In His annual benediction to humanity (delivered each year on New Year’s Eve), Louix Dor Dempriey proclaims 2012 as The Year of Faith. The rapid and intense planetary transformation occurring this year requires that ones rely on their faith like never before. As systems and organizations that are not founded and grounded in love continue to crumble and dissolve at ever-increasing rates, people’s faith will be tested. It is important to increase your faith and trust, and to stand strong in your conviction—and you will be victorious. Transformation of this nature can often change people’s lives dramatically (spouse, job, residence, etc.); therefore, detachment, surrender, and acceptance of these inevitable changes are paramount. Louix reminds us that our attachments and desires are what create pain in our lives, not our circumstances.

Louix covers the multi-faceted topic of having a family while pursuing a spiritual path. He advises ones to make caring for and serving the family the most important of all spiritual practices. By so doing, ones can have very profound experiences of God, similar to those attained through meditation or other spiritual practices.

A huge part of Louix's mission is to bring the Law of Tithing to the world, which, He explains, is the most direct, fast, and powerful way to eradicate poverty from our world, as well as the means for manifesting abundance (in every area of our lives). Through tithing, we give back to the Creator ten percent of our gross income, after which the Creator/Universe blesses us by giving us back ten-fold. Living by this principle brings us into harmony with Creation, because the Universe was built with this 10:1 ratio, thus we are fulfilling the cycle of life. Since love is the only element necessary to sustain our existence, Louix advises that we give our tithe to the source that gives us our greatest spiritual nourishment, whether that be one’s Guru/spiritual teacher, church/organization, or perhaps (if the former are lacking) a charity or cause in which we are involved. To read more about this, see Louix's article entitled The End of Poverty.

Louix Dor Dempriey explains the power of the spoken word and then gives us simple, yet powerful tools to apply this principle to our lives by the way we speak. In this discourse, you will learn how to always give ourselves (and others) the opportunity to recreate ourselves as Love in every moment, avoid using negative affirmations, speak the truth in a way that is self-empowering (rather than self-condemning), and use the power of the spoken word to transform your life.

The same dynamic can be found in the New Age movement. The pursuit of enlightenment, ascension, bi-location, teleportation, etc. are all pursuits of false gods. They are attachments and distractions of the mind. Desires are acts of Separation. Inherent in one’s desire for anything is the belief that one lacks something and, therefore, needs something. Thus, desire places an object of pursuit before God which, in turn, distances one even further from God.

Desire not the fruits of life with God.
Desire, instead, life with God.

Life with The Beloved is not about enlightenment. It is about falling so completely in love with Creation that you are in Oneness with everything in any given moment. Then the next moment comes and you fall in love all over again. What if it is God’s will that you do not attain enlightenment in this embodiment? Does that mean you fail? No. The only desire worth having is to become consumed by God’s love. Place no conditions upon what that looks like. God is love. Thus, yearn to know love, to feel love, to express love, and to become love—beyond limit. If that means enlightenment, then accept it. If it means being married, single, gay, straight, rich, poor, with or without kids, famous or unknown, accept that too. It does not matter. Those titles, positions, and attributes are simply what God needs to play this game of chess with your lives. Furthermore, all those attainments of the material world are gone forever in the instant you transit your physical form, from a life whose entirety only amounts to one blink of your soul’s eternal eye.

God does not need six billion people enlightened in this decade, or in this century for that matter. God needs a surrendered, willing heart that says, “Use me according to Thy will.” There are countless people who are not enlightened Masters, yet live so completely in rapture with God, and it blesses everything they do. I have seen many working in hotels and restaurants. The love I see oozing out of them almost brings Me to tears. Some of them are going home to screaming children, no money, and fifteen people living in a one-room box of a house with no windows; yet, they walk in grace because they feel the love of God constantly in their hearts. They see it, and insist on seeing it, in every single thing they do. That is the magic which helps them transcend their circumstance. Many of them have never read a book on ascension and might think enlightenment is what happens when you flip the light switch on a wall. Do you think it matters? Do you think they care? Their focus is on God, not on His gifts.

Love is what everyone is seeking. The irony is that all have the power to have it in any moment. Many just do not give themselves permission, partly because they do not believe that they can have it. Most have been taught that life is about having to attain something. Others believe that, once they become enlightened, then they will have that love. But it is the other way around. It is the love which leads one into enlightenment.

No moment lives beyond the confines of itself. All that matters is to fill each moment with the highest amount of love you can muster, then ache to give even more. It is in these moments that you are in Oneness. It is in these moments that you are living life with The Beloved.

You are entitled to your own judgments, opinions, and feelings. None are wrong, none are right, but they are simply that—judgments, opinions, and feelings. As you continue to more fully accept My invitation to see them as that, while at the same time seeing all circumstances in your life as God’s will unfolding perfectly—by your own soul’s decree and in your own soul’s delight, even while you may experience torment or upset—your soul delights and invites you to do the same, for all that you can see, smell, and touch with your five primary senses is all illusion.

What lies beyond most mortal’s capabilities (or practices, I should say, for all are capable) is what is real—that which can be perceived by the purely loving heart, by the soul’s intuitive powers, and by the sacred gifts which lie dormant within the consciousnesses of most all human beings… in other words, the unseen hand and word of God. That is what is real.

May you come to know, see, feel, and experience more and more of that world, which is your world, which is all that is real. May you come to accept, with unconditional love, non-judgment, and non-attachment all that tempts your five lower senses into believing the unreal as being real.

In the wake of Japan’s recent earthquake and tsunami (which caused one of the largest nuclear catastrophes in the last thirty years), an even larger wave of fear and concerns has arisen in people’s minds, about what else is going to happen and/or where ones can go to find safety and take refuge during this time of rapid and volatile change in the world. In this video, Louix explains how these changes are a way of restoring balance on the planet—whose resources have been squandered and misappropriated. He shows us that the most direct and powerful way to find safety and inner peace is to focus on purifying our own consciousnesses and to restore balance in our relationships with others, the earth, and the Divine.

In this poignant discourse, Louix describes the effects that listening to music can have on one's body, mind, and aura. He qualifies all of His statements by stating that "dense" music is not limited to any specific type or genre of music, and stresses the importance of not generalizing about one type of music. He discusses how discordant sounds and vibrations can ravage and debilitate the human aura and, conversely, how music of very high/loving vibration can heal and uplift you, with even the ability of removing karma and toxicity.

Come to Me

I AM the Beloved you long to unite with.
Take your focus and place it upon Me.
Have a love affair with Me.
No, it will not take the form you are accustomed to;
But, if you strive to follow Me,
It can be far richer.

Love Me through a sunset.
Make love to Me in the rustling of leaves,
the crashing of waves, and the whispering of the wind.
See Me in the eyes of a child.
That is Me longing and reaching for you.
You can hold Me when you hold an animal. An infant.
When you shake the hand of a stranger,
know that it is really My hand you are shaking.

You tell Me you feel lonely and alone.
Truth be known, you have never been more with Me
than at this very moment, and that, My love,
is the pain you are experiencing.
It is the remembrance of how we once danced as One.
And, as I assist you by taking away everything in your life,
so that all you have left is Me,
the pain of that realization is taking hold of you.
You see, I long for you even more than you long for Me.
I can no longer bear to be without you.
And so I begged permission of your soul to, in this lifetime,
claim you as My very own.

Come to Me.
Where the sun meets the sea, look for Me.
I AM waiting for you, calling to you.
Unto and through every element and breath of Creation
do I reach My hands out to you. Come to Me.
Come to Me…

This process of Divine cause and effect is, likewise, unavoidable. Many people, quite simply, do not like this. They want to luxuriate upon receiving the blessing of so great a Love, but they loathe and despise having to become accountable to that Love. There is an age-old adage, “Much will be given, and much will be demanded.” And while it is true that the Love of all loves knows only to give and give without asking in return, it is not the Giver who demands (as most ignorantly accuse), but the self-replicating, all-perfecting, ever-radiating nature—itself—of the love given, which demands loyalty, obedience, and servitude. Whenever there is resistance to this Universal Law of cause and effect, pain and suffering results. It is a virtual impossibility, however, to have one without the other. The very nature of God’s love is that it first reflects, and then perfects, all that is not of that Love.

It is the nature of God’s love to refine and reform. Thus, I ask that you feel blessed, and that you acknowledge yourselves with pride for having called forth this opportunity for personal growth and expansion. Remember, it is the squeaking wheel that gets the grease. How could you NOT face growth as a result of such an extended exposure to the all-transforming power and presence of God’s love? Be in joy.

I understand, and have great compassion for, the fact that pain often accompanies growth. Consider the pain that many women experience during childbirth. Is there any more profound example of this dynamic in all the world? Look at the new, perfect creation of God that comes forth in spite of, and in many ways because of, all that some mothers endure. The journey to God-realization is, itself, a birthing process. The gestating fetus to which you are giving birth is the full, radiant divinity that has long lain dormant within yourself. It is also important to realize that pain is not a prerequisite for growth. Where there is surrender, there is no pain, regardless of circumstance. This applies to the birthing of an infant, as well as to the birthing of divine consciousness.

