Consciousness & Quantum Healing

Connective Consciousness

Consciousness interfaces (often simultaneously) with many different domains such as sensory input, language, thinking (primordial, rational and irrational cognitive ideation & logic) & sense of Self. There is a relative preoccupation in consciousness studies on the interface with sensory input. We could probably learn some of the constraints, attributes and underlying processes of Consciousness if we carefully analyzed the different interfaces and tried to understand the underlying generic foundations that could be applied to such seemingly different domains, including spirituality.

Consciousness is more than perceptual awareness or sense of self. It is more than the flaslight beam of egoic or focal consciousness, or even the omnidirectional vision of the global Self. It is more than awareness or awareness of awareness.

Meditation masters speak of an inner light that pervades the physical and energy bodies, and now science investigates it as biophotons, and through quantum physics we can watch that matter/energy/information devolve back into the void from which it emanates. Masters have often equated this pervasive Light with primordial Consciousness and the source of life as well as matter.

Alan Aspect set up a physical experiment which showed that photons previously entangled continue to inform each other even after separation. They do this instantaneously, so are regarded as "non-local" Is the photon conscious too? They certainly are aware. If so, then the seat of consciousness is at a different/deeper self luminous hierarchal level just as the ancients say.

Even if we cognitively comprehend that “all is one” and actively pursue that experientially through meditation, we can still be fooled about our so-called intentionality having any effect on ordinary reality.

It is fashionable now for self-styled healers to deploy their “intentionality” with earnestness and sometimes with show. But, from a psychological view, this intentionality is another name for the exercise of free will, and reopens that old philosophical question. The implication is that somehow intentionality, or conscious focus, amplifies in any way the healing energy or directionality.

Experience shows that healing can occur spontaneously in many contexts without any conscious intentionality. In fact it might even retard the process to impose any kind of willfulness in it. Much of what is healing for us takes place at the subconscious or unconscious level, below our threshold of awareness.

The ultimate embodiment of the unconscious is our psychophysical organism, the physical body with all its attendant phenomena, including consciousness and awareness. We truly embody our memories, our history. Our symptoms, whether spiritual, mental, emotional, or physical reveal a meaningful gestalt of our current existential situation. Sometimes we can heal the body, but not the emotional trauma; or perhaps the mind calms and emotions resolve even though the body is terminal.

So, earnestly engaging in intentionality, even in a diffuse, generalized, nondirective way may be no more than a healing fiction, magical thinking. It does convey a permissiveness, an atmosphere psychologically conducive to relaxing and releasing old patterns. There is, however, ample proof to show that a wide spectrum of healing rituals alone can facilitate meaningful psychophysical change. Set and setting can be strongly suggestive, even evocative. For example, it is well known that “white coat syndrome” may cause spiking in a patient’s blood pressure at the prospect of seeing the Doctor.

Slight changes in our body chemistry can lead to dramatic change. Often, it is the rapport or emotional resonance that evokes the effect, rather than the specific technique. Practitioners unfamiliar with hypnotic techniques may mistake their procedures as agent of change. Most practitioners are “true believers” of the techniques they use; but the faddish nature of many of these procedures, and the “branding” of techniques should alert us to other motivations.

If the rapport is there, a variety of psychologically induced effects come into play, including placebo effect. Still, researchers such as Dr. Hiroshi Motoyama have shown that one person’s mind can remotely influence the physiology of another, even in blind studies. In the end, do we really care how we heal, when it not knowledge but relief that we seek?

Physicists and metaphysicists seem to talk about Consciousness both as an irreducible primal essence, and consciousness as a neurological state of an organism, including human. Consciousness is equated by mystically-oriented physicists with the very essence of cosmos beyond energy/matter, residing within us as the groundstate of Being.

The reductionistic view equates it with Mind as just a sequence of awareness interacting with the environment which can become complex as self-awareness arises; hierarchically stratified neural processes.

But no one seems to really know what Consciousness or consciousness is, anymore than they know what electricity or even mathemathics actually is. For some it is cosmic, for others the most mundane result of our brain functions. The distinctions between so-called objective and subjective consciousness is now moot. Physics has shown there is only subjectivity, though facts can exist.

"Almost everyone agrees that there will be very strong correlations between what's in the brain and consciousness," says David Chalmers, a philosophy professor and Director of the Center for Consciousness at the Australian National University. "The question is what kind of explanation that will give you.

Chalmers wants more than correlation, alledging we want explanation: how and why do brain process give rise to consciousness? That's the big mystery.” The converse question would be how and why does Consciousness give rise to cosmos? The problem is, Consciousness and consciousness seem to be irreducible, try as we might.

According to Chalmers, the subjective nature of consciousness prevents it from being explained in terms of simpler components, a method used to great success in other areas of science. He believes that unlike most of the physical world, which can be broken down into individual atoms, or organisms, which can be understood in terms of cells, consciousness is irreducible. It’s an aspect of the universe, like space and time and mass. According to this view, consciousness is primal.

A theory of consciousness would not explain what consciousness is or how it arose; instead, it would try to explain the relationship between consciousness and everything else in the world. In another theory the boson involved is conformal gravity, aka dark energy, aka the vacuum, aka zero point energy. Anything that gets entangled (electrons, photons, etc) builds up consciousness. There are other theories of entanglement, coherence and decoherence.

Many say QM has the look and feel of consciousness. There are several types of explanation of quantum state reduction, an occasion of experience: Copenhagen (conscious observation causes collapse), multiple worlds (each possibility branches off to form a new universe), decoherence (interaction with environment contaminates superposition - though it doesn’t really cause reduction), some objective threshold for reduction (objective reduction - OR), or quantum gravity.

Popular QM notions seem to fall into two categories:

Copenhagen-esque--"old school" explanations which dwell on quantum theory's non-intuitiveness and in fact seem to celebrate the "leap of logic" needed to accept the observer-based wave-function collapse postulate;

New Agey Utopian idealism--"quantum theory is strange, consciousness is strange, therefore, consciousness is explained by quantum theory", entanglement is proof that "all points in the universe are connected by some underlying ineffable thing, so can't we all just get along", etc.

Quantum theory will probably play a role in explaining consciousness and its relationship to the brain. In some theories (Greenfield), mind is rooted in the physical connections between neurons, while consciousness is an emergent property of the brain, similar to the 'wetness' of water or the 'transparency' of glass. The electrical activity of the brain makes a `model' of a self in the world and our understanding of physical reality requires this `model' to exist `in the dark'. We don’t know if it’s basis is quantum or complexity, or some combination of quantum uncertainty and chaotic sensitivity.

There may be a link between chaotic sensitivity and quantum entanglement to create the ‘trick’ of consciousness (King, 2005). Synapses are making a potential energy landscape. High energy chaos explores the full phase space and attention lowers the energy until the dynamic either enters an existing attractor (recognition) or the system bifurcates to form a new attractor (new learned stimulus). It's a form of energy minimization.

Is there a link between global brain states and quantum phenomena? Promising hypotheses link Freeman's model of chaos and bifurcation, Cramer's idea of transactional quantum entanglement, and Pribram's idea of the holographic brain and newer ideas of stochastic resonance and more theoretical ideas of quantum chaos. All these processes can interact together to make a viable basis for intentional subjective consciousness.

The brain is full of oscillations. The oscillations are chaotic in the time domain but holographic spatial oscillation in the space domain. Neural systems identify the oscillations that are in phase and they become the process that stands out from the out of phase noise. The in phase waves cause synaptic adaption and learning. When the brain goes from 'hunting' to 'eureka' there is a transition from chaotic out of phase excitation to phase correlated excitation.

This is the same process that happens in a quantum measurement, when we can only measure energy as frequency and can't directly sample wave amplitude of a quantum, so have to let enough beats pass to get an accurate frequency and thus don't know the time exactly. This is the uncertainty relation. The two processes are homologous.

