'Protection' .. is there really such a thing, or is it just ... Perception????

Protection is defined as:
'a person or thing that prevents someone or something from suffering harm or injury'.

Perception is defined as: 'a way of regarding, understanding, or interpreting something'.

It seems to me, as I have dealt with the opening of myself, as well as, the acknowledging and accepting, of this gift of seeing, feeling, hearing, the essence we label Spirit, I have always heard the expression, 'Vincent, you must Protect yourself'.

Opening oneself, implies the removal of certain layers of consciousness, (perceptions) which act as barriers to the receptiveness of the unseen, unfelt, unheard; the heightening of ones sensibilities, being more vulnerable.
So, if I spend an immense amount of time, effort, and energy, over many years, attempting to be more receptive, more open, more vulnerable, reconciling my perceptions, why should I then revert my consciousness, to the position of prevention, or more precisely, closed again?

Openness further implies that I will, in my openness, experience and connect to all that is the expression of Spirit, for after-all this is why I decided to become more open, more receptive, more vulnerable to begin with, to allow for this expression or understanding.

As a Human, being, I will of course experience different items within my life, of the expression of Spirit. From these items I will create an approach to my life, or expression. Many of these items, which become stored within my unconscious mind, will govern how I think, feel, react, what I believe, as well as, how I engage, and or disengage, from my present breathe reality. We can refer to these mechanisms an perceptions.
In any given circumstance, our perceptions will act as a barrier and hinderance, to the openness of an experience, or will allow for further openness. We, as a conscious being, have the choice!

In dealing with heightened sensibilities, it is abundantly clear that one will feel, see, and hear more, than the perceived norm. Therefore, as one feels an energy which is uncomfortable, or perhaps unkind, evil for that matter, the knowingness within ones being, will suggest a proper route of action, or reaction. Some believe this action or reaction to be protection. Yet, the notion of Protection, is based entirely on the Perception, that one is unsafe, and therefore in jeopardy of being harmed.

Do evil, (that which is removed from goodness), expressions of the notion of Spirit exist? I would ask that question to Emily Rose, and she would have her particular response. I can also pose this question to Mother Teresa, and I assure you, her response will differ. Both people, being equal in the openness of experience, will have an entirely different belief system created. Their experience would be real, and authentic, to them. This is the BALANCE of existence.

Protection vs. Perception, the challenge of belief!
It is all based on the experience of the beholder, the perception one keeps, as well as, ones willingness to travel all aspects of their respective psyche without FEAR.

Fear Of The Profundity of the 'LIGHT'!!

For many years I have travelled the path of awareness, wishing for atonement, wishing for Oneness with the ALL of life, not really knowing where this desire would lead, nor how it would be achieved. Having a full acceptance of the notion that the Spirit of the Oneness within me, would eventually take over, and I would naturally follow without resistance. I say follow because it has become abundantly clear to me that manifestation of the Spirit of Oneness within me is immense, and never occurs when I am good and ready, only when it is ready to give, to unleash, to unravel, to divulge, to share, to become!

I always had, and still do, an aversion with the concept and practice of patience, and yet, this is exactly what one must do in order to prepare to receive, to accept, to acknowledge.
We are all on this network, to share our respective understanding of the connection to the discarnate intelligences that continue to impress upon our minds. To perhaps see a different vista of the mountain of LIGHT, the knowingness of the ALL.

It makes total sense to me that each of us, in our individuation of the ONE LIGHT, will express it differently through our supposed uniqueness and comprehension of this ONE LIGHT. Yet, it also occurs to me that as the Human Species, we represent a collective agreement of this ONE LIGHT, referred to as Love.
What catches our attention more, than this notion of LOVE. We are obsessed with the fantasy of it, the romanticizing of it, until we are involved in the deliberation of what TRUE LOVE is, referred to as Ultimate Truth!

We fear the unknown, we fear this Light of Love, because it is unknown to us in its totality. Perhaps the thoughts of another may challenge our perceptions, beliefs, our view, and yet this is still LOVE! How can we accept that there exists an unexplainable source, force, essence, state, feeling, thought, we refer to as God, to simplify things, that permeates the all of creation, and wishes simply to LOVE the Human Species? Not as a separate item from itself, yet as a return of LIGHT to itself. It accepts all thought creation as a form of its own expression, therefore will not judge, analyze, or criticize, it will simply LOVE!

