Center For Awakening

Death and Eternal Life

Life is eternal, our consciousness will always eternally be. Our soul power, our true essence exists eternally with many options and opportunities how we choose to exist. We can choose to come to the physical dimension to experience physical life and all the blessings and challenges our life presents us with. We can also choose to stay in the higher realms of spirit, or we can choose to have some of the energy of our infinite soul power residing in both places. We can return to physical life as many times as we choose, or remain in other realms, planets, dimensions as often as we choose. Our soul can enter the physical dimension by walking into a newborn babies body or, with a pre existing agreement, into an adult body. They both happen all the time on this planet. Souls enter and leave the physical dimension in many different ways and at all ages and stages of a human beings life.

We return to experience physical life for countless reasons, however always to evolve our level of consciousness with the ultimate goal of awakening to who we truly are; remembering the Master Self, Divine Presence within. When we die a physical death we are still us, we don’t die, we are still alive, our soul is simply no longer attached or associated with the physical body, or shell we incarnated into. We still remain at the same level of consciousness we existed in at the moment of our death. This is why suicide is such a tragedy, it is not an out, it is not an escape from our problems, we take ourselves with us, all of our awareness, consciousness, pain, thoughts, feelings and core beliefs. Yes we will be rid of any physical pain we had in our body, but even that was a manifestation of our inner consciousness out pictured in our body over time. We cannot run from our own consciousness, who we are, it goes with us even in death. The problem with suicide is that your soul will most likely choose to return to another physical body and face very similar if not worse circumstances and struggles that triggered the suicide and you will also have more karma to deal with due to the karma you created from your suicide. There will be an even bigger mess to clean up.

Life is an eternal ongoing flow of life force energy, vitality and soul consciousness. Everything we choose in our lives is to bring us to higher states of being, to the enlightened Self that is already within us. Dont’ put soul power in a box, it is not as rigid as mass conscious mind creates through its rigid beliefs. Soul power is infinite, we live and love and create in infinite ways, shapes and forms eternally. We may live concurrent lives on this planet or on this planet and another planet, also while guiding some of our loved ones, and at the same now moment we may be doing many services galactically, spiritually, universally on other realms and dimensions. Just as in this life you are involved in groups, clubs, organizations, families, friends concurrently, your soul power is very busy universally. In this physical life you may have a partner, be getting an education, be a member of a church, a family, a soccer team, a charitable organization and a hiking group all at this moment in your life. The infinite spiritual aspect of your soul power is similarly busy on the infinite other realms and dimensions that exist universally.

Physical life is a magnificent gift that needs to be cherished and appreciated and enjoyed. Do not waste the opportunity of life, the opportunity to love, experience and give. You don’t need to look for how to love and give, opportunities will present themselves moment to moment as your day unfolds. When you are simply open and you get your judgmental mind out of the way the person in front of you now is the person you are meant to be with now, the perfect circumstances will unfold and opportunities will present themselves miraculously now. However, if you want to create constant miracles you need to take action and accept the opportunities, embrace the loved ones, follow the intuitive prompts that guide you constantly moment to moment in your life. Your life is a miracle, you are a miracle, and everything happening around you regardless of appearances is a miracle. Embrace your eternal life and this eternal now moment with joyful gratitude. It is a blessing and a holy privilage to be alive, living a physical life at this time on this planet, recognize this gift and make the highest most loving use of your sacred lifetime.

Listening to Your Heart

centerforawakening — Sun, 06 Sep 2009 03:30:08 +0000

As we travel through life we have many decisions to make and choices to choose from. Some are simple and easy and once in a while we have a difficult choice, it may seem difficult to know what to do or what our choices are. Those times are the times we want to take more quite time for ourselves so we can begin to get in touch with our inner answers. The answers that come from our heart not neccessarily our rational mind and reasoning. When we follow our hearts we are following our highest path. When man made rules such as dogmatic rules contradict our heart it makes it harder to follow, but the heart is much wiser than any rule of dogma. Always know that what your heart is guiding you to do is what God is guiding you to do, regardless of dogma. Only you can know what is best for you because you have the connection to your heart guidance. It is fine to get others advice and even acknowledge dogmatic man made rules but always follow your heart above all else, no one else knows better for you than yourself. I don’t mean to break the law, that is not dogma, dogma is church or societal law that is man made and not the truth. Jesus Christ broke free from the rules and dogma of the religion of his time to teach spiritual freedom, to teach people to love and follow their hearts. He taught people to choose from a space of freedom from dogma and to love your neighbor as yourself. This is why I love the storyof the Good Samaritan which I will talk more about next time.

