STEP EIGHT-ABSORB YOURSELF IN SPIRITUAL EARTHLY PRACTICES
8 STEPS OF SPIRITUAL AND EARTHLY RICHES Course
Yeah, we made it to the 8th step! My plan is to go deeper to continue the benefits and momentum. Persistence means to keep on keeping on with relentless enthusiasm because we are truly on a mission of God/Source for the benefit of all when we endeavor for the welfare and happiness of others, we are the ones who benefit the most.
If you fall down, get up, dust yourself off, assess your situation, correct any mistakes, remember your purpose and mission, and continue on with your heart full of love, appreciation, and gratitude. With renewed eagerness and willingness to attain your heart’s desires, we continue our treasure hunt for the complete satisfaction and fulfillment of our soul/self that can only happen when each one of us reconnects to our Source, the reservoir of sweetness, nourishment, and love, and remembers our authentic nature as eternity and life.
Because everyone has a mind and they are all working 24/7, whatever you intend to do and attain, best to keep silent not to agitate the waters of envy in the fear and guilt-based minds of word-controlled divine beings who have forgotten who they are. This is where we need to be the strongest in our spiritual studies and practices so that we are able to accomplish our objectives and not allow the words, attitudes, and behavior of others to knock us off our path. My first book, “What You Think of Me is None of My Business” is a good one to give as a gift to help a friend.
“A sober person, even when harassed by other living beings, should understand that his aggressors are acting helplessly under the control of their own karma, and thus he should never be distracted from progress on his own path. This rule I have learned from the earth.” Srimad Bhagavatam 11.7.37
We need to know how this world works, about the reincarnation process, and what is actually possible for each of us as God-particles to attain now, eternally, and how? This knowledge comes to us from the lifetime research, studies, experiences, and examples of our teachers, gurus, and mentors, from scriptures of the various religions, artifacts, writings, art, music, customs, fables, geology, legends, and our own realizations and revelations, as pearls of wisdom we can apply and receive the ever-increasing inconceivable benefits of traveling the mystic path of the great and realized souls before us, leaving a trail for us to follow. I was able to study from, assist, and contribute to my teacher while living in India for four years. Learn from a master whose students have become masters to be a master, whatever the talent, skill, or teaching. The disciplic succession of teacher to student of a particular study, etc.
“Giving up the eternal Lord, situated within me, who accepts love and gives wealth, foolishly I serve insignificant men who give dissatisfaction, sorrow, fear, and worry, lamentation and illusion.” Srimad Bhagavatam 11.8.31
The more you focus on your spiritual studies and practices, the stronger your faith, realizations, and improvement all around, and the more you are preparing for the moment when your conscious awareness detaches from the physical body. When all is said and done, you are going to drop this physical body and you want to be prepared for this most important rite of passage. Learn as much as you can from the research of others and dump the tunnel and light story trap for that is Hollywood/illusion, predictive programming, hypnotic trance to control you, a God-particle.
“Know that the soul which pervades the body is indestructible. No one can destroy that which is indestructible.” Bhagavad gita 2.17
Nothing is more important and urgent than developing one’s personal relationship with one’s Source/SuperSoul and also with Mother Earth whose very elements make up the physical body and natural biological appearing world around us. The more we can, if possible, be outside in nature, walking barefoot, grounded with soles on the earth receiving earth energy, listening in the quiet, praying, and sensing, the more we are strengthened and nourished by Divine MotherFather energies dancing in love through us. Water dances!
In order to participate in the dance of love with our Beloved within and everywhere, we need to be harmonious with the sweetness of the Divine will within one’s and actions. Absorbing ourselves in our spiritual studies and practices requires purification, cleansing and casting off mental, emotional, and physical body pollutants that obscure our Spiritual perception and rob our health and vitality and extrasensory awareness.
Your body is the temple of the living God/SuperSoul Who is with each one of us in the area of the heart. The curtain covering and perverting our perception and awareness is made of veils, webs of concepts and multitudes of thought forms, curses, and trances that we have been tricked, drugged, forced into believing is who we are and what is possible. Nothing is further from the Truth. The Absolute Truth is Source and you and I as Source particles.
Although, “Thou shalt not kill,” is one of the 10 commandments for the messianic religions, the abuse and slaughter and eating of animals, mammals, bird and human bodied spirit-souls is the #one business and purpose of this world. Blood is the main item of interest because of it’s capabilities, qualities, and what it produces. Plus, different blood lines are going to have same and also different qualities, capabilities, and effects in bodies and also personalities because of the influence of the body’s genetics, DNA, thought-forms believed as Absolute Truth; the word is made flesh. This is a mental reality; emotionalized words controlling spirit-souls to conjure up virtual realities that run on blood as earth is run on oil.
“There are two types of created beings (temporary physical human appearing bodies) in this world—the divine and the demonic.” Bhagavad-gita 16.6
Whatever we humans are doing or forcing others to do to animals and humans for any reason will be done to the perpetrators, as their karma, even if person is not personally abusing the precious animal or human but is buying the products made from cruelty to humans or animals. How can there be peace, joy, and love abounding in the world when those around you are abusive to and/or eating animal and/or human bodies? Compassion is divine.
The Bhagavad gita serves to teach us that we are not these physical bodies that are born and die, rather each of us is an eternal divine spirit-soul with godlike qualities, abilities, and powers in minute quantity. We are the pleasure of our Source and Beloved and our Pleasure is in serving our Supreme Beloved and Best Friend and endeavoring for the good fortune, well being of all divine beings/us/jivas. If you agree with any of this, say I do within your heart. Agreement creates reality, what could happen if more God-particles agreed with us? Better yet, let us apply all we agree with and find out what happens. Hugs, Terry
