The Period of Alignment by Mary Magdalene | | The Period
of Alignment by Mary Magdalene Channelled through Natalie Glasson- 17th September 2014-www.omna.org You are now experiencing your divine essence in a sacred journey which is revealing your purpose as a soul on the Earth
and within the universe of the Creator. The journey you are experiencing and continuously embarking upon is a special journey
that gathers all your skills, abilities, wisdom and knowledge from past, simultaneous and current lifetimes into manifestation
within your present moment. Everything you require is present within your being, ready to be activated, available to be experienced
and present to be honoured as a sacred manifestation of the divine. Your purpose upon the Earth is unfolding now for you.
You are walking your sacred purpose in every moment of your life whether you are content with your life or not, experience
an easy flowing life or challenges, feel confused or inspired. In this moment and every moment of your reality you are in
the right place with appropriate timing and everything is flowing in accordance with your soul, soul group and the divine
will of the Creator. This is the truth, you are exactly where you need to be in your life and experiences and you are walking
your divine purpose on the Earth to experience more fully with each expression of yourself the Era of Love and all its abundance. I ask you
to comprehend your life in this moment; do you feel my words are true? It is most likely if you have recently had what you
perceive as good experiences that you resonate with my words, if it is the opposite and you feel yourself struggling or suffering
in your life then maybe you do not resonate with my words. Whatever your circumstances it is appropriate for you to resonate,
cultivate and align with my words and suggestions about you walking on the Earth as your divine purpose because this is your
truth. The more you align with this existence the more you will experience it fully within your reality. There is no other
way to walk as your divine purpose on the Earth and experience the abundant love of the Era of Love than to align with it
consciously as if sending out a request to yourself and the Era of Love including all its experiences to merge, to be linked
and as one. You are already the Era of Love. The Era of Love is a title of a time on the Earth where each person aligns with
the love of their beings bringing it forth to their own realities, to others and the Earth as a supreme gift of love; the
gift of love manifesting in physical form and experiences. You, beloved one, are on this pathway. You are the Era of Love,
you are the creator of the Era of Love, it is through your alignment with and expression of love that you will achieve your
divine purpose as well as manifesting an eternal period of love on the Earth. Your time is here, it has been present for
a while, the only way you can truly be a creator of the Era of Love is to align with and be content, with understanding that
you are already walking your sacred reality of divinity and true purpose on the Earth. Your understanding and contentment
comes from your perspective that everything in your reality is appropriate and applicable, there are no good or bad experiences,
and everything is a part of your pathway. With this perspective activated within you, you discover you no longer feel attached
to your reality or even feel the need to judge circumstances. You simple know everything falls into place for a reason and
a divine purpose. With this understanding you are more able to surrender yourself more fully to the presence of the beauty
of the Creator within your being and reality. Your choices also come into play having an important impact upon your reality.
When you choose to be aligned to the Era of Love and to your purpose of being a creator of the Era of Love, you begin to make
new choices which express and manifest the Era of Love within your reality. Thus abundant diverse experiences of love manifest
magically into your life, attracting to you all you need to encourage and support you in expressing more of the Creator's
love and viewing more of the Creator's beauty within your reality. 'I ALIGN,' this is all that you require in this
moment with your choice of that which you choose to align to. Do you choose to align to fear or love? This simple means
that rather than encouraging yourself to walk alone on the Earth without support you are accessing the support that is constantly
yours. The support of the inner planes, the Angels, Archangels, Ascended Masters, Light Beings as well as the flow of abundance,
the truth, love and your own sacred being. You are opening yourself up to be a part of the universe of the Creator which you
automatically and naturally belong to so you may gain the support, inspiration and energy you require, thus you are able to
support others in achieving and accessing the same. What energies do you wish to support you in this magical lifetime
and to create magic upon the Earth? It is important to contemplate this free from limitations or boundaries. You are an amazing
being of light connected to all that is the Creator, when you align yourself to this you are living beyond boundaries in the
freedom and multitude of abundance of the Creator. 'I align myself completely to the Era of Love so I may be an expression
of the abundant and blissful love of the Creator on the Earth. I align myself to be a creator of the Era of Love in my reality,
the realities of others and the world. I align myself to experience myself and my reality as love thus attracting all I need
and require into my life to exist harmoniously with the truth of my heart and my divine purpose. I align with the divine purpose
of my soul, whatever happens in my reality I know I am creating, walking and experiencing my divine purpose in every moment.
