Following The Trail of Bliss (even if we have no idea how it will lead us home)

No Giant Leaps Today? No Problem.

In the movie, “The Secret,” Jack Canfield all but promises us that the practice of taking even just a few steps in the direction we are wanting to go will make a difference in our lives. Even if we are moving only a few hundred feet at a time towards our targeted reality stream. This is great wisdom.

We might not take giants steps in every moment. But if we are traveling just a few yards each day, eventually, we will get to where we are wanting to be. No matter the style of car we are driving, how many stops we make or how many bumps appear to be in the road. Why is this not a problem? Because time is not linear and what we are observing can change in a nanosecond – even sometimes occurring in such a way that it seems we are emerging into our new reality much ‘earlier’ than we ever imagined was possible. So no matter what the terrain looks like outside [to ourselves or others], if we have our headlights pointed in a specified direction the world has no choice but to bring us to our destination. As we roll towards the dream, accompanied by intention and inspired actions, it comes to us – it must – because not only are we the awareness-of-being manifesting as the human being that we are – but we are also, at the same time, manifesting as the world we observe and experience ourselves living in. And all of this is only a diminutive sampling of who and what we are really becoming.

Peering Into A New World

Why has it been said that the consciousness/imagining of something is the same as actually having it?

I believe this is rooted in the awareness certain teachers had of probable realities. Somewhere in the field our desire is already true. And what we want is to merge with it vibrationally.

Will ‘having it’ make a difference? Some teachers say that having is the same as imagining and that  the answer is, no. This response may be incomplete. From the perspective and understanding of the nature of Mind [reality], subject and object are one.  But via the experience of contrast things manifested can be touched and felt in the heart and/or physically in a differentiated way. If you crystallize a brand new car, for instance, it’s okay to acknowledge that now you can drive, feel or smell it or show it to a friend.

The imagining of it can be likened to seeing a picture of your new reality through a window. Having it in the physical, 3-D world can be seen as it being with you in the same room.

How does this work?

The substance of the universe, the fabric of the field is much like a multidimensional canvas. This canvas is neutral, like a void, and requires input or data – like a computer – in order for anything to be manifested within the folds of its elegance. This data comes from Source and then by extension also through us [observers/experiencers].

Thoughts and intention are reflected back to us on this canvas. Light reflecting light into eternity. Think of suns: are they stars or portals? How many different kinds of sight do the various physical beings of earth have? Humans, snakes, spiders, birds, an octopus?….in3-D, 2-D. What of creatures that have two eyes, one eye, six or eight? Which spectrum of light do we or the animals observe? So many ways to experience and see.

When we are physically observing something photons, particles of light, move [or are detected] from the ‘object’ we are focusing on to our eyes and through the lenses. From there the data is collected via the retinas and the electrical signals move along neurons to the brain center responsible for the experience of vision. When we are seeing a thing we are experiencing not a translation of a static material object but rather the effect of our interpretation of light. We can observe the brightest day in the most beautiful place and it is the result of our own interpretation of the photons we imagine exist around us via our brains, the interface of Mind in our physical plane.

The Secret Of Time

The Now, All ways, The EverNow. Even Eckhart Tolle discusses this concept in his lauded literary work, “The Power of Now.”

What is the secret? Are these just words above? New-age concepts fueled by madness? Spiritualized arrogance? Possibly not.

Intention-Manifestation wisdom, The Law Of Attraction and all of their ‘conceptual cousins’ teach that the secret of time is our friend. 20th century visionary, Neville Goddard, taught that even the past can be re-ordered, re-created better, more lovingly so that we may heal our present time life experience. But how it this possible? What is the basis for this seeming wild notion?

Each person, each thing, formed and unformed is a point of consciousness. A point of awareness of [greater] Mind. Awareness of Being something formed or not formed, conceived or not conceived, pure potentiality. Couple this with the model of the Holographic Universe (or multi-verse) and we may have a powerful combination.

Time may be a tool that allows us to experience thought/physical feeling/emotion & vibrational resonance and the resultant creation/manifestation. If we really are gods-in-training, as Dr. Albert Taylor suggests, then this might make sense.

If time is only a tool then it could be a limited model for the way things occur in life, in part anyway. The secret of understanding time may help to raise us up and away from these constraints so that we may have a more accurate glimpse of how ‘reality’ might be actualized.

