   Hi Kodemaster,
I thought about what you said today
and,
A customer named Faith came to our store shortly after. She's not a new customer, but she hasn't been in for a while.
Interesting timing.


She needed help getting our waffles back on the menu. =P

Hah.

Well, she is actually a pretty incredible woman. She has one arm, no one but me noticed the first time she came to our store. Here is her youtube channel:

Maybe it's not what she needs but what she has to offer-

Cheers 

[am]

Thank you Carla for your heavenly reply. =P Just a little tongue-in-cheek. I really am grateful for your reply. You made a point, and I think it's 100% correct. This was a contact experience.

-I really did feel the energy, the sun, and the way it played in my minds eye was more real than real... Something we find ourselves saying when describing our astral or, "in-between" experience's.

Now I will have to look back through this journal and really reflect. But before I do I will try to piece things together- and share some of the beautiful blessings that have taken place.

I have to add, today was such an amazing day. I really can't explain all the joy found in the alignments I was able to share with others. Such a beautiful day. I'm finally coming home to relax and unwind... But I will share nonetheless.

Two days ago I felt a presence gazing at the sunset. That night I prayed to God something like this,

"Dear God, I accept whatever form you wish to take."

And I realize I was saying this because I was ready to take a break from the Urantia Book. Ready to take a break from what other books people are recommending I read at this time. Gazing out at the clouds that night, in their glorious formations, I saw a dragon rolling into itself. Everything was coming to life. And I had the thought that I want to discover rather than be told. While I acknowledge, and am grateful for those amazing forms and ideas that have come before- I found my self wanting a break from what others have to say about God- even great Masters.

That night, I wasn't suddenly aware or awake in my dreams. Except the next day, my day off, I remembered that I had prayed to God in the manner written above. This kept me alive to the present, kept me looking for whatever form God may take- whatever whisper God may wish to speak in my ear. It brought me back to the now. More importantly, it brought me back to being with the now. I even had a feeling to drive to the coffee shop in a different direction. Feeling this to be true, I went a different route and ended up behind a car with their license plate ending in 777. Ahh, affirmation. This simple joy brought me such inner peace. That peace was shared with my fellows at the coffee shop. We had a wonderful time together.

Later in the day I wound up behind another car with a custom license plate that read, "PEACE2U" Wow, the present is really speaking to me(is what I thought). I silently nestled myself on this love bomb and continued the day.

You know... I didn't forget, but I didn't even connect the dots. Jesus gifted me the color orange. Not just me but a group. And some pretty incredible things happened today- not just the healing experience with the orange sun.

I took the opportunity at work to share with my coworker this presence, the present- and you know what? The now responded shortly after... This time I was able to take a picture. A new customer pulled up to the front of our store in a white car with a custom license plate, "WHT DOVE" (White Dove).



When she walked in I told her I loved her license plate, having just witnessed "PEACE2U" yesterday. She told me something that my spirit-mind interpreted on a different level. She said, "What a wonderful affirmation for all of us..."

In the moment I believe she was referencing the recent tragedy concerning the flood in Texas where the little girls at camp Mystic were washed away. We know a couple people effected by this tragedy.

There were some cool synchronicities with her too. For example, I learned she had a dog sitting in the back. When I told her our family dog: dalmatians- she said she used to have two dalmatians, a boy and a girl(exactly what I have now).

Later in the day I felt called to share this picture with a few other customers. It was amazing, one woman said she felt really blessed and was thankful I did share.

Near the end of the day I shared with a young man, feeling as if we belonged to this group energy- as if I was supposed to. In fact, what the new customer said earlier in the day started playing in my mind. "Meant for all of us..."

And I am really glad I shared. This young man opened up in our sharing. He told me how now days he lives a life full of gratitude. And it shows. He has very little financial stress, he is always smiling and always being cordial with anyone willing. I could see in his eyes as he looked at both of us(my coworker and I) that he was taking a courageous step forward with what he decided to share next. He shared his personal testament of accepting Jesus in his life. This was incredible because none of us mentioned Jesus or were even talking about religion, he wasn't even endorsing religion. He was endorsing how Christ lived, nothing more, and how it changed his life completely for the better.

The really interesting part is, as I listened to him lay his heart out for us, I began to swell with love and respect. My hairs were electrified, I could see every single hair standing up- and it really felt as if Christ was standing among us. I was in tears as waves of ecstasy rolled through my very being.

