Let me explain what we mean by compassion. Usually, our concept of compassion or love refers to the feeling of closeness we have with our friends and loved ones. Sometimes compassion also carries a sense of pity. This is wrong - any love or compassion which entails looking down on the other is not genuine compassion. To be genuine, compassion must be based on respect for the other, and on the realization that others have the right to be happy and overcome suffering just as much as you. On this basis, since you can see that others are suffering, you develop a genuine sense of concern for them. As for the closeness we feel toward our friends, this is usually more like attachment than compassion. Genuine compassion should be unbiased. If we only feel close to our friends, and not to our enemies, or to the countless people who are unknown to us personally and toward whom we are indifferent, then our compassion is only partial or biased.
Question 1: What does it mean to attain to the state of knowledge?
You are in knowledge when you are no longer in the mind but in the effortless bliss of the Self.
When the mind no longer emerges after every thought that arises and the mind no longer identifies itself as any type of form whatsoever, the innate consciousness of the Self gives way to ever increasing knowledge of Brahman.
Question 2: As some scriptures state that the mind and senses are vanquished when in the Supreme, how can we harmonize such an experience with the working body?
Such a state is common when in deep sleep. Given that deep sleep is in no way ultimate, and that deep sleep is temporary, the more adequate term for such a Supreme state is called nirvikalpa samadhi.
When in nirvikalpa samadhi, all concerns for whether or not Brahman is harmonious with the world never arises because everything is directly seen to function as a whole and without interruption. Thus, the mechanics of the universe are left behind for a direct understanding of Brahman.
Question 3: What are the four general states of consciousness and why is the Self mentioned as being more than these four states?
In essence, the individuated soul undergoes and experiments with four continual thoughts in the form of waking life, dreaming, sleeping beyond dreaming and trance. While trance is what is known as the witness stage, when the trance becomes prolonged to the point of total absorption, the Self rises above its identification with the last of these four states in order to see itself as it is beyond the simple and elaborate trappings of the mind.
Question 4: What is the connection between being liberated and the attainment of occult powers?
Let go of your attachment to occult powers because they are but a pale image of the world's illusory energies. Know that Self-Realization alone is the only real attainment to be had and that all occult powers must be voluntarily put aside for the final union of the Self with Brahman.
Question 5: It seems that the question of liberation is always contrasted with the question of bondage. Is bondage in reality an impediment to Self-Realization?
Only those who are preoccupied with mental phenomena believe that bondage is in any way an impediment to the said goal. For the Self, bondage does not exist in any of the four states described before. As bondage is a mere word or conditioned concept of the mind and certain scriptures, the question of liberation is ultimately useless since the question of bondage is ultimately useless. Why look for something which is not really there?
Question 6: If that is true, do the scriptures and their emphasis on these two questions become irrelevant?
Answers regarding the types of liberations that are available and the experiences of liberation are more than imaginary, but the Brahman or Self of the scriptures is a safe haven for the heart to take refuge in.
Question 7: Why should we study and reflect on the scriptures?
Ultimately, scriptures can be used as a means to transcend the desire to remain bound by the ropes of the mind and the desire to be liberated from the mind's antics.
Every effort that is made towards Brahman, such as the studying of scriptures, will give the Seer the vision of non-duality that it wants.
Question 8: Forgive me for my ignorance, but which other authority besides you proclaims that bondage and liberation are but thoughts to be discarded?
The strength of your experience of the Self will reveal what the scriptures do not and cannot.
Question 9: If it is a matter of experience, then how is it experienced?
Realize that bondage and liberation are modifications of something even more basic and essential. If you were to question your own existence and whether you really exist as an "I", you will be surprised to discover that since there is no "I", there is nothing that can be put into either of the two phenomena which you are disturbed about.
Question 10: Can everyone realize what you have just said?
Most certainly and without doubt.
Question 11: How?
When one individuated soul discovers that he exists even when the whole manifest and unmanifest universe spins out of control, the pure being of everyone is channeled through that one fortunate and blessed soul. Whether enlightened or not, nothing can oppose the pure being of the Self.

There is a story in Buddha’s life: One day one of Buddha’s sannyasins was passing through a street where he had gone to beg. The most beautiful woman of that town, the prostitute of the town, fell in love with the monk. She came down out of her house and requested the monk to come and reside with her.
And soon the rainy season was coming so the prostitute said, “Why don’t you stay with me during the rainy season? — because monks have to stay somewhere. For four months, during the rainy season, monks don’t move, so you will have to stay somewhere, you will have to find some shelter — why not with me?”
