"THE TIME HAS COME," THE WALRUS SAID, "TO TALK OF MANY THINGS..."

If you are the type who is quite happy to just drift through Life, accepting willy-nilly whatever may drift ashore, then… bless you, this article is not for you. (nor should you let anyone distract you from your own choices)…If you’re like me, one who never stops asking questions (and upsets every preacher I’ve come across), or who is frankly disappointed with the sheep-like mentality of Common Man, or the simplistic answers offered by Politicians or those who clearly profit from public manipulation… then I’ve a few things I’d like to share with you.

Since my earliest years I’ve been fascinated by the concept of Self-Empowerment, by the idea ofSelf-Revelation and the question: “Why do most people find it all so difficult?!” Well, in fact it is not so ‘difficult’… but you must be ready for it – sounds simple, it isn’t!

First you must get to the point where you begin to ‘question everything’… hang on, don’t get mad! Let me explain – I’m not advocating that we automatically reject everything… rather that we question IF we’ve been given ‘The Whole Truth’… (and yes, my cynical self would add–question the Source of such ‘Truth’!)

Once you get there, then YOU have to start your own search – for there are many ‘truths’ out there, and YOU must find The One which belongs to you… and now accept the next step (which upsets most people). “There is no such thing as an Ultimate Truth”, everything is continually growing and evolving… and so are you! Thus, whatever you believe at any point is YOUR ‘Truth’, but if you are truly committed to your own growth, then so must this ‘Truth’ grow and change as you do…

So, what to do… what to do with you…
O.K., don’t give up yet… the Spiritual Path offers some great guidelines (which we can all embrace, no matter our Lineage).

• Stop being so reactive… emotions are great when you’re playing and relaxing… not so much when you’re trying to figure things out.
• Don’t be fooled by your Beliefs… for they’re simple a reflection of those who ‘taught’ you – often for their own benefit… or, at least, limited by their own search for Knowledge (which isn’t where you are).
• Create a ‘direct link’ between your Self and Spirit… hold on, there is a prior step to this…
  3-a. Get rid of all your Negative Experiences… your pains/hurts/traumas create a Lower Resonance within yourself, which distorts any/all Communication with Spirit.
• Finally, create the most joyful, rewarding, loving Life you can possible imagine… but don’t stop there…

Which brings me to this month’s classes – we are dedicating this month (in keeping with its Royal Designation**look up its original meaning if you don’t believe me) to the correct Expansion of our Consciousness… to our Liberation from our Wounded Identity and Negative Life’s Experiences… to creating a place for Spirit… and demonstrating our true Radiant Self.

So… are you ready for this? (and yes, you can still have all the ice cream you want – after all, Spirit created everything… so, bless it and enjoy!!)
