Reaching out into the Ether

 The soul makes its way by reaching out further and further and reaching within itself deeper and deeper. It reaches out and into the ether to manifest the conditions it needs to grow. The weight of its own luminosity compels the ether to obey its will. The soul wishes to expand, to fully manifest its own infinite potential. With its ability to compound energy, the rate that it expands accelerates with the passing of time. 

The soul reaches for God, Eternal Life. It senses that it came from God and wishes to return to that Source. It senses that God contains the answer to all its problems. Above all it wishes to re-unite itself with the Source of its own being, fully merging back into Divinity. The soul also reaching out through the ether to God by the power of its true love and desire for God gains the succor of God that in like reaches back to the soul. 

The soul discovers the Divine through reaching deeper within itself and out into the ether as it seeks to expand its own nature. Eventually it recognizes clearly that its own infinite potential comes from the living manifestation of it: God. So its goal transforms from simply accelerating endlessly to returning to its Source. 

It sees that while it may utilize its great powers to fulfill its own wishes, these may distract it from its greater and greatest purpose of reaching and uniting with God. It senses that intuiting and following This will brings about that end. Intuitively following God's will and sincerely and lovingly reaching out to God accomplish the same task. Loving God wholeheartedly naturally and spontaneously brings us into harmony with His will. To follow Him we must naturally and spontaneously turn our heart to Him. In doing so we make God the object of our will. Continuing in such wisdom the object of our will manifests into our life. 

The soul needs to reach out into the ether and within itself to grow and operate in the Universe. When it makes God the secret desire behind all of its activity it optimizes its ability to succeed and moves most quickly towards its deepest desire: Unity with this loving God. 

Leaving body-mind behind

 Consciousness for most people participates wholly in the shared conceptual narrative of the body-mind experience. From a young age humans learn this conceptual narrative that defines human experience and comes to limit it extensively. Through this structure consciousness evolves and the narrative deepens and widens with increasing complexity and breadth. Yet it remains tied to conceptual imagery, a fragmented understanding with hard limitations. It also remains tied to the dominant experience of the self being an individual body-mind.

This individual believes in this narrative wholly. They fail to see that this identity comes from incomplete powers of processing and understanding. This creates an incomplete picture of the self. The fact that the self image continually evolves and continually contains deep ignorance and uncertainty remains almost entirely overlooked. So deeply imbedded in the mind, so central to all experience, the body-mind self concept at its core never receives conscious examination. Not at least until this concept begins to fracture. 

We fear the death of this body-mind concept, not the actual passing of the indwelling soul from the physical body. We fear the darkness of the terrain enfolding this concept rather than the actual terrain that the superconscious soul inhabits. The soul and its environment remain invisible to us because we fear to leave the habitation of our own mind. We fear to leave the comfort of the illusory security of our conceptually produced body-mind self image, the content of this mind.  Remaining rooted in the mental/conceptual and remaining dominated by the limitations of the perceiving faculties of this domain, the clear perception of the subtle superconscious reality immediately beyond this remains almost completely out of sight and for all intents and purposes, non-existent. This tragedy plagues any society that loses sight of the truly spiritual dimensions of the Universe. 

Truly, we die to our body-mind narrative, and awaken in the birth of our superconscious soul. The soul remains alive through the death of the physical body and the body-mind narrative. The physical body needn't die for the soul to awaken, but the body-mind narrative must. This death marks the transition and evolution of the mental, largely conceptually rooted identity, to the subtle superconscious intuitively driven body. The difficulty of this transition comes from the need in this transition to leave the life dominated and delineated by the mind, the mental, behind for a wholly new body, the subtle superconscious soul. Instead of moving to a new neighborhood, the individual must move to a new planet. The fish must evolve to leave the ocean to walk upon the Earth. Or the chick must make its first move to leave the comforts of the nest for the potential dangers of the open sky.  

These changes merely point to the difference between the mental/physical and subtle/spiritual. The actual difference between these two worlds adds up to being far greater than all of these examples combined. The reality of the soul transcends mental or conceptual understanding. It must be grasped through the intuition, through the psychic intuition. Where subtle energies replace the networks of patchwork images formed by incomplete concepts. Where experience and identity comingle with the living energetic field of ones environment. Where all souls lose the mask of persona and stand naked in the face of karma actively and acutely unfolding everywhere. 

Our whole collection of self-concepts hold no water. They stand precariously on the brink of Death. We cling to these masks out of desperation, not of any vital need. They serve us for a time and then the time comes to take them off and discard them. Let them fall to pieces and turn to dust. Let the wind carry away the dust leaving nothing behind. Nothing except the soft light of the superconscious soul. 

