A very big Aloha.
My name is Reverend Cindy Paulus and it's very nice to be here with you today.
And I wanted to talk about how we perceive reality.
And it's all based on how we view life and from our perspective on the way we have lived.
And then choosing,
And this is the important point,
Choosing the highest way we can view what we are doing in our purpose here in life.
That covers a lot,
Doesn't it?
That's a lot to cover.
But I think it's an important subject because we become really impressed by so many influences we may not be aware of.
We become very influenced by what we may see on TV,
What we see on the internet,
And what we read,
Of course,
You know.
But I think it's important to go back to the source,
To always go back to the inner source and the truest source of the highest source within.
And to reset our perspective from that point of view.
And that will really help us get through what can bring us to,
Oh gosh,
Lots of points we may not want to be stuck in along the way.
And this is a time in life where we are seeing so many influences out there trying to capture our attention and get our time online and do things that will get us to buy things that we have to kind of do more time clearing out the stuff and the influences that we don't want.
And it's a conscious process that we can do that you learn in the process of meditation,
Really.
And that gift of being able to go within and meditate and just to be able to clear all of the outside resources that sometimes can influence you.
To clear it out and just go back to yourself,
Your true self,
Your inner self,
That true part of you.
That part is so valuable.
It's so precious.
You need to protect it.
You need to be able to always go true,
It goes back to that,
Your own self be true.
And when you're true to yourself,
You then cannot be false to any man as Shakespeare said.
And that's,
I think,
More important than ever.
And this is the gift of meditation.
The gift of meditation is being able to have some silent,
Quiet time to just go deeply within.
So meditation is such a huge,
Huge gift,
A wonderful gift that you can do.
And it takes a clearing,
A maintenance of that inner space that you have to be able to get to that true space within where you're not being drifting into other parts of influences that have occurred because of what you're taking in by your outer daily living.
And you're also what you're viewing and what you're experiencing online,
Etc.
And that's why I get up at four in the morning.
But even at four in the morning,
I'll have people that I live in Hawaii,
Big time difference.
So somewhere on the East Coast,
It's six hours time difference from where I am.
So six hours later for them,
It's like out in the middle of the day,
Right?
That's a good time to call.
So I have to be tempted not to take phone calls,
Etc.
To just make that time,
That time.
And it's hard to not be feeling like,
Okay,
Well,
I should be doing this,
I should be doing that,
They should be,
Right?
They can wait.
The most important thing in that time,
That sacred time you have within is to only be there in that time.
And I really can't emphasize this enough.
Now,
I'm not going to spend an hour here with you meditating,
But that's what I do.
But you can create whatever time that is good for you.
Now,
I can do a meditation here with you,
But I won't be doing the full hour.
I do an abbreviated version,
Very abbreviated,
Maybe what,
Three minutes,
Five minutes.
That's a very short meditation.
So what I'd like to do is encourage you to continue,
This sets the template,
And then you continue on and do your own meditation within,
Without me talking,
Without any outside influences.
Because that is the best way to really go within and meditate and make a deep connection to your highest inner self so that you can connect with that ultimate source within.
So without further ado,
Let's take some deep breaths and just let go,
Let go of all the things that may have occurred so far in the day.
Just breathing.
And the breath is such a great gift.
Breath sweeps mind.
Breathing in and just clearing anything out as we hold our breath and just let go.
Breathing out,
Breathing in,
And just letting that breath out,
All the way out.
Just continue to breathe,
Nothing but breath.
Setting the tone.
We each have our own tone,
By the way.
So let your own tone speak to you.
As we continue to breathe now,
Take the time to allow yourself to do a beautiful protective white light all around you,
Above you,
Below you,
To the left and right of you,
In front of you,
Behind you,
Surrounded in this wonderful,
Brilliant white light.
A huge circle of protective light around you.
And just be in this lovely area where you can go deeper and deeper and deeper into your higher consciousness.
Eyes closed,
Just allowing your entire body,
From your head to your toes,
To be all cleared.
Just letting go.
Slowly allowing everything in your body to be attuned to that highest part of you and aligned to that part within.
Beyond the mind,
Higher mind,
But still within.
Connecting to the soul.
And let your soul's presence be with you here and now.
That precious,
Precious soul that you are.
Allow that soul to guide you to the source of the soul.
What's the highest light in love,
That influence on the birth of the soul?
What is the creator of your soul?
Allow that creative source to be present.
What would that soul,
That highest resource of heightened love,
From the source of the soul,
The creative force,
Wish to have you be aware of?
What's the ultimate love,
The infinite love,
That is the wonderful source of all creation?
What light shines eternally?
Allow this light and love to take its journey from that ultimate source,
Through your soul,
Back to your consciousness,
Into your mind,
Into your body,
Into all parts of your beingness.
And now,
Slowly come back,
Slowly be aware,
As you make that total conscious awareness back,
Of what your experience brought to you.
And take the time to write down any impressions,
Any thoughts,
Anything that may have come to you,
To help bridge that beautiful journey from your conscious mind,
To the highest source of all light and love.
I bow deeply in gratitude and love to you,
My friends.
I am so,
So very grateful for you being here now.
God bless you always.
