Staying Centered to Spirit during Times of Challenge

4/7/2020

0 Comments

 
During times of challenge, it is even more important for us to be centered and grounded to our inner Spirit. With the many shifts and changes we are all experiencing in our daily routines and lives at this time, our ever-present true Self--our Higher Spirit Self, the calm and quiet presence within--is always there to teach us, lead us, and show us the way. It is during times like these that it is vital to  listen to and follow the guidance of Spirit, our Inner Teacher of Peace.

This is such an opportune time to commit to and deepen the cultivation of the practice of presence in our daily lives. In regards to the coronavirus pandemic, yes we each take the necessary precautions to keep ourselves, families, and others safe and healthy, and do what feels best and comfortable for us in the outer world.

​At the same time, at the level of the mind, our inner world, we can choose how we look at things and what we would like to focus on. We choose what we want to listen to or focus on from outside sources and what we communicate and express, and also on what we choose to focus upon from within as well. And we can look at it all with compassion, love, and understanding. We can move through this global experience and each and every one of life's experiences (there really is no difference) through presence, peace, and with Spirit.
Staying Centered to Spirit During Times of Challenge by Maya Bringas

Spirit is readily available to support us at all times and in all ways. There is no problem that is too big or too small and Spirit recognizes that all problems are really the same and that there is always just one solution. LOVE.

There is a lovely lesson (# 21) from A Course in Miracles, 
"I am determined to see things differently." We can always choose how to view any situation, problem, person, the self, or anything. We can look at it through the vision of Spirit (love) or through fear (ego/judgement).

When there are times that I observe that I am not feeling complete peace, I remind myself of this statement from A Course in Miracles. When I remember that I can see the particular situation differently, choose how I want to feel and at the same time I release any judgement in how I am feeling and what is occurring, a shift occurs right away. The weight is lifted when I choose to see it all through love instead.

By being willing and determined to see things differently, we open ourselves to Spirit to gently take us by the hand, and lead us to seeing things differently, through peace, love, and harmony. We no longer choose to feel stuck. We can ask Spirit to help us to see whatever is causing us any distress, through Love and divine Truth. As we do so, judgement falls away and we remember once again who we, everyone, and everything truly is. Perfect, whole, complete, divine. That is what we are.


This is truly a time of transformation on the planet when we all have the opportunity to whole-heartedly make the choice to stay anchored to our true Self/Spirit, to release judgement and replace it with compassion for ourselves and all others, and to be truly helpful. Let us make the choice to stay committed to living our magnificence!  
In Oneness,
Maya Bringas

I See You

1/18/2019

0 Comments

 
When I look at you I See me. I See your Light and so I See the Light in me. To See you is to recognize myself. The Light we share. The Light as One. I See the love that is your spirit. It's who you are. What you are. And as I See the beauty of your spirit, I affirm the beauty that is my spirit. For we are no different. We are the same. The appearance may differ, but the Light, the Love within, could be no different. I See you for who you are. And so I acknowledge who I AM.

Our identities may differ, but we are not identities. We are formless, united with the One. One Heart, one Love, one remarkable Divine Light. Let us soar in our united true form. Past all illusions, higher and higher. Lighter we become, immersed in the One. Beyond time, beyond space. We are eternal in the One. Bliss is our nature, bliss is our right. Oh how amazing it is to be this simplicity. No struggle, no fear. Just pure delight. In joy to be and simply be free.


Home is here. Home is within. For the One everlasting shining Light is what we are in. Happiness, joy, love, and peace. That is what we behold within. In Oneness in Source forever we dwell, let us remember this well. For this is where we are, this is our Truth. May we simply be and set ourselves free.
Inspirational Poetry by Maya Bringas, Nonduality, Enlightenment, Awakening, A Course in Miracles, Inner Peace
When we experience the world through the true Vision of the Higher Spirit Self, we experience life with deep meaning, purpose, and from the awareness of who we really are, which is divine love.
In Oneness,

Differentiating Between Intuition and the Ego

11/1/2018

0 Comments

 
Our intuition is guidance from the Higher Spirit Self. The mind has two parts/thought systems. Spirit is one and is the voice of love. Spirit knows only our divine Truth that we are perfect love and that only love is real. The other part of the mind, the ego, is illusory. The ego is not an entity nor a thing, but rather just the idea that we are separate from our Source. Its thought system is fear-based and is totally flawed as we are not separate from Source. The ego is the inner critic/false self which judges everyone and everything. Abundance, unity, and wholeness are part of Spirit’s thought system. Lack, separation, and limitation are part of the ego’s thought system.   

