SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 216

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS

+ What is indispensable is for us to recognize that this world is not self-evident. The visible is nothing more than a path to revealing the invisible — light serving to disclose the hidden light of light itself.

 -- Rabbi Nilton Bonder in Yiddishe Kop

+ I always remember I have everything I need to enjoy my here and now unless I am letting my consciousness be dominated by demands and expectations based on the dead past or imagined future.

-- Kenneth Keyes

This is the fourth of his 12 Pathways to Higher Consciousness

+ We often experience life as a mystery.  Truth has a way of hiding.  This is true because we have a lot to learn.  We need to keep detecting the meaning of life and our purpose in it.  I don’t think I would want it any other way.  Let our lives unfold in the here and now without any “expectations based on the dead past or imagined future.”  So, let’s embrace the mystery of life as a gift as we continue to explore these heavenly realms.  They are not hidden forever.  We can and will find more and more truth, meaning and purpose.

+ Spirituality & Practice offers an abundance of resources on the practice of Mystery. Also, S&P offers a 12s Gallery on Mystery.

+ Spirituality & Practice emphasizes the practices of Love & Compassion:

·         The Practice of Love | The 12s Gallery on Love

·         The Practice of Compassion | The 12s Gallery on Compassion

+ I would love it if you offered a guest post on this practice or any practice.  And, I have work to do on my Heavenliness page.  Maybe you can help.  Send an email with the subject “Heavenliness” or “Guest Post” to John@abundancetrek.com.

SPIRITUAL EXPLORATIONS – 203

WE ARE EXPLORING THE PRACTICE OF HEAVENLINESS

+ Have you been to the Burning Bush?  It’s not just for Moses you know.  OK, it’s a metaphor but it’s a good one.  We can encounter God in the same way Moses did at the Burning Bush.  And we can hear God speak to us and say I AM.  We can become one with the I AM.  This is a mystical experience meant for all of us.  The importance of this declaration of Oneness, simply saying I AM, becomes clear as we realize that we can find it in all of the wisdom traditions of the planet.

Peter Russell is one of my favorite spiritual guides. He is leading the way for those of us who want these experiences, these wonderful, fantastic experiences in the heavenly realms.  I invite you to be inspired by The Church of I AM and so much more wisdom and guidance offered by Peter Russell.

 I invite you to write your own reflections on the meaning and purpose of saying I AM.  You can write  sentences which begin with I AM such as I AM creating peace and justice or I AM making all things new.  The possibilities are endless or I AM the Light of the World.  You are you know.
