Smoothing The Path To An Achievable Future

When you experience your life you'll find that the images that you've held in the past of your success - what your success will be like, what you'd like it to be like - you understand - your goals - your yes - your fantasies as well - what you'd like to have, where you'd like to go, even who you'd like to be with - that these old fantasies must be shed and I'll tell you why.

I'm not saying that you cannot have visions of your future but I recommend that they be visions.

The old fantasies tend to tie you to the times when you were having them - meaning the past - and the method of vision that I'm going to share with you now will connect you with the present and your benevolent future which is what I recommend.

I'm going to recommend that you first say this as a Living Prayer to help yourself and others going through this process. I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those beings who are connecting to their benevolent future experience that benevolent future in the present anchored moment and as a result are pulled comfortably and easily and smoothly into that benevolent future effortlessly."

Now you notice I said pulled. That is to allow you to be attracted to or drawn towards that benevolent future from yourself in that future. That way you do not have to have anything extra to complicate your life and you can let go of striving towards those old fantasies.

You have the opportunity now to experience your future from a more comfortable route.

This is what I recommend you do. It would be helpful to picture - close your eyes and picture the sun in the sky, then beyond it the moon. I recommend of course, that you keep your eyes closed and preferably be in a room someplace where you could lie down or sit very comfortably.

If you can picture the sun and then right behind it the moon in your imagination this will be much easier. Pull, as if you were attempting to pull the sun and the moon towards you. Of course what happens is that you will feel attracted and pulled towards the sun and the moon.

Now this is strictly a visualization, there is no harm towards being closer to the sun so even if you find yourself getting very close indeed - perhaps even within these two bodies - it is safe.

This simple technique allows you to experience a connection to your benevolent future. The sun purifies and the moon supports. This is something that is most helpful in making that particular connection we're talking about today.

When you have the feeling, and it will be a physical feeling, of relaxation - perhaps some of you will feel a little tingling - that's when to say - and you'll find that in that state that you may not have the words that you normally have in your vocabulary and you don't have to think too hard - don't get involved in concepts - just say very slowly out loud or you can whisper if you prefer but it needs to be out loud in some form - what you need for your benevolent future. Not what you think you can have, you understand but what you need.

You need to incorporate that which you desire, in a benevolent way you understand, into your needs in this case. Then you simply state what you need.

If you need a very comfortable place to live, say that. Don't be too specific. Don't say a house. Don't say an apartment. Just say, "I need a very comfortable place to live where I feel welcome and where I have all that I need and want." Something like that, you see - just as an example.

It is not a time to ask for anything that is harmful to you or harmful to others. If you do that the entire process will be cancelled because there are built in safety mechanisms here that do not allow you to manifest harm for yourself or harm for others using these techniques that I share here on this site.

So ask for what you want and state it as a need. You can go on for a time but remember - make an effort to not think so it will be very simple sounding - that's fine. Then relax.

I recommend you do this about three, maybe four times in ten days.

You don't have to ask for different things each time but as a result of time going on you might find that you do ask for different things. Always say it in the form of a need.

It will not only help to create a achievable experience of that in some form in your now and future time but it will take those old fantasies out of the realm of being the fantastic and achievable only through imagination and put them into the capability of achievement through possibility - meaning opportunities that you might not have otherwise had.

It'll also connect you more with the potential for you to have a benevolent future I believe, and make it easier to get along in life - and on that note lets close with the following Living Prayer.

I recommend you say, "I am asking that my connection to my benevolent future be easy and be accomplished in the most benevolent way for me now."

Goodlife.

I'll Be Posting Soon...

I'm in the process of moving this week, that's why the delay in posting. I'll have something up here pretty soon though.

Goodlife.

The Benevolence Of The Moon

Consider the leaves on a tree - how they turn very gently to embrace the sun and very gently to embrace the moon. For those of you who are observers of nature you have seen these things.

Is it possible that we also as human beings observe the sun and embrace the moon - I believe it is. I believe that the experience of the sun cycle and the moon cycle feeds something deep within us.

I am not suggesting that if we do not stand out in the midday sun or walk about at the height of the moonlight - that we will not be healthy but I am saying that some sunlight on our bodies and some moonlight on our bodies is actually healthy, I believe.

We all know and there has been a great deal of scientific research of the beneficial effects of the sun, granted with some warnings about too much. I do not feel however that there has been much discussion of the value and benefits of moonlight.

The assumption is strictly that, "Well, this is reflected sunlight" but why would Creator feel the need or believe that we had the need to experience moonlight.

In my experience the moon reflects not only the sunlight and the light of other stars but also reflects the water. That is what I believe and I feel that for the water and fluids in our body that exposure to moonlight is helpful and beneficial.

I believe there has been some research done on this and if you look, especially in Asian research of old and in native peoples stories of old you will find it.

How does this benefit you and what can you do with it. This is what I feel - now we are in the time of the feminine energy and how can that be supported and nurtured.

I believe it can be supported and nurtured, even if there is no one in your life to do that for you or if that is a temporary situation, by exposing yourself to moonlight - perhaps on your bare arms, perhaps on your lower legs and feet and most importantly on your face.

If you can be someplace where the predominant light is moonlight, I believe you will be nurtured in your feminine energy - and we all have that - men and women - and you will also experience a rejuvenation of the flow of fluids in your body. This is what I've been taught and this is what I believe by my experience.

I'd recommend a experiment if you'd like. If you can, go someplace where you can experience moonlight as the predominant influence. Experience as best you can one hour of moonlight on your face, hands and feet - if it is on other parts of your body that is fine but most importantly on your face, hands and feet.

Do this for three nights in a row and of course have some sunlight during the day if you like.

I believe that you will find that your dreams are more comfortable and nurturing, that your ability to get along with women and other feminine influences will also be heightened.

This means of course that your ability to receive will be heightened. I think many of you know what that might mean.

This is something I recommend you try for that period of time - just three days for about an hour a night. If it works for you feel free to share how it works here or simply experience it for yourself. If it doesn't, then wait thirty days and try it again. I believe that in time you can have this great benefit of the moon.

Moon now has the capacity to influence the fluids of our body more than ever and I feel that this form of moon nurturing will give us much of the love, support and nurturing we miss and need and can benefit from.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Helping To Relieve The Tension And More

I feel there is something that you can apply to your accumulated skills package here. You've been reading this blog for sometime and those of you who've been with me from the beginning have perhaps added to your capabilities.

Given that, I'd like you to consider - is there a great deal of tension in the neighborhood where you live - or if you live in the country do you feel the tension in the area where you live or even from other areas migrating to where you are?

Wherever you are, there's a great deal of tension not only stimulated by the creations of human beings but also stimulated by the planet herself.

Mother Earth is going through a change - not a change of life towards the end of her life, not that but a change where another version of her - you might call another face of her - will present itself to you shortly and in order for you to feel comfortable there you will need to work on changing the mood in your area - meaning the feeling level.

So I'm going to suggest this - do this standing outside if you possibly can and ideally without much in the way of insulation on the bottom of your feet. If you have leather soles on those are fine but not rubber or plastic.

This is what I recommend you say. Start with a Living Prayer and say, "I am asking that all the benevolent energy, angelic spirits and the blessings of Creator be with me now that I may say words that will help Earth and all her peoples."

Then wait. Perhaps you won't have to wait very long. If you haven't felt anything after two minutes then just go on with this and say the following Benevolent Magic.

I suggest you say, "I request that all the energies I feel and sense be lightened by the hearts desire most benevolent of all beings and that this occur in my home, in my neighborhood, in my area, on my continent, on my planet in the most benevolent way now and that this will result in the most benevolent outcome."

Now if you feel energy peaking at any time during saying these things just pause until the energy calms a bit because when the energy peaks there is something being supported then and if you wait until it calms a bit you can continue on.

Anytime you feel the energy peaking, wait and then continue on with the words to the end.

Always try to say these things exactly as written here because the Benevolent Magic is supported by those specific words.

Now I'm going to tell you a little bit about what this is for. What this is for is that this new face of Mother Earth will not be such a big change. You will not see suddenly dramatic changes - the trees are not all going to turn purple or anything like that but what you will experience is that you will see things that are there - meaning that you will begin to see things of a benevolent nature that have always been there but that you didn't notice before and here's the good part - as if that weren't good enough - other people will do this too.

If people begin to see wonderful things don't tell them what they're seeing, don't mention that you've said these prayers because it is important for them to feel a sense of personal identification with it and of course what they see is something personal to them.

