God is love and love is God. It is not possible to advance on the path of ascension and initiation without having love for self and the world. You cannot have love for the world if you don’t first have love for yourself. If you don’t love yourself you won’t be right with yourself. And if you are not right with yourself, then you will end up projecting your wrong relationship to yourself onto the world. Essentially, this is why there are so many problems in the world today. We don’t relate to each other properly.

Ask yourself the following seven questions to determine whether you see clearly or whether indeed you have some blind spots in your psychology. 1. Do you see God in everyone or does the negative ego have you see physical bodies instead of Ete al Selves? 2. Do you follow the dictates of the lower self too much instead of the guidance of the Higher Self? 3. Do you approach the Spiritual path from a Spiritual lens only and not from a lens of consciousness and psychology as well?r
Kundalini Awakening - the sure shot method for awakening of the kundalini. Before we discuss about kundalini awakening... we need to understand the meaning of kundalini! The kundalini Shakti is that hidden positive energy stored in every human being by awakening which every human being can reach the level of Mahavira, Gautama Buddha, Jesus Christ and Prophet Mohammed. The awakening of the kundalini is possible by practicing the right Yoga and meditation. In the normal circums
Close your eyes taking in a deep breath, breathing out all tension and all negative energies on all levels. Imagine yourself now floating above the Earth looking down at its huge form, slowly spinning in the outer realms of time and space. As you look more closely at the planet you see its aura is a murky and grey color, very dense and dark; but then you begin to notice through this darkness many tiny dots of light emanating from different areas around the world, each lighting up a tiny speck of Spiritual current in the world.
Many Lightworkers are very sincere about their Spiritual growth which is a wonderful thing! However, in all their sincerity and aspiration to go somewhere in life, to reach a certain level of initiation, to take their ascension and break free from the wheel of rebirth, they get so focused on the Spiritual activities that are supposed to get them to their aspired goal that they forget to live in the present now moment.
The Threefold Flame is the Threefold Flame of Love, Wisdom and Power. God is omnipresent (love), omniscient (wisdom) and omnipotent (power). Being made in the image and likeness of God, we also have love, wisdom and power inside of us. These three qualities are anchored in our heart in the form of the so-called Threefold Flame. Everyone must own their 100% personal power in life to realize God and be a master in life.
We think that if we fear something, it is there to stay, that it is permanent, and unchangeable. But this is not so, and we must take a very personal look at ourselves to see why we think this is. When we believe something about ourselves, we encapsulate it, we make it stronger, and therefore more real to us. We see ourselves as one way, and we become so. What we believe about ourselves is how we are. It is just as easy to change your perception of yourself as it is to change your mind. And fears work the same way.
We not only have four lower bodies – physical, etheric, astral/emotional and lower mental body – we also have a number of higher bodies. These higher bodies are called Lightbodies because they are literally made of light. In truth, our four lower bodies are also made of light, but they vibrate at a lower frequency which is why they are called “lower” bodies. They are not “lower” in the sense of being of lesser value. They are only “lower” in terms of their frequency.
Each of us has a guardian angel who has been assigned to serve and guide us, and who has been with us throughout our many inca ations on Earth. So our guardian angel knows us inside and out, and protects us in whatever way possible. They realize that Earth is a school for us to grow and learn, so they protect us without interfering with our free will or hindering us from learning our Spiritual lessons.
During life, we may encounter periods of time where we are under a lot of stress. We tend to hold onto these moments and carry them forward with us. How we felt during that period is also carried forward if we do not let go of it. That is why, even though the moment we are in may seem good, easy, and enjoyable, we may still feel anxious, unsure, and troubled. Letting go of what happened to us, as well as how we felt, is very important in order to feel at ease and confident with where we are.
Make yourself comfortable, preferably sitting on a chair with your feet firmly on the floor, making sure your arms and legs are uncrossed and your spine straight. Relax now, breathing deeply once or twice, allowing your entire body to feel calm and tranquil. Imagine now that you are surrounded and cocooned in a powerful golden light. You may see it like a dome or a golden bubble that covers your entire body and stretches out as far and as high as you can visualize it outside of your body.