My focus is upon two things only: guiding you through the lessons you have brought to My feet, and gifting the world (in answer to its prayer and its cry) with My love and wisdom, the dearth of which has been the cause of much heartache, confusion, hopelessness, and suffering. That is what is real. The rest is all illusion.

I love you with all My heart, with all that I AM. Forever do you remain in My embrace, and forever is My blessing upon you.

May these words bring you joy, upliftment, and a renewed sense of hope and inner peace.

Everything that happens to us, and everything we do, occurs solely for the purpose of our God-realization. Thus, suicide is yet another life lesson, a life experience from which we learn and grow and expand into higher and more loving consciousness. Furthermore, all choices we make come with consequences and create karma, either positive or negative. The same is true with suicide. It is a form of murder, the murder of one’s own holy body; thus, a tremendous karma is incurred. It is a rather moot point to even mention that because anyone who has become so forlorn, depressed, and in despair, as to no longer place any intrinsic value upon the greatest gift ever given to a soul by the Creator, is not even thinking about karma, much less concerned about it. Therefore, I will not spend any more time addressing the karmic aspect. Suffice to say that all our choices bear consequences in the great cycle of life.

Does that mean suicide is a “right” course of action to resolve a hopeless situation, because it is “just” another life lesson? First of all, it is important not to speak in terms of right and wrong, good and bad. From most perspectives, it is a very sad and tragic “loss,” regardless of the perfection in all things. Just to put minds at ease, God does not view suicide as bad or wrong or ugly. God is the constant emanation of unconditional love and acceptance and adoration. At the same time, if you want to personify God and see Him/Her as the Divine and loving parent, there would of course be a sadness in the way any truly loving parent would view the loss of its child… though God looks at a lot of things that way (i.e. with sadness), in the personified understanding of God as parent:  when people turn their backs on God; when people constantly choose to act non-lovingly when they could so easily be loving; when people choose to betray themselves by making very unwise or foolish choices, when they know better. God views all those things as very sad and tragic. But, again, that’s looking at God in a personified sense.

God, as seen and understood in terms of the Creator, as the constant and consummate emanation of unconditional love, sees and accepts suicide as one more life lesson that people have chosen to undergo. This is completely independent of consequences that the individual (who has taken his/her life) would incur. Now, does that mean I am advocating it as an option, a solution to one’s problems? Absolutely not! And I will now elaborate as to why.

One of the very hallmarks of My teachings is the universal principle that everything is forgivable, and everything is redeemable. By definition, then, suicide is no exception… and this is true. It is also true that some people reach a point in life, whereby they believe—to the very core of their being—that they do not have any other choice, any other way out. They believe they have lost all hope. Here is where the crux of this discourse comes into play.

Before I continue, and to circumvent any judgments readers may have of My writing these words from a didactic perspective only, I would like to make some important clarifications. For decades I have been communing with and assisting many souls having just left their embodiments—as well as those contemplating this tragic crime against Love, against oneself—helping them to understand, and helping them find their way again. And from the human perspective, I have had much experience with this subject. In My teens, I went through a period during which I contemplated taking My own life. I also had the huge undertaking of having to save the life of a dear friend in college, whom I found lying in the grass one night after having just overdosed. Keeping her awake and having to watch her go through that ordeal was extremely painful. Almost ten years later, this scenario played out again while I was living in Hollywood; this time, however, the victim was My very dearest and closest friend and soul mate in the world… and he called Me well into his overdose. I barely got him to the hospital in time to save him—he was already unconscious, and then I had to watch the hideous stomach pumping, and all the other graphic and horrific aspects (which I will omit here) that accompany this ordeal—the worst of which is what it did to his body (and to his mind). Finally, I lost My only son to suicide in 2007, at the tender age of 15. Words fall infinitely short of describing the toll that event took on My life and on the lives of all our family.

What I want to say to all those who are now considering, or have contemplated, suicide is this:  The very first thing that every single victim of suicide discovers and cries out to the heavens, moments after leaving his/her embodiment is, “Oh, my God! I did not have to do that.” Other immediate realizations they all have are:  a) a wish to not have done it and a huge feeling of frustration over not being able to cross back over the threshold and back into their embodiments; b) never having conceived of the ramifications of it upon their lives and soul journeys (obviously); c) not having had any idea of the impact their suicides were going to have on their friends, relatives, and loved ones (which they can now clearly see from the other side); and d) a willingness to give anything to have the chance to make that choice over again, this time choosing to live. I have never once encountered a single exception to this chain of reactions to one’s suicide. Why I’m telling you that is so that you don’t have to go through that same trauma, after the fact.

The second most important thing I want to say to anyone who may be reading these words, or hearing them in whatever form they have reached you, and who may be considering the taking of your precious life, is this:  There is always another way. There is always a way to find your way out of the maze and out of your predicament—without having to take your own life… always. So, please, never give up hope. If you are not finding the help you need where you are, go somewhere else, find it somewhere else, in someone else—whatever it takes:  by phone, by foot, by bus, by plane…. Please, you must know that there is always help available… always. And if you feel you have tried everything to get help, please call even louder to God and He will send help. All prayers are heard; all prayers are answered… when the call is sincere and persevering. God will show up, will answer the soul’s cry for help. It is a parent’s instinct. But it is only through faith that we gain intimacy with God. You must have faith. Believe.

When Moses stood at the foot of Mount Sinai, he said to the woman (who would later become his wife) that he was very angry about the plight of his people, dissatisfied with what was being done (by God) about it, and that he was going to walk up that holy mountain and talk to God. He was going to get some answers. Bewildered, she said to him, “You can’t do that. You can pray to God, but God’s not going to show up for you, and God is certainly not going to talk to you.” With that, Moses said to her, “Oh, God will talk to me. I am going to demand—and command— His presence… and I am not coming off that mountain until He does.”

The whole world knows the rest of the story. He did speak to, and hear directly from, God. And Moses went on to have many personal encounters with God. Why? What commanded God’s presence was the purity of his motive and the power of his faith, as well as his courage, conviction, and perseverance. We all have those qualities. We all have those abilities.

We all need to know this, to believe it, command it, and demand it… hopefully, in a loving and reverent way, but if you have to do it in an angry and nasty way, so be it. God is not so much concerned how we come to the altar, only that we come. Human anger and feistiness shows passion and aliveness. The most difficult ones for God to reach are the lethargic, the indifferent, the apathetic. But the people who are lovingly passionate and the people who are rip-roaring mad—they are alive. So get all fired up, if you must. Simply know, have faith, believe… and persevere. Never give up. Ask and you shall receive.

In His annual benediction to humanity (delivered each year on New Year’s Eve), Louix Dor Dempriey has proclaimed 2011 as The Year of the Guru. This moment, He said, marks the dawn of a new era, in that God-realized beings will now enter the collective consciousness like never before. These ones, who walk in this world solely to liberate others from the labyrinth of Separation, hold the solutions to the problems which are the cause of society’s corruption and decay, problems which have been escalating out of control.

In this video clip, Louix delivers a powerful message on the topic of suicide, addressing it from the human perspective, as well as from God's perspective. For those who feel that there is no other option than taking their own lives, Louix urges them to see that there is always hope, there is always help available, even if not seemingly at hand. In this video, He inspires people how to find the kind of help they need and deserve.

He also implores all of us to call out even louder and more passionately to God (for everything in our lives), and God will show up. He then uses the example of how the power of Moses' passionate plea and the purity of his faith virtually summoned God to manifest before him… proving the age-old adage:  "Ask and you shall receive."

With just a few months left in the year, Louix revisits His Divine dispensation for 2010 as being The Year of Adoration, and helps to deepen our focus and attunement to this year's powerful energies (click here to watch the video clip of Louix proclaiming 2010 as The Year of Adoration, and elaborating upon the same). Drawing from examples from His own life, He reminds us that this year is all about sincerely taking on our Creator as our lover and best friend—and to personify that relationship as real, in our everyday lives.

For those of us who are fortunate enough to have a Guru, we should realize that our relationship with our Guru is our relationship with God. Other relationships in which we can practice adoration and devotion include our spouse or partner, our pets, and our children. Ideally, we ought to be striving to have that Divine relationship with everything and everyone (which is the ultimate goal). Louix reminds us once again that the path of devotion is the highest path to God, as it is the quickest, most powerful and direct vehicle to attain the exalted state of self-love, which, in turn, is the vehicle to God-realization.

One of My greatest hopes is to help people avert the drama, hype, and fallout that occurred during the whole “Y2K” debacle. Yes, it is true that the world is changing faster than most can comprehend, much less follow. It is true that we are at a pivotal turning point in the evolution of this species. And yes, it is true that much will happen in 2012. My point is:  It is already happening now! There will simply be exponentially more and more change taking place with each passing year—and continuing long after 2012 has come and gone.

