Unforgettable Love Story

Continued from…

The problem with drugs is that we believe they are a problem and we lay our blame on them. In the past much of humanity used to blame our problems on sex. Money and greed also used to be the root of all evil. Rock and Roll even got the bad rap for a while.

What will be next?

Like fire, drugs are a tool, they can either heal or do harm. They are not a problem. Lack of self-esteem and awareness are the real problems. The sorts of drugs people take “recreationally” are enhancers and intensifiers. They enhance and intensify our state of mind. People who would do no harm to others, do no harm to others on drugs. There are plenty of people who consume illegal drugs and are not doing harm to others, they are even helping others.

A person who commits a harmful act under the influence of drugs, only revels the confusion and insanity that lives in their mind. In many ways it is good that they took the drugs, and finally let the sickness that was living in their minds out to be seen. Now it can be addressed… or can it? Not if one blames the problem just created on the drugs or those who sell them.

The problem is in the mind of the individual who created the problem, not the drugs.

Now, I know of plenty of reformed drug addicts who would say, “I would never harm another person, but when I was using drugs, I did.” Yet, in their energy I can feel they are still intending harm even now. Some people say that is different than doing harm. No, not really. By holding it in your intention the energy is out there and it will create. Under stress, it will come out directly through you. Drugs can put the body under extreme stress. It is at those times that the practiced, habitual thoughts comes out; in words and deeds.

This is one way to know when you have met someone who understands their oneness with the All That Is. Under stress, they continue to treat the other as they would like to be treated. And that is with Love and Compassion.

You see, we really have no right to judge others in any way. No one is free of guilt in the intending harm department. Even if you do not do it now, you have at some point in your eternal life. This could become quite a big topic, so I will just leave it at that for now.

All problems have the same source, not knowing who you really are. That is intentional. The game of life was setup that way. The only solution worth pursuing, the only game worth playing, is getting to know one’s own True Self.

Which brings us around to the war on drugs…Pushing against anything, resisting anything, only creates more of it. It is in the nature of God, the perfection of Our evolution, that it is Our focus that creates and increases creation…even if that creation is harmful. Eventually the creation will become so big that there is no denying how it came to be and how to change it.

Thus this problem we call drugs too shall pass. Would you like that to happen sooner or later? If your answer is sooner, take a different course of action. Stop pushing against drugs and accept them as nothing more than a choice, a choice we will cease to make once we have healed our self-esteem and had enough experience with living a life that does work and is gratifying.

Stop making new laws and reverse the existing laws against drugs. Stop making others feel worse for taking them. Focus on loving those who consume drugs and lead them to the joys of life. Love them so completely, make a clear and aware life so appealing, that they can see the pain they are inflicting on themselves, and see through your example a better way that does work.

It is very sad how many of our brothers and sisters and children we have allowed our legal system to imprison merely because they consume drugs. One person is too many.

Our prisons are way too inhumane to continue as they are. Please understand the insanity of our current system. We punish, torture and abuse people who are mentally ill. They must be ill for them to commit a crime. Then after a long period of time we set them free with the new skills they learned in prison. Can you imagine the new level of respect they would have for a society that would do such a thing. How barbaric, can’t you see why things keep getting worse? What do we expect? This energy came from those who drug us by the ears.

Contemplate on all We have taught you and see if you can imagine a future where we actually teach and heal offenders instead of punishing them. There are a lot of new age healers around these days who are wishing they had people to heal. Maybe we could put them to work.

What you do to the least of my brother, you do unto me.

Your children and grand children will have to grow up in this world we are creating. You will incarnate again into this world.

Love is the answer to all of our problems. It really and truly is. Please, choose it sooner, in every thought and action, rather than later.

Love and blessings to you,

A reader of my blogs sent me this interesting story. On the surface it makes sense, but if you look just a bit deeper you will see the flaws in its reasoning. These flaws in reasoning are common to all people living in our society today, and are the reason that we have the problems that we do have.

