The School of Life | Mastering Earth School
"Earth is as school for mastering how to manipulate Energy." ~Dolores Cannon
"Your life is a classroom, and your life is the means to bring you Home. Everything is step by step, and gently so. Tune into your Self and go kindly in the direction of love. You can always tell in which direction you are headed by how you feel. Pay attention to when you choose against Love, and then step back and choose again." ~Jesus, channeled through Erin Michelle Galito
Seeing is thinking that you are seeing. - "It is image-making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with illusions.
This introductory idea to the process of image-making which you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see now. That is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when this has occurred."
From A Course in Miracles, Lesson 15: "My thoughts are images which I have made."
Speaking of sight,
following are The 12 Celestine Insights:
1- Noticing Synchronicity
"SYNCHRONICITY is the entry point, the measure of whether we're connected spiritually. These "meaningful coincidences" are tiny miracles steering us toward the good life.
The key to increasing your awareness of Synchronicity is to practice each morning reminding yourself that it exists, and then immediately begin to look for its appearance in your life.
Synchronicity usually operates in a sequence. First, you identify an Intuitive thought or hunch that suggests a course of action that will move your life forward. Don't be too introspective here, just be aware of the thoughts that come to you and seem necessary to pursue. Second, when you follow the intuition and take this course of action, you find yourself in a place where a Synchronicity occurs.
2- The World has a "Spiritual Design"
"This step in consciousness happens when we look back on the spiritual journey of humanity throughout history. We see that we are in a new phase of human progress. Humanity is now awakening from a materialistic worldview and moving into a new outlook that recognizes "spiritual design." This design rewards an attitude of "helping others" and "making the world better." [...]
Together, with this insight, we can shape another historical era of inspirational life for generations to come."
3- "Giving", The Karmic Design
"We integrate the THIRD INSIGHT when we realize the Universe is not a dead, uncaring place.
It is an energetically connected environment that is spiritually constructed to bring our greatest dreams into fruition. All we have to do is align our lives with the Universe's ruling principle: GIVING.
To create this new "world view," we must understand and live in alignment with the Universe's Karmic Design.
The path to this majestic life lies NOT in ruling others or taking what we want. It lies in always looking out for the "best interests" of others, and at the same time, striving to perceive something they need in order to manifest their dreams.
When we practice improving in this way, it creates an immediate karmic effect in our lives.
When we adopt this outlook, and ask ourselves how we can be of service to another, our minds connect more deeply with the Divine mind and our intuitive capacity thus opens up.
By getting into alignment with Karmic design and helping, we attract more desirable, life enhancing connections with others, thereby injecting Synchronicity into our lives. Thus, GIVING to others brings forth the exact Divine coincidences needed for our dreams to come true. All we have to do is participate."
4- Human Control Dramas
"When we seek the ethic of giving and not taking from, or manipulating others, we step into consciousness. We begin to detect our ego's past manipulation devices, - Control Dramas - we have used to build ourselves up at another's expense.
If we are mindful and catch ourselves every time we begin our "Control Drama," eventually, our "Control Drama" falls away completely.
Now, through giving, we can move forward Synchronistically in freedom - ready to experience, even more, extraordinary moments of God's connection."
5- The Spiritual Connection
"We breakthrough, at least momentarily, to experience a moment that seems to move us past our normal level of consciousness and we sense an ultimate connection.
Sometimes, this event comes through a "spiritual practice" we've found that brings us to this moment. It could be a peak experience at a house of worship, or through prayer, meditation, music, communing with nature or a host of other points of entry.
Instantly, we receive a "fast forward" boost in our sense of well-being, peace, and even blissfulness. An experience described by prophets and saints as a greater sense of knowing and wisdom, and the deep emotion of love. Convincing us even more by "foretelling" that spiritual consciousness is real and provides a look ahead to the levels of awareness - the ultimate goal of spiritual evolution."
6- Sensing A Life Mission
"Experiencing moments of profound "Spiritual Connection" opens us to the 6th Insight. We begin to receive a sense of clarity for where Synchronicity is taking us; what our "Life Direction" might be.
This consciousness brings the strong Intuitions and guides us to our mission in this life.
It is usually a vague glimpse of our future destiny, one that invokes in us a heightened sense of inspiration and fulfilment. Though somewhat undetermined, our Intuitions can stand as a general goal that will help us understand, and follow, our Synchronistic path and help us move forward."
7- Following Intuition
"With our mission in mind, and as our lives move forward, we begin to notice Synchronicities aimed at our ultimate calling. In this buildup of consciousness, we become aware of our Intuitive Guidance at a higher level.
Through practicing MINDFULNESS, we can distinguish our thoughts that are Intuitions from mere calculative thoughts. Calculative thoughts are words that run through our minds as we make decisions, as though we are talking to ourselves. Intuitions, however, are not part of our deliberation over a problem or goal.
