A Lesson on Expectation.

You are wondering about expectation. What to expect next. The best policy is to expect nothing, and yet to be open to everything. To discount nothing so your mind can become a fertile ground for new ideas. When you think too hard or concentrate too much, it often happens that no valuable thoughts come, because you block the creative flow of thinking. It is when you least expect it that thoughts come seemingly out of the blue that you have an Ahah! Experience, and you wonder where that thought came from. This moment happens when you expect nothing, so that anything can happen. So it is with life’s circumstances; you cannot really force anything but you can allow everything to unfold according to the will of God.

This is the most adventurous and productive way to live. It is not good to live a totally structured and regimented way of life. Many people are so rigid in their thinking, that they have deep grooves / channels in their brain. Their thoughts always follow the same predictable path because things have always been done that way. Therefore it is very difficult for them to accept new concepts, because they would need to change their view on how they see the world, and this can create fear of the unknown. It is this kind of thinking along the old and trusted pathways which is unprogressive, and leads to a sleepy way of living, because spirit is denied the opportunity to drop new ideas in those minds.

The synapses between the impulses have dried up because the gap between them has become to deep for the electrical impulses to jump over to connect the thoughts. The more one engages in imaginative thinking, the livelier the synapses become, and the more connections are being made. Now we come to the left and right hemisphere of the brain. In the male, the mathematical/logical make sense of things left brain is more developed, while in the female the right intuitive/spontaneous feeling right half of the brain is better developed. The secret of life is to develop these hemispheres equally by over-bridging the Corpus Callosum which divides the two. This over-bridging happens already in early childhood through imaginative play and problem solving, with simple materials like building-blocks and other educational toys.

Children need to learn this without having too many electronic distractions, as their minds are as yet uncharted territory. In this manner they already learn not to expect a thing, and yet anything to happen, as long as they are not restricted with too many do’s and don’ts. This will prevent rigidity in thinking, while the urge to explore stays lively and connected to the reality of the spontaneity of spirit. In this way a valuable method of learning is being established at the best possible time for life-long ongoing learning.

A Lesson on Stillness
 
Today I desire to teach you a lesson on Stillness.  (The word is capitalized due to its importance.)  It is not just the Stillness of your prayers.  If you would sit awhile longer in a prayerful attitude, I would get a chance to give you an answer.  Here lies the problem for you as humans; when you pray for something, you never sit still for long enough to listen and hear an answer.  This is the reason why it is so difficult to hear because you don’t train yourself in this as you are too beset with the busy-ness of life.  Life would become so much easier if you would develop a calm demeanour, which, again, you can only develop in the Stillness of your heart.

Many hearts are becoming dis-eased because they are not at ease, but full of unrest.  A restless heart lets you know that something is not quite right in the arena of emotional thought.  The causes are often unresolved grief, unforgiveness, hurts, real or imagined, anger, bitterness, jealousy, feelings of helplessness and more.  The heart never attacks but the cause of an attack is set in motion by the humans themselves.  Of course the lack of sound, basic and adequate nutrition consisting of living foods like fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds in their natural state can not be overlooked.

However, the main reason is still the restlessness within, a negative thought-stream, which finds itself expressed somewhere in the body as a maladjustment.  Oh yes, I note your thinking: What about genetics, don’t they play a role?  Of course they do, but here again, even the DNA is be-influenced either favourably or unfavourable by the thinking pattern of the individual.  Remember the phrase, the sins of the parents are visited upon their children.  Therefore, a negative attitude towards life does have its repercussions in offspring down the line.  Similarly, when much fear is being inhaled by every breath the human takes, it will sooner or later have its repercussions.

The human psyche is very complex, but it is the attitude of the owner which influences this.  You can now see, where I am going with the subject of Stillness.  The younger a child is being taught to meditate, the sooner the habits are formed for a healthier life; a less stressful life, because it has learned to go into the Silence of its own inner heart-chamber to connect up with the Source of its being.  And so the child develops a faith and trust in a benevolent Creator.  Would that humans everywhere could make an effort to take time out from their stressful lives, and sit in a prayer-full attitude with an inner ear poised to hear an answer from their own Still Small Voice!

This would lead to a calmer demeanour as they learn to carry the Stillness as their auric energy field about them, become less frazzled, and the whole mental, emotional and physical system would then benefit by the cultivation of the spiritual part of themselves.

A Lesson on Stillness (2).
 
