The Cause of Evil

The doctrine that God can be incarnated in human form is found in both religion and philosophy. It is said, that when goodness grows weak, evil increases. What does this mean? The bodies of human beings are affected by the good or bad states of their minds. The answer to this question is discovered when we research and ultimately discover the Light. The divine serenity and good will of the many is one of the reasons the world does not go completely mad. In the psychic universe, the same holds true. If the psychic world is fed obsessive thoughts of evil, egotism and rebellion, it will connect with humans whose behavior is negatively emotional, mistreating the mind and body and off balance. The human mind affects consciousness regardless of its density or visibility.

When I speak of density, I am referring to the fact that matter is Light condensed. When a soul lives in matter, it psychologically distances itself from the Source, God, the Limitless Light. Imagine an immense circle with a point at its center. Living in a world of matter we are on the periphery and not at the center, which emanates the light. Souls who have manifested in matter lose their center. The only way they regain it is through personal seeking, striving, loving and being. So, if a soul does not know that it has distanced itself from the Center Light, it reacts in confusion, forgetfulness, sorrow and in many cases anger. These reactions are self-destructive. Much of the sorrow today is a direct result of humans understanding on a very subtle level that they are missing something very valuable. They are missing grace because they judge themselves from the outward appearance and not the inner light of perfection.

Yes, I am saying that the ugliness, disrespect, selfishness, horror and cruelty that can be experienced by a soul whether it is in a physical body or existing on a lower astral plane is the result of this sense of lack and separation. You see, when Nature and life is not respected or understood from the center point, the doer's light is diminished. Dying is all about diminished Light. When I look at people with my inward spiritual eye, the intensity of their light is obvious. The light of their consciousness can be barely visible or it can be like a waterfall spilling over into life itself. We are light first. The physical body came later. If we do not take care of the inner Light, the mind, emotions, body, relationships, work and whatever we do is harmed. It cannot expand because the light is temporarily capped. From a cosmic point of view, all of us must move towards the Center, the Limitless Light, Father-Mother God, our Source. Church, temple and ashram attendance is not the answer. The answer is within your heart and mind and how you allow your light to shine. If it is basically snuffed out, you die on every level through negative thoughts and associations. Your mind attracts to you what you think and feel about all day. Looking at evil from this perspective, ask your self whether any form of negativity is an outside influence directed at you or is it that your inside needs a divine scrubbing.

Negative Entities

Many intruders, invisible negative entities, do not know anything about realms of light and good. Beauty and wholeness is not real to them. They assume sickness and pain is normal. They are attracted to people who are not balanced in either body, mind or soul. Frequently attachments are felt in the physical body of the victim. The victim doesn't realize that his or her pain is actually an intruder who chose to make his home in that area. Sounds bizarre but after confronting a negative force who spoke through a patient as I laid hands on him, I know anything can happen. The earthbound entity did not understand love or the energy of spiritual light. In a case like this, I always call on the angels to come and remove the unwanted. The proof is in the result. The pain left the man's hip immediately upon the release of the entity.

Don't play around with an intruder from the subtle worlds. That assignment is for the angels to handle. As I said before you can with authority demand it to leave. I urge you to call in reinforcements for a permanent removal. There are mental entities who desire to direct a person in behavior and in purpose. Frequently, earth bound entities possess people who have violated their own conscience. Using drugs, even prescribed drugs, are an invitation to intruders if you are weak willed. People who play around with psychic boards and mediumship open themselves to possession. It may begin innocently but once you are hooked, the energy will shift. The idea behind the attachment is to manipulate you to their whims.

Alcoholism may be the result of an earthbound soul looking over your shoulder urging you to drink. There are entities who put their force into muscles creating constant tension for the target. Just because you cannot see the invisible world and its inhabitants, does not mean it isn't there right along side your physical existance. If you are Christian, command the intruder to leave in the name of Jesus. Many innocent people who have mental or emotional illnesses carry some kind of nasty spirit influence that is dark. Once the darkness is removed, the body can recuperate sometimes almost instantly or at least in hours. Strangely enough, a dead relative many be lodged into the victim and just won't let go. I have witnessed the tremendous influence of lost and manipulative spirits, their removal and the ill made whole. As long as we live in duality, we are exposed to both the dark and the light. People need to understand the dark forces and definitely increase their own light. Guard your negative emotions. They are the key that opens the door.

Earthbound Souls

I remember twenty years ago reading about Dr. Edith Fiore and her comments regarding earthbound souls. She was right on, so to speak. For thirty-eight years, I have had personal experience with this subject and have written about it in my last book, Be-Embracing the Mystery. The doctor stated that 80 per cent of her clients are possessed or obsessed. The symptoms range from mild to severe. Frequently, the possessed are hospitalized or even institutionalized. Dr. Fiore back then had already delivered over 1,000 people from possession. You do not need to go to a doctor or priest to rid yourself of one. The problem is that not all entities are docile and sometimes the one being attacked or bothered must be stern and demand that the intruder leave at once. I discovered through observation that some people actually enjoy having an attachment of another personality. For personal reasons, the entity fulfills a need lacking in the person's life.

