There is no such thing as luck or chance. Every individual determines what happens to him. The gamblers have a mindset, the con artists have a mind set, good people or people who you would consider as bad people all have their own peculiar mindset that attracts to them what they feel is right for them. This will sound odd at first but it is true. If you have a mind set that it is not quite clear for some reason in the area of receiving money for the loving and careful work that you offer, then you have created an imbalanced mindset in this particular area of exchange. Imbalance occurs when the mindset falls to one side ignoring the needs of the other side. To have equal action and reaction in your life, you need to ask those who you comfort and help to also give to you.
What does this have to do with chance? There is no such thing as chance. If you do not value what you are offering in time and energy, you will not receive in equal measure. I know that I have been uncomfortable asking people to give in return to me what I generously offer to them freely from my heart. I admit that this is an area of service that has caused mixed feelings because I simply love to give. I feel it is the natural way to live. Finally, I realize that to be always giving and not expecting a return in the area of human survival needs such as putting food on the table is wrong. God works through people. When we offer a service and the receiver does not give back in one way or another, the receiver does not receive the full measure of the pure love and sacred energy that is sent his way whether it be through healing light, written or spoken words. They, too, must give in one form or another to receive the full benefit of a higher power at work.
This is a touchy subject for most of us who have compassionate hearts. When we focus strongly on spirituality, some of us neglect the practical obligations of every day life. It is necessary to clearly understand and offer service in balanced way. There are people who are willing to give generous sums of money for a workshop or a product that promises to bring some personal harmony or improvement into their lives. Usually, leaders who receive great sums of money are not genuine teachers or a living message of what they present. It is often the glamour of the presentations that pull in the followers. This will continue to hold true until enough souls awaken to what is pure intent, real knowledge and unconditional love. Something to think about if you have been allowing your selfless services to be taken for granted.

What Does It Mean Going Beyond the Barrier?
The barrier as I see it are the five senses and the personality. To go beyond the barrier, we begin to learn from our own higher Self, through observation and the developing awareness and connection with the Source. Instead of solely using the physical senses, our spiritual senses become activated. As an example, it is through the spiritual eardrum that we hear and are able to discern truth. Part of the awakening process is the growing strength of our intention. A change occurs when the intention to receive is turned around into an intention to give. I have mentioned this before as well as suggesting that some good souls go overboard and primarily give and in the process do not take time for receiving. This is the not the norm. It does happen and that is why I am repeating this possibility. The state of selfless giving happens when we are close to the point of the heart. It is like a slug asking a rose bush how it can give so much. The rose replies by mentioning the joy of the sun and the rain and the simple act of giving beauty for the sheer pleasure of it.
People have always wondered how to reconcile the concept of free will with the existence of a greater power...the Source, our Creator. Many scriptures mention that it is the Creator's singular desire for you and me to be fulfilled and made joyful.
This actually cannot happen in its fullness until we reach a similar state of mind. In other words, our desire to enjoy is equal to the Creator's desire to give enjoyment. It is a circular movement. We have to choose this state of mind because it feels good. We choose it of our own free will. No one or no organization is forcing us. It is not something we must do. The soul evolves and independently feels and acts from this inner understanding.
Most people act compulsively. Either we are guided by pleasure or pain. The attraction to enjoy pleasure and avoid pain is what controls humans, animals and even plant life. To be like the Creator, it is necessary to be completely neutral. To be like the Creator, we are required to go beyond the barriers of the senses, attain detachment (with compassion) and take control over the inner environment as well as the environment we live in.

To Receive-Discover the Force of Giving
A some of the material I am sharing with you is from the works of Rave Michael Laitman PhD put into my own words and experience. If you are interested in pursuing more than what I am offering in the days ahead, please check out his numerous books on the hidden wisdom of Kabbalah. A basic concept in Kabbalah is to understand that there is only a single force---the force of giving. But in order to receive that force, we must create something to receive what it gives. The giving force is the Creator and it is the creation or created being who receives. We discover the creator through receiving. But to be able to do this, we must understand the law that governs nature. Understanding the law of nature, which is God, will help us predict, change, disclose and reveal why certain things happen to us. I have discovered that through understanding nature, I can expand and know far beyond the boundaries of the five senses. Many of you are having the same beautiful experience.
Reception in Kabbalah is all about perceiving the spiritual world. Although it remains invisible to people who have not expanded their consciousness to a particular level of unfoldment, it is visible once they do. Everyone has a another sense within. Some call it the sixth sense. It really isn't a physical sense but it does open the door to perception to the Cosmos and our purpose in being. When we transcend the boundaries of the five senses and are able to perceive the spiritual worlds of light, what we perceive is shown or experienced through our intention. Many people refuse to study the Kabbalah because they feel it is too complicated. It really is simple once you know it. It explains that the Creator is benevolent and has the desire to give us endless, infinite pleasure. The Creator wants to give to us but the appearance world makes it very difficult to grasp the great significance behind the intention. Yes, we were created with a will to receive pleasure but somewhere along the line from experience and observation, we misconstrue this amazing thought of creation.
We do have the capability, potential and even unconscious desire to connect with the Creator and to receive goodness. In practice, the typical human is selfish. So, there is a gap in the way I see this process between the Giver and the receiver. There is a gap because it is more typical for a human to take, take and take. It becomes obvious that this immense problem of extreme egoism needs to be corrected. Our Creator desires to give to the creation but the creatures usually only want to receive.
Eventually, hundreds, thousands of years later, the will to receive evolves in creatures and they also magically discover the joy of giving. In giving, the creature become like the Creator. The children become like the parent(s). Once we really become immersed in the happiness of giving we become altruistic. We could conclude by saying that deep inside of us we would love to be a creator god, a Santa Clause, a giving being. There are also people who struggle trying to actually learn how to receive. What we are doing in human form is learning how to live on earth as a creator. Altruism is about being one with others, united with them. Gratefully, we are experiencing more of this amazing and expanding consciousness during the present earth cycle. Warning... Those of us who naturally give all the time, sometimes fall into a pattern where we do not allow ourselves to receive our good. Watch out for this possibility. Always honor your own stability and inherent right to receive. This is a must if we wish to remain balanced.