Coherent oscillations in neurons are both the consequence of coupled areas and the cause of them over time. Chaotic excitations can, of course, be in or out of phase . It is the non-linearities which enable a number of harmonic oscillators to become mode-locked into phase or phase multiplicity, so non-linearity is the basis of all these phase locking phenomena, too (King).

According to Walter Freeman, "Consciousness may well be the subjective experience of this recursive process of motor command, reafference and perception. If so, it enables the brain to plan and prepare for each subsequent action on the basis of past action, sensory input and perceptual synthesis. In short, an act of perception is not the copying of an incoming stimuIus. It is a step in a trajectory by which brains grow, reorganize themselves and reach into their environment to change it to their own advantage."

This `model' is an intellectual abstraction and in reality it is just spatial and temporal relationships between each piece of electrical activity. Every quanta is in the form of matter waves except at state reduction. The electromagnetic fields permeating neurons and synapses consist of real and virtual photons, in their wave states, and each of these are disturbances in the photon field.

Quantum Healing

Our experience of reality is based on mind and observation. Physics is described in complex mathematics, but mathematics doesn’t explain itself anymore than matter/energy or electromagnetism. The final problem is associated with the ultimate nature nature of space, without and within us and a nonreductionistic description of our biological evolution. Physics, a natural philosophy, reflects on chemistry, biology and even social sciences.

Only our mental impressions, sensory filters, language categories, and concepts make us perceive things: things as separate from ourselves, the I and the not-I. But we are seamlessly welded to the Universe at the most fundamental levels. We cannot scientifically or spiritually distinguish ourselves from the subquantum ground of BEING, even if we feel separate or alienated.

But who among us has successfully abandoned the tendency to conceptualize observations as things, and compound that observation with qualitative attributions? We have experiences and later we say it was this or that. Some forms of meditation are based on disidentification from all aspects of existence and nominalism, neither this nor that.

Still, most of us still can’t wrap our quantum minds around it as a steady state of perception. We need working models for our praxis. Though science has extended our sight to the subquantal and cosmological levels, we still think provincially from the human scale of our natural senses. Our logic and metaphors are based in the senses. But our outer life comes from the invisible inner world, where we are literally in resonance with the Cosmos.

Concepts of matter, life, and mind have undergone major changes. Consciousness is not a material system and neither is Quantum Mechanics (QM). The world is quantum mechanical and we must learn to perceive it as such, but we don’t need to understand that to experience nonlocal healing, any more than we need to comprehend internal combustion to drive. Both physicists and mystics have a tough time reconciling experience of the deep nature of reality with their mundane experience in the world of things.

So how does that mind and its underlying mechanisms relate to or produce consciousness? Is consciousness a quantum process, or does it underlie all process? Neurologists tell us it is a physical matter of wetware in the skull. However, the most we can say at the molecular level is that there are correlates of consciousness. The irreducible precursors of consciousness and matter are built into the universe. They just ARE, unified holistic process.

At the finest levels of observation, physicists contend the distinction between mind and matter becomes as paradoxical as the distinction between energy and matter, life and death (organic/inorganic). Quantum mechanics strongly suggests the Universe is mental. The substratum of everything, including our experience of being, has this mental character.

Healing theories, particularly nonlocal models, have drawn from theories in both new physics and consciousness studies, often compounding and confounding both disciplines. They mix levels of observation in theories, which seem to be largely conditioned by the favoritism of pet projects; thus each theory is generally associated with only one or two “brand” names of researchers.

Healers have been quick to parrot many of these ideas that support what they feel they have observed in intentional healing acts, or what validates the tenets of their school of practice. Often their comprehension of the scientific basis of the argument is slim to none. But this attribution is used to “explain” the phenomenon, with enough misapprehension to preserve the Mystery. However, it isn’t this confusion that makes it so. Are the enigmatic qualities of the quantum realm actually the same as the unity, coherence and other enigmatic qualities of the conscious one? The jury is still out.

There is no consensus among theories of what constitutes FIGURE and what constitutes the most fundamental GROUND, and it seems they share the same essential nature. Our perceived ‘content’ is not distinct from the ‘context’ in which it arises. It is one whole cloth of bubbling space-time. Nothing more, nor less. We have looked into the Abyss of spacetime and found it laughing back.

Ervin Laszlo points out regarding the finest level of observation, that because of “the quantum vacuum, the energy sea that underlies all of spacetime, it is no longer warranted to view matter as primary and space as secondary. It is to space or rather, to the cosmically extended "Dirac-sea" of the vacuum that we should grant primary reality.” Virtual particles pop in and out of existence like quantum foam.

Mass is the consequence of interactions in the depth of this universal field. There is only this absolute matter-generating subquantal field. This realization transforms our perception of life. Living systems constantly interact with the quantum vacuum, also called zero-point energy, vacuum fluctuation, or subspace. Wave-packets of matter are in a subtle interactive dance with the underlying vacuum field, a vast network of intimate interactions, extending into our biosphere and even Cosmos. Mind and matter both evolve from the cosmic womb of space.

According to Laszlo: “The interaction of our mind and consciousness with the quantum vacuum links us with other minds around us, as well as with the biosphere of the planet. It "opens" our mind to society, nature, and the universe. This openness has been known to mystics and sensitives, prophets and meta-physicians through the ages. But it has been denied by modern scientists and by those who took modern science to be the only way of comprehending reality.”

He goes on to propose a poetic metaphor: “Everything that goes on in our mind could leave its wave- traces in the quantum vacuum, and everything could be received by those who know how to "tune in" to the subtle patterns that propagate there.” In a mechanistic throwback, he likens it to an antenna picking up signals from a transmitter that contains the experience of the entire human race, reminding strongly of Carl Jung’s Collective Unconscious.

Worldviews color our perceptions of our Reality, even in science. Concepts are effective theories, useful not true. The universe is immaterial, mental and spiritual. The mind observes, but it doesn’t really observe “things”. It has a way of attributing certain qualities, subjective qualities and dynamics, to everything, even so-called “objective observation. This multisensory narrative becomes the content of our memories, how we remember what happens.

Our minds have a tendency to come up with reasons, whys and wherefores, for things as they appear to us. It is part of our survival mechanisms. However, physics has proven, through relativity theory, the uncertainty principle, wave/particle duality, and Godel’s theorem, that there can be no objectivity, no order or creativity without chaos.

The mind produces narratives. Archetypal forces act as lenses that cause us to cherish certain beliefs, which lead to a class of thoughts, and patterns of emotions and behaviors. It doesn’t matter if you come down on the side of preferring order or chaos, nature has her way.

Ultimately, spontaneous or natural healing seems to by-pass this entire complex system, overriding our conscious perspectives in many cases. We may not “believe” in paradoxical healing, but it can still “work”, effecting psychophysical change at a deeper level through the emotional mind and through Mystery.

Healing is irrational. Perhaps the question we should really be asking is what causes us to imagine we are dissociated from a state of optimal health. This doesn’t mean our bodies will always work flawlessly. Chaos theory reveals that many systems in the body are self-organizing and regulated by stochastic processes that are naturally chaotic in nature. Chaos actually helps us reorganize, recalibrate our metabolism.

We can discuss it in terms of nested structured duality, superfluids, or an array of vortices, or a microtubule bank, or a dendritic cluster, hyper-neurons, glia and gap junction networks, or an entangled or collapsing wave function; still, we're merely talking about resonance between arrays -- patterns. This perspective leads to consideration of a Holographic concept of reality, the frequency domain, David Bohm’s implicate order.

Panpsychism aside, every bit of electrical activity is unaware of itself, is unaware of every other bit of electrical activity, and is unaware of all their relationships. This raises the question: why does consciousness exists at all and why is it a unity? What is synchronicity but a feedback between perceived reality and the emerging train of events. This is consistent with the transactional interpretation in which there is a handshaking between past emitters and future absorbers.

