Desiderata (Desired Things)

2010-07-17T08:33:00.000-07:00

Go placidly amid the noise and haste,and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrenderbe on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly;and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story.

Avoid loud and aggressive persons,they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.

Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism.

Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself.

You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be,and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

The law of attraction creates a cocoon, so to speak, of like energy around each personality so that as it seeks to heal its anger, or its fear, or its jealousy, the metamorphosis process into wholeness is intensified and accelerated, is brought to the center of the stage of awareness. The personality sees its anger or its fear not only within itself, but everywhere outside itself as well. If the personality chooses consciously to heal its anger, or its fear, every circumstance, every encounter becomes irritating or fearful as the Universe compassionately responds to its desire to become whole.

As the anger, of the fear within a personality builds, the world in which it lives increasingly reflects the anger, of the fear, that it must heal, so that eventually, ultimately, the personality will see that its creating its own experiences and perceptions, that its righteous anger or justifiable fear originates within itself, and therefore can be replaced by other perceptions and experiences only through the force of its own being.

Just as frequency of anger evokes a like frequency in the consciousness of those around an angry personality, the frequency of love awakens also like responses. It is the intention that determines the effect.

We are destined to evolve beyond the nature of duality, Duality is that which is understood in time and space. As you evolve beyond that, and also when you leave your physical body and journey home to your nonphysical plane of reality, you will not exist in dualism, and that sense of the wrathful, or sorrowful, or fearful self that you think of as present to you now will evaporate. It has no power in the realm beyond duality where there exists the perfection of all that is. When you leave your physical form, you will join the nonphysical level of reality that is appropriate to your vibrational frequency at the time that you leave your incarnation.

West Covina RESOLUTION BOOT CAMP Class 3

2010-02-04T14:39:00.000-08:00

Many things were against us meeting this past weekend... I'm thankful for those who came. I know it was tough. Our session was smaller than usual which allowed me to give a greater degree of attention to each person's needs and preferences. We worked on movements for increasing mobility and range of motion in the shoulders and knees, and exercises for strengthening the ankles.

We got through our drills added some plyometric training, some jiu-jitsu warm ups , worked with kali- sticks and put on the gloves... got to the meditation and the beautiful misty morning cleared up in to bright blue skys. It was awesome!!!

On the 2nd Day of RESOLUTION BOOT CAMP, we all got into the flow - quality of movement and mindset greatly increased!! All participants from the first class visibly increased in stamina, agility, flexibility and strength. I welcome the new people that came in as they made it all the more fun. I see this group making fast and significant progress... Saturday mornings at 7 already shows character of commitment to making change.

This first month is dedicated to the element of Air - associated with mental activity, organization, commitment, assessment, rules and beliefs. Having clarity before making decisions and goals.

All the participants in West Covina did very well on the first day of boot camp. What I enjoyed seeing was a group of people willing to better themselves and take care of their bodies.

No matter where you come from, what you do, or what you believe in, everyone comes to boot camp with a common mindset to be proactive about health, fitness and to have fun!!

Some things are just meant to be lived...

2009-01-28T11:29:00.001-08:00

Blessing to see my man Davey D from the Bay Area. His openness, honesty, and love for Bob Marley pretty much sums it up. Lookin' forward to future projects with the bredren.

I had an amazing experience this morning. Dani and I took Ayin to look at schools. We had a tour at "New City School" in Long Beach and we walked in during the morning session of singing and music that begins each day. There were about 150 kids seated indian style on the floor singing along with the music teacher strumming the acoustic guitar, teaching songs in a game fashion. I couldn't help but to embrace the energy. I immediately envisioned my friends Finbar playing the guitar and Amber singing to the children at the "Still Revival Center". Experiences like that spark fire in me to create a space to recreate and share those experiences that are hard to convey with words. Some things are just meant to be lived.

Humor Lifts You Up To God

I didn't know I can still laugh as hard as I did yesterday! I went to workout at Ross' house because a client rescheduled. Perfect... Bonus time to get my workout in.

I enjoy having the awareness of watching how things may unfold perfectly on their own. Ross, Limey Bean, JG, Paul The Man, Marco and I linked up today without the conscious intention to do so.