Psychic will

 How do I use my will to psychically affect change? -Through the feelings. Through feeling.

-You feel the Universe with your mind and apply your will to change it 

I would like to apply the spiritual principle to all my psychic will power

- Attune your will to the vibration of the Holy Ghost so that you use your willpower in Harmony with God and the Universe. 

What would I like to do with my will psychically?

- Open my life to receive abundance and move into that abundance. 

How do I do this?

-Through your feeling. Feel out into the universe and sense the possibility of manifesting that abundance

-Lean into that feeling until it begins to grow and the possibility feel more and more likely.

- Find opportunities to lean into this feeling and make decisions that are in alignment with these feelings. 

-Make leaning into these feelings and making decisions in alignment with them second nature and a single effort of mind and will... So as you lean you are applying your will consciously to manifest this reality

-Stay away from things that bring you down

-Avoid them at all costs

- Change your habits to support this positive feelings

- Find things to dwell on that uplift your spirit, then apply your will and thought with positive affirmation towards the end you seek to manifest. 

What is positive that I can dwell on right now?

- I am a being of infinite consciousness and infinite intelligence. I can utilize this intelligence right now to manifest whatever I desire. I make this way with God, for He is the Truth and all Righteousness. 

- I am infinite. I am infinity. I recognize the darkness within myself as an opportunity to utilize my will to become a freeer and happier version of myself. Within the darkness is the potential for Light, for resolution, and new creative possibilities. The darkness is my ally, my friend, not my enemy. 

What do I want?

- The ability to trust my feelings. To trust that they will lead me to deeper happiness and lasting security. That they will lead me to material, mental, and spiritual positive development

- To remain in contact with these positive feelings and to have reoccurring and frequent opportunities to act on them to increase the stability of the positivity and it's power to manifest positive change- abundance in my life. 

- To see the world and the many circumstances I find myself in through a positive light in which I am very capable of navigating

- For life to be a lot easier and friendlier. To be able to enjoy it deeply and cultivate a thoroughly friendly relationship with life. 

- To be at peace and ease. To live in a deep and abiding bliss. To love freely and openly. To give love freely and generously. To help people to awaken to their own inner peace and bliss. To love people. To love with everything within me. 

All doors and all ways open before me. The blue sky shines within each of these passageways so that everything is open and accessible. Everywhere I look I find infinite positive potential to succeed and overcome any fears I have. I am infinite. I am boundless. Nothing can contain my spirit. There is only openness before me. Only Peace. Only God. My life is changing. I am not finite. I am infinite. The world will meet me to provide what I need, to bestow infinite abundance upon me. I am infinite now. I possess infinite abundance now. I possess everything right now. The shell that has contained me is cracking, crumbling apart. The infinite within has broken free and now soars high in the blue sky of Heaven. All doors open before me. The blue expanse opens before me. I am forgetting what it feels like to be a limited being for my infinite soul awakens. I can only move forward into this openness. This openness, this infinity is the substance of everything in my awareness. All around me all of the time. Through this Infinity I pass and into it, through it, I travel. I live in this Open Sky. So that I never truly touch the Earth. Earth and Heaven have become One. This extends into the future and the past, purifying and revivifying them so that all things become open and free. So there is no err and no place to err. 

Only the infinite electric sky. 

The One

 Everything we look at contains everything else both within it, and in the way it appears. Each thing is a manifestation of the whole Universe in a unique and particular way. Because of this, we can learn of many different things simply by looking at one thing. 

Each thing is a manifestation of the One so the same nature runs through everything. In dealing with different things we actually deal with the same thing. The difference is entirely superficial, which is probably hard to believe. Not just superficial, but illusory. From the perspective of the One. The same thing is happening everywhere. The same nature and power unfolds evenly throughout the cosmos. It is the cosmos. 

We don't need to become completely free of identifying with limited form to realize this. There is no need to change anything about our experience or self to realize this. It is already our nature, for we are this One. It is all that is, it is independent of conditioned form. No thing ever really became conditioned. Nothing ever lost its infinite nature. The idea of limited conditioned form simply became dominant in particular areas in the Universe, and that infinite nature felt that it was falling into Darkness. This never actually happened. So we don't have to change, because we are irrevocably Infinite. 

Our mind does not have to change because we are not our mind. We are not our self as we know ourselves to be. We will know our true self when we see that who we are and what all things are is of the same nature, and that nature One and infinite. Here, we and all things are Infinity.  

Here we do not have a self as a self is known. It is like being a person  without a face. A mirror has replaced the face and it simply reflects everything that shines on it. Our personhood is empty of substance. 

