Staying Connected

we have a couple of folks that just sent in questions or things we can cover in the service and I guess it applies to everyone because this question comes up the person says I'm wondering what about pains and illnesses how to cope with them even though we know this is an illusion so we hear we read you know we philosophize that the world is an illusion which is maybe Hard to Handle as a concept but another way to say it is we we co-create our reality it's it's a dreamed up world it's not it's not a

solid thing that we live in and are the victims of instead we actually are constantly individually and as a group creating the experience we're downloading into this experience our thoughts so this is so important because what it ends up doing is in our downloading what we're going to see downloading how well some of us consciously download through prayer through affirmation decrees thoughts you know but some of us the rest of us without realizing it even when we're not consciously affirming a certain reality it's always happening

anyway without us realizing it all of our thoughts and beliefs and believe it or not it's your beliefs more than your thoughts are creating the world we see now your thoughts are the ones that you think well I think I'm gonna go get a new car today and then you go get one you go wow I created one through my thinking well that's a that's cognitive thinking you have a thinking part that's not even conscious it's un it's invisible it's unknown to you that's the one that's the bigger Creator believe it

or not the other ones just kind of micromanaging I want a new car I think I'm hungry I'll get something to eat I you know the little the little duties of the day there's another thinker that we're not even aware of that is constantly downloading its beliefs into the world without even realizing it we do this while we're in the Earth plane and we do this when we're between Earth lives before we even come in there's a group of us all of us that are on the other side that are even preparing to come in

during certain eras like say World War times before we even come we already know that's what's going to happen when we get here when we get here we're adding to it even more it's it's the difference between concrete thinking like cognitive concrete thinking and abstract thought abstract thought creates what we call archetypes like hey guys it's time for us to go in and deal with not just my personal stuff we're going to go in and we are all going to work on a collective thing like anger world wars

perhaps you see it's like we have we have so many layers of the Thinker it's not the conscious one not the conscious one that balances your checkbook the soul see The Thinker is not the soul the conscious thinker is not the soul the soul is behind it not thinking but believing you cannot think I'm going to go and get a new car without believing that it's even possible on some level the belief has to be there and that's where we get frustrated because we say but I do believe I deserve a car why did I why did I put in

an offer and they rejected it because part of you believes you deserve a new car and part of you does not believe you need a new car and I believe you change what you can and you accept what you can't you recognize you know if there's a struggle if if I go and and try to get a new car see Jesus says in A Course in Miracles that human beings are really twisted in the way they think of things so in in modern new thought New Age thinking spiritual thinking we're all like you know um I'm going to manifest a new

car and that shows me how spiritual I am because I know how to use my head to make things happen and that's not actually how you should be gauging your spirituality instead like Jesus is saying in the course when you go and try to get that new car and or house or you try to move to a new town or you try to date someone and they say no thank you all those things we try to do on a regular basis thank you she tried to get a house a car and a date all this weekend so when we're doing these things Jesus is actually telling you when you think

oh it didn't go through the cell fell through for example dang it I guess I gotta work harder at at affirming it more he's saying why don't you look at the beliefs that say you don't deserve that see all the block s not just keep trying to make things happen heal the blocks so we have all of this with what all of this really means is the word responsibility we have to understand it's not just fixing things on a day-to-day basis that's that's our duty as spiritual people it's also owning the way things

are and they're not this is how I believed it to be apparently and I love to to play with words like that when someone says but I do believe I deserve that new job and I didn't get it what I do is say well part of you apparently believed it and part of you didn't you see where I'm going to go with that I wonder which one is stronger hmm maybe the one that's happening you can rest assured the one that's happening is likely the one that is most dominant in the belief systems and you can say well I hate hearing that

I'm sorry still true so you can fight it but it's still true this person's saying you know how do you deal with what if you're you're you have pain or sickness you know and even though we know it's an illusion how do you deal with this it says that even though a person can be enlightened that pain how do we understand that that pain does not mean we're bad people it doesn't see Jesus is trying to tell you when you didn't get the car it was a great opportunity for you to work on what it brings up when you think

no I don't want to look at what it brings up I want the car I'm going to affirm harder car squared car squared car squared you know um in multiples I am going to get this car that's not the spirituality guys those people that have been promoting nothing but positive thinking a positive thinking is good if you have positive beliefs to back them but you can't correct that was like a but you can't just wait you can't fix your your negative beliefs only with positive thinking go into the beliefs

