Redefine the boundaries of your imagination
2008-04-28 11:27:00 Some people assume that without feelings of guilt, inner discipline would lose meaning and purpose. Its easy to forget early conditioning structures later learning. Little do you realize that such structure creates boundaries and frameworks for your imagination. Is it a shock to your system to realize you create according to your belief patterns?Why is it you automatically compare your sense of reality to views of other people? What is it that compels you to align your thoughts with their expectations and beliefs? When do you resist this practice? How do you feel as you shift the limits of your imagination?Recognize beliefs aren't right or wrong. They're just beliefs. In all likelihood, some of your own remain unexamined. You may wish to leave it. You may decide a different approach is desirable. Ideas that nurture your imagination also frame the limits of your self-image, poten...

Transcend your core wounds
2008-04-25 12:41:00 Each of us has our own understanding of why we exist and at least some idea of what we're meant to do. You may have many unanswered questions. ; All activity has more than one underlying purpose. How often do you choose to sift beneath what you ordinarily see? What is it you are consciously or unconsciously choosing not to know? At what cost?Every moment, we encounter situations and are faced with choices. How we react or don't relates to those things we acknowledge and deal with and also to those things we would prefer not to discern or pay attention to at all. Everything has significance. Are you ready to face reasons for pain? What will you bring to the surface and dissolve?To evolve to transcend your core wounds implies you evolve to the point where you recognize discomfort and become willing to explore deeper reasons for superficial reactions.

Is duality really a figment of your imagination?
2008-04-23 05:24:00 http://symbolic-meanings.com/ has started a thread on duality and tagged this blog. What does duality mean to you? How does your sense of awareness orient itself?Some people get wrapped up in the idea of separation from the original Source, that is, where they came from. This belief suggests that separation from Higher Forces is what leads you to come up with concepts like positive and negative, good and bad, and other oppositions. Can you readily explain why you feel torn between feeling open and closed? If you take the stance that you create veils of illusion of reality, then you may also believe life is about learning to remove those veils. Let's say you create layers of them, as the result of external conditioning. In order to work through what makes sense, you discard veils and replace them, then remove others. When will you reach your core?Sorting through ideas about duality brings you face-to-face with y... More About: Imagination , Consciousness
Hedgy situation
2008-04-23 01:26:00 Analysis of the week submitted by Sheryl in Berwick, Victoria, Australia.Dream- My focus was on blue sky. I was flying with the current. I went up and down and flew over hedges with a sense of frustration. They repeatedly appeared in my path.Predominant Emotions- courage, determination, stubborness, ignorance, and fear.Interpretation- Flying sensations remind how you value freedom. You realize inner peace is within reach, but perceived reasons for melancholy distract you from new options. Reflection will assist you to develop clarity and rise above what bogs you down. Hedges are like imagined boundaries you grow from within. They represent restrictions and self-limiting beliefs that take root inside. You may seek to mitigate possible losses from a situation that keeps rushing back. It may hit you like a shock of an electric current. To evade or waffle what bothers you is an inef...

When is it time to rethink where you are?
2008-04-22 23:40:00 Some people might tell you anytime is the right time to do what you want. Yet, if you listen to your gut, voices about responsibilities and commitments will echo that this isn't always true. Its a kind of balancing game. Which voices do you hear inside yourself?Take a friend of mine, a home builder. He is licensed and capable, but he's bored and senses he doesn't follow his true passion. He told me he repeatedly took trade courses to expand his license, but his teacher refused to certify him. He admitted being frustrated. The man's teacher was convinced he would be exploited. He admits his personality isn't aligned with the job. He came to me expressing impatience for change.The context of your situation always invites you to find blessings in your circumstances. How often do you notice them? You may begin to recognize signs that are pulling you away from what you know.... More About: Time
What is the best advice you have ever been given?
2008-04-22 00:28:00 As we evolve, grow and make different choices in our lives, memories of external influence can come rushing back to us. No matter where you are and what you are doing, different people have helped you get to where you are right now. You may reflect on your parents, employers of the past or present, friends, strangers or people who have entered your life, stayed briefly and may no longer be there. Each relationship offers lasting wisdom. Some leave more lasting impressions.Amidst all this, it is meaningful to ask yourself what is the best advice you have ever been given? Who shared this wih you? What were the circumstances? How has your life evolved as the result? Share your own personal story to inspire others and encourage yourself.

