SILENCE AND DEATH TO THE LOWER SELF

Silence and death to the lower self



Dear Friends

I hope you are well cosy and warm, enjoying your weekend at home ...

Winter time and silence are often associated with death or sleep…

Nature tends to die or hide in winter and some wild animals to hibernate…

Far from seeing this as something scary and dreadful, we understand that
nature needs a break to renew itstelf and bring new birth in the spring…

However when it comes to our own future physical death not many of us enjoy this
perspective….

It is that some of us fail to acknowledge that life on earth is a spiritual journey where one
is given many opportunities to die to lower self or physical self through spiritual
exercises...methodically prepared by the loving hand of Universalove/Source Divine
to help us grow spiritually….

The central spiritual experience one needs to be graced with is the discovery that our
physical self/lower self must die so our spiritual self/higher self can take all the place
and live through the spirit …

Because if one keeps on living by identifying only to the lower self/physical self,
at the time where our eternal soul will leave our physical body...we will find this one
very ill and ugly, twisted by dependant addictions which vilifies it and enslave it to evil
choices because renewed materialistic choices lead to only feed the physical body/
lower self whilst our higher self gets asphyxiated and deformed…

It is very sad but some of us are totally ignorant that our true being is indeed spiritual
and that our true inner being will live eternally...even after the death of our physical body..

This is why some dont realise the huge paradox and difference between inner beauty
of the higher self and outer beauty of the physical self….
Some spend a huge amount of time and money on perishable materialistic trends…
As for instance the trend of cosmetic surgery for some ladies who refuse natural physical
ageing….One can see a difference between the surgeon knife intentions and the results
on their faces as some of them become more and more monstruous looking….
This monstruosity is not only a physical one but also the reflexion of the condition of their
soul inside which is unfortunately getting more and more ugly…


In the same manner some younger females we see outwardly as very attractive but are greedy
vain, selfish, arrogant etc and dont spend any time in growing a better person inside…
if leaving suddenly their physical body ...one would be surprised at the uglyness of their
true self inside in total contrast to what was seen as their physical beauty…


Part of the reason why some senior males hate the sight of older females and keep on and on
hanging out with younger models is rooted into their spiritual immaturity….
Fear of physical death leads to a repulsion for some of any sign of physical ageing …
So their scape goat becomes older females who they hate as impersonating their dreadful
fright at ageing themselves projecting in unbearable manner their own future death..

Spiritual growth which implies a continual death to lower self/physical self matched
by a continual rebirth and growth of the higher self/spiritual self...helps us to not be
scared of the final physical death to come for all of us ….
This helps us to even see physical death as beneficial to us…
The more we spend time to grow our higher self/spiritual self and allow Universalove/Light etc
to graciously inhabit all our being so that all darkness progressively is inundated by a
benevolent holy healing white spiritual light...through the work in us of the Holy Spirit…
the more we come to enjoy connecting with our higher self/spiritual self to only live through
the Spirit instead of keeping our soul slave of the materialism of the lower self/physical self…

Lower energies, vulgar energies can keep feeding our soul as Higher energies but it is this different quality of food given to our soul which brings about opposit results….
We can see a great difference between junk food and healthy food for our physical bodies…
however some dont understand the difference between junk and healthy food for our souls…

Unfortunately such difference can be lethal concerning our spiritual destination the day
our spiritual self will leave our physical body….

We will all reap not only the consequences of our actions but the consequences of our attitudes
and who we truly made of ourselves inside…
We can become our greatest reward or our greatest punishment to ourself…

No need to accuse Source Divine to be mean and cruel and to stand there with a stick
to punish us….
Unfortunately but truly we DO IT TO OURSELVES….

In the material world no one with a bit of sense would accuse others if they drop a knife on the floor
and if this knife hurt their own foot….because everyone can see the direct causality between
one dropping the knife and the knife hurting the foot…

However when the spiritual realm remains an unkown world to some ...they react as absurdly
by blaming Source Divine….

