Speaking My Truth… core spirituality… my personal journey

(Last night I received an unexpected surprise message from a family member that was filled with hate and mean spirited anger, it was consumed with the feeling of delusion, this person is suffering deeply as a result of their own ideas,notions, and opinions. This prompts me to take a moment to write on speaking my truth. We all encounter these uncomfortable moments at some place in our journey. What we do with this kind of human interaction is significant.)

“You don’t need to have any attachment, nor allocate any importance, to whether a person “believes you” or thinks that you are “full of BS”.

Why?

Because when you speak your truth, your reality, your seeing, you can fully accept that their seeing can be different. And it’s OK!

When we value without agendas, we are free from the agendas of others.”

*******************************************************************************************

As spiritual beings having the human experience….

……. we typically incarnate with the amnesia of our most authentic spiritual memory. While here we then test out our ideas, beliefs and the realities around us for the experiences this will bring to us.

While in these physical bodies we can believe whatever we choose regardless of the genuine reality that exists in any situation. Our internal state of emotions, our health and mental states will reflect back to us the results of those beliefs, and ideas thru the universal principle of action = reaction. ( see previous post entitled  Living in a Box Called Human)

When we state what is truth to us, we are stating our own true experience as we believe it to be,or experience it to be. This is subjective and will reflect back to us feeling messages that will show us something about our own ideas.

How we feel at this point is the message in the learning of our experience.

Our growing edge.

When we are off the mark in terms of universal truth we feel this as a lessening of our sense of lightness and loving, our very spiritual nature is diminished.

When we are on the mark we feel this as light and loving, our spiritual nature is enhanced.

We can always gauge what it is we believe to be true, or truthful by how we feel this.

Our personal truth may purely subjective and when this is so there will be an agenda. This agenda is fueling the position we take and will separate us in some way. And then diminish the larger perspective of universal lightness and love.

Where as when our personal truth is objectively shaped the agenda will be love and the corresponding feelings are light and inclusive with understandings, and the agenda becomes no agenda.

The 3^rd Point of View

Sometimes we are able to hold our sense of truth as our subjective stance in total objectivity and then we align with a universal understanding that will serve all parties and bring lightness and loving to the situation, this we can feel as a gauge to where we are making our stand in any situation.

When we are stuck in peoples stances of agenda we may see that we too have an agenda.

When we are overly subjective we become exclusive in our agenda.

When we take a universal stance we become inclusive in to our agenda and that becomes no agenda at all!

This is how we test reality here.

This is a process, takes time, and is different for every individual.

I tend to be kind here because I realize we are all in different spectrum’s of spiritual awareness. Life is all about testing our own notions of what we believe or think to be true.

Our greatest service to one another is our capacity to be completely honest with ourselves and one another. Thru this we are able to navigate thru the various ideas,notions, beliefs, and agendas that come our way. Our sense of personal integrity and honesty will point us toward the universal, genuine truth-fullness in any scenario.

Without a commitment to personal integrity and honesty we become subjected to delusion. Delusion is another path toward the truth that requires living that idea until it becomes real. Without the realness any idea “it” is only a delusion.

Some individuals live thru their delusions as powerful opportunities to learn about what is true so that they will engage all the emotions of a particular agenda, be it genuine or not. This experience guarantees that the person will feel all the emotions of that agenda until this delivers them to living out what is real. The pain of delusion guarantees an experience that will ultimately deliver one to genuine truth-fullness. However this may take an entire lifetime, or many lifetimes. Delusion is always living something out that is not real. That is why it is called a delusion!

Our “wake up” calls come to us in life in perfect divine order, this is my belief. Thus whenever I encounter this kind of stuff I know that I am getting another opportunity to wake up. This results in the strengthening of genuine personal integrity in me. I find this amazing.

When I am personally affronted with angry delusions from another I am drawn into my own state of integrity even further. Without malice or ill intent what so ever. This is the complete opposite reaction the person thinks is going to occur. This stops the cycle and flow of delusion as it touches me. And only shows me more of how I may be anchored in universal true integrity as a spiritual being…… having my own human experience.

Surrender & Forgive….core spirituality….my personal journey

 

“Until you surrender the need to know why things happened to you as they did, you will hold on to your wounds with intense emotional fire.

Your mind will want to heal, but your pride, anger and emotions will remain caught up in wanting to make sure that the people who hurt you fell bad about what they’ve done.

Or you may want to hurt them back. But rest assured, your emotional self will remain attached to the unfinished business rooted in feelings of abandonment and humiliation, of having lost something or been cheated.

Your mind may do what’s required for healing and go through all the prescribed steps, but your heart will never fully participate in the healing process.

In the end, forgiveness is an act of release, surrendering the need for an explanation. From that prospective, forgiveness has nothing to do with the individuals who harmed you.

It is the act of accepting that there is a greater map of life, through which flow many rivers of events and relationships, all interconnected.

Forgiveness is your release form the hell of wanting to know what cannot be known and from wanting to see others suffer because they have hurt you.”

Behind Every Complaint is a DEEP PERSONAL LONGING

Relationship expert and researcher John Gottman says,

 

“Behind every complaint is a deep personal longing.”

Knowing this gives all of us a very powerful tool for better understanding our own and each other’s experience and potentially transforming a lot of suffering at the same time.

In other words, try listening for the longing and responding to that – rather than focusing on the superficial complaint.

True Divinity by Matt Kahn #2

“Often times, the most powerful way to support the awakening of humanity is to make peace with boredom, instead of filling it with more things to fix or greater outcomes to chase.

Simply by becoming soft, gentle, peaceful, and loving in the presence of boredom, you assist all hearts in existence to surrender to the light of their highest authority.

This is the trans-formative power of unity consciousness.”

True Divine Nature by Matt Kahn

 

 

 

 

“Whether you have become dissatisfied with your current environment of experiences, disappointed by others, or believe a new batch of achievements and outcomes can cure your despair, your heart cannot open until you realize how deeply you are starving for your own attention.

Maybe it only feels foreign or daunting to learn how to provide yourself with the loving attention that no else can offer you when your heart is closed.

 

This is why learning how to open your heart opens the floodgates of your most profound spiritual discovery.

Just as you cannot control stress, adversity, pain or fear, you cannot force healing, awakening, and transformation to blossom in your life.

 

Instead, you can address the root cause of suffering and resolve the despair of hunger by offering yourself the attention that no one else can give you.

 

This is what it means to return to love.”

Music is so amazing

Snatam Kaur is one of my favorite spiritual sacred voices on this earth. This song is from the newest CD by Snatam Kaur and Peter Kater ~ Heart of the Universe

There is something in all of us that seeks the spiritual ~ the spiritual is inclusive. It is the deepest sense of belonging and participation. We all participate in the spiritual at all times , whether we know it or not. There is no place to go to be separated ~ When we seek connection, we restore the world to wholeness. Our seemingly separate lives become meaningful as we discover how truly necessary we are to each other .
Margaret Wheatley ~
If we think about it, we find that our life consists in achieving a pure relationship between ourselves and the living universe around us ~ this is how I ~ save my soul ~ by accomplishing a pure relationship between me and another person, me and a nation, me and a race of people, me and animals, me and the trees, or flowers, me and the skies and the sun and the stars ~ me and the moon ~~ an infinity of pure relationships, big and little ~ This, if we know it, is our life and our eternity, the subtle perfect relation between me and the circumambient universe ~~

Living In a Box Called “Human”… core spirituality…my personal journey

Inside the box of the human experience are all the limitations of a life lived in a three dimensional reality, based on ideas, thoughts, beliefs formed from inside that box. That world view is filled with thousands of dissertations, papers, speeches, histories, teachings, theories, and beliefs from this stand point alone.

 

Scientists who form their ideas of reality based on their limited perceptions from within the box. Religious leaders who write, preach, and teach their versions of life from the limited perceptions inside the box of a human experience.

Teachers teach theories all based on these notions that were all formed from within the box of a human experience.

History is repeated as virtual fact from the limits within the perceptions based in this little human experience inside the box.

People live and die basing their lives on all such notions that were created, formed, developed, and carried forth from within the limited space of this human box.

 

I find this quite interesting.

 

From the core spiritual perspective of the soul all of this is fantastic, and marvelous as we forget everything we knew before we came here. We allow amnesia of the greater reality of a universal life and get to encounter the unlimited surprises awaiting us thru choosing this spiritual amnesia.

 

It is a set up for discovery!

 

In fact we can completely ignore and deny anything that is not inside this box as if it does not exist.

 

And this is all simply the spiritual being having a human experience and it is magnificent.

 

There is built into this tremendous surprise as this stimulates the deeper, more internal spiritual self that temporarily left it’s memory of source and became incarnated. It is a fantastic experience to be able to do this and see what we can learn. It is part of the very matrix of a physical incarnation to have whatever comes up happen……. after we have had this amnesia take over our awareness.

 

We can literally believe whatever we choose without any basis in universal truth or reality and then see what happens!

 

The universal spiritual reality in contrast includes the human box and much more. In the human box we have religious beliefs that we can live by regardless of their actual truth in the larger scope of the universality of the spiritual reality beyond humanity’s ideas.

 

In spiritual reality we have unending love, tremendous capacity to understand limitations, cycles and realities that effect us. Source as us is everywhere and nowhere and exceeds any human idea or notion taught strictly from the human perspective.