The unknown is also represented in the different viewpoints, vistas, of this mountain of Light. This perhaps is how the Spirit of Oneness unfolds!
So let's honor the Light of say someone such as Mozart, despite this Light being well beyond our understanding. (Mozart died, and was buried in a poppers grave, not accepted by his piers. Today over 350 years later, he is the most performed classical composer).
Let's not fear the Love of those we deem to be more than us, or even less than us, different than us! Let us prepare patiently, through acceptance, acknowledgement, and open mindedness. As the Spirit of the Oneness unfolds unto itself, through the individuation of our supposed uniqueness, the depth of this ONE LIGHT (the depth of TRUE LOVE) may be beyond our grasp in the fleeting moments, and yet it continues to exist, to give and share LOVE!

This is what is meant to occur!

What it means to be Spirit!!

In all that is manifested within our agreement of consciousness, there exists a singular constant, a singular commonality, and a singular impetus. This constant, common thread, and impetus, has been given many different labels, based on the understanding of the group experiencing this magnificent Singularity.
We imbibe this Singularity in every breath of every moment, and it exudes from us as the the expression of the Human Species. Our collective understanding of this Singularity, as a species, has brought us to where we currently are, millions of years later.
This is what I like to refer to as the the working out of the omnipotent presence of all existence. Spirit, as it were, is the label we as a consciousness, have come to give, to all that is expressed within this working out of the omnipotent presence.
This Spirit is immense, all knowing, and never ending. To be Spirit is to be within this understanding, within this flow: without pretense, without agenda, and without dilemma. The knowing of the Spirit is far superior than the knowing of any material item we have here in the physical world.

So how is this done, to be Spirit?

To surrender: Slowly, patiently, with Love, with understanding, without the trappings of the desires of the ego-mind, without annoyance, and without an agenda. To see All, as this Spirit, as One Light, expressing Love!

Authenticity Of Expression! What we can achieve as we focus !!

I thought I would most humbly address this topic of the expression of what we refer to as Spirit.

The essence of what is contained within the physical body, through the vehicles of expression known as Soul, which further divides itself into the Mind Self, which holds the subsets of intellect, emotions, and of course the physical body.
The essence known to us as Spirit, is so immense that it requires several of these sort of divisions in order for us through our mammalian capabilities as the Human species, to comprehend.

Darwin, very succinctly demonstrated that within our understanding of the Human experience, there exist a hierarchical, evolutionary chain of more than, or less than. We as Humans believe ourselves to be more than, in rational, logical, linear thought, than our closest cousins the apes or chimpanzees, having approximately 96% identical DNA to us.

Having understood this simple premiss, I would suggest to you, that as anyone wishes to engage in that which is of discarnate intelligence, Spirit, they should really focus on getting to understand their own Spirit, through the afore mentioned divisions, instead of attempting to get in touch with the expression of Spirit outside their own container.
Having an experience of Spirit begins with your own Spirit, this would imply authenticity of expression!!!!!

When focusing on Spirit outside yourself, know that your consciousness (awareness) acts as a filter through ones perceptions. So the more open you are, the more aware you become, the less time you will spend on items of existence which are less than.
Focus intently on the higher intelligences available to you, through proper cultivation of your own Soul Self, authentic expression.

As one who is constantly lecturing, writing, composing music, doing gallery work, and teaching, for the world of the discarnate, known as the non-physical Spirit world, these are the concepts being brought forward to initiate ones' own Light. For after-all no one is responsible for that Light other than you!!!!

About Consciousness, and all that is experienced as ANGELS!

I thought I would humbly add to the discussion, of our ongoing experience of energy, we like to refer to as, Angelic.

Firstly, let me suggest that we must not ever loose sight of the fact, that we as the Human species, and all the surrounding sub-species, represent an individuation of the omnipotent presence known as God, or the Spirit of God.
Therefore, we as Spirit, engage in the experience of physicalness through the five senses. The central hard-drive, if you will, is the brain, which interprets our experience, stores the memories of the experiences, and then recalls these memories as is necessary. We also believe in the eternal existence of the omnipotent presence, the Oneness of life, we label God.