Please enjoy the story and then follow through by reading my comments on it…

Drug Problems - The Story

The other day, someone at a store in a small Midwestern town read that a methamphetamine lab had been found in an old farm house in the adjoining county and he asked me a rhetorical question, “Why didn’t we have a drug problem when you and I were growing up?”

I smiled and replied, “I did have a drug problem when I was a kid growing up on the farm in southeast Missouri.

“I had a drug problem when I was young:

“I was drug to church on Sunday morning.

“I was drug to church for weddings and funerals.

“I was drug to family reunions and community socials, no matter the weather.

“I was drug by my ears when I was disrespectful to adults and teachers.

“I was also drug to the wood shed and beaten savagely when I disobeyed my parents, told a lie, did not speak with respect, spoke ill of the teacher or the preacher. Or if I didn’t put forth my best effort in everything that was asked of me.

“I was drug out to pull weeds in mom’s garden, and flower beds, and cockleburs out of dad’s soybean fields.

“Those drugs are still in my veins and they affect my behavior in everything I do, say, and think. They are stronger than cocaine, crack or heroin, and if today’s children had this kind of drug problem, America might be a better place today.”

Drug Problems - The Flaws in Reasoning

Those people of yesterday are the leaders, the teachers, of those of us who are living today. They are the creators of the life and culture we live in toady. It is their teaching, that we can force others to do the “right thing”, which is the root of the problems we face today.

What is the “right thing?” Well that is another problem; the assumption that there is one “right thing” and that any individual knows what the “wrong thing” for another person is.

We each can only know what is right for us. And we each can only know what is right for us in this now moment. Tomorrow, next week, or next year that right thing may now be the wrong thing and the wrong thing may now be the right thing.

The perfection in life is in our evolution. Evolution comes as we are faced with our previous creations, and we decide what we don’t like, and from that is born greater clarity on what we do want to create. From that point on, we need to focus on what we do want, rather than on blaming and complaining and focusing on what we don’t want.

In the past, for the entire history of mankind it seems, we believed forcing others to do the right thing made our world a better place to live in. Yet, has there ever been a time when we did not see problems in our world, or in the people who inhabit it? Can you see that this belief has never worked?

Forcing others to do something, anything, says to them, “You don’t matter. Your opinions, ideas, beliefs, and desires don’t matter. We know better than you.” Repeated over and over, as a person grows up from a child to an adult, this message is hypnotic and creates low self-esteem in the individual who had different ideas.

People with low self-esteem are not playing with a full deck. They are confused, delusional, needy, angry, violent and insane. Sadly this is most of the people on the planet. They are not people who know what the right thing is for themselves, let alone for other people.

Yet it is precisely these same people, with low self-esteem who are dragging others about by the ears and forcing them to do the “right thing,” merely because they have enough physical power to do so.

A person with true self-esteem, true wisdom, true understanding of life, demonstrates their wisdom in the way they live. Others flock to them to learn their secrets. They are loved in ways that most of us can only dream about being loved. They lead others by their example. And they love others unconditionally.

Yes, unconditional love really does mean loving regardless of the conditions.

Do you know what Nelson Mandela did in prison? He treated his guards, the very people who kept him in prison and even abused him, as real people. He asked them about their families and conversed with them as friends do. He became the president of the very country that imprisoned him.

How about Gandhi? He would rather starve his own body than let the people he loved go on striking back at their abusers. Thus he led a nation to free itself from the tyranny of a foreign government. Millions of people in India got to learn firsthand, by personal experience, that all people matter, no matter what they say or do. The rest of the world got to learn by observing this process.

Jesus Christ forgave the very people who tortured and crucified him. He knew there was no such thing as death and thus he showed us all the impermanence of erroneous thoughts, and the permanence of Truth and Life itself. Two thousand years later we still hold him up as a prime example of what is possible for all of mankind.

