PERSONAL & PLANETARY HEALING
The Dimensional Shift - a guide to raising consciousness

MORPHOGENIC RESONANCE AND DUALITY
You must realise that with the
changes that you have started, we enlarge and assist your
vibration to reach
But this can only happen in totality,
in concert, as one by one your resonance together raises Earth
vibration. Then we will lift you all into this next dimension, as
your grand plan has always been. You have the knowledge of this
expansion in your heart, and the unlocking of this knowledge is
within your reach.
You must join, you will join with the many who remember their
purpose. And with this we shall raise the vibration of those who
still do not wish to understand and participate. The dates and
times are a part of the key which unlocks the knowledge that you
have.
The joining together and the knowledge which you gain create a
new dimension - a new oneness which will live in itself as a
combination, as a multiple - and you will see the stars, you will
understand the stars. It will be as you lift your eyes to the
heavens, and see and understand what has been written there since
time. This is a grand awakening for you, and there is nothing
that cannot be accomplished. A new place of standing, a new
vision.
These words were channelled from spirit early
in 1992. As custodian of a Light Centre whose purpose is to
assist in bringing about such change, I have a responsibility to
share my understanding of what is involved and how others may
prepare themselves should they choose. The important point of the
above message is that we need each other - enlightenment is a
very difficult state to achieve on ones own. It is not
something that happens by magic, nor is it something that all
will experience in the same way. Many will choose not to
participate at all, and very likely they will leave this planet
and continue their cycles of reincarnation elsewhere, or continue
on this planet in a separate probable reality. For others, the
change will happen instantaneously, and they will wake up one
morning and say - How on earth did that happen?
For a small but significant number of people, it will be no
surprise. These are the ones that are actually bringing about the
change, the ones who have consciously taken on this assignment. The shift is already under way, and is happening in
pockets and waves. It is happening in places that are known as
Light Centres, where reality has already shifted to some degree.
People associated with Light Centres are already experiencing
expanded awareness, heightening of their psychic and spiritual
abilities, and are working with the Light in some sort of healing
capacity. To reach this point, they have generally experienced a
good deal of discomfort and disturbance as they processed their
inner levels and discarded their old belief patterns. A Light
Centre does not have to be a physical place - it can also be and
must include two or more people who gather in My
Name - a couple, a family, or a group - but it must
have a committed spiritual focus. From these pockets of
intensified Light vibration, the energy is drawn in, experienced,
acted upon, and then expanded outward to touch those of similar
vibration. The thought patterns of many people are thus able to
be influenced by this process of morphogenic resonance without
their conscious knowing. The minds of those who are attuned will
grasp the concepts intuitively. Alice Bailey describes how this
happens in A Treatise on White Magic - The
two or three sense the plan intuitively; then the rhythm they set
up with their thought sweeps the mental plane matter into
activity; thinkers seize hold of the idea. This is a hard thing
to learn and difficult to do, but the reward is great. To those
who wrestle, strive, and hold on, the joy is doubled when the
materialisation comes. The joy of contrast will be yours, for
knowing the past of darkness you will revel in the light of
fruition ...
