  • Who Is In Control?

    Who Is In Control?

    The mindset of humankind has the belief that something does not exist unless you can see it or touch it. Two of your five senses establish your reality. Your brain processes what you see, which is the belief in the statement “seeing is believing”.

    That’s fine, but the first step of the process is in that your consciousness is the first to begin the manifesting process into that “seeing” in the form of matter, a physical “thing.”

    Nothing can be in thought or existence without the spiritual world flowing into the physical world. The consciousness of God, the consciousness of the universe and/or this world, and the consciousness of each created individual, is the beginning of the process.

    The universe and earth itself has its own consciousness because creation is and from God. The oneness and collective consciousness of God-Creation and the Holy Spirit is creations consciousness allowing you to have your own life, your own individuality-conscience with perception from the individual through free will.

    How you “see” and analyze things are totally up to you. If you allow the world, or another souls world to dictate what is your truth or what is a lie, its your free will choice. But when your flesh mind self is in control by way of the ego over your spiritual conscious self, your are not in control from a biblical perspective of life. If the balance between heaven and hell within you sides on the ways of negativity instead of the ways of goodness, your heaven and hell then who is in control?

    Therefore, heaven and hell exist within, as well as a “place” according to scriptures.

  • Forgiveness-Judgement-Love

    Forgiveness-Judgement-Love

    For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you: But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.  So that contrariwise ye ought rather to forgive him, and comfort him, lest perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow. For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. (Mat 6:14-15) (2Cor 2:7) (Gal 5:13)

    Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not, and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven: And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but perceivest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Either how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull out the mote that is in thine eye, when thou thyself beholdest not the beam that is in thine own eye? Thou hypocrite, cast out first the beam out of thine own eye, and then shalt thou see clearly to pull out the mote that is in thy brother’s eye. (Luke 6:37) (Luke 6:41-42) 

    But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; That ye may be the children of your Father which is in heaven: for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust. Wherefore I beseech you that ye would confirm your love toward him. The disciple is not above his master: but every one that is perfect shall be as his master. (Mat 5:44-45) (2Cor 2:8) (Luke 6:40)

    And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord, of one mind. (Rom 8:28) (Eph 3:17) (Php 2:2)

    Grace be with you, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. (2John 1:3)

  • What Serves You?

    What Serves You?

    Take politics for example. The heart-mind chooses sides. But when the sides or all the options are from a negative perspective, or has the appearance of not serving you; then you change your mindset for your soul to serve your own soul.
    Why allow others to bring you down to their perspective if your perspective should be from a positive standpoint? (Note; Using the term “level” is not from a correct understanding.)
    Focus your awareness from the standpoint being from love, which is the basis of truth.
    Then your understanding from that perspective, coming from truth, bad news is actually good news, or news the has no opinion or comment.
    Then sorrow, fear, anger, bitterness simply does not exist in your world.
    The answer is you, in you, from you. So who do you want to be, or who is telling you who you are? Who is serving who?
    So give that some thought and see if you can understand how to implement that plan and not change who you really are, (your spiritual self), and not serve the flesh-worldly standpoint from your ego and the world.
    That is coming out of the world but yet living in it.

    Rom 12:2
    And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

    If God and Jesus work through you, and scriptures state you are in Them and they are in you, then what actually comes from you other then that willingness from your heart-mind, leading by way of the love coming from within oneself?

  • How To Train Your Ego

    How To Train Your Ego 

    Where did your ego come from?

    Gen 3:5

    For God doth know that in the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.

    There needs to be an awareness to understand the created spiritual self, and the flesh-mind self. The flesh-mind self was created when the spirit-soul was birthed into the flesh. Distinctly different, but connected. Scripture refers this to the inner man, and the image of the earthly and the heavenly.

    Eph 3:16

    That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;

    1Co 15:49 

    And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly. 

    Now establishing the ego, the outer man is largely responsible for what comes from the mind-brain. The outer man takes presidence over the inner man because of the awareness of “life” from the self through the 5 senses and not the created spirit.

    Ego likes to think it is protecting your best interests based mostly upon past experiences. Past experiences that may not reflect the right thinking in the present-now-moment.

    The ego thinks it acts in one’s best interests balancing the humans external world with its internal self. In essence though, it has overtaken the true spiritual self and is compromising it in the world of duality.There is no duality in the true spiritual self.

    The ego is the “god” in man as mentioned in Gen 3:5 with awareness stemming from the mind-brain. The ego-god relates to self-esteem, self-importance, and self-worth. That’s fine, but it puts the mind in thinking of the “self” being above others, (as gods), when in fact all created souls are equal in any given situation or experience at any time.

    1Co 15:53  For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. 

    1Co is saying that the corruptible, which is a spiritual death from a flesh perspective, must draw the spiritual self into current awareness. The spiritual self that is immortal.

    Mark 7:15-16  There is nothing from without a man, that entering into him can defile him: but the things which come out of him, those are they that defile the man. If any man have ears to hear, let him hear.

    Saying that the flesh world offers the duality of life in opposition to love. Opposition, or duality that is from the established freedom of the soul. The freedom to freely choose life, or to choose entertaining what defiles him.

    The spiritual self knows only of the knowledge of but not the experiences of “feelings” from the flesh such as fear, anxiety, anger, resentment, insecurity, doubt, pride, arrogance, worry, distress, and alike that are commonalities of this flesh world.

