Releasing Attachments

It could be a person, an object, a set of circumstances that we have desired to attract and have in our lives. It could be we have already received these gifts, it could be we have received these gifts and circumstances take these gifts away from us, and we wonder, how can this be? How can something that i wanted so much be taken away from me?

Attachments we make with persons, objects and circumstances are the subconscious usage of the aforementioned as alternative sources of energy. Sometimes they provide such powerful sources of positive energy that we forget that these are are alternative sources of energy and these sources of energy are exhaustible.

On the other hand, there is the Universe in its infinite vibration and love, capable of filling every single consciousness in the galaxy to the point of ecstatic joy and STILL remain infinite. Each and every one of us, has the natural inborn ability to tap into the Universe and partake of this infinite overflowing. Nothing else can provide for you that which your soul craves other than this unconditional infinite love that the Universe has for each and every one of its conscious beings.

If you can see this, you will know that you will always be fulfilled, that what you want will come to you effortlessly. It is all about the LOVE. It truly is something to get excited about. It is the very functioning of this Universe. Ever-flowing, ever-evolving, filling, giving, teaching. The Universe is there for you. It is your very best friend, ready for this eternal communion with you, for you to realise your intergration within it.

Blessings and joy always,

Asu

A Few Words on Self Worth.

Know that you are worth every ounce of happiness you wish to receive in your life. Know that you are worth the effort, that you are worth the distance. If you are aware of who you are and what you are, no one can take that away from you.

KNOW that you deserve the great gifts of the Universe to manifest in your life. Know that you deserve the right circumstances in your life to come about, attracting the right people.

And when you get it, when this gift is handed to you, accept it with gratitude.

Making Peace with Pain

Sometimes, when things don't go the way we want or how we planned, there is bitter disappointment and emotional pain. In the midst of all our angst, we wonder what we did wrong, or why others did to us what they did.

Although we cannot pretend to enjoy the hurt and pain that might find its way into our lives, we can make peace with it. When we make peace with something instead of fighting against the pain of it, we remove from it the power to hurt us.

Sometimes it is very hard to see the big picture when so much or so little is going on in our lives. But, if we know what we want, and trust that the Universe is working for us in bigger and higher ways to bring us the things we truly want in our lives and hold fast to the faith that our true heart's desire will manifest in the best time and best way possible, we are not longer a prisoner to that which we perceived as pain.

The Law of Attraction : working it

The law of attraction states that if we hold in our mind images of what we wish to receive and release our wishes to the universe, we can expect to get what we want. Often people will focus on specific persons or deliveries in order for their wishes to come true.

In order not to limit the law of attraction, we must know what we want release it to the Universe but give the Universe free reign in fulfilling it for us. That is not to say we cannot ask for specific things. We can ask for specific things but we must relinquish our attachments to specific results. We cannot ask for things that may interfere with the freedom and choice of others to ask for things.

If you expect your heart's desire to be fulfilled in very specific way as prescribed by you, you are forgetting one important thing. The free will and freedom of others. If you want to be in a happy fulfilling relationship and you set about to attracting it, if you specify to the Universe that this is the exact person that will embodify the happy fulfilling relationship that you are looking for, you are tying the Universe's hands. We do not always know the best ways, we lack omnipotence.

This is where trust comes in. If you send out a request to the Universe, say you want to be happy and you trust and allow the Universe to come up with whats best for you, you will find that you will receive it. Two people wanting different things will never be attracted to each other, even if at least one of them thinks that being together is the result they want.

So open up your heart to the gifts of the Universe, trust in it and receive your heart's desire.
See the joy in everything.

The Battle Against Fear

Fear is perhaps the most insidious form of negative energy that we will come up against in our journey to freedom. It can eat at the very core of our soul, sucking out any form of happiness that we could have. When we are children, we are told many times, "don't be afraid", what did that phrase mean? DO NOT BE AFRAID. I know what it does not mean pretending that your fear does not exist. It does not mean sweeping issues under the carpet.

When u were a kid and were learning to ride a bike and you got your training wheels taken off for the first time. There was always the fear that you couldn't keep that balance, that you would lose control of the steering and when you did, it would hurt. Did that stop you? You got on that bike, and u pedalled. When you did fall it did hurt, but you did not let your fear of falling and scraping some skin stop you from the sheer joy of riding that bike and feeling the wind through your hair.

