Anatomy of the Spirit

2010-03-03T15:28:00.000-08:00

Encoded within your body is an energy system linking your spiritual anatomy. Through it you have direct access to the divine energy that seamlessly connects all life. Anatomy of the Spirit is the human body's hidden energetic structures, its precise spiritual code and relationship to the sacred energy of creation.

The human body is an energetic system, a spiritual compass pointing the way to the divine. By honoring this inborn code, you can learn to see the symbolic blocks within your energy centers and their correlations with your health, relationships, and spiritual development.* Our soul is a form of energy. It enters and exists in our bodies through seven points called chakras.
* The soul, our energy, is made up of our thoughts and feelings. What we think and feel affects the development of our soul.
* Our thoughts are like electric energy, an infinite and continuous flow. What we send out into the world in the form of thoughts and questions follows the law of intelligence.
* Our feelings are like magnetic energy, pulling us into circumstance after circumstance like a magnet pulls itself to steel or to another magnet. What we feel inside follows the law of attraction.

The energy we feel inside ourselves is made up of our feelings, thoughts, and questions. Sometimes we consciously acknowledge these feelings and thoughts - whether they involve family, work, or leisure - and sometimes we don't. Regardless, the energy is there and it affects our lives. We can't change that. What we can change is how it affects our lives.

Inner Peace and Outer Harmony

2010-02-11T08:21:00.000-08:00

Thoughts and ambition are turned inward for growth not outward for conflict....

Lately on another site I am a member of I sadly was caught up in such a dilemma
and what caused my heart dismay was it happened with those of whom I respected
for showing spiritual enlightenment.
But this is not the first time this has happened and no doubt will not be the last.
When following a true spiritual path we are always learning and growing, sadly
I seem to be a magnet for those who use their spiritual wisdom to cause conflict,
and what is more concerning is they are truly unaware of it due to the festering
within there heart which leads them to be controlling in manner.
If matters of the heart cause you pain or you are offended by others in some way,
bide time, and think how can I spread peace within this dilemma, without condemning
people and calling them names.
Some people may be inflicted by racism, I have lived with this issue for many years,
I have lived in many parts of the world and know how peoples lives are so different
in thought, mind and deed, still I do not condemn those, who for want of a better word,
feel they see the world and its affairs from another angle, they may have personal
reasons for thinking so, and to label this racism every opportunity you get, is a matter
that needs reflecting on.
Our minds just need to be opened, Character is strengthened. Self reliance is discovered.
In this way knowledge and desire do not interfere with others
Inner strength replaces outer show.
Competition and co-operation are opposites, each created by the other.
From the first comes dissension from the second comes dependence.
Between the opposites of everything is inner virtuous power, it occurs when
nothing extraordinary happens; when people are not devious, when the intelligent are not cunning, when the unfortunate are not neglected...
There is inner peace in outer harmony.
When there is inner peace, the common is profound.
When there is outer harmony everything seems ordinary.

A quote from "The Tao of Being":
The sea is above the hundred rivers because it is below them,
therefore, the sage serves from below, guides from beneath, leads from behind.
Because the sage is humble, the people are not oppressed. Because they are not oppressed,
they trust, because they are not lead, they follow.
When the sage struggles with no one, no one can struggle in return.

Avoiding Extremes

2010-02-10T14:43:00.000-08:00

From the instant a winner is declared, a loser is created.
Low arises from High, work from play, difficult from easy, uncertainty from confidence,
not enough from too much...
Trapped by mutual arising all our thinking and doing is caught within one or other.
If there is need then there will be neglect.
Success will bring failure.
Ignorance will follow knowledge
Go softly and patiently, when there is Resistance there has been pushing...
and that is not the way....
Be moved in the direction of mystery.
Yield and learn until there is an easing between.
Do too much and there will be trouble, think too much and there will be confusion.
Let the natural order arise of itself.
When there is silent filling and emptying, everything arises and subsides in
it's harmonious way and the natural unfolding is not disturbed.
Though nothing is given, nothing is denied.
There is nurturing but not forcing, balance but not dividing,
Work is done but no credit taken.
When a task is finished, it is forgotten.
Not doing receives as much as doing.
Emptiness fills with thoughts

One Love, One Life, One Faith

2010-02-02T04:43:00.000-08:00

If a thousand years was just one thought
we still have time to change our ways
Join your arms in friendship
this really is the time to celebrate
one love, one life, one faith....

