Shinier, costlier, and larger toys cannot provide long lasting fulfillment in your life.

 

What do you fill the void in your life with? 

Some think that chasing that shinier, costlier, and larger toy will fill the void in their life. While they expend much energy, perhaps even their entire lifetime pursuing these elusive goals, in the end, any material object cannot fill the void since the void is not the cause or the effect of a lack of material goods.

Are you pursuing spiritual fulfillment or material fulfillment?

Rather, the lack they experience in their life is from a lack of spiritual fulfillment. Somewhere along their journey in their physical form, they neglected their spiritual fulfillment at the price of material fulfillment. After a lifetime of chasing goals that cannot and will not bring true fulfillment, it is of little wonder that these people cannot look in the mirror and honestly believe that they are happier and healthier in life with their shinier, costlier, and larger toys.

What is your main focus in life?

Living a fulfilled life does not mean that a person should give-up the pursuit of material goods, this idea is in of itself a direct contradiction to the Natural Laws of the universe where expansion is the rule and not the exception. And so it should be with humankind to grow and expand like the physical universe we inhabit. The real dilemma is when the main focus in life becomes the pursuit of material goods which ultimately define you as a person.

Am I an Italian sports car? An expensive watch? An exclusive purse? 

Hence, I am powerful like an exotic Italian sports car; I am exclusive as a one-of-a-kind watch; I am smarter since I wrote a top selling novel. However, the success you experience in life depends upon balance: the balance between your health, your wealth, and your spirituality. When you focus solely upon material goods you cannot possibly achieve balance and balance in life is what results in a truly fulfilled physical existence here upon planet Earth.

Do you crave material goods only?

Another problem which frequently accompanies our obsession with material goods is that some of us do not have the economic resources to support a life of extravagance and exclusive cravings for these costly items. If we are unable to pay the price of these goods outright, then we use credit and there is a high cost we must ultimately pay for living yesterday.

There is a high cost for living yesterday

Such a purchase – when you are not able to meet your monthly obligations – can lead to a negative vibratory state and you will struggle to get out of this state, however, you are not able to since you allow your present state to dictate your future state. Once, I owned an expensive European automobile when I needed it; I needed it since there was a void in my life and it became my identity, but, I could not afford it at the time and used credit to fund this expensive toy for my own vanity and self-worth.

What do you need? What do you want?

Many years have passed and now that I can afford this brand of automobile, I do not need it, I do not need my automobile to define who or what I am since what I drive is not who or what I am. It was a costly lesson, however, since my focus in life is now not upon impressing anyone or anybody with the set of wheels I drive, my focus is now upon spiritual fulfillment and to no surprise I now have the economic resources available for me to purchase such a vehicle without using any form of credit.

A positive vibratory state manifests what you desire 

When you take your focus and life’s mission off of material gains, you will receive the material gains you want since you inhabit a positive vibratory state where all that you can imagine will be delivered to you from the Source.

Find balance in your life for true fulfillment

Focus your life upon achieving true balance and in the end you will find that the toys – all the shiny, costly, and large toys will find their way to your doorstep since you are not attempting to fill a void, rather, you are attempting to live a fulfilled life based upon a strong connection to the Source. And this, my friend, is true fulfillment in our present physical manifestation.

The expansiveness of your inner world is far greater than the expansiveness of your outer world.

We are amazed by the Earth’s physical beauty

Most are in complete awe of their physical world. Consider the visual delights that await you when you stroll along a clear-blue mountain stream or hike through a peaceful green forest in the spring time. Surely, you are appreciative of experiencing the natural wonders given to us by the benevolent Source?

Ancient Pompeii, a snap-shot in time 

Or wander through ancient Pompeii and marvel at the architecture of our glorious past. Glimpse into a time capsule as you are mesmerized by the same colorful wall paintings that our ancestors marveled at almost 2000 years ago.

Swirling colors…a delight to our eyes

Spend time experiencing the artwork of one of the greatest artists of all time. Be in wonder at the thick, swirling colors laid-down by our beloved Vincent who never sold a single painting he labored over when on this physical plane of existence.

Social networking has shrunk the world 

And think about what social networking has done to our circle of friends and acquaintances: one minute you can be writing to a friend in Norway, the next with an acquaintance in Qatar, and then with a former colleague who has moved to China. There is also our family who often must move abroad to find meaningful employment; as such, my family is now in Canada, England, Australia, New Zealand, and Thailand.

Experience various cultures…but never leave home

In order to stay connected, we can simply access the Internet or easily board an airplane and within a few hours enjoy fish and chips in the UK, savor prawn-soup in Thailand, or delight in lamb from New Zealand. Hence, with a more mobile workforce and improved technological innovations, we can experience a wide range of cultures and traditions in virtually every country on Earth. Still, while these wonders of our outer world are breathtaking, nonetheless, they pale to the wonders of our inner world.

Some never appreciate the beauty that exists around them

Although our Earth is seemingly large and offers untold experiences for each of us, nevertheless, we share an earthly existence with others who lack appreciation for the opportunities and are instead filled with anxiety, fear, and envy. At times, the negative things that happen in the world can overshadow and even rob you of your positive words, thoughts, and actions. Think about the topics that many talk about at work – the economy is weak, the company is bad, and the future is glum. While meaning well, these people are limiting their own lives and goals by this approach to life.

We limit our opportunities in life by the language we use 

They are limiting their achievements by measuring their opportunities with the physical world that they exist within. They are focusing upon the noise of their outer world which robs them of the peace, quiet, and joy which can lead them to their earthly goals. They are living in a small world, a physical world that holds them in chains and fetters their true Self. Their world may appear to be large, but it is indeed made small by their thoughts, their words, and their actions.

Our inner world is more expansive than our outer world 

How can we immerse our Self in the expansiveness of our inner world? There are a number of paths we can focus upon to experience the hidden magic that rests deep within our very souls. In order to put the differences between your spiritual and physical worlds in true perspective, it is key to mediate on a regular basis. Meditating helps you block-out the noise of your outer world and find the peace in your inner world. In this state, you can then experience unlimited space and tranquility which you are able to leverage to achieve the goals that you have set your heart upon.

Meditation opens your metaphysical door to success

As you find quietude, you find the unlimited potential that is innate within your Self. Meditating helps you to relax and see the beauty that exists within you which can be hidden from you when you are not in a peaceful state of being. A positive perspective on life is far better than a negative perspective since this approach attracts additional positive events, people, and circumstances into your life.

The daily news is not the path to fulfillment

Most need to watch the nightly news to help them unwind before slipping off to sleep. I challenge this idea: how can you possibly unwind and enjoy a peaceful sleep when you have just experienced the latest tragedies, human and economic, just before retiring for the evening? It appears to me that watching the negative events that have horrified your city, state, country, or world is not the ideal way to wrap-up a day of your life.