Now as adults, we often forget the simple lessons we learnt in our childhood. We forget that its ok to be afraid and that being brave does not mean you are not afraid but that you are willing to proceed despite being afraid. Thats what facing your fear is all about. It is about embracing your fear and letting it surround you and letting it take you to its deepest depths, and while you are there squaring off against it, you do not let it claim the love that you have in your heart. You remain steadfast and faithful against it.

It is only through the deepest depths of sorrow that we can experience the highest joy.

Crossroads and the leap of faith.

Sometimes in life, we are brought to a crossroad and all you want is to know which path is the "right" path for you. More often than not it is a difficult decision that defies all logic. If we lived by logic alone may be less complicated but we may miss the high points of the human condition.

What is my life about? I ask myself this question many many times. Again and again like a broken record that grates painfully on my psyche and soul. A few days ago, i read some material relating to soulmaps and our horoscopes. How as we are born into each configuration we are set up to learn the lessons associated with those cosmic configurations. When i read my birth chart and the material associated to it, as much as i have in the past enjoyed being a skeptic, i cannot deny how it has me pinned, much more than i'd like. I did not like the inferences to the lessons i had to learn. I felt slightly indignant and well justified that i was the way that i was. i felt that i was doing everything i could in my life to try to propel it forward at a good pace.

Lately, i had been faced with a situation that i did not know what to do. I did not know what would be the "right" thing. Was the right thing the "easy" thing? Was the right thing the obvious thing to do. I agonised over this for a very long time. i tried very hard to look for indicators and markers as to what direction would be best to proceed. There simply were none. I looked at the lessons in my life at this point of time that had come to my attention. They were the big ones..... "Fear of abandonment", "Over analysis and a need for trust in situations involving other people." It dawned on me that the easy way was always to abandon before i was abandoned and this does not necessarily mean physically, especially in situations where i was suspicious and could find no indicators or markers as crutches to mitigate my suspicion. Yes, i'm a Scorpio.

This morning when i woke up, i knew i had a decision to make internally. I listened to my heart. It gave me a very non-logical answer. Something that seemed to me undeniably scarey. What if my heart was wrong? What would happen to me then? I decided that i would face up to my fears, i would make myself vulnerable to them. I would not run from the situation by means of focusing on higher purposes in life, being emotionally detached from things and the like, i would face the blackbull. I would not plan my escape route. Whether what i fear, comes to pass or not is irrelevant, the important thing is that i allow the possibility of the pain of it coming to pass. What may be like 100mph beeline towards emotional suicide is the true meaning of TRUST. What turns the key in the ignition is what we commonly term as FAITH. If this is the only way for me to face my fear and learn my lessons then this is the way it has to be.

I do not know whether there is a pot of anything at the end of this rainbow.... i do not know what will happen. All i know is if i do not face my fears, they will plague me for the rest of this life and any others i might have. Until i truly learn to face my fears i will never truly live.

We cannot change the hand we are dealt but we can choose how we play that hand.-R. Pausch.

When Nothing Matters

The truth of the matter is, nothing matters. Not who you are, where you are, what you are, what you are doing, what you are eating, what you are thinking. Nothing matters. Not love nor joy nor happiness. They are all mere illusions. They do not exist. Pain does not matter, of the heart and of the body. What you will eat for your next meal does not matter. Whether you are alone or amongst people does not matter. What you will wear or where you will go, none of this matters.

It does not matter if your lover has left you. It does not matter if what you once embraced as truth has now been reduced in reality to lies. It does not matter when all the plans for your life seem to have been destroyed in a single night. Nothing matters.

Dis-illusionment. The removal and absence of illusion. The realisation that it doesnt matter. It is the next step to true freedom. The removal of the burden of emotion, the need for love and acceptance, the need for companionship, the need for money for security for every tangible human want. Any emotional pain that you might feel is a result of an attachment to things. Once nothing matters, the pain simply dissolves slowly and you are truly free. You see, it does not matter if you will live or die in the next 10 minutes, next 10 years or next 10 decades. Whatever and whenever it happens it does not matter. It matters not if you are starborn or earthborn, celestial or ethereal, we are all affected by this same law of the universe. NOTHING MATTERS. It matters not if u experience afterlife or if your existence simply extinguishes when you close your eyes for the final time in this one.

