Privind Deasupra Clipei – Cap.I Beyond The Moment

Darrell Peter Borza

Beyond The Moment

Stateam la cafeneaua din apropiere, sorbind o foarte scumpa bautura, a carui nume avea atatea cuvinte incat le-am uitat pe toate. In fata mea se afla un ziar, plasat acolo doar pentru efect, mascand distractia mea favorita de a privi oamenii.

In aceste vremuri, a fi psihic nu este un lucru unic, si confera o cu totul noua particularitate observarii oamenilor, caci eu nu caut sa aflu secretele oamenilor, ci sa-i stiu pe cei constienti ca ii simt. E usor sa ‘simt’ o persoana a carei energie trece pe langa mine, oamenii fac aceasta tot timpul, inconstient. Ochii si simturile imi alunecau mereu catre o tanara femeie aflata in coltul dughenei, cu privirea fixata in ceasca de cafea de parca isi citea norocul in zat. Privirea ei s-a ridicat si mi-a intalnit ochii, dupa care si-a indreptat atentia catre tejghea si sirul de dependenti care se aduna aici zilnic, ca si mine.

De fapt eu vin arareori aici, caci prefer sa-mi prepar singur cafeaua, dar m-am trezit devreme cu senzatia ca trebuie sa ies afara si sa fiu printre semeni in aceasta dimineata. Faceam asta de destula vreme, ca sa imi urmez intuitia si inspiratia.

Simturile mele erau in alerta maxima, ceea ce in general insemna ca ceva sau cineva urma sa apara in viata mea astazi pentru un motiv.

Simteam ca fata era motivul. Parea destul de tanara ca sa se afle aici asa devreme, poate cincisprezece sau saisprezece ani, dar avand un chip ce reflecta maturitate, cu mult peste anii trupului ei, aceasta fata a cunoscut suferinta, si totusi energia care o inconjura reflecta culorile unei persoane luminate, cu o intelepciune educata, de tip spiritual. Era scunda cu parul castaniu tuns scurt, ochi verzi si cu constiinta scopului prezentei sale in acest loc. Continua sa arunce priviri catre tejghea, catre mine, si inapoi in ceasca sa. Astepta sosirea cuiva. Mi-am folosit simturile pentru a incerca s-o scanez, insa bloca orice astfel de intruziune, dar era constienta de prezenta unei minti similare in incapere. Aceasta se dovedea intrigant, si m-am bucurat ca ma aflu aici, desi nu stiam inca de ce.

Suvoiul de oameni se misca intr-un mod ce parea o rutina atat pentru clienti cat si pentru angajati, cu obisnuitul si uzualul monolog murmurat de “buna dimineata” si “sa aveti o zi frumoasa”. Am observat ca fata privea in sus la fiecare noua sosire, si simteam valuri ale energiei sale cu fiecare noua intrare. Era dificil totusi sa-mi dau seama cu precizie care era natura ei, teama, anticipare, un iubit poate. Dar, cu siguranta, era un gand puternic in spatele puterii sale. 

M-am intors la cafeaua mea, pretinzand ca citesc ziarul.

Am fost brusc scuturat din gandurile mele, simtind o prezenta intunecata intrand in magazin, ca un nor de furtuna printre cei luminosi si puri, un om inalt, vârstnic, trecut de saizeci de ani, intra si se apropie de tejghea, zâmbind in timp ce comanda.

Timpul îndelungat in care a discutat cu ospatarul, indica o comanda multipla, printre pālāvrageala inutila a amandurora.

Era chel, cu sprancene stufoase, si emana o energie in totala contradictie cu zambetul si atitudinea lui, aceasta era o comportare studiata, in care era pusa gandire si energie controlata, pentru a crea o masca a sinelui.

Ochii mei se indreptara catre fata, ochii ei erau atintiti catre el, si devenisera de otel in expresia lor, fara sa clipeasca si nemiscati de la el. Energiile ei se ondulau acum din cap pana’n picioare, devenind mai intunecate cu fiecare val, era ca si cum as fi privit un tsunami formandu-se. Aceasta era destinatia asteptata de ea, si nu venise aici ca sa intalneasca un iubit sau un prieten. Aceasta era ceva ce nu simtisem si nu vazusem in patruzeci de ani de lucrari si experienta cu energiile,  eram aici sa fiu martor la ceva nou.

