Be Willing Make Better Choices

Being willing to be willing is one of the hardest concepts to recognize when I was working on change.   Of course the change that I am referring to is "spiritual change".   We can  become entangled within our own web of truths which sometimes are not true, but myths that live within our own reality.  Awakening to the truth and being able to recognize the "false truth" is not always easy.  I suggest at first you become willing to be willing to change and ask in your daily prayers that your guides give you some direction here.   Following is my example of my journey when dealing with falsehoods about myself and after quite a few years seizing the "bull by the horns" learning to make the choice to change my own behavior of erroneous behaviors that led to ill health. 

So, when I was about 13 years of age I injured my knee while ice skating.  Of course I was attempting that which I had no business doing, but isn't that always typical kid?   I was left with a torn ligament  and forced to be on crutches for about 8 weeks.  All went well, but I ignored the physical therapy part of the equation and like all teen agers used the excuse to get out of physical education at school to not exercise.  It worked and I used that little excuse for 50 some odd years.  I was even convinced that my knees were permanently damaged.  Then all "hell" broke loose with my health starting with an innocent jar of peanut butter landing on my right foot and breaking a bone.  Next was what is called the rotation cuff and using my right arm was impossible.   I begin to fret, and finally turned to prayer for guidance.  I was not going to use the medical profession as surgery for me can be dangerous at best and always not the best solution.  Not to mention that the whole insurance game in the United States is crazy at best.   So, I begin the search for chiropractic help.  Then the message came along with a great chiropractor that physical exercise would or could help the arm.   Not to mention that use of my legs was in such decline that I was unable to lift my body out of a simple chair.  This was a gloomy time for me.......But the awakening bells went off and I realized that this little lady here needed physical therapy and exercise in the worst way.   I could no longer face the falsehood that this was just the way it was,  I knew that the body could heal itself and I had ignored all of the signs.

I have recovered about 75% of the use of my arm and equally the pain has diminished about equally as well.  I can go sometimes all day without focusing on the pain.   I am amazed how my denial and the false "truth" that remained hung around me until I was ready.  This concept of false truth can remain with us for a lifetime until we are ready to make better choices.  Prayer plays an important part with all of this "mud bog" of denial.  When we ask for help it is always there and ready to serve us well.  Our spirit guides and yes we all have them are always around to assist us and keep us moving forward within the spiritual cycle of life.  To deny this "truth" that I use is possibly the biggest mistake that we all make.  We believe that "we" are the only beings and are totally alone in life.  Yes, we are alone, but think about it.......your spirit "guides" are always there for the asking. 

Why Change? New Energy/ New Age

  Most of us will ultimately accept that life is change.  Most will even argue that change can be exciting, and fun.  New age change is going to be at best a challenge for all of us.  Why?  Because we always think that it is okay for everyone else, but not us.   Sorry to say, but all of us are going to have to enjoy this ride.  And some of it is not going to be, " a piece of cake".   Change prepares us for the forthcoming events.  I am not sure of this one, but I am certain that this change is going to equal that of Atlantis and the changes that came from multitudes of disasters.  Okay, for those that are reading this little article you have already asked the question when?  My response to that answer is that none of us are to know.  Not even those who report that they do.  Part is for our protection, and the other part is that  it is Nature's big secret.   We will all  be where we are supposed to be when the time comes. 

 I can tell you only what I have been told.  The changes have already begun.   The changes are leading us to a totally different way of existence that we have never before thought about.  These changes are to put us in a much more agriculture or natural state of existence.  The knowledge is not going away, but how we treat others and what we value as important will totally bring us into harmony with nature, and a better and wiser understanding of  the God Energy. 

I am also sure of another change.  People will no longer use "white lies" or untruthful ways in order to communicate with one another.  It simply won't work.  Evidence of this has begun.  Check me out, but has it occurred to any of you that our political leaders are constantly being called out on their failure to not be truthful to the general public?  Of course, we are all described as the "little people".  I find that humorous as I am not little, nor am I ignorant.   I can figure out what is going on without some "trusted politician" trying to conjure up a method to deceive his constituents in order to qualify his or her existence in the political system.  You see,  everyone of us has the tendency to protect their "turf", and that even goes for the leaders or heads of state  of all of the countries.  None of these souls are in charge of the outcome of these events that will happen, and none has the power to stop the God energy. 

