The Submerged Mind

“Like an iceberg on the sea, nine-tenths of which is out of sight, I live within you in the form of mind with nine-tenths of me being submerged beneath your awareness.  The expanse of an iceberg underwater is just as real as the tip extending above the surface.  And the expanse of mind submerged below your conscious awareness is just as real as the surface mind with which you do your thinking.

The submerged mind is like a sunken treasure chest, chock-full of wonders, waiting for you to discover it and draw it to the surface.  For the most part, it lies neglected and untouched even though I have stored within it all My powers, all My wisdom, all the truth in the cosmos, the record of existence, the force that quickens and perfects, the peace that passes understanding, the love that conquers all.

This submerged mind is your center of divine wisdom, an area of mind that does not think in the normal sense of the word — it knows.  The nature of it is pure and holy, it has never been touched by limited or negative belief; it is a living part of Me.  When you have learned to elevate this submerged mind and integrate it with your surface consciousness, your entire being will take on its holy nature and you will come to find that, as Jesus taught, it is indeed not robbery to be equal with God.

Your submerged mind extends into the central area of feeling, the heart.  I live also in your heart as a reservoir of love that is immeasurable.  Your hopes and dreams and high aspirations rise up from this reservoir of feeling; they are the echoes of My still, small voice, bursting through to your surface mind like notes of music springing out of the silence, forever urging you onward toward the more prolific expression of your hidden skills and talents.”

Walk With Me

“Walk with Me, the guiding voice of Father consciousness at the center of your soul, and I will lead you gently onward and raise your thoughts to the height of truth.

I am the Light of Life within you and I have continued to shine through all the darkness of your manifold experiences, but your darkness has comprehended Me not.

I am also the Light of the world and the Power thereof by which it was made.  Contrary to appearances, I am not a lazy God who created the world and rested, then kept right on resting, indifferent to the fate of the many souls I made.  The truth is that I am always with you, no matter where you are, for in Me you live and move and have your being.

If you look at the sky you will know that I am blue, if you look at the night you will know that I am black, if you look at a leaf you will know that I am green.  If you look at the midday sun, I will dazzle you with my brightness.  If you look into the eyes of your husband or wife, you will see me twinkle.

This radiant Light of My presence is in all things, from the lowly weeds to the stately trees to the most opulent galaxies, far-flung in space.  The kitten curled up in your lap is as much a part of Me as the baby on your knee, and whatever you do to the least of one of these you do also unto Me.”

The Door Of Everything, Ruby Nelson, p. 9 – 10.

A Child Talks To God

“I was four years old and playing with my dolls when it happened. My Grandma was doing laundry and singing to herself when I had the sudden realization, that everything was perfect, exactly as it should be, because I was here.  At the same time, I understood that if I had never been born, everything would be just as perfect, but in a whole different way.  Not exactly a normal epiphany for a child, or even most adults, but I understood it completely, and felt its truth in my very core.  I thought, Oh good, everything is perfect, I can go now.

Having nowhere I should go and using all the options available to a four-year=old, I put a dress on my dog, packed my doll in a play suitcase, and headed for the park.  This was a very small town in 1976, and the park was only two blocks away.  It really wasn’t that daring of an adventure.  Besides, where else would I go?

When I got to the park, I sat on a bench and wondered what now?  A blinding white light and several ‘beings’ immediately surrounded me.  I assumed this was God, even though it seemed odd that God would appear as multiple and androgynous … but I supposed God could appear any way He chose. That’s the prerogative of being omnipotent.

The communication that followed was a mixture of visions and meaning conveyed without a medium, like just knowing something without hearing or seeing it.

The basic message was this: Would you be willing to help us out? Your life wouldn’t be as ‘fun’ as a normal human life, but it would mean a lot to us? 

Sort of take one for the team. I agreed and asked what to do. They replied just keep your heart open.  Then I experienced the crucifixion, the weight and pain of that life of service, emotional weight, and spiritual weight.  Then I felt the release from the body, and the incredible contrast of freedom and love as my spirit soared.  Then it was over.  Just like that.  I was just sitting in the park.

It was years before I even told my Mom about the experience because I thought everyone got a mission.  In my mind, you learned to walk, then you learned to read, then you got your mission from God, then you started Kindergarten.  I was four.  Made sense to me.  I was eight or nine when I started to realize not everyone was aware of having a mission.  So I told my Mom about this experience and asked her if it was normal.  Apparently not.

Almost forty years later, I still remember it like it was yesterday, but my interpretations have changed a bit.  Instead of God, I think it was my guides contacting me.  Instead of asking me to take on this mission, I think they were reminding me why I came.  It has been the defining moment of my entire life, and my understanding of it expands and evolves all the time.  But I do think the directive is exactly as they stated: Just keep your heart open.

A Traditional Aztec Náhuatl Prayer

Praying is making a focused connection to your Higher Self/The God Within YOU.

Prayer is an extremely powerful tool for our lives. Make sure you keep yourself in high spirits for more good to come to you.  If you apply this prayer to your daily routine it will open up doors and healing for your journey.

This ancient Aztec blessing was created in the Náhuatl language in the central region of Mexico, which deals with forgiveness, affection, detachment, and liberation.

A Traditional Náhuatl Prayer
“I release my parents from the feeling that they have failed with me.
I release my children from the need to make me proud, so that they can write their own ways, according to their hearts.
I release my partner from the obligation to make me feel complete. I lack nothing in myself.
I learn with all the beings that surround me through all time.
I thank my grandparents and ancestors who met so that today I breathe life. And I release them from the faults of the past and from the wishes they did not fulfill, aware that they did the best they could to resolve their situations, within the consciousness they had at that moment. I honor them, I love them, and I recognize their innocence.
I bare my soul before their eyes and that is why they know that I do not hide or owe anything, more than being faithful to myself and my own existence walking with the wisdom of the heart.
I am aware that I am fulfilling my life project, free of visible and invisible family loyalties that may disturb my peace and my happiness, which are my greatest responsibilities.
I renounce the role of savior, of being the one who unites or who fulfills the expectations of others.
And learning through LOVE, I bless my essence and my way of expressing, although there may be someone who cannot understand me.
I understand myself, because only I lived and experienced my story; because I know myself, I know who I am, what I feel, what I do and why I do it.
I respect and approve.
I honor the Divinity in me and in you… We are free.

 

Harmony And Peace Once Again

“Be still and in the stillness feel your consciousness expand, feel yourself rise far above all earthly contacts into the realms of the Spirit.

Each time you become still you will find you are able to do this. Practice it more and more often. Cease driving yourself and take time to be alone with Me.

During the day go away into your sanctuary. Absorb the peace and stillness and become One with Me, and then go forth renewed in spirit and filled with My divine Love.

Never be too busy to do this.

This renewing of the spirit is far more important than any job that has to be done because when you are right inside, you will be right outside and will be able to do everything in the right spirit.

Whenever you are feeling impatient or irritable, go away by yourself and find that inner peace and stillness and all will become harmony and peace once again..”
