Dealing with Life’s Tests
Transcript
Today I'd like to talk about something that might seem quite relevant. Typically I would choose such a thing, right? And today I want to talk about dealing with life's tests. You know, a lot of folks are are struggling in one way or another, physically, emotionally, or or have friends that are struggling.
It happens. This is planet Earth, the Asylum of the universe. And so, even though God creates us in it's perfect and holy image, we are like, "We have a second opinion,". And so we could be experiencing heaven. Even on earth we could experience heaven. We did. It was called Eden. It was a dimension where the entire material universe, the entire universe, was not yet as dark and as tense and as dense.
That happened once upon a time. And that's why the Bible gives us parables and metaphors and summaries. It's one thing people don't understand, that's why so many for so many years people thought the world was created in literally seven days, which it could be done in seven days, because there's no such thing as time.
But the point is that the writers of many great teachings, many great teachings, and including the Bible, the writers used to summarize things. They would say it's kind of like this, just almost like partly like get it over with. Just summarizing. Get it out. And also to conceal how many truths and layers of truths are in each statement.
So that's how deep it is. And that's why the teachings can be interpreted different ways. It's not, this guy's got the right one. It's just some are the more loving interpretations, the more metaphysical interpretations, the more literal interpretations and so on. So the universe was once this perfect place called Eden.
We seemingly separated from heaven, from God, seemingly, but as it seems to have happened, we we started journeying into a universe that's starting to be created. But that universe still maintained consciousness. As we fell further asleep, as we fell further into fear, the universe became colder and darker.
Believe it or not, when we were still androgynous or spiritual or etheric beings, we didn't notice anything called coldness or night. We were the light, so wherever we were there was light, which is described in Revelation that one day we will go back to that consciousness and you will not need sun or moon. You won't need light.
Because you'll be that light. The light of God will be present. So in this sense we we had that. Now in another sense we still have it. It's still there, but not visible to judgmental eyes. You have to open this eye to see the light of God. It's not seen with eyes of duality to eyes. Since you have two eyes and perceiving the world trying to perceive the world from a dualistic place you're going to run into dualistic experiences before it's not a matter literally of two eyes.
It's a matter of choosing to see dualistic LEE It's a metaphor why we even think we need partnerships. Why you believe in something called male and female. Those are all illusions. They're all just illusions that depict duality. At the end of the day Eden is we're one we're there's no need.
You don't have hunger and fullness. There's no thing of duality there's just being. I am. How are you doing. I am. And somebody say I'm waiting for the rest of the sentence. You are what I am because I am is actually a complete sentence. You could elaborate. I am. What else could I be if I am. I am as prosperous I am as love.
I am is peace and joy and and so on and so on so. But human beings don't get that. No no no no. Oh give me that I am new agey stuff. Fill it in. You are what. Cause you don't look well say it you're sick you I am this Sayam I'm sad and it. You can't get by very easily in this dimension in this third dimension Planet Earth trying to hold that spiritual consciousness and then weird things can happen.
Like I don't know maybe Saturn Venus and Mars is going retrograde all at the same time. that didn't help. And this too shall pass. And it does pass and then those things are true. But what I really love about it is human beings will go from sleeping witches. There's no such thing as astrology and planets and energies and whatever. There's no such thing that's sleeping.
Then you start to go oh my God this stuff does work it does exist but you could go overboard because the pendulum swings in the dualistic world and go oh I'm not going out because it's a full moon. I'm not going to speak to anybody because mercury's retrograde and get away from me Venus just went retrograde.
That's that's too far. What's really incredible is when you start to wake up more and more you realize this is all true all the planets all star and all the limited but they're all ME I'M Mercury going retrograde I need to go back over things more slowly and get my communications down right.
I need to look at myself. I need to look within. When the moon is full. What's the moon. It's me. I need to look at that experience within me how it mirrors how it reflects and somebody is going to say you. You really do think the universe revolves around you. And then they're going to oh you must be all those Narcissus because that's a popular word today and you just say yes it does.
Yeah be great to go back to Mom and Dad. Hey remember we used to say that there were universe revolves around you. Now I'm going to say yeah it does. It actually does. I am the universe. Like a great story of Ganesha he's he's. Before the gods and and Brama and well he's before the gods. And the the father mother gods say to their son because there's a competitive competition between Ganesha and his brother who's going to be given like the position of the grand.
Like the inheritance of the newt the child of God of God of Gods and so on. And who's it going to be. You know and his brother is like I'm like lightning fast I'm aware I study I'm working to be a great God and so they decide we're going to have a race connection his brother going to have a race and whichever one gets all the way around the universe first and gets back wins and becomes the new heralded God and they start the race boom first brother boom around around the universe shooting through the years around around around around
and close to the time he'd be coming back. Janessa gets up Ganesha he's like this Sizanani is like getting up from sleeping yet again and he just walks around his father mother God sits back down and says That's it you are the universe. So almost like without going anywhere I am I didn't have to go anywhere to circulate around the entire universe.
The whole thing is us. The whole thing is reflecting us and we're being quite petty when we get caught up in the little stuff of life. In fact it affirms that we are little when we get caught up on the little things of life. And then as the saying goes it's all little it's all small stuff. However I don't think anybody should diss you.
And when you're in pain and tell you get over it it's just small stuff or it's an illusion. Get over it. That's insensitive and it's technically it's correct. In reality it's correct. In this universe it's not the right thing to say when someone is suffering just be with them. I'm sorry you're okay.
