Considering The Choices That We Make
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2016 10:04 am
We don’t like ultimatums or to be told what to do. To the sensitive soul these things are offensive and pushy. Yet on the Path Divine we are all taught about the differences between the way of Divine Love and the way of the natural love. Two distinct paths leading to spiritual purity and with one comes something more; a merging or at-one-ment with God. We’ve been told in so many words that it is not possible to follow both together for any length of time without creating some inner conflict. The choice must be made to adhere to one way or another.
Our angelic teachers never push us to delineate between these two paths. They are too wise, loving and tolerant to do so but ‘riding two rails’ as I call it does have consequences. Much of the fallout from holding two distinctly different ideas in our minds comes as the law of attraction works directly upon us. Many of us here are well aware of spirit influence. Even if we are not, we are daily attracting a variety of influences and thoughts to us as we go about our business. Spirits are involved in every part of our lives and to some degree our thoughts. Some bring a welcome benefit to us in the form of protection, inspiration and positive energies of all sorts. They may divert us from harm, give us great ideas and encourage us in prayer. I like to think that these are our angelic friends but I’m not clear on whether they are all angelic, maybe some or most are angels in training. I’m sure that all are upon the Divine Path and their intentions are to assist us in staying on that path. They are the result of God’s blessings responding to our soul’s intentions to receive the Love. A great blessing indeed.
We also attract negative or not very evolved spirits to us if we indulge in emotionally reactive and/or negative thinking. Our angelic helpers can protect us from negative influences to a degree but if we are intent and intense with our expressions both mental and emotional then they cannot hold back the tide of the energetic response. The law of attraction plays its part and often we are swept away by these experiences. They bring us out of sync with God and we suffer a kind of spiritual hang over as these dark energies reverberate within. Yet, God pulls us back as we struggle out of our condition. His Love never ceasing or withheld. We are ever His children and under His care.
If we continually go to that dark place, there cannot be a clear way through the dark energies which are continually reinforced. I’m sure that everyone reading this can think of a time in their lives where all was black and full of fear, futility, depression, resentment and a sense of failure in life. Very few escape this lesson nor would they want to return to that pit of hopelessness. I think that this is why many of us cling to our faith and prayers, because of what can potentially come from an unguided and spiritually undisciplined life. The world can suck us into that whirlwind all too easily and many of those who are unconscious are there now. Very dark spirits feed on such soul deprivation and mental confusion as those who have no love or feel no love are caught in the loop of self recrimination and spiritual poverty.
Our fears also play a part in attracting negativity. The fear response draws those spirits who feed upon fear and find an opening into our spirit and our thoughts that fear/vulnerability brings. Negativity is all too eager to find ways of reinforcing itself and fear is a powerful catalyst which draws greater negativity. The magic which comes from nurturing love within is the dissolution of many of our fears. With love, both natural and Divine, fear is dissolved in time replaced by a sense of security and confidence.
Getting back to my original comments regarding carrying the beliefs of two paths, this too brings to us divergent influences. Most often the beliefs of our minds contradict the yearnings and understandings of our souls. Our minds are compelled to make sense of what is often an inherently mystical experience while praying for Divine Love. Something happens which in part is outside of the material reality in which we all live. For those who are deeply curious and intent on finding the answers regarding our spiritual lives, much research and reading accompanies us in our search. There are vastly more publications and teachings about the ways in which we can purify ourselves and develop our natural love than there are publications about receiving the Divine Love. Hence there are billions of people who have a multitude of natural love beliefs and a miniscule number who strive upon the Divine Path.