The rotation of our galaxy gives rise to Great
Astrological Ages, which are further subdivided into twelve
periods of approximately 2,000 years, each of which corresponds
with a sign of the zodiac. The transition period between the end
of one mini-age and the beginning of another is generally
associated with great upheaval as mankind adjusts to the new
dominant influences. Not only are we witnessing in this present
time the transition out of the Piscean Age into the Aquarian Age,
but we are also experiencing the end of one Great Astrological
Age and the beginning of a new one. It was such at such times in
the past that ancient continents disappeared, leaving no trace of
the civilisations that inhabited them, and new ones took their
place. At this time, we are being given the opportunity to
participate in something even more profound. We have reached the
point in our evolutionary development where we have accumulated
sufficient knowledge and awareness of past (so called) errors,
that we are able to work co-operatively with other levels of
reality to bring about a vibrational shift that will not only
affect the entire planet, but will reverberate throughout all
levels of creation. Having reached the outermost level of
creation and explored it in all its extremes, we are assigned the
task of rebirthing the Earth and setting it on its course out of
evolution into involution - re-connecting it with the Source. In
so doing we will discard our belief in separation and begin to
experience oneness, awareness of our unified
relationship with all things. Our consciousness will alter, and
our physical reality we become less dense due to increased
vibrational frequency of the light particles or photons that
exist within our cellular structure. The process occurs because
we are entering a field of high vibrational Light Energy (Christ
Light) with which we are able to resonate and be raised in our
individual frequencies. We can experience this only if our
individual frequencies are compatible with the incoming
frequencies, otherwise we will not be aware of the incoming
influences. Thus the responsibility lies with the individual for
their own personal enlightenment, and responsibility for
planetary enlightenment is collective. Each person who is able to
lift his or her own light frequency will affect others of similar
vibration by morphogenic resonance, and the process expands
exponentially. Those who are waiting for it to happen outside of
themselves will very likely be the last to experience it.
Raising of consciousness cannot occur while beliefs and practices
are anchored in dense frequencies that emanate out of fear,
guilt, judgement, lack of self worth, and so on. Those people who
have chosen to participate and assist in the dimensional shift
are aware of that, and are experiencing considerable pain and
discomfort as the old familiar boundaries disappear. Many of us
are moving out of old relationships and into new ones, our
traditional means of employment are being taken away, and we are
being challenged and tested in every imaginable way. In the
process of releasing old patterns and belief systems, we are
learning to come to terms with our egos by embracing the lower
aspects of self and aligning with Higher Self. We are learning to
accept responsibility for all that we are and all that we
experience, and recognise that we are consciously creative beings
of a divine nature, that we are aspects of All-That-Is. The idea
or the seed for this transmutation of self was planted 2,000
years ago by the man Jesus who became the embodiment of the
Christ Spirit by embracing the totality of himself and loving
himself unconditionally.
Planetary service begins with service to self. In our quest for redemption there are many paths, and we set for ourselves the parameters within lifes experiences that best afford us the opportunities to assist our cause. Whatever ones chosen path, it is helpful to have some understanding of the nature of creation and the part we have within it. The process by which materialisation occurs can be understood in terms of a number of basic universal principles or laws which govern our physical reality. Given here is a simple conceptual understanding of how the universe we perceive is structured within the framework of creation, and how that understanding can assist us in expanding our consciousness. In achieving this level of understanding, we can mentally process and integrate our emotional and physical experiences at a deeper level, and in consequence transmute unnecessary pain and suffering, for pain arises out of stress brought about by imbalance and resistance. We will look at the nature and purpose of duality, how as individuals and groups we unconsciously create our personal and collective realities within that duality framework, and how, through exercising free will, commitment, discernment and integrity, we can break free of old patterns and learn to be consciously creative. More than anything else, it is a matter of changing the way we perceive.
Everything that exists in the material world of
duality is defined by its polarities. This is fundamental to the
creation process, in which the potential in One manifests as Two
by reflecting its polar opposites. One is the state of potential,
and Two is the unifiedly polar manifestation of One. Polar
opposition sets the parameters for vibration or flow to occur,
and each manifestation is able to recognise itself by its polar
opposite. All concepts would be meaningless without their polar
opposites to set a standard of comparison. "Good" would
be incomprehensible without "evil"; justice would be
meaningless without knowledge of injustice; the stars would not
be visible without the dark background of the night sky; but
darkness is illusion, for only the light is real.
In considering the principle of polar opposition in relation to
self, one might consider the relationship between Higher Self and
lower self. The Higher Self is the fully conscious creative part
of ourselves that has manifested in physical body from its higher
plane of reality. It is that part of us which links us to Source
because it is a reflection of Source. For Self to know itself in
this dense level, Higher Self manifests its polar opposites - the
soul or spirit body and the dense physical body. We link to
Higher Self through our higher chakras, and to what we know as
lower self through our lower chakras. The lower self expresses
feelings such as fear, anger and guilt, which are polarities of
love, which we experience from the heart. Masculine and feminine
are polarities that exist within self, often in imbalance, which
currently reflects collectively in imbalanced patriarchal
societies. The qualities of masculine - Light and Intellect, are
of admirable value in themselves, but can be disastrous unless
they are in harmonious blend with those of the feminine - Love
and Intuition. Our personal dimensional shift involves bringing
our polarities into alignment by embracing all aspects of self.
