We can do things in how we care for the body, physical life, such that it becomes better and better.\u00a0 How would that be?\u00a0 By allowing our spiritual nature to come into what we are doing and how we are relating to what is present \u2013 with anyone and anything.<\/em> – John Morton<\/p>\n

This article comes from a Soul Transcendence Seminar John conducted on August 10, 2022.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In relation to Soul Transcendence, we are all visitors on the planet because of what we call \u201cbirth and death.\u201d\u00a0 We all go through that.\u00a0 We all have a moment where we take a first breath in the physical body, and then when we take a last breath.\u00a0 In between, with however many breaths we take, we are in a life process.<\/p>\n

I was having a chat with my wife, Leigh, as we were getting ready to join a lot of you for the \u201cBlessing This Day<\/a>\u201d webcast.\u00a0 I came to a realization not many people have a direct knowing or under- standing about, \u201cHow did I get here?\u00a0 What is this place, this world?\u201d<\/p>\n

We simply see that it happens over and over.\u00a0 A young child breathes a first breath in the way that we all did.\u00a0 Then something starts happening.\u00a0 A progression, plan, design, and it takes its course.\u00a0 There is some part of the course that says, \u201cOkay, that will be enough of that. We\u2019re out of here.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 It\u2019s called death.<\/p>\n

There is something about our consciousness that is limited.\u00a0 It\u2019s like we don\u2019t remember where we were or how we were.\u00a0 Science can explain it as molecules, chemical reactions \u2013 things like that.\u00a0 We can come into the factual nature of it.\u00a0 But we are coming into an understanding that we have a consciousness beyond our body and our life in this world.\u00a0 The Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness goes after that, making that our focus.<\/p>\n

I love that we have the teachings of John-Roger, the founder of MSIA, available to us.\u00a0 We have teachings in MSIA that go at who we are as a consciousness of the soul.\u00a0 That soul comes in somehow, some way, and takes a body.\u00a0 Then we go through a process called a \u201clifetime.\u201d\u00a0 We go through a process of many lifetimes as part of our existence and soul process.\u00a0 Through our teachings, what we do is find a way to realize what that is as much as we can.\u00a0 Let\u2019s consider the reality of that is we could have full knowing, knowledge, and awareness of who we are as a consciousness.\u00a0 When we really come into that awareness, we also realize that we are something more than a body, a \u201cthing\u201d, or something that incarnates.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m glad that at some level you are curious and interested.\u00a0 I have seen those who are attracted to what we do in MSIA as a kind of social grouping.\u00a0 Maybe some people have interest and intentions like finding a mate or companion.\u00a0 That\u2019s okay.\u00a0 We are a wonderful group for that.\u00a0 When we do that, we find out what goes on when we share karma.<\/p>\n

I look at that as in the grand plan, that we have an opportunity to learn and grow.\u00a0 We can take on greater awareness.\u00a0 In that would be knowledge that we can work practically here and now.\u00a0 It becomes practical knowledge, wisdom, or intelligence in how we go about our life.<\/p>\n

We come together with what we need to experience.\u00a0 That is one way I refer to karma.\u00a0 It\u2019s what we need to experience.\u00a0 Karma comes in through the law of attraction.\u00a0 It\u2019s also the law of cause and effect.\u00a0 In Biblical teachings, it is referred to as, \u201cWhat you sow, you shall reap.\u201d (Galatians 6:7) In the esoteric or existential, it\u2019s, \u201cWhat goes around, comes around.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s been said a lot of different ways.<\/p>\n

It also has to do with something very powerful about who we are in our consciousness.\u00a0 We are responsible creators.\u00a0 We have creatorship in this world.\u00a0 We have an ability to respond to whatever is present in our life.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s get practical.\u00a0 We are learning how to handle our life, so we share karma.\u00a0 Where we get the most learning is how we share the karma in relationships, however we all do that.\u00a0 Families are a place where it starts with a father and a mother in order to take a body. (Even when we now have the technology to do that in a petri dish.)\u00a0 How we handle these relationships and whatever comes to us \u2013 like it or not \u2013 is part of our evolvement.\u00a0 It\u2019s part of how we gain knowledge and wisdom about what works and doesn\u2019t.\u00a0 I find it is valuable to take a moment to evaluate that for yourself, however you go about doing that.<\/p>\n

