Where will you be in 3 years?

When people don't predict exactly where they will be, their own self-doubt, confusion or uncertainty may cloud their vision.  This may even sound like you?

Have you ever asked yourself where you would like to be in the next three years? I don't mean creating a down to the second itinerary(unless you're really meticulous). 

What can be useful is to practice not only writing down plans, but more importantly, visualizing the entire multisensual experience. It's time to clarify what this means:

1) Refamiliarize yourself with your senses- this includes the traditional five (sight, smell, taste, touch, hearing) and any additional senses you have discovered or are in the process of developing.  Abilities you discern and actively use all shape your life.

2) Decide on the qualities of guides who will surround you- as you follow your instincts, you will invite guides into your life who empower you to realize your greatest potential.  They may include human beings, spiritual beings or other sorts of guides. What matters isn't who they are, but how they inspire you to uncover your hidden truth.

3) Envision incremental steps.  As you set milestones you plan to achieve toward longer-term goals, you will gain the motivation to achieve what you set out to do.  Each time you move forward, you will recognize your sense of progress and propel yourself further along your journey.  Every milestone should be incrementally higher and achieveable for you.

What's in the Drum?

It is told a fox plunges into the forest. The creature sees a drum hanging from a tree branch, leaning against the trunk. As the wind blows and the branches move, the fox can hear the noise of the drum. The fox sees the size of the drum and hears noises it makes.

Thinking that its flesh and leather are equal to its size, the fox starts to covet the drum. The creature struggles day and night; ignoring all else. Around the drum, there are many thorns and other enemies; and the fox plots many ways to get it for himself.

Finally, he reaches it, tears it open, to finds nothing inside except for the wind.

This is like the ones who love the world; they start to cry when darkness falls and death approaches.

However, those whose eyes are wide-open by means of knowledge do not pay any attention to the sound of drum in the forest where the fox plunges; they just hunt the eternal game, and look for that.

Chokecherry Gall Eagle & 4 Tips to unveil sacred knowledge

Chokecherry Gall Eagle invites you to realize that deepening your spirit and exploring your dreams is for you alone.  The Native approach is one of empowerment through non-intervention.  You must permit someone to struggle through their obstacles because they are meant to test and strengthen him.  You do the person no favors by taking his tests.

1) Native ways and some non-native ways lead to the same place.  The key is to embrace a system which encourages progressive development.  Its all about searching for ways to nurture hope and self-growth.  Everything comes back to pure consciousness. 

2) Be aware of how you create illusions.  The content of a given experience can distract you from understanding the nature of that experience.  You need to see through the superficial.  The message is more important than the messenger, and awareness is necessary to recognize and connect with a messenger before you discern his message.

3) Changing your feelings will change your reality.  Relative definition is often used to define yourself in relation to others.  How you feel about your relationships, work,  and other conditions, shapes your identity.  Your sense of physical body and assumed limitations also limit your experiences.  As you decide on a more flexible view of what you are, your consciousness and perception of time and space change.  You take control by changing your feelings rather than allow them to be changed due to circumstance.

4) Choose to transcend your perception.  Human perception is grounded in time and space.  From the moment you cease to define your physical self as solid,  your experience expands.  If your body disappears in one place and reappears elsewhere, you realize solidity arises from the power of thought and belief.  To be grounded in the physical world, your brain functions according to its conditioned logic.  To be open to experience not limited by time opens the shutters of the mind to explore mystical realms.  To do so, your energy vibration actually speeds up to higher levels. 

What if you could transcend expectations?

Did you ever think that serving others would be a means to deeper self-discovery?  This makes it much more realistic to step back and transcend your sense of personal struggle.  Each time you prioritize someone else's interests, you can move beyond your hope for a reward.  The secret of escaping ego control is to depersonalize your life perspective.

You may be the sort of person who tends to analyze.  As you learn to move beyond the desire to compete and compare, you will discover that information is a means to an end, and not an end in itself.  To ride the expanding wave of knowledge prepares you for progressive and perpetual growth.  You transcend your initial limited hopes and dreams.

So, you're gaining insight.  You realize you must remove the barriers you have created in order to explore consciousness.  Whose ideas have molded and shaped your sense of who you are?  As you learn to distance your self-view, you can become more objective and less emotional when assessing the drama of your existence.  Does this mindset appeal to you?

The more you get-to-know yourself, the easier it is to understand why you built a resistence within yourself to opposing forces around you.   The point is to evolve to dissolve the conditioned desire to dominate, to control people and outcomes.  Transcending expectations implies you accept what you can't change and learn to live with it, without permitting it to affect how you think or feel.  When you believe, you can.

Why do you seem to become invisible?

Some people discover they become spontaneously invisible and wonder what's going on.  Wouldn't you? They hadn't planned it, or didn't think they had.  Shifting frequency, even unconsciously, has rather curious effects.  You may not even know your own strength!

If you or someone you know has a habit of vanishing and reappearing in weird ways, this sounds like the creation of a light-absorbing, free-electron cloud around the self.  Imagine, you could be a master of advanced physics and not realize it! Some people vanish and don't even sense it.  Life is all about self-discovery.  Inner growth is nothing to fear.

Since some kind of focused, mental thought process must be used to generate the cloud around the self, all the more reason to take steps to raise your awareness about what you're thinking and when. Learning about your sleeping dreams can shed new light. 

Now, invisibility as an idea calls into question widespread understanding of what is physically possible.  If you do experience this state,  you value non-conformity and evolve toward heightened psychic abilities. You also recognize reality is grounded in your matrix of time and space.  You will not always be in a mindset or attitude compatible with other people around you.  To them, you will seem invisible, even before you literally disappear. 

Its meaningful to reflect on why you desire to be invisible or, why you think you already disappear from view.  Should it matter that people notice or not?  What do your reactions teach? To explore thoughts, feelings and expectations for invisibility is very revealing.

Remember, you live the life you think about.  You get precisely what you expect, as interpreted by a subconscious energy level.  You can research paranormal history and delve into theory behind electromagnetic fields.  Yet, you learn most by getting-to-know your true self. More people fear themselves than bravely venture to where answers lie.
