The Creation of our New World!


Much has been discussed about the form of existence that our collective consciousness is attempting to create. Some have referred to it as the 2012 shift towards ascension, some have referred to it as global climate change, others yet have referred to it as the removal of the vail of ignorance towards Truth.
Are we not accepting our true nature here on this planet? Are we rejecting the great plan of existence put forward by the Greatest Composer of the greatest score ever written, the Universe?

Interesting questions to say the least! The assertion that the human mind/consciousness, is in a constant flux of change, reflecting the temporal state of our world, is the premiss of those who believe in evolution of the species. The assertion that all items within our existence, are exactly as they are supposed to be because the Great Creator of the universe willed it so, is the premiss of most religious thought.
The assertion that all existence represents the unfolding of Spirit within the form of matter, is perhaps more in line with what is transpiring here within our globe.

The immensity of what we refer to as Spirit, I would submit, is well beyond our current level of comprehension. It's not that we are not willing to imbibe this immensity, its just perhaps were not really ready to, as a collective consciousness! Yes, there are pockets of unity on this thought, yet what is predominantly reflected within our collective agreement of consciousness as the human species and all subspecies, is conflict, opposition to, measurement, exclusivity, and at times the illusion of sheer domination, or the illusion of power over others.

We, as this reflected agreement of consciousness, are all here in this form to experience our Spirit, as ONE! Now, I do not mean as an individual, yet as One Voice, One Spirit, One Light! The dilemma lies in the fact that we individually, represent the division of this ONE into the many! How can this notion be reconciled in the making of our new world?

We do have a natural ability to connect with this One Spirit, as all water tends to gravitate to its larger origin, yet it takes work. I also believe it takes a great deal of acceptance on our part individually, for what is happening within our world, as well as our personal lives. What I truly imply here is, that we must firstly take full responsibility for what is already, and then for what has been, already! It is interesting how the human psyche very quickly rejects items which are displeasing, either to the eye, ear, mouth, touch, smell, or taste. The human psyche is more inclined to gravitate to that which makes it feel good. I often wonder wether this very mechanism within our psychology, removes our inclination to actually take responsibility for all that is being created, right here, right now, within the present breath, the present moment?

We can only change that which we accept, not that which we ignore!

In the creation of this supposed new world, do we actually mean that all species found within this container, will function differently? For instance, will there be the removal of carnivores, ( implying the removal of one life, in order to feed and nurture another life), therefore the removal of all species which require meat to survive? Or more precisely, does this imply that the concept of predator would be eliminated right across the board of all species, including insects?

What would this newly created world look like for its inhabitants, all of its inhabitants? It is difficult to say what lies ahead for this wonderful globe, and all that pertains to it, including the human species.

I for one believe, we ought to all stop being prophets, and really work on being more present. Accepting everything around us, including war and conflict. It is the only way we will change the state of affairs, today, right now!

Let tomorrow show us the results of our change, which was planted today. Perhaps we'll actually see that we do not need to create a new world, just to be more in synch with this ONE!

The Truth About Psychic Ability/Development!



    
  
  It has become increasingly interesting, as well as, disturbing to me, as to how many people have jumped onto the band wagon, and yearn so adamantly to connect with their 'Guides', their 'Angels', their 'Teachers', connect with Ascended Masters, or to learn how to channel, all through psychic development perhaps. The notion being of course, that all such items are supposedly meant to enlighten, appease, or give the semblance of assistance to the wounded souls of our world. 
  
   Let's look at the word psychic! It's derivative comes from the Greek word psyche, which was intended to denote the idea of that which gives life to the body. This element, breath, which gives us the proper essence to exist. The Romans later gave the meaning of anima (soul) to this word to denote the mind/body relationship, or more to the point, the soul/body relationship. These are the original meanings of the word psyche. From this derivative, comes the word psychic. Our current understanding has brought us to accept this word as to imply: the claim of an ability to perceive information  above and beyond the five senses normally used to perceive. An ability which can also be used to influence one's reality through telekinesis. In the last century or so, the word psyche has also been linked to the word psychology, which we have come to understand as the study of the mind self, as it relates to its inner and outer realities. 

