First Impressions Are Intuitive

First Impressions Are Intuitive

by Owen K Waters

Whenever you step firmly into heart-centered consciousness, your awareness immediately becomes more connected to your inner source of intuition. Through intuition, you become aware of information about people, places and events that springs from the essence of those people, places and events. This information is not delivered through the outside senses, although it may unfold within you at the same time that you receive sensory information.

While visual information relates only to the sense of sight, intuitive information includes much more. It includes all sensory information – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste – and, in addition to that, the thoughts, feelings and memories that are relevant to the situation.

First impressions are more than just visual. They are intuitive as well. When you are about to meet a person for the first time and you are approaching them, you will receive a visual impression and your consciousness will also receive impressions about the nature of their consciousness, such as their true emotional state. That intuitive stream of information will come into your awareness alongside the visual stream and, if you are aware that it exists, you can add the intuitive information to your conscious impression of the person.

Everyone receives this intuitive information stream unconsciously, but, for it to arrive in your conscious mind, you have to:

1) Be aware that it exists.

2) Be open to receiving it.

The more you practice having an openness to intuitive information, the more this will develop.

Most people are not aware of their mental and emotional transmissions. In a crowd of people, these transmissions add together and there is as much mental noise as there is physical noise. As you become more in tune with your inner senses, you will find that, on some occasions, it’s better not to access your intuitive information for a time, just to give yourself some peace from the volume of mental noise.

At night, when you travel out-of-body in the spirit realms, communication is different than when you are awake in your physical body. The natural method of communication in your spirit body is to exchange information with others via thought. In the spirit world, people naturally know when to open for a communication and when to close down their thought transmissions again. There, you sense when a person ‘opens’ to you and sends a mental greeting, or when they are ‘closed’ and not offering any communication.

In daily life, first impressions are intuitive as well as visual. The reception of such information is automatic, but the conscious mind misses this information feed when it is focused entirely upon the external world.

Be more aware of your own intuitive information. Be open to it. Then, it will flow right into your conscious mind along with the visual information that your conscious mind is receiving.

Your True Inner Self

Posted by Admin on May 17, 2012

Your True Inner Self
by Owen K Waters

Your inner self is your complete self. Often referred to as your soul or higher self, your inner self includes all aspects of your consciousness as an individual.

Your inner self encompasses all levels of your consciousness – subconscious, superconscious and waking consciousness. You can think of your waking consciousness as an “outer self,” because it’s function is to focus upon a world which has the appearance of being external. The human brain is designed to translate the concepts of space and time into something that appears real. Your outer self’s focus is directed at the physical world, which it perceives through the five physical senses.

People habitually think of their soul as being something elsewhere, and not something that encompasses their waking consciousness. They also think of the world as being “out there” rather than what it really is – an internal projection of theatrical props which make life appear to be a real drama.

It is more useful to use the term “inner self” to describe the complete self because, compared to the external world, it appears to be inside of you.

When you look at the reality of life, everything is inside of you. As a spark of Infinite Being, the entire universe is inside of you because the universe was created within the consciousness of Infinite Being. The definition of “Infinite Being” is “consciousness which encompasses all.” Nothing can be outside of an all-encompassing consciousness, therefore all must be within and, as an aspect of Infinite Being, it is within you.

Before you were born, you carefully planned the possibilities for this incarnation. Your inner self had access to all of the probabilities which would unfold in your current life, thus enabling you to make a life plan. You examined several possible lives and chose this one for the experiences that it would let you explore.

Think of your inner self as a nonphysical, spiritual personality which chose to enter your body at the time of birth. Gradually, over a period of months, your conscious mind formed a greater attachment to this new body and eventually became completely identified with it.

The current system of incarnation on earth involves spiritual amnesia – we are born with blank physical memories as part of the challenge of reconnecting with our spiritual essence during physical incarnation. That system will change in the coming centuries as human consciousness rises to new challenges and opportunities but, in the meantime, it still provides a fresh start to every incarnation that we choose to experience.

Each incarnation occurs in different locations and historical times, with different sets of parents and societal environments. This creates the opportunity for you to play many roles as different personalities. Your inner nature does shine through into your outer personality as an influence, but the variety provided by different incarnations is enormous. Imagine, over the last two thousand years, experiencing incarnations as a centurion defending Rome against the barbarians, then a quiet life as a peasant farmer’s wife in Spain, then plying the Mediterranean trade routes as first mate on a spice ship, then as an English nun and finally a talk show host. Now that’s variety!