Retire at night with a positive message reverberating in your mind

Rather than watch the nightly news and allow any negative thoughts to occupy your Self while you sleep, pick-up a positive book by some of the greatest authors of our past and present including Neville (The Power of Awareness), Raymond Holliwell (Working with the Law), Ralph Waldo Trine (In Tune with the Infinite), and Napoleon Hill (Think and Grow Rich). After retiring for the evening with the wise words from these renowned authors occupying your sleep time, your Self will have engaged with their words and will have cultivated increased awareness of the true expansiveness and innate possibilities within your inner world.

Subliminal affirmations help you walk down the path to joy 

There are also a number of companies that market CD’s which contain subliminal affirmations that can be listened to before or during your sleep time…these are highly effective and once again invoke positive thoughts within our Self instead of the negative images we often decide to close our day with.

Eternal connections manifest from meditating, reading and listening to positive messages 

As you are practicing meditation, reading positive books, and listening to silent affirmations, you are creating a profound and eternal connection with the Source. As you build your sacred passageway to the One and with the One, you are developing a greater sense of awareness and alignment with the immense power of the universe and the enormous power within your Self. A deep connection with the Source can only manifest a greater abundance of love, compassion, and understanding which in turn reveals the true expansiveness that is harbored deep within your Self. It is love, compassion, and understanding which unveil the infinite space, the enormous quietude, the inestimable relaxation, and unbounded solitude which are tantamount to experiencing the possibilities that abound within the expansiveness of your inner world.

 Your inner world usurps your outer world 

Regardless of the number of times you have flown around our Earth; regardless of the number of friends that you have scattered throughout our Earth; and regardless of the number of cultures, food, and languages you have experienced throughout our Earth, these physical manifestations fall short of what awaits you in your inner world.

Your inner potential is limitless when you pursue a divine connection 

The potential for your life is limitless when you spend time in deep thought in your inner world. Your inner sanctum holds divine power, divine connection, and divine unity with the Source. This divine trilogy is merely the reflection of your true potential and as such, holds unlimited possibilities for your physical health, your material wealth and your spiritual Self.

Your habits manifested your life in the past and now they manifest your life in the present, however, your habits are malleable which allows you to manifest a change in the future.

Success begins by forming habits of success

Success in life, be it spiritual, physical, or material begins by forming the habit of success. And there’s a wise saying which encapsulates the paths we end-up taking in life, “At first you make your habits and then your habits make you.” There is absolutely no one who would deny that your day-to-day habits will not manifest a life of success or failure.

Create your habits, don’t let them create you

If you want to pass a course that will earn you more money at work but watch television and never do your assigned homework, your lackadaisical habits form your present and future failure. If you want to purchase a larger home for a growing family and work overtime to start a home-based business, by saving the extra money, your saving habits will insure that your family will live in a larger home in the present and in the future. Naturally, you may not have the money, or automobile, or peace of mind that you want today. Still, you must see, believe, and say that success is yours due to the good habits that you have formed in the past, the present, and the future.

Your outer world is a reflection of your inner world 

Years ago, perhaps you started a new job and at first worked diligently, but, somewhere along the way you became disinterested or unhappy with your employer, job conditions, or monthly income. As a result, you reacted accordingly; your thoughts, words, and actions reflected your inner world. On the other hand, a friend began the same job, however, this person excelled and enjoyed the job and as a result of their thoughts, words, and actions, they became a leader in the company. Both of you were conditioned by your inner and outer environment – both created and lived by habits that conditioned success or conditioned failure.

Your past can shackle your future 

The past then manifests your freedom or shackles your present in chains. Your old habits either support your thoughts, words, and actions towards your goals or your thoughts, words, and actions haunt you and lead you away from your goals. We are unable to relive our life in the past, nevertheless, we can act accordingly in the present to change the future.

We are given a gift to change what is to what will be 

The Source has provided a temporal gift to change our Self. Every new day presents itself to us to make the changes necessary to alter the paths we take and the destinations where we eventually end-up. And along with this gift, we have received the spiritual gift of choice.  Each of us has an equal opportunity to create a new Self which in the end depends upon our focus and our awareness in and of life.

The only constant is change…control this inevitable truth for the betterment of all

The Source has also freely provided an infinite physiological gift. Our present human forms are created in such a miraculous way that they allow us to maintain old habits or create new ones. When we look at our loved ones, we identify them by the physical forms that they have: hence, we see black eyes, we see black hair, and we see a body 165 cm. tall. While our physical bodies appear to be solid objects, they are as ephemeral as the waters that flow in a stream. It is this constancy of change which is one of the greatest gifts provided to us by a benevolent Source.

 

Our cells are the pathways to change and success

Scientists have estimated that the human body has somewhere between 50 and 100 trillion cells. Since each cell has 24 pairs of chromosomes, this translates into roughly 2,300 to 4,600 trillion pairs of DNA. It is well documented that each cell reacts to situations and feelings by a chemical change. This chemical change occurs in waves throughout our bodies as we instantly react in fear or love, hence, there is a corresponding chemical elixir that mirrors our feelings and attitude. While this is fascinating, even more intriguing was an experiment completed by the US Army.

Our emotions live on in our DNA, even IF separated by 350 miles

In 1993, the US Army questioned if a cell (DNA) responded to emotions once separated from a human donor. A subject’s DNA sample was taken, isolated, and measured to see if it responded to emotions. The donor watched a number of movies that resulted in a variety of emotions. When the donor was watching the videos, the DNA responded in electrical currents that mirrored the emotions which occurred when the subject viewed the different videos. Miraculously, the DNA was separated not only by a room, but, by as much as 350 miles away. At this distance, an atomic clock gauged that the person’s emotions and the response of the cells were simultaneous – there was no time lag between the two even separated by such a great distance. This is indeed a primordial gift which helps us survive in the physical world.

Our body changes but remains the same as new cells replace old cells

While we have such a large number cells, our bodies are not the same since our cells reproduce new cells which replace the old cells and so on and so on as long as you occupy your present human form. We may appear to be the same person, when in reality we not the same person as we were in the past. Although we may appear to be the same, nonetheless, we are ‘different’ persons since our old cells have been replaced by new cells.

The shamans of Peru and indigenous tribes of Australia knew what science has just discovered

Scientists have been able to measure the rate of change in the human body and many of our major organs, and as such, it is estimated that the cells in our liver change completely about every 6 weeks; our skin in roughly 7 days; our skeleton replaces every cell in around 7 years; and our heart cells 1% per year. At one time scientists believed that our brain did not grow new cells over time, nevertheless, the experts now refute this claim as they have discovered that the human brain can in fact grow over time. Even though these facts are supported by scientific findings, they are not new since the shamans of Peru and the indigenous people of Australia have known and practiced this since time immortal. Once again, ancient knowledge is being proven by modern technology.

