#17 Spirituality -The use of language
To study my words is to not understand.
To feel my words is to complete the communication from me to you.
I have a concept - you read my words - you feel the concept - the communication cycle is complete - you may have to read the paragraph or entire article again to do this.
That's how language should work -imho.
To tear apart one of my sentences, indeed any sentence from any author, removed from the whole is to become the worst academic.
And in my determination to get the concept across I tend to take liberties with the language partly from a lack of expertise and also because I don't think 'conversational' english is a sin !!!
My words point to the idea I wish to impart - and by the time the article or sub-section within it is finished hopefully the summation of words somehow merges with the idea.
Sometimes it's a few concepts strung together under a general heading with a conclusion.
Some times it's one idea.
My hope is you can piece things together thus.
To get my idea and fill in the things I should have mentioned and omitted to write!
To tie up loose ends..or add links to a succession of ideas that I forgot put in.
And in addition I hope to spawn you taking things further.
"Oh I see what she's doing -she's contrasting this with the earlier one,
or maybe that's my idea and Paloma might agree - that's groovy :)) "
I suppose I am calling for some compassion when we read what people write.
'Badly written' works may yet have great truth in them and many, many insights for us.
Often people are writing in english as a second language (I am not).
I try to feel what they're going on about before I discard stuff.
I tend to 'power-read' or 'skim-read' the whole thing to get an overall idea first -then read it. -or for a book -I might 'dip into' bits of it along it's full course or read chapter headings.
This can be 'dangerous' so I hold my quickie overall view only as a hypothesis for the actually reading.
My point is - because of the way I think language functions best - I am trying to integrate and author's writings into the fullest body of her work I can get or feel like reading.
I don't like to differentiate sentences and pieces of it for 'fear' of loosing her big picture.
And I watch out for spiritual types -redefining words...lol
"Consciousness means knowing" etc...It doesn't...it means being aware of being aware -that's what it says in my dictionary !!!
But again ..maybe he was trying to say "Consciousness leads to knowing"..but sometimes they don't ...lol
Analogies. I tend not to employ them - I find myself discussing the thing itself.
An analogy is the poor cousin of talking about the thing itself...lol. (that was almost an analogy). I don't find myself holding the centre like a 'graceful ballerina' or finding the stillness of a 'still lake'. Ballerinas probably have bad ankles and gymnastically tensed muscles and lakes have all sorts of associations like being flat maybe...lol. It's confusing.
However, I have read some wonderful spiritual analogies but one must withdraw from them asap - or else we find ourselves in the analogy and not feeling the actual thing.
.For my stuff:-
Going deeper -try to feel me.
Try to feel what I am saying.
You can access me any time you like -I am here, I was always here - I will always be here :)
To study the subject an author puts forward is to dwell on it for the time of the read and later in subsequent ponderings.
Indeed,one can disagree ,dislike or battle with an author all the way through her work and emerge yet with insights and blessings!
Thus I write of feelings and spirituality and am happy to point you that way and feel these things, 'the spiritual dimensions' are something I consider very much worth the exploration whether you concur with my thoughts or not.
It doesn't matter what I believe -it's all about you -feel your way -feel your own truth - follow your bliss and all that !!! :))
Love you,
The Totally Huggable Concept

#16 Spirituality - What is Love ?
#16 Spirituality - What is Love ?
'What is love' seems to deserve it's own article/blog posting here: though it is short.
I can define love and settle several thousand years of philosophical debate !!
Ready?

#15 Spirituality -Can anyone be really helped? v.2
#15 Spirituality -Can anyone be really helped? Version 2 -much added
In #14 , I discussed :-
Everything is Perfect.
There is nothing to fix.
There is nothing to do.
.Preamble
I suggested that the answer depends on from which viewpoint ,from which angle, that you look at it.
I also suggested that from 'our view ' here among the cars and 3 bedroom houses that things do not seem perfect,there's plenty to fix and a lot to do -like perhaps fix Global Warming.
I offered other suggestions from what I might imagine an 'Awakened/Enlightened View' and perhaps a Divine View. Namely that Life just is, and it's only our judgements that we criticise!
I pointed out that a Perfect Infinite Creator wouldn't by definition create a perfect world necessarily - but that's how it feels to me !!!
Though Life just is - it may well be perfect !
And also that there is really nothing to do to improve the Creation -but one can take the opportunity we have been given -to have fun with it or perhaps impose our own set of values upon it thus to enjoy our individuality, express ourselves in groups of like minded people and even change the whole world.
I could expand this to say that perhaps we could Create some thing Wonderful and Decent and then offer it to the Creator and say "What do you think of that? -Isn't it totally groovy?" hehe.
Restated (again!):-
I see things as just things and not needing improving.
My opinions,concepts ,labels and judgements on things are just mine when these things themselves clearly are just things without these labels.
...and more than that -they are all created by God,the Divine,the Infinite Awareness so who am I to caste judgement upon them?
But everything does feel perfect to me.!
Substituting people for things in the above - gives us the questions:-
Are people perfect (as they are)?
There is no one to 'fix'?...There is no one to help?
There's nothing to do to help people?..There's no reason to help people?
more succinctly:-
People are perfect?
No one to help?
No reason to help?
.There's no reason to help people -people just are -why caste judgement up on them?
and
.There's no reason to help the already perfect people?
Ouch -that seems a bit harsh !
Using my refusal as ever to entertain reasoned debate straight from my highly developed powers of deductive reasoning...lol
Refusing to to that - because I seek a spiritual path and use my awareness and feelings:-
What do I feel?
How does this feel?
Well it feels horrible -eeek- I want to help people and make less suffering for them I suppose.
I could see myself eating a burger in a detached way watching someone drown at the sea side...eek2 "Noooooooo"
I see myself not bothering to help an injured animal if i could -eek3 "Noooooooo"
I see myself not concerned with Humanities' spiritual growth..eek4 "Noooooooo"
If you struggled through my preceding posting #14 Everything is perfect? using that methodology the answers drop out:-
Yup, people just are - to help them is to label them as imperfect and needing fixing.
Yup,people do feeeeel to me however -perfect as they are!
Yup, I choose to help people because I want to live in a world where people are happier and show better care for this blue planet and everything on it.
I want this not to improve on the Creation, the God-created people, the Divinely-created people - but just to satisfy my desires for the people of the world.
.So that's it then? Sorted? We can all go back to Second Life and go shopping?
Hmmmm.
Clearly I and others hold sentient beings (people and animals) as more valuable than things like wooden posts and make-up.
We're putting the horse before the cart!
People (and fluffy animals) seem somehow more precious?
Not to wash the car (not fix it) seems fine -but to watch another suffer (not fix them) seems harder.
So is this just a judgement?
People are more valuable than things?
"Time not important. Only life important." from the movie The Fifth Element.(lol)
The Shamans tell us 'consciousness is in everything -the people,the animals,the plants,the rocks,the lakes,the sky,the planets,the stars..everything'.
"Consciousness sleeps in the rocks,dreams in the plants,stirs in the animals and awakens in Man" The Secret DVD...
(..maybe? - ever chatted to a crystal or the Moon or Gaia...lol)
When I type this -I am on your vibration and you perceive it.
When a Shaman talks to a lake -perhaps he feels it just as sentient -I will have to ask.
Does the crystal,or lake, or thing have the rest of it's identity in another dimension ?
Do we see just the tips of the metaphysical icebergs with things?
I feel there's something going on like this -you might think I am nuts but the crystals and trees and so forth feel sentient to me; even a pentagram ring I had didn't like me!
Maybe this is my creation?
Am I making things this way?
But others do perceive these things,,hundreds of thousands of us ,planet wide.
So to tune into the correct vibration is the ability to talk to ...anything.
This is what I feel
This is not mathematics.(I have no Q.E.D.quod erat demonstrandum)
This is what I feel.
This is using those perceptions that us spiritual types go on and on about - why just see with your eyes - when you can get a cart load more data by feeeel ???
okay so if we go from this viewpoint:
Things are just as sentient as the people in our lives.
...we still have the situation where people suffer !! Rocks don't seem to suffer here -maybe a polluted lake could feel distress but lakes are BIG...(maybe that's part of it).
But things appear not to show the distress that a weeping child does.
So that makes people:-
a. More important than things?
b. Needing more urgency to help?
c. Or is it just that the 'people channel' is familiar vibration that we tune into. We hear the our friend's distress transmission (they speak) but don't pick up the transmitted vibration from the nearby fresh water stream (the way it feels).
Hmmmmm...lol
Well it depends on one's position I suppose - I am sure there are many that hold the life of a chimpanzee (awww blesss) higher than that of almost any human. And others who would do nasty things to the employees of drug companies that do live animal testing. And there's the anti-human folks who presumably calculate Nature is better off without us.
But there's not a lot of love in some of these types of computations!
But all are points of view.
I suppose that's it really -what's your position ,your angle,your view,your concern with helping people?
Do you cry and worry and help?
Or do you find yourself detached?
Or does it depend on how 'good' you feel the person is?
Or whether they are an 'innocent victim'?
Or your family and friends?
'God made us'
'God made us perfect'
-if you subscribe to one or both of these or feel them, this may be a way to let go of 'things you cannot control', people you are unable to help.
Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching has been translated as saying "Hold the centre"
One can be neutral with people not in a lack of love but only in neither reaching out to them or withdrawing from them.
I feel from the center, neutrality, surrender, acceptance and from detachment one still can love -this position is not 'cold'. (One is accepting things as they are <they just exist> - not accepting one's judgements -not accepting 'bad' things).
In life this is a valuable tool as well for failures to help and failures generally -all of which of course are more judgements...lol...yawn...lol.
Personal struggle and misfortune spawns growth as we know. The recovered cancer patient and their new way of viewing the world -often they bless the cancer and wouldn't have had their lives go any other way.
If I had rushed in with some reiki healing and cured them,denying this spiritual growth time line -would I have really helped them?
Or just sated my desire not to see them suffer? Just acted on my judgement of them?
.Love and Help
.Let me offer even another viewpoint - and ask to reconsider priorities.
Many spheres of educated people will tell us that Survival is our true motivator and urge.
This they hold is higher in us than duty or love or decency or fairness or any of the intangible(?) spiritual values.
They position us as scared cornered animals that will tear anything apart merely to live another second.
But this has not been our history has it?
Individuals time and time and time again have put their lives second to higher causes.
Indeed they are our champions and heroes - rather than some sucker who didn't live!
Many died from an instant decision .."No - I would rather die"
And others 'killed themselves' slowly there entire life or had a longer period to contemplate death's inevitability - ! The Christian Missionaries,some Monks,the Saints,some inventors,personnel at war in the armed forces,- all offered their lives for a higher cause than bodily survival.
What intrigues me are the Agnostics among them - that a person who knows he will disappear forever when his bodily life is over -for him or her to give that up for a higher cause. Words fail.
What common thread in their consciousness motivated them to perform this "supreme sacrifice"?
But there was this urge -a higher motivation that I feel is deep within all of us.
I am not asking you to think about it!
I am asking you to feel it in yourself !!!
Mothers will gladly (British english) stand in front of the bullet to save their children.
For Behavioural Psychology to degrade this to some genetic species survival trait feels incorrect to me!
How does it feel for you?
Is this a 'soul' thing or a 'meat body' thing?
Some call it Duty . I shall call it Decency -but it's the feeling not the words.
Words only point to feelings and concepts.
Pure Love. Maybe this is supreme and rises yet again above duty and decency?
I think so.
Love is pure you say...lol...let's not go there - you know what I mean!
Just loving -only love ...love...that one !! Please just feel it :)
(.back to helping)
So with this feeling of duty or decency and Pure Love as the higher motivators than mere body survival where do we stand with helping others?
If one can assume the highest vibration possible at any given moment - then spiritually I feel what follows are one's 'highest' decisions.
From this high vibration then let's consider this lovely blue planet and all the creatures great an small!
Suddenly we recycle old cans out of love and not because the neighbours do it.
We feed a stray cat with love.
We give to charity with love.
We promote causes of nature preservation ,not for mankind's future or our children's future so much as, out of Love.
Feel the whole world from here -from Love.
It should offer a different approach!
Importantly -we also feel some stray cats we meet should not be fed.
Some charities don't feel right to give to -at that time.
And sometimes Nature must come before Mankind !!!
Things we "should do" now seem clear. Or clearer.
Consider "tough love" where one denies a person of something as an act of love - actions that mimic lower vibrations , or are 'higher harmonics' of cruelty perhaps.
It seems unfair but it is love.
To feel these things from Love is vastly different than reasoning one should do this to your child because a child care book has said so.
Rise above your thoughts and the endless calculations and extrapolations of the future and just feel.
Life is not chess -there are not moves to try to predict.
If I help this person they will get a better job -these thoughts to me seems too material -too much in the mind,too calculating,too much like chess.
Should I help this person? - From Love - How does that feel?
There's your answer !
Should I work at this factory that does that to the nearby lake?
(should I help the lake?)
maybe yes
maybe no
How does it feel?
From Love : Must we as a species and individually act more in harmony with nature - even though we may be inconvenienced by today's standards?
Is there a win-win scenario?
Is humanity, any one life, so precious as to save it no matter what happens to our environment?
These are what are called 'leading questions' please consider(feel) the opposites of their inferences.
With helping anyone or anything - just love - and there is our way forward!
.Conclusion -to this idea -Does anyone need help?
I think one must feels one's way.
'Should I help?'.. These decisions will not think through.
I would say if you feel motivated to help -do so.
If it succeeds -that's cool :)
If you fail despite your best efforts to help, or limited efforts to help or get rejected by the person -that's cool also.
The thing is we are all parts of God.
It's been said by many that we are parts of God to help God experience things from as many different viewpoints as possible.
"Every act reveals God and expands His being.
I know that may be hard
to comprehend.
All creatures are doing their best
to help God in His birth
of Himself."
Meister Eckhart
[Quoted by someone to me...may not be verbatim correct -doesn't matter]
Sooooo... you got an identity made from the Infinite Awareness of the Creator.
That identity is what we think of as me and you.
If that identity feels motivated to something -go for it!
Help them , help people when you feel it's right.
But everything is perfect.
People are perfect.
People are just parts of God and don't really need fixing.
People are Divine.
Don't worry about it.
.My final thoughts on helping
My ultimate conclusion is to love.
Let us ascend to the high vibration and dwell in Pure Love!
With helping anyone or anything - just love - and there is our way forward! ...(repeated)
When sure about helping another - love.
When unsure - love.
When successful in help - love them
When unsuccessful in help - love them and yourself.
When frustrated with another - love them
When rejected by another - love them
When happy - love
In despair - love
In life - love
Just love and the vibration will spread like the warm glow of summer and touch all that you meet and many you never meet. Often we forget this is more powerful than we imagine - we are all connected :))
Let us make a decent wonderful world.
It's not that we want to solve the Creator's mistakes!
We just want to make something glorious filled with love and compassion.
And help people so as to make an awakened world where humanity is totally gerooovy.
We have a blank canvas, an opportunity.
One day we can turn to The Divinity and say:-
"Look at what we have created - Isn't it delightful?
Look at the people now ! See how we have helped them to love?
It just an expression of our love that we hold for You and everyone and everything.
Here -have some chocolate :)) "
Love to all
The Helper