We are now in the Age of Enlightenment, moving out of the Piscean Age and into the Age of Aquarius. There are two major events happening at this time which are noteworthy. Whereas all individuals will experience their spiritual awakening at some point in a given lifetime—it is different for each person, and happens at a specific age and moment for each person—what is happening now is that the planet itself is going through its spiritual awakening (by “planet” I am also referring to the human race, as a single entity). In other words, just as creatures evolved from the sea to, at some point, walk on land, the human race has now evolved to the point whereby it is now ready to live as love, in accordance with and in obedience to God’s will.

What we are witnessing right now is our approach to crossing that threshold of consciousness—as an entire species. Furthermore, the human species is only at the beginning of that window of transcendence, which really kicked into high gear with the “hippy” movement of the early 1960’s. That was, you might say, the birth of humanity’s Awakening. This 2012 transition is tantamount to humanity’s consciousness now entering puberty. The planet and the human race is now quickly moving towards the point whereby and wherein the collective critical mass (i.e. more than 50%) of the world’s population will have had its spiritual awakening and be living in the pursuit of self-purification, of alignment with Divine will, and with loving motive and purpose as its mainstay. The planet is nowhere near that figure as of yet; however, God needs this to happen, and so it shall. It is Destiny, not merely a nicety.

Thy will be done—and is—always and everywhere.

Everything and everyone is dispensable in achieving God’s will. Because most people are still so resistant to “surrendering to God’s will,” certain events have to happen to “invite”—and, if need be, coerce—this surrender and obedience to Divine will. This is the reasoning behind all the accelerated Earth changes (climate change, disease, droughts, storms, and other “catastrophes”) that we see. Whenever humans say “no” to this Destiny, the Universe (in this case, Mother Earth) enters and acts on our behalf to create the needed surrender for us. It is a simple inverse relationship, balancing on the fulcrum known as “free will” (i.e. our choices). The more we surrender and obey, the less has to happen by way of earth changes. The less we surrender, the more that has to happen to invite (or coerce, if human willfulness and resistance is high enough) surrender. The only choice any of us really has is whether we wish to follow the Path of Grace or the Path of Suffering. The outcome is the same. This principle is true on an individual level, as well as on the collective level.

This leads Me to the second major point (which is really another way of expanding upon the first). What is falling away is the “free will zone.” Free will is a Divine dispensation (to use the power of God, any way we want), originally bequeathed to us to use as a homing device for finding our way back into the arms and heart of The Creator. The fact that most humans still use it to gratify their senses and fulfill their carnal desires (in order to numb the pain of feeling separate from God) is what has caused all the trouble and damage in and to this planet and its people in the first place. The accelerated Light coming onto the planet is now making it more and more clear that “free” will is not so free after all. Moreover, the price of using it in self-serving and non-loving ways is becoming higher and higher. In other words, the acceleration is actually increasing the hitherto 10:1 ratio for the Law of Karma (i.e. reaping ten-fold that which we sow has risen up to 1,000-fold for some people). Love is reclaiming dominion of this planet whether anyone likes it, or believes it, or not. Plain and simple.
 

It is becoming more and more painful to use the gift of free will in non-accordance with God’s will.

So how does 2012 play into all of this? As I said, the acceleration is increasing exponentially with every passing year. And even the exponential increases between years is increasing every year. That is because this critical mass is earmarked by God to be reached in this 21st century. Considering that it is currently far lower than 50%, a lot has to happen very quickly, especially since the level (percentage) of human resistance to God/Love is still far, far greater than the level or rate of awakening/surrender to God/Love. (Notice, however, how fast people are awakening—in movies, media, art, music, politics, etc.) Nonetheless, one of the outpicturings of the massive resistance (the ones who still insist on saying, “No! i will do what i want, when i want, and do it my way!) is that a mass exodus is occurring. “No” to God is no longer an option, and more and more are discovering this, even though they would not know it in the way I have described. Your soul, by design, removes whatever stands between you and God. If the obstacle is your embodiment itself, your soul would happily remove that, since we are all immortal anyway.

Perhaps the most pointless use of free will is waiting to see what will happen, while changing none of your non-loving habits and patterns. We each have the power to effect change on a global—and even Cosmic—level… each one of us. What is called for, here and now, is adopting the “It’s all up to me” consciousness. Those who are waiting for 2012 will be waiting for 3012. The dates will come and go; and, yes, we will see many things in the news that will be of colossal and historical significance… but, again:  We are seeing them now! There will just be more and more of them.

I find it very sad to see how many people have been buying into the many inane and insane theories and predictions about what is going to happen:  the end of the world; the end of money and return to a system of only bartering; the end of all governments; total economic and political collapse and/or annihilation; invasion and takeover by a race from another planet; total destruction of all major cities… the list is as equally endless as it is absurd.

If, while reading this, you are thinking:  “But you are still not saying what will actually happen in 2012?” please consider that I am doing far more than that. This very question is predicated upon a focus that has been placed on the Physical Plane (the earth’s rotation slowing down, the end of the Mayan calendar, influx of more advanced e.t.’s to help us, etc.). This all focuses on “what” will happen. I am giving you all a far greater and richer gift. I am shifting your focus to the Causal Plane, the “why” it is all happening. God has infinite resources (the “what’s”) available to achieve the “why.” It doesn’t matter whether or not more banks fail (and they will), if there are more natural disasters (and there shall be many, many more—bigger and more frequent), or whether economies continue to collapse (and they shall).

These are only some of the ways God is finally getting humanity’s attention, finally getting us to see the sheer insignificance of our small stories, finally getting us to see and accept that there is a far greater and more beautiful plan for us than anyone ever dreamed possible. And, of course, finally having our undivided attention, after we have exhausted all attempts to control our lives and have it “our” way, God’s voice will now be heard and obeyed—and the blessings from that union and co-creation shall rain upon this land and into the lives of ones, surrendered, in a way of which poets can only dream.

What will serve God and this planet best is for each of us to place and keep our focus on self-purification. Purify all four levels of your creation—thoughts, feelings, words, and deeds—more and more, every day. Be fully accountable to Truth and Love. Self reflect and make changes. Use your gift of free will to attune to God’s will and to serve it to the best of your ability. More and more, surrender all your desires, so that God’s highest desires for you can be fulfilled. God cannot fill the chalice of one whose chalice is already full of small, petty desires of the flesh and of material gain—all of which are ephemeral and will be left behind.

God cannot serve the one who is content in serving himself.

Focus more and more on helping and serving others, and make the well-being of all your sisters and brothers as important as your own. This engenders selflessness, the highest attainment of the human spirit. Selflessness breeds unconditional love and endears one to God like nothing else.

Do all this, and you will ride the crest of the wave called “2012” and be placed squarely, gracefully, and divinely into 2013, a year of tremendous Divine love on Planet Earth. Will there still be earth changes in 2013 and beyond? Absolutely. In fact, there will be even more than now. The only difference being that an enormous amount of human resistance will have been removed (gracefully or painfully), and there will be an unprecedented level of recognition of, as well as attunement and surrender to, the will of God. That is what these next three years will achieve, one way or the other.

Another by-product of this rapid transformation at this time is that this ridiculous, ignorant, and time-wasting denial (in the media, in politics, in world leaders, in the human collective mind) of the absurdly obvious and inalienable Truths will have greatly fallen to the wayside. If nothing else, the next three years (2010-2012) will bring the important Truths into the limelight and into the collective agreement and acceptance. Perhaps the supreme example being set by the runaway oil spill occurring right now in the Gulf of Mexico will pave the way… sadly, at great cost. But remember:  God always uses the least means necessary to achieve His will. The fact that it is taking something as tragic as this oil spill to finally get humanity to evolve beyond the use of fossil fuels is both tragically sad—and good—at the same time. The question is:  Will God’s message be heard? Or will it take something bigger? Even the oil companies—and their owners—know that we have already evolved past using oil as an energy source. It is only greed that keeps waylaying the inevitable. If this (divinely necessary) tragedy succeeds in coercing collective agreement and action, then the sacrifice will have been worth it—glorified, in fact.

This is what “2012” is all about, and here it is happening right now, in 2010. As each of us goes through our “growing pains” in the process of waking up to the Truth, a glorious outcome will occur in this century. Human beings will have first and foremost learned to honor, respect, and care for the Earth as God, and to love and care for themselves and each other, as God loves and cares for us. Whatever it takes to achieve this inexorable outcome is simply what it takes. Like any child, we can learn willingly and gracefully, or we can kick, fight, argue, defy—and thereby suffer. The outcome is the same, individually and collectively.

Above all, remember that all is happening in perfection in every moment, all according to God’s Master Plan for Creation. God uses whatever you bring to the table.

Where there is surrender, there is no pain, regardless of circumstance.

I will begin by giving you the solution:  Rather than trying to fit God conveniently into your life or your ‘week-at-a-glance’ calendar, fit your entire life and existence into God’s. You are a subset of God; God is not a subset of you. You are a physical extension of God, a manifested aspect of the entire Godhead. In other words, God is the brain of the co-creative relationship you two have, and you are the hand. Does the hand tell the brain what to do? Of course not. The brain directs the hand. And so defines the created and intended relationship between God and all His children.