If the ‘All ways’ is all there is and thought is the basis of reality then all that has been, is and will be in all of its potentially infinite permutations already exists. No past, no future, just Now. The power of Now. And if we can be aware of this then all things, already existing, are available to us via our focused thought and/or feeling and/or vibration, if we are experiencing a reality we do not prefer. All of the same law of attraction tools that we use to change our present-time experiences can be applied to the past or the future. Same tools, different ‘time focus.’

Many teachers, like Goddard, have offered us free tools with a specialized focus . But even these actions always occur in the Now because no matter what pain we have experienced in the past or what our hopes are for the future [or our present] all of this is accessible to us right now. Everything we need or desire, for whatever purpose we put forth into Creation, exists for us in the only moment and point of consciousness that exists.

Attention & Creation

How do we create consciously that which we desire if we experience distractions? Especially if a life situation seems to loom overhead, not unlike a relentless specter? One way is to remember that no matter what is going on in your personal world, you are worthy. Worthiness is built into you already – infinitely now and eternally. So your default setting, as it were, is that of being worthy.  And this, in a way, might actually be a misstatement because there is no other mode to be in or compare it to. In other words, your worthiness is unconditional, like True Love.

Now, even if you don’t believe this yet, you can act as if you do! In ways small and large.

What is it that you desire? Okay! So do one or two things each day to remind yourself that what you wish for is already yours. Whether it is a thing, a condition or an experience it literally already exists in another stream or version of your life anyway. Like a radio signal it only requires that we tune into it vibrationally [mentally/use the senses] in order to realize the resulting experience, in order to shift our awareness-of-being.

Tune in vibrationally? How? By thinking about it, imagining the smell and/or feel of it, going places locally or further away that remind you of it, hang out with people that already have it, making a vision board/collage of things that remind you of your creation……Whatever works to bring you into repeated awareness of what it is that you want.

There are some things we appreciate that we are already good at experiencing. So good at it, in fact, that it seems our subconscious (or maybe some other part of ourselves we will learn more about) runs these programs for us. But for the things we wish were different or that appear to be missing we can put our intention into quiet or active action so that we may bring them into fruition. Decide what it is that you do want and begin your creation from there.

Cavorting With Symbols

There are an infinite number of ways and means to actively and/or deliberately cultivate the experiences we desire – in order to see them evidenced in our 3-D world. Including  a simple, powerful method: using symbols.

Think of any desire, anything you wish to know first hand. Once you have done this imagine any symbol that feels easy and good to you that represents your wish. Whether that wish is a thing, an condition, a feeling….

Your symbol can be something that literally exists or something that exists imagined. Something you’ve seen in life, in magazine or movie. You may want to choose something that is not often viewed (by you and/or others) just to keep it interesting. And whatever sign you decide to make use of, it can relate to your wish in an obvious way – but it does not have to.   As long as it has meaning for you.

As you commit to this symbol, giving it personal meaning, it begins to resonate with the same vibration as your deliberate creation. Every time you think of it, every time you see it, it is not only a reminder of what is is that you are intending – but it is also a message that you are only a fraction of a millimeter, vibrationally, away from it being evidenced in your reality.

You may see this initial symbol only once, as Steve Pavlina mentions in his article about manifesting and alpha- reflections. He writes about his own experience of symbolic messages [that he doesn’t necessarily choose, in this case] showing up in the form of a “noticeable synchronicity.” Or you may see them, whatever they are, a few or many times before you experience your preferred reality.

You can combine playing with symbols with any other manifestation tools that feel in line with your intentions.
Of primary importance is that whatever you choose, it is a symbol that you like and can make use of, in your own mind and heart, with ease.

Some people have asked whether or not it is important to remain private about setting intentions as well as the methods used. Many deliberate creators choose to keep their creative processes wholly private. Perhaps sharing them once the manifestation is evidenced. If you are feeling uncertain about what you should do you may want to first ask yourself:  Does the person require ‘strings attached’ or that favors be traded? What it is you want to ‘get’ from telling others? Why do you want to or feel the need to receive whatever that particular thing is from them?

Choosing to share your intentions (or not) is always a personal decision.  If you discern that those you want to tell are like minded or that they can, in an honest and pure way, assist you in you goals then those may be points to consider.

