Confronting Life As A Real Thing

A crisis of conscience is something that all people on a spiritual path experience at least once, usually more often than that. Recently someone asked a question about that which I posted on one of my other blogs and it got me to thinking about how often this occurs for us all.

After all, before we get interested in spirituality and mystical and shamanic and all of the other things that I speak about on this blog and my others we live our lives don't we.

We have experiences, we develop attitudes, we live - and then over time we begin to examine, to explore, to put things together. We acquire knowledge, information, perhaps we're fortunate and meet a teacher or two who help us and ease us on to a more benevolent path for us. And then as life would do we are presented with things that used to upset us and we try out our new spirituality perhaps - take it out for a spin so to speak and yet how often it happens that those old things still upset us and our new spirituality cannot always bring us through with ease.

I'm not bringing this up because I'm criticizing anybody, I'm bringing it up because it's a real thing that happens to us all and I want you to know that it is a solvable situation.

This is what I recommend for starters. First I recommend you say the following benevolent magic. I recommend you say, "I request that I be able to unite my true spiritual beliefs that give me comfort now with all that has upset me in the past and present and that these good feelings from my beliefs are able to overcome that which has brought me down and made my life one of conflict in the past. And that this resolution will result in the most benevolent outcome."

That's what I recommend you say for starters and then the next thing I recommend - and it is the most important is that you have patience with yourself. Don't expect perfection. You're on your spiritual path now or you're considering it perhaps and it will take time.

You'll have to apply it to different times and situations and see how it works. If it works you'll say, "Alright, this is for me." If it doesn't work you'll say perhaps, "I need to modify this. I need to add something or subtract something." Give yourself time. You are learning something that requires testing for you. Don't accept it at face value if it doesn't fit into your life. So do try it out. If it works - wonderful. If it doesn't work don't just throw it away.

Give it a chance by adding more or trying something that works better for you. That's what I recommend.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Here's Something You Can Do Right Now To Help

Greetings, I am putting this post up on both the blogs because I'm going to ask you all to say some living prayers here. Now if you've been reading these blogs for a while you know to ask for the most benevolent energies to be present, available and all around and about you and wait a couple of minutes. And then if you would care to say slowly the following living prayer.

You might say, "I am asking that all those people and beings who need help whether because of fire, flood, drought or any other cause receive all the help and assistance they need now - benevolently from all those people and beings who can help them." Remember if you're saying more than one living prayer to always wait at least 5 minutes between saying them.

Here's another one you could say if you're so inclined, "I am asking that the fires cool no matter what their cause, no matter where they are to the point of being only light and benevolent light at that. And that the floods calm to the point where they are only nurturing and supportive. And that the anger subside to the point where it is only stimulating, enjoyable conversation."

You may also say if you choose to participate, "I am asking that the hearts of all beings open to each others needs and fulfill those needs in the most benevolent way with the greatest co-operation and kindness you can provide."

Thank you all for your participation. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Safely Contacting Benevolent Spirits

People have asked over time how you can involve the energies of spirits to help to bring about that which you request for others or even yourself or your family.

This is something that needs to be practiced over time. You can begin by sitting someplace quietly and it needs to be someplace comfortable where you don't have to move around much - ideally not at all. So get into a comfortable position. Before you do that, make sure that you will not be disturbed. So you may have to do this at some time of the day or night when that would be possible. Also it's best if the ringer is off on the phone. In short, it needs to be someplace quiet - and then say this.

I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those benevolent and loving beings that are available for me now be present in, around and near me in a way that I can feel most benevolently." That's a living prayer and it may begin to help.

If you want to, and this is only if you want to, you can have your chair set up so that you are facing a blank wall and perhaps you are about 6 to 8 feet away from the wall. By blank I mean literally nothing on it and that may not be easy for you to do but it's something you can do, not a requirement.

So sit there quietly and be conscious in your physical body - meaning don't meditate in the way of a creative visualization - alright. So don't try to imagine what the spirits are looking like. Just try to be there physically, being present you understand, and not think.

So notice if you feel physically any different. If you get a tingling or if you feel a benevolent energy or if there's even a sense of touch and don't be frightened - alright. This is the kind of thing that might take time and recognize that if the feeling you get is benevolent - meaning it feels good to you - most likely this is a benevolent spirit. Remember, because you're saying the living prayer you're not going to attract something scary.

If you are concerned about attracting something scary or if your home or neighborhood is known for having - oh, scary things happen that - quote go bump in the night unquote then this is what to do before you say the living prayer but after you sit down.

First say this living prayer. You might say, "I am asking that my most benevolent protectors be here and form around me in a complete sphere allowing only the most benevolent gold light beings and light beings to be present who are benevolent, gentle, loving and kind with me." If you decide to say that then wait at least 5 minutes before you say the other living prayer.

Now I've decided to offer this for you since there have been requests. If there are more requests I will give other suggestions.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

The Light That Feeds

Do you know that rainbows nourish the land, the plants, the animals and yes - even us. It is not just a scientific wonder. It is not a thing of beauty only. It is actually intended to feed all that it touches.

I have seen rainbows where people actually walk through the light as it was coming down illuminating the Earth and I have spoken to people who have walked through them who felt buoyed up as a result of that contact. I do not know whether science recognizes this or not but I know and I have been taught that the light that illuminates (feeds) it is also our opportunity without any training to see light in all of its great beauty. It is a way for us to be reminded how our natural energy, which is light, is food.

The plants, the animals, Mother Earth herself all know this. Even science is willing to consider that light is a form of matter and that as such it is a support system. I'm sure you can find it if you look for it in the annals of science and other places. Nevertheless I just wanted to remind you today that the beauty of a rainbow is also food.

Do you have any rainbow stories? If you do feel free to share them here for us all.

Goodlife.

Flexibility

And so - times change and so do we all. You may have noticed that things are changing on the global level and on the local level.

This is not surprising because in order for our world to go ahead we must begin to equalize and have balance. I know that we all want everyone to have peace, food, shelter, comfort and the other good things of life and so this may require a little more sharing. I believe that that sharing will be more welcome than it is frightening.

There will be changes however and we will all see that to some degree. Don't worry about making great sacrifices. I don't feel that that is going to be the case but we may have to accept the fact that our image will change, that we may see ourselves as others see us and that we may also be able to see others as they see themselves. And this will be ultimately a very good thing though there will be some moments of shyness and even some embarrassment. Still, when viewed on the world front it will be a good thing in time though there will be a few bumpy roads yet to come.

Think of it as something that ultimately creates a more benevolent society and remember to keep up your sense of humor. If we can laugh at ourselves and laugh through the pain when it comes we will be able to feel a sense of kinship we have not known nor experienced before. It's surprising how forgiving people can be when we're able to laugh at ourselves and feel pride in the accomplishments of others.

We'll get through this thing, this life, this world and I believe we'll do it as brothers and sisters with each other.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sweets And Receptivity

Did you know that when you eat sweet things it makes you more receptive. I think that that is something that we all know at a certain level and that is an established fact in certain places and it's true. People have studied this extensively - certainly candy makers and others but it is a important fact to be aware of and I'm going to tell you why.

Do you know that when you watch television and eat sweet things that the chances of your taking in an energy - a stray energy perhaps that's passing through the electrical circuits or a message on the TV that you might not necessarily like - you might take that in to your body and your body not knowing that it's any different than anything else will attempt to process it.

So - suggestion, lets just keep it simple eh. When you're eating sweet things I recommend that you do not have the television on or that you're not near it and that you try to have the energy and the atmosphere around you as calm, friendly and pleasant as possible. That's my recommendation.

Just something short today. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 6 (Dreams)

Now, some of you have noticed in these past few weeks an increase in dreams. The increase however sometimes will bring up old dreams that you've had that you thought you were done with. They might be unsettling, they might be strange or odd.

This is what to do. I recommend you say a living prayer for the beings in the dream. Now I know that may sound strange. Some of you undoubtedly feel that it is you in the dream but if you can remember in detail you will remember that the person you see in the dream is not yourself - they don't look like you.

