Leadership Swami

By Elysha

 In order to seriously realize who you are, you will need to learn the difference of the feeling of when you are stopping as you; your heart, and when you are being distracted by what you are not; your chattering mind. To feel this, you will need to learn to give your full attention in every moment.

Your chattering mind will not have you realizing who you are. It simply cannot because your mind knows nothing about this one. The chattering mind is worlds apart from your heart; it is not going to be of any help with any of this.

Neither can your mind get hold of this one that you are, for there is nothing to grasp or to claim. No, you are simply going to have to find where you already are, right now. And your mind is not going to like you doing it. In fact, your mind will make quite a noise.

Once you begin to learn to see past this noise, the chattering mind will then open its bags of subterfuge and it will go into stealth mode. What you can keep on learning through all of this, is that you are this one which is already right here and prior to this active and tricky mind that keeps demanding your attention.

This mind of yours does everything within its power to distract you from realizing who you are. It has so many tricks up its sleeve. It is adept in this art of distraction; it has it all down to a very fine art. However in every moment that you see the mind’s game, you can simply shift your attention away from your thoughts to this aliveness that is flowing through your eyes.

As you continue to find who you are, you will see that this mind has amazing capacities for distracting you from simply being deeply at rest in the realization of who you are. However, all it is really doing is attempting to ensure its survival; like a small child seeking attention. And because this mind is not you, whenever you see that this is what it is doing, you can again shift your attention to who you are.

If you fall into the trap of thinking that you are realizing when it is only you trying to be something that you are not, then you create a very deep pit for yourself where realization will be lost to you. Your mind is not going to have you realizing - not ever.

The mind is ingenious in its capacity to blind you from realizing who you actually are. You are not, as it would have you believe, under its thumb. It keeps distracting you back into believing that it is you. But you already stand before this mind even arises.

You are always here, right here before this mind. You can see this right now. Simply stop right now and focus your attention into this moment, into all that is around you. Here you are, before any labels, judgments, or descriptions made by the chattering mind.

Realization is very simple. But it has to be realized. You have to find where you actually are and stop right there. You are the aliveness that is flowing through your eyes right now. Bring all of your attention to this one and rest here before the thoughts, even as they continue.

Like learning to play an instrument or learning a new skill, realizing who you are requires you to give your full conscious attention. You begin this journey one conscious moment at a time.

It is a natural journey. It has you becoming much more aware of what is going on around you. It brings you fully into your body.

With this movement at the fore, you will naturally find yourself drawn to the things that remind you of who you are and leaving alone those things that are going to distract you from realizing who you are.

So give your full attention to the aliveness that is flowing through your eyes in this moment right now, stop right here and be this one.

Watch Out How You Become Spiritual

By Bob Sherman

 You’ll come across countless ideas about ways to grow to be more spiritual. They seek developing companionship with the spiritual forces that exist in the world.

An Internet search will turn up scores of websites that suggest such actions as:

- Become knowledgeable about the old indigenous faiths that once existed in your region

- Become sensitive to both the mystical and material domains

- Clear or quiet your mind and fill it with truth, peace, light and delight

- Enlarge your awareness about god, the supernatural and paranormal

- Acknowledge your divinity and grow to be co-creators that resonate with the essence of your private paradise

Thus, getting to know the spiritual forces that are all about us and in the world is clearly considered one key feature of being spiritual. But, what few understand is that there are distinct spiritual beings or forces that exist in the cosmos. And, by simply yielding ourselves to spiritual forces, we will be uncertain about which group we are giving ourselves to.

The Bible reveals that these distinctive spiritual forces epitomize the true God along with his holy messengers or angles, and the other set is comprised of defiant Satan with his hoard of unruly, sinful angels and unclean spirits called demons.

That two separate groups of spiritual forces exists is illustrated in the incident of the prophet Elisha on a mountain in Dothan in the course of one of the numerous wars between Israel and Syria.

At this time when Syria was involved in a struggle with Israel, the prophet Elisha often heard communications from God concerning the position of the Syrian army. He warned King Saul, the King of Israel, many times regarding how to stay away from a planed ambush by the Syrians.

The Syrian king tried to find out who was the spy amongst his own men. But, a servant of the king said that it was Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, who tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedchamber. 2 Kings 6:12.

There Syrian king then sent his troops to Dothan, the town in Israel where Elisha was to be found, to arrest Elisha.

One morning, when the chariots and a huge number of the armed forces of Syria had encircled Dothan, Elisha’s servant was frightened at the sight of such a great army. He appealed to Elisha, asking what they should do.

Elisha answered, Do not fear,–for, more, are, they who are with us, than, they who are with them. 2 Kings 6:16. Elisha then requested that God would permit his servant to see these angelic hosts. When God opened the eyes of Elisha’s servant he saw the angelic multitude that protected Elisha.

But, the important detail to consider is that there were two angelic hosts. There was the group that was with Elisha and others who were with the Syrians. And these two angelic hosts were in opposition to one another.

Jesus also demonstrated his belief in these two spiritual forces when he spoke with those who believed on him but were not faithful to his teachings. He said, You come from your father, the devil, and you desire to do what your father wants you to do. The devil was a murderer from the beginning. He has never been truthful. He doesn’tt know what the truth is. Whenever he tells a lie, hes doing what comes naturally to him. Hes a liar and the father of lies. John 8:44.

So, the significance for us is apparent. There are spiritual forces in the universe. But, the idea that without discriminating you want to get in touch with them and join your life to them thinking you will grow to be more spiritual is not wise.

Unless you seek the true God in meekness and seek Gods ways, you expose yourself to deceiving spirits and demons who will ultimately command you into rebellion against God and his ways. And your end will not be enjoyable.

On the other hand, Jesus gave his word that every single one who comes to him would receive life. And though they die, Jesus will resurrect them back to life.

Thus, choose your spiritual guides with awareness.

What is
The Shift?

By Suzy Morgan

 The Shift is a much talked about non-existent physical place that is a buzzword in spiritual circles. The Shift is neither here nor there but rather a transitional point in time. We are living and have lived for centuries in what is termed a 3 dimensional reality. We are moving, or so it is rumored, into the 4th or 5th dimension.

The 5th dimension is the goal, the promise of The Secret. The 4th seems to be an intermediary resting place. Not quite so challenging as the 3rd dimension but not as wonderful as the 5th. My Angels explain the 4th dimension to me by saying its like getting Bs in school. Its fine. But As are better.

The idea is that by purifying our thoughts and by releasing our pent-up anger and pain stuffed into our lower energy centers or chakras, while still maintaining our niceness and integrity, we will be able to cleanse our energy in our body and field. This is supposed to make our physicality light enough to move us into the 5th dimension.

The idea is to learn to forgive ourselves for our myriad of mistakes. To learn to forgive our parents and our abusers for their injustices to our bodies and souls. Once weve got that down and actually mean it, then we are ready to let the Light of the Divine fill us and move us into what we think of as enlightenment. By this time we are filled with Love and have the concept of forgiveness activated so we actually believe we are all One. Trust and love will supercede judgment of others.

Whether you remain in the 3rd dimension, slide into the 4th where your life seems so much smoother, or you glide into the 5th where you are in you are holding and shining the Light for the planet, is completely up to you.

Enlightenment in the physical body occurs through your willingness to change your behavior. You will still be a physical being in a human body while the change within you reflects a loving and forgiving heart.
