DEFINED PROTOCOLS

Good afternoon, morning, evening, wherever you may be in this physical plane of existence, it's time to bang out yet another inspiring post that hopefully empowers those of you who have stopped by! Oh the journey of the deliberate creator, with all the challenges of molding a preferred reality and at the same time attempting to ignore the ideas of others as well as the status quo's ''inside the box mentality'' When learning about conscious creation and working to integrate it into your lifestyle it begins as an intellectual pursuit if you will, meaning your brain wants to make sense of it all, so you begin researching all things law of attraction, look no further than the good old world wide web [baby boomer term] as there is an endless plethora of information, techniques, practices, and personal development blogs out there. My first few years of practice would involve constantly seeking answers through P.D. blogs, law of attraction forums and articles, as well as You Tube videos, absorbing anything and everything I could to make law of attraction work in my favor. First and foremost, it is this writer's opinion that in the past nine years, the law of attraction has gone ''too'' mainstream, and taking in too much information too fast can result in a lot of confusion, which can easily become a forced effort when wanting to create your reality. We all have been conditioned through personal experiences, we've followed the rules of society and it's beliefs, along the way we figured that if everyone else is doing something a certain way, then it must be the right way, and the same thing has happened with the law of attraction [personal development] since it's gone mainstream, with all the information telling us ''do it this way, no, do it that way'' or ''if you are willing to [pay] invest in this tried and true formula, you can manifest your desires faster'' but in the end it becomes an endless quest, and where does positive thinking play a role in all of this?, while I personally believe it's good to adopt a positive mentality in personal growth, achieving constant bliss is not the be all end all of reality creation, without contrast there can simply be no movement or growth, life energy does not operate on one side of the pole, there must be balance between the darkness [negative] and the light. [positive] Delusional thinking is when a person believes that law of attraction will bring them constant bliss and perfection in their life, I used to think and feel this way, that is, until I discovered I couldn't hold on to that energy [excitement/bliss] for too long before I would experience it's opposite, then I would try to cling to my positive energy, which only made matters worse. Why is it we are so afraid of our own negative emotions? we fight them at the subconscious level because after all, they don't ''feel'' good so we judge them and try to suppress them, or, we'll try to focus even more positive energy over them, which is just another form of suppression. Like everyone else, I don't like to feel negative emotion, it just doesn't feel good to feel bad, and what doesn't help is buying into the ideas of others that you cannot become successful with law of attraction if you have any negative feelings whatsoever, that idea is counter-productive because when you are feeling bad, you'll just feel even worse because you're resisting the bad feelings, which just causes them to persist even more. It's bad enough that we buy into all of these blind ideas of society, what's right or wrong, what defines a person [wealth/fame] what the right religion to believe in is, what science says is only valid, and seeing is believing. Are we awake yet?, we're so busy absorbing and trying to decipher all of this information that's constantly being thrown our way through the internet, media, and religion, that we're not taking the time to ask ourselves what feels ''right'' to us, instead of what feels right from others. I am grateful for discovering the law of attraction, from the famous movie The Secret, and at the beginning, it opened up the door to conscious creation for me, but it merely scratched the surface, and at that time I had a long arduous path ahead of me, and so I do credit some of the information that resonated and was available to me through the years, via the internet. Once introduced to law of attraction, our minds will want to rationalize how all of this realty creation stuff works, so it's only natural we will ''attract'' more info on the subject into our physical experience, the Universe will provide, but at some point, should you persist for knowledge, you'll learn that reality creation isn't about getting it all intellectually, you'll move beyond this way of ''thinking'' and come more from a place of ''being'' because you'll discover that true creation comes from feeling, not intellectual thinking. In the next post I will delve into the subject of core values and how they can assist us in finding our true passion/self expression, Until then friends.