To be continued…

I received the following question from one of my blog readers…
“Do you think that we are put on this earth to reproduce certain children or for another purpose and when that is done and over with that God takes us back with him or on to something better?”

My answer is as follows…

There are many reasons that we incarnate into physical form. The first and foremost reason that we take our first incarnation, is so that we can know ourselves as an individual soul amongst all of God’s creations. We still retain our oneness with God and All That Is but we gain an individuated experience, one of comparison of us to all of the rest. The sum total of all of our individual experiences is what makes us unique and what forms the boundaries that seemingly separate us from others. God is made up of all of these individual experiences of Herself and so much more.

This is a game for God, entertainment, something to do with Her creativity and with eternity. This is a way for God to experience Himself. As a single being, which ultimately God is, God has nothing to compare Herself to. But as the myriad of multiple beings, God can choose a single perspective and experience Himself in relationship to the rest of creation. The individual soul is the storage place for those experiences. The multiple souls are the many different perspectives from which God can know Herself.

My late wife Kathryn, the one in my book, died in 1998. She has reincarnated as the daughter (Geethu) of my wife’s sister (born in June 2002). We have all but adopted her legally and have promised to do so as soon as we can. When I was first told this by two different psychics in India I was surprised…but as I consider all of Geethu’s personality traits they are just like Kathryn. It does feel like this is accurate to me.

We do not leave this life until we are ready. You as an ego being may not be aware of your readiness but your soul is…and many people are consciously aware of it. If you choose, you can develop your awareness to the extent that you are consciously aware and even though you may not tell others you will know when you are ready to go.

We hit a state of completion, a state where we have done what we came to do, and it is more than one thing, much more. This body, this ego, is capable of only so much. To have other experiences, we need a different body and a different ego. Have you ever marveled at children and what they can do? Have you ever wished you were born when they were with the resources they have and imagined what more you could do? That is it! WE ARE THE CREATORS OF OUR LIFE AND EXPERIENCE…desire is the way we create.

Read Neale Donald Walsh’s book “Home with God: In a Life that Never Ends” IT WILL BLOW YOU AWAY! I know from my own personal peaks behind the vail that life is FAR BIGGER than we can ever imagine. And I do believe that Neale gets it right at least 98% of the time.

We definitely came here with MANY purposes. Not just one. So do not limit Life in that way.

When I first began speaking to Shyni I was talking in broken English as I had become accustom to speaking with all of the locals that way. But when I asked Shyni a question she replied in very good English which surprised me. It turned out that Shyni spoke six different languages. After that we had an excellent conversation, Shyni was easy to talk to.

Shyni had worked as a nurse for ten years, some of that time she spent in Delhi, which is India’s Capital city. She was highly respected for her work (and now I too understand why), as Shyni told me a few stories of her work life, I was very impressed. She had done many selfless things, like canceling a vacation to help a young man who had a very bad accident. As Shyni was getting ready to leave for that vacation a doctor grabbed her and told her he needed her help in the emergency room. The surgery lasted nine hours. After this young man’s surgery was over, he had no-one else to take care of him and no money, so Shyni canceled her trip and spent the next few weeks nursing him. There was no romance; her actions came from her compassion. Her story brought tears to my eyes and I prayed to God that if she was not destined to be my wife that I find a woman just like her.

When I met Shyni she was just thirty years old which was sixteen years younger than me. And she was very beautiful. Even though I was concerned that this was still too young for me, I decided to get to know her better anyway. Of course Shyni is black, nearly as black as they come. She is a very spiritual woman and has a strong desire to help people. When she told me her birth date, I was happy because I knew it was reasonably compatible. Still I checked the numerology report, which gave a fantastic report. The only thing that the report left in doubt was how compatible we would be sexually, it cautioned us that our sex life might be the challenge for us. I knew I would have no chance to find out for sure before our marriage, so this did concern me just a little bit. In all other ways the report said it was a very good match…a match made in heaven.

The next day I took the report to Shyni and asked her to read it and verify that it fit her personality.