The physical body, through the emotional sensors and the brain,
receives input from both Higher Self and lower self. When we act
or think or experience emotion that we identify as negative, the
input and resulting motivation are derived from the lower self.
In transmuting dense aspects of reality, it is of paramount
importance to recognise that both Higher and lower selves are
equally valid aspects of who we are. The link we have with the
Higher Self is through the heart, so that in order to align
ourselves with that aspect of self, we need to learn to trust the
feelings that we experience in our heart. Do what makes
your heart sing. The lower emotions, such as those we feel
in the solar plexus, serve to indicate to us when we are out of
alignment, and as such it is important that we do not suppress
them, but acknowledge them for what they are and utilise them as
a form of guidance. Most of us at some time have suppressed our
lower emotions because they have caused us so much pain. In doing
so, we cancel out their polarity, and sacrifice the ability to
feel anything, including love. It is also well known that the
seven endocrine systems within the body are governed by the seven
chakras, and when emotions are suppressed, they are literally
dumped on one or more of the major organs associated
with their particular endocrine system, thus resulting in dis-ease.
ALIGNMENT OF POLARITIES
I have spoken about the dimensional shift being
a vibrational change that we can choose to participate in or not,
depending on our willingness to do the preparatory work. Part of
the preparation is in gaining understanding of the process by
which it occurs. By relating to it at a personal level, we can
see how important each of us is in bringing it about, and that
encourages us to do our personal clearing in full confidence and
without fear based on ignorance of what we are experiencing. I
also spoke about the way in which new ideas and beliefs are
transmitted vibrationally, which should enable us to realise that
we do not have to struggle too hard to get there, as there are
many people, both carnate and discarnate, supporting us.
It is the nature of duality, inherent in the creation process,
which causes all our problems. It is because we believe in
opposites that we experience opposites - we create our reality
from our beliefs. Duality is a principle, not a state. So within
that principle lies the potential for opposites to occur
conceptually. Our great human responsibility is to acknowledge
that we have created our present reality of good and evil by our
belief in them. Transmutation involves aligning the polarities of
good and evil by re-stating our understanding and belief in them.
Everything that exists is vibration, including our thoughts,
which create. The challenge that is before us is to dispose of
our old fear based beliefs and create the space for a love based
reality.
In our capacity to create, we create an image of ourselves, a
perception of who we believe ourselves to be, and we become the
personification of our ego. Our ego, whether balanced or
imbalanced, becomes our reality. When in the imbalanced state, it
is not who we are in our totality, but simply an expression of
ourself in a limited form. As such, the ego becomes our master.
When the ego does not recognise its relationship with our spirit
self, it is subject to the influences of thought forms that
similarly fail to identify with spirit. These thought forms arise
out of the collective consciousness functioning within duality,
and can take on the expression of being entities that exist
outside of ourselves. They have an investment in maintaining a
belief in separation, because without that they would not exist.
The ego, aligned with separatist thought forms, hides from us the
truth of ourselves.
We retain soul memories from our past lives, and cellular
memories of our present life experiences, and out of it all we
project into our present all the guilts and failures that have
profoundly affected us emotionally for maybe aeons of time. Part
of our learning and our growth is to understand our own nature,
and to do this we experience in the sum of our incarnations all
that can be experienced in matter, which necessitates
experiencing both sides of duality. In accumulating myriads of
experiences, we have felt much pain, and we have developed
beliefs that we have failed, we are not deserving, we cannot
experience love without pain, and so on. We protect ourselves in
countless ways - by sealing off our memories, or closing down our
hearts, or striving to gain approval from others. We tend to use
emotions associated with fear and judgement as weapons to prevent
us looking at things about ourselves which we find difficult to
accept - things that have caused us pain in our childhood,
pressures that are put on us by society, or patterns that we
established in past lives. We hide our insecurities by displaying
anger when someone criticises us, for we see ourselves as being
attacked, and we defend by counter-attack.
