Welcome to your Newsletter.

I do hope that you have enjoyed a Wonderful, Joyful and Healthy "week".

As always I would like to welcome the many new members joining us since our last Newsletter.

It is always a great pleasure to see increasingly more people from all around the world, from different countries, cultures and situations united in one common objective - To Find The Path As We Travel Our Path Through This Great Transitional Era.

Finding your Path is one thing - and be assured that I will always do all I can to guide you - but only you can walk the Path. Now is the time to Walk The Path. Of course to "Walk The Path" is a metaphor. No physical action is required. To Walk The Path is a State of Being, a State of Mind and Spirit - which is All There Is.

Mind and Spirit simply Express through the physical medium we call the "body", through which we learn, Experience, and above all, extend Selfless Service to "others" - although in Truth we are All One.

The Great Transition continues unabated, and so shall it Be. To most of humanity this may not be obvious, although many feel and sense something intangible is taking place, it is therefore for each and every one of us to Be of Service by making those around us aware of the True Nature of these changes and how they may be As One with this culmination of one Great Cycle of Life, and the beginning of the next, which will see those thus prepared achieve that Great Evolutionary Leap from Homo Sapien to Homo Luminous  - a Being of Light.

Many may ask what we need to "do" in order to "prepare" and participate in this next step in the Evolution of Humanity.  The Truth is we need "do" nothing, we simply need to Be Who We Are, which requires no effort or planning whatsoever.

The Freedom Of Being Thought-Less

I often receive messages from people telling me what "actions" they have taken to "try" to achieve their objectives, or what they need to "do" to realise some objective.

The first thing I would like to mention is that the word "try" should ideally not exist in the human language - we either "do" or "do not do".

"Trying" to "do" something will almost inevitably guarantee failure because the whole concept of "try" originates from the rational, Ego aspect of Mind which "thinks about doing something" believing "action" is required in order to "achieve" the objective.

That said - should we be "doing" anything at all in order to achieve our objectives? After all, unless we are adept at Telekinesis, "things" do not move or arrange themselves "as if by magic".

Well it depends on the motivation. "Doing" something with the objective of "pushing the physical world around" hoping to achieve "something" will often result in failure.

However, Inspired action, in other words "right action" in response to inspiration, intuition, or "gut feelings" from within, often originating in the Solar Plexus or as some other Inner Feeling, is always something we should do without hesitation.

The apparent paradox is non-action leads to "correct action" or the direct realisation of whatever we truly need as opposed to what we "think" we need.

This important truth is taught extensively by the ancient knowledge of the ages and in religion to the extent that the inner meaning is understood:

"Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than food, and the body than raiment? Look at the birds. They don't plant, harvest, or gather the harvest into barns. Yet, your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth more than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. -- Matthew 6:25-33

These teachings by the person who became known by the name Jesus are very profound, but if only they are interpreted correctly.

What Jesus is saying quite simply is that only by "non-action" and "non-thought" can "all these things be added unto you".

Of course that does not mean we must not "think" in absolute terms, but only that we should not "think" about "how" to achieve our objectives - all action should be inspired or seamless in nature, and therefore as automatic as breathing.

For example - would we "think" about walking?

No - if we thought about the precise action and of the sequence, process and speed of placing one foot in front of the other, we would probably walk awkwardly or even stumble, especially if walking down stairs for example.

Look at a multi-legged creature such as a centipede or millipede with numerous legs. What would happen if the creature used the process of thought to "decide" which legs to move and in what sequence?  It would probably go nowhere at all.

Breathing is another example.

Do we think about breathing?

No of course not. If we stopped to actually think about the physical process of breathing, then breathing might become very erratic, or even stop for a time.

In both the examples of walking and breathing, we never apply thought to the process, but simply have Faith that they will occur perfectly as required.

And so it should be in Life experience generally.

Another wise person of ancient times said:

"In the practice of the Way every day something is dropped. Less and less do you need to force things until you finally arrive at non-action. When nothing is done nothing is left undone". -- Lao-Tsu

 Which confirms the words of Jesus when he rhetorically asks:

"Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"

 This Principle can once again be summarised by the words of Jesus when he says:

 "But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you".

