Another Form Of Benevolent Magic

Some of you may have noticed the link I have over there on my sidebar referred to as "streamlined benevolent magic". Sometime ago I had a guest column by Tom Moore on my blog A Mystical Man's World because Tom had developed a streamlined version - meaning a briefer version of benevolent magic that he has found works well for him and he's doing what he can to share that technique with the world.

That's why I wanted to bring it to your attention because I feel it has value. Tom has been able to write a book about his experiences with his technique. It is not too long but it's filled with examples and suggestions of things to say in different situations. You might want to give it a try - it's up to you. The click on streamlined benevolent magic will take you to his website.

If you recall, a short time ago, I said I would be winding down this site and concentrating my efforts on mystical man but as I said I will continue to post here.

The reason I'm bringing up Tom's site is that even though it is based on my work I want to refer you to it so that if I do not post here about benevolent magic and living prayer specifically as often as you would like or have not covered topics that you would like to see covered then I feel that it would be useful for you to engage that process further with Tom.

In Tom's book he has specifically made an effort to utilize his technique in places that are dangerous. This is, I feel, something that is particularly important and I've even devoted a book that I have put out called Techniques For Generating Safety to this very subject.

While I do not often make comments here about this or that hazard I feel this is not something we ought to treat lightly or overlook and therefore I feel that your time spent with Tom on his website or with his book will be a good investment.

Goodlife.

Deflecting Discomfort

There has been a request and I would like to elaborate on something here.

Many of you are exposed to discomforting energies on a regular basis - some are even directed at you specifically either by those who are angry or perhaps jealous or any of a wide variety of other intentions.

There is one major thing you can do that will deflect the bulk of this from effecting you in any way and that major thing is to develop and maintain a good feeling about yourself.

Of course we all get down on ourselves once in a while but lets make an effort now to develop and maintain a good feeling about ourselves. Let us not continually allow the artificial images promoted by television or other forms of artificial stimulation - such as advertisements to decide for us whether we have worth or value based upon those agendas.

Let us decide right now that we are valuable, we are important and that we deserve to experience a most benevolent life and a most benevolent way of being. That we deserve the respect of others and that when we receive it we appreciate it, we acknowledge it with grace and we give respect to others as well.

What I am saying here is this - that the major means of deflecting discomfort is feeling good about yourself. It is not sufficient to make this mental.

So, this is what I want you to do - a little extra homework for those of you who are here to learn. I'd like you to do this meditation or visualization. Picture yourself in any benevolent environment you choose - whatever it may be. Feel yourself surrounded by friends that like you, love you and appreciate you. They can be human beings, animals, plants, anything - and feel the benevolent feeling that ensues.

Pay attention to the physical feelings in your body. Notice how you feel when you feel good about yourself and you're surrounded by others who also feel good about you. Make an effort then, to maintain this feeling. If you need to do this visualization again then do it because as long as you can memorize that feeling in your physical body and experience it in such a way as you truly can remember it, you will find that you will notice it if it is absent.

If you notice that, try to do the quick visualization and bring the feeling to you. Then - even if you are exposed to an environment where you do not feel appreciated you will not be effected because your good feelings about yourself will deflect most of it.

For any other forms of deflection you can look to this blog or my other and find what you can find and do the homework as you will. I'm sure there's plenty here to do as I am sure you all have other ways to develop good feelings about yourself, good feelings about others and to spread this around as you choose.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Us

Have you ever considered that all around us are beings who are cheering us on. I know it may not be obvious but from time to time I can sense their presence and I can feel their great love for us all.

It is a conundrum, I know, for us all because life here is really so very difficult.

Even for those who seem to have plenty, there are troubles. It may not be obvious to those of us who don't have so much but for those who have plenty they have other worries. I have talked to many of these people and I have discovered that when they have those moments of pause and doubt, their troubles spill out too.

In this world upon which we live every single human being, every single animal, every plant, every form of life is its own unique self.

We all have so very much in common and really when taken in total so very little in percentage that is unique to us as individuals. However that uniqueness is important because it adds to the universal choir that makes up the entire beingness of consciousness, feeling and heart on our planet.

Let's try to remember that as we prepare for the new year here and in that light I'd like to suggest a Living Prayer that we can say. I'd recommend that we all say, "I am asking that all individuals here - unique and united experience the most wonderful new year in benevolence, in joy and fulfillment."