Beyond this you can weigh the pros and cons for yourself with each objective you commit to. This can help to insure that whatever your decision, it is the right path for you at that time.

Thought, Feeling & Emotion vs. Action

Thought, Feeling & Emotion vs. Action

Are their mixed messages about the level of importance taking external action has when we are consciously intending a new experience? Some say outer-world action is mandatory and might even become angry at the suggestion that this might not be true. A handful of others offer that it’s inner action that creates real shifts in an intender’s reality, regardless of whether or not action is taken in the external world. Still there are teachers who say a midpoint between these two perspectives is all that can ever work. Which view point  is true?

In “Autobiography of a Yogi“, by Paramhansa Yogananda, miracles occur – which could very well obliterate any believer’s attachment to the idea that anything more than cursory inner action [i.e., simply being clear and aware of intention] is required in order to consciously manifest anything. For someone who has committed to the experience of creating what appear to be such miracles-at -will long, drawn out practices or multi-stepped mental exercises might be child’s play, a waste of time even, if wasting time was actually possible.

It also seems evident that not all consistent, conscious manifesters are yogis or full time renunciates. Some people have made use of stepping stones to get to this place in their awareness and abilities and others just seem to be lucky – all the time lucky.

This suggests that the answer to whether or not external action is required is:

it depends…

perhaps on [and including but never limited to]:

Choices, beliefs, experience & the relationship with one’s awareness of being . Before that being-ness tends to be qualified by any external qualities that can be named or identified.

The Law of Detachment. What the….?

Mention the word detachment in any kind of spiritual or metaphysical sense and for many, images of monks, Eastern renunciates, or too-cool-for-school new-agers come to mind. So what does this word detachment really mean?

In terms of the law-of-attraction it means freedom from all concerns and it can actually offer hope. And more than hope it is the reminder of a promise that everything you’ve ever desired is already so. It’s already yours. How could this be true?

The construction of your world, your universe and the universe at large may be different that you’ve been trained to believe. The awareness of a possibly more accurate understanding of the nature of reality and how it manifests may very well explain why detachment is logical – and why it may be in our best interest to practice detachment whenever possible.

The Holographic Universe

In the early 1980’s physicist Alain Aspect discovered that subatomic particles could communicate with each other instantaneously, no matter their distance apart. This flew in the face of Einstein’s theory that nothing can move or do anything faster than the speed of light.

Because of Aspect’s findings, another physicist, David Bohm, asserted that though much in reality appeared to be solid, it may not be. And that there may be no such thing as objective reality. Objective reality – meaning that which maintains a state of truth whether one believes it or not. If we add that to believing that each of us is a separate individual and that everything in existence also maintains a separateness from all other things we are then believing in an objective reality.

So why would Bohm say this? Because, first, he understood the basic nature of a simple hologram.

A man-made hologram is a 3-dimensional photograph created with the aid of a laser. If we wanted to make a hologram of a strawberry it would first be flooded in the beam of laser light #1. Then the light of laser beam # 2 is bounced off of the reflected light of laser beam # 1. This results in an interference pattern (think, of dropping two identical pebbles in a pond and imagine where their concentric water circles meet midway) and this interference pattern is what is photographed.

At this stage the film may not look like much. But as soon as soon as another laser beam is passed through it a 3-dimensional image of the strawberry becomes evident. If the film is cut in half and a laser passed through it again, an image of the original strawberry, in 3-D will still appear. Cut these pieces in half and they will continue, with the aid of a laser beam, to present a smaller but intact 3-dimensional images of the original strawberry. This is the difference between a common photograph and a holographic one. The hologram contains all the information of the whole within all of it’s parts.

David Bohm believed that subatomic particles were not mysteriously communicating, even at what appeared to be great distances. But rather that no matter what it looked like, they were not really separate at all. That their separateness was in actuality some great illusion. That no subatomic particle (of which all things and humans are made) is individual, existing on its own – but rather is a part of or expansion of something much larger. And that the only reason we are unable to see or understand this easily is because of our ‘position’ or perspective related the the whole or greater something.

Reality, may in fact, be some kind of super or meta-hologram. If this is true our universe could very well contain some very surprising qualities. Even the notions of location, time and space would have to be reconsidered. As well as the infiniteness of all possibilities of reality. Past, future and in the Now. Which would all, ultimately be the same moment – both as ‘realities’ and ‘potentials.’