This has to do with lessons along the lines of guide training that you may be receiving or that others may be receiving that you are able to sit in on so to speak as a spirit or soul with your teachers to understand the nature of how Earth and other worlds function and the nature of service and how we all help each other.

So - these dreams, unsettling though they may be, will not signal a new round for these old dreams you've had. Rather these are observations of real people on this planet - or possibly variations of other school-like planets, though there aren't that many.

In this case I recommend you say the following living prayer. It will probably eliminate your having those dreams again. At the very least, it will help people out.

I recommend you say, "I am asking that..." (then you mention the name or the circumstances or the people you saw in the dream) "...experience the most benevolent resolution for their challenges and as a result of this resolution experience the most benevolent outcome in their lives." That's what I recommend you say.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 5

As I said I would say more about this. Now, one of the issues that you will be experiencing as a result of this event is considerably more compassion for your fellow beings - and by fellow beings I am not excluding non-humans. After all we are living on this planet with a great many beings some of whom are not people as we understand them to be.

So, you will feel a sense of compassion that actually encourages you to do something. Now - there will be times when you can actually do something direct but if there isn't something that you can do directly and you want a living prayer you can say in these specific circumstances this is exactly what to say.

Remember - when the energy comes up to stop saying it until the energy fades a bit and then continue with the words. Do that every time in case the energy comes up and when you are done if the energy is present - don't think - just wait until it fades. The energy will help to bring it about.

This is what you can say in a living prayer. You might say, "I am asking that all the feelings I am experiencing in my compassion now, help to bring about the most benevolent outcome for those whom I am concerned about now." That's all you say.

You are entrusting all the spirit beings who help to bring about the benevolent result that you are requesting and you are also entrusting your own soul and the soul and spirits of all other human beings who are involved in one degree or another of co-operation to bring about the most benevolent outcome associated with living prayer and for that matter benevolent magic. But just do a living prayer in this situation.

Now you're not going to feel so very tender - alright - but this compassion is a real thing. You will notice it and I recommend that you do that living prayer. It will help you to feel better and it will do good.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 4

What else can you expect from this event. Below you will see a question from Patrice, a regular reader of these blogs:


Anonymous said...

Dear Robert could the event also result in an impression of feeling lost or disoriented, like not finding how to go ahead in this new energy. Having old emotions and pains surfacing without reason? But at the same time feeling that it's Ok.

Goodlife

Patrice


It is possible as a result of this event to experience what Patrice has mentioned. As a result you will feel not so very upset as you might have felt in the past when concerning matters like that. You will be able to get through it a lot easier because you won't have the same feeling of attachment to those issues.

True, the feelings will come up but you'll get through them fairly quickly and after you do get through them - now don't avoid them, go through the feelings but after you do go through the feelings you will notice that those experiences will seem to fall away. Not only will you not have much attachment to them but you might personally feel a little different.

I'll say a lot more about that in the future but just for now I want you to know that these feelings are a possibility and if more of you note that they come up I'll say more about it sooner but for right now I want you to know that it is possible.

Also know that when these feelings come up that it is a good thing to consult other people who may be doing this work from reading these blogs as well as the ones on A Mystical Man's World and if you can compare notes that will also help you to feel better.

Remember - take note of how you do not feel as upset as you can recall yourself feeling about these issues in the past and as I said, I'll say more about that soon.

Goodlife.

Moving Through...

Do you ever get depressed. In this day and age it's not unusual to feel that sometimes.

I recall when I was growing up, that like all parents of the time my parents would often tell me about the good things of life and most of the other kids in the neighborhood were told similar things though a few were told about the hazards - and my Father would sometimes warn me about hazards as well.

Nevertheless growing up can sometimes create a myth can't it - a myth of life and I have found that very often the reason I will get depressed is that I have cultured within me either from my youth or from my other experience a belief in something that is not literally true. It might just be a desire. It's difficult sometimes isn't it - sometimes when we see things we want them to be true, sometimes when we imagine things we want them to be true.

I don't get depressed very often but it does happen to me now and then and I'm sure it happens to you as well from time to time. Lets try to remember that when depression takes place it's almost always based on a myth of life which may not be about something that's true.

Sometimes also, I know for some people, it is something that they are born with and that medicine has yet to properly address but they will in time - I believe that.

I'm not trying to say, "Oh, poor us." I'm rather saying that we all have these moments when we are disappointed and sometimes fall into a deeper disappointment. For us though it is important to utilize benevolent magic and living prayer and other means to move through these momentary difficulties.

Life is challenging enough isn't it and we can but try to keep each other cheered up, buoyed up to face life and move through these hard times. I am hopeful you will move through your hard times smoothly, easily and with grace.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 3

Have you noticed lately that you have had not quite as much attraction to reading blogs or even blogging yourself. Don't assume that this means that your blogging time is over or that your friends blogs that you read are no longer interesting. I know most of you are not thinking this way but some of you've been wondering about this.

Let me explain. The recent event that happened that I referred to in the last post in regards to this subject - I did not talk so much about what you would experience as time goes on. I'm going to add to that a bit today.

Many of you will feel now a very strong desire to get out and meet people. On the one hand you'll want to call old friends and speak with them and sometimes you want to call family members and speak with them regardless of your past connections or not.

Still there will be a feeling that will grow and you'll notice it, some of you have already noticed it, of a desire to meet people - even if it means simply going out to market or standing out in front of your home and being friendly with neighbors as they walk by.

It's important to know that this is connected to that event.

There have been a long string of moments leading up to this. Because of life and its complications, regardless of where we live, we've been gradually withdrawing more and more into a world that felt as safe as we could make it but now it's a time to emerge from that shelter we had to create out of necessity. And that emergence is taking this form - the form of a desire to be amongst people - not for any reason of safety but rather a reason of simple friendliness and curiosity.

It is almost like being young again where one runs out to be with the other children. Of course in this case those whom I'm speaking to here are not - for the most part - children but rather are people who've been in the world and have had to, at times, retreat from the world.

This is a time then where you will feel that attraction. So pick your time and pick your place and go out and look at people around you. If they smile at you and it feels safe - smile back. If you have the opportunity to strike up a conversation or if someone strikes one up with you - talk - see what it's like to meet people again.

It is a good sign this. It's not something fleeting though it will feel like that at times.

Once upon a time, so to speak, a long time ago we as souls and our ancestors as well came to this place - this planet of learning. We were very social beings and were inclined to accept the offer of guides, angels and those who sent them to us and at that time we felt that the most wonderful thing would be to come to this fabulous planet with all of its variety of animals and plants. We did come here and over time experienced many things as I've discussed in the explorer race books and amongst these things was a gradual withdrawal from our social life that we'd known beyond this planet because when we came here we forgot who we had been.

We were no longer connected to people from other planets as typically happens on other planets. Here we gradually learned that we had to survive and struggle and get along as best as possible.

I'm not trying to condense the history here of many thousands of years and millennia for that matter, I'm just suggesting that as the human race we've had a long time to grow inward and to shelter ourselves out of necessity.

This recent event is the culmination of many others that is drawing us out - not being dragged out you understand, from a cave in an unyielding manner but drawing us out on the basis of angelic and other inspiration to bring us into the world that has been refreshed - if not physically then refreshed in the hearts and minds of people.

What we have here in this world aside from many animals and many plants still here is people and we can reacquaint ourselves with them including those we don't know and have never met.

Enjoy the experience for I shall say more about this as time goes on. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Important Reminders About Benevolent Magic And Living Prayer

A brief and gentle reminder here. For those of you using benevolent magic and living prayer it is vitally important that when you say a benevolent magic in the way I have instructed you here over time on this site or living prayer also in the way I have suggested, it is essential - though I know it may not always be easy - after you have said it even while the energy is there - don't think.

That is essential and I know it may not be easy. So what you can do is you can stare at a blank wall. If that's not handy, look at the back of your hand or the front of your hand if you wish. In short, stare at something that does not hold your interest so much but allows you to focus your intention and does not generally stimulate thought. I cannot stress how important this is.

