Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This is Part 8 of your 12 segment weekly email course which you requested on "MIRACLES OF LOVE AND WISDOM based on a Course in Miracles" We are presenting you an number of chapters of this book. If you like the material you are receiving, you will want to get the whole book by Robert Elias Najemy which can be found as a pdf ebook at http://HolisticHarmony.com/ebooks/index.asp May you enjoy and benefit from it. ********************************** CHAPTER XVII EVERYTHING I SEE EXISTS FOR THE LIBERATION OF SPIRIT FROM MATTER Look around you. Whatever you see is there for your use to awaken you to the experience of your real self, and having done that, for your use in expressing in your everyday life the beauty and harmony which are abundant in your inner being. The spirit is immortal and perfect. At some point in the history of the physical world, as we know it, a decision was made by the spirit to express itself, and all its beauty and power, through the dense medium of matter. This lead to the evolutionary process, which we have witnessed over the millions of years of existence of the earth. In the beginning there were no beings whatsoever. Spirit was capable then, in its early stages of this experiment, to express itself only as the basic elements, minerals and gases, which formed the earth environment. Eventually one-celled organisms were formed, then plants, fish, birds, animals and eventually, man. All this took hundreds of millions of years for the spirit to gain enough experience in the material world so as to be able to create a human body and mind, which is capable of so much more than its predecessors. This process of evolution has not come to an end with the type of man that exists today on earth. We have a long way ahead of us, and much inner development to attend to, before we arrive at our goal of being able to express ourselves in this material world without becoming identified with, attached to and limited by it. Many people today do not function very differently from the animals on this earth. Few people have transcended their preoccupation with security, pleasure and power, which are all needs that we have in common with animals. In fact, in many cases, animals have even more dignity than the human beings who are caught up solely in these pursuits. Animals generally do not kill except in order to eat. As a whole they live according to their nature. Man has wandered in some cases far from his real nature. Man has the free will to live according to the laws of the universe or not. When he does not, he pays the consequences in the form of illness, pain and suffering. Man makes these mistakes because he does not realize his real inner strength and beauty. Man is potentially a God-like being. Man is divine but, in his ignorance of this fact, he wastes his life in the vain pursuit of external and superficial sources of happiness and contentment. What a shame. He could be so much happier, so much more alive, so much more creative, so much more beautiful. Man could live in dignity, without fear, without attachment, without pain or suffering. Man could stand straight, not only physically, but also emotionally and mentally. Man could become the Lord of the universe, living in harmony with all, tending with love for all the creatures that inhabit the earth. Yes, you, who are reading this, are a part of the Universal Spirit, God, the power that creates and sustains this whole universe. You could grow every day into a more peaceful and loving being spreading peace and joy wherever you go. This is the truth. REMEMBERING THE TRUTH The key to our blossoming is to realize our true divine nature and to remember at each moment our purpose in incarnating and living on earth. If we can remember at each moment that we are eternal souls in the process of evolution, and that we are here only temporarily, we will not attach ourselves to various objects, persons and situations. We will not create various melodramas, living in fear and anxiety. We will not get confused, hurt or angry. We will realize that everything, which exists around us, is there simply to aid us in our evolutionary process and we will use everything for that purpose. The seed uses the various elements in its environment, such as water, earth, light and air, to develop into a huge tree that gives birth to millions of other seeds. The small child uses all the resources in his environment to grow in his understanding of the world around him. He is curious. He wants to grow into adulthood, and if we do not destroy his desire to learn and evolve, he will continue to use all the resources available in his environment for his development on all levels. Within the seed there is the blueprint of the tree which it is to become. Within the child there is the blueprint of the adult which it is to become. Of course the resources available also played their part in the type of tree or adult which will result. Each of us has the blueprint within us, which is guiding us toward becoming the divine being, which we are already, in truth. That blueprint is waiting to be manifested here in the material world. Our job is to use everything, which exists around us, for the purpose of unfolding and strengthening that spiritual self. We will be able to do this when we continuously remember that everything that happens is another opportunity for growing stronger and more spiritually centered. When we say everything, we mean everything without exception. That means when we gain something, it is to be used for our evolution. When we lose something, that experience has the same purpose. Our relationships with family, co-workers and friends have this and only this purpose - to offer us opportunities to grow more loving and wise. Marriage, children, school, university, illness, success, pain, pleasure, happiness, unhappiness, fear, anger and even death are events and situations which exist only for our liberation from