Reality
(Use bar at bottom
of page to center text)
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, everyone, Welcome
to the Modern Mystic. I'm here again to continue sharing Spiritual
thoughts and Ideas that speak to our all being 'links in the Great Chain of
Ensouled Humanity', all individual, unique Souls animating these physical bodies...
thus, creating the
human/Soul Partnership.
Today the great
need is to understand how everything we do has an effect upon all Life, human
and Spirit.... how today the great need is to work for an Awakened and
Enlightened human/Soul Partnership.
It is time for each one of us
to reach
out to help anyone who comes our way in need of help....each one of us caring
terribly about our fellow humans and Souls....
each working to further
the Ideal of Brotherhood,
and doing it, Knowing
that we are each a 'working part' of the Greater and Infinite Life of the
Universe.
In order to change our
human way of
looking at Life we need Spiritual Information. Then we have to be open to that
Information.
Once we know what to do,
we then have the Responsibility to use that Knowledge to fulfill both our human
as well as our Sacred Soul Purpose.
Today securing
Peace and Freedom for the Planet is the Sacred Work of our time.
To that end, Powerful New Information is now being anchored here for our use. We
have but to find it, and choose to use it.
Two thousand years ago,
One we know as 'Jesus' opened the door to Freedom and Peace on Earth....some
progress has been made in the past two thousand years but there is yet much to
do.
It’s time to do our
part....time to stand up and say:...
LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH AND
LET IT BEGIN WITH ME.
The thoughts for this
program came from an Essay I called simply, “Reality”.
But before we begin,
let’s take this moment to visualize around ourselves, Body and Soul, our Bubble of Silence,
all surrounded by a Wall of Powerful Blazing, Crystal Clear Light.
Today, let’s add inside
that Wall of Light, a spiraling Violet Flame....spiraling around our four earth
bodies, spiraling up to and beyond our Holy Christ Selves....in this way we have added the Violet
Flame to the radiating Christ Love we've already established here.
Now let that Sacred Fire
spread out beyond us to all we hold near and dear.
We can put
everything and anything in the Light. We can
hold everything in the
Luminous Presence of a Master Being or Angel which is the Light and Essence of
that Being ....where it will be
permanently protected.
We can see that Universal
God-Light
expanding out
to enfold the
entire Earth and all the people.
We can see the
'Light of God that Never Fails' ending
all 'lack of Love'
EVERYWHERE ON THE PLANET.
Now, again we'll wrap ourselves in
the Heart Light of God....
And see that pure, opalescent Light
spiraling around ourselves.
We open our minds to the
Highest Information Channels
As we invite Christ Light to stream
forth into our lives
That we may become Channels for
Light and Illumination
and Peace to descend to Earth.
I began the program
today, by saying that we not only need new information to progress in any
endeavor, but that we have to be open to that information....we have
to be willing to learn....we have to be willing to change.
This is true of all our
schooling....of all the processes we go through to learn. Today we are learning
it’s time to change some of our thinking about man and God....time to change our ways of living on this
Planet....
We have to be
willing to give up some
of our human self-interest. We have to be ready to care about each
other, at least as much as we care about ourselves. If we can do this, in time, we
will put pleasuring' our human selves second to simply serving Life in whatever form we encounter
It.
In examining modern
life....and probably ancient life as well....the Reality is that most people
tailor their lives to fit what they consider their needs, often to the
exclusion of the needs of anyone else....including often, close family members.
The focus of the average one of us is almost exclusively on what
WE
like and don’t like.
The Element of caring
about others, rarely enters the picture at the humanistic level. A
great many modern people, men and women and children cannot relate to caring
about anyone or anything but themselves.
And for the most part, most
individuals haven’t a clue as
to
WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT.
A sad commentary in this
age of 'massive education'.
Now, today, modern mankind is being
asked to focus on Peace...on Peace and Freedom for all.... without which
no progress, human or Spiritual can take place.
Meanwhile people the world
over, 'chatter', in small groups and in great World Councils, almost incessantly
about Peace.