There's a tendency you see - sometimes to think and when you think you have a tendency to dilute what you have requested and possibly even to deflect it into what you have thought. Of course if what you have thought is something that is the opposite of what you have requested or perhaps a worry - most likely it will not activate that.

Nevertheless I suggest that you attempt to practice this discipline. If you'd like to have a little practice then here's what to do. Either stare at a blank wall for about 10 to 15 seconds and anytime you catch yourself thinking just stop, don't beat yourself up about it, and try it again. When you can get up to the point where you can stare at a blank wall for about 30 seconds without thinking - that's pretty good. Stop there and say - okay, that's enough.

The other way to do that for the purpose of this exercise is to stare at either one or the other hand - either the front or the back of your hand, just one and do the rest of the steps exactly the same way.

Alright, that's just a refresher. It's important to give you these from time to time because it is really so easy to allow our minds to wander sometimes isn't it.

Goodlife.

Letting Go With Ease

Have you noticed lately that there is inner conflicts. You might be feeling something that is sorely attached to the past.

This could very well be a desire you have had, perhaps a strong one, associated with your past that is no longer of any interest to you. Think about it. How many times have we - over the years - wanted this, that or the other thing so badly that we've made it - if not our sole objective in life at least an important factor of our goals.

And of course life has moved on and many of these old desires are not only no longer needed but they're completely off the scope so to speak. And yet do you know that our physical body and certainly our subconscious mind often keeps striving for these old goals.

I'm going to suggest you do something - and give yourself time to do it. Try to harken back to people, places and things that you've desired strongly in the past. Don't dwell on it but just make a list if you can.

Then after you've written a few things down, after all there's only so much you can remember, then this is what I'm going to suggest you do - that is to simply say the following living prayer. I recommend you say, "I am asking that all my former goals, desires, wants and needs that are best left behind me be disconnected from me now in the most benevolent way for me and that only that which I want, need and desire now be a portion of my physical and mental striving."

Now you understand that this living prayer is a worthwhile thing to say but this is how I want you to say it if you would. Try to say it out loud, it doesn't have to be loud but just out loud - it can be whispered but needs to be verbalized. Try to say it before you go to sleep especially if it is a time when you're going to have a day off or even two days off from your normal work - but if you don't get that time off then you see when you say it before you go to sleep you'll have a good chance of releasing and processing some of it during your deep sleep state.

Of course I also recommend disentanglement for this as well but this is what I suggest as a process that you may find useful. Keep in mind that disentanglement is much deeper and much more thorough and I feel a very benevolent thing to do. However this is a supplementary especially for those of you who for one reason or another have not begun doing disentanglement.

That's what I have to offer today. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 2

I have spoken recently here about a observable event for which you have had, some of you, an opportunity to take note.

Now that this experience has occurred it might be as well to say a little more about it. For one thing, if you did not have that feeling of recognition and acknowledgment you will have that chance in the future. It is not something that you've missed out on and...oh darn it or...! It will be something you can count on experiencing.

Even so, the fact that it has taken place will trigger the start of a new cycle and that will be reinforced as the sequence happens in a rippling effect - rippling out from all of those places it has already occurred and that is intended to reinforce and to invigorate the beginning of this cycle.

The cycle is very much about feeling connected to other human beings in a benevolent way - but there is more. It's also about feeling, not just knowing mentally of course but feeling connected to animals that you know or see on a regular basis.

You have perhaps enjoyed the opportunity to have a wonderful experience with an animal living in its own environment, often called a wild animal. You have perhaps enjoyed other wonderful moments with your pet or one that is in the neighborhood or simply nearby where you live but now you will experience them in a different way.

I know that many of you have been looking for the mental connection - words, thoughts, ideas but now there will be a sense of fellowship. A sense of being in this together like you may have felt with human beings before.

It is a time now when all those present on the planet no matter what form they are in will feel a greater sense of community together and that community will provide much more so for each other than you have in the past.

Try to get past your fear of animals no matter how they look. They can't help the way they look just as in their eyes they understand you can't help the way you look. Funny isn't it thinking of it that way but it's really something that they understand better then we do.

It is a opportunity now. Many of you will experience this opportunity in increased clarity in your dreams. Sometimes you will have a memory of that dream clarity being accompanied by or visually a reminder of an animal being present. Don't question the appearance of that animal even though it may not be an appearance that you would recognize as an Earth species. It might even be someone from another planet that looks like an animal in our minds.

This is a time of preparation. It is a time of seeing the value in all beings as well as recognizing the value in ourselves.

Soon we will be visited by those who care for us and wish to provide us with a great bounty. We have been struggling for a long time on this planet feeling cut off from portions of ourselves as well as the universe. Many of us have felt that there are those from other planets who would love to give us the cures to diseases or provide other technology and harmonies that we would benefit from. Those days draw near.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Connections To Events, Part 1

Now there is a event coming up I feel is good for you to know about. There will be almost nothing required of you. In some cases a simple nod of the head. In other cases perhaps a small smile or even a little chuckle.

It will feel very much like the response you are giving and the response you see from others might be that that is experienced when someone has stated an inside joke - meaning only understood and appreciated by a select few, also known at times as esoteric - but it will not have been anything verbal.

This is what's going to happen - there will be a series of events seemingly unrelated and for the most part completely innocuous that you and a few others will take note of wherever you are in the world - whatever is going on in your group, neighborhood or society you will notice and a few others will notice and it will cause you to smile, maybe chuckle slightly or do as I've indicated with those little gestures because you will see and those others will see the connection between those seemingly random events and have a good feeling about them.

So we're not talking about something that will create a sense of cynical resignation, rather I'm talking about something that will give you a good feeling and a definite feeling of hope for the present as well as for the future. Keep in mind that these so called random events might be slightly different from one culture to another but the recognition of them and the feeling will be the same no matter where you are living, no matter in what culture all over the planet.

I don't want to say what it's about now but I will say in the future. I just felt it was important for you to know this because you will not be alone even if you see no one else in that moment, for some reason, with a similar acknowledgment you will hear about it if not immediately, then eventually from friends.

This is a good thing, a good sign and one that is benevolent for us all.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 3

Last time I spoke about instinct in our refresher on the subject. This time I'd like you to try something different.

I'd like you to take note when you're in a place that's crowded - glance around and see if your eyes happen to fall on someone - not necessarily someone that you find attractive but someone you don't know and have never met and yet, a place where you feel reasonably safe. Perhaps a large meeting, perhaps a convention where you all have similar interests or perhaps simply someplace where there's a sporting event perhaps going on that you're all attending so you have similar interests there too and if you feel like it at a distance speak to the person. Just say - hey isn't this great or something non committal like that.

Also in a crowded situation, say in an elevator, you could if you catch the eye of someone just say - make some little remark saying - it's like sardines isn't it - referring to the way sardines are stuffed in a can.

Do you know that such remarks and little quips and sometimes jokes were always the thing that people said in the past and people would laugh and the humor would be something that would help calm a difficult situation. Many of you know this but not most.

The fact that in crowded situations - which are going to become increasingly the norm for a while - that these little jokes are not said so often is because we are sensitive. Yes, even when we're packed into someplace like an elevator or perhaps a subway train we are sensitive and often that sensitivity is expressed in fear or confusion - but it is time to begin to notice our friends and allies whom we don't know and have never met. That's the key here. So - that's what I'd like you to do.

It might just be that in that packed elevator or packed subway the person who chuckles or glances at you even shyly might be different than the one that you thought might be the one that would react to you. If that happens and if you feel even reasonably comfortable then see if you can strike up a conversation with that person and if you feel comfortable and safe go to coffee or something with them and see if you can make a friend.

It is important now to discover the comforts and the valuable aspects of instinct.

I'm not going to encourage you to do something that would be death defying. Rather I'm going to encourage you to improve the quality of your life by increasing the circle of your friends and this is what I'm suggesting for you right now.

