What is a Spiritual Journey?
By Expert Author: Ng Chee Teng
When we speak of a spiritual journey, the common understanding is that human beings are on a journey to seek God somewhere out there in the heavens and that they are trying to reach a destination or place such as heavens or a higher realm.
Perhaps many have got it in reverse?
While we cannot comprehend the magnificence of our soul as human beings, try imagining putting yourself in the shoes of your higher self - your soul - in the realm that we call Spirit.
Fly with me.
Visualize the brilliance, unconditional love, powers and grandness of the angel that has your face on it. You have unlimited potentials. You are pure consciousness and light. You simply need to hold your thoughts on something and you would manifest it in an instant. Transcending time and space, you swim in the sea of consciousness and explore the infinite universes with the ease of a seasoned captain steering his ship.
You are a part of the God energy. You are in oneness with the God family that comprises of all other souls, energies and everything that exists and yet to be.
Somewhere in the now moment and in your exploration of the infinite universes and dimensions, you stumbled upon a most sacred and mysterious place called Earth and you paused for a moment, wondering what this most beautiful planet is all about.
You see billions of other souls walking on the surface, wandering on this blue planet in search of something, pretending that they are lost.
There would be many obstacles known as "fears" and you know the hardest of them all would be to conquer separation - to see the God in other players.
You stopped and asked the guardians of this planet, "What is this place? What are they doing?"
The guardians send the answers in thoughts to you and you immediately have an "Aha" moment. You get an epiphany of what this exciting project is all about and you already know that you want to be a part of it. You have played in many realms and planets but there is nothing like Earth.
Rolling up your sleeves, you agree to put on a veil and forget your own divinity. Classified as a journey because it has the elements of time and space, you are keenly aware of its difficult challenges as you have been used to an existence without these elements.
It has other rules like duality, birth, death, karma and reincarnation. There would be many obstacles known as "fears" and you know the hardest of them all would be to conquer separation - to see the God in other players. It would feel very real and promise the most intense of emotions. Still wearing the shoes of your higher self, you are without fears and feel very brave in taking on this game. You also know it is but a short excursion given the eternity of your soul.
What are the objectives and rewards of this game? We could perhaps say it is about applying your knowledge, going through the experiences and collecting the wisdoms that will push the evolution of your soul and everything forward. We could also say that it is about experiencing contrasts so that you would know light from dark, love from fear and compassion from judgement. But there is really no whys. You do it simply because you could. We could say your curiosity got the better of you. You wanted to know yourself better by experiencing what you are not.
It also does not matter what choices are made. There are no wrong choices, only different consequences and experiences. Each consequence is simply another experience and they all add to your wisdom bank that in turn expands the magnificence of your soul and all that is.
In oneness, all the souls have the knowledge of all others. Being interconnected with the sea of consciousness, we know everything there is to know in all that is. However, not every soul has the direct experiences. You have watched your friends engaged in various activities on planet Earth and like watching movies, you can understand what they are doing as well.
However, there is no substitute for the direct experiences. For instance, you may know all the rules of football and how to play it. You may even know the various strategies. Nevertheless, you could not partake in the essence of the game itself and how it really feels like to be out there in the field - the joys of winning, pains of being tackled and the disappointments of losing.
As a new member of project Earth, you wonder excitingly about all the possibilities ahead. While waiting patiently in the queue for your turn, you started chatting with other souls.
You learn that one soul was a mother in an incarnation and she reminisces how beautiful her children were and the immense satisfaction she had from seeing them grow up. Another soul behind you shares with you the passion she felt in being a part of a symphony orchestra and you can only imagine the splendors of the concerts she had played in. Another soul recounts the warmth and gratitude he felt when another soul gave him food and shelter during a disaster. This time round, he is going to be wealthy and he would repay kindness to that soul.
In this game, you have guides - experienced and graduated players - to assist you in case you get very lost in the complex journey. Together with them, you plot various scenarios of your incarnation and choose your gender, birthplace, race, parents, friends, life partner, children and many other aspects.
