...so when you have a feeling of unfulfillment, what it means is your life caused you to ask for something that for some reason you’re not letting yourself go to and the majority of the time that you’re not allowing yourself to go to it is because somebody has trained that out of you. You’re natural impulse is always to follow your bliss and when you’re little you do that until somebody says to you, “it’s inappropriate for you to be pleasing yourself all the time”.
And in very short order you learn, because they’re bigger than you are, that sometimes it goes better for you initially if you please them because most of them are still trying to control the conditions and they convince you, “when you do that, I feel bad and when you do that I feel good so you should do what makes me feel better”. Which works out alright for you when there’s just one of them but get two of them plugged in and trying to give you guidance, it makes you a little crazy or more. It seems that the only way a little tyke can grow up and feel any reasonable happiness is if his family can get him into a culture where everybody thinks pretty much the same so he doesn’t have these split messages going on.
And do you know that’s what so many societies are doing. They want to put their children in special and they want to keep their children from being exposed to this and they want to cloister them, they want to put them into a dark cave where they cannot be exposed to things that might cause them some concern or some confusion. And what we’re wanting you to do is to get out into the light and to activate your own guidance system so that you’re not afraid but instead you’re confident that under any and all conditions, you can tell which direction to go.
Because the call of source, once you begin to listen to it, is an undeniable call. You’ll get so wise that you’ll know that source always calls you toward kind words never critical words. You’ll get so sensitive to the call of source that when you’re hating someone, for their color, for their religion, for their whatever, you’ll get so sensitive to the call of source that you’ll know, “I am violating the very premise from which I was born and to that which I have become. Hatred does not become me, you’ll discover. When you find fault with yourself, you’ll come to know, “that’s me choosing to think about myself in a way that source never does and I’m splitting my energy. When you hate someone else, you’ll realize, “I’m finding a thought that source would never find and I’m splitting my energy”.
When you drop bombs in the name of God no matter which side of the battle you’re on, we promise you, you’re energy is split. You never ever ever do anything like that from your place of alignment with source, it’s always from your place of disconnection, from your place of fear, from your place of not knowing about the stability of your life experience. When you’re tuned in, tapped in, turned on, and in alignment with that which is source, everything that comes from you feels good as it comes forth from you.
And so in time, with a little bit of practice...worse, better...worse, better...worse, better...you’ll get so in sync with the natural rhythm of who you are that you will be able to look at something that is abhorrent in nature, maybe the behavior of your government or someone else's, maybe the behavior of someone in your community, maybe the behavior of someone in your family or in your relationship, and you will be so accustomed to be in alignment with source that you can see them in their behavior, in their condition that is abhorrent and you will still be able to see them through the eyes of love because you’ve discovered what unconditional love really is. Unconditional love is training myself into the rhythm of who I am rather than responding to the conditions. Unconditional love is tending to my vibration first and then experiencing what law of attraction yields to me as a result of that rather than looking out into an environment and attempting the impossible which is to control conditions. You can’t control your children, have you noticed? And when you try, they don’t like you and you like you either.
When you understand that they’ve got guidance within them and when you let your dominant attempt be to live your life by example, which is to get in the flow with that which you are and be in alignment with that which you are as much as you can. When you set that example for your children, you teach them self-sufficiency. You teach them the only place that they were ever really find freedom and empowerment, you teach them that freedom and empowerment comes from personal alignment and then they can go out into the world without hating and without altering conditions and they can live happily ever after, going with the stream, living out the legacy that they set forth even before they were born into this body and that they’ve added to every waking moment since.
You are source energy in physical bodies and life is supposed to be good for you and if it isn’t, it is your doing, because everything that you’re living and everything that you’re feeling is about only two factors, how fast your stream is flowing and which way you’re pointed in it and you’ve got control of both. Your life caused you to make your stream go the speed that it is going, the direction or choices that you’re making are what are responsible for the way the stream is carrying you or beating you up and now you know that.
You will never again feel negative emotion and not know the simple truth that it tells you is that you are bucking the current of who you’ve become. You are defying something that you have already become and you just can’t do that and feel good. You gotta turn and go with the flow.
You’re getting the theme of this gathering...the art of allowing, the art of allowing myself to go in the direction of that which I truly am.