 What this truly means is to realise God, Source within, thereby becoming a more open channel of Expression for God, Source, and everything we need on Earth, just as with the animals, birds and plants will be "added to" or experience in abundance.

Otherwise all "ye of little Faith" will continue to struggle by "thinking" and "doing" from the rational, conscious, Ego Mind, in the hope of physically achieving something.

As we have discussed in recent Newsletters, our "mission" or "objective" on Earth is to achieve a state broadly known as "Enlightenment" through the interaction with, and overcoming the challenges of the physical world and the people we encounter.

In broad terms, Enlightenment embodies the principles of Service to Others Before Self, Unconditional Love of All, Subjugation of the Ego - the rational, thinking Mind.

Buddhism in particular deals with the Ego in its definition of achieving "Nirvana" and therefore liberation from "Samsara", the "wheel of birth, life, death and rebirth", in other words, liberation from reincarnation in to the physical world.

Liberation from Samsara is also considered to be "liberation from misery and suffering" associated with incarnation, but through such "misery and suffering", which is wrought through the Ego, we Evolve through Experience on Earth.

Nirvana, again in broad terms, is said by Buddhists to be attained through:

Freedom from "hate".

Freedom from "desire"

Freedom from "delusion"

 Nirvana then is considered to be a state of supreme Peace, Harmony and Joy at the highest level, while still living in the physical world, knowing, realising and experiencing  "Life" for what it truly is - a fully inclusive Oneness of All.

A person attaining this state is therefore not being prone to influence by "external" illusory factors of the material world, which are seen for what they truly are.

Now the first two conditions for Nirvana are reasonably self-evident.

"Hate" includes any form of "thinking negatively" or "wishing bad things to happen" towards any person, form of life or situation. To do so is to consider people, life or "things" separate or unworthy in some way, perhaps because of perceived actions.

"Hate" is also very dualistic, always being directed at someone or something "else".

The opposite of hate is Unconditional Love.

"Greed" is desiring, "grasping", "clinging on to" etc material possessions or experiences of the senses, for reasons other than basic necessity, e.g. to gratify the physical senses, "keep up appearances", portray an image of wealth, superiority, power etc.  Greed always puts self before others, leads to never being satisfied, and is a major cause of human misery and suffering, which is self-inflicted through Ego.  

The opposite of Greed is Unconditional Service To Others Before Self.

The third factor, "delusion" is probably the least clear, and most fundamental, because it is from delusion that ultimately most other factors adversely influencing Spiritual Evolution originate.

In broad terms, the opposite of delusion is Enlightenment.

Delusion includes many factors, but most stem from one fundamental factor: believing the material world to be "real" and "substantial", and therefore taking it too seriously. If the material world is deemed to be "real", then a person will become bound by its influence, and subject to its own self-imposed rules and conditions, including need to conform to "norms" of "society", power, "standard of living" and all those other things that people spend their lives striving either to achieve or to avoid.

If on the other hand we know the physical world for what it truly is - an incredible opportunity to Evolve through Experience - without being "sucked in to" and therefore subject to its illusory and delusory nature, and while fully recognising and realising our true Spiritual Divine Nature and Source of Power, then we are Free.

There is a passage in the Bible, which, if properly understood, illustrates this:

"And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: [but] the Son abideth ever. If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. -- John 8:32 - 36

The person known as Jesus is saying that if you "know the truth, the truth shall set you free". In biblical times to "know" does not mean to know something at an academic level, but to Know at an infinitely deeper, more experiential level, in other words to "know" at "first hand" beyond any doubt. The disciples say to Jesus words to the effect "well surely if we are the descendents of the original Divinely "seeded" human race, we have been born here to be free, and therefore must be free now.

Jesus goes on to say that "if anyone is in a state of inner detachment from Source - original sin - they will be a servant of, or entrapped within the outer, material world, and cannot at that stage experience the higher, or inner bliss of abiding as a free Expression of Source, be longer subject to the phantasm of the material world".

He concludes by saying that once a person sees beyond the illusion of the material World to Be Within Power and Expression of the Inner, Source, they are truly Free.

So how may we become "Free" leading to Enlightenment or the state the Buddhists known as "Nirvana" and other cultures known by many other names?

