In giving readings I see the way the person's potential is expressed through impulses to do things, desires--sometime secret. Often there is a reluctance to give credence to those promptings, a mistrust of their presence. Yet, it's the way a person becomes actualizes her potential and fulfills her life purpose.
And today I read this in A Seth Book, the Personal Sessions, Book 3, page 337: "You live through desire, and behind all desire there is love--love of being what you are, and love of being part of the fabric of existence that you know." This encapsulates the spectrum of being: the desire in the moment connected to the fundamental energy of All That Is: love. Finally my little book is available as an audio book and there is a bonus! The Affirmations that appear at the end of the book are set to beautiful music by Thaddeus and with the lovely voice of Melanie Avalon.
You can also purchase the Affirmations separately. The Affirmations quickly bring you to bliss and center of truth. Very powerful! Humans are explorers because they are a facet of God, and God is an explorer. The basic nature of God or All That Is is creativity, expansion, unfoldment. As humans, we have this same attribute. Exploring new horizons gives us the opportunity to know ourselves in a bigger, deeper way. It evolves us. Change, evolution our necessary for our survival. Given the current events on our planet a new frontier is a good solution to our current problems. It can bring into perspective who we are as humans here on earth, unite us in a common, worthy, exciting goal. Mars One offers this opportunity by creating a mission to Mars with the intention to create a human settlement. Here is what the founders have to say. The Untethered Soul: Twelve-Step Guide to Spiritual Awakening Posted: 08/04/2012 9:41 amPublished on Huffington Post.
"Spirituality is meant to bring about harmony and peace. But the diversity of our philosophies, beliefs, concepts and views about spiritual matters often leads to confusion or even conflict. The fact is that the very act of seeking spiritual freedom causes notions of success and failure, and these notions serve only to bind us to our own self judgments: Am I growing? Have I done anything wrong? Am I meditating enough? Truth is only complicated because we pass it through our habitual thought patterns. When we step back from ourselves, truth becomes simple. There are not many paths to freedom, there is only one. In the end, no matter what particular patterns of thought we have managed to build in our minds, freedom always means transcending these personal thought patterns. But how does one go about transcending the personal self and awakening to spiritual freedom? What is needed for this journey are succinct steps that are so universal that they can echo through the halls of any religion as well as support intellectual understanding. The following is a universal road map to Self Realization. 1. Realize that you are in there. You must first come to realize that you are in there. From deep inside, you are experiencing this world. You are experiencing your physical body, your thoughts, and your emotions. You are conscious and you are experiencing what it is like to be human. 2. Realize that you are not okay in there. Look to see what's going on inside. If you want to understand why you've done everything you have ever done, if you want to see what's really going on, just observe your mind and emotions--just experience your inner state. If you objectively look, you will see that you are never completely at peace. You will see that you are not okay in there. 3. Realize that you're always trying to be okay. At any point when you look at the state of your inner being, you will see that something is bothering you. You will then notice that this causes urges, drives, and impulses to do something about it. You will find yourself constantly trying to either get something or avoid something. All of this is done in an attempt to be okay. 4. Realize that your mind has taken on the job of figuring out how everything needs to be for you to be okay. If you watch, you will see that your mind is always telling you what you should and should not do, what others should and should not do, and how things should and should not be. All of this is the mind's attempt to first create a conceptual model of what would make you okay, and then try to get the outside world to match it. 5. Realize that the process of defining how the outside needs to be is not going to make you okay. You must seriously look at this process of trying to be okay. You've been at it your entire life--you've just tried different things at different times. While it's true that sometimes you manage to make it better for short periods of time, you know that you've never even come close to reaching a state of permanent peace. Watch very closely how you react to the things your mind has preferences about. You will see that if your mind gets what it wants, you feel joy; if it doesn't get what it wants, you feel disturbance. Likewise, when your mind experiences what it doesn't want, you feel disturbance, and when it avoids what it doesn't want, you feel relief. You will never be okay playing this game because the world will never match the conceptual model your mind has made up. Eventually, you will come to see that struggling to be okay does not work. At some point, you will try to find a different way to be okay in there. 6. Learn to not participate in the mind's struggle to be okay. This step is about learning to sit in the witness, the part of you that notices the inner urges to be okay. You must become comfortable with sitting in there and not participating in the inner energies. You learn to relax in the midst of them. You come to see that there is a habitual process in which the moment you feel inner disturbance, you are drawn into doing something about it. You must learn to sit inside and not participate in this process. If you truly understand that going outside to try to be okay inside doesn't work, then you'll be willing to sit inside and simply allow the disturbance to pass through. It is not difficult. If you can do this, all disturbance will cease by itself. 