Soul Connections and Relationships

by Julie Redstone -

Those we are close to are related to us in complex ways, historically, biologically, and in terms of soul-connection. Yet often, what outpictures on the level of the physical does not reflect the intensity and meaningfulness of the soul connection that has brought us into proximity with another, whether for a few moments or for a lifetime.

Where the bond is strong and one of commitment, we tend to assume that there is a deeper connection. However, what is actually true is that this connection exists even where relationships do not function smoothly or carry a great deal of difficulty.

Even in such cases, the soul connection may be one of a purely positive nature, though many serious problems or challenges may be manifesting on the physical plane.

The confusion about levels of relationship comes up commonly in two ways: 

• when we feel a deep heart connection with someone, whether for a few moments or for many years and this sense of connection is not reciprocated or acknowledged by the other 

• or when we have a great deal of difficulty with another or suffer at the hands of another and wonder why they are in our lives and what, that is positive, could be the purpose of such a relationship. 

In both cases we are presuming a relationship on a different level that is the explanation or cause for what we are experiencing.

The truth of soul relationships is more complex than most are aware of at this point. 

On the one hand, what one soul recognizes may not be what another is capable of perceiving at a given point in time. This does not make the relationship or connection untrue. It just means that the other is bound in their perception by limitations on the personality level and cannot register or be aware of the deeper currents of relatedness.

The discrepancy between our own perception of things and that of someone else can lead to disappointment and even to sorrow if we do not understand that what exists at the soul level has to find its way into physical expression in its own way and time.

In some instances this may not happen nor serve the highest good within a particular lifetime.

Similarly, with relationships that have a strong negative component, whether familial or introduced by external circumstances into our life. Souls never come together to harm each other. They always come together in order to further each other’s learning on the level of the heart and spirit.

No matter who we encounter in life, especially in the context of a long-term connection, the other soul is crossing our path in order to convey something that we have chosen to learn. What this is, involves the mystery of embodied experience, and can shape the course of a lifetime.

Suffice it to say that, often, the direction we think things should go in with another, does not become the direction that they actually go in. 

This is not because the inner connection is not there or is faulty but because the point of meeting with another brings into awareness for each participant, the portion of meaning they are capable of holding in the present and what is true within the perception of one person may not be true for the other.

Souls, in their desire and capacity to help each other, may also choose periods of time apart from each other. Sometimes the separation is what is needed in order to further the relationship.

Sometimes, the learning that takes place can only take place with periodic or intermittent contact with another. In addition, there are many levels of meeting or contact between souls.

Souls have the capacity of meeting not just on the physical plane but on the plane of dreams which, for many, involves actual meetings that are conducted within the energy-body while asleep.

The kind of communication and support that can take place through these non-physical meetings can be quite significant. 

They can further or continue a relationship, even where one participant has left their body through death. This is because those who have departed are still connected with us as souls and can choose, for various reasons, to meet us within our energy or dream bodies while asleep so that we may share further experience as part of an ongoing relationship.

Where souls are meeting primarily in the dream body as opposed to the physical body, it can happen either because the inner directives of one soul have caused them to depart from the physical plane while the other remains.

It can also be caused by limitations on the level of the personality that prevent a soul from acknowledging the connection with another due to defensiveness, fear or simply to a lack of awareness within the existing personality of what the soul knows on its own level.

The inner connection is maintained when the personality has less say over making contact, generally at night but sometimes also during the day.

To Help and to Love

At these times we may experience the presence of others with us where it seems that there is an intentionality to their being there and a desire to communicate in words or through feeling.

Becoming able to listen and to hear these communications without fear or self-invalidation but with a sense of wanting to help and to love is a task of the maturing soul that opens the door to the many faceted relationships that exist within the spiritual universe.

Finally, let it be said that souls also meet outside of their physical bodies because of the level of their spiritual development and their increased capacity to do so in an intentional way.

These meetings are part of the growing development of consciousness to manifest reality in a myriad of ways.

The truth of soul relationships is more complex than most are aware of. Yet often, what outpictures on the level of the physical does not reflect the meaningfulness of the soul connection that has brought us into proximity with another.

