Everything is Perfect the Way it is

Do we sometimes fret when events beyond our control that are not to our liking happen to us? Most of us do. We start asking “why me?” or “poor me”. This may be hard for some to accept, but the fact is we actually brought it to our lives. Somewhere along the line we have made decisions and taken certain course of actions that has resulted in those events happening to us. The reverse is also true for all the good things that have happened in your life. Just think of all the good things in your life. Have we not at one point in time made decisions and taken actions that paved the way for such positive events to happen to us? I’m sure we did do something. If you understand how the law of attraction works, even a thought can bring in these events.

However I would like to state here that whether an event is good or bad is really our perception of it. How do we know if something is good or bad? The event is neutral. It is our belief system that results in us labelling the event as either good or bad.

There is an old Chinese folktale about a farmer who lived at the northern frontier. This farmer had only one horse, and one day the horse ran away. The neighbours came to condole over his terrible loss. The farmer said, "What makes you think it is so terrible?"

A month later, the horse came home--this time bringing with her two beautiful wild horses. The neighbours became excited at the farmer's good fortune. Such lovely strong horses! The farmer said, "What makes you think this is good fortune?"

The farmer's son was thrown from one of the wild horses and broke his leg. All the neighbours were very distressed. Such bad luck! The farmer said, "What makes you so sure this isn't a blessing?"

A year later the nomads came in force across the border, and every able-bodied man was conscripted and sent into battle. The Chinese frontiersmen lost nine of every ten men. Only the farmer's son, because he had a broken leg, remained. Only because the son was lame did the father and son survive to take care of each other. Truly, blessing turns to disaster, and disaster to blessing: the changes have no end, nor can the mystery be fathomed.

All events are neutral and even events that we perceive at that point of time to be negative may turn out to be blessings in disguise. The events that happen in your life are perfect as it is. You are in the perfect place on your perfect journey. You are right where you are meant to be, because you chose it. In fact, you could not be more perfect than you are now.

And now realize that you brought in all the good things into your life. Your thoughts and feelings moved the energies of the Universe to bring all those good things to you. You are a powerful being.

The law of attraction is precise, and when you do not get the results you want, it is only through your misuse of the law; instead of bringing what you want, you are creating not bringing what you want. But either way you are still creating. The law is infallible and it is always responding to you.

Illusions and Perception

This article is a summary of Sal Rachele’s article on Illusion and Perception.

An illusion is a distortion of the senses whether optical, auditory, tactile, or involving the other senses. In spirituality, a simple definition of illusion is “not perceiving things as they are”. However, because we never really perceive anything as it actually is, perceiving itself is an illusory device. We could say that reality is merely different configurations of vibrating energy in a quantum flux. How we view that reality will always be in distortion, at least as long as we are in human form. Then there are psychological illusions that only exist to the perceiver, such as fear. Fear is an energy pattern in the mind of the perceiver. The Acronym for Fear is False Expectations Appearing Real.

”Evil” is a state of distortion whereby one separates out one or more parts of creation as being less deserving of Infinite Love than other parts of creation. It involves judgment, projection and blame. The illusion of duality is created by separating oneself from part or all of creation, at least mentally (in actuality it is impossible to separate oneself from Creation).

”Good” does not triumph over “evil”, but rather, the illusions of “good” and “evil” are dispelled and the reality beyond duality is remembered. The Oneness has always existed, and existed all the time we were having the dream of duality.

The natural world and all creatures in it are not illusions; however, the way we perceive the natural world and other sentient life is an illusion.

The Universe consists of energy patterns, waves and particles, and even this is not an adequate description. In other words, the description is part of the illusion. The word is not the object, the mental picture is not the reality.

Perhaps the question really is: Can we directly experience the reality behind the illusion of appearance? A recent movie, “What the [bleep] Do We Know?” explores the Quantum Uncertainty Principle in a highly entertaining form. The Mind of the Creator and the individual minds of the extensions of the Creator (known as souls) collectively make up the Matrix. There is an energetic reality beyond the personality or ego self, but it exists within a collective field, at least in this manifest Universe. In the higher realms, things may be a bit harder to analogize.

The key, then, is to learn to transcend perception and experience life directly through inner knowing. The problem is, it’s usually the ego trying to do this. The ego obviously cannot transcend itself, but perhaps it can understand itself well enough to realize its true position as servant and not master. When the ego stops trying to control everything, the higher senses (psychic, intuitive, clairvoyant, etc.) are able to arise, and perception changes. Self-awareness is the key to transcendent perception.

The Power of Belief

Randi the magician has an ongoing offer to pay $1,000,000 to anyone who can demonstrate that psychic phenomena is real.* It's my bet that he'll never have to pay up. Why? Because to him, it doesn't exist, and no amount of “proof” by Russian scientists will ever be enough to satisfy his extreme denial. What we don’t want to see doesn’t exist for us, and unless something comes along to sufficiently shake our belief, we go on living on a flat earth**, so to speak.

Fear

Fear is one of the most prevalent illusory perceptions in today’s world. We see it every day in the media. We see its subtle forms, such as anxiety, stress, nervousness and restlessness. Fear is but an illusion. It’s based on the illusory belief that someone or something outside ourselves can harm us or destroy our peace of mind. This is only true if we believe we are separate from God and Creation. Once we remove the belief in separation, there is no fear. Seeing that this is an illusion, we can move right through the fear to the reality on the other side.

We must stay fully present with fear -- notice everything about it -- it's color, texture, bodily sensation, how it arises, how it dissolves, what thoughts it generates, what actions we take, how we try to deny it, etc. Avoiding IS the fear

tself. Only awareness dispels it.

