Balancing Your Spiritual and Material Worlds

by Francisco Coll

Dr. Francisco Coll was one of the world’s foremost spiritual leaders. Dr. Coll had been active in the field of spiritual research for more than 35 years.

Today the name Francisco Coll is well known throughout the world to be synonymous with spiritual growth, high standards and the theme, “If you give a hungry man a fish today, he will only be hungry again tomorrow. If you teach a man how to fish, he will have the freedom to use his own resources.”

Involved in the field of human development as well as in spiritual research, Dr. Coll has founded the Americana Leadership College (currently Wayshowers College) and its highly refined and unique departments of study.

Read One of these meditations each day for thirty days and you will discover new insights to make your life more contented, fulfilled and balanced.

Laws of the Universe

Meditation 1

Modern civilization of the West, built on the foundation of the search for human happiness, not only has definitely increased material enjoyment to no small degree, but can also definitely satisfy the spiritual demands of mankind.

Hu Shib

As a true searcher, you are concerned about your spiritual life. You are on planet earth to learn to balance your spiritual world with the ticky-tacky boxes of the physical world.

You do not have to let go of anything you are doing or give up anything you want to do to continue your search.

All you have to do is take a little more time for yourself. Use this extra time to match your physical world experiences with your spiritual reasons for coming to planet earth.

Laws of the Universe

Meditation 2

In a dark time, the eye begins to see.

Theodore Roethke

Have you ever wondered why most religions say that suffering is really healthy? All that means is that a little pressure is healthy when it kicks us out of the nest so we can grow. It does not mean that life has to be painful.

For example, as a soul you move in cycles of seven years. Every seven years you need to renew all your spiritual concepts. If you do not, you will feel pressure.

The pressure is simply a warning signal that you need to be doing something differently. If you ignore the warning, the symptoms will show up in your physical body as illnesses. They will become more and more severe until they attract your attention.

Laws of the Universe

Meditation 3

The superior man acts before he speaks, and afterwards speaks according to his actions.

Confucius

Your desire to act comes back from your feeling part. Your feelings tell your intellect where you want to go and what you want to do.

Your intellectual nature then organizes the facts that are needed to accomplish your goal. Your intellect also communicates your intentions to the rest of the world.

The conscious intellect uses your intelligence, judgment, experience and reason in its role as your public relations specialist. Your unconscious feeling part is concerned about survival and meeting your wants and needs.

When you are in balance, each part is doing its job and not trying to take over your entire life. Then you accept your instinctual needs and act confidently with inner direction.

Laws of the Universe

Meditation 4

Be quite still and solitary. The world will freely offer itself to you to be unmasked. It has not choice; it will roll in ecstasy at your feet.

Franz Katka

Planet earth was created as a school for souls by living and working with other souls at all levels of consciousness. Spirit intended the school to be a pleasant, positive experience.

To learn your lessons, you need to tune into your true feelings. If you cannot match each idea you have with one of your feelings, you will distrust yourself and the people around you. This is a symptom that you are afraid to look within yourself.

To tune into your true feelings, you need to relax. The key to relaxing is learning to respect yourself. Once you are relaxed, you will be able to be patient with yourself and start to understand what you have inside.

Your Relations with Others

Meditation 5

Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

George Smith Patton

When you set goals for yourself, there are certain steps which must be taken in the physical world to reach your goal. If you try to do everything yourself, it not only takes longer, but deprives you of the opportunity of being involved with others.

No one likes to be told what to do because it deprives them of their chance to be creative. Instead, share the steps you need done, when you need to have them done and how they fit into the bigger picture. Then others can use their creativity to accomplish these steps.

Motivating others to work with you then takes care of itself. You are offering them the opportunity to accomplish a specific objective rather than dictating to them a job which you need done.

Your Relations with Others

Meditation 6

So long as a man rides his hobby horse peaceably and quietly along the king’s highway and neither compels you or me to get behind him, pray, sir, what have either you or I to do with it?

