Perfection Can Be Dysfunction

Let’s have a little fun by looking into the concept and nature of perfection. Probably a good place to start is to define what the word perfection means and then go from there. There are as many definitions as there are dictionaries, however for our purposes we will use the definition that perfection implies completeness, that which is faultless, or that in which there is no lack. Actually that is a pretty good definition of GOD, come to think about it.

Many thoughts have been entertained and words spoken regarding the idea of achieving perfection in various areas of life, so let’s look closely at the idea of perfection and consider the true implications of achieving a “perfect world."

Firstly, without a “common reality” that was perfect, everyone would be subject to their own personal concept of perfection,... which would result in as many different versions of perfection, as there are people.

With such a large variance in the state of perfection, it would lose it’s identifying characteristics, and become a giant collage of individually preferred states of being,...some of which would be quite unappealing to other people.

In order then for there to be a state of perfection here on earth, that every one could support, it must therefore become a single state of being, common to every one. Now what would that state of perfection be like?

Well for starters, you could kiss the concept of beauty goodbye! Beauty, along with many other concepts we value, depend on the comparison of one thing to another. Concepts such as greater or lesser than, disappear in a perfect world, and are replaced by the ideas such as sameness and oneness.

When something is created perfect, that implies that it can’t be improved upon, it is at the absolute pinnacle of it’s potential and development, and so any duplication of that which is perfect, implies “exact” duplication, because anything else is automatically of a lessor and inferior nature unless it “could” be improved upon, in which case it would not qualify as being perfect, according to our definition.

In a perfect world the duality we see all around us would be replaced with unity and sameness. In this perfect world, there would suddenly be one perfect version of everything. Every species of plant, bird and animal life would all become perfect and as such,... identical.

Even people would have to fall into that category, for in the creation of anything there is only one perfect outcome, not many.

On second glance, perfection seems to lose much of it’s luster when you consider what you might have to accept in a perfect world.

For instance, there could be no diversity of thoughts amongst individuals. Diversity invites comparison, which is only possible when that which is being compared is different in some respect. Comparison implies a greater or lesser state of existence, function, or being, which can not exist in a perfect world.

God is perfect, because there is nothing outside of GOD, which can be used as a comparison. As soon as GOD created a spiritual reality, then duality was created in turn. All parts became less than the whole from which they were derived, and at the same time, became (possibly), lesser or greater parts when compared to each other.

Now any spiritual creation which is equal and perfect, cannot totally achieve the purpose for which it was created, and that purpose was diversity,... for the purpose of exploring and expanding consciousness and creation.

Diversity amongst the perfect then, can only be achieved by causing that which is perfect to forget it’s true identity, then by placing it in a reality where it can experience a life filled with diversity, it is able to create in a manner of it’s choice. Creating in this manner relieves boredom, creates wisdom based on experience, and encourages high vibrational concepts, thoughts and actions.

In conclusion, I feel it’s very safe to say that the only true state of perfection, can be achieved through a reunification with GOD, as it was in the beginning. However, since GOD has seen fit to create things as they are, then perfection must be highly over rated.

“Diversity” is the perfection, of which we are all unaware, and unappreciative of! Let us then revel in the imperfection all around us, that allows for “all possibility to exist," and not just that which appeals to the trained or educated mind.

Free Will

Free will,... what is it? I just watched a video where the person speaking held the position that free will is an illusion. Now this person had an education, and was trying to beat his audience into intellectual submission with it. His whole position for his theory was based in physical reality. Obviously from his point of view, if a person could see, touch, taste or smell something, then it had validity.

Here is my response to the question of "is free will an illusion?"

People are self aware. We can think about what we are thinking about!

What is the mechanism of thought that gives us the ability to think? It is our consciousness. The brain does not think. It facilitates the activity of thought, by translating physical sensory data, as well as light, into electrical impulses which become either immediately utilized, or stored in the brain, to be activated later as memories. The brain works much like a computer. However a computer doesn't think.

Consciousness allows you to think, and in the process gives you the ability to ask questions about your environment, such as "Is free will an illusion?"

Where does your consciousness come from? Well,... it's "not" your consciousness you're using. Your consciousness along with everyone else's, is an individualized part of a singular consciousness, belonging to the creator of all life.

Each of us has been given the gift of self awareness, and we are sharing in the consciousness of the intelligence which created us. This is why GOD knows our every thought, and there can be no secrets from HER.

To say then, that you "think" there is no GOD, means that you are thinking, without giving any thought as to the mechanism of how you are thinking, or to what thought is in the first place. In effect then, you are using GODS tools, to draw the conclusion that there is no GOD!

Is free will an illusion? My answer is that your free will is always relative to the will of your creator. This means that you have free will, within the reality where your creator has placed you. This reality has it's own laws, some of which, can not be violated or amended by people in any way.

