Spiritual Amnesia is the temporary loss or separation from "knowing" or believing in that which we know to be TRUTH.
You know what I am talking about don't you?
We all suffer from it on occasion; the trick is recognizing when it is occurring and to shift in consciousness, emotion and action before we spiral out of control and complete lose our minds.
The great news is that for most of us, Spiritual Amnesia is temporary and the time frame between forgetting and remembering seems to decrease with each exposure!
The Principle of Divine Timing
The TRUTH that I temporarily forgot had to do with the Principle of Divine Timing; in particular as it relates to manifestation, prayer requests, and in more practical terms, the active co-creation of dreams, goals and objectives.
So, yesterday, when I realized that the company we use to communicate via email to our ever-expanding global community was not sending out the automatic email verifications when people registered for my programs or resources, I suffered from temporary spiritual amnesia because I forgot about the Principle of Divine Timing.
So for a short time I pushed, pulled and struggled with trying to fix something that was 100% out of my control (you can relate to that too right?).
Fighting against Divine Timing is something that most of us struggle with. We struggle with it because it often looks different than our picture of the time frame that occurs between the time we put out a request to the Universe and the time in which it manifests in reality.
You see, when that which we desire comes to us in a different form, too soon, or later than we "think" we want it to manifest, we often either don't recognize it or actually initiate SPIRITUAL SABATOGE by giving up too early (don't quit five minutes before the miracle right?).
Even more perplexing at times is that Divine Timing is often not about us, but is in place to meet the needs of someone else – some other spiritual being “living a human experience” who is simply not yet ready to align with your desires.
Get Out of Your Own Way!
More times than not, when dealing with any internal or external struggle, we just have to learn to get out of our own way!
Think about it. How often do you find yourself struggling to make something work or happen in your timing and your picture only to later realize that you were violating the Principle of DIVINE TIMING?
How many times have you temporarily “forgotten” that all things are in DIVINE ORDER, and therefore gave up because things were not happening according to your HUMAN EXPECTATIONS?
How often have you misinterpreted your DIVINE PURPOSE, and found yourself spinning in circles because you refused to acknowledge and act upon DIVINE INSPIRATION?
These are all powerful signs that you have been a sufferer of Spiritual Amnesia – that temporary forgetting of your DIVINE TRUTH.
How to Regain Your Memory – Recovering from Spiritual Amnesia
The very first step in recovering your DIVINE GUIDANCE is to take the time to go inward, access your DIVINE VOICE and DIVINE INTUITION and a deeper spiritual resonance. This voice is often muted by spiritually irrational fears, fears so great that they inspire spiritual denial, ultimately leading to the temporary forgetting of one’s purpose.
The second step is to invest the time and energy into truly identifying and defining your DIVINE PURPOSE. As a culture we tend to focus on finding that magic bullet or pill that will make all of our dreams come true.
People spend thousands and thousands of dollars a year on perceived “quick fixes,” get rich quick schemes, and strategy based solutions. Know this; if your endeavors are not aligned with your purpose, your very reason for being here, nothing you do, no amount of money you spend, will ever result in deep spiritual fulfillment.
Purpose gives you meaning and frees you to be and do what you are meant to be and do. Purpose is and should be foundational to vision, mission and strategy and serves as the big WHY. Aligning with purpose gives us an unimaginable level of commitment and resiliency, both of which absolutely need to be in place prior to any worthy pursuit being fully realized.
The third step in recovering from Spiritual Amnesia is to uncover the beliefs that are driving your thoughts, perceptions, feelings and behaviors. Spiritual Sleepwalking is important to mention here. Spiritual Sleepwalking is the very human phenomenon of living and operating on automatic pilot, not being present to the DIVINE KNOWLEDGE that is always accessible to us.
When in a sleepwalking mode, we unconsciously gather and adopt beliefs that are spiritually irrational, based on other people’s perceptions of how the world operates, and the stories they pass along like a poisonous virus. The stories are often unconscious fibs or universal generalizations -- which tend to be false—yet they choose to tell them and we choose to listen (and often retell, thus continuing the cycle of self deceit).
Spiritual Sleepwalking is akin to being a magnet for misinformation. Myths, opinions and beliefs that do not serve your highest good or highest purpose permeate human consciousness and take up residence in your mind, thus creating major blockages to the realization of DIVINE TRUTH.
Your inner voice is overshadowed by fear, doubt, judgment, cynicism and the many limitations caused by unconsciously adopted self-limiting and self defeating beliefs.
Ask Yourself the Big Questions
Thus, we forget to ask the BIG questions, the very questions that help us travel inward to our “inknown” truth and DIVINE WISDOM because we just simply “adopt” the opinions and beliefs of our families, friends, people we see as “authorities and experts” and the media.
Often, it ends up that we view the world through someone else’s eyes and are literally blinded to Truth. We abdicate our God-given right to choose and fail to exercise free will in the formulation of the beliefs and opinions that influence everything we experience.
Of course, when I regained my Divine Memory, I surrendered to the fact that I had no control over the software glitch and that EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON!
Like maybe you lost your keys today because the Universe wanted you to miss an accident. Or an appointment gets canceled to open up your schedule for a DIVINE OPPORTUNITY? Or, your praying to manifest $50,000 and instead of it showing up in one big fat check delivered by Publishers Clearing House, it emerges as a DIVINE IDEA – one that you ignore or fail to recognize as the very thing that will open you to a level of abundance that you are not even able to imagine.
Anyway, when I regained my memory, the deep knowing of TRUTH, I was able to acknowledge that there was a divine timing issue caused by the Divine Mishap. Rather than get all tied up in knots, expending precious energy and time worrying about something that is and will always be in DIVINE ORDER, I just simply decided to extend the special promotion we had going for our next Awakening to Purpose program and released any perceived burdens to the Universe.
Regaining my memory immediately put me back into alignment with my Divine Purpose and I spontaneously experienced the inner peace we all desire, at least when we are being honest with ourselves. Coming back to center freed me from the unnecessary burden of worry and struggle and my higher truth was allowed to emerge.
Awaken to Your Divine Purpose
I can not emphasize enough the powerful connection between Awakening to Purpose and the manifestation of your greatest desires. All I can say is that Awakening to My Purpose and applying the 7 Keys to Awakening that came to me during a powerful meditation, has completely changed my own life.
Awakening to and designing a life according to your divine purpose is probably the most powerful preventative measure you can take to avoid being overcome by spiritual amnesia.
If you have heard my story, you know that I went from being given a death sentence to being radically healed.
I have manifested DIVINE IDEAS that have become books, music, programs, and powerful relationships.
I know my DIVINE PURPOSE and everything I do, think, act on or create comes from that deep place of knowing.
I have re-programmed self defeating beliefs, understand what is mine to do (and what isn't) and have developed complete trust and faith in my DIVINE INTUITION - and so can you.
And, when you do, I promise you will suffer less and less and less from the pesky Spiritual Amnesia that blocks you from your DIVINE BLISS!
