Spiritual Addiction
From  http://www.lovespaceship.com
 
With over 20 years of spiritual work we have had the opportunity to witness many people confuse true spirituality with psychic visions, ecstatic experiences, mediumship misperceptions, dumping of emotions in the name of letting go, development of bigger spiritual egos, etc.  These illusions have brought us great concern because many are getting lost in their real desire for finding God.  We are here to help point the way to finding the truth within.
 
True spirituality requires letting go of all beliefs in order to tap into an emptiness that connects us to a source of energy within that is clear and knowing.  Once we connect with this pure potential of energy within, that rightfully belongs to every single being in existence, we can then allow this natural energy to flow unobstructed. Our true natural spiritual energy is always at peace, confident, trusting in life, joyful, humble, patient, and very simple. A serenity arises that delights in every aspect of life, with all it's ups and downs, without coming to any conclusion other than we are here to evolve, progress, heal and surrender.
 
How do we connect to this pure potential within? This pure potential of energy that flows in everything has only one agenda, to flow naturally and move everything that is not in balance out of the way.  Whatever arises that is in conflict with this natural flow needs to be addressed and it is up to you to take it in, analyze it, realize the truth of your misperceptions, and have the strength to allow more light into your body and life that often requires great sacrifice and unwanted changes.  Once you have the courage and integrity to go all the way with this clearing out of all your past 'wounds', you will begin to understand that the only truth that you need to know is that you are this pure pulse of light always vibrating in great silence and peace with and unwavering ability to be a part of life fully. 
 
But we have to be willing to question everything that brings us internal and external conflict and know it is up to us to bring back the harmony, no one else, only each one of us can do it for ourselves.  We cannot give this power or responsibility away.  Our minds are very well equipped in tricking us into believing what is not true and forming conclusions that are ludicrous and often divisive.  The way to break this trap is to know that we know nothing, that everything that arises is simply here to clear out, to have the strength to take responsibility, to take action to change what is not real, to surrender to a life of simplicity, and to fully accept that we are all pure beings of light in our core.
 
We are here to progress as individuals, as a human race, and as beings of light.  We are here to remember our true heritage, that we have all come to shine.
 
Self-realization requires that you let go of everything in your life that no longer serves you and have the courage to do it. Self-realization means to stop looking for answers outside of yourself and to take responsibility for the circumstances you find yourself in. Self-realization requires each of us to look in the mirror and have the courage to see our brilliant light, even though life may not present itself in ways we pictured.
 
No one can heal us, save us, or even teach us.  Gurus, teachers, and/or healers are here only to simply hold the light elevated enough for each of us to heal, save, and teach ourselves in direct relationship to God.  Changes only happens within when we have the willingness to no longer be separated from ourselves and others and to directly find out how it is that each of is a gift from God.
 
We pray that those of us doing spiritual work find a way to return back to a simpler life that includes reentry into our beautiful world here on Mother Earth.  We understand that there are challenges, that the energies are intense, that many are sensitives, that many of us want to escape, run, give up or find others to save us.  But we promise, the only way out is to go back into your life fully, accepting all of what surrounds you as a gift from God here to serve you so that you may grow, learn, release and find the unshakable truth of your own serenity within.
 
Please try to keep life as simple, mundane, and ordinary as possible.  In this way, you will find little miracles in the small deliberate activities such as that of holding the hand of a loved one, cooking a wholesome meal your body can appreciate, cleaning your home so that it smells fresh, watching a movie that delights you, taking a shower to nurture you, work that gives you pleasure and moments of silence for your own tranquility. 
 
Many seeking God have become lost or stuck in the siddhis, or what we refer to as spiritual side effects.  These addictions to phenomenon has attracted energies of lower vibrations that make it difficult for many to evolve to the next level.  Please make finding peace within your number one priority. Only then can you rest in the lap of God in this lifetime and find the treasure you are looking for right beneath your own two feet.
 
God Bless.

It has been brought to my intention by an old friend, Steven McFadden, that the article I posted a few weeks back THE WORLD WILL NOT END IN 2012  was written by Steven .... not Carlos Barrios.  I wanted to honor Steven for this work. It is a great message.   Here's the original link to the post.  http://www.chiron-communications.com/communique%207-10.html
