God&#8217;s ways for us to live are not complex, but simple. Treat people the way you want to be treated. Honor your body.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p> In our lifetime, each of us has a secret assignment—one or more specific positive actions that we came to this world to perform. If only we knew exactly which particular good work, or works, we’ve come here to do. </p>
<p>The vast majority of people don’t even know they have an assignment to complete, and many who do know, negotiate with themselves: “If I’m spiritual at least 75% of the time, that’s enough. Chances are I’ll do what I’m supposed to do somewhere in that 75%.”</p>
<p>Or we might look around and judge people as being “spiritual” less than 75% of the time in order to help convince ourselves that we’re doing enough. But is it enough?</p>
<p>The fact is that each positive deed we do removes a little darkness that limits our perception. It’s like cleaning a dirty window: We get greater clarity and the Light shines more brightly. It also means it’s far more likely we will recognize our own special assignment when it comes along, if only we’ve been preparing ourselves each step of the way.</p>
<p>It may be that we’ve come here to do 12 specific good things. And although we might have done 750 positive actions throughout the course of our lives, what if we didn’t do the 12 we were meant to do? Telling ourselves “mañana” or “I’ve probably done enough for today” is never good enough. Don’t wait for tomorrow to do your spiritual work. Think of today as the last chance.</p>
<p>This week, let’s keep asking ourselves, “What positive deed can I do right now?”</p>
<p>I gain the ability to see the spiritual challenges in every moment, before they become the foundations of chaos and crises.</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Yehuda</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong>Another reminder pertinent to today:</strong><br />
<strong></p>
<p>This article in response to Dr. Hawkins lecture regarding spirituality and issues of our modern civilization, is getting my front page attention again due to current world events.</strong></p>
<p>The errors of modern society have made the spiritual path more difficult. What we&#8217;re witnessing today is perception becoming everyday truth as opposed to Absolute Truth (The Truth of Divinity). <em>This is the Truth of Divinity via the Infinite Field of Consciousness (God) through the use of higher levels of consciousness and Kinesiology.  </em>This has led to Western civilization&#8217;s level of consciousness falling to non-integrity. This was tested on stage by Dr Hawkins.  </p>
<p><strong>What is happening?</strong><br />
Due to present events this has become a significant issue. We are at a critical point because what is being witnessed through the media, politics, business, and education is relativism in its most <span style="text-decoration:none;float:right;margin:3px 8px 8px 0px;padding:3px;border:solid 1px #ccc;"><img src='/wp-content/images/WesternCivsmall.jpg' alt='' /> </span>  radical form.  It is the collapse of society through the repetition of false-speak as well as errors in thought and action due to lower levels of consciousness <em>often in the form of evil </em>run amok.  Relativism is the truth according to the individual. This would imply that there are as many truths as there are people and beliefs. </p>
<p>There is only one Truth about anything. You either have Truth or non-truth. <span style="font-size:xx-small;">The Truth itself has its levels of essence according to the realm of its existence, nevertheless Truth is still Truth. </span>The light is either on (regardless of its luminescence) or it’s not.</p>
<p>Since we are already witnessing world relativism what we&#8217;re left with is the truth according to personal beliefs run rampant.  Cynics and skeptics abound, creating more of the same. Cynicism and skepticism both calibrate beneath the level of integrity <em>(200) Power versus Force, Dr. David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.)</em></p>
<p><strong>What is there to do? <em>(Articles&#8230;What&#8217;s Going on With the World?, Forgive Them For They Know Not What They Do)</em>. </strong><br />
In the real-world perhaps a march or a protest would be involved, but the path to enlightenment precludes force and activism. Only the Power of Divinity stands as a certainty to those who choose to embrace the path to God through Truth.  </p>
<p>Although following Divinity through religion or religious doctrine may find you kinder and forgiving, the path to God through Truth leads to enlightenment. What needs to be known is why this is happening, and the why is the current level of world consciousness. Nearly 85% of the world calibrates below integrity. That would certainly prohibit forcing change upon all of the worlds&#8217; societies.  By raising yourself up, you help to raise up the world. This is teaching by example. The power of the levels of love and kindness, is stronger exponentially than all the lower levels combined.</p>
<p><strong>Where are we going? </strong><br />
The where does not matter to most of the world because of the above evident reasons, but the implications of what we do here are karmic and can be lasting nevertheless.</p>
<p>The short time we spend in our earthly life, has led many to wonder where we spend eternity. Although this question may not become relevant until we’ve reached a certain level of consciousness, the Truth of eternity is we reside where we have become as a result of what we are. This is a personal choice &#8212; a choice our essence makes as an eternal being. <span style="text-decoration:none;float:right;margin:3px 8px 8px 0px;padding:3px;border:solid 1px #ccc;"><img src='/wp-content/images/angels9small.jpg' alt='' /> </span></p>