When I say they...I should say us...including myself...because even when one spends a lifetime
working at growing spiritually a better person inside...cultivating spiritual food and habit for
the higher self growth etc...one still at times can get confused …

Some people who smoke or enslave their physical bodies and souls to addiction are sometimes
unable to admit this simple causality ...because they find comfort in their addiction fleeing from
the pain some inner wounds inflicts them continually…

When we dont take time to grow spiritually and to feed our higher self with healthy spiritual
food...we all tend to feel overwhelmed by the inner pain of our inner wounds and it is at such
time that our soul is in danger to slip and take the wrong road ...which will cause grave damage
to our souls…

The lack of patience of immature people who only cultivate the pleasure of their senses and refuse to die to lower self… is usually matched by their refusal of silence and waiting…

Remaining silent and waiting is impossible to some….as they did not achieve sufficient
inner growth spiritually and are so slaves of their lower self/physical self that they must
feed the monster continually any addiction….

The good news Source Divine Christ came to bring to all of us is that no matter how far
one is from Universalove/light nature because of ones bad choices ...it is possible through
dying to our lower self/physical body and getting reborn to our higher self/spiritual self to change
completely…

Yes you would say anyhow each one of us will die physically and live spiritually…
However I would reply the whole difference is in what kind of spiritual body
and what kind of higher self will we be at the time of our death….

Accepting the free gift of Christ/Source Divine to receive His/Her true essence of Universalove/Light etc within our own higher self is allowing a good seed to be planted
in a spiritual being to grow to maturity for eternity ….

Whilst those who have instead attached their spiritual being to their lower self would
have planted terrible seeds of evil addictions and bad habit...which will grow like
weeds inside and rendered their souls monstruous…

We need to really reflect upon these spiritual realities as real as the material realities
we can see….

Accepting the virtues of silence is also accepting to die to the necessity to see first…

We must learn to believe without seeing to grow spiritually...as only this first step
will help us develop spiritual eyes...which can see the spiritual realm…

It takes a while for our spiritual eyes to operate properly and we need some good
training for this...This is how some can see in advance...spiritual visions...which
turn in what we call miracles…

Miracles are at the root conditioned by our free willing to accept the inner silence through
death to the materialistic laws of our physical universe...to open up to the spiritual laws of
the spiritual realm ….

When we focus on the spiritual realm we also find that good and evil forces operate there
and we must also choose to connect with the good ones not the evil ones…

Because some can be very spiritual and understand that materialism is a cause of
fall but choose to connect with evil spiritual dark forces instead of Universalove essence…

To end this ...since it is not the object of this post…

I wish to return to the fact that it is paramount to see the virtues of silence and its
importance to our spiritual growth as much as the need for us to accostum to death
of the lower self/physical self to allow our higher self/spiritual self to grow…

This will make our final departure from this physical world a lot less painful
of course depending on where we chose to go…


I hope this helps

Enjoy your journey

THE VIRTUES OF SILENCE

THE VIRTUES OF SILENCE








Dear Friends

Firstly I wish you all a very peacefull New Year…
Winter is often a time to meditate, pray, think, dream, rest,relax,etc.. 
renew your energy !
To fly higher like the eagle in the spring!

You may have noticed that I am often in and out of social media.
I am not always active.

Certainly...like for yourselves...it is partly because I am tied up with
other projects…

But mainly because I have come to learn to appreciate the virtues of 
silence and this is what I wish to share with you today.

Some of my friends are not present on social media because they say its only
virtual and it portrays an artificial reality which has nothing to do
with our real daily lives….where we must remain committed and where we are
expected to make a real difference…

It is true that for some...the social media can create an illusion…
where egoes boast out of place, conterfiet and out of proportion with
their real inner level and identity…


But to others, and we hope to be amongst them it is also a place to humbly
 share spiritual positive teachings and discoveries for our common benefit,
 as we do right now, make a difference for humanitarian causes by winning
 more to contribute to them, influence and impact a better world today etc etc

Anything, as you know, dear friends, can be used in a negative or positive
manner…

However over communicating is as bad as under communicating.

In our mediatic world, one is continually bombarded with so much information
that it becomes disinformation…
Advertising, reality shows etc it seems we need to know everything about
 everyone all the time !

