Resist Not Evil

so we're gonna we're going to talk about uh you know a quote actually uh a line from jesus that's confused some people resist not evil all right resist not evil so it might seem like a strange title for uh you know what we usually do in such spiritual depths and what of what we share here but it's actually a brilliant one because a lot of people even today emails that have come in you know questioning the concept of boundaries setting healthy boundaries resist not evil will help us all understand about setting healthy

boundaries resist not evil doesn't mean enable people in ill behaviors but it becomes confusing well resist not so i don't shouldn't do anything yes you can still do something the word is resist if you fight evil then you're fighting something right you're fighting something there's something there that you're fighting it's a great sculpture that was commissioned by rudolph steiner and in the the sculpture it's really amazing because steiner has this this christ figure and then he has these

evil figures and they're all like in pain and dissolving you know looking like the wizard of oz which you know and you know i'm melting so they're all kind of doing this and the statement steiner is making in the sculpture is the christ is just holding presents it's not like he's wrestling with evil he's just and they're like ah you know and this is this is not a sculpture from 100 years ago from steiner this is your relatives who just get we're annoyed when you hold center we hate when you don't give in

you know jab at you and you're just you know and this this center thing i'm describing guys that for us that for you and me that's those are moments where we don't don't reply to ill rude behaviors or comments and other times we do we get up and walk out who do you think you are walking in center center center you divorce me i'm going to take everything center center and the center is also let me call a few of the best attorneys you know center guides you in constructive goodness power warrior you know this this concept

of resist not evil means you're just going to sit around and do nothing that's not true but what it does mean is that you know who you are resist not evil is kind of like saying i'm so in the clarity of who i am i'm not bothered by your behaviors if i need to take action it's not going to be because i'm better than you or because i hate you or that you're bad as a person it's going to be my closest proximity to taking an action where i can stay centered but in an action that will help

you from falling further into karma you can restrain somebody who's being physically violent and not hate them because that's the best you can come up with right now one day you could be you know looking at these relatives or strangers or whatever and be able to say satan like jesus leave them you know and then they'll fall to the ground and writhing even though it's somebody's wedding you know writhing and you know you know and and you'll cast out the demons and you won't have to restrain them physically you'll be

so centered all of us have probably done this at least once in our lives where we went into a place of center i remember a gal that i knew back probably this is about 1980 1978 or so and i remember this dog she was riding her bike and this dog came running out of a field after her and she just stopped and said no the dog was like okay i just man what do you what man i was just doing my thing you know chasing a bicyclist you know and this gal you know just and she was a very soft timid type small frame but boom nice

nice that was holding center she never i don't remember her ever referencing hating the dog judging the breed of the dog just boom and and that's what we have to do because the world is a place of crazy people that have forgotten who they are and they act out and they act hurtful at times so you have to at times say no sometimes you yell it because that's what's needed for them to hear but you're yelling it never means you sh it you know of course we slip in our moods and so forth but you can yell it loudly but is it because

i'm so angry i'm gonna yell or is it because that's what you need to hear and that means i love you enough that's actually what it can mean i love you enough to say no loudly or oh no that's okay that won't work for me on any given situation or moment so it's it's like the um this story some of you might have seen or heard lately um where a crow will get on the back of an eagle and kind of bother it when it's flying and you know the eagle's not like oh i hate crows the eagles just

goes a little higher where the air is a little thinner and the crow falls off and this is all this is all we're talking about the metaphor of that and by the way uh it's interesting because you can you can look into i somebody posted one of those on my friends of michael mirdad facebook groups um and and it's interesting because you can google that there's researchers that have proven this sort of thing but still there's people that that's impossible and it's funny when i hear that it's

impossible because something related to people just rising to higher levels of consciousness and other people can fall away seems impossible to crazy people because they want to believe that this world has way more power than it actually has so they want to keep perpetuating that myth that this world is what matters and i even this is my very first censorship that i've seen on my facebook page where that company um said we had an independent something or other um fact what do they call it in fact it would and fact detective or

