Today’s consideration: Unintended spiritual progress?

Apparently we have to be willing to progress spiritually. It’s something we choose or intend. And we could have made that choice for Truth so long ago that the ego has conveniently forgotten that choice.

We always have the freedom to stay and circle in many low levels of consciousness, like guilt, depression, anger and hatred, consciously or unconsciously.

However, with spiritual intent and commitment to spiritual discipline the self can translate enlightening perceptions into “aha moments,” or gaps in which we can spiritually progress. A Light comes on in a small gap as we interpret meanings. I’ve found it’s more than “an aha moment,” rather it’s a knowing and state of being. We shift from ego to Conscious Truth. We are willing to be aware of something greater and there is possibility of realizing more harmonious states of consciousness.

It’s also a matter of being brave enough to progress. Some of us don’t want to change. We’re used to and familiar with where we are. We know what to expect and may fear the unfamiliar.

We may also feel like we don’t deserve to be happier, freer or stronger. So we do not intend to progress. And the Great Principle gives us the freedom to choose.

But our intent to progress along with understandings of how the ego functions facilitates discernment and release of negativity. Spiritual Wisdom helps ease understandings when we allow it.

What else can we do? We can contact Universal life energy, opening ourselves to the inflow of the qualities of The Great All, lighting up and activating those very same qualities already within us.

There are two easy exercises in the wisdom of Science of Being: The Mental Contact and the Star exercise. They are Universal contacts with Source!

You that are reading this entry are apparently willing to spiritually progress by virtue of sincere willingness to comprehend it. And I thank you for that. We help each other.

Had any “aha moments?”

Listening as instrument for egolessness: Listening, Part 4

We’ve grown to the point of consciousness enough to know that so much of the time we are dominated by the ego – by the negative traits of the ego that causes us to suffer. Now we have this deep desire to grow and consciously create our happiness with good causes. Yet, we feel we still need help to understand why we continue to experience troubles and fall once again into negative emotions.

Why listen to wisdom teachings

Reading wisdom books, listening to the teachers, listening to a master has the purpose to remind us of what we already know. We’ve just forgotten. We are reminded to listen and be more conscious of our Higher Self and our own inner guidance. 

We have become so out of touch that we feel that we must seek spiritual ‘authorities’ to help us. The truth is we don’t need wisdom teachings to connect with our True Self because it is something we already are. No authority or clergy is needed in-between you and your Higher Self. Unfortunately, we are conditioned to believe that is true.  

The teachings, teachers, or clergy are not to be believed, blindly followed or even assumed as true. In fact beliefs can instead energize the ego to keep us enslaved and frozen in a fixed idea. Rather we are to work to experience Truth for ourselves; to know the Truth.

I am grateful for wisdom teachings and teachers because they can and do lead the way, yet we are the only one that can remember and reconnect with our Inner Self. And, the more we do so repeatedly the more we become conscious of I am. 

We may not understand the teachings the first time we’ve heard or read it. Yet, there may be a time in listening that it awakens us to our Higher Self and we do understand. I’ve had some of my wisdom books, Science of Being, for over 35 years and I always am inspired when I read passages from it again. That is why there is power in reading and listening!

We get caught up and lost in our human life. Truth is Law, ubiquitous and eternal. And, Truth in spiritual teachings will strike a chord, which may feel like a deep desire to return home. Or it may be like a bell going off in our head or heart, and it rings true to us. Listen. It is your Higher Self and soul. Ringing Truth to awaken us. This has happened to me and it may have to You also. 

Truth opens us to unconditional Love. And, as we do we are also able to release negative thoughts and emotions. And, we begin to create a positive reality with positive energy. 

Wisdom Tools

Wisdom teachings remind us to be conscious, mindful, respectful, grateful and loving.

Listening to our Higher Self and wisdom teachings, reflection, mindfulness, Silence and meditation. These are your, our, Wisdom Tools! Then we must Act harmoniously within Universal Laws. And, be lead by unconditional Love. We are letting the ego die. Creating a egoless life. A spiritually driven life. 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“The Great Law is never absent and never idle on this Earth or elsewhere. It is continually seeking new channels for Its expression, new mouths to carry Its Message to suffering Humankind. It speaks through the lips of Leaders of men, through scientific discoveries, through better laws, artistic achievement, the living word and the printed page.”

Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 406.
