Still Waiting For That Breakthrough

Doing all the right stuff, but still no results.

Susan has been fasting and praying for a financial blessing for numerous years. It has been her primary focus and dominates her thoughts. She is a Christian, reads her Bible daily, and faithfully attends church every week. Sunday after Sunday, her pastor shouts, "Hang on, your breakthrough is coming!!!" However, years later, it still has not happened and Susan is losing faith.

Kevin is battling a health condition that he has suffered for most of his life. In spite of his ongoing health issues, he maintains a positive outlook. He studies Eastern based spiritualism and believes the power of his mind creates his reality. As a result, he routinely practices a variety of techniques that promote higher consciousness and healing. After an extended period of time, Kevin is losing patience because his health problems seemingly are not improving.

What is going on???

Ancient wisdom teaches us the law of attraction: We draw to us what we focus on. Our emotions, thoughts, and words are manifested into physical reality. All of us have daily experiences supporting mind over matter. In contrast, many individuals complain that they have prayed, wished for, and concentrated on something fervently for an extended time, yet, it still has not manifested. As a result, they lose faith and hope, become bitter, and question their spiritual beliefs.

"Everything we do echoes into eternity."

Marcus Aurelius

The Universal Law of Cause and Effect aka Karma: Everything we do in the natural realm sends energy throughout the supernatural realm that returns back to us. The principle of reaping what you sow has been taught since the earliest civilizations by notable philosophers, major religions, and is supported by quantum physics.

Positive Versus Negative

The Universal Law of Polarity: The universe is energy that exists on 2 opposite poles. Simply stated, everything that exists has an opposite version...high frequency versus low frequency. Everything, including our emotions and thoughts will gravitate toward one pole or the other. The universe is a conscious entity striving to maintain balance between opposing forces.

Mind Elevation

The Universal Law of Perpetual Transmutation: Higher frequency energy overpowers lower frequency energy. Isn't that great news? Higher frequency energy vibrates at a faster rate. Elevating our consciousness to increase vibrations is the key to anything we desire in life. The techniques to achieve high frequency or Christ consciousness may vary based on spiritual beliefs, but all accomplish the same goal. Jesus Christ of the New Testament Bible is a perfect example of mastering perpetual transmutation.

Yin and Yang

The Universal Law of Gender: Everything that exists has both masculine and feminine traits. Masculine and feminine is not limited to the sexual differences in animals. It represents all opposite properties that complement each other within the same entity, such as light and darkness. There must be a balance and harmony for positive things to manifest.

Just like us, the universe strives to create ideal circumstances for its existence. The interplay of the universal laws in cosmic balance is the reason for every situation. There is no religion or belief system that can escape that reality. 

The following are plausible and scientific based explanations of why your breakthrough still has not arrived:

1. You are not adequately prepared for what you are wishing for. Manifesting a reality you are not ready for disrupts balance. The circumstances in your life may not support or accommodate your desires. Your higher self is not restricted by time and already knows the future. It is lining up your ducks in a row to create the ideal yin/yang situation. It may take time to set the necessary things in place.
   
2. You are not in the right season. The spirit realm does not operate within time, but in seasons according to the universal law of rhythms. There are patterns and cycles in nature that must be honored. You might be praying for something that should occur at a different phase in your journey. The higher energy will be shifting in your life to create balance. When the appropriate season rolls around everything will fall into place.
   
3. The Butterfly Effect: What happens to the singular resonates throughout the collective experience. The universal law of divine oneness governs this process. Like a chain reaction, the events within the life of an individual impacts every other life on the planet and beyond. In the same manner that the individual may not be prepared, the collective may not be ready either. There must be a coordination of circumstances set into place...harmony.
   
4. Your focus is not in alignment with your life's mission. Your life naturally gravitates toward alignment with your higher purpose. Creating a reality contrary to that will disrupt the yin/yang. In this situation, it is best to let nature takes its course. Until you discover your life's mission, you will concentrate on the wrong things. However, when you know what you came here to do, your feelings and thoughts will be in harmony with your higher self.
   