Visualize your inner child playing in a grassy field. See yourself as the adult you currently are, walking towards your inner child. As your inner child sees you, it recognizes you and runs towards you, leaping into your arms. Give it a big hug and share all the love and light in your heart with your inner child. Tell the inner child in your mind’s eye how much you love it! How you will always take care of it, protect it, be firm and disciplined with it, but always give it 100% unconditional love and forgiveness at all times.
Most people in this world today are complete victims. They are victims of their emotions, thoughts, lower self, inner child, sexuality, food, TV, other people, cigarettes, and so forth. When you are a victim in life, you are not the cause of your life! You allow life to happen to you, instead of making life happen!
Most people, when they think of channelling, they naturally think of voice channelling. However, in truth, there are many different ways to channel Spirit, and everyone will channel differently. Some will channel clairaudiently through speaking, others telepathically through thought, while others again will channel clairvoyantly through vision, or energetically and vibrationally through art, music, poetry, dance and love.
For your enjoyment, here are some things you can do to cut down on mistakes: 1. Get in control of your subconscious mind. 2. Work on achieving absolute mastery over your every thought, feeling, emotion, word and deed. 3. Fully train yourself in the difference betwee Christ thinking versus negative ego thinking. 4. Work on perfectly balancing your Threefold Flame of Love, Wisdom and Power. 5. Study the I AM University’s curriculum and become an Integrated Ascended Master of the Spiritual, psychological and physical/Earthly levels in a balanced and integrated fashion.r
Earth is a school, and like in any other school, there are tests and lessons we need to learn. However, most people not realizing this, don’t understand that their problems and challenges in life are gifts! They don’t realize that Earth is a school to practice transcending the negative ego, mastering our minds and emotions, practicing the Presence of God, becoming a master in life, and so forth, with the final goal being graduation. Graduation from this Earthly school is called enlightenment in Buddhism, moksha in Hinduism, or simply ascension in New Age terminology.
A celebration of great magnitude is in order! The wildfire of attention to the movie The Secret signals a massive consciousness awakening. My gratitude goes out to Rhonda for producing it and to Oprah for bringing it to greater awareness in the world. After you have a chance to play with ...
The Integrated Ascended Master realizes that part of his job on Earth is to move out of mass consciousness and join the group consciousness of the so-called “New Group of World Servers,” as Djwhal Khul calls it. This NGOWS is the group of Integrated Ascended Masters that has come to Earth to unite their love, their wisdom and their power in planetary world service. For your enjoyment, here are ten things you can do to move out of mass consciousness: 1. You must own your personal power, self-mastery and causality 100%. 2. You must have a right relationship to self.r
rn- Assume a comfortable position, either lying down or sitting up. Just be sure your spine is straight and your legs uncrossed. - Take a few deep breaths, relaxing your whole body and releasing all tension. - Think either of God or any Ascended Master that you feel especially attuned to and who, in your mind, embodies and exemplifies the energies of will and strength (like, for example, El Morya), and generate all the love in your heart for them, that you can come up with. This helps to create an energetic bond and link with them.
Findho is a small Scottish community that became known in the early 70’s for a small group of people who developed direct contact with the nature spirits and overlighting devas or angels of the plant kingdom. They followed the guidance given by these beings, and as a result all the plants and vegetables in their gardens grew giant! To learn more about this community, please read “The Findho Community” by the Findho community.
Make yourself comfortable, preferably sitting on a chair with your feet firmly on the floor, making sure your arms and legs are uncrossed, and your spine straight. Imagine a golden light all around you spreading out as far around you and as high above you as you can visualize it. This is a protective golden dome which will create a barrier and protective shield so that any unwanted or negative energies will not be able to enter inside it. Relax now, breathing deeply once or twice, allowing your entire body to feel calm and tranquil.

