Light

See yourself as being filled with light. This light is so powerful it leaves no corner of your body in shadow. It illuminates so brightly that your skin becomes featureless as the light radiates outward through it.

Through this light, no gender can be identified, no race can be seen, and no social class is obvious. Even the tiniest of molecules, in the deepest part of your body, are brightened from the inside out.

Because this light fills every available space in your body, no room is left for sickness, worries, or illusions about who you really are.

You are light - and light has no back, no front, no up, and no down. Light goes out in every direction and it does it all at once. This light of yours blankets all that you do, reveals all of your secrets, and does not know how to extinguish.

You are everywhere - You are eternal - You are brilliant

Letting Go

I have found that every time I have worried about something, it generally came to pass. And since worry is usually brought about over something that troubles us in some way, having the event fulfilled is certainly not a good thing in our eyes.

But as I grow older, I notice that every time I let go of my feelings toward an undesirable circumstance, the event seems to pass over me quietly, having no real effect on me or my life.

What is letting go? How does one accomplish such a mental thing when the entire mind seems to want to replay the stressful moments of life over and over again?

This replay of thought is just the mind's way of role playing every possible outcome it can until a solution is found. However, if the stressful thing is something that the mind has no reference for - that is to say, no previous experience or knowledge to draw from - then no suitable outcome will likely be found. That is where Letting Go becomes useful.

To me, letting go of any undesirable situation is the act of turning off my emotions about that situation. That is, I have no perspective on the issue one way or another; I do not care how that particular thing turns out - I am all right with the outcome no matter what.

I know this may feel impossible, and yes, it will take practice to discipline your mental state to this degree; however, it is worth the effort. I say that because the act of a mental release will free up mental processing power that was previously being consumed by worry or stress. This in turn brings peace, and being filled with peace allows new ideas to flow effortlessly.

To begin practicing the art of letting go, you may want to start with little things where the outcome would truly not matter significantly in your daily life whether you let go of it or not. That is because the action of saying, "I let it go" aloud is monumental. Then, do not think of what you have let go of again in any real capacity. If the thoughts cross your mind during the day or night, simply answer the thoughts with, "I have already let that go." And then breathe deeply, exhaling slowly.

Soon, you will be able to do this same thing with the grandest of circumstances. And as you watch those troublesome things appear in your life, they will have little power over you; and you may have even come across a solution by then because your mind was at peace and able to postulate what the Soul has been trying to tell it.

And the Soul is trying to tell you that no matter what happens in your life - it is not the end. You will not fall over a cliff from your perils, since perils only exist within your thoughts. Thoughts give events power - so in turn, thoughts can take away that same power and make your perceived troubles cower before you. Know that in this very moment, you are all right.

Still, should everything you hold dear suddenly disappear, you must be okay with that; you must be okay with having nothing. Are you okay with having nothing? To find out, ask yourself this: Am I okay with dying today? Am I okay with leaving this life behind right here and now?

If someone puts a gun to your head today, you must be okay with them pulling the trigger and taking you from all that you think is real in your life. If the thought of this makes your heart pulse faster or gives you pause then you are too attached to that which does not matter, and letting go of the other trivial things in your life will be difficult.

When you are okay with the ultimate outcome of death, you will be a master of life. But it won’t be until you are okay with the outcome of unpaid bills, broken relationships, or all the uncertain things of life, that you will begin to feel peace and in control of your life on a daily basis.

For now, let us start small by saying this aloud,

“I let everything go that does not bring me joy.

And so it is.”

The Reflection

Do you suppose that the body You see in the mirror would have still been born if You, (the Soul), had not taken it? Of course it would have; but perhaps some other Spiritual Identity would have used it, making the personality of the body completely different. Remember that You are not the body; the Soul is simply the user of the body seen in the reflection. The Soul is an Identity that is known throughout all creation, while the body is merely Its physical alter-ego. And You, (the Soul), have been many egos along the way. 

But because You are here, now, and using the body You are in; I know for certain that You are here on purpose - or else, the body You are using would be someone else. Yes, the body would still appear the same in the mirror, however, every action of that body would be different all together.

Would the name of the body still be John, Jeff, Stephanie, Lindsey Nancy, or the like? More than likely, it would, since the parents named the body, not the Soul. You are not the name of the body; that is not who You are at all - it is simply Your secret identity in the flesh. You already have a name that all of heaven knows You as. All of the Universe also knows every name ever used by You.