 

We can feel this whenever we encounter encouraging ideas and beliefs that lift us up, help us transcend limits, encourage us to go on for there is always greater possibility awaiting. No actual eternal damnation, punishment or such. Pure unconditional loving acceptance of it all.

 

Direct from omnipotent, omnipresent Source ( God).

 

I find this amazing. There are vast principles of universal nature that effect everything in the spiritual perspective that we can count on. Such as action =reaction, and infinite love. Everything returns to its source not in earthly life but also in spiritual life as well. These are continuous and eternal and ever present.

 

When I stop to consider how much emotional and intellectual energy is being invested in beliefs and ideas that were formed by people who only developed these things from inside the very limited box of the human experience alone I find it staggering.

 

Once one is able to transcend the limits of their human selves and tap into the deeper more eternal nature of their souls this redirects ones awareness with amazing possibility. To leave the physical body and go beyond the limitations of this body and to experience the incredible vastness of creation and bring this back here is a marvelous re educating experience.

 

Sometimes we are able to do this even in our dreams as we recall the experiences we have outside the limits of our human selves. This is all very interesting. Sometimes people who have the near death experiences also are able to share what life is like beyond the box of the human perceptions. I love this. For others this can happen in deep prayerful states where a lighten-ing up of the human consciousness momentarily transcends the physical form, and the physical mind. Still for others this will occur in a moment of complete tragedy, or pain. We suddenly pop out of the box of the human perceptions and see and experience something totally beyond our current state of awareness.

 

When I stop to consider how human beings are free to stay in the box of their humanity for the experiences this will bring I am deeply moved at our creator, source. There is so much love in this.

 

When I stop to take in all the various boxes we place ourselves and watch the struggles I am astounded at how we are able to break out, break thru, break down and find transcendence. As well as live completely within a box and be totally happy!

 

As spiritual beings having a human experience our boxes serve as our classrooms of life. Eventually we seek to break out or break thru them, or simply live within them and be happy! It is all the majesty of life and the marvelous availability of choices we are able to make and to learn thru in each of our lifetimes.

 

We as spiritual beings having a human experience are availed the opportunity to learn about any emotion…. positive or negative.. happy or tragic… light or dark … easy or difficult. The variations on the human experience are amazing and we collectively are having them all.

 

We are as a species experiencing now, tremendous variations in polar opposites of life, all simultaneously. We are building boxes of reality and taking them down ….we are having so many interesting moments. All of this from the perspective of spirit having a human experience serves our knowledge and ideas about the nature of reality from within this box.

 

We are able to test our capacity to experience tremendous conflicts while loving at the same time.

 

We are able to witness horrific tragedy while developing infinite compassion as a result.

 

We can even learn what it feels like to hate and be hated even to the point of murder and mass annihilation. Many individuals are having all these experiences right now. We are able to learn our most intrinsic connectedness thru our greatest human divisions, we are able to learn our most loving understanding thru our most intense personal suffering and pains. We are free to make huge mistakes and learn from them, come back and do it all over again from the other side of the same equation life after life.

 

And source allows this to all unfold in us and thru us, around us so that we may have the opportunities to learn, to make our choices and see what this brings to us.

 

From my own experience in soul reviews I have witnessed how we even have many many lifetimes, here and many other planetary bodies… to explore the different themes, comedy tragedy, bitterness and sweetness, have a lot… have nothing, betray and be betrayed, experiences which include both the light and the dark of life, and our capacity to discover thru our creating.

 

Though all this is a constant change and this too is all part of the dynamic play of life as it unfolds. As entire groups of humans come to new conclusions based on our collective experiences. As we come to mutual understandings we rewrite our laws, we rephrase our words, we connect in new ways. We form new groups of humans with new purposes, directions, ideas.

 

The earth itself is in constant renewal and growth as we live within it. The oceans are changing….they are melting, they are moving up and in and out, the landscapes are shifting, the deep under ground is moving, new land is surfacing right here in Hawaii! Animals are disappearing, and changing. There are more animals living with humans beings now than probably every before in known human history. These animals are learning new relationships with their human counterparts. Adaptations continue to amaze our scientists as we learn more and more about how animals, insects and plants adjust to the environments in which they live.

 

The human mind is learning to see and develop new technologies as a result of the boxes we live in. These new technologies develop even newer ideas, potentials, and possibilities for our humanity. Our limitations bring us to our unlimited selves over and over and over again. Spiritual beings having their human experiences are re-conceiving life as we live it. This is all tremendously dynamic and co-creative. Were we to bring our full spiritual awareness into life as incarnate beings what would there be to learn, to discover, to surprise us?

 

Whatever box we live in ….it is there as a construct for the spiritual being in us to have the experience.

 

Whatever limits we live by thru conscious choice or unconscious choice it will bring to us some new thing to learn. From my own experience in lighter dimensions where access to the soul self is available we marvel at all the magnificent experiences we may choose thru having the human experience. In these lighter dimensions we know that which we are made, what it is we come from and there is no fear of ever truly being separate. We are that which we are made, that which we come. Being human is a temporary experience for the soul. The soul is a temporary experience for the light being, and the light being is only an expression of the source of itself.

The Choice of Authority….core spirituality… my personal journey

Authority carries consequence and shapes the directions our lives take on a daily basis. How we come to have authority on a daily basis may be a passive choice without much thought, with submission to ideas, people, rules, beliefs. Authority can also arise from deep reflection weighing against our own internal feelings and inclinations and spiritual ideas.

The choice of our authority in life is significant and important.

We are free to exercise just about any kind of authority we choose on earth ( from the soul perspectives). This is the actual right of the soul as it takes on the human form as spiritual beings having a human experience.

To learn by virtue of the choices of authority and the consequences this brings. It is all a learning.

From the soul perspective the wide spectrum of choices provide unlimited experiences. That we are right is not so much what is important, that we learn is. For this is the entire purpose of having freedom to choose. To freely decide and live with the consequences of our decisions. This can cause us to learn many important things about how life is actually designed as there is always an action=reaction response in situations where authority is being exercised. Our lives are about discovery! We may change our stances at any time!

Recently I witnessed a family member who was working with the idea of authority and how this works in the family setting with young children. We had a lively discussion which prompts me to write on this topic. In a series of days I listened as the question was asked why {?} by this person in authority. All day long, repeatedly over and over and day after day. The why question arose from the response to this person’s choice of authority with other members of the family.

Action = reaction . Not understanding the reaction part of this equation prompted the repeatedly asked question why? This is the growing edge of learning when we do not understand the response =reaction to our choice in situations of authority. I have heard this same question repeatedly now for several years in this scenario. I see the answer has yet to arrive. And so it goes this will repeat until the light bulb moment happens.

How we exercise our authority has as much bearing as the decisive element of that authority.For example we can be dominating, hard and overpowering, or we can be submissive and weak and nagging with a wide spectrum in between these polar opposites. The how component of exercising our authority delivers the message with another layer of action =reaction. As humans we send out messages thru different layers of communication styles. From the words we speak, the tone or feeling of those words, our body language as we express our words.

We may be congruent on all levels or we may not and this determines our effectiveness.

When expressing our authority this is significant in that on one level we may be saying one thing, on another we may be saying something different and even opposite. For example authority expressed in words that are strong but tones that are not and body language that is even more different is confusing and may weaken the overall message we intend to send.

Action =reaction will inform us of this. Clearly in such situations it is not the message itself, it is the messenger sending the message of their authority that is received. When the messenger of authority becomes the focus rather than the actual authority message itself personal conflicts will arise. Setting into motion a whole new set of circumstances that overlay and complicate the situation. It behooves us to learn to be congruent when choosing to take authority and to be effective. That includes tones of voice, body language, and words and consistency. Without this congruency and consistency our idea of authority is easily undermined and washed out with issues beyond the decisive words our authority is intended to convey. This looks like weak authority. This shifts the whole equation to the messenger and away from the message!

When we pay attention to the law of action and reaction in this incarnate world we give ourselves the learning model that experiences are intended to bring us. Without paying attention to how action and reaction work we miss valuable clues that can shorten the learning curve. We repeat and repeat and repeat. Often at the expense of painful scenarios to ourselves and to others. Not understanding that we are multidimensional beings with many layers of self expressing at one time…thoughts, deeds, feelings, all simultaneously pouring out of us complicates this equation.

In researching the various definitions of authority I found different layers of interpretations of this word for example: The power or right to give orders,make decisions, and enforce obedience. To control someone or something. To command. It is defined as a power or right, and allows one to punish for violations. Control is power or influence to applied to the complete and successful direction or manipulation of persons or things. Influence is a personal and unofficial power derived from deference to one’s character, ability, or station; it may be exerted unconsciously or thru persuasion. The power to settle issues or disputes to determine outcomes all come from authority. Confidence resulting from great expertise ; the violinist lacked authority in her cadenza. The word origin comes from the early 13^th century, autorite, latin auctoritatem, “invention,command,advice,opinion, influence” from auctor “master,leader, author”. When in the 16^th century it took on the french version meaning “power to enforce obedience”.

As spiritual beings having a human experience we all play with the various forms of authority while in life. We all review these choices and their consequences once the lifetime is finished. We want to see how we learned from our use of authority in life. This is a valuable discussion, a worthy reflection and meaningful to the quality of our lives.

The arena of authority is on a global scale one of the most worked with, most tested, most misused, most abused experiences humans are having. From the outreach of governmental authority, military authority, religious and spiritual authority. From personal authority to public authority the issue of this is one we are all attempting to define in our lives. We can submit and give our personal authority to external forces in wide spectrum’s and we can own our personal authority in widely different levels. To whom we give our authority, to who has authority over each of us is in question all over the entire planetary body of human civilization at this time. It is a big issue.