It is God's Good Pleasure to Give to You
Do you believe that it is God's good pleasure to give to you or do you feel unworthy?
When we change the way we look at things and genuinely try to reflect our higher Nature, we get it. What we get is that God is the real part of us and when we see that spark in others as well as in us, we can receive with an understanding and joyful heart.When we finally accept our own divinity, a healing begins to happen within and without. Healing merges the individual spirit, our eternal higher nature, with matter. The merging transforms the appearance through the conscious direction of the power of thought. I firmly believe the more stable and healthy we are in mind and body, the greater our ability to freely live and serve life.
Anyone playing the role of the transmitter of the One Power and One Presence must be in a state of balance to be truly effective. Some of you are called upon to help heal others. From longtime personal experience it is best that the human personality is forgotten during the treatment and the inner spirit identity remembered in both you and the client. Healing occurs when we are conscious of perfection and unconscious of the appearance of imperfection. In other words, I am suggesting that you not make imperfection the focus. See balance and beauty, strength and wholeness. See behind the appearance. When you focused on flaws, negative energy increases. Denial is not what I am suggesting~ Only see and feel beauty. There are grander possibilities. Focus on what you deserve or your client loved one or friend deserves and what you feel is good. If persistent and believing enough, the intelligence within the cells will eventually take you seriously and obey the thoughts sent by creating a new and balanced mold.
The divine within gives to us according to our light, understanding and love. When we trust and believe and allow, the perfection and good pleasure of the Divine manifests as physical and mental perfection. It also manifests as matter. See your self and others as joyful and complete. This is one way for you to give and make a difference. Although others may not resonate to your vision of them, the thoughts you are sending will not be wasted. One day, they will in gratitude accept the love you have offered, the same love that you accepted from the God within you.

Thought Transmissions
When you pray for good convince yourself that what your thoughts are focused on will manifest. Whatever the subconscious assumes will at some point in your journey materialize. Your beliefs and attitudes constantly mold your thoughts and behavior. None of this is new but it is wise to remind ourselves of this truth. There are many of us now who wish for a new world. Wishing won't make it so. We must change our idea of the world situation. We must see it and even talk to it in our mind as to how we envision it. If the world does not improve or we do not mature or gain balance, the cause lies within us. When we firmly believe in the state we affirm, results will follow. Everything can be transformed including us because mind is the builder.
When we seek change in ourselves, others, situations or the world itself, confidence is required on our part. If you are seeing another person healthy and balanced and that thought materializes, your job is done. It is then up to the other person to remain in the new energy or return to his former imbalance. Whatever state of mind that holds our attention determines our life. So, in many ways heaven can be called our subconsciousness. Whatever exists in that level of energy manifests as our reality.
Many of us have a giving consciousness. Another way of looking at giving is that we are really not giving to another. What we are doing is helping them resurrect the goodness that is already hidden within them. When we recognize a state it serves to awaken it. Consciousness is the one and only reality. Consciousness is modified by belief. All states of mind exist subjectively. Our choices awaken them, objectify them. Have you ever pondered the truth that what you think of another person and yourself is a result of your fixed ideas of that person or self? So, if you do not favor what you see in yourself or another or even the world, change your image of it. Success depends on you and not on the subject who you are focused on.
If another person does not accept your private thoughts about them, they will be rejected and return to you. Something to think about.

Honor Thy Self
There are obviously big changes happening all over the world. These changes will impact lives in ways unforeseen. What can you do? Begin by deciding there is something that you can do. I suggest that if you do not already love and honor your own being, start now. A movement has already begun towards simplicity, genuis, downsizing and reinventing ourselves. There is also a genuine growing interest in spirituality. Some people are actually leaving their jobs by choice and moving to rural areas.
To understand what honoring the Self means requires deliberate changes. Nine years ago, I left my day job, social life, gave up television and monitored telephone calls. After 18 years of offering motivational talks and healing opportunities to others, I decided to give back to my Self. I did this through choosing solitude, prayer, meditation, contemplation, research and listening more closely to the Intuitive Voice. In consciousness, I moved away from the appearance world of suffering, pain, lack, fear, separation and ignoring the rights of the inner Self. In other words, I chose to leave duality as it was and is and emerge myself in non duality and unity. As I understand purpose, our assignment is to firmly connect to the infinite eternal Self. Part of this process is to be a conscious spirit intelligence who is attentive, open and exercises critical thinking. In other words, not parrot or mimic others. Instead, use the higher part of the mind, discern and see clearly.
Self awareness demands that we are grateful and appreciative of all the good that we have. It is the genuine sense of a thankful humility that assists in our self awareness and healing. I spent hours each day walking along the riverfront communicating with the wild life , water and trees. When we allow ourselves to observe, communicate and feel the rhythm of the natural life, we are at peace. In choosing to step off the world for a specific time period, I found solitude and oneness with all life. Like most women and parents, I had a long history of giving to others. It was time to give back to who I really am.