True freedom is the state of consciousness in the absence of fear. If nothing matters you do not need to worry where your next meal will come from, what you will do tomorrow or the day after, whether or not you will lose your job or your lover or your house or your car. It is a simple linear process. "If i lose my job, i will either find another or i will not find another." "If i find another job i will have the money to buy food, if i do not find a job i will eventually run out of money and will be unable to buy food." "If i run out of food and other material needs, i will starve and eventually my life in this form will cease." "if it ceases.... does it matter?" But then you might ask, "hunger and starvation are uncomfortable states of existence". However, once hunger doesnt matter, you will cease to feel hungry. Once pain doesn't matter, you will cease to feel the pain. You will no longer be living within the confines of your physical body. You will be one further step to being truly free.

Everyday, people all over fight their way trying to preserve and find "happiness". Almost as if it is something that can be achieved. Happiness, hope, joy, they are all feelings. Similarly people fight to stay away from feelings of unhappiness, "disillusionment", depression, sadness, abandonment." These too are feelings. Feelings are simply self-inflicted responses, chemical or reactive as a result of enviromental or self-induced circumstances. We are all searching for one and the same thing. We are looking for the sense of euphoria. Although euphoria can be obtained through reaching goals, ie. finding that special someone, getting that dream job, buying that dream house, winning that lottery. These feelings are never permanent. They are simply fixes. People go to churches/temples, pray and sing songs of praises to feel close to the divine. To be filled with a positive energy. That too is temporary. However, the euphoria of being free is indefinite.

When nothing matters, you are free. Truly free. It does not matter if you are alive or you face death or have passed it. It does not matter if anyone loves you or if everybody hates you. It does not matter how people have treated you, it does not matter if your body is fat or thin, healthy or facing disease. Nothing mattering is the true meaning of "going with the flow". That whatever happens happens. Que serra serra. Living in the absence of stress and in true freedom. "Don't worry be happy". Why? Cus nothing matters.

Acceptance

A common question you here often is one that questions the purpose of our existence on this planet. There are no obvious answers. Many religions provide us with possible answers but at the end of the day, if we were to be honest with our souls and sit down and think about it quietly, you might come to the realisation that we are here because we are.

We are here to learn to be free. We are here to learn the true meaning of joy. One that cannot be conjured up by manipulating outcomes to situations. We are here to find the true joy of existence. True joy does not exist in accomplishments, in possessions, in being a certain person or with being a certain person. True joy is true liberation that can only be achieved when desire ceases. Reasonably enough, you might wonder that if a person ceases to have desires, wouldn't that be the same thing as losing one's will to live? A receipe for depression? To the contrary......

There is a slight difference with a desiring death (an outcome) and not desiring anything at all. When you desire nothing, life or death has no bearing on you. If you happen to be alive, cool. If you happen to be dead, well your dead, thats cool too. But then you might also ask, if a person ceases to desire things, doesn't that mean that they do not care about anything or the people around them? The truth of the matter is, you can cease to care about things and people around you, but it does not mean that you are free of desire. When you are free of desire, you care about everything and yet nothing. In essence, you cease to try to create outcomes of things but rather, you accept all things. It is this acceptance that frees you from desire and the performance of all tasks. It is desire that taints our thoughts. It is desire that creates feelings such as fear and the need to control and fight life's circumstances. Once u are able to free yourself of all desires, you are then able to serve as a vessel for pure love and joy, all conditions and need for specific outcomes cease.

What is pure love? what is pure joy? Pure love is the acceptance of everything without condition. Of any person, of all persons. Pure joy is the sense of euphoria you experience when in this state of being. How to get there? In essence, it is simple. When nothing matters, you are able to love everything because it is in our nature to love.

Cessation of Desire : The Answer to everything

Perhaps you now think that i have finally lost it. However, on a micro/macro scale, it is the pursuit of happiness that causes us to fail in its permanent capture. People go to war because of desire. A desire to manufacture a certain outcome. Theft, robbery murder..... why? because people WANT things and are so overcome by desire that it propels them to act on it. Desire creates actions of passion. Desire is lust in a different wrapping. So you might say, "should you not desire the good things in life? what about dreams? what about your relationships?"

The key to all of this is the recognition that a lack of desire does not equate to indifference. They may appear similar on some levels. A person who is indifferent simply doesn't care. A person who lacks desire simply accepts unconditionally and is at peace with everything. What would happen if people started accepting the world as it is unconditionally? Wars would cease, crime would be extinct, people would all get along. Would we become a world inhabited by depressives? Absolutely not. We would be a world inhabited by higher beings capable of unconditonal acceptance and as a result, unconditonal love. A world without stress, the stress of controlling outcomes and hence a world that will be filled with beings blessed with growing compassion for each other.

