Allowing II: Reprogrammed

I received an email from a reader that was a bit lost on my Allowing post, and wondered if I could re-state it better. I realize this is a different type of thinking, so I opened my mind and let Spirit do the typing.

"Allowing II: Reprogrammed"

In efforts to manifest, people have been told to concentrate, make vision boards, and think the same thoughts over and over until, at long last, the desire becomes reality.
This is the way information is presented from people who live life solely from a physical perspective. Over time, people have noticed that when they have a specific thought on their mind, the thought seems to appear as a solid reality and they cannot explain why. Other times, thoughts come and go without any production into the physical. This whimsical manifestation process has bewildered people, so some have attempted to come up with logical sounding explanations on how to force Thought into being.

The problem is, Thought cannot be forced. Thought simply IS. Thought goes out into every direction, leaving nothing untouched; but cannot be forced to be one place or another; or restricted from one place or another. And since Thought is everywhere, there is no need to try and Attract it to you, as movies like, The Secret, suggests. Everything you need is already there, all around you.

The confusion comes when people see something in their physical world that they haven't experienced yet; then they think something new has been created. And for the sake of simplified understanding, it is okay to believe that the brain created something new, however, in order to progress along this different line of thinking, at some point the curtain will need to be pulled back just a bit so you will understand why sometimes what you think about shows up, and why sometimes it does not. It isn't blind faith that makes you aware, but knowledge.

Now, this is where you may need to put on your "Contemplation Hats" because this may sound a bit odd. But what Thought really is, is Spirit. There is no separation between Thought and Spirit. They are, in fact, the same thing.

The problem with this is that people often get hung up on words. Too much emphasis is added to words like Spirit, Soul or God. And the moment those words are altered, yet describe the same things, people reject the knowledge. Even the words to describe this to you are limited and leave out many aspects. It isn't that God is trying to be mysterious; it's just that the language isn't there for the translation.
Spirit does not, and never has, kept secrets from the brain. Therefore, the understanding has to come from another place. This place is the realm of Thought (another limited word, but we'll simply have to go with what we have to work with).

Thought comes from an unseen place, passes through the brain and is captured. The new ideas are then added to the brain's cellular structure. Of course, the brain is certain that the Thoughts originated within itself, but that is merely the ego reasoning things out.

Just to put things into perspective, you cannot create anything. You cannot manifest anything. Creation is already complete. All that you desire has already been manifested in Thought, and this Thought is All encompassing and All consuming. This Thought is, in fact, The Rest of Who You Are. If you wish to experience this overly abundant Thought in the physical, you simply must allow it to be so. The illusion is that the human brain believes itself to be the Creator. The brain is only just now coming to the understanding that it is not the Creator - it is the receiver and the translator. It receives data, and translates experience back into a frequency that the Soul can understand. That is to say; Thought moves from one frequency into a physical frequency, and is translated through our tissues back into a Thought frequency. It is a perfect circle of communication; it is a perfect circle of communion. It is, all together, perfect.

But for the sake of simplicity, I will continue to designate our human identities as Soul or Spirit.

The Soul has already arranged what it wants to experience. An open mind can receive this information in advance and know what to expect. A closed mind will receive the same information from the Soul, but will not be aware of it. So when you get an idea in your head, (out of the blue), know that the Soul wants to experience that idea; the brain simply captured the idea, and became aware of the Soul's intentions. At this point, a well trained brain knows exactly what to do - just as a great butler would know how to serve its master.

If you believe that you never get anything you want, then you just need to change your perspective on things - then you'll see you have always received exactly what your mouth said you would get. And your mouth only said it because your Soul put it there. The brain may not believe it gets what it wants; but the Soul always gets what It wants - and that is the only part that matters.

When you start to speak differently, it won't be because you are tired and want a change. It will be because the Soul is ready to move on to the next part of Its experiential agenda, and has placed the idea for change in the brain of Its body. Now you find yourself reading articles on how to change (reprogram) your thinking so you can have the things you want. But in reality, it is the Soul that is making the change and making Its body read these things because the Soul is in reprogram mode.

As I have said, the body serves the Soul, not the other way around.

