Motivated By Spirit

Today I will have a look at the levels of conscious­ness, and how they change even from moment to moment.   Within me I have noticed ranges of consciousness that would appear to be the raving acts of a deranged manic depressive. If they were not within my own mind I would call the people in white coats to take the offender away. Take my response when someone pushes one of my buttons. There I was, a few moments before thinking the most lofty of thoughts, driving along and suddenly someone does what I think is a very stupid act. The vengeful punishing angel surfaces right there in my mind, while the angry driver hits her horn.   All within a few seconds. I have traveled from the accepting accommodating child of God to this insane person who, if she could, would arrest the offending driver, toss him in jail and throw away the key.   Admittedly those incidents are not as frequent as they used to be, but occasionally I have them. I have ascribed their infrequency, ei...

One thought which keeps coming up and which seems needful to explore at this time, as so many of us are aware of it in one way or another. It is the matter of the incoming spiritual awakening that is happening all over the planet at this time. This great awakening is being experienced as many and varied activities and feelings. Some of these feelings may not seem spiritual at all in their outward manifesta­tion. But every church, mosque, synagogue, temple and meeting hall is reporting increasing numbers of new people coming to their gatherings and asking for answers. Books on spiritual experiences and angels are topping the best sellers list, and unabashedly people are turning to within themselves by whatever means they find comfortable to satisfy this urge to transcend where they are now.     In The Teachings this time in our experience is said to be the second coming of the Christ. There are factions who believe that this second coming is the return of Jesus ...

Love is one of the most misunderstood of concepts we have. It is often used in the enslaving processes we all tend to engage in from time to time. What is this thing called love, and why is there such a fuss about it? Love is everything and in all things. Love is the very substance which forms our bodies and holds those bodies together in space.  The ancient Greek language had a finer definition of the major mani­festations of love than does modern English. In today’s usage, the word love is used for any, and every, manifestat­ion of affection. While love defines affection, it in no way testifies to the degrees and qualities affection may take. The Greek word AGAPE means unconditional love. It implies a love that is without concern for behavior, size, race, gender, national origin, or sexual preference. In English that same word is agape , meaning open. I truly like the twist it has taken.  Unconditional love is open and accepting of every aspect of the beloved, al...

I awoke this morning with the lyrics of this song floating in my mind. It is a popular song from my youth. I quote the whole song here with its creators listed at the bottom. That secret love is one we all share. It ought not to be a secret, but it is so large we fear to touch it. This is the love the Great Creator shared with us at the moment of our creation. It is the very flesh of our flesh, the air we breathe and the songs we sing. We are this secret love. As we know this we can ‘shout it from the highest hills’ and speak it to golden daffodils. This is our transformation waiting to happen. Find your secret now!  The line which stands out for me is "Became impatient to be free..."  Our great love is longing to be free to deliver to our experience the truth of our being. It wants out! It is our salvation and our liberation from the tragic sense of separation. It wants to be free and we simply have to allow it to do so. Our not so secret love is seeking us. “...

You see I did not create myself.   That may come as a surprise to most people, as because of our absolute conformance to the social consciousness, there are a lot of folks who think they created themselves. Those who have this opinion live lives having no impact or meaning outside of themselves. That is one of the biggest lies there ever will be. It is the lie which says we were separate from each other and the force that created us.   I for one am very glad that I did not create myself, but have the opportunity to express the Creator’s perfect creation in my everyday life. That is the gift of free will. I can express as much, or as little, of my Divine Nature as I choose. Well brother, I am choosing to express all of it and in this incarnation, to boot! T here is an absolute plan for each of us to fulfill. That plan holds the blueprint for a perfecting planet and perfecting the beings upon that planet. We call that perfecting planet paradise, and all of us wa...
