No Need To Fight Against Violence

I hardly watch the news, but when I do, there is usually some tragedy happening, like a bombing of children, or the genocide of a race of people. Whenever the media interviews witnesses, they always speak of how they just don’t understand why such things have to happen. Their human minds simply cannot fathom the purpose behind it all. That is because they have not yet begun to live through the consciousness of the Spirit; they are still only postulating their world with the limited data that has been planted in their physical mind. My daughter mentioned to me that two kids she met wanted to start a chain letter advocating World Peace. But as I considered the state of the world, I could see that fighting for peace would not yield peace.

The reason is this:

We do not have world peace because people do not actually want it. If they did, we would have it. As a population, we can have whatever we wish. There is no one to stop us if we truly desired peace. If violent leaders announced they would be peaceful and not start wars from now on, which people would rise up and say, "We will not let you be peaceful!" No one would. We are not forced to be violent, we choose to be. After all, we create destruction and there is no one stopping that.

This is our world; we are a global community and no one Lords over us from the moon making us behave certain ways; it is us alone. Sure, there are those that want peace; however, a peaceful person cannot force someone who wants war, chaos and violence to act otherwise. If we "force" someone to do something then we are no longer peaceful, we are forceful. If we fight against those who are already fighting, that just puts the entire world at war.

So what can you do if you are angry or bothered about the unrest and violence of the globe? 

First, let us look at these marvelous words:

"You don't Have a Soul.

You Are a Soul.

You Have a body."

- C.S. Lewis

So, knowing that all of us are first Souls, we know that we are divine and perfect in our nature, and that the things we do with our bodies do not reflect who we really are. Even the most insane, obscene or violent things we do, are just experiences we, as souls, want to accomplish. To accept this idea, you first have to believe that your Soul can see the outcome to every choice it makes in advance, because nothing is invisible or unknown to the Soul; which rules out anything happening by mistake, accident, happenstance or luck.

That means that, all things that violent people do, are done because they wanted the outcome of it, and nothing a peaceful person does can change that. There is no possible way to thwart the will of another Soul. Naturally, peaceful people can lock up violent people in an attempt to control them, and that makes peace lovers feel better. But even that hasn't overthrown the will of the violent person, for the Spirit that is directing its body to do violent things could already see that the outcome would be imprisonment. The Soul was not taken by surprise. Being locked up or put to death as a result of its actions was an outcome that the Soul accepted when it first decided to do violent things with its body.

Remember, the human mind only knows what it is given by the Spirit. The body is a slave to the Spirit. You know this is true because, when the Soul relinquishes the body, the body cannot decide to get up and continue to live. The body cannot make a decision to leave the morgue and go buy a car. The body responds solely to the Spirit's demands. The body and human mind are the tools the Spirit uses to create experience. The body is temporary and turns to dust, therefore cannot be judged for its part in the experiences. The Soul is a Divine being of Light; and since light cannot separate from itself, and was created by the Source of All Light, judgment of the light cannot occur, lest the Creator judges Itself.

In essence, then, protesting against violence is not necessary. You should only engage in a fight against something if it is an experience you wish to have, having already let go of the outcome. Just keep in mind that we are all having our own experiences for our own reasons, and you cannot force your beliefs or desires upon others. And know that everything that is happening, no matter how much it offends, hurts, scares, angers, or destroys you - it is all happening perfectly.

The Community of All That IS

I can remember being told throughout my life that in order to be accepted by God, I had to first accept the son of God, which is taught to be Jesus. In religion, Jesus is the only known son of God. But in spirituality, we know that everyone is a son and a daughter of God. Not because God is a man and impregnated, by supernatural means, a plethora of virgins, but because there is but One Supra Consciousness that delegates levels of itself into subordinate consciousnesses for the purpose of self discovery.

The paradox of saying that God is the sons and daughters of Itself, makes sense because God is all there is; or in other words, God is One Spirit with many levels of awareness about itself as a whole, so that every point of view can be achieved from a seemingly outside perspective.