If we are to raise our vibrations and be a part of the Shift, we
need to clear the patterns that anchor us into the past. Darkness
cannot exist in the light, only shadows, but the shadows have no
substance. We can see the light, or we can focus on the shadow.
The polarities of love are only illusions - they are the dark
background of the night sky which enables us to see the stars.
When we create these polarities from our fears, we make them seem
real. However, their vibration is incompatible with the new light
vibrations, the new dimension which is love based, and so they
must be released or they will only anchor us into our old
illusionary reality. It is when they are recognised for what they
are, and for the purpose that they have served, that they may be
dispensed with.
There is a battle taking place within us. On the one hand we have
our Higher Self that connects to us at our heart and our other
top chakras, and on the other hand is our lower self that links
with our lower chakras and projects base emotions. If we see the
ego as the middle self, we can understand the battle either to
remain anchored in the state of separateness that we have come to
understand as our reality in matter, or to transcend that state
of separateness and link with our full consciousness wherein we
can experience our interconnectedness with all things.
Transcending duality is not a matter of moving out of it; it is a
matter of understanding it and learning to function within it as
we are designed to do.
Both Higher Self and lower self attract our attention by
providing us with experiences that support their validity. When
the experiences get sufficiently uncomfortable, and we find that
our usual methods of control are no longer working for us, we are
pushed to resort to other measures. It is our guidance from
within, prompting us to look for our answers within. In claiming
our attention, the two aspects of self are appealing to us to
acknowledge them and take responsibility for them. The way to do
this is to align them and bring them into balance. It is only
when imbalance exists between polar opposites that conflict
occurs and pain results. But it is NOT a battle between Higher
Self and lower self, for both are valid.
How many thousands of years has mankind being putting the things
he doesn't like outside of himself? We battle to control our
external environment and try to make it conform to our
requirements. We blame others for our problems. We claim
responsibility for our victories, but not our defeats. We fight
for peace, but we don't accept that we are responsible in part
for the war. For every thing that exists, in every thought we
have, contained within it is its polarity. When we fight for
justice, it is because we perceive injustice. In the perception
of one we automatically birth the other - one cannot exist
without the other. We create both justice and injustice in the
belief that they are both real, no matter which one we claim to
stand for. Even the concept of oneness implies separateness.
It is the nature of our very being that enables us to create
suffering for ourselves. It is that screaming, reactive part of
ourselves that is so resistive and where the fire burns most
strongly. It is the part of us that claims most heartily for our
attention, for it is the fire that burns within that yearns most
deeply to be quenched. So how can we transmute aeons of memories
and beliefs? Wherein lies true peace? What is the water we may
quench this fire with? The answer is to own the fire and own the
water. Embrace it all as part of All-That-Is; love it all
unconditionally, without judgement. Acceptance of that which is.
So simple, and yet so hard to do. And when we own it all without
attachment and without judgement, so can we offer it back to God
in the knowledge that we no longer need it. Then the space is
cleared for the Christ Consciousness, that in truth is already
within us, to arise in our awareness. The shift will almost
certainly be completed within the next fourteen or fifteen years,
and if we are to be a part of it there is no escape from the
responsibility of clearing our baggage.
As we clear our hooks into the past and become less judgemental,
we free ourselves to see the purpose in everything that has ever
happened in our lives, and the forces of duality wield less and
less power over us. We may not see it happening in the world
outside, but we definitely notice our own reality changing by
virtue of the synchronistic way events happen in response to our
changing vibration. We find more and more that we are drawn to
people of similar vibration. We meet a person for the first time
and say
I feel I know you; maybe we knew each other
in a past life. At each layer or level of creation, we are
linked by the creation process to the level above - we are
manifestations of the Self which exists in a reality of higher
frequency. As we raise our vibrations, we become more aware of
that link. People that come from the same soul group are the
first to come together, because they are beginning to remember
who they are and where they came from. We start to become aware
of our connectedness in this way, and begin to experience
oneness.