I always learn a lot from Ross' training. Just like 10 years ago, its just then I didn't know it would help my career. Now I can do what I enjoy without feeling its a waste of time. The things we do are extremely physical, but he reminds me how mental it all is. MINDSET

We were rolling around and working on "passing the guard." We were drilling on diggin' the elbow in the opponent's thigh to get passed the guard. It doesn't break anything, its just a pain tolerance thing. Well I was just diggin' my elbow in Linus's thigh but not trying to pass the guard... I was crying from laughter watching Linus going through constant pain! It doesn't sound as funny as it was being there, but hey... I'm laughing again.

Haven't seen Paul The Man for a while. Good energy. I know we'll be linking up soon. Its always cool to see Marco because he's a young buck thats got a good head on his shoulders. INSPIRING

Couldn't tell you enough about JG. I'll save that for next time. Okay I'll tell you a little. This guy... just when I thought he took his body too far with injury, his body will find a way to still play ball! UNSTOPPABLE

Chillin' with Bluesy at 7 in the morning. He phoned me early. He knows he can count on me to be up ready to go. Like I LION! I love the rising sun. Morning Ites before putting in work. Connecting to earth in the morning has a lasting positive affect on my whole day.

Talked to Westafa on iChat yesterday. Big up Hawaii... Felt like he was right here. bLaKList performed a mini concert for him. Amber and Finbar... Much Talent! Natural People... Good Vibes.

Yesterday was such an awesome day for me. My business partner came to my town and it was just amazing to see him do his thing! The man conquers the corporate world and still has both feet on the ground.

It was a giant leap for me personally last year because I took the step of integrating my authentic self with the business aspect of myself. A little scary to do because my ideas tend to be out there. It’s a great feeling to have support from peers who are confident, honest, straightforward, have faith, determination, perserverance, belief and is well aware of what a bond is all about. Not the bonds that go with stocks, but the ones that form when people come together and work hard against the grain to co-create a unified vision! I found passion again this year… but not outside of myself. It came from inside and extends outward. To see value in everything that exists… and that doesn’t exist…

A Soul Cluster is coming into alignment and the unveiling of its players are fun to partake in . Enjoy the ride!

Dreaded Mondays

2009-01-19T09:27:00.000-08:00

Monday Morning… I feel pretty good. Its easier to enjoy now. I dreaded Mondays so much before. I remember saying “ Thank God its Friday!” Then the weekend being so good to me, until Sunday evening starts to set in and for some reason I have a bad attitude. Must be because I have this reality of work the next day. Then I know its true when I get to work and all I want to do is leave, leave, leave! Should I try to get fired? Should I quit? Should I stay because of money? Because I’m comfortable? Because I don’t know what the heck I’m doing here? I bless those experiences for what it brought me today. I KNOW, by process how I left from that place, and I left bread crumbs so if I find myself there again, I know my way out. I know I’m not perfect, but I do have a foundation to come back to if those feelings resurface. My Mondays don’t feel like those Mondays anymore. I’m actually very excited for them because I look forward to designing my plan of action, because I dream so much and Mondays I designate to bring those visions into reality.

Maybe we can have a Reggae Club on Mondays called “Dreaded Mondays.” Change that meaning right off the bat!

Lets shift and reach today!!!

HAVE A BLESSED DAY Y’ALL!!!!

ONCE A MAN, AND TWICE A CHILD

2009-01-18T16:33:00.000-08:00

Its been a while since I have shared anything on the internet. The flow of my life brought me to other things. Well it is now time for me to share again. Who says so? I don’t know. My feelings help me discern whats right for ME to do. I trust in time I’ll understand why.

2009 has been monumental for me already. I can’t help myself but to keep dreaming everyday. I guess its because I get this energy from knowing the things I dream can come into fruition. So the more I dream, the more detailed I get in to my vision. I get a clearer moving picture of the opportunities that present itself to manifest. Almost has nothing to do with me at all, but to flow. Be a kid again. You know…

What am I thinking?

