Consider that our life and nature is ongoing.\u00a0 Therefore, we are in our <em>\u201claters\u201d<\/em> now, because the <em>\u201claters\u201d <\/em>are ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>One of the signs is that we have more joy.\u00a0 There is a place in the scripture that says, \u201cMan is to have joy and to have it more abundantly\u201d (John 10:10). We are all in favor of that.\u00a0 We can also be in fulfillment such that we are in joy right into this moment.\u00a0 Each of us can call ourself forward into the joy.<\/p>\n<p>That is a way I relate to the energy of MSIA \u2013 pure joy, more and more each day.\u00a0 We can move that into each moment.\u00a0 We have a Spirit that works with us regardless.\u00a0 No matter what we are, what we become, what we do or don\u2019t do, God loves us anyway. It goes on and on.\u00a0 Even as much as the love is present, it is going to continue.<\/p>\n<p>Consider the power of God.\u00a0 That is a name for the creator for all of us.\u00a0 We have a creator and it is to increase the love.\u00a0 Are you in favor of that?\u00a0 However you respond to that question is the choice you are making.\u00a0 If you say, \u201cYes,\u201d then you are choosing more love.\u00a0 Maybe you said, \u201cNo, I don\u2019t want more love because I just end up getting hurt, disappointed and ripped off.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve heard the interpretation of love as, \u201cIt\u2019s just trouble.\u201d\u00a0 Sometimes the conclusion is love is not real.\u00a0 There is no such thing as love.\u00a0 I beg to differ.\u00a0 We have a vote for what love is.\u00a0 Exercise that vote.\u00a0 You are a creator in how you vote.\u00a0 That\u2019s one of the teachings from John-Roger, the founder of the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness.<\/p>\n<p>This Movement functions in freedom, as does the spirit of who we are.\u00a0 That spirit is free to come and go with the body.\u00a0 That is one of the ways we call out this movement, that we go with the Spirit from the body into soul awareness.\u00a0\u00a0 That becomes spiritual awareness.<\/p>\n<p>The soul individualizes, but it also moves into the Spirit.\u00a0 It would be conscious in how the Spirit is conscious.\u00a0 This is transcendent of the soul.\u00a0 The soul surrenders its individuality to become one in the Spirit that is in everyone and everything.\u00a0 This is transcendental awareness, beyond the body.<\/p>\n<p>There are dimensions of this we could call levels.\u00a0 One level is the astral.\u00a0 I relate to the astral level as what we can imagine or \u201cimage in.\u201d\u00a0 Then we have emotions, referenced as the causal level.\u00a0 Mental is mental.\u00a0 The next one, the etheric, is kind of mysterious, because it is unconscious.\u00a0 It has been referenced as \u201cthe void\u201d or what I would call emptiness.\u00a0 You may say, \u201cI don\u2019t feel anything.\u00a0 I don\u2019t have thoughts, images or sensations that something is present in the emptiness.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is still not spiritual awareness.\u00a0 In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we consider we are found.\u00a0 John-Roger said, \u201cNot one soul is lost.\u201d\u00a0 What comes through Spirit into this world is the soul consciousness conducting itself down into each level.\u00a0 It has to change form.\u00a0 It is a transformation all along the way in iterations \u2013 form upon form upon form.<\/p>\n<p>There is a phrase attributed to Jesus. \u201cIn my house there are many mansions.\u201d (John 14:2) There are worlds without end, meaning they are still in creation.\u00a0 They are still being created in some way.\u00a0 That is something we could relate to, like stars.<\/p>\n<p>Let\u2019s consider Abraham in this Movement.\u00a0 Judaic, Christian and Islamic heritages all consider that Abraham is involved.\u00a0 I don\u2019t know how many people are from Judaic, Christian and Islamic traditions, but it\u2019s a lot.\u00a0 Whatever the iteration is in the individual aspect, it meets up in the Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>This is the movement we are in.\u00a0 We focus on spiritual awareness.\u00a0 There is a line in this.\u00a0 There has always been somebody on the planet doing the movement of spiritual inner awareness.