Every level of knowing is represented in the whole of God. This is true even with those who do not believe in God at all. Naturally, there is nothing wrong with not believing in God or a Creator. There is no punishment in this. The non-believer will still end up, after separating from the body, in the same place the most devout Christian or other believer will end up. This is because we are already in the place we will end up, as I talked about earlier.

The belief in God or not is irrelevant to everything. In fact, it is the non-believer in traditional religion or the atheist that is closer to the truth, for God is not the God the vast majority believes it to be. Of course, to proclaim that there is no Creator is unreasonable since even a non-believer can see that something exists. They know this because they are standing on the Earth; they are using a body; they can see that things are created. They just have no idea who or what created it so they resort to absurdity.

However, they are correct when they say that the current illustrated version of God does not exist. Let me just say first that we can create whatever portrait of God we wish and it will not matter. Spirit will continue to be Spirit no matter what we consider it to be, but to claim it as the ultimate truth and then persecute others for not believing in your truth, extremely limits ones consciousness.

There is no one person that is God. God is simply an idea that describes a much larger conception. People call the name of God and instantly think of a person, since all of us have names that describe us. And since we all appear to be individual, and since someone told us that we were created in the image of God, whenever someone says the word God, the mind believes it to be the representation of the single, most powerful being that ever dug a canyon, filled an ocean or painted a sky blue.

But in reality, the word God falls short of just how grand everything we cannot see really is. It would actually be more accurate to say that God is more closely related to a community, rather than a single being. God, to put it as simply as possible, is comprised of everything that has ever existed and that ever will exist. And it all exists right now, as a community, operating together in perfect synchronicity.

As far as a name for the Creator goes, it could be changed to Jim, or Bob, or Francine, or Jennifer. The name absolutely does not matter, and it absolutely does not describe things as they really are. That is why the best vernacular to speak of God is – I Am That I Am.

How To Open Yourself To The Messages of God

There is a way to know things about the Cosmos that others will find impossible to grasp. First, know that a mind full of doubt and hesitation will never see all of the wonders you are designed to see. All doubt must be removed; that means ALL doubt, no matter what the topic is. When all doubt regarding your life and Spirit is gone, fear will also leave since fear is the creator of doubt.
You may then wonder, if you lose doubt, what thought will replace it. You will replace it with All Knowing. 

But how can you suddenly Know everything?  This is not the same as having your brain contain all knowledge at once. This knowing happens from having an absolute trust of yourself. With absolute trust, you are opening your physical mind to every bit of data that exists in the Universe. Trusting yourself completely means that no matter what intuition you receive or what message you feel pass through your consciousness, you will trust it with all that you are; you will then know that your spirit will never lie to or misguide you. You will trust your own mind and the thoughts that pass through it more than you trust your spouse, children and closest confidant. This is the mind set you must have to be in an All Knowing state of being.

This unrestricted, unconditional trust of yourself will allow you to see what you have never seen before because you will have removed the fear and doubt filters. You will know things that you could only describe as God sent. You will not require outside, physical proof because things will be revealed to you in a way that leaves no further questions.

You will try your best to convey your New messages to others but they will not believe you; primarily because they have not yet let go of their doubt and fear of what they still consider to be the unknown.
 
How do you shed your doubt and fear?

The simplest way is to let go of all outcomes. Let go of your debt worries. Let go of your job or school worries. Release yourself absolutely from the need to know how any one event will turn out; let it be and trust everything that is happening in your life right now will benefit you somehow. You do not have to see the ending to know you will be fine. Every event will have an outcome, but know this - the outcome will be neutral. It will be neither good nor bad. It will be you that interprets the outcome as good or bad. The occurring event is not "out to get you" so let it go and accept it.
Let go of all religious outcomes of Heaven and Hell and everything you think you know about God. 

Start from scratch. 