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Choices On Our Soul's Path

Priming the pump - you've all heard that term - it essentially means for our purposes here - encouraging a benevolent and desirable outcome by getting something started. My intention here on Benevolent Magic has been from the beginning of this blog to prime your pump.

We are all born on this planet from a point of origin where we have tremendous capabilities. We leave those capabilities behind when we come here so that we can reinvent - or you might say recreate our knowledge base.

Imagine if you would for a moment that you've lived many lives in different places, different planets as different sorts of beings and you may have accumulated during that time a great deal of knowledge and wisdom and of course skills and abilities but you may need - or believe you need at least other skills and abilities - something perhaps so different than what you've been learning and perfecting that the only way to achieve it is to forget who and what you are.

Very often, as I've been taught, souls who wish to acquire something in their knowledge base choose - with Creator's permission of course - to be born on this planet because on Earth as we know it now we experience a great deal of stress and while stress is not a fun thing to experience it is a fence - you might say a guideline.

We don't like bouncing off the fence but we get definite feedback from it that we've taken the wrong direction or that there is another direction that might be more beneficial.

This planet is a learning place and if we choose as souls to come here to learn something new, we will invariably try something or create a general pathway for ourselves in this life in order to move in a direction we haven't tread on before.

You'll know if you're moving in that direction - giving you a little guideline to know here - if you feel totally at sea about something you're doing, meaning that you really do not have any awareness, any clue or any sense of natural ability in what you're doing.

I'm not saying that you are to pursue it and make a profession out of it but tread slowly and lightly - ask for guidance and help. There are others who may know more about these things. Also, if you feel like you're being steered onto that path - it might be something that your soul wants you to explore - not necessarily - as I say to perfect it but to familiarize yourself with it.

Sometimes familiarization simply means to get a lay of the land, not necessarily to participate.

Here on Earth we have one thing that is not so available on other planets I believe, and that is the tremendous variety and experience of life.

We don't like stress - no and we don't like bouncing into walls or fences - no - who does - but very often when these things occur we must turn - we must change the course of our path and that turn or that change of course will sometimes take us on to a path that will lead us to an easier transit - something that is easier - something that is more in alignment with who and what we are.

If that happens to you, don't fight it too much but know that you may not have to be there indefinitely. Look around, see what you can learn and feel if it is for you. If it isn't for you then notice it, observe it in others and move on. Perhaps that's all your soul wants you to do.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

More On Instinctual Training

There but for the grace of God go you or I. We have all read that or heard that at some point in our lives and yet all around us are people who may or may not fill that description. Sometimes it's obvious, other times less so and sometimes completely invisible.

Let us all now say the Living Prayer in this case to support the unknown sufferers, "I am asking that all those beings who are suffering whether they know it or not receive all the help, love and support they need now from all those beings who can help them."

Now why did I say - whether they know it or not. Sometimes because of life and its stresses we institutionalize in our own body - meaning that we become less aware of and feel or at least think that our discomforts are just part of life and because we are less aware then of our discomforts - we don't know we are suffering.

So much of what I've been writing about here on Benevolent Magic and on Mystical Man has to do with feelings. This is because it is time to become aware of our feelings not so that we can suffer through them, not so that we have to relive old pains and wounds but rather to allow our body to express itself, to move through those feelings and to acknowledge that feelings are not only that which is some strange unknown phenomena but that feelings are the key and the pathway to resolving for ourselves and gaining for ourselves a greater wisdom and a means to bring about benevolent healing.

It is my intention on this site and especially on Mystical Man to provide you with the means, manners and yes - morals of bringing about this benevolent eventuality through the use of feelings and energies and blessings to become aware of your physical self, your feeling self and ultimately your instinctual self and it is in that light that I will continue this talk on Mystical Man next time.

Goodlife.

Our World - Our Community

Once there was a time when the natural creation of family came from afar and provided the glue to hold peoples together. This concept and experience of family has always been intended to provide bonds, kinship and a sense of belonging - we all know this.

Somewhere along the line we became more insulated and perhaps even insular and the concept of greater community may have been misplaced but not lost.

I feel that, even though in these times we sometimes are unable to see greater community it almost always emerges during times of great urgency and sometimes during localized disasters as well.

There is an energy just below the surface which I feel is coming to be more noticeable. I feel it will be seen first in the family, then in the neighborhood, then in the community and will spread all over the Earth.