2008-02-02T18:21:00.000-08:00

I was spending time with my friends Henry, Lisette, and their family- whom I haven’t seen for awhile- and something very interesting happened. Henry started asking me questions about the elections. I responded by saying, “the best thing you can do is work on yourself”. Now- even though I still hold that to be true, I don’t believe that isolating myself from what’s going on is right for me. I know I have valid reasons for not wanting to participate in the elections - such as Bush stealing the presidency and carrying out the agenda of the neo-cons and the mass media’s apparent brainwashing and distortion of information - but Henry’s questions angered me that day. Knowing that the way I feel is my responsibility, I had to ask myself why I was angered. I realized my anger had nothing to do with Henry and that my charge was due to the fact that I couldn’t truthfully answer his questions. I didn’t research all the candidates and just assumed the same old crap was going on: puppeteers pulling strings on both sides. To my surprise, I heard words from a candidate saying many of the things that I believed to be true for quite some time now. I’m talking about issues that were initially shocking to me, but the more I studied, researched, and experienced life with an open mind, they became common sense. I would only share these thoughts with friends and those who inquired about it because I did not want to face hostility or be an outcast. I guess I was too busy trying to be liked by everyone and fearing the consequences. Following that, I became a bit outspoken and started to protest and petition. That just fueled my anger and gave energy to what I didn’t want to create. So then I committed to the intention of working on myself, remembering who I am, and honestly relating to others without imposing on their free will.

Anyway, as a result of Henry’s questioning, I took advantage of this information age. I educated myself on the internet, a place where I can read information written by anyone, watch unedited video, and listen to what people say for themselves. For example, I remember the media slaughtering Rosie O’Donnell, labeling her as an America-hater, and I believed it because that’s what I heard. Well on YouTube, I came across the actual footage of what got her in to trouble on “The View”. She was basically speaking out about the media and asking questions about our government, 911, and the war- that which most celebrities are afraid to express. So I discovered that I had been condemning her for statements and actions that I happen to agree with. So in essence, what I advocate is to know for thyself. Don’t take my word for it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I respect and honor that. However, sometimes it is blatantly obvious when I hear repeated rhetoric that is fed to us from mainstream media and not coming from original thought that stems from critical thinking and asking one’s self deep questions.

It was amazing for me to see how accessible the same information is today that once labeled me as a wacko when I was in high school. Back then this information was mostly available by word of mouth from elders, books, and video cassette (Give thanks to my brother Jojo for providing to me). I remember telling my mom I believed things such as Jesus was married, intentional stamping out of the Mother Goddess, entities other than us exist as do other dimensions, a few attempting to control the world through instilling fear, the prophecies of 2012, and so on…
I know most will still believe I’m crazy, but my beliefs are not so far fetched today as they were when I was adamant and foolishly dogmatic about it. We all can choose to believe what we want. There is nothing wrong about that. I owe it to myself and others to be truthful and express myself honestly. I think it’s condescending to be fake and try to please others by putting on a show. I commend those who have been speaking their truth for a long time: Jesus, Buddha, Selassie, Malcolm X, Farrahkan, Drunvalo Melchizedek, Gregg Braden, Ramtha, Jelaila Starr, David Icke, Alex Jones, Jim Marrs are some that come to mind. Such celebrities as Arsenio Hall, Charlie and Martin Sheen, Sean Penn, Rosie O’Donnell, the Dixie Chicks, Montel, Mark Cuban, Michael Moore, Jon Stewart, Letterman, Phil Donahue, Bill Hicks, Barry Cooper, and Republican candidate Ron Paul to name a few. Please save your comments if I missed people’s names or some that I mentioned don’t seem to know the big picture because then your missing the point. These people have gathered their own information, come to their own conclusions, and declared them. To me, its not about who’s right or wrong. That is relevant to your individual values and outcomes you want to manifest. It’s about exercising our God given birthright to think for ourselves and the freedom to express ourselves honestly. In today’s world, its hard to say what we feel and not be condemned for it.

I believe our feelings are of utmost importance. We need to preserve our liberties and educate ourselves because we have the power to decide our own fate. Why else would there be so much effort to inject programming? All time is now. Making a conscious choice today can change how we feel about the past, bring new to the present, and alter future outcomes.

