The Phoenix

Many changes have taken place in my life. I have experienced the highs and lows of change. When we are on the highs, we tend to become elated, and when we are on the lows, we tend to surrender. Should we not surrender to all experiences, whether high or low?

This surrendering can be difficult at times. This is where you shall gain the knowing of your inner truth. This is where you shall be able to view your own source energy in its purest form, allowing you to be peaceful and loving in all aspects of your life and being. Let this peace and love flow from within you; let the godhead that you are express itself through you. Be that vessel for all to see. Become that heavenly being that you are, without the mind-pain effect of the needs that at times overcome us all.

Through my searching, there have been many ups, and yes, there have been many downs. The more you share with yourself the spiritual wonderment, the more you will be able to share with others. There are many different spiritual paths that we choose to experience — and many of these paths, I find, are based on the justification of our personal needs at different times of our own spiritual searching. Many seekers become cluttered within their own understandings because of the paths they have chosen to follow. All they really need to do is keep their belief simple and look within — beyond their emotional need — to the centre of the heart, from whence the true self vibrates.

The heart is a highly complex organ that beats with life and expression of energies. One moment it vibrates joy; the next, sadness. Yet beyond the emotional and physical effects of the heart, there is an energy that opens to the secrets of all that spirituality is — your projections and manifestations of who you are at any time, where the essence of your enlightenment is located. This is the core, located through the heart chakra that is the centre of the main seven chakras. It is positioned between the physical and subtle bodies rotating in reverse cycles to each other. It is a common understanding in some forms of spiritual development that one should focus on raising the kundalini energy that lays dormant within the root chakra, to move up the physical body and to pass through all chakra systems to reach the crown chakra.

When one accomplishes this feat, the belief is that one shall become, in essence, enlightened, and then one shall create a resonance of spiritual oneness connected to this enlightened state. Contrary to this belief, I find many people struggle with this process. If they are not careful, they can harm themselves physically and mentally. This energy is not to be forced; it needs to be nurtured through the love of the opening of one's own heart.

People have asked me how they can receive inspired insight in a method that differs from kundalini rising? Simply love yourself, I advise them; all love is manifested from the heart and the associated chakras. Connect to the heart chakra of your own infinite divine, for this is where you shall find the peace and silence between all thoughts and emotional effects, where only love and harmony abide. This is the centre of universal sight. This is the core energy of the great "I Am." When you can go within this centre of the heart, into the core, with total surrender of all emotional needs, you will acknowledge the heavenly being that you are.

With full confidence of who you are, you shall find within you the infinite source of your "I Am," where all universal knowledge is stored and the seventh seal of the seven minds of enlightenment of your clear vision is waiting to be acknowledged. From this point, you will be able to direct your god energy to all chakras — to open the energy paths that expand from your heart without any restrictions of your physical mind-state affecting this purity. By being honest and honouring the love of yourself in humbleness with the many parts of yourself, you shall connect your clear vision and resonate with all people's infinite source of enlightened energy. Once this is obtained, the who are we of oneness will overcome you, enabling this state of bliss to activate the third eye that is positioned in the forehead area.

When you look within and not without, the core will open up inside the centre of the heart chakra, allowing all spiritual knowing to be revealed. This brings with it an awareness of the state of what are we, thus allowing the mythological bird to rise from the ashes of the death of the created effects of the mind-pain. The knowing of all that is shall overwhelm you in great awe. It brings forth the expansion of radiating energy, which will open all chakras instantly.

The secrets of what are we will be revealed. You shall remember all the greater parts of yourself. As is stated, "to enter the kingdom of heaven, one must be as a child, pure of heart, simple of mind, and have faith as a mustard seed." Do not clutter your mind with desire based on needs. Just be simple and let the love of yourself recreate you.

In many beliefs, there is a great emphasis placed on fate and karma. I understand that the heart and its associated chakras have much to do with creating this effect. I see them as a projection of one's mind-state at any given time. As you know, positive thoughts create empowerment, while negative thoughts create destructive tendencies. If your heart is pure, you shall not project fate or create karma.

I've wondered all through my life, why is it that humans have to suffer the way we do? Health, wealth, and happiness are given to us and also taken from us. Is there a separate energy out there somewhere that wants us to learn to better the development of our soul through personal pain? Is it out of our control, or do we all create this play and therefore live with the effect? If we believe this energy-separateness exists, we will give away our power of projection to a separated effect. If we understand that we control our power of projection, we will give back to ourselves the created effect just by believing in our hearts that we can receive it — in turn, co-creating our state of enlightened bliss.

