Immortality is best understood against the background of reincarnation. And while considering the dynamics of reincarnation, we should in turn view this against the background of ‘the seven deadly sins’ and their opposite qualities — their collective impact on the human soul/physiology.

The seven deadly sins, and their opposites qualities — here in brackets — are: pride (humility), envy (kindness), gluttony (temperance), greed (charity), lust (chastity), sloth (diligence), and wrath/anger (patience).

‘Sin’ here means ‘missing the mark’ — when our moral and emotional compasses are out of synch with divine standard: where each ‘sin’ has its own cyclically expressing nature through the physiology thereby premature aging and decaying of the organism before attaining immortality, leading to reincarnation.

But, of the seven deadly or capital vices – capital from the Latin ‘caput’ meaning ‘head’ as opposed to heart — the most powerful component responsible for most reincarnations is undoubtedly the emotion of lust, the non-disciplined sexual desires of carnal mind activity.

The very word structure ‘re in’carn’ation’ contains reference to carnal mind – ‘carn’ or ‘flesh’ and its lusting desire nature.

The word ‘Reincarnation’, from Latin, translates: ‘entering into flesh again’ or ‘put soul into flesh again’. The Latin word ‘caro’ meaning ‘carnal’ translates ‘flesh’. Thus, reincarnation is, ‘(re)peat (in) carnality’, re-fleshing or, carnal soul re-entering and inhabiting flesh.

In the process of conquering dominating lust — illicit or compulsive sexual activity — the other six opposite character traits tend to emerge, integrate and resolve naturally through capacity of applied higher spiritual understanding.

Reincarnation resumes from exactly where the sin-karma or ‘urge seed’ desire originated, which, for us, is planet earth. Each reincarnation carries on from the standard of purified consciousness gained in our previous earth journey, until the cause-cycle is broken.

Reincarnation can be a conscious or unconscious choice. In other words, by deliberately clinging to perpetual ignorance-suffering — consequent of the seven deadly sins — we’re unconsciously stating a desire of maintaining the status quo, stating ‘desire’ for more duality existence, more lesson learning, more aging and decaying back on earth. So long as unconscious ‘desire’ for unnatural happiness remains — perpetuated by ignorance of our true eternal bliss nature — reincarnation repeats indefinitely. Ultimately, liberation from cyclical rebirth is our own choice.

But, should we consciously choose – while in duality — a higher ‘afterlife’ existence, then this is facilitated through the practice of daily meditation and transcendence, when the soul becomes freed from the perpetual cycle of rebirth, old-age, carnal existence and reincarnation.

Matthew 11-28-30 puts it: “Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest”. This verse of course is referring to this very subject of duality, or ‘heavy load’ existence, and the need of developing a trance-like converged awareness. Such is how the soul transcends clinging cyclical carnality unto Non-Dual consciousness.

Ability in trance-like, single-minded awareness — in the area of sex transmutation — was the great secret applied by the ancients on their journey of achieving immortality, and carried on by many ‘lights’ of the modern era.

Committed Practice

Becoming established in ability of sex energy transmutation involves total surrender of the ‘deadly sins’ nature for the period of each meditation.

Establishing ‘ability’ takes committed daily practice. This is how carnal mind becomes acquainted with, and established in, bliss contentment, the opposite quality of sin: when capacity of ‘urge-surge’ transmutation ability becomes as automatic mental discipline. When, higher intuition – Holy Spirit — presents positive avenues and channels for this creative energy to express beneficial to the physiology, our single means-vehicle of gaining immortality.

Being tangible experiences, inner silence and stillness cannot be faked. Thus, an unwilling or non-committed mind cannot become sufficiently still – anchored in pure silence – to experience transcendentally. Carnal mind is as if chasing away the very quality substance which the higher soul intuitively seeks, that is, mental freedom from compulsive ‘sin’ imagery patterns.

Remember, lower carnal mind does not desire peace and contentment. Its sole aim is destruction of all spiritual qualities by means of controlling the pleasure-seeking senses, making them as animalistic-like slaves to a dictatorship ‘sin-based’ carnal mind.

Thus the senses, being duty bound to serve the mind, will present mind with ANY nature of carnal, dehumanizing ‘junk pleasure’ scavenged from the soul-destroying menus of the ‘synthetic corporate mind’ — which aim, it seems, is making every soul an addict or, other-dependent.

Bible puts it: “It’s as hard for a rich man to enter heaven as for a Camel to enter through the eye of a needle” – Matthew: 23-24. “rich” here is referring to soul rust or contamination consequent of repeated sin-overlaying, where ‘poor’ (egoless) is the opposite standard.

In refusing to transcend ‘rich man’ status, carnal mind demonstrates its choice of remaining duality bound, captive of the lower-nature pleasure-driven senses. In fact, ‘carnal’ is never ready for sense-surrendering unto pure silence and stillness — in meditation — and the inevitable life changes as soul recalibrates, rebalances spiritually. This where executive decision comes in — individual conscience.

But, remember, in essence, you are NOT the content of carnal mind. Such content represents opportunity for change: transformational gateways out of the stifling auto desire pattern of unending reincarnations into the unbounded realms of higher awareness. Carnality, thus, is means of gaining Moksha or soul liberation.

This brings us to the final dynamic, of how this state of liberation and immortality is achieved.

Samadhi and conquering Lust

The Latin word ‘Re-ligion’ translates ‘re-binding’, while the eastern term, Yoga, translates unity of mind, body spirit. Similarly, the Sanskrit word, Samadhi, translates: Sam (together/integrate) a (toward) dhi (to get, to hold). Thus, Samadhi means, bringing together mind and body to know Transcendent Spirit. Including the Sanskrit, Nirvana, each pertain to the same inward process of transcending the cycle of reincarnation.

Samadhi consciousness — gained through repeated transcendence in meditation — thus becomes the soul’s means of liberation from repeated incarnations. It does so by transforming or purifying the lusting animalistic consciousness into a unified field of bliss, or tantric consciousness — a state of ecstasy beyond ordinary human consciousness.

Kundalini Life force

Located at the base of the spine in the coccyx area, kundalini, on awakening, rises upwards to the crown chakra at the top head,

Being transformative, kundalini, upon rising upwards, ‘semenizes’ the brain whereby growth in divine standard is initiated into consciousness – thus the term ‘Initiate’.

‘Semeninzing’ is brought about in either of two ways. One, by transmuting seminal sex fluid by intense inner focussing – retention of semen’ — with two love-making people, or by single person in tantric awareness on the kundalini area in the coccyx while in deep meditation. This is called transmutation of sex energy, when no semen is spilled.

Kundalini is further responsible for activating the body’s glandular system, which system is responsible for secretion of vital growth hormones into the physiology, thus ensuring optimal physical health minus premature decaying.

This inner activity marks commencement of the ‘second birth’: human consciousness rebirthing from animalistic nature into cosmic orientation leading to immortality consciousness.

The term Purity

Transmuting sex fluid is also the esoteric understanding behind the white loin cloth wrapped round Jesus’ lower modesty section on the cross. White, being the symbolism of purity, chastity, celibacy, is here referring to sublimation of the semen into something nobler, more refined in substance.

The term purity thus is referring to containment of the precious life-creating semen, that it is not spilled or wasted by means of self-gratification pleasure. That the semen bypasses the genital urge/spill-over region thereby conservation of our eternal wealth, immortality.

Through this ‘purity’ perspective, the biblical term ‘immaculate conception’ becomes more authentic to mind, in that, we now discern that all creation is by some form of sexual activity, and that, such ‘activity’ does not always require two people. That, giving birth to our higher spiritual Self requires only you in focussed tantric awareness. Two-people-sex – if not for procreation — simply represents another option to the same tantric outcome, that of mastering Samadhi. Weather single or couple, both approaches require culturing steadiness of focus, plus culturing the nervous system into withstanding pure bliss.

The Next Life and Immortality

Finally, this single act of becoming ‘born again’ spiritually reflects the innate ‘release from hell into immortality’ yearning of every soul.

Becoming ‘born again’ thus, is how we each create our next-life body, that of immortality consciousness, which transmutation process — of soul gaining eternal Existence — is carried out while on earth.

Once understood, that, carnality cannot abide in Pureness, the following scripture makes perfect sense: John: 7:34 Jesus said: “where I go (pure awareness), you (carnality) cannot come, but I (pure awareness) go (meditate) to prepare a place (state of Samadhi/immortality) for you (within consciousness).”

In other words, this ‘prepared place’ — of immortality consciousness — must be prepared/created now on earth, in meditation, by means of first awakening, then establishing the kundalini life-force in consciousness. And, for it then to be lived consciously through the physical nervous system — of this existing body, –thereby making Samadhi permanent in consciousness. Thus, immortality.

This earth body provides the dynamic through which the innately present immortality seed is germinated into conscious awareness. And, yes, while Heaven or Immortality already exists within each soul as ‘image and likeness of God’, such Potential remains as dormant until come upon through sustained spiritual practices such as daily meditation or Yoga.

Immersing the consciousness in pure silence hails baptism: absorption of the soul into Reality, Samadhi or immortality status. Thereby release from the binding influence of ‘sin’ or duality existence, release from the bondage cycle of reincarnation: the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

By means of the following amazing scripture, this article sets out how we may each come upon Divine Potential, that of miracle consciousness.

Matthew 7: 13-14 puts it: “enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell”. A most telling verse indeed. But, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding.

So, let us put some meat onto this skeleton sentence and see what esoteric nourishment can be gleaned from it. Let us discover how this particular scripture can change our life dramatically for the good.

We’re each inner equipped for spiritual awakening. But, until we connect consciously with the faculty or dynamic of awakening, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. Literal reading of this scripture is not sufficient, such does not touch upon the faculty means of soul awakening and ability of directly knowing miracle consciousness.

More than ever now, it’s time for moving into personal empowerment, into direct experience of the Divine within each of us. In this context, no outer means — including spoken or written words which are guiding and inspirational only — can give us God, simply because you already have God. Evolution-wise, It’s way past time for evolving beyond limiting religious dogmas and fear-driven belief systems into authentic reality and spiritual maturity, into direct God-Presence or miracle consciousness.

It’s important here to remember that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, but to one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ refers to being ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. The term is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people. Thus the words on top of the crucifixion read: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise (awakening) be the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ within.

At our core, we’re each wired for ‘inwardly’: each encoded for divine seeking. Thus the Matthew scripture above is referring to spiritual awakening through our own inward means of mind only.

Question

in the context of ‘inwardly’ and spiritual awakening, what exactly does narrow and wide gate mean, to what and where within are they referring?

Answer

Narrow gate is referring to becoming ‘least’ or smallest in lower ego, and wide gate referring to the outer world, to the carnal mind’s addictive attraction and association with the conditioned five senses and their animalistic standard.

So, there are two gates. One leading to heaven the other to hell. The gate to heaven is the strait, or narrow gate – being inwardly seeking – and the gate leading to hell is the outer wide gate of ‘world’ sense consciousness.

Three more questions

What practicalities are involved for entering into this narrow gate: how does one enter through it? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, our social status, our religious faith flags? And, where specifically within is this narrow gate located?

In other words, what’s the password to heaven, to miracle consciousness?

The password to heaven is CONVERGENCE.

Narrow gate — meaning mental convergence — is triggered in the brain, while the wide gate functions under law of spiritual ignorance: lower-self or animalistic standard, here referred to as hell.

Becoming Inwardly

At the functioning level, both gates represent polar opposite states of mind. The reason being, is that, we must learn from our wide gate experiences and, through such learnings, choose one gate standard over the other. Thus, having chosen to be inwardly or, narrow gate, we take practical steps in that direction, of realizing direct narrow gate awareness.

Making this choice of becoming inwardly and taking the initial inward steps in that regard, takes individual courage. But the process — which will be explained here — is really not difficult but does require commitment and dedication. In other words, we make our choice and follow through no matter what our wide gate experiences throw at us. In this context, we member the biblical verse: “and it came to pass… “, meaning every personal situation, struggle or challenge, changes or, comes to pass. So that’s our biblical encouragement throughout this process of becoming ‘inwardly’.

Wide gate consciousness represents and satisfies the lower-self only — the conditioned mind-senses personality – here termed suffering or hell — while narrow gate satisfies or raises the soul/heart into conscious Eternal standard.

Narrowing the focus

By creating a false persona, wide gate identification results in loss of spiritual identity — hence the expression ‘what good in conquering the world, if in doing so, we lose our soul’.

So, ‘narrow gate’ initially is about NARROWING the wide gate persona: narrowing the scattered irresolute intellect: narrowing the activities of the incessant surface thinking mind and its attraction with wide gate or ‘the world’ level of sense consciousness.

Similar to the tortoise withdrawing its limbs into its shell, narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn or detached from their objects of attraction — both mental and physical. This is the ‘inwardly’ process of transforming wide gate addiction experiencing into spiritually fulfilling narrow gate awareness.