Act as your Mighty I AM Presence on Earth. 3. Sing bhajans or other devotional songs for Spiritual uplifting and attunement.r
There is immense power in the spoken word; however, unfortunately most people are not aware of this power they wield every day of their lives with every word they speak! In the Bible it says, “In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God.” We are made in the image and likeness of God. God’s Word has power, and so does ours!
I am a simple soul, who had a multitude of problems while growing up and still has them as an adult, but facing them with a smile. Dreams came and went, reoccurred but never taken to understand. Now, I realize the opportunities I have missed by not listening to them or heeding to their advice. This came about.however, after many experiences. The the first thing I did to start understanding my dreams was to delete any symbolic attachments to them. For example my aunt always s
This is faulty thinking! To blind oneself to the reality of extremely negative energies existing in this world is to set oneself up for some very tough lessons! Most people need more protection, not less. They need protection from their own negative ego and inappropriate energies from the content of their own consciousness. Just as the negative ego thoughts and feelings exist within, they also exist without in the form of other people, embodied and/or not.
When a Master accepts an inca ated Soul as his disciple, the Soul is esoterically called an “accepted disciple.” The Master has accepted the Soul as his disciple and student, and so the Master is now starting to work a little bit with his new student. The inca ated Soul, in turn, must now begin to manifest, to the best of his ability, the qualities of love, light, compassion, and planetary world service.
Archangels are in charge of large groups of Angels whose service is focused in all areas of life. As such there are so-called healing angels, angels of peace, guardian angels, angels of beauty, angels of the home, angels of the garden, angels of mercy, angels overlighting every forest, every mountain, every desert, every city, every country, every everything!
Rationale: Many people new to conscious manifestation make the grave error of energizing desires that are full of neediness and hidden agendas, which simply accelerates the manifestation of more dysfunction in their lives. This is a major pitfall for many people learning to apply the law of ...
Crystals have always been fascinating people, primarily due to their visual attraction, exquisite purity, interplay of colors and transparency. Crystals and stones, however, have other outstanding qualities that make them useful tools for metaphysical work. As seen from the point of view of ...
Have you ever noticed how many Law of Attraction experts create their wealth through selling abundance-creating material (books, CDS, seminars, coaching, affiliate programs, etc.) to abundance seekers? Is this really the law of attraction at work or just unscrupulous opportunism meets marketing genius? Add to this some pseudoscience and uncited statistical evidence – that 78% of people know is false anyway ; ) - and is it any wonder that so many people are skeptical of the law of attraction and see abundance seekers as mugs for New WAge (note the W) snake oil!
This is really a nasty question. If I say “yes”, then you will think there is nothing to realize and remain stuck in suffering. If I say “no”, that is not correct and limitations on the Self could be inferred.
The first consideration that one requires in order to turn your life around is to look at yourself with clarity, honesty and disce ment. What do you, as an individual, stand on? We live in a day and age where many are lost, confused, misdirected and misguided. We have many in our population reliant on anti-depressants, and these many range in age from early teenagers to octogenarians! Depression is foremost a loss of self – a loss of self-respect – and that comes directly from a LACK of respect for all others, for all life.
Mother Teresa said: “We all long for heaven where God is, but we have it in our power to be in heaven with Him at this very moment. Being happy with Him now means loving as He loves, helping as He helps, giving as He gives, serving as He serves.” The Spiritual path is really so simple. If you want to be with God on Earth, then act like God in Heaven!
Many Lightworkers, being very naïve, give their power away to exte al channels. For lack of Spiritual and psychological education, as it is being taught at the I AM University, they don‘t understand how the channelling process works.
