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

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?

How to love God?

How to love God?

This question sounds like the one related to how to be happy? And for me, in the question also lies the answer. That is, you love God by loving God, just as you are happy by being happy. Period. Both love and happiness are one and of the same nature.

A few questions arising here are the followings:  Who or What is God? And what does it mean to love God?

Who or What is God?

It is said that God is the ultimate Source of everything, and His love for us is unconditional and eternal. Personally, I believe it strongly. However, in order to understand Who or what is God, we must first know what He is not. In a word, God is not what we perceive with our physical senses, but the spirit, the essence of it. Therefore, in order to love God, we shouldn't invest too much on the things manifested, which are merely idols, but on their Source.

What does it mean to love God?

Knowing that God's love and blessings never stops and flows to us eternally, to love God then logically becomes to answer to His love for us in return, in the same way it is given to us. That is, we must give thanks to God incessantly, non-stop, and abundantly, in order to express our gratitude and thankfulness to Him.

God's love flows to us abundantly and eternally. Answer by incessantly returning to Him your gratitude and thankfulness every moment of the day, and in every circumstance. That is one way you love God in return.

You are not your feelings or emotions

Most of the time, if not always, we are sort of possessed by our emotions or feelings. We identify ourselves with them and our behaviour becomes their reflection. So, when fear or worry come, we are fear or worry, and react accordingly.

The truth is, we are not our emotions. They just pop up as they wish, without our permission and there is nothing to do about it. But, as they cause us suffering or discomfort, we generally attempt to resist or suppress them .

But, this does not work, because we don't have the power to suppress our emotions. And as we resist them, they persist. Our emotions have their own life, not dependant of our will. What to do then to get out of their influence to us? How to deal with them so that we don't suffer anymore and be free?

First, don't try to resist your emotions. Because as you know it, what you resist persist. Second, realize that your emotions are not your ennemies, but messengers with something special to reveal you, if you listen. As long as you haven't got the message, they will keep poping up, endlessly.

For your awareness, know that the main message your emotions of fear, worry, anxiety or frustration bring you is this:

You are in danger, or threatened by something that has the power to harm you!

That is the main message of your emotions, coming from the subconscious. But, is it true?

No!

Why?

Just because, you are not there. Who you are is not the body. You are spirit, living safely in God, where your real home is. So, nothing whatsoever can ever threaten you!

Therefore, when your emotions pop up, welcome them as you'd do with a good friend of yours that bring you an important message. Then, after listening to them quietly, reassure them kindly and lovingly that you are safe in God. No danger or threat. There is nothing to fear or worry about, and that all is well.

Remember, the only person you have to control or master is yourself, not people, events or circumstances. They just pop up as they wish, and emotions related to them bubble up almost instantly.

What you have to control then, is your reaction. That is all that matters, and nothing else. You cannot have control over people, events and circumstances. Accept everything with unconditional love, without resistance, just because what is, is.

You don't have to follow the course of events or circumstances. Just be still, let them be, observe them as they come and go without any atachment. That is, let anger be, let worry be, let anxiety be, let fear be. Lovingly listen to them and reassure them, before releasing them.

As you may realize, all the process of life is about you and your relationships with everything else including people, events, circumstances and all the emotions and feelings generated from them. That's what is called life.

You are not stuck, but just learning...

Life is a big school, in which all of us learn and evolve; without exception. But, until you learn the lessons of a specific class, you would not be able to move to the next. Sometimes, you would learn faster in one class than in another, and move rapidely to the next. Other times, you would stay in the same, for so long that you would feel stuck, so that time would seem interminable to you.

All this would depend on the lessons to learn, as well as on your willingness and readiness to learn and understand them. According to me, the more you would spend time in a specific class, the more valuable your lessons and your improvement would be.

Whatever the situation you are in, remember that you are learning and then, be willing to take what is there for you. There is always something to grasp; always. And very often, you cannot see it because you spend most of your time resisting your current circumstances. Instead of wondering why this happens to you, your question instead should be, what is there for you?

Doing so, relax yourself and and be still. Then, wait for the answer which, soon or later, will be revealed to you. This answer is always there, waiting four your willingness to find it. But, only your resistance prevents you from finding it.

It is only when you have learned the lessons put there for you that you would be able to move to the next class; but never before, and no matter how long it would take and how hard you would try.

That's why it's an error to believe you are blocked or stuck in any situation. This would create only more resistance and more frustration in you. Instead of that, say to yourself that you are learning a very important and valuable lesson for your evolution then, be truly willing to know and learn it. With this state of mind, you would achieve more release and, in time, chances are that what it is there for you as lessons would be revealed to you, and you would understand.

A fruit cannot fall from the branche by itself if it is not yet quite matured; remember that. Therefore, be patient and let time be your allie. One day, you would see clearly and be ready for the next lessons.

