Inner Voice

Make God your guru,
Let him tell you what to do,
Listen! He is calling, calling you
Take time to listen, have courage to obey
The inner voice is calling, calling you.
There are voices all around us,
That of enemies and of friends,
Do this, don't do that, the chorus never ends.
But I shall always listen, to that quiet inner voice,
It is still and definite, and I've made my choice.
Make God your guru,
Let him tell you what to do,
Listen! He is calling, calling you
Take time to listen, have courage to obey
The inner voice is calling, calling you.

My inner Voice explained to me, that the reason It did not speak to me during my fast, was because the toxic waste in my blood makes it impossible to communicate clearly. Since the end of my fast my Inner Voice has spoken with me almost every day. My personal self/mind will be rambling on about some remembered injustice, slight, painful experience or guilt or other mental clutter, and my Inner Voice will remind me that I'm the only one that remembers that stuff, no one else remembers it, and it is in the past and I should just let it go.

And the experience I'm so worried about had no basis in reality anyway, because it involved my personal self which is an illusion that I created to deal with the fearsome world I was born into. This illusion was further reinforced by the "world view" of my parents, relatives and their friends.

My Inner Voice reminds me that what I am in reality is the Christ Being, one with God. And that the personal self that I created and always saw as myself, and separate from God, is an illusion. All that I have experience in my past life up till now has been a kind of fantasy, some of it a very nice fantasy, but still an illusion never-the-less. I Am part of God, one with God, I Am part of the Whole, I Am whole. I AM!

My Inner Voice tells me now that I am aware of my true identity that I will always be on the path to union with God, which is the highest aspiration of human kind. No matter how often I forget, no matter how far I wander into the darkness, I will always return to the true goal of life... to unite my conscious mind with my Soul... to become one with God.

Jesus admonished us, "not to judge"; not to judge ourselves or others, because we would only be dealing in fantasies, one illusion judging another illusion. There is little reality in this world or among its people today except for love, acts of kindness and service. Only a few live a true life, outside of the illusion of separateness, one with God. This is the seekers goal. Stay on the path. Realize your union with God.

Souls are
Like snowflakes
No two
Are the alike.

Last night I was thinking about keeping the awareness that I am the Christ in the forefront of my personal mind. I realize that lately I have been more aware of that idea during my every day activities. Quite often now, the thought that I am the Christ, just comes to my mind. A kind of, "dawning" that just comes over me. The idea often, still surprises me, and I wonder if it can really be true. Then my Inner Voice will say, something like, "You are the Christ, you are a conscious part of the whole of god, you are the I am of that I AM."

And often now, when I am talking to a person, or enjoying chatting with a group of people, my Inner Voice will quietly whisper, "remember who you are." This gentle reminder helps me remember to listen more and talk less. "A multitude of words is not without sin."

I have been working on this change of perspective for several months now and sometimes I feel a definite, "lift in spirit" when the thought, that I am the Christ comes to me. My Inner Voice sometimes reminds me to, "be happy and count your blessing because they are many." I am working all the time now to let go of my mental clutter and to maintain a feeling of physical, mental and spiritual well-being.

I am eating a strict raw vegetarian diet now.

I believe that living a spiritual life is a simple matter. I like things to be simple, uncomplicated and natural. The seekers path that I have outlined in these journals is simple, straight-forward, natural and will quickly lead to the goal.

(I am having some problems at the present time with mercury poisoning and candida but soon those problems will be overcome and I will continue to ascend.)

It seems only reasonable to me, that if I want to have God live and function through my body, that I should purify my body and create a Holy Temple for God to live in. And likewise, I need to purify my mind so that my personal thoughts do not offend God, and so that I can receive the thoughts of God's Divine Mind and hear His Voice, which is my Inner Voice.

As I have said many times before, the quickest way to purify the body is by fasting and eating a natural raw vegetarian diet. The mind is purified by truthfulness, forgiveness, meditation, affirmations, praise and prayer.

Uniting the conscious mind with the Soul is accomplished by realizing and bringing forth the Christ. This is facilitated by following the guidance of the Inner Voice in the right use of thought, word, deed and by developing an attitude of love, compassion and service.