I Am that Spark of Light, that desires to speak to you more clearly.  It seems so very difficult for mortals to still their minds so they can hear a Voice that is immortal, and then it is so natural to disbelief that this is possible for one to hear this Voice.  Thus, these very first faint beginnings are dismissed and a door gets closed, mainly due to fear and unbelief.  I tell you right now, dear one, that many doors get closed through unbelief and the disbelief that such is possible, especially when one has not gone through this experience, and yet you know, unmistakably even now, as these words form in your mind and you write them down.

I Am that Point of incredible stillness, that void of nothingness in which yet everything exists and becomes possible, because with God, all things are possible, and I Am a part of God.  Can you grasp this stupendous fact that there is a Spark of God living within you?  Ponder this, so you will more often desire to spend more time with Me in this healing Stillness where God and mortal companion each other, where all worries and stress fall into nothingness.  Here calmness reigns, frazzled nerves get a chance to untangle themselves, and the soul gets nurtured into a greater growth.  When you leave this Stillness you are ready to do yet another day’s battle in your daily life, but somehow everything seems a lot calmer, because your mind has become clearer, and you can serve your brothers and sisters with a greater love in your heart, as you are beginning to have a clearer connection with Me and an increasing faith and trust in the rightness and the assurance that you are not going insane, because you are learning to listen to a Voice.

I even try to speak to those who do not, or will not, listen.  Each so-called normal mind has a Spark of God within them.  Those who do not know are better off than those who do know, but will not take the time and learn to listen to their own inner Voice, and even deride others, who do.  It is a totally individual endeavour, which each can experience for themselves.  Those lives are blessed who dare to believe that there is Someone greater than themselves living within them.  Of course they may feel inadequate and unsure at first to hear Me clearly.  It does take consistent practice and a daily dedication on their part to take time for Stillness.  However, of one thing they can always be certain; I Am there, waiting for them, even though I may not speak and yet they will feel nurtured and peaceful as My deep peace pervades them.

Become more mindful of My Presence in your daily comings and goings.  For God is good, all the time, and there is nothing to fear about God.

A Lesson on Responsibility.
 
Today’s lesson will be on responsibility.  Responsibility, or rather being responsible for the actions one undertakes, has been very little understood by the majority of the people on this planet.  Actions often follow spontaneous thoughts, or are carried out in the heat of the moment, without much thoughts given to the consequences, which surely follow and bring their own responsibility with them.  One of the most deplorable actions on this planet is the thoughtless and random coupling between young people, or anyone engaging in reckless, or excessive sex-acts.  The fact remains that this act can bring with it dire consequences with an awesome responsibility; that of an unwanted baby.

This is most abhorrent to the loving heart of the Creator God and all of the angelic realm.  The true light of such a little one is already marred by the thoughtless, selfish, and often unkind and most unloving act when the male forces himself upon the female, whereas this coming together to create offspring ought to be one of great joy and caring.  Such an act bears a great responsibility for those who create a new life, as they are unwittingly co-creators with the Eternal Creator, since the Infinite Spirit through Her Creative Daughters, gives the Spark of Life.  Life is to be held sacrosanct, and this is not as yet happening on the planet.  Therefore, this world is still counted among the backward and barbaric planets from the eternal point of view.

Even though this planet is advancing materially, it lacks the stabilizing influence of personal spirituality and self-control.  This needs to be corrected before this planet can attain a semblance of balance.  Returning to our topic of responsibility, anyone who is unwilling, or not ready to have children, needs to prevent having them.  This is a necessary responsibility for both male and female.  It is an abomination to God to simply abort these little ones as life begins at conception.  And although the female gives birth, the male carries the greater responsibility, as they are the caretakers of the female while the baby is as yet unborn.  It simply does not do to walk away afterwards, and let the female carry the burden of an unwanted child, often without much needed help or sustenance.  This responsibility lies with the male, entirely.

To walk away is totally irresponsible and selfish, and it shows a gross lack of self-control and disrespect on the part off the male towards the female.  The sooner the lesson is taught to young people to respect each other, and the sooner they have learned to think about the consequences of their actions before acting on impulse regarding this act, the sooner this blight of unwanted and unloved children is eradicated from this planet.  This is the ideal circumstance in which to practice self-control and self-discipline.  Think what it would feel like to not be wanted, and to be looked upon as a temporary plaything.  Be aware of the life-long responsibility this act brings if it culminates in a new life.

This always needs to be faced, eventually, and eternal life is a long time to think back on your earth-life, and how you lived it.  Shunned responsibility is never easy to own up to, but there is no evading it.