I did say that it could be embarrassing - if things don't work out, if nobody looks at you but - shrug it off and try it again another time. That's what I recommend.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 2

Now - last time I began telling you about how sensitive we are and today I want to expand on the practicality of that. It is a great deal more practical then you have been led to believe.

Sensitivity has been greatly reduced in the eyes of many societies and yet it is that very quality that will not only allow us to move with grace through the coming years but will allow us to experience a much better quality of life.

Now, last time I touched on the fact that it is our sensitivity that will allow us to know beforehand what may happen. I've spoken at great length here on these blogs about instinct though I don't always use the word to speak about it.

Sometimes the training occurs in the various aspects of feeling this or feeling that and as you know when I've labeled things feelings, since labeling has been possible here on Blogger, I have always referred to feelings in the context of physical feelings. When I do that you can be sure I'm talking about instinct.

Instinct is a capacity we are all born with on Earth and we identify it most often with animals. They do this, they do that - oh it must be their instinct - and how often have we wished that we had that...and of course we are born with it. We're born with it because Creator wants us to have it and quite obviously since we are born with it - wants us to use it.

It is true that sometimes we are born with other qualities but these qualities are also intended by Creator for us to use them in ways that are benevolent for ourselves and others. I'll say more about that some other time but for now lets talk a little more about sensitivity and instinct.

It is possible you know, to know what's going to happen before it happens. I've given you exercises before on how to feel something - how to know that something is close.

The exercise given last time was a reminder and if you like you can do that another time with yourself but it might be better to have a mate or friend do that with you. It has to be a very good friend, someone you absolutely trust because it is no fooling around - it has to be done the way I recommended because the point is to remind you that you are sensitive - not to make a joke of your sensitivity you see.

So if you like you can do it a second time with your eyes closed but the person doing the almost touching of course has their eyes open and must be very careful to do the exercise as suggested.

The experience then of sensitivity has everything to do with instinct. Wouldn't it be wonderful to know what was going to happen before it happened.

Well of course your feelings are the messenger when it comes to instinct. How many of us truly honor our feelings? I'm not talking about feelings that are necessarily stimulated by fear or terrors, though sometimes when those feelings come up and are recognized it's because we haven't noticed our warning feelings about something that could happen. I am talking about those gentle subtle feelings that are messages. So, another little bit of homework.

I know I've given homework like this before but this is an important refresher. I will be giving you much more advanced work on instincts in the near future.

So, this is what I'd like you to do as a refresher. Find a place in your house or in a location where you can be completely safe and stand in front of a wall with absolutely nothing in front of you. This can't be a crowded room with lots of furniture or certainly not with dogs or cats or children running about - so it has to be someplace that will work for you.

It's not necessarily something I'd recommend doing outdoors - alright - though some of you may have ideal circumstances for that - I'd recommend it be in a room.

Stand about 6, 8, maybe 10 feet away from a blank wall and with your eyes wide open very slowly with the smallest steps possible walk towards the wall. Don't put your arms out. Just walk towards the wall - and you don't have to keep your arms at your side, just walk naturally but don't put your arms out in front of you.

When you get to just a few feet from the wall then you can put your arms out with your palms down and your hands curled slightly so that by the time you get to the point where you're actually going to contact the wall with your body you touch it with your slightly curled fingers. Then turn around and walk back naturally so that you are about the same distance from the wall which would be about 6, 8, 10 feet away - whatever you choose, something like that.

Then do the same thing again very slowly with your eyes closed. Try to make sure to do this in a way where you are safe - nobody running around or if there's another person in the room that they're reasonably far away and perhaps only there to keep people who may be in the area from barging in and disturbing you.

So, take note of when you get the feeling to put your hands out the way you did when you got closer to the wall and put your hands out. If you notice the wall, then that's fine - then open your eyes.

If on the other hand you get to the point where you bump into the wall before you put your hands out that's okay too but that's why I want you to walk very slowly - just inching along so you don't harm yourself. You don't have to inch along when you're doing that part of the exercise where your eyes are intended to be open though I do wish you to do it very slowly for that part with your eyes open but do inch along when you get the feeling you ought to or when you have the sense the wall is coming.

Now anytime you get to the point where you reach out with your hands and contact the wall or even reach out with your hands and do not feel the wall because you're not that close to it yet, it's alright to open your eyes then and look and see where you are.

The point of this exercise is to get to the point where you are able to reach out and contact the wall with your eyes closed when you are about - maybe half an arm length away from the wall.

It's not a game. It's a means to sharpen up your instincts and as I said in the not to distant future I will be giving you something that is a greater test of this and will involve some slight risk perhaps but not a danger - maybe a little risk of embarrassment but for now this is what to do as a refresher.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Sensitivity And Knowing, Part 1

It's so easy to underestimate people isn't it. Sometimes it starts off with some misunderstanding. You say something, they say something and you've missed a word or two - or perhaps in their case they've missed your first few words and there's a misunderstanding. And then what can follow is an attitude either on their part or on your part.

This has happened to all of us. We know how easy it is - and yet perhaps if all goes well, later on the misunderstanding is resolved - but what happens to the attitude.

Does it also disappear or is there a tendency for us to tip into that attitude about that person or have others tip into that attitude about us much more easily in the future.

I believe that all of us on this planet are meant to be sensitive. I know it may at times be inconvenient and even at times in large institutional groups, they're created for one reason or another, difficult to say the least. And yet, we are born sensitive.

Think how sensitive a baby is. A baby can be sound asleep and a well intended loving parent can come into the room, reach down and do what adults the world over like to do with baby - gently touch the palm of baby's hand and baby's hand naturally squeezes with their tiny fingers, your finger - and yet baby remains sound asleep.

Now that takes real sensitivity. We are all born that way and we sprout from that point. I'm talking about this today because I feel that there has been entirely too much effort made by ourselves with ourselves and by society around us to encourage us to be less sensitive - and yet we are born that way. Creator desires us to be sensitive or we wouldn't be born that way.

So - today a little homework suggestion, just for fun. With one hand - and you can do this with a mate if you like or you can do it on your own - with one hand reach over to your arm or to your stomach. Don't touch your other arm or your stomach - don't touch but move very slowly with your hand towards that part of your body, and by your stomach I'm referring to the area around your solar plexus which is extremely sensitive much more so than most of you know.

Begin to reach towards the skin of your solar plexus or the skin of your other arm very slowly with the palm of your hand - either hand - and as you get slower note the physical feelings in your body.

Try to do this someplace that's quiet or perhaps at a time of day when things have calmed down at least to a "dull roar" and notice when you start getting feelings in your body. Most of you will notice some kind of feeling in your body when you are just a few inches or considerably further away from touching your arm with your hand or coming closer to your solar plexus.

If you start to get a really uncomfortable feeling this is what to say - and remember if you're doing this with a mate there can't be too much kidding around and never saying anything harsh. This is just to let you know how sensitive you were born - I'll say more about that in a moment. As you get closer to your solar plexus or your arm, notice your feelings and as I said if you get uncomfortable start saying out loud, "I'm safe" and continue saying that - not over and over but saying it only when the uncomfortable feeling comes up.

Continue doing that until you get your hand to within about an inch of your arm or your solar plexus. Then begin moving your hand without touching your arm or solar plexus - begin moving your hand up towards your shoulder or in the case of your solar plexus very slowly up towards your chest. You will notice that the sensitivity becomes heightened. Now that's all.

This is only to show you how sensitive you are. It is important to do this for some of you because you don't often remember that you were born sensitive and there's a reason for it. Creator would not have us born this way if there wasn't a reason.

It is not a challenge. It is rather so that we can feel and know before we are touched or told. Yes, we all have the capacity to know what's going to happen slightly before it happens or what's going to be known mentally just before we are told. I'll say more about that next time.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More Changes

Did you know, there are changes coming up for everyone now very soon.

I have mentioned this before but we must face the facts - the polar ice caps are going to continue to melt, albeit at a varying rate. This is not because of mankind's activities so much, though scientifically speaking it can certainly be traced to that.

