Have you noticed how time appears to have accelerated? In fact, everything seems to be moving at a faster pace. Do you ever stop and reflect objectively on your personal journey? I do ask many questions, but that is good. We must think and think deeply to spiritually evolve. For isn't that the reason for our being entombed in a physical body? Today, the end of another year, is a perfect time to review our own evolution as a soul struggling to master limitation. Were the people, experiences both good and not so good and your sense of self receive any enduring benefits or blessings during the past twelve months?
Many of us believe we are invincible...that we can live indefinitely in good health, youth and beauty. Groups of souls keep returning in cycles. When our cycle is over and we leave our bodies behind will we feel that our brief impression on earth was a job well done? Will we be pleased with our efforts? What if you believe in the teaching of reincarnation? If you do, will you welcome the idea of returning to a new skin and not be conscious of your own divinity? The idea of not being fully conscious of spirit identity should bother everyone. Life would be viewed in a totally new way if more of us understood that personal consciousness must be awakened to some degree in order to remember the past and be who we really are.
Do you remember? Are you willing to return to a new body and try again to be what you have forgotten? Are you ready to go through the struggle of soul survival amidst ignorance and distractions all over again? There is a way to avoid the trap of soul memory loss. Wake up! Wake up fully to the inner world. Be familiar and master the inner world. Once you have opened that door, future experiences or lives, if you choose, will be under the control of the Master within rather than the ego without. Today, tonight, the end of another year of chaos all over the world can end for you personally if you decide to wake up and BE who you really are. Why procrastinate? Why suffer? You have been reminded through many sources that you are a co-creator with the One Supreme Creator. You are more than a co-creator. The One lives as you. It is time to accept this truth and live it. May the opportunities in 2009 resonate with your Highest Nature. Embrace the fresh page presented to us right now and fill in the blanks with the desires of the soul.

The Time Has Come
To be certain of our spiritual identity and to be able to actually live it, we must be willing to empty ourselves of everything that works against the purpose of our soul. There is only One Source. To become conscious of the Real meaning of life and to interact with the One Source, we are required to be simple and trusting as a child. Are you ready to do this? How many years, books, lectures and experiences do you require before you empty the lower nature of its distractions and conditioning?
The time has come for us to comprehend more of the Divine Idea and vibrate, think and feel from our Higher Nature. Why continue to search outside of our consciousness? The crazy part of this whole creation puzzle is that the piece called our consciousness is actually a focal point of the One Mind. If more of us really grasped the truth that it is impossible to breathe, create and live without the Higher Nature being in us, the world would certainly be a lovely place to visit.
We are what we believe we are. Why not believe in a higher version of who we are and stop the false belief of separation once and for all? Why keep fighting the obvious? Why keep repeating mistakes and pretend we are something that we are not?
Repetition can be a useless waste of time, words, feelings and action. Why not finally accept our spirit identity right now and hold onto it throughout the new year? We have many gifts. What do we do with the gifts? We may express beautiful truths and even be blessed with the power of healing but the only true art is the acceptance of one's spirit identity and seeing clearly.

Soul Searching
Right now, during the holidays, it is a perfect time to do deep soul searching. I read another blogger's comments several days ago and was quite impressed. She used the word 'certain and 'divinity' in a statement that asked whether we felt we were certain of our divinity. This is a powerful question to ask yourself and would be very helpful if asked periodically throughout the day. At least, this is my opinion. When you delve deeply into this question of certainty, it brings up many other questions and issues.
Most people regardless of their spiritual leanings hope for a better year. Now, with the economy as it is, ongoing wars and many good people without a job, how can anyone hold onto today's catch phrase, "Yes, we can?" Hope is the salve but we still need to deliberately with perseverance take action. It reminds me of the time when I was fifteen years old and visited Southern California with my family. One day, we went to the Farmer's Market and was enticed to go over and get a palm reading by a woman sitting off by herself. She told me at that impressionable age that I was a very old and wise soul. At that time of life, I had no idea of what that actually meant. I never forgot how she looked at me and what she said. What I realized later in life was that the palm reader was not speaking to a fifteen year old girl but to my soul. She was alerting my soul to infinite possibilities that I may not have thought of if she had not been so blunt and seemingly impressed by the lines in my hands.
People and things happen to us during our life that serve as red flags, reminders of contrasts between a higher reality and the temporary drama that we are caught into in this moment. Yes, we can do anything that we dream of but our love and belief, trust and action must do something to make it so. What we can do right now at the end of another year is ask ourselves if we are certain about our divinity. Once you decide one way or another it is then up to you to decide what you are going to do about your certainty. I accepted that I was indeed a very old soul and took this to mean that I had a hidden reservoir of knowledge and direct experience to draw upon when needed. I also believe we are all old souls. It is just that some people don't think, care, bother and know with a certainty that there is a glorious inner ancient splendor waiting to surface brilliantly once again as wisdom and selfless love, our true identity.