I work every day at building my awareness that I am the Christ. Every minute that I can remember that I am the Christ, is a minute spent touching the Christ Consciousness. As I think... I am. My Inner Voice Guides my way.

There is no doubt in my personal mind that I am, Pete. I Know that I am Pete. While I am expanding my awareness that I am the Christ every day, I am also working to build up my awareness so that I Know that I am the Christ, just the same way that I Know that I am Pete. I must learn to Know and feel that I am the Christ... learn to identify my self as the Christ. I am the Christ. I AM.

I am working on changing my thinking and feelings from the separateness of my personal mind to the wholeness of the Divine Mind. I try to live in the here and now, at one with the whole of nature, at one with my brothers and sisters, at one with God. My true self... I AM that I AM.

All this may sound complicated, but it is simple, it is living my life at a much higher level physically, mentally and spiritually. I feel I am becoming a better and more caring, sensitive person. To make these changes requires faith, discipline, and determination. My guide is my Inner Voice.

Jesus said in, The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East:

"God is that power which is generated and exhilarated by your own thought action. This does not take long years of study, nor need you go through training or hardships or deprivation."

Anyone who will really try to purify their body for three months will realize the truth about the path outlined in these journals. The physical, mental and spiritual results are immediate and very uplifting. This way is not new, but thousands of years old, and has been buried by orthodox teachings because the priesthood of all ages and places has wanted to suppress the truth and keep the people in bondage.

Maybe you cannot agree with what I am saying or doing. That's fine. My purpose here is to tell you what I am doing, and the results I get. And I hope you will do the same for me...tell me what you are doing and the results you get, on your path to uniting your conscious mind with your Soul. Sharing experiences and information is an important part of the seekers path as outlined here.

We are all one Being, trying to overcome our separation from God, to return to God, to become one with God, to become Whole. ONE.

Whatever way you choose... stay on the path. Let your Inner Voice be your guide.

My Inner Voice
Is my guide
My Inner voice
Always speaks true

Brings me peace

I became so emotionally upset today, thinking about a verbal
exchange I had with a person last week, that I lost control of my raw vegetarian diet. I ate a tofu meat loaf sandwich, which Juanita had prepared. No big deal really, but it does illustrate the point I have mentioned several times, to withdraw, and live a quiet, peaceful life where the mind can always be calm and serene.

First day of spring. Soon I will be going barefoot outside again and sunbathing and gardening.

Something a seeker should be aware of (and beware of) is alternating current electricity close to their body. Alternating current electricity is regular household power. Alternating current, because it pulses, interferes with the bodies natural direct current which flows steadily from positive to negative poles.

In cold climates, hot water bottles or heated bricks wrapped in towels should be used instead of heating pads or electric blankets. And a person should be careful not to sleep next to a wall with power lines running along inside, close to the body.

There has been some evidence found that overhead power lines can cause cancer. It would be a good idea not to live for any length of time near any high voltage electrical power transmission equipment.

Electricity is very useful but it is not natural, it is manmade, and should be used with care.When I say a seeker should live a natural lifestyle, I don't mean that they should give up all modern conveniences and move into a cave like the sadhus in the Himalayas.

If someone feels they need to live in a cave to live a spiritual life, that's fine, but I don't think that it is a necessity. It does matter, some, where you live, but the main thing is how you live.

We are both blessed and cursed by living in the modern world...in a technological society; but I don't think we should reject all technological conveniences just because they are man-made and not natural. We should be aware and careful when using energy and devices that are man-made and could harm us, but some of them can be used to great advantage.

For the first time in history, common people, have the means to communicate worldwide, almost instantly, through the use of the computer and the internet. It may seem a bit strange to think of using high technology to impart spiritual knowledge, but the fact is that we are here, now, in this time and place, and the technology is available to everyone. It would be foolhardy not to use it.

Now for the first time, a seeker of truth, can withdraw a bit from the ordinary world and practice living a spiritual life and still be able to explore for spiritual truths around the world without stepping out of their front door. We have the means to exchange spiritual information and experiences, have companionship and support from people of like minds and be able to decide for ourselves how much we want to be involved at any given time.