Our experience of the five senses governed by our brain, is engaged in through the filter of the mammalian approach to life, which we clearly understand has its potential, as well as, its limitations. Yet, it also implies that our understanding of God, or Spirit, or anything else for that matter, if you will, comes from this very same mammalian filter. This means, we will know God through this potential or limitation. Do also keep in mind, that because we believe God to be eternal, we will never really get to know the totality of the expression known as God, it is constant and ongoing.

So, I premiss with all of this to suggest that, our understanding of the energy labeled Angelic, will have this same potential, as well as, limitation. It is often suggested to me, by those who work with me, through me, and for me, as teachers, that the Human Species' comprehension of the totality of life within the cosmic expanse, is still in its infantile stage, despite having millions of years of evolution behind us.

I firmly believe, that in order for us, as Humans to authentically experience, Love, Peace, Harmony, or even the Angelic realm, we must surrender to the notion of NOT THIS, NOT THAT, to begin to understand.

Lastly, I leave you with this thought, 'how do you know you are being Loved?'; you just know, because you feel it, and you can never really put into words the totality of what you feel. I would suggest, the same holds true for the Angelic realm; just know it, feel it, exude it, without trying to label, define, or categorize it. After-all, the understanding remains a mammalian concept!!!!

The 'Illusion' of the Spiritual Path!!!!

It astounds me as to how many people believe that one day, all of a sudden, poof, "I'm a spiritual being now because I've just come into my 'Spiritual Path'". To these individuals I'd like to ask what they were before this epiphany?
The reason I post this blog, is to give all persons the message, LOUDLY, that we are SPIRIT, having a physical experience, not the other way around! This therefore implies, that all aspects of our experience here in the physical world, are Spiritual ones. Do not think that one who travels the path of the Spirit, for the Spirit, and with the Spirit, is continually engulfed in bliss, this is an illusion!
I am sure if we were to ask Ghandi, wether his path was continually full of enlightened bliss, he would tell us this is not the case. Our physicality presents us with tremendous challenges, which are meant to allow us to grow, in this temporal existence. Surely, one's state of mind, focused intently on positivity, would help the process, and give the individual strength, yet it will not remove them from what must be experienced!

We represent an accumulation of thought particles, which formulates the projected self, it creates the form within matter, of our bodies. We then further represent electro, magnetic, bio-chemical energy, held within this vast container, the globe, earth, comprised of billions upon billions of micro organism. All that transpires within this globe is affected by and with the omnipotent Spirit we call GOD, and, affected by the individuation of this Spirit, we call, You & Me!

Therefore, ALL is SPIRITUAL, if we mean, energy which reflects our
Godly nature!

How can we get away from the notion that Spirituality begins within one's life, just because of one isolated event, taken out of context, and highlighted. Is not easier to see that, the major event, was when you or me, we, took breath to have an experience here in this container, referred to as the Earth. Perhaps it would be more precise to refer to the epiphany as an opening of awareness, and not the beginning of the preverbal path, as it were.

I trust this notion will unsettle some travelers of this wonderful journey we call life here on Earth, yet this is not the intent of this posting. It is more to suggest that we as a consciousness, ought to return to the notion, of who and what we REALLY are, who and what we ALWAYS were:

SPIRIT!

Golden Chains of Spirituality..or is it still Religiosity?

It seems to me that for centuries, millennia for that matter, there has been an immense amount of rhetoric suggested, as to what it implies to be on a Spiritual path, journey, and or passage. Systems of atonement were created to denote these journeys, paths, or passages, referred to as religion. Most of these religions have adapted each others' ideologies to perhaps win over potential followers.

The term religion, taken from its latin derivative is: 're - leggier', which means to reunite or to join again. You have three mainstream religions originating from a certain region of the globe, that have influenced Spiritual thought for centuries in the Western world. In conjunction, we have two other mainstream religions, which have influenced Spiritual thought in the Eastern world, for centuries.
Most religions have icons which symbolize a particular person, place, event, circumstance, or lesson to be taught. The icons were meant to uplift, encourage, heal, and give strength to the upholders of the particular organization (religion) putting forth these icons. These religious icons were almost always expressed through the various art forms. So we'll have paintings, drawings, statues, music, dance, poetry, architecture, and so on.
All of these monumental expressions of art, also reflected the understanding of 're-uniting', atonement, of the time and people they were expressed. Many of these artistic expressions also depicted individuals practicing certain rituals, which demonstrated the reverence of the particular God(s) the organization was worshipping.

