My Today

For well over a year now, my spirituality has expanded into visions of energy, connectedness and formlessness. I've moved beyond the illusion and see perfection in all that is. Being in the present has become much easier and sometimes without effort. Though seeing god and divinity in all people has always been with me, it is so strong sometimes now that I cry. I've felt deep within my soul the unconditional love that is the divine and know that grace and love are abundant and always, always with me and the world. We are all god and we are all one. I've always had a spirituality about me as others have stated to me but am now fully consumed with this divinely given knowing. I am aware and know that I can never return to the semi-sleep state of which I once wandered.
I am aware, too, that not all are on this same path nor are aware of their divinity. This doesn't mean that I am any better off than them but that my soul chose to know beyond the illusion at this time. It is beautiful to feel the acceptance of my path and the place of others as sheer perfection. We are all truly and ultimately exactly where we should be on our individual and collective journeys.
Being rather new to the full vision and knowledge, I sometimes find myself plugged back in to the human emotions and feelings that I now associate with my ego. The "stories" I tell myself create a separation from my source and my fellows that is absolutely unbearable after being and sitting in the light for this time. Though the instances of this are less frequent and the duration short, I still feel the angst of my human mind "creations". I realize that something inside of me is still choosing to feel these things and listen to the stories. I know only to remain as plugged in to my source, my divine, my god as much and more than ever. To re-member the truth and surround myself with things and people who help me to re-member my divinity and my light proves to help me through the unplugged times as well. I am learning to not judge myself for these instances and to realize that even in these times of self created separation, all is as is should be.
As I continue to just sit, to just know, to accept and breath in my divinity my vision grows stronger. The love and connectedness consume me again (or at least I fully re-member it again) and my eyes open again not to what is not but instead to ALL THAT IS.
Today my divine gave me this sunset and I cried tears of love and truth. Oh, the peace when I am one with my source and all that is. What peace indeed.

Surrender As Transcendence Of Duality

Anxiety is at every foot step
for those who are attached
and glued to their learned
and unlearned opinions on the Absolute Truth.

Haunted by memories of how things should be,
the consciousness of transcendence
is in surrendering to what is beyond
the ephemeral clouds of knowledge.

The goal of spiritual life
is not to become spiritually advanced
but to recognize that the only one
who is spiritually advanced is the Lord.

When faith is mixed with doubt
and doubt is mixed with disbelief,
the living entity’s mind is run by
uncertainty and a decrepit
understanding of the Absolute Truth.

Surrendering to the desire
of becoming surrendered,
the suffering that is born of hesitation
finally rests and simmers out of perceptible existence.

Sectarianism being a byproduct
of the Absolute Truth,
surrendering to universalism
is the best option available
since the Absolute Truth takes
no sides on any matter.

Easily swayed over
by many wise utterances,
true wisdom is in not
knowing anything at all.

Eternally empty of all understanding,
disputes over who is who
and what is what
are of little concern
to a self surrendered devotee.

Having the Absolute Truth
by admitting that what is
Absolute is Absolute,
unmotivated devotional service
floods every gate of your senses
with pure and pristine realizations of the Self.

Surrendered to a non dual substance,
which is the Absolute Truth,
the duality of belief and understanding
is crossed over by a heart
that is unconditionally self realized.

For the self realized,
being self realized is not all that important
since the Absolute Truth does
not know of such a thing as self realization.

Eternally humble before the
residents of the cosmos,
a devotee is content with
whatever position is
given over to the soul.

Whether in duality or in non duality,
the devotee’s mind is
always dualistically fixed
on the non dualistic position of the Lord.

No longer spirit and no longer matter,
this surrendered faith
is the sweetness of a radiant rose.

Never transcending transcendence,
I offer my full obeisances to the
Supreme Personality of Godhead;
who exemplifies the Absolute Truth
in its fullest potential.

Never outdoing or outsmarting the Lord,
the Lord is never my foot stool
or my armchair; but I am His.

Mercifully sitting in my foot stool
of a heart, the Lord remains
entertained by my jokes
and self surrendered sense of humor.

Cracking one joke after another,
the Lord laughs because He
knows that He is the only doer.

Every expansion of energy being Him,
but in minute proportion,
the Absolute Truth is Absolute
even when in a non absolute living entity.

Never tired and never worn out,
the Truth of the Lord’s Nature
is the only Truth worth relishing.

Whether it takes one second
or one million years,
surrendering to a self surrendered devotee
is what makes all of these truths comprehensible.

Even if still not comprehensible,
associating with such a soul
is better than associating with the Lord;
for the devotee easily forgives
the crudeness of our being.

Slapped about by Maya’s hand,
o Lord, I am Yours;
for You have made Yourself
available to a soul like me.