Believing the Drama is Real

Ram Dass once said, "Before enlightenment it was me and my STUFF!!! Now, it's just me and my stuff." The “stuff” was still there, but swami's awareness had grown so much that the stuff was now just a little pile of poop instead of a mountain of sh*t. You’ve heard the expression “Don’t make mountains out of molehills.” And I’m sure you’ve known at least one (probably several) drama kings or queens. These folks take life way too seriously. After all, what’s the worst that could happen? You might lose your body. Someone might kill you, or torture you. You might wither away, alone and in poverty, starving and wasting from disease. All your loved ones could die horrible deaths. The world could be destroyed by nuclear weapons.

Notice a pattern? All of these involve the physical body. But we are soooo much more than our physical bodies. Once we realize we are Spirit, our bodies become merely vehicles for communication on this plane of existence. Not only are they no longer all important, but moving into Spirit automatically causes us to draw into our lives only experiences that promote our spiritual growth – and that rarely involves any kind of violence or suffering.

That's how it is for a lot of us now. We've been around the block a few times and have learned to recognize how the ego blows everything out of proportion as it vainly tries to save us from ourselves. More and more we are coming from center (Spirit or Soul) instead of from ego, and it feels wonderful in a solid sort of way. Of course, things can still blow us off-track, but they don't seem to consume us as much anymore.

We cannot wish or do away with the ego. That's because it's the ego that wants to do away with things in the first place. When I'm centered and clear within, I laugh. When we’re tempted to buy into one of the illusions of the world, such as "I'm at the effect of forces beyond my control," that's when it’s time to remember Who We Really Are. We are soooo vast. We are loved by God so much that our minds will NEVER be able to conceive of more than a tiny fraction of that love.

Choosing Spirit

A Course In Miracles says “every moment we are choosing between the resurrection and the crucifixion.” To me, this means that every thought can be life affirming or life denying, loving or fearful, real or illusory. Are we giving power to illusions and trying to make them real, or are we embracing our Divinity? In the Bible, the "knowledge of good and evil" refers to the belief in duality. This knowledge of good and evil brings with it a burden, as stated in Genesis. But isn't knowledge better than blissful ignorance? Yes, but we must go from knowledge to transcendence. Knowledge includes being aware of just how deeply we bought into the belief in good and evil. Once we see every crack and crevice of the darkness inherent in this belief, the light of awareness dispels the illusion of duality and we remember that all is Spirit.

A Word About Compassion

An important point that I’ve made before is that once we realize the power of belief, and the truth that our perceptions (thoughts) create our reality, we may be tempted to dismiss the suffering of others as “their belief; they created it; it’s their karma.” Or we may go one step further and say, “It doesn’t matter that children are starving because the world is an illusion.”

Let’s remember that it’s 4th dimensional consciousness that spouts the "all is illusion" rap in order to avoid looking at issues. Fifth dimensional consciousness is love and unity, and love always finds some way to respond to a call for help. Millions of our brothers and sisters are calling out for help, and the Love Within will respond if we open to it. Love's help may or may not appear as outer action, but closing our hearts to suffering is definitely not a 5D response.

The real question here is about being guided by one's own God Presence to help in the best possible way. My soul often attracts other souls either to help me or be helped. I do not need to go out of my way seeking to help others, nor should I be worried about rejecting a plea of help. Love is spontaneous and natural and if I'm listening to WHO I AM, I will respond appropriately. Sometimes it may look like active intervention; sometimes like nothing at all. Spirit knows what it's doing, my ego does not. Our egos do not know all of the ramifications of any assistance we offer. Maybe that spare change we gave to the man on the street went for alcohol. Then this drunk man stole a car and mowed over a dozen people. Or maybe that smile we gave prevented the suicide of someone who later became a major figure for change in the world. All of us affect the world more than we can imagine.

All of the above discussion can be distilled down to one sentence regarding perception: God’s Love within us is real; all else is illusion. Yes, it’s that simple.

When the student is ready, the teacher will appear

When you read a personal development book, spiritual text or even watch a spiritual documentary or personal development documentary (like The Secret), you can take into your mind only the knowledge that is on the same frequency as you at the time. The next time you read the same book or watch the same film, you take in much, much more. And this process never stops. You will continue to discover something more in every reading or viewing, and the principles become clearer and clearer and clearer. That is because your consciousness is expanding every single time. Robert Kiyosaki has stated in his books about a person's context i.e. how much a person's "cup" can contain. The more a person develops his mind, the more his "cup" can hold. Jesus has warned not to cast pearls upon swines, hence all teachings are in parables. And as a person grows in the mind, more are revealed through the same text.

This concept is exactly what Buddha meant when he said “When the student is ready, the teacher appears”.

And it is exactly this expansion of consciousness that would deliver all faiths and religion in the world today towards the One Source. What do I mean by that? Let me explain here.

Every religion did not start out as religion. At the time the teachings were delivered, they were philosophy. The teachers, or Avatars if you prefer, were delivering a philosophical teaching to the masses in the form of parables. Truth was delivered watered down to simple understandable parables based on the level of spiritual development of the people at that location at that point in time.

Any other way and the people there would have completely missed the teachings. If one’s context or ability to receive is small, how can one receive higher knowledge? Those same parables, revisited after years of practice would reveal different levels of truth that would then now be acceptable to the people whereas in the past, they would not have been able to accept it.

Just look back in your own life. Were there not times when you were completely revolted by certain things but many years down the road, the same thing no longer revolts you but instead you can actually see how it can make sense? And that is just one lifetime. Imagine matters that are of a grander scale like universal truth.

