Spirit, Soul, and Human Self

When people ask me, you know this happens almost every day, but the terminology, somebody might say, "What role do you play at Unity? What is Unity of Sedona?" I can't really call it a church. What role do you play? Am i a priest? No.

Well, so what am i exactly? So we just kind of got used to describing this as part of a spiritual leadership. But I love the fact that we're sort of all participating in that. This is kind of a, we're all moving and grooving together. Now, I'm saying this in part because of what you you could expect the more you practice this and live this whether it's in your workplace or your home you're still going to generally be the oddball you know you're you're going to be the one that doesn't quite fit in at the family reunions you know I've gone to family things you know it's been it's oh my god must have been at least

10 15 years that I've gone to any family function because you're my family now and you know and that's it but but you know it's been a long time but they you know when they look at me and they're all in suits I've worn a tie I think once in my life and you know and and it's it's just not really our thing right so I go to a family function once and if I were sure it's like this you know they think what do you you know so you're going to get that Jesus got that Buddha got that you know you're going to get that this is part of the path we

have to remember that our dealing with life stuff mainly comes not by your reactions to it or wishing it didn't happen but by your immunity baby you're just so centered in who you are it doesn't matter what they say and we do shift out of seeing things as right and wrong and there's all kinds of various definitions about that there is no wrong well if I kick you I'm actually wrong for kicking you meaning I'm coming from my hateful mind and that's that's not my healthy self so it's okay to say I can make healthier

and healthier choices yet it's tricky because we're saying there's no good there's no bad meaning don't don't get caught up in the human perceptions of right and wrong just recognize human perceptions of wrong are just as in a sense part of the limited world as what we perceive is wrong because it's still me thinking it's still me perceiving at the end of the day all of the horrible things that have ever happened will disappear into nothingness it have no power but disappear into nothing is what we don't

like to hear is so will the nice things we go oh no no I want my childhood abuse to be gone but daffodils I want forever it doesn't work that way that's why we haven't yet let go of this world because we still think we need to give God a checklist of which things we still want to have around you know I want to let go of factories but I still want to keep my organic food place when you realize that all all foods in illusia all of it disappears but humans just haven't acclimated yet to that so when people ask questions in an tangible good

valuable question normal questions what what are you what are you about I go to a family reading what are you about I don't know and generally what I do is I search my mind for the the best answer for them not because I'm letting them limit my answer it's called love and respect so if I'm talking to one group of people fayette family some family i might say i'm a counselor oh cuz that sounds semi respectable you know I can't go well I do this thing where we hang out in Sedona Oh Sedona yeah and we

all just kind of chant you know and we just kind of sing and and so on and sometimes people have seen UFOs out the window behind me when I'm talking and angels and you can't do that at family reunions it just it just doesn't go well so I generally try to find it's called the greater good what answer would be the greater good now some of you say no I'm not going to say what they need I want to speak well that's the wounded you that still needs to be loud which is probably the original obnoxious part of you that they didn't like in the first

place so what's nice is you guess you just get so clear I don't have to answer I don't have to say anything I don't have to prove anything so you become so clear you you actually are capable of thinking for the all instead of the self I need to say it's what would be the best answer for everybody right now I'm a counselor oh okay yeah and inside you know there's laughter I mean to a degree cause you realize what you're doing but it's it's beautiful and people say you

know are you the you know such-and-such here I'm part of the spiritual leadership you know I answer that on a regular basis and and sometimes I think maybe people think that I'm being evasive by not giving them an answer that seems normal but I'm giving them an answer that's true if they say are you um are you the pastor no but I might give them because they they're sometimes what they're asking is are you involved here are you a leader and that I sometimes would have to say yes because that's

what they're asking for that's what they need but just understand it is tricky to answer some of those simple questions and if it's difficult for me it's going to be or is also going to be the same for you what are you what do you believe in what religion are you what do you answer anymore no religion and yet all religions do do get philosophical how do you answer how do you answer these questions anymore I'd I don't know you know um and I I just pray and ask for the best answer for where they're at

and then sometimes it's nice just to say what do you practice and when they say oh I practice this and that what's nice is if you have a diversity behind you you can say oh I love that see now you connect with them and you also change the subject you know I mean there is a little bit of that the the concept some people have asked this week can you talk about like God and our place in God and how this is reality and illusion and so I want to share something with you the Bible tells us this you know this concept of Genesis

