RESPONSIBITY FOR OUR PERSONAL GROWTH.

Even though the culture may have evolved with technological advancement and administrative complexity, human nature has not moved forward as it might. We are now paying the price for human selfishness and inconsideration. Going forward, the quality of our lives on this planet - even our survival - now depends on each of us taking responsibility for our personal growth.

There is no proper education. No one knows the aim of life and, therefore, one can attach to any community, any system of thinking, and can do anything at any time. This social chaos seems to be threatening us even today, at this advanced stage of our civilisation. All this is because of a fundamental error in misconceiving, underestimating and disregarding human values, considering human values as meaningless, as nothing at all and without any significance, and together with it brushing aside all eternal values of life. When we become irreligionists, become atheists, become materialists and lose the sense of the sacredness of life, then we begin to live not a human life, but a kind of vegetative existence that somehow drags itself forward blindly.

Everyone as a subject, pure and simple, is a centre of force, and this force has to be harnessed. If it is not scientifically and logically harnessed, it shall seek its expression in its own ways. If our energies are not properly utilised, the energies shall find a way out, like a soda bottle bursting. Human energies are not harnessed properly these days on account of defective systems of education. The manner and system of discipline of the human mind and intelligence is called education. And if we do not discipline it properly, well, like a comet shooting into the skies, it shall shoot forth anywhere it likes, and carry the energy with it. This is a part of the explanation of social misery these days.

But Humanity needs to awaken to the true self and source of inner knowing. Awaken through a process of self-discovery, leading to one's own, self-directed spirituality. We need to become mindfully conscious instead of ruled by the dictates of instincts, past habits and fixed beliefs. We need to throw away dogma, open our minds and reconsider. Instead of fear about our survival and competitive angst, we will then be motivated by compassionate understanding and creative love.

Far too many people live in despair, in a state of melancholy and moodiness, for everything looks dark and gloomy because of the insistent urge within us. But, at the same time, our ignorance is preposterous. This should awaken us again to the need for following the proper path of action for leading a spiritual life. The life spiritual is not one of the ways of living; it is the only proper way of living we can choose in life because it is the presupposition, the precondition of the very existence of the human being himself. The life spiritual is the way in which consciousness interprets life in terms of Reality, and without some sort of a hint at least at what Reality is, we cannot be spiritually conscious.

The truth is, you are your own worst enemy, the person that you hate the most, the person who has done you wrong a million times through ten hundred thousand lifetimes retains, even now, even after death, exactly the same rights and privileges as you do. It simply doesn't matter what you think about them or what kind of "justice" you think exists in the universe. It ain't gonna happen. We all retain exactly the same rights, privileges, and entitlements no matter who we are, what we've done, or where we've been.

Hatred and anger, the desire for vengeance, the need to see somebody else in pain, these are the nightmares of a sleeping body. They don't belong in a fully awakened existence. They won’t fit. In fact, the two are mutually exclusive. You see, your spiritual consciousness is all about love and inclusion and expansiveness and giving. The truth is, your higher self is a glorious beacon of light and love and it cannot abide the negativity of this world. The truth is, our higher self cannot get close to all the negative we keep percolating in our mind. If your mind is full of hate, judgment, hierarchy, and suffering, you won't be able to wake up. Your consciousness won't be able to enter. It would simply be in too much pain.

Although Humans have been in the grip of pain for eons, ever since they fell from the state of grace, entered the realm of time and mind, and lost awareness of Being. At that point, they started to perceive themselves as meaningless fragments in an alien universe, unconnected to the source and to each other.

However, this unhapppiness is simply because the mind is unable to reflect Truth in itself. The mind is harassed by certain obsessions, and it is these obsessions that become the objects of the mind’s thinking every day. The mind that is dissipated or distracted is like a light that has been split into many parts, as if through a prism. The mind’s way of thinking, generally, is of the nature of a split personality: becoming conscious of oneself in many ways. When we are objectively conscious, our mind gets distracted; it has to flow in different channels at the same time, and then it is that we feel weak.

THE POWER OF THE MIND: A TOOL OR A WEAPON

The mind is a superb instrument if used rightly. Used wrongly, however, it becomes very destructive. To put it more accurately, it is not so much that you use your mind wrongly — you usually don't use it at all. It uses you. This is the disease. You believe that you are your mind. This is the delusion. The instrument has taken you over.

