I want to
talk about spiritual integrity because when that is
present, integrity will pervade every part of one's
life. Having spiritual integrity means you are being who
you really are. Unless one is a spiritual master, one is
usually operating from the ego. The ego is a false self
we made up to replace God. The ego is the separate self
trying to make up a separate reality apart from God. It
is completely lacking in integrity because it is in
competition with God. Because it is a false self, it is
an idol. Idols are totally out of integrity. The ego
begins with the premise that the separation from God has
actually occurred. This makes us feel like sinners, and
for this we have tremendous guilt. We have an all
pervasive sense of being WRONG. Once we feel guilty it
is impossible not to feel deserving of punishment. Guilt
demands punishment.
This guilt makes us do things that are off and out of
integrity. Then we feel more guilt and then we fear more
punishment, which we bring upon ourselves. Guilt
produces fear and this makes us have a very "shaky
identity". This "shaky identity" causes us to make more
mistakes and do more things that are out of integrity.
We draw punishment to ourselves from parents, teachers,
superiors, and think God is also punishing us. Soon we
have created a psychological terror. This includes
self-hatred, self doubt, inferiority, insecurity, and
the belief that we are a failure before God. Now we have
made up a whole world lacking integrity. It is a world
of scarcity, conflict, suffering and death, in contrast
to God's world of Abundance, Peace and Eternal life.
The Course In Miracles says that all your difficulty
stems from the fact that you do not recognize yourself.
We thought we could make imperfect (out of integrity)
something that God created as perfect (being in
integrity). Every second, you have the choice of
recognizing yourself as one with Spirit, (being in
integrity) or of the ego (being out of integrity). The
ego, as a false self, indulges in negativity/ is
competitive/ believes it can oppose the will of God/
induces a sense of danger in you/ opposes all
appreciation and real knowledge/ preserves conflict/
pictures you as deprived and weak/ believes it can
attack God/ blocks your joy/ puts you in total confusion
and selfishness.
You do not want this. Your true kingdom is perfect love/
only certainty/ all power is yours/ you are at peace/
you have everything/ everything is unified and healed/
there is no lack/ there is only joy, abundance, grace
and happiness. This is the REAL YOU. Accepting this puts
you in total integrity. Accepting this results in you
doing what is right.
There are some important ways to get you out of the
false self and into your real self. One is reading the
Course In Miracles. Another is doing Liberation
Breathing®. Liberation Breathing® is a spiritual
purification process that liberates you from negativity
(ego), stress, fear, pain, guilt and all your
miscreations. It is especially valuable in bringing up
things from the subconscious that are buried there and
can sabotage your life. It is not about analyzing the
darkness, it is about letting it go on the exhale. It is
about working with the grace of the Divine Mother and
letting in the bliss that is available to you. Conscious
breathing in this Liberation Breathing® process is
guaranteed to bring you more integrity in your life in
every way.
Doing
Liberation Breathing ® is magical because for one, it is
a rejuvenation process. Your body is rejuvenated with
divine energy. This feeling of "being automatically
renewed" produces tremendous joy . The deep connected
breathing also increases your ability to receive love.
It definitely improves your relationships, especially if
both you and your partner are receiving the benefits of
this simple, deep practice. It can also help you to
become more creative and intuitive. This happens as you
clear your ego, the sabotaging "thoughts" held in the
subconscious, so you can experience the availability of
infinite intelligence. It is a sacred thing really
because you are communing with the Source of Life
itself, the Holy Spirit. Spiritual healing is a by
product. More joy is a result. Who would not want that?
I suggest you try it. Come and join us at our events
around the world.
