If spirituality has no real application, then it tends to be simply a nice idea or a romantic fantasy.
Take advantage of times when things are good to build up the unconditioned state inside yourself. Then, when the challenging conditions are flooding or seeming to overwhelm you, there will be a reservoir of loving strength you have built to withstand any outside conditions.
Question: I like to feel that I am unique, even in God's eyes. Is my Soul unique? Answer: The unique statement is that we are what we are right now because everything we've done prior to this moment equals "right now." There is a uniqueness about the Soul; everyone has one and everyone is part of that energy. There is, however, something "more unique" about the Spirit that fills the Soul. That Spirit brings unique aliveness to each individual Soul. Everyone is a unique and special person in the Spirit that created us all.
We let our Light shine before all the world. We can walk down the street blessing everyone who comes our way. We can send the Light to everyone. We see somebody and say, "God bless you with Light and Love." If we know they are Buddhists, we don't add, "and may the Christ convert you to Christianity." We say, "Go ahead and be a good Buddhist."
Teach your children flexibility. If things don't go their way, then the children go the way it's happening. Teach them to move to what is going on, to pick up new rhythms and make new harmonies. You teach them these things at home, using games. You play games with them. They play one of your games, then you play one of their games. Give them this idea of give and take. When they get out into the world with other kids and want to play certain games, and the other kids say no, your children will be able to agree to play other games. When those games are over, they'll be able to say, "Now, let's play this," and the other youngsters will probably agree. They'll want a new game, and your child will have lots of experiences in creating games -- and he or she will be successful.
In a way, progression toward the positive is a regression, because truly we are coming back, returning and letting go of where we have been to take on a greater reality.
The more you come into yourself and bypass the periphery of your consciousness, the closer you will come to a place where there is a great void, a great feeling of emptiness and nothingness. You may think, "I'm getting nowhere; I'll give up." Don't do it. The Soul is protected by an etheric shield, which is the unconscious or subconscious area of your consciousness; it can be dark and void. When you endure past that, you break into the awareness of God. Then, while you reside within the physical, emotional, mental, and unconscious bodies, your consciousness resides in paradise, or heaven. At this point, you will know that you are Divine and that you are the Beloved. You'll know that Alpha and Omega are names that also apply to you - - not to you as your physical body, but to you as your Soul.
Spirit may come to you as Baraka, as the awareness of the blessings in your life.
The love of another person can support you in your search and discovery, but it is you who has to experience your own self-worth.
You may use other people to get the things you want, and others may use you to get what they want. But on this level, everybody uses everybody. That's really okay. It's part of the game here. Abuse and misuse are not part of the game. But use -- sure. You use people; people use you. It's an exchange. Nobody can exploit or abuse you unless you allow it, promote it, or actively create it. You can do all three. But without your permission on some level, you cannot be abused.
