Got this free gift book on subscription to Readers’ digest magazine! Thought God will give some cash prize on this subscription but seems luck is evasive!! And see the readers’ digest sending to me subscription gift where the title of the book is interesting “Become a Magnet to Money – Through the Sea of Unlimited Consciousness” by Bob Proctor with Michele Blood! The monthly magazines I have not read. I opened randomly to read only the last chapter in this book since it landed!! But today, I opened the book and landed at the last chapter titled “Level Five – I am The Sea”!! This last chapter is very interesting, which I took effort to type here for you all readers! Do read!! (I could have searched google and copy pasted but better to type that which is wisdom giving my fingers and eyes some concentration!)
There are those who know to read or write any language but do they understand or do they ever are able to see in what context or what the someone tries to convey!! There are those to whom you try to make understand and it falls on partial blind eyes or selective deaf years!! There are those with selective amnesia!! Also for all those who love to see me writing and for all those who hate to see me writing!! All that I find till date is people “judge”! There are those who come and tell me what they have read or heard from others, but they have not their own original…! They share others but they are still not who they are with a clear identity or uniqueness!! A time comes when you respect each cult or master or guru or teacher, and you stop differentiating or judging! You accept each one as part of the whole knowledge!! Don’t ask what is spirituality and who is a spiritual!! Are you??? The wisdom is spread all around you! Do not be a marketing person for this or that cult or guru or gods or masters! Don’t tell me at least which one is better than the other!! All are great!! Anyways… please read!! But still I doubt (but why should I doubt) that there are many who know English but still don’t understand what the words or sentences convey!! Have a great time all of you!!

Level Five – I am The Sea
My Friend Azima shared this story and as neither she nor I could find its original author I have taken the liberty of changing it a little for this conversation. So I deeply thank whoever wrote it:
There was a little girl completely made of sand, she would sit on the beach and look lovingly out at the Infinite Sea. She wanted very much to go in and swim but she was afraid of the water but then one day she decided to no longer be afraid and go in for a swim. As she reached the waters edge the small waves came up and licked at her feet and she noticed that her feet were dissolving into the water, it tickled and felt good but at the same time it frightened her so she ran back. Again her longing for the Sea was too powerful a desire so she again walked up to the small waves and her feet again started to dissolve into the Sea and it felt so good that she was no longer afraid and loved the feeling so much that she walked into the Sea and dissolved into The Sea of Eternity.
What a beautiful story. This says it all for Level Five. All the ice has melted and we are at last consciously, and completely, One with The Sea of Eternity. We cannot really call Enlightenment a Level as now there is only The Sea. These rare Enlightened beings no longer live in duality and have become God Conscious. Spiritual Masters who have devoted their lives to giving us Truth have brought us to our present Level of consciousness. The light that we experience today is the result of the Light which has come down through time from these Enlightened Ones. There are souls teaching us from on high whenever we decide to connect to their Light.
Here are some names you may recognize of these rare beings who have realized that they are the Sea of Eternity, a reflection of God-in-form:: Saint Francis of Assisi, Jesus the Christ, Sri Ramakrishna, Paramhansa Yogananda, Babaji, Sai Baba, Mother Mira, Mary Magdalene, Joel S. Goldsmith, Shankara, Hermes Trismegistus, Lord Buddha… and this list continues. The list we have is not that long as there are more Enlightened Teachers who have left no record, and yet we still DO enjoy their teachings that have been transmitted esoterically. We gratefully thank them ALL as they are all aspects of THE DIVINE, sent here to help bring us home. (OM)
As mentioned many times during this converstation, we are keeping this book simple so I will not be going into the details of these Enlightened beings lives or their teachings.
These rare Enlightened Beings mentioned wrote/ write or taught/ teach Truth. (As Time is an illusion that was a challenge to write). Some are with us in form and other appear when necessary, while others have not been seen (That we know about) for thousand of years. We sometimes feel that Enlightened Being must have only lived thousands of years ago, however IF this world is constantly changing and evolving, then it only makes sense that consciousness is also evolving through us. Plus there is no time. There ARE rare Beings of Enlightenment alive today. Some are still with us in the physical and some we are simply gifted by their Light through their teachings and students. But they are all still alive, as we areall immortal and they just knew they were. They had / have become one with the Sea, one with Eternity, One with God. There is no duality. They can say, I Am the Light, The Grace that was flowing through me is now I… I am Divine Grace; I am the Sea of Unlimited Consciousness!
