Embrace a new way of life every day by reminding yourself that you are going to be positive today. Begin by being positive to yourself. Say something kind and loving to yourself as you begin your day, and then keep that positivity going so that others feel it emanating from you. You will become more attractive to others in this way and they will want to be around you. They will be drawn to you, wanting to know what your secret is. It’s all within.
Transformative times call for inner transformation as well as outer transformation. To keep up, one must change the self in some way. There must be an agreement with the transformative times, an agreement to go with the flow, especially as one sees that it’s ridiculous to resist. How far does resistance get you? Far better to make a decision that you can live with but one that you can also challenge yourself with. For transformative times are innately challenging times. When it’s obvious that it’s time to change, the best plan is to get in alignment with those changes but to also call upon your spirit helpers to guide you and keep you safe as you journey forward.
Mirror, mirror, on the world,
what is the truth, of it all?
Darkness, darkness,
a blackout, over all.
The darkness reflects a world blackened and misled by delusion and error, absent the light of truth and wisdom.
The sage parents of our world, Truth and Wisdom, though always present, wait in silence. They know that their willful yet immature child must suffer the impact of its actions to truly grow.
Much pain and misery are meted out, and much pain and misery must equally be suffered. These are the natural consequences of cause and effect. Such is the state of our blackout world, as it cavalierly pursues its erroneous intentions.
Truth and Wisdom are always available for consultation, but their answers can never take sides. All of humanity are their children. Their purview is wholeness, all-inclusive, and for the greater good of all.
The willful child is not ready to share. It certainly does not want to hear the unbiased truth from its parents. And so it must play out its desires, until its lonely selfishness is ready and wanting and needing of greater inclusion. Timeouts from parents, however wise, never achieve this depth of growth.
The world is flush with deception, opinions and errors whose actions shake the roots of safety and stability and generate primal anxiety. The Earth itself mirrors these effects in the extremes of its weather patterns, threatening the survival of all.
The saving grace of this pervasive breakdown is its eventual clearing of the grave errors that black out our view and access to necessary changes. In its place is the coming of the Age of Aquarius, the rising of greater truth and wisdom to lead our worldly dream into greater wonderment, the next stage of our evolutionary path.
For humanity to reach this level of heartfelt desire, it must first fully play out its obsession with narcissism, with all its repercussions. Then it will be fully primed to experience love beyond its self, love for the greater good of all.
What is our role individually in this time of blackout? Well, as always: as without, so within.
We are both parent and child within ourselves. The inner child is the main character in this life. The inner parent occupies the place of the High Self, replete with divine truth and wisdom. The parent’s goal is that the child mature and find its way to happiness and fulfillment.
The parent freely offers guidance, particularly when genuinely consulted, however also knows that real growth is an inside job. Every child, at whatever stage of life, must live and learn from its own errors before it can become settled within itself, ready to serve the real truth.
In general, the child operates on the pleasure principle. Pleasure includes sensual pleasure but also refers to achieving happiness, contentment and fulfillment in all areas of life. The child is endowed with innocence, a purity driven by the pleasure of curiosity and discovery, unsullied by shame and fear.
Unfortunately, the craving for lost innocence is so great that it is a fundamental driver in child sexual abuse, where the abuser seeks to steal innocence from the child.
However, innocence is also lost in many other ways during childhood, including the impact of socialization upon the purely innocent child, who’s blank slate is immediately filled with the rules and regulations and beliefs of life in this world, as well as through the side effects of normal developmental lines, including encounters with inner narcissism and the vicissitudes of love and attachment.
The child state, whether in actual childhood or in adulthood, is on a mission to regain and achieve its innate state of happiness. The vast majority of dreams I have ever looked at, as a clinician, reference the child element in some form. The child is always depicting our growth potential or our growing challenges.
Often, the child, or ego in the personality, harbors false stories and beliefs, which defend against the truth and sensitivity of its lost innocence and the pursuit of its genuine desire for happiness. Operating thus, in a blackout state, it must live out its illusions until it is ready for the truth.
These are the inner errors we also see being committed upon the outer world stage, which black out the light of truth. The child, or ego, might turn to its inner wise parent for guidance, but, if the ego is still prejudiced—wanting to hate or desire what isn’t best for it—the parent must remain silent.
Growth can only come when the ego grows beyond attachment to the negative gratification derived from a self-destructive behavior. Ego must live out its illusions to truly grow to this new place. And when it has grown to experience pleasure beyond its unproductive fixation, it will find itself in greater alignment with Truth and Wisdom, the wise parents within.
The greatest guidance for growth now, in this time of blackout, is to ignite the light of honesty within the self. We can stop ourselves, like good parents, from doing what we shouldn’t do, but it will be defeated if we don’t arrive at real pleasure on a more truthful level.
Be honest with your participation in your illusions. Question if that’s really where you need to be at this moment. Perhaps it’s time to move on now. Perhaps it’s time for a real change. Open to change in alignment with truth and wisdom—when you are truly ready.