Am incercat sa-i examinez emotia, si am fost literalmente aruncat inapoi din nou, ca si cand as fi fost trantit intr-un zid de un pumn zdravan. Respiratia mea fu taiata de puterea si intensitatea loviturii. Ochii mei se napustira catre obiectul privirii ei de laser incremenite.

Puteam vedea clar ca el o simte, dar era absorbit in sarcina sa. Il afecta ca un tantar bazaind in spatiul sau, convulsii subtile si gesturi de iritare ale mainii incepura sa apara. Eram uluit ca ceilalti nu simteau nimic din asta, dar la o privire mai atenta, am observat cum oamenii se departau de el inconstient, chiar dandu-se la o parte din calea lui, pentru a ajunge la tejghea. Era un joc subtil interpretat, dar actul dramatic final nu era departe in timp si spatiu. Orice era ceea ce se intampla aici, cu sigutanta era “Momentul spectacolului” aici si acum.

Mi-am schimbat pozitia astfel incat sa-i pot vedea pe amandoi nestanjenit, resemnandu-ma la rolul de observator, si fiind pus la locul meu de o ochire rapida a ochilor fetei catre mine, in timp ce ma miscam. Am auzit-o cu adevarat in mintea mea: “nu te baga”, si i-am raspuns “Am inteles”, fara formarea constienta a unui gand. Aceasta se desfasura intr-o arena de energii cu care nu eram inca familiar, si de care ma indoiesc ca multi de pe aceasta planeta erau. Cu toate acestea, ma simteam cumva privilegiat ca puteam fi martor la ea.

Puteam vedea energiile fetei la fel de clar precum puteam vedea scaunul pe care sedea. Un fascicol de lumina alba aurie ii intra prin cresetul capului, corpul ei era inconjurat de o aura de lumina alba, dar de la talpile ei venea o energie neagra in sus, prin corpul ei, rotindu-se in chakra inimii, si miscandu-se in sus pana la cel de-al treilea ochi al ei. Energiile intunecate erau sageti ca laserele, si tinteau de la ea direct in chakra inimii batranului. Ochii ei nu tradau nimic din ceea ce se intampla, nici corpul ei, parea sa fie doar o femeie tanara sezand acolo, uitandu-se pierduta in gol, asa cum toti vedem din cand in cand, si ii spunem “a fi cufundat in ganduri”.   

Omul se simtea foarte inconfortabil acum, transpirand si miscandu-se in ceea ce apareau ca miscari spasmodice, incarcand cu disperare sa-si ascunda disconfortul. Atitudinea lui studiata incepea sa se clatine sub stresul pe care il simtea. Ceilalti din jurul lui largeau cercul, ca atunci cand cineva are un atac cerebral sau de inima, cand simturile ne spun sa ne indepartam pentru ca ceva foarte personal se intampla. Barbatul se uita imprejur dupa sursa acestui disconfort, caci pana in ultima clipa cautam in afara, inainte sa ne resemnam realitatii ca totul este inlauntrul nostru. Intotdeauna este inlauntru.

Apoi ochii lui o vazura pe fata, si inclestarea fu inseparabila, cei doi erau Unul acum. Fluxul emanand de la ea ajunse cu viteza luminii, si mai rapid in legatura lor, iar pe buzele lui aparu un ranjet care imi dadu fiori in toata fiinta, prea larg pentru a incapea in sira spinarii. Acest barbat era agresorul ei de ani de zile, hotul inocentei sale, si calaul mintii ei. Trebuii sa privesc in laturi sa-mi calmez greata din stomac si repulsia din minte.

Am privit din nou la ea, si erau sapte globuri de lumina in jurul capului ei acum, cu razele aliniate la crestetul ei, acestia erau ceilalti pe care ii abuzase, am stiut ca acesta era adevarul aici. Laserele din ea deveneau mai usoare, pe masura ce aura batranului devenea o mocirla de chin tulbure, intunecat. Nu mai putea suporta, suiera in durere, in timp ce fata lui se stramba si se contorsiona in furie chinuitoare, cazu la pamant tinandu-se de piept, pe cand privitorii stateau inghetati pe podea. Intr-un ultim urlet de durere eterna, intra in tacere, iar tipatul infiorator isi suna ecoul in mintea fiecaruia, umpland micul magazin ca un suflu incapabil de scapare. Omul cazu mort, rasucit si inghetat intr-o contorsionare oribila, care va trezi din somn pe fiecare privitor, pentru saptamni de zile.

