A Simple Shift Brings a New State of Being

We all do it.  We allow the circumstances of life to influence our state of being.  Something happens at work or in our home life, and our mind launches into a diatribe of monstrous proportions.  It doesn’t matter if it was yesterday or last week or ten years ago.  That one little bugaboo becomes our focus and colours everything in our life. We never realize that our ranting keeps us locked into a state of being that is not and will never serve us. 

All states of being exist.  There are states of being such as:  health, sickness, anger, happiness, wealth, poverty, etc.  They are like radio stations in the ethers and just as you can change stations on your stereo, you can move out of one state of being and into another.  Through our thinking and emotions, we attune to a particular frequency, and it becomes the dominant vibration in our life.  It is the vibration which attracts circumstances, situations and people into our life.

Beware of the Opinionated Mind

They are out there.  Those individuals who will zealously defend a particular belief even though the information presented before them proves it is wrong.  Trapped in a fixed mode of thinking, these individuals will exasperate and frustrate you.  No matter how you present the information they will refuse to believe you.

Usually after engaging in a conversation with these types of individuals, you will find yourself feeling as though someone just sucked the life force out of you.  Your energy will be depleted and often you will be emotionally charged with anger or resentment.  You may even begin to doubt your own beliefs.

The Law of Purpose

For some unknown reason, we seem to have adopted the wrong interpretation of the Law of Purpose.  Somewhere down through the centuries, we came to believe that our purpose in life was to come here and make this world a better place.  Tied to this central theme was the idea that your role in making this world a better place was to get an education, get a job, and contribute to society.

 

Success in this definition was defined by that which was on the outside.  We were fulfilling our purpose in life if we had the physical trappings dictated by society.  Now there is nothing wrong with having things but when our focus is purely on the outer manifestation it takes us in the opposite direction from the original meaning of the Law of Purpose.  It is a direction that takes us away from our innate inner guidance. 

 

Time to instil a little poetry...Awaken

 

 

 

 

 

 

Awaken

 

Awaken dear people, the choice draws near.

There is no reason to fear.

It is very clear.

Make the choice.

Only love here.

 

There is no threat in the light.

It is time to shine bright.

The darkness has fear.

Call it out of the closet, and it will not come near.

Where there is light, darkness cannot appear.

 

Never Look Back...

We all do it.  When something in our life goes wrong or doesn’t work out the way we want it to, we have this compulsion to continually think about.  For some of us, we can become quite obsessed about it.  We talk to other people about it.  We search the internet.  We have intimate dialogues in our head as we analyze it.  Rationalize it.  Defend our behaviours.  We even have imaginary conversations with those individuals who we deemed have wronged us. Round and round we go. 

 

It doesn’t matter whether it is a failed relationship, a job loss, a dismal health prognosis, the death of someone or even a stupid argument; we as humans have this need to troll through our memory banks searching for the answers. Why did this happen to me?  What could I have done differently?  When did this chain of pain begin?

Time to Reprogram Your Beliefs



We come into this world a clean slate and over time we are conditioned and programmed with other people’s beliefs, judgements, superstitions and prejudices.  By the time we hit our teenage years; these programs have become firmly entrenched in our mind and influence not only our thinking, but also our behaviours and perceptions.  Since they are so deeply embedded in us, most people rarely understand how these false premises are affecting them in adulthood.

One of the most detrimental beliefs prevalent within our world is that of conditional love.  Most of us we grew up being told, “I will love you only if...” Words that were uttered by our parents or authority figures which implied if we did what we were told we would be loved.  What this belief

Inner Transformation or Revolution?

Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.  Today I am wise, so I am changing myself. - Rumi

There has been some discussion lately regarding Russell Brand’s interview with Jeremy Paxman.  There was nothing new in what Russell was saying.  The points of view he put forth regarding political corruption, corporate interests, materialism and the potential devastation of Planet Earth have all been cited before.  People’s discontent with the various institutions in this world has been going on for centuries.

I agree with Russell’s opinion about the importance being aware of what is going on in the world. I just don’t believe that getting emotionally charged up about the issues actually increases awareness levels and empowers people.

I agree that there needs to be a change.  Where I differ with him is in how the change needs to come about. Russell seems to advocate the need for people to rise up, take a stance and engage in some sort of revolution. The problem with this approach is it