If they ask you directly - not if they just wonder out loud but if they ask you directly - what do you think it is, then you can say - I believe it is a gift from Mother Earth and Creator showing us that there is hope, there is help and that we are loved.

That's all - keep it simple. That way they still have the opportunity to consider - pro and con, is it this, is it that and that's important. Allow them that. That's what I recommend.

This new face of Mother Earth is something I will speak more about in the future but that's all I wanted to say for now.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Lets Take A Step In A More Benevolent Direction

Now today I'm going to tell you a little something and I'm going to make suggestions afterwards.

It is possible to assist those struggling in strife or in natural disasters.

These things happen on a regular basis with Mother Earth - earthquakes, fires, floods - often part of her natural cycle. Granted, sometimes contributed to by the actions of or lack of same by human beings.

Still, I know many of you want to be of assistance and many of you have struggled with this - how to help and how to help in a way that is benevolent.There is the difficult part isn't it because you often want to take some kind of action but how to take action in a benevolent way. I'm going to suggest a course of action here now.

There was a time once when a struggle was going on and the struggle had to do with people opposing each other. The trouble with people opposing each other is that there's a tendency to overdo it - one-upmanship takes over doesn't it, "You did that to me, I'll do double that back to you" and there is a sense of rationalization that takes place doesn't it.

"I'll do double that back to them and then they'll stop because they'll see what it gets them." Like that, you know but how often has that turned into complete disaster as we see very often from the headlines that we read about or worse - if we are in the middle of it eh.

So I'm going to suggest this - it does border on interference, I agree but because it has been done successfully it can be done. This is what I'm going to suggest and it involves the following Living Prayer.

There is something to do before you say this. For those of you who know how to invite benevolent energies in, do that first and while you are saying this let it be of simple comfort - the energy you see.

If the energy should amplify and you feel it more then pause, allow it to relax a bit when it is done with its amplification and then go on and say the rest of the words. Anytime the energy builds, relax - allow it to build and then when it relaxes say the rest of the words.

I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those beings involved in strife whether they be this one or that one, whether I favor them, whether I favor other - that they all be insulated and protected from harm in the most benevolent way and that whoever is causing harm to them intentionally or otherwise also be insulated and protected and that this all results in the most benevolent outcome now."

There's a reason why I say that this borders on interference but you see it's important to say it anyway. It borders on interference because people come here to learn lessons and sometimes the lessons that are learned are difficult and very often effect others but you see, given the level of edginess yes and the level of weaponry that exists today I feel that such influence that we are requesting with this Living Prayer can be benevolent and in my experience it is.

I said I was going to say a little something - I will say that. Do you know that it is possible to influence the physical organisms of the planet.

It is possible to say Living Prayers and physical organisms actually change - not necessarily ones that function under the influence of will such as the determination to do something that us human beings will exercise even if we are doing something that is harmful to ourselves or others but there is a deeper level of function that is biological and is connected to all things, to all beings, to all people and this functions on the micro level.

Cells, organisms, all of these things while they might temporarily bow to the will - will generally go along with the harmony that life entails here for there is a great deal of harmony which must exist here in order for life to perpetuate.

We all understand the wheel of life and how its nature supports one another. In order to co-ordinate the wheel of life then the co-operation must exist on the biological level, the spiritual level and yes - with instinct and most importantly with co-operation.

Co-operation is occurring more and more these days though it isn't always obvious. Sometimes it needs a little support and sometimes it needs a little more than support. I'm suggesting today that you say this Living Prayer because it is support and in some ways a little more than support and it will - I believe - support, sustain and nurture human life to express its best face.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Enlightenment?

There are many ways to experience enlightenment - but what is enlightenment?

Is it a intellectual insight into our human condition? Is it a means to understand and apply ways and capabilities to improve the quality of life? Is it a understanding of the human condition which allows one to embrace the continuity of life and allow life to pass before one or is it all of these things and more.

Enlightenment is not a requirement to live today however it is an option. As an option it includes many different forms of understanding.

My feeling is that enlightenment has a foundational element and that foundational element is - understanding how much we are all alike.

Now when I say all does that mean - what - does it mean all people? Does it mean all life? What does it mean. In my understanding and in my life experience all means all life and everything is alive.

If we even consider that philosophically for a moment - does it prevent us from eating or clothing ourselves or protecting ourselves in homes. It does not - however it does demand of us respect, honor and appreciation for all that we eat, all that we wear and all that we use for our shelter.

Here's an example of something I say regularly. I say, "Thank you for all those who have contributed to my being able to enjoy this wonderful meal." Many of you say that in some manner as grace or as the blessing over a meal in all religions and even philosophies but since everything is alive and it passes through us to go on to sustain others in some way that we may see or most likely don't see then is it possible that other forms of life thank us for our existence here.

We often, as a human race, are so critical of ourselves and our fellow human beings and yet - think about it - how is it possible that all the animals, the trees, the stone, Mother Earth herself are prepared and committed to live with us.

Is it possible that there is something we're doing just by our very existence here which is in mutual co-operation with them.

I believe that harmony is possible. I do not think that harmony works when we're blowing things up - shooting, maiming or harming each other and yet it is true that certain levels of inter co-operation allow for the smooth transit of one form of life into another.

I believe that Creator has placed us here to learn how harmony works. That is why we find ourselves in a world that allows one form of life to be nurtured simply by the exhale of breath of another. Is it not a wondrous thing that trees exhale oxygen as do plants in general and that we exhale carbon dioxide which trees and many other plants inhale.

I feel that the nature of our existence here has everything to do with the lesson, the application and the experience of harmony and I have a great deal of confidence that we are not only learning it but that our increased level of communication with each other in this form and in many others will allow us to learn the value of each other, learn how we interact with all other life and yes - appreciate how we all exist in harmony that is unseen and unfelt by many and yet does exist within us.

Now, all we have to do is to make it a goal to live in harmony regardless of our religions, philosophies and politics. I know it can be done.

We just need to say, "I believe and I know you believe also. I can allow you to believe what you believe and still be in harmony with you."

Give it a try, think about it and consider. It may be true but even if it isn't it's still worth thinking about.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections

Consider for a moment the hostility that we all feel when we feel we've been slighted, overlooked or otherwise mistreated according to our own sense of personal value.

There is a time coming now which has already started some places that will dramatically correct this situation. Some of you have already experienced it.

It is a situation where you will find that people you do not know - most often strangers on the street or perhaps in a bus or even in a restaurant - will simply strike up a conversation with you without any strings attached or any need or desire for it to turn into anything but a momentary conversation that will feel almost like you're having a talk with an old dear friend.

These moments of conversational intimacy will become increasingly frequent and this is a trend that will not go away.

For those of you who might be uncomfortable with such a thing, nows the time to consider whether you could get used to it.

Remember the ultimate value of it is that you will begin to feel more important yes but also more recognized as a valuable human being simply for being. You don't have to prove anything. You don't have to say - I do this - I did that - none of that. You'll just be recognized as being valuable by whoever it is that's talking to you.

Now here's the other part. You yourself will feel an increasing desire bordering on need for the next three to six months to do exactly the same thing - to speak to people you don't know - hello, greetings, I've had a rough day - whatever - and it won't go away even if the person appears to be ignoring you.

Granted, in some instances they'll speak a different language or they won't understand the way you speak but for the most part they'll be shy and not unlike you - when this happens to you - for many of you - they won't know how to react. Fortunately you'll all have this time to adjust to this.

This is a time now when people are really over the experience of being overwhelmed by circumstances, by life and by the sense of so many, so much and what to do about all the change.

Interestingly enough also, you will find that these conversational contacts will happen regardless of age.

Someone who speaks to you might not be in any way like the sort of person that you would normally find makes the first step towards a conversation.

Of course friendships will dramatically increase during this time. The sense of having allies unknown to you before this time will also be very encouraging and will feel like a sense of support coming to you from an unseen and welcome place. This feeling of having allies and what definitely feels like friends that exist all over not just in your immediate neighborhood will also be a great comfort.

This is needed now because people not only feel that their sense of estrangement or even alienation cannot go on - they cannot bear it - but it is also needed because everyone, I feel - and this is what I do believe, recovers their own sense of personal dignity and their sense of feeling good about life and about life's possibilities with this kind of communication.

I feel this is a time of communion where - in these snippets of conversation you will feel a true sense of belonging to life itself - to the human race - to Earth and beyond through these moments of connection to the family of all peoples.

Enjoy this adventure. I feel it will for the most part, be a wonderful experience and will really restore your faith - even if you've never had it - in the value of life and most importantly in the value of your own life and your own future.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

An Uncomfortable Truth?

