Detach From Ego: Live the Life God Designed For You

To live the life that Source/God designed for YOU, detaching from the ego is a must. The acronym for EGO is: Edging God Out. We do this without realizing it. The definition of ego is: The "I" or self of any person; a person as thinking, feeling, willing and distinguishing itself from the selves of others and from objects of its thought. The ego is all about self. For many, the ego is what defines a person for who they perceive themselves to be.

The ego

The ego is an accumulation of thoughts and ideas that say, "I am what I have acquired, accomplished and I am well respected." The ego will definitely lead you to believe that you are better than others.

I took time to ponder on the ego and when I realized what ego does to a person, the first thought I had was, "How shallow can a person be!"

The second thought I had was, "This is really sad because the majority of people on this earth think like this. Oh no, at times I think like this!"

It became evident to me that the acronym for EGO was true! When our mindset is focused on self-importance, what "I" did or what "I" have done, there is no room for God! We take up all the space!

I am going to paraphrase Dr. Wayne Dyer's take on ego while in the womb and after we are born. While we are in the womb, we aren't worried if God will know where to place our nose, or remember that we are to have two eyes, not one, etc. We just believe; we trust God and surrender completely. Then we are born.... Now we say to God, "Thank you, but I can handle it from here. I'll take over now." It's a clever way to demonstrate how quickly ego is introduced.

The more I studied about ego and it effects on us, intervention was required. An implementation that would shift thought, taking the focus off of "me" and placing focus back on Source/God. This process aligns us with God.

How to make the shift

"Change your thoughts, change your life." -Dr. Wayne Dyer

We trusted God to take care of us while we were in our Mother's womb, so let's trust on that level again. "With God, all things are possible." Matthew 19:26

As we grow with an unwavering faith keeping our eyes on God, the ego will gradually vanish. An example of unwavering faith: It's like a balance beam, if you look down, you will fall. Keep your eyes looking straight ahead at all times.

When you have this type of unwavering faith, you can expect things to come to you easily, because they will. You are aligned with Source/God, and this elevates your faith to a level where God reveals to you the perfect pattern for your life. You are living the life that God has designed for you!

There are three compartments of the mind. One is the conscious mind. Think of the conscious mind as the mortal mind. The mortal mind sees the world as it appears to be. It sees the 'positives' such as all things that bring goodness as well as the 'negatives' such as sickness, sadness, and poverty.

Then there is the subconscious mind. It functions from thought without direction. This is where it all starts with Law of Attraction- "You get the essence of what you think about".

Then there is the super conscious mind which is the highest level. This is where God reveals to you the perfect pattern for your life and this is the level where Abundance and Happiness is ours by Divine Birthright. We become one with God/ or the Divine at this level and we can have, do and be all. This is where our light shines the brightest!

Understanding the three levels of the mind is what really accelerated my personal journey. This understanding took me to the next level I desired. Staying in the super conscious state of mind is attainable and once you are there; you want to stay there. It's like nothing most of us have ever experienced before. I LOVE IT!!! You will too!

Living the life God designed for you

With ego out of the way, you have cleared the way to connect with the super-conscious mind. You see everything in a new light. It's like walking heart in heart with God.

You have changed your thoughts, your mental vision and now your life has changed. Your life is amazing! You no longer dream about the life you always wanted because you are living the life of your dreams!

With an unwavering faith, surrendering and allowing, the false self (ego) has vanished and the authentic self has emerged as the Divine grows within you.

You have truly surrendered and live this truth/belief: Let go, Let God. Aren't you glad you did? You are living the life that God designed for you and you experience multitude of blessings and abundance everyday. You are also tuned in to see miracles and wonders that are around you always! Every day you are in "awe" of this amazing life that has been waiting for you.

May you be willing to release anything that is holding you back so you can live the life that God has designed for you.

"When life is simple, pretenses fall away; our essential natures shine through. By not wanting, there is calm and the world will straighten itself out. When there is silence one finds the anchor of the Universe within oneself." This is from Wayne Dyer's book: "Change Your Thoughts, Change Your Life." This is a quote from the 37th verse of Tao Te Ching (The Great Way), by Lao-tzu.

Tapping Into Psychic Consciousness

With life's pressures and demands increasing, every day there comes the need to develop psychic consciousness and abilities. Our mind often holds on to a range of weights of daily living that makes it difficult to focus on other things and our immediate problems thereby making them full of unnecessary thoughts.

