What is this all about?

Remember the occasion when you began to ask what all this is about? You had directions to get you to a particular place, yet obstacles kept presenting themselves as if to keep you away.  You appeared to be doing fine, but on the inside, you were imploding!

It was dark.  You misread your directions, turned left instead fo right, drove to where you had almost no gas, and then pulled over.  Part of you cried out, "am I meant to get there?"  You might have wished for help from a stranger or even for divine intervention.  You might have shaken your head in disbelief.  What is it about  your impatience?

The fear based beliefs that you creat in your mind are the cause of all your hardship.  They are the fundamental reason why you assume you will not arrive at a destination, why you secretly think you are not worthy or, do not deserve all you have or will get. 

Discomfort arises to shake up your peace of mind precisely because learning to deal with uncertainty is what you life is about.  You subconsciously live for this.  It is about building on what you think you know, rethinking love and compassion, and recreating the world in which you choose to live.  You are what this is about.  After all, this is your life.

How do you know when the message is for you?

Every moment of every day, you are recieving messages.  They come from within and around you. They take different forms. Yet, you are not always receptive.  You do not always choose to acknowledge the messages or take them on-board. 

Consider the sorts of people you meet and the kind of conditions that define your life.  Situations repeat.  You will find yourself in conflict with different people for the same reasons which you do not notice.  Does this imply you are unwilling or not ready to see things for what they are? History repeats itself to teach you meaningful things.

It is not a question of whether a message is for you.  Rather, it is a question of whether you are willing to receive and decode each one.  You have the power and ability to do so. It will happen at your pace.  What kinds of messages would you desire to receive? Did you know that is coming your way already?  All you have to do is accept it with gratitude.

Reconcile your apparent paradoxes

Analysis of the week submitted by Anonymous in Melbourne, Australia.

Dreams- I was seated and reading on a train car that was not initially connected or moving on the same level or direction to train cars with people.  I could see a group of young rowdy people standing up between sit-down compartments in a red train car.  I could see family members and neighbours in another car.  They were dressed for a wedding.  The train sped through a tunnel and then floated on top of water toward a home on the side of the coastal hill.  The wedding guests saw a white outdoor tent and a decorated area.  A few got out to investigate.  Turned out, this was not the venue for the right wedding.  The train vanished and I was in front of a wise woman. She sat in front of rows of topaz cryatal buddhas and pink quartz torsos of angels with wings, among other healing crystals.  I chose an angel to offer as a  gift to a friend in need.

Predominant Emotions- detachment, curiosity, love, inquisitiveness, wonder, compassion.

Interpretation- All paradoxes, polarities and rhythms may be reconciled. You are always learning, and not only in books!  Everyone is not on the same plane as you are.  That is, the focus of their thoughts and energy vibrations will resonate at their chosen levels. 

Intense thoughts and feelings may get out of control.  You may refuse to participate in the backward swings of polarity around you.  You visualize what makes sense in unfolding events, and decide if you will create or perpetuating these environments.  Nothing happens contrary to your higher will.  It always prevails against the lower.   You transmute undesirable situations into desirable situations without noticeable strain.

Moving on a train is like life's journey.  Regardless of intermittent doubt, rest assured, you are on the right track and headed in the right direction.  Whenever you do not conform or agree with everyone, this does not mean your intention and practices are misplaced.   Nurture faith in your commitment.  The physical, mental and spiritual planes reveal how your energy resonates and why.  The sleuth in you feels what is right.

You are being encouraged to use creative principals.  Forces around you do this with a great deal of love.  You may not realize the strength of sources of support or where and how they will help you receive the messages you need in a given moment.

What about another perspective?

People dream night and day and assume visions are inevitable.  Yet, what they believe is not always truth.   Every moment you can choose to transform your understanding.

For instance, death is a topic everyone knows about, but few people feel comfortable discussing it.  How many people do you know who have pre-planned funerals and pre-written obituaries? You may sense impending doom, emptiness, or another reason to create fear and avoid the topic. What if you choose to nurture another perspective?

I used to sing in a choir with women much older than I. When it came to lyrics, they sometimes went so far as to omit verses that mentioned graveyards or references to 'passing on'.  They preferred not to face the topic, thinking that would expedite what they did not want.  They were superstitious as mentioning 'funeral' was almost taboo.

If you know anyone diagnosed with an illness, then you recognize how they react to what they hear.  Some people accept the verdict as carved in stone.  They resolve to die and wait for the grim reaper to arrive at a doorstep.  Other people believe a diagnosis and prognosis are opinions.  These people choose to positively perceive all conditions.  Self-condeming burdens offer lessons just as peaceful reactions to crisis.  You choose.

How you perceive your own dreams tells where you are in your own growth process.  This is not a measurable place with longitude and latitude, but it is not the abyss either.  Nothing is random.  You interpret your experiences based on what you are prepared to accept.  Different levels of love and fear exist.  You choose a perspective, "in the now."

How do you get someone to stop bothering you?

If you dream of peace in some relationship, it will come. How you view a situation begins inside yourself with your thoughts.  It may be a shocker, but you choose for someone to bother or intimidate you.  For some reason, you sense this would offer valuable lessons. 

What if you decided a troublesome person was frightened and hiding who he really is? It could be a boss, a parent, an in-law, a rival, stranger, whomever.  What does this perspective reveal about your assumptions? Life experience is a worthy teacher.

You may have the urge to laugh to yourself if the source of frustration seems like a confident aggressor or, has the physique of a football player. Yet, appearances are deceiving and do not portray the truth. You must look beyond them to what you hide.

Assumptions are grounded in your own belief that a person posseses something that he does not, that is, power over you.  This presumption is incorrect.  The truth can only be discovered within yourself, though finding courage to embrace life. 

No amount of book learning or impatience will expedite the process. Insight may expand you, but it does not explore practical sides of life.  Some people even believe no study is necessary to realize you shake yourself up in order to remind yourself of the meaning and experience of peace. Feeling bothered is recognizing what is extraneous and letting go.