Our cells have memories

The fact that our bodies’ cells change over time is invaluable when we apply this knowledge to changing our old, poor habits to new, good habits. As miraculous as the constant changes that occur within our bodies, is the fact that our cells have a ‘memory.’ This may sound like science fiction, yet, this idea has been supported by many experiments. For example, there was a great plague in the early 1900’s which killed a large number of people. The survivors of that pandemic illness, which cut short the lives of so many, even after 50 years their cells kept the memory and they were immune to a future tragic illness.

Our cells are pre-programmed for success

While our cells change, there appears to be an exchange of information – the primordial universal information which helped to keep these survivors safe from a future outbreak. Furthermore, a liver remains as a liver and your skin remains as skin, and do not morph into some other major organ due to memory. If our cells and our DNA can save us from future illnesses and reproduce an exact organ due to having a memory, then it is entirely consistent there can be an exchange of our wants, our needs, and our desires with our DNA molecules as well.

Our habits are encoded on our miraculous cells 

Our cells change over time and since our habits are encoded in our old cells, the new cells must unquestionably ‘accept’ the encoded memory of those habits whether they are good or poor. Your habits remain the same and do not become discarded with the replacement of an entire organ over time. The key then is to encode good habits at the cellular level at the expense of poor habits to receive what you want and desire in this life. You can start the process of replacing old habits with new habits by visualizing the encoded change upon each of the trillions of cells in your body. Sit quietly and ‘see’ the new habit replacing the old habit – make this a habit for 21 days and then you will ‘see’ the difference in the way that you think, act, and talk about your life and the goals that you have set for your Self.

Live FROM the future and not FOR the future

Most live FOR the future and not FROM the future, there is a big difference in your thoughts, words, and actions when you live FROM the future rather than FOR the future. When you live FROM the future, you are already experiencing the achievement of your goal. Hence, you are already experiencing a live of spiritual enjoyment; you are already experiencing a beautiful relationship with your soul mate; and you are already experiencing a life of abundance on the spiritual plane of existence although you have not achieved what you want on the physical plane.

Think, believe, and act I AM and not I WILL 

And when thinking about your new habits, think I AM and not I WILL, there is a great deal of difference between these two words and how they interface with your Self. I am not just playing with semantics here, I AM is right now while I WILL is somewhere in the future. These few simple suggestions will help you to remove old, poor habits and replace them with a set of new, good habits.

We have the spiritual and physiological means to achieve success 

Each of us in our present human form has been provided with spiritual and physiological means to achieve our goals and also make long lasting changes in our lives. These are the miracles that the wise ancients wrote about, spoke of, and practiced in their daily lives. When we fully understand and accept the miracles freely given to us by the benevolent Source, we are fully capable of creating our new realities as we rid our Self of our past and present negative habits. By the same processes, we can reinforce our past and present positive habits as well.

Your emotions and your feelings that manifest from your thoughts are the divine elixir which unlocks the innate, universal knowledge.

Thoughts are energy

Energy can neither be created nor destroyed. And the things that are unseen or seen on this physical plane of existence are pure energy. For example, thoughts are things that are pure energy; since they are energy, they can neither be destroyed nor can they be created. Hence, at the moment of creation, all thoughts were created and the sum total at that miraculous moment are equal to all the thoughts that we possessed in the past, all the thoughts that we possess at the moment, and all the thoughts that we will possess in the future.

Energy can be either positive or negative

It is also true that pure energy can be either positive energy or it can be negative energy and it your emotions and your feelings which is replicated by the nonjudgmental energy that exists in every nook and cranny throughout universe. It is your thoughts that manifest your emotions and your feelings of what has happened, what is happening, and what will happen which results in the creation of positive or negative energy.

Your thoughts create feelings

If there is any doubt about your positive or negative thoughts manifesting positive or negative feelings and emotions, focus your thoughts for a moment upon love; how do you feel? By contrast, focus your thoughts for a moment upon jealousy; how do you feel? How you feel and what you emote are not only the products of your psychological state, these also exert a great deal of influence upon your physiological state as well.

Each of us has unlimited innate knowledge 

The benevolent Source has provided each of us, regardless of our social status, education, or location, the totality of the universal knowledge. This primordial gift lies dormant in the trillions of cells and DNA that compose our present earthly form. We only need to rouse this dormant knowledge and truthfully apply it in the searching and manifesting of our goals and aspirations.

How can we awaken our innate knowledge?

How can we rouse this sleeping bequest from the Source? The key then to your success in this life is to be able to control your thoughts which manifest your feelings and your emotions…this process then unlocks the door and that holds the methods, the circumstances, and the people to achieve your goals. The means to achieve your goals are innate in each of us and the means are locked-up in the DNA which each and every person who exists upon our terrestrial home possesses in their human form.

Let love and compassion drive your goals…not wealth and power

How do innate universal knowledge, our thoughts, our feelings, and our emotions conspire in a miraculous chain reaction which creates the elixir that manifests our goals? Due to a lack of technical sophistication at the present moment, it is impossible to identify and measure the biochemical reaction that lead to the manifestation of our goals, as a consequence, we then are forced to look at the chain of events that would lead to the creation of the divine potion that manifests our goals. For example, we want to write a Self-help book which will provide guidance to the countless millions who are presently suffering from a lack of money and Self confidence.

Money is not the motivator to reach true satisfaction in this life

As an author, you are not driven by the monetary enumeration you will receive once you have helped the countless sufferers escape from their present unpleasant situation. Rather, you possess the base desire of love and compassion to help those less fortunate than your Self and others around you. It then can be said that your thoughts and desires trigger a series of events to produce your end goal – a best seller that truly guides the masses.

There is an interface between your goals and your knowledge 

Your mind and soul are filled with a noble and honest goal which produces a biochemical reaction of the ‘proper’ kind in the trillions of cells that comprise your earthly form. A biochemical reaction occurs which then interfaces with your DNA to unlock the area of innate knowledge which has been lying dormant in those trillions of sets of chromosomes since the day of birth in your present earthly body. Now, the exciting part is that your biochemicals react with your DNA to access and then relinquish all the ideas, knowledge, words, and methods to create the book that will be the great savior of humankind.

Unlock your wants and desires and the path to receive them shall be yours

We have unlocked the primordial knowledge which manifests our goal, the Source then provides us with the means to be able to reach the people who are in dire need of our help. This wondrous meeting occurs since we, as an author and those who are sufferers, share the same vibrational frequency.

A web connects each of us as One…One love, One mind, One soul

We are connected by the Web of existence and since we are, we share the universal love and compassion that flows to those who have awareness and focus upon the relief of their unpleasant present situation. Once your book has been received, the ones who are less fortunate accept the words that are being read and this in turn initiates their journey to create their unique divine elixir that will release them from their present unpleasant situation.

Serve others to achieve true happiness and satisfaction in this life 

Once we can comprehend the enormity of the biochemical reaction which can lead us towards our goals in life, it is then our responsibility to apply our new found knowledge to best serve our Self and the lives of others as well. Have complete faith and belief that the Source has provided all the things required in this equation of freedom: the thoughts, the feelings, the emotions, the people, the circumstances, all mixed in the proper amount to produce the biochemical reaction to live a life of happiness and fulfillment.

