' These Thorns '...
We should be careful to take away from ourselves any thorns that prick us in the personality of others.
Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
We frequently say, 'I dislike him,' 'I wish to avoid her,' but if we examine this carefully, we find it is the same element in all that we dislike, the ego. And when we turn to ourselves to see if we have it in us, we find it is there too. We should forget it, therefore, in other people, and first turn our attention to crushing it within ourselves. We should determine to have our house clean even if other people neglect theirs. We should be careful to take away from ourselves any thorns that prick us in the personality of others. There is a verse in the Quran, which says, 'Arise in the midst of the night, and commune with thy Lord... Bear patiently what others say.' This is not only a command to rise in the night and pray, but it also means that by rising in the night we crush the ego, for the ego demands its rest and comfort, and when denied, is crushed. The mystics fast for the same reason. The Sufi's base the whole of their teaching on the crushing of the ego which they term Nafs-kushi, for therein lies all magnetism and power.'''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
For every soul there are four stages to pass through in order to come to the culmination of the ego, which means to reach the stage of the rose. The first stage is that a person is rough, thoughtless and inconsiderate. He is interested in what he wants and in what he likes; as such he is naturally blind to the needs and wants of others. In the second stage a man is decent and good as long as his interests are concerned. As long as he can get his wish fulfilled he is pleasant and kind and good and harmonious; but if he cannot get his wish and cannot have his way, then he becomes rough and crude and changes completely. And there is a third stage, when someone is more concerned with another person's wish and desire, and less with himself; when his whole heart is seeking for what he can do for another. In his thought the other person comes first and he comes afterwards. That is the beginning of turning into the rose. It is only a rosebud, but then in the fourth stage this rosebud blooms in the person who entirely forgets himself in doing kind deeds for others. In Sufi terms the crushing of the ego is called Nafs Kushi.
' The Avatara '...
50. On the tree of Sat-Chit-Ananda there are innumerable Ramas, Krishnas, Christs, etc.; one or two of them come down into this world now and then, and produce mighty changes and revolutions.
51. The Avatara or Saviour is the messenger of God. He is like the Viceroy of a mighty monarch. As when there is some disturbance in a far-off province the king sends his viceroy to quell it; so whenever there is any waning of religion in any part of the world, God sends His Avatara there
52. It is one and the same Avatara that, having plunged into the ocean of life, rises up in one place and is known as Krishna, and diving again rises in another place and is known as Christ.

' Pure Intelligence and Nothingness '...
I have found through personal experience that Nothingness is experienced in
several levels..
The first level of Nothingness is the surrender of the false ego during
meditation.
you, as ego surrender this ego into the Universe and gladly accept the
Nothingness of non-existence..
As soon as this happens, You find your Real Self as Divine Consciousness without
ego but with a Personality of Light, Love, and Consciousness..
But, there is a Higher Power within this Divine Consciousness that will answer
all questions..
Jesus called this Higher Power, His Father..
But, this Father also has a Father..
The Highest Power is that which has no ego or Personality, as Complete Love
cannot contain any Desires ..
Personality, even if It is called God is not Perfect Love..
It is a Reflection of selflessness..
Therefore, the Source of Father and Son is Complete Love and is known as Pure
Intelligence..
This Pure Intelligence is the center of 'Nothingness', as there is nothing but
Pure Thought without any claimer of ownership..

