Self Reliance...

This has been an American theme even before the famous writings of our forefathers...

but do we believe it?

Believe is the word...

do you believe in a savior?
Or do you Know inside who your are?

Can you reley on yourself?

Can you trust yourself?

Or do you depend on others to save your bu...hind...?

this is indeed the coming crisis in the US and around the world...
do  you know that every culture has in its roots a Savior Story?

This seems to be due to us entering the sign of Pisces in the Procession of the equinoxes, about 2000 years ago and the age of belief was ushered in.  I believe is the keyword of Pisces...

The age of Aquarius has a few years left to go to get into it but many of us on the planet are getting into the mind set or consciousness now...

The key word is 'I know'
It is the looking inside for the savior and knowing that
You are that one and that all is alright...

It is joining with a few friends in small groups and meditating on love - mutual support...

Remember how in Sep 9 -11 we all pulled together?
This is the knowing spirit of Self Reliance...

we didn't wait for a savior of the government to do XXXX we just got in there and did it...
this is spirit of 'I know'

As we move through the next few years -this coming year especially .
see how people are moving into a more spiritual mindset,, but...
look to polarization of two divers groups...

One spirituality based on or driven by fear...
you do this or....

The other is based on Love or mutual support...
small groups getting together to share their energies in creating love...
mutual support...

So as you are moving around meeting others:
Observe to see if they are manipulating others to believe there way...
Or if they are just there to support others finding there own way...

Spirituality by coercion, domination or fear...or fight the enemy etc., etc.
or
Spirituality by helping others find there own way...
with like minded folks getting together to share energies for the common good...

so Develop Self Reliance...

Somewhere in the night...

Magic happens
the World turns
Stars fall, comets move, dreams come and go, the Asian markets go up and down...
We sleep, we dream, we seldom remember...
though some do...

What do we do consciously?...
'I am neither mind nor body
Immortal self I am
I am Witness of 3 states
I am Knowledge absolute'

I quoted this song a short time back...
What are the 3 states?
Is consciousness one of the 3 states?
sort of...
Waking, dream, deep sleep are the 3 states...
Lets look at Waking state...

We have the conscious state here
- the one where you are HERE !
we also have the subconscious states the automatic states...
the habit states of mind...
we may call this the excuse state...
You know: my car broke down, my cat puked on the carpet, I ran out of gas, I got the wrong directions, and so on and and on...

When will take the move to choose to be our own commander and live by our word...
I will be here at 8 o'clock sharp - but it's OK if the traffic keeps me away...
well we all depend on what another says or does if they are part of our team....

So the challenge here is can you create?

or do you just follow the currents?
Can you create you own path when the currents are going the other way?
Can you make it to where you say you will be on time?
It is a miracle if you can...

and many do have this spiritual power to move heaven and earth to do so...

if you can't as yet
-- you haven't developed this in you.
so the conscious state has a lot to master in it...

but who it the 'witness of 3 states?'
that is what you can find...
for now just know that some do and you can also, learn to monitor all 3 of these states...

I am I here now? (Interest, inquisitive) ...
'no i was thinking of a chocolate cake'a nice day dream
- but is it effective in traveling to your target?
Or will end somewhere in the night on a rock like the Alaskan Valdez oil tanker?

Are you asleep at the wheel?
Or do you even know there is a Wheel in your life?

Some regularly remember their dreams,
David could even interpret them for Pharaohs..

Awakening day!
What more can you become?
Just remember Clint " A man's got to know his limitations"

while your body can't fly (Though I love the dreams in which I do just that)
we can astrally do so;
we can create devises and machines to fly with...

It is all about that witness
- who is that?

OMMM....

Duty Calls...

The sound of the bugles calls to duty...

In this day & age you are here by choice - western world anyway...
What ever duty you take on - give it your all.

If you are a mother - do your duty, a father - same... you know
be responsible....

but what does this mean?

re- sponse -able = able to respond - I add correctly & appropriately respond...

this means you are present, here, awake, rested, in a neutral mood, and ready to assume the proper response.

So you need to do your duty to your self first... so you can be ready...

Right food ( not drunk)
attitude, - positive thinking and mediation
balanced exercise,
mood under control
right training...

think about these things...
do your self first...
to respond Be Prepared

Use Sex...

Gold is found in many places, but looks ugly in most...

Why? because it needs to be purified...

sometimes it is found as a pure nugget
~ beautiful, shiny, valuable

But more of it is in the tailing of the mine, bonded with the dirt or other minerals.

One way to get at it is to heat it to high temperatures so that all is left is the Pure Gold...

Other methods are there as well.

|The basic idea is to raise the vibration of the sample to pure gold by eliminating all of the impurities...

The same in consciousness...

Lets look at Sex for example
(I see my friend on Sparking Gold blogged about Sex today)

do you know the highest searches on the internet are on Sex related?

