“I put my awareness in the field with an intention to find the higher<\/em> good and<\/em>, if I can get my lucky stars lined up, the highest<\/em> good where God is doing my life. God knows how to do it perfectly.” – John Morton<\/strong><\/p>\n

This article comes from a sharing that John had with students of the Masters of Spiritual Science Year 3 class in April 2019 at Peace Theological Seminary and College of Philosophy.<\/em><\/p>\n

One of the things we creators do that doesn\u2019t work so well is we try to be somewhere else, there and then, instead of here and now.\u00a0 We miss the opportunity that\u2019s here and now because we\u2019re not available to it. We\u2019re distracted.<\/p>\n

What distracts us?\u00a0 You may say, \u201cI\u2019m worried about my finances.\u00a0 I\u2019m worried about the bills and what\u2019s up and coming.\u201d That\u2019s not really here and now.\u00a0 How are you here and now?\u00a0 Bring that awareness for the value, especially spiritually, that would serve your Soul and spiritual awakening.<\/p>\n

We go after that.\u00a0 I experience it as a very rich opportunity in what we\u2019re doing in this seminary in our classes and courses.\u00a0 I encourage people to apply themselves maximally.\u00a0 You bring all of who you are, including the ten percent personal dimension, and we\u2019ll use it as an opportunity to grow, learn and be healthier, wealthier, and happier.\u00a0 That\u2019s what can happen.<\/p>\n

There is a \u201cregardless\u201d in there.\u00a0 It\u2019s not dependent on your physical world circumstances.\u00a0 Whatever the circumstances are, whatever\u2019s bothering you, like how much money you have or don\u2019t have or how cold it is or how much wind is in your face, bring it all.<\/p>\n

What are you doing about that to help yourself?\u00a0 Does complaining help?\u00a0 No, but it does let you know that something\u2019s bothering you.\u00a0 That\u2019s good. So what is that?\u00a0 Just be aware of what\u2019s bothering you now.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not feeling supported spiritually, it\u2019s your move.\u00a0 That\u2019s how I put it.\u00a0 When I look at Spirit, that humbles me because I\u2019m still learning how to look at Spirit.\u00a0 As much as I\u2019ve been able to see and behold, Spirit is not lacking.\u00a0 It\u2019s not irresponsible, derelict, or anything like that.\u00a0 It\u2019s delivering, in full, as much as I am available and open to receive. I continuously find I\u2019m the one limiting what Spirit can do for me. It\u2019s humbling, but it\u2019s also encouraging.<\/p>\n

I find enthusiasm if I\u2019m being more open, being honest, trusting in goodness and love, and caring for myself and others.\u00a0 Amazing experiences come forward including abundance, prosperity and providing for needs.\u00a0 Rest is one of the needs that we all have so that we make contact with our source and it replenishes us.\u00a0 We need that on a daily basis.\u00a0 Like manna, we need that bread to come to us.\u00a0 Rest feeds and nurtures who we are so we\u2019re full again this day.<\/p>\n

There is a praising here.\u00a0 How\u2019s your praising going?\u00a0 That\u2019s a good question.\u00a0 You could do more of that.\u00a0 Praising is actually a form of worship.\u00a0 Some look at it like, \u201cIs that idolatry? Does God really need me to praise, like here\u2019s a wonderful, mighty, magnificent God?\u00a0 Doesn\u2019t God already know that without needing to hear from me?\u201d\u00a0 Yes, but do you know it in relation to your God?<\/p>\n

It becomes a communion that\u2019s holy.\u00a0 It\u2019s holy union.\u00a0 As it is above, so it is below.\u00a0 We start hearing celestial harmonies.\u00a0 Some of those are voices and some are sounds.\u00a0 Then we know there\u2019s something going on in the higher states where we\u2019re going, where our consciousness is taking us, that\u2019s greater.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also going on here, and not in a lacking or inferior way.\u00a0 That\u2019s a key understanding.\u00a0 It\u2019s not broken.\u00a0 This creation is not broken.\u00a0 It\u2019s actually perfect in what it\u2019s designed to do.\u00a0\u00a0 What is that?\u00a0 Interrogating me, tormenting me and finding my faults?\u00a0 Is that what this grace is about?<\/p>\n

That could be your point of view, but it\u2019s actually bringing you the experiences you need, as you\u2019re ready for them.\u00a0 It\u2019s ordered.\u00a0 It\u2019s beautiful how it\u2019s ordered.\u00a0 But disorder can come because we have responsibility.\u00a0 We make choices that bring about our creation.<\/p>\n

If we miscreate, there\u2019s a disturbance in the force.\u00a0 Just surrender to it, like, \u201cI\u2019m eating of my own creation.\u00a0 I\u2019m harvesting what I seeded.\u201d\u00a0 The way we can use it for our advancement is by asking ourselves, \u201cNow what?\u00a0 What do I do with the awareness of what\u2019s not working in some way and get on to what is working?\u201d\u00a0 Look for the good amongst all the awareness.\u00a0 Look for the highest good.<\/p>\n

