Imagine that you are always directing your attention and energy in the best possible way. There is no limit to what you can achieve.
We constantly make tiny decisions. We can direct our attention in any direction we desire, in this moment.
Sadly, we humans make a lot of strange decisions. Evolution has not built us to make perfect choices all the time. Evolution built us to spread our DNA and conserve as much energy as possible. The keywords here are “conserve energy”. Our brain is not big compared to the rest of our body – it is only about 2% of our body mass – but it contributes to about 20% of our energy-use when resting [1]. To conserve energy we have evolved a lot of shortcuts in our thinking.
However, there are some tools that help us make more correct decisions. Few things in life can be done with absolute certainty, but you can significantly improve the probability of your decision being the right one. Here are 9 of the tools that can make your decisions, and your life, amazing:
1 – Begin with the end in mind
I was first introduced to this principle in the book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People [2].
One of the amazing capabilities of human beings is visualization. But it is a double-edged sword. You can visualize both what you want to happen and what you don’t want to happen. When you put a lot of sustained effort into the visions, they have a tendency to come true, both the good and the bad.
This is the essence of the law of attraction. We attract more of what we focus on.
“If the ladder is not leaning against the right wall, every step we take just gets us to the wrong place faster.” – Stephen Covey
2 – The 80/20-Rule
The 80/20-rule, or Pareto’s Principle, states that 80% of our results come from 20% of our efforts.
Before we are born we are asked just one question by our soul family. “What is it you would like to learn this lifetime?” It is then, in our answer, that soul contracts are formed.
If we wish to learn patience, we will not ask to be surrounded by Zen Masters, but rather people (siblings for example) who will push our buttons and annoy us to the ends of the earth. If we wish to learn love, we will be shown hate, and no matter the lesson, we ask that the opposite be brought to us for example, if self confidence is chosen, then friends in disguise will come and step on us.
It is within this very principle that all soul contracts are based, for it is only in being stepped on that we have no choice but to learn to STAND UP for ourselves.
Self development can be a deeply painful process that by nature requires us to be scrubbed. It is in the repetitive scrubbing of a diamond that it gains its sparkle and we are no different. There are two kinds of pain, learning pain and abusive pain. While the latter serves little to no purpose, the former is fundamental to our growth as human beings.
Other than beginner’s luck, which (in my opinion) is the universes way of showing us that we can achieve a high level of success, with of course, practice; the first step to growth is being knocked off balance.
We get removed from center by ‘x’ amount which is directly proportionate to how much we have chosen to learn. It is through learning and growth that we come back to our center with the tools that were required to bring ourselves home.
The flip side of our return to balance is expressed directly as growth.
The universe in its infinite love for us will continue to send us lessons, and one of the most frustrating truths to accept is as follows: ‘Wow, you learned a lesson, you overcame a problem?
Congratulations, here is your reward… ANOTHER problem.’ Each time we show the universe that we can take the heat, life becomes a little hotter! It is simply one of the painful aspects to this path of learning, yet it is beautiful because of the growth we experience from it.
The main thing to remember here (going full circle) is that it is our friends who come to teach us these lessons. It is our soul friends who (by our consent) hurt us, our friends who betray us and our friends who give us our opportunities to learn.
In order for these experiences to seem real, we naturally forget that they are our friends when we cross over the river of forgetfulness (birth). If you would rather be happy than right, just pretend that they love you, it will definitely change your perspective!
We could all benefit from some more peace and calm in our lives. Most of us have experienced how stressful situations can make our hearts pound through our chest, our faces grow red, and to top if off, make our palms sweaty right before we have to shake hands with someone important.
These are natural reactions to situations where we feel out of control or anxious. It is the fight or flight response we got for Christmas some time ago from the ever so funny Evolutionary Santa. Our bodies are pumped up and ready to either fight or run for our lives, with the help of some powerful stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol. Sadly, neither fighting nor fleeing is a viable option when you’re holding your speech at your wedding.
Luckily there are some tools you can use to reduce the severity of your fear response. You won’t be able to short-circuit your entire biology, however. Some fear will always be your companion. You can reduce it. And the first method is…
Accept Your Fear
What?! I want to get rid of it. But, acceptance is the first step to change. It sounds like a paradox, but when it comes to fear your resistance is only fueling it. Fear can be understood from a perspective of neural pathways linking some situation or thing to danger or bad feelings. Continue reading →
It seems all the craze is about how to have a spiritual awakening and the awakening movement. And it’s true, the number of awakening people are rising in mass numbers across the globe and what could be more exciting! Yet, while all of the focus has been “its time to wake up” “it’s time to remember who you are and where you come from”. We seem to overlook an important question. Why are we waking up?
1. We are destroying the earth. Obviously we can’t fight the scientific data of global warming. It’s a fact. As well as the detrimental effects of pollution in our oceans and the massdeforestation of our natural rain forests. However, should the human race carry the weight of this guilt?
That, we are such horrible care takers and “its all our fault”. Shame on us? Absolutely not. You see, guilt is a powerful emotion and fear is an infectious virus. Next to fear, guilt is a number one motivator and today I am here to tell you it’s not your fault, so lose the guilt. If you think because you like/need to consume things that you are to blame for the state of the world, forget about it!