7. Learn to go about your life just like everyone else, except that nothing you do is for the purpose of trying to be okay. If you aren't so preoccupied with trying to be okay, you will be free to sit inside and quietly love, serve, and honor whatever naturally unfolds in front of you. When you reach this point, you are no longer living for yourself. You are interacting with life, but not for the purpose of being okay. 8. As you sincerely let go of the inner energies you are watching, you begin to feel a deeper energy come in from behind. Up to this point, everything you were watching inside was in front of you. But now that you are no longer being drawn into those personal energies, you'll realize that your inner universe is actually very expansive. You will begin to feel Spirit flow in from behind. It lifts you and brings you great love and joy. 9. Your inner experience becomes so beautiful that you fall in love with the energy itself, and you develop a very deep and personal relationship with it. It will become completely clear to you that there is an absolute trade-off between your personal energies and the amount of Spirit that you feel. The more you get drawn into your personal energies, the less Spirit you feel. The more you don't participate in your personal energies, the more Spirit you feel. You now have a direct relationship with the spiritual energy, and you will find yourself constantly longing to experience it. 10. You begin to feel the energy pulling you up into it, and your entire path becomes letting go of yourself in order to merge. Will is no longer needed. Now your path is strictly about releasing yourself into the pull of the higher energy. You must surrender deeply enough to be able to overcome the fear of losing your connection to the personal self. You must to be willing to die to be reborn. 11. Once you get far enough back into the energy, you realize that your personal life can go on without you, leaving you free to become immersed in Spirit. This is the greatest miracle: You've surrendered and your entire life is about Spirit, yet people, places, and things continue to interact with you. The difference is that these interactions require none of your energy. They happen naturally, by themselves, leaving you at peace and absorbed in Spirit. 12. Now you are truly okay and nothing inside or outside of you can cause disturbance--you have come to peace with it all. Because you are now completely okay, you don't need anything. Things just are what they are. At this point, you know yourself as Self. The world, mind, and heart cannot disturb you. You've transcended them all. What is more, instead of feeling drawn into Spirit, you now actually experience yourself as Spirit. You have no boundaries in time or space. You have always existed and you will always exist. You have no form, shape, gender, or body. You simply are, have always been, and will always be--Infinite Spirit." This is so exciting! We've beginning to live "science fiction." The first phase candidate selection is complete, and we're on to the next phase. Read more about this project on Mars One website: http://www.mars-one.com
When you're in God, you have everything; you unfold that which is right there to unfold in the context of eternity and infinity.
Sends you on a mind warp, doesn't it? But this are the exact words that came to me as I woke up the other day. Often I get messages from within that are along these lines.
What does it mean? I've been contemplating this myself. It's about the fact that there is nothing outside of God/All That Is/The Great Universal Being. This means that All That Is, as an eternal being simply is. At the same time, its creations (that would be us), are eternal. By extension, everything that we are here on the physical, that we create, that we experience, is eternal. Nothing is lost. It continues to exist forever in the Great Universal Being and as the Great Universal Being. I love how this makes me feel. I am sure there are lots of names in different spiritual traditions for this transformation I am about to describe, and the way I've seen it, I'd say it's the birth of spirit into matter with the personality being aware of the process; being aware of the new person they have become.
In my experience, it is very rare to, in daily life, or in sessions with clients, come across someone who is undergoing this major transformation. I always experience it as the most sacred of events. The person's soul has deemed it the right time and the personality ready. In my view, this is the highest honor to be placed on a human personality. Then the soul, divine self, inner self--whatever name you want to call that aspect of us that is the divine--takes over. It molds you, shapes you, works you. The way I've experienced it is being metal in a flame being beaten into the right shape. It's the extreme and totally unfamiliar. We're used to things happening to us from the outside, and when suddenly we are being worked from the inside with our free will making not a one iota of difference, we are stunned. What is happening to us? Yup, you're in the hands of the divine shaping you to be who you really are: spirit expressing in matter. Never again will you just be a human. You will forever more remember who you really are: divine. You get to consciously co-create with the magnificent All That Is, a partner in Truth. It is the most awe-inspiring, most sacred of events. And I've just seen a client in the middle of this transformation. What a privilege it is to be witness to this transformation. I am so grateful. This is the direction in which humanity is evolving. To see it literally happening is astounding. Hurrah! |
