Your Life is a Buffet Table

Your life is a blank white canvas.  Life offers a buffet table of infinite choices.  You and everyone choose from the smorgasbord of life through your focus.  What you focus on creates a reaction in you called a feeling.  In return, you attract that which is a vibrational match to the object of your focus – consciously or unconsciously.

Once you decide, let go and proceed with your life as if your desire is a done deal taking inspired action steps along the way, life delivers.

The process can be that simple.

However, it is not always that easy.  What can make life unsettling are your fears, emotional wounds and those who wish to manipulate your attention and choices toward something that suits them rather than suits your intentions.  That is what politics, the media, commercials and advertising are all about.  Some people, corporations and organizations have similar agendas as your choices and some do not.  It is your responsibility to distinguish the difference and choose wisely.  The choice may be as unique as you are unless you like to follow the pack or simply don’t care.

Life is a journey and a process – not a destination.  I always disliked that saying until I understood its true meaning.  I have learned that when we enjoy the journey, we feel so much better rather than putting off the feeling of joy until the proverbial “it” happens.  Food choices are a perfect example.  There are thousands of tempting ads and foods available everywhere you go.  Do you stay the course of your health and wellness goals otherwise known as “it”, or do you focus on how great that very unhealthy food will taste right now helping to shove down your stress rather than deal with it?

Where do you put your focus?  It helps to consciously choose your priorities and values otherwise they will run you behind the scenes.  Food plays a very important role in your ability to control your focus.  If you don’t believe me, watch my video entitled “ADHD – Healing the Myth.”

When you own your focus, you guide your thoughts and feelings.  You are the decider in your life.  If you think you are not, then you have given your power away.  Free will is your birthright.  It is God’s good pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Who said that….? 

In truth, from a higher perspective it is all God which means it is all Love.  It all just vibrates at different frequencies.  Therefore through your focus and feelings, you need to invite in the frequencies of your highest aspirations rather than your fears– if that is what you choose.  I also know that is not always an easy thing to do in our current fear-based world.

Thought precedes feeling.  Emotion births out of feeling.  The feeling is the vibration or prayer you speak to the Universe/God.  Action or inaction springs from thoughts, feelings and emotions.

You cannot control everything or other people.  However, you can control your focus and attention – with practice.  Remember my previous article about the Cherokee Legend of the Two Wolves?  The one you feed “wins”.

Athletes have a coach because they want to win.  Do you need a coach to help you win the most important game you have going – your life?

Whether you seek help from a book, a CD, a person or a program, know that help is always available.  Be a star in your own life and own your power to choose what your heart desires rather than let life happen to you.  You are a spark of God’s greatness.  When you are happy, God is happy.  Take that with you on your next trip to the buffet table of your life!

Heaven is a Feeling

This reality is a temporary illusion.  What you think about what is happening now; what you feel about what is happening now; and how you respond or react to what is happening in this temporary moment in time determines to a large degree how it will turn out and unfold.

Everything is energy.  Everything and everyone is energy.  Everyone and everything has a frequency.  You “tune into” the frequency of your choice.

If you are fooled by the temporary illusion or person vying for your attention, you can choose to react negatively which will invite similar energy to respond right back at you.  If you choose the higher road or higher feeling, you tune into a higher vibration allowing God, Angels and goodness to flow to you and the situation.  I believe this is what Jesus meant by “turning the other cheek.”

Turning the other cheek is for you – not to provide an opportunity for the other person to attack again.  It means choosing a higher response so lower vibrations are no longer able to elicit the reaction from you they are seeking and thereby drag you down to their level of vibration.  It also gives them an opportunity to choose a higher road and vibration.

For example, if someone tries to bully you and you ignore them, it takes the fun out of it for them.  They will either try different tactics to grab your attention and energy, move on to someone else who will react to their M.O., or perhaps choose love instead.  I am not suggesting this is always an easy thing to do.  I am saying, however, it is well worth your effort if your heart or gut guides you to do so.

