MEANS PERSONAL FREEDOM

The History of the human race records how smart we can be....and how destructive we can be....how cruel ....how sublime.

 Why so cruel? How so sublime?

Hello, every one. Welcome to the Modern Mystic.

I'm here to continue an exploration of Spiritual Ideas that will help us integrate our human and Spiritual Realities....believing it can only happen within a framework of human Peace, offering ways to make that Peace happen for ourselves and for the world at large....suggesting some answers as to why one human can be so cruel and another so loving and kind....or how we can find both qualities in any one of us.

 I think the explanation lies in Understanding our human nature, which is capable of cruelty...

and in acknowledging our true Spiritual Nature, which is not. 

Whether we know it or not....or whether we want to believe it or not, we live under an UMBRELLA OF COSMIC RULES. Most of us believe cruelty is punished and (we hope), goodness is rewarded. Some of us tend to have a fatalistic attitude, often believing that  there’s nothing we can do about our human plight.....never realizing that we have always had Freedom of Choice.

 Many of us believe in chance....not understanding 'choice'....or knowing that we are to look to Cosmic Direction for assistance. 

Today, there’s the great need to solve the problem of Peace on Earth.

 Many people the world over are suffering because of 'lack of Peace' where they live.

 Those of us who are fortunate to live peaceful lives in America, often take peace for granted....many people  believing we can go on doing and allowing the ungodly things some of us do here...and not reap the whirlwind....but it cannot be that way.

Divine Justice will always have the last word. Peace is the Cosmic Standard. Freedom of Choice (to be peaceful or not) is ours.

 We’re at the turning of a cycle....and today, it’s wise to be on the side of 'God', working for Peace.

The hands on the Cosmic clock indicate it's time to say

LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH AND LET IT BEGIN WITH ME.

But, again, before we get into today’s talk, we take a moment to be quiet....building and reinforcing the 'Bubble of Light'....the Wall of impenetrable Light.... we've created around ourselves...which is a place we can go for a while to get away from the stress of human activity. Though in fact, it is the 'place' in which we can live our entire lives....we can choose to live quiet and protected lives in a 'Place' in which we are enfolded and nurtured in 'Christ Love and Peace' all the time. A Place where we can get away from the sometimes difficult energy outside that Wall. So let’s take this moment to.... 

WRAP OURSELVES IN THE HEART LIGHT OF GOD

AND SEE THAT OPALESCENT CHRIST LIGHT SPIRALING AROUND OURSELVES

AS WE OPEN OUR MINDS TO THE HIGHEST INFORMATION CHANNELS

AND TOGETHER INVITE LIGHT, PURE CHRIST LIGHT, TO STREAM FORTH INTO OUR LIVES

THAT WE MAY BECOME CHANNELS FOR LIGHT AND ILLUMINATION TO DESCEND TO, INTO AND THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE OF EARTH ...TO FLOW TO AND ENFOLD, PROTECT AND PERFECT ALL LIFE THERE-ON.

I want to continue talking about America....and I ask you to really listen and think about what I’m going to say.  

America’s future...the world’s future and therefore, our individual futures....may depend on our understanding the importance of the 'Idea that is America' as well as understanding our need to participate in the physical manifestation of that Idea. It is only in understanding (regardless of our Nationality) the 'Unique Idea of Personal Freedom' that the 'Greater Beings' are experimenting with here in America, and being willing to do whatever we must do, to safeguard, not only the land mass, but the Philosophy on upon which the country was founded...does Freedom have a chance to succeed on this planet.

 There is much I would like to say about the 'Mystical Importance of America'...and perhaps some day I will.... but now I wish to comment on how unique America is among all the nations of the world....and how complex.

From the beginning we have been and are still today, a complement of people divided by many competing ideologies. Today, perhaps the most divisive of these ideas is that half of us appear to favor governmental control of our daily lives through all the social programs we can implement, supposed to make life easier while they control our lives....as well, many favor wide spread governmental (policing) legislation meant to protect us.

