Out of the Chaos, Into the Calm Finding your way back Home The Truth of You has no worries. None. Your Soul knows that truth. All the worry and the fret is a byproduct of your mind/ego. We live in a world of constant change. And the rate of that change seems to be accelerating. How do we navigate so much change? Where is the “known” within all this change that we can hang our hats on? You can rest assured that you “make it.” You make it through all of your struggles and challenges. You, the BIG You, does make it all the way “back home.” The little you, your mind/ego, is changing every day. You will be a different person by the end of this day. Perhaps you are in the struggle(s) and challenge(s) of life right now. Wanting to get past it all. Wanting to make it…
It gets easier, once you start doing the work. Coming out of the Dark. What’s this “Dark” I speak of? It’s your karma. Karma, as a human experience, is not personal. At all. All of your suffering and challenges are not personal. There are billions of people going through the same types of experiences. Sure, yours are unique because your own karmic accumulation is unique. Impersonal and yet unique. Karma itself is pretty cool. I would even say karma is graceful and elegant, in that whatever you reject or posture with, is stored in your subconscious. Like a running total of sorts. What is actually your karma, was decided by … you. Maybe not consciously in the moment. But it was you that determined what your karmic composition would be. Just as I, as a child, instilled an avoidance behavior of feeling my anger. Everything I was avoiding was pushed,…
Yes, You can. No, You can’t. You decide it all. There is a long game of sorts. Where what is happening on any particular day doesn’t matter much. Sure, you can completely transform your life in a single day. That’s not what I am talking about. I guess you could call it a momentum of sorts. A karmic momentum. This is where we are experiencing a fairly consistent life, day in and day out. When we think about the “quantum” mirror, where the universe is just reflecting ourselves back to us, it can seem like nothing is changing much. I mean, if you stand in front of a mirror, your reflection “mirrors” you. If you don’t change, your reflection doesn’t change either. If we want to experience a different kind of life, it would serve us well to change who we are, energetically. Many spiritual teachers use affirmations and vision…
If Your Consciousness were your Currency How would you be spending it? Your Consciousness IS your currency. At least in the creation process. It is done unto You as You believe. Thoughts create. This is a fundamental law of the human experience. How mindful are you about your thoughts? And your subconscious thoughts? What would you say your subconscious thoughts are creating in your life today? Until they aren’t, your subconscious thoughts are typically the lion’s share of your karmic momentum. If you can’t. If you can’t … hold down a job, relationship or any other type of commitment, you might have powerful subconscious programming influencing your life. When someone has a repetitive outcome … that’s the telltale sign of karmic imprinting. That’s the sign of subconscious karmic momentum. “All my husbands have cheated on me.” “You can’t trust anybody.” “Life is always putting me in my place.” “I can never…
What to do about your Karma Got Karma? Is your karma “out to get you?” Does your karma have a motive or agenda? Is your karma trying to snare you? Like gravity, your karma is an impersonal experience. I know you might think that your karma is a very personal thing. But the mechanics, how your karma operates, is very impersonal. You are experiencing your karma in a personal way. But how you experience your karma is not fixed. You can change your relationship or experience of your karma in an instant. I have been “scrubbing my psyche” for over 30 years now. What am I doing when I do that? Scrub my psyche? I go looking for energy (karma) within me that has not been released. As I have shared before, I did have an immense amount of energy within me, that I was not aware of at all.…
Right Here. Right Now. It is You. I know it sounds simple but You is where it all happens … for You. Whether you are experiencing Heaven or Hell, it is through the “vehicle” of you that ALL of your experiences happen. To become more mindful of that can help you steer your life. What are you feeling … now? And why are you feeling what you are feeling? When we avoid feeling some of the not-so-pleasant feelings, we are setting ourselves up for more discomfort later. Let’s break that down a bit deeper. When you feel feelings you don’t prefer, what you do then is setting up your future relationship with that feeling. To avoid some aspects of your feelings is how you add karma to your own psyche. Whatever you push down, as far as your own feelings, you are saving for later. Not only that, but you…
Avoiding Your Emotions Intensifies Them What you resist, become a lesson Got Karma? Perhaps that is too simple a question. How about … What does your karma look like? What kind(s) of karma do you have? What kind(s) of your karma are you not consciously aware of? How is your karma showing up in your day-to-day life? What would your life look like, if you healed the majority of your karma? Is your karma personal? There are very subtle aspects to karma that can keep you stuck for a very long time. Decades. Even lifetimes. I love it when the subtle can show itself. Road rage. Right? I mean, you could meet someone, who is known by others to be a classic example of someone who has road rage often, but when you meet them, they are charming and docile. Like a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. When they, the…
Up is Easier. Down is Harder. Which way are you headed? When we take on karma, we are “Going Down.” Not in value or worth. But in, perhaps, difficulties in our life. Perhaps you can imagine a war vet, loaded with PTSD, panhandling at the corner. Life, for him, is hard. Trying to get through the hour, or maybe even trying to get through the minutes. When we take on karma, we create a momentum of sorts. You might say a narrower karmic trajectory. Where “more of the same” is the name of the game. If we are souls, which we are, that have come here to learn and experience, which we have, “going down” is stepping into more difficult lessons for ourselves. In other words, when a soul incarnates into a challenging lifetime, very often that soul takes on more karma. Moving their overall vibration down. Or lower in…
You didn’t do it Wrong Karma takes it upon itself Karma, by its very nature, removes you from your “truth” or “power.” In other words, as you “take on” more and more karma, you are separating from your own power. We can think of karma as a method or mechanism that humans have that loads up our psyche with an illusion of sorts. Not only does karma collapse our choices of each moment, but it can also get us to prefer a particular way of living, even though that “particular way” of living doesn’t support us. What I mean by that is as we take on more karma, we are loading up our psyche with feelings and memories that can be very challenging for us. We can have a preference for avoiding our karma. A common example of this is addictions. Addictions come in many flavors. People can become addicted…
The Comfort or the Chaos Which do You prefer? It can seem like a good idea, the notion of comfort, that is. I mean, there is a bit of a karmic tsunami going on. Indeed, comfort, or perhaps taking the time to rest and ground yourself, can be very beneficial for you. Is that the ticket for getting through all this collective chaos? There are always pluses and minuses to everything. I mean, to talk about a plus, Heaven itself! In the beginning was the Light! Heaven right there. Before creation got started, well, it was already Heaven. The Light of Unconditional Love. Perfect … right? Well, Heaven, in and of itself, can’t give you the experience of being in form. Being in a body. Incarnation into human form for all the experiences it can offer you. There are no villains in heaven. And there are no heroes too. Heaven is…
Octaves of Wisdom Where are you operating from? How do you make the choices that you make, as you go about your day? It can seem that we are making our decisions based on what is happening outside of us. I want that. I don’t want that. That being that thing or opportunity outside of us. And there is certainly a merit to that. Sure, we are observing “this” and “that” outside of us. The thing is, we are actually basing a lot of wisdom, the wisdom behind our choices, on what is going on inside of us. There is a metaphorical structure to our consciousness. You could think of it as octaves of consciousness. Tiers of wisdom, perhaps. As we load up our psyche, over many lifetimes, including this lifetime, we start to posture. We develop a wisdom, perhaps based in our egos, that decides what we do as…
