Regain your wholeness

Most of the time you are in a hurry

To quickly get everything you want

Be it stuff, money, success or whatever

This is because you believe you are a body

And more precisely a mortal being

That will soon leave this world 

So when your desires take time to manifest 

You worry or get anxious and even afraid

For not achieving your goals before you die

As if these would prevent you from death

Or give you some particular advantage

During your life time or after death

The truth is you are not a body

And even less a mortal being

Only your identification with it

Makes you believe it is so 

However who you really are

Does not need anything external

In order to be complete and whole

Because that is its natural state 

It is what you are not that needs it

Reason why it grasps everything on its path

But this does not work because wholeness

Is not the result of additions or multiplications

But the natural state of your Real Self

Now problems begin with your attempts

To make your ego self happy and complete

By amassing and accumulating all kind of stuff

Hoping to satisfy this individual entity
That by the way does not exist

As long as you do that and consider yourself

To be an individual being apart from others

You separate yourself from your wholeness

And begin to feel alone, powerless and weak

 To regain the totality of your being

First accept fully your eternal nature
And seek only what is eternal and immaterial

To prevent yourself from running endlessly

After whatever is temporal and perishable 

Second recognize and see yourself everywhere

In everyone as well as everything in existence

To prevent yourself from chasing incessantly

Your own shadow in whatever you crave

Because you believing it is apart from you  

Think about it and…

…Stay syncronized

Dare to say no to ego

You are Sad and Unhappy
Because you Sell yourself short
By Giving up your Freedom
In the hands of your master Ego

You are Sad and Unhappy
Because you Identify your Self
With a slave at the mercy of Ego
And all its incessant Demands

Dare to say No to this Imposter
To set yourself Free from its prison
And regain your total Freedom
As well as your inner Happiness

Think about it and...

Comments on Benjamin Franklin's appreciation and gratitude trait

"Notice the blessing in everything, big and small. Dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from" (Benjamin Franklin).

This advice on appreciation and gratitude is Benjamin Franklin's first self mastery trait among the thirteen he developed during his lifetime. Personally, I don't know whether or not the author left some insights in relation with the outcomes attached to this advice, except the enjoyment and learning he states to be  the purpose of everything. But, one thing is sure, a deep understanding of this subtile idea is necessary in order to grasp its profound meaning. Otherwise, you would focus only on the visible part of the iceberg and completely miss the hidden and most important one.

When looking closely at this formula, it seems to gather most of the ingredients known today by almost the entire globe to be necessary in order to make the law of attraction work for you and not against you, although, as far as I know, the author didn't specifically refer to this law in his advice.

For me, this is a very powerful formula that, if applied systematically by anyone, can unlock in any area the doors of succees which, from my point  of view, means first to overcome the ego with all its demands. Second, success is also about being resistance free and totally in peace and loving, no matter how threatening or challenging the illusory environment you live in could appear in the dream you call life. That is what success means to me in the first place. It's about self mastery and die while you live; no more no less.

The first advice given by the author in this formula is to "notice the blessing in everything, big and small"; why? Let's try to look more closely at the idea and attempt to understand its profound meaning, always from our personal point of view which, anyway, could not be shared by many people and even by the author himself.

To begin, it is known that what you like, you appreciate and what you don't, makes you prefer and chose something else. In other words, without what you dislike, you wouldn't prefer something different. The teachings or Abraham refer to this as being the contrast whose purpose is to serve you and help you chose what you really want by exclusively focusing your attention on it and no longer on what you don't want. Isn't this true? And isn't it a sufficient reason to consider what you disliked before as a blessing to appreciate and be greateful for finally?

Notice also that concerning everything in this first advice, reference is made to big and small and not to good and bad. Why is that? When you see only the blessing in small things and are grateful for them constantly and consistently, due to the law of attraction, you begin to attract more and more things you are grateful for. In addition, when you pay attention and appreciate the smallest quality anyone or anything may present despite all their defaults, they change positively from your perspective.

Wayne Dyer is right when declaring that "when you change the way you look at things (appreciation, gratitude and love), the things you look at change also". It's like bringing a spark of light into a dark room. And the fact is that not only what you perceive changes, but you begin to change also in your state of mind.That's the truth!

So, you don't have to wait for big things to happen in order to be grateful, because big things don't come every day. But, little ones do almost every split second if you pay attention carefully to everything in your present environment. Thus, only small things will make the law of attraction work consistently for you. Now, when big ones come, your gratitude increases even more.

