Family

There are two old sayings that express just about everything I am thinking about, and want to share with you today. “You don’t miss your water until your well runs dry.” and “You don’t realize what you have until you have lost it.”

Family is one of the most precious gifts we are given throughout our entire lifetime. It is of the utmost importance that we fully comprehend that the gift of family is not isolated only to our biological family members. For various reasons, many of us do not know our biological family members. However, even though that is a part of some people’s reality, the fact remains that they still can have family. A family is defined by the personal relationships people have between each other. I like this definition of family the best. Family: a relationship people have with each other that causes them to relate to, and treat each other with a special loyalty and intimacy. When most think of intimacy, they think of having a sexual relationship. However, to be intimate with someone is simply to have a close personal relationship with him or her, it does not have to be sexual. If we do not and cannot have and intimate relationship with biological family members, that kind of relationship is available to us with many other people we come to know. GREAT SPIRIT provides us with everything we need to live a spiritually balanced healthy and productive life. Part of the equation of living a spiritual balanced healthy and productive life is relating to others as family; also the tangible act of sharing Unconditional Love with others as family members. If we fall short of that mark, it is only because of the choices we have made in life. Be assured that it has absolutely nothing to do with lack, because we are offered a multitude of opportunities on a daily bases. Abundance of every kind is part of our natural birthright.

If we are fortunate enough to have our biological family, we most definitely should honor, take advantage of, and maintain that precious gift/relationship. We must do everything that we can within our power to make our family relationships work. Sometimes that may have to be done long distance because of certain situations. If you have experienced emotional or physical abuse from a family member, it may not be advisable to try to resurrect and maintain a family relationship in person initially. However, that is not to say that you should not try to develop a long distance relationship with them. If done properly, starting a long distance relationship with an abusive family member can be very healing for both individuals. If nothing else, in doing so, you release yourself from the emotional bondage and pain cause by that negative out of balance relationship, and you offer them the same healing process and redemption. Forgiveness and Unconditional Love are the keys that open the doors to the process of healing, reconciliation, total transformation, and spiritual restoration in such out of balance situations. Most of the time, the problems experienced between family members are not as severe as that, they are not as bad as we believe they are, because left unmonitored our minds can run away with our imagination and create all kinds of scenarios that are unreal. In most cases, we will actually see that which separates us are minor issues when viewed through our clear rational vision, because it is no longer obstructed by our emotions, pride, and outright unreasonable stubbornness. We need to put our emotions aside and allow Unconditional Love to work its delightful wonders. My favorite saying that is known worldwide says it all. “Love Conquers All!” Period, I rest my case.

If you still have both or one parent living, you should give them all of the Unconditional Love that you can, and as much time as you possibly can as well. If you do not do that, I can guarantee you that you will regret it one day when they have made transition from this physical plane. When they make transition, it is to late to physically Love them as family. However, even in such a situation, it is never too late to rectify problems, and situations experienced between you, them, and others. That is so because everything, absolutely everything is energy including conflict, also because we are eternal Spiritual Beings and not the extremely limited human beings that we identify with so closely most of the time. We can always reach out through the Spiritual Plane and heal all manner of emotional and spiritual wounds. Moreover, if we have the opportunity to do so in the here and now, why wait until later and only experience that joy in a limited and temporary way? We can experience the joy of family on many different planes of existence in the here and now, and eternally if we act appropriately. Sometimes all it takes is simply recognizing that others have need of receive our Love unconditionally just as much as we need to receive their Love unconditionally. Therefore, it is our duty, privilege, and delightful honor to share our Love with others unconditionally. The key is always offering Love unconditionally, offering Love with no strings attached. All we have to do to accomplished receiving the joy experienced in a Loving family relationship is, simply subduing our oversized self-pride and ego, and start with sharing a small amount of our time and Unconditional Love with our family on a consistent basis.

I regretted the transition of my father because I did not spend as much time with him in his last days as I should have because I was so wrapped up in my ex-wife, my family, and the church I was involved with at the time. My Dad was and still is my hero, role model, and my best friend. I missed a very important special sacred time and opportunity, because I was caught up in what I thought I needed, and because I was caught up in that which was self-serving, because I did not understand the Divine Principle of Oneness at that time. We are all one, what affect one in a positive or negative way, affects all likewise. It is very easy to miss the mark, even with the ones you Love the most in life, especially when we loose our spiritual focus, because that is when we see ourselves as individuals, even an island is connected to the rest of the land formations of the world. An island looks like it stands all-alone. However, and island is connected to all of the land formations of the world, we just cannot see it because the connection is so deep in the sea. There is a saying; “No man is an island, no man stands alone.” A man or woman can be like an island and seem like they stand-alone, however, they are connected deep down in the ocean of Spiritual Reality. That is why I am dropping you this friendly and most important reminder. Love unconditionally, and show as much respect and gratitude to your family as you possibly can.