Since the part of the mind we choose to follow at any given moment effects how we perceive ourselves, others, and the world, listening to Spirit’s guidance (our intuition) enables us to experience and enjoy life from Spirit’s true vision of peace, love, non-judgement, harmony, and freedom.
​

How do you know if specific thoughts and ideas in your mind are guidance from Spirit or the ego? When they are from Spirit, they are loving, gentle, kind, and uplifting in nature. Any guidance that Spirit offers always result in positive outcomes for our well-being and anyone else concerned. Spirit gives us solutions on how to forgive and eliminate fear and judgement, and brings us clarity. We may feel a burst of joy when we receive inspiring ideas. If the thoughts and ideas are unloving, judgemental, or condemn anyone including the self, then they are from the ego.

The guidance received from Spirit may not always necessarily be what one wants to hear at the time. If there are expectations of what it should be, to match what you think you want, this is judgement and a control mechanism of the ego. If Spirit’s guidance is then ignored, it may lead to some confusion and doubt.

If unsure if the guidance is from Spirit or the ego, you can ask for clarification from Spirit and wait awhile. Let go of thinking about it for some time and to clear the mind, trusting that Spirit will bring you the clarification in divine timing. When we spend time being in silence and the mind becomes still, the intuitive guidance comes through clearly. Also, Spirit’s guidance will most likely stay the same a few days later, but that from the ego can change, even often.

We have so many thoughts that arise in the mind each day. Each moment, we always have the choice which inner voice to listen to. When I made the choice to listen to and follow only Spirit and have stayed committed to doing so everyday, the voice of the ego became much weaker. Like a muscle that gets stronger when we exercise it, when we are dedicated to listening to and following our intuition, the stronger our communication with Spirit and it becomes our clear, dominant, guiding light. ​

Forgiveness Sets You Free

8/30/2018

0 Comments

 
Forgiveness is a gift we give ourselves and it sets us free. When we choose forgiveness, we release the past, and can enjoy living in the eternal now.

Judgement takes many forms. Blaming others or the self for one’s experiences, believing the self or others to be inadequate, guilty, or undeserving, and making comparisons, are just a few examples of judgement. Love and judgement cannot coexist. Only one of these is active at any given moment. Forgiveness is the means to the relinquishment of judgement.

When we truly forgive, we do so at the level of the mind where it is needed, since all arises from the mind. By forgiving the self, another person, or a situation, we are not indicating that a specific behavior or action is ok, but rather we see through the illusion of the world and its seeming separate identities and stories, to the love that is truly there beyond all form. The non-dualistic spiritual principles of A Course in Miracles teaches that the path to inner peace and love is through this true form of forgiveness. All are innocent, and only the love that we are, is real.

We can always, at any moment, make the choice to love, and abandon judgement. Everyone is doing the best they can based on their state of awareness about who they really are. Those who lack self-love and are unhappy deep down, can extend to others only what they feel for themselves and what they believe to be true. Forgiveness though, does not mean that one should tolerate or be subjected to the unloving nature of a situation or behavior of another.

A very helpful tool that you can use is to bring your conscious awareness outside the illusion/world and to perceive a situation as an observer looking in. This makes it easier to detach from a situation and bring your awareness to the stillness within. Like watching a movie, you observe the characters with relatively no strong attachment. Taking such a perspective when observing the stories happening in your life, results in a greater understanding and compassion for the various characters.

