Parenting: Grace or Consequence | Eckhart Tolle

To be spiritually aware simply means that one is more adept at listening to and nurturing the nature of their spirit. Granted that is sort of a vague description, but let me share a story with you that may help you understand what spiritual awareness is from a personal perspective.

Their working and prayer began a new work of God based on the New Testament of Christ’s death and resurrection and ascension. It is the prayer of faith that brings the power for the work. Since Christ went to the Father, they were now His body on earth. As the Head, He works from heaven, for and through His body, the Church. It would have been natural to expect that only lesser works could be accomplished once Jesus was in heaven, but this was not what He predicted.

Mother Mary was already an Ascended Master at the time of her life with Jesus – as was St John, the Baptist. She feels it is very important we realise what her Ascension experience was like into mastery. In the life she made her ascension, she was a woman living a nomadic desert life with her tribe in the Middle Eastern area. Remember this was more than 2000 years ago, prior to her life with Jesus.

People worry so much about dying that they fail to really live. There is a gift that is received when Death is confronted. Paradoxically, the gift of that confrontation is Life.

Do you have daily affirmations that you recite? Do you remind yourself of some statements on a frequent basis? The statements may be affirmations you constantly say so as to achieve some goals in relation to health, wealth and success.

There’s a part of me that doesn’t care about you. It’s not here to solve your problems, lend you an ear, or serve you in any other way. It looks out for me and me alone. Isn’t that a terrible thing? Actually, I don’t think so. In fact, I think acknowledging I have a “selfish” part – and, sometimes, doing what that part wants – is key to experiencing, and expressing, real compassion for people.

You may have heard the old story of Sisyphus – the man condemned by the gods to push a boulder up a hill, only to see it roll back down and be forced to start over, for all eternity. I think this story is a wonderful illustration of how human beings often suffer. We’re convinced that, in some way, we need to be better than we are, and we’re constantly struggling to improve. But somehow, we never seem to “get there” – perfection dangles just beyond our reach.

Have you ever heard of this phenomenon before? If you’re a fan of the alternative media web pages, like myself, you will no doubt have heard of it, especially via one or two of the gurus who are very active at present with their teaching seminars hoping to wake people up from their dumbed down Matrix slumber. Now, on the surface, this is all very fine, but as with all of these things there is always another agenda bubbling away in the background or sometimes it’s openly in the foreground with those who are more brazen with their infinite consciousness ideas. The thing is, is there is a spiritual dimension to all this stuff, and if so what spirit is it and who is ultimately behind it?

After doing a cord cutting session with a significant person in my life I have started to live further down in my body, the lower chakras, not just in my head. I find it very easy to not be in my body, I can be off in the ethers or my thoughts and emotions. But to feel my body has felt quite scary most of my life.

Each one of us is unique, hearing and observing from our own point of view. There is no right or wrong way. We have the opportunity to discern for ourselves what feels true and good in our hearts. What does Love feel like?

Ancient Egyptians believed Carnelian to be a source of vitality, sustaining the cycle of re-birth and renewal. It can be used as a focal point during meditation. In days gone by, the Garnet was used to ward off demons, protecting its wearers from phantoms in the darkness of night.
