Heavenletter #5095 The Big Realization, November 6, 2014

God said:
Thou art I. Thou art I. Thou art I.

Is there anything more you, the so-called you, has to know?

It isn’t that everything else is a waste of time, not at all. Everything is for something. At the same time, everyone is gearing, whether near or far, to come to the realization that thou art I. This is the Big Realization.

Naturally, I am not talking about your saying these words and intellectualizing around them. I mean much more than the thought of the words. I mean the Reality where, suddenly, or slowly, you melt into the blessedness of Me. You stay in your body, and you do not leave it. You still carry it around, and you take care of your daily affairs, yet at the same time, instead of feeling separate from Me, you have separated from your body and all the identity that goes along with it. You are in your body and you know you are, and as you live life in your body, you express Me, Myself, and I. And that’s it.

In your own Reality, you have risen to My Essence. You become, as it were, I in all My neutrality and glory. You see as I see. You hear as I hear. You are out of the entrapment of ordinary life in the world. You still live in the world yet you no longer hook into that singular identity. You are merged with Oneness. Oneness has emerged from your Being. No longer can you hold out. You don’t have to wait to leave your body. You walk right into Me, as it were. The little you disappears. Bye bye, little you.

You give up nothing, and gain everything. You fly to the head of the class and merge with every fiber of your Being with Me. No longer can you stand apart from Me. Like attracts like, and you walk right in, still a body on Earth, yet you have awareness in Heaven with Me, centered in Me, adored in Me. Even in the midst of all the interchange on Earth, you have become I.

Every one of My children rises up to meld with Me and become Myself. Even as you participate in the dailiness of life on Earth, you have risen to Heaven. Behold, you know Who you are and, therefore, you know Me as Yourself. There is no departure from My love. You have acquiesced to My love. You have given yourself fully to My Light. Any difference between your light and My light no longer is imagined or adhered to.

Who is it that says you are other than I AM? What a dreary role to play, to take on any less than the Fullness of God, and parade around as less, most decidedly less. You wear a parade costume when you are the Celestialness of God. This is the State of Truth, and you will live it full-time. I have always seen the Light of Myself in you. It has always been there. You did not see. You saw amiss. Your eyesight was flustered, your heart and mind too, yet, at the same time, you had a glimmer of your Totality. Somewhere in the recesses of your mind, you sloughed off this glimmer. You decided it couldn’t be true. You looked askance at yourself, for when you cut yourself, you would bleed. If you hit your thumb with a hammer, it would hurt and you would yell. Even so, just the same, you are the Greater Reality that you have not seemingly, as yet, attributed to yourself.

And, yet, the day comes, when you forget about all this otherness. Once you were a child of ignorance who is certain that he knows what he is talking about when he does not yet have this solid knowing that he and I are One, and, furthermore, that there is no one else. There is One. Regardless of the multitudes, there is only One, not even a One of Us, just One, Me, God, that is, and, so, this is your Return to Innocence, and there is no We in Reality, only I, and no one else. I alone AM.

Subject: “Strengtheners of Good Character.”

Received by Valdir Soares.

Teacher Prolotheos: “You are primarily responsible for who and what you are. Early in life – between the ages of 5 and 6 – the human character develops, but only with maturity does it become truly sound. Good and bad influences certainly count, but decisions are the major factor. Character reflects some unique, unchangeable, and innate personality traits, but it also shows some changeable characteristics of the Self, formed through life’s decisions. Personal decisions can make a character good or bad, but good decisions spring from good principles. Honor your good principles, and they will honor you. Let’s take a look at some principles that strengthen a good character.

“Sincerity. Objective truth may many times be out of reach, but sincerity makes you truthful to yourself. Sincerity, unaided by love, is nothing more than a way to throw your ego or temper upon others, regardless of the consequences. Sincerity is to be honest, authentic, truthful with words and actions. Sincerity is a personal moral effort towards truth. Evil is never sincere because truth is incompatible with evil, since it springs from deceit, error and falsehood. Sincerity can be mistaken about content, but must be truthful in its intent – goodness. Hypocrisy will damage your character, but sincerity will make it reliable.

“Fairness. When on Urantia your Master said, ‘You will be judged with the measure you have judged others’ and ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ God is our supreme example of fairness because ‘He is no respecter of persons.’ He perfectly consider all factors involved and renders a perfect judgment. To you, in your present spiritual development, He says, ‘Treat others as you would like to be treated.’ Practicing the Golden Rule strengthens your character with loving consideration of others, because a good and strong character strives for fairness in all dealings to its best knowledge.

“Goodness. Love is basically expressed by goodness. Goodness is the main strength of character, because love never causes harm. Rather, love always seeks the ultimate well-being of the loved ones. To help make your character strong, goodness cannot be seen as an option, it must be your passion. A character built with love refuses to consciously practice evil and always insists on making good. Goodness cannot simply be a strategic move. More than being politically correct, it strives for being divinely good, following the paramount examples of our Creator Son. Goodness is indeed the indispensable ingredient of a ‘good character’.

“Therefore, my pupil, the virtues of a strong character are also the virtues with which the Spirit Within will strengthen and grow your soul. Those are the values that will remain with you throughout your morontia and spiritual careers, even for eternity. Equally important, these values will make your life on Urantia worth living, with a clear conscience of striving for the best and showing it to the best of your ability. They will not make you perfect, only eminently sincere, fair and good – which is what is needed. This is from Prolotheos, your celestial teacher. Peace to you all.”

