inviting you to the Path of Conscious Living 

Once again we meet to examine the teachings, and challenges, on this Path of Light and Enlightenment... and for today we must consider -

The Illusion of Choices

There is much debate about ‘Free Will’ vs. ‘Predestined Life Patterns’... and most will tell you that, in fact, you have little, if any, true Free Will.... I couldn't disagree more...

Consider the blatantly self-indulgent excuses:- “Sorry, I just can’t help myself... It’s my Nature, it’s who I am, can’t help it... Well, what’s the point of trying, it’s all predestined, anyway... I was born this way... [and my favorite] It’s not my fault, Officer, God made me do it...”

[Oh yes, that one always makes me snicker]...

The idea that one is born ‘this way, or that’ is simply an excuse to not do any work towards personal growth; and more, they’re quite happy to lay the blame for their own negative responses on some illusionary belief that ‘there’s no such thing as Free Will’...

Such utter nonsense is a clear demonstration of a self-indulgent, dark Lower Nature.

So, do we not have ‘predestined patterns’...? What about Karma...or ‘situations beyond our control’ [think devastating floods / wars / economic collapse / major illnesses / death of loved ones...]

Of course these things exist, and in most cases cannot be avoided.

They are extremely challenging - yes, absolutely - and are very traumatic... and they will have a tremendous impact on the emotional body, and go even further to cloud your thoughts and behavior...

Yes, there will be many days when you are confused, angry, fearful, lonely, totally lost... and even question ‘God’s Will’...

This is quite normal, and not to be judged or criticized... rather, it is a human phase that is to be experienced... processed... and emerged from with renewed clarity as to what is valuable... what is precious... what is to be cherished in Life... and here is the demonstration of Free Will ...!

I am not denying that often Life sucks... that there are events that feel overwhelming, out of control, abusive, and even unfair...

Yes, all that is true... but guess what - you have Free Will... and you get to use it to create changes... to gain a better understanding of what you want your Life to be... and what you need do to make it all happen...

And sometimes it takes hardship to make us wake up... I met a man, married to a wonderful woman and with three lovely young children, who was such a dedicated provider that often worked late in the day, and frequently on weekends... until a near fatal heart-attack made him realize that his family was more precious than the next dollar...

At this point he faced a cross-road in his Life and had to make some major choices: he could continue with the same old patterns of ‘duty-above-all / be a good provider / money rules’...or he could realize one of the greatest Spiritual Truths:- Life is to be lived joyfully...

And so, no matter what is happening around you - or to you - it is simply a test of your Free Will... What will you do now...? Bitch and complain, and find some excuse to blame someone else [politicians are great at this!], or will you take a step back, remove yourself from the confusion of your wounded, beat up emotional self...  take a deep breath, clear your mind, and consider what makes you happy... what will fulfill your Life... what are the riches that are truly precious to you...

Do you have Free Will ? You bet’cha...

Do you have ‘predestined patterns’ ? Oh yes... but none of this matters ... 

The Path of Evolution is based on Light and Enlightenment - and not on negativity and Darkness...not on bitter limitations and wallowing in a ‘poor-me’ attitude...

So embrace the opportunity to create a better - and joyful - Life... to release the old, and embrace a greater view of what your future can offer you...

And if you should fall - so what, pick yourself up and move on... That is your choice...!

And so I greet you all, my wonderful brothers and sisters... Namaste...

A Letter From Spirit

..........“You - this Tribe called Mankind - are made up of many diverse cultures, of different voices, of unusual creative qualities... All this was done by Spirit to bring about an opportunity to create a greater beauty, a more energetic interaction and appreciation of diversity, of expanding personal perception....

As such you all were given Free Will, so you would not be sheep, limited to blindly follow those few who dared rise above the rest... in this too many of you have failed... and we are disappointed.

Yes, there will always be leaders and followers... but far too many have given up the most basic ability to ‘think for themselves’...to differentiate the lies from Truth... and have let themselves be swept up by the madness of violence... by the lust of greed...by the gluttony of abuse ... and so have given up their God-given Right, and have become less than sheep; mere puppets whose strings are pulled by those who care not for human kindness, care not for love and gentleness, care not for respect and appreciation of different voices.

They have given up their very humanity in favor of drunken debasement.

There is little honor in them - even though they have acquired status and positions of ‘authority’, they make mockery of ethical and moral values, arguing points of human law while forgetting Divine Law, and ignore the consequences of their future Karmas...

[as some of you are fond to say: Karma is a bitch...!]

We will remind you that Karma is the consequence of your own action...or inaction !

And so the time is now upon you all.

The next two months are decisive for the future of this Tribe you still call ‘Mankind’.

Many of you are already lost to the frenzy that is robbing you of basic good manners... others are too caught in highfaluting intellectual debates... and far too many have allowed corruption to be praised...

They are the damned, and if they continue unchecked they will create the downfall of humanity...

That threshold is very near...but is not yet here... so there is still something that can be done to reverse all this [or at least give Mankind an opportunity to redeem itself].

For those of you who are followers of the Path of Love and Light, who embrace Peace and Kindness, no matter your cultural beliefs, we ask you to offer prayers for the redemption of all...

We ask that you take a few minutes every day to bring Light into your Consciousness - and breathe this out to the whole planet... breathe out healing... peace...quietness...

For a few minutes every day, breathe Spirit back into the world...

And in your own personal Life, turn away from anger, from offensive thoughts and words, and do not get caught up in the stupidity of political debate...it has become a mockery of the once great philosophers’ ideals.

Do this simple thing... not for ego, nor for self-congratulation... but because it is the right thing to do.

The time is now...”
