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).

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.

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!

Integrity ~ Operating in Truth

Integrity
Operating in Truth

By Alisa Battaglia

Integrity is a virtue that relates to the quality of a person’s character–of integrating various parts of the personality into a harmonious, intact whole. Integrity is primarily a matter of keeping the self intact and uncorrupted. About embracing a point of view that does not just take the moral high ground, but pursues a commitment to do what is best. This means that we bring various levels of volition and desire into harmony and fully identify with them at the highest level. To do so we are urged to be conceptually clear, logically consistent, apprised of relevant empirical evidence, and careful about acknowledging as well as weighing relevant moral considerations. In other words to operate from our truth, which means that self-knowledge is crucial as we must know what we value.

What is it to be a person of integrity?

Whenever we state our truth in word, action, thought or otherwise, we empower ourselves by aligning with our personal code of conduct–what we decide is right or wrong for us. We make our own decisions and operate with integrity in terms of commitments to specific kinds of ends, principles and ideals. This care of self allows us to hold steadfastly true to our commitments, rather than ordering and endorsing desires.

When we live with integrity we have no reason to lie. We always win when we reduce confusion about how we feel. Life is uncomplicated and less stressful. It is much easier to live life when we are open and truthful because there is nothing to hide.

A plethora of human characteristics such as capriciousness, wantonness, triviality, disintegration, weakness of will, self deception, self-ignorance, mendacity, hypocrisy, arrogance, dogmatism, fanaticism, monomania, preciousness, sanctimoniousness, rigidity, indifference and so on drive us to moral failure. All these traits can defeat integrity in so far as they undermine and suppress attempts to critically assess and balance desires, commitments, wishes, changing goals and other factors. A person of integrity will find a mean between the excesses of each one of these vices, or traits or practices that undermines integrity.

There are also many defeaters of integrity who try to waiver us from operating in our truth. For instance so-called experts seek to further their own agendas by persuading and manipulating with half truths to get us to do what they want. The same idea applies to our family, spouse and friends. Oftentimes, inexperience succumbs to those who appear more knowing and powerful than us. This causes us to live out of alignment with our truth. Whenever we abandon what we know to be true and act from the strongest current desire of the moment, with no deliberation or discrimination between more or less worthwhile desires, we clearly act without integrity. Each time we go against our inner knowing we lose a little more of ourselves. Nothing pulls us further out of alignment and makes us more miserable than “selling out” and failing to stick to our integrity.

When we operate with personal integrity we refuse to agree with what is wrong, because we KNOW that something does not add up. We agree or disagree simply based on what we know to be true, not on what others want us to believe. We know the truth when we see it. Truth is our barometer, the measure stick of all things.

Governing the Law of Your Own Being

Take Note that I wrote and published this in 2007.  The heisting of our rights at every level has been an incremental process clearly evident in 2018.

Governing the Law of Your Own Being
By Alisa Battaglia 

 “Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed it’s the only thing that ever has.” ~ Margaret Mead

 The first self-governing principle bestowed upon humanity was through the Ten Commandments of God. Some people will argue to call them the Ten Commitments. Every major world religion has its own version. Essentially, they comprise an outline for right living. What does it mean to govern the Law of our own being when most people are being governed by others through their emotions? In pondering this question we might contend that two very important tenets of living have been offered to humanity overlighted by Spirit.

The second self-governing principle created by a group of forward thinking spiritual men was the Constitution, which was established for a people willing to live a self-disciplined life. The U.S. Constitution was meant to provide intricate checks & balances to keep the power of government out of our private lives. This was so until the current bastardization of our Constitution with the march of corporate aristocracy looming in our private lives. Representation has been steadily eroded over the last 200+ years.

If life has been consumed with work, children, TV, gaming, and addictions, etc., then perhaps it has slipped conscious notice that the governance of the United States of America is changing hands into a system of corporate governance (fascism) and ownership of natural resources, land, water, and complete control of human beings. This is a global initiative of economic siphoning. A one-world government based upon a hybrid Socialism-Communism economics system based upon the marriage of corporations, science, and politics. Most importantly, it is a system that is funded by us, the world’s people. This in not some Orwellian nightmare or Fear tactic like Bush’s war on terror, a war on drugs, but rather a war on life, through a governmentally imposed system.