If anything, I wrote this for us (including myself) to ponder. You can disregard it, read it again, respond to it, love it, hate it, agree or disagree with it, erase it, or post it somewhere else. It did come from love and compassion. I am that I am. So be it.

More Life and More Love,
Jet

Fear or Love - What is your choice?

What is Huna?

2008-01-01T13:27:00.000-08:00

Why did the ancient people of the Earth not need coaches, experts, gurus, consultants or psychotherapists?

Why was mental dis-ease virtually unknown in Hawai'i prior to 1820?

Why is the land of Hawai'i even today one of the most blessed spots on Earth?

What is present in Hawai'i tradition that is missing in other places?

For a long time prior to 750 A.D., there flourished a system of personal development, healing, and spiritual discipline that was known by "everyone." The system was a balanced system -- one that honored men and women equally. There were almost no secrets; in fact, there were so few secrets that the information that comprised the techniques wasn't even organized or formally taught. It just formed the background of "how it was" in the world.

There are only remnants of this system around the Earth, because starting in 325 A.D. (it may have started as early as several thousand years B.C., but the effects were definitely under way by 325 A.D.) a wave began to sweep around the planet in an attempt to destroy the balanced systems -- the original teachings of the peoples of the Earth. The wave hit Hawaii sometime between 750 and 1250 A.D. At that time, the Kahuna Pa'ao, arrived in Hawaii, and found a very peace-loving people living in a paradise.

Several years later Pa'ao returned with a number of warriors and priests, and overturned the original system in Hawaii. When Pa'ao arrived, he installed his system, and the original teaching was changed. The old order was overturned, and the current order of Ku was installed.

The Huna that we teach predates the teaching of Pa'ao. So it is very ancient -- from before 750 A.D. We believe that before 750 A.D. the balanced order that existed was a balanced system that could be called The Order of 'Io. This is true all over the world. The balanced Male/Female system in western Europe was called Wicca, and like Huna it was attempted to wipe this teaching out. The Holy Inquisition conducted by "The Church," for example, reduced the population of Spain by more than 50% in 200 years, killing hundreds of thousands of people. In India, too, a system called Tantra was attempted to be wiped out by the newer system called Vedanta. Although Tantra fared better than Wicca, both systems were subjected to much persecution. The situation was the same all over the world, from the Native Americans, to the Aboriginals of Australia, each of the peoples bearing the original teachings were (and, be sure, still are) subjected to an attempt to eradicate the culture, and the teachings. In Hawaii, fortunately. the original teachings were hidden in the chants of the Ancient Ones -- when the original teachings were overturned they went underground. The original teachings were hidden inside of the chants and the Hulahula (Hula dances), and they have waited. They have waited, hidden, for a long, long time. The newer arrivals adopted chants and Hulahula which contained mysteries hidden to them but which were simply waiting for a rebirth of the original teachings.

The teachings were buried again (to a second level) in the ancient chants when the Missionaries arrived from Boston in 1820. Their arrival was not accidental, since the more modern Hawaiian system (order of Ku), called the Kapu system had been ended by King Kamehameha VI in 1819.

Once again the new priests brought their new gods, and the original teachings were buried even deeper. The Missionaries began to do away with the old "superstitious ways." In 1820, they passed the first of the laws that were designed to eradicate the ancient teachings:

"'Section 1034: Sorcery -- Penalty, Any person who shall attempt the cure of another by
the practice of sorcery, witchcraft, ananna (sic), hoopiopio, hoounauna, or
hoomanamana, or other superstitious or deceitful methods, shall, upon conviction
thereof, be fined in a sum not less than one hundred dollars or be imprisoned not to
exceed six months at hard labor.' There is also another section of the law which classes
the kahuna with bunco men and defines him as one posing as a kahuna, taking money
under pretense of having magical power, or admitting he is a kahuna. For this the fine
goes up to a thousand dollars and a year in prison."
-- Long, 1948

So, in a Pacific Island nation influenced by American Missionaries, the people were disallowed from practicing their original teachings until the federal government of the United States passed the Native American Religious Freedoms Act in 1979. Amazingly, in 1953 the Kahuna, Daddy Bray, was arrested for chanting a chant in the Hawaiian language at Hulihee Palace in downtown Kona -- a chant quite similar to a chant we teach at our Huna seminars in Hawaii.