It's important to note also that, in fact, true gratitude precedes everything we could experience with our physical body, considering that we are not really our body first, but spiritual  beings. In this regard, true gratitude is first about our direct relationship with the Father. It's our connecting link with God, in response to His uncontional love for His Son (human kind), for Who We Really Are.

Now, why didn't the author refer to good and bad? The fact is that if he did, this would have created resistance among lots of people not ready yet for this kind of truth. Who would easily accept without resistance the idea that the bad condition in front of them can at the same time include the good? Wouldn't it be pure nonsense for most people?

Therefore, in order to avoid this useless resistance, to which the teachings of Abraham refer also as being the source of most of our trouble in life, the author, I assume, deliberately didn't make any mention about good and bad.

The second advice in this idea to "dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear, touch, taste and smell" is the process that helps you attract and manifest what you prefer and chose in everything using your imagination in the laboratory of your mind. In effect, every condition or situation you perceive is like a coin with its two faces, and what you get back depends on which face you focus your attention on.

In imagination when you dwell on the beauty in all you see, hear, touch, taste and smell, your five physical senses become so involved in the process in such a way that no difference exists between what you imagine and the objective reality. You start really believing that you have received what you chose and it has to manifest.

Also, the fact that you focus only on the positive aspect or dwell only on the beauty in every perception helps you release the resistance you would have experienced in your experience if it was the opposite.

"Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from" is another advice in this idea of appreciation and gratitude and suggests that even desires are part of everything. As such, they must be enjoyed like their manifested form and, in my opinion, even more.

Desires are like seeds, for which you must take care of and give all your attention, so that they may grow, expand and manifest in the physical form. When you have a desire, it is an indicator that what you want is already yours. Therefore, you should be grateful and joyful first at this stage, before manifestation occurs. Doing so, "you believe that you have received" and it would manifest soon or later. Therefore, don't wait for manifestations to occur in order to be grateful. Gratitude must come first and later, you could finally learn from experience, when time comes.

It is important to emphasize that joy, as such, is not limited only to human beings. It is extended to God Himself, Who is the bank of joy, happiness, all our good experiences and in Whom all this is amplified unlimitedly. All of us, without exception, contribute to the credit of this bank just as cells  in the body participate to the quality of our state of mind and our experiences of joy, peace, love, etc. Human kind, therefore, looks like a community of cells in the ultimate experience of life or God.

So, when we play our role as designed by God, our creator, we contribute effectively to this ultimate and unlimited experience of joy and, doing so, we get interests in our personal account and feel good in return. And, the more we contribute and get interests in our account of joy, the more we are joyful and feel good.

But if we don't contribute enough, even the little joy that was available for us is taken away (parable of talents in the bible). As a result,  we cannot feel good and receive our share from the bank of abundance, peace, joy, happiness, love and wealth all available available for us, but that we deprive ourselves most of the time due to our ignorance.

It's impossible to re-reconcile inreconciliables

The Drama of human being
And the cause of his Unhappiness
Lie in not knowing himself
As a spiritual being

He predominantly lives
Under the influence of  Mind
To which he identifies himself
Almost most of the time

He does not understand
That Who he Really Is
Has nothing whatsoer to do
With its never Satisfied Ego
At the Driver's Seat of his life

He has become its Slave
And a puppet in its hands
Always ready to Satisfy
All its lesser desires
Supposed to bring Happiness
Peace, Joy, or Harmony

But these
Are not the domain of Mind
But linked to your Intrinsic Nature
And What you You Really Are
And nothing outside is needed
For This to be fulfilled

Trying to do the contrary
By your willingness to Satisfy Ego Mind
Is a useless attempt to Re-Reconcile
Things that are inreconciliables

Therefore
Do not waste your time 
Taking in things from the outside

But Give Out what you Already Are
To bring it in your Consciousnes
In the form of Peace and Happiness

Trust your creator unconditionally

If God is your creator
Or your only maker
Isn't it likely that
He knows all about you?

Wouldn't it be likely also
That He knows what your true needs are
How to provide them and when
Better than you can

Just as He knows how to regulate
All  the functions of your organism
As well as the course of the galaxies
And the breath of the entire cosmos?

So don't try to do God's job
He doesn't need your help at all
Never try again to take the driver's seat
It is not suitable to you

Never again listen to the voice of ego
Telling you can do better than your creator
That's a lie which leads to separation from your Self and God
And finally to unhappiness

Your only job is very simple
It is to Trust your Creator unconditionally
With unquestionning faith, love and gratitude
Just as the good Son of His you are

Problem of identification

One of the biggest challenges we encounter, as human beings, is to identify ourselves with who we really are. Most of the time, there is the ascendancy of the ego or the false self on  our mental attitude, then in reactions to life in general.

