Of all the magic potions, secret formulas and arcane wisdom
of the ages, when it comes to getting out of my shit, the quickest way to shift
the imbalance and come back into my open and empowered Heartspace is to get
into Gratitude. Nothing works like
Gratitude. Nothing.
It’s a simple matter of physics or science or something
progressively sensible. In that whatever we focus upon and put our attention towards,
gets more … of itself … one of the most preferred afterglow feelings to have
for anything in your life is being thankful for it - to cut to the catch - the
choice to simply be grateful for whatever you’re going through (no matter what), will automatically
upgrade the experience as being beneficial and good for you.
As we’ve now come to understand that energy follows thought
- like attracts like, you get what you give, what goes around, comes around - doesn’t
it make perfect sense to put your focus on the bestest best feeling you can
possibly have? This is also called ‘pivoting’
or shifting your attention in every given situation to line up most favorably
with what feels good to you.
Is it really this simple? In my life, it has proven so, over
and over again. In these times of accelerated Lifeforce flow, the velocity by
which our thoughts come into manifestation are quicker and quicker. The lag
time between an intention set and a direct show up in my life has decreased significantly
… this, however, isn’t to say everything I ask for I get (I don’t), although
when my request is aligned with my highest and greatest good, it sure does.
Like most Spiritually ignited people, I want to keep finding
ways to increase the feelings of being connected with my Higher Self and the
Love juice that flows from this union between my human awareness and my Divine
consciousness. Hey, I freely admit it – I
Am a Lifeforce junkie! I just Love to Love. And I totally want to rest in
The Beloved’s Love. Always.
This marvelous turn of perception has saved me so many times
from taking a wrong turn down memory lane or in more present time sense, a trip
into and through my emotionally hellish tight spots that up until now, used to
own me. These often and eventually disappointing experiences were called ‘Intimate
Relationship.’ Does this sound familiar to anyone, I wonder?
Perhaps there is just a wee bit of mental manipulation going
on here and yet, in that we’re going to think of something anyway, (being the
nature of the mind to think), doesn’t it make sense to think of things that
make you feel good. Or not – and yes, it is always a choice where your mind
goes and how long it stays there.
More often than not, most of us do not exercise our
conscious thought or intention process. We just follow out monkey mind wherever
it happens to take us. This eventually becomes exhausting and to spin a new meaning
on the term ‘an old Soul’ into a Soul being a ‘slow learner,’ sooner or later in our Soul’s evolution, we just
get worn out.
This process of moving in a less challenging or rather, more
joyful direction is what has moved me along in my own Spiritual development. I
believe this is so for all of us. In short: I’ve learned to do what I want to do by having done things I never want
to do again. It is indeed a gradual process of elimination, isn’t it?. As
the layers of ‘not Self’ are stripped away, what remains is our true Essential
Nature, shinning eternally radiant.
On a personal note, I’m currently in an intimate
relationship of sorts with a Lovely woman here in NYC. She has so many
qualities I admire, our sexing is wonderful and we share many similar
interests. And yet, it really isn’t what I most want, relationship-wise. For
her own understandable reasons, she prefers to see me only on the weekends and
cites, I distract her from attending to her especially full plate of concerns. I
too have a great deal to steer through in my life these days, so I can easily
relate. In this respect, mentally, I get
this loud and clear. In truth, I sincerely want for her what she most wants
for herself – I just wish it was me more often.
However, through the trials and tribulations of my fertile relationship
history, I’ve learned the hard way (is there another way!?), that to do what I say and say what I do
really goes a long way with my partner. Unlike M who texted me earlier today
saying she would call as soon as her flat mate left for the day (that was 6 hrs
ago) and although she surly has her justifiable reasons (as do we all), in
learning to keep my harmonic balance, emotionally speaking, I no longer hold
her to what she tells me in this regard.
Even though we match up really well on many essential
levels, the way we relate with each other is more different than I prefer. Oh
well, that’s life … and here comes the grand
Gratitude Blessing, clearing the way to streamline forward or perhaps just
be more resolved and content with what is. And as always, it is only what it is. As my friend Michael Lightweaver is fond of
saying – it do what it do.
This is the huge gift I’m now choosing to give myself in
this interpersonal dance. I consciously choose to free myself from disappointment
by not biting on how she does or does not show up for me. This is because I Am now focusing on showing up for myself
by not being so affected by how she behaves.
As we all have experienced in relationship – the ever ready
solution (in our ego’s eyes), is ‘I just wish she would do what I want!” Good
luck on that fantasy, big boy. Each moment is our opportunity to either see
life half full or more and more empty. It certainly behooves me to slice out
the nonsensical thinking by consciously aligning with my Soul Stream and coming
back into living contact with the God I Am Lifeforce, here and now.
Besides, it much more fun not to be all tied up in emotional
knots, reacting to what the outer world does or doesn’t do … for me.
… to be continued …
In
the topsy turvy arena of conscious relationship, many a pit fall will
call your name, loud and clear ... and you will answer this summons,
most often draging your feet . You have no choice. To enter into this
agreement - to Awaken now, the Youniverse will force you to your
destiny. Each step of the way. If what you read here resonates with you
and support is what you need, please give me a call.
Thank You.
