5-Minute Enlightenment

Vince Migliore

Most people dont know their own identity. Worse yet, they are unwilling to let go of the definition of who they think they are. People generally think they are a body with a mind, but that mind seems to terminate with the death of the body. Few appreciate the idea of consciousness existing beyond the constraints of a body. Fewer still have any understanding of an eternal spirit. Many of their religious leaders teach that man is born in sin with inherent evil as his birthright. Truth is the opposite of these retarded ideas. In reality we are eternal spirits with a consciousness that was created by God and which links us to other humans and all of creation. All of the Mystery Schools teach that a spark of divinity dwells in the heart of each individual. In truth, I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (1) Spirit endowed consciousness is very powerful and can direct creative energy to form anything we like, as we are co-creators with our Source. Our cosmic mind can even slow energy down to dense forms. Remember E=mc2. Energy is matter speeded up, or in reverse, matter is energy slowed down. And the mind is the director. Thoughts are things according to psychic Edgar Cayce. Mind is the builder. Human minds have built an entire world by drawing energy to themselves and slowing it down to form a dense material environment. In that setting, the human being may appear as a body with a mind and a resident spark of divinity encased in the material vessel. From the eternal perspective however, the spirit has surrounded itself with slowed-down energy to create the appearance of a material world. This dense world is a mental construction, a school-room for spirits to learn specific lessons for the sake of soul growth. The spirit is the architect, the mind is the builder, the body is the material building. (2)

Unfortunately, many souls have forgotten their original identity in their descent to a material world. They think they are separated from God and each other. They dont realize they made this all up. In truth we are all Sons of God. The admonition to Be ye therefore perfect is really just a prod to remember who you really are. Be god-like, because that is your true identity, and everything else is your own nightmare. Only the creations of light are real. The world is a stage as Shakespeare so wisely noted, but we are the playwrights, the directors, and the actors. At the same time, thanks to personal advancement, help from the heavenly realms, and such material emergencies such as climate change and political tensions, many are being roused from their spiritual slumber. The Bible says that a deep sleep fell upon Adam, and nowhere is there reference to his waking up. (3) That awakening is now occurring. We are being aided by vast armies of spirit guides, angels, heavenly beings, and light workers who make up the celestial government. In reality, we are all one collective mind. We are beginning to re-member ourselves in that connected state. The key to getting there more rapidly is forgiveness. How can you see your brothers as part of yourself when you hold a grudge against them? Unity, telepathic communication, and empathy simply cannot operate when anger or hatred clouds the mind. Jesus used the term Kingdom of Heaven to describe a state where everyone recognizes the Fatherhood of God and the Brotherhood of man. We dont have many kingdoms on Earth nowadays, so how would you describe that state where the Love of God rules? The Galactic Government? The Universal Brotherhood? A spirit-centered utopia? The point is, you are brother not only to fellow humans, but to plants, animals, space creatures, light beings, and a host of angels and spirit workers. There is quite a reunion in store for you when you accept your identity as a Child of God! Spirit identification constitutes the secret of personal survival and determines the destiny of spiritual ascension. (4) When you accept your new definition, your real identity, you become a conduit for that cosmic knowledge. You become a beacon of the Light, and take your place, like Christ, as a savior to those who are still struggling with the illusion of the identity with dense matter. Your forgiveness allows you to ascend from the cycle of reincarnation and rejoin your spirit family. The Buddhists call that breaking the cycle of reincarnation, ending suffering. By remembering your spirit identity the petty illusions of material strife melt away. Its a big time on your planet because this is the big one. This is where you, as a planet, awaken out of the dream of thinking youre alone. (5)
