Understanding Spiritual Development

, , , ...

To place human beings as superior on this planet to any other species, is to dismiss the wonderful creation as a whole. Everything was not created to bring superiority to the human condition.

Many plants and minerals are available for both human as well as animal benefits. There is a school of thought that for every disease we find, right next to it, we find the cure in nature. Using human consciousness to create we find that human beings are open to growth. This is the important aspect to be considered.

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: We are not a human being having a spiritual experience. We are a spiritual being having a human experience.

This sums up the spirituality inherent in human beings. We have it as a part of our very nature. We are body, mind, and spirit vibrating for the material existence on earth. When we quiet this material vibration we also find we have a finer level of being called spirit. And the mind can be a buzz of activity to allow it all to change and grow. For that, too, is human nature; to produce change and growth.

When we get so caught up in the material existence, we lose sight of the importance of the spirit within. We lost sight of the continuity of the spirit/soul following the death of the physical body. The physical body is designed and created to grow and age, and then decay when the spirit is removed.

Soul by definition is breath. When this breath of life is removed from the physical shell, no longer required for a material life, the physical body decays and the spirit carrying the soul goes into another vibration. If this vibration is available after the death of the physical body, it is also available while yet encased within the physical body.

To balance body, mind and spirit is a wonderful dance of energies that are in use by all aspects of human condition. To find this balance is to enhance all aspects. The material vibration for function on earth is obvious to us. The quieter spirit vibration eludes us until we make a concentrated effort to quiet the body and seek peace in the soul. As the mind governs all, it is available on all aspects for learning and growing.

When our life gets too caught up in the material pursuits - finding a job of work to support a lifestyle of quality, suplying a home for shelter for ourselves and our families, and putting food and clothes on our back - we can lose sight of the importance of the spirit within that is crying out for lessons of spirituality. Spirituality is enhanced within us by each and every lesson. So that even when we are caught up in material pursuits we can also know the moral, ethical and spiritual approaches that enhance our being. Lessons of life are learned at all levels of our being.

Change is the Only Constant in Life

Change is the only constant in life. From small ways to big, there is constant change. All life is about energy. And as it vibrates at its own source, there is change to the host body.

Small changes lead us to transform our lives. Nothing ever happens chaotically, there is order and design in our changes. Before we know what has happened, we have transformed our thinking, our actions and our being into a more productive, spiritual approach.

We are constantly shedding small cells as we renew and build up new ones. So even our bodies were designed to change and grow, without conscious thought. In the material vibration, this allows the body to renew itself and keep us in good health for a long and productive life.

In the mind, we are constantly thinking, dreaming, and envisioning a better, more productive life. We are never satisfied with our lives. Change of our mind means we pursue another experience to keep us living to the full. Our minds hold the potential and possibilities for so much more than we ever realize.

But it is the spirit that actually transforms our life. When the spirituality awakens and we realize there is so much more to life than our material vibration has indicated, the finer spirit vibration announces its presence. From within we find we can grow and be so much more than the body alone can accomplish in life's experiences.

The spirit responds to not only what we do but the how we do it of all experiences. We can live for ourselves and never consider the feelings or responses of others. Or we can see ourselves as a part of the wholeness of human existence, and consider the part each plays.

Shakespeare said: All the world is a stage and we are mere players doing our part. (paraphrased)

When we accomplish what we know is our part and others do not respond to us as we would expect we must realize that there is more than just a fault finding exercise. We must consider what we have done in our part to cause a negative reaction to our part.

Others, of course, have the same prerogative. To examine ones life is to find the path to our own spirituality amongst the wholeness of humanness.

And, of course, the spirit is the eternal part of our being. Our personal experiences that have formed and developed all that we are as a human being, continues after the change called death. Death only comes to the physical body. The spirit is set free to express in spiritual terms without any hold backs from material vibrations. The mind, of course, continues to be open to learn and grow through spiritual lessons in the afterlife.

How do we know this? Communication with an unseen world is not only possible, it is practiced as mediumship. We would have to consider what is the transformation of our being about? How does it benefit us? Our body in the material vibration holds us captive to all that the can be seen in the material vibration. Our spirit can soar beyond into spirit realms of more.