We shook hands and he left. And the rest of the day was feeling God before me, secretly blessing each customer- my friend, my boss...

And I believe all of this has something to do with the contact experience I shared earlier this morning.

Maybe Heaven really is here now. And even though I was joking- it really is heavenly you would show an interest and that we can share together, Carla.

It was nice watching each person reach their innermost sacred expression and allowing them a space to explore it. It's what makes life worth Living...

Yes, I especially love reading the joy you experience when you share your own discoveries.
Gentle regards <3

Oh, and I almost forgot- that young mans wisdom that he wished to offer was... It's not that things happen to you. It's that things happen for you. This means, like with your recent upsetting encounter, there was something for you. A blessing in disguise...

With love ~

early this morning, time unknown, maybe 3-4AM...? i had a visual behind closed eyes that was hyper realistic. i could feel everything. all that occupied my minds eye was an orange sun. i could feel every radiating ray, i felt wavey energy gazing at this magnificent orange sun. it was energizing my body, i was ready to jump out of bed i felt so much energy. as soon as i became aware of my self i started to descend into regular dreaming. but i remember just how good everything felt, and how amazing the orange light- and the orange orb of a sun were to witness. sublime.

Hi Jen. I know the feeling, being upset by those kind of things. I'm happy for all that you share here. Thanks for replying to the few threads that were up and giving your feedback. I'll be keeping my eyes and ears open for a person named Faith. 

Adrian, thanks for quoting what Jesus said. I am actually back to reading paper 196 "The Faith of Jesus" and I really enjoy the first few paragraphs:

JESUS enjoyed a sublime and wholehearted faith in God. He experienced the ordinary ups and downs of mortal existence, but he never religiously doubted the certainty of God's watchcare and guidance. His faith was the outgrowth of the insight born of the activity of the divine presence, his indwelling Adjuster. His faith was neither traditional nor merely intellectual; it was wholly personal and purely spiritual.

196:0.2 (2087.2)The human Jesus saw God as being holy, just, and great, as well as being true, beautiful, and good. All these attributes of divinity he focused in his mind as the "will of the Father in heaven." Jesus' God was at one and the same time "The Holy One of Israel" and "The living and loving Father in heaven." The concept of God as a Father was not original with Jesus, but he exalted and elevated the idea into a sublime experience by achieving a new revelation of God and by proclaiming that every mortal creature is a child of this Father of love, a son of God.

196:0.3 (2087.3)Jesus did not cling to faith in God as would a struggling soul at war with the universe and at death grips with a hostile and sinful world; he did not resort to faith merely as a consolation in the midst of difficulties or as a comfort in threatened despair; faith was not just an illusory compensation for the unpleasant realities and the sorrows of living. In the very face of all the natural difficulties and the temporal contradictions of mortal existence, he experienced the tranquillity of supreme and unquestioned trust in God and felt the tremendous thrill of living, by faith, in the very presence of the heavenly Father. And this triumphant faith was a living experience of actual spirit attainment. Jesus' great contribution to the values of human experience was not that he revealed so many new ideas about the Father in heaven, but rather that he so magnificently and humanly demonstrated a new and higher type of living faith in God. Never on all the worlds of this universe, in the life of any one mortal, did God ever become such a living reality as in the human experience of Jesus of Nazareth.

Here, it isn't as much of what Jesus spoke but how he lived. Here I understand Faith is not just a belief in great miracles, or drawn upon in times of despair. It is constant. It is living. That God is all-ways present. And more so, that Love is one of the greatest forces in this world. And it is Love that is guiding us. I especially love how the text exemplifies the idea that "living in the presence of god" is a sublime reality, full of thrills, joy and wonder. My own experiences affirm this notion.

I think the great truth is we are always in communion with God/Love. We wish to cultivate mindfulness, to be 'more' present. It tells me we do not always realize the constant communion with our Beloved. But, as we seek to harmonize our own Being- we may place greater Faith in this relationship with God.

Faith for me is God as Love, living and guiding all souls. Here and now.

And if it needs to be said, it is a personal relationship. Unique between you and God. For me, this life really is marrying the spiritual with the material. Heaven and Ego. This has been a desire of mine, even since a child. That declaration is here now- and heaven on earth can be attained. And we don't do it alone. (My humble opinion)

 

Last night I was watching a couple videos by Yogiraj Gurunath. As I explore the astral realms, the subconscious field and consciousness in general- I discover particular "forces" as "governing" realities- seen and unseen. Known and unknown. And I see through out the ages- intelligent life(no matter where, not just humans), in their exploration of consciousness, have come to elaborate on their own experiences and understanding of these governing forces. Initially I thought there was no hierarchy but I no longer believe that to be the case.