Miracle of Convergence

Part of the crucifixion’s symbolic or esoteric message is revealed in the image where Jesus’ eyes – on the cross — are converged. Narrowing the mental wide gate through convergence thus replicates personal crucifixion of the created false persona, carnal mind or lower ego.

Daily practice in ‘convergence’ allows the brain adapt to handling two states of awareness simultaneously: world consciousness and eternal consciousness (wide gate and narrow gate). Prior to this functional ability, the brain-nervous system functioned only in mono or single state attention. We’re now entering the realm of miracle consciousness of where narrow gate discernment becomes as spiritual Conqueror over false persona-driven wide gate intellect.

As convergence becomes established, we’re no longer under the compulsion and dominance of the false persona, of wide gate attractions: we now make conscious decisions formulated through the Resolute intellect as opposed to the irresolute. The brain / intellect re-calibrate from animalistic mono into facilitating time and timelessness — relative and absolute – simultaneously within the nervous system. Remembering that we come in to this world uploaded in mono only. Now, a New capacity of consciousness has been triggered, revealed, awakened, that of knowing ‘heaven on earth’ at individual level. Biblically phrased: “heaven and earth (within) are full of thy glory” – full spiritual potential is always available through being ‘inwardly’ converged.

Tolerance to convergence needs time to mature. I say mature, because, there is so much bliss on contact with converged point — mature narrow gate — that the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of pure bliss (biblical rapture). It takes repeated ‘dating’ for this mind/body physiology relationship to eventually ‘marry’, adapt to the surge of pure energy without the dilutor influence of the artificial wide gate persona. At this level, one experiences Divine Presence within as separate from outer world gate activity.

Diving within and the relevance of the mantra

The word ‘least’ biblically can also translate ‘point’ as in, point awareness. Once mature point, or least, becomes established in consciousness, the human soul – in its combined aspect — becomes liberated into conscious infinity – transcendence or, the non-permeated state of Being — without risk of re-capture by the glare of wide gate experiencing. In other words, new desire seeds no longer take deep root for future re-enacting, or future karmic debt.

The secret of deep-sea diving is entering the water at the correct angle. To aid in diving deep within the mind, let us introduce ‘the correct angle’ vehicle, the mantra, Aum. Mantra takes the mind naturally and effortlessly from its familiar conscious terms of reference to the non-familiar unconscious spiritual level.

Mantra is the mind’s natural means of convergence which convergence introduces the mind to the unified field of awareness. It achieves this by way of converged eyes and focussed inner hearing. Focussed eyes and inner hearing take the mind to the mid-brain point, which point triggers the pineal gland into service.

Bearing in mind that the conscious and unconscious are not two separate minds, rather, two aspects of a divided mind. Thus the mantra – meaning mind vehicle – integrates or unifies this thought-created separation by taking the mind through all the levels of the unconscious aspect thereby making it conscious or full. In this context, mantra functions like a deep-sea vibratory torch bringing conscious awareness to unconsciousness, to the non-awakened aspect of mind.

Aum replicates the subtle sound of the universe to which inner hearing attunes. This sacred sound as mentioned with practice recalibrates the brain to oscillate at between 1-3 cycles per second — the Delta or Divine state.

During Aum, the eyes and inner hearing converge naturally between the eyebrows, which ‘point centring’ activates the pineal and pituitary glands. This is how left / right brain harmonization or full spectrum brain awareness, comes about, or, expansion of consciousness.

In this new mind dynamic, awareness functions through unconscious attention – free-flowing thought — as opposed to selective ego-driven conscious mind content or compulsive surface mind thinking. In other words, as the conscious capacity of mind expands, awareness is no longer filtered THROUGH something, through mind-set conditioning, as previously.

As reality begins revealing itself through the eternal Present Moment, the Now, life is no longer experienced through the rear-view mirror of conditioned mind-sets and blinkered societal vision.

Our life no longer reflects fear-driven agendas, that of automatic response activity to previous conditioning. We’re now free to LIVE and not merely exist prisoner-like THROUGH the looped content of one or many controlling mind-sets. Remember, mind-set dictates your life.

Because life is now perceived and experienced through higher awareness, it’s like touching base with our spiritual landscape for the very first time. Convergence has freed us from the illusion of the thought-created world.

There is a bust statue of a Pine cone in the garden section of the Vatican. This symbol – referring to the pineal gland — is rarely spoken about in religion, yet its esoteric message is paramount to the spiritual awakening process.

Entering mind at the right angle

Many are familiar with verbal chanting, particularly that of Aum or Om.

We’re now going to show just how this mantra can be experienced more purely, subtler other than surface decibel hearing.

To start

Chant at normal surface level for about 20/30 seconds. Now, reduce and cease outer verbal recitation and continue inner hearing of mantra non-verbally or silently within from this deeper angle. In other words, go into ‘minus’ decibel hearing and continue deepening the minus level of the inner hearing.

We’re now bringing surface mantra hearing from 14-21 cycles per second of Beta brain speed to 4-7 cps inner hearing of the Theta unifying state. This level represents true biblical silence and stillness, as in “be still and know that I am God” psalm 46-10

With sustained practice, we can lower the brain’s oscillations even deeper to 1-3 cps, which is the Delta state. This level equates to Transcendence or God-Vibratory state.

If the mind drifts into wide gate, and it will — this is why we practice — pause for about 3 seconds, then recommence ‘inner hearing’. Each recommenced ‘inner hearing’ is from a deeper level, thus, every mantra restart represents progress in expansion of consciousness, nothing is lost, only gain.

Point and Infinity

As miracle consciousness develops, we come to understand, that, converged point and infinity are equal: neither are permeated by time, space and causation. Point, on inner contact, equates to concentrated bliss or natural happiness which explodes into Infinity, unboundedness, which infinity collapses back into point to explode again and again every time ‘point contact’ is achieved in meditation. Point and Infinity both contain the eternal memory of each other.

The need now as a species, I feel, is toning back on literal religiosity and instead view scriptures as intended – instructional in consciousness development. It’s worth noting that, many of the early scriptures were composed by advanced Yogis and Rishis — dealing with how the mind functions, and how, through misuse, mind can work either for us or against us – our best friend or worse enemy. Individual convergence indeed is the way of developing and establishing a miracle-functioning consciousness beyond doctrinal dogma and belief systems.

Many confuse faith and rigid belief systems as similar, while more confuse faith and residual happiness as separate.

Religious faith tends to be doctrine-ridden. In how well we can preach literal stories as real as opposed to mature esoteric understanding.

And, of course, true faith — literal or esoteric — can be seen everywhere, in everyone and in every situation. Faith is when the THOUGHT of God is absent, or, working through divine standard unconsciously. After-all, a thought of God is still only a thought, it’s a thing, it passes.

This term, ‘rigid belief systems’, I feel, has caused much malfunction globally regards mental health and physical well-being.

The gospels are not setting out religious belief systems for anyone. Not advocating strict moral dictates to the extent that one is existing robotic-like. Thus, not living one’s natural freedom status through the body consciousness, stifles free-flowing creative expression, the very substance or nature of our Being.

As spiritual Beings, and as co-creators with God, humans were not created to be locked away from the ‘hell-world’ in spiritual caves, monasteries or institutional dungeons. (This is not referring to the present global lockdown).

If our humanity is never tested by the laws of nature, by the hustle, bustle and temptations of daily living, then how strong or abiding is our over-all faith?

The same applies to youth and health.

Many confuse absence of youth with chronological age, when in fact youth essentially is an inner state of well-being, at any age.

Many confuse ill-health with fate or genetic inheritance. The reality is, we create our own standard of health by the food we eat and the thoughts we entertain. This simple format of food nourishment and mental nourishment, supplies the mind-body with the vital life-force known as kundalini energy.

In other words, food makes the body, while Spirit forms the soul.

The Bible is allegorical

So much confusion can arise based on our belief systems, our faith and our standard well-being. So let us now address this apparent confusion, in the spiritual context.

Firstly, the Bible is presented in coded or symbolized language. Names, places and events refer to inner faculties, to altering states of consciousness.

The truth is, every soul from birth has innate faith. And bringing this to its highest fruition in consciousness, requires personal inward travel, not outer conditioning.

And while many religions refer to the Bible, the Bible is not referring to ANY religion.

Authentic Heaven

The Bible’s essence is, was, and always will be, present within each soul. Hence Jesus’ words, ‘the kingdom of heaven – Christ — is within’. This being the reality, why has so much emphasis, over the centuries, been placed on the outer dynamic in finding Christ and Truth.

While scripture’s core soul-saving message always existed – albeit without an adequate verbal language to convey such — the tenets existed within each heart in ignorance format, but which simply required instruction, not doctrine.

Achieving a Self-revealing gospel consciousness — the wordless format — calls for direct experience of utter silence, direct experience of our Higher Self or Christ. In finding such, we’ll have found Authentic Heaven, Authentic Wisdom or direct Revelation from within.

The reality is, we don’t NEED to physically read particular scriptures in order to find God within. Meaning, if we never read a single word of scripture, then that’s fine with God too. Once we’ve established pure-silence in consciousness, and express such through the heart, then God will have no problem picking up on our compassionate-love vibration, whatever our positional status in life is — creed or non-creed.

The question arises, how do we come upon the Bible’s core message without reading it. How then do we unravel the gems of esoteric wisdom therein? How is ignorance based consciousness transformed naturally into Enlightened Awareness? What is the method?

The answer to these questions are in the form of yet another question.

Esoterically who or what is biblical Jesus?

Biblical, or esoteric, Jesus represents inner Potential: the ideal human; the human soul in process of perfecting spiritually.

To this end, the Bible reminds us that, Noah, was instructed the build an Ark.

So, what was this Ark event which eventually came to rest atop of a mountain. What was the flood that God sent to raise Noah’s Ark?

The flood was a surge of transformational bliss-silence in to the mind-body, the Ark.

Noah is symbolism for you-soul. And the mountain which the Ark came to rest upon was the Higher Peace, Ageless Happiness, Christ Love within our own consciousness. In other words, silence builds the spiritual Ark or Mind.

Biblical Jesus, therefore, symbolizes the divine spark potential within each human seeking their eternal Christ Soul. Jesus, the spark, becomes the Eternal Flame, the medium through which Christ-consciousness reflects as our immediate conscious awareness.

The Bible, therefore, is not referring to historical people, names or events. The Bible, being allegorical, is not intended to be taken literally. Names and places are references to spiritual happenings or awakenings within the human mind-body physiology.

These inner changes represent the biblical miracles as set out in Revelations 6 onwards under the heading “the 7 seals” meaning the 7 spiritual chakras along the spinal column which, from human birth, are in need of activation for serving divinely, spiritually.

‘Miracles’ are what happen within our own consciousness. Therefore, awakening the indwelling dynamic, the Jesus-spark, produces the flood which raises the level of our Ark to Christ standard consciousness.

Igniting this spark-potential is our only priority in life.

So, in this time of coronavirus, how then do we ignite the spark, this miracle potential as immunity protection. How do we cross the mire of ignorance-based health into disease-free consciousness? And, how do we raise our Ark and fulfill the entire Bible’s message naturally from within as intended?

The secret is convergence

Have you ever wondered why so many ancient churches had a spire built into their structure, and why a Bell was positioned inside the top of the spire?

The subliminal spire message is, convergence, with the Bell symbolizing spiritual vibration or divine emanations from the spire point.

When all mental faculties become centered or concentrated to a point, we become as spire, inwardly con-verged to what Revelations refers to as the 7th seal, the pineal gland in mid brain.

Spire point will take the awareness to its highest spiritual level, that of Ark consciousness. Here, sense consciousness becomes transformed beyond phenomenal existence into the transcendental state of unbounded cosmic awareness. No disease can exist here.

Infinity being the borderless state, it represents the highest stage of our evolution here on earth. This is soul liberation from the clutches of ignorance-life or ‘hell’. And even though we’ve been here many times previously, this blessed Bliss state can be secured permanently here on earth, in this life-time.

Convergence and the 3^rd Eye

Converge means ‘con’ or join the verge(s) into point. Practical convergence essentially is a process leading to pointed awareness, localized between the eyebrows in the mid brain. This brain point is of divine stature.

Also known as the third eye – Eye of the soul – convergence is the entry point into expanded awareness, into peace and disease-free consciousness. Regular convergence at 3rd eye point is necessary. This in time brings about the immunity, the happiness and the peace every soul yearns. This is transcendental pure consciousness.

This is how the mind becomes infinity-infused, immortality-acquainted, or, infinity-knowing.

The expression Infinity-infusion is a practical term through which to express the abstract borderless state. The borderless state is Pure Existence. Therefore, becoming Pure Existence is the encoded nature of each soul seed. To pollinate this seed, we’re ‘called’ to convergence, pointed silence, there to re-birth out of the human condition into Eternal Spirit.

