New Spirituality, New Relationships

you know it's it's springtime you know it's getting to that time for Springtime it's getting to that that point in Consciousness as well as practice so what what does that time of the year symbolize it's really you know getting the final bits of the past which means winter cold but also the past that which is the the darker you know introverted time a greater level of goodbye to that so by all means make sure that you do your best to say are there any residual bits any residual lessons any residual

hurts I do not want to really I choose not to take this into my life for another year another you know uh whatever it happens to be another um you know Millennium for that matter but rather it's time to let that go to a new level so some closures this thing called spring cleaning is actually that we come to eventually in our lives spring cleaning some people you know know of that some never even bother doing it it's very healthy it's a very healthy ritual to say I'm not going to carry the the stuff of the past into

the new life but Springtime is also about getting the final bits of The Inspirations so that I can bring them into summer and full fruition so you the universe has its Cycles Nature has its Cycles the Earth has its Cycles we live in a symbiotic relationship with all this so we too have our Cycles various types biorhythms and whatever else all kinds of Cycles one of them the simplest one to keep keep track of and be able to see is that with nature just kind of stay in the groove when Nature is saying it's time to let go

let's just let go let's just get in the groove and do that it's easier to do it you can do it anytime but it's easier to do it when the Cycles are supporting that particular Vibe so it's a great time to kind of you know greater closure so that I can prepare for the the greatest version of spring you know and then spring forward you know come to life and get ready now does that mean if I haven't really completed my healing or if I haven't really come to some Inspirations for spring that I'm going

to kind of lose out no not necessarily but it would take Mastery it would take Consciousness and intention and focus to help make up for any you know complacencies that we've allowed to get the best of us right so we can still pull it off at any time of the year you can just go well I kind of miss the preparation but I'm not going to miss everything entirely I'm going to step up and go for this and then it works it's always easier however to do it while in the groove so some folks had had asked today about

a couple of specific questions that came in that were consistent with each other so I'm going to summarize those they gave them to me just a few minutes back and one of them was asking you know about new energies there's a lot of new frequencies a lot of new energy I'm not going to go into deep deep specifics about it at this point but yes there's a new world arising just like we can feel Springtime coming you can feel that winter is kind of gone you know and every so often you'll feel a coolness in the air that feels like

wow you know there's a little bit of that that's just like life when it feels like we're moving definitely towards Spring especially if you live in very cold climates it's a real breath of fresh air to think wow Spring's finally coming and then another couple weeks of real cold comes a few weeks later surprises us but that's part of life it's a drag it's an inconvenience but we should ask ourselves why it's happening well if if nature said we needed a couple more weeks of coolness I guess it

must be a reflection of we need to do a little more inner work now if we just sit around going dang it I don't like this weather and kind of get bummed out we actually are missing key opportunities to be to be different so while we're in it let's do the greatest we can while we're in it let's clear and cleanse but the world is showing us that there is you know definitely something happening globally and it's on an unconscious level you can try and name the changes you know you can try and say well we're

noticing uh electromagnetic fields are changing and that's kind of cool you can name things that are less even less perceptible like I'm noticing a higher vibration my meditations are really having uh phenomenal results that's very cool some of it palpable some of it not but there's definitely still a movement whether you're aware of it or not whether you're into it or not whether you like or don't like what you see in the world it doesn't matter it's still happening and we can either get on board or we can

just bemoan that it's not happening exactly the way we would like to think it should but something's happening frequencies are changing you know there's a whole Consciousness changing electromagnetic field of the earth is changing which means the one in our body is changing because we're in a symbiotic relationship with the Earth the ego however has different ideas and different plans call it evil call it the evils of the world call it the ego call it anything you want but the part of us that fears God the part of us that fears

our light that fears an Awakening is trying to slow all that down or even get it to reverse you can't reverse it and trying to delay it or reverse it only causes more aggravation or or anxiety you know people say to me how can I get these these pulsations of energy and sometimes they jolt my body the jolting is not the the intention you know and some people get that they get attention in the muscle or they get a spine kind of ache when they meditate that is not the goal of energy coming into our lives those jolts and all those

things even when you get an ache when you try to meditate all that's happening is you're activating energy it's coming through which is great news something's happening and it gets caught somewhere that's not open so is the problem the energy or is it where I am not open you see so that's why masters of old used to say you know stretch get the spine aligned stretch open up the body so that energy can more easily flow through and even then you might still feel an ache and a twitch just see it

just feel it and move into it does that make sense like like in yoga just do micro adjustments into it just kind of open up feel let that unlock and just kind of move with it it's almost like a spontaneous movement sometimes very subtle and sometimes very dramatic in the body but just follow it just open that's all that's happening in a way the the people that have had really extreme Visions with Spirit of some form they go into states of ecstasy their bodies fold in half in ways that shouldn't backwards they they're able to

you know experience you can they've tried experiments they can prick them and burn them and there's no they don't feel any of it because they're in an altered state in an altered state so we can have all kinds of things happen as a part of our spiritual awakening it's but it one thing's for sure it's not typical it's not normal to have these things so you can be sitting in a group you know and suddenly have these waves of energy come through you and and we think you know when people see that they think oh

you know I think maybe something's wrong with that person and and mind you of course of course it's a little weird to some people their eye to their eyes but the more we allow it to happen the less it would become a compulsion that overtakes US during odd moments you know you're at a funeral and suddenly you start having all these bizarre jolts and shakes you know your children's birthday party all their kids are going to be like wow what's wrong with your mom uh oh it's just spirit you know it's hard to explain those

things to mainstream people but if if we'd get prayerful and we learn to say you know I'm good with this but I do insist that it happened in appropriate times it's okay you can guide that you can also help it to happen in times when it's totally okay and easy then it won't build up as much and happen at it you know seemingly inconvenient times but there are new energies and they're trying to move through the body this body that we have is not the same one we're going to see even just a couple