Truth

To be a gift one must receive

2010-01-09T06:15:00.000-08:00

Very few understand to be a gift one must receive~
More then one gives, Love is harder to accept then to give~
To love is to embrace life.
Happy New year 2010.

We Grow by Shining a Light on the Minds darkest Places

2009-09-26T10:45:00.000-07:00

If we feel distressed, embarrassment or anger, we think we've really blown it.
Yet feeling emotional upheaval is not a spiritual faux pass, it's the place where the warrior learns
compassion.
It's were we learn to stop struggling with our self.
It's only when we can dwell in these places that scare you that equanimity becomes unshakable
We are very much like a person who finds a jewel buried in a heep of garbage, right here in what we'd like to throw away, in what we find repulsive and frightening, we discover the warmth
and clarity of "Bodhichitta"
"The Mind of Enlightenment"

Fragile

2009-09-17T15:17:00.000-07:00

The external world is fragile
and he who meddles with it's natural way,
risks causing damage to himself,
He who tries to grasp it,
thereby loses it ....

Abandon nothing, Take up nothing, Rest, abide in yourself,
just as you are....

Energy Sensitivity

2009-09-04T01:40:00.000-07:00

Psychic Vamprism
Not everyone has a normal energy cycle, some sleep irregularly and are sometimes energised when they should be fatigued.

Energetically we are not all balanced as nature would seem to prefer it
for one reason or another.....
Most people are like an atomic breeder reader.... they take in some energy but produce usable energy then they need, some people who are like this will often
take up practices like healing touch.
They learn of how their energy benifits others....
those who discover they overflow with energy often also learn of how to best harmonise their energy with people they help and with their environment, and even manage it better so it will go where they intend it to and not go crazy~ it will not get them into trouble or deplete them badly.
A psychic vampire is the opposite of this, they are not necessarily evil, and do develop
a sensitivity for energy if they are self aware.
They're just hungry. Mana eaters.
Unfortunately their energy is not harmonious... it is draining!!
One of the marks of a psychic vampire is that they are often polite and very likely
not draining you on purpose, they often want to be 'the light' but often their life does
not reflect it. A psychic vampire tends to understand negativity very well.
Psychic Vampires when unaware they tend to be angry people and you can feel it
because they dont just drain you, they negate you, even if they are'nt being mean to you,
it is just very hard to be present with them.
A psychic vampire always makes a big impact but is the opposite of a' light worker'
For a psychic vampire, instead of people being enlivened, invigorated, and made to feel good,
they instead are deadend, and find the person dark....
The dark in the light....
I have unfortunately come across several so called psychics who have had
this effect on me personally and I was unaware of their influence upon my energy...
It has been a massive learning curve within my spiritual journey...
It is not fear of their path... as they claim.... but their energy that was draining
I have learnt alot this year having been subjected to such people whom themselves
do not realise how they impact on others....
They may not mean to intentionally... but the energy they give is real and unfortunately draining ... now I understand why!!
I felt heavy for almost a year under the subjection of such people
but now I understand the cause... I can move along my spiritual path
with light and strength within myself.... still with an open mind
and descernment.

Emotionally Needy

2009-09-01T03:41:00.000-07:00

When following a spiritual path be mindful of the emotionally needy!!
These individuals will drain your joy, wreck your soul...

Stay cognizant of the emotionally greedy
Who require grand accolades and attention to feel whole...
Not realising that wholeness is found within....
Not realising the world does not revolve around them....
Not realising you can't actually put them together again...
(By Cordiet B)

This has been a big learning curve on my spiritual journey!!
The sadness is those who claim they are deeply spiritual
are often those who use and drain you for their needs
So far this has been my experience
I do thankfully have the insight to see this
and my sadness is these people who claim they are deeply spiritual
are trapped and will use and hurt others who feed their need.
There are people with too much energy~ they will be looking for an outlet
there energy is not harmonious.....
Another person on the other hand will have a harmonious mana.....

