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…
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?…
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.”…
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?…
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…
Les is back … well, almost I have had a life-changing experience It is like I fell into an active volcano, got burnt down to just ashes, and have finally climbed my way back out. Your life can change in an instant. It started one quite normal morning. I was eating breakfast, in a hurry, and just shoved a huge bite into my mouth. What I didn’t know was that an extremely rare event took place in that moment. That huge bite completely shut down my digestive tract in an instant. Like metaphorically taping my mouth shut. No food in at all. If I tried to eat anything, even a tiny pain pill, it would be instantly expelled from my mouth. I had created a complete blockage by having my ability to take in nutrients completely shut down. This is something I had never heard of before. In an instant, my…
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…
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,…
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…
From the Inside Out Karma is always an inside job Have you ever learned something that totally changed how you experience your life? Or perhaps how you approach your “problems” or “lessons?” I am learning just how fortunate I was when my life changed forever. It took me several decades to pick it apart. Picking apart what had happened when my life changed so much. The unraveling of myself, really. I mean, I am still finding a deeper understanding of what that change was that I went through. I have shared many times how the unexpected sudden release of emotions from my psyche was a big turning point in my life. There is no way I would have found it on my own. Not at the level that I did. I never would have known just how much of my life was on a sort of autopilot. Where my ego/mind…
Taking the Soul Perspective There are no mistakes Did you read the fine print? Before you chose to incarnate into this lifetime of yours, did you read the fine print? It can seem like a karmic tsunami gone bad. I mean, there is talk of another world war. There is so much suffering and division. And the karma, so you think, you can metaphorically cut with a knife. What went “wrong?” There is “no” wrong. The thing is, is that Source Consciousness/Prime Creator/God chose to create the realm of duality. To explore. To explore infinite potential. Infinite. Without end. We are never stuck. Not on the Divine scale of time. All things will resolve. All of creation will, eventually, return to Source. Our ego can easily become consumed by the vast amounts of information that we sort through as we go about our day. And the BS that we bump…
