Connecting The Dots

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-13T16:52:47-05:00

The Course talks about the real world as a state of knowing everything and being everywhere at once, non-stop unconditional love, cessation of separation and being one with everything, and a complete and instantaneous knowledge of how every little detail is essentially a part of and within all that exists. ...Recently I read a book “Consciousness Beyond Life – The Science of Near-Death Experience” by Dr Pim van Lommel, M.D. – a cardiologist in The Netherlands. This book establishes the fact that Near-Death Experience (NDE) is not a medical condition, but in fact a taste of mind beyond the body. ...I want to think that we are now in an era of ever increasing awareness to something in us that is greater than we “think” we are already. Even if we blow up the planet before we become aware enough to appreciate it, this other thing we are, will still be there waiting for us to return. Obviously if we blow up the whole planet before we get enlightened enough, we are all going to be in that other place earlier than we want to be. ...It beats me how to get in and stay there, but I really would like to think that this is the last life that I must make on earth to learn how to do this. ...ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fseekgoodvibr-20%2F8010%2Fe715d931-3926-44e7-931e-2457a9b6f185&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate">

Paying Attention - Receive Gifts

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-13T16:52:55-05:00

I walked over for a closer look. It was a squash plant that grown with it’s vines climbing a blue spruce tree. It was was growing out of someone’s compost bin. The squash vines had grown way up in the tree And the beauty of the squash plant was really appealing upon closer examination. From the flowers it put out To the squash itself. Since we create our own world, why not look for the best. Because if the world is a reflection of ourselves. Let’s look good and receive the gifts just waiting for us.

…..On Surviving Death

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-09T09:59:57-05:00

One guy named Laleet, told me that from where he comes from in India, that if you live a bad life, you end up being reincarnated as a mud fish, a weasel or a desert hare. ...Yet, we come into this world with predispositions… directly from the womb, we come screaming into this world (literally), we have immediate personalities, our lives seems to be a personal passion play of making the same mistakes over and over again from playground, to classroom, to bedroom, to boardroom. Can you think of a time in your life when you or someone else’s action may have caused you an embarrassment or it resulted in a damning decision about yourself that you suffered at that time AND has been played out time and time again in your life? ...Maybe you have spent your whole life trying to recover from this one isolated incident but it has really no objective meaning to anyone else, nor can they even remember it ever happening. ...I think that we think that only “pure souls” can enter into the world and that stained souls are barred from entry. ... Is it so hard to believe that if souls can be condemned to hell, that some of these same souls can’t be let back into life again? ...As a matter of fact, Jesus went out of his way to die on the cross to show you that you don’t have any sins and never did. ...ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fseekgoodvibr-20%2F8010%2F10fd726d-3222-44cb-be7b-d0b6bdfce829&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate">

Praying For Learning Without Pain

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-08T07:47:34-05:00

There are some that have just awakened to that voice within that offers a higher perspective of why they are here and it’s very unsettling. ... We know it when we see it because we have “been there, done that” and we also struggle right along with them, but for different reasons. ...We ourselves have experienced tremendous karmic lessons in this lifetime on our Way, and one of the most potent gifts we take away from those lessons is that we now know that we can, through divine grace, pray a prayer of unconditional love so powerfully that it serves as a healing tool that keeps energy moving and ascension unfolding. This prayer of healing for our clients, our students, our friends and families is that their eyes open to their potential, and that they can learn to love themselves enough to learn without pain. ...This is what my own little corner of the Universe looks like this morning and as always, I love you all! ...v=250&username=xa-4b54fbc831e0db32"> ...

Cruel To Be Kind

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-06T14:52:08-05:00

Suddenly, I realize what the vocals are saying….”you’ve got to be cruel to be kind.” I thought how strange it is how such a beautiful package this song is, but the message is a little tainted (actually really messed up!). ...If you are of a consistent age bracket to me, you will have certainly heard this song and tapped your foot to it, as well. ...I am not trying pick this song to death, but sometimes, you’ve got shake yourself up and realize what songs your singing, or listening to or the thoughtless things you hear everyday in the news that is really messed up.