That we understand the nature of authority, and the spiritual principles this arises from and how this takes shape is an experience and reason we have so many different versions. We are many and on many different levels of spiritual understanding in this global humanity. Somehow we are all taking authority into our own hands in new ways that test this on a daily basis world wide. Individually and collectively as a species. What we do with the authority we create has significant and meaningful outcome to every one of us. Suffering and joy both are shaped by this very idea in all our lives.

Core spirituality……….my personal journey…Tennyson

“I see what was, and is, and will abide;
Still glides the Stream, and shall not cease to glide;
The Form remains, the Function never dies;
While we, the brave, the mighty, and the wise,
We Men, who in our morn of youth defied…
The elements, must vanish; -be it so!
Enough, if something from our hands have power
To live, and act, and serve the future hour;
And if, as toward the silent tomb we go,
Through love, through hope, and faith’s transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.”

I’ll Remember You

one of my favorite songs with hula

Olomana- Ku’u Home O Kahalu’u

Lyrics

I remember days when we were younger
We used to catch ‘o’opu in the mountain stream
‘Round the Ko’olau hills we’d ride on horseback
So long ago it seems it was a dream
Last night I dreamt I was returning
and my heart called out to you
But I fear you won’t be like I left you
Me kealoha ku’u home o Kahaluu

I remember days when we were wiser
When our world was small enough for dreams
And you have lingered there my sister
And I no longer can it seems
Last night I dreamt I was returning
and my heart called out to you
But I fear you won’t be like I left you
Me kealoha ku’u home o Kahaluu

Change is a strange thing
it cannot be denied
It can help you find yourself
or make you lose your pride
Move with it slowly
as on the road we go
Please do not hold on to me
we all must go alone

I remember days when we were smiling
When we laughed and sang the whole night long
And I will greet you as I find you
With the sharing of a brand new song
Last night I dreamt I was returning
and my heart called out to you
To please accept me as you’ll find me
Me kealoha ku’u home o Kahaluu

The Hawaiian Renaissance mixed traditional and contemporary. The actual world of Native Hawaiians included some undesirable realizations: (1) they no longer inhabited their own country; (2) their mother tongue was English; (3) their culture was largely Western; (4) they ranked very low in terms of education, health, and SES (socio-economic status) both locally and nationally; and (5) they lived in an anonymous global market economy. (Native Hawaiian Study Commission 1983; Pukui et al. 1972, 1979)

This song, “Ku`u Home o Kahalu`u” (My Home of Kahalu`u), written by Jerry Santos and Robert Beaumont involves the use of traditional Native Hawaiian folksong musicality with predominantly English lyrics. The slack-key accompaniment is a solemn, yearning one.

The few Native Hawaiian words in the song are easily understandable to a “local,” but not necessarily a Native Hawaiian audience.[36] “Me ke aloha ku`u home o Kahalu`u” simply means “with love of my home of Kahalu`u.” References are made to the “`o`opu” (the fresh water shrimp) and the gift of a song (which was prized above all other gifts).

This song, for me, marks the furthest reaches of a Native Hawaiian folksong. It is, in some sense, the adaptation of the fragile links that bind contemporary Native Hawaiians to traditional Native Hawaiian culture and experiences.

There is a longing for the old days as well as a yearning for the hopes and dreams of the past. There is a definite tone of sadness and melancholy – and a realization that both places and people have changed. The composers are trying to “go back home” to a place they know exists primarily in their memories.

The song ends with the lines:

To please accept me as you find me

Me ke aloha ku`u home of Kahalu`u.

Perhaps the singer is asking the `āina ( refers to the spirit of the land ) and his ancestors (ka po`e kahiko) to be accepting of his return despite the changes he has undergone – as he tries to do the same. This is a shared sentiment of contemporary Native Hawaiians as they look back at the changes that have transpired since Western contact.

Dreaming, The Dreamtime….core spirituality…my personal journey

We are all visitors to this time, this place. We’re just passing through.
Our purpose here is to observe, to learn, to grow, to love …
Then we go home

Australian Aboriginal proverb

During the eighties I had for many months of one year a particular disturbing dream. I could not remember much except how uncomfortable I always felt when I awoke. I could remember that there was a very dark looking person in the dream who was always getting my attention, all I could remember was a a vague image of a very black looking man and my running, jumping, flying and scattering to get away from him. I decided to learn lucid dreaming.

I investigated lucid dreaming in an attempt to discover the nature of this particular dreaming that left me so uncomfortable when I awoke. I decided to make some kinestethic cues that I taught myself and for many months I practiced repeating them in my mind as I was going to sleep. My intention was to stay awake inside the dream to discover what was really going on. Was this something of a subconscious shadow thing that was arising? Was there some kind of dark force after me? I did not know.

And then one night it happened. I was in the dream and I remembered my cues. I found myself awake inside the dream.

As it unfolds I am running around freaked out inside my house. it is daytime, and I know he is coming. I am looking frantically out the windows to see if I can see this dark person, when I realize he is coming around the house and will be at the back door any moment. I am totally scared, shaking, and my heart is beating frantically. I summon my courage to stay present and open the back door and there he is.

Standing before me is a completely black and almost totally naked man, with large white polka dots all over the front of him and along his face. He motions to me with his  hands and captures me with his gaze. There are a few seconds of complete chaos and frozen standing. I realize he is showing me how to mind link. He is showing me that the only way he can talk to me is thru melding our minds. and I start to get it. He speaks a totally different language. He reaches out to hold my head and face him eye to eye. I finally start to get pictures from his mind.

I start to understand he is from Australia, he is a dream time keeper, and he is here to take me on dreamtime travel. He shows me in mental pictures that contain whole paragraphs of information. I begin to catch on to this and find myself relaxing into what he is showing me. He is wanting to take me to some places where he lives and so I go.

We literally lift up and fly into the sky. At this point the dream had been taking place in the day time of my dream, however now we are traveling thru a night time sky. I see my house, my neighborhood, the city and then far far up into the starry dark nighttime.

We fly together across the ocean as I experience the vast openness of the star filled sky around us and the wide murmurs of the ocean below. Suddenly we approach a land space and we drop down onto the ground. We are with his people. I do not understand a word of their language as they speak with one another and I stand confused with what is happening. I am prompted by him to switch into the mind link mode so as to comprehend and I do.

This dreamtime traveling to Australia took many trips and to many places of sacred  meaning over the following months. I was no longer fearful as I became accustomed to the dreamtime traveler coming to get me. Along with him I was introduced to a wide circle of elder men, musical men playing the didgeridoo, and beings I would describe as ancient crystal beings. I was taken to many places that were cave like with pictures on the walls and instructed in all manner of stories about creation, the origins of dreaming, history of the planet and the purpose of dreaming today. The direction the majority of these souls were now taking was of leaving this planet after holding their knowledge for millions of years. Most of them would be gone from the planet. This particular group of elder aborigines took me thru many difficult and challenging ceremonies. I would wake up and recall the exact locations of these ceremonies and the secret knowledge I had learned. I was often made to strip naked and walk, sing, listen, and be challenged in these ceremonies. I had the feeling of being stripped to the very core as I went thru the unraveling of emotions and pain that had been stored in my body, my very DNA.. I would not ever be the same again.

I learned many things about this way of life and the future as they saw it.  I had been initiated into this dreaming and I was shown how this was an agreement way way way back inside my soul. I understood that there are individuals that carry dreamtime and actively spread this thru their lives. I knew I was one of these people as they showed me.

The dreamtime contains everything before it is born here on earth. All design and manner of things are thought of first in the dreamtime and then are brought in by us. I marveled at the actual place we went into the dreamtime. It was ethereal and to me magical in that anything could be conceived there. I experienced an understanding of the difference in illusion and creation. I watched as creation is made!

I went thru ritual ceremonies where I reawakened many kinds of knowledge- memories of this as they had been placed inside my soul millions of years prior to this lifetime. I watched myself peel thru layers of seeing, and feeling that were not quite aligned with this world view. I felt myself release over and over many notions about reality and traded those for the ideas of dreaming I was learning thru these experiences.

Simultaneously in my normal waking life I had some very difficult adjustments to make. I was becoming super psychic, super sensitive to everything around me. My conscious mind was a chaotic mess as I learned how to integrate the tremendously vast amounts of information that was flooding my awareness. Light and vibration became the way I was learning to see. Now everything around me was colored in these vivid light fields, every-thing was a mass of vibrating particles. I began to see the ancestors of people everywhere around me, and I could hear what people were thinking directly. I was seeing the past histories of their souls and the agreements they had invested themselves, their learning challenges. My healing massage work  took on complete new levels of understanding. I quickly learned how not to judge people. I was seeing much more deeply into everyone I encountered. these heightened experiences went on for several years as I learned how to understand all the new information. I learned to read the colors, and vibratory messages of everything around me in a completely new way.

Nature became alive in a way that simply said is astounding. As I learned to see how everything actually is consciousness, has life of it’s own, or rather IS A LIFE, including rocks. Walks in the forest became interactions with living beings who were trees, insects, plants, brooks, rocks and boulders. Everything was alive and speaking. The dialogue of nature was alive with all the voices of all the different life forms. this was totally astonishing. my mind was in a constant state of challenge as I realized how everything in physical existence is actually alive and talks to itself in all these different forms. The amount of information was staggering. I had to take many naps just to recover from simple walks in nature. I had to learn how not to become overwhelmed and exist with this additional information in a way that I could be normal. Thus I rarely spoke of these experiences. I rarely shared the amazing interactions I had with the trees, the plants, the land, the birds…… all of it had become alive and understandable in a completely new way to me.