Awareness of these connections enrich life immeasurably and add to the dimension of the physical, the dimension of the spiritual in ways that will one day become quite natural and commonplace, which, for today, may seem the exception.

Inter-Dimensional Wake-Up Crew

by Keith Varnum -

Are You Part of the Wake Up Crew?

Many people living on the planet right now have volunteered to accept the opportunity to play teaching, healing, inspirational and leadership roles during this current planetary transformation. These assignments have been accepted by each individual's soul prior to birth. Most folks have a kind of amnesia concerning these agreements.

The energy fields of natural Power Spots have the capacity to awaken an individual to their destiny agreement—to stimulate recognition of their deeper purpose in living.

Stalk Power Spots

Power Spots in Nature have unique energetic characteristics and qualities to assist people in their mental, emotional, physical and spiritual development—and thereby enable them to fulfill their life purpose.

Such places express an irresistible spiritual magnetism on the hearts and souls of the people who resonate with them.

These sites have a magical ability to lift the human soul above the problems of daily existence into an awareness of the Great Spirit and our specific connection to The Grand Plan.

Power Spots play a very potent role in the quest for one's Self. A Power Place is anywhere you feel centered, grounded and connected with Primal Life Force.

Power Spots can be geographical locations, a positioning in a room full of people, or a precise moment in time when it is most advantageous to act. Designating a certain place and time as a focus of strength is ultimately a subjective, individual act of empowerment.

Boost Your Aliveness

Being grounded and connected makes us feel more safe and centered. The safer we feel, the more courageous, able and willing we are to perceive the truth of what is so.

The more accurately we perceive the world around us, the better we deal with things in our life. The better we handle our world, the more fun it is to be present.

The more consciously we show up, the more alive we feel. The more vibrant we feel, the more awake we want to be.

The more awake we are, the more accurately we see what's really going on, the better we deal with life, the more exciting and exhilarating it is to be conscious. This spontaneous process quickly snowballs in a wonderful direction of waking up fully to our natural wisdom.

Uncover Your Essential Self

You can use the natural physical world to reveal the true workings going on underneath the surface appearance of all form.

In Nature the deceit of Illusion is exposed, and you glimpse the core reality within the outer physical shell.

Inter-Dimensional Veils

The inter-dimensional veils between the visible and invisible worlds are gossamer-thin in the silent, timeless spaces of Wilderness, permitting easy access to other dimensions of life.

Nature offers a safe, nurturing environment for deep introspection, self-discovery and soul retrieval.

Clear intention to awaken—combined with the isolation and solitude of a place of timeless harmony, balance and tranquility—stimulates a dynamic, alchemical odyssey. When you delve deeply into your relationship with the Earth and your God, you let the Land teach you greater intimacy, clarity and personal integrity.

Free from the confining shackles of the modern world, you uncover a new vision of your life. You learn to trust the physical universe to fully support you as you follow your own unique path. You find your way back to your heart and soul, and reclaim the strength and clarity to stand in your personal truth.

Seeing the Secrets of Life

"Seeing" life reveals its secrets. When you "see" beneath the surface appearance of events—instead of simply "looking" at the outer presentation, you tap into the realm of true wisdom.

The same essential dynamic of unfolding moves through every aspect of life—natural and human. You see the same patterns of ebb and flow, catalyst and change, destruction and transformation, in the sphere of sexuality and spirituality, science and emotion, thunderstorms and arguments.

As you begin to perceive the similar recurring patterns of energy flowing through all life behind-the-scenes, you begin to experience "the river running through it all."

When you get still enough inside—mentally and emotionally, you can feel the common thread of spiral movement that flows through all life and gives animation to all things.

You get a very tangible sense of how all creation operates. One who has mastered life is one who has mastered the way life flows. Nature is our best teacher of the way life plays.

Break on through to the Other Side

Breakthrough and transformation can come through an intuitive, respectful reunion with Wilderness.

You experience a palpable time warp between the everyday world and the timeless soul oasis of the lost Wildness.