The ego uses our physical senses to let us perceive the world as it wishes, not as it is in reality. Reality is not of the domain of physical senses, just as your True Self is not. Your Real Self is of the domain of faith.

Human being is at the middle of two influences, the Holy Spirit and the ego. Your identification to one or another of these two influences has a significant impact on your mental attitude and on your life in general.

You must identify with Truth, your real self, your true nature, not with the ego, no matter what your physical senses suggest.

Your essential nature

"No sacrifice, no service, no service, no satisfaction, no satisfaction, no happiness" (Guy Finley)

The essence of a flower is its perfume or fragrance, which differs from one flower to another. And, like a flower, human being also has an essence or essential nature,  inherent to who he is, at the core of his being. This essence is the Spirit of God in him.

But, contrary to human being, the flower does not have an ego and, for this reason, does not produce perfume for itself. Instead, all it does, is delivering unconditionally its fragrance for the appreciation of other creatures, including human beings.

That is, the flower is not so selfish to keep its fragrance just for its own use. Its joy lies in giving it away, all day long, to whomever is willing to appreciate its beautiful perfume. That is its job, and the reason for which it has been created.

Human beings had also been created for the same reason, which is to share unconditionally their essential nature, for the benefit of others. This essential nature is made up of qualities such as kindness, love, understanding, patience, peace, help, support, happiness, of his soul, joy, time, appreciation, gratitude, forgiveness.

But unfortunately, many people have been deviated from this destiny by their ego and put themselves and their interests at the center of their life; anybody else being considered as secondary. As a result, unhappiness has become their daily companion.

You have been created to serve and give unconditionally what you truly are to others. It is in this condition alone that you can experience it yourself, not another way around. The flower, however does not have such an opportunity; all it does if giving freely.

Stop identifying yourself with your ego

You are a multidimentional being, although, like an iceberg, only a tiny part of it is perceived through your physical senses. Don't get confused about it, and never accept to be identifyed with this insignificant part of you. You are much more than that, and much more than you would ever imagine.

The 1/10 part of you would like you believe it is what you are, so that when it is happy, you become also; when it not satisfyed, you are not also; when it is frustrated, angry or afraid, you are also. It is a liar, and you must always stay alert and on your guard, in order to prevent this inferior nature from taking control over you.

To do that, you must become your own observer, in everything you do. You must become the watchman of your mind, and not be totally lost in your actions and reactions in the game of life. That does not mean opposing resistance to your inferior nature, called ego; no. That means just paying attention to what is going on inside of you, without any blame or judgement, and choose to act according to your true nature.

Your inferior nature is like a big hole that can never be filled. Even worse, the more it gets, the bigger it becomes. If you don't get control over yourself, you will end up to a state of complete slavery, always running incessantly after all kind of stuff, money, relationships, fame, and so on.

In the scriptures, it is said: "No one can serve two masters. For you will hate one and love the other; you will be devoted to one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and money". That is the truth. For this reason, every time ask yourself over and over: "who am I serving in this moment, is it the spirit of God in me, or my agoistic self?".

When you have found the answer, act according to the Truth you know about your true Self, which is the Spirit of God in you.

If you don't understand why "you" are stuck

Dispite all your efforts and good will, you don't understand why sometimes things do not work the way you want. "You" feel stuck and no longer know what to do in order to improve the situation that displeases "you". The first wise attitude is to express gratitude to God.

You would ask, why?

Simply because "you" don't have a clue what's going on under the surface of things. Your whole life is like an iceberg. "You" can see only the top, not the big part of it. Only God holds the whole picture, and you cannot know more than Him. Therefore, say thank you to God, because everything is for your highest good.

Then you would ask, why in spite of knowing it, I don't achieve the relief and peace I seek, which are the only things I really need? Why then all this frustration, worry and anger in me?

You don't achieve the relief and peace you seek because of your identification with ego. In fact, it is not really you, feeling these negative emotions. It is your false self, or ego, that feels that way and makes you feel the same, due to your unconscious identification with it.  The purpose of ego, hidden in you, is to make you believe that it is you, and you are what it is; which of course, is  untrue.

But, is there a way out? Is it possible to suppress this identification and stop suffering?

Eckhart Tolle suggests to let all negative emotions and feelings be, and meet them without any judgement or resistance, until they fade away like smoke. Otherwise, resistance and suffering would get stronger and stronger, and compromise the relief and peace we seek.

