We are spiritual beings inhabiting bodies

Today's Reflection - Excerpt, Mystical Class with Merlin (Channeled October 31, 2009)

Merlin:
All right, I’ll say just a little bit more, then we’ll complete ourselves. On the very practical level… now even a phrase like that ...on a very practical level… what is that anyway? You see that, as human beings and as you are, you think that practical level has to do with physicality, and in some books it might. Practical tools for living. What’s the first tool? Give up thinking you know who you are. That’s a real practical tool. It doesn’t mean that you are going to float around and not have a name and be unsure of yourself and not know how to make decisions or choices that are real to you. It means that you recognize that you are spiritual, spirit beings and you are residing in humanness. A spirit being residing as a human. That’s a practical tool. You might think, “Well okaaay.” As you would say, “Okaaay.” Yes. “Okay, I’m a spirit being and I’m living in a human body.” But I’m telling you, that’s the first practical knowingness. Why? Because it leads you to the full recognition of more. It leads you to recognize that you are not just a human being fumbling around here on earth, trying to figure out how to live. Of course human beings are trying to figure out how to live on earth… until, until what? Until they awaken to the fact that they are not a human being. That they are a glorious, beautiful spirit that is living in a human vessel. So I guess that the first practical knowing is…Number One, I’m not really human. Now I know there are a lot of jokes about that… yes, you would come up with a lot of them; but the truth is, you’re not. You’re living in a human body. You are living in the cause and effect of human beings, but that doesn’t mean that you have to stumble around like human beings, trying to figure out how to live, how to make money, how to stay healthy, how to figure out what to do with today. Nothing wrong with all of that, to live in the turmoil. Aha! But you can begin to develop your relationship with who you really are, and when you do… you won’t be stumbling around out there in the world, you will know more your correct choices for your own self. You’ll know more. And for heaven’s sake, stop telling yourself that you can’t think of things, and don’t remember things, and you never make right decisions, that you’re stumbling around, you’re not coordinated. Stop telling yourself that. Your poor human nature is going to have to provide for you everything that you say! Second practical information: your human nature, in which you reside, will give you everything that you tell it to, tell yourself. It’ll be exactly as you tell yourself to be. When you say, “I’m stupid about this,” your human nature will say, “Oh, okay, I’ll be stupid about this.” If you tell your human nature, “I’m just uncoordinated. I trip over my own feet…” That’s a phrase that you all say once in a while… “I trip over my own feet.” And your human nature will say, “Ok, okay. I’ll do that.” Your human nature, your humanness, forms for you. And as you grow and develop, you learn how to live according to human nature. Until moments like this, when you discover, when you hear the truth being spoken that there’s more to this whole thing about living on earth, and you begin to say to yourself, “I am totally connected with the all knowing. I know how to make the right decisions for my own self. I know how to care for myself and care for others. I am totally coordinated. I’m healthy and whole. My body continues to regenerate itself just for me.” When you make statements like that, your body will then say, “What?” Your human nature will say, “What? You mean, I’m not ill-coordinated? I don’t trip over my own feet? Let me give that a try again, I’m not sure about this.” And so you might stumble. That’s your human nature saying to you, “Are you sure about this? You used to stumble around and you used to say ‘I trip over my own two feet’. I’ve been practicing that for twenty years, or not quite twenty years.” And so then, when that happens, you can say, “Now it’s not true anymore. I am really coordinated, well balanced.” And the human nature then says, “Oh. Okay.” Imagine that! If you say to yourself, your human nature, “Every time it gets cold, my body aches and it just hurts me,” your human nature says, “Oh, okay.” But when that occurs, you can say to your entire being, “I have the full capability of generating that temperature within and about my body that will support my wholeness of being and my perfect health. And that’s what I’m doing. That’s what I choose… because I’m capable of it.” Again, your body might say, “Are you sure? You’ve been telling me that this cold causes us to have pain and to double over.” And it may do that. But instead of saying the same message again, saying that, “All right, you’re