okay um okay uh like how do I do that ah okay Soul healing you got to go into the soul start looking the deepest versions of healing and that's not fun you know that's not fun it's it's but it's what we're here to do you can't be afraid of it you have to be courageous the soul level healing you know uh there's a term that people use a lot you know in the in the spiritual groups detoxing that doesn't even sound fun I'm gonna detox you know it's not like wonderful things are happening do you

ever see a person win a Super Bowl hi what are you gonna do now and they instead of saying you know I'm going to Disneyland I'm going to go do a detox like it's not a fun festive thing but how could how could it be bad it you can't detox anything that's not there it's already there you're only detoxing what's there fevers are kind of a bummer we used to give children aspirin to break their fever but the fever is only something they need to burn out of their system so we keep trying to no no fever no

fever and all that did is ruin to some degree their immunity right so it's it's learning to be courageous to face these things that's kind of a drag kind of a bummer you know you find out you've got this illness you find out you've got this financial you know issue none of those are fun but rather than trying to affirm them away Jesus is actually saying hey this is great now that you're into that why don't we do something with it and our attitude is well no I'm not in the mood to do

something with it because I'm really bummed that it's not going my way and that that's not how we heal that's not how we become better people try to imagine if ever you you know knew of somebody that that fell into some some cave you went out hiking you fell into some caverns and that you couldn't find them they're in this dark caverns and all that and you could call them and they could hear you but you don't know how to get them out of the caves but they happen to have a flashlight

what a bummer I can't believe I fell in this cave yeah but turn on the flashlight no I'm not wanting to turn on the flashlight because I'm too bummed that I fell in the cave the bottom line is now that you're in it turn on the light you see what I'm saying guys and on Earth what it is is turn on the light because there's other people that have fallen in there as well I'm saying to you that once you fall in which is us coming to Earth once you're here you might as well just cop to the

fact that you got some work to do oh but I wish I weren't here thank you for sharing you know now turn on the flashlight I'm not in the mood to turn on the flashlight you know my batteries are dead I've worked too hard if you're here you likely have something to do okay but only if my life's going perfectly well people asked Edgar Casey about tithing and you know they would say well listen Casey in the readings I want you to tell me how I can become wealthy and Casey would say well learn to give

and they come back to a reading and say I promise I will start giving as soon as you help me become wealthy and Casey says if it's not in your mind now it won't be there then and I know that's not true for every human being but it's too often true where we think if things are going my way I will turn on the flashlight for others it's you know this is what we have to do we have a job to do and it's not what we think it is like actual uh vocation we have a job to do and and it's beyond

words to some degree but our job is actually related to the Salvation of all beings no I'm not saying salvation like a fundamental Christian or something uh I'm saying our job is to learn for ourselves how to see the real light of God in every person and then to teach others how to do the same not teach them by standing here telling them how by actually demonstrating it that's our job that's our primary function on Earth is to learn to see properly to switch from seeing the eyes of Duality here to the one eye of God

how mainly by learning to be humble and ask God how would you have me see this person you know how would you have me see this person and we think you know if only I were this if only I God would give me my soul mate then I would probably consider doing more of what I'm supposed to be doing if God would only give me a lottery then I would it doesn't work that way because even if somehow you win the lottery you will not have done your work on your your fears when you didn't win it so when you do finally win it you will

not be as high a being you'll just be a spoiled person that got the lottery you won't have the depth that goes with it so while you're in the stuff go into this stuff while you're having doubts and fears go there I mean might as well oh no I'll wait when I get a little more healthy and stable when I feel a little more together emotionally no because then you're going to go well now I'm together let's see if we can access some of that hurt and anger it's not going to feel like it's there

you're you know you're happier I've said this many times one of the most consistent thing in all the places I've ever traveled and taught and all that one of the most consistent reasons you won't see people when they attend and attend and then they go is when they find a relationship because now it's just you know they don't need to because they're distracted you know it's it's startling but what's sad is that that means you chose that you demonstrated to the universe once I get

something spirituality really doesn't mean that much once I have my distractions so to me I would say well I would rather have my spirituality whatever that is yoga or coming here or whatever you do your spirituality you meet someone they need to be congruent with that but they're not and I don't want to lose their relationship over that see I would there's not there's nobody that's that important to me on this planet nobody I mean it's just never mattered to me a person and distracting