My ultimate conclusion is to love.
Let us ascend to the high vibration and dwell in Pure Love!
With helping anyone or anything - just love - and there is our way forward! ...(repeated)
When sure about helping another - love.
When unsure - love.
When successful in help - love them
When unsuccessful in help - love them and yourself.
When frustrated with another - love them
When rejected by another - love them
When happy - love
In despair - love
In life - love
Just love and the vibration will spread like the warm glow of summer and touch all that you meet and many you never meet. Often we forget this is more powerful than we imagine - we are all connected :))
Let us make a decent wonderful world.
It's not that we want to solve the Creator's mistakes!
We just want to make something glorious filled with love and compassion.
And help people so as to make an awakened world where humanity is totally gerooovy.
We have a blank canvas, an opportunity.
One day we can turn to The Divinity and say:-
"Look at what we have created - Isn't it delightful?
Look at the people now ! See how we have helped them to love?
It just an expression of our love that we hold for You and everyone and everything.
Here -have some chocolate :)) "
Love to all
The Helper

#14 Spirituality - Everything is Perfect?
#14 Spirituality - Everything is Perfect?
Life is perfect?
.Preamble
"Oh yes, life is perfect" and I just smile and go all pink and fluffy. lol
"But last Tuesday, when I was in the dentist's chair and a cold sweat, praying for the novocaine to fully kick in - life was far from prefect!"
I don't want to give example's of life's less than perfect funny little imperfections, as some them are not funny and not little and I feel it would be needlessly uncouth to mention them here. You know what I am talking about....[the dentist scene above is a comedic lie - I put it in quotes?]
The thing is -some people feel Everything is made by the Divinity,The Creator.
And the Divinity is Perfect.
Hence:
"All is perfect"
"There's nothing to fix"
"There's nothing to do"
Here's my two cents worth on this:-
.Everything is Perfect?
Can a Perfect,Infinite Being make imperfections?
Yes.
But are not those 'imperfections' actually perfect imperfections?
Maybe these imperfections are there for a reason or something and just perfect unto themselves?
Which would mean the Creator with His Infinite Power cannot make an imperfection because it's perfect!..?
A God-made perfect imperfection?
Well this is all intellectual mumbo jumbo and has little to do with my world...what do I feel?
(If you want to go further down this route try Socrates (Historic or Platonic) - he is realllly good at it...lol)
But I can descend further (!) into mind games and 'philosophy' thus:
Can an Infinite Being make mistakes -is this something It cannot do? ...lol
Maybe on the 7th day He said:
"Whooops!!! What a foul up! Hmmm.... let's leave that one and build another one over here. I mustn't build worlds after eating lentils."
But the fact that this Reality is here means She(!) must have been okay with leaving it as it is.
Otherwise it would have been 'right click-delete'.
Whether this Mistakes-Were-Made Scenario is actually still a Perfect World or not is data perhaps unavailable to us.
This is all silliness and more intellectual mumbo jumbo because I was trying to figure out with the reasoning mind what the Creator did at the Dawn of Creation!!!
...It's just another Big Bang Hypothesis !
My point is to deduce with the reasoning mind that the Perfect Creator could only have made a perfect world is fine but nothing to do with spirituality.
It's almost Newtonian physics - a good machine will make good products -yet some of the greatest scientific breakthroughs were from accidents. The excellently prepared experiment faltered and wow penicillin !! I feel it was Pasteur's intention and thought that drove his discovery to manifest in the physical world -he was looking for something and this was the true cause.
For spirituality we have to feel our way -we spiritual types maintain that the Divine can be percieved but not with our eyes perhaps -just felt.
.Is Everything perfect?
It's pretty simple:
It depends how you look at it -from which viewpoint one assumes and how one judges these things.
'Good' things are just good for us - I win the lottery-"Hooray"; and I build a huge house in the forest -all the trees and animals go "Booooo"!
And there's the Divine View - maybe on the seventh day God also said:
"Yuppers -it's all Perfect and I put in some you-will-call-them Imperfections, for reasons only a few of you may discover"
I've opened the subject for you to feel your way.
As I have said before in earlier scriptures in this blog - one cannot often think these things through with deductive reasoning alone -it just goes around and around. I again implore you to feel with your 'soul' (you) - feel these things.
.There's our view and the Creator's View.
What do you feel?
Is the World Perfect?
-- From our view:
I feeeel (lol) that "Perfect" is just a judgement - it's like "good" thing / "bad" thing - it's just a label on something that otherwise just is.
For me it boils down to this:-
I perceive a World,a reality which exists -it is.
I perceive that this World was made by the Creator.
-- And in moments of clarity and stillness I perceive that the world is perfect.
By which I mean that's as close as I have been to the Divine View !!!
.Is Everything perfect?
.What do you feel?
How does it look if you let go of as many judgements as possible?
Don't forget all your judgements seem "true" -that's how it works -they are your creation.
And I see these beliefs as manifesting in our lives so the 'evidence' of their truth follows.
"Life is a bitch",
"Life is a beach"!
It depends on your view of life doesn't it?
Suffering, for example, may have blessings for you -it may feel needed for growth and offer a greater appreciation of the 'little things' later.
Some things may feel deeply true which just reflects who you are -your core.
It's okay - enjoy this identity within the oneness -and change bits of your persona you don't like when you can.
But does Everything all feel somehow perfect?
That's your truth - my truth may vary - but perhaps so long as I don't put a horrible vibration out there my ideas are not so important.
What do you feel?
Is Life Perfect?
.The 'practical view.'..Is Everything perfect?
Some people feel that bad things are just bad and that's that.
"I am sorry -you weren't there - it was awful -if there is a God, I have an enemy"
and
"I am a spiritual person, a psychic , there is love in the world and there is it's opposite fear. Fear in people causes them to do bad things and hurt others"
I don't want to offer a logical argument opposing these views per the above, I think it's not valid, not spiritual.
But to me they still feel like beliefs and belief systems layered on top of what is.
I don't feel these bad thing are really good things either - I just don't think anything has any innate in-built badness, wrongness or evil in it.
That's what I feel.
Sometimes in horror I do instantly judge things as bad -or do I? It's more like I label things as 'wanted by me' and 'unwanted by me'.
From my view as an identity - for things I didn't make happen - I hesitate to question the wisdom in them -I feeeeeel like I am criticising God! This is because I feel God made Everything.
.The Awakened view? - of 'Is Life perfect'?
We've looked at our view and considered the Divine view -let me introduce the 'Awakened' view.
I feel the people we call the "Awakened" or possibly "Enlightened" see everything as a kind of unreal fabrication sort of in the mind of God.
They see handbags, traffic,our bodies and sea shores as kind of make-up.
Suffering ,pain and pleasure as created layer put on the top of things.
Emotions as a creation within a construct of beliefs and ideas that create an individual out of a soup of Infinite Awareness called the Divine.
Nothing seems real to them .
There's nothing to take too seriously
Everything seems to have a comedy aspect to it.
The fat smiling Buddha -he's not too bothered about high cholesterol is he? I bet he thinks that's funny.
All bad things seem to have that British indomitable humour to it :
"Your father has passed?"
"Yes as long as I live I will never forget his last words:
"Oh Fu*k -It's a bus!"
Nobody dies do they?
I mean my mother died and I cried..but she hasn't gone ..I feel sometimes she still communicates to me ...it's like she's moved to Australia.
And there's 'letting go'.
The Awakened Gurus and so forth talk of letting go of a clinging desire for the outcome of something. Try something and it works; that's cool -if it fails; then that's okay also.
They don't offer resistance to what happens.
It's "Why bother?" I suppose - nothing is so important to get stressed out about.
They're the person reading a newspaper and playing chess in the park - the other guy is hunched over the board tense and frowning and not daring to look up for fear of loosing. It's not that the Awakened newspaper reader is a chess master confident in victory under all circumstances and against all opponents - she just isn't worried about it. But ironically she thus plays a better game and would win mostly.
It would appear that to have something , anything, money,happiness, enlightenment one has to fully and totally let go of it first.
It's the resistance to not having the thing that seems to push it away -and the Gurus etc get into that by not seeing anything the world has to offer as vitally needed. The mechanism for this, we are told, is that 'thoughts creates things' and that what we hold as visualisations or concepts (not having it) manifest.
So if we step back from the world and our deadly serious lack of money in it (lol) for a second and see things in a bigger picture, Life looks different -we have a different view.
It's all slightly comical.
And this view ,the big picture approaches the View of oneness and the Divine.
From the Awakened/Enlightened view is Everything perfect? I imagine it would be pretty cool -yes !
.There's nothing to fix
I can go with that.
The world just is.
The world is.
To 'fix' it is just to change the world to reflect my judgements.
.There's nothing to do.
Hmmmm.
God went to a lot of ruddy trouble to make this lovelly Creation.
And He made us too.
And we find ourselves blessed with Her power to create (make things).
And some of us feel we have an infinite capacity as we are all one with each other and the Divinity.
So why waste it?
The Game or Opportunity or Fun Times or Spiritual Awakening are available if we make them happen (create).
Why not have a go at it?
But we are not trying to fix things or improve on imperfections.
Suffering is not bad - Suffering just exists...etc
The world just is -the labels (good,corrupt,wrong,delightful) are our own.
We can even have judgements about things and change the world to fit them - that's okay. So long as we remember they are just our judgements.
"I like chocolate -places without decent chocolate are no good - thus I will bring quality chocolate to those places"...etc
.Is life perfect?
Well if I could relax about it -it feels like it probably is!
But I don't really care if I am stressed or not these days - It all seems to pass.
And I am not bothered about being enlightened either -I sort of gave up on it.
Maybe that's half way?
Yes- I feel Everything is perfect!
What do you feel?
.and there's a thing I want to change in the world, it's not a fix for where God went wrong but it's something I would like to see in the Creation :-
'I would like a spiritually awakened world. A world where humanity takes responsibility for this blue planet and the fluffy animals and lovely trees and plants and stuffs...Seriously :))
And if I help that manifest through my lifestyle and example and these writings then that alone would give me a tearful happiness.
I ask for nothing else from the Creation; save only the power of my will to accomplish the task, with the good fortune and serendipity to bring this about.
I will keep 'coming back' until this is done.
Be very very afraid Lord (lol) ; you have made many of us who also have this desire and some of them are giants and all are filled with a great resolve.
Amen'
Love you,
The Perfect

