4 tips to eliminate what does not serve you

People dream up all kinds of ideas about who and what they really are.  That does not mean all these visions are necessarily accurate or how you identify yourself always serves you.

Ask yourself how your view of yourself relates to your dreams.  If you choose to take steps to eliminate what you are not, then you will bravely move closer to rediscover who you are; 

1) Remove the labels.  You are not your alma mater, your diplomas, your job, your name, your address, your car, your gadgets, your entourage or any external thing you may mistakenly believe defines you.  This is just window-dressing.

2) Step outside your body.  Physical appearances are often deceiving.  Whatever your build, your hair color, your ethnicity, your muscleclature, your gender, your number of limbs and digits, all of this is separate from what abides underneath.

3) Detach from your dependence on the mind.  What used to seem palpable does not exist as you may assume.  The pronouns you use to describe yourself add depth to existence that is otherwise hollow and empty.  If your consciousness is mistaken about what appears to it, then you are brought to confront your predispositions and value judgments.

4) Identify additional misconceptions.  Meditation and other exercises in mental discipline will enable you to counteract and dissolve other ideas about your existence.  As you explore your exaggerated sense of self, you will further dismantle the shaky foundation.  You will discern the difference between your sense of self and conditioned sense of existence through your experience.  It can only be that way.

6 Ways telepathy can help you

People will say it seems difficult to get a grip on telepathy as a phenomenon. You may ask yourself if it is real. If you decide its possible, then how do you do it and how can it help you?

Different exercises exist and can be explored to train your mind. The key starting point is belief in abilities you may not fully understand. Scepticism is not helpful. As you accept you are notmeant to grasp a phenomenon based on your current human points of reference, you can still choose to evolve to learn. People who consciously walk in the darkconfront fear.

When the pupil is ready, teachers appear. Where there is a will, a way presents itself, providing the core motivation is not ego. It is each person's responsibility to learn to remove their veils of illusion. Consider these five ways telepathy can help you;

1) Expand your frame of reference. Even right at this moment, you are exploring telepathy from inside the dual frame of reference. That is, you are a sender and receiver of information. You send a loving smile, 'the evil eye' or a flirtateous glance and this allconveys messages. You are not always consciously aware of what you are sending and receiving or, details of all destinations of your manyenergy vibrations. Nonetheless, you engage in telepathy whenever you bypass the use of language. Practice is slowly altering your self-perception.How youview yourselfis changing.

3) Develop energy reading. As you transfer thoughts using means other than the traditional five senses, you aredetecting andre-interpreting energy. When you anticipate who is calling before you answer the phone, when you accurately discern your needs before someone tells you,when you gradually expect the unexpected, then you arereadingenergy fluctuations. You are learning to translatewhat you intuit. You are attuning to energy differently, nurturing faith in your dormant faculties.

3) Sharpen deliberate intent. Rather than assume telepathy may be some curious, latent ability of few unique individuals, you can grow to realize that telepathy is another skill thatmay bedeveloped through focused training. The nature of deliberate intent enables a person to find ways to learn techniques and gradually develop skills to complement evolving awareness and internal mental capacities. For example, people who bend spoons with the mind consciously harness mindpower and energy vibration for purpose. To decide you can do something and to learn to focus your energy will expand your potential.

4) Shift applications of traditional senses. Human beings are conditioned that their five senses have specific applications. For example, you are taught to see color, smell aromas, taste flavours, touch sensations, and hear sound. This said,you can evolve to see sound with senses other than hearing. What would you say if you evolved to taste light? People sense auras with different faculties.Beliefslimit what youexperience.How you think canstill be greatly expanded.

5) Better understand fellow human beings. People exist who seem to function differently from many others. As you develop the patience to learn to communicate differently yourself, you will gain empathy and a new sense of inter-connectedness with all humanity. Youwill look at a person and convey messages more readily without words. In fact, you do this already without realizing it.

6) Move beyond fear.  In fiction, telepathy is often linked with conflict between good and evil.  You may have feared the notion of possessing mind control because it may be used to harm others or permit others to harm you.  The idea of developing ability to "push" thoughts, feelings, or hallucinatory visions into the mind of another person, to cause pain in others at will, paralysis, or unconsciousness, alter or erase memories, are all reasons why people do not explore the truth. If you permit fear to control you, then you do not permit your mind to dissolve illusion and experience the power of love.

5 Ways to gain new insight into the real you

People who believe they know themselves may be surprised to learn it is possible to gain more and more clarity. Initial insights are not the most profound or life-changing.

