The Spirit moves through the heart rather than through the emotional content. When the Spirit moves upon you, something that was tentative inside becomes solid. Something that you may have thought about Spirit or about God becomes firm inside, and you know that you know that you know. Doubts disappear and clarity appears.

You get what you focus on. So it makes sense to keep choosing and focusing on grace in every moment and to take the love and joy of Spirit with you wherever you go.

If you want to hurry up getting your next initiatory tone, you do more spiritual exercises. Then the Spirit in you gets stronger and starts to influence these levels. As it influences these levels, it starts to clear them faster.

In the Movement of Spiritual Inner Awareness, we invite you to consider that first and foremost you are a Soul. Once you log-on to that truth, then there are infinite opportunities to have greater experiences of your nature as a Soul. And to know your Soul is an experience of happiness and joy.

If you don't listen to the inner voice, it shuts off. The inner voice is noninflictive. And to awaken it again takes a lot of prayer, a lot of devotion, a lot of spiritual exercises. And I'll tell you a way it opens in a hurry: be of selfless service to the people around you. That opens the heart. The Spirit heart opens, and the communication of the Lord starts to come with you.

We would be much further ahead in this world if we worked more to make our own beliefs valuable to ourselves rather than trying to change other people's beliefs. And we would be even further ahead if we found the uniqueness of our thoughts, experiences and personalities and capitalized on them.

We need to come again to that place where we say to others, "I am taking total responsibility for myself and for my relationship with you and with anyone else inside of me. I do not blame you anymore for just being who you are because, truly, you are perfect. You don't have to change, and if you would like to change, that will be okay."

It doesn't work to try to change anyone's beliefs because if a person wants to change, they will do it alone - from inside themselves.

For those of us who know that we are of God, the responsibility is to live in love and to be loving in all that we do. By our consciousness, we can lift the planet - just by being present and by the energy of Spirit that is manifesting through us.

Question: Many times when I think of you, I will send you the Light or say, "God bless you" to myself. Does this help you in any way? Answer: Yes, it sure does. Thoughts are transmitted over long distances and we are affected on many different levels by them. Sending the thought "I love you" or "God bless you" can work wonders, and I appreciate it when you send those words to me.

The Light is a resolving consciousness so all can be transformed into a state that is clear and present with good for all. The Light is love and peace and harmony with all of the creation, all people and things.

If you have flaws, fine. Just do not focus on them; work on them. If you looked only at your flaws, you probably would not feel worthy to be here because you would see the errors of your behavior and the imperfections of your body.

Use the spiritual guidelines that say, "Take care of yourself and take care of others. Don't hurt yourself and don't hurt others." Those are two spiritual guidelines upon which to base your life, two guidelines that will never get you in trouble. Those teachings are of Spirit. Anything telling you to go against those teachings is not of Spirit.

Discipline is the prelude to freedom. Therefore we enter willingly into discipline to gain freedom.

If you walk into a dark, black hole with love and joy, you will find love and joy there. If you walk in with fear and anger, you will find fear and anger. Go into all the situations in your life with what you want to find there.

The nature of the Soul, of who we truly are, is happiness and joy. So consider this truth - happiness is your true nature.

Silently saying "God bless you" can certainly change people, but if you really want to watch them change in a hurry, silently say, "I love you." They become absolutely elated! The negativity goes, and the positive energy sweeps in.

The ego and the personality are restricted consciousnesses, and they cannot go into God, although God can come into them. When we begin to give up those restricted consciousnesses and their demands and desires, we may feel pain and suffering on those levels, but it is only because we are still holding on to the restriction and not moving into the freedom of Spirit.

When people move into a negative perception of their experiences they burden themselves with a heavy, gross consciousness that is anchored to this physical level.

This life is actually very easy: do and complete, do and complete, do and complete, do and complete - no karma. Say you are going to do and then not do - karma. Start to do and then not finish - more karma. Feel bad about all that - more karma. And when something happens that really disturbs you, get up instantly and release it.