As I align with love my choices are aligned with love and so I AM LOVE in all its sacred expressions. For this I rejoice,
letting go of fear and being content within my reality and existence upon the Earth. I Am That I Am.' That which is negative, harmful
or hurtful is only a product of illusion designed to bring forth greater understanding and truth from the soul, that which
is determined positive is a recognition of the truth of your soul and the Creator in manifestation. That which you align with
becomes your truth becomes your reality and the consciousness held within your physical being. Let love be the alignment of
your being. There is a need to embody, express and experience the love of the Creator because it is healing, uplifting
and freeing, more importantly due to the fact the love of the Creator is so abundant there is so much to experience. Even
a lifetime devoted to the embodiment, expression and experience of the Creator's love is not enough to explore fully the abundant
manifestations and experiences of the Creator's love, there is so much to experience. It is now time to unleash these beautiful
energies and experiences so new understandings and truths develop and are recognised from within your being, there is a magical
world waiting for you, born from within your being. Where there is love there is only love. Within your being there is
love, this means that there is only love within your being. If you align to this understanding and to the love within your
being by simply stating, affirming and committing yourself to this alignment, then this will be your experience eternally,
developing in magnificent ways throughout your reality and experiences. It is time to set yourself free and to know you are your
divine purpose, this knowingness is all that is required. With your alignment to love and your divine purpose, even if you
do not know your divine purpose, you will purify and cleanse your reality as everything that you are, create and experience
also becomes aligned. This is why many upon the Earth are experiencing people, energies, objects, experiences, situations,
beliefs, perspective falling away from them; it is because of a conscious and unconscious alignment that is taking place within
all souls. Every soul consciously and sometimes unconsciously is making a choice of alignment and experience upon the Earth.
This alignment is paving the way for generations to come and also for the continuous ascension of all upon the Earth and the
inner planes. That which you choose in every moment impacts upon your reality and the Ascension of all, this is why at this
time of transition, forgiveness is the greatest tool to support a loving reality of freedom of love. I am with you always, supporting,
loving and inspiring you, Let there be light and love in everything you do as you walk the pathway of your divine purpose
in the same way that I and Master Jesus and many more have done. We are one eternally, connected by truth and love, I honour
and respect you, I am your sister and the companion of your soul, here to serve as and with love. The Era of Love is the Time of

#5048 The Questions You Ask , September 20, 2014 God said: As
a human being in the world, refrain from asking yourself every day: “Am I happy today? How happy am I today? How unhappy
am I today?” Asking yourself for a report card of your happiness is an invitation to unhappiness.
Go about
your work and your life and take happiness as your due. Your happiness is not in question unless you debate it.
You
do not wake up every morning and ask yourself if you are alive. It is a good assumption that you are alive.
Hopefully,
you do not wake up every morning and ask: “Am I in good health this morning? Do I have a headache? Do I have a temperature?
Do I look pale?”
Nor is it worthwhile to ask: “What misgivings do I have today? What are my lacks?
What am I missing? Of what life has to offer, what am I missing?”
The fault lies in your questions, beloveds,
not the stars. You ask leading questions. You make a suggestion that may well disrupt you from the path of happiness, good
health, well-being, and so on.
Would you wake yourself up in the morning to the tune of such questions as: “Will
I be arrested today? Will I be run over by a car? Will my car run off the road?” Your questions may steer you down a
winding road.
In life, you are not in court. No lawyer is asking you questions upon which your life depends.
You are not on the stand. No one is asking you to incriminate yourself, yet this seems to be habit of your own, to put yourself
on trial. Better to take the high road, beloveds. Just drive on the road that is called Happiness. Don’t drive down
the road called Difficulties or Misadventures or Ramshackle or Poverty or Trouble or Heartbreak. What street do you desire?
That is the street to drive down. Not the ones behind you.
Responsibility for your life comes down to you. If
life is out of your hands, you make yourself a victim of the world. A victim is not a good role to play. It is rather a sniveling
role. What is a child of God doing sniveling anyway?
Do you wake up in the morning asking: “What can I
feel sorry for about myself today? What cause for self-pity do I have? Where are today’s lists of dissatisfaction? How
many pitfalls can I find? How many people can I think of today who have wronged me and gotten away with it? What calamity
awaits me today? Let me count the ways.”