Thus a short concise answer would be to say that, whatever GOD wants,... is, and whatever she doesn't want, doesn't happen. Therefore, if you are doing something, then it must be by "your" will that you are doing it, and the fact that you are doing it, tells you that you are free to do so. 

Let us be clear however, that just because you "can" do something, doesn't mean that you've made the vibrationally highest choice.

My personal opinion is that all potential outcomes must at some point be explored, in order for human experience to become complete. This means experiencing both the good and the bad.

By the way, it took me the better part of my life to realize that emotion always rules over logic. And that just annoys the hell out of most people with a logical mind (well it annoyed "me" anyway!). 

P.S. The fact that you can interact with a spiritual being who doesn't have a physical brain, should be validation enough that thought does not initiate within physical reality.

Opinion

Every one has the right to their own opinions, thoughts and beliefs,... right?

Thoughts however, don't just stop at the level of the mind. They eventually find outward expression through action, which we label as behavior. And so as a people, we have agreed to honor your right to think and believe low vibrational thoughts. Yet we take exception to your outward expression of those thoughts, when they inflict suffering on us.

Would it not be better to tell people who hold low vibrational beliefs that they are wrong? At least we wouldn't be displaying hypocritical behavior with regards to this issue.

It is likely that people who are wrong, don't know their wrong, and would probably take offense to being corrected.

What is right and wrong anyway? Well there really isn't any, which is what makes this topic so tough. There is however an energetic, vibrational aspect to everything, including thought.

Thus an opinion is a thought, and all thoughts can be classified according to their vibrational nature, which is a fixed reality, not open to speculation or opinion. A specific vibration is classified according to it's magnitude, frequency and duration, and therefore is very definable.

There is only one highest vibrational state of thought, speech and action, and it is equal to the reality of love as it is defined by the creator. Every other vibrational aspect of life is some lesser version in vibrational form, of that reality which we call love.

Therefore everything in life vibrates to some lesser version of the energy which is our source.

Now instead of saying "your wrong," we could say, "is that a very loving way to think or act?" This is a very powerful question which will probably cause that person to connect more closely to their higher self, instead of their ego self.

Of course this is just my opinion, and if I'm wrong, "I don't want to hear about it!"

Forgiveness

Sanora, are you there?

Yes, greetings my son, we are here for you now, a bit of a wild day out there, is it not?

Yes, I thought we were all done with winter, but I was wrong.

How then, might we be of service to you today my son?

We have discussed the idea of forgiveness before, but I was wondering if we could touch upon it one more time for the benefit of this forum?

Certainly, we would be delighted to do what we can, that we may expand your understanding in the area which you have made inquiries about.

Firstly, let us start this topic with the understanding that there are multiple levels of reality, in that, which we call creation, whose characteristics are vibrationally based.

And so we are first establishing an understanding that, just as there exists knowledge of which you are not aware within this third dimension of reality, so too does there exist other realities of which you are unaware, while you are in this level of existence.

What this means then, is that, as you are living your life within this dimension, feeling subject to all its rules and beliefs, you will be living a life of self-imposed limitation, in order that you might maximize your physical experience within this reality.

Now this limitation which we are speaking of, has to do with the memory lapse which each individual undergoes when they enter the physical earth plane environment. This is the “fall” which we have refereed to so many times before, and it was devised in order that you might become totally immersed in this reality, and have a genuine experience here, instead of just skating along on the surface of life.

This of course leaves every one at a great disadvantage when it comes to thinking or acting at the level of your true self. 

And so we are saying here that, physical reality by its very nature is vibrationally low, and that in order to exist as a reality here, you must lower your own vibrational state of being in order to be able to interact with all that vibrates at this level.

Therefore, for the purposes of this discussion we will say that there exists for each person, two levels of knowledge. There is all the accumulated knowledge available on the earth plane, and there is all the knowledge which exists outside of the earth plane.

The understanding and acceptance of the concept of forgiveness then, is dependent on which vibrational level of awareness you are occupying at the moment. The ego is the creator and ruler of this lower dimension. It is the “I”, while GOD is the “I AM.”

Your ego remains hidden to you most of the time, allowing you to believe that you are directing your every move in life. Only when you are asked to do something that requires you to be in a very high vibrational state of mind (such as that required by the idea and execution of forgiveness) can you clearly see the ego move to the forefront of your thinking, and realize who and what is truly pushing all your buttons!

Your ego will not directly overrule you, because it wants to remain a hidden entity to you. From this hidden place within your mind it can then subtly exert its control. Now we are not saying here that your ego is the “devil”, (because of course one does not exist in the way that you have been taught). What we are saying is that, your ego is a natural part of your mind, which is so separated from its higher self, that it is continually in a survival frame of mind, and is very paranoid.

With regards to forgiveness then, your logical ego mind will subtly say to you “ okay, we have had done a terrible wrong done to us, and if we are going to forgive, what is the justification?” If you are then unable to come up with logical reason to support your intended actions, you will maintain your current emotional position with regards to that which you are desiring to forgive.

