The Source is in the Circle

There is no need to go through life alone.

There is no need to feel dependency on another to make you happy.

There is no need to have to “feel” happiness to be happy.

There is a Source that you can tap into at any time

This Source is ever-present  and you are never really alone.

You are not abandoned by another because you ARE already complete within yourself.

Because of this awareness and understanding, relationships with others just brings you further understanding of this Source.  That’s the only purpose. It’s a wonderful interplay with you and the Source.

So you ask how do you tap into the Source while in a physical body and “worrying” about problems in that body?

The Source is found in the circle: the spiral, the orbital, infinity

Start by moving a part of your physical body in a circular or figure eight fashion…

your head

your neck

your shoulders

your back

your arms

your hands

your hips

your feet

whatever body part feels natural and good to you

Try it

There is something about moving your physical body in a circular motion.

You’re  now moving like the planets – they tap into this source.

BUT…don’t try to tap in it…don’t force it…don’t wonder if you’re doing something right or wrong. (Trust me…that will just make you dizzy because you’ll probably move too fast and mechanical or not according to your own flow.)

Just remember that the source is already there, you just have to know that, sense it and feel it…and…don’t worry about what The Source is…don’t get hung on that.  Call it whatever you want, whatever makes sense to you.  Don’t let “naming it” stump you from tapping into this finer energy. Who cares what you call it?  Call it God, Call it Universal Mind, Call it the Source, Call it whatever resonates with you. (As I was typing this I asked “it” what “it” wanted me to call “it” and what came to me was “The Source”…never thought to call it that before but that resonated with me)

The Source is too big to really truly comprehend intellectually

It’s the Source of Everything  – Knowledge, Information, Answers, Questions, People. Relationships..EVERYTHING…

The Source wants to do big things if you allow it to work through you…it wants to touch you and wants to shine through you and help others through you…

Even if you don’t believe —  it doesn’t mean it’s not there — right there for you, for me, for us — it’s like the glue that holds everything together.

How will you know when you’ve tapped into The Source?

You will have an understanding you won’t even understand

You’ll want to leap

You’ll want to shout

You’ll want to sing

You’ll want to cry

You know it is real — finally — you know it is real and you’ve tapped into some mystery you can not really explain

You now see people and loved ones (many who have gone on) as ministers of The  Source to help teach you…

  • Maybe they were so powerful in their own spiritual evolution and understanding of the mystery of life that their minds had to be clouded and shrouded by a disease of the mind.  Otherwise the light from the Source would have shone too brightly for others to understand. Even through the disease of the mind a wisdom and “knowingness” came shining forth to touch others who crossed their paths.
  • Maybe they needed to suffer in this life for others to be touched by their kindness and compassion.   It was a plan to teach others how be there for the lest of those, those who suffer, to teach how to see suffering, to teach how to grow, to teach how to survive even when suffering.
  • Maybe they needed to help others that could not give them anything in return.  Maybe to show others what true love does.  That love is not about what you can get, not about you being “happy”, but about giving to others and making others happy.
  • Maybe they were creative and industrious.  Maybe they had their own business.  Maybe they had 1000 ideas but because of time and circumstance not every plan came together.  Maybe it was to show others that creative energy is alive and well and to pursue dreams and passions.

The Source Lives

Those who have gone on (somewhere beyond this earthly journey) they too live.  How could they not? I mean contemplate that for a second…how could they not?  Even if they don’t live in the flesh here they live in your heart, mind and memory. So just as you can not see them physically anymore –  this Source, Spirit, God, Universal Mind, also lives….all you have to do is tap into it…when you do none of those petty “worries” that you have will matter anymore…you have everything within you that you need…you always have and you always will…

The Source Is In The Circle

Mistakes - No, Maybe They're Just Lessons

Are There Really Any Mistakes?

Can you do something that seems right, but it turns out “wrong”? How do you really know if WHAT you’re doing is WHAT you SHOULD be doing? How do you really know if what you SAID is what you SHOULD have SAID? How do you really know?

Seems Like We Are on the Hunt for Some Missing Piece

Seems like we’re always searching for something

Something  – even – when – we – feel – we – have – everything

Looking for it in other people, in places, and in things.  

It’s like something we once had, but lost somewhere along the way.

It’s like we’ll know it when we find it.

So we keep searching..even when we have people,

go places, have money and things…

Seems like something is STILL missing

Still Searching…Still Seeking…Still Looking…Still Empty

Look at Other People Today

Look into their eyes

You’ll realize that you are not alone

~They are ~

Searching Too.

Seeking Too.

Feeling Empty Too.