The Finest Treasure

2009-08-24T03:56:00.000-07:00

If the body is worked hard without rest, it gets worn out,If the spirit is used ceaselessly it becomes tired,
and when tired becomes exhausted....
It is the nature of water, if pure to be clear, and if not disturbed to be level....
But when it is blocked and not allowed to flow, it can't preserve it's clarity.
This is an image of the virtue of Heaven.
"To be innocent and pure"
"To be still and constant"
"To be indifferent, doing nothing ...
is to move and act like heaven.....

When the Tao Practitioner acheives a state of awareness through understanding the
workings of nature there is a depth of perception which means becoming conscious
of the natural flow of life.
Normal everyday living has a way of interfering with this perception
and it becomes quite difficult to hold on to the concept!
Nature is also a manifestation of the Tao.
Tao is both everywhere and nowhere....
and we can learn to live in harmony with nature....
Nature does not posses desire...
Without desire the heart becomes quiet .....

The Essence of Tao

2009-08-09T15:03:00.000-07:00

Tao meaning "The Way"
Refers to a power that envelopes, surrounds and flows through all things
both living and sentient.
It regulates natural processes and nourishes balance in the universe.
But in the words of the sage:
"Its name is formless"
This means that any exploration of it starts from a position of ignorance
and any journey we undertake to reach an understanding of it is of necessity,
entirely personal. No two paths will be identical.
Tao has both reality and substance but it does nothing and has no material form.
It fills heaven and earth and envelopes everything within the universe.

Tao ~
To be innocent and pure
To be still and constant
To be indifferent doing nothing
Is to move and act like heaven
This is the Tao of nourishing spirit

Spiritual Logic

2009-08-05T04:07:00.000-07:00

Unlike common human logic which imposes judemental, self imposed boundries,
self induced limitation etc. spiritual logic understands no limitation.

There is no such thing as too big, too small, not enough, too much,
Spiritual logic understands no boundries or limitations whatsoever.
Through spiritual logic there exists and becomes possible life experience limited only by
that which "YOU PERSONALLY CHOOSE TO ALLOW AND YOURSELF TO EXPERIENCE"

Spiritual logic contains only infinite possibility, absent judgement .....

Human logic consisits of a limited and conditional love based on various conditions
and chooses to provide or not, based on actions.
Spiritual logic consisits of "unconditional love" and provides precisely that which
"YOU REQUEST" what ever that may be .....

Perception of Thought - Equinimity

2009-08-01T14:06:00.000-07:00

Our mind the instrument of conceptual thinking
Attachment is produced towards what we like
and aversion is produced towards what we dislike.
One who is impartial to both ~ie~like as well as dislike is
"EQUANIMOUS"
That is to say only he/she is equanimous whose perception is pure
and uncontaminated by attachment and/or aversion.
Our minds when we follow the significance of such perception
is that the "spiritual self"

"Cultivating Spiritual Presence"

An unchanging eternal unity

2009-07-14T02:30:00.000-07:00

Exists beneath forms, perceptions and circumstances....
Beyond judgement of good and evil,
Beyond the reach of the senses....
Aligned with natural law that engage the tendencies of mind and body in service to life,
The body is designed to heal itself.
Appreciation, gratitude and love replace negative habit of thought and return awareness to the
present.
Incoherent energies come into harmony.
"All true teachings point the finger of understanding back to the heart"
The mind rests in the supreme joy of the ascendant its source
fulfilling it's purpose as the servant of life .....
The servant of the heart!