me from the path I'd rather say would you like to join me on the path no I'm not really interested okay cool we'll see you later I mean I'm good you know what I mean I'm good I'm like you know with or without a partner whether whatever I'm good just the spiritual path that doesn't mean I believe in being an aesthetic a person up in the caves you know away from Humanity it's not what I'm saying we still have to apply our spirituality with people I'm just saying I'm not interested in

any one thing becoming such a distraction and that would be anything whether it's wealth or people or whatever I know that my first priority is this kind of work and I'm not saying you have to be like me and and say well I can go with or without a relationship I'm not saying you have to be that extreme but do know what your priorities are it makes a difference because then when you run into that test you'll already be on to it and you'll know better what to do you don't want to be caught after the fact

you know you don't want to try to catch up after someone's distracted you because you're going to then feel guilty and shameful you know God I let this distract me just the same as 12 steps if you're in a 12-step group and then you meet somebody and you know there's no better place to meet somebody than in a 12-step group um according you know you're not supposed to but everybody loves hitting on each other and in groups you know um oh you're dysfunctional like me why don't we get together and be

dysfunctional together you're not supposed to and there's a reason there's all kinds of reasons for that but if it happened and you met somebody else even outside the group my point is this my step work is my spiritual path and you're telling me that you like to party well maybe if I just party once in a while I wouldn't do it all but they're so cute cutest person that's ever asked me out you think that's what's happening this is a test of the emergency broadcast system this is only a test

well I can't pass this up okay go ahead and date him because it's a test and do you know what happens when you fail tests not usually good things if you fail your driver's test you don't drive if you fail your test in a recovery program and you're supposed to be staying clean and somebody pulls you off the path because they're wanting to to party and they're just you know but but like gosh you know but they're fun and they make me feel so alive yeah that's called a drug cocaine will make you feel

kind of alive too see all you're doing is meeting another test in another drug big deal but they're so cute so yeah the course of Miracles talks about so many people get caught in up caught up in in staring and obsessing on the frame and they forget the picture that's supposed to be in there the frame how things are framed how they're looking outside big deal that's just the glitz it's a great test though it's a good test on how spiritually ADHD you are for starters you know oh look shiny stuff a new

person you know oh they said they liked me I mean people it's weird what can so easily pull people off so something to consider just a slight segue in older systems there's this concept of devotionalism especially in more traditional systems devotionalism Jesus had these trainees you know these Apostles and they practiced devotionalism Mary Magdalene practiced devotionalism there's a place for that however the world is changing the energies are changing and how we do things even spiritually but this old concept of I

need a guru I need a teacher the great ones will teach you how to become that within yourself you know it feels I don't know how much any of you have been in that position you might be the oldest sibling and the other siblings overly look up to you and it puts just kind of a weird pressure on you to always be the strong one or if it's as a parent you're going through a divorce the kids are all looking at you you don't want to let them see you choke up you don't want them to see how weak and sad you can be that's it's extra

pressure well it's it's kind of like that the guru the teacher kind of a thing it's it's a it's a it's an odd thing you know when I have people say hey would you Mentor me I think it's very flattering and thank you thank you that's great here's how I met you I just teach you show up or don't show up if you show up you're learning is that mentoring I don't know but you're not moving in you know um yes you know you're not moving and I've had people say I'm going to give

you money to open a retreat a commune kind of a thing in if I've been offered that 10 times I said yes once and it was only done when I knew it was clean and clear it's not my thing there's a time and place for everything and I do believe that that devotionalism has a place but only if you really understand it see if I as a teacher Any teacher you follow Yogananda Jesus you know Mother Teresa whomever it is if the person like I said this last week when Helen who wrote A Course in Miracles had this vision of looking up

she went into a church and knelt and looked up and she was starting to worship Jesus up on the wall you know statue kind of thing and Jesus got down off the wall and came and knelt next to her looking up with her symbolizing I'm with you you don't worship me all I am is your brother who elder brother who walked there first so that's all let me help you in the walk so if you want to have a teacher or a guru fine but try to choose one only one that understands that there's no difference between us

you go to a Healer and oh you know this person's so great they're healing and they're going to fix me and they're going to do this for me to some degree that's true but only in the illusion because in tomorrow's lifetime if we come die and come back you might be the one doing that for me what's the difference who cares why get too caught up on who plays what roles the bottom line is we're in this together so a good teacher Jesus says in the Course in Miracles deserves only your respect not your awe