The end to desire would mean the end to dis-eases. The end to addictions where one can say, "Cigarettes don't matter " or "Food doesn't matter". Food abuse would cease to exist. The majority of modern diseases are created by abuse of some kind. Removing desire means the removal of the need to abuse substances, food, situations and ultimately yourself. Falling stress levels would bring a huge drop in stress related illnesses. People are able to heal and with them, their relationships.

Cessation in desire would see a huge refurbishment of the world economy. The desire for wealth and status once removed would see a redistribution of resources to furnish the needs of all physical beings. The world economy as we know it today would crash, but it wouldn't matter, needs would change. You might ask, would that not create a world of lazy people who because nothing matters sit around and do nothing all day? Well, a lack of desire does not equate to a lack of purpose. Once u are able to flip that switch, your view on this world, everything contained within it and your life will change. You will see true purpose. You will work towards this purpose happily but ofcource, the outcome of what you are working towards, does not matter.

Living Unconditionally : Heaven on Earth and whereever else

Wouldn't it be great if someone told you that such a thing as a perfect, whole love ever existed? That it was the most powerful source of energy in the entire Universe, that it had the ability to change lives. Yours and those around you and beyond. That it is in the energy field of this love that a glimpse of what we could possibly term as heaven. What if someone told you that heaven was within each and every one of us. Living in the freeflow of the purest form of energy. That all that we have seeked and pursued throughout eternity from generation to generation was found not "Out There" but within ourselves, each and everyone of ourselves, perhaps u would term me an idealist or plain and simply silly.

The words Unconditional Love, should not be taken lightly. Whether it is that you seek it or that you see to give it, be conscious of one thing. Unconditional love cannot take place in the absence of pain, suffering and sacrifice. If it is these things that you desire, know that you are in for a ride. Without conditions, there cannot be unconditional anything. The conditions that you must overcome is the price that you must pay to learn and complete this lesson.

A New Dawn

"How can a single person change the world", you might ask "or even a small group of individuals?". The truth of the matter is. You don't. You don't personally change the world. So much blood has been shed and loss has been brought about by individuals and organised groups seeking to change the world. It is reasonable to consider everything i have said and feel that the "single" person YOU cannot make a **** of difference in the world. If we were to go onto the street of any city, major or minor and conduct a survey on the subject of "does the world need change?" Realistically speaking there would be an overwhelming "YES". But along with the outpouring of affirmatives would come as many varied opinions as the number of people you might have asked. "Taxes should be lowered", "our governments should do more", "what about the hole in the sky?". Given that there are as many opinions as there are people (at least), whose opinions are the most important then?

The answer, on a universal level is, none of them are important. The point i am trying to make is, your opinions and feelings are personal to you. They may find common ground with others but truly they are yours and yours alone and even should you locate and organize a group of individuals that share similar beliefs and opinions and succeed in pressurising decision makers to create some kind of change in your perceived reality, you will not have changed the firm beliefs and opinions of the other members of your social enviroment who may not have agreed to the changes but nonetheless live with it. In a world with competing wants and needs, it is theoretically impossible in the absence of infinite resources (including time itself) to fill everyone's desires.

However amidst this sea of impossibilities and limited resources there lies on very real possibility. That is... you are in control of your own reality. No one else's. The choices and decisions you make can effect your own reality with one small but perhaps inconvenient catch. They must not depend on the reality of others. ......

Giving It All Up

Since we were children, we have tried to control and manipulate situations and their outcomes, trying unconsciously but nonetheless desperately to fulfill the needs that are burning deep within ourselves. We tried to control our parents and other caregivers. They inturn returned the favour and tried to control us. Some of us ran from these situations, others continue to live within these situations. To some these situations are a means of security because they do not know any different and being free of these situations might mean a life of unknown circumstance.

We can only begin to live out our true destiny when we allow ourselves to be carried along life's natural path without any engineering of our own. If we are able to cease all our attempts in gaining and maintaining control of our own destinies, we are able to start living the one that was laid down for us, before this life even started. If we are able to trust that the Universe, has in store for us a life of freedom, abundance and ultimately happiness and give up our individual wrestling matches with fate and each other, we would find ourselves on a superhighway of divine guidance headed to a life of never before experienced freedom and euphoria.

