In my book, The Teachings of Soke Draconis, Vol. I, I explain how one of the main lessons that Soke Draconis always taught me was not to live only inside my head but rather to move my ability to create to the outside and change things around so that there is congruency. With the inner and outer world working together, there are peace and harmony that bring about a beautiful tranquility. The serenity of life is the prize possession of feeling the beauty you can create and the relaxing calmness of your incredible passion. When others perceive your projection into the environment, they feel and see your spirit cry out and express its beauty in the way that it organizes its life and the presentation of yourself.
The cognitive dissonance of saying one thing but believing otherwise displays itself in the misalignment between your words to others and the direction of your actions. In fact, with people who lack integrity, words are vain and deceptive most of the time. So it is far more truthful to watch the actions of another, and there you will see the misalignment they are dealing with inside. In truth, one of the most powerful lessons that came to me during my Initiation was this realization - you cannot talk your way out of what you have experienced your way into. It is like catching someone in the act of a wrongdoing and then listening to them try to lie their way out of it. When you act in such a way that others see your misalignment it lowers your value to others and lowers your own level of self-respect. The price you pay for misalignment is too great of a debt. We all need integrity in a world where so many use deceit and take no responsibility for their actions.
Incoherency at the code level creates a distorted reality that is not in line with intent. It is like attempting to go in 2 or more directions at the same time.
If you accept the idea that reality is a construct of organized information stemming from infinite potential. As a human, when intending something to occur, if you are not in full alignment with your intention you will get haphazard results. In other words a house divided against itself will fall.
Many people have contrary beliefs that will work against an intention. One must be fully coherent for optimal creation.
Some suggest that the body is a direct reflection of the subconscious mind. It makes sense when we see that all the body functions are run from this level of mind.
My problem is that right now in my life, the negativity has taken over. I was always that person you describe who was happy and looking forward to life and found joy and humor in everything. I was always just a naturally happy person. I don't know how to get back there.
I just don't know what to do about it at the moment. Just wanted to tell you that your posts are very nice and so pleasant to read. I will be reading more of them.
The happiest person I've ever known, as in consistently and genuinely, had this to say when I asked him how, why he was such a happy guy, "I get up every morning and I take care of me, you know - wash my face, brush my teeth and comb my hair and have some food that's good for me, and then I take 5 minutes and I feel totally and completely
sorry for me."
I looked up in surprise at the seeming incongruity. I had not ever thought of him as capable of being self-pitying. He went on to say, "I give it 5 minutes, no more and no less, and then move on rather than spreading it all through my day. Self-pity is self-soothing, but only for a moment. Too much becomes crippling, so I feel my emotions completely, giving myself permission to have them - feel them out all the way and then let them go - and then I look for the joy" ...
It's a wonderful thing to have that kind of control. I think that's control.
In one of your comments you mentioned something about your outside and your mood is a direct reflection of whats going on inside your body. I believe that to be true. I had back surgery almost 2 years ago, took about a year to recover. I also have this rash thing on my toes, been to 3 doctors and they don't know what it is. I've been using colloidal silver which is taking care of it nicely. I'll find out the results of the blood work this week. Finding out about colloidal silver is what brought me to this site. Great site.
Anyway, I realized the other day that my back recovered, but my head was still in bed thinking I'm sick. I realized that I need to stop thinking of myself as a sick person, cause I'm really not a sick person. I haven't been out of the house in a few weeks other then to go the doctor cause shoes are tough on the toes right now. Silly I guess. Answering my own questions I think. Tomorrow I'm going to get out of this nightgown and get dressed at least.
Thanks for writing back, I'll keep reading the wonderful stuff here and help myself to snap out of this.
the only people I have ever heard of that can thrive on that scenario are those rare individuals who meditate daily (a lot) and have all but given up the illusion of "this" body.
It may be a simple thing like moving the lymph and getting vit. D that your body makes (via the sun)
and bringing oxygen into the body that solves all the problems that seem to be such a wall.
How do I move my lymph? I do get sun, I go outside in the yard, just haven't gone anywhere because hurts to put on shoes and it's been too cold and rainy to wear sandals.
