One of the most important understandings of the entire Spiritual Path is
the understanding that Earth is a Planetary Mystery School, and that every
single thing that happens in life is a Spiritual Test. Planet Earth is a
Spiritual School to teach Souls to become "Integrated Ascended Masters
and/or God Realized Beings." Every single thing that happens in life is a
teaching, lesson, challenge, and opportunity to grow. Most people do not
realize, or they forget that each and every moment of our lives, we are being
Spiritually Tested. Every thought we think is a Spiritual Test. As Edgar Cayce
said, "Thoughts are things." The Course in Miracles states in the
lesson book, "There are no neutral thoughts." What this means is
that every thought that enters your mind from within or without is of GOD or
is of the negative ego. Every thought that you think stems from the Christ /
Buddha Consciousness or lower self consciousness. Every thought you think
stems from oneness or separation. Every thought you think stems from Love or
fear. All day long, even when we think, we sleep, and dream, thoughts are
coming to us from within and without. Every single moment of life is a
Spiritual Test to think only GOD Thoughts.
The same is true, my beloved readers, with every feeling and emotion you
create. This is a Spiritual test. Your feelings and emotions are caused by
your attitude, perception, interpretation, and belief system. This is an
indisputable fact and law of the Universe. We each cause our reality by how we
think. If we think with our Melchizedek / Christ / Buddha Mind, we will create
only Spiritualized, positive feelings and emotions. If we think with our
negative ego/fear based/lower self mind, we will create negative feelings and
emotions. Every moment, even when you are by yourself, is a Spiritual Test to
see if you can keep your emotional body in a God Consciousness and positive
state, at all times.
Every word you speak, every moment of your life is a Spiritual Test. Are
your words coming from the negative ego or are they coming from the Heart of
GOD? What is the mental motivation of your words? Are they Sourced from the
selfish, self-centered negative ego, or were they motivated from true God
Consciousness? What is the feeling tone of every word? Is there any attack
energy, anger, or criticism, or do they carry the feeling tone of
unconditional love and non-judgementalness. Every moment of your life that you
speak is a Spiritual Test.
My beloved readers, every action you take no matter how small or
infinitesimal is a Spiritual Test. Is that action coming from and motivated by
GOD and God Consciousness, or by negative ego and separative/fear based
consciousness? Is that action adding to your Spiritual Path or decreasing it?
Is that action a waste of time or a good and balanced use of your energy?
My beloved readers, every use of your energy, no matter how small and
infinitesimal is a Spiritual Test. Is your energy helping self and others, or
hurting self and others? Is the use of your energy adding to your Light Body
or decreasing it? Are you wasting energy or are you using every particle of
your energy for a greater Spiritual purpose, for Love, for balance in a larger
perspective and for healing self and others? Every moment of your life is a
Spiritual Test to see if your can use your energy to only serve GOD and not to
serve the negative ego, fear, the lower self, lower self desire, the carnal
self, separative thinking, and victim consciousness.
My beloved readers, in every situation of life there is an appropriate
response or an inappropriate response. Every moment of life is a Spiritual
test to learn to respond appropriately from the way GOD would have you
respond. Who gives us the guidance on how to respond? This guidance comes from
our Higher Self, our Mighty I Am Presence, the Holy Spirit, and our own
Melchizedek / Christ / Buddha ideals that we have taken on consciously and
programmed into our subconscious mind. Every moment of life is a Spiritual
test to see if we can respond in a balanced manner instead of an imbalanced
manner.
Every interaction with another person is a Spiritual Test to see if we can
remain in unconditional love, forgiveness, nonjudgementalness, patience,
service, oneness, and egolessness at all times. Every interaction with an
animal, plant, or mineral is a Spiritual test to stay in harmony with GOD with
His three lower kingdoms.
Now, my beloved readers, what happens if we do not always pass these
Spiritual Tests every moment? The answer is nothing in the sense that
everything is forgiven and everything always remains in unconditional love.
Mistakes are positive not negative, and every mistake can be turned into a
positive if you gain the golden nugget of wisdom from that mistake. GOD always
forgives and it is just necessary for each person to forgive themselves. I
will add here however, that every moment of life is a Spiritual Test and
Spiritual Opportunity to realize GOD or not realize GOD. When you think a
negative thought you lose your realization of GOD on the mental plane in that
moment. When you allow yourself to feel a negative emotion, you lose your
realization of GOD in that moment on the emotional plane. When you behave
inappropriately you lose your realization of GOD in that moment on the
physical plane. Now it is important to understand that it is impossible to
never make a mistake. It also cannot be emphasized more emphatically that
mistakes are positive and part of the learning process.