On the other hand, teachings from a "Course in miracle" ask us to forgive everything, so that only love takes place in us. And through this forgiveness would we awaken from the dream of life and get back home to God, which means to achieve the relief and peace we long for.

It is essential for human being then to understand and know why he is here on this planet, in order to deal wisely with life. He must also know that everything life brings to us today, in this moment, is tied to something else in the past or our past lives.

That is, nothing happens to us by chance. And life does not unfold randomly. Everything, without exception,  is the consequence of our previous thoughts, feelings and actions. Call it karma ot whatever, the fact is that we pay the price or get the reward for whatever we have done in in the past. 

Forgiveness, for this reason, is of great importance here, as escape from the implacable laws that govern the universe is impossible. It is only when you have learned the lessons brought to you by life through all the forms it takes before us, that would you grow and evolve towards higher levels of consciousness.

It will be done onto you according to your faith

It will be done onto you according to your faith. This eternal truth in the holy scriptures has been repeated over and over since centuries and is still accurate today.Simply put, the meaning you give to anything in your life will be your reality. 

It is for this same reason Christ advised to not judge anything. "Judge not", he said, for whatever judgement you will give to any event or circumstance will turn out to be your personal reality. Because your judgement then becomes a decision that produces effects. We had already discussed this issue in the past. But I think it is worth coming back on this important question which is in direct relationship with the way we create our life.

The point where I'd like to get is the following. As you are going into a certain experience in your life, particularly the one you judge as "bad", pay attention to what you think and how you feel presently about it. Because, as stated earlier, your outcomes  will be in direct proportion with what you believe, and the way you think and feel.

There is one thing to keep in mind, always. It is that God loves you and everything you experience is for your highest good. From this postulate, only give positive meanings to everything and see whatever you experience as a blessing, because it is, indeed.

The advantage of this technique is that not only will you neither no longer feel bad and negative about yourself, nor see yourself as a victim, powerless, not enough, limited, guilty, separated from God and so on, but chances are that what was previously perceived as "bad" experiences will turn out to be very positive ones as well as blessings in your life. 

Benjamin Franklin, one of the greatest american thinkers put it well in one of his personal mastery traits with this advice: "notice the blessing in everything, big and small, dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the Almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from".

Once again, the meaning you give to whatever you experience is up to you, and will become your personal reality, not only inwardly, but externally also. In this lifetime, everyone of us has his particular lessons to learn, in particular circumstances. That explains why our birth conditions are not the same.We were not born in  same countries, in same families, or with the same color. 

There had never been a competition of any kind, or a contest from which winners got the reward to be born in specific countries and in specific conditions. Therefore, demonstrating pride for being a citizen of  one specific country, for ones appartenence in such or whatever, are pure ignorance. Even worse, this mental attitude would take you far away from your purpuse, which is to learn during this life time, and delay your personal evolution.

Being "rich" or "famous" in this world is not a gratification or a reward you receive in recognition of a personal performance or achievement  in some discipline. Just as being "poor" or suffering from a grave "disease" is not a sort of punishment due to some bad deeds in the past. Those are merely conditions we all go through in one moment or another in the cycle of  life, to enable us to learn what is to be learn in our process of evolution.

Those who are rich and famous today had already lived in different conditions and will again go through many others in the cycle of their existence. The same thing is true for those who are considered as poor today. It is sometimes amazing to see people telling others proudly how they got where they are, in terms of acquisitions, fame, or wealth as if at the level of ego, they were totally in charge of their apparent success. 

The truth is, those people don't even have a clue themselves how they got where they currently are. They have only an idea of what can be perceived on the surface of the conscious mind which, as known today, represents a very tiny and insignificant part of human being consciousness, unlimited and including the subconscious and the superconscious.

Today, everybody wants to be rich and famous and no one wants to be poor, because material "poverty" is seen as something "bad". But, who really knows the purpose of this apparent misery? Who reaches a clear understanding of the deep meaning and the profound wisdom hidden behind these particular conditions against which the entire planet is fighting?

If being poor was such a hideous condition, why did Buddha left the comfort of his fathers' palace, for this condition in which he finally found enlightenment? Why did Jesus refuse the riches of the world  proposed  by the devil or ego to him?  

Can you imagine a world in which everybody is rich and famous? In such a world, who will be doing what for whom? In other words, who then will be the master and who will be the servant? Who will be applauding the other? Who will be the teacher and who will be the student? And if everybody gets rich, what value will have money again?

