Thinking and Creating

Who do you think is doing the thinking and creating? The mystics emphatically state that the lower nature, the human part of us, does not do the thinking. The ego doesn't because most human thinking is not in the correct sense of the word actually conscious thinking. Consciously thinking is the key. This is a contradiction to what is judged normal. Our thinking is referred to as unconscious thinking because the typical human is unaware of the presence of Absolute Intelligence, the Divine Energy within himself.

Scripture states that we are the image and likeness of God. Because the divine energy is our true identity, we actually already have all the faculties and power available for our use. The problem is our being oblivious to the fact that we are usually involved in error-thinking. How many humans actually understand that the mis-thinking or sense of separation from the One Power and Presence has drawn us away in consciousness from the reality of who we really are?

Mortal consciousness thinks and believes it is doing everything on its own. This is only an appearance. One of the purposes of the Divine within us is to fulfill the law of creating. A thing seems real to us, good or bad, because we are thinking or believing it is so. Other people may see a situation in an entirely different way.
How can we do real thinking? How can we bring about change and stop being fooled by appearances?

Focal Center of Consciousness

Many of us realize that the Divine Self, the real us, is our personal version,a watered down consciousness. It doesn't need to remain in a weakened state controlled by human misconceptions. We have also been told that each cell in our body has a consciousness and an intelligence of its own. We can only continue existing or working intelligently through the activity of this higher Intelligence. So, who is the directing intelligence whether it is done consciously or unconsciously?

Who is this Intelligence? Most of us take for granted the gloriously constructed physical body we call our own. As a human, we can respect and honor our body by feeding and caring for it with good choices. We cannot as humans consciously direct or control a single cell of our body unless we enter into the consciousness of the Immortal Spirit Identity who we eternally are and have forgotten. Disease and death exist because people have not connected to the higher Self to the degree where the lower and higher nature work together as a team.

Cell consciousness is common to every body in matter regardless of size or form. Within any body is a consciousness that is a builder and entirely Impersonal. Within the Impersonal is a consciousness, an intelligence and a will. It is this same directing Impersonal Consciousness, intelligence and will that exists in all life. Understanding this truth, we realize what oneness really means. The Impersonal Absolute Energy and the personal spirit energy that we refer to as our higher Self cannot be separated except through ignorant thought.

What is Life?

Radiant Life is the energy which animates the body. It causes us to think, feel and act. It is the Spirit, the animating Cause of our being. This animating Cause is what creates and sustains all life regardless of form. Life is a threefold Force. It is given many names but to simplify the energy let us call it wisdom, love and power. The three are the manifestation of the Radiant Life in form. Everything that exists manifests and expresses some phase of the three aspects of Divine Life.

This Force is in the heart of everything, including nature. There is absolutely nothing that does not have the One Infinite Reality as part of it. Minds who profess they are separate from the Force are only fooling themselves. It is their personality denying true life. The human personality thrives on illusion. The Intelligence animating all living things in the universe is the Real us. Humans are caught up in the shadow world causing the True Self, the animating life force, to be watered down, thinned out.

Once we begin to remove from our mind all the human misconceptions, ideas and opinions, the True Life is given a chance to express freely. Finally, the mind and soul recognizes that it is meant to be a focal center of a Divine Consciousness, which is Light.

How Do You Know Who is Speaking?

How can you be certain if the words in your mind are from the higher part of you when asking for counsel? To quiet the human mind and body and center yourself would be an obvious answer. There can be times that you do that very thing but are misled because your emotions are in control and you are not centered although you think you are. Often the human personality gives the answers that we wish were truth. The process of receiving correct and helpful counsel is increased when we pay close attention and trust. Even then, mistakes may be made because you have not learned to be still.

The first test to receive true counselling is the acceptance of the Real You, the higher Self. The majority of people think of themselves as the intellect and body. The intellect and physical body are not the awakened consciousness. The key to success and contact is to feel and know the Divine Self within. In times of great stress, the message that always comes to me is 'Be still! 'Be Centered! Know, I Am the Real You...God in form'. It may take you stating and thinking these thoughts a thousand times a day before you realize their potency and actually believe them. People tend to intellectualize thoughts regarding spirit identity and fail to allow the truth to penetrate deep into the soul.