If I come up to you and say, \u201cHey, how\u2019s it going?\u201d, how would you respond?\u00a0 Would you respond openly and honestly?\u00a0 Or would you come up with a pat answer?\u00a0 It might be what you\u2019d like to say or \u201cHere\u2019s what I\u2019d like to tell you\u201d, in response. \u00a0What is important is that you don\u2019t go too far or loose in how you run your truthfulness and honesty such that you become distant and separated from your divine nature.<\/p>\n

In the book,\u00a0Fulfilling Your Spiritual Promise<\/em>, John-Roger said, \u201cDishonesty forfeits divine aid.\u201d\u00a0 If you are going to work your karma, it\u2019s important that you are truthful with yourself.\u00a0 You want to be able to keep track of the truth more than your lies or misrepresentations.\u00a0 Misrepresentations can take up a lot of brain cells to keep up with whatever illusions and deceptions you are running as a way of living your life.\u00a0 At some point, you have to come into a reckoning.<\/p>\n

One of the great teachings that MSIA put out is you are not given what you cannot handle.\u00a0 You are given what you can<\/em><\/strong> handle. Consider what that means.\u00a0 It\u2019s always true at the soul level.\u00a0 It\u2019s always true with your true self.\u00a0 Your true nature is never disturbed or even shaken while work goes on in your life and in the world.\u00a0 If there is disturbance or upset, it\u2019s not at the soul level.\u00a0 It is not the true self.<\/p>\n

Maybe what that does is to wake us up.\u00a0 Do you want to create more disturbance, or do you want to cease disturbance?\u00a0 Do you want to bring it to a close and completion?\u00a0 That might be to stop whatever is unnecessary creation in your life and come into harmony and balance. Use what you have well enough to have more than you need.\u00a0 That is one of the measures of karma.\u00a0 Are you doing your life as an increase, as a surplus, so it\u2019s better than you found it? \u00a0Or do you become a need in some way?\u00a0 Do you become a dependent?\u00a0 Where does that go?\u00a0 If we\u2019ve been depending, attaching, obsessing or compulsing into material things, that builds up as what I call attachment and addiction.<\/p>\n

I like to remind people, including myself, the natural state of consciousness is vital, alive, and fully in harmony with all things.\u00a0 At times, the body may feel creaky and stiff, without the flexibility or mobility it used to have.\u00a0 Sometimes there is pain.\u00a0 Maybe pain anywhere you look, depending on how you relate to it.<\/p>\n

We can do things in how we care for the body, physical life, such that it becomes better and better.\u00a0 How would that be?\u00a0 By allowing our spiritual nature to come into what we are doing and how we are relating to what is present \u2013 with anyone and anything.\u00a0 Take a moment to evaluate that.\u00a0 How are you doing with bringing the spiritual nature into your life so\u00a0that<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is your awareness, inclination, motive, reason, and depth?<\/p>\n

Take a moment and look at how you are doing with how you relate to your life.\u00a0 Can you find something you would experience as happiness right now?\u00a0 Find your happiness.\u00a0 Go!\u00a0 Here is a key.\u00a0 You don\u2019t need to find happiness outside yourself.\u00a0 Your happiness is always available within.\u00a0 But if you do find it outside yourself, enjoy it!<\/p>\n

Blessing of Welcoming our Life<\/h4>\n

Lord God, we welcome our life.<\/p>\n

We embrace it — long lost friends perhaps —<\/p>\n

and get more attuned, more familiar<\/p>\n

with what is awkward, strange, or lacking in our life.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in cooperation.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in our abundance.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re in our flow of creating greater value, greater beauty.<\/p>\n

We see that we have great gifts to imagine.<\/p>\n

We see a world that is flourishing and harmonizing,<\/p>\n

a world where people take care of one another.<\/p>\n

Share the wealth.<\/p>\n

Share what we have.<\/p>\n

And we\u2019re also waking up to the blessing of Your patience<\/p>\n

that You have placed so well inside of us.<\/p>\n

So that when we come upon Your will being done,<\/p>\n

that every need is taken care of.<\/p>\n

And we are those who are making it right,<\/p>\n

putting it right,<\/p>\n

putting it back into place<\/p>\n

so that we restore this world to its paradisiacal glory.<\/p>\n
