My Reverence for Spirit

A robe of stars, adorns the sky,
The twinkle of light, informs the eye,
That greater wisdom, and good prevails,
No matter what, your earthly trails,

Spiritual matter, behind the scenes,
A closer touch, you make in dreams,
The play of life, you dance and sing,
Further enlightenment, you hope it brings,

Tune into the stars, and behold the light,
It brings you guidance, through your darkest night,
Seek for messages, and guidance true,
Provided by Spiritual Beings, with great love for you,

The tides, whirlpools and currents of life,
May guide you to harmony, or bring you much strife,
Look to Nature, to provide a helping hand,
Spirit’s guiding signs, appear across Nature’s land.

Prayer for Healing
Oh Great Spirit manifest your loving energy to your children. Make whole this broken one. You are the glue that binds all life together. You are the force which drives all to completion. You are the warmth that heats love, the voice of thunder and the light of lightning. For You, all is done.

With love, in love and through love.

Tinkerbell’s light is fading, and has almost gone out.

In the wonderful little movie Peter Pan there was the scene where Tinkerbell had been poisoned and her light was going out. Next we heard, clap your hands if you believe in Fairies! Peter Pan was asking us to bring back the light, bring back the energy, and bring back the magic.

We are losing the idea of our own magical abilities, we are forgetting whom we are and what we are capable of manifesting within our world.

Go ahead now and clap your hand if you still have any belief in your own ability to create the magic in your own life. If you did clap with vigor and a loud sound, please continue on with your day of creating your life the way you want to be living it.

For those of us who did not take the moment to clap, let’s continue on.
Throughout time the wise people who have accomplished the manifesting of their dreams have recognized a very important part of their Being. This part that resides in all of us is our imagination. Imagination is that magic wand within us that allows us to bring into our consciousness that which we choose to create, become, manifest and align ourselves with, to and become a part of.

Eastern mystics have been more overt in their writings with their systems of gurus and saints because one’s dwelling upon these people helps an individual to align themselves with these people who have demonstrated great love or special abilities. Most of this has been lost in the West do to the fact that Jesus has been placed on such a high pedestal that people often can’t relate to this great soul.

J. R. Newton, the great healer of the 1800s who healed 250,000 people through his ministry of love, stated that as to his power of healing, ‘it is a demonstration of the power of love. I tell someone I love them, I show them I love them, and if they believe and feel this, the disease must depart.’

Now if you believe that love has this power, then please clap your hands! Please clap your hands loudly if you want the light of love to become brighter. The testimonials for Dr. Newton’s cures were written by mayors, sheriffs, judges, lawyers and newspaper editors. They did happen! Love did find a way of curing and healing.

My post is not just about using love, it is about what you believe. It doesn’t matter about who or what group has been involved with lessening the belief in your own light, the point is that you are the one that is responsible and in charge of your own light. Clap your hands if you understand. You are the light, you are the only person that can lessen or brighten your own light.

When you become aware of whom you are and what you are capable of doing, your world will change and become what you desire. Why wait for someone else or something else to come and change your world. Imagine and create your world NOW. That’s right you have the light and power within to change your outer world. Clap your hands if you would like this to become your reality.

It is not just religious and spiritual people who have this light, it is captains of industry and others who have realized that what you desire and what you focus upon will manifest in this world. Everyone possesses the light of magic. Some people’s light shines so brightly that they just take it for granted that they will manifest whatever they desire. Others of us have lost sight of our light.

So again I ask you to clap if you believe in your own light of magic. Do you believe in your own light? How hard are you clapping now?

Have a beautiful day and may your light become brighter.

With love, in love and through love to you.

Manifesting Thoughts and Concepts

In an earlier post I made a comment about holding a thought or a concept until it manifests. In my experience, I believe there are several manners in which to become one with a concept until it materializes.

