Awaken to your game of life

If Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, Nanak and Zoroaster, and peers of their level, were seated around a table discussing consciousness, you might wonder what matters they would discuss or if everything would be telepathic.  You might also wonder if they play a game of cards, which face images would the cards reveal? Would personality transcend? If all is revealed, then which faces remain?

Their followers formed religions which highlight difference, control and power struggles.  You might evolve to feel such practices deviate from the original tenets that promote wisdom and humility.  Such traits raise conscious awareness beyond superficial levels of dreams.

Its said spirituality is based on three common ideas agreed on by all sages:

1) A sense of a unifying, supreme, absolute Source 

2) Humankind's mortal nature and unlimited energy as a radiation from the Source

3) The possibility of learning spiritual secrets by deconditioning and remembering what you forgot at birth.

Regardless of whether you consciously connect with some God  from within or from outside the human spirit, your consciousness has the potential to expand alongside your evolutionary process.  You may experience biological turning points or changes in psychic energy.  You always have opportunities for different levels of awakening.  What sorts of cards do you hold in your spiritual hand? Which ones will you lay down? Which cards, if any, reveal the true self and decode the ultimate dream?

Transform outdated habits

Wherever you are, you might not yet feel as though you're embracing your destiny as fully as you could be.  You may readily accept doing things you aren't passionate about.  You may devote time to activities that do nothing for you.  You may wonder when you'll finish even before you start.  Ever hear the phrase, "old habits die hard?"

When how you choose to live your life doesn't stimulate your enthusiasm, doesn't inspire you, it can seem monotonous, pointless, even down-right boring at times.  Some things may have become habits.  Ever meet a person who doens't know the meaning of the word "boring?" Do they glow with happiness or limitless energy?

You need not continue to live as you have been.  As you examine your life and become aware of certain choices that don't work for you, this is a sign its time for a different outlook.  All you need to do is re-train your mind.  It requires some effort and a little discipline.  Think of it this way: you are who you are because you think how you thought.  You are where you are in life because of choices you made in the past.  This said, life will evolve, but only when you're ready.

If some aspect of your life is getting you down, then that's where you need to focus new kinds of attention.  You can listen to motivational tapes, go to seminars, read uplifting books, write and state affirmations aloud.  All these kinds of things can positively affect your attitude. What else might you explore? How you think about yourself is projected into your life choices.  Who you spend time with and how they treat you reflects whether or not you value and respect yourself.  

Granted, its unlikely a career can be changed overnight or, a relationship will evolve differently at the snap of your fingers.  If your health has been in flux, you may not have an immediate recovery.  However, adopting the mindset that your situation can change will make all the difference.  Ask yourself these three questions:

1) What do I really want out of life?

2) Who can I contact/interact with who motivates and excites me?

3) Where will I seek wisdom and lessons from outside myself?

Invoke your internal emissary of light

Would you assume that a Divine revelation is needed to create a guiltless world?  Some people imagine what it would be like to live in such a place. Imagine how you would feel when you discover you're the conduit for something relatively obscure?

Let's say you didn't permit yourself to sense fear or darkness. What if you reverted back to when you had no sense of bad or wrong? You would not feel compelled to attack or condemn.  You could learn to dissolve negative vibes and see meaning and lessons in everything. You may forget what its like to be consciously negative.  In all likelihood, you have not foreseen the delusions you create about your world.

Prophecies begin as thoughts. So, if you decide you will live guilt-free, you can.  You can train yourself to eat food without assuming it have a negative effect on your physical body.  If you listen, food itself will reassure you. Now there's a thought!

You also can condition yourself to be indifferent when you encounter obnoxious people.  It would be like accepting people for who they are and yourself. You can learn to sense foresee constructive habits and conscious choices. This will take a very positive turn.  Simply choose to invoke your internal emissary of light.  You might ask what this is. Let's say that you're on a mission to create, to learn, to teach and this begins inside.

1) Exchange love in all you do.  The love you send into the Universe will come back to you in the form of positive visions about your existence.  You bring love to yourself when you also share it. When you forgive others, you also forgive yourself for negative vibes.

2) Devote yourself to learning and teaching.  No matter what your skills, talents, current job, state of relationship or other pre-occupations, you have something to offer others and you can always better yourself.   Conscious visions enable you to learn from what you choose to see and believe or not at different phases. Share your lessons.

3) Nurture faith in what you can't prove.  Spiritual pursuits, belief in a God, praying to Higher Forces, talking to angels, fairies or, whatever else builds your hope, are all worthwhile.  These activities boost morale, promote healing, self-confidence and thoughts about good magic.  Train yourself to think outside- the-boxes conditioned by the world you think you know and by ego.

Sense the silent language of peace

I discovered a very uplifting slideshow written and narrated by Heather Macauley.  She has written a fantastic fantasy adventure about indigo chilren called, Children of Light.  This book is based on concepts from quantum physics and ideas about how each of us perceives and creates reality yet, the realities are connected. We're reminded we sense what and how we choose. Thus, as you ask angels to assist you, they will immediately come to focus on your behalf. 