Your natural state is Being, Being at One with Source.
by John Smallman Translated from the Light called Jesus........
.....................................................
Humanity is awakening, Now! It is the divine Will that you do so when you decide that you no longer wish to engage in the ego’s game of separation, and the collective has made that decision and, therefore, your awakening is already happening; signs of this momentous event are appearing worldwide. Enormous numbers of people have come to understand that life as a human is a marvelous opportunity to evolve spiritually, and to release themselves from reacting unthinkingly to the issues with which life presents them in every moment due to the fear-driven guidance or directives of their egos. More and more people are becoming aware that their egos always encourage fear-driven reactions that do not serve their soul’s bests interests. As you cease allowing fear (ego) to be the leading rationale or motivating factor directing your thoughts, words, and actions, you will find your lives flowing more smoothly and lovingly, and, with increasing frequency, peace and acceptance will replace, or at least reduce, your worries and anxieties.
You are all the dearly beloved children of God, and your natural state is to be living at one with each other in harmonious relationships and in lovingly cooperative communities, enjoying engagement with each other in exciting and most stimulating creative ventures, because you are eternal divine creative beings, and doing so is most gratifying and delightful for you all, and also, of course, for your ever loving Father.Life is Love in action when you choose to release your attachments to fear!
Fear does not serve you, it is extremely divisive, leading you to see yourselves as separate beings, fighting and competing with one another for limited resources you believe that you must have in order to endure in the unsafe worldly environment in which you are living; an environment from which the vast majority of you see yourselves as disconnected needy beings struggling to survive. Of course your egos try to hide that fearful belief from you, and attempt to persuade you that with their help you can conquer and dominate the worldly environment in which you find yourselves, or at least remain safe – until the inevitable next fearful issue arises to confront you.
Survival is NOT an issue! You are all eternal divine beings having a very temporary and utterly unreal experience of separation from Source, Mother/Father/God, Love, or whatever label you choose to use when using human language to name the ALL. As you have been told time and time again by so many in the spiritual realms: “There is only ONE!” Therefore you are all, every sentient life form, One with the One. There is NO such state as separation, and there is, therefore, NO possibility that even one individual in form could ever be separated from the ALL.
Needless to say, when you are experiencing life in form, as physical beings, even though that apparent state is illusory, unreal, impossible, it does seem very real indeed to the individual experiencing it. The best way to massively reduce that sensation of separation or abandonment is to go within. When you go within, to your holy inner sanctuaries, and firmly set the intention to know yourselves as you truly are – ONE – and then allow and invite Love into your hearts, you will feel that Love, and experience the peace and comfort that Love is. It will not have Love’s full intensity because your physical forms could not withstand the fullness of that energy, but you will know that Love is embracing you. You will feel Its Presence, if you will allow It to embrace you, while releasing any expectations as to what It will or should feel like. Any expectation of that nature is an ego-driven need that can never be satisfied or experienced because your egos fear Love, fear Reality, and block Them out.
Your egos have an intense need to be right, an intense need to prove that you are unworthy of God’s Love, so that they can continue to keep you in a state of fear, thus allowing them to guide and direct your thoughts, words, and actions. As you all know, from bitter experience, your egos constantly lead you to say and do things that you later very much regret, thus leading to an intensification of your feelings of unworthiness.
Therefore, when you go within, RELAX! Yes, it is easier said than done, because your egos always want you to be thinking – thoughts of complaint and dissatisfaction – talking and doing. To relax into a deeply meditative state terrifies them, because they desperately need the NOISE of distraction, any kind of distraction that excludes peace and quiet. Doing – thinking, talking, or acting – is the ego’s natural state.
Your natural state is Being, Being at One with Source.
Therefore, when you choose to enter your holy inner sanctuaries and feel the Love waiting there to embrace you, just relax into quietness of mind. Yes, thoughts and needs will flow through your brains, but just let them flow . . . and pay them no attention, because truly you have No Needs! Doing that is the invitation that Love is waiting for, and It will embrace you, and you will feel It!

No matter how much we may study, it is not possible to come to know God unless we live according to His commandments, for God is not know by science, but by the Holy Spirit.

If someone has come to know God by the Holy Spirit, his soul will burn with love for God day and night, and his soul cannot be bound to any earthly thing.

' Happiness '...
Happiness lies in thinking or doing that which one considers beautiful.
Bowl of Saki, by Hazrat Inayat Khan
Commentary by Pir-o-Murshid Inayat Khan:
What is really good? The answer is, there is no such thing as good or evil.
There is beauty. That which is beautiful, we call good. That which is ugly
compared with the beautiful, we call evil: whether it is custom, idea, thought
or action. This shows that this whole phenomenon of the universe is the
phenomenon of beauty. Every soul has an inclination to admire beauty, to seek
for beauty, to love beauty, and to develop beauty. Even God loves beauty.
In all ages the various religions have given different standards of good and
evil, calling them virtue and sin. The virtue of one nation has been the sin of
another. The virtue of the latter is the sin of the former. Travel as we may
through the world, or read the histories and traditions of nations as we may, we
shall still find that what one calls evil, another calls good. That is why no
one can succeed in making a universal standard for good and evil. The
discrimination between good and evil is in man's soul. Every man can judge that
for himself, because in every man is the sense of admiration of beauty. But he
is not satisfied with what he does himself, he feels a discomfort, a disgust
with his own efforts. There are many people who continue some weakness or some
mistake, or who are intoxicated by some action which the world calls evil or
which they themselves call evil, yet go on doing it. But a day comes when they
also are disgusted. Then they wish for suicide. There is no more happiness for
them. Happiness only lies in thinking or doing that which one considers
beautiful. Such an act becomes a virtue or goodness. That goodness is beauty.
Man is always seeking for beauty, and yet he is unaware of the treasure of
beauty that is hidden in his own heart. He strives after it throughout his whole
life. It is as if he was in pursuit of the horizon: the further he proceeds, the
further the horizon seems to have moved away. For there are two aims: the one is
real, and the other false. That which is false is momentary, transitory, and
unreliable - wealth, power, fame, and position are all snatched from one hand by
the other. ... Man wants something in life upon which he can rely; and this
shows, whether he believes in a deity or not, that he is constantly seeking for
God. He seeks for Him not knowing that he is seeking for God. Nevertheless,
every soul is pursuing some reality, something to hold on to; trying to grasp
something which will prove dependable, a beauty that cannot change and that one
can always look upon as one's own, a beauty that one feels will last forever.
And where can one find it? Within one's own heart. And it is the art of finding
that beauty, of developing, improving, and spreading that beauty through life,
allowing it to manifest before the inner and outer view, which one calls the art
of the mystic.