Personalities vary from life to life because of the societal environment in which they are formed. Shining through that outer personality, however, is the real you, your spiritual inner self. The wisdom of knowing how to handle a challenge often comes from the inner knowing gained from the experience of countless lifetimes.

You can get in touch with your inner self if you take the time to simply go within using a meditation technique such as the Infinite Being meditation.

In that contemplative state, ask yourself what it feels like when you get in touch with your inner self. How does life look when seen from its perspective? How does it feel to be connected to that part of you which is, in turn, consciously connected to the entire universe? How does it feel to live beyond the confines of space and time?

Words like freedom, expansion, joy and harmony spring to life while you are in the presence of your true, spiritual self.

Your inner self is eternal. It can never cease to exist, any more than Infinite Being can cease to exist. This eternal part of you has wisdom and love beyond the confines of any single incarnation. Feel the security of knowing this eternal part of yourself. While you are in the conscious presence of your inner self, see how meaningful the affirmation from the Infinite Being meditation becomes:

“I am Infinite Being.”

Gaining Intuitive Insights

Posted by Admin on May 17, 2012

Gaining Intuitive Insights
by Owen K Waters

It’s a little-known secret that, during the first two hours of sleep at night, people reconnect with their soul consciousness. The spirit realms are where most dreams occur throughout the night. The soul realms are beyond this. To reach soul consciousness, your awareness moves up through the spirit realms and, upon reaching the deepest sleep state, reconnects with your innermost state of beingness.

During that time of reconnection with the core of your essence, you review the latest events in your life and plan what would be best for your next moves. You won’t consciously remember the experience when you return to your sleeping physical body, but your soul awareness is always there in the background, ready to be accessed at any time by conscious intent.

Accessing the wisdom of your soul awareness takes only a moment. Just stop what you are doing, turn your attention within and see what your intuitive impressions are concerning the issue at hand. When you slow down for a moment to tune into the subtle and quiet whisperings of your soul, then you have true wisdom at your disposal in the world of daily living.

The advice to “sleep on it” when faced with a big decision now takes on a whole new meaning. Knowing that you will mull this decision over at a soul level at night, you can appreciate that, the next day, your feelings on which course of action to take will be inspired by the wisdom of your soul.

At a soul level, you have access to a much wider perspective of reality. For a start, you can project any decision into the future and see, in lifelike reality, exactly how that decision will work out. That process certainly beats guessing at such outcomes. In a soul-level projection of the future, you see all the threads of interactions with other people and how everything will turn out based upon current trends. This wisdom is then available to your waking state via the power of intuition.

Personally, when it comes to an important decision, I insist on having three nights of “sleeping on it” before I will agree to give an answer as to whether I will go ahead. Doing this means never again having to say, “It seemed like a good idea at the time!”

Sometimes, you are faced with a situation that has just come up and you could use some insight as to what the real situation is. You may be on the spot and not be able to retreat into a quiet location for a good meditation. In that case, just polling your sense of intuition for inside information can be enough to bring up insights that help you handle the situation in the best way possible.

After a soul contact session, you’ll either find yourself thinking, “Wow, why didn’t I think of that earlier?” or you may find yourself feeling stuck. If that is the case, let the problem go for now and entrust your soul awareness to research and find the best solution. Ask for insights to pop up into your awareness at any time, detach by releasing the topic to your soul, and go about other activities. It won’t be long before some very helpful thoughts arise as if out of nowhere.

The power of intuition works to give you all the insights and inside information that you need to make a great success out of everything you seek to achieve.

Vital Life Energy

Posted by Admin on May 17, 2012

Vital Life Energy
by Owen K Waters

Vital life energy is an apt name for what science will eventually recognize as “etheric energy”. Etheric energy is a primary energy while electric energy is, by comparison, a secondary, more dense energy.

Leaving the future of science aside, etheric or vital life energy has been recognized in the healing arts for thousands of years. Chinese medicine, for example, is based on the analysis and balancing of vital life energy or “chi” in the subtle nervous system of the human body.