The created effect is governed by your belief of the illusion of your thought. If your heart is not pure, you will project a boomerang effect; your inner self will reveal to the egotistical mind-state what it can produce. When you surrender your emotional needs to the love within the core of your essence, fate and karma shall stop producing, and you shall project love from the core within the purity of its stillness. Within this stillness, fate and karma do not exist; there is only pure peace. When you find your peace through radiating love of this stillness, you shall project only what are we — the oneness. By loving what you have projected and created in the past and surrendering it back to your own source of love, you remove its illusive effect upon you. You will be fate- and karma-free, for you will see through your own separated created illusion.

With this freedom shall come the rising of the phoenix, with the understanding of your own internal bliss and the secret of re-manifesting from your own empowerment of your god source. With this understanding of stillness shall come strength greater than any force that is known. This strength is within us all; it is the might of peace that echoes from the centre of all that has no form. It vibrates from deep within the core of far-reaching knowing, past the point of imagination or concept. It is the strength of creation, where only peace and stillness vibrate the force out into the void of expansion.

You are one with this force, vibrating from strength of stillness, where all is silent. This silence needs no voice. Past this point, you shall find all that is. This point is within your core, which opens unto the void, that which is the centre of the "I Am."

The Centre

It is not easy to reach this point, the centre of the "I Am." Many spiritual individuals have had glimpses of this centre and have also felt the stillness and peace that flows from it. Some have mastered and lived it. Many spiritual practitioners try to reach it through numerous and extreme spiritual methods. Some will succeed, and some will not. Many tend to look out to connect to a separated energy of light; the outside effect of the world that surrounds them teaches this.

Some will practice many forms of spiritual techniques, such as chanting, to feel the universal energy of the "I Am." They seek to connect by these methods. They are trying to reach out to the source of God, instead of knowing that they are already the source they seek; this centre is within us all. By feeling this strength through your own centre, you will bring forward the energy to your conscious awareness. You shall be it; how can you not? It is your essence.

I have practiced many different methods of growth and spirituality. I have sought through karate to control my mind and body — to develop the ability to switch my emotions on and off. I have participated in meditation groups and have reached out to guardian angels and spirits. I have trans-mediated spiritual wisdom from guides. I have experienced out-of-body astral travel, spiritual rescues, and much more. I have been the student, the clairvoyant, the healer, the psychic, and the teacher. I have taught in separation at times because I was reaching out to find God. Yes, it felt good to be recognized by others, to be looked up to for this and that, but it was very shallow — it was all about being accepted. This process made me confront my own ego.

I would be invited to attend a spiritual gathering to talk philosophy, and to give healing and clairvoyant messages from the beyond to would-be searchers for proof of existence of an afterlife. I did this, and I pleased many, but I did not please myself. I felt there was something missing within me. Was I looking out more than I was looking in? I did not feel whole. I was looking through my third eye and receiving from my crown chakra spiritual sight and knowledge. I was not looking through my heart into the great expanse of my own "I Am" until I received the simple truth that I was separating myself from God.

It was simple, yet it was also complex. By believing in spirit as a separated entity, I was not being whole. All I was giving was a reassurance of life after death, and though I helped the healing process of those grieving and nurtured their needs and fears regarding their loss on this emotional level, I felt uneasy in leaving the idea of separated form in their minds. I looked deeper within this idea of separated effect, and oh boy, did I open a can of worms. This took me on a path of recognition of all that I thought I already was — the ego again. It won't give up. It is a constant battle within my being. Do we humans like our ego! I did.

I know it is hard to live in the progressive mind-pain world that surrounds our being. Most people have to be the breadwinners, organizers, parents, social workers, and so forth. I know: I run my own painting business, and I am a father, husband, writer, spiritual shop owner, and mentor. It's a busy life! Yet I understand that I chose to be all of these. Of course it would be a lot simpler to be a spiritual practitioner who sits in the world of bliss somewhere away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life — to become all that you search to be without distraction — but this is an illusion. You only fool yourself.

The easy road is sometimes not the best one to take. To be in the midst of life is to understand yourself and others. You must not forget that you are no different from any other person. Yes, you may be more developed in your understanding of spiritual oneness, but still you are the same, for spiritual awareness is forever expanding. It never stops within any of us.