So the Spiritual Path for everyone is up the mountain five steps, and down
four, up three down two, up three down one. I will say however, the more
overall integrated Spiritual Mastery you gain, the less mistakes you will make
and the quicker will be your Spiritual progress. The nice thing about GOD is
that He always welcomes His Sons and Daughters home like the Prodigal Son, no
matter what they have done in past lives, or this life, as long as they are
willing to change their ways. One does not have to be perfect to evolve. If
you truly want to realize GOD however, at the highest level, then you must be
unbelievably "joyously vigilant" over what you are causing and
creating on every level I have mentioned in this chapter.
Every time you allow yourself to slip and give into the negative ego or
lower self there is no judgement from GOD, however, you will have lost your
opportunity to realize GOD in that moment. You all know how much better it
feels to realize GOD every moment on all these levels. You also know how
terrible it feels to be out of harmony with GOD and out of harmony with Love.
It is also important to understand that the continual positive choices on your
part to continually realize GOD on all levels will build your Love quotient,
Light quotient, and Power quotient. It will also speed up your Initiation and
Ascension Process. It will also cleanse your karma. Every right choice speeds
up your Path to total God Realization and is creating and cementing good
habits into the subconscious mind. It is also helping the planet and helping
your Spiritual Brothers and Sisters, for all minds are one. It also helps your
Brothers and Sisters in an outer sense by demonstrating Melchizedek / Christ /
Buddha consciousness at all times.
If you are truly responding appropriately at all times then your entire
life will be a selfless path of service as well. You will not need to be
selfish that often because you are whole and complete within self and are one
with GOD in your realization in each and every moment. Hence every bit of
energy on every level of your being can go to loving and serving others. Once
God Realization is achieved on a Spiritual, psychological, and physical
Earthly level, one's only purpose to be on Earth is to serve. In saying this
one needs to stay balanced and integrated and to enjoy one's life. With this
context, one's total joy in life is to serve, because "true pleasure is
serving GOD." Never forget your Brothers and Sisters are incarnations of
God as well, even if they do not realize it.
True Spiritual Testing does not take place just when things are going well.
True Spiritual Testing of an individual takes place when emergencies, crisis,
stress, and attacks occur. Anyone can pass Spiritual Tests living in a cave or
never leaving your house. The true test of a Spiritual Master is to get
involved with Earth life and relationships with people of all kinds. This is
where the true testing occurs. Can you stay out of your negative ego and
remain in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness when raising children? Can you
stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness in a
romantic relationship? Can you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ
/ Buddha Consciousness with family members, extended family, parents and
in-laws? Can you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha
Consciousness with your boss, business partners, business associates, and/or
employees? Can you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha
Consciousness with fellow Spiritual Leaders, Spiritual Teachers, Lightworkers,
Spiritual competitors for clients or students in your field or profession? Can
you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness
when people attack you, get angry at you, or judge you fairly or unfairly? Can
you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness if
someone slanders you publicly or professionally? Can you stay out of your
negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness if someone steals a
large sum of money from you? Can you stay out of your negative ego and in the
Christ / Buddha Consciousness if your spouse or relationship partner doesn't
want to make love and/or have sex? Can you stay out of your negative ego and
remain in the Christ / Buddha consciousness if your spouse or relationship
partner is in a bad mood and emotionally off-centered and is taking it out on
you? Can you stay out of your negative ego and in the Christ / Buddha
Consciousness if you or others around you are making tons of mistakes
regardless if they are large or small? Can you stay out of your negative ego
and in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness watching the news, watching
opinionated politicians and/or reporters, or reading the newspaper? Can you
remain in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness when physically sick or during
extended chronic health lessons? Can you stay in the Christ / Buddha
Consciousness when someone you are close to passes on to the Spirit world? Can
you remain in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness during a traffic accident or
when getting a ticket? Can you remain in the Christ / Buddha Consciousness
during a messy divorce or fight with your partner? Can you remain in the
Christ / Buddha Consciousness and out of the negative ego when someone is
holding a grudge against you? Can you remain in the Christ / Buddha
Consciousness and out of your negative ego when everything is taken away in
your life like Job in the Bible? Can you retain this Christ / Buddha
Consciousness during a natural disaster such as a major earthquake, hurricane,
tornadoes, flood, or fire? Can you retain your Christ / Buddha Consciousness
and stay out of your negative ego if you lost all your money, had a divorce,
your physical health broke down, and you lost your job?
