Ego's Dirty Little Trick--
Stealing Abundance |
by
Kris Raphael |
Abundance is our divine
right. To see unlimited abundance all we need to
do is to gaze at the infinate stars and solar
systems in the sky. Each star has their planets.
Each planet has its abundant elements. The
extent of abundance in creation is beyond what
our minds can imagine.
If abundance is our divine right and we can see
unlimited abundance in creation, why don't we
experience it? The reason why we don't
experience abundance as it was meant to be
experienced is due to a dirty little trick of
the ego.
What is ego? Many have attempted to identify and
define ego. But, it is really quite simple. Ego
is the body of pretension. Pretension is defined
in the dictionary as: "The act of pretending; a
false appearance or action intended to deceive."
This is related to the word pretend. The ego
pretends it is something it is not. The biggest
thing it pretends to be is self. It pretends it
is who we are.
Ego is born in us at a very young age. As a
child, we feel a certain way. However, our
parents do not approve of how we feel, so we
change (pretend) we feel a different way. In
this moment ego is born. It is continually
reinforced as we grow up. We naturally act in a
specific way. However, our parents, teachers, or
peers do not approve of how we act. So we change
ourselves (pretension) and act a different way
to please others, eventhough it may not be how
self wants to act.
There are many characteristics of ego, and in
this article I will name a few that are
pertinant to how the ego steals our abundance.
One characteristic of ego is that is makes us
feel separate from other humans. Humanity is
like our body. We as individuals are like the
toes and fingers of the body. If we (a finger)
look at another finger ego will tell us that we
are separate. Being separate we may attack and
cause pain to the other finger. Because the ego
has us convinced we are separate, we do not feel
the pain we inflict on the other finger.
However, the body (all of humanity) feels the
pain because the fingers are part of a whole.

The ego,
through convincing us that we are separate,
tells us we must compete for what we have. Why?
Because if we do not get it first, someone else
will. However, Spirit will tell us that we are
all connected. Like the body, we share the same
blood. From the eyes of Spirit it is silly for
one finger of the body to try to hoard the blood
of the body. In its natural state the body (our
physical body, or the body of humanity) has
enough blood for all.
This is the ego's trick. By tricking us into
believing that we are separate from other humans
and creation, it causes us to hoard what we
have. It causes to compete and fight for things.
It causes us to over value the things we have,
and to covet what others have. When we do this,
we stop the natural flow of abundance. We may
collect many things, the essence of abundance
leaves them. They are no longer fulfilling to us
and we constantly need more. It is a
never-ending spiral down.
Spirit would tell us different. Spirit would
tell us, when we have something we value, share
it with others. Do this and what we share is
returned to us ten fold. Why?Because we are
tapping into the natural laws of creation which
are based on the fact that we are all
interconnected, part of a creater whole. By
being inclusive instead of exclusive, we move
into the natural universal flow of creation.

 Guide
Post: Universal Laws |
|
|
In life there are
many things that demand our time and attention. Life brings
us problems and challenges and one reason for this is so
that we can find, practice and become a part of Universal
Laws. One such law is the Universal Law that we must always make ourSelves our first priority.
Since many of the Ask The Guide questions and the answers
from the Guides revolve around this Law, we want to take a
more in-depth look into this law.
Most people continue
to struggle with life because they have either fallen prey
to the illusion of life, making work, relationships or
something else their first priority. On the flip side, there
are those who make their egos their priorities in life,
thinking that they deserve to have anything they like. In
either case, our Authentic Selves are not the priority in
life.
When we live an
unbalanced life of priorities we are greatly challenged to
see what is real and what is an illusion in life. This is
when we misperceive that our lives would be better if those
around us changed, wishing that our neighbor would be nicer
or that our spouse would behave the way we want them to.
This kind of thinking and feeling is mis-focused: we think
that others need to change. Instead of focusing on ourSelves
and seeing what we need to change in us, we blind ourselves
to what is real by thinking that the illusion, which
includes people in our lives and life circumstances, should
be the ones to change. With our focus on others, or the
illusion, we put ourselves outside of our Authentic Selves.
Once we begin to see
more clearly that we need to focus on ourselves, we bring
power and energy into ourSelves. Now we can begin to make
positive shifts and changes in our lives. As we apply these
changes we are applying the Universal Law by making our
Authentic Selves the priority.
Change is not an
easy thing for us, as humans, but it is an intricate part of
every aspect of life. Everything changes every second,
including us. We need to remain flexible and ever-changing,
otherwise we stagnate. Stagnation is death, evidenced by the
stagnation of any living thing on our planet that stops
moving, breathing and living, as these all require change.
Make your Authentic
Self your first priority. Be aware of what problems and
challenges you are experiencing in your life, as these are
seeking a change. Apply these needed changes so that you
are working with this Universal Law. As you do so, you come
to know and embody the Universal Law yourself, connecting
you more deeply with all that is.
Love
and Light,
K2
(Kris & Kalyn)