The times you are living in, the world situation that everyone is now feeling, the decisions made without your say-so, the directions being taken, the actions being perpetrated that you do not agree with put you all in a precarious situation. For how can you let things just happen? And what do you do when you feel so inadequate, so unable to protest or react? Do as the inner prophets have always done. Go inside yourself and get things right within. When you are right within yourself then the whole world outside of you has the opportunity to get right as well. We have said this many times before, the more people who get things right within themselves, the more the world will be in the right alignment to change for the better as well.
The fundamental dynamic of our New Age is the intentional use of the conscious and subconscious minds to manifest reality. The inherent power of this creative relationship of dual mind has always been there, but until recently its divine powers of manifestation were largely unknown, or innocently disowned.
In the New Age, we are claiming and exercising these divine abilities, which were previously projected onto divine beings above and beyond the human self. The key to using these powers resides in the volitional use of suggestion, or command, to the subconscious mind to physically, emotionally and mentally create the outcome one intends.
Suggestions can be delivered intentionally to the subconscious mind, from the conscious mind, through planned and often repeated autosuggestions.
Unintentional suggestions might also impress themselves upon the subconscious mind through the incessant internal dialogue of thoughts, beliefs and judgments that constantly play in the background of the mind.
What we think, believe and state, consciously or unconsciously, we become. The phenomenon of placebo is hardly an aberration. It reflects the normal divine action of the subconscious power in the human mind. As we believe within, so we create without.
Suggestions can also be delivered to the subconscious mind from sources outside the self, which impress themselves upon the subconscious mind with powerful emotions, manifesting in how one sees and relates to the world.
World leaders are presently demonstrating this power of influence in their incessant, redundant words that act as suggestions that impress themselves upon the subconscious minds of the masses. They become an actual interpretation of reality, often in spite of proven facts to the contrary.
The divine power of the human subconscious mind is that it will accept, as fact, what it is told, if the suggestion is powerful enough to impress itself upon it. That accepted fact then becomes expressed as physical reality.
The subconscious mind will never question a premise it is given. Stage hypnosis readily demonstrates this fact. A hypnotic human subject, who is told they are a dog, will bark and pant as if they genuinely were one, in full acceptance of this suggestion, by the hypnotist, as being the absolute truth.
The phenomenon of trance, which facilitates suggestion being delivered to a hypnotic subject, is actually universal. Contrary to an early psychological misconception, which defined and limited trance and hypnotic states to pathological expressions of hysteria, it turns out that hypnosis is one of the most normal, fundamental states of the human mind. It’s a natural brainwave state that we enter frequently, allowing our thoughts to reach and impress the subconscious mind.
When driving a car, most people enter a state of trance called highway hypnosis, where the mind is in two places at once—both driving the car, with an automatic awareness, while simultaneously off on a thinking adventure. Similar trance states are entered when we are tired, particularly before sleep.
Even in fully aware, active beta-brainwave states, the drone of the internal dialogue creates a neural pathway to the subconscious mind that leaves it receptive to the thoughts one is thinking about. These thoughts manifest as moods and actual perceptions, as the subconscious mind creates, in physical reality, the essence of our thoughts and beliefs.
This effect is particularly enhanced by the excitation of the Central Nervous System (CNS) by the mental ingestion of postings from social media. The intent of outside messaging is to excite our CNS to impress the subconscious mind, while we are seduced into the addiction of excitement.
To navigate the flood of messages that deliver us daily to our identity and state of being, we do well to severely limit outside messaging. Such messaging, now aided by the power of AI, constantly infiltrates our thought space, honing its suggestions to fit our unique lifestyle and preferences, seeking to influence our subconscious mind to adopt its causes.
Instead, I suggest choosing activity that promotes inner calm and harmony. Calming music, calm breathing, meditation, and being mindful during all activities protects our brainwave states from exhaustion and takeover by outside energy.
Thoughts are also things that telepathically can invade our mind-space. The trick here is to not take the bait of excitement nor engage the intrusive thought in inner dialogue. Refocus attention instead upon thoughts of gratitude and love.
A thankful, loving focus raises our brainwave states to deep calm and contentment, as we become impervious to the agitation of invasive thoughts seeking to plant themselves in our nourishing garden of mind.
Furthermore, the subconscious mind will attract to us outer conditions that match our inner feelings and brainwave states. Like attracts like. Positive feelings attract a positive outer reality.
The malevolent matrix of now is an attempt to steal our mental energy for its own construction, but we are fully capable of freeing the mind and destroying the errors of thought that keep us temporarily waylaid. Unleash, instead, the positive divine power of creation within the self.
Finally, take full charge of your our mind now! Take back its power and suggest, with utter confidence, that your subconscious mind deliver you to the world of your dreams, for yourself and your world, but also for the greater good of all.
