Morning Talk

Spiritual Awareness

Good morning and welcome to a new day.

As we begin this beautiful morning I would just like to remind you that we carry two existences: spiritual and physical; the spiritual life in the physical. When I say this to you, it is not as if I am saying something that I have learnt but I am saying how I feel. I give thanks every day for the blessing that I can be aware that I am a spiritual being in a human body and that I live in a human body. That awareness allows me to appreciate this body in such a beautiful way.

I know I live in a marvellous creation that blood can flow into the extremities of my body, nourishing every cell. There are little beings that live inside of my physical body and support the life of this body. This body is so marvellously designed that it can heal itself if something happens. If there is an infection or an invasion of germs into the body, my immune system automatically takes charge. I have a wonderful security system within this body.

I have a little pump inside of me that is a glorious pump; human beings find it difficult to design a pump like that. It is natural creation. It consists of little cells that beat together and every beat is a blessing. I can talk to this organ inside of me and say, ‘I love you my little heart’ and I can rub my hands on my chest and a wonderful energy goes inside of me. I know this little organ is happy because I am giving it attention. I am doing the same for my liver and say, ‘I know you, I am aware of you, I am aware of what you do for me. I am aware of how important you are in my life and I love you.’ I can say the same to my kidneys. I can say it to my eyes, ‘My beautiful eyes how precious you are.’ You only know how precious they are when you begin to have problems with them. And my brain ‘I love you my brain.’ I don’t want to call it a computer because it is so much more powerful, but it allows me to feel every part of my body and how important it is. If these nerve cells do not work, then I cannot feel my body, so my brain is doing such an important job.

My spiritual awareness allows me to appreciate this part of me. I have learnt that I can talk to my cells and when they are not well, I can encourage them and coax them to be well. I can say, ‘You are healed, be strong, don’t give up, be strong, know that you are healed. I know that I am exciting these little cells into healing because they are little creatures. They don’t have an intellect like I have and they cannot say, ‘No, I am not going to listen to you.’ They are always excited when they get attention.  You talk to the body and these little cells get excited. My spiritual awareness allows me to enjoy that experience, and I wish that every human being could feel that for their body. I don’t only feel it for the body but I feel it for all of life, for a plant and for a tree because I know it is an expression of life; they too carry cells.

More importantly, my spiritual being allows me to feel the qualities that are expansive. My spiritual being allows me to love every human being in a very beautiful and powerful way. It allows me to see beyond differences. It allows me not to judge. It allows me to stay in the present moment. It allows me to enjoy this moment fully. It allows me to connect to the heart of life and to feel the whole world is a part of my being. That is what my spiritual consciousness does. It allows me not to fear death or aging. It allows me that awareness that I live eternally. It allows me to understand that this lifetime is not the only one, but that I have lived before and I will continue to live, and that I live in a continuum. That is what my spiritual awareness allows me to understand. To know that the people who have come together with me in this lifetime again, whom I feel an attraction to and a love bond with, that they are travellers with me through lifetimes; that we are together again and that we are connected by Divine plan and purpose. My spiritual awareness allows me to understand that.

It allows me to see life not as a victim that I am fighting to survive but it allows me to see life as a game, a play that I can master if I learn the rules. My spiritual awareness allows me to see that when I love, I am greeted by love; to see when I make a wish, the Universe responds. It allows me to see the meaning of adversity when something challenges me; it allows me to see the meaning and purpose of it and to see the challenge. It allows me to forge my destiny, working in harmony with the forces of life, and it allows me to understand that there is no death, no destruction. So when things fall apart around me, I do not have to fear. There is meaning and purpose in all of life. My spiritual awareness allows me to understand that. It allows me to have absolute faith in the Divine Principle that is in the heart of life.

My spiritual being allows me to see that when human beings are caught in the body awareness they think they will die. They think that they know so little; they think that they age; they think they are a victim; they think that they have disease and they cannot manage. I see that human beings caught in this physical consciousness have lost their true freedom.

I feel so happy that at a very young age I sought this spiritual knowledge and that I live in the fullness of it. I am so happy. It allows me to know that I don’t possess anything in life; I don’t own anything. Everything we meet in this world would stay right here; it belongs to life not to me. I don’t even possess the body. The body has been lent to me; it has to go back. The only think I possess is my soul. That is what my spiritual awareness allows me to know.

In your meditation I have been trying to get you to become more spiritually aware. Even if you don’t know fully of your spiritual existence, strive to know. The saying is that if you seek the wisdom, it will come to you. You only need to seek. ‘Knock and it shall be opened; seek and you shall find.’

I wish you will seek in a genuine way that knowledge experience and understanding will come to you.

