Munishwarji:
God Is Speaking

Listen, My Beloved! God Is Speaking.

On Saturday, February 4, the Planet Neptune entered the Sign of Pisces where it will remain until 2025. During this important Planetary Transit, the Esoteric Teaching that will flow to Planet Earth is "Illusion and Reality are one and the same." During this a period, humanity has an extraordinary opportunity to Master this Teaching — the full Realization of which culminates in Spiritual Liberation. A powerful way that we can open ourselves to receive this Great Truth is to know that "God is Love, Lover and the Beloved" — that there is no place in the entire Universe — not even one fraction of an inch — where God is not. We can cultivate this Awareness by looking upon our world with new eyes of wonder — beginning with our personal relationships and opening ourselves to the experience that everyone and everything around us is an embodiment of the Living God.

Over 600 years ago, the sublime poet Hafiz gave us a formula for doing so which still works today. Hafiz wrote, "Everyone is God speaking. Why not be polite and listen to Him?" Truly listening to others is an extraordinary skill that has the potential to open us to new heights of awareness. Rather than actually listening to what others have to say, most human beings are rarely present for the majority of their conversations. They are either evaluating what the listener has said or planning what they are going to say in response to the listener rather than simply being Present and Available. Listening is an active rather than a passive experience in which the listener is fully Present in the NOW.   In fact, a good listener can facilitate transformation simply through the act of listening. Many of the world’s greatest healers, coaches and therapists work miracles through highly developed listening skills. Here are some exercises for developing your own listening skills in order to experience God speaking to you through All Creatures Great and Small:

1.   When someone wants to talk, listen; when someone wants to listen, talk. Be in touch and in tune with the person with whom you are communicating.

2.   When someone is talking, let go of any desire to mentally evaluate the conversation or plan a response; simply be present and listen. When we are evaluating what is being said or planning what we want to say, we are "in our heads" rather than being Present to the listener. We miss the opportunity to hear God speaking.

3.   When someone is speaking to you, silently acknowledge that God Herself or God Himself is speaking; fully receive the message She/He has to share with you. Be aware that sometimes the message does not necessarily come through the words being said, and unless we are fully Present, we might miss it. For example, angry words might actually be a message to hold an open heart and practice Compassion for the person speaking. 

4.   When it is time for you to speak, speak from the Heart knowing that Love Conquers All. Allow your communications to be spontaneous rather than rehearsed. Dare to be yourself! You don't have to rehearse to be the magnificent person you already are!
