Be master of your inner world (Patanjali, 1)

Patanjali “The only worthwhile accomplishments are not those we achieve outwardly, but the victories we win over ourselves.” 

The only true victory of a man is when he conquers himself. Patanjali has proclaimed this to mankind  already a few thousand years ago and in the last century it is repeated in the west by Paramahansa Yogananda, the great Eastern yogi who has enriched the West with his eastern acquired knowledge and insights.
Man is a marvelous creature, full of dreams and insights and talents.
Specially wealthy countries in the world have become masters of the matter, of technique, of science, of human knowledge, of democratic developments.
This is a true achievement. The successes of mankind on practical, social and economic fields, made mankind recently believe the world was manageable.

The persistence of poverty in the world, unrest in a lot of countries, the environmental crisis and the economic crisis show mankind there is still a long way to go. Mankind could be helped by this ancient wisdom of Patanjali.

"The only worthwhile accomplishments are not those we achieve outwardly, but the victories we win over ourselves"
 
It is a spiritual law that the outer world more or less corresponds with the inner world.
God says simply this to you: when you should tackle the turmoil and chaos and confusion and limitations in your inner world, the outer world would certainly respond. Of course not directly because the relationship between the spiritual world and the material world, between the inner and outer world, between mind and body is a complex one and is depending on many factors.

Victory of the inner world? What can that be?
Why don’t you look around: people are generally spoken well dressed, well fed, well educated, well housed and well informed.
But at the same time you all are very much struggling with your attachments and addictions.

• Seniors who drink too much
• Children who have overweight
• Smokers who can not stop
• TV viewers going to bed tired after 6 hours a day watching passively, cluttered with advertisements and moderate programs
• Parents of children with two jobs, two cars, two holidays a year, who “are loosing oneselves”
• Overcrowded shopping centers and empty churches
• Economic growth as the only foundation of society
• The environment as the victim of this growth.

This rich and saturated outer world, silted up with luxury which has captured your heart, at the expense of the inner man, has had of course its day. We, in the spirit, are already seeing the dawning of a new day, but for you people the night is still ahead and to overcome.

Our advice is consider your inner self and look around and see the desperation of the vulnerable, the turmoil of the elderly, the powerlessness of the youth. The attachments, addictions and the despair resulting from this are controlling you more than you want to admit.
Create for yourself inner calm and silence and space and wisdom.

I would love to tell you "how much hope and future and happiness" is lying in this ancient wisdom of Patanjali, more relevant and necessary than ever.

My blessings to you all

Warning mankind against her selfishness (Tweet from God, 7)

"You all do wander through life superficially. Look around, see your fellow man? Do not pretend as if you're alone on the earth"

This tweet from You is fascinating. Would You like to comment on it?

Many people are denying the uncertain and dynamic world by behavior on the run. That is the subject of this tweet, and it relates to many people, not just to young ones, not just to you in the west, but to the rich in the rest of the world as well.

Know, that you all are exhibiting the same behavior as the rich did in the past, through out the centuries up until ancient times. But you are with so many now!

You exhibit behavior on the run, which is characterized by indifference, selfishness and losing oneselves in the pleasures of materialism. And when one flights, one walks away from something, and that is the suffering of others, both people and all of nature.

The great, unspeakable suffering of others, people with a confused mind, the lonely elderly, in eldery homes as well, the starving people in the world, the slum dwellers, refugees,  workers and peasants exploited by large corporations, the congested nature, the infinite tiling of your poor soil, the use of your cars as if they aren’t at the same time devouring and contaminating everything, the noise you’re causing in the poor world.

"You all do wander through life superficially. Look around, see your fellow man? Do not pretend as if you're alone on the earth"

How long do you shut yours eyes to the exploitation and negligence of the poor and the nature in the whole world?