Generations from now believe it or not it's happening very quickly lots of new things downloading and my attitude is really try not to Define it too much just keep unfolding unwinding let the tensions the the blocks that whatever they happen to be let them unwind because when I see what's happening and I kind of adjust to it and kind of open to it you do understand that this is a metaphor for Consciousness shifts when the body shifts when you have to open up the body and the joints and muscles and the spine and learn to breathe when

you're doing that it's a metaphor for saying this is really my mind that's shifting not my body the body's just going to go along for the ride so don't just make it a body-centered experience and don't interpret me as speaking about a body-centered experience it is the body is involved but it's not centered on the body Consciousness is changing so the more I stay away from defining it then I'm not defining my mind if I say I would like half my rib cage to open up to new energies but not the

other half it makes no sense so you let it happen you let it happen well this part's a little achy well then just drop into it relax and just try to let it unwind to the best of your ability don't label it don't constrict around it because then what will happen is everything will follow that choice I refuse to go any further with this becomes okay spirit all the beings all the Masters your angels that are helping you say everybody stop let's lock it right there and let them be for a while and now

I'm kind of going to feel stuck in terms of my Consciousness shifts and in terms of my energetic and physiological and anatomical shifts I'm going to feel kind of stuck I'm going to look at the world and go wow I started having some changes but now other people are having lots and I don't feel like I'm having many anymore and that's because we somewhere got afraid and locked it down so you know there's there's this whole just trying to imagine this whole symbiotic relationship and if the Earth

is changing in her frequency then we are as well because we're in that relationship as I said though the ego is afraid and it has parasitic relationships rather than symbiotic parasitic very different it's survival of the fittest it's to each his own it's fear constant fear something's happening it doesn't like it because if we change the ego if we change and the ego obviously isn't going to like that it's going to try to incite fear in us so that we shut down and lock down so the more all we have to do is the

simplest thing of just see it's happening take a couple breaths and just try to drop into whatever's happening whether it's emotional physical physiological anatomical whatever energetic just just simplest thing keep practicing to drop right into it and I and and I want to say you know these changes that are coming to the world they include changes in relationships and they include changes in spiritual teachings so briefly if I might here's a couple of really cool things to keep in mind mankind is

Awakening we're totally Awakening but everything's shifting two dramatic places besides the body and all relationships and even spiritual teachings are going to change and keep changing they're going to keep changing you're not going to be able to go back and study the way you did 10 20 years ago if you studied at all it's not going to be the old school everything's changing and one of the most dramatic things about spiritual teachings that are going to change is the teachers and the students all alike

equally have to become what they're teaching and reading we can't just study it and go that was neat yeah I took this course it was you know it was it was great it was a 10-week course I took a five-day intensive I meditated for six days straight none of that's gonna matter like it once did to us because that was just foundational work we're still supposed to become what we've read and I man I've been about that most of my you know years it's it's about integrating those teachings it's a very

sad thing when people don't because that's an accident waiting to happen you know when we go through challenges and tests in life we go God you know why are these tests why are these challenges happening we can say uh the Christians will say Satan is testing me other people will say my ego we have different names for it but why is it even happening it's only ever happening to show us where we have not yet integrated a higher consciousness you know which is kind of well that's an inconvenience yep oh well

remember the planet Saturn is where we also get the name Satan from or in Egyptian mythology sect set Satan Saturn they're all the same but if you look at it astrologically you don't go oh my God there's this one evil Planet I wish we could get rid of it Saturn will only Satan ego Darkness Shadow will only ever be bringing to you you know exaggerations of your stuff so that you can see where you haven't gotten it yet and the primarily when we say we haven't gotten it doesn't mean you failed to

read an extra page of a book it always only means it's showing us where we haven't yet integrated something we've learned or could have learned we haven't yet integrated forgiveness the reason resentments come back and bite you is because we haven't yet completely integrated forgiveness right all these things that come to us you know and and evil visited upon a curse visited upon this Village there's no curse that actually visits it's not like there's a curse in the desert going

you know I don't have anything to do oh let's go visit upon a village you know curses don't visit get visited upon a person or a village all it is is ever old stuff Earth can have a little region of its own karmic energy that something didn't get resolved people left dark experiences there so it sits there and it needs resolved which is why some Masters go and do blessings and and heal a house from that energy but still it's always only unhealed coming up to be healed which is not necessarily a negative thing and a good

astrologer should be able to explain that more thoroughly about Saturn and if they tell you Saturn's evil and Saturn's then there I would just see a different astrologer okay so the new relationships come back to the spiritual stuff in a sec but the new relationships there's something happening one of the most important things for us to to get really clear is primarily there's two kinds of relationships karmic relationships and gifting relationships and most of us have karmic relationships most of our

relationships are karmic and that could include your family of origin you know you might have had a really great gifting family of origin and that would be cool that means you you must have done some work and with those people to attract or create that level of support and love and and it's worth congratulating giving thanks absolutely give thanks for it don't take it for granted give thanks for it but it could be your family of origin and if not there then the family you create as an adult you know your own

partner your own children or whatever that's still another family and most of those are still karmic which is why a lot of us you know the relationships don't last very long in a lot of cases because people think well you know what I have a choice I can work on whatever is causing these problems in my relationships or I can just get rid of them and get someone else thank you and usually people tend to just get rid of the last partner and get someone else but you know wherever you go there you are so you can't actually just divorce

