Urban Transformation

Today’s meditation focused on unconditional universal service of the urban areas in the major cities, especially where crime and poverty is running rampant. In the meditation all of the participants were expert pilots with the mission of releasing impediments to realizing their talents (One was that a single talent may be more powerful than the many that someone else may have, therefore, do not undervalue what the Divine has given you.) The planes were the crop duster types which were colorful with bright polka dots.

 

The mission was to go into the urban areas and to spray the people with Tao Guang Zha Shan dust. As impediments are removed from the pilot, they are sucked into the tail pipes, came out as dust, and went into the hearts of the people. People are transformed and the ancestors rejoiced. All are filled with love and joy.

 

--Blessings.

Blockages in the Soul Houses

 

On Thursday the meditation begin with going up a set of stairs and stepped into paradise. We projected onto a giant lotus on the lake and relaxed. As we floated down the lake The Tao Guang Zha Shan blessing did universal service in clearing trauma from the 7th soul house at the top of the head with the associated sounds, Weng, Yi, Xi, Ah, Hong, Heng, and Hei.. The power was so light and bright.

 -- We are blessed

Remove Trauma

It has been stated that we carry our karma in our message center and that we carry our trama in our spinal column. 

We did a meditation were we went up a set of stairs and stepped into paradise. We projected onto a giant lotus on the lake and relaxed. The Tao Guang Zha Shan blessing did universal service in clearing trauma from the top of the head, the brain stem, each individual vertebrae, and down to the tail bone.  The power was so light and bright. Tiny explosions were set off in each vertebrae.

-- We are so blessed

Bubble Machine

 

The Atlanta soul power healers started a daily financial meditation practice a few weeks ago. A Tao Guang Zha Shan blessing is a part of the daily practice.  Tao Guang Zha Shan means Source Light Explodes to bring about an instaneous change or healing. 

 

Today's Tao Guang Zha Shan practice was relating to removing the impediments that keep us from really focusing on Source connection for our finances. We say we want to increase our finances yet we may have other statements or declarations that keep us from doing so. We may make statements like, "I'll wait until I get divorced", "I'll wait until my children are out of the house", or "I'll wait until I get computer skills". We are sending mixed messages all the time and we have mixed energetic messages stored within our body that absolutely do keep us from connecting to source for financial abundance.

Today, the creative visualization was to imagine you in a small room that is totally made of glass, like a large sized booth. Inside the room is a bubble generating machine. The machine spits out all kinds of bubbles that represent your conflicting desires relating to finances. As you pop the bubbles with the long skewer sticks, source light enters your body and dissolves the impediments or conflicting desires. There are thousands of bubbles from this life and past lives. Each bubble burst brings joy and happiness to your body. All the while, Tao Guang Zha Shan was healing and un-creating the impediments, bringing source light and joy.

-- We are truly blessed.

All Truth

 

“No one can be taught truth, each must realize truth by himself or herself. A teacher can give direction, the way, and the pupil may take it. All truth is provable. Accept nothing on hearsay. Each must prove everything for himself or herself.”

“Prove it yourself. Only when proven for oneself does one have it and can one use it. One knows only that which he can do.”

 

“You should not believe anything we say, but prove it out for yourself by having great wealth, happiness, well being and health in your life.”

“I only know what I can do—not say. —Prove it.”

--Lester Levenson

Emotion Sickness

 

Emotion sickness is what’s going around in the world. Peace of mind is a quiet mind, not a noisy mind. The more you quiet your mind, the more powerful you get. Unload your limiting thought. Release your emotions by removing judgements, regrets, and resistance.  It is not necessary to go into the details, just notice it and release it.  Don’t worry about how you got the splinter, just pull it out.

 

Freedom and Goodness

“The second that you make a man truly free, he becomes truly good. And it is only that individual who has lost his belief in himself and his own pride of goodness and his own pride of being and his own honor who is dangerous.”

— L. Ron Hubbard

A poor goal is better than none

A poor goal is better than none. You'll find yourself very often squirreling around and spinning around. You don't know which way you're going or which way is up because you decided all the goals you could put your eyes on were too vague or too poor or too unwanted to try to attain....

 

“There is no goal vast enough to absorb your total capabilities because your total capabilities are so vast that they make goals.”

