WE ARE UNIVERSAL CHILDREN

Poop started dropping out of the back of the little boy’s shorts as he desperately ran down the sidewalk to make it home. A lesson in life like this helps us get our minds in touch with our bodies. A saying that I heard is “bring the body and the mind will follow.” Early lessons like this prepare us for the awareness of our Self.

By Self, I mean our mind with our body. The conscious part of our minds that observes even what goes on in our minds (THE WATCHER) is our Universal Spirit. This same Spirit is in us all. Seeing, knowing and understanding that we all share the exact-same Spirit is an intuitive realization of what has been called the “higher mind.” The more that you learn, study and observe your Self within interpersonal communication with others, the more you become conscious of your Self among others. This is part of higher consciousness. This is how the saying “we are ONE” becomes realized. Becoming conscious of your Self among others is the purpose of your life. Becoming conscious of your Self among others elevates you into “higher love.”

Along with realizing higher love comes the understanding that my personal behavior affects the well being of really everyone else because we are ONE. We as the human race are a connected Whole. If we truly want to realize our true Spiritual/Psycho/Physical nature we need to surrender to God, or the Universe, or to Higher Power, as we understand Higher Power. This has to be a complete surrender of your heart for the discovery of truth. You do this the best as you can to discover truth through your particular body. If you surrender only part of your heart your heart will be limited in what it sees. In a false or partial heart surrender you will seem separate from others and feel a need to control affairs and even be dishonest. A full heart surrender makes permanent long-lasting changes that are aligned with truth. You should not compare your Self to others in every way. Universal Spirit is prompting your particular Self among other particular Selves to understand your particular Self. If you truly enact a true ongoing heart surrender you will experience illumination after illumination in your life. Illuminations can give you the ability to see into others with understanding. Always ask your Self if you are generally being ethical in your undertakings. You have to strive to be conscious of your behavior at all times. Know your intentions and do not kid your Self about your intentions. Your intentions must be kept pure and not partially pure. If your intentions are not pure affairs will stay imbalanced. If your intention is not good for all involved your intention could be considered a sin. Sins are lies and we really need to eliminate one lie at a time.

Once we understand that we have gained control of our Selves, or our bodies, within the environment we need not ever stop expanding our understanding. In the opening paragraph I say, “bring the body and the mind will follow. Using myself as an example, I completely surrendered my heart to God as I took up running and hatha yoga. I knew that I needed to discipline myself in order, for me, to perform stand-up comedy as best as I could. My decision to surrender prepared me to achieve the ability to understand, know, and see our Universal Spirit. This is a healthy understanding that I use to help others. I help others to understand their particular Self among others. Once you truly see our Universal Self you realize that you have truly realized something precious – US. You realize that you are highly effective once you make this achievement of Self-Realization.

The more that we get in touch with our bodies through whatever means, the more we get in touch with our minds. Your mind is part of the Universal Mind. I was riding on a bus in San Francisco in a Spanish-speaking area. An older man sat down next to me who was drinking a Heineken that was wrapped in a small paper bag. I remarked to the man that I saw he was enjoying a beer. He said that he was and we had a good conversation for a few blocks. He got up to leave and in the doorway of the bus he held up his Heineken and said, “Always be prepared amigo.”

I was born in Wisconsin to a Roman Catholic family. My mother June was a talented writer and started her own service club. My father Joe was a Right-of-Way agent for Bell telephone. Joe was an avid golfer and overall sports enthusiast. Joe would play sports with me and I became a life-long athlete. I was known as a rebel and was expelled from the Catholic school I attended at the age of fourteen. I was arrested at nineteen for being a thief and was placed on probation. Around this time, not being happy, I turned inward. I worked at different jobs that did not satisfy my budding inner life. I traveled down south several times reading books trying to find myself. In 1980, at the age of twenty-seven, I enrolled at a local college. I was now in an interesting environment. I was curious about almost everything and I eventually majored in speech and psychology or speaking and thinking. Many people told me that I was funny. I was able to make them laugh about unusual subjects. In the summers of 1981 and 1982, while still a college student, I traveled to Minneapolis and pursued the art of stand-up comedy. During these summers I would write comedy, run twenty-five miles a week and perform comedy at night. I was also a juggler but did not juggle in my stand-up act. I took up Hatha yoga and studied nutrition. In Minneapolis, I interacted with the local up-and-coming comedians. Minneapolis at that time had a small close-knit comedy culture that produced a good number of comedians and some became quite famous. I was making audiences laugh shortly after I started. During this time I was also performing comedy in other cities. I planned on being a professional comedian. Catholicism conditioned me to have a clear inner voice. I had to make people laugh and the only way I could see to do it was to be brutally honest with myself. I thought honesty would align me with common reality. The Sisters of St. Agnes, who taught me, always told me to tell the truth. So I was continually examining myself and weeding out delusional thinking. This became my way of life. One day in 1983, I was alone at my parents house and all of a sudden I had a massive spontaneous kundalini awakening. The awakening of this spiritual energy made me realize my self. I achieved the ability, among others, to see through other peoples egos or read their hearts. I was forever changed. In 1983 there was no internet or otherwise easily accessible information for me to be able to find out what had happened to me. Because of the massive explosion of energy my nervous and digestive system had to rebuild. Due to what happened to me, I changed my plans and soon moved in with my best friend and her son. We lived together for many years. I hid out in college going on and off for thirteen years. I read one book after another to understand what happened to me. I eventually received an M.A. in Speech/Rhetoric and also amassed many extra college credits. Currently I am an investor and forever a student. I am repentant of the trouble I got into years ago and the embarrassment it brought to my parents. People that knew me when I was a kid remark that I sure changed my ways. I went through what I call psycho/spiritual/physical alchemy or I transformed myself by healing the past and living in the ongoing present.
