Guiding Thought

We claim who we are, the essence of our Self, established in and by Love. Our Self shines with the strength, beauty, and power of its essence, Love. As we open to our Self, accept our Self, and Love our Self, the Life of Unity infuses all activity and transforms our consciousness. Life as our Self renews our Joy and restores our trust in Life itself.

Reflection

Several things are coming together with today’s Guiding Thought.

  1. My “Why” for doing this Journey: Living a life worthy of the Holy Spirit
  2. Remembering and Forgetting
  3. Shiftingtransforming
  4. Moola Mantra
  5. Simplicity

I’ll try to connect the dots simply for you.

  1. The only way to live a life worthy of the Holy Spirit is to live as my Self.
  2. I have forgotten my Self. All I need to do is rememberRight–it’s not always that easy. Who am “I” after all? What is this “Self” that I have forgotten, that I am remembering?
  3. I can choose to remember. I can shift my thoughts away from those which deny my remembering, and choose thoughts that strengthen my remembering. This is my responsibilityThis is a wise use of my free-will (at least considering what I want to accomplish).
  4. The Moola Mantra has increased my understanding about the relationship between my Self and the Holy Spirit. In the Moola Mantra the Self, as I call it, is referred to as Paramatma–which means (loosely) the Self of the Soul. It is not only your highest best Self of the body, it is the highest creation of you, your lived Divine Self. I would dare say it is also known as Christ Presence. When I remember my Self/Paramatma/Christ Presence, I become a vehicle for the Holy Spirit, Divine Energy.
  5. Isn’t living in the reality of my Self the essence of simplicity?

With this in mind, the Guiding Thought comes together in a new way:

We claim who we are, the essence of our Self, established in and by Love.  (#3: This is my use of choice and free will).

Our Self shines with the strength, beauty, and power of its essence, Love. (#4: how could my Self/Paramatma/Christ Presence do anything but shine with strength, beauty, and power of Love?)

As we open to our Self, accept our Self, and Love our Self, the Life of Unity infuses all activity and transforms our consciousness. (#2: Just remember. A part of you already does. Open. Accept. Be.)

Life as our Self renews our Joy and restores our trust in Life itself. (#1: This is the life worthy of the Holy Spirit, a life of Joy and Trust in Our Self, our expression of the Divine.)

Simple.

 

The High Path is the Destination

Babaji Copyright unknown

My message is very simple. Truth, Simplicity, Love, and Service. I ask for no-thing. I am no-thing. I observe unconditionally without judgement. I am not here to convince anyone of anything,..I seek only to share my message. 

What humans seek on the Lower Path such as wealth, power, and control is of no interest to me, and should be of no interest to those on the High Path, for the things of the Lower Path will only lead to misery and despair. Misery and despair is the destination of the Lower Path. Truth, Simplicity, and Love is the destination of the High Path.

Babaji of Haidakhan

On the “High Path”, the journey and the destination are the same: Following the path of Truth, Simplicity, Love, and Service leads to Truth, Simplicity, and Love.  The means are the ends; the journey is the destination.

Contrariwise, on the Lower Path, the path is different than the destination. Wealth, power, and control lead to misery and despair. People who are immersed in their own desire or attachment for wealth, power, and control, do not see, cannot see, or ignore where it ultimately leads.

On the Lower Path, the immediate gratification of the control, wealth, and power obscures the delayed effect of misery and despair.

On the High Path, because the journey and the destination are the same, Truth, Simplicity and Love are the immediate  and the ultimate gratification.
