What brings you back?

To believe you know everything is not a complete illusion. Yet, to assume you currently access all this inner knowing is misleading. The ego may tell you yes, but the conscious mind echoes it needs more time to clarify and accept it has answers.

As it happens, its a misunderstanding to believe the future will free you from the past. One incarnates on Earth to work through emotions and relearn what is means to exist in the present. Your unconscious past is not useful except insofar as it takes shape at this moment. Awakening from dreams is key.

As you begin to view yourself as a multi-dimensional being, you begin to sense the plane of physical matter you know as Earth is not all there is. As you dream, you can train self to gain insight into how part of you exists on different planes at once. To be conscious of the body when perspective is above and you view closed eyes suggests something is going on beyond the physical. You know this sensation when you feel it.

Astral travelers experience at least two planes; the astral and physical. The astral extends or mirrors the physical plane. Some describe astral as a transition or porthole to access other realms. Each plane has its own rules. Physical laws do not apply in astral. This place in the mind enables you to move beyond conditioned limits and uncover untapped abilities.

Whether awake or asleep, energy beings quest for answers. Dream journeys expand experience and trigger revelations about what is possible. Awakening in the physical world enables rediscovered ideas to come into conscious awareness. All is possible with mental training and discipline.

Astral dreaming offers repeated opportunities where soul guides you to reconnect pieces of fragmented consciousness. You grow to discern where illusion ends and where pieces of truth exist. In essence, the part of you that you do not see brings the rest of you full circle. It begins and ends in mind.

How do you chart your life?

Many human beings get wrapped up in how to define their lives.  They attach to labels and create associations that further identify a kind of mental map. For some, the process is reassuring, at least at first.  For others, it is very confusing. How do you chart you life in meaningful ways?

1) Recognize that the essence of a meaningful life is not its direction, but how you live each moment the best you can.

2) Accept you have a unique tone, aura, personality and that all you do affects everyone consciously and unconsciously. 

3) Discern negative situations are fueled by powerful energetic charge, yet this is not you and never exists but in the mind.

4) Raise awareness that the only way to overcome perceived emotional pain is to be conscious and learn to see it as it is.

5) Come to see a complacent sense of identity often keeps the mind imprisoned and prevents full access to authentic power.

6) Embrace perceived imperfection as a part of life, a part of increasing self-love and unconditonal self-acceptance. 

7) Discern unwavering acceptance is the end of hope and fear, when illusions of past and future dissolve.  This is presence.

What is nature telling you?

Human beings report experiences in nature that draw attention to messages in the unconscious mind. If ever you catch a glimpse of a creature, reason always exists for it. You may ask what sudden appearances of birds or animals are telling you. Whether or not you believe in animal totems, you may begin to know something is happening, shifting and transforming.

Consider a woman took what turned out to be an extended three and a half hour hike in the wilderness. At one point, she sensed she was lost. Something within her felt disoriented. Lo and behold, a crow appeared. He flew a few trees ahead and moved his head as if to beckon her in a particular direction. His flight path and gestures suggested a curious familiarity.

This bird flew from tree to tree for more than two kilometers. The woman felt as if she was back on track. Then, the crow disappeared, only to reappear further down the path almost right in front of her. This bird vanished and reappeared again. He continued to guide during segments of the remaining trek.

After the crow vanished, on the home stretch, this woman glimpsed two foxes. Seeing each fox appear and disappear into the forest without disturbing anything in its path triggered moments of revelation.  When trust is present, silence speaks.

The woman became more aware of her actions in relation to the world. She realized she used the art of camouflage to keep cunningly silent about who and what she was. She suddenly grasped she was never lost on this path or her own, but only making free will choices to enable her to create situations she was ready to handle. She better understood who she was, who she had always been, and accepted it. 

Birds and animals have cultural symbolism. Someare linked with character, emotion ad idiomatic expressions. As you separate from the illusion of fear, nature shares secrets.

