Ponder this!!!

To think that we can direct our lives misses the essence of who we are..........by directing our lives, by definition does not allow for the life, the universal wisdom, universal creativity......who we are to manifest. By thinking we can direct our lives to gain success or happiness works to alleviate the universe embracing us and allowing our realities that will serve us best to manifest. Taking charge of our life, taking charge of a situation is what our culture, our economy, our government are dependent upon and expect. We react to life's circumstances and situations...........unwittingly, we believe that by taking charge and acting by design, that is how the best result will come about. The problem is that our "acting by design" is derived from our conditioning by society. "Should's and should not's" are based upon reacting to life's circumstances in a minimalist approach. Minimalist from the standpoint that we don't fully understand our own human nature, which for most people has not emerged as of yet.

Society professes "Be yourself within the prescribed assumption (society's belief) to become successful"..............which in itself is a contradiction. Success is different for everyone, you don't become successful, you are successful, that is the human nature that has yet to emerge for most people. If you believe you are one with the universe, and you align with the universe, life itself, you are success. When you believe that "hard work" or "acting by design" or "taking charge" contribute to your success, you have eliminated the opportunity for life to embrace you........you are not allowing you to embrace yourself. You are not YOU, you are what you think you should be based upon some prescribed belief.

By necessity, if you are in control of your life and acting by design and applying a strong work ethic........you have likely removed the opportunity for being embraced.........writers block is a perfect example. When writers are at their best, they release themselves to the universal wisdom and creativity that each of us has within ourselves. They release their talents..........they release the essence of who they are and who they are is manifested. What is manifested has always existed, it has always been real....(it's human nature).....it has been waiting for the individual to allow it to embrace them in the physical world. Writers block is really the universal wisdom and creativity being blocked by the need (incessant thought patterns) or want to create something............and the more time that goes by in the "block", the more the need grows, and on and on.

Releasing your talents is really allowing yourself to be embraced by what you naturally have the potential to be. The challenge is not realizing that by letting go, you become YOU. The challenge is overcoming the belief that letting go is irresponsible. Letting go does not mean you are not responsible in the meaning of achievement or that you become complacent...........its actually the opposite. By truly letting go and being YOU unimpeded by the should and should not's, you can't help but be responsible and anything but complacent..........that's when things happen. You don't need to know what you will do in certain situations, you do the right thing. You don't need to know what possible problems may arise, in the unlikely event that they do arise, you will know the best resolution.........you have access to the wisdom and knowledge and power that is you, that is the universe, that is life............that is when life gets really FUN!!!

Do you know exactly what you are at liberty to do, be or have?

I mean with without question or reservation, have you ever asked yourself that question let alone answered it?  The key word in the question is "Liberty"......Liberty identifies the condition in which an individual has the ability to act according to his or her own will.   Now, we all have the ability to act according to our own will.......but how often during the day do we?  Considering the fact that every moment is an opportunity to choose our actions, that can be a daunting task.  

Think about it, if you are only processing one billionth of the stimuli available to you in a given moment, and you are, and the determining factor of which one billionth you actually process out of the infinite amount of stimuli available to you is based upon your beliefs......you process that which supports what you already believe, and your beliefs are based upon your perceptions of past experience and knowledge learned, which could be wrong........what are the chances that you are acting according to your will?   I'm going to go out on a limb here and say, you likely have better chances in Las Vegas.........but hey, people win huge jackpots every year!!!

Okay, but there is really good news!!!  First, lets talk about will......I'm not talking about will power, or even free will......most people's notion of will is associated with dedication, or intestinal fortitude, or even motivation..........but if your operating from beliefs that may be wrong and are further supported by your interpretation of your every experience, that deliberate dedication, or motivation is being directed to efforts that are not necessarily congruent with your heart or soul.........which is why it is so important to know your self.  

If you do not go within, you go without!!!

Your heart is where your truth is and what I like to refer to as Divine Will.....the will that is aligned with your soul, and source......not contrived based upon external circumstances.......its where inspiration comes from, intuition as well............but not motivation.  Motivation is derived from reacting to external circumstances.........inspiration is never reactive, it is always proactive and your actions are easy and efficient when coming from inspiration.......actions from motivation are rarely easy and efficient.......that's why you hear phrases like "he is so motivated, look how hard he is working".

Inspiration comes from the heart based on unity and wholeness.......there is no greater power for us in the physical than the higher consciousness of the heart's knowing.  So how do we tap into this innate power more frequently.........well, stop doing and start spending more time being.  And what is doing?  The vast majority of the time its reacting based upon external circumstances.

For instance, a mother is getting ready for her day, which includes getting her four year old up, dressed, fed breakfast, and ready to go to pre-school.  Normally the four year old is pretty good and goes with the flow, and obviously this makes the mother feel good.  Occasionally, the four year old is just not cooperative and fights the mother's direction for him to be ready.  It just seems that everything the mother wants the child to do, he wants nothing to do with......so the mothers natural reaction is frustration and perhaps a degree of stress.......who knows, but its not a good feeling for either the mother or the child and pretty soon the mother and the child are reacting to the other's actions.......and not in the most positive way.  To some degree we have all been in a similar situation, maybe even in both the child's and mother's role.

