The loving me sees the loving you.
Hi,
Welcome to another talk about spiritual development and rising to your highest self.
My name is John Keppel and I will be your teacher for the next short while.
These talks are contemplative talks to open your mind and heart and to help keep them open as time moves on.
They're meant to connect you to something deeper inside of yourself that can put you in touch with the ultimate self of the world in which we all share.
Inside at the deepest levels we are all one and knowing this in our everyday life helps us to see more clearly our impact on the world around us and to process experiences as they happen in real time and later as reflection.
These talks are a part of a more comprehensive spiritual practice that may include activities such as affirmations,
Prayers,
Visualizations,
Various manifesting techniques,
Journaling,
Mindfulness practices,
And much more that help us to realize our full potential and connect with our highest selves in the world as our lives are lived.
Let's begin.
The emphasis in this work is placed on the here and now such that we are initiated to the eternal and infinite now moment that we all share by being alive.
The work here helps us to understand this through learning from teachers like Eckhart Tolle and Jon Kabat-Zinn and many,
Many others.
The work goes further,
However,
Into newer realms of being which helps us to enact our lives more fully and live our greatest lives every day.
Just hearing about this should very much spark some connections in your mind and heart about what you love in life and why you're even listening to a teaching like this.
We all have a wonderful path set for us through the universal mind and it is up to us to tune into that pathway.
These talks help us to do just that.
Listen with your whole heart.
Listen to that gentle intuition within yourself that will give you inklings of what it is you need to do next.
Tap into that vibratory structure of the entire cosmos that will connect you to your absolute birthright as a fully realized human being right now,
Here on earth,
In love with the truest expression of yourself as your life is lived.
You see,
It matters to take time to think about these things,
To be reminded of them,
To direct energy and thought towards them.
If you can find some positive affirmations that you can listen to,
To help calibrate and set your habitual mind into that resonant frequency of knowing that you are everything that you need to be right here in this moment of consciousness,
Do that.
Learn eventually to make up your own affirmations and keep feeding your mind and heart and soul these gentle reminders of who it is you are and what it is you came here to earth to do.
And beyond all else,
Remind yourself to simply be who you are.
It may sound funny that we have to remind ourselves to simply be,
But as the mind can sometimes get caught up in mental chatter and spiral off into daydreams,
It is helpful to remind ourselves consciously until this sense of reminding becomes second nature and begins to happen automatically in a sustained way.
At the beginning it will take a lot of time and energy to keep up the reminders whether through journaling or doing meditations or any of the other practices that we have discussed.
Eventually though,
These teachings will get incorporated into your subconscious and you will begin to operate from a new level of awareness and practical magic connecting to the spiritual reality of life itself as the innate and natural being you were born to be.
This self-realization is everything and is why we are here truly.
Life itself simply gives us a framework in which to explore and reveal our true nature.
Stay curious about life and about yourself.
It can be a little frightening to do this,
But have courage that just as with a caterpillar becoming a butterfly,
There may be some time of transition where everything seems to be in flux and changing,
Sometimes radically,
So that you can become your fullest expression as the universe has made you.
Trust in how the universe has made you.
Trust in that power that is bigger than you,
Bigger than your very own thoughts of yourself.
You are there fully at the center of it all,
But there is yet something bigger moving through you.
Begin to learn to let that something bigger through.
Begin to learn to allow for all of the majesty of the awe-filled universe to flow through you and awaken to a capacity that may have seemed something of which only dreams could establish just years or even months ago.
The magic that is us is real,
And the more that we tap into that realization with our understanding,
With our mind and heart,
The more it can completely manifest in our lives.
Learning in this way through a talk like this helps to make those connections in our mind and even in our subconscious.
We begin to make the connections necessary to transform into our highest selves and become who it is we were made to be.
Our potential is vast,
And is something that is ever-growing and changing as life unfolds.
Be not afraid of this awesome power as it moves through you.
Or if fear does arrive,
Allow it to come and go freely,
And do not get caught up in it.
It is just a remnant,
A by-product of the ego which is from a limited perspective as a result of the confusion illusion from the appearance of our conditioned experience.
Trust that there is something bigger going on,
And it will begin to reveal itself through your experience.
This concludes our lesson for today.
Thank you so much for joining me.
Namaste.
I look forward to seeing you in our next lesson together.
Take care.
