HOW DOES ONE COME TO "KNOW THYSELF"?
What is the first thing one should DO?


Put aside all pre-conceived notions; reduce resistance; find a quiet inner space and LISTEN.

Mary



The reason why people generally do not know their true Self is because they unconsciously create an inner environment which is not conducive to the unfoldment of the Self. This world is in the habit of conditioning its young ones to self-judment, self-criticism, self-castigation, self-hatred. This attitude of being forever displeased with ourselves, finding ourselves unworthy, unloving, deficient in some way is the way we cut our connection to our inner Self.

FORGIVENESS of oneself, for whatever one has done, or not done, that one does not appreciate is essential. Followed by UNCONDITIONAL SELF-ACCEPTANCE and SELF-LOVE, in an overall attitude of SELF-RESPECT and COMPASSION. These are truly magical lubricants for the opening up and the unfoldment of the Self, for the knowing of the self.

The states that keep us alienated from our souls are numerous; we have carried these as imprints in our subconscious minds for a very, very, very long time. They are shame, guilt, supressed pain, frustration, resentment, anger, hate, fear, self-doubt,sadness, despair, etc. We must learn to dissolve each one of these states now. It is vitally important that we now move beyond these old chains of unconscious limitation. Any step in this direction is an eternal gift you give to yourself and to the Universal Consciosness which is cleared, as we clear ourself.

(I could go on but I do not wish to be inappropriately long-winded. If you wish, I could contribute to your Newsletter along these lines. I have read some of Wayne's notes and found that the ideas that find their expression through him are identical to those that I make myself be the mouthpeace (-piece) for. I have also been awakened and educated by Spirit and I know the great validity of what you say. No, you need never doubt your sanity. You are a beautiful and bright light in this world of pain and confusion. Your commitment to bringing like-minded souls together is wonderful. I honor you. I have been also motivated by the same impulses. I teach SELF-EMPOWERMENT and just a few weeks ago I started a healing-circle where we work in consciousness on healing the planet and the collective consciousness of man. It is work that is tremendously uplifting that I know is mine to do. It is unspeakably beautiful and profound what is happening in the world at this time, notwithstanding the external appearance of deterioration and chaos.

You are a wonderful and wonderous soul -a particle of I AM, but also I AM coming into full awareness of Itself in the physical. It is one glorious I AM, though most of it expressing through human consciousness cannot as yet find free expression.

Continue your wonderful work.

I honor you. I bless you with the Light and Love that I AM.
I am Jasmine in Montreal.

May the light and blessings of the Highest be always showered upon you!

Review events in your life as far back as you remember, and while doing so, consider how you FEEL about them now, and BE HONEST with yourself. Also, notice the things about yourself that you do not like, because society says that they are not likeable, and be honest with yourself about how YOU really feel about them.

example: A woman who never liked to wear dresses, condemns her own femininity based on society saying she doesnt DRESS like a female should. The woman can be honest with herself and say, I dont like to wear dresses and that is OKAY.

So, review your life, and then use the same analysis on your present life as it unfolds, whereby you create yourself to be who you WANT to be, according to your own WILL, and not society's or any other's doctrines no matter how old, nor how many believe the same... what is important is your will and how you feel about things.

love yourself.

Get quiet and turn off the chattering mind. Meditation helps.

Make KNOWING THYSELF the #1 priority in your life ... no exceptions. Then FOCUS on this task as much as possible every moment that you can. The bottom line is that you get what you focus on. Until you take the step to FREELY CHOOSE to KNOW THYSELF, you have not even begun to walk the path to SELF-knowledge and even more important, AWARENESS OF YOURSELF AS SPIRIT NOW!