5. The reality created by previous consciousness has not completed it course. What we are presently experiencing is the result of karma from previous states of energy. Our current emotions, thoughts, and actions must surpass the threshold of the previous ones. That may take awhile depending on the power of your consciousness. According to the universal law of perpetual transmutation, raising our vibrations will facilitate manifestation.
   
   
   
6. Curses, spells, and black magic zapping your power. Scary stuff! Whether you believe in it or not, it is actively practiced around the world. The general purpose of curses and spells is to manipulate the reality of other people. Scientifically, it is very low vibration energy being directed at a person. That energy is spiritual in nature designed to override the recipient's mental powers. Raising the vibrations of one's consciousness will repel the lower vibrations based on the law of perpetual transmutation.
   

All of creation operates within the boundaries of divine purpose and cosmic laws. Once we understand how those rules apply to our existence, there will be no limits on what we can achieve! The mystery schools of ancient times knew this information in detail and it was considered sacred. If someone has been waiting a long time for something and doing all the right things, please continue to do so. Be patient and keep the positive energy flowing. Your situation will rearrange itself accordingly for your maximum benefit within the boundaries of the universal frontier.

“Everything is energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.” Bashar

What strategies can a person use to remain focused, patient, and motivated during long waiting periods? How does one's spiritual beliefs impact the specific rituals practiced in achieving his or her goals? If you practice a particular religion, how does it compare and contrast with the scientific explanation on how our reality is manifested? If you are an atheist, how does your view on reality manifestation compare and contrast with spiritual views?

Calgon Take Me Away!!!

It is easy for us to get caught up in the rat race of modern fast-paced living. In order to function in a hectic society we must, in turn, adopt a hectic lifestyle, particularly in the busy cities. Technology, although propelling the human race forward, has created a more complicated environment that is increasingly difficult to navigate. The simplicity that births calmness and serenity has been degraded and outright obliterated. Acquiring a higher consciousness and perception requires stillness, self-reflection, and serenity. Unfortunately, the madness generated from functioning in a hectic society detaches us from our inner spiritual world...where universal wisdom, peace, and the divinely perfect versions of ourselves live. In other words, a huge number of people on the planet are operating at much lower frequencies than nature intended. The staggering and growing incidents of mental, physical, and social illnesses are evidence of a lower frequency existence. A busy hectic lifestyle does not support the stillness and serenity necessary for spiritual growth.

Universal Truths

Our outer world (physical) is a reflection of our inner world (spiritual). 

The outer world is temporary, but the inner world is infinite.

The reality we see out there originates from the reality inside of us.

Higher consciousness and perception lead us to our inner reality and spiritual growth.

Higher consciousness and perception is energy vibrating at higher frequencies.

Every conscious human being on the planet has the ability to elevate their frequencies through connection with their inner spiritual world...the true self, the higher dimensions, and the infinite source of everything. 

Spiritual alignment is not difficult, but requires a deliberate course of action. 

Calgon Take Me Away!!!

• First and foremost, make a decision to set aside time out of a busy schedule to do the things that promote your spiritual alignment, such as meditation, spending more time outdoors in nature, listening to therapeutic music, and various other practices; Incorporate those activities into your daily routine. 
  
• Any stress relieving activity promoting calmness increases our vibrations and heals chakra energy. 
  
• Heightened perceptions happen by way of the pineal gland in the brain (third eye). Eat a healthy diet, maintain physical fitness, and get adequate rest. 
  
• Eliminate as much negativity as possible from your life, including thought patterns, people, and situations that don't enhance you. 
  
• Simplify your life as much as possible by removing clutter and reorganizing your environment when necessary.
  

Always remember that our earthly existence has a specific purpose and mission to accomplish. The sustainment of modern societies is materialism which distracts people from their higher purposes. Of course, materialism serves a role by sustaining our physical existence, shelter, food, clothing, etc. However, it is not the reason why we exist. The source of any divine mission is from the spiritual realm. The focus is to raise the vibrations of the world we live in.

You are the universe having a human experience.
Make it the absolute best it can be.