If our meta-universe is a multidimensional, multi-frequency grid which has brought forth everything in existence that ever has been, or or ever will be it could be seen or experienced as Infinite Be-ing.

If we, as human-beings are in relationship with the Infinite Be-ing of All That Is how could we consciously interact with it?

Answer: via our thoughts.

And so this brings us back to the law-of-attraction and detachment.

Considering the model of the holographic universe as infinite, and that Mind is how we interact with it, it then being within us projecting ‘outward,’ then everything we could ever want already exists. Not as a spiritual cliche, but literally. All potential versions of your experience/experiences other than the one you are currently experiencing already exist. So how do we experience what we do want if we’re not enjoying what we see? Via our vibrational frequency or our activty of Mind.  Because it’s not about where or when it exists but rather on which vibrational frequency it lives, so to say. We literally have to line up our frequency with that which we want to deliberately experience and we will resonate or oscillate into the experience. Like fine tuning the dial to a particular radio station. And knowing that what you want already exists for you, whether it is a condition, an experience or thing, does it make much sense to still be in a wanting place when you now know it is already so? It’s kind of like knowing that you are in Rome and your favorite car is in the garage next to the home you own in London. How do you then receive it? What are the things you need to do to experience being in London so you can easily retrieve you car? This favorite car you already own? Likely you won’t stress about not having the car. Because you know it’s already yours. So all you have to do is get into alignment, be in alignment with being in London, in your car .

We can relieve ourselves of the wanting and just focus on the having by aligning ourselves with anything that matches the vibration of it for us in thought, feeling and/or emotion. Activating any of the senses in imagination, really, will do. Or also, inspired action. And any ‘law of attraction’ exercises or practices that do this for you are exactly the ‘right’ ones.

Everything is as it should be….Everything is right….Everything happens for a reason….

Some people have asked how each of these statements could be true without contradicting each other. But do they contradict each other?

What if each person, upon hearing these words agreed on their definitions in part but not in their entirety. Confusion and disagreements could certainly ensue.

Words – once spoken, written or published as gospel – exist with the possibility of becoming fixed, frozen in time. No longer malleable. But what if what we have believed as non-negotiable truth [as real] is not only malleable but also entirely changeable?

The universe works in some ways that are still quite mysterious and in other ways that we believe are known.  And each of the statements above are very much in alignment with at least one popular concept: the law or principle-of-attraction.

Let’s address them one at a time.

Everything is as it should be:

It may be the word “should” that might not work for everyone. But as the underlying mechanisms and laws of universe are working, our human input and/or interactions within the universe are existing within this context: the universal machine is working perfectly, without judgement or bias. Like a perfect computer – data in (our input) = results out.

So whether or not we are feeling an appreciation for what we are experiencing in life, everything is working perfectly, the universal computer is on task. And therefore everything is at is should be when we are looking at our conditions, experiences and outcomes. It is up to us to work with the machine more consciously, if we want a shift in our reality, so that we may work with it in ways that result in joyous be-ing, in a joyous life.

Everything is right:

Everything is right does not necessarily mean that everything is good or wonderful or fair in any kind of obvious way. It simply means, in terms of the principle-of-attraction, that everything is reflected perfectly back from the input source. This can be thought in the form of a belief, mental blueprint or identity sense .

Imagine standing inside a very immense tapestry-like, cloth-sphere. All around you is this super-large, blank canvas, surrounding you in every direction. This is a magic canvas because every concept you claim, every belief – whether it is deemed conscious or subconscious – it projected onto that canvas, creating a 3-dimensional, moving tapestry that is, actually becomes your life. Everything is then right – by accurately projecting the input onto the screen of awareness.

Everything happens for a reason:

In this case “reason” just means “cause.” Everything happens as the result of a first cause – a thought in the form of a belief, intention or identity sense pushed out as reality. In this way there is always a reason. But it is not about judgment or punishment from ‘out there’ or an ego-plagued, all mysterious, wrathful god. But rather the interweaving of vibrations or frequencies which materialize as the ‘reality’ of  an individuated consciousness – the details of which are determined by dominant mental blueprints. This is what creates or designs a subjective world. And it is the same thing that can be used, with focused intention, to recreate or design a new subjective world.
