If there is something that you desire and it is not coming to you ...

If there is something that you desire and it is not coming to you, it always means the same thing. You are not a vibrational match to your own desire.

...To say you don't know isn't always easy.

Mike McConnell, former Director of National Intelligence, described the principles of how to arrive at good intelligence 17 years ago while serving under Colin Powell.“I have a rule,” General Powell told him. “As an intelligence officer, your responsibility is to tell me what you know; tell me what you don’t know; then you’re allowed to tell me what you think. But always keep those three things separate. ”This was a profound concept to me. Most of us take what we think and turn it into what we know.When we give out information, it’s important to separate it into what we know, what we don’t know, and what we think. Sometimes it’s hard to say what we don’t know. Our egos don’t like us to be in the dark. It takes a very smart, very responsible person to distinguish between these three areas.We need to know our strengths, weaknesses, and what we think we can do. One reason for botched communication is we don’t separate between these three things. You’ve got to keep them separate from the beginning. Then you’ll be a more valuable leader, follower, and friend. No matter who is working with you, under you, or above you - as long as you have someone who needs to report to you and/or you to them - be sure to share what’s known, what’s unknown, and what’s perceived. It will help alleviate expectations and allow the flow of communication to be clearer.Ideas don’t make us experts. Awareness does. The work may seem difficult, but the point is simple. To say you don’t know isn’t always easy. But it can solve the big problems that happen when people make what they think into what they know.

Why are people in ancient spiritual stories always going somewhere?

Why are people in ancient spiritual stories always going somewhere? The message for humanity is that when we go out of ourselves, our comfort, our nature, our selfish desires - we begin our true spiritual journey. We go out in order to get into our greatness.

The Highest Happiness

True happiness is the highest form of self-sacrifice. There, in that state, there is no sense of self —not even awareness that you are happy. True happiness is somewhere beyond "knowing". Beyond self.

All the more so when you bring joy to others.

"Do you have to change your vibration on a particular subject in order to let it in?"

"Do you have to change your vibration on a particular subject in order to let it in?" No, you don't. You could pet your pet and let it in. You could sit with your feet dangling in the bay, and let it in. If it is a subject that you often think of in an attitude of resistance, it is really worthwhile reaching for some thoughts that feel better. You could launch an intention and never think about it again, and the Universe would yield it to you. You don't have to clean up your vibration relative to anything, if you can just not think about it any more. That's why we teach meditation. It's easier to teach you to have no thought than to have pure positive thought. When you quiet your mind you stop thought; when you stop thought you stop resistance; when you stop resistance--then you are in a state of allowing.

L'écriture est comme la parole

« L'écriture est comme la parole : un moyen puissant de transmettre une idée, une conviction, une beauté. Elle permet de toucher l'autre, d'entrer en son être pour y déposer un présent. L'écriture est magique. Elle déclenche des forces, agit sur les influences gouvernant les destinées. C'est pourquoi l'écriture doit être consciente et s'inscrire dans un ordre, une harmonie, une discipline transcendant le simple fait de contrôler son geste pour former des caractères. Il est utile de redonner à l'écriture sa noblesse et d'explorer sa dimension sacrée. Alors c'est l'homme lui-même qui connaîtra une nouvelle dignité dans sa vie. »

The tree is found in most spiritual traditions as a symbol for the universe

"The tree is found in most spiritual traditions as a symbol for

the universe. All creatures have a role to play on this tree,

anywhere from the roots to the fruits, including the trunk, the

branches, the leaves and the flowers. Everything that exists, all

activities, all realms find their place on the tree of life.

At different times of the year, the leaves, flowers and fruits

fall from the tree; they decompose and become humus, which is

gradually absorbed by the roots. It is the same with beings. When

human beings die, they return to the primeval earth, but soon

they reappear in some part of the tree. Nothing is lost, beings

are forever disappearing and reappearing on the cosmic tree of

life. "

If you intend to be of assistance

f you intend to be of assistance, your eye is not upon the trouble but upon the assistance, and that is quite different. When you are looking for a solution, you are feeling positive emotion— but when you are looking at a problem, you are feeling negative emotion.

Completion

At a certain point, each of us, through all our many journeys through life, will have found and redeemed all the Divine sparks in our share of the world. Then the darkness that holds such mastery, such cruelty, such irrational evil that it cannot be elevated—all this will simply vanish from its place, like a puff of steam in the midday air.

All that we salvaged and used for good, on the other hand, will shine with a tremendous light beyond even the light of the Godly realm. The world will have arrived.

Desire summons Life Force

Desire summons Life Force. If we must continue to be alive, we must continue to have new desire. You are not willing to let yourself outrageously want because when you outrageously want something that you haven't found a way of getting, it is too uncomfortable, and the risk feels too great. We're wanting you to hear that there is no risk at all! Fantasize and watch what happens.