in the beginning there was just paraphrasing but in the beginning there's this void this void this empty space and God creates heaven and earth and this is important because human beings then think that's the scripture is telling us God created the heaven and earth you know earthen and them universe and then we read A Course in Miracles in it says God actually didn't create anything material so we say well that sounds like a contradiction in the Bible it says a God created heaven and earth and then it says and the earth was

without form you know that means God creates in consciousness so there's an earth that we know not of because we're busy looking at the one we can see God created a universe but formless meaning without limited dimensionality see God created all things in consciousness and in a frequency of perfection perfection meaning it's not tainted bull it's it's something that is eternal even planets and stars can die so there's a universe that cannot die or perish or be limited in any way and then there's our universe

the ones we started as co-creators coming in soon as we got into a fearful state of mind which we can't go into all the details of that but as soon as we decided we're limit beings we then manufacture a limited universe God created an unlimited one we when we started believing we're limited beings co-created with God and said thank you for that beautiful formless limitless dimensionality or non dimensionality for that matter and we have something to add to that limitation so we created I know it sounds kind of

strange but so we created this a limited universe and then it says in the Bible then God said let there be light and then God divided the light from the dark and said you know this is now day and night simple enough now there's something called now understand that's the Bible and where did the Bible get that and people go well God wrote it yeah that's right God got a pen and wrote or no no it was a typewriter oh no way it was what how far do you go with this God carved it in Rock God didn't write

it as we know it and before the Bible's creation story they got that from the Assyrians and Babylonian you know peoples and Babylonians and Sumerians so so this has been passed down since the beginning even stories about Jesus became a manifestation of something that anxious were already talking about it's still beautiful because what he did was he became the embodiment of it but the concepts were already there in Greek mythology we're talking about a long time before the recorded history of

Genesis and the Torah the Greeks had already said almost the same story but in Greek mythology they say in the beginning there was this formless void called chaos and again they used the term chaos for some reason gets interspersed with that but there's this form formless void and it becomes the mother and you've heard me say many times the universe is the womb of the mother and all things are created that all things that manifest are an expression of the mother so she can mirror back to us our consciousness so

the Greeks are saying there's this chaos in this you know this emptiness and then it becomes the I'm calling it the womb but it becomes the mother and then the mother you know says and and mother is also in this called Nick's or night which is also where you get the word nil meaning nothingness yet everything will come from this the womb is this place of darkness in which all things are created the womb is like a dark a metaphor of this dark space but look what happens in the womb a quickening takes place and a child is

born but this isn't talking about a physical woman's talking about the womb of consciousness there's a moment where God says let there be light and that's our creation but then there's also this empty void which is the moment we said what if we're not the light of God now darkness suddenly happened and we have a choice and the mother saying I'm an empty canvas waiting I can reflect to you that you are perfect light of God or I can reflect that you're afraid and limited whatever you want me to reflect I will objectively reflect and show you

where you are why because if I show you where you are and you believe you're a limited pained painful being then maybe that'll encourage you to wake up and come back to the light see it's all about trying to get us back home but she doesn't force it she just holds space in more ways than one so in some stories this mother also becomes the mother of Cupid and in the Greek mythology's Cupid ends up penetrating the earth and turning the earth into a place of life so what I'm saying is that the Greeks have this way of saying the same thing

but before the Bible was written saying the same thing but using these metaphors of you know it's Nicks and it's void that they're using characters but in Greek myth cosmology not now mythology they say it differently they say well the beginning there's there's they're calling it gods but we call it planets there's this being you're honest and you're honest meats and joints with the earth or Gaia Uranus represents heaven yin and yang and Chinese you know an Asian stories but you're honest joins with Gaia who is

earth and they start to give birth to other beings they give birth to the Titans one of the Titans is Saturn and I'll be brief with this but just keep up with me they give birth to the Titans one of them is Saturn who becomes known as Satan which is why people don't like Saturn Returns in their life because that is cosmologically astrologically Satan coming back to what well linear thinking and religions went Satan's the bad guy that ruins your day people that see things as a big picture they go No Satan is Saturn that comes back to teach your lessons every so

