2012: The Year to Believe and Create
By Emmy Suzy Morgan

What if 2012 is not so much about earth changes, but rather changes within our very core? Could it be time for us to step into bigger shoes? Time to learn to trust in the Unseen? Time to trust in something beside our ego? 2012 will give us all an opportunity to live differently.

Some of us will jump right in and others will stick in one toe at a time. Both work. Do what feels comfortable to you but do take a chance – on yourself. Put your money down on you. If you don’t believe in you, who will?

Our whole lives we have been taught to follow the rules. Were they our rules or did someone else set them up? Be honest with yourself. Are you all you could be? Or did the whole system backfire and now you feel like you can’t do the things you hoped you might be able to accomplish?

If you are reading this, you don’t need all those confining bars around you. It is time for you to expand. To open your heart and balance your mind so that as a woman you are able to think clearly and take action. As a man you are able to feel with your heart and treat others with loving kindness. It’s about coming into balance. We all deserve it.

It is time to step into bigger shoes than what you have dared to walk in before. It is time to stretch. To allow yourself the freedom to think big; the freedom to step out of your old patterns and take a risk for the better; the freedom to share your heart wealth as well as your financial wealth with others; and the freedom to allow yourself to own who you really are.

What if the Divine is within you? What if what you want to create is already yours once you accept that this is so? What if by seeing yourself succeeding, you do? What if the love you want will come to you as soon as you allow yourself to love others and yourself? What if you are whole and perfect exactly as you are today?

Are you in? I’ll be looking for you doing the impossible right beside me.

2012 is the year to believe and create. Believe in yourself. Believe in each other. And know that the creator energy is within you. What if you have been holding yourself back and you are like a slingshot ready to be popped? It’s time. Together we are stronger than alone. We are here now to support each other.

I believe in you. I know you can do what you think is impossible. Picture how you want to live. What it is that will make you know you are on the right track? What is it you have wanted to do but always thought you couldn’t? Now’s the time. We are in a place in the history of the planet unlike any other in modern time.

Do you need permission to live your dream? I am giving you permission now, today, to change how you see yourself. Think of the most exciting person you’ve seen and deliberately step into their shoes. Com’on, just pretend. What do you have to lose? Just for today pretend you are the person you most admire. I’m going for the top. I challenge you to do the same.

Here’s to a fabulous 2012 where we finally learn that we are one. One with each other. One with what appears to be the enemy. One with the robbers and scoundrels as well as one with those who spend their lives helping others. If the creator energy is within you, what plans are you making to change yourself and your world?

The Power of the Spirit Resides in Each of Us

The Power of the Spirit Resides in Each of Us
By Steven C Maglecic

Within each of us resides the power of the spirit that is as real as anything on the material plane. This power helps us connect to the great Divine, and it guides us on our path in life. We can be open to the this and listen to its wise words, or completely closed to it and never even know it exists. Many people are like this. Have you known people who are angry, depressed and always lashing out? These people are not connected to the power of the spirit that is within them. No matter how potent it is, it brings a sort of peace to the person who acknowledges it and listens to it. When a person does this, that means the power can go about its business and do what it was meant to do, which is guide us towards our higher spiritual plane.

Your spirit communicates with you through your intuition. Do you know how your gut feeling is usually right? The truth is it is always right, and that it is your spirit power trying to guide you. You were born knowing things that you have long forgotten. Many mystics say that childhood is a long process of forgetting our spiritual birthright. Unfortunately, some adults never get back to what they once knew. However, that isn’t true for all adults. Many adults recognize that they seem to have a ‘sixth sense’ or something that is guiding them and telling those things and that only wants the best for them. This is the sixth sense, and it is a gift from the Divine. All humans have it. You can recognize your spirit power by listening to your intuition more and practicing the quieting of the mind. This can be done through mediation, prayer and breath work. Like anything, it will take practice. The more you practice the better you will get.

Working with your spirit power requires absolute truth. You cannot be living a life of lies and work with your spirit. No one can. If you know someone who is not a good person and yet who seems to be able to work with entities or spirits on a different plane, know that they are either telling falsehoods or are dealing with negative energies, not spirit powers. To work with what the Divine gave you, you must be truthful and have honest intentions. Tell your inner self about your life, your dreams and even your hurts and embarrassments. This will help cleanse you of the negative. You will feel lighter after you allow your spirit to know your greatest weaknesses, because you will be able to finally let all that damaging energy go. As you are cleansed, you will find that your spirit becomes more active and fruitful in your life.