“Your energy must guide your efforts – your efforts must not guide your energy.”

It’s more than hard work 

Most believe that hard work and sustained effort will manifest the goals they want to achieve in their life in their present physical form. However, this is far from the truth since the ones who work the hardest are not the richest or the healthiest or the happiest in this world. If your efforts alone are not the key to manifestating a life of spiritual and material abundance, this begs the question:

What will provide a happy, healthy, and fulfilled life on this plane of existence?

Your energy and your energy alone will manifest all that you desire regardless of your gender, education, or location. The benevolent Source has provided each of us with an equal opportunity to achieve our goals in life. At our earthly conception, we all are programmed with infinite spiritual, intellectual, and physical gifts.

We ‘forget’ what is innate in all of us

However, as we mature and our responsibilities increase we shift our focus upon the physical ways to live life and forget or abandon or surrender the most powerful gifts bestowed upon them by the Source – the gifts of divine creation, primordial knowledge, and supreme connection to the unlimited universal power.

Your energy guides your efforts and your results

Effort alone will not guarantee that you will achieve what you want to achieve in this life. It is important to your success to have your energy guide your efforts and not have your efforts guide your energy. Your efforts are a reflection of the energy which you emit and ultimately what you receive from the universe. When you emit positive energy, you receive only positive circumstances, situations, and results. When you emit negative energy, you can only receive negative circumstances, situations, and results.

Inconsistent efforts produce inconsistent results

The problem is that your efforts can be inconsistent or unproductive and when they are inconsistent or unproductive, you can become unfocused, disenchanted, and just plain frustrated since your goals are not any closer at hand then when you set the goal. When we make an effort and receive no compensation for our hard work and investment of our time, naturally, doubt, negative thoughts, and negative words slip into our focus and our consciousness. Our results are not in proportion to our efforts.

The universe runs on universal time, not human time 

However, we must not forget that the universe works on different time than humans – the universe follows cosmic timelessness where the past, present, and future are one…they are the inseparable which we want to separate to fit our personal and financial timetable.

Maintain a spiritual focus not a physical focus 

When we forget or abandon or surrender our spiritual focus to our physical focus, we are consciously or unconsciously putting our faith in our Self and stripping it away from the Source. How pretentious of us to believe that we can attain our goals solely upon our own expertise and without the guidance and help from the benevolent Source.

Our mansions are created within before they are created without 

Our mightiest mansions are built within our inner world long before our outer world. One singular physical effort was, is, or will never be made before we have made our spiritual effort first. Every goal that we achieve begins and then germinates as an idea within our spiritual realm – your goal is never planted or comes to fruition as a result of making and exerting an effort first. Thoughts create the efforts which then manifest the goal – this is the Law.

Align your energy, knowledge, and your sacred connection to receive your desires  

Results manifest from your spiritual realm first. It is your positive energy aligned with primordial knowledge and supported by your supreme connection with the Source which manifests your desires. This trilogy of success depends upon your focus and not your efforts. As you focus your words and thoughts upon a specific goal, the universe aligns you with your goal to manifest all the circumstances, situations, and people required to achieve that which you want to achieve. It is your spiritual focus that creates positive expectancy which then leads to positive energy which in turn provides a conduit to achieve what you want to achieve.

A number of steps help you manifest your goals 

In order to create the energy which produces the efforts that manifest your goals, there are a number of steps you can take to keep you in synch with the universal power. Having your goal written down upon a card and then carrying it in your pocket or purse reminds you to stay focused and also maintain positive energy and belief in what you are doing to help you achieve the goal. Holding a goal card in your hand is magic as you create an instant connection with the goal.

Quiet time is essential to maintain focus 

It is equally as important to find quiet time to reflect upon what you want to achieve. In today’s busy world, we often lose sight of our goals since there are so many distractions that pull us away from what we want. It is critical to stay in a positive state of energy by continuously monitoring what thoughts, words, and actions are goal achieving and what thoughts, words, and actions are tension relieving. While you may be enjoying distractions for what you want, you may then feel guilty for not focusing upon your goal and this is when the doors of negativity are opened.

Listen to your inner voice…it’s always correct 

When spending quiet time reflecting upon your goals, be sure to listen to your Self to receive what effort you should make to get closer to your goal. Often we hear the means to achieve our goals, however, we then dismiss our inner voice as just a hunch or a fallacy and make no effort to do what we received from the Self. You must never forget or lose or abandon your faith and belief in what you know is the right path to take; after all, if the Source provides you with the initial thoughts to achieve a goal, the Source provides the path to achieve the goal as well.

Faith and belief are pathways to success 

And while you are focusing upon complete faith and belief in the opportunities that present themselves to you, remember to express your gratitude to the Source for what you were, are, and will be. No matter what your present situation…either close to or far away from your goal, gratitude keeps you in a positive state of energy which then allows more of the good to be channeled to your life on universal time.

Your energy determines what you achieve in this life 

Effort alone is not the answer to achieving your goals – it is your positive energy that is the key to achieving what you set your sights upon. It is your positive energy that will keep you on track and help you to push negative energy from your Self. It is your positive energy that will guide you to the correct path and help you walk along that path no matter what happens in the outer world around you.

“It is your mind that creates your life’s illusions and it is your mind that creates your life’s realities.”

Life’s Illusions manifest from misinterpretations 

The illusions in your life are the results of your misinterpretation of the circumstances that have happened, that are happening, or will happen to you and the realities in your life are the results of your rightful interpretation of the circumstances that have happened, that are happening, or will happen to you.

Your five senses act as filters in life

And it is your mind’s direct or indirect reaction to your circumstances, filtered through your five senses of sight, sound, smell, touch and taste which are either the catalyst for the improper interpretation or the proper interpretation of those circumstances that comprise your life. Hence, it becomes clear that the control of your mind and the control of your senses manifest your illusions or your realities.

Illusions are a minefield 

The illusions that are created in your mind that consequently influence your thoughts, words, and actions are nothing more than falsehoods that have little substance from what the reality is in your life in most instances. We base our life upon these illusions and negotiate along through life like a soldier making his way through a deadly minefield with these unwarranted chimeras haunting our every waking moment.

Falsehoods are created from illusions

We sacrifice true happiness, abundance, and fulfillment because our illusions are continually being reinforced with our false thoughts, words, and actions. After years of living as we are living – accepting that the falsehoods are truths – our mind becomes rigid to our old paradigm and it is difficult to break away from our illusions. Since we live these illusions every day we soon accept them as the only alternative in our life. As we accept them as the only path in life, we lose our enthusiasm and desire to achieve BIG goals since our fate is already predetermined by our past results. We have lost the idea that we are in control of our lives and that many possibilities exist at the identical moment and it is our decision to focus upon what we want rather than what we have achieved up to the present moment. It is crucial to achieve any goal in our life to see and then experience our life not through a distorted lens of an illusion, rather, to see it and then think, talk, and act through a lens of our reality.

