Welcome
to your Newsletter - I do hope you have a Truly Wonderful Week.
As
the Great Transition inexorably continues anyone and everyone could be involved
at some level. Service is not only the
preserve of the few - everyone can and should participate if we are to ensure
the best possible outcome in the next few years.
A
great Spiritual Guide from the Inner Spheres is quoted as saying:
“If you succeed in enabling one soul in darkness to find
the light, one troubled, wearied individual to gain strength, if you comfort
one mourner, if you heal one sick person, if you prevent exploitation of and
cruelty even to one animal, then indeed your earthly life has been well worth
living. Never weary in the fight for the things that matter. This is the
greatest of all fights, the eternal war against materialism, selfishness, these
cancers that are festering in your world today and lead so many on to foolish
paths where they perish in the darkness without a realization of the purpose
for which they were born into the world.”
Do
not be one who wastes their "life" on Earth, this truly Great and
Divine opportunity, only to "perish
in the darkness without a realization of the purpose for which they were born
into the world”.
Fulfil your reason for Being, your destiny.
And
do not stop with your Self. If every single person on Earth leads just one
other towards the Light, then all humanity achieves the potential to reach the
Light.
As
it is however, the majority are still content to "not get involved"
or to "leave it to someone else" or to focus on self-interest. All is
not lost however. Even a few Self-less people can make a huge difference to
human Consciousness and Evolution.
You
can help to show others the Path by simply sending to everyone you know,
family, friends, co-workers, anyone this Newsletter, that they may too enjoy
the same opportunity that you have enjoyed, an opportunity to Evolve to the
next level of Human Being - Homo Luminous - which is what this Great Transition
is really about.
If
you are receiving this newsletter for the first time and would like to receive

Whatever We Feel is True, Is True
Over the last few years in particular,
especially thanks to the rise of the Internet and movies such as "The
Secret", millions more people have become aware, at least to some extent,
that far from being powerless, always at the "mercy" of circumstance,
other people, "chance" etc, we alone are responsible for our own Life
Experience.
Many now understand that Mind is all
Powerful, and that as Divine Expressions of Source Mind, God" if you
prefer, we All have available All of the
Infinite Power of Source Mind - which Truly is Infinite in every respect. We
Are Source.
The question for many however, especially the
millions who have "tried different methods" for
"manifesting" something, or "creating their own reality",
often without much success, is how this actually "works" in practice.
Well as I have been asked this question by
many people, and listened to how they have approached Expressing their own
Experience, or "creating their own reality", it is apparent to me
that while understanding the nature and power of Mind at an academic level,
most are still actually engaging the Conscious, rational, Ego sphere of Mind
which is powerless in the context of "creating the reality" desired
so much.
This is understandable, and no doubt arises
from the fact that right from birth we are taught to interact with material
things, "think for ourselves", "make decisions", "take
actions" and so on, all of which are of the Conscious, rational, Ego
sphere of Mind.
This leads to the belief that the only way to
"achieve" something is by "doing" it.
Many people are of course aware of the
"Subconscious Mind" and believe that by "programming the
Subconscious Mind" they can "manifest their desires", which is
typically approached through affirmations, creative visualisation and other
methods.
Now in principle, conditioning the
Subconscious sphere of Mind activity in this way can be very effective, since
this Sphere of Mind directs the Infinite Power of Source Mind on a personal
level, with the potential to Express any desired Experience.
However the frequently engaged approach of
constantly repeating words or visualising a situation, will for many prove to
be largely or completely ineffective.
Mind, Source, does not recognise
"words" alone, whether in the context of affirmations, prayer or by
any other human construct of "higher" communication.
Why is this?
Well quite simply affirmations, prayers etc
alone are inherently dualistic in nature in that the words are directed or
petitioned "to" something which is perceived to be external and
bigger in some way, e.g. "Subconscious Mind", "God" and so
on.
In reality there is no dualism - All Is One. So directing words "towards"
some perceived eternal entity will be ineffective, and nothing worthwhile can
be achieved.
This also applies to the use of physical
actions directed towards some objective.
For example, many people in the world today are
highly conscious of, and focussed upon the condition and appearance of their own
physical bodies, as witnessed by the rise in "health clubs",
"gym's" and other places where people go to "workout",
often in the hope of achieving a body that people will admire, or appear more
appealing to the opposite gender, as well of course as for simply "keeping
fit".
Such repetitive actions are really the same
as repetitive words, except in this case such actions are directed towards the
physical body which is still a dualistic concept.
Mind has complete and absolute dominion over the
Inner Expression of Source and Higher Self known as the physical body in every
possible way, for example maintaining bodily functions including heartbeat, therefore
blood circulation, digestion, body temperature and every other life-sustaining
function of the body, all of which Mind facilitates automatically, right from
birth and before, without any physical or conscious effort or instruction
required. These are simply accepted.
If for example we stop for a moment and begin
to think about the process of breathing, then we will become conscious of the
need to breathe and can even become "short of breath" if we do not
make that conscious effort to draw a breath.