To evolve to recognize the nature of your own learning curve is to prepare yourself to completely transform your perception. You are in process of learning totrain your mind differently, to create new thresholds or advanced levels of understanding. Consider five ways to gain insight into the real you;

1)Experience something to sense what it is. You grow to sense the difference between things through opening yourself to them. What you anticipate about each experience is not how it is. You cannot identify an apple by solely discerning its not an orange. Youapply your sensesto focus the mind and keep it focused. It is necessary to create new points of reference.

2)Take the time todiscover solitude. To choose to be alone in quiet enables you to experience a sense of emptiness. This kind of atmosphere invites reflection about different levels of your ownignorance and how you can act to change.

3)Shake the foundation of your beliefs. How people and things appear to your mind is often automatically accepted as truth. As you begin to discern your values and conditioning, you begin to grasp why you cling to certain assumptions. You peel through layers of your reasoning as you use and reuse it.

4)Suppress counter-productive emotions. Your dreams exist and so do you. Negative thoughts and feelings can destabilize your focus and self-confidence.  You choose how to perceive yourself and how your mind functions.  You decide what serves you and what does not.  You have the power to dissolve or remove limits you create to block insight.

5)Revise your own misconceptions. As you grow more and more discerning, you begin to realize the complex layers of misundersanding that have come to frame your life. Your conditioned views about what you had assumed you can or cannot do, what you had denied and rejected, none of these beliefs are realities although so forcefully expressed by the mind. You can detach from lies and self-created illusion.

Choose to believe that you can

Whatever stage you perceive to be in at this moment, you are playing a waiting game. You may be waiting for a dream to become clearer, or wondering about a lack of desirable results.

Your brain has been telling you to move forward, but doubt and fear keep getting in the way. Why not choose to believe that you can do whatever drives you? What would this require?

1)Stop doing what you have always done. Your day-to-day movements and activities have gotten you to where you are.  Yet your current mindset also keeps you there.  As you recognize how you think and words you use do not serve you, you realize you must alter behaviour to get different results. 

2) See through the naysayers. When people question your plans, this is their fear and your fear talking.  Your choices would not be their choices. That is a given. They are not you. Success is a state of mind that you create. If you do not choose to believe in yourself, then why would anyone else?

3) Observe your present state of awareness.  Part of you assumes things could be different or will get better. Part of you chooses to believe you have to be where you are. The real issue is how you perceive where you are, and how you grow to transform how and what you see.

4) Realize you are not rubbing your eyes in disbelief.  When you are willing and consciously able to own your dream, you will begin to realize everything about your life is your own creation.  This tells you that you are responsible for what is happening.  You are discerning the sensation of freedom, that what you live is a life you create.  The possibilities are endless.

What if your relatives lived forever?

Regardless of how well you know your family or how much time you spend together, part of you wonders what life would be like if your relatives lived forever.  How would this reframe your joys, sorrows and burdens? Would you reunite someday?

I went to highschool with a girl who had three adorable toddlers when she suddenly died of complications from breast cancer.  She was only thirty-one.  Her spirit remains in the hearts of people who knew her. Echoes of her laughter live on.  Her children now adamantly believe they contact her, and do.

A friend of mine looked after his great-aunt until she died at one hundred and two. He tended to her house and garden, visited her regularly and assisted when she voluntarily went into a nursing home. While she was there, he arranged to have her bills paid, and organized her life the best he could.  She lived in aged care less than two years before she left this world. Then, her nephew managed the probate, taxes and more. She rests in view of a bay, gladly reunited with her husband.

I know a man who did not get along with his father in life.  Despite this, he keeps the deceased father's ashes in a soup tureen under his bed.  The living man says he does not believe in ghosts and talk of an afterlife makes him edgy.  Still, he cannot bring himself to release memories of life with this man.

As it happens, I have visited quite a few cemeteries. It may surprise you to discover what happens to plots and crypts that are rented by the year and at times, forgotten.  When a family dies off or becomes disinterested, cemeteries re-sell plots. Imagine you may have unexpected company oneday.  

As our parents get older, their health issues arise to remind us of fallibility and mortality of being human. Our physical abilities change.  Our faculties sharpen or weaken.  Parents do not expect to outlive their children.  Yet, some do. Children do not always find it convenient or desirable to stop their lives, give up independence and devote themselves to parent care.  Other children do not think twice about reorganzing their lives or relocating to do the best they can to help when needed. You do what makes sense to you and make your own choices.

How many people do you know who have moved back in with parents or parents have moved back in with them? I know some adult children who have never left home. They are into their forties.  Their lives revolve around parents they feel need them.

If your relatives lived forever in the physical world, that is, the ones you like and the one you do not, they would each continue to teach you things.  Your responsibilities would expand, but of course, that would not imply you would accept them. You can choose to believe in reincarnation, immortality or none of the above, but the connections you forge with people live forever in your heart. Love is everlasting.
