Your mind set, Your Spirit, Your Goals

The famous French poet François-Anatole Thibault once said "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe". These words of wisdom ring as true today as they did when he wrote them in the early 1900's. What he captured in this quote was the mind set and spiritual sentiment needed to achieve goals.

When François states that we must not only act but also dream. He is referring to the age old law of attraction principle that what ever we think about is the driving force of any manifestation. When he states not only plan, but also believe. He is referring to the mind set of unwavering faith that is required to purposely direct these thoughts using the law of attraction.

To outline this principle in a practical way I will use it in the confines of weight loss and general health. The fact of the matter is before you hit the gym or start your new diet the battle has already been won or lost. If you go into your new regimen and think to yourself, this is going to be difficult and its going to take a long time to achieve your goal; you have already lost. This is because you are already placing negative emotions and energy to your goal and therefore the mind/spirit will not inspire the correct decisions needed to achieve this goal.

To do this correctly one must first get a clear image of what they wish to accomplish.It is important to be very specific and use opinions that are formed on your own and are not influenced by anyone else's opinions especially the modern media. There is no one body type and each person is as unique as their fingerprint and so is their opinions. It is up to the person who owns the body to decide what they feel is the appropriate weight. If it is not your desire that you are manifesting. What would be the point?

After you have this image of your goal crystal clear, keep it in your minds eye daily. Feel the feeling of this goal being accomplished and allow the joy of this feeling to be part of your everyday experience. For those who are sceptical of Law of attractions effectiveness pertaining to a fitness goal. You need only read any of Arnold Schwarzenegger's fitness books where he states the importance of daily visualizations to his goal of becoming a multi-winning Mr. Olympia.

You will find after setting these goals and visualizing the outcome. That this goal is easy, seemingly effortless. Also, you will find that the path to this goal has already been laid out in front of you as if it has already been there. It may come in the form of a great personal trainer, or a great book that outlines a routine and diet or a new found appreciation for fitness. It does not matter how it comes to you, just know in your heart that it will.

This mentality not only works for health but it also works for wealth, relationships or happiness. No matter what your goal is, the steps are exactly the same. Set the goal, visualize it daily, believe it will come to life and let your inner self inspire your actions. So, the next time you look around and decide something is not to your liking remember the words of François-Anatole Thibault "To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe".

All You have is You

Old Paradigms of society did not have much room for individuality or free thought. From the day you are born you are told what to do from the second you wake up to the second go to bed. You are even told what time to do so. Unfortunately for those who set these parameters, the people who have choose to manifest in this age of the spirit will not abide by this demand for conformity.

Although we hold no picket signs or rallies we use the most powerful force in the universe to break the mold of melancholy life. This generation has held freedom in their hearts and silently let the power of their eternal spirit change the world in which they live. The time has finally come where these collective thoughts of the the free spirits manifest into the collective sentiment of the world. As advertised, the mustard seed has grown tall, wide and has become uncontrollable.

When these spiritual rebels came to this planet they kept asking "why" until there was no answer to that question anymore. Finding there was no logical or spiritual reason for many of the things we call "normal". They then decided to form their own opinions and learn of their true divine nature.

For many, they have found the God-Power that is inside of each and every one of us. They have discovered the truth of their existence and has become one with this truth. By forming their own opinion and establishing a relationship with their inner spirit, they have allowed their true purpose to shine to the surface and they have become a powerful creator.

It is besides the fact that nothing can exist outside of this divine spirit because some have not integrated this consciousness as of yet. The truth is, the only guarantee you have is your inner spirit. Nothing else is guaranteed or even reliable for that matter.

It is time for all of humanity to look inside and find that stream of well being and creative power. Your inner spirit is all you will ever need. It is time for the masses to place faith where it belongs, with-in your divine self. Your are all you have and all you ever will. Everything and everyone else is just an extension of that. Find your inner divine and you will find the foundation for a beautiful, unique and divine life of great purpose.

Evolve the law of attration (Become a Divine Creator)

You know it, you love it and for some it has been their first introduction to enlightenment. Of course, I am referring to the law of attraction. A well-known law of the universe that has been made extremely popular by the DVD "the secret" and has been featured in countless publications.

Many of us have learned to master this law and it has served us well. It is a truly beautiful technique of the mind/spirit relationship that is tried, tested and true. This law states that whatever you pay most attention too will come to you frequently in your life experience. For example if your thinking mostly of pain you will get more pain, and if you are thinking of joy mostly you will get more joy (works with objects, experiences or anything that does not violate some one Else's free will).

After that basic understanding is given, you learn to direct your thoughts to attract more specific things into your life. This is done by taking time out each and everyday to purposefully and emotionally play these experiences in your mind until they arrive in your life.

Knowing that in this universe nothing stays stagnant. There is always an evolution, what is the evolution of the law of attraction as it relates to us. Naturally a world wide practice of this technique would be one step in our human evolution as a whole. But for the individual it would be another seemingly giant leap of faith. The giant leap of becoming a divine creator.

