Inspiration From Kristopher Raphael

• Today's the last day in Redondo Beach. Tomorrow it is up the California coast to Big Sur, Carmel and Monterey. Then off to see the redwoods. #
• Flowing your desires is the process of allowing your infinitely powerful Source Energy to collapse time and bring them manifest now. #
• Yesterday communed with the majestic Redwoods on the beautiful Northern California Coast. Today it is up to Portland, Oregon. #
• To the degree you own that you create your reality, you are empowered to create an even better one. #

Living Your Dreams

There is a question that if you sincerely ask, and honestly answer yourself, will propel you onto to personal growth and spiritual faster than you can imagine. It will also powerfully activate The Law of Attraction. It is a question you should ask yourself every day. It is a question you should ask whenever you have a life challenge. Ask it and you will find that you already have the solution to any of life’s problems. Best of all, you will empower yourself to create the life of your dreams.

Before I give you the question, let me ask you a couple of other questions. When you dream at night, who is dreaming? Who creates your dreams? The answer is, of course, you do. You, or an aspect of the bigger self that you are creates your dreams, and you dream them.

Along the same lines, who creates your life? Who lives your life? The answer is the same. You do. You create your life and you are the person living it, no one else. When you are ready and willing to accept this truth, your entire life dramatically changes.

This first thing that changes is that suddenly you are empowered. If you are creating your life, life no longer happens to you. You make it happen. Perhaps you are not happy with everything in your life now. Knowing you are creating even those things you are not happy with, gives you the power to change what you create, and create something you will be happy with. After all, if life just happens to you, how can you change it? You can only change it if you create it. And, you do.

The second thing that happens when you realize that, just as you create your dreams you create your life, is you take responsibility for what you are creating. So often, people blame their life on other people, on circumstances out of their control. As soon as you do this, you have just given away your power to create the life you desire.

Blame is always self-destructive as is the anger that comes out of blame. In its extreme form, blame turns to rebellion which always harms self. Many people have more or less ruined their lives by blaming their parents and going into rebellion. They then project the blame onto bigger authorities such as society and/or government and ultimately end up dropping out of life and dis-empowering themselves.

This does not mean that you should not strive to improve the world you live in. You should. And, the best way to do this is to honor self and take responsibility for the world you are creating.

The third thing that happens is, because you are taking responsibility for the life you are creating, and because you are empowering yourself to more powerfully create that life, you begin to create the life of your dreams – a life full of love, abundance, well-being, with your deepest desires fulfilled.

So what is the most important question you must ask yourself every day? It is this. Ask yourself “Why am I creating this?” If you ask yourself this question, and honestly look at self, you will know. You will not only know why you are creating the situation or attracting the person or that kind of relationship, you will know what it is you need to shift in self to attract something better. You will have just empowered yourself to create the life of your dreams.

What is wrong with its seeking the pleasant and shirking the unpleasant? Between the banks of pain and pleasure the river of life flows. It is only when the mind refuses to flow with life, and gets stuck at the banks, that it becomes a problem. By flowing with life I mean acceptance — letting come what comes and go what goes. Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj, I Am That

Aikido - In The Flow

If you push someone what happens? Chances are they will push back. If you grab someone’s hand and pull them, what happens? They pull away from you. If someone is needy and is grasping at you for your love and attention, what do you do? Most people pull away. Grasping at something you want can actually stop you from having it. Repelling something you don’t want, can make it push at you even harder.

People grasp and repel in many arenas in life. They grasp at things they want. They grasp at receiving pleasure. They repel people and things they don’t like. What they don’t realize is that the constant grasping and repelling, not only creates the outcome they don’t want, but puts them in a lot of stress and drains their energy.

In personal development, grasping and repelling will stop you in your tracks. You can’ heal something you avoid looking at. If you avoid and deny that you have an alcohol problem, for example, the problem will persist, or get worse. It is only through shining the transformative light of awareness on something that it can heal and be integrated.

If you wish to manifest your hopes, dreams and desires and activate the Law of Attraction, the best state to do this in is being in the flow of life. You must allow what you desire to be, not grasp at it. Grasping at something implies that you don’t have it. If you don’t energetically have it first, you won’t have it in form.

