The Attitude is What Makes a Spiritual Person

This quote comes from William LePar's lecture titled: Love and Being Loved from the recent publication, Return to Eden, The Universal Being Lectures of William LePar.

LePar: I truly believe this is the most important bit of information The Council has ever given us because it is the key to everything. It is the key to why we are here. It goes like this:

The Council: "We said that spirituality is an attitude. Yes, it is. It is that simple. It is an attitude of love, of giving, of compassion, of commitment, of thinking about the next person before you think about yourself."

LePar: Think about that. I’ve been talking to you about love. Love is giving. Love is being willing to commit yourself to an individual so that you give to them totally. Thinking about them before you think about yourself. Did we ever stop to think that in doing that we’re actually achieving spirituality? If spirituality is an attitude of giving and loving and commitment then all of life is nothing more than an attitude and what is an attitude? It’s the way we choose to look at any given situation. The way we choose to look. Love is an attitude and with that attitude I guarantee you 100% that you are going to grow spiritually.

The Harmonic Convergence and the End of the Mayan Calendar.

This is much longer than my usual posting but I felt that you would find the entire piece interesting in light of last year's ending of the Mayan calendar. Mr. LePar's spiritual source, The Council answers a question about an event that was considered by many people to be as significant as the Mayan ending last year. Those of you familiar with astrology will recognize what is being discussed but I believe we can all learn from what The Council says about situations of this nature. On the surface it appears that not much happened but perhaps that is not entirely true! Notice in particular the analogy of making bread. It is very difficult for the finite mind of man to grasp the infinite. Using analogies is the method that The Council uses to teach us.

Questioner: What is the significance of the event that happens on August 23, 1987? There is going to be a rare alignment of planets in the sign of Leo which takes us into Virgo. At that time the sun, the moon, Mercury, Venus, and Mars will all be in those two signs, so what can we expect? What does this mean? Is this the start of the Aquarian Age? Is it the ending of old cultures and beliefs?

The Council: Well, we do not wish to get into astrology, but we can answer the question sufficiently, if you are willing to listen closely to what we say. No one should doubt the influence of the heavenly bodies. It is, how shall we put it, almost proven, at least proven by those who are more advanced thinkers in the scientific field. Those who are still in the medieval age, of course, will never see beyond their nose, but setting that aside for now. Whenever you have unusual alignments, you have increased influences in all of creation. Now, for us to say that something dramatic will transpire on a particular date would be foolish on our part, because what will transpire most of the world will not sense or see or feel because before anything manifests in the physical plane, it must have been created and formed in a higher plane. The additional influences or unnatural or unusual influences by particular alignments add a stimulus to the level of formation or that level where all thought, whether they be prayerful thought or just meditative thought, mesh with the forces of creation and each individual's output, mentally and prayerfully. There in that level it is similar to the making of dough or bread dough. All the ingredients are placed in a large container. They are mixed, kneaded together, allowed to rise, kneaded again, allowed to rise, kneaded again, and ready for the heat of the furnace or the oven, which is the proving of the efforts and the ingredients. What lies in store for mankind is solely created by their concepts, and their physical concepts or standards are a direct reflection of their true status as a spiritual creation. At one time we said you could judge what level you are, now this is at a soul level, by your character. In that particular time slot that you referred to (August 23, 1987) additional influences will be added to the level of formation. It is not a situation where at one minute the influences or the energies are turned off and a few minutes later or a few days later they are switched on again. It is not an on and off situation. What you have is a gradual buildup of this energy and then a gradual waning of that energy, yet that energy has acted as the yeast in the bread dough.

What will transpire will be determined directly by what has come before and what will come after. In other words, what is created and ready to ... descend to the physical manifestation can be modified and changed according to the moment by moment change of the entire influences of creation. The biggest input to those influences are all of you as soul entities, or soul beings. So, if man has created a dark future, it will come, but it can be modified on a moment by moment situation or state of existence according to how man changes his outlook for the future. That, of course, is done by the way he changes his lifestyle. Why do certain calendars end? We could say that those who have created the calendars or who have been responsible for the calendars had to have some time to stop, some place in creation the future projections had to stop. What better place than at some unusual situation? That is what we could say. Possibly, something to think about is it is a doorway. Possibly, the wisdom of years gone by or centuries gone by or times gone by have been utilized to project man's outlook into the future only up to a certain point, and hopefully by doing so man has raised his conscious level, his spiritual insight, his spiritual outlook, so that by the time one reaches that doorway he has created for himself a whole new world or a whole new heaven or a whole new state of existence. For some people, a life of great prosperity will start, and we are speaking "prosperity" in the sense spiritual prosperity and emotional prosperity. For others, nothing will change; everything will stay the same. And yet for others, it will be the beginning of a downhill slide. Although all of the future is created by the combination or the combined efforts of all who are existing in the physical manifestation, you as individuals create your own future and your own state of existence within the framework of that great state of existence. We have attempted to instigate in each of you a positive outlook for yourself and for mankind, yet at the same time we have laced that attitude with a bleak picture that may exist for your futures. This was done so that it would act as a stimulus to be more constructive, more determined, to make the day that you all deserve, and that is a day of blue skies and bright sun. Some have been very successful. Some, we would say, could be classified as marginal. Others have only been superficial in their efforts and their rewards will be superficial. The old wise men were truly wise. They tried to push man into the future with a glimmer of hope and then bring him to a doorway that must be crossed through, leaving the other side to his imagination and thusly to his powers of creation.