FINAL REALIZATION

Hello from one of the hottest places in America, Phoenix AZ! Yes, I've been stuck indoors for the greater part of this summer and how I'm able to keep my sanity is a miracle in and of itself. Summers here are long, and during this time most of the Sonoran Desert outside is un-inhabitable for humans, rendering Phoenix a ghost city until early October when the climate starts to get more comfortable, and the snowbirds come pouring in, we all can't wait! But enough rambling about the scorching heat and on to something much more interesting, deliberately creating the life we want! While this has easily been one of the most difficult summer's of my lifetime it has helped me to grow significantly, being confined indoors for these past few months has given me ample time for reflection, clarity, and dare I say opportunity, and I simply wouldn't be where I am now [energetically aligned] were it not for this difficult time. But was it really difficult? despite what our beliefs are, there are no external ''higher forces'' sending us trials and ''tests'' that we must overcome to prove our worthiness, there is no such thing as ''this is meant to be'' or ''this is not meant to be'' in this intelligently designed Universe, of course if you DO choose to believe either of the above the Universe will validate those beliefs by bringing circumstances that match those very beliefs into your physical reality. You see, you can believe whatever you choose to believe, but are you believing something that empowers you, or are you believing something that's defeating you?, it's your power, you get to choose, no one or anything outside of you can make that decision for you, only you can decide. If you are serious about becoming a deliberate creator [self mastery] you will eventually come face to face with your own truths, and those of Universal intelligence, you'll have to reach deep within to find which beliefs you have held onto for so long and whether they are are serving you, or not serving you, this becomes especially necessary when you intend improvements in your life, no matter what area, [relationships, wealth, optimum health] so you WILL come up against your own beliefs, there is no way around it. If you've been following this blog site for awhile you'll get a good idea what I myself have gone through, but as of now I've reached the final realization I'd been searching for a little over five years now, this does not mean I've cleaned everything up in my life, we never get that done, contrast is a part of our experience on this plane of existence, without it we would wither away, we couldn't grow, we'll never get it done in these physical bodies. This final realization is one we'll all reach at some point in life, and hopefully not at the expense of a near death experience! It's simple really, but it comes from experience, nothing else, you just finally reach that level of ''knowing'' that everything's ALWAYS working in your favor, you KNOW that whatever intention you have, it is already created within at the non physical YOU, so it's arrival is imminent, you are already fully aware, and in control of your thoughts so you KNOW that thoughts DO indeed become things, so your thinking is only directed at what is preferred, and not directed at what is not. The final realization is KNOWING that you no longer need anything because you already HAVE everything, and that NOTHING, and no one, can come between you and your well being, the final realization is that you are a conscious creator!

UNSTOPPABLE FORCE

Good morning everyone, thank you for checking in for a visit, perhaps you could allow me to empower you with this post, but first ask yourself this question, does life get any better than this? Where you are now [liked or not] is where you need to be and for good reason, so that you can decide where you want to go, this is contrast, and it's simple purpose is to serve you, never was it meant to work against you, there is no such thing as failure! Getting how all of this works [creating your reality] would seem to make sense intellectually, but practicing and experiencing it on a personal level is something that's required for success, as I've written in the last post, experience is knowledge. The laws of physics are an unstoppable force, and when we learn to leverage them in our favor, we learn to live a life of freedom and unlimited abundance, when we desire something more for ourselves, our inner being has already expanded into that ''something more'' that we desired, it is now ''our job'' to align to that part of ourselves that ''already'' has what we desire. But how do we know when we're aligning to our desire?, look no further than you're emotional state, if you're already feeling good about what you want, that's the indicator from your inner being, that you're right on track, but it goes a little further than this, to be a perfect vibrational match to your desires [whatever they may be] doesn't mean focusing on them constantly, there's more to it than that, it's about ''knowing'' your role as a co-creator with ''all that is'' [Universal intelligence] it's about realizing how powerful you really are, and that you really do create your own reality, wanted or unwanted, how empowering this is! I'm not referring to this power from an egotistical sense, this power I'm speaking about is quite humbling, it's not something you ''show off'' or abuse to get ahead by stepping on others for personal gain [greed/corruption] it's a very personal thing that you harness and apply in your own life for a greater purpose, that purpose being continuous expansion. While many are using this Universal law to harm others [personal gain] there are consequences [lack/nonfulfillment] but they are at an individual level, and while the law of causation is also at play here, it would be wise to spread the wealth rather than to hoard it so to speak. I've written before about the ''knowing'' phase where we are able to fully embrace [rather than fear] our own true power, and when this occurs we shed our limitations and in some cases even change our intentions, or at the very least we gain a lot more clarity towards the things we want which allows their physical manifestation much faster and easier. The more aligned you become on a consistent basis [to source energy/higher self/inner guidance] the more positive momentum you bank, and as this occurs you'll become what I like to call a ''miracle magnet'' but miracles will no longer ''seem'' like miracles to you, sure, others around you will marvel at how ''lucky'' you are, but it has nothing to do with luck, because you are creating your own reality in a more ''relaxed awareness'' state of being, it's no big deal, it's second nature! You KNOW you hold the power, and you can feel the confidence, and yet you feel very humble about it all, it's a very personal thing that you don't ''brag'' about despite those around you scratching their heads wondering how you became so lucky, again, luck has nothing to do with it. This post is just a reminder that as long as you are aligned to the unstoppable force [Universe/inner being/spirit within/higher self] you too, will become an unstoppable force!