For this metamorphosis ‘event’, the lower ego is surrendered unto pure inner silence thereby undergoing ‘crucifixion’ – this is the purification process – lower-self dying to Higher Self awakening.

Think caterpillar into butterfly. It’s the same for humans except we humans morph or transform into God Spirit.

The In-Spired State

In convergence meditation, local consciousness transcends time, space and causation. Coming out of meditation, consciousness retains much of infinity-infused silence until our next meditation. Thus, regular twice daily meditation ensures permanent infinity-infused awareness or human consciousness witnessing divinely.

In steady convergence, the phenomenal world collapses into point, into infinity – they are both the same. Point has the DNA of infinity and infinity has the DNA of point. They’re eternally inseparable. Thus, knowing infinity, immortality, is the God-given potential of each soul.

While scriptures indeed play a vital role initially, ultimately, it’s you as ‘I’ – minus belief systems — which enters the pure silence. It’s this ‘I’ which then becomes the Risen Christ, the Risen Consciousness. In other words, the Resurrection is within.

The nomadic mind wonders no more for morsels of second-hand knowledge and outer world conditioning. Convergence has brought the soul Home. Our life purpose is fulfilled.

Our liberated soul now reflects the Light and Wisdom of God.

So be it. Blessings.

Matthew 7: 13-14 puts it: “enter ye through the narrow gate, for wide is the gate that leads to hell”. A most telling verse indeed. In light of Coronavirus, to where exactly is this instructional verse guiding. Regards overall health, how do we interpret this verse specifically regards Coronavirus contagion?

By the end of this article, matters in this area should become much more clearer. That, regards COVID-19, we’re not helpless, not at all, in fact, the reverse.

The truth is, we’re each inner equipped with dynamics of prevention and healing specifically regards the situation pertaining globally.

But, until we connect consciously with this protection dynamic, and upload it practically into consciousness, then scriptures as these remain at their intellectual value only. Thus the need of reading the above scripture esoterically, as opposed to literal. Surface reading alone of this, or any scripture, does not alter the state of the soul.

More than ever, it’s time for moving into personal empowerment or direct experience of the innately present divine within each of us. Time for evolving beyond limiting dogmas and belief systems, into authentic spiritual maturity in God-Presence consciousness.

Remembering, that, biblical ‘church’ is not referring to a physical building, but one’s consciousness. Similarly, the biblical term ‘Jew’ refers to ‘inwardly’ — one seeking God within. The term is not referring to the Jewish nation or its people. Thus the words on top of the crucifixion read: ‘hail king of the Jews’ meaning, praise be the inwardly directed soul seeking their own Christ within.

This Matthew scripture, therefore, is referring to our being ‘inwardly’, being in narrow gate status as opposed to outwardly — wide gate orientation.

At our core, we’re each ‘inwardly’: we’re each seeker’s.

To this end, understanding keyphrases in the above scripture, is vital.

So,

What does narrow and wide gates mean?

‘Gate’ is an avenue of sense experience, and ‘narrow’ is inward focus.

Wide gate is referring to the outer world, to the incessant activity of the scattered mind and its attraction or association with the conditioned five senses.

So, there are two gates. One leading to heaven the other to hell. The gate to heaven is the strait, or narrow gate – meaning to be inwardly seeking – and the gate leading to hell is the outer wide gate of sense consciousness.

The questions arise: what practicalities are involved in entering the narrow gate? Where are these two gates located, and how does one enter through the narrow gate? Do we enter with our belief systems, our creeds, our faith-flags, or with what?

In other words, what is the password?

Answers

The narrow gate is mental convergence — a means of self-realization — and is located in the brain. The wide gate functions under the law of spiritual ignorance, here referred to as hell. And the password is, ‘meditational silence’.

Mastering these two ‘gates’, by applying the password practically, are our protection means against COVID-19. It does so by creating invincible immunity.

Commencing Inwardly

Both gates initially represent polar opposite functioning’s, and for good reason. The reason being, that we must choose one gate standard over the other. Then, having chosen to be inwardly — narrow gate — we make practical progress in that direction: commence the inward journey of knowing God directly. This process — which will be explained — considering the tangible rewards of heaven and health, is not difficult but requires commitment and dedication.

Wide gate consciousness satisfies mind-senses only, while Spirit or narrow gate satisfies the heart,

Narrowing the focus

So, ‘the narrow gate’ initially is about NARROWING the wide gate: narrowing the active intellect. Narrowing the activities of the incessant conscious thinking mind and its attraction with the outer world. Narrowing the mental focus is how the senses become withdrawn from their objects, thus transforming wide gate experiencing.

Wide gate activity causes loss of spiritual identity, hence the expression ‘what good in conquering the world, if in doing so, we lose our soul’.

We’re born into wide gate standard, hence the need of God-given faculties in bringing about narrow gate standard, thereby access to kingdom of heaven awareness.

Miracle of Convergence

Narrowing of the wide gate, therefore, is one of mental convergence.

Convergence, by transforming wide gate into narrow gate, or, into single-eye awareness, performs as miracle-like activity, in that, convergence facilitates co-existence, whereby both gates function synergistically as one – ‘as above so below’.

Repeated arriving at convergence allows the brain adapt to handling two states of awareness simultaneously: world consciousness and eternal consciousness. Prior to dual state of awareness, the brain functioned only in mono.

When converged state becomes established, we’re no longer under the ignorance-compelling influences or dominance of wide gate attractions: we now make conscious decisions. The brain re-calibrates from mono, allowing the nervous system experience time and timelessness — relative and absolute — simultaneously. Remembering that we come in to this world uploaded in mono only.

In other words, when convergence matures, then narrow-gate-wide-gate transform to become infinity and point awareness simultaneously. I say mature, because, there is so much bliss on contact with point, in mature narrow gate, that the nervous system needs time to acclimatize, become cultured into withstanding waves of bliss. Thus it takes repeated practice for the physiology to adapt.

Biblically, point is referred to as ‘the least among you’, for there’s nothing smaller than least. Once we gain mature ‘least’ — point-contact, or mature narrow gate awareness — the soul is liberated to surf conscious infinity — the non-permeated state of Being.

Relevance of Aum and the Pineal gland

Let us now introduce the vehicle of convergence, the mantra, Aum.

As mentioned, in order to transcend sense activity, we must hone the mental faculties by means of convergence. In achieving this, the brain adjusts to the reverberations of Aum. Aum mantra is the subtle humming sound of the universe. When this sacred vibratory sound oscillates at between 1-3 cycles per second, the brain attunes itself cosmically or Godly.

This inner hearing of Aum, at the subtle level, takes the awareness naturally between the eyebrows, to the pineal gland at the center of the brain. The eyes, in meditation, will automatically travel upwards converging themselves between the eyebrows.

Some may be familiar with certain crucifixion images, where Jesus’ eyes — on the cross — are open and clearly directed to this converged point between the eyebrows. There is how the pineal gland is accessed for its spiritual and health benefits. This gland, therefore, equates to the biblical narrow gate, or point awareness.

There is a bust statue of the pineal gland in the garden section of the Vatican. This symbol is never spoken about, and, yet its esoteric message is vital particularly during this present pandemic.

Pineal experience transcends belief systems.

The pineal is where biblical Jacob (symbolism for the as yet non-redeemed soul) saw the face of God (Bliss). ‘Face of God’ is referring to the image and likeness or God-nature awaiting stimulation into consciousness, into our lives as direct Presence experience. The pineal centre is where lower ego – wide gate — gets ‘crucified’. It’s also referred to as ‘place of the skull’ – or ‘mount’, meaning highest point of awareness. In other words, in meditation, when awareness transcends, it become Mount awareness.

Optimizing inner hearing

Many are familiar with chanting of that most revered mantra, Aum or Om.

We’re now going to show just how this wonderful mantra can be experienced even more purely.

In verbal chanting, we’re familiar only with hearing Aum at surface decibel level, and this is beautiful, of course. But, for many, verbal chanting may not be practical in confined residential quarters.

So, let’s say our normal chanting of Aum is through the surface decibel level. Now, commence hearing verbally at surface level, for, let’s say, 30 seconds. Then, cease verbal recitation and continue hearing the same mantra sound silently within – go into ‘minus’ decibel level depth. We’re now deepening the inner hearing gate to 4-7 cps, (cycles per second) this is Theta healing state.

With sustained practice, we can deepen to 1-3 cps, this is called Delta state. This is God-Vibration state.

A practice run

Be seated with closed eyes. Commence surface hearing of Aum for about 30 seconds then switch to ‘hearing’ Aum silently within.

If the mind drifts into wide gate, and it will — this is why we practice — pause for about 3 seconds, then resume inner ‘hearing’. Each resumed ‘hearing’ will be from a deeper level. This gate-narrowing from surface activity to cosmic silence, equates to disease-free or divine standard of consciousness.

we come to understand, that, point and infinity are equal: neither are permeated by time, space and causation. Therefore, issues as COVID-19 do not exist here. And if the whole global population entered into point awareness or Pure consciousness daily, the world would not be closed down as pertains presently. But, this too shall pass.

Finally, to complete Matthew 7–13-14 above, we need to clarify Matthew 22–14. This verse is piotal.

It states:

‘Many are called but few are chosen’

This verse is directly connected to the wide gate, narrow gate dynamic.

The fact is, through birth, we’ve each alreadybeen chosen, or invited to the wedding feast, to the kingdom of God within: each is invited to enter through the narrow gate. In other words, we’re each bestowed off divine Potential for realizing Godliness within consciousness. Each is given potential of self-realizing ‘image and likeness of God’ by conscious choice.

Thus we ‘choose’ or make ourselves ‘chosen’.

‘Image and likeness’ realization is for the purposes of living divine standard through faith-infused consciousness. This faith is not for selective material possessions only, but universal throughout all aspects of our life. Developed faith equates to developed silence, which represents cosmic standard of consciousness or direct alignment in God-nature.

We’ve all been chosen or given an invite to this divine standard. But, weather we choose to go to the wedding feast — choose to converge and go through narrow gate of silence experience — is our choice. In this context, God does not force or choose any of us, as such, we make ourselves chosen.

The word ‘many’ means ‘all’, and the word ‘few’ means ‘none’ and the word ‘chosen’ refers to choosing ourselves, choosing narrow gate over wide gate.

For many, in the beginning, this path can pose personal challenges. But that’s exactly what it’s supposed to be: a challenge of integration and transformation. And this is why many initially do not find the narrow gate, because they have not consciously decided in finding it.

In the above scriptures, we’re asked to surrender sense-consciousness for the period of meditation. In meditation, we relinquish wide gate for narrow gate, relinquish lower standard for divine or white garment standard. Repeated meditation ensures we’re wearing a white garment at the wedding feast. White garment is achieved by entering through the narrow gate repeatedly, leading to purification,.

In conclusion

Meditation is similar to entering the silence cave within, then re-emerging. But, on re-emergence, we’re not leaving the cave behind, rather we’re taking its pure silence with us. Each time we enter the cave and re-emerge, we grow abuntdantly more in pure silence and stillness. Thus each entry into meditation ensures retention of deeper cave-silence, when, at a certain point, cave silence becomes permanent.

Thus, situations as COVID-19, due to our now invincible immune system, born of converged narrow gate silence, have no effect on us. Blessings.

Prior to spiritual awakening, the mind is propelled by inherent subconscious thought programs. Due to the way Nature or evolution functions, we each come into this world already uploaded in natural adherence to the permanent laws of nature. No person escapes this activity which operates in the mind and body. These inherited energy patterns are what the permanent laws of nature work on in providing our individual relative life experiences.

The content nature of these subconscious patterns, exists consequent of the seed standard produced in previous lives.

Based on these previously created journey-seeds, the laws of nature – laws of mind – manifest corresponding worlds to fit the paradigms of these seed patterns. Every previous seed thought which was accepted in deeper mind as true, reproduces to form our reality after birth. The laws of nature continue material manifestation of the seeds, into full bloom, until the cycle is interrupted by conscious awareness.

Because of these ignorance-based mind-sets or thought seeds, the corresponding lower intellect – as opposed to resolute intellect — has no choice but adhere faithfully and develop lifestyles and relationships around which our lives can reflect these lower-nature seed patterns, thereby repeating this level of consciousness indefinitely.

Sadly, this unwitting higher-nature ignorance is the root cause of almost every known disease or infection on the planet. Logic suggests that, at some level, this known fact must extend into the realm of the unknown or potential diseases such as the present Coronavirus pandemic. In other words, prevention is possible which is better than cure.