You connect with them on a humane humanistic humane level. That's what we're asked to do. I don't have to get into the extremes of this and that and duality in this world. All I need to do is what is happening right now before me like. NASH I don't have to go anywhere to understand what is needed right now to be God or Goddess.
I don't have to go looking for what that is or the tasks or the job right here. Krishna and other teachers have said the same thing that whatever is happening around you right now is your test. That's your work. Whatever's happening right now but nothing's happening. I'm bored. Oh that's a nice lesson.
What are you doing with that. Nothing because I'm bored. I'm waiting for something. You missed it. and then there's other people. God I wish I could just have some children. I'm so busy busy busy everything is just crazy. That's your lesson there isn't it.
Because we don't have to go anywhere to find our lessons. Wherever you go there you are. It's all right here in the most subtle subtle things and the most seemingly large things. Slight hunger pang God I haven't had lunch yet or it's before you. Whatever's coming up and definitely the things that come up repetitively or dramatically or dramatically repetitively.
Those are the things you pay most attention to. You don't have to nitpick. You don't have to say oh I just felt a little pebble under my foot I better sit and meditate on its meaning. You don't have to. I personally would say if you are noticing something a few times. Start paying more attention or if it's dramatic or or both but art lessons are tests.
What is the purpose to life's tests. And some people are going to say oh the purpose to life's tests it's working off karma or they're going to say it's for growth or they're going to say it's God gods the mysteries of God. some religions do that when they can't figure something out they just Gong's one of the mysteries of God.
it's just kind of odd because because really if I am there shouldn't be any mysteries. I'm not saying I should demand intellectual knowledge of each and everything that happens in my life. I'm saying that I can surrender and be open to it coming to me. What is the purpose for life's tests.
So get this on one level there is no purpose. Why am I going through this. Why is it. And no divorce and or ending of a relationship or a death of a loved one or a sickness whatever the challenge is. You can sit and say I want to know the purpose to life's tests again. It's not that I'm saying it's supposed to be a mystery but it also doesn't need to be disclosed to your ego because it will never be filled with a right answer.
It'll just keep asking so that you remain miserable. So instead. Somewhere in between is just stillness is peace. It's called acceptance. So what is the purpose to likes. Yes. Here's the answer. Everybody brace yourselves. The answer is there is no purpose. Oh okay now we've gone from miserable to completely miserable.
Like now you're telling me we're miserable but there's no purpose to being miserable that really helps. Michael thank you. We can get those kind of insights somewhere else. I was going to name a blazer or two. But but Tom what does. There's no purpose in God there's no purpose in God. Why. Because we are.
We have never left God in one level of consciousness. We've never laugh. You never came to earth. That doesn't really exist. To learn lessons that you don't really need to learn so that you can grow considering you're a divine being. You don't need to grow so on one level but that level is not known to mankind.
I'm just throwing it out there that it's there. On one level there's no in other words it's not God that says like the old concepts of a God is doing this to you. God has put a curse upon you. That's some of the superstitions. No it's never ever ever ever been about God nor will it ever be about God.
Your problems because it's and it's also not karmic. Which means I'm saying you're not a bad person who has to have something happen back because you did it before. There is karma but not in reality. It's in this dimension of what seems to be so let's call it a dimension of what is God.
I am we are so on God it's it's it's perfection. There's nothing to learn. Some people get philosophical as well God and even say God created us to go out like satellites to gather information and bring it back to back to what back to God either God was everywhere. What is it bringing back to God. We're bringing you information you didn't know God today are you.
Today I used a lead 2 pencil and let me just describe it so you can gather then. Like it's just some computer just gathering old data data. Data. that's that isn't God. There's no kin sumptuousness to God. God is so you can go and try. I've got something probably God doesn't know about this one.
Did you know. Oh god that there are certain vegetables that have sacred geometry in them. God's going to be like. Hush my beak. I did. This is going to take me a minute hold on sacred geometry in the flowers of whatever the buds or whatever that sprout things on the veggies are sacred geometry like there's nothing to report but now I feel small.
I've studied I have a doctorate. Certainly God needs to hear from me least of all from you. I need no information. I am and none of the all the information is a common story thing of lacking love. When you are in love you have all your needs. There is nothing to learn. It's hard for human brains to understand that because we need to feel so special because of our inadequacies that we think we have.
We need to feel special so we want to create these systems. So now I'm growing that person's not growing. I'm on the path and not like them. I'm growing. There's nowhere to grow to really. We are made in God's image. But that said that's one reality in our reality the first one's Capitol or in our reality lowercase are okay.
It's different for a a race of people that have forgotten their identity in the first dimension. We have a problem Houston we humans have seemed to have forgotten who they are and we need a plan. And so we collectively created a plan and said Well since we have forgotten who we are we probably should come up with a way to gradually get home.
And it's called Evolution not biological evolution but spiritual evolution. So you go from being a sleep not believing in spirituality not believing in God not believing in personal growth. Those are called sleeping humans two people that started getting it you start eating healthier you start taking better care of your mind body and soul.
You start praying and meditating and doing things that's the easier path. It's not the easiest path. It's the easy your easy path means accepting that God is. That's fine but the easier path is righteous. So what is the purpose to life's tests in one sense. Nothing because we're we're whole. In another respect.
What is the purpose. Growth but not in the sense that we think we think growth as though that's capital or real it's growth. For now it's a program that we have entered just for now that's all. It's like a person who's been trained at something for 30 years. Hands on like say a carpenter and then going and taking a test so that they could be licensed as a carpenter but are they totally know the work.