We now know that when we look at our hands with a sufficiently powerful microscope, we can see smaller than our cells right down to the atoms. And we know from mainstream science that atoms consists of protons, neutrons and electrons. Quantum physics is now exploring even beyond that to the nano scale. So what we essentially call our physical body is actually a whole lot of empty space! Now imagine, if you were to tell that to someone from the time of Christ. Can you imagine the reaction they would have to you? And if you, in all your ignorance, insist on your facts (and they are facts), you will only antagonise the masses and you may just end up like Christ on the cross... or worse.

Do you see what I mean now?

The teachings that were brought forward by the various great teachers of our time were universal teachings/truths handed down since the time of Atlantis and Rama (both great civilizations before our earliest recorded history). But they had to be delivered in parables in order to “neither cast your pearls before the swine”. However, with consistency of practice over lifetimes, those who choose to go on the path, would be able to see more layers behind those teachings. Those same parable would reveal higher meanings and teachings to the initiate in order for him/her to continue on his/her path to the One Source.

Take Buddhism for example:

The 1st turning of the Dharma wheel i.e. Buddha’s original teachings, we have now the Theravada sect. At the 2nd turning of the Dharma wheel, we now have the Mahayana sect. At the 3rd turning of the Dharma wheel, we have the Vajrayana sect. So there are now 3 main sects in the world today. Each sect claims that their path it the path to follow for Buddhist. The Theravadas say that theirs is the original teachings inferring that the other major sects are not following Buddha’s “real” teachings. Mahayanas on the other hand say that theirs is of higher teaching or a “greater vehicle” inferring that the Theravadas are a “lesser vehicle”. The Vajrayana also look upon themselves as the highest teachings of Buddha but the Theravadas and Mahayanas do not buy in to their claim. Actually all 3 sect are merely different levels of teachings. If one is to follow the Buddhist path through the many lifetimes, one would start with the Theravada teachings and eventually over many lifetimes of spiritual practice (not religious practice), receive insights and grow into the Mahayana teachings and as one continue to grow, eventually it leads to the Vajrayana teachings.

The same applies for many other religions in the world. There are outer teachings and inner/higher teachings: The Christians and the Gnostics; Muslims and the Sufis; etc.

When the Student is ready, the Teacher appears.

The Concept of Satan and The "Forces of Darkness"

The concept of Satan is based on the distorted perception that there are forces in the Universe that can oppose God with the goal of unseating God from His throne. This is simply not true. Firstly, God is both male and female. Secondly, there is no throne to be unseated from. Thirdly, God is the One Source that all that ever was, is and will be comes forth from and returns to.

There is only light and the absence of light. And the absence of light is in actual fact, lack-of-light for are we all not light beings? However the issue of "lack of light" can be so acute to the extend it is almost like there is absolutely no light. But actually there is light, just that it is so minute it is negligible, hence "no" light. So where there is little or "no" light, there can certainly be “satanic” experience. All manner of nightmarish worlds can arise within the darker regions. Certainly, there are entities who, in their lust for power, will rise up and rule these worlds. They are the so-called “Dark Lords” or Negative entities. So while it is true that there are negative entities of immense powers, their problem is lack of light. They do not possess a “dark power” capable of removing God.

These Negative entities can be of 3rd density up to 5th density. We humans are presently 3rd density moving onto 4th and the midpoint of the transition is apparently on 21st Dec 2012. The main characteristic of the negative entities is that their primary focus is on Service-to-Self and not Service-to-Others. Their negative polarization is greatly aided by the subjugation or enslavement of others.

Those negative entities in the 4th density is fully aware of possible methods of viewing the universe of the One Creator and it is fully convinced that the most efficient way to progress spiritually is by ignoring and not using the heart chakra. They consciously deny the very spectrum that is the core of the 4th density which is universal love.

When these 4th density negative entities move on to the 5th density, the wisdom density is explored by an entity that has no compassion and no universal love. The negative entity uses anger as a catalyst to control. This should not be misunderstood that anger is all bad. Cayce has mentioned the use of positive anger before. What this means is that anger is but a catalyst that can be used for both positive polarization and negative polarization. Acceptance is the key to positively polarized use of anger as a catalyst. Negative polarization contains a great requirement for control and repression.

Emotion, which is of itself disorganized, needs to be repressed and then brought to the surface in an organized use in order to be useful to a negatively polarized entity. For example, negative entities may control and repress sexual desire in order that in the practice thereof, the will of the entity may be used to enforce itself upon the other-self with greater efficiency when the sexual behaviour is allowed.

Make no mistake about it, these “Forces of Darkness”, as most of us call them, are powerful. They have equal access to the infinite powers of the universe. The aetheric fields that bind everything together in this universe is readily available to both positive and negative entities. This is something that needs to be carefully noted and pondered upon for there is no right or wrong here. The Law of One is available to ALL regardless if it is Service-to-Others or Service-to-Self.

Negative Entities or “Forces of Darkness” are those who have chosen the Service-to-Self path  and have simply used the veiling process in order to potentiate that which is not. And this is perfectly acceptable method of self-realization or and by The Creator. The One Source does not discriminate and sees both positive and negative polarity as the same for we are ALL one.

However, when the 6th density approaches, the negative entities in the 5th density is thrown into confusion. This is because graduation in the 5th density of Wisdom has to be matched with an equal amount of Love. Negative entities would at that point choose to release the negativity and leap into 6th density positive.

At that point in its evolution, the 5th density negative entity is already extremely wise and knows that loving the Creator and realizing at some point that the Creator is not only self but other-self as self, this negative entity will consciously choose an instantaneous energy re-orientation so that it can continue on its evolution. However, according to Carla Rueckert’s channelling of the Ra entity, none has successfully leaped from 5th density negative to 6th density before.