It is in the nature of our world to shield our friends and loved ones from danger yes - but sometimes we shield them from the truth especially if that truth could be a hurtful one or at least we believe they may feel that.

It is awkward isn't it - we want to protect them from this pain and we think - perhaps we even feel that they have it but they are too polite to say so - meaning they know the truth but they don't want to bring it up, they don't want to feel it, they don't want to see it, they don't want to know about it. What can we do in such circumstances.

Is it possible to rescue them somehow? Is it even desirable? It is most difficult but sometimes a truth has to be said even if the feelings may be hurt - even if there is even some awkwardness for us or we may be misunderstood by others. Sometimes it has to be said.

There are moments when we can say them. It is possible yes, to be polite. It is possible even to be discrete but sometimes when we are polite or even overly discrete - when we speak our truth it is not understood because in order for the truth to be known it is often necessary to be clear.

Therefore when such clarity is spoken in print or otherwise - very often in the spoken word - it can cause harm yes, embarrassment often but after this truth sinks in it can often cause change.

Sometimes the change becomes a disguise but other times the change is actually quite noticeable and something gets done about it in yes - a benevolent way.

In the famous story where the child says - but the emperor's not wearing any clothes - you all know that one - change happens. After a few moments of embarrassment the emperor realizes what the real situation is and then we move on. That famous story is important because it reveals what must be revealed and it does so in an amusing and yes, entertaining way.

So my feeling is this in this short post today - consider when your friends tell you something even if it is embarrassing - is there truth in it. If there is truth does the truth hurt more then the realization of the fact - or is it even a fact? Is it strictly opinion.

Sometimes the truth does masquerade as opinion but other times opinion can appear to be something else.

How often children speak the truth. Sometimes it is welcome, sometimes it is amusing and other times it is just embarrassing.

I'm bringing this up today because I have been accused from time to time of speaking the truth - and when I was younger the idea of speaking the truth was not something to be embarrassed about, it was considered to be a good quality.

There have been others who have spoken the truth and my feeling is that this can be a good thing but the truth must be tempered with kindness and love otherwise it is not truth even though it might be absolutely obvious.

We must find a balance so that our truth is understood, so that others can hear it and see it clearly, so that the value of what we speak is less in its shock or entertainment - as one often sees in the entertainment industry - but rather the value is in the outcome.

Lets consider - whatever truth that people say to us or to the world that we hear about - that it can have value if we can look around and see that there are aspects of truth to it. We don't have to jump up and say - oh my gosh - or we don't have to admit to anything publicly but we can look at it and say - this has value, I'll consider it.

I know this all sounds like policy, what I'm saying - but my feeling is that there are times coming when we will all hear truth spoken in the most innocent of ways and very often as it says in the bible it will come from a child or as I feel the bible really means - in the manner of a child - and when that happens sometimes we don't know how to take it.

Can the truth really set us free - perhaps it can. Lets be open to hearing it and lets consider whether it has value.

I strongly believe in the value of benevolence and I believe that the truth can be benevolent if spoken in a kind and loving way. I have learned a little about that in life and I hope that everyone else embraces it too. I have heard that many people do and I think perhaps it is so. I believe we will find truth - it will come to us and we will know it when we feel it.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Helping Hands For Science

Is knowledge enough for science or is wisdom also a worthy goal?

Science has provided us with many wonderful things and has made our lives infinitely easier though there is another side or face to science.

It has also created terrible weapons and extreme versions of technology that are harmful. What can rescue science from the pursuit of this sort of knowledge.

I have found that when one of us - simply a human being pursues knowledge for the sake of knowledge we can also make mistakes but as is natural over time one acquires experience and it is in the nature of experience that wisdom is often the eventual outcome.

I believe that science needs to be tempered with wisdom. I believe that it is the knowledge and experience of practical applications that achieves wisdom.

I am not trying to suggest that I have all the answers but rather I am simply saying that wisdom, that which is known; the sum of what has been perceived, discovered, or inferred, is something worth achieving and integrating into the research and application of science.

I know it will not be easy to ignore some products that can pursue the profit motivation but we have to consider the ultimate outcome.

Are we going to allow science to unintentionally achieve its own destruction by causing ours or will we give science a leg up. Allow it to mature into a stage of wisdom which can then be the overseer and encourage science and those who apply it to use wisdom as a benchmark for research, application and eventual products and technology that will only improve the quality of our lives.

And to that end I ask for support for science by all of you who can support it. That it may have good luck and benevolent outcomes that will be achieved by wise and patient and yes - loving support.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Water - The Life That Unites Us

It is true that water represents the passage of time and the breadth of personality and possibilities but it is more than that - water is the connector to all life as we know it here on Earth and it is also the means of unity and unification.

Everyone drinks water or is exposed to it in some way and the water that flows through your body one day flows through mine another day. Therefore water represents the portions of personality that are most felt in each and every one of us as the water passes through us. It also represents the aspects of personality that we need to release and that which we also need to acquire.

It's a fact, isn't it - when we're thirsty we might drink water and feel better but how many times have you noted - especially for those of you who've been near deep water wells - that you drink some cool water from a deep well and you not only feel refreshed but you feel for a moment that life can be better - that life has possibilities - that in short, there is hope.

Water is meant to restore us and to provide us with the potential for building on the qualities that have not only been placed, intentionally or otherwise, in the water by our fellow human beings and yes - animals but also because water percolates through the Earth - has been placed in there by Mother Earth herself.

When we look at swiftly moving water whether it is at night or in the day we often feel a sense of being drawn towards the water. This is not meant to endanger us but rather because our bodies are made up so much of water as well - and since water is the element of Mother Earth's personality that is so pervasive in our lives it is not so surprising that we are attracted to it.

When this happens at night - at times we might feel a sense of fear - yes - and this is because that magnetic attraction to the water makes us concerned that we might join the water and lose our own personalities - not necessarily in a dangerous way but simply be lost for a time.

I want to give you some homework. It is not complicated but it will be easier for those of you near streams or creeks or rivers. Go and sit near it. You don't have to be to close, just close enough so you can see the current and the direction of the flow of the water.

Stand, or if you like sit, near the water and speak out loud - if there are people nearby you can speak quietly - speak out loud all your discomforts. Who you're upset with, why - and then after you've spoken all you can think of take a deep breath and blow towards the water.

For others of you, you can - instead of just letting go of the troubles - you can infuse the water with something benevolent.

You can sit by the water or stand by the water and speak of your happiness, your joy. You will not give it away by blowing it towards the water but you will share it and compensate for those who've had to let go of their troubles. Then take a deep breath and blow towards the water.

Those of you who cannot get to rivers or streams or creeks, then imagine one as best you can.

Try to imagine one that is as close to where you live as possible and simply say if you wish, the following Living Prayer. "I am asking that the liquid of Mother Earth as it passes through me bring me joy, unite me with my fellow beings in the most benevolent way and provide an understanding and a sense of continuity and an appreciation for life and our home here on Earth." That's what I recommend.

Goodlife.

Life And Changes

There is an awakening going on all around you. This awakening is going somewhat misunderstood at the moment.

You'll find that your lives will have moments of confusion in places where you once felt there was an absolute understood predictability.

There are other places where the completely unknown and misunderstood and definitely distrusted will take on an appearance that will grow and grow into something much more comfortable and compatible.

In short, what's going on is a reconfiguration of our daily experience. Many times this will be accompanied by feelings and by physical experiences - very often subtle but noticeable that will feel good though we might sometimes be embarrassed about them.

It's alright to show your feelings. Sometimes it isn't appropriate to do so in a significant way but other times it's perfectly alright because we are, after all - feeling beings.

I believe we are feeling beings first and all else follows. I base this upon the fact that babies are very demonstrably feeling and if you've been around people when they're getting quite a bit older and sometimes don't have the personality that you've come to know them for, they are also very demonstrative or demonstrating feelings - sometimes ones that may surprise you.

I feel at moments like this when we are very young and when we are very old we are not too concerned about what others might think of us and therefore only in the rest of our lives do we learn to be concerned about how we appear to others.

It is possible I believe, to have feelings, to demonstrate them, to experience them in such a way as harmony ensues.

I want to say - goodlife with your experience of feelings as you go through the next few months because you will feel strongly - and others around you will do so as well. It doesn't have to be frightening, it can be a good thing. So enjoy it and see if you can find others who also enjoy it.

It's alright to laugh, it's alright to cry - life will go on no matter what. So I want to encourage you to know that and to trust - life will go on even with changes.

