Lesson 2 – You are always connected, the question is to WHAT?

I once heard someone say that we are the average of the five people that we spend the most time with. I also remembered my mother telling me when I was a kid, “Dime con quien andas, y te dire quien tu eres”. But relax, I am just sharing these two propositions with the intention to get your attention because I believe that what I am about to share has the potential to radically change the direction of your life!

If you take any creek or river and block the flow of water running through it, it will only be a matter of time before it will become stagnate and eventually it will dry out. Or you could dig a trench and connect it to another source of water. Like a sewer line and although it will continue to flow, the quality of the water would be directly affected by what is connected to it.

Pretty much this is the same thing that I am referring to when I previously wrote, “You need to understand that we live in a world in which we are constantly bombarded by information that DOES NOT support our true potential, so it is extremely important to develop a simple approach to life that supports us being connected and moving in the direction we want 24/7.” 

This statement is not about making judgements or putting anyone down. This is about being able to do something with what you know, otherwise, what’s the point of knowing? “Energy flows where attention goes.” For years I have been telling people that within this simple quote, is the secret to revealing the awareness required to directly alter the quality of our lives! This simple statement alone, that easily describes the teachings of great minds, like the carpenter of Galilee, if understood correctly, can be used strategically to get rid of diseases, economic depression and many, if not all, of the issues we currently face in our society.

But first we must recognize that there is an order to everything and that we must follow this order when attempting to get different results. The first step is to come in terms with the realization that our lives are truly a reflection of what lays within the roots of our consciousness. This is extremely important because we can pause briefly and recognize that we are not the current conditions and therefore, we must focus our attention and get emotionally connected to the real truth! In another words, the challenges or conditions in our lives are essential because they give us an opportunity to reconnect and change from the inside out! How else can we ever know what’s hidden within our subconscious mind? (As you can see this is not a bad thing and changing your perception about it, can only benefit you.)

Now the BIG question is… how do we re-direct without paying attention to what is directing? Before I give you the answer I recommend that you give a good amount of attention to analyze this question, and I strongly suggest that you follow through with at least one action, once you finish reading this article. Reading this information at least once daily for some time, will definitely help you to reveal greater understanding of it.

1. You learn how to train your mind to only entertain and use the information that supports your understanding that everything is possible when the law of mind is applied correctly. Whenever you become aware that you are doing the opposite, you simply let it go and reconnect! Remember what I wrote in Lesson 1 – We are all uniquely different, so no one knows what it will take for you to develop this mental pattern, but I can tell you that it only takes 21 consecutive days for your brain to develop a new neuro pathway. So get going!

2. You allow and release your natural feeling of JOY to be the determining factor in all your affairs and make a commitment to only do the things that bring JOY into your life. And even when you are participating in things that don’t make you feel joy, but you obviously believe you must do them anyway, consciously chose to be joyful about the fact that you are aware of it! Eventually something will unfold and you will no longer be able to do it or the condition will naturally change!

3. You consciously pay attention to your relationship with the Source of Life within you and use your beliefs to direct this intelligence within you to give form to your reality. I know that’s a mouth full. Let me say it differently. Regardless of your conscious or unconscious beliefs about a power greater than yourself, it is accurate to say that we all can agree that there is an intelligence within all life, this includes you, wanting to continue to move towards more life. For example, when a person gets a cut or weeds growing in the wild – life is moving towards a certain direction, whether you and I want it to or not. Can you agree to that? Good! The difference here is that it recognizes when you are congruent and it responds toward the direction you give it, rather than letting it move in any other direction. (Be aware that sometimes it may not look like what you have in mind, but it always responds because it is impersonal; that’s the law.)

I know what you may be thinking… it’s the same thing people have been asking me for a long time, “If it is so simple, why are so many people suffering and struggling with their lives?” This is what I have noticed… people are constantly presented with information that is NOT accurate. This information is only the interpretations of many past generations and because people don’t use their birth right to self discover, part of their  brain (The Deletion Filters) plays tricks on them by only allowing information into their awareness that supports what they believe. Consequently they continue to give form to life with the same mold. Some people may call this denial, some others may call it convenience. I have studied this for many years and I rather called it IGNORANCIA.

The results are that we are surrounded by a society in which drama, disease and lack is  used to attract people who have become accustomed to fear. Some that have some knowledge, used as power to keep others under their control. Most movies, TV, music and even peoples conversations are supported by the desire to be part of the majority, even at the high price of giving away your birth rights! I normally don’t write about negativity, but sometimes we need to put things into perspective.The good news is that you are always connected, the question is to WHAT?