Do not worry, your previous conceptions of Heaven, Hell and God will still be available to you should you desire to re-infect your mind with it. When you can let go of what you currently hold as truth, and Be Completely Okay with letting it go, and not fearing any punishment from God as an outcome, will you truly be able to see all of the glorious things that await you.

What Part of Your Soul Do You Want To Experience Next?

The most important thing for you to realize is that your tissues truly are mirrors to your thoughts. Nothing about your body will judge the things that the soul will make it do. Your arm will never get mad if the soul desires to experience itself committing a crime. Your feet will never scream at you for dipping them into freezing cold water. The body only knows how to react to what it is given and then to produce a response. The secret to having your soul live in harmony with its body is to change the thought vibrations that permeate it. The soul will never send harsh vibes through your skin; it cannot because the soul does not think harshly. All of those frequencies come from the human mind. Let me say it this way; the soul knows that it is invincible and cannot be injured by anything it wants to experience, so every choice it makes it does so without fear and hesitation. It is only the human mind that produces hesitation and fear based on how it has been trained to respond.

This is why the Universe is perfect – never is there a thought produced within it that is contrary to the way it naturally works. It is always in harmony with its own nature. I know, I know. How can the Universe generate thoughts? What is it that you think the Universe is? It is more than a conglomerate of planets; it is a vibrating, pulsating organism that is full of life. We can believe it is alive because nothing dead can create life, and all life has been created INSIDE of this Universe.

Maybe it would be more helpful if I referred to the Universe as the Soul of all things since that is closer to the truth. The word universe is rather scientific and vast, but soul is something you can relate to better because that is who you are and the soul can always recognize itself.

The truth is the soul is free to choose any reality it wishes and there is no retribution for choosing something else that is seemingly self-serving, or that goes against even the oldest of church doctrines. You can turn your consciousness away from all that is ripping your mind and your body apart. I am not advocating turning away from one particular action over another; only you can decide what you need to turn from to find peace and to reveal the part of your soul that you want to experience next. But when another reality is chosen out of love and full knowing that it is your soul that is leading you, there will be no resistance. There will be nothing to be afraid of.

If you feel fear when you think about choosing another reality, then know that it is your human brain attempting to postulate the possible outcomes and risks of the new choices. It does this based only off what it currently knows; and it doesn’t know much. It cannot see the completed reality of all the possible choices like the soul can, so the mind generates fear – the fear of the unknown. The fear is never the devil trying to trick you, and it is never God trying to test you, since God knows the outcome of all humanity anyway – a test to see what you would choose would be pointless.

Finding Your Soul...

Ask yourself, what is a soul? How do you see the energy that powers your body? Your brain has already been given detailed ideas about the soul from those who raised you – but now you must put that vision aside and let the soul tell you for Itself what it is. But now you are going to say, you have no idea how to listen to the soul. What does the soul sound like when it speaks? What does it feel like when it moves through you? How can I tell the difference between my imagination and the truth?

Meditation is the key. Our minds are bombarded with our daily lives. It is processing, non-stop, our jobs, our relationships, our futures, our pasts. And then, to get a moment of peace, you put on your headphones and listen to non-stop music, believing that you are clearing your mind. But you are not. You cannot listen to your soul if your ears are full of other things. You cannot feel your soul if your mind is planning your future, recapping your past or living in the moment. You have to give your mind absolutely nothing to do.

Believe me; your mind will not understand this new solitude you are trying to incorporate into its routine. The brain will tell you, go to the internet and check your mail. Or it will remind you that you were going to look up something. But twenty-thousand clicks later, you will have become so absorbed into what you’re doing that you will not have accomplished anything.  You must learn to meditate. Meditation is not a new age or Buddhist way of being. Even the Bible suggests meditation, in so many words.

Meditation is simply the best way to shut your primary thinking processes down while remaining conscious about it. In meditation, you are simply removing all of the duties and chores that you had previously given to your brain. This new way of controlling your mental state may take some practice if you have never tried it; or if you are an aggressive person, or type A personality.

