NOT SEEING SOMETHING YOU ARE LOOKING FOR, SUCH AS AN ANSWER TO A SPECIFIC QUESTION, OR WHATEVER IT MAY BE, DOES NOT MEAN IT IS NOT THERE; IT IS. BUT YOU ARE JUST NOT READY YET TO SEE IT. WHEN YOU ARE, WHAT YOU SEEK WILL REVEAL ITSELF TO YOU EFFORTLESSLY. BUT, UNTIL THIS MOMENT COMES, NO MATTER ALL YOUR EFFORTS, YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SEE IT. THEREFORE, STOP SEARCHING, RELAX, KEEP QUIET AND BE STILL. RECOGNIZE YOU ARE BLIND AND DEAF, BECAUSE YOU ARE. NOW, JUST KNOWING EXACTLY WHAT YOU SEEK, AND BEING CONVINCED THAT IT IS THERE ARE ENOUGH, UNTIL YOUR MIND ACHIEVES A CERTAIN LEVEL OF CLARITY THAT WILL LEAD YOU, LITTLE BY LITTLE, TO A NEW WAY OF SEEING WHICH IS TRUE VISION. AND THEN, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO SEE WHAT YOU HAD BEEN SEARCHING FOR SO LONG, LAYING RIGHT WHERE YOU STAND, JUST UNDER YOUR FEET - BYRON CHRISADVENT

Real Vision Is The key To Salvation
What you really need as human being
In this life of impermanence and turmoil
Is spiritual clarity and vision to see the truth
Beyond the limited perceptions of the mind
No matter the circumstances and conditions
Truth is more close to you than your own breath
And you stand by it just where you are right now
But it remains hidden to you up till this moment
Due to the clouds and bondages of the mind
And the lack of alignment with your Self
To achieve the required state of clarity
You must follow a step by step process
In which you first recognize your blindness
And the disharmony in your consciousness
That prevent you from seeing the truth
Or the salvation that is your birth right,
Then learn to achieve unshakable peace
To do so stillness of mind is the prerequisite
But before achieving this stage of quietness
You must have faith in a greater power
You recognize as the anchor of your life
To which your mind is tightly connected
Through the Son of God or Christ link
The Superconscious in Human being
There is no better anchor for human being
Than the Almighty God Himself His Creator
And the connection to Him is activated
By constant and consistent focus on Christ
In charge of alignment of man with the Father
And to Whom the blind man asks for help
For his sight to be completely restored
Convinced that in Christ is his salvation
In a state of stillness mind gets clear
Then little by little man's vision comes
And he can realize that the salvation
He has been searching for so long
Has always been right under his feet
Think about it and...

Believe That You Have Received…
You are a
multidimensional being
Living
simultaneously in multiple planes
None
version of you being aware of the others
And just as
everything else in this universe
You exist
in different representations
In the
form of vibrations, energy
Particles,
atoms and matter
So before
possessing something physically
You in
your spiritual form first own it
In its
primary and essential nature
In which
you and everything are all one
In this
spiritual realm where there is no matter
Time as
well as delay do not exist as such
And whatever
you conceive with your thought
Is instantly
yours at the level of vibrations
And because
time does not exist in this realm
Notions
of past and future have no value either
The Eternal
Now being the only time there Is
So whatever
you have ever got in the past
Or will get
in the future in reality occurs Now
Therefore to believe that you have received
Is not about something obtained physically
Even receiving in itself induces separation
It is recognizing fully your original nature
And that you are
already whatever you think
Because being of the same Source as all that is
Now live from this new understanding
And Act
As If it is so
because it is indeed
Until you realize you really need nothing
Being One with everything in existence
At the core of who you truly are from Source
Know that what you really want is peace
However you don’t even receive it but are it
And you recognize it only through the clarity
You achieve in moments of complete stillness
Finally give your Creator your whole life
As He knows all about you better that you
So that it becomes as He would like it to be
And that only His Will be done and not yours
When you come to this point of surrender
All resistance from your ego sense of life
Is totally released and you come to realize
That all is well indeed just as it is
And… what a bliss, my God!