Don’t you know then how

• The fruit from the third world is smeared with blood money of poor farmers
• The cheap meat in supermarkets cries about the suffering of her animals
• The cheap textile usually is made by low paid workers or child labor, and burdens seriously the environment
• You gasoline, and the ease using your car, is at the expense of the environment, the clean earth, the clean air
• Any toys, bicycle light with batteries, each blackberry, each luxury gadgets seriously contribute to the pollution of the earth
• Your holiday behavior with gasoline-guzzling planes contributes as well to the extinction of species
• Your children perish in the plastic toy crap
• The nature and its flora and fauna may have reached its limits for a century ago
• You all together have chosen a dead end ?

This is how We observe it.

And God does not want to scare you, but warn you, wake you up, and is asking you: don’t you have a bond with your environment, your fellow man, with nature, with the plants and animals?

You are a householder, who only cleans up his living room and neglects everything else in the house, so everything is dilapidating, rotting, decaying and the moment is coming even the clean and tidy living room will suffer the consequences of leaks , clogged ducts, short-circuit and tiles blown away by the storm.

"You all do wander through life superficially. Look around, see your fellow man? Do not pretend as if you're alone on the earth"

God tells you: you are closing your eyes, you behave yourselves as ostriches, you are running knowingly to the abyss.
And God tells you: the abyss will come absolutely, because even a child can realize this is not the right way.

Consult yourselves, because God has given you brains and a conscience and compassion and responsibility. Use it!

My blessings to you all

Young people and their smartphone friends (Tweet from God, 6)

“They say young people are too busy with their iPhones and twitter, but they opt for full-time link with their loved ones, the large family revisited!”

Would you like to explain Your tweet about young people and their smartphones?

Of course.
Young people, especially in the West, have a name for being individualistic and only concerned with their own pleasures. I see it differently.

Young people today are growing up in an exciting and changing environment. Everything is open, there are endless possibilities, they are free to choose for all kind of education and work and some even have money to travel a while. This is all nice and fun and better than the possibilities of their parents and grandparents. That is a fact. From this point of view they have more opportunities, more wealth, more choices.

At the same time the world has never been so pessimistic about the future, the environment, and the opportunities for mankind to overcome this all. Environmental disasters, earthquakes, forest fires, wars, potential conflicts and all the bad news worldwide, waving into any "living room", suggest young people have no future.
And of course young people do respond on this humanely: gloomy, perhaps resigned, despondent, boisterous, sometimes aggressive.
They respond as well in a individualistic way, sometimes selfishly and indifferently.
But they are extremely concerned, in every case deep down inside. That's what I observe.

"The youth of today" with their selfishness and their aggression and materialism, that picture is a one-sided and unjust image of the youth, especially cherished by older people.

"They say young people are too busy with their iPhones and twitter, but they opt for full-time link with their loved ones, large family revisited!"

But people who have regular contact with young people know better.
And God knows better, because God sees them in their hearts.
And even though I also see their attachments and modern addictions and their shortcomings, this all I let to pass. Her and know We do the positive perspective.

And one aspect of the heart feelings I want to discuss here.
With their smartphones young people have created a new social world, with their friends: the new large family, a youth village, where one is available for each other day and night, where one communicates with each other, joining each other, having fun, celebrating life and supporting and helping each other out of problems.
A wonderful new world of group power, group dynamics, new norms and values, a social control, which consists of respect, freedom, communication, openness and permanently available friendship.

Who wouldn’t like this?

On sexual addictions (Tweet from God, 5)

“Sex is beautiful, between people of the same sex as well, masturbation is beautiful, but your attachment and sometimes your addiction!”

I still find it intriguing that You are saying something about sex and masturbation. Could you elaborate a bit on this tweet from September 9?

Of course.
Sexuality, between people of the same sex as well or masturbation, are still surrounded with a bit of a taboo, even in the west. Let alone that God is talking about it. This is the time.