One of the most wonderful things about our planet is the variety we have to share - different peoples, different cultures, different foods - yes, different social attractions and the variety of the animals and plants as well.

Some day there will be travel between planets and I know that our planet will be known as the place of variety and especially a place where a visitor can come and no matter what their society is like at home, that they will be able to express themselves individually in benevolent ways and be accepted and appreciated for their unique talents and abilities.

Our world is becoming smaller every day - we are around many different kinds of people. We have the opportunity to enjoy other cultures and we also have the opportunity to share our own culture. Lets appreciate this variety in food, in family, in culture and ultimately in the bonds of kinship we will form as friends and ultimately as global community.

Goodlife.

More About Forgiveness Now As Well As Disentanglement

Let us consider the circumstances around forgiveness. You have all read many things over the years about forgiveness and why it is worth doing even if only to relieve yourself of the burden of resentment.

Let us consider one of the main situations that holds back forgiveness from being complete. Very often one finds oneself in the circumstance where forgiveness, no matter how difficult to provide to others who have offended you or otherwise harmed you, can be worth doing simply because the constant gnawing at you about your anger at others can be overwhelming and add greatly to your stress level - but you know this.

What's holding it back from being complete? The biggest challenge is in forgiving yourself. Consider when you say to somebody - though it may not come up very often for some of you but consider when you say, "I forgive you" then also in a quiet moment later on - laying down or sitting up on your own - go into the most relaxed feeling you can obtain.

Calm yourself completely and when you can get to that place where you are calm and comfortable then say out loud, "I forgive you." You don't have to be specific about a person but if someone's picture flashes to your mind or some circumstance about which you feel discomfort simply say, "I forgive you."

If the discomfort doesn't fade then say, "I forgive myself for allowing myself to be hurt in life."

See if that helps. If that discomfort fades then remain in your relaxed state until other things come up that disturb you even if it is a place or a thing that makes you uncomfortable.

Speak out loud to that place or thing even if it's an inanimate object as you might perceive it, "I forgive you." If your discomfort doesn't go away then forgive yourself in the way stated above.

Now for some of you it won't work because it's a deeper root then that - meaning that there is so much about forgiveness, so much pain from the past or even present that there needs to be something that goes beyond being able to do that.

In this case I'm going to recommend disentanglement - the steps of which I've given here.

It involves gold light beings and light beings, angels and guides and certainly - Creator in order to support you as an individual and you are worth supporting.

I'm going to recommend that after you do the forgiveness process wait for about ten or twenty minutes. If you fall asleep that's fine, when you wake up try disentanglement.

Remember to request that all your beloved deities - whoever they may be, your angels, your guides, your spirit teachers and all benevolent loving beings of spirit and other energy be with you before you begin.

You will probably - when you wake up or when you get up - you will feel a little lighter. By lighter I mean you will feel as if something has been lifted off of you.

What disentanglement does and why you request these light beings is that these beings are able to travel into all places in your present and all places in your past and release the cords that bind you to old wounds - whether they be ones you remember or most likely have forgotten - and people, places and things mostly in your past but sometimes in your present that are causing you - remembering it and not remembering it you see - causing you harm and discomfort.

It's about releasing yourself from the burden of old discomforts. You see - it is difficult isn't it - to remember all who have trespassed against you to say nothing of those to whom you have trespassed but this process allows you to not only move through the first level of disentanglement but to release so much and have so much released from you.

Now "gold light beings" is important to say because they are able to function throughout all places, times and existence in a way that is completely benevolent and the same with light beings. I might add that angels, when they've been seen by others, are often seen as gold and white light - so this gives you an idea of who they are.

I recommend you use the words exactly as stated. In time I will give you more about disentanglement. For those of you who have not yet started this I feel it will be of great value. For those of you who have started it, then focus on the forgiveness work.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Steps On The Balance Trail

Ah balance - how often we need others to support us and how ready we are to support others.

This is something that we don't always think about although there are those who are not only thinking about it but teaching, complimenting and providing insight and wisdom to support balance.

In these days it is difficult isn't it, to know what is your balance and what is the balance for others. It is so very tempting isn't it - almost to the point of being seductive to read about what others have done to achieve their comfort zone and what you might do in order to achieve yours based upon what they did but in fact very often you need to discover certain things.

