The Soul's path and Self-Realization

Originally posted August 2009

 

The Soul is that part of you in eternal bliss. To rejoin the Soul in entirety we must find that eternal bliss within. This comes through Self-Realization.

Self-Realization is a big word that means many things. It is following your heart and intuition in all situations. It is being thankful for all blessings. It is being thankful for each challenge in life, as it is another opportunity to grow. It is satisfaction with the smallest blessings in life, as all are blessings to you and you are blessed. It is happiness in giving. It is unconditional love in the service of all beings. It is found through universal loving service. It is found in helping all those within your life situations as much as you can help them.

It is the complete balancing of your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual bodies.

Here are some examples to balance yourself:

Physical: Exercise, Healthy diet with lots of fruits and vegetables, Enjoy nature outside, volunteer to help others- example: monsoon or hurricane season- distribute food and water to those who need it

Emotional: Have the strength to comfort a grieving friend, become a counselor, express your heart-felt gratitude to all of your friends, volunteer to help a nurse in a hospital, visit the elderly and give them gifts of flowers

Mental: Read the books of Wisdom, always keep learning, learn a new hobby, realize there are infinite things to do, release your limitations and keep learning

Spiritual: Commune with the Source of our universe. Meditate. Pray for those in need. Learn energy healing.

There is always much to learn when it comes to Self-Realization. There are infinite Paths to get there. The important thing is satisfaction. Satisfaction is what comes before bliss. To be satisfied with your life simply do. Do all that you can to be satisfied in your service to others and God.

I admit the road to my awakening and self-realization has been hard. I feel like I've been in through the fire and back again. Within each challenge lies an opportunity. This has been the opportunity to make me stronger and more self-realized.

I was born into a family that kept moving every few years. I never had lasting friends. Then, following schooling I still did not know what I wanted to do with my life. So I decided service would be the route. Yes, my soul knew service was the route but because I wasn't listening to my heart I made a few mistakes. My personality, in its quest for happiness thought money was the answer. So I joined the military. Of course money wasn't the answer to happiness which I learned later. I had inner drive so I became an officer in the military. I served for eight long years. I was sent to the middle east not understanding why I was there. I came back and met my wife. I was amazed at her emotional depth. I was very mental. There was much to learn, however hard it was. Through my wife's interests- Osho, Kundalini, Reiki she was able to open me to new endeavors. She arranged a reiki treatment. I resisted. I didn't want to go to some crazy new age people. I was very judgmental. She accompanied me. I went for a reiki treatment and it was the best experience. I learned to accept the new age community and release my judgment and ego. Later I became a reiki master as this interested something within me.

Eventually after eight years I received permission to leave the military. This was through deep prayer, sending reiki, and a lot of hard work. I've been through a large international move and have a daughter now. I've learned many different healing modalities as a quest to better myself in service to others.

Self-Realization is not easy. I am still working on myself. I am strengthening my emotional depth but actively counseling my friends and family. Listening with my heart not mind. My friend's wife recently died of cancer. I did all that I could to comfort him in his grief. I said and wrote condolences. We talked through things. I gave him something to lean on. My family and I volunteered to help clean his house and we found someone to help him with all the paperwork during these life changes. If you don't stick together and help each other, how will you make this world a better place? This is my lesson in compassionate action. Do all you can to be compassionate to others in the here and now. What you sow, so shall you reap.

I am performing universal loving service by offering everything I have learned in Reiki to everyone on Lightworkers Healing Federation and Attuneshare so they can pass the torch onto others and continue the cycle of loving service. I am still learning divine expression. I have recently begun the creation of my very first own reiki modality and manual that can be spread freely to others. This was a long-time dream of mine. I connected with a friend who writes manuals and a new journey has begun. I am believing in myself. Now it is a reality.

Abundance is begining to flow in naturally. People are remembering what you do for them. Now I am receiving free attunements from friends to release my Karma and "Lack" from past lives. Now I am getting more free by the day. I am expressing all those things in my life that used to be fears. This is how one can enter that place of bliss. You are satisfied with life because you gave it your all. Your heart is tired because you have expressed as much as you can express. You don't have any regrets. You've worked on yourself and you are free.

Now, I have just purchased special necklaces for my friends to wear to connect to higher vibrations. They do not know these will be coming in the mail. This is my gratitude to them for all they have done over the years. I am doing this despite having a few small bills to pay. I really don't have the money but I have faith. God has told me everything will be perfect for me. This is a lesson on faith. I am having faith and already I am receiving donations to pay these bills. This is amazing. Release your fears to God. Surrender to God. Let God guide your life, and you will be miraculously surprised. You will release your lack feelings and they will automatically be replaced with abundance, because you just surrendered to the source of all abundance. Having faith is another step towards self-realization. Time is short, do you want to spend time worrying about what you could have done? Or do you want to be satisfied that you did all you could do in your power to make the world a better place?

In the past, I had a dream of creating a garden to beautify my living area. I admit, I am not rich, I live in an apartment complex with 6 other people. I had a desire to learn gardening. Others told me, what do you want to learn gardening for- you live in an apartment? I said to beautify this place and spread the harvest to my neighbors. I followed my dreams despite the resistance and went to the weeds outside and dug up the grass and created a garden. Now I am sharing the harvest with my neighbors and all are happy.

Have faith, believe in yourself and anything can be done. Be satisfied with your life and do all that you can in your power, in the circumstances you are in, to make everything better. This is the secret toward Self-Realization and eternal bliss.

"Love thy neighbour as yourself" - Jesus

"Hands that help are holier than lips that pray"- Sai Baba

"The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past, nor to worry about the future, but to live the present moment wisely and earnestly." -Buddha