Dr. Fiore advised to work on yourself and watch for the following symptoms: low energy levels, character shifts, mood swings, inner voices speaking, impulsive behavior, poor concentration, sudden onset of anxiety, sudden onset of depression and weight gain without reasons. I have removed unwanted earthbound souls for some of the reasons she mentions as well as other reasons. Sometimes, the earthbound souls are simply mischief makers. They are capable of banging on furniture, windows, playing in standing water, turning electrical appliances on and off, making objects move and much more. The souls who indulge in such activities are for the most part not spiritually aware of their purpose in existence. They also may have unfinished business and refuse to accept that they are no longer in a physical body. I am speaking of the type of entity who hovers around a human or location year after year, not guides or beings who desire to help a human by offering assistance.

This sounds absolutely nuts in many ways but it is recorded in most religious scriptures. Jesus said to his disciples, "This kind of entity does not go out except through fasting and prayer". As I said before, a few humans like having an entity around. They think it is amusing. A short fast usually dislodges the entities if they are not dark and determined to undermine the peace of the target. The following suggestions will help in discouraging nasty intruders. Keep open bibles around the home, place salt in the sign of a cross on a plate under your bed. Light a candle whenever it is appropriate, use incense, sprinkle salt in corners of your home, play inspirational music when depressed, take a herb called scullcap when you are depressed and dedicate your home to the Light of God and daily bless your home by going to each room making the sign of the cross in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. If you really want to get rid of an intruder, be authoritative regarding intrusions from either negative people, entities or thought forms. Do not allow negativity to invade your space. People who have come to me have used these methods and they work only if you really want the earthbound soul removed. More tomorrow.

Learning, Exerting and Making Sacrifices

People who do not understand why we are on earth also cannot understand the concept or goal of Initiation. They feel they can do without all the effort. Isn't there enough pain without always trying for some nebulous something that is not fully understood? What is not realized is that there is a subtle or etheric earth. Some call it heaven or a higher invisible dimension. The soul wants to return to that other place of light and harmony. The problem is that the light of many souls is dimmed and the return to a higher vibration requires true knowledge, exertion and making sacrifices. All religions, even the most primitive, have this tradition of the fall of man followed by his redemption and return to the Creator Mother and Father God.

There is no physical distance between heaven and earth. the distance is in our consciousness. Once the majority of souls return to stability, everything will be different. It is true that our inner life is constantly tried and tested. There is so much disorder on the planet right now that can easily undermine our spiritual goals if we do not become a spiritual warrior. What humans must understand is that there are inferior earthbound souls that tempt human beings. These souls have not yet developed love for God and life. How can this happen? Quite easily. When a soul enters matter, it enters limitation and bondage because the soul forgets its spiritual identity. A great many very advanced spirits forget all about their origins until they meet someone who has or is experiencing a direct connection with the Divine, reads or hears something that triggers a forgotten memory.

Matter is our cross of forgetfulness until we make a consistent contact with the higher Self and the energy of radiant Light. So, we could say that we are the cross because the cross is made up of the four elements. If what I am sharing sounds true to your heart, the following is a suggestion that may assist in your spirit work on matter. Each day stand and face the four cardinal points of the universe in turn. Each of the cardinal points is ruled by an Archangel. Yes, they do exist. In the East is Mikael, in the West Gabriel, in the North Uriel and in the South Raphael. This rite of turning and facing the four cardinal points before a prayer or meditation invites and assists you in communicating with the four dimensions of space. The movement and call will help you transform limitation, a sense of separation and memory loss of who you really are. For those who read this idea for the first time, know it is far from a new thought. The Christian religion devotees make the Sign of the Cross. The Rosicrucian symbol consists of a red rose in the center of a cross. There is also a parallel between these symbols and that of the Grail, the emerald cup. The cross and the cup are always figures of man. It is on the cross that the rose will bloom if we love life and the Divine.

Have a good weekend, a stable one. I invite your comments and suggestions.

Wriggle Out of Karma

Every once in awhile, I find an author/teacher whose understanding is identical to my own. We reach true understanding through experience, analysis, meditation and deep thought, which eventually lead to ancient answers, the truth. Those who have some knowledge on the subject of karma do their best to let destiny work itself out without avoiding it. They feel this attitude will set them free from all debt. This process of obligation and paying off causes from the past may take centuries to completely remove. While you are paying debts off, it is very likely you will incur new debts.

I have always taught that there is another path. Deliberately work day and night on your own enlightenment and apply the way of the saints, prophets and mystics. What they do is find opportunities to help our people, nature and causes. Sometimes, this asks of us some form of sacrifice. I find it heartwarming that the energy in the United States of America is swinging towards helpfulness, kindness, generosity and love. Open minded people have been talking about how we are all one since the 1980's; now it is time to do something about it. Through the application of the ancient truth behind a genuine caring and reaching out to others, we remove ourselves from the ordinary laws of destiny...karma as typically experienced. Notice, I said a genuine caring. A true lover of life and opportunity is not a fatalist. We make up our own mind and take destiny in hand.