Paloma Porta Quotes -various subjects (I will keep adding to it)
Paloma Porta Quotes -various subjects (I will keep adding to it)
It looks like I have the big ego here - my quotes ...lol ...but I don't.
I almost humbly include these for your consideration!
LOOK LATER FOR MORE EXCITING QUOTES ADDED AS I GO ALONG :)) lol
...new ones added to the top...
[2011/11/28 21:45] Paloma Porta:I went to a sort of self help meeting today in SL...The instructor found herself trying to fix me..my identity..but I felt it slightly comical...what is there to fix? I feel a part of the Divine...and my suffering when it happens is a manifestation of Life. I feel that no mater how happy or sad I am (due to my judgements on what actually is the Perfectness of the Creation!) that there is no 'enlightenment' for me. All is well. :)
...Yes. I find it runs deeply within me - even those things that I feel I must learn -or discover...what of them? I am a little bit of the Divine experiencing! A am Life.
...Perhaps the paradox (that only the soul and not the mind can master) is to feel happy with the unhappiness -and then obviously the happiness we feel we should be seeking, occurs.
[2011/11/15 17:20] Paloma Porta:I felt from this -that all feelings or beliefs of sickness and lack of wellness are one of the dubious functions of our minds..Wherever these ideas come from, the thoughts arising might be considered amusingly illogical and not perhaps something we would agree with - to imagine a body part as less than perfect seems the loving approach to one's body and to dwell on sickness and worry about sickness suddenly to me seems comical and to be ignored as like the wining of a spoilt child.
It's a bit of a shame that currently old is bad and ,young is good..Wisdom with age seems not to be as important as springing around like a gazelle and looking young.
For myself I feel the same mental energy as I get older -but physically I am aware of some sloth perhaps-I don't feel like running around.as much.
Metaphysically we are not the same person as when we are younger if one defines the individual as a compound belief system and presume we create and dissolve beliefs as we go along (change our minds)
...So mentally then, I like ageing for the wisdom, insights that come with time in this game - I just like this 'time game' // physically I just accept any changes .
I have been reincarnating for a long time and each phase of life I like to embrace for it's advantages - to see a particular age as not as good as another -presumes the Creator made a mistake!!--- and one is left wondering whether 'good' or 'bad' ages or.. anything.. are just our judgement of the situation.
Final piece of dogma..lol...To think with the mind is to see life through the human view. To feel life as something bigger maybe a higher self or even the Divine -is too really relax in the face of suffering ..as i said .The view changes - the problems go.
Paloma Porta: one can have an old looking body and be groovy --i hate to say this..but the wizard Gandalf the Grey ..Tolkien describes his race as "old yet vigorous"
[2011/11/10 17:42] Paloma Porta:
Imagine everyone and every spec of creation as having a magnificence,a greatness, and an infinite intelligence and wisdom. Things proceed immaculately as they are all part of the Tao...meanwhile one could laugh at one's judgement.!!
"Miss Universe Question": (posed by Princess Aquila in SL)
If a visitor from another world came and ask U, "I don't understand your humanity, can U explain it 2 me? How can U be so nice and so mean 2 each other at the same time?" How will U answer that?
My answer:
Humanity displays a spectrum of emotions towards different things or each other - to assume our species has a certain quality is to presume we are not spiritual beings!
Spiritual beings display a wide range of emotion - one could imagine "depraved dimensions or hells" and "realms of the Gods and demi-gods" as well as Earth.
Any species seems to have inherent biological characteristics -the pet snake cannot be completely trusted and so forth.
But a Human differs from the animals -he has a mind,she is aware of being aware.
Thus to look for an innate drive in Humanity, save body-survival, is fruitless - we are spiritual beings - And thus we can be "so nice and so mean 2 each other at the same time" imho.
[2011/09/15 17:54] Paloma Porta: On acceptance and individuality : speaking to a Muslim today -he said "his will, was Divine Will" -which is hard to argue against! - so when things go "wrong" [ or are "good" or "bad"] one is left wondering if that is only our judgement of the situation.
Defending my stated position that nothing is bad:
[2011/11/13 21:08] Paloma Porta: Some see it as polarities - there is no good with out bad which seems logical in the spectrum of judgement - but i see it as different viewpoints :eg if 75% of humanity was wiped out by plague - nature might recover etc which might be good and bad from different angles/viewpoints.
[I added the following now:]
From my imagined Divine View of The Creator of all things, surely things are just things. All of life could be regarded as (a 'dream') in the mind of the Creator . Are things that happen in our dreams or imagination good or bad ?
Some see things (murder) as inherently and innately bad when regarded from *any* viewpoint.
But I would only say this : we are Creators -what shall we create? Shall we create life as a horror movie or something wonderful and something Decent.
For me , having considered all the viewpoints I feel I can access - murder still isn't bad by definition - it's just like creating a world that has: no chocolate,slow traffic,poor lipstick, a dull painting and a lack of Decency -something I do not want myself or others to experience.
My best analogy is the Blank Canvas- one can paint a murder ,love and a chocolate factory - One can paint Decency onto our lives - but there is no good and bad in the images we draw.
I don't see murder and the worst possible things as bad or wrong - and I don't see love,compassion,joy, and not suffering etc as good either - but the 'bad' things are something I would rather myself or others did not create and the 'good' and Decent things are something I would prefer!
It's a personal choice,my preference of experiences available to me in the world -one doesn't buy a broken microwave and one doesn't murder -but these options exist.
It's a fine or nice differentiation. I am relabelling bad things as 'not wanted by me' - that the Creator should embrace them is Her business and offer no judgement upon Him !!!.
Yet I still cry.
[2011/11/09 08:15] Paloma Porta: We can also bless the water already in our bodies - and fill it with love -a love that shines to others and all of Creation -as we follow that love outwards, slowly we see that everything is a part of us -we are all one and yet individual. Let us just love.
Love.
The almost humble

[2011/11/15 17:20] Paloma Porta:I felt from this -that all feelings or beliefs of sickness and lack of wellness are one of the dubious functions of our minds..Wherever these ideas come from, the thoughts arising might be considered amusingly illogical and not perhaps something we would agree with - to imagine a body part as less than perfect seems the loving approach to one's body and to dwell on sickness and worry about sickness suddenly to me seems comical and to be ignored as like the wining of a spoilt child.
It's a bit of a shame that currently old is bad and ,young is good..Wisdom with age seems not to be as important as springing around like a gazelle and looking young.
For myself I feel the same mental energy as I get older -but physically I am aware of some sloth perhaps-I don't feel like running around.as much.
Metaphysically we are not the same person as when we are younger if one defines the individual as a compound belief system and presume we create and dissolve beliefs as we go along (change our minds)
...So mentally then, I like ageing for the wisdom, insights that come with time in this game - I just like this 'time game' // physically I just accept any changes .
I have been reincarnating for a long time and each phase of life I like to embrace for it's advantages - to see a particular age as not as good as another -presumes the Creator made a mistake!!--- and one is left wondering whether 'good' or 'bad' ages or.. anything.. are just our judgement of the situation.
Final piece of dogma..lol...To think with the mind is to see life through the human view. To feel life as something bigger maybe a higher self or even the Divine -is too really relax in the face of suffering ..as i said .The view changes - the problems go.
Paloma Porta: one can have an old looking body and be groovy --i hate to say this..but the wizard Gandalf the Grey ..Tolkien describes his race as "old yet vigorous"
[2011/11/10 17:42] Paloma Porta:
Imagine everyone and every spec of creation as having a magnificence,a greatness, and an infinite intelligence and wisdom. Things proceed immaculately as they are all part of the Tao...meanwhile one could laugh at one's judgement.!!
"Miss Universe Question": (posed by Princess Aquila in SL)
If a visitor from another world came and ask U, "I don't understand your humanity, can U explain it 2 me? How can U be so nice and so mean 2 each other at the same time?" How will U answer that?
My answer:
Humanity displays a spectrum of emotions towards different things or each other - to assume our species has a certain quality is to presume we are not spiritual beings!
Spiritual beings display a wide range of emotion - one could imagine "depraved dimensions or hells" and "realms of the Gods and demi-gods" as well as Earth.
Any species seems to have inherent biological characteristics -the pet snake cannot be completely trusted and so forth.
But a Human differs from the animals -he has a mind,she is aware of being aware.
Thus to look for an innate drive in Humanity, save body-survival, is fruitless - we are spiritual beings - And thus we can be "so nice and so mean 2 each other at the same time" imho.
[2011/09/15 17:54] Paloma Porta: On acceptance and individuality : speaking to a Muslim today -he said "his will, was Divine Will" -which is hard to argue against! - so when things go "wrong" [ or are "good" or "bad"] one is left wondering if that is only our judgement of the situation.
Defending my stated position that nothing is bad:
[2011/11/13 21:08] Paloma Porta: Some see it as polarities - there is no good with out bad which seems logical in the spectrum of judgement - but i see it as different viewpoints :eg if 75% of humanity was wiped out by plague - nature might recover etc which might be good and bad from different angles/viewpoints.
[I added the following now:]
From my imagined Divine View of The Creator of all things, surely things are just things. All of life could be regarded as (a 'dream') in the mind of the Creator . Are things that happen in our dreams or imagination good or bad ?
Some see things (murder) as inherently and innately bad when regarded from *any* viewpoint.
But I would only say this : we are Creators -what shall we create? Shall we create life as a horror movie or something wonderful and something Decent.
For me , having considered all the viewpoints I feel I can access - murder still isn't bad by definition - it's just like creating a world that has: no chocolate,slow traffic,poor lipstick, a dull painting and a lack of Decency -something I do not want myself or others to experience.
My best analogy is the Blank Canvas- one can paint a murder ,love and a chocolate factory - One can paint Decency onto our lives - but there is no good and bad in the images we draw.
I don't see murder and the worst possible things as bad or wrong - and I don't see love,compassion,joy, and not suffering etc as good either - but the 'bad' things are something I would rather myself or others did not create and the 'good' and Decent things are something I would prefer!
It's a personal choice,my preference of experiences available to me in the world -one doesn't buy a broken microwave and one doesn't murder -but these options exist.
It's a fine or nice differentiation. I am relabelling bad things as 'not wanted by me' - that the Creator should embrace them is Her business and offer no judgement upon Him !!!.
Yet I still cry.
[2011/11/09 08:15] Paloma Porta: We can also bless the water already in our bodies - and fill it with love -a love that shines to others and all of Creation -as we follow that love outwards, slowly we see that everything is a part of us -we are all one and yet individual. Let us just love.
Love.
The almost humble

