Until You Truly Live In Spirit

Let’s suppose that in this moment

Something you have been longing

For quite such a great length of time

That you can’t even remember again

How long you have been praying for it
Finally happens and manifests today

 

Maybe you‘d fall down on your knees

Early in the morning following that day

In front of the main entry of your home

Your eyes and hands raised up to the sky

And all your senses filled with emotion

 

While at the same time giving thanks

To express appreciation and gratitude

To Father God and all your beloved ones

Now living in the invisible world of spirits

For their continuous care and support

And all their blessings poured on you

 

Combined with creative imagination

Genuine act of appreciation and gratitude

Must precede any degree of manifestation

And is by excellence the premium currency

Used to pay in advance whatever you want

If you are willing to get it fast and easily

And make all your dreams come true

 

It is the way to impress the subconscious

And convince it about the truth that is yours

Thus help you believe that you have received

Whatever you desire and want to manifest

By the frequent use of your imagination

 

It is also the way to seek first the Kingdom

Or the spiritual essence of everything in life

And make anything else be added onto you

By holding and rehearsing in your imagination

Vivid mental images of the ideal in view

 

Don’t wait until your desires materialize

In order to manifest your gratitude to God

True gratitude in fact precedes experience

And is all about the spiritual cause of things

Not their manifestation or the final result

 

Understand that truth or reality is spiritual

And their manifestations are merely effects

But until you completely change your mind

To have all your attention fully focused on it

Until you identify yourself with this spirit

And love it more than idols you’ve created

You’ll always feel separate and incomplete
And this is your greatest challenge on earth

Think about it and...
...Stay synchronized

Be proactive about everything and not reactive

The outer world we perceive externally
Including all thoughts, feelings and emotions
Is merely the effect of the inner world

You shoudn't therefore react to it
As something independant or separate
For being merely a projection
From your subconscious mind

Don't meet the outer as you perceive it
Or as you think or feel about it
But according to the truth you know about it

In this connection always remember
That this world with all its content is just a reflection
Of what you think or believe deeply to be true
From your subconscious level of existence
Although almost always far from reality

Each day meet the world proactively
According to what you know to be true
Instead of reacting  sponaneously
From uncontrolled thoughts and feelings
Popping up from you due unwanted events

Be proactive in life by constantly and consistently
Coming from love, appreciation, gratitude, joy, happiness,
forgiveness, and abundance inside of you
Despite whatever is perceived or felt
From the giant screen of the world.

Your Ultimate Success

You are already the perfect creation

You could had ever dreamed to be

In terms of beauty, happiness, peace,

Harmony, clarity, joy, power or whatever

 

Being inherent to you at the core

And as such part of your true nature

And who you really are as spiritual entity

None of these attributes is to be gained

However you keep asking yourself

If this is so why don’t I behave like that?

Why am I incapable of expressing this truth

And experiencing it also in my day to day life?

Why all these sufferings and feelings of uneasiness

Insecurity, discomfort, emptiness, scarcity

Weakness, desperation or separation

I keep experiencing over and over?

The reason you don’t behave like that

Is merely that you don’t behave like that

And if you don’t behave as you aught

It is because you don’t believe it is true

And you don’t believe it up to this moment

Since you aren’t convinced enough about it

And that is so on your subconscious level

Due to lack or insufficient conscious rehearsal

Of the same truth over and over and over again

Directed to the Christ super consciousness in you

Until this becomes as natural to you as breathing

And finally experienced spontaneously in your life

What you experience most of the time

As negative feelings, emotions or whatever

Are merely automatic, unevaluated reactions

Or unchecked feedbacks from the subconscious

Based on nothing true and therefore cannot be real

 However you make them so as you resist them   

Attempt by all means to change or suppress them

Instead of overlooking them to focus only on truth

Accepting them fully without any condition  

And letting them be just as they are

At the point you no longer even see them

But reality behind as sign of true forgiveness

Until their existence comes to its own end

Letting them fade away naturally when time comes

Just as it goes for everything and everyone of us

Truth is based on knowledge

About what and who you really are

But not on waves coming and going

Endlessly on the surface of your mind

At the deep bottom of which dwells reality

And where your attention must be focused

On a constant and consistent basis

If you are sincerely willing to see it

Once you understand that

And remain alert and vigilant  

About all the unchecked memories

Popping up from your subconscious mind

You would have made a huge step forward

Towards your final destination or your home

In time when you finally end up there  

You would have realized a state of mind

Of consciousness wholeness and oneness

That indeed is your ultimate and true success

 

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.