A few
wonder why Peace remains such an illusive ingredient in our lives....wonder why
every home isn’t a peaceful home....why every business, isn't a peaceful
prosperous business....why every country isn't a peaceful country, prosperous
country.
And while many are talking....aimlessly in
circles....others are busy building massive warring
capability with which to either threaten and/or attack their neighbors, while causing
others to build war machines with which to protect themselves from those who
pose a threat to Peace.
It is a vicious
circle....a well thought out plan by those who benefit greatly from mankind's
ability to wage war on one hand and the necessity of others to defend
themselves.
The Reality is that most
people, whoever and wherever they are, don’t know what Peace really is....or how Peace can
become the norm in their lives, especially when so much of daily life is lived
by most people of the world in
a warring, jungle mentality....one where all the unpleasant aspects of human behavior are
considered normal....
where lying and cheating
is okay in international business, in the world media and in private life
everywhere....
where so-called
'religious' violence caused
by ancient ethnic hatred is okay....
where abusive behavior among
men and women....wives, husbands and children....is okay....
where governmental
abuse, universally
and 'planned' economic
debacles and wars are okay.
In most societies today
these attitudes are acceptable norms....the daily fare of many on
this Planet.
Business success means the survival of the fittest
and strongest,
and sadly,
often of the most cunning and clever and 'evil'.
Many schools
have ceased to 'educate'....opting instead to focus on social issues....many
teach Darwin animalism in place of the Spiritual Dignity embodied in mankind. Schools
have become places where nothing that is Spiritualizing is allowed.
In those places where
today's ungodly educators have complete control of school curriculum, what is
taught and what is tolerated justifies any animalistic behavior of
mankind.....its desires....and its cruelty.
So, today's human reality
revolves around modern mankind justifying its actions. Most people the world
over have chosen to accept the
humanistic brainwashing and are content to see themselves
as animal evolutions....for now, to those brainwashed people the daily warring, jungle
animal mentality appears normal....they have accepted it as 'normal'. It seems natural and
thus, is okay.
Fortunately there
is a growing group of people who are awake, Body and Soul, who do not see
themselves as 'evolved animals'. They see themselves, first and foremost, as Spiritual Beings...as
embodied Souls at work here on Earth. They see themselves as a human being
and Spiritual Being all rolled up into one package....a human/Soul Partnership
In America we have more
churches per square mile than anywhere in the world. One might conclude from
that, that we are the most Spiritual people on earth....and perhaps, judging by
the Way 'God' uses Americans to help others, we may
be....or certainly could be....
BUT
if we are, it appears in many quarters to be a momentarily 'arrested or confused Spirituality'....
and the True God Nature of each one of us....
Today’s Spirituality
stops short of teaching us how the Knowledge of our Soulness automatically
teaches us
the difference between ourselves and the jungle animals....
stops short of telling us
that the Spiritualize Life is the Reality.
For a very long time,
True Spirituality has been 'deleted' from most minds, by organized, predigested
and humanly defined religion and by atheism (animalism), in this country as well
as elsewhere.
Fortunately, everyone has an opinion
about him or herself as a human being and many think about what they should or shouldn’t be
doing....most people have some ideas about a Supreme Being....or lack there-of, as the case may be,
so all that is lacking is a definitive idea about
WHO THEY REALLY ARE.
So let's think about that.
Whether we admit it or
not, we all have a deep desire and need to know more about the Spirit side of
our lives.
Whether we admit it or
not, we long to know more about Universal Godness and how all Its Aspects fit together
here on Earth.
Many of us believe
in and think
it’s time to start a search for our personal Spiritual Self....
think it's time to see ourselves as
more than the struggling human being...
think it's time to
get to know the Real Us ....the
enduring Us....the Immortal Part of Us that doesn’t die when our physical body dies.
SPARKS OF GOD
and then see the Soul as the
Consciousness, or Higher Mind within that Spark ....
is it possible we could soon
see 'Soulness' at work as an integral part of every human life....the part that would like
to Light our human Way....IF
THE HUMAN US WILL JUST ALLOW
IT.
Get a picture of this in
your mind’s eye.
