Spiritual Mastery for the 21st Century



Think And Grow Poorer...

by Dr. Gwen MacGregor
“Strugglers often lack concentration. Concentration is a key discipline in personal growth. Everything else is meaningless, for your power rests where your consciousness flows.”
-Stuart Wilde in Life Was Never Meant to Be a Struggle



“To begin with, let us remember, all of US, that we live in a country where every law-abiding citizen, enjoys FREEDOM of thought and FREEDOM of deed unequaled anywhere in the world.”
-Napoleon Hill in Think and Grow Rich


On Carl Jung’s reason for writing, Answer to Job:

“I had to wrench myself free of God, so to speak, in order to find that unity in myself, which God seeks through Man. It is rather like the vision of Symeon the theologian, who sought God in vain everywhere in the world, until God rose like a little sun in his own heart.”



The question of personal abundance, thoughts and deeds, the use of the higher mind versus the lower one and just pure luck has been the source of lots of conversations in this time of speculation. Are we in a recession? Should I be stockpiling my wealth away for the proverbial rainy day? Or, is this a time of reckoning where all of us must take stock of ourselves and straighten up our paths to glory? I spent 45 minutes on the phone this morning doing an intuitive session with a client who wanted, badly, to play the role of Job in her own drama. I spent 35 minutes presenting her own “mirror” to her, only to find she just wanted to act out her own woes on a stage of despair. But, lo and behold, at the 36th moment, she actually started speaking to me about her daily meditative periods and how spiritual she truly was. “Thank you, oh God-One, for an opening,” I thought! I then proceeded to speak to her about how she could convert the magic of her meditations into a wave of manifestation that could pull her out of her financial doldrums and put her back on her foundation with God.


Now, if you think I am about to give you the formula for the riches of Trump, you are reading the wrong Fortune 500, on-line magazine. The thoughts of the higher path are not corporate-bound but, they do present paths of glory that surpass any walkway to Wall Street. As it turns out, my client this morning is in real estate. I gently reminded her about how Dorothy’s home in The Wizard of Oz is swept up in a tornado, complete with loss of livestock, personal possessions and for all she knew, everyone she loved. By some higher power, she falls into the land of little people (pure innocence and new beginning) and opens the door of her old world into a beautiful, bright, gorgeous place of abundance. It took a blow to her head (wake-up there, princess), to get her to start thinking more imaginatively, more creatively and to jump-start her higher awareness. Hence the need for the Good Witch and the Bad Two! Oh look, even in this beloved fairy tale, the bad guys are out-gunning the good! And, no surprise here, it took Toto, her dog (God spelled backwards) to pitch her into the turmoil that would eventually straighten out her life.


I like to remind myself that economic and political times change constantly but, the path to higher knowing and moderation stays the same. We always start with every gift, slowly squander them with meaningless activity, bewail our fates as the gifts transform and disappear and, miraculously then, save our own butts at the end of our very mythic tall tales. Behind every fairy tale champion or ego, you will find a meaningful, deep, spiritually-led individual who figures out that their higher self and meaning in life, go hand-in-hand. So, are you ready to embrace your champion now and help US get back on the road to moderation and growth or, do you need more time to wallow with the pigs and be trapped in the pig-pen? The beauty of whatever answer you reply with is that it is all already ordained by God as a gift of Free Will. What wonderful Parents we have in heaven(really, inside of each of us)!


So, back to my client this morning...She started to speak to me about how spiritual she was and how important it was to explain that point to me, when I started speaking again from the same place of wisdom as earlier in the reading. But now, I had the opportunity to capture her attention in the web of her own making. I reminded her that she had attracted me so, at no time did I think her spirituality was questionable. Then, I reminded her that the loss of her two properties, one by fire and one by wealth-deprivation, had everything to do with putting her on her own proverbial, spiritual path once more. She seemed to think that sitting in meditation twice a day kept her life-line to God sacred and holy. Many of us have shared that belief. Most of them are stuck in the same personal and spiritual place they were at birth and, the God in many cultures still calls them, sheep. Go figure, all these years we thought being a sheep was a good thing, religiously. Maybe we didn’t understand that part of religious-speak?


Today, in the land represented by the Eagle (hint, hint!), we are being asked to shift our consciousness and accept the greater, group work. We are being asked to accept different peoples, varied political ideologies and people of other races into our theories of abundance and love. The eagle flies above US, not down at the street-level. The ideology of the EAGLE is one we have to ascend to, not shoot down from the skies. The skies are still the limit but, we have to replace our Capitol with the Emerald City, which is offered to every great civilization right before they topple. Do we renew our spiritual vows within ourselves and with each other, or do we pine away, lost in the things like houses, and cars and my kid’s college? Remember, we are at the stage, generally, in our collective development where the God-Head with US is reminding us that, “You can’t take it with you,” so, what do you want your legacy of God to be? Have you not wondered why we all are responsible for creating George Bush in the role of our leader for the past 8 years? Are you surprised by the press asking, over and over, what is this leader’s legacy going to be? We all need to answer that question, pause to reflect and then, get busy with our new paths to glory.


In the end of my intuitive session with my client, earlier today, I brought her full circle back to her own consciousness with her Creator as well as impressing upon her that the time of long meditation away from her fellow man is over in her growth cycle. Now is the time to put her show on the road. Utilizing ceremony, visualization and constant upkeep of positive values and thoughts, she can excel in her market in a down time. Sometimes we have to marshal our forces and send out a different unit of command to re-launch a more effective campaign. Oh dear, did I just describe Barak Obama? Smile. Now, for all you intuitive people, did I just put in a plug for Barak? Absolutely yes, spiritually, and absolutely no, to supporting him over someone else. In order to bake bread, we have to introduce an enzyme. Hence, Barak. We used Mr. Nader last time, just in case you wondered, so, you can step out now, Ralph!


If you read the above 3 quotes, you know that each of these three wise men are on board in the same vein of thought. They know that all abundance comes freely through our thoughts of God. Our belief in our own spiritual foundation and our ability to be uplifted individually by those beliefs are magnified as we share that upliftment with others. It is a formula of God, not man. Therefore, let me leave you with a ceremony of light that will start your energy up, like a jumped battery, again. Aloha!



Ceremony of Light

In the next 3 weeks, select a very needful person from the news or your neighborhood, and utilize this ceremony of light to uplift them. Begin by visualizing their face or name in the center of your heart. Then allow the sweetness of your being to simply drench them with love, light, and aid, as you visualize yourself being surrounded and imbued by the most perfect light of God you can imagine. When you feel they have been soaked in this light of yours long enough,(no more than 5 minutes, okay? Overkill is not necessary), give your thanks and release the thought into the sky. Try over the next 6 weeks to keep up the exercise at least twice a day. You will naturally move on when it is time. That means you will simply feel the need to transfer your good will to another project or person. This exercise enforces your will of God, your need to share and your innate belief that you are truly fortunate.


The United States has come full circle in its original plan. I say, let’s go for another 232 years. Remember, The Emancipator hailed from Springfield, IL. The time for the new emancipation, one of spirit, not necessarily form, has arrived. How do we know? He is not a man, but, a sign from God. That sign from God also hails from Springfield, IL and he is a man of many colors. Barak is a symbol. He does not have to be elected to have accomplished OUR goals. But, it does not mean he can not be part of the race for the future. God Bless our United States of Consciousness!


All the best to you as we Spring forward,
Dr. Gwen G. MacGregor