There is always a peaceful solution to conflict once we realize we all just have different points of view.

As Rodney King said so beautifully, “Why can’t we all just get along?”

“You have your way. I have my way.  As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

“The surest way to corrupt a youth is to instruct him to hold in higher esteem those who think alike than those who think differently.” - Friedrich Nietzsche

“All things are subject to interpretation; whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

“We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.” – Albert Einstein

I listed those quotes because everyone has beliefs that are usually influenced by collective beliefs which are set by the media and current-day spin-doctors.  The real power lies with God and our connection to God.  What we focus on creates more of what we focus upon.

In a vibrational universe, the feeling is the prayer to which God responds.  The more consistent vibration “wins.”  We have been living in a fear-based society since 911.  I believe the prophecies of 2012 offer us each a new beginning toward the choice for love and forgiveness.  Jesus taught that forgiveness is the road to heaven.  Heaven is an inside job.

Create heaven on the inside, and you will bring it into your life and project it onto the world and those in the world.  It happens one person at a time.  To live in fear or unforgiveness is hell on Earth.  Those in fear are more easily manipulated. 

Heaven is a feeling.  Will you choose heaven?  How does that feel to you?

In God We Trust?

In a meditation this week during all the strife in the Middle East, an awareness came to me.  Could all the religious and spiritual strife come down to the fundamental fear of separation from God who is the Source of life and all that exists?

If every individual remembered that God is inside each and every one of us as well as in animals and all of nature, we would all remember that not only are we not separate from God, but that we are all One with God.  No one and no thing – no religious teaching, person, government or video – nothing can sever this fundamental truth.

As long as an individual or group feels they are not connected directly to God simply because they exist rather than only through a middle person or object, people will fight for the right to stay connected to that which represents the God connection to them.  In the final analysis, it is all just a viewpoint.

It seems ironic and tragic to me that wars are waged in the name of God.  This has been true since time began by most religious sects.  The Romans went after the Christians; in the name of Christ many waged wars and campaigns to convert indigenous people and others; the Middle East and all its many faiths have been at it since Biblical times.

This kind of thinking creates hell on Earth.  Jesus said, “It is the Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom.”

The kingdom, my friends, is inside each and every one of us – not only in the hereafter.  God is in each and every one of us right now and always will be regardless of what religion, faith or lack of faith one is guided to or born into.  One faith is not better than another.  They are just different.  All roads lead to God.

The civil rights movement grew out of separation, segregation and oppression as did the end to apartheid; Gandhi’s movement to free India; women’s right to vote; and so on.  People had finally had enough of others’ perceptions that we are not all connected to that which created us all.  Mass consciousness finally became healed enough to embrace these changes.

As Rodney King said even after his brutal beating by police officers, “Why can’t we all just get along?”

Whether the motivation to suppress, manipulate, ridicule or exploit an individual or group comes from fear, greed or the desire to control the masses or bottom lines, I believe the underlying cause is the fear of separation from God – the source of all.

Take some time each day to communicate with the essence of God inside of you.  Breathe, listen and feel what comes up for you.  If it feels loving, it comes from God.  If it doesn’t feel loving, it comes from fear.  Breathe through the negativity and release it to God to whom you are always connected in Love.  Seek outside support if you feel you need it.

We are all One because God is in each and every one of us, animals, all of nature, the planet and the entire Universe.  Whether you believe in the big bang, the Word or something else, it’s all God.

An MIT professor told me years ago that many in the scientific community are turning to God as they learn more.  Many things happen in modern science that defies traditional scientific beliefs.  Some of them now call it magic.  In Jesus’ day such things were called miracles.  Whatever term you use, it’s still all God.

Be well.  Be joyful.  Be grateful.  Stay centered in belief knowing you are always connected to God – the source of all that is magically miraculous.  Do this for yourself and share it with those around you.  Smile at those you encounter because the feeling is the prayer and smiles are contagious.  Let’s all create a ripple effect of love and peace knowing we are all safely connected to God.

