Spirituality : Manifestation is the goal.

Recently, a lot of people try to make their living exclusively from spiritual counceling or coaching. They feel a call to become “spiritual experts”. By choosing what they call “My Mission” they are just trying to find an excuse to escape the game of life.

Personally, I think that in order to be able to guide people, it’s important to have somehow manifested ‘professional’ success on the ‘material’ plane. We need to have verified the effectiveness of our ‘spiritual hypotheses’ to confirm the rules of manifestation. Trying to make money by selling positive intentions is meaningless and deceptive.

Spirit is oriented towards manifestation

In fact, spirituality only makes sense when it is related to the world of manifestation, which is its natural field of application. Daily life is therefore the only way to assess the accuracy of our spiritual concepts. Otherwise they remain abstract and strictly emotional, and therefore illusory.

In my life, before I decided to advise people, I had several roles: I was a teacher, a diplomat, a restaurant owner, a baker, a writer… Each time my objective was to achieve “excellence” on my own way.

For me, “excellence” is the means of expressing my ideals to the best of my ability. In other words, to manifest “Divine Glory”. Jesus spoke of this in these terms “…the Father who dwells in me, he it is who does the works. Believe me, I am in the Father, and the Father is in me; believe at least because of these works.”

My successive “jobs” have always been a kind of laboratory work. Each time I have achieved my goal I have had to detach myself from my results because the goal achieved is not the real target. The aim is only to demonstrate the validity of a law of creation and expression. Attachment to the result is a kind of death.

Manifest and let Go

So when I decided to introduce Ho’oponopono in France in 2009 with Dr Len, it was in at a certain point of my life the result of my life research. I started to understand (at my own level) what worked and what didn’t work in my life options.

Since then I do not consider teaching classes as a ‘profession’ but as a ‘trans-mission’. I don’t depend on it to live, but it is part of my way to share a rule of the game that works for me everyday.

The “Zero state” taught through Morrnah’s version of the Ho’oponopono is a tool to let go of all programmings. It is not about adding something to what you are to become a “better person”. It’s just the contrary, it is getting rid of all beliefs cluttering your SELF-IDENTITY.

Self-Identity through Ho’oponopono is a DIY Trashbox, it’s why it is a very useful tool. It point to absolute emptiness. Even you ideas about ho’oponopono or Hawaii should be given up. It’s only when we reach this total detachment that we really reach the Zero point, in other words, leaving the word of duality and discrimination to notice you are ONE within the flow of life. This is what the Hawaiians call being“PONO”. Being PONO is the sole aim of ho’oponopono. It’s not a therapy, it’s a tool to remind us of who we really are by erasing everything we are not and think we are.

It’s not an end in itself, but simply a finger pointing at the moon. You mustn’t remain mesmerized by the finger and choosing to act as the finger showing the moon is not a way to make money it’s a way to teach the recipes that have helped you to become a successful human being.
