Jesus had said he was going to rise up in three days, so if the body was still there, and didn\u2019t rise, it would be some kind of evidence.\u00a0 But his body went somewhere.\u00a0 Some said he would rise, and he did.<\/p>\n<p>In our Movement, we look to Jesus as the spiritual head.\u00a0 We invoke the Christ consciousness.\u00a0 That is something that\u00a0comes through what is the\u00a0Light, the spiritual awareness that transcends this world.\u00a0 I encourage all of us to not just talk about this but allow ourselves to go into the spirit.\u00a0 In our seminars, people do some version of taking or allowing themselves to be out of the body.\u00a0 That might look like having a difficult time keeping your eyelids open or sitting up straight, maybe having a nice nap.\u00a0 That\u2019s fairly common, because this thing we call the Mystical Traveler Consciousness has the authority and ability to take us traveling in nonphysical dimensions.<\/p>\n<p>One of my jobs is holding the anchor for what is taking place spiritually.\u00a0 That allows for what John-Roger called the\u00a0Spirit to come forward.\u00a0 It has also been referenced as the Holy Spirit. It is the potential for our spiritual nature and the spiritual nature of all creation to come through to the maximum.\u00a0 The whole spirit, not a partial spirit that has some, but not all, the authority and ability.\u00a0 We invoke the whole spirit that would be in any situation, religion, or teaching.<\/p>\n<p>John-Roger taught that God loves all His creation.\u00a0 There is no exception in that. That includes the best and worst of it.\u00a0 He also said that not one\u00a0soul will be lost.\u00a0 You are a\u00a0soul, a consciousness of spirit that transcends the body.\u00a0 The\u00a0soul is in a body but is not the body.\u00a0 It can leave the body. It can keep the heart beating, blood running, and oxygen flowing while it leaves the body.\u00a0 We call that \u201csoul travel\u201d, a conscious awareness of the\u00a0soul.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOut of God comes all things,\u201d is another teaching from John-Roger.\u00a0 There is no exception to the creator we call God.\u00a0 It is all the creation.\u00a0 There is not a \u201csecond God\u201d or something like that. There can be lower forms.\u00a0 When we wake up spiritually, we realize that we are of a creation and a creator who is in all of the creation.\u00a0 We are all connected.\u00a0 That makes it a oneness of God.\u00a0 I invite you to consider that when you pray and talk to God, it\u2019s direct.\u00a0 It is directly heard.<\/p>\n<p>Imagination can be used to soul travel.\u00a0 It is often a way to move our conscious awareness along the line of awareness.\u00a0 It goes from something that is imaginative or in the astral level into the other levels of consciousness so we can go directly into spiritual or soul awareness.\u00a0 That\u2019s what we aim for in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, to move it so we are in direct spiritual awareness.\u00a0 In that awareness are the qualities of God we can open up, that become omniscient and omnipotent as well as other qualities.\u00a0 Always loving.\u00a0 Loving in all ways.<\/p>\n<p>What we call the negative power, the Kal power, anchors in disturbance.\u00a0 It is an illusion of polarity and separation.\u00a0 It can be where we are no longer conscious in the wholeness and the spirit of who we are.\u00a0 In MSIA, we are taking the opportunity to restore and come back into that awareness of spirit.<\/p>\n<p>We do something we refer to as \u201cspiritual exercise\u201d.\u00a0 Often, how that works is you go unconscious in the physical to be conscious in the spiritual.\u00a0 Even if you don\u2019t remember it \u2013 which is part of how it works \u2013 you can be traveling spiritually in what the Traveler Consciousness is able to do.\u00a0 You join in through the protection and authority of what that is.<\/p>\n<p>It goes beyond the mind and memory.\u00a0 What you recall and retain from that experience may mean more or less nothing.\u00a0 You may not remember a thing.\u00a0 You could say, \u201cWell, I think I went to sleep, got a nap, or started daydreaming.\u201d\u00a0 There are a lot of ways to describe it.\u00a0 It\u2019s an awareness that you were not in the physical dimension.\u00a0 You could say, \u201cThat\u2019s just my imagination\u201d or \u201cI was dreaming.\u201d\u00a0 It could be the way you are interpreting what you are experiencing.\u00a0 A vision or a dream can be a way of relating to what is actually going on.\u00a0 You don\u2019t have the direct awareness consciously.<\/p>\n<p>You\u00a0<em><u>can<\/u><\/em>\u00a0have intention to wake up and be more conscious of other dimensions. \u201cAstral\u201d would be the one closest to the physical.\u00a0 The next one is called \u201ccausal\u201d which relates to the emotional level.