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…
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…
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…
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 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.”…
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?…
Getting through the Storm Riding the waves of change And what a gift all this change is. There is a lot of change going on. A tempest of sorts. The collective subconscious of all of humanity is coming up to the surface. We are seeing our shadow(s). We are seeing sides of humanity that we would have never known about without all this change. Riding the waves of change isn’t always easy. Sometimes we just want to go hide away somewhere where we can just relax. Lucky for you, there is a metaphorical “Garden of Eden” within you now. A place of immense peace and tranquility. It has been there every moment of all of your existence. The day you were born, your Innate Self was there. Your Innate Self is the Self that is always there. Your ego, your personalities, and all of that changes with time. But your…
The Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment What brings you Joy For many of us we are living a life in the fast brain. With our phones, social media, the news and all of the massive changes that are going on in the world around us. I get that it can be difficult when we are being tugged in so many directions. Oftentimes our minds are challenged and stressed to make the right decisions. When I talk about the Trifecta of Satisfaction and Fulfillment, I am talking about your heart, your soul and your ego. Your ego, all by itself, can decide if you will live your life by day-trading stocks and taking lavish vacations. Perfect. You have free will. You are free to live your life any way that you choose. Your ego might be satisfied and fulfilled, at least for a while, with such a strategy. But millionaires jump…
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…
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…