He said, “Perfectly okay. I will just have to ask my Master, ask his permission. If he says yes, tomorrow morning I will be present at your door.”
The prostitute could not believe the way the monk said it so simply, as if there was no problem! He said, “Perfectly okay. I have to stay somewhere. I was going to ask somebody to give me shelter for four months, and this is a gift from you! I just have to ask my Master; it is just a formal request because that is the way. I have to tell him that a certain woman has requested that I stay with her. Can I stay with her?”
Other monks heard about this, and of course they were jealous. It was impossible to tolerate. This was too much! But they waited — they waited because they thought Buddha would absolutely say no, categorically would say no. A sannyasin, and staying with a prostitute?!
And when the monk asked Buddha, Buddha looked at the monk and said, “Perfectly right! You can stay with her.” Now others stood up and they said, “This is not fair! And do you see the risk? This is a young man, and that woman is almost a magician. Even great kings are trapped by her, and this young man is almost innocent. She is not interested in giving him shelter, she has become lustful towards his beautiful body. And you say yes?”
Buddha said, “You wait! We will decide who is right after four months. Let him go and let him stay with the woman.”
Those four months looked very long for the other monks. It was really difficult to wait, and they knew that Buddha was going to be proved wrong — for four months living with that woman? She could not leave this monk, she would seduce him; it was absolutely certain. And after four months the monk came back and touched Budha’s feet. The others said, “Now tell the truth — what happened?”
And the monk said, “Just wait a few minutes, because the woman is coming and it will be better to hear it from the horse’s mouth herself.”
And the woman went and she touched Buddha’s feet, and she asked to be initiated into sannyas. Buddha said, “Why?”
She said, “I tried to seduce him, but I failed. He seduced me! He seduced me into sannyas! For four months I tried every possible way, but he remained like a lotus leaf. I would dance naked around him and he would meditate! I have never failed in my life, this is the first time. For the first time I am impressed by a man, for the first time I have encountered a man!
Up to now I had seen only slaves. They may have been great kings but they all touched the dust of my feet. This is the only man I have seen who remained like a lotus leaf I tried every possible way — good food, beautiful room, beautiful clothes, beautiful bed, every possible comfort for him — and he would never say no! — but I failed. I could not distract him.
And he used to laugh at me. I would dance my most cherished dances and I would start throwing my clothes away, waiting, now some lust might arise in his eyes — but never! He would laugh and giggle, and he would say,’What are you doing? And it is too cold, you may catch cold!’ He has transformed me. Now I would like to become the same, a lotus leaf.”
Awareness is more than a state of mind Being able to {sense} is so much more than asking yourself what is going on with your feelings or trying to examine what your emotions add up to, or where they are inadequate or perhaps trying to find where an actual thoughts came from; all these are able to be detected without being limited to such a limited perspective of living which perhaps you are at this moment without being aware that this is really the case. The main reason for me bringing up this scenario wasn’t my idea but one I was asked to help people with as there is at this moment a monumental misunderstanding concerning all the raising of our personal vibrations and frequencies. Once this is examined you may view your perspective of awareness in a different light as there are so many different perspectives which have been sort of glossed over and never really examined or explained adequately. This main reasoning for exposing this limitation has been overlooked for millenniums apparently and this is it straight up; the depth of yourself composes the stable element of yourself, but in actual fact this depth is also were you house all your foundations of yourself the stuff you count on. This has a base vibration and frequency that all other vibrations and frequencies are built upon. You have so many other aspects of yourself but of course everyone is aware of their ascension aspect self; yes? Well I help people who are aware but are having a difficult time of it every day; because those people waking up often sort of freak out as instant awareness is a huge change from the unaware way they were living, you can appreciate this can’t you? So how does this happen? You always need a base vibration which is stable and dependable then you can explore your new awareness can’t you? But what if all of your base vibrations is actually split up and as your vibrations raise all the focus is sent to the raising vibration and frequencies. Yes this is where you might stay ungrounded yes ungrounded and only focusing on the higher vibrations and frequencies and not paying any attention to the foundational base vibrations. So what happens now; you concentration is miles apart; as you have very high vibrations very base vibrations and a very wide gap of nothing vibrations. This means you are going to very high highs and very low lows; then as the higher high push the vibrations of the base vibrations lower and they impact or condense; so where are you going to stay yes in this fairy tale state of unawareness thinking that everything is beautiful and not able to see the whole reality of what is going on around you until you crash and burn wondering what the hell has gone on. Now not everyone is going to have this scenario happen but I see enough people who get referred to me to know that enough people suffer from this and I don’t live in a huge community to see the greater statistics of a large community so I can only surmise that there are many people suffering from this! This means that your mind is going to be going at a