The Ancients Ones, alive in the vibrations of the Land, call to you to meet and play with your extended family of kindred spirits.

You absorb the wisdom of knurled trees and majestic, ancient temples of dark moss forests. You cleanse and purify your body and soul in clear, spring-fed pools. You hike though a rainbow.

You soar with hawks upwards into the clouds to a new appreciation of the infinite scope of your spirit. You hear your inner voice speaking to you in the whisper of the wind and the howl of a timber wolf. "You" disappear into the expansive night sky.

You can lose your "self" in the mystery and magic of ageless vortexes guarded by ancient forests. You can find your "Self" in the raucous rambling of untamed creeks and canyons.

Hidden behind the grandeur of serrated, jewel-toned cliffs; the awesome, wild beauty of graceful trees; and the serene sound of rushing mountain streams lies the living consciousness of Gaia, the Greek Goddess of the Earth. These transformational treasures are ready to rejuvenate your body and spirit.

Walk the Way of the Warrior

The Nature Warrior walks the path that matters most, the path of spiritual purpose—the journey that leads us Home.

Spirit Warriors live their passion, speak the divine truth, create love with heart, and build karmic freedom portals with each footstep.

The Wilderness pilgrimage is a cosmic journey into your own soul, into the depths of your own knowing through its natural reflection in the world around you. You explore the fluid, flexible nature of the physical universe.

Guided by the precise, practical mirror of the outer natural world, you open to loving without fear and enjoying without judgment. In Nature you tap unexpected new sources of strength, joy, ecstasy and inner peace.

Play a Bigger Game

Expand your playfield. This Earth-Human connection can be a two-way street. Natural Power Spots are particular geographic locations where a unique energetic dynamic allows for a mutually beneficial relationship between the planet and humans.

People are served by the dynamic energies radiating from the sites. And, in the same manner, the presence of Earth healers at Power Spots transmit an essence of love, strength and gratitude to the planet.

This deep appreciation sparks waves of vital energy that stimulates the planet's entire energy field, and becomes a deliberate practice of planetary acupuncture. With pure conscious intention, a human being with a loving heart functions as an acupuncture needle to move stuck energy of the Earth.

Renew Yourself and the Planet

This sharing of human chi builds a bridge to a new paradigm and re-kindles conscious awareness in the lost relationship between the planet and its human inhabitants.

Combined with other folks with the same unifying intention, you can seed a future of cooperation, community and co-creation between all forms of life—planetary, animal, elemental, human and divine.

Merging with Nature you learn how to become an active player in healing your own spirit while at the same time healing the body and soul of the planet.

Awakening Our Courage

by Madisyn Taylor -

Are You Excited Or Scared?

When new challenges and opportunities show up in our lives, we may diagnose ourselves as feeling scared when what we really feel is excited. 

Often we have not been taught how to welcome the thrill of a new opportunity and so we opt to back off, indulging our anxiety instead of awakening our courage. 

Translating Our Feelings

One way to inspire ourselves to embrace the opportunities that come our way is to look more deeply into our feelings and see that butterflies in our stomach or a rapidly beating heart are not necessarily a sign that we are afraid.

Those very same feelings can be translated as excitement, curiosity, passion and even love. 

There is nothing wrong with being afraid as long as we do not let it stop us from doing the things that excite us.

Most of us assume that brave people are fearless but the truth is that they are simply more comfortable with fear because they face it on a regular basis. 

The more we do this, the more we feel excitement in the face of challenges rather than anxiety. 

The more we cultivate our ability to move forward instead of backing off, the more we trust ourselves to be able to handle the new opportunity, whether it’s a new job, an exciting move or a relationship.

When we feel our fear, we can remind ourselves that maybe we are actually just excited. We can assure ourselves that this opportunity has come our way because we are meant to take it.

Framing things just a little differently can dramatically shift our mental state from one of resistance to one of openness. 

We can practice this new way of seeing things by saying aloud: 

• I am really excited about this job interview. 
• I am really looking forward to going on a date with this amazing person. 
• I am excited to have the opportunity to do something I have never done before. 

