10 Steps to Contact Your Inner Being

Each of us is connected with the Divine. The Higher Self within us far transcends the understanding of our conscious minds. This is the power that all the great geniuses and teachers have ascended to. Also, it is the place of magic and miracles in our lives. Here are the steps to get it back:

1. The first step is to Believe that you have a Higher Being who communicates! Then expect that this communication will improve each day, as you focus diligently on inner growth. Without these two essential prerequisites, it is difficult to achieve anything in life, even at the physical level. These two qualities are essential to domestic growth. So set a Goal to achieve contact with the Higher Self, review that goal every day and keep your purpose with determination until success is yours.
2. Transform Your Worldview. We are primarily educated in a materialistic world view that denies the role of the Spirit. To establish a close contact with spiritual realms, we need our entire being - conscious and subconscious - congruent with our goal. In any activity or game, you have to set the rules and how you play. Contact with your Higher Self is the same. Therefore, written or teachers looking to expand your understanding of the universe, primarily as a realm of Consciousness and Mind.
3. Aloneness. Find time for yourself regularly, which can be totally alone. It is preferable to a quiet place. Just sit quietly with no expectations. Do nothing. This may seem awkward and strange at first. Persist. You are giving time and space to the inner voice for listening. It will either happen during that quiet time, or during the day's events. A synchronistic event might occur, someone telling you exactly what you need to hear, or you'll get a flash of intuition. All the great geniuses of history have been having a regular time of silence and solitude for themselves. You should too.
4. Meditation. In meditation, you work to discipline your mind and silence the internal chatter that always fills it. You create a pure vessel to receive the Higher Self. Following your breath is an excellent meditation discipline, as is gazing steadily in a flame (Tratak). Or visualize a golden ball of light in your Solar Plexus that fills your whole body with energy and healing. There are many practices that you can study and use.
5. Journal. Record your feelings, emotions, dreams and insights every day in a journal. This will help you get into closer contact with your deep intuition. You can ask questions to your Higher Self here, and then record any answers or insight you receive. If you do this regularly with belief and expectation, you will get the answers you need.
6. Internal Dialogue. Drive a regular inner dialogue with your Higher Self. Over the next 40 days, decide to stay in touch throughout the day. Tell your Higher Self "I know you're there and want to meet and get attention. Please guide my life." Do not worry if this dialogue is entirely one way at first. Remember that you've been out of contact for decades. It takes time to clear the cobwebs! Persist with this inner dialogue as if talking to a friend, talking, asking questions, sharing your hopes and begin to hear the answers.
7. Life Lessons. See life as a Mystery School. All your life events, situations and people, have been structured precisely in order to teach you exactly what you need to know now. Take life as if all creation were conspiring to your benefit! When something happens in your life, for better or worse, ask yourself what is the lesson for you. Even unpleasant people or situations have been deliberately placed there as a challenge to help you grow. When you start seeing your life as a work in which you're playing the lead role, the Higher Self will become increasingly evident in your life. Record your findings in your journal. 
8. Dreams. Expect your Higher Self to speak to you in dreams. Before bed have some stretch and relax your body completely. Ask your Higher Self something and wait for the answer. When you wake up, remember what you can from your dreams and write in your journal. If you're not used to remember your dreams, this will take time and persistence. However, with patience, you will begin to remember your dreams AND receive answers from your Higher Self. 
9. Consciousness. Focus on living more and more in the present, in the NOW. When you're eating, be aware you're eating. When you walk, know that you are walking. The only real moment is Now. The past is gone forever and the future has not yet arrived. Therefore, work on clearing your mind of concerns, illusions and extrapolations. Limit the chatter of the mind and create a space for the Higher Self.
10. Patience! Remember, you have spent your entire life without contact with the Source. Therefore, it takes time to learn how to re-establish contact. Everything worthwhile takes time and practice. Be vigilant and practice these steps every day, and you'll get the answers you need. Remember: The Higher Self wants to be in contact. In fact, just talking to him as someone separate from you is contradictory. The Higher Self is you! Your True Self. So get in touch with you!

Cosmic Harmony - The State of Enlightenment

Source: http://www.cosmicharmony.com/

"The Universe has been called the Cosmic Form of the Divine. All the beings you see here are mani-festations of the Cosmic Form. This means that all are inherently Divine."

What is enlightenment? What is that state of Cosmic Consciousness, the ultimate awareness called variously - Enlightenment, Nirvana, Satori, Samadhi, Self-Realization, Rapture, Salvation, Ascension, Unity Consciousness, Voidness, and many other terms by many various religions? It is the goal of life, the ultimate destination of every individualized being. It is brought about when the individual personality ascends beyond the illusionary perception of self separateness to merge in the Universal Self from which it originated so very long ago. Spiritual evolution towards this goal takes place over ages, but the final ascent of Spirit can happen in an instant of time. 