“You and I are one. You are part of Me. You wove into form, to fulfill My plan on this planet, as part of Me. We do not function apart. Your job, when you incarnate, is to remember that. Do whatever it takes to come to the realization that you are an extension of Me, an appendage. You do not have a separate mind. You do not have a separate will. You do not have separate desires—you never did. Those are demons and illusions that you have given yourself permission to have, to justify your feelings that you are separate from Me.”

You might say to Me that this is so obvious and trite; however, if that were true, then why is there all this talk about (the illusion of) “free” will? “I can do whatever I want, because God gave me the gift of free will.” Well, first off, let us dispense with the poetry. “Free” will is no more than “separate” will. It is a Divine dispensation, for the expressed duration of our living in the experience of separation from God, whereby we are given the freedom to use the full power of God any way we like. What a gift! What humanity has forgotten is that God gave us that power/choice to use as a homing device. Paradoxically, most everyone uses free will to travel further from God. How? By using it to gratify the senses. Why? To numb the pain of feeling separate from God.

Desire is the cause of all suffering.

What is imperative to expose here is the source of all human wants and needs. Desire is the great disease of a separate consciousness. It is the cause of all suffering and the very essence of Separation. To desire anything, you must inherently believe that you are separate from the object of your desire and that you actually need said object of desire. How, then, does one achieve the state of surrender? Let go of all desires. Give them back to God. To be truly surrendered can only mean to be truly desireless.

Every cell that is occupied by the self is one less cell that can be occupied by God.

If you are trying to fit God’s plan into yours, you will always be unfulfilled in life. God already knows all your needs—even before you do. It behooves God to continuously provide for all your soul’s needs, since you are responsible for manifesting God’s will on Earth and then caring for these creations of Love. God would never keep anything from you. God wants you to have everything. God placed all the wonders and riches on this planet for you to enjoy. Earth was created as a playground for the gods. Awareness of, and trust in, this truth is all that is needed to allow God to use you as an instrument. Every dream God has for you, God is doing everything to bring to you. The real question is, “What are you doing to allow that dream to manifest?”

Somehow, along the way, a belief came about that God created the bounty of the material plane as an instrument of torture. Distorted religious teachings about renunciation and poverty as spiritual ideals only served to add to this discordant thought form. People corroborate their distorted beliefs by observing and misquoting the lives and teachings of ones such as the Buddha or Mother Teresa. These great ones did not preach of the need for poverty. Their message was about detachment. Many confuse renunciation for poverty. Renouncing the material plane is no more than a vehicle for attaining the highly evolved state of detachment. Renunciation is a means to an end, rather than an end in and of itself. It also happens to be a very successful vehicle. Once a consciousness lives in that state, then the pleasures of the material world take on a whole new meaning and experience. It is from the place of not needing them that God’s material gifts can truly be enjoyed.

There are the many who cry out, “Yes, but what about my dream?” To this I say:  Whence do you think your dreams came? In order for you to even have a dream, God had to have that dream first, because God put the dream in you. Why not let God care for God’s dream, living and growing inside of you? I can promise you this:  The most fantastic and grandiose dream you have harbored for your life is the size of a breadcrumb compared to the smallest of God’s dreams for you. The limitations within the human consciousness cannot fathom what can only be conceived through a Mind and Heart (i.e. God’s) wielding the infinite capacity to love. Furthermore, you can never fully realize and live God’s dream for you until you relinquish your own dreams for yourself. Many think and claim that they have, but this is just one more self-delusion of which people convince themselves, to justify the continued pursuit of sense-gratification in order to numb the pain of feeling separate from God—even if now under the guise of “devotion” and “surrender.” Since human beings are run by desire, isn’t it more wise to entrust your dream into the hands of the One whose entire existence and power is devoted to serving you and revealing your divine magnificence?

What I am describing is the ultimate win/win combination. Anything you give up (which God and your soul need you to have) will automatically come back to you, albeit in an even more free and beautiful way. Why, then, are people so attached to their dreams and desires? The answer is simple:  lack of faith. You cling to your desires and dreams out of fear that, without them—and your efforts to protect them—you will have nothing. Society helps by polluting our minds with axioms such as, “kill or be killed,” “survival of the fittest,” “look out for Number One,” etc.

Why do so many dreams not manifest? Lack of trust in God. Why do so many people distrust God? Because they feel that God has not manifested (what they think are) their dreams. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? God came first—and must come first, always and everywhere. There is a third reason why so many dreams do not manifest (the first two being lack of trust in God to fulfill His dream in you, and the fact that many “dreams” are sourced by selfish desire instead of by the will of God). The third reason is that few come to the altar of God with an empty chalice; instead, they come with chalices filled with attachments, expectations, demands, and personal agendas. How can God possibly fill your chalice with riches of mind, body, and soul if your chalice is already full? You must come naked to the altar of your Lord in order to truly receive your divine inheritance. Release all your desires, terms, and conditions. How can God serve you if you have Him all bound and gagged by all the conditions you place upon how, when, and where He must provide for you.

God cannot serve the one who is content in serving himself.

Speaking of agendas and perpetrations, it is time I expose one of the most subtle and insidious of them all. What most cannot see, and refuse to admit to themselves, is that they come to God as the “lender of last resort.” What I mean by that is:  Most come to God only after they have tried every other conceivable means of achieving and fulfilling their own personal desires. Only when they have failed to get what they want, and finally give up, do many then see God as an option to consider. In other words, many finally turn to God so that they can get what they want. Few are they who come to God simply to luxuriate in His company, to feel the touch of His embrace, His gaze of adoration, asking nothing in return, wanting nothing…. Fortunately, because of God’s infinite and unconditional love for us, God does not care how we come, only that we come.

There is an even more dangerous attachment than “attachment to personal desire” and that is “attachment to prophecy and Revelation.” The temptation to get attached to prophecy is huge:  “But Mother Mary said…,” “My Guru said…,” “Four different psychics said…,” “It is in my astrology chart”… the list goes on and on. Without even knowing it, you begin aching, hankering, and waiting for “it” to happen. Beneath these attachments is the belief that something outside of you will bring you fulfillment. Dwelling on the past and attaching to the future are two of the main preoccupations of ones who will do anything to avoid being “present.”

Every seed of God’s will needs to be planted in the physical plane. Revelations are seeds planted in you, which then begin to gestate and grow. And they will initiate you, because the mind attaches to them and starts interpreting them. When God gives you a Revelation, receive it and drink it in with gratitude. Take it into every part of your being, and then give it back to God. Trust that it is inside you now, growing. It will do what it needs to do. Avoid any temptation to hold onto it or make something out of it. God gives you His dreams to be their steward, not their owner. Accepting this truth gifts you with a sense of inner peace, born of detachment. By surrendering to the ebb and flow of Creation, you are instantly in union with God.

It is God’s plan… Let God worry about it.

Why is there such an all-pervasive resistance to surrender? There are many fears, lessons, and layers through which one must pass. It is a lifelong process. However, at the very core level of human existence lies the single, greatest fear:  the loss of identity. Given a voice, this deep, unconscious fear speaks:  “If I give back every single piece of me, down to the very last thread connecting me to the earth, then I will not exist. There will be none of me left. I will not even know who I am. I will have nothing to call my own. I will have no reason, no purpose. I will just be a blob, a void—like wallpaper.” It is that thread to any sense of personal identity to which a consciousness clings most.

In actuality, there is some validity to this fear. You will eventually lose what you have always known to be your identity. However, the identity of which you are letting go, the one to which you have become so attached, is the one which was formed by all the many parts of your separate self, your inauthentic self. It is understandable that you became attached to them. The distorted ego personality was all you knew. The resistance to letting go is so great because most are only looking at half of the equation. Once that identity has been dissolved, what remains is not “nothing”; it is, instead, your Divine Self—your divinity—radiant and whole. It is more than a fair trade. Surrendering your life and very existence unto God, to receive His dream for you, is equivalent to trading in a piece of coal for a flawless diamond.

This gets to the core of it all. What I am speaking about is the “surrender’s surrender.” How far will you go for God? Would you give up, as Abraham did, your firstborn son? Would you give up your dream for a house—or a lover—if you knew that it was fulfilling God’s wish and was endearing you to God? Would you give up your life itself, as Jesus did? God says, “Do this for Me. That is all I ask, and so many blessings will shower upon humanity and yourself by so doing. Will you do this for Me?” Very easy it is for ones to say “yes” while sitting in church or in a prayer circle, but how about when theory becomes reality? Divesting ourselves of all the conditions we place upon serving God brings us into deeper and deeper states of surrender.

True power is accessed through surrender.

The more you surrender the personal will, the personal desires, the sense-gratifying, selfish needs and wants, the more your divine power and God’s divine power take hold of you in absolutely astounding ways. The key is to ache for God—to feel, know, and become more of God—inside and outside of you, with absolutely no conditions or expectations placed upon Him. Next is to accept, with joy, whatever that looks like in your life and however that might manifest. Ultimately, it is to serve and obey, without question, in true faith and devotion, and with a heart filled with gratitude for the privilege and honor it is to be entrusted with manifesting God’s plan on Earth.