   Clearly one can see how somehow, the original intent of the word psyche, has been transformed into something entirely different. To be psychic does not imply power, nor does it imply enlightenment! To connect with one's 'Guides', or Angels per-say, does not bring enlightenment either. The ability to channel gives no promise of attunement with the One Spirit referred to as God! We are missing the point! It is a rare occasion when I hear of people wanting so desperately to connect with their OWN Spirit, and making every effort to know themselves! 
Even with the ability to be a Medium, there is an immense amount of inner cultivation which needs to occur! If this inner cultivation is not adhered to, then one creates an illusion, which simply ends up hurting themselves, and others. This is what is so disturbing! 

  What I am suggesting here is, to all those wishing for a connection of sorts, cultivate your OWN SPIRIT through the gifts you've been given. If psychic ability is perceived as one of your inner gifts, then it is to be used for the higher good of all, and should be seriously cultivated for that reason, over many years. This implies one will take proper time to go within! If after one has done their due diligence of inner work, and then has an experience of a Guide, a Teacher, an Angel, a supposed Master, pursue to cultivate a relationship which fosters growth of the inner kind, growth of the Soul Self. This is why they in the Spirit world, wish to connect with us, to break through the vail of ignorance, which is created by the illusions of the ego mind! They certainly do not care about how accurate one is psychically, or how powerful one perceives themselves to be, as a result of a connection with them!

  I for one would rather here the experience of a soul here in the physical world, who has weathered the storms within their lives, and have had tremendous inner growth as a result. This is an example of Spirit sharing with Spirit. As they share their experience from their heart, I am positive that we will all feel the wisdom of Spirit, the One Spirit! 

  Therefore, in your development, look for the development of your soul, and not the development of your psychic ability, which is perhaps an extremely small aspect of the entire perspective of the Soul Self. This journey of the Soul Self, is not meant to be easy! Perhaps as you do this, you may even become enlightened: "the advancement of your Spirit towards total LIGHT & LOVE".

The True Heros of our World!

    Early this morning after changing our son's diaper, and making sure he was well fed, I sat in front of the TV just trying to wake up, as our son frolicked around. Much to my surprise, I found myself interested in a program on MTV call 4Real. Not really knowing why, other than perhaps the description of the program suggested that it would be taking a look at a gentlemen who was affecting real change in Liberia, following its long bout of civil conflict, which lasted approximately 14 years. 

This man was attempting to bring to light the plight of the children who suffered the torment of war. These children endured mutilation, homelessness, starvation, the loss of family members, psychological torture, killings, the witnessing of the killing of family members, shear utter fear to the point that these children were asked to kill their own friends; surely you get the point. No child should ever under any circumstances, have to be exposed to such brutality!

The program also brought to light the challenge of those, such as this particular man, who are attempting to bring change to this societal agreement. These children, despite now being much older, still carry with them the diabolic experiences of war that they witnessed or partook in, which on some level implies there is the potential for these children to re-enact the atrocities, unless they are properly counseled, unless they are shown that there is another way!  
   
   Having said this, I am positive that this example of the experience of these children, can also be used as an example for other worn torn areas. What struck me the most, was the exuberance of these children as they were being interviewed. As they shared their horrific experiences, the utter joy of simply being on camera, could light up a city at night with the amount of light coming from their smiles. Despite what these children experienced here within our collective accumulation of light, this light that we like to refer to as humanity, their Spirit continued to exude its true essence: Light!

   Survival of the fittest, as Darwin submitted to the world, is the reason we as the human species continue to exist. These children are not only survivors, yet they are true Heros of Spirit. Nothing phases them any more. Perhaps their lesson of the exuberance of  Light, in-spite of  how brutal humanity can be, is what all of us, as the manifestation of Spirit within the physical world, ought to be focusing on. They certainly are wonderful teachers of Light, wonderful examples of the embodiment of Love!

  This is where our attention ought to be, to follow their example of the exuberance of Light. To manifest this brilliance, no matter what, and perhaps focus less on the manifesting of our next motor vehicle!

