One of the temptations of this world is to take yourself out of your own salvation. You may be tempted to go off the path that\u2019s moving in the highest progression of your Soul. Get back on your path and at the highest rate you can handle. So it\u2019s not just, \u201cDon\u2019t stop.\u201d It\u2019s, \u201cKeep going as fast as you can.\u201d The fast I\u2019m referring to is that quality of greater good that goes towards greatest good.<\/em> This article by John Morton was first published in the New Day Herald in March of 2012.<\/strong><\/p>\n I look at all of us as being natural geniuses. We were born with innate abilities, gifts and talents destined for us to release and make manifest in this world. Some of our gifts we have yet to discover because they come forward through our life experiences. When we do discover them, it may seem that they have a life of their own as they bring forward great blessings.<\/p>\n As we go through our life experiences and have our encounters, we can look at reference points for how to do things for the highest good. We may consider who we admire, who we want to be like, who shows us the way, and who demonstrates what we want to do. These experiences awaken our natural abilities and innate knowledge about our life purpose as a Soul in this world.<\/p>\n I consider myself blessed to be one of those who discovered my life purpose, and I\u2019ve been trying to keep up with it ever since. It has led me to do all kinds of things that are fulfilling and nurturing as well as confounding and challenging. If you think that discovering your life purpose takes the difficulties and challenges away, that\u2019s certainly not how it has been in my case. If anything, the challenges may intensify. However, I look at what we\u2019re doing as it comes in line directly with one of the ground rules that John-Roger has identified, \u201cUse everything for your upliftment, learning and growth.\u201d<\/p>\n Consider everything really means everything<\/em>. There\u2019s no exception in using everything. Every moment of every day, every circumstance, interaction, feeling and thought can be used for our upliftment.\u00a0So use them all to gain. When we\u2019re engaged in that way, amazing things happen. Our life is illuminated in the brilliance of who we are.<\/p>\n It may not always feel uplifting in each moment, so I don\u2019t want to mislead you that it\u2019s always easy. I\u2019m not always clear in what I\u2019m doing. I just find that when I give myself a chance to be aware, then I realize I have a choice to love every experience as of God and for the greater good coming forward. I can try to deny it. I can run from it. I can make excuses. I can attempt to avoid it. I can make any number of choices, but by far the one that always works is to embrace each experience in the perfection of God\u2019s will. The best choice is to use everything for what it brings up as higher awareness, as an intention towards manifestation of the greater good.<\/p>\n At times, we may run into our fears, doubts, and self-judgments. We may feel resistant and find ourselves holding back.\u00a0We may then encounter others who can become our teachers, perhaps in the forms of those who test us about whether we\u2019re really committed and certain enough about what we\u2019re doing to continue.\u00a0For those of us who do find the way to be true to what that intention is by loving it all, great things can happen.\u00a0We find our gifts and our value in life. It is fulfilling to us, and we find fulfillment from within rather than being dependent on the results in the world.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re expecting that when you find your life purpose the world will love you and agree with you, I haven\u2019t found that to be the case. Instead, I have found that having this connection inside, this awareness of who we are as Souls and as one with God is the key to upliftment. Souls who incarnate in this world do so in the perfection of God\u2019s will. I know of no exception to that. At birth, there\u2019s an embodiment of the consciousness of the Soul intact. We come into this world a living, breathing being with the individualized God aspect, that element of the Divine that is necessary to be a human life and fulfill the human existence. We have all of what is necessary for the Soul to fulfill itself so that the negativity and the experience of the worlds of illusion eventually complete and return back to the nothingness from which they came.<\/p>\n The material existence, no matter how dark, disturbing, or negative, serves the Soul, and brings experiences that enlighten, illuminate and liberate the Soul from the necessity of this existence. What is the necessity of this existence?\u00a0 To enlighten and fulfill the realization of the Soul. Why does the Soul come in here for that?\u00a0Is there something lacking about the Soul? The Soul comes in for a reflective experience of itself. The Soul is extremely patient and willing to endure eternally until whatever is needed to be completed for the highest good is finished. One of the primary messages in this Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness is: “endure and to endure until the end.” What end is that? When God verifies, when God confirms. How would we know that?\u00a0God does it. So give it to God. God determines that moment.<\/p>\n The human existence allows for repetition. It allows for re-embodiment. From a human perspective we can look at that as something dysfunctional. You might ask, \u201cWhat\u2019s the matter with those people? Why don\u2019t they just get it in a lifetime and be done with it? Why do they have to keep repeating?\u201d<\/p>\n My recommendation — and obviously it\u2019s been here in the wisdom pool that\u2019s with us in this world — is don\u2019t judge. Just consider that there\u2019s perfection in all that takes place. So whatever people do, there\u2019s a perfection. It fits in God\u2019s grand plan. If you look upon it and from where you are in your consciousness realize, \u201cThat\u2019s not for me. I don\u2019t see that as in line with what my life is here to realize and experience,\u201d that\u2019s your wit. And if it isn\u2019t your wit, you\u2019ll soon find out.<\/p>\n We\u2019re all designed to come into a realization of who we are, and this world is designed to reflect it to us as much as we can handle. If we resist, if we reject, that just emphasizes endurance. Maybe it will be a little longer; maybe it will be a little later. Why? Because you may not be choosing what\u2019s available to you now. You will choose eventually, so there\u2019s no rush. There\u2019s no urgency or \u201chave to.\u201d That sort of thinking can create a kind of consciousness that shows up in greed, avarice and lust and trying to differentiate between experiences that are \u201cbetter\u201d and \u201cworse.\u201d \u00a0Don\u2019t indulge in any negative process, as that does not serve your learning and growth.\u00a0When we wake up to the present opportunity, we naturally realize to move on to what does serve learning and growth and what works for us without judgment of our experiences.<\/p>\n With increased awareness of the goodness always present, you can realize there are no destinations. There\u2019s no place to go. There\u2019s nothing we have to do. Yet, we are here.\u00a0So we might as well make ourselves useful in whatever way that may become. Maybe the reality is this world could use a little more quiet.\u00a0We can find the quiet that\u2019s within us and offer that up. If someone judges us or comes against us because we\u2019re too quiet or they don\u2019t like our quiet ways, we can just find some more quiet until the Lord moves us to do something better.<\/p>\n My point of view is we could use a lot more peace and quiet in this world. We could use a lot more joy and happiness. What that allows for is, \u201cDon\u2019t worry.\u201d Don\u2019t be concerned about others in a way where you delay, become bothered or depressed, or you\u2019re in some way impeding your own progress. Move back on track to your peace and joy which is always present within.<\/p>\n One of the temptations of this world is to take yourself out of your own salvation.\u00a0You may be tempted to go off the path that\u2019s moving in the highest progression of your Soul.\u00a0Get back on your path and at the highest rate you can handle.\u00a0So it\u2019s not just, \u201cDon\u2019t stop.\u201d\u00a0It\u2019s, \u201cKeep going as fast as you can.\u201d\u00a0The fast I\u2019m referring to is that quality of greater good that goes towards greatest good. It also translates in a practical sense to: \u201cjust do the best you can.\u201d<\/p>\n Be compassionate with yourself, and look for simple ways where you can turn away from something that would be your downfall or lead you into something that is unnecessary and cause unnecessary pain or suffering. If you do find yourself off track, then forgive yourself for forgetting you are divine. Remember, we\u2019re all in God\u2019s hands. God loves all of Its creation. So each and every moment of your experience is a gift for you to embrace in the divine and perfect progression of your Soul.<\/p>\n WATCH A BLESSING WITH JOHN MORTON<\/strong>