They know everything about it. They were raised in it. Their fifth generation carpenters they know everything about it. The test is a breeze. So why do the test. Because that's part of the game. And so we go through tests because we play the game. It's us putting ourselves through the tests are so that we don't hear speaking.
So then we think it must be God or fate or nature or karma. It's just because we don't hear the so we forget that it's us. It's our soul that saying I've been noticing lately. We've got a little bit of fear of abandonment in the meantime the human self is like like lights are on nobody's home most of the time.
We're not usually hearing the dialogue of the soul. But the soul is saying hello. As I was saying they were dealing with some could be low self-worth or a fear of abandonment. And the humans watching TV or texting or. And so the soul says I know what you need you need some abandonment then you really won't miss it.
I'm telling you at night in your dreams I'm telling you left and right in synchronicity you're not real bright are you. You're missing all my my signs and symptoms I give you so I know just the thing because the material world only brings things manifest didley speaking.
They only manage it only manifest things when you've missed it on deeper higher levels. The manifestation is only the last resort. We could have turned ourselves around while we were on our way from heaven to hell we could have turned around in any moment. We didn't because the manifested level is for the densest of people the ones that really need it to show up.
Okay wait I get it. Oh my God. I get it now that I've had ten divorces. I guess I have relationship issues. It needs to be really really blunt blatant for humans. A lot of times to get spiritual growth is not just like how many books you read or how many memes you create on your Facebook page. That's not your spiritual growth that's just nice.
One of the symptoms of the spiritual growth is learning to get things sooner. I can feel it. I can feel the low self worth. I don't need it to manifest as another relationship failure and I'm not going to judge myself if I have one fail because I know where to go with it. Here to look within and see what's going on that spiritual growth responsibility the ability to go what's happening.
That's why 12 step programs try to get you to do an inventory. So you start having a relationship with not your addiction as much as you're learning a relationship with your soul when you learn to say what am I doing. What's what's where's this compulsion coming from.
No sooner does one relationship end. I'm I'm feeling anxious. Like literally I start feeling physical anxiety for another one. It's called an addiction. I gave up one addiction now I'm feeling call for another one that's that's an addiction. I'm not one of those quote unquote addicts we're all addicts. The Internet an addiction means you feel an emptiness and you try to either stuff it or fix it with some external means that can fix it.
So as soon as you came to earth twice you're an addict. Go go to your friends. Hey man how's it going. Well what's happening. I just realize I'm struggling with addiction. Oh oh some are going to be like I've been there. Oh it's it alcohol. No. and others he goes I don't even understand.
But I can see you're in pain and addiction. Yeah. What's going on. I've been here twice and I still haven't found a solution. And I keep thinking coming back going to do it. So we're addicted. I keep thinking Someday I want to write a book. Men like 12 steps from planet Earth. I have thought about it.
Yeah. You know. Yeah right. Go for it. Let's do it. So so we we all are going through tests in life. I'm saying guys even though I say it sometimes facetiously are silly ways I portray it in god those tests are not doled out by God. In God we're already okay. I mean when I say okay we're made in God's image.
So we're doing all right. Spiritually speaking we're all right. I don't mean this is all right in consciousness. There's a part of us that's never left God. Where's that part. Believe it or not since everything is within us. It's symbolized right here in my own upper centers. There's a part of me that does get it part of me that cannot be sick.
It's a holy holy part of me and it is here where it's it's up in the heavens up in the heavens oh my God that's really nice to know. And as I learned to allow that parts of my upper shock Gross are able to breathe life down into my other centers and the glands in my upper body start to breathe the life the pituitary the master gland breathing life down to all the other glands.
I just did a talk Friday about Glenn's just briefly and it was the metaphor of the pituitary called the master gland being like God within us. And God speaks to the thyroid which is the Christ gland because that's the Trinity the father mother God speak to the Christ gland and say go upon the earth and bring goodness to all my people.
And that's the thyroid that's supposed to bring metabolism which means to deal with this world bring bring my love and into the cells of all of my people. See the the the thyroid bringing the metabolism brings me into the world but there's problems because we betray our Christ self we betray that thyroid we betray the glands though the gland atrophies or becomes hyper hyper or hypo active.
So the thyroid is trying to do this work and it can't because we're abusing and betraying the imam presence when I use my throat chakra to speak. I am and I abused the I am of God. This is going to suffer. Every time I have come to believe that I am less than God created me to be spoke it even repressed speaking it it affected the AM within myself the Christ presence within myself.
And then that means the metabolism cant work and everybody else suffers. How can my heart shocker everybodys Olinda heart chocker being opened. How can you betray the Christ presence and think your heart chocker is going to do well. You can go get the jaws of life and stick it into your heart chakra and try to force the heart shocker open.
It's just going to destroy you in another way. This has to unfold and it unfolds because it hears the light of God calling as it descends down into our hearts. It's Hello beloved good morning. Is that you. God you. Like like like gods walking in the garden anatomy Eve could feel the story. It's a metaphor but they could feel God's presence God. Is that you.
Yes I've come to see you again. I love you and so on and so on the heart just opens because of who I am and if I don't know who I am the heart gets afraid and closes constricts energy. Now since everything is trying to flow down into my day to day life spirit trying to manifest in my day to day life how can it do that if my heart is closed because it restricted it put up a damn with fear.