So in my own way I simply attempted to be normal, yet I felt extraordinarily different. I was raising 3 little children and so I would simply spend time with them and point and walk thru every chance I could in the outdoors. With the clients I simply understood them and acted appropriately to this new level without ever mentioning a thing.

Over the years I have integrated this in a quiet way and respond from this place without drawing attention to what it is I am really seeing. Because to me everything in life is alive in a state of consciousness… light and vibration. Animals and plants do speak… they simply do it in their own way. Rocks are alive and hold much knowledge. The air is filled with many layers of reality and the sky is filled with tremendous variety of living forms…. galaxies, star systems, civilizations.

Towards the end of the year after I had many dream time travels with the aboriginal man, I was eating lunch with a coworker who happened to mention a new issue of National Geographic Magazine that had done the entire issue on Australia. She agreed to bring it in the next day for me to see. I had only told her I had some dreams about the subject. To my utter astonishment I recognized the many places, the surroundings and the art work on the walls. The pictures contained many secret sacred images to these people that they had taken me. I was gob smacked to learn that all these things were real. As up to this time I had not fully realized it. I sat and looked at the photos for long periods of time as I eye balled the images to make sure I was seeing places I had actually traveled to in the dreaming. I was amazed.

The journey of our soul is truly amazing once we break out of the small human being identifications and open to the larger identity of the spiritual being having a human experience. My learning to understand how my own self has a history of millions of years both on this earth and elsewhere has illuminated me in a way that refuses to accept the very limiting teachings that still are taught as THE TRUTH on this planet. Inside each of us is THE TRUTH. Not until we unravel ourselves do we realize the broader more astounding reality of life in us as us.

Secrets of Project Red Light

 

A.H. is a person who has gained significant information from inside the UFO extraterrestrial groups within our government, military and civilian companies. He has friends at the NSA, CIA, NASA, JPL, ONI, NRO, Area 51, the Air Force, Northrup, Boeing and others. He used to work at Boeing as a surface technician. He was introduced to four-star General Curtis Lemay and one day went to his house in Newport Beach, CA and spoke with him about this subject. Lemay confirmed the ETV crash at Roswell. AH’s NSA contact told him that Henry Kissinger, George Bush as well as Ronald Reagan and Mikhail Gorbachev were all aware of the ET subject. His CIA contact told him that the USAF had shot down some of these spacecraft. A friend of AH’s who worked at Boeing was part of crash recovery and personally saw and carried ET bodies. AH says that a group in the FBI discovered that radar testing was causing interference with some of the ETV’s and that this was what was causing so many crashes. He also says that there are underground bases testing and maintaining extraterrestrial technology in Utah (reachable only by air), Enzo California, Lancaster/Palmdale California, Edwards AFB in California, March AFB, Eglan AFB in Florida, London England and many other locations.

THRIVE What on Earth will it take?

An unconventional documentary that lifts the veil on what’s really going on in our world by following the money upstream – uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives.
Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future.

From the Odyssey Magazine: THRIVE is more than a documentary relevant to the times. It is more than a well-researched and alarming insight into who really controls how the world works.

It is a recipe and blueprint for how we can, each and every one of us, thrive in the way that the rest of nature does – easily, naturally and with expansive grace. For this last point alone, it is more than worth the time to see.

The most loving response to any accusation….

“The most loving response to any accusation is neither a need to deny anyone’s claim or attempting to correct the misperceptions of another.

 

It is the willingness to courageously stand tall in the presence of your own radiant perfection and when given a chance to respond, a question can be asked that only one’s deepest intelligence can answer: “Perhaps, I am only that to you?”

 

If you find yourself …being the one who accuses or judges another, you can ask yourself an equally transformative question: “Maybe it only seems this way to me?”

 

Such questions do not match insistence with something else defend.

 

Instead, it provides gentle waves of heart-centered clarity that allows the listener to recognize a deeper truth on their own.”

Quotes About Blame……….core spirituality… my personal journey

 

Blaming is such a insidious and pervasive habit which hides so many uncomfortable issues that we as human beings deny or refuse to process I want to bring more attention to this with sharing quotes on the subject from people around the world.

 

 

“The search for a scapegoat is the easiest of all hunting expeditions.”
― Dwight D. Eisenhower

 

 

“Responsibility is a unique concept… You may share it with others, but your portion is not diminished. You may delegate it, but it is still with you… If responsibility is rightfully yours, no evasion, or ignorance or passing the blame can shift the burden to someone else. Unless you can point your finger at the man who is responsible when something goes wrong, then you have never had anyone really responsible.”
― Hyman G. Rickover

 

“To find love is the great human undertaking…and it’s always complicated by our compulsions and unconscious patterns, to say nothing of issues of trust and control.”
― Michelle Huneven, Blame

 

 

“For most people, blaming others is a subconscious mechanism for avoiding accountability. In reality, the only thing in your way is YOU.”
― Steve Maraboli

 

“It’s too easy to criticize a man when he’s out of favor, and to make him shoulder the blame for everybody else’s mistakes.”
― Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace

 

 

“We cultivate love when we allow our most vulnerable and powerful selves to be deeply seen and known, and when we honor the spiritual connection that grows from that offering with trust, respect, kindness and affection.

Love is not something we give or get; it is something that we nurture and grow, a connection that can only be cultivated between two people when it exists within each one of them – we can only love others as much as we love ourselves.

Shame, blame, disrespect, betrayal, and the withholding of affection damage the roots from which love grows. Love can only survive these injuries if they are acknowledged, healed and rare.”
― Brené Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection: Let Go of Who You Think You’re Supposed to Be and Embrace Who You Are

 

 

“I’m sorry for blaming you for everything I just couldn’t do, and I’ve hurt myself by hurting you.”
― Christina Aguilera, Christina Aguilera: “Back to Basics”

 

“Was it you or I who stumbled first? It does not matter. The one of us who finds the strength to get up first, must help the other.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

 

“We habitually erect a barrier called blame that keeps us from communicating genuinely with others, and we fortify it with our concepts of who’s right and who’s wrong. We do that with the people who are closest to us and we do it with political systems, with all kinds of things that we don’t like about our associates or our society.

It is a very common, ancient, well-perfected device for trying to feel better. Blame others….Blaming is a way to protect your heart, trying to protect what is soft and open and tender in yourself. Rather than own that pain, we scramble to find some comfortable ground.”
― Pema Chödrön

 

“All violence is the result of people tricking themselves into believing that their pain derives from other people and that consequently those people deserve to be punished.”
― Marshall B. Rosenberg, Nonviolent Communication: A Language of

 

“To recognize that the treachery of one member of a house does not taint all born within it”
― Jacqueline Carey, Kushiel’s Chosen

 

“We may place blame, give reasons, and even have excuses; but in the end, it is an act of cowardice to not follow your dreams.”
― Steve Maraboli

 

“I was still searching for someone to blame for my suffering. I really wanted someone to transfer my hate to, so that I could stop hating myself.”
― Glenn Beck, The 7: Seven Wonders That Will Change Your Life

 

“We go to the past to lay the blame – since the past can’t argue. We go to our past selves to account for our present miseries.”
― Glen Duncan, Love Remains

 

“Are not half our lives spent in reproaches for foregone actions, of the true nature and consequences of which we were wholly ignorant at the time?”
― Herman Melville, Mardi and a Voyage Thither

 

“Blame has no purpose, and it is a lousy teacher.”
― John Yokoyama, When Fish Fly: Lessons for Creating a Vital and Energized Workplace from the World Famous Pike Place Fish Market

 

“Stop pointing fingers and placing blame on others. Your life can only change to the degree that you accept responsibility for it.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

 

“Blame is the creed of the dis-empowered.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

 

“One major way to avoid shifting blames unto other people is to accept and agree that the efforts that turn the loads of your self- improvement have to turn on your own pivot.”
― Israelmore Ayivor, The Great Hand Book of Quotes

 

“Only love that continues to flow in the face of anger, blame, and indifference can be called love. All else is simply a transaction.”
― Vironika Tugaleva, The Love Mindset

 

“To fundamentally solve a problem, we must understand it’s cause. In that I mean the chain of actions or circumstances that led to the problem–rather than only the immediate cause, which serves only to place blame.”
― Charlie Herrick

 

“I have found that as your wisdom and maturity develop, the number of other people you blame for your own circumstances shrinks.”
― Steve Maraboli

 

“Scared people don’t really mean what they say, they’re just looking for ways to rationalize everything so they have someone or something to blame. They need to have a reason for what’s happening because when they have that they can take comfort in knowing it’s out of their control.”
― Chris Dietzel, The Man Who Watched The World End

 

 

“The victim mindset produces a delusion of fault and blame that blinds you from the simple truth of cause and effect.”
― Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

― Max Brooks, World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War

 

“The weakest nations always blame others for their failures.”
― M.F. Moonzajer

 

“You can fail many times, but you’re not a failure until you begin to blame somebody else.”
― John Burroughs

 

In core spirituality I have found that the moment I begin to point my finger in any situation of blaming I begin to fall off my course. That I learn to understand the causes of things does not erase my own accountability in any situation, and thus I hold myself responsible for that which I see before me. The source of things has many places, many situations, many voices, and the place I hold in my life is one where I learn to take down the angry, hurt extended hand that points the finger at another for my own misery in life.