Type A personalities tend to be competitive and critical towards themselves. They are imbalanced by stress and their inability to set it aside. Type A’s are usually workaholics and very easily wound-up and tend to overreact. This usually leads to high blood pressure, so finding a way to be still and meditate may cause them even more stress.

But there is a way, and it is going to involve your imagination. Since you know that you have a job, a life, bills, relationships and other things that may be considered problems in your life – you are going to have to pretend it away.

Try This:

Find a place, any place that will bring you joy, peace and happiness. It can be indoors or outdoors. It would be good to leave behind any electronic devices. When you have entered your sacred space, find a seat and get comfortable. Pick a thought that is still, like a meadow with some gently swaying tall grass or a soft wind tickling the leaves on the branches of a lone tree in the middle of a prairie. Something that isn’t busy; your mind has been busy enough and we want to give it just the bare minimum to process. Breathe deeply and slowly. Do not rush anything. If you find your mind is wandering on your life’s events, instantly change it to your chosen steady image, or of something you love; maybe the still, smiling faces of your children as they look lovingly at you in slow motion.

After you are able to still your mind with your beautiful thoughts, you will then want to begin putting even those thoughts to bed. Now you are just clear. You are breathing deeply, thinking only of the long, slow breath going in; and the long, slow breath going out. Imagine each inhale is life’s purest elements filling your body, saturating you. Then imagine that each exhale is everything that is weighing you down, leaving your body and going out into the ether.

When you get to this point, make sure your eyes are closed and that you are feeling peace. Then, with your imagination, visualize your own energy – your soul. To make it simple, just imagine your soul is a life-sized, white light version of your physical body. It looks just like you, only it is made of the purest of white light. Visualize your white light soul sitting directly across from you, filled with love for the body. The soul smiles and reaches out for you, and in your mind, you reach out for the soul.

As you touch each other, you feel electrified with love, as you can feel it pass through your skin like a static charge. You are still breathing, but much smoother now and you are not paying as much attention to it. You now visualize the soul moving over to your body and sitting on your lap, facing the same direction. The white soul of energy then moves into the body and fills it to capacity. As you breathe in, you absorb all of the soul into your very being and you start to glow white.

This much love passing through your tissues makes you smile and makes you open your eyes. As you look around, you see the world anew, unlike ever before. Imagine now that you have just arrived on Earth and you cannot wait to see what adventures you can bring into your experience first. You are excited to return home and to your life because you now know that everything will look different; better and fresh.

Every time you begin to feel stressed, rushed, bombarded, inundated or overwhelmed, go to this sacred place. If you cannot get to the actual place, go to a quiet location and go there in your mind and meditate until you are refreshed. Know that the soul loves the body, your personality and all of your quirks, even if you feel no one else does. And when you love you, everyone else will want to love you too.

- Justin Lewis

Who Are You

I know you believe you are in there. You believe that some part of you that everyone calls the soul or spirit is dwelling within your body shell. Am I right? Do you think that your soul “leaves” your body and flies away after death? I know more of you believe this than do not; and it is believed so much that you would wager money against me on this. You can feel yourself as a being; you can sense that there is a soul in you. Your body feels like you. But in reality, your soul is not confined within the structure of your tissues. To believe that a spirit, soul or energy can be contained within a specific dimension, like a bird in a cage, shows that you are still thinking of limitation, and energy cannot be contained.

Even the energy of those towering power lines that loom overhead in our local cities and carry electricity to far off places is not contained within the cable; it cannot be. All that the cable is doing is channeling the energy. Energy is actually radiating outward from the line and passing in and out and through the line as it travels along. That is the same with all of us; our spiritual energy is radiating outward from us, all the while, passing in and out and through us, from one dimension to another. You cannot be restricted. You are not just on earth, you are everywhere at once. 

Your feet feel grounded to the Earth by means of gravity so you believe this place is where you are. But the sensation of being attached to the ground is just one of a trillion experiences the soul is trying to pull through that body of yours. 