Lesson 4: Death

Death is simply - letting go of the body. That is it. There is nothing else going on. Letting go of our flesh is not the result of a supernatural punishment. All of the rituals and emotions that surround the departure of a familiar body have made death a painful mystery for most. But let us see if we cannot clear up some of that mystique.

This is an area of conversation where pain and grief can lead to mental and emotional blockage. It may help your understanding of death if you are able to see beyond the body. I am going to repeat a few things I have said in the past, but only because it is related here. And this subject matter, above all, is where you should really consider Who You Really Are.

Sit calmly. Take in a deep breath. Say aloud, “I am not a physical body. I am Energy that is conscious of Itself; and that Energy is using this body for Its own reasons. This body does not control itself. It responds to instructions on what to do from me, the Soul in charge.”

How did saying that aloud make you feel? Did you believe your words? Once you have incorporated this simple truth into your physical mind’s protocols, every experience that you encounter from that moment on will be different than before. The realization that you are a Soul expressing a physical form will set you free. You will even view death differently because you will know that nothing is truly lost.

“But I still miss my loved one,” you may say. And I say, of course you will. You love them even as they have let go of their body. You want to see them, laugh with them and share all the experiences that are yet to come. But you should know that your sadness and feeling of loss is part of our programmed response to the event we've labeled as The End; for the Soul does not understand how to miss someone. The Soul has never, and can never, experience loss. We were never taught to celebrate death as a change of state. We were taught death is a tragic, unnecessary trauma. However, you, the Soul, know precisely where your loved one’s “departed” Soul is. There is never separation. The only way for a Soul to experience the emotion of loss is through the flesh. That is why you have come here; to add something tangible to what was only a conception before. And every death that occurs is one hundred percent intended. The reasons for these intentions are infinitely varied - some Souls want to feel what sadness is like to that degree. Other Souls do not have an interest in the feeling of sadness, but have another experience connected to death that they want to have. Perhaps they wish to see what sadness feels like to you when you experience their death.

This is important to understand.

Have you ever heard someone say, “I was just about to get on that airplane that crashed, but at the last moment, my boss called and said not to go.” Or maybe they said, “…at the last moment, I got a funny feeling not to get on the plane.”

Things like that - those funny feelings, or interruptions that prevent an event from taking place – is the Soul moving Its body out of harms-way because the Soul already, and always, knows what is going to happen. The Soul can never be surprised. And if a Soul does not wish to experience an occurrence, or does wish to experience it, then there is nothing in the Universe that can thwart that decision.

For example: If you’ve had a husband, wife, son or daughter that was killed while in the military; then know that their Soul was already aware and okay with the way they departed, or else they would not have been killed. All the ones that came home from war alive did not do so by luck; it was intended because those Souls have more on their agenda. Even if they were permanently injured – the Soul was okay with that outcome, or it would not have taken place. The body does not "Forrest Gump" its way around the globe. The body, at every moment, is precisely where the Soul has placed it. Every moment of life is intended by the Soul. Remember, the body has no will of its own. If it did, no Soul would be required. The body could walk around and continue to thrive after the Soul lets go of it. Bodies all over town would be leaving morgues to go do as they please, saying, "Thank god that annoying Soul left. I thought I'd never get a chance to do my own thing."

If you know someone that has left by suicide; then know that the Soul allowed the experience to happen. The brain and body do not have the authority or ability to alter the agenda of a Soul, no matter how depressed the brain may appear to be. The Soul makes every single decision that the body will reproduce. The brain can determine that death is the right thing to do based on the condition of the data that it has, but the Soul has the final say on what is ultimately allowed or not. The brain does not negotiate with, or override the Soul. And possibly more significant, there is no eternal punishment waiting for a suicide.

This is the area of belief for most where the religious training implanted in the brain since birth will make the brain want to reject the information. But let me assure you that the notion of certain hell for those committing suicide is strictly, and solely, the creation and domain of religious doctrines. Let me furthermore assure you that religious doctrines, or religion in any of its forms, are not the authority on Souls, or the humanity in which we occupy.