As we do this, we will feel our energy shift from fear which paralyzes to excitement which empowers us to direct all that energy in the service of moving forward, growing and learning.

No One But Ourselves

by Karen Casey -
Tending Your Own Garden:

It's easy to make other people the focus of our attention isn't it? Women, especially, are raised to do so. Sometimes we judge, we criticize, sometimes audibly; through anger, manipulation, shame or guilt, we try to control the people sharing our journey. I have news for you. These are always wrong choices and never 'the work' we have been called to do.

Focusing outside ourselves and attempting to control other people is a clever avoidance technique; temporarily, at least, it helps us escape having to look at our own sometimes troubling behavior.

The irony is that we always see in others the behavior that we need to pay some attention to in ourselves. Always!

The people in our lives--family and friends, neighbors, even the strangers at the grocery or ahead of us in the traffic jam--are mirrors that reveal who we are.

Our reactions to them show us what we need to work on in ourselves and as we release them to live their own lives, we can get back to the business of controlling the only thing we really can control: our own responses of life.

Okay, but how? 

Simple. We have to learn some new behaviors and then practice them.

Cultivating New Behavior

Attend To Your Life, No One Else's! 

Many of us acquired the habit of interfering in other people's affairs early on in life. We heard our parents speaking critically about their friends, or other family members, or neighbors, for their actions or opinions. Obsessively watching the behavior of friends, family or even complete strangers and longing to change or control their behavior is a great catalyst for inner turmoil.

This goes hand in hand with the misguided idea that we can change anyone but ourselves.

You can spend years trying to change a spouse or some friend but what a relief to finally learn that the affairs of others are not ours to control or even judge. Being in charge of ourselves is enough.

It bears repeating: We are not in charge of others! Not their behavior, their thoughts, their dreams, their problems, their successes or their failures.

Even the children we parent have their own journey to make and our so-called control over them is, in fact, an illusion.

We can set an example for them, we can suggest a set of behaviors, we can demonstrate a code of ethics, we can even require that they live by certain 'house rules' while under our roof but finally it is they who will decide who they want to be and what they want to do, regardless of our efforts. And for that we will become grateful in time.

I say: Let's celebrate the fact that we are in charge of no one but ourselves. 

It relieves us of a heavy burden and a thankless job, one that never blesses us. Taking control of every thought we have and every action we take and being willing to relinquish the past while savoring the present, will assuredly keep us as busy as we need to be.

Doing these things and only these things is why we are here. It's only when we live our own lives and manage our own affairs, freeing others to do the same, that we will find peace we seek and so deserve.

Let Go and Let Others Be Themselves

So many of us spend countless hours or weeks or, in some sad cases, years, trying to make someone be who we want them to be or do what we think is in their own (or perhaps our) best interests, only to repeatedly fail in our attempts. This is a tragedy as well as a misspent life.

It's time to let go.

I was first introduced to the idea of 'letting go' in a Twelve Step support group and I was very slow to grasp the meaning. Wasn't it my job to guide a loved one's decisions and actions? To control them if I could? I had always thought that not doing so was selfish and uncaring.

Thankfully what I finally learned was that our spouses, our friends, our family, our neighbors, even the strangers crossings our paths, must be who they are, not who we think they should be. They must make their own mistakes and through what they learn, have reason to celebrate their own successes.

There are many reasons for letting go of this futile behavior but the most important ones are that we will never succeed in controlling others and never experience peace in our own lives if we are always focused on how other people are living or how we think they should be living.

If we want to be peaceful, we must let go of how others choose to live and take care of business in one life only: Our Own.

Get Out of the Center of Other People's Lives

Just as no one else can productively or peacefully be the total focus of our lives, we cannot waste precious time thinking we are or should be the center of someone Else's life either. That may come as a blow to your ego, but it's time to learn this important truth.

This does not mean we should quit interacting with people or shut them out in order to preempt being shut out. Nor does it mean we should ignore how other people or thinking and behaving for fear we will seek an unhealthy dependency on them.

Observing others can be both edifying and enlightening.