whatever it is you know um complain about this post that somebody put on your facebook page because it's not yet proven so they they're censoring i wait a minute it's my page what if i put jesus resurrected and you say well no it's not proven women are equal to men no you haven't proven that yet i mean what am i how can you prove anything in this world well it has to be whether or not our group of factoids out there are able to agree with it so i can't post anything that you don't agree with this is getting

weird but it's all predictable thank god it's all coming to an end someday soon um i talked to god and i said you know why not a flood just flood the earth again god's like we tried that michael as soon as a few survived they all went nuts again shortly after and i'm like just come on anyway so this is a true thing if you in it's i mean factually speaking if you raise consciousness just like the metaphor of the eagle rising altitude technically that altitude is a different altitude than this one

the air is different the vibrations are different almost like saying dimensions change in a way but you change altitude the crow's like can't breathe it splits the eagle doesn't fight it okay on that note if i change consciousness the metaphor altitude if i rise in consciousness it's real if i'm changing consciousness i'm changing vibration if i change vibration i'm actually changing dimensionality now the reason that's not easily obvious is because for a while you can go from 3.1

dimensionality to 3.5 but you're still in the threes so it's not provable yet but the you know of course you can go to fourth fifth dimension and so on but the more i rise in consciousness there are a lot of crows in my life that'll fall away it's factual that if i raise consciousness i raise vibration if i raise vibration i'm starting to move dimensionally and what i meant by factual is in your when you're in some dimensions you can't perceive other dimensions the reason ghosts that are of a

different dimension the afterlife we'll call it not the afterlife you're supposed to go to but they're really earthbound it's in a way they're in a way they're 3.0 still in the third dimension but if they're if they're troublesome ghosts that is you know they're not really material in the three point something and so it's said that spirits have to actually rob heat and energy out of a room which makes a room cold so that they can do something or materialize why because they have to work hard to

get up to your dimension to be seen but they can't hold it for very long right and by that same token you see they can't be seen unless they steal from your dimension but you also have beings of higher dimensions that have to for a moment lower their dimensionality or consciousness to be seen even angels they have to go okay i'm going in you know and they have to kind of densify to be seen so dimensions realities consciousness vibrations can make a difference whether you see something or not factual therefore it's also factual

that as i become a higher and higher person of consciousness not only will i not see some of the same things that you might see if you're really stuck in this world issue wise but it also means i just don't even have that much interest in it so everyone watching a program like this could probably say at least once in their life at least if not a thousand times that you were having a conversation with somebody who was all upset about something and you could not relate you just absolutely could not relate why

because i'm not saying you're better than them you just happen to be here and they happen to be here you're not better than them because tomorrow it might be the other way around but it's so beautiful to know that factually i can rise in consciousness and awareness and understanding about life and when i do that my vibration shifts as well and when that shifts dimensionally i shift and that explains why like the song lyrics the things you think are precious i can't understand you know it's like i'm just in a

different place so a person here is going did you see the news today oh my god no i never watched the news now i'm not talking about people that are la la la la pretending you know la la la la la la to be you know beyond the news and whatever like oh i won't watch it it's too disturbing that's not higher vibration that's you're scared i'm talking about it's like a different language well you know this could happen yeah whatever because they're talking here and you're like huh

different vibration so all that you and i do our meditations our our commitments all that we do guys is worth it and it's making a difference the bummer is sometimes these changes are so subtle in vibration just so subtle that and then another and another change they're so subtle the change and the changes that we don't see the leap we've made but give yourself some credit by looking at things that once were of value to you like gotta have my drink gotta have my addiction of some kind god and if when those things fall away look

at you you can't relate to it now when you first of course maybe go into recovery it's maybe challenging but there's a point where you've made the step and you just i don't i don't get it now it's not my thing you know and i've talked to people in recovery who have gone from the recovering addict to the recovered addict they might still do their step work for example but they're more or less recovered meaning meaning i can you know pop open a beer which i don't drink but if i popped open a beer they