A divine creator is one who creates effortlessly without the restrains of time or space. Someone who feels their power so strongly that they eventually have learned the art of instant manifestation. Someone who can transcend all boundaries between the spiritual and the physical world. This person would also be of an extremely high consciousness and would have summoned his/her divine essence into existence.

To achieve this we must first start off with the absolute belief that nothing is impossible. We must dare to ask for this type of power and know that what we ask for WILL come to us in divine essence and timing. we also must know that we are born divine and we are simply returning to our original state of being. Then(most importantly) we must look with-in to raise and expand our consciousness to reconnect with our divine self.

Some have said in order to achieve such a giant jump in creation we must actually merge with the soul of our creator (which has been done before). Making the process of creation a greater part of our couscous desires and subsequently give us more control of this process.

Creation Process:
1. The desire appears in your mind.
2. It is processed in the unconscious or subtle body
3. It passes through collective consciousness
4. It is organized cosmically in pure consciousness.

Provided, there is only one way to raise your consciousness and that is by working daily with your divine teacher. I am speaking of your inner spirit which is an extension of source. Your spirit will lead you higher and higher up the level of consciousness until you get to where you want to be. Then you will set new goals and the cycle will continue again.

There is nothing I can write that can tell you exactly how to achieve anything. So, I will not try. What I can say to you with 100% absolute certainty is that your inner spirit will lead you to this desire (if that's what you choose). It will take you to the highest levels of consciousness and will show you how to climb to the highest mountain tops. As long as you trust that is will, it shall be and the knowledge you are seeking right now will come to you easily and effortlessly.

What I can say to all of you and it will be agreed upon by your spirit is; Dare to push the limits of your imagination. Expect more from yourself and your creations, do not worry you will not be let down. Dare to dream what has never thought possible before and dare to believe that it will come true.

Hidden Segments

It is no secret that the higher aspects of yourself operate in a totally different system than our physical bodies. The concept of time is one of the most important example. To the spirit time is nothing more than a physical agreement adopted by the body to catalog moments of physical experience. A physical agreement that has no value in the spiritual world of the higher self.

You can see evidence of this in quantum physics. Quantum Physics shows that all things are only possibilities of being something until it is observed and then the observer projects the subject into form. Making time only valuable to those who observe it. The higher self is not one of those who choose to observe this agreement. Only the body and mind (for some) have the need to observe this agreement. That is not to say that the spirit is not aware of this perspective because it is the creator of your physical experience, it is just not observed.

Knowing that the spirit does not play by these physical rules of time. It leaves the spirit unlimited possibilities to place hidden segments into our experiences. These segments can happen so fast that from the human perspective they will go unnoticed. Many of your spiritual break through happen in this way. Of course only if that is the desire of that individual.

These hidden segments have purposes that are unimaginable and are as unlimited as the vast universe. It is impossible from our physical perspective to consciously partake in these moments. It helps to realize that there are many hidden factors to the progression of obtaining higher consciousness. We can not control this in which we do not understand, we can only acknowledge and appreciate the fact that its power is with-in us.

The only thing we can control is the frequency of these progressions. By asking for growth and following your emotional guidance system to allow the progression of self. It is absolutely imperative that you always reach for the best feeling thought and action you can until it becomes as second nature as breathing. This will keep you in close vibrational proximity to Source and the closer you are to source the faster you will progress in mind, body and spirit.

Yet another reason why your feelings are the most thing in your physical experience. Stay true to happiness and Love. Allow the flow of the stream of well being to take you to your goals of expansion and you will have many, many hidden segments of progression and expansion.

Raise your consciousness (The flow of the divine)

There are many ways to raise your consciousness, but for the purpose of today's lesson I am going to speak of a method in which one's own understanding pushes their consciousness to raise. Put simply this means allowing your new found level of consciousness to resonate in your being and in-turn creating a new spiritual understanding (so to speak). Which will in-turn birth new questions and answers. It is almost like letting your mind travel and explore its new found consciousness to find new pathways into a higher consciousness (as if it was a physical place).

In order to achieve this leap frogging of consciousness you must intend it. Make a mantra that goes something like "I am exploring this reality with the intention of becoming a more conscious being and to evolve all that is my being" Then allow the spirit to guide you through the journey of time/space reality to draw upon new levels of thought. This technique is very unpredictable and it truly allows your inner spirit to be your teacher. Making the trust you have for your inner self a huge factor of your spiritual success. As well as letting go of the mask that you wear as self and allowing the spirit (which is your true essence of being) become you.

An good example of this progression is; When you start to realize that you are a spiritual being having a human experience and not a human being having a spiritual experience(which will raise your consciousness in leaps and bounds). Then you are left with the notion of evolving the spirit, and then wondering what the spirit is evolving for. Will lead you to a new found understanding of the purpose of life. It is a never ending cycle of student and teacher where you are playing both roles.

