I go to YouTube sometimes to just peruse and see what intrigues me.
At times, I like watching singing competitions to witness that moment when a really good singer ‘gets it’ within themselves that they have a real talent. They just broke out of a too-small life box. I find some of those cause goose pimples (why is it called that?), bring a tear, or some reaction indicating it’s a Real Moment. I think of Real Moments as unmasked, authentic, and intimate moments where the person is standing in the strength that comes from being vulnerable.
To put it spiritually, it is when I get to witness someone’s Inner Light turn on. They’ve found their groove. It is awesome when, in class or a coaching session, I get to I witness someone ‘get it’. They have just expanded their field of possibilities.
It’s like a spark that is momentary. Maybe it is when that person opens their inner door to a new awakening.
To the matter at hand…
At times on YouTube, I want to learn or be reminded of something deeper. Recently I came across Oprah interviewing Caroline Myss.
Intuition, Power and Grace – Super Soul Sunday
I found the sections marked below resonated with me and thought I’d share.
What is Spirit?
3:17 – 4:30
It’s the part of you that is seeking meaning and purpose.
The part of you that is drawn to hope and believes in goodness.
I will add what I believe, learned from a philosophy Science of Mind that the Spirit within you is the source for renewal of self. It is the pure unadulterated Life Force. It has never been hurt, damaged, or changed in anyway and can never be. It is the source for your life GPS.
I remind myself that this Life Force, Spirit is within me, around me, and as me. It is what connects me to ONEness of Life. From this sort of template for my best life and my best self, I can cause a renewal in my mind, my heart, my belief, myself to grow into My Self, my life, my health (and others), .
In a spiritual mind treatment that I do for people, I call upon this Life Force to come through this template of whole, perfect and complete to cause change.
The physical world is nothing more than our classroom.
4:36-6:58
Will you make choices that enhance your spirit or drain your power?
Each of your choices will enhance your spirit or it will drain your spirit.
You’ve blocked your spirit…
If you have life, you have purpose.
6:59-17:16
Each of us is born with a purpose for being alive.
Each of us has a Sacred Contract which is a spiritual document that our soul recognizes.
My adlib: You cannot understand this using logic. This is a soul level knowing that we sense, we hear it’s whisper, we feel its nudge. Sometimes we are lucky enough to meet someone who knows us at that level. I was fortunate once for that soul level friend. He made a notable difference in my life.
The more we cling to living a predetermined logical life, a familial acceptable version of us, the more distant is its voice. This is intelligence from the Life Force that is dialed into our GPS. We have to develop a trust of our inner spirit to listen to it.
The mistake most of us make is to use our logical mind to judge it out of our field of possibilities. It’s too scary. Fear of change will make us stay in unfulfilling relationships and barely livable situations. It’s not acceptable to my family and friends. It doesn’t make sense. All of these are examples of how the ego, the consciousness from our logical mind, will give us any thought, feeling, fear, memory, other to stop us from changing.
There is a way to cut through that mental never-ending do-loop of thoughts that trap our creative freedom of expression. Sit somewhere and take some deep breaths to relax. Now breathe into your heart center. Now breathe into your soul; imagine doing it. Stay there for some moments. Ask it what is good for you. Listen for the whisper, the nudge, the inkling of an idea.
Now, back to the program…
It is a big deal in life and just takes some inner learning to clear the communication channel between your soul and your mind and heart awareness.
One atom is as purposeful as our planet.
Have no judgments, no expectations, and give up the need to know what happens tomorrow. Whoa!
Be fully present and fully appreciate what you have now.
My adlib: This is such an important skill to develop for yourself. I often remind myself that the best state to be in is grateful and joyful. Many systems say this is the place to receive your good, to receive the goals you have set, to have what you have asked Life for.
What if that awful thing that happened in your life was actually the best thing that happened in your life?
Maybe you didn’t get what your prayed for or set as a goal because it would have turned out bad for you. God/Spirit/Life was protecting you.
When Caroline is talking about God, she refers to the Essence of Life, the Force for Good that causes life, Spirit, Universe. This actually aligns with my spiritual philosophy…from the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes. This is an empowering philosophy of Universal Laws and how to work with them.
Therefore, she says God is Law. This is order in life and it runs in accordance with the unseen, yet repeatable, spiritual laws that cause life.
