			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong style="font-size: 1.5em;">If You Don&#8217;t Make The Choice, The Choice Makes You</strong></p>
<div id="attachment_418" class="wp-caption alignleft" style="width: 210px"><a href="http://kristopher-raphael.com/wp-content/uploads/gray_wolf.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-418" title="gray_wolf" src="http://kristopher-raphael.com/wp-content/uploads/gray_wolf-200x300.jpg" alt="Who will you feed?" width="200" height="300" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Who will you feed?</p></div>
<p>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&#8217;t choose, life happens to us.</p>
<p>Now choosing to be Who you wish to be doesn&#8217;t mean that you grasp at it. Nor does it mean that you repel what you don&#8217;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&#8217;s you. One of our students, for example, has always felt like she is a victim. She doesn&#8217;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.</p>
<p>If you wish more abundance in your life, be abundant. Don&#8217;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&#8217;s arm for money, the Universe will naturally pull back. It matches your pulling with pulling. This is another aspect of <a href="http://golden-flow-system.com" target="_blank">The Law of Attraction</a>. 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.</p>
<p>We all have parts of self we like, and parts of self we don&#8217;t like. Instead of focusing on those parts of self you don&#8217;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.</p>
<blockquote><p><cite title="Who Do You Feed">Grandfather said to the boy, &#8220;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.</cite></p>
<p>&#8220;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.</p>
<p>&#8220;Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit.&#8221;</p>
<p>The boy, looked intently into his Grandfather&#8217;s eyes, and asked, &#8220;Which one wins Grandfather?&#8221;</p>
<p>The Grandfather, smiled and said, &#8220;The one I feed.&#8221;</p>
</blockquote>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A spiritual path is not meant to be a struggle. It is the most<br />
 difficult thing you will ever do, but it need not be a struggle. If<br />
 you are struggling, it simply means you are choosing to align to old<br />
 patterns, old fragments, old personalities, instead of aligning to<br />
 your Authentic Self.</p>
<p>Many people get discouraged and tired of struggling. Stop struggling.<br />
 Instead, shift to what is real in self and embrace what is in front of<br />
 you. Every morning, when you wake up stop – stop and go deep. Don&#8217;t<br />
 jump up and rush around trying to get ready for your day. Stop and<br />
 move into what is important in your life. Move deep into your bigger<br />
 hopes, dreams and desires. If you have a sense of your Life Purpose,<br />
 find the sensation of that. Feel the bigger picture of your life. Feel<br />
 the significance of your life. Intend your day from your depth.</p>
<p>When you do this, life will bring you challenges. But the challenges<br />
 need not be struggles. They are simply opportunities to grow,<br />
 strengthen and develop self. Life is your playing field. Use the<br />
 playing field to improve your game.</p>
<p>If you find yourself struggling with the same old patterns, it means<br />
 you are in motion, but not movement. It means you are choosing to<br />
 attach to the old self, instead of embracing the new Authentic you.<br />
 Stop struggling and embrace the new. Embrace the challenges the new<br />
 brings you. Old struggles are boring, and discouraging. New challenges<br />
 are invigorating and exciting.</p>
<p>A Spiritual Warrior embraces his or her day with excitement and<br />
 positive anticipation about what opportunities life will bring them<br />
 that day. Embrace change and transformation. Leave the struggle of the<br />
 old behind. Welcome the new into your life.</p>
<p>Do this and your old struggles will soon become a distant memory.</p>
<p>Love and Light,</p>
<p>Kristopher<br />