What is Surrender? “Here but for the grace of God stand I. Use me according to Thy will.”

The Difference Between Refined Salt and Unrefined Salt

-  Dr. David Brownstein

Introduction

Salt is salt, right? Of course not. Just as there are many different brands of cars, there are many differences in various salt brands. This chapter will focus on the difference between refined and unrefined salt. Salt in its natural form is referred to as unrefined salt. Unrefined salt has not been altered by man. Therefore, it contains many different minerals and elements that are useful for the body.

For example, unrefined sea salt (e.g., Celtic Sea Salt) contains over 80 minerals and elements—all the natural elements necessary for life. This is contrasted with refined salt which contains two major items: sodium and chloride.
 

Refined Salt

How is salt refined? Most commercial refined salt has been harvested mechanically from various salt mines as brine. Brine is a highly concentrated solution of water and salt. Prior to mechanical evaporation, the brine is often treated with chemicals to remove minerals (which are sold for use in industry). The minerals are referred to as “impurities” in salt. These chemicals used to treat refined salt can include sulfuric acid or chlorine. Next, water is evaporated under high compression and heat which disrupts the molecular structure of salt. Finally, almost all of the moisture in the salt is removed in a fluidized-bed dryer.

All food-grade salt available in the U.S. must comply with the National Academy of Science’s Food Chemicals Codex Sodium Chloride Monograph (1996). Up to 2% of food-grade salt may contain anti-caking, free flowing, or conditioning agents. These agents may include sodium ferrocyanide, ammonium citrate, and aluminum silicate. None of these products have any positive effects in the body. Dextrose, also known as refined sugar, is used as a stabilizer so that iodide will stay in the salt. The final purity of food-grade salt is between 99.7-99.95% “pure”. Pure refers to the sodium and chloride content. The other “impurities”, including healthy minerals and elements, have been removed from refined salt.

Table 1: Contents of Refined Iodized Salt

Why is Salt Refined?

You may be asking yourself the above question. Salt is refined for four main reasons:

1. Refined salt, having all of its minerals removed (i.e., “purified”) is essentially a lifeless product. Being a lifeless product assures a long shelf life. In fact, refined salt can sit on the grocery shelf forever. A long shelf life is a valuable tool to maximize profits for food manufacturers.

2. Manufacturers believe that an all-white salt product will look cleaner to the consumer and, therefore, increase sales. Refined salt is bleached in order to obtain the white color.

3. If the salt is taken from a polluted area, the refining process will remove the toxins associated with the salt.

4. Iodine is added to refined salt to prevent goiter (swelling of the thyroid). However, as pointed out in my book, Iodine, Why You Need It , Why You Can’t Live Without It, there is insufficient iodine in salt to prevent thyroid illnesses or to provide for the body’s iodine needs.
 

Unrefined Salt

As contrasted with refined salt, unrefined salt contains much more than sodium and chloride. Unrefined salt contains all of the elements necessary for life. Celtic Sea Salt (Light Grey) contains 33% sodium, 50.9% chloride, 1.8% minerals and trace elements and 14.3 % moisture. Table 2 shows the major contents of unrefined Celtic Sea Salt. Unrefined salt does not contain appreciable amounts of iodide.
 

Table 2: Major Contents of Unrefined Celtic Sea Salt

How Is Unrefined Salt Harvested?

Unrefined salt has not been put through various machines to remove the minerals and other elements that are naturally part of the salt. In addition, unrefined salt has not been exposed to harsh chemicals. Finally, unrefined salt will have the minerals and elements associated with its origin.
 

Celtic Sea Salt

In the case of Celtic Sea Salt, it is harvested near the coast of northwestern France. Ocean water is channeled through a series of clay-lined ponds. Next, the wind and sun evaporate the ocean water, leaving mineral rich brine. When the salt farmer gathers the brine using wooden tools, salt crystals begin to form. This is essentially the same method of gathering salt as the ancient Celts used over 2,000 years ago.

This gentle method of gathering the salt ensures that the salt will contain healthy minerals and other elements that are meant to be in salt. There are other sources of unrefined salt besides Celtic Sea Salt. Redmond’s Real Salt® is mined from salt deposits near Redmond, Utah. Redmond’s salt does not undergo a refining process and therefore contains a wide array of minerals. Table 3 gives you the major contents of unrefined Redmond’s Salt.
 

Table 3: Unrefined Redmond’s Salt

Why You Should Use Unrefined Salt: The pH Factor

As previously mentioned, unrefined salt has many healthy minerals associated with it. On the other hand, refined salt contains primarily sodium and chloride as well as toxic additives. Unrefined salt is a whole food product which is easily utilized by the body. The additional minerals such as magnesium and potassium are essential for a healthy immune system. These additional agents are meant to be ingested at the same time as sodium and chloride are ingested. Refined salt, in its highly processed form, is an unnatural substance to the body. Over millennia of time, our bodies were not exposed to salt as just sodium and chloride. Humans evolved over time using natural, unrefined salt with its full complement of minerals. Enzymes and hormones in our bodies were designed to utilize salt in its whole, natural form; not in a foreign, refined state.

The consequence of utilizing salt in a devitalized form is a poorly functioning immune system, initiation and acceleration of chronic illness, and promotion of acidity.
 

Acidity and Alkalinity

The pH of the body is a measure of the acidity or alkalinity of the body. In an acidic body, the pH is lowered, while in an alkaline body, the pH is elevated. The body has many overlapping mechanisms designed to keep the pH of the body in a neutral statearound pH of 7.2.

When the pH of the body becomes either too acidic or too alkaline, normal physiologic functions decline. The organs of the body (kidneys, liver, brain, etc.,) do not function efficiently unless the pH of the body is neutral (≈7.2). Enzymes, the catalysts for the body, are very sensitive to pH changes. They will lose most of their function when the pH is altered. Immune system cells are unable to protect us when the pH is imbalanced. In fact, no part of the body will work efficiently if the pH is not properly balanced.

An acidic pH is associated with many chronic illnesses including cancer, arthritis, osteoporosis, and Candida, as well as hormonal imbalances. Majid Ali, one of the foremost practitioners in holistic medicine has written that an acidic pH is a marker of the absence of health in the body.
 

Food and pH

The food we eat can have a dramatic effect on pH. Generally, refined foods, devitalized of all the healthy vitamins, minerals, and enzymes, are acidifying to the body. Minerals are one of the most alkalinizing agents to the body. Due to poor diets, many people today are mineral deficient. Mineral deficiency is often associated with a lowered pH (<7.0). Refined salt has no minerals in it, while unrefined salt is loaded with minerals. It is not rocket science to realize that unrefined salt will be better to promote a healthy pH.

In fact, all refined foods, (including refined sugar, flour, oils, etc.) lack minerals, vitamins, and enzymes. When we eat these devitalized foods, our body has to use its own store of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes to break down food. Over time, this will lead to nutrient deficiencies and chronic illness. Furthermore, eating devitalized food leads to acidity in the body. Due the prevalence of refined food, it is no wonder that most people run on the acidic side. My experience has shown that it is impossible to overcome chronic illness when there is an acidic condition present. Cancer and chronic illness are two of the consequences of an acidic pH. Cancer cells will proliferate in an acidic environment. In fact, most chronic illnesses will occur in an acidic environment. It is very difficult to overcome any chronic illness if the pH of the body is acidic (i.e., pH<7.2). In an experiment at home (performed by my daughter Jessi), one teaspoon of Celtic Sea Salt in ½ cup of filtered water increased the pH of the water from 6.4 (baseline) to 6.8-7.0. The same amount of refined salt, on the other hand, decreased the pH from 6.4 to 6.0. Refined salt, lacking the buffering effect of the minerals, is an acidifying substance for the body. On the other hand, unrefined salt helps to maintain a more neutral pH and can actually help elevate an acidic pH.

In order to promote a more neutral pH, unrefined salt needs to be the salt of choice. Refined salt should be avoided at all costs.

Sue, 61 years old, has numerous food allergies. Over the years, she has become more and more allergic. Sue was reacting to nearly everything she was in contact with including foods. “I don’t know what to eat. Everything seems to bother me,” she complained. Now, she even has difficulty with taking supplements because she reacts to them. “I can’t even take vitamins because they upset my body. I feel like I am allergic to everything,” she said. Sue had tried different techniques to help her allergies with minimal effects. When I had Sue check the pH of her urine and saliva, she found that her pH was very acidic. Upon further investigation, Sue found that foods containing refined salt caused her pH to become more acidic. She said, “I could not believe that the foods that you eat can change the pH so dramatically.” When Sue removed refined salt from her diet and added Celtic Sea Salt, her pH significantly increased. “The most important thing I found was that when my pH elevated, my food allergies went away. I felt much better. My energy improved and I could think more clearly. Also, I am able to take supplements when my pH is elevated,” she said. Now, Sue monitors her pH daily and adjust her diet accordingly.
 

