In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we endeavor to catch up with the Spirit, to be fully conscious and aware in the Spirit because we already are that way.\u00a0 The \u201ccatching up\u201d part is getting our body and mind there.<\/em> – John Morton <\/p>\n This article comes from a Soul Transcendence Seminar John gave on August 4, 2021.<\/strong><\/p>\n Our life in the world is temporary, but our spiritual life is eternal.\u00a0 In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we endeavor to catch up with the spirit, to be fully conscious and aware in the spirit because we already are that way.\u00a0 The \u201ccatching up\u201d part is getting our body and mind there.<\/p>\n One of the signs we are functioning spiritually is that we can be flexible. We can go with what is, \u201csteady as the north star.\u201d\u00a0 We know what that is, and it stays consistent.\u00a0 We also need to be as \u201cflexible as the wind\u201d that can move in different directions with different levels of acceleration.\u00a0 We can go in different ways, with differing cadences and drumbeats.<\/p>\n In the spirit, it\u2019s a symphony.\u00a0 It works in harmony.\u00a0 As we go into a spiritual awareness, we could experience cacophony.\u00a0 That is a way of saying there are sounds in the world that are discordant or inharmonious.\u00a0 They are not in synchronicity with ways that flow freely according to the spirit.\u00a0 When you come into the denser realities, the conditions that become the psychic-material nature, it makes it something like a \u201cslow down\u201d in sound.\u00a0 It is a substance I would call more fixed, hardened, or solidified.<\/p>\n The psychic-material nature creates challenges to simply staying awake and conscious.\u00a0 That is a challenge in and of itself, to stay awake when we are in some state of consciousness like drowsiness or sleep when it\u2019s difficult to stay conscious.\u00a0 It\u2019s feeling tired.\u00a0 That could be a temporary condition, like, \u201cI\u2019m tired of this.\u201d\u00a0 But if we do something fun and light, it\u2019s, \u201cI\u2019m no longer tired.\u00a0 I\u2019m in the energy of finding the light.\u201d\u00a0 We have a phrase, \u201cMake light of it.\u201d\u00a0 Lift the energy of what that is.\u00a0 Even if it\u2019s just emotionally or mentally, we do it.\u00a0 We can look at it in a light, fun way.<\/p>\n The word \u201cuplifting\u201d is about being buoyant.\u00a0 It has an energy that is free flowing.\u00a0 It\u2019s not caught up in something like, \u201cWhat did you mean by that?\u201d or \u201cAre you insulting me? You don\u2019t understand me.\u201d\u00a0 That could become mutual.\u00a0 \u201cI don\u2019t understand you.\u00a0 I don\u2019t get you.\u201d\u00a0 If we go into the spiritual consciousness, I get you completely and you get who I am.<\/p>\n In the\u00a0movement of\u00a0spiritual\u00a0inner\u00a0awareness, we develop the ability to be attuned to our spiritual consciousness.\u00a0 We also call that the soul.\u00a0 The soul is the spiritual nature as it individualizes itself in our human beingness. Then there is a greater consciousness.\u00a0 Some people call it the \u201coversoul,\u201d the soul in everyone and everything.\u00a0 That would be a very expanded soul consciousness.\u00a0 As we are in that awareness, we would find it is always something above and beyond what\u2019s here or present.\u00a0 It needs to be in the movement because we want to grab it.\u00a0 We could find it moves beyond our grasp.\u00a0 Our grasping for spirit could come up empty.<\/p>\n How do we get in touch and ahold of the spirit?\u00a0\u00a0We\u00a0just open to it.\u00a0\u00a0We let it come in because\u00a0we\u00a0are open to having the experience of\u00a0spirit.\u00a0 There is also the opportunity to be aware of the light and radiance that illumines. As we illumine, it allows us to see in greater acuity.\u00a0 It is being able to see in great detail with clarity and focus.\u00a0 The focus is not vague or blurred.\u00a0 It is clarifying and it goes across dimensionality.\u00a0 You would see that the clarity continues.<\/p>\n Beyond the second dimension, there are greater dimensions in the third, fourth and fifth dimensions.\u00a0 The light would allow us to be clear in all these dimensions in ways that we experience and understand.\u00a0 I would call that knowing what\u00a0I\u00a0see to completion.\u00a0 I know I\u2019m seeing entirely what this is.\u00a0 I know what this is.\u00a0 In that consciousness, we would be able to be in the physical or psychic dimensions and also be aware of the spiritual dimensions, as well as the qualities that differentiate them.\u00a0 There are qualities to each dimension, each particular level.\u00a0 As we move into those dimensions, we also become something different.<\/p>\n The idea is that we are evolving from what we already have in us as the seed of greatness.\u00a0 One of those is what we call in MSIA, \u201csoul transcendence.\u201d\u00a0 We are all destined to return to the soul realm.\u00a0 We realize that we are not actually from this world.\u00a0 We are visitors.\u00a0 Some call it, \u201cstrangers in a strange land.\u201d\u00a0 We realize that we belong in a greater place.\u00a0 That is definitely an understatement.\u00a0 One way to measure it is how you experience it.<\/p>\n Regardless of where you are in your life today, how would you measure it?\u00a0 Are you happy or unhappy?\u00a0 Are you healthy or unhealthy?\u00a0 Are you peaceful or in conflict?\u00a0 Regardless of all those states that we experience, you can move into a spiritual awareness that transcends any of the negativity.\u00a0 You can do that while you are in the physical body, whatever that body is.\u00a0 Whatever lifetime it is, you can do that.\u00a0 And part of it is, if you do it, you have the potential.<\/p>\n Do you realize that potential and put it into effect so that you are living and expressing as a spiritual being, with all the limitations that come with being human?\u00a0 Some people call that our faults, the \u201cwages of our sins\u201d as the reason we are so limited.