Love is giving everything and taking nothing.

 Blossom Goodchild - November 8, 2014 I was just taking some time to tune in for today’s
session, when out of nowhere, the song ‘Consider Yourself’, from the musical ‘Oliver’, came into
my mind. The chorus ran through my head and I smiled …
'Consider yourself ... at home; Consider yourself ...
one of the family. We’ve taken to you ... so strong, its clear, we’re ... going to get along. Consider yourself
... our mate. We don’t want to have ...no fuss, for after some consideration we can state, consider yourself ... one
of us!
I realise that was sent through from you ... and thought you may like to use this as today’s
topic? Good morning, by the way! And to you we state … Good morning, also. We are
happy that you allowed the freedom of mind to bring forth these words of song. For indeed, we are family. You are One of
us … We are One of you. Here lies a topic that would warrant consideration
… in considering yourselves to be considered as One of us. Do you mean from the
point of view that we are all One? You know, all that we have been talking about? From
a certain angle, yes. Yet, have any of you ever considered … and we know some of you have … that you have chosen
to come down into the physical Earthly form to assist and experience ‘Life’ as it is ‘down there’
… yet, you chose to do so from having being counselled from one of ‘our homes’. I.e., one of our ships? Well, that doesn’t seem too drastic a leap of understanding. I would imagine many have, as many I hear from,
KNOW they are from elsewhere … different planets, stars systems etc. Can I ask? Do those of The Federation who reside
on Light ships … also have a ‘planetary’ abode? Or, is their home purely based on board, so to speak? Each One has a planetary home should they desire. Yet, we do not think in terms of ‘time’ spent away
… for this differs from your explanation of time. We can be away from home for long, long adjustments … Yet,
when needed, ‘our souls’ can return in a Nano second … in order to recoup and replenish and rebuild in
Energy … to continue on, aboard the ships. This is not necessary for all. What
we would like you to understand, is that when we are speaking of The Federation … we are speaking in terms of a vast
Family of Light. This incorporates many Galaxies and Universes. Can you consider how huge that is? Nope! Not really, to be honest. When you consider your
planet and all those living upon it ... humans, mammals, insects plants etc. … all living within the same plane and
yet, all with such different methods of ‘living’ to suit Each One. I.e. Cultural, geographical base, etc.
You would find it difficult to express how it was for ALL to live … for each functions differently ... according to
their needs. In the same way … those not of Earth have many, many different cultures and residences to suit THEIR
desires. Tell me, here we are on Earth, many awaiting for ‘Our merging’
… meaning … acceptance of those from elsewhere and allowing that to become common place for the betterment of
All. Are WE the only planet awaiting your arrival in a more open fashion, or do other planets share the same dilemma? Are
there Beings on other planets that perhaps think ‘THEY’ are the only ones in existence etc? No. It is common knowledge on all planets that ‘others’ have form elsewhere. Do they accept Beings from other places readily, or are some a little apprehensive … or even ‘protective’
of where THEY reside? Again, many answers can be given and we would say that each scenario
that you could possibly think of … would be a case … a situation … somewhere ‘out there’. Why is it then, that our tiny little planet has such trouble in coming to terms with ‘others’ not from
Earth? What is the big hold up? Why all this secrecy? For one suggestion, we would
say that ‘LIFE’ is developing as it should and we are preparing for this as you know. Yet, were you not going to give it a whirl six years ago … and it had to be aborted? If you were ready to
‘try’ it then … why is it taking so long to ‘retry’? Because,
we are determined that when these ‘showings’ take place … that all is in alignment and that THIS TIME
… NOTHING would interfere. Our GRAND PRESENTATION that was suitable in
the year of 2008 has been reconsidered and there is much that we have understood from reactions and non-reactions ... as
to what did and what did not occur. I believe in these past six years, many, many more
have ‘joined the force!’ Many more KNOW now, that there is ‘something other than us’ and are so
ready to greet it. We KNOW also, that we ‘down here’, have raised the vibration in LOVE to a Higher degree and
we shall remain here and continue to do so. Yet, there are many, many who FEEL that outside assistance would not go amiss.
They FEEL that the ‘state of affairs’ upon this planet has gone way too far off track, and as we are ‘part
of the same family’ … it would be greatly appreciated if you would just start letting those who don’t know
of you … KNOW of you! You have the ‘know how’ to do it in a way that would not bring any fear …
yet, allow people to know where you come from … LOVE. You know me, I’m never going to give up on this little
puppy, because it was YOU that got me on to all this in the first place. And we thank
you for never giving up. It’s so difficult to stay on track. We started off talking
about some of us coming from your ships. Indeed this is so … to come to Earth
as part of the Divine plan … in the KNOWING that WE WILL ALL UNITE DURING YOUR LIFETIME UPON THE EARTH PLANE.
Yet many, I imagine have already been and gone again? If
it was arranged in this way ... for that particular soul. I guess it doesn’t matter,
apparently nothing does! Yet, in OUR TRUTH as ONE BIG FAMILY … can you honestly say that in my life time … this
GLORIOUS EVENT shall occur? Should all go according to the Divine plan … Yet, if it is Divine … surely it WILL? Precisely. Then …? Because, there is STILL FREE WILL Blossom. Free will is an integral
part of the Divine plan. Yet, if WE are making The Game up as we go along … and
‘the dice’ are ‘our choices’ … why haven’t you shown us yet, in a bigger fashion,
that you are ‘walking down this path alongside us’, when so many of us CHOOSE this to happen? Are we not speaking with you now and telling you so? Oh chaps! You know what
I mean. We FEEL what you mean. Yet, do you not also FEEL … that you KNOW better
than this? Yep! In that … WE ARE WITH YOU.
And for those of you that KNOW your mission … you KNOW that you shall
continue forth … expanding IN/AS/THROUGH/LOVE until such time … when that which YOU KNOW will take place …
DOES. AND HOW YOU SHALL REJOICE. Would
you say that it is governments and those ‘above’ governments that stop your procedure, more than the fact, that
many would ‘pop their clogs’ on the spot, because their Beings were unprepared? Without
question, there is undermining of who we are … on a very large scale … to prevent us from having a ‘picnic
out’. This, as you KNOW … is Highly involved … and the very reason of ‘our abortion’ in your
year of 2008. There is great fear among the ranks of those who do not understand who they are … YET, LOVE CONQUERS ALL DOES IT NOT? Without question
or doubt. Then why … just indulge me a minute, my friends … can’t
you just do something in our skies to give us a leg up? As I have said so many times before … folk down here
are tired. Yes, we came here as the strongest of the strong … (and by the way, I am wonderfully fine right now. ) Yet,
many are not. Their hearts and mine … again ask you to consider a ‘Federation spectaculaire!’ Our
Earth sure is in need of the UMPH! Anyone will tell you that. Maybe that wasn’t part of the plan before we came …
yet, now we are where we are … we are asking for a change to that agreement. ( ? ) Come on guys … get your glad
rags on … it’s party time! Blossom … in response to that, we desire
to say … that contrary to what many think/believe … these remarks of yours are not thrown into the waste paper
bin. They are put Highly on the agenda of consideration. I am laughing, as you know,
when I say … ‘Maybe there are a few ‘oldies’ on the board of directors, that need to retire and be
replaced with some new, Highly evolved, Federation Youngsters, with new ideas to suit the needs of the troops on the ground. Maybe so. Ah dear! You have to laugh. Maybe, I am just making this all up.
Maybe, you are just a figment of my imagination? Yet, without your imagination, we would
not be able to correspond with you at all. So … imagine on, Blossom. We … FOR One, AS One of part of your vast
family … are grateful that you do so. The thing is … I think about this
often … sometimes, I wonder if we (You and I) are actually making a difference. Other times, I KNOW we are. Either
way … deep in my soul … I KNOW that I came here to do this … it’s an agreement I made. I can change
my mind any time I want … yet, at this stage I have no intention of doing so. We
are in joy to hear that. I am always in joy to partake in these conversations. Onwards
and upwards … Oh, that’s right … there is no onwards and upwards … Eh … Here’s to ever
moving energy! I LOVE YOU! Thank you. Bye for now. * The Federation Of Light speak of LOVE. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RmsCqVjqSss. Website: Blossom Goodchild

Heavenletter #5097 Looking Out a Taller Window, November 8, 2014 God
said: What an experience is life in
the world. What a diversion from the True Reality. What a contradiction the world is. How predisposed you are to contradictions,
which are, ultimately, opposites. You have a mixed-up relationship with life in the world. You are rampantly pro and con.
You judge the world mercilessly, and you are attached to the world just the same.
One day you were born to Earth.