In the sleeping soul state, we’re without stability, equipoise: our mental-physical equilibrium falls prey to all the laws of opposites – good-bad, love-hate, like-dislike, disease-harmony. In other words, the laws of nature fulfill ignorance-based consciousness to perfection. It does so in order to keep us bound to its authority. Because of this unwitting ‘fall from grace’ our life is lived under the spell of illusory existence — identifying solely with the uploaded birth standard of disease-consciousness and all the ramifications of addictive lifestyles. Thus perpetuating a vicious circle of finding cures for situations which could have been prevented. In other words, spiritual blindness continues in perpetuity until we raise the lower human standard to a higher standard: one established in spiritual awareness. this process is the way of gaining Pure Consciousness, the sickles state.

Soul’s desire for evolution

At some point in our life, the soul’s desire for growth and evolution begins surfacing from within. When ‘suffering’ becomes too much, an inner dialogue along the lines ‘enough is enough’, ‘what can I do to escape this’. Much like biblical Paul’s flash on the road to Damascus. This flash moment of course was a flash of intuitive awareness which becomes clearly cognizable. For some this may be soon after adolescence, for others during some personal crises or an unguarded ego moment, or an unsuspecting seed of inspiration is picked up from another soul.

In times of crises, when there’s not many options available, we become keenly sensitive and alert to life-saving guidance. These prompts equate to divine wisdom: our soul screaming for what we must do next. For further life development, this soul-listening or soul-attuning is critical.

The soul’s desire for spiritual evolution is one of those symphonic points, when that certain Que, flash or inner prompt becomes the catalyst to some outer practical action: maybe a detoxification program leading to inner freedom from addictive life patterns or some soul-destroying habits.

But always remembering, that, freedom from the compelling laws of nature is a conscious decision.

This is when practices like meditation and yoga start making impression-seeds in the mind, start stirring the asleep consciousness into self-inquiry awareness. In the beginning, we won’t know much about these practices, but deep down they resonate a spiritual vibration in us. This resonance is divine prompting.

Catch 22

Now, in this context, of spiritual awakening, we’re presented with the classic conundrum or catch-22 situation. On the one hand, due to this inherited subconscious conditioning — habitual stress, fear and ignorance — while on the other, interrupting this automatic activity requires a conscious decision to breaking this soul-sleeping cycle and eventual escape from it into the awakening level.

Making this decision is akin to self-force awakening from a bad dream. Even though we’re sleeping, we just know we must escape this griping nightmare. Even in the dream, awakening calls for real effort. Herein lies the clue. We’re presented with the nightmare in order to awaken from it. Similarly, with ignorance-based life, we make the decision to awaken from its nightmare existence.

This is the biggest effort-requiring decision we’ll ever make in our entire life. Like the dream, it calls for strength and courage. But once we commence we’ll always awaken. The difference being, the dream is a fabrication, an illusion, whereas You are real.

And while we’re born in to this lower world of law dominance, at another level of soul, humans are encoded with immortality DNA. But, again, we must consciously choose immortality.

Similarly, like dream awakening, once this inner journey commences, the target of immortality and Self-awareness becomes unmissable. At a certain point we’ll have developed a level of consciousness from which we will ‘know’ immortality. But, between knowing and non-knowing much shedding and inner awakening will have taken place.

Moving on.

Re-aligning mind-body for additional immunity

Innumerable are the laws of nature, thus we cannot align with each law separately. This is impossible. But what is possible, what is doable, is re-align the mind in such a way that there is automatic mind-body-health-harmony co-ordination with all the laws of nature simultaneously. This is how the immune system is weaponized in defending against viral attack such as Covid-19. This process of cosmic mind alignment stimulates the Thymus gland into releasing the required quota of mature antibodies or white blood cells –antigens or pathogens — into the immune system, which then travel through a now strengthened circulatory system bringing further health-infused oxygen to every part of the body..

This approach to disease-free health presents a whole new dynamic for the ordinary person to initiate into our lives cost-free and natural.

The Three Gunas of Nature

Let us now address these innumerable laws of nature by their umbrella titles. They come under what the immortal Bhagavad-Gita calls the three gunas. These three gunas are the qualities or dynamics working within each of us from birth, the laws of nature, as mentioned earlier. Gaining knowledge of guna interaction is where real spiritual schooling begins. It’s from here — from this practiced understanding — that real physical health, well-being and soul liberation establishes tangibly in consciousness.

The three Gunas are:

Sattva – harmony, goodness, spirituality

Rajas – passion, activity, ambition

Tamas – inertia, dullness, sloth

Collectively these three elements of nature are responsible for all creation, maintenance and dissolution. Such is how physical creation and evolution continue in perpetuity eternally.

As we can observe, each guna has a particular quality or nature. And at certain stages in our life, one of these qualities may be the dominant guna, or any pair of gunas interacting with each other. In other words, we can be feeling blissfully happy one day and next day the reverse – the gunas compete for dominance over our free will. Bhagavad-Gita refers to this alternating activity as the gunas acting upon gunas. This is why we don’t get attached even to Sattva standard because it too is binding. But, what is constant and non-binding is Pure Sattva. This state represents soul liberation which is gained through regular meditation.

And while all three gunas are present simultaneously in mind-body, the Higher Self or Soul, being transcendental lies beyond the gunas, beyond aging and decaying. Therein lies THE secret of perfect health. The transcendental state of unruffled calm is truly the dormant miracle awaiting a consciousness through which to reflect. We can each be that Prism of consciousness.

The human soul sets out in life from the tamas-rajas level. Later, raja guna spurs us warrior-like to explore the treasure troves of the material world, possessions and artificial happiness. Later again, through maturity — or burnout — we discover that the material possessions and artificial happiness are not providing that innately sought-after ‘something’. That sub-terrain quality of inner space, peace and happiness, or, Pure Sattva. This Pure Sattva state can exist alongside the chaotic world activity. We don’t have to self-isolate in a cave or monastery. No, we live normal lives in whichever societal culture we’re born into.

Guiding Scriptures to Bliss-consciousness

Here are some wonderful scriptures, each expressing exactly the same message of health, peace and liberation.

The Bible states: Jesus said, “First seek ye the kingdom of heaven (Perfection) and all else shall be added” (added unto consciousness.)

Then, in the immortal five thousand years old Bhagavad-Gita, chapter two verse 45, Lord Krishna states: “Be without the three gunas, O Arjuna, freed from duality” meaning, freed from rule of opposites, the laws of nature..

These two pivotal scriptures are both presenting the same means of gaining contact with the Transcendent Divine Principle latent within all humans, regardless of our culture.

Again, Jesus said: “My kingdom is not of this world” meaning, that, Pure Coconsciousness is not of time space and causation, or, this world.

And, “the kingdom of God is within” — referring to divine potential within consciousness, which Potential, when realized, is Pure Consciousness, Pure Sattva. Also termed Bliss-Consciousness or Cosmic-Consciousness.

Transcending the Gunas and uploading disease-free health

Negative thought entanglement is what keeps the mind and body trapped in perpetual suffering. Transcendence, on the other hand, is what frees the mind-body from thought entanglement interaction.

Thus the art of disentanglement from subconscious mind-sets, particularly regards health, is through transcendence. Transcendence is already Perfect, already Pure Awareness. No worldly ailment can exist here. Nothing of this world can gain access into Pure Consciousness, thus the need of inner transformation. This is where inner silence and utter mental surrender comes in.

The purpose of the three gunas of Nature therefore is to keep each human soul bound to thought entanglement, bound to its authority in the area of ‘world’ existence. Thus THE goal of life for each soul is to transcend the laws of nature, transcend beyond ‘the world’ of the three gunas. There is no higher spiritual achievement than this act of personal transcendence.

And because we have risen above time, space and causation, in transcendence there is no aging or decaying of the cellular body for the duration of the meditation session -we’re establishing conscious immortality awareness.

After gaining pure transcendental consciousness, the mind, post meditation, retains a certain level of transcendental bliss nature until our next meditation. Twice daily meditation is imperative in making transcendental consciousness a permanent state. At this level, we don’t take sides with the gunas nor do we react to their inter-functioning. Self-Bliss Awareness is now experienced as separate from the activity of the world.
Bhagavad-Gita, chapter six, verses 10-15, sets out the simple method of meditation, leading to transcendence, and how to practice it.

This meditation practice is surely the secret to having a strong nervous system and, more vitally, optimizing the activities of the immune system for our total health benefit, particularly release of white blood cells, or T-cells, from the Thymus gland. These are the warriors which defend the mind-body against any foreign invaders entering into it. This is how the whole mind-body-cellular-molecular structure is made permanently harmonious and blissfully healthy.

We will translate psalm 46-10 “be still and know that I am God” more comprehensively toward the end of this article. It will explain just how important this particular psalm is for humans at this unprecedented time. But, for now, by way of adding context, let us discern upon how wildlife carries out its corresponding duties for their survival, and how humans, as the superior beings, compare.

The birds, bees and the fish

Have you ever observed a flock of birds rapidly swoop upwards in to the sky and suddenly spiral downwards in an instant? Similarly, with shoals of fish, how they dart in one direction and then somersault in another direction instantly and simultaneously. Awesome, I’m sure you will agree. From the human perspective, bird flocking behavior is truly worth reflecting upon in the present coronavirus situation.

The question is: for what purpose are they performing in such synchronized fashion?

The answer is they are praying

Symmetrical formation flying — and rapid dash movement of fish — allows them communicate or connect with their source, their “god”, which — for all of the non-human species on earth — is Nature. In other words, Nature provides the birds and all land animals, including the marine life, with all they need to “know” on survival in their present environment.

Symmetrical vee formation flying by other birds, is also for the same reason: they’re in contact with their guiding source for repenising energy-fuel for their migratory journey. Such is how they receive vital intuitive guidance to feeding places along the way.

‘Flocking’ puts birds into anticipatory mode, they ‘anticipate’ — let’s call this anticipation bird faith or prayer — and then, once this intuitive change commences, is picked up within the flock consciousness – generated by Nature – then change of direction spreads instantaneously though the whole flock in a wave of dynamical intelligence. Flock flying represents group awareness, where no individual bird is in charge. It’s how they keep updated, about each other and the latest survival information.

Then we have the wonderful bees.

Regarded as a social insect, bees are workers, flying solely for a group reason which is to feed and nourish the hive. They don’t fly for the love of flying but simply to find nectar and then return it so that the hive benefits.

Because we’re all connected to the same universal life-force, when we think about it, the concept of birds, fish and insects praying makes so much spiritual-evolution sense. There are just so many ‘praying’ existences taking place simultaneously within this beautiful Eco-system of witch much is ignored or taken for granted. And have you noticed, among all the diversities of nature’s inhabitants – big and tiny — they never set out to harm or disrupt the natural environment. If only human-kind could be like that, we may well ask.

Materialism

So, what has nature-nurturing to do with the present world pandemic: Coronavirus.

Well, as we shall see, it has a lot to do with it, particularly with regards to how humans may benefit from the approach adapted by our co-inhabitants here on earth.

As mentioned earlier, flocking birds, honey bees and shoal fish, and many other species, do not operate individually while in prayer, rather everything is intended toward natural flock or group species survival

Now this article is not about nation-bashing, far from it. But consumerism globally would seem to be out of control, and it doesn’t feel right

This coronavirus treat is schooling us in a survival lesson: Nature is trying to tell us something profoundly subtle in very harsh and crude detail..On one level, amidst all the suffering, the opportunity for change arises. And while coronavirus will pass yes, it’s message of change will linger until we’ve each taken the nature-message on-board mentally.

Similarly with global warming, we’re going to have to come to terms with a new beginning, a new set of basic or home truths, a new order of material priorities, in short, a new order of consciousness.

Take material objects for instances and the present consumerism explosion. In meeting this unwarranted material product demand, technology is having to expand beyond what many consumers can healthily handle both mentally and emotionally. Not to mention the long-term effects of plastic on the environment.

The emphasis seems to be on powerful nations becoming solely interested in maintaining its own ‘patriotic’ dominance, as if the rest of the world flock doesn’t exist or doesn’t matter in the global equation. That, geographically, certain people get food-fed while others less fortunate can be ignored.

Narrowing it down

Let’s say, by way of explanation, there is this macro national dominance mind-set, and within that there is the micro self-interest only mind-set. One is feeding off the other and the cycle of national dominance alongside individual self-interest only continue unabated. Now, of course, there’s nothing wrong with furthering individual and national creativity, in fact, it’s perfectly natural for humans to be creative — this is how we’re wired. But this over-emphasis on ‘me’ mine’ ‘ours’ has reached saturation point.

Nature’s innate intelligence has picked up on this: that something is out of balance on this planet.

Reached our cycle limit

Materialism, illusion, and its associated level of consciousness, has taken humanity to its furthest point of this particular greed-conquer-illusion cycle. And while it’s through cycles of evolution that humanity progresses, at the quantum level, in human evolution terms, it’s not really about survival of the fittest, or, who can become the strongest and most powerful nation, corporation or individual, or who among us can fly the highest faith flag.

Coronavirus is reminding of what we’ve been over-looking, which is: Nature doesn’t forget – it reflects back to us exactly what we send out. Thus, Nature’s message, for our greater good, is to realign and develop a spiritual-cosmic consciousness.