To plan or not to plan
To plan some aspects of our daily life is something not only quite normal, but also necessary for everyone of us. In other words,we can set up a schedule for the day, dream big dreams, design projects for the future and keep paying bills in order to maintain a certain level of comfortable life.
In this process, we use all kind of tricks, stratetegies and techniques such as meditation, visualization, mantras, mental images, repetition and so on, in order to manifest our desires and make our dreams come true.
However, these plans should not be considered as definite or absolute, but just as requests or suggestions presented to God without any sort of attachment, the Infinite Intelligence, to Whom the last word belongs and Who knows more than ourselves what is better for us in the present moment.
If we are convinced of that, we would no longer manifest any sort of resistance, frustration, worry, anxiety or fear when things seem to not work the way we expect them to. Because doing so would simply mean we have strong attachment to the end result which, anyway,is not the end of anything at all, and believe that we are the doer. This, of course, is a big mistake because results are not our responsibility but God's, the only One in charge.
Human being should understand that God, the Infinite Intelligence, which is All That Is, Is also the One willing to express Himself through us, His channels of communication and expression.
This, has nothing to do with our petty egos. But, When we start personalizing this process and believe life is about us, that is where confusion and resistance begin, in the form of doubt,frustration,worry,anxiety or fear, followed by all kind of problems and difficulties.
Once and for all, we must understand, as someone said, that "life is not about us, but about life itself". And, with this understanding come clarity and relief. Also, we start allowing life to flow easily through us, instead of opposing resistance against it.

The guide to the final destination of your life trip
Getting prepared for any Trip
Implies that you already know
What your final Destination is
Or you won't Recognize it
And Stop once you get there
Like in the long Trip of Life
You must firstly determine
What your final Destination is
Knowing that every single Day
You move step by step towards it
Once your Destination is determined
You must Carefully Chose and Take with you
Only whatever is necessary for your Travel
According to your Plans and Realities ahead
And that will not serve you are left behind
However during your life Trip
You can be confronted to all kind of Troubles
Whose purpose is to Distract and delay you
Then lead you to Despear and Confusion
It is exactly at this precise moment
That you must Remember your Purpose
In order to be able to Resume your journey
And keep moving to your final destination
But in order to do it more effectively
Also Remember that a Presence Is standing near you
Which has always been and will always be there
Ready to Help you arrive at Destination
If only you can completely have Faith and Trust
So that when Troubles come and they will
Just as they did with the Apostles in the boat with Jesus
Just as they do when you become like a Thirsty Fish in the water
Just as they do when you get Confused due to some loss
Or for not finding the Solution of a specific Problem
Just as they do when you feel Trapped like a Fly in the glue or the web
In this case one important thing to Remember
Is to never Deal with Problems which are but pure Distractions
By giving them your Attention and trying to Resolve them
Which anyway is giving them a Power that in fact they don't have
And invariably buying more of the same with your Attention
Which is a universal Currency capable of buying almost anything
Know that Stillness brings Peace and Clariry in Shady waters
And that Clarity in its turn provides the Vison you really Need
You don't know it yet but what you Really Seek
And you should Focus your Attention on exclusively
Is this Presence of God in you through the Holy Spirit
Your Guide and the Answer to any Problem you'll ever face
And without Whom access to the Kingdom is impossible
Thus you need Faith and Complete Trust in Him.
May this be your first Prayer!

"You of litthe Faith, why are you so afraid?" (Matthew 8 :23-27)

Let the dead bury the dead
You cannot put your attention on scarcity, trouble, problems, difficulties, obstacles, limits and so on and expect to achieve clarity, inspiration or happy outcomes. Focusing on the problems you have is like keep moving the mud in the river with the intention to find your lost coin. You will never find it!
Everything takes place first in the mind which, by nature, is formless and shapeless like free water, but capable to take the form of any bowl or container. Bruce Lee said: "Don't get set into one form, adapt it and build your own, and let it grow, be like water. Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water. Now you put water in a cup, it becomes the cup; You put water into a bottle it becomes the bottle; You put it in a teapot it becomes the teapot. Now water can flow or it can crash. Be water, my friend".
In order to be formless and shapeless like water and able to get set into the form you like, you must first learn how to teach your mind to become still and empty. It is then that clarity will arise and you will be able to see and finally find what, deep inside of you, you were looking for, but which you really didn't know on the surface or conscious level.
Once you've got there, focus all your attention only on that, and forget about what you don't want. Of course, you know it because it makes you feel bad and unease. So, never again pay attention to it by thinking or talking about it. Doing so would strengthen what you don't like and be like attempting to find something lost in the river by turning the mud over and over.
What you want is peace, love and happiness in abundance. Just focus on them only . Allow your mind to take their form, and let those things that trouble you (problems) take care of themselves. That is what Jesus meant by saying: "Allow the dead to bury their own dead" – Matthew 8:22 (18-23) and Luke 9:60 (57-62).
Matthew 8:18-20: "When Jesus saw the crowd around him, he gave orders to cross to the other side of the lake. Then a teacher of the law came to him and said, 'Teacher, I will follow you werever you go.'
"Jesus replied, 'Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.'
"Another disciple said to him, 'Lord, first let me go and bury my father.'
"But Jesus told him, 'Follow me, and let the dead bury the dead.'"
These are very interesting passages in the bible that, when quietly understood, may clarify lots of things in our life.
As stated in the second paragraph, everything takes place in the mind, that can take any shape, just like water. In the scriptures, reference is made to a lake! The crowd that is refered to here represents problems in our mind, where their only reality is. As for the other side of the lake, it stands for any good thing that may deserve all your attention.
Here, Jesus advises us to let behind us all trouble, to let go of all the problems in our mind, and focus only on their opposite, or the other side of the lake, where you can find peace, happiness, joy, security, abundance, beauty, love, etc. Your mind, therefore, would move from one form into another endlessly.
Now, instead of moving continuously from one form into another, which apparently is a big waste of time, my advice would be that you focus your energy only on Christ, or God. Because in Him, lies everything you would ever need for peace, happiness, joy, abundance, love, etc. That's why I call Him "All In One" or "Shortcut" for a fulfilled life.
Think about it...