For simplicities sake- we can reference our own physical body. Are there not functions that perform their own duties within our physical body? Are there not commands that must be obeyed by a greater force in our own body? Individual components that allow a greater synthesis of Being? And now, what about the immaterial realities beyond our physical vehicle?

Anyways... Here is the one video by Gurunath-
https://youtu.be/xCXt5IeiFjM?si=h2PCnKRtrX8-H_QA
Description: Yogiraj Siddhanath expounds upon the secret mysteries of the spiritual hierarchy of the Inner Government of the World. This gives a glimpse into the roles of these Mighty Beings as they guide the evolution of Humanity. Yogiraj writes about this topic in more detail in his book Babaji The Lightning Standing Still.

Yogiraj also shows the comparison of the three dragon slayers on the terrestrial, celestial, and divine levels and the correlations across various religions and traditions. The dragon slayers are the destroyers of the ego at the various levels. Refer to the previous YouTube Video "The Guiding Hand of the Master, Slaying the Dragon of The Ego" to learn more.


-----

As I was watching, I suddenly saw parallels to the Urantia Book(something I have only dabbled in briefly). If I ever expound on the Urantia Book or historical philosophy I do so as a student, just a curious mind exploring the depths of knowledge presented. At times, I may inaccurately portray the Ubook or other historical references when justifying my own biases and beliefs. And so, learning is a process where perspectives might change. To be certain I was feeling there to be some correlation- I asked AI to quickly compile the parallels between the two... The Hindu understanding of Spiritual Hierarchy and the Urantia Book cosmology.

Pretty cool!!

Here's what was presented:

The spiritual government described by Yogiraj closely parallels the cosmic administration of The Urantia Book. Both depict a universe governed by a hierarchy of spiritual beings, each with defined responsibilities, working for the upliftment of humanity and the cosmos. The motif of the "dragon slayer"—the conqueror of ego and chaos—appears in both, symbolizing the victory of higher consciousness over lower nature at every level of existence.

In summary, both traditions present a multi-tiered spiritual administration, where advanced beings oversee, guide, and protect the evolutionary journey of souls, with the ultimate aim of union with the Divine or realization of cosmic citizenship.

Check out the table for a side by side comparison if you're interested enough!

  And that there is more to discover, and more to experience.

Rumi is great. I just listened to this by Gurunath- what do you think?

"Yogiraj reveals that the state of Asmita-Samadhi, in which a Yogi experiences oneness with all of Nature and Creation, is not the final state of enlightenment. Rather, it is a stage that the Yogi must pass through before reaching the ultimate Reality."

I think there are distinctions even when defining God. He has me questioning the unmanifest Absolute.

To think, there is so much intelligence- even in the form of deity, for us to experience- and more- there is a Lord of Gods, greater than personal deity- greater than creation.

I think my understanding is still elementary- I sometimes think Earth is an indicator of the "grade" or "gradient" we find ourselves. A school house. In duality I find a yearning for liberation- at other times, I experience true peace with all that is.

That peace for me is short lived, realizing I have work to do in order to create the desired life. In most cases, it is simply becoming aware. And before the unmanifest Absolute, I am still happy with exploring all of what personal deity and creation have to offer. For this reason I also embrace the idea of, "Eternal Career" believing there are worlds beyond this- intelligence greater than ours, and are realities we are destined to experience. I do believe we may even come face to face with personal deity, that which is responsible for the act of creation- and even after, continue on in ever evolving spiritual realities.

I feel like this is an aspect I need to improve on... I know that things happen for a reason and to learn a lesson, in my case, I feel like it was to measure myself, to see if I'm more on the side of consciousness or ego. Did I let myself get offended or did I act with wisdom?

Tak, I think this is why I am drawn to you as far as our relatability is concerned. I feel very similar with regards to what you've said quoted above. I feel a burning desire to be MORE conscious/aware.

I wish to improve this aspect in all areas of my life. From what I watch, what I think, what I eat, what I speak...

That there is this desire to do things, "better." It's completely fine, maybe because we recognize being the master of ones life means freedom- rather than being a slave to our whims or impulses.

