The Gift Of An Epiphany

Epiphanies happen in very interesting ways. They can open doors to a greater awareness of your life and new levels of perception. They can be enticed by not being created on demand. It is part of our evolition as we expand our consciousness.

Aloha,

I'm Rev.

Cindy Paulus and I thought I'd talk about Epiphanies and Awakening.

The spiritual path is a long and very,

Very interesting one.

And once you are on it,

It takes you on a journey that you might not be able to quite always understand.

Because when you're seeking truth,

Truth can come in so many interesting ways that you might not have ever imagined.

And that's a gift.

But if you like to be in control,

And if you like to kind of direct your own course,

It might be a little hard to adjust to the fact that you have to be very open to things that will change your life.

Because when you are on the path,

Many things might change to help in your awakening.

Now,

Of course,

That depends on your attitude a lot.

If you don't like change,

It's like,

This is not a good thing.

But if you really understand what's behind the change,

If you really understand the glory,

The beauty,

The benefit that comes from that change,

Then you'll have to have a lot of faith and believe that this is really all part of what's going on is my growth and my spiritual awareness and what I'm on this path for.

It's an interesting one.

A lot of people get afraid of it.

I mean,

There are many people that would prefer just being in a class with teachers that tell you what to do.

That hasn't been my case ever.

But I have certainly had teachers,

But basically the teachers I've chosen have pointed me pretty much back to learning and going within and then learning in my life.

And that takes a lot of courage.

I think for me,

It's the only choice because you have to have that inner connection.

But of course,

The inner connection has to be to the highest source that you can connect to.

And that's not always something that you can put your hands on.

It may not be a material thing.

It may actually and often is something that comes from a higher level that can't be so easily defined.

And so then what happens then at that point if you accept,

Okay,

I'm going to be on this path.

And for me,

It's a mystical path.

And I trust in God and I trust in the path and I know that this is for the highest.

First of all,

You'd have to say,

What got you to that point?

And usually that is typically the experience of some enlightened meditation or maybe the feeling of the bliss that comes when you tune in to that amazing energy that is God.

And enough to basically sell you.

And it's not to sell you because there's no money involved.

But excuse me,

It's really a little more than money.

It's your life.

So you want to make sure you're following the highest path,

Right?

You're dedicating your life to it,

Right?

There are many people who will tell you they're spiritual teachers and they'll try to get you to sign up for whatever.

I mean,

I've seen some amazing things that are offered,

You know,

And some are very,

Very expensive.

I mean,

It's like,

Whoa,

Really people are paying that much money to be enlightened.

Okay.

And you know,

I'm not saying that there's not some benefit.

There's obviously something is a benefit that people wouldn't continue to dedicate so much time and money to it.

But the thing is you can,

If you're on the mystical path or a spiritual path of some sort,

Make an interconnection that will teach you very effectively because it goes through your soul.

You have a soul filter.

Do you understand that?

The soul filter.

The soul is your guide.

It's your director.

Your soul is there with you for a lifetime,

Right?

So that soul is there to aid in your path.

And your soul is really always there for your highest good and is aware oftentimes of more than what you might be aware of in your regular everyday life.

It's a wonderful thing.

I mean,

It really truly is quite amazing.

The soul can be with you for lifetime after lifetime after lifetime.

And your soul is really truly your true,

True self,

You know.

So it's a great connection to make and it's made,

You know,

In many ways,

But I find the best ways by meditating and being open to what and where you go in your meditation.

Now many people don't want to be taken out of what's in their life and the way they have control of their life.

So they will,

It doesn't mean they don't meditate,

But they just don't open that extra doorway up to their soul.

And so they might not want to be too influenced or too changed or too enlightened because it might mean giving up a lot to gain a lot,

Right?

You wouldn't give up a lot to gain nothing,

Right?

Maybe you would.

But the idea is that you give up a lot and you get more in return.

What's more though?

What is more to you?

I mean,

To me,

You know,

That was a decision I made at a very young age to meditate and dedicate myself to the highest,

To light and love and to God.

But it's a long,

Long,

Long,

Long journey and it can go on lifetime after lifetime.

So it isn't even just one lifetime sometimes.

It's a very long journey to be attuned to your soul and to follow that highest purpose that you have while you're here on earth.

And it continues on after you die.

You know,

There's more to the journey than just this life.

You know,

It goes on to higher levels as well.

And that's also obviously where there's a lot more light that's coming in.

So when you attune to this wonderful gift of dedicating yourself to the highest,

It's good to,

In meditation,

Allow yourself to go deeper and deeper and to have awakenings,

To have epiphanies.

So let's just take some time and just let's open ourselves up to the possibility of epiphanies and what epiphanies are and what they can bring.

So allow yourself to be still and comfortable and just be aware of your breathing,

Breathing in and checking your body out and just aligning everything,

Making sure that you feel aligned and good from your head down to your base of your spine,

Down to your toes,

Breathing in and expanding your awareness of your body with each breath.

How do you feel?

Sense some things that might have been buried by you because you didn't want to deal with them when you're busy.

Just allow your body to speak to you here while you're still and sitting and aware and listening.

Ah,

I feel that in my neck.

I feel stuff going on there and my base of my spine and what comes to you.

Let yourself be aware.

What are you aware of when you're just here still and breathing?

And allow that to expand your body awareness.

Allow it to expand into your mind energy and where your state of mind is.

Where is that state?

Where is that state of mind?

And we do that,

Of course,

By allowing our stillness and quietness to open our mind up to speak to us and we honor our mind.

Breathing in and holding your breath and breathing out,

Relaxing,

Feeling good,

Breathing in.

And what are you aware of in your mind?

Just allow your mind to be still and okay.

Just be okay with your body,

With your breathing in and now expanding beyond your body and your mind to your soul level.

And allow and ask your soul to be present with you here and now.

Breathing in the soul's pure energy of light.

Being and bathing in that wonderful energy of your soul and let it expand throughout your entire beingness,

Your body,

Your mind,

Your energy field.

Ah,

Welcome the soul right there with you right now and thank the soul for being present and being with you and being your guide for so long.

And now ask your soul any question you'd like.

If you have a soulful question,

A question of your soul about your life's path or what you should do or your direction or what you should be like,

Allow your soul to speak to you.

Taking that deep journey to the light of your soul.

Being grateful,

So grateful for that energy.

Now let's allow our soul to connect with the soul's source of energy.

Where does your soul's source of energy lie?

Deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep,

Deep inside is that connection.

Connection that your soul has to God.

Connect with that wonderful source of energy.

Allow it to expand your consciousness.

To be infused with the highest light and the source of all love.

Breathe that light and that love in.

Absorbing it and allowing it to restore and renew and regenerate all of you.

Your body,

Your mind,

Your emotions,

Your heart,

Your soul.

And ask your soul to give you any messages that might come as you slowly come out of meditation.

Allow yourself that space and time and trust and guidance that your soul can offer to you.

It's a wonderful gift.

It's a wonderful gift to be able to be guided and directed by your soul's energy.

Breathing in,

Thanking yourself for being present in this beautiful energy of light and love.

And I bow to you in gratitude and I thank you for being here with me now.

God bless you.