As you make plans to meet various souls who will play different roles in your life, you mull over the various ways you could meet and also promise to forgive each other if the game gets too difficult.
Once in a while, a soul will hesitate in playing a difficult role that could possibly hurt or harm you. "It's too much! I can't do this." They protested. Fearlessly, you reassure them that they are loved dearly and you need them to play the villains in order to help you learn. Out of unconditional love, they finally agree to these challenging tasks and you bid your temporary farewells.
After some last minute plannings, it is time to say goodbye and put on the veil. After adding layers of dross-like energies to your pure light body, you buckle up your earth space suit, step forward and signal that you are ready.
Then with an extremely strong magnetic pull, you find yourself drawn towards the gravity of planet Earth in a flash.
Total silence... Total darkness... Amnesia has already set in...
"Who am I and where am I?"
You could barely open your baby eyes as you catch a glimpse of several strange faces.
One day, after many trials and tribulations, you will once again rediscover your identity. You would learn that you are already divine, a master and perfect as you are. You are the human expression of the divine energy. And this journey through time and space known as life is your spiritual journey, your pilgrimage. Every moment of it is treasured as a unique and useful experience. Every choice adds to the definition of who you want to be and the wisdom gained from this spiritual journey priceless and forever a part of you.
There is no destination. We could say we are returning to home if we really want to put a destination to this journey. Home has always been around and we are but on a brief excursion to planet Earth. The journey is really all it matters here.
So perhaps, my friends, could this be our real spiritual journey? And if so, every one of us is already embarking on it regardless if we are aware.
Be joyous!

Personality Defect Removal - As Spiritual Practice
Personality Defect Removal - As Spiritual Practice
By Expert Author: Sean M. Clarke
Introduction to personality defect removal
The personality defects in a person are responsible for unhappiness, whereas his qualities are responsible for happiness and contentment.
In order to lead a happy life with a sense of permanent safety ad stability and for effective spiritual practice it is essential that the personality defects in an individual are destroyed and qualities are imbibed or developed. Personality defects are the main obstacle in obtaining/experiencing happiness or contentment in one’s life.
What is personality?
While performing any action, when repeatedly same impressions in the sub-conscious mind keep surfacing, they are called as ‘personality’. In short, personality means person’s nature. In many individuals, the occurrence of this happens so often that one can classify it as qualities or defects.
What are personality qualities and defects?
Generally, good impressions/habits are called personality qualities and bad impressions/habits are called personality defects. Due to a certain personality aspect, either that individual or another person suffers as a result of his actions. In that case, this is known as that person’s personality defect. In this article we will focus more on the removal of personality defects than imbibing qualities as they create hurdles in our progress both worldly and spiritually.
Our actions and reactions are dependant on our impressions/habits in our subconscious mind which constitutes our personality. Due to improper actions and reactions, either we face problems or we give problems to others. Therefore, one should pay attention to our actions and reactions in minute detail constantly. Only when we become aware of our shortcomings, we can make a step ahead to accept them, rectify them and improve our personality.
The importance of removal of personality defects as spiritual practice
The process of removing personality defects from the perspective that they are an impediment in one’s spiritual growth is known as ‘the process of removing personality defects as spiritual practice’. We all know that a drop of oil cannot merge completely in water. This is because the characteristics of both are very different to each other. So also to achieve the pinnacle of spiritual growth that is God-realisation or merging with God, we need to remove all our personality defects. This is because God has no defects.

What Are Your Intentions of a Decision?
What Are Your Intentions of a Decision?
By Expert Author: Ng Chee Teng
Recently, a theme keeps coming back to me: What are Your Intentions?