THE HOLY RELATIONSHIP
Christ comes to what is like Himself;
the same, not different. For He is always drawn unto Himself.
What is as like Him as a holy relationship? And what draws you
together draws Him to you. Here are His sweetness and His gentle
innocence protected from attack. And here can He return in
confidence, for faith in one another is always faith in Him. You
are indeed correct in looking on each other as His chosen home,
for here you will with Him and with His Father. This is your
Fathers Will for you, and yours with His. And who is drawn
to Christ is drawn to God as surely as both are drawn to every
holy relationship, the home prepared for them as earth is turned
to Heaven.
This holy relationship, lovely in its innocence, mighty in
strength, and blazing with a light far brighter than the sun that
lights the sky you see, is chosen by your Father as a means for
His Own Plan. Be thankful that it serves yours not at all.
Nothing entrusted to it can be misused, and nothing given it but
will be used. This holy relationship has the power to heal all
pain, regardless of its form. Neither of you alone can serve at
all. Only in your joint will does healing lie. For here your
healing is, and here you will accept Atonement. And in your
healing is the Sonship healed because your wills are
joined. - From A Course in Miracles.
As discussed previously, releasing our old
patterns and aligning our polarities are the basic preparations
all must undergo in order to experience our personal dimensional
shift. We can do this in full consciousness of what is happening,
with the minimum of discomfort, or we can allow the incoming
Light vibrations to provide the experiences that we need in order
to force our old patterns and imbalances to reveal themselves,
generally causing much painful disturbance. Either way, there is
help available if we choose to avail ourselves of it. We can go
within to seek inner guidance, or we can receive assistance from
the many people who are trained in various healing modalities
whose role it is to assist others go through their changes. I
know many people who believe they can do it on their own, or that
some guru or other or their favourite spiritual discipline can do
it for them, but with few exceptions it is highly unlikely it
will work that way. We need to take responsibility for ourselves,
but we also need the help of others when it is appropriate, for
we are bringing about this amazing change together in group
consciousness, not as individuals.
The greatest helpers and the most important teachers in our lives
at any one time, are those people who are in closest proximity to
us. Why is it that so many relationships and marriages are under
stress or breaking down? The whole purpose of relationships has
changed. In the past, a man and a woman came together to provide
what they lacked in themselves, and so they became an operational
unit but with neither complete in themselves. It was a method of
achieving balance of the masculine and feminine within the unit,
but it was based on the acceptance of imbalance in the
individual. This works in the old paradigm but not in the new. We
are now being asked to align our masculine/feminine polarities,
and function as a balanced unit with balanced components. The
reason for this is simple - that we may perceive the perfection
in the other as we find it in ourselves. By releasing ones fears,
one is truly able to love oneself, and hence another, with the
love that is Gods Love, which is unconditional. The old
fear based reality is no longer sustainable, and a love based
reality is becoming the only option available to us.
Relationships have always provided the opportunities to learn
about ourselves. When things got difficult, partners in marriage
could move on or they could stick it out, with the pressures of
social convention generally influencing people to opt for the
latter choice. Either way, the lessons would continue to be the
same. One of the values associated with marriage is that it tends
to bind people more into their relationships, and therefore it
becomes more in their interest to resolve any disharmonies.
Nowadays, because it is easier to abandon a marriage, there is
less effort made to use it for growth. However, many people are
finding that marriage breakdowns come with a heavy price -
emotional pain. Where the lessons were ignored within the
relationship, they become very difficult to ignore in the
aftermath of it, and men in particular are being forced to
reflect on what went wrong. And so new opportunities are provided
for new relationships to form and develop, either with the
lessons learned or unlearned. As always we have choices. This is
not to say that the best option is always to stay within the
relationship for better or for worse, for often the relationship
has run its course. Although there is nothing that love cannot
heal, one partner might be slower to learn than the other, and
time is running out.