Forgiveness is based in the knowledge that there is a hidden aspect to life which is spiritual in nature. It is a higher vibrational reality, and is perpetuated by higher levels of thought and action (for the most part). Jesus talked a lot about faith, and said to “be in the world, not of it.” Meaning that the ego “believes” it rules this world, while the creator “actually” rules this world and everything outside of it.

Faith then is “belief without knowledge”, which you will not totally remember while you are in this environment. Much high level understanding has been left with humanity so that they would not be left totally without guidance. Much of it has over time, been corrupted by the ego, so that it has now become a task of sorting out truth from fiction.

This has been hard for most people to do, and so there has been a tendency for people to give up trying to sort out fact from fiction, and just accept all sacred wisdom in the form in which it currently exists, knowing that the truth must be in there somewhere.

Of course this has had the effect of mixing the vibrationally high, with the vibrationally low, resulting in the behaviors and beliefs which now are working themselves out in your world on a daily basis.

Each of you are infinite, eternal, indestructible aspects of source energy, which are totally incapable of being damaged or violated in the truest sense of the word.
 

Whether you believe that Jesus was the author of the book “A course In Miracles” or not, the author correctly expressed a sublime truth when they said:

Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of GOD.

In this world all that occurs which might require forgiveness, occurs as a result of the ignorance of each persons true nature and potential. Forgiveness then is a choice based in faith, not to perpetuate that ignorance any further.

The idea of forgiveness then is based in the faith that a higher benevolent power has always been in control of this world, and that the nature of that power is love.

Forgiveness is a very high vibrational action whose purpose is always geared to achieving the highest good of everyone. Therefore when it comes to justifying your act of forgiveness to the ego you can be assured that you are engaged in an activity that has the highest potential outcome for every person involved.

And after all,... isn't that what you really want? Many more thoughts could be added to what has been expressed here, however, we have touched on most of the important points, and created enough food for thought for your average person, therefore, we will conclude this talk.

Have we served you well my son?

Yes that was great Sanora, thank you so much.

You're most welcome. Peace, love, and joy, unto you and yours.

Special Relationships

What I am going to say may ruffle a lot of feathers with those of you who are hopeless romantics and still looking for Mr. or Mrs. right.

Lets look at the idea of “specialness” in human relationships, and see where this goes. My definition of specialness would be that hierarchy of love and devotion, which people place on, or extend to other individuals.

We have structured our world into countries, cities, friends, the family unit, and marriage partners. And so we have come to feel and view that our blood relatives are the most important and special people in our lives, while everyone else occupies a lesser place in a descending order of importance and quality of love.

This is the way it has been since the dawn of time when people grouped themselves into clans and tribes for their mutual safety and comfort. Of course there have been low vibrational attitudes and emotions which have been around an equal length of time, so I don't believe that longevity is really a true indicator of higher values and truth.

Specialness feels wonderful when you are in receipt of it because it is based in love, however specialness is a two edged sword, in that the only way that anyone could be the “most” special to you, would be by having others “less” special to you. This is what allows the idea of specialness to exist. It is just another version of contrast (duality), which we use to experience our environment and define our experiences.

When you replace the word special with the word love, you are being more honest and open. Now you are saying “I love this person more than that person,” or not at all in some cases.

It is understandable that those whom you spend the most time with, begin to occupy a very important place in your life, especially if they are dependent on you for their day to day existence. What we are saying here is that specialness has developed partially because of the natural order of things, such as with a mother and her children, and partly out of pure preference.

One significant reason that certain people may feel very special to you may be due to your continual involvement with them during your many incarnations. Both you and they may have had any number of encounters of varying depth and importance, that will result in an often unexplainable attraction or repulsion, to those same people.

When we look at the idea of specialness I certainly do not want you to get the idea that you are doing anything wrong by expressing your love for someone. However, lets be clear that there is a vast difference between expressing your love for “someone,” and expressing your love for “everyone.” Specialness falls short of being a true high vibrational concept, because it limits love by degree and in number. Specialness is one of those human systems of thought developed by the ego, that keeps us bound to lower levels of thought and action.

That very special person you fall in love with and marry today, becomes the same person you can't wait to separate yourself from tomorrow, and so we say in all cases such as these, what purpose can specialness be serving, except your own needs in the moment.

In my opinion the purpose of relationships is so that we can explore the nature and meaning of love, thereby continually expanding and raising our understanding to a continually higher vibrational level.

You may have heard the term “unconditional love.” It is amusing however to see people applying unconditional love only to certain people, and under certain conditions!

When you are being selective in how you love, and with whom you extend love, you are expressing just a partial representation of your truest self. But hey, who am I kidding, we all do it, and most often at the subconscious level.

My own personal opinion is that “real” love never dies. There is no one you ever “really” loved, who you don't love now. Love is eternal, and if it is not, then you are feeling and expressing something else other than love.