Many metaphysics teachers have taught that there is nothing right or wrong to our higher selves. Our souls crave for all experiences and there is no judgement in whatever decisions we make. For example, a friend recently asked me which job offer he should take up. I asked him to feel which job he is more inclined to take up. Which one feels better to him. But the point here is, no matter which job he takes up in the end, it is just a different kind of experience. If he becomes a salesman, he will experience a life that requires him to travel quite a bit, meeting many people. If he takes up a desk-bound job, then his life will probably revolve around the office and getting to know his colleagues much better. One could be less desirable but nonetheless still an experience for the soul. No experience is wasted. You could even say that a "bad" choice helps you make a better one next time and that seemingly "bad" choice is useful too.
You could even say that a "bad" choice helps you make a better one next time and that seemingly "bad" choice is useful too.
As human beings, one of the greatest gifts given to us is probably our free will. Yet, with this great gift comes great responsibility. We are "forced" to make decisions at all times. Important or trivial. Should I get married or break up? Do I accept the invitation to go to a party or do I stay at home for the weekend? Do I stand up and move somewhere or do I continue to sit on the chair? Even the choice to do nothing is still a decision. Besides, if you do not want to make a decision, you simply made a decision to follow others. That is still a choice by itself. We are all learning to be Creator-Gods and if one can imagine, how many choices a God needs to make.
Since we have to make decisions all the time, how then do we make one? Is there a guide or method to help us make decisions? Personally, I feel that it is all about our intentions behind the decision that matters.
Take this magazine for example. When Maitreya suggested through Margaret McElroy for us to create an online magazine, why did Lee and I decide to go ahead and do it? What is our intention? Is it because we are afraid that we will be reprimanded by "higher forces" in the spiritual realm if we do not follow instructions? Is it because we are worried that our souls will regret not doing it when we review our lives? Is it because we want to save the world? Is it because we thought we found the answer to life and we want to impose this on others? The answer is no. I cannot speak for Lee here but my personal intention is simply to spread the love and empower people to become the person she or he wants to be by lighting up their paths and showing them their options. We put up content that we enjoy ourselves and that which feels right and then we publish and share them with you so that you can then decide for yourself what is good for you.
That is my intention and I feel strongly that Lee shares the same thinking. Most people on conscious spiritual paths, I believe, will come to a point when they realise that they get their joy by being of service to others. It is a bit of a cliche to say this, but since we are all aspects of the One, we are really serving ourselves in the end.
Hence, I would like to share this with you. Think about your intentions the next time you have to make a choice (which is actually all the time). What is your intention?
Think about your romantic relationships. Before you make the phone call to your partner, ask yourself what is your intention? Are you just calling to find out where he is because you do not trust him? Or are you calling just to show that you think of him? To let him know that he is loved and thought of.
Think about saying something to someone. The person may not like what you say, so should you just keep your mouth shut? What is your intention here? Are you trying to impose your truths on others? Do you feel strongly that the other person should follow your idea or your way? Or are you simply trying to speak your own truth and give your own opinion in a quiet and gentle manner without any attachment to how the other person will use it?
Because if you have made the decisions with the intentions in alignment with your higher self, then you are much less likely to regret making the choice and it will usually (if not always) feel good.
Think about shopping. What is your intention? Do you really need that beautiful dress or shoe? You are already pretty if you make up your mind that you are. Not that owning a beautiful dress is "wrong", but what is your intention here. I would say buy it if you feel you are deserving and worthy. Or are you buying it because you are bored and getting a new dress seems like a good distraction? Do you really need that latest electronic gadget with those amazing features? Perhaps it will make your work more productive. Or is it because the gadget makes you feel better about yourself because the others don't have it yet.
Think about tithing. If you give because you want to help the organisation in its humanitarian projects or keep the financial energy flowing in your life, then do it. But if your intention is to bribe God or keep God happy or to avoid hell or because everyone else is doing it, then you ought to rethink about it.
Think about that holiday trip you are not so sure of going. What is your intention? Do you badly need a break to rejuvenate yourself? Do you need some time off your usual routine and do something that excites you and for yourself? If you choose not to make the trip, why? Is it because you are not so sure if the money is worth spending? What makes you think that you may have the time later when the money is there?
