So seeing and hearing with your spiritual eyes and ears would be your willingness to look and listen in every dimension. Seeing and hearing spiritually happens when you&#8217;re ready.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>What causes us not to see or hear spiritually? When we turn away and say, &#8220;I don&#8217;t want to look at that,&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t like what I&#8217;m hearing,&#8221; or &#8220;I don&#8217;t see it that way.&#8221;<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>If you can&#8217;t handle looking at what you see in the world, if you&#8217;re disturbed, upset, or out of balance by what you hear, then why would you expect God is going to let you see in every dimension?<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>If you want to open up yourself spiritually, you need to demonstrate that you can handle what you see and hear.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>When Jesus referred to those who have the eyes to see and the ears to hear, he was referring to that ability to see beyond what&#8217;s in the world, beyond the struggle and strife to the good that&#8217;s in everything. So if you want to see spiritually, see the good in everything. Love what you see.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>If you don&#8217;t know how to love something you see, you can ask, &#8220;How do I love this?&#8221; Then be prepared to follow that inner guidance. That will be another test of whether or not you&#8217;re ready to see. Your inner guidance will often come in like a whisper or in your own quiet voice. So listen. And love what you hear.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>What&#8217;s important is that you have a willingness to move beyond the physical, to what has been called the metaphysical, spiritual, or psychic areas of your consciousness. That&#8217;s done because you can. It&#8217;s not based on a physical ability. It&#8217;s based upon your intention, your willingness, and openness to move beyond your capabilities as you know them. So open up yourself to your unknown abilities.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>In MSIA, we use a technique called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/guided_ani_hu_meditation\">chanting a tone<\/a>. By chanting your initiatory tone or &#8220;Hu,&#8221; an ancient name for God, you vibrate the name of the Lord for yourself. We call it <a href=\"https:\/\/www.msia.org\/experience\/meditation-spiritual-exercises\">Spiritual Exercise<\/a>.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>I recommend that you do Spiritual Exercise as you enter and leave the world each day, like sunrise and sunset. There&#8217;s a transition as the soul is re-entering the flesh, a birthing of consciousness. It can happen many times a day, so you&#8217;re doing Spiritual Exercise as you walk through this world. You walk in that refined state, remembering yourself as a spiritually-charged being. You remember you are someone who is known and claimed by the Lord.<\/h5>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h5>It takes a lot of practice and tremendous ability to have your eyes and ears open into the physical world and still be open in the Spirit. So we are practicing. It&#8217;s not important that you understand and comprehend how you&#8217;re opening your spiritual eyes and ears as much as you claim that you are and you do it with love.<\/h5>\n<hr