My family of origin needs the light of understanding in a way that I can barely express in words. That these people blame one another and hold their opinions as grounds for divide and derision with total conviction in being right is all very very sad.

 

When we learn to recognize how we participate in blame scenarios without understanding cause and effect in our lives we are held to the repeating of this sadness for years, and generations to follow and we teach this to our children. We do not “say” the word “blame”, it is the action of that.

 

Without the integrity of of pure objectivity and the steadfast attention to unconditional love we stand wide and far always seeking to hold the hand of the one we love not able to reach their grasp. And so it goes the spiritual being having a human experience in life. We cause each other to suffer in our darkness. This is a valuable lesson.

 

Is my family any different from the human one? I do not see that to be so. This is a human issue of far reaching consequence …. with trillions of people participating publicly and privately.

 

This is in the shadow of our humanity as a collective species. ( see previous post on The Shadow)

 

When those individuals that perpetrate this thru politics, media, religion, social compliance’s…. they are banking on one major lie, the greatest lie on this planet to fuel the chaos and confusion.

 

Fueling the distraction of possibility that exists in living the Truth that is our pure spiritual selves.

 

The lie that we are all powerless human beings, and that you are insignificant. And that we will comply and continue on in the next big shadow game of life here. What is that game called?

 

It is calledTHE BLAME GAME !

You Will Be a Catalyst for Change

The message she received specifically from a Being was to share her experience with others. “You will be a catalyst for change, for love.” This is ever-so-common among NDE’s.

Blame ……core spirituality……. my personal journey

Today I like to share some words from Matt Kahn about the nature of blaming, being blamed and what is happening to us whenever we find ourselves on either side of this dynamic. His thoughts are below and will illuminate the process of this toxic uncomfortable scenario. Thus it is towards the toxic forms of blame I address myself today.

Within my family of origin I have encountered years and years of family members blaming one another, including blaming me for any kind of thing imaginable. I started to pick up on this early in my life having to live with an adult alcoholic, blaming was an regular occurrence in my childhood. So much so that the pattern was repeated into my own generation of siblings and much of this is unconscious and habitual. Blaming one another has now moved into the next generation in a disturbingly toxic manner and despite my own efforts this continues and most likely will do so with even the next generations. I am horrified. Blaming has been such a major theme I have had to deeply look into the nature of this and find my way thru. As I have been blamed for many many things that are not even true. It is a way for family members to influence each other with their opinions and uncomfortable feelings without taking personal responsibility for those feelings. The levels and years of conflicts that this has perpetrated is gargantuan.

In the external world I find that blaming is widespread thru all news medias, rampant in all the military forces, governments, religious groups, social groups, ethnic groups. It is so pervasive a thing that people perpetrate on this planet that I find myself very uncomfortable with how widespread this has become. How common this is and how acceptable it has become as a tactic to gain influence. I find this utterly and completely toxic. We as human beings need to take a big breathe and look into how it is we allow this behavior in our lives, our dialogues, and our opinions. How we passively support and allow this behavior around us. We are hurting one another with this rampant toxic blaming! It is for this reason I speak up today.

First I want to share some material from Wikipedia that found to be the common understanding most people hold on blaming. This states that blame is the act of censuring, holding responsible, making negative statements about an individual or group that their actions are socially or morally irresponsible, the opposite of praise. We consciously and unconsciously make judgments about other people. Our basis for judging others may be partly ingrained, negative and rigid indicating some degree of grandiosity.

Blaming is also a way of devaluing others. The end result is that the blamer feels superior. Others are seen as less worthwhile making the blamer “perfect”. Off loading blame means putting the other person down by emphasizing his or her flaws.

There are many forms of blame including self blame.

Behavioral self blame… undeserved blame based on actions. Victims who experience behavioral self blame feel that they should have done something differently, and therefore feel at fault.

Characterological self blame…. undeserved blame based on character. Victims feel there is something inherently wrong with them.

Victim blaming is holding victims of crime, and accident, or any type of abusive maltreatment to entirely or partially responsible for the incident that has occurred.

Blame shifting…. blaming others can lead to a “kick the dog effect” where individuals in a hierarchy blame their immediate subordinate, and this propagates down the hierarchy until the lowest rung ( the dog”).

Propaganda blame… is closely associated with the labeling theory, in that intentional actors act out to continuously blame an individual for non existent psychological traits, and for nonexistent variables, the actors aim to induce irrational guilt at an unconscious level. It is a propaganda tactic to use repetitive blaming behaviors, innuendos, and hyperbole in order to assign negative status to normal humans. When innocent people are blamed fraudulently for nonexistent psychological states and nonexistent behaviors, and there is no qualifying deviance for the blaming behaviors, the intention is to create a a negative valuation of innocent humans to induce fear, by using fear mongering. Blaming in the form of demonization has been used by governments for centuries to influence public perceptions of various other governments to induce feelings of nationalism. ( happens constantly towards the gay community!)

Blame can be utilized to objectify people, groups, and nations, which can typically negatively influence the intended subjects of propaganda, comprising their objectivity. Blame is used as a social control technique.

On another blog source called Life Coach On The Go! http://lifecoachonthego.com/blaming-is-toxic/

I found the following valuable information.

Blaming is toxic; Pick up the mirror and not the magnifying glass! “ …pointing the finger is also a great way to avoid our own discomfort around a situation. It takes us out of the uncomfortable present and into our minds- analyzing and judging.”

…”and sometimes the discomfort we’re trying to avoid is our own role in the situation.”

…” unresolved feelings (whether reasonable or not) can eat away at us under the surface. And blaming others without looking at our role not only means the situation could happen again but it also lacks compassion for the “blamee” – who may end up feeling even worse.

 

So, when we find ourselves ‘blaming’, a wonderful concept is to..

“Pick up the Mirror, not the Magnifying Glass.” Ask:

1. What am I feeling underneath the discomfort? Then acknowledge that feeling without judgment, let it be. “Oh, there it is!”

2. How did I contribute to this situation? It may be a tiny contribution which had little or no impact on the outcome, or it may have avoided the situation altogether. Either way, be honest with yourself and get it out in the open air!

3. Where am I being too hard on myself? Perhaps you’re blaming others because you secretly feel to blame and it feels awful?

4. Where am I being too hard on others? Remember that blaming others not only leaves others feeling awful but it can damage our relationships too. Is this something that could have happened to anyone given the right circumstances?

5. What is the difficult truth I have been avoiding? Where am I resisting reality? These are the things you can’t change but may leave you feeling uncomfortable (or worse).

6. If I were to relive the situation and take FULL responsibility for my actions and feelings, what would I do differently? And this is where the learning comes in…

The idea here is NOT to turn the blame on ourselves, it’s simply that the only thing we have control over is our own thoughts and actions. Once something has happened, the only thing we can change is how we feel about it going forwards. And by taking an honest look at our role in the situation it helps us learn and take responsibility so that next time, we can respond differently.

 

Which gives pause to reflect on the words below;

“When someone blames another, they are pointing their finger toward the one who they’ve given their power. This means whenever you find yourself on the receiving end of someone else’s blame, accusations, projections, or judgments, it doesn’t have to be a moment of conflict or turmoil, unless you attempt to refute the limiting ideas they suggest about you. As you remember that you don’t owe anyone an explanation, no matter how often they demand one, you may begin to see how those who you feel dis-empowered by have already handed their power over to you. Whether they know it or not, the reason they are fighting with you is to reclaim the power they are unaware they’ve subconsciously given away.”

“Those who disapprove of others do so to maintain a false sense of superiority. They subconsciously believe that rejecting others puts them in a position of power, which helps them avoid the threat of rejection they are most afraid to encounter, whether they know it or not. While their words may suggest how inept, imperfect, and powerless you are, their actions suggest otherwise. Imagine, if you weren’t powerful and important to them, they wouldn’t waste their time and energy trying to convince you of something that demands your approval, just so they can feel justified in their position. Consider these words the next time someone lashes out at you. Instead of asking: “Why have I attracted this?” or assuming their behavior is a mirror of your consciousness, simply relax in the presence of any blame, projection, judgment, or accusation. By slowing your breath and relaxing your body, you allow the power they unknowingly gave you to be returned through the grace of disappointment.”

“Whether you choose to engage in conflict by giving away your power to the one who unknowingly has given their power to you, consciousness is often inspired to blossom in the aftermath of confrontation. It is here where the brightness of your true self begins to shine through, in the absence of an ego that only frustration, boredom, loneliness, and disappointment are sure to unravel.”

Spiritual beings having a human experience

In core spirituality I find that the diverse experiences of toxic shame are valuable lessons we pass thru in an effort by our own soul to learn to understand differences and conflicts, the nature and idea of personal power, the effects of our actions in this world with others, and ultimately to choose to raise our own vibration of awareness and presence into love.

The most natural place of core spiritual being is love.

When passing thru all that is not that…. not love, we become more capable of understanding the nature of those suffering who place blame out in the world in an effort to deal with their own immediate sense of discomfort with their own feelings.

I find this remarkably healing and well worth the time and energy it takes to clean up our own act.

The full circle moments happen when we come home to our own blaming behaviors and confront our own uncomfortable feelings and in this process we learn to drop them and choose much more harmonious scenarios with which we invest our energy.