Treatment is achieved by herbs with appropriate energetic qualities or by acupuncture, which redirects or enhances energy flows in the subtle nervous system. By achieving balance at the more subtle level, balance also manifests in the physical level.

In Hindu philosophy and medicine, vital life energy is referred to as prana. In Japan, it is called ki. Some of the more modern names include bioenergy and orgone.

The ancient, energy-enhancing practice of Tai Chi is now well-known in the West as is Chi Gong (or Qigong.) Chi Gong is a practice of aligning breath, movement, and awareness for exercise, healing, and meditation.

My partner Dreama Vance is an ardent practitioner of Chi Gong and she will be teaching it in weekly classes to a group in Boulder, Colorado this summer.

Modern spiritual healing methods, including Therapeutic Touch and Reiki, employ vital life energy to boost the body’s natural ability to restore health and balance. Spiritual healing can be a hands-on experience or it can be carried out at a distance. Distant healers use their skills to send vital life energy to people anywhere in the world, regardless of location.

Spiritual Healing News

Earlier this year, I recommended the talented spiritual healer Amma Magi to anyone who wishes to obtain distant healing. On her website, she also offers a helpful free guide called “Spiritual Self-Healing” to show anyone how to attract and direct vital life energy in order to restore physical health and balance.

Her website’s Contact page was experiencing a technical problem where intended emails never came through to her. So, if you tried to contact her and heard nothing in return, please try again as her direct email link is now on her website.

Nocturnal Adventures – Part II

Posted by Admin on May 17, 2012

Nocturnal Adventures – Part II
by Owen K Waters

Last week, I pointed out that a curtain of forgetfulness is drawn across our consciousness each time we awake from sleep. Because our nighttime adventures typically occur in the fourth-density spirit world, which is a more subtle realm than our third-density physical world, our nocturnal activities are more vivid, more alive, and more real than anything that occurs during the day.

Because the spirit world is where the population of the afterlife lives, you often meet friends and relatives there who have passed on from the physical world. Nighttime can be a wonderful time of reunion with such dear friends, so it’s well worth making the effort to increase your dream recall ability.

Your spirit body naturally resonates to the spirit world. Once freed from the physical shell each night as your physical body falls asleep, it will normally move upwards from the physical third-density world towards the light of the fourth-density spirit world. Upon arriving, you will notice extra light everywhere: It fills the air and it radiates outwards from solid objects. This is because material in the spirit realms is made of etheric energy, which is a higher energy than the electric energy that forms physical matter.

The air in the spirit world is filled with etheric energy, ready to be drawn into some useful form by the intent of any individual. People in the afterlife can build a new home just as fast as they can visualize every part of it. It will stay in existence as long as they pay it occasional attention. If they want a little variety in the appearance of their new home, they can even redecorate it every day! If they leave and move elsewhere, the house will slowly dissolve, over a period of months, back into the atmosphere as etheric energy.

The fact that people who live in the spirit realms create homes does not exclude you, the temporary nighttime visitor, from doing the same. In fact, having a private retreat somewhere in the spirit world is a wonderful help in recovering from the stresses of daytime physical living. There is plenty of space in the spirit world for you to find a quiet, private location for your retreat.

One of the curious properties of the spirit world is that you can actually create your own space, fill it with objects of your own design, and it will be something that no one else would perceive unless they tuned into your thought pattern as the creator of that scene. It can even be large enough to include your own idea of an ocean scene with a perfect, setting sun. It won’t be the actual Sun; it’ll just be your own, private, artistic creation built for your own enjoyment, and it will last for as long as you pay occasional attention to it.

The spirit or astral body is quasi-physical. This means that, while it is subtle and etheric compared to the physical body, it is still solid in its own environment. In the spirit realms of 4D, matter is composed of etheric energy and is solid to the touch. If you bump into another spirit or astral body on your travels, they will seem solid, just like bumping into another person in the physical world.

The fact that spirit matter is less dense than physical matter gives you a lot more freedom of movement. You can meet a friend halfway around the world in one or two seconds of travel time just by projecting your spirit body to that new location. You tune into that person and, wherever they are, mentally project, and you will appear at that location.

A simple intention is all it takes to decide what each night’s adventure can be. Then, upon awakening, you’re halfway to remembering what happened.