The idea of specialness then, is representative of the ego's inability to extend love to every person fully and equally. It is one of the ego's better concepts, but the idea is still far from being the highest choice anyone could make with regards to relationships.

If you have gleaned out of this discourse that GOD extends unconditional love to every one equally, you would be correct. Thus it is true to say that no person has any more value, or is more special in the eyes of GOD than anyone else.

This is not to say that GOD might not use someone or many people, as a means to fulfill his will, and down through history this has been the case, causing humanity to believe that just because certain people were selected to play a particular role, that those same people must have heightened value. That is an inaccurate assumption.

Now I will say that if today is your birthday, then that definitely makes you special, and you should let people spoil you rotten!

The idea of expanding our definition of love to include others equally, and thereby move away from the idea of specialness, is what every spiritual master has had to do. Of course in the doing, this has also separated them from the rest of humanity at the level of thought and belief. For some of us the rewards don't seem to be in proportion to the effort we must extend, and so we say to ourselves “ what harm can there be in hanging with, and thinking like your friends?”

Remember that phrase,... it is the mantra of the ego!

In conclusion then, I will say that if you think on this deeply, you may feel that you don't want to let the idea of specialness go, because it feels so good when you are in receipt of it. At those times it might serve you well to remember the heartbreak you felt, when you found out that you were no longer special.

This emotional roller coaster can be very disruptive to peoples lives, but it is there to teach us that there is a better way to live.

I hope that I haven't devalued all the romantic people out there, however the message was not about doing away with love, on the contrary, it is about increasing your ability to love, by getting ride of your self imposed limitations as to what love is, and who deserves it.

Thanks for listening.

Emotions

Sanora are you there?

Yes greetings my son. How are you on this most glorious of mornings?

Very well thank you.

Wonderful, how then might we be of service to you today?

Sanora we discussed emotions the other day, however we were interrupted and didn't complete that talk. May I broach that subject again?

Certainly my son. We will revisit it as many times as you feel it is necessary, in order that you might come to a full understanding of that particular aspect of creation.

Now if I understand you correctly, the question which you are seeking clarification about is, where do emotions originate from?

Firstly let us look at the possible sources from which your emotions could arise. The first and most obvious source would be, "yourself." One must of course make a distinction between experiencing emotion, and being the source of that emotion because they are not the same thing. Thought eventually manifests itself into physical reality which may then be experienced physically, and which eventually culminates in an emotional experience of a specific vibrational nature and frequency.

The ideas and beliefs which arise out of that experience then, will have a vibrational frequency that can span the whole vibrational spectrum from high to low. Also, anyone else who may have a very similar experience to yours, will not necessarily have the same emotional experience, due to the possible difference in beliefs which were formulated by that person, out of that experience.

What we are saying then, is that the exact same experience is capable of creating two different emotional outcomes, within two different people, due to their thoughts and beliefs about what they have just experienced. Therefore, different beliefs about the nature of the world, create different emotional responses toward ones environment.

Another point of consideration is that, the activation of past memories can be emotional triggers, which are capable of bringing forth the same emotions which were originally associated with those people and events.

Now in summing up all that we have just said, one could say that both the physical nature of your environment, and your beliefs, are the keys that determine the nature of the emotions you will experience. When you are physically to cold or hot, or to hungry, you will not be very happy.  Anything which threatens your survival will cause you to have thoughts of a low vibrational nature, and will result in you experiencing emotion that is a vibrationally equal to the thoughts which you are having.

And so we have come to the point where we are saying that, the nature of your emotions must stem from your thoughts about your experience. A second consideration would be the role your higher self (soul) plays in your emotions. Each individual has a natural overall vibrational state of being to which they continually return, and that this state of being is different from individual to individual.

This explains and accounts for those people who are continually positive and optimistic, and also accounts for those people who are continually negative and pessimistic.

Everyone has a set of beliefs which act like a vibrational governor which works to continually bring them back to a specific vibrational state of being. In order then, to alter that state of being and the emotions which you will experience as a result, one needs to alter their beliefs about what constitutes the nature of reality.

In this life you are but just one aspect of your soul, who is watching over you and guiding you during this present incarnation. Your soul is that divine part of GOD which was created in the beginning and contains all knowledge about the source from which it was derived. You are in constant communication with your soul through your emotional body, and your soul is continually sending you energy which you choose to call emotion, which aligns perfectly with the thoughts which you are having.

Thus when you are having negative low vibrational thoughts, and are sending the same out into the void to be picked up by other people, your soul will let you know your working against your own highest good, by sending you low vibrational energy that will feel very uncomfortable and depressing.

Alternately, when you are thinking thoughts of a very high vibrational nature, your soul will send you energy of a compatible nature, that will feel wonderfully joyous, thereby letting you know that you are on track to your highest good.

