When the Soul Speaks
Often when the soul speaks, man calls it revelation. This is a
downloading of the divine mind into our mind. A thrill passes
through all men at the reception of new truth. When higher centers
manifest, the power to see and understand becomes connected to
the will to do and the doing comes from a joyful obedience of the
creature. Every moment that higher centers manifest, is
potent memory. There is a certain enthusiasm for it to continue
by the creature. This enthusiasm varies with the individual from
ecstasy and trance to prophetic inspiration. When uttered, these
words give great direction to one’s fellow man.
Divine States
Divine States...
Many have tasted Divine States and still turn back over
and go back to sleep. Being around others who have begun
to escape this sleeping is a motivation to keep going. Knowing you
cannot escape alone will assist you on your journey.

The Song of the Soul.
Song of the Soul..
There is a small fuel of joy that is emerging..
A glow of love that has always been there
but now has room to grow.
Silence is the fountain that nurtures
The Song of the Soul.
Feel the vibrations, pulsating
undulating, healing.
The energy moves to the higher
dancing on winds of love.
May I sing your praises.

Life...
Life...
Life is not good or bad,
it is a journey
where we have the
possibility
to evolve into a
higher world
of the Soul.

I Give You...
Comrade,
I give you my hand,
I give you my love more precious than money,
I give you myself before preaching or law;
Will you give me yourself?

Time
Time...
Many of the Conscious Teachers speak of the fleeting nature of our lives, and the great urgency there is in pursuing and awakening our Soul. It is humbling and difficult to wake up and find that one has squandered one's life on trivial identifications and sloth. But it is this very realization which can serve our aim to awaken. So we must not waste our suffering to time, but use it to enrich our practice.
The realization and identity of where we lose our time and the struggle against it can bring one to the moment and feed our Soul. Seeing our mechanical manifestations, such as grudges, and how they rob us of the moment and time, can be depressing if we identify with the observation. But remember, Consciousness is light, so make note and move on. With Presence we begin to see that we have a choice, and our Being in that moment will help us.

To Hold Beauty
To Hold Beauty...
I did not have to ask
my heart what it wanted,
because of all the desires
because of all the desires
I have ever known,
just one did I cling to;
for it was the essence of all desire:
to hold beauty in my soul's arms.
just one did I cling to;
for it was the essence of all desire:
to hold beauty in my soul's arms.

Divine Light
Divine Light...
We all see how the Gods choose just the right play we need to awake and to keep awakening. They constantly give us the opportunity to grow. We need to embrace frictions and accept the play. In some way our frictions are proportional to the Love of the Gods. It is up to us to go in one direction speeding up the process, or in the other one slowing it down.
We have the tools, we just need to use them and use the right ones at the right moment. If we remember to remember ourselves, and if we remember our Souls; if we remember to Love, and that we can become Love. If we remember God and that He is living in us. If we constantly celebrate ourselves, and with Humility we kneel down to be showered from the Divine Light, we will conquer Heaven in Earth.

Dearest Beautiful Souls,
Brothers and Sisters on this journey...
The depth of vision and understanding has grown,

dangers but to be fearless in facing them.
Let me not beg for the stilling of my
pain but for the heart to conquer it.

Gifts...
Gifts...
Awakening to the reality of ones soul is the most difficult
task we can undertake in this world. Our capacity to deal
with the pain of life and sometimes each other is an amazing
ingredient in this work. To be able to transform negativity in
ourselves or that directed towards us, causes an explosion in our
being transcending mechanics. We simply see what is.
In appreciation of this, the higher worlds, where our souls are
received, send us gifts of beauty, peace, love and harmony. The
machine (mind/body) will never understand this; it should always
be one step behind. We must remember not just to be present, but
to ask for and add the ingredient of Love. It exists within us all,
we are all the same. Our bodies, faces, features. etc., are an illusion
dividing us.

Expansion of Love
Expansion of Love...
The pace in the universe is quickening,
and each one of my breaths
can add to
the expansion of Love
in real time, and come into being,
and reach out
to All souls.
Every time I draw air into myself
a transformation
happens
inside my heart and soul.
inside my heart and soul.
When I let it out
....oh what perfume
has
flown from
this inner place?

Inner Peace
Inner Peace...
There is a deep inner peace that we desire.
For me this peace comes when I, the
inner me,
can accept what my machine (mind/body) can not.
And then true hierarchy
is formed -
the master is seated and
the creature follows.

Letters to God
Letters to God...
What would you write to God if you had the
address of a divine PO Box?
Would it be a thank you card with an attached list
naming all his glories?
Would it be a letter seeking council on how best
to proceed on a given course?
Would it be a complaint, crying out from defeat
again and requesting her comfort?
Would you even need to write it?
Or would God already know
everything you could muster?
There have been billions of such letters written.
Somehow God must be lonely, scanning humanity
for the handful of people like him.
Maybe what really excites God is that rare letter, asking
what we could do to find her more friends!

Stand Behind Me...
This study fascinates me, for I have verified that we do have different machines (mind/body) and hence different notes to strike in this world, and unless we are in our essence that is impossible and causes disharmony all around us. Each person is unique in their capacities and limitations - I have become compassionate to my limitations, and am working with them. In return, they less and less catch me by surprise.
A quote comes to mind, Jesus says to the Devil,
'Stand behind me."
Meaning the machine (mind/body) does not go away, it can not be destroyed...it is to be understood, and watched lovingly so it serves the Soul that is leading...

lecture hopes to give a greater insight into the symbology of the
pyramid and how it relates to our eternal quest for enlightenment and
universal love.

Together
Together...
In a School, we join together and share our verifications. We remember ourselves and foster the self-remembering of our fellow students. We keep the light in and dispel the darkness. If darkness enters, we can help each other to hold on and see the glimpse of ourselves mirrored in one another even though we think we can’t see the light. As one; to ride out the storms, to share our plays, to be together on the journey.

Time
Time is Not the Enemy
Time is no
longer the enemy,
no longer feared.
Time is to
be present and enjoy now.
The past is
for looking back,
learning
from experiences,
keeping
joyful times alive to go back to,
to refresh
and re-vitalize.
The present is
for being.
Being with
those with whom
there is an exchange;
of moments
that bring you
to your highest energies.
The future
is in the distance
and is certain to come.
It’s
uncertainty in what will be and the
acceptance as to how the play will go;
the way it
is meant to be;
will bring
peace to the present moment.

The Mystic Life
The Mystic Life...
Here is the first barrier. The first stage where the Creature feels
it is Conscious. It will pass its time dreaming of the Mystical
Graces and how blessed that it is chosen by God. It fails to see the
Soul was chosen, not it.
We have to continue our journey in the direction in which our feet
were set. We must remain present to the Inner Miracle. If we forget
it and do not upkeep it, we will lose it. The Gods will only work for
a defined period without the cooperation of the host. Soon you are
expected to put your shoulder to the plough.
Before Monks and Nuns had only recourse to the paths of
Renunciation and Humility. You are not called on to do this.
You are asked to study your Creature; not to subdue it, but to lie down
with it. To Remember what is happening, then you will be prepared in
a marvelous way to feel the most delicate touches of the Gods.
May I suggest that when you are present and feeling "The Nameless"
drawing near, why not offer a discreet invitation to the Holy Ghost to
hover a while and interface and infuse with you. Then, may you in your
turn, delight and enlighten others, Then the fruitful joys of the
Mystic life will become more and more numerous throughout
the World.