So far, we have examined the possibilities for nocturnal adventures where you can:

1. Go and see friends and relatives who have either passed on or, just like you, are temporarily out-of-body for the night.

2. Notice how the 4D air is full of energy and materialize solid objects either just for fun or for artistic development.

3. Find a piece of land away from it all and build a small retreat there.

4. Decide who or where to go and see in a distant location, gather your intent, and project there instantly.

The challenge is to remember such adventures. Intent is the key. Tell yourself,

“Tonight, I intend to (have this adventure) and I will remember it upon awakening.”

Keep a notebook and pen right beside your bed and some source of light (even a flashlight will do.) Get in the habit of recalling dreams as soon as you awake and writing down everything you can. You’ve just returned from another world to a brain that’s had the night off, so those memories will begin to fade fast as soon as you wake up. Seconds count in writing down those dream details.

Realize that the immediate dreamstate is shallow compared to full immersion in the spirit world. The easiest dreams to recall are the ones that occur when you are almost ready to wake up. They are typically dramatic scenes filled with symbols that help you integrate the stresses that you have felt in previous days. The key to understanding them is to ask what each symbol means to you emotionally. Then, you’ll understand the stress that was being worked out in the dream, or the message that your inner being was bringing to the surface for your attention.

As you become more practiced in dream recall, you will soon reach beyond the initial dreamstate and remember the deeper, real-life experiences that you have each night in the spirit world.

The good news is that today, due to ongoing effect of The Shift, the veil is thinning between the 3D physical world and the 4D spirit world. As each year passes, people are remembering more and more upon awakening. You may sometimes find yourself between wakefulness and sleep and you are really not sure which state you are in. Today, this is quite common due to the thinning of the veil. As The Shift continues, physical matter will move fully into 4D, there will be no veil and full recall will be easy.

Nocturnal Adventures

Posted by Admin on April 22, 2012

Nocturnal Adventures
by Owen K Waters

Other than a few remembered dreams, our nighttime slumbers seem to be one big twilight zone of consciousness where nothing much happens at all.

Nothing could be further from the truth!

A curtain of forgetfulness is drawn across our consciousness each time we awake from sleep. What really happens at night is actually more vivid, more alive, and more real than anything that happens during the day in the physical world.

At night, we travel in a more subtle world than the physical one. Human consciousness has many ‘bodies,’ or shells of consciousness, each of which functions at a different level of awareness. The more dense bodies used by each human being are the physical body, its etheric energy counterpart, and the astral or spirit body. The less dense ones begin with the soul ‘body,’ which is a nonphysical field of consciousness that exists beyond the limitations of time and space, and then go on up the frequency scale of consciousness from there.

To understand where these bodies fit into the grand scale of universal consciousness, realize that there are 12 density layers of consciousness. Some people refer to the different density layers as ‘dimensions.’ As physical beings today, we exist in third density and are in the process of transitioning into fourth density. Fourth density has been traditionally the home of the spirit realms. It still will be after The Shift to higher consciousness has been completed, but the spirit realms will move up to higher sub-layers within fourth density as the physical realm moves in.

The spirit realms are referred to in the plural as there are many sub-layers of consciousness within fourth density. The spirit or astral realms are also known as the afterlife. They vary from the lower astral realms, through the highly-populated middle realms, and on into the higher astral realms or heavens.

When you eventually pass on from the physical realm, as we all do eventually, you will find yourself located in the exact spirit realm that corresponds to your normal frequency of consciousness. If you have strong issues to resolve, they will hold you back a little until you have worked through them by a process of integration. The whole experience of the afterlife is dedicated to the integration of whatever issues of separation were generated during a person’s physical lifetime. If they became polarized against a particular person, i.e. grew to hate them, then they will learn to see the situation from a higher perspective and heal that issue of separation through the forgiveness of themselves and the other person. Then, as the healing of any issues occurs, they rise higher in consciousness within the spirit world.

The mentality of 3D (the third density physical world) is SEPARATIVE in nature and 4D (the fourth density spirit world) is INTEGRATIVE, or healing, in nature. 3D resonates to the human solar plexus energy center, with its mental development and its competitive nature, while 4D resonates to the heart.

The higher aspect of heart consciousness is the first stage of spiritual awareness. It is here that, as a principle, the good of the many is recognized as being more important than immediate benefits to the self. This leads to a sense of service where the person wants to help ensure that the best is available to everyone.

