Speaker 1 (00:00):
Everyone, Welcome to spiritual sunshine today. We are happy to
connect and be connected all the time with everyone, aren't we. Yes,
thank you for connecting with us today. It's really beautiful,
just the feeling of sunshine that I get from all
(00:22):
of you folks. So thank you so much for your
love and support. Today we are diving into what else consciousness? No,
I'm kidding, We're already there. We don't have to go
anywhere to dive into consciousness. We're already there. And the
crazy thing about the light of love that is consciousness
(00:46):
is that the more we relax into it, the more love, light, peace, chillness, exuberance, excitement,
all the good things we feel. And yes, sometimes the
dark side comes up, sometimes the shadow comes through, at
(01:10):
least in our minds. But the beauty of that is
its energy. It's energy. It's still God's energy expressing itself
through our minds. Yes, our minds can be distorted, but
that sensation, those feelings, that's still energy from the spiritual sun.
Everything is empowered from the same energy source. Even evil
(01:34):
that misuses good, misuses truth, misuses what we call reality
to further its end. But guess who's using it to
do something? Good. Yes, life itself uses the dark side
of things to make things better. Crazy enough, crazy enough,
(01:55):
that's why it's prophesied right that at the darkest time,
what comes, what comes well, the light, the sweet light
of victory, of peace, of love in our hope prophecies.
It's in many different indigenous cultures in their prophecies about
(02:16):
the end times, from the Hebrew tradition and culture to
those in South America that believed that eventually God and
gods and goddesses would come back and set things right. Well,
(02:38):
guess what. Guess who the gods and goddesses are in
the lower case that's you and me. As the Bible
used the term we are gods. We are gods, but
we're empowered by the wholeness of God. And it's not
a big butt actually, because it's not a big thing.
(03:01):
You're gonna have to forgive me. It's not a big butt.
Because God is one with us. We like to avoid ourselves,
so we make that separation that b ut as high
and long, and you know, everything is possible because we
don't want to put ourselves on the same side as
(03:22):
God be accused of. I don't know you name it right,
that part of your voice must have spoke up at
one point in this video, probably of that inner voice.
Oh no, that's too much, too close to God. But
you know who else talked that way, and it's the
way we should all talk Jesus. Jesus talked that way.
(03:45):
So remember your read text and maybe even go over it,
as I should probably do again, because he said some
astounding things about our nature that we haven't eternalized. So
thank you for coming to know that about yourself eventually
(04:07):
and starting to know that. Now we're always starting. There's
always a greater discovery to be found. But hopefully one
day for ourselves we can come to a place of peace.
Whatever the beliefs are, whatever the thoughts, it's knowing that
we are in God, and God is in us. As
(04:28):
Christ said, be and me as I am in you. Right,
I'm the vine, you're the branches. He also said, the
branch that doesn't abide in the vine is what thrown
into the fire. God's not punishing us in these examples. No,
(04:48):
it's just the natural ramification a feeling separate from God.
It's a fire. It feels like we're burning when we
think we're separate from life itself. How could we be right?
Every good thing is from God, at least in my opinion,
from the universe, from life, whatever you want to call it. Right,
(05:10):
And do you have any good things going on? Even
if you know not always in your head? You've got
some celves doing some cool work, right, that's a good thing.
You've got a lot of cells and even beneficial bacteria,
and how your brain works, and you know everything about
what all these larger structures do. The skull, the fingers,
(05:33):
the hands, the elbows, the face. You have all those
things and they're good. So guess what they're from God? Yes?
I think so often in religious circles, whatever the faith,
this idea of humility becomes so distorted that we start
(05:54):
to make ourselves separate and make ourselves full. We're taught that,
and we're afraid that if we don't feel that way,
we're going to burn. Right, But what does it feel
like now? What's it feel like now? Often feels like burning,
(06:15):
It's unfortunate for a lot of people. Often feels like burning.
If you really look at your own experience, anxiety, the fear,
it's not fun, whatever you want to call it, Maybe
not burning, Maybe it's some I don't know. It's not
a jacuzzi or maybe a jacuzi on high I don't know,
it's not you know, just a nice walk in the
(06:35):
park all the time for a lot of us, unfortunately.