Your Daily Reading: “Living Wide Awake™” Organizing for the Future 1-5-13

Take it easy, as the influences today relate to health issues and loss of work.
Not meaning illness or loss of work is inevitable; just that this influence is there.
So be aware of your health and safeguard it.
Loss of work may imply a shortened day, and/or less work to do and an opportunity to do other things.
Opposing Energies: resistance to change, negative attitudes
Other influences are that closure is occurring with a key issue in your life.
Avoidance of negative attitudes is helpful in your achieving closure.
Wide Awake Words™ for today: change, improvements, personal growth
Think of it this way: You’re clearing out and cleaning up to begin something new.
An example of both the influences of health and closure: You’re changing a negative health habit to regain better health and keep your down time to a minimum.
Also, eliminating a key issue in your life transforms your attitude, work and health.
Making long range plans today, incorporating new knowledge and organizing for the future brings settled feelings.
Peace.

The 5 Steps to Experiencing Bliss
By Jafree Ozwald
www.EnlightenedBeings.com

The key to complete liberation in your lifetime boils down to one simple thing. Learning how to keep your mind's attention on what you want, and keeping it off of what you don't want. The longer you can hold your attention on the feeling of bliss, the more often bliss-filed experiences manifest into your world. Bliss is always found in the last place you'd think to look, and for that reason very few discover it. The greatest thing of all is that this awesome experience can be found within you now, and you don't have to do anything or go anywhere else to find it.

The greatest bliss within you now is found in that place which has no boundaries, no rules, no fears, personal agendas or agreements with anyone. It simply appreciates everyone and everything exactly as it is. It unconditionally loves and accepts life as it is. It is always in a state of total appreciation. This bliss comes from a love that is always abundant, generous, giving of itself and effortlessly feeling the natural positivity of life. It is a selfless love that is not perpetually desiring this or that, but rather is perpetually giving itself away. With all that said, the intrinsic value you'll receive through tasting even just a few seconds of bliss is soooo amazing, that it's not something you can even put into words.

If the state of ecstatic bliss feels too intangible and other worldly to grasp because you have too many "real life" issues in the way such as paying off your debt, bills, health issues, car problems, childhood trauma, or just showing up on time for work, please do not be concerned. There are steps you can take to uncover this divinely magical energy inside you! Bliss is a state of mind that is instantly found when we've fully released what was once tight or heavy inside ourselves and shift into a constant state of expansion and joy.

The spiritual path is the path of lightness, where your main job is to welcome each experience of life, then go beyond every thought, desire, judgment, sensation and experience that passes through you. Believe it or not but you signed up to have major blissful feelings in this lifetime. You wouldn't be reading this article if you weren't ready for it either. It's as if you've been in training, carrying a load of rocks in your backpack up a treacherous mountain, and now you get to unload them all and enjoy the journey back home. The heavy negative life experiences you've had in the past were JUST so that it could have the experience of letting them go and feel the pure lightness, weightlessness and joy that comes when they are gone.

Your inner bliss can be revealed in a matter of minutes if you're willing to do some deep self-exploration and let go of everything that is weighing heavy on your mind. When you deeply let go of any lofty or lowly ideas about your life's purpose or personal agenda, and have released that all too critical mindset about yourself, the mind instantly becomes lighter and more free. This expansive spacious mind is the only welcome mat that can handle this infinitely expanding happy loving feeling. When your mind is truly empty, the Universe takes this as a sign that you're ready to receive this divine experience and graces you with bliss.

Below are the 5 secret steps that will empower you to find bliss wherever you are, no matter who you think you are, or what life situation you may be in.

Step #1 Accept Yourself As You Are. If you want to find the greatest divine bliss inside you tonight, the first and perhaps most important step is to start with accepting yourself and your life exactly the way it is right now. Don't think about what you need to change, improve and get rid of to make you or your life better. Just start with accepting everything inside you exactly the way it is, and know that within this feeling of self acceptance is self-love, which is the greatest gift you can give YOU!

By deeply accepting yourself it becomes easy to slip into appreciating yourself, and you soon begin to see all your opportunities for growth (problems) as exciting adventures to explore! Flipping on the self-acceptance switch as often as you can will light the pathway to bliss as the love you let in will advance your soul "light years" on your inner world. Self acceptance is the first essential key to get your happy engines spinning and start blasting open the door to bliss inside.



Step #2 Release your Addiction to Suffering. Whether you want to admit it or not, on some unconscious level some part of you is addicted to suffering. Now addiction may be a strong word here, yet it is essential to see the repetitive patterns you've created within you that create perpetual struggle, strife and mental/emotional challenges on your inner world. The thoughts that your mind constantly thinks about and can never find peace with are your biggest addictions to suffering. Worries, fears, insecurities and judgments create a majority of the internal battles and self-sabotaging patterns that people can experience hourly. These suffering habits tend to be very sneaky, and are often the main reason why most people believe they cannot enter this ideal state of bliss. Once you've looked inside yourself, come to know yourself and identified what your habit is, you can transcend it. The moment you do you'll find yourself slipping down the slope of joy...and ohh what a ride it is!

