Your personal energy matters. How you go about your day matters. Are you angry today? Are you sad, pensive, regretful? Are you consumed by worry? All of these emotions affect your energy, both within yourself and in the world outside of you. Those you meet today will feel your energy. How do you wish to be perceived? Even if someone doesn’t immediately sense your emotional state it will affect them so that they may not be fully available to you and you will not be fully present and available to them either. Begin the day with a little prayer for peace and calmness within, saying something simple to yourself to readjust your inner emotional state so that you are more ready for your day, both within yourself and as you prepare to interact with others.
It’s so easy to point a finger and say, “That is where the problem lies!” But how about turning the finger toward the self and asking, “Where is that problem inside me?”
When issues arise in your life, whether they are personal issues, universal issues, or issues involving others in your life, they are showing you that something needs attendance, that something needs to change, that something is in need of new energy, new life or new direction. Let what comes to guide you become the most important issue for the time being. The world outside of you will present you with plenty to focus on, but the most important thing to focus on is within the self. What is going on inside of you that needs attendance? What are you being asked to address, to solve, or to resolve? What needs to change? In turning eyes inward even the most complicated of outer issues will soon resolve as well, for all that is outside is also inside.
Many years ago, my sister, while working as a nurse in a hospital, had an encounter with a man, who may be described as the current, most powerful person in the world. She described him, in that encounter, as both gentle and gracious. This description is quite at variance with his current emphasis, one seemingly dominated with hatred and rage.
The experience of the full range of positive and negative emotions and thoughts is central to the human journey. When our spirit chose to enter a life in Earth School, the intent was to address a specific issue via a human life that would allow for the full enactment and resolution of that core issue.
Naturally, we begin that human journey with our core issue in the crudest of form, like the sculptor who begins their opus with a pile of clay or a solid hunk of marble. We master that core issue, from its crudest of form, into the most refined delicacy of love, toward self and all others, through the working art of a human lifetime. This is the mastery our spirit requires to further its journey in the ever-deepening mystery of infinity.
Spirit, then, is capable of acting both from the higher emotions of love to the crudest emotion of hatred. Thus both good and evil exist in spirit form. Our thoughts and feelings are emissaries of our spirit. When we think positive thoughts and feelings about someone, they experience, on some level, the energetic intention of our positive spirit toward them.
The feeling and behavior of kindness brings people together, regardless of their differences. Expressions of hate and rage generate fear and more rage, as well as divide people in accordance with their differences. Many people today are deeply concerned with the fate of the world under the strain of this polarization, which is rapidly impacting life at all levels.
Many feel compelled to protest, in a variety of ways, the exercise of power as it is currently being deployed on the world stage. I approach the challenge through the suggestion of positive influence, emitted from the highest level of spirit.
This may take the form of a telepathic message for the greater good that we send off, in thought and feeling, to someone we know. That person may experience an unexpected thought about us as the message is delivered. However, the force of the message may not reach the level of their conscious awareness, and act instead as a hidden suggestion to their subconscious mind.
The relationship between the conscious and subconscious minds is the most powerful force we have access to in human form. Thoughts and feelings that issue from the mind, or spirit, act as suggestions to the subconscious mind that then engages its ability to manifest on the physical plane, the intents and desires that issue from the mental plane.
We impact the lives of others by the thoughts and feelings we have about them. If we feel hatred towards someone, their subconscious mind will be influenced by this suggestion to generate more hatred. Our own preoccupation with hatred also directly impacts our own subconscious mind, which will then draw experiences toward us which further those dark feelings and thoughts.
The most effective way to influence another person at the highest level of spirit is to encourage, in thought, that they reach a highly refined resolution of their own core issues. This suggestion is imbued with love and compassion and encourages the same feelings in the recipient.
Every time I think of the powerful man I opened this blog with, I imagine the experience my sister once had with him. I appeal to the kindness I know he has inside him. I suggest that he open to that side of himself and take full advantage of his ability to advance the greater good of the world on a grand scale. I know, with certainty, that this possibility exists within him, as well as within all others.
I suggest that many people, in their thoughts and intentions, send off the same message. This collective intent for the greater good generates a high level of spirit influence, the true motor behind our expressions of physical life.
Whatever form of protest or influence one might choose to engage in, always be sure to refine both thoughts and feelings beyond hatred and rage so as to deliver a current of energy that awakens love and a focus on the greater good of all.
“…the only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance,” stated Franklin Roosevelt in his first inaugural address.
Fearful thoughts literally have substance. The substance of our thoughts is the energetic play of our imagination, the building blocks of what will become substantial physical reality. Fearful thoughts manifest as earthquakes and solar flares in the physical body.
When we imagine, we engage the subtle energy of the astral world, the next stop on our infinite journey beyond life in this physical world. The currency and subtle building materials of that world are thought and imagination.
When we imagine, while in physical form, our mind shifts to the astral plane as we channel its creative capacity to give substance and form to our desires in this world. This is how the subconscious mind manifests our suggestions. What we imagine, with feeling, the subconscious mind brings to life.
At present, our world is teeming with warring thoughts. These outer thought munitions infiltrate the mind with images and emotions that suggest terror to the subconscious mind. This results in paralytic panic in the physical body, which charges the imagination to create even more fearful outcomes, a vicious cycle continuously escalating and spinning out of control.
The real battlefield for this unrelenting attack is the mind itself. At the quantum dimension of our being we are a fully interconnected ocean of thoughts, telepathically exposed to all thoughts. Exposure to thought is one thing, absorption of thought is something else.
Absorbing thought means attaching to a thought, as we doggedly think about it. This incessant attention allows the substance of the thought to subtlety take control of the mind. Even if we disagree with a thought, by mentally and emotionally fighting with it, we increase its power over us because it becomes the central focus of our attention, usurping our vital energy.
To attack in your mind whatever you fear is to become lucid. In a dream state, lucidity allows us to wake up and take charge of the progression of a dream. To become lucid in waking reality is to become aware of the thoughts we have unconsciously become enslaved by, and then to exercise our innate ability to choose where we spend our attention.
Detachment is freedom of attention. With detachment we become emotionally neutral and objective. We are afforded views of current events that clarify the cosmic cycles behind the current dance of humanity. Our narcissistic worldview, that ordinarily has us take things so personally, becomes neutral and objective, despite the horrors of the present. Though not robbed of our compassion, we absorb no grievance.
This freedom of refined attention is aided by guides and intuitions issued from the higher planes of the astral world, from helpful souls who have reached total acceptance of all that is, and seek only the truth. We open to these positive channels of truth as we exercise our lucidity and attack in the mind whatever we fear.
Wake up to the state of your mind and reclaim all of its power by releasing, with love, the thoughts that once bound you to fear. Think only of the greater good for all.
The Greater Good for All, Chuck
