Becoming a Conscious human Being little by little
I am getting to be aware of my spiritual self. I am increasing my awareness little by little in bite size. This is what Bite Size Awareness is all about. It is about consciousness; becoming aware of our divine Consciousness; helping us focus our attention from the physical to the spiritual. Since it is the spirit that gives life and sustains life; since everything we do and everything we are rest on the sprit; it is therefore wise for us to seek the spirit or become aware of it.
Easier say than done
You have been living your life in a mold; people perceive you as such and you cannot escape their thoughts life therefore God says: “Go out from your people to a land that I will show you” why God had to uproot Abraham from his land you may ask? It is because he could not escape the fixation of the thoughts of his people. They were continuously making him what he was not. It is hard enough for us to fight against our own self from making us what we are not less fighting others...
All of my life, I want to bridge the gap that exist between the people of the Third World with those of the industrial world. I want to help those that are lagging behind catch up with those that are far ahead. I want to help them make the transition from a third world reality to an accelerate and prosperous reality. I want to increase their spiritual awareness, help quicken them so that they can become more cognizant of their environments. I want them to be sharp and focus so that reality does not escape them. There is a certain naivety and a child like ignorance associated with people of the Third World, a lethargic kind of disposition even spreading out to their languages, a kind of mental laziness that make them more sluggish and less responsive to the needs of the world around them. As a result they are producing third rated world, misfit disorderly and chaotic world, call the Third World.
The day of such disposition of soul and spirit shall be no more. “With His fan in his hands, he shall separate the wheat from the chaff, but the chaff he will consume with unquenchable fire” ; which means that he will quicken you, clean you up, take off from you all unwanted, undesirable traits and make you worthy of the spirit. Christ within you is the hope of glory. How do you have Christ in you? Well it is an awareness that you need to develop. You need to shift your attention to the Christ within you. Jesus himself told us how. First you must dwell in His words. That is in his words you will find a life style. This is the life style he prescribed for us to fallow. This life style is the path to develop your awareness of Him in you. “By that they will know that you are my disciples” By fallowing the teachings of Jesus Christ, do as he says, apply his teachings in your daily life; you are developing your spiritual awareness. Here are the teachings of Jesus Christ literally. “Love God with all of your heart and believe in the one he sent, Jesus Christ. Treat others as you would like others to treat you. Turn the other cheek that is avoiding heads on collision; seek alternatives to resolve your conflicts. Be like the Good Samaritan, be generous and give to others in need. Be forgiven that is forgive others who trespasses against you seven time seven. Deny yourself that is to stop boasting your ego, stepping on others to elevate yourself that is consuming the fruit of the knowledge of good and evil, placing yourself above your fellow human being, separating yourself from them and from God. Embrace your humanity, the short coming and weaknesses of your fellow human beings that is to take up your cross. Self sacrifice is the way of the universe. “Every man must be willing to give his life as a willing sacrifice for other man. This is the path of the spirit; it is in the life style that you live. “I am the way and the life; I am the life and the light” No one come to God but by Me. You cannot find God who is spirit without first finding the spirit Christ in you. You cannot be in the light for without the spirit there is no light within you. You are in darkness doing bidding for the kingdom of darkness. “For that He came to undo the works of darkness, to destroy the works of the devil” The only way that you can truly say” Now is the darkness cast out, the ruler of the darkness of this world cast out” it is for you to live the life style that will lead you to the spirit within; apart of which God cannot do anything for you.
e came, to undo the works of darkness, to destroy the works of the devil” The only way that you can say truly “
I am a conscious being
“God is lavishing, unfailing abundance, the Substance of the universe. This unfailing abundance is individualized in me. I am conscious of the inner presence of my lavishing abundance. I am conscious of the constant activity of this Mind of infinite Prosperity. “Greater He that is in me than he that is in the world” Through my consciousness of this Christ within is my source; I cast all of my cares upon Him. I draw into my mind and feeling nature the very substance of spirit. “It is not by might nor by power but by My spirit says the Lord”. Whatever God is doing or will do; it is through His spirit. Everything we do and everything we are rest on the spirit. It is the spirit that gives life. “This substance is my supply thus my consciousness of the Presence of God within me is my supply”. It requires consciousness to make the shift from poverty to prosperity. You need to be fully aware of who and what you are and your connection to God. I can say plainly that the prerequisite for abundance is knowing the source of abundance and your position with that source. That source is God and god is spirit. “After me shall come One who will baptize you with spirit and fire” it requires the spirit to quicken you and empower you to prosper. Since He, Christ is the one who will baptize you with spirit and fire. “I come so that you may have life and partake in the abundance of life” if Jesus is the baptizer of the spirit and if it is the spirit that gives life and make you a partaker in the abundance of life; it would make sense to deduce that our priority in life is for us to develop our spiritual awareness. That is to be conscious of the life giving spirit inside of us. The key to prosperity; the key to make the transition from poverty to prosperity is for us to change our focus from the supply to the source.
As it is always in our quest for riches or to get out of poverty we automatically focus on money. Since money is the universal exchange for goods and services, it seems natural for us to focus our attention on money. But money is not your supply. “No person, place or condition is my supply. My awareness, understanding and knowledge of the all providing activity of the divine Mind within is my supply my consciousness of the truth is unlimited; therefore my supply is unlimited. We must shift our attention to the source. It is said that attention made the world; what is attention therefore. Attention is our awareness. Reality as we perceive it is an awareness. Reality does not exist unless we are aware of it. Reality as we perceive it is a direct result of our attention therefore if we focus our attention on the source we shall surely get the result. Like cause and effect, action and reaction; we must first focus our attention on the cause to get the effect. If money is the effect that we are looking for; it makes sense for us to focus our attention on the cause. We need to focus our attention on the action; the person actuating the action. I have money; because money is my essence; the source of money lives inside of me.
The challenge for us is two fold first to get out of the mold and redirect our attention on the cause; secondly it is for us to become aware of the source of our invisible supply.
Hence faith comes. “A man has to believe. Having to believe is a cinch says the character Don Juan in Carlos Castaneda Journey to Ixland. Faith said St. Paul the apostle is the substance of things unseen. Though we don’t see God, we must strive to become aware of His Presence for he is the Lavishing, unfailing abundance; the substance of the universe. “Faith is the evidence of things unseen” “We are a feeling, we are an awareness said Don Juan; we must practice our awareness, develop our feeling for the presence of the Divine within us.
If attention is what makes the world then if we direct our attention on the divine in us which is the source of unfailing abundance therefore we should have a life of abundance. We need to tap in the source; we need no third party to help us except the one assigned by God Jesus Christ. He is the Christ within