Of course from the highest vibration, you would hold the concept of how valuable and important your manifestation will be for all creation. When it is conceived with love, in love and through love for the benefit of all it has the highest opportunity to manifest to its highest purpose. From this state of awareness or vibration you are creating within and for love.

While some believe there are only basic states of awareness and you create from within one ‘mindset’, there are numerous states of awareness, as many as there are people, and it is not possible to say that manifesting is to be done in any one particular manner for every person. One common aspect is to be as complete as possible with your vision.

Here is something I read, a long time ago, about James J. Hill, a man who built railroads. Here is how he envisioned:
“- First I see in my mind's eye the two places that need to be connected.
- What kind of places they are.
- What kind of people live in them.
- What kind of businesses they are engaged in.
- I see the country in between them;
- The cities and towns.
- Rural sections & people who live there.
- I see the rails being made.
- I see the stations being built.
- I see the trains stopping at the stations.
- The people getting on and off.

But not until the whole things is so much a part of my consciousness that I can hear the whistles blow, do I build the railroad."

And the biggest key: When something is so much a part of your consciousness that you can see, feel and touch it within; when you know it will appear because you are a co-creator and have been given this gift; and that it exists already because you have created it, then to the degree that you know it, it will appear in the physical.

Courage to dare, thoughts do create,
Begin through desire, then have patience to wait,
Elements combine, following the pattern from mind,
Then the clusters form, into different kinds,
Frequency acts, as a band of glue,
To produce a physical form, which was desired by you,
You need not strain, nor do you need to be taught
It is by imagination, faith and will, you manifest what is sought.
Steve

With love, in love and through love…be love and share with those who have been ‘brought’ to you.

Each of us is a thread in today’s tapestry of life…
The old man sat upon the cliff wondering about his life. What meaning has it had and what does it matter in the great sea of eternity that rolls never ending in constant rhythm upon the shore?
But each wave is pushed, by an unseen hand,
And plays its role, upon the sand,
Each life like a wave, rolls on its way,
To be a part of a new creation, every day,
Driven by, the Invisible Force,
The wave of life, fulfills its course.
The garb of physical clothing you wear, hides the grandeur of your true being.
The winds blow, in each direction,
Allowing all to reach, true perfection,
No right or wrong, effects your ultimate course,
A seeming mistake, should bring no remorse,
In each experience, there is a lesson to learn,
Through your reaction, you can discern,
There is a greater aspect, that you be,
The schoolroom of life, helps you see,
The Inner Light is covered, with sheaths that hide,
Your True Essence, that is so bright inside,
The heartbeat of matter, is spirit you see,
To reach this awareness, just use this key,
Look for the inner, the driving force,
T’s the Handiwork of God, your spirit of course. Steve Ross

Each of you is a unique thread in the present tapestry of life. Think love, be love, share your love. No one else can express the love that you possess. With love, in love and through love. Shine from Inside.

Half Full or Half Empty? A Doggy Tale, Fear and the Essence of Light.

A doggy convention was held and thousands of dogs were in attendance. Many of the dogs traveled to the convention from very distant areas. The main hero of our dog tale is named Sparky. Sparky had not attended the convention in previous years but made several new doggy friends at this latest event.
As the convention was ending, Sparky met with a new doggy friend he just met named Red. Sparky and Red lived in distant cities but Sparky promised Red that he would make the 3 day journey from his home to Red’s home the next month.

Finally the day arrived for Sparky to begin his three day journey to visit Red. Sparky started off the first day and as it began to become dark, Sparky stopped in a new town to get something to eat and to rest. Immediately several dogs in the vicinity began barking loudly and making threatening moves toward Sparky.

Sparky knew it would not be possible to rest or get something to eat so he continued on his journey throughout the night. At first light, Sparky again found himself in a new town and looked for something to eat and a comfortable place to rest. In this new area several dogs confronted Sparky and barked their displeasure at his presence. Sparky decided to continue on toward Red’s home.