Just as your private home is your dominion where no one can punish you for your choices; the spiritual realm is also your dominion where no one lies in wait for you to make a decision they do not approve of – only to swoop in with the most extreme consequence conceivable. 

Keep in mind – all that exists apart from physicality, is Thought. Thought is more than what it may appear to be. Thought is the Father and Mother of all creation. Thought can become anything; that is why it is said, “If you can conceive of it, then it can be done.”

Thought cannot be contained in any one structure – it is limitless and expandable to infinity. 

Consider this: 

Have you ever created something that did not begin as a thought first? No you did not – for if you are not aware of a thing, you cannot create that thing. So if a particular thought never occurs, then what ever it is that is missing will never be created. Everything that exists began as a Thought; and Thought is everywhere. But the one place it is not – is locked in your physical mind. Thought merely passes through your brain because Thought comes from an unseen place.

I am illustrating Thought here to explain that the only type of hell one could enter into is one created by the Mind. If you have any ideas of hell in your Spiritual Mind, then that is the hell you can experience. Thoughts of hell in the physical brain do not matter since that tissue dies and turns to dust; having no effect in the Spiritual Realm. And because hell is the product of Thought, hell will only last until you change your thoughts about it.

Because you now know that thought cannot be contained by walls or skull bones, it is self-evident that any actual hell could only exist outside of the Conscious realm that we are able to exist within, thus, making any real trip to hell impossible.

Perhaps think of it this way: 

The Spiritual Realm has turned portions of Itself into all of us. One infinite Consciousness has sectioned off portions of Itself, and customized these portions to resemble individual beings; we call these “individual beings” Souls. We are all collectively the One Spiritual Realm; and we cannot separate from ourselves; meaning, the Spiritual Realm would not exist without all of us - because we are the sum total of all Its parts. So if there is a hell within these parts, it is because we have placed it there because we have imagined it into place. And it will only be in place until we imagine something else. Thought is eternal; but we are not eternally thinking the same thing.

Do not worry, your loved ones that have left by their own hands, are not in hell.

No matter how a Soul lets go of their body, know that the Soul allowed it. The secret to being at peace in life is to know that You are the one in charge of Your life. 

I have said this before – you have only read this far because the Soul wants Its body’s eyes to take in this data so that the brain can be reprogrammed. If your human brain had any say so, the religious programming would have taken over and restricted the reading of this lesson. Of course, the ego of the human psyche will fervently disagree – but we don’t leave things up to our egos any longer – do we?

Go now and live the rest of this day with the knowledge that you are still in your skin by the choice of Soul; and this will be the case until the Soul says otherwise – no matter what you do to your body. Smoking will not kill you. Cancer will not kill you. Bad diet will not kill you. A car running over you will not kill you. Not even a bullet to the head will kill you. If you don’t believe it, look up survivors for gunshot head wounds, or hit and runs, or cancer survivors that received no medical treatment, and so on. All these things are powerless against the Soul. 

The most these conditions can do is make your body feel miserable. But a simple change of thinking can heal your body as if you had turned back the clock.

Be at peace because you are not on a timeline to get things in your life done; that is your brain talking. If the Soul wants to get things done, it will without fail. Turn your mind off, and go with the flow, because the flow is waiting for you.

Lesson 5: Forbidden Sex

Perhaps most people have never considered that a Soul can use any organic structure that It wants in order to facilitate an experience. Since the Soul is genderless, any type of organic form will do just fine. That is to say, as far as this lesson goes, a male or female form. 

 People often get lost on this idea because they get hung up on religious scripture that has named God as the Father; so people have led themselves to believe that Spirit can be gendered. But this Consciousness that people identify as a male God, is truly the Father AND Mother of all that exists, since this Consciousness cannot become what It does not contain within Itself already. In other words, all things that have taken shape, received its building blocks from a genderless, and sexless Consciousness that can create any type of sexual being It wishes.

 Someone may ask, "What does it mean that I came from a God without gender? God is a man and created man in that image, right?"

 How words seem to fail us. However, let's look at this. Most people will agree that their idea of God is that God is a Spirit; an Energy. If we ask just about anybody where their body will be after death, they will say, "In the ground, or cremated."