(even if most are “acting” like they’ve found it…look closely in their eyes and you’ll see the truth…)

It’s in the frantic searching,

seeking and emptiness that we feel we made “mistakes”

We find and stay too long in relationships with the “wrong” people

We seek and get the “wrong” stuff

&

We S-T-I-L-L Feel Empty Inside

Are These Mistakes or Lessons?

If we look at everything as Lessons on the Journey of the Seeking and Looking for What’s Missing,

Then, are there really any mistakes?

If you take everything as a lesson, as growth, as getting closer to fulfilling that empty space…

how is anything that happens in your life a mistake?

Just Be - Just Be Here - NOW

 

Be aware of the beauty that surrounds you.

Be grateful for the opportunity to experience it all.

There is nothing to do.

There is nowhere to go.

Just be…here…NOW…

ENJOY the below music and images and let go of all your “busyness”…and JUST BE…for eight minutes.

Can you do that?

Go ahead, give it a try.

Just Quit Living Small...Remember Who You Are

Do you know how big the UNIVERSE is?

Not the City you live in.  Not the State.  Not the Country. Not the World.  The UNIVERSE.

You are currently a part of the UNIVERSE.  How special is that!  Don’t forget that.  You are here for a reason.  You are.  You HAVE to be, or you wouldn’t be here.

Who AM I?
Who AM I?

Think about what it took for your parents to conceive you, for them to decide to keep you and to let you grow. Think about being born, making it through your childhood (and it’s craziness — we all went through some craziness),  BUT here you are… STILL here.

Stop looking at your current situations, circumstances and thinking that this is all there is. Stop wondering how on earth you got to where you are.  Maybe you’ve made a couple of wrong turns, just learn from them and move on.  Maybe you can’t see what the future holds for you, that’s no problem.  Once you come to the realization of  two things then things start to change:

1.  Being grateful for what is — right now — as it is. 

Don’t judge, just be grateful for who you are, where you are, what you have, who is  in your life, where you came from, what your dreams are.  JUST BE GRATEFUL.  It opens up some sort of portal that transports you into your purpose for being here.

2. The you that you think you are is not WHO you are. 

The thoughts that you think is not WHO you are. The emotions that you have is not WHO you are. The identities that you’ve attached to yourself is not all that you are. There is something much bigger happening behind your eyes, in your body, and in your mind.

Look in the mirror and look directly in your eyes and ask yourself:

“Who Am I?” 

When you do this for the first time you will come back with all these identities that you “think” is all that you are.   Your name, your sex, your ethical background, your occupation, your profession,  your title, your parental status, on and on.  You’ve attached yourself to these identities.  Go past all of those identities and ask again…“Who Am I?” 

The final answer will amaze you!

Just Quit - Set Yourself Free

Chinese Painting
Let Go – Just Let Go

“Sometimes you’ve got to let everything go – purge yourself.

 

If you are unhappy with anything…whatever is bringing you down, get rid of it.

Because you’ll find that when you’re free, your true creativity, your true self comes out.”

~Tina Turner

Just Quit Thinking That Because Your Dreams Haven't Come True Yet...That They Won't

Your vision will become clear only when you look into your heart.

He who looks outside, dreams.  Who looks inside, awakens .

~Carl Jung

What are your dreams?

What did you dream your life would be like?

Are you where you dreamed you would be by this time in your life?

Have you given up on your dreams?

Do you still know how to dream?

Awaken

Do you still believe that your dreams will come true?

Have you let life, circumstances,

other people (fill in the blank) defer your dreams?

Have you stopped  dreaming because things haven’t gone the way you hoped that they would?

If you have stopped dreaming, it is okay.

Don’t beat yourself up.

Only you know your story.

Only you really know what you’ve gone through,

what you’ve been told about what is possible,

what you’ve experienced…only you really know.

This is your life.

  This is the one life that you’ve been given to live in the body that you are in.

All that you have gone through and experienced has brought you to where you are today, and it is okay.

You are where you are,

who you are and it is o-k-a-y.

What is NOT okay is to stay where you are today.

One way or the other things will change. Everything changes.

Be apart of the changes that are coming in the world and in your life.

Use your experiences to not only dream again, but to take it to a new level and to awaken to the fact that everything that has happened to you has brought you to this place, this time, and this century to do SOMETHING.

It is up to you to figure out what that SOMETHING is.

Once you finally get on the track that you are supposed to be on, things will open up.  In order to get on that track you have to wake up.

Wake up…

The Time to Wake up is Now

 Can you see the future that is before you? 

Can you see that you ARE enough?

Can you see that THERE is enough?

Can you see that you need to stop looking at what or who is or has been “holding you back”

and move everyday towards your future…

the future that is available to you…

but you have to look at it with fresh eyes, new perspectives in order to see it.

It is not too late to live the life that you’ve imagined.

It’s not too late.