Sometimes when you look at your life you can say and often do, "It needs to change" meaning for the better. I feel that many times during this coming few months, it will be changing and maybe it will be for the better.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Assistance With Fear Of The Night

Today I'd like to talk to you about something that is real - such a real experience for so many people and that is a fear of the night or the times when it is dark outside.

Perhaps there is some moonlight, perhaps there is very little. Even when there is significant moonlight there is no sun directly to guide your way.

I'd like to suggest that you call upon a spirit. There is a being that can support you in all this and will literally take your hand - some of you will feel it - very slightly of course but it will be a presence. It is a very loving presence and that is the Spirit Of Night.

This is a being that supports you physically, especially your sense of touch in your feet.

Do you know that the feet we have function very much like hands. When we reach for something we feel with our fingers first don't we, especially if it is something unknown. It is the same with our feet.

It is best when we are in a place where there is unknown to reach with our toes first - not unlike - you might stick your toes into water that is of an unknown temperature.

Also I recommend putting your toes down first - the forefoot - when you are not sure of where you are going and let the Spirit of Night lead you slowly away from the lighted home.

Feel free to take a friend to make sure that you are safe.

I recommend venturing out sometime from your place, if you are shy about the time of night.

First I would suggest saying the following Living Prayer. I recommend you say, "I am asking that the most benevolent and loving beings that are the very best for me come with me and be joined by Spirit of the Night to support my venture into the nighttime in complete safety, harmony and benevolence for me."

Wait at least five minutes after that and then venture out. The first time go out maybe ten or twelve feet if you are truly frightened of the dark. Remember it is fine to bring a friend but I recommend that the friend be at least five feet away from you. They can be in front of you or to the side of you but not behind you. I think that that is best.

Also it is good if you know the lay of the land. Don't try this in a place where you don't know what the land looks like. It is always best, if you have this fear, to see the land during the day first.

That's what I recommend is best but if you cannot see it then bring a flashlight and shine it on the land so you can see it clearly before you turn the light out and step forward.

Try this night after night or at least three nights a week venturing out about ten feet further each time. By the time your fifth time comes you will feel a little safer.

I recommend also that if you do it past five times that you have a physical object that you can touch. Perhaps it will be a car or a tree but not something that moves about such as a favorite dog or cat or even horse. It is best to have something that you know is a fixed object, that will be a comfort.

I am not suggesting this as a cure-all to all problems especially fear of the dark but I am suggesting it as a way to prepare yourself to move past this particular sense of shyness.

I want to give thanks to my friend Patrice who so gently and with vulnerability volunteered his shyness of the dark in an unknown place in a recent comment on this site but for now that's all I'm going to say about working with the Spirit of Night.

I do recommend however that you invite the Spirit of Night to join with you, your guides and your angels to support your continuing progress through this challenging difficulty.

I know that you will feel comforted and in time be able to move about in the night on foot here or there and remember it's always alright to go with a friend. Make sure the friend is supportive and during your time doing this work if you need to hear your friend and you speak to your friend, it is best if your friend simply says, "I am here." Nothing else - just so you hear their voice.

That's all on that for now. Good luck with this work. I feel you will enjoy it the way it is stated and perhaps feel better in time.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Advice On Inviting The Rain

Normally I would have answered Patrice's comment in the comment area of Co-operative Motion, Part 3 but it seemed quite specifically like something that you might all get something out of.

As you may already know, there are further teachings that go on in the comment area when I feel someone asks a question or says something that might be of appealing interest to others as well as the questioner.

Here then is my answer to Patrice which I am deciding to share with you openly on the blog itself.

Patrice's comment:

Dear Robby
Woke up at 3 in the morning in my motel just in front of Grand Lake (Col) and it was raining, followed your suggestion and walked out without waiting, the rain stopped almost immediately and let me enjoy a short ceremony I did in front of the lake, even greeted me with a beautifull reflection of the moon on the dark waters just in front of me...
Thanks for the help you give us to walk in Beauty
Goodlife
Patrice
6:58 AM

Patrice, you have had a good experience with the rain moving aside when you went outdoors.

Now that you have had the rain fall on your body though and you know the feeling on your face and you may be traveling in areas that need the rain, remember the feeling of the rain on your face and arms and body and if there is the need for rain in the area where you are traveling then stand someplace in the open where you are safe and focus entirely and only on remembering that rain on your body - remember you want to remember the feeling as physically as you can in your body - and say the following Living Prayer before you do this.

I recommend you say, "I am asking that the thirst of the plants, animals and people in this area be quenched by the rain that I will remember and invite now."

Goodlife my friend.

The Search And Promise Of Harmony

Consider the nature of life itself here on this planet. Everything here is working in harmony though it may not always be obvious. How is it possible that with all the struggle, pain and suffering that there is harmony going on?

Through the years, explanations from various philosophies and even religions have sought to explain this and reasonable suggestions have been made of what is the cause.

What if the true cause is that we can and do unconsciously invite a experience in order to assimilate at the deepest levels including our soul levels the outcome of that experience not only in terms of its immediate effect on our life and on the lives of others but the more lasting outcome - how it effects the greater community even in a wide area around us, possibly even the world.

This kind of experience does require a lot of struggle because we don't remember who we are. I believe that beyond this school of Earth that we are all in harmony in a conscious experiential way but here in this school we often struggle and even more often we struggle with ourselves.

I'm going to recommend that we all say the following Living Prayer and ask as much energy and loving heart to be present as you are able. I recommend we say, "I am asking that all those creations of human beings on this planet be influenced by the true love and friendship we have for each other at the soul level and beyond this Earth so that we can express for no logical reason and no need to create logic that love and harmony now."

I am not trying to blame logic. What I am saying however is that sometimes the need for irrefutable proof slows down the progress of heart, love and benevolent creation. It's good to have proof many times but sometimes we just need faith.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Unseen Energies - What Can You Do

Do you know that there are energies that are released from your body regularly.

It is not typical to be able to see these things but sometimes you might notice it and think that it's a trick of the eye.

It's usually seen in some form of dark color - usually quite dark and may be an abstract shape, might have a geometric form or simply an odd shape that looks like it might even be part of something else.

These kind of energies are not always a bad thing for you because sometimes they are benevolent and loving light beings but other times they are bits and pieces of released feeling that can be seen by those who are sensitive to seeing such things and can even be seen by the average citizen from time to time.

These energies are usually expelled from our bodies when we are involved in vigorous activity.

They are not parts of us exactly - they are usually, as I say, associated with unresolved feelings or even unresolved feelings of others that we have picked up because they are similar to our own unresolved feelings.

I am not trying to make a psychological statement here but rather I am speaking about the actual physical impact of these energies.

Do you know that these energies are often attracted to electronic or electromagnetic fields, therefore they might be caught up - through no desire of their own - but might be caught up and experienced in and around stereo systems or most often through television sets.

This does not mean that television is somehow evil but rather it means that these energies will sometimes seemingly fall out of the television.

Rarely can they be seen but as I say, some sensitive people will see them. It comes through the TV more often than you might imagine.

This is why sometimes after viewing the television for even a short time you might get an uncomfortable feeling.

The old thing that mothers used to say, and even fathers, to children if they were uncomfortable or restless around the television was, "Go outside and play dear - you'll feel better" and the children often did because they went out and played vigorously and when they did that - all forms of energy including their own would be radiated from them and when your energy is moving out it tends to push out that which is within you that is not you that you may have picked up simply because of moving through life and acquiring and being touched by this, that or the other - or touching things - a car, a can, a stick, a tree, anything.

So I'm not going to elaborate on this much more. I just want to give you a suggestion and I'm going to suggest it in the form of a Living Prayer that you might wish to say - it's up to you of course.

I would recommend that you say, "I am asking that all those objects around me in my day to day life whether I be outside my home or inside, whether I be at my work or anyplace where I am be cleared of any and all energies that may harm me or may cause harm to me or might cause me to be susceptible to harm and that this will happen in the most benevolent way for me and all life around me."

That's what I recommend. You'd be surprised how co-operative energy can be and therefore I feel this could serve you and even others unknown to you because of the nature of the request of the Living Prayer.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Co-operative Motion, Part 3

Now for some of you who've read part one and part two who may be living in areas where there are flooding rains, if you have had some good fortune with parting the clouds then what you can do if you don't mind getting wet - and you will not be able to stand out there with an umbrella alright because you will need to be able to see the sky - feel free to wear goggles and by all means rain gear if you like but not an umbrella - then you can try it.