We must release all of our differences and allow ourselves to carry out that which we are here to do, Love our family members, everyone, and everything else unconditionally. In addition, as I said earlier, if need be, that can be done long distance. The most important thing is that we do it, and if we are not doing it, we had better get started now. No matter what issues we may have with our parents and no matter what issue our parents may have with us, we owe our Unconditional Love to them for allowing us to the opportunity to enter this physical plane through them. So in essence, we literally owe our lives to our parents, because without them, we would not be here right now as we are in physical form. So lets allow Love to work its Wonder Working Powers on, in, and through our Precious Families and us. That is one way we can help turn this entire world around. The world is in the condition that it is today because most are missing the Divine Energy of Unconditional Love in their lives from their families, others, and themselves. One major way of learning how to Love, is through the act of being loved unconditionally by someone. Let us all join in and teach someone how to Love. Love others unconditionally and become a teacher of Love.

Because I Am Love, I Share My Love With You Unconditionally and Eternally!

A New Day ~ A New Way

A New Day ~ A New Way

I have reached the following conclusion. As of this day, I will no longer celebrate birthdays, and neither will I celebrate holidays as I have in the past. On this, the first day of the year of 2011, I Baba-Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala, have reached a decision based on a very strong inner conviction and knowing. I should and will celebrate and honor every single day of my life, with everything that is within me, as if it were a Holy Day and the last day of my life. I pledge to The DIVINE to welcome every day for exactly what it is, a New Day, a New Beginning, a Resurrection, and the Now, which is all there truly is. Also, I want to make it absolutely clear, that in no way am I saying that everyone should do as I am doing, and not celebrate birthdays and holidays. Everyone should and must follow the path that they feel is right for them. Everyone must follow their heart and especially what they believe SPIRIT is guiding them to do. I honor and respect every individual choice, even those choices that are different from mine. Each and every day that I awake from my sacred sleep, I resurrect anew, I am born again. Each new day is a Sacred Journey of Gratitude and a daily resurrection from the ashes of the past, just like the Phoenix rising from the ashes of death, which is my daily destiny as long as I exist in physical form.

My prayer for my two-legged clan is this. I pray that more of my sisters and brothers of the hu-man race will open up completely to, and yield wholeheartedly to, the blessings of life we are gifted with on a daily basis, and we will celebrate with great gratitude and vigor, the awesome gift of life. I also pray that we will stop judging others and ourselves by the amount of material possessions we accumulate, and we will start to see the abundant wealth that is generated within and through the Magnificent Transformational Power of Unconditional Love that resides within our very own Spirit. There is no greater wealth than what is found within the Sacred Eternal Energy of Unconditional Love. Unconditional Love is the energy of The DIVINE that created and sustains all things.

I believe to say a new day and a new way is not exactly accurate. However, to those of us who have not been practicing this reality it is new. I believe that celebrating each day of our lives in this way is exactly the way life is designed to be lived, by every single individual human being. Every single moment, and every single day is full of the blessing of Unconditional Love. I believe that Unconditional Love is the only thing that is holding this entire creation we know as the physical realm together. Without Unconditional Love, there would be no you or me, and there would likewise be no physical plane. Simply because of that fact alone, we should show daily gratitude for the daily blessing of Unconditional Love, as well as for our daily blessing of life. As for me, showing gratitude and celebrating something or someone are one in the same.

Today is January 9, 2011; I was born on January 9, 1954. I prefer to say that January 9, 1954 is my Earthday, the day I physically entered into this dense physical realm through the Sacred Gates of Heaven. In 1999, I wrote about heaven, and it’s gates in what I entitled, Sacred Woman – A Sacred Man’s Perspective.

SACRED WOMB-MAN, your womb is our Heavenly Realm. Your womb is the place where human life is conceived, Loved, and nurtured. Your womb is also the Divine place where our physical body takes on its form, and we begin the ongoing process of Total Spiritual Re-Call, our Spiritual Awakening. Within heaven, which is your womb, is also the Divine place were our temporary physical vessel is implanted with our true nature, our Eternal Spirit of Love.

I believe that our first physical heaven is within our mother’s womb, the place of our Sacred physical development. Because of that divine reality, we should always respect and honor all of our beloved Sacred Women. In addition, since we come from such a Sacred Source that in turn makes us all Sacred as well. Therefore, we should respect and honor all human life for what it is, Sacred and Spiritual. We should likewise honor every form of creation, it all comes from and is one with The DIVINE.