We, Body and Soul, a Divine Partnership, riding the
waves together, parting the seas, serving man on Earth and God in His Heavens
. What wonderful
visualization!
We, Body
and Soul, a dynamic duo!
This is Reality....
IF WE, THE HUMAN BEING WILL ALLOW
IT TO HAPPEN.
But, where do we start,
how do we start to convince ourselves that this is so?
Well, for a starter, we
can begin to put aside negative concepts of the human us. Simply stop
believing all the critical, judgmental 'gobble de gook' about what human life is
or isn’t, as imagined or programmed for us, by our religious, scientific and
other modern experts.
They don't have all
the answers....we know that by looking at the state of the world....and we can
certainly chart our own course. We couldn't make any more mistakes than they do!
It is obvious that
what they are “believing“ about us...about our human sinfulness....our animal
natures....isn’t working...obviously it isn’t working for us....look at the
state of the world!
Maybe, it works for
them for it keeps us under their negative control....but it is not good for us.
We only have to look at
what’s going in our lives and in the lives of most of the people of this Planet and
examine for ourselves the philosophy of the current educational and religious or
irreligious communities to see the dangerous nonsense they're teaching and
preaching isn't working except for the 'devil'.
So maybe this is the time we
start examining our lives....start looking at our thoughts....analyzing our feelings
and start asking ourselves why we are doing and feeling any particular way....perhaps
it's time to simply take time to analyze our actions and reactions to see where
'we' may be the problem.
Much of what we will find out
about ourselves will be very humanistic....at first that can be discouraging if
we’re trying to find the more Spiritual aspect of ourselves. But it’s part of
what we have to do as we try to get control of our actions....we are going for a
Life with no more fighting
with the wife/husband and/or kids....no more depression and anger and hate....aren't
we?
Rather it's always
working for the Peace we long for.
I clearly remember
earlier years when life got hectic and sometimes frightening....and I didn’t
always keep it together, slamming a door or two....yelling at children....
anger....fear....frustration....
but thankfully there was
always the Desire to stay connected to God.
Sometimes I even yelled at God....saying
things like, “I just can’t get this together....my life is really a mess”.
So as is the case for
most of us, I found my human
nature hard to manage...finding it obstreperous and willful at time....
and I thought of God,
happy in His Heaven and there I was on Earth struggling, struggling,
struggling....for you see, then, I hadn’t yet learned to recognize the closeness
of the Soul Self in my daily life. I didn’t know accessible It's Help was every
minute of every day.
I didn't know I was
struggling far too hard....didn't know it isn’t all that difficult to develop this
perfectly natural human/Soul Partnership.
And that Information is one of our missing 'Instructional links'.
However in most of us and
even in the worst of us, that 'Spark of God' is always continuing to try to
'shine through our
human fog', trying to help us get it right. And in the beginning, from time to time,
we do see and get a feeling of 'what’s right'.....it's a matter of hanging onto
those bits of Soul Energy as It touches us.
We all know that
'Persistence' is the key to anything we wish to achieve....and so if we’re
sincerely looking for that “Spiritual part of us”, we work very hard to hang
onto and cultivate the 'Higher Qualities' as we glimpse Them flowing in our lives....
saying, ah-ha, that’s
what I’m looking for....
that’s how I want to feel
all the time....
that how I want to
behave, all the time..”
Now we’ve got something
positive to hang our hats on....we’ve found that little bit of extraordinary
Goodness that has managed to shine through our normal actions.
In time we recognize that
It’s the Real-us, the Soul us, trying to get a word in edgewise, as the saying
goes.
Then, it’s up to the
human us, for humanly we have the choice to believe that we have a Spiritual
Identity.
And we start by choosing
to believe there's a Part of us that never dies. That then leads us to believe
in our Core Spiritual Selves. And from there we begin to see something in
ourselves that is a 'Spark of Powerful Beauty and Energy'. And finally to give
It a name.
When the time of
Recognition came for me, I called my Spiritual Identity 'a Bit
of Godness' and saw It as having been spun off millennia ago from some Greater Godness. And
because it felt appropriate, I called It
'Soul'...a part of the Christ Self that exists and works within in a physical body.
