Quotes

"When a huge and hazardous iceberg is spotted in the Atlantic Ocean, it is carefully charted and followed by patrol boats. When the iceberg eventually drifts into warm waters, it disappears, leaving the patrol with no more work to do. This is how our inner work leads to a healthy lack of concern for ourselves. By carefully following a worry or a disappointment, we see it drift into the warm waters of our expanded understanding, where it disappears." -Vernon Howard

Isn’t this a beautiful quote? Quotes from various sources are used throughout our School. Angels do not care who said what. If it works, they will use it. Angels are never envious when a human being says something in the perfect way, perhaps more perfectly than they themselves could have said it. Angels do not claim ownership for the words that come through them, and so they do not assign ownership to the words of others. Angels know that everything comes from, belongs, and returns to the same Source. Of course, in the material world of human beings, there are rules. Copyright laws must be honored. Quotes must be acknowledged.

Everything has already been said, anyway, in one way or another. You have already heard many of the concepts in these lessons. Truth is always old and always new. Truth is also relative and elusive. Our understanding of truth changes as we do.

Spirtual Wisdom in a Cartoon

EGO

Dem Ego mangelt es stets an Einfühlungsvermögen. Dem Ego mangelt an allem, was uns mit etwas Höherem verbindet.

Ego always lacks empathy. Ego lacks everything that connects us with something higher. 

True Spirituality

It is not spiritual to generate or share anxiety and fear in the world. Turn away from those who spread fear. Turn towards those who bring peace. Turn Within. Let the fear in the world of darkness lead you to True Spirituality.

Buddha

What is the POINT?

When you read your daily messages, or spiritual -- what is the point?

The point is to read as a contemplation, a meditation. Allow the words to allow your mind to open, expand, and think in new ways.

"The person whose glance is like an x-ray sees through a person. This person will find more faults, lacks, wants in human nature, but it is this person who will be less affected by them or overlook them and rise above them. The reason is that he sees the cause, and when he sees the cause he sees the effect." - Hazrat Inayat Khan

This says finding faults in "human nature" -- not in human beings. We are part of human nature. When we see into human nature, we see into our own nature. We must not worry, harshly judge, or condemn. We must SEE what is. We cannot heal from our own faults if we cannot see them. 

Your lessons are not meant to adhere to any particular rules of writing. They are meant to wake you up—take you out of your ordinary mindset, create new neural pathways in your brain and guide you along existing pathways of creativity and enlightenment. They are designed to free you from the prison of mechanical thinking.

Thanks for the winter rose, JP

Sri Nisargadatta

“The world is but a show, glittering and empty. It is, and yet is not. It is there as long as I want to see it and take part in it. When I cease caring, it dissolves. It has no cause and serves no purpose. It just happens . . .  It appears exactly as it looks, but there is no depth in it, nor meaning. Only the onlooker is real. To the Self the world is but a colourful show, which he enjoys as long as it lasts and forgets when it is over. Whatever happens on the stage makes him shudder in terror or roll with laughter, yet all the time he is aware that it is but a show. Without desire or fear he enjoys it, as it happens.”

~Sri Nisargadatta, "I AM THAT"

The Buddha declared in one of his last teachings: 
Atma dîpo -- "Be your own light."

Amazing Morning

Yes, it is an amazing morning here in our classroom. I haven't posted in a while. But every morning I make a cup of coffee and open the classroom. My heart is always filled. My soul is uplifted. My mind is quieted. This is how I start my day, with the classroom. It sets a peaceful tone for how my day goes. That and the coffee--lo. Seriously, when for some reason I can't get here in the morning, I feel like my day and my being are off kilter. I also enjoy going back into the archives--I always find just what I need, sometimes surprises.

I am anticipating my new lesson since tomorrow is the 8th. Oh -- and WELCOME! to the new students. This is a great place to BE.  Hope to hear from you! Oh -- and here is an Amazing Morning to share with you. -Kevin

Some beauty for your soul

"One may have a blazing hearth in one's soul and yet no one ever came to sit by it. Passers-by see only a wisp of smoke from the chimney and continue on their way." -Vincent van Gogh

HEALING PRAYER

I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force To
Remove All Obstructions From My Mind

I ask This Great Unseen Healing Force To

are in Need of Help And to Restore Them
to Perfect Health.

​I Put My Trust In the Love and Power of
God.

WELCOME NEW STUDENTS!

Welcome to our new students and classmates: 

 Hemant, Claudia, Berta, Terry, & Manuela 

We have students from the USA, India, Switzerland, Germany, Lebanon, and Croatia. Our school is a multi-cultural school. Everyone is welcome from every religion, culture, and nationality. You don't need a VISA and there are no walls or borders. The only walls are the ones you hide behind. The only borders are self-created. Here in our school, we affirm your innate freedom. Your school cannot give you something you do not have. It can only point the way to the freedom within you. Your school and all its lessons, all its messages, are simply signposts along the way. Follow them! Listen to the angelic voices softly calling you home. Listen! Can you hear? The voices of the angels are not different from the voice of your own Heart, the voice of Intuition, the voice of God.  