An individual has the capacity to tap into the psychic consciousness and sub consciousness that enable them communicate with the universe. This enables one to see sense and hear messages from the spirit world. Various people have a variety of psychic experiences. They have related them to good luck or coincidence. Others have made mediation a habit, are able to slow down the conscious mind frequently and comment on their feelings. This enables them to see visions of people and places.

A number of psychics have maintained the psychic consciousness from their childhood and into adulthood while others start developing the same when they are grow up. A psychic will divert their consciousness and concentrate the subconscious allowing them to concentrate on the universal consciousness. With this power, information from past life and the future is availed to those who desire admittance to it. Many people with the psychic consciousness often seen as people who have the gift of seeing into the future and regarded with admiration while others view them suspiciously and with caution.

Nevertheless, ones psychic consciousness largely depends on their beliefs and there are those who believe that the abilities are nonexistent. They then chose to ignore this form of intuition and gut reactions. However, for others, they believe that the abilities in deed exist and are willing to accept and use them. Psychic consciousness varies from one person to the other and the more we accept these abilities, the more they become useful in our lives.

However, for those that chose to act on their impressions or visions, there is a wealth of psychic knowledge they can tap into and utilize it to get stronger, better, and more ready for use in psychic service. Many times, we have gone into a state of staring into space which people often call day dreaming. At these times, there are no present thoughts in our conscious mind and we may wake up while still unaware of the surroundings and have our mind flipping all over trying to recall the thoughts of the subconscious. At this instance, we are able to pick up a wide range of messages from our thoughts.

There are times that you may be just sitting quietly and the phone rings and before you answer you already know who is calling, this is psychic consciousness in its simplest form. These usual daily occurrences make one practice and concentrate on the subconscious in order to tap into the collective consciousness.

Live, Love, Life - Making the World a Better Place

Live

To live without regret. To meet life with enthusiasm. To be considerate and to give the best you've got. To care about the planet, your family and yourself. To achieve those things you set yourself to reach, and to ensure it's not your second best.

Love

To love with all your heart. To hold back nothing. To learn to override emotion and judgement. To keep your heart open in hell. To rise up after a fall and forgive and forget. To move forward, innocent, open and enthusiastic about the opportunities life brings. To devote yourself without reservation to the significant other in your life

Life

To be as nature intended.

To contribute.

To leave an impression greater than you.

To live authentically and inspire others by your example.

To laugh a lot.

To smile in spite of everything.

To cheer others just by your friendship.

To rub shoulders with like minded people.

To leave a positive impression and the world in a better state than you found it.

For most of us, the idea of sitting around waiting until we get old in order to say we've lived a full life is unacceptable. Real people want a real life, and a real life means no regrets. What are we waiting for and why are we doing what we do? It's a great question. Making more money to make more debts to make more money. It doesn't cost much to live your dreams...

It's long been an established fact that whatever you think about you bring about. The complexity is to really know what it is you want. There's sub-conscious thinking and there's conscious thinking. One we are easily able to control, the other, can be completely opposite.How do you get the two lined up? What if one part of you wants to live in Timbuktu and the other part of you wants to live in New York. If you force the journey, then, without doubt you'll sabotage it. One mind fighting the other is the perfect cause for illness and personal problems.

I'm going to list down some generic ways to help you get in touch with this "other mind" but the list is not 100% complete. There are more.

1. Do nothing

Busy ness is the perfect blocker for inner awareness. In fact, doctors recommend that when a person is emotionally unstable, the best thing for them is to get busy, and it's for just this purpose. To block the sub conscious feelings, thoughts and emotions from interfering with the surface of life. So, the opposite works too. When you do nothing for a while, you get restless and in that awareness you'll notice the power of your outer mind over your inner mind. Being still is a great way to get to know yourself. (Subconscious mind)

2. Play a sport

Discipline of the physical body reveals the argument between the conscious and the subconscious mind. The physical body represents the shallowest mindset, and can, at the slightest discomfort start dominating the whole self, demanding surrender. The subconscious mind on the other hand might drive you till you drop. Seeing the interplay between these two is powerfully obvious during exercise. (trekking in Nepal for example)

3. Do meditation

Although 90% of meditation is really religion in disguise, properly taught meditation in the form of virpasna and Zen can really bring the separation between the conscious mind and the sub conscious mind into focus. One must witness this before inflicting any sort of control.