Therefore, regardless of what is happening in your life, your thoughts become the basis which determines the type of vibrational energy you will experience in conjunction with your souls activities, as it engages in the process of continually guiding you to your highest good.

Have we served you well?

Yes, very well. Thank you Sanora.

You're most welcome. Peace, love, and joy, unto you and yours.

Whatever

This blog is the result of watching to many well meaning, but ill equipped people evangelizing their faith at the expense of those of us who are trying to raise the frequency of humanities thinking. It's a bit of a rant,... but hey, after what I have just listened to, I'm entitled.

There are many beliefs in the world that I currently am not in alignment with. In Particular, would be the belief that any individual text could possibly reveal the complete vibrational nature and reality that is GOD.

All knowledge is vibration ally based, and is only understandable by those people who are in vibrational alignment to the information itself. Vibrational realities make up and govern the natural order of things, and constitute the way things work in this and all universes. Consistency of form and function is an attribute of GOD, who is the living definition of every concept, including consistency.

Firstly, it is not possible for any particular physical text to contain the total knowledge of GOD. Secondly it is not possible for people who are currently aligned to a low vibrational reality, to fully comprehend knowledge that exists at the vibration ally highest of frequencies. The closest that any text could come to the revelation of the nature of GOD, would be an "approximation" of that nature.

True knowledge is never fractional, it is always complete, and the reason for this is that GOD is the source and creator of all knowledge. Therefore if you are not GOD, who holds all knowledge within his being, then your knowledge can only be fractional and incomplete.

The true nature of GOD cannot be qualified or quantified, by beings of a lesser vibrational nature, and if your vibrational reality is lower than that of your creator, then we are talking about you!

Humanity however, is much vibration ally higher than they realize and give themselves credit for. Every one on earth had to lower their personal vibration in order to come into physical form, and will return to their natural rate of vibration (whatever frequency that may be), once they leave this particular incarnation. This life is a trade off. You leave the true nature of yourself behind, in order that you may experience a physical reality, in a linear oriented environment.

The information within any text then, can be only a partial revelation of the nature of reality, who is GOD. Also, because of each individuals limited personal vibrational frequency, they are unable to understand thoughts and concepts, which they are not vibration ally aligned to. Therefore, any truth in a text which might align with the reality that is GOD, will not be understandable to all people equally.

If you can not grasp the reality of what has been stated herein, then you are certainly in no position to be direction the thinking of those people around you. Study your own text thoroughly, and you will come to the inevitable conclusion that the nature of our creator is that of love, among other things, and that GOD does not terrorize that which was created in love.

Sharing your understandings about GOD and the nature of reality is one thing, telling people that "this is the way it is, and they better suck it up and get used to it" is another.

If then, you feel constantly compelled to spread the word of GOD to those people around you because of your faith, then why not uplift people to a higher level of love and joy, by giving them information of the same nature.

There are to ways to get an animal to do your bidding, the first is through love and kindness, the second is to continually beat it into submission.

The decision as to which is the better method, I'll leave up to you.

Reality and Dimensions

Sanora, are you there?

Yes, greetings my son, a beautiful day, is it not?

Yes, it's a very nice day.

How then, may we be of service to you today my son?

Sanora, would you be able to explain to me your understanding of reality, and dimensions?

Why yes, I believe that we can expand your understanding in those areas.

Let us first talk about reality. Now all of life is a creation at both the individual and collective level. One good way to view reality is to compare it to a still frame photograph in which you are the focal point. As you are well aware, the "you" in the photograph is a limited reality, in that it exists, but can not interact with your environment in any meaningful way. It is static,... frozen in time.

Now if you were to multiply that one photo by one thousand, and alter your facial expressions slightly for each photograph, you would (if you could look at them in very rapid succession) appear to see motion on your face. This is how movies are made. This is also the nature of reality.

Reality then, is an infinite number of created moments in time, existing sequentially, and giving the illusion of both movement and continuity. You are all immersed in a creative energy field of unimaginable proportions. All creative input into this energy field will alter it, and create effects which may be noticed by yourself and others.

And so we are saying that even the smallest of energy inputs into this creative energy field, such as those created by thought, will alter the nature of this energy field.

Reality then, can never be a static thing, because of the continual creative input by everything which is a part of it. In simpler terms, it can be said that those who were designed to create, must do so, and in the doing, must affect the energy field in which they are constantly immersed.

It is true to say then, that reality is always representative of the way things are, which in the ultimate sense "means change."

Dimensions occur "within" reality, and represent the way things are "vibration-ally within that reality. Your third dimension is filled with radio waves of varying vibrational frequency, which are transmitting invisible information, which can be picked up and reinterpreted as sound, by any radio tuned to the correct frequency.

The universe is much the same. Dimensions are not "real estate" based realities, but are instead, based on vibrational frequency, and overlap each other in much the same way that a stack of individual sheets of paper can overlap each other. This is why there is sometimes a bleed through from one dimension to the next. You move from one dimension to another by altering your vibrational frequency, and you have done this each time you have incarnated into the lower dimension of physical reality.

