Allow Change To Happen

Misery arises because we don´t allow change to happen. We cling, we want things to be static. If you love a woman you want her tomorrow too, the same way as she is yours today. That´s how misery arises. Nobody can be certain about the next moment – what to say about tomorrow?

A man of awareness knows that life is constantly changing. Life is change. There is only one thing permanent, and that is change.

Accept change, everything else changes. To accept this nature of life, to accept this changing existence with all its seasons and moods, this constant flow that never stops for a single moment, is to be blissful. Then nobody can disturb your bliss. It is your hankering for permanency that creates troubles for you. If you want to live in a life with no change – you are asking the impossible.

A man of awareness becomes courageous enough to accept the changing phenomena. In that very acceptance is bliss. Then all is good. Then you are never frustrated.

An Intrinsic Part Of The Egoic Mind

“An intrinsic part of the egoic mind is feeling emotional pain.  It may feel a deep-seated sense of lack or incompleteness, of not being whole.  In some people, this is conscious, in others unconscious.  If it is conscious, it manifests as the unsettling and constant feeling of not being worthy or good enough.  If it is unconscious, it will only be felt indirectly as an intense craving, wanting, and needing.  In either case, people will often enter into a compulsive pursuit of ego-gratification and things to identify with in order to fill this hole they feel within.

So they strive after possessions, money, success, power, recognition, or a special relationship, basically so that they can feel better about themselves, and feel more complete.  But even when they attain all these things, they soon find that the hole is still there, that it is bottomless.  Then they are really in trouble, because they cannot delude themselves anymore.  Well, they can and do, but it gets more difficult.

As long as the egoic mind is running your life, you cannot truly be at ease; you cannot be at peace or fulfilled except for brief intervals when you obtained what you wanted, when a craving has just been fulfilled.  Since the ego is a derived sense of self, it needs to identify with external things.  It needs to be both defended and fed constantly.  The most common ego identifications have to do with possessions, the work you do, social status and recognition, knowledge and education, physical appearance, special abilities, relationships, personal and family history, belief systems, and often also political, nationalistic, racial, religious, and other collective identifications.  None of these is you.

Do you find this frightening?  Or is it a relief to know this?  All of these things you will have to relinquish sooner or later.  Perhaps you find it as yet hard to believe, and I am certainly not asking you to believe that your identity cannot be found in any of those things.  You will know the truth of it for yourself.  You will know it at the latest when you feel death approaching.  Death is a stripping away of all that is not you.  The secret of life is to ‘die before you die’ — and find that there is no death.”

The Three Types Of People

  THE 3 TYPES OF PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE!
1. The Leaf People
2. The Branch People
3. The Root People
LEAF PEOPLE: These are people who come into your life just for a season. You can’t depend on them because they are weak. They only come to take what they want, but if the wind comes they will leave.
You need to be careful of these people because they love you when things are okay, but when the wind comes they will leave you.
BRANCH PEOPLE: They are strong, but you need to be careful with them too.

They break away when life becomes tough and they can’t handle too much weight. They may stay with you in some seasons, but they will go when it becomes harder.

ROOT PEOPLE: These people are very important because they don’t do things to be seen. They are supportive even if you go through a difficult time they will water you and they are not moved by your position they just love you like that.
It’s not all people you meet or are your friends, that will stay with you. Only the root type of people will stay no matter the season!

You Are My Light Bearers.

Judge no one; be critical of no one. Raise your consciousness until you can see the allness of All, the Oneness of the One. Love all your fellow humans; see them as One in My divine Love. When love is flowing there is not separation; all are united in that Love.

Love brings unity, brings peace of heart and mind. Love heals all wounds. Never sit back and say the world is in an awful mess, the country is in an awful mess but there is nothing much you as an individual can do to help the situation.

There is a tremendous amount each individual can do to help the whole situation. With love in your hearts and a complete surrendering of yourselves to Me to use you as I will, I can use you as channels to do much to help and to help many souls that are floundering around in darkness.

When you sit in peace and stillness together each day you become a tremendous power as the vibrations are raised and you open yourselves up and allow Me to use you to channel My divine Love and Light out into the

world and into the lives of individuals. You feel the tremendous linking up of all the forces of Light all over the world. You feel the links becoming stronger every day. You are My Light bearers.

Reunited With Divine Creative Love

“Now, we do not speak in religious terms here.  We do not ask you to be celibate — far from it.  We ask you to clarify your mind and use the body to experience what is love, true, and in alignment with Oneness, and you will be guided on your path by your feeling, emotional body.  You will know whether you are on your path by the fact that you feel at peace, that you feel happy, that you feel contented, that you feel creative, that you feel expressive.

If you are not feeling these things, then you are expressing untrue ideas through your physical experience.  Your physical experience, your emotional guidance system, is telling you what you are doing.  You must clarify the mind, you must discipline the mind, and you must come to an understanding of what you are doing to yourself.

Nobody is doing anything to you; you do it all to yourself.  You are expressing and experiencing a reflection of your own beliefs.  You are experiencing a mirror to the vibration that you emit.  Your vibration is created from your beliefs, and your beliefs are created from your experience.

To have a new experience, you must step in faith into a new world.  You must drop the feedback system that you are experiencing.  It is showing you who you are.  If you want to have a different experience, you must change who you think you are.

You are changeable.  You are an idea in the mind of God, but you have lost touch with that.  You have become separated through your own desires, and now, through your own desires and your own guidance system, you must become reacquainted with Oneness, reacquainted with that force that you would call God.  It is a loaded word in your society, so we use it with caution, but let us say that you will become reunited with Oneness, reunited with divine creative Love.”