somebody and say your honor um you know I'm I'm going to ask to now part ways get a divorce I'd like you to sign off on this because with that person goes all my issues out the door you know I mean it doesn't work that way with you goes all your issues in you as you anything what that you haven't yet completed I'm not saying you're fated to have issues I'm saying did you complete them well in that relationship so most of the time our our adult families are really just reliving stuff that we

didn't resolve in our childhood families our family of origin what I didn't do in past lives will come up as my family today what I didn't do with my family of today meaning child family of origin will come up in my new family and when I get old enough to get rid of them it'll just be my latest partner the stuff is going to keep recycling because there's karmic relationships and there's gifting you can't buy a gifting one I can't have a workshop and say how to manifest gifting relationships

overnight just 99 it doesn't work you can't actually just get one they have to be earned how by the work you've done on the on the challenging karmic relationships that's all I'm not even gonna say unless no there is no no other thing there's no easy way to say it other in a different way our gifting relationships only come from the work we've done with the challenging karmic relationships so some people say well I've had some really great gifting good job and give thanks for those

people and give thanks to you or their Consciousness you know was there to create that but what about the people that say I haven't had many gifting relationships there's there's no fate from the heavens there's no God that's cursing you if you don't have gifting relationships it's only ever because I haven't yet completed enough work on myself to move in that direction to manifest more gifting relationships so if it's not cleared if it's not happening gifting then I have to own

that there might be some karmic relationships here and there I mean I'd like to say that there's another reason it was an accident of the universe but it isn't and you didn't catch you know Michael I'm here for a session can you confirm for me that maybe I have accidentally caught my neighbors uh karmic relationships you know it actually you know it doesn't work that way it's you can only ever manifest reflections of self I know that that's not easy to hear and I know that can

seem a bit like a bummer you know it can even depress you if you think well I don't like hearing this because it sounds a bit fatalistic you know where's where's my where's my gifts I see other people that have gifting relationships and I as a teacher can say that I as a teacher can say I've done lots of work I've done lots of healing I've helped a lot of people Good Karma all this but just I'm still gonna see karmic stuff come around now and again you know and why wouldn't

we well because the spiritual teacher shouldn't even have Karma anymore that doesn't even make sense even if I'm on Earth the fact that I'm on Earth will show that there's some pieces of something to work on but even then even if I did attain a level of Consciousness where I feel like I don't have a lot of karma I don't have a lot of karmic relationships let's say you pull that off still you're part of a collective so you're going to have a choice let's say well listen Michael or whomever

Spirit comes to us and says ma you've done a great job you've really cleared a lot a lot of your stuff so you can go to the other side and Bliss out you know at hotel Heaven on the in the astral plane or you can say to yourself well I'm still part of everyone and they're still struggling so why don't I just hang around and do my best to help the collective rise in its consciousness and that's actually a very high choice it's an amazing choice of course your Miracle says those people that do that

are called the saints of God because instead of just going well I can't wait till I clear my stuff man because these people are freakazoids I want out of here you know I just went out here I just want to clear my karma and then say goodbye to these people well that's okay because if you do clear it it's authentic you you feel clear but what about the collective I've cleared my fears what about our fears I've cleared my anger what about our anger so why don't I just come back and participate a little bit why don't I

stay around a little longer and participate a little bit you know it would be it would behoove everybody if I can see the bigger picture so there are um there are times when we say to ourselves I choose to be done with this and my relationships if a challenging relationship arises we're too premature to cut them out you might have to end a relationship generally speaking I say it's when more harm than good comes from having that relationship I don't care who it's with I don't care about your own blood

relatives or just your next door neighbor or friend when more harm than good when when everything you're trying to say or do to help is still not getting anywhere sometimes you kind of have to go you know I'm going to then go back and just be silent and go go a different way you never ever choose to judge the people that don't get it you just you know they're going to get it at some point but they may not be able to get the lessons through you so you kind of have to wash your hands and walk away but if

you can see that you have karmic relationships look for the lessons in them look for the lessons give thanks and let them go I don't mean just goodbye meaning let go of any attachment after that try to look for your lessons and give thanks but what about the other kind gifting relationships again this is from Good Karma this is work I've done right it's never just an accident and if you see somebody that seems like they have more gifting relationships you know pay attention because you know if you say I've got

gifting relationships aren't I amazing you're missing it you'll lose them when you see them give thanks because gratitude is a frequency it's an energy and when you send that energy to other people saying thank you even people aren't that aren't even on the material planet anymore they're getting that it's almost like prayers believe it or not they can be five steps into the Astro World on the other side your thank yous to them takes them and lifts them even higher into other frequencies it may

sound strange but it does work we don't just pray for the souls of the dearly Departed it's more than that it's something bigger than that okay it's gratitude see if I just say prayers for the Departed oh oh Jesus baby Jesus can you please look after my mom who passed away you know baby Jesus thank you baby Jesus who's still in a Manger somewhere and all that and you're asking that prayers for this this to be lifted well it's nice that you're putting intentions but you'll have 10 times 100

times more Effectiveness to help people who have passed around over or still living on Earth when you just acknowledge they've done good and you're grateful for it do you understand the difference you don't just pray for them your gratitude is an active prayer experientially it's not a pray to pray for it is the manifestation of the prayer just giving thanks already soothes already lifts people living or Departed so if you know that you've got a lack of these if you see I've got gifting

relationships but there's still something that's snagging and I can't seem to manifest more watch for old paradigms watch for old belief systems look inside and see if there's something in you that's still you know still missing those old pieces that if you don't look Saturn will eventually bring them around usually in kind of a harsh fashion usually in the form of you know um destroying relationships cut your phone off good and remember lastly integrate don't just give thanks integrate what you learned