Helen Keller & 3 reminders to raise you up
2008-04-21 02:04:00 Hellen Keller experienced an illness during infancy which left her blind and deaf. She intially reacted to her circumstances wth anger, confusion and frustration. She realized she seemed different than other people and assumed that silence and darkness were bad. As she began to face and listen her inner voice, she began to sense her fears were small and insignificant. She stopped paying attention to beliefs that weren't to her advantage. Like Helen , you have power to remind yourself how to raise your awareness:1) Uncover your own gifts and potential. We each have a mind that can be educated, a hand which can be trained, and a path which is right to follow. Only as you choose not to be controlled by negative emotions can you open up to inner treasures you overlook.2) Tap into your true power. Some people assume this simply means to have a dream. Yet, the truth is found when you stop b...
Realize the implications of your core beliefs
2008-04-20 10:58:00 Each of us lives a life based on what we focus on. This goes further than simply relating experiences back to a passing thought. It can actually be traced back to core beliefs. How well do you know yours? Are you aware your telepathic thoughts have implications?You reinforce your reality both consciously and unconsciously. You may find it easier to intuit core beliefs in other people. Yet, as you begin to link behavior back to thoughts in others, you will gradually become less blind to your beliefs. You will also begin to discern "positive" and "negative" only gain meaning when you get convinced you're dissatisfied. To become more aware of why you reinforce this negativity helps shatter your illusions.Let's say you feel as though you have recently faced an unusual number of unforeseen challenges.

Unbury the limiting ideas that keep you where you are
2008-04-19 02:40:00 Many people consciously repress thoughts and feelings that would cause them to alter behavior. You may do this too. You may sense thoughts that are incompatible or inconsistent with how you usually think or live your life. As such, you are protecting the limiting beliefs that you hold and keep yourself where you are. What suggestions surface?Your personal choices and experiences are grounded in your sense of limitations. Many self-restricting beliefs go unnoticed. Whenever you consciously dislike things, or sense and acknowledge discomfort, you are creating more of what you don't want. Why is it you hesitate to open up to experience or ideas that contradict your current beliefs? As you become more attuned to your thoughts, you will realize it is possible to create visions that are incompatible with how you feel. You can decide it would be a good idea to go for a ride in a vehicle you have traditionally f... More About: Ideas
Reach beyond what you know
2008-04-17 09:03:00 Analysis on dream submitted by Anonymous of Melbourne, Australia.Dream- I was levitating on my back asleep inside the middle of a transparent bubble. I wore a turquoise dress and the symmetrical bubble was surrounded by a similar, turqoise aura. I peered outside the bubble through my third eye. From my parallel height, it was a world of jagged, rock points surrounded by glorious pastel colors on a moving horizon. A distance above and to the side of me, I could sense multiple moons. I reached up to push through the bubble with my bare hand. The bubble simply took on the shape of my fingers, but didn't burst. As I lay my hand back down, a ball of white light emerged from my stomach area and passed effortlessly through the bubble up into an infinite abyss.Predomiant Emotions-impatience, awe, restlessness, expectation, and liberation.

Why discern what's behind your thoughts and action?
2008-04-17 02:22:00 As you focus inward, and become attuned to personal energy levels, you will be less likely pulled into control games. How might you discern energy levels and be true to yourself? When energy exchange is not consensual, when it is ego-based, the result is karma, or loss of energy to one side or another. It pays to discern the meaning of how you behave.In the Celestine Prophecy, James Redfield wrote on four energy tactics used and combined by people to raise their energy; Poor Me, Intimidator, Aloof and Inquisitor. These personalities characteriz e different thinking and motives. Do you intuit yourself? Empathy and compassion are perceived as having intrinsic value. Your view gains depth as you evolve to recognise many acts of compassion are actually self-serving. This means you may subconsciously undermine your own actions. What are your real intentio...

This isn't simply a question of believing what makes sense to you right now. Its also a matter of learning to rise above your own tendency to judge, doubt and resist ideas that challenge your perceptions.Each thought, word and deed leaves a trace in your character. You also have hidden interests, memories and feelings you may not readily explain or put into words. You may even fear discussing subjects that surface or fascinate you for fear of seeming weird.

Sense a domino effect from ordinary things
2008-04-15 03:55:00 While reading Susan Murphy's book called "Upside Down Zen: A direct path to reality," I came to a section that made especially good sense to me. As I choose to learn from various views of religion and spirituality, I highlight key points that enable me to grow.Murphy interprets a section of The Tao Te Ching. She reminds us how this work teaches the softest thing on Earth overcomes the hardest thing. This has implications for how we think about ourselves and the world.What if you started to think that to truly begin to grasp mindfulness, you need to be willing to place yourself in a situation where your heart would break?

Follow your intuition
2008-04-14 06:13:00 When did you last listen to a little voice inside you? You know, the one that urged you to make a particular choice? Are you more likely to ignore your impulses and take steps to convince yourself to do something other than what you want? Maybe you arrive at a turning point and are working out what your dreams are and how they evolve with you?We all know the feeling of, 'should I or shouldn't I?' We create situations so we learn to make decisions. What feels right now may not feel the same way at another point later on. That's okay.