In the New Dawn of Spirituality, which is meant to relinquish the patterns of the old ways, embracing a radical approach, a diverse understanding, an evolved understanding, of the omnipotent essence labeled God, how much has actually changed??
I continue to witness wonderful drawings of 'Angels' (borrowed iconic concept from the ancient religions), wonderful paintings of rituals, historic religious figures, music, statues, all within this New Dawn of Spirituality.

I have been a full-time Lecturer within the Spiritualist community in Ontario, Canada, now for several years, and I assure you much has changed, and YET.... much has NOT!

These ideologies of Spirituality, which borrow from previous understandings of how to connect with Spirit ( re-leggier= religion) are GOLDEN CHAINS of enlightenment, or more precisely, a hinderance to ones' atonement with Spirit. One feels a sense of arrival when communication with an Angel guide, teacher, or Master is attained.
Yet, as is always suggested to me from those who work with, through, and for me as Teachers, "Vincent, ... you must destroy your understanding of Us, God, Spirit, mother, father, and so on .... Then...You are FREE to experience your SPIRT, as is meant for you to experience". Lastly, I encourage all practioners of the work of Spirit, to challenge themselves to break away from the 'Golden Chains'!
I trust that, what is referred to as your indwelling Spirit, has understood fully what I have attempted to communicate here, in a few short sentences.

Process Determines Purpose!

Does one awaken one morning and say to themselves, "I think I will share a message that I believe is bestowed upon me from God", or, "I think I can be of service and help those who I believe and perceive to be in need"?

Interesting premiss, to say the least! I most humbly post this writing to suggest to all of us who believe we have a mission, message, desire, willingness, or even gravitation, to be of service, that these mechanisms are still functions of the ego mind, despite what one might believe.
The story of those we see and deem, as enlightened ones, clearly suggests to us, that the process of life was there greatest teacher, and that the purpose of their existence was singular. This singular purpose was to have an experience of the Spirit of the Oneness within themselves, to have a relationship with their understanding of God. From this relationship came forward their unique purpose.

If we look at the story of Francis of Assisi, who gave us a most wonderful expression in, 'Make Me a Channel of Your Peace', we see that his purpose was not to be a soldier for war, which is what he was, but more a soldier for the Peace of God. His life represents a reflection of involution, and then evolution.

If we are to take the example of Ghandi, we would most definitely see this same process of involution, and then evolution of purpose. From being a well trained lawyer, to peacefully fighting for the rights of his fellow country men and women, because of the Spirit within him unfolded to this position.

If we are to look at the example of the Christ, referred to as Jesus, or Siddhartha Gautama, known to us as the Buddha, both became the Prince of Spiritual thought within their time, not because of a predetermined notion within their being, yet more because of the quest of the inner self to re-attune with itself, Spirit unfolding onto itself!

If we are to look at the example of Saul of Taurus, from persecutor to fore father of Spiritual thought within a particular community, who gave us the prayer, "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself.... and so on.

Lastly, If we are to look at the example of the Albanian girl Agnes, who later changed her name to Teresa, and then Mother Teresa, in homage of the patron saint of missionaries, Saint Therese de Lisieux, we would find another example of the concept of involution, and then evolution of divine purpose.

Each of these examples demonstrates a singular desire, and that is to be with the Spirit of God, to cultivate a relationship with this burning fire within their being, to attempt to understand this Spirit, imbibe this Spirit, and to submit to this Spirit without agenda!

I clearly can go on and bring other analogies of individuals whose example we continue to emulate today.
In my quest to share the notion of One Light Guides All, I know that it is the Spirit of the Oneness within me, that has taken me here, despite my gravitation to simply be a musician and composer.
The divine purpose of my existence, what I will do with my life, is beyond my scope of comprehension, I therefore endeavor to surrender!
I therefore work on being with this Spirit of the Oneness, to feel Love, to give Love, and mostly to be of Love, the rest is not in my hands.
In doing so I trust that I will Manifest the greatest of good through the Process of my life, and not manifest the smallness of life, through the desires and beliefs of my character.