 

 

— L. Ron Hubbard

DECISIONS: THE PATHWAY TO POWER, PT. 3

 

Three decisions that you make every moment of your life control your destiny. These three decisions determine what you’ll notice, how you’ll feel, what you’ll do, and ultimately what you will contribute and who you become. If you don’t control these three decisions, you simply aren’t in control of your life. When you do control them, you begin to sculpt your experience.

The three decisions that control your destiny are:

1. Your decisions about what to focus on.

2. Your decisions about what things mean to you.

3. Your decisions about what to do to create the results you desire.

 

You see, it’s not what’s happening to you now or what has happened in your past that determines who you become. Rather, it’s your decisions about what to focus on, what things mean to you, and what you’re going to do about them that will determine your ultimate destiny. Know that if anyone is enjoying greater success than you in any area, they’re making these three decisions differently from you in some context or situation.

DECISIONS: THE PATHWAY TO POWER, PT. 2

As you look back over the last ten years, were there times when a different decision would have made your life radically different from today, either for better or for worse? Maybe, for example, you made a career decision that changed your life. Or maybe you failed to make one. Maybe you decided during the last ten years to get married—or divorced. You might have purchased a tape, a book, or attended a seminar and, as a result, changed your beliefs and actions. Maybe you decided to have children, or to put it off in pursuit of a career. Perhaps you decided to invest in a home or a business. Maybe you decided to start exercising, or to give it up. It could be that you decided to stop smoking. Maybe you decided to move to another part of the country, or to take a trip around the world. How have these decisions brought you to this point in your life?

 

Did you experience emotions of tragedy and frustration, injustice or hopelessness during the last decade of your life? I know I certainly did. If so, what did you decide to do about them? Did you push beyond your limits, or did you just give up? How have these decisions shaped your current life path?
 

More than anything else, I believe it’s our decisions, not the conditions of our lives, that determine our destiny. You and I both know that there are people who were born with advantages: they’ve had genetic advantages, environmental advantages, family advantages, or relationship advantages. Yet you and I also know that we constantly meet, read, and hear about people who against all odds have exploded beyond the limitations of their conditions by making new decisions about what to do with their lives. They’ve become examples of the unlimited power of the human spirit.
 

If we decide to, you and I can make our lives one of these inspiring examples. How? Simply by making decisions today about how we’re going to live in this decade and beyond. If you don’t make decisions about how you’re going to live, then you’ve already made a decision, haven’t you? You’re making a decision to be directed by the environment instead of shaping your own destiny. My whole life changed in just one day—the day I determined not just what I’d like to have in my life or what I wanted to become, but when I decided who and what I was committed to having and being in my life. That’s a simple distinction, but a critical one.

 

 - - Tony Robbins (Re-awaken the Giant Within - free ebook)

DECISIONS: THE PATHWAY TO POWER, PT 1

"In Unlimited Power, I made it abundantly clear that the most powerful way to shape our lives is to get ourselves to take action. The difference in the results that people produce comes down to what they’ve done differently from others in the same situations. Different actions produce different results. Why? Because any action is a cause set in motion, and its effect builds on past effects to move us in a definite direction. Every direction leads to an ultimate destination: our destiny.

In essence, if we want to direct our lives, we must take control of our consistent actions. It’s not what we do once in a while that shapes our lives, but what we do consistently. The key and most important question, then, is this: What precedes all of our actions? What determines what actions we take, and therefore, who we become and what our ultimate destination is in life? What is the father of action

The answer, of course, is what I’ve been alluding to all along: the power of decision. Everything that happens in your life—both what you’re thrilled with and what you’re challenged by—began with a decision. I believe that it’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. The decisions that you’re making right now, every day, will shape how you feel today as well as whom you’re going to become this year, next year, and in the decades to come."