M-am uitat la fata, si am vazut constienta intorcand realitatea in ochii ei, ea se intoarse si privi din nou in ceasca de cafea, o lacrima formandu-se in ochii ei. Aura ei era pura, alba, calma si senina, cu fire de aur si albastru aparand si disparand in puritatea ei. Se uita la mine, ochii nostri se inclestara, teama se strecura in constiinta mea. Cuvinte din mintea ei se scursera in mine: “Fii pe pace, asa cum sunt si eu, si batranul de asemenea”.    

Am pasit pana la ea si m-am asezat, n-am schimbat nici un cuvant in timp ce s-a desfasurat restul, politia suierand cu sosirea paramedicilor, oameni tipand si plangand, unii alergand in jur in confuzie si panica. Am auzit paramedicul spunand politiei ca fusese un atac cerebral sau atac de cord, sau amandoua, care au cauzat pozitia contorsionata a omului si grimasa inghetata pe fata lui. Staturam acolo ore in sir in liniste completa, pana cand totul fu restabilit la fel cum fusese inaintea acestui eveniment. Pana si managerul se calma dupa panica la care se astepta sa urmeze dupa un deces survenit in mica sa cafenea.

Am parasit magazinul impreuna si ne-am plimbat pana la un parc din apropiere. Acolo am vorbit pana cand noaptea ne-a invaluit, si am plecat fiecare pe drumul lui. Mi-a cerut sa nu dezvalui niciodata conversatia noastra, ce fu una de o natura personala.

Fata ma ruga sa pastrez secretul discutiei noastre, iar eu ii jurai ca asa voi face, dar trebuii sa explic natura si scopul acestei noi si evoluate abilitati de comunicare umana de astazi.

Ea il ucisese pe barbat? Asa crezusem cand ma aflam in cafenea, la fel ar fi crezut si politia daca vedea ceea ce ochii si simturile mele vazusera, dar ei nu putusera sa vada. Am acuzat-o de asta la inceputul discutiei noastre de mai tarziu. Mie imi paruse a fi crima prin energie controlata.

Cu toate astea, gresisem in obsevatia mea, si curand aflai de ce, si mult mai multe. Ea si altii fusesera molestati de catre acest om, profesor timp de multi ani, sub amenintarea de a le face rau familiilor lor, daca ar fi dezvaluit aceasta oricarei persoane, mergand pana la a le urmari si fotografia familiile, pentru a-si asigura accesul la ele.

Nu e ceva neobisnuit in cercurile de oameni alienati, si odata ce un copil traieste cu o frica de moarte de un astfel de eveniment, el reprezinta o tortura pentru multi ani.

Fata imi confirma ceea ce observasem, si nu fusese razbunare, iar moartea lui nu fusese altceva decat propria lui alegere in aceasta experienta, nu trebuia sa moara dar facuse aceasta alegere. Nu fusese un act de manie sau ura, ci unul de auto purificare si iubire de sine. Fusese un act de salvare de sine.

Ceea ce putusem observa in matricea energiei ei, fu o mare parte a rolului chakrelor din noi, pe care le-am vazut intotdeauna ca centre de procesare a energiei care intra in noi, dar ele ne ajuta si in controlul energiei pe care o emitem in exterior. Cele cinci simturi pot de asemenea emite energie si senzatii, dupa cum pot sa si primeasca. Suntem alcatuiti sa functionam in ambele moduri, in integralitatea constructiei noastre.

Si ea se trezise in acea dimineata mai devreme ca de obicei, si se simti obligata sa viziteze cafeneaua, ceea ce nu-i statea in obisnuinta, dar isi urma intuitia, fiind foarte natural pentru ea sa faca asta, asa cum fac cele mai multe persoane abuzate.

Pentru ca prin experienta abuzului, biologia si abilitatile mintii sufera evolutii cuantice, iar rezultatele pot fi similare celor dobandite dupa o viata de practici spirituale. Fetei ii fu dat sa poarte multe palarii in tanara ei viata, de catre puterile care o controlau. In cercurile spirituale era numita copil Indigo sau Cristal, la scoala era numita de profesori anti-sociala, si ciudata de catre elevi. Acasa i se spunea in multe feluri, dar putine erau magulitoare.

