A very big aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Palos.
And I thought I'd talk a little bit today about the miracle of creation.
And the fact that this miracle of creation is so overwhelming.
Unbelievably precious.
That sometimes we don't really know how.
To integrate it into our lives,
To actually put it to work in a way that makes it So expressive.
And able to absorb that miracle and live in that presence of the miracle.
Now,
I have been meditating most of my life and I find that in meditation,
It's possible.
To be still and go within.
Experience once we still our minds.
Allow that inner connection to be.
Open.
We can experience that miracle.
That precious miracle of creation.
However,
Putting it to work.
In an everyday situation.
Is really quite an interesting process and I have.
Found that for me,
I can do it sometimes through writing.
I can also do it sometimes with music,
Observations of what's going on,
Perhaps in a movie,
And And then there's the interpretation and how,
Again,
We use that,
What we get in those states.
The most important and difficult part that I have always had is trying to communicate this.
Trying to share that gift in a way that will inspire someone to also be in that same state.
Now,
I have studied many,
Many great masters and teachers.
And I have seen how some of the amazing teachers of throughout time.
Have dedicated their life to trying to share.
That experience.
And many of them had books written about what they did.
And many of them have religions that have been started on what they began,
And still.
It's just something that we can read,
And does it really allow?
That opening for us to experience what they're talking about.
And through all of this journey,
I find the only way to really do that.
Is to absorb and go into meditation and to open up your consciousness and to believe enough and have enough faith to go within.
And be able to reach that higher state of consciousness,
That illumination.
That is truly life changing.
Now,
The interesting thing about this experience is that you can put a lot of groundwork into it and there can be many people who actually have Oh,
Three-day sessions or week-long sessions,
Or we'll tell you to listen to their podcasts about it.
But the thing is,
It's still.
Something you personally have to be open to experiencing yourself.
So you can be inspired.
And that's such a gift to be inspired.
But that step you take,
You have to be ready for.
That step you take where you can actually allow yourself to trust enough on that inner presence and that connection you have to that higher self and to God to actually be open to receiving that energy that you can then put to work.
In your life and communicate and understand and let it change you enough to take that next step.
Now in some of the higher teachings they say there are many levels of consciousness and And Ways of Awakening,
There's,
You know,
Initiations of sorts,
A higher initiation.
Many levels.
And from what I've read and studied over the years is that many of us are in the third level of experiencing that initiation.
But there's many more.
There's a fourth,
Fifth,
And more.
And as time goes on,
As we get more inspired,
And as more people are reaching this,
We are starting to see people evolve into the next level of initiation and awareness.
This is a very interesting process because what you have to do is be willing to let go of the personality.
You have to be willing to let go of the ego.
You have to be willing enough to trust that higher energy that comes from the source.
And a lot of the teachers talked about this.
Some of it were out like saying that,
And many just did it symbolically.
In many words along the way.
But the bottom line is it's up to you.
You have to make that choice.
You have to have that faith.
You have to be ready.
To take that step,
And it's an interesting journey.
It's a lifetime journey.
And it doesn't end with this life.
It goes on.
It goes on and on,
And I really believe that.
It goes on in many,
Many levels and it's an amazing journey that we have to take and it takes a lot of faith.
It takes a lot of of that inner connection.
To the highest source to be able to go on that inner journey.
And all anyone can do is inspire you or try to inspire you or encourage you enough.
To do that,
Do that in your meditation,
To go within.
And many times it'll happen even outside of meditation where you'll have an illumination experience of cosmic consciousness.
There's been many books and many teachers who have written about this,
Where that cosmic consciousness comes into a person and they experience that amazing light that is a life-changing event for them.
But it does happen.
It does happen.
You can understand what some of the great poets and the great teachers throughout time were really talking about.
From a higher perspective and a higher level.
It only happens when you really are ready and open for it.
And it's a connection that will happen in time.
And the reason I'm talking about this is because you might just be getting a sense of that.
Maybe you already are thinking about this.
Maybe you are ready to let go of the ego and let God be in control.
It's an amazing journey and I can't say anything except when you're ready,
You will know and you can understand things in a different and a new and a wonderful way.
And if you're not ready,
That's fine too,
Because it's all up to your soul and the higher part of you that knows when you're ready.
And I thank you for taking the time to.
Listen.
And I thank your soul.
For being open to hearing what I'm trying to say.
My heart to you.
In a bowel of.
Deepest gratitude.
Deepest appreciation.
Deepest understanding and love.
And I thank you so much for listening.
God bless you always.