don't go and start chewing their nails it's like it's not an option i'm not interested there are a lot of things people have approached me with in life and they you know why don't you do this why don't you think that and i just don't have an interest i mean it's like a foreign language completely so give yourself credit for successes you've had past or present but also remember you know there are different languages and you might be able to understand a certain topic and some people

aren't going to get it they're not going to have your understanding the the lower the vibration and consciousness the likely it's the more judgmental you judge other belief systems um sexual preferences religions whatever it happens to be those judgments are primarily what keep us denser and so there has to be a point in our lives where we're learning to go i don't know anything in a positive way i don't mean i don't know anything like i'm you know uh self-demeaning here it's it's

more like a if i state an opinion i'm wrong if i as soon as i say this is good that's bad i don't know i stay out of that i stay here in the center hey do you think this this this just love and center to the best of my ability so you know whatever you happen to think uh certain religions are offered everybody's got their place and everybody's getting their way home they might all be taking different roads but all leads all roads lead home all people are on a spiritual path even if they don't know it

they might have fears they might have issues sexual hang-ups judgments because they were priests and nuns in another lifetime and they're still holding some of that and so they're a bit oh you know uptight in this lifetime that's going to relax at some point there are people who have over acted on such topics and they're gonna eventually come to center there are people that are hyper religious and they'll come to center people that are hyper warrior and they're gonna come to center everybody that's acting out which is

what that means acting out of your center everybody that acts out is going to eventually ah wow you know it's kind of nice this little space in here everybody in their time and that's the thing it's going to take them time it's taken you longer than it took buddha to get there so be patient because there's other people that will eventually get there and you know you're going to look like you were the buddha to them the good news is everybody's still coming home the bad news is in our judgments and in

patience we can judge them and say they're not there yet be careful because the more often you want to think like that the more often there's a likelihood that they're going to find center before you do so everybody's everybody's going to get there and it's going to take them time but time's an illusion so why should i even bother with that i just wish people would what you're saying that they're not resist not evil don't actively fight and hate and bicker about things because it means something is pulling me

off something's pulling me out of my center when i go to the left or to the right i'm just looking for this how do i hold center you know people uh there's this concept of of opposites true knowing who we are is the opposite of doubting who we are and very often i've said you know ultimately when we ask for prayer you're praying for something ultimately what we're praying for is to remember who we are now you can say i'm praying for a car but you really want the car because you think that is

something that will help you know who you are you want to raise at work because that will make you feel more valued because that's a reflection of who you really want to be more successful or more in touch with who you are right a more whole being i would like to be healed of a disease because you know that inside you can't have a disease so you're praying for the symptom to be fixed of having a disease because it makes you think if i don't have the thing i shouldn't be having i'm more likely going to be my real self

just pray for your real self and other people's real self please make my child be my religion why how do you know yours is even the right one you get to the other side you can be like damn you know i'm coming back as a buddhist next time you know or whatever why bother judging where they're at just again you know so there's a knowing and a doubting and our biggest issue is anytime we doubt who we are when you hear about in the garden of eden the the tree of knowledge and the tree of you know life the tree of knowledge of good and

evil means really another interpretation would be adam and eve in the proverbial story adam and eve eats from the tree of knowledge it's basically the tree of doubting who you are the tree of life is the remembrance of who you are eat from the tree of life which is the tree of forgiveness and you'll start to remember who you are god i get to relax you know i was a failing mommy but no you're not i didn't have children it makes me feel incomplete you're not those are all eating of the wrong tree there's the

tree of life remembrance who i am who i am who i am as opposed to doubt now doubt sounds almost like a slight word like you know doubting a little the slightest doubt is enough to manifest traumas in our life the slightest doubt attracts predators into our life the slightest and every day of our lives in fact every lifetime that we come in we come in and the question is asked let's say your your guardian angels are saying now we're sending you in and we're going to send you in based on a frequency on a certain question

this is what's going to determine what whether you're going in 3.0 3.5 you know dimensionally whether you go in with a lot of five point something activated in your consciousness we have one simple question who are you see that's all they have to ask because once you have the who are you you the rest which is and what do i deserve comes based on who are you when they say who are you oh i don't know because you know sometimes i still doubt gender stuff i still have this doubt or that doubt or this fear

