Thoughts about Death

Physical death is an effect and a choice although it may appear otherwise. When the soul is ready to leave the body it attracts or finds a way to exit the temporary form. Whether death appears natural or deliberate matters not. The body is a garment and when the soul no longer has a desire to use it, the soul will find a way to leave. Physical forms are garments created for an experience, an experience that the soul creatively has chosen. The experience may be wise and bring further evolution or it may be unwise and create temporary pain and stagnation.

A physical death is always natural. Humans do not usually understand the underlying death wish of the soul who has not completed the return journey to conscious Oneness using a physical form. The Hebrew Bible tells us about men who did not have a death wish: Elijah, Moses, Melchizadek and Enoch. Everyone lived 500-1000 years. Today, India has its immortal yogis. Physical immortality is defined as a body and mind that remains healthy and active for over 300 years. The three basic causes of death are ignorance of the true identity as spirit, emotional energy pollution and poor diet. People die because they kill themselves.

The death urge definitely programs humans. The death urge is defined as a psychic energy composed of all of our anti-life thoughts. These thoughts form a structure and belief system. The energy has a life urge and intelligence. The urge can be changed or destroyed. Death is inevitable and beyond our control is a key thought in victim consciousness. I just read where in 1958 the average life span was 74. Today, it is 85. I mention the death urge because insurance companies are based upon the principle that each person dies at approximately the same age and of approximately the same symptoms as their parent of the same sex. There are exceptions to this family rule when we look at the cause of the abuses we allow to infiltrate our subconscious and control our minds and bodies.

Guarding your Peace

Change is necessary to create peace within. Peace is independently felt within oneself. It is not dependent upon outer sensation. It is something that belongs to us, something that is our own Self. This is our wealth. Those who do not have it are poor. When we are peaceful, we have the power to observe keenly. We can conceive and contemplate properly. Spiritual progress depends on peace within. Have you thought about the lack of peace? Love of sensation, movement and activity in all its different forms, wanting more and more objects and a dependency upon the outside life, the soul loses peace. Train your self to keep the mind focused on the center, the inner peace and your state of mind will be undisturbed. When we are undisturbed, we are less likely to create negative causes. It helps to choose a particular word or mantra that is helpful and mentally or silently use it in moments of disorder.

To remain undisturbed, be constantly aware of the sneaky influences of the subconscious part of the mind. It behooves you to be at constant attention. Do not allow manipulation to touch your energy. A serene mind must be the master, creator and doer. The soul chooses what it would like to experience. The original plan is not set in stone because of the free will and outside influences. Your spirit is patiently waiting for the conscious part of the mind to make the right connection and the feeling nature to develop the passion. To know all is to experience all. This does not mean it must be an actuality. It means that the mind entertains, tastes and assimulates the possibility of an experience in deep contemplation and feelings. It means that the use of unlimited imagination is as much as a reality as the actual physical or material experience.

Looking at Suffering

Although Jesus suffered, he did not have to. He chose his path. The path happened to be during a time of great spiritual ignorance and turmoil. His choice came from an inner well of deep understanding. He understood that the spiritually ignorant live in fear, despise change and resist responsibility for their own actions. He knew that the common energy was barbaric and that barbarians kill. That was his sacrifice. To place his sublime consciousness in a field of muck and mud.

Suffering is not required by law to evolve although that is the typical program most souls choose. Understanding truth and being the light is the answer. Through deep understanding, compassion, discernment, unlimited possibilities and a love for the creative act of simply being who we are molds the thinking mind so it may receive truth and digest it correctly. The thinking part of the mind becomes a receptable for unconditional love and infinite wisdom.

From the human point of view, I am well aware of the challenges that exist for souls who have attained a measure of inner peace and have already awakened love, goodness and balance within. We watch suffering. Those whom we love may be neglectful of personal consciousness or have ongoing disorder in their lives. It is then that we must train our own mind to be compassionate but yet detached. Everyone is not on the same time table to develop and control his or her senses and experiences. If you live in this type of situation, focus on your own center remembering that you too had to learn through effort how to achieve and sustain a state of equanimity as your initiation into Buddha or Christhood.