Enjoy infinite blessings.

What wave length are you tuned in to?

In this realm of duality, we are taught that everything outside of us is not us and not within our power to change.  This is true, and it’s also not true.  This is Earth school.  Our Souls came here to grow and expand in awareness and Love – not just for ourselves but also for the collective good of all including the Earth.  Your perception rules your points of view and your points of view rule your perception.  Change the belief (point of view) and you see (perceive) things differently which opens your eyes to new possibilities.

After creation, God declared everything good.  Nature/God desires balance in all creation – body, mind and spirit.  So that which happens in your life that doesn’t feel good may be happening FOR you to show you where you are not yet beyond a limitation and are out of balance with the good God wishes for you.  The experience may be trying to show you a limiting belief or point of view that you are projecting onto yourself, someone else, your life and/or world view.

What if you remembered the true power is God and that God flows through you and each and every person, animal and living thing in this Universe?  What if you started to focus on what you want for your life rather than what you don’t want?

Let me give you an example.  Money is a big issue for almost everyone.  You may have limiting beliefs that money doesn’t grow on trees; you don’t have enough; you don’t have the right skills for the high paying jobs right now; there’s too much competition; the economy is the problem; “they” control all the money; you’re not part of the 1%; whatever.  What will happen is that you will attract opportunities into your life that seem (because of your perception) to reflect exactly those beliefs.  If you choose to, you can stay stuck in them and dig yourself into a deeper hole of negativity.

Or, you can change your beliefs and actions by asking yourself a few questions such as:

• How can I move beyond these limitations with ease, grace, joy and success?
• What has to change in me so I can create the financial freedom and life I want?
• Is there a forgiveness issue blocking my financial freedom and joy?  Forgiveness is FOR you, not them.
• What will it take for me to be on the same wave length as a large income, wealth, abundance and financial freedom?

Then meditate, go for a walk, do something that makes you feel happy and light.  Listen and watch for signs and guidance and take inspired action.  Most of all, stay connected to the feeling you felt when your inspiration and guidance came to you.  Stay connected to your passion about receiving and having what you want.  Feel the feeling right now of having what you want even though it hasn’t arrived yet and keep taking inspired action steps.

Let the old limiting beliefs go.  They never served you anyway.  They may have given you something in common to talk about with your friends or family, but now you can introduce a new way of thinking to them.  A way that works FOR all of you.  How cool is that?

I love when my life turns out better than my dreams!  Don’t you?

What’s Your Title?

There’s an old saying about growing up to be a doctor, lawyer or Indian Chief.  As time evolves, so do the aspirations of young people.  The model of going to college for a good education which will ensure success works for many but usually brings with it large student loans.

Today’s youth have different aspirations.  I’ve met middle school students who want to be basketball stars; doctors; rap musicians; fashion designers, and the list goes on to be as unique as the individual child and their life experiences.

What if children were taught to think outside the box and go inside their hearts for inspiration?

Disney has a job title of “Imagineer” throughout their many companies.  “… Imagineering is letting your imagination soar and then engineering it down to earth.” – Taken from a Time magazine ad from February 16, 1942, titled “The Place They Do Imagineering”

A couple of Adobe’s many unique job titles include “Platform Evangelist” and “Developer Evangelist”.

How cool are all those titles?  Can you imagine waking up each morning knowing you are an “Imagineer” or a software “Evangelist”?  What difference would that make to your attitude and possibilities available to you?  As a testament to that theory, just look at the phenomenal products and experiences created by Adobe and Disney.

I decided to play with this a little.  Having already taken on the title of “The Sensitive Child Advocate”, I’ve added “Wellbeing Evangelist” and “World Wellness Imagineer.”  Doing this elevates your energy to higher possibilities.  From a quantum physics standpoint, what greater things can be attracted because of this higher level of aspiration?

I invite you to take a moment to play with this as well.  Be inspired from the inside out.  It’s fun!

Enjoy being you.  Imagine the possibilities…
