Freedom has two aspects.
The first is political and economic freedom .
Once people have these freedoms they are then free to pursue spiritual freedom without physical oppression.

Life is meant to be a process of on-going growth.
If you are not daily growing in self-awareness , you will feel stuck in your life.
How can you get un-stuck ?
Ask yourself :–
” In what area of my life do I feel stuck / unable to move forward ? “
” Who or what is preventing me from making progress ? “
” Is it someone else ? “
”Is it something in my psychology ? ” ( Your tendency to react instead of consciously acting / buttons people can press to get you to react .)
“ Do I feel obliged to do something I no longer want to do ? Why ? “
” Am I confused ? frustrated ? ” Why ? “
” Do I procrastinate ? Why ? “
” Is my outer world cluttered and disorganized ? “
” Have I lost my sense of direction , my sense of purpose ? “
” What steps can I take today to get unstuck ? “
Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world.
To change the outer you must first change the inner—-change your beliefs, thoughts, feelings and words that no longer serve you and eventually this will cause your actions and your outer circumstances to change.
Examine yourself and see where you have allowed negativity into your life .
Check to see if you are balanced in all areas of life.
Do not neglect your spiritual life , for everything you do or say springs from your sense of identity.
” Do you think you are just a mortal , human being ? “
” Or do you know and accept that you are a Spiritual being, currently living in a physical body on planet Earth with a spiritual purpose ? “
Accept that you, and you alone are responsible for your own life and your reactions to life .
You cannot grow and make progress until you stop blaming other people and outer circumstances for your problems and limitations.
Take the reins of your own life if you really want to get unstuck.
The inner , spiritual path teachings found at www.askrealjesus.com have the ability to help you change your life –if you are willing to read and inwardly digest them and apply them to your life.
The ability to speak is a gift that has been given only to human beings.
It is what makes us different from the animals.
It is very important to use speech in the right way , so that you avoid creating negative karma, limitations and health problems.
There are several scriptures , especially in Proverbs in the Bible , which refer to the positive and negative results of wrong speech.
Consider :–
–Do you think before you speak?
–Do you consider the effect that your words will have ?
–Do you avoid senseless chatter ?
–Do you argue often / enjoy arguing / always have to have the last word / always have to be right ?
–Do you use words to help/ support / encourage / to show kindness or repect ?
–Do you consciously create division through gossip , criticism or
talking about people behind their backs ?
–Are you able to stop talking about yourself and sincerely listen to others ?
–Do you value periods of silence amd regularly spend time alone to reflect ?
–Do you always need to have some kind of noise or music on etc.
–Do you feel uncomfortable in silence ?
–Do you always speak the truth?
–Do you just give the facts or do you tend to exaggerate and embellish the facts ? Why ?
–If there is a problem , do you offer constructive suggestions or can you only offer doom and gloom ?
–Do you ever use spiritual techniques to bring about constructive change in your own life ?
–Have you ever tried affirmations, spoken prayers, decrees or rosaries ?

Are you motivated by:–
– your own desires , such as the desire for change/ for revenge / to escape from responsibilities or other people / to get fitter or healthier / to find inner peace / to find meaning and purpose ?
–the desires of other people –such as parents, friends, teachers, relatives, partner ?
–your fears and anxieties.
–your negative feelings of anger / hatred / guilt.
–your feelings of unworthiness.
–feelings of love and compassion.
Are you motivated by the desire to stop or avoid something negative or unpleasant ?
Or are you more likely to be stirred into action by a desire to make a positive change ?
What kind of motivation has produced the best results in the past ?
Do you respond better when helped and supported by a friend / therapist/ counsellor ?
Would it help to create positive goals / to use positive afirmations / to create a treasure map to act as a visual image of your goals / to write in a journal / to choose a reward for yourself at the completion of your goal ?
Life is all about change and growth.
Finding the right kind of motivation will make all the difference to how you choose to grow and change.
Psycholgy is the way you behave .
Psychology is the understanding of why you behave in a particular way in any given situation.
Many times your responses or reactions are not under your control .
You may not be aware of why you behave the way you do .
Therefore , until you heal all aspects of your psychology, you cannnot be in control of your own life.
The best way to heal yourself is to stop focusing on your self, stop taking everything so personally.
Be willing to surrender your attachments to your wounds, to your hurt, to your pain—–to your feelings of resentment, to your feelings of being abused, mistreated or ignored.
No progress can be made until you seek to forgive All–that means yourself / all other people, no matter what they may have done or said / and God.
You need to accept responsibility for your own life and cease blaming others for any problems or limitations in your life.
There can be no change in your outer life or circumstances until you first change your own thoughts, beliefs words, feelings , actions and reactions.
Instead spend your time striving to help others and by giving to others –give your time and attention, your acceptance , your forgiveness, your unconditional love.
You can also use spiritual techniques to heal your psychology.
You can write in a journal . www.higherawareness.com
You can do inner child work.
You can give Aquarian Age rosaries – www.mothermarysgarden.com

