The Story of a Pearl

By Alisa Battaglia

Often times relationships are rife with frictions yet understood. A deeper reflection brings to the awareness a spiritual necessity for the friction and the purpose revealed in simplicity. I share this interaction with you in that you may resonate with your own relational relational riffs and how they may be used to benefit your inner evolution.  

“It is clear as to the strength of my personality in helping to catalyze you to the edge of your comfort zone for an inner transformation. To lead you into a healing crisis necessary for initiation onto a higher spiritual pathway. To unconsciously rub the painful scab over wounds you have never healed and continue to run from. You can run, but you cannot hide! Unhealed wounds carry weight and are self-destructive! You are too beautiful a person to linger there. 

Like the oysters you so enjoy, when an irritant enters its shell and gets trapped and unable to flush out, the grit is cultured for a while into a shiny creation. Only about one in 10,000 make a pearl. Note the wisdom of the mollusk. They make pearls against irritants that sneak into its soft tissue and to heal that abrasion they exude layer upon layer of shell material to become exceptionally strong. 

Be like the pearl!”

Twin Flame

By Alisa Battaglia

I have a secret to share. The twin flame is within you. The inner masculine to the feminine and the inner feminine to the masculine. When there is a merging of the inner male and female aspects of self…love overflows. From self-love that it invites a greater love…another…into the hearts domain. Only when self meets self, the divine union, can the magnetic fusion attract another into your life. Self-love is the foundation and antidote! Start there!

The Mirror

By Alisa Battaglia

When I look into the mirror, I meet my eyes and look deeply into the pools of inner knowing, past the lines of time etched in my skin.

For an instant, I feel the shame of a mystic that recognizes Soul imperfection in comparison with the Universe it penetrates. I speak out in question, “Have I done enough in my incarnated Soul mission?”

Then I watch my face contort and tears streams down my cheeks. Instantly a wise gentle inner voice assuages and says, “I’ve only just begun. Now I have wisdom, life experience born into wisdom.”

The Path of Wisdom earns favor with God.

Those who gain wisdom are compared to a tree firmly planted, that yields fruit in abundance in due season, whose leaves do not wither; whatever they do prospers (Ps. 1:3).

Manifesting Miracles in the I AM Presence

By Alisa Battaglia

I write for all of us in pain on a daily basis whether in heart, mind, body, and Soul.

Each day we are challenged to conform ourselves to the accepted values of a changing world of dysfunction and yet, we are home and live in that dysfunction in our bodies, hearts and mind.

“Remember a day, perhaps long ago or even an instant where your heart was free, your body light and nimble, and your mind without care? Feel that moment. Embrace it, imbue it, for it is always who you are. Now merge that point of reference – the feeling memory – into you now. Feel through your entire being. Appreciate it, feel the Grace.”

In spiritual works, it has been shown and repeated that body follows mind. A succession from mind to heart to body that manifests healing through the “feeling heart of awareness.”  Perhaps doing this merging process with the ailing part of you can overwrite and make you well – to bring upon a healing synthesis wherever that unrequited perfection lingers.  Perchance, to initiate a miracle no matter how large or small.

I share my personal experience.  In my daily asking  before I got out of bed, I queried “God, what do I need to know today?” Instantly a great reverence filled me. Deep appreciation consumed my heart to tears in the awareness of the gift of my life that I uttered this statement. Each time I repeated it with a different tone only to discover a new facet of its breadth. The profundity of this simple statement has continued to change and direct my life.

“Thank you God, for Me, because of You, I AM!”

The” I AM” is the absolute upon which all rests, the foundation of all external circumstances.  I AM  is the spiritual identity of the Christ Mind, the indwelling Lord of Life, Love and Wisdom and the eternality of all that exists within the Divine Mind. The “I AM” in the image of GOD.

“Thank you God, for Me, because of You, I AM!” is my daily mantra for anytime and anyplace I feel alone, unappreciated, confused and in need of guidance. I share its spiritual power with you.

Speak these words in meditation or prayer. Create a space between the words to feel a vibration between them. Feel the layers of each part revealing deeper meaning. Absorb these feelings into your heart and mind. Speak this “I AM” statement aloud in different intonations until you feel a shift in energy.

“Thank you God, for Me.” Feel the appreciation for your gift in life, because of God choosing you. “Because of You, I AM.” In the, I AM, feel the gratitude of Life, the blessing and Grace over you.  When you feel this and are in a heightened state of awareness say the “I AM” mantra three times followed with your desire of any subject:  Health, Love, Abundance, whatever you choose that is of high vibration. Create a mental image and a new self-concept with it.  Do this for 2 to 5 minutes. You will feel when to stop picturing your desires when your energy is overflowing. Do this for 21 days or until you anchor your new state of consciousness as your guiding inner directive.

Feeling Exercise:

Say the “I AM” mantra aloud three times slowly moving into deeper feeling.

“Thank you God, for Me, because of You, I AM!”
“Thank you God, for Me, because of You, I AM!”
“Thank you God, for Me, because of You, I AM!”