This is the foundation of a world which is supportive rather than competitive. In such a world there really is more for everyone; much more, because the energy that was spent in competition against others is now funneled into productive work.

At night, when you leave the awareness of your physical body behind, it is not because your brain has shut down for the night. It is because your attention has shifted into your spirit body. Your spirit body rises out of your physical body and prepares to begin your nocturnal adventures.

Next week, we’ll take a tour of the spirit world and see what options you have for the best of nocturnal adventures. And, we’ll go on to discuss how to develop better dreamtime recall so that you can remember those adventures.

The New Reality

Posted by Admin on April 9, 2012

The New Reality
by Owen K Waters

Did you ever stare at the night sky and wonder how many stars there are out there?

Thanks to science today, we have a good estimate of the number of stars in the entire universe. At the last count, there are more than seventy thousand, million, million, million stars.

How do we, as human beings, wrap our minds around the enormity of that? How do we even attempt to envision something that large?

The universe measures more than fifteen billion light-years across, which means that it would take a particle of light fifteen billion years to travel that distance. Or would it?

At the subatomic or quantum level of reality, light doesn’t travel like you’d think it does. Light only appears when someone is there to look at it. The rest of the time it is nowhere to be seen. Light actually exists outside of space and outside of time. That means that space and time are perspectives seen by the observer, but not by the light particle. Light particles routinely dodge around the space-time constraints under which we assume that they exist.

Inner consciousness is the new frontier of discovery today. Inner consciousness is not something small which is crammed inside the human brain. It is bigger than the universe, because it contains all of Creation. Outer space is merely a projection of consciousness. Inner space is the consciousness doing the projecting. That’s why light particles appear to have traveled fifteen billion light-years across the universe in order to reach us as observers. Because we interpret them that way in our consciousness. We construct reality according to those perceptions.

The Shift occurring in consciousness today includes a shift to the perspective that all life is a construct of consciousness. The fabric of the universe, the primal Field, was created by consciousness and is held in existence by consciousness. The entire universe is the consciousness of the Creator.

Because space is a perspective of consciousness, it is not really “out there,” it actually exists within you. You have one view of that field of consciousness from a viewpoint that is unique to your personality. That view comes complete with an apparent location in space and an apparent location in time.

We are approaching a global paradigm shift where the world realizes that everything is made up of consciousness. Consciousness creates energy, it creates matter, and it creates the perspectives of space and time.

Spiritual philosophies already see the universe as the consciousness of the Creator. When science takes its next step and sees the consciousness that underlies all phenomena, then we will once again have a common link between science and spirituality.

Jump-Starting Your Sense of Inner Wisdom

Posted by Admin on April 1, 2012

Jump-Starting Your Sense of Inner Wisdom
by Owen K Waters

Development takes time, whether it’s physical, mental or spiritual. Life is like taking a train ride to another place just for the experience, one where you just enjoy the passing scenery and never ask, “Are we there yet?”

At some point, you reach the destination and then move on to seeking out the next experience. The point of the ride is to learn along the way, knowing all the while that journeys of learning are undertaken for the process more than the destination.

Developing contact with your soul or inner being takes time, along with a delicate touch. Your soul exists at a more subtle level of consciousness than your conscious mind. While your conscious mind exists in the noise and clatter of a physical existence, your soul, by comparison, lives in a world of whispers. It is an enchanted land where the magical happens and wonders unfold at the speed of thought.

Communications from your inner self arrive as the merest whispers of intuition. They are subtle feelings that help you lean towards the course of action which will work out the best. The more you encourage communication between your conscious mind and your inner being, the more examples you will experience of your own inner guidance being full of the wisdom and foresight which only a higher state of consciousness can produce.

You can prove to yourself – right now – that a store of great wisdom lies just beyond your daily conscious awareness. All it takes is the willingness to perform a valid, unbiased experiment with no skepticism or self-doubt allowed. If you are willing to do that experiment, then you will jump-start your ability to consciously receive inner wisdom and you will prove to yourself that you really do have an inner resource of impressive wisdom.