Doubt lack it shuts down now I've constricted from 100 percent of God's presence that could flow it's down to let's say 50 percent. And then when it flows a little further to the next shock the fear and anger of the solar plexus the adrenals fighter flight is going to constrict the energy more it's going to flow down further to the NABL center and its related glands and again it constricts because I'm emotionally off because of these other blocks and fears and so on.
So it has almost nothing left to give me. So by the time we get to the root chakra it's kind of like oh here root chakra your food for today your sustenance is just this drop. And we wonder how's your health your vitality. That's all the root shocker. How is your finances. Root chocker health vitality.
How's it going to be doing well if everything else has been constricted so much it barely gets a drop of lifeforce. So needless to say I'm emotionally depressed I'm mentally confused I'm physically exhausted and like lands or like we're trying because they're in charge of all of all of it and they're working hard to kind of raise the bar like to give some life but they don't have any themselves.
And that's the human condition. People are trying to go in and run for president. And even if they think they could make changes by the time they get there there's nothing left it will wear you out. Like Obama got wore out because you're trying to fix the world. That's messed up and you don't have one person's glands.
One person's mind can't fix them all because you're outnumbered. Jimmy Carter he was a good guy is a good guy and he's proven it. He doesn't go around getting billions of dollars a year to talk as though he has something to say like some of these guys. Some of these complete hypocrites and they go up because it's all money.
Jimmy Carter went out and built houses for poor people and he still does it. He's involved right down to the Hands-On. I mean that's who should be president and it nearly killed him because you're outnumbered. So that goodness in us is outnumbered. It's it's a minority in this world. Now the good news is remember the real world there's none of this.
Our question is how do I get the real world to anchor itself here. And that is where your tests come in. I wish I knew how to make a difference in the world. You do. Well no because I've got this going on it doesn't allow me that's what you need to work on whatever is in front of you is your obstacle to making a difference now.
OK fine then I'll set everything aside and start working at that work on it from the little you and it's going to wear you out. If you don't say here I am. Guide me. What would you have me do and not do say and not say you're going to run on your own reserves and you don't have any. You don't have any. And that's adrenal fatigue then and atrophying of the thymus and the pineal and so on and so on were outgunned.
Man this world's heavy stuff and that's why the suicide rate is high and high and high and so rampant and so surprising and mental illness and so I've said this before as much as our hearts go out to mentally ill people. They're the ones that get it the most because if you knew how messed up this world is you'd become mentally ill instantly.
They're buckling because they recognize this. Wow. There's something wrong with this picture. And God is saying you forgot me bring the I am speak the I am live the I am when I am is God. And it's love and it's peace. Don't say Oh I know how to do I am and then be hateful because the more you contradict the true true I am the more you're going to suffer for it.
So the I am presence of God it's like I get it. This is why Jesus said you better enjoy me while you can. Because when I'm gone you're going to go through a very dark time. The apostles are like What's he talking about. This is kind of cool we're hanging out with this great teacher. I mean this is really beautiful.
We've seen him work miracles. It's quite beautiful. And he's like trying to explain No you don't get it. Get it while you can. I as a teacher can say that to you. Get it while you can absorb what you can while you can because I will be gone. Jesus said it not because I will be gone. And you can say to the people you're bringing love to get it while you can.
I'm bringing them anchoring the presence of God as much as I can because there will always come a time where whether it's the people listening go through doubts fears personal issues. They're going to eventually have to go through a dark night of the soul. And you can't do it for them as a teacher or a mother.
You can't do it for them. They're going to have to go through it. So what we're doing is equipping them for that time. I would love to be able to say I have children and you guys stay close and you'll never have any challenges. They keep them real close they'll just become attached and that'll become a challenge keep them pushed away so they learn detachment that'll become something they're gonna have something to learn.
And that's their lessons. Everyone is here. There's ultimately no lessons. But on Earth there seems to be. And remember the word is actually the operative word is seems to be don't say on earth there is because in reality I can either by saying seems I'm allowing thank God. In reality none of this has power over me.
This is so weird. I mean I'm I'm trying to work on some some 12 step codependence stuff after a relationship and it feels kind of treacherous but I'm in the back of my mind and I remember this has no power over me. I in my learning my going through this relationship thing is ultimately to teach me that I never had to do it.
I had it all the time. Oh wow. I had it all that what what the heck was that for. Don't ask. It's just a journey without distance to a place you never left. I am and remain part of God that can't change my job my seeming lessons on Earth that we think are annoying distracting painful which they are in this dimension they are in reality.
They were all ways that I created to bring something to my attention where I was weak in my belief systems in other words if I if I was weak in the area of self-worth the annoying people in issues are bringing those up. This is why Jesus is saying and of course in miracles you will get to a point where you're grateful for those who have tested you.
And it doesn't mean seriously that person did this this this and I'm supposed to say hi. Listen I just wanted a thank you for all the physical abuse and betrayal. I was really really that was great. Thank you. You're not being asked. First of all that's not true. And second of all you'd be in more pain by believing such a thing.
It's not what you're asked to do what you're asked to do is realize not literally call them inhere realize you were reflecting things. My doubts my fears and it was a bummer that we went through this little thing that we went through. That's called learning the hard way. I could have actually gotten it without manifesting you.
Don't tell them that but you know. But it is kind of nice to know this is so amazing. I don't need you. I really don't need you not because I don't want what you've done it. I don't need you because I get how it happened and why it happened. I'm awake. Why would I talk about the dream images if I woke up and get the message of the dream.