I AM, I AM, I AM … I AM receiving an extraordinary event in my life manifesting as a divine intervention. The healing miracles bestowed upon me reshape my heart, mind, body, and Soul to total perfection of my I Am Divine blueprint. I am happy, safe, healthy, and free.

Other Examples of Desire Subjects:

I AM, I AM, I AM … I AM a renown spiritual author and teacher. I help others benefit their lives. I give this service for a wonderful pay. My life is spiritually and financially abundant.  I joyfully attune to my spiritual life mission and receive abundance that sustains all of my needs.

I AM, I AM, I AM … I AM pure love attracting a divine love complimentary counterpart for romantic partnership. I feel attraction and in him everything I need to grow. I am loved, cherished, safe, and respected and we grow together each day. Love is the healing balm that surrounds and fills my life.

I AM, I AM, I AM … I AM healthy and strong. I AM perfect health. God has restored me!
My cells are regenerated. My bones, fascia, organs, lymph, endocrines, blood, and nervous system are in perfect harmony of health and well being. My entire body is healthy and energized, constantly regenerating into my divine wellness blueprint. I function in my highest and best.

I AM, I AM, I AM … I AM in right livelihood enjoying, growing, creating, and excelling in every way. My work is generous, co-operative, honest, and ethical in trade. I collaborate with others creating greater benefit to help serve people in need. I am compassionate Love in action.

May many miracles manifest in your life!

On Healing for Courage

Healing occurs at the Soul level, but if identification is with the physical body and its desires, healing is temporary.

Healing always transpires on the subtle level and through the subtle body, that of the Soul. People who have had spontaneous remissions or full relief of chronic pain can attest to full surrender to the greater will of God or higher Self. Playing the “Poor me” victim role expresses upon the plane of which ones level of consciousness resides. Now, take a look around and observe the cry of victims everywhere. There are people who are actually victimized by others in power and need help out of it and then there are those who cry wolf to victimhood for political gain. Discern the difference as awareness can produce a very different response and therefore, outcome.

I hear people pray and petition for a divine intervention and yet, praying is asking for what has “not come” and brings focus on the negative of not receiving. The focus rather is best aligned under the magnetic law of attraction whereby invoking spiritual help in giving thanks as if it has already happened. Giving thanks ahead of time invokes a positive and receptive response. You can practice this yourself. For instance, imagine a healthy and loving world and your place contributing to the beauty and betterment of the planet for all sentient life. After a time, take note of a cohering effect and how your interior life is less disorganized and confused. When there is congruency between what you think, feel, say, and do is when inner power builds to great courage.

Since the energy field of the body is a large magnet and attracts forces to it according to your mental plane activity, it is important to bear responsibility of your own thought building. With a repetition of thought patterns, self-talk, or educational/social conditioning, you are attracting forces to you either positively or detrimentally. As you may already know, the chakras or energy centers of the body condition the mind via their intersectionality. Although, all is interconnected and interchangeable in a multi dimensional anatomy, it is the higher Will of your Soul seeking to orchestrate an alignment with your ego personality. They are those inklings, nuances and inner promptings towards healing of your inner complexes so that the life urge of your Soul may express through your human form in all its awe and brilliance.

If your ego personality is highly conditioned to the lower forces of selfishness, depravities, lack of compassion for life and so on, any receptivity to the Soul urge is obliterated to become blight on the planet. Segments of humanity have already sunk into the devolutionary pathways as sources of global power turn people in victims and willing followers and perpetrators to carry out their psychopathy of *democide upon the human family and all sentient life.

Healing is vitally necessary to rise courage from your heart and the breast of every living being aligned in the life urge agenda. It is our collective birthright by virtue of incarnation for the creative life of the Soul to thrive and evolve in the divine order of Nature and highest spiritual life potential on earth.

*Democide: The murder of any person or people by a government, including genocide, politicide, and mass murder.

Materialism, a Fraud against Humanity

By Alisa Battaglia

Contrary to what some people might believe, there is nothing wrong with having pleasures and enjoyments. What is wrong is the confused way we grasp onto these pleasures, turning them from a source of happiness into a source of pain and dissatisfaction.  ~Lama Thubten Yeshe, “Introduction to Tantra”

Whenever a nation stands aloof from virtue and ethics as its epicenter it is beguiled by sense reality. And to the extent that materialism succeeds, humanity becomes inwardly weak from focus on the externals. A preoccupation with buying, selling, loss and gain prevails in the absence of love and goodness. This is a major factor in deterioration, as vested interests lurk around with selfish motives and ambition. Materialism is a fraud against humanity since it masquerades as something virtuous.

As the world of the senses takes over wisdom is clouded. This enfeebling is happening all over the world today as pressures to conform echo borrowed thoughts. What influence will today’s controlled multitude have on the new generation? Wisdom is required to turn the tide. “Wisdom avoids going through the experience of trial and error; it is awakened by the clarity within that sets one free from illusions and deceptions” (J. Krishnamurti).  