You should thing about it. The relative value money has today is simply due to the fact that almost 4/5 of the population is "poor". Now, invert the tendency, and the richest men of the world will become anonymous, maybe like you in this moment.

Somenone  is called "rich", only because another is called "poor". There is neither superiority nor inferiority in that, because both are just two sides of the same coin; learning different lessons from different perspectives. It is just like that.  

You see, nothing is really as you imagine, or as you perceive it. You are absolutely a perfect son of God, living now certain conditions in this life time. I can assure you, there is nothing "good" nor "bad" in those conditions; just lessons to learn from them. 

However, the best way to live these conditions, particularly the "bad" ones that almost everybody wants to avoid, is through understanding, based on the knowledge that underneath each  circumstance lies a lesson, and a blessing, whose sole purpose, when discovered, is to help you evolve a step further, on your path to your spiritual realization.

100% responsibility without blame or avoidance for whatever bothers you

Not a victim, but 100% responsible

When you think or say that somebody has done this or that to you, what you are doing, in fact, is making yourself a victim by giving up your inner God given power to the benefit of someone else outside of you. Remember, nobody has the power to trouble you or make you suffer. Because in fact, there is no such thing as out there and you are 100% responsible of how you react to occurrences.  Any negativity you experience is but an indicator of your passive relationship with the ego and your inability to choose against it in favor of life itself, which is what is.You consider yourself as a victim of life. You think that life, or God, is against you. In fact, you are victim of ego, a puppet in its hands. The ego originates these negative thoughts and feelings in you, and make you believe they are yours. Refuse to listen and put yourself again into slavery. Life is what is, as it is, not as you'd like it to be. Go with the flow and not against it. Resistance is a strategy used by the ego in order to survive

 

Do not blame the mirror or messengers

Once you understand that the world, people, events, circumstances and whatever, are gifts whose sole purpose is your awareness of what is going on inside of you, you no longer blame anybody or anything outside of you. Instead, manifest gratitude for whatever you perceive in the mirror of life, including people, events and circumstances that come to you as messengers, to let you know what’s going on in you. Your goal is to see the world as God does, and not how the ego wants you to perceive it. Therefore, look at whatever comes to you as a blessing, with appreciation and gratitude. Then, take the right action accordingly; action based on forgiveness, love, appreciation and gratitude.

Remember that it is ego, not you

Always, have in mind that it is not you, enduring these troubles and experiencing all these negative feelings, emotions and diseases. But, your ego, that wants you to feel like a victim. This is an insidious game that it is playing with you. He wants you to believe that what you are is what it is; so that you react not as you should, but as it wants. Be vigilant therefore and stay awake. So that, in your awareness, you are able to make the right choice, moment to moment.  That is, whether you decide, or are a puppet.

Don't make the mistake to avoid what bothers you

Often people do whatever they can to run away from others, events, or circumstances that make them unease.What they don't know is that as long as they avoid this feeling of uneasiness, it will keep showing up over and over, until they make total peace with it.When you understand once and for all that the purpose of whatever you perceive as threatening to you is not to harm you, but to help you find your way back home through forgiveness and love, you no longer attempt to avoid it. Because you finally realize that this escape is but  a delay of your return to who you really are.

Not a victim but 100% responsible

1- You are not a victim of anything in life, but 100% responsible for everything because you created all of this. How good is it then to realize that you possess such a power!

2- Unconsciously and consistently, most of it has been created and is being created over and over, moment to moment. And, unconsciously, it can be changed and recreated also the way you want it. But how could you be aware of what you are creating right now, in order to change it eventually?

· What is now, is the result of your past thoughts and feelings;

· What you are creating right now corresponds to your point of focus and the way you feel. It will be manifested in a near future or later;

· If your point of attention does not seem interesting or feel so good, change it immediately.

3- Be conscious of your thoughts and feelings. Keep in mind only what are beneficial to you, and shut the door to the rest.

4- Life, as you see it, is a dream. Nothing that seems to happen didn’t really occur. You are absolutely perfect and totally innocent as God created you. And the things that seem to hurt you are merely the projection of your unconscious guilt.

5- The good news is that you are totally innocent, and your Father has neither condemned nor judged you. So, instead of being frustrated, angry, anxious, worried, and fearful by what seems to happen to you, be genuinely grateful, appreciative and loving to your Father for who you really are, perfectly safe and free.

6- Only the ego feels threatened and afraid. You are not the ego. So, let these feelings be. Because resistance to them is but a subtle trick used by the ego to be protected by you, to survive and maintain you captive in its web by believing that you are one and the same; which is not the case.

