Deeper awareness calls for keen focus -rjs

DEEPER AWARENESS NEEDS FOCUSING
Are you feeling an overall sense of disconnect from the past and dissociation with all flesh? A feeling of sheer joy replete with a ‘knowing’ that it’s finally permanent? A contentment within that’s effervescing on yours and everyone else’s path? Not quite there yet? Join the club – I’m the president!

I’ve been at it a very long time but that’s okay because I recognize that sharing my path IS my calling and is only for the purpose of blessing you. I’ve made some strides of late that have me gobsmacked with wonder!

And yet I still revisit issues of the past – not anywhere near as much as I used to, but enough to mention to you now. Oh, the issues themselves aren’t important per se but utilizing them to go deeper into spirituality with its requisite absolute forgiveness has brought on some strange and wonderful fruitage.

It got me wondering why I had received a directive to get a Ph.D. I had endured unmitigated abuse of the worst kind – not physical, but mental, throughout my life, so then I was to come out a victor with special qualifications! Many, many times I’ve made such brazen statements about the nature and allness of God that the reader wound up doing a search on me, thinking I was some kind of a nut, only to find a nut with a doctorate!

My statement to the world that hopes for enlightenment is “a little feel-good experience now and then won’t get you where you yearn to be: it’s just not enough! It’s waaaay not enough! When you arrive at that spiritual feel-good, you’re merely approaching the front door: it’s time to pull out everything you know about God ‘n you and apply, apply, apply til the cows come home! Once stable, don’t back off or back away, keep applying what you already know until the world dream is demolished – stripped of its hypnotic hold. Amen.”

Super easy focusing exercise -rjs

SUPER EASY FOCUSING EXERCISE

“I am not in this scenario that’s being depicted on tv.”

How do you know specifically?

“I don’t know any of the people there. I don’t know where or when it took place and there’s nothing in it that resonates with me.”

How does this recognition impact your present spiritual journey?

“It’s like a model of what is NOT happening. I can actually feel how clearly and completely and easily it can be for me to withdraw my attachment to the entire realm of the unreal. It’s as simple as waking from a dream.”

Imagine the favorable ramifications of this focusing exercise on anyone hoping to effectively dismiss an unwanted pull away from their cherished goal.

Rupert & Joel -RS, JSG

A P P L I C A T I O N O F R U P E R T S P I R A

A word substitution lends itself greatly to healing in the below quote of Rupert Spira, [brackets, mine]:

“If separation [disease, lack, any problem] were real, we would have to get rid of it. However, separation [disease, lack, any problem] is an illusion.

“Attempting to get rid of an illusion only asserts its apparent reality, thereby strengthening it.”

The bottom line is that all materiality – its ups and downs, sickness, disease, death are unreal in Spirit, therefore unreal. Apply this truth to any ailment – fully and completely – and watch said ailment dissipate (an intransitive verb meaning of its own accord).

Then elsewhere Rupert Spira advises us “At a certain stage, our former interpretation of God or reality changes…as our knowledge is expanded…so that the model or prevailing paradigm can no longer accomodate our expanding knowledge.”

We would do well to keep our language very, very flexible in order that it might accommodate our never ending awakening!

Spiritual assertions -rjs

S P I R I T U A L – A S S E R T I O N S

[This is just a spontaneous practice of mine. There is no particular order. Its purpose is to encourage everyone to generate their own personal list.]

• I am Spirit, God.
• Absolutely everyone is Spirit, God.
• Spirit, God, is Perfection.
• I am Perfection.
• I am not one iota smarter, better, healthier, stronger, brighter, than anyone else.
• I am no less guilty than anyone else.
• “That person” is Omnipotence, just like me.
• No bad memory exists.
• That entire horrific world scenario never happened.
• We don’t ignore physical reality: we see through it.
• Nothing has a grip on my consciousness.
• I see everyone as free and as whole as myself.
• I’m not a good, loving mortal: I’m not a mortal at all.
• In Spirit, that devastating event never occurred.
• Spirit is the only reality.
• Not one person has ever exploited me. Ever.
• I am ever-present.
• I was never born into a material body.
• That incident also never occurred.
• It really never happened.
• Everything that seems to have occurred was but a stepping-stone in illusion.
• Not one unloving or loving human being ever existed.
• I do see all of this – and infinitely more – clearly now.
• Nothing is lacking.
• I am in automatic higher consciousness.

Get really serious -rjs

READY TO GET REALLY SERIOUS?
Sometimes I kid around to enjoy a bit of levity.
This is not one of those times.
I’m finding I have less and less tolerance for counter-productive, ineffective meditation or prayer.
I say this with great joy because I’m sure everyone would readily agree there’s neither distance nor time in God.
I don’t wish to employ anything outside myself to control my thinking using some quasi-hypnotic methodology being piped in from an outside source.
TAKE SPIRIT ALL THE WAY.
QUIT YOUR BOTTOM – UP (MATTER-BASED) THINKING AND QUESTIONING: IT ONLY RETARDS.
You want to go to the kitchen, to the store, to the beach, to a faraway country, to another planet?
You’re already there: only your so-called body has to catch up.
Spirit, the Matrix, the Field, the Universe, God, Mind, Soul, Life, Love … Where are they? EVERYWHERE !!!
Absolutely everywhere!
When are we mere mortals gonna fess up and realize we’re going about it all wrong when we ask idiotic matter-based questions about Spirit?
Confusion in = confusion out!
JUST TAKE THE SIMPLEST, MOST BASIC TRUTH THAT YOU KNOW. Take it for all it’s worth, and then some.
You could meditate all day long on the ramifications of I Am That I.
I = God = you = God
All day long. Whenever a lesser thought invades, hit it with “God is the ISness that consists of All. Or, simply, God is All.