Sometimes people come together to work through old karma, but
just because they have close connections in past lives with
another person does not necessarily mean they must continue with
that person in this time. The liaisons we form can move down
through the centuries, and he who we were once attracted to,
perhaps a prince of great wit and brilliance, may now be a pauper
and dull of wit. Out of what was once a relationship of admirable
status and regality, comes attachment in later times to what
existed only in the past. Such relationships can still hold us in
their power, for the commitments made long ago frequently lose
their shine and lead to harassment, and indeed serve no purpose
in the present. In such cases it is likely a vow was once made by
those involved to be together always, and so they are drawn
together over and over again, until they realise they have
nothing more to offer each other. Such a vow is like a connecting
thread between the two, and this psychic link can be misused by
one to wield power over the other, until that tie is cut.
Many of us misused the power that was once afforded us, or we
were punished unjustly even when we used it wisely. That is why
power between two people in their relationship is such a big
issue now. Such a person might have decided that he or she no
longer wants power, and so they choose a relationship where they
are subservient to their partner. There are countless karmic
issues and belief patterns that establish the basis of our choice
of partner; and so the relationship becomes the battleground, not
between the two partners but between the person and himself.
Therein lies the opportunity to align the polarities of Higher
Self and lower self. A Course in Miracles puts it another way.
According to A Course in Miracles, heaven is
neither a condition nor a place, but rather the awareness of
perfect oneness. Learning to see the face of Christ
in another, hidden behind the masks we all wear, and to love that
face both in others and in ourselves, is the experience of God.
Regardless of the practical problems and the karmic issues, all
relationships have this potential - it is simply a matter of
whether we choose to be in that relationship in love or in fear.
In the other, be they partner or casual encounter, is our
crucifier or our saviour, depending on what we choose to be to
them. Focussing on their guilt drives the nails of self-loathing
more deeply into us; focussing on their innocence sets us free.
Relationships bring to the surface our imbalances, our worn out
belief patterns and our deep rooted fears. By taking total
responsibility for them and all the issues that challenge us
instead of judging and accusing, we can learn to forgive and to
love unconditionally. As we demonstrate love towards others, we
learn also that we ourselves are lovable, and we learn to love
more deeply. When two people invite the Holy Spirit into their
relationship, this process is hastened immeasurably. The battle
then is fought between the egos desire to judge and the
Holy Spirits desire to accept people as they are. They are
asking Him to deliver them from the temptation to judge and find
fault. It is a way of asking God for help in seeing another
persons innocence so that we may see the innocence in
ourselves - to see, think and love with God's Love, and to
experience God's Peace.
When someone behaves toward us in an unacceptable way, it is very
easy to say that they are wrong. We believe that certain
standards of behaviour must be upheld, that if we dont
stick by our principles and standards of behaviour and point out
to others that they should do so too, then everything around us
will disintegrate and we will invite further attack. A Course in
Miracles tells us that it is not our job to police other people.
Accusing others is not going to correct their wrongful behaviour.
By responding compassionately and with forgiveness we introduce a
context which is more conducive for another person to change more
easily. When we forgive someone, we forgive their past. If we
dwell on a persons past, we bring the past into the present
and see that person as they were rather than who they are now. We
create a future which is like the past. Every moment in time
brings a new opportunity for us and those we connect with to
change. By letting go our perceptions of the past, we allow a new
relationship to be born.
By embracing our polarities, we come to know that there is no
good or bad but only what is. The polarity of love is fear, but
like all polarities, fear is only a perception that arises from
an imbalanced view of the world, and hence is an illusion.
Because only love is real, and anything else that does not appear
to be of love is only a perception that we have of it, then we
see that really there is nothing to forgive. Forgiveness,
therefore, is exercising discernment between what is real and
what is not real. If we choose to move beyond illusion and be in
an awakened state, then we have the power to awaken others. The
only power that is available to us to do this is love; but before
we can truly love another we must learn to love ourselves. When
we pray to God for forgiveness, because God does not judge us, we
are actually asking Him to show us how to learn to love
ourselves. Through this healing of self lies the key to the
healing of the planet, and the vehicle through which our task of
healing the planet can be expressed is the holy relationship.