Most people are amazed at the accuracy of these reports; they think I have sent spies out to gather information about them. Even still, a few people don’t feel that the reports are accurate for them, so I wanted to check. Shyni confirmed that the report fit her like a glove, she laughed many times at the things it said because it was so revealing.

All of my life I told myself I would never marry a woman who I had not had sex with. I have met too many women who were not affectionate and not very good sexually. Yet here in India my chances of having any sort of intimacy before marriage seemed extremely remote. I was at the point where I had to decide…do I agree to marry Shyni and stick around to get to know her, or do I leave and never see her again? No one told me those were my choices, but I understood that it was so.

Everything else felt right. Intellectually Shyni fit into my life, but the feelings told me more. I was excited about having this woman as a partner. I felt like I was getting a really good, kind and loving human being for a wife and partner. However, the sexual thing was a very big deal to me. After all I am a Scorpio. By that time in my life I could feel if a woman had the hots for me. I knew with absolute certainly that if a woman wanted me in a sexual way I could feel it. And I was not feeling any sexual energy coming from Shyni.

Finally however, I decided that God would not put me in this situation, or that He would stop me before we committed, if Shyni would have no sexual attraction for me. So I made the commitment. I asked Shyni to marry me and she said yes. At most we had only spent about three hours together before we made our decision.

Shyni’s brother Shyam was the first person I met when I arrived at Shyni’s house that morning. He was working on the front porch on a pair of broken tablas. He shouted out something in Malayalam that I could not understand, and Shyni came to the door. Shyam did not look happy to see me. Actually he scared me just a little; he felt like a protective big brother. It turned out he was eight years younger than Shyni. I met Shyni’s mother. They called her Chechi which meant elder sister. Later I would experience strangers who were younger than Shyni calling her Chechi. Shyni’s mother greated me politely and then went back to her work in the kitchen leaving me to talk with Shyni.

I had met Shyni’s nephew Eju, a cute ten year old boy. I was told he was staying with Shyni, her mother and brother because of the school exams. Once they were finished he was to return to his parent’s house, which was three hours away by bus. After we agreed to get married, Shyni called her Sister, Eju’s birth mother, and told her the good news. Jessy was happy for Shyni and made arrangements for her and her husband Gopal to come to stay with the family in Kumily.

When I first arrived at Shyni’s house, before we had even discussed the numerology report, she gave me some disturbing news. Mohammad, a young Indian man who I knew, had been spying on us as we had our introductory meeting the night before. He was standing just outside of the window of Meena’s home where we were meeting and he was listening in on our conversation. Once I had left, Mohammad burst into their home and started shouting at them all, “What are you doing? Shyni can’t marry him. He is a very corrupt person. He had five wives and he killed them all. He will kill you too.”

I was shocked, but things were beginning to make sense now. I ran into Mohammad right before going to meet Shyni for the first time. He was someone I knew because he was friends with the owners of my home-stay. Also I had rented a motorcycle from him. Since he spoke pretty good English, I asked him to teach me a few Malayalam phrases that I could use in my conversation with Shyni. When Mohammad realized I was going to meet a prospective wife, he asked me, “Are you going to meet Shyni? I know where it is you are going. I know the woman who is arranging this. I am sure it must be Shyni that she is introducing you to. Do not marry her. She is corrupt. She is a very bad woman in this community.” At the time he said this I just blew him off. I knew I could sort out the good from the bad.

I did not understand why anyone would do such a thing, why they would want to interfere. But I was about to embark on a life lesson that still has my head spinning in wonder to this very day.

Why was it that everyone in Shyni’s family was so afraid of Mohammad? How would a motorcycle accident incite him to kidnap my brother-in-law and a family friend? How was it that the lovely couple who owned the home-stay I was sleeping at were involved in Mohammad’s corrupt little world?

Stay tuned to further installments of this story!

