Resolve

As you've all noticed, aside from the beauties of the season and the various celebrations happening around the world these are also very tense times and I've noticed that some people are taking on this tension as a personal situation.

I'd like to say this. We all know that this is a school and sometimes even people we know and love have to go through difficult times and that can be hard to bear. Still - it is important to allow that even though we can certainly encourage them and help them in any way we are able.

Still - I feel that some suggestions for living prayers are warranted here. Here's one to start with. Remember always to ask before you say any living prayer or benevolent magic to ask for all the benevolent energies that are available for you to be with you and all around and about you so as to prepare you to say the living prayer and to support the desired results associated with your intention.

Here's a living prayer I recommend you say for now. You might say, "I am asking that I be able to allow all those around me and all those afar as well to experience their lives and to live through the experience that they are in passage with - that I can trust that they can do this and that I can allow them to do so in the most benevolent way."

And here's another one. I also recommend you say, "I am asking that all those who are near and dear to me whether they be near or far, whether I know them personally or not - that they have the strength, endurance, love and support to go through their lives now no matter what form they might take and to experience the best that life has to offer in all of its benevolent forms."

And finally this as well. I'm recommending you say the following benevolent magic, "I request that my life be free and independent, that I am able to be with my friends and loved ones and be appreciated just exactly as I am as I appreciate them exactly as they are - that this will result in the most benevolent outcome...(then you pause for a moment)...for me."

I am suggesting these things to say in case you haven't chosen any new years resolutions or to add to them or simply to be available for you to say.

Remember again, we say benevolent magic only once in the phrasing you choose but of course you can say different things with different phrases at different times. It's the same for living prayer. If you're choosing to say something about an occasion, a circumstance - you say it just once and then if some other occasion or circumstance comes up you say the living prayer for that in the best words you are able or from reading this site - suggestions I may have given. I am hopeful that these contributions will be helpful to you all in the coming days and years.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Magic To Moderate

There are those who are concerned that because the year is coming to a close that predictions made by this or that group throughout the year with the best of intentions may bring some pitfall or difficulty that is greater than usual. From my perception, the way I see it is - that doesn't have to happen.

I'm going to suggest the following magic for those of you who feel capable to pursue it. First I recommend this be done at night in an area where the stars can be seen. If you are able to see either Orion or the Pleiades or even the big or little dipper then this is what to do.

Pick 2 of those constellations, not just one, and ask after you have made the choice that all of the most benevolent energies that are available for you to come and be with you in the moment that you pursue the magic and say this about ten or fifteen seconds before you take the next step.

Then look at one and then the other constellation. You don't have to look at it too long - five seconds, ten seconds at one - then five or ten seconds at the other. Then look straight down.

Ideally you will be standing on the earth, not on pavement but if there is only pavement then try to stand at least on a lawn perhaps or some place where there is dirt as far as you can tell. If there is only pavement then do what you can. If there is snow or ice over the earth that is alright as long as you know there is earth beneath that.

If you are in an area that is warm, have no shoes on if you can help it - no socks either.

Then this is what to say. I recommend you say, "With the alignment of these star systems and in concordance with the Earth below me and upon which I walk and supports me, I am asking that all those benevolent beings and the hearts of all humans, animals and the spirits of all on the Earth come into concordance now in the most benevolent way and with the alignment to the stars and our perpetual existence act only in the most benevolent ways to all and each other and ourselves."

Many of you will feel energy. If you do even during the saying of these words, pause until the energy fades a bit and finish saying the words. Always say the words exactly as I've written them without any changes.

When you are done even if you have not felt any energy, try not to move for say - 30 seconds. Of course you must breathe and a little bit of motion as a result is expected but move as little as possible, have no conversation. You can be with others doing this or there can be others around, that's alright but try to be as quiet and focused as possible.

If there are others doing this with you then don't say it in unison. Say it out loud but you can whisper it and say it at different times. You don't say it in unison because it will not be possible to say it all at exactly the same moment and that might tend to create a disruption. If there are many of you who wish to be together and say it then you can whisper it but it must be done out loud and a whisper counts for being out loud.

After a few minutes, not many - not more than 3 you may depart that area. Do not go back to that exact area for at least 12 hours. It's alright if other people are there but don't you go back to that exact area for at least 12 hours. You can come within 10 or 15 feet of it but not the exact area. That will help to support the magic.

That's what I recommend. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

The Prize

I don't know, what's so great about Christmas? It comes once a year. We have to shell out more then we want to for decorations and gifts and other ballyhoo that goes with it - why bother?

I'll tell you why. It's one of those holidays that reminds us that there are good things about the world. So many of us are striving to improve the quality of life for ourselves, our families, our friends, our community and in the course of that struggle - it's difficult isn't it - very challenging to keep an eye on the prize.

The prize however is not the goal we're striving for, the prize is that which we are intending to protect and feed - our friends, our family and yes - ourselves. That's the prize. Lets not lose sight of that because when we do lose sight of that - well, that's why we need Christmas - not only for its religious significance but to be reminded of the beauty within ourselves, within our children, within our grandparents, within our families, our friends and our community.

Christmas is not only about a religious holiday - and it is that but it is also to be reminded about joy for that is the true prize.

Goodlife.

More On Forms Of Protection

Greetings, I'd like to provide you with a little more on forms of protection you can use in situations that may be unexpected.