There is only one version of yourself

Most people do not like the kind of person they are at one point of their life. They always feel inferior or not enough worthy, compared to others around them that seem to be more blessed and more lucky than they are. And, doing so, they make themselves miserable their entire life.

The truth, however, is that they can only be but who they are right now, no more no less, and not who they would like to be. They don't understand that they are a specific version of God and no one, in the entire universe, can be comparable to them.

The point is that you are who you are, and you must accept and love yourself as well as your life just as it is, without condition.  And your life is about anything related to you, such as  your body, your wife, your children, your family and relatives, your friends, your colleagues, your job, your home, your car, your failures, your successes, your weaknesses, your strengths, etc.
Whatever is related to you is part of you, and has contributed to what you are in this moment. And, denying a part it is denying your entire being. Your wholeness then is about your present reality, and nothing can be missing to you. That is, if you loose one leg right now, you are still whole, even without that leg, because your wholeness is about who you are right now, and it is perfect.

From another point of view, if you consider yourself to be a spirit, and not a body, it is evident that whatever occurs to your body cannot affect your spirit which therefore remains whole forever. You see, the meaning of your life depends on the perspective from which you look at it, whatever may happen to you.

From today, the decision to give a positive meaning to the circumstances of your life belongs to you. And what was considered as "bad" before has now become the best thing that could happen to you. Are you ready to  accept this?

God's omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence as the key for living

Whenever you perceive a problem, a difficulty, or an obstacle in any situation, this is a perfect indicator that you are doing it wrong. That you are not going with the flow. But are swimming against the current. Also, that means you are not seeing, but just interpreting. Because real seeing is based on truth or reality, which in turn are the fruits of knowledge, while interpretion is an outcome of our limited physical senses.

Your interpretation of something is based on your unique limited point of view, depending on all your  past experiences and unconscious memories, your environment, your traditions, your culture, etc. All these parameters form the filter used by you, unconsciously, to interpret everything you perceive. That is, your conscious participation in this process is very weak, because of its automatic nature. In other words, most of the time it is taking place through you without  you knowing it, unless you become awake or conscious. 

Too become awake or conscious requires knowledge. The knowledge of Truth, or reality. Then, live according to it. But, what is truth? It is nothing else but God, which is the name that summerizes everything good; such as love, harmony, joy, happiness, kindness, abundance, wisdom, clarity, wholeness, oneness, kindness, peace, perfection, etc. 

As individuals, all of us we have our personal view about everything, that is different from one person to another, according to the perspective from which we are looking at the world; perspective strongly tied to our core values, which are byproducts of our past memories and experiences, as stated earlier.  

However, never will our personal perspective or point of view be true. Because it is too partial and, therefore, different and opposed to the whole. At the contrary, truth is wholeness, oneness and perfection. And, only perfection is, has always been, and will ever be, dispite the apparent turmoil of daily life.

What does that mean? Simply that nothing that you may perceive with your physical senses is as you see it. Because you perceive only from your partial perspective only. The fact is that you are blind, deaf and therefore, cannot really see.

For this reason, you cannot judge anything whatsoever. And because of that, the only thing you must do is giving whatever happens to God, Who holds the whole picture, and can see the truth for you. Taking into account God's omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence, ask Him to see for you, to hear for you, to speak for you, to do for you and, above all, to judge for you. Step aside, and let Him do for you what you cannot do for yourself.

Also, as you cannot judge, so can you not do anything either. Because only God, the Almighty, can do everything. For this reason, your part is only to surrender. The condition that irritates you does so just because of the lack of depth in your thinking. You are too superficial and always stops on the surface of things.

But, in case you cannot stop judging the world around you, do it the right way. That is, knowing that because of His Omnipresence, only God is and nothing else, start seeing Him everywhere, in every man and woman, as well as in every circumstance. That way, you judge righteously, according to the truth.

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.