<p><strong>Why is this important to know?</strong><br />
What we create on earth is a part of our eternal journey and the mere tip of the iceberg of what we can aspire to be when the realization of Divinity is within us. It all depends on whether or not the journey to be with or be like God,  is essential to you as an infinite spirit.  Only the fear of the loss of the ego self prevents us from being our Highest Self. Relativity/perception becomes Essence when we are aware of the presence of God. Until then, what we have is what we are witnessing.  To paraphrase Dr. Hawkins,  There is no opposition to upholding your own Highest potential. To perfect the potentiality of that which you are, is revering God in the Highest, and is your greatest gift to the world.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong>A Reminder:</strong></p>
<p>Mass illusion is overtaking the populous. For example, politics is all about struggle and control. It is internal self-importance projected onto the world. People have a narcissistic investment in their beliefs. Consequently Truth appears to be dangerous. Truth is not popular. What is popular is popularity. Everyone wants to be part of the crowd. This is known as herd instinct. It’s what captivates the mind of humanity most of the time. That is why…</p>
<p>There is no more allegiance to the truth, but to a popularity or dedication to an “ism.” The narcissistic core of judgementalisms is to proclaim your superiority. In this society that superiority has often transformed into a vocation—as in one&#8217;s personal religion, moral values, race, gender, ideologies, and sexual orientation for example. Socrates perceived that man doesn&#8217;t know the illusory good from the real good even though he chooses what he believes to be the good. Because of this, humans project the good on to that which they desire. But we cannot disregard that…</p>
<p>The most profound fact of all is karma (Divine cause and effect), and that it does not excuse ignorance. What the serpent knew (in the Garden of Eden) <span style="text-decoration:none;float:right;margin:3px 8px 8px 0px;padding:3px;border:solid 1px #ccc;"><a href='http://www.myswizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lantern_serpent_elfwood.jpg' title='lantern_serpent_elfwood.jpg'><img src='http://www.myswizard.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/lantern_serpent_elfwood.jpg' alt='lantern_serpent_elfwood.jpg' /></a> </span>was the inner innocence of the child, which is that part of us that identifies perception as essence. [The serpent, being a representation of seduction or wickedness] plays upon the naiveté of the gullible. This is significant because…</p>
<p>You absorb everything like a computer. With Spiritual intention you begin to sort out the truth from fallaciousness, and when the Buddhic eye opens (at level 600,) you instantly can recognize essence from perception. Love, consideration, and reverence for life, which is what you have become, compensates for the much of the negativity of all humankind. Therefore take solace in the knowledge that…</p>
<p>Divinity is a field of propensities and likelihoods. We exist within a state of inner freedom like an iron filing inside an infinite field of infinite power, and when we align ourselves with that field, we counterbalance all of humankind. When you search for enlightenment you benefit all. Without this fact (and the intentions and actualizations of those on the inner path) the world would certainly destroy itself on its present course.  </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>  By unspeakable I assume you mean an unspeakable event which affects you personally or at the observer level. You process all events at your level of consciousness. Without going into how each level processes something, when something &#8220;awful&#8221; happens we immediately place an adjective on the event such as I just did. That signifies its degree on your consciousness or unconsciousness. To understand &#8220;why&#8221; dreadful  events happen, you require an understanding of what this world is perfect for&#8211;your individual soul&#8217;s education and unraveling of negative karma.  There is no limit to how much evil you may experience in your short journey to the planet (85 per cent of the world consciousness is below integrity). There is only one way to eliminate these events and that would be to have collective enlightenment.  That is highly unlikely to happen any time soon.  Nothing can prevent someone (or more) from doing harm, if they are committed to doing so. Therefore, what you must do is look upon these things as the [karmic] course of life as it is on the planet now. Pray to The Divine for yours and others wisdom to understand the quintessence of eternity and your personal journey here. Keep in mind everything changes structure. Material things become something else and spirit lives on forever in a different form. Look upon life with wonder and thank God for your existence (with all its trials.)</p>
<p>Prayer &#8211;Thank you Lord for our journey. Allow us to feel the comfort of your Presence, especially at the most difficult of times. Please give us the understanding that this world is perfect for what it is. Forgive others their spiritual naiveté.<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong>Appreciation</strong></p>
