The spiritual journey is the process of releasing old messages that you have taken on in the past, letting go of the foreign energy that is not you. Every time you release, you create more room in your space for you. You become brighter in your space, allowing more room for pristine Source energy. Some people use the expression, "Healing the separation from God" to describe this phenomenon. Separation from Source makes the body (manifest world) senior, and allows for programming in your space to set the energy in your life. When you are present and you are spiritually-senior, you can be at one with Source. The foreign energy in your space is not bad or wrong, it is simply energy in an inappropriate place and needs to be cycled back to where it belongs. There is no right or wrong energy. There is simply energy that is in a place that does not facilitate growth or healing, and energies that do support growth and healing. Your energy system was designed for you to be at one with Source, and it wants to move in that direction. It is so natural for the body and the being in the body to vibrate at a Source frequency.
Connection with Source is not an out-of-body experience. People will often unconsciously leave their body and start looking around the universe for some "spiritual" connection, but you can have it right here, right now, in your body. Stay firmly grounded to the planet to keep your body healthy, and rooted in manifestation. This supports a healthy connection to Source. Spirit existed long, long before manifestation and will be here long, long after. Spirit is far bigger than space/time itself. Manifest reality is a little thing we are playing with here. Energy comes first, always.
You have chosen to have a body, you have chosen to be in manifestation, and with those choices comes the responsibility to own your space. The responsibility is yours, not your children's or your partner's or anybody else's on the planet. The whole concept of manifestation can be looked at as if you are living a dream. This view can be a supportive view because it does not allow for the manifest to get too big or dominant.
One of the problems within our culture at present is the dream has gotten too dominant for most people. They believe it. People think the manifest state is all there is. If they are living this reality, then they are in a state of body-seniority; this creates a separation from Source.
The journey to being spiritually-senior may not be an easy path. It is full of ups and downs, valleys and hilltops, lovely views of awareness and quagmires of growth periods. As you walk the path, remember what you are doing and where you are going. You are Spirit. There were so many previous lifetimes when you believed the play, when you believed the dream. The dream of manifestation was bigger than you, was dominant over you. You were owned by energy that was not you.
Bodies and analyzers work off dichotomies. The analyzer works off right or wrong, good or bad. If you live through your analyzer, thus basing your reality in judgment, you will be limited. Instead, you can use your analyzer like a computer to process information, but you are the one that makes the choices. This is very different than becoming the analyzer. Analyzers cannot access "knowingness" or higher spiritual information. You can use the analyzer to describe the spiritual information, but not to be in charge of it. The more spiritually-senior you become, the more your analyzer will wait for instructions rather than give them, and the more you can see manifestation for the dream it truly is. This opens the way to having your connection with Source again. You as Spirit were meant to be in charge of your space, and create your dream, your reality, consciously.
