Up is Easier. Down is Harder.

No Comments

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…

Your Answers are Within You now

No Comments

Your Answers are Within You now Karma itself is not personal You are metaphorically standing in front of a mirror. You are the creator of your reflection. You are the creator of your life experience. If you are bumping up against struggle or resistance in your life, your emotions will reflect where you are stuck. In other words, our emotions are created when our beliefs, attitudes and values bump up against “reality.” They are a report card of sorts. Your emotions evolve, or don’t evolve, as you grow or evolve, or don’t grow or evolve yourself. We take on a sense of self as we live our lives. This “sense of self” is set up in our mind/ego. If I ask you “who are you?” it would be your ego that responds. Yet, before your ego existed, you were, and always are, a soul identity as well. When we look…

Don’t Blame the Mirror

No Comments

Don’t Blame the Mirror Look at Your Reflection The world you experience “out there” is a perfect reflection of You. This simple idea can be a measuring stick for who you really are. Are you wealthy fiscally? Or not so much. Are you healthy? Or not so much. Are you happy? Or not so much. Are you … you get the idea. But keep in mind, what you are seeing, being reflected back to you, might have been “put” there within you a very long time ago. Did you inherit a genetic disorder? Does your family lineage have a long history of poverty? Are you a mirror image of your family lineage? Maybe and maybe not. The human psyche is extremely programmable. Imagine if you will, just for conversation sake, that you were switched at birth. Just a general example to illustrate how the environment in which you were raised…

Don’t Blame the Teacher

No Comments

Don’t Blame the Teacher What you see is your reflection Do you have difficult people in your life? Those people who can really get you upset? Or, perhaps, are just an irritant? Perfect. You could call them your teachers. This might be one of those times where the problem is actually part of the solution. I know I had such a problem. I am that I am. Seems like a simple statement. “I Am That I Am” is what God told Moses, speaking through the Burning Bush. Well, that doesn’t solve any of my problems. I am that I am. What am I supposed to do with that? When you stand in front of a mirror and, looking at the image of yourself in the mirror, you see that your hair is all messed up … do you take your comb and try to straighten the hair in the reflection?…

Riding the Waves of Consciousness

No Comments

Riding the Waves of Consciousness Taking it all in We can all feel it. Change at a massive level. Perhaps some of the most turbulent times in which to live. In our history, as a planet, we haven’t had a global shift of change like we have now. These are unique times compared to our past. After 2020 we all started having a much more global narrative play out. Creating huge waves of change all over the world. How are you doing? Are you navigating your way through the karmic tsunami? Are you playing it safe or are you even fueling the flames of change? We all want heaven. Well, maybe not all of us. Well, maybe not even that many. Heaven, as an intention or destination, isn’t on that many people’s minds. At least that I know of. But making more money, owning the fabulous home or car or…

The Pain and the Pleasure

No Comments

The Pain and the Pleasure Two sides of the same coin Heaven and hell are here now. Someone somewhere is experiencing tremendous pain and suffering. Through war, trafficking, domestic violence or any other of the ways humanity tortures itself. Hell personified. Likewise, babies are being born. First-time parents are holding a miracle in their arms. People are getting back on their feet after perhaps many struggles and challenges. The idea that a single mom, perhaps living out of her car, with her children, finally gets a place of her own. She walks into her new place and closes the door. She has a safe haven for herself and her children perhaps for the first time in a long time. Flavors of heaven. What have you felt? What is the range of emotions you have felt for perhaps the last three months? Have you felt heaven? Have you felt hell? Or…

No one is holding you back

No Comments

No one is holding you back It’s all You! As you are the creator of your human experience, you are never stuck. We live in an impersonal arena of creation. Gravity is impersonal. Electricity is impersonal. Karma is impersonal. Emotions are an impersonal mechanism we are all experiencing. The whole arena we are experiencing is an impersonal opportunity for ourselves. The life outside of us is a reflection of our own persona. Period. We decide it all. I think what throws us off, is just how deep our imprinting is. We have accumulated countless belief systems, attitudes, preferences and such over many lifetimes. Since we are born into this life with an established set of karmic stigmas from our past, we don’t ever experience ourselves without those stigmas. Our “normal” day-to-day experience is metaphorically riding on top of our accumulated karmic stigmas from our past. We can go our whole life…

You didn’t do it Wrong

No Comments

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 Villain is also the Teacher

No Comments

The Villain is also the Teacher You can’t get triggered if … So, who in your life is “giving” you the most grief? Who can get under your skin, so to speak? Push your buttons. Yank your chain. Trip your triggers. Those people are a gift to you. There is a most curious thing about karma … regardless if the student is ready, the teacher will arrive. lol  A play on the saying “when the student is ready, the teacher will arrive.” Karma has an elegance to it. It is a perfect law that the universe abides by. We attract to ourselves our (karmic) teachers. And often, at least early in our spiritual journey, those teachers are also our villains. But I didn’t ask for that a**hole in my life. Well, actually you did. My enemy is my greatest teacher. ~ Dalai Lama Those who can push your buttons are giving you…

Getting off the Emotional Rollercoaster

No Comments

Getting off the Emotional Rollercoaster Our Emotions connect us to the Collective Story … until it doesn’t Emotions, as a mechanism or part of being human, are impersonal. But I know it doesn’t always seem that way. But there is an element to our own personal experience of emotions that we do have control over. Not control, in that we suppress our emotions. Not that we “control” our emotions by suppressing them. But rather, we can heal our relationship with our own emotions and set ourselves free of wrestling with them. The emotions themselves are indifferent to how we experience them. You could think of your emotions as a personal report card of sorts. For some of us, we can have a rather constant relationship with particular emotions. For example, we might have a pattern or habit of dreading talking about money, sex or responsibilities with our partner. Where we…

Nobody but You

No Comments

Nobody but You It is all created by You There is a choice that we can make, but for so many, that choice isn’t “available.” For so many people, they tend to live much of their life in a perpetual state of re-acting. Instead of constantly re-acting in the very same way over and over, we can make a new choice and thus a new outcome. But only if we are aware that the choice exists. Reactive patterns tend to base themselves on our emotions. And yet, it is not the emotions themselves that “cause” the re-action. It is the mind. It is a kind of patterning that is often “programmed” into us by our family of origin. In other words, when we are literally creating our ego, growing up as a child, there would be common emotions that perhaps the whole family would posture with. And as a child,…
