Not of this world

As spiritual beings having a physical experience, we are like angels in human bodies.  But, unlike the angels, we too often forget who we really are. 

Spiritual masters since ancient times have described our dense third dimensional world as the lowest level a divine spirit can descend.  As divine spirits in material bodies, we are truly strangers in a strange land while on Earth.  In our truest state, we are beautiful light beings of incredible power, radiance and love encapsulated in these earth bodies. We are powerful beyond our limited minds have ever allowed us to imagine. Here, we are imprisoned in narrow limited imaginations about who we are and what we are capable of becoming.

Since our senses are so strong, and our spirits so light, our spiritual intuitive guidance is often drowned out. Consequently, we have to be reminded of this fundamental truth of who we are. When we can remember who we are, we are able to listen more intentionally and activate our miracle-making ability within our souls.

Today, many have forgotten who they really are and are completely immersed in the planet's dark confusion, caught up in the power plays and the violent, fatal attraction of the control/victimization power plays that engulf life on Earth.  More than ever, we have to remember and remain mindful of who we really are. 

We need to walk through Earth's smoky battlefields and remember who we really are. We can choose to be here and yet not let what is going on around us dissuade our peace, nor lure us into the tempestuous storms that have taken the entire planet hostage.  We can walk in the light, be at peace, emitting the most beautiful holy light of heaven that radiates into and through us out into the world, regardless of what is going on outside us, around us or to us. We can do this if we can look for heaven within ourselves and focus with a renewed commitment to this consciousness and attention to what is beautiful, radiant and loving.

This is not easy.  It is the hardest thing anyone with any sensitivity, any heart, can do.  But, to survive, we must do this. 

The following are just a few thoughts shared by those wise ones who were once also in dark challenging times.

Jesus tells us in The Gospel of Thomas not to do what we hate and to "Be Passerbys."  He also reminds us often that, "You are in the world, but not of the world."

And, one of the most beautiful writings on this is from the Bhagavad Gita:

"When your mind has overcome the confusion of duality, you will attain the state of holy indifference to things you hear and things you have heard. When you are umoved by confusion of ideas and your mind is competely united in deep samadhi,* you will attain the state of perfect yoga."


*Samadhi is full communion with the divine in a state of perfect peace and detachment from all that is going on around us.  The Christian definition might be "the kingdom within."
