THE INNER CHILD IS GOD
I'm
going to read from a book. "The presence of this fifth dimensional energy
is enlightenment which brings about a shift of thought patterning for human
kind, for the old processes have come out of fear and destruction.
The
fifth dimensional shift brings about a greater strength with greater attunement
to the earth and allows a finer and greater attunement to the universal energy.
It will change the consciousness of mankind.
It is
brought about by an alignment of harmonic vibrations that will bring forth a
finer attunement within the physical world as well as in the mental and
spiritual. The patterns of the past that have worked on this planet will no
longer be a part of the patterns now coming about. To bring about a unification
of this planet and to change the thinking patterns of mankind is of great
necessity at this time. It is important to change the thought patterns of human
beings for much of the fifth dimension change comes from thought which is the
creative force of the universe.
There is
always some effect created by thought. There is a universal impact. The beings
upon this planet have great influence and there is a continual shift and change
within the structure of the universe that allows the planet to change as well.
These changes are wrought, to a large degree, by the attitudes and intentions,
by the consciousness of the people on the planet. Realize that all thought is
but energy, energy that is held within the personalities of human beings. You
are a receptor, a holder of that energy and you act upon it. That is why it
must change at this time for there has been much upheaval on the emotional
level of human kind. You must understand that thought is the creative force of
your universe. Be clear about it. It is the energy within and around you. It is
the same as you think of an aura, electric and being a part of your being. It
is the energy form of your being and is involved in the thinking processes of
your conscious mind. Therefore, you have the power to alter its patterns. Its
energy is available for your use and with its power humankind can influence the
universe. Through thought you have built the path. In thought, you exist in the
present. Within thought, you build your future. "
What the
basic denial in people is, of not being able to follow through on their
projects, commitments, relationships.. it’s not that they don’t have the
ability to confront, or that they couldn’t confront. It’s that they just don’t
know any better. They don’t have an ability to see themselves as they were from
the time they were a child, when they could never go and ask their father for
money because it was too painful. They couldn’t confront it. Their father would
say. They were always afraid of a no. They couldn’t tell him they failed, they
couldn’t make it, they couldn’t make an appointment, they couldn’t follow
through on what they said they were going to do, so they avoided .. and that
voids it for them. They just void it out. It’s no longer there. And that’s
what’s going on with everybody. They have these simple, little, childish traits
as adults, running around the world.
So
somebody calls you on the phone that needs help and you know they need it and
you don’t call them back. You don’t want to help them or you think you can’t,
or you tell yourself it’s hopeless. Or you need to do something for someone,
give them flowers, be gentle and you don’t even see it. So this avoidance is
just a childish thing that you did when you were a kid because you were
frightened that you would be punished, that you weren’t going to get good
grades and there was no approval from the teachers, and in the adult world
there was no appreciation or acknowledgement.
I have a
friend totally addicted, who went on the fast, quit smoking and drinking, he cleaned
out his colon and now he is in ecstasy but all those traits of avoidance are
exactly the same. Nothing changed in that domain because he doesn’t look at the
space that he occupies as the being who needs to actually graduate from this
infantile level and he doesn’t see it.
As
Werner said, he doesn’t see what’s missing as it doesn’t show up for him as
missing. If someone points it out and says this is missing, you can’t hear what
they’re saying to you. You have to be cognisant. The part about health. The
most obvious. If you look in the mirror naked, every day, your face, posture,
the fat, the softness, you’d see what you're avoiding in the health, diet,
cleansing program. If you’d see that part that you’re avoiding and then say
‘o.k, that’s what I’m doing, I’m willing to start anywhere being conscious.’
That’s all it takes. Being conscious of it. The rest will fall into place. Each
thing will happen as you roll along in life. As EST said. This is not a
prescription or formula you can take home but it’s just in the process of life
itself. It will show up. The work. The transformation.
So, now
we’re at the secret which is avoided in the dogshit level of life, which is in
the being part. In the doing part, we’re always faking it. Trying to show up
looking good. I’m doing the right thing, I’m getting the job done. I’m treating
others right. That’s how we show up as doing things. But in our being things,
we’re manipulating, lying, worrying and living in survival and hoping for the
best and worrying about our bills and what we should do is reverse it. We
should have in our BEING an absolute openness, clarity and generosity no matter
what the shape of things look like, and be a contributor from your BEING, that
I am totally open to give, be a brother, be in the family and be a real server.