Invatase singura sa mediteze, citise carti despre practicile spirituale, carti stiintifice despre fizica cuantica, si de biologie si psihoterapie. Isi hranise mintea cu un apetit sincer pentru cunoastere, caci cunoasterea insemna putere, iar puterea o va ajuta sa se elibereze din inchisoarea ei. In timpul abuzurilor, fusese o maestra a experientelor in afara din corp si pleca.

Dar, lucrurile se schimbara mult in Univers si in evolutia rasei umane. Sub nasul comertului aglomerat al vietii, si al oamenilor toleranti, o noua specie evolua in mijlocul nostru. De secole se vorbise de aceasta cale a evolutiei, numita adesea “Calea”, dar niciodata nu paruse ca va fi realitatea noastra.

Precum profetul atat de ocupat sa scrie despre ea, care nu reuseste sa observe ca apare in mijlocul nostru.

Ceea ce s-a intamplat in acea zi, fusese returnarea catre batranul om, a ceea ce ii apartinea exclusiv, fata ii inapoiase toate emotiile pe care barbatul le lasase in ea, sapate in sufletul ei si infierate in mintea ei, simtamintele de teama si groaza care nu fusesera niciodata ale ei, sa le experimenteze si sa le pastreze. In acea raza laser de emotie, ea ii inapoiase pur si simplu ceea ce el ii lasase atat de nepasator in grija, ramanand asa cum el o gasise initial, cu inocenta ei neingropata si nepatata de noroiul dorintelor lui ajunse la nebunie. Caci inocenta nu poate fi pierduta, ci doar ratacita in intuneric.

Cand tot ceea ce barbatul o facuse sa simta se intoarse in mintea lui, fu mai mult decat acesta putea indura, mai mult decat isi facuse vreodata timp sa considere, si fu peste puterile lui sa traiasca cu acea suferinta oribila, astfel incat hotari sa nu mai traiasca, iar in ultimul sau moment constient, barbatul auzise ca fusese iertat cu adevarat. Totusi, alese sa plece, deci fata nu purta nici o vina sau remuscare, nici o crima nu fusese comisa.

Ea imi explica mie si ei insesi ca aceasta era ordinea lucrurilor acum, si ca rasa umana va vedea acum adevarul justitiei, si va fi condusa spre actiuni corecte, si spre gandirea in acest cadru, al returnarii simtamintelor catre proprietarii lor. Fusese calea celor ce venisera inaintea ei, numiti sfinti, mesia, divinitati, dar acum este calea noastra a tuturor. ADN-ul avea un nou cod si noul camp energetic al codurilor foarte evoluate, emis de catre ele, forma geometria sacra a modelului perfect. Facand posibile evenimente precum cele la care fuseseram martori in aceasta dimineata. Aceasta reprezinta, referitor la moarte, asa-numita “viata noastra derulata in fata ochilor nostri”, a vedea prin simtaminte cum am facut pe fiecare persoana din viata noastra sa se simta, in interactiunea noastra cu ei. Returnarea catre ei a produsului gandurilor si emotiilor lor catre noi.

Totusi, moartea nu trebuie sa mai fie catalizatorul pentru aceasta revelatie. Aceasta ne permite de asemenea sa aratam in moduri foarte reale, aprecierea iubirii si amabilitatii care ni s-a acordat, matricea trimite si iubire nesfarsita de la ochi la ochi, precum se intamplase in cafenea.  

Au trecut patru ani de la acea zi, si nu mai vorbiram fata in fata din acea zi. Fata va absolvi colegiul in curand ca si consilier pentru persoane abuzate, facand ceea ce spusese in acea zi ca va face, si anume sa invete si sa trezeasca pe oricine va putea, la aceasta realitate dinlauntrul lor, si sa se conecteze cu cei treziti prin propriile lor experiente, asa cum se intamplase cu ea. A aparut un “nou serif” pe planeta Pamant, facandu-i pe toti ceilalti depasiti.

