Spiritual Question And Your Journey Into Knowing Yourself

Spiritual Question And Your Journey Into Knowing Yourself
By Adonis Alexander

Is it possible to extinguish the ego in order to make progress on your spiritual journey?

For such a question, may I ask, why do you want to extinguish the ego? Do you see its destructive nature and that is why you are wondering? Have you watched its every movement in your daily activities that you can see its limitations and absurdities?

All this has to be observed without the slightest desire to get rid of the ego at all. As long as you are interested in extinguishing the ego-self, the mind as thought wants to continue. The desire to end the ego is the ego and is its game of continuity.

So, it is not about getting rid of the ego but seeing the ego for what it is. This is a movement of the mind as thought. This ego, this thinker, is a movement of thought. To be free of the ego, the ‘I’, cannot attempt to end it. It is the continuous trick of the mind.

As long as ones thoughts, which are disorder, confusion, and chaos, is the whole of ones consciousness, you cannot see, clearly. To see is vital to living a holistic life of love and happiness. Ego is the denial of happiness.

You cannot go beyond the limitations of mind as ego and discover if there is anything beyond it. Simply, because you are being blinded by the mind. When at once you can get a glimpse of this ego for what it is, perhaps you can understand it.

Not try to get rid of it. The very understanding of it, you transcend its limitations. However, to try to end it yourself, that is like a cat chasing its own tail not knowing it is her own self. You cannot get rid of the ego because; you are the ego-self.

So, we do not get rid of the ego but understand it for what it is. Seeing that it is the movement of the mind we may shed light on it. The light of seeing ends it.

To see that it is a thing of change, the mind is movement and time, we understand it is illusory. That which changes cannot be real. Yet, we identify ourselves as being the ego-self. A false thing!

Realize in truth, you are not the ego-self, which alone is such a beautiful, joyous thing to understand.

Now, when at once you see the ego as a false thing, what becomes of you? Surely, that is the dissolution of ego without any form of effort. The very seeing of this fact is a movement of freedom.

When at once you truly see what you are not, the realization of what you truly are awakens in you. Then there is nothing any one can say to you. The eternal joy is just there. Is this really something you would love to realize within yourself?

What Is The Link Between Guided Imagery, Your Intellect, And Your Imagination?

 

What Is The Link Between Guided Imagery, Your Intellect, And Your Imagination?
By Max Highstein

Accessing the imagination is the key to creative problem solving, and it can also be very valuable in healing. The biggest limitation to using our imagination creatively is the intellect. Guided imagery helps us to slip past the intellect and use our imagination to solve problems, work creatively, and heal from within.

The intellect is something like a small computer. It can take the data it has been fed, and come up with various combinations of that data, and feed it back. It’s helpful for doing things like filling out forms, balancing a check book, and telemarketing. The intellect can only play a small part when it comes to real creativity, and tapping into the rich inner resources we all carry with us. For that, we need imagination, and the inspiration to use it.

Most adults have a complicated relationship to our imagination. We have fun using it on the rare occasions we allow ourselves to. But at some point during childhood or adolescence we figured out that with the possible exception of the theater, society tends to frown upon “make believe” as a way of being in the world.

That tends to be anathema for the imagination, so we stop using it. At that point, the imagination gets relegated to a backseat in our consciousness, and the intellect pretty much takes over. We actually begin to devote inner resources to keeping the imagination in check, so it doesn’t leak out at inappropriate times. The farther we get from the natural state in which the imagination is used on an ongoing basis (childhood) the harder it becomes to access.

But in order to come up with new solutions to new problems, and in order to shift our attitude inside to one that’s most conducive to healing, the imagination is required. Suddenly, we’re trying to use something we’ve told ourselves to avoid, and we’re stuck. In general the more intellect-focused a person is, the harder time they will have using their imagination.

Guided imagery is a workaround for the problem. A typical guided meditation asks us to relax – to set aside the intellect for a while. The soothing voice and soft music in the background tend to create a sense of safety that lets the intellect quiet down a bit. The images suggested in a guided meditation program (a gentle breeze, clouds, a mountain stream, etc.) tend to be triggers for our imagination to take off.

Max Highstein is the author of a wide variety of guided imagery recordings appreciated by folks the world over for over 25 years. To enjoy samples and free examples, visit his web site The Healing Waterfall at this link for a guided meditation.

What You Think Life Is, It Isn’t!

What You Think Life Is, It Isn’t!
By Caroline Cory

The physical worlds, planetary systems and universes are connected through energetic and electro-magnetic lines and grids which overlap in such a way as to unite homogeneously. They all converge at one Source, the original Universal Creator-Source from which all Life springs. No world can be sustained outside these energetic fields or without the rhythmic breath and pulse of this Creator-Source.

The energetic grids have several functions which include establishing and maintaining gravitational forces, interplanetary communication and broadcasts, vehicle transportation and time separation.

All planets, solar systems, galaxies and universes are created simultaneously. While scientists may still consider their physical movement and evolution to be chaotic, they are all, in fact, in perfect cosmic order and arrangement. Their systematic gravitational forces maintain a perfect harmonic balance in relation with one another and with their original Creator-Source. The organized gravitational forces of all physical systems and intelligent life are indeed eternal, indestructible and infinitely connected to each other and to the one Creator-Source.

All existence, physical and non-physical, has consciousness to a varying degree and due to its electro-magnetic nature, it must travel and communicate through energetic lines. A Thought or a Force, for example, has a vibrational frequency which requires the use of grids and matrixes to travel from one physical point to another. Thought is communicated within your planet, and with other planets, galaxies and universes through these energetic lines. While invisible to you, these communications and broadcasts are actual and incessant allowing the maintenance of a Thought / Mind balance within your planet and your neighboring worlds.