With that said, it is fair to conclude that our bodies, as we now know them, will not be joining us in any other dimension beyond the physical one. In that case, it is fair to say that the part of us that remains aware of who we are, our Consciousness, will be all that we are. We will be in our unaltered state; one of Thought. We are Thought because, after death, we are still aware because we can think. We know who we are without having our bodies with us. 

 So in ultimate reality, we are Thought, or Consciousness, that is aware of Itself. This means that before we ever assume a physical identity, we are neither boy nor girl; we are open to becoming any form we desire. And remember, from previous lessons, that the body serves the Soul; the Soul does not serve the body. The body is used by the Soul to translate the Soul's chosen physical experiences back into a Thought frequency.

Because the body cannot decide for itself what to do, we know that it is the Soul that is directing the body. And when the Soul is interested in experiencing sex with another Soul's body, a rush of chemicals and hormones are released throughout the body's system to make our body feel sexually attracted to their body. 

The human body does not know who or what to be attracted to; it has no opinion on the matter. In our younger years, the brain has not had data on the fine points of attraction inserted into it. At some point, however, the brain will encounter the opinions of others who will direct us on who is attractive, who is sexually viable, and the correct behavior of men and women when it comes to sex. But as we all know, all the showing of it, and all the telling of it, cannot make another person become what is expected of them. That is to say, a caregiver can tell a male child all their life that a man shouldn't be with a man, and a woman shouldn't be with a woman; but at all costs, the Soul will experience sex with exactly the person It desires to; even if it is male on male, woman on woman, or even sex between many bodies. The body will do whatever the Soul tells it to do.

 Many people find themselves drawn to the same sex, but hide it because of religious teachings, and religious fear; maybe even fear of parental reactions. People against homosexuality often say that being gay is something chosen mentally, or in defiance of God. However,  a gay person could not say what pulls them at their core to the same sex anymore than a heterosexual person can say what makes them heterosexual. Sex and sexual preference is a drive in all of us that feels built-in even though it comes from an Outside Source - the Soul.

 Ask yourself this: If you are a heterosexual male, can you decide to be homosexual? Can you decide that suddenly another male is sexually attractive to where you would prefer them over a woman? A homosexual male cannot decide to be straight either because those decisions do not come from the physical brain; they come from the Thinker behind the thinker. 

 A sexual attraction cannot be "Prayed Away" by religion any more than a gay male can pray that a straight man becomes gay, since not even prayer is effective against the Soul. In truth, the Soul would never need to pray because from the Soul's perspective, nothing is hidden; there is no need to ask, or pray, for change since it is the Soul that is in charge of Its own change. Only the human brain is trained to believe prayer is necessary because it is not aware of the connection to all things the way that the Soul is aware.

 A sexual union is a Spiritual collaboration, and no scripture, or religious ideology can thwart the will of the Soul. No other human being can force, or scare a Soul into having sex the way they see fit - no consequence of hell and punishment forever will make a man not engage in gay sex, or a lesbian woman not find a female lover. That is because the Soul cannot be convinced of hell when It already knows differently. 

In the realm of Consciousness, fear is not used to control the Energy flow. Thought moves freely and effortlessly, no matter what form It takes, and no matter what experiences It has. If Consciousness hampered parts of Itself for eternal punishment, at some point there wouldn't be enough of Itself left available to experience Itself anew.

Think of it like this:

Have you ever been disappointed in your own hands for doing something that the rest of the body did not approve of? Not likely - Consciousness is the same way. We are all part of this Infinite Consciousness, and this Consciousness would never have one part of Itself do something only to punish it for doing it. Every aspect of this realm of Thought is aware of what all other aspects of Itself are thinking or doing. What is known in one place is known in all places - At Once - even sexual activities.

So there is no reason to hide and be ashamed. There is no reason to fight for the right to have sex with whomever You choose. There is no need to protest against those who condemn the actions of Your body since their words are the mutterings of a pre-trained brain, and not the words of a Soul, since a Soul would never condemn You or the body. There is no need to have a national "Coming Out" day, for who are you "coming out" to? All the Souls in the Universe know Who You Really Are; all other Souls support You, love You, and experience joy with You. If there must be a coming out celebration, do it among like minded people who have already become aware of this part of their Soul. Celebrate because You too are now aware that there is nothing wrong with you; you are not despised by all, just misunderstood by some.

