Xmas

December 24, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Xmas

On the eve of the wonderfully synchronous day, I found it fascinating that within the advent series X happen to land on Christmas eve. Researching the "X" in xmas was a fascinating process in itself. ""Xmas" and "X-mas" are common abbreviations of the word "Christmas". They are sometimes pronounced "eksmas", but they, and variants such as "Xtemass", originated as handwriting abbreviations for the pronunciation "Christmas". The "-mas" part came from the Latin-derived Old English word for "mass". [1]
This abbreviation is widely used but not universally accepted. Many do not know about its antiquity and believe it to be of commercial origin and thus demeaning to Christ, whilst others find it a helpful abbreviation…."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xmas,
To me the X really stands for all of US and all of Humanity. We are all one and there is no separation other than in our own ego. Therefore the X is truly a symbol for all and every one of US. Xmas or Christmas is not really about Jesus specifically as Christ is a term used for a state of being "anointed one" - from the Latin Christus; The title occurs in the Hebrew Bible, where it signifies the installation of a "king", "prophet", or "high priest": a person, chosen by God or descended from a person chosen by God, to serve as a civil, advisory, religious, and/or military authority. Since we are all ONE, if one is chosen by God, all are chosen by God. If one can achieve a level of consciousness of Avatar, Christ, Messiah, we all can. We are all one, we all come from the same source; God Consciousness. We can all choose to be as those who showed the way before us and more. Lets all spend the day as conscious spiritual beings, and see the world through love. Lets all shift our thoughts from our mind to; through our hearts, and bring love, peace and harmony within ourselves. Lets fully accept and love all we are, and allow spirit to bring miracles into our lives with US.

From my heart I wish you a Merry Xmas.

Wisdom

December 23, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Wisdom

“If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.” Alex Noble

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power.”

 

“Wisdom is not a product of schooling but of the lifelong attempt to acquire it” Albert Einstein
“A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren’t we like that wise old bird?”
“The invariable mark of wisdom is to see the miraculous in the common.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
“Knowing others is wisdom, knowing yourself is enlightenment.” Lao Tzu
“By three methods we may learn wisdom: first, by reflection, which is noblest; second, by imitation, which is easiest; and third, by experience, which is the most bitter.” Confucius

Voice

December 22, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Voice

Voice:

Defined by wikipedia: “The human voice consists of sound made by a human using the vocal folds for talking, whispering, singing, laughing, crying, screaming, etc. The vocal folds, in combination with the lips, the tongue, the lower jaw, and the palate, are capable of producing highly intricate arrays of sound.The tone of voice may be modulated to suggest emotions such as anger, surprise, or happiness……..The twelve tone musical scale, upon which most of the world’s music is based, may have its roots in the sound of the human voice during the course of evolution, according to a study published by the New Scientist. Analysis of recorded speech samples found peaks in acoustic energy that mirrored the distances between notes in the twelve-tone scale.”

There is a magical quality to listening to choirs, especially this time of year. Our voices originate from within our chests starting as a breath, moved by our vibration. That vibration moves into and through each of us, uniting us in harmony.

“The delight a friend feels when he hears a friends voice bring all that matters. There are those who hear within a voice the essence being said, and there are those who can’t.”Jalal ad-Din Rumi. I feel what is important for all of US to learn is to say all we done with the vibration of love transmitted through our voice as we speak. Maybe then we can voice our differences in a loving and harmonious way, so that we can all be heard and all be respected and accepted.

Unity

December 21, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Unity

"Unity" is generally accepted as a descriptive for The Oneness. The complete oneness within all humanity and within spirit and humanity. We are ALL NOthing and we are ALL ONE. It is the loving harmony of the universe singing in Unity with nothing and with all things.

Living in Unity is to live with the subconscious mind and conscious mind in total harmony. A state of being in which one perceives and experiences the world in absence of the egoic identity and boundaries. A complete interconnection between all matter, thought and energy in total harmony with God Consciousness. When we reach this state of being it is only natural to be in complete service to humanity, for then we truly understand that everything that we experience is not external to us. Everything we experience is a reflection of us and is within us. By being in service to humanity we are actually in service to ourselves.

Truth

December 20, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Truth

Truth is the eternal rightness. It is born of the Universal Laws that govern all things.
Truth is healing power, born of the Universal Power.
Truth withstands all time and is a timeless message - understanding.
Truth is unalterable no matter what the circumstances or life experiences.
Truth can only be known if one is connected to Source.

