***The Seven Keys to Releasing Fear and Worry

Fear is the big freezer in this world! It keeps people from living the lives of their dreams, from shining their light, performing at their peak and, ultimately, it keeps them from realizing God! It is not possible to live in fear and at the same time realize God. As a matter of fact, every time you give into fear, in that very moment you are losing awareness of God’s presence in your mind. And you are losing awareness of love’s presence in your heart. For your enjoyment, here are the seven keys to releasing fear and worry:

Why We Think About Our Past So Often

Sometimes we spend a chunk of our lives looking back on what was. We are stuck remembering and holding onto something that is no more. We reflect on old issues, remembering things that have happened and moments that have passed. Why do we do this; why is it so important to us that it, in a way, consumes us? What benefit is there from spending so much time reflecting and remembering? Sometimes it seems like our mind wanders there on its own, without our consent.

How To Be Centered and Grounded

Sometimes in life things can feel out of control, like we are being pulled in many different directions. When things feel this way, we too can become that way inside. Our emotions and thoughts scatter, rising and falling with the events in our lives. It can be hard to stay grounded, to be present, when we feel like we are always stuck in this very reactive mode. Sure, it can be easier to feel okay when everything is fine and all seems to be working as it should. But once that changes do you find yourself responding from a place of fear and worry?

Definition: Spiritual Enlightenment

Enlightenment (or brightening) broadly means the acquisition of new wisdom or understanding enabling clarity of perception. However, the English word covers two concepts which can be quite distinct: religious or spiritual enlightenment (German: Erleuchtung) and secular or intellectual enlightenment (German: Aufklärung). This can cause confusion, since those who claim intellectual enlightenment often reject spiritual concepts altogether.nnIn religious use, enlightenment i

***Our Time on Earth is Limited

Ultimately life is very short. None of us knows when it is time for us go. Our time on Earth is shortened every moment, whether we like it or not. And once a moment is gone, it is “gone forever.” The one thing you can’t buy with money is time! This is why it is so important to not waste the time that is given us. The Integrated Ascended Master uses every moment wisely. He uses every moment as an opportunity to purify mind, body and emotions. He uses every moment to render planetary world service and practice the Presence of God.

Why It Is So Important To Love Yourself

When we speak of love, we think of others and what they mean to us; we think of those we love. We do not, however, delve into what we think of ourselves and if we love the most important person to us, ourselves. Love, when given to ourselves, has the power to erase doubt, self-loathing, discrimination, and any hurtful feelings we may feel. It erases the negative ways we see ourselves, and it also alleviates that feeling that no one cares or that we are alone. For when we love ourselves unconditionally, we are complete; we do not need others to fill this void.

How To Feel More Involved In Life

If you feel closed off, protected, or withdrawn, you can physically change this feeling in yourself. You can bring more awareness into your life by purposefully opening yourself up to the world. This can be done in stages and through many steps. It is important to know that when we are withholding ourselves, what we are really doing is trying to protect ourselves. So to substantiate this feeling, we look at the world as a place that is fundamentally hard or that is against us in some way.

***A Person is Known by the Company he Keeps

“A person is known by the company he keeps.” This is a well-known saying, and one that holds great truth! Every thought we entertain emanates vibration. And these vibrations are easily absorbed by other human minds. Unfortunately most people don’t guard themselves and so they allow other people’s thoughts and energies to influence them. They don’t practice “Spiritual vigilance” and CHOOSE which thoughts to allow into their minds. And so they undisce ingly end up picking up all these lower-self thoughts of the people they associate with and take them on as their own.

Definition: True Self

Many neurologists, philosophers, and everyday people propose that we each have a self. There has been rich and raucous debate across centuries and cultures about what that is. After 15 years' study I propose there are two types of self which regulate your personality and behaviors every day.nnIf our early-childhood nurturing is enough, we seem to automatically develop a personality subself which acts like a naturally-talented orchestra leader, athletic coach, or chairperson.

When Life Feels Heavy or Hard

Opening up to the possibilities in life is important. If we feel hopeless and challenged too often, we lose the purpose in our life. We stop seeing what could be, and instead see the end of things. Letting go of this viewpoint in life enables you to see life as it really is for you. If we believe life is a struggle, then it will continuously feel this way. If we see life as uplifting, then everyday we can experience this.

Getting the Cosmic Joke and Laughing Our Way to Wholeness

"Blessed our we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused." I recently went to see Swami Beyondananda, the Cosmic Comic, and he told us, "Imagine that the creator is watching the comedy channel, and WE are what's on." Laughter is a wonderful thing. It is healing and heart opening, it lowers our blood pressure and raises our spirits. Like some of you, I was brought up in a family where feelings of anger, fear and sadness were not welcomed.

***The Seventh Initiation is the Goal of Every Initiate because it Means Freedom from Rebirth

Essentially, the seventh initiation is the goal of every initiate because it means freedom from the wheel of rebirth. It is the nirvana of the Buddhist, the Samadhi of the meditator, and the liberation of the yogi. So in essence, the seventh initiation marks freedom from rebirth which is a very celebrative moment in the evolutionary journey of the Soul, however, it is important to understand that even though one may take the seventh level of initiation, this does not mean that one has mastered one’s four lower bodies and consciousness. So in a sense, the real work only just begins!

Letting Go Of Doubt

When you doubt yourself, you are basically saying that you cannot do what you want to do. For every moment we doubt ourselves, we are limiting our abilities and we are stopping ourselves. We limit ourselves, and therefore we lack self-confidence. It is a two-way street. If we doubt ourselves, we have no self-confidence. One creates the other. When we stop ourselves from what we want to do because we have no faith in ourselves, our lack of confidence grows. Usually doubt begins to form not because of what we think of ourselves, but because of how we perceive others to see us.

