At The First Awakening of My Soul

When we first awaken into spirit, one eye opens and then it sees.  It sees pain, it sees happiness, it sees injustice and fairness, it sees good fortune and bad, and for a period of time what it sees is overwhelming. Each of us comes with a built in remedy; this onboard system is designed to cushion the load of First Sight.  It’s called the Ego. 

The Ego:

o       has a job.

o       defines everything for us.

o       fits things into slots.

o       claims to understand things, that if you really think about it, aren't really so understandable. Note, we feel safer when we think we understand something. 

o       sets up our belief and disbelief systems.  They are separate systems and the latter is probably more powerful then the first.

o       sets out how we can get those childhood dependency needs met—the needs that in a perfect world would have been met in childhood—  away back when we were supposed to be properly dependent upon properly dependable people. 

o       becomes our sword and shield.

Over time as the Ego evolves it generally sets into motion a series of events or a set of circumstances that bring us back to our unfinished spiritual business.  It does this because it believes it Knows, and this appearing to Know seems to be accidental. This is referred to as the coincidence of Karma.

On Even Days --- On ODD DAYS

On Even Days consider the following using the guidelines that are suggested.

·                    So why do I do what I do?

·                    Now as I consider why it is that I do what I do ...

 Know This!

·                    Every step toward understanding why I do what I do loosens the grip of my conditioned experience(s) and its resultant fear, has on my consciousness. 

·                    With each new insight, I will gain a glimpse of what creation really is. 

·                    Each glimpse increases my creative power until the balance between my mind and my ego is tipped in favour of my mind. 

·                    When that happens, progress is rapid indeed.

On ODD DAYS take your consideration to Three Axioms ... Two Observations With Actions ... And a Hint ...

Three Axioms ...

·                    Before you can be willing to allow the forgiveness of yourself or of others, you must identify the purpose their guilt or anger serves for you and the reasons why you believe it is in your best interest to maintain this vision. 

·                    Before you can be willing to forgive the world, you must become aware of the reasons you believe it is to your advantage to think of it as a dangerous place to be. 

·                    And, before you can enjoy unlimited abundance, you must see why you believe it serves you to think of creation as limited.

Two Observations With Actions ...

·                    When you notice the Ego’s demands ... refuse to act on them ...

·                    Know this, those demands will become louder and more specific ...  still refuse to act on them. 

And a Hint ...

·                    When you begin to see the beliefs behind the ego’s demands, you may be willing to give them over to the Spirit for healing.