Our invisible ropes

Do you know the story of the peasant, the ass and the invisible rope? Here is a brief summary:
A peasant were travelling from his village to town with his three ass to sell them. At nightfall, the town was still far and the peasant decided to have a rest.

As he was tying his ass to a tree near there for the night, he realized that only two ropes were available. He went then to ask for one more to a neighbor who, unfortunately, didn't have any either, but gave him the following advice:

"Return to your ass. Then, simulating as if you had a rope in your hands, tie it to the tree using the same gestures as you would with a real rope. Your ass will not move".

The peasant followed the advice given him by the neighbor and went to sleep. When he woke up in the morning, his first glance went straight to the tree where he left the third ass the day before. And, to his great amazement, the animal was still there.

"Good, it worked!", cried the peasant joyfully. But, when he tried to move the ass in order to continue his trip, he couldn't. The ass remained stuck at the same place. Not understanding what was happening, the peasant went back to his neighbor to tell him the story.

"Did you remove the rope?", asked his neighbor. "But, there is no rope at all. Remember, I just made a simulation yesterday". "For you, there is no rope. But for the ass there is one!", replied the man. The peasant returned to the ass, simulated this time to release the ass from the tree, and the animal could move at last.

That is the story. But, it is not a story as such. Because like the ass, all of us we are tied to invisible ropes as well, that prevent us from achieving our goals, and live freely the life we want. And, if we could look closely at ourselves, we would see many ropes or bad habits attached to us also.

This story, in fact, is a description of how harmful habits formed in the subconscious mind become our second nature and our truth . The good news, however, is that as they are formed, these habits can be removed also, just by using the same mechanism that created them.

You'd ask "how is that"?

It is known that the brain, or mind cannot make the difference between what is vividly imagined or simulated and the reality. That is, if you keep pretending or simulating the same thing for a certain period of time, this will become an habit and the subconscious mind will reproduce it in your life as a perceptible reality.

That is how it woks.

What you have and what you want are unreal

If you agree that you are not a body, and that your body is not real, so everything attached to your body it is not real either. What are the implications of this then?

They are many. But the main thing to bear in mind is that everything you perceive with your body does not exist and, therefore, cannot affect you. This includes all you see, hear, touch, taste and smell. None of them is real; none.

When you realize it, you come to the conclusion that the things you possess and those you desire are of the same nature; nothing.

So, you no longer crave for anything at all. Because whether you have something or not, the result is the same for you.

Everything that happens is for your highest good

Wanting to change a situation implies lack of love and understanding, which is translated by the level of resistance generated in us and by the willingness to escape from the thing that threatens us. But this resistance only gives more strength and reality to the situation, which is merely shadow and smoke, instead of making the deisired change happen .

Questions:

• Why would you resist something or a situation you know nothing about?
• If you believed that the unconditional love of God for you is true, that you are eternally blessed, safe and that everyhing that happens to you is for your highest good, would you resist them?
• If you knew that all your sufferings and miseries are only the result of your wrong judgements and appreciations of what is, would you keep judging and suffering anyway?

The fact is, you have no clue about whatever is happening to you. But one thing is true, everything that comes your way is for one reason. It is because God loves you, and everything happening to you is for your highest good. That's the premiss you must bear in mind whatever you may be confronted with.

Having this mind, what would you do instead of resisting?

• Forgiving yourself for judging and resisting what life has brought for you but seems disturb you.
• Blessing and loving the situation, whatever it is, realizing it is here only for your highest good
• Expressing gratitude to God for your safety and His unconditional love for you
• Relaxing totally, and giving Him all trust and faith for all the outcomes of your life
• There is much more you can do from this point, those being just some basic indications of where you can start from.

Be the spectator of your own game

Life is a game, or a big illusion that seems to be real, but which is not. And the fact is, if you consider it to be real, it will be so for you. You will become so involved and immersed in what you perceive that beleiving the contrary will seem almost impossible.

That's why you should not be too much involved in the game of life, and you become so when you take yourself too seriously. Once this happens you get trapped and remain blind about your true reality.

One way to escape from your immersion in the illusion of life is to become the observer, the spectator of your own life. That is you look at yourself from another perspective, as a separate entity, like a pectator of a football game.

Have you noticed how wide and perfect is the view of football spectators from the point they are watching the game? Why is that? The reason is because they are standing at a point away from the action and where they can see every error and mistake from players.