There is another factor involved here. We as human beings are using more and more water in different ways these days. There are those looking for alternate fuels and water when broken down into its component parts has looked good to many. And there are other actions using water that does not allow the water to be recycled, as we understand it. So - there's more to it.

Mother Earth is also clearing some more land for us since there are many of us and we must live somewhere. Oh it's true that the global temperature will go up as a result and of course they'll be more rain because they'll be more moisture but this does not have to be such a bad thing.

I know it may at times with various predictions look to be somewhat glum and there's no doubt that low-lying islands may have some problems but it's also a fact that there are places on the land on various continents and other places where the people can be - so please make room for them.

Mother Earth intends to provide us with what we need but I have been guided that she would like us to do something and it may not always be popular. She would like us to have less children. We all love children of course and they are precious and perhaps when there are fewer of them by natural loving processes then they will be treasured as they ought to be - but we must face the facts. There are a great many of us living on the planet now and it might be better if we could find a way to very gently reduce the population.

I would say that this can be done and it can be done gently. There are many ways and I believe you know of them. So lets support some of these ways and don't if you would, become intimidated by those who say you ought to have children or you must have children or if you don't watch out it's too late to have children and so on and on.

If you really want a child - alright - but if you are not desiring of that then it's alright. Other people will have them and perhaps you can be an auntie or an uncle and that could be just fine.

I am not speaking out against children for I treasure them as well, I am however saying it is alright for the population to be reduced in benign and benevolent and loving ways. I know we can do this and future generations are counting on us to do this so that Mother Earth will be available benevolently for us all.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Our Pathway

It's easy to be judgmental isn't it. "How could she do that? How could he do that?"

We are all born with certain potentials and from that point on we are subject to influences and of course some people might say that fate plays a hand. Fate of course is a word that represents all that we don't know - but happens.

So when we look around and we hear things and we see things - sometimes small offensive things, sometimes annoyances - even if we feel that there may be some reason, there is a difficulty not judging it isn't there.

And so, what about the big things? It's so easy isn't it to say, "How could he do that! How could she do that!" And yet, what would you have done if you were born with that potential, if you were thrust into that influence, if you were exposed to this or that.

You know, I feel that this place - this planet is a place that Creator has decided to see - what if. I do not feel that we are somehow dangling at the end of Creator's strings with Creator jerking us this way or that way. I feel we are all volunteers.

Granted - if we knew what was going to come in our lives we may not have volunteered for this but souls are innocent and spirits, as we all are, do not recall nor do we understand the implications of former lives or for that matter of the experiences of others.

When we are not here on this planet we do not experience pain. We do not experience suffering. This place is the school that teaches what can be done and what are the results when one does what is perhaps better not to do. This school is not a place of punishment as I've said before - this is a finishing school for those spirits and souls who want to go on from here to create in a more responsible position.

Think about it - parents create and they are then presented with the results of their creation so that they must continue to create and to bring about the best possible life they are able for their children.

Of course the children arrive with certain potentials and even if you are the best parent in the world your child goes out, is exposed to life and the slings and arrows that come about as the result of life. So you do the best you can, that's all you can do.

I'm bringing this up today because I feel that it is so easy to fall into a pattern of judging what others do - not necessarily putting ourselves into their shoes. Even if we discount that they are different, that they've been exposed to things that are different - put yourself in their shoes - what would you have done.

I have spoken before here and other places about the difference between discernment and judgment and as a result of that I feel that it is important now to move past judging and blaming because if we judge and blame it is so easy to overdo it isn't it.

It's so easy to say, "Well, he is one of those and he did that so maybe they're all like that. So whatever we do it's alright because they're all that way and they deserve it."

Now I realize that has a cartoonish quality to it but it is really the distilled version of the rational that is used to sell wholesale violence to large groups of people who might perpetuate it.

We are coming into times now where what is required of us is co-operation. The world is reforming culturally. Yes, it will be first on the business model or the corporate model and we may not like that at times. On the other hand it will be, over time and not a long time at that, remodeling itself into one whereby people are served with heart not just directed through head and will.

I haven't spoken too much about the will here but I will address that in the future. The will has gotten a great deal of - how can we say...praise in our time - meaning, "I didn't think I could do it but I drove myself to it, I willed myself to do it and I got it. I achieved it."

I recall a time when will was looked upon a different way but I am not here to blame. I am here to say that judgment can keep us apart very often from that which we desire. Discernment does not do this so much and yet there are occasions when those who step in a destructive pathway must be separated from those who need to be protected. We all know this - the proverbial bull in a china shop - yes - but there are means, manners and ways.

We are all evolving to a more heart centered sense of values. It's not as simple as it once was. We can't just all go out into the forest and be reminded what nature is since the forest is disappearing to make room for so many of us here who need the room to live. Now we're coming into a time when we must come into our hearts through exposure to each other and recognize that very often the animals, the trees, the bushes, the plants - otherwise known as the natural beings here on this planet - will be able simply by their ways to demonstrate how to get along in the best possible way with others given the circumstances of life.

I feel that the changes we are about to enter as a global society will bring us closer together and I also feel that many of us will have opportunities - truly magical moments in the next few years that will change us - as that forest is not going to be present - then those magical moments will come from a person or two people or more and they will not be destructive, they will not be willful, they will not be commanding or demanding.

They will bring us into our hearts and it will happen with others around so that we feel our hearts and thus can find our way once more in the most benevolent way on our pathway to becoming a global benevolent society. Watch for it - it's coming.

Goodlife.

The Heart Of Travel

Do you ever travel to lands beyond your own? It is natural isn't it to notice how the people are different.

Sometimes one appreciates the differences, other times they just make you uncomfortable - and of course then when you get home what was once annoying appears to be comforting.

I'm going to recommend that you seek out the heart of cultures that you visit whether they be in your country or beyond and the way to do this is always through the food. Don't look so much for the modern leading edge food of those who experiment but try the cafeterias and the small restaurants that serve the people the foods that they like and that they were raised with.

Try only what feels good to you and what generally draws you towards it. In this way you will be able to experience the true heart of the people for in the true heart there is food and there is love. One cannot often connect with the true love of peoples that you visit in other countries but by this means it can be helpful.

I would recommend in order to prepare yourself for such a journey that you say the following Living Prayer. You might say, "I am asking that my experience in the foreign lands I visit or the cultures from afar that I attend in my own country be benevolent and nurturing for me and allow me to appreciate the value in these other expressions of life."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Take Another Look. Is It Really True?

Energy is our natural native state of being. Did you know that - I feel many of you do. It is not natural for us to be in these bodies in which we occupy which automatically tells us that we are here to learn something.

We are here, I feel, to learn compassion for all beings who are physical. Each other yes of course but also animals, plants and all manner of creatures - large or minute on this planet. Compassion as I've said before is a great lesson for us all. It is something that we take for granted in our natural state of being when we are not on this planet and it is something that is a portion of life that is also taken for granted almost everyplace else.

Why then, you might reasonably ask, are we so challenged in our day to day life here. Why is it such a struggle? Are we being punished? No, I know that's not it.

We are learning. We are learning what is added, what is subtracted and what is blended in order to make the best result.

One of the ways this is learned is to make mistakes. Mistakes are often regretted by us or others aren't they - and yet it is a way to learn. Lets pay attention to history. Lets not simply turn a blind eye to it because we don't like it or we don't like the outcome that we are living with. Lets not assume that if some peoples have made mistakes against our kind, as we might say, or others like us that they are inherently at fault including all succeeding generations.

Lets automatically assume, as we are all human beings while we are here, that that was a human error and as human beings we are most definitely available to make the same error. Prejudice is such a difficult thing isn't it. Sometimes so very seductive - even in ways that we come to believe are not associated with prejudice.

This is sometimes referred to in the word truisms - meaning things that are so much believed to be true that regardless of evidence to the opposite are accepted as true.