“What on Earth for?” you may wonder now. “Why am I here, and what am I meant to do while I am are here?”
Endless
are the possibilities, and there seem to be no secure niches for you much of the time. There may be more than one actuality.
I have said before that you don’t have to know what it is. You will get there. Some recognize. Some do not. Nevertheless,
you will fulfill what you set out to do. You are the fulfiller of it.
That you are on Earth is greater than a
mystery. You love a mystery, yet life may seem more like a dilemma that you find yourself in. You may feel that, in life,
you are picked up by a big hand and placed in an arbitrary place with arbitrary people who have the say over you. You can’t
wait to grow up and have some say over yourself, yet you still don’t feel much jurisdiction over yourself. You have
to earn a living. You have to live somewhere. There are obstacles underfoot, and you crave so much more.
Life
may seem to be more about craving than having. Life may seem to be more about paying bills than giving. You may find life
more suffering than joy. You really are suspicious of life. A common theme is: “What is then life? Why me? Why here?
Why now? What am I doing here? How long do I have to stay here?”
And yet you don’t want this life
to end. You do, and you don’t. Pretty much you hesitate about an end to yourself.
The good news is that
you do live forever. Presently, you are human being. You are always Being. You can never die. Only physical bodies die.
You,
however, are a Shining Star who shines throughout Eternity. You are the Apple of My Eye. I look into you, and I see Myself.
Would that you would look to Me and see yourself. Yes, it is all about what you see and what you don’t see. My eyesight
is good.
Now, what shall We do about you who suffer in the world and have too much abstinence from joy? Just
a tiny change in your vision will make all the difference in the world. Sometimes you walk with your eyes closed as if in
a stupor, and you don’t go forward.
You’ve got to know that your life is worth living. Yes,
yours. This is paramount. Who would want to live a life not worth living? Dear One, you gotta boost your own spirits. If you
are on a decline, then you’ve got to incline yourself to a different angle. One tiny inclination can turn your world
upside down, or, rather, right side up.
Take Me with you. Consciously, take Me with you. Say:
“C’mon,
God. Let’s get somewhere today. Come with me, and We will make great strides. No longer will I sit still and stay confined.
Come with me, and I will show You all the treasures that You have bequeathed to me. You will see me take off in a new direction.
On Your behalf, God, I lift my spirits. For You, I will love this day and make it lovable and worth loving. I set my sights
higher. I look out a taller window because, God, You are with me. All I have to do is to stay with You.”

The Violet Flame Speaks by the Violet Flame Consciousness
| | The Violet Flame Speaks by
the Violet Flame Consciousness
Channelled through Natalie
Glasson- 7th November 2014- www.omna.org I am the consciousness, light and vibration
of the Violet Flame, anchored from the higher realms of the Creator’s universe into all dimensions as a representative
of the purification energy of the Creator. I am a source of light, an aspect of the Creator focused upon transmuting and transforming
energies into a truthful alignment and acceptance of the Creator. Let me be as one with you, as we work together to dissolve
illusion. In order for transmutation and transformation to take place one is required to be willing to let go of illusion
especially within the mind and personal creation manifestation. While the energy, sensations, feelings, vibrations and consciousness
transforms within your being it is the mind and mental body working with the spiritual body and soul which brings forth manifestation
and experience of transformation. My purpose as the Violet Flame is to work with your thought forms, your patterns and habits
of creation, projections and manifestations as well as erasing all mental stress caused by confusion and illusion. I work
closely with the physical body dissolving the presence of disharmony which is a co-creation of the mental, emotional and even
spiritual bodies, thus I work with your manifestation and projection ability, aligning your manifestations to the Creator
and the truth of your soul. It is time to take responsibility
for your physical reality; you are the key and core creator of your physical body and physical reality. Everything you are
experiencing now is your choosing or more truthfully is evidence of your choosing in the past as closely as yesterday, last
week and last month. With acceptance of the responsibility of your own ability to create and the evidence of your creation
even down to the clothes resting upon your body you allow yourself to move into a deeper recognition of co-creation with the
Creator. With acceptance you can allow my energies to more deeply permeate your entire being as you allow my energies to co-create
purification with your being. You are always co-creating every aspect of your reality with the Creator eternally. The key
is to co-create consciously and aligned to the purpose of your soul and the Creator. In order for aligned and meaningful or
fulfilling co-creation with the Creator there is a need to purify your being and erase the illusions you hold onto in order
to make space within your being and reality, for the divine flow of the Creator which is rightfully yours. My consciousness
as the Violet Flame is seen as the beginning of the divine flow of the Creator, you could say I pave the way for conscious
experience of the divine flow of the Creator. When Saint Germain gifted my consciousness, energy and presence to all, Saint
Germain did gift healing and purification, although these are the results my presence, the main gift was to allow the acceptance
of the divine flow of the Creator. When you recognise the divine
flow of the Creator you are realising your connectivity to all aspects of the Creator, your equality with all aspects of the
Creator as well as your divine right and ability to receive and express the Creator. Welcoming and accepting the divine flow
of the Creator is to acknowledge a reality living your truth as you permit yourself to eternally consciously with understanding
and knowingness recognise the Creator eternally, within you, around you and working through you. I, the Violet Flame, act as
the tool for awakening and permitting this awareness which is your natural awareness to be restored. Healing and purification
are the results of my presence and co-creation with you and yet my true purpose is to open your energy thus dissolving all
that stands in your way of recognising the Creator within you. Your greatest limitation is
your perceptive especially if you are unwilling to honour the natural need for your perceptive to alter and expand. Your greatest
freedom is your ability to access and process consciousness, the consciousness of the Creator to be exact, thus opening yourself
to limitless possibilities, opportunities, understanding and creations. I am present with you and available to you to erase
and purify all aspects of your perspective which limits your ability to connect into and express the consciousness, wisdom
and intuition of the Creator. Let me be of service to you, enhancing your strength of your spiritual being by connecting you
on a deeper level with your intuition. When all illusions within your perspective are erased and their impact or patterning
upon your physical body and reality then you will give space for your intuition, the divine flow of the Creator and the truth
of your being, which equal the same. ‘I now co-creating healing
and purification for my entire being with the Violet Flame of transmutation and transformation. I recognise my request as
a symbol of my intention to dissolve all forms of illusion, limiting perspectives, unhelpful attachments to unneeded energies
and all resistance to recognition of the divine flow of the Creator. I recognise myself as being available to co-create beauty,
love and abundance with the Creator. I recognise myself as being available to connect with and express eternally the sacred
consciousness of the Creator in my every present moment. Violet Flame I work as one with you now, recognising you as an aspect
of the Creator, I also call to work with me the love of the Angelic Kingdom to bring love, peace, ease and comfort to the
transmutation and transformation occurring within my being, perceptive and reality now. Always in gratitude.’ Imagine your soul as a flame
igniting from within your heart space, covering and embracing your entire being. Then imagine yourself surrounded by my energies,
the Violet Flame. Let your soul energy and the source of all that I am simultaneously exist. Imagine two flames surrounding
you and moving through your entire being co-creating as one. I am working with you on all levels of your being. Know the Angelic
Beings of Love surround you sending their loving vibrations into your entire being creating a trinity. We all represent to
same, the truth, love and expression of the Creator in manifestation. In this space illusion is dissolved and new expansive
consciousness is accessed thus healing and purification is noticed. You can also call upon my
energies, the Violet Flame accompanied by the Angelic vibration of love to dissolve all unneeded and unaligned projections
within your current manifestation patterns. ‘Violet Flame I allow
my thoughts, perspective, patterns and projections of manifestation and creation within my reality to be available to you
for transformation, manifesting my natural ability of creation, projection and experience in complete alignment with the Creator.
Always in gratitude.’ You may also wish to use this invocation: ‘Violet Flame, please
come to me when I am confused or distracted by illusion, make me aware of your presence and let us together co-create my realised
alignment with and as the Creator, thus bringing clarity and knowingness to my being and perspective. Always in gratitude.’ I encourage you to call upon
my energies, the Violet Flame and allow my vibration to fill and surround you accompanied by Angelic love which supports smooth
and easy shifts of transformation within your being. While I surround you and move through you, say the affirmation: ‘I am available to accept
and express the sacred consciousness of the Creator.’ This will alter and shift
you on so many levels of your being as I dissolve all that is a resistance to the affirmation and your intention, this will
be a process of co- creation. Similar to your own energy
and truth I also have more expansive aspects of my being, there are so many expressions and variations of my consciousness
such as the White Violet Flame, the Pink Violet Flame, the Golden Violet Flame and the Pearlescent Violet Flame. As you exist
in numerous dimensions in diverse and evolving forms so do I, you may recognise my more expansive aspects come to you to co-create
with you for your personal enhancement the more you work with my energies. I, the Violet Flame, am present
with you and all of humanity to bring forth a shift of new consciousness by inviting all forms of restriction created within
your being to be dispersed and dissolved, thus influencing the ascension of all and the manifestation of the Era of Love.