''EXPERIENCE'' is knowledge

The above title quote's something Albert Einstein said as it applies to each and every one of us. No person's experience is the same, drawing comparisons to other's experiences and trying to learn from them is not the way to personal growth, people do this all too often in today's society, trying to be/become someone/something they are not, instead of being original and authentic. At first approach with law of attraction I researched and followed other's teachings and examples because I was new and vulnerable, hungry for knowledge I bought into the hype of The Secret, thinking that to succeed with all this manifesting stuff you were just required to think hard about what you wanted and ''poof!'' there's your stuff. Researching further it became more evident that it WAS'NT as easy as I'd hoped it to be, but I pressed on, researching, applying, researching, applying more, and the more I'd learn the harder I would try, whenever there were small victories something else would surface to overcome, this would continue for a few years despite the fact I hadn't realized it then, or else I would've given up at the start. But I never gave up, it seems there is no going back when you amass this kind of knowledge, I mean there were countless times I recall throwing in the bloody towel, but something always helped me back up to win another fight. Becoming the creator of your preferred reality may be the hardest thing to master, it was for me, yet it's the only thing I haven't given up on despite many of my lifetime failures, everything else in my life prior to this I'd always given up on, before this transformation I would live in a self-defeating, self-fulfilled prophecy, ''woe is me'' negative world, creating my own reality of misery and suffering, only to discover later that I was one hundred percent responsible for all of it. I had it all backwards early on discovering this universal law, thinking that all the great teachers in The Secret made it all look so easy, so I thought it would be easy for me too, but it was easy for them once they'd been through the worst, and it will get easier for all of us if we stay the course, willing to fail many times, but never give up. I've never purchased anything online as far as law of attraction/personal development courses, I've never hired a self help coach or went on spiritual retreats, I don't practice meditation, I haven't converted to Christianity or religion, I've done all of this on my own, my own way, not anybody else's way. Yes, I'll admit this seems the hard way, but the harder the experience, the greater the reward, as slow and steady WILL win the race, along with persistence and perseverance. I try to avoid being ''preachy'' when writing these posts [there's enough of that out there already] and there's also a fine line when telling someone ''how'' they ''should'' practice deliberate creation, and when I blog about this subject I have to often remind myself that everyone's experience is different, and my only job is to inspire, not preach the gospel. If you've been doing this awhile you're probably relating to this post, but if you're new to all of this do not be discouraged, after all it's a journey, and getting rid of all the mental gunk can be very uncomfortable at times, but the rewards are staggering to say the least, look no further than Thomas Edison, he failed thousands of times, [you won't fail even close to that I promise] but in the end we have a luxury known as electricity. My whole life has made me who I am now, I have NO regrets, everything bad and good has molded me into the person I am, and who I CHOOSE to be, and it's all from my own personal life experiences, not from learning what somebody else's experience or ideas about life are, we're leaders, not followers, what experience will you choose?

ENEMY MIND?