 

Angels and Acceptance

Acceptance, as defined by the angels, is not a passive sit back and do nothing state. Acceptance means moving in harmony with what IS, willing to let go and move in another direction when so guided. The spiritual path is a journey away from stress to the peace that comes when we let go, accept what is, and flow with creation as it manifests itself in each changing moment. 

Angels are effective precisely because they do not engage in hopeless struggle. Angels simply allow the work of God to flow effortlessly through them. Angels do not sit around pondering problems and they never worry. “Can any of you, however much you worry, add a single cubit to your span of life?" (Matthew 6:27) If a very small thing is beyond your powers, why worry about the rest?”

   

fear not!

Do not fear losing hope. It is the fear of losing yourself. It is like standing at the river with a thimble, hoping to quench your thirst. The angels say, why not just jump into the river…become the river…let the river carry you in its direction, instead of struggling to go in your direction. Why not just breathe and relax and stop being the doer — and let the great river of life and light carry you, do everything for you.

FAITH AND EXPECTATION

 
Faith comes from God. Expectation comes from ego.

Faith is a vital, expansive part of life. Faith is a light shining in your heart. Faith exists in the now. Expectation jumps in and crowds out the innocent, expansive energy of faith. Faith can let go. Expectation can only grab. Expectation insists on its own way and experiences a big letdown that can lead to depression and resentment when it does not get what it wants. Expectation travels heavy with demands, attachments, and ego. Faith travels light. Faith holds a vision put there by God. Expectation takes hold of that vision and calls it “mine.”

A beautiful understanding of faith can be found in the words of Sun Bear, a medicine chief and sacred teacher of Chippewa descent, “If our vision or medicine told us to move again we would do that, because we cannot be arrogant. We must accept what our vision tells.”

And from Hebrews 11:1, comes this philosophy, “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.”

A HEALING MEDITATION FOR BODY, MIND, SPIRIT

Your body is a vessel. The body contains not only what you eat and breathe, but also what you think, imagine and feel. We are affected at every level by what we think and believe. Your school guides you to becoming aware of the beliefs that form your reality. Your school encourages you to become free of beliefs you have been holding onto since childhood, even lifetimes, which form your identity--your false identity.

Your school reaches deep within your conditioned mind to free you from the beliefs that limit and control your life, so you can think for yourself.

Pains and illnesses in the body are directly related to your thinking. We cannot help but have certain pains in the body, because the body is physical, subject to the physical laws of the universe. But the way you respond to pain also determines the way pain manifests.

Some people feel a small pain in their body and react with fear or anger. Some people run immediately for pain pills. Some want to learn about that pain, why it is there and what it means. Some respond with love to the place of pain.

This is not to say that all pain and illness can be healed by our thinking, but our thoughts can make pain and illnesses worse and harder to heal from. We are whole beings. What affects any part of body, mind, or soul, affects everything.

What you are not aware of controls you. When you become aware of limiting beliefs, they begin to lose control over you.

A HEALING MEDITATION

Imagine that your body is slowly being filled with Soft Healing Golden Light. Give this light a fragrance that appeals to you. You are now being filled with Soft Golden Healing Fragrant Light. Gentle and warm, this fragrant golden light begins to fill your body.

See yourself standing in a warm fragrant golden puddle of Light
Your toes are filling with this light
The light is covering and filling your feet
Up to your ankles
Moving up through your calves
Deep into and around your knees
Up through and into your thighs
Deep into your hips, both hips equally
Healing, balancing your hips

Let your hips receive 
Let your hips receive
Let your hips receive

Aligning and balancing your hips
Now the light moves deep into your belly
Around to your lower back

Swirling through all your sexual creative organs
Healing, Warm, Passionate Light
Moving now into your solar plexus
Filling your solar plexus 

Calm Healing Warm Fragrant Golden Light
Moving up through your spine
Filling your back and each vertebra 

Upward and inward into your heart
And lungs
Penetrating each organ
With healing golden light

Continuing into your heart
Completely filling your heart with Golden Fragrant Light
The light circles upward to your shoulders
Releasing all burdens
Your shoulders letting go, relaxing
Floating within the light

Warm Golden Fragrant Light
Flowing down into your arms
Your hands
Your fingers

Breath deeply
Inhaling fragrant warm golden light.
Up to your chin
Filling your neck
Filling your mouth
Tasting warm golden light

Nectar on your tongue
Filling each tooth
Filling your head
Shining out through your third eye 

Becoming your hair
Up through the crown of your head
A Warm Golden Healing Crown of Light 

Your whole body filled now
With Healing Fragrant Warm Golden Light
Your whole body 
Breathing Golden Light
Free of pain
Whole, Complete, Healed 
Now and Forever.

THINK FOR YOURSELF

When you mindlessly believe what you have been taught or conditioned to believe, you are letting others do your thinking for you. This keeps you imprisoned by other people's thoughts. It takes courage to think creatively, to think ‘outside the box’ in ever-evolving circles, curves, swirls, mandalas, and lines that expand into infinity—and finally, to realize there is no box at all.

Be willing to be courageous! Be willing to give up false ideas of lack, loss, fear, and limitation! Be willing to live your True Magnificence!

Never Blindly Believe Anything!
Do not believe anything you read here.
Contemplate what you read.
Find out for yourself what is true.