that that i don't know is going to attract what you deserve based on i don't know if you don't know we you know it's almost like and we have some beautiful parting gifts for you you know like a game show who are you i'm not sure oh another one of those well we have some childhood neglect we have a little bit of abuse 16 marriages all kinds of things lined up for those who don't know who they are you know it's like wow so you can pretend you could but i do know see that's fake there's a

knowing there's a beautiful knowing and the easiest way to know is to ask the mother ask the holy spirit of god you remind me see because i'm still contriving figuring out who i think i am god is a knowing i'm a thinking and a thinking means i'm not certain so i'm thinking it through surrendering to the will of god that's partly what that means i'm surrendering to god's knowing of who i am so if ever you go before the court's spiritual courts of this universe after each life for that for example or

even if you're coming into a lifetime or every morning when you wake up you're always being asked well who are you i i don't know i thought i was a good person but god i just didn't do well with this and this and this ah that will determine what vibration you go to on the other side and then you do some work there when you're done doing work there they're gonna send you back here on your way in hi who are you you know and it's like well i'm really good with this and this and this

that'll result as good karma but i'm not so sure about this and this that'll result as bad karma as what we call good and bad karma so we come in and we have to deal with those things but all it is is who are you best answer i don't know but i'm willing to find out as soon as you surrender to let me let me call on god to answer that for you it's like you have one of those great perry mason moments where the new evidence came into the courtroom your honor we have new evidence the prosecutors of course going to go i

disallow that overruled because god can do that what would you like to answer with you said you don't know i said i don't know but i'm willing to find out what do you mean by that i'd like to call on god as a witness well let me look here yep if i remember correctly i i remember you i created you my image perfect and whole and loving yep case dismissed you know and it's like wow it's an easy it's the only seeming shortcut us trying to fix ourselves or contrive false versions of knowing who i am or resisting evil as i

was saying isn't going to do it you know trying to prove trying to fight the evils you know well i i was a beautiful child but then my dad did such and such to me what you're saying is i could have been and now i'm not which means you bought the evidence of the criminals in the world you have to stop and say wait i'm a holy being no matter what others ever have thought said or done to me i'm still unscathed spiritually humanly gosh man i was really affected but guess what i'm not a human

i'm a spiritual being just dreaming temporarily only that i'm a human being so technically that could be called pleading insanity because as soon as i thought i was something i'm not isn't that insanity sorry your honor i was you know in a state of amnesia i i got in that car actually thought it was mine the medical science can prove it i thought it was my car and yeah you're right i did drive it if the police did pull me over and they arrested me for car theft but i was in a state of amnesia i didn't

know who i was and they're likely not throwing you in jail and when we do this spiritually it's the same thing instead of well yes i ended this life as an angry person but look what they did to me they're going to say oh we're really sorry they did that that wasn't very nice of them so we're gonna send you back and that'll be your mom next lifetime you know or your fifth husband or whatever so just because you can blame others doesn't mean you're home back to who you are it means i'm still caught up in the

cycles and the wording of this world which means they have to send you back to this world because those are the rules you're using try the supernatural rules of i am that i am find your center so for example i am okay i did a talk it's on one of our uh videos on this but i am okay so i am i am that i am that's the divine name of god but where is god moses went up the mountain moses had communion with god received the commandments or you know techniques that he was receiving of being spiritual he goes up the

mountain he has this vision fiery but she's having this conversation now that all happened but in reality we hear about that as an external story moses led the israelites out of captivity moses went up and talked to god but really all this was an internal experience i'm not saying it didn't happen outside i'm saying it only happened outside because it was also happening within that master moses the difference is moses was externally leading people which is right to do out of captivity and in a way you could almost say martin

luther king was like a reincarnation at least the archetype of moses leading people out of a form of captivity which is always a good thing to do the difference between the guys that the martin luther king the mother teresa or whomever the people externally leading a people is that jesus says i'm going to do it internally i'm not going to lead you which is what some people thought he was going to do and they lost faith in him because he didn't do what they wanted him to do back to how we started family