Therefore, don’t panic or desperate. In fact, it is what it wants, in order to survive. Because, the more you feel abandoned, the more you desperate, and the more you desperate, the more you protect, feed and take care of the ego. And, as long as you do so, it gets even more strength and more life.

So, to get out of this circle, be still instead and watch. Then, you’ll see those negative feelings fade away like smoke and be replaced by something different, by something better, by peace.

You cannot concile things which are unconciliable

It is impossible to make the imperfect perfect, just as it is impossible to transform the ego into God. Sometimes, you feel discouraged and frustrated when you realize that despite all your efforts to become a better person, you fail and remain the same, or even get worse.

The truth is, it's not you who fails. Who you are is already perfect, and you are but to remember this perfection. Now, you are trying to change your ego so that it becomes something it is not and will ever be. As a result, you get frustrated and angry against yourself . This feeling of frustration, like any other negative feeling, is the sure sign that you are doing it the wrong way.

The result, therefore, will always be failure and frustration. Ego will never become God or your allie. Likewise, trying to transform something you disklike into something you would prefer is an ego game. Perfection or Truth, is permanent, eternal and unchangeable. As such, It can never be the result of any sort of manipulation. Because It just is.

So, knowing Himself as He is, Perfection is not involved in such insane game; which is insane because both what is dislike and what is prefered are temporal and therefore unreal. Why then wasting time with the temporal or nothingness, when Truth or the Eternal is everything we need and is there for us forever?

You feel worried, upset, angry, afraid, powerless, poor and so on, only because of your attempt to concile the unconciliable. And ego and God are unconciliable indeed. Therefore, the only thing you need is knowledge. Then, you realize that what you perceive is not true because of its temporal nature. From this point of view, go and embrace only Truth, Good, Beauty and the Eternal.

You stand between two voices, which one do you listen to?

Problem:

You are alone - You are sick - You have no job - You are broke - You don't have the promotion you derserve - You have lost a dear one - You are homeless - You feel stuck - You experience a feeling of injustice, etc.

Solution: apply to your problem the knowledge you have about Who You Are.

Interpretations:

1) First, know that it is not You, having these problems, but your ego. Problems are of the ego, not of You. Miracles however are of You through the Holy Spirit. Look therefore at the miracles, not the problems.

2) Second, Who you are is powerful, limitless and far beyond any form of problem.

3) The truth is that, because you listen to your ego, it wants you to believe that You are what it is, which is WRONG!

4) You are forever safe in the Almighty God, you Father. Nothing in the entire universe can hurt you. Never!

5) You are eternally blessed, loved and loving.

6) Both problem and solution come together. One is the grievance the ego makes you have when you listen to it, the other is the miracle behind, when you listen to the Holy spirit's voice.

7) You don't see the big picture, due to your limited sight. That's why you must have faith and trust in the Holy Spirit.

8) You stand at the middle of two influences, the Holy spirit and the ego. One is very noisy and quick to speak. You generally listen to it as it uses your limited physical senses to convince you of the truth about what you perceive, but which is far from reality. This entity is the ego. The other, known as the Holy Spirit, is very soft and infinitly patient and loving. He waits patiently and lovingly until you turn to His side to listen to Him. He is never tired of waiting for you. Whenever you want and decide to listen, He is ready to speeak to you. Never angry at you, never resentful, He will never abandon you because of your stupidity. Never. He knows who you are and He understands your difficult dilemma.

9) When man is in order, so becomes the world.

10) God loves you eternally.

11) "They that be with us are more than they that be with them".

12) You should let it sink, as it wants you to be assimilated to it

13) Notice the blessing in everything, big and small...

For a certain level of consciousness, certain experiences

Every living creature in this universe is intended to grow and evolve. Creatures of vegetable and animal kingdoms do it well, naturally and easily. Think of a tree, for example. Starting from a small seed , growing consistently moment to moment is its main task, until it becomes mature and produce fruits which later, will nourish other creatures.

Another good example is the butterfly. Its small egg develops to give birth to a caterpillar which, later also, will be transformed into a beautiful and colored butterfly. In these two examples, the process is operated with the great wisdom of the Infinite Intelligence that created worlds, without any slightest resistance.

The seed, in essence, "knows"what its final goal is: to be mature and produce fruits. Same thing for the egg, whose final goal is to achieve its full potential in the form of a butterfly, and become free, before spending time all day long, flying leisurely and joyously from one plant to another.