I hope this day will be a very special day for you, having started in the way it did. I hope the inspiration of this day will continue to be with you. May it be a cherished moment in time that will stay with you.

It has been a tremendous joy being with you. I find no greater joy than being in the company of people who love truth and open themselves up fully to the light; I find no greater joy.

Morning Meditation

Sit with your back as straight as possible and let your posture be comfortable.

We begin a new day, another day in the journey of life, another day to go deep within our being and to understand our relationship with the Supreme Consciousness of Life.

We exist in God as a drop of water in the ocean, as a spark in the fire. We exist in God with the qualities of divinity. As we begin this new day, let us become more aware of our divine existence in the Supreme Consciousness of Life. Even though we live in a human form, our spiritual nature is divine. Let us take a moment to centre ourselves in our spiritual being. Your spiritual being is that pure consciousness within you, the one who observes without judgement.  Peacefully and lovingly observe.

Centre yourself in that space where you can observe everything that is happening within you. When you are centred in your spiritual being, you see every thought arising and you feel the power of choice to embrace a thought or to leave it. When you are centred in your spiritual being, you are aware of every emotion within you and you feel the power to embrace the one you want to. In your spiritual being, you feel connected to a source of all wisdom within you, knowing the guidance is right inside, that it will come if you request it. In your spiritual being, peace flows like a river, love is vast as an ocean and joy arises within you like an eternal fountain. Remember who you are. Remember your true existence and feel the power it brings in you.

‘I exist in God. I am of God. I was never born nor will I die. I live in this body; this body is only a dwelling place of my pure spirit. Today I seek to stay in this awareness of my divine nature; to stay in that place of peace and love, that place of God within me.’

As you centre yourself there, take a moment to truly appreciate the gift of human life. You are in a body that is marvellously designed just for you. You have the appropriate body for this journey of life and for the lessons to be learnt. Take a moment to acknowledge the life principle in every cell and in every organ within this body.

Each cell within the body has an identity of its own and you can relate to it; you can send it your love; you can embrace it in your mental field and in your emotional being. Each organ within you has its own identity as well, and your entire body has its own identity. Embrace this wondrous intelligence that is your body. In your soul consciously affirm: ‘I love you my body, you are God’s gift to me. I love you my every cell, you are so precious to me.’ From deep within you extend the purest of love to your physical body, knowing that you bring healing energy to every cell as you do this and truly appreciate the gift of the body. ‘I love you my body, you are God’s gift to me. I love you my every cell, you are so precious to me.’

Take a moment to identify your heart and to hold your heart in a loving space, your stomach, your lungs, your liver, your kidneys, your brain, your eyes, your bones, your skin. Envelop your entire body in your love, ‘I love you my body, may you always be healthy.’

Give attention to the breathing. Each time you breathe, you bring vital energy to your body; you nourish and cleanse your body. Breathe out slowly and completely and breathe in slowly and deeply. Focus on the point between the eyebrows and feel the vital energy of the breath filling the head area with the sweet feeling of peace. Each time you breathe out feel you are cleansed and let the breath flow in a natural and comfortable rhythm. Where there is rhythm, there is harmony, there is peace.

Remember you are the observer. Your soul consciousness is the observer. You are living in this body and you are loving your body. Feel a deep sense of gratitude each time you breathe because each breath allows the body to live, allows you to inhabit the body and allows you the experience of this world.

In this peacefulness repeat your sacred words, your mantra, your affirmation, your prayer and feel the power they have in this peacefulness and in the divine awareness. Repeat your words and be aware of every word you say and what it means, and feel the power. Feel how your mind becomes stronger, feel how centred you become in your soul, feel how words become alive with power.

Expand your awareness. Become more aware of the world around you. You exist in a vast creation and the power within you is the same power in all of creation. Extend your love and your good wishes to your world, understanding the power of intention, the power of will, the power of thought. Think of those who are near and dear to you and extend your love and good wishes to them. ‘May you be well. May you be happy. May you be protected. May you be guided.’ That intention reaches them and lifts them beyond space and time. Think of our earth, think of all living creatures that support life, think of the creatures on the ground, on the air, on the sea. Extend your love, ‘May our earth be blessed, may all life forms be protected, may we live in harmony with nature.’

May all be happy.
May all be healthy.
May all see only auspicious sights.
May no one have a share in sorrow.

Beloved God we thank You for the blessings of this day. We ask You to guide us through this day. Lead us from darkness into light. Guide our every thought, word and action that our lives will be a blessing to Your world today. We thank You for all the blessings You bestow upon us. We pray that we will continue to be worthy. We thank You Beloved Creator of Life. Peace, peace, peace.