Go out. Say, "Goodlife." Aim your right hand towards the sky and ask the clouds - alright - after you say goodlife - ask the clouds to part and let the sun shine where you are.

The reason you request for it to shine where you are is that you are asking - do you understand? It is meant to be, in that sense, a favor.

If you have that opportunity and the clouds do part and the sun does shine where you are then you can try this one other time.

If you are successful and the clouds part and the sun shines where you are, then wait for a time and I will give you a follow up on this in times to come.

You understand that we all need water and the plants need water too. This is not to be used to chase the rain away because you want to go to the beach and it's not to be used in some other way that is harmful to people, plants and animals.

It is training and you may not always be successful. You may not ever be successful but it is worth a try and I will build on this in the future as I often do.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Co-operative Motion, Part 2

You have, some of you, done the homework with the plants. For those of you who have done that - read on. Now I'd like you to try something else.

Go out during the daytime when you can see the clouds in the sky and look up towards some part of the sky where is not to bright and you can see well and make your right hand - even if it's not your primary hand - perhaps you are left handed but please use your right hand - make it flat and reach up towards the sky in the same way you'd reach towards another person to shake hands but your hand is completely flat you see.

Reach up towards the sky and aim it towards a cloud or two and gently move your hand - I recommend that you move your hand towards the right but you can move it gently towards the left if you like and say out loud, "Goodlife" and see what happens.

Now I understand that the clouds might be moving according to the wind but regardless of which way the clouds are moving, see if the cloud either stops or moves according to the direction you have requested.

Now you may think, "This is crazy" but some of you might have an idea now where things are going.

See if you can try that one or two or three days - just with the clouds.

You don't have to go out and try if it's raining but there's something you can try if you like especially if you live in an area where it's cloudy a lot - and some of you do. In this case you wouldn't just have individual clouds, the sky would tend to be cloudy most of the time.

Then do the same thing with your hand - say, "Goodlife" right towards the sky out loud and move your hand back and forth very gently, very slightly as if you were trying to part something - like parting curtains - and what you're doing is you are requesting - you don't have to say a Living Prayer - but what you are doing is that you are requesting that the clouds move aside for a moment so that the sunlight will come through.

Some of you will have success with this, others won't but it's leading towards something else.

Needless to say some of you can guess how this could be applied but you understand - what you're really doing is that you're making a request and I recommend that you do not excessively do this - you're going to do it just a little bit. If the clouds part and sunlight shines through, then pull your hand back and let the clouds reform the way they were.

You can try this - if you have success and the clouds part - you can try this one other time but that's all. Just the two times. If you don't have success don't worry about it. You can try it again sometime. If you're not having success with it, wait a week or two and try it again.

Alright, that's all for this time. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Co-operative Motion

I'd like to encourage some of you out there - we're going to try something if you like - and this is not intended to be a trick but rather another cornerstone in your natural talents and abilities to help you awaken to those possibilities.

For some of you it will be easier than others. For some of you, you will simply find it to be fantastic and beyond your belief in what is real.

It is important however to begin this teaching - and we have laid the steps and even a pathway leading up to it.

So this is what I'm going to suggest - I would like you to observe something at a distance. Let it be something that is completely benign - by that I mean - a tree branch would be good.

It can be in your yard, it can be in a park - anyplace like that and what I'm going to suggest is that you stand near it - you can sit near it if you prefer.

It would be best if the day is not windy or if the area you are in is not breezy - and it doesn't have to be a tree, it could be a bush or even a flowering plant.

First I recommend you say, "Goodlife" out loud to the plant. It is after all alive and goodlife is something that plants understand though I grant you do not all speak english as your native tongue but many of you do, so I recommend - goodlife.

Then wait for a moment. If you feel uncomfortable move on to another plant, bush or tree but if you feel comfortable then I would like to suggest that you simply ask out loud for the branch or flower to move. It doesn't have to move a lot - that's why it would be good if it's not a windy day you see but to just move a little bit one way or another.

It may come as a surprise to you that plants can actually move on their own and yet some of you already know this. If you see a movement don't automatically assume it's the wind.

There is reason behind this and purpose. It is a step towards something else.

If you have the impression or can clearly see that the branch or plant or even leaf has moved - simply say, "Thank you - goodlife" and move on to another plant. Try this with two or three plants and if you notice motion don't simply doubt it. Say, "Thank you - goodlife" and move on to another plant.

That's the homework. There will be more but this is a beginning and it is intended to teach you something that will be of great help.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

What Is Offered Here

I know some of you might have wondered why my last post was clearly directed towards people who are in the service or people who are either working in or stuck in prison and that's because it's important to recognize that the things we don't like in society still exist. That even things we do like in society sometimes have moments of great difficulty and struggle.

Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer and many of the things I teach about here are intended to be used in difficult situations as well as when times are more calm and therefore from time to time I will bring up the applications and the practices and the training for those of you who would like it - to put these things into your life - to improve the quality of your life and perhaps even the lives of your friends and family around you.

There is a great deal that can be done - more than you might even imagine. Not only is it possible to improve your experience with human beings and animals but even with elements and things that seem to be beyond any predictable control.

It is my intention here, as I have been doing, to continue to give you the foundational elements that will allow you to put into practice the most important capabilities that I feel will take you all through the coming years and changes that may take place in our society and to create as much benevolence for yourselves and those around you that you can.

I know we're all concerned about world events - I am too and that's why this site is dedicated to providing you with the capabilities you might wish to have and that is to create safety, benevolence, kindness, opportunity and an opportunity to leave the world a better place not only for your having been here but for while you are here.

I know that may seem to be a tall order and I am not making it a command or a demand but rather simply laying it at your feet and if you wish to absorb it, apply it and use it you are most definitely welcome.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Enhancing Living Prayer And Benevolent Magic In Difficult Situations

Today I would like to speak to you briefly about how Benevolent Magic can be enhanced.

We have taught extensively here about Benevolent Magic and Living Prayer. Some of you do not fully realize that this is not something that is only of words as in other kinds of prayers or other types of magic. It is also something that works much better when you feel a benevolent energy.

Some of you have this experience now and if you are amongst the people that do not have the experience then seek out teaching on how to experience it which is best done in person but I will continue to share what can be for you here including to simply request that the most beloved and loving energies, beings, guides, angels - if you care to say that and even Creator itself be present to provide you with the most loving energy that nurtures and supports and protects you.

I feel that if you say this once a day for perhaps three or four weeks, even if you have not felt energy before there's a good chance you will even in circumstances that are not always the safest.

Try to find an area or a place or a time when you feel as safe as you can be - say this and try to relax. If you are in a battle zone it may be difficult but it's possible even there. If you are in a prison it may be difficult and still it is possible even there. It is not unknown and many times much more frequent than you might imagine even in a war zone.

So it is possible and it does not have to distract you. You can remain alert and still feel it. It will of course inspire you and provide benevolent support of energy for you and most likely for those near you - sometimes even those far away. So I recommend giving it a try.

As far as then applying Benevolent Magic, you'll find that when you're feeling the energy you may not be able to read or think or open your eyes because it feels so good and you'll want to be in the feeling of it and when I say feeling you understand this is physical - it's not a thought.

So if you feel the energy and it begins to fade, check and see if you're thinking. If you're thinking it might actually get in the way because thought, as you know, can be so very interesting.

Try to keep your mind blank. One easy way to do that is to stare at something that has no particular subject in front of you - like a blank wall or the side of a hill or even a trench that has nothing particular going on in it to catch your attention. If it is dark than just stare into space.

So, if you cannot read to say the Benevolent Magic or Living Prayer as written here then try to memorize this Living Prayer which I've given many times here before but I'm going to apply it to a battle zone for those of you who might be in harms way. You might say, "I am asking that all those beings here in this area be insulated and protected from harm and that all those beings who are causing harm or may cause harm also be insulated and protected."

Now why do we say it that way? Very simply we say it that way because if we want all souls to co-operate, all souls must benefit - even in battle zones all souls must benefit.

It's hard to imagine on one side of a fight that somebody on the other side in another life beyond Earth, in another experience of life and in pure spirit is your friend but this is in fact the case. Still, I recommend memorizing that as stated for those of you who are in service or for that matter in prison.

Now the other most frequent Living Prayer you might say is this - try to memorize it so that you can say it while feeling the energy. You might say, "I am asking that all those beings who need help receive all the help they need now benevolently from all those beings who can help them."

This of course will include you since you are a being as well you see. Beings is a word I use because it covers not only human beings but animals and everything that is alive which is of course everything.