In their process of evolution, these two creatures do not worry, even for a moment, about how and when they will attain their mature state or respective goals. Never. They just keep growing and evolving in total abandonment to the infinite wisdom of the universe. They do not either get anxious or feared about the future, but instead, trust unconditionally the universe and its laws for everything.

That is the big difference between human beings and other creatures. Human beings live in doubts, worries, anxieties, frustrations and fears, while other creatures evolve in total confidence and unquestionned faith in the Infinite Intelligence that created them.

This attitude from human beings is pure nonsense. How hell can simple creatures like them have doubts about their creator? How could this be? Maybe human beings don't recognize God as their creator, and assume they created themselves as they are. Or, because they cannot perceive God directly, ideas about His infinite wisdom and powers seem too imaginary and, therefore, not credible.

This attitude is nothing else than a denial of God, their own source. They seem to have no other choice, but only count on their own forces. However, in times of difficulty, they get lost and feel desperate.

Why that? Why separate ourselves from our source by denying it, to be exposed to unnecessary sufferings in our life ?

The truth is, very often this attitude is not intentional. Something, call it ego or whatever name you give it, is standing between us and our creator. This thing prevents us from living in complete trust and confidence with our divine nature. It's the source of all our troubles and sufferings, and we can be free only by removing this impostor once and for all from our life.

Now, learning from example being one of the best known methods for acquiring knowledge, what lessons do we get from the seed and the egg?

Lesson1: As already discussed, the first lesson to learn is total, unconditional trust and faith in God, the Infinite Intelligence that knows and can everything. Because perceiving the all picture about your life, He knows exactly what is good for you or not, despite all appearances.

Your frustration and resentment for not getting something else, added to your strong will and persistance to obtain it, are only reactions from your limited ego. You cannot pretend, with such attitude, to trust God. On the contrary, it is a sign of pride on your part, meaning you know better than God about what is good for you.

Lesson2: It is patience and endurance ! My friend, do you know how to have everything you want? Do you know the secret for having all that you heart is longing for? Be patient. That's the secret.

If you look at your life now, you'll notice that many of the things you had desired in the past are already present in your life. Sometimes for years. You don't even remember having badly been craving for them. Today, they seem to have less importance. Because now, you are wanting something else that, one day, will also be yours, until it loses its value.

In life, many "obstacles" or "tests" may come your way, do not resist them. They are of great service to you, even when this seems difficult to accept at first. Don't complain and try to escape or run away from them.

Sometimes, problems persist because in your mind, you are not clear. It is as if your mind was troubled like troubled water. In this case, instead of resisting, just be still and wait. You will get clear, and in this clarity lies the truth.

The main intention of seemingly problems is to make you stronger than you now are. Therefore, be still and face them courageously. Let go of your ego completely and surrender to the Infininite Intelligence of All That Is to handle the situation, whatever it is. God's power wants to be expressed through you. Be open and release it.

Be no One ! The seed, for example, "knows" how to do it. When there is lack of water during the dry season, and not even a single drop of water can be found, can you imagine the seed complaining and crying all day long in front of its adversity? Never. The seed remains still and confident. It experiences calmly the permanent alternation of life's phenomenons, the "yin" and the "yang".

Lesson3: It is total abandonment to the infinite wisdom of the Infinite Intelligence. While faith and trust imply total confidence in God in achieving our goals, abandonment enables to completely let go and let God. In this state, you are carefree about details and outcomes. You know what you want, but don't care about whether or not you will get it. The result for you is the same. Because God's choice is already yours, and you accept it thanfully and joyfully.

Human beings are too attached to outcomes. Always wanting to achieve final results almost overnight, by transcending the natural laws of growhth and evolution. And when some delays are experienced in manifesting their desires, they get frustrated and mad.

Again, can you imagine the seed behaving this way for not producing fruits instantaneously? Or the egg, for not flying overnight? Only human beings do that! They cannot understand and accept that until they grow and evolve up to a certain level of consciousness, they are not yet ready for certain experiences. This would defy the natural laws of the universe.

Lesson4: It is about consciously living and accepting fully the present moment, without expectations. The seed or the egg do not care about whether they will achieve their respective goal or not.

Will the egg grow and be tranformed into a caterpillar that will one day become a beautiful butterfly? Noboby know. Maybe it will be eaten by another insect or animal. Will the seed grow and evolve to a big tree providing fruits to people and animals? Nobody knows. But the seed doesn't care about what will happen to its life the next moment.