We have been duped to believe that we are less than what we truly are, and we are imperfect, and that everything good is outside of ourselves. In addition, we are taught that sacred times and sacred things only exist at certain times, which is not so at all, every moment of our existence her on Earth Mother is Sacred. Energy wise, everything that we do should be a part of our Sacred State of Being. However, that is only possible if we are in the right Spiritual frame of mind. That is why the lies and deception of our Spiritual disconnect and separation is so devastating to our existence during this physical manifestation, in this physical realm. We must shake ourselves and wake ourselves from this deceptive sleep of separation. Beloved, there is, never has been, and never will be such a separation. If it were possible for such a separation, we would cease to exist all together. It is absolutely impossible for anyone or anything to exist outside of the Sacred Spiritual Realm of Perfection. Everything that we see and experience in the here and now, is a part of SPIRIT. The icing on the cake is this, if everything is a Sacred Part of SPIRIT, everything is a part of perfection personified.

We have been tricked into limiting just about everything that is good, and everything that empowers us. That is done by those who are sent her to teach and test us. Remember, everything comes from, and is a part of, Sacred Perfection, a part of SPIRIT. Therefore, that means that everything is in Divine Order, and everything is a part of the Sacred Orchestration, and the Sacred Melody of GREAT SPIRIT. In perfect harmony with that Sacred Oneness, is our Sacred Communion with SPIRIT, and our Sacred Communion with SPIRIT must be continual, not just a few fleeting moments a day, or one day out of a week.

There is absolutely no existence whatsoever, outside of our connection and oneness with GREAT SPIRIT. Since our connection to and oneness with SPIRIT is our only true reality, we must live in and through that Sacred Connection and Divine Consciousness. Religion is not what it is made out to be, just as a review of a book is not the book, no matter how comprehensive the review may be. What are religions? Religions are only limited personal reviews of True Spirituality; religions are only human interpretations of what one person, or a group of people, think SPIRIT is. To be totally open and honest with you, religions are incomplete, and some are intentionally deceptive, and that which is incomplete and deceptive will never guide us to the proper destination. Without ceasing, we must practice True Spirituality. Our foundation during this sojourn through the physical plane must be constructed totally of that which is Spiritual. So, Saturday, Sunday or any other day is not adequate for our time of acknowledging and honoring SPIRIT. We must acknowledge and honor SPIRIT throughout every day, we are responsible to do such, each and every single day of our lives.

I remember once being told by someone I loved with all of my heart and soul, that I need to get real. All of the Spiritual stuff, the prayer and meditation you are doing will not get you a job or pay your bills. I agree that we cannot sit, pray, and meditate all day long and do nothing else and expect our physical needs to be met. However, we cannot expect our physical needs to be met, if we do not have perfect balance between that which is Spiritual, and that which is physical. Our true self who is our Higher Self is total Spirit. However, while we are in this temporal physical state of being, we must have balance between our higher nature, which is Spiritual, and our lower nature, which is physical. If we negate or belittle either one, we will find ourselves in big trouble.

I have entitled these scripted words, A New Day ~ A New Way. Actually, it is A New Day, however it is not A New Way. The way we are called to live life here on this physical plane has never changed and will never change. It is the way we have chosen to live life here on this physical plane that must change. We have been living life out of balance, living outside of the perfect Blue Print of Abundant Life. However, not to worry, resurrection and restoration are Spiritual Gifts we have been given for such a time as this. We must swallow our pride, bury our ego, re-focus, and re-commit ourselves to following and doing that which we are eternally called to follow and do. The beginning of this journey starts with recognizing our Oneness with SPIRIT and the Whole of Creation, and recognizing the reality that we are Perfect Spiritual Beings, that are going through a temporary physical experience we call and know as life.

Sometimes things may seem so difficult that we may think, what is the use, it is impossible to correct all of the wrongs in our life and the world. That is not how it is. Nothing is to difficult to deal with, because we have the Ultimate Power of powers, a power that conquers all, you and I have the All Powerful Conquering Power of Unconditional Love. It is said that Love conquers all, and I am here to tell you from experience, that Love does conquer all. Many are coming to know this very important reality. However, they are still not using the conquering power of Love to its fullest degree. Many of us have yet to apply the conquering power of Love to our lives. Many of us have become proficient in limiting and forgetting about our needs. Sometimes that is due to the faulty program we have allowed to run in the background call unworthiness, which is linked to the lie of original sin, you know the story of being created a sinner. We are taught that we where created by GOD, which is PERFECTION ITSELF. Yet, we are taught that we are an imperfect creation that is full of imperfection, or in other words, we are a creation that is full of sin. How can an Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnificent CREATOR create something that is imperfect? That is outrageously impossible. Therefore, our first step is to consciously enter into the Divine Realm and Reality that SPIRIT is our Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnificent CREATOR. Because of that Divine Realm and Reality, that makes us one SPIRIT’, that means that we are a Perfect Creation indeed.