Greater than Gold

 Weakness is strength, and strength weakness. 

We seek something that will last. Yet no thing anywhere will last. Not one thing the mind clings to is permanent. Chasing ideas is like chasing water as it runs between your fingers and splashes on the bare earth. You can't pull any substance from them. Even health and enlightenment, wisdom, we cannot possess these things. They are gained through the death of that which possesses if at all. Are we drowning in an excess of external pressure, or an excess of inner restlessness? Is disease caused by the world, or by our own mind? 

What we truly need, we already possess. What we cannot find is already in our hand. 

What if what we are looking forward innately belongs to our very self-nature. What if we already possess the solution to our problems? What if they are already solved? What if the root of the problem is not in the world, but in our state of mind? In the way we are looking? What if we are already perfect? Flawless? What if we are already whole? What if things are exactly as they are supposed to be? What if nothing is out of place? 

There's no where we can go, and nothing we can do to fundamentally improve the Universe as a whole. It is already perfectly One, perfectly expressed, perfectly complete. 

A mentality that depends upon conflicting forces fails to see the reciprocity of opposites. An eternal balance exists between the dualistic expressions of nature. No opposing force exceeds its opposite in virtue. The greatest virtue lies in the balance between the two. With clear eyes the common nature of both opposing forces appears. What appeared as opposition now looks more like a dance. When one realizes this they can position themselves to allow this dance to unfold rather than wasting effort in the vain attempt to manipulate something natural. 

Internally, balance can only be achieved when one positions themself in such a way in regard to the natural relationships between the opposing forces within themself. Not one is greater or lesser than the other. Our societies philosophies and our personal inclinations often keep us from this enlightened attitude. 

Balance is not so much achieved as rediscovered. It is more relational than personal. It is how we relate to the Universe, to all things. 

Apart of this enlightened attitude towards what is dualistic is change in the way we use energy and resources. Instead of building a great storehouse only for ourselves that we can consume at will. We instead refrain from collecting energy solely for ourselves and access energy through the relationships we have with the Universe. We acknowledge that the Universe is a place of constant energy exchange or flow and that we are apart or One with this flow. We open ourselves to this vast network of energetic exchanges as we participate in the diversity of life and our particular personal circumstance, using energy from the whole as it flows to and from us. This philosophy proposes that true security lies in Harmony with the greater Universe rather than being a result of outcompeting it or your surrounding neighbors.  It draws from the Infinite collective pool of Life instead of it's own personal reserves and places the importance and interest of this greater body above its own. 

This perspective becomes valid as the individual themself begins to identify more with what is common between themself and the greater Universe than what is different between their self and the Universe. As this identity shifts so does the nature of that individual: from animal to human to Divine. 

It is very easy to react out of fear and to cling to what we know or believe or instinctually feel is appropriate. This does not make it wise to do so. The longer and more difficult road, though the road that brings you back home, is one of deep introspection and study into the nature of things and of one's own being. Regardless of the difficulty, perseverance in the path is what brings results.  Perseverance through both inclement and favorable weather. That does not yield to time or space, yet continues until the goal has been met. 

The Universe is balanced. It is One an Whole. We are a part of this whole. To such an extent that we are It. All the parts of ourself hold the integrity, the quality, of this Whole. To treat any such part as less than that means forgetting who we are and where we came from. Each part is an expression of the whole. It lives in balance with that whole. It lives in balance with the Universe. 

Our very mind is the One. Our thoughts are the One. Our fear and pain and success and happiness are the One. Already One. Already Whole. No thing to do. No one to become. Remain with Thyself and Thou shalt have Peace. 

Where we are, what is, is infinite. What we do, who we see is infinity. We cannot fail because we have found who we are. The Universe, this, is not finite. It is infinite. We don't see the connection between the good and the bad. We don't see that they are One, that everything is One. We live in a world of lack failing to see a world of infinite abundance. It is not merely infinite in quantity, it is infinite in quality in content. Everything is available right now. Everything is open right now. Everything is perfect, flawless right now. We don't believe it, simply because we don't see it. That doesn't mean it isn't there. Not only is it there, it is the only thing there. I am of this infinite nature. I am infinite. In every way, I am infinite. 

This is my life. This is where I live. This is who I am. 

I am One. I am all. I am free. 

I am One. I am all. I am completely free.

I am One. 

I am One.

I am One. 

This Oneness is infinite. It is Infinity. I am Infinity. 

