I first met
Michael Mirdad in this life in the early 1990s when he led a conference at a
Richardson, Texas hotel organized by Annie & Byron Kirkwood. Hundreds attended, and it was quite
successful. In exchange for the registration
fee, I (and some others) volunteered. My
gig was the table selling books, tapes, CDs, etc. of Michael, the musicians,
etc. during the first session. I felt so
very alive with light, and I realized that was the reason I attended the
conference—not to go to some of the various sessions/classes offered. So that’s where I sat (mostly) for about 2 ½ days. It seemed that least half of the people in
attendance came to the table and hugged my person—many more than once. I have
photo with Michael and one of the entertainers, and the light is obvious. It
was a Divine light overlay of an ascended being, and it was a couple days after
the conference before it faded away.
Michael
Mirdad has returned to North Central Texas many times since that conference. During those first years, I attended some of
his classes and gatherings. However,
what stands out in my memory is a flashover I had to an existence in another
realm (awake in broad daylight). I
walked up to a “cottage” or cabin in a wooded area. I saw through a window that a man and two
women were inside and recognized one as Michael and an “Ascended Master”
(although not in his body of this life as Michael Mirdad). The women I recognized as his two assistants
who also attended the conference (again, not in their this-life bodies). I was warmly welcomed and visited a
while. They knew and I knew that I wasn’t
to stay and work with them at their sanctuary.
All in love.
My reality
doesn’t 100% match Michael’s reality, of course, but it aligns closely. I’d
like to share the newsletter article here.
LIVING MASTERY
May 30, 2017
Michael Mirdad - www.michaelmirdad.com
There are basically three types of
people on earth: Those who are asleep, oblivious to the deeper meaning of life;
those who are waking-up and are attempting to experience some greater form of
spirituality or self-awareness; and those who are far enough along on the
spiritual path to become Living Masters.
To become a “Living Master” does not
mean we are “perfect” or that we are a guru, a swami, or someone who wears a
turban, nor is a living master to be confused with an “Ascended Master”—one who
has completed their lessons on earth and has broken their ties to karma and the
belief in the illusion of being separate from God. These Masters from the Far
East or “Ascended” Masters, such as Saint Germain certainly deserve a great
deal of respect, but rarely offer practical ideas on how the average person can
live or experience mastery on a day-to-day level—especially in the western
world.
Therefore, instead of thinking of
Mastery as being something ethereal or attained only by a few individuals, we
can instead learn to reach, and live in, a state of Mastery all the time.
Living Mastery does not mean we only experience this level of consciousness
while living in a monastery, temple, or retreat. Instead, to LIVE Mastery means
just that . . . we aspire to live the principles every day, in every place, and
in every way.
What does this look like? Does it mean
having a strict, vegetarian diet or practicing extreme forms of poverty and
abstinence? Does it mean we have to be from India or shave our head or wear a
robe? Does being a Master mean we have people bow at our feet or call us by a
special name or title?
These may have been accurate
descriptions for people of the past (or people of today following customs from
the past) but Masters of today are usually not easily discernible from the
average person on the street. People will not know our commitment to Mastery by
our preaching to them or by our wardrobe or by our having a special name.
Instead, they simply feel that we are somehow “different.” They might also
notice a glow on our face, a twinkle in our eye, sincerity in our smile, and
perhaps by our random acts of love and kindness. They might also recognize it
by the unique way we seem to do everything—doing all things well, with gusto,
and empowering others to do the same. They can see and feel our mastery because
we are living it!
Being (or becoming) a Living Master
(which is an ongoing process of development), means that we follow three basic
guidelines or commitments for living: 1) God is our first priority—meaning that
we make our relationship to Spirit a priority above all other relationships and
that we practice some form of effective prayer and meditation in order to
commune with God. 2) We are committed to increasing God’s Presence in every
part of our being—meaning that rather than keeping God as a lofty, intangible
concept that we only think about when we are praying or meditating, we choose
to feel Spirit’s Presence in every part of our being. 3) As we increase God’s
Presence throughout our being, we also bring that Presence forth in every part
of our life—meaning that we channel God’s Will and Love into our work,
parenting, partnership, lifestyle, and all other areas of our life–without
exception. This is LIVING MASTERY!
