Swimming in the Chaos Just as You wanted to Are you distracted yet? Do you have your eye on the prize? What is your “prize?” What do you intend to create or experience in your life? There are plenty of things to distract us. There are many topics to think about. You could think of all the information that we are exposed to, day in and day out, as a form of chaos. At least when we think about the media, online social and even the spam we get in our emails. Lots of “noise” to keep us distracted. If you think about the instantaneous manifestation of intentions, this is the realm of the alchemist, mystic or savior. Jesus, as we are told, healed folks in the moment. No follow-up appointments. Poof! done. All manner of miracles all done in the moment. Poof! done. The instantaneous fulfillment of desires or…

What Can You Imagine For Yourself? If you don’t believe it you will probably not see it. What do you believe is possible for your life? What? Could you be an … artist? Mountain climber? Welder? Healer? Author? Singer? Midwife? World traveler? Foster parent? Farmer? Cook? Race car driver? Etc. I am not suggesting you do something just to be busy. Or that you “need” to do it. It is always your call. I do think that we tend to settle in to a complacency or “normal” behavior. There are no requirements. You have free will. But then, your soul probably has a few hundred possibilities for your life. Most of which you might not ever consider. We tend to think in a linear fashion. Like a road map and a destination. We will go here, then we will go here, and then we will arrive. Linear thinking for our…

Getting Close to Heaven You will be there when Heaven arrives There are thousands of possible paths towards your future for you to choose from. Your future is wide open. In and of itself, consciousness has no boundaries. You, as a personality, are a pliable programmable vehicle of experience. You live in a world that was unimaginable not that long ago. You are who decides what will be, for you. To become (more) conscious of that will serve you well. Right now, where you stand, or sit, Jesus could arrive in the very same environment you are in now, and perform miracles. You live in the potentials of miracles yourself. In other words, when Jesus said, you will do everything I have done, and even more … it is you that decides how much, or how little, the universe responds to you. If you were to evolve your consciousness and…

You can’t do anything about it. You were not involved in the creation of you. It’s not like you are off the hook. You are still metaphorically steering your boat. Creating your future. To a point. But the creation of you, and the ongoing existence of you, is out of your hands. You, this awareness that is reading this sentence right now, was not around the day you were born. Likewise, you have been continually evolving yourself. If you were to magically arrange a gathering of “You’s” around a table, they would all have unique aspects of their personalities and personas. So, if you could invite you, from a decade ago, to join you at this imaginary meeting, and invite the You from two decades ago, and so on and so on … each personification of you is using the exact same principles of manifestation to create their version of…

What are Your Expectations? All your changes happen within You How broad is your view of your future? What is possible for yourself? What do you expect can, or cannot, happen in your life? We are completely self-programmable. I know it might not seem that way. But we are. It is our karma that can make us feel that our life experience(s) are rigid. Karma is like a “more of the same” generator. Until it is not. I have been scrubbing my “karma” for decades. In other words, I have been (etherically) looking for pent-up energy within me. This energy exists in a non-physical realm. You can’t really see mental and emotional energy directly. At least, not with your five senses. But you can see the effects directly. If someone is really mad, you can see that madness in their face. But the energy behind that is non-physical. What I…

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…

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…

Irons in the Fire What do you intend to happen? We are always engaged in the process of creation. We, right now, are creating our future. Whether you like it or not, the creation process is always on. 24/7/365. Without end. You are tending to, either consciously or subconsciously, creating your life, really. What are you consciously intending? Graduate from college? Get married? Write a book? Make more money? Fall in love? What are yours? These are what you are intending to happen. These are metaphorical “Irons in the Fire.” Like a blacksmith, making what he is making. You get the iron hot, by keeping it in the fire, then you pull it out and sculpt it. You shape it. You forge it into what you intend it to be. An Iron in the Fire reflects an intention. Something you are working on. Something you are making happen in your…

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…