In this area, the enlightened Rishis of ancient India I believe knew the true secret of reality. But somewhere along the long corridor of time this pure wisdom has been mangled and diluted into meaning something entirely different. Lost in translation, we could say.

This pandemic is reminding that our priorities are all mixed up and out of synchronization with the natural laws of Nature. These laws are real and definite and require strict adherence to. Depending on the mind-set, they will serve us either positively or negatively. Thus be careful of how our mind’s are being formed and conditioned..

We’ve become artificialized

Humanity has become over-burdened mentally and emotionally thus creating many kinds of new and unnatural strains and stressors within the human physiology.

The conditioned mind-set appears, that, simply by taking certain medications, everything will be OK. A programmed mind-set, that, once these problems are masked artificially, in a pharmacological sense, then this is fine. But it’s not fine. Because these mind-sets don’t just go away, they’ve become subconscious patterns or addiction mind-sets. Thus, proliferation of symptom-ignorance conditioning continues in perpetuity.

We’ve become almost sense-deadened — artificiality is the new king. This human numbness to reality and the natural environment has led to chronic accumulations of anger and discontent within the human psyche. It has come to the point, that, our once means of natural happiness have become blocked by commercialism and exploitation. Rather than happiness being a simple natural choice of will, much of this outlet has morphed into industries which for many can lead to addictive and compulsive patterns of behavior.

Even much of the ‘smart’ progress sadly, for many, is at the expanse of natural soul development and inter-personal activity. People are now walking and staring hypnotic-like into a fantasy world for the latest illusory world gossip.

What standard of evolution does this represent?

Ascension Consciousness

We’re each created for Ascension unto God-Consciousness. This process takes place within. Spiritual ignorance is what blocks progress in this area. We’re not designed for remaining at base camp level of ignorance indefinitely. To initiate Ascension out of spiritual ignorance, a calibration of mind is required. This being a silent integratory journey, it all begins with mental stillness.

Materially speaking, everything changes. But, conversely, at our core soul level, we’re each Changeless, immortal and eternal. We’re each the eternal Spirit.Therefore, this Ascension process leads to spiritualizing the body and awareness into knowing the Changeless Christ Standard within consciousness. Thus, attachment to the material world and self-interest only, is contrary to our true nature. This ‘contrary’ behavior clings and obscures our Immortal Christ nature.

In eastern culture, which I believe is more advance in the area of spiritual soul development, this ignorance or attachment to materialism, is known as Maya – false identification.

When we consider the lives of the great historical saints and sages of all cultures, and how they approached life, surely getting back to basics would represent major spiritual evolution for this generation too and beyond.

In progressing soul evolution, silence indeed is the loudest form of prayer, it epitomizes ‘back to mental basics..

In dealing with the coronavirus situation, every single person makes an actually difference — including teenagers and younger. Each play their part in bringing about global coherence at this time of great need. The fact is, each meditating soul affects many thousands of the non-meditating community. And if these meditations were synchronized locally, the benefits world-wide would be enormous.

Now that’s a prayer worth engaging in.

Stillness is the way

The first duty of each raindrop — on falling from the cloud — is seeking reunification with the ocean. To this end, practically, the raindrop answers only to gravity – gravity is the medium through which the raindrop reunites with its source, ocean.

For humans, stillness is the way.

Psalm 46-10 is here revealing the medium through we can each reunite consciously with Source. And how we can gain direct communion in God-nature by being inner still.

Be still and Know that I am God – Psalm 46-10 — In translation:

“Be still” is to be still mentally, surrender all inner struggle, “and know”, meaning gain direct experience of transcendental silence, “that I am”, existence, or conscious Now awareness, “God”, eternally vibrating higher-self consciousness.

It’s this dynamic of experiential vibrational silence — such as with Aum, Om. or God — which, when chanted, or recited silently, activates the subtle intelligence for experiential contact with Transcendent Supreme Being.

The important point is, God is a Verb (vibrational) and not a noun (not a static title). Therefore, the word God has a specific vibrational resonance or quality, and it’s this vibrational resonance that the psalmist is informing us to know directly within consciousness. This vibrational resonance in essence is experiential alive Unconditional love, which state reflects Christ-consciousness

From the mire of spiritual ignorance, vibrational ‘I’ becomes the Risen soul which knows — experiences — transcendentally, divinely, immortally.

Lying beyond the relative world of phenomenal existence, transcendental silence brings about unison of soul with eternal Transcendent.God.

All that remains now is for this meditational stillness to be expressed through the body-physiology, particularly through the heart chakra. This is necessary in order to root our expression as automatic behavior in the nervous system.

Finally, in fulfilling this scripture within consciousness — and in conjunction with World Health Organization guidlines — not only are we raising the standard of our own spiritual life dramatically but, through the increase of antibodies or white blood cells into our immune system, we’re also combating the spread-treat of coronavirus immensely at personal and global level. Blessings.

I read recently, about a group of people who became lost in the wildest region of the jungle, and were in great danger. The leader of the group bravely suggested that we might pray. To which, someone replied ‘oh, no, has it come to that’?

Generally speaking, whenever the term prayer is mentioned, it conjures up petitioning words to God. And, of course there is nothing whatever wrong with this positive approach. Accept, after we’ve put out our ‘urgent’ petitioning words there is this perceived delay period, of waiting for God to evaluate matters, weigh up the facts and then respond in some way to our words.

But, there are many wonderful verses in scripture — with regard to our overall concerns — which direct our attention to that of silent prayer activity.

The Bible further reminds us of the need to be healthy in every aspect of our Being — of mind, body and soul – that all three elements are to be functioning harmoniously. The Bible is more than a great work of spiritual insight for the mind to muse over, for mental comfort or ego gratification.

But, with regard to the present threat to human well-being, where does the Bible provide direct practical assistance in our defense against the coronavirus?

It’s time now to really stretch the Bible’s interpretations beyond narrow religiosity and literalism, and expand its interpretation into general physiology-relating areas. I mean, when the scriptures were being compiled — by the learned of the day — they too must have been confronted with ‘plagues’, or viruses of that era.

So, in this context, in biblical language, where specifically does it tell us how we may deal successfully with the situation that now threatens the well-being of the individual soul globally? Where in the Bible can we turn to with certainty beyond petitioning words.

For being spectacularly obvious, I’ve chosen first, Ephesians 6-11-16 and later, Matthew 25:40-45 as prime qualifying examples regards defense against coronavirus.

“So put on God’s Armour Now” Ephesians: 6-13

Regards coronavirus, relating esoterically to these chosen scriptures is of the utmost importance, in fact, it’s vital!

Ephesians 6-11 further states: “put on all the Armour that God gives you, so that you will be able to stand up against the devil’s evil tricks”.

And again Ephesians 6-16 “at all times carry faith as a shield; for with it you will be able to put out all the burning arrows shot by the evil one”.

When we read “put on ALL the Armour that God gives you”, and, ‘put on God’s Armour now’, how does all this then fit, in relation to coronavirus?

Literal reading of these scriptures don’t offer the immediate assistance demanded globally, but, esoterically, they do, as we shall see soon.

At this point, we need to introduce the word antibodies. For, when we talk of God’s full Armour, this Armour is referring to strengthening our immune system which comprises antibodies known as immunoglobulins or immune blood cells. These antibodies are the miracle workers which carryout God’s work within the physical body, and have done so for thousands of years BC.

Stress

The enemy to a healthy immune system basically is chronic stress: unabated stress is public enemy number one to the immune system. Putting on God’s Armour therefore initially involves combating stress and eliminating it from our system. We do this by activating the flow of serotonin – the happy hormone — in the brain, which, in the process, produces more and more antibodies to defend against any virus entering our body. Without a healthy-functioning immune system, the body, and all its health-giving workers, the antibodies, are left to the ravishes of the antigens.

It’s these antibodies, the good guys, or immunoglobulins, which ensure against the antigens, the bad guys, from depleting or weakening our immune system.

The next verse makes this point even more clearer.

Matthew: 25-40 “Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me”

This scripture is truly the greatest verse for assistance regards the present global situation. It has always fascinated me. And even more fascinating is that much of this information was dramatically expounded so long ago by the great Socrates, and also by the ancient enlightened Rishis of India, from where much of today’s Christianity originated.

The obvious and most compelling question is: who are ‘the least of these my brethren’? Truly this is ‘the’ most critical question.

The answer

‘the least of my brethren’ are the atoms, the molecules, the cells, in the body.

The atom is the smallest unit of matter and retains all the chemicals of an element. Thus, the atom can be referred to as pure energy-matter. A typical atom consists of protons, neurons, and electrons.

The atom cannot be destroyed but only transformed. In other words, our entire energy-physicality field can undergo change from a lower vibratory state to a higher vibratory state, but can never be destroyed.

Now, of course, there are many fine morally-based reasons for being kind to other people who may be less well-off spiritually, mentally or even financially, than ourselves. That goes without saying. We don’t need a scripture to remind of us that – it’s in our DNA.

Thus, the words ‘the least’ and ‘brethren’ are reference to the individual atoms and molecules, the molecular/ cellular structure which make up the body’s indestructible eternal energy force pattern.

Without healthy molecular/cellular formation, of course, we cannot know healthy physicality. And, through this mind-physicality dynamic, any activity which causes ‘brethren’ or atom/molecule/cell suffering and decline from optimal functioning, is equivalent to our doing unto our own inner Christ, which potential Christ expression resides within each atom/molecule/cell.

Any ignorance-induced life-style which prevents healthy atom proliferation into becoming a spiritually functioning unit, is doing unto the least, or, we doing unto our own Christ within. We do this unwittingly and spectacularly by lowering the standard of our neuroendocrine system and its participation in producing healthy immune cells in the body temple.

Matthew 26:44-45 qualifies this unwitting behavior even more amazingly. “Then they will answer him, when, Lord, did we ever see you hungry or thirsty, or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and would not help you? The King will reply, I tell you, whenever you refused to help one of these least important ones, you refused to help me.”

In other words, it’s during the stillness of meditation, when transcendental silence is potently to the fore, that each of ‘the least’ — the atoms, cells, molecules — become nourished, showered and cloth in immune strength, consequent of a divinely-empowered Thymus gland and its outpourings of mature antibodies into the blood flow.

What Matthew 26-40-45 boils down to is a lesson in quantum physics, and is particularly relating to the neuroendocrine system, or the glandular system. This scripture is not anything about the literal-religion teachings most of us have been brainwashed into believing.

As expounded here in Matthew, the emphasis now globally is on the need to increase immune-cell activity into the body.

Building Immunity within

While the Armour of God also includes faith, such faith, of course, has to be developed over time. Thus, for many people, the development of spiritual faith is seen as long-term, therefore is not particularly straight forward for some at this time. For dealing with coronavirus today, many are in need of an immediate practical approach, solution, one that works effectively at the atom/cellular/molecular level. But, of course, in practicing the method I’m about to reveal, one’s faith — from whatever culture or generation we’re expressing through – will automatically be activated.

Thus God has unconditionally given ALL people, in ALL generations, the ALL for practically dealing with vital health issues. These viral events happened many times in history before, and is why they’re mentioned in scriptures.

The God-Given Method of achieving a healthy immune system

This, of course, is not a medical overview, obviously. Rather it’s the accumulation of spiritual knowledge based on my own meditative experiences and Self-revelation understanding of the scriptures from their practical perspective.

The practical means, therefore, of dealing with the present world situation, is daily meditation. Meditation essentially is seated yoga also known as Raja Yoga, meaning, ‘Royal Union’. But don’t get caught-up in these fancy descriptive titles. It’s the practice and results that matter totally.

Repeated daily meditation dissolves stress, which in turn allows for production of extra vital antibodies. Which in turn scavenge away any foreign invader(s) antigens which may be thinking of taking up residence in our body due to the invite-nature of residual stress. In other words, don’t make our body attractive to antigens by storing accumulations of deep stress brought on by unresolved emotional issues and wrong life-style choices. Thus prevention eliminates the need for cure.

Often referred to as the ‘floating brain’, thus a healthy functioning immune system knows only to dissuade, disarm and destroy any foreign invaders (antigens) from entering our body — effectively and efficiently.

To further strengthen the immune system, the body, in meditation, secretes Growth Hormone from the pituitary gland. This naturally-occurring process declines with age, hence the need of meditation for its continued vital production.

The Method and how to do it

To start, sit on a chair. Commence with a few left-right alternate nostril breathing: breath in through left nostril and out through right nostril, breath back in through right nostril and out breath again through left nostril – complete about 3-4 repetitions over a two-minute period. In yogic terms, this is known as pranayama. This practice helps induce calm while also oxygenating the brain cells.

Remaining seated, now, with palms facing upwards, thumb and index fingers joined easily, bring the awareness lightly between the eyebrows. Do not force an experience. Just park the awareness here for now.

