[ *Isvara – Sanskrit name for the Lord Discourse brought forth by Gurudevi, Shri Swami Maha-Shaktiananda who refers to herself as Miama (me a ma) August 22th, 2006 Emmett, Idaho US] Greetings, This is Miama, and it thrills me this very day to speak God’s name. The Sanskrit name for the Lord in his His aspect of the cosmic ruler, from the root ‘is’ , (is), to rule. Is-vara. Isvara is He by whose Will all universes in orderly cycles are created and dissolved. I Am Isvara, I Am Light. As a very young child, I set out upon looking at the first few pages in the Bible that I was handed, and I held the book in my hands, and I was told that it was a very special book. I’d held other books in my hands. But this book, this was a special book. And so I open up the book to the first page that it fell upon. I felt that that would be important and I let my eyes travel through these words until I felt like I was supposed to stop. Because there before me, were words on the page, standing out larger than any of the other words in living fire and I never will forget these words, and they were, I Am That I Am And I held the book in my hands and I could feel the weight of it. And my soul spoke to me and it said the word ‘NOW’. That all I needed were these words of living fire and the understanding of applying those words in the NOW, and that the book itself was like a history book, but if I understood those few words, ‘I Am That I Am’, that God’s Presence had spoken to me, and that I had seen this living script right before my eyes; living fire, text; alive with God’s Presence. And I knew this was true and no one could ever take that that away from me. So from a very, very small child I determined that for me, my church would always be the church of NOW. To love God NOW, to realize Light is God, and that there is no man-made church or doctrine that can replace that. But always remember to go to that one source; go inward; into that center of yourself; to your inter-soul connection. There’s where you will find the answers. That is where it will sit true; or it will sit untrue with you. The conscience is actually your Christ Self, your connection with the mediator between you and your I Am Presence. God in the perfect state of being that you have been created to reflect in your I Am Presence. God’s Presence given to you as your own I Am Presence is in a perfect state of being, of perfect wholeness. This is your causal body, your super-conscious mind. And the seven layers of spheres of rings of hue coming out of the center of, of your being in the causal body is a sight to behold. Anyone that’s ever looked up and seen their causal body and the crystal cord descending through the Christ Self into the back of the neck where the medulla oblongata is seated just at the base of the skull. And the crystal cord comes down the spine. This is the umbilical cord that we have to our higher causal body, and our Christ Self, the mediator, our etheric body also has seven layers of consciousness, of Light hues; levels and planes of consciousness. And when we go to sleep at night we travel in our Christ Self. Our physical body also has rings of Light; hues of Light manifesting, depending upon the person’s consciousness in the body temple. And those may reflect the higher colors and they may not. But everything about us is recorded, and so with the daily process we go through this transmutation of energy as it is given to us, so that we can handle it more isn’t given to us. The benefits that once life completely starts to unfold your divine plan, your perfect blueprint, when you leave the false identity and the synthetic parts of yourself behind; you remove them from your real Self; you let them fall off. And you take on the garments of Light of the Christ, and you become in perfect balance and harmony. It is wonderful to live in a state of oneness and joy with God. Iswara. I Am Iswara. I Am Light. Om Om Om Om Om Om Om Om Mani Pagni Hum (Gurudevi chanting) Brought forth by ~Gurudevi, Shri Swami Maha-Shaktiananda.
