6/2012 - SPIRITUAL GUIDANCE GATHERING: 20th Awareness

We are working together on the 20th Awareness

We are being initiated into the priesthood

Have I given up all violence? Passive and aggressive?

We taught the feminine first (The Mystery)

Our world is made of masculine energy and it is strong and overpowering

Matter is forever changing, Spirit is what enlightens the change

Dogma vs. Eternal Discipline

The number one thing we walk in is Freedom

If I have an obsession with a person, place, or thing... then I am not walking in freedom and no longer is that thing that I am obsessed with

We must allow for freedom

Freedom cannot occur if I do not live authentically b/c when I make a decision and create a boundary outside of my authenticity, I am creating a dogma.

Becoming dogmatic about what you think is right... Crusades and religious wars were based in a sense of right. When there is the right way without each individual exploring authenticity, then it's dogma.

Going into military without their personal quality and knowing who they are, they then enter a system that tells that kid what to think. These kids want to do the right things. We hand these kids machine guns... and the kids feel like they have the right to take away another's life because they are right.

Dogma: there had to be control... to learn an eternal discipline.

Our personal discipline is the experience of the quality of our life as it is reflected to our Source.

My authentic walk with my Source is the dream that creates the world. Our eternal discipline is our dream... it is that intimate dance we have with our Source. And it requires our freedom. In acquiring our freedom, we can only offer freedom. We cannot create dogma.

Authentic relationship through my qualities with my eternal Source. It can reflect to me what it isn't... what the boundary or limitations are with my Source. My reflection outside shows me what my boundary is to be able to learn... where I am stuck in my relationship with my Source, where trust lives.

If my eternal discipline has a 'I should do this' then it will create a 'you should do this'

We can kill someone in many ways... killing their freewill is killing their spirit

Our life is the teacher for those around us... as I teach... as I live my life... as someone notices something about me. We can teach through violence or nonviolence.

If I take away the joy of another, I am not in humility.

Dogma: believe what I believe or you're out; do it this way or else

Rule of life

Each section is a way of tracking our progress

If you are going to run up the path, this is how we offer you guidance as a runner. Sympathy for student will blow up what we've grown. We walk a path... don't defend it

Is asking people to light a candle a form of dogma?

You are creating a single moment of time for yourself, a space for spirit to move through you and create revelation

When you drive down the road you can connect to Source, but my job to measure your path by your rule of life. I can measure your progress in your spiritual development. If you want to do more outside of this, go for it.

Let me be a guide from where I know the road, not from the Himalayas. These are the steps I take so I can guide them. Maybe you'll teach me about climbing trees... I'll teach you about the light... light it and tell me how it feels. I can tell when you are lighting your candle.

We are teaching an order of the universe..... an east, south, west, north. I can't teach them west if they don't know their center. Candle teaches sitting and quiet.

It's a fine line of 'this is the path I walk' to 'this is the only way I can work with you'... where's creativity, free will. What if someone discovers that watching the sunrise really works for them. You said it is about raising the light within... JiMi: discipline. They are looking for something that they can't find their own... if they could watch the sunrise they would not be coming to me. They might have their own spiritual path.

You are giving them food, something to carry their life. There will be a day that the person can't find their God and can't find their way out of doubt... and they will light that candle and get a connection. And you as a guide as a guide need to teach them to get there... they have the power within themselves to get there.

First point of empowerment for people... giving people the freedom to create their own space... gives people freedom

"Confront dogma and any structure that says we have to do it this way or else (Willow)"

When surrendered to following a path of organization, I was able to collect my thoughts and feelings and sort out myself... freedom to paint. Rule will take me to freedom of myself. Rule gives me access to council. Otherwise we are in rebellion to self (JiMi).

People want stability on this earth plane and a reason for loving.

We walk A Beauty Way, not the Beauty Way. Our rule of life is a way to walk a beauty way for peaceful ease

This is a discipline that gives ownership of our own life

A way to measure ourselves and to be inwardly disciplined

Emotional sobriety comes from inwardly

It's not my responsibility to have someone light their candle. "Try it one day and see what happens." Lighting candle gives you focus.

Discipline: drinking water, eating breakfast, wiping butt, brushing teeth, driving on right hand side of the road

Going to church can be dogma or joyful discipline. JiMi goes to church everyday, practices a relationship with Source, in communion with others doing a prayer. Church is a quiet, holy space to unfold; most priests are not spiritual guides, they are not disciplined... they don't teach spiritual guidance in seminary... they are great teachers. Spiritual guidance comes from orders like Fransiscans, people who practice a discipline. All Essene's practice a rule of life.

When does discipline become rigidity and not joyful fluidity? E.g. sleeping over Lala's... create that space for myself, 30 minutes in the am to practice my spiritual life. You are putting something on them that is not theirs. Take responsibility and sleep over.

If your rule of life is the chain around your neck, you are not practicing it... (fear)

Your rule is your freedom, it's a vehicle for you

Danger: give my power away and walk away from my personal responsibility to myself

Evening candle... in the candle... creates an end to the day. Surrender something in myself.

Journal to get to your emotions... gives meaning to the moments of our life

We are co-creating a new world form. An authentic form. Currently, all systems in our world are made of the same thing... the qualities of Fourth World.

Empathetic compassion will perpetuate love through a new growth within ourselves. In empathy, ???something is gained (and lost?)... it's evolution. Sympathy... through loss of someone we care about. We must be able to connect to the love and perpetuate love.

This is why people crash b/c their inner self--authentic self--inspired soul self-- has a light of truth about what is love and when our inner cellular truth comes in conflict with life, we shut down. We cannot betray our authenticity of what love is... and so we become broken. We become broken in different ways... physical body stops working because we don't feel safe. We question whether our world can handle our inner self.

Our physical body is the 8 aspects. Our outer world structures are a reflection of where we are in ourselves. Earth is a reflection of the human being in the 8 aspects and our culture/society's 8 aspects.

If home life is falling apart... then ask, "What is my relationship with feeling at home with Source. Partnership problems: "Do I have a relationship/partnership with Source?" Family problems... "Is Source my family?” Vehicle problems: "Is Source the vehicle that supports my life?"