often besides what could Satan if there's a Satan in Hell sitting around going I need more people I'm getting bored you notice I need more people to punish you know what what could it punish you for if it wasn't your own things issues so Saturn see how it becomes objective and beautiful where Saturn every so comes around you nervous so often to bring us back and mirror these things to us again so also known as Chronos and all that but it's it's Saturn and then Saturn battles with your honest and wounds him and and the blood

from from from your honest it becomes what's called in Greek cosmology mythology the Furies but what the Greeks are doing is giving names to things you could just say I'm so angry today the Greeks would say you're being tempted by the Furies you see what the word fury means they think of everything as having consciousness not just a mood it's a thing it's a it's a you're dealing battle with consciousness edgar cayce talked about things sometimes you know health things right but sometimes he talked about surgery

and he would say something like surgical forces are needed to improve the circulatory forces he didn't say your blood humans are so linear now especially in the Western world the ancients in the Chinese systems and in the Greek mythology we were living in this whole system of consciousness there's this whole system so planets weren't you think this and that and it wasn't just beings it's our dance with the consciousness of the Furies and explain a little bit more on that but at some point Chronos or or

Saturn gives birth with his beloved they give birth to Pluto Neptune and Jupiter the reason I'm saying this is because we end up with a planetary version once upon a time there's da da da da da and you know heaven and earth create children the titans the titans one of them becomes Saturn Saturn goes on and battles with your honor you know and so on and so on but at some point children are birthed again these gods of Olympus and the final of them is Jupiter not final but a finale is Jupiter now Jupiter is also known as it's do pitar right pitar means father

so jew-jew means the Jupiter means like God the Father and Jew means Theo's or Theo Dios in all these different languages they're talking about God but the ancients said that the god a lot of people talk to is just Jupiter it's and even even Jehovah they're all just this one God of the ancients now you can say well that gets too complicated actually it simplifies it means that there are more things in heaven and earth that are dreamt of in all your philosophies it means that sometimes that people pray to a god it was just one aspect of God they

were personifying it and saying I'm talking to the one and only God and Jupiter is saying oh okay you know if that's all you understand for now and yet look at how the mythologies were saying to us today you're talking to Jupiter God the Father as we pray and look to the heavens God the Father but notice that there's another God Saturn that's going to bring your stuff around every so often so there's more than one being because there's more than one aspect of our consciousness ultimately it'll all dissolve no names no God's no

goddesses to the oneness of absolute the Bliss of God but in the meantime it seems to have become a bit you know complicated now and this is also Zeus juice TOC Zeus so we name this guy Zeus Zeus has a daughter named Persephone why am I telling you this because you are God had a daughter his Persephone represents Eve and our soul so after all this mythology go this is interesting but it's a lecture about Greek mythology now the point was that the Bible corresponds with Greek mythology and corresponds with cosmology

and astrology at the end of the day and then where do we fit into this so we can make it practical because one of those gods Theo Zeus has a daughter named Persephone what happens to Persephone she gets trapped she gets captured kidnapped this is the stories and mythologies of one called Sophia and Sophia is our soul because the story of Sophia or Persephone is she's beautiful she's innocent that's you and me before the fall quote-unquote the fall so there's this beautiful being Persephone

okay that's me and then she's so sweet and innocent but then something happens she gets kidnapped that's what the story of Sophia is all about the story of the soul is that once upon a time she lives with the divinity the God and the gods and goddesses she's she's sweet she's innocent and then there's this thing that happens she gets kidnapped which means we got caught in the material universe and forgot the pure universe we got caught into a realm like almost like the gravitational pull of the universe so our soul got trapped here

what Persephone what they say is that Persephone ate of a poisonous pomegranate and the reason it's a pomegranate because originally was not an apple it was a pomegranate and for various reasons she ate of this pomegranate so there's this there's still a chance they're saying okay we'll wait Persephone could still be awakened which means you and me when we start to have doubtful thoughts fear that divorce is going to get the best of us fear that a disease is going to get the best of us when we get into

the fear of it we're actually inflating it so what's happening is they sent Persephone she got trapped which is you believing something has power over you like a partner from the past an abusive person from your past oh but I've been abused now I'm trapped no you're not but wait so they say before we know whether Persephone's trapped we have to know did she eat of the pomegranate yes she did and you know who told her that not the Furies but the fates in Greek mythology they're called the fate what