A Lesson on Imagination (2).

Today’s topic will also be on imagination -- the richness of imagination as well as the dangers of imagination.  First of all, it needs to be said that mortals are far more capable of imagination for good than what is used at present.  Most of what has been imagined into existence so far -- and yes, what the mind can conceive it can also achieve has brought forth much good.  It has also turned this ability towards the dark side, and for the negative, rather than to the light and positive outcomes.  The point I am endeavouring to make here is that as soon as there is a new discovery with a possibility for mankind to progress, there is also the possibility to regress.  The propensity to develop weapons and machinery for mass destruction is a blatant example of this.

This is a great misuse of the God-given bequest of imagination.  Likewise is this true of all discoveries with chemicals and with their negative side-effects, which they dare to call medicine, knowing full well the disastrous side-effects on the delicate human system in order to slowly destroy it, lulling the majority of humankind into thinking that all these things are good for them.  Through their well-thought-out publicity campaigns and pronouncements in the media, which the gullible, uninformed and trusting public accept as gospel, so they run out and spend their hard-earned money on these so-called remedies which ultimately destroy not only their bodies but also their minds, while the ability to think clearly, is jeopardized, and the soul languishes in darkness as the result of being under-nourished, and withers and dies.

Another point I need to raise here is that the imagination can run awry too in over-imagination especially when it is stressed, or under-imagination, in which case it gets dulled.  There is a great need for each and everyone to take the time to commune in the Stillness.  Take time and remove yourself from your own thoughts and imaginings.  Learn to still the mind.  Although this is a most difficult art to master, it is not impossible.  Turn off all the mechanical noises outside yourself. Find a place where you will not be disturbed.  Learn to filter out ordinary outside noises and persevere, at first for short periods at a time.  Over-doing anything is never beneficial to the human system.

There is in each one a still point, a Point of Stillness, where the body and mind regenerate and rejuvenate, and where the soul gets nourished.  Find this Point.  It is your private connection to the All That Is.  Train yourself in this most beneficial self-discipline, which becomes the point of self-regeneration.  It is the Point where things, which are muddy in your mind, become clearer.  This is the Point where you learn about unconditional Love, where you will feel totally accepted just the way you are.  This is the Point from which you can go forth to do yet another day’s battle in your mortal existence.  Allow this truth and fact to sink into your imagination, so your soul can fly on the wings of hope and faith before the throne of Almighty God, to sing your songs of thanksgiving to the Creator, who in His Imagination gifted you with a tiny part of Himself, and included the freedom to choose for the positive or the negative.  Which will you choose from moment to moment?

A Lesson on Imagination (3).

Let us again spend some thoughts on imagination.  This is a rich tool which is often misused, abused, underused and unfortunately overused in a negative way.  So where do we draw the line?  All throughout history, it is the imagination which has propelled humanity forward, but as with anything else, there are always negative propensities connected with any discovery, which allow humanity to be dragged back again, usually through the design of more negative tools, like the killing machines used to wage war.  This happens all in the name of so-called progress, but it is usually due to greed and the hunger for power.  This planet indeed has gone through a most chequered career due to the negative influences left over from the Lucifer rebellion which happened some 250.000 years ago.  Its influence is still being felt, and it has played out throughout the history of the planet.  The planet is left far behind in her evolution compared to her more normally evolving sister planets, where war is slowly being eradicated due to wise and far-seeing imaginative minds living upon them.

The space program is one of the most imaginative thus far but yet again the negativity seems to gain the upper hand as some nefarious minds conceive and talk about weapons in space and for what, the celestials do wonder?  The fear mongering has gone on far too long, and innocent citizens, who prefer to live in peace, are daily confronted with talks about terrorists and the need to defend yourself from them.  Let us get one thing straight here: Thoughts held in mind, produce after their kind. It is simply the law of cause and effect.  The more people fall prone to negative thought forms like fear, the more fearful things will become.  This is a self-fulfilling prophecy.  The things you fear the most, will surely come to pass, as such adheres to the law of attraction.

Let us take this way of thinking and turn it around and start imagine peace, and peace will surely come to pass when each person, one at a time, persists in spreading this benign virus in their immediate environment, so others get the bug and start to imagine for peace too.  Humanity needs to wake up and use this God-given gift for the purpose it was intended -- for the good of humanity.  The malicious virus of fear has even taken a hold in religions which are held in bondage due to this fear.  Throw off those shackles, and become the free children of the Eternal Creator.