But we're made to center in that place of life
and that's what we are. And so the less we
think about our separateness, where we identify it and say okay,
we start making a little more lightly of it unless
(07:00):
we use that separateness to think, which is another kind
of thing where we're thinking about other people in certain ways,
when we're thinking about our environment or something in a
very disparaging light, when we're so negative about ourselves about
whatever it is, instead of staying present to the spirit.
(07:25):
You know, that's separate thinking too, and it's not fun either.
So as each take a moment as spiritual practice, this
is nice because we always have a moment. We just
take that moment whatever we're doing, could be working, could
be talking to someone, could be reading or cooking or
(07:48):
cleaning something up, or even when we were getting frustrated
or angry, we take that moment to see it, to
just notice that we see that happen. We are the
piece that's behind all the action because you wouldn't see it.
(08:11):
The action you're not behind. You don't see right, it's
not in your sphere of awareness. You don't see it obviously.
I mean, if you're aware of something, it's something right,
and it's in your awareness. But that part of your
awareness that sees it isn't that action or it's all action.
(08:36):
It isn't that war you see on TV? Is it?
It's also not that thought that you had little control over, right,
that came unbidden, like switching the channel. Accidentally, Most thoughts do,
most feelings do. There may be a whole history for
behind those feelings, yes, but they come from nowhere in
(09:01):
a way, they come from in front of us. But
they're not us. They're still not really us. Because what
are we? We are that light of God, why we're
called children of God. We are that love and that
wisdom which makes the light heat and light makes light.
(09:25):
What it is a little bit of heat, a little
bit of love, I guess, a lot of heat, a
lot of love in this example, the greatest heat. Well,
you're the burning sun of God when God's not a sun.
But symbolically that works, right, and often all our symbols
(09:48):
we can kind of distill back to that centering idea
that God is the source of light and love. All
the symbols in ancient history connecting to God often had
God is the sun, God is an eye, right raw Others.
Even if someone stood in the place of God said
I am this being, I'm your God, they often use
(10:10):
the ic iconography iconography of God because they're saying they're God.
Often the things we think are so evil, like an eye,
you know, an eye and picture that's just an eye.
That's evil, right, But it's been co opted, just like
(10:31):
the Nazi symbol. Many indigenous cultures still today use that symbol.
It's not the Nazi swastika. It can symbolize even the
sun in Egyptian ancient Egyptian culture, and many other things
in other cultures. Right, crazy, the Nazis were really into
(10:54):
the occult. It's true. There's a lot of you know,
history that you could read about out in connection to that.
But really we should be into these symbols in our
own way, not going necessarily to history books, but noticing
(11:14):
that our whole existence points to God, points to God. So, yes,
we have a dark side. It can come up. We
can be really hard on ourselves and on other people.
(11:35):
We can be really hard on the world and our leaders,
which some may deserve, but we must note for our
own sake that it all happens in the spaciousness of
God's peace. You call it space, even what space, it's
peace allows things to come and go as they will. Well,
(11:58):
that's like the definition of peace, heat, cold light, dark.
Space holds it all. It's like the universe itself symbolizes
something greater, like the openness of love to let beings
be in the tribe, to get them to do better.
(12:20):
That's why the vacuum of space isn't a vacuum. It's
full of energy, right, according to our quantum physics. So
full of energy. That's where we get a lot of
the really cool effects in quantum physics and derivatives that
we haven't quiet leaned into in our culture. But today
(12:44):
it's about the vacuum that is our light as well,
our space that allows for life. Today is always about
that because God starts with you. I mean, God has
got God's taking care of. What's God concerned about next? Oh,
it's these one big beings on some other plant. No,
(13:06):
it's each of us that's God's next concern in the
first one's not a concern. Okay, So God's got your back, really,
and things will come together perfectly if you let them.
Gotta let them, gotta let yourself come together perfectly. It's cool,
(13:27):
it's fun. Give it a try. These
