SPEAKER_01 (00:02):
How has your spirit
grown since the devastating loss
that caused your grief?
SPEAKER_00 (00:08):
What if I told you
that there's more to it?
That there are benefits andresources from heaven that are
available to help you in thislife, and you've never heard
about them.
Are you curious?
Well, join Gordon Merrill as hedigs deeper into making heaven
real in this life.
SPEAKER_01 (00:34):
Welcome back to
Making Heaven Real.
In recent weeks we've covered alot of topics, and a lot of that
seems to slowly start comingtogether on the other end of
that now, but let's kind ofreview a few things that we've
been going over.
We reviewed our origin asheavenly spirits that God sent
(00:58):
to earth and put in a humanform.
We reviewed our life's plan andour spiritual eternal lessons
plan.
We reviewed the effects of griefon our human bodies.
And we reviewed a grief toolkitthat we can use to help others
(01:22):
who are in grief with the samekind of support we would have
liked to have had.
But mostly we reviewed that weare heavenly spirits in human
form, here to live through andgain knowledge from a human
(01:42):
experience.
The prophet Isaiah in the Bibleeven referred to it when he
said, Before I was born, theLord called me.
And from my mother's womb he hasspoken my name.
Doesn't sound like we wait untilthe human is born and a viable
(02:06):
baby in the mother's arms beforewe number one either name it or
before the Lord even recognizesthat it's here.
Before I was born, the Lordcalled me.
Sounds like taking a spirit,putting in putting it in human
(02:28):
form and sending it to Earth fora mission.
Which we've already talkedabout.
But as a part of all of thisthat we've just reviewed over
the last couple weeks, last weekwe kind of looked at this more
from the standpoint of thespiritual qualities from the
(02:48):
different cardinal coordinatesacross several cultures.
Last week we looked at North andhow Chinese culture and North
American, Native Americanculture reviewed and looked at
(03:14):
the characteristics of theNorth.
Today let's look at thespiritual significance of the
West.
The Native American looks atthat as not only a place of
sunset, but because of thesunset, it looks at it as a
(03:36):
place of introspection and wherethe ancestors go.
The Egyptian culture calls itthe realm of the dead.
Celtic looks at it as the landof the other world or the place
(03:57):
of spiritual transition.
And the Chinese look at it asautumn or the place of letting
go.
If we start combining a lot ofthe information that comes to us
from the different cultures, westart to picture an energetic
(04:22):
framework for spiritualcommunication.
We just talked about the Celticlooking at this as a land of the
other world and spiritualtransition.
And the Egyptians looking at itas the realm of the dead, and
(04:44):
Native Americans looking at itas the place of the ancestors.
So the spirit communication bylooking towards the West seems
to come to us through allcultures.
(05:05):
You know, if there was a randomstory in one culture that wasn't
replicated in all cultures fromway back before there was
internet and wirelesscommunication and even wired
telegraph and telegram.
(05:56):
Or the thinning of the veil.
Native Americans believe thatthe outer world dissolves in the
(06:20):
West.
Partly because they see thesunset, they see the place where
that's where the ancestors are,that's where people go when they
pass.
So the outer world dissolvesthere, but then that's where the
inner world also awakens.
(06:43):
Back to that inner world again,which we'll discuss in detail in
a little bit.
Lots of people in the world tryto connect to spirit by reaching
out.
But the West teaches us to dothis in an opposite.
(07:06):
Spirit's not outside.
It's not to the West.
Spirit is here inside ourselves.
So that's where the inner worldis.
Our inner world is the spiritwithin us.
(07:26):
Hmm, sound familiar?
You know, the spirit that Isaiahsaid the Lord knew and called
before he was even a human.
Okay, that's that's the innerworld.
That's that spirit that's withinus that came to earth in this
human form for this life's plan.
(07:52):
But the spirit within usencompasses a lot of things.
And here's the points that youwant to try and remember for
later on because we're we'reworking through them slowly, but
the spirit within us encompassesthe emotional body, the
(08:14):
intuitive body, the imagination,the memory field, the quiet self
inside us, and our soul'slistening place.
(08:37):
So there's a lot involved inthat spirit that's in us.
The West helps us to go from theouter world to the inner world
by dissolving the outer world,focusing more on the inner world
and letting that inner worldawaken.
Because that inner worldconnects our spirits with us.
(09:02):
That inner world is where ourSTC talks to us, works with us,
communicates with us.
Our inner world is what's beenknown as the first spirit world
or the first level of the spiritworld.