Call upon me, speak with me, share with me what you wish to heal, let go of, release and that which you wish to manifest,
express and experience. I will begin my work of co-creation with you. Know when you feel your boundaries,
foundation and all you recognise fall away or old energies restore their presence within you, you can be sure transmutation
and transformation is occurring on a major scale within your being which will impact your physical reality upon the Earth. I Am That I Am, Always in gratitude, Violet Flame Consciousness Read More |

(9:52 - 64:16)
Greetings
Beloved. Yes, it is I. Of course, I rarely speak in person, but today is a special time. And I want to tell you, when I say,
"It is I," this is not the way I usually think of myself. I am, yes I am, the one they call "One," but I am also a group consciousness,
an awareness of All That Is.
I speak with a voice, but I have no voice. I speak with you everyday through your mind,
through your feelings. Now, when I say I have no voice, I have not made myself known as a person because up until now, humankind
has a way, you now, of worshiping, of changing who we are or what we say into something that seems unreachable or unintelligible.
I can speak with you, of course, but I wanted to be known.
Just as Creator, the one you call Prime Creator, has told
you: we do not sit on a cloud and think angry thoughts about you. That's probably a description of a parent you've known.
But it does not fit who we are.
In the messages that Creator has given you, he/she has told you about their beginnings,
about learning to create - learning to create a Universe. For that was the destiny of your Prime Creator. To be one, who would
create Universes. And so, we worked together for many many eons, as I do with those who are my children. You see it matters
not to me what your parentage is. You all lead back to me, don't you? For I have been the Source of all things. Yes, in the
Multiverse.
Now, you often think of me as the center of the Universe, the one who sends you the energy. It is I, but
with the help, of course, of your Creator, who is in charge of your Universe. There are many, many, many Universes.
I
cannot describe to you what it looks like from where I observe, but I can tell you it is thrilling. It is thrilling for me
to look out upon the work that we have done. For I have done very little of it all alone. And I cannot describe myself that
way except for the fact that your English does not allow for the same kind of communication that I can send to you when I
give you pictures to go with the words. I am doing that now. Open your minds and open your hearts, and you will see what I
see.
A Universe is an intricate, fascinating... well, would you call it a 'thing?' It is more an experience: multi-layered,
complex, fascinating. If you are a scientist, you understand why there is such curiosity to understand how all this came to
be. Your scientists on Earth have not yet come close to understanding. Some of the spiritual people do, to a larger degree.
They understand that creation is the process that you have been told about.
When a feeling and an intention, a thought,
are melded with passion - that is Creation.
The lovely song you just heard (opening of the show), the words about:
"we've been moving mountains long before we understood that we could." It is true. You do have the power to do wondrous things.
You're only just beginning to learn. This has been a training process for you.
Of course, when you re-enter the higher
dimensions, it is much easier. But this experience you have had - this experience of living a life on Terra - it will serve
you well. The people that you have known, the Souls you have traveled with, the love you have felt for one another, it changes
everything. When you return to higher dimensions, you will carry with you this great love that you're learning to express,
to experience, to enjoy. And those you have felt these marvelous joyful feeling with will remain in your energy field, in
your heart, forever. Once you have loved, that connection remains for eternity. It is a very good system, isn't it?
The
times you've been upset or angry or the people you have disliked will all melt away because they are shadows. They are not
part of creation, and therefore, they will not be recorded in the same way in your record of what you feel about the world.
The love, you carry for eternity. The difficulties you felt here - not matter how terrible they may have seemed at the time,
no matter how discouraged you might have been - all will melt away. And what you will come away with is the excitement, the
fascination, the thrill of learning, experiencing this brand new life you have never experienced before.
No one has
done what you are all doing together. In this, you are fascinating. All of you - yes you are. I look upon you with great pleasure,
with great love. I smile, when I watch how you struggle, how you fall down, trip yourself, stand back up and begin again.
You are brave and very lovable. I have watched your progress as a species.
Creator's message yesterday was very important
because he made it very clear. There is a great difference between the species humankind and the Soul that you are. Now, in
the process of this life on Earth, we encourage you to embed yourself entirely into this body you were given because this
is how it's meant to be experienced. Do not be in a hurry to remove yourself from this body. In fact, take it the opposite
direction. Reach down deeply. Connect with every cell, every nerve fiber and especially with the deepest part of your heart.
This
is an experience like no other. It has been provided for you for a very special reason: you wished to do this. We consulted
together. This great plan was the making of so many Souls together. And you know, in the process of the planning and the design,
and the hopes and the dreams, there was no dissension. There was no argument.
The
representatives, the Souls, who have experienced many lifetimes, the ones who spoke in favor of this great plan, received
unanimous approval. There were no nay-sayers, "Oh no we can't do that; we can't get all of us together to do the same thing."
You have an expression, "like herding cats." Well, there were a few people who said things like that, but no one said it couldn't
be done.
You see how resourceful and creative and filled with hope you all are, when you allow yourselves to reach
deeply into Who You Are. For you are in this body the combination of the Soul that you have been for eternity and this beautiful
body that was created especially to reflect who we are, and in order for you to understand, I will say, "Who I am."
You
have been told in recent years, you are Gods and Goddesses. It is true. For you carry the spark that is who I am. And so,
you - all of you - are me. We are one. When you experience joy, when you experience the excitement of creating something new,
that is who I am. That is what I feel. We are not different in that way. I have given you the elements, the aspect, the facets
of Who I Am - some of you a little more of this or a little more of that.
Because there are limits to the human brain
and body, you could not hold all of the energy of who I am, and so, you choose. This lifetime you'll be an adventurer. The
next lifetime, you'll be a teacher. The next lifetime you'll create: a painter, or an architect, or a builder. The next one,
a parent, and so on: a doctor, a caretaker, a merchant. Well of course I don't sell anything, but I do provide.
Yes,
we have provided everything that you could possibly need. You have right here, on your planet, everything that humankind could
ever ever need. Abundance, beauty, inspiration - everything you need. Of course there have been problems with the ones who
divvy up the resources and try to keep it all for themselves, but you and I are changing that.
It has been "a good
run," as they would say. You were challenged. You were mightily challenged. The ones who invaded your Universe were determined.
But as you know, our Universal Law requires several things. First, that no one will attack and try to take over any other
culture, civilization, planet or territory.
Another requirement: because you were born in love and Light, another requirement
is that we do not intervene, especially with those in lower dimensions who have been given Free Will. We do not monkey in
your lives. We allow you to live it out. That is the purpose of being here. To live your life as you wish, as you choose.
Of
course, those of us in higher dimensions - who see ourselves as your guides, your mentors - we watch. We care for you. We
listen. We send you our love because we want you to succeed. We want you to be happy. We want you to learn and grow, but we
also want you to enjoy it.
You're getting the idea, aren't you... how much I have enjoyed this, your beautiful Universe,
that your Prime Creator worked to develop and build. We began it together. I was present at the birth of every Soul. I know
you, all of you, every Universe, every being, the circumstances, the beauty of each special planet, every star, every energetic
system. Because all are connected, all are a part of who I am. Because they are rays, expressions, facets of the energy that
I am, all of us connected, all of us in communication with one another.
And today, I am here to specifically ask you,
invite you, to strengthen your connection with me.
I want to be the one who hears your prayers. I am the one who agreed
that you needed to be born - you in your Soul and you in this lifetime. It was not an accident; it is your destiny to be here.
And, mind you, it is a special privilege because as difficult as things are on the surface of Earth, there were millions who
wished to be here, billions more than who are here at this moment. It's no accident, you know, that you population exploded
so quickly in the last generation. That was so that there would be room for more of you to come.
And the eyes of your
entire Universe and of other Universes are all on you because this is the source of the spark. Yes, so it has been determined.
We put our trust in you because we know of your capabilities. Of course you feel like: how could you be the center of anything?
Things are going so badly, and it looks as if you're all stumbling around doing awful things to each other. Well you are not
all doing terrible things to each other. The numbers of atrocities are actually fading. We're very happy to see that. Yes,
there are still difficulties. The ones we cannot reach, the ones who have not heard our call, they too will awaken eventually.
They too will learn that they are responsible for their own actions.
There has been much discussion recently about
the criminal behavior that has happened on your planet. And you've all tried very hard to raise your vibration and to be good
people. I want to reassure you. You need not forgive all the criminals in the world in a sense that you let them all out of
jail, not until you are sure that you will be safe, and that they will no longer hurt anyone.