 Know this: Behind the flesh and brainwashing of condemning people, are Souls that see You, love You, and cherish You. Unawareness is its own plight, and not for You to be burdened with. It is not for You to change their minds - their Soul already knows how to do that for Itself when It is ready. The only thing You need to do is to love them for Who They Really Are, and you will discover the peace you've been missing.

The Power Within

At the moment of your physical death, you will become aware of all that you truly are. There will be a moment during this process that you can reverse your moment of death, since nothing is ever permanent; not even death. Death does not come for you - you go for death because you have decided that there is nothing else you wish to translate for the Soul, using flesh as a mediator.

However, once you get a taste of the love and pleasure that is experienced without the shield of a human body, you will probably not wish to return to a human form; few ever do. What I wish for you to know from this is that you can choose. You are not locked in to situations beyond your control. Not even death holds power over you. All of your life is this way. You always have been in charge of what affects you whether it be deliciously or maliciously. It was all you. But this is not your curse - this is your power.

And because of this power, no one else can be blamed for your life's outcomes since no one else can determine, against your will, how your life will proceed.

There is no one on Earth, or even the Universe, that has power over you, no matter how powerful someone else may seem. Our power is reserved only for us, individually, and the only way we can appear to affect someone else is if they agree to it, and allow themselves to be affected. Permission must be given - no exceptions. 
If you feel powerless, then you may not believe what I am saying is true. But I tell you this: You will only feel powerless until you decide Not To Be. Truly, what do you have to lose? Look people in the eye and show them what you are made of. Will your job fire you? Maybe. Will friends leave you? Perhaps. Does any of that matter? Of course not. Your short time here on Earth should be about your experiences. If you fear losing a job, a friend, or care about your vanity, then you are not using your power. You are allowing other people's power to reign over you. That is why you feel powerless. "Powerless" people believe life is hard and demanding.They believe the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. They believe there isn't enough and that hoarding goods and services is the only way to survive. But people that know they are powerful do not fear such things - that is why people aware of their power seem to be the ones that have it all.

No one person has power over another, so if it is a better world that you want to experience, then we must all work together, as a collective, using our individual power of control to make the world, and our lives, what we wish to experience. A better life for all will take all of us working as a family - not as enemies.

Now ask yourself, "What are you going to do next with all of this power you possess?"

Demons & The Light

If demons existed, they would never 'believe and tremble' because they know about God. (James 2:19)

Consider this:

As the myth goes, demons are just former angels cast out of heaven along with the angel known as, "...the morning star..." (Isaiah 14:12), or Lucifer, son of the morning. This is the only way the story could be written because all of the angels, evil or otherwise, would have come from the Great I AM, or God - the Original Source of Light. And since this Source of Light made everything that exists, seen or unseen, from Itself, then all things, including demons, would also be beings of light. 

Because demons would have come from The Light, and exist Within The Light, they would not be evil beings, but beings of love, since The One Source of Light cannot contain anything unlike Itself, and The One Source of Light cannot attack Itself. That means, with all that exists being contained within the One Conscious Field of Energy known as God, there could be no demons ignorant of the fact that they are Beings of God. 
And with this knowledge, the demons would know that God is without restriction, without boundaries, indivisible and unconquerable by any other part of Itself. That would be like your left arm turning on your right arm because your left arm hates the right. 
But we all know that there is not one part of your body that even understands how to hate another part. It simply works together in perfect harmony. Hence, there really could not be any demons because the current idea of demons contradict everything that the Light is. And there is no part of The Light that understands how to hate a part of Itself. 

All of such things are illusions created by our human inability to understand just what Love is.

The Heaven You Seek

There will come a time when people will realize that they could have lived their lives more fully - for most people it will probably be super close to the moment of death. It is at the moment of death when all of the things that we fought over, cared about, and believed in will be revealed as all of the little things that never actually mattered. These precious parts are solely for your joy during this short physical moment of human life. So LIVE! Do Not obsess. Do Not worry. Do Not fear. Do Not panic.