When the mind is using you. You are unconsciously identified with it, so you don't even know that you are its slave. It's almost as if you were possessed without knowing it, and so you take the possessing entity to be yourself. The beginning of freedom is the realization that you are not the possessing entity — the thinker. Knowing this enables you to observe the entity.

The moment you start watching the thinker, a higher level of consciousness becomes activated. You then begin to realize that there is a vast realm of intelligence beyond thought, that thought is only a tiny aspect of that intelligence. You also realize that all the things that truly matter — beauty, love, creativity, joy, inner peace — arise from beyond the mind. You begin to awaken

But to Spiritually Awaken is to control his senses in order that we may become fit to enshrine and entertain a mind that can reflect Truth. A sensual mind cannot be a spiritual mind. The mind that is wedded to the objects of sense cannot be in a position to receive the knowledge of Truth. This is the way in which the mind has to be taught the lesson of detachment.

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING: THE PROCESS OF CHANGE

Spiritual Awakening is the process of change, it's the letting go of hatred, anger, vengeance, judgment, and ideas about wrath and damnation and let the healing begin so that consciousness may enter and blossom. If you find that you are putting up with negativity or toxic behaviour and toxic thinking, it's recommend that you put a stop to it. Exercise your God given right to put your foot down and say, no more. Compromise in a healthy and mutually respectful relationship is one thing, but nobody, not even god, requires you to suffer.

It will indeed be a terrible condition to be in when the “walls come tumbling down,” as "The Veil" crumbles, and you are forced to confront not only the truth about yourself, but also the reality of all the demons, devils, and Ghouls that have been put into your head by fear driven toxic people and you will experience them as if they are real. Indeed, enough people on this earth currently believe in these illusions to manifest them (as above in consciousness, so below in matter) but when this happens, you are going to have to trust. You are going to have to remember that what you see is mere illusions, nothing but projected energy that has not fully developed.

However, being spiritually awakened has nothing to do with how smart you are, how rich you are, how much you attain, how hard you work, or how much you achieve. It simply doesn't matter who you are or what you've done. In the eyes of the great Unfolding of Spirit, we all deserve prosperity, happiness, peace, love, and desire no matter what. To have anything else, to allow anything else to exist, is against our collective divinity. We have accepted it while we've been sleeping, but now that we're waking up, we'll have no more of Illusions that bind us to the suffering of toxic thinking..

Whether we are spiritual or unspiritual can only be known by the way in which we think, not from the way we look. The outside appearance is no criterion here. Our feelings, our reactions, our attitudes, our longings, our aspirations, will tell us where we stand in evolution. So, Instead of loving a beautiful object, we start loving beauty itself. That is a higher state of mind. Running after the beautiful things, instead of beauty.When we are able to realise that beauty is different from the beautiful object – it is not the object that we want, but only the beauty – we go higher up, from particular beauty to general beauty. It is not this form of beauty or that form of beauty that we want, but beauty as such.

This is what spiritual awakening can do. It is like a philosopher’s stone, by whose touch base metal gets converted into higher metal. The base metal of ordinary, bound life gets transformed into the life of consciousness, of freedom, into the awareness of a higher value in life, and finally a confidence there is nothing which shares this energy; all things are this energy. The energy is indivisible. Because everything is this energy, there is not anything which is separate, apart, from all else.

“You” have never been—and never will be— severed from this energy; nor have you ever been, or will you ever be, isolated from all else that is. You are not presently a “part” of anything, because there is not anything that you have ever been disjoined from. Since you have never been apart from all else that is, there is no “self” which can actually have been formed as a separate part. The self does not exist, except in the human imagination; there is no “part” of the universe which can, in reality, be distinguishable from the remainder of the universe. You are this energy, and this energy is boundless and in constant transition…uncontainable within such a fixed confine as man’s conception of the “self.”

But this higher perception must be consciously realized in order to give a lasting peace of mind. This perception is that all phenomena in the universe are the manifestation of an “energy” which is not—nor has ever been or will ever be—in any way divided. There is a universal energy which is completeness in constant change. It is not, and cannot be, contained; its movement is not limited by time or space. Because it is unlimited, it is without beginning or ending. It is completely and constantly whole: this energy is everything which is. It is present in every place, this very moment—and this present moment is the only actual time there is. It is the “movement” of this energy which makes the moment endless, which makes it the endlessly changing moment that it is.