Some were Avatars like the Maha Avatar, Bajaji. Avatars are rare Beings who never lived in physical form here before, they only took on a physical body to help the seekers. Babaji still appears hundreds of years later in real flesh and blood to initiate a new soul to teach. Some become Enlightened through Experiencing the many mind states and Levels of Consciousness and have had many physical bodies before. Some call Enlightened ones Ascended Masters.
Saint Francis of Assisi woke up from Level One to Level Five whoosh, and people, at first including his family, thought he had gone mad. Many families and friends of these beings simply think they have lost their minds. I wonder how many were put away that we do not know of … mmmm…. Anyhow, irrespective of Enlightenment Level they were at, they were way beyond any Level in physical consciousness and way beyond Level Four. It takes a HUGE leap in realization to go from Level Four to Five, although these great Teachers of Light have let us know that it is possible and have gifted us with teachings of Truth, to help us do the same. Jesus the Christ said, “These works and even greater will you do.”
Not all Enlightened Beings become Teachers with students, some only teach esoterically and are purely healers, vessels of Light. Once people realized they were in the presence of Divinity they would come to be healed.
We can tap into their Divinity through contemplating their teachings and meditating on their words. Oh what bliss when we feel their words come to life and we know that we are no longer merely reading words but we are in fact having God’s message transmitted through us. Oh what gifts God has given us with these beautiful Enlightened Teachers of Truth. It is almost too much for me to write about these Teachers as I think on all who have helped me on my path that my heart is now overflowing with love, gratitude and wonder! It is ineffable to attempt to describe the magnanimity of these illuminated Teachers of Light. It truly is beyond words. May my tears of gratitude also touch your hearts right now, right as you are reading these words. We are so loved, so very loved.
So let me ground myself and continue this conversation before I forget why I am even sitting at this computer. These Great Ones can help anyone swimming, seeking, as now they are the Sea, Waters, the tides and the waves. They no longer live in human ego-personality, even though they will play act any part that will help us to wake up. Many people think Enlightened Teachers aren’t human. They think that they sit around all day and only meditate and that they are extremely passive, instead of the strong beings they truly are. They are our Life Guards, Generals, and Gladiators of Light. Humanity has been programmed to believe that their out behavior should be religious in nature, and that all is peace and harmony. Most Enlightened Teachers can appear exactly the opposite especially when they are putting on an act to help a pupil. They are real characters who can appear sometimes to be a little crazy, speaking in riddles, and engage in pursuits that are not always looked upon as holy. These beings have transcended time and space and gone beyond the stereotypical okra robe wearing idea we have of Enlightenment, particularly in the West. It is beyond many to think that one who is not from the East could be a teacher of Truth. Why would they not reincarnate in the West where there REALLY is so much need for LIGHT? Of course they do and they are here now. (Thank you God)
Some will, for certain students, put on a personality that is sweet and slightly reserved and at other times for different students be totally outrageous and colourful. Whatever personality they put on, one thing is for sure, they are very funny and have great sense of humor and are quite playful. They do not care what we think of them as they love us so much, their mission is only that we wake up to Truth and release our souls from the Maya. There are lots of jokes and laughing taking place between them and their students. Whatever is required for us to have Light transmitted to us they will appear is such a way so we can handle all that Divine Power and Light. They are however, pure and innocent as they live in the place where there is no time or space, where there is no good or bad. Just pure Eternal Sea.
I met one teacher, many years ago when I was new to the path, (who was not full Enlightened but was experiencing Samadhi and was very high being) who loved his students so deeply, however whenever he did any public events his language was very colorful and his antics on stage quite outrageous that many people would leave his seminars in disgust. He would then turn to all of us who were still in the room and in his wonderful cockney accent say, Right, Good now that we have pissed off the one who were not ready and who still live in judgment, we will begin the teaching. And then he would become a totally different person who was so loving and deeply compassionate. His eyes would shine with such Light and Love on us all. We just knew he had only been putting on an act to release the ones who were not yet ready, as he knew they would only disrupt the lessons with their judgemental vibes and stillness. Being from a rock ‘n’ roll background I LOVED his outrageous fun personality.
So how do we go from Level Four to Level Five?
Only God knows. All this author knows is that to love God and meditate and dedicate one’s life to Truth, Love and Light is all we can do until Eternity takes over. If we are ready to lose our mermaid tails and become one with the Sea, well then it be so. As mentioned we cannot know while we are still experiencing some duality. Only God in us knows and it will be done if we are ready. YES of course we desire liberation, FREEDOM from the Maya. We must simply allow ourselves to desire God and our unity with God more than anything else. We desire this to serve God, attainment is not what it is about anymore, now it all about FREEDOM and serving God. We have tasted a little of what REAL FREEDOM is at Level three and Four and now we want Liberation. What do we do now? All we can do is love Light/ God/ Eternity with all of our hearts and serve all others along the way by becoming brighter everyday through mindfulness, kind acts, creating strong bodies and meditation. And if we are very blessed we will meet an Enlightened Teacher who can help us! When we are ready a Teacher will come to us either in human form or in another way.