And so there will be
many who, for a time, will experience what I think of as 'enforced meditation.' It is merciful. Do not worry. That is not
being punitive. There is no such thing, as far as I'm concerned. No one is punished for what they do, but we will protect
innocent people. And in your 3rd dimension and slightly higher, all the way up to the 5th dimension, actually, it is necessary
to protect those, who should not be misused. And sometimes we have to simply remove the ones who are too dangerous or who
have caused too much trouble. That is a process that is happening now. But as we have told you, everyone is given the chance
to rehabilitate themselves, and they will be helped.
Your first responsibility, my dear children, is to protect yourselves
and your loved ones. You can also send love. It's very important that you do that. Send love to those who have transgressed.
It will help them. It will help them to awaken, but until they do, do not invite them into the bosom of your family. Do not
risk your own lives to be a hero in your own mind, being, rushing out into the fray to save others first. First, save yourselves,
and care for those you love, and you will see the changes.
There are enormous changes coming. Some of you know that
it is your place to be close to me in the center of the Universe. Your galaxy, The Milky Way, is moving. Yes, your scientists
have noticed it, but they're not telling you what they really have seen. Some of them can't even begin to understand; it doesn't
even begin to make sense to them that whole galaxies and even whole universes can move. Yours is moving.
The little
planet, the beautiful small planet we call Terra - the jewel of your galaxy - will be the center, not only the center of your
Universe, but the center of the Multiverse. Now, how do I explain a Multiverse? For you to understand, it's probably easiest
to think of it as a layer cake. But it is a layer cake that you can see around, and the layers of course can move, but never
the less; let's look at it that way.
You're familiar with the lower dimensions, where you have been. And you have become
familiar recently with the Masters who come, who descend in their energy to come and visit you. That is what I did to come
to speak with you. I did not want to cause our dear channel, Kathryn, to blow a fuse, which would happen if I brought all
of my energy through. It would not be possible for a human being to contain the energy of All That Is.
And so, we calibrate
ourselves to come to visit with you, so that you can feel our love. And you have experienced that with many of your Masters.
Many of you are very familiar with them, with their feeling, their identities because you can feel who they are. You can tell
by their energy signature. They are my beloved children, just as you are.
You will learn, as you raise your vibrations,
as you finally achieve full consciousness. Yes, it was a special arrangement for you to have this veil. It's served an important
purpose, actually many important purposes, but one of them was to allow you to live out this period of history without having
to understand completely and know completely the past.
When you incarnate behind the veil, each lifetime is new. This
was a very effective way to experience it now because it meant that each lifetime you would have the opportunity to begin
again, to show your mettle, to experience the difficulties and the struggles and to overcome them. And as you have done this,
as you have learned to manage your feelings and your thoughts, you have also learned to manage your actions. It is the important
challenge of being human. When you can manage a human body, you are a Master. You see how that works?
It's a bit like
being in the Olympics. Once you receive a gold medal in the Olympics, you are forever and Olympian. It's no accident that
you have created these wonderful games and tests of your abilities. It is a macrocosm and a microcosm of the way life is on
planet Earth. It's all about testing yourself and coming through.
When you can be a truly loving, truly present and
caring human being, you are, by definition, an Ascended Master. For it could not be possible without true concentration, focus,
determination and attention to every detail of what you feel. Every idea that roams through your mind, every glimmer of a
nerve ending firing must be attended to. It takes training. It takes, what you have learned to call, 'mindfulness.' We think
of it as Presence of Mind, a deep kind of consciousness.
We know how difficult it is, and we know that the ones who
are skillful, the ones who are adapt at managing, knowing what they are doing and what it means, knowing what other people
see. Yes, it is possible to reach the point where you understand what your impact is on others. This is a kind of transparency
that is the goal for a Master: to hear your own voice, to see your own actions as they will be seen and felt by others. Now
this does not mean that you should change yourself to please others. This is an entirely different process that we call empathy.
Knowing
what influence you will have on others helps you to understand your power. Truly knowing what influence you have on the world
requires vision. Your influence, your impact, your power is tremendous. You underestimate it always because you have not yet
had your training in manifesting as we do in the higher dimensions. You have a wonderful wonderful treat ahead of you. I look
forward to overseeing your classes, to watching your progress.
Know, all of you, that you have heard my voice on this
day, and that we have made this connection. Do not ever forget it beloved ones. Do not forget me. I do not forget you. Do
not think that I am inaccessible or too distant or too, well, you think these things of those of us who are the Creators.
You think we are awesome and impossibly distant and different from you. It's not true. We are you. You are getting used to
hearing that, aren't you? Is it beginning to make sense now? We are you. It was my intention to experience life through you.
It is in the doing, the feeling, the experiencing that is the thrill. And all of us, all of us experiencing that together
- that is life!
There are no words in any language to express how thrilling, how fulfilling it is to be a part of this
wonderful, historic, exciting plan. I am as much a part of it as you are. I am as thrilled, as excited, as filled with anticipation
as you are. There are a few steps, just a few, that will take you to places you have never experienced before. You will have
your prosperity. The Lightworkers will have their chance to bring delight, solace, comfort and great love to so many across
the planet. And there are others who will be helping.
Your laws are changing. Your governments are changing. The places
in the world that have been the hotbed of troubles are evolving so quickly to bring Light, to be the center of civilization,
the bright lights that will guide others. You will look at these places, where things are changing so fast and you'll say,
"If they can do it, so can we." You will be taking to the streets, literally and figuratively. You will be taking to the streets
in celebration, in solidarity, in joy. You will no longer need to hide inside your houses to pretend to feel safe, when you
are really afraid. This will change. It is changing very quickly.
Those of you who are lucky enough to live in places
of great beauty will find the exhilaration and joy in your hearts to be so great that you'll feel you're almost ready to explode
with joy. This is how life is supposed to be. This is how you are supposed to feel when you wake up in the morning. Ahhhh
the sun is shining again! It is a glorious time to be alive. You, beloved ones, are the apple of our eye. That's a nice image,
isn't it?
I come to tell you: I am in love with all of you. And I feel you opening your hearts. I feel your excitement.
And as it grows, it creates a great wave. That is how you manifest the most glorious lifetime. That is how you pull all of
yourselves up another step, and each time you do, you find yourself in a brand new place. The view is different. The future
is different. That is what is meant by, 'jumping timelines.' You've done it.
When you change your mind about your life,
you change your life. That is 'jumping a timeline.' You change what would have happened if you'd stayed in that old state,
and suddenly, you're on a new track. So many of you are doing this that together, you are literally lifting one another into
higher and higher vibrational states. This is Ascension.
Dear ones, you are Ascending. Day-by-day, you are coming closer
to all the wonderful things you have envisioned. They are already there. You have already created them, and they will appear
before you as surely as I am here, telling you the story of it. You are learning to create, and I assure you, it can be done.
I know of what I speak. And soon, you will know too.
Carry on, beloved ones. Just a few steps more, and you will find
yourselves at the center of the Universe. Do you have any idea what that means?
There is no way we could tell you what
to expect. We can give you some ideas. Learning about the history of your Universe and others, seeing it in a holographic
image - what a joyful thing. Whatever you'd like to know, you will be able to learn. More than you could ever fill your plate
with. You will have enough to do for one Soul to live an eternity without ever a moment that isn't filled with excitement,
curiosity and joy. Your lives here are like that, if you allow it, if you open your hearts and open your minds.
And
yes, as Creator and The Company of Heaven have been teaching you, there are only dark thought-forms. You were convinced to
believe in them, as if they were real. They are not real. You are real. I am real. Love is real. Light is everything.
When
you are in love, knowing, feeling, experiencing love - that is all there is. It cannot be dark. There cannot be fear. And
whatever difficulty comes your way, you will simply soar above it. And you will find, always, the doorway that will lead you
to love.
I will wish you farewell Beloved Ones, but I will not leave you.
And
I hope you will not leave me.
I am here for you.
I love you eternally.
I
Am One.