Vairagya
There is a way to the immortal abode and supreme happiness. There is a way to the fourth dimension. That way is vairagya. Follow the way. Vairagya is dispassion, desirelessness or non-attachment. It is indifference to sensual objects herein and hereafter. It is born of and sustained by right discrimination.
Vairagya is the opposite of attachment which binds a man to the wheel of births and deaths; vairagya liberates a man from bondage. Vairagya purifies the sensual mind and turns it inward. It is the most important qualification for a spiritual aspirant. Without it, no spiritual life is possible.
The two currents of the mind - attraction and repulsion - really constitute the world of births and deaths. A worldly man is a slave of these two mighty currents and is tossed about hither and thither like a piece of straw. He smiles when experiencing pleasure; he weeps when in pain. He clings to pleasant objects and runs away from those which cause pain.
Wherever there is sensation of pleasure, the mind gets glued, as it were, to the object that gives pleasure. This is what is called attachment and brings only bondage and pain. When the object is withdrawn, or when it perishes, the mind suffers unspeakable pain. Attraction is the rootcause for human suffering.
A dispassionate man has a different training and has different experience altogether. He is a pastmaster in the art or science of separating himself from the impermanent, perishable objects. He has absolutely no attraction for them and constantly dwells in the eternal. He stands adamantine as a peak amidst a turbulent storm, as a spectator of this wonderful worldshow. A dispassionate man has no attraction for pleasant objects and no repulsion for painful ones. Nor is he afraid of pain. He knows well that pain helps considerably in his progress and evolution, in his journey towards the goal. He is convinced that pain is the best teacher.

The Taurus Full Moon taking place Thursday afternoon, at about 2 PM PST, is quite interesting, both because it represents the full flowering of the cycle that began with the very powerful Scorpio New Moon and Solar Eclipse from two weeks ago and also because the Sun and Moon aspectUranus, Pluto and Chiron. This Full Moon phase represents things that were begun at the time of the New Moon coming to another and more fulfilled juncture. Thus, ideas that you had two weeks ago are in a stage of important development now, with more information surrounding them and perhaps a different attitude as a result of two weeks of further experience with trying to find the light in what you are intent on accomplishing. As we go through this we have our inner depths in mind, because Scorpio is related to deep inner process, and because mystical Neptune is a key component of the astrology for this Scorpiolunation cycle, standing almost completely still in the sky and being therefore more powerful. This goes for our thinking and as well our intuitional awareness that goes beyond logical thought.

This component of deep inner process makes a perfect chime with Thursday"s lunation, because the evolutionary impact of Uranus in square with Pluto — as they draw toward the next perfect hit in mid-December, only a little more than thirty days away — is very strong right now. We are all called, whether we are directly conscious or only peripherally aware, to massive change in both our personal and our collective lives. While the difference to the exact square with Pluto narrows to less than 2 degrees, the Full Moonposition of 14 + Taurus matches within one degree that of Uranus in Aries, and of Chiron in Pisces. Thus theMoon is semi-sextile Uranus, sextile Chiron and trine to Pluto. The Chiron aspect could be regarded a measure of the pain and difficulty involved in taking up this challenge. On the same timing as this Full Moon, Marsmoves into conjunction with Pluto, greatly amping up the energy for potentially violent confrontation and for definitive action in support of meaningful change.

The Neptune factor is strong in this configuration, and grows even stronger in the following weekend, whenMercury enters Scorpio, trining a nearly-stationary Neptune in Pisces. It grows still stronger the weekend after that, centered on Saturday November 15th, when Neptune stations to direct motion. The spacey qualities and potential illusion and confusion associated with his numinous and otherworldly influence will thus be greatly magnified over these next two weeks. There is also the positive side of all this inner orientation to consider, in that a large part of who we are is within these same hidden dimensions of ourselves that Neptunerepresents. This emphasis therefore enables you, as the ancient text reads, to "know thyself!" We will all get the chance to tune more directly to spirit guidance, and to see the writing on the inner wall, so to speak, that can tell where we truly need to be heading.

The Sabian symbols for the Sun and Moon in this Full Moon configuration are, like Neptune, somewhat mysterious. For the Sun, in the 15th degree of Scorpio, we find "Children playing around five mounds of sand." This is a cryptic symbol, and it might be important to note in analyzing it that five is the number of humankind, as renowned humanistic 20th century astrologer Dane Rudhyar reminds us in his book on the symbols, entitled An Astrological Mandala. The play mentioned could therefore be considered as a metaphor for the work that we have before us to spiritually grow through the shifting sands of altered circumstances. Marc Edmund Jones refers to "new facets of discovery" and to "the illimitable capacity for [human] experience in any situation;" such as ours today.

For the Moon, in the 15th degree of Taurus, we have: "A man, muffled up, with a rakish silk hat." This symbol reminds us that nothing comes easy, and that in spite of relative success in the outer dimensions of life, there is still natural law to consider, symbolized here by the implied freezing wind. In his own particular commentary, Rudhyar refers to "braving the storm" and adds that the storm can come from outside oneself, or from the inside. This symbol describes the development of character, which, when adversity strikes, is ready to hunker down and simply get on with it — something that we all perhaps need during these times of difficulty, when our evolutionary mandate is calling us to direct and even confrontative action.