members and people pushing and pulling us no that's not what i'm here for and they turn their backs on him well if you're not going to if you're not going to save us the way i want you to then i'm not going to support you there go my donations so he's holding center and he's saying it's been done if you want to be led externally read exodus read moses study the teachers that talk about the external deliverance nice job i mean it's great to do he's saying but i'm i'm not even a

believer in the external world so i'm going to talk to you about how to save yourselves inside and it's not by worshiping jesus as much as some people think as becoming christ in ourselves that's that i am presence so the i am in us is the christ presence the i am figuratively okay our upper three chakras are like the i am presence of god that's the trinity of god that's why you see that nice halo on holy figures it means i'm in touch with my golden light of god right here man woman child every anybody and

everybody that chooses such here it is now here's my holy self there's my human self so religiously we thought well i'm going to extract my human self because it's naughty that's not how you reach enlightenment you have to bring this to all parts of yourself can you eat while still in this state oh absolutely but it has to be certain foods really that's interesting so it's like i'm holy as long as i don't eat you know what do you call like your you know as long as you don't eat preservatives

you know how do you know maybe maybe preservatives will preserve your holiness better i don't know you know but you can't say i'm holy and then think something of this world down here lower chakras has power over you it doesn't make sense i'm holy i'm i'm holy i'm holy i have a holy meditation be quiet in their kids i'm trying to meditate okay holy holy you know what i mean it's it's not easy to hold space while the world is you know just storming around but it can be done and it has been done

so here's my space the i am presence the letter i okay it starts with a one point and ends with one there's an i an a i a m an a starts with one point so the i starts with one ends with one because it ends with one to connect with the top of an a and the a starts with one and ends with two so that it can meet with the tops of the m you see and then it ends with three three chakras three points at the bottom one at the top because the trinity of god is one so the i am presence literally using the letters of the alphabet the i am the

divine of god is right here so when moses goes up the mountain to see god and god says he says what's your name god i am wow so moses was thinking and this is what people do you know but the people are like going hey did you hear what moses was told god said in the commandments worship me and no other okay cool where are you you went outside again if you try to worship god out up in the sky and say i'm a great worshiper and devotee of god and it's out out there but not within yourself you're a hypocrite so it's kind of funny

because it's like a bad monty python episode you know where where hello lord how would you have us worship worship the i am okay where is it it's within you hey did you hear what he said he wants us to worship the i am within him and it's a him he's a male we're certain of it you know and it's like humans but really what you know and people will say it's sacrilegious to say i'm learning to honor the i am within myself oh that's conceited it's egotistic it's sacrilegious

no it's sacrilegious to pretend you don't have an i am and that you have to worship one outside somewhere that's sacrilegious but we twist things around so i'm gonna choose to be all that god created me to be it created me to be in its image and there's a great part in jesus calling it's a a channeled book of sorts but trust and thankfulness in a sense trust and and thankfulness are a cure for so many of the issues we have in our lives trust and thankfulness it's like okay uh trust is the opposite of worrying

thankfulness is the opposite of obsessing so if i sit with myself how often do you obsess michael how often do you you know fear do you worry well it happens and i try to fight it and i try to stuff it and no how about just nurturing the positive opposite i'm going to nurture knowingness resist not evil don't fight your propensity to worry or obsess or feel an addiction bring love to it i'm going to practice gratitude instead of obsessing if i'm going to obsess let me obsess on how grateful i am for the goodness that

keeps sprouting in my life i'm going to focus on light and love and truth not as a you know sort of a as a as a denial form you know oh everything's just fine you know i'm not asking you to be a pollyanna but to be able to say i see the value of knowing the truth but respecting the illusion the value of knowing the truth and people are going to ridicule you know you know mr mrs positive thinking you know they're going to laugh at you and you'll come into work one day and they're gonna own