It simple means getting perspective on our role in all interactions and understanding where our responsibility for action ends and the other person's begins, becoming entangled in other people's actions, dreams or dramas binds us to them in emotionally unhealthy ways and prevents the growth we deserve. Unfortunately, many of us mistake being enmeshed for feeling safe.

We want people around us who will pay us constant attention, who will make no plans that don't include us, have no thoughts that aren't shared. But that's not relationship, that's dependence; it is unholy connection.

Relationships that truly bring us to peace are interdependent. They allow us to connect while still living and honoring our own lives and letting our 'learning partners' do the same.

Take No Hostages

Many of us think our most meaningful work has to do with minding other people's business. Why is it so hard to let other people have their own journey? Why do we persist in interfering in other people's lives, especially when we reap so few benefits? Because our parents did it is not reason enough. We no doubt observed our parents doing many things that we chosen to avoid. No, there must be another reason.

After nearly three decades of emotional and spiritual growth through Twelve Step programs and other spiritual pathways, I have concluded that we mind other people's business, we 'take hostages' so to speak strictly out of our own insecurity.

We get personally invested in other people and the outcomes of their actions because we see those outcomes as defining our lives in some way, as taking from us or adding to us some heretofore unrealized value.

How sad that we perceive our own well-being as so tied to the decisions, even occasional whims of others. We do it, again and again and our lives are never better for it, at least in the long run. In the short run, trying to help a loved one live his or her life may seem like the right thing to do--it may even be engaging for a while--but taking charge of our own lives is as much work as any one of us needs to experience.

The work of someone Else's life belongs to that person and God.

In fact, thinking of God, if even just occasionally, in the midst of all our experiences--those that involve others and those that involve us alone--can change our perspective entirely. No experience is mystifying for long if we remember who is orchestrating it.

It is important to remember, of course, that accepting that GOD is in charge of every one's life doesn't mean we have nothing to do. Indeed, footwork, some seemingly trivial and some quite specific and elaborate, is always necessary.

We must be accountable in our own lives, moment by moment and demonstrate this by doing the next right thing, but God is ever--present to guide us and everyone else too. Never is any one of us 'out of his/her range.'

Dealing With Life's Hardships

by Judy Merrill -

We have the tools of our own consciousness to design a life of spirituality. We have been given the tools of strength and balance in our body, mind and spirit connection. We do not require any outside stimulus to open and expand our state of consciousness to include the sensitivities of empowerment within our humanity.

Using prayer to connect to the highest source of all qualities allows the spirit to grow and be within a framework of love. It solidifies the connection between human frailties and the God of our own understanding. Opening and closing all our efforts with spirit, in prayer solidifies the covenant we seek with the guiding force of all life.

As you can program your computer to its language, so can you program your universe to the language of love. With this programming in place, the universe will resonate with the highest frequencies of 'life force energy', 'God'; 'Light' that resonate at this frequency.

When you focus on this frequency, your being becomes attuned like a musical instrument and will bring it into harmony in every cell of our universe. When you focus on fear it creates dis-harmonic frequencies in your being.

This inspiration talks to our interaction with others: 

A Reason, Season or Lifetime 

"People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person." --Glen Rambharack

When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed.

They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be

Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on.

Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn.

They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.

LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.

Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.

We can neither create nor destroy energy; we can only change its form. As we create something, we do not create the energy but take energy that already exists and change its form into that which we desire.

Path of Total Awareness

by Lauren C. Gorgo -

There is before you and each soul on earth, a path to awakening to the pure potential that resides within your heart-space. This light is most notable in those who are beginning to awaken during this most chaotic time period on earth. 

What this means is that those who are on earth at this time to recognize their divinity are here for good reason, for they hold the light packets and the infinity codes within their DNA and genetic wiring for complete transmutation of lower vibrations.

These dormant aspects of your current biology offer you the ability to step outside of your limited perceptions of self and the life around you to realize the beauty of interconnectivity and oneness that surrounds you. 

This is why you are on earth at this special time. This is why you have chosen to awaken at this particular stage of earths evolutionary journey.

Your purpose on this earth is none other than to awaken to the beauteous splendor of who you really are and that which expresses the joy of creation. 