Something you may find interesting is that 99% of our worries never come true, and the ones that did manifest were karmically unavoidable. They say worrying is praying for what you don't want, and basically its just negative thinking about the future. The worrying habit is often the hardest habit to overcome, yet can be easily transcended once the mind stops believing that holding onto these vital concerns are key ingredients to maintaining a successful life. Once you are conscious in each moment that each one of your thoughts manifest into your life, you can only think positively about yourself, the future, and you start to feel like a living breathing success! As you realize how this habit is merely an unconscious addiction that keeps you powerless and irresponsible for your divine manifesting power within, you will completely release this pattern of suffering and try out something new.

Step #3 Release your Attachment to Being Happy. You may not realize how much suffering is created by being attached to having to always be happy, and doing things that make you happy. What would happen if no action, event, person, or thing in your outer world created happiness for you anymore? Where would you find happiness? The key to finding real joy is never in anything "out there", especially all your ideas about how your life should unfold. The greatest secret to finding happiness is diving into your inner world and finding total peace with the real YOU! When you are no longer attached to anything or anyone in the outer world making you happy, you take the reigns back on your life and can find pure joy inside your soul wherever you are.

One key element to unleashing the immense joy inside you is learning how to relax your body deeply and completely while maintaining present moment awareness. This means your body is relaxed, yet your mind is vigilantly alert and watching what is showing up without getting identified. Simply take a few minutes to stop doing those things you think will one day make you happy, and just practice relaxing your body completely. Try it! Rest fully into the very center of your heart, letting go into the very center of your being, and you'll find total equanimity in your mind.

It is a law of nature that you cannot live in worry, negativity or fear when your body is physically at peace. When every tiny muscle is relaxed and completely still, every concern, fear, worry and negative thought will have disappeared from your mind. The mind and body behave as one unit, and when your body is at peace, you'll instantly drop any attachment you have to how your life should be, or how your friends, family, work, money, and all those things which are "responsible" for making you happy.

The more you can master the experience of living in a relaxed body 24 hours a day, the more impossible it becomes to getting attached to anything in the outer world for making you happy. When you start to abide in this divine infinite realm of loving energy inside you, you'll wonder why were you ever searching for it out there. The day you discover this profound inner peace in the most stressful, boring or ordinary situations in your life, you'll become a HUGE ball of peace, love, joy and bliss!

Step #4 Let Go of The Mind's Perpetual Efforting. When you have completely stopped making any effort to resist negative thinking, and released that unending push towards positive thinking, that is the same day that bliss will find you. When you can sit back and watch the mind without being involved, eventually in time it will give up its perpetual struggle. By making the simple choice to back off from your inner "thinker" and step back, below or behind these thoughts, you become the overriding master of your mind.

It's ironic, yet the bliss we are all seeking is first initiated through the mind's imagination, yet is truly discovered when you let go of the mind completely. The lightest and highest feeling of bliss cannot be found through forming any one thought or belief with your mind. That would narrow and squeeze your mind's experience of life even tighter (like caffeine does) and not allow these cosmic blissful sensations the room they need to enter. True bliss is only found through divine openness and receptivity. When you are 100% free from all the ridiculous efforting of the mind, having no attachments to any agenda it forms, no attachment to any desires or disposition, you will fall into a deeply relaxed and sweet heavenly trusting space with life and bliss will take over you.

There are moments in everyone's life where we get a glimpse of this succulent, spacious, peaceful place inside our mind. Yet, you'll notice that in this space the mind is no where to be found and you feel even more conscious, alive, aware, and awake. This is the experience of your very essence, your innermost nature... the soul that you are! The feeling is sooo pleasant that you don't want to form any desire or agenda for that would create too much pain. This spacious place is where your real freedom abides. It allows you to be free of the mind moving backwards or forwards in time, because when you're in bliss you have no fear, no worries or memories to deal with. When this grounded spaciousness finds you, you will be arriving in the beloved land of bliss. It is an experience that is meant for those who are ready and willing to be touched by the Divine.

Step #5 Quiet your Mind and Completely Be Still. When you have fully emptied your inner container of plans, agendas, fears, worries, concerns, and positive thinking your brain may not know what to do with itself. It will most likely try to reform some random idea to hold onto to give it some stability. When your body is deeply relaxed and your mind is truly empty, make the golden pillar of your life total silence and stillness. When you reach the mountain peak of consciousness everything is divinely still. These profoundly quiet moments within instantly pave fresh new neuronal pathways in your brain for having many more blissed-out experiences of life.

