6 Ways to feel good where you are

How often are you tempted to assume the worst? You see someone approaching and assume you must be in trouble or, hear about a forecast storm and already imagine accidents and fatalities, or being unable to get to work. Someone ill you know may be resigned to a negative outcome.  What about you?

When an event unfolds, does it suddenly evoke discomfort? Does your mind wander to thoughts that spiral out of control? If this reminds you of someone, these ideas are worth sharing. Consider six ways to feel good about your present conditions;

1) Realize choices exist. People can decide to feel happy for no particular reason just as they can choose to get upset or depressed about being where they are not. You live the life you imagine into being. To realize you exert power over your thoughts changes everything. No outcome is carved in stone.

2) Seek beyond the obvious.  The sleuth in you already knows blessings are found in not getting a particular job, being overlooked for a promotion, rejected for a training program or whatever prevents you from realizing a goal.  Not getting what your conscious mind thought you wanted brings you closer to what you are meant to be doing now. Events enable you to reframe experiences and stretch your mind. 

3) Transcend emotions. Whenever you permit emotions to control you other than love and compassion, you are being distracted by something irrelevant to the bigger picture.  That is, fear, doubt, anger, frustration and the like, are based on misunderstanding. Simply shift focus.  Deeper messages are conveyed. Choose to look inside self to find what you need.

4) Address limits of human perception.  As you evolve, you grasp human beings do not perceive everything that is happening.  Many more events are unfolding than the human mind registers and understands in human terms.  Knowing this, you begin to see it makes sense not to jump to foregone conclusions related to fragments of reality you discern.

5) Every possibility already exists.  All knowledge, all discoveries, all mindsets, all verdicts and creations, are dormant energy waiting to be summoned by the human mind.  They exist in a formless realm until someone thinks them into form.  You draw from the universal mind by raising your awareness of it. Dr John Hagelin says, "All you have to do is hold your mind on the end result and imagine it filling a need, and you call it into being.  As you ask, feel and believe, you will receive." Love is always the answer to every question.

6) Accept you get what you need.  Views of needs that stem from ego are superficial and misguided. To believe you want something may in fact overlook what kinds of life experiences you truly require.  As you evolve to view each experience as a test of resilience, resourcefulness and wisdom, you gain more far from your own silence and self-reflection.

What is the point of astral?

Astral is a concept that sometimes confuses human beings. This supersensible substance pervades all space and forms the substance of a second body that mirrors your physical one.  What seems a bit quirky is everyone has one, even if they do not detect it.  This accompanies the human body like a shadow and survives the physical body. You may ask what's the point?

1) Its your dream adventurer.  This is the part of you that explores the fantastic places of your night-time dreams. It is the extension of your immortal soul that has unlimited lives and immeasurable opportunities to use them. 

2) It retains data about past lives. This accesses thoughts, feelings and lessons learned. Its key to unexplored layers of consciousness, previous lives and detailed explanations for the emotional baggage and beliefs you resist letting go of now.

3) It passes through energy openings. This is where you may encounter light, have spiritual visions, encounter spiritual beings.  As you attune to energy, you slowly discern ways to pass through dimensions at will and with deliberate purpose.

4) It stimulates awareness. This implies increasing lucidity. How you raise awareness determines what events you notice on energy levels around you while conscious, awake and alert.

5) It gives you tools. This ability assists you to examine the nature and significance of dreams. That is, are they symbolic? Do thery pertain to events or feelings you have selectively repressed and forgotten? Do they concern people you know, mundane events or deceased persons seeking to share a story?

6) It draws attention to extra-sensory perception. This reminds you of untapped abilities in terms of heightened sensitivities. Some human beings learn to access wrinkles in time or omens and act as oracles in the physical world. Access to privileged information demands ethics and responsibility.

Nothing to lose and everything to gain

Analysis of dream submitted by S.D. in Canada.

Dream- I was walking my bicycle along winding, cobblestone streets. The ambience had an old-world feel. Dust blew off buildings of sand-colored stone.  An outer wall shrank in height to my right as I moved forward. I passed students whispering in French about on foreign topics. The glass-window rooms were above. As I searched to park my bicycle, I saw red scooters where tires were clamped with Denver boots against the right wall. I felt awkward or out-of-place there.

Predominant Emotion- caution, fear, anxiety, insecurity

Intepretation- Two-wheel vehicles raise issues of balance. You may worry about how to create tangible success in your current endeavours. An underlying issue raised is how the mind measures conditions inappropriately with outdated criteria.  The dust of sandy buildings invites a shift in mindset.