The key to this quantum leap in your intuitive ability is to give yourself permission to let your inner being – which functions at a higher frequency of consciousness – to come through into your daily, conscious awareness. You already have a higher level of inner wisdom. If you’re not used to it coming through into your daily awareness, it’s just because you haven’t opened the door yet by giving it permission. Now, you’re going to let that inner wisdom come through by using the key act of giving it conscious permission.

Anyone can sit down in a quiet place and, provided they give themselves permission, allow their inner being or ‘higher self’ to produce writings that contain greater wisdom than any thoughts currently contained in their conscious minds. Try it and see. It involves the simple tool of role-playing. ‘Act as if,’ and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what you find.

First, do whatever works best for you to enter a relaxed, contemplative state of mind, or just close your eyes, relax, and follow your breath in and out for a minute or two.

Now, see yourself as a seeker of answers, a seeker of wisdom, and your question is, “What do I need to do to find the most happiness in the year ahead?”

Then, for the next ten minutes, pretend that you have been given a window into an inner place of deep wisdom, because you will step outside of yourself and become the one who will provide the answers to that question. For the next ten minutes, you will adopt the role of a legendary, yet mysterious Master of Enchanted Wisdom!

You are now playing two roles. You will be there as an ardent seeker of wisdom, seated in front of the other you, the Master of Enchanted Wisdom. As the seeker, you expect the Master to reveal the guidance that you most need in order to find happiness in the year ahead. Have faith in the wisdom of the Master and it will be forthcoming.

Now, move fully into the other role. ACT AS IF you are now the Master of Enchanted Wisdom. Think over the question, put on your ‘wisdom hat,’ and start giving the advice which is expected of you by the seeker. Write it down as you think of it. This is important because in the role-play, you are going to a deeper level of awareness and it is too easy to forget your own words once you get back to regular awareness. Don’t let your words fade away into your background memory like a dream upon awakening. Write them down as fast as you can, never stopping to judge or critique. Just write.

Then, when the exercise is over and you have told the seeker all the advice that comes to mind, you’ll come back to being in your normal state of consciousness and be in a position to review what you wrote. More importantly, save your writing and review it three days later from a fresh perspective, when the details of the words have passed away from your immediate memory.

Evaluate your writing as if someone else had written it. Don’t make excuses like, “Well, I might have guessed that,” or downplay anything. Judge it fairly, without criticism or doubt, for what it is: The advice from someone different from your usual self, because that is exactly what it was. You were different from your usual self.

Three days from now, you’ll see those words in a new light and, provided you role-played the part as needed, you will be surprised at the amount of wisdom that came through.

Better yet, put those words away for a year, make yourself a diary entry to review them then, and you’ll be able to see, in retrospect, how good the advice was for finding happiness throughout that year.

Enlightenment Now – Part 5 – The Secret of Personal Magnetism

Posted by Admin on March 5, 2012

http://www.infinitebeing.com/now/now5.htm

Enlightenment Now

A 7-part course by Owen Waters

Part 5 – The Secret of Personal Magnetism

(Parts 1-4 can be found here)

Healthy relationships are critical to people’s happiness and yet, most people are not aware of the energetics of attraction. People of good heart are drawn to you primarily, not by some combination of your physical features, but by the personal magnetism that radiates from your heart.

When people open their hearts to unselfish, unconditional love, a whole new world of possibilities opens. This is heart-centered awareness. Rather than spending effort avoiding the selfishness of others, they spend time making sure that the way they choose to serve society is done in the best way possible. When people can trust others to treat each other with love and respect rather than as competitors, then everyone gains.

As heart-centered awareness grows and blooms within society, people’s primary focus will shift away from service to self and towards service to others. When it does, the world will transform out of all recognition.

But you don’t have to wait for all of society to catch up. In both your personal and professional dealings with people, you have a reputation, and it is fed by word-of-mouth recommendation. Build your reputation as someone who tends to give more than is expected of them, and you will find yourself becoming increasingly popular in both your business and personal lives. People respond to heartfelt action and, as they say, “What goes around comes around.”

Action and reaction are opposite and equal in all types of thought and action. Your heartfelt action, by automatic reaction, will create a heartfelt reality among you and the people who are attracted to your energy. When you operate mainly out of a heart-centered frequency, you will notice that people are attracted to you in all aspects of your life. Friends, lovers, professional associates, and everyone will be attracted to your magnetic personality.