Therefore it goes without saying that choosing the positive orientation is a much easier and surer path. Despite the fact that sometimes, we may perceive it as a more difficult path but that is actually an illusion and our veiled view of circumstances.

As you can see, that which we call satanic or Forces of Darkness is but what that is lacking in Light. Those that have chosen to go down that path will eventually inevitably still merge back to positive polarity as there is no other way but to return to the One Source. However, the journey of the negative polarity entity would become more difficult the higher they get.

So the concept of Satan is not “evil”. It is just that these entities have focused on mental aspects of light and excluded the heart oriented loving light that balances Creation. As a result, this gave rise to a large group of entities known as the Luciferians. A Luciferian is anyone who embraces the cold light of rationality without also embracing the compassion and warmth of the heart. You can see remnants of the Luciferians in today’s society: Large Corporations and Big Banks devoid of any human consciousness that focuses entirely on profits at the expense of the ordinary person on the street. I'm sure all of us know a few of these.

Fortunately, Earth is Positively polarized and her ascension on to the 4th density would see these negative oriented corporations and entities be forced to become accountable for their actions and either switch towards positive or be eventually closed down or disintegrated. The energies will not sustain such negativeness.

The Pineal Gland, 3 Permanent Seeds and the 3 Silver Cords

An apple tree comes from an Apple seed. Similarly a person has inner seeds which are called Bindus in Sanskrit. Theosophist call these seeds permanent atoms. The three seeds are:

1. The Physical Permanent Seed (Seed of Life);
2. The Emotional Permanent Seed;
3. The Mental Permanent Seed (Seed of Consciousness)

The Physical Permanent Seed is located in the heart chakra and the physical heart. This is the seed that contains the design patterns of the physical body and the energy bodies of a person. One's positive and negative karma are encoded in the physical permanent seed. This Seed of Life gives life to the physical body. Once the soul's energy is withdrawn from the physical permanent seed, the body dies. This is why though in the past medical science views that a person is only dead if he/she is brain dead, now the view is changing. There is astounding cases whereby a person is brain dead but yet the body lives and they could be resuscitated. And I am not talking about nails growing.

A great yogi or a very good clairvoyant can look at your Seed of Life and read your destiny. A plan or destiny of the person is formulated between the soul and a higher being and encoded in the Seed of Life.

The Emotional Permanent Seed is found in the Solar Plexus chakra and in the liver. This Seed is responsible for the design of one's emotional body (or astral body). Everytime the body goes to sleep, the incarnated soul transfers from the physical body to the astral body. The signs that show that the incarnated soul is transferring to the astral body are like: the body may feel a strong energy vibration and simultaneously there may be an inner sound that can be loud at times. Sometimes, a buzzing sound similar to bees or a jet plane is heard. Others experience falling off the bed and are suddenly out of their bodies. The field of Lucid Dreaming has many examples of how one would go into one's astral body.

the Mental Permanent Seed or Seed of Consciousness is the most important of the three seeds and is located in the crown and the pineal gland. It contains the pattern of the mental body. Modern science is only starting to uncover the mystery that surrounds the pineal gland. The documentary "What the [bleep] do we know?" is a great documentary that touches on quantum physics and the pineal gland. 

The Seed of Consciousness also contains all the records of a person's past lives. Highly developed clairvoyants like Bishop Leadbeater can read series of past lives of anyone. In India, the Seed of Consciousness is called the "Blue Pearl". In Sufism, it is called the "Essence". The Seed of Consciousness is connected to the Higher Soul but is NOT the Higher Soul. It is like the computer terminal whereas the Higher Soul is like the mainframe. computer. Meditating on this Seed gives you access to your Higher Soul and have access to inner worlds. the teachings connected with the inner worlds are called "Knowledge of the Kingdom of Heaven" in Christian terminology. the reason the great Avatars of our time teach in parables is so that the "pearls" are given only to those who are ready for it. In this new Aquarian Age, these teachings will be revealed to the masses to the extent that they can handle.

These three Seeds mentioned above are connected to the Higher Soul through three Silver Cords, namely, you guessed it:

1. Silver Cord of Life;
2. Silver Cord of Emotion;
3. Silver Cord of Consciousness

From the Divine Spark or Monad, an energy cord called the Divine Cord extends "downwards" to the Higher Soul. From the Higher Soul, it goes down to the Incarnated Soul at the 12th Chakra above the Crown chakra. Here it is differentiated into the three silver cords of Life, Emotion and Consciousness. The Cord of Consciousness if attached to the Seed of Consciousness in the Pineal Gland. The Cord of Life is attached to the Seed of Life at the Heart chakra. And the Cord of Emotion is attached to the Emotional Seed at the solar plexus chakra. The combination of the Divine Cord and the three silver cords is called the Spiritual Cord. The spiritual cord continues down from the crown into the sushumna nadi and exits near the base of the spine down into the earth and ends several metres below the ground. This earthing is necessary in order for the incarnated soul to function on an earthly plane. When this rooting is not strong, a person will have difficulties earning money and feeding the family. The rooting also enables the body to absorb earth prana that is necessary to make the physical body healthy and strong.

Lastly but not least, there is another subtle cord, the most important of them all, the Antahkarana. Antahkarana means the Bridge of Light. This bridge is built by the incarnated soul to the Higher Soul and even towards the Divine Spark. It's purpose is to fomr a strong communication line among the incarnated soul, the higher soul, and the divine spark, thus establishing a continuous flow of consciousness between them. The antahkarana has to be rebuilt in every incarnation but those who have built theirs in a previous incarnation will be able to rebuild it faster and easier compared to those who are just starting.

