A lesson in Suggestion

Ok fine, I admit it, whatever, I have to admit it or the rest of this essay will make no sense. So in the interest of communication in the proper way I will admit it. Ok YES I watch American Idol fine. I hope you're all happy. I like the show; I enjoy watching the kids with dreams in their eyes trying to make it come true. I know that the legitimacy of the outcome is debatable and if you look closely you can see it on a grander level.

I was watching the results show last week and it got to the part where the kids sang as a group. I noticed that they paired them up rather purposefully way. They paired the ones they gave praise to (warranted or not) together as if to suggest to you who you should be voting for next week. This may seem innocent enough if you look at this just another show. When you realize that the show is a show of public opinion and a great way to practice the art of suggestion. You can see how they can mark what works and what don't in the art of mass suggestion. I will leave you to your own thoughts on this matter.

The Law of suggestion is as powerful as the Law of attraction just much, much less known. The fact is that when you fully understand this law, you can influence your audience easily. It's something that has been done and has been written about for thousands of years. Napoleon Hill sites Marc Anthony's speech to the Roman's after Caesars death, as one of the best examples of this. The Roman Empire knew about how much power this would yield. One can only wonder how much of that knowledge was passed on to Constantine's Empire which glimpses can still be seen today in Rome (If you don't get what I am getting at do your own research on "The counsel of Nicaea").

Before anyone can even start playing in the ether and sending out suggestions one must first get their mind free from others suggestions. This law can only work for those who are clear in their own mind and their own desires. Making it just like the Law of attraction in the fact that it works minimally until one is of a consciousness where they have a clear understanding of what is really going on. That knowing is truly where your power comes from. That path to this knowledge is inside of you just waiting for you to walk it.

The power of suggestion cannot be used on those who are enlightened. To influence the enlightened one must speak to the spirit in a message that is relayed from their spirit and relayed by the expression of being. Remove the veil and see what you see and don't get ahead of yourself on these Laws. The fundamentals must be innate in order to use these laws.

"It is only when my writing is bursting with belief that it can influence the audience" - Napoleon Hill

Use the Universal Laws as a marker of your progress but do not let these laws define your path. The Laws are the Magic you get to use as a reward for cleaning your soul and becoming a divine being. This is great power and can only be given to those who have a deep understanding for it to make sense.

Cure the disease and not the symptom. I will leave you with this; figure out how much of your opinion is forced upon you and how much is your own. Take inventory and remove anything not yours. Clean your mind, body and soul and replace what you don't want with loving beautiful cosmic energy.

A message from you

I can say many words to motivate you and drive you to extraordinary actions. Anyone who knows the power of words and suggestion can manipulate their audience to understand the point that they are making. If you look at history you can see the truth in that statement. So, lets suspend the words of the writer and acknowledge the message of the spirit.

I am sympathetic to the lies you have been told. I am even sympathetic to the experiences that may have scared you. Even though nothing that happens too you is by accident. It is all created by you and for you and a your grand purpose. When you pull the veil of illusion of your eyes you will see you were never in any danger and never will be.

Listen to your spirit yelling and screaming for you to return home. It asks you to stop putting so much faith in words and start feeling your way through your life. It asks that you contemplate more, ask more questions and direct them inward. Understand that all the knowledge you need is inside and TRUTH is not going to come in any other way but inward. The entire Universe is with-in you LITERALLY!!!

Everything you perceive outside is inside. Understand that you have 100% control of your Universe, which is floating in a never-ending sea of Universes and possible Universes. We are a part of something so vast that understanding of it is impossible from this perspective but you can get there. It all starts right here with your desire to be more and do more. I can not choose this for you despite my overwhelming desire to do so. Its all up to you and what you believe!!!

Your strongest moments of belief have come from a place of desperation. All your downs have always been the first step on the way up. All that is true was first an misinterpreted of truth. Find purpose in the ups and downs for this is truly a divine mentality. Do not fall for the illusions of reality. Shift your consciousness into the world you wish to live so you can begin evolving the spirit to move into the next level of its progression. Start by taking hold of your god powers and create with power and intention. If you can not find enough belief in yourself to create your ideal universe follow your intuition and let it lead you to that place.

Take inventory of how this message makes you feel because that's truly what matters. Does it send you up or down either way their is great purpose in this message.

Blessings to your divine path

The New Thought Movement

There are many words that I can say about empowering the self and creating a peaceful world. There are more metaphors that I can use than there are leaders to speak of these truths. There is more readily available knowledge than there are students who are willing to learn of it. Everything that is needed is right here, right now, in this moment. It's as plain as the nose on your face.

In our past some people have chosen to embrace this knowledge and change our world for the better. In their own way, each of them has brought us to this moment in time. A moment in which there is a great choice. Either to lay the ideals of new thought by the waste side or carry these ideals forward in a new and exciting way, so that this movement can be felt by everyone on this planet.

You cannot do a kindness too soon, for you never know how soon it will be too late.
-Ralph Waldo Emerson

It is going to come down to those who are asked to make a choice, those who claim to be of the spirit, the higher consciousness. There is much spirituality but no humanity, maybe it’s time for those who speak of service to serve. It is time for those who say they want a peaceful world to do it! We can all do more no matter how much we think we are doing.

All labor that uplifts humanity has dignity and importance and should be undertaken with painstaking excellence.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

So what can we do?
When I started questioning where the new age teachings came from and did my research on its origins. I came across the New Thought Movement which was not only a series of publications but an organized world peace effort via the empowerment of the self. It spoke of equality and the need for a universal unity. The movement was huge and even made it to the white house in the form of Woodrow Wilson. Wilson being an active member of this ideology, even had a plan to abolish war which was quickly squashed by his political rivals.

The fore-fathers of this new thought movement were highly influential in their day. Their original message is what we see today as the watered down “New Age Medium”. Although this movement truly started thousands of years ago, the founders of The New Thought Movement were the first to organize it into a world peace effort. The original New Thought Movement was not only active but pro-active and the ideals were bold and strategic.

The great minds of Emerson, Robinson, Kidd, Wood, Hill and many others wrote about these principles in a very direct and blunt fashion. Their bravery cannot be forgotten and the world peace plan must not fizzle out due to the lack luster effort of those who were entrusted to carry it forward.

The New Thought Movement has a new resurgence thought the generation that stands before you.

If we do not do this who will?

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.
