The Jet-Stream of the Universe

There is a jet-stream in our atmosphere that is always moving and its path is always fluctuating. There is a current in the ocean that is always moving and its path is always fluctuating. These currents completely circumference the Earth. There is also a current within the field of energy that we know as life. It is always moving and its path is always fluctuating. This current completely fills the Universe.

Besides the constant movement of these forces, the one thing that is the same of them all is, not one of these flows ever goes backwards. And the secret seems to be, if we get into the middle of any of these movements, we can travel effortlessly to any point that current passes. Fish do this in the ocean; they do not have to swim because the current carries them without consideration of what species they are. Birds do this in the sky; they do not have to work, but simply glide on what nature has given them regardless of bird type.

The same is true of the Universal flow of energy. We are welcome to ride the current regardless of race, upbringing, financial status, or belief system. And contained on the route of this electrical flow are all the things we could ever want. All that is needed from us is to reach out and grab it, mentally speaking, claiming it as our own.

But how can one tell if they are riding the wave of life? It all comes down to this simple question. Does your life feel difficult, or does it feel easy? If it feels easy then you are riding the stream. If life feels hard then you have stepped out from the flow and are fighting the current.

So how does one get into, or back into, the jet-stream of the Universe? This may sound impossible but, no matter what you are doing, you must stop. No matter how much you believe you must continue on with your current agenda, you must stop. If the job feels wrong, you must stop and change it. If the relationship feels wrong, you must stop and change it. No matter what the thing is that is going on with you, you must stop and do something else. If you are unwilling to take the chance to make a change, then do not complain that you are not going to where you believe you should. Remember, everything in life is our own fault. The best way to know what to change your life to is to let go of life as you know it; that is, simply turn your back on it. There is no other way. If you quit your job, do not look back in regret. Just be glad in your decision. Do this in everything because that is how the expression of (letting go) works.

You should know this as well: there is nothing about life that is trying to stop you from living freely, or being prosperous, or successful, or being loved. The flow of life is ever moving and has no opinion about you. The flow is progressive and only knows how to create. The only thing preventing anyone from being more today than they were yesterday is what is believed mentally. As my mom always says, "Can't never could."

I've watched people born with no arms learn to drive with their feet, comb their hair, brush teeth, take care of children, and type out a novel with feet faster than some can type with fingers. I have seen a man with no feet or arms become a professor, a motivational speaker, write multiple books and become published, and even marry the love of his life. His name is Nick Vujicic. Look him up on his website: http://www.attitudeisaltitude.com/about-nick-his-story.

These people did all that they wanted because they believed they could. So what is your excuse for not being the person you envision? To find the answer, there is only one place you need to go - the mind.

It is time to ask yourself, "What do I believe?" Are you a Can Do thinker, or a Can Not thinker? This is something only you can answer and change. And more than likely, only someone with a "Live Life Fearlessly" mentality will be able to uproot their current existence and make such a change, but what do you have to lose? What do you have to gain?

The jet-stream of life is waiting for you all, my friends. I'll catch you on the wave!

Beam Me Up

One of my favorite images is of the Earth, looking back from space. And I realize this next statement will sound strange, but I love it because I cannot see the people on the surface, which makes everything just seem peaceful.

Meanwhile, down on the surface, millions of activities are going on. Billions of people are moving, fighting, struggling, killing, building, destroying, and reshaping the surface of the globe. But from space, none of that is visible. It is just a quiet planet floating in space. 

Then, as I stare longer at the picture, I cannot help but notice that, from space, Earth looks like one giant cell – just like the ones in us, except Earth is a cell in the body of the Universe. And humans resemble that of a destructive virus, moving all over it, devouring the cell wherever opportunity exists and without regard to itself. The virus simply seeks out the next thing it can latch onto, take it over and consume it until that thing is depleted.

I often wonder what we would look like to other beings in the Universe that just happen to be cruising by the Earth in their 2014, top of the line, candy-apple red UFO, with curb feelers, a built-in navigation system, and some fuzzy dice hanging from the anal probe, looking down at us in observance. Would other beings in the Universe consider us to be a good neighbor? Would other beings even want us as a neighbor?