The things done on Earth may seem like a secret; things may appear as if no one can see You; there may not be an obvious point to Your life, but I assure You, there is. Otherwise, You would be someplace else, doing some other thing, living as some other identity. But You are not - You are here now, living life on purpose, with a purpose - and that is why we love You and cannot wait to see what You and Your reflection are going to do next.

Love Thyself

It is not necessary to FIND love. This is because we carry love with us wherever we go. When you meet someone and "fall in love" with them, it is not love that you have found; each of you are simply acting as mirrors, reflecting back to the other, their own understanding of love; and this pleases the Soul. The mind projects the idea of your love onto the one you have met and creates the illusion that the other is responsible for your love and the creation of your happiness. This is disadvantageous since, should that person ever leave you, you will feel as if they have taken your love with them, leaving you feeling empty and unhappy. But if You realize that You are the bringer of love, and Your mate is the bringer of love, then no separation of being could ever take love from You. Think of it this way; the Soul does not know how to love another more than It loves Itself because, it is known throughout the Universe that, every Soulful Identity is already filled with the same Absolute Love. That is to say, no other Soul can give You anything to make You more complete than You already are. Until the human mind realizes this, it will not be able to experience love greater than that of its own understanding of love. That is why it has been said that, "People cannot love another more than they love themselves."

Declaring Gay-ness

I have noticed that whenever someone decides to no longer hide their sexual orientation, it becomes a news worthy announcement on prime time. Last week, a young male teen football player announced he was gay. Then, today, a potential NFL player announced he also was gay.

On one hand I say, "Good for you. You have decided to not be ashamed of how you feel about your sexual identity."

On the other hand I say, "Your sexual identity is not really who you are. Announcing to the world that you are gay is nothing but an identity crisis driven by the ego."

It is the ego that must be noticed, for the ego is in love with itself. It is this same ego in others that drives them from you, because the ego is one place within humans where understanding does not exist.

But do not fret because the Soul does not need acceptance - the Soul is never ashamed of any action It partakes of - the Soul would never need to announce Itself to the world in order to buck a resistant system of belief in order to feel better about Itself.

If a person decides that the most poignant thing about them is who they're attracted to, or with whom they have sex, then they have not really settled the issue going on inside.

I understand that it is liberating to boldly declare something that has previously been made to make you feel ashamed, inadequate, and unequal; however, efforts to make others accept you by being audacious will not bring you the peace that you really seek; for such boldness is filled with pride and irreverence, and those things rarely produce serenity.

I tell you this:

If you are a man that loves men - announcing it to the world will not produce a more loving relationship. If you are a woman that loves women - announcing it to the world will not make your bond of love stronger. Enduring the rejections of others will not make others redefine their beliefs; it will not make you appear stronger or untouchable by resisting their disdain. You will simply feel trampled. 

Ready? Let me tell you -

You are not the actions of your body. Your penis or vagina is merely a tool that the Soul uses for Its own pleasure as It has Its way with the body.

Your body has not decided to be gay; this is because the body does not make choices - it cannot. The body is a performer in an act of which the Soul is the writer, producer and director.

The Soul has made the choice to experience love in the way that it does without any help from the body. The Soul always knows what It wants, while never needing approval from any other source. Therefore, any declaration of sex that is made is done so from a egocentric point of view, and in all regards, useless.

Know This:

At the end of this life experience, it will not matter who you had sex with. It will not matter what people thought of you. It will not matter how many people accepted the lifestyle you lived. It will not even matter whether or not the body (that you think you are) understood the purpose of YOUR life.

But it will always matter - that you lived.

Have You Ever Seen a Red-Tailed Devil?

Have you ever seen a red-tailed devil? Have you ever seen anything emerge from the ground beneath your feet and begin taunting, tempting, and tormenting you?

Have you ever seen anything or anyone, besides your fellow humans, appear as anything that resembles, in any way whatsoever, an evil entity as depicted in any religious scripture?

I am going to wager - Not. And you know what that means, right? It means that the only devils and demons that exist, do so only in our minds; and are then acted out by us physically based on how we were taught that demons should behave. Every idea that exists of evil and demons has been conjured within the Absolute realm of Spiritual Mind; this is self-evident since thought cannot exist any place else.

As Souls that cohort with a physical brain, we may dream, conjure and bring to life that which we think; but our original Thought cannot exist outside of its original birthplace; in our case, Spiritual Mind. Thoughts are restricted to the realm of their creator and can never become more than the creator allows through Thought.