By the end of the second day, Sparky had completed what should have been the three day journey to Red’s home in just under two days. Red was surprised that Sparky had managed to complete the journey so quickly.

When asked by Red how he was able to do it, Sparky replied, “I had a lot of help along the way.” --

A pilgrim was leaving Constantinople to go on a journey. As he was leaving town he crossed paths with the Plague who was going to enter the city. The pilgrim asked, why are you here? The Plague responded that he was going into town to take 5,000 lives. The Pilgrim was very happy that he was leaving the town. Several months later the Pilgrim was returning to his home and he once again crossed paths with the Plague who was leaving the town. He asked the Plague, ‘I understand that 50,000 people have died. Didn’t you say you had only come for 5,000 people?’ The Plague responded, ‘I only took 5,000 souls, Fear took the rest.’ --

Around 525 BC, Pythagoras stated, the body of God is light and the substance of God is truth. Physics continually demonstrates that our conception of matter is not what we imagine. Light is very important to the existence of our bodies, not only for the warmth of the sun or heat, but for the operations within our body. Also, it is interesting to note that pictures and portraits of sacred people depict them as having light surrounding them. A great light extending from within to the without. Is Light the common aspect we have with our Creator?

Some ancient philosophers believed that there are three suns. Our visible sun that reflects off of objects and allows us to see their outward nature. The visible sun is only a shadow or reflection of an invisible light. A second sun reveals and nourishes the soul and illuminates the astral and psychic planes. This second sun provides light that supports functions and powers of people including intuition. Intuition is the capacity to become attuned to the inside of light.

Therefore we know the appearance of things by visible light, but we instantly know of their nature and substance by their invisible or soul light. By observation we behold things lighted, by intuition we behold things self-luminous. People can see the life within nature because of the light that shines within it, we see the outer form of nature because of the light that shines upon it.

The third sun nourishes and sustains the spirit. Everything that exists radiates light. All things derive their life from light and in light is life itself on every plane. This third sun has to do with the Divine nature of things. “The universe in its totality is suspended in an infinite extent of spiritual life-light. All things exist within this light. It permeates space mingling with spiritual light of other suns and cosmic centers in all existence. The Sea of Eternal Light is the Luminous Nature of God.”

Aspects of our Being exist in a sea of physical, psychic and of spiritual light. These seas of light constantly surround and interpenetrate us at all times. We can never be further from or nearer to any essential principle necessary for our survival in any plane. An analogy would be similar to fish in water.
Recognize the light in all things and you will know and become one with all things. The ALL is in all, and all is in the ALL.

