Attention and Attitude II

Image
Attention and Attitude II Living life as an Awakened Being is a different kind of life than that of muggles (what I used to call mundanes, pre-Harry Potter). Some of us are here to be drug addicts, others millionaires, others moms, or pimps. By the time we leave earth we will have experienced everything. You never know where people are in their Soul development based on earth plane circumstances.   Many leave the hardest classes for last and are Advanced Souls here, looking like addicts or whores. This doesn’t mean you allow people to rob you or take advantage of you because you think they might be Advanced Souls. It does mean don’t be quick to judge others, but more importantly don’t judge yourself. Do keep your eye on what matters….. your evolution and your Journey. What does that mean, keep your eye on your Journey? It means that no matter what you are going through, drug addiction, obsessions, depression, success….your focus (where you place your Attention) defines the

I Pray…. But Nothing Happens

Image
Nothing IS something. Prayers are simple:   help me, show me, and thank you. One does not boss Spirit around by telling Spirit what one needs or how to solve one’s problems. Venting to Spirit, yes, that works. You can give Spirit your anger, sadness, depression, confusion as well as your gratitude, love, joy.   Giving All to Spirit keeps your energy stream flowing, clear, bubbling, rocks, twist and turns.   Giving All to Spirit keeps you in touch with your inner life, your feelings, your energy levels, and your blocks.   It also keeps you honest instead of trying to present yourself as a “good” girl or boy. You ARE good… not perfect, but yes good. This means there is no reason to put your best foot forward to the All-That-Is-Energy that knows everything. You might as well choose instead to be authentic. That way you are telling Spirit you are willing to face everything, to receive Guidance for everything, that you accept your Self as a divine being traversing a human trail. When y

Why Live? Where you Are is not Who you Are

Why Live.   Where you Are is not Who you Are So many get depressed. “I don’t want to be here…. On Earth” is the mournful howl of the Personality that has forgotten it is Soul.   When one signs up to hike the Pacific Crest Trail that runs from Mexico to Canada, you can be sure to encounter heavy weather, rock slides, hunger, perhaps even accidents. Times of profound loneliness during the quiet hours, and deep questioning that typically comes with journey can also become familiar friends on the trail.   I have yet to meet anyone who traversed part or whole of the PCT who was not exhilarated by the experience, the effort, the exertion, the adventure. All tell stories if at least one time (if not more) when, in the middle of the journey, they despaired, wished it was over, sure they had made the wrong decision, even wanted to give up completely. It is normal on a trek, to go through all of these emotional colors. It is part of the growth, the experience, and the strengthening.

Resistance is Futile

Resistance is Futile Like a true love relationship, the relationship with Spirit progresses, deepens, challenges one to be more than one could have ever been if traveling the Path alone. Spiritual work is not all butterflies and unicorns. Often it is at first, as Spirit courts the Soul to get the reluctant earth plane personality on board. That is the honeymoon period.   And it is what is one can find in many New Age advertisements that promise delights that appeal to the ego and lower body desires as you slowly find yourself becoming a workshop junkie, or a crystal junkie or any other kind of   quick fix to feel good….. for a bit.   The true work is driven by something bigger than one’s brain.   Spirit leads one to ask questions that one could never even imagine to ask, and offers opportunities one cannot “manifest” (a favorite New Age promise—take my workshop and you can manifest—money, weight loss, a lover etc) because what Spirit offers you is beyond the imagination of y