In what ways do you feel the environment you live in (big city, small town, rural, etc.) has impacted your spiritual journey?

Are God And The Universe The Same Thing?

When you hear the term "universe" what do you immediately visualize? Most people think of the cosmos or the material universe---the void of space, galaxies, constellations, etc. In reality, the universe is various frequencies of energy that manifest both the material and the non-material. Also included are the quantitative realities that subdivide our universe. In general, it consists of distinct and organized patterns or expressions evolving from one source~the Flower of Life. 

As New Age spirituality evolves, the viewpoint of traditional religion on the nature of God is being challenged. It is interesting that what is labeled New Age is actually a very ancient school of thought. Most every New Age guru or occultist utilizes ancient teachings that predate the sacred books of the major religions, such as the Christian Bible.

There are 2 general perspectives on the topic of this discussion that umbrella almost every religious/spiritual belief system:

1. Panentheism-God is a separate entity from the universe. The universe is a creation or an expression of the Creator, but not the divine being. Therefore, the universe is not eternal and can come to an end. The universe operates under the direction of its Creator who can alter or change the rules at will. The parting of the Red Sea in the Book of Exodus represents such a God.

2. Pantheism-God is the universe itself and all its many manifestations. God, aka the Creator, is not distinct from the creation, but operates as the creation, including you and me. The pantheist views God as an organic machine that must follow the laws of nature. Everybody and everything is God which are infinitely guided by the universal laws.

"We know from science that nothing in the universe exists as an isolated or independent entity."

Margaret J. Wheatley

"Not only are we in the universe, the universe is in us..."  Neil deGrasse Tyson

"I Am that I Am." Exodus 3:14 Old Testament, The Holy Bible

The major viewpoints on the nature of God have been presented. In the face of objectivity, quantum mechanical findings provide more support for the Pantheistic theory. At the same time, one could assume that the energy that designed the Flower of Life geometry is a distinct conscious entity. At the end of the day, living a life that radiates positive energy is the key that opens the door to anything we will ever need to know. A quote from Buddha eloquently sums it up:

"I do not care to know your various theories about God. What is the use of discussing all the subtle doctrines of the soul? Do good and be good. And this will take you to freedom and to whatever truth there is..."

Getting It Right At Home

Lately, there has been a lot chatter about the possibility of extraterrestrial life and the likelihood of actual contact. Yikes!!! Sightings of UFOs and other celestial anomalies are becoming commonplace reported from around the world. The topic of otherworldly life has been placed on the round tables during publicly reported conferences of government and elite organizations...one can only imagine the private meetings that are occurring. NASA discovers new planetary systems and related astronomical information on a daily basis. Landmark findings of the Mars Exploration Rover, such as the presence of water, fascinate us with the possibility of life on alien soil. The quest for finding earth-like and/or human friendly planets appears on the forefront of scientific headlines. Conspiracy theorists, media analysts, and self-appointed experts are advising citizens to be prepared for official announcements of otherworldly encounters. 

There has been all types of speculations on the nature and purpose of beings from another world. Most relevantly, how their interaction with our planet would play out in reference to safety and global agendas.

At the end of the day, it makes no sense to obsess and worry about over-inflated concerns on extraterrestrial topics. The overall scenario of any extraterrestrial life is out of our physical control. 

The most precious wisdom that can be bestowed is the achievement of humanitarian unity with each other. 

I am not referring to unity based on fear of something alien. In contrast, unity based on human beings recognizing and embracing their oneness. Unity and oneness manifested through the power of agape love is the best course of action. Agape love generates beautiful karma universally. By nature, agape love only recognizes the common denominator (the Creator) of everything; it is not concerned with physical or mental attributes. It is not concerned with man-made institutions of religion. Connection with our common denominator unites us with love and each other. 

Humanitarian love, peace, and unity may sound cliche, but it lays the foundation for true solidarity.

We will never be able to execute an effective strategy in dealing with alien differences if we do not embrace the human sameness of one another.

