Recollecting Realizations of the Reality of Repersonalization and Higher Destiny

by Niánn Emerson Chase

Yearning for More and Awakening

I grew up on Native American reservations, so as a child I experienced wild open spaces of land and black evening skies unhindered by the lights of human civilization. I recall many nights looking up at the vastness of the star-studded heavens and experiencing fear and awe at the bigness and deepness of space. I felt very small and insignificant in the hugeness of what I sensed the heavens were and, at the same time, I felt lovingly enveloped by that same space.

Most of my family and friends could not quite understand what I was feeling and thinking when I tried to express the depth of my emotions and thoughts when I looked into the night sky. It was as if they did not sense the immensity of space to the extent that I did, nor did they understand the paradox of my feelings about space—fear, awe, and being loved. By the time I was ten or eleven, I was more at ease with my mixed emotions about space. Thus I relaxed and basked in the beauty and wonder of the night skies, and did so without needing to share my thoughts and feelings with other humans, for I sensed the presence of unseen family and friends and was “at home” with seeming solitude.

Channeling

By Sheila Applegate

As we learn to love one another, we come to realize that, in their purest forms, all religions teach the same basic spiritual truths:  It is only the different ways we express them that divides us.  Each system of belief has a different piece of the puzzle, and ultimately, to heal our communities and our world, we will have to fit these different pieces together and realize the essential truths that connect us all as one.  In order to allow this to occur, we must open our hearts to hear beyond language and to expand in our understanding.

Prayer for the New Age

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Each is an eternal child of the universe;
A ray of Light from a larger, more glorious sun,
Traveling from world to world,
Creating their individual Reality.

O Radiances of Truth,
As this New Age Dawns
Fill us with joy and wonder.
Let your life giving energy
Rain down upon us;
Stilling all fear and worry,
Helping us to rise higher
Creating aNew World
Of Light, health and beauty.

O Radiances of Truth,
May each heart embrace
Its own higher purpose.
Lifting their fellows;
Smiling, celebrating together
In the morning sun of Universal Love.

O Radiances of Truth,
May thisNew Worldstart with me;
Bless my efforts to rise higher,
Every moment of every day,
And live according to my Higher Self
And the Higher Destiny of the Universe.

Genie of the Lamp

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff 

Once there was a mighty King who, in a field, buried a miraculous lamp. This lamp and its guardian Genie had wondrous powers. It was said, who ever possessed and used the wishes correctly, had the knowledge and power of the King them self.

O heedless one, awaken to the potential of who you are.  You are the field and the lamp, with its Genie and wishes, lies, unclaimed, within.

Introduction

Thoughts are energy and man/woman is fundamentally a being of conscious energy; creating his/her own body, events and thought forms, moment to moment.

For most spiritual travelers, this essential aspect of who they are is left out of their early education; rarely are youngsters directly told that their ability to master thoughts operates like a magic lamp. From a mystical view, he/she who controls his own thoughts is Master of both the upper and lower kingdom; this being the dual aspects of our soul- where both baseness and sublimity exist. (more…)

Stages Along the Way

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Q: Along the Path, there are various stages.  What is the significance of this?

The worlds keep spinning
Evolving upward;
Toward their higher destiny.
Yet travelers stay fixed in their worlds,
Not moving an inch forward;
Struggling to hold onto what they have.
No matter how painful or inefficient.

In time, these travelers too
must join the upward motion
and reach higher.

Is There Such A Thing As Safe Areas And Protected Areas? Are They The Same?

by Gabriel of Urantia

To answer the questions posed in the title of this article, you have to ask what are you trying to be safe from—weather catastrophes or invading armies or starvation or wild animals or poisonous insects and other creatures?

Often just using good common sense keeps us safe when making decisions concerning certain geographic areas. For instance, if you wanted to be 100% safe from earthquakes, you do not want to live in California. If you want to be 100% safe from tidal waves and tsunamis, you do not want to live close to the oceans. If you want to be safe from tornados, you do not want to live in Kansas. I think you get the picture here. (more…)

Teaching Encounter: Whose Money is it Really?

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

Many experiences with our teacher- Sam (pseudonym) took place in the mid- 1970’s; when many of us started out in our careers, marriages, just become parents or were attending graduate school.

For most of us money was tight and I remember one day that I was complaining about having to pay an unexpected repair bill; I felt that there were so many others uses for my money.

That day the lesson didn’t come easy and often serves as a reminder that our desires and needs as a spiritual traveler are usually secondary. The following encounter was my lesson about money and focus. (more…)

Talking to God/Light

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

When traveling the mystical path, travelers often want prayers, exercises and techniques that will work for them.  Requesting guidance from one who has traveled a little further or even reached their goal, hoping that with practice, these techniques and exercises will increase their understanding and proximity.

Often what is missing from this selective use of other traveler’s practice is that each traveler’s position along the path is different; and what worked for one will not automatically work for another. Not factored into the learning structure are determinants such as readiness and Grace. (more…)

The Sunday Service

The people of the little village of Carra pride themselves on their religion. Every Sunday morning they make their way to the delightful old village church to hear their pastor, Father Shine, deliver his words of wisdom. And thanks to their freely given efforts Carra had won first prize for churchyard of the year for the past 99 years. (more…)

Spiritual Traveler: Form to Essence

By Dr. Stewart Bitkoff

At the beginning I was mistaken in four ways. I sought to remember God, to know Him, and to seek Him. When I had come to the end, I saw that He had remembered me before I remembered Him, that His knowledge of me had preceded my knowledge of Him, His love toward me had existed before my love to Him, and He had sought me before I sought Him.*

Bayazid Bistami

Introduction

This striking quote by the Sufi Bayazid indicates that the spiritual search is comprised of 2 actions or journeys; the first journey being the traveler’s action toward the goal and the second that action of the goal or teaching upon the traveler: this second action being the saving Grace. (more…)