Six Word Chant for Healing

The Six Word Chant is for Healing, Wisdom, Purity, and Enlightenment. The Six Word Chant is an ancient Buddhist healing chant. The six words are "Ong, Ma, Lee, Bae, Mae, Hong."   "Ong" relates to the heart of wisdom. This is the wisdom of the universe. The "Ong" sound can help with problems in the eyes, the ears, the nose, and with all kinds of headaches and head problems.   "Ma Lee" relates to a person's heart, which is full of changes. "Ma, Lee" can help with problems in the throat, shoulders, elbows, heart, and lungs.   "Bae, Mae" relates to the purity of the heart, the emptiness.  "Bae, Mae" can help with problems in the spine, back, kidneys, stomach, and intestines.         "Hong" relates to the enlightenment of a person with the wisdom of the universe or with the power of God. "Hong" can help heal problems in the joints of the body and the legs.   The six words together in combination can help to balance the energy throughout the body and help connect you to the healing energy of the Universe.   --Spring Forest Qigong

Emotional Freedom Tapping

 

What is Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT)?  EFT is a quick and simple method that has been clinically proven to eliminate stress and emotional issues in minutes. Also known as “tapping,” EFT combines basic principles of psychology with the ancient Chinese medical practice of acupressure. The concept tapping acupressure points was discovered by a cognitive psychologist by the name of Dr. Roger Callahan.  The streamlined version from Dr.Callahan's more complex process called EFT was developed by Gary Craig in 1981.

EFT works by tapping on specific acupressure points on the body while tuning into an emotion or issue to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories, conquer phobias, anxiety, stress, compulsions, addictions, food cravings, physical pain, mental blockages, and many other issues that are influenced by our minds, and to bring our system back into balance. Everyone has experienced at least one of the above issues growing up. For the lucky ones, the incidents were rare and mild, but for others early experiences were much more traumatic, possibly including violence, deprivation or abuse. Most of us fall somewhere between those two extremes.

 

Over the years, we build up a toxic load of energy blockages (trapped unconscious or semi-conscious memories), and develop unconscious beliefs, coping strategies and behaviors, such as addictions, based upon them. You’ve heard people say that they feel blocked but they cannot put their finger on the problem. Some refer to those blockages as engrams.

According to Encarta Dictionary (English-NorthAmerica), an engram is:

“a hypothetical physical impression made in neural tissue by a mental stimulus, once regarded as an explanation of the persistence of memory”

 

They are a certain points and experiences in your past that are frozen in time. If your system was unable to process some sort of trauma experienced by a younger self, it remains trapped within your consciousness as an engram.

These engrams become activate when a similar stimulus to the original incident happens. Your reactive mind takes over and you act in a way that you may not have intended based on stimulus-response. In addition, until there is resolution to the issue by removing the charge from the memory, a specific issue may manifest in some kind of addictive behavior like binge eating, cravings, drinking, compulsive shopping, or reliance on drugs.

 

--more to come on tapping

Transform Your Blame

Sometimes we have a disconnection between our perception of the cause of our condition and our own personal responsibility for our condition. The truth is the totality of our karma in this lifetime and in past lifetimes is the root cause of our current conditions. We need not blame anyone else and we need not make ourselves a victim.

 

When you blame someone else for your stuff, regardless of their involvement, you go down the (tone) scale of consciousness immediately and you will stay there until you take responsibility for your condition. You cannot get better until you make that realization. In fact, you also cannot get better if you blame yourself. When you drop the blame, your condition will improve. You are not to blame, but you must take responsibility.

Ask the Divine what lessons you need to learn from your experiences. Start by taking a close look at yourself. Practice forgiveness and gratitude to help you get there.

 

--you are empowered!

What is Karma

You've heard the phrase, "you reap what you sew" or "what come around goes around." Well, those are other ways of describing karma.  Karma can be good or bad. Good karma includes love, care, compassion and making others healthier and happier. Bad karma includes killing, cheating, stealing, hurting, harming and all kinds of unpleasant actions, behaviors, speech, attitudes and thoughts. Heaven is most fair. Good karma brings rewards—blessings in any aspect of our lives, including physical health and vitality, emotional calm and balance, positive thinking and intelligence, good children, relationships, finances and more. Bad karma brings lessons—pain, suffering, challenges, blockages in any aspect of our lives.
 
Soul sickness is bad karma that is carried by our souls.

Your Purpose in Life

To find one’s life purpose is simple.  The purpose of life is to serve in such a way as to make other people’s life happier and healthier. It does not matter what specific thing that you choose to do. Begin to serve first and it will come to you. Your niche will appear out of the blue like magic.

