Memory or Inspiration - You Choose

From Ananda

And so you are driven by one of two impulses: the impulse of memory or the impulse of inspiration. For most of your lives you are driven by the impulse of memory. My parents did it this way and so I will do it this way. My mother was heavy and so I will be heavy. My father smoked so I will smoke.

Most of the ills of the world are as a result of being driven by memories, racial memory, illness memory, religious memory, governmental memory, national memory. These memories exist as knots or balls of energy hovering all around the planet. They spin and as they spin, they send out rays of emotional energy which then is implanted in those around and the memories are then acted out by those within whom they are implanted.

But there is another way to live life. You can also live your life from inspiration - INSPIRE-ation. Just as there are the balls of emotional memories floating around the planet, there are also balls of inspiration floating around the planet. The balls of inspiration are made of a much less dense material than the balls of emotion. You might call this material "love." The balls of inspiration are not immediately available to those whose belief bodies are too dense.

A dense belief body will call the emotional beliefs to it. You normally call the belief body the astral body. When the astral body begins to shift and become less dense and less connected to the earth plane, it then becomes open to the balls of inspiration which are all around.

Love is the key to lessening the density of the astral body. Since the astral body is the source of the impulse to move forward, whatever it is sensitive to is what will motivate it. If it is sensitive to the emotional memories, then THEY will motivate it. If it is sensitive to the inspirations, then THOSE will motivate it. So the key is to lessen the density in the astral body so that it is more open to the balls of inspiration hovering all around. We do that using the energy of love.

Actually, this inspirational energy is the energy of compassion. Love is a word with too many meanings and implications to it for those who live on planet earth. The meaning of compassion is clear. Compassion is the opening of the heart to the fullness of what is right in front of you, not excluding any of it - the complete acceptance of all of it. There is no judgment at all in compassion. Simply acceptance. When the astral body is drenched with compassion, infused with compassion, its density lessens and it is more open to the motivation of inspiration.

But how to do this? How to bring about this drenching of the astral body with compassion? This is the question, is it not? Indeed.

Acceptance is the key. Complete acceptance of every tiny bit of yourself. And for each tiny bit of yourself that you accept, you fill it with compassion, you drench it in compassion, you place yourself in a state of forgiveness for any lack of compassion in the past and you move on in the moment. And if the situation for which you were feeling compassion arises again, you do the same thing again. And you continue to do it for as long as it takes. And it is in that manner that you will finally create for yourself an astral body that is filled with compassion and is open to the inspiration that lies all around you.