think of any gifting relationship you've ever had and then integrated what can I learn from that wonderful person I had in my life you know God they were always so unconditionally loving they were so supportive man when I was in dark times they were there not only go thank you person also how can I become more like that not in a way of of idolatry for that they were so wonderful it's they were but how can I become like that look for how your lessons can take you higher that's called integration so when things are not so good and

karmic I still need to breed them in and look at what I might learn from it and then bid it farewell but when they're not karmic and they're gifting relationships still I have to breathe in what I can get from that and it'll take everything to another level bless you now moving on to there are new relationships all right once upon a time we were told there's marriage that's it everybody's straight it's opposite genders and once you do it it's forever if you don't do it it's

because you're cursed and and you know but that's kind of the way it was looked at you know oh poor her she's done she's never had a a man come you know and now she's getting older it was like especially for women it was like considered a curse really strange but the church and others used to really emphasize this you get married and you never break out of that marriage and that's that wasn't real it was never healthy and it was never real it's nice that people coupled and became Partners

but it was never good healthy or real to then take that and turn it into something of a shaming and guilt so human beings got used to there was marriage but then they got used to now I'm divorced in my lifetime my lifetime my dad was nuts enough meaning kind of a rude person enough he used to forbid my mother to have any friends that were divorce ease he could have friends guys were allowed to be divorced she wasn't allowed to have any friends female friends that were divorced it was that's how shunned it is

in in traditional families and or certain religious people right that's and this is in my lifetime so now we look and we we learn to adjust I'm not just married some of us now say I'm divorced that is divorce is not a failed marriage divorce is another category of relationship because it should be I'm now having a relationship with me is that making sense divorce is not just non-married it's its own category and then we have another one that kicked into the world more more prevalently gay gay Partnerships

I think that's great because everybody that's all tense about the other kind have to get used to something else too bad you have any issues with that where are you going to draw the line okay fine fine I guess I'll have to accept gay relationships but I do not you know accept aliens from other planets having Partnerships with humans whatever you're wherever you draw the line is going to be something you have to meet later your children are going to become gay alien Partners whatever whatever is going to be a problem

and you know what you can do you can speed this up the pen disappeared from up here but speed this just write it down write down all the things you don't like so that you can know ahead of time what's coming I mean that's all you know then you'll know what's coming oh I just review you know gay what are your children's gonna be gay yeah I just don't like this then it's going to be that you know whatever and we just because we always just meet ourselves we have to confront ourselves and our

issues but that said I do want to say that there is a new relationship that we need to announce to the world it's not just married it's not just gay marriage it's not just being um uh having intimate lovers intimate friends another category there's a new relationship called the spiritual relationship and some people even think that they know what that is and have a definition for it and they're not still not getting it there is a new relationship and and this is really important and really really exceedingly powerful for

us all to understand just as the world brought us divorce just as it brought us gay marriages as it brought us you know intimate friendships that once would have been shunned just a generation ago there's something else happening it's what I would better best call a new relationship new relationship is not what we think it is it's not like I can put it in a box and Define it it's where all of a sudden and there are symptoms of this which I'll name a few things but we have erroneous names that

we try to put to it some of us don't know you're in a new spiritual relationship what's going on in your partnership so what's happening for you well I haven't really had a partnership for a while oh then you're in a spiritual relationship no I'm in a loneliness relationship I'm alone so you have false names for it you think you're suffering from something when in fact you're waking up but it's not acceptable yet just as gay relationships for it appear just in our generation and previous it

had all kinds of weird stigma and and so forth there was something wrong with you if you were gay now we understand it just is it just is it's another here's this and now there's that and it's just another and we're all having relationships this thing that many of us on the spiritual path are experiencing or suffering from in some cases is being mislabeled there was never anything wrong when you were gay and there's not anything wrong with you now that you don't know how to get a partnership you're having a

spiritual relationship in a spiritual relationship you're going to feel more interdependent but then you're going to try to fit interdependent in with a relationship of with somebody else you're going to try to fit things together blocks a square block and a round hole and it's not going to work we gotta we've got to understand there's a new something and I don't even know what it is I don't know how to define it I only know this I meaning any one of us I'm starting to to feel like an

interdependence oh be careful because if you become too interdependent then you'll lose your codependence that allows you to be in a relationship no I don't know how to have interdependence and partnership because it's not been done or it's rare I'm going to step into a whole new relationship I can be gay straight divorced or polyamorous and still those are all old school I'm ready to step into new relationships so that involves interdependence also if I'm developing my my uh spiritual

relationship consciousness it's going to mean spirituality as a priority to me and notice the symptoms that I'm going to name are going to seem like obvious but nobody's associating with new relationship they just think those are things that are happening they're also defining where you're going in relationship just like if I'm a person study a little don't study a little spiritually spiritually but if I'm highly codependent it's going to Define my relationship isn't it well it's the

same thing if you're developing interdependence it's going to affect your Partnerships your relationships but the interdependence allows me to focus on me and my consciousness you're also going to find in this new relationship the old compulsions aren't the same like like have to have a lot of sex or I have to do this or I have to do that there's no definition like when I started a while ago the world's changing be careful not to try to lock into definition because then you'll lock

yourself there and you don't even know for how long because a door opens you didn't walk through it you walked up to it good job you didn't walk through it you do not know when that door will open again you could be stuck in your definition of yourself for lifetimes probably not but Pro it's a possibility but you definitely will lock in for years if you don't walk through some doors so the interdependence I'm not you know I don't put an emphasis on some of the same old things they don't have to live

with me or we don't have to have a lot of sex or whatever else it happens to be you know we we um we try out other relations we're going well I've been um healing for a while you don't realize you're actually in a new relationship called spiritual relationship and you think you've just kind of abstained from a relationship then you go and get into one and you go I mean we without wanting to admit it we start to go well I'm trying this out but it's just not happening because you're you're in a different