Forgiveness as medicine for peace of mind and healing
You are a spiritual being, using a physical body. As such, you must seek mostly what is spiritual, not the reverse. Don't forget your main purpose here, which is to use the world as a means for getting back home, through forgiveness and love. But, there is something very important to remember. It is that you cannot do it alone, without some help. This help is given by the Holy Spirit in you.
The Holy Spirit is your savior, because he knows everything about your life and is able to do for you what you cannot do for yourself. That is why you must leave the driver's seat of your life and completely rely on him, instead of counting on your pitty self for sustanaible solutions to your problems .
Joy, peace or love cannot precede forgiveness, just as healing cannot precede the treatment of a disease. That is impossible. Forgiveness, which is the medicine of your soul to heal your shady mind, must come first, before healing can take place in the form of peace, joy, etc.
It is only when your mind is healed, that the experience of something else can follow. That means, your other needs are fullfilled after the appropriate state of mind is achieved. Nothing can be found in shady water, quite as nothing constructive can go out of a disturbed spirit.
So stillness, which is for water what forgiveness is for the mind, is required, before clarity may come and enable you to find what you have been searching for so long, the Holy Spirit; the solution to all your problems, which has always been there, waiting for you quietly, patiently and lovingly.
The only reason you weren't able to find Him, up to this moment, is merely because you continued with excitement to disturb the water of the river (your mind) with all your unconscious negative thoughts, instead of calming down, letting go and relax, in order to achieve the stillness state that brings clarity and healing.
"Seek first the Kingdom of God and everything else will be added onto you". Realize that the key to the Kingdom is forgiveness, through which clarity, love, joy, happiness, good, kindness, peace, gratitude, appreciation, charity, satisfaction and so on, can be found. As soon as you unlock the door, you can then experience all other benefits.
The mistake most people do is seeking the benefits first, in form of acquisitions, for instance. However, in this way, it is but putting the cart before the horse. God, All That Is, should be your main center of interest, before anything else. Consequently, love Him unconditionally and, let the Holy Spirit guide you, as you don't know how to do. It is in this condition only, that the rest (health, relationship, acquisitions...) can follow.
The fact is, when you put something else before God, it will take time to come into manifestation. As a result , you become frustrated, anxious, worried, unhappy, disappointed, etc. And, due to the law of attraction, the more you feel that way, the more you become so, and the less you have chance to get what you want.

It has nothing to do with something extrernal
The block, or stuck you think you are in has its root cause in you, and in you alone. Don't look for it or for relief outside of yourself. You will not find it there. Instead, look inside of yourself, where all the universe is. But, forcing things to happen outside and blaming external circumstances are negative attitudes.They are useless, and will lead you nowhere.
Remember how the elephant could find the heart of palm it lost in the water. After having rigorously and angrily disturbed water and searched for it unsuccessfully everywhere in the river for a long time, the elephant very upset, felt very stuck and tired, not knowing what else to do. A fog, passing by, told him to calm down and remain still, so that water gets clear. The elephant followed and applied its advice and, after a while, the river became clear again and the heart of palm could be found.
The amazing thing about you is that you possess knowledge intellectually, but you are not convinced enough, like the elephant before in the story, at the point to apply it in your own life. The first reason is that you are not constant and consistent about a chosen path. You try many things or many paths at the same time, not following one of them to its end. What you are doing is merely jumping from one technique or teaching to another all the time. And this is the sure recipe for failure.
The second reason is that you seem to appreciate knowledge for knowledge, just for the feeling of joy (the joy to know), satisfaction, amazement, or specialness you get from it. However, knowledge is not to be hidden inside of you. It is to be applied, or it vanishes or dies. But, you seem to not give enough time to apply what you learn. You believe that in itself, knowledge is enough for the improvement of your life. This is a lie.
This stanza is perfectly clear about the subject: "Although a man may be book learned, if he doesn't apply what he knows, he is like a blind man who, with a lamp in his hand, cannot see the road".

