Everything that takes place in your life happens because of your consciousness. Raise your consciousness and you raise your whole being, your whole outlook on life, and you start to live the full and glorious life which is your true heritage. You can be told about it, and you can see others living it; but until it enters your consciousness and you can accept that it is for you, nothing happens. The most seemingly simple and child-like soul can accept the kingdom of heaven far more easily than the most deeply intellectual soul who thinks it knows all the answers with its mind, but its consciousness has not been raised to higher levels. Every soul can reach a raised state of consciousness. But it is something to be achieved from within, from inner knowing, from inspiration and intuition which require no outer knowledge and wisdom. It is all there within every soul, simply waiting to be recognised, drawn forth and lived.
在我生活中發生的每一件事,會發生,是因為我的意識層面。提升我的意識層面,並提升我的整個生命狀態、我對生活的展望,然後我就會開始活出完整的榮耀的生活,這就是我得到的真正的繼承物。我可以被告知這件事,我可以看著其他人活出它來;但直到它進入我的意識層面,直到我可以接受它為我而來,在那之前不會有任何事發生。
那看上去最為單純最是如孩童般的靈魂可以接受天堂的王國,遠比那些最為知識淵博,認為自己的頭腦知曉一切答案,但他們的意識層面卻從未提升至更高層次,的靈魂要來得容易得多。每一個靈魂都可以達到提升了的意識狀態。但這是一件向內才能做到的事情,通過內在覺察,通過靈感與直覺,這些都是不需要外在的知識與智慧的。這一切都在那裡,在每個靈魂的內在,僅僅只是在那兒等待著被發現,被引出,並被活出來。