#12 Spirituality - 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card
#12 'Get Out of Jail Free' Card
FIRST DRAFT [ -add italics]
..How to 'Get Out of Jail' from a really bad set of emotions..
The title is a reference to the board game Monopoly ...where this card if drawn gets you out of the board game 'Jail' square and you can carry on :)
Ideally you have studied my other postings here.
But let me catch you up fast if you have not
.This is my method
I want to introduce you to someone:
Paloma Porta ---The Mighty - The Invincible - The Creator of Worlds.
How can she be like this?
It's because we all are part of the Divine..the Infinite Awareness and define ourselves with a set of beliefs within that. Beliefs about the "Game" , The Illusion, The Matrix, ...limiting beliefs if you like -but it's not a negative thing -all is well :)
Mini-me , our persona is a creation within Big Me.
-but you may not feel these things - it doesn't matter read on !!
Imagine now or recall that "special time" when life really DIDN'T work out the bloody way you bloody wanted it :-
Consider from this place of anger/despair/grief... how Paloma feels when Paloma plus human or second life avatar has something 'bad' happen to her.
Normal people (lol) would feel an emotion - "Ohhh nooo- my car" [Weeping] - etc
Paloma does NOT require anything is this STUPID Reality to make her feel happy.
Paloma feels it is nice to be loved BUT does NOT require love from others to be happy.
Paloma feels it is nice to be approved of BUT does NOT require approval from others to be happy.
Paloma feels it is nice to be wealthy and rich BUT does not require any physical object to be happy.
Paloma has no peculiar set of requirements to be happy.
Paloma does not assign people or things as the source of her emotions.
Paloma is Source.
...Why assign people or things as the source of emotions?
...Why not be Source?
.Let me talk about you.
There you are in life's "Jail" with all the horrible stuff going on -you feel emotions you don't want to feel -right?
...Why assign people or things as the source of emotions?
...Why not be Source?
Who is controlling the emotions you are making?:-
Your husband?
Your daughter?
Your failure?
Your success?
Your lack of something?
Your possession of something?
Your stolen or damaged something?
Your hunger?
Your homelessness?
Your illness or body condition?
or worse - your lost mobile phone (cell phone) ?...LOL
The world out there - is in many ways, not you !
But it is your Creation.
And there is the oneness you may feel with it -like Everything is really part of a Big Me.
-but you may not feel these things -doesn't matter.
Who or what is controlling you??
In the Physical World stuff happens -this I understand - and things sometimes appear to be out of your control.
But how you react to events,incidents and conditions in your world is under your control.
Your emotions are under your control.
If you don't believe that contact me immediately and you can be my slave - I could use you [a joke, to make the point] -lol
What is controlling you? - more to the list:-
Beliefs systems?
Indoctrination by society?
Lack of enlightenment
Poor progress in meditation practice
Your Guru says you're not there yet?
Subliminal advertising?
Self doubt?
Because you don't have all the answers?
Because past experience shows me that when things happen I have emotions that are not under my control?
Because you believe [ put your idea in here for why you don't control your emotions -how you feel]
Every idea you have is your creation -life just isn't 'that way' !
Life is 'that way' because that is what you have created !
Life is 'that way' for others because that is what they have created !
Your conclusions of your life experience is not controlling your emotions - or is it?
.Now what?
.How to live.
Seeing that my emotions are sort of a bi-product of concepts I hold of the world, the whole emotions game seems a bit false - emotions really are just something of my own manufacture.
As I have grown into this, emotions have become creations and thus things.
And I feel my identity -the Paloma thing - as a creation also...
"oooo look I feel enthusiastic" really feels like "Paloma feels an emotion".
.Neutrality - being neutral.
With emotions as things ,and things associated mostly with the physical world they become less valid.
Behind any emotion seems to be lurking the "Watcher" or "Witness",the Infinite Awareness.
Judgment of others or situations seem to fall into the same category as they seem to produce emotions.
"This is bad -I feel bad".
By remaining neutral one can thus pop out of an assessment or judgment or label one has put on something and also pop out of the [negative?] emotion.
"This is bad - I feel bad ---->Wait -- I can be neutral here - 'bad' is only my judgment from the view of my persona - if all is Divine (The Really Big Me) what is bad? - so why feel bad over something that isn't bad ---cool I feel okay now ---maybe even happy ! "
We are Source.
We do not assign people or things as the source of our emotions.
We can be neutral.
And from Source we can create happiness - no matter what!
.note
Once we become increasingly neutral , let go of judgment and see things as they are -just things - life seems to respond to our will much better.
Well that's my theory anyway - have a go at it - we're all doing our best here, are we not? !

#11 Spirituality - How To Live!
#11 Spirituality - How To Live!
FIRST DRAFT [ -put the italics in]
So how does a spiritual person live from day to day in their reality?
Like everyone else - she has to create those things she wants and mentally reconcile those things she cannot seem to change.
The most materially ambitious people will state that their true goal is not wealth but "peace", "happiness" or "tranquility".
These things should be easily available to the spiritual person who has become 'aware'.
How does one attain a happy life?
.How to live?.
The first most important thing to do is to get out of your mind !!!
Preamble.
In this culture we are encouraged to think .There is plenty to think about these days. What the exact time is,what to eat,traffic,the government,bills,education,ambition etc.
In earlier cultures; time was where the sun is, eating was whatever was available, no cars, no complex government, no bills just food and shelter, no education except maybe a bit of shamanism, and no real and complicated ambition.
Spiritually it's probably a better way to live with a lot less to think about. Time was spent admiring trees and sunsets along with only simple demands on thinking for human necessities.
But thinking now is not a real solution to problems and having fun. The thoughts come from a series of belief systems installed by us in the mind and thoughts arrive mostly as judgement , past musings and future predictions.
And thoughts bring emotions and some of these emotions are not the peace we are looking for.
The contents of the mind echo our lifestyle and habitual thinking. It's based on linear time and the idea that to create something we have to change objects in the reality.
However, I have suggested linear time is only a concept and to change our reality one needs to form the idea in one's consciousness first. To create the future we need to feel the new creation within -not think,get upset and worry about it!
So the mind has a culturally programmed habitual method. It's crap basically...lol.
It supposes half the time that one needs a good lottery win to be happy...I mean really...is this you?...is this your genius manifesting? (Say No).
To step behind the mind and observe thoughts with any attitude one wishes is a revelation.
"Nobody likes me".... Pfffffffft wow ..Look at that thought Mother it's a corker!!!
"I hope my new job works out okay".
Personally I have downgraded the importance of my thoughts. I see them not all as negative and bad -but something generated from an old way of thinking.
I have had years when unhappy - and now I am clearing my mind somewhat and upgrading the quality of it's products...lol.
But I feel people need a trigger -an alert
WARNING! WARNING! -- NEGATIVE THOUGHTS--NEGATIVE EMOTIONS---STOP CREATING NOW !!!
hehe
What is creating your experience,your reality?
Luck?
Your ability to fix problems?
Your drive?
The 'Watcher' or your Higher Self is source of the 'human experience' and source of the mind.
When one can abandon thinking in the mind even for a few seconds, we can create with a thought and change our worlds.
For thoughts and emotions that seem less than helpful
"This is not me
I release these thoughts
I am neutral and without judgment.
I am the Watcher.
If I want something I just need to create it.
I let go more and more of these types of thoughts from the mind.
I am still
I am the Observer
I am the Witness
I am source."
.Alignment.
Thinking out solutions first is hit and miss - maybe one tries to create something that doesn't fit in with the Whole , the Oneness Everything.
But there seems to be a Flow -from "Go with the flow"
And one can align,line up with it in the Direction of Creation(?)
BUT to do this one must feel. Feel not think, as thinking seems to be separate from the Divinity and alignment sometimes.
If one has a belief and starts to worry around a subject the worry itself, to me , feels not aligned.
If one feels the way through the worry suddenly a solution appears that seems to relax me - and i feel this is the way
What is the Universal Direction that I am feeling?
Is it Divine Will?
Or some general flow that all the others elements of creation are providing as the average collective thought?
Aha...
To make something happen as the Ultimate Creator of one's life, one must align the proposed creation !
'Go with the flow' normally suggests this :
One has an idea maybe to move house and it feels all wrong.
So one feels one shouldn't move there and goes with the flow and waits for a different thing to pop up.
But why not get the moving idea and align it oneself?
Change the idea into alignment?
The house is nice and otherwise perfect -and thinking about it - it seems to be right.
The more one feels it is right ,the more one sees it as a great thing to do - the one feels it is in the flow -suddenly or slowly it is!
Perhaps some aspect of the move has to be physically or mentally adjusted to align the creation with Creation.
But I feel it can be done.
But feeling is the key.
Feeling is the key.
Feeling.
Feel.
To think about the house and look at maps and use ones calculator and so forth is not feeling the thing here.
I am differentiating between feeling and thinking - I wonder if i will ever be able to adequately describe this within the english language !
.More on alignment
If a proposed creation or idea one has feels sticky or seems to lower the mind into worry or thinking or offer problems -this isn't aligned.
In mis-alignment we may think of counter arguments, imagined counter intentions from others or counter intentions from oneself.
In alignment a way emerges that seems to offer no such resistances.
We are creators.
.Is it really alignment after all ?...lol
Consider "No resistance".
To create something I have experienced counter-creations.
I want a partner for my life, relationship but "I am probably better off on my own" or "Never going to find anyone now"
To create we must (?) see it through with cheerful expectation. - this seems to be the winning formula.
So in what way can I successfully create ( a new husband)?
I have spoken of changing ones mind -changing the beliefs we hold and also of changing one's point of view to do this and, and-' having faith'.
So doing this - from my earlier articles - one can create.
But there was no 'getting aligned with the Universe' computation !
What happened to alignment ?
To follow this method of no resistance is 'pure creation' in that one creates the thing and doesn't create a load of other stuff also that gets in the way.
I have a new partner and it's all groovy -rather than "I got a new partner -it's not going as badly as the last one!"
Maybe this 'no resistance' is alignment -maybe its the same thing.
This does feel correct.
And if I do think about it - I get the idea that The Divinity created all this with no resistance and that we as part of the creation, and in possession of a blessed ability to create, ...and we can follow His path.
The Divinity created with no resistance -this is the way to go!
Alignment is no resistance.
Go with the flow
Create with the flow.
.Going with the flow and Acceptance
This is a sort of engine idling mode -we are not creating some big plan..
We can use acceptance for what pops up and all is well.
But acceptance, Acceptance is useful for failures to create also.
"Oh -look at this mess -all I wanted was a partner as a companion - how did I create this?"
Hopefully one can smile and see it as earlier resistance manifesting as buggered creations (!) within our planned creations.
Here I have created the wanted and the unwanted both together!
Acceptance is vital to break the cycle.
But everything everywhere is in the mind of the Creator.
All this "mess" is the Creator's mess -so it's not a mess at all -our judgment of it is the 'mess ' . We label it "a mess"!
So the 'mess' is a creation from God Almighty (whatever) and isn't bad is it?
With Acceptance suddenly everything is Divine. Some say "All is perfect"- but that's another label thus "All is Divine" feels more accurate to me.
There is no mess or bad or wrong or good or right, not really; these are just judgments we make 'locally' from the human perspective.
So Accept what is and smile .
But to drift along can be 'going with the flow'.
But we are always creating -I don't feel I ever really drifted, even when I had no plans at all.
This reality offers choices -and we say yes or no.
"You want to buy my car?" ..."No -my neighbour is fixing mine"
"More soup,more bread?" - "More soup please".
Are we not always giving the direction of our lives little pushes one way or another?
So we create all the time.
So "Going with the flow" is this act of no resistance and alignment in the little things ,the little choices of direction ,little creations as we go along.
For me -to Go With The Flow one must feel one's way.
What feels natural and easy.
.No pain -no gain?
What about doing things we don't want to do for the future benefit?
Isn't this a temporary resistance overcome for a long term result?
I think it depends on one's attitude.
I have bicycled every day without much enjoyment because I thought I should.
Eventually I got saddle sore, stopped and never restarted!
I did quite like the increase in fitness and do sometimes wish for it without the cycling necessity!
But I feel I would have been better doing another form of exercise or non at all.
There were other issues -cycling at odd times in a big city rarely filled me with the romantic notion of bicycling fun -I found myself studying individuals in my path closely when in isolated spots!
I chose a career I didn't feel drawn to that offered a good lifestyle. It required some years of training and now have not reaped the benefit. I don't enjoy it and work only a few hours per week only to pay my bills.- Where was the gain in those painful years of study?
The unforeseen gain has been an awful lot of free time and an excursion into spirituality and metaphysics - but that's another story! :))
But to exercise and push oneself or study hard I think could be aligned and actually be no-resistance.
IF one is not actually doing something one doesn't want to do - the person feels this path is best for them and is comfortable with it.
"Another two years of this and I will have [whatever] which is perfect for me"
"The gym work does hurt, but you get used to it -and I look in the mirror now and think 'Wow' :)) "
'No pain-no gain' does imply and follow the popular belief that to 'grow' one must get out of one's comfort zone.
This is a belief and is true for you if you believe it.
For someone to force themselves out of their comfort zone is to drag the identity into another viewpoint -which itself is interesting and allows all problems to be regarded in this new light.
But there are easier ways to shift one's viewpoint!
Personally I like to create with no inherent suffering!
Just use the Magick -easy peasy.
Btw - the virtual gyms - the ones one plays out in the imagination do work to some extent -this is science :))
.Emotions.
So we want to go with the flow in alignment and with no self generated resistance.
Much has been developed from the Law of Attraction which all happened 10 or so years ago.
The emotions seem to be a key. Feeling good about something seems to be aligned. Feeling bad doesn't.
That works for me. It's useful :)
.Messages from our Higher Self or the Divine.
Serendipity and messages could be seen as a belief one puts into one's world to help the journey.
(Serendipity here is where you find yourself in the right place at the right time)
I can switch serendipity on and off
I can switch the messages on and off
This is my experience.
"Everything has a meaning" is not an absolute truth for me -it's a creation -a belief.
Currently there's a heat wave in London .It's earlier October and we are having those bright and famous english summer days.
Of all the places in this Universe I could be, I am here. It's something I have attracted.
What does this mean?
If I switch the 'all has meaning' belief on: it means the future is bright in the face of some actually quite troublesome issues at the moment.
If I switch this belief off: the sunny weather means nothing.
This is my experience.
But this sunny weather does mean a bright future for me doesn't it?
Advanced students will be able to feel this.
It's cos we are plugged into the Higher Self and the Divine.
...'Advanced Students''..hehehehe...oh dear :))
So for me it's "Messages On" -why not?
And "Serendipity On" too -how much fun is that !
.How to Live
Firstly cheer up a bit. !!!
Get into some of these groovy higher states.
Maybe by meditating on the Divine.
And do this sometime somewhere before you really get your day started.Before you start creating.
Lower emotions can be a bloody disaster. The things one creates for oneself down there can be horrible. All that lack of self confidence and 'nothing works for me' stuff starts there -imho.
Do something, almost anything to get into a higher wavelength or vibration or emotional state in your daily life.
I have said before -you are in control of your mind -you can do this.
The mind is a key player here. It's not always the groovy tool it could be.
The mind is a thing.It's like a car -it's a creation.
Thoughts are things
Emotions are things.
They all feel very close and seem part of us but I encourage you to feel the separation between ones self and the mind, self from thoughts, and self from emotions.
The person you are , the identity sits largely in the mind. But behind the mind is another You -have a feel for it . It's nice.
Separating from thoughts -seeing them as cars on the motorway perhaps, is a great step into a groovy level of existence.
Actually you pop right into a Higher Self.
Try to watch thoughts and emotions with neutrality all the time.
After you do this, you will return to thinking and may have some curious thoughts such as:
Nothing matters
Everything is funny
Everything is perfect
..and problems that seemed huge will seem fixable and less deadly.
That's it really.
Do this and everything will seem obvious.
There is a book "Called F*ck It" written by John C. Parkin (The title is 'F*ck It' not 'Fuck It'-LOL)
If all else fails and you feel hopelessly totally terrible my extrapolation of the book would be to say "Fuck It" to yourself for a good 10 minutes.
If your in the United Kingdom say "Bollocks to all of it" -It's more powerful for us.LOL
This doesn't lower responsibility so much as eradicate the crazy emotional mind labelling of Importance that's going on.
You got to separate out from the negative mind set when it floods your world.
The good news is you made your mind and you can change it.(see earlier scriptures from myself here).
By the way; saying the negatives to pull yourself out of troublesome emotions doesn't screw up your life , it doesn't create loads of bad stuff, because when you pop out of the mind and the unpleasant emotions the tiniest, weeniest thought there in the Higher Self dissolves HUGE HUGE vast tracks of negativity.
But especially if your feeling good when you wake up, I wouldn't always start every day with "Fuck everybody and the horse they rode in on" !!! (Gosh that's really is crude -oh my-the perils of adult conversation).
This world is all just consciousness or energy per the latest Quantum Physicists.
So really nothing matters -it's all good - everything is 'in the mind of God'.
Everything can be regarded as a dream -what is serious? there is no good or bad ,no pollution, no extinction of animals, and though we may feel suffering -so what? It's all just a fabrication. So....chill Dude !!!
This is a viewpoint - that works to relax the mind and have fun - If I see things as deadly seriously important for periods of time eventually something pops and I find myself rebelling. I find this is a better way to live and doesn't lower my responsibility level, integrity honesty or anything- in fact I feel a higher level of 'participational' ethics -something from a base of Decency -as I have discussed in earlier postings.