These global initiatives are very specific:

  •No private ownership of property (Usury system- FACT: “ownership” does not exist under the current Federal Reserve System and centralized wealth banking system). • No right, whatsoever, to economic responsibility, due to the Federal Reserve System
• No private ownership of water including wells • No right, whatsoever, to knowledge in public education
• No rights to proven safe food and water or genetically unmodified food or seed • No right, whatsoever, to the development of personal opinion, philosophy, or individualism due to public education
• No private ownership of guns • No personal opinion
• No privacy rights • No voting rights, which are 1) completely corrupted and
2) being usurped by NGO take-overs
• No mass mobility rights • Mandatory military and/or volunteer service
• No rights, whatsoever, to disagree with government or to dissent (Fascism) • No religion minus environmental sustainability or “Gaia”
• No rights to protection from rampant taxation • No rights to designated wilderness areas, Biosphere Reserves, historical designations, conservation easements, or buffer zones.

First, each of us has to stop funding our enslavers. Choose not to use the usury system, which was implemented to keep us in a perpetual state of un-payable and unsolvable debt. Get rid of credit card debt to create a better position in the transition. We each must use our economic power and stop supporting corporate businesses that do not serve a conscious betterment of humanity. The global elites get wealthier and more powerful with each payment we make to them and their corporations. The entire systems matrix is based upon our money and their interest rates.Since this is a global initiative and not just an American phenomenon there is no where to go except off the Globalization grid– to opt out of this system by refusing to participate – 100%. This means that we must refuse to think and participate in the global economics systems, which were set up to literally enslave humankind. For instance, we have been sold a bill of goods that related “being successful” to ownership & consumption– including homes (now the declaration that all Americans should own homes is bankrupt). “Ownership” in America actually means that each individual, yes you, are owned and that anything accumulated, including land, homes, automobiles, and other possessions, can be taken from us. As we are now realizing the truth of this system that identifies people as bank-owned commodities (usury system), which comes in handy as the world switches to global Socialism and perceived “rights” are eliminated one by one, we can take initiative to stop living under bureaucratic regulations of control.

So, the decision for American people, and all the world’s people, is to fight for freedom in the only possible way that we can, or to agree to be a slave to the world’s wealthiest few. Some will choose to sell their Soul, but choose we must! To even have the chance for freedom, we must stop thinking like controlled subjects. We must recreate ourselves by recreating our patterns of thinking and living.

Everyone has heard of “The Secret” by now- a Universal principle that governs outcomes through magnetism or Law of Attraction. In summary, like attract likes. It goes like this. “If you think like a slave, you are a slave.” Those are both global & universal facts powered by our own thoughts. Well, it is time to stop thinking like controlled subjects and to create the government of our choosing – to recreate ourselves by recreating our patterns of thinking and living. The time has arrived where there is simply no other alternative but globally regulated enslavement by global aristocrats.

We know that:
• The FTAA (Free Trade Area of the America’s) will pass.
• National borders are being dissolved for corporate work forces and profits North American Union.
Public education is preparing American children for one-world corporate wages.
• Global initiatives are in the works in every nation on the planet to massively reduce the global population.
• Many corporations around the world are working to find and manufacture more super viruses
• Wars are manufactured to bring profits to the tables of multi-national corporations, to control natural resources, and to control people.
Illegal drug trades fund wars and weapons, and are intricately tied to governments.
• Multi-national corporations control all mass media outlets – all of them. Do you still subscribe to cable TV, newspapers, and magazines?
• Internet censorship is next. Google showed us it can.

I end this commentary with a personal request that each of you enter into silence – to center your heart in Creator, ground your body within the Earth and expand your mind to hear the still voice within you -your clarion call. It is this call that will guide you to right choice!

There is Kosmic opportunity for Divine Government. Assemble Peaceful Warriors! The time is now. “The light of Christed consciousness is here to resurrect the planet and those forerunners of humanity who boldly navigated the unchartered frequencies and anchored the grids of the higher laws will be graciously rewarded.” ~ Bob Burg, “Go Giver”

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our political institutions upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.”
~ James Madison

How about this perspective for a pattern of living? 