I'm just thinking out loud with you and the others here- I think there is a need for balance. Sometimes this desire to be MORE can be too much, and suddenly we are rebelling against our best interest. Other times, we are really our worse enemy when we constantly weigh ourselves in this manner.

There is also another route, to give Faith in God that we are being Loved and Guided. This guidance is where I question those behind the scene, immaterial realities.

Was this man interacting with you, because behind the scenes you were exactly the right person to trigger important events in his life?

And even with the smaller things in life... If we ask, do things happen for a reason? We may even consider when hesitation may serve a greater purpose, like- you aren't sure if you should drive somewhere and waiting just a little bit meant avoiding a potential car accident.

We can't be expected to know all of the reasons, when we are so identified with these bodies and the linear experience. We especially can't be expected to know all of the reasons for *other persons, total strangers. That's between them and God. But Faith in God, Faith that we are so dearly loved and being guided- this allows for that semblance of balance and surrender. This allows grace for our shortcomings and the shortcomings of others. When we are moved by that, we are provided understanding... And even our perception- the need to be better, changes. Maybe things become more lax as we discover the rhymes and the reasons, and all the meanwhile, our ability to live consciously becomes even greater.

I'm certain you've experienced exactly this kind of clarity. So, allow yourself some grace. I must do the same as I am constantly beating myself up. Remember above all things how precious you are to the one guiding you. And, even when we don't understand it- how precious all life is to that One, who guides ALL.

We will get, "there" sister. I believe "there" comes when we are in that sweet spot of acceptance and surrender to Divine Love.

I felt terrible all week and couldn't sleep. I'm still not fully recovered emotionally. To be honest, it was hard for me to think about God, about us all being One, and about the lessons on this planet. I was in fight-or-flight mode all week and filled with anger, which I hadn't felt in a long time. In some ways, I feel like these situations serve to "measure" us and see how much we need to improve. In my case, a lot. But I feel like in the end I can always see... Only now I can understand the situation and see that this was a blessing for everyone.
Today, I went for a walk in the woods with a friend and saw squirrels jumping through the trees, and it was all so beautiful.

Thanks for reminding me about the observer mode! It's not easy not to get involved, and I really think it takes years and years of practice.
Apparently, we're all very sensitive!

Good morning Carla,

I hope you're feeling better on this day. Whether it was you standing behind the desk, or someone else, this man carries his problems with him. It was nothing you did- and I am glad you're OK.

Your post is point in case we can all improve ourselves, that we truly are working with and towards something greater. I say this because of what you've said here,

I feel like these situations serve to "measure" us and see how much we need to improve. In my case, a lot.

But I would rather not have said it- because I am talking to all of us here reading this, not just you. I would rather you not have to worry yourself about how you or others "measure up." None of us should. Instead, just recognize we all have work to do- and we are all doing the work. This means at times, we move through these unsavory experiences.

We both live in the city, so I understand the fight or flight. I have had an uncanny ability to bring out the absolute worse, nonsensical rage in passerbys for saying good morning or even just making eye contact. I think I've shared with you some of the really crazy stories.

I've been placed in a similar state as you for months, made uneasy around people in the city until one day a lady walked up to me and gave me a hug. It helped restore my Faith even in the lower places. It felt as if God himself/herself was helping release the tension/upset. Rest assured, your encounter with that man was not normal- and was more about his instability and lack than anything else.

We would do well to pray for him, but please know that I pray for you too. I believe you are protected, but I pray for your continued protection. Not that you don't know this. But that God guides and allows you to feel it even in your work place. I pray for your quick recovery, the restoration of your Faith in Love as the driving force behind all things. I am happy to see you find comfort and peace so readily after this upsetting experience. ***HUGS***






---------------------------------------------------
PS.
I think there are things that happen, "behind the scenes" that may never make sense to us. I've been wondering lately if Jesus dying on the cross had a greater spiritual reality - where a thousand of years is but a day to God. Sorry to divert the train of thought here, you're my friend and we've been showing an interest in Jesus lately. I can't believe we, as humans, ever entertained the thought of skinning other humans alive. We've come a long way since those dark and detestable displays of human personality. We still have a long way to go- but I wonder if Jesus dying on the cross helped elevate our understanding and evolution towards God.

I also wonder what work, "behind the scenes" has occurred for us to have encountered or even pull out the negativity in a person like poison being extracted from the body. In these moments, time will heal and continued Faith in Love will find ways to manifest itself in your life.