You see, Applying is really a key point in your path to success. But, to apply does not mean necessarily to be perfect or to succeed overnight. Far from that. That means to exercise, to practice and to do training constantly and consistently moment to moment, day by day, like a athlete, until what you learned is transformed into an habit recorded in your subconscious mind. Results, therefore, become almost instantaneous and automatic externally, when time comes.
You would ask when and how to apply what you learn. The answer is very simple. Know that every waking moment of the day is an occasion to apply the knowledge you now possess. There is no specific time for that. But, above all, don't expect a particular result; they will take care of themselves instantaneously, as said earlier, at the right time. That's how it works, and not another way around.
Also, be kind to yourself and love yourself. Most of the time it is not the case. Because when you entertain toxic thoughts and feelings such as impatience, frustration, anger, resentment, fear, worry, anxiety, doubts and so on, you pollute your mind and all your being. That does not do good to yourself.
Remember that God loves you eternally and unconditionnaly. And if this is true about God Himself Who created His loving Son, it should be true about you. Who are you to be against the will of God? Therefore, be good and kind to yourself, encourage yourself, celebrate yourself, forgive yourself and love yourself, just like Fhe father for His beloved Son that you are.

The heart of palm as peace of mind
Do you remember the story of the elephant which spent many hours in the river, searching unsuccessfully a heart of plam it lost in the water; but that it couldn't find dispite all its efforts to do so?
In fact, what was the real problem of the elephant? Simply that when the heart of palm fell down in the river, the elephant hastily and blindly started searching furiously and rageously everywhere in the river; and the more it searched, the more troubled and dirty the water became.
As a result, completelly exhausted, our hungry friend couldn't find its food, until a very small animal came passing by and which, having listened the elephant's story, gave him the following advice: "friend, if you want to find your food, stop struggling and troubling the water. Slow down, be still and relax. Let the water became clear again to enable you find where your heart of palm is".
The elephant followed the advice of our new friend and, imagine what happened. The heart of palm was right there, lying quietly under its feets!
The morality of this storyI love so much is that, whenever you are troubled for any reason, you cannot find peace or the solution to your problem with an agitated mind. Just as the elephant couldn't get its food back from the troubled water. That is impossible!
Whatever the situation you are confronted to in this moment, you must remain calm, be still and relaxed completelly. And when you are in this relaxed state physically, your mind will follow also. Now, look at the problem or situation directly. Don't try even for a moment to escape from it; instead, face it, welcome it and spend some time observing and examining it closely.
Now, start forgiving the situation and yourself for all the trouble you are experiencing. Keep doing it until you feel some sense of relief. Maintain and increase this feeling of relief with detachment before letting go. This is realized by seeing the situation or the trouble progressively fading away from you, little by little, until it disappears completelly from your sight.
At the same time, clarity, followed by love, take place in your mind little by little also, just as trouble disappears from it. And when all the troubled water-confusion in your mind- has vanished, you'll discover that the solution you were looking for was lying there, just under your feet. But you could't find it as long as you were persisting in your agitation.
But, above all, know that the only thing you have really been searching for is peace of mind. Now, you know how to find it.

In fact, what was the real problem of the elephant? Simply that when the heart of palm fell down in the river, the elephant hastily and blindly started searching furiously and rageously everywhere in the river; and the more it searched, the more troubled and dirty the water became.
As a result, completelly exhausted, our hungry friend couldn't find its food, until a very small animal came passing by and which, having listened the elephant's story, gave him the following advice: "friend, if you want to find your food, stop struggling and troubling the water. Slow down, be still and relax. Let the water became clear again to enable you find where your heart of palm is".
The elephant followed the advice of our new friend and, imagine what happened. The heart of palm was right there, lying quietly under its feets!
The morality of this storyI love so much is that, whenever you are troubled for any reason, you cannot find peace or the solution to your problem with an agitated mind. Just as the elephant couldn't get its food back from the troubled water. That is impossible!
Whatever the situation you are confronted to in this moment, you must remain calm, be still and relaxed completelly. And when you are in this relaxed state physically, your mind will follow also. Now, look at the problem or situation directly. Don't try even for a moment to escape from it; instead, face it, welcome it and spend some time observing and examining it closely.