Incorrect assumptions create an unwanted and unfulfilled life 

As we form our illusions in life by our jaundiced interpretation of our circumstances, experiences, and then our results, we form the realities in our life by our intuitive interpretation of our circumstances, experiences and then our desired results. It is our lack of control of our mind which leads to the incorrect assumptions we make about our past, present, and future situations and circumstances that create our illusions. And by contrast, it the control of our mind which produces the correct assumptions we make about our past, present, and future that create our realities.

Ask your Self important questions 

The important question is How can we control our mind to insure we create the realities we want and not the illusions we do not want? To start, we need to understand that gaining and maintaining control of your mind in a myriad of situations is not unlike training your body to be a key athlete. What I mean is that it is not a sprint, but, a marathon. It is not the flavor of the week or the flash in the pain where you will try and see if it is for you. Rather, consider controlling your mind in the good and bad as a way of life. It is a long term commitment that must be worked upon diligently or you may not attain, maintain, and sustain the control of the most important path in your life to achieve what you want.

How can you gain and sustain control of your mind? 

There are a number of practical suggestions which can help you gain and sustain control of your mind. First, it is imperative to your success to gain control of your mind and hence your reality – you must have 100% faith, belief, and expectation that you will be the master of your mind (your reality) and not the slave of your whims (your illusions). You may slip back into your old paradigms at times, still, realize that you will overcome the obstacles, no matter how difficult and be the captain of your journey.

Success manifests long after visualization and belief

Second, it is also critical to visualize your success long before it even happens. Hence, if you want a new car, a new house, a new job, or control over your mind, you first need to see the results you want on the non-physical plane before it appears on the physical plane. When you see what you want and deserve before it happens on human time, you are summoning the enormous power of the universe to your purpose and sets in motion the people, circumstances, and things required to manifest what you want. Practice visualization regularly when faced with a new goal.

Your mind can take you down any number of paths to success or failure 

Third, another key in your success equation is to constantly monitor the illusions or the realities which you are thinking about. Intuitively, at the visceral level you know that your mind is leading you down a path of truth or falsehood. You only need to be aware of what is being presented to you. It is important to take the time to be silent in the noise of everyday living and listen to what your inner spirit is attempting to pass along to you and then it is even more important to act upon what you are receiving from the universe. When you consciously find quietude in nature or your family home, your focus will allow you to access the inner power of intuition which then manifests your realities and not your illusions.

Your family, friends, and acquaintances can lead you down any number of path to success or failure

Fourth, this idea marries with the idea of constantly monitoring your mind. The people around you, your circle of friends, family, and colleagues are always willing to help you make those tough decisions in life based upon what they would do in the same situation. The problem is that their advice is not based upon what is best for you and how it fits in with your plan for success in the universe. While you may want to be polite and listen to what they say to help you, this help then forms your new reality or illusion – it is best to listen to your intuition and not your family, friends, and colleagues in those tough situations. After all, their advice is built upon their unique experiences and we seldom share all the same experiences in life. And, we filter our experiences through different lens then the people around us which could manifest different realities or illusions. Ultimately, find your own path and not follow someone else’s path.

Overcome negativity to discover your path to success

Fifth, make a conscious effort to overcome the urge to react negatively in any and every undesirable, unsuspected, or unwanted situation. If you do act this way – you will not get out of your present unpleasant situation, rather, you will be building barricades that will insure that you will remain as you are. So, if you do not receive the raise you expected at work, instead of believing that you will never receive that extra monthly income (your illusion), design a plan that will make you more valuable to the company.

Plan for success by investing in your Self

Your plan could mean extra night courses or seminars or other professional development and most companies will even pay for their employees to do so. Make a solid effort and investment of time to design a plan that is achievable, remember, most people take longer to plan their next vacation than their lives! However, a plan is not enough; you must have a complete understanding that you are more valuable to the company and then you will enjoy that raise (your reality).

Control the reality you wish to experience   

We can build our own realities regardless of what illusions have haunted us in the past. At this exact moment, there are many possibilities that present themselves to your Self. Take control of your mind and only allow the reality you want to exist in your mind at every moment. If you find that you are losing control and permitting wrongful illusions to take hold and dominate your Self, there are a number of ways to regain and sustain control of your mind which will lead to true health, wealth, and Self.

“Manifestations occur when you are in a state of serenity and not when you are in a state of anxiety.”

How do we cure what ails us? 

Today, we find that the self-help industry is huge – it is a multi-billion dollar business – and within the parameters of this industry we find that the most sought after cures for the majority are a lack of money, a lack of self-esteem, and a lack of purpose. According to the gurus within this industry, the magic elixir to escape from and then place these maladies in life far behind you is manifesting.

Manifest what you desire 

It is commonly accepted that we are able to transcend the negatives in life by manifesting our personal goals of health, wealth, and Self, This idea has had a tremendous impact upon the psyche of modern day society. Perhaps, the general acceptance of this idea may rival the discoveries that the Earth was not the center of the universe and the Earth was not flat as assumed by the masses many centuries ago.

We never realize our goals when in a state of anxiety 

While the collective consciousness may agree that manifesting is the key to achieving our goals and changing our life for the better, most turn to manifesting in times of dire need which is when they are in a state of negative vibration. As they attempt to force changes in life to escape their present unpleasant situation, many never realize their goals and as a result turn their backs upon the Source’s invaluable gift for long-lasting and meaningful change.

Your vibratory state determines your ability to manifest your desire 

The self-help experts promote manifesting as the rightful path to relieve your Self of the misery that your Self has caused you to experience in the past, causes you to experience in the present, and will cause you to experience in the  future. While much has been said and written about manifesting your personal goals, it is critical for your success to be aware of the vibratory state that you are in both before and during your manifesting session. The overall lack of success that many people face is that they approach manifesting when they are at their lowest point.

How can a negative vibratory state produce positive results?  

They attempt to manifest a drastic change in their life when they have no money, when they are sick, when they have no job, and when their relationship is on the rocks. Needless to say, when a person is at the lowest of the lows, they are in a negative state of vibration. They are enveloped in a black cloud of anxiety, fear, and desperation…negative states of energy which can only attract negative states of energy according to the Natural Laws of the universe. How do they ever expect to escape their current situation in such a vibratory state?

Don’t build barricades around your goals      

The vibratory state that you dwell in determines the results that you have in your past, your present, and your future life. There is simply no escaping the immutable laws of the universe regardless of your gender, age, education, celebrity, or location. When you are in a state of anxiety prior to attempting your manifesting session, you can only build barricades which stop the universe from delivering your goal. When you are in a state of anxiety as you attempt your manifesting session, you maintain the barricades which repel your goal.