If we are walking down a flight of stairs at
home, something we would usually do several times every day, if we suddenly
started to think about the process, e.g. which foot goes first and on what
step, we could very easily trip and fall down the stairs.
What then does this mean exactly?
Well simply that, from birth, we accept such
basic and "natural" actions as walking, breathing, and bodily
functions as a matter of fact, without question, and therefore Feel, with absolute
Faith that these actions and functions will always take place unless there are
intervening circumstances such as illness or accident for example.
Again, we Feel that these basic bodily
functions are self-evidently true.
It follows therefore that whatever we Feel
about our body or Experience must also be true, and that our actual Experience
will be in alignment with our Feelings.
This is still true for "positive"
and "negative" Feelings, regardless of the Experience.
The state of humanity today is such that
people generally have great difficulty in Feeling Healthy, Feeling Wealthy,
Feeling Secure etc, but can very easily Feel negatively about their body in
some way, Feel lack, whether it be money, possession, relationships and so on,
and this is the reason why the actual Experience of such people must and does
always reflect those Feelings perfectly.
So rather than defining Personal, Life Experience
through Feeling Joy, Health and Abundance, many, through the indoctrination of
family, society, religion etc define their Experience through misery and
suffering. If a situation arises that does not conform to misery and suffering,
it is often considered to be "too good to be true".
So it is not what we say or think that
influences our Experience, it is How We
Feel.
If we Feel for example think about
"ageing", our body must and will reflect that state of Being
perfectly in terms of physical appearance and health. Vanity products and drugs
simply reinforce the Feeling of ageing, they can never resolve or reverse it.
As science and medicine has proven and fully
accepts, the human body is being constantly rebuilt in every moment - some
parts taking days to renew, others weeks or months, but after a few years we
have a totally new body in every respect.
People only "grow old" because
society assures them that it is inevitable, even going as far as to describe
the aging process model for people to follow, birthdays with numbers of years,
and fully supported by the countless vanity products on offer to people with
"aging" or "beauty" issues, which simply reinforce these Feelings.
No animal or other life-form worries about or
Feels ageing, which is why they never appear to be "old" in the same
way that humans do after they reach maturity.
We can demonstrate the power of Mind over
body in many ways, not the least of which are through the numerous so called "miracle
healings" that have taken place and continue to take place over the
centuries, including those "patients" doctors considered to be "incurable"
or "terminal", but then later considered to be a "miracle"
when they are healed by the Mind of the patient without any medical
intervention.
Many have heard of "placebo" drugs
where patients are given a sugar pill and assured that it is the latest and
greatest medicine, and who then "miraculously" recover their health
completely, often much more quickly and much more profoundly than the
corresponding patients who were "administered" the actual chemical
drugs.
Even more profound examples can be found in
the cases of "sham surgery". Here people who are seriously or
terminally ill, for example by cancer or brain tumour, are told by doctors that
they need an "operation" to recover health and "save their
lives".
In the case of sham surgery the patient is
given an anaesthetic after which the surgeon performs a deep incision in the
body which is then immediately closed and sutured, appearing as a surgical wound
without actually performing any surgery.
In many cases, again, as with the placebo
drug, "terminal" patients experience a full recovery, very often more
complete than the actual surgery patients who have been "operated on"
incised, modified or removed by the surgeon.
What then does this tell us? Well quite
simply that if the patient Feels that they have been healed, they actually are
healed, and therefore Mind is the True Healing factor.
Even in the cases of people given chemical
drugs and actual surgery, to the extent they recover health is still mostly a
result of Feeling and Mind, how they Feel about their medical treatment, and not
the nature of the chemical drug or surgery itself.
Of course these are examples which we do not
wish to expose ourselves to.
An example which many if not most people are
familiar with is learning to swim.
When a person decides to learn to swim, they
do so from the belief that they cannot swim already, and therefore if they were
to enter deep water they will immediately "sink" and inevitably drown
unless someone jumps in to "rescue" them.
In fact "sinking in the water" is
due only to the belief of the person that they will sink, because they cannot yet,
in other words have not "learned" to "swim", a belief that
is firmly implanted in the Mind of the person, and one in which they Feel is
self-evident, because that is what they have been "led to believe"
from infancy.
However, as that person "learns to
swim" through taking swimming lessons and practice, they gradually gain Faith
in their own abilities to stay afloat and soon to propel themselves through the
water, until finally they become a proficient swimmer. They Feel that they can
swim, and no longer in any danger of sinking or drowning.
Now if that same person who has learned to
swim lies flat on their back in the water they will float rather than sinking
as they Feel would happen before they could swim.
So what therefore has changed?
Clearly the water has not changed - it is
exactly the same water as before the person learned to swim. The body of the
person has not changed - it is exactly the same body as before that could not
swim, the same body that would inevitably sink in the very same water just a
few months previously.
The
only factor that has changed in fact is the State of Mind of the person.
The
only factor that has changed is that the person now Feels that they will float and
can swim, rather than Feeling that they will sink and drown.
Nothing
else has changed except that Inner Feeling.