If you want to count, count good fortune. Put misfortune away.
Do not give it an appealing book cover.
Yet there must be some pictures of woe that you carry that have appeal
to you, or why would you take them with you or look for them along the way and find them?
Come out into
the sunshine with Me. When you are in a field of daisies, you pick the daisies you like. You place the daisies you have picked
in the rooms of your house. You do not pick wilted flowers to put in your rooms, yet it seems that you pick fault all over
the place. You may even look for fields of skunk cabbage to dampen your spirits. Look for sweet flowers to fill up the rooms
of your thoughts.
You have not always been loyal to yourself nor loyal to your will and My Will. Point yourself
into the direction you will go now. Take a U-turn with your thoughts. Get onto the bandwagon of happiness. |

21 September Posted: 20 Sep 2014 01:47 AM PDT Nirvikalpa Samadhi
The state of samadhi is beyond
the reach of mind and speech. Even in worldly experience, you cannot express taste. You cannot express the taste of an apple
to one who has not tasted it, nor can you explain the nature of colour to a blind man. The state of samadhi is all joy, bliss
and peace; this much only can be said. One has to feel this for himself. In samadhi or the super-conscious state, the meditator loses his
individuality and becomes identical with the Supreme Self. He becomes an embodiment of bliss, peace and knowledge. So much
only can be said. This can be experienced by you through constant meditation. Nirvikalpa samadhi is the state of super-consciousness or godhead.
There is no vikalpa or imagination of any sort in this condition. This is the goal of life. All mental activities cease now.
The function of the intellect and the ten indriyas (senses) cease entirely. The spiritual aspirant now rests in Atman (Self). There is no distinction
between subject and object. The world and the pairs of opposites vanish absolutely. This is a state beyond all relativity
- though it is not a state of inertia. It is a condition of complete, perfect awareness. It is indescribable. It must
be felt and experienced by the aspirant himself. In this state the triad the knower, known and knowable disappears.
Man is now Brahman there is no jivahood. Try to enjoy that sleepless state wherein all senses and mind remain in a state of quietude and the
intellect ceases functioning. The sleepless sleep is maha nidra (the super-conscious state). There is no waking from this
sleep. In
samadhi the yogi gets himself merged in the Lord. All limitations and differences disappear. The yogi attains highest knowledge
and bliss. This state is beyond description. You will have to realise it yourself. Samadhi is the super-conscious state in which the
veil of ignorance is suddenly lifted and the devotee merges in the overwhelming glory of the one true divine effulgence. In
samadhi the soul becomes loosened from its material prison and is separated from individual consciousness. An ecstatic feeling of oneness
arises and the soul becomes absorbed in the infinite intelligence from which it emanated. After attaining samadhi a man, though possessed
of great spiritual powers, does not wish to change the conditions and circumstances in which he lived before attaining it.
In samadhi, ordinary consciousness has flowered into super-consciousness. The stream of samsara (the stream of births and
deaths) has ceased to flow.  | Satsang Bhavan Lectures, Message 8 Posted: 19 Sep 2014 10:00 PM PDT 15. Integral Sadhana / 16. Three Essentials
of Sadhana / 17. Guru is Indispensible
15. INTEGRAL SADHANA Both yoga and jnana are necessary
for annihilating the mind perfectly. Yoga without jnana cannot give you release or final emancipation. Jnana without yoga
also cannot liberate you. Just as a bird flies with the help of two wings, you should soar high and reach the paramdhama,
the vast illimitable domain of immortal bliss, with the help of yoga and jnana. We find the mention of sama and dama in Shad
Sampat, which is one of the items in Sadhana Chatushtaya in vedanta. Sama is serenity of mind which is achieved through the
eradication of all vrittis (thought waves) and dama is control of the senses. Sama and dama really pertain to yoga. So, yoga-cum-jnana
is necessary for the attainment of freedom, perfection, independence or kaivalya moksha. Simplicity,
humility, adaptability, tolerance, generosity, veracity, equanimity, steadiness, stairyam, tenacity of purpose, spirit of
service and cosmic love constitute divinity. If you develop all virtues, you become God. This is the secret of yoga; this
is the secret of renunciation; this is the secret of wisdom. You should have a thirst for knowledge-mumukshatwa.