We believe the final law against the practice of the ancient ways was repealed in 1989. But it was predicted that this would happen. Today, the entire planet is experiencing a revival of the old teachings, where once again we will experience the return of the balanced systems of teaching.

ASTROLOGY - Stephanie's Daily Forecast 1-1-2008

2008-01-01T10:32:00.000-08:00

Happy New Year and welcome to the first of eight 1:1:1 Star Gates for 2008. It is fitting that the Moon is in the via combusta today, as it generates exciting fiery energies that are in perfect alignment with the vibration of the year ahead.

Star Gates happen when the numbers align and a portal of consciousness opens as a result. Downloads of information then pour through this portal in the form of light streams of consciousness. Triple Star Gates pour through the Galactic Core, where Jupiter and Pluto have just begun their latest 13 year cycle. Pluto prepares to move into Capricorn in a few more weeks, but he will retrograde back into Sagittarius and spend much of the year ahead in the Sagittarius/Galactic Core vibration. There is no mistake about any of this.
1:1:1 is the manifestation (3) of beginnings (1). One is leadership, creation and the power to make happen what has never before been realized. In order to receive the download from a Star Gate, we must be open. Open Open Open. Begin this day with meditation. If you don’t meditate, sit still and focus your mind on your breath or on a candle flame. This will put your mind on one point and you will notice how quiet it becomes inside your head. This is the beginning of stillness. Stillness is where we need to be if we’re going to manifest anything new at all.

So get still and open your mind, your eyes, your hands and your heart to all that you are being given today. You won’t know what the information is as it comes to you, so don’t use your mind to try and understand. Star Gates must be received at the heart level as it is only the heart that can make any sense out of the Truth it receives.

The Moon is in Libra today and she aspects all the outer planets, Saturn and Mars. This means the information we receive is universally oriented and deals with relationships. As we all know, the only relationship there is is the one we have with our self, and most importantly, with our higher Self, or Source. Mastery is the order of the year, and in order to master our Selves we must learn to leave the old way of living behind us now. That means no more drama, no more addiction, no more emotional attachment.

Each of you reading this is a Lightworker and as such you signed on to be a leader for the human race to make its way into the 5th Dimension, taking our Beloved Earth with us. By this time in 2012 we will be living fully in the 5th Dimension, a dimension of Love and Light, where what we know of each other is energetic and we can recognize the spirit in all things.

So we have 5 years to practice living in the New Light and leading everyone around us into this new dimension. We are leaders, but we are not special. It is vital to understand that we are all One and no one is more or less than anyone else. This movement, from 3D to 4D to 5D is an inside job. Practice Being the Love you are and you will automatically lead everyone you know by example.

That this is an inside job is expressed by the one aspect to an inner planet today, a Moon Mars trine. Mars is retrograde and out of bounds. We are in new inner territory. We must be turned inward to receive these 1:1:1 Star Gates, and all of the important consciousness they offer. The Moon goes into a void after this Mars aspect and emerges in Scorpio later this evening. Great inner transformations are slated for 2008. It’s an inside job and more than ever this year we will realize how profoundly the world around us mirrors our own personal Truth.

Make your personal Truth one of Love and Communion with the Souls around you. We are truly all One and this year we get to live it and breathe it and manifest it into the World. As we do, the planet will be born again, and we will witness the emergence of a new World, which by our own personal contributions, we are manifesting. We are truly co-creating this world with Source. Truly, at the highest aspect of our Selves, we ARE Source. We are becoming God-realized. Here’s to the year of Enlightenment!

”It’s in every one of us
To be Wise
Find your heart
Open up both your eyes
We can all know everything
Without ever knowing why
It’s in every one of us
By and By.”