Believe in your future goals…but do not base your beliefs upon your present situation

It is imperative in your manifesting session that you do not allow the negatives in your life, such as overdue bills, economic meltdown of your country, or an advanced state of illness to influence your thoughts, words, and actions which ultimately impacts your ability to achieve your end goals. You must see past the present unpleasant situation as the only reality of your life. It is not the only possibility, just one of a countless number that exist at any given moment.

Your goal already exists…it takes the proper action, thoughts, and words to accomplish it 

While a state of anxiety can stop a successful manifesting session in its tracks, by contrast, a state of serenity can result in the natural achievement of your goals. Of course, it is not easy to focus your mind upon the good you expect to receive long before you receive it when the dogs of despair are nipping at your heels, still, this is exactly what is required to end the cycle of poverty, illness, and fear which plagues so many of us and keeps us in the throes of anxiety. But, consider the alternative; remaining in a state of anxiety perpetuates the conditions that rule over your life. To escape the state of anxiety and enter upon a state of serenity you need to see your Self, your inner being, the goal already manifested.

The present is malleable

So, while you stare the negatives straight in the face, have unconditional faith and absolute belief that the negatives are not the only reality, they are just the present reality which is malleable. Be genuinely grateful that you are where you are since feeling unfortunate, unlucky, or ungrateful will only tighten the noose of negative energy that encircles your entire Self.

Belief and faith destroy a negative vibratory state 

Fully understand that the negatives can be broken by seeing economic prosperity, good health, and wellness in your mind long before you hold them with your hands. Your focus determines what possibility becomes your reality and your reality is determined by your focus.

Goals have their a life of their own…nurture them to fruition 

Manifestations have a life of their own: they are born from your desires; they live from your thoughts; and they pass from your actions. As they proceed through the different stages of their existence, manifestations may change their shapes. And they are not under human time…they are under cosmic timelessness. They are also reborn as different although similar manifestations. For example, you may want to earn a degree in one discipline; however, you realize that this choice is not the best to fulfill your personal and economic goals in life. Hence, your initial manifestation passes and remerges as a new manifestation which better fulfills your personal goals. In the end, the life of a manifestation is dependent upon your being in a state of serenity and not in a state of anxiety. Serenity fulfills your manifestation while anxiety ends your manifestation unfulfilled.

“Live by intuition, do not live by logic.”

What drives science? 

Science has always been driven by hardened logic supported with cold facts and soulless formulas to account for all the biological, mathematical, sociological, historical, and mystical questions which abound within this life. And even though the answers to a great number of these mysteries are firmly and unquestionably entrenched deep within the collective consciousness of humankind, nevertheless, science and hence logic, dictates that the majority of us are unequivocally wrong in what we believe or feel as the truth.

Do we see the truth or feel the truth? 

While many wholeheartedly support the findings that manifest from scientific inquiry as the full truth and the only reality, this way of thinking comes at a high price. Intuition or natural knowledge which cannot be measured, observed, or calculated by white-coated lab assistants with modern day scientific equipment – is ridiculed as the baseless musings of artists, romantics, and poets to fabricate the fantasies of life, not the realities of life. At the expense of the traditional, we accept the novel as the only truth and solitary reality.

Live life by the seen ?

Logic or rational thought is based upon the seen and not upon the unseen. Hence, the rational mind’s mantra is best expressed as When I see it, I’ll believe it. When we accept that logic is the solitary path to truth and reality, we accept that truth and reality can only be measured, observed, and recorded by man or machine. The inherent problem with using these methods to arrive at all your conclusions and decisions in life is that these facts are the result of the noise from others.

Facts can be a mix of truth and fantasy

Facts, while a mix of both truth and fantasy manifest from the observations of politicians, educators, researchers, and the like to create the illusion in life which each group supports, either openly or covertly, as their personal agenda. Most have closed eyes and are unable to see through the illusion of life as they live it. However, when they open their eyes and see through life’s illusions, then they are in a position to reclaim that which they had lost initially.

Linear thinking and logic go hand-in-hand  

When a person embraces logic as their savior in this earthly life, they inherit a number of conditions which are inseparable from the whole. For example, linear thinking accompanies a logical mind. Since these conditions go hand in hand, we understand that a linear view of life occurs when a person has been trained to expect that A leads to B and B leads to C leads to D and so on and so on. If A leads to B and B leads to C then there is no uncertainty…only certainty. Many are unable to live with uncertainty in their lives, as a result, when these people live their lives, they rely upon logic and the facts and the seen to bring a sense of certainty and security to their lives.

Certainty brings stability to some

It is difficult, if not impossible for these people to flee from the certainty that brings stability to their lives. Nonetheless, even a small measure of uncertainty can manifest a crack in the paradigm which they live their lives. Mystery is unsettling. Unfamiliarity is frightening. Still, a small crack can slowly fester over time and then when a threshold is breached, uncertainty prevails over certainty. In this sense, logic could be viewed as a boomerang that comes back and hurts the hunter since everyday life is often filled with seemingly unexpected and uncontrollable events.

Intuition arises from silence 

While logic arises from the noise manifested by facts and the seen, intuition results from the silence manifested by feelings and the unseen. Hence, the intuitive mind’s personal mantra then appears to be best articulated as I’ll believe it, then I’ll see it. The brain and our Self have the innate ability to comprehend that which we do not comprehend at a physical level.

We need no help to comprehend intuitive knowledge 

And this understanding does not require any assistance from outside of our Self. It is our raw feelings that unlock the natural knowledge which is found deep within our souls and our DNA – the knowledge within is freely given to each of us by the benevolent Source regardless of our gender, race, education, or location. And the strength of our connection to the Source determines our receptivity to this divine gift that provides a pathway to understand the mystical, the miraculous, the unseen.

We cannot separate the inseparable…this is an illusion 

When a person embraces intuition as their sole path to arrive at their conclusions and decisions in life, they do so based upon their own feelings from their inner world and do not rely upon the noise from others in their outer world. This method does not come without its consequences since it is not possible to separate the inseparable. Just as certainty is inseparable from logic, uncertainty is inseparable from intuition.

Your road-map exists within

This is not to say that a person who relies upon their intuition to solve their life’s issues goes around uncertain of what they need to do in order to accomplish that which they want to accomplish. Rather, it is like being provided with a road-map and the directions to end-up at your final destination are not highlighted with a bright yellow marker. You have the map and you need to hear the directions from your inner voice.

Your senses will guide you on your journey 

You must also rely upon your senses to find the right way – you rely upon the sun and the wind and your Self to arrive at your final location. Hence, A does not lead to B and B does not lead to C…you just know where you want to go and know with your entirety that you’ll get there, it is just that there are a variety of ways to get there and here is where the uncertainty steps in.