Clouds & Shadows - Learnng to let go

2009-07-11T02:24:00.000-07:00

We are unable to see our central weaknesses by ourselves
They are masked from us by layers of clouds and shadows....
Others see them quiet clearly.
But to our limited vision these flaws remain invisible.
These traits remain unconscious and sabotage our spiritual possibilities.
A majority of our difficulties are triggered by psycho-spiritual problems,
A core collection of behavioural reactions that like a puppet master
"pulls our strings"
This is part of the struggle of "Heart and Mind".

Part of the struggle of heart and mind is centered on illusion and perception,
two processes familiar to spiritual teachers and therapists.
Enlightenment ~ Seeing directly into our own nature ~ is always just a step away
hidden in our own sight~
Nothing but our own minds veil us from it

Learning to Let Go - The Struggle of Heart and Mind

2009-07-09T01:29:00.000-07:00

"The True Work of the Spirit"
Each conflict we encounter in our daily activities is not only an ordinary transaction
with life but a sacred transaction as well, and therefore an opportunity for spiritual growth.
We grow not by escaping those daily conflicts or making them go away, but by using them
as raw materials in the process of self transformation.
As ordinary people in a difficult world, we are asked to take the commonplace activities
that occur to us hour by hour, and to discover the spiritual lessons inherent in them.
The struggle of mind and heart, when all said and done, is a struggle to turn the ordinary
into the extraordinary.
The Human Heart contains knowledge of everything in the universe .....
But there is a veil that covers this knowledge ..... "Many Veils"
In psychological terms "Every man has a certain feature in his character which is central"
It is like an axle around which all false personality revolves.
This fault - or sometimes cluster of faults- is also recognised in psychotherapy where
it is defined as the dominant illusion or network of defense mechanisms that keep us
from seeing ourselves clearly.
Each of us, in this regard has our own version of the above....
In Jungian Psychology, the segment of the unconscious where these variations on
the same dark theme lurk is referred to as "The Shadow"
"When an individual makes an attempt to see his shadow"...."He becomes aware of those
qualities and impulses he denies in himself....
It is easy to say "That doesn't matter nobody will notice it".... when ever we find ourselves
saying these words, we can be sure we are covering ourselves with veils,
with the deep. self-sustaining illusions that keep us from seeing the truth about our
behaviour. This is one reason why confession of these matters - sincere acknowledgement
of fault- is such a necessary part of every spiritual path.
Each of us have scar tissue from the wounds of the past.....
In adulthood these scars become like psychic knots blocking our receptivity to spiritual
influences.....
Yet just as the sun is always shining behind the clouds, waiting to break through,
Higher influences are there waiting for our psychological clouds to part.

Intent is a Seed in Consciousness

2009-07-07T02:51:00.000-07:00

Intent has its own "infinite organising power"
Intent has within it the mechanism's for it's own fulfillment
like a seed has within it everything it needs to become the tree, the flower,
and the fruit.

I don't have to do anything with that seed, I just have to put it in the ground
and water it ...
The seed itself without any prompting will create everything thereafter....
Intent is a seed in consciousness or spirit, if you pay attention to it, it has within it
the means for its own fulfillment.
Intention's infinite organizing power orchestrates countless details simultaneously.
We can restore the power of intent through the return to the true self
or self-actualization.

Everyone Has The Capasity to Unlock Their Full Potential

2009-07-05T05:45:00.000-07:00

The Quantum Method for manifesting your life dreams.....
This is deeper and greater confidence in ...
"YOUR OWN BEINGNESS"

No offence to those who believe but forget the psychic, the occult, the supernatural
and all the mind~set and emotional baggage that goes with those terms
and the world they conjure up
Think instead about discovering a part of yourself that you didn't know existed.....
Research has shown that proving to yourself through your own powers~ that part
of you exists independent of the limitations of time and space is an exilarating experience....
It makes you look at yourself and the world differently.....

Everyone has the capasity to unlock their full potential~
Everyone can make lasting changes in their life
"Starting with Powerful Intentions"

To Think Outside The Box !!

2009-07-05T04:44:00.000-07:00

The difference between "Local ~Mind" and "Non Local Mind" .....