There is but one heartbeat in the Universe, and this heartbeat is moving through your body with every breath.

If a line worker goes up the tower and cuts the line, the energy does not stop flowing; it simply ceases to be channeled and goes out into everywhere. And since energy has no specific form, it does not retain the shape of the cable it was traveling with. It merely continues to be itself – to be what it is in its truest sense. This is the same as you and I. Once we decide, for whatever reason, that we are finished with the body, our energy will continue to be its truest self; it just won’t be channeled by the body any longer.

After “death” you will still understand who you are, but your understanding will be more complete since there will be no filters, such as the human brain, to cloud your understanding. However, if you desire, you can have a broader understanding of your true self right now, while you are still physical. You do not have to separate from your body to see and live your brilliance and you do not have to be a spiritual guru to consciously change your choices. Simply start living spiritually conscious. That means to know you are a soul and only a soul. You have only ever been a soul. You did not change into a body; you use the body that an already existing male and female body made. That is what is meant when people say, “Your children didn’t come from you - they came through you. And when I use the description, you, I am referring to your soul, because that is who you are.

You Are Love

You are a being of love. There is nothing about you that is less than love. Your body does not matter. Bodies come and go, but love remains forever.

Religion does not work because it picks and chooses sides; who is accepted by God and who is not. Who are the chosen ones and who will be left behind. This type of thinking is a human ego mind set and not the thinking of a God that knows the outcome of all things.

God is formless and every time someone assigns a form to God, a limitation is placed upon it - and God is limitless.

Imagine yourself without a body right now. Close your eyes and pretend you have just died. You are with your body but not of your body. Without your body, there is no form for you. You go out in all directions, connected at every point to everything that exists.

Forget what you've seen in the movies, that a ghost looks just like your body. Erase preconceived notions and images that express human limitation. When your body no longer functions, all that you will have is your ability to think. This is your state of consciousness. This state of consciousness can never stop being a consciousness. Consciousness cannot be contained, or shaped. The outer edges of consciousness cannot be seen because there is no form to it. It simply IS.

You are all there is. Since there are no defined edges or ends to a state of consciousness, there are no boundaries to keep all consciousness from being interwoven together, forming a collective. You do not begin and you do not end.

What do you see of yourself when you remove your body from the equation of life? What, of who you believe yourself to be right now, is left if your body evaporated right now?

If there is nothing left of you but your consciousness, and God is a state of consciousness, what does that tell you? The only thing that is real, that lasts forever, is consciousness. Consciousness cannot separate from itself. That is how you will spend eternity in the consciousness of the Lord. That is your heaven. That is your love being expressed for eternity. That is who you really are. You are not your religion. You are not Baptist, Catholic, Presbyterian, Methodist, or any other.

You consciousness is already aware of all things. It does not have to learn how to be conscious. Only the body can be unconscious - that is the time that the human mind is unaware of being conscious.

Delete your image of yourself from the mirror. What do you see? Are you still there? What is left of you? What part of you will be in heaven with God? How would you walk on streets of gold and live in mansions prepared for you? Is it your spirit? Spirit is consciousness. Soul is consciousness. 

You are Love and Love is nothing but Consciousness expressed. That is Who You Are. Ask your preacher who you are. Say to them, who am I? What part of me will spend eternity with the Lord? Ask your preacher to consider this deeply.

Has Anyone Asked You About Spirituality?

Spirituality is the human quality that gives meaning and 

sense of purpose to an individual’s existence. Spirituality

exists within each individual regardless of belief system and

serves as a force for interconnectedness between the self

and others, the environment, and a higher power.



Spirituality is the recognition or experience of a dimension of

life that is invisible and both within us and yet beyond our 

material world, providing a sense of connectedness and

inter-releatedness with the Universe.

Just A Thought ...

I am beginning to think people want there to

be punishment and damnation, so that the 

promise of salvation from it, feels like a

reward for all of their efforts at being 

righteous.


It must seem too simple to not have anything 

to escape from.