All humans begin life here. You may say that Earthly existence is the beginning of life experience and from here, your mind expands until it is able to handle higher realities. Due to the bending of cosmic light which refracts against your Earth’s electro-magnetic grid, your physical reality appears as a spectrum of fixed colors which in turn determines your capacity to observe life as finite, configured to restricted meanings you can comprehend.

The denser the atmosphere the cosmic light must infiltrate the more fractured or distorted it becomes. Since it is energy, it is also consciousness and carries information. The light bending and refraction that occur within your system allows only a portion of the eternal reality and information of the cosmos to be perceived. In that sense, you only perceive a distorted version of the Truth. While your potential is eternal, your experience begins in what thus appears to be a limited and controllable setting. It is “illusory”, indeed.

If physical reality was to be perceived by a spirit being, it would appear fluid, in constant motion, eternally active. The rate of vibration of each object perceived equals its composing elements and density but their vibrational frequency can only be perceived as static energy from a human perspective: a table or an automobile, for example, are in fact minute vibrating particles of one form of energy in constant motion, while you perceive them as solid material objects. That is the nature of physical or material reality.

From the Spirit’s multi-dimensional perspective, physical reality also appears in layers as follows:

� First layer: The concept / idea

� Second layer: The expression / language

� Third layer: The frequency / energetic manifestation / emotion

� Fourth layer: the object / physical manifestation

When “flattened”, these layers are one and the same thing. The process of making the idea into an object is spontaneous for divine beings but for humans, all 4 layers must be processed through the energetic grids of time and space in order to materialize the idea into the object.

Before you appear in the physical, you project your consciousness into a multitude of layers of existence and a range of vibrational frequencies. Your brain waves’ frequency determines which layer you are experiencing at that time: when you are focused on physical matters, your brain waves fluctuate from 14 to 30 cycles per second; when you are asleep, your brain waves are vibrating at 1 to 4 cycles per second… You are the same being existing in these multitudes of layers or dimensions, as you may call them. You are simply switching focus from one layer to another. While you may think that only physical reality is real, your consciousness exists at once in physical and non-physical layers of reality which are all real. You are multi-dimensional beings indeed.

From a Spirit perspective, there are no layers, illusions or veils. These concepts exist in the human perceptual fields. The Divine Mind or Spirit sees reality as light while humans can only see it through emotions and sensory perception. This perceptual impediment IS the veil we speak of. Continuous negative emotions can become obstructions to your advancement because the layers or veils of physical reality begin to thicken. When confronted with fear or anger for example, you are unable to see beyond these emotional veils unless you address the factors behind them and identify their origins and purpose.

Emotions are a primordial tool in recognizing what feels good and what does not as you interact with the physical world. Your Spirit Self uses emotions as a guidance system while you navigate through the physical. They are precursors to choice and decision making. Therefore emotions are not only necessary but crucial to your spiritual and creative evolution. Additionally, emotions are the tools by which you are able to “purge” the detrimental energies being accumulated or stored in your physical body and transmute them into beneficial thought forms. The emotions of anger or strong sadness allow you to experience negative feelings powerfully so you may re-channel them appropriately. Rather than suppressing these emotions, it is more constructive to embrace and utilize them as powerful tools in reshaping your experience.

When you become able to assimilate the original idea and the physical manifestation as one, you can materialize everything you think of instantly. At that stage, you are piercing through the veils of your physicality and thinking ideas into existence, without the emotional stumble blocks. Such is the work of the Masters but it is in fact a natural process for all evolutionary material beings once they learn to transcend physical reality’s layered and illusionary properties.

How to Reconcile Your Human Life With Your Spirit

English: Pictured here is a long exposure phot...

By Maya Hanley

I have spent a lot of my life wishing I were not on earth. I remember sitting on my window sill in the house I grew up in the mountains of Co. Wicklow, Ireland, and staring at the night sky (no light pollution there!) and wishing I were in the sky with the stars.

Later on I wanted to be an astronaut so I could travel the galaxies. I always wanted to be ‘out there’ where I somehow knew there was no pain and suffering. I knew I belonged in a place where there was no restriction on my movement or thought (or being)

Since I was stuck here, I had to get on with it. Some of the experiences I had were very difficult and painful and I forgot for a long time about my longing to be elsewhere. I notice now, looking back, that the more I forgot about my sense of belonging elsewhere, the harder my life on earth got.

As I embraced the spiritual again and as I learn more and more, I have realized one big thing.

THE REAL YOU IS THE BEING THAT EXISTS WHETHER YOU’RE IN A BODY OR NOT!

This came home strongly to me recently when I did a reading for someone. His grandfather was visiting him in his dreams, trying to tell him something. My client only remembered his grandfather as someone who wasn’t that nice in his lifetime, who had been cruel to his wife and a drinker. I explained to him that the being who was trying to contact him now was the pure being of his grandfather, without all the faults he had in this life. Once my client knew that, he understood that the message he was supposed to get from his grandfather was positive and clear.

It made me think about how we get so exercised with ourselves and our failings, and those of others. If we were able to see and understand that every human being is, in essence, that pure being of light and music, we would be more able to forgive and release our anger and resentment. We would treat ourselves better and honour our bodies and minds as the great parts of god and the universe that they are.

It has given me a sense of peace, understanding this and I am grateful, yet again, for the learning I receive when I do readings for people.

Have you experienced anything that has given you a greater understanding of who you are?