This is how I see things – this lovely blue planet is nothing more than a shared dwelling where all of us humans are, more or less, roommates. And in the vein of being roomies – we all share the electric, the food, the space, and even the same blanket of stars. 

There simply is not enough room upon our small domicile to live comfortably with each other as long as we act violent, angry, greedy, entitled to power, jealous, murderous, envious, and the like? I mean, would any of you actually put up with a roommate that behaved in those ways? Probably not – you may even ask them to move out because these are the most non-progressive ways in which we can live. Nothing good ever comes from such behaviors; no unity, no Utopia, no peace, no lasting prosperity, and no real understanding of what love is. And one does not have to be a psychic, a prophet or a messiah to figure that out. 

I have found myself going out at night, looking up at the stars and jokingly saying, “Okay, I’m ready for the Mothership to come and beam me up now; I’ve had enough.” But the stars just wink back at me and carry-on about their business while I let out a sigh and secretly wish people on Earth behaved all the time as they do when guests come over for a visit. That is polite, caring, generous, loving, and happy.

Still, even though we don’t see beings from elsewhere in the Universe parking on our front lawns in their 1957 rag-top flying machine for a visit; wouldn’t it be nice if, as a collective, we behaved as though we were receiving company at any moment?

A Mental Percentage

It has been said that humans use between 5 and 20 percent of the mind, and I can see how this conclusion has been made. It is not that we cannot use more, but that we were never given a chance to.
From birth we have been told of everything that we cannot do; everything that we should fear; everything that is impossible. Had we been shown precisely the opposite, we would be doing things in our everyday lives with the power of the mind that would make life on Earth the Utopia authors have always written about.

We write about such things, not because they are fantasy, but because there is still a part of us deep inside that knows we have these extra-sensory and super-human abilities built within us - they are simply dormant. But they are still with us because these abilities are programmed into our DNA.

We were programmed this way because of how magnificent and powerful the Soul is. Our bodies were formed as a direct compliment to our Souls. The brain was built to comprehend and carryout anything the Soul gives it, while the body was designed to comprehend and carryout anything the brain gives it. Anything less would be like putting propellers on the space shuttle; the two just would not compliment each other.

You are more powerful and magnificent than you may have ever been told.
You may read these words and believe they are true, but can you feel this truth deep inside?
You are a brilliant Soul, and you did not inherit an inadequate body. 

Wheelchairs, paralysis, handicaps, illnesses, obesity - these are not the limitations of your physical structure, for I have seen a girl dance from a wheelchair; I have seen a quadruple amputee swim the English channel; I have seen illness laden bodies on the verge of death be rebuilt; I have seen overweight beings reform their bodies into a picture of health. I assure you that nothing has ever been put on Earth that can stop you from being yourself unless you allow it.

It all depends on how much you are willing to Think into any given situation.

For example:

A five percent thinker believes nearly everything is impossible. A twenty percent thinker can build a craft that can go into space and back. A fifty percent thinker can manipulate almost everything in a physical environment with only their mind. A one hundred percent thinker is unstoppable.

So - tell me - how much of your brain power are you going to use tomorrow?

It Takes a Nation

The life we implement for ourselves is solely our doing. But taking responsibility for what we have decided can sometimes be the one thing that we want to avoid at all costs. Certainly it would be easier for our own state of mind to place the blame onto someone or something else; but refusing to acknowledge what we have chosen will not lead to a progression of awareness.

Think of this.

I could find no records that show Hitler, as a member of the Third Reich, as killing one person. Perhaps he did so as a member of the Bavarian-Army during World War I, but not during his reign through WWII.