(09:23):
It's the one that's inside ofus, it's our emotional truth.
We just mentioned emotion,remember?
But that inner world is ouremotional truth.
And the West uses that emotionalbody to form a bridge between
(09:44):
those who are living and thosewho have transitioned.
The bridge between the livingand our loved one.
So that emotional body helps tobring our loved one closer to
(10:07):
us.
If it's the bridge between usand the loved one, when we feel
a longing or a warmth, or just asudden little wave of tears, or
a memory, that's not just ouremotions getting the better of
(10:30):
us.
That is a contact point.
This is not an obstacle.
It's a sacred channel.
It's not something that'shappening to us where we're
having problems, quote unquote,there's the air quotes again,
quote unquote, dealing withgrief, but it's become our
(10:56):
sacred channel.
It's not our imagination, butour inner world, our inner
focus.
Has landscapes, it has textures,it has weather, thresholds,
(11:19):
doorways, currents.
It's a real energy environment.
It's just a different reality.
So when you close your eyes andyou turn inward and you start to
enter this space and you startthinking about what's inside and
(11:43):
blocking out all of the thingsthat are outside, that's where
you internally are focusing onthe West.
But the West has a coupledifferent characteristics.
(12:04):
The West is the direction ofdescent.
Not that we're going down orgoing down an elevator, but
going inward.
Descending deeper, softer,quieter, and more receptive.
It teaches us to sink intoourselves and block out the
(12:25):
other world for a while.
And there's where we findmemories, intuition, a subtle
voice, and that emotional echowe were just talking about.
We feel a sense of whoever weare trying to tap into.
(12:51):
It is not a collapse of ourpersonality, but it's a return
to the person we're trying toconnect to.
The West is also a direction ofsurrender.
(13:13):
Can you imagine the NativeAmericans along the trail of
tears being forced to head west?
Where they had to surrender tothe Great Spirit under those
conditions?
Surrender is real.
It's not giving up.
It's allowing yourself to be apart of where you are.
(13:41):
It's like a softening.
It's a way to allow you toreceive and to trust.
Let the moment that you'rehaving when you're feeling
inward and you're having thisemotional response.
Let that lead you.
So that this effort to feel yourloved one deepens within you and
(14:06):
teaches you.
That you feel the spirit.
(14:30):
We talked not too long ago aboutthere's no such thing as
coincidence.
Your spirit's here on a life'splan.
It's a plan that you were a partof.
It's a plan that you agreed toand signed off on before you
came to Earth.
Kind of back like when Isaiahwas talking about God calling
(14:51):
him before he was in hismother's womb.
What you were expected to do orwhat you were wanting to do and
what you were wanting uh toaccomplish in this lifetime was
a joint effort between you, yourspirit team, and God.
(15:20):
So there's no coincidence.
It's all a part of your plan.
I'm gonna take this one stepfurther this time, and I'm gonna
come up with another topic thatmay kind of cause you to do some
thinking.
If there's no coincidence, canwe also say that there's no real
(15:46):
deja vu?
Now hang with me for a minuteand let me try and explain why
I'm saying this.
Let's go back to our example ofthe college class.
Let's say our spirit is fullydevoted to this degree program,
(16:09):
which is our overall spiritualplan.
And we find ourselves in thislifetime in a fourth year class,
do we really need to go back andlearn a lesson that we learned
in the second year class?
(16:33):
For example, in year two, if youtook and passed trigonometry
one, so that now you're in thefourth year and you're in
trigonometry two, do you reallyneed to go back and learn
everything that you learned intrig one?
(16:55):
No.
But in this particular lifetime,your human form may not fully
remember everything that youlearned in trig one, but you
(17:15):
don't need to go back and learnit again because you've already
been there.
So, what if deja vu is nothingmore than your ancestors, your
spirit team, providing you witha download that provides you the
(17:41):
information you need in thislifetime to complete the class
that you're currently working onin this human form.
Now, what you may remember issome part of that that's like a
(18:02):
memory or a picture or somethingfrom that particular lifetime
that provides you with thisquote deja vu, which is the part
that your conscious mindrecognizes from this download.
(18:25):
Now, if you're thoroughlyconfused, let me give you a
quick example that I think willhelp to explain that.
Years ago, I had several verydistinct, strong images that
came to me.
Didn't make any sense withanything I'd ever seen before,
(18:47):
knew of, or experienced, atleast not in this life.
What I was picturing was a town,streets, houses, farmland, all
(19:10):
kinds of things that I had neverseen before.