The main causes in divorces are:

· Extramarital affairs - 27% (29%)
· Family strains - 18% (11%)
· Emotional/physical abuse - 17% (10%)
· Mid-life crisis - 13% (not in 2003 survey)
· Addictions, e.g. alcoholism and gambling - 6% (5%)
· Workaholism - 6% (5%)

TOP WEDDING DESTINATIONS:

· Las Vegas (100,000 weddings/year)
· Hawaii (25,000 wedding/year)
· Bahamas (5,000 weddings/year)
· Jamaica (5,000 weddings/year)
· U.S. Virgin Islands (4,000 weddings/year)

With 80% of traditional weddings performed in churches or synagogues, religious dogmatic deceiving teachings are used to make you promise your mate with “love and respect till death do us apart” and again with so much divorces going on, your chosen religious ceremony prove the inadequacy and failure of your “religion” to help you. Those who stay in a bad relationship do so because of pure necessity, money, guilt, fear, or lack of will to induce the changes. Water and earth signs are reluctant to move on and prone to physical or emotional abuse. As a rule, women are naturally set to love and respect her man and will be forced to STAND strong against an abusive, usually insecure, jealous partner. Thus he is teaching her to develop strengths. While a man is more like a child and has to the learn the hard way, a woman will not turn back once the “red line” has been crossed. She may give you a couple of chances if she really loves you, but in time she will move away from you. Thus women are teaching us men to be more sensitive, more respectful, and to soften our Martian masculine qualities to build the relationship, NOT burn it to the ground.

Women are NOT like us men. Women can see better than a cat in the dark, smell better and hear better than a dog and her intuition is her ONLY but extraordinary protective, accurate gift. A wounded woman protecting her children and her heart can become as powerful and deadly as a Tigress and she will tear your uncaring heart apart in no time. But she will do it in her feminine way and in her own sweet time if she chooses. Now let’s hope the Plutonic/Scorpionic area of her chart does not get to your sorry butt because subconsciously all women are “white witches” and their distressed thoughts (thoughts are things) are acting as a mighty laser beam, going through the thickest wall and WILL in time and space reach your own heart. Now you wonder why you feel so miserable in jail, in your house lonely praying for her return and feel lost each day? Your ego may be in the way or maybe time has not yet worked in her favor, but don’t be fooled, women were born to love, to respect, to cherish, to challenge, to give life, to protect and to teach Men RESPECT.

I have myself found out the hard way and my heart is still bleeding for a girl named Christy in Farmington, New Mexico and I am man enough and true to myself enough to openly expose my true feelings for such a fantastic girl. Well she is gone now and since then I have tried to find in other girls her passionate kisses, her gentle voice and Cancer supreme caring nature and at no avail so far. I can only wish her the best and it is because of the depth of my pain and all the hard lessons I fully deserve that I will love, respect and KEEP my new girl when she reach for my heart. The saying “you do not know what you have until its gone” could not be any truer. I only wish I knew more about the “Cosmic Code” when I first met her, so my own ignorance was my curse. Let me teach you all about Astropsychology so you can use it for your children, your lover, spouse, friends or family because knowledge is power and ignorance is evil.

I woke up today thinking a lot about my Sami Girl! I would love to see her today. Hopefully I will. She plays freshman basketball for Baldwin Park High School. I'm excited to see her play. What a beautiful girl inside and out. I still get blown away that she's my baby girl. Okay, she's not a baby. She is a young adult, and I'm very proud to be her Daddy.

GIVE THANKS

Its Saturday evening and I'm about to study. Yah! That's right. It's Saturday night and I'm studying. It feels good to have more clarity in my life, be clear with my intentions and not feel confused. I enjoy school more than I thought I ever could. I'm being educated on things I'm passionate about. It's also always fun for me to meet new people and be in new places. All my classmates (including the teacher) is cool. Thank you God. I'm enjoying myself.
Here's a pic of me in class doing some rock climbing. You know how we do. Thanks for the picture Minh! And yes, that is an orb around my head.

ARTICLES - Overcome Your Emotional Roadblocks 12/12/07

2007-12-15T09:37:00.000-08:00

We all have something standing in the way of coping with our emotional pain. Here are seven ways to break through.

By Bob Livingstone

We all experience emotional pain in our lives. Someone close to us will eventually die. A friend or lover will betray us. We will lose our jobs or not get the one we really wanted. Many of us have been victims of physical, emotional and/or sexual abuse. We experience racism, sexism and other forms of hatred. Many of us have difficulties with processing these issues.