So give up that person, that obsession for financial security, the need for a linear streamlined life plan and embrace the idea that maybe, the Universe does know better. Let all these "must haves" in your life go and perhaps they will return, perhaps not. If you release your heart's desire to the Universe and it is meant to be, you will get what is duely yours. If not, rest assured that there is something better out there for you, something more in line with enriching your life. Instead of constantly focusing on what you want and what you are not getting, try instead to be open to what the Universe does give you and slowly, day by day, your life as it was meant to be will unfold infront of you like turning over a pack of cards.

Solitary Solidarity

One must be able to stand alone and make that journey alone before the path of worthy companions are crossed. No one can make that journey towards ascension for you. No one can teach it to you. You must be the volition that makes each of the steps. You must want it. You must desire it more than anything else in the world. If you desire more to lead a life of luxury in the style of your choosing, or to have something else, your focus is not upon your ascension but rather your energies are channelled towards these distractions that are a poor substitute for true freedom and happiness.

By and by the Universe will reveal to you the truth of your condition and you will inevitably see past the things that you once termed a source of your happiness or future happiness and seek to find true freedom and happiness within yourself. Your ascension is not dependent on who you are in life or what you achieve this life time. Your ascension is dependent on the elevated state of your consciousness. It is like a woman in labor. As the labor nears, the contractions become more and more pronounced, stronger and more painful. A parallel situation maybe observed with the human history of this world. On a global level, the contractions have come more frequently by way of human conflicts and natural disasters.

More and more people are waking up each day to a need to seek out something more. Life as offered up by television and magazines are no longer sufficient to distract ourselves from our true need of aligning ourself with the Universe. People will come to a realisation that Universal energy is more than simply a means of how they acquire things that they want. It in itself is what they want. The ultimate prize.

The movie "The Secret" was marketed in a way to show that Universal energy was a magic lamp that granted wishes if you rubbed it in the right way, and although being able to acquire things at will may seem very attractive at first for us to begin to change our thoughts and align it to this easier way, we learn eventually that it is the communing with the Universal Source that is the true unlimited source of our power. Our power to be happy and contented.

The old adage, "Money cannot buy happiness". If your desire was for the Universe to bring you more wealth or that special person, your soul mate perhaps, and you received it. The Universe will not simply stop that and allow you to be lulled into the illusion that this is the ultimate high in life that is achievable for you. If you are unable to find the happiness from within yourself, the happiness and satisfaction from these things will be short lived.

If you start to place your security and happiness within money or someone else, the ever fluid Universe will rearrange itself to free you from that illusion, as unwilling as you are to be freed from it. This may be experienced as boredom in your life where all forms of distraction and entertainment become more and more shortlived, your restlessness is increases as you want for something more. Your relationships may become more and more dissatisfactory as the Universe works at showing you that these things are not the answer for the lack that you feel. And how it may hurt. It may even bring you to your knees in the hope that in all this pain and despair that you feel, you will begin to see the lessons.

The Universe does not wish to cause us pain nor does it wish to not cause us pain. It simply does what it has to in order to get us from point A to point B in hopefully the shortest time possible and turn what seems to be a momentary negative into a permanent positive. In order to get there, you must free yourself from everything yet give up nothing. Accept the set of circumstances that the Universe has arranged for you but free yourself from the perceived pain of it.

This may be the easiest thing you have done in your life and at the same time the hardest thing. But with this, you are able to turn your life around and end the lack and want that you feel that seems so insatiable and eventually satisfy the need to ascend and finally go home back to your spiritual reality. The world changes whenever someone changes themself.