I arrived in India on January 8th, 2005. It had only been eight months since I was deported from Australia and I could not wait to get out of the United States again. After living in Australia for five years I knew there was more to see in the world and I did not want to be stuck in a country I had already lived in for 40 years. Been there done that.

I had never wanted to go to India. Many people I had met in Australia had gone there, they loved it…and they ALL reported getting sick while in India. I didn’t want to go to a place where I was guaranteed to get sick. That did not sound like fun to me. But here I was embarking on a journey I thought I would never take.

At the time I gave Paramahansa Yogananda’s book Autobiography of a Yogi the majority of the credit for my about-face-decision to go to India. I had read the book two other times before but at that time it felt more like a fairy tale than anything else. But in August of 2004, less than a year after my first Self-realization experience, I felt drawn to read it again. My Self-realization experience was a gift from God; it was an experience I had no control of and could not create at will. It left me longing for more…Yogananda had reported having such experiences in his book. He went on to describe the practices the he had been learning from his master, the techniques for deliberately achieving that state of Samadhi. Yogananda also described in great detail the feats of many great masters he had encountered who had achieved this state. I got the notion from reading his book that going to India might help me unlock some inner doors. Thus I made the decision to go to this mystical magical place known as India, the land of a million spiritual masters.

How can anyone tell you who God is? How can a church, a religion, or any teacher tell you who or what God is? They can not!. Have they seen Him? Have they talked to Her? Of course not! Not in the physical sense that so many seem to think that God is in.

Our language is not rich enough to put into words the incredible unlimited nature of God. The only thing anyone can do is describe to you how they have come to know and experience God. And even then the fullness and intensity of their experience will be lost in their words.

If you have been reading the various spiritual books on the topic of God and spirituality you may have noticed many inconsistencies or contradictions amongst authors. This includes all books; “The Bible” as well as the huge volume of modern books available to us.

You may have read some books that have been channeled and thought, “Because some spiritual entity is teaching through this author or speaker it must be true.” Then you read another author and find contradictions. How can they both be right?

Please keep in mind that the spiritual truth is given but the channeler (or author) may have blocks, judgments or set ideas about certain topics. These will interfere with accurate channelings. The truth is so much bigger than can be put into words; much of it gets lost as it is condensed down into the limited constructs that we use to communicate with.

You must consider the perspective that the communication is coming from and of the issue being addressed. It would be like a being from another planet trying to describe planet earth from his space ship orbiting the earth or while standing in the desert. The description may be accurate from those perspectives, yet there are many other descriptions that could be given from many other perspectives that are also accurate. How much different would the description be if this being were standing on the ocean floor?

God is everywhere and everything; there is nowhere that God is not. There is nothing outside of God, not even you and I. We exist inside of God; indeed we are a part of God, an inseparable part. There is no part of us that is not God. However, we are at the leading creative edge of God. We are expanding the Universe, we are expanding God, with each and every thought we think and with each new experience we have.

God is not some being that can somehow be perceived standing in some specific spot in creation. God is every single particle of all of creation in each and every dimension. God is the “All That Is.” To describe God is to compare God to something else and that something else is God too! Can you see how difficult it is try to explain God? You must experience God for yourself!

We do have many lifetimes. I am absolutely convinced of this. Some people find this difficult to believe. Why? Is it any more amazing than we exist at all?

I went through a five-year period in my life where I suffered with extremely painful back pains every single night. I tried doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists and massage therapists; I tried more than one of each and found no relief. One day I did a past life regression on myself. That night, no more back pain! And I have not had them since. This was an instant healing!

You can read this amazing story in my Unforgettable: A Love and Spiritual Growth Story. You will also find the story of how my late wife Kathryn healed a twenty-five year loss of smell and a severe skin condition that lasted ten-years…it prevented her from putting her hands in water! All three of these stories were miraculous healings that occurred as a result of becoming aware and changing our thinking! I also expand more on the conclusions my spiritual journey has brought me to in this book.