What are your natural talents and abilities as compared to what talents and abilities are natural for others, try to expand on what is naturally of ease to you and allow others to expand on what is of ease to them and don't try to do everything for yourself.

It's very important to allow others to help you just as it's important for you to help others. Balance, I believe, is a community experience and as a community experience it is one of sharing, one of being and one of yes - enjoying.

I believe we can do this benevolently and granted - while it may be a road it is a road worth traveling. So, good luck to you and enjoy your balance and allow others to help you - that's very important. Allow it and say thank you but don't overdo it - what do I mean by that.

It's very easy because of the conditioning and your life experience that you've had to believe that if somebody does something for you that you must do more for them in order to feel safe with having received something from them. Allow others to do things for you and learn how to say a gracious thank you and don't feel that you must go to the moon to pay them back for their kindness in kind.

Consider practicing this. Pick two friends or three if you like and promise that you will do something for them in any week you choose - you will do something for them that is more than you normally do and all you want from them - and they must promise - all you want from them is a sincere thank you. "Thank you very much" they might say - sincerely with a feeling you can feel and that's it.

If you like you can all do something for each other that is more than you might normally do - not a big thing - just something small and learn how to say, "Thank you very much" with the feeling of thank you and then let it go.

In other words we need to learn how to receive support in our own comfort zone to achieve our own balance without excluding that support by making it jump through hoops or without forcing that support to stay away because you are afraid there are strings attached.

Learn how to experience balance in a way that is complimentary. You know how you like to do things for others - let them do things for you too.

Alright - goodlife.

One Important Value Of Clarity

We have all noted the heightened state of political tension in our country. I feel it is really important now to be clear about what we want but it is just as important to advocate what we want - yes and in a benevolent way - oh yes - and I feel it is essential to not be focused on who we think is to blame for all our troubles.

This has been a tremendous pitfall in the most advanced cultures in the past. Blaming in general, simply continues to stir up the pot. I'm not saying that we should discard justice - what I am saying is that blaming in general seems to be a root cause of so much history.

We don't think of history that often as something malevolent or discomforting and yet historians will agree, sometimes with chagrin, that history is very often - to quote my old history teacher, "About groups of unhappy people in ceaseless conflict for power."

My feeling is this - it would be very beneficial for those who are campaigning for what they feel would be good - not only to do in their localities but also how they would see our country and our world evolving.

I know that political realities do not always support this but for those of us who are not running for office and are simply considering the political and even the geopolitical situation I feel it is most important to focus on what we want in the most benevolent way and to let go of attacking or otherwise attempting to besmirch the value of others.

In these times I feel it is essential to be clear and therefore I recommend, not a political position but a humanitarian position. If at all possible - vote your heart in the most benevolent way and let go of who did what to whom. History and the wheels of justice will resolve all of that.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Yes - We Will All Get There In Time

Let us consider for a moment self-sustaining culture. How does it come about.

We see it at times in the animal world - such as in ants and other beings. Do we see it in the cultures on Earth.

Sometimes there are vestiges of such cultures. Sometimes the living descendants of such cultures do live on as best they can within their capabilities to sustain themselves. Other times they are examples of a previously well balanced self-sustaining culture that has been disrupted or harmed by others.

I believe that we are moving slowly step by step towards a self-sustaining culture. I have seen the signs and I believe self-sustaining cultures come about primarily because of necessity.

Once one begins that - one discovers that in order to allow the culture to continue to sustain itself it must feed all aspects of peoples needs and the most important aspect is of course - yes food, yes shelter, yes clothing but the most important aspect is how do we treat our young, how do we treat our old, how do we treat those who are infirm in any way and how do we treat each other as well as ourselves.

What are our hearts needs, how can our feelings be nurtured and supported, what is the most balanced and loving culture.

Only time will tell. We cannot say it's going to be this or that philosophy, this or that religion. We can only say that time will tell and when that time arrives I'm sure there will be scholars and others who will look back at our times and perhaps they won't be as critical as we all are of ourselves and our culture.

Perhaps they will look back and say, "Look there - see. Here are the seeds of our beautiful culture. The roots were taking hold even then and now it has bloomed into the beautiful flowers of cities and well being all over the planet in our self-sustaining domes of existence."

I believe that it will happen out of necessity and I believe we will all have heart for each other. I've seen the most unlikely people show heart for each other in unexpected moments of challenge.