When feeling settled, repeat the biblical word: Ma-Ra-Na-Tha quietly and silently to oneself. This mantra simply means ‘come holy spirit’. The mantra is only a means of quietening the mind, it does not have any other purpose whatever.

If the mind drifts — and it will, this is normal — pause for a couple of seconds, then calmly, without rushing, bring the awareness back to the mantra and recommence thinking/hearing the mantra silently within. Repeat this momentary ‘pause’ after each ‘mind drift’. This, with practice, deepens the meditative experience.

Start with at least ten minutes per session building up to twenty minutes twice daily. Make this a daily routine of our life.

With repeated practice, the brain/body mechanisms – particularly the Thymus gland — become trained in producing extra amounts of mature antibodies for which to attack and disarm ANY virus from entering our inner territory. And, if we can meditate three times daily, fine, this will further increase antibody production from the Thymus gland – also known as T-cells for this reason. Thus we have the means now of re-enforcing the immune system even greater against coronavirus.

Gradually, as we advance with our daily meditation, a feeling of spiritual growth, of expansion, begins to emerge within consciousness. An understanding, that, yes, none of these viruses can really touch me now. The Armour of God is truly on and my immune system is becoming invincible! The least of my brethren are now dancing and smiling joyfully in praise and thanks-giving!

When Luke 6:31-35 is broken down practically, the emphasis most definitely shifts from the non-participatory to one of a definite hands-on approach. It’s then that we undoubtedly come upon vital additional navigational skills for skippering our soul into Divine harbor.

In its literal understanding, this scripture of course has value, in that, it brings awareness to a universal principle of, what we give out comes back to us: the law of action and reaction, or, the law of cause and effect, also known as the Golden Rule.

But, when examined more closely, the scripture is not really making a statement on outer social behavior, not adjudicating on something that is patently obvious to humans. I mean, how many of us reflect moment by moment on a universal law, or memory reference topics from our physics classroom days?

It’s so easy to just read this scripture and then associate it simplistically as something to be consigned to memory only, and in the process, forego the practicalities involved in its actualization. In other words, intellectual knowledge alone of this scripture is not sufficient. There has to be a tangible method of fulfilling it beyond merely agreeing with it in moral selective ways.

In this context, regards its practical implementation into our live, there is need of a deeper interpretive instruction, regards this scripture.

This article sets context, then, as separate from the scripture’s literal interpretation, reveals how we may apply it in super life-changing ways, as intended.

Unraveling codified scripture

Scriptures, as we know, are heavily codified. They’re not explanatory statements of historical events or relating to certain people. They’re not intended to be taken literally, of referencing either past or future, time-wise. They’re parables, or, metaphorical concepts of conveying deeper insight to self-realization. Therefore, scriptures are pointing within, to the inner aspects of mind, body, soul. In this context, their deeper understanding is veiled by means of codification. This is so, that we may reflect and take conscious steps in seeking answers from within ourselves – known as Self-referral — as separate from adherence to the ‘natural man’ inherited programming, we’re each born into.

Thus, allegorical presentation is necessary, for Truth cannot be conveyed to us directly through written words. While books of course are essential, even vital, Truth is ultimately come upon as Revelation from within ourselves, as direct experiencing.

Natural Man

The biblical term, ‘natural man’, is that level of lower-self, non-spiritually developed consciousness, which exists prior to Self-realization. In this context, natural man cannot become spiritual man / woman merely through selective acts of kindness through the lower-ego level of awareness, or by just thinking he / she is spiritually developed. In other words, a thought of God does not amount to the experience of God. So, unless this scripture fulfills spiritually from within, interpretation of it is through the natural man state of consciousness, of selective conscience appeasing.

Luke 6:31-35, raises an immediate question: who are these ‘others’ as in ‘do unto others as we would have others do unto us’?

To answer: this scripture is not referring to the literal obvious of ‘doing unto other physical people, so they may reciprocate positively unto us’.

In fulfilling Luke 6:31-35, there is need therefore of tangible inner ‘doing’, a process of karmic-nullifying work to be carried-out.

How then can we perform karmic-nullifying work, how can we evolve beyond the ‘natural man’ ‘Garden of Gethsemane level of consciousness, thereby fulfill this scripture spontaneously?

Enlivening the deeper consciousness

Esoterically, “do unto others” is referencing a process of ‘inner doing unto our own inner-self’. A process of inner spiritual development, of enlivening the deeper consciousness cosmically. A process leading to the entire body-temple mechanisms – the 12 inner faculties — becoming sparked into a functioning dynamic established in Christ: that of bringing the inner mechanisms, the temple, into a cosmically-functioning unit, whereby natural man consciousness can be raised into the Christ-realized standard.

In this regard, enlivening the deeper consciousness provides the greatest means of rebuilding the temple from within, from the cellular level, thereby releasing the hidden secrets of Christ potential unto our heart and mind for practical manifestation purposes in our daily life.

Service

At this point, let us introduce the word ‘service’. ‘Service’, in this context, is that which is spontaneously rendered unto the inner faculties. Service here means utter silence, the causal dynamic of enlivening, or rebuilding, the deeper consciousness. Silence is not static. Silence is the great purifier, the great conscience neutralizer. Silence is a powerful inner activity, which, when encountered purely, stimulates reorientation of the consciousness transcendentally, the nullifying Power of karmic carryover. Silence therefore re-calibrates the consciousness and the entire body’s inner systems.

In the psychological and physiological context, the inner faculties, on becoming awakened spiritually — also known as the disciples or followers of Christ — serve as the temple builder. In this process, consciousness becomes served whereby our every thought, word and deed is performed through a spiritual-cosmic orientation, representing vital soul evolution into the Higher realm, into Higher-self I Am potential.

As the criteria of right action – of ‘doing rightly unto others’ — can only be determined through our own Christ-attuned faculties, these inner faculties therefore are those God-given means of rebuilding our temple spiritually. They are the means through which we can individually know and experience direct Risen Christ consciousness through every cell of our Risen temple.

Christ-attuned faculties, are how heart and mind distinguish between right action and wrong action, between positive and negative emotion, between opinionated lower-ego activity and spiritual-soul discerning. The genesis of right action can always be tracked to silence.

What are these Faculties?

Functioning as an interactive unit, the 12 faculties represent potential of full Christ expression. Biblically referred to as the 12 sons of Jacob – Jacob, symbolizing the non-spiritually awakened soul, and the 12 sons symbolizing the 12 non-spiritually developed aspects or faculties of that soul — the natural man level. It’s through these character-forming faculties that the soul fulfills its total potential, its full creative expression.

Other faculties, located along the spine, are the seven chakras, or energy points, which, when activated, open the pathway for Kundalini life force to rise from the base chakra located at the bottom of the spine, to the crown chakra at the top of the head. This universal life force, on reaching the top of the head, awakens the vital pineal and pituitary glands, a level referred to in yogic terms as Samadhi or Enlightenment — mature capacity of spiritual discernment.

Activation of this brain-cranial nerves chakra-glandular dynamic, from their basic natural man serving, into higher spiritual service, remains individual responsibility.

Inner service is also the symbolism behind Jesus washing the apostle’s feet, meaning, cleansing the understanding to function at the Higher realms of discernment, whereby the ‘natural man’ intellect is made resolute in a unified method of joined-up thinking and decision-making.

Five Senses

Because outer perception is governed by inner perception, other faculties such as the five ordinary senses of perception — touch, taste, smell, sight, hearing – are also in need of quickening, desensitizing away from compulsion to instant sense gratification in the material world.

This is what is meant when Jesus said: “bring them (the five loaves/ five senses) to Him (Christ within) Matthew:14-18. The two fish generally symbolize two opposing states of self in need of integration — higher and lower self. This is achieved through left / right brain coherence, resulting in the fully functioning pineal and pituitary glands, located in the brain.

So, back to the scripture in question “do unto others as we would have them do unto us”. When viewed esoterically, the hidden message becomes obvious: if we wish to serve from a cosmically-aligned consciousness, then we must first serve the sources through which such nature emanates. In other words, by serving the “others” within – the inner faculties — we become served by these “others”, which is the same as: “do unto others as you would have them do unto you”, whereby the process of rebuilding our personal temple can take place.

The 12 faculty centers and their purpose

Peter – faith, as in: upon our own rock [of faith] shall we build our church, our consciousness – pineal gland / center brain.

Andrew — strength of mind, body and spiritual intention – Loins.

James — son of Zebedee, faculty of wisdom, judgement, discernment – solar plexus / pit of stomach.

John – potential of unconditional love – heart.

Philip – power, as in spiritual power through Christ within – throat, root of tongue

Bartholomew – imagination, where creative thought takes form – between the eyebrows.

Thomas – higher understanding, steady intellect – front brain.

Matthew – divine will as opposed to natural man will – center front brain.

James – order, a cosmically orientated mind-body system — naval.

Simon – zeal, enthusiasm, commitment – medulla, back of head.

Thaddeus – renunciation, elimination of habitual error through conscious denial and affirmation – abdominal region.

Judas – life conserver – generative function.

Bringing about ‘do unto others’ level of consciousness

Meditation-silence kick-starts the entire process. To begin with, it initiates inner calm and peace, which, in turn lowers the respiratory system to its lowest possible rate, whereby carbon dioxide excess into the body, is reduced dramatically.

This silence-stillness dynamic in turn reverberates throughout the mind-body temple to gradually form Now awareness, or direct present-moment knowing. Thus, while still functioning in time, we outgrow time’s clinging effect on the soul. Time becomes absorbed into eternity. The emphasis switches, whereby,Transcendental consciousness replaces ‘time’ as our master.

Meditation therefore is the process of stimulating the 12 faculties, of bringing cosmos to the overall mind-body structure, including at the cellular level. Upon entering into mental silence, the first thing we notice is the chaos, the swirling clutter of the chaotic thinking mind. Coming upon this chaotic activity without prior knowledge, has caused many a budding student of meditation to give up, saying: ‘meditation doesn’t work for me’. They say this, not knowing that this mental activity is normal to experience. Here, we may well ask: how am I to meditate through all of this mental disturbance?

The reality is, Heightened silence is ever-present. It’s simply a matter of creating a gap in the thought chain, whereby transcendental nature can gradually become infused into the nature of mind. It’s within this Heightened silence, this portal or gap, that lower-self ego cannot survive, as in, “where I go you cannot come” John: 8-21

Therefore, in the beginning of meditation practice, mental activity is normal — it’s when suppressed thoughts begin thawing and surfacing into conscious awareness, thereby, conscious integration.

Hence another biblical expression Matthew: 5-43-48 ‘love thine enemies’ – ‘enemies’ meaning our thoughts — meaning, withdrawing judgmental attention from whatever is occupying the conscious mind during meditation. But, in withdrawing attention non-judgmentally, there is no conscious effort to love our thoughts / enemies. Remaining neutral, we simply stay present to the activity in a non-involved way. It’s this act of being present within which equates to ‘love thine enemies’.

Thus, it’s by neutral observance in love-silence that the grooved mental-emotional scars, caused by compulsive wrong thinking and misuse of the imagination, over long periods of time, become healed.

Constant re-starts

The first law of the universe is, order. Therefore, it’s by this non-attached observance in meditation that chaos gradually transmutes into order – the mind becoming silence-cultured, acclimatized, or, cosmically established. Thoughts are seen as transient, passing through for witnessing, without need of their engaging.

Because utter silence amounts to inner crucifixion, the lower-ego, in its resistance, in its attempt at maintaining dominance over our free will, constantly tempts the mind back into sense gratification. Soon it becomes apparent that, meditation is a practice of constant restarts after mind-drifting. This too is normal. But, here, each restart commences from a deeper level than the distraction point – no meditation ever restarts from the same level, it never finds us where it left us. This s how we make and recognize progress. Constant restarts are which hone the intellect into becoming resolute, which facilitate experiential expansion of transcendental nature into the entire mind- body-physiology.

So, whether good / bad, positive / negative, the process remains the same, that of watching without opening any thought links.

Entering the Temple

The Bible further reminds us: Jesus — representing the awakening Spark within the soul seeking the eternal Christ Standard — entered the temple: meaning, divine presence setting about dismantling the status quo level of spiritual-ignorance within our overall consciousness. A process of spiritualizing the subconscious natural man state into one of integrated, harmonious-soul ‘order’. A process of disarming the sin-based structures of lower-self mind-sets, and a rebuilding of the entire mind-body structure into one of ‘divine life in abundance’ through Realized Christ within. Truly, this amounts to a transformation of seismic proportion within our overall awareness, spiritually.

In conclusion

When reflected upon non-literally, it becomes obvious that ‘do unto others’ is referring to the re-alignment of the 12 non-spiritually active faculties into active participation in the unfolding of divine Will through our own Resurrected creative consciousness.