If after a time, you are not completely joyous about what you have chosen to do then pick a new thing to do; something that will make you feel happy and prosperous too.

You deserve prosperity if you think you do.  The goal is not to become prosperous at the expense of the people that you are striving to serve.  The goal is to become prosperous so that you will be in a position to serve in a bigger and better way. 

The world is waiting for you so what are you waiting for? The Divine has as many unique and creative ideas to share as there are people are willing to use them

--How does it get any better than that?

Heaven is Most Fair

 

 

We attract the lessons that we need most to help us advance along our soul journey. When we fail to learn a lesson, the lesson is repeated again and again. We either get the lesson and move on to the next, or we die repeating the same lesson over and over again.

The beautiful thing is that when you take responsibility for your issue and learn the lesson, you get the benefit. You grow and evolve. Heaven is always working for our benefit and heaven is most fair.


 

An Anatomy of Consciousness – Part 2

To continue from yesterday, Dr. David Hawkins stated in his book Power versus Force, An Anatomy of Consciousness, humanity is currently  at a level of consciousness of about 200.  He states,  "When one's consciousness falls below 200 at any given moment you start to lose power and thus grow weaker and more prone to be manipulated by one’s surroundings.”  At this point a person is in survival mode and have little or no self-determinism.  

Self-determinism is the power or ability to make a decision for oneself without influence from outside. To be happy and healthy human being is to be a self-determined human being.

As stated in part one, "The good news is a person can raise their level of consciousness by remaining in a high frequency environment or by participating in high frequency activities."  You can have to substitute your old ways and activities for new higher frequency ways and activities. For example, rather than sitting at table with a group of gossipers during lunch, go for an energetic spiritual walk, find a private place to do a healing or chanting practice, or read a good uplifting book.

The key is to create an exhilarating high frequency activity to replace the exhilarating negative charge received from the daily company gossip session. Whether we are aware of it or not, people often feed on negative vices to release excessive negative charge created by negative emotions like anxiety or fear. 

There is probably some person in everyone’s life that can be classified as a drama king or queen.  A person who chooses to create a huge dramatization in order to get clarity on how to handle an issue; or to get the attention desired in order to feel that they matter on some level. 

Find some people who are happier and more active in creating opportunities for themselves, with whom to build alliances.  Once a  person gets into a practice of seeking higher consciousness,  he or she will elevate himself or herself little by little.

Orphan’s Plea: This Story Made Me Cry

Davion Henry, 15, has been an orphan all of his life. He has been in an out of foster homes from birth.  He made a public plea to be adopted by a family. Wow, I think back on how I took it for granted when I was growing up that I had a home and a family. To not have a family was completely out of my realm of consideration. It never entered my mind in any lasting way that there are people out there who would give almost anything to have even a dysfunctional family.

Davion stated,

"I'll take anyone, old or young, dad or mom, black, white, purple. I don't care. And I would be really appreciative. The best I could be."

Can you imagine that all he wants are simple things? The things most of us take for granted as we are raising our children.  He wants a bed to call his own and to be able to participate in school activities without having to move all the time.

He also stated,

"If you can, reach out and get me and love me until I die. I'm praying and still hoping. I know God hasn't given up and I'm not either."

"I just want people to know that it's hard to be a foster kid. People sometimes don't know how hard it is and how much we try to do good."

I feel so much compassion for Davion and I hope one of the 10,000 requests to adopt works out for him.

I intend to share this story with my children.

Orphan's Plea to be Adopted (Click here) 

I am sending much love and light to Davion and all of the orphans that they may receive a family that will love and care for them.

Love is such a simple thing that we sometimes make complicated with judgment and many other attributes.

 

--Much love.

Heaven’s Currency

 

Some people glorify in amassing great wealth.  Other people would like to amass wealth also, but they give up due to lack of confidence or lack of consciousness regarding money. Still others, like automatons, scurry off to work every day to earn their fair share.

We cannot deny the physical universe and our physical body, we need them to navigate in this dimension. It takes physical (or electronic) money to buy the things we need to survive in this MEST (matter, energy, space, and time) universe. On the other hand, we need spiritual currency to advance our soul standing.  Spiritual currency comes from God’s virtue bank. You cannot take physical or electronic money with you when you die, but you can take virtue (God’s money) with you.