There is no one who can explain what Enlightenment is, except of course an Enlightened Soul and then they may say, it cannot possibly understood here, in this three-dimensional world you call home. For those of us who have studied for many years, we may think we understand it, but if so we are only allowing our minds to play tricks on us again and may even tell us we are Masters and have already arrived. Our intellectual, so called, understanding of Enlightenment will be a conceptual idea, as Enlightenment resides in world’s that are way beyond our conceptual knowledge or intellect.
Lets now allow Lord Buddha’s teaching to help us a little to explain why it cannot be explained. Buddha explained to his disciples that ‘Enlightenment cannot be explained.’ He made it very clear to his students through his discourses on the dharma, ‘Enlightenment can be attained only through an individual’s practice of meditation, and that all of the explanations and rituals that are often associated with self discovery will not lead a person to true Enlightenment.’ He made it abundantly clear that Enlightenment can be experienced only through the actual practice of meditation. He said, ‘The more we think we understand Enlightenment, the less we really know it.’
We see, when in an Enlightened Being presence, gold Light emanating and we feel such exquisite love that we simply know we are literally standing front of God Consciousness. If we are too clogged we may not see or feel a thing but something will have shifted for even the sleepiest sleep walker. Awake Ones, no longer live in human consciousness, yes they have a human vehicle but you know that 24/7 they are God reflecting and beaming Light Source.
So let’s look into what we have been taught from true Enlightened Teachers as to what they actually experience during the transition period. It has been said that the cells of the person who is transitioning into full God Consciousness are being changed, and infused with Light. This can be painful as this Light is no Light that can be experienced on the earthplane of consciousness. So the person literally, after this period, has cells of Light which is why they radiate gold and explains why some can disappear and appear again wherever they choose.
I have been taught that it can take some many months of integrating themselves into both worlds after Enlightenment has been achieved. Often they require someone to dress and feed them until they are ready to live as God Consciousness in both worlds. (Although they now live in so many dimensions and worlds as the One Sea) This can also happen to some degree during Level Four, as we have such deep Light and spiritual experiences, we can lose ourselves in the Light and may not b able to speak, let alone drive at certain times, so even at Lever four it helps tremendously to have someone or more than one friend who can be there for us to assist in the assimilation. We do require some help in assimilating to both worlds at Level Four as we come in and out, but this must be nothing in comparison to what is experienced during the transition to Enlightenment.
Some Enlightened Saints do not teach per se, as they are in Nirvikalpa Samadhi most of the time and they have to have people feed them and look after them, because their bodies just can’t be experienced. One of this author’s deep loves and Teachers is Sri Ramakrishna. When first reading his words I was literally overcome with joy and love. I had to choose times when I could read his teachings as I knew when I did I would be good for nothing else for the rest of the day. Sri Ramakrishna went into nirvikalpa Samadhi at the drop of a hat and he had to be looked after and have someone with him at all times so that he would not hurt himself when he walked as he no longer was here. You see why we have to have strong bodies and minds as even at level four the Light is so intense we have learn how to ground ourselves. Sri Ramakrishna, I feel was born an Avatar. An avatar has not been here before they just come to earth help us from the kindness and strength of God. They are completely God Consciousness. There is NO duality at all in an Avatar.
Some souls have decided to come back in a particular time in history as Light was needed to wake people up from so much darkness. These Beings come and teach many things, including how to become successful in our careers so that we can then have the freedom required to live fully. Money does have power per se but it cannot give us the freedom to live an independent dedicated, giving life.
When we read an Enlightened Teachers Truth we feel it within our being. We reach a certain Level of awareness where we just feel and know that this person is one with God. It does not matter whether we see anything, if we are feeling it as all beautiful, it is a knowing that Divinity wrote those words, or perhaps, is standing right in front of us at the post office in the form of a small child.
Now we have come to the end of this conversation however for you it can be the beginning… We are all Souls. We are beautiful luminous souls experiencing this amazing world. So whatever needs to be done to help the souls and our own soul is being done and we can always trust that.
It has been a great honour to have this time together; I wish you boundless joy on your path, overflowing with Peace, Light, Blessings and Abundance.
The Sea is waiting for you to go home…….