ignorance. They are all temporary situations, which have no meaning or importance in themselves, but for the purpose of awakening the soul to its true nature. This truth also applies to all material objects that surround us, such as buildings, rugs, cars, clothing, money, food, paper, knives, tables, pens, etc. They are here to be used by us with discrimination for our evolution, and eventually for our creative expression of our spirituality through thoughts, words and actions that elevate the quality of life for all beings. When we get attached to these, feeling my car, my house, my money, or my stereo, and using them only for our personal satisfaction and not for general betterment of the quality of life on earth, then we are forgetting their real purpose for existing. We become slaves to them, and, as spirits, we are temporarily dominated by, and imprisoned in, matter. This truth also applies to richness, poverty, sex, movies, TV, court cases, conflicts, divorce, wars, competition, co-operation, masculinity, femininity, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, old age, time, space, memory, and everything else which exists in our lives. They are all experiences for the soul to use in its process of waking itself up to its true identity. When we get caught in any of these situations, and do not recognize it as a temporary experience, through which we can learn more, our growth stops and we stagnate, often causing others to stagnate too. ONE EXPERIENCE: MANY LESSONS There are many different lessons which different souls can learn from the same experience. It is not necessary for all souls to learn the same lesson from the same experience in the same way. Each of us has different lessons that we have come to learn. Let us look at some examples: Many lessons are learned through our contact with money. For one, the lesson may be how to develop our self-confidence and other abilities so as to earn it. Another may have come to learn discrimination concerning how to manage it wisely; still another, to learn how to use his money for the benefit of the whole and not for his personal pleasures. Yet another may have incarnated to feel secure and happy without it. Many lessons are learned through sex. For one, it may be a way to overcome feelings of separateness or loneliness; for another it may be a way to gain self-affirmation of his worthiness or acceptability. A common use of sex is to create children and family. Another may use it for emotional release, whereas another soul may have incarnated in order to learn moderation in sex and to find other forms of self-fulfillment. Another may have to transcend the need for sex by tuning into his inner self, which is neither male nor female, and thus complete, harmonious and without need. Still another may have to come to work with the sexual energy so as to elevate it into his higher energy centers for experiencing higher states of consciousness. The same act, the same experience and yet, for each, it offers a different type of growth. The whole game is not to get attached to it and to let it be what it is - a stepping stone to higher states of consciousness where we get beyond dependency and need. Conflict with others is also an area in which we learn many lessons. We may learn from it to communicate more honestly and more lovingly in future so as to avoid such situations. We may use this stimulus for deeper self-analysis and investigation of our motives, desires, needs and beliefs which have brought us into conflict. We may have come to learn to feel inner peace and self-acceptance in spite of the turbulence. We may need to learn to accept and love the other in spite of his attitude towards us. This conflict may be exactly what we need in order to have the initiative to get free from various ego-attachments. On the other hand, it may be just the opportunity we need to realize that we can live alone and feel secure and fulfilled without the other. Some may need to have conflict in order to learn not to fear conflict, but to use it also as an opportunity for growth and discovery of what is preventing love from reigning. Some day love will win in our lives. We will be able to love without conditions when we realize that there are no conditions on our security or our worthiness. We will realize that we are eternally worthy and eternally secure, we will be able to love all beings at all times, including ourselves. We can accelerate this process of growth by remembering each moment that everything, that we see and experience, exists only for the liberation of spirit from matter, and for the expression of the spirit through the medium of matter. TECHNIQUE Sit and look around you with your eyes open. As your eyes fall on each object, person or being, repeat inwardly the phrase, "THIS ____ EXISTS FOR THE LIBERATION OF SPIRIT FROM MATTER." Do this with each and every object that comes to your attention. Do not avoid any object or being whatsoever, and do not concentrate specifically on anything in particular. Include everything impartially with the same emphasis. Do this for about one minute, then close your eyes and bring to mind various life situations both pleasant and unpleasant, such as relationships, ambitions, efforts, plans, problems, joys, activities etc. After each situation which goes into your mind, repeat the phrase, "THIS ____ EXISTS FOR THE LIBERATION OF SPIRIT FROM MATTER". Do this with everything that comes into your mind for about two minutes. This technique requires a total of three minutes and can be done four or five times a day and more often when you are having problems. Do this about one week before going on to the next chapter. Remember, a problem could also exist for your liberation from matter only as a lesson to let go of it and continue on. Because something exists for our liberation, it does not mean that we must continue to have contact with it. Once we learn a lesson, we do not keep taking the same lesson, we go on to the next ones.