Everything is Choice

Everything is choice from the lowest and simplest form of life to the highest and most complicated. The only judgment given is the judgment from the unforgiving and dissatisfied part of the mind, soul and personality. There is no great Being dictating what you should do or not do. Remember, free will is your tool to use.

There have been commandments given, principles explained, laws created for moral reasons and the development of character defined. Guidelines have been offered throughout the ages to bring Divine Mind's Order into man's disorder. When we finally know and accept the spirit Self, we write the commandment, the principle, the law and it is our choice as to whether it is useful for growth or to be discarded. In other words, every unit of intelligent Light is free to express through the choices it makes. Learning comes through contemplation, meditation, prayer and action. It is not so much the effect that should be feared but the importance to understand the cause. When the thinking part of the mind understands the cause, effects can be neutralized and healed and discontinued if one chooses.

What works towards our inner joy is an understanding of the higher part of who we really are. Units of Light consciously and unconsciously are continuously seeking means to create and expand the power within. The incarnating soul needs to redefine itself in each incarnation experience. If the soul is not satisfied and feels limited, it is time to recreate the personality and physical body using the model of the higher Self as a guide to outwardly reflect beauty, truth, love and completeness.

Past Lives

Have you ever wondered why someone else appears to have everything going perfectly in his life and you are going through loss and perhaps relentless suffering on many levels? There are many possible explanations. It could be that your friend or loved one focused on purification and higher knowledge on matters that eternally count somewhere else in time. It could also indicate that he has chosen to take a brief 'vacation' from inner thinking, drama and spiritual evolution. Another possibility, the easiness of his life could also indicate that he has reached a level of inner peace and the effects of his developed consciousness are now evident. I personally feel that many advanced souls have ongoing challenges during this cycle of collective soul history because they have chosen to move fast forward and realize a higher state of enlightenment. Challenges definitely make or break us. There are countless reasons behind appearances. This in itself is a good reason not to judge another or even ourselves.

The average amount of past lives each of us have experienced is beyond conscious comprehension. Sometimes, a soul is fortunate to simply understand, accept and take action on one virtue or gift gained in a past embodiment. One of the many gifts that I appreciate is the ability to periodically review the strengths of previous life achievements. A Voice whispers the name, geographical area, time of history and more. When the information is offered, I usually research the data looking for a message that will help me now. I do not share the information because it is personally meant for the expansion of personal awareness. We do have strengths that we have won from the past. Knowing what they are will help us in the present. The past, present and future are in this moment. Our strengths are blessings. Use them now. Look honestly at the weaknesses that remain and transform them into future blessings. You are the weaver of your own personal tapestry.

Causes projected from Mind

All cause stems from mind, not from the product of the mind. If you attain mind power and learn to command matter a growing power that enables you to heal and to avoid the necessity of having to heal will be yours. The cause of problems on any level happens because we defy the law of balance in some respect. For instance, you cannot heal anything, command anything unless you have first learned to obey, an action many people do not like. You must have the Higher Knowledge in order to obey. Trust is linked with the Higher Knowledge. Nor can anyone heal beyond his power to obey the higher principles. The growth of spiritual awareness transforms humanity only a little at a time during each successive lifetime.

Humans typically ignore the invisible universe. Misery is caused by ignorance of spiritual law and man's defiance of it. What we give out comes back to us. It is a law of balance. Humanity is still in its early dawn and the majority do not know how to live, or how to love, or who they are and why they are here. Too few have yet awakened to their divinity. Therefore, while humans are still so new in their spiritual evolution, they must be forgiven. As Jesus said, 'They know not what they do". Because the majority pay scant attention to the power of the mind, they do not understand that there is no god taking a child away in death and no god causing ill health, lack or limitation. When consciousness is elevated, we do go through a process of purification and a gradual understanding and balance begins to manifest as a constant energy.