What would happen if the mother, had the inspiration, or more accurately tuned into the innate inspiration within her heart and went with it?  Rather than reacting, she chose to be proactive following her inspiration, and stopped what she was doing and saying, and showered the four year old with her love.  Just moved her feelings from frustration to the pure Love that she is, and began emanating her Love to her child.  

Okay, a number of things are taking place, one, she is taking the liberty to "be" what her essence is, pure positive Love.  She is living proactively rather than reactively.......which is not only much more natural, but much more effective in feeling life.  But, how difficult do you think it will be for the child to be in the presence of his mother's pure Love and continue to struggle and resist her?  One, she has stopped making requests of him.....she is just being her essence, pure Love, and two from a vibrational resonance standpoint, it is just going to get really weird for him to be frustrated and acting out in proximity to her Love.  He will either run out of the room or just drop his ill feelings and walk or run to be close to her.

What kind of day do you think the Mother and child will have after spending time in presence? Presence being the essence of who we are, pure positive Love demonstrated proactively experienced through inspiration.  Yeah, pretty freaking great!!!  Who knows what other inspiration she and the child might experience.

Be at liberty to be, do or have all that you are inspired to be, do or have.  Be proactive in interpreting your every moment as an opportunity for you to recreate yourself in the greatest version of yourself you have yet to even imagine..........Surprise yourself with just how good it can be, the possibilities are endless.........you know that, right?

What's the vibrational essence of your thoughts?

You develop patterns of thought which cause you to offer patterns of vibration, which equal what you are living. What manifests is always an accurate reflection of the thoughts that you’ve been thinking. And so, hopefully you see how beneficial it is to think in terms of the vibrational essence of the thought that you are thinking.

If you are focused upon the absence of Well-Being in some area of your life, and you focus your attention on that, at some point you develop a vibrational essence; it’s where your thoughts easily go; it’s where your conversations easily turn; it’s just the way you feel about this or about that….…those practiced, conscious or unconscious, vibrations, then become your point of attraction. And what you’re getting matches that perfectly, every single time.

Your emotions are exact indicators that let you know what your vibrational resonance is. And your emotions feel the way they do because of two important vibrational factors: The factor of desire, which is the summoning power. And the factor of allowing— which is the letting, or the not letting what you’ve summoned to flow. So, the two factors that your emotions are always letting you know are: how focused the Energy is by virtue of your desire, and how your normal thoughts around the subject resonate or don’t resonate with that desire. Easier way to say it is, “what’s my attitude or what’s my mood about such-and-such?

For instance, “When I think about my body, do I love it? Am I grateful? Does it annoy me? Does it embarrass me? Do I praise it? Do I condemn it? Do I adore it? Do I compliment it? Do I criticize it?” In other words, what kinds of things do you say about your body?

When you think about money, do you feel joyful? Does the idea of money make you feel free? Do you feel eager and enthusiastic about money? Do you feel afraid when you think about money? Are you angry about money? Are you embarrassed about money? Do you dread even thinking about it? Are you worried about it, eager about it, happy about it? Notice the question was how you “Feel about Money”, not how you feel when you have it or don’t have it.  

If your like most people, what's most important is the feelings you associate with Money.  It’s not about having or not having something, it’s about the feeling you have about the notion of the thing, the energy of the thing.  Having it is the residual effect of having a feeling that is resonant with the thing.....(remember those people that always ask me "where's my stuff?....what is that thought resonant with?....yep, not having their stuff)....in other words, if you have positive feelings about the notion of money, your vibration is one of allowing, and more money will come to you...........and for God's sake, don't even think about how its going to come to you.......that's not a good place to be vibrationally for more money to come into your experience.  This is usually where some people say, "So if I just feel good, money will fall into my lap"?......In short, by being in a good place, having a good vibe going, essentially being in an allowing stance, your actions will then be inspired, and are congruent with recognizing a good opportunity, or any number of infinite possibilities for more money to come into your experience. 

When you think about the overall economy, are you grateful for the economy? Do you love it when someone else is abundant and prosperous? Are you jealous when someone is thriving? Do you feel happy for a friend that is succeeding? Do you feel unhappy about your not succeeding when you see your friends succeeding? Do you blame the government? Do you blame your job or the work you do? How do you feel?

You know that there are people that are hugely successful in the worst of times just like there are people that fail at everything in the best of times. Why? It’s how they feel about success or their potential, or their focus on the lack of whatever and the feeling associated with that lack.

All day, every day, you have opinions and attitudes. Most of them you didn’t even figure out on your own. You hung around or listened to somebody else who hung around or listened to somebody else who hung around or listened to somebody else… And often, you’ve developed an attitude or belief, a belief about money, a belief about relationships, a belief about your body, a belief about your job............a belief about what makes you happy, or what needs to take place in order for you to be happy.........and so how are those beliefs working for you?