Have no expectation of result with these. Just chill -do them -see what happens.
Do these on the daily comute to work or ANYWHERE even for a few seconds - especially if you hear this:-

Think as much as you like!
But refuse to follow a thought pattern that considers the past or the future.!

But one is being gentle with oneself - just bring thoughts back to things happening now.
/Find the centre/center! (UK/USA)
Stand or sit up. Rock or sway physically left, right, forward, backwards until your body finds the floating middle point of balance.

Do it for one or two minutes or until you feel something happen or get bored.
/ Watching the sky
This is my personal favourite.
In England if the sky is interesting I can loose my mind for ages watching little puffy clouds forming and moving around and dissolving way up there in the blue.
Actually I have got pretty good at dissolving little clouds and can even change an overcast sky to quite clear in a few hours.
So I disappear into the Witness,feel my power then amuse myself dissolving rain clouds and frustrating the farmers in their dry fields!
But normally I just watch the sky with that stupid happy expression on my face!
Big Fun

/ Drugs and alcohol??
I never got an increased awareness from alcohol or marijuana (in Holland where it is legal).
Certainly alcoholics don't come across as amazingly spiritually aware.
Cocaine is mixed with large amounts of speed apparently so I never bothered.
I never tried LSD or DMT.
These last two are supposed to show you truth. But I don't understand how hallucinating could do that.
I have been intrigued by conversations with people that have taken them -but I never learnt anything much -I never expanded.
I know I am separate from my body and my mind is a thing of my own manufacture and I can step into my Higher Self at will to relax and to create and to create pure magick and miracles too! I got a shed load of past life memories also. For me I think with LSD and DMT I would just be resisting the experience.
Someone gave me a funny cigarette once- it was tobacco but it tasted strange. I had an accelerated mind function going on and estimated I was reading at about 1000 words per minute. So what? I have done similar things by accident -I have added up 40 numbers instantly once or twice and once learnt 200 new french words in 10 minutes when at school. So what? I know it's possible and I can feel the self limiting belief.
Besides from the placebo effect I feel the material world follows our expectation -I have stated earlier that chemicals in the body only work because we create the expectation of them to do so.
If someone took DMT thinking it was vitamin C due to a factory mix up I am sure they would not have a trip. But if hoodwinked by another to take it thus- the expectation of the con man does have an effect -this is science.

And the deliverer of the bad news is expecting a corpse anyway so it all fits...It's metaphysical. Reality, our reality HAS to fit within our expectation. You can see how it appears that suddenly the man has been poisoned by accident and nobody knew -but it didn't work like that -trust me. This is why people call it an illusion...lol....droning on... -this is why I am not a nutrition or health food fan - eat food you believe is healthy and don't eat food you believe is not!

Even psychics and very very aware spiritual people still fall into the thinking trap. They just think about spirituality which is better than the 'price of fish' I suppose but it's still thinking.
The spiritual "successes" seem to be the meditators.

Some of us know all about the Divine and oneness and the limitless of creation but still spend loads of time in the mind.
The depressed psychic or overweight one is not uncommon. She needs to meditate more or 'practice' rather than worrying about stuff.