The Conviction of the Heart, Humility and Arrogance………core spirituality…my personal journey

 

My thoughts today are within the core conviction of the heart and ultimately what this points to is a journey thru our human expressions of pride, arrogance and humility ….and love. That we stumble upon these qualities along the way of our deeply held opinions and beliefs we uncover both…. our innate humility and anything which is not that.

 

This is our growing field.

 

Life is our creative opportunity and that we find in ourselves these qualities arises out of the dualistic nature of earth existence. For in every whole there are two polar opposites and in this case on one end we have arrogance and pride and the other is humility. They are linked one to the other and therefore one may be triggered to discover this in self, or another. Each experience has a valuable benefit to it for learning either side of the equation! The human heart is often imperfect in it’s evaluations. Thus these things bring to us meaningful experiences thru which are able to process what our hearts long for most deeply within!

 

Frequently I watch the conversations in this world where this arises. God loving people from all walks of life with their intentions for good expressing their beliefs with anything but humility. Positions of righteousness in the name of god and for the benefit of all. And of course there are very humble expressions of love and understanding as well. Both arise as we journey thru our lives. I find this very interesting.

 

When in our efforts to be good and right we lose sight of humility is a stumbling place for many of us. When in our passions we become arrogant and arouse situations of conflict is a sign that perhaps we could go further in our understandings.

 

Humans can get carried away with our ideas.

 

I find myself looking at this more deeply. I am certain that even as we are stumbling along in arrogance the deeper message of our heart is one of humility, love and inclusion. The heart center of who we are, in my experience, is at some point quite universal. There is an equanimity and love for all that is in the core of what our heart center is all about. We do not always realize this as we learn to love in the immediate moment, however we are all capable of discovering this at some point further along.

 

Especially after recognizing the pain of what an arrogant voice can create! There is a natural aversion, and deflection to arrogance and it is because it seems to be so self centered, self concerned, and short sighted when differences arise. This aversion is a way to steer clear of such things in an effort not to perpetrate it further, not to add on anymore. That distance arises between those in arrogance is nature’s way to allow the situation to deflate and offers us the opportunity to reflect. I have learned to respect the arising of distance in relationships whenever this occurs. Distance can be time to process. And this is valuable with all matters of the heart.

 

An arrogant heart is one that has yet to learn something. Perhaps this is why it can be so persistent and obsessive. A “spiritualized” ego filled with arrogance can even be more dangerous. There are plenty of people being murdered as a result of this all over the world now. Many political spins, and plenty of rifts being energized in societies all over this planet.

 

There is something in this for us all to look at as we discern our own heart’s voice in relationships.

 

 

We can learn how a lack of humility actually causes tremendous dis-harmonies to any and all relationships. And following this kind of feeling in ourselves eventually leads us deeper into the core of our heart centers where there is a wider voice of love seeking to come out of us.

 

When arrogance persists it draws experiences which ultimately bring us to confrontations of our motivations, our hidden agendas, our lack of insight, or the absence of understanding another point of view. The cycle only comes to rest once we find humility.

 

The magnificent capacity of transformation that is possible thru the arrival of humility in one’s self is astounding.

 

For humility has the power to take the most uncomfortable of human traits and erase them.

 

Humility has the capacity to restore that which has been broken, to free that which is in bondage, to raise up that which has been lowly.

It is no accident that when we find ourselves in arrogance or pride ultimately humility arrives. They are part of the same design of a love that is far greater than either.

 

Humility has such tremendous healing force that a person’s life can be totally redirected, totally restored and completely uplifted.

 

Humility when genuine feels good and honors life in all the different expressions.

 

Humility understands the nature of pride and arrogance and is forgiving.

 

Humility is inclusive and steps aside when exclusive expressions roar their heads.

 

Humility informs us when to step away, when to step up and when not to step at all.

 

In the convictions of the heart where humility has taken root there is transcendent understanding and belonging. This humbleness is serving and does not exact that you comply with it.

 

Humbleness knows how to wait and to wait and to wait as the details of pride and arrogance work them selves out.

 

Humbleness is warm and gentle and powerful beyond comprehension, while pride and arrogance struggle with cold feelings of separation and overpowering domination and limitation.

 

Regardless of what role one finds themselves in this discussion, the spiritual being having a human experience is perfect in it’s unfolding circumstances. There is some thing to learn in all of it. In fact my reincarnation experiences have shown me how entire lifetimes can be lived in one state and then the other to bring about a complete understanding of this in the human species . Ultimately the spiritual being within us, or the soul, seeks to feel the totality arising into equanimity and universal love. This is the natural place of the soul, the spirit having a human experience. Frequently an incarnate will leave an entire life just so that they can once again have this wonderful feeling. Many calls are heard repeatedly by those in the higher realms just for this one feeling of spiritual love and universal forgiveness. When we respond to this need within ourselves thru our decision making capability we are bringing to one another the answer to many generations of prayer and longing. Whenever I am called to humility I take heed. Whenever I awaken to my own pride and arrogance and then choose humility I always, always…… feel much better.

Conviction of the Heart …….. Kenny Loggins

conviction of the heart……………… what will it take in me to have, live, and abide in this the most precious gift in life…. the direction my heart is guiding me…………

The voice in the head and learning to be present within!

We all have this voice inside us and we can discern the differences in what the voice is actually needing in us to respond. When our ego is running the show of our lives we can become miserable, stuck in conflicts, and perpetrate negativities all around us. When there is a genuine complaint that we need to address, we can do this. How we choose to address our own inner voices is part of the curriculum of our lives. We can choose at any time to evolve towards a larger understanding or we can choose not to evolve. When we realize it is the choice we make inside our selves, and not what others are doing we take care of our side of the equation. Evolvement or Ignorance ! Resist and it will persist! I call this EGO MANAGEMENT 101….. now lets all get to class……..

Reincarnation……core spirituality… my personal journey

 

My awareness of reincarnation is something that arose out of my own self healing and my experiences in foreign countries that I had never visited and my hypnotherapy sessions with clients seeking to heal themselves of deeply ingrained emotional issues. I am not sure exactly how it works however I am fascinated by what I have learned thus far.

 

My understanding of this is that the soul self seeks experiences in different forms of creation and steps down a portion of itself and anchors into a life for the possibility of what this may bring to itself. This is not limited to this planet or this species. I have encountered lifetimes on planets far from this galaxy and in many different time periods, sometimes thousands and thousands of our earth years apart. The journey of the source as us is unlimited in this way and is capable of tremendous variety of experiences depending on the intention set by that soul. In my own case I have gone thousands and thousands of years back into my own past lives, and this I have been shown in other peoples soul journeys as well. I find this all fascinating.

 

One of my first questioning of the possibility of this came as a result of my living in Europe as a young 18 yr. old studying french in Belgium. For one thing I found myself realizing that how my mind worked internally in terms of sentence structure fit more the model of the french language. As I learned grammar I began to understand how it was that as a child I would line up my own thoughts grammatically just like you do in the french language. Thus learning this language was a real joy, very comfortable and remarkably fast for me. While in school I had a long weekend and decided to visit Paris and while there I had some strange things happen. There were certain areas of the city where as I was walking for the first time in this life I was internally seeing down the road images of the buildings before I approached them. I noticed this and wondered how I could have already in my mind these streets, and the more I watched inside my mind the more I realized that what I was seeing there were of a different time period. This struck me as unusual and I did not comprehend how this would be possible. This along with learning french caused me to wonder about the possibility of past lifetimes.

 

In my self healing journey I did much emotional release work regarding my own childhood, yet I still found myself deeply unable to move out of certain patterns inside me. These patterns had words connected to them that were highly charged. For example…. just saying the church had a heavy feeling to it and I noticed anything that related to the church held a certain deeply conviction and emotional response far beyond anything I could have from being a little catholic boy. I was very uncomfortable. I had to investigate why I was so deeply charged around anything to do with organized religions. I had no idea at the time that this would lead me into a discovery of my own past lives… nor that they were very invested in religious life, however later I found this to be the case.

 

When I was 16 yrs. old I was directly involved in a large accidental fire that burned down my place of employment. For years afterwords anytime I would find myself saying words that involved burning down my heart would suddenly race, I would become very agitated. Beyond the normal outcome of my experience. I found that once I had activated this in myself it would take me days to shake it off. Why was this ? Later in hypnotherapy training classes while studying techniques the subject came up about highly charged words that do not match the memory of those words or feelings that do not fit into any kind of sense. I knew I had a strange emotional charge around the idea of burning down something and had no idea where this came from, as I would find myself quite upset without any explanation. We investigated this feeling and the words and this lead to a very traumatic past life memory. I had no conscious idea of this at the time, and the feelings from the past life while the same were far greater and disturbing. I had only touched the surface of them until I uncovered this past life memory inside me.

Like wise in private practice working with clients seeking to heal themselves of deep emotional patterns of behavior that were linked to addictions, and dis-eases we uncovered past lives out of following the strands of emotional themes in these scenarios. We followed them into and beyond the conscious mind, deep into the subconscious mind and further into the super conscious mind where the soul self is intact with all its own memory of experiences in any life time . The best word to describe how this occurred would be unraveling. The unraveling of the emotional patterns would lead us into very highly charged situations still intact within the subconscious of the client. These emotional patterns and themes were being lived out by the client in real time in the now, even though they originated in other times, as different people. The depth of genuine feelings these clients experienced was unquestionably real to me. And the transformations in their countenance was amazing once they began to understand the bigger picture of their issue and the purpose for which this was in their lives. I actually witnessed complete remissions of diseases medically documented as a result of coming to terms with and making changes that resulted in these past life experiences.