9 November Posted: 08 Nov 2014 04:14 AM PST Abandon Body-Consciousness The physical body appears only in the present. A thing which has neither past nor future must be considered as non-existent
in the present also. If you think over deeply, with pure intelligence, you will find atyanta abhava (complete non-existence)
for the world. This body which
is full of impurities, urine, pus and faecal matter etc., is perishable. It is like froth or bubble or mirage. It is despised
by its enemies. It remains like a useless log of wood on the ground when prana (life) leaves it. It is the cause of pain and
suffering. It is your enemy. You should treat this body with contempt, as dung. Why should you cling to it and worship it
with scents, powders and flowers? Do not be silly and foolish in adorning it with fine silks and ornaments. It is dire ignorance
only. "Nothing on this earth
belongs to me; this body is not mine" - this is wisdom. "He is my son; she is my daughter; she is my wife; that bungalow
is mine; that garden is mine; I am a brahmana; I am lean; I am fat" this is foolishness of a superior order. This physical
body is the property of fishes, jackals and vultures. How can you call this yours? Application of soap to the body, oil to the hair, powder to the face, looking
in the mirror very often, wearing rings on the fingers - all these will intensify moha (attachment) for the body. Therefore
give up these things ruthlessly. Will
your son or daughter or friend or relative help you when you are about to die? Have you got one sincere, unselfish friend
in this world? All are selfish. There is no pure love. But that Lord, your real friend of friends, father of fathers, who
dwells in your heart, will never forsake you though you forsake him. Adore in silence that God of gods, Divinity of divinities,
Highest of the highest. May He bless us with His love, wisdom, power and peace. Om! Narayana Upanishad says: "In the beginning these two roads were laid, the roads
through karma (action) and sanyasa (renunciation). The latter consists in the renunciation of threefold desire -
of son, wealth and fame. Of these, the road through sanyasa is preferable." The Taittiriya Upanishad also says: "Renunciation,
tyaga, is certainly to be preferred."  | Satsang Bhavan Lectures, Message 15 Posted: 07 Nov 2014 10:00 PM PST Satsang Bhavan Lectures of Swami Sivananda 33. Glory of Sanyasins / 34. Advice to Sanyasins / 35. The Sanyasin's Duty
/ 36. Renunciation: The Door to Moksha / 37. A Sanyasin: A Spiritual Power 33. GLORY OF SANYASINS Sanyasa is the fourth order
of life. After completing the Brahmacharya Ashrama, wherein one practises self-discipline, control of indriyas and the mind,
and study of Vedas, he enters the Grihastha Ashrama. In this ashram he procreates, educates his children, develops the virtues
that are peculiar to this ashram, such as tolerance, generosity, compassion, and takes to vanaprastha life. Vanaprastha Ashram
is a preparation for sanyasa. After entering the Sanyasa Ashram one meditates on one's self and attains self-realisation. Sanyasa is resting in one's
own satchidanada swarupa. Sanyasa is self-realisation. Our forefathers, our gurus, were Sanak, Sanandana, Sanatana and
Sanatkumara—the four Kumaras, the mentally born sons of Brahma. Brahma asked them to lead the life of householders but
they refused, because they knew the worth of this samsaric life. So they at once entered the nivritti order. They were our
sanyasins' forefathers. The sanyasins are the children of Sri Sankara, Gaudapada, Dattatreya, glorious divine personages who
had knowledge of Brahman and who shone with divine splendour having attained oneness with the Paramatma, the supreme
soul. Sanyasa is a life of self-restraint and renunciation—renunciation not only of external objects and worldly activities,
but renunciation, of egoism, cravings, vasanas, kartritwa buddhi (the feeling that I am the doer) and bheda buddhi (the intellect
that differentiates one from the other), which instead of producing homogeneity produces heterogeneity. External sanyasa is
renunciation of objects and selfish activities. It is also necessary, but internal sanyasa is more important, more vital. A sanyasi is an Atma-samrat,
a self king. He is a guide for politicians. He gives advice as to how to rule the country, how to establish dharma. He is the adviser to kings, statesmen
and ministers. He is not a parasite. A sadhu or sanyasin is one who has knowledge of God, who has controlled his indriyas,
who is compassionate to all, who has equal vision and balanced mind, and who is a friend to everybody. A cosmic benefactor
is the sanyasin. For the sake of one or two breads he disseminates the knowledge of Brahman from door to door and brings peace
and comfort to the householders, to the people of the world at large. A sanyasin is a veritable God on earth. Sakshat narayano bhavet. An
orange coloured man is Lord Vishnu himself. He is to be worshipped. He should be adored. All sorts of pujas should be done
to him. In return he will bless you. He will bless the householders. He goes to the householders for biksha only to purify
them. He elevates them, gives them advice how to lead the life divine, how to control the mind, how to cultivate virtues,
how to remove dehadhyasa and how to identify oneself with the all-pervading Atma. He uplifts the worldly people, raises them
to the status of Brahmanhood and makes them shine with divine splendour and pristine purity. A sanyasin is not a parasite
as some people think. He is a king of the world, he is the emperor of the three worlds. Even the very sight of him will destroy
one's sins. Every religion has got this band of anchorites. Buddhism has got Buddhist monks. Jainism has got digambaras and
swetambaras. Islam and Sufism have got fakirs. These anchorites are the glory of every religion. They have disciplined themselves.
If you remove these people, there is no essence in religion. These people glorify the religions. Some people bring the charge
that a sadhu or sanyasin is unproductive, is a parasite, is a burden on this earth. They say that there are sixty lakhs of
sadhus. This is a false census report. There may be one thousand or two thousand good sanyasins. People lying on the roadside
in Bombay, Calcutta and Delhi have been considered as sanyasins by the census reporters, and thus they have given their report
to the Government. The sanyasins write articles. They give lectures. They hold classes. They impart instructions to the men of the world.
They do work. They are not parasites. The whole world is maintained by the glory of the sanyasins. They serve them in a variety
of ways. Their very existence is a glory, and splendour on the earth. When people are in distress, and when they do not know
what to do, these sanyasins speak one word. This one word elevates them, removes their sufferings. The very sight of sanyasins
destroys one's sufferings. Such is the glory of sanyasins. Once a patient was about to be operated for stone in the kidney.
He came across a sadhu and he gave him a herb, patrikata, which dissolves stone in the bladder or the kidney. In a few hours
the stone was dissolved. He was about to be operated and had been brought to the operation table, but the herb saved him from
undergoing the operation. Such is the glory of the herb. The Himalayan herbs are in the custody of the sadhus and sanyasins.
Even now when big officers suffer, and when their case is pronounced as hopeless, they want sadhu bhooti. When their children
are suffering, they want sadhu bhooti. They go to Himalayas. There are many hidden sanyasins in the Himalayas. They are
sending their thought vibrations to the world. It is not necessary that a sanyasin should come on the platform and give lectures
and interpret the Gita and the Upanishads, they can purify the whole world by their thoughts. Such is the glory of sanyasins. Sanyasins have established
ashrams. They are helping people. They hold vedantic conferences. Recently Prem Puriji held a conference in Bombay for five
days. There are Divine Life Conferences in Salem, Venkatagiri, Calcutta, Copenhagen. These are all productive. People expect that sadhus
and sanyasins should go to the agricultural field and plough the field and produce so many maundsof rice and go to mills and weave so many yards of cloth. They think that only he who produces fifty yards of cloth,
or he who goes to the dairy farm and makes so many maunds of butter, or ploughs the field and raises so many maunds of paddy
is productive. To train people in Brahma Vidya, in knowledge of the self, in self-discipline, in disciplining the mind and
the senses, and in attaining discrimination is productive. Ignorant people have no idea of spiritual things. They see only
the external objects. They are ignorant of transcendental things. Samadhi, ritambara prajna, dharma megha, are unknown to
them. Their knowledge is limited to material things such as sweetmeats, jaleppis, etc. The Ramakrishna Mission is doing social work,
flood relief. They run colleges, distribute medicines, maintain hospitals, impart training to people and send them abroad
in foreign countries as presidents of maths.Swami Nikhilananda in America has done
wonderful work. He gives lectures, writes books. The Ramakrishna Mission has brought out the translation of many Sanskrit
works in English. Mahamandaleswar Swami Vidyananda went to Africa and Europe with Sri Mavalankar, the late speaker of the Loka Sabha,
and gave lectures. He has given a number of lectures on Gita and has also written a book on Gita. He has built a number of
Gita Mandirs to propagate the message of the Gita. Swami Rajeswarananda runs an ashram. He has written several books.
