What else is going to happen?

In the midst of uncertainty, the undisciplined mind will query, what else is going to happen? You can choose to dwell on things you cannot change or, those things you can.

More than two thousand years ago, Socrates wrote the soul does not die, but lives on. If you share this view, and believe souls are energy forms, then you may wonder what is happening to you now that you do not yet see.   As you read energy in events, you begin to sense your evolving awareness. How often do you experience the power of telepathy?

Anytime you discern a negative feeling within, the positive feeling is also present.  Something beyond you also knows all your thoughts and plans before you are aware.   Emotions evoked inside concerning present events are always invitations to get stronger.  As you are invited to love yourself more, how does your sensitive soul respond?

Part of you is unaware of the essence of soul, how it shapes your sense of self and value. Other parts of you are aware of precisely what is happening, why ,and what else will happen. Completeness is balanced well-being. Your energy fields are aligned. Healing is the process of internal changes that re-align conscious awareness with your energies.

If there is something Higher Forces want you to do, then opportunities arise and you make decisons based on your free will.  If Higher Forces do not make certain opportunities available, then you are not guided in those directions.  Focus on what is.

The answers are always available

Recently, I learned that two people I cherish in my life have been diagnosed with serious stages of cancer. If this happens to someone you know, you will choose to view such news in your own way.  Coping, accepting and seeking to understand are phases people will often go through.  Healing begins with choosing new ways of thinking inside yourself.

I find it remarkable how the universe evolves to remind me of what I am really thinking inside and what I believe matters.  For example, while recently participating in a training workshop with a group of women I have known for a few years, it was brought to my attention that many of them are actually cancer survivors or in remission now.  Some volunteered their stories to the group.  Others were talking amongst themselves during tea break.   It was as if my mind was seeking answers and the universe was responding.

One sentiment that echoed from each woman was that the diagnosis of illness was a wake up call to take charge of her life in a different way.  They shifted their attitudes from a focus on longevity to a focus on making the most of what time they had been given.  It was a matter of taking responsibility for their state of mind and physical body or, acknowledging the cancer was a symptom of imbalance or how they had been living.

Many people will not recognize that the answers they seek are always within reach.  They may attribute their state of mind, emotions, body or spirit to something other than the truth.  If you do not recognize what you see or experience, you may attribute some experience to something other than what it is.   Life is an exercise in self-definition.  You learn from other people what you are really thinking but may not yet grasp or admit.

What about another perspective?

People dream night and day and assume visions are inevitable.  Yet, what they believe is not always truth.   Every moment you can choose to transform your understanding.

For instance, death is a topic everyone knows about, but few people feel comfortable discussing it.  How many people do you know who have pre-planned funerals and pre-written obituaries? You may sense impending doom, emptiness, or another reason to create fear and avoid the topic. What if you choose to nurture another perspective?

I used to sing in a choir with women much older than I. When it came to lyrics, they sometimes went so far as to omit verses that mentioned graveyards or references to 'passing on'.  They preferred not to face the topic, thinking that would expedite what they did not want.  They were superstitious as mentioning 'funeral' was almost taboo.

If you know anyone diagnosed with an illness, then you recognize how they react to what they hear.  Some people accept the verdict as carved in stone.  They resolve to die and wait for the grim reaper to arrive at a doorstep.  Other people believe a diagnosis and prognosis are opinions.  These people choose to positively perceive all conditions.  Self-condeming burdens offer lessons just as peaceful reactions to crisis.  You choose.

How you perceive your own dreams tells where you are in your own growth process.  This is not a measurable place with longitude and latitude, but it is not the abyss either.  Nothing is random.  You interpret your experiences based on what you are prepared to accept.  Different levels of love and fear exist.  You choose a perspective, "in the now."

Learn to stop kidding yourself

Human beings of all ages have been known to kid around, to be funny, to joke for fun.  Yet, the degree you sense you get into trouble also relates to ways you kid yourself on deeper levels.  Would you view this kind of belief as a lapse? Have you ever felt unloved?

For instance, if you choose to engage in romance with someone you do not love, or even marry such a person,  then you are creating inner conflict.  This will result in unnecessary stress and health problems even if you do not initially make the connection.  When you refuse to be honest with yourself,  you hesitate to open your heart in ways to heal soul. 

You may have observed other people bring on their own discomfort. Everyone can learn to make decisions not based on neediness, but out of selfless respect for another.  The process of evolving toward being humble and egoless is part of the journey of life.

Another reason to stop kidding yourself may relate to your perceived physiological or emotional state.  If you think you have nothing to do with how you feel, or why your body is deteriorating, then you are unaware.  To discover a disease is a symptom of something deeper.  It reveals clues about addiction or other self-defeating behavior.  Learn to discern the core issues.  Then, you can take steps to heal in ways that astound yourself. 

How many people get diagnosed with illnesses and miraculously heal themselves? The number is irrelevant.  These  people do not kid themselves about what is possible.  They take responsibility for how they think and raise awareness about causes of their beliefs.  You have no reason to make fun of yourself or criticize your current predicament.  Whatever your state of health, it is a blessing. You have the power to transform.

In a nutshell, illness of any kind reveals your soul desired to challenge what you believe. Now, you are ready to redefine what it means to kid yourself. This means learning to dissolve the cynic, the doubter, and the judge.  As you learn to strengthen a sense of unconditional love, you discover this is strongest power you can tap into at any moment. 

How do you work through resistances?

Resistances are mental blocks humans create for different reasons.  Many people don't realize their behavior reflects resistance.  You may think you procrastinate or, believe you're simply shifting priorities, when your underlying motivation tells a different story.

As you oppose or withstand situations, you may not realize that you also block energy flow.  This is reflected in physical tension and bodily sensations.  Your mind moves to focus on a vision you create.  What if your new goal was to refocus, even temporarily?

To raise awareness about your physical reactions helps you discern when you are resisting something.  Your mind isn't always ready to recognize or acknowledge this.  Yet, physiological signs always offer insight.  If your muscles are tight, your body is sending you a message.  If you sense imbalances, they convey valuable messages as well.

Before you can work through resistances, you need to learn to recognize what they are and when you put up your own walls.  Why you do this is something you will figure out as you learn to pay more attention.  What does your body tell you? Are you familiar with your base feelings and energy level? Its meaningful to learn to discern what feels natural.

Working through resistence requires that you evolve to "tune in" and sense your body's subtle energy.  Healing helps you realize that patterns of emotional turmoil can be broken.  Each person chooses his or her own pace.  You decide when you heal and how. 

Belief predetermines outcome.  Real life and your experiences with love enable you to come to your own conclusions.  It has been widely agreed that the truth is always felt.