Tanara femeie imi ceru sa scriu o carte despre toate astea, iar acesta este “cuvantul inainte”. Ea se afla undeva, in lume, si pretutindeni, si arata la fel ca multe tinere si tineri, asa ca fiti grijulii cu ceea ce lasati in vietile altora, caci va va fi inapoiat, fiindca va apartine.

 About the Author, Janet Smith Warfield 

“Resist not evil, but turn the other cheek.”

Thirty-five years ago, Janet Smith Warfield had an unexpected mystical experience. Words she had learned as a child in Sunday school suddenly became crystal clear. In an instant, she understood their meaning.

Nothing outside her changed. Her surroundings were exactly as they had been moments before. Yet everything changed. She was suddenly looking at the same world through different eyes.

As Janet struggled to put words to this mind-boggling experience, she realized that no one understood. How could she use divisive, analytical words to communicate a unifying, holistic experience? It was a question Janet wrestled with for years.

Words were only illusions, dancing at a masked ball. They were only fingers pointing at the moon. They were not the moon.

Nevertheless, there was a moon behind the word illusions. There was a unifying, holistic experience. There was a Human Truth Puzzle that could be put together. In fact, it had been put together, over and over, by person after person throughout history. Words were one piece of that Human Truth Puzzle. Each person who solved the Puzzle used different words to point to the solution.

Janet already had a Bachelor of Arts degree from Swarthmore College, a Friends college that encourages individuality and creative thinking. As she continued her struggle with divisive, analytical words and their relationships to our experiences, she entered Rutgers School of Law, Camden, to study some of our human-created methods for using words as clearly and helpfully as possible. Janet graduated cum laude, and practiced law in Atlantic City, New Jersey, for 22 years.

As lawyer, mediator, poet, author, wife, mother, and grandmother, she has become a powerful word sculptor who knows how to bring peace into troubled lives.

Meditatia Muntelui

DailyOM

De-a lungul istoriei, omenirea a venerat muntii. Taria si fermitatea evidente in piscurile stancoase si versantii netezi ai varfurilor muntoase de pe glob, au inspirat din timpuri imemoriale creativitatea si au aprins curajul. Muntii au fost venerati de multe culturi, care au preaslavit piscurile grandioase ca pe niste zei si fiinte sacre. In prezenta siluetei lor, umanitatea a vazut putere, statornicie si hotarare. Totusi, nu trebuie sa traiti langa un munte pentru a va cufunda in aceasta vasta energie a grandorii impresionante. Dimpotriva, din moment ce muntii sunt atat de unici in forma ca si fiintele omenesti, locatia voastra poate exista sub privirea neclintita a unui mic munte, fara sa stiti acest lucru. Prin practicarea meditatiei muntelui, puterea ascunsa in inima tuturor muntilor va va patrunde, in timp ce frumusetea lor absoluta va va aminti ca si voi sunteti creaturi ale pamantului.

Daca sunt munti in zona voastra, planuiti sa petreceti catva timp bucurandu-va de imbratisarea linistita a Mamei Natura, care poate fi un ajutor pretios al meditatiei. La fel, a tine o roca sau piatra in mana, va va permite sa simtiti cu usurinta energia pamantului. Daca imprejurarile va impiedica sa vizitati un munte, oricum, incepeti prin a va vizualiza la baza unui pisc falnic. A tine in mana o roca, va poate ajuta sa va acordati la energia muntelui. Puteti sa va imaginati un pisc abrupt si maiestuos acoperit de zapada, sau o forma luxurianta, acoperita de copaci, rasarind delicat din pamant. Sedeti, sau imaginati-va sezand la baza muntelui, si petreceti cateva minute coexistand pur si simplu cu el. Cand va simtiti linistit, exprimati-va intentia de a comunica cu muntele vostru, si cereti sa primiti energia lui. Proiectati-va constienta pe varful muntelui, si priviti in jos la campiile peste care sta de paza. Trimiteti lumina peste flora si fauna care numesc muntele casa lor. Veti putea descoperi ca va simtiti minunat de imensi si de neclintit, in timp ce va cufundati mai adanc in meditatie.

