What Is Most Important?

“What appears to be most important is our application of the fruits of the Spirit in our interactions with others.

In other words, acting with love, kindness, gentleness, and patience. According to Cayce, attunement and application are at the heart of spiritual growth. Attunement is the process of awakening to our spiritual nature and our true relationship with God.

The most frequently recommended tools for achieving this attunement are the regular practice of prayer and meditation. Cayce believed that prayer was talking to God, while meditation was listening to God. Both prayer and meditation are invaluable at reestablishing a conscious awareness of our spiritual source while inviting God’s will to work through us so that we may be a ‘channel of blessings’ to others.

Then, just being kind, just being patient, just showing love for thy fellow man; that is the manner in which an individual works at becoming aware of the consciousness or the Christ Spirit.

Spiritual Growth

Your Specific Soul Purpose

“According to the Edgar Cayce philosophy, each person living on the earth is here for a specific soul purpose; a purpose that no one else can fulfill.

While for some people, their purpose might be directly related to a profession or vocation, for others it could simply be a particular way of living day by day.  Finding and then understanding and living your soul’s purpose is actually a life-long process. As your knowledge grows and deepens, you will find greater and greater opportunities for fulfilling your life’s mission.

To discover clues to your own life’s purpose, ask yourself these questions: What makes my heart sing? When in my life do I feel a sense of wonder? In what ways do I feel called to be of service to others? When do I feel closest to God?

The Cayce readings suggest that we are closest to living our soul’s purpose when we feel joyful, when we are in awe of the wonder of life around us, when we are being of service to others, and when we are deeply aware of our connection to God. 

In your contemplative or meditation time, ask your higher self, ‘What is my soul’s purpose? Why am I here in the earth at this time?’

Then become aware of the answers that will come to you through that ‘still, small voice’ from within, or through synchronous events, or even through your dreams. Your soul is communicating with you all the time, and its greatest desire is for you to fulfill your purpose for this life experience.”

Like Candies in a Jar – Suzanne Giesemann

Blessed are the children

For wrong-thinking they have not.
They don’t spend their moments
Criticizing every thought.

It’s only as they grow and age
That they do learn to think.

And with each false belief they learn
The further they do sink.

Different cultures, different norms exist
Yet inside all are one.
So why so many differences

When the day is done …

You are a product of your thoughts.
Beliefs they shape your actions.

And it’s these same beliefs and thoughts
That divide you into factions.

Culture is a good thing.
It provides you with a root.
But when others you look down upon
The culture becomes moot.

For all is one, at heart the same.
When group norms you do remove.     It’s easier to learn to love
When you’ve nothing left to prove.

“My country’s best”, “Your ways are wrong.”


These thoughts they do divide.
They separate and obfuscate
The essence that’s inside.

There’s nothing wrong with thinking
Your group it is the best
Except that it does separate
Your group from all the rest.

Appreciate your differences
They make you who you are.
But you are all like candies
Fit inside a giant jar.

Each is slightly different in appearance
Called by a different name.
Each one a different color
Yet inside all are the same.

Appreciate the differences

 

But love your neighbor too.

For at the very heart of him.  He is the same as you.

A Life Of Spiritual Mastery

“You must understand that you are powerful creators and that you create on many different levels of your being-ness. When something is not going according to plan, then you must recognize that there is a better plan, and you must resist the urge to get down on yourself for not making happen what you thought was the best-case scenario for yourself.

Trust that it is always a best-case scenario that you are living. Make the most out of what you do have and what opportunities do come your way, and relax about all the rest.

Relax and let go, surrender and go with the flow. These are concepts that you hear about all the time, but when it comes to your own life, you often think that you need to work harder, or try harder, or visualize harder.

But you do need to let go and trust, and know that the better is always coming because you are creating it as an aspect of Source Energy, and you would never deny yourself one of your creations.

Sometimes these creations don’t come in the timing you would prefer, and that just means you just need to relax even more, open up, accept, and focus on being the version of yourself you most want to be in those life circumstances, and that is the way to live a life of spiritual mastery.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”

The Answer To Every Problem

“Here is the answer to every problem that will confront you, today and tomorrow and throughout time.  In this world, you believe you are sustained by everything but God.  Your faith is placed in the most trivial and insane symbols; pills, money, ‘protective’ clothing, influence, being liked, knowing the ‘right’ people, and an endless list of forms of nothingness that you endow with magical powers.

All these things are your replacements for the Love of God.  All these things are cherished to ensure a body identification.  They are songs of praise to the ego.  Do not put your faith in the worthless.  It will not sustain you.

Only the Love of God will protect you in all circumstances.  It will lift you out of every trial, and raise you high above all the perceived dangers of this world into a climate of perfect peace and safety.  it will transport you into a state of mind that nothing can threaten, nothing can disturb, and where nothing can intrude upon the eternal calm of the Son of God.”   A Course In Miracles – Workbook for Students, Lesson 50, 1-3.

“Think of the freedom in the recognition that you are not bound by all the strange and twisted laws you have set up to save you.  You really think that you could starve unless you have stacks of green paper strips and piles of metal discs.  You really think a small round pellet or some fluid pushed into your veins through a sharpened needle will ward off disease and death.  You really think you are alone unless another body is with you.

