When you have found your Spiritual Self, it is the center of an Infinite universe. And all of infinity is pouring always to that Center, and through it. Never are you limited to your own human abilities. Nothing is impossible; there is no limitation, there is no height, there is no ceiling. The Infinite Self will always express Its own Infinite Self through your Divine Center. As you’re living in the knowledge of One Divine Life, I am, my neighbor is, my friend is-all are. I am that Divine Center of Infinity. And then let go, and accept what Infinity pours into your life.

Your infinite realization

… You can live in the Infinite Self, looking within, and your entire life will unfold within your Infinite Realization. You will not be looking from the within to the without. You will not be looking at an external world outside of you. Everything that happens in Infinity, happens within Infinity. And we are all that One Infinite Divine Self, we will now see the world happen within that Infinite Self and under Infinite Law, to the degree that we are able to let ourselves make this change of Consciousness, from the finite, mortal, dying self to the Infinite Divine, undying Eternal Self, the One Life that ever was, and ever will be, and never began, and never will end. This is how you will come, ultimately, to that seventh step, which is the Christ Consciousness completely realized unto eternity.

Life vs. Ego – Mooji

Life has its own life.
It flows along its own course
in spite of the ever restless
projections of the ego.
The apparent autonomy of the ego is,
unknown to itself, included inside
the cosmic current of existence,
for, in Truth, none can act independently
or contrary to the will of
the Supreme Being.
~ Mooji

Spirit is more exciting

This may be a robinism coz I never saw it written but I’ve been at this stuff a very long time: our human (mortal) lives are full of color and drama and memories and relationships, so they seem sooo real. We try to flesh out the Spirit realm with the only thing we know. What we fail to realize is that Spirit is infinitely more colorful, rich, dramatic, exciting and restful than we with our little peanut-sized brains could fathom.

I am water!

I AM WATER

If a drop of water were to declare
“I am water!”
would everyone ask it
“How can you make such a
brazen statement about yourself?
Did you create the oceans
and the ships upon them?
Did you divine a way to freeze
and then evaporate yourself?
Are you greater than
Almighty Water?”

You have heard that you must
deny the thoughts from the
carnal mind, then add truth.
Try this if you’re ready: skip the denial.
Immediately flood your precious mind
with Truth, Truth, Truth.
In other words, don’t give that ol’
bugaboo the right time of day!
Don’t stay where you don’t want to be
One moment longer!

God will take over & things’ll get sweet

This hints at something I want to write about today, namely: YOU KNOW THAT YOU WANT THE FULL PRIZE, LIVING FULLY AWARE OF SPIRIT, BUT CAN’T QUITE SEEM TO GET THERE? My best advice: Do it humanly. Be prepared … finally … for probably the first time ever … to put all your eggs in one basket. Do the human shutting out, ushering in, shutting out, quieting, quieting, quieting. Be willing to do WHATEVER IT TAKES TO SHUT OUT HUMAN SENSE, WORLD-MIND. God will step in and take over for you … and that’s when things’ll start really getting sweet!!!

REFERRED TO THIS POST FROM LAST YEAR:

Have you died to this world? I mean really given it up? Have you met with some persecution and wondered why it was nearly painless? Have things been shifting in strange ways, only to settle down in remarkable harmony? That’s the Holy Spirit loving you!

“Be not afraid: it is I”, said Jesus. We have but to rest in the infinitude of His be-ing, bouyed up with omnipotent Spirit. The world can shriek and sulk, but you are unmoved, unimpressed, undaunted and free – such is Papa’s love for his darling child: you.