Spirit, our inner teacher of peace, always assists with forgiveness, we just need to ask. Our true essence is light, free, and unconditional love. Forgiveness uplifts your vibration and permanently disconnects you from suffering. Nothing on the level of form, outside of the mind, needs to be done, unless there is specific guidance from Spirit to do so. Forgiveness and commitment to the daily practice of non-judgement accelerates the undoing of the ego, which cannot survive without judgement.

Forgiveness is an act of nurturing unconditional self-love. Forgiving another is really forgiving yourself. When the painful life stories and characters are forgiven, whatever was based on divine, unconditional love, always remains. Those that were not rooted in divine love naturally fall away on their own. This creates an opening for more of that which is based on love to come into your life.

You are Already There, at Home with God

4/15/2018

A little inspiration...
"Seek within to hear the Voice
The one that will bring you near
To who, what, you truly are
For you are already there.
 
You may think you are far
Or that you need do much to get you there
But know in Truth, you are already there.
 
Do not despair, look within to find yourself there
The place of eternal peace.
Enjoy the stillness, the silence within
Lift higher and higher, you are already there.
 
Immerse in the glorious, magnificent rays
Of God’s divine light.
Let it wash away your worries and cares
As you are reminded that all is well.
 
The dream of separation
Begins to fade
You remember, you awake
No longer in fear.
 
You are home where you never left
You now choose never to forget
For you are awake.
 
You will always remember
No matter what happens
That all is okay
Forever safe you are
At home with your Source.
 
In bliss and delight
You forever shine bright
If comes a haze
On certain days
Go within to hear the gentle Voice
That will remind you again
That all is well.
 
For in Source you rest
And can lay down the quest.
The Voice of Spirit
The Voice for God
Will keep you on track
And always have your back.
 
Release, let go
Let yourself flow
Breathe in
Breathe out
You are already there."
​
~Maya Bringas

You Are Divine LOVE

You Are Divine LOVE, by Maya Bringas, A Course in Miracles unconditional love
This article was published in the February 2018 issue of Sibyl Magazine: For the Spirit and Soul of Woman.​

Your true essence is the unconditional love of Source. That is what you are. What we all are as we are One with Source. There is no separate you nor I, for we are united together as One being, One light, One child of Source. The love of Source is always unconditional. There is never any judgement, nor condemnation. You have always been and forever are so dearly and completely loved. Source knows only the divine Truth of who you are which is LOVE.

When you judge yourself or something or someone else, your perception is not based on divine spiritual Truth. Such judgement needs to be lovingly and gently released so that true perception is revealed. Only love is real. Anything that is not based on unconditional love is not, because Source (and you), are only unconditional love. It is so vital to be loving, kind, gentle, patient, and compassionate with yourself. As you do, you embody your true divine essence and enable the falsities to fall away. All done with more ease and grace as you nurture your well-being with love along the way.

See yourself and everything in your world as Source sees all. See with LOVE. When you do, you see past the false illusions of the ego’s fear to what is really there. Peace, love, unity, harmony. See everyone as the divine light that they are and you honor and affirm to yourself the divine light that you are.

“Child of Light, you know not that the light is in you. Yet you will find it through it’s witnesses, for having given light to them they will return it. Each one you see in light brings your light closer to your awareness. Love always leads to love.” A Course in Miracles (T-13.VI.10:1-4).

You can connect with your sacred heart within daily to align to the divine love that you are. The following exercise will help you to really feel and embody this love. Place your hands on your heart chakra in the center of your chest. Close your eyes and take a few slow, deep, gentle breaths. As you breathe in, allow your belly to expand outwards as you affirm to yourself in your mind, or aloud, “I AM the love that flows in through me.” And as you exhale, draw your belly inwards and affirm, “I AM the love that flows out through me.” Feel the connection with your sacred heart within as this loving energy expands. Continue breathing in and out with these affirmations until you feel immersed with this glorious love that resides within your sacred heart. You are a beacon of love. You are nourishing your whole being with your divine love as you also extend it out into your world. Close this exercise by affirming, “I AM Love, I AM Love, I AM Love.” You can start each morning with this short exercise, to help you to stay centered in your heart throughout the day.​