Working with your spirit power is a growth experience. It will never be complacent. Be prepared to grow in ways that might appear scary at first. Your beliefs will change and grow, and some of your most cherished opinions might fall by the wayside. You must trust your spirit power because it is guiding you towards the truth that will bring you closer to the Divine. Most people who tap into the power of the spirit find it to be the best and most important experience of their entire life. Sometimes the way might seem obscured, but it is important to keep moving forward and to keep asking your spirit power to guide you. Be assured it will never abandon you, and that what it will show you is absolutely priceless.

Power of the spirit and how your thinking affects you. 2012 Prophecy says it is a year of enlightenment. Think positive and change your life. Steve is a registered Minister as well a Clinical Hypnotherapist, Time Techniques Practitioner, Emotional Freedom Practitioner, Neuro-Linguistic Programming Practitioner, and a Success Coach. Through the use of these techniques self healing can be achieved.

What You Think Life Is, It Isn’t!

What You Think Life Is, It Isn’t!
By Caroline Cory

The physical worlds, planetary systems and universes are connected through energetic and electro-magnetic lines and grids which overlap in such a way as to unite homogeneously. They all converge at one Source, the original Universal Creator-Source from which all Life springs. No world can be sustained outside these energetic fields or without the rhythmic breath and pulse of this Creator-Source.

The energetic grids have several functions which include establishing and maintaining gravitational forces, interplanetary communication and broadcasts, vehicle transportation and time separation.

All planets, solar systems, galaxies and universes are created simultaneously. While scientists may still consider their physical movement and evolution to be chaotic, they are all, in fact, in perfect cosmic order and arrangement. Their systematic gravitational forces maintain a perfect harmonic balance in relation with one another and with their original Creator-Source. The organized gravitational forces of all physical systems and intelligent life are indeed eternal, indestructible and infinitely connected to each other and to the one Creator-Source.

All existence, physical and non-physical, has consciousness to a varying degree and due to its electro-magnetic nature, it must travel and communicate through energetic lines. A Thought or a Force, for example, has a vibrational frequency which requires the use of grids and matrixes to travel from one physical point to another. Thought is communicated within your planet, and with other planets, galaxies and universes through these energetic lines. While invisible to you, these communications and broadcasts are actual and incessant allowing the maintenance of a Thought / Mind balance within your planet and your neighboring worlds.

All humans begin life here. You may say that Earthly existence is the beginning of life experience and from here, your mind expands until it is able to handle higher realities. Due to the bending of cosmic light which refracts against your Earth’s electro-magnetic grid, your physical reality appears as a spectrum of fixed colors which in turn determines your capacity to observe life as finite, configured to restricted meanings you can comprehend.

The denser the atmosphere the cosmic light must infiltrate the more fractured or distorted it becomes. Since it is energy, it is also consciousness and carries information. The light bending and refraction that occur within your system allows only a portion of the eternal reality and information of the cosmos to be perceived. In that sense, you only perceive a distorted version of the Truth. While your potential is eternal, your experience begins in what thus appears to be a limited and controllable setting. It is “illusory”, indeed.

If physical reality was to be perceived by a spirit being, it would appear fluid, in constant motion, eternally active. The rate of vibration of each object perceived equals its composing elements and density but their vibrational frequency can only be perceived as static energy from a human perspective: a table or an automobile, for example, are in fact minute vibrating particles of one form of energy in constant motion, while you perceive them as solid material objects. That is the nature of physical or material reality.

From the Spirit’s multi-dimensional perspective, physical reality also appears in layers as follows:

� First layer: The concept / idea

� Second layer: The expression / language

� Third layer: The frequency / energetic manifestation / emotion

� Fourth layer: the object / physical manifestation

When “flattened”, these layers are one and the same thing. The process of making the idea into an object is spontaneous for divine beings but for humans, all 4 layers must be processed through the energetic grids of time and space in order to materialize the idea into the object.

