Freeing Your Mind

Freeing Your Mind

When people start practicing meditation, they often find themselves distracted by other thoughts. Somehow, their shopping list (or whatever) crowds out their focus and the healing promise of a peaceful mind fades away into the background.

Then, they remember why they are there and abruptly focus back on the meditation. The question is, how can you gain enough focus and dedicated attention to go deeper into meditation?

As the old joke goes, a young musician traveled to New York City especially to see the world's top violin virtuoso perform at the legendary Carnegie Hall. Lost on the streets of New York and running late, he paused breathless, holding his precious violin case close to his body, and asked a senior gentleman on the street corner, "Can you tell me, please: How do I get to Carnegie Hall?" The wise-looking gentleman looked him in the eyes, thought for a moment, sighed deeply and replied, "Practice, practice, practice!"

And so it is with meditation... practice, practice, practice, except it's a lot easier!

As you practice, keep refocusing your mind whenever it wanders off, and always be patient with yourself when you do this. It is the nature of the conscious mind to wander off, so there is no point in feeling bad about it. Be kind to yourself always and nudge your attention back on-purpose whenever necessary. Be a detached observer and let thoughts pass by you just like passing clouds.

The other issue that people mention relates to feelings of self-worth. The phrase used in the Infinite Being Meditation, "I am Infinite Being", is an affirmation of your oneness with the consciousness from which all life sprang. Although it is said with the conscious mind, it is aimed at resonating with your soul being, which is attuned to the "I am" awareness of Source or Infinite Being.

If you find issues arising from this statement, such as feeling unworthy to be aligned with All That Is, then just let those thoughts go and bring your focus back to the phrase. You do not have to justify the words or settle any internal argument about them just because of some prior conditioning as to how someone has said that you "should" think in this life. The world is full of pressures for you to think like other people. Your soul knows the truth.

So, maintain the inner discipline to stay with the affirmation and let the issues fade away unchallenged. Your inner self knows the meaning of the words, "I am Infinite Being," and resonates in joy with their exact and literal truth. Every time you repeat this affirmation, you become more connected with Source. Any lesser thoughts then become healed in the light of the greater truth.

The UN Just Adopted The “Pact For The Future” Which Lays The Foundation For A New “Global Order”

The UN Just Adopted The “Pact For The Future” Which Lays The Foundation For A New “Global Order”

By Michael Snyder

Posted on September 25, 2024

While everyone was distracted, the global elite got exactly what they wanted.  The UN adopted the “Pact for the Future” on September 22nd, and the mainstream media in the Western world almost entirely ignored what was happening.  Instead, the headlines urged us to just keep focusing on Kamala Harris and Donald Trump.  Sadly, the vast majority of the population has never ever heard about the “Pact for the Future”, and so there was very little public debate about whether or not we should be adopting a document which lays the foundation for a new “global order”.  The text of the “Pact for the Future” is available online, but hardly anyone will ever read it and many of the most important provisions are buried toward the end of the 56 page document.  Of course everyone should take the time to actually read this document, because our leaders just committed us to an extremely insidious global agenda that literally covers just about every conceivable area of human activity.

September 22nd, 2024 is a day that will go down in infamy.

Once the “Pact for the Future” was formally adopted, the following was posted on the official UN website…

World leaders today adopted a Pact for the Future that includes a Global Digital Compact and a Declaration on Future Generations. This Pact is the culmination of an inclusive, years-long process to adapt international cooperation to the realities of today and the challenges of tomorrow. The most wide-ranging international agreement in many years, covering entirely new areas as well as issues on which agreement has not been possible in decades, the Pact aims above all to ensure that international institutions can deliver in the face of a world that has changed dramatically since they were created. As the Secretary-General has said, “we cannot create a future fit for our grandchildren with a system built by our grandparents.”

You would think that the “most wide-ranging international agreement in many years” would make headlines all over the planet.

But that didn’t happen.

The UN press release also boldly declares that the “Pact for the Future” will “lay the foundations” for a new “global order”…

“The Pact for the Future, the Global Digital Compact, and the Declaration on Future Generations open the door to new opportunities and untapped possibilities,” said the Secretary-General during his remarks at the opening of the Summit of the Future. The President of the General Assembly noted that the Pact would “lay the foundations for a sustainable, just, and peaceful global order – for all peoples and nations.”

The Pact covers a broad range of issues including peace and security, sustainable development, climate change, digital cooperation, human rights, gender, youth and future generations, and the transformation of global governance.

I don’t want to live in a new “global order” that includes “all peoples and all nations”.

I am sure that most of you feel the exact same way.

Another page on the official UN website tells us that “UN 2.0” is all about creating a “modern UN family”…

Halfway through the 2030 Agenda, the world is not on track to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. It is not too late to change course, if we all rethink, refocus, and recharge. “UN 2.0” encapsulates the Secretary-General’s vision of a modern UN family, rejuvenated by a forward-thinking culture and empowered by cutting-edge skills for the twenty-first century – to turbocharge our support to people and planet.

We will strive towards this vision with a powerful fusion of innovation, data, digital, foresight and behavioural science skills and culture – a dynamic combination that we call the “Quintet of Change”. It is about evolution towards more agile, diverse, responsive, and impactful UN organizations.

That sounds so cozy, doesn’t it?

Who wouldn’t want to be a part of a “family”, right?