To arrive at complete stillness, it takes outrageous courage. You must have vigilance with the mind, the strength to hold on to stillness when you cannot, and the trust to let go of the process all at the same time. By deeply trusting everything that shows up when you venture into the unknown empty zone of no-mind, this totally quiet and profound stillness will pour into you. The more time you spend in stillness, then bliss has to become your ordinary mode of operation. The first time it happens you may be able to handle it for a few minutes, yet with practice you'll get better at it. When you can hang for a few hours in this cosmic space it will totally alter your life (and everybody else's life that you know) forever in the most positive ways.

As you discover that your real work here on Earth is not "out there" yet finding the pathway to bliss within, all 5 of these steps will naturally unfold for you. The greatest experience of your lifetime is being filled with bliss all day and night long. Just open your mind to this possibility, follow the 5 steps above and you'll soon find it start seeping in. The experience of complete bliss is your soul's destiny. Why make up some ridiculous reason that you don't deserve it? You are a mixture of both human and divine, and so it is your divine right to own this joyous sensation. You'll see, keep pondering over these 5 steps and you will discover total bliss sooner than later.

GYPSY PILGRIMAGE

We are on the road. It is both peaceful and lively to be together. And there is a magic in the motion of many with honest and open hearts. We are many, but not all. More are passing by, fixated on fleeing, and the faster they make the distance of escape, vanishing between points of x and y and z, the better. They long to arrive and arriving they depart again.

But what is their speed to us, who are in the trance of lingering and the slow, gyrating dance of belonging? We have scarcely any part in their departing, other than to say they could have stayed, they can, they could be here among us, make themselves welcome—we are the same. They can return.

Over that horizon, as the sun moves, is a meadow. And gypsies of the cosmos are gathering in that blissful place. Are we not also of those caravans and tribes? Meadow flowers are all about, both on the ground and in the air. Flowers proclaim the value of time-upsetting celebrations. And angles—not those intimate in cradles of our souls, but the mirroring ones—are steadily descending. They come to play with children and to listen to the crackling memories of the old. How wondrous and how precious to be alive, to experience breath and freedom, and to smell and taste the sweet and pungent spices of desire!

Tell me freely—if you will and should, if you are both jester and prayer-maker, if you are awake to see that I am lost in the abundance of these friendships—tell me this: Is it only a dream to believe that peace is possible; even on a planet overpopulated by ghosts of war; and that this depleted Earth can be restored, the wounded healed, the diminished replenished, the misshapen lifted into shining and the broken, who hold their pieces in lonely hands, brought once—once into wholeness?

Say please, and if your response is “yes” and yet you smile, sharing with my eyes the tender glow of mortal beauty, I will hold your yes and smile within my heart, this aching treasure-urn of repentance and of joy.

Then let us light our fires, stand in rings, and talk of courage, and dream together yet awhile, until we have made the better of our good dreams come true and blessed the meadow of our meeting with the common feast of earthen presence and adoration. There the flowers, fragrant and alive with colors, shall not bruise us, our footsteps being naked reverence and our bodies, in the purple aura of humility, shaping some gentle weather of human glory.

There in that morning’s robes of pilgrimage I do believe—I must—the dove of now will descent unto us and find a home. What lost speech in that eternal-moment might become a festival for all in hallelujah, prayer, and gypsy song?

Predictions 2013 by Laura Kryshtar

2013: THE EMPEROR
There is no truce in 2013. It is a year to take charge of our lives and build our own destiny. We pull up our sleeves and work hard to make our dreams come true. The time to dream is over. It’s time to make it happen. Only through effort, discipline and hard work we’ll be able to achieve what we want. The results will be in proportion with the effort we put to fight for our desires. Leadership, managing people towards a common goal, and the control of our emotions to avoid them to control ourselves will be important skills to learn and develop this year. We must judge fairly, sensibly, and reasonably which projects and relationships are worth of our time and effort. We must eliminate what doesn’t work and keep what does, what is useful and productive. If we don’t take action and wait for others to solve our problems, we won’t accomplish anything. Many will move to a foreign country or fly away from the nest to conquer new horizons without forgetting their roots. Any business ventures that guarantee a positive impact in society will be favorable, earning recognition and positive reputation. Those who use their authority wisely and sensibly will influence and reconfirm their social position. Those who abuse of their power will loose thier position publicly, damaging irreversibly their reputation and image. We will be under the public eye constantly. We will have a unique opportunity to show what we’re made of by overcoming both our own expectations and others’. It is in our hands to make of 2013 a productive and unforgettable year. We have in our hands the key that opens all the doors and time is on our side. Let’s not waste this chance to trace our own path and the path to the world that we want to create.