Very few of us work on piercing through our projected deceptions and save ourselves from the commotion of a wasted life—duty bound and irresponsible at the same time. Education prepares to teach us how to fit into a job quashing the potential to be more humane and connected to the living world. We are taught to solve problems and go through the motions without realizing that there are no problems at all apart from the mind. Problems always relate to fear and self-centeredness. Insecurity is a permanent stamp upon humanity and self is an abstraction manufactured by thought. So, do we really have problems or are we just in doubt, fearful and self-centered? Where is the “clarity” that dissolves all problems and the duality of thought itself?

When interpretation is based on opinion and assumption, it has little to do with reality and fragmentation continues to thrive. Through questioning, we can free ourselves from opinions, assumptions, beliefs, conclusions, and consequences. Self-discovery, not efficiency leads to new action founded on the need to express truth and love within, rather than ambition and motive. This is where transformation takes place.

Society will not change, but we can govern the law of our own being as we rise to the heights and relate with the reality within. We may not be able to do anything about government, but we can be aware of what is not ethical and then build our lives with self-responsibility for our own ethics and virtues. This is each our responsibility, to love one another as ourselves. To accept that responsibility is life transforming. And no-thing can defeat this inner shift.

The Kingdom is perfectly united and perfectly protected, and the ego will not prevail against it. Amen. ~ A Course in Miracles, I, pg 54.

Elite

By Alisa Battaglia

I AM Sovereign!
I AM Free!
I Govern the Law of my own Being!

I need no one to tell me how to live.
What to put into my body or what to do.
Nor, how to behave, think, speak or feel, to induct my Soul into automaton.

I Am SOUL, Sovereign and Free and there is no Power over me other than my Creator.

I Am the Elite! You are the Elite!
We are the EnSouled Children of Love, Gods true Elite!

Who are the Imposters to claim themselves as Elite over Us?
Who are these Intruders of Spirit, Usurpers of Life?

They have NO ultimate POWER other than THROUGH you, Us!
BANISH them to the lower domain of spirits, their rightful plane as if they never were!!!

I Feel Like Autumn

I feel like autumn.
As the leaves fall, so do my pretenses.
My positionalities related to the world externa.
As I watch the butterflies flit amongst the milkweed both feeding and laying eggs for chrysalis into a new life, I am reminded that in a world of constant becoming from ectopy to entropy, the dissolutive forces of life unfold, break down and shift into something altogether new.

Nature is my great teacher as I observe Her processes interwoven into my own life. A constant cascade of happenings so subtle, so dire that these transformative forces ignite the greater passions of my Soul as I surrender unto the sheathing process that brings me closer to myself as the One that is always becoming ever alive with God!  I AM!

The First Time I Died

Image

By Alisa Battaglia

The First time I died was so long ago, it is barely memorable in the long stream of my Soul knowing. So much overlap from multiple life experiences almost make it a blended streaming, a convolution of exacting memory.

Perhaps I should count the deaths, the losses that were mini deaths, the surrendering unto the unfolding of Almighty Grace that were in itself many deaths that would catapult me unto a new life steaming.

Upon my second Soul cycle, the lineation’s that bound me to precipitous experiences to an age of wisdom now in reign. The boundless light of the Soul is ever in progression, always reviewing and even sometimes turning back in descension or de-evolution. Such paths are ultimately the teachers in the Soul’s quest for greater experience in the horizontal life. The linear urging of the human vessel is to unite with the divine spark of its inhabitant in a most visceral level, otherwise the Soul aspiration for flesh experience goes wholly unnoticed, as the precipitous urges of the body take over the Souls desire to indwell it towards its own benefit and growth.

How many times those losses came – the endings that brought new Beginnings. The pain that brought new light of awareness. The release of a dead child from my arms, twins from my womb, from my heart. So many children, so many lives. Motherhood gives birth, but is also a death of the autonomous self to another’s dependence. The symbiosis of the entwined Soul in utero offers a special unity in the life streaming.

And from all those shared experiences at the extension of another – children, lovers, family and friends. The lovers, most poignant, as it is the lover that there is surrender, a small death at a most intimate level. The collapsing in the remembrance of the divine bliss that fills the spirit. Yet, after a while, the lovers go, too. And there is the mirror, the self facing Self.

In that ultimate recognition, of reunification, there is yet another death. A death of personhood, the small self or ego predominance in submission to the “I”.  The “I” of the Soul, the real Self, the true mother, lover, friend, and guide. All of these losses and small deaths are but preparation of the Soul’s submersion into the almighty I AM.  

On the path of initiation, life and death is a constant cycle of Becoming – a knowing and strange comfort in the chrysalis into something new and more beautiful than before. The awareness that Life is eternal and begins and ends, like the ebb and flow of the waters of life, the yin and yang inflow into the other, none and one at the same time.

I remember the first time I died and yet, I will again, and again and again!