Also, I made a new batch of CS earlier, apparently I wasn't making it strong enough, I drank some and I feel a lot better already, physically and mentally. I will see how I feel in the morning, hopefully good enough to get myself to the store.
Dear Soul, get one of those skin-brushing
Brushes from the pharmacy; the most natural
and lovely you can find/afford; (why?
You are worth it) and start brushing
your skin every AM, before a shower
or a bath. With love. Or, without
a shower...Up from each foot...
In, from each hand, and finger...
Toward the heart. Gently. Loving
the miracle of this vessel of You.
Even better, if you can, is to breathe deeply,
to breathe in golden and sky blue
healing light, while you skin brush.
(Before a window)Trusting that the colours
go where they need to, to balance
all systems within. -- This is very "lymphatic",
it seems to me...
But I don't actually live with all these
blessings, that is, the physical, ( e.g.
have no bathroom window at this time,
but to have a bath full of water is sublime)
so, I envision them. Others.
( Look up the concept of "breathing
from another place, too. It will be
the essence of the near future, I intuit.
And I've already felt it work –I t works!!!)
What I most want to say is, everyone
can conduct the simple: and in the envisioning,
there is a gigantic blessing that reverberates
to others
and makes circles upon circles;
it sounds like such nonsense; and the big
machine wants us to give up the idea
that simple things are the love
that connects us: I think we so often
forget this: that what we do/think/pray/
simply do, with the simplest actions
and attention and the wish that it
be good extend-
really does/ can/ affects the world.
We’ve been trained so subtly
( to lose hope in one being
making a difference; especially
when that one being is not
altogether "well".)
There is lots of this (skin-brushing)
online, for your perusal,
And I truly think everyone needs
to read and ground themselves
in it... For it to be of benefit
(to them).
It makes a huge difference
... like spring to the one
who's been heart-sick.
sounds like he has the makings of a really good marketer, or genius copywriter...and best to him. Trouble is, it seems almost like a trap itself, (a velvet cage of self-revelation), a really good opening line... Something "do-able", that is, and -yet- I think people feel the call of what is "not do-able". They are beginning to believe in breaking the box entirely.
That is an interesting construct that person has built, but it strikes me as an artificial construct and somehow incongruous to find happiness by incorporating feeling sorry for ones self on a regular and alloted daily time frame.
Limiting how much you feel sorry for yourself, surely, but making it part of a daily ritual? That would assume a daily need, or at least a daily benefit, from feeling sorry for yourself. It might work for some, but surely not everyone needs a daily bitter pill in order to enjoy the sweetness of life.
Maybe the "EVERY day" was not his point, but he recognized his emotions as being important enough to acknowledge. Allowing time for being "where you're at when you're there" thoroughly was the real lesson in it for me. Most folks either distance themselves from self-pity or are immersed in the bitter morass continuously. I was blown away by his happy, happy - enough to ask how and even more amazed by his answer. We were 23 years young. I had a chance to use this process this morning - woke up in a new place after moving from my home of 6 years, had a meltdown, cried and grieved at 8:30 and did not fight the fact of my emotional state, so could then let it go and move forward by 10 a.m. We spend a lot of energy trying to deny our energy, and for some of us the result is physical malady and then we end up here .....
( nice to chat with you - been reading your great energy for about 3 years! )
Yes, I can quite agree with an "as needed" approach to addressing one's regrets and then moving on and counting blessings and so forth. Goodness knows, I could look back on almost six decades of woulda, coulda, shoulda and bad luck and all kinds of regrets about what could have been to the point of dweling endlessly in that bottomless pit. Instead, I choose to say "spilt milk" and "lessons learned", look at what I am proud of and look forward to all the good that I can still accomplish as well as the joy life still holds in store for me.
Sometimes spending a bit of time on the pity potty can help flush away a lot of negatives. Sometimes maybe even a good ol' crying and feeling sorry jag that lasts a long time. So long as such things are "sometimes" and not a regular routine and so long as you DO move on. In the end, I see a purpose in life. So, if I am alive, there must be a purpose. Discovering what that is and how to best accomplish it - now there is a life's work for you!
