Joseph Drumheller – Joy, happiness, excitement, passion, purpose, meaning, peace, contentment, fulfillment, abundance, freedom, etc. How many of us get to experience these words, let alone live them out on a daily basis? Not nearly enough.
The adventure we’re about to embark on will lead into the realm of these words. It’s the sole reason for taking up a spiritual path: to increase the quality of life. Try to keep that in mind. Continue reading
One way of knowing that you have found your true purpose in life is that you no longer wish to be in any place other than right where you are.
Guy Finley – As you come to own yourself, which is the sole purpose of this life, it becomes impossible to ever think or feel that you are owned by anything or anyone else. This is the only true strength.
It is an ironclad guarantee that this understanding, coupled with persistent self-observation, will gradually reveal to you that the false self, your lower nature, is nothing more than a shadow that can throw its voice. Its main job is to see that your troubles always appear to be everything and everywhere except what and where they really are. The only thing special about the false self is its wide range of special effects. Continue reading
There are two major effects of overall mind control.
The first is the distracting and confusing of thought processes.
This is defeated and kept at bay by logic, a discipline employed by Plato 2400 years ago and refined by his student, Aristotle.
Today, logic needs to be expanded and updated to deal with the flood of information and misinformation we encounter every day.
The second overall effect of mind control is the repression of the individual’s creative impulse. Creation and imagination are, of course, the energies that bring about the invention of new realities.
All forms of mind control target the individual so that he passively accepts the reality presented to him.

That liberation should be the goal of any sane teaching.
It is the goal of my collection, Power Outside the Matrix.
Expanding one’s own power involves the conscious projection of new realities. Continue reading
“Power built on illusion is illusion. So, when our sense of power comes from illusion, eventually it must crumble. ” – N Ellis
Life is going great. You are on top of the world. Things couldn’t be better! Then BOOM! You get sick, have an accident or some unexpected crisis comes to the forefront, bringing the “good times” come to a screeching halt. It makes no sense – you were doing everything right.
These events can leave us feeling insecure and doubting our ability to maintain a happy and healthy life. You might even start wondering if every great high has a corresponding low. Trying to make sense of things in this way often takes us on a negative downward spiral that gets us more of what we don’t want.
So, let’s rise above the negative and turn it all around.
Understanding the five primary reasons why “bad things happen at good times” will allow you to leverage the challenges, in order to reach even higher highs that can be maintained and lived.
When you go to the movie theater, there is a projector in the back of the theater that projects the movie onto the front screen. Have you ever considered that there is a time gap between the movie leaving the projector and landing on the screen? Life operates in very much the same way. There is a time gap between the energy that you project out into the world, with your thoughts, beliefs and feelings, and the manifestation of that energy in your life. What you are experiencing now is always a reflection of who you were in the past. So, even if you have changed your belief system in regards to a life issue, it takes a little while for life to catch up with your new belief system. Yes, it is possible to experience quick shifts in reality but the old story often plays out until it is complete. Continue reading