Take a look at your life. Are you practicing in your attitudes any truisms. If you are, take another look. Is it really so? Are other people so really different from you?

In my experience we are all so very much alike even though we have had different experiences and our lives have been shaped in different ways. At our root of being, physically of course, we are alike and in this way we can find our way home to each other. Think about it and add what you'd like.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Recreating Your Life

There is a place on the planet now - it is not on the surface of the planet. It is below the surface and below a particularly well known place where magnetism is affected.

This place is burgeoning in its capacities to recreate - but it is not Earth's job to recreate our culture, that's our job. If you're considering, when you look at your life, that there are aspects of your life that you would like to recreate - you can be supported in that if you tap into this region.

The region is about 40 miles under the surface of the North Pole. It's not directly under that general area but it's near there and it is an energy that is held in reserve. It's not broadcasted at this time. That's because it's waiting for you, whoever you may be, to tap into it.

Here's what to do: If you can, either stand or sit - it's either way, face towards the North where you are. Reach out with your left hand. Have your palm aligned with the center of your body and as if you were going to shake hands with someone. Say the following words.

First say, "I am asking that all those benevolent energies that are available for me insulate and protect me now so that I receive only the energy that is available to help me to recreate my life in the most benevolent way." Wait about a minute - it can be a little less than a minute, it can be a little more than a minute but not too much either way.

Then say this, "I am now receiving all of the recreation energy that is available for me in the most benevolent way." And continue to hold your arm out straight - towards the North.

If there are a lot of man-made materials between you and the direction your hand is aimed, try to aim your hand more towards the sky. That will help, so that it will lessen the effect of the man-made materials - for you see that energy is available above ground as long as you are keyed into it specifically using these methods.

Wait about a minute and a half after you've welcomed that energy - then you may relax your arm and see if you can be quiet for about 5 minutes, as quiet as is available to you. If the area is noisy you can plug your ears or use earplugs. If the area is quiet then just sit quietly with your hands in your lap, that is the best. Try not to think.

Wait about 3 days and then begin to take action in some benevolent way to recreate your life. That's what I recommend.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Moving Past Judgement

Have you ever noticed that you say something critical of someone and then before you know it you find yourself in the same position having to either do what they did or having to solve the problem they faced in some other way. It's kind of amusing most of the time when that happens but it also points out an important fact.

For a long time many of you have been reading here and there and all over the place how the world is changing, how feminine energy is rising yes - and how we're moving on to another expression of Earth yes - and other variations on that.

One of the ways you can tell though, and provide yourself with evidence that that is so much the fact is how much the intensity level has been raised to bring our lessons to us.

Do you know that very often, not always but very often the things we criticize the most in other people are the things we either dislike about ourselves or the things that we dislike that are going on in our immediate environment. The fact that so much of this is coming up for so many people right now is an illustration of the fact that we are hurrying up to finish our lessons by having them right in front of us or with us all the time.

I know that you do not like to have your lessons in your face over and over and I sure don't either but here's something I recommend. Pay attention to when you are judging or criticizing others.

Is your criticism or judgement based on the fact that you have done what they were attempting to resolve - that you have done it in some better way or is it simply because you are criticizing the outcome of the solution they applied?

So - homework, next time you're ready to give criticism be prepared not only with what you have to offer as a solution but also be prepared to face the music if your criticism is not received in the best way. I am not here to be the psychologist for I am not that nor am I here to provide professional therapy and you're not coming to me for that. Rather you are here to consider the options and perhaps find a suggestion or two.

Here's a suggestion, I recommend that you sharpen up your discernment. Know what is for you and accept that things, even things that you may not necessarily wish to do or participate in - that those things may be for others.

So - recommendation, take a good hard look at the definition of judgement. Then consider that discernment isn't involved in judging. It's more involved in experience.

I know I've talked about discernment before here and here for example but it's so important now. It's because we're rushing to complete our lessons - a clear sign that something is getting ready to shift on Earth and I believe to something more benevolent.

Well, I know that's a refresher but it's coming up for so many of us these days I thought I'd bring it up again.

If you'd like a little thing you can say for yourself then this is what I recommend. You might say, "I am asking that I feel in my body when I am judging others so that that uncomfortable feeling will remind me that I can simply recognize that people solve things in their own way as best they can and I also am asking to recognize in my body by my feelings my awareness of what is for me and what is for others and to feel comfortable with that, knowing that I'm safe and that my world can be safe and comfortable and I can allow others to have their worlds."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Helping...Even At A Distance

Do you know that there is something you can do for people who are trapped, hurt or crying out for help.

There will be times when some of you who are very sensitive out there will feel a very light sense of touch. Not the kind of touch if some friend or someone you know touches your arm or your hand. This will be a very light touch but it will be discernible physically.

When you feel something like that it almost always means that someone is crying out to the world at large or praying for help and you can help too.

This is what to do: For those of you who can feel or send energy just feel it and let it radiate from you.

For those of you who are not sure whether you can do that or not then I recommend you say the following Living Prayer. Say it slowly and if you feel a good energy or a good feeling, pause and when that feeling passes continue with the rest of the words. This is what I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those beings who need help now wherever they may be and whatever they may be doing - that they receive all the help they need now benevolently from all those people and beings who can help them."

After you say that you'll know that you have done what you can do. Don't ever assume that this is somebody you know, most of the time it will be someone you don't know - possibly even on the other side of the world and if you feel a touch like that again most likely it is not about the same person, it will simply be about another person.

We are all so closely united these days that it has impacted us physically and now there is something you can say and do to help people that need your help.

I know there are other things that you do and many of those are good. There's lots of wonderful charities and organizations to volunteer at but this is something you can also do if you would.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

When The Right Words Elude You...

When you find yourself in a situation where tact is important you often find don't you, that the right words are hard to come by. Sometimes words that you've said before work just fine. Other times you can feel, can't you, that those words just won't do.

I have found that at these moments it can be helpful - not always but at times - for there to be a benevolent energy present. I'm sure you found this to be the case as well.

You might say a little prayer, you might ask that someone or something be present with you in spirit to help you through that moment. I want to suggest a living prayer that often works in this situation.

I recommend you say in this situation, since you may have to say it to yourself quietly of course or even think it - in this case it's alright - say or think, "I am asking that all those benevolent beings (and if you have a Deity you feel good about, put that name in here) come now in their most benevolent form and provide love, inspiration, calm and a feeling of benign and benevolent co-operation and friendliness that this now state of being be comforted."

Now you say, "...state of being..." because it includes you and you may not even know who else it includes for the other person or persons may be upset about things you don't understand. Perhaps because many others are involved.

These times call for tact for many reasons. One of the most profound is that we don't always know whether the people we are speaking to understand the nuances of the way we speak. They might conceivably be speaking your language as something that is not their native tongue or because of so many dialects that exist in the world to say nothing of within your language.

It's so very easy isn't it, to say something that is a compliment from your point of view that might be taken as an insult to others. Perhaps you've had that experience - it's frustrating isn't it.

So remember, when you say that living prayer you're asking for energy to support you and to support the situation even though you may not have a clear picture of that situation at that point. Wait and see if you feel the energy. If you don't then perhaps it might be better to reserve your comment for another time.

If however you feel your comment may be pressing or urgent and possibly even life saving - then simply when you're at the point of pausing, after you've said the living prayer, wait for at least 1 minute if you can. Then say your comment in the simplest possible way with the fewest words possible and enunciate to the best of your ability. In this way, you will have made your best effort and that's all you can do. Then let it go and don't bring it up again if you can help it unless you feel at another time that it may be a life saving situation.

I'm bringing this up today because I feel that there are so many situations in which tact is not used simply because of a feeling of urgency or because in our world which has become so commercialized we are trying to find the best means of speaking, not just the best words. At times like that I've found that feeling and a good feeling broadcast by you can make a lot of difference.

So, add this to your general advice file and follow your heart. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Being Who You Really Are, Part 2

Now last time I talked about how it might be of value to project your true personality even in awkward or uncomfortable situations.