Consciousness and you're still trying to date every day people and and we don't know why that's not working we think something must be wrong with it and I have people come to me Michael am I being too selective all kinds of all kinds of words you see that happen to you too so we have all kinds of labels maybe I'm just being selective no no no what's happening is you are just Rising into a level of Consciousness and unfortunately people can't just fit in if you want to just be a a you know an average human

there's lots of average humans that can resonate but once you wake up and or start waking up you kind of can't look back so you know you try the dating okay um I'm just gonna turn down the volume a little on my spirituality because that could turn the person off let me drop that down a notch now let's go out and we'll hand you know we'll walk hand clasp you know like we're supposed to like we're still five or something you know so we'll we'll walk hand in hand and and you know okay well thank you oh

an awkward moment are we supposed to hug kiss them you know pick you up tomorrow like what what is this the spiritual relationship that's now ready for us to step into and and help build and be built by is different it's absolute clear it's honesty how are you feeling what are you doing what are you about well I have to wait 15 and a half dates before I tell you some of my you know personal how do I how do I settle for that the spiritual relationship just doesn't have time to screw around it doesn't have any

interest in Walking sideways it's about forward it's about onwards and upwards go vertical you know it's about Awakening we just can't settle and that will make you seem very impatient because you you can't do it and then you can't do it and it looks like something's wrong with you because your friends are still having intimate encounters all the time that's because they're still messed up they're still messed up they're still going to settle but what where are you

at you're not settling so therefore you're not getting as much action or whatever and that's a profound thing it is it's a profound thing and I also believe that the spiritual relationship the person that starts becoming not a doing a becoming the person who starts to become the presence of spiritual relationship also starts to find that they they can see far more love far much more love in everybody and then you get really confused well I'm loving everyone now if I love everyone and I feel this tremendous love

it I even see sparkles in their Aura and their energy and I feel a Oneness with all it changes like you can't do the old way you don't look at everybody and go how there's a sense of blissful Oneness I want to do you it just doesn't the the mind can't it can't do that because there's this feeling what happens instead is the opposite I don't know what to do I don't know what to do what are we supposed to do we sleep together do we marry what are we supposed to do and it becomes so confusing everybody ends up

in this quandary and not knowing how to keep going and they shame themselves in wrong men and women they shame themselves they wrong themselves because it's so different one thing that happens a lot in these kinds of situations is a bit of transference because we're waking up we can't settle on the old and we know that the average person in our average town or city is probably not awakened and you're not going to settle you're not going to go you don't want to really revert to old ways and if you do not very smart

so what are you going to do instead you're going to say I'm going to I want to step into this Now where's where where do I find someone at this level and because it's so confusing and it shifts moment to moment that a lot of times we do transference spiritual teachers you know um falling in love with the spiritual teachers whether it's your author whether it's your life coach whatever it is transference starts to increase even though we're learning interdependence transference increases

we're learning healthiness and boundaries and self-awareness but we still fall prey to that thing of codependence called transference why it's it totally makes sense because I cannot settle anymore so now I'm only going to have admiration and love even even desire and affection for really awakened individuals you see what's happening your job is to see that person as your next step in other words you integrate what you see in them you don't try to attach to it because then you're like

the nuns you used to marry themselves to Jesus you know it balance is good you know admire the Christ admire Jesus what does it mean to marry well if I were doing it I would say I'm going to marry myself to that level of love and integrity it's a concept not a person and I you know I hear those kinds of things a lot and I hear them lately for whatever reason a lot of folks reaching out saying I feel some feelings what what is this about the ones that insist on making it about me or about someone else in their

life that's very sad because that means they they refuse to go to the next level that's calling to them but the ones that can say oh my God I get it the admiration that I have for so and so is is actually me it's actually a reflection of where I can go inside my own Consciousness that's called responsibility and I think it's profound but there's a lot of that that goes on a lot of this fixation on others there's a lot of people that do the fixation on Mary Magdalene and say I want to be like

Magdalene and have a Jesus you have to be a better you first don't focus on I want to be just like Magdalene who I believe lets some people say I believe she was uh betrothed to you know partnered with Jesus or whatever all we're doing then is setting out there this un attainable goal I want to be like these other spiritual people just become your version of spirituality you you become if you think Mary Magdalene was an amazing being how do you become more like her tell me that don't tell me how you know how you're

going to one day marry her don't tell me how you once upon a time you were her I can't tell you how many people were Mary Magdalene a man I mean it's crowded in there you know and I'm not just because I know some people have a very heartfelt belief in that actually I'm not dissing that I actually believe that not only is it a historic character there is an archetype that is Magdalene an archetype a Consciousness that represents what she came to understand people actually fill an affinity to the

archetype and they think it's her which is transference sometimes it isn't that sometimes they actually were very close to her very close to her but not necessarily her they could have been uh you know followers they could have been students they could have been whatever but we confuse those things these are archetypes you can say I would love a relationship like but you have to find your own version if you want to be Like Jesus Does that mean you should hang out with 12 other guys and wear a white robe that's a little literal isn't

it So when you say you want to be like Jesus or you want to be like Christ do not take it literally he would never advise that to you buy the same token in relationship don't take a relationship and inflate it so high it's unattainable That's not healthy to you or to anybody else how can I integrate that that thing how can I integrate that Consciousness that that I see before me so we might have to accept being different we might have to accept being alone you're you're going to need to fast from