This amazing parable, told by Jesus, in Luke 10:25-37, seems at first straight forward in its literal content, until, of course, we drill down and study its deeper ramifications. Cursory reading of this vital scripture, no matter how many times, or even just hearing it from time to time, is not sufficient for its intended outcome. At individual level, for manifestation of this scripture into consciousness, there is much more inner involvement required than first appears on the surface. The reality is, this message has profound implications on how we interpret heaven and eternal life daily in our life and beyond. This article, using some pivotal scriptures in the second half, may help bring clarity in these matters in more practical and relating ways.

As we can gather from the article’s title, it has two main themes: ‘love thy neighbor’ AND ‘the Good Samaritan’. Esoterically speaking, Luke 10:25-37 is here presenting a wide range of coded vital life-growth ingredients for our journey unto finding Christ within, and eternal life. On the surface level, yes, Luke 10:25-37 offers the very obvious lessons, of loving our neighbor, of being kind, moral and generous with others in our interactions, but particularly with our love. And, of course, no one would disagree with this in the slightest. But, really, did we need two vital commandments to remind us of what should be the natural expression for us humans? Surely, deep down, as intelligent beings, the highest known of God’s creation, we would figure this to be obligatory human behavior? But, Luke, here is not referring to the obvious obligatory standard of human behavior, but to something much more profound.

The fact is, that, in order to actually live obligatory human behavior — expression of love, peace, tolerance and kindness — these spiritual values would first need to be Realized directly within, meaning, direct experience of our own Resurrected Christ within.

Something not Working

When we look closely at the state of global consciousness today, and the many conflicts raging throughout the world, from the aspect of peace and ‘love they neighbor’ it becomes patently clear that something within the human species’ consciousness, is not working. Some basic scriptural translations and understandings, have not been grasped, not presented in cognizable detail. It further becomes obvious, that, preaching and generally talking to others about certain scriptures, without having first demonstrated such ourselves, is not compatible with the Bible’s Risen Christ within. In other words, ‘thinking about’ and ‘talking about’ — of sermonizing on love and peace, though truly well intentioned – effect-wise would seem not to be working in the greater global societal consciousness.

In this context — notwithstanding the massive family of spirit-empowered souls generating peace-consciousness into the world, passive participation of literal scriptures generally can amount to merely storing popular scriptures for intellectual regurgitation, thereby, to ignore the undeniable imperative of direct Christ experiencing inherent within all of scripture’s deeper interpretations.

According to Luke, so, in order to be living the above scripture in an automatic way, away from just memory referencing its content, activation of direct Christ-nature into consciousness should be a now-happening-priority. This is when vital scriptures really take form, begin crystallizing as ‘alive within’ for each of us, both in the material world and as eternity experiencing within consciousness.

Moving Beyond Limiting Belief Systems

When mature spiritual awakening begins — when all the inner mechanisms responsible for development of alive soul-based consciousness, are functioning as a Whole — then progress beyond limiting literal conditioning, beyond religious dogma, commences – we grow out of day-school. At another level, a broader range of insightful understanding begins surfacing into conscious awareness previously blocked due to subconscious programming. Spring-like activity begins clarifying perceptions of the relative and eternal realms. Newer insights sprout signifying the inner Teacher, the Holy spirit, has begun initiating consciousness in spiritual eternal matters. A state of unbounded awareness gradually replaces the previous soul-limiting belief systems, leading to an unshackled capacity of universal divine love.

This soul-freeing experience is consequent of the mind’s release from the clutches of generational subconscious conditioning. The inherited institutional, corporate and societal self-serving programming, over many life-times (more on this further down). This non-soul-serving conditioning-dynamic, maintained unwittingly by personal stress, and imposed fear-ridden misunderstandings, is directly responsible for holding the soul in bondage, in spiritual hibernation.

Bringing conscious awareness to this inner stifling, this conditioning-dynamic, therefore, is our number one job in life. The truth is, direct revelation of inner Christ awareness, requires no outsider or institutional overlaying. For, repetition of any message into mind, from wherever or from whomever, has addictive potential – such amounts to conditioning, programming, and is how the advertising industry operates and survives. They are masters at planting the message they want in our brain. Beware.

Divine nature is available to every soul when that soul ‘presents’, ‘surrenders’ in mind without expectations. In this way, Self-revelation, or, Holy Spirit, ensues, and is the way of direct Christ knowing without outsider interference. ‘Surrender’, of course, means inner meditation surrender of all mental effort in its practice. This approach reveals the how-why of our present particular life situation struggle. It disarms the automated subconscious programming responsible for all personal and global misery and suffering. This release in mental freedom, provides the clarity of mind needed by which we can develop spiritually on our journey of integration unto Resurrection and Redemption in Christ consciousness and eternal life.

Against this background, of the need of inner awakening as priority…

Let us now examine the importance of Jesus’ two commandments in Luke

Luke 10:25 puts it: A teacher of the law asked Jesus: “What must I do to receive eternal life?” Jesus answered him: “what do the scriptures say? How do you interpret them? The man answered: Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind”; and love your neighbor as you love yourself”. Jesus replied, Luke 10:28, you are right, do this and you will live”. Then the teacher of the law asked Jesus, Luke 10:29, “who is my neighbor?”

Now, this truly is a most pivotal and poignant question.

Paraphrasing in [brackets]

Jesus answered with this Parable: Luke 10:30–35

30, “A certain man [Adam, asleep soul in divine nature, living through spiritual ignorance] was going down [fall of man] from Jerusalem [higher-self] to Jericho [lower-self: spiritual fall of man]when robbers [inner demons, wrong thinking, conditioning, addictions] attacked him, striped him, [a soul functioning without conscious Christ awareness and inner Truth] and beat him up, leaving him half dead [alive only to his lower carnal mind, and dead to his higher spiritual nature, similar to Lazarus, whom Christ raised from the spiritually dead state].

31, It so happened that a priest was going down that road; but when he saw the man, he walked on by, on the other side [the priest was still functioning out of left brain and lower ego].

32, In the same way a Levitt also came along, went over and looked at the man, and then walked on by, on the other side [the Levite had not attained a capacity of true compassionate love].

33, But a Samaritan [Christ within] who was travelling that way, [Christ remains always with us, either consciously or unconsciously] came upon the man [soul in need of healing], and when he saw him his heart was filled with pity, [direct experiencing through compassionate love].

34, He went over to him [inner Christ is always available to each of us at our time of need, or, in response to intuitive seeking], poured oil [unconditional love] and wine on his wounds [that which separated soul from direct inner Christ] and bandaged them; then he put the man on his own animal [aligning the soul with Higher Self] and took him to an inn, [place of peace / love within leading to further spiritual advancement through inner awakening] where he took care of him [commencement of journey unto Christ].

35, The next day, [period of spiritual growth] he took out two silver coins [silver symbolizing medium of redemption, in this case the mediums being mind and body, our means of gaining conscious contact with Higher Self] and gave them to the innkeeper [instructed the conscious mind spiritually]. ‘Take care of him’ he told the innkeeper, ‘and when I come back this way, [symbolizing second coming of Christ; Christ Realized within consciousness]. I will pay you whatever else you spent on him’ [soul gaining eternal life through Christ within].

Tangible Consciousness Transformation

“Love thy neighbor as thy self” is here referencing the requirement of ‘loving thy inner neighbor’, meaning, the integration process of merging lower-self neighbor into becoming One neighbor in higher self – Jerusalem — without the ignorance nature of Jericho.

Esoterically, Luke 10:25-37 is proclaiming a need of tangible consciousness transformation out of the Adam / lower ego Jericho state into direct awareness experience of our own inner Christ, depicted here as the Good Samaritan – they are one and the same. When Christ / Good Samaritan consciousness is Mature within, then automatically will loving our lower neighbor, Jericho, be happening UNCONDITIONALLY on a Higher level within.

Unconditional love is the big one, for, it’s not based on belief systems, religious dogma or creeds. Rather, Unconditional love is the pure ingredient of Good Samaritan status. Unconditional love is the awakened soul’s out-flowing of true compassionate love, not just for selected ones such as family members, but a universal state of Heart. Unconditional love is when the dominant lower ego is absent naturally, which was not the case with the Levi and the Priest.

Life’s Purpose

In qualifying the previous section, let us remind ourselves of Isaiah. When Isaiah 11:6 stated ‘the Lion (lower self / lower ego) shall lay down with the Lamb’ (higher self or indwelling Christ), this is referring to inner merging, this inner unifying process. ‘The Lion’ would be seen as King (of the jungle), hence the title, King Herod, representing the lower human ego. This unifying of higher and lower self, mentioned in scripture, is our individual life-purpose on earth. In this context, according to Luke 10:25-37 no matter what status in material or religious /spiritual life we’ve achieved, without the flowing healing presence of Unconditional Christ-Love, then our Good Samaritan connection within the mind, body, soul, remains at ‘fall of man’ level. Attainment of Wholeness — Wholeness of mind, body Spirit – therefore, is prerequisite of gaining ‘love thy neighbor’ status. In other words, without expression of Authentic Christ-infused compassionate love, then man-apportioned titles, religious or societal, amount to nothing.

The term ‘Good’, of course, does not mean the opposite of bad. Rather, Good is similar to the ‘Good’ News Bible, meaning, Off God, off Good nature, or, teachings of an awakening Christ within.

Steps of Contacting Good Samaritan and Pure Silence

The question arises: how do we carry-out the integration steps necessary for coming upon conscious Presence, conscious Wholeness, conscious Higher Self, conscious Christ, conscious Eternity? How do we love lower neighbor AS our higher-self neighbor?

Well, thankfully, WE don’t do it. Rather, the integration process is carried on at another level, or, Transcendentally.

But, there is practicality involvement in this process, on our part.

The first step in this process of integration, is, establishing ‘contact point’ in mind, which, is initiated by mental stillness. This ‘contact point’ then merges or transcends into Pure Silence, which then develops into expanded awareness.

Mental stillness, or, meditation, creates and establishes this ‘contact point’ of Now in the brain, which Now contact, over time, expands into conscious infinity, into Mature Christ or eternity consciousness. In this way, ‘contact point’ in Now awareness acts as a trigger for the asleep soul’s alarm clock to vibrate, thereby awakening the individual out of spiritual slumber – think Lazarus again — unto our core nature of eternal life. Without conscious contact with Pure Now Silence, leading to expanded timeless awareness, the conscious mind remains individual, without the cosmic, all-encompassing dimension. Remains intellectual only, remains prisoner in time-bound lower-self, or, spiritual ignorance.

“You cannot go where I am going” John: 8-21

The reason why ‘contact’ with Higher Self in meditation is so vital, is that, the love emanating from lower self is not one and the same standard as divine love, which, as we said, is Unconditional Christ love. Therefore, in setting out towards gaining Unconditional love, it’s necessary that we enter fully into its actual experience. As we cannot give ourselves, or express Unconditional Divine love through a lower state, such as the carnal mind, we must then transcend this lower nature by an inner-crucifying process, which is the hidden message within John 8-21: “You (lower ego) cannot go, (in ego’s present state) where I (transcendental Christ nature) am going” – meaning, lower ego must be crucified.

This place where Jesus is going, as mentioned here in John 8:21, is in regard to the Higher Self, transcending into the eternity of Christ within consciousness. The “you”, referred to by Jesus, represents the lower ego, which in its entirety comprises the 12 cranial nerves or, the 12 non spiritually awakened apostles. These 12 apostles or 12 tribes of Israel, are within each of us. They represent the lower personality aspects of our natural man soul which are in need of integration into a spiritually functioning realm. In other words, the son of man, or, the lower-self, before becoming the Sod of God, Higher Self, must undergo crucifixion, leading to healing and renewal of vital nerve channels or mechanisms within. This in turn opens the links unto the Holy Spirit, the Helper, the Teacher, or, Revelation dynamic into the mind, which in turn brings about direct Christ awareness, or Divine Presence.

This integration – or, crucifying dynamic — is mentioned also in Matthew 17:1-13 “Transfiguration on the Mount (transformation of lower nature into higher consciousness)”; meaning, Transfiguration of Peter, (ego) James, (mental mechanisms), and John, (human love)”.

Silence meditation is pivotal regards these last two scriptures. It’s during the mediation Now silence practice that our individual identity (the lower ego and all its associated false persona activity) ceases, become crucified. Our consciousness gradually becoming transformed, infused of Pure Silence, Joy, which equates to Divine Good Samaritan nature. It’s this ‘contact’ with Pure Silence that establishes Eternity as tangible Presence within consciousness; which tangibility permeates into every muscle, nerve and cell of the body – the eternal Youthful affect.

Many Births – what is this?