These are just some scenarios and there is really no right or wrong in any decisions. Neither am I suggesting that it is easy to make choices. I am suggesting that it is all about your intentions that matter. Why? Because if you have made the decisions with the intentions in alignment with your higher self, then you are much less likely to regret making the choice and it will usually (if not always) feel good. I also have a deep feeling that the universe, your soul and helpers will go all out to support you in your choices when the intention is in line with the desires of your soul. Your soul knows that it is divine, it is worthy and perfect as it is.
Well, I know that we would not regret creating this magazine. How about you in your choices?

Using the Power of the Present Moment to Change Limiting Beliefs
Using the Power of the Present Moment to Change Limiting Beliefs
By Expert Author: Tracy Swartz
There's no time like the present! You’ve heard that before. Do you know how to live it? What does that mean?
Most of us live inside our heads. We are thinking about the past or dreaming about the future. Rarely do we take time to fully appreciate the present moment.
Stop and think about it. The present is all we have. The past is done and gone. The future is being written in the present. We spend our lives looking forward down the road to the destination. We only look up for a moment to see if we have “arrived”.
And you’ve heard this one before. Life is a journey, not a destination. Have you ever been on a long car trip and fully appreciated the scenery as you move from point a to point b? I’m always amazed at the wonderful things I see on a fifteen-hour trip from Ohio to New Hampshire.
Or are you the type of person who asks, “Are we there yet?”
Being full present will change your limiting beliefs. Here's how to utilize the present moment:
THE BREATH
We take breathing for granted. It’s something we “do” on autopilot. We seem to only notice it when we are “out of breath”. Consciously using your breath will revitalize you and stop the mind chatter.
Take a deep breath in. As you do this, notice how it feels. What does the air feel like as it moves through your nostrils? Is it cold? Is it warm? How do your lungs feel as they expand and fill? Notice any sensations you feel as you hold that breath in for a moment.
Slowly let the air out. How does it taste? How does it feel as it moves out your mouth? Completely immerse yourself in the sensations of breath.
A small voice in your head may start to sputter and complain that this is silly. It says that because for just a moment you quieted your mind. You’ve created a space between you and your mind chatter.
THE FIVE SENSES
Most of us live on autopilot, trusting our five senses for input on our surroundings. Our mind computes and interprets that data into pictures or words. We create an association with our data. What if you used your five senses to fully experience what you see, hear, taste, touch and smell without trying to identify it?
Outdoors
Sit or lay in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and a few deep breaths to relax. The next step is to use each sense, one at a time. For example let’s start with touch. Notice how the air feels on your skin. Is it cool? Is it warm? Does it tickle or fluff your hair. Fully enjoy the experience of it. Put your attention upon your ears. Listen with the right ear only. Next listen to the sounds coming in through your left ear. Now listen with both. As you hear the noises do not try to label them. Notice how they sound. It’s similar to picking out individual instruments in an orchestra! Open your eyes. Look as far as you can in the distance. Look up and all around you without labeling anything.
Indoors
Sit or lay in a comfortable position. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths to relax. Notice your body as a whole unit. Now ask yourself if you have hands. How do you know you have hands? Notice the sensations when you put your attention upon your hands. Move your attention to each area of your body, arms, shoulders, neck, head, torso, legs, thighs, etc. It doesn’t matter if you can’t feel each section. Once you’ve moved through each section of your body, try to feel the whole body at once.
STOP MULTI-TASKING
As a society we have been conditioned to multi-task. What we lose when we multi-task is our ability to focus completely on one thing. We are continually thinking about the next thing that has to be done and how to juggle that with something else needing our attention. Use your five senses to immerse yourself in one task at a time. Doing the dishes? Feel the suds on your skin. Play in the water. Notice the smell of dish soap. A normally mundane chore becomes a meditative and pleasant experience.