Lesson 1 – You Are Uniquely Different

Do you really understand what it means that we are all uniquely different? Have you ever considered how complex you are and to recognize your relationship with life? Do you take time daily to analyze that in one way or another everything has a direct impact on the quality of your experiences? I have been on this journey for over 22 years, and I can honestly tell you that not once have I worked with two different people that react the same way. Neither could I imagine anyone suggesting that taking a cookie cutter approach to overcome anyone’s challenges, regardless of how small you think they may be, could possibly be the best way to do it. But I can tell you one thing. The human potential is by far the most advanced and sophisticated force in the Universe and when certain things fall into place, the transformation happens quicker than what most people have been led to believe.

When talking with people, whether they are clients or not, I am always interested in the congruency between what they believe and how it manifests in their lives. Based on my experience people don’t often think about this correlation, unless they are confronted with some type of challenge. And even then, the deletion filters in our conscious mind play a trick on us, by leading us only to see those things that support what we want to believe as being the truth at that particular moment. It is so much easier for somebody else to see our mental patterns and habits because they are not emotionally, and in many cases, unconsciously connected to them. The question that often comes up is, “Why should I believe what somebody else is telling me, if they are doing the same thing that I am doing?” And I think this is a valid question and that’s why I recommend that everyone seriously consider who they are getting advice from. In another words, I don’t ask my plastic surgeon neighbor how to deal with my self esteem issues because I may end up with a nose job! Get my point?

I also noticed that most people don’t grasp the depth of their existence. How things like the food they eat or how much sleep they get every night, makes a significant impact in their ability to think clearly. Quite often I have witnessed a tremendous difference in people’s lives just by tweaking their diets and/or making some changes in their schedules. Now imagine how surprised they look when I start asking questions about their surroundings. How cold is it where you live? How much sunlight are you exposed to? Or how much nature (or lack of) is around you? There is no secret as to why more people experience depression in cities like Seattle, Washington. This is all part of your uniqueness, and I am only scratching the surface of the many layers when it comes to what’s unique about you and the things that play a role in your ability to deal with life challenges and consequently, your ability to alter the quality of your day to day experiences.

Now lets move into what James Allen in his book, ‘As a Man Thinketh’, refers to when he said, “All that man achieves and that he fails to achieve is the direct results of his own thoughts. His condition is his own, and not another mans. His suffering and his happiness are evolved from within. As he thinks, so he is; as he continues to think, so he remains.” Although I wish Mr. Allen would have used female adjectives through his writing, I do admire the insights he shares. Or maybe he just recognized women as being more intelligent that men and didn’t think it all applied to them as well. LOL!

Anyway, second by second we are reacting or responding to our experiences in a way that either helps us build the life we desire or the nightmare we fear. I know it’s not easy, but neither is it to waste our days away. And it is not like it gets easier with time, if anything, it gets even harder. The truth is that everyone of us react uniquely different to the feelings, ideas, and the consequences of our actions. All of these things require examination before making significant progress. When dealing with clients I have to really spend time with them to get an idea of how aware they are, and most importantly, how willing they are to recognize their unique relationship with life.

I also know by my own experience that it is never fun to hear people say things like, “Your outer world, is a reflection of what’s going on inside you”, specially if you are dealing with some serious challenges. But you can change your perception and get excited because if it wasn’t for these life challenges, we would all be living in the dark. This is part of life and what makes us grow and evolve to the level that we are willing to take on. It’s one thing to say “I know” and quite another to do something with what you know!

You Have A Choice!

Good for you! You just made a choice to open your self to learning something new or be reminded of something you already know. Regardless, the point is that you are making choices all the time. Now imagine being able to make the right choices most of those times…  Although wrong choices are here just to let you know that you are going away from your path, they are not FUN! Wouldn’t you agree? I personally feel that I have made too many of those choices in this life, and I am done with them. I no longer believe in contrast, I am into consistency these days!

My guess is that you are probably thinking that you already know you have a choice, so what is my point. First lets bring some understanding into this dynamic exchange of energy that we are having. Knowing something doesn’t mean that you understand it and it definitely doesn’t mean you can use it to get the results you want. If you don’t believe me, just pay a great deal of attention to how many times people say, “I know that”, or ‘I heard that before”, but in the next breath or action they show you that they don’t know it, otherwise they would be making a different choice. So knowing is being able to apply it into your life and get the results you want!

Now, back to knowing that you have choices. Let me give you an example, that sometimes works better for me. Imagine that you sitting next to the Dali Lama in a very loud concert. He has some amazing things to say, but you cannot hear what he is saying. That is pretty much what happens when your inner voice, full of wisdom and intuition, is waiting for you to be silent, but since you are making a choice to continue to think and think, you missed your one to one appointment with the Infinite within YOU. But I am going to make the assumption that if you are reading my blog it is because you have a higher level of awareness than most people and you make the conscious choice to quiet your mind every day like I do.