We are all manifestations of the same thing. Division among us humans occurs when the focus is on what makes us different. If anything alien invades our world, those differences will become gigantically menial and insignificant! It is highly unlikely one would stress over the variations among humans as an alien species presents. There has never been a better time to fall in love with the human race, flaws and all.

Human relations and how we treat our planet far outweigh the relevance of what is out there.

The planet earth is our home. Let's get it right here. Let's get it right with each other.

The Spiritual Side of Romance

Romantic love or the Greek delineation eros, for most individuals is the most exciting and intense form of human affection. It can move like a roller coaster ride with extreme highs that dip down to extreme lows. The sensuality of the romantic experience releases feel good chemicals in our brains, offering a slice of paradise on earth. It causes the beneficial merging of lives, creation of more humans, and ultimately, survival of the human race. The very thrill of eros at its best is worth the agony of the down-side as expressed in the popular quote by poet Alfred Lord Tennyson: 

"Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all."

Many of us probably agree with that testament in spite of enduring the pain of a broken heart. 

Romance as an Holistic Experience

The blissful unification of body and heart reverberates to the spirit. As a result, the spirit soars vibrating at higher frequencies. The heart is a manifestation of the mind where our emotions originate. The mind/heart is how the soul energy expresses itself in the physical world. The brain is simply the physical receiver or translator of that energy. Therefore, what we perceive as falling in love is the merging or the attempt to merge with the energy of another. It is fundamentally a supernatural experience of higher consciousness, no matter how short-lived it might be.

Let It Go

Just as every experience we have impacts our holistic being, so does our love relationships. Every romance leaves its own unique signature on our souls and spirits. When that spiritual imprint impacts our perceptions and behaviors, we call it baggage. Once you release the emotions of former relationships (disconnect with that energy), the imprints will fade and so will your baggage.

Spirit Guide

In the ultimate quest for true love, communicating with spirit just makes sense. We become one with the Creator and the creation. The answers to all questions and the solutions to all problems dwell on the spirit realm. Self-exploration leads to spiritual connection which leads to self-improvement; a prerequisite to harmoniously joining forces with another. Practicing rituals that promote inner-connections will inevitably improve the decisions we make in our romantic interludes. Remember, anything we seek in the external world is created and regulated by the internal world. Love follows the same pattern of the supernatural over the natural.

In what specific ways do you feel good spiritual health can alleviate relationship problems, such as infidelity, domestic violence, or soaring divorce rates?

The Universal Magician

Have you ever been fascinated by a magic show exhibiting the skills of a magician? Most of us are dazzled by magic because it appears to defy the laws of nature. In actuality, the magician manipulates the natural laws of science to bring about illusion and trickery. The real magic lies in the power of the human mind to harness the supernatural in order to guide the natural.....create reality. It is about tapping into the real self to command the laws of nature and shape the world around us. We all are empowered with magic to use in our everyday lives. The higher we raise our consciousness, the more magical we become. 

NO TRICKS JUST TREATS
Have you tapped into your magical powers lately?

Science & Spirituality: Friends or Foes?

Science & Spirituality have not traditionally been friends. They live on opposite sides of the fence and travel down roads going in opposite directions. Both religion and spirituality have always offered explanations for things science could not explain. Traditionally, science has held the position that everything in existence must fit into a scheme of rules and laws that govern a natural, materialistic world. 

Every now and then, science stumbles upon a finding that is “concrete” supporting a religious belief, for example, the Shroud of Turin and the professed finding of Noah’s Ark.  Advanced equipment and climatic changes are now revealing ruins of ancient cities that once were considered myths. All those things are physical findings. Discovering anything concrete for the spirit world is a lot trickier. If it cannot be interpreted by the basic 5 physical senses, it is not considered valid. When science is unable to explain anything, it is labeled a mystery, phenomenon, and even nonexistent.