Love to you sweet Sister <3

Except to say that you, as a practice, are bringing to a conscious fore what is not ordinarily considered. In this case, it is a good lesson. I am happy you have such a lovely environment to enjoy, and that you can- proverbially speaking, dredge through the muds in order to find the springs of peace and joy.   

Life beyond Life. I would say very cool and very interesting more than weird, but that's just me!   

Thank you Frosty. This is in complete alignment with where 'my' thoughts have been 'as of late.'

Here are some things I found myself saying with others just yesterday and this morning. I am sharing a gist of what I said because I want to highlight just how incredible your timing is, where the information you have shared is exactly where I find my heart at this time. That is to mean, I find a desire to commune with a truer aspect of reality. And thinking further, it's possible this 'moment in time' is a reflection of our collective consciousness in its present state.

Yesterday, convo with a friend:
"The senses, the emotions, the chemical churning happening in our brain- all part of a (beautiful) system that every so often seems to make us forget who or what we really are."


This morning in contemplation:
"Physical reality is not as we perceive it. Our identity is anchored to a system of physical senses- but what we see, feel or even think is not our true identity. And there is a living intelligence able to manipulate physical matter in order to speak to our immaterial personalities. It guides us, and in moments of receptivity, it can dissolve the very notion of a stable physical world around us."

...


This concept has been weighing heavily on my mind.

My pappy recently passed away and I was filled with an instant knowing. There was no thought, there was no feeling. All of that came after. But instantaneously the observer was given information and seconds later the observer interpreted the information as such: "Like a thief in the night." That's how the energy was translated into thought in my brain. I understood this meant my Pappy had passed away. I went to look at my phone and saw my Mom texted me at 2:45AM while I was asleep confirming it happened.

I woke up from a dream last night where I was time traveling and visiting the past. It seems this is another theme in the, "collective consciousness." Many others in my immediate environment report looking back at details they missed from a past event. But immediately upon wake I found myself looking at an old photo where even the environment in the photo was speaking to me in new and meaningful ways. 


Then there are photos where light forms not just words but actual faces. There are photos- even of people interacting where if you gaze at them, there is another reality underneath what is being presented. Be it a ET CRAFT or FACE or ENERGETIC IMPRESSION. And curiously enough, it all seems to speak to wherever one is on their souls path. Sometimes the information is not so easily recognizable, as if coming from another life or another world. All of this to say, sometimes physical reality feels like a joke. It's ok to say this is SELF as in all is consciousness. But I acknowledge there are indeed personalities invisible helping me experience to a greater degree what others would call SELF or higher self. I dare not rob them of their individuations- they are helping me truly grasp in a way I might actualize the dissolution of our material world. With the gazing, I am not just being shown something from the past- but even something new, forming a relationship with* and in a way that advances personal evolution.

Interesting to note... In meditation yesterday, I was engulfed with such complete peace. And while I could not actualize what I was experiencing through my physical host body, it was as if ALL POTENTIAL and ALL ANSWERS to what compels me were there in this field. I was staring at the golden light hugging the air and the moving green leaves of my Sufi tree. I was filled with such contentment, as if in that field all answers were right there being experienced. I haven't many words to describe what might mean infinite potential ready to take form. All I could really feel, within the limitless knowing, was peace. And the thought that this peace is our true identity.

Well. I am very happy you were compelled to share. God is great! <3 Thank you <3

Todays Sake

Through motion and change, life becomes intelligible; we live a life of change, but it is constancy we seek. It is this innate desire of the soul that leads man to God.

    Bowl of Saki, June 25, by Hazrat Inayat Khan

Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:

Man placed in the midst of this ever-changing world yet appreciates and seeks for constancy somewhere. He does not know that he must develop the nature of constancy in himself; it is the nature of the soul to value that which is dependable. But is there anything in the world on which one can depend, which is above change and destruction? All that is born, all that is made, must one day face destruction. All that has a beginning has also an end; but if there is anything one can depend upon it is hidden in the heart of man, it is the divine spark, the true philosopher's stone, the real gold, which is the innermost being of man.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VI/VI_1.htm


What is this mortal world? What is this physical existence? What is this life of changes? If it were not for belief, what use is it all? Something which is changing, something which is not reliable, something which is liable to destruction. Therefore it is not only for the sake of truth, but for life itself that one must find belief in oneself, develop it, nurture it, allow it to grow every moment of one's life, that it may culminate in faith. It is that faith which is the mystery of life, the secret of salvation.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/IV/IV_12.htm


The whole of the external life is nothing but a succession of experiences, one after the other, night and day. That is why it is called a journey. Yet there is a part of life from which this life of changes has sprung; the life which is everlasting, which is eternal, the life to which all things return; and that life is the goal. Therefore, life is not only a journey; it is a goal. The goal is the stable part of life, the source of life; the manifested life called creation is the journey.