COMPASSION : The Twin Sister of Love

Unconditional love has been very much a hot topic over the passage of time. It is the substance that we all seek, it is the state which we all strive to achieve. There are many definitions of what unconditional love is. Some of them construe it as the necessity of accepting and embracing situations of possible abuse upon oneself. Although it may appear very grey, there is a fine but very clear line between martyring and unconditional love. One cannot love unconditionally if one does not love one's self. But what does that mean? At this point, many of us will be sent into a tailspin of confusion. "But but, how can i love myself and yet accept this most unsatisfactory situation that the Universe has so kindly bequeathed unto me?" Yes, in a world such as this in its present condition, there is inevitably an ongoing competition of wants and needs in all relationships. Parent-child, spouses, friends, bosses-employees etc. It is almost tempting to personify unconditional love as being the unconditional doormat. However, there is one flaw. If one is an unconditonal doormat, one must certainly feel stepped on and possibly even rough trodden. How can one be happy? If you are not in a state of bliss, how then are you able to receive and channel the Universal energy of unconditional love? Where is this energy coming from? It is clear that any universal doormat would be giving of themselves energetically. If the energy is not coming from the Universal source, it must be coming from their own limited supply. It is no wonder that the unconditional doormat, in time will feel drained of energy and self-esteem. They may start to feel that after all they pour into a relationship they receive nothing in return to buffer or refresh their supplies and after time may result in their becoming bitter and disgruntled. How should we avoid being these doormats? It can sometimes be a huge dilemma. If i do this yes i am loving myself but what if so-and-so feels hurt as a result of my actions. In difficult situations, self love often manifests in a glaring necessity that we need to take some sort of defensive stance, if not action. An example of this would be to remove yourself from the situation that is not the best for you. You then question yourself repetitively wondering if your actions will have a negative impact on the person you purport to love unconditionally. "What if they need me?" " I promised i'll always be there." Wedged between a rock and a hard place, you are then faced with either extricating yourself from a difficult situation and possibly hurting the other person(s) or living with the present circumstances and hoping for an early release from this life time.

It is impossible to love anyone unconditionally without loving yourself unconditionally first. What does this mean? It means that inorder to channel unconditional love in any way shape or form, you must first prima facie, be a receptacle of this unconditional love that flows so freely from the Universal Source. Applying this practically in a difficult situation may require several steps. Before proceeding further, I would like to highlight the possibility of an alternative to a defensive stance. One of compassion. Compassion is not condescendance nor is it pity. Compassion manifests in the heart like a soft glowing fire. It creates a buffer between you and the difficult situation. Through the eyes of compassion you will see and understand the pain behind the actions. Any potentially hurtful actions or non-actions by the person or situation cannot pass through this protective dome of fiery light. As a result you will be still be able to love those that may not love you back or even those that continually hurt you. However a word of caution. Unconditional love never seeks to control others nor outcomes. Any quest for control renders it conditional. So live and give freely of yourself. Remember that there is no reward to be had. You may never receive the outcome to a situation that your heart desires. If you do receive anything in return it is a gift. You have already received your reward, it is the state of happiness that you now inhabit. Namaste.

Awaking the Inner Child

As i was growing up, i used to think that unconditional love was something to be achieved. A very noble state of affection for someone to aspire to. It meant always saying yes, perhaps turning the other cheek. As i grew to adulthood, i superimposed this ideal onto my relationships. I thought that it would build the foundation for a stable fulfilling relationship. As time went by i found myself often feeling, hurt, shortchanged and started to feel resigned that perhaps until i found the right person who could love me in the same way, the cycle of pain would continue as i journeyed from one relationship to another. Sometimes i would be filled with frustration and anger and there were times that i thought i was a delusional fool who believed in an impossible ideal.

Then one day in one of the deepest pits of my despair, when i started to question everything including who i was the lesson on unconditional love started to unfold itself and flood my very soul. I started to cry uncontrollably as i felt myself slowly fill up and connect back up to the Universe, and as i did, my heart started to heal.

So what is the deal about unconditional love? It is something that exists in none of us and at the same time, something that exists in all of us. Unconditional love is the pure positive energy that pervades the Universe. It is the entity that we have called God. Throughout the ages, man has always had an inbuilt need to connect with "God". In return they received an energetical high which made them feel fulfilled, happy without which they may feel empty and sad. Many found that unlike other sources of energy, the source of "God" was sustainable, freely available and it was something no one else could "steal" from you if you maintained this connection. This connection has been maintained through meditation, prayer, worship. Whatever medium may have been used, the objective was always the same. It was to maintain communion with the energy mass that we call the Universe.

The point of this is, unconditional love although we are capable of it, does not originate from ourselves. Unconditional love is an inexhaustible energy source that is capable of powering an energetical campaign of your choice. It is not limited to relationships. It is all about living and living in the "flow" of this positive energy source. It is about opening up yourself and allowing yourself to be an unimpeded receptacle for this "love" and after allowing it to fill you up, it overflows and inturn touches those connected to you. Although all sources of positive energy have the capacity to bring us happiness, unless they are powered by a sustainable source, they eventually fade out. This is why things that make us happy when we first obtain them eventually appear less interesting and less desirable after we have had them for awhile. Those are like batteries. The same can be said with relationships. As beings, we all rely on positive energies to thrive, grow and maintain a feeling of well being. In a balanced relationship there is an exchange of energies. Love is an outflow of positive energy in a focus manner to the subject of your choice. In a healthy relationship this positive energy is served and return back and forth like a tennis match keeping the ball in play, and due to synergy energy can be created and shared. However if one party for whatever reason starts omitting to return serves, eventually all the balls, which is the energy in this case gets piled up on one side. The relationship begins to dysfunction.