Even when you’re at work, you can tune in and immerse yourself in whatever it is you are doing. Stop and pay attention by utilizing the five senses.
The above suggestions can be done anytime and pretty much anywhere. They can be used as a set meditation time or used as a “check-in” during the day to quiet the chatter.
Our present moment is a precious gift and requires our attention to fully utilize its power. Accessing this power opens you up to new ideas, creative solutions to problems, changes limiting beliefs and gives you a sense of peace in a seemingly crazy world.
Take a moment and open your present right here, right now.

What Happens To Suicide Cases After Death?
What Happens To Suicide Cases After Death?
By Expert Author: Sean M. Clarke
Is it a single place or are there a variety of places? If so, what are the factors that decide where a particular person will go to after death? In this article, we present the answer to the question on what happens to suicide cases after death. The answer is obtained through spiritual research done by seekers of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) with highly developed sixth sense (ESP).
The places a person may go after death
When a person dies the physical body ceases to exist. However, the rest of his existence or consciousness continues. The person minus the physical body is known as the subtle body and it comprises of the mental, causal (intellect) and supracausal bodies (subtle ego).
The various planes of existence
There are 14 main planes of existence in the Universe. Seven of them are positive planes and seven are negative planes. The seven negative regions are commonly known as Hell. There are numerous sub-planes within these main planes of existence.
The human subtle body after death goes to one of the 13 planes of existence other than the Earth plane.
What happens to suicide cases after death?
There are two types of death with regards to its timing.
• Destined final death: This is the time of death no one can escape.
• Possible death: This is where a person can possibly die. Each person may undergo a possible death wherein one comes close to death but is saved due to his or her merits. In cases where a person is going through insurmountable crisis in his life or has severe personality disorders, he may think, in depression, of committing suicide. Ghosts (demons, devils, spirits, etc.) also fuel the depression of a suicidal person and sometimes are instrumental in pushing a person over the edge into committing suicide. However, suicide remains a willful act that happens when a person is going through a possible death phase as per their destiny.
The gift of life on the Earth plane is precious and is given to us primarily for spiritual growth. By committing suicide, we squander away this opportunity and become eligible for punishment. The consequences are that a person committing suicide goes to the Narak part of the 7th region of Hell for a period of 60,000 Earth years. It is a place that is without any light; something like solitary confinement in a prison. The extent of punishment/pain to be endured in the various regions of Hell regions and their associated Narak goes on increasing with the subsequent region of Hell. Also, the period of punishment to be endured in each Narak is in excess compared to the corresponding region of Hell. If we consider the punishment in first region of Hell as 100%, then the punishment in the corresponding first Narak region is 50% more, i.e. 150%. As there is nobody in that Narak region to advise about spiritual practice, the subtle body in this region remains in the darkness of spiritual ignorance.
Conclusion
• Committing suicide is a grave sin and punishment is extremely severe so it is advisable to realise the value of human birth and undertake spiritual practice.
• Once we go to the lower regions such as the Nether region or Hell, we stay there and experience severe unhappiness for centuries until we completely pay for our sins by suffering the intense punishments meted there and get a chance to be reborn on Earth.
• To do consistent spiritual practice on the Earth plane according to the 5 basic laws of spiritual practice is like swimming against the tide in the current era. However, it is also a guaranteed way of advancing to higher realms of existence after physical death.

Is it a single place or are there a variety of places? If so, what are the factors that decide where a particular person will go to after death? In this article, we present the answer to the question on what happens to suicide cases after death. The answer is obtained through spiritual research done by seekers of the Spiritual Science Research Foundation (SSRF) with highly developed sixth sense (ESP).
The places a person may go after death
When a person dies the physical body ceases to exist. However, the rest of his existence or consciousness continues. The person minus the physical body is known as the subtle body and it comprises of the mental, causal (intellect) and supracausal bodies (subtle ego).