Constipation Of The Mind

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-09-06T14:52:14-05:00

When we quiet ourselves before we sit down and focus on anything, we can quiet that Constipated Mind so that we can get things from the heart rather than from ‘intention’ or the Mind. ...It inspires us to move forward and the Universe literally opens up the way for whatever we’ve been inspired to do and it will unfold completely naturally. ...But if you sit back and clear the Mind, this is when your heart opens up and the Universe opens up and you are inspired. ...In that very popular movie that made Law of Attraction a household name, they said if you think positively that you will get a red car, then the Universe will give you a red car. ...When you are inspired for example, Universe, I want a reliable car that is environmentally friendly, easy to maintain, comfortable for the family and it gets me to and from work reliably. ...I’ve learned to get myself and my Constipated Mind out of the way so that the Universe can flow through me. ...v=250&username=xa-4b54fbc831e0db32"> ...ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fseekgoodvibr-20%2F8010%2Fd28c4673-3a88-48ca-b054-6ecb7b9788a3&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate">

Feeling Sideways

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-08-30T09:20:39-05:00

Then I was reading in The Course that when you are in the process of “the undoing,” that this is a phase of great unease. When I face these final disappointments, built upon a life time of learning to cope with fears and conflicts that just don’t work anymore, I am left with suffering. ... Nothing made sense because I had dislodged a bunch of stuff and it was still floating around in the newer machine that is replacing it. I am reading this book now called Take Me To Truth by Nouk Sanchez and Tomas Vieira. ... “A word of caution: Many if not most, spiritual seekers and teachers have not yet taken the first step. They have, perhaps, accumulated an astonishing amount of spiritual knowledge, however their egos are still intact…..taking the first step initiates the unlearning and undoing of the ego. ...In fact, although I have been studying this stuff for many years now, I can see where I am still wrapped in bullshit. ...ServiceVersion=20070822&MarketPlace=US&ID=V20070822%2FUS%2Fseekgoodvibr-20%2F8010%2F10fd726d-3222-44cb-be7b-d0b6bdfce829&Operation=GetDisplayTemplate">

I got my default favorite perch, window seat, high table and bar stool, that’s right, I live the good life. ... What we normally do is watch people and make snap judgements about them. In an instance, usually with little thought involved, we do a quick sort of stored information we have and voila’ we have judgement. It happens so fast and so often, this becomes our normal walking state. So I decided to stop that judgement state and go with the ‘Higher Self’ state of being. ... There is a state where the ego gear that judges is disengaged. When you use your ego to look at the world in the way it is intended, take charge of your thoughts, it becomes a useful instrument. As I munched on tacos and gazed out at the sidewalk on 5th Avenue, I saw people for who they are. ... From your Higher Self perspective there is love and appreciation for who they are. It’s quite remarkable and a step in seeing the world in the way you intended when you became a physical form.

Clinging To Life

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-19T10:38:07-05:00

It is hard to imagine how a consciousness like this tree, could have “figured out” how to direct its roots to the only place that could support its need for water, nutrients and physical support. ...By its very existence, the Universe needs this tree and is going to see to it that it remains in this world for now. And this decision has been made apparently for reasons that have nothing to do with me (what I can see, feel, hear, taste, or touch). In Aldous Huxley’s book “The Doors of Perception” he states that “Man’s highly developed color sense is a biological luxury – inestimably precious to him as an intellectual and spiritual being, but unnecessary to his survival as an animal.” For a guy like me that has had the universe defined for me in strict Newtonian and Cartesian rules, color would appear to have no place here. ...Huxley writes “All that the conscious ego can do is to formulate wishes, which are then carried out by forces which it controls very little and understands not at all” and “as man proposes, God disposes.” ...I guess you can define life in either way…..form (your body, the world you see) or experience (pain, peace, joy, war, happiness). ...Maybe you are imagining that you will look like an idiot if you make a mistake or maybe you are imagining that you will lose a big account because your trip over a few words. ... If you do not know what the thought is, then the thought is “that you just don’t know what the thought is” and start from there. ...Just this morning, I asked myself a series of questions as to why do I want my son to make his own mistakes, rather than me just fixing them for him.

