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…
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…
To find the Calm within the Storm This too … will pass We are in the middle of big shifts happening on the planet. Tossing many of us into emotional turmoil. And for many, they would prefer not feeling such emotional challenges. If we are not willing to “go there,” to go into the emotions that are being upset within ourselves, we can feel like we are constantly challenged by all the changes going on. In other words, it can feel very taxing to have so many emotions flair up within us, when we might prefer to avoid it all. Emotions are a roadblock for many. Those who are on their spiritual journey often stop making progress when they bump up against their more challenging emotions. Where the calmness is preferred. Or a striving to create a feeling of calmness within the tsunami of change that is happening in 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…
What is your Karmic Cadence? Karma, like gravity, is impersonal. In any one moment, you are either releasing karma, experiencing no change in your karma or taking on more karma. How you are changing, as it relates to how much karma you have, can be a choice. So many people don’t pay any attention to their karma. At all. There are even “spiritual teachers” that are teaching false principles that are actually increasing their followers’ karma. Anger, bad! Don’t ever show anger. Expressing anger is not spiritually correct. Yeah … right. Suppressing my anger is what kicked my karmic ass for the first decades of my life. lol Karma is very impersonal. All of reality is impersonal, really. Wait a minute, that can’t be right. Right? I suppose there are millions if not billions of folks that have a bone to pick with their karma. Perhaps so. But the mechanisms…
What you focus on … expands Where are you putting your attention? There is a thing about gratitude that can have an effect on your future. When you are grateful for something that is already in your life, you are putting your attention on what you are grateful for. By putting your attention on what has already been created, even though it is already here, it primes your future for more of the same. It is like you are ordering more of that thing. Likewise, when you are putting your attention on what you don’t want and having it elicit an emotional response, you are solidifying it in your future. It might seem that you are just and worthy to have a vile hatred of something that is horrible. Certainly this planet has plenty of horrific things happening on it. But what the hell? There is a recorder of sorts,…