Well ultimately such states are a journey, which can only be achieved through Experience. However, as usual, the beginning of the journey commences with an understanding of the true nature of what must be experienced and attained.

Well the answer to these questions might seem to be somewhat of a paradox.

To achieve these States of Being on Earth ultimately requires non-Experience and non-Thought originating from the rational, conscious, Ego Mind, to give way to Expression of Divine Mind of Unconditional Love.

A major factor differentiating these two states is that actions driven and motivated by the rational, conscious, Ego Mind require conscious effort, whereas Expression of Divine Source Mind does not - it becomes a seamless aspect of our very Being.

So how then is this achieved in reality?

Well clearly we cannot Express our Inner Divine, Source Nature while the conscious, rational, Ego Mind has control.

The rational, conscious Ego Mind is like a small child who demands this, that and the other, and proceeds to have a tantrum if it is not forthcoming. Very often it is easier for the parents to simply give in, let the child have their way, to bring peace again.

In the adult world the Ego is constantly comparing itself to "others" - home, possessions, lifestyle etc - and becomes agitated if it perceives lack by comparison.

There is a constant battle to live up to the expectations of family, relations, friends etc, so as not to appear to be a "failure" in some way, especially by comparison to other family members or school friends who "made it good".

This has become increasingly the case over the last few decades as exponentially more material temptations have appeared, especially relating to technology, thereby vastly increasing the pressure to "keep up" and maintain the "standard of living".

This, Dear Reader, can and never will bring enduring happiness or Enlightenment.

Our needs as humans are, and always have been very simple - natural whole foods, basic shelter and clothing. "Modern society" has progressively confused and complicated these fundamentals and basics for commercial and control purposes.

With this has become an increasing perceived need to "think" and "do" more, just to "keep up" with the "demands and expectations of modern society".

Blessed with Divine Freewill we always have a choice however.

Free the Mind.

Again, the person who became known as Jesus said:

"Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek:) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you". 

 So what then does this mean?

Well quite simply that as Expressions of Source, The Divine, God, Source already knows every single human being, as well as all other life forms, why we are here, and what we genuinely require in order to fulfil our reason for Being here. We are all Expressions of Source, We Are Source, we only need to Realise Source.

We do not need to think about anything and especially do not need to take physical actions based upon that thought. Neither should we ever compare ourselves with others - there are no "others".

In fact there is no "good" or "evil" people. These are human concepts. Everyone is here for a reason, to gain specific Experience as Unconditional Expressions of Source Perfection, the entirety of the human race, The All, Whole is Balance.

So not only must we move away from a "human way of thinking", we must move away from "thinking" altogether.  As the person known as Jesus said: "Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?"

It will be clear to many, when "trying to do something", that the more we think about it or "try" to do it, the more difficult it seems - even the very simplest things. This is because such thoughts and associated actions are of the rational, conscious, Ego Mind which insists that we need to "think" about something before "taking action".

In Truth, Source, of Which we are All a Divine Expression, and Whose Mind, Consciousness, Energy, Perfection and Unconditional Love flows through us All, knows of our genuine needs before a conscious thought even enters our awareness.

The "delusion" described by Buddhist "Nirvana" is believing we know better than Source, and that material world and society is "real" and "important" in some way.

The absolute state of Buddhist Nirvana is experienced through being free from the self-inflicted "misery and suffering" arising from interaction with the material world. Once attained, the delusion is transcended, and there can be no "hate" or "greed".

Now we do not need to be a Buddhist or subscribe to any other culture, tradition or belief system to realise the states known as "Enlightenment" or "Nirvana".

By subjugating the Ego, Living in the Moment and not "thinking", we allow the Infinite Power and Love of Source to Flow and Express to bring Perfection. Once we attain this State of Being, we need never "think" about any form of notional needs, desires, etc, because our Experience must always be Perfect, "for your heavenly Father - Source - knoweth that ye have need of all these things. But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you".

 Our only "concern" for "others" should be in the context of extending Selfless Service and Expressing Divine Love, and not to compare ourselves with.

 Once we cease to "think" we start to simply Be. That is True Joy and Freedom.

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.