The gate was opened to me ... in one quarter of an hour I saw and knew more than if I had been many years together at a University ... I saw it as in a great deep in the internal; for I had a thorough view of the Universe, as a complex moving fullness wherein all things are couched and wrapped up. (Jacob Boehme, Mystic) 


Our true nature is not limited ... it is like the vast ocean. ... When we touch Supreme Consciousness through meditation, then we are boundless, we are everywhere, we are eternal. (Amma Karunamayi) ***God-Consciousness is 10 million times more blissful than sexual experience. (Sage Ramakrishna Paramahamsa) 


To the enlightened one, the world as he knew it ceases to be, and everything now stands enmantled (shrouded) by a shining vesture of divine effulgence, hitherto invisible to his normal vision. (Swami Chidananda, Light Fountain Divine Life Society) 


If I were to spend years and years imagining how to invent anything so beautiful, I could not do it, and I do not even know how I should try, for, even in its whiteness and radiance alone, it exceeds all that we can imagine. (Saint Teresa of Avila) 


Everything that occurred to me while I was in this state of consciousness was vastly beyond anything that I had ever experienced and yet at the same time it was familiar - as if I had always known of its existence. Even now when I try to describe something so beautiful I am mute with awe. There are no words in any language to describe such grandeur. (Anonymous, Unbounded Light) 




How to Achieve the Goal? 


How does one proceed from the normal human condition to the goal of enlightenment? The easiest way to achieve this Ultimate Goal is to follow in the footsteps of those who have passed this way already. The sages, saints and ascended masters of all times have found this path - sometimes through their own unaided efforts, but more often by following the written or spoken guidance of a previous Teacher or Guru. The enlightened master sees the grand achievement and encourages others to find the immense treasure within the reach of every sincere seeker. They point out the path, warn of dangers, offer encouragement, and elucidate the methods of advancing on the way. 


Short of direct guidance by a living enlightened one (a rare piece of good fortune), there is no better way than to read the lives of saints and pay close attention to their words. These powerful beings are alert on the other side, watching for the seekers, waiting to help and remove hindrances in the path of all those aspiring to the higher life in spirit. 


Read their stories. Draw forth their grace. Create that subtle link of consciousness with them. Their photographs are full of power; their words highly instructive; their stories saturated with the essence of enlightenment. Meditate on their actions and you will approach their subtle perfection. 


This is a very special time during which spiritual evolution is being immensely accelerated. Powerful beings are working behind the veil with all who are consciously cooperating to change Earth and bring us into a radically new pattern of human attainment. Never before, even small efforts on the spiritual path have been so greatly rewarded. So, do not miss this rare opportunity. It may not come again for a long time. As it says in the Upanishads, Arise! Awake! From this very day vow to become the Self that you really are and join the army of lightworkers that are even now transforming the planet.

Write a new script for the great play that is your life and then LIVE it!

Hilarion’s Weekly Message 1 January 2012 

Beloved Ones, let the mantra for these times be the word “focus”. No matter what is occurring in the World around you, focus your Love on it, bless it and shower this Love whenever and wherever you may walk. Know that you are each representatives of the Divine and that your every thought, word, action and deed has become most important in the bringing in of the New Earth reality. There will be many in the days that lie ahead that will try to dis-tract you from this focus and it falls upon you to remember your vision and your purpose for being here at this time. 


Find a way to spend as much of your free time as possible in a quiet environment that will allow you to focus on your goals of personal and Planetary Ascension. This is the time to take action and the days of passively waiting for others to come to the rescue are now over and done with. YOU are the Creators, Beloved Ones. All that you have accomplished and overcome to get you to this point is now to be put into practical use in service for the highest good of All. It is crucial that your Light and your feelings of Love and compassion, daily reach out into the people and places around you. 


Try to hold onto the feelings of joy and bliss that the New Year energies bring in. When you feel these powerfully uplifting moments, take note of these and learn to bring these feelings up within you at will throughout the rest of your year of incredible changes. Believe in the miraculous and watch the wondrous synchronicities as they begin to occur. Open your hearts to ever greater downloads of Light, Love, upgrades and attunements and always remember to ask and intend these, both morning and night. 


It is time to bask in these uplifting and empowering feelings that the new energies are helping to invoke within you and as you do this, you invite more of these feelings to be divinely attracted to you. The Universe will ensure that you be on the receiving end of many blessings that are waiting to come forth and become an integral part of your life. As changes take place in every part of Human society, the blessings that come forth for you will multiply in their appearances in each of your lives. Enjoy each moment, live in the moment, focus, focus, focus! Let all that happens flow through you and around you, while you stay in the fluidity of each moment. 


Allow the Love that is within you to shine through you in all that you feel, say and do. Bless every happening that takes place in your lives and express your gratitude constantly for all that you are given. By choosing the state of Joy, you allow more grace to enter your Being and your daily lives. Capture this feeling of Joy and embellish it often by your expressions of it in all that you do. Feel joy, BE joy, radiate joy in total and sublime purity and innocence, believing in the magic that comes through because of it, for it is not naivety to cultivate this essence within you, it is a power that infuses everything in your life with blessings that multiply. 


Set the tone for the rest of this year by the great power created by your determination and intention to BE your highest and greatest potential and watch it unfold for you in wondrous ways. Dare to dream BIG, dare to do all that you have longed to do and somehow never got around to do. Believe in your own value, uniqueness and worth and see yourself as a Master in all that you do. Write a new script for the great play that is your life and then LIVE it! If you can dream it, you can BE it! All is waiting to manifest and accommodate your deepest desires. Claim it each day and watch it unfold in magical ways. 


Until next week…. 


I AM Hilarion