Before you appear in the physical, you project your consciousness into a multitude of layers of existence and a range of vibrational frequencies. Your brain waves’ frequency determines which layer you are experiencing at that time: when you are focused on physical matters, your brain waves fluctuate from 14 to 30 cycles per second; when you are asleep, your brain waves are vibrating at 1 to 4 cycles per second… You are the same being existing in these multitudes of layers or dimensions, as you may call them. You are simply switching focus from one layer to another. While you may think that only physical reality is real, your consciousness exists at once in physical and non-physical layers of reality which are all real. You are multi-dimensional beings indeed.

From a Spirit perspective, there are no layers, illusions or veils. These concepts exist in the human perceptual fields. The Divine Mind or Spirit sees reality as light while humans can only see it through emotions and sensory perception. This perceptual impediment IS the veil we speak of. Continuous negative emotions can become obstructions to your advancement because the layers or veils of physical reality begin to thicken. When confronted with fear or anger for example, you are unable to see beyond these emotional veils unless you address the factors behind them and identify their origins and purpose.

Emotions are a primordial tool in recognizing what feels good and what does not as you interact with the physical world. Your Spirit Self uses emotions as a guidance system while you navigate through the physical. They are precursors to choice and decision making. Therefore emotions are not only necessary but crucial to your spiritual and creative evolution. Additionally, emotions are the tools by which you are able to “purge” the detrimental energies being accumulated or stored in your physical body and transmute them into beneficial thought forms. The emotions of anger or strong sadness allow you to experience negative feelings powerfully so you may re-channel them appropriately. Rather than suppressing these emotions, it is more constructive to embrace and utilize them as powerful tools in reshaping your experience.

When you become able to assimilate the original idea and the physical manifestation as one, you can materialize everything you think of instantly. At that stage, you are piercing through the veils of your physicality and thinking ideas into existence, without the emotional stumble blocks. Such is the work of the Masters but it is in fact a natural process for all evolutionary material beings once they learn to transcend physical reality’s layered and illusionary properties.

The Action Taker Versus The Thinker, And What They Both Attract

Consciousness Awakening on Vimeo by Ralph BuckleyThe Action Taker Versus The Thinker, And What They Both Attract
By Joshua Clayton

To attract, we must act and not react. Sure, like a foot traveler, we must take each individual action like a walker traveling to their destination. This need not be hard or easy, but it does need to be something important that we do. Life cannot be confined to mere theory, but must be genuinely expressed in action or it is genuinely empty in every way without matter to how “beautiful” or “interesting” all theories came up with are.

Action without thought is the ultimate unconscious instinct without direction sure, but thought without action is even worse without matter to how objective it is. Think about that fact for a moment before you go on with this article because I am going to say some comfortable and uncomfortable things about the nature of reality.

Action with thought is the key to attraction, laziness is the key to nothing but not thinking and not acting. The only reality there is or can be that really counts is conscious action, unconscious action does not count except as filler for the conscious actions we all take. Creativity in this sense is the ultimate key to attraction, anything in nature can compete to be the best, but only the original creator can create the best. This is what I really mean by action with thought makes everything work. One without the other is literal unconsciousness and nothing else.

We create consciousness, unconsciousness just exists. Sure, that is another uncomfortable fact, but that is reality. When we are conscious, genuine caring and attraction starts. If that was not real, the inventor would not be creative, the inventor would be competitive.

Competition is instinctive, like one peacock trying to create a better plume of feathers on itself instinctively than the next peacock. Creativity is purely conscious and original. If it was not, nothing would be created and everything would be competed for. Each person creates an original consciousness and there are not any exceptions to this rule which is why original consciousness is always superior to competitive instinct. So, think about this reality: Consciousness and activity attracts. Inactivity and unconsciousness does not attract, it scatters.

So, real consciousness uses instinct sometimes, but, it is not based on instinct in any way. Instinct is secondary to consciousness. We must realize this fact at all levels before we use attraction “instinctively”. The best laid plans and actions are mostly the best. While the most instinctive plans and actions that fall within the scope of the plans we make sometimes help those plans and actions work. So, I end by repeating: Instinct is secondary to consciousness.

My name is Joshua Clayton, I am a freelance writer based in Inglewood, California. I also write under a few pen-names and aliases, but Joshua Clayton is my real name, and I write by that for the most part now. I am a philosophical writer and objective thinker and honest action taker.
I also work at a senior center in Gardena, California as my day job, among other things, but primarily I am a writer.