Why Do We Not See?
“There is a fine old story about a student who came to a rabbi and said, ‘In the olden days there were men who saw the face of God. Why don’t they any more?’ The rabbi replied, because nowadays no one can stoop so low.”
As we have looked to measure and define those aspects of life that are readily evident we have closed off a greater awareness that humans once possessed.
The poet Novalis, in the 1800s, wrote in his story of the blue flower in his book, Heinrich von Ofterdingen, “In olden times the whole of nature must have been more alive and conscious than it is today…so it was possible for ingenious men to do things and produce phenomena which we now consider altogether, incredible and fabulous.” Since we no longer communicate with Nature, the spirits of Nature have backed away from making themselves more evident.
“Thus it was in very ancient times, in the lands which are now Greece, so travelers say who have heard these tales told there even today by the peasant folk. There were people who were able to apply the strange sounds of their marvelous instruments in such a way as to waken the secret life of the forests, the spirits hidden in the tree-trunks; they could revive the dead seeds in barren wastelands so that gardens would blossom forth…”
“They tamed terrible beasts and they could transform raging torrents into still waters, and transport even dead stones in regular dancing motions.” “The essences within objects revealed their inner virtues and those who would listen learned the healing powers of numbers, plants and all creatures.”
Everything moves in nature. The motion of vibration came into being at the time of Creation. All objects at an unconscious level carry the knowledge of their origin and function. The different rates of vibration create the shapes, sounds, colors, tastes and odors that we perceive.
“Some frequencies create forms and move in cyclical patterns that we cannot immediately perceive because they operate on a different wavelength than we do.”
It is through mental means, such as meditation, we have the ability to change our frequency. WE can learn to match our vibration to the vibration of something else that we wish to become in resonance with. We can slow our vibration down to the rate of the stone people and learn the wisdom that rocks has accumulated.
WE can speed up our rate of vibration and come into contact with the spirit world. Our mind and emotions are tools that allow us to create astral vibrations that create an energy that travels throughout the cosmos the same way that sound and light vibrate.
It is through the use of vibrations that things can be made manifest in the physical realm. The manner in which this is accomplished is through the proper state of consciousness. We have been creating and manifesting many things in our life that we have not realized we brought upon ourselves. When we use the wisdom of our heart and align with the divine laws of our reality, we produce the highest manifestations within our life.
We are ultimately responsible for the results in our life and whatever action we take and whatever manifestations we make.
The potential exists in every atom to function at its perfect state. Our thoughts create the energy fields that affect our bodies, our environment, and our lives for the highest and best or something vibrating at a lower frequency. Through our choices, actions, and thoughts we alter the rate of how the atoms vibrate in our body.
Nothing is static or inanimate in the cosmos. Spiritual unfolding is the awareness of our ability to manage creative energy. I began the post with some thoughts regarding ancient stories of how people could interact with nature and animals. Today we have discovered how to map and measure the physical reality we see and touch; the ancients knew how to come into resonance with the energy that creates and animates physical objects.
Today we are accustomed to relying on technology for our well-being. We use our rational minds to explore. The ancient Egyptians attempted to come into resonance through altered states of consciousness. The wonder workers from ancient times realized that we possess a gift of unlimited potential. They realized that through our inner awareness all things were possible.
Were all of the ancient stories just myths? Or did these ancient teachers tap into and utilize a greater awareness that we all possess? We have glorified the outer and as a result, we have gone through a process of atrophy within.
Our poet Novalis said, “One should, when overwhelmed by the shadow of a giant, move aside and see if the colossal shadow isn’t merely that of a pygmy blocking out the sun.” The true depths of our spirit is unknown to us. The mysterious way leads inwards.

The Healing Stream and Healing

Ideas perpetuate themselves whenever they are launched.  As an example…you take a seed and the seed grows into a tree and later the tree is destroyed.  However the idea of the tree is still there.  The idea remains in the Akasha, or one might say the ether.

The trees that we see that are alive and well could be said to be concrete and solid ideas that are sticking into something.  The idea of a tree, or anything else for that matter on the earth plane, is involved in the Akasha and with the idea of life force of growth.

An interesting thing about life force is it is not static and is always moving.  Only when there is death present and no longer vibrational activity or no longer movement there is no longer life.  So we might have a consideration that there would be a frequency of energy that is basic to all creation and the individual portions of creation might be considered subsets of a set with their own dynamic aspects of visible life. 
Looking a bit deeper we might say that life and movement is a dynamic almost intelligent being.

If we have snipped a piece from a rose bush and we put it in water, set it off in a semi-shady place, not too cool and not too warm, we just stuck a stick in creation.  That stick has the idea of creation within it and soon it will make a rose.

Each of us is also stuck into the same ‘stuff.’  If you have an idea of what you would like to create there is the possibility that you can create that within yourself.  However, what often gets in the way is too many cross vibrations, negatives of one thing or another.

You might have the idea that you would like to channel through yourself some of this living energy to benefit somebody else.  There are two considerations here.  One is that a person desires to be a conduit, the other is that the individual wants to be healed.  The idea exists for both considerations because healers and healings have happened before throughout time.

Our universe is alive, our planet is alive and all IDEAS are alive and in the perception of some individuals they have come to the fact that some of the things they have considered to be totally solid may be alive too.  Everything is in the ‘thought-stream of God.’