Thus I came to
see 'Soulness' as a Small
Part of Major Supreme Beingness. Now I felt I could say
WHO THE CONSCIOUS PART OF 'ME' REALLY WAS.
And there are at least a
million descriptions and definitions of 'Soul'. I finally had had to come up with
a definition that worked for me and this is one of the ways I still check myself
to see which one of my “two levels of Self ” is at work in my Life at any given
moment.
In checking we can always
separate the “two selves” by what they say....
Our human self says, “I have a
Soul”....
The Soul-self says, “I am
a Soul”.
As much as possible
we want to stay in the Soul mode or mind-set.
Let’s imagine ourselves
as small Soul Sparks. We’ve been evolving for countless ages in the many far flung regions of the Universe where
we gradually develop our personality and gradually realize our special Purpose
and Destiny.
OK....let’s imagine that
one day....again, millennia ago....the Supreme Being called us into
HIS or HER
Presence and asked us to go on a Mission. If we agree to that Mission we will
have to leave the Heavenly Spirit Regions.
Imagine....we Spirit
Souls are being asked to embody and work out of human vessels,
on a Planet called Earth....there to become the Driving, Directing God-Force and
Intelligence. We will have to figure out and carry out all that will
transpire on Earth.
We must choose, of
our own Free will, to go to Earth. We aren’t being forced or sent. We understand
that we will be wearing that heavy, human Earth Body, and we will be doing the
Work 'God' has in mind for the evolution and 'evolutions' of that Planet.
Now imagine we agree to
do this. And for millennia, some of us, many of us, have been coming in and out
of embodiment on Earth....wearing out one Earth Suit after another as we learn
the ropes here.
We Souls are growing in Wisdom....at
the same time the human body is being evolved
on Earth into a more Perfect Instrument for our use. Part of the evolving
process has been teaching the human what the Soul Journey is all about....and
gradually letting it, the human, make some decisions.
Remember, we (the Soul)
are developing a working Partnership with our human vehicle. We’re learning to
be at home in the material world....in fact, after a time, some of us are
getting too infatuated with the material world....and we are beginning to
forget our real home and Purpose.
And unfortunately,
some of us let the human mind become too powerful....sometimes arrogant....until finally
one day, the human partner thinks it doesn’t need its 'God Soul' anymore.
Doesn't need 'God' anymore in any context.
It, the human, can do it all by
itself, thank you very much....
and we, the Soul are
pushed aside.
Then, when we try to give
advice and help, we aren’t listened to. And there we are, (the Soul is), trapped
in a physical body....no
longer having the ability to control what that human does.
How, now do we get our
human’s attention again....for we must get that human’s attention....that human is our
responsibility for it is the vehicle we have helped to develop in order to work on
Earth....and it has locked us out
of its life....'"help', We, the Soul cry, 'God...help me!"
Yes, that is the Soul crying out to
'God' for help....and that is the State of the Relationship most
Souls have today with the physical body they have helped to design for Their use on
Earth. The Soul struggles always in the hope that It can gain and keep the attention of the
human partner so that working together, the Soul can then get on with Its Mission.
Remember: All Souls have
a
Mission....and each One of us is working on a Divine Mission all the time whether we know it
or not....and that often in addition to whatever other work we are destined to do as we play
our part on Earth....either as human Being or Soul.
So, in this program I go
over and over some of the basic Spiritual Ideas on which I have built my
Life....on which I would stake my life....believing that if we can change the
way we think about ourselves
....from basic human to 'basic Spiritual'
....we can change the way
Life is lived on Earth.
Many feel that
basic consciousness is
beginning to change....witness some of the Inspirational programs on TV, some
getting top rating, programs about Angels and Miraculous happenings....movies
about reincarnation...historical programs about ancient views of Man and God...I think we
may say that many of us are waking up from “a long, fitful, human sleep”.
I, for one, long
to see people energized and enthused about redeeming the planet, God’s Way....
Enthused about bringing
order into our current social, economic and political situations, God’s Way....
I long to see people
focused on personal and national Freedom and Peace for all....