Having to say hello without purpose, a thousand times a day can be as much 
distressing as improductive...and leading us nowhere...except than more stressed
then unable to meet our daily challenges with positive energy.

We truly need to learn not to take offence when some of us choose to reduce
 their communication to more constructive messages which are aiming at building
up the community rather than sinking us in the muddy waters of confusion.

But further, the virtues of silence are as essential to human relationships as
communication….

Benjamin Franklin called silence a virtue…
http://robertpaulweston.com/blog/silence-is-a-virtue/

Silence has a deep golden quality in itself…

I copied following some links praising some of the many benefits of silence
 so you might choose the
topic important to you and read it…


However I wish to explain what are the virtues of silence...in my own
experience...

As we need to renew our deeper self to reach out to our higher self…
we need solitude and silence.

Silence has its own music and own still voice talking to us at a deeper
level…

We cant hear silence if we are involved in continual communication with others.

We dont always have to communicate the lessons of silence to others.

Some must remain silent. 

As silence will purify our souls from confusion….

Silence contributes to our inner cleansing and inner order…

It is for some and more and more nowadays very painful to remain silent…

Why ?

On one hand, the habit of noise and over communication linked to our modern
civilization can become an addiction difficult to break like any addiction.

On another hand, we dont like to be confronted by real deep truth inside
about who we are ...what we are doing...and sometimes we tend to flee…
the truth… or because it hurts too much or because we dont want to grow 
or change….

If you feel uncomfortable with silence...it shows it is time for you to
take this seriously and discipline yourself to take small times of silence
to start with before you get completely burnt out or before you fall in 
dangerous traps…

Silence and wisdom are sisters….
Silence brings you the distance you need to assess deep experiences in life
so to find the gold in it to bring about positive key solutions…

We all need space/distance...to assess...situations...and find solutions…
to the many challenges confronting us…

We also need this distance/space in relationships…

When conflict arises it is often adviced to keep silent…
for a short or longer period of time to gain the space we need to grow
or to allow the other party to grow…


Also when you realise you dont have anything kind or positive to say
its better to keep silent...than to fuel an argument…

This does not mean you should avoid all confrontation. But no one has a right
to impose their own version of facts by force to others.

We need to live and let live. Agree to disagree…
Sometimes disagreements are so deep that only silence can guarantee
mutual peace…

Instead of rushing to wars to coerce the opposite side...its best
to keep the distance of silence with a positive attitude…to reach out to
a win win situation...as time and silence have their efficient toil…
 to undoing deep knots...


A few days before Christmas my husband and I met in the train
 a man who was praying intensely holding his rosary.

He was continually walking in the compartment and many were watching him.

After a while, I approached him asking him if everything was allright…

I could see in his expression a grave determination and serenity…

He told me his house had just burnt and he was now going to stay
with family…

He also told me that faith is to believe what we dont see...that few
understand the ways of God...that apparent evil tests can hide a deeper
blessing we can only understand later….

Then he went back in his deep prayer…

I wish to share this with you because such distance brought 
by the virtues of silence can help us realise the true meaning of any
 challenge occuring in our
lives rather than criple us with discouragment if we take everything only
at face value on the spur of the moment…

I believe this man retiring in his prayer and silence...even amongst people…

developped a healthy habit allowing him to only focus on the true meaning
of things and events in his life…
avoiding him to lose energy and time in negative outbursts...or wrong
interpretations…

I was really struck at how calm and positive he was in spite of the obvious
immediate pain at the discovery that his only house had burnt down…
and he had nothing left just before christmas….


Instead of wasting time and energy in complaining...he was hiding within 
the distance of the virtues of silence ….purifying him from first degree human
weakness...strengthening him with inner spiritual wisdom !

So dear friends, please dont be upset if I keep at times silent on twitter
its not because I dont care...but it is because I care to only share the
best which can edify us...and make a good difference in our lives…

Hoping this will help you like it helped me…

I copied following a series of articles you might like to read…

Much love,

sister lucy
