ON MORALITY
In a universe that constantly seeks the creative state of balance, balance is the natural, right, and moral dynamic because it allows for the expression of all possibilities. The force of the opposites balances each other, thereby preventing the imprisoning aspect of extremes; nothing is suppressed, but at the same time, no one position or viewpoint dominates. This fosters diverse creative expression, continual growth, and expansion, which is the ultimate goal of life. Where there is fear of the opposite, this natural state of balance is denied because fear demands control and the maintenance of rigid, extreme positions. All such positions seek to freeze the natural, moral dynamic of diverse expression and thereby put a halt to growth and expansion. Rigid, extreme positions are an attempt to suppress the natural balancing nature of the universe and are, therefore, immoral.
ON TRUTH
In the short run, it is easy to suppress the truth by labeling it offensive, unkind, judgmental, or even untrue, but at some point, people’s desire to be free and their full understanding that only the truth can free them will win out. So when society is ready, the truth always surfaces, is embraced, and becomes the catalyst for change, the champion of freedom.
ON COSMIC RECORDS
The substance of the soul is so refined, so malleable, so impressionable that every thought, spoken word, intention, action, non-action, and ramification of one’s life is imprinted into it. Nothing is missed, nothing is lost, and every detail of one’s life is available for examination and review. This record is so complete and detailed that it can be shown from every perspective. This substance is virtually an inner spiritual recording devise, undetectable by our limited science; when someone passes from the earth plane into the spirit world, their soul recorded is reviewed. There are no arguments, no nationalizations, no denials. The truth is in full view and cannot be overlooked. All connections to every aspect of one’s life are examined without judgment. In this way, it is possible for one to see the naked reality of their spiritual development. The lessons learned, the lessons not learned or partially learned, are evident, and this knowledge is utilized in planning future incarnations.
ON WORLD SUBSTANCE
Just as there is a soul substance that contains a record of each individual’s life, there is also a world substance that contains the collective record of all world events. This world substance is made of the same spiritual material that makes up the personal soul substance. Therefore, it is infinitely refined, impressionable, and malleable and is capable of capturing every event, past, present, and future. This world substance does not only show the simple event itself, but it fully illustrates every motive, secret or otherwise, that shaped the event from start to finish. Again, every intention, action, and ramification is present in this record; all that has happened or will happen on earth is recorded in this world substance. Nothing can be lost, and nothing can be distorted; it is an exact record of the truth. This world substance, just like the personal soul substance, is completely reviewable in the spirit world.
ON SUCCESSFUL RELATING
The greatest satisfaction in a relationship lies in the creation of casting intimacy. Intimacy is a multi-dimensional dynamic comprised of physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual sharing. All of these modes of sharing depend on each other for their level of fulfillment. For example, physical sharing is enhanced by the development of the emotional, mental, and spiritual aspects of the relationship. All these parts of intimacy work together to create the greater whole. Intimacy evolves in a relationship where both partners are participating and growing in all of the aforementioned areas of relating.
ON CHANNELING
Anyone can tap into the infinite ocean of knowledge, creativity, possibilities and awareness that is the universe, but only in the areas of the psyche where complete trust and harmony are present. For instance, an artist whose inner state is open, without judgment or criticism, to all possibilities in the art of expression with watercolors will be able to channel new and unique techniques and manifestations in that medium. These new expressions can only be limited by the artist’s own level of resistance to expansion and personal growth. If, at any time, the artist clings to one mode of expression or identity, the channel to all that is will be blocked by the artist’s own resistance to change.
ON CHILDREN
Society must be careful not to take too lightly the current emphasis on instant gratification. The idea of getting what you want right away, with little or no cost to you, not only fuels the insistence of immaturity. It also encourages irresponsibility.
ON HIGHER CONSCIOUSNESS
Higher consciousness is the constant, ever-changing awareness of our psychological truth. It is an awareness not only of positive, conscious-intent, but also of negative, destructive intent that may lie in the unconscious. The spiritual person understands that they must be aware of unconscious attitudes that prevent positive manifesting. They know that in order to create a beautiful, fulfilling life, the fears that lie in the unconscious must be brought to the surface, looked at in the light of reason, worked through, and dissolved. The more this process is done, the more conscious intent comes to unity. Once unity is achieved, it is possible to manifest exactly what one wants in their life.