Also, in life, people think that because they live together in the place, they are the same, learning the same lessons. This is not true. Everyone of us is learning his own lessons in his own class for his own awareness and evolution. We have the same spirit or soul, but not the same awareness while still living in this world. That is why it is useless to try to live someone else's experiences, "good" or "bad".

Again, although being of the same Source, we are not the same in this world. That's why there has been a very little change among human beings for milleniums on this earth, dispsite all the spiritual knowledge they have been given by many masters.

People can read spiritual or self help books, listen to sermons in churches and synagogues as they like, but because their awareness is not in alignment with the too high level of knowledge given to them, they would probably fail to apply it and would just remain the same.

Of course, for some of them, the things they hear or read would sound very good and touch their soul. They would really love them and feel very anthousiastic about them; but this anthousiasm would not last. Because some time later, all this would vanish without benefiting them, for they were not ready yet for the knowledge presented to them.

You can verify it in our daily life. For example, take courses from university and teach them to sudents from primary school. Really, do you think they would get anything from them? I don't think so. Eventually, they would grasp a few words here and there, but it would be very difficult for them to get their full meaning.

The same thing could even apply to adults for disciplines completelly unknown to them, at the point that even when the message would be provided in their habitual language, they would also experience lots of difficulties to follow and get all the details of the message delivered to them.

In conclusion, resistance is useless in this world of learning we are in. Learning could be delayed, however escape from it is not possible. No jump or quantum leap are authorized by the laws that govern this universe.

The only solution is to face your life as it is, courageously, without resistance. Then, patiently and consistently, willing to learn all the lessons you have to learn, through people, events and circumstances, in order to achieve there, the awareness that will lead you to the next level of your learning.

Conviction about God's love

Question: Are you really convinced of God's love for you?

Answer: Yes, I think

Question: You think. But, are you truly convinced of that?

Answer: I don't know...

Question: Why don't you know?

Answer: Because it is beyond my understanding. I just can say yes or no, but without a firm conviction based on a personal experience.

Question: So, you need a personal experience?

Answer: I think it would help.

Question: I see. Tell me, have you ever been in a situation involving such experience? For example when you asked for something important and God answered?

Answer: Yes, many times. I asked God for my present job, and He answered. I had been threatened many times in this job and God protected me. I have been involved in many accidents and have always been safe. I live in perfect health and security with my family. In fact, it seems that God extends His protection on me every time and every circumstance.

Question: Good. Now, let's go back to our main question. Are you convinced that God loves you?

Answer: I know and believe that God loves me. And I ask God to help me to be convinced of this truth all the time.

Question: Why is it so difficult to be convinced of this truth?

Answer: One reason may be, because our mind is divided. We live between fear and love. If we could just live in love, our conviction would be strong. But we feel threatened all the time because we identify ourselves with our body. If we could forget our body and live completelly in spirit, may be things would be different. But as long as this body will be with us, the battle will remain also.

Question: I see. Now that you know it, can't you change your mind about it?

Answer: We try, but as I said, as long as we will live in this body, the battle will go on.

Question: This is something you are convinced of, instead of what you should.

Answer: I am sorry

Question: Don't mind. If you finally realized that your body is not real, either everything else that seems to threaten you, could this make any difference?

Answer: I think so.

Question: Good. From today, could you once and for all understand that nothing you perceive is real, no matter how it appears to you? And that who you really are is invulnerable?

Answer: I will try and do my best.

Question: Can you forgive the world for its nothingness, so that you are released from it?

Answer: With God's help

Question: Do you think you have got it?

Answer: I hope so. Thank you

Back home to our true reality

The spirit, which is who I really am, needs nothing. It does not need money or any other kind of stuff.

For all my attacks and judgements to "others" who in fact, are myself, I say “I am sorry, please forgive me, I love you, thank you”.

Thank you to myself for the feedback from which I am informed about what’s going on inside of me. This feedback is a blessing to me that helps me take action by forgiving myself through God’s strength, instead of resisting to what happens to me.

TO MYSELF

I am sorry for what ever I had done that seems to manifest as what I am experiencing now
Please forgive me for that
I love you, instead of resisting negatively
Thank you for your feedback, your unconditional forgiveness , and my eternal innocence

· Money: believing not having enough; or scarcity, is a judgement and an attack on myself
· My job: feeling stuck in my current grade is a judgement and attack on myself
· My son's performances in school: judging them poor is an attack on myself
· My wife: judging her school level poor is an attack on myself
· My brother: judging him mean is an attack on muself

WHY?

Simply because those people and circumstances do not exit as such. It’s me, and me alone, who show up as projections in them, asking for help, forgiveness and love from myself also in order to be free.

PRAYER

For everything that shows up in your life, say:

“Thank you father, for this BLESSING coming into my awareness, to help me know that something to get RELEASE from dwells inside of me; so that I may FORGIVE and be FORGIVEN. This is my ticket back to you, where my real HOME is.

