We Can’t Change Others – Or Can We?

The Quantum Shift

It is said that we cannot change others, but what if we really could? Now, I’m not talking about trying to make someone change or even asking someone to change. I’m talking about influencing change through a very radical approach.

personThis Quantum Shift will give you the immediate power to transform virtually every one of your relationships, but first you must be open to the possibility that reality changes and morphs according to you and your thoughts, and you must also be willing to take this responsibility.

Granted, it appears that we all share a single universe and everyone is having the same experience of the world, but it is simply not so. The truth is, there are completely different and unique universes for each and every one of us. This means that the universe that you experience is Custom Made for you.

This also means that we don’t just see things differently – life is actually responding differently. Those differences are directly related to who we are and how we see ourselves, each other and the world. Indeed, there are billions of different realities going on right now.

Infinite versions

If we each live in our own personal universe, this means that everyone in your universe is specific to you, and if you shift, grow or evolve, those in your universe must change accordingly. This can be the toughest thing to comprehend, but when you really get it, you have uncovered an incredible power like no other.

So, perhaps you are wondering, if there are infinite versions of every person in existence, or more precisely, in your life, what determines which version shows up? The version of any one person that you experience is directly related to who you are – and based on your expectations, beliefs, emotions and even how you see that person. As you shift and change yourself, you immediately experience a different version of the same person.

Let’s look at the four ways in which we influence the reality of others Continue reading

Divine Trickster | January 23 2013

consciousnessFor many people it can be difficult to discern between what they really want for themselves and what they have been conditioned to believe that they want.

The marketplace bombards you with promises to attain a happy and fulfilling life, but what exactly does it mean to have a fulfilling life?

Buy this dress, drive this a car, be updated on the news, become a member, find your purpose, read your future, go back to past lives, eat this food, go on vacation, help the poor, save money, get insurance, watch this program, get a degree, change your looks, meet this person, go to this conference, get a job!

PUHHHH – there is so much to do, and there are so many people out there believing that they know what you want and need.

Why do we buy into all these things? Every time we get or do what we believe we want there is a sigh of relief, but how long does it last? A minute, a month, a year?

  • Do you want to help the poor, or do you want the good feeling you get when you do?
  • Do you want to read the newspaper, or do you want the good feeling you get when you are able to give the impression that you know what is going on in the world?
  • Do you want to get a degree, or do you want the good feeling you get when you have necessary knowledge to do what you want?
  • Do you want to pay for insurance, or do you want the good feeling you get when feel secure?
  • Do you want to work, or do you want the good feeling you get when you have an income?
  • Do you want a rich bank account, or do you want the good feeling you get when you are prepared for the bad times?
  • You true desire is to feel good, so why not turn it around and feel good first. There is nothing more powerful in creation than that. When you feel good all the things that you need to sustain that feeling will be drawn into your life.

You are a vibrational being. Your vibration is determined by which thoughts you give your attention. Energized thoughts create emotions and emotions create ‘a state of being’ and ‘a state of being’ creates your reality. Continue reading

It Takes Courage To Stay Tender And Sensitive In A Tough World

Inspire Me Today | January 13 2013

We are mistake-makers. It is part of being human. Every day, more accurately, every hour, we err. Whether in areas of judgment, precision, or skill…individuals forget to read an entire report, they overlook a deadline, or rush to the next task without first checking their calendar. In short, we are error-ridden folk. This we have in common.

The difference lies in how we handle our mistakes and how we respond to the transgressions of others. Do we write people off, cut them from our life (personally and professionally)? Or in the midst of the heat, do we look for some way to salvage the situation and thereby offer a lifeline to the offender?

As people prone to creating tangled webs of problems (intentionally or not) we have a decision to make. On this barely subconscious level, each person decides whether to offer someone the benefit of the doubt or not. In short mental steps of succession, we’ve already judged and juried another’s transgression or we’ve offered forgiveness.

Depending upon the person who’s harmed us (or our project, objective, feelings or ego), we decide. How we determine to lend some measure of compassion or grace is generally a multifactor proposition. Did we enjoy a good breakfast? Have that second cup of coffee? Was the ride to work uneventful? Did our inbox contain the messages we anticipated? Or none of the above?

Seems petty, doesn’t it? Too often we further compound one mistake by meting out added layers of punishment simply to make a point. People generally feel bad enough after making a problematic issue larger. On a practical scope, dredging up an individual’s shortcomings does nothing to solve the problem. It’s just that it comes so “naturally” to be critical of another’s failings and we’re so good at blaming.

An Old Goody To Remember Who You Really Are

Max Ehrmann | 1920s
Not “Found in Old St. Paul’s Church”!

Desiderata

DesiderataGo placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.