He trains students. He has produced a brilliant scholar in Dr. T. M. P. Mahadevan, the head of the Department of Philosophy
in the Madras University. He runs a magazine, 'Call Divine'. Swami Madhava Tirtha of Ahmedabad has written quite a number
of illuminating books in English and Gujaratti. He conducts spiritual conferences. Swami Chidbhavananda of Ramakrishna Tapovan
has written many good books. He runs a school and a magazine 'Dharma Chakram' in Tamil. He delivers discourses on Gita. Swami Ramdas of Kanhangad
runs an Ashram. He trains Sadhaks. 'Vision' is his monthly magazine. He has made lecture tours to foreign countries. Swami Narayanananda of Khela
serves the people with his sweet, ecstatic, inspiring kirtans. He founded the Bapu Vidyalaya College in Ashkot. He renders
inestimable service to pilgrims to Kailas. Maha Mandaleswar Swami Vishnudevananda of Kailas Ashram, Rishikesh, trains
sanyasins and lay disciples. He conducts classes. Swami Purushottamananda of Vasishta Guha runs a charitable school and imparts
instructions to devotees. Swami Tapovanji of Uttarakasi has written many Sanskrit works. He has made a great contribution
to the spread of Sanskrit learning. Swami Sukadevananda is famous for his dynamic service. He runs two ashrams located in different
places. He trains brahmacharins in the study of scriptures in the ancient way. He conducts kathas and gives lectures. Swami Omkarananda of Waltair
has two ashrams and he runs two magazines, 'Peace' and 'Santi'. He has toured America, giving lectures. Yogi Raj Suddhananda Bharati
has written several inspiring and illuminating books in Tamil and English. He has made lecture tours to foreign countries.
He has an ashram in Vadalur. Malayalam Swamigal, Erpedu, runs an ashram. He has initiated several ladies also into sanyasa
and trained them in the study of Vedas. He is the author of several books on vedanta. Swami Sivananda Satchidananda runs the Sivananda
Tapovanam in Trincomalee, Ceylon, where yoga-vedanta classes are conducted. Srila Sri Subramania Desika Jnanasambanda Paramachariar
Avl. Dharmapuram Adheenam, is doing wonderful service for the spread of theism by distributing leaflets with the help of mobile
vans, giving speeches, writing books and starting patasalasin different places. Sri Jagatguru Sankaracharya
of Kumbhakonam, is the spiritual head for a vast section of people in the South. He guides aspirants, distributes leaflets,
delivers lectures and is the author of some books. Sri Jagatguru Sankaracharya of Sringeri has established Veda Patasalas in Sringeri,
Mysore, etc. and he encourages study of Vedas and Sanskrit. He guides aspirants and is one of the spiritual heads in South
India. Swami Paramahamsa Yogananda founded the Self-Realisation Fellowship in California, and started a magazine, 'Self-Realisation'.
A branch of this institution is in Ranchi, Bihar. He commands a wide following in the West as well as in the East. Sanyasins have worked in the
political field also. Swami Ramananda worked hard in the political field and dedicated his life to the cause of politics. Now people want that sanyasins
should work in the field of prohibition. They should stop drinking and smoking among the people. The government is not
able to remove untouchability. They want the sadhus to work in this field also. They want that the sanyasins should bring
home to the people the benefit of giving up alcohol. Such kind of work the sanyasins are already doing. They are giving lectures,
writing books. Each society, each institution, every sanyasi is doing this work. Recently there was a meeting of the Bharat Sadhu
Samaj. It is a welcome idea that all the various kinds of institutions such as Nirmalas, Vairagis, Dhatupantis, Kabirpantis,
Naths, sadhus and sanyasins will unite and work together to spread the knowledge of the Vedas and bring more peace and goodwill
and spiritual regeneration. It is a very good idea, but it is a hard task. They may have four or five meetings, they may pass
resolutions, but the task is very difficult, though it is not impossible. Even in the West many institutions like the Methodist
Church are working independently. To co-operate and co-ordinate them is difficult. Every Christian mission is working in its
own way, doing hospital work, educational work, etc. So let us all join together and work for the solidarity of the world in all
directions, physical, mental, educational, cultural, and do more good and bring more peace to this world. Let everybody become
a sanyasin at heart. Sanyasa is a mental state, a state of indifference to sensual enjoyments of this world, a state wherein
man is trying to melt his mind in its source, the satchidanada Parabrahman. Mental sanyasin is equally good as the sanyasins
who live in Uttar Khand, wearing the orange robe. But some people say, without the qualification for sanyasa, that they will
give mental gerua. Though there are cases of people like Gandhi and Malaviaji, who were equal to sanyasins of sanyasa order,
a sanyasin alone can cut off completely himself from the world. Now also there is an old man, in Kodakanellur. He gets up
at 3 o'clock, goes to Tamravarni for bath, studies Bhagavat, meditates, and he has not seen the sun for several years. Such
people lead the life of sanyasins. It is not necessary for them to renounce the world and come to Rishikesh or Muni-Ki-Reti.
They can devote their life in study of books and contemplation. But only a sanyasin can cut off all moha for the world.
A man in the world will have a touch of moha. To completely destroy moha, one should take sanyasa. Otherwise what is the use
of the sanyasa order? Why did this order come into existence? Why did Sankara take sanyasa? There is a purpose. There is a
benefit. Sanyasa destroys completely the moha. You may have heard about Narayanaswami. He has related his experiences. He
says, "I practised devotion. I attained a certain stage in bhakti, but for completing my evolution, I had to renounce. I found
I cannot progress further in the house." This is his experience, and this will be the experience of many others also. If one's
children are fixed up in life, and his daughters are married and if he has no dependants, and if he has discharged his duties,
it is a sin for him to remain in the house. To remain in the house is adharma for him. This is what the Sastras say. He may
say that he has become a mental sanyasin. But, it is better if he takes up formal sanyasa. His daughters are married, his
sons are fixed up in life, and on account of vasanas and moha he says that he is a mental sanyasin. So let us become true
sanyasins. Let up develop the true spirit of sanyas and devote ourselves to study, meditation and selfless service and shine
as Sankara, Hasthamalaka, Sanaka, Sanandana, Sanatana, Sanatkumara, and attain self-realisation and divine wisdom and radiate
peace and wisdom to all people who come in contact with us. Glory to Sankara! Glory to sanyasins! Glory to ashrams where
sanyasins stay, and study Brahma Sutras and Upanishads, and meditate on the self and attain the summum bonum of life, viz:
God-realisation and resting in one's own satchidananda swarup. 34. ADVICE TO SANYASINS There are four mahavakyas
or great sentences. They are: Prajnanam Brahma, Aham Brahmasmi, Tatwamasi, Ayam Atma Brahma. Prajnanam Brahma is lakshana
vakya. Brahman is pure consciousness. Brahman is not the physical or mental consciousness. The consciousness by which
the intellect, mind, prana and the senses function, the consciousness where there is no sankalpa or vikalpa is Parabrahman.
Aham Brahmasmi is the anusandhana vakya. I am the all pervading Brahman, akasavat sarvagatah—all-pervading like the
ether. A student of vedanta meditates on this formula, negating the koshas—the annamaya kosha, pranamaya kosha, manomaya
kosha, vijnanamaya kosha and anandamaya kosha. He separates himself from these koshas and identifies himself with the essence,
the Atman. Just as you take the pith from the munja grass, you take out Atman by meditation on the pranava, OM, and the great
sentences (mahavakyas). You are in essence satchidananda, existence-knowledge-bliss absolute. Tatwamasi is the upadesha
vakya. The teacher instructs the disciple, 'Thou art That'. The disciple practises meditation on the mahavakyas and realises
that he is Brahman, Ayam Atma Brahma—'This Atman is Brahman'. This is sakshatkara vakya. Your essential nature is satchidananda.
So do not fight with anybody. Do not ask for tea or coffee. You have no rights, because you are essentially Brahman. You are
chinmaya, full of consciousness and bliss. You have taken the vow to give protection to all creatures. So do not take
up a stone and hit monkeys. There is no body for you. Your body has been burnt. That is the significance of the ochre robe.
Sanyasa is a sterner stuff. Do not think that sanyasa is meant for getting respect, people will say, "Aiye, Swamiji Maharaj."
Even if a man cuts your throat, you should say, "I am not this body," soham. You should remain unperturbed. Any man can do
anything for you. He can cut your throat. But you should keep quiet. You have repeated the mantra: Om bhuh sanyastam maya, Om bhuvah
sanyastam maya, Om swah sanyastam maya Om bhurbhuvah swah sanyastam maya. It means, 'I have renounced the pleasures of the
three worlds, bhuloka bhuvarloka, and swarga'. All the devatas now tremble before you. Such is the glory of a sanyasin.