Final Thoughts

There is a huge difference between refined and unrefined salt. Unrefined salt is packed with essential minerals and supplies the body with a proper balance of sodium and chloride with over 80 trace minerals.

Refined salt is a poor food choice. It has no place in our diet. Without the balancing effect of the trace minerals, refined salt provides the body with too much sodium. Sodium was meant to be ingested with its complement of trace minerals. The consequences of the ingestion of large amounts of refined salt are mineral deficiencies, acidity, and the onset of chronic illness. Unrefined salt should be the salt of choice. My clinical experience clearly shows that this is a healthier salt choice, as compared to refined salt.

Many have come to know Ram Dass by way of his breakout bestseller, Be Here Now, which he wrote about and after his time spent in India, in the divine company of his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba. Miracle of Love is a compilation of stories and lilas, written and spoken by scores of disciples and devotees of this great Master, as well as accounts collected from seekers and travelers from all walks of life, ones who had the great blessing of being in the company of this renowned saint. The stories are at once compelling, intriguing, varied, and often entertaining, as the reader gets quite an insider’s look at (and vicarious experience of) all the magic and wonder that happens in the presence and company of saints, this one in particular.

Himself an embodiment of Hanuman (the Hindu deity known as the embodiment of devotion, and celebrated for his devotion to his Master, Rama), it is no wonder that so much of Neem Karoli Baba’s life and message was to inspire in others that same fathomless level of devotion to God and Guru. What is most fascinating about Neem Karoli Baba is his utter simplicity. Spending much of his time sitting upon his “tucket,” devotees would surround him and drink of the love he emanated, all the while becoming more and more devoted to him… thereby to God… and ultimately to self—the whole meaning, magic, and purpose of devotion. This book is itself a lesson and training in the Art of Devotion.

Those who choose to see devotion as an act of weakness have yet to discover why Bhakti yoga is the highest—and fastest—path to God-realization. Why is that? Simply put:  Devotion is quickest path to self-love, and the journey to God-realization is the journey into absolute and total, unconditional love of and for all aspects of self. And it is by our devotion to another (and all others) that we master loving ourselves. Add to that the fact that, when your gaze and devotion is directed at a God-realized being, you are receiving the darshan of that one (his blessing, which is an infusion of his actual God-vibration), you are receiving a direct transference of spiritual power, and you are accelerating your soul’s evolution faster than by any other means available to humankind.

Reading this book will change the way many people see the act of devotion. It is My intention and hope that, by reading this (and other books by and about fully God-realized Masters), you will find greater strength, inspiration, encouragement, and will become smitten with a newfound love of God. Most of all, may you discover the true spiritual power and myriad benefits to be gained through the selfless and masterful practice of devotion.

All negative feelings and emotions that are repressed or suppressed cause illness in the mind and body. The emotional body rules the physical. The fact that one’s issues are, perhaps, denied or truly unconscious is irrelevant. Just look at your body to know the truth. Your body is a flawless mirror and barometer for seeing and assessing the state of your consciousness. By reading the physical signs, the answer can very easily lead to the question. If your body is riddled with cancerous tumors, you have issues and something is “eating” away at you, whether or not you agree with that diagnosis. “As within, so without.” Your job is to ascertain the source and to deal with it.

I need to begin with a few basics. There is no such thing as a terminal disease. Nobody has ever died from cancer. Ever. Cancer is only an indicator from your soul that something in your consciousness needs serious adjustment. The physical plane is the densest plane of Creation and the very last place anything shows up. Your soul/God/the universe was sending you signs and messages long, long before the first cancer cell ever appeared. For most, cancer is the final call to change. There are only two reasons why cancer serves as the vehicle for millions to complete their embodiments: 1) the belief (consciously or unconsciously) that cancer is terminal; and/or 2) not sufficiently addressing the self-negativity which prompted the cancer cells to appear in order to get your attention.

Your body is a completely sealed ecosystem, designed and built from the perfection of God’s love and adoration as a model of God’s own immortality. As such, anything less than “perfect love” that you experience—on any level of your being—within that sealed ecosystem, you, alone, introduced into it. Therefore, you also have the power to get it out of your body, mind, aura, etc. Once you have adopted this belief system, you will have transcended the biggest illusion and will be best poised to receive all necessary assistance available to you.

The emotional body has a tiered structure. As it begins to thaw, anger is the first emotion to be accessed. Because it is at the surface of the emotional cauldron of negativity, it is also what is overtly projected onto others the most, as well as what unwittingly squirts out the seams of a heart and consciousness, frozen for years, and onto other people. The very deepest level of non-loving emotions is grief. There are very few people on Earth who even finish cleansing and clearing all their anger in the course of an entire lifetime. It is for these reasons that I shall focus this discourse on how to responsibly transmute and discharge anger, although these techniques can equally be used for sadness, grief, depression, frustration, lust, and many others.

Anger is a normal part of the human evolution of consciousness. Pretending that one does not have or feel any anger does not dissolve or dismiss that anger—nor does saying, “all is love, all is wonderful” rid one of anger. Pious lips do not make a pious heart. While affirmations and mantras are most certainly powerful healing and transmuting tools, they (in and of themselves) are not enough. Anyone who thinks they are is living in a very deep state of denial.

The human soul, body, and consciousness are designed and built from pure Love. They also feed only on pure Love for their life sustenance. Furthermore, anything less than perfect, unconditional love is poison in the human ecosystems—physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual. Thus, any time you (as the sole creator and engineer of your life) introduce into your auric field anything less than pure Love, your soul (by Divine design) immediately takes action to expel that energy (poison) from all levels of your being. You have no “say” in this; it is the Law and Order of Creation. Your soul is constantly expelling the negativity from your body and mind. The better you are at holding it in (or inappropriately vomiting it on others), the quicker you are killing yourself. The poison must come out AND it must not be put onto others.

The use of positive affirmations is a crucial part of a healthy heart, mind, and body. The operative word is “part.” Form does follow thought. Where your thoughts take you is where your life follows. And since the spoken word wields the full power of Creation, whatever you speak, you create. This, naturally, applies to non-loving creations as well as loving ones.

Everything—including emotions—is energy. And energy, as most people know, can never be destroyed. It can only be altered from one form to another. It is from this fundamental scientific and spiritual truth that I am offering a set of iron-clad tools for transmuting the non-loving energy of anger into loving energy of various forms. (As I mentioned, these same tools can also be used to transmute other non-loving energies into pure, loving ones.)

It is very important to create a sacred space, prior to taking action, by speaking (silently or aloud) your knowingness that:  a) all your negativity—though very painful—is, on the highest plane of Creation, an illusion; b) all that you are feeling is of your own creation and nobody did anything “to” you; c) you are expressing this distortion and pain and offering it up to God to be taken from you, in sacredness and supplication, so that it no longer poisons your system.

In order to be successful with these techniques, you must first be willing to adhere to the one, most important, Golden Rule:  Never—but never—project your anger onto another human being, no matter how justified you feel your reasons might be. You would fare better without a tongue than to speak vulgar or mean words with the one God loaned to you. You would fare better without a hand than to raise yours against another, for any reason.

That having been said, the first method is that of direct transference. When you find the anger welling inside of you, find something upon which to “take it out.” My recommendations include these:  write all your anger on paper and then burn it; beat a cardboard box to smithereens with a stick or club; throw a kicking, thrashing fit on your bed; take an old object you no longer need and annihilate it; bury your face into a very thick pillow and scream like you have really wanted but never had the courage to; or stand, waist deep, in the ocean and scream all your pain and angst out to sea, giving it to Mother Earth (or deep in a forest, high on a mountain or cliff, etc.). These activities act as a poultice, drawing the poison out of your body. In all of these instances, you are to continue until you arrive at a peaceful place or until the limitations of your physical body prevent you from continuing (which is another way of knowing that you have finished).

The second technique is to redirect the energy of anger through physical exertion or exercise. There are two excellent vehicles you can use to achieve this. The first is to engage in one of your favorite sports or activities—jogging, swimming, weightlifting, rollerblading, etc. In this instance you are channeling and actually transforming the non-loving energy into a healthy and appropriate one.

The other vehicle in the physical exertion technique is to channel your anger into some household project: painting, construction, cleaning, or gardening. Choosing a project which is physically demanding or time-consuming, or one that you constantly find yourself procrastinating, is the best choice for this type of transformation. In this practice, the non-loving energy (anger) is again being transformed into love.
The third technique is one of My favorites, though each one may have occasions when it is best suited to your situation. This final technique is to move into service. When you find yourself “stuck” (a convenient euphemism for “unwilling”) in your anger, choose to do something for another as the means to transmute the anger and, thereby, return yourself to a loving space. The more negativity or non-love you need to purge, the more you need to serve another.