Releasing the idea of trying to be something else, something more, and allowing yourself to become one with all that exists is a true possibility for you. It does have to do with believing enough in yourself, that who you are in this moment is enough without reaching any further. It is believing you are ready to release the idea of trying to be a certain way, of pushing yourself, and realizing that you at this moment are ready for everything.

*** Examples of Blind Spots in Channels and Psychics

The biggest blind spot in channels today is negative ego interference – their own lower self and fear-based mind is interfering with their channelled messages. An example of such a channelling would be the fear-creating messages of planetary destruction, physical pole shifts and the likes. These channelings are illusionary. No Ascended Master will ever bring through a message that creates fear. They will always seek to empower and inspire. They see fear for what it is – an illusion of the lower mind.

***The Inner Plane Ascended Masters are Here to Serve us, and We are Here to Serve Them

The Ascended Masters of the Spiritual Hierarchy have their own lives on the planes or realms they live. They have their own interests and growth objectives. However, part of what they do is to be actively involved in the evolution of humanity, as well as the Earth as a whole. So they are here to assist our growth and evolution, because essentially this is how they grow themselves as well. We all grow by serving each other. So they are all eager to help, however, the one thing they cannot do is infringe upon our free will, and this is why we must call on them and ask for their help.

***Three Prerequisites to Succeed in Meditation

The purpose of meditation is to help us realize union with God and our God Self (also called: Monad or Mighty I AM Presence or Ete al Self). The purpose of meditation is to reveal our True Self. We are one with God – always have been, always will be, and are so right now. We are our God Self, which is our true identity – always have been, always will be, and are so right now. However, what stands between us and the realization of this grand truth is our lower self desires, thoughts, emotions and consciousness.

My Holistic Medical Experiences With Sugar: Migraines, Blood Sugar, and Intestinal Yeast Infections

Personal Statement: It is my belief that as your Official Guide on Enlightenment, I should share some of my personal background and experiences so that you can get to know me and know where I stand.

***A Few Words of Caution and Guidance on Channelling and Psychism

Stay away from the lower psychic plane and dimension! It is a huge blind spot in the consciousness of Lightworkers in general to think that just because someone has passed over that they are any more evolved than they were on Earth. Our consciousness remains basically the same before and after death. Always put up psychic protection. Think of your auric field as your home. You would not let just anyone enter your home; in a similar way you should not just allow anyone to enter your auric field either.

The Game of Life - A Tarot Majors Book by Timothy Leary, Ph.D

As a student of tarot I consider myself very fortunate to have taken a friend's suggestion to read a book entitled The Game of Life by Timothy Leary. The Game of Life is centered around Leary's idea that the tarot trumps represent the stages of personal growth that humanity experiences both as individuals and as a species. According to Leary, the Major Arcana represent the stages of growth that our species evolves through, and he even included 2 extra trumps that uncover the way of the future.

***The Substance of the Mental Plane is Composed of Very Refined Thought Substance

The substance of the mental plane is composed of very refined thought substance. It is extremely pliable and reactive to the intent with which we fashion it. The matter of the mental plane responds directly to our thoughts. That’s how thoughts become things, as Edgar Cayce said. Although, luckily, it takes some time for our thoughts to become physical things. That is why it is so important to master our thoughts, because the higher we go in our evolution, the more powerful our thoughts become.

***OM Meditation to Connect with the Divine Within

Find a comfortable posture, either lying down or sitting up, whatever you prefer. But be sure to keep your spine straight so that the energy can flow unhindered. Close your eyes and follow the natural flow of your breath for a moment or two, as you calm down and settle into the stillness. Take a deep breath, filling first the lower abdomen, then the upper abdomen and finally the chest. As you breathe out, let the breath carry first the “ooooooo” sound for two thirds of the outbreath and then follow with the “mmmmmmm” sound.

***What is Karma? And Why all Karma is Neutral in Truth…

The Master Jesus said, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” The Kybalion says, “Every cause has its effect; ever effect has its cause; everything happens according to law; chance is but a name for law not recognized; there are many planes of causation, but nothing escapes the law.” In Eastern philosophy this is simply called the law of karma. The most basic explanation of karma is “cause and effect.”

***Karma is a Gift, not a Punishment

Karma is the law of cause and effect. This cause can be set in motion by an individual, a group of individuals, or by the planet as a whole. The effect can be both “positive” and “negative” depending on the cause we set. So even though most people speak of karma as being “bad karma”, there is also “good karma.” Karma is the ultimate teacher of lessons. If we set a “negative cause” and experience, as a result, a “negative effect,” we are learning that if want to have positive experiences in life, then we need to set positive causes (by thinking and acting positively).

***Gold is Tried in Fire, People by God … and Why you Should Strive to be a Master rather than a Disaster

Earth is a mystery school. Every school naturally comes with its sets of tests. So does Earth school. Earth is a Spiritual school teaching us to practice the presence of God both in body, mind, emotion and Spirit. It is teaching us to become a living Integrated Ascended Master. It is teaching us to demonstrate Spiritual/ Christ/ Buddha/ Krishna/ Moses/ Mohammed/ Mighty I AM Presence consciousness, no matter what! As the saying goes, “Gold is tried in fire, people by God.” Everything that happens in life is a Spiritual test and lesson; it is God testing us to see how we respond.