TIME AND MIND: THE ILLUSIONS

Time and mind are inseparable. Remove time from the mind and it stops — unless you choose to use it. To be identified with your mind is to be trapped in time: the compulsion to live almost exclusively through memory and anticipation. This creates an endless preoccupation with past and future and an unwillingness to honor and acknowledge the present moment and allow it to be. The compulsion arises because the past gives you an identity and the future holds the promise of salvation, but both are illusions.

Time isn't precious at all, because it is an illusion. What you perceive as precious is not time but the one point that is out of time: the Now. That is precious indeed. The more you are focused on time — past and future — the more you miss the Now, the most precious thing there is. The eternal present is the space within which your whole life unfolds, the one factor that remains constant. Life is now. There was never a time when your life was not now, nor will there ever be

LETTING GO OF PSYCHOLOGICAL TIME AND APPLYING CLOCK TIME.

A Spiritually Awakened person's main focus of attention is always the Now, but they are still peripherally aware of time. In other words, they continue to use clock time but are free of psychological time. Learning to use Clock Time in the practical aspects of your life prevents you from compulsively projecting it into the future.

Clock time is not just making an appointment or planning a trip. It includes learning from the past so that we don't repeat the same mistakes over and over. Setting goals and working toward them. Predicting the future by means of patterns and laws, physical, mathematical and so on, learned from the past and taking appropriate action on the basis of our prediction. If you made a mistake in the past and learn from it now, you are using clock time.

If you dwell on it mentally, and self-criticism, remorse, or guilt come up, then you are making the mistake into "me" and "mine": you make it part of your sense of self, and it has become psychological time.

If you set yourself a goal and work toward it, you are using clock time, you are aware of where you want to go and you honor the steps you are taking. But if you become obbsessively fixed on a goal to the point of only wanting to find a sense of self in it than it has become psychological time, in which your life journey is no longer adventurious, just an obbsessive need to make it.

However, psychological time is a mental disease that keeps us chained to the past and obbsessing over a future, in which Superficial changes are possible, but real transformation is rare and depends upon whether you can become present enough to dissolve the past by accessing the power of the Now.

All negativity is caused by an accumulation of psychological time and denial of the present. Unease, anxiety, tension, stress, worry — all forms of fear — are caused by too much future, and not enough presence. Guilt, regret, resentment, grievances, sadness, bitterness, and all forms of nonforgiveness are caused by too much past, and not enough presence. And most people find it difficult to believe that a state of consciousness totally free of all negativity is possible. And yet this is the liberated state to which all spiritual teachings point. It is the promise of salvation, not in an illusory future but right here and now.

You may even find it hard to recognize that time is the cause of your suffering or your problems. You believe that they are caused by specific situations in your life, and seen from a conventional viewpoint, this is true. But until you have dealt with the basic problem-making dysfunction of the mind — its attachment to past and future and denial of the Now — problems are actually interchangeable.

YOU THE CO CREATOR OF YOUR OWN SUFFERING

When you are full of problems, there is no room for anything new to enter, no room for a solution. So whenever you can, make some room, create some space, so that you find the life underneath your life situation. Awaken out of the dream of time and Move deeply into the Now and leave behind the deadening world of psychological time that is draining you of life energy, just as it is slowly poisoning and destroying the Earth.

By focusing your attention on the 'Now' you will soon come to realize that the mind unconsciously loves problems because they give you an identity of sorts. This is normal, even if it is insane. "Problem" means that you are dwelling on a situation mentally without there being a true intention or possibility of taking action now and that you are unconsciously making it part of your sense of self. You become so overwhelmed by your life situation that you lose your sense of life, of Being.

When you create a problem, you create pain. All it takes is a simple choice, a simple decision: no matter what happens. Although it is a simple choice, it is also very radical. You won’t make that choice unless you are truly fed up with suffering, unless you have truly had enough. And you won't be able to go through with it unless you access the power of the Now. If you create no more pain for yourself, then you create no more pain for others. You also no longer contaminate the beautiful Earth, your inner space, and the collective human psyche with the negativity of problem-making, in which this is the basis of SPIRITUAL AWAKENING.

THE AWAKENING OF CONSCIOUSNESS

The time-bound mode of consciousness is deeply embedded in the human psyche. But Spiritual Awakening is part of a profound transformation that is taking place in the collective consciousness of the planet and beyond, for it's the awakening of consciousness from the dream of matter, form, and separation. The ending of time. We are breaking mind patterns that have dominated human life for eons. Mind patterns that have created unimaginable suffering on a vast scale.