The best choices for accessing those nasty little morsels of anger that “get stuck in the cracks of your consciousness” are the activities you normally would not think of doing for another. Examples include:  going to a friend’s house and cooking dinner for the whole family (and doing the dishes afterwards); pulling all the weeds and tilling the soil in another’s garden; doing someone else’s laundry and ironing; washing and waxing your neighbor’s car, and the list goes on.

All of these techniques work 100% of the time. They are foolproof. The only conditions are that you stay in the chosen activity until you have shifted and, of course, that your activity does not violate another’s right to privacy, quiet, etc. Sadly, no matter with how many people I share these gifts, rarely have I seen individuals choose to take action in order to heal the anger and move back into love. Most often, ones choose (the coward’s way of) indulging in the negative emotion, wallowing in self-pity, and continuing to project their own refuse upon others. “It’s too hard” is one more excuse for remaining a victim. Just do it. If the solution were easy and meaningless, it would not be of any value to you. Read, again, the first line in this paragraph and ask yourself what is your objective. Is it to move out of anger (sadness, hopelessness, depression, etc.) or to enjoy it a while longer? Either choice is fine. Just be honest with yourself… it is your life; it is your body.

Please note that I listed the various techniques by increasing levels of consciousness. In other words, the “highest” path of love would invite one into service as the means for transmuting. At the same time, it is of vital importance to be honest with oneself. Thus, if in a given moment, your ego is not interested in “forgiveness” and it really just wants “good ole revenge,” then by all means get the steel pipe out and bash a cardboard box, or throw that fit on your bed, or go hit the punching bag while cursing the delusion out of your body until you are exhausted and/or at peace (or both). Do recognize, though, that at some point in your life, you will need to move out of victim consciousness.

Please bear in mind that, while these methods do transmute your negativity and move you back into a loving space, they do not negate the need to find the source of your anger. What I am offering are ways to restore the balance, peace, and equanimity which enables you to then address the disassociated parts of self which drew circumstances to you that resulted in your feelings of anger.

The closer your transmuting activity can be to the moments during which you are feeling the anger, the better. Sometimes you simply cannot leave what you are doing to engage in this way, although it is rare that you could not excuse yourself in any given situation, for at least a few minutes, to get clear and centered once again. When that happens, promise yourself that you will address the situation in your very next available moment.

Lastly, remember that every circumstance will stay in your aura (environment) until it has completed serving you in all the myriad ways you wanted, needed, chose, and created it to do… whether or not you agree, like it, or profess to the contrary. The universe sends you that for which you ask. If you refuse your own creation, the universe (as pure Love) assumes you did not hear the message or missed the sign and, therefore, sends the gift again—this time bigger and louder. Whatever you resist not only persists, but also intensifies.

If you are willing to take full ownership of all your circumstances and environments as being your own inner self projected outside of you for the purpose of self-reflection, correction, and refinement, and if you are willing to do whatever it takes to maintain and/or return to a loving space, then you are well on your way to a life of mastery and true inner peace.

With great conviction, John Reed (from Sydney, Australia) urges anyone who has a sincere yearning for God to “take a chance and come to Him," and to “drop your every-day world and dive into the sea of love that Pranananda is gifting us.” Once living in a sea of despair (in the wake of his wife's passing), he found the greatest Love he'd ever known, the moment he met the Master. In this riveting interview, he tells of how even the most loving human relationship in the world cannot compare to the all-consuming Divine Love that embraces ones who walk with God-realized beings.

In this teleconference call, Louix explores the reasons why homophobia is so prolific, explaining that it is people's judgment and/or repression of their own sexuality that leads them to condemn others. He explains that our souls (which are neither male nor female, but both), prior to embodying, meticulously choose and design every aspect of our lives—including the gender we will inhabit, as well as our sexual preference for that given lifetime—for the purpose of bringing us into deeper levels of wholeness and self-love.

In this intimate interview, Zimmaron Zsido recounts the fascinating story of how his Guru led him through an immense healing and rite of passage, wherein he broke through the veils of Separation and wound up in a fully God-merged state (known as Samadhi). In the wake of this nine-hour healing, he was blessed to live for more than a week in a fully enlightened state, offering sage advice to others and basking in the Oneness of God. This validated his knowing that liberation of the soul is, indeed, real, available to, and attainable by, all. In the video, Zimmaron also reflects upon the impact this had on his life and the profound blessing of having a Guru.

Dear Pranananda,

Having recently spent a few days with my parents has brought up a lot for me, and I am feeling a tremendous amount of pain and sadness. I allowed myself to be consumed by my Mum’s thoughts about how I should be living my life—she, being the voice of my ego, and me, just wanting to run away from everything and have all the things that “I want” and not what God wants for me.

It feels like my family have all split off and gone in separate directions. I am so scared and so hurt that my family has become this way. My Mum’s sister is not even speaking to my parents anymore, and she didn’t want to come and see me while I was there. I see my Mum and her avoidance of the truth and the pain it causes her. I see her husband just allowing her to manipulate and control him. I worry about them so much, I worry about their marriage, and I see and hear his confusion and pain of denying that part of himself that so desperately wants to be with God. Mum just puts a lid on it all; she won’t even allow him to display Your photo in the house.

I feel completely heart broken, and I feel myself wanting to be there for them to protect them and reach out to them. I miss them so much. I feel somewhat desperate and distressed because I just don’t know how or if I can get through this one; it just feels so big.

I feel really bad writing to You time after time, talking of all this sadness, because in my heart I trust You and I know I am in the right place. My mind just feels a bit crazy at times and I feel clouded over with emotions, and it makes me feel so far away from God.

I just miss my parents so much, and I worry about them all the time. I feel very resistant to the situation that we are in as a family, and at this time do not feel the blessing it is gifting me. I am overwhelmed and do not know what to do.

Thank You for listening to my cry and holding me up when I feel I cannot go on.

I love You.

- Your loving disciple

(Pranananda’s reply):

My beloved,

Thank you for your letter. As for your perceived “plight” regarding your parents, it is important to remember that it is not your job to “fix” them. They are big boys and girls; and their problems existed long, long before they ever met Me. It has been through the Master’s grace that their problems have now been illuminated and exposed for them to finally heal them. Please remember:  All of what they are experiencing was going to happen anyway, had they never met Me.

The Guru illuminates and accelerates the (inevitable) destiny of every soul.

Your mother and aunt have been battling with mental and emotional illness since years before you were even born, and none of it has anything to do with you (aside from your having great compassion and caring for them, all of which is both beautiful and proper). Their problems and sadness came from their childhoods. And now they are forced—thank God—to have to face what they have avoided all their lives.

By exiling the Guru from their lives (Gu-ru = one who leads others out of darkness), they have pushed away the help which they prayed long and hard for God to send to them, and left themselves with a now-larger version of the problem. This is tantamount to going in for a triple by-pass, open-heart surgery after suffering with a life-threatening condition for years, and then jumping off the table in the middle of the surgery—running down the street, screaming, with tubes, pipes, and human entrails dragging behind.

I was, and still am, in the middle of performing this restorative heart surgery (except without a scalpel, drugs, or scars) on your parents and on all who have called out to Me in pain. Some choose to courageously stay on the operating table, despite their fears; and others choose to play out the cowardly and more painful scenario depicted above. I, however, do not have that option. My surgery continues, regardless of the patients’ choices. Thus, I am working with whatever My beloveds bring to the (operating) table.

Your Mum’s husband has been battling with his fear, and lack of courage and personal conviction all of his life, ever since he was a child and his parents (wittingly and/or unwittingly) saw to removing every shred of it from his being. He now has the perfect recipe—at his request (a very important factor for you to remember!)—for reclaiming that crucial part of himself. Without it, he is relegated to continue living as a shell of a man.

He took his Guru’s picture down (not your mother) because he has placed his wife before God, and this is why he walks in this world with such an all-pervading sadness in his face and aura (recall the First Commandment, delivered by Moses when he came down from Mt. Sinai:  “I am the Lord, your God. Place no false gods before Me.”) Eventually, your Dad will put God first, and neither his wife nor anyone is going to stop him. He has not betrayed Me, only himself.

Your role is to love your parents, not fix them. And you are in the best geographical and spiritual location to learn how to better do that, while protecting yourself from their same fate. Be happy for them, and be happy for yourself. I am taking care of all of you. Trust. Your living and training where you are IS the best help you could ever give them, and it is sourcing them more than you will ever know.

I am also sending (to live with you) one of your dearest angel friends in the Cosmos, to source a kindred soul. You two have much in common, and you will be a great support for one another. This will bring you both great joy.

As you can see, all is in order. All is in perfection. And it just may be that your parents will separate. Your Mum’s husband is too hooked into what I call “God or Bust” consciousness. He has seen too much; he knows too much of what is available and of what is calling him. He has come too far to turn his back and walk away. How fortunate for him. It is now only a matter of time. He is like a spaceship which has entered the gravitational field (and pull) of the Sun.