And in the doing level, you don’t even care about. The body, the physical world
never stops doing whether you're sitting in a chair listening or speaking, or
making some food or eating or driving the car, or sleeping, the body is always
doing something. But it’s the being that is the mother of it all and it’s also
the m(&*#(%r that will get you totally miserable when you are not being
true to this aliveness, serving level. You’ll have total happiness if you live
at that level. If you’re at a disloyal level,---which means lying to oneself
that you’re really doing everything that you could to be ONE, but in reality,
your being is fragmented, separate and selfish—at the lowest level of
disloyalty—then, you will be miserable.
That’s
the game. Now, we’re going to do this cafe. It doesn’t matter whether you’re
the architect who’s just going to get paid and you’re not really going to
profit from it. Or you’re my friend who’s going to help and not really profit
in terms of the day to day income and the success of it, yet the spiritual
profit for those people could be bigger than anything for them. On the subtle
level, whatever his relationship with me, he’s going to be elevated, inspired,
get other jobs, have relationships out of it. He’s going to love what happens.
He’s going to have it as a trophy in his scrapbook, and be able to show it so
in that sense, there’s a lot of reward in it but the reward doesn’t count.
Doesn’t matter because the reward is the thing that God, your soul, always
gives you when you do things selflessly. The other thing that your soul gives
you is suffering—when you do things selfishly. That’s a reward too. One’s a
positive reward, one is not. Just two sides of the same thing. The soul doesn’t
care. It lives in absolute oneness with the negative and the positive. If you
do something that shows you suffering, the soul says ‘ah great.’ If you do
something that’s wonderful and ecstatic, the soul says ‘look what I did,
there.’ That’s what evolution is about. Eventually, you only do what the soul
wants, which is to live in absolute harmony.
When you
are able to experience both the results, the experience of the negative and the
positive, you then get to choose the beauty that you wish to create, and you
get to choose not to create that which you don’t want. So that’s ultimately the
secret. Perhaps it’s in your genes, three generations or a hundred, l00
lifetimes or a l00 million years, perhaps. You’ve acquired this addiction of
being in survival and treating people the way you treat them which means you’re
not creating unselfish, magnanimous giving. You’re not serving for the art and
the joy of serving but you’re serving so that you can survive. Perhaps that’s
an addiction, a habit, what we call karma, and maybe it’s something you can’t
do anything about.
If you
can’t do anything about it, you have to stop look and listen and be able to
humbly get off it and for that moment, go into complete silence and surrender
and say ‘I need help.’ When you’re an addict, you can’t do anything about it.
You’ve got to seek help. That’s why in AA they say the only answer is surrender
your life to a higher power. You see it on bumper stickers. I’m powerless. When
you’re powerless, you can get power. When you surrender, you can receive the
teacher. When you open yourself to saying ‘I’m addicted,’ you can quit. The
admission of your addiction allows us to have some power over it because in
that moment, we really surrender our will and let another will come in, someone
who can say to us, ‘you know, if you go on this fast, and you do this program
for a week, you won’t be addicted to coffee or cigarettes.’
The
family is about creativity, oneness, serving, honesty, giving to each other,
total unity, practice and perfecting and mastering the thing we’re doing
together and always serving each other. So, whatever project that we have,
whatever job, we come together and serve each other to make it, finish it,
complete it. Whether it comes out great, works and makes money is not
important. What’s important is the family, the job. If he’s down and I’m up,
he’s ok. If he’s up and I’m down, I’m ok. But this other game .. if you’re
down, the only thing that’s important is for you to get up. Crazy. When I’m
down, the only thing important is to get up so that we’re back into the harmony
that I can serve you even better. So, we’ve lost a lot of time but time doesn’t
mean anything. We’re always in this now. The time that we’ve lost and the
things that are going by and the vibrations that are increasing on the planet
are to prove to us that if we don’t come together, we are not going to be
together. If we don’t be together in our heads, we’re not going to come
together. We have to be together in our head, think about the whole, and be
giving and serving or you’re not going to come together. If you don’t come
together, you’re not going to have that being in your head. It’s a dual edged
sword. You have to have these meetings, come to the job, work together, cut the
trees, do the foundation, build the place by coming together but you can’t do
that unless you’re a being of one mind, unity, one idea of mastery of this
thing and sharing it with each other so that everybody’s ideas are on the table
and everybody is going to do their job.