Is there somewhere else you\u2019d rather be?\u00a0 Is your consciousness, your wisdom, telling you it would be better to be somewhere else than where you are?\u00a0 If not, that\u2019s synchronicity.\u00a0 Your \u201cducks are in a row\u201d.\u00a0 Maybe the row has some squiggly things in it, but that\u2019s nature.\u00a0 It can be beautiful in its meanderings and mysteries.\u00a0 It\u2019s not always a straight line, and yet it\u2019s natural.\u00a0 In the harmony of it, you\u2019re in the synchronicity with what your life has called you to do this day.<\/p>\n

Trust that.\u00a0 Instead of, \u201cOh, I don\u2019t trust myself.\u00a0 My life is full of mistakes so I\u2019m sure this is another day where I\u2019ll find out later how bad my choices were.\u201d\u00a0 Who wants to live that life?<\/p>\n

Get on to, \u201cI\u2019m making better choices.\u201d\u00a0 How\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

\u201cI look for better choices.\u201d\u00a0 How\u2019s that?<\/p>\n

\u201cI put my awareness in the field with an intention to find the higher <\/em>good and<\/em>, if I can get my lucky stars lined up, the highest <\/em>good where God is doing my life. God knows how to do it perfectly.\u201d<\/p>\n

If I put myself in alignment with God\u2019s will and how God would do it in my circumstances and consciousness, it\u2019s fantastic and amazing.\u00a0 God already has it prepared, already lined up.\u00a0 All I do is allow it and then participate.\u00a0 There is a choosing back, but it\u2019s a small, small measure compared to what God has already done.<\/p>\n

That, to me, is good.\u00a0 God does most of the good and then we just put in our part of the good.\u00a0 In the measure of it, you\u2019d say, \u201cGod\u2019s doing by far the larger part of the good, and it\u2019s already done.\u201d God does it in such a way, as it\u2019s perfect.\u00a0 We don\u2019t have to worry.\u00a0 We just need to steer clear of the things that are not our level of concern.<\/p>\n

If something comes along like, \u201cHey, you want to go rob a bank?\u00a0 We\u2019re going to rob a bank.\u00a0 You want to come with us?\u00a0 You look good.\u00a0 You could drive the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll be an accessory to the crime.\u00a0 Would you like that?\u00a0 I\u2019d say, \u201cNo thanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBut we\u2019re going to have a great time!\u00a0 We\u2019ll have all that loot.\u00a0 We\u2019re going to a party.\u201d\u00a0 I think there\u2019s a group of people that are going to find that loot and take you to prison.\u00a0 Have you thought about that?<\/p>\n

It\u2019s in steering clear of unnecessary experience that you realize, \u201cI don\u2019t need that.\u00a0 I\u2019m not part of that.\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t do that in the multidimensional world where I could take it lower because it\u2019s available to me.<\/p>\n

Poor choices are certainly available.\u00a0 In the higher consciousness, choices become more and more narrow.\u00a0 The wide field has things that are not your level of concern.\u00a0 They\u2019re not what you want to involve yourself in if you really look at it.\u00a0 There is a better choice.<\/p>\n

One of my examples is Mahatma Gandhi.\u00a0 In the film, he was spinning a wheel to make yarn in his free time.\u00a0 He had invitations to do speaking and you can imagine what he was being invited to do!\u00a0 He just really wanted to spin yarn that day.<\/p>\n

I could ask, \u201cWhy, with all his abilities and the power and majesty of his consciousness, would he be spinning yarn?\u201d\u00a0 Because he enjoyed it.\u00a0 This was how he harmonized with his nature, his Mahatma.<\/p>\n

You don\u2019t have to be doing a great mission or saving souls.\u00a0 It could just be you\u2019re doing something to make things better.\u00a0 Putting a little more shine or gloss on something that we could appreciate if we have the eye to appreciate your handiwork.\u00a0 It can be a humble existence.<\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t mean you have to live in a certain neighborhood, even if you think you prefer it.\u00a0 Can you be happy in this neighborhood on a simpler basis?\u00a0 You might find it makes other things more available that you couldn\u2019t get with all the upkeep in that other neighborhood.\u00a0 It\u2019s an adjustment such that you find what I call the \u201csweet spot.\u201d<\/p>\n

The sweet spot is where the maximum health, wealth and happiness is going to play out in your life.\u00a0 It\u2019s going to be pointing out something like, \u201cMake it better than you found it.\u201d\u00a0 It starts where you are.\u00a0 Maybe some days you don\u2019t get out of the room because you just keep making things better where you are.\u00a0 You realize, \u201cWell, I was going to go off and help all the people down the street, but I ministered to the place where I lay my head.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who\u2019s to say that\u2019s not the best choice for that day and what would lift, clear, balance and heal?\u00a0 Maybe you just found out what you don\u2019t need that you thought you needed; that more or less you were just attached.<\/p>\n

I think PTS classes are a luxury. They\u2019re not required even for Soul level initiates.\u00a0 They\u2019re not required, but they are a good choice.\u00a0 Just consider that I make the best choices available, so I\u2019m here.\u00a0 Somehow, we\u2019re synchronizing.\u00a0 That\u2019s my attitude.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have to be here.\u00a0 I\u2019m choosing freely to be here.<\/p>\n

I want to be here with you.<\/p>\n

God bless you.<\/p>\n