Laurence Sterne

This quotation is just another way of saying, “Mind your own business.” There are two basic reasons why minding your own business is helpful for your spiritual growth.

First, the person may be doing exactly what he or she wants to do, even though it isn’t what you think they should be doing. As long as that person is not invading your boundaries, you need to respect them and accept them for what they are, even if they are riding a hobbyhorse down the sidewalk.

Second, each soul has come to learn certain lessons for themselves. If you interfere with their learning, they will just have to recreate the same situation to learn them.

Your Relations with Others

Meditation 7

Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee; rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.

Proverbs 9:8

Your feeling nature is the beliefs which provide a skeleton for your spiritual world. Your intellectual theories provide a skeleton for your physical world.

Guilt is based on the premise that your feelings have done something wrong. You first have an underlying doubt which stimulates your intellect into guilt. This leads to an anxious concern about being judged by others.

The scorner cannot distinguish between their feeling and their intellect, so they feel guilty, judge themselves and ends up hating the person who reproves them.

The wise person is comfortable in their feeling part. They can discern another’s opinion of them by whether it will help them grow spiritually. Since they accept and love themselves where they are, they have no reason to judge either themselves or others.

Controlling Your Energy

Meditation 8

I accept the universe.

Margaret Fuller

You cannot separate yourself from the universe whether you like it or not. You might as well claim it!

Some of us find it hard to claim our lives because we do not feel free to move wherever we want to.

We need to remember that each person came to planet earth alone to learn about themselves. No one came to be responsible for other souls.

When you leave your physical body, you will do it by yourself. That’s a universal law. Since there is nothing you can do to change it, you might as well accept it.

Controlling Your Energy

Meditation 9

The time to be happy is now. The place to be happy is here.

Robert Green Ingersoll

You must create your own happiness. No one else can do it for you.

One way to describe happiness is balance. When you balance your physical and spiritual lives, you find inner security. You can do this by relaxing until you feel an inner desire to help yourself.

Then, you can begin to examine and understand your inner sense of values – what is right for you. You no longer need to feel guilty about not pleasing others or permit outside energies to change your mind.

The time to start is now. You can be as happy as soon as you want to. You need only decide and act.

Controlling Your Energy

Meditation 10

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent.

Anna Eleanor Roosevelt

No one can make you feel any way without your consent. You decide how you react to others.

How do you stop yourself from picking up negative thoughts? Relaxing is your best protection. The moment you react to someone by becoming upset, take a deep breath and relax. Relaxing is your buffer to help you be in control of the situation.

Emphasize the positive, and the negative will disappear. You may have the bad habit of always talking about negative things. Instead, if something worries you, why not do something about it? If you cannot do anything about it, then get involved with something else. Whatever you do, don’t worry. Worry creates negative energy and is a sure way to make things worse.

Controlling Your Energy

Meditation 11

One would grow poor staying one place always.

Poem of Cid

The more you understand yourself, the more you respect yourself and the more you value your time. When you value yourself and your time, you leave a situation in which things do not seem to work – just as birds leave a feeding area when the food is gone, or they sense danger.

That is the law of the universe and part of a pattern. That pattern exists and is part of the understanding you need, to keep your self-respect.

The only claim you have while you live here on earth is your claim on your time. That is all.

Using Your Time Wisely

Meditation 12

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

Kahil Gibran

One of your spiritual needs is to pass on your wisdom. If you do not, you will become spiritually constipated and unable to learn new lessons.

It is important to recheck that you are passing on your wisdom in such a way that your listener can understand. Otherwise, you might be trying to save them which will cause more harm than good.

The one who truly helps you meet your needs is the person who sees the need that you have and the needs you are going to have. They then share these needs with you for your own benefit. Should you decide you do not want to listen, they will leave you alone and permit you to make your own mistakes.

Using Your Time Wisely

Meditation 13

Without haste, but without rest.

Johann W. Von Goethe

You have nothing but time, but you have no time to waste.

The secret of being patiently impatient is to be conscious that you really want to help yourself. Then you can bide your time and help yourself as you go.

