Telepathic brainwaves jumping your way

When you think of telepathy, you may think of science fiction scenarios like those of Star Trek or the film called The Matrix. Your mind might wander to the unusual life experience of psychic intuitives, energy healers, clairvoyants and indigo children. You may think about people who claim such abilities or even demonstrate clear aptitudes. What would you do with them? Would you transcend your ego?

If you seek to develop telepathic skills, or discover you have some ESP already, what kinds of things would you do with it? Would you seek to help others? Sure, you could read Help Yourself with ESP (Revised Prentice-Hall, 1999) by Al Manning or other books you could find on the subject. Yet, shouldn't intuition be your guide?

Dean Radin has a great new book called Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in Quantum Reality (Paraview Pocket, 2006). Even New Age physician and writer Deepak Chopra thinks this book reminds us how parapsychology is becoming more of a mainstream science. Many people believe that when scientists pick up on a topic and devote increasing time, energy and finances to research it, then the general public might perceive it with more credibility. What is your view?

Another book of note is The Divine Matrix: bridging time, space miracles and belief by Gregg Braden (Hay House, 2006). It examines how from 1993 -2000, a series of earth-shattering experiments offers dramatic evidence of a web of energy that connects everything in our lives and our world. What if it this Divine Matrix determines whether and if so, how we heal our bodies, discern success in work, create relationships, other pursuits, and nurture inner and/or world peace?

New evidence reveals we each hold the power to speak directly with the mind to the force that links creation. This jumps beyond ideas compiled in Rhonda Byrne's The Secret. Would you like to tap into it? What would it mean to discover you could create more joy, heal suffering, and bring peace lives around you? Foresee it. How might you live if you knew how to focus this energy every moment of every day? How would that redefine meaning for you? even reframe your view of career?

Charged up with ventriliquism fever?

During my childhood, I recall reading ads on bilboards and in the backs of comic books about ventriliquism courses.  Yet, 'the mail order route' didn't strike me as the most effective way to go.   It was one skill I wished to learn, but I didn't know anyone who did this or how to about it.  Now, if you ask just anyone for advice on this subject, he or she may simply say, "learn to stop moving your lips."  Talk with your mind? Become an entertaining puppeteer? Would other options exist?

Many of us are fascinated with the idea of ventriloquism, but how many seek to develop the skill?Where do you go and who do you ask? People become quite excited when they realize that it is possible for them to do this almost magical illusion.  You can too, if you really want to do this.  You can do anything yet set your mind to do. 

Sure, if you explore your local library or bookstore, you may find books like "Ventriliquism for Dummies" and Instructional DVDs. Don't wrongfully believe its a deviant art.  If you're charged up with ventriliquist fever, you might also check out "Otto and George" on David Letterman stored on YouTube.  Be warned, Otto is often considered as one of the most controversial ventriliquists:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlRikiFs5QE /p>

If this performance isn't 'your thing,' look up names like Jay Johnson, 'Opie & Anthony' and Jim Norton on YouTube.  You may suddenly be inspired to develop a new personal talent and take bars and clubs by storm! Consider the endless possibilities for your creative video series, comedy act or travelling show.

Attain liberation

In the Crest-Jewel of Wisdom by Shankara, to know the nature of your Soul is to experience, not simply dream of, pure bliss. Perception, as you understand it, and the urge to compare, wouldn’t exist. You would forget. You would unlearn everything you have been conditioned to believe. You would see anew and be self-satisfied.

To value silence and be void of desire are what truly cause the greatest happiness. You wouldn't think about the past or speculate on the future. You would be indifferent to present. Time and space would have no meaning. How many people have you met who live quietly as if spectators, free from all desire and change?

William Wordsworth viewed Soul and a sense of home as points of self-realization. What does this passage from his poem, "Intimations of Immortality" mean to you?

Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting;
The Soul that rises with us, our life star,
Hath had elsewhere, its setting,
And cometh from afar.
And not in utter nakedness,
But trailing clouds of glory do we come
From God, who is our home.

Retrieve soul memory

One approach to goal-setting is to consider it a process that can enable you to remember what you forgot.  Whenever you learn something, you focus and other ideas fade into the background.  Some people believe each person is born with a soul that has a silent understanding of the world. Yet, most grow up to forget and evolve away from love, compassion and the original life views. 

You may describe the state of 'soul memory' as thinking differently during different life phases. We do so believing in our passing choices and perceived priorities.  Yet, lessons are always there for us to learn.  The question is, which ones do you notice?  How will you take steps to get something out of each one? Or, will you even bother?

1) Do you hold narrow views? People around you may say you appear rigid or dogmatic.  Are you the type who believes you're always right?  If you know anyone like this and you're on the receiving end, are you judgmental and close-minded about their behavior? Look in the mirror. Ask yourself how you feed off of each other's energy.  You may wish to rethink reactions.  How you interact has underlying goals. 

2) Does your mind control your feelings?  Certain people are so very 'results-oriented' that they miss the beauty and opportunities in front of them.  They may convince themselves work is more important than relationships or other life experiences.  If you know anyone like this, consider how your own choices may purposely go in the opposite direction or somewhere in between. Discern how you react or not.  Each of us has obvious and not-so-obvious reasons for our choices.

3) Are you even a tad bit insensitive?  To lack insight or experience may be interpreted by others as insensitivity or a lack of understanding.  Ignorance is not bad unless you lable it as such.  Whatever your belief system, you are now on a journey of self-discovery. Innate goals involve learning.  Your conscious and unconsscious choices determine the "how," "with whom" and "why."

Part the clouds & move ahead

Now here's a quirky thought: what if your perceived success today not only grows from what you choose to learn and apply from earlier experiences in this life.  What if your stumbling blocks to greater fullfillment and happiness relate to a past life memory?  Insight into past life regression has helped people break undesirable patterns of behavior.  How might you empower yourself to move forward now? Would you be willing to take steps to learn, listen and read yourself differently?

Consider a man who was having trouble with his rebellious son.  The boy was bullying other children at school and refused to obey authority.  The man had a difficult time forcing his son to conform.  He was at his wit's end.  Yet, he also only saw in others what he desired to see.  He was also blind to some of his own destructive patterns.

The day came when he had the urge to investigate his own view about one of his past lives.  He assumed he had a certain role and status in history and he sought a specialist to have his view confirmed.  To his surprise, he learned his assumption was slightly inaccurate.  His attention was also drawn to some unresolved issues from that past life that were repeating in himself and his son in this one. He decide certain of his habits required attention.  He realized he was repeating negative and hurtful patterns.  His son was like a mirror who had been conditioned.

That glimpse of past life regression prompted this man to seek counselling and psychotherapy.  Gaining insight into one of his past lives empowered him to acknowledge and address negative patterns within himself. By his own initiative, he took steps to unlearn and reteach himself new habits which transferred into his proferssional and family life.  He redefined success from inside.  He changed his career and found new ways to serve others. He parted his clouds and moved ahead.

This story teaches that each of us is in the process of learning soul lessons.  We will only change ourselves and our circumstances when we're ready to progress.  This will happen at our own pace.  Every choice we make, every person we meet, will offer useful things if we decide to see.  Remind yourself you experience everything for a reason.  If you decide to access a past life, it makes sense to gain insight into how to heal a neative pattern in your current life.  Such an experience doesn't have to hold you back.  It can propel you forward. How will you see success next?