million miles an hour at your concern in life is going to be more about other than yourself; in fact yourself will be hard pressed to get a look in as you analyse those about you constantly! You see this could be wrongly diagnosed as physic attack or any number of old time myths and legends and yet the remedy is quite simple. One your whole energy is in your head with little in your body firstly; secondly your whole consciousness is in your head it is as if your head is the only vital part of you. Now remembering that you are made of a collective consciousness this means that the consciousness of your entire body is unable to contribute to your life; your head is the only body part of any worth; the rest is worth nothing. This is the first reason you are ungrounded and will have no energy passing through your entire body; just spasmodic bursts accomplishing nothing. This also means that the minds in the whole of every living particle of your body are also cut off; so your etheric or spirit body and physical body are both essentially ungrounded with little or no energy passing through them. Imagine that? But this can and does happen to so many people who are trying to find as much as they can and just become spiritual junkies going from one seminar to another but never really exploring what is actually retained in the self; as you are sending all yourself appreciation to the person who is giving the lecture. So why would this happen? How could this happen? When this could happen? And where does this happen? This will mean that as you meditate your will more than often just feel that dropping effect because you are unable to use the actual strength of yourself! This means that you are connecting the part of you which has little strength as this part of your consciousness is actually outside your actual main body of energy. When I said that I see people with a whole ghost of them following them well this is the bit of yourself you are actually accessing and which is disconnected from your main soul and heart. This means it is not a form of sub consciousness but is totally an out of conscious consciousness. This is a huge part of you desiring to be conscious; but has no idea of how to accomplish it. This part of the reason when people are becoming aware they become confused or anxious where they are heading. This also means that instead of following their intuition on were they need to go to next they just follow others and never really access their own abilities and potentials. This is the part of you I desire to connect so that your advancement in awareness is up to you not me not others telling you what to do or what your missing out on. You have your own path your own intuition and most of all your own inherent potential that you and only you understand. This means you could be sitting on a huge self-wealth of worth of self-potential and not having a clue what actually is in you, this means also that you could have some or many hidden talents just waiting to be explored in areas of you which you never even dreamt of; which you would be naturally proficient at! This is why I wrote Conversations through My Soul of Presence it was some ting I just had to get out of me and this is also why it isn’t just a book but a work shop with exercises to help open those blockages to the natural paths you need to travel or your natural life course. Along the way I had heaps of help from guides to facilitate what was needed and this is passed on to you and to help you connect to your personal guides and to a new intuition not blocked with the myths of ages. This also means that you will learn how to sense why sensing is a conscious form of feelings; you will also learn that sensing frees up your over active emotions and allows you to then access your own personal energy matrix which really indicates where your strength lies or where you need to strengthen a connection and how to go about it. You see as my guides have indicated your energy can’t disguise what is really happening so in the end the self-truth must always become apparent. Another way of thinking about this is that your energy knows or reflects if consciousness is connected correctly or not but thoughts and emotions don’t, they just give us an idea if we need to look at certain energy and check out how it is responding. This means we learn if our energy is connected to our consciousness or others and yes this can happen so easily without us being aware of it. So I guess these guides open us to so many facets of awareness that we have actually been unaware of but thought we were.

The timing of this could not be more DIVINE.
Be Still..
God is not found in frenzy, but in stillness. God is not found in loneliness, but in solitude. God is not found in desperation, but in friendly patience. God is not found in fullness, but in emptiness.
God is not found in fight, but in surrender. God is not found in entitlement, but in lowliness. God is not found in my ego, but in my alter-ego. God is not found in the midst of confusion, but in radiant clarity. God is not found in madness, but in lucidity and rationality. God is not found in in strength, but in weakness. God is not found in grandeur, but in simplicity. God is not found in death, but in life. God is not found in perfection, but in incompletion and necessity. God is not found in scarcity, but in generosity. God is not found in fear, but in trust. God is not found in disarray, but in harmony. God is not found in laziness, but in dedication. God is not found in chaos, but in His creation. God is not found in rebellion, but in obedience and acceptance. God is not found in delusion, but in truth. God is not found in random, but in precision. God is not found in luck, but in blessings. God is not found in beauty, beauty is found in God. God is not found in success, but in fulfillment. God is not found in polarization, but in communion. God is not found; rather, it is you who is found, for in finding God you find yourself, your true self. God is not found, He is welcomed. God is not here or there, He is. God cannot be grasped in this life, but this life can be grasped in God.