First of all, this is straight “out of My heart": sexuality is a beautiful and natural fact of life, which you people may enjoy. That’s the start of departure.
And with natural I am not referring to sexuality between two people of different sex, because it is natural as well if two people of the same sex have sex with each other, or if someone "is playing sexually with oneself" as you call it so nicely. Both activities are normal in nature as well . And although sexual behavior in nature is mostly aimed at procreation, it is not always the case. Variations on sexual behavior are in animal life hot as well: playing with each other, checking each other sexual organs, playing stuff, exploring things, it’s all in the game.

Among humans, is has been all further on developed, man may play, explore, check it all out, in many different manners.
Sexuality is thus a beautiful, relaxing and natural thing, even if it is of a different quality than breathing or eating. God says: it’s natural. It's good. It’s allowed. It’s all right. It's okay.

It happens regularly that some peoples develop a taboo. There are peoples, where eating with others is a taboo and one eats on oneself. As one defecates alone in the west.
Other peoples consider property to be a taboo.
So peoples can have taboos for a good deal fitting in their development.
Since the 19th century the Western world has addressed the taboo of sexuality nicely and even sex between two people of the same sex is mostly legalized. Masturbation didn’t need to be legalized because it never has been prohibited. Legally. Morally though. There are brave men and women who speak openly about masturbation, though still followed by sniggering response.

I say it openly : sexuality is natural. Sex between two people of the same sex is natural, playing with oneself sexually is natural.
For Me and for Us in the spiritual world, there is no taboo, no judgment, no prohibition, no punishment.
That is why I now repeat My tweet:

“sex is beautiful, between people of the same sex as well, masturbation is beautiful, but your attachment and sometimes your addiction!”

But you exaggerate somewhat. Call it turn from on extreme to the other, so there'll be a reaction, that’s what We know, yet I tell you crystal clear: the taboo is not to resolved yet or you people turn to the other extreme and create yourselves a new god, the god of sex.

Now it is a free-for-all. It has become a fascination, an attachment, an identification, an addiction. So my tweet isn’t about sexuality but about exaggerating, about being too attached to something, about being addicted to something.

Especially young people, sometimes even when they’re just twelve years old, think they have to have had sex, think they are behind the times, think they are "a little bit late", that they have to have sexual experience, and this because of group pressure, otherwise they’ll miss the boat, and that they have to caught op with the rest. And the media of advertising and TV and music join in with this. Your society is sexualized and now I ask you: "Where do you think the end of this development will be?".

I will tell you: in a decadent and immoral society where:

• young people are withered prematurely
• boys do not know the difference between respectful treatment and a rudely forcing their sexuality on others
• people become addicted to internet pornography
• the conscience of people is being infected through exceeding films and clips and blogs and pics about rape and violence and sex of bizarre forms
• one has lost the thread of equilibrium, inner civilization and moral self-control
• no one is learning anymore the value of self-control and sometimes saying no to oneself and the value of deferred satisfying of one’s needs
• everyone has come to believe that every need must be satisfied immediately and one suffers, if one does not immediately get what one wants.
  

I say now: eventually everything will be all right, and sexuality is fine.
I say also:addictions are evidence of a neglected immature attitude to life and the Spirit within you is longing for simplicity and austerity. And if you live your life in indulgence, attachment, identification and addiction, this always appears to be a temporary case, by definition. And then simplicity and frugality will be regained.

But this path will be nearly always accompanied with much pain and suffering. It's like in a natural wilderness: the farther you get lost, the harder the road back.
So the message to you all is to think about your path and about the steps you’re making!

My blessings to you all

On spiritual respect. A real Christmas speech (Tweet from God, 4)

 

“I am not a God of strict laws. I feel more love for you than churchgoers and freebooters think. Respect for the Human Nature!"

In my contacts with you, I do notice You are indeed telling me the truth and You are coaching me firmly, but at the same time You are more loving to me than I am to myself. In my mistakes You are speaking soothing words, You are comforting me in my despair, when I fall, You are helping me to get up.
Why do we treat ourselves so unlovingly?
I'm glad you are going to comment Your tweet from September 9.
 