What Would Peace on Earth Look Like?


    


 Interesting how the collective consciousness of the globe, wishes so adamantly for peace! What would it look like if we had peace here on earth? Would it be like a flower which blooms; or like a waterfall leading to a stream; like the sun setting in the evening after a clear, blue sky, sunny day; or like the wind traveling through the ether giving off a gentle breeze; or like the caress of a spring rain shower? 

Wait a minute, that already exists!

Perhaps it may even look like two species found within the hierarchy of the food chain, who normally would be at odds with each other as hunter & hunted, now just roaming along as if they were the best of mates.
What would peace within our globe look like, if the one species who really does not coexist symbiotically with its surroundings, no longer was in conflict with its surroundings? That species would undoubtedly be the Human Species, would it not? 
Recorded history denotes constant battles of self destruction of this one species, man against man, woman against woman, man and woman against state, and so on. Perhaps conflict, is a reflection of the consciousness of our species working itself out towards peace. Or perhaps the overall agreement of awareness here within our globe is such that conflict, or opposition to, must exist in order for there to be genuine growth, and this would in itself be peace. Interesting!

    The universe is in a state of constant expansion. Every time we breathe the universe is different. Expansion indicates that a previous state of existence must be altered to make way for yet another state of existence. Each time it rains, it snows, or when the sun shines, nature is evolving in its usual own peaceful way. Each time a bird dies, another is born, this is representative of the cosmic balance of life. This holds true for every species of existence here within our globe including the plant & vegetation species. The new born bird eventually takes flight, off into the sunset chirping its happy song, looking simply to survive. It sounds peaceful to me!!!

    I believe for the human species, peace on earth, really means to be in accordance with its own kind, to be one with its surroundings, and therefore to be in balance with its own nature. I'm not sure that we can all agree on this topic of peace. To remove all idioms of thought which foster the notion of less or more, might be a pretty good start towards the balance of peace. Knowing how one functions (nature) is directly related to why one functions (purpose), and therefore directly related to ones' place within the ocean of life (acceptance).  

   Ghandi is remembered by many things, one of which is his notion of, "be the peace your looking for", which in his case, made the revolt against oppression in a non-violent manner, very  possible. So, is it possible for one who is born at the bottom of the totem pole within society, global or regional, to have, and to be at peace, therefore not in conflict with Self or others? Perhaps peace might be better defined as acceptance, or non attachment to outcome of survival. Lofty notions, I am sure, yet attainable! 

   Onward we go towards our collective quest for 'Peace on Earth'. Knowing fully, that we as the human species have animalistic qualities, which imprint the notion of survival within our consciousness, should also tell us, that as we attempt to survive, there will be conflict, strife, opposition to, less or more, the notion of those with power versus those who are powerless. 
I truly do wish that these idioms of life, did not exist within our precious globe, yet they do. Perhaps one day, we'll stumble upon yet another way to survive, that is devoid of all these things! 
So, we must continue towards the balance of nature, our true nature, the balance of the Spirit existing within the physical vehicle of expression in all its modalities. Maybe one day, we will all have and hold peace within our being, accepting, without attachment, and therefore exuding this peace willingly, and of course Lovingly, as is meant to be!!

The Grace of God!

In all that transpires within our physical covering, there is a constant echo, which calls us to its place of peace, joy, harmony, and of course Love. This echo, reverberates our entire being and is meant to give us all that we require to exist. What a wonderful gift! What I refer to is the Grace of God! This essence moves our Spirit to know itself, and to know all that is of the One Spirit. 

This Grace is always found within the present breath, within the present moment. It is inside of us, and outside all around us! Yet how is it the we search for a light or a beacon which may appease our wounded heart, when this is what we believe we require? Why is it that we focus on events gone by, in the hope that we understand our lives? Or, why is it that we spend so much time looking to the future for the semblance of a better way of life? 

