Whose Responsibility Is it?

It just amazes me how many spiritual people do not consider social responsibility their responsibility. I have heard of so many spiritual people, some holding positions of leadership who have total disregard to laws because they think that man made laws are not important once they 'align' with spiritual laws.

In Asia, we see the rampant production of illegal copy items from clothes, handbags to VCDs/DVDs. The masses purchase these items for selfish gratification, and they do so mostly due to greed, ignorance, the lack of understanding of the laws whether earthly or karmic or other reasons. Spiritual practitioners who discuss Karma over tea with friends will not even bat an eye lid when purchasing illegal DVDs, photocopying spiritual books(!) and 'stealing' other people's ideas. How can the earth and humanity enter the Golden Age and become 'enlightened' if people have no basic respect for others?

If we wish to walk on the path of Self & God realization, then we must strive to align every aspect of our lives with God/Spiritual/Ascended Masters' consciousness and take responsibility for all our actions. The laws of Karma are not just present in our spiritual work, or our spiritual relationships, they are present even in how we feed our physical bodies, in our thoughts and our mundane actions on earth.

As spiritual practitioners if we do not set better examples, then who will?

Spiritual Idealism

There are many things in life i feel very passionate about. There are also many things connected to my spiritual growth that I am especially devoted to in terms of reaching the highest ideal. This morning, when I was on the teleconference call with the other I AM U branch leaders and we were talking about the 6th ray and what it means to have spiritual idealism, it made me realise that I have many spiritual ideals that I aim to bring into perfection and most importantly to demonstrate and ground them.

One of these things that I am an advocate of is maintaining clear boundaries. To me, practicing clear boundaries with others on the physical, emotional, psychological, psychic, spiritual levels are about respect, honour and unconditional love/service. I hold this as one of my strengths that allow me to do my work effectively and I must say that I learned a lot about involved detachment and clear boundaries from Kuan Yin. She is the Master of Compassion but she is so crystal clear on where she stands as a teacher, healer and Bodhisattva. I feel her energy and strength whenever I feel challenged in this area of my development....and she never fails to give me a wake up call should I falter! A million thanks to Kuan Yin :-)

Anyway, what I want to share is that it is so important for spiritual practitioners to have spiritual ideals. Spiritual ideals give us a sense of focus, gives us a sense of becoming the best that we can become, it also allows us to dream the impossible dream! The 6th ray also teaches us that spiritual idealism must be grounded as practical service on earth.....

Let's aspire to bring Heaven down to Earth in a real way.
