Who you really are is fun and joy.\u00a0 And if you can move into that and enjoy yourself, then probably 90% of what you want to do on this planet will be accomplished.<\/em> – John-Roger<\/p>\n

Who you really are is fun and joy.\u00a0 And if you can move into that and enjoy yourself, then probably 90% of what you want to do on this planet will be accomplished.<\/p>\n

Some factors that keep us from accomplishing are addictions, habitual responses and reactive patterns.\u00a0 They demand on the energy.\u00a0 There are times that you’ll be so tired that you don’t know how you can be so tired.\u00a0 So you sit and rest until you get your energy back.\u00a0 While you’re sitting and resting, what we call the subconscious, the addictions of the subconscious, are still pulling on the available energy that’s in the body.\u00a0 It’s like having a balloon that is filled with water and you punch little holes in it.\u00a0 As you stand there and hold it, the water is squirting out all over and you wonder why.\u00a0 So you put more water in the top but the water keeps going out.\u00a0 When does that end?\u00a0 First of all you need to plug up all the holes.\u00a0 Say, “I’m not going to do that.\u00a0 That’s done.\u00a0 I’m finished with that.”<\/p>\n

The most obvious level that we deal with is the physical level.\u00a0 In the level just below the physical is the one we call the subconscious.\u00a0 That type of thing is where you try to remember your wife’s name and you can’t.\u00a0 Or you try to remember what day you were married or the birth date of somebody or when your first kid was born and you think, “Oh, if I just had a hint.”\u00a0 So you say, “Let’s see, I graduated in…oh yes, I graduated in 1952.”\u00a0 That would be a demonstration of the subconscious working.\u00a0 What happens with the subconscious is that the more pressure you push on it to pull anything out of it, the more it locks itself down.\u00a0 So what you have to say is, “Oh, who cares.\u00a0 I graduated in 1952.”\u00a0 The information just comes right back up.<\/p>\n

Whenever you run something through your mind and you figure it out, that’s a conscious expression of what you’re doing.\u00a0 The subconscious is when it’s there, you’ve done it and you know you’ve done it.\u00a0 The next level is what we call the unconscious.<\/p>\n

The unconscious level functions in a different kind of parameter than the subconscious.\u00a0 The reason that it’s unconscious is because you don’t know it.\u00a0 What could you possibly have in the unconscious that you don’t know?\u00a0 Everything that goes into that lower level is put in there consciously, everything.\u00a0 Some is put in there subliminally, which means just barely conscious.<\/p>\n

Have you ever been watching television and dropped off to sleep and had a dream and started incorporating the television program into your dream?\u00a0 Have you ever been driving down the road in your car and you know where you’re going but in your mind you’re thinking about something else and you miss your turnoff?\u00a0 When these things happen, you are not functioning on a conscious level.<\/p>\n

We start projects mentally, emotionally or physically and say, “I’m going to do this and this and this and this.”\u00a0 In the unconscious, all of those “I’m going to’s”\u00a0 that were not finished are little hooks that hang out in the unconscious energy levels of the body.\u00a0 As you’re rolling through life there’s a good chance that all of these little hooks will grab out and hold onto a lot of things.\u00a0 Maybe you had a girlfriend who walked out on you and now there is another one who reminds you of her and you like her but you don’t know why.\u00a0 People who are clairvoyant see it in the stomach chakra center.\u00a0 It’s just spinning around, hooking on to whatever comes into your life.\u00a0 Every one of these projects demands a level of energy.<\/p>\n

When you don’t have sufficient energy and are too tired and don’t know why, you might want to look at what you’ve started and what you haven’t completed.\u00a0 The consciousness inside of us, the human consciousness, is one of completedness and completingness if it is focused.\u00a0 For instance, we rarely start to eat without thinking we’re not going to finish.<\/p>\n

We always have a goal out there that we’re going to accomplish.\u00a0 The unconscious doesn’t care.\u00a0 The energy doesn’t care.\u00a0 How can you stop it?\u00a0 You stop it consciously.\u00a0 If you start to read a book, close it and say, “I’m finished.\u00a0 I’m not going to read anymore.”\u00a0 That’s all the consciousness has to hear because we are the ones who declare the end of things.<\/p>\n

It’s important to keep in mind that energy follows thought.\u00a0 If the thought isn’t complete, the energy keeps going.\u00a0 It doesn’t care about your intention.\u00a0 My mom used to tell me, “Son, the way to hell is paved with good intentions.”\u00a0 And my dad used to mutter, “Yeah, and he’s got a two-lane highway going.”\u00a0 Actually it was a four-lane highway.\u00a0 I was doing things they didn’t know about.\u00a0 I blamed it on genetics.\u00a0 Did that make any difference?\u00a0 No.\u00a0 Because if blaming made these things go away, we would take the energy that is being used in the lower levels and reverse it to the higher levels.<\/p>\n

You might say, “But I don’t get to read the book if I close it and put it down and say I’m finished.\u00a0 I didn’t get out of it what I wanted.”\u00a0 Well, what are you getting out of it while it’s sitting on the shelf and you’re thinking about reading it?\u00a0 Nothing — the same thing.\u00a0 But at least you’ve gone through an action of completedness.<\/p>\n