Intuitions come from a superior part of our intelligence. They naturally appear in the back of our minds as clarifying ideas on how to proceed. In short, they are ideas that sometimes seem too random, spontaneous, and not logical, but upon greater interpretation they can be observed to apply perfectly to the situation at hand.
Once we begin to identify guiding intuitions in this way, we realize how we have been missing them in the past. One way to clarify the different types of thought, is to ask yourself, "Why did I think of this now?"
Then, if we follow the guidance diligently with MINDFULNESS, an important Synchronistic breakthrough will take place - thus leading our lives forward to our greater calling. In this way, following our Intuitions is the key to increasing our Synchronistic Flow and maintaining our flow of destiny."
8- Giving Energy Increases Synchronistic Experiences
"We must adopt an additional ethic toward others, one which enhances our attitude of giving as we communicate with them.
We must actively "uplift" others by visualizing an expression of a higher connected consciousness in their eyes and on their face.
Continue to visualize them moving above their ego into an authentic, united state. As a result of this, not only is the person lifted into a greater level of experience, they are more likely to intuit some message they have for us."
9- Fulfilling Human Destiny
"We can now see how if everyone were practicing this virtue of "uplifting others" we would quickly accelerate the spiritual transformation of the world.
As we embrace a continuous experience of Synchronicity, millions of individuals will be unleashed to follow their destinies - and we will all find a place in the working world, which is in need of freedom from corruption. In this way, all the institutions of life are moved toward a perfect level of functioning. Capitalism itself, business at every level, food production, the problems of poverty, chemical pollution, and Government regulation will all become enlightened.
This enlightened Conscious evolution works,
because it happens through an effort all at once, replacing the top down efforts by corrupt governments.
The result is an economic development that frees up more and more time for individuals to pursue higher energy states directly with others.
Eventually, the basic needs of humanity can then all be automated and provided, as we focus on Synchronicities that will carry us to ever greater spiritual consciousness. Over time, such growth will transform us into a spiritual form and unite our current dimension with the after-life dimension, ending the cycle of birth and death. Humanity's destiny is, gradually, to bring the intelligence that inspires the Heavenly realms into the Earthly Domain."
10- The Afterlife - Guiding Us On Earth
"At this level of expanded consciousness, we become clearly aware of the life and death cycle of humanity. The Afterlife becomes, not an abstract idea, but a real place with real activities.
As this rapid spiritualization continues, the veil between Earth and Heaven begins to part, and we rise to sense and feel those in the afterlife with a new reality. Our Insight is that departed friends and loved ones are close to us, sending us messages, reminders and uplifting us into our missions.
Before we are born, we have a vision of this mission. When we get here, it goes unconscious as we are being educated. Then, as we move through the stages of life, it comes back into awareness. First, as attractions and amazing Synchronicities that are trying to wake us up. Followed by, a full-blown, inspiring goal.
With this Insight, we are making the higher meaning of life more conscious and self-evident while leading more people to catch the vision, and thus accelerate both their lives and the progress of the world."
11- The Power of Prayer
"In this level of consciousness, we become more purpose driven and receptive to how those in the afterlife are lifting us up. We begin to comprehend the real nature of prayer and guided purpose. We realize that prayer works within Karmic design.
The more we are in alignment with the principle of giving - and our inner intuition to accurately help others - we will sense our heightened, creative power and see it working through our prayers.
When we use this power for uplifting the spiritual consciousness of others, we draw more powerful people into our lives to uplift us.
The key is discovering that affirmative prayer, practiced with the emotion of gratitude (it WILL happen), establishes the strongest faith validity."
12- The Sensation of God's Presence Inside Us
"Armed with Divine confidence, we begin to take the next step to self-knowledge. We experience times when a greater sense of Divine begins to dwell within us.
This indwelling feels like a sense of God's presence. We still have our personal identity but this status becomes subservient to a complete consciousness of love, patience, and openness to action.
For this presence to remain or get more powerful, we must be totally transcendent of our "Control Dramas," or moments where we do not act on our intuition of other people's best interest. In this sense, Divine presence is always there, unless our bad habits put distance between us.
Feeling God's familiar presence, you will sense the flow of your destiny unfolding (at any age) and move into sincere awareness of the distractions and addictions your ego has always devised to sidetrack yourself.
The presence then becomes non-dual, existing both within and outside of us at the same time. When we are acting in Karmic alignment, it brings us an even greater, intuitive knowledge that animates the truth we tell to others. This enlarges us beyond our wildest dreams, providing we always act in harmony and recognition of it. We must never walk into a room without consciously realizing how His presence moves into the room with us. He keeps us in a relative zone of near miraculous helping. Furthermore, by getting into alignment with this design, you set the stage for the complete integration of all the insights and for sustained higher consciousness as the levels work together automatically."
"Ending off. When someone shares with you new concepts and ideas, don't just dismiss it and also don't just accept it. Test it for yourself. Experience it for yourself, then only does it become your truth."