FIRST DRAFT [ -put the italics in]
So how does a spiritual person live from day to day in their reality?
Like everyone else - she has to create those things she wants and mentally reconcile those things she cannot seem to change.
The most materially ambitious people will state that their true goal is not wealth but "peace", "happiness" or "tranquility".
These things should be easily available to the spiritual person who has become 'aware'.
How does one attain a happy life?
.How to live?.
The first most important thing to do is to get out of your mind !!!
Preamble.
In this culture we are encouraged to think .There is plenty to think about these days. What the exact time is,what to eat,traffic,the government,bills,education,ambition etc.
In earlier cultures; time was where the sun is, eating was whatever was available, no cars, no complex government, no bills just food and shelter, no education except maybe a bit of shamanism, and no real and complicated ambition.
Spiritually it's probably a better way to live with a lot less to think about. Time was spent admiring trees and sunsets along with only simple demands on thinking for human necessities.
But thinking now is not a real solution to problems and having fun. The thoughts come from a series of belief systems installed by us in the mind and thoughts arrive mostly as judgement , past musings and future predictions.
And thoughts bring emotions and some of these emotions are not the peace we are looking for.
The contents of the mind echo our lifestyle and habitual thinking. It's based on linear time and the idea that to create something we have to change objects in the reality.
However, I have suggested linear time is only a concept and to change our reality one needs to form the idea in one's consciousness first. To create the future we need to feel the new creation within -not think,get upset and worry about it!
So the mind has a culturally programmed habitual method. It's crap basically...lol.
It supposes half the time that one needs a good lottery win to be happy...I mean really...is this you?...is this your genius manifesting? (Say No).
To step behind the mind and observe thoughts with any attitude one wishes is a revelation.
"Nobody likes me".... Pfffffffft wow ..Look at that thought Mother it's a corker!!!
"I hope my new job works out okay".
Personally I have downgraded the importance of my thoughts. I see them not all as negative and bad -but something generated from an old way of thinking.
I have had years when unhappy - and now I am clearing my mind somewhat and upgrading the quality of it's products...lol.
But I feel people need a trigger -an alert
WARNING! WARNING! -- NEGATIVE THOUGHTS--NEGATIVE EMOTIONS---STOP CREATING NOW !!!
hehe
What is creating your experience,your reality?
Luck?
Your ability to fix problems?
Your drive?
The 'Watcher' or your Higher Self is source of the 'human experience' and source of the mind.
When one can abandon thinking in the mind even for a few seconds, we can create with a thought and change our worlds.
For thoughts and emotions that seem less than helpful
"This is not me
I release these thoughts
I am neutral and without judgment.
I am the Watcher.
If I want something I just need to create it.
I let go more and more of these types of thoughts from the mind.
I am still
I am the Observer
I am the Witness
I am source."
.Alignment.
Thinking out solutions first is hit and miss - maybe one tries to create something that doesn't fit in with the Whole , the Oneness Everything.
But there seems to be a Flow -from "Go with the flow"
And one can align,line up with it in the Direction of Creation(?)
BUT to do this one must feel. Feel not think, as thinking seems to be separate from the Divinity and alignment sometimes.
If one has a belief and starts to worry around a subject the worry itself, to me , feels not aligned.
If one feels the way through the worry suddenly a solution appears that seems to relax me - and i feel this is the way
What is the Universal Direction that I am feeling?
Is it Divine Will?
Or some general flow that all the others elements of creation are providing as the average collective thought?
Aha...
To make something happen as the Ultimate Creator of one's life, one must align the proposed creation !
'Go with the flow' normally suggests this :
One has an idea maybe to move house and it feels all wrong.
So one feels one shouldn't move there and goes with the flow and waits for a different thing to pop up.
But why not get the moving idea and align it oneself?
Change the idea into alignment?
The house is nice and otherwise perfect -and thinking about it - it seems to be right.
The more one feels it is right ,the more one sees it as a great thing to do - the one feels it is in the flow -suddenly or slowly it is!
Perhaps some aspect of the move has to be physically or mentally adjusted to align the creation with Creation.
But I feel it can be done.
But feeling is the key.
Feeling is the key.
Feeling.
Feel.
To think about the house and look at maps and use ones calculator and so forth is not feeling the thing here.
I am differentiating between feeling and thinking - I wonder if i will ever be able to adequately describe this within the english language !
.More on alignment
If a proposed creation or idea one has feels sticky or seems to lower the mind into worry or thinking or offer problems -this isn't aligned.
In mis-alignment we may think of counter arguments, imagined counter intentions from others or counter intentions from oneself.
In alignment a way emerges that seems to offer no such resistances.
We are creators.
.Is it really alignment after all ?...lol
Consider "No resistance".
To create something I have experienced counter-creations.
I want a partner for my life, relationship but "I am probably better off on my own" or "Never going to find anyone now"
To create we must (?) see it through with cheerful expectation. - this seems to be the winning formula.
So in what way can I successfully create ( a new husband)?
I have spoken of changing ones mind -changing the beliefs we hold and also of changing one's point of view to do this and, and-' having faith'.
So doing this - from my earlier articles - one can create.
But there was no 'getting aligned with the Universe' computation !
What happened to alignment ?
To follow this method of no resistance is 'pure creation' in that one creates the thing and doesn't create a load of other stuff also that gets in the way.
I have a new partner and it's all groovy -rather than "I got a new partner -it's not going as badly as the last one!"
Maybe this 'no resistance' is alignment -maybe its the same thing.
This does feel correct.
And if I do think about it - I get the idea that The Divinity created all this with no resistance and that we as part of the creation, and in possession of a blessed ability to create, ...and we can follow His path.
The Divinity created with no resistance -this is the way to go!
Alignment is no resistance.
Go with the flow
Create with the flow.
.Going with the flow and Acceptance
This is a sort of engine idling mode -we are not creating some big plan..
We can use acceptance for what pops up and all is well.
But acceptance, Acceptance is useful for failures to create also.
"Oh -look at this mess -all I wanted was a partner as a companion - how did I create this?"
Hopefully one can smile and see it as earlier resistance manifesting as buggered creations (!) within our planned creations.
Here I have created the wanted and the unwanted both together!
Acceptance is vital to break the cycle.
But everything everywhere is in the mind of the Creator.
All this "mess" is the Creator's mess -so it's not a mess at all -our judgment of it is the 'mess ' . We label it "a mess"!
So the 'mess' is a creation from God Almighty (whatever) and isn't bad is it?
With Acceptance suddenly everything is Divine. Some say "All is perfect"- but that's another label thus "All is Divine" feels more accurate to me.
There is no mess or bad or wrong or good or right, not really; these are just judgments we make 'locally' from the human perspective.
So Accept what is and smile .
But to drift along can be 'going with the flow'.
But we are always creating -I don't feel I ever really drifted, even when I had no plans at all.
This reality offers choices -and we say yes or no.
"You want to buy my car?" ..."No -my neighbour is fixing mine"
"More soup,more bread?" - "More soup please".
Are we not always giving the direction of our lives little pushes one way or another?
So we create all the time.
So "Going with the flow" is this act of no resistance and alignment in the little things ,the little choices of direction ,little creations as we go along.
For me -to Go With The Flow one must feel one's way.
What feels natural and easy.
.No pain -no gain?
What about doing things we don't want to do for the future benefit?
Isn't this a temporary resistance overcome for a long term result?
I think it depends on one's attitude.
I have bicycled every day without much enjoyment because I thought I should.
Eventually I got saddle sore, stopped and never restarted!
I did quite like the increase in fitness and do sometimes wish for it without the cycling necessity!
But I feel I would have been better doing another form of exercise or non at all.
There were other issues -cycling at odd times in a big city rarely filled me with the romantic notion of bicycling fun -I found myself studying individuals in my path closely when in isolated spots!
I chose a career I didn't feel drawn to that offered a good lifestyle. It required some years of training and now have not reaped the benefit. I don't enjoy it and work only a few hours per week only to pay my bills.- Where was the gain in those painful years of study?
The unforeseen gain has been an awful lot of free time and an excursion into spirituality and metaphysics - but that's another story! :))
But to exercise and push oneself or study hard I think could be aligned and actually be no-resistance.
IF one is not actually doing something one doesn't want to do - the person feels this path is best for them and is comfortable with it.
"Another two years of this and I will have [whatever] which is perfect for me"
"The gym work does hurt, but you get used to it -and I look in the mirror now and think 'Wow' :)) "
'No pain-no gain' does imply and follow the popular belief that to 'grow' one must get out of one's comfort zone.
This is a belief and is true for you if you believe it.
For someone to force themselves out of their comfort zone is to drag the identity into another viewpoint -which itself is interesting and allows all problems to be regarded in this new light.
But there are easier ways to shift one's viewpoint!
Personally I like to create with no inherent suffering!
Just use the Magick -easy peasy.
Btw - the virtual gyms - the ones one plays out in the imagination do work to some extent -this is science :))
.Emotions.
So we want to go with the flow in alignment and with no self generated resistance.
Much has been developed from the Law of Attraction which all happened 10 or so years ago.
The emotions seem to be a key. Feeling good about something seems to be aligned. Feeling bad doesn't.
That works for me. It's useful :)
.Messages from our Higher Self or the Divine.
Serendipity and messages could be seen as a belief one puts into one's world to help the journey.
(Serendipity here is where you find yourself in the right place at the right time)
I can switch serendipity on and off
I can switch the messages on and off
This is my experience.
"Everything has a meaning" is not an absolute truth for me -it's a creation -a belief.
Currently there's a heat wave in London .It's earlier October and we are having those bright and famous english summer days.
Of all the places in this Universe I could be, I am here. It's something I have attracted.
What does this mean?
If I switch the 'all has meaning' belief on: it means the future is bright in the face of some actually quite troublesome issues at the moment.
If I switch this belief off: the sunny weather means nothing.
This is my experience.
But this sunny weather does mean a bright future for me doesn't it?
Advanced students will be able to feel this.
It's cos we are plugged into the Higher Self and the Divine.
...'Advanced Students''..hehehehe...oh dear :))
So for me it's "Messages On" -why not?
And "Serendipity On" too -how much fun is that !
.How to Live
Firstly cheer up a bit. !!!
Get into some of these groovy higher states.
Maybe by meditating on the Divine.
And do this sometime somewhere before you really get your day started.Before you start creating.
Lower emotions can be a bloody disaster. The things one creates for oneself down there can be horrible. All that lack of self confidence and 'nothing works for me' stuff starts there -imho.
Do something, almost anything to get into a higher wavelength or vibration or emotional state in your daily life.
I have said before -you are in control of your mind -you can do this.
The mind is a key player here. It's not always the groovy tool it could be.
The mind is a thing.It's like a car -it's a creation.
Thoughts are things
Emotions are things.
They all feel very close and seem part of us but I encourage you to feel the separation between ones self and the mind, self from thoughts, and self from emotions.
The person you are , the identity sits largely in the mind. But behind the mind is another You -have a feel for it . It's nice.
Separating from thoughts -seeing them as cars on the motorway perhaps, is a great step into a groovy level of existence.
Actually you pop right into a Higher Self.
Try to watch thoughts and emotions with neutrality all the time.
After you do this, you will return to thinking and may have some curious thoughts such as:
Nothing matters
Everything is funny
Everything is perfect
..and problems that seemed huge will seem fixable and less deadly.
That's it really.
Do this and everything will seem obvious.
There is a book "Called F*ck It" written by John C. Parkin (The title is 'F*ck It' not 'Fuck It'-LOL)
If all else fails and you feel hopelessly totally terrible my extrapolation of the book would be to say "Fuck It" to yourself for a good 10 minutes.
If your in the United Kingdom say "Bollocks to all of it" -It's more powerful for us.LOL
This doesn't lower responsibility so much as eradicate the crazy emotional mind labelling of Importance that's going on.
You got to separate out from the negative mind set when it floods your world.
The good news is you made your mind and you can change it.(see earlier scriptures from myself here).
By the way; saying the negatives to pull yourself out of troublesome emotions doesn't screw up your life , it doesn't create loads of bad stuff, because when you pop out of the mind and the unpleasant emotions the tiniest, weeniest thought there in the Higher Self dissolves HUGE HUGE vast tracks of negativity.
But especially if your feeling good when you wake up, I wouldn't always start every day with "Fuck everybody and the horse they rode in on" !!! (Gosh that's really is crude -oh my-the perils of adult conversation).
This world is all just consciousness or energy per the latest Quantum Physicists.
So really nothing matters -it's all good - everything is 'in the mind of God'.
Everything can be regarded as a dream -what is serious? there is no good or bad ,no pollution, no extinction of animals, and though we may feel suffering -so what? It's all just a fabrication. So....chill Dude !!!
This is a viewpoint - that works to relax the mind and have fun - If I see things as deadly seriously important for periods of time eventually something pops and I find myself rebelling.

By magick I don't mean magic -pulling white bunny rabbits or doves out of a top hat in front of a live audience !
Magick- the creation of things,events,circumstances, Anything not normally considered possible from the starting point !
1.STEP ONE
We are infinite beings.
We as a human or identity or consciousness (Jane Smith or Paloma or me) are actually just a creation within ourselves - within Infinite Awareness.
Mini-me is an idea within Me.
So ramp up your belief system right now and see yourself as God or Infinite Awareness and thereafter can do Anything.
Such ideas as Infinite Awareness wouldn't bother with all this -making a new car etc - are valid.
But we are using "I am God" ,"I am Infinite Awareness" as the base.
One is making oneself as a perhaps 'demi-god' within one's 'God-self' who would want to do stuff.
Actually we are Infinite Awareness which is Everything and greater than God -the ideas of God or a Demi-God resides within Us.
The moment one does anything one has created oneself as being something.Maybe!
Nothing is fixed , Spirit is the Law.
So forget about all the ideas you have about the world from the human perspective.
We can do anything - it's science fiction meets reality.
We can do anything.
Stretch your mind into this.
You may 'fail' in this to the extent ONLY that you don't believe it. -Cannot imagine it.
Let's create a very 'powerful' me...Let's call these the Big me and the Big you.
2.STEP TWO..step into the wild side - forget the 'body-mind'
Everything ,Everything and Everyone, Everything in the waking world is like one of our dreams - we just create it as we go along.
...this may not be what you are doing -but it is what I am doing...lol
LET'S WORK THROUGH AN EXAMPLE CONCURRENTLY WITH STEPS ONE,TWO THREE ETC -
It's a bit of a 'classic'
- you're waiting for the bus - how do you make it come quicker?
Ideally we just go PING, a bus appears out of thin-air - like a wizard or witch waving their magic wand. - but if you could do that - you probably wouldn't be reading this!
In my mind at least the world is 'desperatley trying to be solid' with linear time ticking away.
The body mind is telling me the world is a solid separate reality. It's telling me I have my little shoes on that I got last christmas and that to do something I need to go outside and buy it, earn it or build it. A separate reality outside of me with linear time ticking away.
So I try to trick myself into magick and see the world as bendable and subject to my will as much as possible.
The above and what follows are NOT hypnotic suggestions
-Any negativity I offer look at with the greatest suspicion !! ok?
-this may not be true for you - what is your truth??
Checking the bus time table on the post there will tell me the next bus is 22 minutes -no good -more solid !
So I don't do that - I am creating everything -I am the Big me the demi god - I don't create a Newtonian solid world and then try to change it!
My Reality sometimes follows my emotions :
I have beliefs systems running none stop creating the world.
Consider this:
I got up late and I am in a bad mood -
"I know I have JUST missed the bloody bus and they have cut down the service and they are bloody useless and the drivers are annoying and don't give a damn and the local council is an absolute joke and they're all just pinching money out of the system with bribery and corruption and one thing is certain the bus will take ages to eventually arrive -bloody useless............."
This is creating the world from the viewpoint of an emotion...lol
3.STEP THREE
Get in to the 'zone', the groovy vibrations of the omnipotent emotions .Zen-out,chill-out, be cooooool. be neutral. feel the chi. feel the oneness...
This is a feeling - one's face relaxes -a little smile -the eyes go a bit sparkly and determined
That sort of thing
One might say to oneself "I am a God" or "I am a witch -so mote it be" - or something that turns me ON baby!!
-it's a feeling -I am trying to type it!
Doing this immediately when you wake up , before you start creating saves a LOT of aggravation later on !!! lol
...
4.STEP FOUR - Creation
Now to really 'un-plug' from the Solid Reality :))
I am in the "Zone".
I got the Omnipotent Demi God Creator Vibration going.
I feel pretty good. I got my sunglasses on. I am cool... lol
I don't really visualize the bus.
Or imagine it.
Or do anything.
It's hardly anything really.
There's no complexity to it
It's 'Create'
I expect the bus to arrive.
4.5 STEP FOUR AND A HALF - the nature of this Expectancy - the Creation
Here comes the bus -hooray !!!
All those people on the bus will not know.
They have not suddenly advanced 10 minutes on their bus route.
Their lives are exactly the same.
Nothing has changed for them
The driver is not suddenly 10 minutes ahead of schedule and will not get into trouble with his supervisor.
Every one's concept of linear time has not been disturbed -all their memories makes perfect sense.
They have not been deceived either.
Everything is exactly the same.
Nothing has changed.
But the bus has moved 10 minutes forward!
It's magick.
It's creation.
If NOW you check the bus timetable you will see that it's the 10.22 bus and running a little late or...maybe it's early,or on time ,whatever... here is the bus :))
What has happened?
I have changed the whole world.
All of the 'solid reality' has shifted to My will.
All the buses changed their timetables.
All the people changed there day.
Every one's memory of the day has changed.
Everything they have done has changed.
No one lost any sleep.
No one missed out on anything
No one lost 10 minutes anywhere.
I have NOT 'messed with' anyone.
It's a new reality.
..and the bus is here :)
You have a yellow bag and you make it blue -everyone is saying
" You still got that blue bag -you've had it for years"
...
If you check your watch it may or may not make sense. It varies for me.
Sometimes it doesn't add up. Sometimes my linear time is just normal.
But the new reality is just like the old one -it has continuity!!
I sometimes feel I didn't really do anything -maybe it was luck.
The world still seems just as reliably solid.
....
4.75 STEP FOUR AND THREE QUARTERS
Within your Expectation of Creation - stay in the "Zone" the Omnipotent Creator feeling
Just forget about reality - it's magick -that's that!!!
Don't think about it -it's magick -it's not going to fit into reality is it?
Don't try to make it fit -it doesn't! :))
My friend drove his old car at 60mph for an hour -he travelled 100 miles ..lol
Where's the fit in the physical world ?
It happened - that's the end of it!!
A magick 'post mortem' -after-the -fact analysis is a complete waste of time.
If you find yourself worrying about how it all fits into reality within the Expectation, The Creation step... go back to STEP THREE
- you may have slipped out of the Groovy feeling.
...
What did I really do? lol
I changed My world.
We are infinite beings.
We as a human or identity or consciousness (Jane Smith or Paloma or me) are actually just a creation within ourselves - within Infinite Awareness.
Mini-me is an idea within Me
and
me is an idea within Me
Change Your world
...
"And if it harms none - so mote it be"
...As the witches say before they end a spell.
If you feel like doing this to harm someone know this:
You are the "wrong end" of one of your more f*cked up creations.
Harming people just isn't in my vocabulary.
It's not wrong -it's just stupid.
You find yourself with a glass of wine at a large party -what you gonna do? -drink it, or walk 15 miles home and smash it with a hammer? It's not wrong - it's just stupid!
If you feel a less than groovy impulse - go back to STEP THREE , get into the "Zone" the Omnipotent Creator Feeling as soon as you can -now is good !
Anything less that loving someone with everything you are is unacceptable.
You don't always have to help people or give them all your money -just love them.
But if you have hurt people in the 'past' do NOT concern yourself with it.
From the "Zone" the Omnipotent Creator Feeling : Create this:
All is good
All is perfect.
It's has made no difference.
Hurting someone doesn't matter or make a difference to them, is true , whether one believes it or not - they actually hurt themselves.
But it may impact on oneself - this is another subject!
Advanced students...lol...should be able to feel this though they may not be able to explain it !
0. STEP ZERO
Immediately upon awakening , do STEP THREE - Get into the Groovy Omnipotent Feeling.
This way all the creations in the day will be groovy also.
Why spend the mornings in a miserable state and create miserable things, and use the afternoons to fix them all? lol
Napoleon Hill :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kYO0ydiJG3E
It's old black and white and grainy -one could be forgiving of his style, which is pioneering such recordings.
"Whatever the mind can conceive and believe - the mind can achieve"
Mr Hill also discusses the "penalties" of not controlling one's mind
- though I am not a believer in negativity (all is well), if one chooses the human viewpoint - I find it hard to disagree.
I would ask that even if you feel 'personal desire' is a foolish thing, as some do -you could at least desire the spiritual awakening of others and join the many that are creating a spiritual wellness in mankind, to manifest a groovy society and perhaps most importantly, let mankind fully embrace a loving governorship of this little planet.