According to the government census report there are about fifty lakhs of sanyasins. You four sanyasins should not be a mere
addition to that number. You should be real sanyasins. Service is your motto. Serve, love, give. When you see an old
woman carrying a bundle of fuel with difficulty, at once you must take the bundle and help her. That is sanyasa. Service of
the poor and the sick is called sanyasa—not only going to Vrindavan and other places. Do not put anything in the
savings bank account. There is no tomorrow for you, no storing for you. God or Prakriti will provide everything for you. You
should share whatever you have, physical, mental or spiritual. If you have a cup of milk and if you find a man starving, you
must run to him at once and give him that milk. Sanyasa does not mean quoting quotations. Your body and mind are at the disposal
of the country, at the disposal of the Bharat Sadhu Samaj. Join the Bharat Sadhu Samaj and serve in a variety of ways. They
have got so many aims, sadachar, right conduct, etc. So serve the Bharat Sadhu Samaj. If you find a sick man on the roadside,
you should at once lift him and take him to a hospital. You should be ever ready to serve poor people. You should live, sharing.
whatever you have with others, ever meditating, controlling: the senses, disciplining the mind, and ever resting in your own
self, feeling—Brahma satyam, jaganmitya—Brahman is real, the world is unreal. But that does not mean that there
is no world. It only means that the world is not so real as Brahman. It does not mean that the world does not exist in
the three periods of time like the barren woman's son or the horns of a hare. You should serve feeling always that you are
Brahman and the whole world is Brahman. You should not hurt others' feelings. You should get up at 4 o'clock and meditate,
and rest in your swaroopa. You may fall again and again, but rise up again and again and proceed, though with faltering steps.
Perishable thing is not Atman. Ajo nitya saswatoyam purano, na hanyate, hanyamane sareere. The Atman is unborn, eternal, imperishable,
ancient. He is not destroyed when the body is destroyed. You should meditate on this formula. It will give you strength and
free you from birth and death and the bonds of karma. You will become a jivanmukta, not in the unknown future, but right now
in this very second. You should feel that the whole world is your body, the whole universe is your body. Do kirtan, japa, prayer. Serve
other people and rest in your own Swaroopa. You are not this body. You are the supreme Being, full of knowledge, full of bliss,
full of wisdom. Yo vai bhuma tat sukham na alpe sukhamasti. Happiness is only in the unconditioned. In the finite there is
no happiness. There is one Atma which is untouched by hunger and thirst, sorrow and pain. It is satchidananda. That is why
every one should realise the Atman, for there alone you will find eternal bliss. Nirmamo nirahamkarah sa santim adhigachchati.
He who has no mineness, no egoism, no desires, attains peace. Sraddhavan labhate jnanam tatparah samyatendriyah. He who has
faith, who ever meditates on the Atman, and who has controlled all his senses, attains knowledge of the self. Jnanam labdhwa
param santim achirena adhigachchati. After attaining knowledge of the self, he enjoys supreme peace. The happiness that you
get in a dak bungalow is not real. Some thief may steal your things, and you feel pain. Eternal bliss is in your own self.
In deep sleep there is no car, or bungalow; there is no attraction or distraction. You experience bliss, because you are nearer
Atman. That bliss where there is no object, no play of organs, where mind does not function, intellect does not function,
that you should attempt to achieve. Vasanakshaya, manonasa and tatwa jnana are the three stages. When the vasanas,
the vrittis of the mind are destroyed, the mind is thinned out and then Brahmajnana or knowledge of the self dawns. So may
you all try to enjoy the atmic bliss within. If a man is sick, do not say, "It is your prarabda, I will not care, I am Brahman."
Do not bring this philosophy. No doubt, you are Brahman, but he is also Brahman. So serve him. If you serve for three hours,
it is equal to meditation for three days. Devaki Kutty is a jivanmukta, Chellamma is a jivanmukta. They have plunged themselves
in service of Brahman. Let them not meditate. No meditation is necessary. The world is in need of karma yogins, not Jnanis
who simply say, "Brahman is real, the world is unreal." We want dynamic selfless karma yogins. But you can combine service
with a little meditation. Seva bhavis are needed. A sanyasi should repeat pranava (OM) daily 21,000 times. Along with this he
can do his ishta mantra also (saguna upasana), like 'Om Namah Sivaya', 'Om Sri Ramaya Namah', etc. May you shine as karma yogins.
May God bless you with health, long life, peace, bliss and immortality. 35. THE SANYASIN'S DUTY Swamiji's instructions
to new initiates. You are all swamis now. 'Swami' means God. So you should possess at least some of the attributes of God. You should
manifest divine virtues—cosmic love, tolerance, service, purity, compassion, nobility, equanimity, serenity, humility,
these virtues you should manifest. You should not hate anyone. You should embrace the whole world. That is sanyasa. The whole
world is your body. Putreshana, vitteshana, lokeshana—desire for progeny, desire for wealth, desire for fame—all these three
ishanas you have renounced. The three: kas-kamini, kanchana, kirti (lust, gold and fame) you have renounced. It is very difficult
to renounce them, but you have taken the vow that you have renounced them, before the fire. You are now ready to serve the
whole world. You have burnt all desires. That is the meaning of the gerua, ochre robe. And you have also burnt the body. All
the panchakoshas you have burnt—annamaya kosha, pranamaya kosha, manomaya kosha, vijnamaya kosha, anandamaya kosha—and
only Parabrahman remains in you. All the illusory vehicles have gone now. You are nitya-suddha-buddha Atma (eternal, pure
consciousness)—santam, sivam adwaitam. This is the significance of sanyasa. A glutton is not fit for sanyasa. A little you
can eat. If rasagullas come, one or two or three you can take, but not more. People fall at your feet thinking that you are
God. At least you must try to possess some of the divine qualities. Anger, hatred, malice should go away, and a feeling of
oneness, love and unity must come. This is called sanyasa. You must pray to God, to Dattatreya, Sanak, Sanadana, Sanatkumara,
Sankara, Padmapada, Hasthamalaka. We are children of these people. Sanyasin's life is a glorious life. People honour the sanyasins
and offer arghya. A sanyasin should not fight with the porters or with the coolies or with the kitchen-in-charge. Maya's centre
is the kitchen. That is the place where fights and quarrels occur. "He has not given me sugar." "He has not given me milk."
You should not come down upon others. Serenity, devotion, dispassion, discrimination, aspiration, renunciation, meditation,
all these you must practise. You must study the Prasthanatraya—Gita, Upanishads and Brahma-sutras—and live in
Brahman. There is no world for you. In deep sleep there is no world for you. Only when there is mind, there is world. Mind
is nothing but a bundle of vasanas and samskaras. If you remove these through meditation, there will be no world. It is mind
that causes bondage. Mind with desires for objects leads to bondage. Mind without these desires is paripoorna, all-blissful.
The wealth of the whole world belongs to you, if you have renounced all desires. You need not require a cheque book. Nature
will meet your requirements wherever you go. Materials will come by themselves. You should possess all divine virtues
and radiate peace, bliss, brahmic brilliance or tejas. Every one will then invite you. The whole world is your home. There
is no such thing as 'stranger'. Everything is Parabrahman. Satyam, jnanam, anantam. Prajnanam Brahma. Satchidananda is
Brahman. Brahman means great, knowledge, bliss. Brahman is Paripoorna. If you attain Brahman, you attain everything. Here,
everything is apoorna. If you take jaleppi, again the desire comes to have more jaleppi. All devas prostrate before you; you can command
nature; you can command elements; the fire burns on account of the tejas of a Brahmin. Such is the glory of a sanyasin. You should control anger.
You should have cosmic love. You should not use flit over insects. You can use flit after driving the insects away. Gently
pray for the bugs to go away. You should not commit a bit of himsa. You must maintain perfect ahimsa. That is called sanyasa. You should not have any attraction
for the objects of the world. The Atman is the Whole. Within that there is a vibration. The world is that vibration. Where
is infinity and where is Asia? If you think of this it is grand. Where is Hindustan or Pakistan in Brahman? For a sanyasin
there is no Hindustan or Pakistan. The world is a footprint of a calf. You are infinity. Satyam, jnanam, anantam Brahma. Here
there is a little happiness, but in Brahman there is undecaying bliss which is not mixed with pain, which is ever-lasting.
In the world man is happy for five minutes, and he weeps for the next five minutes. That is the nature of the world. But here
every one is happy. Nobody can imitate the sadhu's blissful smile. Everybody must become a sanyasin one day or other. Every one
is moving towards Brahman. Where is happiness? You should find out. Deep sleep state gives you the clue that you are one with
Brahman, but there is a veil of ignorance. Destroy this veil through satsang, discrimination, dharma megha samadhi, etc. Do not become angry. Practise
kshama or forgiveness. Even if anger manifests in the mind, do not give expression to it, nor act upon it. Though this is
difficult, for a sincere aspirant, the grace of the Lord comes and he becomes established in forgiveness. Remember you have
given fearlessness, abhayam, to all beings. You must share whatever you have. Do not keep any money in the savings bank
account. Your pension should not go to your sons, but it must go to the poor people, it must go to the whole world. A sanyasin
has no body. He is the Atma of all beings. That means he possesses everything. When you say: ayamatma nirakarah sarvavyapi
swabhavatah—you should feel that you are all-pervading Atma. You should assert, Prajnanam Brahma—'Pure consciousness
is Brahman'. The teacher says, 'Thou art That', one indwelling consciousness. Like butter in milk, like fire in wood, like
electricity in the insulated wire—this Atma pervades all forms. Every one wants unalloyed bliss. Every one desires to exist
for ever. Every one wants unlimited knowledge. These show that you are in essence Parabrahman. Again and again meditate on
this formula. Reduce your thirst for worldly objects. Daily spend some time in meditation. All difficulties and tribulations
will terminate even if you think once ayamatma nirakara sarva-vyapi swabhavatah. Even if you are a king, you may be beaten
and taken away by your enemies. You are Atma samrat. No dacoit can take away this wealth. Ayamatma nirakarah—This Atman
is without form. You should have the strength born of discrimination. You should have the strength born of atmic realisation,
and not the strength born of position, or bank balance or any property. Kowpeenavanta khalu bhagyavantah, says Sankara.
