THE JOURNEY TO ENLIGHTENMENT

BECOMING A MORE LOVING PERSON

DISCOVERING EVERYONE IS YOUR FRIEND

STEP 1

Calm down by visualizing LOVE flowing through you

Step 2

Step 3

Making you a more loving person

This step is very very difficult as you must first overcome your fear

Step 4

Ask him if this is what he meant to tell you

He will be happy to point out where your list is correct and where it needs to be revised

Thank him again for his suggestions and tell him you will be working on them

And want him to keep an eye on you And to let you know when you need more help

Step 5

Divide the list into three piles

Put the most difficult one's on your mental shelf

To be worked on when you are able to address them

Make a second almost able to do pile

Now start working on the easiest pile

Step 6

To remove your faults using his suggestions

You have turned an enemy into a teacher into a friend

Step 7

*** And you have just interacted with one ***

Step 8

You will eventually reach a point

Where you will be seeking out people who can upset you

And they will become harder and harder to find

ABSOLUTE JUSTICE

The two coming in contact will dissipate each other

The result will be as pleasant or unpleasant for you as the thought was when you created it

This is an absolute system of justice

And by your choices you are your own judge

MILE MARKERS ON YOUR JOURNEY

Self centered.........focused upon your own interests

Self serving...........advancing your own interests

Self willed..............tenacious adherence to your own interests

Self doubt..............questioning your direction

Self judgment.........evaluating your direction

Self pity................seeing your lack of concern for others

Self evaluation.......determining your worth

Self mastery..........removing ego from all decisions

Self less................your primary concern is your effect upon others

Self......................group consciousness

All of us will reach this last "self"

Where we are over qualified to be famous

And under qualified to be invisible

By allowing love to express through us

We are becoming a quiet helper a teacher

Some call these angels

LIVING AN IMPERSONAL LIFE

"You" with a compliment

Refer to "self" by first name

INTEGRITY

IS THE CUP HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY ?

And can hold only negative and positive thoughts

If it is half full of negative thoughts

Trying to remove them one by onewe end up with an empty cup

But if we keep putting positive thoughts into the cup

Each positive will push a negative one out of the cup

We end up with a cup full of positive thoughts

EXPERIENCE

The stove is hot

Knowing (faith) is the 'action' of personal discovery

Touching the stove

The difference between understanding and knowing is "experience"

And each new experience creates more compassion and less fear

Moving you closer to your "ideal"

IDEAL

I am light going to meet light and only goodness can result

Let there be more love in the world and let some flow through me

I AM expressing I AM THAT I AM

Create your own idealrefer to it frequently

And only make decisions that match this "ideal"

CRITICISM AND SUGGESTION ARE THE SAME WORD

And unhappy you were reminded

Suggestion...being reminded you are not following your "ideal"

And thankful someone took the time to tell you

Seek out people who can upset you And thank them for pointing out your faults

Refer to "Discovering Everyone Is Your Friend" above

HOW DO YOU FIND A TRUE TEACHER ?

A "true" teacher will never react feeling it was a criticism

He will know it was a suggestion

To him criticism and suggestion are the same word

There will be a pause

As he analyzes your input

Using the eight step program above

Then he will thank you

This friend is a role model without emotion

FORGIVENESS CLOSURE

For holding such anger against another

Forgiveness will happen when you are able to refocus your thoughts

Anger attracts anger

Calm attracts peace "closure"

"Absolute Justice" will establish balance

JUST A SUGGESTION

"I am your voice of intuition"

"I will guide you when you listen"

LOVE

Our purpose is to allow this presence to express through us

This expression we call LOVE

By giving attention acknowledgment appreciation respect and admiration to all we encounter

Until it becomes so automatic we are no longer aware of doing it

We have become a channel for this expression

By giving what we wanted to receive

We became that which we sought

THE SILENCE

Become quiet

Assume a comfortable position

Focus on a positive mental image

Until you are aware of your body and mind

But they no longer interfere

Enter the silence

You are no longer aware of your mind and body

You and your soul are one

Become absorbed by the "presence"

Your soul is one with the "presence"

Your focus is absolute without "time" Your minds are joined

Allowing the "presence" to express through you

Your whole life changes

Becoming easier

More fulfilling

Healthy

You are no longer responsible for your actions

You are only responsible for remaining "receptive"

This is called

ENLIGHTENMENT... THE AWAKENING

FILLING THE 'VOID' WITHIN

And we spend our time seeking to fill this emptiness

We call this being "lonely"

Imagine we each have a "love" tank within us

And the degree of empty or lonely we feel

Is how much "love" we have in our tank

Happy, content, sad, worried, depressed all describe this

We say there are "good" and "bad" people

These words only describe how much love is in someone's tank

Our purpose is to acquire more love and this happens

Each time we allow the "presence" to express through us

We are not here to change others

We are here to change ourself

Others will notice this "enlightened" change

And through admiration of our efforts

They will seek to make similar changes in their lives

And when they encounter difficulties

They will ask us how we were able to overcome them

We have become the "teacher" we have always sought

When we have a problem

We are the problem

As we are the only thing we can change

Others are here to "upset" us by providing contrast

Showing us we need to make a personal change within

We need to be thankful they took the time to help us

By listening to their advice we can grow

Others are at their own level of awareness

And are trying to grow just as we are

Our purpose is become a friend to everyone

To become a silent teacher a quiet helper

We are all "one"

PEACE

This is where the "presence" exists

"contrast" .. good-bad .. sad-happy .. cannot exist

When we are in this state of "peace"

We need to become more aware of how pleasant we feel

Awake .. we are in the home of "contrast"

This is when we easily experience being upset angry sad

When awake remember the pleasant state of being at "peace"

And practice returning to it to allow anger lonely sad to disappear

If we have a contrast thought while at "peace" we immediately jump to awake

Our goal is to remain at "peace" all the time

This is the "impersonal" state...healthy without fear emotion or desire

Here we are open to the voice of "intuition"

If we unknowingly upset another an apology is automatic

We are seeking to encourage others with kindness and encouragement

The purpose of the state of "peace" to be at one with the "presence"

And allow the "presence" to express through us

This is the state we call "love"

Something we all are constantly seeking without success

Because we cannot share love with each other

We can only allow it to happen through us

We have become so detached from our connection with the "presence"

We have forgotten who we really are

Being at "peace" returns us "home"