About the Secret

About the Secret
By Will Edwards

The Secret is the title of a best-selling book by author, Rhonda Byrne and it is also the title of a full length movie that was released via the internet and based upon the book. According to Wikipedia, the movie was released in March 2006 though the Wikipedia entry does seem a little confused at present.

When I saw Rhonda Byrne interviewed, speaking about her personal experience of writing the book, it seems that she first became aware of the idea when she read The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles, back in 2004. After the death of her father, when she was at her lowest ebb emotionally, physically and financially, her daughter gave her the book to read and Rhonda commented that it gave her a first “glimpse of the secret.”

After that, she said that she spent hundreds of hours reading books, listening to audios, gradually learning more about the secret and tracing it back in history. She became passionate about sharing the secret, she appeared on the Oprah show and, what do you know, everything changed for her.

What is The Secret?

Quite simply, the secret is about the Law of Attraction. If you have never before heard of this, the law of attraction states that like attracts like. The idea is that it is operating, all of the time, whether you like it or not, to bring your future into reality. If your thoughts are full of negativity, then that’s what turns up in your life; if you think happy thoughts, you get a different life. It just sounds too good to be true – right?

When I ask people if they are optimists or pessimists at my workshops, I usually get a minority who admit to being pessimists. That is because, I believe, pessimists generally prefer the label ‘realist’. They often don’t see themselves as pessimistic, but realistic. It turns out that things don’t generally go too well for them in life, so they are not being pessimistic, but realistic, they say. Now isn’t that an interesting fact?

Similarly, when you question the optimists, you find out that they take the view that they tend to be naturally lucky, that things often do work out well for them and, if they don’t, they can always deal with the situation should it arise. The fact is that they do seem to be luckier and things do seem to work out well for them more often. Now, regardless of how this ‘law’ works, here we have a simple example (optimism/pessimism) that is very easy to corroborate.

There have been many studies on the benefits of optimism. Optimists and pessimists alike, according to proponents, are both making use of the same Law of Attraction to create their own versions of reality. However, optimists live in a much brighter world in which the universe seems favourable to their dreams and desires whilst pessimists continue to argue the toss that life is just not like that.

Where Did The Secret Originate?

There are a number of well known New Thought books, now in the public domain, that all advocate the same basic principle including:

  • As a Man Thinketh by James Allen
  • The Master Key System by Charles Haanel
  • The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D Wattles
  • Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill

Neither Wallace D Wattles nor James Allen directly refer to the principle as the Law of Attraction, however, both books are indeed based upon the concept. Both Charles Haanel and Napoleon Hill refer directly to the principle by name. The title of Allen’s book comes from the book of Proverbs and if you simply read the verse from which the title is taken, you can quite easily discern what was in the mind of the author.

“As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he.” – Proverbs 23:7

Of course, this brings up the fact that the principle appears in the Bible and not just in the book of Proverbs either. It apparently also appears in Hindu scriptures and I would not be surprised to find it elsewhere within religious texts because it is essentially, a correct principle.

Here is the principle, as I see it anyway, in the Buddist scriptures:

“We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts we make the world.” – The Dhammapada

It seems that a famous hadith of the prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him) may support the proposal that the principle is also to be found in Islam:

“actions are by intentions, so each man will have what he intended.”

Religious texts are always open to interpretation of course, so if you see things differently, then that’s ok with me. You could certainly argue the above scriptures either way, but it seems to me that if the principle is correct, then we should expect to find it within religions writings. Thoughts, after all, are one form of prayer.

Application of The Secret

Now, this is the part that many people get wrong. Somehow, from the popular books, it seems that quite a number of people have got the impression that all you need to do is think about what you want and it will come to you without any effort on your part. None of the above writers say that this is the case.

Wattles says, on this very point, that people meet their ‘shipwreck’ when they fail to connect thought with action. James Allen says that people will only see the results and not the effort that went in to producing them, Napoleon Hill is a strong advocate of having a plan and then working it and finally, Charles Haanel says that thought is what we put out to the universe and thought is what is received.

All of the above-mentioned writers are in complete agreement that thought is an important part of the process of achieving success, but none of them advocate thinking alone as a mean of getting what you want in life. Without exception, they all advocate taking persistent, goal-focused action.

