Dr. Michael Bernard Beckwith On Manifestation, Spiritual Growth, Meditation, Life Visioning

spirituality is first of all every being is spiritual there's no one that's not spiritual there's spirit the word spiritual timeless eternal all had the same meaning so so being a spiritual being means that we are an eternal being so spirituality is the process by which we come into that knowing we actually come into an awareness that we are spiritual there are many people that are are sleepwalking who have no idea or their eternal beings they they think their Genesis began with their parents getting together they think their their Genesis is something that happened to them on the experiential level so they're not aware that their spiritual so spirituality are the practices that we use to become aware of our spiritual nature so that the timeless eternal can begin to express through us that's intelligence it's love it's beauty its abundance I believe that we have first of all you use the word purpose yeah and so everyone has the same purpose and our purpose is to reflect and to reveal this grand cosmos this grand presence in a way that only we can so this presence which never makes a mistake and never does it do over has created us as unique beings so being spiritual means that we are activating the potential of who we are because no one else can be us we're the only ones that can be us so if we're not going to come into our full spiritual measure then that potential that is within us is lost okay so we are living from it from a mandate of that and so it's it's an imperative and and because the universe is on purpose and the university is progressive it creates scenarios for us to wake up to come back to our purpose over and over and over again on planet Earth which is a school of course you have every single stage of development on one planet you have individuals that have no idea that they're spiritual that are operating from an instinctual animalistic consciousness all the way to people that are where that their spiritual who are operating more from a divine context and every stage in between all on one plant every being lives in a different world okay based on their perception mm-hmm so most of the time I'm living in a very peaceful world the world that I'm living in a tremendous joy compassion friendship love prosperity that's the world I live in mm-hmm I see the other world but I'm not living in them absolutely yet okay now as long as there are individuals on the planet who have a belief in scarcity and separation then there's going to be that experience on the planet you see this is the way that that is but we are quickening to where the outer world is beginning to reflect a greater awareness of our oneness with life now it may not look like it but right now we're living on the planet and which is the most peaceful time in human history based on the amount of population it's on the planet as less war mm-hmm less disease less killings on the planet right now that any time in human history to always hear about this no we don't yeah so based on population I mean you're taken to consider the population it's the most peaceful one the most peaceful times on the planet it doesn't look like it but it is so when you step back and look at that then the outer world is starting to reflect the inner eternal values that are no old what I'd like to remind people of is that the universe which is the external out picturing of the order of the mind of God the mind of love beauty whatever name you want to put there it's progressive mm-hmm it reflects back to you your state of consciousness and it reflects back to you the questions that are constantly going through in your mind so people have regular questions that they ask most many times people are unconscious about their inquiry mm-hmm so they'll fall prey to what's wrong who's to blame whose fault is it why me so if you're gonna be getting the spiritual path you have to uplevel your questioning you have to begin to ask things like you know what gift is in me that is seeking to express itself what potential is here that wants to be activated what's my next step in my own unfolding now of an individual begins to sincerely hang out in that kind of questioning there'll be a vibration will match an answer will begin to come in a language in a way that you can understand followed by action so you'll actually be pulled into a greater expression of living by the questions that you were asked yeah you see so the most people ask disempowering questions you know they'll ask questions mainly operating from the survival mm-hmm aspect you know how can I get more okay you know how could I never gate through all of this turmoil got it up level got it up level the question what seeking to emerge in my life right now you know if you if you take that question and put it at the level let's say of a plant then a rose is trying to emerge you take it to the level of a human being and then there's a buddhic field there's a christ awareness that's trying to emerge but not like the buddha or not like jesus like Sean like Mike yes unique expression of that same that same quality my artistry my love my beauty my unique way of expressing that and the moment we begin to walk in that kind of direction we end up no longer hand-holding with the status quo now there's something new that's never happened before because I've never happened here that wants to come forward yeah you see and so we're living in an adventurist what I say you know you want to you want to wake up and actually live your life as if you're owning it and so what happens your your your the activity of you awareness expands you become more alert if if I say today come on we're gonna go on a hike and we've never gone down this path before you know we're gonna go in with a level of expanded awareness heightened awareness we're gonna see things we've never seen before we're gonna create a new path you know and so I I always advise people to live life like you're on an adventure yes you know you don't know what's gonna happen but because the universe is progressive it's gonna be good good yeah the right question think when you're dealing with goals yeah you see there's there's this task oriented people uh-huh there's goal-oriented people and then there is purpose oriented people oh wow yeah so there are individuals that do tasks they have no goals uh-huh then they're individuals that are goals but they have no purpose then they're individuals that live a larger purpose now when you're