Love one another.\u00a0 Be aware of God’s grace and his love that extends into all things.\u00a0 Be aware of how each person resurrects and awakens into the consciousness of God, becomes the Beloved, and walks with the Traveler right into the heart of God.<\/em> – John-Roger<\/p>\n This article by John-Roger was originally published in the Movement Newspaper in December 1977.<\/strong><\/p>\n The concept of Soul travel, Soul Transcendence and God consciousness is nothing new and nothing rare.\u00a0 The practice of Soul travel has been taught and demonstrated by every Master form of Light for eons of time.\u00a0 It is also demonstrated by those who are not Master forms of Light, because the truth is inherent in everyone and everyone recognizes the truth, deep within themselves.\u00a0 The presence and reality of God exists for everyone equally.\u00a0 However, some are more aware of it than others.living<\/p>\n Those of us who are fortunate enough to know the truth of God’s presence find ourselves very blessed.\u00a0 We find that we can hold our peace and be calm in the midst of turmoil and strife.\u00a0 Those who rant and rave, thinking that they can solve dilemmas and catastrophes with their rage or indignation find themselves out of the picture pretty quickly.\u00a0 They’re really no good to anyone, because they dissipate their energies, scatter their focus (and often everyone else’s, too) and become very ineffective.\u00a0 When they have removed themselves, those who understand the truth step forward for that moment and share their truth with everyone.<\/p>\n Ultimately the only truth that stands firm is the truth that is God.\u00a0 Some people may say that the only truth is physics; others may say the truth is mathematics.\u00a0 Some say the only truth is Jesus; others say it is Buddha or Mohammed.\u00a0 And those are all correct; I have no argument with anyone’s vocabulary.\u00a0 Those are all truths, within the greater truth that is God \u2013 the supreme God that encompasses and enfolds everything in all existence.<\/p>\n God is calling together all those who have immediate Light attunement.\u00a0 We are being called together through various teachers, doctrines, religions, sects.\u00a0 We are being called together in various forms and under various guidance.\u00a0 What is important is that we are being called together to do God’s work, to hold a focus of positive Light and to behave in a loving way toward all of God’s children.\u00a0 There is no separation in God’s family.\u00a0 And even though we pride ourselves on our individuality, that individuality exists primarily on the personality level.\u00a0 If we use that individuality to give variety and interest and variation to our lives, then it is a terrific expression. However, it’s important, first, that we do not use our individuality to create separation and then, that we recognize the oneness that we are beyond the personality, beyond this physical level.<\/p>\n When we begin to experience Spirit together, we become very close to one another, regardless of what names we call ourselves or what \u201cgroup\u201d\u00a0 we say we belong to.\u00a0 Those who know God, who share a similar experience of the truth that is God, come together in a relationship closer than any other \u2013 closer, perhaps, than husbands and wives, parents and children, brothers and sisters.\u00a0 That experience of God transverses all boundaries of race, creed, nationality, family, sex, everything.\u00a0 We find ourselves forming deep bonds of friendship with those who appear to be so different from us, who are yet so very much the same.<\/p>\n The law that Moses brought forward \u2013 an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, the law of revenge \u2013 was transformed by Jesus into \u201clove thy neighbor as thyself\u201d\u00a0 (Matthew 19:19).\u00a0 And now it is being transformed again into not only loving your neighbor, but presenting yourself to your neighbor as the living love so he doesn’t have any choice but to love you.\u00a0 Isn’t that a great way to do it?\u00a0 Be the living love so that people just won’t be able to do anything but love you in return.<\/p>\n The teachings of Spirit are so simple: Take care of yourself so you can take care of others; don’t hurt yourself and don’t hurt others.<\/p>\n When you live those teachings, you are living in great freedom and are manifesting great, great love.\u00a0 It’s interesting that when the love is really present, there appears a funny mixture of caring and not caring.\u00a0 I care deeply about you; and I’m not in the least concerned about your Soul being lost or you being spiritually crippled.\u00a0 I know that cannot happen, so there is no concern there.\u00a0 I’m not concerned about you twisting your mind with unusual theories or philosophies.\u00a0 That level is illusionary and transitory and, in its own timing, the truth will reveal itself to you.<\/p>\n I’m not too concerned with your emotional upsets.