You Decide It All You are the sole creator of your experience OK. So no. You, yourself, can’t put another three or four suns in the sky. OK, so no, you can’t add another dozen planets to the solar system. So no, you don’t decide it all. Not from the collective perspective. But, absolutely, you do decide it all when it comes to how you experience your “reality.” Gravity is impersonal. The mechanics of karma are impersonal. The mechanics of emotions are impersonal. The cycle of day and night are impersonal. Time is impersonal, etc. You, it is you, that decides how you experience these things. There is no built-in experience of “reality.” If there were, we would all experience everything the exact same way. It is truly a blessing that we decide it all. Earlier this year I spent seven weeks in the hospital. Five surgeries. Extreme pain for…
Coming Out of the Storm Healing Your Relationship with “Reality” So, how are you doing? How are you holding up in this sea of change? There is a connection, a bonding, of sorts. A karmic connection. A karmic bond, you might say, that connects us with our own “reality.” This connection is completely energetic … at first. Until it is not. We all have our own personal history. We all have our own personal karma. Unique to ourselves. Connecting us to our own personal human experience. This karmic connection is the most impersonal thing imaginable. Our connection to “reality” is a pliable and changeable aspect of ourselves. There are billions of variations of karma playing themselves out on Earth today. In other words, although we all live on the same planet, how we experience it is completely unique to ourselves. It is our karma that decides our experience. But even…
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…
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 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…
Nobody’s fault but Mine You create Your experience There is a bit of a lag of sorts. A temporal displacement. At least it can seem that way. In other words, once we have accumulated a lot of pent-up karma in our subconscious, it can seem like we are living in a rigid pattern of life. Our life takes on a seemingly consistent nature to it. And from that, our minds can believe that life is just “that way.” Where our karmic experiences are repeating themselves over and over. To compound that, we can have karma from past lives that anchor a repetitive pattern in ourselves, and thus into our life experiences as well. This can give us a sense of being a “victim” of our experiences. Where our conscious mind can’t connect the dots as to why “bad things” keep happening to us. Perhaps it is the third divorce, where…
The Opportunity to Spiritually Evolve One Step at a Time How are you doing? How are you holding up? Are you doing fine, or not so much? We chose to come here to have this experience. All of it. You, at the soul level, chose everything about your life. Even the tough stuff. But that doesn’t mean it can’t be tough. That life can be hard to handle. But there is always a gift to be had. We experience difficulties because there is something we need to know about ourselves. Difficulties are a kind of karmic friction. Resistance to life. This planet has countless forms of karma to be had. Planet Earth is a master class for souls to come to learn a deeper truth about themselves. I know the news can be heart-wrenching. There are plenty of people on this planet who will experience hell today. And likewise, there…
What is Your Karmic Momentum? Karma itself is impersonal So, what does momentum have to do with karma? Easy. Just try to make a significant change in your life. Writing this, I just now realized, that what I am really talking about is inertia. What’s the difference? Mass. The difference is mass. Imagine you are driving down a steep and winding mountain road. Lots of tight corners. Now imagine that with two different vehicles. These vehicles represent a difference in mass or weight. If you are on a motorcycle, that steep mountain road could be so much fun. Easily maneuverable. Great cornering. Made for it, really. Now imagine driving that same steep mountain road in a fully loaded cement truck. Not made to take corners very well. Especially at higher speeds. Driving something like that, down the same mountain road, would be dangerous and difficult. If you made it at…
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…
Your Path to Nirvana It might be closer than you think You do have the best seat in the house. So, what are you looking for? What will “do it” for you? Are you a seeker looking for your spiritual truth? How will you change once you find it? Sure, you can go (back) to Heaven. That non-local field of endless Unconditional Love. But then there will be no-thing to do. I had a profound experience about 12 years ago. My best guess is that my Soul wanted to show me the full range of consciousness that a human being could have. It was like my soul took me up through the spiritual journey itself. Up through all the spectrums of consciousness and into the Light. Through all the octaves of consciousness that make up the spiritual journey itself. Kind of like my soul was showing me the “finish line.”…