But "sinking" or
"swimming" is still a conditioned Feeling. People only Feel they will
"sink" in the "water" and potentially "drown" in
the "water" if they Feel they cannot "swim", because this
is what family and society have taught them to be the case.
Now, if a very young baby, one who has not
yet been indoctrinated into the ways and beliefs of society and physical world,
was placed into a swimming pool, the baby will certainly float and probably even
swim. No one has told the baby he or she will "sink" in the water, in
fact a baby has no concept of "sinking" and therefore the Personal
Mind of the baby, always acting in a "life-ward" direction, assures the
baby will float and survive perfectly happily, even though the baby has not
been "taught" to swim.
Before we "learned how to swim" we
could not float, however much we tried, yet once we have learned to swim we
cannot sink however much we try, even through all the physical factors remain
identical. Sinking or swimming is an Inner
Feeling.
The same applies to a child learning to ride
a bike without "training wheels".
We see children falling from their bike time
and again when learning, and nothing seems to enable them to maintain their
balance, resulting in the child becoming frustrated and believing that they
will never ride their bike. Then all of a sudden a friend of the child rides
confidently by on their nice shiny new bike, at which point the child who was
learning mounts their bike and sets off with ease without falling.
In this case the child observes that riding,
balancing and remaining on the bike is perfectly normal, but falling from the
bike is abnormal, impressing this on the Personal Mind which then Feels it can
ride a bike with ease and does so effortlessly.
There are numerous other such examples. The
"difference" is the Inner Feeling.
In the movie and book "The Secret",
one of the participants is involved in training astronauts and athletes. In one
experiment he connected a series of athletes to advanced bio-feedback equipment
and asked them to visualise their usual race in their Mind as if they were actually
running the same race on the track. He observed that the muscles of the
athletes and other bodily functions worked in an absolutely identical way, as
if they were actually running the race. Mind simply does not know the
difference between actual physical "practice" and the Inner Feeling of practicing.
Likewise, when people go to the Gym or health
clubs every day and "work out" to exhaustion, very gradually gaining
a muscular physique, feel healthier etc, it is not the actual physical exercise
bringing it these changes, but rather the Expectation
and Feeling of results being
impressed upon the Mind, which Expresses
the Expected and Felt Experience. People exercise their bodies expecting to
become "stronger", and this expectation alone assures that they do
indeed become stronger.
This is the accepted and widely adopted "no
pain, no gain" mentality.
The fact is, Mind is infinitely capable of instantly bringing about absolutely any
change in the physical body whatsoever, including a muscular, healthy
physique, without ever visiting a gym or using any physical equipment or other
exercise or workout processes, as with Perfect health, abundance and other Life
Experience.
The gym, exercise equipment, swimming
lessons, drugs, surgery etc., are all
"props" for impressing Mind with the desired result based upon Inner Feeling.
The same applies to excellence in any sport
or activity as in Life Experience itself.
All
we need is Feel Inherent Perfection, as if already a fact, and so it must and will
be.
This might sound "easier said than done", but the truth is the
biggest barrier to overcome is actually Feeling that whatever we wish to achieve is already True, after years of
believing that it can only be achieved through physical effort.
All
"success" and "excellence" - Experience - begins and ends
in the Mind.
So how then does physical exertion,
repetition and practice "make" champions?
Well look at the facts.
If we take any popular sport, hobby or
pastime that does not require physical much exertion, and therefore the need to
"build up the muscles, or "get physically fit" in order to achieve
success and "progress through the ranks", we still see that such champions
achieve their objectives through diligent and dedicated practice, even though this
is not changing their physical body or "fitness" to any extent, if at
all.
So what does this practice achieve? The Feeling of Progress, Belief in their
own Abilities, and Faith in the Outcome. This "training" is of
the Mind, not the body.
It should be clear then that we can Experience anything we desire
through Mind alone, through Feeling that the Experience is already True -
and it Is.
Dear
Reader - Whatever We Feel is True, Is Always True - Is Our Experience.
I will conclude with this most appropriate
poem, the author of which is unknown:
If you think you are
beaten, you are;
If you think you dare not,
you don't;
If you'd like to win, but
you think you can't,
It's almost a cinch you
won't;
If you think you'll lose,
you've lost,
For out in the world you'll
find
Success begins with a
fellow's will
It's all in the state of
mind.
Full many a race is lost
Ere even a race is run,
And many a coward fails
Ere even his work's begun.
Think big, and your deeds
will grow,
Think small and you fall
behind,
Think that you can, and you
will;
It's all in the state of
mind.
If you think you are
outclassed, you are;
You've got to think high to
rise;
You've got to be sure of
yourself
before You can ever win a
prize.
Life's battle doesn't
always go
To the stronger or faster
man;
But sooner or later, the
man who wins
Is the fellow who thinks he
can.
In this poem, replace the word
"think" with the word Feel....... And So It Is.
Until
next Sunday, I wish you a most Joyful, Healthy, Abundant week.
Brought to You In
Divine Love, Light and Service,
Adrian.