living a larger purpose you do have goals and they do tasks so when you're when you're in a dynamic of a larger purpose you can set goals mm-hmm and you can say you know I'd like to graduate from school by within the next four or five years so I like to learn this particular instrument become proficient in it in this particular period of time or I'd like to start my business mm-hmm and I'd like I'd like to see my business profitable yeah by the third year you know and so you can definitely set goals or I'd like to get my body temple in shape yes there might be a level of obesity or a level of diabetes or a level of something I'd like to I'd like to hone the body temple so I want to do that and by this time next year I'd like to see myself being able to to to walk three miles without getting winded or you know so you definitely can set goals but the goals I like to say that your goals I don't like the way I don't really like to use the word should on each other you know yeah you know we prefer that the goals are in a dynamic greater purpose yes and what is that purpose my purpose is to reveal the face of divinity someone reveal the face of divinity with a good body temple mm-hmm perhaps a business that's profitable and providing a great service to people or I'm activating a certain gift or talent by a particular period of time absolutely so could you you know this that there are people who have cheap goals who aren't happy because they have the larger purpose goal allows you to become strong enough to give yes so if in fact I burn myself out just trying to be a giver but I haven't yet developed my own gifts my talents activated my capacity developed a level of health around my psychological well-being my my emotional well-being my physical my financial well-being and nothing to give mm-hmm so we have goals to develop ourselves then we become better instruments of giving my hand you a flu you don't know how to play it and I say you know go inspire that person over there with this flu didn't you just gonna make noise nothing I can do yeah but if you take the time and develop yourself with a level of proficiency around flute playing then if I say Shawn those people over there need to be inspired then you can take your flute and you can go do it what you've developed yourself first huh now you've gone into giving absolutely so it's not either/or it's something sensuality yeah it's like I'm developing myself and I want to be in the vibration of giving and serving humanity or people in my neighborhood yeah absolutely we're living at a time in which a lot of our science are basically validating altruism yes in generosity and forgiveness so there was a number of studies that show that when an individual gives the endorphins and the chemicals have fled their body amp up their immune system slow down the aging process help develop a greater sense of role earrings on the brain function it allows you to think more critically so just in terms of your health through her if you if you somewhere within your domain ask how can I be a giver yes you become a healthier being okay yeah and then met metaphysically form follows your state of consciousness so the hands of the givers are never empty if you ask how can I give today and then you start to be guided as to how you can give then the universe matches that desire and then you have more to give yeah if you become miserly and stingy you end up losing what you have yes or you end up living in fear of losing which is the same thing mm-hmm we develop a spiritual practice and then we change the world where we are wherever are gifted area it is area is so that if I'm a teacher and I go into a classroom I get to brain vision in a possibility to those students yes so they get to live in the possibility of a different world if I'm in medicine that I get to go with my clients and bring them into a holistic vibratory frequency of medicine I get to change their world you know if I'm a musician I get to open myself up and catch compositions and arrangements that will uplift the spirit yes you know and then little by little by little the world changes now we have to be reminded and I've been teaching this for a while that there's a difference between the planet in the world okay yeah the planet Earth is 3/4 water mm-hmm it's mountain ranges it's dirt it's alive sacred mother earth is alive and then there's the world the world is the synergetic connection of beliefs opinions perspectives and points of view that creates a worldview mm-hmm so two people can be standing on the same spot on the planet but be in different worlds yes you see the inner narrative is creating a different world yeah so what we're in the process of doing is helping people actually change their narrative which changes their world then the outer world begins to reflect that okay yeah yes so world and planet are not synonymous the world is a play of tenth of conscious yes from those who feel a sense of separation all the way to those who are living in the realm of the divine it's just a play of consciousness that's perfect and huh you see and it's better now than it used to be yes and it will be better ten years from now why because more and more people are meditating mmm-hmm studying I mean you look back 10 12 years ago when the secret hit that was a revolutionary thing absolutely even though a lot of us already we already knew those person yes they weren't they were old hat for many people but for millions of people suddenly was like I can actually choose my thought yeah actually changed my mind I can actually participate my own destiny I called the secret a Trojan horse yes you know it it it it snatched people's minds with prosperity relationships and body temple you know the externals yes as soon as you go if the Trojan horse is to get you in absolutely what you got it yeah there's all this deeper teachings you cannot transcend what you haven't mastered okay so you want to master the art of visualization so that you're not falling prey to your mind running rampant with worst-case scenarios which is what the news desk for yes absolutely it's like if you don't think for yourself and something's thinking for you and it's generally a worst-case scenario you know you somebody's to say they're driving to work it's traffic they're gonna be late all of a sudden the mind starts to I'm gonna be late I'm gonna be fired and I'm like fine I'm gonna lose my house I'm gonna be homeless I'll be on the street begging for money you know the mind just rolls insane to it worst-case