Your Healing Assignment
Like I said earlier, enlightenment is simplicity itself. Living a good, happy, joyful and peaceful life is simple. It only seems difficult due to the programming we have. These habitual thought patterns take us down the wrong path. In most cases you don’t even question them. If you read my blogs you will see MANY people object to what I teach. They tell me they have “different beliefs” than I do…For the most part I AM NOT TEACHING BELIEFS! I am teaching what I KNOW. Belief is not knowledge. So what these people are really saying is, “I have beliefs that conflict with truth. I choose to remain in my beliefs and refuse to explore the possibility that I can attain knowledge or that I can move past belief to knowing the true nature of life.” But if your life sucks or if it is not going how you want it to in even the most minor of ways, isn’t it time to open up and explore something that is different than your beliefs? Perhaps it is your beliefs that are wrong. Don’t be insulted…investigate. TRY SOMETHING NEW.
For example, in my blog What is Right or Wrong? Your Feelings are Your Guide! many people disagreed with what I had written. There was more disagreement than the comments you see in the blog itself since I received private emails about it too. But this is a very simple thing to prove for yourself. Is there any harm in trying an experiment in your own mind and life to see if my words are true or not? Or are you attached to being right and attached to your beliefs?
Experiments You Can Try
Sit down and think about a relaxing place in nature. Imagine yourself there, enjoying the sounds and the smells…how does it feel? Does it feel good to you? Then imagine someone being abused or raped. How does that feel? As you can see the feelings are different based on different thoughts. Your thoughts do tell you the quality of your thoughts.
Then imagine that you are going about your normal life. Perhaps you generally feel good. You are involved in sports, work family, all is well for the most part. Then you hear from a good friend or relative that someone you love dearly died three days ago, it was a tragic accident while away on vacation in the wilderness and it took three days to get back to civilization to report the accident. All of a sudden you are suffering from the news and the grief. But why didn’t you suffer three days ago when it actually happened? It is because your mind just now became aware and your mind has thoughts about death that cause you to suffer. If you were more psychically aware you may have picked up on this incident when it happened and because of that it would trigger the same worrisome thoughts and a general feeling of grief and despair. But the feelings are telling you about your thoughts about what happened in the life of someone you loved.
Start paying attention to your feeling when you interact with others. Focus on other people. Listen to them. Let go of your thoughts about them and what they say and just feel how that other person feels. How does it feel? Then compare that with your experience of them over time. As time passes you should be able to recognize the connection. When a person says nice things to you but it feels bad and then later you find out they were lying or setting you up to be cheated in some way you will know why the bad feelings came. Or perhaps they say they are fine but inside you feel they are hurting and later you find out their husband had been cheating on them. This is an experiment with feeling others and then comparing it to the outcomes once you have that information.
An experiment in choosing the best option…so you have a choice to make, which one do you choose? Bring yourself to a good feeling place. To do that remember something that feels good to you, being in nature, playing with your children, being with your lover, whatever it is that makes you feel good. Then when you are feeling free and relaxed think about your various choices one at a time. Follow the path one choice will lead you down and see how it feels. Then follow the path of each of the choices, how do they each feel. Don’t get too intellectual and start thinking, I don’t know how I will have the money or the time or the skills or any such thoughts. Just feel what it would be like if the things you needed were there to support each path. Then choose the best feeling path. Observe over time how it works out. You should find that good feelings guide you to the correct path and that bad feelings warn you of the difficulties to come. You are tuning into a higher guidance in this case.
These are the sorts of thing you can pick up with your feelings. They tell you about the quality of your thoughts or the thoughts of others. Feeling good connects you with God and your own Higher Self. Feeling bad is an indication of separation from God or your own Higher Self. So you can experiment with these things in time and prove to yourself if what I am teaching is true or not. Don’t just limit yourself to “I don’t believe that.”
