Dear ones, to engage your spirits in peacefulness, you must touch your essence. This state of being is reached when you meditate or spend quiet time in nature. Each

of you knows instinctively what nurtures your soul and what does not. the soul can become calloused or wounded in such a way that it nearly gives up. Many who

walk the earth are in a state of soulful despair. Ones motive cannot easily be healed, if one continuously stays in situations that demoralize the soul. Karmic debt can

be turned around if one is willing to surrender what does not uplift the spirit. Always ask your innate spirit for help. When there is the willingness to shift your

consciousness and you are sincere about making change, you situation will change. Some choose to create deepest despair, before choosing to shift into positive

change. Take note of your surroundings, are they harmonious to the spirit? These are the things that can be shifted by adjusting your thoughts and reactions. If

something or someone irritates you, look at that, and learn to see from a different angle. Perhaps you can recognize the humor in some of these situations. You can

never change another person, you can only change your perception of what is presented to you. If you choose to see life as a game, then these things are just

challenges to the being to shift its perspective from dislike to a neutral and balanced state of perceiving. Your choice is to see beyond the limitations of the body/ego,

so you can understand what is really being communicated. Many who lash out and blame are only reaching out for help. If you respond in kind, it only inflates the

situation. Try kindness and understanding, this alone will help one to realize there is another way to approach lifes situations. This requires a constant state of

awareness. Do not let busyness be an excuse. Life is an ever constant uplifting of consciousness but it takes persistence and willingness for change. Eventually it will

become second nature, and you will find your situations increasingly balanced and nurturing. It is your decision to climb out of the rut and renew your path to a

knowing of what is true and uplifting to the soul. There is always the counterfeit way way of approaching life and it is learned from an early age. It is not truth, and it

will only dig you deeper into illusion. Your hearts are strong and each of you are up to the challenge of overcoming the false. Many of you are here to show the way

for the masses. It is time to take the torch, and be that light, which leads to infinite life. Babaji

Yes, because it sounds so much like the latter has nothing to do with the former!

All delusion is in thoughts and emotions of the mind. In the silent presence there are neither, but the presence of whole being beyond the mind.

Truth isn't a sensory perception - it must involve thought of some kind.

This is not something one can 'do' but it may be discovered.

How inconvenient for everything except your ego.

Yes, it's not a sensory perception, nor is it thought or emotion... surprisingly.

Well, it's not the ego-mind that discovers it... it happens in awareness beyond the conceptual, identifying mind.

Ahh, wonderful reminder - Jesus calls it a hardened heart, yes.

And we are all wounded to some degree. It is admitting it, then taking the steps to heal.

I'll say it again: perception of truth must involve thought of some kind.

[Xan]

Why must it?


Xan

Because when you receive information, if it is going to enlighten you, you must respond to it. You must decide what to do with it... and that involves thought.

On a purely practical level, if there's no neural processing going on in someone's head, we declare them dead.

[Xan]

ahhh... but enlightenment is not from information.

It's entirely experiential and without thought and can't be arrived at through mental processes.

Brain wave studies show patterns in the low Theta range with those in deep meditation, experiencing silent awareness.

Dear ones, as your devotion increases toward all in self, you will begin to recognize the divine in all substance. To regard all you understand as matter, in the terms of

divine, takes a leap in consciousness. Your hearts awaken to greater purpose and your lives will reflect that. Opportunities for greater growth in the way of books,

people and situations increase when your mind becomes one pointed. This will ever escalate until you know without doubt that you are being propelled forward with

greater intensity. When you have shown a sincerity that cannot any longer be denied, the cosmos becomes your greatest asset as it assists in every manner, to draw

you to divine source. The spiral widens and you will begin to have a greater effect on you surroundings and with the people you have the most contact with. But on a

greater level you are also affecting everything around you and as your vibration increases, a circle of light will ever surround your being and it will increasingly touch all

substance in your field. Light attracts light, dear ones, this becomes like a tractor that pulls you ever closer to your goal. At this point there is no turning back, you are

pulled deeper into the substrate of light. As sacred rituals have been passed down through the ages to adepts on the path, you will be attracted to these aids to

enlightenment. Let your spirits unfold as you gain greater wisdom. Remember dear ones, there is no time, yet your opportunities to bypass suffering are ever at your

doorstep just waiting for you to take up the yoke and move in the direction of perfection. We are ever watchful of those who make this decision and we are here to

assist in all manner, those who show a willingness to master their lives. If you hesitate out of fear dear ones, we will help you to overcome. That first step is your

alone to take. May peace fill your ever expanding hearts. Babaji