In final, cereti muntelui sa va fie ghid, si daruiti-i recunostinta voastra cea mai sincera. Daca ati vizitat cu adevarat un platou sau un pisc, petreceti timp cu muntele prin campare, excursii, sau avand un picnic pe el. Sau, daca voiajul vostru a fost unul spiritual, folositi-va imaginatia pentru a cerceta peisajele, sunetele si aromele muntelui vostru. Cum explorarea voastra progreseaza, veti deveni mai inradacinati, crescand treptat in puterea voastra personala. Cand ati terminat meditatia cu energia muntelui, multumiti acestei energii durabile si puternice, pentru ca si-a petrecut timpul cu voi.

Permite Luminii Tale Sa Straluceasca

DailyOM

Cu totii ne nastem in aceasta lume cu daruri unice. Inlauntrul nostru este o scanteie divina, o lumina capabila sa faca lumea un loc mai frumos. Dar in multi dintre noi, acea lumina zace adormita, distrusa de temeri si sentimente de imperfectiune. A o aprinde inseamna a atrage atentia, a face fata posibilei respingeri sau responsabilitatii succesului, si a risca sa fim catalogati ca lipsiti de modestie. Si totusi, cand subminam lumina prin ascunderea aptitudinilor noastre si strivirea visurilor noastre, ne refuzam noua si celorlalti o bogatie de experiente. Abilitatile tale sunt o parte din cine esti tu, si cand esti mandru de ele, afirmi iubirea, stima si increderea cu care te vezi pe tine insuti. Mai mult, prin exprimarea luminii launtrice, le acorzi celorlalti permisiunea sa faca la fel, eliberandu-i  sa-si exploreze propriile lor talente.

Unii dintre noi suntem invatati din copilarie sa ne ascundem lumina interioara de lume. Rudele ne previn ca profesiile asociate cu aptitudinile noastre sunt intangibile. Confratii nostri ar putea fi invidiosi pe talentele noastre si astfel exagerat de critici cu activitatile care ne fac placere instinctiv. Iar figurile autoritare ne admonesteaza sa fim umili si sa evitam sa facem pe grozavii. Dar exista o prapastie enorma care ii separa pe cei ce lasa lumina launtrica sa straluceasca, de cei care cauta doar sa atraga atentia asupra lor. Cand indraznesti sa-ti impartasesti lumina cu lumea, frumusetea si perfectiunea sufletului tau devin clar vizibile. Devii o finta completa, intruchiparea exacta a vastului tau potential. Fie ca esti un dansator minunat, un bucatar de prima clasa, iti umbla mintea rapid cu numerele, sau un negociator natural, vei ajunge sa intelegi ca nu faci lumii nici o favoare atunci cand esti retinut.

Daca ti-ai ascuns lumina atat de mult timp incat s-a prefacut in cenusa, fa o lista cu tot ceea ce faci bine, nu conteaza cat de nepractic, prostesc sau aparent neimportant pare. Apoi intreaba-te cum poti folosi in mod pozitiv acele abilitati, in viata de fiecare zi. Talentele cu care te-ai nascut nu ti-au fost acordate fara rost. In timp ce s-ar putea sa nu descoperi niciodata ce impact a avut lumina ta asupra altora, poti sa fii sigur ca atunci cand iti imbratisezi talentele si le impartasesti cu ceilalti, vei raspandi iluminare in lume.

Asking for What You Want

Asking for What You Want
Cocreating with the Universe

DailyOM

Most people don’t always fully realize that we all have within us the ability to cocreate our lives with the universe. So many of us are taught to accept what we are given and not even to dream of anything more. But our hopes and dreams are the universe whispering to us, planting an idea of what’s possible while directing us toward the best use of our gifts. The universe truly wants to give us our hearts’ desires, but we need to be clear about what they are and ask for them.

To ask for something does not mean to beg or plead from a place of lack or unworthiness. It’s like placing an order—we don’t need to beg the salesperson for what we want or prove to them that we deserve to have it. It is their job to give us what we ask for; we only have to tell them what we want. Once we have a clear vision of what we desire, we simply step into the silent realm where all possibilities exist and let our desires be known. Whatever methods we use to become still, it is important that we find the quiet space between our thoughts.

From that still and quiet place, we can announce our intentions to the pure energy of creation. By imagining all the details from every angle, including scent, color, and how it would feel to have it, we design our dreams to our specifications. Similar to dropping a pebble into a pond, the ripples created by our thoughts travel quickly from this place of stillness, echoing out into the world to align and orchestrate all the necessary details to bring our desires into manifestation. Before leaving this wonderful space to come back to the world, release any attachment to the outcome and express gratitude. By doing this daily, we focus our thoughts and our energy while regularly mingling with the essence that makes it possible to build the life of our dreams.