The local -mind is personal and individual to each of us
it holds our ego, the self defined "I"
By its very nature the local mind separates us from the rest of creation.....
It puts up thick artificial boundries that many of us feel compelled to defend
even when this means cutting ourself off from the deeper meaning and joyous connections
that comes from feeling part of the universal....

Local -mind is plodding,exausting and rational with no sense of whmsy and creativity ~
it requires constant attention and approval, and is therefore prone to fear, disapointment
and pain....

Nonlocal~Mind:
It is pure soul and spirit ~ known as universal consciousness
Operating outside the boundries of "normal"...
It allows us to imagine beyond the boundries of what local -mind sees as "possible"
"To think outside the box!!"
The creative leaps taken by non-local mind has been supported by science .....
" Opening to the Infinite"
The Quantum Method
For manifesting your life dreams....
This is deeper and greater confidence in your own
"BEINGNESS"

Every Creativity is Orchestrated Through Intent...

2009-07-02T14:17:00.000-07:00

Creativity occures at the individual level ...

but it also occures universally.

Intent comes from the universal soul
becomes localized in an individual soul
and is finally expressed through an individual mind

We create memories which are the basis of imagination and desire
Desire is the basis of action
When intention is repeated, that creates habit
The more an intention is repeated the more likely it is that the universal
conciousness will create the same pattern and manifest the intention
in the physical world.....
As a human being we are use to thinking of our individual selves as "I"
without noticing or appreciating the greater universal.... "I"
That is also called the universal Soul .......
The use of the word "I" is merely a clever reference point we use
for locating our uniique point of view
with the universal soul
When we define ourselves solely as an individual "I" we loose the ability
to imagine beyond the boundries of what is traditionally considered possible.
In the universal "I" everything is not only possible it already exists
and simply requires intent to collapse it into the physical world.
It is the difference between the individual "I" or "local mind"
and the universal "I" or "Non local mind" .......
We have the ability through the local mind.... the local "I" to make choices
through intention.....
The non local mind..... the non local "I" will take care of the details
"SYNCHRONISTICALLY"
To fulfill the intention

Non local mind is pure soul and spirit ~
Non local mind connects all things ........ because it is all things
It requires no attention, no energy, no approval ..... it is whole
unto itself and therefore attracks love and acceptance.
It is imminently creative, the source from which all creation flows,
It allows us to imagine beyond the boundries of what local mind sees
as possible....
"To think outside the box"

Intent is the very basis of Creation

2009-06-30T23:08:00.000-07:00

Intent is responsible for more then cognition and perception
All learning, remembering, reasoning, drawing of inferences and motor activity
are preceded by intent.

**Intent is the basis of Creation**

**You are what your deepest desire is**
**As is your desire, so is your intention**
** As is your intention, so is your will**
** As is your will, so is your deed**
**As is your deed, so is your destiny**

Our destiny ultimately comes from the deepest level of desire and also
from the deepest part of intention.
The two are intimately linked to each other

What is intention????
It is a way of fulfulling a certain need that you have....
Intention is a thought that you have that will help you fulfill that need
whether it be for relationship, spiritual fulfillment or for love....
And the logic is that once you forfill that need you will be happy.....
Seen this way the goal of all our intentions is to be happy or fulfilled.
The ultimate goal or all goals is a fulfillment at the spiritual level
that we call happiness or joy or love....

**All the activity in the universe is generated by intention**
**Intent is a force of Nature**

Intention

2009-06-30T02:18:00.000-07:00

Every thing that happens in the universe starts with intention
This intention always arises in the non-local or universal mind but it localizes through the
individual mind and having localized it becomes physical reality
Infact physical reality would not exist were it not for intent.
Intent activiates nonlocal synchronized correlation in the brain, whenever there is cognition
or perception or physical reality.
The brains regions show a "phase and frequency locking in" of the firing patterns of
individual neurons in different parts of the brain.
This is nonlocal synchronization~ also called blinding, is a requirement for cognition,
without it you would not see a person as a person, a house as a house, a tree as a tree,
or a face in a photograph as a face.
The beauty of life......