While the other half (of voting Americans) tend toward ideas of less governmental help and less 'protection'. And greater individual freedom and responsibility for their individual lives,  

Philosophically these are opposing, clashing ideas. “Control” is always the opposite of “Free will”.

We can see that one is a humanistic idea of survival ....while the other, is the Gift of Spirit, bringing with it the responsibility to protect personal Freedom of Choice and Free Will. So history reveals that these two ideas do indeed, often clash. Here in America men have engaged in the struggle to put food on the table on one hand.... and some have fought and continue to fight against control of their daily lives on the other. Once a battle was fought in the name of Freedom Itself. This is the story of America....a story that is rarely told any more. A Story that is rarely understood.    

All or most all wars or social or economic disruptions can be traced to the clashing of these two ideas. For thousands of years, life among the peoples of Earth has boiled down to slavery vs. freedom...and much of the time. slavery, that is, control of one group by another group, has prevailed. The original Uniqueness of America that prevailed in its developing phase,  despite opposition even then, was its Dedication to the New and Emerging Idea of Personal freedom. Few people understood it then....and few understand now how unique 'personal freedom' is on this planet. 

And so, the fight for 'personal freedom' goes on... still continues here. It goes on all over the planet today in many forms. And the sad fact is that far too few people who care about 'personal freedom', even recognize what is happening to the country 'America' or to the little understood personal Freedoms that are  taken for granted.

 And when and if 'those who care' do awaken, it may be too late. 'Freedom' as originally envisioned by the Founders of this country, may be lost to Earth, for America was the Cosmic Example. And Freedom, in America is being crucified on the social cross of full bellies and government protection. We all need to think about this. We send Representatives to State and Federal Legislatures; we think we are telling them what we want them to vote for....is this what we are asking for? We need to know! We need to understand our choices.

From the Spiritual standpoint, Freedom is a 'God-given Right'....indeed a God-Necessity. No one can properly grow, humanly or Spiritually while under a controlling force....even a benign one. 'Natural Creativity' is the Product of 'God given Free Will'....and how can 'Free Will' express itself, exuberantly, freely, except within a framework of Freedom? Additionally, how can we grow as individuals, Body or Soul, if we have personal responsibility taken away from us?

 Those of us who have or are raising children can relate to what I’m saying. We know that our children have to figure out and learn some aspects of Life by themselves or they grow up with serious deficiencies in their reasoning abilities and in hands on skills. Learning to take care of ourselves is part of our 'growing up', teaching us to become intelligent adult citizens.                 

 If someone does everything for us, we are not given the chance to try out our Creative Efforts....even if that effort is just putting food on the table. America, with its carefully crafted and divided Constitutional authority, was designed to give citizens....you and me....a place to exercise our 'God Given Creativity'.

And look at the productivity of the first two hundred years of 'free wheeling human creativity'....and now look at the quagmire of laws and regulations that hamstrings anyone of us who sets out to produce or create anything, except as another human, directed by a government regulatory agency, thinks it should be done. Assuming it is allowed at all. Which today, in many places and instances, it is not. 

 Who has built or bought a house recently....or tried to start a business...or wanted their children not to have all the shots, now mandated for them....or tried to figure out the ever changing HMO medical system....especially as designed for seniors. Accessing today's health care system is difficult. Actually, it has become a nightmare. If it ever was a 'constructive idea' meant to help people, it has now degenerated into a governmental nightmare. We have become slaves to our medical and insurance establishment who are aided by governmental regulations....regulations that are forced on us through agencies that do not answer to us, the private citizen....it is not their job to care whether we have good medical care or not....all of us have become slaves to an unworkable situation.

We can look at what happens to 'God-given Free Will' when the individual has no choices....we can look back to the debacle that was Nazi Germany....we can see what happens to our Creativity....we have seen what happens when people are forced to go against their Principles....we have historical proof of what happens when everything people do or want to do is dictated by rules and regulations put in place by 'god-less others'.