Quantum physics comes along and presents observable empirical data that does not neatly fit into the rigid categories of the science world. It suggests that maybe those crazy spiritual gurus are not that crazy after all! It is like the rebellious child that goes against tradition and paves its own way. Wikipedia The Free Encyclopedia states, "Quantum mechanics is the science of the very small: the body of scientific principles that explains the behavior of matter and its interaction with energy on the scale of atoms and subatomic particles." Studying the very small to explain the very big is a fascinating paradox! Extensive research conducted over the last few decades has yielded overwhelming evidence for life after death, nonphysical worlds/dimensions, nonphysical beings, and so on. One of the landmarks of quantum physics is the discovery that the physical world around us is energy; like a hologram made of light and sound. It puts a whole new spin on what the scientific-minded call concrete now doesn’t it?

Do you feel that quantum physics can harmoniously merge the two worlds of spirituality and science together? Explain why or why not. As quantum physics makes more and more discoveries, in what ways will the scientific community need to adjust and restructure?

The Year of Unification

As we embark on a new year of the revolving earth cycle, let us be inspired to tackle ongoing problems with a fresh approach. Of course, we do not have to wait for a 365 day cycle to do that. Every moment of our lives is an opportunity for a fresh start.

Looking externally for solutions will not solve anything, just provide a superficial and temporary fix. The problems we face in this world, like every other situation, originate with the spirit. You cannot fix a spiritual problem with a physical tool. Therefore, we must look inward where the real solutions are waiting. 

The vast majority of the issues we are fighting emerge from human polarization based on race/color, nationality, religion, and so on. As people become more spiritually awake, more aware of the oneness, the barriers that polarize us from one another will slowly dissolve. Unity is a gift of spiritual awareness and it will propel the human race forward.

The Good Karma Tonic

There are three main ingredients for the Good Karma Tonic: 

Compassion

Forgiveness

Gratitude

Those three basic ingredients have the power to shower you with abundant good karma and transform your reality taking you to places you never imagined!!! 

Tragically, a huge segment of the people on our planet exhibit the opposite character. The energy flow has been blocked by negative emotions separating them from their spiritual selves; they are selfish, indifferent, apathetic, bitter, unforgiving, ungrateful, unappreciative, arrogant...no wonder there is so much chaos in the world. Humanity has synthesized their own reality with a massive collective negativity! 

Compassion is the ability to love other living things and be concerned for their well-being regardless of their character. It is the willingness to help someone or something without personal agenda for worldly gain or reward. Jesus Christ is the ultimate example of compassion. It does not matter whether you are a Christian or not. His teachings and life story, whether one believes are real or symbolic, set the standard for all human beings to strive for: Loving one another unconditionally...the highest consciousness.

Forgiveness is one of the hardest sentiments to express, but crucial for a happy life. Freeing yourself from the prison of bitterness, hatred, and pain not only feels better, but opens up the cosmic gateway to positive energy. When someone hurts you, there is the initial physical and mental pain. That is inevitable. The lack of forgiveness is the lingering pain you experience by reliving the event in your mind; you are focusing on the past. That pain is even more pronounced if there are residual physical injuries or damage to your quality of life. The pain leads you to a state of lower energy, feeling bitterness and hate toward the so-called perpetrator. In actuality, YOU are the perpetrator, the creator of your world. You end up putting out more negative energy to the universe which has no choice but to spew it back toward you.

Gratitude versus lack of gratitude for the goodness in our lives is like saying "F" you to the spirit world, "F" you to the universe, "F" you to the Creator. You are giving all the credit for your worldly achievements solely to the mind and body. Does that make any sense if your are a spiritual being? Your failure to appreciate the true source of your gifts is like a slap in the face to God...clearly not a good thing. If you have ever done something nice for someone and they expressed gratitude, did it make you feel warm and fuzzy on the inside? Were you much more encouraged to do more good things for the individual and others? Karma responds the same way.

The positive side is it is never too late to halt negativity and even reverse the damage inflicted within the physical realm. We are all creators on the spirit plane that operates beyond the constraints of time; the concept of "too late" is nonexistent. The healing process must always begin with spirit. The spirit gives the soul the okay to open up the heart to higher love aka agape love. Once that happens, the compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude will happen spontaneously. Relapses happen when we lose touch with our higher selves. In other words, the compassion, forgiveness, and gratitude are already inside of us. In order to save ourselves and the world, we must find them.

