How To See Through The Smoke And Mirrors

Christina Lavers – Waking up, for the average person, isn’t something that happens in a day or a moment. It is an ongoing process that often feels like a long multi-layered, winding road with an unclear destination. For many, dissatisfaction with the status quo is the catalyst that propels us to seek greener pastures. Wanting something more than the shallow illusions that dance on our television screens, we begin to pull our awareness away from the bread and circus on offer and look toward the fringes.

In the mainstream ‘they’ hold a lot of power. They tell us what’s what: everything from what is good and bad for us, and what we should aspire to, to how we should look, and what’s hot and what’s not.

mainstreamShifting our attention from the mainstream to the fringes can be both exciting and daunting. It’s not just a jungle out there; it’s a maze, a fun house, and a mad carnival where everything and anything can find a niche and an audience. To those who come to take a brief look, it can appear exactly as the mainstream tells us to perceive it: a madhouse rife with charlatans and trolls, praying on naivety and ignorance. However, for those who bother to explore a little more deeply certain patterns begin to emerge.

There are two key streams in the alternative worldview, the spiritual and the conspiracy and upon close examination it appears they two are inextricably linked. Continue reading

Maybe It’s Time To Stop Making Other People ‘God’

Inspire Me Today July 8 2013

Sometimes life doesn’t seem to make sense at all, especially when you are surrounded by the darkness of the unknown. Most often, the only sense comes through the healing and growth that you choose to experience.

There is a common thread to each painful life challenge. Each experience offers you the opportunity to see the precious gems hidden beneath the pain, to reconnect with God, and to re-awaken to your soul…the true essence of who you are.

Life’s challenges knock at your door. You cover your ears, so you don’t have to hear the persistant knocking, of cancer, of death, of addiction.

You cover your eyes, so you don’t have to see the pain, the struggle of those you love.

You cover your heart, so you don’t have to feel the agony of life slipping away.

And yet, no matter how hard you try to fight…babies die, cancer breathes one’s last breath, addictions colors life in shades of greys and blacks. No matter how hard you fight to not feel, your walls crash down…and you are seen shaking, stripped down, exposed, naked, vulnerable.

The choice is to run for cover…or stand in your moment.

If you run, you run for what seems an eternity, darting from pain, so it won’t ever, ever touch the wound that was never allowed to heal.

The Gravity Of Love . . .

Heyoka  June 5 2013

AlternativeTo follow the path of least resistance is not for cowards.

To follow the path of least resistance is to follow your excitement and do what you want, no matter the consequences. It is to honor your joy and that which makes you come alive.

Your excitement is the Gravity of Love. You are conceived, but not yet born. The Gravity of Love will bring you closer and closer to the Gateway of Your Self. The closer you get, the more you have to leave behind.

We live in a World of Vision. A world of ideas and concepts. What you leave behind is not your family, your home and your material belongings, but your ideas and concepts around them.

Whatever you leave behind will free up your energy to become more aware of what is happening right now, and to spend less time being concerned with what happened yesterday, or what will happen tomorrow.

There is no link between yesterday, today and tomorrow. The link you create is your storyline; your perception of linearity. You are alone both the cause and the effect of your existence; a self-contained entity, creating circumstances which directly reflect its content.
