The \u201coriginal nine\u201d are health, wealth, happiness, abundance, prosperity, riches, loving, caring, and sharing.<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger later added a tenth blessing \u2013 touching. I relate to touching as being in contact, being and living in connection.\u00a0 We are here, but we\u2019re also with each other, even if it\u2019s in a remote way.\u00a0 I can\u2019t reach out and touch you right now, but there is a way your spirit does touch me.<\/p>\n<p>I look at what we are doing in the transcendent consciousness and what we call Soul Transcendence.\u00a0 What is that?\u00a0 It is beyond this world.\u00a0 It\u2019s in the beyond.\u00a0 I was watching golf recently and saw someone wearing \u201cBlue Yonder\u201d on their shirt.\u00a0 That\u2019s the official song of the United States Air Force.\u00a0 I grew up in the Air Force because my dad\u2019s place of business, his occupation was in the United States Air Force.\u00a0 I knew the song, \u201cOff we go into the wild blue yonder.\u201d\u00a0 I was kind of programmed early on to see the \u201cyonder\u201d like beyond.\u00a0 Where does it go?\u00a0 Where does the sky go?<\/p>\n<p>There is a seminar that John-Roger did titled, \u201cWhat is the Spiritual Sky?\u201d\u00a0 He spoke about things beyond our awareness, beyond what we know consciously.\u00a0 Living blessings are one of those things.\u00a0 They already are in the fullness of what they are.<\/p>\n<p>What is the blessing of loving?\u00a0 We could all spend the rest of our lives doing that blessing and finding that blessing.\u00a0 The greater aspect of it would be in the \u201cyonder,\u201d beyond gravitational force, in something like weightlessness where there are no burdens.\u00a0 Consider the greatest blessings are without any negativity whatsoever, including plain old limitation.\u00a0 What would full unmitigated loving be? There is nothing holding it back.\u00a0 Maybe at some level you don\u2019t know if you could handle that physically.\u00a0 You might wonder if the full power of loving came into your physical condition, it might blow you to smithereens.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m actually in the process of finishing my next book that\u2019s coming out called \u201cBlessings Here and Now.\u201d\u00a0 Maybe I\u2019ll say, \u201cBlessings Here, Now and Yonder,\u201d because in the finishing is evermore blessing.\u00a0 In all three of my books, \u201cBlessings\u201d is in the title.\u00a0 Consider blessings are always around.\u00a0 If we don\u2019t feel, think, or have a sense of blessing, blessings are still present, here now.\u00a0 Have the wit to look for the blessing.\u00a0 Ask, \u201cWhat is the blessing?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You may have already been delving into that, allowing that to be shared.\u00a0 Perhaps you are sharing the blessings, articulating them in some way, attempting to tell the story of the blessings that are here now.\u00a0 Your life could be a testimony to living blessings.<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger talked about the purpose in his life.\u00a0 I followed him pretty closely and he said in many different ways that his life purpose is living loving or loving living.\u00a0 The living love.\u00a0 He told us his affirmation was, \u201cI communicate living love.\u201d\u00a0 If anybody ever asks you, \u201cAre you part of that John-Roger group?\u201d\u00a0 Yea!\u00a0 \u201cWho is John-Roger?\u201d\u00a0 Oh, he communicates living love.<\/p>\n<p>Do you communicate living blessings?\u00a0 We could all take that on as an affirmation of our lives.\u00a0 \u201cI communicate living blessings.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s pretty close.\u00a0 In my life, I\u2019ve got three books with blessings on the cover, so there is something going on there.<\/p>\n<p>Neither my father nor mother lived to see my books.\u00a0 Maybe they had a discussion when they were still together here, and said, \u201cWhat do you think John is going to amount to?\u00a0 Oh, he\u2019s going to be about blessings.\u00a0 He is going to have a life about blessings.\u201d\u00a0 I have a certainty they didn\u2019t come up with that, like, \u201cOur son\u2019s life is going to amount to living blessings and telling people about blessings.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger started relating to it as, \u201cBaruch Bashan\u201d and said, \u201cI\u2019m saying the blessings are already here.\u00a0 They are already present.\u201d\u00a0 In this dimension, there could be an increase.\u00a0 Let\u2019s go for that.\u00a0 What if it reduces and even comes into a more limited dark state?\u00a0 The blessings go there, even in the dark state.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cWell, I don\u2019t think so.\u201d\u00a0 That is where the mind goes.\u00a0 It starts relating to the negation rather that the truth.\u00a0 The blessings are here.\u00a0 Look for them.\u00a0 They are in the good.<\/p>\n<p>The definition for blessing that I came up with, which I hadn\u2019t heard from anybody else, is greater good.\u00a0 There are greater blessings going on now.\u00a0 You might want to look through what those are.\u00a0 The greatest blessings are here.\u00a0 They are also becoming greater.\u00a0 So, get ready.\u00a0 When we are on to that, that is amazing.\u00a0 Like, \u201cThis is the best day of my life!\u00a0 This is the best moment in my entire existence.\u00a0 And it\u2019s going to get better!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Your life is going to get better than whatever you are experiencing.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cWell, it\u2019s already the best day of my life!\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019m telling you it\u2019s going to get better because the best is yet to come.\u00a0 Enjoy the blessings that are here now.\u00a0 That is living the blessings.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>A Living Blessing<\/h4>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider that we&#8217;re all in harmony right now.<br \/>\nThe openness of the spirit to us<br \/>\ncomes to us in complete loving with no limit.<br \/>\nAnd the forgiveness of God<br \/>\nthat this is God&#8217;s business, particularly in this world,<br \/>\nthat releases us from any form of bondage, any form of attachment,<br \/>\nparticularly when we do this thing, we call judgment<br \/>\nwhen we bring it into some disturbance, some negation.<br \/>\nBecause of this, we&#8217;re no longer open to God,<br \/>\nwe\u2019re no longer open to the love and the light of God.<br \/>\nTake that off.<br \/>\nIf you don&#8217;t know how to do it in your own power, your personal power,<br \/>\nthen consider God is with you in the fullness of God&#8217;s power,<br \/>\nwhich is in complete liberation.<br \/>\nReleasing every bond, anything binding us, holding us into a lesser form.<br \/>\nOur day is coming, our day of liberation, our day of celebration.<br \/>\nThe greatest blessings are upon us already.<br \/>\nThis is the anointing;