4. Focus

Left to their own resources, the lower, middle and upper minds seek different objectives. The sub-conscious mind has its own agenda and the conscious mind has a completely different one. The body for example seeks only pleasure and avoids pain. The emotions follow. The mind can be highly affected by the ego and desire for material strength and these can be in conflict. The solution is to focus you total life on a purpose greater than yourself. This merges the three minds, and gets you lined up.

The secret to the fourth proposal is that all life must come from that single point of focus. Your relationship, your wealth, your health, your social contribution must all emanate from your purpose. If not, once again, competing forces will overwhelm your efforts and possibly sabotage them.

Putting your mind to whatever you do, is easy. The challenge is putting all your heart, mind and body toward all you do. When the three line up, you have a very powerful opportunity to create what you want.

With Spirit

Chris

After thirty years of exploration and trial and error, Chris Walker settled on the Universal Laws as a guide to life wisdom and well-being. See http://www.chriswalker.com.au After completing his MBA Walker packed his consulting bag and went to Nepal, India and Japan studying Yoga and Zen, and finally returned to his beloved Australia to share his new model of Business leadership, Life and Wellness. Based on the Universal Laws Walker transcribed his knowledge into the Laws of Nature, a better and more everyday way for conscious people to live in harmony. He is often known as the Spiritual Pitbull because of his Straight Talking Aussie approach to life, advice and leadership. Walker has written 8 books on the Laws of Nature including Evolveyabastard, an irreverent look at men in relationships and how they need to evolve to make it work. His earlier book, Innerwealth has remained a best selling book for business people looking for more conscious ways to manage. http://www.innerwealth.com.

Walker confronts myth. He challenges fixed paradigms. He digs for truth. He is unapologetically honest in helping organisations and individuals find harmony within themselves and with the world around them. His teachings around the human condition, success and happiness are astonishing in their simplicity and intuitive compassion. A remarkable insight and a resultant capacity to heal, guide and inspire people on their path. This is his legacy.

The Art of Conscious Choice

Freedom is something I desired for years and often comes up as a desire when we are working with our coaching clients. When we drill down to see what freedom looks or feels like in the vision our client is holding we hear things like the capacity to be at choice or the freedom to choose.

The Encarta Dictionary defines freedom as an "ability to act freely; a state in which somebody is able to act and live as he or she chooses, without being subject to any, or to any undue, restraints and restrictions."

As I was reflecting on the idea of choice it occurred to me that there are several elements to the process of choosing. It also occurred to me that choice often serves different purposes in our lives. When we make a decision or choose we set into motion universal forces which support us in fulfillment of our desires. Often it is the energy and quality of the choice that determines our success and end result.

Most of us live in a reactive orientation. Unless we have cleared away what we are habituated to, our conditioning, habits and beliefs will have a role in our choices.

Robert Fritz, in his book, The Path of Least Resistance mentions 8 types of choice that occur from this orientation.

I will briefly summarize them here and you may recognize the ones you have in your repertoire. All of these ways of choosing are ineffective in supporting our desired results so it is important to become aware of them with the intention to shift to a way of choosing that supports the end result we desire.

Here are the eight:

1. Choice by limitation; this is the choice that is limited by the constructs of what you believe to be possible or reasonable. This type of choice decision will separate you from your dreams and desires and leave you in a compromised state; one of mediocrity. It is related to the habit of settling. It is also related to the fear of not being good enough.

2. Choice by indirectness; this is the choice that is related to the how something will happen and is process oriented. This is the choice that if I do this I will have that. This type of choosing is not focused on the desired result rather on how I will think I can make that desired result happen. The need to control is often at work with this type of choosing. This is often the result of living in the place I call do do land and measuring our value by what we are doing.

3. Choice by elimination; this is the land of irreconcilable differences. How many times have you heard the expression stated or said it yourself, "I had no choice?" The truth is you had no choice that you could see at the time or allowed yourself to see at the time. We often live in and are affected deeply by the fields of illusion we have created for the context of our lives. When we are in these we cannot see a way out.

4. Choice by default; this is the choice not to choose. In this space whatever we attract seems to be attracted without our active participation. This is where the energy of ignoring lives.

5. Conditioned choice; This type of choosing comes from imposing preconditions on our choices. We say, "If this then I will ______." We dictate the circumstances under which we agree to this choice. This type of choosing is often related to the fear of not being good enough and the resultant need to control things in our lives.

6. Choice by reaction; these choices are made as a way to reduce tension and the fear of separation or the loss of love of others. The idea here is to reduce conflict and discomfort. We often refer to this as caving in or going with the needs of others. This is definitely a way to avoid what we fear will happen. The choice is always one towards comfort and away from discomfort.