In this way we see that there are really two journeys. There is the journey from the goal to the life in the world, and there is the journey from the life in the world to the goal. And both journeys are natural. As it is natural to go forth from the eternal goal, so it is natural to go from the changing life to the life which is unchangeable.

   from  https://wahiduddin.net/mv2/VII/VII_30.htm

I think it's really nice you want to use your money to help others. Money is a way to help us evolve spiritually if I think about it. I used to blindly give all the money I earned, spending extravagantly both on my self and the people I loved... again- no concept of savings. I had to learn to save before I could give consciously(rather than blindly)- today I weigh whether or not I want to spend what little extra I have on myself or if it would be better suited for something less selfish. The feelings that come with it are lessons in the making. It's a blending of 'feeling' and 'reasoning' rather than unconscious action. 

My experience thus far has taught me there is a difference between giving without thought and giving thoughtfully. A concept where money is just one of many branches- and situations, innumerable.

A hearty welcome to the forum! I hope someone may provide you with information you find helpful. For now I would say, start by listening to your internal thoughts more. Become aware of your self and your environment. This may not seem as helpful or as direct as you are hoping for. I will allow others to chime in with additional details. We're all fellow explorers here. What helps me explore this space, has more to do with whether or not I am conscious or aware. That this experience has stuck with you all those years, and you desire to know more- this is a fantastic start. Be open, because answers may come from unexpected places and unordinary ways. Enjoy the ride~   

[personal/experiential relationship with God.]

Hi guys,

Thank you for taking the time to share your personal insights, interest and experiences. It may be that one day we are with limited faculties and unable to consciously express ourselves. I am grateful this place exist, and allows us to explore these spaces together.

One might ask why, at the astral pulse forum, is there so much talk about God and Faith coming from this guy tides? Well, I believe the astral and spiritual concepts we share belong together like grapes to wine. And I agree with you, Adrian- one needn't be 'religious' or 'spiritual' to attain or experience either/or. And I agree with you- LightBeam that even specific words can have different meaning depending on the individual. Like how my understanding and use of the word Religion is completely different from the conventional and often negative association ordinarily ascribed with the word. Not that I don't understand the underlying disagreeing energy people feel when they think of 'Religion'. And there are words that we are so attached to, that have a potential to create sparks where firm or rigid personalities find themselves rubbing together. 

I have many points of interest that spurred during my morning walk through the bayou that I'd like to share, but for now I will try to keep it most relevant to the thread and the direction we take it- together. Perhaps that my mind was in this space, with both of you, means we were together at this time.

The text I presently find myself engaged in also mirrors the sentiments you two are sharing. While I can not deny this important aspect, I believe just as critical- what should always be remembered, is the personal/experiential relationship with God. We humans of Earth crave Experiential Wisdom.

The text I am reading, and find very interesting at this time- explains God as both impersonal and personal. And, that we have the opportunity to fuse with God. This fusion is experienced by degrees of both realization and actualization. It is an evolution that continues even after the attachment to our mortal body is released. It goes on to say that we will even meet God, as a personality, and even after- go on to provide acts of service in systems our finite and mortal minds can not yet comprehend. This acknowledges God, again, as all that is(from no thing to every thing). For simplicities sake, it may be better to allow paradox since linear reasoning is not enough to conceptualize the infinite I-AM.

The text does say that fusion with God is possible in the present incarnation we find ourselves. This is where words may begin to constrict, even if we are ultimately saying the same thing. For clarification, others call this fusion a shift in identity. We may even achieve amazing God-like abilities once we actualize and fuse with the fragment of God within ourselves and with God all around us. There are two masters that I know of who, by their understanding of God within and all around could not only materialize and de-materialize their physical entity by Will... They could teleport their followers. Babaji is one such Master Personality who could teleport a handful of his disciples from one geographic location to another. Jesus could walk on water and even raise the dead. 