It is insanity that thinks these things.  You call them laws, and put them under different names in a long catalogue of rituals that have no use and serve no purpose.  You think you must obey the ‘laws’ of medicine, of economics, and of health.  You think: ‘Protect the body and you will be saved.’

These are not laws but madness.  The body is endangered by the mind that hurts itself.  The body’s suffering is a mask the mind holds up to hide what really suffers.  It would not understand the mind is its own enemy; that it attacks itself and wants to die. It is from this your ‘laws’ would save the body.  It is for this you think you are a body.

There are no laws except the laws of God.  It applies to everything that you have made in opposition to God’s Will.  Your magic has no meaning.  What it is meant to save does not exist.  Only what it is meant to hide will save you.  There are no laws but God’s.  Dismiss all foolish magical beliefs today (‘laws’ of nutrition, of immunization, of medication, friendship, of ‘good relationships, and reciprocity).  God’s laws forever give and never take.

Tell yourself: I am under no laws but God’s.”

A Course In Miracles – Workbook for Students, Lesson 76, 3 – 9.

 

No Room For Inequality

“And I want you to know, whatever your backgrounds, that there is no room for inequality in the spiritual world.  You are all of equal value; you are all of equal import in understanding the universe and in experiencing your lives.

A small female child is no less valuable in our eyes than the male president of a country.  We suggest you pay attention to that piece of information.

Many are under the illusion that they are more valuable because they are white males who are powerful and rich.  That is not the case.  Their experiences in their next incarnation may not be as pleasant as they hope.  Instead, they should use their power and influence to assist in educating and caring for the youngsters who do not fit into their description.

Their use of their awareness and influence will determine their next experience in the physical world.  If they are narrow-minded and convinced of their value over other beings, they will be given an experience to prove otherwise.  That is not a threat on our part, it is merely the way the system works.

We all get to experience everything.  We get to experience all of our delusions from both sides of the coin.  You get to be the one who is in charge of the delusion, and you get to be the one who is the victim of the delusion so that you can understand both aspects and come to a place of letting the delusion go completely.  That is the purpose of your incarnations:  It is to wake up, to let the dream go, and to realize that your misbeliefs are not who you are.

You are all divine aspects of God manifesting to see where you are mistaken, and it is in waking up that you are relieved of your burden of suffering.  It is in understanding that you are all the same, that you all deserve love, and care, and compassion, and that you are all on a difficult journey of awakening.  It is not easy for anyone to wake up in the three-dimensional plane.  It is a tricky place because it is laden with booby traps, which are your misunderstandings coming to life in the dream for you to see.”

Jesus: My Autobiography,  Tina Louise Spalding, pgs. 132 – 133.

Angels – Jane Roberts’ 1974 Seth Channeling

In one of Jane Roberts’ channelings, she was asked about angels.  Where did we get the idea that angels had wings?

¶16 Angels have been represented in just this fashion.

¶17 At one time there were also species of birds, however, with high intelligence — this was before the period mentioned earlier.2 They were not humanoid; not, for example, people with wings.

They were large birds, with the capacity for dealing with concepts. They were social, could swim well (pause), and for some time could live on the water. They had songs of great beauty, and a most extensive vocabulary. They had talons. (Her eyes wide and dark, Jane held up her hands, fingers bent as though ready to grasp — or claw.)

When he was a cave dweller,3 man saw these birds often, particularly in cliffs by water. Many times the birds saved children from falling. Man identified with their easy flight up the cliffsides, and followed the sounds of their songs to safe clearings.

These memories turned into the angel images. In each case, in those times there was the greatest cooperation, on a global scale, between species.

Those who cooperated survived, but they did not think in terms of the survival of their own species alone — but, in time terms, of a greater living picture, or world inviolate, in which all survived.”

Spiritual Or Soul Development – Cayce

“Regardless of whether we choose to believe in universal laws, a set of timeless principles that govern the very fabric of our universe, our lives are shaped by these immutable principles that govern the cosmos and shape our individual destinies. Understanding and aligning our thoughts and actions with these laws can lead us to a life of purpose, fulfillment, peace, and joy.

There is the Law of Love or the Law of Grace. It really is the only law. It is a reminder that we are interconnected beings bound by the tapestry of love. It almost seems too simple, but when we align our will with God’s Will, we are subject to grace rather than karma.

Love is not merely an emotion but a force capable of uniting us with the cosmos and each other. By aligning ourselves with the Creative Forces, we open the way for healing, understanding, and harmony. This law reminds us that opposites are two sides of the same coin, inseparable and interconnected. It was given by Jesus as Love the Lord with all of your heart, mind, and soul, and love your neighbor as yourself.

“…remembering that under the law of grace this [karma] may not be other than an urge…making [self’s] will…one with the Way…may overcome, may take the choice that makes for life, love, joy, happiness—rather than the law that…causes the meeting of everything the hard way.” (1771-2)

These laws are a guiding light, illuminating the path to a life rich in purpose, joy, and abundance. Knowledge alone is not enough. It is the application of wisdom that transforms our lives, allowing us to become co-creators of our destiny. As we navigate the journey of life, may these universal principles be a compass, pointing us toward profound meaning and boundless possibilities.

“There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, it doesn’t behoove any of us to speak evil of the rest of us. This is a universal law, and until one begins to apply the same, one may not go very far in spiritual or soul development.” (3063-1)