Consider it this way; since humans were created in a realm of organic physicality, the physical body cannot ever leave this realm. The only way (around) this would be to create an artificial atmosphere that replicates our indigenous environment; such as a spacesuit that holds air to breathe and pressure to hold it all together. Or perhaps a space shuttle, or space station that can support a human structure. But no matter what, our physical body cannot exist in space alone since that is not the realm for which our bodies were made.

Creatures of the oceans obey this same natural law. Fish may not leave the ocean unless they take a part of the ocean with them in some way; for contained within the ocean environment are all the things essential to their ability to live as fish.

Therefore, as with these other creations, Thought too, can only be created, and continue to exist in the realm from which it was conceived. That is, thinking can only operate within a realm that supports thoughts. We will never see a Thought with our physical eyes because eyes and Thoughts were created in different realms. All we can do is (think a Thought), and then translate it outwardly with all the physical elements at our disposal. But our translations will never equal the grandness or complexity of the Thought that sponsored the translation.

Equally speaking, Thoughts of demons, or devils will never exist outside of the Realm of Ideas from which they were devised; in the like, those Thoughts can never be more than the creator of the Thoughts allow, nor will the demonic Ideas be acted out more grandly than they were conceived of in Mind. All one can ever do is interpret the Ideas of how demons are thought to be through their physical body.

Divine Writers

When authors come along and write something of a divine nature, fans of the work tend to believe the author might have had a direct link to the Source from which the information came. Readers may even think the writer to be of a holier creed than others.
 

Of course, there will always be those that believe that no one person will ever have a direct conversational link to a Creator, and that is fine; however, the fact that cosmic data is constantly present and available to us all will remain whether people believe in it or not.
  

Here’s the thing about writers who have penned conversations or ideas that appear to come from a divine source; they are not special or anointed above anyone else to deliver spiritual messages. They have merely (tuned-in) to the static information that is already part of the make-up of All That Is. That is to say, everything that can ever be known already exists in all places right now, at once. This information never dissipates and no new information is ever created. 
 

Now, to some, this may seem stagnant; as if we are doomed to repeat what we’ve already done over and over again with no new outcomes. But that is not true. There is so much Knowledge available to us, that it would take innumerable lifetimes to experience even the smallest amount of Knowledge flowing throughout the All of IT. That is because the Universe is actually nothing but Knowledge. You may consider the Universe, or God, to be one particular thing with bits of Knowledge flowing here and there, when in fact; all that you see, hear, feel, know and experience is simply Knowledge that has been made to resemble something else; such as all the physical things that surround us, and everything in between.
 

But you may wonder - how can Knowledge be tangible? How can Knowledge be turned into something solid?
 

Well, my friend, that is because Knowledge is just another word for Thought, and you are but a Thought that was made to resemble something else; in this case, a human being. And every molecule that makes up your body is an individual Thought. You are not a solid being, nor is anything else. Upon closer inspection, usually through an electron microscope, the space within seemingly solid objects becomes immense.

So what happens when a brilliant Thought is formed into a physical being? Along with skin and bones, a collection of soft tissue, called the brain, is created. And this brain, being new, has no idea from whence it came until acted upon by an (outside) source of Knowledge, and informed of such things. Now we must ponder, from where does such Knowledge emanate? 
  

Simply stated, we ARE the very Knowledge of Creation; and we have given ourselves something that can be understood as individual, a physical body, even though the (new) part isn’t individual at all. It is only an illusion of individuality so that the Knowledge can see Itself, and experience Itself in a different way.


But let us look at this Knowledge reception from a more human angle. A human perspective may work to explain better because many people see themselves existing only as a body with an inanimate soul tucked inside; it’s difficult for some thinkers to realize that they ARE the Knowledge of All Creation; and this Knowledge, (a.k.a. the Soul) is using the human body for Its pleasure. We know this is true because the brain cannot operate without the Soul giving power and purpose to it, otherwise the body could get up and walk around after the Soul departs from it.

With many humans functioning under the perception that they are separate from the Creative Knowledge, it is easy to see why authors that write Godly things may become revered as special, connected, or otherwise regarded by an almighty source as significant over the rest of the population. However, the truth is – authors that write such things have simply (tuned) their human mind toward the frequency of the unformed Thought that radiates through all of our brains on a consistent basis. 

Try to picture it like this: 

The Universal Data is always present and everywhere; there is not a place where this Knowledge does not exist. It is always around us even if we are not mentally aware of it. Kind of like a satellite that is sending data from space down to Earth. At all times, the satellite continues to broadcast its data across the globe even if there are no receiving satellite dishes on the ground to receive the signal. But when the earthly dish is moved in such a way as to line up with the satellite broadcast, the signal can be absorbed, translated, and understood. This metaphor may help explain human reception as well.