So, that's just a little refresher I like to give you from time to time because it's easy in our world of thought and intellect to get caught up in the idea that Benevolent Magic and Living Prayer are words when in fact to enhance them - energies of love and spirit are most effective.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Consider The Bluebird

Consider the bluebird in the sky - is it really blue? Of course to our way of thinking the color is blue, yes but why - you might reasonably ask - and is there a child who hasn't asked - why is the bird blue? This is not an unreasonable question.

Of course the answer globally is either, "Because that's the way Creator made the bird" or, "Because that's the way it is" or something like that - but it is not an unreasonable question.

Do you know that the colors of all creatures - including human beings - are purposely chosen by their souls.

All life is ensouled and everything is alive - remember this when you live your life. You cannot believe, I feel, in ensoulment for one portion of life and believe that there is no ensoulment for another and still believe in a version of Creator - whatever version you find appealing. I find the word Creator and the feeling of Creator to be comforting as well.

In the coming time I will speak more about why all beings choose to be their color, shape, size and so on but I don't want you to think I'm avoiding the question.

According to all that I have been taught and what I feel to be so from my experience the reason bluebirds are blue is because they choose to be reminders of all that is beautiful in the sky. It is not an accident that bluebirds fly across a sky which certainly appears blue to us much of the time.

Can you not consider, just for a moment, that we also choose to appear in a way that comforts us against our background and our surroundings while still being human beings.

We do not have the choice of variety of the animals but I feel Creator provides us with considerable variety in our hearts and in our minds and in our souls.

Still there is a reality of color. I feel that color is meant to be varietal. Have you looked at a garden and seen the different color of flowers. I believe that Creator of this planet loves variety and that's why we all have color and shape and size and yes, all forms of variety. I also believe that Creator loves all of Creator's creations equally. We can but try to do the same.

Good life to you all and goodnight.

We Are All Here...Why?

There is a place within the hearts and souls of all beings on Earth and beyond. This place could be labeled by the word - mutual benefit - okay, it's two words. Why do I bring this to our attention?

It is in the nature of our existence here that we are exploring in infinitesimal detail, when you consider how many of us there are and all of the variables in individuality, we are exploring the many details and ramifications of the experience of mutual benefit.

How can I do exactly what is right for me, what is the most beneficial, what is the most benevolent and that it somehow benefits you - especially if you don't know me, we never meet and perhaps we are in different places in the world.

For that matter, how can you do exactly what is right for you in the most benevolent way and I don't know you, we never meet and we do not even consciously know of each others existence?

I believe and I have been taught that the balance of benevolence which is at the nature of our hearts and souls is something that is a functional resonance within each and every one of us.

It does not come about only by what we have been taught by those who have raised us regardless of how beneficial - or perhaps not so they were. It comes about mostly by the way we're born, how we are touched by Creator before birth and our innate knowing.

How can it be that someone would do something self-destructive and it would be to your or my mutual benefit? I'm not saying that it is. What I am saying is that when we do something benevolent, and we are not always aware of when we do benevolent things, it effects us all mutually to our advantage.

How can we not be aware of doing something benevolent. It is possible that we will just do something that is a minor thing - go this way, not that but arrive where we wish to be or simply try it this way, not that but still accomplish our intention and this minor change in our plans, in our applications somehow contributes to someone else's benefit whom we may not know and may never meet.

Mutual benefit is like a playing field upon which we all occupy at one time or another. We are not competing however, we are striving towards accomplishing a greater good for the hearts and souls of each other and perhaps someday this greater good we are learning here with all of its details and vast reservoir of experience will be laid at the feet of all those who live in the future whether they be on this planet or another.

I believe we are here to learn and that that learning is not taking place because we have been slow to learn elsewhere but that we are here to learn so that we may provide in the best way our souls can - wisdom, experience and yes - love so that we may help others whom we are all connected to whether they be in our time or whether they be in some time to come.

I believe we are all here for our mutual benefit.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

A Special Place

Have you ever desired to go to some place of great beauty only to feel, alas, it is too far away.

Do you know that all over the Earth there are places like this. Sometimes they are recognized for their beauty, other times they are obscured - not easily seen - hidden but possible to find.

How do you know that you are in a place that is right for you? You will always be - almost but not quite overwhelmed by the feeling of welcome, love, support, nurturance and yes - home - even if it is not your physical home on Earth.

These places can be anywhere for there are so many of us we need them to be many places. Sometimes they are places meant to call us home. Other times which is more frequent there are places to activate home in our bodies, for home is not only a place that is a building, a town, friends, companions, lovers, family.

Home is a feeling in our hearts and bodies where we are accepted, loved and cherished for being exactly who we are and with the feeling of home we can accept, love and cherish all other beings regardless of their appearance, shape, size and temperament.

It is a place of absolute safety, a place where there is only home within you and others. There are hundreds of thousands of places like that on Earth. Sometimes these places get to be known as special spiritual places, other times they remain unknown and obscure - perhaps known to a select few or even just one.

Sometimes they're not even for human beings but the animals migrate there or come and go near there.

Know that it is natural for all of us to want and desire that feeling of home. I'd like to suggest the following Living Prayer. You could say, "I am asking to feel physically in my body and all around and about me the physical feeling of home and to feel that wherever I go that this feeling will be seeded so that others can have their own feeling of home - that this will occur in the most loving and benevolent way for me and all."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Seeing Energy Bodies For The Beginner And Beyond

Have I ever mentioned to you about practicing seeing a energy body - perhaps I have.

For those of you who can do this you can read on down a couple of paragraphs but for those of you who have not heard about this, this is what to do.

Practice with a tree or a mountain top or something that has a clearly defined edge as compared to what is behind it you see. A tree might have that if you were looking up at it towards a cloudy sky or even a blue sky.

It can be anything. It can be a young tree or an old tree. It could be a wall, say a block wall. Something that has a contrast to what's behind it and that what's behind it is preferably part of the natural world meaning not man-made but it's alright if it is man-made and it is - say a solid color - preferably a lighter color so you can see the energy body.

I wouldn't recommend starting by looking at human beings who are standing in front of some lighter colored something but for those of you who've had a little practice in this - you could but it has to be somebody you feel good about and somebody that feels good about you, that's all.

For those of you who haven't done it look at that object whatever it is, then look slightly above - perhaps a little bit to the left or right of the object and begin concentrating your point of vision slightly above - just slightly above or slightly to the left or right of what you're looking at.

Now some of you might see or notice beneath the point where you're looking a lighter part of the view. If you get the impression of that - don't look at it at this point. Rather, continue to move your point of view up or slightly to the left or slightly to the right but up further from what you're looking at.

What you're going to notice is that beneath the point you're looking at but above or slightly to the left or slightly to the right of what you're looking at is a brighter area. Remember if you look back down to see this glowing energy body it will go away - that's because you're training yourself right now to learn how see it and in training this is a perfect example of how you have to let go of what you're doing - you see. It's also a good way to train on how to let go of any attachment to the outcome.

So what's going to happen is for many of you, if not most, you'll see this lighter area. Then what you can do, if you like - now those of you who know how to do this can pick it up here - is to stand back a bit further if you can and look at that tree or look at that wall and again focus on what's above it and what you'll see is a glow from the entire top of the wall.

Again don't look at the wall, just look above it and that's how you train to see this energy body. It is around everything but when you train like this you can see it easier - okay.

So for those of you who've been doing this for a while it is now time to try looking at human beings, if you haven't already done it but only those that know you're doing this and that feel good about you and you feel good about them.

You don't have to be a couple, that's alright too but just be friends or feel good about each other - that's all - so that any exchange of energy is benevolent for you both - that's why you see.

Then again when you're looking at a human being, now if you're just starting to do this don't do this - this is the advanced material for those of you who already can see this - if you're looking at a human being then see if you can have them stand or sit in front of something that is pale or lighter colored then that person.

Now what you do is you look at the perimeter of their body - most likely you'll look from their head down to their shoulders and so on.

I find that when doing this kind of thing that it's good to begin with the left side of the person. It doesn't have to be their left side of their body just from your point of view it would be to the left of them and/or if you prefer look above them or look to the right, it's up to you. I find that looking to the left is easier or looking above them.

At this point you're not looking for colors of energies but you can look for just the energy, practicing it the same way as you've done before or the same way as described above and see.

Just do this for about a minute or two at the most. If you happen to notice a color then you can interpret it as follows in the case of this kind of work.