I Am indeed more loving, how could it be otherwise. I oversee the whole, I know you better than you know yourself. I see where the opportunities and possibilities are situated, I see which mistakes can lead to which insights, you yourselves are so in the depth of it. You all have so much to learn, to discover, to experience. I know your path. That's the only reason for this blog through you: a little bit more of a helicopter view.

A goodish many churchgoers are so strict. I do not like their demands, their laws, their blast about shoulds and shouldn’ts. Usually they are frigid people, too much in their heads and looking at people with requirements of musts. Of what is not allowed, what should be punished, what is wrong. We see them busy, especially seducing underdeveloped, poor and helpless people with their seemingly simple message. But it's not a nice path, what they are offering, not a warm path at all, not a hopeful future. Eventually, they and those who are seduced, will retrace one’s steps, but that’s always involving a lot of suffering. That’s what I am foreseeing already.

“I am not a God of strict laws. I feel more love for you than churchgoers and freebooters think. Respect for the Human Nature! “

The freebooters are the many disbelievers who think the God of the believers is a strict and intolerant and unloving One. And actually they have made for themselves immediately a new god. The god of matter, of the body, of wealth, of comfort, of luxury, of convenience and immediate satisfaction of needs (see everyone walking around with a small bottle of water: one could get thirsty !). And this new god is the ape of God, the lord of the world, the devil, if you like.
And that's all pretty much relative, and does not lead to much.

"I am not a God of strict laws. I feel more love for you than churchgoers and freebooters think. Respect for the Human Nature! "

Respect for the Human Nature.What do We in the spiritual world love man!
The beauty in your eyes, if you enjoy nature.
Your joy, if you show someone the way in traffic.
Your beautiful, naked, glistening smooth skin, if you are just leaving the water.
Your love, if you are together with your loved ones.
Your creativity, if you are making music together.
Your sense of harmony, if you are building a beautiful house.
Your joy, if you are breeding a new species of roses.
Your love, when you are helping a vulnerable person in society.
Your hands, if you are supporting a weak person.
Your efforts to make the world better.
Your desire for God, if the world doesn’t satisfy you any longer.
Your emotion, if you feel you have been helped by Us.
Your sincere prayers, even if they are not always answered.
You hope for a better life for everyone.
Your compassion for victims of disasters.
Your sweet words of comfort in a social situation.
The straighting one’s back, when life appears to be too heavy.
Your holy people who already have admitted God on earth.
Your call for God.
Your courage in distress.

We, in the spiritual world, are able to mention another million reasons why We have respect for your human nature.

You can obtain this respect for yourself as well.
The great personalities of the earths, the saints, the sincere believers, the loving atheists, the great political leaders, the sages, the humble of heart, the helpers in secret before you have leaded the way.

My blessings to you all

Christ is born

I look with a certain compassion at all your Christmas trees, Christmas shopping, family dates and Christmas dinners, and observe how many of you forget, or not even know, that the feast primarily is concerning the birth of Christ.
Even believers think it’s a stale story, dated and perhaps made up at all.

Let Me say you all this.

The story is true, it is the peak in human history, it is an act of pure love, that Christ took this difficult path, along with His mother, and it’s a turning point as well in human history.
From this moment on, from the Birth, when the angels said to the shepherds: "Listen, Oh people of good will" until the death of Christ is one big event. This facilitated the connection between earthly and spiritual life, the connection became easier, improved, strengthened and energized.
But the main message of this beautiful and by God planned Life is this: from that moment on Christ could be born immediately and fully in your heart. Warranty for the spiritual life, surrender to God and promise of the spiritual life to you evolutionary creatures.

Christmas exhorts you to accept hiddenly and openly the Christ consciousness, the divine, the eternal, the new man, the spiritual future, that God manifest and permanent and omnipresent may come and live in your heart. In the here and now. With all the resulting graces.

In My previous blog I said: "why don’t you say to your inner self: hello, anybody there?"