In order to shift from struggling to get through life to loving life you must change your habits of thought. To do so you must hang out with different influences. You can do this in the form of books and movies. And certainly you should be careful of the people you choose to hang out with. Cut loose the relationships with those who do not feel good to be around.There is nothing wrong with this. Those people might tell you there is, but if you are really desperate then you should be willing to take desperate measures. You can always welcome those people back into your life at a later time when you are stronger and have excess energy to cope with them and their games. Perhaps they too will change for the better in that time and the reunion will be a joyful one.
Yes, I have given you a lot of blogs to read. And certainly over time more will come from me and others whose wisdom you respect. Take your time. Read a little each day. And below you will find more reading assignments for your health and wellbeing in the form of book recommendations. In the Golden Compass blog you will find recommendations for movies. Hang out in this different environment for awhile, I am talking years, and you will find that you do indeed change. Make it your intention to change, to grow, to heal, to come in touch with the real you, the you that is One with God and All That Is.
Book Recommendations…
Entertaining Biographical Stories I personally like stories about the lives of masters that also contain wisdom the best because of the entertainment value that goes with the wisdom.
Unforgettable: A Love and Spiritual Growth Story by Michael Skowronski. Yes this is my own book. It gives my own real life examples of how I grew from being a somewhat dysfunctional person into being a much more aware and compassionate person. There is much honesty in this story of how I thought and how those thoughts were creating my reality. It may leave you feeling naked and exposed, because I am sure you will find yourself relating to the thoughts I have thought and you will realize how such thoughts can damage your relationship with others. Of course there is much wisdom offered about thinking and actions that will improve your life too. It is a true story and full of emotion and miracles. Yes actual physical healing miracles occurred in my life and in the life of my late wife Kathryn.
The Magus of Strovolos, Fire in the Heart, and Homage to the Sun all by Kyriacos C. Markedes this is an awesome trilogy about a Greek Mystic who performed many healing miracles and adeptly describes life in the other dimensions.
Autobiography of a Yogi by Paramahansa Yogananda. This is filled with stories of masters of India and the amazing miracles they performed. There are many stories of overcoming death, as in raising others from the dead. The first time I read this book I loved it but wondered if it were true. These days I have no doubt because over the years since I read that book I learned to live the wisdom it contains and have created many profound miracles in my life as a result. These are not the stories of a superstitious uninformed man. These are the stories of a man who has experienced a life we are all evolving toward.
Living with the Himalayan Masters, by Swami Rama
Walking With a Himalayan Master by Justin O’Brien
At the Eleventh Hour: The biography of Swami Rama by Pandit Rajmani Tigunait
Swami Rama died in 1996. He was a very powerful Yogi and like Yogananda also relates his first hand experiences with fantastic miracles over nature and life and death itself. Swami Rama was an intelligent, well educated and articulate man who himself conquered death and proved his amazing miraculous powers to modern scientists in many controlled laboratory experiments. He himself has written many books on the science of yoga that are also well worth reading, however they are too numerous to mention here. They can easily be found by searching the internet.
Books purely on the topic of spirituality, all these are channeled, I recommend…
Planetary Brother, I Come as a Brother, Reflections of an Elder Brother by BARTHOLOMEW as well as the other books by BARTHOLOMEW
Conversations with God I, II & III as well as At Home With God in a Life that Never Ends by Neale Donald Walsch
I have read and recommend Kryon books 1-3 & 6-11
Messages from Michael by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
A Course in Miracles by Jesus Christ as channeled by Helen Schucman
By the time you run out of these I am sure there will be more recommendations from me posted. I also expect some of my friends will post some recommended reading material in the comments below.
You can heal yourself and you can have a life that is beautiful and meaningful. Don’t let your current level of insanity and suffering stop you. Begin now, right where you are. Take it slowly. Take it one step at a time. But do the work each day and do not stop until you are clear in your heart and your mind that you are loveable, capable, and filled with wisdom.
Love and Blessings,