do you think that means now fate has got her which means karma so once she bit from the pomegranate is she still able to be kept you know brought back quick let's get her before she falls before you and I fall before you start to believe someone has power over you in a divorce or a business transaction somebody's taking advantage before you believe it did you bite it did you did you bite into it did you take the bait you see the metaphor did you take the bait so did she yes the fates said it's too late she got captured she got

trapped so that's what happens there the later parts of Greek mythology become not per se Persephone's being saved that's the soul level of understanding now what we've done is gone from spiritual Upper three chakra self down to the soul Persephone in the heart you're you and me are innocent Eve and then the fall in the garden is symbolized by us moving from the Garden of Eden in our hearts down to the lower three chakras of humanists lower three chakras representing the third dimension and now we're here fate would say well

you the one who bit from the apple the pomegranate now you're stuck you took the bait you see what I mean by there you you bid it you took you took it on okay great the rest of me Greek mythology's remember are all Saul about heroes and heroines gods and goddesses in the making so once we took the bait it's not over but Greek mythology changes to now it's up to you to become heroes you see yes you have fallen all the way to the human level but you must wake up how Perseus you know and all the other

male and females what did they do those ones that went through store brings Greek mythology's are not for us to sit around and go once upon a time Greek mythology's are supposed to say and in my life how does this look how does this apply to me whether it's Greek mythology or any other how does this apply to me because now mythology is telling you about how to wake up because the idea of leaving God is not something that can actually happen but it's something that we can dream is happening so what do you think mythology is it's

telling us about the dream when you read about the book of in the Bible Genesis it's telling us about the dream of separating from God you can't separate from all that is then it's at the end of the book all the creepy revelation stories it's telling us about all the horrible things that could happen at the end of our lives how life comes to a destructive ending but really the mythology is no it's actually when you finally are done suffering enough you're going to wake up because the book of Revelation as you've heard me say many

times ends with a wedding so it's the marriage of our humaneness to our soul and our soul to spirit because we have three identities a spiritual self a soul self the spiritual self it's the upper three chakras a soul self which is the heart and a human self which is the lower three chakras the human self so the bottom line is we we learned to live so much the human self that we have almost completely forgotten the soul self and definitely the spiritual self we can sit around and affirm that we that we know and remember the other self

but every time something seems to happen and and seemingly seemingly go wrong we bit from the apple again every time somebody says something or does something I'm and it's easy to get trapped as soon as you accidentally you know you're hammering an L and it hit your finger out in that moment you bit potentially bit and said I'm a limited being and that hammer has just hurt me I'm a spiritual being that can't be harmed so this world is constantly hammering on us to take the bait that we're limited

be I'm not saying you've done something wrong and you got to go that did not hurt that did not hurt you know so that you're more spiritual I'm not saying that that's the answer what I'm saying is it's actually healthier for us to go out and then go mad isn't that funny I'm an unlimited spiritual being and this thing the head of which is only about an inch by an inch just made me think that I'm a limited mortal I mean kind of see it and turn it into something to laugh about rather than to take so seriously and and

I know that's not always easy but that can be changed so we're looking at these mythologies and look at Perseus for example he gets devoured by a monster you know how long he stays in the monster's tummy before he comes back three days so before by thousands of years before there's a Jesus there are stories of Heroes that will descend into darkness for three days which is us having to go into our dark night of the soul and come out the Christ well I would but you know Satan got me know that was Saturn trying to teach you

something what did you learn well nothing because I was so miserable I was angry I was sad that I was going through this oh you forgot see you made yourself a limited human being who has someone out there named Satan just jabbing at with his pitchfork from the other side in other dimensions making you a miserable being that's not what we're supposed to be studying and believing we're supposed to be saying it all is part of me and when I am going through hell I'm not dragged into help by the devil I'm actually the hell's in me and