We Are All Just Victims of Victims – Or Are We?

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-08T11:57:53-05:00

If your mother or father did not know how to love themselves unconditionally they couldn’t possibly have taught you how to love yourself. ... Once you get to the point where you consciously realize this, you will then understand that our parents did not do anything to us. ...All experiences that you have had up to this point in your life all started with the thoughts and words that you used a decade ago, last year, last month or even earlier today. ...I believe that one of the best ways to start breaking the cycle of victimhood is through practicing Ho’oponopono. ... Ho’oponopono also says that we are all 100% responsible for everything that happens to us and that no person, place or thing has any control over what or how we choose to think. In order to find that peace, harmony, love, gratitude and bliss in our lives we need to first have it in our thoughts. ...- “People are out to get me, Life just isn’t fair, How do you expect me to love myself, I’m just not good enough”. ...Or, when was the last time you went by a mirror, stopped, looked at yourself in the eyes and said, “I Love you, Thank you”. ...However, which statements do you think are more empowering and give you the ability to bring joy, peace, love and happiness to your life? ...And, the sooner you will start to claim back your god given power back and stop blaming your parents – because they were just victims of victims of victims, etc.

The Three Levels of Consciousness

While my husband and I were in Ireland in April of 2010, we were on a spiritual quest. ... I’ll save the details for a later date, but 3 days after that experience I had a vision during a meditation of the totem. I want to say that they are my animal spirit guides, but they tell me that they are all of our animal spirit guides. I told my daughter, the artist of the family, what I saw and she drew the picture for me. ...Well 3 days later, again while in meditation, all of a sudden I had to start writing. ...So ask your inner Wolf; are you a slave to your Wolf, or do you train your conscious self to serve your highest good? ...It’s amazing what the Universe will reveal to you when you ask and then open yourself up for the answers. ... Because this whole process started in Ireland with my personal experience, I decided to look up the word secret in Irish or Gaelic. ...Rúnda 3™ is a complete system for those in the healing arts to heal themselves and others, and to connect with their individual psychic gifts. When we learn how to use the 3 levels and how they communicate, we open ourselves up to healing ourselves and others and opening up our individual intuitive/psychic gifts.

The 12 Phases of Consciousness

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-08T15:18:23-05:00

One of the chapters in the book describes the 12 Phases of Consciousness which is a result of Price’s research after conducting interviews with people at different levels of consciousness. This chapter intrigued me because I saw the description of my own journey in the first four phases. It felt similar to looking at a map you see in the malls with the “You Are Here” marker. The book helped me calibrate myself on this “scale” to figure out where I was on my consciousness journey and provided a glimpse into what it is like to experience higher phases and what I can do to move to the next phase. ... For example here’s a quote for what is feels to be in phase 5. “In Phase Five, an individual's consciousness is directed toward the good at least fifty-one percent of the time, i.e. the positive thoughts and feelings outweigh the negative. Now the clouds seem to part and more sunshine than ever comes into your life. There is more harmony, money is more plentiful, those old aches and pains are not as frequent, and things seem to be "right" in your life.” The above quote inspired me to be more mindful of the thoughts I attract and to practice focusing on positive things and to establish a routine when I get up in the morning and go to bed at night. This way I get the day started on a positive note and end the day on a positive note as well.

Dark Energy, Dark Matter And The Larger Part Of Ourselves

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-02T11:50:39-05:00

There have been observations about the universe that can become more clearly understood only if these theoretical forces truly exist. One can experience the effects of the wind without seeing it, and this is much like the evidence for the existence of dark energy and dark matter. ...Dark matter is a way to explain gravitational effects on both light and matter, bending light and affecting the path of travel of matter. ... What we can see as observable matter only accounts for 3 to 4% of the energy-mass of the universe! ...The non-physical, larger part of ourselves is analogous to the dark energy and dark matter of the universe. The larger part (by far) of who we are is non-physical, but overwhelming evidence suggests that this larger part, (our inner-being, soul, god-force, higher-self, etc.) is more who we are than the flesh & bones we normally consider to be “us.” ...It would only make sense that what we sense mostly would be the effects of energy of which there is the most: dark energy and dark matter. ...Our emotions provide us with the overwhelming evidence that there is more to our existence than what we know as 'reality.' However, our emotions are more than just sensors, they are guides, lighting the way to joy, step by step. Pay attention to your emotions, and the bigger part of yourself and you will be in alignment with the most powerful forces in the Universe.