Little Ways We can Grow Spiritually.

William LePar's spiritual source has encouraged us to seek ways to become more spiritual. In this quote they give us some ideas on making spirituality a part of our daily activities. This opens the door to great rewards for each of us when these efforts become habits.

The Council: Taking small situations wherein you can demonstrate your desire for greater spirituality begins to further chip away at your present state, and making these small good habits, such as kindness, a pleasant smile, a good word, making these then a part of your everyday manifestation they begin to grow then.

Maybe on the, shall we say, first week you would only be pleasant once a day or have a good word or a kind word once a day, but then the second week you may try it twice a day, and then three times a day and so on and so forth, till whenever you speak to an individual you speak first with the thought of kindness towards them before any word comes out of your mouth, and then love and then works, actual works, kindness and love and charity; and so you recondition that subconscious area, thus it changes the physical; but the physical must also be trained; the spirit to your being will influence the physical from exterior sources by bringing the physical in contact with the right individuals, the proper individuals, who have a godly attitude, thus you consciously gain knowledge and experiences, while the spirit itself manipulates through this area of the conscious that carries the karmic debt, and so you work with yourself, influencing from both ends.

A Mother's Day Message

With mother's day approaching I thought that I would present something from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, that gives a little different perspective on the male and female.

The Council:  Without the female there can be no development of anything.  It is absolutely necessary for the female.  In actuality the female will be the deliverance of the masculine aspect.  Here is an explanation then.  In the original fall it was the masculine aspect who heard the challenge but the masculine is the thought; the thought cannot produce unless it has a substance to form from; the masculine is the godly thought, the feminine is the material former.  In the very beginning it was the masculine thought that hesitated; the masculine hesitated at the challenge.  For this hesitation to manifest it was necessary for it to manifest through the other facet of the entity's being and that would be the feminine aspect.  It is true that the feminine aspect is responsible for the fall, but it is even more true that the masculine is the original one that is guilty, because the feminine is a lower vibration of the masculine, yet it is an absolute necessity.  It is the prime mover, it is the foundation, and just as it was the cause of the Fall, so it shall be the way back.  Without the feminine aspect, without the female, no man or no masculine aspect can return to his God.  So it is through Eve then that you shall be    reborn, as the fundamentalists would put it, or as the orthodox religion would put it, because it is through this feminine aspect that you are capable of bringing the acts of love into the material aspect.  Now the masculine aspect of each of your beings is belligerent, and, shall we say, staunch, hard, stiff.  The feminine aspect is the gentle; it is the mother; it is the giver; and so it is through this aspect then that you shall manifest the love of the Divine.

Nothing can be accomplished without the female.  In the future in the new existence the female will be absolutely indispensable; even now her position and her proper place determines whether a family grows together or falls apart; she is actually the foundation of all spirituality.  Those manifesting males who are spiritual are only spiritual because they are capable of using the feminine aspect of their androgynous being in proper avenues of expression.  The manifesting female is that being which comes in to express in a very active and positive way of demonstrating the totality of God's Love, so the female is absolutely indispensable.  When a female holds her rightful position properly, she is the closest thing to God possible in physical form.

Moonstone to Relieve Stress

In this quote from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, they discuss the value of moonstone in relieving stress. They rarely talk about the value of various stones but this is one of the times where they did share information with us.

Questioner: May I ask if there would be another stone that would be beneficial for the high-strung individual who would be under stress?