Uncertainty is a virtue…embrace it, do not scorn it 

I can say with certainty that uncertainty is a sacred virtue. When we surrender our Self to our intuition, we surrender our Self to the Source and the ancient knowledge innate within each of us to live a life with our truths and our realities. While we may surrender our Self to uncertainty, there is little sacrifice since surrendering certainty for uncertainty is an empowering feeling. Our constant sense of gratitude for the freedom is amplified as we experience life unshackled by the chains of certainty.

How can we access our innate knowledge? 

We can access intuition by our clear and focused thoughts and the long and often forgotten ways rekindle the connection that is lost over our lifetime. As we experience clarity of thought, we see through the illusions of life and do not fear, worry, or hate what the logical mind fears, worries, and hates. We do not need nor rely upon facts and science to explain the mysteries of life which include our belief of the Source, our ability to create or own reality, and our capacity to cure our dis-eased bodies and minds.

Don’t believe only in facts 

We do not believe in the facts and the reality that the seen world presents to us. After all if we did, by all rights a poor girl from Venezuela would never become a world renowned singer; a poor child who grew-up in a ghetto with little but his desire to become a famous sports figure would do so; and a boy who endured hunger when growing-up would become a famous jockey.

Intuition conquers all 

It is indeed a rarefied atmosphere where intuition is the conqueror of fear, uncertainty, and the seen. Turning your decision making process over to the unknown and the unseen requires a huge leap of faith. In this day and age where science is slowly strangling our reliance upon and the confidence in our own Self to cure our illnesses, to achieve our goals, and to answer our mystical questions, we need 100% trust, 100% faith, and 100% belief in our divine gift in order to relinquish the control of our destiny to our Self.

Surrender to your intuition 

While the price for our complete trust, our complete faith, and our complete belief may seem to be exorbitant, once we relinquish our Self to our intuition, it is like a traveler who leaves a humble home in an underdeveloped rural village to live in a modern metropolitan area. That person never returns with the same state of mind, the same level of wonder, and the same measure of confidence as when they first turned the handle of their door and made that initial step outside their comfortable and familiar hometown.

Intuition manifests a happier, healthier life 

Live your life by intuition and not by logic. When making this comment, I certainly do not question being rational concerning driving your car at 100 mph on an icy road through the mountains in December. Rather, I mean to live by intuition when making the really BIG decisions in life such as your job, your spouse, and your business. If you live by intuition and not by reason, surely, you will have a happier, healthier, and wealthier life since you are doing what you truly want with who you truly want to be with and when you truly want to do it. At the least, it certainly makes life a lot more enjoyable than the predictable, routine that most of us trade for security.  Allow the untapped or the forgotten knowledge that resides deep within your inner world to reign supreme over the noise and distractions of your outer world.

“The paths you take and the results you make are yours to create; these are neither random nor preordained conclusions.”

Our results aren’t due to luck, chance, or fate

Many would subscribe to the belief that the results in our physical world occur from luck, chance, or fate. However, on a daily basis, these same people inadvertently experience the benefits of a sundry of Natural Laws without any thought or appreciation of such wondrous events.

The Natural Laws are predictable and measurable

These Laws have been present since the moment of creation and continue to successfully keep the events that occur in the universe predictable and measurable. If there are any doubts, consider what it takes for planning a journey to the Moon or keeping an entire nation hooked-up to an electrical grid. In some instances we may not be able to detect the Natural laws with our five senses, nevertheless, there is evidence that the Natural Laws exist and neither chance nor fate nor luck are the pathways to what we hope to attain in this physical life.

Over-used, worn-out, and fallacious sayings

We all grew-up with such trite expressions such as Good Luck, It’s a twist of fate, and She’s so lucky to explain the unexplainable. These over-used, worn-out, and fallacious sayings help a great number of us cope with every-day life and the unpleasant as well as unplanned things that may occur to us. All the bad things that happen to nice people must be fate or chance or luck and all the good things that happen to bad people must be fate or chance or luck. After all, why would a benevolent Source not intercede to stop negative things happening to good people or stop positive things happening to bad people? With this thinking, it is easy to understand why many believe that life is nothing but a card game where an Ace may show-up in your hand this time but a Joker the next.

Are we the cards in a universal card game?

And when it comes to planning goals in life, such as economic freedom, a nice home, and a loving relationship…you have as much luck for achieving your personal goals as you do by rolling the dice and hitting snake eyes or a seven. These kinds of thoughts permeate the consciousness of many and leave a person with little expectation to achieve what they set their minds and souls upon.

Modern-day intellectualism demands physical evidence as proof 

Now, to complicate this even further, add modern-day intellectualism to our choices in life…only things that can be proven scientifically are true and real and all the rest is just nonsense contrived by artists, romantics, and poets to cope in the real world where some are wealthy and happy and the balance are poor and unhappy. The great thinkers of the past, including such luminaries as Newton, have left their indelible mark upon humankind. And it all starts with scientists themselves: a recent survey of their spiritual beliefs indicated that a mere 7% believed in the Source, 72% disbelieved in the Source, and the balance polled was agnostic.

Beliefs support agendas…agendas support beliefs

Naturally, their beliefs support their agendas which support their beliefs: it is fair to assume that science is the new Source comprised of mathematical formulas and calculations. As the experts put forth their hypotheses and assumptions, these are based upon the absence of the Source. They propose that the Source does not exist in reality, only in our minds, and we cannot have a connection with or benefit from a Being that does not exist on the physical plane of existence which we are familiar with in this day and age.

“Experts” create the new reality 

The media then grabs a hold of the ideas that the experts state as truth and these ideas enter into mainstream thought since we believe unquestionably what the experts propose as truth and reality. Even though their ideas may not hold-up under close scrutiny, nonetheless, these ideas are deeply entrenched in our collective consciousness and we now accept these as real and true and most live their lives on such premises.

Our lives are predetermined…we have no influence upon the outcomes in our life

Then we have the people who believe that every one’s life is predetermined from Day 1 and that we have no say in what we are or what we achieve in this earthly life.  Since we have no say and no influence upon the things that occur in this universe, each and every one of us are merely pawns in some universal chess game. Not since the devotion of the 16th century Calvinists have we witnessed such faith and adherence to this predeterministic dogma in one’s life. In their eyes, they see individuals as unimportant when it comes to participating in the creation in the universe – we are mere viewers and not participators.

There is no free will…we are hard-wired since birth

Their Supreme Being has not given humankind free will to pursue what we want to pursue, after all, there is no purpose or need to have free will provided to us since humankind has no control and no influence upon order or disorder in the universe. Accordingly, our brains and our bodies are fully hard-wired, imprinted, and preprogrammed with our destiny upon our entry into our terrestrial home.

Our fate is immutable 

Hence, we must buy a newspaper at a certain time; we must drive home a certain way even if it means our death; and we must have a bad relationship even if it means a life of unhappiness. We cannot change that which is predestined, no matter where we live, where we work, or where we go. With our earthly existence and results already set and being immutable, many must accept their fate as the way it is and make no attempts to break free of their lot in life.