the positive thinker especially if you work some places you know more acceptable in sedona you know but some places not so and um well this place is a trip in a good way you know it's kind of kind of cool you know you know i i shared this before but it's just sedona i had a guy come to do a um an appraisal or something i think it was an inspection when i bought a house and he's doing this you know his water heater and coppers okay fittings and meters and he's walking around and when he's done he's like okay and so

there's my car and thank you very much and then here's also i'm a reiki master i swear to god it was hilarious i do feng shui and i'm a reiki master only in sedona like only in sedona like you go to other cities and you have an inspection done when they're done you know and it's you know it's like okay you know i'm done with the inspection here and you know and but here you're like would you like your chakras balanced well i while i write up your bill i mean it's just kind of fun and kind of cool

you know so inevitably inevitably you're you know you'll have some of that in your life where people oh here's the positive thinker and they will extra attack when you have a flat tire on your way to work oh where's the positive thinker now and i remember when i was in high school there was this very deeply spiritual teacher i really really love this lady but i was a kid and i was hearing for the first time this michael you have to practice positive thinking i'm like because this is foreign to me especially

since this is like 1943. so well you know way a long time ago six you know whatever years so way back and she's saying positive thinking i'm like seriously like so so what do you do you know when there's issues like like at the time there was a a gas crisis like she i said i'm hearing all these adults complaining about gas prices and the and the crisis and you know what do you do how do you handle some of this world stuff and she said well with the gas crisis i give thanks that i have a good enough

income to pay for fuel she wasn't in denial this lady lived these principles most of us have known so at least one person like that they're not in denial i'm talking about the ones that actually get it i'm i'm fine with this illness there are some people in denial but some actually get it and they'll go oh the poor thing they're in denial you get a divorce i feel good it feels like i'm starting a new life oh honey you need to go get drunk with us they think you're the one with the

problem i know the world doesn't support it but you have to support it you have to tell yourself it's the right thing and you have to be consistent about that knowing this isn't something i hope is true i actually believe this well then how did you end up with a flat tire don't know it happens because i'm in this world but i still know the truth and respect the illusion or as some people would call it yeah it's a test of my faith however you decide to see it just be careful not to resist evil evil

isn't just the actions up outside world it's in the air resist not evil means don't judge yourself when you have doubts and fears but do bring in the positive opposites so i will not obsess on on the mistakes i make in my life i will not obsess it's not necessary it's far too easy and it's another form of addiction being down on ourselves is actually an addiction well no because i don't really like this you don't like hangovers either but you keep drinking it's an addiction and it's a self-loathing addiction

see it for what it is and instead of getting tight about it wow and i don't have to do this i don't have to have an emotional hangover because of this i think i'm going to choose something different today i think i'll go with trust instead of worry trust in what where's god that's the ego when you hear the voice well what are you going to trust in you can't prove god there's fact finders now on the internet that'll say well you know there's no actual evidence because they're heading

for that okay they're heading for that as soon as they tell you there's one thing that's not true they're going to go after all of them and pretty soon nothing is true nothing is true except for their politic and their science theirs and those things aren't real at all but what are you gonna do come up with a spiritual fact finder hi i'm not going to allow anything of politics or science uh false science that is on my websites or my pages because i find you to be an illusion you know you'd have to start your own

internet spelled i-n-n-e-r inter-net um you know you know and and play this completely different and and you will still be a minority but you'll be a minority with people that are at a higher and higher frequency vibration consciousness and it just becomes you know this stuff is not part of my reality and you you like like angels and higher beings they don't see evil and it sounds when you hear in a course in miracles and the bible resists not evil you think that's a form of denial because the world is so

obsessed with seeing nothing but challenges and evil resist not evil and that's not easy in reality it's easy in the earth plane it's not so because in the earth plane you'll be going i got in a center and then someone you love dies or gets injured and you're sucked in this world is going to do it so know the truth but respect the illusion go easy on yourself when you slip and you found yourself hating the evils of this world you know hurting inside when i heard that someone had abused my oldest daughter many many years ago

