The first thing you need to consider is that you have to know yourself. To understand yourself and to like yourself. It all starts with you, you and your relationship with the world. Before you can develop a relationship with others, with the world you have to know who you are, in relation to it. Questions like; who am I? why am I? why to I do the things I do? why am I ill? why does the world treat me as it does? What am I here to do? And the list goes on and on. Sometimes we try to help others, always being the one that is doing, helping, being the rock for others. This is sometimes our ego’s way of stopping us developing a relationship with ourselves. If we don’t know ourselves how can help others, what part of us is helping, our ego?
How does one begin to know oneself? In order to know oneself you have to observe the world from a higher vision.
Feeling restless? You’re not alone: Everybody’s starting to look for more meaning in life. Start paying closer attention to those seemingly “chance coincidences”- strange occurrences that feel like they were meant to happen. They are actually synchronistic events, and following them will start you on your path to spiritual truth.
Observe our culture within its proper historical context. The first half of the past millennium was spent under the thumb of the church; in the second half we became preoccupied with the material comfort. Now, at the end of the twentieth century, we’ve exhausted that preoccupation. We’re ready to discover life’s ultimate purpose.
Start to get acquainted with the subtle energy that infuses all things. With Practice, you can learn to see the aura around any living being and to project your own energy around it to give it strength.
An unconscious competition for energy underlies all conflicts. By dominating and manipulating others, we get the extra energy we think we need. Sure, it feels good – but both parties are damaged in the conflict.
The key to overcoming the conflict in the world is the mystical experience, which is available to everyone. To nurture the mystical and build your energy, allow yourself to be filled with a sense of love.
Childhood traumas block your ability to fully experience the mystical. All humans, because of their upbringing, tend toward one of the four control dramas:
Intimidators steal energy from others by threat.
Interrogators steal it by judging and questioning.
Aloof people attract attention (energy) to themselves by playing coy.
Poor me’s make us feel guilty and responsible for them.
Become aware of the family dynamics that created your control Drama and you can focus on the essential question, which is how to make your life a higher-level synthesis of your parent’s lives.
Once cleared of traumas, you can build energy through contemplation and meditation, focus on your basic life question, and start riding a steady stream of intuitions, dreams, and synchronistic coincidences, all guiding you in the direction of your own evolution and transformation.
That evolution can’t be done alone, so begin to practice the new “interpersonal ethic” by uplifting those who cross your path. Talk to people who make spontaneous eye contact with you. Avoid co-dependant relationships. Be there for people. Call attention to other people’s control dramas. In groups, speak when the spirit (instead of the ego) moves you.
Our purpose here is to evolve beyond this plane. Fewer people (a result of reproductive abstinence) and more old-growth forests will help us to sustain our energy and accelerate our evolution. Technology will do most of our work for us. As we begin to value spiritual insight more and more, we will pay those bringing it to us, and this will eventually replace market economy and our need for paid employment. We can connect to God’s energy in such a way that we will eventually become beings of light, and walk straight into heaven.
There comes a realization that throughout history human beings have been unconsciously struggling to implement this lived spirituality on Earth. Each of us comes here on assignment, and as we pull this understanding into consciousness, we can remember a fuller birth vision of what we wanted to accomplish with our lives. Furthermore, we can remember a common world vision of how we will all work together to create a new spiritual culture. We know that our challenge is to hold this vision with intention and prayer every day.
The precise method through which we hold the vision. For centuries, religious scriptures, poems, and philosophies have pointed to a latent power of mind within all of us that mysteriously helps to affect what occurs in the future. It has been called faith power, positive thinking, and the power of prayer. We are now taking this power seriously enough to bring a fuller knowledge of it into public awareness. We are finding that this prayer power is a field of intention, which moves out from us and can be extended and strengthened, especially when we connect with others in a common vision. This is the power through which we hold the vision of a spiritual world and build the energy in ourselves and in others to make this vision a reality.
