Recall the Ant & the Chrysalis

An Ant nimbly running about in the sunshine in search of food came across a Chrysalis that was very near its time of change. The Chrysalis moved its tail, and thus attracted the attention of the Ant, who then saw for the first time that it was alive.

 "Poor, pitiable animal!" cried the Ant disdainfully. "What a sad fate is yours! While I can run hither and thither, at my pleasure, and, if I wish, ascend the tallest tree, you lie imprisoned here in your shell, with power only to move a joint or two of your scaly tail."

The Chrysalis heard all this, but did not try to make any reply. A few days after, when the Ant passed that way again, nothing but the shell remained.  Wondering what had become of its contents, he felt himself suddenly shaded and fanned by the gorgeous wings of a beautiful Butterfly.

"Behold in me," said the Butterfly, "your much-pitied friend! Boast now of your powers to run and climb as long as you can get me to listen."

So saying, the Butterfly rose in the air, and, borne along and aloft on the summer breeze, was soon lost to the sight of the Ant forever. (Thanks to Aesop for the classic fable)

8 Steps to direct the outcome of reality

Many people ponder the meaning of ordinary and non-ordinary reality. You figure out what makes sense to you. That shapes your existence. At some level, you imagine experiences before energy vibrations manifest.  How to direct outcomes of reality?

1) Adopt a certain point of view to ground ordinary reality.

2) Realize thoughts and emotions obscure ordinary reality.

3) Conceptualize the difference between fear and clarity.

3) Notice you purposely induce states of non-ordinary reality.

4) Acknowledge different beliefs shift perceptions of reality.

5) Recognize unconscious motives alter your perception.

6) Observe you judge motives based on how you sense time.   

7) Discern your sense of direction, distance, movement and limitation changes, as you reclaim your authentic power. 

8) To allw yourself to feel acute sensations invites you to make pragmatic use of and expand from non-ordinary reality.

10 points on power of choices

Some people believe that the process of learning is one of he most challenging things to do.  You may forget that you have the capacity to shift mindst, focus or distance yourself from anything.  It all comes down to choices. Review 10 points;

1) Any person or situation that appears to manipulate your fears or make you more frightened is out to control you, not empower you.  You choose to raise awareness of how you feel and why or, not. You actively facilitate self-healing or not.

2) To nurture spiritual connections is to reconnect with a sense of unconditional love.  This enables a person to recognize he is never truly abandoned, rejected, or alone.  To deny spirituality or downplay its energy and potential, is another choice.    

3) Situations that evoke discomfort are the kinds of things you exist to confront.  You can exert valiant effort to face and overcome them, assist others with their own situations without judgment or, perpetuate the apparent problems.

4) You can choose to believe you have gifts and use them or, assume you have nothing worth sharing.

5) As you grow more attuned to yourself and realize your thoughts or behaviour cause suffering in others, you learn about the power of intention.  Do you choose to harm or love?

6) Some people will say one thing and live a life that reflects completely different beliefs and values.  You choose to compare to others, be hypocritical or, live a life of integrity.

7) Human beings are fallible.  As you grow aware you can make better choices, you have the capacity to take responsibility and be accountable for previous behaviour. The alternative is the why me? mentality, and allowing yourself to feel like a victim.

8) Taking initiatives to learn is a choice just like choosing to resist change and expansion is a choice.

9) Consider your conditioned reflexes and apparent instincts. Does it feel natural to be tolerant, understanding and forgiving of others' apparent mistakes or, do you quickly reprimand, anger and hold grudges?

10) Regardless of your perceived conditions, you always have capacity to find blesssings, advantages and good things where you are. This is not the same as reminding yourself you are better off than  (or superior to) someone somewhere. Its not an ego thing. Its an invitation to think with the heart and feel withthe mind. As you awaken, be thankful to be alive, grateful for what you have, the love and everything else you are given. 

Awaken the wizard inside

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Canada.

Dream- I stood before a man in a cloak with a long white beard and mustache. In outward appearance, he reminded me of Gandalf (from Lord of the Rings) or Albus Dumbledore (from Harry Potter). He sat in lotus position. His cloak had two golden lines that joined at a point at the area of his sternum. In the air in front of him, he focused on 4 multi-dimensional shapes floated parallel and rotated: a sphere, a cube, a star and a cone. Each shape was a solid primary color, then slowly grew transparent.

Interpretation-  (This is a glimpse of a longer analysis)

The sternum draws attention to the heart. All answers you seek are found here.  That is, "the point" or centre of all perceived worlds.  Life transitions take shape as your evolving reality appears out of thin air.  The flow of ideas and feelings inside is simply energy concentrated where you focus attention. 

Conditioned humans are "square" or limited in their thoughts.  The being is unlimited.  When your attention is filtered through the human mind, you tell yourself what is not possible unless you deliberately choose to think "outside-the-box."  As the shapes shift position, this invites yo uto appreciate multiple vantage points.  Be open to expand sensory perception.  Allow intuition to flow more freely to guide you. The presence of the lotus reminds you that the essence of being is enlightened.  No need for any 'hocus pocus.'

Primary colors invite you to get back to basics.  What the mind presumes is important is often irrelevant.  Thus, it can be easy to permit the self to get distracted on situations that evoke negative emotions. Every choice is part of a process.  You hypnotize the mind or engage in trance as you create a life.  

Magicians and wizards harness inner power effectively and prompt your growing creativity.  Messages that are confiddent, encourageing and wise remind you to listen to intuition and be open to self-mastery. As you grow self-aware and begin to hone untapped skills, stages of disillusionment present. This helps you stay humble and see different sides to a given situation. Being honest and open allows you to enter the heart of stillness and commune with life itself.  Turn inward.  Unlock the wizard within.  Glimpse real freedom.

How dreams guide you to ESP

In working with a friend during stages of her own conscious awakening, I have been drawing her attention to the power of her ESP. This 'woo-woo' subject used to evoke fear and discomfort in her. She did not believe in multiple levels of consciousness. In her mind, a person either knew something or did not, and things are more or less straightforward.

During casual conversation, this woman described a period in her life where she lived with her boyfriend and had a vision for getting married. She sensed he was cheating on her yet, initially repressed thoughts this individual was not "the one." She liked the idea of the fairytale, having her dad walk her down the aisle with all the trimmings. Her awake mind had one clear agenda. Yet, something inside her did not feel right.

Much to her surprise, she had a dream. To that point, she recalled dreams intermittently and rarely shared them. During this dream experience, she went to a place where she witnessed her boyfriend being unfaithful. In vivid detail to her boyfriend, she was able to describe the place, the woman with her boyfriend (whom my friend had never seen or met) and other details that shocked him completely. What shocked her was how she moved through time and space felt so natural.

In a nutshell, this astral projection shifted her conscious awareness.  She now has more faith in her non-traditional senses and intution she cannot readily explain. This friend left her now former boyfriend. She is also coming to realize through her own experience that more goes on in a given moment than any being realizes. What she senses about other areas of her life is spot on as well. She has new faith.

As this friend now experiences cancer, she is discerning her sensitivities heightening even more. When family members expressed anxiety about her finances, she foresaw how disability compensation would come through and it did. Se no longer only 'dreams' at night.  As she opens up to the wisdom presented in her dreams, she learns to trust parts of her consciousness that she doubted in her recent perceived past. Everything is different as she moves beyond her inner judge.

This story reminds human beings they are energy. They create thought forms out of that energy.  Negative energy feeds on fear they also create. Harmful energy dissipates as you makes choices that reflect self-love and acceptance.