My consciousness in infinite. I am infinite. This world is infinite. There is only infinity. This nature is my self-nature. There is no limit to what I can do. No limit to what I can achieve. I have infinite power. infinite knowledge, infinite potential.  

My mind is infinite. My body is infinite. I am infinite. Everything we experience is infinity. It is all perfect, flawless, One. Infinity of all directions. Infinity of all kinds. 

Infinity means complete openness. Complete freedom. Perfect Love. Perfect safety. Perfect everything. 

The Soul part I

 It's strange to see perfection at work in the world. Lost in the confusion of the mind we grasp for patterns among turbulent seas of chaos. The perfect order among the chaos, inseparable from it, eludes our perception completely. The perfect order that creates the re-occurring trouble and small victories. That animates the constant fog of ignorance clouding our awareness. It is not at all by chance that these things happen. A supreme intelligence guides every single movement in the cosmos, with perfect awareness and perfect understanding. It knows exactly what will happen and when because it orchestrates and it is the movement. 

We miss this master at work in the weariness, depression, and hypnosis we suffer as beings partially evolved in Spirit. Our task involves cultivating mental understanding an ever expanding personal feeling as humans in this time. Here we live among the scripts of our own thought and our limited feeling forever boxed in by the insurmountable walls of ignorance engulfing our consciousness. We glimpse the edges of the beyond, yet seldom traverse that space in a waking state. The obligations and demands of present society provide a additional set of walls to buffer our experience and awareness. For those destined not to fit in, this mental and material world provides little amusement and often zero inspiration for the soul. It is inescapably flat and we find ourselves grounded and oppressed by the weight of the psychic shackles pressed upon us from birth. The traditional narratives and those expanding outward from the traditional still do little to feed our luminous souls. The mental will always struggle and fail to adequately provide for the subtle nature of the soul, which subsequently will always feel lost until it is found. There is a world outside of the endless conceptions of the mind. One that begins to provide for the infinite unknown inner space of our being. 

When one awakens to the life of the soul, the soul appears in everything. So much of it remains unseen by most. Employed fully in the demands of personal experience the subtle forces surrounding and shaping life do not exist. All the possibility for anything different does not exist. Karma largely controls experience. Outside of the confines of the narrative mind, the conceptual thinking-feeling self, the severe limitations of this prior existence stand out like bars of a cage. Where once before one found comfort they now find a coffin. How could such a life be sustained? How could I ever come to live like that? 

Even though soul remains hidden, it exists aplenty. Even though we experience what feels like less than it, we still experience it. Even though we feel like less than it, we are it. All of creation unfolds according the the Mastery of God's perfect will. Even thousands and millions of years as slowly evolving sparks of Divine Light inhabiting the material universe. 

Awaken Thy Soul Song

 The conceptual mind cuts reality into so many parts. It looks for deeper understanding of these parts as they relate to each other to find meaning and to walk well, This conceptual mind lacks the ability to see the real fluidity of the world that defies the sword cuts of thinking and the sharp edges of conceptions. If you must cut to see, then you break apart something that cannot be seen as it was once broken. The soul awakens here where thought and feeling become Feeling, becoming the life of the soul. 

As good as dry thought cuts wood, living trees have so much more to say. It cuts until it cuts itself to pieces. Not leaving nothing, for the cutting mind builds as it destroys in an attempt finally to build something that will last. Or outlast it. It attempts to understand the world, the Universe. It builds a connection between the mind and the heart until they unify as the single soul that sees directly without cutting, without probing, simply by looking. It does this, and the feeling heart does this so they can go out further and deeper than ever before. They do this because the separation between them was a facade and they both knew they were something greater. The self here recognized the world it identified and digested to be the reflection of something greater, and that it's journey ended not in what it could find in the world, but what cast the shadow that was the world. Looking within itself, cutting and cutting deeper and deeper until it found and formed the reflection itself. It became the reflection and left the world. To go out beyond. 

The world becomes consumed by the mind and that mind dies. The world most know has less dimension that believed. We miss that the narrative of our mind is not reality, the world, but only a description. We lose ourself in the idea of what we know so that what we know is merely an idea. We feel and experience so much more than we consciously understand, but we cannot fit this into our awareness because we depend on notions to perceive and experience. This is the limitation of the thinking mind. It must undo itself to move further along the path of Enlightenment. 

And it does come to an end. The self we know dies and a germ of God awakens. 

In this vast Sea the crying wind tears open my chest. Beneath the shattered bone and torn flesh lies a soft luminous light. Blood spills out into the wind, rain, and sea. Light spills out into everything. Beyond Death. I am born again...

Baptized in the blood of life and the white Light of God I come yet again to sing my song.
