Honor Thy Self

There are obviously big changes happening all over the world. These changes will impact lives in ways unforeseen. What can you do? Begin by deciding there is something that you can do. I suggest that if you do not already love and honor your own being, start now. A movement has already begun towards simplicity, genuis, downsizing and reinventing ourselves. There is also a genuine growing interest in spirituality. Some people are actually leaving their jobs by choice and moving to rural areas.

To understand what honoring the Self means requires deliberate changes. Nine years ago, I left my day job, social life, gave up television and monitored telephone calls. After 18 years of offering motivational talks and healing opportunities to others, I decided to give back to my Self. I did this through choosing solitude, prayer, meditation, contemplation, research and listening more closely to the Intuitive Voice. In consciousness, I moved away from the appearance world of suffering, pain, lack, fear, separation and ignoring the rights of the inner Self. In other words, I chose to leave duality as it was and is and emerge myself in non duality and unity. As I understand purpose, our assignment is to firmly connect to the infinite eternal Self. Part of this process is to be a conscious spirit intelligence who is attentive, open and exercises critical thinking. In other words, not parrot or mimic others. Instead, use the higher part of the mind, discern and see clearly.

Self awareness demands that we are grateful and appreciative of all the good that we have. It is the genuine sense of a thankful humility that assists in our self awareness and healing. I spent hours each day walking along the riverfront communicating with the wild life , water and trees. When we allow ourselves to observe, communicate and feel the rhythm of the natural life, we are at peace. In choosing to step off the world for a specific time period, I found solitude and oneness with all life. Like most women and parents, I had a long history of giving to others. It was time to give back to who I really am.

Summary

Karma, both positive and negative, eventually exhausts its self. I suggest you stop focusing on negative effects. Instead, send the effects love and release them. If you are not aware of past harmful thoughts, words and actions, ask in prayer and meditation that the past be healed and negative influences removed.

It is a good discipline to pay attention to everything you project out into the world. What you project reflects the past and creates the future. To exercise self-mastery, we must make an effort to stop old patterns that have proven to hold us back from being fully God-realized. If a thought or activity obviously works against enlightenment, remove it. Keep asking for purification. To be cleansed of harmful energy clears the way towards joy and the freedom we desire. Love your Higher Self more as well as forgiving the lower self and others. How can you really love other people and nature if you do not genuinely love your own divinity?

Make a conscious decision to live from the highest part of your mind and heart. Accept and realize that the 'front door' method is to claim your spiritual identity, embrace and live it. You will be surprised how acceptance and love of Self removes tension, negative effects and frees you from bondage. Understand the hidden truth that society is programmed by a death wish. God does not bring separation, unease, sickness and death to us, we do.

There is a quote in the Bible that states, "God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to a knowledge of repentance". Repentance means to change our mind. To claim our divinity is the first step. The fact that souls are being healed on every level is our proof.

Dare, Try and Be

Be patient with yourself as you dare, try and be. Link your mind and feeling nature to the Divine World. As the link strengthens, your connection to the All-pervading Light will offer you Higher Knowledge. Understanding and using the Higher Knowledge, you will be more likely to create positive causes and effects. This is a profound subject. It is understood by living it. Isn't it time to stop punishing your self? Understanding removes the veils and love sublime takes its place.

If you are already aware of past negative causes, they can be healed by sending a true force of love back to them and neutralizing the energy. Burn negativity through love and knowledge. You can do this even if you do not have a conscious recall of harmful deeds. Neutralize all feelings of hate, resentment, fear and greed. Ties are dissolved through recognition and forgiveness.

Transformation begins in the mind. Become a conscious shape-shifter. Anyone who exercises discipline and has a plan for spiritual growth can, with practice, consciously control and reshape life according to imagination, will and a good belief system. It is in the learning to be the true Self that future effects are controlled. It takes a certain amount of courage to do what is right. You can transform weaknesses. Be honest with your self and others. Change comes through effort. It is possible to heal negative effects lurking in the background waiting to manifest. Use the power of mind. What mind are you going to mimic? The mind of the unenlightened or Divine Mind?

Purifying the Unnecessary

I know through years of experience that at a certain key point of inner understanding negative karma can be purified. Karma is a mental creation. If you plant poison, poison will grow. You can experience the effects of your negative karma or purify it. The Bible says, "God is not willing for any to perish, but that all should come to a knowledge of repentance". Repentence is the science of changing the mind. Dig deep and you will reveal what needs to be changed. Meditation, contemplation and prayer will help you. The way to be free of past impressions is to learn non-attachment or higher knowledge. Knowledge is like a purifying fire.