 

In my own past life memory of the fire burning incident I went to a time in middle Europe where I looked down at myself and was shocked to see I was smaller and wearing a dress. Standing next to a thatched roof home on the edge of forest. My interest in this life was the healing property of plants, and I had learned to make medicines from my plant gathering in this forest. In the specific memory I relived the feelings of terror and fear as I heard the horses and their riders approaching and in one fast moment set fire to the thatch upon my roof, horses flying, riders grabbed me up and took me away. I found myself being abducted and taken to a town square where with a line up of other women we were burned alive, and it was priests that were behind the incident, the catholic church. This was a horrific trauma and death memory to relive. It was all very very clear as I could even smell the burning. I could feel the terror of the horses around the fires, and I recalled being totally overpowered as I was swept away beyond my will. I decided to release the terror of this situation and bring forward the awareness of plant medicine as a result of this session. I have never had the same response again. And I realized that even though those men thought they could actually kill what they called witches, it was not possible in totality. I was shown the thousands of reincarnated people who came into this lifetime bringing their knowledge in ordinary ways, thus the real knowledge was not truly lost. Simply brought forward in another time. This time today! I was shown the many moms and dads today who have a quiet interest in natural healing, herbs, plant medicine, and such. They have this innately from their own previous life times where the knowledge had been gathered, the interest previously developed. And simply bring this to this lifetime! I found this fascinating.

 

In my experience of Paris I recalled a lifetime where I was an architect that spent an entire lifetime building a certain part of a particular church, in that experience I actually looked at the scrolls of documents to find the specifics about this lifetime so that I could afterwords verify. I did so by going to the library to see what I could find about this particular church, and I did indeed verify the information I found in that session. To my complete astonishment my memory of this was accurate as I was able to substantiate the details of the past life session!

These experiences and many others have widened my perspective in deep and meaningful ways. I have had to let go of certain belief systems that I was raised and replace them. These experience brought many more questions to me that later I had to investigate. My sense of history, truth, and belief all began a fascinating transformation. These experiences are my own direct feeling, sensory based ones. Not something I have only read in a book. They were real to me in such degree that my reality has shifted. My sense of accountability developed from a core spiritual being having a human experience. Instead of a human being having a spiritual experience. My entire base of identification in this life shifted. There is much much more to what can be learned from the perspective of the soul incarnate and all the experiences we have as we investigate reality and the themes of reincarnation. And that will be for future writings…..

Accountability…..core spirituality…my personal journey

The idea of accountability takes on a refreshingly complete new meaning in core spirituality.

When I had my soul review, and my life reviews of past lives,when I have visited the akashic hall of records, when I have engaged in deep hypnosis sessions with clients the idea of accountability is fully realized. That the incarnate self is made of the very substance of Source, and because of this calls to itself every expression of its own creation.

While we are incarnate we have the possibility to explore within the framework of our intended journey thru life various ideas and notions.

While here we can “act as if” what we think…… has no consequence. Many people live life in this way. The human expression of the soul self has freedom. However this freedom does not come without accountability.

The human self is a stepped down version in frequency of our soul self, our soul self is a stepped down version of out light being self and the light being self is a temporary division ( but not really) of the source in totality. Because of the nature of the substance of this in us as us we are all spiritually accountable.

Source is innately responsible to itself as life is set up and every action returns to its source. This occurs in each of us. This is the universal expression of total and complete balance that is in place thru out all creation, thru all worlds. This balance is referred to in many religions in different ways. As you reap, so do you sow…. the metaphor in Christianity, the law of karma as expressed in many eastern religions, and even in the common expression today what goes around comes around. This returning to the source occurs, as I was shown, in every idea, thought, and action thru out creation.

So regardless of your opinions, beliefs, or viewpoints about what you think say or do while here in a physical body, at some point source within self will experience the total awareness of the effects of these things.

This includes your opinions and how you used them to sway, influence, or make a stand in your life. ( see previous posts on opinion) The spiritual amnesia …….that you are made of source…. does not prevent you from being accountable in life.

At some point each incarnate re-learns how this works. For example our life and or soul reviews. This being the moment of reflection where we engage our total attention into our own actions in the world and the effects these have. Along with our motivations and drives, our understandings and lack of understandings, our feelings and the feelings of others. Our words to one another, and the power this has had in our lives.

I experienced all these things personally in my soul review at the age of 33. and inside the soul review were the life reviews of my previous incarnations all together shown to me from the stand point of my soul choices and themes for a series of incarnations.

In this place there was not a big god-judge sitting on a thrown handing down the proclamations of my existences. Rather, as I recall, I floated up and out of myself and as this happened I slipped more and more out of the density of my incarnate personality until I was more more clearly centered in my own attention, I felt myself being with a vivid, clear, capacity to see hear and feel far exceeding my incarnate self. With less of the density of my personality and more of my heightened senses I began the overview and the review of the various details of this lifetime, the people in this lifetime with me, and then the other lives we shared and those incidents which connect us all together. With a sober, still, unbiased look into and re experience of the life events I was able to understand how source within me, as me, is accountable.

I know many people prefer to have the amnesia of accountability in their efforts to pursue the agendas they are developing in daily life. And many people need to have some elements of amnesia so they can reveal the unconscious activity of their notions about life while in the physical body with the idea to bring a learning to their human experiences. The fact that one does not remember how the universe is run does not shift the equation of accountability. We are still accountable as spiritual beings having a human experience.

This was apparent to me in the many hypnosis sessions I facilitated as a therapist. Clients struggling with issues with their regular therapists would come to my office for hypnotherapy sessions when they were stuck, not getting results from traditional therapies, or suffering so deeply and unable to have a break thru. In the deeper states of the subconscious mind, in the still deeper states of the soul these clients would unveil the larger themes in their difficult scenarios. I watched as the verity of experiences were revealed and the core understanding of how difficult situations were developed by these people in their earlier development or in previous life times. The arising of emotions and the validity of feeling was unquestionable. The shift in consciousness from remembering from the perspective of the soul was trans-formative.

There is the capacity to remember and review series of events in the soul history because by nature we are inherently accountable and the system is in place spiritualy for us to complete any sense of incompleteness or tendency we have in ourselves.

I witnessed this as clients would recall their relationships with the same people who were in their lives today and the previous actions with the same people in their previous lifetimes. It is not like in the movies where because you die you get out of whatever mess you created, in fact it is the opposite. It is not like religions teach you that you are being punished for your actions, it is actually the opposite.

You are continuing your experience in a full revolution until you are complete.

This was evident in many many hypnotherapy sessions where the individual did not even have one idea or conscious belief in any of this. And in fact this occurred regardless of the present day beliefs of the individual. The genuine nature of the soul far out weights the beliefs systems we hold while we are in our physical bodies. This was very surprising to the clients as they realized their previous lives, and their actions in them were the set ups for this lifetime. Dramatic shifts in consciousness arise from this. When a client was refreshed with the greater understanding of the core spirituality in any situation, or the soul level of awareness the immediate shift in this lifetime would begin thru an amazing trans-formative reality check into how life is actually unfolding. I found this astonishing….. over and over and over.

Accountability is the law of balance that assures the full return to source, that all things that come to pass. Love is one aspect of this revolution inside us as we arise from love we also return to love thru this journey in source. It is an amazing amazing creative act.

Relaxing into our dilemmas, our story lines, our misunderstandings will assist the deeper knowledge we all contain within us about how this works. Distraction and super activity is a way to avoid this inside us.

The Power of Opinion… Part 2…..core spirituality….. my personal journey

In light of examining further The Power of Opinion ( see previous post ) I looked into the various definitions of the word as we have come to understand. I felt I needed to look into this because of the huge investments we give to opinions…. whether they be our own or belong to someone else. The power that we invest in opinion has such a driving force in how we shape our human experiences and develop relationships in the world. The values given to opinions vary widely and circulate thru our interrelatedness almost causally in my view and differ widely. We also make incredible stands based on opinions, fueling our own ideas of how we see things and our desire to sway others in a feeling of togetherness. Human beings develop conclusions very quickly based on their opinions regardless of the degrees of facts in those opinions. We do this over and over in a wide spectrum of factual and or non factual combinations. Confusion arises when it comes to discussing opinions and I want to investigate how this comes to pass so often. Thus I researched this word and found the following definitions.

Opinion

Opinion, sentiment, view are terms for one’s conclusion about something.

An opinion is a belief or judgment that falls short of absolute conviction, certainty, or positive knowledge; it is a conclusion that certain facts, ideas, etc., are probably true or likely to prove so: political opinions; an opinion about art; In my opinion this is true.

Sentiment (usually pl. ) refers to a rather fixed conviction, usually based on feeling or emotion rather than reasoning: These are my sentiments.

View is an estimate of something, an intellectual judgment, a critical survey based on a mental examination, particularly of a public matter: views on governmental planning.

Another source defines it this way :

The attitude you have towards something. Your thoughts on the subject.

And still another dictionary defines opinion in these ways :

A judgment about a person or thing. A beliefbased on experience and on seeing certain facts that falls short of positive knowledge. A statement by an expert after careful study.

Synonyms of opinion….

Opinion, Belief, Conviction meaning something that one thinks is true.

Opinion suggests a judgment that may not be shared by all.