the old versions of relationships but that doesn't mean you're alone and then we start to say well okay I get it Michael's saying we have to become really spiritual and so we think that that involves abstinence just remember to raise the bar in terms of your integrities you don't have to go without do you know that most people in the spiritual work most people in the new thought were have done this before did that ever occur to anybody do you know that a great percentage of people in a room like this

have been priests or nuns before we've done this before we've worked in monasteries or temples or whatever it happens to be we've done this work guys but on the spiritual path in the old days it often involved abstinence and poverty especially with some traditions so we're sitting in this room going God I want to work on Prosperity issues you have to own that we've taken vows of poverty you can't just try to create more when in fact you have vows that say you have to be broker you're not

spiritual and what about the you know the pleasure of intimacy again we know we've done fixations on it in this and other lives and we've done abstinences on this that's neither of those is our path today our best path today is to say I don't know but I'm willing to find out what is this for what is what am I going to do with this intimacy and and I'm not just doing a talk today this is important stuff this is really really important for us to understand there's nothing wrong with you but stop

labeling things and appropriately or incorrectly you're not just not having sex you're not just alone you're actually having an Awakening spiritual relationship which often involves living differently your integrity is Rise so you're not settling so now and then does it mean one only and now I can have a few intimate friends but how I do it the bar of that is going to raise my level of honesty about it my level of love my level of you know Clarity and if I find myself slipping into selfishness I need to see that

you know we we need to be like people who have gone through a 12-step program you know 12 Steps From relationships or something we need to fast from all the old versions of this and then say what is the new version and if you say it's just like the old what was the purpose there's something new happening I'm telling you there's something new happening and we're walking into it and there's been nobody to show the way I can't even give an exact demonstration or label for it because we don't want to

label it well I can give hints but I can't I know don't want to say here's exactly what new relationship looks like because then it starts to become old instead just let it keep opening I give you some hints and this and that but let's let it keep opening um one of the last things on that is that I I can see in people I can see the the sadness the confusion the more confusion than anything what am I doing Michael where's my partnership Michael where am I going to go am I dying along the spiritual you doesn't know exactly

what to do with the ego you because the spiritual you is saying God this is amazing I'm actually complete as I am the ego is going how can you say you're complete when you don't have a partner and the spiritual one should go I heard that the last thousand times you told me you just don't get it I'm okay and then the ego self says I'm gonna have your mother call little she calls she'll tell you there's something wrong with you you know if you're doing anything different than

what she likely did it's it's all you know it's a lie and so we have to learn to say no to those voices that are coming from that Old garbage the voices that are not God even if they think they're God even if they profess to be the latest greatest highest understanding if it if it isn't God the ego is going to adversely react to it it's going to try to make you think something's wrong with you so keep that in mind and I can say this much for me personally um it's kind of strange because I feel

like I can do I can do this kind of relationship and and still be in spirit I can do that I can do none at all I feel pretty good that any and so if you want to know if you're there just ask yourself that question if you say I'm fine but I really would wish this then you're still unraveling you want to know if you're there truly honestly assess are you just as okay alone as with the partner can you be with one person can you date two people what are where are your parameters where are the doors shut

and when you can say I I really feel like whatever I do and wherever I go I can feel Love's presence just just as those birds outside will find flowers and sing and they're just living the Bliss Lilies of the Field was Jesus's metaphor how can you be in a relationship Consciousness or category of topic and be like the Lilies of the Field and no I'm not talking about a license is towards just free uh sex or Free Living I'm talking about presence and being at peace with Where You Are ask yourself where you are and how you

feel about it if it's anything then I feel pretty good man I feel really good then that's where the work has to be done but when you do the work you're going to see more and more gifting relationships and yet not attaching to them you're just giving thanks for them because the way you do things is going to be different and as I was saying in my life I I see a lot of that I see the loneliness and I see the the difficulty and the struggle with people now I can share this with you and you may not understand it and

I've never shared this with any anybody before anybody in my life but there is a certain amount of me that has chosen consciously to not go into full commitment of relationship and one reason is because I feel like I just feel called to stay in the mix with everybody you know it feels like if I just go well I'm just going to go ahead and and choose a partnership a full-on committed partnership that it makes people think that that's the goal they have to go to did that just make sense what I just said it

makes them think well oh there's that spiritual teacher and he has this so we're supposed to go so I choose not to do it so I can stay in the mix and let people know be comfortable where you are and some people would say to me wow that's amazing you do that others would say that's total codependence Michael you should be going into the relationship you deserve and you want I've heard it all right in here because I've never shared this with anybody I I didn't have to anything anybody could say for support of this

theory of mine or out of support of it and and judging it I've already heard all those opinions in my own head and it took me years and years and years to walk it move it adjust with it talk it expand it could look at the contractions and just keep going and then come to the understanding just pretty much that's me everything's about the greater good and I've heard the boy saying yeah but you know what you deserve I had a Temptation a while back to talk to the chaplains here in one of our circles I almost did it I almost said

chaplains could you guys give me and this is going to sound strange can you guys give me permission to have a relationship I almost said those words to them and I caught myself before I said it because I knew I could still resolve that Within Myself it would have been fine to ask them and I know what they would have said Michael we love and support you absolutely you know you deserve that sort of thing that's not what I needed to ask and that's not what I needed them to say because I hadn't yet even come to the full understanding

that of my acceptance of what I'm doing and why does that make any sense so think about what you're doing think about why you're doing it why you're in relationship why not and are you comfortable with it if I wanted to be in one I know that the people that know me would fully support that if I chose not to be in a committed situation I know they would fully support that but what's also important is for them to know that I think those thoughts and I work them through my mind to do the highest good or to do the best