ARIES (March 20 - April 19)
In 2013 you’ll be more confident than ever. The people that supports you is the people that loves you. Many will find their perfect partner. Those who already have it will strengthen their relationship. Follow your intuition and your passions. Fall in love with your life and what you do. Be thankful of your good fortune. This year, keep focused, define your goals, and go after them. You will succeed as long as you keep a balance between work and play. Victory awaits.

TAURUS (April 20 - May 19)
In your unending search for love and stability, you’ll discover in 2013 your values and your self-love. Holding on to work and to do the same everyday doesn’t give you a stable ground. Take a look at your reality, work hard for your dreams, and strengthen the love for your partner. Fight for what really matters. You will have to leave behind loved ones, things, places or situations you love to start your way towards your goals. Do not let indecision to stop you. Obstacles exist only in your mind. Look for a mentor, go back to school, or follow a structured plan to get results.

GEMINI (May 20 - June 20)
2013 brings life in abundance. Your financial situation gets exponentially better because of the achievements in your career. Good fortune surprises you every now and then. Enjoy the moment. Travel and new business ventures to conquer new horizons are on their way. You’ll go far if you do it on your own. Other people distract you. Keep focused and reaffirm your worth. Choose well your goals and your friends.

CANCER (June 21 - July 21)
2013 is your happiest year. Love and romance are in the air. Your sixth sense will develop even more. Accept your feminine side, that fertile, mysterious side that awakens your creativity. Any artistic project will be favored this year, as well as pregnancies and romantic relationships. You’ll feel emotionally confident with your inner peace and your inner being. Many will establish a happy home and will enjoy family life.

LEO (July 22 - August 22)
A year of abundance and harvest awaits in 2013. There will be weddings, children, new businesses that materialize and prosper. There is no lack of protectors and investors and you’ll share your abundance with humanitarian causes. You may suffer some losses on the way and you have to work very hard but you’ll achieve stability in your job, important positions, and infinite knowledge.

VIRGO (August 23 - September 21)
2013 will change the course of your life. You will discover your true essence and you’ll be happy being different. You must innovate, explore, and experiment. If everyone calls you crazy, it is an indication of being in the right path. You can see what others can’t and you bring the future to the present. Don’t be afraid. You have all the tools to succeed. Nothing is impossible to you. Big changes in your life this year will lead the way towards your future. Anything that doesn’t work for you anymore is out of your life.

LIBRA (September 22 - October 21)
Even though you suffer economically and emotionally in the beginning of 2013, new paths in your career and business changes everything. You set new goals and, although it might feel like you’re starting from zero and that you’re hitting rock bottom, your risks will bear fruitful. You’ll end the year in abundance, not only financially, but personally because you value yourself more. You’re ready to start a new chapter in your life full of hope and enthusiasm.

SCORPIO (October 22 - November 21)
This year you fight against imaginary enemies and everyone is watching. 2013 makes you face your attachments to break free off the chains that enslave you. Later, you’ll go after your passions, you’ll look for new ways to bring bread to the table, and you’ll discover how valuable you are. You won’t lack love. Many support you and they show it. To jump into the unknown will cause conflicts, battles, and losses. Take it easy. You have done your part already. It is now the Universe’s turn.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 20)
2013 is a spectacular year. You end an important cycle in your life to start a new one to shine with your own life. You finally walk towards your real destiny. Travel and relating to foreigners is auspicious. This year you stand out like never before and your work is known in the four corners of the world. Your confidence develops without precedent. You give yourself the place you deserve. You earn good money and you discover your great value. God rewards you with infinite abundance.

CAPRICORN (December 21 - January 19)
Don’t be afraid of losing what you have nor attach to false stability. 2013 will give you plenty of reasons to celebrate. A feeling of emptiness makes you gray and pessimist. You reject offers of love and jobs. You’re looking for something that you don’t know yet. You need to look for your inner strength to disarm your inner enemies and go after your own destiny. Travel and changing jobs will be fortunate. You are born to succeed. Never forget that.

AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
2013 starts with a well-deserved rest. Your soul needs it. This year you are reborn in a new life. People of your past return to your life. Look for some peaceful time alone. Meditate and concentrate in keeping your center. Don’t let anything nor anyone to disturb you. Your heart is broken, but the love that arrives this year heals old wounds and gives you joy back. New children in the family arrive this year. Make smart decisions. Studying, clear communication, and documents become extremely important.

PISCES (February 19 - March 19)
Beware of false expectations this year. Enjoy what you have and the love on your side and always trust your inner light and knowledge. Solitude will be important this year to have a valuable time of introspection. Your fears exist only in your mind. Be patient. You will work with important people in big projects. Be careful of things that are not so clear to avoid undesirable surprises that can leave you a bit unstable. Justice is on your side if you have behaved properly.

now

Seems like most of us are healing, listening, hoping; days go by, turn into weeks and months, seems like now is always going by turning into something else; you do a lot of stuff and find you're at an end, or a new beginning; questing, wanting, desiring, needing; seasons come and go, like friends in the changing wind of it all. Sometimes time seems to stand still while you rage inside to move; sometimes it is all too much and all you really want is to find that friend to be with, the one that is not too busy for you. Ever moving onwards in this thing called life, leaving so much behind, lessons learnt, love felt, pain endured, and sometimes just a moment in it all that you can take a little time alone in a place where you can imerse yourself beneath the surface and just be in that moment's time of freedom, a swim, alone, where you forget who you are not and all there is, is a now...