Living From The Inside Out

I stopped when I noticed a stretch of the path where the surface of the asphalt was getting punctured by plants growing from underneath. ... This seemed to be a stretch of the path where the asphalt was new or maybe the plants very hearty, but apparently chosen carefully. All my life, I have been amazed at the miracle of a “frail” plant punching through 3 or 4 inches of stubborn asphalt just to find the sky. ...A lot of times, we think that we do things because it is the thing to do, for financial gain, to impress someone, or maybe do the American way. ...Like a gazelle out on the savanah that can process thousands of blades of moving grass and can detect immediately that a specific type of movement is indeed a lion in tall grass and not just the wind blowing. The problem with feeling for us is that our emotions are the product of a long evolutionary progression that has not yet caught up with our situation yet. ...Your emotions are treating the situation of a cold call as a synthetic stimulus that mimics a true and present danger that was true at one point in history, but is now, long gone. ...It is both in thinking and feeling that we have a direct active and conscious part to play in our own individual evolution. I say evolution because your life on earth is just a segment of the life that just is and does not die, as we say here. ... When you encounter beliefs that are not in accordance with who you are, you will feel something vaguely dull and incorrect (just like Neo).

How Ho’oponopono Made Me a Better Listener

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-06-28T08:41:55-05:00

I have to admit I’m not good at hearing people vent without providing solutions. So usually our conversations end up with me giving her suggestions and my wife getting pissed for not just listening. A few months ago I had read the book “Zero Limits” which described the Ho’oponono technique. ...I thought these statements while my wife was describing her day at work. The next day, while we were walking our dog she mentioned that I did an amazing job listening to her ven and that she noticed the change. I shared with her that I was clearing myself using Ho’oponono while she was talking. The following week she told me that the kids who were usually non-responsive really got involved in the group therapy session and that the session was one of the best she’d experienced at this place in while. She mentioned that she said the four statements before starting the session. I often use Ho’oponono when I am aware of the tense feelings and I’ve seen it work a large percentage of the time. The trick is to remember to say the four statements when unwanted emotions arise.

If My Ego is a Bad Thing, Does That Make My Digital Camera Bad if I Don't Know How to Use It.

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-06-29T16:19:35-05:00

From my take of listening to 7 of the 16 tracks so far, it seems the ego is a bad thing. ...Say I have this really nice digital SLR camera (I do) and since I don't know how to use it (I finally did), does this make the camera a bad thing? ... Thing was, I was coming from a nice film SLR and realized I really didn't know how to use my new camera as effectively. I'd forget to set the white balance (OK, I forgot I had to) or any number of things to get superior results. ... I now know how to use about 50% of it's capability, but that's enough to let me get great shots. In the latest Abraham-Hicks audio set in Los Angeles, Abraham talks briefly of the ego as our way to focus in our physical environment. ...So our ego is just our way to interpret all the things we encounter with all our senses. ...But most of the time we let the ego go on it's merry way, as we lazily interpret what it sees. ... Paying attention to your ego can mean you don't always have to judge what it is bringing you. ...If you can limit judgment on a number of topics, it allows you to better focus on what you really want in life.

Welcome to the World You Created...Your Beliefs Effect Your World

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-01T08:37:53-05:00

This is the second part is about our belief system and how it is formulated. ...But unlike assholes, according to Pam Ragland of radicalthoughtshift.com each person has over five million opinions set by age 5. This represents 90% of your total thoughts or opinions you will have in a lifetime. ... I mean at that age I liked oreo cookies and hated vegetables (I’m guessing a lot of you out there still like oreo cookies and secretly hate vegetables). ...Your ego, which was never supposed to be more than your interpreter of the physical world, developed a sense where it takes what is seen, heard or smelled and compares it with a belief you have. ... Since your ego has a built in, don’t die program, it will protect this belief at all costs. ...When you have a thought or opinion of a situation, it can bring a positive or negative feeling. If its positive, you feel good, your Higher Self is usually going there with you. ... But if you have a thought or opinion and you don’t feel so good about it, your Higher Self isn’t walking that path with you. ...We let a lot of what we think go by as a ransom thought, automatically having a feeling attached to it and moving on to the next thought.