There are many plausible ways that quantum theory can help with these profound mysteries and it will be many decades before some understanding of the actual mechanisms are finalized. So, despite the pluses and minuses of existing quantum theories of mind, these kinds of theories should be encouraged. If consciousness is or is related to quantum effects then scientists will have to think in these directions to figure it out.

Conclusions

"Whether this vast homogeneous expanse of isotropic matter is fitted not only to be a medium of physical interaction between distant bodies, and to fulfill other physical functions of which, perhaps, we have as yet no conception, but also to constitute the material organism of beings exercising functions of life and mind as high or higher than ours are at present - is a question far transcending the limits of physical speculation.”, said Maxwell.

Of course, that was then and this is now.

Most natural philosophers hold, and have held, that action at a distance across empty space is impossible. In other words, that matter cannot act where it is not, but only where it is. The question "where is it?" is a further question that may demand attention and require more than a superficial answer.

Arguably, every atom of matter has a universal though nearly infinitesimal prevalence, and extends everywhere; since there is no definite sharp boundary or limiting periphery to the region disturbed by its existence. The lines of force of an isolated electric charge extend throughout illimitable space.

No ordinary matter is capable of transmitting the undulations or tremors that we call light. The speed at which they go, the kind of undulation, and the facility with which they go through vacuum, forbid this. So, clearly and universally has it been perceived that waves must be waves of something, something distinct from ordinary matter.

Faraday conjectured that the same medium, which is concerned in the propagation of light, might also be the agent in electromagnetic phenomena, and he called it “the ether”. Now we speak of it as the zero-point domain of virtual photon fluctuation. Romantically, we refer to it as the plenum, since it is infinitely full of potential.

Some philosophers have reason to suppose that mind can act directly on mind without intervening mechanism, and sometimes that has been spoken of as genuine action at a distance. But, in the first place, no proper conception or physical model can be made of such a process, much less how that deploys intentionality in distance healing.

Nor is it clear that space and distance have any particular meaning in the region of psychology. The links between mind and mind may be something quite other than physical proximity. Since we don’t know how it works, in denying action at a distance across empty space we are not denying telepathy or other activities of a non-physical kind. Brain disturbance or mindbody healing are plausible physical correlates of mental action, whether of the sending or receiving variety.

There is no consensus in physics, nor in consciousness studies, though there is a correlating theory for nearly every one proposed in physics. Spontaneous healing may bypass all of these suggested metatheories. A field becomes a nearly innacurrate term in the subquantual domain or metaphysical level of observation.

According to Hameroff, “Everything (matter, energy, you, me) is part of the hidden geometry of spacetime, of which the Platonic is one aspect. Smells and colors and melodic tunes are complex assemblies of fundamental qualia embedded as configurations in fundamental spacetime geometry.

The qualia in spacetime geopmetry *out there* caused qualia *in here* within us because there is spacetime geometry within our mindbodies as well. Because spacetime geometry is inherently nonlocal it could be that *out there* and *in here* are connected, or actually the same. Only in the classical world is there a spacelike distinction. Pure consciousness is the experience of a total lack of phenomenal content while still awake and alert, and thus able to remember there was nothing.

[Some theories alledge] cognitive functions reflect consciousness which exists in the universe. I am saying that quantum processes in the brain (related to cognitive processes) are connected to protoconscious quantum information inherent in the universe. The connection results in OR which is a moment of consciousness (the protoconscious/unconscious quantum information becomes conscious) But remember the universe/spacetime geometry out there is also in our heads.” Hameroff

Several Vedic and Taoist texts (and perhaps other traditions as well) suggest that, with proper refinement of consciousness, the “outside” world can be cognized holographically, in a superposed, interpenetrating state where everything is experienced in everything else. If evidence can support such claims, perhaps the human mechanisms of perception have the capacity to directly experience an uncollapsed universe in which what is normally unconscious is merged into consciousness (or vice versa). Its like a dream.

But somehow consciousness is; somehow creativity emerges; somehow healing works; somehow we are, and are interrelated. Perhaps real meaning comes from our struggle to try to understand how these things work, to struggle toward wisdom in both the material and spiritual realms. There is meaning in the struggle to create, to heal, to know, to be.

THE NATURE OF LIGHT IN KABBALAH

A fascinating fact: Long before science discovered the importance of light, the Kabbalah uses light (ohr) as the ultimate metaphor to describe G-d’s ‘expression,’ i.e. the Divine transmission â€“ the energy that brings existence into being and makes up all of existence. Light reflects, expresses and transmits the Divine energy. Existence is ‘light’ emitted from the Divine.

Light, with all its paradoxical qualities, is our best metaphor for understanding the process of creation. By contemplating the paradox of light -- that it is clearly real and yet appears to have no substance or shape -- we can approach an even greater paradox: the unity of our physical universe with the ‘universe’ of G-d. The mysterious qualities of light illustrate the main truth of our physical universe: that an existence must not be defined only in terms of its own being, but as a means to illuminate a higher truth. Light becomes both a pure expression of the Divine and the metaphor that, through our reason and other faculties, allows us to experience the ways of G-d.

Light straddles the defining line that runs between the physical and the spiritual. Light â€“ sans weight, sans mass, sans just about any of matter's properties â€“ is the most ethereal of physical “things.” Perceptibly real, yet free of the qualities we ascribe to the objects of our perceptible universe, light serves as a bridge of allegory between a mind grounded in a material environment and the metaphysical abstractions it contemplates.

Light, in other words has a dual quality of both particle and wave. It is a defined entity of its own with its own distinct ‘space,’ yet its ‘particle’ identity’ is wave-like, spread out like an energy field, carrying Divine energy into existence, like ocean waves washing up on the shore.

By tracing light’s most esoteric roots, by discerning the different levels of light and the various opinions on the nature of light, we will be able to both better comprehend our present knowledge of light, as well as open up hitherto unrevealed mysteries as to the nature of light in our universe.

As much -- or as little -- as we know about light, there is so much more to uncover. Indeed, we will soon discover that light is an entity whose surface we have barely scratched. We have discovered that light has dual properties of wave and particle, but that is just the tip of the iceberg. The mystical teachings on light can shed new light (no pun intended) on the nature of light and help us appreciate the very stuff that makes up our existence.

Two dimensions of light define the shape of your life. The balance between wave and particle actually can help you improve your life and your relationships.

Here’s how: You see, each of our struggles comes down to a battle between two forces, what we will call the ‘wave’ and the ‘particle’ elements of your life. Ask yourself the following questions:

1. Am I too consumed with the details of my life and have I lost focus? Does the small picture distract me, forgetting the big one?

2. Or is it the other way around: Am I lost in the big picture, seduced by my idealism, fantasy and dreams, and lacking implementation? Simply not getting the job done, as my whimsical imagination floats in space?

3. Does my intimacy or spirituality affect and permeate the rest of my day, my work, my mundane activities? Or conversely: Does my spirituality not allow me to enter the daily grind? Am I escaping into the world of spirit or burying myself in the world of matter?

4. Do I compartmentalize? And if yes, am I aware of its affects in my life?

Each of the mystical opinions on the amount of shape and ‘particles’ within light address another aspect of the balance between the diversity and unity of our existence. The ultimate goal is to integrate both elements: the distinct and discrete shape of the details of our lives and the unifying wave.

Wavy particles, particley waves. Perhaps these are the true 0’s and 1’s that make up existence. If we were able to master the wave/particle dance of light, our lives would become that much brighter.

How to Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You: In 15 Steps 25 June 2015 - Teacher: Wayne W. Dyer

How To Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You: In 15 Steps
Even When Forgiveness Feels Impossible
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Forgiving others is essential for spiritual growth. Your experience of someone who has hurt you, while painful, is now nothing more that a thought or feeling that you carry around. These thoughts of resentment, anger, and hatred represent slow, debilitating energies that will dis-empower you if you continue to let these thoughts occupy space in your head. If you could release them, you would know more peace.