There are many ways we can each acknowledge and champion everyone we come in contact. You can give a warm smile, a silent wave, or nod your head. I was reminded of this recently when I was returning to my car from the grocery store. I walked past a young man, who was kneeling down in front of a crying girl, who looked about two years old. His voice was sharp and high pitched.
I paused a few feet behind him. I sent a silent message reminding him to be calm, kind and gentle. Within a few seconds, he stopped admonishing her, picked the still crying girl up and began walking down the isle of parked cars. His voice was less agitated and the girl stopped crying.
You can send silent messages that will change the atmosphere even with strangers. Each time you approach someone, send a silent wave of praise, kindness and love. You will be pleasantly surprised to see how much positive impact you will make in the world.
Pause now. Make a commitment to give silent acknowledgement and comfort to your fellow sojourners. ###

An ancient prophet once said: “There is no worse blind man than the one who doesn’t want to see. There is no worse deaf man than the one who doesn’t want to hear. And there is no worse madman than the one who doesn’t want to understand”.
How many times have we attributed human suffering to external causes? And how often have we attempted to change the effects only to find that nothing really changes?
The root of our delusion lays in the fact that we refuse to see and hear the truth. Our own judgments keep us in darkness. We keep blaming, judging and assigning the cause to someone else or something else.
The antidote to this delusion is to realize that the effects are simply the result of our own individual actions and reactions. We don’t need to judge and blame. We don’t need to feel guilty. The key is to accept things are as they are. It’s not a truth that we must suffer from the experience. That is a personal choice.
So, let’s not be the blind man who doesn’t want to see or hear the truth. Instead let us appreciate the value of expressing our life in alignment with the highest principles and sow seeds of love, truth, compassion, equality, unity and acceptance.
Starting today, let us enjoy and bless what we see in the mirror, without judgment, blame or guilt. Let our self love be the power that transforms the way we live, act and think so that we can be the change we want to see in the world.
Speak with Kindness and Gratitude Ascended Master, El Morya’s Weekly Message ~ October 30 – November 6, 2012 Channeled by: Julie Miller October 30, 2012
Each of you are well aware of the importance on language, what is understood and how you relate to others. It is very important how you sound. Your tone indicates many things including your level of confidence. In addition to your tone is how articulate you are and the choices of words you choose to express yourself and help to increase trustworthiness with your listeners. We communicate to many of you silently, yet the truly focused ones do hear us through the messages we leave through the heart. You though communicate greatly through how you speak and from the words you choose to say. By actively listening you learn to read if another is tired, feeling anxious or even insecure just by the tone of their voice. Too often judgments are made regarding another’s educational background and financial position based on the articulation and choice of words.
It is important dear ones to be aware of how you sound when you speak even while under stress. It is often witnessed under stressful situations; harsh words are spoken and heard through words and tone. More often than not, you are not breathing in a manner that supports your ability to come to a peaceful mindset. Breath-work dear ones have much benefit in more than stabilizing one’s body during meditation and fasting. Practicing deep breathing helps to bring calm before you speak and this is encouraged to learn. Hurting others through negative word choices does not demonstrate your God Presence dear ones. It is crucial to pick up on your own inner body’s cues on your own feelings, learning when you might becoming agitated before you say something you very well could regret. You cannot truly take back what is said, but what does evolve most definitely holds a lesson or two.
Spiritual leadership is role that utilizes your charisma and power in a balanced combination that comes through your tone, speech and the words you choose to express to others in order to motivate other dear souls that at any time seek your council. Each of you has the ability to be teacher and student during different times of your journey. These hats are interchangeable and depend on where your path has lead you and what you need to clarify that brings you to a specific person. Understand dear ones; you cannot rely only on your thoughts and philosophies to express your strengths and character for you. When your voice is strong and confident, with clear articulation tells many you are comfortable with yourself and with others. It also tells others you are accustomed to bringing forth positive outcomes from difficult situations.
Yes it can be hard to change your vocal style, but nothing is impossible we know this. As you accustom yourself using more positive words and expressing your thoughts in a well-organized manner, you will notice yourself becoming more confident and the conversations you have will adapt as well as you bring in different vocabulary. The best place to practice changing the tone of your voice is not while working. Better practice places are going through the checkout, when you are on the telephone with someone you know, in front of the mirror to see your facial expressions, etc. Strengthening your vocal tone dear ones requires both physical and mental adjustments.