Focused on seeing
problems solved through seeking a Spiritual Answer rather than relying on the
old unreliable human answers.
Personally, I’m ready for the end to
the terrible suffering that has been inflicted upon the people of the
Planet as the human mind
and means have been used to solve problems.
It’s time to raise
the Vibration of the Energy of this Planet.
Until now most of us have thought of ourselves
only as human beings, now we are feeling the responsibility to
'bring God' back into the human/Soul Act....and the human hasn't known how to do
this.
Many still don't know that
the human-us was
never intended to do anything alone....that from the Beginning, the Soul was to
be the Director of Life on Earth.
And now we are talking about Spiritual Work
that can only be done
through the combined efforts of Body and Soul, working together, joining
together in Unity with other Aspects of 'Godness'...physical man and 'God' in
the Form of the Soul Spark, now working together on
Earth.
We are learning that by these Efforts,
we can raise the vibration of Energy here, not only of our physical and Soul Bodies,
but of the very air we breathe and everything that exists in this physical
world.
We can raise Energy
here to a State of Purity in which no 'evil' of any kind can exist.
This is the way
we are to solve our problems...
It is by
setting aside all faulty humanness of every kind.
This Concept of Soul Expansion is basic to God's Program for raising the Vibration of the physical Earth to that of a Place
of Higher Spiritual Vibration. The Cosmic Plan will re-create another 'Garden
of Eden' here if/when the Energy of the physical plane is 'raised/speeded up'
and purified.
This will be the place where Enlightened Soulness can continue its Journey in
the future.....a place where the vibration is high enough and pure enough so
that 'evil' (that which is less than Christ like) cannot exist here. A place where all the pain and suffering of the
human being will be unknown because the vibration of pain and suffering is very
low.
I call that something worth working for.
So, as I see it, we are
all involved in
an on going COSMIC PLAN
for this Planet. We are the complement of people/Souls designated for this Planet.
The implementation of the Divine Plan for the Planet and for us requires our Awareness and Understanding.
The Planet desperately
needs help today. The vibration of the Energy is slow and sluggish....Life in
many forms here is sluggish, heavy, often unpleasant...the atmosphere is full of
dirty human consciousness that has soiled God's Pure Energy.
We need to introduce more
Cosmic Light into the Energy Stream of this Planet...to speed it up. This is
done by each one of us as we let our Light shine and as we ask 'Greater Godness'
to blaze more Light here.
What we do, minute by minute, by our thoughts, feelings and
actions, affects the vibration of the Energy here...of our bodies and
lives....of the lives of everything and everybody that is connected with this
Planet. We can foul the energy or we can make it shining
and bright....
it‘s one of those choices I talk about...
and, we have to believe that any Cosmic Plan for this Planet can only be
implemented through each one of us.
For we are the Channels for
'Godness' to flow to the Planet.
Remember:
I want to say again that
the Energy of Peace is a very high vibration, while that of hate, in all its
forms, is a very low vibration. And again ask the question, “What prevents Peace
from being the normal way of life on this planet?”....
And suggest, again, the
answer to that question lies in the human greed that rules the planet.
War is commercial. And Peace is not.
It's time to recognize that
the constant warring
that goes on among and between people and countries is job security for millions
of people. It has been this way for quite some time....may it not always be so.
Those who understand this
situations, in all its subtle and not so subtle forms
know that the focus must
always be on personal Inner Peace if we are to have Peace on the Planet and in
our daily lives.
And for a number of good
reasons....but none so important as that, it is True Inner Peace that
gives us the strength to withstand the onslaught of the godless ideas (evil) and
activities to which we are exposed every day of our lives...in one form or
another.
As we focus on Peace, we
work very hard not to be a part of the problem.....learning to quiet our own
warring human desires and actions while we and Consciously awaken our human to
an interest in
Spiritual Ideas....especially in Peace and
Freedom.
Then with our human at
Peace, the Soul-mind can take control and give some Direction.
It is only in a PEACEFUL
STATE OF MIND that we
find our God Identity....
that we recognize
WHO WE REALLY ARE,
Body and Soul.
It is the Soul’s
Journey....the human is only the helper....