We are creators of our paths and results

Finally, there is support for the current belief that each and every one of the human race has been given free will from the benevolent Source which allows us to create what we want and deserve in this life. This idea is not folklore. And this idea is not an illusion conjured-up by artists, romantics, or poets – it is an idea that is supported by the New Age scientists including Max Planck, David Bohm, and the founders of Quantum Physics.

We focus upon what we want to manifest 

Fundamentally, Quantum Physics has shown us that what we think is reality is indeed the case. As a result of this observation, we have direct control over the events that occur in our life and our focus helps to manifest that which we focus upon. Furthermore, all things in the universe, no matter how large or how small are directly connected by a field of energy which can be accessed to allow us to manifest our goals.

We are linked to the power of universal energy

We have direct access to the neutral power of the universe. Since this field of energy is neutral, it merely delivers that which is requested of it, hence, we have domain over our results, past, present, and future. Be confident that you can plan your plan and then work your plan to achieve what you desire most in this life albeit, money, good health, or a spiritual Self.

There are many possibilities and there are many opportunities 

Our goals and dreams are achievable since we have at our very fingertips multiple dimensions with multiple possibilities and our end results are created by our focus. Since multiple dimensions exist and they all exist at the same moment, there are as many possibilities as there are opportunities in your life at the same moment. This being the case, there is a reality where we have meet our soul mate and have enjoyed a fulfilling life together; there is a reality where we were never ill and lived a long life; and there is a reality where we started a business and we had tremendous success and helped the less fortunate around us.

Focus upon the possibility that you desire 

At any one time, all possibilities exist around us, however, we can exist in only one possibility at the moment and it is our focus which makes a possibility a reality. Our focus is our thought and thought is energy and it is this energy that is attracted to like energy which manifests our possibility into a reality. Like only attracts like and cannot attract unlike. Hence, we can never focus our thoughts upon good and receive bad and we can never focus our thoughts upon bad and receive good. We must understand that once we can overcome the illusion of what we see in the physical world around us, we can then live the life of our choice with happiness and prosperity and without doubt or fear or illness.

Spirituality can help heal and prolong one’s physical body

If there is any doubt that we are in control of our destiny – regardless if it physical or spiritual – consider the results of ill patients who have spirituality in their lives. The statistics from numerous studies have shown that a person who is spiritual, regardless of what form their personal spirituality may take, recovers from their illness quicker and often lives longer when compared to a person who has no spirituality or spiritual focus in their life. It appears that their return to wellness is hinged upon their thoughts, beliefs, values, and feelings and those thoughts, beliefs, values, and feelings are focused upon their connection with the Source.

A divine conduit to good wellness 

This divine connection appears to be the conduit which helps to unblock negative energy and to re-channel with positive energy. And there is evidence that distant healing has helped patients to return to wellness too. There is also scientific proof that meditating can and does help eliminate a wide variety of health problems including high blood pressure, hypertension, and other maladies which we suffer from in the 21st century.

In the end, undoubtedly, we have control over our health, our wealth and our Self – needless to say, we have both positive and negative influence upon the events and results that occur in our lives.

We are full participants in our results 

The results that you have received in your life to this very moment are not the product of random or predestined events…our results are fully in our hands and we are full participants and creators in a universe governed by a benevolent Source with a set of immutable Natural Laws.

“Meditating for the mind is as important as exercising for the body.”

Meditation is our connection to the spiritual world. 

For thousands of years, humankind has practiced the art of meditation. In earlier times, religion and meditation were inexorably joined and all the major world religions incorporated meditating as a means to connect with the One; a means to silence the physical world and experience the spiritual world; and a means to transcend the seen world and to reside within the unseen world.

 

A deeply, devoted state of thinking

And it was the monks, priests, and mendicants who mainly followed a meditative life within the confines of their monasteries and caves, thus, it appears that the conduit to the spiritual realm all too often excluded the general populace. Nowadays, there is no longer a barrier which prevents us from accessing and practicing this time honored tradition. While meditation and religious practices are still tightly entwined, most people out of the realm of organized religions who practice meditation are in reality practicing discursive thinking – a deep, devoted state of thinking.

Our mental state changes our physical body 

Whether it’s achieving spiritual ecstasy or attaining physical enjoyment from regular meditation (or discursive thinking), the scientific community as a whole identifies that a change of mental state results in a change of physical state. A body of research indicates a litany of ills including anxiety, stress, pain, and depression are substantially reduced or completely eliminated by regular meditation sessions.

Our happiness increases with our meditation sessions

There is also evidence to support the lowering of blood pressure levels, improving sleeping patterns, strengthening immunity systems, and increasing general overall happiness. In fact, a number of studies have discovered that your overall Happiness Index number may increase by as much as 20% from regular meditation sessions.

Create a stronger connection between the Source and your Self 

New Age scientists have hypothesized that habitually meditating creates a stronger connection between the practitioner and the Source which in turn releases blockages of energy which are at the heart of the many problems which we suffer from in this modern age.

You can have a healthier brain

Even though we have an extensive list of benefits from regular meditation, researchers have recently discovered other reasons to make this a regular routine in our busy and hectic lives. As we age, we naturally have a thinning of our frontal cortex. One study finds that regular meditation slows down the process and it also helps thicken this area of the brain when practiced over long periods of time. After years of being committed to this sacred act, we end up with a healthier brain.

Meditate to rewire your brain and increase awareness 

A wide number of studies also discover that regular meditation sessions rewire our brain. It seems that the rewiring of the brain results in an increased awareness and focus upon the present moment. Most of us spend a great deal of our time, scientists estimate as high as 50% of the time wandering from idea to idea, hence, there is little focus.

A lack of focus can attract negative energy 

As our thoughts race around in our minds, we most often than not are attracted to the negative aspects of our life; the bill that is owing, the car that needs fixing, the tooth that needs drilling. So, our lack of focus results in obsessing upon the negative which then places us in a negative state which then attracts more negativity to our lives.

Quiet the white noise 

However, a wide range of studies have found that when we meditate, we quiet the white noise of the outside world and become less judgmental in our worldview. This change then manifests as a more relaxed attitude that is not obsessing upon the broken this or the unpaid that. It appears that the brain is able to respond to self-monitoring and retain and maintain focus and block-out worldly interference.

Science not speculation 

This is not just speculation. A recent study discovered that meditating monks and praying nuns activated the areas of the brain that dealt with concentration and focus while they also deactivated the areas of the brain that controlled responses to worldly stimuli. Over time, the ability to control your focus upon the inner world and not upon the outer world is a direct result of the rewiring of the brain which is directly influenced by meditation.

Focus upon the purposeful not the superfluous 

Meditation is more than just a few umm’s while sitting cross-legged on the floor with sweet smelling incense burning and exotic music playing in the background. Meditation results in significant health benefits that help us to live a long and productive life. It is our ability to control our thoughts and focus upon the meaningful things in life and not the superfluous which bring about true happiness and good health.
