4. What Are You Giving for Christmas? When I was coming down here I thought, “J-R, what are you going to talk about today? For the last thirty or forty years you’ve been giving thirty or forty hours’ worth of information, and you haven’t really repeated much except to say Merry Christmas.” So, once again, Merry Christmas. And then I thought that nowadays there often is no “Christ Mass” in Christmas. Christmas has become a financial organization that your children use against you to plan the rest of your year together.

5. Neutrality There is a notion about neutrality, of remaining neutral, including remaining neutral in the midst of emotional turmoil. Sometimes it is not good to be neutral. Sometimes it’s best to take up energy and redirect negativity in another direction. If you’re being very neutral, you may not recognize the negativity.

8. Animals, Dying and Spiritual Exercises When we deal in the karmic field on the planet here, there are three ways we do it: we create it or we promote it or we allow it. Sometimes the allowing is not doing things and saying, “Well, I didn’t know,” or “How was I to know?” Yet deep down inside of us, we get the strange feeling like we could have known. This is not necessarily we should have (that comes under another way of doing it), but it’s “I could have done that, had I listened inside, had I really paid attention.”

9. The Difference Between Seeding and Tithing I am going to suggest an ancient idea to you that is for personal abundance. We could call it casting, "faith-ing," or seeding. Let me tell you how it works, especially in contrast to tithing. In a way, tithing is asking, "What is the appropriate behavior in the eyes of the Lord?" It is saying, in essence, "God, thank you for what I have received. And from what I've received, I want to give 10 percent back to you." That's like an aftereffect: After I get it, I tithe. So, a very simple way of defining tithing, without going into the financial aspects of it, is that you're saying, "I am thankful for what I have already received."

10. Your Destiny and God’s Will for You Your ultimate destiny is to be consciously aware on all levels at all times and to know your own divinity. When you do this, you also know the divinity in all things and realize that it is all one. Then, what you do in your life is up to you to decide. You can do any number of things and still fulfill your destiny of knowing God; in other words, what you do here has little if anything to do with Soul Transcendence.

12. Rededicating to Soul Transcendence When you are initiated to the Sound Current, it is a very important step because you are saying, in essence, "I am going to go into the heart of God.

13. Loving Right Now Let’s take a hard look at our love pattern, and the area of responsibility in interpersonal relationships. Someone once said to me, “You talk about this divine love, this divine Light. Well, what are you doing with it? Why don’t you take it and direct it towards somebody and share it with them?” They weren’t talking about the personal love, because often we let that get in the way. They were talking about the divine love.

It’s very hard to tell you about the line of masters that MSIA functions through, because we get to a point where we can no longer tell you. They must remain unnamed. But the Silent Ones carry on all work of all universes.

19. You, The Soul Our goal is to move from the external power of the personality into the authentic power of the Soul.

23. How Are You Serving? When people say, “I want to be of service,” they have a lot of ideas about what that represents. But I look at the word service itself, not at my idea about the word, to find out what it’s conveying to me, because often the meaning is within the frequency of the word. And I’ve found that when we are being of service, that means we are freely doing without any other thought in mind. When you serve this way, all of your things are put away in terms of what you want, and you do in terms of what’s there to be done, without anything coming back to you at all. It’s not, “I’ll be of service so I can gain.” You just do, to do, to do, to do, to do. And that’s it.

26. Suffering Most of us at one time or another ask why there is so much suffering in the world and, even closer to home, why we ourselves suffer. Suffering is the result of attachment. Attachment is the result of desire. Desire is the result of not feeling whole and complete. Not feeling whole and complete is the result of not being in contact with God. So, suffering is obliterated by finding God, and that is what I teach.

27. Transforming Anger: A key to being part of the solution rather than part of the problem In today's world, high stress levels and violence are a big part of today's conversation. Everywhere we look, it seems there's another story about stress on the job, road rage, global warfare, or economic concerns. Yet these are not what most people really want in their lives or world. I often talk with friends and family about how to approach life with peace and calm. When life seems out of control, we need to identify ways to take care of ourselves and support ourselves. When we are supporting ourselves, we can become part of the solution in any situation we face rather than exploding into anger and being part of the problem.

There is what we call the Supreme God, or the Sarmad, although the name of God is actually unspeakable. In the center is what we could call the It of Itself. (This still says nothing, but we have to use words for communication on this level, even though what I am saying is a “lie” because these spiritual things can’t really be put into words.) This It of Itself is what we're going towards, and there are many pathways into God.

The basic self resides physically around the area of the solar plexus or stomach. The conscious self is you—your everyday self, the self reading this. The location of the high self is usually about six to eight inches above the person’s head.

I'm the target of your attention.

Have you ever seen a great-looking woman who puts out a certain vibration that’s not sexy but is erotic? It's Eros. It isn't that she is after sex with everybody; rather, she’s after close, friendly relationships, where people give in to her and her behavior. With a person like this, even when she’s not thinking about having someone participate with her, they still feel this Eros energy moving out from her. They may even see a picture of her and see this energy.

Riding the Traveler's Train This is from a sharing J-R did at Living in Grace in 1997When you first stood up to share, I heard you say something about, "I have good s.e.'s, and I have mundane s.e.'s," or something to that effect. That seemed to indicate that you were the one who was bringing about whatever phenomena took place in your awareness as you did s.e.'s. But, as a matter of fact, you really don't have anything at all to do with it. It's being done by the Traveler Consciousness, who does the s.e.'s for you according to your karma, not according to your thoughts or feelings.