right body, all right human nature, you’re getting older, you might as well get more decrepit….” Instead of saying that, you change. You say, “No.” If it’s what you choose, you say, “I am fully capable of generating by choice alone what is required of my body.” And then the human nature and the body say, “Oh. Let’s give that a try.” And when you continue to choose in this manner, your human nature will begin to provide for you the fulfillment of your choice. Say you have a program on language studies… now this wonderful being says, “I’m going to get an A in this because I’m really good at it.” And guess what, you’re whole system says, “OK, yes I will.” That’s how it works.And you might say, “Well, Merlin, what if I don’t have a knack for languages?” And I’m saying, “Says who? You just said it! You just said you don’t have a knack for languages, so your body and your entire human nature says, “Oh, okay.” So that’s a good step two, practical tool. Practical tool. And the third is… it’s going to sound like there’s nothing to it. It’s called Love. It’s called not only lov-ing. Love. What is love? It’s a vibration of wholeness inside of your own self that supports the totality of who you are. What does that mean? It’s a vibrational frequency, a pulse beat, within your own self that supports your knowing of the beauty of your spirit and its conforming human nature. That’s love. And the more that you open yourself to loving yourself, the more that you are able to be awake to all that you are. If you want to call it, the Third Practical Tool, it’s a certainty to unlock the all knowing, the truth of all there is… it all begins with opening to love of self. Love of self is not physical. It’s accepting. It’s accepting… and now here’s the trick to all of that, if you want to call it a trick… As a human being, there’s a yearning for perfection. What is that perfection really? What is that yearning? It’s really an interpretation. It’s really a yearning for the all that you are, that I’ve been telling you about, this beautiful spirit that you are. That’s your yearning for perfection, what the human nature wants. It’s natural for the human nature to make mistakes, to not be totally perfect according to the spirit. But you, as your spirit being, residing in your own human nature, can love the imperfection of your incarnating, of your human nature. And that’s love. To just love. For example, in human nature some beings can run like the speed of a bullet. They just have something in them that they can just be physically very fast. And you might say, “Well Merlin, what if I say I can be very fast?” I’m saying, in this instance that you discover what are your specialties that you are very capable of. If you see a being dancing the dervish, it doesn’t mean that you can’t learn to spin as they do. But to know that is that being’s specialty. If you try and you’re not quite as successful, but you are still participating in it; then love your human nature in the experience of trying something. Love yourself. Love your human nature. And when I’m saying that, I’m saying… here you are, this beautiful spirit being… you are living inside now this humanness, this human nature… love that human nature. It’s your birth right. It is your avenue to experience yourself while you are in physicality while you’re on earth. Love everything about yourself, and the more that you love yourself, the more that love will allow the fullness of what you are… to expand. It’s a very powerful tool. It’s a very powerful tool.What does it do and why is it powerful? It allows the fullness of who you are, this beautiful spirit, to be more and more incarnate. Yes. Remember, the spirit that you are is a glorious, glorious being capable of everything. Why everything? Because you are united with the whole, the wholeness of being. And here you are incarnate. Love yourself and embrace yourself, be good to yourself, say kind gentle things to yourself, about yourself… refuse to say the opposite ever… when you hear it [the opposite] being spoken by your mind or in your heart, just say, “That doesn’t apply to me.” It’s all inside. The more that you do this, the more that your spirit will be able to incarnate who you are. And then, you reside in what you call Paradise. You reside in the kind of living that creates for you fulfillment in all ways, fulfillment in health, fulfillment in love, fulfillment in monies, fulfillment in the love of your work, fulfillment… in whatever you choose. Why? Because you are then an irresistible magnet to all that that comes to you to fulfill that which you are. It’s a very powerful tool. I think three is a good number. I think we should stop at three. Maybe another time if you are sitting together like this, we can speak of other tools. Until we speak again then, I’m Merlin and I’ll be on my way… the earth is so very lucky to have you here. So very lucky.