Stepping into this role is one that requires a shedding of the old and outworn paradigms of life to begin to realize that there is more than the human eye can see and the human heart can dream. 

Now and in this stage of your journey, you are beginning to put the cosmic pieces of your puzzle together to form a cohesive and structured pathway that will lead you to the infinite expansion of your inner most dwelling.

This space is one that you have implanted within before your incarnation here and it is the work of your soul to guide you to this remembering. In this time in earth's history there is the potential for a complete and total resurrection of the body of this planet and therefore, the inhabitants upon it. 

So then, what is your special part? 

What we would like to provide you with is an understanding of how the genetic aspects of human construction works to assist in awakening the human consciousness.

There, in the space of what you call the earth dimensions are frequencies or codes that are written into geometric grid systems of light and intelligence and connect each human to a level of understanding of perceptual reality. 

This grid system works to incorporate all the levels of cosmic and stellar activity within the physical embodiment of a soul.

The purpose then, of these grid systems is to allow for each individual to grasp the information and consciousness of a particular field for the purpose of individual and collective awareness and experience in 3d, better known as the tangible dimensions of earth.

Your role then in this grid system is to connect with and incorporate the light that is emanating from these electromagnetic fields as they relate to you, to restore, rebalance and re-calibrate your human form. 

When this has been achieved, those who are ready to walk into the new and higher vibrations on earth will be prepared and well suited as they will have been guided by these unseen forces to their destiny. This is the genetic/energetic perspective. 

The spiritual perspective of awareness is that one must be in a state of complete clarity and harmonic balance to achieve the level of trust and knowingness necessary to employ the missions of the soul. 

This state of clarity is one that is achieved by the letting go of preconceived notions of what is, what was and what will be to allow for the truth to become.

I will expand upon that by saying that you are in a position to step onto the path of your limitless potential, should you choose it. 

This path is one that was set into motion by you and therefore only you can take yourself to the infinite.

Taking yourself to the infinite is merely a process of allowing...should you allow yourself the greatness of who you really are, you will succeed victoriously. 

The path of awakening to your divine potential is one that requires little but the requirement is one that the human ego resists. 

This requirement is surrendering to the experience of what is, outside of thinking.

We say surrender as a form of allowing, yet surrender is often an active pursuit. 

TO surrender one must be in an active role of participation with the soul and in complete faith.

This active participation is the process of seeing clearly what is of egoic making, but squarely requires the muscle of trust to be developed and readily exercised. 

Faith then, is the only pathway to truth and finding the truth of who you are is not to be found in your thoughts, but in the experiences of the heart. This state of mind that humans created with thoughts of separation is actually the state of mind that must be transcended to affirm the afore mentioned truth.

Once this state of mind has been realized, you are then in a position to understand, with clarity and by visceral experience, the truth of your being.

This is the space to not only realize your innermost desires and passion but to begin to put them in motion. The questions that reside in the human heart are there for good reason, to remind you that you are more than you "think" you are.

Allowing this light of truth to descend upon you is paramount to your fulfillment. 

Those who honor these questions of the heart, are those who courageously step on the path and claim their true power as conscious cocreators, capable of divine fulfillment and infinite joy.

What then are your questions of the heart? 

What is calling to you deep within the inner most recesses of your being? 

The answers to those calls are also within you, and the process to remembering is in your hands.

You hold the power to eliminate all in your life that no longer serves you in order to make room for what does. 

The space that you hold is yours by definition, you must create the new space that you desire without the distractions of society or the voices of others.

You alone make this journey to your full potential, but there is help along the way. You are always guided well, but you must answer the inner call.

Know that as you begin to explore the inner world of the soul, you can allow the outer world of your prior creations to disassemble with peace. You can follow the undercurrent of where your life is leading you and feel confident that you are being led by the seat of your power and expression of your higher self. 

This version of yourself is what will bring you into total harmony and balance through experience and will allow for you to express that which is unexpressed.

You will come to know what you long for as you allow life to lead you, so contrarily opposed to leading your life.

Most often this requires a mere shift in consciousness, for one cannot think their way to salvation. 

