Guest guest Posted June 17, 1999 Report Share Posted June 17, 1999 Hi Joan, Nice sharing bringing up a lot. What we think and hold as true is what we create however, in learning of how the personality/lower self works, then you begin to transcend karma or as you put fate. As long as one is lost in the involvement as the doer, and is just in action/reaction, it is like a machine that does nothing but produce thoughts, desires, fantasies, fears, etc. This is a long process of self creation so that karma is naturally just waving in and out. When the individual begins to recognize and can actually see how he/she has created a situation, the light comes on and the beginning of the end of this stage has started. It is a stage of the process really. Not good or bad but just a natural evolving stage. Then the individual comes to recognize a higher power, a creator, God, that higher knowing of the Self begins to move. One looks out side at this for a time and then slowly the realization comes about that it isn't outside at all but rather inside and actually has a interior room as it were inside in the heart. This heart is where you directly experience will...my will...and thy will... and then all of the process of how this works starts to unfold. And what it all means. This is again another process. At some point realization is going to take hold, one is going to understand the basics and also understand that there is creation brought on my those lower centers, thoughts and desires, and then there is the realization that one has the ability to be reborn. This rebirth opens the way to self realization. We find that lower identity and self letting go...not always easily, but it goes through the training and the tearing away. This letting go is preparation for the alignment and release of the awakening. During this process kundulini can be activiated and in our time I would say will be. The mysteries that were once hidden are right out front now, so, it is easy to open up and surrender to the process and alway turn to be that aspect of the beloved to lift one into the higher will. This is happening in the east as well as the west. The west has the teaching as does the east. This aspect of will is very important and interesting enough the Catholic church is very well versed in it but doesn't give it out to the people because they think it is to advanced. I remember the first time I spoke to a priest about this when I was in my early twenties, I literally blew him away. For me... will has always been the key to awakening, and it isn't all that difficult to work with when the individual opens up and understands the process. He asked me if I could become a nun and enter the monastery I said no, I have children and a husband. And I also said I knew I would be fine. The fact that I was seeing spirits daily and having experiences that were just not to be had by a lay person really frightened him. Years later I saw this same priest, I was sitting in a car across the street from the rectory he had moved to, I had not thought about him for years. Anyway, he came across the street asked me to roll down my window and then said, please, will you come in and have coffee, I really need to talk to you. I said sure. He told me that I appeared to him often in his sleep and I would stand next to his bed. And then disappear. I had one flighting memory of this, I felt I was talking to him telling me that it was ok and that people would come into this naturally but that they should be open to help them when they came to them. He was almost in tears. We talked for like an hour and then I left. A couple of weeks later he went back to his home in Ireland and passed away. I knew him from a past life, he knew it as did I. Anyway, that story kind of came together with this sharing, I don't know why, but anyway now you know about my dear friend. Love as always.
