“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”
~Albert Einstein
“There has never been a time when you and I have not existed, nor will there be a time when we will cease to exist.
As the same person inhabits the body through childhood, youth, and old age, so too at the time of death he attains another body.
The wise are not deluded by these changes.”
~Bhagavad Gita
“Apply yourself both now and in the next life.
Without effort, you cannot be prosperous.
Though the land be good, You cannot have an abundant crop without cultivation.”
~Plato
Come, come, whoever you are.
Wonderer, Worshipper, lover of leaving.
It doesn’t matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vow
a thousand times
Come, yet again, come, come.
~Rumi
Your Higher Self is an indispensable tool in solving problems and challenges.
A simple exercise to work with your Higher self is to envision a brilliant golden sun above your head, about two feet. This radiant sun is your Higher Self, your highest nature. It is your direct link to Source. Begin by placing your attention in this golden sun. Feel its eternal warmth. Once there, ask that what you need to know concerning the situation be revealed to you. Ask in faith! The key is to believe an answer/insight will be given.
In placing your attention in your Higher Self, let go of your problem. Surrender your issue to Source. This is paramount. The Higher knows what is going on. It knows better than you or I. Too many times we cling to our problems and this prevents us from receiving the love, help, and guidence God is sending. It keeps us in the mental part of our being, preventing us from reaching into the Higher.
After you have held to receive God’s gift, thank The Higher and bring your attention back to your physical body. Notice any sensations, thoughts, emotions, inspirations, desires. Even if they dont make sense, take note! The Higher speaks to us in many ways.
Let go of your problem. Clear it from your mind to give room to receive divine inspiration. Allow the miracle. Forgive. And Give Thanks.
With all the challenges and activities of life, it can be easy to forget that each step you take IS your spiritual path. It can become habitual to feel that you are on a spiritual merry-go-round, pursuing the path but somehow not getting where you need to be. It is at these times that you need to stop, take a breath, and reevaluate where you are in your spiritual journey.
Your Spiritual Ascent is a miraculous journey. It represents the blossoming of your soul, the unfolding of the spiritual powers latent within you. Earth is a schoolhouse and you are here to grow and serve the divine plan. In this school there are definite grades and levels. Right now you are in the process of growing through the spiritual planes. These planes are actual dimensions of life and consciousness that you have to embody and master if you are to win the crown of life, the culminating achievement in your earthly journey.
In the esoteric work, these spiritual planes are called the astral worlds. The astral worlds are the dimensions of life you go to when you pass from this life through the portal called death. These dimensions are magnificent, but they are not just for the day when you are finished with your earthly life. These dimensions are part of you right now. You receive help and support from the astral planes. As you earn spiritual light, you grow through these realms while you are right here in physical life. This is the essence of your spiritual ascent.
There are seven of these astral dimensions that you are evolving through. Eventually you will finish with the astral planes altogether and step into the next dimension of life known as the heaven worlds of Spiritual Etheria.
Your passport to the spiritual worlds is the Divine Light you earn. The more spiritual power you earn the higher in consciousness you can climb and the greater your spiritual ascent through the astral planes. It’s a wondrous journey.
How do you help in your spiritual ascent? Is there a way to quicken this process? The answer is straight forward: there is no shortcut to spiritual enlightenment, but by putting your hands to the plough and applying yourself, you can accelerate the process, right now.
The key to your spiritual ascent is the Divine Light. Do all that you can to earn light. Through every good word, thought, act and deed you are earning light. Your efforts do add up! In all your choices and decisions, look to the best course of action regardless of personal feelings. Be willing to face the challenges of life head on. These tests are the very opportunity to help you grow and mature. And as you master these challenges, you are building your spiritual power.
The other way you earn spiritual light and quicken your spiritual steps is through meditation. By meditating regularly, you are giving yourself time to commune with the Divine and receive the gifts of Spirit. There are some who say they are too busy to meditate or say they do not know how to meditate. This is like saying you have no time for God or don’t know how to receive from God. Of course you do! It’s all a matter of choice.
Through every sincere effort you are growing and unfolding your spiritual power. Put God first in all you do and watch your life blossom.
In Divine Light and Love,
Barbara Y. Martin

Today we present the tenth and final Key in our Ten Keys to Success in Spiritual Growth series. Now that all 10 Keys have been gifted to you, remember to revisit them often. A fantastic exercise is to take one key a week and meditate daily upon its wisdom. Journaling can be very beneficial to help document your progress. Write down insights, feelings, thoughts, memories, hunches and intuitions. This is a fantastic opportunity to be creative – write, paint, dance, sing, cook, hike, etc – and invite the Divine into your daily life.
Tenth Key: DIVINE LOVE
The tenth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Divine Love. In your quest of spiritual development the expression of of love and compassion is paramount. Love is the great divine unifier of life; love holds creation together.
When you are in your spiritual love flow, you are in the oneness and goodness of life. To build your love flow, you need to let go of selfish actions and behaviors, and embrace your higher nature. You are an immortal, spiritual being. It is your birthright to experience, express, and manifest love in all areas and arenas.
As you slowly unite your heart and mind with God, your thoughts become God thoughts and your actions become God actions. With dedication and practice it becomes easy and natural to learn to trust these God thoughts and feelings when they come to you. Opening to the gift of loving co-creation with the Divine is instrumental to your spiritual success.

Ninth Key: DYNAMIC ACTION
The ninth Key to success in your spiritual growth is Dynamic Action. Dynamic action is divine inspiration made manifest.
All creation exists through the law of dynamic action. Everything in this universe and beyond -from a blade of grass, to a train, to the milky way- is the product of divine inspiration given life. Dynamic action brings in vigor and vitality necessary to bring our thoughts, desires, and dreams into being. You can desire the spiritual life, but if you are not putting that desire into action you will not get the benefit. Your spiritual growth begins as a longing. That longing must be ACTED upon to be fulfilled.