Intellectual agreement is just another belief and won't make much difference to your life. To realize this truth, you need to live it. When every cell of your body is so present that it feels vibrant with life, and when you can feel that life every moment as the joy of Being, then it can be said that you are free of time.

However, To be free of time is to be free of the psychological need of past for your identity and future for your fulfillment. It represents the most profound transformation of consciousness that you can imagine. In some rare cases, this shift in consciousness happens dramatically and radically, once and for all. When it does, it usually comes about through total surrender in the midst of intense suffering. Most people, however, have to work at it. When you learn to be the witness of your thoughts and emotions, which is an essential part of being present, you may be surprised when you first become aware of the background "static" of ordinary unconsciousness and realize how rarely, if ever, you are truly at ease within yourself.

On the level of your thinking, you will find a great deal of resistance in the form of judgment, discontent, and mental projection away from the Now. On the emotional level, there will be an undercurrent of unease, tension, boredom, or nervousness. Both are aspects of the mind in its habitual resistance mode.

Make it conscious. Observe the many ways in which unease, discontent, and tension arise within you through unnecessary judgment, resistance to what is, and denial of the Now. Anything unconscious dissolves when you shine the light of consciousness on it. Once you know how to dissolve ordinary unconsciousness, the light of your presence will shine brightly, and it will be much easier to deal with deep unconsciousness whenever you feel its gravitational pull.

HOW TO WAKE UP AND EXPAND YOUR AWARNESS

SLOWING DOWN,

FEELING GRATEFUL,

WATCHING YOUR THOUGHTS,

Your thoughts shape your experience of the world. If you inner words are negative, fearful and worrisome then your world will reflect that. If your thoughts are positive, peaceful, loving and hopeful then your life will be full of that. Take a few minutes multiple times throughout the day to watch your inner dialogue. Notice it and be careful not to judge yourself. Judging will increases your negative self-talk. NOTICE WHERE FEAR AND NEGATIVE THINKING RUNS, AND CHANGE YOUR THINKING.

SEE THE BEAUTY

When you take time to quiet yourself you will notice that often the beauty of things become more apparent. Imagine seeing the beauty of your partner’s heart; the sparkling eyes of someone laughing and full of life; the light of a city as dusk fades to darkness; the lively colors of a painting; or the many other beautiful things just waiting for you to see them.

BEING DIVINE (ACCEPTANCE OF DIVINE SELF)

You are Divine. Even in your imperfection you are Divine. See yourself as the son/daughter of the Creative Source of the Universe. Ask daily to be guided toward the realization of your Divine nature. This guidance is always available if you are quiet enough to receive it. Some choose a path of prayer or meditation others open to their Higher Self or the Divine Within seeking to contact that guidance. When asking for guidance, ask as if you deserve it.

SITTING QUIETLY

Find a comfortable place in your home where you can sit undisturbed and begin your meditation by becoming aware of the inhale and exhale of your breath, as you notice your breath you automatically begin to enter into a more relaxed state. As your thoughts come up simply notice what you are thinking and then return to following the inhale and exhale of the breath. This breathing meditation is simple by design but it will offer you many challenges as you explore the ego mind’s endless chatter

BE CREATIVE

Let yourself be open to the creation of a life that matters, a life inspired by your creative solutions for a better world. Look around you. Most everything you see began as an idea in someone’s mind.

LOVING POSSIBITIES

Love is the liberating force of the universe. True freedom comes from opening your heart. Self- love is actually very revolutionary and radical. When you give your power to others, allow others to deceive you, exploit you or oppress you it is because of a lack of self-love. Self-love feels so joyous that before long you will want to spread all the love you can

LIVING ON PURPOSE

You have a special purpose only you can fulfill. Your purpose or mission can be like a compass that gives your life direction. The whole planet benefits from you realizing your mission. If you go through your life and never fully discover or act on your purpose, then everyone misses out. When you are on purpose, you are filled with energy, feel alive, have focus, are at peace, and love what you do. e. Set out to realize your mission and see how everything falls into place to make it happen.

BE HERE NOW

The only place you can truly be is in the moment. As you read this and remain focused on the words you are present to the possibilities of these ideas. Too often you spend time thinking about how things were in the past or imagining how life will be in the future. When your thoughts are in the past or future you can easily miss the opportunities of the present.