Last week I was conducting my class on healing emotional pain at the San Francisco County Jail when one of the women asked, “Why has it been so difficult for me to face my emotional pain?” Most of the other women in the group then asked follow-up questions in that same vein. I pondered this issue for a while. I realized that that this is indeed the first question one needs to explore when wondering what events have caused internal wounds, hurts, or traumas. If you cannot look at your pain, then you can never resolve it. Why, then, is it so hard to look at it?

We are reluctant to face our emotional pain because:

1. We are afraid that what may be uncomfortable now will become terrifying if we open that door to our feelings and memories.
Find the sacred in the everyday routine of your life

2. We are taught that we are not supposed to spend too much time or dwell on events that have been painful. We believe that we are to "suck it up" and move on, rather than wonder how this hurt affects us.

3. We are instructed that looking at our emotional hurt will cause something that is now a nuisance to become an infected wound that will never heal.

4. We are taught that we are not to burden others with our problems. We are fearful that if we examine our issues too closely, we will become babbling idiots who overtax the ears of our friends and loved ones.

5. We believe that dealing with our emotional pain is a task that is impossible to accomplish.

You can break through these roadblocks by:

1. Discovering the internal faith that you deserve to overcome these wounds. This faith can be religious, spiritual, your place of wisdom, or your higher power. Your internal faith is what helps you face troubling times, confusion, and loss.

2. Learning that the energy invested in pushing the pain away is not worth the price of becoming physically ill, drug-dependent, or devoid of any feelings. This energy can be instead used for recovery, spiritual awakening, self-direction, and confidence-building activities.

3. Learning that facing emotional pain can be an exciting, joyful, and ultimately redemptive journey. You will find joy simply by breaking through long-standing grief and pain. You may able to learn to love yourself.

4. Discovering how physical exercise can improve your self-esteem, mood, and confidence that will allow you to work through your emotional pain. Exercising will also bring back the playful innocence of a child. It will make you feel and look better. It will increase your organizational abilities and give you a purpose.

5. Learning techniques that will help you tolerate the angst that comes up. Those techniques include: realizing that the memories of the trauma are about events that took place in the past, not the present, and learning to nurture the child within.

6. Learning that you can find healthy ways to distract yourself from the pain when it becomes too overwhelming. You can focus on what is happening in the present instead. Going for a walk or reading a book are healthy ways to take your mind off the pain.

7. Finding others who are not only willing to patiently listen to your story, but have the need to share their struggles with you. You will discover the beauty of actually connecting with others.

ASTROLOGY - Stephanie's Daily Forecast 12-12-07

The Moon went into a void last night around dinnertime EST, and it will remain void all day today, from Midnight to Midnight. This is another unusual event in a series of rare events that will continue to grace the earth on and off for the next year or so. An all day void Capricorn Moon gives us the chance to commune with the Mother. The Father, Source, our Divine higher selves poured forth its wisdom yesterday and today we have the opportunity to ground that liquid Light of consciousness into the Mother herself, all day long, uninterrupted. There is no mistake about this. It’s all happening for a reason.

It’s an important reason. It’s actually what we’re here for. We are here, not to ascend our Selves, because in Truth, we are eternal beings and we have all ascended already, many times over. We are here to bring the Earth into ascension, as she has never done so before. And today, each of us can begin to make our individual contributions by choosing to pour into the planet that which we have begun to understand. Do this consciously today. Pour your Light into the Mother and offer her what you have so graciously received.

The Moon aligns on the ecliptic with Mercury, Jupiter and the Sun, and semisextiles both Jupiter and Pluto late this evening. We are still reverberating loudly with the download of new social consciousness we received yesterday and we will continue to do so for many years to come. Hold on to the gift of believing. It’s all given to us through Source. There is nothing here that is not Source, therefore it is all Source. Belief and Trust and Faith are essential here. Hold on. We are blasting off.