Once you capture something within your state of consciousness, you never lose it. You may forget it temporarily, but you can always go back to that vibration because it is part of your personal bank of experiences. When you relearn it, you realize that it was already yours.

Using Your Time Wisely

Meditation 14

Resolved never to do anything which I should be afraid to do if it were the last hour of my life.

Jonathan Edwards

Your religious morality is helpful because it gives you boundaries so you can live in society. Like traffic lights, these boundaries keep people from running into each other.

When you pass on, these boundaries will not mean anything. Your state of consciousness will be all that matters.

Try asking yourself if you would like to be involved in a specific opportunity if this were your last day on earth.

This is an easy way to help you discern your true feelings. It also can help you distinguish your personal wants and needs from those programmed into you during your first seven years.

Using Your Time Wisely

Meditation 15

The flow of the river is ceaseless and its water is never the same. The bubbles that float in the pools, now vanishing, now forming, are not of long duration: so in the world of man and his dwellings.

Kamo No Chomei

Nothing on this earth is consistent, except change. You learn from the changing flow of events.

Time is all that we have here on planet earth. What do you want to do with it? What do you want for yourself? How do you want to use this planet while you are here?

As you learn from your experiences, you add to your wisdom. What do you want to do with that wisdom? One of the things you have to start finding out is what you want to do with your life so you do not waste your time on planet earth.

Your True Identity

Meditation 16

The body of Benjamin Franklin, Printer … lies here, food for worms; but the work shall not be lost, for it will … appear once more in a new and more elegant edition, revised and corrected by the author.

Benjamin Franklin

As a soul you have in your hands the power to persuade yourself to be whatever you desire.

When you pass on, you spend some time with your guardian angels reviewing the experiences of this lifetime and integrating them with experiences from other lifetimes.

After detachedly reviewing all your experiences, you may decide to return to planet earth. Then, you will set some new goals and select two parents to give birth to your new body.

Your True Identity

Meditation 17

Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.

Soren Kierkegaard

You can spend a lot of time sitting on the fence not knowing what to do next, if you insist on understanding every detail before you take action.

It is important to trust your feelings while looking at each experience as another item for your file of experiences. When you have had enough different experiences for the understanding of a concept, your guardian angels will bring you the understanding. It is a matter of trust.

On the other hand, if you only have an intellectual understanding without a feeling to go with it, you might become an escapist. You could become overly interested in setting up systems because this gives you a feeling of control over situations.

No system by itself can give you the sense of security that you get from recognizing your true feelings and acting upon them.

Your True Identity

Meditation 18

Fortunate, indeed, is the man who takes exactly the right measure of himself, and holds a just balance between what he can acquire and what he can use, be it great or be it small!

Peter Mere Latham

An opportunist is someone who cannot stop acquiring things, people, admiration or respect. They always want more time: more material things, more power, more anything outside of themselves.

An opportunist always sees their personal interest in every situation. They then take advantage of the situation for their own gain.

If you find you are avoiding fellowship and teamwork, perhaps you need to ask yourself if you are too busy competing with yourself.

Anyone who is competing with themselves is an opportunist. They are not looking for opportunities. It is very difficult for this person to remember that they set up their own situation.

Your True Identity

Meditation 19

I want nothing to do with any order, religious or otherwise, which does not teach people that they are capable of becoming happier on this earth, capable of becoming true man, master of his fate and captain of his soul.

Jowahial Nehru

You are what you think. As you think, you create. Your troubles come because you do not realize that you are the creator.

You created everything that has happened or will happen to you. When you keep thinking positive ideas, you will receive help to make them more positive. As with negative energy, positive energy attracts someone to use it and give it form.

When you realize this, you can command your own being all the time.

You control your own personal situation by knowing where you are going and what you need to get there. Anything else is fantasy or fairy tale.

Creating Your World

Meditation 20

Four things come not back: the spoken word; the sped arrow; time past; the neglected opportunity.

Omar Ibn Al-Halif

Do you have enough time to do everything except take time for yourself? If you want to grow spiritually, you need to discipline yourself to take time for yourself.