\u00a0 They just don’t last that long.\u00a0 And I don’t care whether your body gets fat or thin.\u00a0 All those things will do what they will do; and you are not those things.\u00a0 You are that essence of God that is behind all of that.\u00a0 And that which is you will be around long after all those other levels have dropped away.\u00a0 The care that I have, and the love that I have, is for you.\u00a0 My loving is present because it is my nature to love.\u00a0 That’s one of the things I do best.<\/p>\n When you place negativity out toward me \u2013 when anyone does \u2013 you find that there is not much returned to you.\u00a0 There’s no negativity returned, and there’s not a lot of anything else, either. When you place love out toward me, there is a great deal of love that is returned to you.\u00a0 That’s easy for me.\u00a0 It is in love that I live.\u00a0 Pure love is the most precious of all gifts.\u00a0 You know, when you are in love, you possess love.\u00a0 But when you’re in \u201chell\u201d, that \u201chell\u201d possesses you.\u00a0 So even from a point of view of plain, old common sense, it is a lot smarter to go for the love.\u00a0 It will work every time.<\/p>\n Living love is the only thing that lasts.\u00a0 And what I call living love is more than just love.\u00a0 Love can be a concept or an idea or ideal.\u00a0 Living love is the expression, the demonstration of that love.\u00a0 Loving, and the expression of that loving gives strength to the Soul.\u00a0 It also gives energy to the Soul, energy to hold the mind still, to control the emotions, and to hold the body steady.\u00a0 Then you have a chance to lift your consciousness higher and to develop an awareness of Spirit and of the supreme God.<\/p>\n When you are giving in to your negative emotions, when you are ranting and raving and complaining and putting other people down through gossip and \u201cback-biting\u201c, you are opening yourself to the negative forces of these lower worlds.\u00a0 You become their channel.\u00a0 As long as you are living in this world, you will be subject to the forces of negativity, but you have a choice regarding what you do about that.\u00a0 You can receive of negativity, give in to that and express that to other people, or you can transmute that within yourself and put out love.<\/p>\n When someone says something to you that you don’t like you don’t have to defend yourself or \u201cattack\u201d\u00a0 them in return, or turn around and bad-mouth them later.\u00a0 You can just hear their information, their point of view, recognizing that they have the right to their opinion.\u00a0 You don’t have to get caught up in it or give it any power over you.\u00a0 You can just continue on in your own positive direction.\u00a0 If you want to take counsel of their words, that is your choice.<\/p>\n It may be to your advantage or it may not.\u00a0 If you listen, you will be able to decide whether or not to heed their words …\u00a0 and that is part of maintaining your positive direction.<\/p>\n Whatever you do, you are that essence of God.\u00a0 There is nothing that you have to do to let the Soul manifest and be joyful in that awareness of Spirit.\u00a0 You can be happy at any moment in your life, regardless of what is going on around you.\u00a0 Your happiness is not dependent on outside circumstances.\u00a0 You happiness is based on your inner awareness of Spirit.\u00a0 When that is present, you are in touch with the presence of God, that eternal, infinite quality that is your life.<\/p>\n If you are going to live your life in the awareness of God, just breathe in and breathe out, and do whatever comes your way to do. If it’s dishes, then do the dishes.\u00a0 And do them in love, not in resentment or anger.\u00a0 If your report is due on Friday, get it done by Friday, and with love. Just do what is in front of you to do \u2013 and within that doing, be selective so that your activities enhance your awareness of God.<\/p>\n If what you are doing is bringing you down, then give that up and select that which will lift you.\u00a0 With everything you do, ask yourself: \u201cIs this for my Soul’s evolution?\u00a0 Is this for my awakening?\u00a0 Is this enhancing my awareness of Spirit?\u201d\u00a0 If you don’t hear anything, let that go.\u00a0 And if the answer is \u201cyes\u201d\u00a0 you may be aware of the Soul jumping inside of you.\u00a0 You may feel a rush of energy, a spark, a flash of joy.<\/p>\n Sit and meditate upon your actions.\u00a0 Inquire within to the Soul to see if what you do awakens that part of you even more. Love one another.\u00a0 Be aware of God’s grace and his love that extends into all things.\u00a0 Be aware of how each person resurrects and awakens into the consciousness of God, becomes the Beloved, and walks with the Traveler right into the heart of God.<\/p>\n Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n WATCH A SHORT VIDEO WITH JOHN-ROGER<\/strong>