Unlock the Door
to Integrity - Choice is the Key |
by
Matthew Roethel |
|
I have
been sitting tonight with my life, my spiritual path, and my
lack of integrity.
I am recalling K2's (Kristopher & Kalyn Raphael) room in the
hotel on the power journey (Sacred Frequencies Journey 2004).
During one of the sessions, we looked at being stuck on our
paths. As each person was called on in turn to share, the
question always came around to what is keeping us from our
higher self. The answer always came back to choice.
I have been choosing to live my life in fragments. Sometimes I
am spiritual; sometimes I am ego. Sometimes I listen to my
inner guidance and align to that guidance, sometimes I listen to
my parasite (ego) and live in my wounding. I have been busy
clearing garbage out of my life and creating a positive energy
space for my bodies. I have been busy living in my addictions,
hole-filling.
Why? Why do I choose to live part of my life in alignment and
leave part of me behind? When I was a child, I did not have a
choice, I did not know any better, I was in the dream of the
planet. I know better now. So why do I choose to stay broken
into pieces?
I am recalling Thursday night on the Power Journey. I was
pacing in my room, feeling a lot of fear about the upcoming
processes at Chichen Itza and actually thinking about checking
out of the hotel and coming back to Nevada. It was a fork in
the road - the uncertainty continued through the night and into
the morning. Why didn't I leave? I made a choice to live.
I got on the bus to Chichen Itza. We did a courage process at
the ball court; we did a "will" process at the statue of Chac
Mool. I can remember reaching a point where I made another
choice - I made a choice that I was not going to go back to
Nevada the same person I was when I left. I made a choice that
I was going to release my ego, and my false self. I received
the guidance and energy that I needed to do just that. And I
came home and have been taking actions that manifest that choice
in my daily life.
Opening that new energetic window of probability, I have
discovered a lot of wonderful stuff. I also opened a window on
more wounding and more opportunities for healing. And I opened
a window to feeling the pain of those wounds and going into
spaces in my life that are not comfortable. And I have been
dealing with those opportunities by falling back into some old
addictive behaviors - smoking and unhealthy eating among them.
Why would I choose to do that?
It is all part of the lesson of learning to live life.
Tonight, I am choosing again. I have the intent to live a life
in alignment with my Higher Self. I have the courage I need to
walk my spiritual path. I have the will needed to manifest my
intent. All I need to do, all I ever need to do, is to choose.
What is my Highest truth?
Every time I have quit smoking in the past, I have hung on to
things that I would need when I started again (how's that for
manifesting intent! ) I can be pretty creative with reasons -
"Oh, I have to keep these ashtrays because they are souvenirs
from Las Vegas hotels that have been torn down" - that's one
example. No more - it is not possible to be partially integral
- "Oh, okay - I will be integrated, but only part of me!" How
ridiculous is that?
So the ashtrays are gone; I had a ceremonial shredding of about
6 packs of cigarettes, I ceremoniously dumped all the stuff into
the big green metal crocodile that the sanitation company keeps
here for me. I choose to manifest integrity and healing without
judgment for yesterday. I do not smoke now, and it is always
now. Tomorrow never comes, so I don't need to worry about
that. Yesterday no longer exists, so I don't have to judge
myself for that.
I choose a life of integrity. I offer a prayer of gratitude for
the energy of the collective that powers my choices. Mitakuye
oyasin.
Love and Light,
Matthew