Do you control the world? No, you control your world, so be conscientious and always try to give back to the earth as much as you take.
To put this into perspective you are an organism and in biological science there are three types of organisms. The first class are organisms that give as much as they take. The second class are organisms that give more than they take, and the third are known as viruses, that take and do not give back.
Humans as species, can also be divided into these three classes. There are those who exist on the planet who always make the choice to give back to the earth and then there are those who take and take and do not give back.Whichever you decide to be is your own free will. Be a virus or be a caretaker the choice is up to you.
2. Other Species are Helping in Our Ascension
There is some merit to this theory, as there have been many accounts of inter-dimensional beings assisting in our evolutionary process. And many accounts by those who have undergone the spiritual awakening process of these beings communicating with them. In fact, throughout history there are several accounts of this and are known as stair step evolution. As in the history of Ancient Egypt dating back to 4500 BC where there are unexplained leaps in educational advancement of the civilization.
3. We are Going to Have Open Contact
For over 50 years humanity has been spoon fed little by little, tales of alien abductions and UFO invasion stories. Almost as if we are being prepared for something…..From popular movies such as Judgement Day, to media reports of spotted UFO in the skies.
The number of accounts is increasing by the day. There are also many accounts of abductees, and unexplainable cases where people have clear memory of being taken against their own will.
Whether you believe that another species is here to help in our ascension or another species is here to invade us. The framework of this theory has been embedded so far into the psyche of human kind, that if an event of this magnitude happens for all to see, it will not come as a huge shock to society as a whole. And whether or not these theories have credible proof, we need to understand the motives behind them and associate a better understanding of that in which we exist in to see where they are derived from.
So here is the spiritual science of it all.
The earth itself is a body of consciousness, just as all other planets in all solar systems, in every galaxy; in the entire universe.
What does that mean?
It means that the earth itself is an expression of its own being. In the same way that your body is composed of billions of atoms; aliving breathing organism. The earth is expressed in this same way. There is the common phrase that describes this and I am sure you have heard of it, that “we are the universe experiencing itself in every moment” But how can we truly understand this with clarity?
I AM presence.
What does this mean to you? To me it means I AM nothing and in that nothing, I become everything. I am every planet, moon, star and galaxy. I am every stone, pebble and mountain. I am every drop in the ocean, because I am the ocean. I am everything all at once and when I see that I am everything, I who I think I am, have become nothing.
When I look out into the night sky, I see the same reflection of myself as if I were looking under a microscope viewing the cells of my being. And if you can change your perspective you too might just see how everything is connected.
From the smallest cell to the largest galaxy everything is the same representation of itself. This, the true meaning of ” The Kingdom of God is All Around You”
So let’s get down to the major question at hand here. Why are we waking up?
Throughout the works of Dolores Cannon, a wildly popular author and hypnotherapist specializing in past life regression, we find a common theme. In the last five years of working with thousands of clients for over four decades what Dolores discovered was astonishing.
She began to come into contact with those who had not previously incarnated in the earth. And surprisingly, what she found was that these people had come directly from source itself or other dimensions of reality.
These dimensions of reality are what we understand as cells or circles when we associate them with the flower of life and when she posed the question to each of her patients “why have you come?”. In astonishment, many replied with the same answer “we heard the call”.
Have no fear there is a new world arising. Mother earth must shed her skin to ascend and transform and every ending is a new beginning. A new world is arising, a new earth, a pure earth. An earth where love is at the very core.
Do you remember the movie Men in Black, where the aliens are rolling around marbles and when the alien picks one up, you see that there are millions of galaxies inside each one?
Hold onto that thought.
In 1901, Richard Maurice Bucke released a book titled Cosmic Consciousness and in it he explained that everything is composed of an all-encompassing immanent God.
Meaning that the universe itself, is a living organism and each planetary body has its own consciousness that is linked to the cosmic consciousness of the all.
Throughout his work, you are opened up to the patterns. Once you see the pattern you begin to understand where you are in existence.
It starts with the Golden Ratio that you would find in flowers, pine cones, and sea shells and moves on to roots of trees, thunderbolts of lightning, and tornadoes.
This understanding can be applied to the microcosm and macrocosm for you science minded folks. As it signifies seeing the same patterns reproduced on all levels of the cosmos. From the largest scale to the smallest scale, the macrocosm represents the universe and the microcosm represents the small sub atomic at even metaphysical levels.
Let’s think on that for a bit and move on. Continue reading →
There are so many ancient artifacts from the past that still perplex us today. How did ancient civilizations create such intricate and advanced technologies? There are so many mysteries surrounding humanities past that we are finally becoming aware of. There seems to be a lot more going on than meets the eye…
Here is a list of some of the most amazing discovery’s to date!
1: The London Artifact- This artifact is speculated to be so extremely old that part of the wooden handle has turned to coal. Coal is known to take millions of years to form, so then how is this possible? How old could this strange artifact actually be?
2: The Fuente Magna Bowl- This is one of the most controversial artifacts in South America. It is a large stone bowl, similar to a container for making libations, baptisms or for purification ceremonies. Found by a villager near Lake Titicaca, the engraved writing lining the bowl is thought to be Sumerian!