 The socialistic experiment has failed terribly in Russia and in in all countries that value personal freedom. Some modern countries have exchanged 'God given Freedom' for some strange kind of personal security...one that guarantees their physical comforts.....I wonder what people are so afraid of? Or is it more than that! 

Our world is beginning to strangle itself in a sea of human/government red tape. Spirituality is being deliberately stifled by people who don’t believe in Freedom 'for everyone'. Obviously, these people don’t know about each individuals own personal  'Godness'....or perhaps they don't care. So today we see 'citizen creativity' being stifled by a mind-set that loves to control.

Someday enough of us have to wake up to both the human and Soul impracticality and ungodliness of it all, and begin to bring Freedom back to this land of America. 

Again, I ask you to listen carefully. The desire to control someone else....no matter who it is....comes out of our human minds. The Soul-us is incapable of desiring anything but Peace and Freedom. Creativity is the Essence of the Life Force that connects us all. The Greatest Gift we can give to Life is to allow It to flow freely without distorting it ...protecting the Freedom that allows It to flow.... and insisting on Peace in our lives. 

True Peace....the love of Freedom....the love of our fellow man....compassion and caring....those Ideas are pure 'Godness'. Our Souls, when allowed to function without interference, can only be 'God-in-action'. And will provide the 'Intelligent Direction' in our lives as we need it.

The 'Higher Mind' solves problems and brings order where there is now only chaos in the Life of many people on the planet. We need to think about letting the 'Soul Mind' function, not only for our sake but for the sake of America....for the sake of Peace for all mankind.

Our Souls connect directly to the 'Mind and Heart' of the 'Being' we call our Heavenly Father'. As we learn WHO WE REALLY ARE in the Eternal Sense and know what our 'Soul Purpose and Mission' is here on Earth, we realize that we are responsible for opening the doors to Heavenly Places, doors that allow Loving, Peaceful Energy to flow over the Life Line between ourselves and the Heavenly Father.

We have said, “Let Peace begin with me”....

If we really mean it, we can begin the process just by believing in ourselves and in acknowledging the 'Godness' beating our hearts, asking to be a 'Channel for Light' to flow to Earth, and then getting on with living in that Spiritual Mind-set. By doing something so simple, right wherever we are this minute....we can greatly and quickly improve conditions on Earth. 

Let me give you again, one more time...my description of who I think “we really are” and what our purpose “really is”. Please listen....for these Ideas may take some thinking about. However, they are Ideas, if never considered before, that will change your Life.

I THINK WE ARE THAT HIGHER MIND, THAT INTUITIVE CONSCIOUSNESS, THE EMBODIED SPARK OF GOD LIGHT, WHO SURVIVES THE DEATH OF THE PHYSICAL BODY.  

I THINK WE ARE THAT INDIVIDUATED SPARK OF DIVINE LIGHT WHO, THROUGH EXPERIENCE AND EXPERIENCE ALONE....USING OUR FREE WILL TO DETERMINE THE COURSE OF OUR JOURNEY......HAVE BECOME SELF CONSCIOUS, COMPETENT SOULS READY TO TAKE ON THE WORK OF GOD WHEREVER IT NEEDS DOING. 

I THINK AT ALL TIMES IF WE ARE GETTING IT RIGHT, WE ARE ALWAYS SERVING THE PURPOSE OF EXPANDING 'GODNESS' THROUGH OUR GOOD ACTIONS.  

We came into this world, blindfolded as it were....leaving all Knowledge of why we have come on the Other Side. Sometimes it feels as though that is the only puzzle we have to solve. But WHO WE REALLY ARE is the first part of the puzzle? What we come to do is the next? And we are offered Information in many forms, through different experiences, all to help us penetrate the veils that separate us from the Answers to those questions

So we bravely undertake this Soul Journey to Earth....and using 'Universal Creative Energy', from babyhood to old age, step by step, we work our way through the incredible human/Soul “Journey of Discovery”....working out our current Earth Purpose.... while working on our Soul Destiny along the way. 