In the middle of the void Moon Venus and Saturn sextile each other, and this is a huge aspect to be taking place in the middle of all this energy of higher consciousness. Venus and Saturn spent the entire summer teaching us to Love our Selves more. This is the moment to utilize the knowledge we gained back then. Trust yourself. Know that you are who you truly wish to be. Commune with the Goddess today and in the stillness, step into your Truth and become the Love you are. Mother Earth needs your Light for her own ascension process. We are all here for her.

”We all came into this world gifted with innocence, but gradually, as we became more intelligent, we lost our innocence.

We were born with silence and as we grew up, we lost the silence and were filled with words.

We lived in our hearts and as time passed, we moved into our heads.

Now the reversal of this journey is enlightenment.

It is the journey from the head back to the heart, from words back to silence; getting back to our innocence in spite of our intelligence.

Although very simple, this is a great achievement.”
Eckhart Tolle

I love you. I love. Love. I guess I’m breaking it down as far as it can go. How you love is the lesson. It can be done alone or with a partner. Most people try to find it fervently with a partner. As if finding that partner, you can become whole, be completed, or make the world right by simply being with them. Most of us project aspects of ourselves and our parents onto our beloved and get a limited overstanding - or never get to know who they really are. Our primary agenda, whether we admit it or not, is to mold the other person to our own preexisting idea of a mate or fantasy.

Adolescent love affairs begin with a period of ecstasy in which everything is heavenly.
Soon come, is the let down, the mutual perception that the other is not perfect after all. We try to mold that person but it just doesn’t work. We have to stay in our own heart, if we want to feel the feeling of love. When we leave our own hearts and try to change the other, we feel the pain. If that person is not up to par, which they can never fully be, we blame it on them or even ourselves.

Before soul initiation, the ego feels a genuine and inconsolable loneliness and longing. It does really need to be completed by something. But it cannot be completed by a romantic relationship with another. Only the soul, the divine lover, completes the ego and allows it to feel fittingly partnered.

The adolescent has nothing to do but project all of its longing onto someone other than themselves. Loneliness continuously fuels the desire for love affairs. Until it discovers an alternative, it will keep seeking completion in that way and failing.

Human romance can deepen the sacred marriage between the ego and soul, but it is not a substitute.

A youthful approach to love is not itself the problem; the problem is the rarity of what comes next in terms of development. Can we develop a mature way of engaging a lover that has a deeper, more spiritual, sustainable, and even sexier set of possibilities that encourage and support soul development?

Our egoistic actions are deeply rooted and our romantic fantasies do not die easily.

As soon as I let go of this fantasy, and thank all my relationships for showing me myself, I begin to experience myself as whole already, fully eligible to be in love with the world either alone or partnered. I am less likely to project myself upon others.

In the mystery of love, as we learn to love another truly, we meet the beloved of our own soul through the eyes of another.

HE
IS WISE
WHO UNDERSTAND
THAT THE STARS ARE LUMINARIES
CREATED AS SIGNS AND THAT IS HE WHO
WILL CONQUER THE STARS THAT WILL HOLD
THE GOLDEN KEYS TO GOD'S MYSTERIOUS UNIVERSE

~ Nostradamus

But let it be understood here, no action of any planet or the phases of the sun, moon or any of the heavenly bodies surpass the rule of man’s willpower… The inclinations of man are ruled by the planets under which he is born, for the destiny of man lies within the sphere or scope of the planets. “The stars incline—they do not compel.

Planetary relationships are explained as being part of a great plan for soul development. This plan calls for the individual soul-entity to experience creation in all its diversity, so that each may return as a companion with the creator. The record of this experience becomes that part of an individual known as the akasha or soul record.

Life is a purposeful experience, and the place in which a person finds himself is one in which he may use his present abilities, faults, failures, virtues in fulfilling the purpose for which the soul decided to manifest in the three-dimensional plane. Know in thyself that there are immutable laws, and the universe about thyself is directed by laws set in motion from the beginning.

So, as ye condemn, so are ye condemned. As ye forgive, so may ye be forgiven. As ye do unto the least of thy brethren, so ye do it unto thy maker.

Balance comes from constant effort, through application of an ideal in every department of action and thought, including, probably, sojourns in planetary dimensions.
