Nothing About Your Karma is Personal Ka ka ka karma … it starts with Did gravity make you trip and fall? Did electricity make you get shocked? Did karma mess up your life? These things, gravity, electricity and karma, are all very impersonal. There are billions of folks living out their own personal cocktail of karma. The principles of karma are as impersonal as the principles of gravity and electricity. There is nothing personal about your karmic experience. The more karma you have, the more momentum you have in your life. That is to say, the more likely your life will be “more of the same.” We all have our own unique experience of “normal.” That “normal” most likely has changed a bit since 2020. But “normal” is still the same. Still the same. Same. Normal, by its very nature, means more of the same. Your karma is like that too.…
God has the best tattoos We are not here to be the same You cannot escape your Divinity. Even on your worst day, you are Divine. There is a notion that God wants us all to be “righteous.” To fit in to the Divine template is perhaps the intent of many religious folks. But I suggest God is just fine with “wrongeous” folks as well. (Is that the wrong word?). If God was so insistent on “perfection” God never would have left Heaven. In other words, there would be no duality. All there would be is Unconditional Love, as Unconditional Love is perfection in and of itself. You could call Unconditional Love the fabric of all that is. I mean, if God created everything, and God is Unconditional Love, we are all made from the fabric of Love. What about all the ways that humanity is so cruel to itself?…
You Cannot Exhaust Your Options Consciousness always seeks expansion What are you looking for? Are you good right where you are? Set the cruise control and just sit back? There are no intrinsic requirements. None. You have fierce free agency. But that only has power if you leverage it. Ask yourself this next question. What could my life look like? But ask that question three times. First … ask your ego. Was it easy to answer? Next. Take some time and pause long enough to hear the reply. Ask the same question of your heart. Did the answer come easily? Or did it take a bit to connect with your heart’s desires? Last. Ask your soul the same question. Again. Did the answer come easily? Was it already in your thoughts? You are going to click off years. Years are poised before you now. Years. Unless you bite the dust, you…
The Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment What brings you Joy For many of us we are living a life in the fast brain. With our phones, social media, the news and all of the massive changes that are going on in the world around us. I get that it can be difficult when we are being tugged in so many directions. Oftentimes our minds are challenged and stressed to make the right decisions. When I talk about the Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment, I am talking about your heart, your soul and your ego. Your ego, all by itself, can decide if you will live your life by day-trading stocks and taking lavish vacations. Perfect. You have free will. You are free to live your life any way that you choose. Your ego might be satisfied and fulfilled, at least for a while, with such a strategy. But millionaires jump…
Are you going to do it? Time waits for no one. Do you have any ideas that seem to keep showing up? Has it been a while? How long does it take for you to take actions on your ideas? Perhaps you have thoughts like … write a book. Go back to school. Take that arts class. Volunteer at the … You get the idea. When I wrote my first book, it took me six years. I get it. I mean, sometimes when we go to start something completely out of our previous wheelhouse, we want to see the whole journey before we take the first step. Because … what if? What if nobody wants to read my book? What if I fail? What if I can’t do it? These are known as risks. There are no guarantees how it will turn out if you sincerely try. But there is…
Change Your Karmic Momentum Karma, like gravity, is impersonal The scale that our human persona can be “programmed,” so to speak, is vast and deep. When we take on more and more karma, the probabilities of our future collapse into a much narrower range of possibilities. When I talk about our psyche being “programmed,” it can happen on many different levels. We can program ourselves, and others can program us, if we are not conscious about it. In this blog, I will talk about how we program our own psyches. The elephant in the room, so to speak, at least how it relates to our programming, is our childhood. Look no further than your family of origin to see where the deepest ingrained imprinting has happened in this lifetime of yours. We can easily think that we have grown out of it. That is to say, as adults, we can…
Grow Your Sense of Self We are never completely stuck There are octaves or spectrums of wisdom within you now. Perhaps without end. You always have another moment. Thus, you always have another moment to make a new choice and thus create a new outcome. One of the aspects I have noticed within myself is my soul. Of course my soul has “been here” my whole life. But I, as my ego, didn’t recognize the intelligence or wisdom of my soul until more recently. It is not that I am psychic enough where I “see” my soul and have some kind of mystical interaction with it. But rather, it is that still small voice within me now. Although the still small voice is here if I look/listen for it, the insights it has for me are anything but small. There are no requirements for ourselves. We are given fierce free…
To meet your Soul where it is A non-linear aspect of You! There are no requirements. The idea of fierce free will is proven. Just look at how far into the “darkness” or “shadow” we have gone. Every manner of pain and suffering are playing out on this planet now. Our souls seem to allow it. Until they don’t. Have you ever had a life-changing event in your life? Where would you be now, if that same event had not happened? Sometimes our soul takes off the metaphorical gloves and rings our bell. In other words, there are countless N.D.E. (Near Death Experience) stories shared online. Or an accident or such has turned your life on its head. It’s not that our souls are uninterested in what we choose, but for the most part, it, the ego, is given carte blanche to think, choose, and act as it wishes. The…
What is your Karmic Cadence? Karma, like gravity, is impersonal. In any one moment, you are either releasing karma, experiencing no change in your karma or taking on more karma. How you are changing, as it relates to how much karma you have, can be a choice. So many people don’t pay any attention to their karma. At all. There are even “spiritual teachers” that are teaching false principles that are actually increasing their followers’ karma. Anger, bad! Don’t ever show anger. Expressing anger is not spiritually correct. Yeah … right. Suppressing my anger is what kicked my karmic ass for the first decades of my life. lol Karma is very impersonal. All of reality is impersonal, really. Wait a minute, that can’t be right. Right? I suppose there are millions if not billions of folks that have a bone to pick with their karma. Perhaps so. But the mechanisms…
What you focus on … expands Where are you putting your attention? There is a thing about gratitude that can have an effect on your future. When you are grateful for something that is already in your life, you are putting your attention on what you are grateful for. By putting your attention on what has already been created, even though it is already here, it primes your future for more of the same. It is like you are ordering more of that thing. Likewise, when you are putting your attention on what you don’t want and having it elicit an emotional response, you are solidifying it in your future. It might seem that you are just and worthy to have a vile hatred of something that is horrible. Certainly this planet has plenty of horrific things happening on it. But what the hell? There is a recorder of sorts,…
Looking through Your Karmic Lens What do You see? I was thinking the other day about the spiritual journey itself. A journey, that if you are reading this blog, you are most likely on. To grow or evolve our spirituality. There are hundreds of “modalities” or “processes” that so many spiritual teachers provide. Somatic work, Emotional work, Mental work, and the like. These topics of focus are relevant because that is what we bump up against when we want to make some progress on our journey. They are part of the journey. But after working on ourselves for a while, maybe a long while, maybe many lifetimes, we come to the part of the journey about Love. On the last mile of the journey you might say Unconditional Love is the “finish line.” Not that our journey just stops there. But once we have learned how to embody Unconditional Love,…