Give up all worldly desires. Develop vairagya. Then you become Emperor of emperors. Vairagya does not mean that you should
move about in a nude state. Mental non-attachment to the things of the world is vairagya or renunciation. Do not think that
the objects of the world will give you happiness. Deeply ignorant is the man who thinks that he can get happiness in the world.
Develop discrimination. Discrimination is your highest bank balance and opulence. No object in the world will attract you
if you have got vairagya. Nothing can upset you. Even in adverse conditions you will be happy. That wealth you must have.
Try to attain it. Do Japa. Do kirtan. Do pranayama. Close your eyes, and look within. Introspect
regularly. Aspire fervently. Pray whole-heartedly. Meditate seriously. Have a program of lie. Maintain
the spiritual diary. Strive hard to attain the ideal. Even if you fall five hundred times in the spiritual path, again stand
up and walk, just as a child does when it learns how to walk. If you are sincere, you will get help from the indweller. So march on,
O adhyatmic hero. Plod on. Look not back. March forward and attain the inexhaustible spiritual wealth and enjoy infinite peace
and eternal bliss. 16. THE THREE ESSENTIALS OF SADHANA Many people
even after studying classic works on religion and philosophy, do not know what they should do in practice in order to attain
the goal of life, viz: God-realisation, and they seek enlightenment on the matter. The three things essential for God-realisation
are (1) constant remembrance of God, (2) cultivation of virtues and (3) spiritualisation of all activities. (1) Constant
remembrance of God. There may be breaks in the beginning, but by repeated practice, gradually you will have constant remembrance.
Constant nama smaran—Sri Ram, Sri Ram—alone is possible for the vast majority of people. Awakening of kundalini
and raising of brahmakara vritti are very far from them. (2) Cultivation of virtues. Of all virtues,
ahimsa (non-injury), satyam (truthfulness) and brahmacharya (celibacy) are the most important. If one is established in one
virtue, all other virtues will cling to him. Watch the vrittis. Introspect. Develop purity in thought, word and deed. In the
beginning practise at least physical purity. Then mental purity will come by itself. (3) Spiritualisation
of all activities. Feel you are instrument in the Lord's hands, and all the indriyas (senses) belong to him. Repeat the formula,
'I am Thine. All is Thine. Thy will be done'. It is a beautiful formula for self-surrender. You may forget this formula and
egoism may assert itself. But introspect again and again and find out your weakness. Try to be established in the feeling,
'I am an instrument in the hands of Lord'. Remember the Gita sloka: yat karodhi yadasnasi yajjuhoshi
dadasi yat yat tapasyasi kaunteya tat kurushwa madarpanam. (IX.27) Whatever you
do, eat, offer in sacrifice, give, or practise as austerity, do it as an offering unto the Lord. Praseeda devesa
jagannivasa—'O Lord of gods, resort for the world, have mercy'. It is a formula more potent than or as potent as prachodayat.
Pahi mam, palaya mam, prachodayat—these are all tremendous formulae. They are very powerful. So again and again remember
them and their significance. Sri Rama saranam mama; Sri Krishna saranam mama; Hari saranam—these are potent
Saranagati mantras. karpanyadoshopahataswobhavah, prichchami twam dharmasammooddachetah, yah sreyah
syat nischitam broohi tanme, sishyastheham sadhi mam twam prapannam. (Bhagavad Gita, II.7) 'My heart is
overpowered by the taint of pity; my mind is confused as to duty. I ask thee. Tell me decisively what is good for me. I am
thy disciple. Instruct me who has taken refuge in thee'. This is a Satguru-Saranagati mantra. sarvadharman
parityajya mamekam saranam vraja, aham twa sarvapapebhyo mokshayishyami ma suchah (Bhagavad Gita, XVIII.66) 'Abandoning
all duties, take refuge in Me alone; I will liberate thee from all sins, grieve not'. These are all Saranagati formulae.