There are also many great Saints, hermits, and even ordinary people who make no claim of Godship, religious path or spiritual discipline that are worthy of our respect and admiration. Nothing is impossible. I suppose believing that is a great leap of Faith. And the acts we find worthy were actualizations accomplished by fellow mortals, human beings of Earth. The other day, I tried to Will that a friend/acquaintance get hired on the spot. I prayed to Father God to make it so. It didn't happen. But, there was a very unique energy in the air. A stillness like no other as if I were discovering a new space/plane as I made my plea to God and tried placing my Faith in this exchange. Perhaps, Faith is a practice that requires a bit of training. That I became aware of something tangible, something new- maybe this is an introductory towards that experiential wisdom we so often crave. 

I think I realize now, the degree of my actualization of God within/God around. I notice it in moments people call synchronicity, but for me, these synchronicities are more than just some cool alignment. They are the works of something so powerful that space-time will bend and distort in order to acknowledge what is happening within, undisclosed to my fellows, as a way to further encourage and propel me towards my Hearts desire/Fusion with God.

The text coins the phrase, "Eternal Career" but I do not think of God Actualization as a daunting task- especially once we understand the varying degrees of Love, and many potentials ahead- such an endeavor is instead taken and shared with the greatest Joy. Eternal-Joy. And who else do I know, in their capacity to know God, has said similar? Paramahansa Yogananda. His phrase: "Ever-New Bliss" was born from peering into and experiencing the nature of God.

This morning I experienced the outside again speaking to me internally, where engravings in the cement came with whispered ideas and phrases. When I looked at the light reflecting off the tinted building across the street, the windows slowly started to move, swirl and stretch and a feeling inside of me started to match. As if everything around me, within me, was in slow motion moving to a point of collapse. At the same time, my Heart felt expanded and the very nature of reality- expounded. I'm not sure how much I understood, but that I received this lesson I do consider a blessing and am grateful for the Divine assistance.

Yesterday, just after-noon... A woman whispered my name. She was not visible... There was no physical body around. But she came into my left ear- I could feel her, and tried to welcome her by opening up the energy in my back along my spine. She came over the left side- and the way she said it, there was so much love coming from her voice. Her voice was not interpreted at the thought level. It was an audible whisper, external. It immediately placed me, "in a state." My heart longed. I want to know you.

This morning- WBTB... From 6AM-7AM, I can't remember the dream details that much... Only that there was a woman gifting me these gems. I think they were blue and green. She placed them in my hand. The feeling is, whoever she is- she is trying to help me wake up. She was trying to wake me up from my dream. The gems were somehow a way to pull me out from being unaware during the dreaming state. Well... That's as far as I got.

It feels the degree I have actualized is not even an inch on a ruler compared to the Master-Personalities who have walked this Earth. But I do have Faith that I have one foot in, whatever door is opened. I do feel and believe I am being guided and helped. And I excitedly draw ever-closer, as a burning desire to do so. And still more, I have Faith that the degrees of my actualization will continue even after this Life. 

Woops! I totally skipped number 9. My 9 was meant for 8.

Also very interesting... Tak skipped number 9 too!

What happened? 

I have to really think on this one. In a recent discussion titled, "Instant Healing" the word Faith was brought up.

Yesterday, someone defined Faith for me quoting the bible.

This morning, a channeled message on another forum was randomly selected defining Faith.

I have Faith that there is a guiding Spirit bringing this energy and contemplation to my awareness.

Now I find myself questioning whether I agree with the definitions brought to me, how I understand it, what I think it means.

I'm curious how others experience and define Faith???

I'm digging it     
Great way to start my morning and get out that door!

Good morning!  I'll play along~ I'm not sure how to answer some of these questions.

1) People.
2) Depends on the person.
3) I'm not sure.
4) They never really talked about money.
5) Opportunity?
6) Not sure, I don't feel fear towards money.
7) Energy?
9) Be paid more
10) Own property
11) Losing myself/Hurting myself

Separately...

My Dad always believed, "work hard, play hard" and "you can't take with you" and above all he prioritized family as the ultimate bond. Growing up, I had no concept of savings. In my early 20's I made great money with no college degree. I lost it all humoring my vices and depression.
My parents took me back in and allowed me another opportunity to get back out there on my own. I am fortunate, after some hard knocks, to have released my attachment to particular vices. Having sincerely prayed to God, I believe he has helped me here.

Now I save conscientiously and don't think too much about money other than, as a city boy, I need to have some if I want certain comforts and luxuries. I feel more will come into my life continuing the present path I find myself.