You do not have to spend 24 hours a day. Just take fifteen minutes or a half-hour a day for your spiritual life as you would invest in your house or the stock market.

When you snap that silver cord, you go out to the state of consciousness you have developed while you were on planet earth. You don’t take your house or your stocks with you. Your main opportunity on planet earth is to expand your state of consciousness.

Creating Your World

Meditation 21

Let knowledge grow from more to more,

But more of reverence in us dwell;

That mind and soul, according well,

May make one music as before.

Alfred Lord Tennyson

You need both your intellectual and feeling parts to function on planet earth. If you begin to allow your intellect to set your direction, your pride will surely set you up for a fall.

If you think of yourself as an adult who has finished maturing, you may not want to get too involved with anything new. When you do get involved, your pride will want to direct everyone and everything. Your pride will end up making you a usable instrument in need of a friend.

You will avoid these situations as long as you see yourself as a soul in a physical body. Then you can use your feeling part to set your direction and your intellect to organize and communication for you.

Creating Your World

Meditation 22

Only in a hut built for the moment can one live without fears.

Kamo No Chomei

As long as you are conscious of owning something, you have created the possibility of losing it. The moment you create the fear of losing, someone can crank you up. That fear can become so great that it becomes a mass of energy going no place. Sooner or later, that energy will attract someone to take advantage of it and give it form.

Possessions can become like a security blanket, taking the place of self-respect. Then, you wonder why you always feel uneasy.

The key is to realize that all material things are a means to an end – to help you learn about yourself. You are just renting them for your convenience while you are in a physical body.

Creating Your World

Meditation 23

Bodily exercise, when compulsory, does no harm to the body; but knowledge which is acquired under compulsion obtains no hold on the mind.

Plato

Your intellect scans all the systems of the physical world: physics, mathematics, psychology – all the academic fields. You can push your intellect to learn these systems as fast as you can.

Spiritually, however, you cannot learn any faster than your own inner timing. Each soul has set its own timing.

Your intellect absorbs a mass of details and systems, accepting, analyzing and dissecting the information. Your true feelings will simply ignore the information until the time is right. Then one day, when you will have a new experience, your feeling part will ask your intellect to give you the information you need to understand your experience.

Living Your Creativity

Meditation 24

My happiness was the unhappiness of a person who could not say no.

Dazau Osamu

Most people have been taught by society that it is not good to be an individual and that to be accepted, they must obey and go along with everything.

Since you are energy, you leave a little of your energy in each place you go. Life is great so long as you are in command of your energy. You are the one who needs to decide what activities you want or need to be involved in. If you do not decide, there is always someone who will decide for you by asking you to do something else.

Living Your Creativity

Meditation 25

Independence? That’s middle-class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.

George Bernard Shaw

No one can survive here on planet earth alone. Without communication with others, we cannot grow.

If you ever want to get anywhere in your spiritual life, you must be involved. When you are involved, you have experiences. While you are experiencing, you must communicate. If you do not communicate, there is no wisdom and no growth.

You automatically limit your growth and your impact if you work alone. Your time and energy are limited. However, if you join others, you can do greater things.

Living Your Creativity

Meditation 26

It is circumstance and proper timing that give an action its character and make it either good or bad.

Agesilaus

There can be many reasons why things happen the way they do. We react to things according to our state of consciousness. That is why you can go back to a favorite place after several years have passed and it won’t seem the same, although it still looks the same.

Other happenings are the result of timing. For instance, you may tell your spouse at one time that he or she is gaining weight and receive a pleasant “thank you” in response; at another time, he or she may sulk and complain that you have fallen out of love.

The principles of timing apply to all your words and actions. What works one time may not work another time. What is successful for one person may not be successful for another. It is wise to check if your words and actions are appropriate to both the time and place.

Living Your Creativity

Meditation 27

Talkers are not good doers.

Shakespeare

Your intellect is nothing more than organized feelings. Its purpose is to help you organize yourself to accomplish your goals instead of talking about them.

