Suffering is Optional The Untouchable You We have all had our struggles. Some more painful than others. We all have had our own paths to walk. Sometimes it seems like a soul will choose a life path loaded with, often severe, personal challenges, perhaps to ensure there would be an awakening. For many of us, is has been over the last few years that our lives got turned upside down. Where everything we thought life would bring us, is perhaps lost forever. We can avoid the possibility of pain as well. How many of us have had our hearts broken. Perhaps crushed. And now we just don’t want to go “there” ever again. It is the pain itself, or the possibility of pain, that can freeze us in our tracks. Perhaps the memory of painful events. Our personal history is loaded up with intense events from our past. Some are…
It gets easier … if you engage You always have free will I understand not everyone knows about snow skiing. But there is a bit of a dichotomy behind getting good at it. When you first put on the skis, you feel very clumsy. It is difficult to move around at all. And then add trying to go down even a small hill … the tendency is to lean back. Why would you lean forward when you feel like you have no control? Yet, that is when you gain control. The skiing becomes easier (eventually ;- ) once you learn to lean into it. Once you get the knack of it, you can easily ski wherever you want on the ski slope. The skis are designed in such a way that when you lean forward, that is when the ability to control where you are going gets much easier. But…
World’s Largest Ball of Yarn Don’t forget to EnJoy the Journey The journey is the “reason.” There is no finish line. We are here for the human experience. The experience of the journey. What does it feel like to … [Insert experience(s) here]. Even the “bad” ones. The “landscape” of this journey (called life) is how we feel. How we are experiencing our lives. It can be our emotions, or perhaps the awe of our ego seeing something that is overwhelmingly beautiful. The passion flowing through us as we engage our heart’s desires. It can be a bit of a challenge to sharpen our focus when there is so much change going on in our lives and in the collective. There are times when we are actually shifting our own life-purpose in our life. I was a television engineer, and my heart told me to start writing books. Huh? Books?…
What would make You feel “Better”? Is there a feeling you are looking for? There is a bit of a back and forth. Once we get (more) focused on what we want. As part of the “awakening” process, you start paying more attention to your thoughts and feelings. You start to discern what you prefer, and what you don’t prefer. You start to “mind.” You start to pay attention to how you feel, doing those things that, perhaps, you have always done. To discover our subconscious habits that we have instilled in ourselves, we need to stretch ourselves. If we always avoid bad feelings, we are actually accumulating the karmic energy behind them. If we don’t ever get to the point of actually feeling them, they are taking more of a proverbial hold on us. It isn’t like we have to feel our bad feeling all the time, like it…
Filling the Void What will go in its place? Do you remember a wonderful time in your life? Perhaps it was a wonderful past relationship? Or maybe a challenging job that you loved? And then something changed. There was a loss of sorts. Where that wonderful situation ended. For whatever reason. Leaving a void in its place. Like how the 2020 karmic tsunami changed everything. We might have been living high on the hog in 2019 … but then something happened. We can have a longing to return to that time, that circumstance, that was so nice. We can have a longing within us for a repeat performance. I want THAT again. But Nature, by its very nature, doesn’t copy itself. At least, not on purpose. There is nothing wrong to want whatever you want. But we can come up short, not because of what has happened, but how we…
Growing Your Sense of Self Creating what you really want You are sitting in the best seat in the house … so to speak. But indeed, your life, right now, IS the time to enjoy the process of life itself. The only time you can feel anything … is right now. So, what DO you want to feel? Safe? Loved? Happy? Enlightened? Abundant? When we talk about our human experience, especially on this planet, there are two distinct arenas of living. Healing ourselves, and fulfilling ourselves. Kind of like a teeter-totter. Humanity, as a whole, is coming out of the dark ages. Karmically speaking, there is a huge swath of humanity that just wants life to be easier. To be able to feel better. The healing side of humanity. It isn’t like there is no joy in life until you completely heal. There can be joy and happiness all along…
Fun Is … What Fun Does What would your inner child want to do? Some spiritual teachers are the walking dead. IF they smiled … their faces would crack. All OM’y and serene. I get that. There IS an ocean of peace that has so much to offer us. But what the hell? Really? There are mechanics of ascension. Mental, Emotional, Spiritual and Physical modalities of healing. The process of healing itself. And then there is walking on the moon. Or breaking the sound barrier … by skydiving in only a space suit. Or … Come to me as a child … the God/Goddess whispered. Empty of motive or intent. Like children playing. No particular path to follow. Our inner child is a very important part of who we are. IF our inner child isn’t in the consciousness of our everyday living, well then, we might as well be in…
I Am … This. I Am … That. It is done unto you as You believe. We all do it. We all have described our lives to others with such statements of … I Am. I am happy. I am sad. I am rich. I am broke. I am mad. I am glad… When it comes to the unraveling of our past, it would serve us well to watch our language. Very carefully. We can think that who is talking, with this internal dialogue, is our ego. But it is … and it isn’t … just our egos talking. We have talked about the holographic nature of consciousness. We have talked about past-life regression. And the notion of talking with the future. All of it. All of what we talk about is Divine consciousness itself. Every point of presence, is Divine consciousness expressing. It is actually God/Goddess talking. There is…
Happy Heart Happy Life Creating the life (where) you Love Are you satisfied? Are you fulfilled? Are you jumping-on-the-bed happy? You are here to find Heaven on Earth. Well, not ON (the) Earth. But rather, within you now. Through your loving, all opposites unite. We all have our shadow-side. That unresolved aspect of our past. All the dormant energy within our own subconscious. All the energy that the law of attraction is responding to. Drawing to us a mirror of ourselves. Creating a karmic momentum of sorts. Our mind can find a very “normal” aspect to our lives. Where we find ourselves expecting … more of the same. But there is nothing “normal” about Love. Love will gladly kick your ass. In a very good way. Can you open up to Love just a little bit more today? Starting with yourself? What do you imagine your life could be? Is…
Feeling Joy all along the way There is a feeling that happens when we grow our sense of Self. You are living in a most exceptional time in our human story. The awakening of humanity itself. And that feeling can happen during every day of your life. Joy is felt when the ego discovers more of the truth. When the ego can get glimpses of what your life can be. The really cool part of it all is that there is literally no end to the creation process. Love, in its purest form, is the fabric of creation. So to put that into context, you are the fabric of creation, for the essence of you is Love. In the beginning was the Light. The Light of Love. And from that, ALL things were created. You have a story of your life that has brought you to this moment. And woven…
We pray to a BIG God but … Do you see things happening in our humanity that are painful to think about? Is there suffering on this planet that you would prefer to be rid of? Who do you think is going to “fix” it? God, the BIG guy, will not do a thing about it. Nope. Sure, we pray to a BIG god. But he is chill’n. There will be no Divine intervention… Wait… stop. Why would we be talking about what we don’t want? After all, WE are the face of creation. We are creators. We create. If we look at the situations of the world, the most powerful thing we can do about it is to create. What we focus on expands. There is also the element of frequency or vibration. The act of creation is the powerful tool we have as individuals. You can change the…