At all times, the Knowledge of All (or God, if you will), is permeating all physical bodies. But it won’t be until your human brain is moved in such a way that it can line up with the Creative Frequency and be able to translate and then understand what the Knowledge is saying. Now this movement of Mind does not need a particular Earthly location in which to be received. All movement of Thought occurs internally. All that is needed is the Awareness that there is Knowledge to be had; and like a beacon, you will discover how to open your human brain to it.

In reality, you are this Knowledge – but since the brain is not born with this understanding – it must be brought to the attention of the physical thinker by other means. Although, there have been those among us that receive the Universal Information simply because they are already open to it. This could be for many reasons; such as having caregivers that do not contaminate a young child’s mind with restrictive ideas about life, deities, heaven, hell, destruction, sin, penalties for behavior and other such things. 

In order to end the cycle of condemning, restrictive and hurtful teachings of generations past, and grow beyond where we are now as a collective, we must let go of that which has no foundation; for if what we have believed only tears us apart as progress is attempted, and does not allow for the expansion of the mind or the expression of the Soul, then there is no real reason to keep utilizing those ideas and pushing them onto our children. 

Change can be scary – but not changing is a waste of your talents and abilities, and will only hold you back from the great life you wish to have.

Ultimately, once people point their spiritual satellites towards this eternally giving Knowledge, everyone can become a divine writer. There is no other secret to it. The Creative Knowledge of God is available to everyone at all times, and in every corner of the Universe. And it is closer than you might think.

Where is it, you may ask?

A quick trip to any household mirror should answer that question.

The Shape of the Soul

In a state where the Soul is not creating an image for another to understand, there would be no particular shape to the Energy of Consciousness. As Intelligent Energy can meld into any form, in a realm of unimpeded thought, there would be no need to assume a form since communication and understanding do not require physicality. 

Why is there no shape? Boundlessness.

The Soul, in a non-manipulated state, does not look like a human body because Energy has no top - no bottom - no back - no front - no curves - no edges - no beginning and no ending. There is no way to see when Energy arrives or if It departs because, in the absence of Intelligence, there would be no way to know where one Identity (Soul) ends and another begins. That is to say, since nothing spiritual can separate from any other spiritual thing; and because ALL things are spiritual, no separation can actually exist. Only within our understanding of how separation is defined can we experience being apart at all.

As physical beings, the One Energy that powers us all, simply pulses and vibrates variably throughout Itself to emulate separation, as two different frequencies emanating from the same Source will appear distinct. But they are not; it is only an illusion of distinctness made for the experience of feeling individual.

The illusion of separateness is essential for the solo experience to take flight since there is no other way to have this emotion.

You are not separate from ANYTHING - you were designed to function as a single identity within a complete Whole. It is absolutely impossible for you to separate from The All Of Everything, making your place in the heaven you seek guaranteed because the Soul known as You has never been apart from it.

Indeed, to be any shape at all, would to be The Shape of Heaven itself; boundless.

The Light

The Light that everyone sees in the "Afterlife" isn't coming from (some unknown place). It comes from All of Us. We are the energy that makes the Light. You ARE Light Itself. The Rest of YOURSELF is who you will meet on (The Other Side). You do not have to understand this now; just trust that you are already where you have been trying to go.

How I Began Living In Consciousness

What is it to Live in Consciousness? What do I mean by that?
Conscious living is living on purpose, with a purpose, and not as a rudimentary drone, operating out of habit, or implanted programming.

It is a way of thinking that shows the Human Brain how to be fulfilled by the Spiritual Mind, and then function together in a naturally harmonic symbiosis. In simplest terms, it is the most complete way you can live in human form.

Some people may wonder how in the world they are supposed to begin this mental and spiritual transformation. Well, it all really comes down to one thing.

Change what you believe, and the change will be Unbelievable.

But let me back up a little…perhaps to the beginning, as far as I can remember.

          I do not remember the day I was born, but I do recall somewhere in between that day and one year. Perhaps, that is because it was no ordinary year.

          Let me explain. I have no memory of visions – it was all feeling; but a feeling with a knowing behind it. My memory dates all the way back to when I still used my baby crib as my resting place and diapers to cover my bottom. After being placed down for a daytime nap or to sleep all night, things would occur that may seem out of the ordinary to anyone else. That's because - I wasn't alone. 