'Envision, create and believe in your own universe, and the universe will form around you.' This is a quote from Zappos.com founder Tony Hsieh in his new book 'Delivering Happiness'. ...Look at that quote, digest it for a moment It's as simple as that, yet elusive. 'Envision, create and believe in your own universe, and the universe will form around you.' Lately I’ve been working to erase programming that I feel does not serve me anymore. Since I do create my own universe, I decided to seriously look at what I’m creating. ...But the real key here is...what world do I really want? If you could have any world you wanted for yourself, what would it be? What is your over-riding deliberate creation of the world you want? In the next few articles, I will be looking at creating the world I want.

The Art of Being

What inspired me to write this today was an article that caught my attention in the Chicago Sun Times as I was waiting for my buddy Rob at a distinguished drinking establishment. ...‘Says Mark, "I'm the type of man who believes that sex should be the ultimate expression of love between a man and a woman, and as such, should be one of the later steps in a relationship, not the first. ... I've never had a problem catching a girl's eye, but women don't want to take the time to get to know me. With most women I've ever met or known, if things don't progress toward sex in a rapid fashion, they quickly lose interest and move on.” ...Even though beliefs are just thoughts we keep thinking, we can see there is usually a system of thoughts that support the belief. There’s a point where one needs to look at the results they’re attracting in their lives and say to themselves ‘how’s that working out for me’? ...If it’s 95° outside, do you wear your down coat because you’ve always worn that coat and dammit I’m not going to change now for some silly reason such as heat. ...As you put your intentions going forward in life and don’t see the results you’re looking for, you may want to ask yourself, who am I being? ...What was true in the past for you doesn’t have to be true for you now and going forward. ... Just this break in your thinking, can over time with practice, get your mind into a pattern of creating who you really want to be.

Welcome to the World You Created - The Pause that Refreshes

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-07-12T11:37:43-05:00

Quoting from the movies website: Closer than Close is spiritual cinema at its finest -- a documentary that investigates the spiritual search; the search for the essential questions of human life: is there an eternal part of ourselves? ... Rather than philosophical discussion, it explores the possibility of living a life devoted to a search for answers, and the radical possibility that answers exist, closer than we can imagine, within our selves. ...So what I found was your mind can get instant relief from deciding to reduce the ego’s need to always bringing up issues. ...In my case, this meant sitting down and letting the ego know that I was going to help it be more effective in our everyday life. ... This is the set point to make the words ‘I give up, I surrender, I let you go’ have real meaning when they are spoken. ...If there is an issue that you keep responding to and keep getting the sanme results, it might be good to take some quiet time, maybe during meditation and seeing where this issue comes from. ...The Power Point Punch: This is when you’ve done the Power Point and want to take advantage of the pause and turn it around. This is where you pivot from the thought that isn’t wanted and turn it around into what you do want. ...If you’ve done your other work, the work of feeling good (the most important work), you will turn this moment around due to the fact you remember what good feels like. ...

Conscious Choices - Good Morning!

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-12-26T15:16:05-06:00

The idea of The Morning Process was to have a way I could use to change my old habit and start a new one. So instead of just getting up and hitting the coffee pot, I divided up my morning to best set my mind for the day ahead. ...As I was in the process of setting up my morning, I found an even earlier starting point to my morning. ... Your mind is also in a state of hypnogogia when you first wake up. I used this state to repeat my Superbeings Truths and then I add my ‘Awareness of My Higher Self Meditation’. ...So if my thoughts wander before I get up with the ‘to do list’ in my mind, I demand to feel good and then repeat my ‘Superbeings Truths’ and ‘Awareness of My Higher Self Meditation’. ...This will trigger the mind that meditation is starting and when you blow the candle out, it’s the end. ...As I feel the light go through me from top to bottom, I relax that part of my body. ...Sometimes if my mind is clear, I stop counting and just breathe in and out and pay attention to my senses, such as hearing the clock tick or outside noises. ...If you can rise 15 to 25 minutes earlier in the morning, you’ll find that your morning routine will reward you all day.