The various planes of existence
There are 14 main planes of existence in the Universe. Seven of them are positive planes and seven are negative planes. The seven negative regions are commonly known as Hell. There are numerous sub-planes within these main planes of existence.
The human subtle body after death goes to one of the 13 planes of existence other than the Earth plane.
What happens to suicide cases after death?
There are two types of death with regards to its timing.
• Destined final death: This is the time of death no one can escape.
• Possible death: This is where a person can possibly die. Each person may undergo a possible death wherein one comes close to death but is saved due to his or her merits. In cases where a person is going through insurmountable crisis in his life or has severe personality disorders, he may think, in depression, of committing suicide. Ghosts (demons, devils, spirits, etc.) also fuel the depression of a suicidal person and sometimes are instrumental in pushing a person over the edge into committing suicide. However, suicide remains a willful act that happens when a person is going through a possible death phase as per their destiny.

I Am Alive And Well
I Am Alive And Well
By Expert Author: Roy Klienwachter
Did you watch the show "Short Circuit?" It was about a robot created for the military to seek and destroy. Something happened to the robot; some circuits shorted out and it became aware of its existence; it became sentient. The robot which was the 5th robot is a series, gave itself a name and declared throughout the movie that "Number Five is Alive."
To discover that one is alive and to know it, is a unique feeling. It happens to us almost every day. Someone walks bye you and says Hi (Roy) and you feel something. You feel life; it is an indescribable feeling. Another walks bye and says "Roy I read your book;" it is recognition of being alive. They don't have to say whether they liked the book or not, just that they recognized you. They are saying Roy, "I recognize that you are alive" and any comment that may follow is of less importance.
You're in a crowd and someone yells out your name; your heart beats faster and you are filled with anticipation or trepidation. Someone may have recognized you and your spirit once again is reminded that it is connected to another part of itself. Life longs to be recognized. It is like the left arm searching for the right so that it may join again as one.
There is a wonderful story in the "Chicken Soup for the Soul" books; it's called "A simple Gesture" and you can find it in the first book of the series. It is a story of how a small gesture of recognition that saved the life of a young school boy who was on his way home to kill himself.
A simple look or glance at someone can send a message of recognition to another and the message will be received; "you are alive and not alone," it is the handshake, the pat one the shoulder, the wink of recognition that stirs the spirit and reminds it of its journey.
Have you even stood with friends and they are busy talking to each other and they have left you out of their conversation? They gaze right through you as though you were not even there. Have you ever stood in a line and someone butts in front of you, and they may sorry, I didn't see you after you said something to them. How does it feel when you are there and no one sees you or hears you?
To ignore someone is the most hurtful thing you can do to anyone; your friend or enemy. It pisses them off and it hurts; it cuts right through to the spirit. Life cannot be ignored and will always find a way to be recognized; many times in almost equally hurtful ways.
This sadly enough happens in many long term relationships. Partners are so used to having each other around that they forget the other one is alive. It is a killer, and a very cruel and hurtful way of being buried alive. Many people will stay in abusive relationships just for the sake of being recognized as alive, no matter how bad the relationship is; at least the abusive partner knows the other one is alive.
This may sound sick to an unenlightened mind; however, it is what life wants. That is why you are here in this physical life. You are here to experience all aspects of a live being and experiencing everything physical. Because in truth there is only one life, not the individualized lives your ego knows; life tries to find itself in all its experiences. Everything is life, whether you call it animate, inanimate, and sentient or not; you will find life in all things. Life cannot deny itself. So when life meets itself it begins to know itself as one thing or the other.
"I AM" is life itself, anything that comes after that is the experience of life. Women often complain about their spouses not recognizing them. Many women have said that there is one thing they long to hear the most; it is the sound of their name. All the endearments or titles they have directed towards them every day cannot compare to the sound of someone calling their name. "I AM" is like that also. Its only desire is to look at you and recognize itself as looking back at itself. I am here and I am there. There is only me and you and we are the same life. Like being in a foreign land, and after an extended period of time, you would love for someone from home to come into your life and say your name. It's extraordinary that even someone you don't particularly like, will all of a sudden become a friend in a foreign place, and it is only because he has reaffirmed your existence and at a very basic and meaningful level of your being - your spirit.