do not be in awe of any person or anything other than God because God is awe-inspiring and I can respect you if you're my teacher or I'm your teacher you're never really supposed to be in awe of the human part of me the way this person looks the way they can manifest more quickly than some the way they talk in the way that's not we're awe-inspiring that's just kind of cool that's all be in all of only God but Jesus says but do respect teachers do respect the teacher before you has walked and probably dedicated a lot of

their time to get where they got do respect somebody we even I call a Mastery you know a spiritual Mastery because I teach spirituality or it doesn't matter what it is it could be a master seamstress and if you're being into being a seamstress it's cool for you to sit there and go I'm so in awe of all the tricks of the trade that you know but not all I so respect what you do you see you find yourself maybe feeling it all but just get it catch it and go it's just very cool it's amazing I

really admire your parenting skills where did you get that is that something that just happened inside of you or is that how your mother age you know it's cool to respect people I think in anything I can respect people the way they put themselves together in clothing I can respect people the way they have a a a a an ability to access joy and celebration even during difficult times so you have to respect all kinds of things and I think we should and respect teachers if you're into yoga and you know your teacher has dedicated

20 years of their life to to really being great at yoga they deserve your respect it's easy for you to find fault with them that's not very cool they deserve your respect but not your worship and not your awe if I were going to consider let's say pretend hypothetically worshiping a human being that's again hypothetical they would have to prove to me that they are Beyond dying I know that's a bit of a high standard but my point is if they're still capable of dying they're still in this with us

and there are people one teacher I won't name the name but one very popular teacher particularly in the 70s that passed away and you know when he was passing away he was he and he was a very big name from 40s 50s and all that but when he passed away what people remember him saying and feeling was these people never got it he was frustrated that nobody got it you know he was dying sort of in mental pain that he thought I I did this all my life and I don't think they got it it's kind of not the way you want to go

you know instead you want to die like the guy who helped co-edit A Course in Miracles bill when he passed away his last words were all my relationships are holy you know it means I've got no stuff remaining with anybody you know that's very cool and and I could name these two people this guy that helped with the course of Miracles and this other teacher I left nameless you will all know this name and only a few of you will know this name but this one didn't die well now that's just a perspective maybe he got it

seconds later I'm just using it as a metaphor but that's not the mindset I want to be in and it's very tempting to be in that mindset geez I mean we work and we work and we write and we you know teach and we do all these things and sometimes it does seem like you know people aren't getting it then change the way you do it change the way you do it improve the way you do it um but to me all the teachers have to find that place of humility that we're in this together now here's one reason why a lot of teachers don't

do that well if I say that I'm equal to them then I'm out of a job why would they come and see me if I say well we're all kind of messed up thank you for being here leave your donations at the door you know like oh okay we're going to donate to him because he's just as messed up as we are I understand but I'm telling you that's the way they had the human head works but that's not what happens it allows the vulnerability allows the realness to say I've struggled with this and that however what I think helps

people is to say when you fall in the cave turn on the light here's how I did that you see what I'm saying showing that you live it so this concept of what kind of teacher do we want to be and what kind of teachers do we want to listen to in the bahagavad-gita Krishna is talking to Arjuna it's really beautiful this whole process of the two of them talking and going through life and death and heck together you know just going through hell together and there's a point where Arjuna just says you know Krishna what is the

greatest way what's the most spiritual path what's the right path and Krishna says well there's nothing Superior than simply meditating yourself into Oneness with God meditate you know devote yourself to God devote your my body and soul to where the let's just for now bear with me the body sort of disappears because I'm So Into the Oneness with God see and Krishna is saying what what could be better than that you're like you're disappearing you're ascending you're actually ascending and you're

going into higher Consciousness and you're you know blissing out your samadhi and all these other great terms where you're in this absolute Oneness um not even aware of the need to eat sleep the heart rate starts to fade and quiet down because you're barely on Earth at all he says what could beat that and he's right but then he says now wait a second come to think of it and he's saying that's bhakti yoga he's saying come to think of it there's Karma Yoga Karma Yoga is when you do good deeds

so you're here where I'm going with that there's nothing like this oh no wait a second I guess if you start blissing out and you forget to do good deeds what point what's the point So my answer is called balance if you listen to God and forget to do the next right thing I think you've made a mistake I think some people are meant to Bliss out into God that because they're just holding some presence that's that's the path they're on and some people are just into doing good deeds but not really any