you know i wasn't like oh i mean i also didn't flip out i i felt pain inside and it you know it broke my mind in a way it was like such a a traumatic thing of course nothing compared to what this person endured as a child but inside of my being it was like pain like oh but i still did my best to stay in my center and i still can forgive myself for going wow got hooked there for a moment it's all we have to do you know treat yourself like a child that you love you know honey yeah so you got an f on a on a

a test study more center more you know just go easy on yourself this world is already trying to beat you up why should you add to it so see through it resist not evil there's you know this great quote as you know um from yogananda we are no longer the wave of consciousness thinking itself separated from the sea of cosmic consciousness we are the ocean of spirit that has become the wave of human life so we are this spiritual consciousness this spirit that seems to have become this how much we dance in it and believe in

it is choice so there's what is then there's the choice maker in between what is and what isn't and what isn't in my life is just a reflection of what i believe is that is god the i am presence the more i know who i am the more it's going to reflect in what is or seems to be my human life so this world can reflect that i'm in a healthy state of center it'll still trip me now and again because that's how it's designed we designed a world to forget who we are so it's filled with all kinds

a gauntlet of tests so see i told you so you're not divine i see i proved it you know disallowing certain posts we're going to do all kinds of things to disallow you from being a divine being and you can say well that's not for me no thanks i don't believe it i don't buy into it and if people push you enough don't hate them for it but you can walk away and when you walk away all you're really saying is i would like this to be an inner you know an easier experience for my holding my center

but this is pushing me a little too far so i'm going to go get my happy space i'm not saying what you should do or shouldn't do that confirms that you're not being in a judgmental place you do what works for you but i will take care of me you're really not doing anything more than you would for a child mommy i had struggle at school today and this happened in that well honey why don't we do this instead all you're doing is self-instructing from a loving place in a sense that's easy but because we've forgotten

who we are we've forgotten how to love ourselves when we've forgotten how to love ourselves we don't know how to do course correction we wait till things go way off course we have to be you know near dead before we go into recovery or near dead before we decide to get a divorce or near dead before we decide to make a course adjustment that's called learning the hard way all i need to do the more i know who i am the more i can tell when i started veering off a little look at how you drive you know why why in movies you see them

doing this if they just do this you know it's not a real movie a real you know a realistic scene because that's not how you drive you're always doing this why because your add no you're doing this because you know instinctively there's constant course correction constant and that's all we have to do constant course correction what person wants to be waiting until they've rolled their car off the freeway oh that's what it was what was happening when i heard that from the you know the little bumps on

the you know on the lane change i should have caught on yeah that was someone being annoying or someone being hurtful catch on just catch on sooner so i love i love that quote from yogananda and i'm going to close with this remember that there's spirit which is their spirituality which is halfway back to spirit and there's religion and in the world of religion this lowest level there's even the non-religious so there's even sub-levels of religion non-you know atheist but that's still a religion

there's agnostic it's still a religion of sorts but this world even those who are religious are still part of a world that lacks spirituality and spirit unfortunately there are people that are religious that believe in spirit and they tap into spirit the best they can but our goal is to more and more in this world become spiritual because that's in the remembrance of our being spirit i am that i am you say well really i mean what do you do with that business cards hi what's your name i hear you do massage i hear you're an

architect how do we hire you well you can reach me just call i am well yeah but what's your name i am i mean it's just going to make people angry at you you know they're going to think you're doing like weird word games so i'm not telling you to put that on your cards but i am saying we have to remember that it's still who we are i am i am made in the image of god and god is the ultimate i am the i am is right here i am right here and when i struggle with stuff of this world i need to say hey be still

and know the i am i need to let the divine in me speak to the human part lighten up over there i'm feeling really angry about i understand cry do some anger exercises and you do them and then when that happens a veil opens and it comes washing through when this spirit is willing but the flesh is weak when this human part no we we want to stay angry one knock it off you bring the other you start with the mothering aspect of god honey you're hurting let me hold you but if your ego still wants to stay out of control and

you want to become a hurtful person like those who hurt you and you want to get out of line that far there's a point where you're allowed to call on the father aspect stop be still and know the presence of god you see that's what that means be still and know i am god practice it stop when your mind is going all kinds of they're not going to like me and this is going to happen i'll probably fail at this and stop wouldn't you rather know the i am presence of god well i guess so all right now if you're scared and you have

