Tackling Your Own Archaeological Dig

When we start digging into the memories stored in the subconscious, it becomes obvious that our challenges today have their roots in choices and decisions made previously. Some teachers feel that if you go straight to God, the memories, karma that is considered bad, will automatically be removed without your going through therapy sessions or deep introspection. This does happen in rare cases. One time I offered a workshop on the power of the Holy Spirit. Many people came up to me to be touched and their healing were obvious to them as well as observers. I remember two men who had come together and their comments. They said that it felt like they were being washed clean...the feeling that all hindrances and impurities had dropped instantly away was their personal experience. They were obviously ready.

It is important that we take personal responsibility in shaping the course of our lives and the condition of the world around us. We do effect every soul we encounter and in this way we are 'co creators' in the unfoldment of destiny. Today, there are many people studying subjects that will help with soul progression. It is one thing to know, and quite another thing to put into daily practice what we do know. This is why a good teacher will suggest that a seeker have his or her own ideal and live life doing everything possible to reach the ideal. People usually blame others for their problems. Not so, we inherit most that happens from ourselves. For those of you who live with challenging personalities, try minimizes their faults and magnifying their virtues.

For you to be able to access your personal hidden records, realize that you must be sensitive and that it is difficult to interpret the records. You would have to be in a detached state of mind, your body at peace and unified with all parts of what you refer to as your self. Using your will and asking a specific question can be successfully done under the right conditions. The information must come through form. The form could be a dream, a vision, an intuitive thought, looking at a scene or hearing something that stimulates the hidden. The records are everywhere and will manifest through your consciousness by means of the five senses. Pay attention to what you say, hear, think and write. Why do you want information? Be very clear when you ask for it. The odds are the answers will come in symbolic form and require interpretation. It is your subconscious that gives you the symbols required to bring the information to the surface in your mind. We are essentially archaeological digs. Persistence and pure intent will get you through the layers of the past and find their way to the surface.

Stop Creating Images of Others

A good example is the individual who sees himself as a great guru or teacher. He may see devotion and awe in those around him. This is his interpretation and not necessarily true. Another example is a person who is paranoid. He will find hostility and potential threats in people's actions and form images of them as menacing and aggressive. People generally interpret the actions and words of those around them according to their own self-image. We do this because other's actions and words have significance to us only to the extent that they effect us. I am speaking of people who are not yet balanced or full enlightened. This means they are primarily lower self-centered, not spirit or higher Self centered. They are only concerned about themselves. The average person is mostly interested in how others treat them. The image that they create of others is in reality a projection of them. What we relate to is the image we have created or clothed another in. Very interesting.

This process is a form of constantly reading other's minds. Anticipating what a spouse will request or certain looks on people's face may make you feel you really know what they are thinking. We are seeing images, not people, because we have created these images. How can we know another while we create images as barriers to knowing? Stop the insane process of creating images of others. The ideal is to allow the mystery of every person to unfold without anticipation and second guessing.
