<h1 style="font-size: 2em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> You Have A Choice!</strong></span></h1>
<p>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&#8230;  Although wrong choices are here just to let you know that you are going away from your path, they are not FUN! Wouldn&#8217;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!</p>
<p>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&#8217;t mean that you understand it and it definitely doesn&#8217;t mean you can use it to get the results you want. If you don&#8217;t believe me, just pay a great deal of attention to how many times people say, &#8220;I know that&#8221;, or &#8216;I heard that before&#8221;, but in the next breath or action they show you that they don&#8217;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!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Let&#8217;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.</p>
<p>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!</p>
<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;t, you are still making a choice, but it is probably not the one you want!</p>
<p>Lets stay connected and support each other in making the choices that co-create the reality for One Love, One Wealth, One World!</p>

<h1 style="font-size: 1.5em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> &#8220;You Must Be The Change You Wish To See in The World&#8221;<br />
</strong></span></h1>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">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&#8217;t like in me and immerse in an environment that represents only the good in everything.</span></em></strong></p>
<p> 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&#8217;t miss, what you have never experience.</p>
<p> I appreciate the opportunity to utilize this services and your interest on receiving my sincere gift. If anything, it&#8217;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.</strong></span><strong> </strong></p>

<h1 style="font-size: 1.5em;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0px;"><strong> The Game of Life!<br />
</strong></span></h1>
<p><strong><em><span style="font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">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.</span></em></strong></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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&#8230; would you be playing and having fun right now?</p>
<p>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.</strong><strong> </strong></p>