The Antahkarana is the bridge of light built by the incarnated soul towards the higher soul. the Spiritual Cord is the cord of spiritual light that descends from the higher soul to the incarnated soul and then the physical body. Eventually, the antahkarana and the spiritual cord will fuse and become one.

How The West Misinterpreted The East... a long long time ago

Have anyone wondered the possibility that there has been great misinterpretations and misunderstanding between eastern religion and western religions?

Example of misinterpretation: When practitioners of eastern religions put their hand together, kneel and bow to the guru, statue of buddha (or any other deity) or whatever, are they praying? They are not. Its supposed to be an act of reverence and humility before the teacher that you as a student are ready to receive the teacher's teachings and wisdom. But when the west met the east, coupled with language and communication barriers (i.e. chicken and duck talking), they mistook it for praying like how one prays to god. It also did not make matters any better when the east took on that mis-interpretation when they adopted the west's language and medium of communication. So now, we "pray" to buddha, deity or guru. Nothing is further from the truth here.

Note: to put it in simple terms, some western monotheism religion involve praying to Jesus as GOD or the path to GOD. Again, this is a mis-interpretation. Never once did he say that he is GOD or the "gatekeeper" to GOD. But this is a subject for future writing... cheers.

What You Resist, Persist

Whatever you resist will persist, which means that whatever you passionately don't want, you are inviting to you. Put the power of your passionate emotions into what you do want, and bring those things to you.

Focus is creating. Focus with emotion is powerful creating.

Most people don't realize how much passion they put into what they don't want. When you speak to a friend and you tell them all about an "awful" situation, you are putting passion into what you don't want. When you react to an event negatively, with the response that it is "terrible," you are putting passion into what you don't want.

You are a beautiful passionate being, so make sure you direct your passion wisely.

As you defend against something in your life, you are bringing the very thing you don't want to you. Defending is focusing on the problem, and defending attracts more defending. Instead, be creative and focus all your energy on the outcome you want. Creating is focusing on the solutions.

Be creative, not defensive. Focus on the solutions, not on the problems.

The tighter you try and hold on to something that you are afraid of losing, the more you are pushing it away. Those thoughts are filled with fear, and if you continue to persist, what you fear the most will come upon you. Fear nothing - just think about what you want. It feels so much better!

This is why Mother Teresa never attended an Anti-War movement. She was Pro-peace. She knew that if she fought against war, she would be adding more energy to wars and that would help create more wars. She understood the Law of Attraction.

Master Your Thoughts

You can make your mind do what you want! If you are really serious about banishing negative thoughts and changing your life, then here is an easy process to help you. Every day without fail, write out a hundred things you are grateful for. When you do this you are taking control of your mind and making it think good thoughts. If you do this every day, you will be gaining control of your thoughts. Make a commitment to yourself to control your thoughts. When you gain control of your mind, you will be the Master of You.

The fastest way to become the Master of your thoughts and emotions is through challenging situations. If your life is going along fairly smoothly, there are not the same opportunities that enable you to strengthen your power and become the Master of your thoughts and emotions. You see, even challenges are beautiful opportunities in disguise.

When you are no longer the slave to your own emotions and thoughts - when they no longer have their way with you without your consent - you have become the master of your own being, and your entire life in the outside world will be transformed. You will be the Master of the law, you, and your life.

Ask yourself if in one day you think more positive thoughts than negative. Ask yourself if in one day you speak more words of goodness, appreciation, kindness, gratitude, and love than negative words. Ask yourself if in one day you take more actions that are based in goodness, appreciation, kindness, gratitude, and love than any other actions. In every moment of your day, there are two paths before you. Take the path of goodness, for goodness' sake.

If somebody says something negative to you, do not react. You have to get yourself to a point where you can stay calm and peaceful inside no matter what negative things happen on the outside. When you can maintain peace and joy within you despite any situation on the outside, you have become the master of everything.

You are responsible for your frequency, which is determined by your thoughts, words, feelings, and actions. As you think, speak, and act through higher thoughts of love, compassion, and goodness, your frequency goes higher and higher. Your true work in life is to keep lifting your frequency. It is the bottom line to everything, because everything in your life comes as a result of the frequency you are on. Everything!

The future is created through our past thoughts, words, and actions. The future is the reaping of the seeds that we have sown in the past, whether those seeds are good or bad. Each sustained thought, every word we utter, and every action we take is a seed we will reap in our future. To create a beautiful future, make as many of your thoughts as possible good ones, speak good and kind words, and make sure your actions come from goodness.

Your future depends upon it.

The Importance of Owning Your Personal Power - Our Sub-conscious and conscious minds

All of us have 3 types of consciousness: The Super-conscious mind, the Conscious mind, and the sub-conscious mind. The super-conscious mind is akin to our higher self, the all-knowing mind. The conscious mind is our reasoning mind. The sub-conscious mind is the non-reasoning mind.

Our sub-conscious mind is an information store (or memory bank if you prefer) containing all our thoughts, emotions, imaginations, habits, patterns, impulses and desires. It has been programmed by our environment, people we come in contact with, the media etc since the day we were born. As children, we were already poisoned from small with faulty thinking and faulty beliefs. All parents are guilty to different degree of this, not by conscious choice, but by their own sub-conscious too. So, just as the body can be filled with physical toxins from poor eating and abuse, the sub-conscious is filled with mental toxins from improper programming and education.