Negativity

, , , ...

Our world is changing ever so quickly these days. Those negative thoughts are coming home to roost ever so quickly in our affairs. So the more we blog and put out our negativity on others the more it is manifesting in our lives.

And then we wonder....why are all these things happening to me? The secret to a well lived life is to take personal responsibility and look to yourself.

If something isn't right in your life - change it. It can be done only by yourself. Oh yes, you can blame others and remain stuck in that negative space of she said/he said. But this is not solution. This is merely a blame game.

There is truly only ONE person responsible for ME and that is ME. Others may have opinions. And that is healthy and good. But to be 'stuck' in these opinions to the point of stalking another is rather negative and defeatest of a well lived life.

Move on to your own best good. And this can only be done when you are postive and progressive in your thinking as well as your actions.

The only person who suffers from gossip is the sender. They have created an ever decreasing circle of people who want to listen and who even see themselves as a worthwhile companion in life.

What is Easter to me?

, , , ...

On this beautiful Easter morning, the weather in my part of the world is sunny, but this past week several days were cold, windy, rainy and even a little snow. Just a smattering and it was blown away.

But it is beautiful all the same. We live where we do because we like the changing seasons. They bring renewal with every day.

Easter is new beginnings. We are so looking to see to the flowers bloom and the plants restore the greenery. We need nature to reflect our own soul as we bloom in our new approach to life and living.

We are nature. We sow seeds (thoughts) that are nurtured, watered, fertilized and blossom into our life as our opportunities and challenges. The more seeds we sow, the more potential this life can manifest.

As we renew in Spring, we also reflect on a time of quiet to prepare. The Spring will give the energy for the renewal of thoughts of growth and prosperity.

Easter (Spring) brings the warmth of the sun after a cold winter. It changes our hearts from being silent to thoughts of growth and love.

There are many traditions of Easter and its history. The important aspect is always that it is renewal. It is a renewal of our efforts to find and seek happiness and change in ourselves.

Deep within the human heart is the need to renew and refresh itself on a regular basis. It is the urge to growth and potential alive and well within the human heart. Easter gives us the OK to seek this happiness and live in love with one another yet another season.

Spirituality after 2012 - Where will you fit in?

It would appear that the closer we come to 2012 and all the doomsayers predictions, the more we are encountering the negativity of the darkness. Those in darkness are making a last ditch effort to retain their hold on the world through materialism.

Materialism has been the sway for centuries now and it is time to acknowledge our failures and move into a more productive approach. Why not choose spirituality?

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin: We are not a human being having a spiritual experience. We are a spiritual being having a human experience.

That experience includes a material vibration that needs to be addressed. We can dwell on materialism as our life focus or we can realize its place in the balance of all things. In the material energies we have educated ourselves, found a good career/job, formed a marriage relationship for a family life and even gained some prosperity. These are good starts to a full life. But have we lost touch with our spirituality?

In spirituality is the deeper longing for more in our life than things can offer. After all is said and done, we do not take our material wealth and things with us when we die. The body dies and we are left with the inner longings and growth. If we have some spirituality lessons in place, we are wealthy beyond measure. We take with us in spiritual life all that we have gained.

The work begins now. How prepared are you to see your life from a spiritual viewpoint? 2012 is not the end of life. It could be the end of it as we know it. Materialism is taking a beating.

2012

Synopsis of movie

According to the ancient Mayan Calendar we are living in the last days of a great cosmic cycle known as
the "Long Count". Traditionally this is labeled as the Death of the 4th period of the Sun and the Birth of the new 5th Sun. The Maya kept accurate and detailed records of Earth's past transitions, and the civilizations that experienced major adjustments in their collective realities. It's no coincidence that the majority of the indigenous traditions and world religions mark our phase of existence as one that harbors a radical adjustment in the perception of reality. This transition to a new era has become known as the "Shift of the Ages".