You are in error then, when you believe that there is nothing outside this physical plane of existence. In truth, everything else in all of creation lies outside of this physical plane, which is merely a drop in the bucket in comparison to all of the rest of creation, which is infinite in it's scope and creative ability.

Have we served you well?

Yes that was great Sanora, thank you.

You're most welcome. Now, if there is nothing further, we will take our leave. Peace, love. and joy, unto you and your's.

Joy Lies Within

It is the nature of life and people, to be both in receipt of, and the cause of, problems for both themselves and other people. 

As we look around it becomes more clear to us that, there is no one who is able to escape some of the adverse conditions that affect our individual and collective lives. If then as it appears, we are not able to escape the reality of adverse conditions and people, because of their sheer volume, which exist on the Earth at this time, how are we to deal with them, so that we may achieve a state of joy and peace? 

The answer lies in the one part of ourselves which we all possess and is unique to each of us,... our minds. 

 It is a fact that nothing which is daily occurring in our lives, comes with a label attached to it that says "this situation means this." Nothing in life comes with any preconceived meaning attached to it. 

We as individuals give everything in life all the meaning a situation may hold for us. This is why many people may experience the same situation, and come away from it holding different points of view about that experience. If the experience carried a preconceived meaning, then the experience of many people would have to be identical, and that is not the case. 

So we have the situation occurring where we label certain aspects of life as being joyful, boring, shameful, loving, hateful, etc. It becomes obvious then, that the only control we have over life's conditions, is over how we view those conditions, and the meaning we attach to them. We will never, in our present state of consciousness, be able to affect the workings of this world, in order to make it over to our liking, and even if we could, other people would inevitably remake it over to suit themselves, so we would be no farther ahead. 

The answer to finding peace and joy, in a world that appears to be working against itself, is to look for it within your mind, instead of associating it with conditions which are outside yourself. It is very difficult to individually try and control that which we have collectively created, however we do have control over our thought processes. This control starts with the decision as to where and what we will place our focus on. 

When a person places their focus on a certain aspect of life, they draw more of that aspect of life into their reality. Focus has the effect of making whatever you are focusing on, more real to you. Your recognition of something in your life is the first step towards making it your reality. The more you think about, and involve yourself with, people and conditions you dislike, the more of the same you will create for yourself. 

This is how creation works. It is impartial, and always works to duplicate or increase, whatever thoughts or emotions dominate your mind. Positive thinking is not a new age airy fairy concept. It is based in a universal law which says that you will duplicate or increase the dominate thoughts, attitudes and emotions which your mind holds, into it's physical equivalent. 

The answers to life's problems do not lie in avoiding people and circumstances, but in choosing to see only the good, the love and the joy, that those people and circumstances potentially hold. Now in those rare times when we are involved in something which is truly a low vibrational thought, action or experience, it would be beneficial to remember that once the experience is over, we should not let it contaminate the future by continuing to revisit that experience on a regular basis. 

 It may be hard to view a person being abused and realize that abuse is only a label we are putting on the situation. The universe does not label that situation as being abusive. When a fox kills a rabbit for a meal, does the universe label that as abuse? When a lion or tiger kills and eats it's prey in order to sustain itself, does the universe label that as abuse? Life from a universal perspective "just is." Life has no labels attached to it, thus it is free to unfold, according to it's nature. 

It is important to realize that while most of life has consciousness, we are the only beings which are "self aware." Thus life must unfold according to it's divine design. People however are self aware, and can affect their nature, because that is our design. 

We can and do place labels on, and give meaning to life and events. That is both a gift and a vice, depending on how aware we are about the use we are making of our minds. Peace and joy then, start with the individuals decision to look for and see only the best of what people and life have to offer.

Reincarnation

Although Sanora has already given me his perspective on past lives, I felt a desire to explore it, not from the mechanics of how it works, but from a perspective of the “attitude," that revolves around the whole concept of reincarnation, as it is generally viewed by the public, and so this is what follows.   

Are you ready for a little fun and controversy? Just ask any of your friends the question, “is there such a thing, as reincarnation," then sit back and watch the fun. Is there life after death? 

Many people would dearly like to think so, others are on the fence, as to the existence of an after life, and a larger group of people, spout all the common, trendy opinions, shared by the collective consciousness, who deny the possibility of reincarnation, because it’s admitted existence would mess with each individual's concept of reality, and under mind the plans of those, in worldly seats of power, who are concerned with maintaining the status quo. 

 Let’s take a few, illuminating ideas into consideration, before I go public with my view. Consider if you will, the fact that crimes, rarely solve themselves. Usually many hours of investigative procedure have to take place, before enough evidence can be gathered that would lead to any kind of definitive conclusion. Cures to diseases are not usually found on the first attempt, many people, much time, resources and effort, usually go into securing a cure to a specific disease. 