If it is green, a light green it would represent healing energy that is either coming from that person and you can simply see it or it's coming from a being who is providing healing energy and you can see it or it may be coming through you from a being and it is doing good for you both. That's the way to look at that always.

If you happen to see any other color it is most likely going to be something like blue or a light blue. That would have to do with a soothing or healing of the mind energy and would come in the same way as mentioned.

Other colors that you may see from time to time are gold or yellow. That would always have to do with a activation and support of Earth resources - by that that means anything having to do with Earth including anything having to do with your physical body and is often associated with expansion in the physical sense. By expansion I do not mean in volume but rather in capability.

Those are the main colors you're likely to see around a person when you begin seeing colors. If there are other colors and you're not sure what they mean you can ask and I will provide what I am able.

I just wanted to get you started on this and for others who have read about this or begun, to give you the next step as I said I would. We do try to build on things here and it is my intention to always provide a little more so that you can feel the sense of your own value, an appreciation of our world and the knowing that there is spirit in the most loving way looking after us all here.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Pathways

You walk upon your path on a daily basis. Sometimes it is clear and easy to see - go this way, not that way. Other times it is more vague or there are many pathways that cross yours and you're not sure - which one is my path - and still more.

There might be pathways that are emerging like a root from a tree that comes up and then down and you're not even sure which tree it's from. Thence you're not sure which path - whether it's yours, somebody else's? In my true feelings these days I find that it's not always easy for us to stay on our path.

Other people's path's look so good from a distance don't they but that's because we're not actually walking on them and we don't always see everything else that's on that path.

So often people envy us at a distance and most often we never know and very often we envy others at a distance and usually they never know - and yet there are frequently wonderful things in our lives that we don't always notice. I know I have that experience sometimes and I have a feeling you do too.

Then there are other times when we have difficult things and sometimes other people do not notice when we are going through difficulties.

I'd like to make a suggestion - you don't have to do it, consider it that's all. I think it would be good for us to have a little calendar and at the end of the day to just put a check mark in a little box that says "good" - meaning overall it was a good day or another little box saying "eh - okay - not bad" and then another little box that says "challenging."

Let's try to get over saying, "bad - bad day" when one thing seems to emerge from our day as being difficult and in the process we overlook the good things that happened that day - some of which we don't always notice.

I'm not trying to lecture you. I'm like you, I have my path and sometimes I get confused, "Is it my path or somebody else's?" Just like you.

One thing I try to pay attention to though, and sometimes I forget also, and that's about the good things on my path. I feel that some of us are shy or afraid to say - we've had a good day and I understand. Sometimes I'm shy like that too, however I feel that when taken at its cumulative value - meaning over time - that it's good for us to remind ourselves that we have good things in our life and that those good things very often do counterbalance the more challenging things.

Sometimes we just have to turn around and look at what's there that's good. Other times it's right in front of us.

I definitely wish for you good experience and good noticing of the good things in your life and a benevolent outcome for your day, for your week and for your life.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Co-operation

Mutual co-operation is a cornerstone of how we function here on Earth. I know it doesn't seem that way very often but in fact there is vastly more co-operation then there is conflict.

Now you might say and perhaps not unreasonably that you might at times find that hard to believe and yet when you consider the complexities of human society and how we all weave and interweave in and out of each others lives, sometimes noticeably - very often not so noticeably, there is a massive amount of co-operation.

What we take to be coincidence, I believe, is not coincidence at all. In fact I do not believe in coincidence as a separate phenomena. I believe that what we call coincidence is truly co-operation.

There are many ways of course to look at life here but in my experience the slightest alterations in our plans for the day which most often are unconscious - meaning we don't think about them, we just do them - are examples of co-operation.

How many times do you drive into the parking lot looking for a space and you think - I'm going to turn to the left for a space and find yourself completely unexpectedly turning to the right, not because of the traffic flow but you just do it and you say - now why did I do that? Very often, in my experience, this has to do with some form of co-operation.

Perhaps whoever turned to the left found the space because they needed it more urgently or perhaps it goes the other way. Perhaps when you turned to the right you found the space because you needed it more urgently. This is very often the case.

I realize that using a parking lot seems mundane and yet as I have observed - I believe that many, many times, more so then we consciously think about, such things occur - little things that we don't think about.

So the next time you're feeling unlucky because you didn't get that special space in the parking lot, maybe you were unconsciously co-operating with one of our fellow beings here who needed it more even though it may not always be obvious why. So consider, just consider - maybe co-operation is much more common then we realize.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Assimilating, Observing And Applying Techniques To Create, Part 2

Now that you have experimented a bit touching or protecting or shielding your solar plexus or your navel area then I'd like you to attempt something.

For those of you who have television or watch television this will be easier because it's quick and simple and I'll give that instruction first.

Put on a program on television that is as benign as you can find - perhaps something about people - oh - working in their gardens - this is not meant to be something that is necessarily entertaining to you, it can be though - that is alright.

It doesn't have to be a garden show but it can be. Something that is not controversial to you, that does not upset you and perhaps even bores you just a little bit - and put your arms down at you side.

It's alright to have your palms on you legs if you are sitting alright, but we don't want your belly button or your solar plexus to be covered by your arms - of course it's perfectly alright to have clothing on or even a blanket if you happen to be in bed.

Watch it for a time and then just turn it off and relax - a time meaning perhaps ten minutes. If the advertising comes on be sure and either turn it off during the advertising or turn it to something completely neutral - meaning a station upon which there is nothing - then turn it back when you feel the programing may be on or if you prefer let that segment alone be the support for what we're doing.

You will notice your body is somewhat relaxed - some of you might feel anticipation because your body is prepared to react.

Many of you are aware of the term - the fight or flight reaction, in your body. Both of these reactions stimulate almost the same chemicals in your body - there is a slightly different chemical that is natural to your body according to one or the other but most of the body chemistry is at least similar in either reaction.

Then without drawing any conclusions I'd like you to put on a program for a few moments that's at least exciting - it doesn't have to be violent but something that's exciting or tense - just have that on for about two minutes, that's enough.

Notice how you feel physically. You're actually experiencing the fight or flight feeling in your body or at the very least - excitement.

Now this is an important step because you will need to understand physically what's going on and how you are artificially stimulating the discomfiture in your body.

So after the two minutes or so of that program, turn it off. You will simply have noticed during that, the change of physical feeling in your body.

The important thing to note here is that what you take in - and you take things in from your belly button much more that you do in your mind - your mind functioning in a filtering state almost all the time - your belly button being completely exposed - really - almost all the time - what you take in then is immediately reacted to by your solar plexus throwing out as much defenses or pushing life away as much as possible. In the case of excitement, sometimes. In the case of fear or agitation or stress, all the time.

Think what aspects in your life cause you stress. Do you really want to stimulate and support stress artificially with these television programs?

Now for those of you who do not watch television very much, then take note of these things in life. Perhaps you will be someplace where people are arguing, then you can cover your belly button as best you can - even slide your hand down over it as you walk by the people or drive by perhaps or ride by - then release and allow yourself the exposure, underneath your clothing of course. If possible, turn your body to the point where you feel less stress or cover that part of your body.

I know this is complicated and I don't wish to make it too much so. The whole point is this, what your belly button feels or takes in or you might simply say receives in life whether it is a part of your actual life or associated with something that is artificial as in television or even theatre - your solar plexus always reacts to whether it is real or artificially stimulated.

Sometimes this prompts you to push away an opportunity or a good possibility - perhaps an opportunity to create, support or perpetuate a relationship or friendship. Sometimes you might miss an opportunity in career or in some other pursuit you are looking forward to.

I know this is a lot of homework - and then I have to describe things at length because there is no illustrative methods here available to me at this time for you. Still, I feel that it is worth your experimentation. I will build on this in the future.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Assimilating, Observing And Applying Techniques To Create

There is a place now for each and every one of us that co-ordinates directly with our physical reality.

It is a place that's remarkably unprotected and there is something that we can all do to protect it, to nurture it and to recognize that its safety has everything to do with our creations in life and that place is our solar plexus.

Did you know that our reality is largely perceived and created from that general area of our bodies. When you think about it, it makes complete sense.

After all our belly button, or our navel as it's called, is right below the solar plexus and don't you think that Creator would quite naturally place the connection from the life giving energy of mother to baby in the exact place that is meant to draw our attention.

The belly button, or the navel, is the place of reception and the solar plexus is the place of creation - meaning that what you take in in the general area of your belly button is what is thrust out in the general area of your solar plexus.

I'm not being exactly precise here because there is some variances from individual to individual.