Below I share how to forgive someone who has hurt you in 15 steps:

Step 1: Move On to the Next Act

Your past history and all of your hurts are no longer here in your physical reality. Don’t allow them to be here in your mind, muddying your present moments. Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the play.Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

Step 2: Reconnect to Spirit

Make a new agreement with yourself to always stay connected to Spirit even when it seems to be the most difficult thing to do. If you do this, you will allow whatever degree of perfect harmony that your body was designed for to proliferate. Turn your hurts over to God, and allow Spirit to flow through you.

Your new agreement with reality in which you’ve blended your physical self and your personality with your spiritual God-connected self will begin to radiate a higher energy of love and light. Wherever you go, others will experience the glow of your God consciousness, and disharmony and disorder and all manner of problems simply will not flourish in your presence. Become “an instrument of thy peace,” as St. Francis desires in the first line of his famous prayer.

Step 3: Don’t Go to Sleep Angry

Each night as I drift off to sleep, I adamantly refuse to use this precious time to review anything that I do not want to be reinforced in the hours of being immersed in my subconscious mind. I choose to impress upon my subconscious mind my conception of myself as a Divine creator in alignment with the one mind. I reiterate my I ams, which I have placed in my imagination, and I remember that my slumber will be dominated by my last waking concept of myself. I am peaceful, I am content, I am love, and I attract only to myself those who are in alignment with my highest ideals of myself.

This is my nightly ritual, always eschewing any temptation to go over any fear of unpleasantness that my ego might be asking me to review. I assume the feeling in my body of those I am statements already fulfilled, and I know that I’m allowing myself to be programmed while asleep, for the next day I rise knowing that I am a free agent.

In sleep man impresses the subconscious mind with his conception of himself. — Neville Goddard

Step 4: Switch the Focus from Blaming Others to Understanding Yourself

Whenever you’re upset over the conduct of others, take the focus off those you’re holding responsible for your inner distress. Shift your mental energy to allowing yourself to be with whatever you’re feeling — let the experience be as it may, without blaming others for your feelings. Don’t blame yourself either! Just allow the experience to unfold and tell yourself that no one has the power to make you uneasy without your consent, and that you’re unwilling to grant that authority to this person right now.

Tell yourself that you are willing to freely experience your emotions without calling them “wrong” or needing to chase them away. In this way, you’ve made a shift to self-mastery. It’s important to bypass blame, and even to bypass your desire to understand the other person; instead, focus on understanding yourself.

By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you’re aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life. By changing the way you choose to perceive the power that others have over you and you will see a bright new world of unlimited potential for yourself and you will know instantly how to forgive and let go of anything.

Step 5: Avoid Telling People What to Do

Avoid thoughts and activities that involve telling people who are perfectly capable of making their own choices what to do. In your family, remember that you do not own anyone. The poet Kahlil Gibran reminds you:

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you . . .

This is always true. In fact, disregard any inclination to dominate in all of your relationships. Listen rather than expound. Pay attention to yourself when you’re having judgmental opinions and see where self-attention takes you. When you replace an ownership mentality with one of allowing, you’ll begin to see the true unfolding of the Tao in yourself and other people. From that moment on, you’ll be free of frustration with those who don’t behave according to your ego-dominated expectations.

Step 6: Learn to Let Go and Be Like Water

Rather than attempting to dominate with your forcefulness, be like water: flow everywhere there’s an opening. Soften your hard edges by being more tolerant of contrary opinions. Interfere less, and substitute listening for directing and telling. When someone offers you their viewpoint, try responding with: “I’ve never considered that before—thank you. I’ll give it some thought.”

When you give up interfering, and opt instead to stream like water—gently, softly, and unobtrusively— you become forgiveness itself.

Picture yourself as having the same qualities as water. Allow your soft, weak, yielding, fluid self to enter places where you previously were excluded because of your inclination to be solid and hard. Flow softly into the lives of those with whom you feel conflicted: Picture yourself entering their private inner selves, seeing perhaps for the first time what they’re experiencing. Keep this image of yourself as gently coursing water, and watch how your relationships change.

Step 7: Take Responsibility for Your Part

Removing blame means never assigning responsibility to anyone else for what you’re experiencing. It means that you’re willing to say, “I may not understand why I feel this way, why I have this illness, why I’ve been victimized, or why I had this accident, but I’m willing to say without any guilt or resentment that I own it. I live with, and I am responsible for, having it in my life.”

If you take responsibility for having the experience, then at least you have a chance to also take responsibility for removing it or learning from it. If you’re in some small (perhaps unknown) way responsible for that migraine headache or that depressed feeling, then you can go to work to remove it or discover what its message is for you. If, on the other hand, someone or something else is responsible in your mind, then of course you’ll have to wait until they change for you to get better. And that is unlikely to occur. So you go home with nothing and are left with nothing when peace is really on the other side of the coin.

Step 8: Let Go of Resentments

What causes annoyance and anger after a dispute? The generic response would be a laundry list detailing why the other person was wrong and how illogically and unreasonably they behaved, concluding with something like, “I have a right to be upset when my [daughter, mother-in-law, ex-husband, boss, or whomever you’re thinking of] speaks to me that way!”

But if you’re interested in living a Tao-filled life, it’s imperative that you reverse this kind of thinking. Resentments don’t come from the conduct of the other party in an altercation—no, they survive and thrive because you’re unwilling to end that altercation with an offering of kindness, love, and authentic forgiveness. As Lao-Tzu says:

Someone must risk returning injury with kindness, or hostility will never turn to goodwill. — Lao-Tzu

So when all of the yelling, screaming, and threatening words have been expressed, the time for calm has arrived. Remember that no storm lasts forever, and that hidden within are always seeds of tranquility. There is a time for hostility and a time for peace.

Step 9: Be Kind Instead of Right

There is a Chinese proverb, If you’re going to pursue revenge, you’d better dig two graves, which is saying to me: your resentments will destroy you.

The world is just the way it is. The people who are behaving “badly” in the world are doing what they’re supposed to be doing. You can process it in any way that you choose. If you’re filled with anger about all of those “problems,” you are one more person who contributes to the pollution of anger. Instead, remember that you have no need to make others wrong or to retaliate when you’ve been wronged.

Imagine if someone says something to you that you find offensive, and rather than opting for resentment, you learn to depersonalize what you’ve just heard and respond with kindness. You are willing to freely send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way. You do this for yourself. You would rather be kind than right.

Step 10: Practice Giving

In the midst of arguments or disagreements, practice giving rather than taking before you exit. Giving involves leaving the ego behind. While it wants to win and show its superiority by being contrary and disrespectful, your Tao nature wants to be at peace and live in harmony. You can reduce your quarreling time to almost zero if you practice this procedure:

Wherever you are, whenever you feel strong emotions stirring in you and you notice yourself feeling the need to “be right,” silently recite the following words from the Prayer of Saint Francis:

Where there is injury, [let me bring] pardon.

Be a giver of forgiveness as he teaches: Bring love to hate, light to darkness, and pardon to injury. Read these words daily, for they’ll help you overcome your ego’s demands and know the fullness of life.

Step 11: Stop Looking for Occasions to Be Offended

When you live at or below ordinary levels of awareness, you spend a great deal of time and energy finding opportunities to be offended. A news report, a rude stranger, someone cursing, a sneeze, a black cloud —just about anything will do if you’re looking for an occasion to be offended. Become a person who refuses to be offended by any one, any thing, or any set of circumstances.

#Wayne Dyer #quote "Let go of your ego's need to be...." Want to communicate better? http://www.lifecontinuesafterdivorce.com/carols-store/carols-book-s...

If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others.