Although there are many variables in relationships including why things sometimes are less than ideal, we could all apply the following in our personal relationships. Open up yourself to the Universe and allow its unconditonal love to flow into you and to fill you up to the point of overflowing. Try and live everyday like this, it may not always be easy but it has the power to pull you from the darkest moments of your life. Get used to living this way, enjoy being embraced by this inexhaustible source of energy and allow it to power you. As you do so you will notice that the people around you and the people connected to you will start to shift their energy balances too. They will start to take notice, they may even ask you about it. This is what you can do to change your life, the lives of your love ones and the rest of the world. And the best thing about this? Its free. Whoever you are, whatever your financial circumstances, its a take all you want situation. Its worth so much and more and costs nothing. This is what heals you. This is life itself.

I urge you from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, if you feel a void, chances there is a void. You could turn to material possessions or other people to fill that void momentarily with whatever positive energy that is available. But if those are your only sources, they will only hold you out for so long. Try this.. it costs you nothing except a sincerity to open up to the Universe and a willingness to be an open receptacle to the power within. We all have a right to be happy and fulfilled. More importantly, we all have a choice to be happy and fulfilled. Make it happen for yourself. You won't be disappointed.

WANTED : A Road Map to Life

Purpose. What is purpose? There is alot of buzz about the word purpose in all walks of life these days. "A purpose driven life?", "That sounds great, where do i sign up?". Having purpose in life is living with a deliberate direction. You may start to wonder, "thought you said, go with the flow?". Ah yes, i did but that is apart of it. Let us talk about the scale of -10 to 10 again. If you were to ask the same person the same question as to what their purpose in life is at different intervals of the scale, it is very likely that you will get different answers at different points of the scale. Below is an example of states of minds at different points in such a scale. Please bear in mind that the answers may be subjective on a case to case basis and this is just an example.

-10

To die.

-9

To cease to exist. I don't want to wake up anymore

-8

You my or may not identify with the comments on the scale but i think you get the point. When our energy levels are low, instinctively our primary purposes do not extend beyond ourselves. We are focused on survival, where our next shot of good feeling is going to come from, how we can numb this pain we are going through. At this point on the scale, it is common for life to have little or no meaning, we are largely unhappy.

Some of us may not even be aware how unhappy we truly are and those of us who have noticed that we are unhappy may feel so overwhelmed by the hopelessness and the helplessness that all we want to do is to fall asleep and never wakeup because facing up to life itself seems such a challenge which we have no ENERGY to do. The keyword here is ENERGY. How are you ever going to have the energy to do anything if you don't locate a reliable source of it. If you wanna feel good, start to feel happy, repair yourself and finally start to enjoy living the life which you have right now, you need a viable energy source.

As we open ourselves up more and more to the Universe our energy levels increase towards exhiliration, you will find that the purpose for your life will start coming into view. Ask yourself when you are at a 9 or 10 what you truly want in life. Listen to your heart, you will find that the answer will be very straight and clear. Of course there are many routes that can be taken towards a specific goal, but the important thing is, you will have one and it will empower you. If your initial goal is to be truly happy, then work on getting here. Once you have gotten there, the path for your life will be revealed to you.

Happy journeying.

The Power of Choice

"So where do we go from here?" You might ask? My answer would simply be, it is your choice and yours alone. You evolution to a higher consciousness is solely your responsibility. Guides, companions and people that the Universe has lined up for us mean nothing other than lost opportunities if one does not make a choice to take the step forward.

Realistically speaking, there is no staying in the same spot. Not for a single second or even a micro second. We never stay the same, our energies are constantly changing. For everything that you do, you require energy. We get our energy from our enviroment, the food that we eat and the people we interact with. On a scale of -10 thru 0 to +10, even to maintain our energy levels at a +1 level, we require a constant input of energy. Even by doing absolutely nothing and staying in bed you cannot maintain your level of energy without some form of input.