We as a community of like minded souls, manifest ourselves here in this configuration of micro-organisms, to have an experience of physical life, and to share our understanding of this eternal Grace. Yet how are we  doing this, when there is so much strife, calamity, anger, greed, and fear, in our understanding or agreement of consciousness, here on earth. How can I focus on a life changing experience which is supposed to happen in 2012, or any other time in the future, when there are infants dying right now as I write this blog? They do not need to die! They die just because they are born in a part of our globe which is perhaps under-developed. 

One can argue that this might be a prime example of Darwin's theory of survival of the fittest. But is it really that, or just ignorance on the whole of humanity? By the same token, how can I divert my focus away from the fact that innocent souls, children are sold into prostitution? Are we meant to ignore this very fact of our reality, and focus on predictions made by people hundreds of years ago telling us of a shift, premised with global changes? Is it not our duty as an expression of this Grace, to reach out right now to those in need, as we live and breath?

The Grace of God reaches all of us as we breath, within every moment, yet if we ignore this Grace, we are left with our agreement, with our imperfections, with our concepts or less or more, with our greed, our anger & fear, our wars, our sheer deception of ourselves.

There must be a better way? 

This Grace speaks to us, and lets us all know, all creeds, races, religions, societies, all walks of life, that LOVE is the key! Faith and trust in this LOVE is paramount to eternal life, to the survival of our species within the environment of the temporal world. This Grace caresses our souls into the place of LOVE, through our Faith, our Trust in this Love, and through the good deeds that exude from this faith & trust. 

There are so many examples of those individuals within Human history, that went on through their faith & trust in this Grace, to accomplish  wonderful deeds of Love, despite all the obstacles other humans placed before them. To give onto yourself and others, this eternal Grace, is the truest expression of Love. 

When each individual soul that has manifested here within this global matrix of life, is able to feel this Grace, be this Grace, and exude this Grace, without expectation, attachment, or projection of outcome, within the present moment of the present breath, then we as an agreement of life, would have accomplished the greatest shift of all, the shift of our alignment of consciousness towards the Grace of God, PURE LOVE!

Focus on this, and search no more, be it NOW, and all will be well throughout your life, no matter what happens, or does not happen! I believe this to be the better approach!

Manifestation - Inner Gifts!

Much has been talked about and bantered around regarding the concept of Manifestation. It seems to me that, we as a society, as a collection or agreement of thought creation, need to take another look at what we really mean, when we use the term Manifestation. Over the last few years, there have been certain scientific documentaries stipulating that the big hush, hush secret is out of the bag, and we really have been getting it wrong, or we have not fully understood who we are here on this globe. A sort of affirming of the notion that we can change our stars, if you will, that all is well within our framework of comprehension, to alter the very way things come about in our world... through thought of course. 

It must be said that scientific research continues to assist us as the Human Species, and all surrounding sub-species, in the evolution of thought towards a more Spirit based existence. Yet, I believe that much of the secrets being exposed, are just small advances in our overall understanding of Spirit having a physical experience here on earth, and that there really are no secrets at all. 

To manifest that which is within the carrier of the physical body, requires one's absolute commitment to being in the physical body, getting to know that Spirit, and fully realizing the gifts that have been bestowed upon that soul. This takes time! After-all, we are not meant to, "say the word and it shall be done", .... pouf .... I've manifested! If that were the case, the notion of involution and then evolution, would be out the window, nothing to really learn as we are here in the physical world, we would just be an assortment of really talented Magicians. I am not sure that is the plan!!!! 

Manifestation of one's inner gifts requires patience! Patience enough to acknowledge the gifts given within one's soul, and patience enough to believe in those gifts to cultivate them fully. I am always reminded of JK Rowland, and her struggles as she attempted to bring forward her volumes of a Magician, nonetheless. It is said that it took her approximately 17 years to accomplish and complete the entire series of books. I am sure it took commitment, faith, devotion, patience, tolerance, belief in what she was doing, despite being rejected numerous times in the beginning stages, and mostly, it took an immense amount of perseverance. 

I am also reminded of people such as Don Bosco from the 1850's, who believed he would open an oratory for boys, street kids that society discarded. It took many attempts over many years and many obstacles to accomplish this tremendously gracious deed. In the end it certainly was his perseverance that lead the way. I am sure his strength of faith did not hurt him either.