From the perspective of Native Americans and Shamans, crows are sacred spirit messengers and guardians of universal laws. Crow illustrates how energy can bend physical laws and shape-shift. They are masters of illusion and gatekeepers of ancient wisdom. They come to humans to warn of danger and to jog memories of untapped inner power and spiritual strength.

One is reminded guides take form to help humans attune to what they already know, but temporarily choose to forget. So, crows appear to enable access to inner knowing about what not to do or be. How each situation is perceived and handled is what matters. Nature is a place of orientation and awakening for those ready to shift more than misplaced programming. Cleanse the mind and misunderstandings just drop away.

4 Ways to find harmony

When something feels wrong in life as you perceive it or, when part of you feels confused, you have choices. As you believe some kind of balance is lost, you can stay as you are or, take steps to address disharmony. The nature of your awareness determines to what degree you feel life has been turned upside down and what you choose to do about it at this moment.  COnsider 4 ways to find harmony;

Start or expand a spiritual journey. Human beings regain ability to tap into a wealth of knowledge as they learn to ask the right questions. People use as little as 20% of brainpower while incarnated on Earth. A spiritual journey reintroduces people to use mind to greater capacity. Full access to the spirit mind means everything is grasped instantly. Love is viewed as the full truth of creation without fear or negativity. One slowly dissolves beliefs to return to this core state.

Realize balance is inherent in your being.  Disturbance may emerge in any dimension of experience, any area of your life.  It can seem physical, emotional, mental, energetic or other.  Whether the disturbance is subtle or more substantial, a process exists to shift attention and vibration to what is. 

Remind self what joy feels like.  Find the immeasurable experiences of love, compassion and equanimity inside.  Choose experiences that bring natural positive feelings into awareness.  The feeling you already know does not depend on wha activities you engage in at a given moment.  You are simply reactivating an innate capacity fo joy that is triggered each time you encounter a situation that supports it. 

Stop pressuring the self.  Harmony is linked to freedom.  When you do not feel forced to do something, it is easier to discern the flow of energy within and do what comes naturally. To be incarnated as a physical being is to absorb conditioning about what you are not, and to come to believe this is what you are. Any pressure you feel is experienced with your consent.

Why nurture ties to non-physical beings?

A human being sometimes believes he is living someone else's dream. How often do you instinctively pinch yourself or, tell the self a particular spirit experience cannot exist? Everything changes from the moment soul reminds the mind that healing takes all forms. What you believe about spirits influences your options. How do you nurture ties to non-physical beings?

1) Ask for blessings from enlightened beings. To know some beings are completely free of ignorance is to sense you still have lessons to learn. Connecting with the right source of energy helps nurture stronger ties to the Higher self and timeless blessings. Every energy affects healing vibrations.

2) Offer compassion. Beings weaker or less experienced than you benefit from benevolence and kindness. When beings around you are happy, they generate uplifting energy. Spirit may desire something from you that you do not know how to give. Realizing they exist is a step to making a difference.

3) Favor soul-retrieval. Many disturbances and obstacles experienced relate to interference from karmicspirit. Everyone to whom you have connected evokes karma. Realize something needs to be done, and you have capacity to do it.

4)Ask them to remove existing obstacles.  Spirit will not take on responsibilities you require to grow yet requesting assistance can always help raise your conscious awareness.  Apparent energy blocks do not always turn out to be obstacles.

5) Request support in spiritual and worldly matters. You incarnate to learn. Ask for guidance and it is given. Interpret as you will until you tap into inner knowing.

6) Recognize immeasurable gifts. Anything can be offered. The only limits are those you impose. Spirits are non-physical and satisfied with immaterial gestures. To share love, trust, and offer kinship, is all of immeasurable value. You are constantly empowering other beings in unseen worlds just as they are assisting you in ways you do not yet register.

7)Reconnect with nature. One perspective is the forces of nature are alive. That is, spirit reside in rivers, trees, vegetation, rocks, mountains fires, planets and other places you think and do not think of. Chidlren's stories are only some of the places where the spirit of enchanted nature come to life.

8) Protectors can be silent. Many ways exist to learn to protect the self from disease and negative energy. Each one is helping you unconsciously and deserves respect and devotion.