Now that I have given this little advice, I cannot say for sure how much time before the total change or total collapse.   My guess is enough for all of us to get our affairs in order and learn how to get along with one another.  This is an opportunity none other that I know of except to say that it is the opportunity to become promoted to a spiritual level unlike any other.   How to do this?  Clean us your own actions with your own bad habits, and  allow others to have their own beliefs, walk their own paths, and try not only getting along, but learning something from each other.   (This was the test of the different races which was to learn how to accept one another and not to harm each other simply because of a different way of celebrating our Higher Power)

Barter will become much more popular as well as healing our selves.  For each of us that have had challenges with health, myself included, we are all learning how to rely upon our own spiritual guides and make the choices necessary in order to heal.   This is difficult.  The body knows how to heal itself, but I will say it is not a 10 day process, sometimes the healing takes time.  Remember we stand on a tripod to maintain health which is a balance in spiritual, physical, and mental.  All three must coordinate so that good health prevents disease (dis ease)

Relationships either in business or sexual will become much easier and  life will be much happier for all.  We will revert to a more monogamous culture with sex, and learn to enjoy it as sex never was intended to be evil.  Multi partners are not particularly good as disease can spread rapidly.  Multiple partners is never healthy for any good relationship particularly in the idea of trust, and of course health. 

Women will become equal to men.  Of course, we have always been, but todays culture has just begun to recognize that the last several thousand years have been hard for women.  As we say, the energy is now about to shift. 

Home Life/ Chaos or Serenity

Most of young couples work, and as a result leave much of the house to a "no plan at all plan". 

I was a stay at home mom and now I proudly display the fact that I truly am the last of the home bodies protecting what we once called the nest.  I do not object to any of us working outside of the home.  But what we have created for the most part in this United States is a chaos gone rampant with the children.  This article is hoping to open your eyes up to the tidal wave that is forthcoming with this new generation. 

Often I am ask, "what is my destiny?"  and there they are with a family of 5 children.  The answer is fairly simple.  For now, it is to direct the children to a healthy way of living, teach them the spiritual laws, and  of course make the "nest" an  important environment for them to live.   Another way to state what I am trying to define here is teach your children how to fly and survive.   That is destiny for now in a nut shell.  It is difficult because even for me it was the hardest job ever.  Not difficult to do, but a nightmare of frustration on the mental games that went on in my own head.  For me, it was difficult to daily deal with a young mind, and not have adult inter action with other friends.  This, for me was the hardest task of all.  I loved my children, but I too needed a break from the,  "Captain Kangaroo sect".    And, like most of you, I too did not really want to hear that teaching our children was the most important job of all, why, this was too mundane, too simple,  I wanted the BIG PICTURE.   Sorry, learn to teach the truth, do the next right thing, treat others with kindness, understand the law of karma.  You do that and home life will become much easier. 

Now for the feng shui of it all.   For the majority of young Americans ( I can't speak for the rest of the world), but for us we are not paying attention to the home environment.    Usually young couples want to create good energy.  The simple truth is that the home is like that of a crystal.  It absorbs all of the thoughts that are created within the family.  Sooooo, if there is screaming, fighting, drinking, drugging within the house for the intuitive we feel the energy long before we enter the "twilight zone".   Children are very intuitive and it is amazing what they are able to endure in this land of chaos that exist all over the United States.   Not to mention the violent games, movies, and videos that they are all watching.  Where do you think that stuff goes?  I'll give you a hint, it goes to the nearest demented mind to recreate the same scene.   A thought is a thing.  Do not allow your children to live in such a chaotic nightmare that violence seems normal to them.  Stop the insanity now and save a life as well as a soul.    Once I attended a lecture given by the Dali Llama.  He was asked, "how do we stop the war?'.   His answer a simple one,   "Stop the war from within".   Teach this simple truth, and practice this truth and oh my, " Peace on Earth Good Will Toward Men". 

Change Your Life and Change Your Aura

Once getting past being able to see energy around us at all times.  Some of you will be able to discern what that energy tells others.  It can reveal depression, sexual desire,  how you might or might not be thinking, and on and on.  The auric energy even shows disease ( imbalance before it manifest within the body)

The absence of auric energy is that death is eminent, provided these choices are that of the soul.   In suicide for example depression shows its warning sign to me by a dark cloud present within the auric energy.   The depression can usually be witnessed as the soul has gone "within" so to speak and becomes quite while usually choosing not to participate  in life.  I might add that the colors are not as vibrant and could show a slight degree of dullness.   I have only witnessed one example that resulted in suicide, but  I do not believe myself to be an authority here.   However, I have seen such an example, and read some of the Cayce readings about auric energy and color.   I am giving your my experience on this subject, that is not to say your situation with reading auras could be slightly different from mine. 

Much of what I was taught about color while in the University of Texas I believe to be true.   I was in  the class of Marion B Davis who was a noted professor on the subject of color, and I might add the most interesting professor.  Living in color which is clear, vibrant, and usually warm in its intensity has a wonderful effect upon those in that particular habitation.  Although red is often too strong for a room and can create anger.  Color can also, according to Ms. Davis, convince those living within the room that it is either hot or cold depending upon the coolness or warmness of the color selected.  ( I am referring to the hue of the color)  Just recently, an article appeared that many penal systems use the color pink for living quarters as it generally has a calming effect for the prisoners.   Many metaphysical souls believe that pink spiritually is representative of love. 