The slideshow soundtrack will encourage you to repeat your own mantra of peaceful intention.  Imagine that this is the kind of serene feeling guided by your angels.  They urge you to listen closer to your inner voice and appreciate all that you are:

10 Tidbits for Total Recall

If you have the urge to explore your dreams, then your intuition is guiding you. When you hear the term 'Total Recall,' you might imagine the sci-fi film with Arnold Schwartzenegger.  You may also reflect on useful tips to unlock messages in your dreams.  Its possible to help jog the memory and follow the thread back home. 

Whether you are pregnant and wishing to connect to your unborn child, someone who wants to use dreams as a problem-solving tool, or see dreams are key to emotional healing or guiding you in other ways, its helpful to know you can train the mind to recall dreams consistently and in detail.  You might ask where to begin?

As you gain confidence with basic recall, you grow aware of different layers dreaming and may ready learn about astral projection. Consider ten tidbits for dream recall.  Never underestimate the power of intention.

1) Set the intention to remember

• Raise awareness of your ability to recall dreams

Pay attention to your surroundings while awake. If you aren’t already recognizing how you use your senses, how can you expect to train the mind to multi-sensual awareness while asleep? Start simple: simply notice beauty and details on route to work. Do you detect smells easily? What did you feel of trees in bloom, or even the prickly weeds that grow in your lawn? Know you hold power to recall. Notice what you tend to overlook.

2) Meditate

• Ensure you're comfortable and can achieve deep states of peace.

If it appeals, check out library books, instructional CDs, online chats or local in-person meditation groups. It’s a kind of mental training that requires discipline to teach you to move between conscious and unconscious states at will. This is not a process of forcing yourself to exert effort to quiet the mind.  Its about shifting attention away from noise and choosing to focus on messages your body is already sending and also listening.

3) Create sleep rituals.

• Schedule your sleep for a consistent sleep cycle.

Deciding to regularly get a good night’s sleep promotes clearer thinking and reflection in the morning. Do what you do to unwind. Some people read. Others engage in sex. Whenever you’re ready, prepare to sleep. Lay back flat. Take a few minutes to relax all muscles. Make a habit of saying aloud, “I will remember my dream.” Tell other people of your intention to do this.  Verbalizing makes it stronger.

4) Keep paper and pen handy. 

• Make it a habit to write or draw spontaneously (without thinking)

It makes sense to record whatever you recall just as you awaken. Many begin to recall pieces of dreams as symbols or images. You need not make sense of it.  Don’t get up and brush your teeth or use the toilet before. Change in temperature (outside bed) and altered perception of surroundings tends to affect dream recall. The fewer movements and disruptions, the more you’ll gradually  remember.

5) Develop a 'pre- get up' routine.

• Make it a habit each morning to reflect on your dreams

Allow yourself to awaken without an alarm or before an alarm sounds. To be shocked awake may lead you to lose the dream thread. Keep eyes closed. Ly still. Tell yourself to permit dream images to surface. Imagine following a thread back through whatever events are still accessible within your unconscious. Repeat what you sense aloud. Record what you remember; objects, sensations, moods, feelings, colors, or anything.  Explore possible significance later.

6) Share your dream thoughts.

• resist doubting what you see, feel in dreams

Choose people with whom you would like to share your dreams. In some cultures, this is common practice among families from childhood. Speaking about dreams can make the experiences feel more real and can bring on revelations about their meanings. Other people may help shed some light, but ultimately, you’re the best person to decipher your own dreams.

7) Explore creative memory process.

• allow yourself to free draw impressions or feelings of what stands out in dreams

To decode your dreams, explore drawing, painting, sculpting, gardening, pottery, or other appealing pursuits. Dreams aren't always easily described in words.  Some people compose music or find other creative outlets to express what is flowing through them.  Be opten to inuition. Sense new inspiration and revelations.

8) Be aware of the influence of energies.

• recognize possible external influences on dreams

Every night, between 2am and 5am in every time-zone, is when ELF and microwave transmissions are the strongest.  This is when mind-control instructions are emitted by satellites, control towers, and can compress, transmit and embed programs in the human brain.  The active waking up to go to the toilet for instance, sets the unconscious program in the mind. Your daily routines may also seem to influence how/ what you dream.

9) Keep a journal.

• When ready, maintain a dream journal every morning after you wake up.

If dreams are hard to recall at first, simply journal about what is going on in your daily life. It may simply be a few lines per day. This kind of regular, conscious reflection will help you discern patterns in emotions, feelings and behaviors that begin to stand out in your dreams. If you are writing a work diary, pregnancy journal or keeping notes for other reasons, you may notice correlations between night dreams and reflections you transcribe elsewhere.  Everything is inter-connected.  Dreams are internal messages inviting you to see this more clearly.

10) Tap into the power of mantras. 

• listen to instrumental music when falling asleep and also to jog memeory of dreams

Mantras are a repeated series of words with psychic effects.  Some people listen to mantra music like O mani padme hum as a way to relax with eyes open or closed. Some people repeat mantra chants when falling asleep or when awakening into conscious awarness.  The words and stressed vowels of mantras stimulate chakras, which heighten sensitivity in astral realms.