Use your imagination coupled with faith and trust in the goodness of God, for the upliftment of this planet, for God is good, all of the time, and it matters not what you call this eternal Deity who is far above and beyond what your puny minds can conceive and belief.  Stand up and be counted among His peace-loving children.  Dare to grow into the child you are meant to be, and see the positive in life and don’t give fear any more power.  In other words, walk on the sunny side of the street with a loving and faith-filled heart.

A Lesson on Light.
 
Today I desire to speak on the subject of light.  Not just light you can see with the naked eye, but the Light which exists in each mortal with the capability to think and make decisions.  It is being in the normal awareness of life, of being aware of life itself.  Of being aware of and having appreciation of life.  It is having the potential capability to gather wisdom, born of seasoned experience, not the knowledgeable wisdom gained from books or of having heard someone else’s opinion on something.  This remains knowledge as long as it has not been tested by living through it by experience.

Light is like experienced wisdom, because light knows.  It knows what needs to be done in certain situations, because the Light of wisdom shines on it so no shadow of a doubt remains.  Light contains truth, it is always honest to the depth of being.  This is the way I would describe Light for you, because in truth and in fact, I Am that Light you see by.  I Am that Pilot Light that guides you into truth, as I Am a Spark of the Source of Light, who is All Light.  Many there are, who flounder around in darkness, not having seen the Light and yet are proposing to know it all, and to have all the necessary knowledge and claim to have all the wisdom to become the rulers and judges of the people, to rule and create laws for others to live by.

I tell you right now, if your so-called rulers recognized their own lights and the lights in others, there would be no more wars and the world would be no longer ruled by the greed motive and the urge for war as it is now.  This financing of war machinery would be far better spent in cleaning up the planet, before the nations start to destroy each other together with all the most promising strains of the human stock, which provides the back-bone of human society, while the less desirable and war-loving strains keep on propagating.  These matters need to be kept in balance.

More care needs to be taken in educating the young and teaching them that each human being with the capacity to think and make decisions carries the Spark of Light within them, and that they, too, can strife to be the best they can be, so their light can shine more brighter to help uplift the planet.  Teach them to sit in the Stillness of their hearts, so they may discern and discover the Source of their light and in return respect this Light in others.  This is the most essential and needed teaching to be passed on down the line like a torch.

A Lesson on Desire.

Let us continue our lessons today with a few words on desire -- actually on the true desires of the human heart -- which are so seldom heard above the din of the world with its stressors, calamities, frustrations and disappointments, besides the many wishes humans entertain in the secret chamber of their hearts, which can include unhealthy, wrong and negative thoughts.  In truth and in fact, there are very few truly healthy hearts on this planet, for it is not only the physical heart I am alluding to, but also the mental/emotional and spiritual heart.  Health comes first and foremost from the person’s mindset, which also influences everything the mortal mind thinks and acts upon.

It would be a worthwhile exercise to stop and think about your mindset. Is it predominantly happy or sad? What triggers the gamut of emotions? Might there be a chemical imbalance, which needs to be corrected by natural means? Are you stubborn or easy to get along with?  Of course, I am only citing a few extreme examples, but these can allow one to consider, because every small thought is not really all that small, as it also influences everything down the line like a domino effect.  Your own thoughts can poison you, and they can also make you well.  And who does not desire health?

Well then, finally we have arrived at the beginning of our talk.  By now it ought to be clear how important it is to, on each day, spend some time in the stillness, as here lies the greatest healing, the greatest upliftment of the human spirit, the greatest nourishment for the mind, body and soul. And finally, the physical system gets a well-deserved chance to unwind. It gives tired nerves a chance to balance out by you taking a breather from the stressors of life, allowing the cellular level of the body responds in kind by lowering the blood pressure. If you persevere in taking this daily exercise, it becomes a most beneficial occasion to take in these spiritual vitamins, to finally listen to that Still Small Voice within, which can impart the desires of your heart to you. Your true heart’s desires are peace of mind, oneness experiences with the All That Is, a love infusion, and a desire to do good to others, without selfish motivation.

You realize that I am speaking about the purest and sincerest intentions of the heart, as those are the true healers of body, mind and spirit.  It is the purest of desires which lead you God-ward and those desires are deeply buried in each heart.  It is up to each mortal to discover these desires.  So shall life become victorious and well-lived from the celestial viewpoint.  All you have to do is ask for a pure heart, soul and mind.  Daily persist in this, and over time, in looking back, you will notice how this has changed you for the better.