#9 Spirituality - Let me show you God !!!
#9 Spirituality - Let me show you God !!!
FIRST DRAFT
The most 'disturbing' thing I have stated in these postings is possibly:
'Perception and creation. I think they are linked. I actually think they really are the same thing.
But that's a bit of a mind bender if one imagines that Everything one perceives - one creates.
But that may well be what's actually happening'.
and second is:
'But it's all a belief anyway -the whole world is a belief in our minds' .
And the third most 'disturbing' thing is
I feel there is lots and lots of scientific and metaphysical spooky stuff as compelling evidence that we have a potentially infinite capacity
And to be infinite in potential is to be Everything really and believe one is not Infinite.
Where Everything is in 'the mind of God'
(infinite awareness/the universal mind/The Tao)
The persona or identity -the Jane Doe would be a belief system - a creation within the whole possibly just for the fun of it!
This is called 'oneness' atm. We are 'waves in the sea' . 'Bubbles within infinite awareness'
Sand castles in the sand.
(....The mathematical analogy is 'we are sub-sets of God'.)
"There's no power outside of you in your hologram--not in anyone,not in anything. YOU have all the power in your hologram"
Robert Scheinfeld : "Busting Loose from the money game" Chapter 6. It's a very amazing book -with a strange title!!!
"Never was there anything outside of you. Never shall there be. The infinite expressed, a celebration to discover, YOU are the ONE."
Harry Palmer : "Love Precious Humanity", Chapter "Being" ...But have a look at his book "Living Deliberately" which is a free pdf.
But logically perhaps the "three disturbing things I have written" fall in this order:
1. oneness. we are all part of The Infinite Awareness and have it's infinite potential to create.
2. Everything is our dream. Everything,the whole World, Everything and Everybody is just an idea in our minds or consciousness.
3. To perceive is to simultaneously create Everything, to make it all up as we go along.
I could summarise these three concepts as:
4. Everything and Everyone, in the waking world is like one of our dreams - we just create it as we go along.
We have come full circle back to Rene Descartes' "Could life be a dream - as dreams seem so real?" [not a verbatim Descartes quote]
This is what we do in a dream -we just make it all up as we go along -the things, the people, everything.
Some dreams may be viewed as visiting other dimensions -I don't mean those!
Two Viewpoints: Infinite Awareness and a Human.
Infinite Awareness : Clearly from this point of view 4.(Life is a dream) is valid:
Everything is created by Me in My imagination.
Things are not created outside of Me, Infinite Awareness, because I embrace Everything: that's what Infinite Things are - all including.
Human: From my point of view, I got a keyboard in front of me and a strong desire for a cup of coffee.
4.(Life is a dream) is unreal - from the viewpoint of the Human Being.
Important note: definitions of "God"-
I sometimes default to using the word "God" for oneness the Infinite Awareness Thingie that is Everything.
My excursion into definitions of my 'God' within the english language and physical world go like this:-
"God" can mean funny and strange things when viewed from within the many religions
I am not defining God as someone who smites the greedy or judges the sinner or blesses his devotees.
My 'God' here is entirely neutral.
Certainly not male or female !!!
In fact to say this God is 'a being' or even 'being' is sort of less than i mean.
I don't even have my God here as - loving.
And not really - watching.
Maybe - witnessing.
My 'God' here the Infinite Everything just - is.
But even that seems a bit too much.
But I can't really say The Infinite Mind isn't female,isn't male, doesn't love,watch or witness either !!!
I am defining 'God' as without definition !
- which intellectually and academically is almost useless. Although a banana can't really be defined -can it? ...a 10,000 year old banana -is that still a banana? etc ....
'God is a banana' ... you are thinking that aren't you?...hehehe
From the Tao Te Ching + Paloma Porta:
God is defined in dictionaries and defined all over the place!!!
The Tao is the fabric of this 'defined God'.
I am not sure about this bit..."The Tao" is a wonderful way to express the Infinite Hugeness Thingie; but as I have said ,for me, it has the 'doctrine'(??) of the Tao Te Ching behind it where the Sage seems to have rejected ambition and academia as foolish and walks as a drifting bumpkin.
I know people that are very plugged in and switched on who have 'confessed' to having their sleeves rolled up to spread the word and make huge amounts of cash. Ironically those that live the Tao often work very hard at promoting it !!! Like I said before -maybe I need to read the Tao Te Ching again and besides Lao Tzu actually sat down and wrote the thing - maybe it's a book to open our eyes? I am no academic myself neither do I intend to read what academics think about it ! Forgive me -there are proper experts I can ask ! :)
'Infinite Awareness' is the best definition for what I mean by 'God' that I have seen within the english language.
1. 'Infinite Awareness' fits nicely with us each as individual consciousness within Infinite Awareness -consciousness means (in the english dictionary) - aware of being aware.
2. 'Infinite Awareness' is not really doing anything.
That's the best I can do for definitions of my 'God', with words...read on!
Find God Here !!! - Let me show you God !!! ... !!!
God can be seen!
Remember I have discussed in earlier posts ANOTHER whole range of perceptions available to us?
"Opening the Third Eye"
"Resonating with vibrations"
"Feeeling"
To find God - Infinite Awareness - look within yourself.
Look at a neutral object - a tree is a good one.
Just be aware of it.
What are you feeling?
That's God !!!
That's Infinite Awareness.
That's You !!!
How do we 'spiritual types' link the the two viewpoints together?
Infinite Awareness and Paloma Porta shopping for a new necklace?
5. We as a human or identity or consciousness, are actually just a creation within ourselves - within Infinite Awareness.
Mini-me is an idea within Me.
That's it for the moment.
I have shown you God -what more do you want?
LOL
Huggies
Love you

2. 'Infinite Awareness' is not really doing anything.
That's the best I can do for definitions of my 'God', with words...read on!
Find God Here !!! - Let me show you God !!! ... !!!
God can be seen!
Remember I have discussed in earlier posts ANOTHER whole range of perceptions available to us?
"Opening the Third Eye"
"Resonating with vibrations"
"Feeeling"
To find God - Infinite Awareness - look within yourself.
Look at a neutral object - a tree is a good one.
Just be aware of it.
What are you feeling?
That's God !!!
That's Infinite Awareness.
That's You !!!
How do we 'spiritual types' link the the two viewpoints together?
Infinite Awareness and Paloma Porta shopping for a new necklace?
5. We as a human or identity or consciousness, are actually just a creation within ourselves - within Infinite Awareness.
Mini-me is an idea within Me.
That's it for the moment.
I have shown you God -what more do you want?
LOL
Huggies
Love you