When you allow both the good and the bad without grasping and repelling, you enter into the the powerful flow of the now moment that flows through self and all of life. You naturally move into a state of well being that is more aligned with your desires manifest, activating the Law of Attraction.

There is a powerful Japanese martial art form called Aikido. Ai means harmony. Ki means spirit. Do means ‘the way of’ or ‘the road to’. In other words, Aikido means ‘the way of harmonized spirit’. The key difference between Aikido and other martial arts is that you don’t repel or block a person attacking you, you flow with punch or kick, using the energy of their momentum for yourself.

Do this in your life and you will have more energy to manifest what you wish to manifest. Instead of resisting things you don’t like and pushing them away, simply allow them to flow through you and dissapate. This puts you in the universal flow of life as you move into living in the now moment.

Be aware of where you are grasping at things in life. Imagine having your desires manifest. Grow the sensation of your desires manifest in your inner world. Do this without grasping at them and you allow them to move from being to having. Grasping prevents the having. For example, if you wish more abundance in your life, imagine yourself being abundant. Imagine what you will buy, what you will do, and most importantly how good you will feel with your abundance. If you are grasping at it, it means you don’t yet have it. Let the grasping go and have it in your inner world (your thoughts, feelings and imagination). As you do this you open the door to having it in your outer world as well.

Living in the Flow has other advantages. One obvious one is that when you are not repelling or grasping at things in life, you have more energy, and less stress. You are more relaxed and because of this are able to get more done in less time. One can only surmise that living a relaxed, stress free life with more energy would be better for your health and longevity.

Want to increase your well-being and more powerfully activate the Law of Attraction in your life? Be aware of where you grasp and repel in your life. Consciously let the grasping and repelling go. Allow whatever is to be. As you do so, you begin to live in the Flow where all good things reside.

If You Don’t Make The Choice, The Choice Makes You

Who will you feed?

The above is a great line from the Movie Ghost Rider. One of the beautiful things about living in the Flow, is that you become aware that, at any given now moment you have a choice. You can choose who you wish to be. The now moment contains all there is. If you wish abundance, you can always find it somewhere in the now moment. If you wish to feel enthusiasm and excitement about life, you can always find it in the now moment. Living life on purpose, with intention, means consistantly choose who and what you are in any moment or in any given situation. The more you choose who you wish to be, the more you are empowered to be just that. As the line from the Ghost riders says, you have the power to choose Who and What you wish to be. Yes, it can take practise because so many of us have been conditioned not to choose. When we don’t choose, life happens to us.

Now choosing to be Who you wish to be doesn’t mean that you grasp at it. Nor does it mean that you repel what you don’t want to be. Grasping and repelling are one of the biggest stoppers in life. They keep you out of the flow, blocking off the natural support that life give’s you. One of our students, for example, has always felt like she is a victim. She doesn’t like feeling that way, so she repels it and tries to push the feeling away from her. If instead, she simply chooses to be an empowered woman in any given moment, empowerment will flow into her life. There is no need to repel the victim energy. The victim energy will have no place to be as she is already filled with the energy of empowerment.

If you wish more abundance in your life, be abundant. Don’t grasp at it. What happens if you grab a person by their arm and begin to pull at them? They naturally pull back. The same is true with the Universe. If you are pulling on the Universe’s arm for money, the Universe will naturally pull back. It matches your pulling with pulling. This is another aspect of The Law of Attraction. If you pull at something, it pulls back. If you push something away, it pushes back. If instead you choose to welcome abundanc e into your life, abundance welcomes you.

We all have parts of self we like, and parts of self we don’t like. Instead of focusing on those parts of self you don’t like, and trying to push them away, focus on those parts of self you do like and feed them. Vickie Smith gives a wonderful story illustrating just this.

Grandfather said to the boy, “Let me tell you a story. It is as if there are two wolves inside me, one is white and one is black. The White Wolf is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. But will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.

“But, the Black Wolf, is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing.

“Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit.”

The boy, looked intently into his Grandfather’s eyes, and asked, “Which one wins Grandfather?”

The Grandfather, smiled and said, “The one I feed.”

Who will you choose to feed? Consistently choose Who you wish to be and before you know it your life will be an extension of what you choose.
