The word Holy Spirit always had an echo of religious mysticism to me in the past. It had practically no real meaning because there was no connection to it through personal experience. It seemed to be something as far removed as the clouds in the sky. It was talked about but so were many other things. The lack of connection with the Holy Spirit that I experienced was really more the lack of connection with myself. What I was experiencing most of the time was just the thoughts of doubt, uncertainty, conditioning, habits and a burning awareness that there had to be something beyond those. The desire to know the Holy Spirit was really the awakening of my desire to know the truth of who I am. To know the most intimate secret of the Universe. To know the spark that has given life to this experience called Nataraja. For ones who seek for an experience of the Holy Spirit it is extremely elusive. The words, the mind, our senses can't capture it even for the briefest of moments because it is beyond time altogether. To know the Holy spirit requires an alignment with truth, a choice to turn inward to consciousness rather than outward to worldly solutions and distractions. We have lost ourselves in the experiences that are of a very dense quality and our own spirit is simply calling us back to completeness, into consciousness of who we are. And not only that but to fully live as that on this earth plane. To transform our bodies so that they can not only experience the senses but the finest and most subtle level of creation as well, to experience the Ascendant shining through everything. We can only add to ourselves and it is a sad dream of the ego that we could lose something important in the process of waking up. When in my heart I was desperate for truth and a change in my vision the Holy Spirit did come to me. Not in a way that I expected nor in way that I could have explained to others around me. It was more like a hurricane wind of change that took me into its gentle arms and carried me where I really wanted to go. I knew it was not apart from me or a power outside of me although it took some ascending to allow this awareness to mature and grow inside of me. So that it was not only a vague experience or a hope but a solid reality that I could consciously choose for at any given time. Ascending is very simply learning to think and walk as the Holy Spirit does. To commit to constantly realign ourselves with the purest essence of who we are and allow that to be the power in our life, to be our voice that speaks, to be the hands that heal, the eyes that see and the ears that hear. Through our choice we let the consciousness, the Holy Spirit, our Self, manifest through us. The Holy Spirit invites us to live Life in its fullness. That is worth anything and much more than what this world can offer. Nataraja Ishaya
The Holy Spirit removes all blocks to the full expansion of life automatically. The Holy Spirit spares nothing to educate a soul. The Holy Spirit cannot be affected by anything of space or time. The Holy Spirit knows everything even in advance of recognized need. The Holy Spirit travels through all of of creation, dispensing immeasurable wealth on everyone. The holy Spirit destroys all restrictions and limits within Creation. The Holy Spirit is omnipresent in Creation. The Holy Spirit works forever with God. The Holy Spirit makes all growth of consciousness sacred, letting nothing be imbalanced. The Holy Spirit removes all stress from the body and mind. The Holy Spirit flowing in life is the root of all growth of consciousness. The Holy Spirit wastes no time. Without ever leaving its Ascended status, the Holy Spirit erases all the false dreams of the ego.
Commentary by MSI
I am Pure Consciousness, the underlying essence of all elements and beings. Nothing whatsoever exists separate from My Divinity. There is no power in the cosmos that does not emanate from Me and belong to Me. The entire universe is suspended from Me as if I were the string of a necklace of jewels. The gems may differ vastly, but the force holding them all together, the central thread, is Me, Divinity. I am the innate nature of everything. In pure water, I am the sweet taste. In the sun and moon, I am the radiance. In the very center of human beings, I am virility and courage. I am the sacred word, Om, which designates the Divine, and I am the sound of it heard throughout the universe. I am the slight delicate scent of the sweet fragrance of the earth. I am the brilliance in both fire and sun. I am the light of Divinity in all beings. I am the subtle spirit in Spiritual practices that gives them their existence. I am the love of the devotee, for example, or the austerity in the ascetic, or the sweet scent of charity in the giver. Bhaghavad Gita 7:7-9
Every one has the Holy Spirit,
I can my self remember, where I was 7 there it started know I have Inner voice where I was very connected where I could trust completely and it was all the time with me, I hade not so easy childhood I had to work by my parents company and didn’t had any time for my self.