As far fetched as this may sound, it has been the experience of most people. Next time someone says hello to you, waves to you, smiles or taps you on the shoulder, get in touch with your feelings for a second. Try and recognize what you are feeling in the moment; you will with practice be able to identify with the hidden message - "I am alive."
Some may say, well, I know I am alive, I can see myself, I can feel my body or I am in extreme pain, and people are trying to kill me or they are making demands of me; I am very much here and alive - I don't need anyone to tell me I'm alive.
That is a different kind of recognition and it is superficial and ego oriented; it is the results of, or experience of being alive. What you are feeling in the slit second that you are recognized, is your connection to all things and the God or creator that you wish to know. You are once again reaffirmed of your omnipotence and immortality as a spiritual being - being human.
When life recognizes life, it creates joyfulness in the awareness of the ego that is expressed physically. From the greater perspective when you can see that both hands are working together to create what you want, there is less urgency and doubt about your life's purpose. Life is no longer a struggle. It does not excuse you from participating in your life cycle; it just makes it easier, and the fear that you have known throughout your life disappears.
"I am alive and well" no matter what your present circumstances empowers you to change your circumstances. If you are alive and well in Rome, you can change your experience of Rome. If you are alive and well in a relationship, you are empowered to change the experience of that relationship. Acknowledgement of being life in the physical experience empowers you to use all aspects of what life has to offer. You are not what you think you are; you are life itself experiencing what you think you are.

What Comes After The End
What Comes After The End
By Expert Author: Roy Klienwachter
A new beginning always comes after an ending. We are on the threshold of a new awareness in human evolution. All the periods we have gone through have brought us to this place in time. Currently we are experiencing the ending of religion and the industrial revolution. They have taken us as far as they can.
We were taken in by the promise of peace on earth, good will to man, more leisure time to spend in relationships, recreation, and learning. None of these promises have been realized and it is obvious that neither of these systems will take us there. They have brought us to the precipice where it's time to change direction or take the final leap.
A box that is built from the outside-in can take you nowhere; because there is nowhere to go. Every box eventually runs out of energy; and for those who have built the box and gathered together the people in it; their last words of denial will fade as the box is emptied and collapses in on itself.
Four thousand years of religion gave people hope for a better future. But it has failed because it is based on promises not action or something observable, and it is controlled by those who would benefit the most. It was built into a very tight box that gave no room for growth, and eternal damnation for those who apposed. Religion was never designed for intellectual people. It was sold through fear, because its promises could not be manifested or observed in this world. This life is the time and place where any belief system needs to prove itself. This is where the benefits need to be realized. We are spirit having a physical experience. We are not here to be spiritual, and this is where it all counts; where it's needed the most.
A few hundred years of industrialization has enslaved humanity in the pursuit of buying what they have built, with little time to enjoy the benefits of the machine. It is the machines who are enjoying the benefits as they interact with each other, while we humans slave away to support them. It, like religion was sold to us. The promise of more free time and less labour has not materialized. The collapse of world markets and the monetary system is inevitable. In the game of monopoly, the objective is to own it all and along with that goes the bank. It is a dead end road. If one owns all the money it becomes worthless and there is no one to play with. Money only has value when it is spent. It is another box that is doomed from the beginning.
The only worthwhile box is one with a door and a window. An open system brings in new life, energy, and there is continuing growth. Take out the door and window and life is absorbed by the darkness. Every step must lead to the next and the path must be clear. Every idea must die and be replaced by another. It is what we do; we are creators and there is no other purpose for our being. We are either creators or victims, but even in our victimhood we are creators of a greater picture of which we are willing supporters. We die when the idea dies unless we are willing to see through the window and walk through the door before the idea has run its course.
