The Spirit: Your True Essence

The Spirit
“Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.” -1 Thessalonians, 5:23, The Holy Bible 

What did St. Paul refer to when he mentioned that every one of us does not only have a body and a soul, but also a spirit? Master Choa Kok Sui explains that the meaning of spirit here is the divine spark present in every individual. To achieve union with the divine spark or the Divine Father residing within each one of us, we need to pass through the I AM or the higher soul first. 

This is also echoed in another verse in the Holy bible: “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” Master clarifies, in his book, Achieving Oneness with the Higher Soul, that Jesus here was providing specifications about “the way” of the incarnated soul to attaining union with the Divine Father which was through the higher soul. 

The Holy Spirit

An important and valid point to be noted here is that the spirit as explained by Master Choa Kok Sui is not the same entity as the Holy Spirit. The latter is the Holy Trinity of Christianity and refers to the spiritually active presence of God in the earthly world. By “spirit”, Master Choa Kok Sui refers to our individual divine spark that is, in reality, a part of God. It is this spirit that corresponds to the essence of God. 

The spirit or the divine spark is in unison with God and with all. It thus embodies a universal oneness. We are all one as our Divine spark comes from the same point of Origin, whether we call it the Parabrahman or the Supreme Being. 

The Divine spark or the spirit is known by different names in different traditions. The spirit is thus an important concept that holds a place of importance in all theological branches whether it is called Ain (Kabbalistic literature), Kung (Buddhist teachings), Punya/Paramatma (Hindu scriptures), Adhi (as per Egyptian beliefs), Monad (Theosophical nomenclature) or The Father (in accordance with Christian doctrines). The significance of the spirit thus has been recognized in almost all theological sects of the world. 

The Ultimate Union

With spiritual progress, one gets closer to God-realization. This is the experience of oneness the spirit or Paramatma. The incarnated soul and the higher soul then become one with the Divine spark or the spirit. With this union there is a feeling of oneness with God and with all. This is the higher spiritual level where an yogi can truly claim to be one with the Father. Oneness with the spirit or the divine spark transforms the spiritual practitioner into a true Divine Incarnate.

Mantra Om

The mantra Om (also written as Aum) has a  purifying  effect and helps our consciousness to shift to the higher level.  Why is it important to purify our  soul ? The human body and the mind are capable of projecting and receiving messages like electronic devices just like a wireless radio that captures signals. We can actually feel if the person sitting next to us is happy or angry or depressed. How does that happen? It is because we can pick up emotions from others. A happy and jolly person can make us happy. A gloomy person can make us sad. So imagine the number of people that we come across throughout the day. How many different sorts of good and bad emotions you may pick up the entire day? This explains why the great yogis stay away from populated area. This could be explained in a better way. When we mediate, we can notice a lot of thoughts and emotions coming to our mind. All these emotions or thoughts are not necessarily ours. We pick them up from the...

Seven levels of forgiveness

7 LEVELS OF FORGIVENESS - WHICH ONE IS YOURS? In order to feel free, happy and satisfied, we need to constantly forgive and forget; not just to extend our love to everyone, even the people who hurt us, but also to show our love to ourselves. The energy of anger and resentment is extremely dirty. It can contaminate our aura and our chakras. The effects are not only emotional disorders (e.g. bitterness, sadness, dissatisfaction), but also physical ailments as well (e.g. High Blood Pressure, Severe Kidney Ailments, Arthritis, Asthma and even Cancer) caused by accumulation of negative lower emotions especially anger and resentment. Based on Master Choa Kok Sui’s teachings, forgiveness is practiced by different people based on their level of maturity, and can range from Level 0 to Level 7. Reach Level 7 and see how your life gets filled with constant joy, happiness, calmness, stillness and inner peace! Level 00 - NOT FORGIVING AT ALL In this level, the person is unable to...