How about this perspective for a pattern of living? 

God, Source, Creator, Universal Mind, or whatever name you perceive your God…is within All because Spirit is the essential principle contained in all things imbued with love, intelligence, and Wisdom. From this stream of the One Life, the spiritual triad is formed, the Father-God, Son/Sun-Soul and the Holy Ghost-Spirit.  Here the human being has a method for transformation that requires an awareness of free will and an engagement of the mind. Christ is humanities living example of transformation, transfiguration, and transmutation. Within each of us is the seed, the Universal Christ Pattern, or potential for Christ Consciousness, which is an activated heart centered reality of increasing levels of integration from the “I” perspective (transformation) to engagement with the “We” (transfiguration) to still more inclusive values of “Us” (transmutation). One Love!!!

This blueprint awakens unity consciousness, which is to align the Soul under free will with the higher Will of Source for humanities ascent to the power of good over evil in the material world. Remember that God is the One Life and that all of life is an expression of the ONE GOD, including the shadows of humanity that is labeled sin or evil.

What is called sin or evil, is a divergence from the stream of unity consciousness… movement askew of our potential from the pattern that has been set before us. The forces of rebellion in the unseen forces (astral realm) have been called Satan, the devil, evil, sin, the serpent, Lucifer, The Demiurge, Archon, intrapsychic predators, vampires, ET’s, etc…yet, they are all one in rebellion with Spirit when they move against the Life Urge of Christic initiation with the Living Waters of Wisdom.

Any mind activity that rebels against the influences of good, compassion and care and aligns with influences that distract, distort, rebel, or misalign with the One Source through the pull of material influences, it bifurcates consciousness into parts missing the Living Spiritual markers producing self-amnesia in the striving of higher ideals and values. Spiritual ideals help us to change and grow because they give us something to envision, to strive for. It is what arises spontaneously from the Soul…intuition unfolding revealing and affirming what calls to us from our depths. Authentic transformation is always guided by Core values/ideals or revelation for it to occur, as it is a primary principle for integration. With integration, there is “distinction” between personality-ego and individuality-Soul. Meditation is a means to move inward. Dreams lend insight & guidance.

To sum it up…Evil is a rebellion, an unbalance, of extremes (fundamentalism is an extreme): It is a lack of awareness/ignorance; rebellion & willfulness; aggression & invasion. The so many patterns of the ego that continually miss the mark, divert or misalign with the undivided stream of the One Life.

You may ask yourself what interrupts or diverts you?  What interferes with the pursuit of your ideals?  Most likely, your authentic answers will knock you off your high horse revealing within yourself, the sin of judgment.  But, don’t worry, I am not judging you, because you too, are an expression of God head…perhaps having missed the mark in the extreme.

Blessings,
Reverend Alisa Battaglia

Empowerment Through Awareness

Anyone who speaks the truth must point out the insanity of our times and challenge the authority that conforms people. If we care, we point out to others to wake them up and bring them to a state that is not deceived. ~Tara Singh

Awareness as a responsibility of consciousness is to empower people with knowledge necessary to live healthier, happier, creative and more joyful lives, free of dis-ease through prevention. Prevention strategies align with Nature in the use of organic foods, herbs, and natural therapies like sunshine and exercise, creative expression, heart centered relationships, nature connection, and cultivation of the spiritual core within us that pervades all of life. Empowerment lies in our daily choices. How well we apply the knowledge we receive and employ inner wisdom of discernment either sustains and leads us toward the path of health or towards one that disrupts natural processes producing dis-eased states. My goal is to educate and help individuals reconnect to their interior lives and the world around them with integrity, focus, and compassion. To help empower the bridge building of connectivity between two worlds, and finally to reflect the highest Light within, into the outer world as a creative expression of who they are. Without this general alignment and capacity to integrate, consciousness remains fragmented and thus, we as a race are easy to manipulate and control by both human predators and intrapsychic forces.