And the thing about the sub-conscious mind is that it is as happy to destroy the body as it is to create perfect health. It will create whatever it has been programmed to do. No one consciously destroys themselves, but many people unconsciously program diseases into their bodies with self-hatred, victim syndrome, revenge, depression etc. The idea is that we should consciously tell our sub-conscious minds constantly that we are in perfect radiant health and that every day we are getting healthier and healthier.

From the Law of Attraction, we know that what we focus on, we become. So those of us who talk a lot about making money, makes the most money. Conversely, those of us who talk a lot about the lack of money, always have to struggle for money.

It is probable that the sub-conscious mind is where the Law of Attraction operates. The sub-conscious mind is continually attracting and repelling things to and from us according to what it has been programmed to do. Therefore, it follows that a master would use this law via affirmation and visualization to his own conscious benefit.

The sub-conscious mind is also the seat of our psychic abilities. All human beings have psychic abilities. It is just either latent or awakened to varying degrees. We have 5 senses. The sixth sense is what most people associate with psychic abilities. Not true. The “sixth sense” is actually 5 corresponding inner senses to our 5 physical senses of sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch. They are inner sight (clairvoyance), inner hearing (clairaudience), inner smell, inner taste, and inner touch.

The best proof of these 5 psychic abilities is when we dream. I am sure some of you would have noticed that in your dream, you have 5 senses available to you while you sleep. How is this possible if you are physically asleep? You are using the 5 inner senses of your sub-conscious mind. Everyone has psychic abilities and we can all develop it further. It requires proper training and practice just like any other skill. There are schools who teach the use of these abilities and they have become quite common place now compared to a few decades ago.

Anyway... the key function of the conscious mind is to be the driver of the sub-conscious mind. Unfortunately, most people let their sub-conscious take control of their lives. In Buddhist terms, it is akin to letting their ego take charge of their lives. And this creates a lot of problems for us.

Even when we say we want to change, after going for some personal development program and coming out on a high note, very often, we end up going back to our default mode which is letting the sub-conscious run our lives. Look at it this way... Think of it as an iceberg. Only 1/3 of an iceberg is above water whereas the bulk of it is submerged. The submerged part is like our sub-conscious mind while the part above water is the conscious mind. So even if we say we want to go in a certain direction, we end up going another direction, the direction that our sub-conscious mind is programmed to move in.

The first key to change would of course be awareness of our patterns. By being aware, we are “pushing” the water level down and we then can make a conscious effort to catch ourselves when old patterns repeat. It is said that it takes 21 days to make something into a habit.

Psychological health is the process of letting into your mind only the positive spiritually balanced thoughts. Just like if we want to be physically healthy we put healthful food into our bodies, we need to put good healthful thoughts into our minds if we want to be psychologically healthy. By disregarding negative thoughts (not pushing it away) and letting go of it, we are not giving them energy. Eventually, like a plant that is not watered, the negative thoughts would die off from lack of attention and focus. In its place, we will keep affirming positive thoughts or spiritual thoughts. By continuing the process over 21 days a new positive habit can be formed in place of the old negative habit.

Always remember that if you do not take ownership and responsibility of your sub-conscious mind, your sub-conscious mind or other people will run your life. It is always ideal to be the cause, creator and master of your own life.

When circumstances or someone attacks use psychologically or psychically, you can protect yourself by visualizing a golden bubble shield encompassing you and protecting you. Any negative energies directed towards you hits this bubble shield and slides off like water off a duck’s back. You can even imagine it bouncing off like rubber pillow. You make a conscious effort or choice not to let it into your sub-conscious mind. However, it is important to note here that this bubble needs to be semi-permeable and allows positive energies in but keeps out negative energies. Your intention is important in this aspect in order to make the bubble shield strong.

Sometimes, it is not possible to protect yourself with the shield especially if you are in a room full of negative people throwing negative vibes at each other unless you are very powerful spiritually (or are a powerful healer). In such circumstances, it is better to just leave the room. No one is responsible for your own psychological well being other than yourself. If leaving the room is not possible, then do need to watch yourself to make sure you do not react to them and maintain your inner core’s stillness. You can respond by choosing how you want to deal with the incoming negative energy. But do not react to it because reacting would be to let it in to your sub-conscious.

One of the best metaphors I have read is likening psychological health to physical health. If a person you know catches a cold or the flu, you certainly don’t want to get it. You do everything in your power not to get it. You stay away from that person. You take extra Vitamin C. You tell yourself you are not going to get sick. You eat well and try to get enough sleep. In other words, you build up your resistance. If you keep your resistance up you don’t get sick. Doctors and nurses don’t get all the sicknesses of their patients. How come? The reason is that there is no such thing as a contagious disease. There are only people with “low resistance”. This analogy is exactly the same on the psychological level. There is no such thing as a contagious psychological disease. There are only people with low psychological resistance.

The protective bubble shield is one technique. Another is maintaining one’s personal power. There are other ways but I’ll not delve into them here. We are here in this world to set a better example for others. We are here to bring people up, not let ourselves be sucked down.

We will now look at Personal Power.

What is Personal Power? Personal Power is Personal Will is the guiding force of a healthy personality. It is first and foremost an attitude. We can choose to hold an attitude of weakness or strength every single day from start to end. Your power is the energy that you use to enforce your decisions.

Say for example you decided to wash the car at 6pm. When 6 pm comes, do you wash your car as you have committed to do or do you push it to another time? This power is also needed to control your sub-conscious mind. Your sub-conscious mind will push you around unless you own your own personal power. That means your conscious mind’s enforcer is your personal power. It is that energy that your conscious mind musters to command and direct that personality.

One cannot be a master of one’s own life if one lacks personal power. Let alone help others.