Your Personal Spiritual Discoveries
I don’t want to convince you of what you should believe about God or spirituality. However, I do want to convince you to reach for your own experience and understanding. I know that when you do get in touch with the vast spiritual being that you are, you will have experiences that will seem miraculous.

The truth is that these miracles are natural. When you shed the false ideas you have been taught all your life and discover for yourself the true nature of your being you will realize that true spirituality is practical, very practical!

You will discover that by using true spiritual principals you can make every action you take count. This beats the widely popular, yet false belief, that working hard and suffering in the hopes of some future gain is a worthy and noble way to live. When you clarify your awareness you may still find yourself working long hours, but they will be inspired hours that fly by. Those hours will infuse you with life force energy and heal any suffering you may have had in your life.

It was a warm and lovely Sunday afternoon, just an hour before dusk actually. I took my kayak out for a stroll around the canals to catch that last magical hour of daylight. This happened when I was living on the Isle of Capri, on the Gold Coast of Australia. Oh how I loved living there. (Go to Google.com and select maps and then search for the address “13 The Lido Isle of Capri Australia” and select the Satellite view to see where I lived and where Paradise Island was. Living there kept me very fit. Kayaking, Rollerblading, Body Surfing!)

The first part of my journey required a bit of effort to paddle against the current in the wide tidal river that connects my canal system to another nearby one. For no more than ten minutes I had to paddle vigorously. After that I got a rest as I took it easy and cruised down a lazy stretch of canal that takes me around Paradise Island.

On this particular occasion I was hot from my big push across the river and really in the mood to kick back and go with the flow. So I lifted my feet and legs up out of the kayak and rested them on the top of the covered section of the kayak.

Lounging in my kayak in this way was not the most stable position to be in; it was easy to tip over because of the weight of my legs on the topside of the kayak. It was very comfortable, but I had to be very careful with each movement I made.

I paddled slowly along this resort-laden stretch of suburbia and enjoyed the sights and the sounds. The sounds were particularly rich this time of the evening. Not only were the birds singing but the sounds of laughter and people on vacation filled the air. This was a resort town.

Then all of a sudden, from my left came the hooting and hollering of a teenage boy on the warpath! It was a bit of a shock and immediately caught my attention. Next came the sound of a metal gate squeaking and slamming closed.

The remaining schoolies in the spa were now chanting, “Go… Go… GO!!!” I knew this Australian youth was after me. I was his prey and he had the look of determination on his face. Based on his physique I quickly surmised that I had no chance of fending him off and he had a very good chance of succeeding in overturning and capsizing me.

My dear reader, what would you have done in this situation? Would you have tried to get away? Would you have attacked him with your paddle? Would you have peed your shorts?

The way I was lounging in my kayak was not conducive to making a quick getaway. I would have flipped myself over if I had tried due to the unstable distribution of my weight on the top part of the kayak. And this lad would have been upon me by the time I got my legs and feet inside of the kayak.

Not only did my options seem limited but I decided I would rather shift this with my energy. I thought, I am NOT a vibrational match to being shoved out of my kayak by some young lad out for a bit of fun and mischief!

So I got a grip on my mind and calmed my racing heart. As this young man rapidly approached my kayak I laughed deep and loud and said to him, “Great idea! You gave me a bit of a fright there for a moment. Please don’t dump me out; I have my mobile phone in here.”

The spunky lad was huffing and puffing but he had heard me. He began looking into my kayak and so I produced my dry bag, which contained my mobile phone. It was safe even if I was dumped into the water, but he did not know that.

Meanwhile his friends were making a lot of noise pushing him to do the dastardly deed. This lad lifted my phone into the air and yelled out, “He has valuables!” There were people on both sides of the canal observing this exchange of energy and waiting for him to dump me.

We talked for a little bit, shook hands and then with one mighty push he sent me on my way.

I reveled in the feeling of exhilaration! I was excited and happy to be alive. I had not been in real danger, but it was thrilling just the same. My heart was pounding and I was grateful to have had such an encounter with this young being.