Goin' For a Ride

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-11-17T10:51:41-06:00

I was thinking this morning about the planet we call earth. ...However it is the remaining 1%, a mixture of carbon dioxide, water vapour and ozone, that not only produces important weather features such as cloud and rain, but also has considerable influence on the overall climate of the Earth. Every year as it orbits around this fiery ball of hydrogen and helium we call the sun, the earth actually wobbles. As your Higher Self consciousness, you actually made a decision to come down to this planet and experience it. ... You knew all of above about the earth and what it poses in it’s grand potential. ...You decided from the lofty knowledge of your Higher Self to go for a ride. And why go for a ride on this mess of a planet? ... What a great place to use the power of who you are to move forward and add to the greater part of you. ...You wanted it this way...because, you know you are in charge of how you look at everything. ...There is no past, there is no future, just the moment you are in RIGHT NOW.

Conscious Choices: Part 2, The Rules of You

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-11-03T12:45:10-06:00

I discussed that you need to be aware of the story you tell if you want to change what comes into your life. ...In Law of Attraction when it's said that you are moving your energy faster, but your not keeping up, this is what they are talking about. ...Ann looks at the relationship she has with her mother and decides she would like to improve it. ...One afternoon Ann and her mother have lunch at the Russian Tea Room (well it is Ann’s story and this is where they go). ...Ann had decided she wants a good relationship with her mom, but doesn’t understand why her mother always has to criticize. ...After a run one day soon after, Ann is taking off her blue running jacket and all of a sudden remembers an incident when she was a little girl, she had wanted this blue top to wear to school. ... Ann’s mother had been in the fashion industry before she had kids and always liked to express herself when possible now that she wasn’t in that business anymore. ...Ann went farther and told herself she was a confident person and was able to see past someone else’s foibles and maybe even forge a stronger bond with the understanding she now had. The thing is, once you tell a new story, it will be time to deal with the inner software programming you’re running. ... But if you have a new story, there may be underlying thought patterns that needs to be looked at under the light that you currently make your decisions.

Conscious Choices: Part 1, That's My Story and I'm Sticking to It...or not

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-10-27T12:11:01-05:00

I remember in a psychology class I took years ago in college (go Hawks ) it was found that most people won’t read an editorial piece that doesn’t already support their position. When we have the story of ourselves, we usually look for things that support our story with the belief and judgement that comes with it. ...Ann’s story of her mother is that she is bossy and always thinks that she knows how Ann should live her life. Ann’s story continues that her mother would really rather spend more time with Ann’s sister and not with Ann, which is ok with Ann. ...Jane’s story continues that she adores her mother’s life and strength in making decisions. ...So Ann and Jane, to support their stories, will make judgements sometimes based on the story they tell themselves of their mothers. ...So two people with the same mother have different stories about their mother and make different choices based on their stories. ...But what is unusual is the fact we really don’t pay attention to the story we tell ourselves on any given subject. Once we start becoming aware of our emotions we are emitting at any given time, it’s not just good to pivot to what we want in that instance, but maybe become aware of the story we are telling if the emotion seems to be a repeat offender. ...Even if it’s something that doesn’t match at all, ask your Higher Self where the good is?

Skating the Thin Edge or is my Mind Just Wandering

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2010-01-17T13:41:23-06:00

There was an ice storm going on and it made me think how we can be on the edge of feeling good or bad about any given situation. ...Thinking of ice and skating my mind wandered off to a Jethro Tull song, ‘Skating Away’. So I pulled out the record, yeah an LP for those that remember the old lingo. ...Skating away on the thin ice of the new day. ...And as you cross the wilderness, spinning in your emptiness: ...Skating away on the thin ice of the new day. And as you cross the circle line, the ice-wall creaks behind --- ...And the silver splinters fly in the corner of your eye --- ...Or that everybodys on the stage, and it seems like ...Skating away on the thin ice of the new day.