spiritual connection I'm just saying I find it to be necessary to do both there are different Paths of yoga but one of them is connect the other is action but why would you want to take any action without the connection which is what the word yoga means so connect and then take the next right action that's balance so what starts to happen is when we feel that connection it's the words are like Sublime when we really start to feel connected to Spirit we start to feel so Sublime that often we become I've said it many

times Bliss bunnies you know like just kind of floating around hey how you doing no I'm just being you know like wow anything else and it's kind of a drag you know Mom I have a dirty diaper you know but I'm just being like I'm not going to change your diaper today honey try being and you wouldn't have a diaper you know that's not that's not being properly effective on the planet how can I stay connected and take righteous action and if I'm connected it's one it's one thing

to be connected it's another to take action but to do actions from the connection that's the to me that's the ultimate and so we're going to have these moments where we're entering that Sublime State and it does it does tempt us most people that have a near-death experience and they're not even in the sublime of God yet they're just starting to see a little more light than they did while they were on Earth and some loved ones that have passed away but most everybody that passes to the other side and then is

going to come back to the Earth plane would rather not come back I mean it's amazing this tells you that love is addictive in a good way it's it's very difficult to connect with God and then want to come back to the Primitive stuff of Earth it's very difficult you start kind of blissing to higher dimensionality it's very easy let all the heart rate and everything just kind of thing just and you start just floating and you're seeing and you're experiencing these wonderful things it's

very tempting and most people that pass over don't want to come back and it's a rude awakening when they say well you know isn't this great and not bite you know and they send you back into your post-surgery body and you're like screaming and pain you know a moment ago you're doing pretty well um that's that's that's very similar to this idea devote to God and when you devote to a teacher don't devote to the person devote to God in the teacher and if you can't find anyone to devote

to here's a great one the real practice of Tantra like in tantric Buddhism the real practice of Tantra is fantastic and here's why and there's different roads within Tantra there's a left-hand path a right-hand path I like the middle path so but in Tantra there's there's this One path of Tantra like the one the Dalai Lama well I'm going to say some some tantric practitioners they do the no contact it's kind of a spiritual Buddhist you know Tibetan Buddhist or Hindu Buddhist or or Hindu practitioner that's doing

Tantra and it's no touch no contact there's another the opposite extreme in Tantra is only contact it's all about love making and contact but true Tantra is saying this that in true Tantra you actually never go to an altar you never go to a thing you never look at an object per se what you do is you look in the eyes of another person and look there until you find God it's not about the physicality that some people think Tantra is now they call Tantra some of the ancient peoples called Tantra the short path to

Enlightenment because they're saying not get into Tantra it's the short path if you just practice uh you know spirituality and sexuality you're gonna and be enlightened quicker it's not what they're saying at all what they're saying is if you can remain focused on God while making love you're pretty cool because most people can't do it Jesus says in the diary notes of A Course in Miracles when he segues off into the concept of sex he said yeah sex is a very challenging one because as soon as people start getting

stimulated they start wanting to go somewhere oh that's kind of nice I want more of that oh that's even nicer I want more of that and whoa this is here we go and we're heading for a goal which means you're not here right now you're already anticipating that future thing you see so that's why the short path to Enlightenment meant that if you're capable of stimulated note here stimulated no I'm here and stay standard if you can go through the sensual experience and remain totally present and not looking

for things to do but someone to be with because as he says in A Course in Miracles there's no place more sacred on Earth than in a holy relationship which is where when and where we have dropped the masks where we have let go and just drop the illusion of what we look like that's the sharing love not making love because the word making is means you're contriving it you're actually truly sharing love how could you not know exactly what that person needs how could you not know exactly what that person's feeling what

agendas could you possibly have when there's nothing greater than being with that person so part of what I'm describing today is is keeping the balance the sublime with God but then the proper actions you have a headache it feels kind of a drag because you're spiritual and and you don't know why you have a headache but take an aspirin for God's sakes you know take an aspirin but do your spiritual work this is exactly what we're told devote to God but take care of stuff devote to God but still try putting fuel

in the gas tank instead of multiplying particles well get fuel with your mind you know just pump some gas in the thing too take care of things learn to have a little bit of lightness about it still do but with God if you can still manifest or manage to stay connected with God while making love you're further on than anybody if you can stay connected to God while you go to work you're further on than anybody it's not being all Sublime I wish I didn't have to work ever I I'm really spiritual but it's humans

that mess me up you know how do I balance this how do I do this you know how how can I take this work and bring it to the here and now and it helps us when we remind each other you know not failing each other but reminding each other it's not easy to to maintain that Center and that balance while being in the world but if you do you'll start to notice these moments of sublime Bliss ecstasy it does happen typically these things don't happen by chance it's not like you suddenly boom go into some state of samadi or Bliss or