phobias and fears and obsessions once you write them down it's a great buddhist exercise write down all that could go wrong get it out of your head burn it and be at peace wouldn't you like to know i am the i am presence of god it's a question you can ask yourself some days you'll say no i'm actually not wanting to feel the i am presence of god i want to be angry have at it go nuts but remember the longer it takes to come back to center and the further far you go out the more you'll deal with

just like you get off a freeway make it the wrong exit and you take three hours to find the freeway again a lot of times the further you went off without asking instructions it'll be that amount of time it'll take to get back so go crazy as long as you want but take responsibility you might take three weeks of centering to ever find this place again so there we have it please take a few centering breaths setting aside the stuff of the world the distractions diversions all the stuff just for a moment being able to say i have

only one priority remembrance for a moment become aware of life circumstances let's just say over the last few months things you've dealt with disturbances on the news disturbances in your life financial emotional health just be aware of stuff you've dealt with somewhat recently be honest with yourself can you spot having ever gone off center and if so

how where and how far off did you go into anger fear doubt obsessing addiction attacking defending anything that's all that doing whether it was done aggressively or passive aggressively and all that's asked is that we say i recognize wreck i see it so just say that to yourself i got it i see it yes i did stare off spontaneously if possible ask yourself when i did steer off let me just ask myself in a word or two why don't defend just why be spontaneous i

was afraid i was being attacked i was angry what what was happening how did you go off center so that you're accepting a bit of a deeper role behind it you don't want to say i went off because they i'm asking what happened in you so i recognized i went off center and i accept that there are some deeper issues that were there for me so why well i was scared okay then ask yourself and why why were you scared why were you angry not externally what might have been happening inside yourself i wasn't being valued

i wasn't being respected i was losing something see look for the deeper statement behind the word or two so where there might have been some deeper issue let's ask ourselves is there a way that trust or love or peace opposite words may have helped i i did forego those words and i got triggered but where did i not experience peace and trust in how could i have so just imagine how you could have brought that other characteristic in that other feeling in well if i would have been in a state of trust here's what would have happened

if i would have called in peace and centeredness here's how i would have responded if i would have been in a state of love here's what i would have done differently see that for yourself and practice living thinking feeling from that place when these challenges come up and we close with hearing that voice deep in the being be still even though i slipped i see how i could have come back now be still and know that i am presence of god be still and know how the holy spirit the divine mother would have had me be what she would have

had me do think say experience to be different be still and know that instead of attack defense and so on quiet voice be still be still everything's okay yeah but but shh everything's okay you are a divine being the voice tells us you are my beloved child in whom i am well pleased trust in your divinity trust in everyone else's even when they don't act like it and you will evoke it from them when we pray we're often praying and commanding god to make people's evil go away god's saying love the hell out

of them you hold your center and trust in them and all else will fall away it may not happen immediately but that's what trust is things you don't often see but know that it'll happen i know and i trust in the i am presence of god in myself and in others that will evoke it in others and so it is thank you all right just take a moment to relax stretch out a little bit this is part of what the difference is between the old and new dispensations of spirituality even the old dispensations of religion and spirituality we're still talking too

much about outside world now we're learning inside inside inside all right becoming internalized not talking about jesus buddha whatever but becoming the christ ourselves please stand for our closing i want to thank you all again so bless you if you joined us late because of uh or early or whatever it happens when you have daylight savings time um hi online um see we're we're in sedona so we just don't bother with time you know we're we're either very spiritual so time doesn't affect us or we're just

passive aggressive um anyway so god bless thank you for joining us here and online our closing prayer if you don't know the words it's on the front of your bulletin and it's posted online first centering in gratitude and a state of gratitude for whatever we happen to hear today that can speak to our souls as well as for the spiritual brotherhood sisterhoods here the light of god surrounds us we are the light of god the love of god enfolds us we are the love of god the power of god protects us we are the power of god and the presence