Manifestation is no secret, it is our right as Spirit, our right as the image of the Great Creator we refer to as God. Yet, as we do Manifest, our inner selves, our inner gifts, within the continuum of thought of this temporal, space and time existence, let us not forget that we are here for a lifetime of experience. So take it one day at time, one breath at a time, stay focused, continue to cultivate your inner being, and always know that no matter what transpires within your earthly body, you are greatly Loved!

Manifest your inner being, try not to be a magician, and remember to be within your Presents!

The Understanding of God!


This phrase, 'Pray to the God of your understanding,'  is one that is commonly used within the Spiritualist community. I suppose it is not unlike the Catholic or Christian community suggesting to its participants that one pray to Jesus (God of their understanding), or any saint, or Angel for that matter. Similarly, it would not be unlike the Hindu community asking its participants to pray to the deities Ganesha or Vishnu ( God(s) of their understanding) for that matter. The God figure of the Spiritualists, is often referred to as Father, sometimes Father/Mother, depending on the agreement of the specific community. 

Perhaps this concept of praying to the God of one's understanding, was intended to free the Spirit from the shackles of dogma, found within mainstream religions. Or perhaps it was simply a way of allowing the aspirant of Spirit to engage further within themselves to discover more about God. Or perhaps they just could not decide.

It is fascinating to see how any specific religion, has adapted to the understanding of its agreements of God, some of these agreements being thousands of years old. Is God good or bad? Is God to be feared or Loved? Is God to be worshiped or brought into one's heart? Is God submission therefore freedom, or controlling therefore insecure? Is God to be trusted, or is God to be watched over with a close eye?   All these questions can be answered I suppose, through one's experience of life here on earth, and this in turn would represent ones' understanding. To seek for truth in all that transpires within one's life, is the quest of understanding of this concept known to us as God, in the hope that we have a more complete or unified  view of the Oneness.

So if a little girl is abducted, tortured, and then murdered, would this in turn represent the understanding of God, from the perspective of the transgressor, the little girl, or both? In the complex of the give and take of energy, within the Oneness of life, oddly enough, it would have to be both. A difficult concept to get ones' head around. Perhaps the silver lining in all of this would be, that God would be there for both these individuals, for different reasons of course, yet nonetheless, still there for both. In this case, is one less deserving of God's attention than the other, are they equal, does God judge and condemn one, and then give salvation to another?

Once again difficult to really say, it would of course depend on one's understanding of what God is and therefore implies. In one of the writings found within my book, 'A Journey With The Total Self,' entitled 'I Am here, I Am with you,' it speaks of the equality of the Spirit, despite the action of the ego. All are held, kept, and Loved within the bosom of the Great One Spirit, known as God. This is, I suppose, the place of true and authentic Love, not to judge or condemn, yet to give of Love no matter what!

So if in turn this transgressor, while incarcerated, turns to God in his/her healing of self, and then through the grace of the Oneness, God, he/she is used as a catalyst in the  discovering of the cure to cancer for instance, does this exempt him/her from serving time for the crime committed, will we perceive this individual differently? Would our understanding of God have allowed for change, growth, or perhaps remained stagnate?

The path to the understanding of Love, or God for that matter, is steeped in riddles and or mysteries, which are intended to incite the soul to go beyond their present understanding. To reach the true understanding of what so many religions have attempted to package in rituals, in dogma, in ceremonies of worship, in principles, is perhaps one of the greatest tests of time for the Human Species, to understand God as it relates to ones' existence here on earth.

Suffice to say, I believe that we as the Human Species,  would rather have an understanding of God as a  benevolent source of joy , as opposed to a vindictive, an eye for an eye, kind of God that judges and condemns if not adhered to.  Many names, many faces, and many attributes, yet none of it really pertains, what a dilemma! If only we could be just like ....... Ourselves, being the Spirit of God, the Spirit of authentic Love, what a wonderful notion!
 
Onward we go, towards the ultimate in life, the understanding of GOD!!!

Slowly, slowly, for after-all, we've got time, we are eternal, as is our understanding of  GOD!!
