Waiting...
Part Nine: Waiting…
One of the better blessings of life on Earth is the daily cycle. Regardless of how our present day has gone, there is always tomorrow. Another chance to do better—a night’s sleep, reset all systems and thinking; and with the rising sun, go at the thing again. Of course many realities of yesterday do spill over into the next day. Unresolved issues in the home, at our place of employment, with loved ones, friends, and the conditions of the world, etc. Our discussion is regarding those areas in which we have total control, not peripheral relationships with and other ancillary links. Because, at the end of the day, what remains is what always remains: YOU.
There you are, you.
And how did YOU handle your day, the things that came at you? The events that dropped onto your doorstep? The people who came at you? The results of the choices you’ve made so far in your life? For those choices are your children and these children always come home to mommy and daddy. Did you wail in self-pity, whine about this person or that, attack various people in various ways, bring your brand of stench filling your daily life with deceptions, lies, slanders, gossip, and other harmful toxins to the human condition? Well?
Did you respond to your attackers with kindness and love? Show them a better way, that you cared, and were concerned with their REAL issues, not the petty and pointless emotional me’isms which only serve to sink their soul deeper into the illusions of life? Did you act as a mirror to yourself, reflecting high character, honesty, integrity, strength, and willingness to learn and be? Did you put out every dime you had down to your last few dollars so another could have and be in your place? Did you get off your rear and make a home cooked dinner rather than microwave some Franken food, so your family could have some real nutrition?
How about presenting fictions as truths, binding others wrongfully into things they clearly stated were thus and so? Were your friends and children given every consideration over YOURSELF, as best as you could see their REAL needs and not fictional desires, presented to you as needs? If you live from your heart, you already know how to tell the difference between the two situations.
Each day we have a chance to look at our day, see how we did in the light of our own spiritual standards (ours, not someone else’s) and see where we failed to perceive truth, where we failed to hear truth, and where we ourselves were such self-indulgent, vain, and pompous blowhards. As you grow inward to the Kingdom of Love within you, the less you need to say, and when you do say something of moment, it’s profound. All else is chit-chat. “How’s are things, dude?” “Awesome. The flower beds are always changing, but yet they are always beautiful, perfect even.”
Precisely.
Remember one of the key points as we are “waiting for Godot,” in our time. It’s our spiritual standards as souls, not what some preacher says, or magi, or guru, or teacher. You have your own teacher within you, wherein resides the kingdom of heaven. If you want to travel inward and upward on the fast track with those already doing so, going to them for instruction is exactly wrong. They’ll tell you the same thing: “why come to me? You know what you need to do, so get you to it. The thing—for your life—is known to you, if you’ll take the time to listen. Because IT’S YOUR LIFE!” My experiences are mine, yours are yours. Your life is wholly different from mine, and THEREFORE, SO IS YOUR INNER SPIRITUAL JOURNEY!!!
It amazes me to no end to see yet another meditation course, another contacting the Higher Self thingy, another yoga/body deal (great for relaxation, but no spiritual path in itself), another self-improvement whatever, another releasing the kundilini routine and all the while, (for many shekels, of course) the devotees stay the same bitchy, self-absorbed, me-me-me, do for me, folks they were before. To what purpose these things, then, if there is no marked inner change toward a beautiful soul? And why is it the people presenting these courses, these materials, have rotten auras, are lost in tarot cards and other low-grade forms of divination, and generally have bad health themselves? What gives? Shouldn’t they be clairaudient, clairvoyant, and really see?
The answer is because, no, they are unable to be such things. They have small seeds which they present as major oak trees. How many times did we learn in the past about psychics who over the last decades of the 20th century were actually using shills, cut-outs and intelligence gathering techniques on the audience, so as to give over the impression of being genuine? Dozens, to be sure. And that kind of worthless tripe is still going on today and there are the packed rows of people, laying their money down in vain hopes of talking to a dead relative. Most of these scams were exposed in the late 19th century for the huckster grifts they were…and remain so to this day. The modern versions of such things are uniquely connected with the “network” and dossiers on everyone on the grid are available to these showboats so that they can “wow” the faithful. All the while they’re using inner ear implants and microphones, in the endless fashion of deceiving the world with their “powers.”
Your standards are ideally made known the instance you truly want to know them, live them, and be them. Even the standards presented in this paper clearly may be different from yours because you may have higher or lower ideals, as relates to your life condition, age, education, connection with divinity, and so on. Everyone is so very busy waiting for some spiritual solution from on high regarding the world’s problems, but always fail in the first step of dealing with being the inner divine solution of their very own life. It’s always the other guy’s fault. She or he’s to blame.
Really? Sure about that, are you?
“It’s because you didn’t take the trash out when I wanted you to, that my life is such a mess!” Riiiiiiight. And off they go, into yet another self-indulgent tangent, dumping all their frustrations, hatreds, and inner failures onto yet another innocent party. And very often, that innocent party is someone under their thumb, like a child, or subordinates at work. These human failures use their small-time positions of power to vent every chance they get onto someone who has their own issues, by the way, and thereby projecting all their pent up rage, frustrations, and complete lack of character upon those around them. It’s quite painful and hideous to see, but boy it’s the plague of the 21st century. It’s everywhere you go, in practically every home, office, school, whatever, worldwide. It’s the sickness of denial of seeing ourselves honestly, that we project onto others, our very own character vices. We blame them for our inability to be growing souls adapting to the pressures of our times. Instead, we embrace the dark attributes: rage, blame, malice, jealousy, envy, greed, resentment, and pour these into the ears of anyone who will listen—or must listen, sadly—and all the while the people remain unchanged, waiting for yet another day for venting and bleeding their inner malfunctions everywhere they go.