Your countries and your peoples lay down laws “protecting” the truth. But if it is not aligned with the Source, if there is no deep knowing of yes, then it cannot be truth. For truth never hinders another.

If one is aligned with Source, they can feel/hear/see/know that they are witnessing someone not aligned with Truth. “For the Truth will set you free”, has many meanings. Knowing that you are aligned with Source and using your senses to discriminate a supposed truth from the truth will help guide you. Knowing the Truth of the Universal laws will help you create the life you desire. Knowing that the Source is found, not out there somewhere, but is within and all around you will truly set you free. These are knowings beyond just the mind and intellect. It is having a deep understanding that truly brings you peace since you know beyond a shadow of a doubt what is Truth. Align with Source.

Be Brave.
Know Truth
…and you will be Free.

Silent Night

December 19, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

 

  silent night

Silent Night:

A wonderfully popular Christmas song, written in 1816 by Josef Mohr and composed in 1818 by Franz X. Gruber. The true magic in the song is in the Silent Night. How often do we allow the space for us to sit is silence. Total stillness, free of distractions, free of thought. Silence from the mental minds chatter and tasks. It is in this silent state of stillness where we can be open to the subtle guidance and voice of spirit. In the stillness of the night, even the smallest amount of light shines bright. I know it is all to easy for me in my life to get distracted by all the ambient noise in the world I have manifested around me. Whether it is the white noise of all the gadgets, traffic, or just the constant to do list in my mind. Finding that silent stillness for even fifteen minutes in a day will do wonders in connecting with spirit and soul. Find what works for you; meditation, yoga, ziker. The key is to make yourself open to be able to feel spirit and God Consciousness. The universe is always ready and waiting to work with us, we just need to create the space and allow the universe into our realm of existence. Enjoy the silence. Within silence there is peace, love and harmony.

Responsibility

December 18, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007, SpiritFractals™

Responsibility

Responsibility:

Responsibility - it can mean different things to different people. It carries different connotations. Some see it as a burden, others as a duty. Very few see it as a joyful aspect of their lives. For instance, without responsibility we would not, could not, raise good children. By good we mean honest, caring, compassionate ones who know who they are and are in love with Life. Responsibility also means to us in the Spirit world , the act of taking care of
oneself and only oneself. You are responsible for your own actions, for your own health, your own healing, your own thoughts, words, and deeds. No one else is responsible. There is much joy in this because you can make it in whichever manner, in whichever way, you so desire. We hold no judgment and it is clear to us that you seek only joy in your life. And you determine how that joy comes to be. It is a wonderful thing that you are responsible for creating the life you wish to have. In fact you create, are responsible for, everything that is occurring in your life. To us responsibility is a synonym for creation. This fractal image shows the gold and white light illuminating from the core “seed” image. That is the light of creation. The kernel or seed image covers the full light spectrum that you can see. It is very powerful that you can call on all (these frequencies) to help you co-create your desires. The image includes all the chakra (energy centers) colors. It has infinite patterns along the edge symbolizing the many, many experiences to draw upon in this life, past lives, in genetic lineage, and cultural history. All this wisdom is accessible! There are many branches and paths that can be taken. None better than another. All leading, all creating to find one’s own aspect of Joy. For it is in creating a life of joy that one clearly understands responsibility. So much wisdom is available to lead you to the path that is right for you. In every moment one can ask, ”does this feel good - how can I feel better?” and little by little, moment by moment, by taking responsibility for one’s choices in feeling better, a life of joy will be created.

Responsibility is a gift. A gift of Joy. When you realize that you are in charge of choosing in your life — all that you desire will come true. It must, for you alone are the one “responsible” for your life. Others may say, “what about ‘bad’ things like disease, abuse, hardships; why would anyone want to create and be responsible for this occurring in their lives?” We answer: it is not that anyone consciously sets out to have “bad” things happen since all beings in their natural free flowing state, desire joy and emanate pure love. What happens is that one “forgets” they are responsible. They forget that they must consciously be aware of their thoughts, words, and actions and that these are to be aligned with joy and love. When one is aligned and focused on joy then they will not create any badness. When a person gets so bogged down in blame and victimhood, they are taking the wrong definition of responsibility. No one is to blame. There are different paths, different journeys, all leading to reconnecting fully to one’s joy. It is discovering your own path that is responsibility. It is creating your own life that means living responsibly. It means honoring your God in Self and knowing the free flowing state of love and joy is yours in any and every moment. Responsibility is a wonderful gift of being human and being able to create a full life on earth.