Salvation is a gift from God offered to every human being but it must be accepted.
Salvation is an inner condition, whereby you attain a sense of oneness with God.
It is an inner creative process that requires you to change your consciousness, to be spiritually reborn.
The only way to salvation is that your soul must receive a portion of the Universal Christ consciousenss, which then becomes the leaven that raises the entire loaf of your consciousness.
An outer saviour , such as Jesus Christ, serves only as the open door through which God can give you a portion of the Universal Christ consciousness.
You need to go through a gradual process which is known as the Spiritual path.
You must gradually put off the lower consciousness, the human consciousness that sees itself as a mere mortal being.
Then you need to put on the new state of mind, the Christ consciousness, that accepts that you are in reality, a Spiritual being, an extension of God, an individualization of God.
Salvation cannot be received from an outer minister or spiritual organization , or by just repeating sciptures or affirmations. It can only occur through a genuine change in your consciousness.
Your soul is an extension of your Spiritual Self, your I Am Presence.
It is a light beam that is shining from your I Am Presence.
Your soul is a state of consciousness, a sense of identity, a sense of being, a field of energy.
Therefore, you cannot easily confine the soul to a particular location in time and space.
Your soul is a vehicle through which you experience the physical world and interact with your physical body.
Your soul experiences the world through free will and imagination and through thse faculties , it can add on to its sense of identity.
Your soul has two aspects, a masculine and feminine aspect .
You need to value both aspects of your soul and strive to balance them.
Your soul communicates with and expresses itself through the physical body through the chakras, which are energy centres in the energy field that surrounds the physical body.
You can communicate with your soul through the techniques of meditation/ journal writing/ inner child work.
God’s Kingdom :–
–is a state of consciousness.
–a sense of identity.
–a sense of enlightened self-awareness—
–where you realize that you are the son/daughter of God/ that you were created in His image and likeness / that you have the potential to help bring His Kingdom to Earth.
–where you know that you are spiritual being even though you are currently living in a dense physical body , in a dense physical universe.
To enter God’s Kingdom you must :–
–rise above the lower consciousness of the carnal mind which can never be satisfied.
–overcome the sense that you are separated from God.
–put off the old human of mortality and put on the new human, the spiritual being, the spiritual sense of identity.
–put on the Christ consciousness and fully unite with it, so that you see yourself as a spiritual being.
Self- Awareness :–
–is being aware that you exist;
–is being aware that you are a unique individual ;
– is being aware that you have the ability to create your own life.
–is being aware that YOU are more than your body and the brain.
Growth in your self-awareness is important for it :–
–gives you a clear purpose and direction to your life , which then gives value to your life.
–it enables you to understand how the universe works.
ie. it acts like a kind of mirror that will reflect back to you whatever you send out through your thoughts, feelings, words and actions.
You are here to learn how to use your free will and God’s energy .
You are meant to learn from observing the consequences of your actions.
You need to take responsibility for your own life, your own thoughts, feelings, words and actions.
Observe yourself and see what beliefs, attitudes and values are limiting your life.
Recognize that you have made mistakes, you have made choices that have limited you and made you less than who you really are.
Seek to reclaim your true, Spiritual Self and start making choices based on that identity.