Let’s continue with the same example since the first time it worked so good or at least it did for me, LOL. The music at the concert stopped for the intermission and you got to listen to the Dali Lama for a little while, and of course he gave you some powerful insights. But once the music started you began to listen to it, perhaps you justified having a beer or a glass of wine. Wait, what I am saying? You are reading my blog, so you would NEVER put mind altering drugs into your body temple. I am so sorry, I thought I was writing to another group of brothers and sisters. My apology. Where were we? I know, after listening to the Dali Lama, you started listening to the music and thinking about past memories or perhaps you slipped into an old mind habit of predicting the future, and all of a sudden, what seemed so powerfully insightful, escaped your mind. Oops! The point is that we have to make conscious choices to stop the noise from the outside world, but we also have to develop a discipline to stay connected and take immediate actions, otherwise, well, you know what happens.

Let me finish by adding this final point. The human mind is just a tool by which we co-create our reality. Quickly I want to underline OUR REALITY, because in that statement lies one of the most transcending understanding of human kind. We are co-creators in the Creative Process of Consciousnes and therefore that is why we can CHANGE our reality and the world by making Conscious Choices together. I know that was a mouth full; just take a few minutes and reflect on what that means to your life right now. What can you take responsibility for and make a conscious choice to change right now in your life because you have the power to do it ? Good, I am happy for you!

This is the key, it becomes a conscious choice when we have the ability to MASTER the mental faculties within our unlimited powers. So whatever it takes in your individual case, is what it takes, but you MUST do it! My advice is that you don’t compare yourself with anybody else. Most of the beliefs that are co-creating your reality come from your unconscious mind and only you can change them. We are ALL different in our humanity and for that reason, your journey has different choices than anybody else. The gift is that inherent within your human potential is the Power to CHOOSE and CHANGE!  If you don’t, you are still making a choice, but it is probably not the one you want!

Lets stay connected and support each other in making the choices that co-create the reality for One Love, One Wealth, One World!

“You Must Be The Change You Wish To See in The World”

I often contemplate this quote by Gandhi whenever my mind wants to go into judgement. As I meditate, expand my mind and embrace all the love and abundance that is around me regularly, I am present it with the realization that in order to receive greater level of awareness, I have to bring truth to the things that I don’t like in me and immerse in an environment that represents only the good in everything.

I understand that I have mental faculties that allow me to choose what I think, feel, and the actions I take about any given experience and therefore I have to take responsibility first for the results that are going on with me. I also have learned to accept that there is a Universal process in which changes require an inner transformation, and I enthusiastically open my self to become the new me that can handle such demands. Even though I have made many mistakes while playing this game I call life, I am always humble because no matter how much I have grown, I am just scratching the surface of my human potential; you can’t miss, what you have never experience.

I appreciate the opportunity to utilize this services and your interest on receiving my sincere gift. If anything, it’s my intention to share with you that changes begin within our self first. If you find yourself judging, just forgive yourself, understand that is an ego trick to keep you trap in this illusion, and quickly get connected with Truth.

The Game of Life!

Imagine yourself playing a video game in which you have to experience certain things in order to reveal greater awareness to get to the next level. As you go on in the game, you learn that when you have certain experiences, you gain more energy and there are other experiences that make you weaker, therefore you remain at the same level, sometimes you may even fall into lower levels. You choose to be enthusiastic about the game because you are always learning, even the things you don’t want to experience teach you that you are moving away from where you want to be. As you play the game, you take some time in between to calm the mind.

Consequently you develop an understanding of what are the experiences that make you stronger and receive greater awareness, and you move away from the ones that take away your energy and with it the ability to see things clearly. Since you understand that it’s only a game, you place all your attention into having fun. Once you get to a certain level, you realize that by assisting others to experience greater levels, you gain double the energy and the awareness that comes with it. So you find yourself creating a balance between experiencing greater levels and assisting others as well. Finally you reach a level in which you understand that the experiences you are having, you are the one creating them and that by assisting others to increase their awareness, is the only way to create greater ones for yourself.

Although this game has Infinite levels, there is ONE thing that was, is and will forever remain the same. Since everything is energy, You, Others, the EXPERIENCES and everything included in the game, are ONE with WHAT created the game. Maybe the purpose of life is to play and have fun, no matter what you are experiencing. Maybe that is the key that opens the door to discovering your purpose in life. If you knew without a doubt that you are part of THAT which is INFINITE CREATION and therefore, by definition, you inherit within yourself everything you need to create your life to be exactly they way you want it to be… would you be playing and having fun right now?

If you have any other answer than YES, quickly get connected with whatever you believe is your higher power or reach out to people that are having fun living consciously, before you forget how to play completely. Please don’t talk yourself out of reaching out, remember, we are having fun, because we KNOW that in order to continue playing the game, we are here to assist YOU.