So, this time I want to give you specific suggestions and instructions for the homework. Not in front of a mirror, go ahead and say a few things out loud the way you might normally say them. Say in an awkward situation - say someone comes up to you at a bus stop and asks you out in some way that's offensive, as many of you might be approached. Male or female, it happens - and at the very least it can be awkward if you're not attracted to the other person to say nothing of the fact that it's impolite because you don't know them and they don't know you. In that case you see, if that is so - or they might do so in an offensive manner - that happens.

You could simply get mad and yell at them but you don't know who they are or whether they are entirely of sound mind. So, this is what you do to practice in your homework, I'm going to give you a couple of lines and you can write a few more for yourself. The first line is, "Stand back." That's all. The second line is, "I am completely comfortable on my own." That's all.

You understand these are not necessarily things you would say to people but they are designed to bring out qualities within you.

Then I'm going to suggest that before you do your homework you ask to feel as much physical confidence, strength and sense of your own personality as possible. Then wait for a moment or two and see if you feel different physically. Remember you are alone doing this so nobody's watching, nobody's going to laugh. Then say the first line.

Remember that if you are in an actual situation like that your natural reaction is to be frightened or angry and it's alright up to a point to display that but the way to display it is with feeling, not with words you see. Words can be provocative to someone who might say something like that to you - make some wise crack or come-on you understand but with a certain amount of feeling, strength, confidence, self-assuredness - and those are feelings I want you to practice - then you can emanate certain qualities.

Now I grant that if you are strong, if you have physical capabilities to resist something like this or even in the case of something said in jest or even partially in jest, the best way to deflect it is to make a jest back perhaps but there are times when you don't feel like it. So - I'm suggesting that you write some lines for yourself. Very simple, things that you'd like to say. Practice those feelings of confidence.

I'm not suggesting that you go out and do this in public because this homework isn't intended to give you ways to defend yourself or to specifically give you ways to feel safe though I have produced a book on that subject.

What I do recommend is that you consider this to be confidence building. The whole point of this post and the last one is to be able to feel confident enough to demonstrate your own personality without a mask in awkward situations.

I may say more about this in time but I'm giving you this homework now so that you can work on it and if you know others following this blog or my other to help each other to practice in this way.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Being Who You Really Are, Part 1

Artificial - or otherwise known as put-on masks in our society are not unusual are they. Sometimes we can completely justify doing so. Other times we do so simply because we feel awkward or uncomfortable and we don our well practiced mask.

I'm bringing this up not to criticize or chide anyone but rather because so many of you have said to me over the years, "Where is my perfect mate? How can I find that person? Is there any chance that they might find me?"

When we don a mask even for a reason of safety we automatically place a veil over ourselves so that we cannot be seen. The mask in that sense is our suit of armor that allows us to feel safe or as safe as possible in whatever situation we're protecting ourselves - and I'm not saying that that's not justified at times but that mask also keeps us from being seen and appreciated.

I'm bringing this up because I want to suggest some homework for those of you who feel it may be of value to you and that is homework that has the intent to allow you to be seen in your actual personality so that your perfect mate might just be attracted to the real you as compared to a mask that you, after a time even in a long duration relationship, must drop out of simple exhaustion or boredom and thus follows confusion in your mates part.

What I recommend then is that the actual personality you have be something that needs to be strengthened - to have a confidence, to have a projection if you like of your personality that feels safe.

So this is what I'm going to suggest and it might sound very miniscule but I feel that it is something that we've been exposed to in thought but rarely do.

I know that a great many of you are interested in the theatrical and perhaps enjoy television or movies or other theatrical productions. Actors, in order to convince not only the audience but also the Producer and the Director or the casting person in order to get the role must be able to convince the watchers that they not only can perform their duties professionally but that they can actually be or live or function in a way that is perceived as the role they are playing.

They cannot - in order to be convincing even in front of the camera as compared to the stage production - they cannot be Actor's acting. They have to convince you, the audience, that they are not acting. Otherwise it is boring for you, even tedious.

You must be able as an Actor to draw the audience in whoever they are so that they believe that what's going on on the stage is real, or as real as you can make it, so that they can suspend their disbelief - that these are Actors performing on the stage during the time of the performance.

So what I'm going to suggest to you is that you practice. Do not practice initially in front of a mirror. Practice only in some room where you cannot be seen or heard generally speaking. I want you to practice, with feeling, saying things that you might have to say - even though you may never have to say them but in your mind that you might have to say in order to feel safe.

That mask, as it were, that you occasionally project to insulate and protect yourself and thus block a potential mate from seeing who you really are and worse - sometimes someone might even be attracted to that mask you see - and then after a time in your budding relationship with them you must drop that mask because it's exhausting to portray and you wish to be seen for yourself.

You want to enjoy the relationship and you want the person to enjoy you - who you are but you see if they were attracted to that mask then, well it's a problem for both of you.

So how can you portray yourself as yourself yes - as the Actor in that sense here in my analogy and be appreciated for who you are. That's why I'm recommending this homework. Act - the following ways. Say certain lines - set up certain lines to say for yourself.

If you want, you can write them down. These lines are not to be provocative. They are designed to be projecting self-assurance and confidence and with a certain amount of practice you might just be able to produce those feelings especially when there is no threat and no problem with projecting those feelings. I'll get into more details next time.

Goodlife.

Clearing The Air

Now you may wonder why I continue to go on on this blog about instinct and other things that I wax on about on a regular basis.

For one thing it has to do with the fact that I trust you. I know we haven't met and I know that we may have different ways but I trust that you are reading this and perhaps practicing some of it because you truly want to have a better happier life where things work more frequently than not and perhaps you'd like to improve the quality of life for others as well.

I am, you might say, investing in you. At this time in my life I feel inclined to invest in the world at large. Many of you will absorb some of this wisdom here and practice it in your own way and perhaps even pass it on to others. I want you to know now that much as I appreciate appreciation it is not critical to me that I receive it from you and it is also not critical that I be acknowledged.

I know, we all need and want that and I am no different however I feel strongly that this wisdom I'm passing on to you is so important that I don't want to stake a permanent claim to it. Granted the books are copyrighted and all of that but you may have noticed that I'm not copyrighting the blogs. That's because I want you to feel free to use it and to share it where you feel it will do the most good.

I'm not trying to talk you into its value. If you feel it's good for you and you want to share it with others, and those of you who teach - if you want to integrate it into your teaching, don't be shy - it's alright. So I felt that needed to be said by way of clearing the air okay.

So...now I've got a Benevolent Magic book coming down the pike, so to speak and you'll find that it has many things in it that I have not discussed here. The entire book is set up as what you might call an evolutionary system that will take you from the point of the heart warmth which I've discussed before through Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer and on to Disentanglement and beyond.

The entire point of the book is to help you to feel safe, secure, comfortable and feel capable for your meeting with life.

I believe you will like it and when the publisher has it ready to distribute I'll let you know here on this blog as well as on my others. So...that's what I wanted to say today - just clearing the air and talking more personally to you all.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

What Our Dreams Really Are

There is a time coming now that will be here very soon that will prepare us for the welcoming of parts of ourselves that have been missing for a time.

You know, when we're born here on this planet we don't as a rule remember who and what we are from all our other lives and all other life in the universe though I believe and I have been taught and have observed on the basis of my experience that sometimes bits and pieces of this recollection come through.

It comes through very often in dreams. Have you ever had that experience in a dream where you remember something that simply does not have any connection with your life whatsoever but it's a beautiful moment. It may be surrounded by other images that you're familiar with in your dream time but in that moment there's something beautiful, calm and peaceful and you have a recollection of it but you have a hard time pinning down what you saw or who was in it or have any recollection of seeing yourself in it.

In my experience it is possible to experience yourself as light. I've mentioned before having the experience of light above my head and actually being able to see from that light even though I'm just as physical as you are.

I believe that what occurs in our dream is that we see people in the dream and sometimes we identify with them because after all they are human beings and we're so engaged in the dream that we believe that we are one of them but I believe that we are in the form of light there and we can see.