Although you cannot choose the fact that you require energy to live, to survive, to feel fulfilled, you have the power of choice as to your sources. At first sight, it may not seem like not much of a power, but it has the power to change your life and the lives of others connected to you. For the first time you can actually control how you want to feel about your life, the direction you want to take, you can take it maybe from a +1 all the way up to a +10 level of happiness, just my making a simple choice, by letting it flow.

A word of gentle loving caution. Once you have reached a high level of energy, commonly termed as a "high", it becomes similar to an addiction. We were born with this natural attraction to energy sources. Like moths drawn to a bright light. We want to be able to get this high, make it ours and then keep it there on positive levels and never let it dip back to neutral or zero and hopefully never let it fall into negative ratings. Being human and all, realistically speaking, there will be times when we do slip into negativity, where days are dark and difficult. This does not mean that we have failed, this merely means that there are things that we need to do. Look deep into your soul and ask yourself why things happen the way they do. There is always an answer and answers come to those who truly want it and are ready to face them.

Transcending Fear

It has been a common belief since the dawn of time that it is human to be afraid. Fear has been allowed to become such an integral part of our lives, there are times we do not even notice it. It rears its head in a myriad of situations slowly releasing is energetical poisons throughout our systems, shutting down our energy receptors and the ability to receive from the Universal Source and channel it.

Reality forms around our perceptions and beliefs. Like an evershifting conglomeration of puzzle pieces that possess infinite configurations. By allowing fears to block our energy channels and create alternative perceptions for ourselves, we are empowering our fears to form realities. By doing so we start creating conditions for ourselves, our love. "i will love you only if you love me back", why? "because i am afraid that if you do not love me back i will be very hurt." why " because i am afraid of being hurt because it feels really bad."

So to avoid feeling bad we as humans put up barriers for ourselves and which inturn are self-limiting and create conditions that may eventually cause our fears to become a reality. There are methods and ways around that. "i will love you even if you do not love me". Simply put this is unconditional love. But what does unconditional love truly mean? "Cause i am stupid and don't know how to move on."? Truly unconditonal love transcends all possible outcomes to all possible situations.

Some time ago, someone came up with a saying "He who fears nothing loves nothing". That could not be further from the truth. He who truly fears nothing loves everything. How is that possible u might ask? He who prevents himself from loving it really afraid of getting hurt. It is such a person who is still afraid.

If you have fears and take in the love of the Universe which is a floodgate of unconditional love. Let this love carry you and then you will be able to love everything in its entirety. Want nothing, lack nothing.

What is a Soulmate?

Each lifetime provides us with a set of lessons which we must hopefully complete. What we do not complete during this life time, we are most definitely apt to repeat in our next lifetime. Eventually we hope to graduate. Some term this as ascension. Between lifetimes we choose what lessons to undergo, between lifetimes we also choose who we will help act as catalyst for, so they too can learn their lessons. For each event that happens in our life where others are involved, there will almost certainly be a cosmic energy connect. The strongest connection that we have is to our soulmate.

I know that popular culture has taught us to believe that the concept of a soulmate is that perfect other "soul" that was made for you. In essence that is true, however there can be discrepancies in opinion as to what "made for you" is.

Through the many incarnations we have navigated through, we have had to learn many lessons. All these lessons culminate in the single higher purpose of setting us free. When we are truly free, our vibrations can then be raised to its fullest and highest potential. When we are free, our energies are fluid and our perceptions see beyond this world.

So what is a soulmate? It is the soul with which you have the strongest energy connection with. It is the bond between two consciousnesses between lives. It is the other side of ourselves. The role of your soulmate is to assist you to advance on your soul's quest for freedom. Yes you were made for each other, but that can have many connotations.

Sometimes our soulmate will incarnate and be involved in our lives romantically, other times they will not. Sometimes they will even incarnate as our nemesis, and even at the very extreme of the soulmate spectrum, when they did indeed incarnate as your enemy, they did this for you. Out of that bond, out of that energetical connection that both of you share to make the catalyst for your life's lesson possible.

Sometimes, life can be challenging to the point of being difficult. If you can center yourself and perhaps take time to consider the fact that at some point in your consciousness you had made the decision to undergo the set of difficult circumstances that you may be facing., instead of fighting off the pain and anguish that is eating you up inside, try and embrace it and see if you can identify why your soul chose this. Close your eyes and try to remember and if you can transcend the lesson and be that much closer to eternal freedom.