This same fate will happen to every soul at some point in a given lifetime—your Mum, too. It doesn’t matter when it happens. It happens when it is time. None are “better” or further “ahead” because it has happened to them. It means nothing in and of itself. It is just an “Is-ness.” And right now, your Mum is pretty adamant about not wanting help, as well as about trying to quell her husband’s hunger for God-realization and freedom from the madness and suffering, the latter of which is ultimately fueling his fire and passion for God even more (though neither of them knows that) and will only serve to further accelerate the inevitable—even in My physical absence.

…So, you see, it was never about Me. Blaming others is only another excuse people give themselves to continue avoiding facing themselves and their own pain.

 The Guru is the cure to your problems,
not the cause of them.

What you really need to do is to keep re-reading this letter and all those gushing-from-the-heart letters you have sent Me in the past; the ones devoid of your current lapse into madness and fear. Please… use this letter and those others as your Bible!! Read them over and over and over, and especially when you go into the “crazy” place—especially then! Furthermore, I highly suggest that you immerse yourself in My teachings:  lose yourself in our website—audio discourses, written ones, photos; listen to our various products, discourses, and tapes of retreats… over and over and over. And, very importantly, transcribe some of those same tapes, which are your own training into self-mastery. By doing so, you will be receiving not only My wisdom and love, but My very darshan (vibration) in more ways than you could from any other means, short of being in My physical presence. Transcribing IS the fast track for those who do not live with Me. Finally, stop indulging your mind. Shut it off. It often gets in the way, more than it helps.

Lend credence to the illusion
and you become the illusion.

I can help you; I can source you; I can guide you… but I cannot do it for you. You must discipline yourself to stay focused on the truth, and you must be obedient to Divine guidance in order to uplift and transform your life. How many people do you know who pay a fortune to go see the best doctor in the world to treat their condition, after suffering long and searching everywhere for help, then receive the diagnosis and subsequent prescription, then go home and throw it away and later tell all their friends he was a lousy doctor (just because the condition or ailment still haunts and troubles them)? Answer:  None. By the same token, how many do the very same when it comes to following the advice (i.e. taking the prescription) that their Guru—the Doctor of all doctors—gives them? Answer:  90%.

You, My beloved, have now finally and very masterfully succeeded in surrounding yourself with ones who are strong in their faith, in their devotion, and in their loyalty. Talk to them! During My own training, I had to cut Myself off from My parents and siblings for close to two years. It was far too difficult to do what I had to do while enduring (what I then perceived as) their lack of support. Yes, I felt some guilt, too; but I knew the Truth, and I was not willing to betray that!

Please do not expect Me to keep writing this same letter to you, again and again, every time you choose to pretend you have seen and learned nothing. Discipline yourself. Make a file of all our correspondence, yours and Mine, and read it next time you choose to go “belly up.” Reach out for help from those who are right next to you! You may write to Me anytime you wish. I will read all your letters, and I love them. I simply will not keep writing this same message to you if you are unwilling to help yourself. IF YOU FOLLOW MY GUIDANCE, I WILL LEAD YOU TO THE LAND OF PEACE, FREEDOM, AND FULFILLMENT—like you could never imagine.

My last words are these:  You (like so many others) came to Me so that you would not end up, ten or twenty years from now, in the same predicament and circumstances as your parents. Remember that! That is not your plight or your destiny, and you would be letting them down if you give up on yourself, too. Be strong. You can do this, and you will be victorious.

I believe in you!

 
With My eternal love,

 
Pranananda

Louix Dor Dempriey explains the true nature and function of the ego while debunking the generally-accepted notion that the ego needs to be destroyed. You will receive practical tools to help transform the distorted ego personality into one of unconditional love (otherwise known as “re-parenting” the ego), and learn what it means to be a “warrior” for self-purification as the means to restoring one’s inherent divinity.

•    Humans were created as herbivores (blunt teeth, no claws), not as carnivores.
•    It is a great misconception that “You need animal protein to be lean and strong” (buffalos, horses, cows, elephants, and even brontosauruses are/were all vegans).
•    Spinach, spirulina, broccoli, bee pollen, hemp, brussel sprouts, almonds, and pecans are all very high in protein and will easily satisfy the body’s protein requirements.
•    Spirulina is 60-65% protein, with complete amino acid content—the highest of any protein source.
•    Protein deficiency is extremely rare, except in areas where people are starving.
•    Meat diminishes physical and sexual performance because arteries and blood vessels get clogged.
•    It is important to get protein without fat and cholesterol.
•    Protein requirements are very easy to meet with plant foods.
•    What smoking does to your lungs, meat does to your arteries. The link between an animal-based diet and heart disease is as strong as the link between smoking and cancer.
•    Cancer and heart disease are most frequent where meat eating prevails.

The Truth about Calcium

•    Broccoli provides more calcium than cow’s milk, and in an absorbable form.
•    The dairy industry spends billions per year advertising the calcium in dairy, yet dairy is not high in absorbable calcium.
•    Calcium deficiency of dietary origin is unknown in the U.S. Nonetheless, the dairy industry claims the U.S. has a calcium deficiency and therefore has to consume more dairy products.
•    The dairy industry sets the calcium requirements for the U.S.D.A.
•    The U.S. is the world’s biggest consumer of calcium, yet has the greatest incidence of osteoporosis.
•    The primary cause of osteoporosis is a lack of weight-bearing exercise (due to sedentary lifestyle) and over-consumption of animal protein—both of which are hallmarks of many Americans’ way of life.

The Truth about Fat and Cholesterol

•    You can get all the “good” fats (omega 3, 6, and 9) you need from green, leafy vegetables and raw seeds.
•    Although fish contains “good fat,” it is packaged with PCB’s, cholesterol, and other toxins. In fact, the good fat in fish comes from the plants (plankton) which the fish eats!
•    Our liver makes all the cholesterol we need. Therefore, the amount we need from our diet is zero.
•    High cholesterol contributes to more deaths than all the wars, natural disasters, and disease epidemics combined.
•    There is no difference between white meat and red meat. A 3-ounce steak has 75 mg of cholesterol, and a 3-ounce skinless chicken breast contains 72 mgs of cholesterol.
•    Seafood is not a healthy alternative to red or white meat! Shrimp have 6 times more cholesterol than beef.
•    3 glasses of milk has the same cholesterol as 20 slices of bacon.
•    Plant-based food has zero cholesterol.

The Truth about Dairy Food

•    Humans are the only animals that drink milk after they are weaned.
•    Because humans have no biological need for milk after they are weaned, at some point the pancreas very naturally stops producing the enzyme lactase (which breaks down lactose), which is why 75% of the global population is falsely classified as “lactose intolerant.”
•    Humans are the only animals on the planet which routinely consume another animal’s milk.
•    Cow’s milk carries the genetic blueprint to produce a ten-fold increase from birth weight in the cow’s first year of life, accounting for the extreme obesity in many children who were fed bovine formula.
•    Bovine (and other) formulas deprive children of their primary source of their immune system—which is naturally, freely, and divinely provided by a mother’s breast milk.

Impact on the Environment

•    Raising animals for food accounts for more than half of all the annual water used in the U.S. It takes 2,500 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of meat, but only 25 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of wheat. The average American uses 106 gallons of water per day. If that person also eats 1 hamburger, that figure increases to 3,106 gallons.
•    A vegan lifestyle saves 1 million gallons (3,780,000 liters) of water every year!
•    85% of all U.S. agricultural land is used to grow food to feed the animals we eat.
•    260 million acres of land in the U.S. are destroyed each year raising animals for slaughter.
•    Raising animals for food requires more than 1/3 of all raw materials and fossil fuels used in the U.S. Producing a single hamburger patty uses enough fossil fuel to drive a small car 20 miles and enough water for 17 showers.
•    Rainforests (which provide 90% of all our medicines, 60-80% of the world’s oxygen, and countless species of animals going extinct) are being destroyed at a rate of 125,000 square miles per year to provide grazing for animals raised for consumption. For every quarter-pound, fast-food burger made of rainforest beef, 55 square feet (5.1 square meters) of land are consumed.
•    The fishing industry is taking fish out of the ocean much faster than the ocean can reproduce them.
•    15 out of 17 of the world’s fishing zones are now barren, due to the damaging and wasteful methods of fishing currently used.
•    80% of all fish caught through large-scale commercial fishing methods are dumped—dead—back into the sea (including thousands of whales/dolphin/porpoises trapped in those same nets).
•    Of the 20% of all remaining caught fish, half of those are fed to farm animals. Translated:  Only 10% of all the fish caught by large-scale commercial methods end up being consumed by humans!
•    Animal feces are the cause of E. coli bacterial infections. There are hundreds of cases of food poisoning from meat and meat product recalls every year, mostly due to the unsanitary conditions and operations on factory farms (the true causes of which are almost never released to the public by/through the media).
•    The reason why it is necessary to cook meat (particularly chicken) for so long is to kill the bacteria from fecal matter on the meat.
•    The meat industry causes more water pollution in the U.S. than all other industries combined, because the animals raised for food produce 130 times more excrement than the entire human population—86,600 pounds per second.
•    One typical factory pig farm generates the same amount of raw waste as a city of 12,000 people.