Oneness out of the blue typically it's something you prepare for but it can seem spontaneous like Kundalini Rising it can seem spontaneous at times it can be that unconsciously you were ready consciously you may think I've never even meditated the first time I meditated boom it I my mind totally opened up I became one with bliss my friends around me in the meditation room were all angry at me because they've been going to meditation classes for six years and haven't even seen purple light yet you know

that's not who's better it's there's all these pieces but not beneath the surface that we don't know so you might have just been ready without realizing it the gifts you have Edgar Casey was very gifted but it wasn't random Helen who channeled A Course in Miracles amazing material maybe the highest on the planet but it wasn't it didn't just happen she was prepared in other lifetimes for that Jesus to adore to that in his conversations with her Edgar Casey was prepared in other lifetimes to be what

he was so whatever is your gift these are things that have you know like Aquarian gospel says there's no such thing as prodigies whatever is your gift these are things you've nurtured over time and you deserve respect for those things not all but respect so sometimes you have past life connections that you've made you know past life work that you've done also you know sometimes you're doing your spiritual work like the workbook Lessons In A Course in Miracles are preparing you to some degree for something right

um but when he says in the book you might start seeing colors more he's talking about clairvoyance he's saying once you practice this enough start opening your third eye he says but that's not our goal Kundalini Rising is not our goal seeing purple and sparkles is not our goal seeing unicorns and fairies is not our goal well what is the goal what could beat that love oh that okay well you know we act like that's oh that you know bummer because we don't know what true love feels like yet we're still equating it with

romanticism love means all of a sudden I'm incapable of seeing anything in all of you but love and it's the most amazing Sublime thing all of a sudden I didn't fall in love with a person I Rose in love with everyone and if someone says well I want to be in love with God I want to join with God but not people that's not possible it's with people that we lived out our separation from God with so it's through people we have to actually heal the separation so you can't say I love God but people

are the problem it doesn't work you have to say wow I was pretending to love God I thought I love God just own it I thought so but I see it I thought I had that but I can see it because I was Rising more and more in my philosophical concept of Love With God but if I was leaving people behind it was a hypocrisy dang it now I gotta come back to the Earth plane and okay love love love love with all you people you know it's kind of going to be missing out a moment ago you know you know my mommy was with God a moment

ago but apparently God thought you guys might be important so I had to come back to be with you all you know and is that a bummer no because when we're here our work is before us if you don't get it here and now you don't have it anywhere Here and Now with everyone understand that devotionalism start right here and if you say well I don't know of any spiritual teacher Guru to devote well wait a minute start with anybody that feels trustworthy at all humans are not going to demonstrate Perfection to us because even if you and

I are very much in the same alignment with beliefs and so on you might tie your left shoe first and I might tie my right shoofers and that'll become an issue at some point because humans love to do that so I'm not talking about fault finding I'm talking about do your best so you know you know and if people are hurtful I'm not saying you need to pretend that you're seeing God in them but start somewhere because nobody has ever entered a state of Oneness with god without feeling safe so you must nurture a an aura of safety

in your life somewhere or you will not rise in God not through meditations with God nor through the loving intentions with others I must feel safe or I do not rise I need to feel a sense of you know surrender see that's what happens the Oneness with God comes from surrender but I don't know how to surrender if I'm not feeling safe think about that think about how perfectly that stated I want to surrender to God I want to surrender to Lava I want to surrender to Prosperity you cannot surrender anything

if you're not feeling safe okay then how do I feel safe obviously a do the healing on the things that have felt unsafe in your life and B start looking for the Times where you are safe giving thanks for them so that we fan them into a greater Flame instead of going well I kind of felt safe with you but it'll probably flicker out soon see that's that's shaming it away if you don't fan it into a flame it'll die and you'll still start again tomorrow on another one fan every moment where you know somebody's been good to

you every moment where you know you've been safe every moment where you know you have felt a certain camaraderie every one of those thank you thank you thank you be appreciative not in awe but appreciative whatever it happens to have been and that's why I was sharing last week and other times that's why I believe that you know when I do this work the spiritual work I I don't think I can ever really take it for granted well I'm in this role you know I don't think I can take it for granted I don't think I