' You Are Alive '...
You are alive and conscious of being alive, and that is indeed Miraculous.
by John Smallman
.................................................................
As you wait impatiently for humanity’s awakening to come to fruition, make a point of reminding yourselves regularly throughout the day that the divine Will is always achieved, absolutely perfectly – the only perfection there is – just as divinely intended, and that there is only the divine Will, anything else is unreal, illusory. Your awakening is divinely assured, and is, therefore, absolutely inevitable – just as day follows night! If you will look you will see encouraging signs in many places as the moment for this most magnificent event draws ever closer.
Yes, I know that you have all heard this before, and that living in unreality as you do, impatience is therefore an unavoidable state or sensation that you all experience quite regularly for numerous reasons, not least as you await your long promised awakening. Just remind yourselves that all is divinely taken care of, and that whatever Mother/Father/God promises is always delivered. The fact that you are alive and conscious of being alive is permanent proof of this, and it is indeed Miraculous.
God’s Love for Her children is infinite and unchanging, It is forever, It is eternal, It is NOW! You, all sentient life, live in the infinite energy field of Love, always. You cannot leave It or separate from It because It is ALL! What you experience as beings in form is a state of unreality because form itself is unreal! Yes, it does seem very real as you are experiencing it, and that is because you chose to take form for this very purpose. However, as you do know deep within yourselves, You are utterly free – Love is Free – so any choice you make is always completely honored because it is sacrosanct. It is a little bit like families that allow maturing children to exercise more and more freedom to prepare them for independence so that they can operate in and engage with the world and with other people.
The physical environment that you are experiencing – in all its myriad forms – was invented (imagined) and constructed by the collective for this precise reason, and when the collective chooses to terminate the need for physical experiences it will dissolve. In the meantime you are in the process of awakening from it, and preparing to allow it to dissolve as it dematerializes back into the pure field of energy that is ALL, that is Love.
As humans in form you have all had thoughts or dreams – the American dream! – some come to fruition, and others do not. Living life as a human in form many of you do that – some of you infrequently, some frequently, some incessantly depending on your personal sense of satisfaction or dissatisfaction with your lives – you think about it and dream about it, as you wonder where it will take you, but in the end you let go of those thoughts and dreams as you come to realize that Life is much, much more than an imaginary state that changes its appearance from moment to moment.You then seek a deeper meaning to your lives, a spiritual meaning, because deep within yourselves you know that a deeper meaning is your reason for being in form at this moment. “Seek and you shall find!”
The collective awakening process is the seeking for and finding that deeper meaning – an infinitely deep meaning – that you had concealed from yourselves in order to fully experience the unreal state of separation from Source, from Love. You have had enough of those kinds of experience which is why the collective has finally chosen to awaken. That choice has absolutely delighted God. God wants you to return to full awareness of your true nature so that you may enjoy Yourself to the full in every moment – right NOW!
You do experience love in your lives as humans, but it is as nothing to the Reality that is Love. People who have near death experiences (NDEs) get brief glimpses of Love, encounter It and are overwhelmed with delight by the peace and joy with which It envelops them, and they never forget the wonder of It. You can all have access to the Love that You are when you go within to your holy inner sanctuaries of harmonious serenity and allow and invite Love to fill your hearts. However, because of that choice to experience form – which is but a temporary and extremely limited and restricted way in which to participate in life – you are constantly being distracted by the needs of your human lives, and have great difficulty in actually and positively relaxing into those inner sanctuaries.
Many books have been written about it over the eons by those who have managed to enter that deep peaceful state, explaining how simple it is when you just surrender to what is.And yet it appears to remain extremely difficult for the majority to actually relax into that space that is forever inviting each of you inwards.
Let go of the flow of thoughts, of your impatience for the next bodily distraction – I need to go to the store, to visit my friend, to check the fridge, to have a drink, to have a smoke, to register a complaint – and allow yourselves to just be, and watch time flow by freely, instead of allowing it to drag you endlessly onwards to further meaningless distractions. It really is very much worth your while to stop – mind and body – and just BE!
Many of you have tried and been distracted, or fallen asleep. Well, don’t give up! If you are courting a new partner, choosing a new – car, house, bicycle, boat, computer, dress, suit, restaurant – you don’t give up! And those are distractions from life! If you gave as much time – not forced focused intent – to your spiritual life, to your intent to find yourselves within yourselves you could not not succeed.
Your inner sanctuaries of peace and harmony await you in every moment. Stop focusing on what is wrong with your lives. Instead give thanks for life itself, that miraculous gift from Source, and find and experience the peace and contentment that is your divine right.
Your loving brother, Jesus.

' Fear of the Unknown '...
By replacing fear of the unknown with curiosity we open ourselves up to an infinite stream of possibility. We can let fear rule our lives or we can become childlike with curiosity, pushing our boundaries, leaping out of our comfort zones, and accepting what life puts before us.
