I would like to extend what blessings I can to those who reach into the world, because you are going to need every one of them.\u00a0 I would like to bless you with talents, abilities, fortitude and strength.\u00a0 But to those who are going on the inner path, I would offer the blessing of endurance.<\/em> – John-Roger<\/p>\n

There is one consciousness here and that is the consciousness of God manifesting as joy.\u00a0 When you tune into that joy, you tune into the love and then you have tuned into the spiritual consciousness.\u00a0 It’s been called Soul or Spirit.\u00a0 You could call it the “God of your heart.”\u00a0 We call it life.\u00a0 There is only one action here and that is your individually moving your spiritual awareness from point to point inside of you.\u00a0 Life in its greatest sense of the word is awareness.<\/p>\n

We can feel the Spirit through love.<\/p>\n

We can hear the Spirit through laughter and joy.\u00a0 There are so many avenues that it has placed upon the planet for us to follow.\u00a0 Find the way that works for you and work that way.\u00a0 Then you’ll find out that you are moving into a state of awareness and that this awareness brings a form of enlightenment.\u00a0 As you begin to hold the energy of Spirit, you will gain greater knowledge of the loving it brings.<\/p>\n

Everyone on the planet holds keys to the spiritual consciousness.\u00a0 By following spiritual precepts, you strengthen your inner Light.\u00a0 The precepts are very simple, but not necessarily easy to adopt.\u00a0 Acceptance is the first rule of Spirit.\u00a0 If you are going to follow a spiritual path, you may have to let go of your negative attitudes and accept other people as they are as members of God’s family.\u00a0 For others of you, it may be a process of accepting that you, too, are members of God’s family.<\/p>\n

We are not placed here to become beggars.\u00a0 We are here to become fulfillers.\u00a0 We become that which is the experiencer and that which experiences; that which creates it and that which reaps from it.\u00a0 That is the nature of the spiritual consciousness.<\/p>\n

How do we get this?\u00a0 By conviction, the conviction that it exists.\u00a0 How do we get conviction?\u00a0 By a belief.\u00a0 How do we get a belief?\u00a0 By faith.\u00a0 How do we get faith?\u00a0 By hope.\u00a0 How do we get hope?\u00a0 Because of our desire to rise above the negativity we’re in.\u00a0 Thus, negativity can be the grand starting point by which we move ourselves.<\/p>\n

When we express in the world, we are seeking for knowledge.\u00a0 No one in an eternity of lives here can know all there is to know out there.\u00a0 This knowledge, this intellect, is overwhelming.\u00a0 The mind cannot begin to comprehend or hold it.\u00a0 It wearies because it is a mechanistic quality in us.\u00a0 The fastest way into Spirit is to turn within and work from the knowledge of the Self.\u00a0 Each Soul, as it awakens, will come to this same path of understanding.<\/p>\n

I would like to extend what blessings I can to those who reach into the world, because you are going to need every one of them.\u00a0 I would like to bless you with talents, abilities, fortitude and strength.\u00a0 But to those who are going on the inner path, I would offer the blessing of endurance.\u00a0 For those who keep the spiritual law to the end, who endure all things, will receive the most precious gift from Spirit \u2013 eternal life through eternal awareness of every level of our existence.<\/p>\n
