THE ANSWER #3


I noticed (too late ) that I had included a good bit of last weeks reading in this section. Sorry!

“Where do I go when I die?”

Is pretty obvious here that references are made to reincarnation. I do not think this is necessarily the place to debate the issue. Let us just say that it is assumed by many spiritual writers that our process of learning does not stop once we have left our body behind.

For me, much of the weight of this question surrounds another question, “How attached or identified am I with my physical body?” We have stated often in the past that this work is not about denying the body because not only is it my chosen vehicle for our work here on earth, it can also be our teacher in many respects. So one of the huge lessons I can learn from this is that I have a body but I am not my body, I am more than that.

“Is this happening to everyone and how?”

If we were to take a step back from this work and simply observe ourselves and become aware of what it is we are desiring to achieve, we would be very much aware that we are all working towards aligning ourselves with the energy of positive transformation. Now since we are all One, every being participates in this process no matter how that might seen on the outside. Just for example, we are told to love our neighbor as ourselves. Now this is quite easy for some people in our lives, but for others it becomes more and more difficult. It becomes more and more difficult for us to let go of an obnoxious personality self. Somehow we want to hold onto that in order to be right, to be righteous. And so here is the challenge- to see through that difficult and distressing mask. Here is the kicker- there have been some souls, for whatever reason, who have taken on the job of being this very unlovable personality self, challenging us to see through the illusion. It is not for us to know all of the whys and wherefores. It is difficult enough for us to begin to understand our own earthly trip.

As a wise person once said, “What is in my way is my way.”  What is in my way is my lesson to be learned. Sometimes again and again and again.


“Does this mean the physical landscape will change?”
As our perception changes, so does the landscape change. So if I perceive the world as a jungle, as an ecological mess, then believe it or not that is that is what I am contributing to creating. You can apply that principle in many ways.

Now the perception of my five senses and my intellect is not always a choice, but it is a knowing, albeit a limited one. We have all found ourselves challenged with the idea or the question “How can I see the beauty in this; How can I see the love in this?” Obviously, that kind of looking goes beyond the perception of my mind and senses, and yet any deeper way it is much more true than any evidence my senses are giving me.


Peace.

PERHAPS I AM BEING VERY LAZY THIS WEEK, BUT i was touched by this lesson and how it approached the material in our Sunday class from a different direction. The Dynamics of Giving and Receiving from Ram Dass//Posted March 10, 2017 What yogis begin to do is to change their way of thinking in order to look at the universe differently. In order to do this, there is a period of time where they must pull back from the drama in order to be able to see it. It’s like a moratorium, it’s a time when you stand back, like you go on a vacation. It’s actually extremely hard work by the way, very exacting and very, very difficult work. Now when most of us think of yogis, we think of somebody sitting like a famous yogi, like Milarepa, sitting up in a cave in the mountains, cross-legged and naked. There was snow, and ants were eating him, and the only food he took was nettle soup, and he ate it for so long he developed a green nettle fur all over him. But he was busy freeing himself fr...

THE ANSWER 11 and DOMINION IN LOVE 1

This is just beautiful and says it all: “Why was I born? That is the next question. You were born to come into yourselves as knowing yourselves as loved, and as conscious active participants in your creation. You were born to stand in your knowing, to accept yourself as loved, and to see your fellows in their own perfection. You were born to create wonder, to live a life of splendor and of joy. You were created to come into your own knowing in the Son-ship of your own divinity and to claim it in full experience. You were born to say, “I am Word,” in whatever language you choose, in whatever vocabulary is truthful to you. You were chosen, you are choosing, all are. “I am Word through all that I see before me.” We are choosing you today to call to yourselves those things you need to move forward on this journey. Imagine yourself, right now, standing in a room. It is a gateway room. It is a room that leads you to a new room that has never been seen before, that has never bee...

DOMINION OF LOVE 5

A brief review of the past that is pertinent to the present.   “Paul is asking, “Where is the Christ in me? How do I identify this part of me that you speak of?” And we will tell you now. The Christ within you is a frequency that is aligned within the heart center and it glows like a flame and it brings to it that vibration and frequency that co-resonates with it. And that which it brings to co-resonance is the Creator. If you understand that your light is a piece of the great light, then you have the beginning of the understanding of your Christed Self. If you understand that this light, in its blooming, in its flame, in its action, is the action of the Christ within man, you have a deeper understanding. If you begin to understand that the action of this Christ, once and for all, is to become realized as man in completeness, then you have the mystery of the Christ revealed to you. And the mystery of the Christ, and how it shall be revealed, will be the causation of the action...