\u00a0 Bad things come because of how we\u2019ve lived, and our life brings about diminishing returns.\u00a0 That is the view that our life would become of lessor quality and that we don\u2019t live up to our potential. Sometimes people interpret that we\u2019re in a state of ruin, that our life in on an irreversible trajectory like \u201cgoing to hell in a handbasket.\u201d\u00a0 Just forget about that because that\u2019s not much fun, is it?<\/p>\n Even if it is really tough for you, just realize that is not what you are to become.\u00a0 That\u2019s not your life or what is in your heart.\u00a0 Be open to the idea that if you look in your heart, you\u2019ll find it.\u00a0 It\u2019s not just hope.\u00a0 It\u2019s what you are to become.\u00a0 It is the truth of who you are.\u00a0 You are releasing the limitations that come in a form of negativity, so you live as a being who is full of light.\u00a0 That is the kind of light that reveals all is good and divine.\u00a0 The forms that appeared in the negative ways return to a nothingness.\u00a0 They become nothing.<\/p>\n When we really get ahold of it, there was always \u201cno thing,\u201d nothing.\u00a0 It was some kind of illusion.\u00a0 If you don\u2019t have that experience or it seems like not really possible, some kind of delusion, just give yourself an opportunity to look in your heart.\u00a0 Sometimes, this is interpreted by people as, \u201cIn the heart of your heart, the heart of hearts.\u201d<\/p>\n There is an eternal beauty in our consciousness.\u00a0 That is always who we are, regardless of the outer form.\u00a0 When we understand that, the outer form is being reduced, disintegrated into something lessor, so what is greater can appear when it appears.\u00a0 It has been there all along as a stage in our progression.<\/p>\n In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we move along that way.\u00a0 We become more and more attuned to our spiritual nature as a natural awakening.\u00a0 Does it require a teacher, guru, saint, avatar or whatever?\u00a0 How I see that is, \u201cNo.\u201d\u00a0 It requires our creator, our God, and then whatever form God would meet up with us that could be our teacher, wayshower, guru, avatar, or saint.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider it is not the outer form that matters.\u00a0 It\u2019s who we are and what we are to become.<\/p>\n As we meet up with whatever is here on our way, you have the opportunity to embrace what it is so that it becomes something sweet and beautiful.\u00a0 It brings about peace and understanding.\u00a0 Joy brings out something that in our heart of hearts we realize is what we really want.<\/p>\n The irony is that it has always been there.\u00a0 Even if we haven\u2019t realized it up to now, consider what we are really talking about is fully realized. Regard- less of our transgression or sins, it is held in the state that is eternal.\u00a0 In the teachings we come across, not one soul is lost.\u00a0 We may have lost our way in a conscious understanding. \u00a0We may be asleep to what we know inside of our awareness.\u00a0 What is necessary is to awaken these aspects of who we are as a practice.\u00a0 We call that \u201cspiritual exercise.\u201d\u00a0 It is the exercise of allowing spirit to work.\u00a0 As we find it and hold our focus, we learn how to come into cooperation.\u00a0 We learn to be what I would call a \u201cHu-man,\u201d or God man.\u00a0 That is also the at-one-ment or atonement.<\/p>\n If we vibrate according to who we are spiritually, it has an energy that is completely integrated with all the layers.\u00a0 We learn how to be in whatever the conditions are by allowing ourselves to be at one.\u00a0 That\u2019s another way to look at it \u2013 one moment.\u00a0 It\u2019s another way to understand how this works.\u00a0 We are already in a consciousness that knows what it is.\u00a0 We just act like it more and more.<\/p>\n The greatest key is loving.\u00a0 No matter how many times you\u2019ve heard that, claim that for yourself and say, \u201cI know that I want that, that is my primary focus in life,\u201d consider there is more you can do because it is always in movement.\u00a0 There is greater loving in the movement and expansion.\u00a0 As we do spiritual exercise, we are learning how to put ourselves into the movement.\u00a0 It is also referred to as the sound current.\u00a0 It is how sound moves like a live stream.\u00a0 It is a sound that is moving and flowing.<\/p>\n As we become part of that as a conscious awareness, there is illumination and revelation.\u00a0 There are keys we call the names of God.\u00a0 They have been there all along.\u00a0 It is a way to come into the consciousness of the Beloved that is in harmony with itself in every way.\u00a0 That is an internal awareness. It\u2019s an eternal consciousness.\u00a0 As we learn how to let go and call ourselves forward into what is that sound and vibration, it also lets us become what that is regardless of conditions, circumstances or wherever we find ourselves.<\/p>\n Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n Blessing for Our Souls<\/u><\/p>\n Lord, at this time we present to You our\u00a0souls,\u00a0that we as initiates are open again souls to walk and know themselves as the Beloved that is You.

\nresonating through all of our consciousness,\u00a0throughout all of our existence.
\nWe give thanks to the Christ
\nfor fulfilling all that was necessary to be done,\u00a0that the way has been prepared for all<\/p>\n
\nWe are friends of the silence.

\nSo, we give praise up to all those in every dimension\u00a0who assist the Traveler and those who are the Traveler\u2019s own.
\nWe ask for that ability that would allow us to hear Your sound\u00a0more clearly, more directly.
\nAs we hear the sound that comes from God,\u00a0we surrender ourselves that we may transcend.
\nWe release our fears,\u00a0we release our judgments,\u00a0that we go free.
\nWe give thanks for Your healing touch,\u00a0Your hands, the embrace of Your love.
\nMay we return it in kind ever more.<\/p>\nWATCH A BLESSING OF ATTUNEMENT WITH JOHN MORTON<\/h4>\n\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
