Cherish every moment

Late in 2007, I was contacted via email by a school friend of my sister's.  He was looking to get in touch with her again.  Funny thing was, I had attended elementary school with his sister.  She and I had been great friends.  The email from this guy I had not heard from in years prompted me to reconnect with my own school friend after twenty-six years. 

Sharing a picnic lunch in a park with her was like going back in time.  We rekindled our friendship and have been in touch since even though we live in different cities.  Such a relationship reminds me how priceless people are in our lives.  You just never know how long you have or how meaningful a particular relationship may turn out to be. 

This girlfriend generously provided much of my wedding photography.  She was especially on my mind today as I received a startling email from her.  Two days ago, her brother was tragically killed in an accident near his work in a foreign country.  He was thirty-two.

I send out positive energy and celebrate the life of this young man. He reconnected me with his sister and will always have a special place in my heart.  He devoted himself to meaningful causes, including amateur sports.  We may have no words to describe the world of the spirit or soulful connections that endure. Every relationship has a purpose.

Get your feet back on the ground

Analysis of dream submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia.

Dream- From a distance, I watched a person climb horizontally around a steep mountain. As my view focused, I saw I was the climber.  As I came to a stump, dangling roots were crumbling from termites.  I reached to grasp another clump of rock then, I no longer felt the need to climb. The complete perspective rotated. I suddenly stood on firm ground. 

Predominant Emotions- bewilderment, anticipation, optimism and self-acceptance.

Interpretation- Growth is perpetual.  A stump is like a memory of who you thought you were.  To feel "up a stump" suggests you may be perplexed about some of your recent experiences.  Rest assured, it is all part of a meaningful process. To reminisce about remnants of who you were can bring you closer to raising awareness about who you are.

Termites are industrious creatures who like warmth and solid forms of sustenance.  You can learn to discern your own level of enthusiasm when you sink your teeth into something.  Does part of you feel like you have bitten off more than you can chew? More of what you need is still available.  Something in you understands or you would not stop.

You sense what it takes to build a firm foundation. If you evolve to be flexible and adapt well to periodic changes,  then your relationships with endure and no significant situation will 'leave you hanging.' Accept who you are you will discover how grounded you truly are.

How does higher awareness serve you?

You may have heard about higher awareness, but remain unsure about how this would serve you. What if you discovered that you have the capacity to grasp useful inner connections, to recall faculties you had forgotten? Would it please you to learn that your ordinary observations are preparing you to strengthen supersensible observations?

Consider your body imagines things.  The sentient soul converts them into sensations.  You retain details in memory for future reference, when you are ready and willing to retrieve them.  Why else would you retain knowledge if not to use it at some later stage when part of you recovers it?  Give yourself up to perception.  See what happens.

Before you can decide whether how you think and feel is in your interest, you must first evolve to define what this means.  You discern what makes sense, what serves you and if so, how it effects everyone and everything around you.  Each action you undertake leads to another action.  The series helps to define your movement, but not who you are.

When is appropriate to move on?

At a given moment, living the best you can means you learn to read the energy vibrations inside and around you. You benefit from raising awareness of what is good for you or not. What feels right? When is it time to move on? What would this dream mean to you?

You may sense reason to change your work environment or, to make a geographic move. Something may urge you to distance from relationships that are no longer working. You may feel prompted to explore a totally new life path. Instincts tell you all you need to know, when you are willing to listen.

For instance, if you have been a renter and disagreed with a landlord about the state of repair of a rental property, this may be a sign to move on. If your rent increases to an undesirable level or, utility costs escalate because of landlord negligence of the property, then energy vibrations are sending signals. Even if you have grounds to initiate legal proceedings, this may incur you more costs. Reimbursement is not guaranteed. Anger is dark emotion with low energy. It does not serve you.

Perhaps you are not getting along with your boss or your co-workers. You just do not see eye-to-eye. This may in fact, have been the case for quite some time. You did not choose to see it. Why do you resist your evolution? Is staying where you are a comfortable habit? Confrontation may not be the best option. This may be a sign to find a more nourishing job or, even to start your own business.

The state of your health or, the health of a loved one also abruptly changes your sense of priorities. Recall a film like Beaches, or situations in your own family. Serious illness will lead you to change the nature and place of your work to be closer to people you cherish. You may view it as a sign to retire, to change your lifestyle, schedule or, simply decide to live dreams you had put off until the future.

If you believe human beings never move anywhere physically, then you believe you add meaning to a void every moment. You are a creator of consciousness. Moving on would then be an evolving perception of what matters. Anytime, you may turn away from how you lived in the past so that you refocus on the present. You know it is time to move on from how you were when you are not completely at peace inside. Your feelings, reactions, physiology, energy vibrations, all guide you.

Why do you feel like a radio?

You are constantly receiving information in forms of energy. At this stage, you do not consciously register all messages received or discern where all data comes from. You do not realize the nature of all vibrations you transmit. This is not necessary. You become aware on a need-to-know basis.

In reality, you use selective senses to transmit and receive energy. As you raise your awareness of how you think and feel, you begin to realize how complex a being you truly are. The field of your energy alone affects how you interact with others, as well as how your physical body functions.

Consider how you catch a glimpse of something in passing or hear a sound at a distance. In neither case do you use all five commonly-used senses to register one thing, yet you trust something is real. Senses you use regularly are not always aligned or, attuned to register the same energy vibration or frequency. You may use a few senses to reinforce conscious recognition, but you use many senses and do not register everything that is happening exactly when it does. You break things up in time.

In addition, at this moment, you have senses that register energy flow in ways you are unaware of. You acknowledge or ignore what you choose. You heal parts of yourself or not, as you choose. At any given moment, you have different motives and intentions for taking action or not. Your unconscious and deeper consciousness, register more energy vibrations than you currently realize.

Take, for example, when another person is speaking with you. Why do you not always understand what is being asked? You may not register their underlying motive or intention. How many times have you assumed you understood what you were asked to do and learned later that you assumed something other than the intention of the person who asked you? Misunderstanding happens.

What about when you hear you are being called for a meal. Yet, you continue to play or work and ignore the message? In this case, you consciously register and disregard in favour of other priorities.

If you evolve to believe all energy simply evolves and changes, then you may also believe human beings are energy that transforms, even when they leave the physical world. If energy forms are communicating with you on a different frequency, then you will not register or acknowledge it.

Consider yourself as a kind of radio with different channels. You tune in and tune out to selective channels to listen to what appeals. If you have ever moved a radio dial, then you realize what it is like to suddenly find channels you had not heard. They existed even when you did not notice them.

Attuning to energy vibration is similar. Your thoughts and feelings enable you to move in and out of range. You can attune to different channels and receive messages that have been transmitted and retransmitted until you chose to hear. You can connect to what has always been, but what you have not been consciously ready or willing to register. Messages are constantly coming your way.