I believe that this heart will grow, take root, offer flowers of actions and applications and seed itself over time into self-sustaining beauty. This is what I believe.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Supporting Mother Earth

Living through this earthquake in Hawaii while by no means the first one I've experienced has brought to my attention that it is so very easy, isn't it to take for granted those whom we love.

I can think many times of taking Mother Earth for granted even though I am very fond of her indeed and often love her consciously. I'm sure you feel the same way.

How many other times though have I simply taken her for granted and not considered her and I feel we all do this too.

Considering that Mother Earth has put us on notice that she must do things for herself, as I've said elsewhere, I feel perhaps a Living Prayer and even Benevolent Magic might be called for here.

The first thing that we could say and I'm sure many of you have been saying is simply voicing our support for Mother Earth. For example, "I am asking that Mother Earth experience all the co-operation, love and feeling of being cherished in the most benevolent way from all beings."

And now I feel it would be useful to have a Benevolent Magic for us as well. You might say if you like, "I request that I experience the most benevolent life for me on Mother Earth and as a direct reflection of that - that Mother Earth bask in that benevolence as well and that this all occur in the most benevolent way resulting in the most benevolent outcome."

Now I realize that that is a bit repetitive but the word "benevolent" which is a cornerstone of this site is meant to express a feeling.

That is why for some of you - in some languages other than english may have noticed that that feeling is described by other words in your language. Perhaps your language is more reflective of feelings and the feeling - benevolent - is expressed easily.

On the other hand your language may not be as reflective of feelings and one has to search for just the right words if you can find them. Since you know that my intention with the word benevolent is to express a feeling then that might help you to find that word or those words.

So, just a good thought and feeling for the day eh. Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Feeling Those Who Assist You

There is a reason why I have been training you all to learn how to feel energies and invite them to the point where you can feel them benevolently be they angelic, deity, your guides or whatever purely benevolent and loving energies.

The reasons that a lot of this works - Benevolent Magic, Living Prayer and many more shamanic things that I will share with you on Mystical Man in time is that the energies are involved in the creation and recreation of all that we do here.

So I'm going to give you some homework - it is very simple. The homework is specifically and only this - ask that you have the experience of these benevolent energies.

Just pick a time and a place in such a way that you can feel/experience these energies. Turn the ringer off on the phone. Make sure that you won't be disturbed. Pick a time when it's quiet or use earplugs if you like so that you can create as much quiet as possible.

If you don't know exactly what to say then I recommend you use the format of the Living Prayer. You could say, "I am asking that the most benevolent and loving energies be with me now - that they be of (and you can fill in your deity name here if you wish) and that they be of my Angels and Guides and all loving beings who watch over me from spirit world and beyond."

That's all. You can sit or lie down if you like but when you say the Living Prayer make sure that you have gotten into the comfortable position where you're going to be. Try not to move very much after you've said it, breathing of course is alright, that's very helpful so that the energy can locate you and be with you.

Try this at least 3 or 4 times or until you're able to feel something. It is not a requirement to do the work on Mystical Man. You can still do a great deal of good for yourself and others but it would be very helpful, it will greatly enhance what you do and of course it is a building block to the more that I intend to pass on to you with Mystical Man.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Transitioning - To Trust

Thank you all for your patience. I know I haven't posted here for a while and it might take a little while to get back into the rhythm of things.

I also want to let you know that I'll be easing over - over time now - to posting a little more on Mystical Man and less on this site. I've said a great deal about Benevolent Magic and other things here and I feel that some of the things that I've opened up here - topics that are of special interest and value - can be added to more effectively on Mystical Man.

So I'm not saying goodbye, I'm just going to encourage you to ease over there once I get back on track after the earthquake.

I want to thank you all again for your patience as well as for your prayers and encouragement.

One more thing, there's a time coming now when we will all need to be more co-operative with each other so for those of you who have been missing homework :-) I'm going to give you short homework - not hard but it depends how you look at it eh.

If you want to do something unusual or even a little daring in some cases I'm going to suggest that you pick a neighbor, that you feel safe with and where you feel comfortable, that you don't know and to whom you've never spoken - perhaps there's just been no reason to do so - and see if you can strike up a conversation with them - just one.

I feel it's a time now to make friends in the neighborhood or area where you live even if you don't think you have that much in common - sometimes it might just surprise you how much you do. Give it a try but only if you feel safe alright.