At this time light-workers are unifying, forming alliances and underground networks to assist the mainstream with this great human transition. One emissary of light is Don Alejandro Cirilo Perez Oxlaj, a 13th Generation Quiche Mayan High Priest. To the indigenous world he is known as "Wandering Wolf". Don Alejandro, in behalf of the Mayan Council of Indigenous Elders in Guatemala, has commissioned a film to be made to reveal visions, concepts, and subject matter previously concealed from the masses. According to Mayan prophecy, we have entered into a period when it is safe to release this information to the public.

The Ancient Ones left stories, glyphs and prophecies to be considered by each successive generation. "The Shift of the Ages" gives expression to the voice of the ancient ones who have known of this period of time for eons. "Wandering Wolf" and other indigenous elders are now sharing their message with the people of our planet. Hear their words, feel their hearts, and see their visions! Positive seeds are being sown for the future. The "Shift of the Ages" is a heart warming, soul inspiring, and mind blowing experience. Support the Shift!


What’s so special about the year 2012?

We entered the orb of influence of the Age of Aquarius in 1938, but since the constellations of Aquarius and Pisces overlap from our perspective, we have been operating under this dual influence since that time. In the year 2012 we will finally slip out from under the Piscean influence and be totally under the influence of Aquarius. This time is not an ending, nor is it a beginning, for the influence of the Age of Aquarius has already arrived – December of 1970.

The year 2012 is the final transition from the Pisces Age of Belief to the Aquarian Age of Knowledge, where "knowing for yourself from your own personal experience" will take precedence over "Believing" what we're told.

December 21, 2012 is the ending date on the Mayan Calendar. We will then come to the end of the Cycles of Darkness and move into the Cycles of Light. But instead of an ending, it is a time of great change. This will be a time when WE will learn to direct our own destiny. A time when “change” will be the accepted order of the day. That which does not change will be seen to be stagnate and less acceptable than that which does change repeatedly, or regularly, or continuously.

We stand on the thresh-hold of great changes for the nations and our way of life. Many will not be able to demonstrate such flexibility during the coming upheavals and changes in our climate that I feel are quickly approaching. Those who hear the call and prepare for the coming times ahead will make their journey more easily than will the rest. In 100 years our present way of life will be only a bad dream.

Consciousness is rising and we are moving into
* a new way of living: in harmony with Mother Nature, reducing, reusing and recycling.
* a new way of thinking: in harmony with our brothers and sisters, caring about others as we would our own family.
* a new way of feeling: in harmony with the guidance system of our greater intentions for this life, letting our feelings be our guide and always wanting to feeling good!

It's really quite exciting!

Most of those who are born at this time came here deliberately to help with this transition - though there are many who will not expose themselves to thoughts conducive to it. If you’re reading this, then you must be among those who want to know more.

Do YOU know how to listen? Are you hearing the call?

Have you seen the LIGHT? Has it finally dawned?
• Do you remember who you are?
• Do you know your mission?
• Do you understand why you came?

Do YOU know how to follow the Light?

It’s worth thinking about…

This article is in line with the ascension process that is so vital and obvious in our world today. We can be a part of the light or hang onto the darkness.

What is the Paranormal?

, , , ...

Paranormal merely means beyond what is the recognized normal. And we have to wonder, in this age of so many phenomena, just what is considered normal?

The mind can be balanced and still receive a thought that strongly motivates us. From where would this thought stem? How beneficial is it to our life's journey? What kind of a journey do we wish to pursue?

The mind is a tool we can train to positive thoughts into the subconscious for retrieving as positive thought in all our circumstances. That means that the thoughts we have are retrieved positive ideas for our lives. When a challenge arises, we can choose positive or negative mode. The measure of our being is the spiritual approach.

The mind is also the gateway to what is considered paranormal in operation. Through the tool of meditation we can access the spirit within that is open to so much more than the material approach to life. Even scientists are writing that the universe is no longer considered one great machine. But is more likely a cosmic dance of energies.

Considering that new knowledge is coming to us at an ever increasing rate, what is considered within the normal is coming into question more and more. To be paranormal (outside the normal) is now less unusual.

Natural Law

We have talked about and referenced natural law in so many things in life. All of a sudden our life takes a turn and we are surprised that it works so suscinctly in our life.

I have had quite a couple of years of abuse. I have tried to remain spiritual and rise above. Believe me it wasn't easy - ego tends to want to be justified in so many ways.