"A Course in Miracles" states that the holy
relationship, which is a major step toward the perception of the
real world, must be learned. It is the old, unholy relationship
transformed and seen anew. When a relationship is offered to the
Holy Spirit to use for His purposes, the goal of the relationship
is abruptly shifted from what it was before. The inevitable
practical result of this is that the relationship seems to become
disturbed, disjunctive and even quite distressing. This is
because the relationship as it is is no longer aligned with its
new goal. The meaning attributed to the relationship in the past
no longer makes sense in its new context. The conflict between
the goal and the structure of the relationship becomes so
apparent that they cannot coexist. All the old patterns of the
past arise to the surface, for they no longer serve the new
purpose, and must be released. The goal cannot now be changed,
and so the relationship must change to fit the goal. Until this
is recognised, the relationship may seem to be severely strained,
and many relationships are abandoned at this point. Once the goal
of the Holy Spirit has been accepted, the relationship can never
go back to what it was before.
The reason for this abrupt shift in purpose is so that the ego
does not have time to reinterpret step by step what is happening
according to its liking. Only a radical shift in purpose can
induce a complete change in mind about what the relationship is
for. The setting of the goal is an act of faith. It is not a time
to abandon faith once the results of that faith are being
introduced. As the changes in the relationship develop and
awareness of what is being accomplished grows, it becomes
increasingly beneficent and joyous. Every time an opportunity
arises to blame your partner, every time the relationship seems
to have lost its way and appears hopeless, is an opportunity
given to forgive and have its new purpose further revealed. The
Holy Spirit is like having a third person present to help you
through these situations which seem to make no sense. His purpose
in your relationship is to have you call upon Him to solve your
problems, and His promise is that He will never fail to answer
your request.
"Prepare you now for the undoing of what never was ...
when you feel the holiness of your relationship is threatened by
anything, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your
willingness, in spite of fear, to let Him exchange this instant
for the holy one that you would rather have ..." An
invocation is suggested that invites the Holy Spirit to intervene
when a problem arises.
"I desire this holy instant for myself,
That I may share it with my brother, whom I love.
It is not possible that I can have it without him, or he without
me.
Yet it is wholly possible for us to share it now.
And so I choose this instant as the one to offer to the Holy
Spirit,
That His blessing may descend on us, and keep us both in peace.
A Course in Miracles is a large and complex document, and there
are different ways of working with it. I have found a most
effective method is to ask a question relating to a specific
problem, then open the Text Volume at random, and it has never
failed to give me an appropriate answer. All that is then
required is the courage to put into practice the advice given.
The Course emphasises that the answers to our problems, all of
which have the underlying purpose of directing us towards
salvation, do not lie in satisfying the needs of the body. What
has the body really given you that justifies your strange belief
that in it lies salvation? Do you not see that this is the belief
in death? If we are struggling financially, and think
- if only I did not have these financial problems I would be able
to serve the planet more effectively as a light worker, then we
are putting our faith in matters that serve the body. Even though
our material needs may be real, until we put our total trust in
God that all our needs are met, then we are denying ourselves the
abundance that is rightfully ours. The leap in faith is to follow
our heart, to do what gives us joy. The Universe responds
joyously to those who live in joy. Everything that exists is
love, including money, and like attracts like. The outer reality
might seem quite different, that money equates with greed, but
that is a fear based perception. The job at hand is to change
reality by changing our beliefs.
There are as many paths to enlightenment as there are people. The
principles I have discussed in this and the previous two articles
are just the basics, but it is in the comprehension of the basics
and the intent to put them into practice that lays the
foundations for all paths. Each person that succeeds opens the
way for others. By giving in this way to ourselves first, we are
truly in service to the Light, and together we move into the new
dimension of oneness.