Thanks for reading and I'll be posting again before long. Goodlife.

Earthquake In Hawaii

Greetings. I want to let you know I'm alright and I also want to thank you all for your prayers and your concern.

Please everyone say Living Prayer or your own kind of prayer for everyone here in Hawaii and everyplace else that you feel may need it.

If you don't remember what to say I recommend you say, "I am asking that all those beings who need help receive all the help they need now in the most benevolent way from all those beings who can help them."

Thank you again. Goodlife.

More On Connections

It's all connected you know. We ask for a Living Prayer, we ask for help from spirit or people, we ask for Benevolent Magic - we ask.

Many times what we ask for is answered and there are other times when people ask us for things. Sometimes we don't think about it as being asked.

Maybe we receive a bill - maybe we're a little uncomfortable about paying the bill but then we think back on how relieved we were when we received a letter and thought it was one thing and opened it up and found out it was good news.

Keep in mind that good news, as they say, goes around and comes around. So lets support good news for all. Lets support good news by giving good news to others as we receive it.

Goodlife.

Permission To Desire And Acquire

When do we find our way to the place that we are desiring. So many of us have desires that seem to be just out of our reach. They have siren songs - meaning that we get hints, fragrances as it were of their availability but so frequently just out of our reach.

Consider for a moment, "Is this something that would really be good for me. Is this something that is truly desirable. Is it something - yes - that is benevolent for me and how benevolent is it for others."

If you can say that it's benevolent for you and that it is benevolent for others then this is what I recommend. Right now think of how few words you can put it into and say in the form of Benevolent Magic quietly - say, "I request that I now receive - and fill in your request - in the most benevolent way for me and that all that occurs to bring this about will happen in the speediest most benevolent way resulting in the most benevolent outcome."

It is important you see, to give yourself permission to have this thing - whatever it is and it's also important to acknowledge that we live in a community of others and it's important that it be benevolent for them as well.

I know you cannot see all possibilities but if you can ask this in that way I believe it will help and to accentuate it happening in the best way first ask that all the benevolent and loving energies that are available for you be present first and wait for a few moments.

Many of you will feel something good. If you're not yet feeling sensitive to energies then wait about 30 seconds - they'll probably be there. Then say that Benevolent Magic.

Remember now and always - it's important to give yourself permission to have that thing that you want and to have it in a benevolent way and it's also important to take whatever it is outside of the realm of the unattainable.

Give yourself permission to have it yes - but put it into the realm of the possible by turning it into Benevolent Magic.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Observing The Good Things

How many times have you counted your blessings? I know that's an old time saying - or something like it eh.

Here's some interesting homework. Consider counting your blessings and I'll tell you why it's interesting. It's going to require real thought. Sometimes our blessings are vague - meaning that it might just be the friendly person who smiles at the bus stop or maybe someone that holds the door for you when you're struggling out of the supermarket with a shopping bag.

One does not always consider these things blessings and yet the blessings I'd like you to count - just any day - pick a day - are things like that.

Of course you know a lot of your blessings but pick a day and count when people do nice things for you. You don't have to write down all the nice things, you can just put a check mark - see how many you get.

I believe that a spirit of co-operation is coming now and I'd recommend if you haven't noticed it to wait about 3 weeks and then pick a day and see how many people do nice things for you - smile at you, cause you to feel welcome and to that end I'm going to recommend that you say the following Living Prayer.

You might say, "I am asking that a friendly spirit and co-operative attitude prevails amongst all those whom I meet and who are even near me that I could meet and for myself as well in the most benevolent way now."

If enough people say this it might just spread around the world and support and even stimulate such a co-operative spirit. For us all to feel a greater sense of benevolence in this world I believe we need to trigger it and that's why I'm suggesting this simple homework today.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Taking Over For The Spirits In The Stone

Kirsten has asked an interesting question that will help to expand on a recent post here. Here is her question followed by my answer:


Hi, Robert,

Thank you for this interesting post. I remember seeing very clearly the faces of native americans, hundreds of them within the canyon in the rocks of the Dragoon Mt. Range in Arizona. Why do you say, and why is it they are "moving on"?

Kirsten


Kirsten has asked why the spirits are moving on. Here is my answer.