My beloved readers, these are the true Spiritual Tests. Can you live in the
"marketplace" and be fully involved in Earthly life and
relationships of all kinds, and keep your Spiritual Mastery and balance? This
is the true test of a full-fledged Ascended Master and God Realized being! It
must be understood that 100 percent perfection is not required to pass these
tests. Some of these would be extraordinarily difficult. Mistakes are positive
and we do not want to practice any kind of negative ego perfectionism that
expects us to be perfect at all times and never make mistakes. This is
impossible and unrealistic. The main purpose for this exercise is to just be
clear as to what the ideal is, and to strive for it. Going through an exercise
like this can be a preparation for maintaining the proper attitude and
perspective when lessons like these come.
This is a blueprint in a sense for the potential Spiritual lessons and
tests people on Earth often face. My Beloved Readers, I highly recommend
setting your attitude and perspective now, almost like programming your
conscious and subconscious computer so you will not be knocked off balance
when these things do happen, and you are mentally and emotionally prepared to
respond from your Christ / Buddha mind to the best of your ability. Again,
perfection is not required. You can actually achieve Ascension by balancing
only 50 percent of your karma. The key point however, is the more you can
learn these lessons, the more you can realize GOD psychologically in that
moment. So Earth is a school to practice. There is no such thing as death and
we are allowed to come back as many times as we need to learn all these
lessons and other ones on the Spiritual Path. My suggestion however, is to
take advantage of this incarnation and aim as high as you can on a Spiritual,
Psychological, and Physical / Earthly Level to realize GOD on all levels. By
doing this we not only help ourselves, but by doing so we are helping others
as well.
Now, my beloved readers, there is one more series of "Spiritual
Tests" that are the most severe of all, and where most lightworkers and
initiates "miss the mark and do not pass." The Spiritual Tests I
speak of here are when a person or lightworker moves into a position of
Leadership and/or Spiritual Leadership over others. What I am speaking of here
is when a person has become a Master of some degree and has become successful
in an inner and outer sense. They have lots of clients and students. They may
have become very financially successful and also may have become very famous.
They may hold positions Spiritually, or in the world, of great Spiritual
Leadership. They may have very large followings. They may be in positions of
great worldly and Spiritual power over others. They may give extremely large
workshops, seminars, classes, and may be on television, radio, be authors, and
in newspapers and magazines. My beloved readers, I think you get the picture.
It is now, that the true Spiritual Testing begins.
If you or others have made it through the first two lists, now the real
Spiritual Testing begins. Does the power the person now has, go to their head?
How do they treat others? How do they treat those not in their league? How do
they treat their employees? How do they treat people who call them on the
phone? How do they deal with other Spiritual Leaders? Do they let the fame go
to their head? What is their true motivations for doing what they are doing?
Do they put GOD before money? Do they put GOD before fame? Do they put GOD
before power? Do they have sex with all their students? How do they react when
criticized? Do they practice what they preach once they are off the stage and
out of the limelight? How do they react if someone tries to take away their
position of power, fame, or money? Are they the exact same person they were
before they were graced with this power, fame and wealth? Are they on a path
of true Christ / Buddha Consciousness or has self-aggrandizement taken over?
Has their channel remained clear or has it been corrupted by negative ego?
Have they truly retained their GOD purity and egolessness or have false GODs
and symbolic idol worship of negative ego attributes taken over? How do they
treat their students or disciples? Is their true motivation to fully empower
their students or is it always to retain their position of authority? Do they
truly put everything on "The Altar of GOD?" Have they allowed their
channel or teachings to become clouded by personal selfish agendas? Do they
have Spiritual ambition or negative ego ambition? Is the focus of their work
about themselves or about GOD and the Masters? Do they co-create with other
Spiritual Teachers and Leaders, or are they islands unto themselves? Are their
books, channelings, and teachings focused on telling you how great they are,
or really on selfless service? Are their teachings continuing to be balanced
on a Spiritual, psychological, and physical Earthly level, or has the negative
ego begun to fragment and create lack of balanced integration in the
teachings? Do they continue to maintain Mastery over their mind, emotions,
behavior, lower self desire, inner child, subconscious mind, sexual energy,
and energy in general or have they let down their standard, now that they have
achieved their Ascension, Seven Levels of Initiation and have climbed to the
top of this particular Planetary Mountain?