scenario so the power of visualization then it allows you to establish best-case scenarios not attached to them but gravity creating the best case scenarios so that there's a trending towards that mm-hmm and then as you begin to develop the mind or take back your mind so it's not hijacked by worst-case scenarios but it's trending towards best-case scenarios now you can open yourself up to what's trying to emerge to me that I can't even imagine yeah you know the here's the trick if you can imagine it it ain't it oh wow yeah because you can't imagine a formless timeless eternal presence it's beyond your imagination and it's infinite so your imagination your imaginal skills take you to a certain point yeah then you have to leap into the unimaginable realm where more good than you could possibly imagine it against the flow so it's not either/or it's above both absolutely establish mastery mm-hmm and what I call stage 2 using the imagination and then you flow into being available for more good than you could imagine yeah people often say what's the advanced teaching yes I say beginning teachings theory advanced teaching is practice yes that's the advanced intensity let's take all of this and you actually practice yeah take us take a period of time every day we actually practice you actually study you actually affirm the truth you actually affirmative ly pray you actually practice so your mind is is hanging out best case scenarios you actually practice asking empowering questions and making yourself available to it practicing being still going into meditation reading allows for new neurons to develop yes when you actually read and sometimes if you read and actually say some things out loud you're using your visual cortex you're using your verbal and you're using your ears to hear what you're saying yes so you're using all the senses to make yourself free yes you see so you read in your practice and then you can actually see the trajectory of your life change keep a journal you can look back 12 months ago this was my greatest fear my greatest complaint I was feeling this all the time Wow I don't really visit that place that many more yes I'm kind of visiting possibility now I'm visiting potential mm-hmm what happened yes you know on a subconscious level which is like the the conscious minds like the tip of the iceberg yeah directional conscious on the subconscious level is where all the beliefs and tendencies are so if you just do a little stab at it you may have a little progress little grace notes will show up but you're not really getting at yeah that the subconscious tendencies so it's like if you're driving a if you're at the helm of a great ship going an ocean liner and the captain says we went ahead in this direction the boats still gonna go in the old direction for the moment the momentum is gonna take you in that old even though you're given the the direction you've turned you've actually turned the wheel the boat is still gonna go in that direction for a while because that's the momentum of that direction and then slowly it begins to hmm so if one begins to practice in the beginning the momentum of their previous belief will carry them for a while and then little by little there'll be a slow turn and they'll get a little insights they'll get little pinpricks of change and then now hitting in a different direction and then that picks up there who you know inertia then becomes momentum yeah and momentum becomes a new trend and a new insight a new pattern so I would just acknowledge people to stay inspired and not give up you know in in commit otherwise known as Egypt they used to have on certain walls for the Adept that's stay inspired yes so you do so you once you once you have the theory then you place yourself in a higher attractive field to stay inspired while the change is happening that's why you go to some communities mm-hmm that's why you listen to this podcast and that's why you you you go and you hear people like in England you go here carry meals Austin yes you go you go you stay inspired so while the change is happening you're staying inspired nothing's happening I don't know what's going on you know so you can I inspire you get to a field that's higher than yours so you stay inspired then when the change starts - happy - all this stuff really works yes then you become a point of inspiration everyone is unique but not special okay yeah we're all unique expressions of this infinite life and there aren't special people they're just people who have specialized their attention using again the piano analogy there are people that they're virtual so they have music flows but they specialize yes the universal presence just say I'm going to create a very special piano player no no that person had to study that person had to practice that person had to put in long hours until noise became music yes so each of us are unique and if we then special I make sacred our time study practice study practice study practice study practice then what looks like we're special it's really we just specialized our attention yes and allow for the gift to emerge you know sometimes people will see me speaking and they'll say you made that look so easy you know you must be specialized how many you yes meditation and prayer and study and surrender and sacrifice and going through dark night of the soul all of that to be able to stand up and say a few words yeah you know so I would just add to everyone that they're unique yeah they're lawful they're significant they have meaning God as a meaning making machine everyone has meaning and there's no one that is exempted mm-hmm from the abundance the prosperity the well-being the wellness the intelligence the love the joy the Bliss no one is exempted from that but we're at the end of one stage of evolution and we're at the apex of the next stage of the above our lucien and the next stage is we have to participate in our own unfolding under the old stage of evolution species evolved based on external weather conditions but now we evolved based on our own participation in our own thinking process our own choosing process our own spiritual practice so so let me just say this a person can evolve their life in one year you can actually change your life what year you can be a different person if you study and practice study and practice done you practice that's people are jump for joy for that absolutely what I'm not a victim to what's happened to me I'm not a victim to my circumstance I can actually change my life in one year