Each transcending encounter connects with Pure Silence or, Higher Self. And, on coming out of meditation, the mind returns to its individuality, which we lose during the practice period. Such returning – after dying to lower-self — signifies a new birth. New birth, spiritually speaking, therefore means, a new or changed overall person within. Transcendental Silence thus has transformed lower ego mind – son of man — into Christ Standard functioning. Thus, on our individual journey, of consciously finding our Higher Self, we must lose, or die to, the lower-self nature, in meditation. Repeated carrying out of this process, of losing and gaining, inner dying and Resurrection, is our means of achieving Wholeness of Consciousness referred to in Luke 10:25-37. ‘Many births’ therefore, means, many meditation journeys into deep Now silence via mental stillness – where lower ego personality dies — then on re-emergence robed with a new spiritual personality.

Post Meditation Activity

Finally, in making eternal Presence or Now consciousness the permanent state of Being, then, post meditation engagement in some gentle mental or physical activity, is necessary. Post meditation activity is essential, in that, it establishes capacity for intuitive-based feelings to become ‘set-up’ on our nervous system. It cultures, not only the nervous system into withstanding the on-flow of blissful happiness and deep peace, but also awakens the five senses of ordinary perception into Heightened functionality; becoming re-orientated away from their habitual patterns of unconscious behavior. Also, post meditation activity helps brings about that vital resolute intellect, the unwavering mind rooting itself in single mindedness – Matthew 6:22 “if thine eye be single”. Thereby, stability of thought, stability of thinking, stability of hearing and seeing divinely resulting in right thinking and soul-based decision. Further making spontaneity of Good Samaritan expression real in our daily life.

People who suffer mostly in life, both mentally and physically, are souls in complete ignorance of their Higher Self nature. This Higher Self realm, while lying beyond phenomenal existence, is present within each of us. In other words, being eternally Now or transcendental, Higher Nature never encounters time, space and causation. Remaining always transcendental, therefore, nothing of an imperfect lower nature can ever be a part of Its Pure state. By means of the human soul, the purpose-journey of individual life is encountering and establishing this state of Perfection within, to be termed faith-consciousness.

The obvious question is: how do we attain a conscious connection with Perfection. The answer is simple, by transformation of our lower nature. Although innately present within each person, attaining direct contact with Perfection is a matter of first understanding what is causing blockage of this heavenly state into consciousness.

How we remove blockage in more detail is revealed in the second part of this article.

First, let us add context to more general cause of blockage. For generations, through the various religions with their non-cognizable dogmas, this natural potential within has been shrouded in mystery and confusion by controlling the mind-sets of people: that heaven is not attainable here on earth, but later. Soul-clogging statements as these are totally misleading and utterly incorrect. Consequent of religious indoctrination such as this, many then deny their inner Christ. By not cognizing Reality through a clear non-indoctrinated mind, people remain ignorant of their true faith potential. Many cannot relate intellectually to others’ non-religious terms, like Christ within, and other such terms, even though developing this state within is what all the scriptures are alluding to, albeit in codified format. This coded format, sadly, was seized upon by the early church to control the masses in one’s beliefs. The reality is, there is a simultaneous dimension to human existence already in place. But that this Higher state has to be uncovered, come upon from within at individual level and lived NOW as awakening soul, and not in some future time space. ‘Future-time’ does not exist in the eternal transcendental Now.

Of course, ignorance of divine nature within, at physical birth, is normal. But carrying such throughout our lives indefinitely is not the intention of the Creator. Ignorance of Higher nature is present only that we may grow out of it, consciously, by means of crucifying the lower conditioned ego.

Refusing or ignoring to grow out of spiritual ignorance amounts to repetitive suffering by choice. Which suffering amounts to sin.

The opposite of suffering is healing and spiritual well-being. Spiritual healing – of ignorance – is carried-out by divine authority, by the ever-perfecting life-force residing within each of us. Such healing, being of divine standard, requires purification of the body’s inner faculties. When free-flowing through the mind, body and spirit, this divine energy validates faith-consciousness tangibly, no conditioning, no dogma required. In fact, union with this universal life-force is what the Bible is actually alluding to. Sadly, literal interpretation of Scripture, I feel, is causal of so much apathy in this whole area of Christ within, and, Heaven now. Is it not said, ‘the kingdom of heaven is within’? Therefore, by means of going within, this ever-perfecting life-force stirs the human soul — the inner faculties — into awakening, resulting in transformation into Higher Self. Think caterpillar becoming the butterfly: the caterpillar has performed the required work of consuming itself for the purpose of forming butterfly status. Similarly, our own past, stemming over many lifetimes, is consumed by this inner life force in order that our Higher Eternal Self, or Christ-nature, be formed in consciousness.

Difference between Faith and Belief

So, the question arises, is faith required in order to receive healing to allow for transformation? The answer is, No, but, let me expand.

Because faith is consequent of spiritual awakening, thus faith is revealed unto consciousness initially as gentle peaceful silence, after which, by living it, faith grows to become full-grown. This revealing of faith unto consciousness is by way of culturing the nervous system into withstanding the pure Present Moment, or, Promised Land awareness, which awareness, when rooted, transmutes to unconditional love, compassion, fulfilment, or, Faith. Faith then is an extension of active deep meditational silence which, when lived through the nervous system, consciousness becomes established permanently AS every-moment faith, now and eternally, not at some later time.

When — through the mind’s constant exposure to inner silence — faith becomes maturely established, then all aspects of practical life reflect faith in action. Then is God, Life, our Higher Self experienced as One. No longer is God perceived as separate, as somewhere ‘out there, up there’. Consequent of our daily spiritual work, ‘out there’ God becomes localized as ‘in there’ Presence. When ‘in there’ is no longer confined to the limited human body, rather as universal consciousness – everywhere simultaneously. The question of separation – pertaining through original ignorance – is no longer valid as now there is Union. The tombstone of ignorance has been rolled back as inner and outer — Cain and Abel — become harmoniously integrated as God-consciousness.

Faith at this level of course has nothing whatever to do with formal religious faith, respectfully. The reality is, because faith is the eternal nature of every soul, we’re not dependent on being given it by any religious denomination through persuasion or otherwise. And, although the faith seed is present within each from physical birth, it has to be sprouted, then nourished by means of our daily spiritual development practice.

Again, faith is not the same as belief. What many call belief is really selective mental acceptance. In other words, selective belief by means of conditioning regards specific geographical locations or, in particular people. Such belief, while positive, of course, is man-made, conditional, usually associated with previously installed belief systems; in what others have instructed or indoctrinated us in, or, what we’ve been emotionally exposed to by friends, even family, or preached to while in attentive silence. This can also be termed programming. In this context, I’m sure many of us remember – prior to spiritual awakening — periods in our life when we were as adults flapping around like children in the river of life. In other words, before Self-realization we were each inner functioning between good and bad, tears and laughter, suffering and happiness through previously installed or inherited understanding. A capacity of unwitting deviation from divine nature, due to conditioned false belief systems dominating subconsciously in our lives.

Let us look more specifically at what may be blocking personal experiencing of unconditional faith.

Sadhana and Awakening unto Faith-Consciousness

Spiritual nature is experienced when the inner faculties responsible for such are activated to maximum functionality, enabling Higher Self assimilate through consciousness tangibly. These faculties are aspects of the soul or human personality and known as the 12 Cranial nerves in the brain, plus the seven energy or Chakra centres along the spinal column. These centres are means of spiritual growth and are specifically set up by the Creator with the sole purpose of the human soul migrating from lower earth-bound life into experiencing eternal Higher Soul status.

On the way to this eternal state, many fine books can be read and which can be of enormous benefit– including my own. But, alas, such readings can only ever act as sign posts – including the Bible and other Scriptures. Nothing we read actually provides direct experience of what we’re intuitively seeking, direct experiencing of our Higher Nature, now. Eventually we must put the books down and begin the required practical work of daily participation in deep mental silence, and, if necessary, dealing with other situations to be covered shortly.

Personal spiritual work is also known as our Sadhana, a Hindi word meaning ‘devotion’. By means of meditation, yoga and chant, and for some, contemplation, Sadhana is a disciplined approach to spiritual awakening. Such work, in the main, commits to a decision of complete transformation of old into new. A renewal of present and historic mind-sets leading to a totally different, yet natural, ‘new spiritual you’. Where mind, body, spirit function in harmony with the cosmos. The Sadhana of achieving ‘new you’ is our regular daily exposure to inner mental stillness and silence, and the resulting discipline. Seek council of which practice may best be suited to you. My own Sadhana is seated meditation for about half an hour twice daily. Seated meditation is also known as Raja Yoga, meaning Royal Union. But all Sadhana practices are set at achieving Union.

For some, in the beginning, depending how rooted the present mind-set lifestyle, change can prove challenging and even uncomfortable. Meaning, if there is a dragon lurking in our subconscious pantry, then this dragon will have to be faced consciously and defeated, totally – which it will be, for you will not be alone in the quest.

By way of divine encouragement, let us reflect the biblical story of David and Goliath. When David – symbolizing Mind of God — slew the giant, the dragon, with a white marble which he took from his breast pocket. This biblical giant of course represents the personal Goliath, our dragon, and the stone representing the new-found spiritual strength and determination aback of decision to victory over this dragon.

This suppressed Goliath exists because habitually it’s been nourished instead of our squaring up to the demon. And, it’s this automatically recurring sub-mental activity — of nourishing the dragon — which is responsible for preventing experiential faith-consciousness and unconditional love into our lives for living.

So, let’s call this dragon by its name-nature, ADDICTION.

Once we remain single-mindedly committed to our quest of overcoming addiction, then nothing whatsoever can defeat the Higher Power, the white stone within. When put into action, the white stone then represents our soul awakening unto itself, consciously. When unwaveringly directed, it will follow through utterly conquering whatsoever is blocking divine connection unto Wholeness: of freeing totally our soul from the prison clutches of addiction, similar to biblical Peter being freed from his / her ego-nature denial of Christ within to becoming established in faith or, Christ-consciousness. As part of a maintenance programme, during and post recovery, meditation twice daily is the vital key.

Achieving single-mindedness requires action from both the invisible higher dimension and from ourselves practically. Praying to God, while positive, then sitting back and doing nothing, will also achieve nothing. Belief alone is not sufficient, rather a combination of faith development (meditation) followed through with zoned awareness, with single-minded thought-action toward our goal. Addiction is by far the single culprit in blocking overall spiritual wellbeing. That is why we need to stay mentally focused, emotionally anchored, getting deep enough within consciousness to affect steadiness of mind and commitment to our desired freedom. Without steadiness of intellect, inner change remains aspirational only; never starting, never progressing, never achieving. Thus continuing our life experiencing through the same colour procrastination glasses. But, now, it’s time for action.

First Steps to Victory

Prayerful intentions without action remain illusory, ineffective. It’s only after taking that first courageous infant step toward our goal that prayer begins vibrating, materializing. Such is when divine assistance comes from all quarters of Life to our rescue. Without hesitation, take that all-important first step now, today. For, in Truth, in the spiritual realm, prayers become answered the moment we take that first heart-committed step; moving from a crystalized vision to a defined outcome. For it’s a universal law, that, action and reaction are equal to the same force. Therefore, that first step, aback of a victory-charged intention, can lead to leaps of amazing faith, beyond the limited lower ego effort. Thus each tiny enthusiasm-filled step, taken with a made-up mind — regarding intended outcome — is already successful in the Higher realm. It just now requires to be worked out in time.

We remember in the Bible when Jesus shouted in a loud voice: “Lazarus come forth” – Lazarus in this case is you, me: we’re to bring forth our basic spiritual nature that it may be Glorified. ‘Shouted’ means, with commitment, conviction.

Once moving forward step by step enthusiastically, and never looking back, then without fail the next divinely-nuanced step is revealed intuitively. Progressing in this manor represents the guiding flow of the inner life-force assisting with our every activity. Thus, action purifies.

A quick story may help crystalize the necessity of taking action. A woman was stranded on a sheer mountain cliff edge. She could not move in any direction from her present position. She immediately prayed to God to rescue her. A few minutes later, a passing helicopter pilot spotted her and, realizing her dilemma, dropped a rope ladder, with shouts: climb up! climb up! She waved and shouted back, no thanks, I’m waiting for God to save me!

The moral of this story: God works through us and through other people. Regards slaying the dragon, it translates, taking professional help when appropriate.

Summing up

When the conscious mind begins encountering profound inner peace by means deep silence, away from excessive thinking then soul awakening is noticeably taking place: biblically put: “be still and Know” Psalm 46–10. At the practical level, mental stillness creates a Gap in our repetitive thought cycle. Because it’s the Great Purifier, with practice, stillness expands sonically into deeper mind developing a bliss-wave through which ‘knowing’ is appreciated on the nervous system, reassuring that our spiritual growth season is right on harvest. This growth further Initiates a dynamic of ‘mental weeding’, a process which integrates (crucifies) the unconscious content — the lower ego — causal of all repetitive human suffering.

Surly it’s time to gather our spiritual harvest and live ‘be still and know’ consciously through the Awakening soul.