Ego would like you to forget you are grounded on a foundation of stability that is "rock-solid." That is, part of you is fully aware the self is safe and separate from your body and ego mind. You interpret and deconstruct the physical world in systematic layers based on perceived fragments of time.  

Certain modes of thinking or travelling through life only seem beyond you because they do not reflect the real you.  If some person, place or thing does not feel right, then its not yet, it is. You require every chosen experience to decode what is real and what is illusion. As you re-evaluate your pace of learning, you consciously detach from desire for position and signs of external power. As you turn inside, you begin to recognize you have nothing to lose and everything to gain.

A Denver boot is a metal device attached to a wheel of a parked car so it cannot be driven away until a fine is paid or, the owner reports to police.  Authority do this to keep a tight reign of control.  As you evolve to be more conscious and deliberate about raising awareness, you park your thoughts only in places that resonate and serve you. Self-created limits dissolve.

Why believe in supernatural intervention?

Every human being encounters phenomena unexplainable in human terms. To what these things are attibutable remains to be seen. It may be doors mysteriously opening or closing, hearing voices nobody else around you does, coming into money, recovering from serious illness or, noticing energy vibration unnoticed before. Possible occurrences are endless.

Your reasons for believing or disbelieving the senses shape your views on physical existence. Only you know what is out of the ordinary or, very real to you. You create points of reference outside of yourself and then, detect transition to turn inside. Consider 5 reasons to believe in supernatural intervention;

1) Doubt begins to dissolve. Doubt obscures beliefs and the nature of perception. Hidden motives and fear influence what you accept.  Still, lots of people hope briefly or intermittently for supernatural intervention. Consistent believing is known to diminish doubt and bring what a person's heart desires.  Getting what you want strengthens faith.  Getting what you do not want is even more powerful.

2) Awareness shifts. You notice things within the self that went unnoticed before. Energy flowing within and around your body includes subtle nuances you now choose to discern. As you realize your body and mind are always changing beneath your conscious radar, you begin to feel layers of unexplored true self inside. You begin to see through ego personality, to discern soul motives explain everything as it is meant to do.

3) Appearances diminish. To move beyond highly-limited senses of the human body is to realize physical, earthly experience does not create discomfort or redefine freedom. To move beyond what you view as natural changes you in ways you are just begining to detect.  You observe your sense of personality evolves.  Part of you begins to see beyond the past. Part of you no longer trusts memories define core identity.

4) Labels fall away. The stage comes when you no longer view yourself as linked to a particular belief, opinion, or group philosophy. You realize differences in application and interpretation have been presenting during your perceived thought and growth process. Part of you questions the meaning of your name, the point of artifical concepts with energy vibrations you have come to define as you.

5) Something remains. You may not be able to put your finger on it or describe it, but a presence is with you. Some people would suggest you only begin to sense it fully as you learn to stop thinking altogether. As you learn to pause and hold pauses in your constant stream of human thoughts, you detect something indescribable between the energy vibrations. This explains everything, even if you have no term for it.

Dissolve your illusions

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Canada.

Dream- I drive a mini-sports car to the first of five silver doors in row along a long hallway. I am to deliver mail to five women. I slip mail under the first door and it moves, as if inhaling and exhaling. I ride a bicycle to the next door. After pushing mail into a brassy slot I briefly polish, I roller skate to the next door. After leaving mail in a box, I grab a kite fly to the next door.  It is ajar. As I reach around to place the mail inside, a woman asks me what I am doing there. I pull my arm out the door. I calmly float to the last door. I pass through it carrying mail for to me knowing a physical door is illusion.

Predominant Emotions- determination, anticipation, joy, fear, surprise. 

Interpretation-You raise awareness of transitions during a journey to deeper consciousness. Driving vehicles is like taking charge and initiating self-directed learning.  You consciously take responsibility for each stage of your actions. As you make deliberate changes in your vantage point, this recognizes a move toward greater balance and objectivity.

Delivering mail suggests you are attuning to messages from your unconscious. Courage and boldness signal you are ready and willing to receive new information from your inner source. Another way to view this is you slowly reconnect parts of self that had been repressed or blocked out. To reunite fragments of self implies you move from rejection to self-acceptance.

In another way, you sharpen discernment concerning how you understand physical form. People construct ideas in their minds about what they require to live comfortable and fulfilling lives. The evolution of your thinking is empoweirng you to expand your senses and faculties. As you shift your beliefs, your experience confirms how you transcend your own illusions. You no longer need what you thought you would.

Further still, choices you make help to reveal untapped abilities your forgot you had. As you gradually discard mindsets you outgrow, it is like getting closer to who you really are. Rather than depend on external things, you grow to trust yourself more, move through obstacles and align with what matters.
