God evidently hasn't power over disease, war, death and all the other negatives. When you fully understand that the Creative Principle that the majority refer to as God is not responsible for what happens to us, then you are evolving. If we understand that the nature of God is infinite love, infinite wisdom and good, then it finally dawns on us that God could not have created the ongoing nightmares on planet earth. All the uglies are created by man.
The only real power in the universe is the One Power who we lamely refer to as God. This One Power reigns in the spiritual universe. What happens in the physical-material universe(s) is the result of our demonstration of creativity through desire. There is only this indescribable infinite Intelligent Beingness but since the conscious mind of man is confused and feels separated from the One, chaos reigns. The typical human has a stronger belief in material power than right thinking. What does this have to do with you and me? Nothing ugly or negative can have power over us if we keep our mind and heart centered in the One Power.
You can prove this when the various nasty manifestations present themselves in your life. The imbalances existing in our personal and global lives are not being looked upon or handled from a spiritual wisdom perspective. When we individually reach the point in consciousness where we can look at the manifestations of darkness and realize that the appearances are man created, not created by the One Power, more light blazes in our consciousness. Being in this wide awake and true state of mind removes the fiction in our lives. It is up to us to stay at the center of our being. This is where the One Power resides. Accept and know that the Light that is within you has the power to dissolve the disorder personally and impersonally once you are consistent and brave enough to allow your true nature control.

What is God?
What do you feel God is? How do you know there is a God? Have you seen God? Can God be described? If not, why bother discussing this question? Where did you learn about God? This last question is a very good one because most people learn about God from someone else. How many souls have learned about God as a result of an inner experience versus being taught by another's concept of God? Jesus realized a complete oneness with God and from personal experience could say with authority that the Father God lives within. In other words, all the grace, love and powers that humankind seeks, we already have.
Humans call God Father or Mother or both because the One Absolute Energy is a Universal Creative Principle whose infinite nature is an all-embracing love. Now, if you really desire to experience the goodness and grace of God, you are required to align yourself with the Creative Principle. One way of doing just that is to contemplate truth. If you really understand your own relationship with Creative Principle, the Infinite Intelligence, the Indescribable and know It as love, your problems are solved. It is not that the One Power and Presence prefers some people over others; the relationship and interaction is the direct result of whether or not we have an awareness of God.
Many of us prefer not to use the name God because it is limited in its general meaning for most people. The name does not begin to describe what the One Power actually is. Yes, we can see that Power in nature, in people and in the universe. This power is an infinite Intelligence that we personally know as immortality, infinity, goodness, health and harmony, grace and abundance. All the aspects of Divine Love exist in us already. When we pray, it is far wiser to ask, seek, and knock for more radiant Light, greater spiritual wisdom and discernment so we can fully accept the spirit identity that we own already. I have mentioned in other Blogs how joy is missing on planet earth. One of the reasons joy is missing is that people are so reluctant to opening themselves to what is buried within. Why not listen to the inner Voice and with confidence allow the inner to express through the outer? Instead of talking about what is God, we are demonstrating the Indescribable.

Why Seek a Spiritual Healing?
Have you found that when all physical, mental, moral and financial discords are removed that you still feel an inner unrest? Unrest continues until we make a direct and constant connection to the Source of our life. Finding our inner spirit and making that contact lifts us into a new consciousness of life. In seeking a spiritual healing, we are lifted into a grander dimension of consciousness where physical limitations do not operate. Our motivating force needs to be finding the connection to Divinity because man is not the healer.
Spiritual healing is very different, actually strange. We do not require training regarding body parts, nor do we have to engage in special hand movements or statements of truth. It appears revolutionary because all we have to do is BE and the One Power and One Presence does the work. People have difficulty grasping this state of mind because all the evidence in the world appears to be contrary. To understand what I am trying to convey requires preparation of the mind, heart and soul. It is necessary for the individual acting as the transmitter of divine power to feel confident and be in a state of harmony surrendering the process to the higher good of the patient. Focusing on matter is not the answer.
You see, there is something available that is really not known by the human mind. The Light is the means by which healing occurs. Light appears as a result of devotion to God, the Supreme Spirit. As soon as Light becomes a part of your consciousness, it benefits you as well as those who come to you. Every time you lift and sustain a sublime state of consciousness, more light vibrates in the world of matter. The nature of the Light, the divinity of our true Self, is good, loving, wise and truthful. To be a true healer of self and others requires a steady awareness of the Light, which has always existed. Healing on every level occurs or unfolds according to the proportion of our conscious awareness of a higher Reality. Although it is a high power that does the actual healing, we are required to bring our own state of being into awareness of that truth. It is then that healing takes place.