But the truth is that the agenda that they intend to impose on all of us will not be pleasant at all.

Over the years, much has been written about how insidious the UN’s “Sustainable Development Goals” are.

Well, the UN is openly admitting that the “Pact for the Future” was specifically designed “to turbo-charge implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals”…

• The entire Pact is designed to turbo-charge implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals.
• The most detailed agreement ever at the United Nations on the need for reform of the international financial architecture so that it better represents and serves developing countries, including:
  • Giving developing countries a greater say in how decisions are taken at international financial institutions;
  • Mobilizing more financing from multilateral development banks to help developing countries meet their development needs;
  • Reviewing the sovereign debt architecture to ensure that developing countries can borrow sustainably to invest in their future, with the IMF, UN, G20 and other key players working together;
  • Strengthening the global financial safety net to protect the poorest in the event of financial and economic shocks, through concrete actions by the IMF and Member States;
  • and accelerating measures to address the challenge of climate change, including through delivering more finance to help countries adapt to climate change and invest in renewable energy.
• Improving how we measure human progress, going beyond GDP to capturing human and planetary wellbeing and sustainability.
• A commitment to consider ways to introduce a global minimum level of taxation on high-net-worth individuals.
• On climate change, confirmation of the need to keep global temperature rise to 1.5 °C above pre-industrial levels and to transition away from fossil fuels in energy systems to achieve net zero emissions by 2050.

In one way or another, all forms of human activity contribute to “climate change”.

And so they intend to strictly regulate all forms of human activity in order to meet their twisted goals.

The “Pact for the Future” also recognizes a “central role” for the UN and a “coordinated and multidimensional international response” whenever future “global shocks” arise…

We recognize the need for a more coherent, cooperative, coordinated and multidimensional international response to complex global shocks and the central role of the United Nations in this regard. Complex global shocks are events that have severely disruptive and adverse consequences for a significant proportion of countries and the global population, and that lead to impacts across multiple sectors, requiring a multidimensional and whole-of-government, whole-of-society response.

The next time that there is a major global crisis, do you want the UN running the show and telling everyone what to do?

I tried to warn everyone about this.

I have written extensively about the “Pact for the Future”, but in the end only a very small sliver of the population got fired up about it.

Now the global elite have achieved their goal, and the opposition that they encountered was barely perceptible.

My note: 

• Probably, the UN is making its own coffin and will end up like the league of Nations did in 1939. It will be replaced by something that represents all nations equally.

How do we reach these People?

How do we reach these People?

Ophelius is the Teacher

Chris: “Teachers, a fellow lightworker writes: ‘There are many people who are distracted and preoccupied by worry and stress about the vicissitudes of life and show little interest in pursuing a spiritual path or any remedial practice to relieve their own suffering. How do we reach these people? What method is best to approach and demonstrate to them that the answer to their problems and suffering can be found ‘within’ through a spiritual understanding of themselves?”

Teacher Ophelius: “There is a saying on your world: ‘You can lead a horse to water, but you cannot make him drink.’ In this case, the horse has traveled many miles in the hot sun and yet, pulling his bridle down forcefully toward the river causes him to revile you — his stubbornness to resist is based on his need to control his own actions to the point of denying his body the very thing it needs to survive.

“For many people this rings true — their soul thirsts for the living water of the spirit, but the heart is wounded from dysfunctional relationships, pride, or a victim mindset which insulates the heart from further vulnerabilities. The heart is the center of the soul and the soul-mind and until that wall, which has been placed there for protection, can be cracked open; there is little hope for self-correction, self-examination, or self-healing through any action of the will. To crack the wall, the heart itself must expand from the inside until the wall can no longer constrain the volume of the newly beating heart.

“As a lightworker who wants to help these individuals, you must stay close to the heart and through patience and baby steps; let that heart know that it is safe in your presence and that you make no gesture to ‘pull the bridle toward the river.’ You must first get in the river, splash around, and drink deeply to show the satisfaction of the quenching water on your own thirst. Once they feel safe, and see how you enjoy the water, they will test it — stick their toe in, then their feet, then perhaps will join you in the reverie of the moment and drink in the soul satisfying water.

“The lightworker may need to guide them to the river and bring them out of the desert. Sometimes taking the person out of their toxic environment and into a comfortable place of peace and beauty can relieve the mind of the worries of the day. It is in this space where the heart is more likely to listen to its own beating and may be more inclined to step into the water with you. Remind the heart of those times in the past where it beat freely and fearlessly and try to bring back the feelings of those experiences. This can only be done when the heart feels completely safe and free of judgment. It is from this ‘beginning’ place that the lightworker may express his or her own co-creative ideas to heal the individual and get them to explore their own heart and spiritual nature. The lightworker becomes the example of a divinely led soul and for those they want to help, they represent the ‘Christ’ and they would be most effective showing the Fatherly love that Jesus so eloquently displayed to all those wounded hearts he encountered in his sojourn on earth.

“Sometimes exploring the ‘ideal self’ can shed light on what is real and what is imagined. “If I did not have _____ in my life and I could _____ then I would choose to _______.” Fill in the blanks, my friends, and begin replacing the fears and worries with real desires. Reaching for real desires brings purpose. All souls need purpose — something to truly live for.

“Peace to you,

“The Circle of Seven.”