Terrific Tuesday everyone! When choosing to focus deliberately on a new and improved life it's only natural that your own wounded mind [ego] will fight to survive by clinging on to it's old patterns of thinking, thus resulting in the same old habitual habits/behaviors it has been conditioned to. A lot of spiritual and religious practices/ideas teach that the ego mind is the enemy and should be treated as such, that it must be ''eliminated'' to live a more peaceful, harmonious, and balanced life, this seems a bit too extreme for me, and although I'm not striving for that ''perfect enlightenment'' or becoming the monk on the mountain top, I do agree to some degree, that there is work to do when dealing with the wounded mind, but my idea is to get the wounded mind/ego on board with our positive intentions, not fight against it, that's a futile approach, given that my own past thinking and behaviors, as well as the unwanted circumstances resulted, have created my own wounded mind. The more logical approach would be to reprogram the wounded mind, first of course dissolving the limited beliefs and imprinting new beliefs that resonate more with the positive changes you wish to make. Why fight against your own mind?, even if it does not yet agree with your newfound thinking it will take time for it to adjust to it's new environment/programming. Of course it will fight and cling to what it's always known, but the more you resist the mind's resistance the more the wounded mind will persist. This requires a gentle self loving, self forgiveness approach, as well as a whole lot of letting go, and two more things, time and patience. Your ego mind is a part of you, it is not your enemy, it's YOU protecting YOU from the unknown, it has been conditioned by societies ideas of struggle, lack, and limitation, it has been programmed to ''play it safe'' and not take risks, it only knows what's inside of the box, not outside of the box, It is no more guilty of protecting you than your own mother protects you in a harsh neighborhood, before you board the bus for school. I believe that our ego serves a purpose, and in my own experience my ego is beginning to get on board with my intentions, I can't phase it out because that is where my desires were born, of course there is still room for improvement in the role desire plays in the ego mind, because my deepest desires have moved into the heart, it's just that now there are beginning to be signs of harmony between the ego mind and the heart, I just don't see personally, how the ego can be left out of desire, that to me seems to be the purpose of ego, to constantly desire through the contrast. There would be some however, that would disagree with this idea and it's understandable, but personally speaking I love every aspect of myself including my ego, this is because I'm beginning to ''tame'' it if you will, by allowing it to throw it's tantrums without judgment, which enables it's old programming to dissolve and run it's course in it's own time, and at the same time instilling positive beliefs to replace the dissolving negative beliefs, it's a gentle approach known as allowing. You could liken my approach to that of breaking a wild horse, but in a more gentle fashion, of course I'm still a work in progress, so I'll keep this updated as I progress, should be interesting!

YOUR WAY

One of the most rewarding experiences of becoming a deliberate creator is molding your reality any way you choose, with the one exception of course, getting out of the way and allowing the Universe to deliver through the path of least resistance. For the first three years of practicing conscious creation I researched endlessly and obsessively all things law of attraction on the internet, they were very confusing times, I was relying on all the information out there, based on what others were telling me, and applying the methods and techniques desperately to manifest my wanted reality. Looking back, I can recall doing all these so-called methods and techniques while still harboring decades of limited beliefs, resistance, and negative momentum, and the worst part was that ''trying'' to manifest my desired reality created even more resistance because I wanted change really bad and really fast! I've done it all, breathing techniques, E.F.T. [emotional freedom technique, which did help some] Hooponopono, affirmations/mantras, and vision boards. While some have helped they hadn't worked in the long run, being temporary at best, so within the past two years I had to find my own way out of the maze to master the art of deliberate creation. This was a period of feeling completely lost and discouraged because I'd absorbed so much information and knowledge about the law of attraction for three years and I just wanted to implement it into my life and manifest my desires already!, but I was still harboring resistance [limited beliefs] and what I've learned from other's just wasn't working anymore, it became evident that it was now up to me, to take control of my own thinking and emotions, I was then officially on my own. If you should go back a few years into my blog archives, you would never know there were any serious issues during my releasing stages, and although I had documented some of them on this blog site, I did my best to steer clear of the intense negativity when I posted those articles, during those intense detox periods. With deliberate creation there is no ONE tried and true formula, no ''one size fits all'' and some will succeed using all of the techniques and methods mentioned above, and others like myself will come to eventually develop their own formula for success. What finally changed the game for me was practicing the art of letting go and allowing, because I'd reached that point where there was just nowhere left to go, so I finally let go of everything, the forced efforts, the endless quest for answers, including the methods and techniques that no longer served me. While I believe alignment methods and techniques can help in the beginning, at the early stages of practicing conscious creation, they are not the be all, end all, of reality creation, and at some point on the journey to self mastery, the training wheels have to come off of the bike. I believe the best deliberate creators are the ones who forge their own path on the quest to self mastery, using their own style, their own personality, because nobody is the same, and that's what's so great about this journey, you don't have to be perfect to be successful. Makes you think of the old Frank Sinatra song but more tailored to reality creation, ''and although the path was long, I did it my way'' and there it is!