I thought about how different it could have turned out. I marveled at how powerful our energy can be. I knew without a doubt that I had commanded that situation by being firm and clear in my intention.

When I got home and shared this story with my new housemates, a couple of Australian women, they were shocked to find out that the boy did not turn me over. Knowing Aussie lads the way they do, they figured it was a sure thing.

You see, when you take control of your mind and your vibration you take control of your entire life! You become safe because you will feel when you are in danger. You will know what actions to take and when to take them.

There have been times when I ignored messages that could have saved me trouble, but there have NOT been times (in the last few years) when I missed the messages altogether. Most of the time I either miss trouble without a (physical) clue it was ever there, or watch it move past me while being grateful for having such a clear connection to my guidance system.

You must know that it has not always been this way for me. I used to have experiences that were quite painful and difficult and no clue as to how they came about. These are skills that anyone can learn…even you dear reader. So I encourage you to continue to put the lessons I am teaching in these blogs to use and to follow up by asking questions in the comments of these blogs, or privately by email.

P.S. Check out my post titled Is Your Past Real for another story of how I staved off danger by changing my mind and energy!

I have had the pleasure to listen in on at least four hundred different channeled coaching sessions offered by more than five different channelers. They all have one thing in common. The entity being channeled did not listen to every minute detail of the problem. The client would be cut off within a short time and counseled on clarifying their energy.

I used to get upset when I, or someone else was cut off while describing all the gory details of the problem. I thought it was necessary; how could these entities know how to solve this problem without the details? The outside events seem so real and seem to need a solution designed specifically for it.

The solution to all problems is the same. Turn your focus away from the problem and towards anything else that feels good. Most people find this too simplistic and don’t even give this a real try or they are not in touch with their own feelings enough to know what feeling good feels like.

It takes practice. You have old habits of tolerating pain and discomfort. To break a habit and establish a new one takes deliberate effort. If you don’t understand how something will help you then you are unlikely to put effort into trying. This is why the depth teaching is necessary. This is why books written by people who have mastered these life skills are essential reading to anyone who seeks to grow past the challenges they face in their life.

Once you do turn your attention to something that feels better the Universe is free to sort out your problem for you. When you need to get involved your Source will let you know and guide you to the actions you need to take. But you have to be in touch with your feelings and become aware of what you are thinking to follow this guidance.

In my own life I no longer allow myself to dwell on those minute details either. The progress I have made since I ceased this activity has accelerated tremendously. The focus of the counseling I do is the same. It breaks the traditional counseling model of sitting and listening to the client for an hour and giving very little advice. That only keeps the client stuck in the vibration of the problem.

Even traditional hypnotherapy sessions hold the same pitfalls. They take the client to the origination of the problems and stir up the old feelings for the purpose of expressing and releasing them. They are not released! They have only been brought back to life.

This is a vibrational universe; everything is matched up by vibration. Discussing the problem only adds more energy to it and draws more experiences that match this vibration to those involved in the discussion. We want solutions, not more problems.

When I was thirty years old I read a book that told me how people just want to be heard. They did not want you to solve their problems for them; they just needed a compassionate ear to listen.

Okay, I can understand how this helps the individual feel worthy and important because someone is willing to listen. But that is only teaching them to get undivided attention by talking about problems. In other words you are asking the Universe to deliver you more problems so that you can talk about them in order to receive attention.

One of the reasons that listening was perceived to be better than offering solutions was that too many people were offering solutions from the wrong perspective. They too believed that the problem existed in the outside world and the solutions they offered were about doing battle with the problem. The person with the problem was only receiving statements that told them how they were doing the wrong thing and they should have done such-and-such instead.

We do create our reality through the attractive nature of our vibration. By being aware of the vibrations we are creating with our thoughts and attention we really can create the reality we want. This is where our power lies, and it is a very real power indeed.