The duller the color, the more negative is the energy.   Gray and brown are considered negative colors.  That does not mean that all bad things are getting ready to attract to the soul, but it does in fact encourage that when wearing either gray or black you should enhance the dress or slack with a bright colored scarf or tie.   All hue or color vibrates at different speeds depending upon the color.  Red is a slower vibration than say yellow.  Different vibrations are different energies arriving to the body with signals or messages that pertain to the color associated with the location in which these energies are sent.  These energies for example are all of the cells in the physical body that use the God energy to exist and communicate in order for us to live.   Often colors that we select to wear on particular days are chosen to give an added boost to the auric energy. 
 
Do your research on the colors of the Kundalini this information can easily be obtained on line or in your favorite book store.   Acupuncture works with specific energies and vibrations to enhance bodily functions for good healthy balance, some acupuncturist even use crystals to aid in the healing process.    When looking at the auric color you will be able to see these energies at work.  White of course is all color, while black is absorption of all color.  Of course the auric energy of Jesus was always shown with a white aura. 

Science is beginning to recognize that different colored lights help with healing.  This will one day be used to a greater extent than now.  We have much to learn about spiritual healing and actually we have just begun.

So what can we learn from what I have written, if you don't like your life change the way you think, interact with others, and behave within the general laws of love which are harmony, balance, love, and caring for others as well as yourself.  Then.....watch your auric energy glow and bring good things to you by the law of attraction.      

Attraction is a Journey or How I Discovered the Lesson of Attraction

I was in my forties when my journey to find another choice began.  Like all of you, I had read everything and thought that I was ready to embark upon finding my mate.   These little adventures taught me  about life itself and of course what I was attracting. 

My first adventure was with a nice looking gentleman that turned out to have a temper from "hell".  I was extremely attracted to this soul, but realized shortly in the dating cycle that if I stayed it was a matter of time before the anger turned to me.   When you are in the throws of attraction every hormone available in your body is convincing you to stay.  The same was true here, but my intuitiveness kicked in and encouraged me to have the courage to leave.  This was not fun.  Because the death of a relationship no matter how short lived it may be brings up every fear that this will never happen again.  At least that was my experience.  However, knowing what was around the corner with this soul kept me strong enough to close the door on this relationship before I was injured.  (Attraction was, good looking and abusive)

Number two in the ," cycle of search" came with a gentle soul.   He was sweet, kind, and,   without  energy.  My memory was many evenings wondering if he would ever get off of the sofa and join the living.   He contributed nothing to the relationship and that even goes for sex, so this ended rather abruptly as I gently told him that it was time for him to move on.  (Attraction not emotionally available and no sex)

I had not yet become the wiser as my journey continued to look for the perfect soul or "soul mate".  At this point I will confess that I do not believe in soul mates.  We do not attach forever.  We join with people as long as there is a lesson to be learned or shared, and when that time is over, it is time to part.   For me, "til death us do part"  means that when the energy is dead, it is time to leave the relationship.   Number  three and four both came together as a dueling duo.   Both were fun to be around, both were smart, but hidden beneath the lines were addiction  and emotionally unable to connect.   Number three, I met at church and he was a cocaine addict as well as a dealer.  Number four was an exercise nut. "control freak" extraordinaire,  and both were emotionally unavailable.  I turned them both down at about the same time.  (attraction abusive with control, emotionally unavailable, no sex at all, and addictive disorders)

I had had three years of bad experiences and at about this time, I realized that it was me that was attracting this mess.  I was devastated and knew that I had a problem.   It was shortly afterward that I decided to give up alcohol and work upon myself.  I knew that  I had to changed but even though I thought that I had all of the answers, I was still continuing to attract the same mess.   I entered the doors of recovery.   I had surrendered and although I felt hopeless, I began my journey that totally changed my life.  

It is said that when you begin working upon your own issues, you need a time of silence to discover who you are.   I sat in the rooms of recovery for about 18 months before the "fireworks" started.   Even now after 21 years of marriage,   I remain steadfast to this suggestion that was given to me.  It take about a minimum of  12 months to change one's vibration before any of us are able to sustain a workable relationship.   Believe me,  I tested this theory many times while in recovery, and it was God's Grace that kept me idle and alone.  Tried as I did, no one was around.   Until one evening, I realized that the man who had been sitting around me this whole time, my friend, and confidant, was to become my husband.   Our agreement was simple.   You use drugs marriage over,  you may not take my inventory or try to change me,  acceptance of who I am warts and all is imperative.  It will not work if you try to change me so don't, and last allow me to worship the God of my choosing without your advice.   We are still having a good time.