Experience is neither good nor bad, it is only what you perceive it to be, so allow for experience to alter you and you will benefit greatly.

A human life has the potential for ultimate peace, love and joy but to achieve this, one must BE the blend of such balance.

This balance is especially important in relationships for relationships require that one give and receive equally. In order to give, one must have; in order to receive, one must allow. 

This balance is a natural by-product of intimate relationships especially and is achieved through the aforementioned experiences of the heart. When one allows for the light to enter the heart-space, like-attractions become commonplace.

This allowing is what manifesting is made of, synchroncities that form as a basis to living a life with ease. 

Often, the human ego will block these miracles by interjecting with thoughts of doubt and feelings of powerlessness as a result of a hardened heart which blocks the love that already surrounds you. 

Heal your heart of all that no longer serves your vision of life and the love that is already yours will come into plain view. The human being was designed to create. So then, beloved one, what will you create with your infinite power?

What will you attract with your limitless potential through the formless substance of creation?

Uncover and BE who you are in truth and you will attract all that you ARE by default.

Blessings and miracles are bestowed upon you always but only if you allow for them. You can feel safe to let go, many are waiting to escort you to your destiny. These soul-mates will appear when you are ready to allow and receive them.

Many Paths, One Love

by Dr. Scott and Shannon Peck - 

How can we ever find peace with so much division between us in politics, religion, lifestyles and even within our families?

We can adopt the amazingly powerful theme in our personal lives: “Many paths, One Love.” It’s extraordinary how simply this theme can pull you into unity rather than separation.

For example, have you ever felt stung by a family member judging you for your lifestyle, decisions or path in life? Most of us have.

It’s so easy to be judgmental when someone is doing something against our own values or good sense – whether it’s their different religion, choice of mate, beliefs, actions or politics. Such judgments, of course can tear a family or friendships apart emotionally.

Even when there seems to be no solution to peace, there is one. 

You can actively practice the healing attitude of “Many paths, One Love.” Quite simply, what this means is that you decide to honor, without judgment, whatever path someone else takes, even though it may feel wrong or stupid to you.

So for example, if you are a parent feeling judgmental towards a son or daughter, you can decide to release your judgments and replace them with honoring. And why not? It’s not your life. You made mistakes in your life. We all do. That’s how we grow. We all need the freedom to individualize and self express!

There’s an even deeper healing insight here. 

You can honor the idea that there may seem like a zillion conflicting paths in life but that, behind all this confusion there is one divine Love guiding us all.

Think of it this way, we are climbing up the same mountain but taking different trails. Some take the easy, prepared route. Others fight through the thickets. Some parts of the mountain speak other languages. Some parts practice different religions. But we are all slowly climbing upwards towards the top of the mountain and we will all arrive at the “one” summit together.

It takes insight and courage to be a leader in living the principle of “Many paths, One Love,” because we have to act towards unity despite the “mind set” we wake up to every single day on Earth.

The daily news inundates us with division – large wars and mini-wars continuing all over the world between ethnic, religious, racial, and political groups. And our personal lives are often full of large wars or mini-wars with different people.

No one ever said that being a peacemaker or unifier is easy. Creating love and peace are very advanced love skills. 

Here’s a practice exercise to help you get good at living the theme “Many paths, One Love.”

The next time you feel judgment towards someone – either personally or politically – stop in your mental tracks and let your Highest Self reason like this, 

“Well, this person’s views or actions seem absolutely wrong to me and I can feel the judgment, even hate, filling my senses. But I want my life to contribute peace and love to the world, not hate. 

Let me take these feelings higher. Let me view everyone on Earth as worthy of being loved. They may be making what look like terrible mistakes to me, but I trust the divine power of Love to guide each of us home.” 

Such inner reasoning softens the tension in your body, heart and mind. Your life moves towards unity rather than division. Remember, with every thought you think and every action you take, you either create unity or separation. So what’s your next thought? And action?