I am gonna knock you out! Momma said knock you out! I am gonna knock you out! Momma said knock you out!!! I am sorry, but if you choose to work with me, I am gonna knock you out. This is the reason why I am very selective about the people I work with. I need to be sure that they are going to be able to take my jabs. I need to be sure that they are resilient enough to bounce back from my punches. If they swoon, or if I knock them out cold, I need to know that they are motivate
Most people are victims to one degree or another. They are victims of other people and outside situations. And they are victims of their own thoughts, images, feelings, emotions, subconscious mind, physical body, inner child, fear-based thinking, lower-self desires and so forth. When a person is a victim they are also run by the subconscious mind and they are living in a state of hyper-suggestibility.
In 2008 I took workshops in Business Plan Development and received a certificate. I can now guide others who want to develop a business plan. The name of my business plan is Creating Intelligent Pleasure. I decided to do a project by writing a guide book with the same name to compliment the business plan. The project had to do with product creation. I wanted to help people by showing them how to turn projects into products
What's your rank? The belt color ranking system that is used throughout the world today actually started with Judo in Japan in 1883. The Judo clubs would train in a grassy field and pick up yellow and green grass stains on their white uniforms and belts. The uniforms would be washed but the belts were thought to hold the memories (& certainly the smell which can cue recall) of the training. As the grass was worn away and the dirt and mud exposed, that too would stain their belts. The experience and time they spent training could be clearly seen by the color of their belts.

One of the most beautiful prayers in the world is the prayer of St. Francis. It is actually both a prayer and an affirmation, and, said aloud and/or silently within oneself in repetition, it serves as a powerful tool to bring about heightened states of consciousness and awareness. It describes beautifully the consciousness of the Integrated Ascended Master who lives by that philosophy: Lord make me an instrument of Thy peacer Where there is hatred, let me sow lover Where there is injury, pardonr Where there is doubt, faithr Where there is darkness, lightr Where there is sadness, joy!
Every person has heard of autism and everybody wonders why there are so many children who have it. My question first off is who decided what is normal and what isn't? Who's to say that Autism is not normal? Why does our society always look to blame someone or something they do not understand?
Humans are the teachers, older brothers and sisters of the animal kingdom. Animals do not only respond to feelings and emotions of the people around them, they are also responsive to the mental atmosphere surrounding them.
Karma is the law of cause and effect. The proper way to look at karma is to look at it as a teacher and gift from Spirit, because the law of cause and consequence is helping us to learn that everything we say, think, feel and do has a consequence. It is teaching us to take responsibility for our thoughts, feelings, actions and life. So karma, in and of itself, carries no judgment within it. It is rather a law in action helping us to grow and advance on the Spiritual path. This is the proper way to look at karma.
Sometimes we hold onto fear even after the moment has passed. We maintain this sense of fear because we still haven't let it go. What happens to us stays with us until we make a conscious effort to let it go. When we tense up in life, it could be because of a past fear, and not just the moment we are in. Fear can come from any moment in your past. When something in our life makes us feel afraid it can stay with us, until we let it go. We can carry this feeling with us always. It can spring up in us when we least expect it, for it is attached to our emotions and thoughts.
What are the 13 Universal Principles of Success? What are the benefits of identifying and verifying these Principles? You do not have to accept what anyone says about these principles because for them to be real for you they have to be drawn from your own life experiences. You can say, “I have been there and done that.” The benefits of such a process of coming into harmony with the Universal Laws are life changing. Here is what anyone can expect from this exercise: The Universal Law of Beingr
In numerous essays, classes and books I address what I call the spiritual I.V., the necessity of identifying and verifying the Universal Principles in our life experiences. In other words, the stress is on the personal conscious recognition from your own experiences as opposed to blindly accepting tradition or faith in what someone else says their experience has been.
There is not only personal karma working out in our lives, there is also so-called group karma. Group karma is when a group of people meets a certain karmic lesson at the same time. An example of group karma operating would be a plane crash where hundreds of people die at the same time.
So we have it then -- in the beginning there was you. You are light. You are a Radiant Being of golden light, shining brightly. Brighter than any star. Bright as a Radiant Child of God. You are Light and to Light you shall return. Be confident in your radiance, dear one. Be alive in the ...
