“Doing your best is taking the action because you love it, not because you’re expecting a reward. Most people do the exact opposite: They only take action when they expect a reward, and they don’t enjoy the action. And that’s the reason why they don’t do their best.” Don Miguel Ruiz

Recently came across this bit of wisdom that may be of help to those who get apprehensive @ being able to participate in conversations.

“We Indians know about silence. We are not afraid of it. In fact, for us, silence is more powerful than words. Our elders were trained in the ways of silence, and they handed over this knowledge to us. Observe, listen, and then act, they would tell us. That was the manner of living.
With you, it is just the opposite. You learn by talking. You reward the children that talk the most at school. In your parties, you all try to talk at the same time. In your work, you are always having meetings in which everybody interrupts everybody and all talk five, ten or a hundred times. And you call that ‘solving a problem’. When you are in a room and there is silence, you get nervous. You must fill the space with sounds. So you talk compulsorily, even before you know what you are going to say.
White people love to discuss. They don’t even allow the other person to finish a sentence. They always interrupt. For us Indians, this looks like bad manners or even stupidity. If you start talking, I’m not going to interrupt you. I will listen. Maybe I’ll stop listening if I don’t like what you are saying, but I won’t interrupt you.
When you finish speaking, I’ll make up my mind about what you said, but I will not tell you I don’t agree unless it is important. Otherwise, I’ll just keep quiet and I’ll go away. You have told me all I need to know. There is no more to be said. But this is not enough for the majority of white people.
People should regard their words as seeds. They should sow them, and then allow them to grow in silence. Our elders taught us that the earth is always talking to us, but we should keep silent in order to hear her.
There are many voices besides ours. Many voices…”

This came across my desk this AM and seems like a nice, clear statement that we all need to keep in awareness:

7 things that affect your vibration frequency from the point of view of quantum physics.
Vibration in quantum physics means everything is energy. We are vibrant beings on certain frequencies. Every vibration is equivalent to a feeling and in the world “Vibrational”, there are only two species of vibrations, positive and negative. Any feeling makes you broadcast a vibration that can be positive or negative.
1ST – * thoughts *
Every thought emits a frequency to the universe and this frequency goes back to origin, so in the case, if you have negative thoughts, discouragement, sadness, anger, fear, all this comes back to you. This is why it is so important that you take care of the quality of your thoughts and learn how to cultivate more positive thoughts.
2TH – * the companies *
The people around you directly influence your vibration frequency. If you surround yourself with happy, positive and determined people, you will also enter this vibration. Now, if you surround yourself with people complaining, gossiping and pessimist, be careful! Indeed, they can reduce your frequency and therefore prevent you from using the law of attraction in your favor.
3TH – * the music *
Music is very powerful. If you only listen to music that talks about death, betrayal, sadness, abandonment, all this will interfere with what you are feeling. Pay attention to the lyrics of the music you listen to, it could reduce your vibration frequency. And Remember: you attract exactly what you feel in your life.
4TH – * the things you look at *
When you look at programs that deal with misfortunes, dead, betrayals, etc. Your brain accepts this as a reality and releases a whole chemistry into your body, which affects your vibration frequency. Look at things that do you feel good and helps you vibrate at a higher frequency.
5TH – * the atmosphere *
Whether it’s at home or at work, if you spend a lot of time in a messy and dirty environment, it will also affect your vibration frequency. Improve what surrounds you, organize and clean your environment. Show the universe that you are fit to receive much more. Take care of what you already have!
6TH – * THE WORD *
If you claim or speak wrong about things and people, it affects your vibration frequency. To keep your frequency high, it is essential to eliminate the habit of complaining and bad talking about others. So avoid drama and bullying. Assume your responsibility for the choices of your life!
7TH – * GRATITUDE *
Gratitude positively affects your vibration frequency. This is a habit you should integrate now into your life. Start to thank for everything, for the good things and what you consider to be bad, thank you for all the experiences you’ve experienced. Gratitude opens the door for good things to happen positively in your life.

This came across my desk this morning and bears sharing. We have talked constantly about the importance of accepting responsibility for our own thoughts, feelings and actions. Perhaps this will add some clarity.

“This is a letter to all those who are having relationship challenges. Those can be, in a job, with friends, with a partner, or with your parents. Having been married to my wonderful husband for 46 years I have discovered a few things. My husband and I are completely different. If he likes a TV program I usually don’t. We cannot pack a car together. We cook our own meals because we don’t like the same foods. I enjoy gardening, reading, spirituality, and learning new things. He enjoys; trains, model airplanes, fixing things, and organizing. When we were first married, I cleaned the kitchen. He came in and re-cleaned it. Instead of getting mad, I just gave him the job for 46 years. Although we both speak our needs we do not argue. Most the time it is a compromise. This very morning I said to him,” This plant can’t take sunlight. Please don’t open the curtains. It will die.” His response was, “I like to look out the windows. Can you please move the plant.” I did.
The next statements are so important that I am going to put them in cabs. DO NOT EXPECT THE OTHER PERSON TO CHANGE – IT IS NOT THEIR JOB TO MAKE YOU FEEL LOVED – THEY ARE NOT CAUSING YOUR EMOTIONAL PROBLEMS – DON’T ASSUME THEY KNOW WHAT YOU ARE FEELING.”
Your triggers and highly charged emotions are coming from your childhood, your young adult years, or are generational beliefs and patterns. When I talk to most people in a relationship crisis, they start out with blaming the other person. It is not about them; it IS about YOU.
When I was younger, if I felt hurt, I would go in the bedroom, leave the door open, and sob very loudly. I was thinking if they hear me crying, they will do what I want. My three-year-old did this. I had never broken the pattern. Other manipulations I would use; I just want to die, I am going to leave, you don’t love me. and you make me feel. As I began to grow, I remembered that what I focus on becomes my reality. If I have old patterns of not being listened to then those around me will not listen to me. etc. My thoughts, words, and beliefs are my reality.
I also realized that the only person that could change my life was me. Last but not least, if you hold anger/blame towards any other person, you will not heal. If you believe the problems are outside of yourself, they will keep repeating over and over.
When I began to love myself and understand that I was not perfect and forgive myself for being human, the people around me began to treat me differently.
HEAL YOURSELF FIRST !!!!!!!!!
Every morning, I look at the 3 year old me and say,” I love you, I will protect you today, you are amazing and special. If you want anything today please let me know gently.”

