What Type of Programmer Are You?

Through the power of thought, you have actively programmed every single person, thing and event into your life. Perhaps, you are thinking that this is total nonsense. Human beings for the most part are unconscious mortal creators. Since you already create both consciously and unconsciously, why not change a pattern that is not working? You can reconstruct your experiences. If this principle is understood and applied, you can change everything in life that displeases simply by changing your thinking. You also must be realistic and understand that you are changing your self. You are the project, not someone else. Usually when we change, those around us eventually make a shift. It may take a while but it will happen and surprises usually are a part of the change.

First, you have to be convinced you have a higher Nature who actually will correct and direct your life if you give it permission. The more you allow the better part of your nature to take control, the greater the rescue mission. You are actually creating a rescue pattern removing the negative energy that is collected from misdirected thinking and the dangerous energy of others. One of the first changes required is to stop separating the physical plane from the spiritual plane. You are a multifaceted being that is unconsciously seeking to merge its parts into wholeness.
It is your destiny to become a balanced human being and accomplish works of magic and wonder.

Everything that comes to you on the path of life comes for a reason. You can deliberately step out of misery. It is not inevitable nor does confusion need to be the dominant note in your life. There is an urgency being felt by sensitive humans, which is telling us change is on the way. What is needed right now is a new humanity, a brave and bold humanity who will choose to develop an inner thought power whereby we become conscious of our unity with life. No one can give us freedom. No one can transform our consciousness. We are the programmers who must do the "work" and take the necessary steps to free ourselves from falsity and unkindness. This is our assignment...to be conscious. The future is determined by the choices made. Waiting for someone else to do your assignment isn't the answer. To succeed in conscious programming, touch the center of your being, the inner goodness. You already have what it takes to draw out from the heart a lost inheritance. Look at it, love it and live it~

Our Mental Tool Box

There is an effective mental tool that will help create a powerful healing. It is the tool of detachment. I know this is much easier to say and write about then actually do. It is well worth the effort to develop detachment and have it handy in your tool kit of self-help. When we learn detachment, it is much easier to heal ourselves and help others to heal. I am not insinuating that you put on armour and shield yourself against the feeling nature. The type of detachment I am suggesting is a form of compassion and understanding. If it is a serious personal issue, hiding behind armour won't work for the long run. You may have convinced yourself that you are not wounded but, the wound will fester in the subconscious part of the mind until a future moment when you are ready to face what happened. You may at a future time react passionately to an experience not having a clue as to why it is upsetting you so much. The current experience is tapping into the long ago pain that was not acknowledged and healed.

What is meant by detachment from my point of understanding is to get the personality out of the way and deliberate force your self to view the situation from a higher perspective. To be successful, we must be still. To be still is to be in a peaceful state of mind that understands a higher power is capable of coming into the drama and bringing the necessary ingredients so all involved are healed. It is vital that we understand and learn to detach from the influence of negative emotions. Yes, I have mentioned that our emotions serve us in myriad ways, but they can also hinder our goals when we become so embroiled in their influence that we can no longer be objective. This is why I strongly suggest that the personality get out of the way and the situation be analyzed and felt on a detached level that transcends mortal thinking and feeling.

Negative emotions can stagnate the soul. They can influence, twist and even block any movement forward. I know as a fact that we frequently store away in our memory box events and people that are too upsetting to take out and look at. Eventually, we look at them and let go. Damage control is stepping out of our own "story" every once in awhile. The dramas of life are often created to force us to look at the old chapters in our personal book and rewrite them. The damage is conditioning, false judgments and belief systems that work against inner peace. We have written volumes. A good thorough editing is required every once in a while to help us restore balance. Believe it or not, on some level of your being you have chosen an environment and family that will force you to take charge of your own emotional and mental nature.

I am actually stating two views both of which are necessary. One, is to allow ourselves to feel when a horrific event occurs. Sometimes our position in life does not allow this. Or...we judge at that moment that it is beneath our stature to reveal our inner pain. Two, do our best to understand ugliness at a higher level, the level of the spirit. Denial will work up to a point. Eventually, the explosion will surface. We are feeling creatures. Truth whether hidden or revealed forces us to look at our wounds, forgive and smile.