7. Choice by consensus; this is again related to the fear of separation. In order to avoid conflict and dissention we float the question of the moment to a group of stakeholders and align our decisions with the "will of the majority." This is a way to play safe and small. Choice by consensus will never serve the fulfillment of your intentions or purpose.

8. Choice by adverse possession; what Fritz is referring to here is the choice to choose from the place of a metaphysical notion about the nature of the universe. The idea here is that whatever you now have you have chosen. This leads to the conclusion that there is something outside of you in control and choosing the circumstances of your life for you. This creates a very passive response, the response of the victim. The truth is that the experiences you are now having in your life have been created by past decisions and actions in part and when we become conscious of our choices and conditioning and shift that which no longer serves us we can choose from a place of power and create exactly what we desire in our lives.

Our Rockit Consciousness Shifting programs address the conditioning and fears that influence our choices and shifts the energy of these to a place of neutrality. We are then able to enable, or enhance the complimentary states of being that support choice. This program is for you if freedom is something you desire in your life! New classes are forming now. Please contact Karen for more information: Karen@karenvizer.com 760.329.9173)

Then there are ways of choosing. The ways we choose show where we see the power in a given situation. Can you see yourself in the above?

The idea is to consciously choose the results we wish to see manifested.

Have you made a choice to eat healthy foods? (Process oriented--this is about doing) or a choice to be healthy? (End result oriented--this is about being) Choosing a process limits the creative energy that is available to you for fulfillment of your desires.

Many of us choose to avoid something we do not want rather that to attract what we do want. When we choose something as an avoidance strategy we attract to us more of that which we want to avoid. The simple act of choosing to avoid the pain of what we do not want to experience creates enough conflict to attract more of the same. This occurs when we are in a high state of conflict. We want relief from the pressure we feel. This is where the fears of the unknown, living in a place of overwhelm and the habit of checking out live. Our choices here have us returning to the comfort of what is known.

So how do choose consciously?

There are several steps to this process, here are the basics:

1) Have a clear vision of what it is you desire/want to create/your end result

2) Formally choose this by saying, "I choose to have...." This is the process of intention and follows the visioning process. It is also the process of affirmation and it is the process of commitment and focus.

3) Know that this choice will now activate the organizing capacities of the universe or consciousness. This initiates the creative cycle.

4) Trust the process

5) Whenever deciding what actions to take to support fulfillment of your intention, ask yourself the following question:

How does the action I am taking support my vision and my desired result? If you cannot answer this question you might want to make a different choice!

Wealth Consciousness, Money and Beliefs

Money means different things to different people. For many, it signifies the opportunity to acquire and achieve things that would not be possible otherwise. However, as surprising as this may be, even with money many people are still unable to get hold of the things they always wanted to have. This is because they are missing an essential component for experiencing an abundant life... they are lacking a wealth consciousness mindset.

People who have this mindset spend more time focusing on all aspects of abundance, and this is how they end up getting all what they desire in life. This is correlated to the Law of Attraction and it applies to all areas of life, money included.

But let's remember that money is only one representation of wealth. When people have a certain level of wealth consciousness they are likely to bring about a certain amount of wealth which becomes tangible in the form of money. This is the case of most people who have enough money for the basics of life, but never seem to get enough for all the other things they want.

Thus, they must work on developing their wealth consciousness mindset; they ought to focus their attention on the bigger picture, not just on acquiring money. This encompasses all aspects of the kind of life they want to live; and how they want to manage, spend, save, share, and distribute their wealth; for true wealth is much more than money itself.

By birthright, we are all predisposed to living in wealth, just as we are to having other successes in life. But knowing that we deserve wealth is not enough - we also need to think of and plan for the kind of life we want to live as well as how we are to acquire it, for the Law of Attraction works for those that not only focus on the right things, but take action in regard to their dreams. This is a component of wealth consciousness too, for we must give something of value to the world in order to get compensated generously.

Sometimes this action may involve bettering ourselves, as in enrolling in a college degree program, getting a better job or starting a new business. Whatever needs to be done must be done. By knowing what we want, creating a concise plan to achieve those goals, taking action and leaving the rest to the universe we are building on our wealth consciousness. Then, we will start seeing our dreams take shape, and eventually this succession of steps will lead to true wealth.