The importance of knowing WHO WE ARE is that in being aware, we know enough to ask 'God' to use us as 'Channels' to shower the Earth with the 'Cosmic Light of Peace and Freedom'. People who are aware can  consciously work to create goodness in their lives and in the Life of this nation.....and doing it without creating any fights or additional stress in the Life of the planet. Those who are aware, THOSE WHO KNOW WHO THEY AND WHAT THEIR PURPOSE IS, are asked to call for Light to clear their paths ...moment by moment. Are asked to 'promise' not send out any more hate, nor ever leave any unhappiness behind them.

Most of us believe in Angels....we then can picture 'Angels of Light' going before us, every minute of the day and night, to 'clear our Way'....to clear the Way of all those we love....and why stop there? Let’s 'clear the Way' for everyone in the world, thus preventing situations that otherwise might arise...situations that might add to the unpleasantness of the planet.

By keeping ourselves Wrapped in Light, by clearing our Way by the Power of Light, we can prevent our involvement in other people’s accidents....and many times, by the Power of the Light we have drawn about ourselves, we can prevent traumatic situations from happening to others. Many people report some amazing experiences.  

At any rate, if we’re getting it right, we’re not being part of the problem....we’re living decent, caring lives....we’re loving Life and fulfilling our mission to make Life better for all concerned, wherever we hang our hats, even if in just small ways.

Now, please think about this.

Nothing we do nor could ever do, is more important than taking care of the relationships, the people, God has entrusted to us. Can we even imagine what Life would be, could be like, if each one of us lived by that attitude....each one of us putting the other individual’s good before our own....

I think it’s called Heaven. 

So, Peace starts with each one of us, right where we are....and rarely are we asked for big sacrifices....just for some self discipline....

for some realization of WHO WE REALLY ARE

and for a Life style that honors 'God'.

 And in that Mind-set it will be as natural as breathing to pour out Love to our fellow men and women.... and to this Country, which is the last hope for Peace and Freedom at this time on this planet. Those who do not know that, are out of touch with the Reality of what’s going on here and world wide....

Please wake up....'God' needs us. Our friends and families need us. America needs us. Are we listening? 

One more important point to be brought up and it concerns what we call death. We need to talk about this because so much human energy is focused around dying.... around the fear of dying and in the grieving we do for loved ones we think are lost to us. 

Once and for all the Truth must be revealed that while death is the end of the human body, it is not the end of the Soul us. 'We' are the Spark of Life within the heart, the Electrical, Spiritual Spark that has been  channeling Consciousness and Energy into that body.

 AND THROUGH EONS OF TIME, INTO MANY OTHER BODIES WE HAVE OCCUPIED AS WE HAVE COME AND GONE ON EARTH.

 Souls are directly connected to Supreme Godness.....picture an electric wire from Boulder Dam coming directly into your house....turning the lights on in that house. And if the wire is withdrawn, the lights go out. 

The Soul is that bit of God Power/electricity that turns on the Life of a body when the Soul lives on Earth. When we, the Soul, are through with these mortal bodies, we withdraw. The Lights go out in the physical bodies and we say, someone has died. It is only the body that has been vacated....and now its elements will be returned to the Earth. As for the Soul....we are a bit of God-Consciousness and by our very Nature, we are immortal....we cannot die.   

If this is the first time you’ve heard it explained this way, it may sound strange. or it sound wonderful. or both. The conditioned human mind is accustomed to the general Christian teaching that we only get one chance....and when we die, that’s it....and we believe this if we’ve been taught only the human side of the equation.....only taught to believe in what we can see or prove for ourselves. 

But there’s some humor in this. We are the people who can believe in flying saucers, aliens, space ships to other worlds....we send probes into outer space, believing there’s something there....we’ve put men on the moon believing in something more than what we’ve seen. One would think that it would be easy for us to believe in our Unseen selves. And then if we will take the time to rationalize it, we can see for ourselves that there is no way the doctrine of “only one chance” makes any sense.

