One Key to Happiness

Not Taking Things Seriously

I recently had an insight that I wanted to share.  The image that came to me was one of a microscope that was intently focused on something very small and detailed.  Us physical humans work the same way as a microscope.  We have the ability to focus and we do this by using our powers of concentration and attention.  "Energy flows where attention goes".  This is how we create manifested physical things.  

Sometimes its fun...when it's working easily... and other times it sucks because we are not getting what we want.  And it's so easy to get so caught up in the minutiae of everything because there is drama there, and fear, and danger, and excitement!  I find that choosing this way, staying focused on the minutiae, is something that I don't want.  I've experienced it and I don't like it.  I am choosing the opposite experience.....I want to stay focused on the energy source behind all that is, where there is no judgment, no opinions, no frivolity, just pure positive feelng, loving, understanding, oneness.  That is clearly my choice and directing my thoughts and actions in the physical world towards living in that state is in alignment with my soul's desire.  Sometimes it's working easily...and other times it still sucks!  But it sucks at a much higher level.  It sucks but I am not attached to the suckness of it, I can let it go and not take it seriously, know it's minutiae, laugh at it, accept it, embrace it, and then divert my attention from it, just let it go, I distract myself with something else to focus on....something that feels good to focus on.....like playing music, or going for a bicycle ride. 

We are meant to live a joyous and expansive life experience.  That's what we all came here for.  Fun, Joy, and Freedom.  Are our lives mostly being lived in that experience?  I think not, it hadn't been for me anyway.  Life had been whispering to me but I couldn't hear it, wasn't aware or open to hear it.  Then the whispering turned louder until it became a SHOUT!   

S     T     O     P     

And then the small, still, voice - chill out, take a break, reassess, get a different perspective, there is something you are missing.........don't take anything seriously....be happy, have fun!  Then the voice got louder, easier to hear (because I was practicing hearing it).....

you are a powerful being and you can be, do, or have anything you want.  

Dream it, Believe it, Achieve it!

Shaving My Head

I have been thinking of shaving my head.  I have been growing my hair now for 3  years running and I am wanting a change.  My hair feels like a distraction, taking care of it, moving it out of the way, washing it......the list goes on.  So I am imagining what it would feel like with my head shaved...and it's something that I have experienced before so I know what it will feel like and it feels good to focus on that.....but.....it's been 3 years since I have cut it so it's a decision I don't take lightly.  And I know from experience that there is an energy shift that will happen as my new appearance will be changed strikingly.

Another rumination.  I think the energy of my Maternal Grandmother, who is my favorite ancestor of this life experience, is trying to contact me.  About 5 days ago as I was in conversation with a friend and the words "Thanks God" came out with the same Eastern European Jewish accent that my Grandmother had.  I instantly recognized the connection but not the significance.....until later that day as I was thinking about what happened and focusing on it.  The reason it was so apparent is because I have never heard that phrase or that accent since my Grandma passed away 20 years ago.  But it's only a very subtle coincidence.....so I did not feel the need to take any action of any kind, I just noted it.  Then, within the next 48 hours, I heard the same phrase and the same accent 3 more times!!!  Okay, Grandma, I get it......thank you, I Love You!  I have been really wanting more contact with the non-physical energies that are always around me and have been asking for connection and guidance regarding that.  Grandma's energy is answered prayer.  And the best selection because I can easily feel my Grandma's unbounding Love because I have felt it before and I am familiar with it.

Aha!  I have connected these two seemingly separate subjects.  I want to cut my hair but I also want to do it being conscious and aware that it signifies a shift, a transformation.  In other words, I want a reason to do it, that would make me feel better about it.  Wanting to tap into outside, non-physical guidance gives me the strong reason I am looking for to now cut my hair ceremoniously and deliberately.

Life above the Matrix - Living with Fear and Limitlessness

I had a realization this morning that felt so amazingly fearful and expansive at the same time.  The fearful part I am in the process of re-labeling and re-programming into my "thoughtware".  There was a lot of excited energy in the fearful part that I can palpably feel in my human body.  It is a rush and a waking up from a previously unrealized mudane, static, state of being.  This is how it unfolded..........

This morning I went into meditation with my daily cup of F.R.E.A.K. Coffee, and I allowed all of the pending projects, lifestyle decisions, and whatever else I was thinking about, to fade away.  As I felt the energy of the coffee being ecstatically absorbed by my body, my energy field started to actively vibrate.  This is something I can feel,  and is closer to my true state of being.  I began to feel myself ascend high to the earth's atmosphere, and then I recalled a recent situation that occurred 3 days ago.  I was looking down on myself and took in the entire scene.  Without getting into details, I viewed my reaction and behavior very predictable and something that I have practiced so much, it has become a natural (unconscious) way of being. 

I then felt myself rise above the earth's atmosphere and rise above the matrix into Free Space.  Ahhh.....this is the place I know, I like, and feels sooo good!   

Repetitive Behavioral Patterns in Earth's Matrix

Back down to my situation on the earth plane, I saw how it was possible for me to choose a different reaction and a different course of action.  Instantly I felt afraid, energetically backing away from the audacity!  THE AUDACITY to behave 180 degrees apart from my MO, my personality, my genetics, my character......AND.....the excitement!  I could feel the energy in my body activated and vibrating.  Then it all made perfect sense.  I AM not confined to my situation, my history, my predictability.  I CAN rise above it all, pierce the veil of the matrix and curiously, fascinatingly, excitedly, youthfully, see what will happen. 

I AM more than my horoscope, my fate, my future. 

I AM boundless, infinite, daring, courageous!