My beloved readers, these are the true tests of the Spiritual Path. Most
people have a hard time passing the second list in this chapter. Many
Spiritual Leaders reach this third level or list before they have mastered the
second list. Even those who have mastered the second list, in my Spiritual
observation, do not pass the third one. The Bible speaks of the Spiritual Path
being "a straight and narrow path." In my Spiritual observation as a
Spiritual Leader, Spiritual Teacher, and Spiritual Psychologist, most do not
meet this high mark and high calling. The usual cause is that they are more
developed in their Spiritual Body than they are in their Psychological Body.
Lack of proper mastery and integration of the psychological level will always
ultimately corrupt the Spiritual Level. You cannot live on the second floor of
a building when the first floor is falling apart or has become corrupted. My
beloved readers, in all humbleness and without absolutely no judgement in my
heart, I cannot tell you how many Spiritual Leaders, Spiritual Teachers,
Spiritual Channels, Spiritual Scientists, and Spiritual Friends that I have
seen fall from grace and become corrupted. It is mind boggling! It is why the
inner plane Ascended Masters have asked me to focus so much work on the
concept of "Integrated Ascension." Spiritual Leaders, Channels,
Spiritual Teachers, and lightworkers are achieving their Ascension and Seven
Levels of Initiation, but are not integrated. When the true Spiritual Tests
come in lists two and three they are not able to pass them.
The most amazing thing is that even though they are falling from grace, and
corruption of the negative ego is happening on a massive scale, and they are
even tumbling down the mountain Spiritually because of this corruption of the
negative ego, they do not have the slightest awareness that they have fallen.
This is the extraordinary delusory nature of the mind and the negative ego.
They are in a negative hypnosis and realize it not. The main cause of this is
not because they are bad people, for there is no such thing. They just have
not received the proper psycho-spiritual training, before moving into such
positions of Spiritual Leadership and power. I have said this over and over
again and I will say it again. The world does not need more channels, it needs
more trained Spiritual Counselors and Teachers who can train large numbers of
people around the world how to master their mind, emotions, body, and
behavior, and most of all master the negative ego thought system and replace
it with the Christ / Buddha thought system. If this lesson is not learned all
Spiritual practices will ultimately become corrupted. This statement is not
meant as a judgement but just as a simple statement of truth. The negative ego
has infiltrated and contaminated religion. It also is to a great extent
infiltrating and contaminating the New Age Movement. Lightworkers must be
aware of this and have great Spiritual discernment within self and in regards
to others.
In conclusion, be Spiritually discerning as to the Spiritual Leaders,
Spiritual Teachers, Channels, Authors, Healers, and Spiritual Scientists you
work with. There are good ones out there. Make sure they are meeting the
"High Calling and True Mark" of a true Spiritual Master. The lesson
is not to be judgemental, but it is to be Spiritually discerning. This is a
Spiritual quality that needs to be much more developed in lightworkers.
In final conclusion my beloved readers, strive for the highest level you
can of "Integrated Spiritual Mastery and GOD Purity." It is indeed a
rare quality in this world. This chapter is meant to give you the "Divine
Blueprint" and roadmap of the Spiritual Tests you will face and need to
pass to truly become an "Integrated God Realized Being." Be
forewarned that the negative ego thought system is incredibly tricky,
slippery, and seductive. It is going to take a 100 percent effort on your
part, and you are going to have to claim and cultivate an enormous amount of
"Joyous Vigilance and True GOD Purity" to pass all of these
Spiritual Tests. Half the battle is having the Blueprint and knowing what the
Spiritual Tests are. My Beloved Readers, the rest is up to you. Do not settle
for false Gods and idol worship of such paltry gifts such as power, fame,
money, and sex. If certain things come to you, so be it, and thank GOD for it,
but do not make a false God out of these things. GOD has given you the
understanding and abilities to master and learn these lessons. All that is
required of you is great Spiritual focus and dedication. This chapter has been
written to make you aware of the Spiritual Tests that are present in your life
and that may be coming. This chapter has also been written to
"Spiritually Challenge" you in this moment, to dedicate your life
and every ounce of your energy on every level of your being, to become the
"Highest and Most Pure Integrated God Realized Being" you can, in
service of GOD on all levels, every moment of your life! This, my beloved
readers, is the "Noble Calling and Mission we have all Incarnated to
Fulfill!"
