How to Return to Your Spirit Self (WD)

This Much Should Be Clear By Now: We originated in a field of energy that has no boundaries. Before entering the world of form, we were in-Spirit—a piece of God, if you will. We began entering this physical world first as a particle, then as a cell, then as a fetus, then as an infant, and ultimately as a fully developed human being. But our ultimate purpose all along was to experience “the unitive knowledge of God,” as Huxley so beautifully puts it. 

Sadly, when we began our human training, we were taught to abandon most of our spiritual identity and adopt a new one based on ego consciousness, or a sense of being separate from Spirit. In other words, we came here from a place of inspiration and intended to stay that way—unfortunately, we forgot to do so, and we ended up abandoning most of our inspiring notions in favor of a consensus of “reality” that didn’t include Spirit. We chose the false self, which is why we so inexplicably feel off-purpose. 

When You Are Inspired… 
Your Consciousness Expands in Every Direction 

Try to imagine yourself living in a world that has no direction: There’s no north, south, east, or west; there’s no up or down; and there’s no past or future. In this world, any direction is every direction. As difficult as it is to imagine a directionless Universe, that’s exactly what the world of Spirit looks and feels like. 

When we’re in-Spirit, every direction is possible for us at every moment because our consciousness happens within our mind. Now this inner world of ours, reunited with its originating essence, doesn’t think in only one direction; rather, it allows all possibilities. Our consciousness is in the absolute state of allowing—all resistance, in the form of thoughts, is nonexistent. 

I’m speaking of a feeling that comes over us when we’re inspired by a “great purpose, [an] extraordinary project,” where we experience the bliss of an expanded consciousness with the unsurpassed allowing of any and all possibilities to enter into our daily life. We cease looking for answers in a directional way—they don’t come from someplace north or west of us, nor are they arriving from up above or impeded by something down below. We begin to feel the larger sense of life, what being a part of all is like once again. 

Is there any place that God isn’t? And if we came from God, then mustn’t we be like God? You see, we’re already connected to everything we need when we’re inspired—what takes place is a realignment within us that allows for every thing, every event, and every person to merge in our inspirited consciousness. When we reemerge into the perfect oneness of Spirit, we view everyone we meet as an ally through our inspired way of life. We feel extraordinarily guided and attract people, events, and circumstances to join us in our inspired state because our world has transcended from the elementary cause-and-effect, birth-to-death path to all directions simultaneously. We’re living at maximum allowing, with nonexistent resistance. We’re back in-Spirit. 

Some exercises to Return to Spirit 

• Make an attempt to spend some time each day in a state of meditation, wherein you let go of all ideas about time, space, and linear directionality. Just allow yourself to be… Imagine yourself without a body or any possessions and attachments—in this way, you’ll begin to emulate the world of Spirit. It’s out of this nondirectionality, with no backward or forward, up or down, or north and south, that you’ll brush right up against inspiration. Such a feeling may come out of nowhere, but it will appear when you do everything you can to emulate connectedness with Spirit.

• Repeat this mantra to yourself as often as you can, making it a ritual that only you are privy to: I have absolutely no limits on what I intend to create. By repeating these words, you’ll find that you slip into the world of Spirit where limitlessness defines all reality.