Thomas Yellowtail Crow & 3 tips to expand your experience
2008-04-12 03:24:00 To know something, you must merge with it. You don't simply know a flower if you smell it. You only ever really know another thing if you visualize yourself as being that thing. Close your eyes. Experience its soul. The Elders believe two worlds exist; the Seen and Unseen. To experience the Seen World, all you need to do is notice or pick the flower and smell it. To experience the Unseen, you must grasp principles, laws and values. Regardless what the mind or limited physical senses suggest, you must be disciplined to transcend them. If someone wrongs you, the right thing to do is pray for that person to know peace, love and joy. To expand yourself is to choose not to retaliate. Imagine yourself in the position of the other person. Treat him/her as you would desire to be treated. This will encourage healing inside you, dissolve your negative feelings and heal another person.

Realign your senses and transform your reality

After all, your world likely doesn't seem upside down or topsy-turvey. Colors and images make sense . What you may not realize is true seeing isn't done with the eyes. So, do you wonder how its done?Let's say you take the stance your perception represents the selective alignment of energy of familiar, everyday things.

True wisom comes from the mind
2008-04-08 04:08:00 A man stood on the edge of a river. Although it was narrow, the current was strong. The angry water seemed an image of his mind, throbbing and tossing with the eight material activities. He decided to let them flow out of his mind into the water. His mind became calm and his heart content.Suddenly, he heard a shout for help and in the white foam of the waves he saw a man from the village. He hated this man because he had sex with his wife, stolen his livestock, and then beaten him at wrestling. Then another cry for help came to his ears. In the water, he saw a very holy saint whom he respected greatly. He had helped him in times of trouble and eased his mind.Both men were being dragged to the edge of a dangerous waterfall.

What's the lesson at hand?
2008-04-07 23:22:00 At any given moment, each of us is faced with some perceived threat to what we think we know. Each situation is itself a wise teacher, providing we are willing to recognize it. Human beings will often rationalize the ir conclusions or begin to doubt. What about you? Something is always affecting our senses. We perceive as we do as the result of adopted conditioning. To realize the world we initially see isn't what we think it is, is a key step to recognizing lessons that become available. Its easy enough to say, " I wouldn't do that again" or, "I would see that coming next time," but you can also benefit in the now.For example, if a parent grounds a child as a form of punishment, that parent could decide to be more or less strict the next time around.

Carlos Castaneda & 3 facets of Toltec knowledge
2008-04-06 09:35:00 Carlos Castaneda was apprentice to a Mexican Indian 'sorcerer' named don Juan. Under his guidance and also his disciples, Castaneda evolved to heighten his awareness and uncover unlimited courage which led him to accept total freedom. What does this mean?Specific tutelage led Castaneda to obliterate all rational fears and consciously jump from atop a flat mountain into an abyss. Trust and tremendous discipline led to this incomprehsible act. Perceptual teachings shifted his mental states, perception and focus.Ten years later, Castenada recollected the process of learning at different levels of awareness. His 'right side' knew don Juan as a sorcerer. Castaneda's 'left side' knew his teacher as Toltec seer and nagual who taught him to bring his mind to focus on anything with uncommon force and clarity.

He said, "What is your affliction?"They said, "Desire for Paradise has made us like this."He went on his way until he came to a third group of people. They looked like people who had endured much, but their faces shone with joy.Isa asked them, "What made you like this?"They answered, "The Spirit of Truth. We have seen Reality, and this has made us oblivious to lesser goals.Isa said, "These are the people who attain.

Why am I falling and expanding?

I was falling into this dark hole and yet, had the sense that I was swelling up like a balloon. I wasn't sure where I was headed or why. Was it good for me?Predominant Emotions- fear, anxiety, doubt, surprise, anticipation, and courage.Interpretation- The physical interpretation of largeness or swelling up actually reveals an increasing psychic ability and unconscious acknowledgement of this kind of self-growth. The sensation of falling is a classic physical interpretation of your consciousness returning to your physical body after temporary separation. You turn away from what you want. Apply the lessons you have learned to deepen your conscious awareness.When each of us is awake, we experience similar states of unconscious growth, but the ego often purposely conceals them from conscious experience.

That is to say, this book suggests any human being is capable of taking on many forms at one time. Do you underestimate your potential?For example, your physical body can lie on a bed while your consciousness journeys in a dream form to very different locations. You can explore astral and lucid dream states. You can devise thought forms of yourself which could materialize in another place without your conscious awareness.