We do have some ideas that will help improve your vocal tone. Ensure if you are sitting you are sitting straight to allow energy to move through you and for good air flow. Breathe deep, it’s okay if you need to pause before you speak. Work at reducing tension in and around your mouth and jaw. Learn to strengthen your pitch, make an effort to not sound monotone; pace your words as well as you can. When you interact with another even if you do not know them well, treat them with the same respect as you would as if they were a trusted friend. Make sure to never undervalue yourself or miscalculate who is talking with you and listening to your words. When the other person talks, always answer or reply with genuine care and compassion. Understand dear ones every interaction even if they are not person-to-person is significant. Everything has purpose.
When you express loving kindness to your speech dear ones you bring yourself to the knowledge that is inside of you that encourages you to cease from using harsh language and to engage in kindly speech instead. Speech that is kind is an expression of your God Presence in action dear ones. When you are expressing yourself with kindness you are not being superficial, rather you are demonstrating positive emotions through your actions and words. Love, generosity, compassion, and joy can be noticed by others if you allow this dear ones to be recognized through your actions, speech and written word. Your positive emotions can be developed while meditating and from practice you might even develop a habit of rejoicing in other people’s good qualities and good deeds instead of criticizing on the negative. More dear souls grow from positive words of encouragement rather negative judgments and condemnations.
Yes you can create a habit of giving praise and encouraging others. We see many dear souls passing blame, criticizing, complaining and so forth because it is easier to find faults than to see the good points. This dear ones helps to build a substantial package of negativity that is full of unenlightened kindness but through your own conscious choices you can turn this around dear ones and make your speech work effectively for you. Open your hearts dear ones and express your gratitude, friendliness and encouragement with strong, positive and kind words. When you speak in kind and with gratitude you are forbidding yourself from being drawn into complacency.
Each day you are presented with many fortunate opportunities to improve your speech and your relationships with others. Make the effort dear ones to maintain a positive mood to your vocal or written message that expresses your God Presence through love and kindness. When you are home with yourself, ONE with you, you then fully understand all your traits and what you have mastered. Knowing what you have mastered is your opportunity to show others in a way that is helpful and non-biased. What you have not yet mastered is work in progress, and you know you will fulfill each part of your journey in time. Develop yourself and watch yourself grow.
Observe yourself dear ones; be aware of the effectiveness of your speech and its effect on others. Ask yourself, “Are you speaking from your God Presence?” When you speak in kindness, love and compassion you are sharing God’s love and that dear ones is a beautiful gift to be sharing.
I AM Ascended Master, El Morya through Julie Miller
Question 1: What is the light which illuminates consciousness?
It is that which provides the self-existent Seer with an understanding of the worlds of form both within and without. Although not in itself an object, it is nonetheless the object of Brahman's illumination.
Question 2: What is knowledge?
Knowledge is best personified as the infinite tranquility of a motionless ocean or a motionless sky. When the disciple is as tranquil as such, then he can be considered to be in knowledge.
Question 3: What is bliss?
Bliss is similar to deep sleep in that there is no thought given to anything. In such a sate, the mind is a blank void, wholly consumed by the reality of Brahman.
Question 4: Is there something beyond bliss?
When considering what is beyond bliss, do not be so concerning or concentrated on such things because the activity of the mind is rendered useless due to the immense peace felt by the Self-Realized Soul.
Even though active in the world, the mind of the Seer is nowhere to be found and the Seer is as if a part of the world but is without a conception of the world.
Question 5: How are we to understand the statement that the universe revolves around the Self?
While the Self is embodied in the world, which is like a universe in itself, all objects are perceived because there is a perceiver. If you were to remove the perceiver from that which is perceived, the world as we know of it will become Brahman. When the world is Brahman, the universe bows down to the Self.
Question 6: As there are bodies and selves everywhere, how can the Self be solely a unity?
When the body is accepted as the Self, the Self appears to be divided and multiplied throughout the world. But once every type of identity or thought is rendered back to its essence, the Self is bodiless and therefore is one.
Question 7: How can some say that the mind can be used to see Brahman whereas others say that such a thing is impossible to accomplish with the mind?
The pure mind can see such things but the impurified mind cannot.
Question 8: What is the difference between the pure mind and the impurified mind?
The impurified mind only sees the dim reflection of Brahman's Consciousness, whereas the pure mind, through discrimination, knows what is beyond all of the reflections of every mind. Thus, the pure mind sees reality as it is and the impurified mind is captured by the fragments of its own consciousness.