You interpret this as soon as you interpret a dream you have any Tiffany an aha. Meditation visions and so on. As soon as that happened in your in the excitement of oh my god I got it. You're not usually going to go back and say and what was the symbol in the dream that is a bicycle and you know and so on. I remember back in the 70s I had a dream where I was.
I flipped my tricycle. It was seeing myself as a boy flipped my tricycle backwards remember we used to do this to the pedals flip it upside down and we were like oh I'm making ice cream are you okay. Well it was me anyway so I did this you know. And I remember in the 70s I had this dream about being back there doing this and when I woke up I was as as I was awakening it was like what.
So what did it mean. It was and the message was coming turning out churning out turning out life creations. This is about you're going to get more and more aware of how you are putting out creations. So I'm churning out you see what I'm saying. And it's OK great great symbol. Now what's more important the idea that I need to lock and load. I need to get ready.
I'm starting to create more. I'm going to start putting out creations in the world. Or what was the brand bicycle after all and what color was that bike. Because the spirit's on the other side you're going you've got to be kidding me. We gave you an epiphany and you're worried about what brand the bike is and we've got to watch that.
I'm not saying that things don't hurt. But I'm asking to not obsess on them when you get if you're hurting hurt but also affirmed this too shall pass. Don't ever just get stuck or locked into the problem. You can see it recognize it's there. Ask what you can learn from it and then prepare because after you ask what you can learn from it you are becoming responsible and empowered and you can start moving in a new direction.
The Dark Night of the soul is never supposed to keep us in the dark night of the soul. There's light at the end of the tunnel that's where you're supposed to be going. Well I'll get there in a minute a measuring the tunnel. Let me get a light meter measure in the darkness and the width of the tunnel.
The height of the tunnel the length of that. That's not what you're actually supposed to be doing. There's a light at the end of the tunnel. You'll get to that and that's what we're doing when we're still caught up in the details of blaming including ourselves picking on ourselves or others actually means metaphorically that we're taking side routes in the tunnel.
I saw the light. Why would I turn right down another dark tunnel. I saw the light keep going towards the light. Be scared in the tunnel feel the coldness perhaps of the tunnel. Keep going feel what you're feeling but keep going. It's the idea of not letting this this world defeat us because he can't but when we're wearing down it's like we're affirming that it can.
But when you affirm that things have power over you you're actually affirming that you're not as God created you to be which is quite arrogant. Yes I know God created me powerful holy and all I need to do is get centered and connect and change what's happening I can get in the power of the inner master and change what's happening.
And some people say no no that's impossible and that's because you could say they're worn down so much they don't want to believe that anymore. Which is sad but that too shall pass. But how many more lifetimes would you like to be to have to live to be able to get that epiphany. Well I want four or five more.
OK. Because you have free will. I'm not telling you don't have other lives I'm just saying there's an alternative we can get everything here and now and every moment is another. Now that another test. What's this about. It's not coming from God it's not coming from my being bad and having bad karma.
It's not being created by other people. When I'm going through tests my soul sign me up for it because it thought this would be a perfect way to bring to the put in front of my face things that reflect my belief systems financial lack lack of thought. I don't deserve physical aches and pains. There's something behind it.
Relationship issue. There's something behind it physical issues financial issues health issues. There's something behind it. It's a lesson always lessons on this planet. That's how we live. And as I'm coming to a close. Remember that when you see people going through these kinds of lessons and be present for them OK be present for them kind of half in there with them and half in God never dive into the problems with them.
Oh my God you're kidding. Oh my God you're kidding me. Oh my god that's terrible. Oh that person is such a jerk. Oh my God. And on and on about the negatives and the fears. Careful. You can only go halfway with it. Oh you're kidding. I'm sorry to hear that halfway. The other half of you is. And I know everything will be OK.
But don't say that sometimes. Only say that if it's the right thing to say how do I know if it's right thing to say. Ask God just be guided. I'm not very good at that. You'll get better. What about the people I'm counseling. Up until that point I'd get better. Apparently they needed somebody who was only half aware.
Believe it or not it's just OK. That's what they will do what they got. It's not your fault. Everybody's in the right place at the right time. In that sense so be there for them offer feedback offer insights careful not to say too much. I went through that I just. Me me me me me I me. Careful you can. Sometimes it's the right thing to say.
Do you mind if I share something and share some personal feedback. Sometimes that's perfect. Other times it's not the right thing because they feel like you're not there with them. Other times it's right to hear what they're saying and sometimes to change the subject and get them on the right track instead of obsessing on the fears and hurts.
So it's also interesting how to navigate this but guidance is how you do it. And then remember sometimes it's the right thing to offer affection. A hug a hand holding and other times it's exactly what they don't want. So whether it's presence or feedback or are physical like affection just be open.
How can I help. Today what would be the right thing. One person says to you oh my god I just realized I'm have an addiction to something and and I've got to work on it. And sometimes what you're needing to say is Oh yeah I've noticed and I think it's courageous of you to do that. Other times you're going to say we all do.
So that they feel more normal. Other times same we all do sounds like I'm I'm washing it down. I'm watering it down. Didn't allow them to speak. That they're so concerned. It may sound like oh my god I don't know which thing to say. Just keep your back. Do your best to remain connected to God and ask and then trust.