Locating the "Soul Mate"

All of us have similar journeys.  Like all of us, we want the shortest way with the perfect path.  I too was the same way in regard to looking for a better mate.    We believe that once we read  new information, we think that we " have it, or understand it".  Nothing could be farther from the truth.  You have to apply what you have learned and put it into practice.   This is the spiritual truth of everything learned.  We must practice what we preach or, as we say in therapy, " you have to walk the walk, not just talk the talk".   I was told  I would be tested several times before the right person came along.  So sitting here, I thought that I would tell you my story and perhaps you might learn from my experience.  And begin the "art of practice". 

I have written often that first you must develop the list.    There are two list,  one is positive, and the other is negative.  You must have two list.  Begin with the negative which is all of that you do not want to have.  Your learned all of these traits from your parents, and that is what you have attracted in all of the subsequent relationships.  So start with all that you didn't like about your mother and father (or those that you lived with in your formative years) and create your list.  Here was  my list.  They were controlling,  critical, perfectionist, and punishing to the point that created a fear which developed into panic attacks, alcoholic and last co-dependent, as well as emotionally abusive.  Your list could be similar.  But it is up to you to write it down and look at it.  Because all of your previous relationships are on that list.    The positive list are those aspects that you should want in a relationship.  Such examples are, trust, the ability to earn a living,  a good partner that treats you with respect, that that does not rage and rant, one that tolerates and accepts the other for who they are.  I could go on and on here, but you should be able to create exactly what you are looking for in a partner. 

With my story, I attracted a good combination of both my mother and father.  It was comfortable for me as it was familiar.  So it took a long time for me to even understand that this relationship was not working.   My part in the attraction was simply this,  I attracted to that which was familiar, it felt normal, and made total sense.  Had I attracted to where I am today, I would have bolted to the door.  Where I am today and from what I have learned is nothing like what I was.    Today, I have boundaries,  I am able to stand up and tell the truth even to the point of accepting the fact that others might disagree with me.  I have a balanced relationship based upon love and respect.   My mate today has the right to disagree with me without fear of reprisal.   I accept that it is okay to get angry, it is not okay to rage.  And above all everything is open and discussed.  This is not easy to find in a relationship.  It is a journey on your part to become perfectly honest within yourself as to what you want.  It is not my job to find that soul, but yours.  Until you walk this path, you can choose to attract the same thing or learn to put down what you do not want to live with and continue looking until that soul emerges.  It is truthfully up to you.  God gave us the choice, now use it to find what you want. 



 

The Karmic Wheel of Change and All of Us

Nothing slams us down more than the loss of something,  perhaps a job, a death in the family, or in my case right now a broken foot.   Just like the advice that I give to you, I too have to  swallow  my pride and take advice both from outside sources such as doctors and friends, as well as spiritual advice  from the spirit guides.  Everything that I write about is a lesson.  For me having to sit still is one of the most difficult task as sitting in one place and doing nothing is very difficult.  Here, at least I can work at the desk. 

When this accident happened,  I resorted to lesson number one.  Life is one continuum of lessons, this little accident jumped out to teach me a few things.  Understand something, it took me a long spiritual journey to understand the concept of lessons, but I am beginning to tap into the idea that we experience many lessons daily, and attempting to understand and see the meaning of a lifetime takes a little wisdom for  all of us, especially even me.

We attract everything to us according to our thoughts, and if there is one idea or concept that you understand it is to understand that your mind is the mainframe to the God energy.  The clearer your mind the better the input of energy, and the stronger the spiritual growth.  But the awareness of what we are all of us are learning comes with patience and time.  Do not put your "Jesus" shoes on so fast that you miss the boat.

The basic lesson is that life will continue to change, and your choice is to either learn from this change or roll on with the same karmic wheel of action and repeat the same thing over and over and over.  This thought was an absolute bummer for me, but somewhere in my soul I knew this truth was real or real for me.  This concept of repetition was the driving force that showed me the choice of quitting the habit of smoking and drinking or continuing to go down the same path.  The results of these habits are not particularly pleasant, but continue them if you will.....Just look at the final results with the aging process. 

Many of the solutions of life come from working the twelve step process.  What did I learn?  essentially that I was not large and in charge  and that that every gift, including the repetition cycle, was a gift from my Higher Power to either learn from the lesson or continue the same path.  Bad relationships come from the choices that we made to either stay with or repeat.   Likewise bad health habits are the same.  To have good health depends upon healthier choices, and not relying on some prescription pill to mask the problem.  Your body is your temple.  Treat it with respect.