The only thing that matters for both the egg and the seed is where their focus is NOW, and, moment to moment, evolve towards their goal. The question you, as human being, must ask yourself over and over and moment to moment, is this :

"Is what I am thinking, feeling and doing in this moment in harmony with my main goal in life, which is to grow and evolve to high levels of consciousness"? If the answer is no, correct the the course of your thoughts, feelings and actions immediatly, and align them with your life purpose. To be successful, do this inquiry many times a day.

Lesson5: It relates to the consciousness of perfection behind every step of our process of evolution. When growing or evolving to higher levels of consciousness, no step in the journey is more important than another. All are interdependent and perfect in their stage and at their time. Without the egg, no caterpillar; and no caterpillar, no butterfly. The same truth applies to the seed and the tree.

That means, every step in life is whole in its nature and perfect as it is. Applying to human beings, this truth can bring great relief to the resistance they have in their day-to-day life. In fact, they rarely accept fully their current point in life. Always, wanting to be somewhere "else" or have something "better". They never agree with their now, specially when some of its aspects are not as they would prefer.

For example, if they want a better car, a better home or a better job, they see the one they have as imperfect. If they are on the dole or single, they see their condition as imperfect. They judge it negatively. But you know what? This attitude is what maintains things as such, without any improvement.

Human beings have decided in advance that what they desire is "better" than what they have now. Therefore, they live with too much expectations for future changes in their life. Forgetting that where they are now is a necessary step to get where they want to be, and even when they get there, they will still be moving forwards, but always in their wholeness.

Have in mind that only perfection is, has always been and will ever be, despite all appearances. Our true nature, and the nature of everything, is perfect. For this reason, when God looks at you, the only thing He sees like in a mirror, is: perfection. That's all. If the reflected image was different, God would not be perfect. Because what we perceive is only the reflection of what we are. As God is perfect, He can only see perfection.

Refuse to be attached to outcomes or live with expectations for the future. That will release you from useless resistance and sufferings. Know that your life is already perfect the way it is, now. Nothing is missing to you in this very moment. Nothing is missing to an egg, nor to a caterpillar. Even the butterfly is still evolving by giving birth to new eggs.

Only your ego always tries to convince you of the contrary. Unfortunately, you let it win most of the time. But, if you had already a certain level of consciousness, this truth would be more clear to you. You are already perfect exactly where you are.

Another truth to remember is that this process has no end. As someone said: "you will never get it done". You will never reach a point where you will be said: "stop". Your life is an infinite journey in which every single step is whole and complete in itself.

Lesson6: It is about your ultimate goal in life, and also the ultimate goal of every creature and everything in existence : unconditional service. Whatever the conscious level you may achieve, it is intended to help and serve others.

But, the main point here is that, this service must be unconditional. Look at the nature, and you will agree that everything serves unconditionally. The fruit tree, the sun, the rain, etc. All of them serve the universe without reserve or condition.

Some people, even at an advanced stage of their life, always consider themselves as small seed. They always want to be served by others and keep willing to take, over and over, not realizing that time has already come for them to give in return.

They even don't wonder why, despite all their attempts to get more, they can no longer receive as they wish. The thing is, when a container is already full of water, it cannot take more of it. Make rooms in yourself by giving out something good to others, whatever it is. Then, they will be filled by good things also.

Stop for a moment and analyse yourself. Do you think you are already mature? If your answer is yes, then start giving more, instead of asking. There are so many things you can give, I assure you. Money and stuff aren't the only things to give.

What about your good will, your love, your kindness, your work, your smile, your help or support, your encouragement, your compliment, your time, your devotion, your advice, etc. Anybody can give something, no matter what.

To go even farther, know that the only thing we do in life in: giving!

Yes. It's the only thing we do, moment to moment all day long. But, we do it unconsciously. Our thoughts, feelings, emotions and deeds are sent out constanly in the form of energy and vibrations, which bring back to us corresponding experiences. Therefore, why not chosing by ourselves what we decide to send out?

Unconditional living is one of the keys to happiness. This way, you live without expectations from anybody or anything. You become totally whole in yourself and totally free. Your life does no longer depend on external events and circumatances.

With an unconditional life, you decide to live the way you wish. That is, you are happy for nothing, you are abundant for nothing, you give for nothing, you are kind for nothing, you love for nothing, etc. In a word, you live for nothing. No expections in return!

All these lessons, in fact, apply to every creature, and only human beings are not able to live in total obedience to their creator, due to the interferences of their egos. These interferences are what jams and retards the normal process of their evolution.

Ego creates doubts, worries, anxieties, frustrations and fears in human beings. For this reason, they must always pay attention to what is happening in their mind, moment to moment, so that when noticed, these negativities are automatically rejected and thrown away.