<p>If we don’t feel that we are receiving from the Light indefinitely more than we are giving, then appreciation is an area we need to focus on in our spiritual work. We can also be certain that no matter how challenging this work may seem, the rewards are greater than we can possibly imagine. </p>
<p>When we are focused on what we don’t have we start losing appreciation. And when we lose appreciation we can also lose what we do have. </p>
<p>A person with a true desire for life has gratitude for what he has, yet he still craves more. We were meant to have it all. A person with authentic desire knows he has been given wonderful gifts, but he also knows they can disappear at any moment. He feels full and incomplete at the same time. </p>
<p>The lesson to remember is: </p>
<p>Our connection to ourselves, others, and ultimately to the Light of the Creator begins and ends with appreciation. </p>
<p>This is something we already know. I simply wish to remind you of the utter importance of constantly fighting to remain in gratitude. And make no mistake it is a struggle, because our natural instinct is to look for the negative. It takes effort to not compare ourselves with others, and to not feel lack. It’s easy to erupt in anger and self-pity resulting from jealousy or insecurity, but far more difficult to wage the internal battle against ego (which is the root cause of resentment, doubt, and you can fill in the rest.) </p>
<p>It’s not just that we should strive for appreciation of things and experiences. People who help us along the way are also channels for the Light. If we forget them, then we are cutting off our connection to the Source of all that is good in our life. Even if it was 20 years ago, it’s important to remember people who were there for us along our journey. When we are busy looking at the good others have done for us, our attention shifts away from what we don’t have. </p>
<p>All of us are blessed with various gifts. We need to take time to be grateful for these gifts, so they will remain with us. Through appreciation we can avoid feeling that we are missing out on something, thereby wasting or losing what we do have. The feeling of abundance creates more abundance. </p>
<p>This week, take a step back. Develop greater appreciation by imagining what life would be like if the things, people, qualities, abilities you do have were taken away. Every time you find yourself fixated on the glittering lives in the pages of People, or the shiny new toys your neighbor has, bring back your focus. Come back home to yourself, to your life, and look around. </p>
<p>What if these things and these people weren’t here tomorrow? How much would you miss them?</p>
<p>All the best,</p>
<p>Yehuda </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p> <strong>Appreciation </strong></p>
<p>If we don’t feel that we are receiving from the Light indefinitely more than we are giving, then appreciation is an area we need to focus on in our spiritual work. We can also be certain that no matter how challenging this work may seem, the rewards are greater than we can possibly imagine. </p>
<p>When we are focused on what we don’t have we start losing appreciation. And when we lose appreciation we can also lose what we do have. </p>
<p>A person with a true desire for life has gratitude for what he has, yet he still craves more. We were meant to have it all. A person with authentic desire knows he has been given wonderful gifts, but he also knows they can disappear at any moment. He feels full and incomplete at the same time. </p>
<p>The lesson to remember is: </p>
<p>Our connection to ourselves, others, and ultimately to the Light of the Creator begins and ends with appreciation. </p>
<p>This is something we already know. I simply wish to remind you of the utter importance of constantly fighting to remain in gratitude. And make no mistake it is a struggle, because our natural instinct is to look for the negative. It takes effort to not compare ourselves with others, and to not feel lack. It’s easy to erupt in anger and self-pity resulting from jealousy or insecurity, but far more difficult to wage the internal battle against ego (which is the root cause of resentment, doubt, and you can fill in the rest.) </p>
<p>It’s not just that we should strive for appreciation of things and experiences. People who help us along the way are also channels for the Light. If we forget them, then we are cutting off our connection to the Source of all that is good in our life. Even if it was 20 years ago, it’s important to remember people who were there for us along our journey. When we are busy looking at the good others have done for us, our attention shifts away from what we don’t have. </p>
<p>All of us are blessed with various gifts. We need to take time to be grateful for these gifts, so they will remain with us. Through appreciation we can avoid feeling that we are missing out on something, thereby wasting or losing what we do have. The feeling of abundance creates more abundance. </p>
<p>This week, take a step back. Develop greater appreciation by imagining what life would be like if the things, people, qualities, abilities you do have were taken away. Every time you find yourself fixated on the glittering lives in the pages of People, or the shiny new toys your neighbor has, bring back your focus. Come back home to yourself, to your life, and look around. </p>
<p>What if these things and these people weren’t here tomorrow? How much would you miss them?</p>
<p>All the best,<br />
Yehuda </p>