Have you ever been in or presently in a situation struggling with compassion, forgiveness, and/or gratitude? If you were successful, what personal strategies did you implement? What do you think are the major hindrances of expressing those sentiments toward one another?

Kill Stress & Save Spirit

Most of us know that stress has a negative impact on the mind and body. Stress kills, maims, and disables. The majority of the diseases we face in the modern world are stress related. With the understanding that people are holistic beings, it stands to reason that stress also damages the spirit. The tension and emotional disturbances caused by unpleasant life situations resonates throughout the soul and spirit realms. Bad relationships, financial hardship, destruction and loss of personal property, unhealthy lifestyles, worrying about the future, etc. wear us down, deplete our strength, and hinder the flow of chakra energy within our bodies.

Peace

The Benefits of Darkness

Would the light of a candle truly be appreciated if there was no darkness?

A balanced life requires both light and darkness. 

The sunlight of day illuminates the planet allowing one to clearly navigate the physical world around them. The darkness of night comes along and quiets the world to sleep so healing and rejuvenation can take place. It is that healing and rejuvenation that prepares us for the next day. 

In like manner, the darkness of winter allows animals to hibernate in preparation for the sunlit months ahead. 
The earth's greenery and vegetation receives nourishment from both sun and rain. When the clouds mask the sunlight and darken the sky, life-giving rain falls. 

If it was not for the darkness, one could not adore the beauty of the stars and planets in the night sky. 

Light does not have significance without darkness. 

Our existence requires both elements to interact in a harmonious relationship.

Conflict occurs when darkness and light cannot interact according to the blueprint of nature.

What is your opinion on the topic? Should darkness always be considered a bad or negative thing? Is light always beneficial or desired? Is spiritual darkness in the same category with physical darkness? What are the similarities and/or the differences?

Love Versus Religion

Throughout history, religion has been the source of much of the conflict occurring on this planet. Historically, people in high places with their own agendas, have used religion as a tool in order to control, manipulate, and deceive the masses. Wouldn't it be a gigantic advancement of the human kind if religion was completely removed from the equation? Please watch this powerful short video from the Mind Unleashed TV series and share your thoughts.

How does this theory support or conflict with your religious and/or spiritual beliefs?

If You Like It, Then Please Do NOT Put A Ring On It

If the soaring divorce rate is any indication, putting a ring on it should not be taken lightly. My opinion is based on surmising that putting a ring on it symbolizes marriage in Beyonce's insanely popular mega hit. Imagine asking the average person what they thought the difference was between like and love. In more or less words, they will probably express that loving is simply a stronger, more intense version of liking. It is viewed as being almost the same emotion, but on a different point of the continuum. I beg to differ. 

Like and love are 2 different emotions that are similar, but not the same. The evidence for that is in our everyday lives. For instance, there are people that I love by virtue of their position, but I do not like them! When you like someone, you have feelings of fondness toward them based on what you perceive with your 5 natural senses. The person that you like probably has mental or physical traits that you admire. There is no spiritual connection or commitment. The love chakra is not yet activated.

Like is not a watered down version of love, although it may appear that way. Love can enter in the equation if the conditions are favorable. A couple in the early phase of their relationship may just like each other. As the relationship evolves, they may grow to love each other. The fact that they liked each other laid the foundation for love to emerge. However, the like did not become the love. It simply made the conditions more favorable for the love to happen.

When you love someone, no matter what type of love, your spirit communicates with their spirit. The love chakra is activated and you perceive things on a higher frequency. In other words, anyone who has ever loved anyone automatically encountered the supernatural. The cornerstone of love versus like is that love is based on using higher perception. Love requires awareness of the supernatural. Like is strictly limited to your intellectual perceptions and functions off the natural or physical realm.

Marriages require much work, sacrifice, dedication, and commitment to stay afloat. Particularly, in today's hectic and fast-paced world that bombards the union with multiple distractions. The genuine presence of mutual love provides an impermeable foundation for relationships. It creates a spiritual connection heightening the chances of marital survival. 

If you love it, then by all means, put a ring on it!

What is your opinion?
