Day 169 of 400 "Expressing Spirit"

How are you expressing spirit in your life today? Or maybe even everyday, but lets start with just today.

On my way in this morning there was a momma cat crossing the road, which I didn't know she was a momma cat until I saw her kittens along the side of the road. Each happy to be playing and enjoying their day. Then it made me realize how many times people just decide to take the lives of these little beings simply because they were in their way. I've heard it explained to me this way, "You don't ever try to get out of their way because it could cause you to wreck." I took on this idea but it still never made me feel good when a life ended because I just ran over it just because it was "in my way". It's kind of like the same idea that people say it's okay to kill off a particular animal because the population has grown. Has it really? Or is it really that we have become more aware of the animal because we have now invaded into Its space? Is this not what was occurring with the Jews? They had become a race of people that were too many. They covered too much territory.

As hard as this idea may be to swallow; and yes I know we never like to talk about those days, but how do we begin the healing process if we are unwilling to allow it to be a gift to us rather than a shadow always lurking behind us.

We need to begin to understand that God is in everything created and uncreated. And the ability to express this is by first seeing the God that is your master. If the God that lives within you believes in sin, judgement, greed, lack and death then you have just allowed Ego to become your god. The Lower Mind! And these very things will be reflected back to you in your world. You will be caught in a trap of illusions so deep that you will absolutely feel that what you are doing and saying to harm another is really for their benefit.

But if you know that God is love, compassionate, forgiving, abundant and giving then you are allowing Spirit/God to BE your God. The Higher Mind! Then you will be experiencing these attributes and seeing this reflected in your world. Your internal state can become your eternal state. Now you will see that it benefits everyone to bring forth compassion. And when you are compassionate you don't even need to worry about acceptance because it just is.

And how do we begin to express God?

Within our Voice, which cannot lie. I have noticed with my clients, when asking them how they feel today, immediately they say, "great?" or "fine?", why the question mark? Are they asking me if they feel happy, great, fine, or this is my favorite, fineeeeeeee or any other? Of course they are because they really don't know how they feel or to express what is going on inside of them because they are so used to having someone tell them how they feel, how to act, how to do, or how to think they just fumble when asked this question. They are also seeking approval. They think that if they give you the "right" answer that they will be able to continue not being honest with themselves and everything will be okay.

There is another thing that occurs though when you ask someone how are you doing? It brings them to their own awareness. It brings them back into the self but they are confused of who or what this self is. They are on automatic pilot which brings them to not being able to be present with God. Many of you would disagree with this, but try it for yourself and you will see what I mean. Just ask anyone how they are doing today and you will see if they are true to their spirit or confused about this. If they respond to you with a question or a fineeeee in their voice then things are not aligned. They don't know what the AGENDA is and they are searching you to give them guidance.

So with all of this said, if someone is unwilling to match what they say with the tone they say it in they are asking you to help them. We don't have to expose their lie for what it is but rather allow them gently back into the moment of awareness so they know which God they are following. The love God will always guide us into the Higher Mind Attributes which are listed in the book. The ego god will always guide us into the Lower Mind Attributes. Once we are better able to stay within the Higher Mind we are able to see the stress and witness life without being swallowed up by it.

When we see the animals on the planet and see them as a part of God rather than something to own, kill or destroy simply because we "believe" we have been given the right then we can truly experience God's creation to the fullest.

Belief Statement: I just don't get why people think it's okay to kill something just because it's in their way and this makes me angry. Who are they to take the life of another or to say when things need to die just to make their own life more comfortable? I gain frustration while losing peace.

Spirit Statement: I appreciate life as my way to experience joy. I give life to everything by giving life comfort, calm and peace.

So how do we give life comfort, calm, peace and joy? By being it within ourselves. Our inner world is reflected in our outer world, so if we want more joy we be joy, if we want more peace, we be more peace. This doesn't mean that we stop interacting with our world it just means we stop being reactive to our world.

Enjoy!