\u00a0 \u201cMental\u201d relates to the mind, but not all of the mind because there would be an unconscious or universal mind.\u00a0 The mental level is more about how thinking, with conceptualization and perception, works.\u00a0 The unconscious level is referred to as the \u201cetheric.\u201d\u00a0 Then there is spiritual, soul and God consciousness in the whole of what transcends the negative power and the distortions it plays in the etheric, mental, causal, astral, and physical levels.<\/p>\n<p>Talking or reading about these dimensions can open it up so you start waking up to what you already know and have experienced.\u00a0 You can realize, \u201cI already know this.\u00a0 I\u2019m just having the experience now consciously.\u201d\u00a0 It is as though the experience was asleep and something happens, so you become aware of what was unconscious.\u00a0 Instead of completely unconscious and unaware, it could be in part conscious and aware.<\/p>\n<p>The Traveler Consciousness works to bring us along as we are ready and can handle it, into greater spiritual awareness, releasing wherever we have placed limitations that are no longer necessary.\u00a0 Part of that action is clearing limitations that no longer serve the highest good.\u00a0 Is that\u00a0<em><u>my<\/u><\/em>\u00a0highest good?\u00a0 Yes, and it\u2019s also the highest good of all concerned\u2026 whatever would be required that is non-inflicting so that it does not harm anyone or anything.\u00a0 It takes into consideration everyone and everything.\u00a0 The only consciousness that I know can do that is God Consciousness because it takes complete awareness and knowing in order to make that a reality or be aware of that reality that is transcendent.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider we have an ultimately intelligent God.\u00a0 God would only do what serves for the best, not something that is \u201coff\u201d.\u00a0 I look at the things that are off, the negative things, as something temporary.\u00a0 They are not going to last.\u00a0 Even if they do last for an eon, that is still temporary.\u00a0 It is a limited time and dimension.\u00a0 As we move into Soul Transcendence, these limited dimensions become unlimited, unconditional, and complete in a whole way of being.<\/p>\n<p>The nature of what\u2019s taking place here in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness as we gather together in the light and love, is that we open up and release blessings to come forward and manifest.\u00a0 What you say or do can bring forward spiritual blessing.\u00a0 Often, it\u2019s just going to be done anyway, even if someone doesn\u2019t ask.\u00a0 We can move our consciousness into the greater, higher good.\u00a0 Let\u2019s do that in such a way that there is no limitation on what that is, meaning it\u2019s up to God.\u00a0 That is the grace of God which allows for God\u2019s possibility. That has been called out as without limitation or measure, with all things being possible in the power of God.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h5>Blessing of Anointing through the Traveler Consciousness<\/h5>\n<p>Lord God, through Your Christ<br \/>\nas it is anointed in each one of us,<br \/>\nas that flame, that we know as the Light,<br \/>\nas the illumination, that moves through all consciousness<br \/>\nilluminating our spirit and the presence of the Light and love for all.<\/p>\n<p>That we are those who gather in Your name,<br \/>\ncalling out in our dedication, as You have called us.<br \/>\nAnd we know that as coming home,<br \/>\nthat there is a rejoicing as we open our consciousness in Spirit,<br \/>\nthat can be heard and seen and felt.<br \/>\nThat we take hold of it here.<\/p>\n<p>We are those anchoring into this place, into this time,<br \/>\nright into this point here and now.<br \/>\nThat this is a blessing through the Traveler consciousness<br \/>\non all levels, with those who are the initiates and ministers<br \/>\nof God\u2019s love, light and sound.<br \/>\nIn your silence, we behold forever, forever and ever.<\/p>\n<p>And as we are amongst the beloved here, let us connect one to one,<br \/>\nagain and again to Your eternal spark<br \/>\nthat is the divine nature in each and every one of us.<br \/>\nThat we connect to this blessing going forward into the world.<br \/>\nThat we are invoking this presence<br \/>\nthat has been the spiritual promise in this day all the more.<br \/>\nAnd we know that this is done in Your grace and all the compassion,<br \/>\nthat we are released from the limitations<br \/>\nthat we know as the karma and as the darkness.<\/p>\n<p>In Your Light, in Your love, we celebrate.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h5>Watch a Blessing of the Christ in our Midst with John Morton<\/h5>\n\t\t<!-- Start of Brightcove Player -->\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div style=\"display: block;