Just

January 4, 2013 an easy 18 mile meditative run, “For Attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people. For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run their fingers through it once a day. For poise, walk with the knowledge that you never walk alone. People, more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed. Remember, if you ever need a helping hand, you will find one at the end of each of your arms. As you grow older, you will discover that you have two hands, one for helping yourself and the other for helping others.”

OPENING TO OUR INNER WISDOM



OPENING TO OUR INNER WISDOM
Written by, Salice Dawson
http://acfip.org/salart.html

"No-one gladly obeys a guide he does not trust,
but this does not mean the guide is untrustworthy.
In this case, it always means that the follower is.
However this too, is merely a matter of his own belief.
Believing that he can betray, he believes that everything can betray him.
Yet this is only because he has elected to follow false guidance.
Unable to follow this guidance without fear, he associates fear with
guidance and refuses to follow any guidance at all."

Excerpt From "A Course in Miracles"




What is Inner Wisdom?
Inner Wisdom is that part of us which is beyond our rational, logical and conscious mind. We are generally brought up to believe the mind is our primary source of information with regard to the world and we learn little, if anything, of our "other" nature. This "other" nature is our inner wisdom and is reached through our deeper intuition, instinct, hunches and the validity of our feelings. This is our inner voice, our inner wisdom.

We connect with our inner wisdom in a variety of ways, often without even knowing that we do so. Have you ever picked up a book, opened it at random and read a sentence that has a powerful effect on you? Or perhaps the whole book does. Someone may say something in conversation that strikes a deep cord in you or you may experience a profoundness from watching a beautiful sunset or walking in nature. However, we can greatly increase our ability to contact our inner wisdom and this includes our being aware of some of the obstacles which normally prevent us from doing so.



1. Be still. Create a space where you can be relaxed. Turn the telephone off, lock the door, make yourself comfortable and quieten your mind as much as possible. Rituals are not necessary although they may help in settling you. If you are open, the answer can come at any time, in any place or situation. It may help to jot down what you sense or receive, even if you think its coming from your conscious mind. Just look at it and see what insights it has. The mind "loses control" when you connect within and can react strongly causing you to feel disturbed. The mind will try to distract you and draw your attention away with excuses of all kinds from having a sneezing fit, feeling you must do something else such as one of the many chores that always need to be done to even getting sudden aches and pains in the body. The mind does not want you to listen within. 'A Course in Miracles' states "It is only because you think you can run some part or deal with certain aspects of your life alone that guidance of the Holy Spirit is limited".



2. Have no investments. Let go of any need, desire or investment to hear or sense an answer. Sometimes we do not realise we have already formed an answer and we simply will not hear anything. Or we may be afraid or feel too "unsafe" to hear the truth. What is the price if we "let go"? Does it mean a breakup in our relationship, changing our job, moving to a new place? If you get frustrated or angry, it is a clear sign you have an investment. Your mind is in charge and you need to let go.



3. Open yourself to hearing, feeling, knowing. Willingness to hear is the only thing necessary. "A Course in Miracles" states "If you cannot hear the Voice for God, it is because you do not choose to listen." Remember, the Voice of God can come in any guise. Guidance is always there, we just don't know it is. We do things we don't want to do as we don't know we don't want to do them. If we push our mind thoughts away of what we "should" and "ought" to do, the truth is there underneath. This can be threatening as it may mean doing something which requires us to empower ourselves. This may feel uncomfortable and it may upset others around to you. However, if we stop to check our energy and really touch in to our inner selves, we may pick up that we feel flat to our "oughts" and "shoulds" and that our surface enthusiasm is false.



4. Listen with assurance, acceptance and trust. As the conscious mind is who we think we are, an inner voice may be felt or seen as crazy. Giving up our attempts to solve problems with our conscious mind is very threatening to our ego which wants to remain in control. Trust what you get if it feels right. The answer may be challenging and even frighten your mind but go beneath that layer and get a sense of how it feels at a deeper level. You will know if it feels right, even if it is not what you want to hear. If the guidance does not "make sense" from our mind's point of view but still feels right, we may have to trust and go forward not knowing what the next step will be.