At the same time on the inside him those are outer things you can do on the inside. Watch for opportunities for your own lessons. Just because somebody has come to you saying I'm struggling I'm having life's tests doesn't mean oh okay let me take off my shirt because under I have a superhero shirt Big Miracle Worker or man and so let me get ready cause I'm about to remember when they come before you with something.
It's usually also having something for you doesn't mean you have a problem as overtly as that person. And those of you who know usually when I pray with people even if you're the one you're all my life's all messed up. Usually I'll use the words we we are calling upon you. It's not hey God I've got a sick one here.
This one's really messed up. So you might want to send an extra few angels up. You better throw in an archangel because that's how messed up they are no matter what I think this person has physical emotional any kind of challenge life challenges life direction. We we and some people have told me Oh I don't agree with that.
That's a firm that you have a problem what you just told me is a problem. You're afraid we're we're in this together. How can they heal if we're not one. And how will they know we're one. If I'm going to not say we are right how they're going to know it's we were in this together guys. We're feeling a little such and such and they may be the person looking like they're afraid they may be the person looking like they're ill.
We're in this together. We're one collective mind looking like we're in separate bodies. I've said before it's like the tips of the fingers and here's the veil the tips of the fingers look like this guy is the healer for this one today. You remove the veil and it's the same being getting healed and bringing the healing.
I stand and teach. I'm just a part of you that you believe is if you like me it's a part of you that is awake and teaching and you like it. But it's also a part it's something and you it's snaps that is awake and that's really good. If you don't like me your job is the same. It's a sin that's in your mind.
It's something in your mind that you're seeing on your own rather so you're just seeing a part of yourself reflected back like me don't like me. Somebody at work likes you does doesn't like you. They're seeing parts of themselves. Why take it so personally and it's the it's easy to take things personally because people can say some pretty harsh things and do some pretty harsh things.
It's hard not to take it personally but something happens of course in miracles describes when you learn that everything's connected and that you're all one. Something starts to shift in you and it's one word primarily it's called responsibility. Not in the traditional sense in the deep spiritual sense and you realize nothing happens by chance.
I saw a spider today and it was creating a web and somehow that's a part of me that web could be the spiders reflecting Michael that he's creating more of a network by teaching kind of cool and the Web could also be what webs we weave. I need to ask myself what is the Web reflecting to me and open my mind up to realize everything is reflecting something to me.
I don't want to obsess and overanalyze it but I need to open my heart and soul and be aware something's going on. What does it mean to me. It's quite beautiful isn't it. And that means nothing happens by chance and we get scared and we get upset because we go. Now wait a minute some things are pretty bad.
And I didn't do anything. Did the human race did the Jews create the Holocaust and you start going into dramatic events and then you don't want to believe that it's true that we reflect things because you use examples that seem way too harsh. All I can say is we created the Holocaust not the Jews we we part of us allowed it part of us was in it part of us is still experiencing it in our own little ways.
It's all reflecting something. There comes a time though when we look at the world and we realize instead of oh look what you've done. Oh you poor thing you you you we start shifting into we. And when we shift into we we become more one and in oneness things he'll see if I say dear God please heal that condition on planet earth over there and that other country you're separate from them you can actually work tremendous miracles because you just affirmed separation if you want to make the greatest differences.
Talk as a weed Father Mother God somebody calls and says Yeah I live in wherever Saskatchewan. And I'm struggling with a certain OK I got your needs I see what's going on. You said in this moment Father Mother God we and you go into we were praying. I'm not praying for them we're holding prayer because when two or more gathered that's the presence and that didn't just become like it wasn't meant to be just some magical formula for Christians to quote Jesus saying two or more.
It's a fact as soon as there's two or more there's less separation which means more oneness which means more God presence which means less sickness or whatever it is. So you're bringing miracles and healing because you're actually living that the presence of God is there's not there's not as much like mystery to it.
So in all things a firm and bring that presence. You'll see we've done this many times talks here and people saying how did I was dealing with as you brought up a specific story a specific topic. How did you know. And it's I don't sit there in and then this is God. God is I am we are. And so what happens when I'm doing a talk and what happens when you are in your best space.
We allow God to be and then we get ourselves aligned so we become aligned with God. Now something really cool is happening. But guess what it's still only happening right here man. You wouldn't believe in what day I'm having. God and I are doing really well. Sorry to hear about you. it's supposed to be God's self and others.
So in the highest moments and when I'm teaching Connec it's God working this magic. But I also am part of it choosing to be part of it and to say what's coming and to do what's happening. I do. But then I include everyone. So we we are doing the talk because everybody there's a feeling a sense of you see birds and butterflies come to the window because they're like Hey can I get in on this because this is inclusive people watching online from around the world.
Everybody's connected. Why. Because I Said So. I'm in between it when I'm doing a talk about speare that's my role I'm here supposed to be talking about spirit and so on. So that means I'm the bridge you as a mom or dad are technically playing a role of being a bridge between God and them.
It's just supposed to be doing. But often we don't. Any time you're playing a role a leader role it could be a supervisor at work. You're not just an intellectualized like a linear thing. I'm a supervisor. You are a bridge. Doesn't mean you preach God but you try to hold the presence and shift something for the people under you as a being a supervisor.
So when I'm doing a talk it's God and self. And we do we do this together. And so messages happen and people are going. How did you know. It's it's B. That's how brilliant it is oneness is if you're a counselor you stop talking to your clients and you start understanding them because we're in this together.