 We are a people so ready to believe in Ideas way beyond our ordinary human lives. Now, let’s give ourselves the Gift of Believing in Ourselves....in our Soul Selves....and in our total God Reality.   

Let’s  look beyond the veils humanity has hung over the Truth. There we find our Soul partner waiting to be found, waiting to be activated and integrated into the Life of the human whose body the Soul designed for Its trip here. The Soul needs a physical body to work on Earth. The human has no Life without the Soul Energy. The human was never expected to go it alone here....remember, it’s supposed to be a partnership. Why are we trying to do everything alone? What are we thinking? Why aren’t we listening to that Voice that speaks in our heads? 

And now is a good time to talk about inaudible sound we hear in our heads....and yes, if we think about it, we can all agree to having 'heard inaudible sound'. In fact, if we listen consciously, we sense talking or sound of some kind going on in our heads constantly....in fact, try turning it off.  

This is in a large part, the way our Souls try to correspond and interact with us. If we haven’t paid attention to these Heavenly Sounds before, we may, at first, find it difficult to interpret the Messages that play  around us constantly, through every ear. And even as with physical sound, we have to develop discernment in tuning into this silent sound.....asking for and choosing to hear only the 'Voices of God'  coming out of the Heavenly Worlds.

 Our Soul Voice is One of the many 'Voices of God'. 

The Heaven Worlds are many and include what are called the 'Octaves of Light'. These are in the Circles of Energy closest to what is called the 'Great Central Sun'....the 'Source of Universal Power' as it affects us....I guess we can say, closest to the Abode of the One we call God....an area where the Vibration is so high that nothing that we call evil can enter in.

 So, in desiring to contact the Invisible World, we ask to speak only to Those Whose Homes are in these High Heaven Worlds

 If we still have human energy to clean up, or unfinished projects on Earth....or work we still want to do on Earth, then we go to those Beings where we get the Instruction needed for what ever comes next.

 If Heaven is our goal, we have to clean up and raise the Rate of Vibration of our Energy. At the time we cast off the physical body, we, the Soul, will be magnetized to the Circle or Plane of Energy that corresponds to our Vibration....in fact a place may have to be created for us, if that is needed for our continued growth.  

And despite all the theory to the contrary, there is no element of punishment in any of this. It is simply that the Soul goes from the physical body, in its Spirit body, to the Energy level that helps It take the next step of Its Journey.

 That’s another reason for staying inside that 'Wall of Steely White Light' all the time....and for asking Angels to stay around us to protect us and help us. We are responsible for asking for both help and protection.....we are responsible for our lives....and accidents we experience are usually caused by our neglecting to protect the physical body.

And if we lose our bodies, we Souls lose our immediate opportunities on earth. It’s very important to take care of the physical body. And it’s shocking how many don’t take good care of our bodies.  

Getting back to the subject of 'listening'. Most of us are clairaudient or can easily become so. What I found is, simply, if I listen, I hear....but the rule I made for myself, early on, was, as I have explained above, is that I will listen only to Those from the High Octaves of Light....Beings like Jesus, Mother Mary, any of the Saints or Exalted Beings of any religion or land.....or any of the Angel Life that we all have around us. All else I tune out.

There’s a lot of Spirit Life....with all kinds of axes to grind. And thus another reason for constantly filling our 'Bubble of Light' with 'Christ Light'....keeping it tightly around ourselves and those we love....and do not forget to protect America.

 Nothing evil can penetrate the Christ Light. Jesus gives us that Information....and offers us the use of His Energy for our human protection and for our Soul Growth.  

If any energy you contact doesn’t feel good or safe, quickly ask God to remove it, take it back where it belongs and never let it approach you again. We have to give that Command to Life. We do have control of our lives and must exercise that control. Nobody does it for us....and we simply must not fail to protect ourselves. It’s as simple as asking for it.