In the true desire of someone wanting to be healed they can pull upon the healing current by their desire to be healed.  This Idea exists within the unseen sphere.  In order to have a complete healing the individual who desires to be healed must accept the responsibilities that would associate with becoming well.

If there be a desire associated greatly within the makeup of an individual who would be called a practitioner as well as a true desire with someone who might be called a patient, then a healing will take place.  The idea of healing has always existed and will continue to exist.

The Wellness Vibration or Healing Stream can be conceived of as a light.  When one understands that there is light within the self, they will understand that they are a part of the light and can participate more fully in this light of Creation.

It is possible for a person to connect to the Wellness Vibration or Healing Stream themselves in meditation.  By stilling the energies that are associated to where there is no energy blocking the life force that is associated around the individual…it then can penetrate and flow through.

Looking from spirit at the activities of the physical body in all of the ideas that are associated within it that makes us work, it is a shifting kaleidoscope of energies with constant moving and shifting.  When one meditates or gets into a meditative state, suddenly the majority of all that movement and all of those ideas are stilled.  There is more space between molecules and energies can the flow through.

Several hundred years ago a philosopher said, ‘when you attune to the God consciousness within you, you can create worlds.’  You can create your world of health.

With love, in love and through love.

Some Thoughts to Ponder on 5/20/2017

We are responsible for our manifestations.  Your life and the way you live it is your biggest prayer.  That prayer leads to a manifestation of that which you are.  It is well to examine what you have created, because you may need to change it.

Many years ago I was visiting my mom and dad with a friend.  My friend was using an iron on some clothing and got the iron to close to the pinky finger and immediately it created a large blister.  Everyone turned to me and said, “Okay Steve, why don’t you see what you can do?”

I normally would not get involved but I said, okay.  In a light-hearted and fun manner I walked over and touched her finger with my hand and in a couple of minutes she said the pain was gone.  She then said she still had the blister.  Something possessed my to pick up her hand and blow my breath over her finger.  Within minutes the large angry blister disappeared.

A very close friend of mine told me about his friend, a Chinese man, who worked with arrangements of ‘energies and powers.’  A lady in this man’s locale, was opened up in surgery and it was discovered that she was covered head to toe with tumors.  The doctors closed her up and sent her home.  The doctor’s gave her morphine and hoped she would not suffer to long. 

The woman contacted the Chinese gentleman and he came to her and told her that certain things needed to be moved in her home.  She also needed to get different colors in the house.  He then handed her a chip of wood.  He told her where to put the chip of wood in a particular place.  She did what she was told.  She rearranged the house, changed the colors and place the chip of wood where he told her.  Within a short time virtually all the tumors were gone including one of twenty pounds.

Now the tumor did not end up on the wood, but perhaps the energies and her thoughts behind the tumor did?  It is always important that a person be willing to accept the responsibility for being healed.  Many individuals have chosen not to be healed and not to accept the physical healing that is present here upon earth for them.

In situations where one is carrying and living a picture of dis-ease and illness, possibly given to them by others or through their own belief, their life is a manifestation of that same picture.  Creating a new picture can alter the outcome.  When an individual begins living their life as if only health and well-being are present that is the true prayer that will be answered. Think on this.

We are under the false impression that negative forces abound and someone else or something else has power over us and causes our difficulty.  The power does not come from other individuals, the power exists in the Universe, for both good and less than good…and it depends upon how YOU use the power or energy.  You do not alter it or create it, you only have the opportunity to use it.  If you use it wisely, if you use it creatively, it will sustain you and keep you living in a youthful and healthy state. 

Moses comes down from the mountain after seeing God.  In the presence of the Pharaoh he asked his brother Aaron to toss his staff.  It turned into a snake.  The Pharaoh, unmoved, had his magicians toss their staffs upon the ground.  Eventually the snake of Moses swallowed the other snakes.  In using this energy that exists for all, a greater good supersedes something not of the highest and best.
 
