Michael Bernard Beckwith & Agape

This writing is inspired by the sermon that Marianne Williamson gave at the Agape International Spiritual Center this morning. This is the Spiritual Center of Rev. Dr. Michael Beckwith; from the movie The Secret, Oprah, Larry King Live, on the world stage. You can see his Sunday service online at www.agapelive.com. It is more than just an uplifting experience. Marianne Williamson, www.marianne.com gave an incredible talk, inspired and practical; mind and heart enhancing.

[For people who are not familiar with some terms. 'Go to level' means to meditate while staying focused. Beta mind refers to your experience of the world as you know it with your eyes open and fully engaged with your senses.]

One reason to go to level frequently, at a minimum daily, is to wash away the stresses from yesterday in order to keep yourself from going stress-psychotic and reacting to this world of form in destructive ways through destructive thinking.

Let us take a short journey through the limited world of being normal.

Our five physical senses do a great job at showing us ‘what is’, what is in our life now, the problems, the judgments, the pains, the world news, etc. The world detected by this and our emotions is a world that already exists. And in this outer world, some may call the ego world, we only have the mortal thoughts with which to handle it. These mortal thoughts and reactions will keep this outer world doing what it knows how to do since, in this mind state, all thoughts and ideas come from your collected database  of knowledge of ‘what is’ and ‘what has been’ and are experienced by and stored through your beta mind into the left hemisphere. We know this well; it is the origin of any problems we may experience.  And it keeps building and we get more stressed and we react more so out of self righteousness and indignation, qualities of our limited ego mind that thinks it is separate from us and from everyone else. We get to be right. The price of being right is illness, negativity, doubt, misguided deeds, separation, feelings of inadequacy, etc. The ultimate price of being right is living a disconnected existence, living small and not doing what and not being who we came here to do and be.

Let us take a journey through the unlimited world of BEING.

By going to level you are entering into a meditative state, a prayerful state, a place from which you operate from your centered being where you are connected to the infinite intelligence through your intuition. It is as if you left the apparent world of form with all its baggage, walked through a hallway and emerged into the majestical Theater of All.

The first benefit is that outside world experience begins to fade away as you turn your attention to your inner self and its world of possibilities. Any built up stress begins to immediately drain from your body. Any built up negative thinking begins to immediately drain from your mind. If that is not enough of a reason then…

The second benefit is you plug into increased intelligence, to commune with the infinite creativity using your intuition. By entering this world of cause daily you are choosing to empower that infinite potential self within. You are choosing to dis-empower that limited self that lives without; without the saving grace of new and creative thoughts that lead to an expanded life.

The third benefit is that once you have disconnected from ‘what is’ and connected to ‘what can be’ you can now generate ‘what shall be’ from your unlimited, loving, compassionate, expansive, inspiring, awesome, vision-driven, infinite and authentic self.

Let us now call upon our divinely-given skill of Free Will and make a choice.

What have you chosen? What do you choose now?

Imagine making this choice every day.

Imagine making this choice with eagerness.

Imagine facing each day born anew and feeling unencumbered by the past.

Imagine intuiting empowering thoughts from your unlimited potential.

Imagine witnessing your own transformation as they become the majority of your thoughts.

Imagine, as a direct result, feeling empowered and transformative feelings.

Imagine allowing your perfect life to unfold from within driven by your Highest Vision and Purpose.

Imagine Living as an expanded BEing.

Imagine Living in an expanded World.

Imagine It. Be It. Live It.

And, So It Shall Be. And, So It Is.

Meditative Thought from Michael Bernard Beckwith

How do we become authentically, totally free? Is it even possible in the three dimensional realm? My personal conclusion is that we cannot find absolute freedom in the external world. We have to go beyond the five senses of the outer world and enter the fourth dimensional inner realm where we use our sixth sense, intuition, to directly contact the authentic self.

The authentic self is formless-no description on Facebook or Twitter can describe the authentic self, It is made of pure consciousness. The more deeply we move towards actualizing this awareness the more we infuse our outer lives with its beauty and freedom has tremendous beauty.

As I was laying back and staring at the sky I wondered what Freedom means to me. There are the standard concepts… A founding principle [...]]]> A few of us went downtown Austin for the 4th of July Fireworks and the Austin Symphony Orchestra. It was fun to be along Town Lake and it was a good show.

As I was laying back and staring at the sky I wondered what Freedom means to me. There are the standard concepts… A founding principle of this nation in our Bill of Rights is freedom. Our troops help us maintain our freedom. I think of an eagle, fireworks, sparklers.

Then I began to wonder: What does Freedom Mean to People on a very personal level? When someone thinks or says ‘freedom’ what is it that is going on inside. I first think about our Free Will, a quality of our thought process that we are born with and I cherish very dearly. This assures me that my thoughts are ultimately my choice. I get to choose them… And knowing as much as we know about how Thoughts Create Reality then there is always room for hope. We can always change our lives by first changing our thoughts. This is one thing about the Silva Method classes that is generally not spoken about; it teaches you how to think differently giving you management privileges and skills for your thought processes. Very empowering.

Then I considered those great feelings I have experienced many times in life; a visceral sense of freedom that comes when a set of old stale patterns/beliefs/thoughts melt away.  That sense of freedom that comes when somehow, some way I feel as though the mental walls of my life’s possibilities has rapidly expanded. This usually can occur in classes that focus on personal experience. [I am working to bring back a transformational weekend experience I used to do; it was titled Creating Real Magic. This class was an environment for people to let go of their old walls and to imagine going beyond them.]

Then I wondered about how many times my own limiting and personally oppressive thinking has held me back. The joyous part of that realization is to then feel the personal freedom I just reclaimed for my living. I now get to use my imagination and think more expansive thoughts that will lead me to a more expansive life. Freedom is an aspect in the environment of life in which I have the Free Will to choose the direction of my life. This, to me, is a new opportunity to feel greater joy and love about my life. The sense that the intent of life is leading us on an upward spiral and providing us with what we desire is reassuring.

“The road to freedom lies not through mysteries or occult performances, but through the intelligent use of natural forces and laws.” Ernest Holmes, Science of Mind

I was talking with a very insightful and psychic friend the other day and he said something that was such a good way to put ‘it’.

The child makes the map that the adult lives by.

In some classes we talk about how as a child your initial job is to watch, learn and absorb how those ‘big people’, adults, do life. The child is building belief systems, learning what to do in specific situations and what not to do and generally learning how to relate to all the aspects in this life.

So, if you had great role models, adults, around you then you learned some great ways to handle life. BUT if you didn’t then… you end up taking workshops

Take a moment to contemplate what this means to you. As an adult your Treasure Map for finding your Life’s Treasures was created by you when you were a child.

There is so much to this… and this is a BIG part of my motivation to teach and coach those who want new Treasure Maps.

What is on your map for finding the treasures in your career?

What road does your map take you down when you consider romantic relationships?

What about health, money, friends, fun…

Take a moment today and look at the path you have been following? Is it still valid after all these years? Or does it need a bit of upgrading?