Two things occur at bedtime and in arising of the morning: the main issues of the day that were to be the bread and butter of that soul’s life experience. Just as you lay down for “lights out” and the days mess rambles before your mind. For the majority, most of the things they need to review and learn from are pushed below to deal with their desires. Ironically, the issues being pushed away are mostly realities that have come home to roost because they are based in desire. But rather than face and understand these causations—these children that come home to their creator—they slip into fanciful wishing it would “all just go away” or some other reality that is a kind of escapism.
And for a time, it does go away. Then it percolates as kind of bubbling pressure inside us until we begin to do and say the kind of things that end up as acts of rage against those we love, or venomous venting to those that are in our world, previously mentioned in this section.
For example, if in a single day, 43 events occurred in which they had to interact with the world, be who they are, and live and be, then each of these events were teaching moments and energy moments. Teaching moments because the event allowed the person to express themselves in any kind of way that they might and see themselves in the doing; the idea and purpose of each thing to do it better and to become more than what you were beforehand. These are the trifling moments that define us. For in the weight, manner, and measure of how we express ourselves in our actions and thinking, so we truly are. And, at the end of the day, a kind of visual record replays in the mind that says, “here is you. This is how you saw things. This is what you did. This is who you are.” For many people, if they can even get to this moment without pushing it away as most do, it then becomes a situation of defending one’s self, of defending ego, vanity, and pride. Sigh.
The awakening person doesn’t wait until the end of the day. Each event as it occurs is taken in full awareness, ever watchful of their role as a soul, how selfish and unselfish they are, how much of their own ego, vanity, and self-glory is present or the higher qualities: love, kindness, understanding, insight, caring, patience, perseverance, steadfastness, and perception. They are keen to know themselves and why they do the things they do. What really motivates them. WHO THEY ARE. When they bed down at the end of the day, a whole treasure trove of insight, understanding, and knowing awaits for the mind and soul to review. “Ah, I see that now. Oh, this is how I can do that better next time. That person was on about this or that. That was a play aimed at me, and these were the motivations for such an action. And so forth.” They see things as they really are and they are helped—because they are eager to know and take advantage of every single day that is theirs here on earth—in this knowing. Insight from On-high is entrusted to them. The path of love is revealed in each incident. The way of becoming a noble soul is indicated. And for all this, THAT COMES FROM WITHIN, they move forward, becoming a little more each day, better at learning, knowing, and being.
The second thing that comes is energy. It’s direction at you, your interaction with, and what comes from you back out into the world. This is what resolves past issues, causes change within the self, and also creates future relationships which can then be used toward some betterment for all concerned. The secret here is that every single thing that steps upon your path puts energy into your system for you to work with. Every single interaction is one of an exchange of energy. Once this is fully understood, attacks, plays, scams and grifts then becomes reservoirs of energy turned toward some good, freely given by the dark powers, for you to transform. Thank You!
Once this is understood, no longer do you see attacks with hatred and resentment. Instead, a smile plays upon your face as you realize that they have handed you a million-dollar-a-moment event for you to take in, transform, and turn back out into the world as something positive. And they give it to you on a silver platter. As they pile up their plans to thwart you, all those involved—the resources, soul energy of every single person in the group so working against you, the money involved, and material elements involving earth, fire, air, and water, et al—becomes yours to do with what you will. At that moment, the wisdom of Christ’s words hit you between the eyes like never before. “Love your enemies. Bless your enemies” Like a thunderbolt, you see how this exchange actually is working toward a higher good, beyond the petty revenge and icy malice that is the dark side. Turning all that comes into the best you can, in spirit, in deed, in thought, and in action, you see and understand the miracle of polar opposites in new ways that as yet, has ever been written about heretofore in the world. Ever. The actions of dealing with violence with non-violence become crystal clear to you. The issue of taking a blow and in turn, offering love in its place, are not only the way to go, but also reveal how world can and ultimately will, find its solutions to its problems. All the realities of the higher way are yours to do and be and know. As you act out these perceptions, you then be entrusted with greater work, greater responsibilities, and in the doing, so bloom as a soul.
An awakening soul is one who spends their day, from start to finish, just being the same person they always are in life. Their responsibilities, the people they know and interact with, those that come in and out of their lives, just living in all outward appearances, as any normal and generally, healthy person. Whatever things they do, in business and labor, on any level, is entirely mundane and gives little outward sign that something is definitely afoot. One aspect of themselves that is observable is a constant smile that comes through the eyes, even when engaged upon serious discussion or matters of interest. They have a glow, a general warmth, that exudes from their being. Aside from that, there is little that makes any indication that for them, their life is one fantastic series of inner changes, often reflecting itself in their outward experience.
Every day becomes yet another opportunity to expand their thinking, patience, knowing, and being. And life gives them those experiences that do just that and more. They learn that their desires are really hindrances to what really matters; it’s their needs that are of moment, and in consequence, they are eager and in constant search to know those real needs and put their life’s matters of interest in such a way as to make sure they discern between the two constantly, so as to make the best choices possible.
At the end of our life, we are drawn to a place where we witness all that we said and did. The one defining report that comes from those who have experienced NDEs (near death experiences) were those moments they acted against love. The other issue of note is that this “life review” that takes place at death has mainly to do with all those issues that were ignored in the daily life. This is where the awakening soul differs from the herd. You know each moment of your day matters and seek out all that it has to offer and to better understand yourself in that role, come what may.
For it will come, whatever it is. The little things, the big things, and the millions of in-between things. At the end of the day, how did you handle it all? The best and only judge of your actions, feelings, and thoughts is YOU, the judge that resides in the chambers of the heart, the doorway to the Kingdom of Heaven within. For that judge—the only judge that has earned the right to observe you, guide you, and love you unconditionally—is the Christ and it is in the chambers of your own heart that His Whispers can be heard.
