Review the indescribable

How many people have you met who have read fantasy books and concluded they would like to attend their own school of magic? Its not that far-fetched. What would you wish to learn? Would you look at the back of a fantasy novel for an application or website?

Life teaches you that if you would like to experience something unusual, you may need to put yourself in unusual places or create conditions which seem out of your sense of the ordinary.  You can do that where you are or travel great distances to find real magic. 

People will say they had a profound spiritual experience near the pyramids in Egypt or next to Angkor Wat in Cambodia. Other people will share mind-boggling energy vibrations at Stonehenge or other locations where the earth grid concentation is heightened. Would you view such experiences magical because they aren't yours? What if you share mystical experience?

Different mystical arts exist. Light energy expands in directions can travel. Reconnect with invisible thread to the core of the soul. You travel to infinity and back in the blink of an eye and are consciously unaware of implications. Mystical is never out of reach.

In your current mindset, you are out-of-touch with and unaware of many dimensions of reality.  You may not know what's "there," even right in front of your eyes, but you can always learn to stretch yourself further. 'Out-of-reach' is a state of mind, a perception of where you belong or not, and what feels right.  You create your own version of magician, sorcerer or conjurer. You often find teachers yet may not recognize the implications.

How do you live & learn from the Law of Karma?

I recently met a woman named Maureen. I sensed the subject of her public presentation would make a thought-provoking guest post. The author has no website, but shares her views freely because she encourages each person to find a way back to the soul.

The third spiritual law of success is the Law of Karma (both action and the consequence of the action). It is cause and effect simultaneously because every action generates a force of energy that returns to us in like kind. There is nothing unfamiliar about the Law of Karma. Most everyone has heard the expression, “What you sow is what you will reap.” Obviously, if we want to create happiness in our lives, we must learn to sow the seeds of happiness. Therefore, Karma applies the action of conscious choice-making.

You and I are essentially infinite choice-makers. In every moment of existence, we are in the field of all possibilities where we have access to an infinity of choices. Some of these choices are made consciously, while others are made unconsciously. But the best way to understand and maximise the use of karmic law is to become consciously aware of all the choices we make in every moment.

Whether you like it or not, everything that is happening at this moment is the result of choices you have made in the past. Unfortunately, a lot of us make choices unconsciously, and yet we don’ think they are choices...and yet, they are.

If I were to insult you, you would most likely make the choice of being offended. If I were to pay you a compliment, you would most likely make the choice of being pleased or flattered. But think about it: it’s still a choice.

I could offend you and I could insult you, and you could make the choice of not being offended. I could pay you a compliment and you could make the choice of not letting that flatter you either.

In other words, most of us...even though we are infinite choice-makers...have become bundles of conditioned reflexes that are constantly being triggered by people and circumstances into predictable outcomes of behaviour. These conditioned reflexes are like Pavlovian conditioning. Pavlov is famous for demonstrating that if you give a dog something to eat every time you ring a bell, soon the dog starts to salivate when you just ring the bell, because it has associated one stimulus with the other.

Most of us, as the result of conditioning, have repetitious and predictable responses to the stimuli in our environment. Our reactions seem to be automatically triggered by people and circumstances, and we forget that these are still choices we are making at every moment of our existence. We are simply making choices unconsciously. If you step back for a moment and witness the choices you are making as you make these choices, then in just this act of witnessing, you take the whole process from the unconscious realm into the conscious realm. This procedure of conscious choice-making and witnessing is very empowering.

When you make any choice, you can ask yourself two things:

1) What are the consequences of the choice I am making?

2) Will this choice I’m making now bring happiness to me and those around me?

There is only one choice, out of the infinity of choices available to you in every second, that will create happiness for you as well as those around you. And when you make that one choice, it will result in a form of behaviour that is called, ‘spontaneous right action.’ This is the right action at the right moment. You feel it. It’s the right response to every situation as it happens. It’s the action that nourishes you and everyone else who is influenced by that action.

The universe has a mechanism to help you make spontaneously correct choices. This mechanism has to do with sensations in your body. Your body experiences comfort and discomfort. At the moment you consciously make a choice, pay attention to your body. If your body sends a message of comfort, that’s the right choice. If your body sends a message of discomfort, then its not the appropriate choice.

You must become consciously aware that your future is generated by the choices you are making every moment of your life. If you do this on a regular basis, then you are making full use of the Law of Karma.

Reinforce what you already know

Jenny Mannion of Heal Pain Naturally tagged me to list 10 things that made me happy today.   I invite you to visit her blog at

http://healpain.blogspot.com/2008/07/10-things-that-made-me-happy-today.html

As my sense of inner happiness is unconditional and unchanging, my approach to this meme is to highlight how I reinforce what I already know.  These aren't things I do intermittently in hopes of seeking happiness. What I do each day doesn't change this joy.

For me, joy is a constant, uplifting state.  If you choose to explore this perspective, you might consider these 10 strategies for rediscovering what joy you have always had:

1) Choose to hold specifically high vibrating thoughts to attract better experiences.

2) Devote time to your passion for creating.

3) Realize you can be happy for no identifiable reason.

4) Visualize something you can accept as a real possibility.

5) Allow 'doing' to spring from your essence rather than assume 'doing' will lead you to it.

6) Imagine peaceful resolutions to sources of conflict.

7) Expect complete heath, spiritual-connectedness, meaningful interactions.

8) Recognize you can't arrive at happiness via physical action when its a mental choice.

9) Sense you come from happiness and be aware of the causes and effects of thoughts.

10) Learn to just "be" in the now.

Realize experience holds your secret

Something bigger than you has a hand in your life.  Why is it that you dream certain dreams?  Why is it that you have choose to detect messages in events? You are doing what you need to do to get where you're going and have support to 'get there.'

You sense the presence of Forces beyond you all the time without necessarily recognizing it.  You may not be able to see the source of continual reassurance, or understand why certain events stand out in life, but you can feel things that somehow make sense.

Whatever result preoccupies you as not being good enough, of not being desirable, you have actually been saved from another fate.   Rather than focus on what you no longer have, on what you seem to have lost, consider instead how you could be far worse off.

What you don't see happen might have happened and been reversed.  Angels don't function on human rules and perceived time. They intervene and help you when you ask, but you may be unaware of what they do. The car that side-swiped you could've been a head-on collision.  Illness that temporarily slowed you down could have abruptly taken your life.  Options that seem to vanish actually reorient you to truth you need to hear.

Where you are and the state you're in are reason to be grateful. Many experiences exist to broaden your self-understanding.  Each event that unfolds holds its own message, a new path to help you reveal secrets within yourself.  Angels are always guiding you.

Let faith take root

You would not nuture a dream if you didn't have the faith to accomplish it.  Learn that you have the power to draw on faith beyond that which you sense inside yourself. Higher Forces also share their energy vibrations. They offer you supernatural faith to expand.

Perhaps you wonder how you could know happiness after feeling so discouraged. Perhaps  you ask yourself how to 'hang in there' when times seem tough. Set yourself free from what other people think. Discard those doubts, "I can'ts," and ideas that don't matter.

Remind yourself different kinds of faith exist. You may want to know what is happening to you physically, things that explain why you seem to sense things about yourself and other people.  Its all part of your path. You sense what works, what is right, when people lie to themselves and to you. You understand their behavior and it mirrors back who you are.