Not being offended is a way of saying, “I have control over how I’m going to feel, and I choose to feel peaceful regardless of what I observe going on. When you feel offended, you’re practicing judgment. You judge someone else to be stupid, insensitive, rude, arrogant, inconsiderate, or foolish, and then you find yourself upset and offended by their conduct. What you may not realize is that when you judge another person, you do not define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge others.

Step 12: Don’t Live In the Past – Be Present

When we find it difficult to forgive, often it is because we are not living in the present, and instead, we assign more importance to the past. We assign a good portion of our energy and attention lamenting the good old days that are gone forever as the reason why we can’t be happy and fulfilled today. “Everything has changed,” “No one respects anyone else like they used to…” This is assigning responsibility to the past for why you can’t be happy today.

It’s doubtful that other creatures waste the present moment in thoughts of past and future. A beaver only does beaver, and he does it right in the moment. He doesn’t spend his days ruminating over the fact that his beaver siblings received more attention, or his father beaver ran off with a younger beaver when he was growing up. He’s always in the now. We can learn much from God’s creatures about enjoying the present moment rather than using it up consumed with anger over the past or worry about the future. Practice living in the moment by appreciating the beauty around you now.

Step 13: Embrace Your Dark Times

In a universe that’s an intelligent system with a divine creative force supporting it, there simply can be no accidents. As tough as it is to acknowledge, you had to go through what you went through in order to get to where you are today, and the evidence is that you did. Every spiritual advance that you will make in your life will very likely be preceded by some kind of fall or seeming disaster. Those dark times, accidents, tough episodes, break ups, periods of impoverishment, illnesses, abuses, and broken dreams were all in order. They happened, so you can assume they had to and you can’t unhappen them.

Embrace them from that perspective, and then understand them, accept them, honor them, and finally transform them.

Step 14: Refrain from Judgement

When you stop judging and simply become an observer, you will know inner peace. With that sense of inner peace, you’ll find yourself happier and free of the negative energy of resentment. A bonus is that you’ll find that others are much more attracted to you. A peaceful person attracts peaceful energy.

If I’m to be a being of love living from my highest self, that means that love is all I have inside of me and all that I have to give away. If someone I love chooses to be something other than what my ego would prefer, I must send them the ingredients of my highest self, which is God, and God is love.

My criticism and condemnation of the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of others—regardless of how right and moral my human self convinces me it is—is a step away from God-realization. And it is God-consciousness that allows for my wishes to be fulfilled, as long as they are aligned with my Source of being. I can come up with a long list of reasons why I should be judgmental and condemnatory toward another of God’s children and why, damn it, I am right. Yet if I want to perfect my own world—and I so want to do so—then I must substitute love for these judgments.

Step 15: Send Love

I spent years studying the teachings of Patanjali, and he reminded us several thousand years ago that when we are steadfast—which means that we never slip in our abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward others—then all living creatures cease to feel enmity in our presence.

Now I know that we are all human: you, me, all of us. We do occasionally slip and retreat from our highest self into judgment, criticism, and condemnation, but this is not a rationale for choosing to practice that kind of interaction. I can only tell you that when I finally got it, and I sent only love to another of God’s children whom I had been judging and criticizing, I got the immediate result of inner contentment.

I urge you to send love in place of those judgments and criticisms to others when you feel they impede your joy and happiness, and hold them in that place of love. Notice that if you stay steadfast, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

A Meditation to End on Love

Picture yourself at the termination of a quarrel or major dispute. Rather than reacting with old patterns of residual anger, revenge, and hurt, visualize offering kindness, love, and forgiveness.

Do this right now by sending out these “true virtue” thoughts to any resentments you’re currently carrying. Make this your standard response to any future altercations: I end on love, no matter what!

Ingratitude is the Root of ALL "Problems," Appreciation is the Root of ALL Miracles 25 June 2015 Channeler: Simon NightStarr

***The God-Magic Series***

Whenever and wherever there is a sense of lacking well-being, it is always due to a degree of ingratitude. You have many popular excuses in your society that are used to deny this, even claiming, "Oh, I am thankful," while at the same time feeling that you have been victimized by another, etc. Yet genuine appreciation cannot bring you suffering in any form. That is simply not possible.

Understand the Basic Laws of Physics (As Your Higher Self Does)

The REAL basic laws of physics are not that which you have been taught in your "educational system." The core basic law is the law of perception (also known as the "law of attraction"), and this law of mind is that which involves the creation of all that you experience, without exception. To understand this law you must understand that the perceiver is the creator of that which he/she perceives. Your mystics and quantum physicists have this correct, although quantum science is not yet accepted by the human masses, and it is therefore not officially taught in your educational systems. (Most quantum physicists barely accept their own findings, out of fear of letting go of the old thought system that they were taught by society.)

It is fear of "going against the mainstream" that holds back many brilliant thinkers from fully accepting their own channeled insights that come from their Higher Selves. However, once you understand that there is a "law of gratitude" (an aspect of the law of perception) that essentially states that your Higher Self is always in a state of appreciation, which means that YOU (the broader, enlightened Real You) are actually in a state of appreciation, you realize that pain and suffering are delusional states of mind that do not represent Divine Reality, and when you realize this, you then accept the higher insights that you receive as coming from YOU.

You realize the insanity of clinging to pain, suffering and problems, which is something that most of you do, even more than you realize and admit to yourselves. Most humans have a ridiculous belief that pain makes them feel "more alive," while at the same time complaining about it. We see no sense in this, although we understand how and why you create and maintain this damaging belief. In a nutshell, as souls you do it because you want to have the experience of transcending it, of rising out of it and coming into your true power.

Most of you act as if there is a "law of pain" in your reality, as if suffering is inevitable, and in a sense there is, in the sense that your human reality is indeed a vibrationally dense reality in contrast to the "higher realms" of creation, and incarnating as a human does involve a soul agreement that you will experience some discomfort. However, there is no real fundamental law of pain, for pain is not original to who and what you really are. The law of well-being is actually fundamental to your innermost nature, and it is ONLY when you harbor a degree of resistance and denial of this spiritual fact that you experience what you call "pain."

Appreciation is the Root of ALL Miracles

We now arrive at the core realization of your True Power. Your attitude of gratitude is that which disarms the ego of its illusory "power," while at the same time giving yourself access to Real Power, God-Power. Your job is to convince your own mind (with the help of your Higher Self, of course) to fully associate the idea of power with appreciation. There is no real power without appreciation! :) Appreciation is attunement to Divine Love, and miracles are expressions of love.

It is also important to learn what a miracle really is, for most of you associate your ideas of miracles with effects that are associated with the body, such as a remission of cancer, rather than perceiving them for what they really are, which are psycho-spiritual expressions of your Higher Self. You usually think of a miracle in very physical terms, rather than being a loving state of mind. A loving state of mind IS a miracle. Miracles are not really effects as you think of them, but are indeed expressed as effects that you can perceive. Love itself is the true miracle, and this miracle is permanent and ever-present, in fact being what you really are, which is love.

When you perceive a world that lacks miracles, you are in a delusional state, for there really is no actual "lack" of God's Love, which is actually True Reality. There really is no "false reality." Most of you think that love must have an opposite; ultimately it doesn't, nor can it. Any seeming lack of love is a dreamt up "reality," a self-made "hell." Your self-appreciation is that which awakens you from the nightmare of "lack of love." In your human experience most of you are so accustomed to what your physical senses seem to show you that you have deeply bought into the lie your society teaches you, which is that "darkness" is fundamentally real.

We and other beings of light are here to help you release your tight grip on "pain," "problems" and "suffering," through teaching you true forgiveness, which is simply perceiving the True Nature of yourselves. Whereas most of you think forgiveness is about pardoning "others," we teach that true forgiveness is fundamentally about the perceiver appreciating himself/herself, learning to be at peace with ALL that he/she has created through their beliefs, and it is this self-love that is actually the key to realizing Oneness.