Now let’s look at all the great inventions we enjoy so much. Each invention was the brainchild of a person, who either alone or with a staff, worked continually toward a successful prototype of their invention, regardless, of the number of prior failures they may have had, in order to bring us the technology we enjoy today. 

Now what do these examples have to do with the question of reincarnation? 

Simply this,... it’s highly unlikely you're going to find something you're not looking for! By not actively seeking out information as to the reality of reincarnation, you have clearly indicated your lack of intent in that area. Lack of intent, includes lack of focus, and consequently, the probability becomes large that mos if not all supporting evidence as to the reality of reincarnation, would go totally unrecognized by those not looking for it. 

Evidence, cures and inventions, just don’t present themselves as completed works. Time, energy and work, is necessary to make them complete. When a person denies the existence, of the concept of reincarnation, what they are saying is, “in my opinion it doesn't exist," which is laughable, because in a lot of cases they haven’t given it any prior thought at all, and the opinion they hold is not even their own original opinion, it’s the opinion most commonly held in the collective consciousness by their peers. 

We terminate people, or send them to jail for life, based on far less evidence than exists to support the concept of reincarnation! 

When you connect all the dots, look at the supporting evidence, you can’t help but come to the conclusion that at the very least, reincarnation exists as a possibility, and for those of us such as myself, who have been looking at this idea for years, it’s a certainty. 

When you start talking about reincarnation, the conversation usually gravitates into the area of “past lives." However, since time as we know it doesn't really exist,... and since all things are happening in that one continuous moment of “now,"... there really is no such thing as time,... or past lives,... and with no past lives, where does that leave reincarnation? 

Well,... I guess it’s back to the drawing board!

You Get What You Believe

Sanora are you there?

Yes greetings my son. How are you keeping on this fine winters morning?

Very well thank you.

How then may we serve you today my son?

What do you have to say with regards to the dis functionality of governments and political systems in general?

We would say, as we have stated so many times before, all actions are the result of the beliefs which precipitated them. Therefore a wide range of beliefs will be the source from which a wide range of actions are born.

With regards to politics and systems of governments, it would be accurate to say that they are the result of the core beliefs of the populace of any given country. As a consequence, the efficiency, affluence, and harmony within that country, is represented by those same qualities, in the minds of that countries people.

What we are saying then, is that the qualities which you would like to see displayed by your politicians and government, must first exist within the minds of the people who created and support that particular system of government. Therefore what is going on externally to you and other people, is but a reflection of what is going on in your minds.

Our question to you then, would be to ask why you are so content with your beliefs, and so discontented with the physical manifestations you have created, as a result of those same beliefs?

Even those of you who suspect that "beliefs" are at the core of the problem, prefer to view your beliefs as being accurate, and the beliefs of other people as being in error. We will say that no matter what aspect of life you are looking at, if there are people involved in the equation, then you have the potential for behavior of both a low and high vibrational nature.

This is true because each person is in possession of a consciousness, which is guided by an ego. The ego is your earthbound connection to your higher consciousness, and is primarily concerned with your survival needs, and the "self." Obviously, from the perspective of your ego this is okay, however when this attitude is multiplied by seven billion people, you begin to see the reason for all the problems which political systems and governments are facing.

When people are continually following the dictates of their ego, then their main focus will always be on service to "self " first. Thus a society will become very competitive in nature, as everyone scrambles to get their share of whatever is available to be had. Your society has been built on the idea of competition, because that is what you as a people, have been taught to value.

Had you built your society on the values of cooperation and compassion, the world might be a totally different place today. The movement to higher levels of love, truth and joy, is the movement out of a survivalist based value system controlled by the ego, into higher vibrational levels of possible thought, action and experience.

A political system or government which cannot create peace, harmony and prosperity for it's own people, is ill equipped to intervene in the affairs of other nations. An ego driven government backed by an ego driven population would of course only have their own interests at heart, when it comes to international relations.

In conclusion then, we would say that the miracle fix you are looking for is relatively simple. "Just change your mind" with regards to those things which you believe to be true. If they were true, then you would be experiencing far greater joy in life, and so we say to you, if you are dissatisfied with life, then you should certainly be dissatisfied with the beliefs which created that life.

When each individual starts making better decisions, based on beliefs of a vibrationally higher nature, the way will be opened up for vibrationally higher results to come to you.

Have we served you well?

Yes, very well, thank you Sanora.

You're most welcome. Peace, love and joy, unto you and yours.

UFO

This doesn't come under the heading of mystical, but sometimes a break is good. Anyway, one evening my work partner and I were heading home after a long day of selling door to door home improvements, in a community that was about two hours from my home. We were traveling down hwy 11 south, a multi-lane hwy in Ontario Canada. We had stopped for a coffee, and then got back into the car and started heading home. I'm a little fuzzy on the time, but it was about maybe between ten or eleven o’clock in the evening. As I was looking out the front window of the passenger side of the car I noticed two colored lights in the sky, off to my left side. The details aren't as clear now, but they were either both red, or red and green.