But one thing did could any body take from me, was the inner voice this Holy Spirit. It help me to fulfilling my desires so I could built a house with age of 20 years old, but all the people told me that I can’t do that, but the Holy Spirit told me I can! So listen to inner voice, anyway when I listen to these voice there was never a choice not in the flow and didn’t need energy to balance them I ONLY gain them and my live was so easier. The more I get involved with them work my mind get busier and I didn’t listen these much to the Holy Spirit and I had to compensate, that I not listen to the Holy Spirit, so I start to judgment what I didn’t listen to the inner voice. The more we do at the more we ignore our self and every body do at it some way and we can’t hear more the holy spirit because we not listen to it. I get a wake up call. My sister died with the age 23(my best body) after that I get badly sick ‘I never was before sick!’ And then I start to look for healing and found out I can only heal my self and then I start for my self, ‘inner healing’. So I start to search for the inner healing, where I made these choice I opened stronger the channel to Holy spirit and the more listen to the stronger he get and never stops. It came so that I didn’t lose the Holy Spirit any more. ‘Main part is in your life to live from your heart and mind, from the Holy Spirit, from there inspiration that is the true nature of everyone, the Ascendant.’ Dharaman
The Voice of the Holy Spirit does not command, because It is incapable of arrogance. It does not demand, because It does not seek control. It does not overcome, because It does not attack. It merely reminds. It is compelling only because of what It reminds you of. It brings to your mind the other way, remaining quiet even in the midst of the turmoil you might make. The Voice for God is always quiet, because It speaks of peace. Peace is stronger than war because it heals. War is division, not increase. No one gains from strife. What profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul? If you listen to the wrong voice you have lost sight of your soul. You cannot lose it, but you can not know it. It is therefore "lost" to you until you choose right. The Holy Spirit is your Guide in choosing. He is in the part of your mind that always speaks for the right choice, because He speaks for God. He is your remaining communication with God, which you can interrupt but not destroy. The Holy Spirit is the way in which God's Will is done on earth as it is in Heaven. Both Heaven and earth are in you, because the call for both is in your mind. The Voice for God comes from your own altars to Him. These altars are not things; they are devotions. Yet you have other devotions now. Your divided devotion has given you the two voices, and you must choose at which altar you want to serve. The call you answer now is an evaluation because it is a decision. The decision is very simple. It is made on the basis of which call is worth more to you. ACIM, II. The voice for God
There is a universal whisper pervading all of this creation. It is subtle, quiet, but it can be heard anywhere by anyone, even by the deaf. It has been called the Word, the Voice for God, the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Omega, the Omkara, the Primal Sound. Today many speak of the Guides or the Inner Divine Voice. The name doesn't matter. This Voice always speaks to everyone; for every question we ask, there is always an answer. Actually two answers; there is the first answer, which is created by the limited individuality. This is the answer from the ego's perspective and is usually a justification for an action or a thought that we inted but question. The second answer comes from Universal Consciousness. This second is frequently called intuition; it is also sometimes interpreted as conscience. The first voice is sometimes called the voice of Satan -- the reason being that the two voices are diametrically opposed in their advice. Whatever they are called, one typically speaks for the short-sighted and immediate gain of sensual gratification and experience and the second always speaks for Universal Love. Anyone can hear the Inner Divine Voice. At times in everyone it speaks quite loudly. But if we continually ignore it or deny it, its quiet voice will seem to grow more faint, until it may seem that there is no second voice at all. What is happening in this case is that our vibratory rate is becoming more coarse, more crude; the second voice is broadcasting on a subtle channel. The human nervous system has difficulty in being tuned to more than one station at a time; if our continual habit is to listen to the voice for limitation, the second voice will fade away. It can never vanish altogether. Since each of us is a part of the Eternal Ascendant, it is impossible ever to be apart from it in reality. But if we continually turn away from the subtle levels of experience, they will become as if silent and invisible to us. MSI, Ascension!
The Holy Spirit is invisible, but you can see the results of his Presence, and through them you will learn that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly not of this world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude and mass is transcended, for what the Holy Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond all of them. Perceiving His results, you will understand where He must be, and finally know what He is. You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you will not realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses, and speak for His Presence. What you cannot see becomes real to you only through the witnesses that speak for It. For you can be aware of what you cannot see, and It can become compellingly real to you as Its Presence becomes manifest through you. Do the Holy Spirit’s work, for you share in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares His with you on earth. As long as you believe you have other functions, so long will you need correction. For this belief is the destruction of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit’s purpose. You see what you expect, and you expect what you invite. Your perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you sent for it. Whose manifestations would you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will believe in what you manifest, and as you look out so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance you have chosen. ACIM