How you get God’s virtue? You get it by doing good deeds, thinking good thoughts, and by helping others. Doing good deeds is helping others through action or deeds or by praying, or chanting for them.

The scriptures state that to do good erases a multitude of sin, and I believe that. Some people refer to it as erasing karmic debt. Also, it makes sense because when you are focusing on helping or caring for others, you don’t have as much time to wallow in the details of your own issues.

Continue to a lots of  attention and action into building your virtue bank and your physical bank will automatically grow. You can ask the Divine to covert some of your virtue into money at any time.

--Many blessings.

Choices Spark Creativity

 

Choices are the things that allow us to tap into creativity. Of course, as we purify and begin to tap more deeply into the Source or creative power of the universe, we automatically begin to awaken our creativity. In the meantime, it is the act of making choices  that links us to that awesome power. Make a choice and stand behind it with strong emotions and conviction.

You cannot find a source of inspiration or creativity that resides outside of yourself. You cannot take a course to get it. You cannot have it mentored into you.  You have to choose a path or goal that is worthy of undertaking. 

Life is creative expression and action. Stop waiting for life to happen. Make a choice and go after what you would like to do or bring into fruition. Don’t wait for the perfect choice to show up on your door step. Author Napoleon Hill stated that a poor goal is better than no goal at all. Similarly, a mediocre or poor choice is better than a choice that's made by default.  

Ask yourself, “What are the possibilities for my life?” Once you come up with a list of a few things, for each item ask yourself, “What will my life be like in 1 or 5 years if I take this path? Conversely, what will my life be like in 1 or 5 years if I do not take this path? Make a choice. 

Once you put a strong emotion behind your choice, the Universe (God) will respond every time. No doubt about it. Every time you think on that choice with the same strong feeling, you draw it nearer and nearer. This is not hope, it is a universal law. The universe will begin to collect matter and circumstances to call your desire into existence. 

Remain steadfast and confident.

--Peace

Introspection

 It sometimes seems easy to fix problems when they are someone else’s problems. We have the best advice to give to make them perfect.  We have the very best advice to fix their hair, their style of dress, their annoying habits, their parenting skills, and even their weight issues.  Yep, if they would just follow the prescription all of their issues would go away.  

Sometimes introspection is better than inspection.

Take Responsibility

Do you know someone who seems to often blames someone else for their issues or who often make excuses for their failures or mishaps? Well, the bad news is that a person who has this habit has made themselves a victim. What starts out as a habit eventually becomes a mindset. The good news is mindsets can be changed.

While it may give some temporary relief to blame or point to someone else as the cause of your problems, the blaming and pointing makes you powerless. If you do not take responsibility for your own issues, failures, or mishaps you will never be able to do anything to correct them.  Stated another way, when it comes to mental and emotional issues; you cannot fix that for which you do not take responsibility and you will remain a victim.

Change the victim mindset. Take on the habit of dealing with your issues as they come up for review. Learn new strategies for addressing the issues in a different way.  Get help if you need to do so.

Be the captain of your own ship. No matter what, take responsibility.  You are stronger and more capable than you think.

Ask a Question

 

The scriptures says, “Seek and you shall find.” also, “Ask and it shall be given onto you.”  To ask a question is a very powerful thing because it activates the unseen force of the universe to provide the answer. To ask a question is the easiest and most basic way to change everything in your life, so you should be prepared to hear and accept the answer.

One question that is quick and does not require any advanced spiritual considerations is: 

How does it get any better than this?

If you have a bad experience ask, “How does it get any better than this?” You may see a big improvement.

If you have a good experience ask, “How does it get any better than this?” You may have an even better experience.

Another powerful question is: “What else is possible?”

--Expect a transformation…

Balance

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TMC) the balancing to the 5 elements is the way to keep the body healthy and balanced.

 

For example, if you have extreme anger, you would take herbs, do a meditation or chanting practice for the liver. On the other hand, if you had a heart condition, you would balance the fire element.


Study the elements and get all aspects of your life balanced.

 

Start today... tomorrow is too late.