Beliefsuggests a view that one has come to accept fully in one’s own mind.

Conviction suggests a firm unchangeable belief.

I looked on Ask.com and found the following answers.

What is the Definition of Fact and Opinon?

The term fact refers to knowledge or information based on real occurances. It can also be defined as something demonstrated to exist or known to have existed. An opinionon the other hand is a belief stronger than an impression and less strong than positive knowledge.

In my observations and writing yesterday on this subject my assertions were based on the differences in opinions and facts. That we give value to them with equal emotional investment without discerning the difference inherent in the language. What these words refer us to and the nature of the source inside us as our deeper drives and motivations ie. those issues that are driving the opinions.

I find myself unnerved when i encounter opinion shared as if it was fact. I always get a red flag alert message in my gut. This happens even when an opinon is based in part on fact. Because basing my own ideas on fractions of a whole picture simply feel incomplete. I get a gut level message inside my body that i have learned to pay attention. I also find myself getting a red flag alert in my gut whenever i encounter widely rightous opinions. The exact same thing applies.

I have found myself expressing in these ways many times. And I have come to learn to address my own sense of investment emotionally and attidudinally, mentally. Having had to make many many self corrections once i realized that i was projecting my opinion and not the facts strongly in an effort to convince others of my opinions.

However in reflection i found that in attempting to convince others of my standing i was really only trying to convince myself. There was a deeper feeling of incomplete factual authority in my own opinion! I have learned to investigate this much more completely.

To discern whether my opinion is arising out of a belief, a conviction, or a sentiment. This is crucial to understand about my own actions in the world. Or is it based whole heartedly in fact?

I notice that people will resist and argue, avoid and deflect certain opinions. I believe that this occurs out of the same gut feelings i shared earlier. There is an intuitive feeling/ message that something is not complete here. When this happens people break apart into their respective opinion groups and then separately reinforce their ideas with one another. When ever the different opinions encounter one another the clash begins all over. The cycle is perpetrated with endless momentums. This is very frustrating and leads to the next levels of opinions.

Restoration of harmony will arise thru differences in opinions once all the facts are put on the table. Once all involved have looked at and understood the entire picture. At this point the entire dynamic shifts into a mutual understanding that serves everyone who is participating.

Without all the factual information surrounding an issued of highly charged opinions the cycle is left incomplete and the clue in the situation to this happening is that the whole dynamic begins again. When we find ourselves repeating scenarios where we hold strong opinons that are not inherently complete in fact we repeatedly go thru this again and again again. It is a viscious circle. And we intuitively sense this in ourselves. I find this fascinating.

We either retreat into no opinion, go back to our “opinion group” or we step out and investigate, learn, and embrace the wider picture along with the facts, the real facts until we find a completeness. We intuitively also feel when we arrive at this new level of opinion. And a mutual understanding then arises to replace all the conflict. I find this amazing.

I have experienced this many many times myself.

I love investigating the nature of our opinions as this serves my desire to uncover truth in my life. Not a piece of truth, not a partial truth, a whole truth! The overall picture needing to be understood!

My experiences as a hynotherapist in private sessions with people where we uncover the subconscious workings behind our strong opinions is a truly fascinating subject. Whenever i have gone into the subconscious minds with people uncovering the underlying sources of strongly held opinions there is always another story inside the person. Much much more is driving the person that is completely unknown to the conscious mind. Whenever i have uncovered the actual issues in the subconscious mind the opinions always shift. Usually whenever there is a strong opinion there are deeper facts awaiting to be brought to light. However the subconscious and opinion is a topic for another day, another discussion all together!

Core of spirit within me for your discernment

A Wise physician said……………………………………….

In light of my previous post today I would like to post this idea and increase the dose!

The Power of Opinion………..core spirituality…my personal journey

( the horrendous dis-ease of your opinion)

Everyone has an opinion. In core spirituality I learn not to be swayed by those opinions that do not serve my own internal sense of pure spiritual understanding and arise from my own DIRECT experience, though the tide of opinion may be strong and overwhelming.

In families opinions gain momentum around all the various issues that arise and still, I choose not to be swayed. I find that when I allow myself to be swayed by the opinion of those I love without my own personal experience around it I can be pulled off track from the very voice of my own soul. Frequently I am challenged in this way this lifetime. I have learned to pay much more attention to what is transpiring around me.

When it comes to opinions in this world there is the possibility of grave misunderstanding and hardship amongst people. When opinions are taken as if they are complete fact, and actually there is minimal fact.

For example in my own family of origin we have issues like this where family members holding opinions act as if these ideas are the very facts of life itself. And they fight and distance themselves and perpetrate drama drama drama totally manufactured out of their own agendas by forcing conversations of opinion with one another in an effort to gain power to their specific points of view….their opinions! And then they all group themselves into their little opinion groups!

Without taking time to learn all the facts.

This has caused the complete isolation of one member. I find this to be completely short sighted. The general opinion that is perpetrated carries a feeling of judgment and disgrace to that one person. And is actually shared by everyone involved in the opinion making scenario. It is a difficult situation and causes pain to everyone. The opinions expressed actually compound the actual issue and overlay the entire situation. Making the dynamic more complicated and harder to understand. All as a result of opinions family have made and then wallow inside.

The very fact that one member of a family is isolated in the minds of most other family members is an indicator that something is amiss. Even as this person may be isolating themselves, the majority all align in this and perpetrate the overall opinion without the background of clear factual investigations. And all of this is enhanced based on opinions, not all the facts. This is evident in that the issue stays unresolved and misunderstood.

When we charge up opinions without doing our homework and investing the time and honesty to clearly understand people’s highly charged opinions we can delude ourselves into thinking we have all the answers and then posture ourselves in places of being right. This right- ness has an undercurrent of self deception in it. This deception has a feeling of off–ness to me. I will not be swayed by opinions here. I am especially alerted when opinions carry a feeling of being right and making “people” wrong. The attitude of righteousness in this feels toxic. There is certainly more investigation beyond mere opinion needed here. I am not swayed by opinion of this variety.

The interesting dynamic behind the opinion.

The fascinating underside of opinion is always revealing to me. Much is revealed by investigating the motivating forces behind how and why we form the opinions we have. Often these motivators are more indicative of the true-ness in a situation than the opinions themselves. In my own family dynamic there are a myriad of issues hiding behind the highly charged opinions which serve to isolate one single person… one member of an entire family.

This is evident in that when there is conflict, and misunderstanding. When the motivators are loving understanding, or the need for honest investigating, or the revealing of difficult emotions the opinions will not harbor such ongoing pain and hardship for everyone without a resolve …a stalemate. I find looking at motivation behind opinions to be substantially more purposeful than the opinions alone.

As a spiritual being having a human experience I spiritually intend myself to resolve these matters of opinion in a loving manner. Love being the most significant expression of a spiritual being. Not the hurt that is generated by painful opinions and motivate much of what unfolds here.

Our human history is filled with amazing stories of wide spread opinions that heralded all kinds of inhumanity and disgrace amongst whole peoples. The Nazi occupation of Europe had tremendous effects on a whole group of people that were isolated and hurt. The tides of general opinion swept thru an entire nation and brought about horrific outcomes. That we do this in our own little worlds, on a much smaller scale is how all this is seeded inside us. This is where wars start, in each of our lives. The perpetration of opinion without clear and objective understanding leads to difficult outcomes.

There is a reason for the insanity of why and how we form opinions that do not hold all the facts.

The soul incarnate experiences these things in an effort to improve and increase personal awareness of itself in the human experience. To bring the qualities of light and love into our humanity!  We have many opportunities to investigate how we feel as opinions swirl thru our lives. This investigation generally becomes more refined as we learn that we are generating painful outcomes to ourselves. And thus we cease the minimal efforts and learn to invest more completely in loving understanding of our issues.

People are paid to express their opinions in public media, in politics, in education, in churches, and now thru social medias. Why? There is the possibility to sway the uninformed, to direct outcomes and to run agendas. Opinions are displayed now on a global basis as a way of spinning the actual facts of stories. Opinions now take up much of the news media in America…. with talking heads spreading their particular slants on the story lines. The power of opinion in our current times is invested heavily by corporations, medias, and politicians and religious leaders.

This is also true in our smaller worlds of work spaces, families, and other social circles. There has become an accepted level of interaction of opinions being shared now all over our lives and much of it is only that …. an opinion, and not fact!

What about integrity?

I find myself in a state of feeling like I am out of integrity anytime I allow myself to be swayed by opinions without a thorough investigation of facts. This leads me to call attention to the possibility of a lack of integrity in all this. I find this leaves me feeling disharmonious. I find this happens often in our rapid fire, information filled world. Opinions expressed as if they are facts are common place. People text, email, and share information so fast these days with little reflection to basis. I wonder if our own minds are somehow getting so used to this… that we hardly take into account the differences between opinions and actual facts.

As a spiritual being having a human experience that we bring love to our opinions about one another, that we bring love to our misunderstandings, that we withhold judgment until we satisfy our understanding of a situation is observable in how any opinion based conflict is resolved. For where this  is applied, patiently, and with longstanding…. a resolve will arise that addresses every one and every aspect of the situation.

Where unconscious agendas, ( see previous writing on the shadow), unresolved personal pain, or righteous positions of standing exist the outcome of opinion will surely grow for years and years. Stalemates! This is a clear indicator of participating in unsubstantiated opinion making. Our human history is filled with examples of this tragedy.

Core of spirituality for your discernment