I feel grateful for Gods protection and guidance in all situations.  <3

Cheers ! 

I enjoy reading little blurbs here and there from this book. It's been fun contemplating and feeling the message. I also feel, after some time, the manner in which they articulate and wish to portray is somehow absorbed better in my mind. The more I go back to it, the more I can understand.

I've mentioned this book before, and considering our many discussions and threads on God and the nature of God- I thought I'd post this here- and share little quotes that interest me. Spiritual evolution seems a fitting branch to create this thread.

This is from Paper 105 titled, "Deity and Reality"

A few blurbs that my mind has enjoyed relishing:

TO EVEN high orders of universe intelligences infinity is only partially comprehensible, and the finality of reality is only relatively understandable. The human mind, as it seeks to penetrate the eternity-mystery of the origin and destiny of all that is called real, may helpfully approach the problem by conceiving eternity-infinity as an almost limitless ellipse which is produced by one absolute cause, and which functions throughout this universal circle of endless diversification, ever seeking some absolute and infinite potential of destiny.

Ever remember that man's comprehension of the Universal Father is a personal experience. God, as your spiritual Father, is comprehensible to you and to all other mortals; but your experiential worshipful concept of the Universal Father must always be less than your philosophic postulate of the infinity of the First Source and Center, the I AM. When we speak of the Father, we mean God as he is understandable by his creatures both high and low, but there is much more of Deity which is not comprehensible to universe creatures. God, your Father and my Father, is that phase of the Infinite which we perceive in our personalities as an actual experiential reality, but the I AM ever remains as our hypothesis of all that we feel is unknowable of the First Source and Center. And even that hypothesis probably falls far short of the unfathomed infinity of original reality.

The universe of universes, with its innumerable host of inhabiting personalities, is a vast and complex organism, but the First Source and Center is infinitely more complex than the universes and personalities which have become real in response to his willful mandates. When you stand in awe of the magnitude of the master universe, pause to consider that even this inconceivable creation can be no more than a partial revelation of the Infinite.

This specific paper is presented by a Melchizedek of Nebadon.

Yes, lets. = ) I am feeling especially Blessed, Reinvigorated and Inspired today. I understand the energies from this conversation come from multiple perspectives and various views held by members here, my self included. But let it be known- it's all Go(o)d.

I feel such a constriction here, because it seems there is a desire to make known that something sacred you cherish and hold to be self evident. Nothing I've said pulls away from the point you and Adrian are trying to make. However, I would add, that Jesus is not a tool. Jesus was a human being, and a living God for many. God is not a tool void of personality. And this is not meant to rob you of your kinship with God, or evolution towards Godhood.

That we use choice words, *with God, *of God- *with Spirit *of Spirit, this implies a relationship. That we identify ego and no ego, that we say we forget and talk about test- there is an impetus for growth and evolution. And there are choices to be made.

Make no mistake, your journey does not end here, after your point is made. What we find ourselves engaged in, are the varying degrees of actualization of Union with God. One might realize they are God and healers, but to what extent has this understanding been actualized? And does it end there?

Nobody wants their feet forcibly held to the fire. That we find joy in our discovery is my point.

[to God]

Adrian, I am happy your revelations serve you well. I don't define religion as adherence to dogma or tradition. Religion, in its sincerity, is a stepping stone towards the ideal. It is experiential and of the heart. That you clarify the difference between religion and spirituality is because religion as tradition and dogma have chained and ruined the personal experiences of spiritual seekers alike. Even Jesus, who came to break these chains, was made to suffer from the crystallization of belief in others. The relationship with Spirit is most important and it is Living.

That Jesus prayed to God, and often, calling God Father- makes me believe Faith in God is just as powerful, if not more powerful. You don't need to convince me of your belief in Godship or the reality of God. It's Union with God we all seek. Consciously or not.

There are various degrees of both realization and actualization. Jesus actualized his Godship to the point he could raise the dead, and dematerialize his body by Will. And, absolutely, he is an example for us all since we are children of God. Children who, surely, desire to grow. His faith in God appointed him King of Kings, a system sovereign. And I believe, there is more than one system sovereign. And the various degrees and vibrations towards union/fusion with God are to be experienced/understood. Even after this physical body is returned to its host planet.

Yes, there's a lot to learn from LB's personal experience. Yours too!



...If it isn't clear, I find much to agree with in your post and am encouraging continued joy in discovery.