What I am about to tell you are memories that have never faded - almost like mental scars that remain no matter what else I may forget throughout life.

After my mother would place me into my crib and leave the room, I was awakened by the most pleasant of feelings. Sometimes, I would sleep through the night and upon waking for the day, the pleasantness would reappear for me.

Nearly every memory I have of waking up in the crib has the feeling of being loved and comforted by three specific beings. Of the three beings, two felt motherly and one felt like a male, but not fatherly. I say, felt, because I don’t actually remember bodies. But I remember the motherly ones at the crib with me. And even though I don’t remember hands, I felt as if they were touching my belly and rubbing me all over as a mother would do. When they touched me, I felt as if their “hands” were all through me, from head to feet; they all felt like mothers that had attended me at different points within my existence as a spiritual being; two of the Earth, and one not. And when I was being rubbed by those energies, I felt no awareness of being within the confines of the crib.

After feeling transcended, all I sensed was light. Looking back through my mind’s eye, the light was everywhere and everything; as I page through my memory now, I feel as if I was absorbed into it. Even after returning to my crib, the light was still everywhere, but had become darker in places, revealing other elements of things that were part of the light – such as the house we lived in, my physical mother, brother, father and the like. Out of all the things I remember feeling, beauty and comfort were the most prominent.

And although everything was light, including my motherly caretakers, I could still identify each of them separately from the light. Beyond this explanation, I cannot describe it other than to say; they were light, but I could still see Who They Were within a field of nothing but light. I look at the sunlight today, and it does not compare; but unlike the sun, the light of my infancy was not blinding.

The love of it all enveloped me. There was nothing around me to hold me, like a crib or even the ground, yet I did not fear falling. There was nothing between me and everything else. I was connected to it all, and the all was limitless. These mental pictures have been burned into my memory and I do not know why. Every time I think back to it I always smile and I suddenly become inspired to write something about it. I just never have – until now. That was from the fear of me thinking I was crazy.

When I woke up from a nap, sometimes the beings would still be there and then fade out as if they were tucking me back in; other times they were not. But I never felt alone when they were not there. I did then, and do to this day, feel connected on all sides to something indescribable.

The male being never came to me in the crib, but felt more like an observer. I do not feel I needed him; I felt complete.

I have no memory of actual conversations, but I remember my mind being filled with what I would now call words. It was like we were old friends and they were making sure that I was comfortable in my new skin. I can remember these energies being around almost every time I was in the crib, but I don’t seem to have a memory of seeing them when I wasn't in the crib. Perhaps my mind was too busy with activity during the other times of the day. 

As I got older, the feeling of having my three crib companions around, simply faded. It was like getting dropped off at daycare and not noticing the parents had gone. I remember every year that went by after that, but I did not see or feel anything from the energies; not that I can currently remember, anyway.

Time went by and I became a teenager; but by that time I had completely forgotten about the beautiful feeling of love that enveloped me as a baby when my spiritual mothers were there. At the age of fifteen, I hated life and wanted to leave it as soon as possible. I just couldn't seem to find my place in the world. But every time I gave giving up any serious consideration, some part of me wouldn't let me do it; or some other influence would show up in my life and show me that giving up wasn't the way for me. There was a feeling that came over me so strongly, that I couldn't ignore it. I called it a voice, although I did not hear the vibration of vocal chords.

I was at war with the things my mother had taught me about God, and the things the church and society had taught me, because I just couldn't make my internal feelings match with what they were saying. I simply became tired of hearing them tell me, “Trust in the Lord,” when I asked questions that they did not have answers to. Around age 35, I submitted to the power within myself. The messages I write about now come from the voice within. The messages are not original. They are the same that others have spoken of before me, but go unnoticed by the masses.

Now, when I look back and add up all of the 2+2’s of my life, I can see that my spiritual guardians remained with me through every part of my life even though I was no longer aware of them; including my miserable teen years. They never left my side. They are still with me to this day – I now call them my Spirit Family. They guide me and flow through me freely. I often say, if I could wrap up the knowledge I now have and give it to myself every year for Christmas, it would be the best gift I have ever received.

Now, almost everything I write is an inspired message from the “Voice Within”. People do not always fully understand me, or the messages I write. They instantly compare my writings to the scriptures of the Bible. I have even had people ask me if I believe in God, the devil, hell, heaven or the Bible, just because my words don’t sound like what they are used to.

But I have learned to write what comes out, and to not concern myself with the belief or disbelief of others. Those who seek these messages will find them; and those who are not ready to listen, will simply turn away and continue through their chosen reality.