So who indeed killed more than 11 million people, which included 6 million Jews? Hitler was the mastermind that initiated the chain of events, no doubt; but he did not fire every weapon, he did not operate every prison camp where families were incinerated, and he did not personally steal tons of property, including priceless works of art. It took an entire nation and a lot of the world to allow this to happen. Hitler, as leader, took away the retribution that would normally come with the murder of innocent people, causing those who were already inclined with blood-lust to act out their will freely. And with no fear of penalty under the new laws, the people of a nation were allowed to become who they really wanted to be at that point in their existence. But if you ask anyone who killed millions of people during the war, people will answer, Hitler did it. That is because it is just easier to blame someone else than to admit everyone allowed it.

No one forced the inhabitants of the Earth to take up arms and burn, shoot or otherwise desecrate their former neighbors. They did so of their own free will because Carte Blanche on murder was the new law of the land; all one needed to do to participate was the desire to do so. Through Hitler, one side of the nature of humanity was able to reveal itself. Through the army, people had the means and the justification to do the most heinous acts ever seen to that date. Even today, militaries all around the globe offer the experience of unrefined violence to whoever has a desire for it.

All that is needed is the absence of punishment, accountability, and the care-free displacement of blame.
People say, “They made me do it.”

Or soldiers may say, “It’s the enemies fault.” Or, “I was only following orders.”
This is how humanity lets go of responsibilities.

But remember this: life is a progressive force of creation – it never goes backwards. Life is circular; always complete with no beginning and no end. And although experience is great, as long as people move contrary to progressive behaviors, the expansion of their awareness of how creation works will be slow to come, and the carnage of history will be sure to repeat.

Naturally, humanity will discover the truth over time, for the truth cannot ultimately be suppressed; but until we begin to lay claim to our own actions as a united Whole, we will continue to live in a world seemingly bent on being destroyed. 
We may take as many lifetimes as we wish in order to realize this truth in the flesh, and that is all right; there is no rush since there is nothing else for us to do and no particular place for us to go. But however long we choose to live physically in a world of pain and sorrow simply depends on what level of consciousness we want to experience, and for how long we are willing to endure it. It is all up to us - not someone else.

However, I say this: if you are ready to experience as much pleasure and grandeur that a human body is able to now, in this life – you will have to announce your secrets, dirty deeds, and displacement of blame aloud to the world. That is the only way to release it; otherwise, you are still living a life of denial; you are resisting responsibility as long as you are unwilling to admit these things. And as long as you continue to deny who you've been, you can never reveal who you really are.

Imagine

Imagine that you are at a carnival, surrounded by every imaginable type of ride in existence. Then, imagine that these rides all become invisible. Of course the rides are still around you – they just cannot be seen by your eyes. Perhaps this is because the rides exist as a different frequency than you, making the eyes unable to focus on them.

Then imagine that you suddenly wish to experience riding on a particular ride, so it becomes visible to you. 

Perhaps this is because your very desire to experience it has realigned the frequency of the ride to match your own – causing it to appear as part of your world.

After you ride the machine, you choose another, and then another; adding to your experience all the rides in the park. During all of these experiences you feel like your desire to ride has created something new, since the rides were unavailable for viewing prior to your wanting of it. However, you have not created anything new – you have simply used for experience, that which was all around you and invisible to the naked eye already.

The same is true of your life. We are not creating new things; we are merely using that which surrounds us at all times, every minute of our existence. Having no visibility of All That Exists does not mean that it is not there. When we want to experience something that is new to us, all of the parts that were previously unseen gather together and come into view, making us believe the illusion of creation. But we are only putting into motion the completeness of creation that surrounds us, and even envelopes us at all times.

That is to say, all that we will ever experience is waiting for us to call upon it. This is possible because creation is already complete. All you have to do is pull from the infinite field of All That Is, and it will form for you; this will occur regardless of a good or bad designation that is assigned to it. All parts of creation are in perfect homeostasis with itself; that is, creation is neutral in nature. Experiences only become positive or negative after we put them into use.

Now imagine that you have the power to call into existence all of the good you have ever dreamed for your life. Suddenly, goodness will no longer be invisible to you – but will take you on the ride of your life.