Observing Evolution
Allowing Others To Walk Their Paths

DailyOM

Watching a loved one or a peer traverse a path littered with stumbling blocks can be immensely painful. We instinctively want to guide them toward a safer track and share with them the wisdom we have acquired through experience. Yet all human beings have the right to carve their own paths without being unduly influenced by outside interference. To deny them that right is to deny them enlightenment, as true insight cannot be conveyed in lectures. Rather, each individual must earn independence and illumination by making decisions and reflecting upon the consequences of each choice. In allowing others to walk their paths freely, you honor their right to express their humanity in whatever way they see fit. Though you may not agree with or identify with their choices, understand that each person must learn in their own way and at their own pace.

The events and circumstances that shape our lives are unique because each of us is unique. What touches one person deeply may do nothing more than irritate or confound another. Therefore, each of us is drawn to different paths—the paths that will have the most profound effects on our personal evolution. If you feel compelled to intervene when watching another human being make their way slowly and painfully down a difficult path, try to empathize with their need to grow autonomous and make their own way in the world. Should this person ask for your aid, give it freely. You can even tell them about your path or offer advice in a conscious loving way. Otherwise, give them the space they need to make their own mistakes, to enjoy the fruits of their labors, to revel in their triumphs, and to discover their own truths.

The temptation to direct the paths of others is a creature of many origins. Overactive egos can convince us that ours is the one true path or awaken a craving for control within us. But each person is entitled to seek out their path leading from the darkness into the light. When we celebrate those paths and encourage the people navigating them, we not only enjoy the privilege of watching others grow—we also reinforce our dedication to diversity, independence, and individuality.

Experiences To Savor

Magical Moments

DailyOm

Most of us are adept at seeing the big picture. Caught up in the hectic pace of modern life, we feel compelled to immediately distinguish what is important from what is not. The assessment is an easy one to make when we are mired in the daily grind—everything relating to success seems significant and everything else seems comparatively trivial. But what is most precious in this life cannot be measured in affluence or influence. The truly noteworthy events in our lives are often the least momentous yet the most wonderful. They are the magical moments in which we are simply awestruck by the wonderment of life. Though our perception of magical moments may be blocked by worldly concerns, our days are filled with such moments. To experience them fully, we need only open ourselves to their existence.

Magical moments are not measured by the composition of an experience but rather by our reaction to it. Since such moments come and go quickly, they should be consciously savored and noted. They stick with us only when we recognize the impact they have had on our mood, our day, and our lives. In such instances, we may find we are suddenly and blissfully aware that we have evolved or that those around us have changed in some positive way. We may stand in awe at the beauty of a familiar object or derive great pleasure from an everyday activity. Or we may witness incidents of supreme kindness and compassion that do not directly involve us yet touch our hearts intensely. Nature is a constant source of magical moments. When we cherish such occurrences, we condition ourselves to take note of them when they happen and appreciate the value they add to our lives.

An idea for increasing your awareness of the magical moments in your life is to record all such happenings in a journal kept for that purpose. As these moments are personal, your journal can be a documentation of small joys or a testimony of grand revelations. You may begin to notice that there is more magic in your life than you initially imagined. In striving to make the most of each of these magical moments, you grant yourself permission to experience new levels of joy, surprise, tenderness, and personal fulfillment.

Walking Through When Doors Open

Walking Through When Doors Open

DailyOM

When a door opens, walk through it. Trust that the door has opened for a reason and you have been guided to it. Sometimes we have a tendency to overanalyze or agonize over the decision, but it is quicker to simply go through the door and discover what’s there as that’s the only way to know. Even if it doesn’t seem right at first, opening this door may lead to another door that will take us where we need to go.

Doors open when the time is right for us to enter a new space, metaphorically speaking, and we can have faith that walking through is the right thing to do. Sometimes we linger in the threshold because we are afraid of leaving our old life for a life we know nothing about. We may have voices inside of our heads that try to hold us back or people in our lives saying discouraging things. These voices, internal and external, are known as threshold spirits, and they express all the fears and doubts that arise at the beginning of a new life. Nevertheless, none of these voices can hold us back, and they will fall silent as soon as we cross the threshold.

