Mount Shasta, Tokyo and Riviera: A reunion with our friend Ayako

Our friend Ayako has arrived from Tokyo and is spending a few days with us. This is very delightful and continues to emphasize how small the world is. Everything is possible!

Connecting the dots

Negativity does not recognize it self and therefore continues its course unchecked. Only with the arising of a stream of self-reflective witnessing, which by itself is a positive event, is the necessary contrast created which outlines the silhouette of the negative. Think of a man entirely dressed in black, against a black background, in the middle of the darkest night. Only if the background turns bright and night into day can you see the man dressed in black.

Therefore, we can act and do without comprehending our own actions, if we lack the capacity to reflect upon and witness our actions.

Since the negative, unaware modality cannot see itself, it therefore is incapable of recognizing the actions that lead to the consequences that cause our suffering. It cannot connect the dots. And when the consequences manifest, 5 days, 5 years or 5 lives later, the negative, unconscious state of mind is bewildered and asks, ”Why is this happening to me?” It points and blames someone or something without the slightest clue as to
comprehending how it is responsible and how it is the actual cause of the suffering.

It cannot connect the dots.

When Jesus Christ healed a man from his suffering he said to him, “Now go and sin no more.” What he said is, recognize which actions caused your suffering and do not repeat those actions.

To sin is to break the Laws of the Universe, for which the payment is suffering.

Therefore, the conscious mind witnesses its own words and actions to eliminate those that cause suffering.

As consciousness begins to flower, it may then choose a course of action that contributes to the alleviation of suffering.

This will inevitably lead to emphasizing this message: Witness your thoughts, decisions and actions. Witness the consequences --- and learn to connect the dots. Learn to recognize and not resist wisdom. Learn to listen. Learn to be present.

The Story of Snow White

The Story of Snow White
Rewritten by Raylene Abbott

Once upon a time Snow White sat upon her wishing well. Her face was white as snow. Her lips had a ruby glow and her hair was black as coal. You see, Snow White wasn’t that young any more. She had already been awakened by Prince Charming from her slumber. She had received the Kiss of Consciousness and had been looking into the Mirror of Knowing and found herself in all of her life’s experiences.

She had even passed through her initiations with the cruel Queen and her magic mirror and had transformed her negative emotional experiences into wisdom discernment. Snow White knew how to draw deep from the Wishing Well, the Divine Source of her own Being. She realized that she was an eternal being, living in the Class Room of Life.

Snow White even realized that she had been the creator of even the hardships she endured in life. She had learned to watch her thoughts and choose wisely what she believes to be true, since the thoughts we believes in are what creates our reality. She saw this life and its temporary experiences as ever-changing. You see, Snow White in reality was the Triple Goddess of Matter. Her snow white skin was the purity of thought and intention. This was the first bud of creation, known as the Virgin aspect. Snow White’s ruby red lips are the full flowering of creation known by some as the maiden. Her dark hair was the destructive aspect of creation when the soul outgrows its creation and needs to change form in the creation process to experience new growth in the soul’s journey. This ever-changing projection of reality was experienced by Snow White as she observed her own thoughts and emotional processes as she made choices in her thought processes and life experiences.

Snow White had made many realizations upon her soul’s journey. She became so rich with realizations, she wanted to go out into the world and share her understanding with others. Snow White was excited to share what she had learnt. So the first thing she did was go to a little cottage in the woods. This was the home of the seven dwarfs.

When Snow White walked into the cottage everything was in disarray. The dwarfs had not cleaned their house for a long time. Everything was full of dust. Snow White was happy to help the dwarfs to do a little house cleaning.

But suddenly the door opened and all seven dwarfs walked into the cottage. They gathered around Snow White. They were in awe of the Beauty of her Soul. Snow White thought this is a good time to teach the dwarfs about the Laws of Cosmic Creation. I want to share with the dwarfs how to draw from the deep well of their own being.

The dwarfs encircled Snow White and she began to teach. She explained we all have a deep source inside our own hearts. This well was so deep and vast that when one touches this place inside of oneself, everything becomes still and silent. We feel like we have come home and we feel at Peace. Our thoughts stop. She explained that this happened to her when Prince Charming kissed her. She woke up from her deep sleep and came into Union with her own Soul.