It is important to assure the client that they are worthy, lovable and perfect the way they are. There is nothing wrong with them and this is one of the keys. They may have habits of thoughts and actions that need to be changed, but they are simply life skills that need to be practiced and learned such that new habits of thought are formed. It never ends, we never run out of time to try again and improve on our last attempts.

Is sexuality spiritual? So many religions and cultures would have you think not. Yet probably most people reading this forum would disagree. The talk is pretty open on it.

From my own personal experience in life I have come to the understanding and wisdom that sexuality is indeed spiritual. In fact all of Life is spiritual, because it all springs forth from spirit. Sexuality is one of our soul’s biggest reasons for incarnating into physical human form.

So why do masters preach abstinence? Why do religions make it taboo? Well, if you are paying attention and reading the vast volume of profound spiritual material that is available these days you will know that masters will speak of both relationships and celibacy as a path to God.

It depends upon the person, what experiences are next for them, the desires of their soul, and the desires of the ego physical human body. If you have a strong desire, you must either fulfill it or discipline it out of yourself. It is easiest if desire is never created, but once it is, it is often easier if it is fulfilled than to try to tame it back and cut it off. And all too often it is the deep desire of the soul which must be fulfilled at some point in time and space.

As a being evolves and has enough experience with their sexual desires over many lifetimes, those desires are fulfilled and celibacy becomes natural. The being learns that the physical relationship is actually depleting compared with what he/she could be doing with that same time and energy. It is not that the pleasure of sexuality is gone; it is still very much enjoyed. But the need for it is gone and there are other goals that require that energy.

You know how when you want something really badly, and it is expensive, you decide you can do without certain things, you can cut back. Even though you like those things, you want this other thing so much more. And what happens is God gives people a taste. An experience of Self-Realization. They get a glimpse and true remembrance of the fact that they are God, they are one with Everything, and that they created Everything. It is so beautiful, and so addicting, that they will give anything to have it.

And so they are motivated to stretch and to reach and to practice. If a person is so lucky, has advanced enough in their personal spiritual growth, they have such an experience. It is the push, the motivation, to reach for that state. The practices become known to them and the effort begins. Thus they have no time or energy for sexuality. It becomes a distraction rather than a pleasure.

This is why abstinence is taught. Abstinence is not meant for those who are not ready for it. But there are plenty of people who do not understand the teachings of the masters and they go about preaching and creating religions with only half understood truths. Also there are too many people who want to know God so badly, they want a taste of divine union so badly, that they think if they imitate the masters, and remain celibate, that they will achieve the same level of awareness quickly. For most this does not happen, they only frustrate themselves, especially when they break their vows.

So it is time to go within, and decide for yourself whether you are meant to fulfill your sexual desires or if you are over it. There is no right or wrong as a rule. Do not let others dictate how appropriate your sexual expression is. There is only right or wrong for you. Feel your feelings, understand the thoughts that are at the root of those feelings, and go with the thoughts and feelings that bring you joy and love. In this way you will bring clarity into your life and your sexuality.

In regards to solving the really big issues in your life…are you asking the wrong question?

The problem with getting clear guidance is that you could very well be asking the wrong question. You have a goal and that goal is really far out there. It is very far removed from what you believe is possible. The thought of reaching for that goal is so impossible that you don’t even want to try.

So your question should not be, “How do I get to that goal?” You are not clear enough to receive the complete plan. Your question should be, “What is the next step for me in becoming a vibrational match to that goal?”

Then you feel your way and take a step, always in the direction towards something that feels good, in the direction of your goal. It can be any step that feels good. It may even be the smallest step possible. It may even be that you chill out and go out for a day of play. But you do it and you reach to be happy and content with where you are.

The next step after that is to do it again…and again…and again…until your goal is in sight. You keep taking such steps until your goal is the next logical step. Until it is so close that you can see it and reach out and touch it.

This is when you shall have it, when the answer is so obvious that it no longer seems like a miracle.

After having it for a little while you may find yourself stopping to wonder, “Why did this seem so impossible to me before?”