The concept that our thoughts greatly influence our chances at success should be embraced as a reality that has positively impacted many lives. Such are the many cases of people who have spent most of their lives broke, but eventually ended up experiencing enormous wealth by just changing their thoughts and having acted on them accordingly.

Like them, no matter what is going on in your life at this present time, you must consciously decide and be determined not to focus on how badly things are going for you now. If you do, chances are you will continue to be in that position of dwelling on the negatives indefinitely.

Remember that your life experience is based on what your spiritual self believes you deserve and can actually attain, and for this you must control your thoughts. Just know that everything you ever wanted is already out there in some shape or form - out in the universe waiting to be manifested into your existence, only by thinking the right thoughts.

Money, opportunities, possessions are all right at your fingertips and you can grasp them when you reach within yourself for that extra ounce of belief... and when you believe, you ignite the creation of wealth consciousness, you change your views of the world and start acting towards the attainment of your dreams and goals.

The kind of thought processes and belief systems we display will indicate to the universe whether we are ready to access all the positive things that are meant for us, and see them manifested in our reality. By maintaining a positive outlook and believing you are deserving of everything good; by planning and executing your plans; and by having faith in it all, you will have acquired wealth consciousness and will start experiencing the money to acquire everything you ever wanted, as well as living an overall wealthy experience.

Learn how your beliefs about money affect your wealth and how to acquire a wealth consciousness in three simple steps, here; http://www.tools-for-abundance.com/wealth_consciousness.html.

Socially Conscious Investing And The Law Of Abundance

To know that one has a divine right to live in abundance means that one has a respect for nature's supply. Usually those who have become abundance conscious are also environmentally conscious. With respect to nature, many who have aligned themselves with universal laws strive to incorporate every aspect of their lives with abundance principles and concepts.

Consequently, as we become more conscious, we understand that money is a seed and in many ways we are responsible for where we plant our seeds. It is only wise to search for investment options that reinforce our beliefs and lifestyle.

Environmentally sound investments are more available this century than ever before. Such investments are known as Social Funds. Social Funds made its debut on Wall Street in the 1970's and has been soaring ever since. Years ago there was concern with these funds ability to be profitable. But with growing technological advancements and an ever increasing interest in the age of spiritual and environmental consciousness, socially conscious investing has proven to be not only profitable, but consciously probable.

From investing in solar panels to buying fuel efficient cars, living a green lifestyle has never been more attractive. Due to increasing popularity with becoming environmentally conscious, one is not labeled as a weird tree hugger with too much time on their hands. Instead, taking care of Mother Earth has been championed by influential celebrities, well respected politicians, and altruistic business leaders.

With the flow of wealth and consciousness beginning to take root and manifest in many, there has been a growing concern among conscious green and holistic individuals regarding the atrocities that may have been funded using their money. Individuals who once invested, through stocks and mutual funds, for example, in companies that have been responsible for damaging the earth (i.e. alcohol, tobacco) and abusing its people (cruel labor) are now conscious and aware of their prior investments. Those living a conscious, abundant, and green lifestyle are appalled that their dollars have contributed to situations that do not match their personal values.

According to The Social Investment Forum, an environmentally friendly organization made up of like minded investors, estimates that 10 percent of all investments are made with social values in mind. The forum also counts 151 socially responsible mutual funds with assets of more than $148 billion, up from $111 billion in 2001; an outstanding increase from its humble, yet highly influential beginnings.

Many who are environmentally and socially conscious gain the greatest return on their investments knowing that their money hasn't supported or had any type of horrid effect on nature, its people, and the community at large. These types of investors have seen the bigger picture and realize that the end results yield the highest return.

But still there are those individuals who don't quite yet feel comfortable trading their conventional stocks for socially conscious funds. One shouldn't beat themselves up. Start slowly. Begin to use the profits of conventional investing to further your socially conscious agenda. Use the funds to reinvest in your causes by:

1. Becoming a "Green" Angel Investor. By supporting start-up/ environmentally conscious organizations, in time nature and its people will begin to feel the positive trickle effects of these worthwhile efforts.

2. Independently invest in organizations that advocate social change. Become involved and rally around organizations which lobby and challenge congress to create "greener" laws.

3. Diversify your investment portfolio by having more Social Funds than Conventional Funds.

Spirituality and morally, if you take care of nature, nature will in turn take care of you. It is never too late to discover spiritual and universal laws that will guide you into creating the life that one desires. Trust in and align yourself with the Laws of Nature and you will soon see that living green will yield much green, spiritually and financially.