We have been getting trained for a long time to perform the functions of what these spirits who have been watching over us and taking care of us have been doing. These spirits are able to move on now that we have the skills integrated to take over for them.

Much of this work we are integrating and applying in our now sleep state as our dreams are becoming more and more vivid. I'm sure many of you have noticed that.

I grant that sometimes what we remember from our dreams can be a little intense and sometimes even a bit overwhelming. I believe I have referred to this recently as well in my post Training As We Sleep.

Still we are able at the deepest levels of dreams to apply not only to ourselves and to other beings on the Earth but to apply many of the spiritual skills that Mother Earth has ceded to us.

Mother Earth must now look after her own body as there is much for her to repair and she can do this. This does not mean she's going to abandon us but rather that she trusts that we can, like any good children, take over certain things for our parent when our parent needs assistance.

She will repair herself and again be able to take over much of what we are carrying for her now.

So I'm going to suggest that for those of you who feel good about Living Prayer that you say this - I recommend you say, "I am asking that as children of Creator and of Mother Earth that we have the skills and abilities to consciously or at the deep sleep level or more be able to serve, support and nurture Mother Earth and all beings on Earth in the most benevolent way for us and them and that this will result in the most benevolent outcome.

Goodlife.

Training As We Sleep

Who are we. Are we only a product of our parents - however loving. Are we only a product of our family extended - past and present. Are we a product of Creator here and beyond. Are we more than that.

We are more than that. We are everything we have ever eaten and everything that has passed through us to go on to become part of something else such as the water we drink which passes through us and is purified through the Earth and goes on to be part of someone or something else.

Every plant we have ever consumed whether we are conscious of it being a plant or not is part of us - its life, its loves, its family, its experience - especially of the sun and of the rain is a portion of us.

It is this diverse world that makes us up that is all around us and inside of us that allows us to not only experience many things that go beyond our own possibility in life experience but also contribute to our capacity to have more life than we live and that more life takes place beyond our conscious mind into the world of dreams.

In dreams we can be anything, be anywhere, go anywhere and often are observing others live their lives.

I have been taught and I believe from my experience that many of us are training to be Guides. We are not just watchers in our dreams - we are training. We are with another who is teaching us how to guide.

From time to time you might catch a little vision of yourself or the being you are identifying with as yourself in the dream and you wake up and you realize that you do not now nor have you ever looked like that.

When that happens and you have the distinct feeling of actually experiencing it as yourself in the dream, that is because that's how Guides are taught.

Guides are taught in such a way as they truly feel what the other person is experiencing so that their guidance does not come from a point of view of teaching someone for whom you have no real idea of what they are experiencing. You must live it with them.

Sometimes that living is challenging but you must live it with them and then whether to depart lovingly or to get away - we wake up.

We sometimes get confused that it is about our lives but almost always with the exception of visions it is teaching that we are experiencing from others and immersion in the life of another somewhere - maybe not even on this planet - that helps us to get more sensitive. That's the bonus you see - we get to be more sensitive to the experience of others on this planet and maybe even in our immediate environment because through that teaching as we learn gradually and slowly how to be a Guide, we experience things that we might not ever be able to experience on this planet.

So the next time you wake up from a dream that seems so real - it is real and dreams are more than the stuff of fantasy.

Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Passages In Time

Do you see in the sky these days clouds that look like something. Oh not just beautiful clouds or even lenticular clouds which often have a unique beauty of their own but clouds which on one edge or more clearly indicate a picture however fleeting of someone or perhaps some thing.

This is something you will see more and more these days as spirits are presenting themselves before they depart completely from the planet.

Many of these spirits have been watching over different groups of other spirits and occasionally watching over different groups of living beings. Many of them have been family members from the past or on occasion tribal elders in spirit form.

Have you ever noticed in stone - mountains or rocks - a clear, easily discernible face. This is a similar situation where there has been such a desire to protect and oversee, to insulate and support that the face has been imprinted on the stone either through a volcanic expression or more often through the effects of wind and rain and time.

Most of these beings are moving on now and within say - a thousand years will not be visible in the stone anymore but while they are departing they will be visible in the clouds.

If you happen to see a face in the sky and it is pleasing and you have a moment - say up to the sky, "Goodlife." It bids them on their way and acknowledges their love and devotion.

I just thought perhaps you'd be interested and maybe even intrigued by this passage of spirits beyond time.

Goodlife.