If you are not sure what your vibrational essence is, that’s understandable because most people do not notice the emotional correlation between thoughts that just feel normal. In other words, you want to do what’s socially acceptable, so that you don't feel like an outcast. And you want to do what’s politically correct, because you don't want to be an outcast. And you want to do what your family expects of you, because you don’t want to let them down, and some people do what their religion says, because they don’t want to be disavowed or go to hell. So essentially, your concern is adapting in order to fit in, or in order to “not” be what “you don’t want”.

Most people, including you have been using standards or measures of success that are outside of them and that have no supportive basis for what they want. These norms, if you thought about it from an attraction standpoint, would have nothing to do with you determining your thoughts or opinions or attitudes, let alone your actions.........but you let them. So as this is taking place, what has happened is, you have developed an array (a quagmire really) of beliefs, some of which serve you and some that don't. But, most people feel powerless in what comes to them because they’ve been emanating this vibration (through their thoughts) and emanating that vibration, and emanating that vibration, and attracting more thoughts and beliefs of like vibration. Then, low and behold based upon attraction, they see evidence to support those same thoughts and beliefs. And so now, they find themselves wallowing in a bunch of beliefs that are not serving them.

Self fulfilling prophecy? Okay, or Universal Law, very exact, never wavering, always 100% accurate........Law of Attraction. How many times have you heard something like this...."They warned me about that, and sure enough, it happened.” Well, this is not a warning, this is the way it is: What anyone is living, our culture, our environment, our society, our city, our family, yourself, what anybody is living, the truth, or the evidence that you are producing is only the truth that manifests in response to the habit of thought and vibration that you put forth.

So, say you decided to join the "fight against Drugs", what is the truth in the fight?, where are you giving your energy? War on Terrorism? Okay, how is that working out? Noble and well intentioned as it appears, "The Race to find a Cure for Cancer" might work better if we just focused on well being and less on stress and chaos…….cancer would just not exist. All of these efforts are like saying, “There’s something out there that I do not want, but because somebody else created it in their experience and it became their truth, now I feel obligated to beat the drum of it, and make it my truth, too.” Fortunately, there are a variety of truths for you to pick from.

Fortunately, you are the creator of your own truth. No one can write a book, or start a movement, or organize a religion, or say, “These are the things that are important for you to do, and these are the things that you must not do,” and you have to believe it or buy into it, unless you choose to...........which so many of us do. You get to choose all of it. So use the Guidance System that is within you. How you feel about it and if does not feel good............For goodness sake, re-create yourself to the greatest version of yourself you have yet to imagine.

Beliefs that support your desires.....

Why not be deliberate about them.  I mean very deliberate.  Take for instance as an example a goal of having a physically fit and attractive body by August 30, 2008.......the first belief I would test is "I am capable of attaining a physically fit and attractive body by Aug. 30", and guess what, most people at the subconscious level do not believe that statement.  If they did, they would already have it.........Your sub-conscious beliefs are your operating system that your actions are derived from.  

The next belief I would test is "I am in control of my body and myself", then "I create through my thoughts and feelings", then "My body is a sea of infinite possibilities", then "My body is efficient and effective at processing nutrition to be strong and fit".  What about this one?  "I Love my body and that I created it exactly the way it is"......

And if any of those beliefs were not congruent with your subconscious mind, I would rewrite them.......why?   Think about it, How do you think your body would respond to having the following hard wired into your subconscious (operating system).
1.  I am capable of attaining a physically fit and attractive body by Aug. 30.
2.  I am in control of my body and myself.
3.  I create through my thoughts and feelings.
4.  My body is a sea of infinite possibilities.
5.  my body is efficient and effective at processing nutrition to be strong and fit.
6.  I love my body.

So you are just operating from those beliefs, how would you feel?  Empowered?, Confident?, Connected?, Tapped in?, Sexy?, Physically fit?, Attractive?, Loved?.......Ahh, yeah, I think so!!!

Your body is the way it is right now, as a result of how you feel........if you don't like your butt (a common one for women) where is your attention?  And how does that feel?  And what does that create?  More of the butt you don't like.  Make no mistake, your body is exactly the way you are creating it........deliberately or haphazardly........so which is it?  

Well, maybe we should get back to what you believe.  Do you believe you create your physical appearance with your thoughts and feelings?  Do you believe you can have the body you want if you workout on a regular basis and eat the right foods?....or that as you age, its just that much harder to stay in shape?.....that one alone is so dis-empowering, let alone self fulfilling.....but how many people do you know that buy into that one......well look around, people get old looking because they see people get old looking as they age......Hello!!!......Or do you believe that your perceptions, thoughts from those perceptions and feelings from those thoughts create everything in your environment........if your like 99.99% of all people, you are operating from a belief of materialism, that things are as they are and your just along for the ride, like getting old..........I'm not talking about the momentary realization that your thoughts can affect your experience, I'm talking about a knowing, like you know the sun will come up in the morning, that your thoughts can and do create every aspect of your experience............Be the change that you want.

Wow, July 1st

Hard to believe its been a full month since my last entry.....obviously been busy, and to be honest not all that deliberate in my thoughts and feelings.......conditioned thinking strikes again.  But just another opportunity for me to re-create myself in the best version of myself that I yet to experience.......ain't life grand!!!!
