The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #6 – Ascension

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #6 – Ascension

Ascension is the period of rising above all that was formerly known. All unusable prior things and earthly cares and concerns have been abandoned. The believer’s consciousness begins to arise, which can feel like buoyancy or weightlessness. The energy changes and the believer can begin to relax into this new realm. This period of ascension takes the believer upwards through levels, which some sojourners have described as “the result of the final level is seeing the face of God himself.”…

When The Dog Bites

When The Dog Bites

Circumstances, big or small; situations, major or minor. We sometimes feel taken in by these occurrences in our lives, manipulated and mistreated with the sense that this is not our own doing. We seclude ourselves, nurse the wounds and think we heal only to return to the situation with the thought ‘it will be different’. It is commonly compared to the guy that plays with a dog, having a great time and then the dog bites. The guy runs off…

The Sound Of Silence

The Sound Of Silence

There was a famous song in 1965 called ‘The Sound of Silence’. One of the artists summed up the song’s meaning as “the inability of people to communicate with each other, not particularly internationally but especially emotionally, so what you see around you are people unable to love each other.” In the spiritual world, silence is found during the times when the heart is being tested. During the silence, the ear of the believer is also being trained to listen…

What In The World?

What In The World?

The sensing of an unfulfilled need is common during the Spiritual Journey. “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” – C.S. Lewis

Freedom

Freedom

You will find that as you relinquish how you used do things, which is just another old pattern or habit, that creativity will make things a whole lot more fun and interesting, for you and those around you. When you are conscious of self-rule, all actions will be judged as right or wrong, setting up the believer for torment about what was or wasn’t done. A change of behavior is not the answer because the faulty nature remains hidden, along…

Memory Lane

Memory Lane

It is important to understand that methods learned that alleviate pain, suffering and misery have been stored in the memory. The same holds true for the afflictions of pleasures and gratifications. When circumstances in the Spiritual Journey are created to bring attention to those afflictions, the solution of how it was dealt with in the past comes to the forefront to be exercised again and again to relieve stress or relive fervor, but it’s only a temporary measure. When that…

Feeling Lost

Feeling Lost

There are times during the Spiritual Journey where there seems to be a sense of being lost. The dictionary defines lost as: “no direction, no purpose; bewildered as to place, direction, etc.; not used to good purpose, as opportunities, time, or labor; wasted.” This sense of being lost can be the flesh feeling itself being emptied of all things familiar, habitual and of doing what it wants. Simultaneously, it can also be the spirit longing to be useful and purposeful…

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #5 – Resurrection

The Spiritual Journey: Significant Event #5 – Resurrection

Resurrection for a believer is when the condition of the Word has been set free from containments or constraints. When there is total surrender and the work is complete that separates the believer from the former life and ways of doing things, the resurrection is the beginning of the transformation. Since former things are no longer a constraint for the believer, they are prepared to live a harmonious life on earth that has no limits. Each believer is made fully…

Leave The Mud Camp

Leave The Mud Camp

In a dream a friend and I were walking down a road when we found ourselves entering a camp. The street was muddy, the homes were old broken railroad cars and rusted trailers surrounded by mud. Mud was everywhere, and everyone we saw was dirty and caked with mud. I knew that we had to leave this area, or we would soon become part of the landscape. I turned to grab my friend’s hand, but she had wandered over to…