When we decide we won’t do it, we sit down to rest.\u00a0 This is the law of Spirit.\u00a0 It’s like the law of gravity.\u00a0 It doesn’t care.\u00a0 It doesn’t matter what you think or feel.\u00a0 Energy follows thought and it will go until it’s completed.\u00a0 You can complete anything anytime you declare it.<\/p>\n

When you do not make a decision, when you do not decide to decide, it’s called decision by default.\u00a0 The default decision is worse because you rant and rave against the fortunes of life.\u00a0 When you don’t decide, a decision is made for you.\u00a0 In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness we say, “Be careful what you ask for because you’re going to get it.”\u00a0 And when you do get it and all the little its that follow it, you say, I didn’t ask for those.”\u00a0 Yes, you did.\u00a0 They were connected.<\/p>\n

“Well, if I’d known that, I wouldn’t have asked for it. “That’s why I say, “Be careful what you ask for.”\u00a0 And when it does come your way you have to be prepared to handle it to completion.\u00a0 If you don’t, you must re-do it.\u00a0 The unresolved, uncompleted things that you are responsible for will pull you back into completion.\u00a0 It will pull you back whether you like it or whether you don’t like it.\u00a0 It doesn’t respect your likes and dislikes.<\/p>\n

We must demand on the Spirit — not mentally, not emotionally, but by the physical movement of the body just to have the energy supplied to us.\u00a0 That’s why you have a physical body.\u00a0 If I stand here and decide I can’t move until I get more energy, I’ll stand here for an awful long time because there’s nothing inside of me saying I need more energy.\u00a0 As soon as I start moving and saying I need more energy, it starts rushing to me because I’m using up what I’ve got and what I had that I’m getting through this conscious level here.<\/p>\n

Part of how we drain off the energy is to say, “That’s too much.\u00a0 I can’t do it.\u00a0 I can’t read ‘Gone With the Wind.’ Look how thick that book is.”\u00a0 Can you read a thin book?\u00a0 “Sure.\u00a0 I’ll open the book and just read one word at a time.”\u00a0 That’s the same way you read a big book.\u00a0 The process of getting a big job done is the same as getting a little job done.\u00a0 It’s a cinch by the inch; it’s hard by the yard! Cut the thing down to inches and do it.<\/p>\n

The key is doing.\u00a0 The doing process is physically picking up your body, walking it down, driving it, and walking it back again.\u00a0 If you think, “How many more trips do I have to make?”\u00a0 you enter into the mental level and that draws off the same energy field.\u00a0 No wonder you walk around tired.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Healing takes place when you complete your life patterns and your goals.\u00a0 This is extremely important because energy becomes immediately available to you as a conscious, awake person.\u00a0 This means there are no areas inside of you that are asleep.\u00a0 People who have bad eyesight have an area inside of them that is sleeping and that is the area they look from and it can’t see.\u00a0 So what they have to do is amplify everything so that they can see.<\/p>\n

The way out is in.\u00a0 We all know that the way out here only leads to more out here.\u00a0 No matter how beautiful it is, how it glitters, what the glamour is, no matter what it is, it’s going to corrupt and decay out here.\u00a0 You’re going to have to maintain it and maintain it and that takes energy.<\/p>\n

When the energy is converted back to completedness, by wholeness, you end up in an area called holiness.\u00a0 When you complete the actions, your energy becomes present and you have a feeling of completedness, of wholeness, but that’s still not the end.\u00a0 When you think you’ve got it made, you add the word etcetera.\u00a0 Keep going.\u00a0 Let it declare the end to you.\u00a0 Once you start declaring the end, you may declare too soon against yourself.\u00a0 Don’t do things against yourself.<\/p>\n

We teach what is known as Spiritual Exercises because from this level there’s no way we can transcend the levels of consciousness through our own will or our own volition because of the ignorance that is part of us.\u00a0 I call it the divine unknowing.\u00a0 We just don’t know.\u00a0 That doesn’t make us bad or evil or wicked.\u00a0 But in that divine unknowing resides all of the divine.\u00a0 So obviously, that’s the direction.<\/p>\n

We go up to a higher source and from there we bring down the energy.\u00a0 We call it doing Spiritual Exercises.\u00a0 We exercise the Spirit, the Soul, by pulling the energies from that vibratory frequency more and more until it starts to push down into the physical levels.<\/p>\n

Energy will follow the body form.\u00a0 Misuse the energy, put the energy in the wrong place and the body will build its form around it.\u00a0 Start to use the energy in a correct way — right thinking, right feeling, right action — and the energy starts moving into the areas that have been blocked or closed off.\u00a0 The body starts aligning itself spontaneously.\u00a0 It will jolt, move around and straighten itself up.\u00a0 When that energy is present, it makes everything liquid.\u00a0 It makes everything smooth.\u00a0 It lines itself up, reforms itself according to conscious thought and according to the pattern of your behavior.\u00a0 And if you don’t change your behavior, it’ll go back to the previous condition.<\/p>\n

This age that is upon us is an age of collective we-ness, us-ness.\u00a0 We’re getting away from the selfishness into the selfing.\u00a0 Go ahead and start living your life where you are.\u00a0 Jesus was born in a manger to show you that you can start from where you are.\u00a0 You don’t have to wait until you get to the throne until you take off.\u00a0 Start where you are right now.\u00a0 Don’t repair anything.\u00a0 Don’t fix anything.\u00a0 Let this moment be the starting point and just go up from where you are.<\/p>\n