\u00a0 It is not about an organization of a personage.<\/p>\n<p>Another attribution to Jesus is, \u201cGreater is he within you than he who is in the world.\u201d\u00a0 (John 4:4) That is how we do this \u2013 from within.\u00a0 Do we need an organization?\u00a0 From my point of view, no.\u00a0 But could an organization help you?\u00a0 Could somebody help you?<\/p>\n<p>What if you had somebody who could show you what you are looking for?\u00a0 Something in truth \u2013 not fake or fraudulent.\u00a0 Somebody showing you what you are looking for and seeking.\u00a0 There could be something like a guide, saying, \u201cCome on, I\u2019ll show you.\u201d\u00a0 That\u2019s how I relate to it.<\/p>\n<p>It is far more than information.\u00a0 Good luck if you are just seeking information, because I don\u2019t know that it can come from the information.\u00a0 We need to have the experience.\u00a0 Experience is a way to the conscious knowing.\u00a0 I often find that is eliminating what I don\u2019t need to be aware of.\u00a0 It\u2019s like removing a fog or what is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the obstruction, restriction or transgression is, \u201cI moved off my path.\u00a0 I somehow got distracted and I lost my way.\u201d\u00a0 That can be something that leads to who we are, often by the choice to let it go.\u00a0 We can realize, \u201cThis is unnecessary experience.\u00a0 It\u2019s not working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>We can feel like we lost our way.\u00a0 It can be, \u201cI didn\u2019t mean to. I wasn\u2019t trying to lose my way.\u201d\u00a0 Perhaps you did something like anticipation which became expectation.\u00a0 You didn\u2019t follow by watching.\u00a0 You put in something imported from expectations or opinions.\u00a0 This is quite common.<\/p>\n<p>There is a practical way in the world.\u00a0 If you are thirsty, what does that tell you?\u00a0 \u201cI want some water.\u201d\u00a0 Does everybody know thirst?\u00a0 We have that in common.\u00a0 If we are thirsty, going towards dehydration, that can be a form of losing our way.<\/p>\n<p>One of the things we teach is practical spirituality.\u00a0 John-Roger put it like this, \u201cTake care of yourself.\u201d\u00a0 That means everybody.\u00a0 We all have a responsibility to take care of ourself, to have enough water and oxygen so the physical level can be a springboard to higher levels.\u00a0 We want to progress, to go forward in who we are.\u00a0 If we are dysfunctional at the physical level, it makes it more difficult to be in harmony with the Spirit.<\/p>\n<p>We do this from the inside out.\u00a0 It\u2019s inside of you.\u00a0 It is within.\u00a0 Seek it there.\u00a0 One of the practices we do is spiritual exercise.\u00a0 I look at it as how we worship.\u00a0 We worship within to the highest God.\u00a0 That is who we pray to.<\/p>\n<p>How do you know you are praying to the highest God?\u00a0 If it is in my heart, I am heard all the way to the highest God, because God is in my heart.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4>Blessing of Praise and Joy<br \/>\nFrom John\u2019s book <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/shop\/product\/blessings-here-and-now\/\">Blessings Here and Now<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>Lord God, we ask for Your blessing on each one of us here.<br \/>\nWe give thanks that you have chosen us.<br \/>\nYou make Your truth known to us like water pouring forth from deep within.<br \/>\nYou are a wellspring of knowledge, strength and inspiration.<br \/>\nYou are the force of love and caring and joy.<br \/>\nIn our own way, we accept Your hand upon us, right now, touching to us.<br \/>\nYou make us straight and clear.<br \/>\nYou heal us from those things that we have made issues and conflicts.<br \/>\nYou heal us from that which is our darkness, our dis-ease.<br \/>\nWe stand up free with clear rejoicing, praising You,<br \/>\nOur beloved Lord whom we serve.<\/p>\n<p>Baruch Bashan<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the messages in the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is, \u201cWe are in our \u2018laters\u2019 now.\u201d\u00a0 It is time to get on with our life, however that is to become.\u00a0 In the Spirit, what it is to become is the very best.\u00a0&#8211;
