Look in the Mirror Until You See Your Own Divinity
 
As I am hearing more and more people referring to what God has told them regarding their actions toward other people and groups, I am wondering what God they are speaking about?

Is it the God of Creation that manifested the reality that we exist within or is it their personal ego that has risen to a place that usurps anything beyond itself?

What is it about human beings that find it easier to talk and pontificate as opposed to walking and acting what they espouse?

On Sunday individuals believe that singing psalms, listening to holy words and displaying ornaments around their neck makes them ‘religious’ and in tune with Jesus and God.  It is far easier to talk the talk then walk the walk.  Why?  Because walking the walk might have us going against some ingrained belief that we foster regarding what God really believes.

It seems in our time people know what the Creator believes yet they can’t even tell you why they do the things they do.  The people of judgement are quick to point out how someone else is not following the ‘Word’ of God yet they overlook the multitude of their actions which are in direct opposition of the “Words” which they hear every Sunday or read daily in “The Book.”

Instead of worrying about money, relationships and how other people live their life, perhaps we should give some attention to what our own destiny might be and why we are here on earth.  The three aspects I just mentioned are not ‘things’ that one will carry after their death upon this plane.
 
Religion and philosophy have become just words and not a way of life.  When Jesus sent out the disciples to heal, after a time they came back to him unable to heal an individual.  What had happened was that they were just speaking words without understanding and having the true power behind the words.

Love is love is love is love.  If one claims that they are a part of the religion of love then walking the talk means loving without ceasing and without judgement.  You don’t just cherry pick when you want to do it and to whom, otherwise you really didn’t get the memo of what it is about.
​
Watching what is taking place with the so-called religious-right, I’ve often asked, if your Revelator came back today and was voting, who would He vote for?  More social oriented issues or every person for themselves and let’s gather as much money as possible for ourselves even at the expense of another?

Our attention continues to be outward rather than looking at ourselves and what is inside.  We continue to listen to individuals in the street, in the pulpits or at the head of various organizations that can’t seem to walk the talk that they claim comes from a Higher Source.

The Higher Source is within YOU and me.  We have a part of the Light of our Parents that should be the highest Master, Guru and Teacher that we follow. 

A Beautiful Heart, and Open Mind and a Humble Spirit will serve you just as well as sitting and listening to someone because you have a fear that this person, this place or this religion is your only means of salvation or being aligned with God.  You don’t need to find a place to be aligned with God the Creator, you are a part of God the Creator.  What you seek is not outside but inside.

The more you walk the talk of love, peace, non-judgement, helping your neighbor and not just your relatives, respecting nature and all life, speaking the truth and loving the blessing of life you’ve been given, the more you will become that very thing that you seek.  What is that?  To be with your Mother-Father Creator.

If one really believes that speaking and talking these things rather than walking them is going to fool the Spiritual Realm, then they are truly deluded.  You don’t do anything that is hidden from view. 

I am sharing this today because of my feeling that we are giving too much of our power away to others.  Because people label themselves as spiritual, metaphysical or master teachers does not mean they are anything more than ego-driven and their words come from their own delusions.  TRUST YOURSELF.

You don’t need intermediaries to reach higher states or higher awareness.  You possess these states NOW.  An old yogic story says that we each have an inner light that is covered by many sheaths that we don’t see at first.  As we go through various life experiences we remove coverings until we sense, feel and see a little light.  More experiences, which is why we are here, and more sheaths are removed until the light within blazes forth.

We are not looking to avoid life or our experiences but we should understand them in the context of what they might be teaching us about ourselves.

In love, with love and through love.

Dreams

Dreams have played such a significant part in the life of scientists, poets, politicians, musicians and so many other professions.

Robert Louis Stevenson said, “I depend on the ‘little people’, who work in the nocturnal theatre of my mind whenever it is necessary to conceive a new story.”  “And for the little people, what shall I say, they are by my Brownies, God Bless Them!  They who do one-half my work for me while I am fast asleep.”

Plutarch “placed importance to dreams in the regulation of his life and conduct.  Dreams governed his judgement and his philosophy according to their sage instructions which were conveyed to him whilst his body was at rest.”

Gandhi had been eagerly seeking ways to free his people from colonial subjugation.  After weeks of meditation, “he had a dream which suggested that the people of India suspend their usual business activities for twenty-four hours and devote the time to fasting and prayer.”

Elias Howe said that the “core idea for the invention of the sewing machine came through a dream.  In his dream, Howe had been captured by cannibals.  They were preparing to cook him and were dancing around the fire waving their spears.  He noticed at the head of each spear, there was a small hole through the shaft and the up and down motion of the spears remained with him when he awoke.  The idea of passing the thread through the needle close to the point, not at the other end was a major innovation in making mechanical sewing possible.”

Dimitri Mendeleyev in 1869 was trying to conceptualize a way to categorize the chemical elements based upon their weights.  He stated, “I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required.”  As a result of this dream, the periodic table of elements were created.

Otto Loewi was a Nobel Prize winner with his experiment demonstrating the chemical transmission of nerve impulses to a frog’s heart.  Loewi stated, “The experiment was conceived through one of his dreams.”
Niels Bohr was instrumental in the discovery of atomic energy.  He attributed to a dream, both his discovery of the type of hydrogen atom that is named after him and the idea of the atomic ‘mushroom.’  The information he received in his dreams was not substantiated by research until 15 years later.

Wolfgang Goethe claimed that many of his poems came to him in his dreams.

William Burroughs said, “a good part of my material comes from dreams.  A lot of it is just straight transcriptions of dreams with some amplification, of course.”

Srinivasa Ramanjan was a great mathematician from India.  He said that a Hindu Goddess named Namakkal would appear to him in his dreams and present him with mathematical formula which he would verify after awaking.  His accomplishments were so substantial that a commentator in Scientific American stated, “it was doubtful so prodigious a feat had ever before been accomplished in the history of thought.”

Perhaps some are thinking that these were famous people and they dream different than you.  Perhaps they are well known and famous due to the fact that they paid attention to and acted upon their dreams!

WE all dream several times per evening whether you recall them or not.  Many individuals have remarked that their dreams are often silly or don’t make much sense.  Even the individuals that I listed remarked that they also had dreams that were not always so profound.

WE all have this incredible aspect within us that provides a conduit to a much greater state of awareness.  Many people have asked me about how they might recall their dreams.  I suggest that you keep a legal pad and pen next to your bed.  This is letting ‘your dreamer’ know that you are serious about remembering and acting upon your dreams.

When you wake up from a dream, you don’t need to turn on a light, just use your hands to find the top of the pad and write lines while slowing raising up the pad.  Who know what interesting, informative, profound and earth-shaking information that you will share through your dreams.

Dream True.