    If the ego would have any qualities about it, the mind-self would have the ongoing awareness having confidence, humility, empathy, being less self-centered, and understanding in everything that is projected from the mind to the senses. Control coming from the spiritual self. The spiritual self when under present awareness is able to control the ego and the products stemming from the duality of goodness and negativity.

    Experiences that would be opposite of love, freedom, faith, trust, and alike from the spiritual self, that are connected to God, are then compromised by the ego.

    The ego-flesh-mind thinks it’s balancing or making up for what the true spirit stands for that is not being accessed.

    The ego “judges” every minute detail and feels like there has to be some kind of determination from “whatever experience”, either from itself or what is sees from others. Judgement should be coming from the spiritual self and not the flesh-ego self. The ego will “justify” from the flesh perspective and not the spiritual perspective in which the spirit was created.

    The changes begin from the flesh creating a false separation from the true self, just as the same separation is “felt” in the souls relationship with God and neighbor. 

    If a soul would understand that it’s true self is perfect and the mind-self has trust and faith in God, the ego has little purpose. If there is any purpose of the ego, it would be in having confidence, in faith and total trust in God’s control, and having empathy for others in any given situation and allowing them to live from the freedoms that itself chooses to live from.

  • A Daily Mantra And Prayer

    A Daily Mantra & Prayer

    I am reminding myself of who I truly am! I am also creating my awareness for right thinking!

    I am a child of God that was created with a perfect spirit. Through my imperfect flesh body-mind-thought that is worldly, my true nature is a being of love and goodness from my created spirit because I was created by God, I am in God, and live through God, as His Word so states.

    I am reminding myself that God’s love for me is absolute, never changing, and that He wants the best for me through His love, and the love from and through His Son Jesus, as the Word so states.

    I understand the reason for the world to have polarity-negativity. Negativity is a freewill choice so that through those experiences, I understand purpose, and how I see the world from my truths. I have free will to choose His love, or to choose those experiences that do not serve me and those things in life that are not from goodness and love.

    I am creating my awareness to change my thinking from all negativities and judgements from the past into this present day because those negativities do not serve me. I did not realize that I create and judge my own life situations positive and negative.

    I understand that polarity has purpose to learn and understand, to bring to light what life truly is through those experiences. I forgive myself and all others from my past into my present. I also realize that I am judging myself by correcting my wrong thinking to right thinking, as the Word so states.

    I understand that I can heal from my dis-ease by letting go of past judgements, negativities, wrong thinking and actions that have nothing to do with the blessings that are currently in my life.

    Today I choose NOT to live by those things from my ego-mind. I am leaving my ego “at the door”, and I understand that all souls have that same love from God as myself. Therefore, I will not judge anything or anyone because I am not God as the Word so states.

    Now I understand what true faith and trust in God really is.

    I ask myself, how can my thinking and/or actions from a negative perspective serve my goodness and my life today?

    To what end is the thought and/or actions if it is not by way the way of goodness and love? 

    Do I not realize that negative thoughts produce a negative present and a negative future? Or to bring a negative thought from the past into my present?

    How does any negativity work with my interactions in this world? Does it help me to love and serve others? Are we not all equal and connected to God as the Word states?

    I relinquish ANY disease (dis-ease), because it does not serve me and my purposes in my life. My healing can be miraculous, or by time. I understand that my body can regenerate and heal as the Word states, therefore, I so choose.

    I am an eternal living soul, living eternal life from love, because love is life, as the Word so states.

    Amen. MJI (LightWorker)

  • 4 Mustard Seeds

    4 Mustard Seeds 

    Mat 13:31 

    Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of mustard seed, which a man took, and sowed in his field: 

    *Trust in God is faith. Judgement is a lack of faith. Everything in all of creation, and creations eternity is foreknown by God, therefore prejudged. 

    *God, the Holy Spirit, Jesus, and all of creation are one. Separation is a product of false teachings. The soul chooses separation, not God.

    *Love is the basis of life. Negativity brings duality to life and the opposition of love. Yet condoned when understanding is from the perspective of choice to love, and growth in love from the duality of experiences. God states he is only love. He has no duality whatsoever, as well as never changes.

    *Freewill is absolute, all inclusive, eternal, and without constraints. Freewill is equal to all of creation under the auspices of God. A souls judgement, are judgement by ones own freewill.

  • Let’s Get Enlightened!

    Let’s Get Enlightened!

    All thought or consciousness stems from your spirit as created by God. The conundrum, or mystery born into the flesh. The creates the duality between the physical mind and the spirit-soul.

    The Truth begins from the spirit because your spirit was created in perfection. This is why Jesus said;

    Be ye therefore perfect even which your Father in heaven is perfect.” 

    Modern day Western world religion does not teach thinking from the soul-spirit but from the mind of man and not the mind of God from which you were created. This is why Jesus said;

    Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.”

    Your heart is the brain of love. What is your IQ? Does your mind-ego determine how much love is to be released? Does your spirit-soul rule or mind-ego?

    Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,?”

    When the flesh can understand right thinking, the right thinking is the truth, the truth from your soul-spirit, and the truth can if it wishes prevails over the mind. Furthermore, from what the flesh senses “see” and the ego judges  overpowering the spirit. That is why Romans states;

    And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.”

    If your transformed, the renewing of your mind, one can assume that being conformed to the world would be conformed from the mind. What is the world teaching you by way of religious and worldly teachings and traditions? Are you seeking after knowledge and understanding?

    If thou seekest her as silver, and searchest for her as hid treasures;?”

    Then shalt thou understand the fear of the LORD, and find the knowledge of God.”