She also went on to explain about the process of Creation and how important it was to clean the dust from our minds and begin to consciously create with pure intention, rather then create unconsciously. Snow White pointed out how the discord in this world was a manifestation of unconscious creation. The discord had become so great that it was now affecting even the Laws of Nature and Mother Nature’s Creation. You see, Snow White loved nature and had experienced the secrets of Mother Nature, the animals and plants. She understood that both Comic Law and Natures Law worked together.

It was time for the Seven Dwarfs to awaken in their consciousness. The dwarfs stood in line in front of Snow White and she kissed each Dwarf to awaken their consciousness. The experiences were absolutely exhilarating. Snow White’s kiss was like a shower of sparkling light that swept through the minds of the dwarfs. Each dwarf experienced the Kiss of Consciousness differently. Some of the dwarfs felt deep peace. Another dwarf felt intense energy moving through his body, clearing away emotions and negative thoughts of the past. One dwarf began to have visions of celestial beings who were the teachers of Snow White. The Kiss of Consciousness made the dwarfs feel in Unity with everyone and everything.

Snow White now explained that to hold the Kiss of Consciousness was hard work. That each dwarf needed to clean up his own thoughts and the emotional process of creation. She emphasized how important it was to clean the dust from our minds and create positively with our thoughts daily. And she continued to explain that it was not Snow White’s job to clean up the house of the dwarfs all the time, but that they had to do their own house cleaning. Snow White loved to help them, but it was better to teach them to how to clean than her cleaning up their mess for them.

The Kiss of Consciousness was a precious gift and each dwarf needed to protect and guard this treasure of the soul. Time went by and Snow White began to have problems with the dwarfs. The gift of the Kiss of Consciousness began to grow dimmer because some of the dwarfs began to forget the instructions that Snow White had given them.

Dopey (Simplet) was not wise enough to listen to the teachings of Snow White. Grumpy (Grincheux) was so negative in his own thought process, he had become attached to his negative way of thinking. He could not see how to stop the downward spiral of his negative thoughts. Sleepy (Dormeur) just refused to wake up in consciousness - it was much easier for him to sleep through the process. Bashful (Timide) did not have the courage to face his emotional baggage, so he stops the process of awakening. Sneezy (Atchoum) had become so ill through his own life's suffering that Snow White needed to heal him before he could receive the Kiss of Consciousness. Snow White hoped that he could receive the teachings after he was healed. Doc (who is called Professor in French) was so smart that he thought he knew it all. His cup was so full of knowing that he could not receive the teachings.

But last and surely not least was Happy (Joyeux). Happy experienced the Kiss of Consciousness and applied the teachings of Snow White. He took responsibility to clean his own house. He did his spiritual practice and cleared his emotions and was mindful of his process. Happy even began to have his own experiences with the Kiss of Consciousness. Happy dug deep into the cavern of his own soul and began to find diamonds and jewels of realization. This made Snow White also very happy.

Happy came back from the Cavern of His Soul one day and began to show the other 6 dwarfs about the spiritual jewels he had found in Snow Whites Teachings. All the dwarfs began to get excited again. They began to remember the gift Snow White had given them - the Kiss of Consciousness.

They all picked up their shovels and picks and began to sing: .”Hi Ho, Hi Ho and off to work we go...”

All the dwarfs began to do their spiritual practice and everyone lived happily ever after.

The End

Soul Codes

Mostly the soul exists surrounded by the vault of the ego-mind structure. This ego-mind structure has a code, a password. For the one who finds this access code, the door opens and soul-to-soul communication arises.

The code to give access to another soul can be a single sentence or a word. Maybe it is just a glance or a gesture at the exact right time and the right way. But to find these access codes one must fall into the center of one’s own being. Only there can these access codes for other souls be found.

A great example for this exists in the life of Gotama Buddha. One day Gotama held up a flower in front of many of his disciples… and Mahakashyapa suddenly smiled.

What happened? The simple act of holding up a flower at that precise moment in time caused a massive shift in Mahakashyapa’s reality. This moment in Buddhist scriptures is considered to be the transmission of enlightenment from Gotama Buddha to Mahakashyapa.

Later, Ananda, one of the closest disciples of Gotama supposedly had the following exchange with Mahakashyapa:

Ananda: “Did the World-Honored one pass on anything else besides the gold brocade robe?”