Be in Joy and you are living responsibly!

Qur’?n

December 17, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Quran

The Qur’?n : "the recitation" the book of divine guidance and direction for humanity to consider. The Qur’?n is the Muslim book of divine messages beginning with Adam, and including the Scrolls of Abraham and the Torah.

Why did I choose Qur’?n for the letter Q? Well this is where today’s story begins. Humanity has several great texts that were written thousands of years ago, Dead Sea Scrolls, Quran, Holy Bible, Tanakh, Torah. All of these are profound texts and have a wealth of information and spiritual truths within them. Yet even today’s scholars have trouble truly translating all that was written, as dialects and languages have transformed and disappeared with time. Most of these powerful lessons were written in context of that period in time. What if these great works of spiritual stories were symbolic. A symbol of the story that is waiting to be written within each of us. We are all one, and we are all Spirit manifest in the physical. What if we are to write our own story! How would you write your life? All stories are an individuals perspective on what is unfolding. It is a very powerful and very personal experience. It is our individual lives. So why not write your own manuscript of how your life is to unfold. Write through your heart, and listen to your guidance. I truly believe that we are all one and we ALL have access to, spirit, angelic, God Consciousness guidance. We just need to create enough quite space to allow it in. Miracles are waiting to fill your pages in your life’s book. We just need to start creating our own Qur’?n, Holy Bible, Tanakh, with our lives. We need to be the love, and be the miracle, it needs to be written with-in us not external to us.

Purpose

December 16, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Purpose

"Purpose" What is my purpose in this life?

While giving today’s topic some thought I found myself in wikipedia and felt their quote on purpose very fitting.
"Modern spiritual philosophy sees the purpose in life as improving the environment and world condition for all beings. In the most immediate sense this means each individual finding the special talents which are a gift to serve others. This in turn is found in pursuing a soul level joy, so that the personal and highest individual purpose of life is pursuit of soul level joy. This is the first joy, that which has followed the individual from birth. In most instances it begins with the desire for acceptance and evolves to discovery of each person’s genius or gift to serve."
I believe we all come into this world from Spirit to fullfil a task. Our living purpose. For some of us it is not something we are conscious of, yet there is a subconscious force that brings opportunities into our lives to complete that task. I have found that by asking the right questions while doing the everyday tasks of life helpful.

  • How can I better serve humanity?
  • How can I bring love to all those I meet today?
  • What would love do in this situation?
  • Is this for my highest and best good?
  • Am I inspiring and uplifting those I meet each day?

I also believe that when were are living in alignment with our Purpose life flows through us with harmony and grace. Our purpose is not always expressed by actions in a spotlight of fame. It is in all we do, from scrubbing the floors to casual interactions with humanity. We never know in which manner we impact the world around us. It is not for us to know for that would be incomprehensible. We need to bring all we are and all we can be to Everything you do. We are all God consciousness manifest in the physical and we are all one. We all need to bring our hearts and souls into everything we do. By doing this humanity will become the best it can be. It is not in what we do it is in how we do it. Do everything through your heart, with love and compassion for every situation. I believe this is all of Humanities purpose. We are all an expression of Love, and we are all miracles. We just need to all believe and know we are.

Namaste Ferdinand.

Opening

December 15, 2007 By: Ferds Soul Category: Advent 2007

Open

Christmas is more than just the opening of presents, it is the opening of humanities heart. It is the one day of the year where a high percentage of humanity is in a state of heartfelt openness and compassion. The gifts are a symbol of that heart felt joy when we allow our hearts to fully open.
There are miracles and magic happening around us all the time all year round. Christmas allows us to connect to those miracles and moments of magic with far greater ease as the collective consciousness is aligned together. Remember we are all one, connected by every breath and thought we have. So allow your heart to fully open this year. Allow yourself to believe in miracles, we are all miracles, we just need to know we are. There is a whole universe full of possibilities awaiting to be unwrapped. We all just need to widen our vision enough to allow them to come into view.
This Christmas lets all be miracles, open our hearts and Be in harmony with all that is. Unwrap your heart and allow spirit to flow through and with you. There is a universe full of miracles waiting for you to choose them.