Many personal development gurus have advocated that everyone find their own personal power to take charge of their own lives. We all have personal power. It is whether we choose to use it or not. Some forms of yoga teaches that life is not only a school but also a battlefield whereby progress means taking three steps forward and taking two steps backwards until the top of the mountain is reached. People who own their own personal power will never quit.

Your personal power is required to even keep your bubble shield strong and impregnable. The moment you waiver, it collapses. By using your personal power for long periods of time, you will eventually develop discipline. Owning your personal power will allow your conscious mind to stay in control and not be overwhelmed by your sub-conscious mind nor the environment.

You need not be afraid of your own personal power even if you are a wilful person. Why? Because you are only going to use it to serve yourself and the people around you in a loving way. You will feel good when you maintain that power with you. And we must own our power if we are to create our own realities all the time instead of being a victim of circumstances.

You can claim your personal power every morning, the moment you get up, by choosing to affirm in your mind that you have it. Therefore, every morning, when you get up, claim your power and commit to yourself by becoming the master of your own life.

What are Dark Forces aka Forces of Darkness?

It is our need to identify with the form and our need to categorize things that result in us labelling certain groups as Dark Forces. Let’s us state once and for all that the so called “Dark Forces” that we are so fixated with are an illusion. There is no such thing as Dark Forces. Instead, what it really is, is varying degrees or gradation of Light. We are all Light Beings. None exempted. However, each of us has varying gradation of Light. So the so called Dark Forces are actually groups of beings who are very lacking in Light and thus called “dark”. They are dark because they themselves have denied themselves light, whether consciously or unconsciously. 

And because they are lacking in Light, they need to get it from others. And over the millions of years, such dimly lit souls have indeed wreak havoc. They live in a world of illusions, spun by dreams of fear and hatred. And because they continue to believe in this nightmare (which they may actually like), the nightmare continues in one form or another. 

How is it possible that they like the nightmares that they live in? Consider this paradigm. We all have desires. When we achieve or obtain what we want, we feel happy (or bliss) don’t we? When we are happy, we are filled with energy. We are on a “high”. The “Light” shines from your face. There is a bounce in your step. However, conversely, when we do not get what we desire, we feel down, especially after trying very hard to obtain it. Basically, when we are depressed, our energy levels are down. That bounce in your feet is gone. The “Light” does not shine from your face. 

For simplicity, let us just call these dimly lit souls, “negative entities”. These entities cannot exist without some light, but because they believe they have little or none of their own, darkness becomes their reality. Seeing darkness, yet needing light (as all creations do), their modus operandi is to take light from others. It seems entities can temporarily elevate themselves by snatching energy from others. They may take energetically or in the many physical forms that we also identify with: Power, material stuff, sexual gratification etc. 

So now if u also understand that light is all there is. We (soul) are light beings...There is abundance in the universe. Therefore if you are filled with abundant light, does it matter if some entity wants to take your light? If we raise our awareness high enough, negative entities cannot possibly snatch from us because there is an infinite flow through us at all times. 

As Sal Rachele said, “The so-called dark forces exist because we give them power. If we deny their existence, we inadvertently give them power. This is because denial of anything means denial of light, because light is everything. When we are in denial, we enter a lower level of light and are therefore susceptible to energy-snatching by negative entities. By shining our inner light on the illusory nature of negativity, the entities are dispelled. This is because they either absorb the light of our awareness and move out of negativity, or they recoil from us because the light overwhelms them and they are choosing to remain in darkness. 

If enough people raise their awareness beyond the 4th dimension, the negative entities will be forced to find another planet more suited to their macabre tastes.”

This is a powerful concept for blessing unconditionally. You can alleviate others in your presence. So if you can grasp this it will change the way you think.

The thing about Prophecies

According to Wikipedia: 
“Prophecy is a process in which one or more messages that have been communicated to a prophet are then communicated to others. Such messages typically involve divine inspiration, interpretation, or revelation of conditioned events to come (cf. divine knowledge) as well as testimonies or repeated revelations that the world is divine. The process of prophecy especially involves reciprocal communication of the prophet with the (divine) source of the messages.

Various concepts of prophecy are found throughout all of the world's religions and cults. To a certain degree prophecy can be an integral concept within any religion or cult. The term has found deep usage in two of the world's largest religious groups, Christianity and Islam, along with many others.”

Channeling (via Mediumship) is defined as "the practice of certain people—known as mediums—to mediate communication between spirits of the dead and other human beings. While no evidence has been accepted by the scientific community in support of the view that there has been communication between the living and the dead, some parapsychologists say that some of their research suggests that such communication may have taken place. The practice is associated with several religious belief systems such as Spiritualism, Spiritism, Espiritismo, Candomblé, Voodoo, Umbanda and some New Age groups."

Prophecy has to do with world events or macro scale matters while channelling is more micro i.e. for the individual. However, both are essentially similar. I have written something on Channeling andmediumship a while ago so I’ll just look at Prophecies now. Some prophecies have come true while others never did hence many things have been said both in support and to debunk prophecies.

So let us, for now, put the subject of prophecies aside for the moment and look at Role-Playing Games (RPGs). Those of us who grew up playing Dungeons & Dragons (or other RPGs) would remember that we have a Dungeon Master who narrate and guide the game and we have the multi players who take up roles as fighter, magician, cleric, paladin, thief, elves or dwarfs. The players role-play their characters on adventures set up by the Dungeon Master. They decide at each cross road what action or direction to take. Different actions and directions lead to completely different outcomes including death to some of the characters. But there are also some outcomes that are already pre-set meaning no matter what actions or directions the team takes, it will still happen. For those of you who do not remember this type of RPGs, another analogy would be computer role playing games where all the potential moves in the game and all possible outcomes have already been programmed into the DVD(s). Similarly you as the player decides what action and direction and that in turns determine the outcome.