In the Eighteenth Chapter there is the sloka: yasya nahamkrito bhavo buddhiryasya na lipyate, hatwapi sa
iman lokan na hanti na nibadhyate. (Bhagavad Gita, XVIII.17) 'He who has
no egoism, whose intelligence is not tainted by good or evil, even if he kills the whole world, he neither kills nor is bound
by the action'. Therefore, remember these slokas. You will have saranagati. You will feel that
the Lord is in you, and you are in the Lord. At the time of going to bed offer whatever you do to God. kayena vacha
manasa indriyairva buddhyatmana va prakriteswabhava karomi yatyat sakalam parasmai narayanayeti
samarpayami. Offer all the actions and their fruits also to God. Then you will not be bound. In this way you should
spiritualise all your activities. Feel that the whole world is a manifestation of the Lord and you are serving the Lord in
all names and forms, and whatever you do—your actions and the fruits—consecrate to the Lord. Then your heart will
be purified and will be ready to receive the divine light and grace. Therefore, practise the three
things—constant remembrance of God, spiritualising your activities and cultivating virtues. Repeat 'Krishna, Krishna'
or 'Ram, Ram' or 'Jesus', 'Vasudeva'. 'Vasudeva' means all pervading Lord, sarvavyapak, sarva-saktiman, existence, knowledge,
bliss, truth, love, beauty—satyam, sivam, sundaram. Cultivate virtues. Try to love everybody. Remove ghrina (hatred). These three
things are very important. Practise them. This is the easiest method, the quickest and surest method, for attaining God-realisation.
Brahma Sutras are meant only for a very few minority of people who possess subtle, sharp intellect. esha sarveshu
bhuteshu gooddatma na prakasate drisyate twagraya buddhya suksmya suksmadarsibhih. (Katha Upanishad, I.3.12) This Atman
is hidden in all beings, but it is seen only by subtle seers through their sharp and subtle intellect. The intellect should
be sharp like a blade. A very sharp, pure, subtle intellect is necessary to understand the Brahma Sutras properly. Therefore,
to the vast majority, constant remembrance of the Lord, spiritualisation of all activities and cultivation of virtues—ahimsa,
satyam, brahmacharya, these form the easiest sadhana. These also constitute the noble eightfold path of Lord Buddha.
They also correspond to the 'Sermon on the Mount' of Lord Jesus. These are the essentials of all religions. So kindly
practise these and attain God-realisation. Love all. Be good and do good. May Lord bless you all.
17. GURU IS INDISPENSABLE
Today is an
auspicious, wonderful, marvellous, glorious day. We have in our midst param pujya Sri Sankaracharya and our pujya bhagwan,
Swami Akhandananda. The swaroop of Bhagawan you will hear now. These suns are shining for dispelling darkness. A guru is necessary
for attaining knowledge of atma. You will find in Gita, tatviddhi pranipatena pariprasnena sevaya, upadisyanti
te jnanam jnaninah tatwadarsinah. (IV.34) Serve your guru. Service of the guru quickly purifies your mind.
In Svetaswatara Upanishad it is mentioned: yasya deve paradhaktih, yatha deve tatha gurau, tasyethe kathithahhyarthah
prakasante mahatmanah. (VI.23) He who has
devotion to the Lord, and has as much devotion to the guru as he has to the Lord, to him alone the truths of vedanta are revealed.
Acharyavan purusho veda. He who has got guru, to him is revealed the truth of vedanta. Guru dispels darkness, shows the way,
removes pitfalls and snares, but you will have to place your feet yourself. Guru cannot meditate for you. He who is hungry
has to take food himself. He who is thirsty has to drink water himself. The guru will enlighten you, inspire you. Do not expect
a magic pill from him. Do not expect that the guru will sprinkle a drop of water from his kamandalu over you and you
will attain nirvikalpa samadhi at once. You should do sadhana, cultivate divine virtues like Amanitwam, adambitwam, ahimsa
kshanti, arjavam. All these virtues you will have to develop. Serve the guru. You will attain the goal of life. What is the
goal of life? The goal of life is self-realisation. It is guru that will show you the path, remove the pitfalls. Serve him
well with bhakti. Swami Akhandanandaji is a world-famous exponent of Bhagavata.
Bhagavata contains the essence of vedanta, yoga marga and bhakti narga. The essence of all these is there. The eleventh skanda
will help you to attain God-realisation. Serve the guru. Purify yourself. Remove your arrogance. Remove your impudence.
Be humble. Cultivate virtues. Drink the nectar of immortality from the feet of satguru. You are eager to hear the nectarine
words from these great souls. They will give you whatever you want. They will give you supreme peace. Hear with rapt
attention.  |
