God's 10 Commitments, not Commandments (Neale Donald Walsch)

Moses went to God on the mountaintop and begged God to give him a sign…something, anything, that he could take back to his people that would allow them to know that they were taking the right path; the path back to God.

So God talked with Moses directly and said, “You will know that you are on the path back to the experience of your own Divinity—which is the path back to God—because there are certain things that you will do and not do as a result of being on that path. So, God said, look for these signs that I promise I will give you. This is my covenant. This is my commitment.”

You shall know that you have taken the path to God, and you shall know that you have found God, for there will be these signs, these indications, these changes in you. I promise you, you will see these signs. These are my Ten Commitments…

1. You shall love God with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul. And there shall be no other God set before Me. No longer will you worship human love, or success, money, or power, nor any symbol thereof. You will set aside these things as a child sets aside toys. Not because they are unworthy, but because you have outgrown them.

And, you shall know you have taken the path to God because:

2. You shall not use the name of God in vain. Nor will you call upon Me for frivolous things. You will understand the power of words, and of thoughts, and you would not think of invoking the name of God in an unGodly manner. You shall not use My name in vain because you cannot. For My name—the Great “I Am”—is never used in vain (that is, without result), nor can it ever be. And when you have found God, you shall know this.

And, I shall give you these other signs as well:

3. You shall remember to keep a day for Me, and you shall call it holy. This, so that you do not long stay in your illusion, but cause yourself to remember who and what you are. And then shall you soon call every day the Sabbath, and every moment holy.

4. You shall honor your mother and your father—and you will know you are the Son of God when you honor your Father/Mother God in all that you say or do or think. And even as you so honor the Mother/Father God, and your father and mother on Earth (for they have given you life), so, too, will you honor everyone.

5. You know you have found God when you observe that you will not murder (that is, willfully kill, without cause). For while you will understand that you cannot end another’s life in any event (all life is eternal), you will not choose to terminate any particular incarnation, nor change any life energy from one form to another, without the most sacred justification. Your new reverence for life will cause you to honor all life forms—including plants, trees and animals—and to impact them only when it is for the highest good.

And these other signs will I send you also, that you may know you are on the path:

6. You will not defile the purity of love with dishonesty or deceit, for this is adulterous. I promise you, when you have found God, you shall not commit this adultery.

7. You will not take a thing that is not your own, nor cheat, nor connive, nor harm another to have any thing, for this would be to steal. I promise you, when you have found God, you shall not steal.

Nor shall you. . .

8. Say a thing that is not true, and thus bear false witness.

Nor shall you. . .

9. Covet your neighbor’s spouse, for why would you want your neighbor’s spouse when you know all others are your spouse?

10. Covet your neighbor’s goods, for why would you want your neighbor’s goods when you know that all goods can be yours, and all your goods belong to the world?

Again, you will know that you have found the path to God when you see these signs. For I promise that no one who truly seeks God shall any longer do these things. It would be impossible to continue such behaviors.

These are your freedoms, not your restrictions. These are my commitments, not my commandments. For God does not order about what God has created—God merely tells God’s children: this is how you will know that you are coming home.

Moses asked in earnest—“How may I know? Give me a sign.” Moses asked the same question that you ask now. The same question all people everywhere have asked since time began. My answer is likewise eternal. But it has never been, and never will be, a commandment. For who shall I command? And who shall I punish should My commandments not be kept?

There is only Me.

The Four Phases of "Twin Flame" Relationships (Linda Goodman)

Phase One - The Preparation

This phase comes BEFORE you meet your twin flame.
 It is very much a part of your twin flame relationship.
What happens in this phase –
– Karmic Relationships
There are one or few seriously devastating relationships. These begin with strong emotions and end painfully. These are called Karmic relationships.
– Emptiness and Strong desire for ‘The One’
After you have been through the Karmic relationships, you will have a very deep yearning or desire to find ‘The One’.
At this point you will desire meeting your perfect love, whose image you will carry in your imagination (or in some cases in dreams).
This Image is of your twin flame, although you probably will not realize it at this point.
This happens because your soul knows your twin flame is coming!


Phase Two – The Meeting – A Glimpse Of Heaven

This is the phase when you meet your twin flame for the first time (in this incarnation).
You might try to resist at this point but you will fall for him/her anyway.
Then comes a short period of ‘perfection’ -  A Glimpse of Heaven
What happens In this Phase –
– The first meeting
You will meet your twin flame in unusual circumstances or at some unexpected place.
You will find this person somehow ‘special’ at this point.
– The initial attraction
You will soon find yourself being attracted to your twin flame.
You might not be ready for a relationship and so you might try to resist this attraction.
You will fall anyway. Deeply In love.
– A short period of the most ‘Perfect’ relationship that you’ve ever experienced.
After the initial attraction, you will find yourself in a deeply romantic relationship.
It will seem perfect in every possible way.
You will find all that you want in your partner and much more.


Phase three – The Dance

This is the tough one. 
It starts after you have been in a relationship with your twin flame for a while. 
This lets them achieve higher energy levels so that they can ascend in bliss together.
This is also the phase where both twin flames get spiritually enlightened…What Happens in this Phase –
– Arguments / Fights
This phase brings disagreements.Deep seated fears and frustrations surface.
There is a lot of confusion.
– The Runner and the Chaser.One twin flame, at this point, takes the role of the ‘Runner’ (which is usually the man).
The Runner tries to avoid the partner and runaway from the relationship.
This happens because the runner feels like he is losing control.
The other twin flame now becomes the ‘Chaser’ (usually the woman).
The Chaser is spiritually more aware than the Runner and will ‘chase’ or ‘run after’ the Runner.The Chaser is deeply shocked and hurt by the ‘running’ and unexpected behavior of the Runner.
The Runner gets a ‘Soul Shock’ when the Chaser gives up and goes away from the Runner.
Ultimately, the Runner does return and there is a reunion.
This happens first at the level of the Soul and then in the physical plane.
The reunion happens when both the partners become fully aware of the spiritual reality.


Phase Five - Eternal Bliss - Being Love

This is the ‘Happily Ever After’ Phase.
Both twin flames are enlightened at this time.
There is perfect love and harmony.
The twin flames now enjoy their Sacred Love and Intimacy.
They have the power to create whatever they can imagine…
The world truly becomes their canvas… and they paint it with the colors of Love.
At the end of their journey on Earth, they ascend together…
Together, In Love, Joy, and Peace...
Together, In Eternal Bliss…

The Mechanics of the Mind

The mind stores experiences and confuses it with WISDOM

The mind holds data from past events and this data attaches to new events

The quality of this data is limited because the mind can only hold data to which it has been exposed - limited to the sum total of your experiences

(nothing has built in meaning - any meaning comes from past associations)

Expand your mind to hold data that it does not currently hold

You cannot erase data - you must overwrite it

Add data from source outside your mind

ACCESS THE DATA OF YOUR SOUL

Ying and Yang

Duality is an inevitable phenomena in our life, and the magical key is to find that inner balance. The closer you get to the light, the darker what is out there will appear, for only when the darkest comes out of hiding and shows itself, can the light be experienced. The darkest and the lightest is all our own energy filtered through our belief systems, and when it seems dark, it is only an indication of belief systems that are out of alignment with our core essence of who we truly are. This is when these belief systems should be re-evaluated and transformed into ones that serve our highest good, for them to appear as the bright light that ultimately brings us joy, love, peace, harmony and bliss! There we will find our place of perfect peace with all our love bubble emotions surging and expanding!
