This document discusses Jacob's Ladder as a metaphor for spiritual growth and self-improvement. It encourages seeking your higher self through meditation and finding inner beauty. While some tools can help with spiritual growth, the document warns against stopping your climb up Jacob's Ladder or engaging in spiritual ego by trying to force beliefs on others.

You Are Beautiful: Finding Inner Beauty Through Jacob's Ladder

YOU are BEAUTIFUL

April 18, 2017!
WHY almost everyone doesn’t accept that they are beautiful,
special, near perfect, and showing up otherwise is a wasted and
erroneous perception! This life is made for you and me regardless
of how confusing, and at times abusing it may be. We are made
of spirit in material form - the spirit is always beautiful, but often
must be explored like in the story of ‘Jacob’s Ladder’ from the
book of Genesis. Jacob’s Ladder is the colloquial name for a
connection between the earth and heaven that the biblical Patriarch Jacob dreams about during his flight from
adversity or of his hating inner self.!
!
The ‘ladder’ might be imagined to be a self directed journey of step by step, rung by rung, higher and higher on
Jacob’s spiritual ladder to your higher self to the heaven within. All the ‘self help’ tools are readily available more than
ever before to reach that higher superconsciousness. The ‘seeker’ can find the guide within thru meditation leading to
the ladder of love of self first. The beauty you find within will be a light throughout the rest
of your life for you and for those who can receive your blessings. However, be leary of
proselytizing as that is symbolic of ones who have taken a few steps then are filled with
spiritual ego, and stop on the climb to spiritual freedom.!
!
A short story of stopping on a lower rung of
Jacobs ladder: Abandon all reason and
critical thinking. This is imperative. You
cannot become a good seeker if you
question the holy book you follow with
reason or skepticism. Smile a lot to everyone
you see. Say you love them even when you
hate their guts. You must pretend, at all
costs, to love your worst enemies even if it
kills them in the end. Attempt to convert your
unbelieving friends. Make an ass out of
yourself to the point of getting them angry. Make sure you always keep smiling and tell
them how much you love them. This will escalate their anger and leave you fully
satisfied. If they persist, claim that they are in league with the Devil and only faith in
Jesus can release them (make sure you keep smiling).!

Communication is the problem and the answer. Communicate with your self until you get feedback from your higher
self. The ‘real you’ is hidden in plain sight within that which holds the secrets of life - the open heart! Swimming
upstream your whole life bumping in to the negative ‘flotsam’ of blocks from the past without finding ways of detaching
from them is akin to a slow suicide. Choose whatever brings inner freedom and love!!