Personal magnetism has been one of the great mysteries of life simply because, in the past, so few people have operated from that heart-centered frequency of awareness on a routine basis. However, it’s really no secret. It’s just one of those common-sense facts of life.

The secret of personal magnetism is that the more you unconditionally love people, the more they love you.

You don’t have to make a big deal out of it. You don’t have to stand there like some transmitter beacon, radiating huge amounts of heart energy. Perhaps top stage performers do, but you don’t. You can be very quiet about it and everyone will be quietly drawn to you. Everyone of a similar nature, that is. Everyone who appreciates kindness and a truly warm, genuine smile.

In other words, you’ll attract the very best of friends.

There’s nothing more attractive than a warm smile from a person who quietly radiates a sense of unconditional love for themselves and all others.

Enlightenment Now – Part 4 – How to Create a Better Life

Enlightenment Now

A 7-part course by Owen Waters

Part 4 – How to Create a Better Life

(Parts 1-3 can be found here)

You can create anything you want in your life. For a start, how about true happiness, vibrant wellness, and profound spiritual awakening? Anything that you desire and can imagine will manifest in your life provided you follow the rules of the Law of Creation:

Creation = Intention + Attention + Action

The Law of Creation itself looks simple enough but people often misinterpret it and meet with disappointment instead of the success that can so easily be theirs. The Law of Creation was powerful enough to create the universe, so you can be certain that it can also create any new conditions that you desire in your life.

Imagination is the greatest power in the universe because it creates everything. It is your God-given creative faculty. With it, you can reach your greatest potential and fill your life with an amazing sense of achievement.

People labor under the misapprehension that they are bound by circumstances. This is merely an appearance. The reality is that your creative faculty holds incredible power over your circumstances. Once you appreciate your inbuilt transformative ability, that power is yours to wield and your life will immediately change for the better.

Imagination gives you the power to engineer entire new realities that develop your life’s potential to the maximum. You should be free to achieve everything that you are capable of achieving. Using your imagination to create new realities is a solid feat of design engineering, not something vague in a realm of non-reality.

Circumstances can easily be changed by the creative power of imagination, applied with intent and energy so that a desired new reality materializes into existence. In order to express this creative capability, you need to attend to every part of the Law of Creation:

Creation = Intention + Attention + Action

Intention
After deciding upon a desired goal, you need to imagine what that goal will look like once it is made manifest. Imagine yourself experiencing the end result. Do not imagine the process that leads up to the end result as the universe will find the shortest route in its own way, just as water always finds its own particular route from the hills to lower ground.

Attention
Then, add the feeling part of the formula. This is the energy that gives life to the intention. This is where you feel the excitement of what it is like to be a part of that manifested goal. Imagine how it feels to experience that new reality. Catch the mood in order to fully immerse yourself in that new reality. To be in balance, the feeling part of this exercise should receive as much focus and energy as the creative-thought part. Energize the feelings that will come with your experience of the end result.

Action
Finally, there is the Action part of the formula. Even though the process of creation will facilitate the manifestation of your intention, you still have to take the series of actions that will lead to the manifestation of the desired goal. You are the physical agent through which the power of the new creation will transform your circumstances.

Making It All Work

The key to success is to allow your soul or superconscious mind to orchestrate the circumstances leading up to the manifestation of your desire. Helping behind the scenes is what the soul part of you does anyway. That part of you has an expanded view of your reality, of your possibilities, and it has complete communication with all other souls in existence. When you want something organized behind the scenes, your soul is the part of you that will achieve this with ease and elegance.

There is a gestation time in which you need to let go of the idea from your conscious mind and let things begin to be organized by your soul consciousness in the background. After inner gestation, ideas will begin to come to mind about possible ways to move toward your goal. These intuitive ideas will flash into your mind, often two or three times in one day so that your conscious mind gets the message.

Make sure that your desired goal has a practical way to come into manifestation. Most unsuccessful attempts at creating more financial abundance fail in this, the action stage. For example, if a person wanted extra income but did nothing to increase the value of their services, then they’ve blocked the way for its manifestation. There is no magic wand that will compel people to overpay another person.

A free market pays what a person is worth, so the answer to your finding more abundance is to manifest ways that make you worth more to other people. You can either expand your skills or use the skills you already possess to serve more people. Either way, use the process of creating a better reality to transform the dream into a reality.

