“Do the mundane things…but within that activity, listen very closely to the sound of God inside of you.\u00a0 You might hear the Traveler say, ‘Come, my beloved, and we will travel the high country.'”<\/em> – John-Roger<\/p>\n

This article by John-Roger was first published in the Movement Newspaper in January 1980.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Mystical Traveler brings you the experience of God and the Spirit.\u00a0 If you allow it, the Mystical Traveler can work with you in ways that you could not calculate with even the most rapid and most sophisticated computer on the planet.\u00a0 Long before you can even think to ask, the assistance is already present, through the Mystical Traveler consciousness.<\/p>\n

The Traveler will work with you, but you have to learn to sit down and be quiet and chant some of the spiritual exercises that are designed to be the bridge between your physical consciousness and Spirit.\u00a0 They are the bridge, and the stronger the bridge, the more it can support you.<\/p>\n

The more you can focus on Spirit, the more you will be aware of Spirit.\u00a0 When you can get yourself out of the “right field”\u00a0 of your negative thinking and the “left field” of\u00a0 your negative emotions and pull yourself into the “center of your being,”\u00a0 you’ll find out that the Mystical Traveler has been there a long time, waiting for you.\u00a0 At that moment, you may find out what divine love is all about.\u00a0 You’ll feel that loving quality that has patiently waited for your awakening…\u00a0 while letting you experience all that was necessary for you to experience, and letting you experiment around with your consciousness and discover all the things that don’t work.\u00a0 The Traveler will let you take all the time you need, and then when you turn towards yourself, which is toward the inner form of the Traveler, you’ll hear him say, “Come, let’s go together.\u00a0 There is a place prepared for you.”<\/p>\n

You can turn into Spirit anytime, ”twenty-five” hours a day, “eight days a week.\u00a0 There is no time that you are not present in the spiritual form.\u00a0 There is no time that the Traveler is not present with you.\u00a0 You are being shown the path into Spirit, into God, into your true home-all the time.\u00a0 All you have to do is recognize that.<\/p>\n

When I am working with people, through the consciousness of the Mystical Traveler, I work with them all the time.\u00a0 I might have them traveling in soul consciousness while they are driving in their car or doing the laundry or any other daily activity.\u00a0 For the first few times people might feel a little sleepy, but then they get used to that and learn to hold more of the spiritual energy, and it doesn’t present any difficulty to them.\u00a0 Some days you might feel exceptionally sleepy, and you might say.\u00a0 “Gee.\u00a0 I could just lie down and drift off to sleep in no time.” It might be that you are completing some things on some other levels, and a lot of your consciousness is involved in levels that are not the physical level.\u00a0 Instead of getting upset or impatient with yourself when you feel like that, you might just say, “Thanks a lot,<\/p>\n

Lord,” and do methodical things that don’t take a lot of your concentration and attention.\u00a0 You might want to scrub your floors that day or do the dishes or wash the car.\u00a0 Do the mundane things…but within that activity, listen very closely to the sound of God inside of you.\u00a0 You might hear the Traveler say, “Come, my beloved, and we will travel the high country.”<\/p>\n

Sometimes you hear that and say, \u201cWhooppee!!” and that shock of enthusiasm blocks your awareness of what is taking place. Sometimes it’s best to just acknowledge what is happening and flow along with it, just observing what happens next.<\/p>\n

There is nothing that the Holy Spirit cannot do for you.\u00a0 All things are possible.\u00a0 Sometimes it will comfort you.\u00a0 In the midst of your depression, your misery, your anxiety, you might feel a sense of peace and well-being and Joyful loving come across you …\u00a0 and you’ll just lose all sense of anything being amiss in your life.\u00a0 You’ll feel centered and warm and loving toward everything and everyone.\u00a0 That might be Spirit coming in to assist you by bringing balance into your consciousness and comforting you in the time of your need.\u00a0 Other times you might be going along feeling okay about things; you might even be feeling a little too proud and that you have the world by the tail.\u00a0 And all of a sudden, things will start falling to pieces around you.\u00a0 Maybe your car breaks down, your relationship with your spouse gets a little rocky, the job starts falling out from under you, all sorts of things start going “wrong”.\u00a0 And believe it or not, that could be the Holy Spirit coming in to shake you out of your complacency, to disturb your comfortable, routine ”stuckness” and to give you a little abrasion to help you reach for the next level and continue your pattern of growth.<\/p>\n

