LAW & GRACE. IV

Our excursion through the terrain of Law and Grace takes a necessary and detailed pit-stop at why each soul needs to strive to establish a rapport with The Father and The Way Christ. 

We had shown in earlier posts why and how souls, created for higher purposes, ended up in materiality flesh. You may wish to go back and refresh your memory or to catch up with the evidence from the Akashic posted in this blog.

The Father wants all souls to return to Him, The Source. The journey entails purification of thoughts, words and deeds. The process is made easy with absolute dependence on God's will. 

The dependence must be unequivocal. The results of ceding to the Divine Will include control of nature and freedom from the laws of mind and body. How is this possible?

No wonder, only one soul has achieved this in materiality, Jesus--The Christ. Hence, He is ever ready and willing to step in for those who obey The Law and follow His footsteps.

So, it is still vital to revisit why we need to seek salvation through obedience. At the end of the day, it is incumbent on each individual to willingly surrender self. Notwithstanding, none is under compulsion to follow the requirements.

We turn over to The Akashic:

It is never by chance that a soul enters any material experience; rather by choice. For, the will is the birthright, the manifested right of every soul. It is the gift of the Creator, yet it is the price one pays for material expression.  2464-2

No one enters any experience by chance, but that all may come to know their relationships to the Creative Force.  2891-1

Each entity enters a material experience for a purpose; not accidentally, not by chance. But life and it's expressions are purposeful.  1792-2

We meet very few people by chance, but all are opportunities in one experience or another. We are due them or they are due us certain considerations.  3246-1

Each individual constantly meets self. There are no coincidences, or accidents, that arise in the meeting of people or individuals.  2074-1

Nothing is by chance, but is...a pattern of...the choices made by the entity in its relationships to things, conditions, and...entities.  1825-1

  
The choice is ours whether to continue along the same trajectories of many lifetimes. They account for all our experiences in this lifetime. Some people may try to, due to egotistic interpretation of the doctrine of exercise free-will, ignorantly present surrender to the Divine Will as an abdication of free-will. How?

Material-minded people use ego-induced logic to frighten the unsure. You lose everything by surrendering to the will of The Father. You are entitled to free-will. 

Such folks fail to realize that in surrendering, each individual makes a choice. Each soul, at some point, will no longer be able to live with the dictates of the conscious mind. 

Then it says you know what, let me try something different. I was led to this path when my soul was exhausted with my ego as a dominant presence. It was ready for a change from the drudgery of dependence on the conscious mind.

Equally, conscious me I was fed up with the conscious part of me. These enabled me to start the process of coming to terms with what God The Creative Forces require of us.  

Ever since, I can attest to remarkable changes--for the better--in my mental attitude towards material experiences. Although, so-called problems have not evaporated, I have an abiding presence of peace. 

The decision to cede control of all issues to The One, through obedience to The Law as taught by The Master, gives me the perspective that the real me is in control! Not the minds of others.

May the light of the love of the Christ be our guide in all activities.

PRINCIPLES OF CHRIST-BASED SPIRITUAL LIVING. I

Today we have to step away from quoting and analyzing information registered on the skein of time The Book of Remembrance that deal with the creation of the universe and souls. We will provide you some guidelines on what Christ-Based spiritual living entails.

In line with our policy, we shall quote from the Akashic Records to support the principles recommended. For the first time visitor, we do not make up stuff or impose any dogmas here. We try as much as possible to avoid the infiltration of human ideas into our discussions. 

Today, we share with you some principles of Christ-Based spiritual life. This is particularly relevant in an era when almost everyone has an expert opinion on any issue, even if it is beyond his experience and knowledge grade!

We start with what The Book of Remembrance says about dealing with others.

Few people allow others to live their own lives. We want to tell them how; we want to force them to live our way and see things as we see them. Most wives want to tell their husbands what to do, and most husbands want to tell their wives what they can and cannot do!

Have you ever stopped to think that no one else answers to God for you? Nor do you answer to God for others.

If a person will seek first to know himself, then the ability to know another's mind will come. Most of those who will practice it for just a while can develop along this line. But be sure you don't attempt to do God's work! Be content to do your own, and you'll have your hands full!

We have a right to tell people our own personal experiences and let them decide for themselves, but not to force them, for God calls upon every man, everywhere, to look, to heed, to understand for himself.

The Only Master, Christ, sums up the long talk in the admonition judge not and condemn not others, do unto others as you would love them to do unto you. 

Can you promise Him to put the above rules into action in all your thoughts, words and deeds starting from now? It is never too late. It may appear not to be much, but it is certain to turn your life around.

Be patient with your self. What has been part of you over many earthly experiences cannot be erased in days or weeks. Take it one day at time and when you catch yourself going against the principles, smile and tell the ego to please cooperate! 

The ego is the conscious mind. It is discarded at death transition to another state of consciousness. The subconscious becomes the conscious mind of each soul at transition. The superconscious mind then becomes the subconscious mind.

What the Akashic states about the almighty ego.

So often it is the ego so enrapt in self, that it constantly fears it will lose its importance, its place, its freedom. Yet to have freedom in self, give it! To have peace in self, make it! These are immutable laws... For in patience possess ye your souls. In patience you become aware that the body is but a temple, an outward edifice. But the mind and soul are the permanent furnishings thereof--the essentials in which you shall constantly abide.

May the Christ Consciousness continue to guide your journey towards the Father.