When you choose not to separate yourself from you own "I Am" and realize that you are the centre of all creation, you shall understand that all people worldwide are the same as you are. They may be innocent, as you were, of the fact that we are God. But one thing is for certain: their light is no different from yours.

How can God "I Am" separate from itself? Only ego can give you the false belief that you are separate. Through the understanding I now express, those spiritual entities of enlightened love are not separated from us. This energy is part of us. All our loved ones who have passed have left us a legacy — that is, their light is part of our light and the energy is one, as we that are still earthbound are one.

When I resonate clairvoyantly with the energy of others, my light joins with their light, for energy attracts energy. Their light shall inform my light of what their mind needs to know, because they separate any knowing from their mind that refuses to listen to their own inner core. When I do channelled readings, all I am is a messenger of their light. That is what I explain: we all are one and the same. My light and your light join together to share healing and sight, to know all the personal issues, whether health, wealth, or happiness. The truth to the knowing is to not separate from your centre, for within this centre you shall find not only yourself but also others.

The great expanding "I am" ascends from the heart to vibrate the stillness and bring forward the strength of the knowing of what we are. This energy of light has many names, including Christ light and soul energy. All light is light; it is what we are all made of. It does not separate because of titles. This is why we can connect to each other. We can feel people's vibrations — if they are nice or not so nice.

Why does a mother have a blessed intuition? She feels with her heart. Why can a clairvoyant give messages to seekers? Why can a healer resonate with a patient? It is light connecting to light. There are many spokes within a wheel that lead to one centre: the heart.

When you develop your inner sight from the love of the heart chakra, you shall find that you can connect to others, whether across the world from you or in the same room. I have had many shared experiences with people with whom I have had spiritual encounters. We have joined our light to see within each other. We have shared cosmic awareness in many ways. Our oneness of light has trans-mediated many spiritual levels within ourselves and the illusive outer realms that mankind has created. It is our inherited right to be supreme spiritual beings, and we have always been this. Know yourself and acknowledge yourself for what you truly are. What are we? We are a collective mass of supreme spiritual energy of enlightened form of stillness, which has no beginning and no end. We are alpha and yet omega, forever transforming. We are already enlightened.

The Illumination

"There shall come a time when all men shall walk with thee, on the earth, beautified indeed! The cleansing, seven days and three asking shall be, for one to acknowledge there heavenly be!"

Asking is the key to understanding and foreseeing what our souls truly are indeed. Those who can go deep within the void and be still will understand that the void is forever expanding and that we are the centre of this stillness. We are forever creating waves of pure enlightened energy that vibrate in multitudes of cosmic penetrating rays, shooting out into all the multi-vibrational dimensions that are joined from within us.

Where there is no veil of conscious thought to hold you in the illusion of your physical space, the tripartite spiritual being of you, "I am," is that one mass of pure energy that is forever expanding and joining with all that is and is not. Through this understanding shall come your oneness, and through this oneness shall come the ability to create and recreate whatever you wish to be. All others who are like you shall also be vibrating to co-create in forming this mass awareness of a unification of enlightened beings, knowing how to just be in stillness without needs. The illumination is the mass light of strength that shall guide all through the barriers of the illusions we have created yet no longer need.

This is why the three asking within the seven days of cleansing must be, so you can prepare to accept your own heavenly being. There is no need for rebirth in the physical form to transcend the veil to the inner spiritual form that is vibrating from within our core, where death and sickness are no more, where all is heavenly awe. Do you dare to ask the question, "Am I ready to acknowledge my true self, to leave all that I thought I was in my primitive physical state to become who I truly am?"

There have been throughout history — and are to this day — many controlling factions that disguise their true purpose, which is to cover up the illumination of man's true self. They have sought to control mankind by way of manifested thought patterns that cloud our minds and take away the freedom of our spiritual understanding of our inherited rights. These organisations have many faces and masks, and they have infiltrated our own understanding and reasoning. Since the day we were born, we have been misguided about our own worth by everything from our governments and our religious beliefs to our schooling and our working life. We have allowed ourselves to be violated to our core by the brainwashing and conditioning of this controlling mass and organised influx of false beliefs. It is just another form of mass control and curbing of our spiritual intellect. When you keep mankind in ignorance and feed humans what they desire, you can control the masses. Let not the blind lead the blind!