The theme of “Many paths, One Love” guides us personally as Co-Founders of TheLoveCenter. The words “TheLoveCenter” naturally embrace all humanity. Love doesn’t exclude anyone. We can’t leave anyone out – even if we want to some days! We have no choice but to practice “Many paths, One Love.” This is an attitude as much as a love skill. 

It’s helpful to remember that the divine principle of Love knows how to speak to every individual on the planet because Love transcends politics, religion, personal differences, and race.

Love has it’s own language and each of us is able to be Love’s voice and messenger. 

 

Let our hearts be filled with Love!

Of course it’s not easy to honor all paths but do you think our world will be any different for future generations if we don’t learn the skills of honoring and creating unity?

This is the big event taking place in civilization right now and you are part of it whether you want to be or not. Your thoughts and your actions – with your spouse, family members, co-workers, friends and even strangers – are rippling through the universe. 

Our collective thoughts (and actions) are forging tomorrow’s civilization.

Thank you for every thought and every action in your life that creates more unity in our emerging new world of “Many paths, One Love.” Welcome to the heart of Love.

The Missing Link

by Scott Rabalais -

We live in a time filled with repeated cries for change but how does effective change come about? How do we create that which is a reflective of perfection? How can we be ensured that our thoughts and actions create a divine result?

From where does harmony originate? 

The answers are clear when following the path from results to source.

• Step 1: Results to Actions: Results come from actions. If we want to spruce up a house, we can drive to the store and purchase some paint, then apply the paint to the house. The action leads to the result - a spruced-up house.

• Step 2: Actions to Thoughts: Actions originate from thoughts. There cannot be action without there first being thought. Everything on our planet was manifested from thought. The result of a freshly-painted house came from the thought to improve the appearance of the house. So, thought precedes action.

• Step 3: Thoughts to Consciousness: Thought originates from consciousness. Consciousness is a field of vibration and energy. Thought is energy received and transmitted by the mind/brain. There are various levels or realms of consciousness from which this thought energy is emitted. We attract such thought energy to ourselves based on the level or type of consciousness (energy) we are experiencing.

• Step 4: Consciousness to Results: Linking step one to step three, it is apparent that results are based in consciousness. This leads to the idea that if we desire a change in results, we can go the the root of all results, actions and thoughts -- consciousness. But from what field of consciousness do the thoughts originate?

UNITY CONSCIOUSNESS

Even among the most knowledgeable, if the thinking is born from separation consciousness the results will reflect such a consciousness. Separation consciousness is "in the box" thinking, with a limited scope and possibility. 

Unity consciousness is "out of the box" thought, with unlimited scope and possibility. Unity consciousness is able to assess a situation created in separation consciousness and use universal energy and intelligence to ultimately bring positive results to any situation at hand.

Assessment of a situation from separation says, "We have analyzed this and logic tells us that we should move in direction X as a remedy." 

Offering the situation to unity consciousness and responding to its direction says, "This situation is what it is. I receive from unity consciousness the knowledge and direction to take. Unity consciousness knows and sees all, far more than my limited separation consciousness and personal knowledge can grasp."

Many paradigms emanating from psychological observation and study recognize the inherent links between results, action and thought. However, few constructs recognize the basis of thought in consciousness. As a result, much effort is applied at the action and thought level to modify results, rather than going to the basic level of consciousness.

A HARMONIOUS SOCIETY

An example of this can be found in our collective desire for a harmonious society -- an intended result. A harmonious society may mean that we all drive safely, do not take one another's possessions, do not act in violent ways, etc. In an effort to create such harmonious action, laws are passed to affect such behavior. 

Laws are thought constructs created with the intent to produce lawful behavior or action. Though the laws are no guarantee such harmony will occur (many laws are broken), it is what has been deemed most effective out of separation consciousness.

Unity consciousness is the "missing link" on the planet Earth. 

It is the answer to every problem, every challenge, every issue we face today. 

All so-called "problems" that we face, every perception of disharmony and disorder in our lives, can be solved in unity consciousness. 

Various solutions and remedies from separation are offered, some apparently more effective than others. But they are still separation oriented; they are still cultivated from separation thinking. It is only when unity consciousness is realized that we can and will experience paradise on Earth. We are one step away.