Meditation will also aid this process by silencing the chatter of the mind and allowing the message of the spirit to fully come through. The spirit observes in silence during our daily motions, listening and taking in all that we do. The reverse is the situation during meditation we observe the spirit in the same way, as we listen while the spirit speaks (in it's own way). Many practices of meditation has the person start off by saying, "Spirit, I am silencing the mind, so I can feel and understand your wisdom".

Above all else patience and compassion with yourself is needed. You must allow yourself all the room in the world for error and for this new consciousness to become Incorporated into the mind. Remember feeling good is an indication of how close you are to achieving this raise in consciousness. So it is important that you don't become too hard on yourself. This is not about studying, its about letting the river of life take you downstream. Now put down your paddle and let the flow of the divine take you away.

Be like a child

As a child you spent countless hours dreaming, playing and having fun. It was no wonder that you look back at this time in your life with such great emotions of joy. It was such wonderful time you lived to play, you had beautiful fantasies about everything your endless imagination could think up and you did not know what a worry was.

Then we got older and somewhere along your life people have told you that the dreaming, playing and fun mentality is child's play and has no place in the adult world. Now those on the spiritual path have now learned that this so called "adult" mentality not only leads to a very aloof life but it can hinder your growth as a person and more over a spirit.

Taking into consideration the laws of the universe. Was it because we were young and Innocent that we had such a beautiful life or was it because our minds were creating such beauty because our mind sets attracted it to be. It is obviously because we were attracting this style of life because all we knew was bliss. This mind set is the key to inner peace, world peace and all your desires.

A person on the spiritual path has the immense task of trying to forget the vision painted for them of a cold, UN-loving world. This is truly what it means when many masters use the term UN-learn. To take what is your truth and separate it from what you were told your truth is and too live in the joyful, blissful state of mind as intended.

This is not only important to your over all happiness but it is pivotal to your ability to create and manifest. It is your level of happiness or vibrational projection that will allow good things to enter your experience. Making the child like attitude I speak of the true attitude for success. Fun is not a luxury it is a necessity and the more you become a fun happy being, the closer you are to your true nature and ultimately your source.

It is time to smile, laugh, play, love, dream and above all be happy. This is what your here to do "be happy and create". Take some time and feel what it was like to be a kid again, hold that in your heart and carry it with you for the rest of your days. There is no time like the present to begin your new child like outlook on life. Oh yeah, Have fun and tag your it!!!

The Ten Commandments, world peace and enlightenment

The ten commandment story is as well known of a story as that there is or ever was. Whether you believe in the Ten Commandments story or not is irrelevant the Ten Commandments has been governing your life for thousands of years. Governments have used this doctrine to govern people since its existence. The problem is that the entire story and actual commandments have been completely misunderstood. My understanding of these events, much like a Hollywood movie is based in reality but has been greatly exaggerated for dramatic effect.

The story goes like this; Moses (a great master) asked God ultimately his higher self.
“God, how will I know when we are close to you?” (Enlightenment)

God said “you will know that you are close to me (and ultimately in vibration alignment)
When;”

1) You feel like there is no other God besides me. – You will know that I am the only thing that exists.

2) You do not worship false idols. – You will not fall for religions that give you false paths to me, you will know the truth is with-in.

3) You do not take the Lords name in vein. – You will not curse the powers you have inside of you because you will be creating well.

4) You hold every day as Sacred – not just Sunday and holidays

5) You honor your Mother and Father – you will appreciate and respect your past and those that have come before you

6) You will not feel the impulse to murder – you will not wish to harm anyone

7) You will not feel the impulse to commit adultery – you will not break the individual covenants that you made with your fellow beings.

8) You will not feel the impulse to steal – because you know that you can have whatever you want anyway through your spirit.

9) You will not feel the impulse to lie – you realize there is no benefit of false creation

10) You will not feel the need to covet your neighbor’s wife – Create your own ideal family situation. Do not envy anyone. Admire and get ideas for your own life situation. So, you can create your own life preference.

Looking at these set of statements from an enlightened perspective it seems that the message was clear. Treat the virus and not the symptoms. Much in the same way those on the enlightened path are finding out to monitor your feelings and not your thoughts.

Your state of being births actions and not the other way around. If one can focus on the unity that is the truth of the universe, laws would be pointless because the desire to harm would not be there. The understanding of this universal unity (reveled via enlightenment) would not only be understood but would also be adopted into our psyches.

This understanding is a principle that will lead us into a new age of world peace and love; perhaps it is time to adopt a new mentality about the ills of society. All issues are truly a bi-product in the perceived separation from spirit and should not be confused with anything else. So, what can we do?

Those who are enlightened must remember that we can not change anyone’s mind. Changing ones mind is an extremely personal process capable only by the spirit in divine timing. So, we must focus our energy on encouraging the individual to look inside to find their higher self so that the spirit takes over their actions and love becomes their only motivation.

We will achieve world peace one person at a time and the tools we will use are love, compassion, kindness and patience. These are the virtues of a truly divine being and will serve as a great example to all potential enlightened hopefuls.
