Dear Friend,
May this find you well and happy. ********************************* This is Part 9 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 XVIII I AM DETERMINED TO SEE We are told by the various mystics and saints, of a heavenly reality, and yet we see only limitation, injustice and suffering. When will we see, with our own eyes, the spiritual truths that we have been hearing about for thousands of years? We are told that there is One Universal Spirit, which is the basis of every reality, and yet we see only a wide variety of separate and different creatures, many of which seem to have no relationship with each other. We are told that we have many subtle bodies beyond these physical ones, yet few of us see them, even if we can sense their presence. We are told that there is an omnipresent God, angels and spirits, and yet we see only matter. We are told that there is a divine plan and purpose for everything, and yet we see only injustice and chaos. We are told that we are immortal, invulnerable spirits, and yet we see only bodies that age, suffer and die. When will we see these truths with our own eyes? Perhaps when we die and leave these physical bodies. We have heard that those who have died, and come back to life, did see things differently during that out-of-the-body experience. But there are mystics, saints and yogis who have seen these realities while living, and have first-hand experience that they are true. Can we too have this experience? Their answer is yes, we can, if we want to badly enough and if we are willing to make the effort which is required. We will have to stop looking outwards at the temporary world of appearances and forms so much. We will have to work on getting free from our conditioned way of looking at things. We will have to break through our programming, preconceptions, and beliefs that distort our present vision. We do not, at this moment, see what we are looking at, but rather we see our preconceptions and beliefs about what we are looking at. We have been hypnotized by the social programming to see what everyone else sees, and it is very difficult to break down so many thousands of years of conditioning. The first step is to want to badly enough. We must really want to get free from the veils of ignorance. We must strongly desire to see the truth, the one God existing in all beings, including ourselves. We will have to have suffered long enough with the feeling of separation from our real self, which is omnipresent and immortal. We must desire it, as much as a man who is drowning desires air. ENLIGHTENMENT LIBERATION SELF-REALIZATION Let us examine three words that we use to describe this process. The words themselves hold clues as to the process. Enlightenment hints at the bringing of light to a situation, which is lacking in light. In this case we are talking about our minds and our ability to see and perceive the truth of our reality. We are living in darkness. We do not see the truth because there is not enough light in our minds. The mind is covered by a veil of ignorance that does not allow the divine light of the soul to shine through. This veil is basically made up of our thoughts, desires, beliefs and habitual forms of feeling and functioning, in which we act, pretty much unconsciously and mechanically, like robots. We can bring light to our minds with techniques such as prayer, meditation, advanced breathing exercises and reflection on spiritual truths. Silence of the tongue and mind are essential for this process. One who wants to arrive at this state of clarity will have to learn to speak and think much less, and to empty his mind of its usually mundane contents, in order to experience the divinity of each situation. Liberation implies the process of getting free from some type of limitation. From this word we can understand that man is imprisoned in his own mind, and its limited and distorted thoughts about himself and the world. These beliefs limit his perception, understanding, decisions, expression and movements. He limits himself and then cries out that his rights have been limited. Most of us are our own greatest suppressors. We feel that others are suppressing us, when the key to our prison lies in our own hands. We, either are not aware that only we are able to set ourselves free, or know it and are afraid to do it. Freedom is often scary. There is responsibility. There is self-dependency. There is no one to blame any more for our problems. The key to our freedom is the transformation of our beliefs, and our breaking free from our habitual ways of thinking and functioning. The word self-realization implies that we have another self, which we have not yet realized. It implies that we have within us abilities, powers and talents that we have not yet realized. It also means that we have not manifested them here on the earth level in our daily lives. It hints at the fact that we are not yet complete in our perception of ourselves, nor in expressing our full potential. This underestimation of our being and its abilities is a major obstacle in our seeing the truth. If we cannot see the truth about ourselves, how can we see the truth about the world around us? Again our main impediment is our belief system and our habitual way of perceiving and acting. Self-realization means letting go of our identification with our lower, limited, personality self and starting to communicate with and identify with our higher, limitless Self. REMOVING THE BARS, VEILS AND OBSTACLES The first step in overcoming these impediments to real Œseeing¹ is to keep alive the continuous desire to be free, to see and to actualize our real Self. This desire is often stimulated by meetings with other people who have the same desire, or through lectures, books and magazines on this subject. We may also feel an intense desire for that unity during prayer, reflection or meditation. Spiritual retreats are of great benefit in helping us make quantum leaps in our perception. The problem is that these stimuli are often spaced far apart in our lives and make up a small fraction of our weekly experiences. The rest of the time we are preoccupied with various problems and mundane concerns, or with satisfying momentary desires for various pleasures, or simply functioning in a mechanical way, without even wondering if, what we are doing, is useful, pleasant or what we would really like to be doing. For this reason one would do well to become involved with some spiritual group, which is collectively seeking to discover the truth of life, not mentally but experientially. Such contact should be at least twice a week to be really effective. At such meetings, groups may discuss spiritual teachings of the great masters. They may pray, chant or meditate together. They might also perform various energy-liberating techniques, such as exercises and breathing techniques. They may eventually decide to offer selfless service to the community at large. Most of us will need further help in order to be able to remember that desire to Œsee¹, even when we are involved with problems at our work, or discussing with friends, or caring for family responsibilities. All of the above techniques will be very helpful in raising the general level of energy and perception. Simultaneously however, we will need to examine our belief system with the help of the questionnaire in the first chapters of this book. We will need to recognize the specific beliefs, which do not let us remember the truth in specific situations. I would recommend to all to work seriously with that questionnaire, and discover which specific beliefs are preventing them from experiencing full satisfaction in each of the five categories mentioned: security and contentment; self-love and self-acceptance; love and acceptance of others; the development of abilities, talents and powers; and our relationship with God. Discovering the specific limiting beliefs in each category and replacing them with spiritual affirmations will be an important step in getting free. TECHNIQUE The following exercise will help us to be even more conscious of our desire to break the veils of ignorance. Remember every half-hour to stop and silently repeat this phrase 3 times: "I WANT TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY¹. Do this regardless of what you are doing. Make signs to remind yourself. If you have an alarm on your watch, set it. If your watch beeps on the hour, remember at least on the hour to look around you and mentally repeat the phrase, "I WANT TO SEE THINGS DIFFERENTLY". Independently of this, 5 times a day stop for a longer period of 2 minutes (only two minutes), and look around you randomly letting your eyes fall impartially on whatever is before you. Start with the phrases: "I SEE ONLY THE PERISHABLE. NOTHING I SEE WILL LAST. NOTHING I SEE IS REAL. I AM DETERMINED TO SEE DIFFERENTLY." Then as your eyes fall on various objects and beings repeat silently to yourself, "I AM DETERMINED TO SEE THIS PERSON, SITUATION, EVENT, ATTRIBUTE DIFFERENTLY". Repeat this every time your eyes focus on a particular thing. Do not avoid repeating it for certain objects or beings. Be impartial. Desire to see everything differently. Do this for about one week before going on to the next chapter. Continue all your other spiritual practices as usual. This does not replace your other spiritual efforts. It helps bring their results into your daily life.