I once heard a very clear and firm voice as I was going to sleep one night. I was working in London at the time and wasn't even trying to connect with my inner wisdom. I suddenly heard a voice saying very clearly "You will be living at Findhorn". I couldn't comprehend what I heard. Although I had visited the Findhorn Foundation in northern Scotland the previous year, I had no intention or desire whatsoever to return there. The voice then repeated "You will be living at Findhorn." I then felt a deep reaction in my solar plexus - a knowing which could not be denied or distorted - but nevertheless, my mind tried to do so! I remember saying to myself "No, no I won't" and the voice replying with such gentleness and patience, "Yes you will". For 24 hours, I thought of every possible objection, and there were many, as to why I shouldn't leave my job, friends, where I was living etc. and all the time knowing that I would. It only took 24 hours before my mind stopped fighting and with this acceptance, came a sense of peace, delight and anticipation. It felt right, I knew it was right even though it was a huge step to take in so many ways.



5. What other clues can help you to know if your inner wisdom is right?
Apart from feeling and knowing at a deeper level, you sometimes feel a warm glow, a sense of peace or relief. If we truly flow with our inner wisdom, things will fall into place easily and gracefully. Our needs will be met and often the way will be paved by other people helping you in unexpected ways.

Earlier this year, I was travelling with my partner in Europe. In between commitments, we had two free weeks and my partner thought it would be an excellent idea to go to Greece where we could relax, read and enjoy some sun. Normally such an idea would have enormous appeal to me. Greece has always been a somewhat 'magic' place in my mind. However, I felt no real desire to go, a definite flatness and disinterest which I could not understand. My partner was very keen to go and although I mentioned my lack of enthusiasm, I didn't really pursue it because it made such sense to go there. We duly visited a travel agent but found we couldn't get a flight on the day we wanted nor could we get a return flight when we wanted. Also we couldn't fly out of Hamburg but would have to travel hundreds of miles to another airport. Still, my partner insisted on going to Greece and it wasn't until some 4 or 5 days later that I voiced my concern, my lack of energy and my 'sense' that it just wasn't right to go there. My partner then 'checked inside', going beneath the level of his mind and discovered that he too didn't feel 'right' about it either. He had been holding on because he had planned what he wanted to do in Greece - have time to study, read and relax. However, our inner wisdom led us to proceed to Switzerland for the 2 weeks where we had an extraordinary time. Everything fell in to place. Some friends were able to get us an apartment where they lived and very cheaply. We were in a superb position near the alps and overlooking some lakes. And it was here, that we were truly able to relax, study and take some very necessary time for ourselves in perfect surroundings. We felt we were very 'guided' and we both suspect that if we had gone to Greece as planned, it would not have been 'right' for us. Our needs would not have been met in the way they were in Switzerland.



6. Which voice do you take notice of?
The wisdom from within is usually soft. We have to stop and listen to hear it. It will suggest and advise but never demand surrender of your free will. It will not conflict with your personal ethics and never asks you to attack or hurt others or force them to do things. It will never be offended if you ignore what it says or if you question it. This voice requires our willingness to want it. It is never forced upon us. The voice from the mind or ego is usually louder and more forceful. It may be confusing or contradictory and you may even hear a number of voices competing for attention. This voice or voices may seek to flatter and to appeal to glamour, specialness and desire for personal gratification. If you examine it, it will feel wrong unless you are attached to the answer in which case, you will find yourself trying to convince yourself that it is right. It may be that this voice will mimic the inner voice and even make sense. You have to look at the content.



7. What questions should you ask? It is better to ask specific questions of your inner wisdom such as "what should I do about this particular problem" rather than wide-ranging questions such as "how can I help heal the world". If you are unsure about what you get, or if it feels wrong, listen again to get a clearer sense. Often the ego speaks first but if you listen closely and with patience, a quieter voice will come. If there are alot of obstacles or difficulties in response to the wisdom within, it has probably been distorted by the mind. If we interpret something wrongly, it doesn't matter. How many times have we had a hunch, an instinct to do something but have not followed it? So we may have lost some time by taking a wrong turn but our inner wisdom has infinite patience and is always there for us. It will never reject us because we didn't take notice the first time.

Occasionally we may receive guidance for others but this is very rare and usually such guidance comes from the ego.



8. How often should we listen? Whenever we lose our joy or peace, we need to check within. Anxiety, fear, anger, pain, irritation or frustration are all signs that this has occurred. It is good to ask ourselves "why am I doing this"? Will it make me happy"? What is my motive"? However, if you find yourself asking within before every move, this speaks more of fear than of trust and is a way of avoiding our own responsibility.

Remember, be open to all sources. God's 'Voice' is everywhere.

People Can Draw Energy From Other People The Same Way Plants Do




A biological research team at Bielefeld University has made a groundbreaking discovery showing that plants can draw an alternative source of energy from other plants. This finding could also have a major impact on the future of bioenergy eventually providing the evidence to show that people draw energy from others in much the same way.