When you are relaxed and centered state the words, "Be Still" to everyone of your cells. If you do this with love and persistence, you will taste the power and presence of the Real You. True help and companionship will naturally be with you. An amazing activity will take place whereby the higher Self will take control and do whatever needs to be done. I will never forget the time when I was sitting at my computer sad and troubled. I was actually looking at a blank 'write' page before sending a message to a friend. As I sat staring at the page, words suddenly appeared on their own from an invisible hand. The message said, "I am Peace".

Undermining the Personality

I have the gift of seeing, hearing and feeling the personality of another soul after it has crossed over into the subtle worlds of Light. I always find it amazing how similar the personality is after death to the temperament it expressed while in the body. From my understanding, the personality from the life the soul recently dropped remains with it until it is ready to move on to higher vibrations or descend again into physical form. Once the pull to the old life wanes, the soul begins to express more of its true personality, which is a culmination of the strengths of all its past personalities.

There is also a very different authority at the same time. It is a Divine Personality that the evolving soul gradually through life experiences recognizes and accepts as its own. Before the union occurs, the human personality will rebel because it generally is proud of its individuality and doesn't yet recognize its true higher Nature, the Divine Personality. The human personality is needed to develop a strong mind and body, strong enough so it can eventually reach a point in conscious awareness where it is prepared to know the higher Self. Once we recognize the authority of the higher Self, the undermining of the temporary human personality begins.

People often assume that it is the human personality who desires to spiritually evolve. It is not. It is the hidden mystery, the real Divine Personality within who makes the decision to come out of hiding. It is actually this higher Self that is leading us through all the nonsense and illusions of the human personality. This is the ancient method used to awaken the soul to the unreality so it will turn to the one and only Reality.

The True Bread of Life

The Bread of Life is You. It is the part that knows all things...your higher Self. It is the part of you that responds to truth, beauty, joy and Light. It is this part that is your real Teacher. The Divine Self will bring you clear messages regarding all the things you need for your physical, mental and spiritual growth and happiness. Whenever you resonate to words of another, it is but a confirmation of your inner knowing.

Your higher Self is not your human mind, neither is it your intellect. They are only outward phases of your human personality. The higher Self, the spirit of you, is an expression and extension of your Divine Impersonal Spirit. The goal is to understand this truth thoroughly and live it completely. When we step away from the domination of the human personality, we free ourselves from further entrapment.

So much of what we define as us are the thoughts, belief systems, and personal opinions of others who are also threatened and struggling. The biggest problem is the personality who fights the truth of who you really are. The Divine Self has always been with you. If you have not yet achieved understanding of the significance of your true Self, you will not know the Presence with confidence and an ever deepening love. Would you like to consciously know your real Identity? Are you ready to embrace the mystery and cross the bridge of separation, limitation, doubt and fear?

Exploring the Depths of Your Inner Abyss

The two principles of good and evil coexist in each human being. The heavenly enlightened ones know that before the last degrees of Initiation, we have to explore the depths of our inner abyss. There are wild beasts, so to speak hidden in the subconsciousness part of the mind. The tendencies are usually from a remote past. It is best to go down to that level siphon up just a few elements at a time. You go about this clearing through prayer, Harmony, bringing more radiant Light into your life and love.

When you become aware of negative influences that are attached to your mind and body, study them closely. You must be strong and anchored sufficiently or firmly in the Light to conquer forces that have controlled you in different degrees. Much of what is harmful to a human both within and without are influences from the astral world. Many people feel like they have been invaded. When you are unbalanced, the nervous system receives severe shocks. Help is available from the Angels and Archangels, the Initiates and Masters, and all the Patriarchs and Prophets and also from friends and relatives who vibrate in the subtle worlds of Light.

Archangel Michael is a perfect collective symbol who fights for the good. There are many Hindu gods such as Lord Murugan and Goddess Durga who work with us when we recognize and accept their presence and power. When we ally with our own higher Selves and bright celestial friends, we do much better than struggling alone. These glorious and heavenly beings work with the Light just as you need to do for enlightenment, harmony and liberation. Invite the forces on High which are light, love, purity and kindness to assist you in a thorough divine vacuum cleaning.