Resisting mistakes

centerforawakening — Sat, 29 Aug 2009 19:36:12 +0000

I was at my son’s football game last night and the drill team came on during half time. It was a fabulous performance, however one girl made several mistakes. I thought about how she must feel and how big her mistakes may feel to her. From my removed point of view I could see how small her little mistakes were in the sceme of her life, and I hoped she would not be too upset. Sometimes life seems so important and so serious that we walk our path with an agenda to avoid mistakes. Then when we do make a mistake we make it bigger and more serious than it is. We are all in school, the education of a spiritual being having a physical experience. They say don’t swet the small stuff, and it is all small stuff.

If we forget this is just a playground, a school house and take life too seriously we don’t enjoy or learn as much as we could. When we are afraid of making mistakes we become too cautious, to repressed and cannot live life fully. We hesitate and don’t act when we could have had a great experience or learning opportunity. We hide and stay safe, but we don’t grow, expand and express.

So go for it today and everyday, use your discretion and choose with your intuition and then act, be unstoppable, outragiously happy, fully self expressed and live life to the fullest. Do it even if you don’t have it all figured out ahead of time, be spontanious and improvise. Live, laugh and love. There really are no such things as mistakes, only learning opportunities. Learn, love and grow as much as you possibly can.

Following the End of the Rainbow

centerforawakening — Thu, 27 Aug 2009 15:52:33 +0000

In separation mind contentment is always tomorrow. I will be truly happy when…….I find the perfect partner, get that job promotion, buy the big house, graduate from college, lose ten pounds etc. etc. etc. Then of course when the separate mind attains these goals, the end of the rainbow of contentment is far off in another goal. It is the insanity of separation ego mind. There is rarely absolute fulfillment and contentment in this moment exactly as we are and as our life is.

When we project our energy away from the happiness of now and into some illusionary future where we will be happy, we lose ourselves and the moment, we just are not present in that moment and it is lost.

Deep fulfilment, true inner peace, contentment and happiness is always found within you, right here, right now. It is an illusion to believe that happiness is found “out there” or in the future, it is a futile search as elusive as finding the end of the rainbow. Be here now, be at peace and deeply content with yourself and your life exactly as it is NOW. If you can’t be happy now, you will never be happy, there is and always will be only NOW.

At Peace and in Acceptance of the Unknown

centerforawakening — Tue, 25 Aug 2009 16:06:56 +0000

Living a human life is not always easy. A challenge all humans share is wanting to know the unknown future. As much as we can plan and know about tomorrow there will always be uncertainty. We can either live resisting the fact that we don’t know or we can be present now to not knowing. Wanting to know the future takes us out of the present and puts us in a state of resistance to what is so right now. Lean into the unknown and be fully present and in full acceptance of this sacred moment of your life exactly as it is, don’t lose this moment by worrying about the future. Be here now. Love and accept yourself and your life exactly as it is right now. Trust life that the future will unfold for you perfectly and in synchronicity and whomever and whatever you need will be there for you when you need it. From that space of presence, acceptance, trust and peace you can be divinely guided to make a difference in this now moment. Living life will be a joy and you will transform your life and the world consciously with love.

Remembering Who YOU Are.

centerforawakening — Mon, 24 Aug 2009 17:14:07 +0000

Dear Holy One,

Yes you are a holy one, you are divine God manifest, you are one with all life, all that is and all that isn’t. Your very essence is made of the fabric of God energy. That is who you are, we often have just forgotten that we are Divine Presence radiating infinite Divine power out into the world and all we meet. This life, this moment is a sacred moment a holy instant because of who you are and who all beings are.

Center for Awakening was created to help all beings remember who they are, the pure boundless eternal Divine love that is their true nature. We offer monthly meditations, Reiki courses, weekly yoga and yoga nidra classes, and occasional spiritual retreats in wonderful places like Costa Rica. We also create ongoing charitable projects in the community. All our events are offered by love offering and all the proceeds go towards these charitable projects. There are no salaries within our organization so 100% of all donations and love offerings go directly towards the people in need.

Center for Awakening welcomes all beings regardless of religious or political affiliation, sex, age, sexual preference; simply all beings are welcome. Our intention is to create spiritual freedom and oneness awakening for all beings. Love to you today and always.