Closing the Door
on Regret |
by
Makayla Sadamori |
There is a common theme in class on parents who have passed
away and I want to contribute since this experience has been
up for me lately too.
In life we get energetically connected, or corded, by
energetic “cords” that link us to another’s energy--to those
we are close with, especially to lovers, parents and
children. At times being energetically corded is beneficial,
as we share energy when we come together to go through life
together in a marriage or as a family. At other times the
energetic cording is detrimental to us because we connect in
unhealthy ways, pulling and pushing on one another
complicating life further and often hurting those we love.
I have been recapitulating (a Toltec technique in which we
reclaim our energy) my father and I can see in how many
previously invisible, unhealthy ways I am tied to him. As I
shared in a student’s thread on the Toltec Mystery Forum,
one of these ties is through regret. I never told my father
I loved him and my affection was expressed in more "subtle"
ways. It was not a clear affection either but mixed with
other emotions. So now I have to work through the regret
too. I don't want to have to go through the same thing with
my mother so I will make sure I express to her, do all I
want to do for her and not indulge in the belief that she or
I will live forever.
Having dysfunctional energetic cording with my father, I
want to stress how important I feel it is to be at peace
with those closest to us. I am not saying that our
relationships should always be loving only - they may not be
that. But we should free ourselves from any attachments that
are not serving us and it is easier to do that when the
person is alive. We can actually DO that - act in
physicality. When they drop their bodies, the actual doing
and actions in life are finished and all that is left is
energetic attachments and cording, which makes it much more
difficult to resolve.
This is especially true with issues related to personal
power. I urge anyone who is made to feel uncomfortable or
put down by their families to look at this. This is your
chance to heal and break free now. If we have to try to
break free from these cords which bind us in life, keeping
us “in our place”, we should try to do it while our families
are still alive and before they transition out of their
bodies. We can gather our will and confront whomever we need
to confront to take back our own energy, an energy that, by
Universal law is meant to come back to us. Once they have
transitioned, dealing with this on an energetic level is so
much harder.
I need to find my peace with all the people around me -
husband, other relatives, friends - and express my love so I
won't chew on regret again. It is a must, not only for me
but for everyone. If I were you I would do more than my best
to solve any issues that are present in your life now, while
it is still easier to do so. It is important to bring
correction when it is still possible to correct in
physicality. Don’t hold back and postpone because of the
belief there is always tomorrow.
Use what is
happening in your life now to show you what to work on so
you won’t regret it when it turns into yesterday.
Love and Light,
Makayla

Always Do Your Best
by
Kalyn B Raphael
Notice that
this agreement is “Always Do Your Best”, not always be
perfect. Don’t try to be perfect; don’t feel like you
are supposed to be.
No
human is perfect. This life is not about trying to
become perfect. It is about healing, growing and
evolving.

Mastery
of Awareness - AUDIO
COURSE on CDs: An Alternative |
|
For
those who are unable to work directly with a teacher
or who just wish to supplement this work, Kris and
Kalyn have created an alternative, the Mastery of Awareness
Audio Course on CDs. The CDs include not only lessons,
but also energetic, meditative processes, and also live
commentary from Kris and Kalyn. You can listen to the
CDs in your car (not the meditative processes please)
or in the convenience of your home.
TESTIMONIAL: Here
are some testimonials. (Thank you Mel and Matthew!)
"Hi
K2!
I love the Mastery of Awareness CD's! Kris and Kalyn,
your commentaries have really helped. The lessons
on tape put them in a different dimension for me (out of
cyber space and into a voice)...one with more physical
aspects. I love your voices too. Anyway, I
listen to them in the car. . .so that makes me happy to
spend that time in the car this way.
with Love and Light,
Mel"
"The
CDs add a whole extra dimension. I like to learn by
reading, and when I listen to Kris and Kalyn on the
CDs, it takes me out of my pattern - which is what
this is all about. I have also never had much success
with meditation exercises that I read. The guided
exercises are a help to me, because I can release having
to remember what I read and just listen to Kris. Writing
about it makes my left big toe tingle for some reason.
 " ~Matthew