You’re
addicted to not serving. It’s not a fault. It’s in your character, your M.O,
the way of being that you have that you are karmically addicted to. Like I have
a posture that’s bad. To change it, I have to constantly think about where the
positions of my chest, abdomen are, and how I’m sitting. Otherwise my addiction
will be there. I don’t care how much my vision is to have good posture. I don’t
care how much your vision is to do the things you want to do and that you talk
about if the addiction is to not be able to come up on line and do the results.
if I cannot come up on line and change my breathing, posture and position of my
chest, I will live and die with a structure that’s going to disintegrate into
the addiction, not into my vision. Now, what is unclear about that is only going
to be to the degree that you’re unable to kill your addiction. What’s unclear
about that for my body—we’re talking about the physical world, now.. this is
not a spiritual problem. It’s the spiritual, psychic part of us that will cure
the problem that is physical. It’s not a spiritual problem, it’s only where a
spiritual cure and the spiritual cure is when I have the attention and the
discipline to make my chest stand up and pull my stomach in and have the right
posture. That’s because I’m conscious and spiritually aware that I have to do
that because my addiction is to have bad posture.
No one
should be arrogant enough or egotistical enough to say ‘I am God’ and
everyone’s being tested to see if they’re going to measure up to the standards
but the truth is that we are all being tested to measure up to our own soul’s
standards. That’s why I say your vision which is your soul’s vision, you are
testing yourself all the time and you’re not living up to it. There’s no
reason, not because of this you’re not living up to it.. because you’re not
living up to it. Because I don’t have good posture. I have bad posture. It’s
not because I didn’t think and I’m not aware or conscious. Even though my
consciousness will make me aware but where it comes down to where the rubber hits
the road, it’s because I have good posture that I’ll have good posture. That’s
how amazingly insane it is.
In the
realm of reality you do not function as a server like in the realm of reality I
don’t have good posture. Even though I want it and even though you want to
serve you’re no good. Because you must be trained. You can’t play that
instrument just because you want to. You’ve got to be trained, got to practice,
got to see what you don’t know, what your fingers can’t do. Your soul knows it
all but we’re talking about transferring your soul into your doing and the only
way you can do that is to correct your soul. Your soul has to get the being
part. This is the difficult thing. This is not something anybody can do. Your
son cannot become aware and conscious being until he gets it that it’s
important, then you’ll see the results in the external world. Because one is a
goody goody for one week or two weeks? No, when my being gets it that I’m a
musician, I’ll practice for twenty years. The answer of one of my piano
teacher’s when I asked him how did Oscar Peterson get to play like that.. he
said ‘he practiced twelve hours a day for ten years.’ You have not, I have not
done certain things in my life 12 hours a day for l0 years or I would have
perfect posture and you would be a true server. So, what is a perfectly trained
being? One who serves and can do the result and be a talented genius at
whatever he does and that’s what a trained being is and we call that a master,
whether he’s a musician or a swimmer or a juice bar guy or a gardener or
farmer. So when I look at your being, I see you struggling with things that you
don’t need to do.
Werner
Erhardt said in the early 70’s ‘the definition of evil is trading your
aliveness for survival.’ What did he mean? He meant that when you thought about
your survival, when survival was on the line, when it was me, mine and my—when
I had to worry about my success, job, money, rent and relationships, that was
called survival. He said that was evil when you traded off aliveness, or the
ability to be a server, to go for the gold, to always create, to be in the
family, to have aliveness in your relationships no matter what it was, that you
never went for the survival part. So that ‘live’ is ‘evil’ spelled backwards.
That’s what I’m talking about. If we as a group, as a family ..no matter what
happens to me in my monetary situation, these kids we will always think about.
So why don’t we think about each other as kids. Why aren’t we all kids? Why
aren’t we all children to each other and all of us the father in back of the
pure, childish soul? Our soul, our
awareness is the father and it’s always thinking about us as its child. I’m
always thinking about you as my child but you don’t think about me, because
you’re into survival. When I’m down I don’t think about survival any more I
still think about you. I’m not saying I’m God, I’m not walking around testing
all of you. I’m walking around as the soul that is one with God walking around
testing ME. Therefore I know the same thing about you, that’s what’s happening
with you.