Saturn has come to show me and it's up to me to do something about it to dissipate it now another version of the creation story and our final one is what in the beginning there's God and God created us in God's image right we just simply believe we separate it from that love and that grace that perfection of God's presence so this is all good news II it's almost like God said okay I'm going to I'm going to channel to these people this one idea mankind or God's creation was made in God's image they can't screw

that up because if they even humans look to the skies and said you are Almighty and you're made in my image but we don't get that you only you are Almighty we're really a problem people here man and you are beautiful but we're not and you are timeless and we're not and you are ageless and we're it doesn't make any sense God's going what's wrong with you people I told you you're made in my image how can you say anything about me that's of a beautiful benevolent nature

and not own it that's sacrilegious to try to change what God tells us is sacrilegious it's it's it's rude it's ridiculous there's all kinds of other terms the ancient Sumerians called it stupid no but it makes no sense God creates us in its perfect and holy image and we say in response our thank you is to say we have a different opinion it doesn't make any sense that's why the great teachers of all teachers have said it's about remembering you don't have to improve upon yourself it's just remember you allow yourself to

be who you really are divine holy but don't just say it you have to start acting it to think it good thoughts good words good deeds let this be very a very clear congruence and even though I've said that we're made in the image of God I also want to clarify there's a creator and a created and that's why we need that humility because the so called fall in the Christian mysticism took place how it's when we were created in God's image and for a moment we thought to ourselves what if we don't need the Creator because we're creators now so

we'll just do this on our own the idea that we could function without the original holiness of our source is where that arrogance which they now then put on Satan battled with Michael and the legions of angels because Satan wanted to take over heaven that's not Satan it's us and if you say well I don't know if I agree to forget that for a moment just think about what we do every day think about everyday when we try to use our will instead of surrendering to the greater good that works through us when

we start to individuate in a negative sense in debate individuate in a negative sense I know what's best I have an opinion I have a instead of saying I don't know that's the only eye we should be saying is I don't know because in the last shall be first so if I learn to say I don't know all of a sudden I become I am one with God if I say I don't need God because I'm cool I fall again and every time we think we'll fix our problems if I just do I need I need a better income ok so what I'm going to do is I'm going to start charging more

because I deserve it because my life coaches are telling me you deserve to charge my I know that makes sense but is it an inspiration well inspirations don't give me the cash I want more cash see so that's the little week I am throwing a tantrum it's very scary someone was just sharing this morning this beautiful thing they read in A Course in Miracles that said you folks have gotten used to thinking that the way you try to fix your lives is the easy way and that studying spirituality is the chore the spirituality is what

teaches us the easy way we've been working far too hard to try to not just improve our lives or actually in trying to do it ourselves or sabotaging the answer we've got to come back to finding that that humility so we are the created not to create or and being made in the image of God does not mean we of ourselves our God we're a part of God and it gets very complicated for some people but again summarizing in the beginning there's God and we're part of God we're part of the Trinity of God we are the one they call the Sun but it

means the child so we are part of the Trinity of God there's the father mother aspect of God in us that's beautiful perfect the children of God for various reasons decided they could think that they could be separate we descended into being individual souls from a one spiritual God self to individual souls that reincarnate then we descended further into being humans with all these various bodies and we actually think that our little few years on the planet is all we are and some of us go but I don't believe that

anymore I'm aware that there's an eternal self and it goes lifetime to lifetime that's called the soul so we have to learn to start identifying with our soul its ambassador consciousness it's the one that is the the memory of all the Acacia chrec ERDs are the mind of the soul so we have to get out of the petty little nosov it's kind of like saying the difference between on a hand humans think that their fingertips the soul is the hand you see the difference no I don't like you I don't get along with you I have a different religion I

have the first finger religion I have the pinky religion you know my politics are this minor that you know and then there's the middle finger politics but I just thought of that but anyway these are human beings talking but wait there's more they're all part of the hand so when we go through a veil and think that this is me this is you this I don't agree you take the veil away and look what happens we start to go god that was silly wasn't it and this is what happens to human beings when they pass over there's a certain amount not a

perfect amount but a certain amount of oh my god what was I thinking I thought that I was married to you in another lifetime you betrayed me I came back in this lifetime betrayed you thinking I'll get you back but who's the you I'm getting that well that was me beating myself up you see that's the greater soul but I'm not forgetting that the hand is part of the body and that's God you see so it's just a matter of perspective we're sitting around talking about fingertip consciousness but there's a hand which

is the soul and then there's the body which is God ultimately we've got to get out of my littleness to who I really am but the children of God temporarily thought on something other you know I'm I'm not the body of God I'm now a hand which is a collection of souls and then we go through a veil and we became individuated in a negative sense all these individuals seemingly having individual experiences as I'm coming to a close now here's some of our problems this was all important to build the groundwork to this because now what did