Has it not occurred to you that humanity moves very slowly in physical time and space? For thousands of years we have lived very simply. Up until just over 100 years ago, we lived primitively; using crude tools, using fire to light out homes and streets. We rode horses and used parchments or other people to communicate our thoughts to the rest of the world.
What happened in the last 100 years, where did all this new technology come from? How did man become so smart so quickly? There are people still living on dirt floors and drinking water from polluted streams with no light in their huts. At the same time and space there are people watching TV, flying in space ships, and using computers to communicate with each other and their machines. Have you noticed that something is happening, and happening very quickly? Are you not the least curious? Do you know why this is happening?
There are thousands of people who are feeling the change. Is it just coincidence that in this same time frame there have been intuitives, artists, and writers who have noticed these changes? Are they alarmists or is there something to what they have to say. The change is real and it is observable; so something is different whether we choose to accept it or not.
The world is changing and we hear that all the time. But what does that mean and who is driving that change, and where is it all going?
It simply means that the dinosaurs are dying off. Those who would not change will be no more. Those who have a vision for the future will be part of the change. The world is changing because people's thoughts are changing. It is not God or anything outside of ourselves that will create the new world. The world is the way it is now because of our thoughts and how we imagine it. Imagination is the inspiration for change. At some time we imagined the world as round with other continents and people and we demonstrated that. At sometime we imagined that we would sail into the skies and we created the ability to do that. We imagined other worlds and travelling into space and we are doing that.
Our thoughts about whom and what we are in relation to our environment brings about changes in it. We are creators; that is our sole purpose for being. If you insist on thinking so, then it was God who gave us this power. He gave us dominion over the earth and its beasts. However, in an enlightened state we know that we and God are the same thing; we are God having a physical experience.
In this state of change it will be the enlightened ones who determine our next step in evolution. It will be you and I who have imagined a better world, who will create it. It will be a world that is based on what works and what does not work; not right and wrong, good or bad. It will be created not by our five senses alone, but by our psychic abilities as well. In the new world there will be no need for the things we used in the past. We will have greater awareness of our own ability to create on demand what we want and what we want to experience. This world will have no need for money, conflict or war. There will be a higher regard for our environment, and no need to horde abundance as what we want will be created on demand by ourselves, by using our creative abilities to manifest it.
All these things are possible and within our present ability to create them; unless you think not. And if you belief not; you will experience not.
Imagine your world; think about what you want to experience. Be creative and intelligent about what you really, really, really want. It is those who can do this; who will be part of it. Every one of us already know what we want. It is the bottom line, the root of our desires that will create them. Is it happiness, security and freedom or is it things, guns and parent figures which we now have that we think we want to bring with us? Those must all be left behind; it is what we already have experienced that we want to move past. Old ideas will not build a new future.
This life is only one of many that you have already experienced and will be your step into a new future that you will also experience. Why not imagine it in your mind now. You are part of a process that creates worlds and universes. The world is the way it is now, because you are part of it. Take away one ingredient out of a recipe and it becomes something else. Every time someone dies or is born the world changes. You can change the future by changing the past. Imagine the future then return to the past to create it.
You are not as insignificant as you may think you are. Presently there are 6 billions minds experiencing the earth in 6 billion different ways. Your future will be likewise. Create your world now; don't wait for someone to give it to you. New experiences cannot be created using old thoughts. Move out of the box. Plan your creation, and have it ready for you when you return and are prepared to move in.
Your time has run out. Think about what has happened over the last 100 years; things are moving quickly now. You must prepare using a different thought about whom and what you are. You are God; how would you create your new world. If it is lasting happiness that we all want, then how would we demonstrate that happiness? Be intelligent about it; for instance we know that wanting money and getting it, does not bring us happiness. We may get it under unhappy circumstances and may not live to enjoy it. Think about what you really want; the money or the happiness.
Remember the words of Albert Einstein "You cannot solve any problem in the same state of consciousness in which it was created."