When working with individuals we are not interested in the specific difficulty that the requestor might have.  Their life is what they have manifested.  We choose to see the individual in total perfection.  We see, for just one quick moment, a picture of the individual in perfection when they were first sparked into existence at the time of their creation.  If they are open then the picture of perfection supersedes their picture and they feel some movement and energy flow within themselves.  The healing stream has been deflected for one brief moment.

Many people I speak with are so occupied with events and situations outside of themselves, situations in which at the moment they have little control, they fail to realize that these situations have created dis-ease and uneasiness within them resulting in their health problems.

We are all in control of our own well-being.  We have unlimited abilities; we have access to many unimaginable energies that one can find upon going within and not being focused into what is without.  I began this post sharing a personal experience that is not meant to have anyone contact me for healing, but to point out that many things are possible.  Be in joy, be in love, have faith that all things are possible and if you are desirous of learning of what more is possible, don’t get totally focused into what is happening in the without.

Let No One Who Can Be His Own Belong To Another

Approximately 500 years ago, a medical doctor, who also was an alchemical philosopher, had the belief that locked within each individual’s personality, was the secret to their own health. In order to determine if this was true, the doctor made it a point to meet, work and learn all he could about as many people as possible.

The doctor was not interested in learning some generality, he wanted to observe how people reacted under all circumstances and pressures. Through his contact with people he made them happy, mad, got them intoxicated, all the time observing their actions and reactions.

The doctor also looked back into the people’s lives to find out why healthy persons were healthy and why sick persons were sick.  One of his conclusions was that some people were healthy and happier because they seemed to be better people. They appeared more moral, reasonable and less opinionated. The doctor discovered that disease increased and health diminished as false opinions multiplied within an individual. Sickness increased as ambitions increased. The people who were content in their life were in better health than those who were discontented.

Another observation was that individuals who lived a well-integrated, relaxed personal life, even though they were of a comparatively low degree of intelligence, were in most ways in better health than those people whose lives were in constant conflict.

Another striking observation was that many persons living in unhealthy areas, near swamps and other toxic areas, did not sicken. He wondered how this was possible that some people were sick and others were not. He also noted that individuals under great world pressures such as war, religious disturbances, invasions, and people living under tyrants…some of these people were miserable and others were not.

The doctor also wondered why one individual in a city, who is taxed too much, becomes unhappy, sick and finally destroys himself, another individual under the same pressure, being taxed equally, accepts the burden, remains happy and adjusts his life. Eventually the doctor came to the conclusion that it is something in the individual that determines the degree of his fortune or misfortune.

One of the doctor’s major conclusions was that a person primarily sickened himself, and it was not just the outward circumstances that made the person ill.  After much observation, thought and meditation about life, the doctor came to the conclusion that while pressures, circumstances and conditions surround us, there is sufficient evidence in the reaction of individuals to prove, it is not the pressure from outside, but the reaction within, which becomes the basis of tragedy.

If you take a person and put him in a room, close all the windows and doors, he will gradually kill himself by poisoning the atmosphere around him. He will suffocate as a result of the poison that he breathes into the air around him. If there is no way to purify the air the person will suffocate due to a lack of oxygen.
The doctor observed that human feelings, kept in a confined space within an individual, where there is no ventilation, will eventually lead to dis-ease and ultimately to a person’s death. “When a person blocks circulation of any part of nature, and draws a line of limitation, and sets aside an area in which he lives, it will ultimately poison him.”

For the remainder of his life the doctor worked with the inner aspects of his patients as much as he did with treating the outer body. When you realize that Paracelsus lived in the early 1500s, his observations combined with his stunning medical successes, all throughout Europe, are quite profound. Paracelsus’s greatest adage was, “Let no one who can be his own belong to another.” We each hold the power to ultimately decide how someone or something will affect our life.