All I needed to do was wait for natural law. What goes around, comes around and it sure did!

While patience is not a virtue I subscribe to in my life, it sure can work for you when you are trying to keep from reacting to negativity from others. There was so many posts from others that discussed the nature of attacks from Psychic Vampires to just plain mean people that helped over the hump of my pain and sorrow.

Yes, sorrow. It is really sad to witness the actions of those you thought were friends and colleagues. They can turn on a dime when they have needs. Oh yes, these things come from their own needs. Sometimes those needs are greed and avarice, but they are needs at the time, all the same.

Jealousies usually rear their ugly heads when we refuse to remain grounded in spirituality.

I had an interesting discussion the other night with someone about the ego and how it seems to be so rampant on the negative in psychic and mediumship circles. We were wondering aloud why this was so evident. Spirit must have helped with this discussion because we began to understand.

When psychic abilities begin to surface, we want to share what we are capable of and this is a natural human trait. As we work with the spirit on these psychic talents and open more and more to others' expectations of our work, we find we are flattered and faited to the point of ego rising.

I do want to acknowledge that it takes the ego to aid our journey in demonstrating and doing public work. We can not and should not try to eliminate it. It has a role to play. Training and re-focusing the ego energy would serve us better.

When we realize and remain in the thought - it is the best gig in town - spirit does all the work, we get all the credit - we will remain balanced and give credit where due, despite our ego central thoughts.

Perhaps in acknowledging our personal responsibility in all situations (Shakespeare said: All the world is a stage and we are players with a part to play) we will learn to fulfill our own part and stop worrying about others' part to play? We can only hope so.

Reflections on Spirit Guides

, , , ...

Each of us has a guardian (some would call an angel) that comes into our consciousness and impresses us through our personal energies in the aura, and stays with us throughout our lives. As we grow and change, so also the approach of our guardian changes. But stay they do, throughout our lifetime.

The guardians are from a realm of spirit energy that is the afterlife of our lifetime living on earth. The realms of spirit are full of the past history of humankind in the form of our spirit that lives on and grows in a spiritual manner for eternal progress.

The spirit referred to in spirit guides is the realms from which we will receive guides for our life here on earth. They have lived a life on earth and know of the challenges and opportunities that a lifetime offers. They help us to be open to the many aspects of life from the mundane to the sublime.

They must be able to communicate with us and aid our journey by showing us the paths on our life that would bring the lessons we most need. They, too, will commune with us through our aura using all the five senses we use in material vibration and using them also in an unseen sensitivity we all have within our spirit.

To these senses on the sensitive or psychic level we add our intuition. This is the gut feelings we get about our existence. We may panic at danger or feel the warm fuzziness of our connection to others in our relationships. These impressions are our own feelings as well as the ones that our spirit guides can attune with in impressing us on our journey.

Anyone can communicate with these spirit entities that have forgone their own progression to aid the journey of others, as part of their service. That means that anyone can attune to their spirit within, or higher mind as some like to refer to it, in sensitivities. The more the individual listens, the more will come the impressions and answers we seek.

Yes, we have another worldly entity in our environment to show us the way. And yes, on the law of attraction, we can feel as though this is our own minds leading the way. Either way, it is an aid to the journey we call life.

Some general thoughts on spirit guides:

- our loved ones, past relatives, friends, etc. do not come as our guides. We have information of them and they have information of us that would preclude us trusting that we have a loving entity there just for our own progression. They do come to communicate their continued existence and love.

- spirit guides can give us all the answers is a fallacy. No one can live this life, in this body, but ourselves. The ultimate decision is our own what we will do, how and with whom. That is our personal responsibility.

- spirit guides are not of another species. Angels have been considered as an entity that has never had an earth life. In which case, they would not be our personal guides. Birds and animals that have passed on to spirit realms come to guide us is another fallacy. While all species have their own progression, it would not be as intelligent an approach as another human being coming to aid our progress.

- spirit guides come in humility and do not require identification. We use attunement processes to gain access to the spirit realms. It is an energy exercise and we will know when they are present to communicate. Spirit communication is called mediumship. It uses our psychic senses and then attunes with spirit realms.