Therefore, as for the whole of creation and me, consciously and motivationally it is definitely

FROM WITHIN THE SPIRIT of

Baba Kundi Ma`at-Shambhala

Greetings Beloved,

I pray that in the Precious Now Moment that we have been blessed with by The DIVINE, that we will allow the Universe to freely channel to us everything that has already been provided for us since before the beginning of time. It is time that we allow that which we may in error still interpret as needs, desires, and that which we pray and hope for, that which we still think of as being almost impossible or miraculous to be a part of our amazing existence, in order that we can live life as we are called to by The DIVINE. Additionally, we will share that which we posses, especially the abundance of Unconditional Love that is planted deep within us by The DIVINE within our Spirit with everyone and everything that we come in contact with. In addition, when we come in contact with others who have issues and a need to make changes in their life, that we take that as a sign to examine ourselves and not time to point a finger at them, because we know that they are, and we are all simply reflections of each other. We are one in the same; we are all in the same boat of life together, we are all members of the same body. That means if one is in need of help, we all are in need of help.

WOMAN, MAN KNOW THYSELF!

The most important thing we can do in the present moment of this lifetime is open up completely to The DIVINE so that we know our True Self, which mean to come to know our Spiritual Self, our Higher Self. For you and I to know who we truly are would answer every single question of this lifetime. Knowing who we are puts us smack dab in the middle of our personal Paradise, reveals to us our very own piece of heaven right here on earth. Knowing who we truly are produces so much Unconditional Love, Joy, and Sacred Energy within our Spirit and total being, that our reality will be transformed all around us in the twinkling of an eye. To truly know ourselves awakens us to the Divine Truth that we are who some call Supernatural-beings. However, in true reality, every human being is a Supernatural-being. To know thyself, is to be true to oneself. To be true to oneself, is to be complete and whole Spiritually, mentally, emotionally, and physically. To be whole, is to be consciously one with DIVINE UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE. In ancient times, Know Thyself was written over the Temple doors in Egypt, it was also written over some of the Temple doors in Greece. It is a Divine charge given to the whole of humanity by The DIVINE.

Now that we have entered the age of enlightenment, we have entered the age where everything is being brought into the True Light of Divine Understanding. We must face ourselves and take full responsibility for our every thought, word, and action. We cannot afford to be content having other people and outside energies lead us around and control us. It is time to wipe the sleep from our eyes and see the Glory of The DIVINE that is in us, as well as all around us in abundance. You and I are a Divine Creation. Why is that so? That is so because you and I are not made in the image and likeness of DIVINE ONENESS (MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD) we are much greater then that, you and I Are One with DIVINE ONENESS (MOTHER/FATHER GODDESS/GOD).

We must constantly remind ourselves that we are Divine Beings in every way because we are Spiritual Beings. If we fail to do that, we fall deeper and deeper into the illusion of the abyss of despair and hopelessness that permeates the so many people in the world today. You and I are what we have been looking for, as the hope of this world. Once you, I, and everyone else are able to see what we can do when we come to truly know who we are, Know Thyself, we will seek out what we possess within our very own Spirit, and come to know True Spiritual Reality once again, in the same way that we have eternally known True Spiritual Reality.

In the beginning of our transformation of coming to know ourselves, it will be a little challenging, that is due to the old faulty programs we have been following for so many lifetimes. At times, we may slip into some of our old beliefs, old ways of doing things, and old ways of thinking, simply because of habit, that is why we must remain ever conscious of our every thought, word, and action. When we slip, we must not get discouraged, because living the way that we have been living for so long it is a natural occurrence to slip a little as we get acquainted with our True Reality. When we have done something repeatedly for such a long period, we tend to move into the realm of what could be labeled life’s autopilot. If we are totally committed to truly knowing ourselves and being all that we are created to be, everything that is counterfeit, and that which is not supposed to be a part of our experience here will pass away, and everything will yield to Divine Will and Divine Order.

We are not in this experience called life all alone. DIVINE UNIVERSAL INTELLIGENCE is with us eternally. When we slip a little, all we have to do is acknowledge our mistake, stand tall with our head up, and move forward once again following the direction of SPIRIT.