Light

See yourself as being filled with light. This light is so powerful it leaves no corner of your body in shadow. It illuminates so brightly that your skin becomes featureless as the light radiates outward through it.

Through this light, no gender can be identified, no race can be seen, and no social class is obvious. Even the tiniest of molecules, in the deepest part of your body, are brightened from the inside out.

Because this light fills every available space in your body, no room is left for sickness, worries, or illusions about who you really are.

You are light - and light has no back, no front, no up, and no down. Light goes out in every direction and it does it all at once. This light of yours blankets all that you do, reveals all of your secrets, and does not know how to extinguish.

You are everywhere - You are eternal - You are brilliant

Letting Go

I have found that every time I have worried about something, it generally came to pass. And since worry is usually brought about over something that troubles us in some way, having the event fulfilled is certainly not a good thing in our eyes.

But as I grow older, I notice that every time I let go of my feelings toward an undesirable circumstance, the event seems to pass over me quietly, having no real effect on me or my life.

What is letting go? How does one accomplish such a mental thing when the entire mind seems to want to replay the stressful moments of life over and over again?

This replay of thought is just the mind's way of role playing every possible outcome it can until a solution is found. However, if the stressful thing is something that the mind has no reference for - that is to say, no previous experience or knowledge to draw from - then no suitable outcome will likely be found. That is where Letting Go becomes useful.

To me, letting go of any undesirable situation is the act of turning off my emotions about that situation. That is, I have no perspective on the issue one way or another; I do not care how that particular thing turns out - I am all right with the outcome no matter what.

I know this may feel impossible, and yes, it will take practice to discipline your mental state to this degree; however, it is worth the effort. I say that because the act of a mental release will free up mental processing power that was previously being consumed by worry or stress. This in turn brings peace, and being filled with peace allows new ideas to flow effortlessly.

To begin practicing the art of letting go, you may want to start with little things where the outcome would truly not matter significantly in your daily life whether you let go of it or not. That is because the action of saying, "I let it go" aloud is monumental. Then, do not think of what you have let go of again in any real capacity. If the thoughts cross your mind during the day or night, simply answer the thoughts with, "I have already let that go." And then breathe deeply, exhaling slowly.

Soon, you will be able to do this same thing with the grandest of circumstances. And as you watch those troublesome things appear in your life, they will have little power over you; and you may have even come across a solution by then because your mind was at peace and able to postulate what the Soul has been trying to tell it.

And the Soul is trying to tell you that no matter what happens in your life - it is not the end. You will not fall over a cliff from your perils, since perils only exist within your thoughts. Thoughts give events power - so in turn, thoughts can take away that same power and make your perceived troubles cower before you. Know that in this very moment, you are all right.

Still, should everything you hold dear suddenly disappear, you must be okay with that; you must be okay with having nothing. Are you okay with having nothing? To find out, ask yourself this: Am I okay with dying today? Am I okay with leaving this life behind right here and now?

If someone puts a gun to your head today, you must be okay with them pulling the trigger and taking you from all that you think is real in your life. If the thought of this makes your heart pulse faster or gives you pause then you are too attached to that which does not matter, and letting go of the other trivial things in your life will be difficult.

When you are okay with the ultimate outcome of death, you will be a master of life. But it won’t be until you are okay with the outcome of unpaid bills, broken relationships, or all the uncertain things of life, that you will begin to feel peace and in control of your life on a daily basis.

For now, let us start small by saying this aloud,

“I let everything go that does not bring me joy.

And so it is.”

The Reflection

Do you suppose that the body You see in the mirror would have still been born if You, (the Soul), had not taken it? Of course it would have; but perhaps some other Spiritual Identity would have used it, making the personality of the body completely different. Remember that You are not the body; the Soul is simply the user of the body seen in the reflection. The Soul is an Identity that is known throughout all creation, while the body is merely Its physical alter-ego. And You, (the Soul), have been many egos along the way. 

But because You are here, now, and using the body You are in; I know for certain that You are here on purpose - or else, the body You are using would be someone else. Yes, the body would still appear the same in the mirror, however, every action of that body would be different all together.