Most of us begin our journey with some knowledge about natural love beliefs, be they religious, spiritual or a combination of the two. Its rare that the seeker starts with the Divine Love teachings.Those initial beliefs get stuck in our minds and are not easy to release. Our minds are reluctant to let go of what appears to be a logical explanation of things thus causing ambivalence at best and in time, inner conflict. It is this struggle between the beliefs of the mind and the experiences and awakenings of the soul, a door opens allowing for natural love influences to make a strong rapport. Our minds also are susceptible to these influences because as the soul awakens and the mind of the soul begins to have some influence on our consciousness, the mind fights back with long held erroneous beliefs. This can make us think that we are going a little crazy as our insights and glimpses into the Divine shake us up. I’ve heard many say things like ‘I don’t know if I’m just imagining things but…’ or ‘if I told anyone about this, they would think that I’m crazy’. Yes, many who are firmly in their minds and follow the natural path would have judgements about your sanity or lack of it . When your own mind does the same, you can bet that there are a number of spirits reinforcing this attitude as they assert their influence to get you back on track towards the natural path.
You can see how being vigilant and disciplined in your thinking is a very important part of the process of switching over to this path. I’ve heard some speak of being open minded and encourage others to integrate the beliefs of other teachings into the divine Love teachings. I’ve been accused of closed mindedness for not going along with this. I think that I have clearly stated why I am not into mixing and matching at this time. My journey upon the Divine Path is still pretty tender and new even though I’ve pursued it for several decades. My mind is too susceptible to outside influences to make such an integration possible. As a medium who insists on channeling Celestial spirits, I have a discipline and practice that I believe I need to follow in order to have a sort of quality assurance. Some believe that this is too rigid, others appreciate the consistency that it brings in the messages delivered. It’s a choice that I have made and I’m not suggesting that I only have Celestial spirits around me at all times. No my friends, I don’t think that this is so easily achieved. I believe that in times of prayer, whether alone or in circles of light, that they are certainly around. Sometimes, however, other influences are brought into the circle by those who are indeed riding two rails. This makes it hard for me but I can’t control the intentions of anyone but me so I acquiesce to what is happening and pray like hell for the cloak of protection from all spirits and influences that are not celestial . My problem is a little unique to most as being a medium has its own sets of responsibilities and consequences. Some mediums think its ok to channel whatever spirit wants to come through. Others believe that only Jesus speaks through them. Its definitely a mixed bag out there and I’m just another who is on the menu.
Being realistic about the dynamics involved in spirit influence is a necessary component to my job as a medium as it is to anyone opening up to a spiritual life. My point is that those of you who see through the glass darkly and are not too aware of the influences around you should take heed of your thoughts and intentions. They are powerful determinants as to what spirit influences you are subject to. This has been demonstrated to me over and over again. I’ve entertained some pretty contrary thoughts until I realized that they are not my own but that of another influencing me . The Orthodox Christians call this the devil’s influence but we all know that that guy does not exist but evil exists in many forms. We all have to be vigilant regarding evil thoughts but more importantly, we all have to be vigilant regarding our spiritual thoughts as the more we entertain those distinctly natural path concepts which can indeed have its truth, the more we attract that influence. Call it closed minded if you like but everything has its consequence. Riding both rails will often comfort the material mind as we nurture our soul awareness’s and invariably we all do this as we begin the process. In time, however, there comes a parting of the ways.
A choice must be made and a dedication given. When this truly happens, the real adventure begins. God pours His blessings upon those who are true. This happened at Pentecost as the disciples of Jesus opened wide to the Love. I think at that moment they became true Christians and for all of us I think that that is our goal. Rather than entertaining many beliefs derived from all kinds of sources, we need to find the truth within our souls. God promises us full revelations of the truth as our souls grow in the Love. It takes a strong faith in the process in order to accept this offer. Our minds rebel as our soul’s revel in this baptism of Love. I’m for putting my eggs in this basket. I want to encourage all of you reading this to do the same. Be true to this simple path and truth and allow other things to fall away. This clears the way, as it did for those at Pentecost, to be fully in the Love. If you must read, then read the teachings of the angels. Prayer is our teacher and the source of our awakening. I would encourage you all to direct your energies there. It will pay off in time.
The world needs less words and more prayer. Of course what a hypocrite I am in this statement . I’m speaking to myself here too ! May God bless all of our efforts. With much love to all my Divine Love friends. I know that we are all making our own efforts upon our unique paths towards at-one-ment to God. May they be swift and sure. God bless……