Vibration and the Higher Self Conciousness

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-07-24T15:21:51-05:00

I started out with a 'bong' from the mallet and then playing it around the rim. ... Then eventually moving to a higher harmonic vibration as you play the rim. I noticed that the bowl, as it moves to the higher harmonic vibration, doesn't play the lower harmonic vibration. ...But allowing your Higher Self, a higher vibration, usually in the appreciation to joy level on the emotional scale chart, cancels out the lower vibrations you may be feeling. One way that I've found to facilitate this moving up the vibrational scale is to get to know my Higher Self. ...You can't see your Higher Self as in 'yo Higher Self can you get me another beer'. ...As you get to know your Higher Self, you'll find when you are feeling a lower vibration, you learn remember to ask how your Higher Self would react and then to feel it. With practice your Higher Self vibration will cancel out the lower vibration you may be feeling. As you learn to feel your Higher Self, it then becomes easier to let go of control and trust that this Higher Self you are starting to work with will make it happen for you. Then it becomes 'yo Higher self I'm feeling that new career move I want, let's do it'.

How Hard is it to Become a Superbeing

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-08-11T15:20:20-05:00

It was a site that branded itself as: Comprehensive Web-Site Promoting Spiritual Consciousness. ... It covered so many different topics and was a wealth of knowledge to the would be seeker. ...So yesterday I went to the archived Spiritweb.org site and read an article from Omni channeled by John Payne. ...Choosing to live as the Master does not mean that you have to be perfect from day one. ... That you are willing to keep your heart open in situations that you may normally close it, and withdraw into emotional pain, anger or resentment. ... Life was meant to be joyful, and joy is a divine quality, a soul quality, so you can choose to bring that quality of joy into everything you do. ... Are you ready to be playful, laugh at yourself and to have a giggle at life and its playful challenges? I like it because it shows that being a Superbeing is in the intent. Once you have the intention intoned from the above paragraph, you can only grow in that direction. ... But being a Superbeing is allowing your Higher Self through, at least enough in the beginning, to not take things so hard.

Feeling It Real

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-08-19T15:16:53-05:00

I was quaffing a few black and tans with my disk golf buddies, Alon and Rob, last Friday after 18 (is it holes or baskets?). ...We got talking about how so many people get the law of attraction information on an intellectual level. ...You start take note what emotion you're feeling and know intellectually that you can change it. ...Another way is to start thinking how your Higher Self would feel about a mundane task, like washing the dishes or mowing the grass. ...Once you can feel your Higher Self as yourself, you can start letting tasks go to this larger part of you. Knowing that your Higher Self has your back so to speak, you can bask in the glow that is you. ... After a hand is dealt you discard and then a card is turned up out of the deck. I would put out what card I wanted to turn up that I thought would help me. ... I when I do lose it's by less than 10 points out of 121 to win. ...Starting small and feeling your Higher Self work through you, gives you the confidence that there actually is a Higher Self.

Contrast, the Fuel of Creators

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-09-21T13:59:21-05:00

If you pour gasoline on a car and ignite it, well not such a good idea, unless that was intended. But if you pour gasoline in the car's gas tank and it is ignited by the engine, well you get the idea here. ...You could pivot and put out to the universe that you would prefer free flowing traffic in the future. You could add to that moment to look for what the good is in that moment for you. ...In the moment choose to be the joyous (pick one) being that you are and bask. Being in the moment is what you do until the fuel of contrast comes to energize you. ...I was mowing my grass in late spring and saw a thistle plant growing in the rocks around our compost bin. ...As my friend Rob says, a weed is just a plant you don't want in your yard. Being a totally dedicated in truth writer, I looked it up in the Apple dictionary on the computer, he's correct. ...As I was finishing up and taking the camera off the tripod, I glanced around for the first time in an hour and saw a couple of rabbits and squirrels in very close proximity to me.

What's Good Out There?