To Be or Not to Be

Yesterday I was thinking about the meaning of Hamlet's famous statement. Hamlet's inability to act came from the deepest of personal conflicts. On the surface, it appears as if he is trying to decide between suicide or murder. Things were not going his way. Another way to define Hamlet's emotions was to ask himself... to live or not live. He was discussing with himself the possibility of suicide. Hamlet was concerned with the after life and having to face consequences of his actions. During that period of church history, there was a great deal of fear surrounding the subject of suicide.

The question is...should Hamlet accept what has happened to him and not do anything and just BE? He is thinking over unfinished business and reasons to live and after much thought he decides to live. He went through a great personal dilemma. Perhaps, TO BE, is the taking charge of the purpose in our life and giving it our all. Not to BE is the way of a coward. As the play continued, Hamlet's feelings shift to the 'TO BE' category, the hero who fulfills his life's purpose. Later he dies.

Those of you who have read my last book, 'Be-Embracing the Mystery' know the special story behind the title. The manuscript was finished but I was having some difficulty in deciding on a title. As I was sitting alone in my bedroom, a booming Voice said one word...BE. Of course, what a perfect title! I added the 'Embracing the Mystery' to the name. When I called a good friend about the 'Voice' experience, she asked me if I had ever heard the sound track from the movie, Jonathon Living Seagull, created in 1973 and sung by Neil Diamond. I had not. She immediately ordered a copy of the CD. It's theme is BE. Neil sings about the 'painted sky where the clouds are hung for the poet's eye where you may find Him. BE as a page and an extra word that speaks on a theme that is timeless---' I cried tears of joy listening to that amazing soundtrack. Neil Diamond understands.

As that was going on, I came across a poem that I had written about five years ago called BE. I had totally forgotten about the poem. It is very brief and is included in the front of my book.

BE

What needs to heal is a sense of separation
Suffering ceases with acceptance of Self
To be is to know Self as all life, regardless of form
To understand is to be one with It
To be one is to be
Truth is simple
This is the Key, the Way and the Word
S.H.

During the last five weeks I have been very active on Face Book. Many good Muslim friends have come into my life. As a result of the new friendships, I located a book that has been collecting dust on the shelf. The book is called 'The Essential Rumi.' To my surprise, Rumi writes about the word BE in one of his poems. I will only share one of the verses: 'Creation was spoken with one sound, BE. The two letters, B and E, to record it,came after. The meaning of the sound and its resonance are one. There's no way to ever say this, in so many words! And no place to stop saying it."

To be or not to be is our choice. Why not be the grandest version of who we really are?

Remembering His Teachings~

Scripture states that it is God's good pleasure to give to us. To fully receive, we must understand who we are and why we are. We desire happiness and in clear moments we desire to be perfect. The Apostle Paul in his statement, "Christ lives in me" was referring to the perfect Christ Mind. To receive, we need to cease being a crippled version of our higher Self. Bondage is not God-ordained. Spiritual ignorance causes suffering. The way we believe sets the limit to our demonstration of a Christ Mind.

Train your self to totally believe in the inner wisdom power and use it. Begin by changing your objective self and conditions. When you accept that your mind is a point in God Consciousness, God's good pleasure becomes your reality. Allow God awareness to flow through and bless you. Think of it. Believe and trust it. Allow the power to expand as your mind through both feeling and mental awareness.


The closer you are in reaching Christ consciousness and grasping the beautiful truths Jesus tried to share, the more intensely you live in an ongoing state of harmony both within and without. True Knowledge is received through direct connection with the higher vibratory energies of thought. If a conviction is absent, it means knowledge is incomplete. If you have not as yet fallen in love with the Divine, ask for the blessing to happen to you. Be filled with courage and live your truth, taste it and practice it until it becomes an integral part of your consciousness. When we walk the talk, we grasp the immensity of Jesus love for humanity and Easter is a personal time of victory~ Have a loving and joy filled weekend.

