Why haven't you seen them yet?

Since angels seem to keep quiet and hidden, you may wonder why it is you haven't sensed them.  You may not yet realize the frequency of your thoughts, the nature of your emotions, and level of judgment can obscure or expand your senses beyond your wildest dreams.  Ask yourself a few questions to help guide your journey:   

1) Why do you wish to see angels?  If you seek heavenly proof to bolster your faith in yourself or other things, then you need to understand what you experience is determined by your own belief systems, confidence and sceptism.  You see and feel based on external conditioning as well as your own core ideas from within.   

2) What do you fear?  If you imagine angels might be scary or, you don't think you've earned it, think again.  Whatever you encounter, nothing can destroy you.  At this moment, regardless of a physical body, you are energy.  If you fear this life is all there is, well, what if you shifted that view? To move beyond fear is to learn to raise your vibration and begin to sense things you had missed before.  Angels transcend human views of time and space.  They work divine magic in their own ways.

3) Do you really know what you're looking for?  You store up knowledge and experience that feeds your expectations.  Your understanding of angels and how they present themselves could be limited to popular culture or what you've been told.  Consider listening to yourself.  If angels are examples of unconditional love, they will be energy sources that are comforting and reassuring.  Perhaps its time to build on what you think you already know.  Learn to look beyond your preconceived notions. 

7 Sacred Secrets to Manifesting

The Kabalion is an ancient text that offers methods and guidance to keep your thoughts, your moods, health and relationships at a consistently high level. Doreen Virtue has explored these 7 teachings in her recent book called Divine Magic.

"Hermetic" teachings arose in secret during periods in history when challenging authority meant death.  Initially passed verbally from master to pupil, your insight into these concepts will impact your creative power and how you evolve to live:

1) Mentalism. "All is in the Mind." This pinpoints how your authentic core (Higher self) is a direct extension and creation of the Divine Mind. The answers lie within you because you're linked to all that is. You may view this as a spiritual perspective.

2) Correspondence. You may have heard Herme's phrase, "As above, so below; as below, so above." This refers to the laws which govern physical, mental and spiritual planes. To recognize their inter-connectedness is to elevate your consciousness and experience to higher planes. Remind yourself 'its all good,' all of life as you see it.

3) Vibration. Everything is energy and moves at its own speed, frequency and vibration. The difference between what you sense and don't experience is that what you think about is attracted to your plane of vibration, and what you don't think about remains on other planes. Recognize you influence all rates of vibration.

4) Polarity. Every experience or choice has its opposites which you can choose to see, think about or ignore. Imagine each situation in your life vibrates at different levels of the same pole or gauge. Hermetists encourage you to rethink unwanted experiences into more desirable ones by choosing to see the blessings which changes your vibration to the highest end of your gauge.  Choose to see the positive side.

5) Rhythm. All things rise and fall. This can be understood as a pendulum swing that manifests in everything. Rhythms compensate in all directions. You may begin to grasp that every thought and feeling generates an equal and opposite reaction. By mastering or taking control of the mind to focus on sources of joy, you'll become immune to downturns and sense new kinds of benefits in impermanence. 

6) Cause & Effect. Every cause has its effect. There is no coincidence or accident. You can be carried along by the decisions and behaviors of others or, you can consciously focus your mind and exert greater influence on your healings and manifestations.  You will bring more of what you focus on and can also change.

7) Gender. This refers to masculine and feminine energies. Female energy is magnetic and attracting. Male energy is electric and creating. Banishing (releasing) and attracting energies can lead to balance. To manifest, you must attract or create it. A consistent, balanced flow of giving and receiving recognizes benefits.

3 Tips to reframe wealth creation

As people seek to create wealth, one of the most popular questions relates to money. Yet, what is this really? Are you aware of the real reasons why you think you want it? Who influences these ideas? How do you manifest wealth on your terms?

Money is a human invention, a means of exchange. While you may think having more money will eliminate debt and other troubles, your sense of wealth is affected by the intentions or emotions behind them. You may desire more disposable cash, but if whatever you have filters through your fingers, you would benefit from examining your deeper associations with money.  Reframe your wealth creation:

1) Discern the values you associate with money. What is happiness to you? Which objects, qualities, service or, sense of direction do you value? Your universe is the creation of your finite mind. You differentiate value based on feelings and mental states. What makes you feel good is desirable. Prosperity, abundance and pleasure all have motivations. Your associations and visualisations are the crux of it all.

