Soulbyte for Friday March 25, 2022

Notice what you say to yourself and how you say it, how negative thoughts repeatedly keep you down, how the mind spins its old yarns and keeps you stuck in old places, with old ideas of yourself. Time to break out of the old mold and free your mind, and yourself. Pay attention to your thoughts so you can stop the old and allow something else to rule. How about your spirit? It might have some things to say that you’ve never heard before. Be open to something new. Free your mind, free yourself.

Sending you love,

File away the knowledge you have gained as you have traversed life’s many paths. It will come in handy later. In the meantime, focus your attention on finding the one path that fills your heart and makes you feel at one within yourself, at peace, and at home in the world. That path is your true path and its knowledge will come easily and bring you joy.

Sending you love,

Chuck’s Place: Intend To Ascend

Breathe the breath of  inspiration…

To ascend is to realize one’s higher ideals in everyday life. To ascend is to invite Spirit into expression in the temple of the physical body.

The highest ideal is just to love. What blocks love is selfishness. Selfishness is living within the narrow confines of self-interest, essentially focused upon one’s physical comforts and physical survival needs, to the exclusion of the needs of others, as well as the intent of one’s own Spirit.

The physical body is the playing field of the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind expresses our karmic load in the features and workings of the physical body. The subconscious also houses our suppressed memories of experiences in the life we are currently in, in the organs and conditions of the physical body. The subconscious also holds the primal heartbeat of Spirit’s intent, seeking movement in physical expression.

However, the physical body is also the being who is going to die, therefore, from it issues the anxiety, worry, and preoccupation with survival. The physical body is our Earthly animal self, largely preoccupied with food, shelter, and comfort. Like our cherished pets, the physical body asks for tenderness and security to calm its panic around daily survival needs.

The physical body is the child within the self who seeks the reassurance of the parent, the ego mind, that everything will be OK, so that it can relax into a calm state of safety and expression. Short of this, the physical body remains tense and restless, riddling the parent mind with its fears, that generate obsessive thoughts of impending doom.

Frequently, the ego, as parent, becomes preoccupied with securing safety for this child panic state by piling up physical resources to placate its survival fears. This is where the ego is constantly obsessed with money: making, obtaining, or miserly coveting its accumulated reserves. This can also manifest in eating disorder issues, where the survival need of hunger dominates ego decision making.

Currently, we are witness to a war whose perpetrator’s intent is to devour and hoard a country to strengthen its own resource and personal defense. This is the child whose fears have become the parent’s mission to soothe, through the stealing of another’s property, with the justification of self-interest and survival.

Interestingly, the world is divided over the primacy of self-interest that expresses itself in indiscriminate human slaughter versus sacrifice and service, for the greater good of all. The former attitude can be characterized as a refusal to ascend. The latter attitude, the intent to ascend.

To ascend means ego opening and acquiescing to the promptings of its Godparent self, its High Spirit. Spirit is the home of that higher order of love for all, neighbor and self. Though ego was born to be housed in the temple of the physical body, its true parent is Spirit itself, who gave it life to perform its mission, from Spirit.

Typically, ego feels orphaned from its true Spirit. This is the side effect of being born with a blank slate, an imposed loss of memory of its divine origin. This is necessary for it to truly take on its assigned mission in the playing field of time and space, life and death in a physical body. Lacking the memory of its divine origin, ego becomes the little prince/princess of the personality, its Earthly domain, which includes the physical body.

Cynicism, the rational cornerstone of narcissism, is the worldview of an ego that lacks connection to, or completely denies, life beyond the physical body, in Spirit. Cynicism cannot rise above attachment to material love, as, from its perspective, matter is all there is. The only playing field for cynicism is love for one’s material conquests and acquisitions.

For egos ready to ascend, a loving, caring attitude of parental responsibility for the true needs of the physical body temple is primary. This can be achieved through many methods of breathing, meditation, chanting, and dance that calm the worried, mortal, physical body through direct contact with and expression of Spirit.

With the child of the body in its safe place, the ego is now free to open to the promptings of its own true parent self, its High Spirit.

Spirit sends dreams and synchronicities to nourish the spiritual needs of the body and the mind. Spirit sends visions and channels to teach the workings of higher love, as well as bathe the ego and body with the energy for loving movement and fulfillment. This is true inspirationin-spir(it)-a(c)tion!