Increasing Mind Power

There are many practical steps that can be taken to increase the power of the conscious mind. As an example, the following suggestion is effective regardless of physical age. It is well worth your while to organize mental powers. To increase the power of concentration, learn to train the mind. No one wishes to experience dementia. It is very difficult to be vigilant and have discernment to any high degree if the mind wanders or forgets. Beginning with five minutes in the morning is the best time of day for a concentration exercise because your body is more likely to be tension free after a good night's sleep. Close your eyes and focus on something beautiful or sacred. The training is more effective imagining a form such as a stream of water, a flower, a butterfly or bird. Use an image that represents aliveness. a flame, or the calmness of the sea, billowing clouds, or a green meadow also provides the expansiveness and freedom that the inner self desires.

In the beginning, imagining helps with concentration. Later in your pursuit of disciplining the mind and hopefully being conscious of the subtle worlds of light and sound, the images will be offered to you from a higher Source than the thinking part of your mind. Going back to the images you deliberately create, use an image that is significant to you. Make it large and real. See it about two feet away from your body. Be gentle, patient and use moderation. Evaluate the image. For instance, if you have a favorite bird such as a swan imagine it gliding with its partner ducking down deep into the water looking for food. I recommend you use the same image every day until it becomes real and lasting. It will take repeated attempts and regularity to establish a rhythm. The image becomes a place of refuge but it also trains your thinking mind to focus for longer periods of time on an idea that offers peace, expansion and beauty.

When I first began my mind training, I would stare at a blank wall. Sitting quietly for long periods of time Universal symbols of Light Energy would appear providing a tool for prophesy, hidden knowledge and investigation. Later on, I discovered that staring at a blank wall was a meditative technique used in China. To keep the mind focused requires discipline and is an ancient practice exercised in cultures on the far side of the world. The Greeks also developed mind exercises for improvement purposes and memory perfection. Pythagoras taught perfection through release of all the potential powers of the higher part of the Self. If physical exercise benefits the body, it makes sense that the mind will also benefit through regular and focused disciplines. A discipline that increases control over wandering thoughts will carry over into every day situations when you are being challenged. You will automatically center your thoughts.It is a tool that benefits the expansion of your consciousness.

Choosing a Script

For ages we have been and still are writing our inner scripts. They are a mix of emotions that either work for or against us. When we finally understand that there are multiple parts to what is called our identity, greater choices for good can be made. Each part has a script of attitudes and beliefs. When someone triggers an old part of us that is negative, we move back in time to a conditioned part of the mind that is dual in its nature. In other words, we tap into an emotional experience from the past. We can move backward, choose to change the reaction and move forward to a non dual place of light and freedom. There is a technique that has been available for at least twenty years called tapping your meridians. Using the Emotional Freedom Technique, we can actually with repetition and pure intention remove the old hindrances from our subconscious. You can check on this for yourself at http://www.EFT.com, Some people like to feel that they can do something physical to help their pain besides the power of prayer or running to a practitioner. The tapping works because the meridians are stimulated. A statement of truth is said simultaneously with the tapping.

The goal is to be stabilized in our emotions and shift to the higher part of the mind and discover a different set of attitudes and beliefs that reflect our true spiritual identity. If we continue to believe in the old scripts, we are held there playing out the old roles. The goal, in my opinion, is to be consciously aware at all times as to whether we are reliving a part of the past or activating a higher awareness that will serve the purpose of our inner Self. Emotional energy defines consciousness. The point of perception from which you view it creates reality. In every moment, we have a choice as to whether we live in duality or a higher field that is not so strongly polarized. We can lessen the effects of duality, polarization, by removing the old scripts that work against our goals. I call this a real healing...the ability to relocate into the higher part of the mind and identify with the inner wisdom where we may be conscious of our spiritual identity and power.

We are the doorway to the mind and body temple. Constantly monitor thoughts. Do not allow false thoughts or unenlightened souls to interfere with your heightened sense of what is and what is not. God is love. You can prove it through your own consciousness. It is time more of us accept this great truth as our reality. One by one we awaken. In our awakening, we help others to do likewise. This is a powerful way to save ourselves and all life, including our precious planet.