There are many doors that open in the course of our lives, leading us into new relationships, jobs, friendships, and creative inspirations. Our lives up to this point are the result of all the doors we have walked through, and our continued growth depends on our willingness to keep moving into new spaces. Every time we walk through an open door, we create a sense memory that encourages us to move into the new fearlessly. When we enter the new space, we almost always feel a thrill and a new feeling of confidence, in ourselves and in the universe. We have stepped across the threshold into a new life.

Choosing Our Way

Choosing Our Way

“Everything is changing. It’s changing at such a rapid speed that it’s hard to keep up with. That is, it’s hard for the old energy mind and consciousness to keep up with the flurry of changes.

Perhaps one of the most difficult, unsettling changes is the completion of our contracts. I define “contract” as a spiritual agreement with ourselves and other people in our lives. The contracts can range from an agreement to be born into a specific biological family, working with someone in this lifetime, living in certain geographic locations, reconnecting to a spiritual group you’ve been with before, or even completing your entire life path.

But alas, our contracts are coming to an end in this New Energy. It’s one of the most unsettling and empty experiences we go through in this lifetime. We’re used to having contracts. They have provided a comfortable framework for our existence and experiences. They were a kind of a self-inflicted destiny. We could actually walk through life in a semi-trance state, wandering from one point of our contracts to another.

As the contracts come to an end in this lifetime, there’s a sense of “what next?” “What am I supposed to be doing?” “What does Spirit want me to do?” There’s a long, empty silence followed by the inner answer: “What do you want to do?” As liberating as this may sound, we’re not used to having this kind of spiritual freedom. Maybe it would almost be easier to get a new assignment from Spirit rather than to make the decision for ourselves? What should I do next?” the answer: “Whatever you want to do.”

That’s the big question: What do you want to do? There are no contracts. No karma. No requirements. It’s like being discharged from the military after a lifetime of service. As much as you might have wanted out, there’s a strange feeling when Liberation Day finally comes. Now what?

I’ve discovered something very important for myself these past few months. I don’t have to answer that question! I don’t have to sit down and write up a new life path. I don’t have to create a new plan. More importantly, I don’t have to worry that someone else will write it for me if I hesitate in doing it myself! I can just BE for the time being! I can take my time to release the old contracts and just hang out until I can really feel what I want to do next.

Take a look at your own life and your contracts. Is your job slipping away? Are your relationships changing? Does your spiritual work feel like it’s dissolving away? And now for the big question: What do YOU want to do? We are completing our contracts, and it is up to us what we choose next. Choose in joy and abundance, choose what makes your heart sing and therefore you will make other people’s hearts sing as well.”

Listening to Our Bodies
Illness Lessons

DailyOM

When our body, mind, and spirit are in balance, we experience good health. But sometimes we get caught up in life’s parade of change and movement, and things get out of balance. Just as there are seasons in nature, our bodies go through times of cleansing and times of activity. Illness is one way our bodies restore the balance they seek, as it cleanses the buildup of unwanted manifestations of negative energy in our system. When we are not feeling our best, we can go beyond addressing the physical symptoms to listen to our bodies as they tell us the changes needed to restore balance.

Our bodies give us signals, but if we don’t listen when they tell us that they are tired or stressed, then the imbalance increases and a stronger message is required, one that is generally expressed by illness or dis-ease. The first step to regaining equilibrium involves slowing down, eating healthy food, getting more rest, and taking soothing remedies. Once we have nurtured ourselves with these things, we can begin examine our illness for the message. A heavy head may be a sign that we have been thinking negatively, harboring anger, resentment, or guilt. A sore throat may be telling us we have been speaking without integrity—gossip, insults, twisting the truth, or even speaking ill of ourselves, all of which can knock us off balance. A sore throat and swollen glands can also mean you are cleansing and processing some powerful emotions at present. Stomach problems could mean that we are having trouble accepting or “digesting” something. Only you have the knowledge of your th! oughts and choices that will allow you to decipher the messages from your body. All it takes is time and attention.

When we take the time to listen to our bodies we can learn how to restore our balance and improve our lives. By honoring the messages of our bodies, we can turn a time of illness into a constructive time of restoration, healing, and revitalization.