And when we have that figured out, we’re ready to listen for the Music of the Angels, the 'Voice of Jesus' and All Those we associate with that Ministry....and the many, many Others....we could make a very long list of all the 'Greater Life' that waits to be invited to serve us....All Those Who are waiting to be invited to help us....They can do nothing without that Invitation.

So let's invite Them into our lives....and get quiet and listen. First we listen for the Voice of our Soul self, which is the Voice of our own Holy Christ Self and the Voice of our own I AM Presence. Try to remember that all the Above is part of the Cosmic Package that is the enduring Us.

 As we speak to those Three Levels of our own individual Life, in our mind’s eye we visualize the Powerful Energy coming from Them, flowing in around us, enfolding the Energy of our physical bodies. This is so very real....so close to us....I hope you will try this out.   

I believe while on earth, we can be one, Body and Soul....a Divine Partnership. Imagine never feeling alone or frightened again....imagine the Soul no longer waiting to be invited or allowed to help.  

I believe its just a matter of asking God what we can do to serve...and then exuberantly living all the adventures that will come our way....some challenging.... all worthwhile. This planet is an amazing place....and while most of us come again and again over thousands of years, perhaps some of you will only pass this way once...you don’t want to miss anything. 

I believe our 'God Presence'....'the One made in the image of God', our 'True and complete Nature', waits to be allowed to speak or sing through us....then we only have to listen.....and learn....in order to be all we are intended to be, On Earth and in Heaven. 

These are valuable Spiritual Concepts....not absorbed in one sitting.... but slowly knitted into the fabric of our Consciousness, where They they will gradually fill in the missing pieces in our  Ideas about Ourselves.

 Albert Einstein said,

THE KNOWLEDGE OF MAN IS STILL IN ITS INFANCY.

HOWEVER, WE LIVE IN A TIME WHEN IT’S INTENDED THAT WE WILL BEGIN TO UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF OWN INHERENT, INTERIOR SOULNESS 

WE WILL COME TO APPRECIATE OUR HUMAN NATURE....AND WHILE STILL HAVING MUCH TO LEARN ABOUT THE TRUE NATURE OF OUR SOULS, WE ARE SENSING THE MAJESTY THAT WILL ONE DAY BE OURS, AS WE GLIMPSE  WHO WE REALLY ARE... 

IN TIME WE WILL COME TO KNOW THAT 'ALL LIFE IS GOD'....

AND REVERENCE AND GRATITUDE TO LIFE EXPANDS ITS BLESSINGS AND MAKES IT MORE WONDERFUL.  

Now to conclude with the words of another writer....who says it this way....(ECP) 

”It remains for the individual to acknowledge that 'God' is in him and that in Truth, his Identity includes....in the totality and Oneness of Being and in the 'externalization of the Flame of Immortality'....both the 'Son of God'....which is his 'Holy Christ Self'....and the 'God of very Gods' which is his 'I AM Presence'.

The words 'I AM' EMBODY THIS CONCEPT:  FOR EVEN WHEN MAN DECLARES, 'I AM' HE IS AFFIRMING BELOW (ON EARTH) THE VERY NATURE OF HIS DIVINE BEING ABOVE.

Thus, in the daily use of the verb “to be” he (man) is declaring his existence and his reason for being....which is to integrate with the Beingness of God and to know the bliss of the I AM consciousness.”   

This writer continues....”It is therefore Blasphemous to deny the Power of God by using the various tenses of the verb “to be” to lay claim, by the power of His Name, I AM, to lesser human qualities by saying “I am sick, I am weary, I am bored, I am angry, I am afraid and so forth....for in doing so, you empower these conditions of relativity with the Light, the Energy and Consciousness of the One whose name is

 I AM THAT I AM.

 Why not affirm instead, the Immortal Truth of Being....by saying “Lo I AM 'God' in manifestation everywhere” In doing this, you are stating a far more accurate description of your true divine Selfhood.” End of quote.