Now coming back to Prophecies, how is that related? A prophecy is essentially a potential outcome based on humanity’s direction and vibration at the point in time when the prophecy is made. Our collective decisions on how to move forward would determine if the prophecies come true at the stated time, earlier time, later time, or not at all. The same goes for prophecies that are written down in Holy Scriptures and Holy Books. They need not come true. They are essentially messages or warnings (for negative events) of things to come if we continue down the same path.

Therefore, when a “good” prophecy comes true, it means we have hit a milestone in our collective evolution. When a “bad” prophecy comes true, it means that we have not done enough to avoid the disaster despite being warned about it. And that is not something to be proud of or to feel religiously vindicated or to place the blame on any groups of people. No, the buck stops with each and every one of us. You are the rest of humanity. It falls on each and every one of us to do our part to make this world a better place to live in. While everything is perfect in the eyes of God with all events already played out in the universe, our vibration and collective consciousness direction determines which “reality” in the multi-dimensional space time continuum that we experience on this planet and universe. Too deep? That’s fine, you’re normal. If you understood that to the Tee, you would be God already. It is sufficient to know that if a particular prophecy is not something we would want to happen, then we all need to shift the direction we are headed in order to avoid that prophecy from coming true. The gist of it is this... All prophecies can be avoided unless it is of Divine Intervention.

How then do we know if a Prophecy is Divine Intervention with no way of avoiding or it is a warning of things to come? Coming back to what we know of God (or the Surpreme Being). God is all loving, all compassionate. God does not need us to do anything for Him. God is omni-everything. God is perfection. To suggest that God would punish us with a calamity because we do not follow any rules that He has laid for us is to suggest that He is less than perfect. This would mean that that God is in actuality a lesser god and not the Surpreme Being or One Source. Therefore, with this as our guiding principal (amongst others), prophecies of impending disaster become mere warnings of what can happen IF we do not get our act together.

Therefore while most religions state that there is a coming Golden Age, some religion also state that there would be judgement day when all non-believers would face judgement etc. This has been misinterpreted by scholars over the millennia with tunnel vision. Interpretations of prophecies cannot be made in face value especially if they are in parables. A parable can have many layers to its meaning. In actuality, what will play out in the coming years will be determined by the choices we make now. Right now there are many battles going on around the world, both seen and unseen. Do we succumb to draconian laws seeking to control? Do we close our eyes and plead ignorance? Or do we collectively choose to exercise people power coming from love and compassion? People power does not necessarily mean mass protest. 

From the Law of Attraction, we know that what we push against comes running straight at us full force. So by using the Law of Attraction, we can use peaceful means like the ballot box, boycotts by using alternatives, or instead of being anti-someone, just focusing on the opponent. The old order’s energy or vibration will not jive or fit with the new energies that are already coming in and peaking in the coming years. To accelerate the process of change, each of us, in all aspects of our lives, should consciously make a higher choice coming from love and compassion. If we have been practicing the negative egocentric decision making process, it would admittedly take some effort to change. But hey... better late than never. What’s not ok is not wanting to change. That may well put us in danger of being wiped out and sent to another planet to continue our soul lessons there once the Earth completes the Ascension process.

It must be stated here that I do not believe that we need to have 100% of the people to achieve critical mass. There is always the Pareto principle of 80-20. In other words, I strongly believe that all it takes is enough of us to choose higher principals, grow and have higher "vibration" i.e. choosing higher choices that of love and compassion and a critical mass will be achieved and the reality that will play out would be that of any impending disaster is avoided. 

Allow me to give a scenario here:

Assuming that we collectively as a race (humans on Earth) choose lower choices i.e. War, dogma, my way of the highway etc. Then the reality that will most likely come true would be that of the New World Order (NWO) Police State. However, Earth is evolving not devolving. Thus the mismatch in frequency cannot be allowed to happen. So for all we know perhaps a comet or something might just brush past us close enough to cause major disasters or mass immune system failures etc. Many humans would then probably just die off and reincarnate in another 3rd Dimension planet similar to Earth to continue their soul lessons.

However, assuming on average we choose higher choices of love, compassion, justicem equality for all, then a likely scenario that would play out would be that of a Golden Age NWO of justice, love, compassion etc. If there is a celestial body on its way to Earth and brush past us, it will still do so but probably the net effect would be lesser i.e. perhaps only those humans who stubbornly refuse to let go of their ego will experience immune system failure or etc and reincarnate in another planet suited for them. While the rest of us would remain here on New Earth. We may even start to get visits, official visits, from our celestial cousins ala Star Trek style. Some Earhtly humans who have consistently worked on themselves for lifetimes may even ascend to higher vibrations like 5th dimension and above.

Personally I do not believe that 2012 will mark the end of the world. I find it very difficult to believe that our celestial cousins who have been protecting us for thousands of years (perhaps even longer if you add Atlantis, Lemuria etc into the count) are protecting us from outside intrusions all this while just so that we can be destroyed later. I do not believe that is on the cards. Cayce have even seen to the 3Xth century if I recall correctly. So fret not, we're going to be around for some time. And we will eventually be helping other worlds to grow on the same path as we are on now. But that's another story for another time... :-) 

So come 2013, as J V Hart (script writer fro "Contact") said in, I know I won't be buried under water by some catastrophic event. I'll instead be basking in the new era and looking forward to the multitude of good tidings that would last for the next few years (or decades to come) as "barriers" are torn down worldwide in this new Golden Age.