I'm not saying you take yourself down to the pain level. I'm saying you hold space between reality and illusion and you bring anyone in the illusion to that space the in-between space where awakening happens when other people Jesus says in the scriptures people are going to get hurt sometimes in this world.
It happens. Cling to cling to God. Stay connected when you go through your tests. However if your the person who's causing other people their grief and tests which we all have now and again in our life some way too often. All you need to do all you're asked is apologize and make amends. It's called repentance.
That's what that meant when you've screwed up. Just own it at least in here. You don't always have an ability to talk to other people about it. Sometimes talking to them can actually worsen the trauma. Sometimes you're the last person they want to hear from. Just do it in here. Imagine them being there and disclosing.
I knew not what I was doing I was coming from a place of fear and I am sorry about that and I'm not going to wish I could make it up to you outside because we're not supposed to be talking right now. And then there is the restraining order as well. But there's that. But but in my mind and in my heart I'm apologizing and watch.
I'm not going to do amends to make it better. I'm going to imagine it. I'm going to imagine that everything that could have come from this has all been turned to light. I surrendered it to God. You are thriving. If I took money from you I see you prosperous and thriving. If I took somehow help for me I see you healthy.
Just make amends in the best way you can and if you don't what I was saying earlier was Jesus was saying when you cause harm to others especially for some reason the saying especially children meaning people that are getting like children that are getting on the path and trying to find God is specially when you harm children literally.
But also it means that metaphorically when you harm people who are trying to get their act together spiritually and you detour them you are the one that tempts them to fall. You're the one that tempts them to doubt their their growth their they can have. I've seen this happen where people have healings and then family members shame them oh you that feeling you had that holistic stuff.
That's terrible that's the devil and all kinds of stuff. And then they start doubting and they get sick again. So what Jesus says is those who tempt and pull others down have kind of a special little karma for them the way he puts it is you're better off tying a rope around your neck and then rock at the other end and throwing yourself in the water meaning you are going to judge yourself harshly when you realize what you've done.
Someone was on the path and you made them detour off the path. Do not tempt an attic to break their sobriety. Do not break ruin somebodies fight. Faith in God and tell him it's the wrong faith even if you think yours is the right one. Many religious people are going to find themselves at the bottom of that lake wondering how they got there because they've shamed somebody else's path.
One of the greatest wisdom lines ever spoken on planet Earth. Whatever get you to the light is all around is John Lennon. But anyway. you don't. You don't have to to cause other people harm so make amends and be done be clean be be done be over. And what we forget is that everything's all right. So when you're working with any other people child partner clients remember if you think there is a problem you've already affirmed the I am has already affirmed.
I see that there's a problem and I am going to try to fix it. But it's not theI.m it's the I am not. It's the ego self. Soon as you affirm there's a part of you but you have two addictions. Oh that's a tough one. took me 20 years to get a grip on one. That means you'll need 40 and you're already 80 so you're screwed.
Sorry. Yeah. Anyway. Is that how you would answer no. I see this is what seems to be even in my prayers. I use the word seems at times to make sure that's clear. We seem to be struggling with. And then I surrender that to God. There is there is nothing that actually has power over us and that's really great.
I am as God created me I will to be the Christ on earth. And what that means is I choose I will I choose to be the Christ on earth. How apologies and amends when I mess up. Absolutely. When I see others struggling being present sometimes affection and so on being miracle workers being gentle being loving attentive caring but not in the enabling sense truly caring.
We're in this together. What's happening. I slipped. Let me help you out. And you do that and in real life you can do that. And some people are they going to say well why would you do that only men know you. And I've been caught by surprise sometimes I think Oh that's right I forgot. You don't know me.
This must look kind of strange for me to to offer this or that. you pay somebody bill at the grocery store sometimes or whatever it happens to be. And you get so used to it you forget that to some people. It's absolutely surreal. Stay out of being attached to that and just remember that I'm grateful that I get to be on earth to bring the difference for you today.
Ultimately we're all in heaven. But while we're dreaming that we're on earth I'm glad I can be a happy dream for you. Being any of us who choose it. I'm so glad that I can be part of a happy dream today. I remember when I was a nightmare for some you could say and I'm going to apologize and make amends in here.
And when you do that it's done. You don't come back and karmically do it. You clear it now as it comes to your vision as it comes to your awareness. So we just the world of all the needs. We gave it all the rules we put on it at one time and instead we get to experience it as it was meant to be and then we return to Eden.
And one day from Eden all the way home heaven please take a few centering breaths. Setting aside all the stuff of the world there's lots of stuff of the world there's plenty of things that can distract us if we would like it to. But we just don't have to choose it anymore. Centering and call me when we're inhaling we can hear the words I am and when we exhale we can hear the words at peace and doing that a few times just so we're centering but we're not just centering we're centering
into something very powerful piece which is of God quieting quieting and let's imagine for a moment symbolically where we're down on the earth plane not in the symbolic heaven up in the sky down on the earth plane and just let your mind come out to an awareness of half a dozen things perhaps maybe more the kinds of stuff
that represent pain and limitation and struggle human condition war and politics whatever comes to your mind are the things that you're supposed to bring light to. So let them come to mind. Interpersonal relationships. Sibling rivalry hurtful comments just see it. Look to your left you're right. Forward.
Behind you sickness. Child abuse. Look at all the things even if you have good intentions we need to accept that of ourselves we are nothing and we can't fix all that stuff as limited human beings. Me the space I take up high with and so on. This person can't fix all of them and all of it the topics they've come to you already spend just a moment asking yourself in what ways have you already tried to fix those things.