At some point, the Universe (Spirit) will take a deep breath in, and consume all there is before breathing out again, so why are you accumulating so much stuff? You will not be keeping any of it because you were never meant to take up permanent residence here. A person should be able to enjoy all of the riches of the Earth, but be able to let them go without a fight. Be ready to give up all that you hold dear at any moment; even your family. Remember, other people do not belong to you, so love, cherish and enjoy them while they are with you, but know that they won't be staying long; none of us ever do.

There is no need to concern yourself with leaving a legacy of things you have done or passing down treasures to your children, for if you can build a life of material things, so can they; and one of the best things about living is achieving your dreams - not inheriting someone else's dreams. Simply live out loud, taking in all of the world - and then Let It Go after you are done with it. The need to leave a legacy for others to admire is only the ego requiring its continual recognition. Try to see life beyond the limits of the ego, vanity and all of the attachments you have acquired.

It is when you have reached this point in your thinking that you will be truly free because you will understand how this aspect of God works. This is because God does not store up things in the Heaven you seek; everything that Spirit has made from Itself is continually passing in and out of phase, from one realm, one frequency and one existence to another. Spirit is constant in the fact that It always will be Spirit - but Spirit is mutable through all of Its other expressions.

When we collectively understand that our time in the reality known as Earth is but a micro-fiber in the fabric of Creation, we will not have a desire to hoard material things. We will not kill over something we know we cannot take with us into other realms or dimensions. We will not separate ourselves from one another because we will understand that people don't end at the edge of their skin; they continue on, passing their essence through us and into everything. 

Living in this way will be the fullest that humans on Earth have ever experienced life.   

The Real Anti-Christ

Know that there is no chance of you being fooled by THE Anti-Christ. Every person that does not consider Christ in their lives would technically be an Anti-Christ. Those are the only ones you will ever find.

The thing you should know is, God did not create anything that could or would ever be out of balance with Who God Is. It isn't even possible that an angel would exist that would counter or go against God, for all beings in their Spiritual state would already see the truth of All Things, and know that God is indivisible, unconquerable, and in harmony with everything that exists. 

It is only the human mind that is deceived by fantasy and illusion since your current physical brain has never been to the Spiritual Realm to see things as they really are. And since the One Consciousness is All There Is, It cannot fight Itself.

If you base your life's decisions on what you think you know about God, you will find yourself confused and wandering in the metaphorical desert until you realize that you already know the truth. That is why you are reading this now. Your Soul already knows the truth and is trying to inform the rest of you.
So ask yourself; are you listening?

Good Grief

When someone is grieving, they must be allowed to grieve completely - no matter how long it takes. It is not up to you or anyone to determine that they have mourned enough.
By no means, never suggest that they get over it and move on. Never suggest platitudes like, "Time heals all wounds." 

Those words will not help them even though your intentions may be sincere.

The mind will do what it does best and develop its own coping mechanisms to help restore mental balance. The Soul will observe the mourning process of Its body until It is ready to move on to the next phase of experience. 

Your inability to handle or accept someone's prolonged grief will not alter a single thing, except within your own mind.

But do not worry - grief is healthy, and as long as grief is allowed to present itself unconditionally, the process will allow the Soul to more easily guide Itself along a more fulfilled path in the future without psychological occlusion.

JB Lewis

The Change of Self

People have said so often that change begins within, that the words have little more than a numbed effect. This is most likely because people don't know where to begin inside of this vast idea of self change.
They ask, "How do I change something 'within' that I cannot see, touch, or feel?"

The answer is: you do not have to change what is within, for this inner self is already 100% magnificent. It cannot become any better than it already is. The only motion needed is to make your human psyche aware of it.

Once the mind knows how brilliant, compassionate and loving you naturally are, the brain will rest in its efforts to try and produce these notions artificially, and your true self will shine through without restriction.

It is then that you will see, just being yourself will bring everything you have ever wanted right to your doorstep. And although the world around you may still appear disturbed; your world will be one of peace, prosperity and a little bit of heaven on Earth.

The hardest part may simply be to convince your mind that you are More than you have always been led to believe.