I say you have a spiritual self a soul self and a human self and human beings tend to start talking about their problems and and remember what it would from here on try to remember when I'm talking about my problems I'm talking about my fingertips compared to the whole body if my fingertips are touching a rock outside and it's real let's say it's real sunny and hot out and it burns I just move it I move it I can't go finger tip could you move please it just goes I can't on a limited human being man I'm just stuck in this

marriage or this job somebody's got to step up and be a little greater right we just know that you don't say oh gosh this is sunny spot I'm going to lay down naked on this rock it's you go oh I think I learned the one that thinks it learns is the soul and it takes that lesson to the next lifetime in the next it's kind of cool but after the soul is done thinking that it's learning and healing when ultimately we re Wed ourselves to the spiritual self there were and there were never any lessons you were never flawed in the first place

to learn anything because when God said I made you in my perfect and holy image it we never needed to say and we will improve upon that that does it think about it it makes no sense so all the learning and healing will ultimately end with laughter because wow isn't that weird we're still back to where we were in the first place a journey without distance to a place we never left holiness we we find grace and we go thank God God bestowed grace upon me because I was doing these naughty things and I was filling karma but God gave me

the law of grace that dentist doesn't happen that way what happens is I get over myself and I become the grace of God it's not a thing bestowed upon us it's something we become the characters in Greek mythology you know they become like gods and goddesses again after being humans but that was there all the time we had it all along but we have to remember it but you can't just say I'm remembering it as a sentence you have to live it you have to think it you have to you know acted in everything in every form so to complicate it though the

spiritual self is fine there's a spiritual self in you and me that's still in heaven and it cannot be separate from heaven but it's gone to sleep dreaming that it is a hand a soul in the universe and then the hand soul dreamt that it's a little individual body that's having this life sitting in this room right now see that's why mythology exists because they're telling us about a dream mythology not truth apology it's myth all it's like once upon there were these building these beings

made in oneness and you know with God and they're all the guardians and then they thought they could go elsewhere bless you they thought they could go elsewhere and in going elsewhere they started having all these strange experiences and then eventually they had an awakening and they went home the ant but at the end of the day that was a loop that started and ended in the same place one is with God and that was the end of the story but then it what if becomes a loop and so we go through these games we go through but

half of youth imagine this half of you is still aware of your soul and half of you isn't and here's how that works let's say the conscious human you says I think I'm ready for a relationship now and then nothing I'm ready for the lottery and nothing and a lot of us have done this the spiritual work own lottery lottery lottery oh man a relationship oh man you relay and we sit we focus we concentrate we affirm ations on our mirror I will have my relationship this week my new relationship will come to me this week here comes a Libra you know

whatever it is we have these affirmations that's the human self doing to try to get us something and the soul is like what are you doing but we don't know how to commune with the soul but here's what's happening a lot of times when you don't see things change in manifest people are not remembering the human self is going but I've been doing it I've been doing my Efrem it yes the humans been doing however the soul is saying we have an agreement man remember now the soul could be saying we chose for awhile let's see what year is

this okay you got five more years we chose four five more years to experience alumnus or all oneness so the soul is what what are you why are you why are you trying to find some it doesn't make any sense you're online you're looking in the paper you know match you know or whatever they all you know hookups calm so you're looking for somebody but we've already haven't we already have an agreement that you're not doing that and I'm the soul so I'm the one who will decide this soul is greater than the

little fingertip right so we're trying to win the lottery we're trying to get that new job and the soul is saying we've already made an agreement that we're fasting from relationships for a while now the humanist is driving away to make that happen now you create more conflict and hurt feelings where's God God's like way up here a complete there's human battling with the soul and then there's the spirit and that we're not even aware of and God's going what that what relationships you're one with all what else could you need no no I

want somebody a little somebody human special God's like no oblateness I'm out of here so so the spiritual self is fine the soul is is in contracts and the soul could be saying for good reasons we're fasting or the soul could be saying we have some soul level wounds don't you remember that other lifetime and the human fingertips point I don't remember any of that the soul's global denial is not going to help you I remember the wounds and until you heal the wounds I'm not bringing you the lottery or whatever it is you're praying

for and then we accuse god of not answering prayers but the conflict is with wizz within ourselves the answer would be and is you can see in your life when things do manifest it's when the human cliques the tumblers like on a lock when the tumblers click the human and the soul get it together how get the human to go into a workshop or a Center or a place of work to do healing of the soul but when you go to heal the soul and somebody says okay we're going to work on the subconscious the subconscious self which is as much

