It is important to take a look and ask, “Are you happy?\u00a0 Are you satisfied? Are you making your life better today and making life around you better so the world is better because you are here?”<\/em>\u00a0– John Morton<\/p>\n

The following article and blessing come from John\u2019s sharing in May 2022 with capstone students in the Peace Theological Seminary\u2019s Transcendent Leadership Program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everybody is already blessed.\u00a0 One oddity is people who have great blessings ask for more, as though they ran out of blessings!\u00a0 No, they did not.\u00a0 You haven\u2019t even begun to receive and work the blessings. They are yours to receive and develop as part of your growth.\u00a0 The blessings show up and you become greater.\u00a0 They will endow you.<\/p>\n

Blessings bring in something that lasts, even if it\u2019s only for a day, like water.\u00a0 What also lasts is the water you need coming to you.\u00a0 The awareness is, \u201cWhat I need is always with me.\u201d\u00a0 That applies spiritually. Spiritually, there is never anything lacking.<\/p>\n

Who you are, your true self, is a spiritual being.\u00a0 If you ever think or perceive yourself as lacking, it can be an opportunity to care for yourself in the lower nature.\u00a0 That would be physically, emotionally and mentally.\u00a0 Do things such that those levels relax, and you can say, \u201cI\u2019m happy and satisfied.\u00a0 I\u2019m not needy or running desire as my focus.\u00a0 I\u2019m focusing on my Soul\u2019s purpose.\u201d<\/p>\n

That is the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.\u00a0 It\u2019s the field and the stream.\u00a0 It\u2019s a path.\u00a0 It has movement, so we are already in it.\u00a0 As we wake up, we are accepting how it is and releasing our attachments to what is no longer working.\u00a0 Maybe something was true at one point in our evolvement, but we hang onto it as a way of doing life.\u00a0 You are not there anymore. You have what you need.<\/p>\n

You have water in your system.\u00a0 There is water nearby, at hand.\u00a0 \u201cWhere?\u201d\u00a0 In that plant.\u00a0 It\u2019s in the leaf.\u00a0 Suck the leaf.\u00a0 \u201cWhat?\u201d\u00a0 If you do that long enough, you\u2019re going to get it.\u00a0 It comes in a chemical resolution where you absorb it much more efficiently.\u00a0 The cells of the plant help you absorb the water.\u00a0 It matches up with the need level. There is a more effective way of hydrating if you make yourself available to how your life works.<\/p>\n

The metaphor is that you are in a life that is blessed and blessed beyond your ability to let it bless you.\u00a0 The restrictions are your own restrictions, but you can still ask for greater blessing.\u00a0 There is greater blessing.<\/p>\n

What is really needed is to realize what is already present and demonstrate that we are responsible creators in this world.\u00a0 We match up with this level in such a way as we thrive in the world.\u00a0 You could say, \u201cI\u2019m a Master of the world.\u00a0 I could be happy in this world.\u201d<\/p>\n

There are greater worlds that call to you with greater opportunity for what you are learning on your way.\u00a0 We start understanding that what we are doing here is transcendent, multi-leveled and multi-dimensional.<\/p>\n

If we don\u2019t get along with the people we are involved with (under our roof, in our neighborhood, community, or in the world we meet) we struggle, fight and resist.\u00a0 That\u2019s not being a responsible creator.\u00a0 That is an irresponsible creator.<\/p>\n

It is important to take a look and ask, \u201cAre you happy?\u00a0 Are you satisfied? Are you making your life better today and making life around you better so the world is better because you are here?\u201d<\/p>\n

That is a sign of spiritual harmony.\u00a0 We make the world better than we found it.\u00a0 Then we are an asset to treasure.\u00a0 Often opportunities come our way because people want more of what we bring as the ability to make things better.<\/p>\n

Happiness is a state of mind.\u00a0 You can learn how to have that state of mind regardless of circumstances, including internally.\u00a0 Internally is the \u201cfinal frontier\u201d in the psychic levels.\u00a0 We are learning how to master ourself with the conditionality we do not control in the material worlds.\u00a0 We\u2019re not here to control that.\u00a0 We are here to direct ourselves, so we have free choice where we want to go.\u00a0 Make that something that you already have inside of you and bring it forward from your highest consciousness.<\/p>\n

We always have the opportunity to bring forward what is coming from the Soul.\u00a0 It is more present because we open ourself up, letting it be more present.\u00a0 That is especially available when we are open and free in relation to restriction, laws, and conditionality present. It can be a beautiful mastery because you are happy no matter what.\u00a0 Then you do things that resonate with your happiness, which is a simple thing.<\/p>\n

If we are doing something in such a way as we\u2019re happy, it\u2019s often because we are in harmony and things aren\u2019t clashing with us.\u00a0 That is an extra bonus.\u00a0 Our life is delivering us happiness and then we join in. That is easier than if we always have to be the one making the happiness.<\/p>\n

It\u00a0is a great ability to know, \u201cI can be happy because I choose to be happy and choose to do what makes me happy.\u201d\u00a0 Then, when happiness comes around, it is also shared with you.\u00a0 You receive greater happiness from your life.<\/p>\n

You may realize, \u201cI didn\u2019t create that, or I don\u2019t deserve that.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s not that you are reaping what you are sowing.\u00a0 It is graceful happiness.\u00a0 You realize, \u201cHappiness is coming to me.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s a beautiful life.<\/p>\n

We are all in the blessings present.\u00a0 I am very happy to speak to the blessing.<\/p>\n

Blessing in our Ordinariness<\/h4>\n

Thank You, Lord.
\nWe are those in Your presence, in Your name, again and again, over and over.
\nThank You for that opportunity, that you set the table.
\nYou invite us to join You and what You would do in Your ordinariness,
\nthat we may be with You in our ordinariness.
\nYour mind is that this is a condition just prior to God.
\nThat we\u2019re in our fundamental elements, breathing, enjoying each other, because we can.<\/p>\n

Being in the peace that\u2019s present, because we can.
\nLooking to one another in appreciation, and we can because we\u2019ve been receiving the gifts of one another.
\nWe\u2019ve been rising to the loving of one another, making room for the grace of one another.<\/p>\n

What comes is the gift of the Soul and the Soul Consciousness that breathes each one of us.
\nAnd to be in that Master Consciousness, where we have risen to the occasion.<\/p>\n

We have been led, so we lead, and in this way we are holding for what\u2019s next. And what\u2019s next is that divine presence we call God and the knowing of God.
\nWe\u2019re still in fellowship.<\/p>\n

So whatever has been the circumstances to challenge us, to teach us,
\nto bring forward to learning, has also been the joy, the privilege, the greater
\nopportunity.<\/p>\n

Then we\u2019re joined by those who have prepared the way and those who are in higher consciousness, joining us here, in this way, that we cross over. We transcend.<\/p>\n

We find that it\u2019s already prepared in our celebration and jubilation that becomes joy beyond measure.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fun, however you see that. The greatest party ever.
\nThe return of whoever answered to the prodigal one.
\nWhat culminates as a beginning is the opportunity to do this work
\nwhere we find ourself in this world.<\/p>\n

So then consider you are called, and the way is prepared.
\nIt\u2019s a joy to be with you.
\nWelcome Beloveds.<\/p>\n