Mahakashyapa shouted, “Ananda!”

Ananada said, “Yes?”

Mahakashyapa said, “Knock over the flagpole in front of the gate.” And Ananda experienced great enlightenment.


These are examples of access codes being used to cause radical shifts in consciousness.

Money - The Final Frontier

Money is the final frontier for the mind. In order to reach that inner space wherein we generate compassion to a point where we are ready to give away money to alleviate suffering, a long distance has to be traveled. One might need to enter a spaceship to reach there as the common mind environment will not favor such action. Which is why such action does not happen very often and that is .... the way of the common mind.

In the ancient days of Israel, tithing was an important part of the society, not just because it represented compassion in action, but also because it was believed that tithing supported the flow of money coming to the giver. So, to keep protecting one's interests, one gave away 10% of one's income to where money would meet a genuine human need.

Money is the most powerful outer force on the planet. It will build or destroy entire countries, create an oasis in a desert, change despair into hope, and restore dignity where there was none. Hence the distribution of money needs to be included into the network of compassion in some fashion or other. Its power to alleviate suffering is immense.

It is the ability to utilise money as a vehicle for compassion that is part of the Noble Mind.

Frequencies

The body of a spiritual teaching too exists as a communication modality on a certain frequency and just as radio signals are sent into the world, so is a spiritual teaching emitted into the world. One single radio station is capable of sending the signal to millions of receivers. However, only if the receivers are tuned to the exact frequency will the message be received.

So, if I say that on Sunday 7 PM there will be a very important message on 101 FM, you must be tuned. If you are not tuned to the frequency, for all practical purposes, whatever transpires on that frequency is utterly non-existent to you. Therefore, the absence of experience is mistaken for reality. This compares to a blind man insisting that there exists no light – he mistakes his incapacity for objective reality. (On a footnote, physicists have discovered that the spectrum of light is tremendously broader than our human eyes are capable of perceiving.)

To become available to the reality of the soul, we require to shift our life and expand the spectrum of our perception. To do this requires effort, beginning with the recognition for the need to tune to a different frequency than the one we are on.

So if you feel this rings true and I have caught your attention --- stay tuned!

The Chess of Life

Life is energy. Therefore, what you may consider an obstacle or a hindrance in your life; this too represents an energetic presence.

If the obstacle is a rock in your driveway, it is easily measurable and you will know that to move the rock will require appropriate tools that are sufficient to the task of moving it.

But when your life is laced with difficult situations that keep you from moving forward and designing a life that is more agreeable and enjoyable, then things become more nebulous.

A difficult situation too represents an energetic presence that is also measurable, if we only knew how to measure it. But, actually we do: The measure comes as a feeling of burden we carry, and we do recognize those feelings and distinguish the degrees. Sometimes, life seems heavy and it presses us down. That is the weight of the obstacles in our life.

In order to move an obstacle we need to generate an energy presence that is greater than the presence of the obstacle.

The moment we have successfully generated power greater than the power of the obstacle, then the obstacle will move and remove itself from our life.

Christmas in Monte Carlo

We just spent an afternoon in Monte Carlo, which is 10 minutes from Menton. They had a Christmas market. There were many machines that made snow, created ice, all designed to create wintery feelings which were difficult to find in a climate of blue skies, sunshine and orange trees....

The role of the intellect

A smart intellect knows how to justify its continuing operation in the climate of existential ignorance in such a way that it actually looks good. Thus suffering will continue through the weakness of self-righteousness. In fact is such a case suffering will increase, possibly on the physical, mental or emotional level or combinations thereof until a bursting point is reached.

This bursting point can be a breakdown or a breakthrough, depending on the inclinations of the individual. Breakdowns can bring about the entering into states of depression to a point one might say, here is a broken person. Or the breakdowns can unleash massive waves of anger, which can express in various modes and degrees.

In case of a breakthrough the soul will assert itself to a point where it takes charge of the intellect. It takes control away from the ego. From here on the intellect acquires the role of servant to the soul, which from a more expanded existential “point” of view it was meant to be.

Now the intellect becomes an agent on behalf of the oneness and harmony of life. It no more works for and perpetuates ego, separation, fear of insufficiencies and consequent conflict.