You make a decision by receiving a feeling, sending it to the intellect to be discerned and then to the ego for a decision. Once you make your decision, your feelings can take action upon it.

Talkers spend more time wishing things would happen rather than making them happen. As a result, they project a wishy-washy vibration to everybody they meet.

Anytime you don’t have direction in your feeling part, you become wishy-washy. Your emotions are in conflict with your true feelings and you are unable to discern which is which.

Being Your Unique Self

Meditation 28

Her smile was not meant to be seen by anyone and served its whole purpose in being smiled.

Rainer Maria Rike

Have you wondered how you can put yourself first without being selfish? The key is to give without expecting anything in return – to give for the pure joy of giving.

One of the ground rules of life is that you can claim your life and your rights. One of your rights is to choose to be happy. The spiritual reality is that no one can give you anything and no one can take anything from you. You choose your own happiness.

You can obtain anything you want by organizing yourself to get it, but no one can do it for you. If you choose to manipulate others to do it for you, you will attract others to manipulate you.

Being Your Unique Self

Meditation 29

It’s better to know some of the questions than all of the answers.

James Thurber

As science expands its body of knowledge, the pace of change is becoming more rapid. As specializations increase, it becomes more and more difficult to keep up with changing facts.

In such a world, trying to know all of the facts all of the time is not only impossible, but can lead to inflexibility. Similar events call for different reactions from you and the other participants according to what you want to learn.

You can deal successfully with any situation because of your uniqueness. This enables you to stand back from the event to enlarge or change the picture.

You can ask yourself questions about your spiritual involvement such as, “What concept do I have that attracted this person or this situation?” or, “What am I getting out of it.”

Being Your Unique Self

Meditation 30

The soul takes nothing with her to the other world but her education and culture; and these, it is said, are of the greatest service or of the greatest injury to the dead man, at the very beginning of his journey thither…

Plato

Your power and material security will not help you after you leave planet earth. True sincerity with yourself is what helps you when you go out to your level of consciousness.

If you have the desire to see yourself as you really are – and still feel secure without feelings of guilt, that is security! That is what is going to happen the minute you snap the silver cord. You are starting to be you and to accept yourself because you are you.

About the Founders

Dr. Francisco Coll

Dr. Francisco Coll was one of the world’s foremost spiritual leaders. Dr. Coll was active in the field of spiritual research which began in 1941 till his passing in December 1999. Today the name Francisco Coll is well known throughout the world to be synonymous with spiritual growth, high standards, and the theme, “If you give someone who is hungry a fish today, they will only be hungry again tomorrow. If you teach that person how to fish, they will have the freedom to use their own resources for the rest of their life.”

Dr. Coll was deeply involved in the field of human development as well as in spiritual research. His life exemplified leadership by example as a “way-shower” to others. His life thrust with people was to “give opportunity.”

Dr. Maria A. Coll

At an early age Maria wanted to travel and be a part of significant change in the world. A free thinker and spirit, she recognized the need for people to have freedom, while still maintaining their self-respect and integrity.

Maria received a degree in Psychology from the University of Minnesota in 1961 and through a series of angelic events she found herself in Puerto Rico, where she met Francisco. After a profound experience working with one of Francisco’s techniques, she realized she had higher guidance that provided insights that were accurate and dependable. She became a firm believer in these abilities and gifts.

This started their team adventure of traveling throughout the United States and the world, sharing lectures and techniques. Maria was instrumental in making spiritual concepts a practical way of life and organized them into a system that could be passed on to others.

Until her passing in 2015, Maria continued to work with her Higher Guidance to expand her own state of consciousness and work with those around her. Her life thrust was “Move Beyond, Be Free, Trust and Be Natural.” She lived this with positive passion, strong work ethic and a great love for people.

Together they founded many educational and spiritual movements, including the Americana Leadership College®, Inner Peace Movement®, Peace Community Church®, Astro Soul®, and Profound Mystical Meditation®.

Quotes and Phrases the Founders enjoyed sharing —