Members of Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse’s biological research team have confirmed for the first time that a plant, the green alga Chlamydomonas reinhardtii, not only engages in photosynthesis, but also has an alternative source of energy: it can draw it from other plants. The research findings were released this week in the online journal Nature Communicationspublished by the renowned journal Nature.
Flowers need water and light to grow and people are no different. Our physical bodies are like sponges, soaking up the environment. "This is exactly why there are certain people who feel uncomfortable in specific group settings where there is a mix of energy and emotions," said psychologist and energy healer Dr. Olivia Bader-Lee.
Plants engage in the photosynthesis of carbon dioxide, water, and light. In a series of experiments, Professor Dr. Olaf Kruse and his team cultivated the microscopically small green alga species Chlamydomonas reinhardtii and observed that when faced with a shortage of energy, these single-cell plants can draw energy from neighbouring vegetable cellulose instead. The alga secretes enzymes (so-called cellulose enzymes) that ‘digest’ the cellulose, breaking it down into smaller sugar components. These are then transported into the cells and transformed into a source of energy: the alga can continue to grow. ‘This is the first time that such a behaviour has been confirmed in a vegetable organism’, says Professor Kruse. ‘That algae can digest cellulose contradicts every previous textbook. To a certain extent, what we are seeing is plants eating plants’. Currently, the scientists are studying whether this mechanism can also be found in other types of alga. Preliminary findings indicate that this is the case.

"When energy studies become more advanced in the coming years, we will eventually see this translated to human beings as well," stated Bader-Lee. "The human organism is very much like a plant, it draws needed energy to feed emotional states and this can essentially energize cells or cause increases in cortisol and catabolize cells depending on the emotional trigger."

Bader-Lee suggests that the field of bioenergy is now ever evolving and that studies on the plant and animal world will soon translate and demonstrate what energy metaphysicians have known all along -- that humans can heal each other simply through energy transfer just as plants do. "Human can absorb and heal through other humans, animals, and any part of nature. That's why being around nature is often uplifting and energizing for so many people," she concluded.

Here are five energy tools to use to clear your space and prevent energy drains while releasing people’s energy:
Stay centered and grounded. If you are centered within your spiritual self (instead of your analyzer or ego) you will sense right away when something has moved into your space. If you are fully grounded, you can easily release other people’s energy and emotions down your grounding cord with your intention.
Be in a state of non-resistance. What we resists sticks. If you feel uncomfortable around a certain person or in a group, don’t go into resistance as a way to protect yourself as this will only keep foreign energy stuck in your space. Move into a state of non-resistance by imagining that your body is clear and translucent like clear glass or water. This way, if someone throws some invalidation at you, it will pass right through you.
Own your personal aura space. We each have an energetic aura surrounding our body. If we don’t own this personal space we are vulnerable to foreign energy entering it. Become aware of your aura boundaries (about an arms length away from your body all the way around, above and below) as a way to own your personal space.
Give yourself an energy cleanse. The color gold has a high vibration which is useful for clearing away foreign energy. Imagine a gold shower nozzle at the top of your aura (a few feet above your head) and turn it on, allowing clear gold energy to flow through your aura and body space and release down your grounding. You will immediately feel cleansed and refreshed.
Call back your energy. When we have our energy in our own space there is less room for other’s energy to enter. But as we focus on other people and projects we sometimes spread our energy around. Create an image of a clear gold sun several feet above your head and let it be a magnet, attracting all of your energy back into it (and purifying it in the gold energy). Then bring it down through the top of your aura and into your body space, releasing your energy back into your personal space.

"The Mind and Delusions"

You are never "just in your mind". The Self doesn't fit into the mind. The mind is too small to encompass your Being. Your mind can be overactive and dominating. It can be inappropriate. It can be obsessed with fear, worry, or self-consciousness. It can be totally deluded about what it fully believes is true. It can impose itself on your screen of Consciousness and make you feel that whatever it thinks is definitely the way it is.
Yet you are never only "in your mind." You are greater than the mind, greater than anything it can think or believe. You are that which sees and knows the activity of the mind. You are also that which understands what the mind thinks. *Do not depend on your mind for the Truth, for the mind cannot contain the vastness of the Truth...because the Truth is that which sees and knows the mind.

The obstacles in our path

In ancient times, a king had a boulder placed on a roadway. Then he hid himself and watched to see if anyone would remove the huge rock. Some of the king's wealthiest merchants and courtiers came by and simply walked around it.
Many loudly blamed the king for not keeping the roads clear, but none did anything about getting the big stone out of the way. Then a peasant came along carrying a load of vegetables. On approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to move the stone to the side of the road. After much pushing and straining, he finally succeeded. As the peasant picked up his load of vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the king indicating that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the roadway. The peasant learned what many others never understand.

Every obstacle presents an opportunity to improve one's condition.