The mass thinking of your world is largely the "opposite" of what is actually true, although this of course is indeed changing for the better. Miracles are eternally available to you right now, yet it is YOU who must make yourselves available and receptive to them through your self-appreciation, which in the feeling-space of gratitude is truly appreciation for all of creation.

Amen.

Note: The Law of One, which is really the Law of Love, transcends physics, not being subject to time and space, and is truly the only Absolute Law, so to speak, even being the foundation of the so-called law of attraction, as Oneness (which is the Eternal Now) is Absolute.

Message from The Chakras 26 June 2015 - Channeler: Dr. Madalyn Kennedy

When I received this message it caught me by surprise that it was from the chakra system. I really sat in awe for a few minutes thinking WOW I didn't' know they could talk. Then I heard, of course we talk. We send you messages and talk to you all the time it's just that you are familiar with hearing from us. Then I thought, well of course, and since I can receive information from leprechauns, unicorns, fairies, dragons, stones, just to name few, not withstanding the beings of light and ascended masters then of course; why not receive messages from the chakras. LOL!! Makes perfect sense to me now!! love you guys!!When I received this message it caught me by surprise that it was from the chakra system. I really sat in awe for a few minutes thinking WOW I didn't' know they could talk. Then I heard, of course we talk.

LOL!! Makes perfect sense to me now!! love you guys!!

Now today is another new and beautiful day is it not? And we say to you, if you don’t agree, why not?

It’s simple, just as all things in this Universe of Worlds is simple. This day and every day is how you decide it to be from your words, feelings, impressions and deeds that you constantly tune yourself into moment by moment. You can either tune that good feeling up or tune that bad feeling up. The choice is yours. Once you determine how you want to live your life and how you want your each day to be experienced by you and those you interact with, then and only then, do you have the chance to make today and each day a beautiful new day.

We are not telling you anything that you don’t already know. What we are reminding you of is something so powerful and simple that you forget that you know it. Forgetting is what the heaviness of your Earth impresses upon you and each of you chose to traverse this road called earthly life to help others who have been here for so long in the forgetful stages to simply remember. The illusion of Earth is powerful and very convincing, but your heart center and all your energy vortexes that help to run your body machine are your memory triggers. Work with them and even though you can see them, they are part of you for a reason.

Many are unaware that there is even such a thing as a chakra much less understand what it is suppose to do and when it is doing its work effectively. Your daily interaction with all of this worlds impressions, environment, confused outlook on so many things place a huge toll on your body itself and on it’s chakra system. The chakra system is part of your internal guidance system and you just need to be aware of that. Much that is happening in your world today is due to those who have basically destroyed the ability of what their chakras could do for them. So just like anything else in your world, any system of worlds, all is made up of energy and life. The chakras are not different. Same as the Arch Angels and your Master Guides, the chakras are here to help and support you if you would but let them.

There are simple ways to repair and readjust these wonderful portals and vortexes. We are just wanting you to notice how you feel in certain areas of your body when something goes good or not so good in your opinion. That is your chakra sending you a message that either Yes, this is a good thought, idea, position for you to take and so for; or its telling you to move back away and regroup your interaction with a particular thing.

We are sharing our power with you today through this channel because she has effective ways to support and help your personal chakra system. She is not even aware of the total power that her particular Egyptian essences create for those of you who have and use them. As we said, many need to wake up more and more to the levels of advanced help that is available for each and every one of you to accomplish and succeed with this ascension process that is now upon you. We are not silent nor nonexistent. We speak to you in many ways and let you know we are present in your amazing system of bodies of which you are encased to enter this planets environment and to survive here. Let us help as we are so happy and willing to do. Pay attention to us and learn more of how we work with you.

There are many different schools of training and thought about us and what we do and how we support you. Some are accurate and some are just a little off but all have much of it correct. Check in with yourself, in to me, your heart chakra or me, your solar plexus chakra, or me, your Universal eye chakra and see which teacher, product, training is the best for you at the particular stage of development that you are in for this now moment. And simply start to awaken to us and what we are here to assist you with. We cannot help you if you don’t allow us to, correct? We are not different than anything else that is alive in your body at this time, your blood, your hair, your teeth, your bones, your organs, your muscles and so on. All are alive and when you send misdirected feelings, thoughts and energy that is so common on this planet, your create the dis-ease in your body that you will then have to notice and decide how you want to deal with it.

You are such powerful beings with such an attitude of deflecting anything that could have been brought on by you to thinking someone else is responsible for your situation, that you truly need to understand you are the only one responsible for anything that is here for you today and every day. Once you are willing to move yourself away from that confused impression and allow our love to support you so you can wake up again, all of us in your chakra system will be singing and humming along in perfect harmony to heal and support your earthly form until your ascension.

We are so grateful that you listened to us today. You see, we do talk to you, to all of you all the time. We are your chakra system – all of us, not just one us speaking to you today. You have no idea of how much you truly are loved.

Joy of being: Beliefs, Value and Positive Energy 26 June 2015 - Teacher: Knight Shadow

Joy of being: Beliefs, Value and Positive Energy

R. DINESH

Most of us have a tendency to talk about a problem and not about the action to solve the problem. This would again result in negative energy being circulated and the Mind would further strengthen its tendency to revel in negativity and not look to the positive. This tendency if not curbed actively by observing and not allowing to take root will make not only our lives miserable but more importantly make the life of others involved with us exceptionally unhappy and negative.

In this background then, the first motive or value we need to pursue is that one would need to be positive in Life and spread Happiness all round if possible or if not at least refrain from spreading negative emotions / vibrations. This value has to be the bedrock of all our other values to enable us channelize not only our energies but also the energies of all those connected with us to improve the world around us initially and when in the spiritual path it bestows on one a largeness to encompass the whole Truth. This is one of the main reasons why envy, jealousy, negative criticism or putting down others, rather than affecting them affects the person who gives room for them. Many paths and philosophies in fact link a Love of all as the ultimate goal one can achieve in our practical Life.

The same applies to our beliefs. As we can understand, if we believe we can be happy whatever the circumstances, our actions would start getting coloured with that perspective. This is not the same as being optimistic. Even while being realistic one must not allow the thoughts to drift to the negative spectrum. As we know, a glass can be half full or half empty, but when fully empty we must have the strong belief that by our efforts and the Higher Power's Grace, we can either fill that glass or find another glass, filling which would give us equal or greater Happiness.

One final point we need to bear in mind is how we communicate even negative feedback or in normal conversation. If we took the example of the ill person, the ideal way of being positive would be to talk about the various matters which would make him / her happy first and then refer to how he / she feels now. Many times, if the question was asked first the answer would be ‘awful' and if asked after a positive conversation, it would be ‘not so good but now better'!

We saw earlier, the role of the Gunas and how Faith can help us emerge out of their shadows. Irrespective of whether one is a spiritual aspirant or not, actions require energy and negative thoughts, anxiety, worry etc. sap one's energy. We must not forget that we are devolved from the Higher state of consciousness where It has allowed limitations to be put on Itself. Therefore, when we are not in communion with the Self, it becomes our duty to develop a positive attitude to overcome these limitations. The Western world has tried many methods, including auto-suggestion – i.e. repeatedly telling oneself to be positive. These have their place especially when one totally lacks self-confidence. The same happens in laughter therapy. I am sure, science will have its theories to prove which part of the brain gets stimulated to allow positive thoughts to arise. But once we accept this is not mechanical but we can influence it by our thoughts, we need to set a trend in motion so that, that becomes a habit ingrained in us in this birth (and in future births too, if one believes in that).

Positive thinking will not be the ultimate solution of release from Karma or bondage to thoughts but we can build up a surface happiness and a better future by being positive and enthusiastic. As we have seen in the past, negative thoughts will come back till we become thought free but we need to actively reject and overcome them till we reach the stage of surpassing all thoughts. This is what is in our control now.

