Become your own superhero

How many times have you imagined you had super powers, extended endurance, physical strength or intellectual stamina beyond your wildest dreams? Superheroes in comic books and film defy gravity and do things "normal" people do not.  Ready to redefine your 'norm?'

You need not perform extraordinary feats or surpass abilities of olympic athletes to master levels of personal success.  Superheros understand how to tap into inner magic.   Each time you stretch yourself, you are proving you have hidden abilities. Each time you choose to undertake new things, you exude a vitality that shapes perception.  Rather than fight evil, you attune to soul and dissolve negative energy.  You rescue yourself.

To become your own superhero is a choice. You are your loudest cheering section, your most loyal and loving supporter.  This mindset exudes increasing confidence and unwavering faith.  To believe you will overcome obstacles permits you to  transcend limits people impose.  You see through them with x-ray -like vision and heightened senses.

A superhero mentality enables you to  recognize that you are never a victim of your own choices.  In fact, you realize you hold the magic key to unlock the prison of your soul.

Feeling like a superhero does not necessarily mean you feel compelled to wear skimpy outfits, blue or red tights and a silky cape.  When you feel like a superhero, you realize you  have infinite creative power.This can be explored and used for the greater good as well as to further your journey to heightened awareness.  You do not have to leave where you are to get excited and learn to sense the intensity of fulfillment.

As you read this, you are ready to stand back and stop following the crowd.  You read and write for the sake of self-discovery and to empower each person to become their own sense of superhero, whatever this means. You value generosity and altruism.  Whatever situation you find yourself in, you have the capacity to reinforce inner peace and self-understanding.  As you stop asking what things are and where they come from, answers trickle from unknown places.  What matters is you coose to sense them.

How do you discern with your eyes closed?

You may not think so much about how you take in information about your night-time dreams. After all, since your eyes are closed, you may assume you do not ingest details with your senses.  It is common for dreamers to assume they make-up everything. 

Think again. What if senses you are unaware of by day are being used at night? What if consciously preventing the use of senses you use in waking life enables you to remind yourself of other abilities you have always had? Are you reading the signs?

If you take the view that you exist in an infinite space, like the idea of the holodeck on the Starship Enterprise, then you may begin to believe that your daytime senses create details to enable you to feel grounded.  Similarly, while asleep, you give yourself the freedom to do things that in waking life you brainwash yourself to believe are impossible.

For instance, many people will talk about a desire to fly.  They will share what they imagine it feels like and refer to their observations of flying creatures.  Yet, what if views of flying draw from experience of astral travel? What if removing constraints of the conscious mind enables you to expand your sense of boundaries beyond your regular imagination? What if astral dreaming is a baseline state that reveals your true identity?

Closing your physical eyes shuts out limited seeing.  It connects you with pure consciousness in the light, immerses you in the truth of who you are.  You do not think about how your daily perception actually blocks innate awareness of light.  Astral dreaming enables you to experience what ego cannot. Be like a fish.   Be awake while you sleep with eyes wide shut.

Learn to stop kidding yourself

Human beings of all ages have been known to kid around, to be funny, to joke for fun.  Yet, the degree you sense you get into trouble also relates to ways you kid yourself on deeper levels.  Would you view this kind of belief as a lapse? Have you ever felt unloved?

For instance, if you choose to engage in romance with someone you do not love, or even marry such a person,  then you are creating inner conflict.  This will result in unnecessary stress and health problems even if you do not initially make the connection.  When you refuse to be honest with yourself,  you hesitate to open your heart in ways to heal soul. 

You may have observed other people bring on their own discomfort. Everyone can learn to make decisions not based on neediness, but out of selfless respect for another.  The process of evolving toward being humble and egoless is part of the journey of life.

Another reason to stop kidding yourself may relate to your perceived physiological or emotional state.  If you think you have nothing to do with how you feel, or why your body is deteriorating, then you are unaware.  To discover a disease is a symptom of something deeper.  It reveals clues about addiction or other self-defeating behavior.  Learn to discern the core issues.  Then, you can take steps to heal in ways that astound yourself. 

How many people get diagnosed with illnesses and miraculously heal themselves? The number is irrelevant.  These  people do not kid themselves about what is possible.  They take responsibility for how they think and raise awareness about causes of their beliefs.  You have no reason to make fun of yourself or criticize your current predicament.  Whatever your state of health, it is a blessing. You have the power to transform.

In a nutshell, illness of any kind reveals your soul desired to challenge what you believe. Now, you are ready to redefine what it means to kid yourself. This means learning to dissolve the cynic, the doubter, and the judge.  As you learn to strengthen a sense of unconditional love, you discover this is strongest power you can tap into at any moment. 

What if you are always dreaming?

Would it be so hard to believe that you are always dreaming? That is, no matter where you are or what you are doing, you are dremaing in some way.  Dreams inspire, motivate and transform how you perceive and with your senses.  Ever ask, why dream now?

Take for example that when you know someone who has passed on, life experiences still remind you of their presence.  It may be a perfume you smell that the deceased person used to wear.  It may be encountering a cashier in a shop with the same name on a badge, or someone who has a familiar gesture or idiosyncrasy.  What about that song playing on the radio? Do you dream conicidences or, could a spirit be making his or her presence known for a purpose?  They have been known to visit during night dreams.

What about when events unfold in ways that cause you to wish you were dreaming? People will pinch themselves to prove they are not dreaming.  What kind of evidence is that?  Positive experiences are created just as negative experiences are created--in the mind.  Why would you take steps to convince yourself to stop dreaming when you get so much out of life? People who believe they dream 24/7 redefine the meaning of awakening.

Who do you think you were?

You may have been asked,  who do you think you are? When was the last time someone asked you who you think you were? This implies you used to be someone else and now, you feel like someone different. Has this happened to you? Can you place this feeling?

You may imagine you were Marco Polo or some other famous person in a past life. This may or may not be true.  What is true is that you are energy that is constantly transforming and influencing your surroundings.  Who you used to be and the choices you made influence who you are right now.  What do you make of all the recent changes?

If you are discerning a new kind of awareness, then this is a sign that you sense life differently. As you stop comparing, it will no longer matter how you used to feel, the choices you used to make because they do not define who you are and what you are becoming.  You are already doing that without even thinking. It is apparent in your increasing mindfulness.