never flip it never something rash never something compulsive and addictive they can pretty much count on me definitely thinking these things through or feeling them through so coming towards a close not only is their new relationship there's new spirituality so new spirituality the old school is is vastly fading away and then we have things called new new thought churches Unity religious science new thought new thoughts churches are already old thought they're newer than old old but they're the old new thought churches

there's still structure and there's still judgment and there's still opinions and so on but if a person's looking you know what what would I like to do uh I'm going to call this a pyramid of spirituality you just decide where you're at there's a pyramid of spirituality just like there is in dating and relationships where we would like to be is at the highest but notice there's it's Lonely at the Top if I'm moving my Consciousness higher and higher up the Pyramid of relationship there's less people to hang

out with up there so complain about it real good then just drop down to the base of the pyramid and date everybody down to all the rocks at the base of the pyramid but if you want to get to the top of the pyramid you have to accept there's less building blocks up there less people so decide what you want and then own it but also in spirituality at the base of the pyramid you have no spirituality just people that are just Granite brains you know just rock Minds there's no interest in spirituality is that where you want to hang out is that

your spirituality no no so we go to another level we're going to go from from uh the no spirituality to dabbling a little and these people are amazed at themselves oh no I have spirituality I in college I I did a class on Buddhism and then yeah I read a book on um loud too yeah I heard some of Jesus's quotes that's that's the next level there are people that are doing a little dabbling they'll be impressed with their dabbling but it's still just dabbling then there's people that go and commit no

dabbling now they commit to something to a religion or a thought system Buddhism I don't care what you call it Buddhism Shamanism Catholicism you're still into now a religion Which is higher than the dabbling and higher than the nothing but now you're committed which is good but to a thing okay and that will be your thing for a while and you think that it's the only one and you're really impressed again with yourself then you move up another notch and that's where you start to synthesize

what you study not dabble you start taking the things you learned and also the things you devoted to and you start synthesizing them and that's really high because now you look at the commonality between this and that you don't judge them and fault them with each other you start to say man I can see where it all comes together right that's really great now you're past the midpoint of spiritual studies if you're there that I hope most of you could say you're at least at that point and that's fantastic

next comes after its synthesis is mysticism because instead of just synthesizing the teachings you start to become the teachings it's more experiential see synthesizing could still be a little of the head a little bit of this and that mysticism is it all suddenly locks in like you now start to have experiences of Spirit and the light notice that we're a couple notches above religion though and we're way above you know people that just want to Dabble so last but not least there's this thing called Christ Consciousness that's the

top of the pyramid it's the top not Christianity Christ Consciousness means I am now Awakening the Divine in myself and seeing the Divine in others not the gratuitous seeing the Divine that we sometimes say we're doing oh beloved you know the Divine he honors the Divine in you that could just be something we recite Christ Consciousness means I actually understand the the the the presence of God in mankind so think about where you are in this pyramid let's say again this is not comparing Jesus or Christianity at the

top to other religions down below Christianity is down there with all the other religions after that comes synthesis after that comes mysticism and after that comes the total under the total awareness the total understand the total presence of Christ Consciousness it starts to awaken when that starts to happen and in mysticism too to a degree when that happens and you get to mysticism and Christ Consciousness that becomes the teacher all of a sudden Spirit talks to us all of a sudden we have direct downloads I'm not saying any of the

other levels are a problem I'm just saying there's a difference between them all of a sudden we realize God so now putting it in context with new relationships new relationships fit those higher Realms of consciousness of spiritual consciousness new religion new spirituality all of a sudden I'm in relationship and I'm I'm in I'm a Mystic if I reach that level I'm more like into mysticism mysticism you know religions which are only halfway up the pyramid all foundational or um structural fundamental religions all of

them dis sexuality for example they all dis it it's an evil and you only do it to procreate and create more people in that religion so they can have more followers okay that's that's religion that's religion that's not the level we're all meant to be at right so the religion says shame but you know what all forms of mysticism which have strains of those religions all the mystical Traditions do the opposite they actually support sexuality as a new thing to do it differently than you did before so one's down here saying

shame on you the other one's going wow you are you don't know what you're missing now what does that tell you if there's a pyramid and pyramids are higher at the top and religions down here shaming something and mysticisms higher up and it Embraces it what do you think that's saying go with the higher man why would you settle so just using these models can teach us all kinds of new understanding where are you in spirituality the new spirituality is Christ Consciousness that's where we're going it's a very

difficult thing to describe because people assume they hear Christ think I'm talking about a religion it's Awakening the I am divine presence of God within us it's not even going to be mysticism where I have occasional you know mystical experiences with God although most people haven't even had that of course there's one more after that but go wherever you are don't try to get to the top yet just go higher if you can and don't try to date someone and make them the top just date them and try to

see if the relationship can move up the ladder of consciousness see if the person can go from being just a a common person to me to someone who's interesting who to somebody who you develop a friendship to somebody you develop intimacy develop it grow the relationship but also grow the new spirituality that's why guys there it looks like relationships are failing and falling apart we're because we're birthing a new one and it looks like religions I'm I deal with a lot of them I travel a lot

and as I'm coming to a close somebody said to me you know Michael do you know any Masters anymore do you I mean I know all the spiritual teachers I met them all I've been around all the traditions and you would think you'd find some but they're not there Yogananda was one piece Pilgrim was one the awakened meaning people that actually had it and applied it they're gone I can't tell you anybody that I know alive that truly not only has this so-called claimed Consciousness but lives it you should see the behaviors of some of

the the spiritual teachers behind the curtains it's amazing now now mind you some of that you can't be taken out of context you've got to be careful if you'll hear a spiritual teacher telling their child on the phone no you know you have to go to bed you can go Oh I thought because they're spiritual they would say well whatever your guides tell you honey you know okay that's that's not you know so don't take it out of context you should hear some of the things I say once in a while into people took it out

of context they'd become a real nut case you know because I'll just jokingly say things and you know and if somebody heard some of those things they'd go whoa but you you got to know me I'm gonna say some pretty weird things now and then and just silly things but I guess you have seen that sorry but uh I believe Kenneth wapnick see they don't always have to look like Mystics Kenneth watnik this skinny kind of intellectual guy with his thick glasses and all totally cool that guy was the he's the foremost authority on A