Negative Mindsets

When you find yourself in an upset, in disappointment, anger grief or any negative emotion; don’t just allow the moment to pass.  Although you may not be able to release on the issue at that time, take the time to log the incident for a later releasing session. The fact that this issue has surfaced means it's up for review.  If you allow the opportunity to slip by, issue will continue to go unresolved.  The emotion happens, you get over it (somewhat) and put the incident on the back burner.  Not good!  There is no clearing only burying.  As the saying goes, "you go along to get along" with yourself and with others.  Buried emotions can manifest as blockages in your spirit or in your mind and body.

My advise is to purchase a small note pad or use the notepad feature on your phone and log the incidents as soon as you get the opportunity.  Log them for later release.  You may say, “Why should I do that when I will have gotten over the incident.”  You may be surprised at how the seemingly small and meaningless incidents can impact your wellbeing over a period of years if left unaddressed.  They can eat away at you little by little without your awareness. If you take up this simple practice for one year, you will notice a very big difference in how you relate to other people. You will see a huge improvement in your own happiness and in your ability to handle situations. 

So log the incident.  Take the time before the day is out to do a release on the incident.  You will notice that when you recall the incident in your memory, you will conjure up the same anger or emotion that you felt at the time the incident happened. The mind is funny that way.  It has the ability to process an old memory as though it happen a minute ago.

There are almost an infinite number of practices that can be used to release the emotional charge such as Emotional Freedom Tapping (EFT), Soul tapping, Meditation, or any process you choose.  The key thing is to review the issue until your emotion becomes neutral regarding the incident. 

--Happy healing.

A Beautiful Mind

The mind is very useful and wonderful when used correctly. We use it for logical reasoning and making computations, however, in general the mind is usually not our friend. It can be equated to the ego. In fact, that’s all it is when left undeveloped.

The mind loves to chatter. If left unobserved, the mind will run amuck. The more emotional or unstable a person is the more chatter he or she will have in the mind.

The mind loves to cause problems.  It creates drama, paranoia, and makes up all kinds of stories to keep a person in conflict.  As stated, the function of the mind is to solve problems. If there are no real problems to solve, the mind will create problems for the sake of having a problem to solve.

Usually, the conflicts that the mind gets us into have lots of emotional charge attached to them.  So the two people have emotions invested into the conflict. The charge on the emotions potentially creates hurts, upsets, or blockages within the persons or something more serious.  The key is to reel in our thinking (i.e. direct the mind to a rational idea or helpful conclusion) and allow our emotions to cool down and dissipate. Once you get the emotions out of a situation, there is no problem.
 

Some people love the drama because they feed on the energy and excitement, albeit negative excitement, of the conflicts.  This is what people tend to do especially if they have no big goals or projects which fully capture their attention.  A big goal towards which a person is working can take up lots of time and thinking energy.  There is no time for trite conflicts or emotional rollercoaster rides. Big goals of interest supersede petty conflicts.

For example, a person may become upset over the shade of paint that the painter painted a room in her home.  The color has an undesirable peach tint. The next day she talks about her dissatisfaction and possible solutions to many of her friends and coworkers; should she pay the painter or not; should she request that he redo the job or not, etc. It is a really big deal until mid-morning.

Mid-morning she gets news that she was passed over for a highly anticipated promotion. At this point details of the painted room are irrelevant. She is onto a new conflict of higher concern. Two days of yakking and emotional upset ensues. She is gearing up for a potentially long battle. There are lots of conversations and discussions with friends and coworkers.

Two days later, her husband of 30 years informs her that he wants a divorce.  Now she is devastated. Since this issue is of a higher magnitude of importance, other conflicts, including the fact that she was looked over for a promotion, become displaced with full attention shifting to this latest incident.

The point is that when we have big things that capture our attention, those things of lesser importance to us will fall away. With that in mind, it is important that we

1.  Take on big lofty, worthy projects to keep our interest focused, the mind chatter minimized, and the mind focused on doing what it does best; solving real problems

2.  Do releasing exercises when we come into emotions upsets and conflicts. This will allow us to greatly reduce chatter and conflicts being created by the mind over time.

Know that we can never fully eliminate mind chatter or control the mind. We can only do what we would do to with a two year old who is trying to get into something… redirect him (it) to a more useful task. More on releasing exercises later.

Much love...