I'm mentioning this not because it's such a revelation to some of you but because it's important to remind yourself that certain places in your body benefit from being covered when there is stressful situations.

I recognize that this is not always possible but have you not noticed that belt buckles very often are elaborate and large.

This is not only a styling statement but when the pants are worn in the appropriate location - this is not a styling criticism on my part - the appropriate location meaning so that the belt buckle centers when necessary over the belly button - then at those occasions when you feel stress - not necessarily meaning that something is happening to you but something is happening around you - perhaps people are arguing - if you cannot actually move away from the scene then you can discretely either pull your pants up or down just a little bit so that you can get that piece of metal over your belly button.

Normally it's not good to do this. If you were to reach down right now with one of your hands and cover your belly button you might feel a little uncomfortable but if you're in a stressful situation and you do that you'll probably feel a little better. Try it, you'll see - and experiment with it.

It's no accident that when people are stressed or annoyed or upset that they often cross their arms - over your chest? No, if you actually notice it, it's lower than that and that's an attempt unconsciously to get your arms over your belly button or at least over your solar plexus.

You'd be surprised how often people will cross their arms over their solar plexus if they feel angry and they are unconsciously attempting to avoid reacting - perhaps saying something you'll regret later - we all know that one eh.

So this is the beginning of something that I'm going to build on more in the future. For right now I just want you to observe. It won't take that much trouble on your part.

Many of you work or are simply exposed to stressful situations as a part of life even if they do not directly concern you.

Try it and if you feel yourself getting angry and are afraid you're going to say something that you'll regret, cross your arms over your solar plexus or put your hands over that.

You know sometimes you're talking on the phone and people are agitated - just put your arm or your hand over that part of your body and it will tend to calm that area that reacts.

I'll say more about the benevolent aspect of what the solar plexus does and how you can encourage your belly button, meaning your navel, to be exposed to that which is benevolent or to support the exposure of that part of your body to the benevolent aspects of life and thence train your solar plexus to respond in kind. I'll say more about that soon but for now I'd just like you to try to experiment. It might be interesting for those of you who have not already done this - I know many of you have.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Something To Think About

Moral principals - so differently defined by different philosophies, ways of life, religions - perhaps the golden rule being one of the best: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you - a very good one.

Have you ever thought about - given your life experience, your ideals, wishes, hopes and dreams - what are your moral principals and what would you say based upon your life experience would be the best moral principals for others to follow?

This isn't exactly homework but it's something to think about. If you do want to submit something here in the commentary area - feel free.

I would suggest that it would be good to take into account the nature of life here - most importantly your experience and what you would see as unifying principals. In short, how are we all alike, what would we all want and need and how would you address that with moral principals?

I grant that there are many religions and philosophies that have addressed that fairly well but since this is a blanket suggestion, you can either pull from all of them or you can provide your own beliefs. Something to think about this weekend.

I feel that in these changing times in which people are insisting - and rightly so that they be treated benevolently and many others are insisting - and I believe rightly so that they be allowed to treat others benevolently that this is something good to think about. I'd be interested to know what you might have to offer.

Goodlife.

Have You Ever Wondered...

Have you ever wondered why the world seems so complicated. Why the issues keep coming up. Why don't we all speak the same language? In short, why?

The reason "why" exists is because we are here to learn. As I've said over and over I grant, this is a school and you know - we are born with "why" literally in our blood.

The miracle of birth, for it is truly that - though it is certainly hard labor for mother, is a fascinating thing.

The child begins to explore the first chance they can move around. What do my fingers taste like? What do my toes taste like? And how often have you had the opportunity to put your finger into a little babies hand and watch babies little teeny fingers wrap around your finger. Is it not an amazing thing?

Does it not prompt you to wonder why things are the way they are? It is a challenging place here. As a school it is not meant to be a discipline. It is meant to be more of a laboratory: What works? How does it work? Why? Do we like the way it works? Do we want to improve it? What can we do to improve it? Now that we have improved it is it better than it was before? Do we want it back the way it was?

These and other questions are on our minds when we are young, when we are middle-aged and when we are old. Very often when we get older there is a longing to have things back the way they were and yet it is that very change that helps us to be able to let go of life as we see around us. Granted we love our friends and our family and they love us and yet letting go is so important isn't it.

That's why when we get old the world has changed for us and that's why when baby is born with all of those questions why and with all of that capacity to discover and all of the wonders to be found - why is important when we are babies - when we get older we haven't released why but we relate to why differently.

So many questions and not so very many firm answers. That is good though because in a laboratory we want to keep exploring why, how, when, where, who and ultimately - what. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Familiarizing Your Thoughts And Feelings With Safety

Your lives are treading upon new territory. Much of what you say and feel and do will be that which is new to you. I know there is a desire to have a sense of security, peace and yet at times there is the pleasure of excitement.

Excitement however does pose an attraction to risk as well as experiencing it even when experienced in an artificial fashion such as in a movie or other such entertainment.

I'm going to suggest that since your lives are encompassed now in attracting the physical qualities that you wish to experience and that causes you to feel safe that it would be a good time to have another, as I like to call it sometime, actors workshop and this is an actors workshop that is for those who are more than actors, those who are actors, those who are other than actors - that's alright.

Here's your performance that I'd like you to try for today - imagine in your mind being completely safe. It might be a situation where you are recalling a circumstance, it might be something totally imagined.

If you can create that as a thought then see if you can experience it as a feeling and then, here's where the acting part comes in, see if you can be so engaged in it as a thought and a feeling that you feel as if you are literally emanating it like the light from a light bulb throughout the space in which you are currently occupying.

It might be a quiet ride on a train perhaps. It might even be a quiet moment on a bus, long from your stop. It might be completely in private in your home or some other quiet place.

It is good to begin this practice on your own or quietly. It's alright if there are other people or even pets there but it's good to practice it.

I'd like you to give it a try for about two or three weeks whenever you can do it. I feel it will provide for you not only a sense of relaxation in your sometimes harried world but because it will help you to familiarize your physical and mental state with that feeling you'll find that you'll be able to bring up that feeling and thought process at times when it will not only put you at ease but will actually perform the function of safety.

Safety is not only a condition, it is not only a set of circumstances, it is an actual broadcast energy and while I do not suggest that you attempt to broadcast it - the more you feel it, the more you train your thoughts to be engaged with that which causes you to feel safe and allow your feelings to support your thoughts of safety - so you will naturally emanate that safety.

It may not always protect you in every situation but it can be protective in many situations. First try the experience with it for the next two or three weeks whenever it's convenient and then begin to use it.

It isn't meant to be a substitute for being careful and cautious and paying attention to your circumstances in your world but very often it can by its very emanation create a calmer and even yes - at times, a safer experience of life for you.

Give it a try if you like. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Retrain Your Mind For Your Benefit

Have you ever noticed when you wake up from a nap or perhaps when you get up in the morning or after your sleep time - that as you're gradually waking up you feel pretty good and then like an unwelcome visitor your subconscious or perhaps subtle fears kick in and places where you often have pains you "feel" them but actually what is happening is that your thought triggers them.

This does not mean that your thought is somehow the enemy. Rather your thought is attempting to prepare you for your day or prepare you for your waking state and it is attempting to be the tactician suggesting that this could happen and that could happen and therefore one must prepare as one normally does.

I want to suggest something very simple along the lines of other things suggested here from time to time and that is when you wake up from any sleep - it will take a while to train to do this but you can get there - it has been a discipline for me - when you wake up from any sleep, if possible become aware or bring your awareness into the bottoms of your feet.

You can wiggle your toes around if that's comfortable or if you've already swung your legs out over the bed you can move your feet around on the floor or on the ground wherever they happen to be.

Try to be conscious then, not only of what you need to do immediately after you wake up but be conscious - literally have your consciousness in the bottoms of your feet.

What this means essentially is sensitizing the bottoms of your feet. That's why it's good to trigger them slightly - moving them around you see - on the rug or other stimulation like that.

I am not saying to not pay attention to where you are walking or where you are going but this kind of discipline - because it really is a mental discipline - will prompt you to, over time, simply become aware of some part of you body that feels good.

Now for some of you your feet may not feel good, then perhaps your hands feel good. Do the same thing with your hands or with any part of your body that normally feels good.

In this way it is possible to retrain your mind to expect to feel good when you wake up in the morning. It won't work a hundred percent of the time of course but it is often a very valuable way to bring about a state of condition wherein your mind is less of a tactician and more of a comforter that helps to bring about a benevolent and balanced state of affairs in your waking state.

Give it a try and see how it works for you. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