A few people cry that their astrological chart states bad aspects for them and they give up hope. The inner man, the spirit, is above a birth chart, above the stars and planets and their influence, above karma, above all else. Destiny cannot touch your spirit. We can get out of from under the shadow of moral debts that we have incurred to others, animals, nations and all life including our self by continuing to identity with our innr Self, create and lift consciousness. Your inner Self is capable of setting things right. To chart this course, be confident, absolutely convinced that nobody or any event will burn out your inner spark. Tap into your inner freedom of spirit. Stand tall and have the courage to advance. As you lift your consciousness, you will realize that in the realm of selfless love and purity, there is no such thing as karma. We can turn any situation around by accepting the gold of our true Self. Keep this focus and the debts of the past when we were not so enlightened will be taken care of.

Master of Your Choice

In today's world, there are endless tools available to help us heal regardless of the trauma we have experienced. We are the ones who must be responsible for our actions. As Henry Thoreau wrote: "I know of no more encouraging fact than the unquestionable ability of man to elevate his life by conscious endeavor." In order to change on any level, the first thing we need to do is get unstuck. Look closely at how you perceive yourself. Most limitations to success come from internalizing negative messages from people and past events. These can easily be overcome. We have the power to succeed. What is needed is taking the right action and allowing our awareness and choice-making ability to open up to grander possibilities.

We can take the best products for our body but if we do not watch our thoughts and love our self first, we fall short. Loving yourself first means guarding the gates to the body, mind and soul and not allowing negativity in any form to remain in our mind. Regardless of appearances, every one of us has incredible blessings. Be thankful and embrace them. It is possible to change your thinking and actions. By taking small and steady steps while focusing on the blessings, we allow our dreams to blossom and be realized. As Marcus Aurelius said, "The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it."

Take time out each day for at least 15 minutes and allow yourself to feel the energy flow through you. Then, when you feel centered either go to your computer and write on a blank page or pick up a pen and paper and write a record each day of how you feel. Talk out your problems on paper. I have done this all my life and it works beautifully. Psychologists have discovered that people who keep a journal and write down disturbing experiences in their lives and give their impressions about those events actually make a striking improvement in their immune function. Don't keep your problems bottled up. Every day when you are alone, sit down and write out what you feel is both pleasant and unpleasant. Don't read it over. If you use a journal, put it away somewhere in safekeeping. If you use your computer to record your private feelings, use a new email address and do not allow anyone to know the password or to send you mail to that location. Keep your journal absolutely private. You can either do it for a week with one particular issue or until you have nothing to report to yourself. Read your comments the next day and then delete them.

This old practice of mine takes care of everything. Clarity, surrender, new ideas and a higher intelligence takes over. Later, when some of the material is read, it reads like fiction. You will also observe your own growth. Writing is a totally different dimension than speaking your troubles out. Speaking out loud, the problems become bigger, tremendous, voluminous in size. When you write it out and read it the next day or whenever and delete it, it takes on a totally different energy. It is out of your brain. It is out of your cells. The best part is that you are free and can stay centered. It is possible to free yourself of old patterns and guilt.

Energy Centers

Are you aware that depending on where you were born and raised on our world determines how many subtle energy centers you have in your spiritual field? We accumulate spiritual congestion in our spiritual body, which is not addressed by traditional physicians as a rule. We are capable of healing ourselves when we have the knowledge that there is a personal magnetic field, which has to be healed. People in the Eastern part of the world have seven magnetic centers or chakras. Here in the Western world we have nine energy centers. Because we have more, it does not mean we are more spiritual. There simply is a difference in the magnetic field of different races. Research describes eight energy centers for true American Indians.

Each subtle energy center has its own color. A friend told me yesterday that she has a mass in the thyroid area. According to the ancient teachings, if the color magenta is low over the thymus glad, her immune system is sick. I plan to call her today and suggest that she visualize magenta and demand that the color return to the area of imbalance. There are some common products such as fluoride and sodium fluoride that diminish the color magenta and energy in the immune system. Every center in our aura, subtle force field, acts like a transformer in an electrical plant. Balance is the goal for this form of self-healing.

There are many tools available to balance and clean our energy centers. Different instructions are offered according to the part of the world that you inhabit or the particular teacher's preference. The bottom-line is that the energy centers regardless of their number must be balanced with each other. Every day we are exposed to environmental poisons, the rays from our computers, television, microwaves, cell phones and for some people ongoing stress. When one of our energy channels shuts down or even weakens, it is a form of congestion and impacts our emotional, mental and physical health. I suggest that you explore the subject of color healing and your energy centers. Knowledge of your energy centers is only a glimpse into the vast storehouse of data available for self-healing. Look upon the magnetic energy as an alkaline medium to keep your body balanced. When the physical magnetic fields are balanced, your electrical field, the spirit energy activates. The electrical energy works in an acid medium. There is another circuit of energy to achieve balance, which will be briefly discussed tomorrow.