If things are going too well, sometimes you get a little lazy and stop your growth.\u00a0 When that’s the case, Spirit will often come in and stir things around for you a little bit.\u00a0 It’s all part of your growth and progression…and it will happen in whatever way is for your highest good, whatever way is in your best interests.\u00a0 The Holy Spirit will never initiate any action that will harm you or hurt you.\u00a0 It’s fail-safe.\u00a0 It will not inflict itself upon you or be an active force in your life without your asking.\u00a0 If you are committed to work within Spirit and toward your own growth, then the Holy Spirit will work with you for your highest good, and will do whatever it takes to lift you into greater and greater awareness of Spirit and your own divine nature.<\/p>\n

The Spirit, the Traveler Consciousness, doesn’t necessarily work with you the way you think it’s going to work with you or the way you might like it to work with you.\u00a0 It works with you in the way that will work, in the way that will assist you to learn and to complete those things that are necessary to your karma, and in the way that will assist you to complete the divine plan that you incarnated here to complete.\u00a0 It’s perfect.\u00a0 And if you let it, it will transform your life.\u00a0 When you open your consciousness to it and recognize that Spirit can be a transcending force in your life, then it can step forward and touch to you in the most dynamic ways that you can imagine.<\/p>\n

You might hear a story or hear someone tell a joke, and suddenly, feel a surge of emotion as you realize, from some deep intuitive place within you, the full impact of the story or the full significance of the joke or the implications that they hold for you in your life.\u00a0 A simple story can take on many, many meanings and open up areas that you never even considered before.\u00a0 That could be the Spirit working within you.<\/p>\n

The Spirit, the Traveler, will use any tool to awaken you.\u00a0 It might be a seminar that awakens you to new levels.\u00a0 It might be seeing someone on the street and suddenly knowing who that person is, beyond their personality or their physical appearance.\u00a0 It might be your child telling you that he loves you, thus awakening a place within you that you never knew existed before…as you truly see your child as God’s child and know that you are only his guardian on this level for a little while.<\/p>\n

When Spirit reaches into you and breaks loose levels that have been hidden or stuck, you may be flooded with the most beautiful and wonderful realizations.\u00a0 Spirit will awaken you in the timing that is right for you.\u00a0 The blessings are entirely present all the time.\u00a0 Your job is to be aware of Spirit’s blessings as they unfold to you and to know that all things that happen are right and perfect in their timing…and to accept Spirit’s presence in your life and the guidance that it brings to you.<\/p>\n

The greatest key to knowing Spirit is loving.\u00a0 When you are in a state of loving, you are more aware of Spirit, of God, of the consciousness of the Mystical Traveler.\u00a0 My nature is loving and joyful.\u00a0 When loving is present, I am present.\u00a0 I only work in love.\u00a0 When you are in a state of loving, you will find me present within you and then it is so easy to lift you into a greater awareness of Spirit.<\/p>\n

People say they want to love.\u00a0 It’s easy, just love.\u00a0 If you find that difficult, just think of something that’s special to you.\u00a0 If you’re a vegetarian, think of a nice fruit salad.\u00a0 If you’re not, think of a big, juicy steak.\u00a0 If you’re thirsty, think of a cool lemonade.\u00a0 If you’re a parent, think of your child.\u00a0 If you’re in love, think of your lover.\u00a0 Find that feeling inside that teaches you how to love.\u00a0 And then shoot it out into Spirit, into the Traveler…and it will be sent back to you, double.\u00a0 Then take that into you…feel it spread throughout your body and consciousness and then send it back out…and it will come back, double.\u00a0 It’s a beautiful way to build the love that you have within you…and you may be astounded at what can happen as you start to work the love more fully within yourself.\u00a0 You’ll find that in giving, you receive more than you ever- imagined possible.<\/p>\n

Use love in all that you do.\u00a0 Be loving in all your dealings with other people.\u00a0 Keep that focus always present within you.\u00a0 It creates a bond that goes so much deeper than the outer expression.\u00a0 It is the connection between the God in you and the God in others.\u00a0 And as you exchange that love, the Soul stirs and gains strength.\u00a0 And in that strength you start to find out who you are.\u00a0 I could tell you who you are, but until you find out for yourself, it doesn’t work.\u00a0 And when you find out who you are, you’ll know who I am, because I am also you.<\/p>\n