It's time to
put the horse back in front of the cart.
Now, one more time...what I call my Mission/Vision
statement.
It’s been awhile since I
mentioned this singular experience that brought me to the point of 'taking pen
in hand' to think through my Spiritual Belief...and then finding a way to take
those Ideas farther out.
Late one night about many
years ago, while reading a book in which the writer was explaining certain
mystical ideas around the 'Person of God'....and using very complicated theological terms to do
it....I found myself reading and re-reading certain passages, finally thinking,
“for Heavens sakes, what
does all this mean?”
My normal process has
always been to turn to the Higher Mind to help solve problems and to get
answers....and so I found myself saying, “'God', does it have to be this
difficult to understand You?”
I put the book down
and went to sleep.
Several mornings later, I
sensed a Presence in my room....I glanced up and saw what I call “a Luminous
Presence of Jesus”.
Speaking out loud I
spoke to Him, asking Him what He wanted me to do for I also sensed He had some
Work for me.
His answer flowed back on
a large Thought,
the gist of which
was this singular Message.
AND KEEP IT SIMPLE
“.
At that moment as the
Vision faded, I had no Idea what He was asking for....or if and when I figured
that out, if I could do what He asked.
However I had been doing
some causal writing....jotting down thoughts and ideas for quite some time,
trying to sort out theological and religious Ideas....trying to figure out
Theologians were actually trying to tell us.
I’d been studying
and applying some of the Newer Spiritual Thinking much of my Life. It always had
seemed to me that a time might come when I would be asked to share those Ideas.
Now all those questions
have been answered about how to 'go to my Christians'....for here are my
Thought, available to the world, just as I bring Them through from Great Beings
like 'Jesus' and as they come through my own Christ Mind....which is the Way all
can access Truth.
Some of these Ideas may
not only be new to many...but, perhaps too metaphysical....too mystical...too
far out of the mainstream thinking of our day....but in looking for answers, we
have to open our minds to new ideas.
I was reluctant to
'go public'....but, believed I would be guided to the
right words....and that my Pathway would be directed.
And so I am trying to keep
these thoughts and Ideas
as simple as possible, believing there
is no way to correct conditions on Earth until people know
WHO THEY REALLY ARE....
and I'm dedicated to trying to explain our 'Godness' in ways and in words that
anyone can understand....believing that it’s time to explain the 'Power
we call 'God'' in Ways that be understood by the smallest child, by the least as well as
the most educated of minds.....believing it’s
time to give the whole and true Teaching of 'Jesus' to all the people.
It’s now time to let Him
speak individually to each one....and let each heart interpret His Message.
It’s time for the
Truth about about Who He Was as a physical being and Who He is as an Ascended
Being of Light....
it's time to stop
the controversy about His Ministry....and let His Words speak for Themselves.
Anyone can ask for and
listen for His Voice....remember, He said, “I will never leave you....I am
with you always....”
We have but to
listen for Him
and believe in His Desire
to help us.
And we do not need
anyone telling us how to do that.
It’s always our choice.

Remember:
It's time to change the way we
treat each other. one
that stops short of preparing the human being to live a Spiritualized life....one that stops short of
revealing the True Nature of God one that stops short of
identifying the 'Spark of Light' embedded in every human heart as the 'Bit of
Godness' that is each one's 'working Soul Partner'....one that stops
short of revealing how it is we are as human beings, a separate, special species....very
different from the jungle animals. Is it possible we could
soon begin to see ourselves as But first we have to know
that It exists.
Now let’s play a game. It’s time to bring
God into the Act. But it is really up to
each one of us.
'GOD' CAN ONLY DO FOR US OR
THE PLANET WHAT CAN BE DONE THROUGH US. IT DOES NO GOOD TO SIT AROUND WAITING
FOR SOMEONE TO DO IT FOR US. If we
will allow it, the Soul will take the lead in directing the daily activity of
our lives, leading us to a Spiritual State of Mind we can now hardly
imagine....and with it comes an understanding and an appreciation of just how
extraordinary this human experience really is. “Go” He said, “Go to my
Christians