Use the process of creating a better reality. Use the power of intention to create the desired effect, then get ready to watch the universe adapt to your new vision of who you are. Turn your visualization over to your soul consciousness to find the best path to success, and doors will open easily in your path towards improving your value to others.

How to Make Successful Decisions

Sometimes, along the path towards your goal, you find yourself faced with two or more possibilities and you have to choose one of them. How will you know what steps to take and when? Fortunately, you have an inner compass which always points in the right direction.

Every time you think of your desired new reality, ask yourself what course of action fills you with the most inner joy. What is the most exciting thing you could do now to bring you closer to that goal?

Inner joy comes from your soul and, when you detect more joy in the idea of taking Course of Action A rather than Course of Action B, then you have detected a stronger alignment with your soul awareness relating to Course of Action A.

The most joyful idea at any moment is the next step in your journey towards your self-made destiny.

Inner joy is the compass towards your heart’s desire.

Enlightenment Now – Part 3 – Long Live God!

Posted by Admin on February 21, 2012

(Parts 1 and 2 can be found here)

“God is dead. Long live God!”

It is a centuries-old European tradition that, when a King died, he was promptly replaced by his successor so that no vacuum of power came into existence. In the streets, the people heard both items of news at the same time, that the old king was dead and the new king had been crowned. They would then voice their support for the new king by shouting,

“The king is dead. Long live the king!”

In Part 2 of this course, we noted the fading away of the old image of God above us in the sky due to the growing awareness of the enormous size of the universe. After all, for the universe to be filled with the Creator’s omnipresent consciousness, the Creator has to be greater in size than the Creation.

It has taken time to let go of the general belief that we on Earth are the center of all Creation. Fortunately, while the old concept of God in the sky has faded away, the new concept of God within brings us so much closer to the Creator and all of Creation. It is therefore fair to say, “Long live the new, expanded concept of God!”

We are aspects of the one Creator, as are all things in existence. Better yet, as human beings, we are endowed with self-awareness, with the curiosity to learn new things, and also with one especially undervalued faculty – imagination.

The expression, “It’s only your imagination,” is one that belittles your greatest faculty. The true situation is revealed in another expression; “We were made in the image of God.” The word “image” here does not mean “looks like.” After all, it would be hard to envisage a Creator larger than its creation – the universe – having two arms and two legs. The word “image” really means that we were created in the imagination of the Creator.

Imagination is your one creative faculty.

It is imagination – the application of consciousness in a creative direction – which laid the plans for this entire universe. In Part 2 of this course, it was said that, for Creation to succeed, there had to be a way to separate original consciousness into two complementary aspects and then have them interact with each other.

Those two aspects were the principles of pure thought and pure feeling. As humans, this idea of thought separate from feeling can be difficult to grasp because, in our experience, thoughts and feelings are always intertwined. Step back, for a moment, from your human experience, move into the realm of the abstract, and look at the original Law of Creation:

Creation = Thought + Feeling + Action

Think of pure, original Thought as imagination, intellect or intention. Think of it as a concept similar to the plans that an architect makes for a great building.

Then, think of pure, original Feeling as the energy that preserves and protects life, or the energy that makes things grow. It is related to the human concept of attention, because ideas grow as they receive your attention.

In cosmic terms, pure thought is the force of expansion that makes the universe continue to grow. Pure feeling is the counter-balancing force of contraction that holds the speed of that expansion down to a controlled, pre-determined rate.

If you were to equate the Law of Creation to a human analogy, you could say that the Divine Father and the Divine Mother work in complementary action to create and preserve the universe. In the Christian tradition, these concepts are called the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit or Divine Mother aspect of Creation fills the universe with the divine love that holds the universe together and provides the energy for the growth of all forms of life.

Now, if someone tells you that love is in the air, now you can reply knowingly, “Yes, it is!” You just have to reach out and touch the love of that aspect of the Creator to know that you are made from love and that you are loved, now and for all time.

As humans, we have inherited the power to create. Granted, our field of influence is human-size instead of universe-size, but the principle remains the same.

In the human realm, the Law of Creation is best stated in this form:

Creation = Intention + Attention + Action

And that is the key to creating a better life!

Next week, we will discuss the keys to making this formula work successfully and effectively. Until then…
