WAKE UP-NOW

TEN POINTS TO FREEDOM

The sun is rising, the coffee is perking and the birds are saying in song, that it is time to get up and smell the coffee. In other words, get up off your duff and start doing the work that is necessary for today, the NOW. How many times have you heard the same phrase over and over, ten, twenty, a hundred, a thousand? How many times have you give the same answer? "I know and I am trying to do what is necessary to get my life in balance." Then arrives the big word, are you ready for this; BUT and we know what follows that word, don't we? I know how tire you must be, being told the same thing year after year.

However it has been proven that humanity can only learn by getting experience. Most of us go through the same experience several times before we learn. It seems that repetition is the fastest way of learning. Could there be another way of getting our lives in balance without the need of repeating the same experience over and over? It just seems natural that if we look at our experiences and decide that we will not repeat or entertain those experiences in thought (1). We could save a lot of time. Why then don't we follow those few simple rules and get our lives together? Why can't we get balanced and stay balanced? The answer is very obvious to me. I need to lift my seat enough so my brain can get out and up where it belongs so I may better understand where my priorities lie. We fool ourselves into believing that we are on the path doing or trying to do the things needed to reach a full balanced life.

Oh how we lie to ourselves and to others. We would like very much for humanity to think we are working hard to become balanced, while all the time we are playing a game with ourselves, pretending that we really want to become a spiritual and balanced person. If we are truly working to become balanced, there would be no need to have an outward expression of any kind of ritual. Please don't misunderstand me, we need to have our quiet time our meditations eat proper food and drink sufficient water. We don't need to fool ourselves into thinking that because we attend a class that teaches the inner teachings and attend different workshops that we wil find the tranquility that surpasses all understanding. No, these things in themselves will never bring us face to face with our own true spiritual being. We need to apply all the above after we have learned how to live the life of a pure soul and we can only learn this by living that life, and what should we consider living the life to mean?

1. Love yourself.

2. Love others.

3. Judge not yourself.

4. Judge no one.

5. Remove all thoughts of good and evil from your being.

6. Come to the realization of what and who you are, then live accordingly.

7. Treat others as you would like others to treat you,even though they hurt you.

8. Lift others, not by doing, rather by showing.

9. Realize that life is beautiful, but it is for the sole pupose of learning first; then enjoying.

10. Hold fast to your belief no matter how difficulst. As the herd will always test you and try to bring you back into the fold.

THESE ARE THE TEN POINTS TO FREEDOM

Are you kidding? No, we are not kidding. You have a choice and your time is limited as to what you want to do. Let us first impress upon your consciousness that what ever you decide to do will be the right decision for you. The important thing is that you follow the dictates of your inner voice, only it and nothing or no one else. I trust that is clear to you.

How can I live in this world and be happy if I follow the above ten points to freedomto the letter? I will have no time for the fun things I want to do. Our answer is, there is no way you can be happy and live in this world without following the ten points. You will never know happiness until you find yourselves. Humanity has been selfish for so long that the heard is under the impression that their way is the only way to happiness. How sad that they know themselves not.

The herd has little to no idea as to what freedom of the soul will accomplish for them. It is up to us to show them the way, not by words but by deeds. "By their works you shall know them" Not by the amount of money or all the THINGS they have accumulated. Now is the time to wake up from your deep sleep. When you do wake up you wil find that your feeling will be that of a person that has realized they have awaken from a dream. The dream seemed so real that it leaves you wondering what is real and what was a dream. Then you will look around you and see the herd running too and fro, not knowing in what direction they are going. You will then remember your deep sleep and the dream you thought was so real. For the first time in this life you WILL experience freedom and oh how beautiful it is. At first it will be very difficult to contain yourself. You will want to stay in that place of perfect peace forever. The peace that surpasses all understanding. You will soon learn how to move in and out of that state of consciousness, realizing that you still have experiences to get, and humanity to serve.

Now the path can get steeper than it was before. We could relax and get in a place where we are self-complacent. Then, when you are not looking the Herd surrounds you and you must once again fight to break free. WATCH AND PRAY LEST YOU FALL, WHEN YOU THINK YOU STAND. We were told by a great teacher two thousand years ago that "It would be easier for a camel to pass though the eye of a needle than for man or woman to enter the kingdom of heaven." No, no one promised you a rose garden. Be sure of one fact that remains unchanged, and that is the fact we always have help. We need only to ask and it will be given to us.

If you were to take a long trip to a far off land and this land was not known to you, what would be the first thing you would do? Would it not be to chart a course? Then does it not make sense to find out about the people, food, water and any other information you could get to make your trip more pleasurable? Once you have the information then you proceed to plan the items you would need for the trip. I'm convinced you would not drive in any direction, hoping you will find the road that will get you to your destination. That would be pure foolishness on your part. You have a map, so why not follow those directions and save yourself a lot of gas (vital energy). Yet is this not what the masses are doing? Everyone is running around like crazy trying to find the road to peace and happiness. They have no map nor do the have any knowledge of what to expect if they do accidentally stumble on a place of tranquility. They will not have the means nor the tools to be able to survive. So they fall back into their comfort zone and tell themselves they will try later. No problem, that's as it should be for them at this time.

What about the souls who have all the toos, all the knowledge needed to find and survive in their creation of what spirituality means to them? What will become of them if they belong on this higher plane, but refuse to follow the road map? Will they be confronted with larger problems? No, not necessarily so. They may be removed from any future problems and no one will ever notice.

You should ponder the above paragraph with extreme care.

(1.) The reasons for all our troubles, disappointments and so called negative situations are because of the fact that; that is where we exist.