We can identify with what we see and at times we are experiencing that identification with different beings in the dream. That's why the dream does not seem to have the linear time line that we live in our waking life.

This experience of dreams is what helps us to understand our physical lives here and most importantly helps us to understand in our immortal spirit the meaning of physical life here and how things can go wrong and more importantly, I believe, how things can be put to the right. Put to the right in this case simply means - made more benevolent.

In my intention of this blog which is about magic and about benevolence, putting things to the right in my expression today really means - how can we - with all of the inspiration available to us unconsciously in our dreams and consciously in our day to day life through our guides and angels and teachers - how can we put things to the right - in short how can we make our world more benevolent.

I believe it has everything to do with remembering who we are and where we're from. I also believe that why we're here has everything to do with our dreams. I believe we're here to learn and the teaching process goes on largely in our dream time since our dream time has to do and takes place in, since we're rooted to a physical world where everything is not perfect - therefore we have the images, the experiences, the feelings, everything in our physical body that's associated with, a world that needs a lot of help.

In short it needs a lot of benevolence and that benevolence is intended to come about through our ignorance that we have of our total immortal spirit in our conscious life prompted by our inspirations and perhaps a recollection of our dreams. Whereas in our unconscious lives where we are asleep in the deep dream state we are being supported and guided through the identification that we wake up with of the other people and beings in the dream so we can understand their feelings and their experience.

The more we know about dreams, I feel, the more we will understand that they are not always connected to our waking life. I believe that most of the time, not all the time but most of the time, they're connected to teaching that goes beyond our life here but that in order for that teaching to take place we must have a life here so that we have the images, experiences and feelings that can be incorporated in the teaching process.

I believe our life has everything to do with our immortal spirit and Creator's desire for us to become the best teachers and perhaps even guides someday.

This life means something and it means something beyond our conscious day to day existence. That doesn't excuse us from encouraging more benevolence and putting things to the right here but it does also incorporate the lessons in the world of our immortal spirit and for that we have to allow that world to prevail in our deep sleep.

So, lets not always assume that our dreams are always about our day to day life even though sometimes there are aspects there that are.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Practical Compassion

This is a time of great compassion. The Earth is at a point now where she can no longer take on our excess feelings or even the excess feelings of animals or plants.

While there are many people there are less by far animals and plants. Still people require more care since the animals and the plants are not here to learn anything, they are simply here to offer support and nurturance for us and guide us through inspirations when we are able to take them in.

Given that Mother Earth must now apply her compassion to herself and to heal her own body - this is why so many of us are becoming more compassionate.

Let me explain what I mean by that. Many of us have begun to feel the feelings of others - I have mentioned this before. This is not simply a momentary thing where we "feel for others" but at times we take on and process the feelings of others.

I feel it's very important for you to know that should you get momentarily upset and even in your rational mind you are unable to place a reason on that or the reason you have picked does not make sense - be aware that many times you will act out, get upset you understand, get frustrated beyond the point of the stimulation you are experiencing in that moment or generally feel excessively full of feeling for something that seems well beyond the stimulation of the moment.

Perhaps it is something theatrical that you normally feel moved by or that you normally find amusing but in this case you suddenly feel as if you need to cry - maybe you do cry or you laugh almost hysterically. At moments like that don't question your sanity, the moment will pass quickly.

What you are doing is - that there is someone - possibly near you within a hundred feet or so, possibly a member of your own family or friends - if so don't say anything to them about it, possibly someone you don't know and have never met but are simply within that hundred feet or so of you for whom you are releasing through this momentary processing some overwhelming feeling that for one reason or another they simply cannot process and when that moment passes, it might just be a few seconds - perhaps a few minutes or even a little longer, that will be that.

You may never process that for them again or anything for them again - they might be simply passing by on the street or driving by on the highway but it may come up again.

You may find that this is something that is annoying at times, at other times it will be just a minor annoyance. If however you know about this you'll recognize that that was a moment of passing compassion for which you do not know nor do you really need to know, if you understand this or have read this, what that was about.

Some of you have been having this for a long time. You are weeping the tears felt by peoples all over the world or you are laughing excessively for those who are unable to laugh for some reason - and all the feelings in between.

This is not an excuse to excuse some excessively destructive or self destructive behavior on your part for that is not what is going to happen. It will always be something that you can do safely. You will not suddenly burst into tears in some important meeting. You will not laugh hysterically in front of your children and scare them - it will not happen like that. It will always happen in moments where you can do something safely.

I just felt that you needed to know this now because Mother Earth's compassion is at her limits for how she can express and feel for us and she must express and feel for herself. Therefore we are taking on some of her work.

We are after all here to learn patience and compassion and a few other things as the human race that will enable us to be more wise, be - in time more stable and be yes - more loving on a practical physical level that nurtures and supports us all in the most benevolent way.

One of the ways to practice these things is to actually do it. Reading about it in articles like this is helpful but since you are having this experience now I felt it was important to bring this to your attention.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Dreams

It has come to my attention that many people are needing to experience certain aspects of benevolence that are evasive now.

Have you noticed that dreams are more troublesome? This is because some individuals are reaching out into dreamworld to ask for help. So I want to give you a benevolent magic you can say that will support more calm dreams for you and also support those who need help so much they are unintentionally reaching into other peoples dream consciousness states to ask for help.

Now this is what to say - I recommend you say, "I request that I have comfortable and peaceful sleep and if I am needed to support other peoples lives that I be allowed to do so in the most benevolent way for me, resulting in the most benevolent outcome."

Now as you can see that is a benevolent magic for you but there's a follow up. Wait about 5 minutes after you say that - alright - then say the following living prayer - which you can say at any time that you have a dream that seems a bit unsettling even if you wake up in the middle of the night or if you recall it during the middle of the day.

You might say, "I am asking that all those beings all over the Earth receive all the help, love and support that they need now from all those beings and people who can help them." That's what I suggest. Work on it a bit over the weekend.

Goodlife.

Our Expanding Capabilities

In the beginning of this project where we all live now on Earth there was I believe, a co-ordinated effort to establish a beachhead for sorting out thought - feelings in the physical world. Not just to superimpose one over the other or to compete but rather to extract the best of both, combine them and turn out a hybrid human being who could think and know and feel and know simultaneously.

I feel that we are progressing very well on this project and I feel that even though we are surrounded by complicated technology, some of this technology helps us.

Granted, some of it is overwhelming and we will at some point turn away from it or it will become so automated and reliable that it will run largely by itself. However there is some technology that helps us to discover our true natures by responding to us in ways we can discern and interpret in support of our physical well being.

Some of this technology offers feedback for us to check our stress level. Some of it unites us in communications. Some of it helps us to organize and assemble structured social systems so that we are able to see our common ground clearly as a global society.

I believe that within 1 or 2 generations we will achieve the goal set out for us - to be able to think and know and feel and know simultaneously offering us checks and balances so that we will have more than one way to know what is for us and what is for others as I've stated before on these blogs.

My feeling is that this is not a pipe dream and it is not something that is overly technological. I believe that we will not require any external mechanical devices or technological devices to learn these things but our technology will be available to support us by making it available to have international networks as we have now.

This, as I'm calling it, hybrid human being will be simply generations coming up now or soon to arrive who will be born to the technology in existence and take it for granted and will also arrive with highly attuned feelings and thought capability. Don't be too surprised if you find that the feeling aspect is stronger.

I believe that this has always been the case and in the past human beings have been able to use instinct, as I have talked about extensively here on these blogs but now with our attention to thought and its functions we will be able to moderate thought without sacrificing it and we will also be able to accommodate thought into feelings.

We will feel and know and we will be able to think and know more or we will think and know and be able to check with our feelings to make sure that it is so. We are close as a society globally to being able to do this now.

I just wanted to share this with you because my feeling strongly is that we have almost arrived and this arrival will herald an improvement of life for all human beings on this planet and will help us to value all other life as we can connect more than one way.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