as deep as most people can go the subconscious self is still only the subconscious of your human self the soul is deeper and unless you heal on the soul level you're only helping a little bit but sometimes you're only adding frustration because you do the work and it's not happening I've done this work on this illness and it's not going away this Souls like whatever we've got a contract until you ask me I won't be able to tell you anything you want to ask me I can give you some feedback so you get the person who can help you

reach the soul and you start getting insights and sometimes the human isn't going to like it because the human wants what it wants but the human is our limit itself so what it wants not the good stuff I want answers and I want them now the human what's fast food spirituality the soul is like you know a whirlen we're on Sedona time we'll just will tell you when it's time and we're like no I got to know now so all we're doing is adding frustration there's a spiritual self there's the soul self and the

mythologies are actually telling stories of the soul self so we can learn those but then learn to shift the human self and last but not least you know there's this there's a lot of times you know when I'm teaching what I'm when I'm really working to do is is share the truth get to the truth let's talk about the truth sometimes even if it means dispelling illusions so I leave you with this some people will say you know there's quotes like God everything's for a reason you know you might like that it might be true you don't have to discern

whether something is true or not some people will say well you only teach what you have to learn that's actually not true almost everything that people say in the spiritual communities is not true it's only partially true people will say to you you only teach what you have to learn actually you teach what you have to learn or you teach what you have learned I mean come on if you know how to sew do I go oh listen here's a stitch me a shirt because you still need to learn sewing apparently because you're still

teaching it that doesn't make any sense some people actually know how to change a tire because they've done it they learn they got it and some people understand spiritual things they're not just spouting it because they need to learn it more so things you've learned you have the right to speak about because sometimes you've learned them it is also true that if you overdo it and you try to preach it to people that's probably showing you there's a little bit of the insecurity that you still need to to resolve and then there is

something to learn but don't believe that just because people have spiritual sayings that they're always true so you know one of them that I you know hear there's there are so many if you want to know more about those look at the tirades I've done we call them tirades as humorously look at the tyre reads because those kind of talk about these these ideas that tend to frustrate people that you are god oh there we go so I am God careful yes you are God but who am I talking to if I'm talking to your spirit

yes you are gone if I'm talking to your limited broken messed up human it's not accurate anymore so a lot of times people will throw out spouts out these sayings and they're just not true they're it's not that I'm saying they're trying to cause harm but they're just not true so I'm going to have you take a few centering breaths and I'm going to share the final one with you the one that seems to stand out the most lately a few centering breaths just tuning out the world only for a couple of minutes

hmm there is a saying God loves you just the way you are hear that for just a moment God loves you just the way you are what does it mean what does it feel like God loves you just the way you are that might bring you discomfort it might bring you comfort god loves you just the way you are and humans have turned this into meaning the following I have flaws I have karma idiosyncrasies addictions but God loves me just the way I am that's not what it means and then we project this we say God is so amazing God is so forgiving it even forgives me

for all my flaws and loves me just the way I am actually that's not true God is not able to even see your flaws the patience of God is not because it sees you and loves you despite your flaws it's not even capable of seeing your flaws God knows you before you became you as you know yourself to be so please meditate on this for a moment God loves your divinity that has been there since the beginning of your creation it's not to say it loves the human flawed self and no it's hard to hear and wrap our minds around it's good

news to hear that God loves your you for your divinity God told Jobe I knew you before you were job and God is telling you I love you not despite your flaws I love you because the real you has none the real you is perfectly loveable and what is that real me and let's Center on that for a few minutes what is the real me what is that the me that God truly loves and if I want to be loved by God wouldn't it mean that I have to start

accepting this part of myself this holiness notice I need do nothing as in Daoism Course in Miracles I need do nothing I don't have to fix myself and it doesn't mean I don't have work to do on earth as a human but isn't it nice to know there's a part of me that's already there it's already the state of grace and a state of love and this is the part of me I choose to be and become my job now is to do my best to get my thoughts and actions to be in alignment and congruent with the spiritual self that is already the state of God the state of