Such a rejection is possible only when we have a strong belief in a few things. Like science proves through experiments we need to prove through experience. Till then we must believe. Believe in the power of being positive, enthusiastic and the words of others who mean well for us. But foremost is our belief in a Higher Power and Its unerring guidance in the right path. Then all effort is made without negative thoughts attached but with the certainty that the outcome is what He intended. This will seem a blind belief initially but when the time is right, it will be experienced. Without this seeming irrational belief, one is prone to opening the door very quickly to mental suffering.

Therefore, for one to lead a happy life on the surface and most importantly to pursue a spiritual path without being driven to do so by despair, it is essential to hold His hand and walk down the path of Life's experiences savouring them. Whenever the negative outcomes and adversity seem too many, one needs to exclusively concentrate on each action so that each action is free from the contamination of the earlier experience and related thoughts. At the same time, the firmer we hold His hand the more will smiles arise even in the face of the greatest adversity. The strength of our belief in His unerring guidance is the ultimate test He puts to Himself in the garb of a human being before the doors to the Highest happiness, i.e. Bliss in Itself opens.

How to Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You: In 15 Steps 25 June 2015 - Teacher: Wayne W. Dyer

Posted by Meindert Arends on June 25, 2015 at 8:55pm

Send Message View Blog

How To Forgive Someone Who Has Hurt You: In 15 Steps
Even When Forgiveness Feels Impossible
Dr. Wayne W. Dyer

Forgiving others is essential for spiritual growth. Your experience of someone who has hurt you, while painful, is now nothing more that a thought or feeling that you carry around. These thoughts of resentment, anger, and hatred represent slow, debilitating energies that will dis-empower you if you continue to let these thoughts occupy space in your head. If you could release them, you would know more peace.

Below I share how to forgive someone who has hurt you in 15 steps:

Step 1: Move On to the Next Act

Your past history and all of your hurts are no longer here in your physical reality. Don’t allow them to be here in your mind, muddying your present moments. Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary, otherwise they wouldn’t be in the play.Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.

Step 2: Reconnect to Spirit

Make a new agreement with yourself to always stay connected to Spirit even when it seems to be the most difficult thing to do. If you do this, you will allow whatever degree of perfect harmony that your body was designed for to proliferate. Turn your hurts over to God, and allow Spirit to flow through you.

Your new agreement with reality in which you’ve blended your physical self and your personality with your spiritual God-connected self will begin to radiate a higher energy of love and light. Wherever you go, others will experience the glow of your God consciousness, and disharmony and disorder and all manner of problems simply will not flourish in your presence. Become “an instrument of thy peace,” as St. Francis desires in the first line of his famous prayer.

Step 3: Don’t Go to Sleep Angry

Each night as I drift off to sleep, I adamantly refuse to use this precious time to review anything that I do not want to be reinforced in the hours of being immersed in my subconscious mind. I choose to impress upon my subconscious mind my conception of myself as a Divine creator in alignment with the one mind. I reiterate my I ams, which I have placed in my imagination, and I remember that my slumber will be dominated by my last waking concept of myself. I am peaceful, I am content, I am love, and I attract only to myself those who are in alignment with my highest ideals of myself.

This is my nightly ritual, always eschewing any temptation to go over any fear of unpleasantness that my ego might be asking me to review. I assume the feeling in my body of those I am statements already fulfilled, and I know that I’m allowing myself to be programmed while asleep, for the next day I rise knowing that I am a free agent.

In sleep man impresses the subconscious mind with his conception of himself. — Neville Goddard

Step 4: Switch the Focus from Blaming Others to Understanding Yourself

Whenever you’re upset over the conduct of others, take the focus off those you’re holding responsible for your inner distress. Shift your mental energy to allowing yourself to be with whatever you’re feeling — let the experience be as it may, without blaming others for your feelings. Don’t blame yourself either! Just allow the experience to unfold and tell yourself that no one has the power to make you uneasy without your consent, and that you’re unwilling to grant that authority to this person right now.

Tell yourself that you are willing to freely experience your emotions without calling them “wrong” or needing to chase them away. In this way, you’ve made a shift to self-mastery. It’s important to bypass blame, and even to bypass your desire to understand the other person; instead, focus on understanding yourself.

By taking responsibility for how you choose to respond to anything or anyone, you’re aligning yourself with the beautiful dance of life. By changing the way you choose to perceive the power that others have over you and you will see a bright new world of unlimited potential for yourself and you will know instantly how to forgive and let go of anything.

Step 5: Avoid Telling People What to Do

Avoid thoughts and activities that involve telling people who are perfectly capable of making their own choices what to do. In your family, remember that you do not own anyone. The poet Kahlil Gibran reminds you:

Your children are not your children. They are the sons and daughters of Life’s longing for itself. They come through you but not from you . . .

This is always true. In fact, disregard any inclination to dominate in all of your relationships. Listen rather than expound. Pay attention to yourself when you’re having judgmental opinions and see where self-attention takes you. When you replace an ownership mentality with one of allowing, you’ll begin to see the true unfolding of the Tao in yourself and other people. From that moment on, you’ll be free of frustration with those who don’t behave according to your ego-dominated expectations.

Step 6: Learn to Let Go and Be Like Water

Rather than attempting to dominate with your forcefulness, be like water: flow everywhere there’s an opening. Soften your hard edges by being more tolerant of contrary opinions. Interfere less, and substitute listening for directing and telling. When someone offers you their viewpoint, try responding with: “I’ve never considered that before—thank you. I’ll give it some thought.”

When you give up interfering, and opt instead to stream like water—gently, softly, and unobtrusively— you become forgiveness itself.

Picture yourself as having the same qualities as water. Allow your soft, weak, yielding, fluid self to enter places where you previously were excluded because of your inclination to be solid and hard. Flow softly into the lives of those with whom you feel conflicted: Picture yourself entering their private inner selves, seeing perhaps for the first time what they’re experiencing. Keep this image of yourself as gently coursing water, and watch how your relationships change.

Step 7: Take Responsibility for Your Part

Removing blame means never assigning responsibility to anyone else for what you’re experiencing. It means that you’re willing to say, “I may not understand why I feel this way, why I have this illness, why I’ve been victimized, or why I had this accident, but I’m willing to say without any guilt or resentment that I own it. I live with, and I am responsible for, having it in my life.”

If you take responsibility for having the experience, then at least you have a chance to also take responsibility for removing it or learning from it. If you’re in some small (perhaps unknown) way responsible for that migraine headache or that depressed feeling, then you can go to work to remove it or discover what its message is for you. If, on the other hand, someone or something else is responsible in your mind, then of course you’ll have to wait until they change for you to get better. And that is unlikely to occur. So you go home with nothing and are left with nothing when peace is really on the other side of the coin.

Step 8: Let Go of Resentments

What causes annoyance and anger after a dispute? The generic response would be a laundry list detailing why the other person was wrong and how illogically and unreasonably they behaved, concluding with something like, “I have a right to be upset when my [daughter, mother-in-law, ex-husband, boss, or whomever you’re thinking of] speaks to me that way!”

But if you’re interested in living a Tao-filled life, it’s imperative that you reverse this kind of thinking. Resentments don’t come from the conduct of the other party in an altercation—no, they survive and thrive because you’re unwilling to end that altercation with an offering of kindness, love, and authentic forgiveness. As Lao-Tzu says:

Someone must risk returning injury with kindness, or hostility will never turn to goodwill. — Lao-Tzu

So when all of the yelling, screaming, and threatening words have been expressed, the time for calm has arrived. Remember that no storm lasts forever, and that hidden within are always seeds of tranquility. There is a time for hostility and a time for peace.

Step 9: Be Kind Instead of Right

There is a Chinese proverb, If you’re going to pursue revenge, you’d better dig two graves, which is saying to me: your resentments will destroy you.