can go uh I think I'll just give kind of a lightweight talk I'm not you know the mood to give a decent talk today we'll just kind of rehash something or or whatever it doesn't seem like it it's like I believe in always doing my best to connect with spirit and let's do this together guys and I don't feel like I'm lecturing at people I feel like I'm sharing an experience with people so we're having a holy relationship in that in that first of all because I'm seeing

us as the same in a good way I'm seeing us as the same I'm seeing that we all have pain in to some degree here and there we've lived in the human life so I know that we struggle in our ways but let's rise together out of the pain and I know that we all have come from God and are returning to God in our remembrance process and it feels great it feels ecstatic to do so the human beings don't sometimes know how if I do feel ecstatic what do I do with that just let it happen try to ground it don't Bliss out to

where you are not functional anymore be careful you know don't let the Kundalini just blow your top of your head off and you know and Bliss out and you can't function anymore you know but think about if I'm if I'm finding God when you start seeing spurts of creativity that's that's called ecstasy guys that's spiritual ecstasy something has brought it about no I'm just feeling kind of spiritually creative that's that's beautiful you know what happened someone had to have earned that

do you understand what I'm saying there guys you had to have earned that oh my God that's kind of cool give yourself a little credit I didn't just have creative spurts for that to happen which is God through me I'm had to have gotten in the right State of Mind for it thank you thank you thank you it can manifest as almost like an energetic orgasm great if that's your manifestation give thanks for that ecstatic dance great give thanks for that whatever it is and it might look like one thing it

could be parenting whatever it is where you start to just feel alive like there's this it you know it's like knowing the good news of the Lord you know that old saying it's like I feel just so present I feel so alive okay when God is coming through us how could it be a downer so watch for anywhere in your life and if you say I've had none of that or very little of that let me say I'm really sorry because it means something has worn you down and I totally understand we all get worn down very sorry about

that and we all will breathe with you hold you and say it's all right whatever wore you down is not happening right now so right now we start bidding farewell to the stuff that wore you down to where you cannot feel that ecstasy that aliveness the world is waiting for us and it's not waiting for us to start you know dragging ourselves into the day and say uh you know and just be down you can have down days and in those moments nurture yourself and demonstrate to people how that's important you know to just to stay in bed and to

nurture I mean it's a beautiful demonstration but if I'm one with God Krishna says yes be one with God fill that connection but the manifestation and if the manifestation is curling up in the blankets and having some you know hot tea and watching your favorite cartoons from when you're a kid I think it's fantastic I would rather you see you do that than forcing yourself to go to work at a job you don't even love because you have to see that's that's not living the connection so think about that in your own lives if

I'm if I am living in absolute ecstasy first of all how can I feel that more I said it's not happening by accident and if you see it happening give thanks for it so you fan it into greater moments of that but if you're doing what you know is right for you your soul will fill that ecstasy the ultimate spiritual blast of Oneness with God doesn't come from our efforts of just becoming better people that helps but the bottom line is God itself will reach down into your soul you know not the hands of a human that that help you

feel a physical uh comfort in a hug or orgasm and in sensual experiences it's different God will reach its hand down into your soul and Quicken it into ecstasy but when it happens make sure you Channel it into something functional and practical paint smile laugh make sense how can I be you know present today that it's and it's something that just happens and it's so beautiful last week I talked about that to a degree about how all of a sudden you feel Supernatural you know it's like wow I had this um and and ending here today

now this person that had asked this question you know they said well how do you do this deal with this you know while still you know um struggling with stuff like that well I went and saw one of our great people come through town brother Gregorio is a great healer and he's he's I think he's in uh um Scottsdale now starting maybe today or tomorrow for the next few days if you know anybody there um look him up but he does some really wonderful him well I went and saw him you know I see him every so often

because I just think he's such a great soul and he did some work up here on me and so the next day I started feeling like this detox kind of thing happening and so that's why I maybe sound a little congested and all that but it's just amazing because you know before I came out here like I'm I'm barely moving everything's spinning you know and I'm I'm sweating and all this really fun amazing stuff is happening um so you know there's all this like you know kind of thing but I haven't felt that