Our world is slowly coming around to intend to ascend, as we suffer the atrocities of loveless actions. As individuals, we can hasten this collective inertia by intending to ascend through the responsible parenting of our bodies and to receiving the loving guidance of our Spirits. This work is our personal contribution to the world’s necessary intent to ascend.

With full intent to ascend,

Chuck

What does it mean to be in balance? Balance is the acceptance of all things, without exception, the utilization of the fullness of who you are and the full realization of your potential. Balance is also allowing yourself to express all of these things in the course of your everyday life so that no part of you is held back, suppressed or neglected. In balance, all that you are is fully known and expressed—in good balance of course!

Sending you love,

Chuck’s Place: Inner Telekineses

Turn negativity positive…
– Artwork © 2022 Jan Ketchel

If we are observant enough, we might notice how even the subtlest thought we have registers in the body. If, when I hula hoop, I have the slightest doubt that I can do it, down it falls. Confidence is merely command of thought that then directs matter, in this case the body, to move and become one with the encircling hoop.

Thought is the energetic intent of mind. Mind resides in the subtle body of the soul. When we think, our subtle thoughts activate a magnetic energy that attracts similarly charged matter to reflect it in physical form. That magnetic energy of attraction is emotion, which ‘gives flesh’ to the intent of the selected thought.

Thus, for example, the people we attract to us reflect the thoughts we have about ourselves. People whom we resonate with mirror our known beliefs. People whom we bicker with might reflect thoughts we unknowingly harbor about ourselves, as we unwittingly attract these ‘undesirables’ into our energy field.

If you are frustrated by the quality of relationships in your life, explore deeply the thoughts operating in the shadows of your subconscious mind. Change your thoughts, change your relationships.

Biology defines kinesis as a movement of a cell or organism in response to a stimulus. Thought is the telekinetic stimulus that moves the cells in the body to generate the body conditions we live with. Some thoughts are genetically transmitted to the subconscious mind. They may be unconsciously generating physical limitations and illnesses with which we must contend.

Every time we state that we are what we are because of our ancestry, we reinforce these controlling thoughts in the subconscious mind. Beliefs are enshrined thoughts that cancel the possibility of new thoughts. Without an openness to new thoughts there is little possibility of change.

Thoughts exist in the subtle plane of the soul. Yes, thoughts innervate the glands and central nervous system that register and carry out the intent of thought, but the brain is really merely the hard drive of the mind’s intent.

Alzheimer’s reflects a deteriorating hard drive, yet the mind itself remains completely intact, albeit rarely able to express itself physically in accordance with its previously familiar identity. Communication with loved ones grappling with dementia might be more possible in dreaming, where two souls can communicate unencumbered by physical limitation.

Telekinesis with another person is the language of sex. The openness to receive and merge with another, physically, allows one’s feelings and thoughts to register in the body and soul of each other. This cross-connection is present, beyond the sexual act, when we send and receive thoughts and feelings of affection for others that register in sensations of lightness and tingling in the physical body, regardless of actual distance from each other.

Inner telekinesis is the essence of the life force that molds our physical postures and activities. What we tell ourselves, we do and become. Unconscious thoughts that we internalize, or inherit, automatically shape the direction of our lives.

In recapitulation, we free ourselves from controlling thoughts generated from both experience and heritage. In meditation, we develop the ability to control where we put our attention. As subtle beings, thoughts, though invisible, completely surround us.

Our personal power lies in our latent ability to choose which thoughts we will engage, which simply means, think about. The secret to developing this ability is to not argue with disturbing thoughts. To enter into argument is to give energy, via attention, to the unwanted thought.

Acknowledge the thought, and then announce disengagement from it by shifting your attention to your breath perhaps, or some other desired focus. You defeat a thought’s power by not engaging it. Or, if already engaged, by disengaging from it, rather than being possessed by it, as you try to prove it wrong. Ego beware!

We are all telekinetically gifted. Inner telekinesis is our birthright. Our lives are spiritually advanced whenever we select the thoughts of our Spirit as our life-shaping mantras.

May we all select the intent of love as our guiding thought, as we intend full healing to our challenged world.

Love,

Chuck