The Council: For a person under a great deal of stress or tension, what is normally referred to as a moonstone or a white quartz. It often resembles, when polished, a translucent egg shell color or in some cases it can be a much whiter or pearl color. The common moonstone that children find in general quarries would be this particular type of stone we are referring to. In its unpolished state, it is a dull chalky white. In its polished state, it can have what appears to be fractures in it that would give a certain degree of translucent or opalescent color to it. Maintaining that on the body will bring some soothing effects to an individual. Playing with it or rubbing it in the hands, toying with it, will also increase that effect. Rubbed across the forehead and in the back of the head at the base of the skull at the top of the neck, the stone rubbed across that area, from left to right or right to left as opposed to up and down, will also add some soothing effects. In regards to what we refer to as the common moonstone or cloudy quartz or white quartz, they go by a number of different names, it should, when used as a tension reliever or a calmer of stress, it should be in its polished state, as opposed to its natural state.

Guardian Angels

As all of you know, each of us have our own personal guardian angels to help us in our efforts at spiritual growth. This bit of information from William LePar's spiritual source, The Council, gives a little insight into the very beginning of our relationship to God's angels.

The Council: Thus, when you were made He commanded His angels that they should serve you just as they serve Him. Now again, you will have to think in terms of consciousness. We use "spirits" but we are not talking about spirits as you would normally consider. These are living forces, living energies. These are spiritual electricities. You, you are a spiritual electricity. An angel is a spiritual electricity. God is the Awe-Inspiring, the Totality of all of the spiritual electricity, you see, and as God created those beings to serve Him, He also created them to serve and adore you, and it was their choice, some, that they should not; but since you are made in the likeness and image of God, you, He felt, should have servants or what have you just as He did.

Our Connection with God - In the Beginning.

In this quote from William LePar's spiritual source they tell us that those of us in the earth plane or the material manifestation have lost, to a degree, our awareness of our true godly state. It has been partially severed. We still need this connection to survive, and it is our goal to strengthen that connection until we have recovered all of our awareness that has been lost over time.

This posting is a little longer than most of my posts, but I think that you will find the explanation very interesting. The last portion was posted previously, so what you have here is a more complete picture of The Council's explanation.

Questioner: You said, "In the beginning, at the time of the Fall, it was necessary to tap into God for our essence to create," and, if this is so, is it still necessary, are we still dependent on that?

The Council: Most assuredly, you are still dependent on it. Now, what example could we give that would be easily understood? Suppose you were to take the electrical system of a home, now you have a wire from your power company coming to your home, and it goes into the house to a master box, and from that box then you have all sorts of other wires that run here and there. You may cut off any of the other wires and the rest will work properly. Or, from the point of that wire that you cut off, beyond the cut-off point anything up to that would run, anything beyond that would not. As long as the main line comes into the house, there is life in the house, there is electricity; but suppose that you did not sever any of the smaller lines but severed the main line that came into the house, what would you have running that used electricity in the house then? Nothing. In some way you could apply this example to the connection you have with the Divine; you see, you were acts of love and these acts of love, although you may consider them to be tremendous beings (in your physical mind, of course, you cannot truly comprehend) but in the spiritual awareness, each of you was a tremendous ball of energy that was formed and developed, but this energy was in its very, shall we say, fetus stage, so that it constantly needed nourishment for its further growth, much as a mother carries a child. As long as the child is within her womb, she must feed that child and it is the same with you. Your Divine Father constantly fed you for your growth. Before you were fully matured where you could go your own way under your own steam, you decided to cut the umbilical cord. Well, actually, you can never do that, but we are using symbols or figurative speaking.

Since you decided to sever the umbilical cord, you had not fully matured, so as it stands now you have severed only part of that cord, so that the full intensity of your godly awareness is not yours; that is by choice. You cannot exist if you sever that cord completely, for that which feeds you would not be there, and eventually you would, so to speak, burn yourself out: the same in the heavens, there are suns that grow in intensity, but in time they burn themselves out, and they no longer exist. Now, each of you are still babes: you are still in your mother's womb; and the Divine is still feeding you, giving you the nourishment that you so justly need for your existence.

Think of it in another way. God is the living essence of all that is created spiritual and material, and as this essence you simply feed off of it; you are suspended in this ocean of love, in this universe of love; you are similar to a beautiful goldfish in a bowl, but a bowl that is so tremendous that it encompasses all that is ever and ever will be created, and each of you are capable of having your own universe to work in. You cannot live or exist in any place without touching the life-giving love of the Infinite Father. As a beautiful piece of needlepoint or tapestry is developed, it is first constructed from a backing; the stitches are placed very precisely in certain places in this backing, and as time progresses then a beautiful picture is formed, and the backing is completely covered. You are the beautiful stitches; the backing that holds those stitches together is the Divine that is the basis of the tapestry; the stitches are of no value without the backing, but the backing has a value for anyone else who wishes to apply their stitches to it. The foundation is always the necessity.