The world is just the way it is. The people who are behaving “badly” in the world are doing what they’re supposed to be doing. You can process it in any way that you choose. If you’re filled with anger about all of those “problems,” you are one more person who contributes to the pollution of anger. Instead, remember that you have no need to make others wrong or to retaliate when you’ve been wronged.

Imagine if someone says something to you that you find offensive, and rather than opting for resentment, you learn to depersonalize what you’ve just heard and respond with kindness. You are willing to freely send the higher, faster energies of love, peace, joy, forgiveness, and kindness as your response to whatever comes your way. You do this for yourself. You would rather be kind than right.

Step 10: Practice Giving

In the midst of arguments or disagreements, practice giving rather than taking before you exit. Giving involves leaving the ego behind. While it wants to win and show its superiority by being contrary and disrespectful, your Tao nature wants to be at peace and live in harmony. You can reduce your quarreling time to almost zero if you practice this procedure:

Wherever you are, whenever you feel strong emotions stirring in you and you notice yourself feeling the need to “be right,” silently recite the following words from the Prayer of Saint Francis:

Where there is injury, [let me bring] pardon.

Be a giver of forgiveness as he teaches: Bring love to hate, light to darkness, and pardon to injury. Read these words daily, for they’ll help you overcome your ego’s demands and know the fullness of life.

Step 11: Stop Looking for Occasions to Be Offended

When you live at or below ordinary levels of awareness, you spend a great deal of time and energy finding opportunities to be offended. A news report, a rude stranger, someone cursing, a sneeze, a black cloud —just about anything will do if you’re looking for an occasion to be offended. Become a person who refuses to be offended by any one, any thing, or any set of circumstances.

#Wayne Dyer #quote "Let go of your ego's need to be...." Want to communicate better? http://www.lifecontinuesafterdivorce.com/carols-store/carols-book-s...

If you have enough faith in your own beliefs, you’ll find that it’s impossible to be offended by the beliefs and conduct of others.

Not being offended is a way of saying, “I have control over how I’m going to feel, and I choose to feel peaceful regardless of what I observe going on. When you feel offended, you’re practicing judgment. You judge someone else to be stupid, insensitive, rude, arrogant, inconsiderate, or foolish, and then you find yourself upset and offended by their conduct. What you may not realize is that when you judge another person, you do not define them. You define yourself as someone who needs to judge others.

Step 12: Don’t Live In the Past – Be Present

When we find it difficult to forgive, often it is because we are not living in the present, and instead, we assign more importance to the past. We assign a good portion of our energy and attention lamenting the good old days that are gone forever as the reason why we can’t be happy and fulfilled today. “Everything has changed,” “No one respects anyone else like they used to…” This is assigning responsibility to the past for why you can’t be happy today.

It’s doubtful that other creatures waste the present moment in thoughts of past and future. A beaver only does beaver, and he does it right in the moment. He doesn’t spend his days ruminating over the fact that his beaver siblings received more attention, or his father beaver ran off with a younger beaver when he was growing up. He’s always in the now. We can learn much from God’s creatures about enjoying the present moment rather than using it up consumed with anger over the past or worry about the future. Practice living in the moment by appreciating the beauty around you now.

Step 13: Embrace Your Dark Times

In a universe that’s an intelligent system with a divine creative force supporting it, there simply can be no accidents. As tough as it is to acknowledge, you had to go through what you went through in order to get to where you are today, and the evidence is that you did. Every spiritual advance that you will make in your life will very likely be preceded by some kind of fall or seeming disaster. Those dark times, accidents, tough episodes, break ups, periods of impoverishment, illnesses, abuses, and broken dreams were all in order. They happened, so you can assume they had to and you can’t unhappen them.

Embrace them from that perspective, and then understand them, accept them, honor them, and finally transform them.

Step 14: Refrain from Judgement

When you stop judging and simply become an observer, you will know inner peace. With that sense of inner peace, you’ll find yourself happier and free of the negative energy of resentment. A bonus is that you’ll find that others are much more attracted to you. A peaceful person attracts peaceful energy.

If I’m to be a being of love living from my highest self, that means that love is all I have inside of me and all that I have to give away. If someone I love chooses to be something other than what my ego would prefer, I must send them the ingredients of my highest self, which is God, and God is love.

My criticism and condemnation of the thoughts, feelings, and behavior of others—regardless of how right and moral my human self convinces me it is—is a step away from God-realization. And it is God-consciousness that allows for my wishes to be fulfilled, as long as they are aligned with my Source of being. I can come up with a long list of reasons why I should be judgmental and condemnatory toward another of God’s children and why, damn it, I am right. Yet if I want to perfect my own world—and I so want to do so—then I must substitute love for these judgments.

Step 15: Send Love

I spent years studying the teachings of Patanjali, and he reminded us several thousand years ago that when we are steadfast—which means that we never slip in our abstention of thoughts of harm directed toward others—then all living creatures cease to feel enmity in our presence.

Now I know that we are all human: you, me, all of us. We do occasionally slip and retreat from our highest self into judgment, criticism, and condemnation, but this is not a rationale for choosing to practice that kind of interaction. I can only tell you that when I finally got it, and I sent only love to another of God’s children whom I had been judging and criticizing, I got the immediate result of inner contentment.

I urge you to send love in place of those judgments and criticisms to others when you feel they impede your joy and happiness, and hold them in that place of love. Notice that if you stay steadfast, when you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.

A Meditation to End on Love

Picture yourself at the termination of a quarrel or major dispute. Rather than reacting with old patterns of residual anger, revenge, and hurt, visualize offering kindness, love, and forgiveness.

Do this right now by sending out these “true virtue” thoughts to any resentments you’re currently carrying. Make this your standard response to any future altercations: I end on love, no matter what!

MY CONVERSATION WITH THE RUINER

JULY 1, 2015 / BRADLEY

MY CONVERSATION WITH THE RUINER

Today I had a great first conversation with the man who goes by the pseudonym THE RUINER.

We had it over SKYPE…, and I thought it went very well.

Far different from what I expected…, (due to the way in which he writes his articles), I found him to be gracious, and very easy to talk with.

I found myself thinking that I was actually inside the movie called: MY DINNER WITH ANDRE…, a film that I saw very long ago, and really loved. That entire movie was nothing more than just two people talking about the “world” while eating lunch in a restaruant!

See movie clip here:

During my conversation he told me that he really did come from those “families” who are considered to be the Illuminati…, and that he chose to walk away from all of it…, having decided to live his life in support of humanity…, instead of living against it. His heart is really a good one.

During our conversation, we hit all of the major topics…, and if you care to know about them…, all you have to do is to go over to read his blog, which is located here:

http://theruiner777.blogspot.com/

I asked him about his blog and about how MUCH OF IT was the truth…, and he said that it was ALL TRUE! But that he was not writing it for humanity…, but instead it was mostly being written and directed back toward another audience.

My initial thought was absolutely CORRECT when I started to read his blog…, in feeling that most of the “new information” that David Wilcock was coming out with, came FROM HIM and in our conversation he admitted as much.

In one of my first posts on his articles…, located here:

https://bradleyloves.wordpress.com/2015/06/16/the-parents/

I talked about how much I thought the information sounded like the lastest from David Wilcock.

He said that he was indeed the source!

All that being said…, it is my fervent plea that all who have been “caught up” in the on going saga of the BLUE AVIANS might PLEASE take a second look at the possibility of this information not being totally truthful, since I was told by two people now…, both of whom have called Corey Goode their friend…, that it is most likely “not really” happening the way he says.

I will not say more than this publicly…, and in all honesty…, we are all grown ups here…, and IF you really want to believe in Blue Avains…., then who am I to stop you! (I wanted the story to be true as well.)

However, in light of more information…, I have moved away from that, and feel that I have a serious blog to run here…, and serious TRUTH to put out.

If you want THAT…, then please continue to come here and we can all all move forward together!

All my love for now….

Bradley