MIRROR, MIRROR!

Good [manic] Monday viewers, before I jump into the next topic I'd like to give mega-appreciations to all of you for visiting this blog-site, I truly hope these articles are inspiring you and wish the best for all of you on your journey! Let's get started, I'm sure everyone is familiar with the saying ''the eyes are the window to the soul'' as this couldn't be more truer when you're speaking with someone and maintaining eye contact, usually, you'll pick up a certain vibe from a person and even more so as you can usually read that person by looking them in the eye. Eye contact is important, it shows how authentic you really are and it's a key ingredient towards a successful life, to look someone in the eye when speaking to them shows courage as well as confidence. I have found a very beneficial practice that sets the stage for self confidence, courage, and success, the only tool you'll need is a mirror. All too often we'll get up in the morning looking into the mirror and notice what's wrong with us, we'll notice some new wrinkles on our face, we'll judge that ''spare tire'' around our waste line, or even worse, we'll avoid looking at ourselves all together, because we just don't like what we're seeing. What we fail to understand is that we're basing everything on what's ''outside'' of ourselves, and when we do this we can't find that happiness inside. Everything good that happens to us comes from within, but there IS a shortcut, [yes, I said it] there is a way to bypass the ''outer'' distractions and program yourself for success, from within. Before you can do this however, you must be honest and true to yourself, this is because you will be looking at the physical you, [in the mirror] and speaking to the greater you, through your eyes, and what you speak [words are powerful] will determine where you are energetically. Going further into detail, say you are looking into the mirror and you affirm ''I am wealthy'' but as the words come out you feel a certain tightness/tension, or you look away from your eyes, [you want to maintain eye contact with the greater you] this would indicate that your beliefs conflict with being wealthy. Another way to go is to affirm to the greater you [in the mirror] that you are grateful for what is currently in your life now, this will position you for great success with this practice. I cannot emphasize enough how powerful this is, and with persistence your outer world will change dramatically but I must warn that at first this may feel really strange to you, so ease into it and don't try to make huge leaps, first find things that are good in your life, and tell the greater you that you appreciate them. After some time, more outside evidence will support your newfound appreciation, and while this occurs you'll have more confidence when you look at and speak to the greater you. I'm kind of a rough edged guy, but I'll still look at myself and say ''I friggin' love you man!'' so it's VITAL that you love yourself first, as a matter of fact I encourage you to do this first and foremost in front of the mirror until it ''feels'' good to you, looking at yourself through source energy, then move towards affirming more desired spoken words, that resonate with feeling grateful about the physical qualities, you possess, we all have them. A lot of times affirmations can be tricky because our mind refuses to believe them, like myself in the past, we'll try to leap too far when we're not ready, but there's something about looking into your own eyes in the mirror that causes you to speak the real truth, you wouldn't lie to yourself, so you would want to affirm something good that's happening in your current reality, and it just grows from there, it's friggin' powerful! Here's what you do, look into the mirror after waking up, withhold any judgments if you can, if you can't look into your own eyes at first that's fine, you'll work up to it, now find things that you appreciate about you [I know you've got some in there!] and say them aloud, c'mon, nobody's looking, at first you may feel uneasy, that's okay, persistence is key and it will reap it's own rewards. Repeat again just before bedtime, make it routine along with brushing your teeth, keep at it, as you are in direct communication with the broader you, and over time you can begin commanding your intentions by stating them as truth while looking yourself ''directly'' into your eyes [source] which allows changes in your physical reality to happen much faster, do this for thirty days and watch what unfolds, great stuff I assure you!