A New Beginning
Being at the beginning of a new year, a new story, an adventure that we create, I was reminded of the late great master teacher, Omraam Mikhael Aivanhov and his comments on this subject. He emphasized how important it is as to how we begin things and what state of mind we are in and what our intentions are. The results we reap throughout life, successes and failures, depend on how we began them. Before we begin anything new whether it be a new year, relationship, project or destination, it is wisdom to first center ourselves. We do this through the many tools offered such as breathing exercises, mantras, prayer, meditation or visualization. The result is a calm and focused feeling, an attitude that will create a good energy and the ability to find the right words.
Beginning anything new can be looked upon as a quest. How we feel about the new beginning is what we birth. Every day can be a new beginning. Freshness may take time or it can happen suddenly over night. Our responsibility is to open the mind, ask, see and envision it. To begin again, we must be willing. To align with destiny, which I firmly believe we create, we must not tire of trying. It is exciting to begin again because it is a way to tap into the mystery of who we really are.
In the classes I teach on the subject of manifestation through mantras, emphasis is placed on the importance of beginning whatever it is with Celestial help. There is a Hindu god called Lord Ganesha. He is the symbol of one who has discovered the Divinity within himself. Lord Ganesha has tremendous popularity in India and outside of India. People who love what he symbolizes invoke his energy before they begin any project. Lord Ganesha's energy will tell us where the obstacles are so we do not waste time in going through struggle and disappointment. Many people use his mantra and name at the beginning of a meditation session or at the beginning of a project. The recitation is for removing obstacles (physical, emotional, mental, financial and spiritual). It behooves us to use the tools available with reverence and gratitude.

The Gadfly
If you continue to read what I write, you should realize by now that my assignment is to be a gadfly. Yes, a pest of sorts, reminding you to step out of your spiritual amnesia and take action. Why not decide to be a grander version of who you think you are and be it permanently and with joy? Great numbers of people on earth have lost a sense of joy. How can one feel authentic joy if fear, limitation, doubt, selfishness and cynicism rules? So...here I am constantly reminding anyone who will listen that you can actually recapture joy, be master of the lower nature and be free although others may judge you as not.
Just because we have renewed hope in a different leader and his chosen staff actually taking the people of world into consideration, it does not mean they are the ones who will heal our lives. We must step up to the plate and be responsible for our own space and the energy we project into the world consciousness. The typical person seeks temporary relief from personal woes through outside stimuli. the habit of looking elsewhere for answers and healing must stop and asserting one's own inner power begin. Yes, there are solutions, excellent and and ancient tools that definitely accelerate soul growth. What will be new is our daily use of them.
Almost every one I know is relieved and glad that the year 2008 is behind them. Is it? How do we insure our lives without have a repeat of the past? Why not be determined to find proven methods that create a permanent balance and happiness and discontinue the old ways that have harmed and hindered? The good things that produce both a gentle softness and a needed strength are the result of inner growth, an expansion of our light, our soul. When we ignore this choice, our light diminishes and negativity takes hold. Instead of deterioration, we need to seek more fervently as to how we can materialize a genuine human BEing. We create this radiant state of mind through passion, effort, trust, love and a deliberate science. The science is a proven art at living. It is produced as a result of a higher understanding and knowledge that loves Unseen and the seen. It is a light of consciousness which clearly shines on what is true and what is false.

Looking back, Looking Forward
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.