Help does come by changing our attitude. Learn to live life consciously and deliberately and not become emotionally unbalanced when you act. I am not talking about being indifferent or non-loving. Non-attachment from matter and personalities creates freedom; attachment creates bondage. Learn to love all the things of the world, but don't become attached. Matter is temporary. Inner Self is permanent. Everything else is subject to change. Why not deliberately change your attitude?

When you truly know your own connection to Divine Mind you automatically understand the principles and laws that are useful for spiritual growth. You always have a choice. Havoc occurs when you forget you have a choice. You must actually die to the manipulations of the lower nature and be reborn consciously to your inner spirit nature. You will still be you but a much more radiant you than before. A serene mind is the master, creator and doer. Regardless of the choices you make, you will continue onwards toward your goal, which is conscious perfection and self-mastery.

A Quantum Physics Thought

If we understand quantum physics, we learn that there is no ultimate cause and effect. Undoing the past means forgiveness and re-creating the present. We are the ones creating the illusion.
Everything that is not harmonious can be changed, dissolved, enhanced and enlivened when we
are aware and act upon the higher knowledge. We are responsible for our use of creative power, whether it is expressed consciously or unconsciously. Suffering may or may not be experienced if an individual is spiritually mature and practicing universal law. When our focus is on spiritual endeavors, we gradually move into a liberated spiritual energy, which ultimately leads to freedom from negative karma and worldly attachment. Since it is rare to live a life in isolation, we do need to constantly monitor our thoughts and feelings so we do not become mesmerized and entrapped in another's drama of disorder and despair.

The more we are consciously aware of our own spirit identity and live it, the closer we become to resembling our higher divine Self who does understand the illusion. Right identification will keep us from wavering and falling into a state of imbalance. We can also do whatever we can to alter a negative effect by removing our energy from any activity that violates peace of mind and happiness. This cannot always be accomplished through physical removal but a higher state of mind can be reached through a combination of compassion and detachment. If we find ourselves in situations of disorder, it is necessary to know how to manage the thinking part of our mind. We have the power to put an end to the cycle of self-perpetuating suffering. Why not prepare your mind so you can discern as well as receive truth and peace? Not to honor our inner Self is to violate and disempower its purpose and presence.

Sacrifice of Spirit

It is my opinion that we can handle anything that comes up in life if we have true knowledge regarding our spirit identity and apply the knowledge gained. The higher identity is spirit-light-intelligence-beauty-truth projected temporarily into matter. Matter, emotions and mind are usually assumed to be the only self. The latter is the everyday baggage that we carry around in our normal human state. Until we awaken and rediscover Spirit, it is trapped in space-time. It is our responsibility to set it free. Entrapped spirit is the great sacrifice talked about in the ancient teachings.

The physical world manifests through desire. A higher energy, Spirit, became a living part of the creation. In the meantime, the individual projections of the One Mind forgot its origin. When sublime truth and the real identity are forgotten, harming others or ourselves is often the result. Due to forgetfulness and spiritual ignorance, negative energy is created that will eventually boomerange. Humankind has been warned. Consciousness and desire create the causes that appear in life. It will benefit us if we look at this issue and think deeply regarding personal energy and how to use it. Our current energy is creating the future. In truth, the past, present and future are happening right now. In other words, energy becomes what it thinks about. The energy that most people have forgotten is the hidden and ignored energy of the eternal Spirit, God within...the natural divinity.

If we understand quantum physics, we learn that there is no ultimatre cause and effect. Undoing the past means forgiveness and re-creating the present. We are the ones creating the illusion.

Entrapped Spirit

It is a good habit to remind yourself periodically that your spirit is entrapped in matter. The more you lovingly care for the body and mind, the greater your awareness, light, beauty and health. The care you give to the outer opens the way for the inner to express freely as you.
Hate, fear, greed, doubt and all the intense emotions that are opposite of love, light, wisdom and beauty create future imbalanced experiences. These experiences can be altered, neautralized when the mind and soul awakens to the truth of its Real Identity as light and spirit. The ego-personality is not the authentic you. Knowledge of our spirit identity, understanding and being pure in our intent, compassionate and a genuine love for life can wipe clean all the confusion and nonsense that is keeping the soul separated from its Source. Separation only happens in consciousness. The personality moves away from the Source, not the opposite.

The only true life is one that is lived consciously as spirit. If the individual spirit feels limited in its embodiment and unable to express its full potentiality, it will find a way to discard the form. Light in every electron desires to expand. If the personality and the way it has lived the physical life has been disabled, it will find a way to discard the form. When you really look at this thought closely, you will understand what is meant by the expression 'the living dead'. The inner light of the individual is in bondage. A soul has a choice and if it is happy with its choice in discarding the body, it has made the right choice. Regardless of the choices made, the soul continues onward towards its goal, which is conscious perfection. Eventually, the cumulative experiences will satisfy and the soul's journey ends in conscious oneness with its own spirit/light and the expansive Light of its Creator.