#8 Spirituality -How to change your mind
#8 Spirituality -How to change your mind
FIRST DRAFT
I have stated that one's mind is under one's absolute control.
The mind, your mind is under your control. You made it - it's yours.
If you think you didn't make your mind, or someone or something (advertising?) is controlling your mind, or you don't feel in control of your mind or worse 'your mind is dangerous' -God help you.
If so, change your beliefs and concepts you hold about your mind- your expectancy of your mind's function ; and rather rapidly!
You can do it.
And I considered that some ideas offered by well meaning and ignorant friends and educators can offer what Dr Bandler [The creator of NLP-Neuro Linguistic Programing], and others call a 'hypnotic suggestion'.
"Hypnotic Suggestions"
I would define a hypnotic suggestion as something offered to you ,that you adopt as true without really considering it.
Often it's in the middle of a load of stuff that makes sense and one has become accustomed to agreeing with the author.
eg "You have 2 weeks to live" (!)
or "With meditation we are trying to tame the incessant chatter of the mind" (eeek)
or "We have to find when an event occurred in our minds to truly clean it up" (omg)
Hypnotic Suggestions.
Anyone (or anything) that tries to tell you what you are, or how you think ,or what you cannot do, should be viewed at least with the greatest possible suspicion or if like Dr Bandler, you are a martial arts expert, be 'assisted' to the nearest hospital.
And watch out for the predictions of some medical doctors -you could make yourself seriously ill.
In fact any suggestion made to you that doesn't offer complete mental and physical health is a lie.
Neither will I tolerate the suggestion of increasing infirmity with old age !
Nope -that's my business.
But you don't have to believe all of that!!!
Just hold that you are in control of your mind.
What is the mind?
Kindly consider what are your expectations of your mind?
I really don't want to tell you what your mind is!
If I say it's full of this or that there is my concern that I am creating an expectation of your mind for you that you may adopt.
A hypnotic suggestion per the above.
Watch out for those -you've been warned twice!
If it doesn't resonate with you -flush it.
So your mind is yours -why look around and ask what it is?
It's like your car:
"-ohhh you got the X19. They are a complete nightmare!!!!"
...What do you want me to say?...lol
..."You think short thoughts"...hehehe ...I AM KIDDING
SO ANYTHING I SAY HERE - IF IT DOESN'T RESONATE WITH YOU - JUST IGNORE IT.
So here is your mind -it seems to offer thoughts.
Does your mind have a "mind of it's own" - just asking?
Do you feel in control of it?
Maybe some do - maybe some don't.
It's worth repeating
You are in absolute control of your mind.
I have discussed spirituality at length in these postings.
One is a spiritual being.
One is part of oneness the whole the Everything,The Infinite Awareness,The Universal Mind,The Collective Subconscious Mind... God...whatever.
Spirit is the law -and that's the only law there is.
But you don't have to believe all that !!!!!
Just believe that you are in control of your mind.
But you may well have experience and evidence to the contrary,
and you may have not.
Unwanted thoughts such as hatred or guilt or self blame? maybe? just asking?
I can assure you everything in your mind is there because you put it in there!
From here we have to look at Expectation and Beliefs.
Are you a 'jealous person' trying not to be jealous?
Do you feel 'guilt' because your friends,your religion or society think you should?
Try this experiment.
...Everything you think -hold up as only a creation and not fixed or written in stone.
The idea is that Everything you think is mutable,malleable changeable.
"I get jealous and I don't like it" . What is mental construct is holding this in place? The person should investigate for themselves but it could be:
"I cannot change my jealousy" ooops!
So what beliefs about your mind do you have?
Watch out for those "special" self help defeating constructs such as:
"Ohh the mysteries of the mind -it's unfathomable"
"I have a bad memory -how can I improve my mind?"
This is all total bs.
It's your mind -you made it- you control it ..and as I said despite 'evidence' to the contrary
If you don't believe that - God help you.
"Evidence" that we don't control our minds.
We do.
But experiential evidence may suggest we don't.
But this experience is based on what?
It is based on the beliefs , concepts and ideas we have.
Consider one's experience - it's yesterdays news!
Everything you think is under your control
Am i getting boring yet?
We hold onto a belief and it manifests as a stream of thought when faced with realities associated with it.
Consider this example
"What my father said to me, really hurt me"
Well if you create THAT don't be surprised when you burst into tears every time his name is mentioned.
Don't be astonished that you plummet into a depth of "unwanted" emotions and perhaps even have a blighted unhappy life because of it ---ouch!!!
Bursting into tears doesn't prove your mind is controlling you or is out of control -
it's just the manifestation of the "hurt by father" concept you have.
Experience and evidence of what happened points to a belief system only - an expectation.
It doesn't some how tell us the way things unchangeably are.
You have formed a belief ,a concept that has created the experience in the first place.
Bursting into tears time and time again doesn't prove your father hurt you - it just is a manifestation of your belief.
What your father said to you didn't hurt you.
You hurt yourself with "My father hurt me"
Maybe you felt that type of comment should hurt you -whatever.
The other person has no power over you -we just take these things on board
and some are hypnotic suggestions as I have said.
You are in complete control of your mind (yawn)
Low self esteem,lack of confidence,feelings of low self worth.
Whose idea is that?
Your friends' or some guy at a bus stop? Or a psychiatrist maybe -some highly educated expert, John's mother, Mr Bullrush at the Deli, your old and very clever flatmate at College?
Nope....incorrect....false....wrong.....go to the bottom of the class!!!!
It's your idea !!!
"But it's trueeeee" you wimper "I get sooo nervous and sweaty and I feel I am not worth anything"
Congratulations - you created a lack of confidence.
If I must say it -there are people dumber than you,less attractive than you, and that smell of biscuits -who think they are God's Ultimate Gift To Humanity.
Seriously -maybe you stutter,maybe you lisp, maybe you got no front teeth,maybe you got a scarred or somehow 'different' face or body.
Your belief is maybe:
"I have this -I am ashamed to go out -God has punished me - This is a 'message' that I should stay quiet - I am not worthy to be heard -people will stare at me -people will laugh at me" ?? I don't know
What do you believe about it?
If you are unusual people will notice - is that bringing up another belief about yourself?
"I don't want to be noticed"?
Change it to "I DO want to be noticed"!!!
"I don't want to be noticed because I got no self confidence"...go to the bottom of the class.
There were two women with a port-wine stain (?) on their faces -the big red patch thingie. One woman was totally screwed up by it and the other wouldn't have changed it for the whole world -it defined her as different and special and was actually great for picking up men!!!!! (The first one discovered some super new make-up and the second got married with children -so both had a happy ending).
They held different beliefs about it - and look at their different lives.
PATIENT Doctor, Doctor. It hurts when I do this!
DOCTOR Stop doing that!
You will find that the idea you have about yourself and your whole history of experience that makes it seem true hangs completely and only on a belief. And it is a self generated belief that you took on board from somewhere.
Change your belief about yourself -it takes about a minute. Just look at all of it and create something much more groovy.
I did this myself for years "I have no self confidence" ...eventually the penny dropped.
Fear of Spiders, fear of flying, claustrophobia,agoraphobia.
People can create things that are bigger than themselves.
They can create things that are senior to themselves.
This sounds wrong -but that's what happens.
Anything you decide has power over you, does have power over you!!!
Anything you decide is deep within and hard to fix in your mind -is deep within and hard to fix in your mind !!!
The future of how you think does not depend on your experience.
It depends on how you think now -your beliefs and expectations of your reactions etc to things.
"I was scared of this - so I will be scared of this." go to the bottom of the class again...lol
When really you will find:
"I believed I was scared of this -so I was scared of this"
"Now - I have changed my mind about it"
I don't expect many to suddenly vanquish these fears by reading this paragraph !
But that's the mechanism as I see it.
You gotta believe you are the omnipotent monarch of your mind.
What you think now is the Law.
So watch out for making and reinforcing your beliefs by your past experience.
But it's all a belief anyway -the whole world is a belief in our minds.
But you don't have to believe that !
How to fix stuff in the mind -
So you got an issue maybe. You hate picnics and you want to like picnics !
Don't create something 'buried in the past' that you have to find to resolve this.
Don't create it as 'just the way it is' either -it isn't!
Don't, as I have said, look at all the hated picnics and conclude that you dislike picnics.
All is changeable.
You can love picnics if you want to...If you want to.
Everything you believe and think and ponder about is where? or when?
It's all here right now.
Any expectation that is manifesting is here right now and available to view.
Then just see the whole picnic hatred idea - have a look at it.
Close your eyes maybe.
..and breathe...see it as something you made up.
...and breathe and let it go...let it fade away... You made it -let it disperse.
Do this a few times maybe or in one hit -until all the concept you created has vanished.
But don't think about it - don't think "that's right flies are dirty and flies fly on the food and it isn't hygienic cos one person is eating and the germs in there mouth travel on flies and wasps go onto my food and i might get ill like my mother did oh dear she was sooo sick and the doctor said it could have been some germs on her food and you never know what you can pick up.and its soo uncomfortable sitting on the ground and with all the kids shouting and screaming..." STOPPPP
Just feel the whole concept. Feel the whole idea. For me there really aren't many thoughts when i do this...it's a feeling. ..and let it go.
It's a kind of magic -feeling an idea about the world you have made and letting it disperse.
Tips: How to 'fix' stuff in the mind.
Tip #1
Imagine your whole Identity -everything you are as a blank canvas.
On this canvas you have written or painted
I am sensitive
I am honest
I love my children
I hate my Uncle Pete the slimy creep!!...lol
I love chocolate -yummmy.
See everything you have created about yourself as -a creation by self.
It is up to you what that 'self' or 'blank canvas' is:
part of God,
a spiritual being ,
a human brain
or 'you don't really know but you are aware of being aware'.
But so long as... big yawn...you feel you are in complete control of your mind.
Now when you bump into an idea in the mind you don't want, it's just another thing you have made. It doesn't kind of mean anything - it's like emptying the cigarette buts out of an ashtray - some are yours, some are from your mother and you just don't care -out they go!!!
We are just throwing stuff overboard from a ship.
"A heavy box, worried about keys, a small box, nervous on trains, another box, worries about coffee, a large crate, the 'sister-thing', another crate,etc".
In fact you could do that mentally - throw stuff overboard from your mind that you don't like.Try it?
Tip#2
Beliefs and constructs like "I am very sorry -but this is true :("
Maybe you are ugly,or getting older,or cannot turn your bottom/bum/butt back 30 years!
How metaphysical do you want to go?
Theoretically one can do anything.
But beware of the sneaky things written on the blank canvas - somethings really are just a creation by the self.
Remember, something is "True" only because you believe it is true.
.....have a feel around for ALL the concepts your are holding on a subject...see tip3.
Tip#3
Emotions.
Some beliefs may flood you with emotions.
This is not a hypnotic suggestion-
Don't create emotions if they are not there or because I am not telling you they are there for you.
It is my belief that emotions carry a set of beliefs with them.
Is this yours?
When I am upset or fearful or bored or contented my outlook on the whole of my life can vary from "What's the point -nothing I do makes any difference" to "I am mighty -watch me create!!!"
Tip3 is to maintain an exterior point of view. Be your own counselor
"Wooo a whole load of grief and upset here -eeek - I am crying"
Be neutral.
Remember the blank canvas.
Remember these are just Things, Creations, like a painting.
For spiritual types be your Higher Self perhaps and look (down?) on the persona, the 'Paloma Porta' before you with love and compassion.
Tip#4
Don't 'chew' on things.
This may be a habit of yours -it may not be !!!
To chew on stuff seems to be a human occupation. One feels a set of unhappy thoughts and just wallows in the horribleness of the idea or concept one has created.
It all seems so true. It's happened before so it will happen again.
You just sit there looking at the whole miserable concept - what a shame people just don't do the next steps !!
.Stay neutral -remember the blank canvas.
.See the 'thing' as a self created thing (and thus 'true')
.See the past experience as solely created by the ..'thing'.
.Now we've got the whole miserable 'thing' in mind from the chewing over of it...
.and let gooooooo, stop flowing your power to it.
...Phewww :))
Tip#5
Try this on Everything and Everybody
Try changing a person using this method !!!
Imagine the whole other person is just a creation in your consciousness!!!
Uncle Pete - see him as a construct in yr mind - like a fear of... ping pong balls.
Then run Uncle Pete through the process above.
See what happens.
But again here ,especially, don't think about it - 'that's ridiculous' etc.
Forget all the 'real world' stuff.
Just run poor old Uncle Pete , the slime-ball belief you have of him through the method.
Like I have said in other articles ...the labels we put on people can have an astonishing affect.
Maybe Uncle Pete isn't a slime ball after all.
Maybe Uncle Pete is still reported as a slime ball -but weirdly after this -he isn't with you!!!
Enjoy...lol
Tip#6
Don't think ...feeeeel
Don't go back to the mind to figure and understand all this
Mind generated understanding is the booby prise.
We are being The Divine, or Higher Self or consciousness or spirit or part of the brain (!) exterior to the mind.
Some call it the Watcher or the Witness.
I have labelled it as Neutral (in Tip#3) , as an umbrella term.
Just feel this.
And let the mental constructs go.
Tip#7
Don't think ..breathe
This seems to work.
Breathe into things - nice big breath in and slow breath out -whatever
Breathe - it seems to encourage feeling and diminish thinking.
Tip#8
Having let the old construct or idea of yourself go - dont' rush into creating yourself as the the most confident person ever or LOVING spiders.
Just relaxxxxx.
There's a thing called spiritual greed - just chill out - get enlightenment after lunch tomorrow -chilll.
If you purge some life changing beliefs you may find you're a bit of a different person.
Relax into any new horizons a little.
...
Stuff may happen that you cannot explain.
For us spiritual types this is an excellent sign !!!
Don't try to explain it with the physical world as defined by the english language.
Just smile :))
Conclusion
You gotta believe you are the Lord God Almighty of your mind.
There is no power but yourself that can control what goes in there.
Everything that comes out of your mind as thoughts,judgments,labels that you put on things , is all of your own creation.

Tip#4
Don't 'chew' on things.
This may be a habit of yours -it may not be !!!
To chew on stuff seems to be a human occupation. One feels a set of unhappy thoughts and just wallows in the horribleness of the idea or concept one has created.
It all seems so true. It's happened before so it will happen again.
You just sit there looking at the whole miserable concept - what a shame people just don't do the next steps !!
.Stay neutral -remember the blank canvas.
.See the 'thing' as a self created thing (and thus 'true')
.See the past experience as solely created by the ..'thing'.
.Now we've got the whole miserable 'thing' in mind from the chewing over of it...
.and let gooooooo, stop flowing your power to it.
...Phewww :))
Tip#5
Try this on Everything and Everybody
Try changing a person using this method !!!
Imagine the whole other person is just a creation in your consciousness!!!
Uncle Pete - see him as a construct in yr mind - like a fear of... ping pong balls.
Then run Uncle Pete through the process above.
See what happens.
But again here ,especially, don't think about it - 'that's ridiculous' etc.
Forget all the 'real world' stuff.
Just run poor old Uncle Pete , the slime-ball belief you have of him through the method.
Like I have said in other articles ...the labels we put on people can have an astonishing affect.
Maybe Uncle Pete isn't a slime ball after all.
Maybe Uncle Pete is still reported as a slime ball -but weirdly after this -he isn't with you!!!
Enjoy...lol
Tip#6
Don't think ...feeeeel
Don't go back to the mind to figure and understand all this
Mind generated understanding is the booby prise.
We are being The Divine, or Higher Self or consciousness or spirit or part of the brain (!) exterior to the mind.
Some call it the Watcher or the Witness.
I have labelled it as Neutral (in Tip#3) , as an umbrella term.
Just feel this.
And let the mental constructs go.
Tip#7
Don't think ..breathe
This seems to work.
Breathe into things - nice big breath in and slow breath out -whatever
Breathe - it seems to encourage feeling and diminish thinking.
Tip#8
Having let the old construct or idea of yourself go - dont' rush into creating yourself as the the most confident person ever or LOVING spiders.
Just relaxxxxx.
There's a thing called spiritual greed - just chill out - get enlightenment after lunch tomorrow -chilll.
If you purge some life changing beliefs you may find you're a bit of a different person.
Relax into any new horizons a little.
...
Stuff may happen that you cannot explain.
For us spiritual types this is an excellent sign !!!
Don't try to explain it with the physical world as defined by the english language.
Just smile :))
Conclusion
You gotta believe you are the Lord God Almighty of your mind.
There is no power but yourself that can control what goes in there.
Everything that comes out of your mind as thoughts,judgments,labels that you put on things , is all of your own creation.