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-09-28T13:56:56-05:00

Not only does our current belief system present itself for us to look at, but a current situation or someone else's belief system can draw our attention. Being a conscious creator in the present moment is for you to guide yourself through each situation or moment that comes up. ...Now once the situation is judged we then pivot and offer to our Higher Self what we would prefer for ourselves. Then we let it go and have full knowledge our Higher Self will be taking care of things for us, so then we go back and bask in who we are. ...A great way to break this mode of thinking is to start looking for the good immediately when an unwanted situation takes place. ... If you allow it, some new thoughts will start to come to you that pulls you away from the picture/judgement your ego just took. ...I felt the annoyance come up (yeah I was actually paying attention, meditation does pay off) and I did pivot to free flow driving in my mind and looked for the good in that moment. An idea then came to me about a part of a book I'm writing that I was getting stuck on. ...In photography I like to find a situation that doesn't look so good and find the beauty of it. ...But the contrast with the red berry bush in full growth mode vs the red barn being swallowed back to the earth is readily apparent.

You are sooo....Becoming

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-10-05T13:50:05-05:00

But if you can picture yourself as in a perpetual state of creation, it may be easier to see how life works for you. ...Let's use this leaf blossom below to represent a new idea that has blossomed (pun intended) for you to pursue. So, as you pursue this idea you now have become a part of this idea. ... Now this idea, because of what you added to yourself in knowledge, contrast, appreciation and general joy of living evolves and becomes this: ...So you're rolling with 'who you are' and feeling accomplished, then there will be new experiences that have a slight effect. ...What was once you now has been cast aside and so you have collected this part of you and cast it in the recycle bin (or compost bin in this example), so to speak. Now you have a new idea of who you want to be. You utilize what you've learned like taking the compost from the compost bin and use it as fertilizer for the garden of your mind. ...The idea for today seems pretty simple, but when everyday life is coming at you, it's good to remember to look at the big picture of your life. ... If you don't like it, plant a new seed with your Higher Self and watch it grow as you bask and receive inspiration.

Awareness of my Higher Self Meditation

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-10-13T13:36:00-05:00

I was reading in John Randolph Price's book 'A Spiritual Philosophy for the New World'. There was a daily meditation he had that one can use as they go about their day. I liked it a lot and I thought I'd share it here. If this is something you like, you can find Mr. Price's book here. By the way, I did adjust one meditation that I felt would be more advantageous to those who read my blog. But the inspiration is all Mr. Price's.

Hey, What are You Looking At!

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-10-21T16:16:00-05:00

At our Law of Attraction Meet Up a couple of weeks ago, Frank brought up a topic of how there was a study that showed there was a high instance of cars hitting telephone poles when they veer off the road. ...Usually the setting takes place at a track or a track set up with lots of good corners to test each of the different car's limits. ... One time as I was pressing a BMW 5 Series through it's paces the professional driver told me to just look where I wanted to go and the steering would follow. ...As in a car you fly through time (if your lucky in Chicagoland to have that kind of flow through traffic). ...But I think they found that a lot of people were lax about what their intentions really were. ... I think A-H felt that we are so distracted with the sidelights of life that this is best where we can hear the message. Yet driving ourselves through life with deliberate intention and not letting the sidelights of life distract us is really where life can have the most meaning. ... Where some people may think of the difficulty John goes through to get the photograph, he just does it. Just as in a car, we like to get off the road and check out some highlights that our journey can provide. ... But the the best part is to remember to keep your eyes on where you're going and what you really want and not to let the distractions of life knock you off the road.

Reflections of a Larger Part of You

Dan@seekinggoodvibrations.com — 2009-10-22T16:16:10-05:00

I was meditating this morning and a thought came to me associated with a picture I took this last weekend when I was in Door County, Wisconsin. Most of us know we have a larger part of ourselves that is available to us. I thought this pic showed a nice reflection of the bigger part that we are. Do you see it? The leaves in the foreground is our current self representing the different aspects of our lives. Reflected in the background is the tree(s) where the leaves dropped from. The tree has many leaf incarnations. The rest I'll leave up to your imagination. Picture Info: The reflection is from the hood of my car. ... Nikon D300, 35mm lens, aperture f11, shutter speed 1/25.