love and we close with a half a minute of visualizing in what way our actions thoughts words behaviors would be different if we're coming from this self how would our life be different and now begin giving thanks on every level heart and soul thanks but also here the feel in and hear and feel all the people in your life imagine those people becoming aware of you being the love before you were the human you being peace before you are the human what if all of that falls away and we get to be our divinity how does that change the lives of people around us less competing

less frustrations less pushing and pulling less I need a partner all of that falls away and I am as God created me I am the Living Christ and we breathe into an acceptance of that and we are grateful for their gratitude and so it is thank you just gradually stretch back into the body remember here we we don't encourage people to like have a good service listen to message or have a good meditation and then leave it what we say is try to learn from that integrate it and let it change your life okay all right we're going to do our closing song

in just a second before we do we're also going to take up our collection and and before hand I'm going to just share these couple of things first of all remember I've got a five-day mastery class coming up you're all welcome to sign up for that we saw we've also got starting this Wednesday my online course on love and forgiveness really really great people really great class you can attend in person here at unity of Sedona or online sign up anytime but sooner the better um I also wanted to mention somebody gave me a copy of her book that

Magdalene awakens Nancy Safford she's out of town this weekend but I read this book when I was on tour last week and absolutely great man it's really a great book it incorporates her life in Sedona and also in Glastonbury time she spent in England rather in and her living examples of getting inspirations and trying to juggle those in which what's what's spiritual inspiration what's ego resistance and a very good practical livet kind of a book but really really cool I was very impressed her I wouldn't be telling you about that alright so

check that out we might have them here they Magdalene awakens by Nancy Safford and lastly we're going to take up our collections we'll do a prayer if you don't know the words it's on the front of your bulletins keep in mind also last Sunday was our end of the month we came up about a grand short of last month's expenses so please help us be as generous as you can the donations that go in the blue bags are the ones for the Sundays the extra donations that go in the wicker baskets are for any extra donations you can give whether it's for

helping people of lesser means that we work or whether it's special projects but we have appreciate that we've got to get our parking lot done within a month or two and that's going to be a few thousand dollars then we want to finish our garden and that's still another several hundred dollars and also remember it was mentioned but I'm reminding you all today is our auction day we have that once a month and see those little little fairy village over there that's the ones we showed a

picture of last week and those are in the auction if somebody would like those all right all right our prosperity prayer together divine love flowing through me blesses and multiplies all that I am all that I have all that I give and all that I receive and so it is thank you all right and the folks watching online we very much appreciate you joining us we're going to sign off and do our closing song it'll be a good one you're just not going to be involved you have to miss out now we don't play these songs life

because they have copyright so that's why we have to close out the the online production before we do our closing song but bless you all thank you for joining us and I pray it's made good sense before you actually go we're going to keep you on long enough to hear some sharing does anybody want to share what you learned or heard today that made the most sense or could be the most valuable to you and the folks online can type those things in as well what did you hear or learn yes right so many places saying the same thing right and if they're all agreeing

we wait a minute let's listen you know what are they saying that this whole concept and the Greek mythology fits that and look and the cosmology fits it that this is all our consciousness being reflected a linear religion a took some of that and made it into a black and white story you were born you're screwed up you're all going to hell like that that's not there at all if you look at the bigger picture but what's funny is the Bible that we're reading that people are interpreting saying this is what it says factually came from other material

that don't say that so it's like segmenting something from it totally twisting me around and saying and this is what God says and God's why I have nothing to do with that yeah so thank you I'm glad you got that appreciated that anybody else what did you learn her here today that made the most sense or could be the most important yes right that void that darkness you know upon the darkness gods you know spirit moves upon the face of the deep and in our lives it's not just God once upon a time remember this the canvas is blank and if we know how to

connect with God we then become co-creators and it's us our mind moves upon the face of the deep and creates the canvas is empty what would you like to create well here's what I want well that's not creating now you're just trying to get something well when if you're a magnificent being what would you like to co-create and now it becomes kind of a Wow exciting and creative and it's not me and you don't get it it's my creations are always going to be for the greater good of all and I get to get that - I'm gonna part of that all

right anybody else yes yeah yeah the one about Saturn coming back around Zane's out to get me no that's just Saturn yes yeah yeah kick in the astral self yeah yes yeah we our lightworkers and you know and it's only light work while we still create anything contrary to the light of what we are which means we're only having to work at our own sabotage that we put in place and that work becomes play when we do this with God all right thank you and peace be with all of you