Course in Miracles he was one of the editors primary editor and that that guy had it together and you know one thing that impressed me it wasn't just the fact that he knows the course forward and backward it's that when other so-called course teachers you know that acted had this imbecilic kind of behavior to judge it and try to attack him he never bothered with him you're just not interested he wouldn't do conferences with him he wouldn't get involved and I loved that he didn't get tangled into it he would say this is it

enough is enough and he'd just cut it off I loved how centered and beautiful that guy was because he knew the course but he lived it there's other people that say they know the course or similar teachings and they don't live it so I'm just saying it's in a weird in a weird kind of a way and this is important the the few Masters we once could have seen the yogananda's The Plato and whomever that we once can say existed I don't see many if any at all on this planet today but what I see is

humble spiritual people who impress me more than the so-called teachers and what do you think that's happened what do you think that means same in relationships we're developing new relations and in spirituality new new spirituality it's going to happen in you or in anybody else it's not going to be just the teachers too often the teachers are failing the litmus test of applying the spirituality we have a job all of us on this planet to say we're not looking for that anymore because it's not going to be

there and then it crushes us it makes us go I thought this person was spiritual they're not and now I'm not going to be spiritual anymore because they turn me off don't do that become what they failed to become do what they failed to do I've had a lot of friends spiritual teachers as friends that I knew that I worked colleagues and so on years ago and current it all a lot of them and there's a point where I just feel like such a God what a bummer you know I would love to have maintained a

relationship with them but when I see them drifting too far off and an inability to own that they drift off if they could just own it that's okay but the inability to own it then I start to just like everybody else I just start to love everyone and see them just as spiritual as anybody else which is great so I start to see the light everywhere instead of in those couple of individuals I would have hoped I would have been able to you know see a little bit better behaviors so remember as I close new new relationships new

spirituality the world is changing and that it's not just a cool philosophical statement wow the new you know the world is changing wow there's new vibrations you better watch it it's in your relationships it's in your spirituality and in other areas we could go on with other topics there is new diet there is new body metabolism everything's changing so start getting used to looking at the new in your life don't be shocked don't be dismayed look at how it maybe it's just part of the

new right maybe some of the foods that became toxic to you have become such because there's a new you physiologically so be advised it's not all the foods are bad it's maybe you're good all right please take a few centering breaths while we share a nice deep experience it'll be a brief meditation only but very very good very profound set aside all the thoughts of the world couple centering breaths going right into the core the silent place within [Music] hmm it's not the place of doing it's the

place of being it's a nice quiet Center and as I share this idea with you do your best to to imagine it and integrate it one day maybe we'll do a talk just on this idea every single time you meet someone [Music] the initial inspiration to meet them came from God try to imagine this and get this feeling even when you said hello the very inspiration behind saying hello came from God the inspiration behind making love to your partner always comes from God not the actions the original inspiration always starts in God

think about this that every time you even smiled at someone before it became a smile there was an inspiration to smile before you become pregnant and or have a child there's an inspiration from God God is constantly speaking to us trying to get through to us God is always an inspiration behind everything when you put words and actions to it we usually lose that original inspiration so take a moment to look at your day-to-day life and imagine before you waved at somebody before you lifted your hand to wave an inspiration

from God said there is God in you ready to join with God in them and it wants to say hello or smile but before you took the action it was God only before you made love it was actually God before it became the action before you go to eat something the desire to eat the desire deep inside first was an inspiration from God but it wasn't for food it was only ever to join in Union with God like saying there's God compartmentalized in your little body and as soon as you desire to reach out to another it's the desire to break the

compartments down and join with them with that in mind look over your life and see anything you do anything you do to shower use the toilet to eat before it became a thing there was God calling God reaching out look at how many times a day that happened and look at how many times a day we interpreted it misinterpreted or drifted it into something else the lesson in part is how can I stay in that zone and still do things how do I prevent myself from shifting from an inspiration that is clearly there we know that's God even if we don't know it

in our head just tune into it life inspiration is always God but look how often and how quickly I misinterpreted how far do I go drifting into my misinterpretation you see someone and instead of a smile to you they give you a look of anger hatred look how quickly it takes you out of your original inspiration to commune with them obviously it's not easy to maintain that Center but let's just start to see it let's start to recognize it as potentially missed opportunities how can I be and maintain being the

presence of God in such circumstances and let's feel a commitment to it more and more my life is going to become living in the center more and more my diet more and more my friendships living in the center I would love and I embrace and I call upon all to come to me and join me but there are going to be people that don't want to join you in your mind still hold them in the light with you see never exclude anyone in heart in consciousness but you might have to say goodbye to some externally see it for what it is and refuse to lose

them in the heart love behind every action of every human being it started as a love inspiration and it just got Twisted by how much ego is in the person begin soaking that in more and more and begin giving thanks quietly that you're getting that you understand that and you're choosing to be that presence behind everything even to reach for a bottle of alcohol it's not the reaching nor is it the bottle so something inside called to us and then we didn't respond to it from love to love we went from

love to fear then the fear took a different action laughs we get this we see this we accept our part in this and we surrender all that is unlike God to the heart of God to be transformed to be transmuted and then we arise to a new level of commitment and clarity and so it is