Do the same and see what happens.

God's love for you is infinite in all thing

Beyond any situation you seem to dislike, and into which you have been driven by life, there is a profound gift for you. You would not be able to realize it yet, because of your false perception of reality. Nevertheless, a true blessing is there, waiting for you.

How do I know?

Merely by the fact that God loves you more than you would ever love yourself. And, because of that, nothing that comes to you would be there for another reason, but for your highest good. You believe, or you don't; there is no other choice.

Therefore, trying to change a situation that seems to bother you or escape from it is a refusal of the gift of God's for you, His love, lying behind it. But, it is not about changing the situation or escape from it. In fact, it is about going beyond it, and believe in what your physical sense cannot perceive.

That is the only thing you have to do, and nothing else. Whatever the situation may be, don't attempt to change it. You know nothing about it. How then could you attempt to change something you don't know what the objective is.

Assume that only God knows the truth about it. And, because He loves you unconditionally, just BELIEVE that whatever comes your way is for your highest good. You are blind and deaf, thus you know nothing about anything. Accept it without any physical proof. All this occurs on the planes you cannot see, and it does not have to be shown.

The only one truth is that God, your Father loves you. Anything that happens to you comes because of that. Therefore, love everything in your life, because everything "good" or "bad" is a messenger of God's love for you, as well as behind everything you perceive is God's perfect love, waiting for you.

Be glad and happy for your Higher Self, which, in this very moment, is sharing and savouring this infinite love with His Father. At the same time, be gentle and kind with the limited one you know here as you.

God’s love for you is infinite in all things -Part 2

Trying to change a situation externally is a denial of your responsibility. Remember that what you perceive is just a reflection, like in a mirror, of what you are. But you have projected it outside in others, events and circumstances to make them responsible.

Others, events and circumstances are just symbols of your culpability born of your apparent separation with God. The good news is that this separation didn’t really occur. Ego, however, wants you to believe that it did. Don’t believe it. You are innocent, like all your brothers.

Nothing you perceive is as you see it. Everything is part of the dream and, therefore, not real. Even what seems “good” is as unreal as what seems “bad”.

Don’t fall in the trap of the ego which would want you believe that something in this world could be real because it seems “good” to you. Be vigilant and know that both the “good” and the “bad” are of the same nature and therefore unreal.

When you come to this point, you realize that it is useless in this world to be unhappy for not getting something in the place of another; both being unreal.

So, instead of resisting any situation and trying with all your will and strength to change it from outside, the best attitude would be this one:

1) Gratitude and appreciation to the world, this giant mirror, for:
- The feedback given to you, informing you of what’s going on inside of you and giving you the opportunity to forgive, in order to awake from the dream, be free and get back home.
- Knowing that this world is just a dream, separation with God didn’t really happen. Therefore, the culpability I am projecting outside cannot be justified because I am sinless, innocent and eternally holy.
2) Forgiveness of everything, “good” or “bad”, as long as I am projecting my culpability outside; and forgiveness of myself for doing it.
3) Awake from the dream and get back home: Be fully conscious of my true
Nature, and nothing else.

The world you perceive is your own

We all live in the same world, or the same universe, but our interpretaton of it is different and is what creates our reality. Two people cannot perceive and interpret something the same way. Because, there are as many people as worlds.

When you look at something, and make a negative judgment about it, this judgment becomes yourown reality. In fact, the all world is neutral and has no meaning at all, out of the one you give to it.

Judge not !

Your faculty to interpret your environment allows you to judge what you perceive, and your perception becomes a decision which, in turn, has authority and power on what is perceived to maintain it as such.

For example, when you look at your wallet or your bank account balance and notice that it is empty, the general tendency is to interpret this as you being broke. Right ? However, this is only a fact, and it is neutral. But, you are going to give it a meaning, which will become real to you, but not for other people.

Because, someone else will translate otherwise and give a different meaning, or a different interpretation to the same fact; such as "wow, there is now enough room in my wallet to keep all the money that is coming to me", etc.

You see, it's just a matter of giving a positive meaning to what you perceive, no matter what or how it appears to be.

Remember that only your translation and interpretation of what is perceived is what leads to judgment or decision, which in turn give a meaning which will then become your reality.