Perhaps you've been driving someplace and you're feeling uncomfortable or you are walking someplace or even in a situation that you know is safe but might involve challenges - verbal or otherwise.

This is something you can do if you know you're coming into a situation like that. If you know you're coming into a situation like that and can plan ahead for it then this is what to do.

First, situate yourself in a space if you can where you have at least 4 feet in all directions around you including if possible above you and even below you - but what I mean by below you is to measure - you can just eyeball it - from your heart up and your heart down because that's where the magic is centered.

Then put your hand, palm towards your body, on your heart area. I recommend the right hand but if you are left handed you may use that - and ask for all the benevolent energies that are available for you to be present with you right then in that moment.

Wait a few seconds - ten, fifteen or so and then say this, "I am asking that all these energies that are with me and all round and about me, now support me in this coming time when I may be in a situation of personal challenge or others may feel that I am not trustworthy or that they are perhaps bearing some bias - that I be safe, that I be honored and appreciated, that I be acknowledged as a valuable person and entity in any or all of those situations in the most benevolent way for me and for others."

That's what I recommend if you have some sense that you may be going someplace, entering someplace or in someplace that your value may be questioned in some way.

It is absolutely essential that there be the 4 foot sphere around you - you understand what I'm saying here is that there could be other people in this space but you must be able to create a moment of aloneness. It could be a small space, a small room that you are in or simply even a office situation where you have barriers around you to keep others out.

Try it, it may work well for you. Goodlife.

Requesting Forms Of Protection With Benevolent Magic

Some of you may be concerned about world events coming too close.

There has been a rash of reports about people doing things that are profoundly self-destructive. Self-destructive here would also refer to harming others as well as one's self. It has been extreme hasn't it but there may be something you can do to support a more benevolent realm on Earth.

I'm sure many of you have begun various forms of work to do this. If you haven't and you're wondering what to do or you'd like something extra to do why don't you try this. It's a form of benevolent magic but it utilizes some aspects of the physical world.

This is what to do. It works particularly well when the sun is setting and the moon is up - and you don't look directly at the sun of course - you never do that but if you can do this at that time that's the best way.

The moon doesn't have to be full, it can be any portion of the moon. If however that doesn't happen in your locale then try it either with the sun setting or the moon rising. And in the case of the moon you glance at it of course and in the case of the sun setting you glance in that direction.

If the conditions I mentioned earlier prevail then you glance at the moon and you glance at the sunset and right after that you say this form of benevolent magic, "I request that all of the astronomical elements that are united with Earth now form a triangle of protection that is benevolent for me, my friends, my family and all those others who wish to be included to bring about the most benevolent state of being on Earth and that this request I am making now will result in the most benevolent outcome."

That's what I suggest for today. Goodlife.

Balancing The Imbalance From Others

Recently Patrice asked a question which I felt might be of interest to you all:


Dear Robert,

I have a question about feeling welcome and feeling rejected.

Is it always easy for you to let go when other human beings welcome you badly (if this happen to you) in a shop or an administration, treating you like a "nothing"?

On your point of view, what is the meaning of such situations happening to you and how do you transmute the energy they create.

Goodlife

Patrice


Here is my answer:

Patrice, it is true that not everyone will like us or they may be biased or prejudiced based upon their reaction to our appearance or demeanor. How to deal with this?

First off, if you're used to uniting with energies that are benevolent then I recommend you to this post. That can help to prevent a great deal of this.

On the other hand if it happens unexpectedly then this is what I recommend. If someone simply is not acknowledging you it doesn't always mean that it's about you. Remember, this is their behavior. If it is their behavior it is about them not about you.

If you remember that distinction it will be very helpful for you in life because you will know that their reaction has nothing to do with you whatsoever. You are simply the recipient of their current attitude. With that attitude you can simply step away or if you're in a store approach somebody else.

On the other hand, as you said, what to do with that energy if it feels bad to you? If it feels bad to you then you know that's about you and the first chance you get when you leave that store or that place of service or if you get close to a window then simply get in touch of that part of your body where it feels bad and take a breath in through the top of your head where it's likely to be the best energy and locating that breath behind that part of your body that doesn't feel good but in your physical body - blow out towards the sky - not towards the ground.

Just blow out right towards the sky. That will probably help quite a bit and if it doesn't try it again. One or two breaths will blow it out and take care of it. That's the quick way, then when you get home do a disentanglement about that situation. That will also help.

That's what I recommend. Goodlife.

Time To Catch Up - For You

From time to time on this blog and on my other you will find that I pause and there will be no posts for a little while. What does that mean?

Usually it means that I feel you need to catch up and I want to give you time to do it. As you have noted, those of you who've been reading this for a while, I give a lot of suggestions here and homework since I know a lot of you want to get ready and have your capabilities, talents and other possibilities for you not only accentuated but heightened.

Therefore if there's ever times when you notice - hey, how come no post here - there's lots and lots of homework - maybe you missed something. Go back to the beginning if you want and come forward, see what you've missed. Don't forget, sometimes there's extra homework in the comments area.

This is just a reminder for those of you who've joined on recently but for the others you know that these gaps in posting are exclusively for you to have time to catch up on your homework, on your practice and of course - on your lives.

Goodlife to you all.