Such is the glory of sanyasins. A little japa, a little meditation, a little study of Upanishads, a little control of anger—all
these you should practise. Anger will come, but try to control it. Leave the place at once. Gradually you will gain strength.
If you control anger and annoyance, you will have plenty of energy. If the anger is controlled, you can move the world. You
will have ojas sakti which is very useful for meditation and awakening kundalini. A man who leads a Brahmic life is not afraid
of anything. Let any government come, what is it for you? It is only attachment that causes fear. Veetaragabhayakroddhah. From
attachment spring fear and anger. If anyone disturbs you or takes your things, you get angry, because you are attached to
conditions and things. He who has controlled bhaya and krodha, is established in equanimity. We should get established
in equanimity. Ayamatma nirakarah sarva vyapi swabhavatah. We should have mental strength, moral strength and spiritual
strength. A little word makes your blood hot. You must keep quiet if one abuses you. A little wealth, a little position, a
little strength, fattens your egoism. Be like the Ujjain saint. If you study Bhagavatam you will find his story. He was driven
away by relatives. People tied his legs and hands, spat on him and mocked at him. But he laughed at them. That is the strength
we want. Mental strength is quite different from physical strength. Do japa, kirtan. Meditate that you are Infinite bliss,
infinite strength. Money gives you a little pleasure, but the Atman is an embodiment of bliss. You do not want anything. Practise
vichara. Do not get angry at least today, or at least for one week. If a man beats you, think and feel that you are the Atman. Om bhuh sanyastham maya, Om
bhuvah sanyastham maya, Om swah sanyastham maya, Om bhurbhuvaswah sanyastham maya. I have renounced the pleasures of this
world, the other world and heaven also. Every day when you take bath you should recite this mantra. Even the Sun trembles
before him who repeats this mantra. Do not desire to go to heaven and enjoy the milk of Kamadhenu. All ideas of enjoyment
in heaven you have given up. You have burnt all desires. Nothing can attract you, Nothing can tempt you. Such is the glory
of the sanyasin who has recited this mantra. 36. RENUNCIATION: THE DOOR TO MOKSHA Swamiji's speech on 31st
July 1956 on the eve of Swami Swaroopanananda's departure from the Ashram. Now western people are taking sanyasa. Here
we have got a sadhu belonging to the Self-Realisation Fellowship. We have got Alexander, I.M.F., who was in Lucknow General
Hospital. He has also embraced sanyasa and is now living in uttara-vrindavan. We have got Swami Krishna Prem, whose previous
name was Nixon. Many Americans have taken sanyasa and joined the Ramakrishna Mission. It is only lndians living in the land
of nivritti marga who are hesitating. They are sunk in worldliness. It is gratifying to note that western people are coming
to India to take sanyasa and live a life of yoga and meditation. Renunciation is the only means for attaining self-realisation. na
karmana na prajaya dhanena tyagenekena amritatwamanasuh.
(Kaivalya Upanishad, Verse 3) Not by works, not by progeny, not by wealth, but by renunciation alone one attains immortality.
Through sanyasa alone we can entirely cut off moha for property and relatives. sanyasa is very necessary. The glory of sanyasa,
the fruit of sanyasa, is indescribable. Swami Swaroopananda remained here for six months and practised rigorous sadhana. He used to get
up at three or sometimes even at two o'clock and practise five or six hours of continuous japa and meditation, and he attained
some achievements in yoga, samadhi, awareness, consciousness. He is a yogi full of humility, renunciation, spirit of service
and aspiration. He will disseminate the message of unity, oneness, of yoga and vedanta in Europe. He will translate some of
the books on yoga and vedanta. He is a journalist and will bring home to the westerners the underlying secrets of yoga and
the depth of vedanta. We all wish him all success in his undertaking. He will be a harbinger of peace in Europe, and a spiritual
ambassador of divine life. He has done great sadhana here. He went to Amarnath. He was very thin. He was practising austerity.
Now after remaining in Kashmir he has picked up his health. We all wish him health, long life, peace, bliss, prosperity,
vidya, tushti, pushti, and success in his undertaking. This is our fervent prayer. 37. THE SANYASIN: A SPIRITUAL POWER Swamiji's speech at the
All India Sadhu Samaj meeting. Param Pujyapada Maha Mandaleshwar, Sant Maharajs and all those assembled here, salutations and
prostrations. We are glad, we rejoice now. On the bank of Bhagirati, where rishis dwelt before, where Vyasa arranged the Vedas,
where even now you will find Tapovan and Vasishta Guha, we are having the first conference of the Bharat Sadhu Samaj, which
will work for the upliftment of Bharat and the whole world. I was in correspondence with Sri. B. G. Kher. He wanted to organise
the sadhus and mahatmas, but he was transferred to London as High Commissioner. The same spirit has now entered into Sri Nandaji.
Through the pious endeavours of Nanda Maharaj this work will prosper. Organisation is very necessary for advancement and progress
of any institution. Where there is sanghasakti, all cooperate and work for the unity, well being and solidarity of the world
at large. Sadhus and sanyasins are potent powers, eternal storehouse of energy they have got through tyag, through renunciation,
through vairagya and meditation. Meditation is the key to open the door of Elysian bliss. Renunciation is the first step,
and vairagya is the passport to enter into the kingdom of eternal bliss. Our mahatmas are a storehouse of energy and
power. They are whole time aspirants and when they utilise their energy, we can easily effect the moral and spiritual regeneration
not only of India, but of the whole world at large. At the proper time we have formed the Bharat Sadhu Samaj. We require the
co-operation of the sadhus and sanyasins for the moral uplift of the people and for their spiritual advancement. Their
instructions will penetrate the heart. They are selfless people, endowed with viveka and vairagya. The time has come for the
moral uplift and spiritual uplift of the people. India is already a spiritual country, and this will react on the West and
they also will be uplifted. Now it is the time for all sadhus to co-operate and give their advice, energy and time for the
uplift of the country, for helping the Bharat Sadhu Samaj. This is the thing which will give real peace to the world. It is
only the sadhus who can contribute to the wellbeing of the country. The yoga of synthesis is most suitable at the present time.
Man is a triune being. He thinks, feels and wills. So one should practise the yoga of synthesis—karma yoga, bhakti yoga
and jnana yoga—for integral development and perfection. Those who have got karmic tendencies, who have got leisure,
can work in the world, for one cannot meditate for twenty-four hours. They can spend some time for doing good to the world
at large. There must also be some sanyasins who can devote themselves to whole time meditation. We have got medical research
institutes, scientific research institutes, and various other researches. We must also have people who devote their time
to concentration and meditation and bring out the atmic pearl. There must be some people who devote their whole time for atmic
research. It is these people who can contribute to the moral and spiritual uplift of the whole world at large. May this Sadhu
Samaj prosper gloriously, doing good to the people in all fields, economic, political, moral and spiritual. I declare open the Sadhu Samaj
conference. May it prosper gloriously and bring peace to the whole world at large. May it contribute to the well being, economic,
political, moral and spiritual, of the whole world is my fervent prayer.  |

A key to the process is the word "frequency." This is true for two reasons: 1)
The frequency you use when you passionately dwell upon or revisit a thought, dream, desire or goal provides the energy your
musings need for creation; and 2) just like a radio station broadcasts on a certain frequency, like the radio you must be
"tuned in" to receive it. This means preparing for the arrival of your dream on every possible level—material, physical,
and spiritual. You don't have to know how it will come into your life, just trust that it will. Your job is to lay the groundwork,
follow any leads you can find, and prepare for its arrival. This can mean cleaning out your garage to make space for a new
car, taking a tour of a model home to get the feel of it in order to feed your fantasies, or thinking of what you want in
a mate and then living up to that list yourself.