Now I am telling you: why don't you allow Christmas into your life, in your heart, in your being. If you succeed in pushing aside the external, material, family and Christmas tree feelings and when you open up to God. Then you can experience that God is One with Christ, It’s Son on earth, that God feeds and cherishes the Christ Consciousness. That God loves to arrive, where it’s empty and tidy and clean.
In a filthy, lascivious, obsessed, messy, troubled heart God doesn’t come. Not that God shouldn’t be able to, because with a gust of wind God cleans everything with It’s breath, but God does not want to, because God only come when you want it. For God is modest and patient, and only when you ask God to, with your whole heart, your whole mind, with your whole will, God enters your heart.

Because to God it is when it comes to the point everything or nothing.

You are against God or you are with God. You want everything in the world, or you prefer God above all. God’s Christ said two thousand years ago: “you can not serve two masters”. And many of you are now serving a gentleman, whom I am calling My ape only.

Seize your opportunity.

This is the last thing I would like to say to you: every day again can become the One True Christmas in your life. And this is not depending on the atmosphere around December 25. Although the circumstances are more favorable because of the gestalt of the worldly spirit of Christmas, because of your hopes and your need for peace in this period.
But God is always ready, provided you are ready, any time.

My blessings to you all

On the inner self (Tweet from God, 3)

"You have a spiritual body, which must be nourished with attention, energy, stimulus. Your God and your soul love to see this"

From the moment you came into being, from the moment of pregnancy of your mother, your soul sets to work.
For God and your soul, Together, wish from that moment on only one thing, and that is that you later on, after your physical death, will survive.

To that end, you need a vehicle, which is able to continue independently and without the physical body. Wouldn’t We have built this, then would your life be limited to whatever you do on earth and would you cease to exist after the physical death.

We would be piqued to let this happen.
We would like to give you the opportunity to acquire eternity and thus to grow from "beast" into spirit, from evolutionary temporarily being to eternal life, with all the opportunities connected with this opportunity.
What a joy is it for Us, when you are leaving behind your earthly benefits and burdens, and when you are welcomed by the spiritual cosmos.
We want this, We can perform this, We are doing this.
So We as well do Our thing.

If you want to go to another city, you’ll get into a car or train.
If you go outside in winter, you’ll put on a coat.
If you are working out, you have put on your special shoes.
If you want to survive, you’ll need a spiritual body.

Although God is all around, it is the special task of your soul to cherish and care for its assigned embryo from the conception.
The soul thus builds on this spiritual body of yours, monitors it, cares for it, makes it grow and hopes for cooperation from your side from the first moments of your emotional development, from the beginning of your intellectual development and especially from the moment your will is developping.

The human will. The free human will. Wonderful instrument. Dangerous tool when it is misdirected. Tool for the soul in the growth of the spiritual body.

Your cooperation in this process is important.
Therefore, is My third tweet a message to you on behalf of the soul:

"You have a spiritual body, which must be nourished with attention, energy, stimulus. Your God and your soul love to see this"

God asks you on behalf of your soul for attention, energy and encouragement for the spiritual body. I'll give you some advice to this end:

• Take some time for rest, solitude, silence
• Know that you have an inner self
• This inner self consists of hidden inner feelings, intuition, imagination, ideas, an inner voice, you name it
• Please will you listen to the signals from your inner self
• When you have to take decisions, are doubting, when you need advice, find yourselves in fear, anxiety, when you aren’t looking forward to something, tell your inner self: "Hello, is anyone there?". That seems weird, but God is saying to you on behalf of your soul: "indeed there is someone around". Someone who burns with desire to think with you, to feel with you, to give you peace, advice and clarity, to provide solutions, to call on some auxiliaries, to create space, you name it
• Please why don’t you all give My advices the benefit of the doubt, try them out, pretend as if they are correct, who knows what evidence you’ll get?

The more you are doing this and the more consciously you contribute to this process, the more beautiful your spiritual body will become.

My blessings to you all