In ancient times it was taught that
the path to Mastery was for only a few select individuals. This limit in
numbers was once imposed because of our own lack of faith and self-worth. But
the door is open now for everyone to walk forward and claim, practice, and live
the life of a Master. In these ancient times, there were schools that would
accept only the most committed individuals who would swear their lives to
becoming more of God on earth—a master. Some of these schools exist to this
day.
I myself have explored nearly every
major school of spiritual thought, including orders of Christian mystical
teachings. I’ve been invited by some of the greatest spiritual teachers of our
time to “carry the torch” of their work to the next generation. However, there
came a time when Christ revealed to me that the “mystery schools” of the past
maintain claims of ancient knowledge but all too often with very little
practical application in the present. And to live as a Master certainly might
include some study on the part of the student but, more importantly, it
involves developing the commitment and skills to apply anything we learn or
have learned.
Also, these ancient schools often
preach roots in antiquity, guarantee ascension, channel ascended beings, and
hold volumes of “secret knowledge” (which some of them actually have). But they
often neglect to recognize or teach that through simple exercises in humility
and/or surrendering our heart and soul (as well as each day of our life) to
God, then we are living as Masters—beyond anything these schools could offer.
This means we access information that is older than the schools of antiquity
and that if we truly love and respect ourselves, God, and others as fully as
possible, we are ascending (it’s not a technique). It also means that if we
integrate our Divinity into our thoughts, words, and deeds (as Buddha
suggested) then we are doing more “lightwork” than even an ascended master
because we are then bringing light into the densest of realms.
Some Masters (especially those in
ancient times) only focus their attention or attainment in one particular area
of their life (such as Buddha did with meditation or the greatest warriors have
manifested in battle). This was perfect for them, as that was their path and
what they needed to bring to the world at that time. However, the world’s most
integrated Masters (especially those in modern times) are meant to apply their
Mastery consciousness on ALL levels. A Master of today develops and maintains a
connection to Spirit and nurtures it in their daily life to such an extent that
it shows in their mind, body, and soul. The results of this commitment can be
quite amazing as it makes one’s life more loving, peaceful, effortless, and
efficient. It can even sometimes look like we are surrounded by miracles and
supernatural events and experiences—and we are.
Living Mastery allows us to have more
command over things that tend to control the average person, including limiting
belief systems and even natural laws, such as nutrition or the weather. This is
not to say that as a Master, we ignore the laws of food, traffic, discernment,
and morality. On the contrary, because of our focus on “Love for All,” we are
guided to follow what brings “the most good to the most people.” This is a
simple application of having a loving attitude and usually results in being
above much of that which we refer to as “natural laws.” Nevertheless, a Master
still works in harmony with these laws, which is one of the primary principles
of Taoism.
Since Living Mastery (and all true
practices of spirituality) is never void of application, we can rest assured
that committing to this level of consciousness helps in all facets of our life,
including getting clearer Guidance. Our Inner Guide (the Holy Spirit or Divine
Mother) that God sends as a comforter will help us decide what works for our
highest good and the good of others. Does this mean that others will agree with
all of our choices and beliefs? Often not! Here is the test of vigilance to
follow our Truth and here is where the “old school” (of doing what we are told)
and our new, inner school of Divinity part ways. As stated in the scriptures,
“Let others do as they may but as for me, I will serve the living God.”
In short, Living Mastery means to
release the desperation, confusion, and frustration that we may have once
experienced on a regular basis. Instead of having the same old struggles or
demonstrating weakness against the same old patterns, the path of Mastery means
learning to be a spiritual being having a sacred human experience, rather than
a mere human having an occasional spiritual experience. This means having a
whole new view of life and a whole new way of experiencing ourselves and the
world in which we live. The past is no longer a memory of regrets but is
instead a school from which we have learned. .Gone are the old patterns of
victimization, which are now replaced with taking responsibility for our
thoughts, words, and deeds. Also, Living Mastery keeps us in a state of
Guidance and Miracle Mindedness, as we learn to have a healthy, joyful, and
passionate relationship with God, ourselves, and others.
Again, the path of Living Mastery is
no longer the path for “the few” but is instead meant for all.Mastery (the
remembrance of our Divinity) is inevitable but it is a choice we must make and
a commitment we must keep.