All you really need to know about the secret is that it essentially concerns the importance of constructing a vision for your life. When you have done that, you should to focus upon it regularly. If you are a religions person, then you obviously would arrive at your vision prayerfully because your future is bound up with what you believe God wants for your life. If you do this and arrive at a solid and detailed picture of what you believe is your future, then regardless of the mechanisms that are involved, like so many people before you, you will begin to find the way.

You will receive ideas that will illuminate your path and, if you are serious about achieving what you have envisioned, you will commit yourself to taking continuous action that will move you in the direction of your goal. If you do these things, nothing can prevent you from achieving success.

The Awakened Soul: Marching to a Different Drum

Image via Wikipedia

The Awakened Soul: Marching to a Different Drum
By Jacob A Nordby

A nice definition of an awakened person: a person who no longer marches to the drums of society, a person who dances to the tune of the music that springs up from within. ~ Anthony de Mello

Within each of us is an inner orchestra and it is led by Soul, the invisible conductor of our life. We have trouble hearing this music in our modern world because we are engulfed in the clang and rush of external pressures. We often wonder why we keep mindlessly doing all the things which distract us from the call of purpose, but even this small, questioning voice is drowned out as we race to work, hack away at piles of obligation and drop exhausted into bed at night.

Does this sound familiar? Do you ever wonder how to stop the noise and re-discover the joy and harmony of your inner song?

First, it’s good to know you’re not alone. With almost no exception, everyone living in today’s first-world society struggles to carve out space in which we can remember ourselves.

I could spend a lot of time talking in generalities or bemoaning our stressed-out culture, but that’s not the purpose of this article.

No, I intend to strike a clear reminder bell: just that one ringing note which calls us back to mindfulness and peace.

Can you hear it in your imagination right now? It cuts through the clutter of voicemail and bills and ambition and depressing circumstances. It says, “Come find me. I’m your reason for living. I’m your purpose, your passion…your bliss. I will revive your joy. I will give new meaning to the mundane parts of life. I’m your north star and your guiding light.”

A practical sort of person is thinking, “…that sounds lovely and poetic, but what do I do with it? I want the magic back, but for godsake, man…give me something solid to put my feet on here.”

That’s a fair request. In fact, it’s more than fair. We have come to a critical point in human progress at which we are asking ourselves to bring together all the many centuries of higher wisdom and apply it. We know that we know better than we are doing. We know that we don’t need war and greed. We know that just piling up more stuff will never satisfy our essential questing selves.

So here we are. We live in this world. It does no good to wait for society to slow down or re-arrange itself around more meaningful values. We are tasked with finding balance for ourselves, but how?

Anthony de Mello gives us a clue in his definition of an awakened person: “…a person who no longer marches to the drums of society…”.

We’ve already talked about the drums of society: the expectations and obligations and death-by-a-thousand-cuts duties which demand our attention.

So, how do we silence those drums and start living life on our own terms?

Like any worthwhile journey, this one starts with a few simple steps. Here are some suggestions:

    1. Re-imagine. I invite you to sit quietly with a notebook and pen. For awhile, just doodle around the edges and write down whatever loose ends are nagging at you. Then, write yourself a letter. Tell yourself what is most important in life. Daydream about what you’d be doing and how you would be living if you could begin again with purpose. Don’t shortcut this step. Your quiet, inner voice needs room to play. Take care that the new dreams you write are your own…not the ones dictated by the “drums of society”. How does that feel?

 

    1. Start small. Do something every day to encourage your awakening. Just a short meditation, reading a good book, taking a long walk, or writing in a journal for twenty minutes can be powerful catalysts for self-discovery and transformation.

 

  1. Walk away. Remember that you have much more power of choice than you have been exercising. Can you turn off the television more often, cut out un-necessary expenses or compress your duties at work? We all end up carrying weights which are no longer necessary, and we often can’t remember why we agreed to pick them up in the first place.

In my own experience, when I got radically clear and honest, I found piles of extra baggage to shed. It wasn’t easy to de-junkify my life at first. I had to learn that saying “no” to stuff which no longer served me was a way of saying “yes” to my awakening purpose. People didn’t always understand my new path, and this is where I learned the value of listening to myself as never before.

Does this give you a bit more visibility on how to simplify your life and re-connect with your own inner music?