Would the name of the body still be John, Jeff, Stephanie, Lindsey Nancy, or the like? More than likely, it would, since the parents named the body, not the Soul. You are not the name of the body; that is not who You are at all - it is simply Your secret identity in the flesh. You already have a name that all of heaven knows You as. All of the Universe also knows every name ever used by You.

The things done on Earth may seem like a secret; things may appear as if no one can see You; there may not be an obvious point to Your life, but I assure You, there is. Otherwise, You would be someplace else, doing some other thing, living as some other identity. But You are not - You are here now, living life on purpose, with a purpose - and that is why we love You and cannot wait to see what You and Your reflection are going to do next.

Love Thyself

It is not necessary to FIND love. This is because we carry love with us wherever we go. When you meet someone and "fall in love" with them, it is not love that you have found; each of you are simply acting as mirrors, reflecting back to the other, their own understanding of love; and this pleases the Soul. The mind projects the idea of your love onto the one you have met and creates the illusion that the other is responsible for your love and the creation of your happiness. This is disadvantageous since, should that person ever leave you, you will feel as if they have taken your love with them, leaving you feeling empty and unhappy. But if You realize that You are the bringer of love, and Your mate is the bringer of love, then no separation of being could ever take love from You. Think of it this way; the Soul does not know how to love another more than It loves Itself because, it is known throughout the Universe that, every Soulful Identity is already filled with the same Absolute Love. That is to say, no other Soul can give You anything to make You more complete than You already are. Until the human mind realizes this, it will not be able to experience love greater than that of its own understanding of love. That is why it has been said that, "People cannot love another more than they love themselves."

Declaring Gay-ness

I have noticed that whenever someone decides to no longer hide their sexual orientation, it becomes a news worthy announcement on prime time. Last week, a young male teen football player announced he was gay. Then, today, a potential NFL player announced he also was gay.

On one hand I say, "Good for you. You have decided to not be ashamed of how you feel about your sexual identity."

On the other hand I say, "Your sexual identity is not really who you are. Announcing to the world that you are gay is nothing but an identity crisis driven by the ego."

It is the ego that must be noticed, for the ego is in love with itself. It is this same ego in others that drives them from you, because the ego is one place within humans where understanding does not exist.

But do not fret because the Soul does not need acceptance - the Soul is never ashamed of any action It partakes of - the Soul would never need to announce Itself to the world in order to buck a resistant system of belief in order to feel better about Itself.

If a person decides that the most poignant thing about them is who they're attracted to, or with whom they have sex, then they have not really settled the issue going on inside.

I understand that it is liberating to boldly declare something that has previously been made to make you feel ashamed, inadequate, and unequal; however, efforts to make others accept you by being audacious will not bring you the peace that you really seek; for such boldness is filled with pride and irreverence, and those things rarely produce serenity.

I tell you this:

If you are a man that loves men - announcing it to the world will not produce a more loving relationship. If you are a woman that loves women - announcing it to the world will not make your bond of love stronger. Enduring the rejections of others will not make others redefine their beliefs; it will not make you appear stronger or untouchable by resisting their disdain. You will simply feel trampled. 

Ready? Let me tell you -

You are not the actions of your body. Your penis or vagina is merely a tool that the Soul uses for Its own pleasure as It has Its way with the body.

Your body has not decided to be gay; this is because the body does not make choices - it cannot. The body is a performer in an act of which the Soul is the writer, producer and director.

The Soul has made the choice to experience love in the way that it does without any help from the body. The Soul always knows what It wants, while never needing approval from any other source. Therefore, any declaration of sex that is made is done so from a egocentric point of view, and in all regards, useless.

Know This:

At the end of this life experience, it will not matter who you had sex with. It will not matter what people thought of you. It will not matter how many people accepted the lifestyle you lived. It will not even matter whether or not the body (that you think you are) understood the purpose of YOUR life.

But it will always matter - that you lived.