Awareness is central to well and an empowered life. With awareness we recognize how the corporate profit machines work by suppressing health freedom, civil liberties and Soul realities in the endless quest for profits through censorship of information and control, which blocks out all natural and common sense solutions outside of drugs, surgery and manufactured realities. The more we know how to prevent our own dis-ease states through common foods, herbs, sunlight, hydration, exercise, avoidance of cancer causing chemicals that line the market shelves and use those protective strategies against intra-psychic forces, the less control the industry (Big-Pharma, Big-Agri, Big Bio-tech, Big Government, Deep State, et al) has over us and the harder it is to exploit our bodies and Nature to create a revenue stream that enriches those corporations. With awareness, we can withdraw our energy and support of highly unethical, exploitive behaviors, which have caused great harm to human life, animals, delicate ecosystems and usurpation of natural resources across the globe.

Empowered, educated individuals are a threat to the profits of the illness industry, which is the backbone of all the other death-urge industries. Industrial Cartels have devolved into a system of perpetuating illness through: enforced ignorance of industry censored information that isolates real solutions by discrediting real science with junk science and all forms of medicine or modalities it does not control; has proposed industry standards that routinely assault and maim both human and Nature in the name of “science”; disease management via drugs over natural therapies; mass exploitation of the human body and natural resources in harmful profiteering on all levels. They have forgotten what it means to nurture and support the Spirit in Life. So, we each must choose with whom and what we wish to align in order to restore and manage the integrity of life from extinction.

Fully Convinced……

If you’re having trouble taking action, it’s probably because you haven’t fully convinced yourself that it must be done. Once you truly convince yourself, you’ll most certainly make it happen. Perhaps you think it’s something that is important. Yet there’s a big difference between thinking it’s important and knowing, without the least bit of doubt, that it must be done. So if you’re hesitant to take action, look within yourself for the reason why. Have the courage, and make the effort, to answer your own objections. You may discover that you’re not sincerely committed to achieving the results your actions would bring. And if that’s the case, you can choose to either find that commitment or to move on to something else. Your thoughts and actions are incredibly powerful. And to focus them in a particular direction, you must be absolutely convinced. Convincing yourself is indeed a challenge, and that’s as it should be. For when you truly convince yourself to do it, you have the power to make it so. ~ By Ralph Marston

Way Station … A Soul Teaching

Alisa Battaglia’s teaching via Dream state for re-entry into a new incarnational experience and Soul Group Signatures

“I arrive into a huge Way Station. I recall a momentous gathering of specific cyclic opportunity filled with an air of heightened anticipation, joy and focus for re-entry into a new incarnational experience. This familiar bustling depot is the meeting ground of all souls with entries and exits onto various stations. Each station represents a Soul Group Signature. I seek out my Soul Group signature and find a few of my fellow Soul buds sitting on benches at a long table. There are about 16 of us to one soul pod. I am warmly greeted and we share wisdom of our last incarnational experiences. I am somewhat surprised as to some of the souls that are there, as I remember them in my last life as being on the periphery and they did not seem spiritual at all.

With only a few of us there, we anticipate each discarnate soul member to arrive so that we may, as a group, exit into our next adventure. With feelings of trepidation we recall the Law that each Soul group member must be present before any can embark onto a new life journey, unless by group consensus and for special purposes only, where one goes in alone before the others. Otherwise, all of us must wait until the next cycle. Slowly, however, one-by-one arrives and each is greeted with cheer. With the table nearly full, except for two, we are nearly all there. We begin to talk among ourselves as the hour of departure beckons. We consider what life scenarios might have kept them from showing up on this auspicious Gathering of the Souls. We readily know that this incarnational opportunity will not arrive again for quite some time. We are filled with anticipation.

As in an airport, we hear our Soul Group call for assembly at the gate for boarding. Just at the final minute the last two arrive together and we joyously rush to our exit line-up. We stand in front of giant cubbies filled with box games, each with a life program and set of instructions that frame the experience for that incarnational role and the necessary agreements before launching into that experience. We make verbal exchanges about the games and consider the opportunities for soul advancement. We choose them on those merits. Not all of us choose the same game, however, but we take notes on how to remember one another for those of us that have. With a big hug, we bid one another adieu and good cheer on the next life travel and until the next gathering of incarnations.

Each of us exits by a jump off the platform like parachuting into a new life stream – descending by way of currents grounding our consciousness into the immersive stream of the new planetary life.” ~ END
