Chuck’s Place: Love Trumps Hate

Aspire to higher bands of love energy…

“Do not let the sun go down on your wrath.” (Ephesians 4:26-27) In modern terms this simply means, “don’t go to bed angry.” Certainly the calm of good will to all, before sleep, allows the body to release into restful rejuvenation as the mind goes off to dream, in the depths of infinity.

This nightly journey of mind, in its soul body, into the subtler dimensions of life, is full of encounters with the wandering souls of other sleepers in human form, as well as with those in soul states no longer attached to human bodies.

Robert Monroe, in his journeys beyond the body, charted the various bands of energy one can visit on one’s nightly journeys. The band of energy closest to earth Bob designated as the M band field. This energy, though subtler in composition than the physical body, is nonetheless focused upon the passions and desires of life in human form.

Many souls in M band have yet to fully accept their physical death and exist in a limbo state of private dream, a bardo, where their imagination recreates a life in human form, with its attempts to satisfy its physical longings. Souls in this state are dominated by need and are largely unawakened to their true state of being.

When we go to sleep with unsettled thoughts, or hate, our soul launches in a volatile state of energy that is naturally drawn to like-energy in the M band field. Typically, we arrive in M band with very little consciousness and find ourselves interacting with unknown souls with similar torments, either entering into their dreams or co-creating new ones with them.

Sometimes these are the dreams of intense emotion that generate nightmares. Other dreams find their impetus in what Freud called wish fulfillment, in the playing out of suppressed aggressive and sexual impulses.

The upshot of  all these encounters is an unsettling impact upon our waking consciousness, as our soul returns to its physical body. The download of these nefarious engagements typically casts a negative shadow upon the mood and thoughts of the day ahead.

The bands of energy that Bob Monroe mapped in infinity mimic the chakra centers in the physical body. These ascending chakras, from the root, at the base of the spine, to the crown, at the top of the head, reflect the transformational journey of energy from the grossest state, at the root of the spine, to the most refined, at the crown of the head. The journey of energy through these energy centers is the journey from crude passion and narcissism to refined all-inclusive love and oneness.

To achieve the level of refinement at the crown chakra, we must fall in love with life, with equanimity. At the heart center, for instance, we learn to love our enemies as ourselves.  This profound depth of love extends love to those whom are embroiled in hatred. This is how love trumps hate. Whereas hate has no room for love, love includes hate, in all its vitriolic and sadistic forms. Love only wants the best for all, including those whom hate.

When we end our day with detached, loving thoughts, we launch into infinity with our soul body drawn to the higher dimensions of love that reflects our waking thoughts and emotions. Furthermore, we interact with more enlightened souls who can shed their guidance and wisdom upon issues that engage us in waking life. And though we might not fully remember our encounters in infinity, we return deeply calmed, wiser and rejuvenated as we reenter our bodies and take on the day ahead. We enter with love and optimism, and look forward to the gifts to come.

These journeys into the higher bands of infinity also accrue to a growing awareness of the terrain beyond the physical body, where we will one day settle in as we embark upon our definitive journey, into life beyond the physical body at physical death. With increasing lucidity in sleep and waking life our lives are enriched now, as well as then.

The key to richness of life, now and then, is love. The more mature the love, the greater the wholeness and the acceptance that hate is simply a cruder form of love. Welcome its refinement that all might wake up to the overarching reign of love.

Loving intent for all,
Chuck

There are great forces at work to institute change, bringing you and all of humanity to its knees so that a new era may be established where the ego-driven may be humbled and universal patterns of love, kindness and compassion may take their place. Notice how things will speed up now, in your own life as well as in the lives of others and thus in the greater world. You live in a time of monumental push by the forces of good to re-establish balance in a world gone awry. Get on board and you will likely ride the waves of change with ease. Fight the changes and you may find yourself getting dunked in the turbulence. But either way, great change is here. It’s what you’ve all been waiting for.

Sending you love,

Let not fear inhabit you; it is not your friend but only the absence of light and love. When it arrives send it packing! I looks for easy entry, but block its way, for fear is but an energy drain and serves no purpose except its own continued existence. Do not become its host. Instead bring up from your heart center the truth that lies deep within that reminds you that love is the way, that love will help you find what you need, for love is what you are made of and what you have to offer, to yourself and others. Let love be your guide.

Sending you love,
The Soul Sisters, Jan & Jeanne

You are the source and the light of your own energy. It lies within you, eternal and available. Nurture it, allow it to provide you with the energy, light, and love that you truly are. You are not separate from this eternal source; you are this eternal source. Reconnect with it in every breath you take, in every thought of your spirit self, in every moment you think of love, for love is the energy of this eternal source and that which you are emboldened to embrace and be during all your days. Love is the energy of the eternal source, love is you, love is the answer.

Sending you love,

Chuck’s Place: The Body Follows the Mind

Even the Earth manifests healing intent…

The body is formed and functions according to a hardwired set of autonomous rules that don’t involve consciousness. At the subconscious level of the mind these rules are activated and employed to support the daily activities of life with little conscious awareness or input.

The belief that our genetics will basically control our physical destiny is an assumption that underlies modern attitudes toward the body. This is supported by the fact that the genetic makeup of an individual is in fact preprogrammed and if left to its own devices will predictably evolve along the lines of its innate algorithms.   

Consciousness has the power to break ranks with these powerfully controlling inner laws. At a simple level, a body predisposed to diabetes may have some control over the manifestation of that disease through the exercise of certain food choices. This same principle applies to many potential diseases that may not activate due to preventative behavioral choices.

At a higher more subtle mental level is the influence of belief on physical conditions. This is dramatically demonstrated with the placebo effect, where mental belief alone might cure or cause a disease. Thus, ascertaining one’s core beliefs, assessing the power of their influence, and considering suspending those beliefs in the service of manifesting a new possibility is a good practice to deepen one’s influence upon the body.

At an even more subtle dimension of the mind is the fact that thought is an energetic entity. Thoughts, in fact, have the possibility to randomly fly out of the head and enter the headspace of another person. The power of directed thought to manifest an action on the physical plane is demonstrated by the healing intent being transferred in a Reiki or Therapeutic Touch session.

At an even deeper subtle mental dimension is the fact that while in human form, that is, alive in a human body, the body serves the evolution of consciousness. Thus, if our growth requires changes in our body to support our spiritual growth, our consciousness might be able to rewrite or take charge of the rules that typically govern our physical functioning.

This level of potential change requires that we are in full acceptance of our body as is, that we can truly say we love it. If we are at war with our body we will have difficulty transcending its limitations, as the energy of change is the energy of love. Our process of change at this stage will require much attention to deep, loving acceptance of what is. The potential of what might be can only be built upon this loving foundation.

With the exercise of free will in choices, in suspending limiting beliefs, in sending positive healing thoughts and love to the body, in evolving overall consciousness, anything is possible. At least until proven otherwise!

Love and blessings,

Chuck