Well I tried to intercede. I tried to do this. I tried to fix I tried to protest. Look at all the ways you've tried to fix the world. Be honest about it. Including working on your diet to fix your body neither good nor bad just see it all the ways you try to fix the world. Catch at least a glimpse of how futile that could be and what kind of an effect that would have had on you.
Maybe exhausting maybe creating tension. Too much it's all too much and even if I'm tempted to feel like I'm a failure I'll see that clearly for what it is. But let's imagine that we're being drawn backwards a few feet up onto a platform or up into a higher space to get a bird's eye view of the world and imagine right now that we are etheric beings more clear.
Not in the problem not surrounded in oppressed by the problem lifted up and drawn back a little bit and we feel the presence of God right behind us and instead of going and trying to fix the world. God how would you have me fix the world. How would you have me do this and that in the other. And let's start with this Scott's first response would always be first ask to see the world as I see it.
Without all the limitation and conflict surrender to me ask to see it all as I see it. So asking God what we would do does not mean just raising the bar of more doing. I don't know what to do and not do. So first let me change my mind. Let me change my perception. So take just a half a minute to a minute and imagine what would the world and all that stuff look like if I were looking at it from God's eyes.
And we will forever be able to hold this knowing that we can step back a little and closer to God and get guidance. But let's take it one last step. Let's go ahead and return to the world the lower level back to where all that stuff seems to have been around us a little while ago. Can you perceive any difference if you're back in the world with all the stuff that goes on in the world.
Do you see it the same. Do you feel different. Do you handle it differently. What happens when you return to the three dimension. The third dimension and that's going to be the biggest work connecting with God is somewhat easy compared to bringing God into a place that seems godless and that's the work of miracle workers.
Lightworkers healer's in the world but not of the world. Helping with issues that we know deep inside don't even exist. It's called knowing the truth but respecting the illusion and then a couple centuries breaths and giving thanks nice. Thank you. Beautifully Yeah. So we're in a moment going to take up a collection to do our closing song and
when you're making your donations guys just please be as generous as you can be. We appreciate it. Be as generous as you can be and in a second we'll do our prosperity prayer. But we're also going to continue and share some insights and feedback for a few more minutes and then we'll be done for today.
today's talk is about dealing with life's tests. So I prayed this as approached you on a lot of different levels and some of those levels will be conscious and some of them will not be conscious. I was starting off with astrological configurations and how was it what a difference they make and they're reflecting us.
That's the beautiful thing. They're just reflecting US so keep that in mind. There is a shift that's going on in the third dimensional world and that shift is going to continue. The bad news with that is that that that shift is mostly going to continue going in the challenging direction because the old US is passing away.
And that's usually not something we enjoy or handle with such grace because of attachment. But the third dimensional world is fading and therefore it's losing its grip and as it's losing its grip the ego loses its grip. And when it loses its grip it doesn't like it so it grabs harder it fights harder.
So that's going to keep happening that's going to continue happening until we're done. It's not like three more days and we're good. It's going to printin you happening. Whatever you didn't like in this world politics and terrorist attacks they're going to increase. That's the bad news.
And it'll happen for years and years and years till it's done. The good news is in our awareness will become less connected to that energy it'll have less of an impact less of a threat to your heart and soul. And that's what we need. That's the way to neutralize the ego and the seeming evils of the world.
When you forgive them they know not what they do. So the stuff that we're going through a lot planetary dark night right now that will fade. This stuff is going to can you continue changing till the end of our time. But there are cycles within cycles and the one that's the dark knight that's going to start lightening up fairly soon not days weeks but fairly soon and there'll be some lightening and some you'll know a lot of people are going to take it for granted and think oh I'm glad that's over
with. Now we're back to our distractions. Then you're going to attract it again. And that's partly what I meant by Jesus saying enjoy me while you have me because he was telling us when you have your spiritual epiphanies and insights and growth. Grab it soak it in and make it become a part of you so that you are at a higher level when the next challenge comes because it will come.
So I'm looking forward personally I'm looking forward to a little break from all the stuff that's been happening but if it doesn't take a break. I'm also aware I my job is to be okay with that and it's always yours. That's our job to not be attached to. I must have calm times. It doesn't work that way.
So I'm grateful to be able to say to you in the near future a lot of these things that people are struggling with will will shift for the better. But I would say to you while we're still in hell let's turn on the light. So while we're still going through it let's not just pray in which don't stay in your homes until the day that the darkness lifts go and bring the light to the darkness.
It's not always easy. I mean I do this work. I mean this is what I do is what I do all the time. And still there's moments of like oh my God like wow we've really done it haven't we. Because there's so much and people coming deaths and suicides and sicknesses and I get it. I do get it and I'm grateful that I understand it to the level I do and we all need to continue increasing our ability to understand it at a higher level improving our ability to also become better people not act better become being
being a better person and awakening because the world that struggles is going to continue struggling. Be careful. Don't sweep's yourself into one duality or another. Don't go excessive politics one direction or another and start buying into all the hate the racism and all the hate lack of poverty and all the fear with that.
Be careful if you do you do. But then you have a firm that's the level you're at which is ok but I'd like to see more and more of us rising to a level of being Lightworkers and holding the line. You're allowed to have a bad day. You have loved to have doubts but come back to the light. As soon as you can. Not to believe the stuff that this world believes in.
Believe in God and only God is all that