As someone said: “keep your eyes on the ball”, meaning focus only to get back home, to God. Therefore along the path, just keep saying
THANK YOU LORD!

INNER CARE

If you could take care of our Inner as we do with the outer, our life would be far better than it is now.

Our negative reaction is an erroneous judgement and an attack on ourselves , the source, from which the feedback comes. How can you judge, you who don’t have a clue what exactly is going on inside of you?

Know that whatever you perceive is false. Therefore, judgement is not something you are not qualified to do. How can a blind talk about colors?

The wise thing to do in front of any situation, is to acknowledge that you don’t know what’s going on and, welcome it as it is, without any label on it. Instead see it as a blessing from God to help you find relief and your path to him through forgiveness.

Your only GOAL or REASON of being here is to USE the WORLD as a MEANS to go back HOME, or GOD.

Life is not about getting something here or change the world. But rather, use it as a device to remember your oneness with all that is and find your way back to God.

Therefore, if you can genuinely appreciate everything that shows up in your life, “good” or “bad”, and understand that it is through them that you get relief or total detachment from your illusions and find your path to God by forgiving, you would have finally got it.

Now, you live in total confusion, not knowing exactly what is “good” or “bad”, and most of the time taking one for another.

People like Benjamin Franklin understood it; that everything, everything, was a blessing, and served only one PURPOSE, which is help you to return back to your original state, as son of God.

BACK HOME

In the United States of America, particularly in New York where I am back from a workshop in UNDP. What what I have seen inspires me is this. Man came to earth for a certain reason, like a hunter or a fisherman who goes to the bush or the river for a certain length of time after which he finally returns back home to his family.

But, in this world in general, it seems that lot of people do not know why they are here, and behave as if their daily occupations are the finality of their journey on this planet.

It is as if they are from this world and spend all their time just for the purpose of making their life better with more money, nice homes, nice cars, prestige and consideration from others, etc.

People are so busy looking for all kind of stuff that they lose sight of the essential. You can do what you want to make your life better while still here on the earth, as the fisherman or the hunter do while in the bush . Nothing wrong with that.. But, it is not wise to focus all your energy and time on stuff for the improvement of one’s life.

The fisherman knows he went to the river to capture enough fish to nourish his family. He does not spend all his time building and improving shelters. Is he did, how could he nourish his family then when he returns home? He knows why he is here for.

But what, as human beings did we come here to do?

According to what is my deep belief now after coming into contact with teachings such as “A Course in Miracles” and “Ho’oponopono” (although a huge gap exists between them), I think that we are here for one reason, or one purpose. This purpose is to wake from our dream, meaning release ourselves from the illusions that seem to be our life, and find our way back to our true reality, or God. There is no other purpose in life than that.

The world we live in wants to keep us away from this objective by attaching us to our illusions that it is real and creating confusion in us. But when we start to see more clearly, instead of being the puppets and victims of this world, we realize that we have been cheated and remember who we are and what we came here to do.

Now, we can use the world in our advantage and set ourselves free. How? By no longer believing in it. And get relief through forgiveness and love. Know that you lose your power and believe in it anytime you react negatively like a victim. But once you decide to no longer give it reality, you get your power back. At this moment, no matter what happens, your only reaction is the one of forgiveness and love. On the other hand, attitudes such as anger, frustration, worry, anxiety or fear give reality and power to the world, attach yourself to it and make you slave.

Like the fisherman, we came for a purpose, but with the ultimate goal to get back home, no matter how long we stay. The difference is that we have forgotten the way back home, believing that we are from the world.

Our task therefore is to detach and release ourselves completely from this world, through forgiveness and love for everyone and everything. When it is done, we can find our way back home or God, “our ultimate reality” as stated by Adrian Cooper.

To me, forgiveness is the complete release you achieve through your total detachment from the shadows you now perceive as being your reality.

Oneness is heaven and separation is hell

Do you know what is the worst thing you could ever do to yourself? It's to separate yourself from yourself, which is all the rest. You are not only part of the whole, but also whole in your part. And when, in your thinking, feeling or doing, you separate yourself from anyone or anything, you feel discomfort.

This discomfort is an alarm, that can take many forms such as envy, jalousy,worry, anxiety, anger, fear, etc. When you feel it, that means you have already crossed the red zone.

You and everything else in existence form a unique field of energy or spiritual body. This field of energy is one and unique for all. Just like your current physical body is one for all its parts. That is, pain from your finger will pervade your entire body even though the other members are not directly affected.

The entire universe is your body, whatever the forms it may takes. Therefore, know that what you do to others, good or bad, comes back to you. There is only one spirit common to everything and everybody, had said someone. And another one added that only one person is in the room: you!