Even to the point where I wastrying to figure out where this
imagery was coming from andwhere I may have seen this
previously in my lifetime, andfinally it actually came to me
that this was from a town I hadnever been to.
(19:34):
In a state that I had barelybeen to, because I'd only been
to the larger city in thatstate, or traveled through it on
interstate.
At the time I talked about itwith my wife, and we talked it
over a good bit and startedcomparing notes and trying to
look up some things and do someresearch to see if we could find
(19:55):
out where this was all comingfrom.
And eventually we took avacation one year and went in
the direction of that state, andthen in the direction of that
town, and decided that a part ofour vacation we would spend a
couple days in that town and dosome looking around and just see
(20:15):
if any of that made sense.
What we found was two or threethings.
Not only did we find exactly indetail the items that I had
recognized from the imagery ofcertain architectural details
(20:42):
inside the city, but also knewexactly what stoplight to make a
left-hand turn to go out theroad I had pictured, knew
exactly far how far out thatroad I would find houses on the
side of that road that were theones I had pictured.
(21:03):
But even more interesting was aswe arrived to the city limits,
was finding out how thatemotionally affected my body.
You know, we talked earlier atthe beginning of the of the
(21:25):
episode about the things thatyour spirit encompasses with the
emotional, intuitive,imagination, memory.
The emotional effect of my bodywhen we drove into that town
indicated a connection.
Being able to literallyintuitively tell her where to
(21:49):
turn.
Looking for.
In a city I'd never been, in astate that I had barely been
into, but not anywhere near thispart of the state, and found
(22:13):
exactly what we were lookingfor.
Now you say, well, you know,towns are towns, architecture's
about the same for those timeperiods.
You know, what makes you thinkthis is anything any different?
What was important to me in thisparticular time frame, in this
particular previous life, wasout this road where the houses
(22:39):
were that I found.
On the other side of the roadwas nothing but farmland at that
lifetime.
And the thing that was differentabout this was down this entire
road was a string of houses andnot a driveway on that road.
(22:59):
Every one of those houses, thedriveway came up from behind the
house off of an alleyway.
It's very distinctcharacteristic that's different
from most towns and most cities.
Primarily, most of those housesat that point in time were there
(23:21):
for housing the workers whoworked on the large farm.
And those houses were exactlywhere I knew where they would
be.
The driveways were exactly whereI knew they would be.
After we turned down that roadfrom the main street in
(23:43):
downtown, at exactly the light Iknew we needed to turn on.
All in a town I had never seen.
So that's not deja vu.
That's spirit communication.
(24:07):
We do know that our spiritsreceive communication from our
guardian angel and others withinour STC, who provide us tools
and lessons that we learned inprevious lives necessary for us
(24:29):
to continue and learn and growand mature in this life.
Just like we talked abouttrigonometry one.
(24:58):
That was a major download fromthat lifetime.
To the point that there wereseveral distinct images that
could not be argued with.
(26:34):
A lot of very good, close,detailed, strong communication
from my wife on this sacredchannel.
That's the West.
That's where we're looking atfinding our ancestors.
(26:57):
That's where we're looking atintrospection.
Well, because we're going intothe inner spirit and getting rid
of the outer world around us.
So the Native Americans andtheir introspection and
ancestors, the Celtic with theirspiritual transition.
(27:25):
All of this is starting to makemore sense when you put all the
pieces together and look at it.
Now, from our perspective, we'vetalked about a lot of things
that we were talking about atthe beginning when we looked at
the details that encompass ourspirit in our inner world.
The West specifically kind ofdealt more with the emotional
(27:49):
body and the intuitive body, butit also talked about the
connection that we have and thesacred channel that we have that
helps us reflect on our quietself, our memory, and is
definitely that sacred channelhas become our soul's listening
place.
(28:14):
What we have available to us inall of this communication
provides the details to whatwe've been talking about in the
weeks previous leading up tothis point.
(28:34):
The West invites us to confrontour fears, delve into the
mysteries of life, and embracethe unknown with curiosity and
courage.
Even if we as humans don't fullyknow our current life's plan for
our spirit, our spirit teamdoes.
(29:02):
So embracing the unknown is notas ominous when we fully trust
our spirit team and allow themto plan, organize, and
facilitate our human journey forour spirit to learn, grow, and
mature.
(29:24):
If we utilize thesecharacteristics from the West
and apply them to ourintrospection and our
communication, we are that muchfurther towards making heaven
real in our life.