Pron out sells them all...

so lets individually take this energy and purify it...

How? Tantra Yoga, use Colin's gazing exercise he mentioned.

Raise the vibration from the porn arena to the empowering launch pad...

This is a very powerful force in our lives - we have been trained to stifle the sex drive...
Sure try to hold, Vesuvius down...
Mt St Helen's...

So better to try to work with this energy, refine it, use it for empowerment and consciousness raising...
and healing too.. this force will heal...

think and grow rich talked about channeling & controlling this force into sales and business...

Through a hand shake, a gaze, the power of your words...

Gandhi had sex 4 times producing 4 kids and birthed a Nation... he took a vow of celibacy.

But this is not for everyone.

I Believe God has given you a path to follow... follow this path and
uplift yourself at every occasion...

CANI  = Constant And Never Ending Improvement...

this principle is:

Purify

Appreciation...Hisss...

Appreciate the beauty around you...

Appreciate the diversity around you...

Everyone has their own way...

You go yours... let them go theirs

Let them be "right' in their own world...

You be you in yours...

Appreciation....

when you find mean people  appreciate their intensity and just move on...

But it is ok to hiss... if you need too...just be calm inside inside...

The Snake...

This one slithered one day up to scantily clad old man with a long beard,
he coiled ready to strike - anticipating an stick or stone attack on himself...
But he found the old man just calmly sitting, a little smile on his face, eyes half open...

So the snake sat coiled and waited to see what would happen.
Nothing happened, after several hours, after several days,...

It was getting cold fall time...so the snake inched closer and finally after no harmful actions from the old man sitting...
he climbed up into his lap.... It was comfy and warm...

The old man the next morning said to snake , thank you for keeping me company, I must go now, is the something I can give you?

Then snake just said he wanted to have the peace the old man has... The saintly old man agreed and gave him instructions on what to do.

One these was of course do no harm - don't bite anyone...the old man left.

Years latter he returned to the same place and inquired in the village about his student the snake?
No one had seen him for several years, none were bitten either...

so the Saint sat in the same spot and waited.

After a few days the snake slowly crept up to him - all battered and disfigured...sat in the saints lap...
With a twinkle in his eyes the Old saint asked him what had happened?
The snake explained that when the villagers discovered he would no longer bite,
Kids just tormented him, beating him with sticks and stones....
so he just crawled under a rock and hid...

The saint chuckled and said gently
~ "I didn't say you couldn't hiss !"

Hissing is OK, anger is not...

It's the inner state that matters....

Appreciation

Hiss if necessary...

Helpfulness...

Many ways to give

Your time, money, resources, advice...

Most of the time we do so for money, for an exchange.

If that is all you do - that is fine...

You may want to just give a little more each time,
than you are paid for.

Do-gooders are really a pain in the ass
just like kids who squeeze their pet rabbit
too hard and kill them -believing they are showing them love...

The rabbit didn't think so....

Learning to be helpful is an art. You can waste a lot of time
just looking for ways to help others...

I know a famous American Chi gong master living in a mansion now, who was broke, hungry, living on the street. A wealthy insurance man found him.
Invited him into his conference room, to have all the coffee and tea he wanted,
to stay as long as he liked during the days of the coming week; to listen to Nightingale Conant records.

This changed his life.
Gave him a way out, hope, a goal and A plan of action...

This was helpful, not a do-gooder...

If a person asks ~ help them ~if you can. (If you have the resources, time etc.)
The wise know when to keep silent (which is most of time)
The stupid try to convert everyone they meet...

If you are waling down the street and nice older lady
has a bit of trouble getting up the curb - help her
and walk on...(you are not really going out of your way)

You see a person on the side of street car broken down, dark night, not many around?
How to help?
Call the police or 9-1-1 stay in your car for both of your safety sake...

This is an Art, not a requirement.

You know the joke about God on the back of the bike?
Guy struggling to pedal up the hill asks the almighty for help...
God gets on the back of the bike - a 2 seater and pedals as well...
Guy finds it so easy he crosses his arms, light a cigarette and stops pedaling...
Bike stops, Guy asks God -what happened?
God answers...I said I would help, not do it for you...

Maybe you just need to give someone

your little smile, that may help more than you know...

Hug your self...

Helpfulness

Silence....

In the Silence is:

readiness, willingness, focus

The Tiger, when stalking prey, is silent;
purring after words...

When we are focused we breath slowly - only a little...

the mind becomes sharp,

all senses are "listening"

Ever been in an auto accident?  Time slows down...

Be the tiger

when planning your work - keep silence...
when doing the hardest task --- keep silence...

If you are chattering away while you work...
your mind is not in it and you are on auto pilot...

there is a time for everything...

When you need more focus:
keep the silence

then:

feel the purring of success...