An Open Vision
Why not have an open vision every day? With more Light present on earth at this time of change, greater good will be available to souls who care. There is nothing new in the area of truth because truth actually had no beginning. The fact is...more of us are awakening to something good that is beyond the physical senses. As we unfold, we have clearer vision and wider spheres of action. Let the spirit within be your only guide.
The work that needs to be done within is far greater than outside teachers and influences. Many people do not spiritually expand in their understanding and creative ability because they harbor lack of forgiveness for self and others. Perhaps, you will take the time to contemplate the fact that falsity of any form is connected with the outer self of the senses. Sin and falsity belong to accepting division and chaos.
It is said that sin forgiven is the end of sin but not the end of its results. We can change the results of suffering and turn them into good by lifting our own consciousness and then living with an attitude of respect and love for all life.
To experience love one must be ready and yes, obedient. Most people shrink from the idea of obedience. I am referring to the impulses that you receive from the eternal higher part of you, the eternal Self. Listen to it. Love it. Respect it and start living it in a grander way. A higher love is part of our true Nature. When we love fully without judgment or conditions, the inner Christ of us will display its amazing power and presence.

An Opinion about Jesus, the Christ
A blessed holiday to those of you who seek the consciousness of a Christ Mind. This is the Mind that comprehends. To be the supreme man and have at last an enlightened consciousness is slowly dawning in every heart. Humanities understanding has been childlike. Jesus tried in his own way to teach us that the higher understanding is putting Christ on the throne within us. This means accepting our own spirit identity, our own ability to live the inner truth and express the higher power in matter. I believe that is what Jesus meant when he said, when you see me, you see the Father. There is only One expressing in the many.
Jesus tried to help people understand that it is the inner power, the Christ of each one of us, who reveals to man his birthright. God-Man Christ is all in all. The Fall from this understanding is a false understanding and it is still going on today.
People continue to suffer because they have chosen a divided consciousness of good and evil. There really is only one consciousness; it is deep within all the time.
Jesus, in my opinion, did what he could for the times and the people to help them shake off the shadow of ignorance. The idea is for us to become aware as we live in the shadow. Once we really grasp the reality of the true life, the solution to life becomes obvious. We can then with confidence express the greater capacities for a Christ Consciousness while in matter. Why not look at the new year, 2009, as an opportunity to remove the veil and mentally set in motion the healing currents and dwell in the higher knowledge and wondrous love? Let us stop being content to live in the shadow and pain.
Know the God within, the Christ that waits recognition, and thou shall BE.

Call to Growth
Here it is another holiday season. It is particularly enjoyable with the snow and the wild animals making their way to our patio. A smorgasbord is waiting for them. My canary who is placed right near the sliding door always lets me know when the 'wild' ones arrive. I love to write and to share deep thoughts with you although it is easy to feel wholly inadequate when attempting to convey spiritual truths. I have been in mistaken conditions and it consciously took me a long time to fully accept that the form we call ourselves is in essence a remote distant likeness to our real Self.
This is why I write and teach...to give you hope and an understanding of who we really are. It is said that no poet can give you his true poem; I believe it. Perhaps, you feel like I do and yearn to be a greater likeness of the Christ spirit.
Growth is simply an expansion of consciousness, remembering and then living the marvelous being that we really are. Heaven is not a place, but an awareness of the Absolute One, the Creator of All. What happens is that we gradually become filled with an all-pervading love. So here we are in matter relearning how to allow a higher love to fulfill itself through us.
The most difficult part of the journey in my opinion is to accept our own divinity.
Millions of us are in different stages of bondage and yet, the door is always open.
I began long ago by being obedient to the impulses of the spirit within. This is not easy because it takes a clear discernment and determination to be able to really know what is a true intuitive thought and what is the lower nature desiring to control. Falsity imitates reality. Many souls worship the Supreme Spirit through Jesus, the Christ.
We require human examples. What he tried to convey to us has appeared to failed in many ways because humanity is still blind, deaf and dumb to the ancient wisdom teachings. It is a very challenging time right now on the material level. Perhaps, if more of us would raise our mind and heart from the deepest darkness and allow illumination to arise, the radiant Light would spread quickly. Walk by the spirit of truth. Keep your heart full of gratitude and love not to whatever you visualize as God but to all men, all life forms. Remember the familiar phrase, Awake thou that sleepest? I bow to the Christ who dwells in you.

Words Fail Us in More Ways Than One
Another day of heavy snow in our area. It reminds me of the various covers we wear over our intelligence and soul. The snow plows will arrive in the afternoon and then tomorrow or another day the covering begins all over again. It has been said repeatedly throughout time that the more the thinking conscious mind strives to express in words, the Supreme One's Idea, the greater and more abject the failure.
Why? Because that which is Science, ideas beyond human consciousness, cannot be expressed purely from the point of the human personality.
Our awakening is a step by step science. When science is coupled with selfless love and devotion to the Source behind the appearance, we get somewhere in the area of true understanding. A strange thing happens to us when we return to the Garden. When the physical personality is subdued and the impersonal spirit breaks through, we tend to be both impersonal in our approach to life and very compassionate and understanding of the stories of others. To be conscious and survive in our earthly mission, it became necessary for us to enter into all conditions of Earth life. To achieve the Idea behind creation, it was necessary to develop a thinking mind and a body capable of expressing the intent of our Creator.
This is a big order because descending souls usually lose sight of their purpose in being in flesh. It is like we are all near-sighted. If we lose the sight that can see the Soul of things, confusion reigns. So, we wear imperfect lenses until the day that the Light begins to shine again on the shadowy mist. According to mystic studies, this condition had to happen for the soul to continue its return to matter. Of course, when the soul forgets, it loses confidence, becomes confused and every type of deception and falsity surfaces. This is the process that is necessary to evolve a human mind and will, a body that will have the strength to eventually return to the Divine Idea. This is devolution and evolution, which eventually lead to BE. To understand the words I write, you must open the higher part of Mind and leap from a human sense of self to the eternal True Self.