I believe we should make use of the things that we need in the ordinary world, leave the rest, and not get involved in the insanity.

We have the possibility of both the privacy of a cave in the high Himalayas and the access to communication and information from all over the world. I believe, we, as modern day seekers of the truth, are blessed with a rare opportunity to realize our full spiritual potential and help create Heaven on Earth. Use the computer to exchange ideas with other seekers... but always listen to the Inner Voice for true guidance.

To give food
Is an offering
Of love
To the body,
To give love
Is an offering
Of food
To the Soul.

The following quote states exactly how I feel about the seekers path.

"I ask nobody to follow me. Everyone should follow his own inner voice." Gandhi

Gandhi also said, "I have known many meat eaters to be far more non-violent than vegetarians." It is an interesting fact that Hitler was a vegetarian.

It seems that some people are predisposed to spirituality and they may have no understanding at all about what they should eat. They may live a very moral spiritual life, but their spiritual growth will be inhibited by their lack of physical and mental purity.

I have not been able to reestablish my raw food diet that I lost control of on
3-17-02.

I believe that sincerely praising others achievements expands a persons spirit, on the other hand, seeking praise diminishes it.

I have often read the following two lines in the Friday Morning Essene Communion about the Angel of Air. I have wondered if the Essenes were referring to some type of Yoga meditation which controls the rhythm of the breath. And if so, which school of yoga would they be referring to?

"For the rhythm of thy breath is the key to knowledge,
Which doth reveal the Holy Law. "

This afternoon I was reading an excerpt from Alice A. Bailey's, The Light of the Soul, and found the following paragraphs:

"The Yoga Sutras [of Patanjali] are the basic teaching of the Trans-Himalayan School to which many of the Masters of Wisdom belong, and many students hold that the Essenes and other schools of mystical training and thought...are based upon the same system and that their teachers were trained in the great Trans-Himalayan School."

"Patanjali was a compiler of teachings which, up until the time of his advent, had been given orally for many centuries. He was the first to reduce the teaching to writing for the use of students and hence he was regarded as the founder of Raja Yoga school."

It seems that the early Essenes may have incorporated the spiritual teachings of Patanjali and the breathing discipline of Raja Yoga meditation.

The book, Raja Yoga, is of particular interest to me because of the way the book came to me. The day I was leaving to go overseas during the Korean War, my Great Aunt (the spiritualist minister) was inspired to give me her set of, The Life and Teaching of the Masters of the Far East. (See 6-22-01) She also gave me two other small books that day: The Impersonal Life; and Raja Yoga, by Swami Vivekananda.

Books that come to me through my own inspiration, I feel have important information that I was meant to have. And I feel the same way, about books that others were inspired to give me. I am very grateful for the books that have "come to me", and I thank all those who have helped in my receiving them.

Basically, all dis-ease of the body and of the mind are caused by what a person eats.

3-27-02
I lose contact with my Inner Voice when I fast and my blood becomes foul from elimination of toxic waste, when I continually eat a poor diet and my blood becomes polluted with impure foods, or when I become emotionally upset. It seems that my Inner Voice needs physical and mental purity to function.

Easter Sunday.

"Through His life and ministry, Jesus demonstrated enduring lessons of love, compassion, and forgiveness. His life was a prayer of peace and fulfillment. As I walk my path in life, I choose to follow the footsteps of Jesus."

"Inspired by His loving message:

My view of the world comes through eyes sparkling with hope and courage.

My heart fills with warm feelings of understanding and appreciation for others.

My hands reach out to those around me to offer support and encouragement."

"I follow the spiritual principles for living taught by Jesus, the Master Teacher. As I do, I express love, compassion, and forgiveness, I have newfound hope in my heart, for I am assured that my every need is met by a loving, all-providing God."

"Jesus showed humankind the way to live abundantly, to bring peace to the Soul and peace to the world. These lessons have found a home in my heart, and through them I am developing a deeper relationship with God day by day."

From: The Christ in You, Unity School of Christianity.

May your Inner Voice guide you all the days of your life.