2) Be honest about what you want money to do for you. When you refer to money, what is it you really think about or desire to acquire? Physical material doesn't buy true intimacy, friends, character, inner peace, a clear conscience or, immortality. Raising awareness of any misplaced agendas or misconceptions will enable you to remove blocks from the wealth you want and hope to generate in this life now.

3) Recognize ownership has only temporal convenience. Mental creations don't use or depend on physical materials. Detach from associating with your "me" (ego) and instead, choose to associate with your "I" (inner observer). Begin to understand that stability and self-worth aren't grounded in ownership, which itself doesn't last. It is increased experiences, reflection and self-awareness that lead to manifesting wealth in all forms. Escape the pains and fears of the lower plains by vibrating on a higher plane. Fluctuations in emotion lead to fluctuating money flow.

4 Discoveries you can make during astral

Robert Monroe's many astral journies helped him uncover unexpected abilities that are within your reach in your own consciousness.  During astral, his spirit remained connected to his physical body by an etheral cord while he proceeded to explore beyond the time-space continuum. His self-directed learning reveals some basic truths about meaning and purpose in life and beyond familiar layers of existence:

1) You have several knowns. Experience is the greatest teacher. As you get-to-know yourself in astral, you will gain insight into your non-physical side. You have a fear layer, an emotional layer and barriers you create based on conditioned Earthly belief systems that you must learn to grasp and erode. As you work through them, you realize the true you is an "observer" that watches reactions and operates a fear-dissolving process. Astral empowers you correct your own misunderstandings.

2) You do not need a physical body to exist and be. Learn to recognize you are more than a physical body. This offers instant perspective to any pleasure or pain. You can end your astral experience whenever you choose.  You can turn inward and discover an entirely new spectrum of being and doing.  While you are still connected to a physical world, you can explore the far reaches of infinity with your mind.

3) You can liberate yourself from any and all Earth-life-generated beliefs. Tap into your supermemory and past lives. Discerning thought patterns in present-day activity and connecting them with flashbacks will assist you to overcome anxiety, frustration, fear or whatever holds you back. The left brain becomes entrenched in the physical world and resists anything that may interfere with this process. Astral enables you to sense the timeless, core self that is unaffected by Earth's system.

4) You can heighten awareness and detect signals from spirits who have passed. Spirits that have separated from their physical bodies may send out signals that draw you nearer to them.  Some of them may be your own former incarnations.  As you find confused entities, you may choose help them move upward toward the light. Their vibrations will differ from your own and they will disappear just as you will when the time is right. As you return to the physical, they will proceed their way.

Floating somewhere with a hitch

Analysis of the week on dream submitted by M.P. of Melbourne, Australia.

Dream:  It was the freakiest thing.  I floated upward to have a perspective of my physical body. I felt distinct and separate from it.  I tried looking away and floating higher, but I struggled.  I still felt tightly connected and couldn't get away.  I did want to, but in my mind, I was still quite attached.   I noticed my fingers stretched like they were elastic. Was I some superhero? These fingers retracted with a snap!

Predominant emotions:  Determined, control, self-conscious, hesitant, enchanted.

Interpretation: Some new experience in waking life heightens your sense of joy and freedom.  Yet, your self-imposed limitations convince you that you aren't totally "free." Perhaps you feel a bit like a kite or a balloon on a tether?  What or who is it that really 'weighs you down?' Isn't it you? You're far more flexible than you realize. 

This dream may draw attention to your own fear-producing unknowns. Learning how to control and understand your emotions enables you to clarify reasons for some of your beliefs.  Popular labels may influence you to ignore how you truly feel about a situation.  Do you struggle to listen to yourself or to signs offered by your physical senses in light of the status quo? You clearly desire to move beyond this obstacle.

If you believe in the out-of-body (OBE) or 'lucid' dreaming, then you may also acknowledge the other end of your etheral cord is your physical body.  OBE is a state of consciousness where part of you retains a sense of connection to the form of your familliar physical body.  In an out-of-body state, you are no longer confined by time-space.  You begin to sense you're in it, but not part of it.  You become increasingly aware that you shape your own perception and conscious awareness in waking life.