Anyway, I didn't think too much about it because I knew there was a small airport close to the highway on the way home, and I assumed they must have belonged to some kind of craft that was just coming in or leaving. It was too dark to see the physical body of the plane, or determine the distance the lights were from us, however I surmised that they could be no more than a half mile away. It caught my attention as I watched them that, they didn't appear to be moving, just hovering, and so I assumed that the lights probably belonged to a helicopter.

While I had my eyes on the two lights, they instantaneously traversed the whole sky from left to right, a distance that had to be miles, coming to a complete stop, from full speed, all in the blink of an eye. Then they repeated this move from right to left across the sky, to their original position, coming to a dead stop from full speed in another split second, and finally, no sooner had they stopped in their original position, then they moved across the sky again from left to right at a speed that was so fast that you could not even follow them with your eyes.

I sat in my seat trying to make sense of what I had just seen. Intellectually I knew I had just seen a UFO, but my mind was still trying to come to grips with the laws of physics which I had just witnessed. I turned my head toward my partner, who looked at me, and we both said the same words at the same time, "did you just see, what I saw?" Another interesting point to this story is that, I had just finished reading a new book all about the crash of alien space ships at Roswell in the fifties, written by an ex air force colonel, who had been a part of much of what transpired at that base. What's up with that?

Can any body out there relate to this story?

What Is Truth

If everyone knows the truth, and every one has the truth, why do so many people hold such divers opinions, with regards to life?

Truth is equal to universe reality, as it was and is being created and upheld by our creator.

This being the case, it is accurate to say that truth and the creator are synonymous. Now God is a completed work in much the same way that your physical body seems to be complete. Yet we all know that even though you look much the same from day-to-day, inside you are continually undergoing change. God is the same way. The creator is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow, yet within the reality that is the creator, there is continual change and development taking place. Therefore while the total nature of God is one of changeless truth at the very highest levels of universe reality, at everything below that vibrational level, there is continual change and expansion occurring. And so we have coming out of that reality, the idea of "evalutional truth," born out of the continual development of consciousness.

Humanity has always been engaged in the development of consciousness, and so everyone is experiencing the nature of evolutional truth. This means that what humanity holds to be true today, may not be true one hundred years from now, when we have experienced larger realities, and have come to alternate conclusions as a result of that experience.

Out of this idea of evolutional truth, we can see that some people will be lagging behind in their concepts of what constitutes truth, and some people will be well ahead of the curve with regards to recognizing higher vibrational realities, leaving the rest of humanity somewhere in the middle.

The only consciousness that knows the total truth, is GOD, who is the creator of that truth. Now another aspect of GOD'S nature is love, and so in determining the truth of anything, you may also check a thought or action with regards to it's truthful nature, by how closely it aligns to the reality of love. Therefore things which are equal to the nature of the creator, are equal to each other, especially love, truth, joy and freedom.

Consider for a moment a hypothetical situation where you had to live your whole life without one of those four concepts. Which one could you do without? It would be a very tough unpleasant choice, would it not? As far as the true nature of truth is concerned, it has always been a static stationary unchanging reality. It is humanity who is moving ever closer towards truth, who's true nature is GOD.

Raising Children

It is mildly amusing that many people who do not understand themselves or other people, often find themselves in a position where they are guiding the lives of children.

This is the first clue as to why the world is the way it is today. At any given time a person can only be who and what they are, and so their guidance to children can be no higher vibrationally, than their own ability to love.

Love is the nature of our creator, the universe, and our nature also, therefore, any strategy or system of thought which has been devised as a means of guiding children to maturity, must be based first and foremost in the principal of love.

Having this strategy in place will cause you to act toward your children in a manner that will be serving their long term highest good.

Children are very ego oriented, and are always interested in getting what feels good now! They are quick to learn which of their actions bring them the reactions they were looking for, and so in every moment you are either training them, or they are conditioning you.

Children are really the prime example of ego without sophistication. An adult ego works exactly the same way, only it has been wrapped in layers of sophisticated behavior, designed to make itself more socially acceptable to other people, but at it's core it is the very same ego internally, with just a few more wrinkles and a little less hair.

A good question you might want to ask yourself is, can a dysfunctional person recognize their dysfunctional behavior?

And if not, are they likely to be able to guide their children away from that which they themselves can't see?

The idea about giving advice as to how to raise children is pointless, for those people who already know how, and equally pointless for those people who can't control their own ego or thought processes.

Essentially the raising of children can be classed into two trains of thought. There is the "do as I say, not as I do" group of parents. Then there is the "I am the life, the truth, and the way" group.

Which one do think has the greater possibility?