since I've been talking you know what I'm saying so that's what it is to get in the light of God and I don't have to say well then I just need to keep talking no when I leave here I'm going to look forward to getting home when I do I'm going to lay down or something now it's there it does happen that after I do this I get charged again and all this disappears and then I don't lay down but I'm saying that you don't have to keep doing to prove anything sometimes it's all right but do look at

the miracle I swear I mean do look at the miracle because I'm telling you when I'm coming out here everything's spinning and my legs are kind of weak and you know and I I like I don't get sick ever I've had this only one other time and it was just this you know touring a lot and on and on and on and ended up with a pretty severe pneumonia and and I just went okay here's what I'm going to do I'm not going to cancel I've never missed a gig and I've never missed a talk and I've never missed sessions

but what I did do is I took my sessions and I backed them up for two days because I was on tour and I had you know several ten a day and I'm like I don't know man so I actually for the first and only time in my life I backed them up a couple days the doctor had said because his friend who I was staying with on tour said dude you need to go and you need to see somebody so we went and you know you got to respect the illusion so I went my first visit type of thing to that kind of person and they said yeah

yeah you know you have a severe pneumonia you need to stay in a quiet place know anything for a couple weeks and I'm like okay back the sessions up two days that was all I needed and I was done because I can heal it quickly when I can get the time to sit with it and do it but watch because over parenting overdoing over whatever starts to thin our energy out watch how how do I can stay connected and then practice it and I I loved the moments of crawling into this guy's bathroom into the bathtub into this hot water and just

soaking I it this may sound like maybe too much information for some but my point is I felt just as wonderful even though not feeling well I felt just as Sublime just floating in this warm water as I did when I'm teaching because I'm still trying to do as best I can with God so it's all right give birth it doesn't feel great to pass a child through through the body but do it with God and at least it gives you something different focus on the love focus on you know whatever focus on the god experience

Partnerships and whatever you do even the farewells and goodbyes there's a way to do it with God in a way not make sense yes do everything with God I've said that many times do your best to do everything with God and the the children from medjugoria who used to see you know or they consistently see mother Mary some of you know about that and others not but one of them had this severe blast in a kitchen where much of their body was burned and she was singing all the time and somebody says aren't you in

pain she said absolutely I mean she was burned a lot then how can you sing she says anyone can sing when they're not struggling but when you can feel God and even though you're in pain and still sing she said that's miraculous and I agree so it's great if things are going your way and it's great when things are going your way bless you guys you've done good work to make that happen when they're not you still have homework that's where the big tests are if you want things to go

your way and stay your way and do really well and Bliss out and have great things in your life you have to pass your tests when they're not going very well that makes sense so I bring myself up here and I say hey this is my way I'm not saying you should do it this is mine I'm like here I am and so we just do it and I don't feel like uh you know I shirked any ability to say anything decent today okay all right I pray this has made good sense all right so thank you you're gonna have a closing meditation

our closing song when we're done for the day just take a few centering breaths foreign let's meditate this imagine all the people in this room be aware of everyone and then everyone on the planet every continent Every Nation every age gender race all beings throughout the Universe and we're all looking like we're working

to find our way home third dimensional beings fifth dimensional beings all these various beings light beings aliens humans angels all kinds of beings Elementals and it looks like we're seeing them all through the universe but let's shift it and imagine instead they're all within our mind all beings throughout all time are between my ears so take the universe and shrink it to be the size of your skull and realize we are all in this together the world and people will remain struggling growing incarnating

hurting and sometimes blissing out but they're all just variations within this illusion in my mind let's close with just thought of prayer and affirmation that instead of all these variations from this being to that being how about we wish pray affirm a perfect sense of love for every one of those beings to where they all become the same Perfect Light so let's take a moment to visualize every being is in my mind and every being is turning to light don't try to figure out whether they deserve it or not whether you can fix

them or not just absolutely spontaneously every person spontaneously unconditionally every one of them sparking into light and then as each one of them Sparks into light their light grows and pretty soon the light passes into everyone else's light become superimposed and then all of the beings and although The Light Within all of the beings melds into one that is a holy that's a healed mind a forgiving mind and if anyone in my mind were to hurt anyone else it would only because I assigned him the role and that's not what I choose to do

everyone equally in the light and lastly just focus on the Gratitude we feel for them and they feel for us the only feeling that arises when we do this work is gratitude everybody is so grateful to be led off the hook from playing the different roles we play for each other finally we all get to rest we all get to be in the light that God created us to be breathe that into your heart and soul foreign

so it is good