There are many ways to use words to express the same thing. This essay resonates so much with the work we do here. Take a look and see it the words serve as a connection between you and the wisdom you seek.

Death Doesn’t Exist And May Just Be An Illusion, According To Quantum Physics

Albert Einstein once said “Now Besso has departed from this strange world a little ahead of me. That means nothing. People like us … know that the distinction between past, present, and future is only a stubbornly persistent illusion,” speaking of his friend that passed. He was alluding to the idea that death is just an illusion.

One of the biggest existential questions haunting the mind of scientists and the average person alike since the beginning of time is what happens after death. Over time as technology evolves so have our answers. There is still an infinite number of possible answers but one of the latest studies says it’s because death doesn’t exist.

According to Robert Lanza, M.D, death is actually a door to an endless number of universes. That means that just as you live your life right now, another version of you lives its life and makes different decisions that alter its outcome. So whatever regret you have in this life or opportunity you long for, it’s likely happening in some universe.
Lanza asserts that anything that possibly can happen is happening in some universe. Every single possible outcome plays out in one of the endless universes. For that reason, he concludes that death can’t exist in these scenarios since they’re all happening at the same time. If your brain hurts, bare with us.

As it turns out, the only reason we associate our consciousness, so the awareness that we exist, with our physical body, is because of the energy working in our brains. This energy lets us know we’re alive.
We believe in death because we’ve been taught we die. Our association with our body is so strong that when we “die’ we assume that both our body and consciousness also shut off. Yet biocentrism, a new theory of everything, is suggesting that death is not the end like we think. We have the power to change our brain circuits with new associations, like learning that fire is hot by touching it. This shows that what we see would not be perceived without our consciousness.

Biocentrism believes that life and consciousness are both fundamental to the ways of the universe. Lanza also adds that it’s consciousness that creates the material universe, not the other way around. That means that it’s us who have the power to create our own realities.
Think of the power of perception. There is the truth and there is our interpretation of it depending on the way we experience it, which varies from person to person and brain to brain. Everything you see and experience right now‚ including the words you’re reading is information translated in your mind. Some concepts like time and space can’t be grasped with perception.

Think of air, you know it’s all around you but if you clench your fist to grab unto it what do find when you open your hand? Nothing. This is an example of how something can exist without having a tangible body presence.
Lanza believes that when we die, we experience a break in the string that binds the mind and body together as one. The mind and body connection which is intertwined in each of the universes breaks and allows for consciousness to flow and join a collective space. Once this takes place, we also experience a break from our connection of times and places.

In a conversation with Huffington Post, Lanza explained that space and time are just tools that our minds use to make sense of our experience, like a language for consciousness.
“Everything that can possibly happen occurs in some universe. Death doesn’t exist in these scenarios since all of them exist simultaneously regardless of what happens in any of them. The “me” feeling is just energy operating in the brain. But energy never dies; it cannot be destroyed.” Every single possible scenario to live is played out somewhere, at some point.

If you’re still having a hard time grasping this concept, Lanza invites you to think of his idea of death as finishing a good TV series. You can experience different stories, different characters, and different endings from all around the director’s table, and just like with all the different versions in the universe, at the end of each plotline, it’s still you.
In a way, your story is always unfinished because somewhere out there another version of you is playing out a different story. After all death, just like our consciousness, is just energy, and energy can’t be created or destroyed, this is a law of physics.

If you want to read more about this to make sense of it, Lanza wrote a whole book about it entitled, “Biocentrism: How Life and Consciousness are the Keys to Understanding the Nature of the Universe.“ Naturally, it has been received with some controversy.
However, Lanza’s findings raise an important conversation about life and death and could be the missing puzzle pieces to some of science’s most complicated puzzles. This theory suggests that space and time, including death and matter itself, are just a perception or an illusion that depends on the observer.

If we chose to believe this theory it could actually bring us a lot of f freedom and power over ourselves and our lives. It would mean that the laws, forces, and constants of the universe are malleable. We could create the kind of life we desire most by making the decisions that serve us best in endless options.
We would also have nothing to lose since the fear of death would disappear and we would instead accept a timeless and spaceless world where we’re all connected in some way to each other, and ourselves across past, present, and future.

Energy can’t be created nor destroyed which means that the only time that matters is the present since there is technically no past nor future. How this impacts death is still uncertain but it still should encourage you to remain in a state of mindful flow.
Let go of the past, live in the present, and stop always waiting for the next moment. Are you still searching for your life purpose? You won’t believe what the science of Numerology can reveal about you!
The numerology of your birth date, regardless of what month you were born, can reveal surprising information about your personality.

We often reference a behavior that we refer to as “Witnessing.” The Intent of this behavior is to observe, as fully as possible and without any sort of prejudice, all that is happening in your field of conscious awareness. To do this, it is imperative that we remove our focus away from self and apply it with total objectivity. This mandates application of several of the key teaching we repeat over and over.
1. Relinquish self-importance. Be like the air or like water, just there but with no defining, differential characteristic. Just there, being receptive.
2. Take nothing personally. As soon as you make it about you, even in the slightest ways, you are now creating rather than observing.
3. Make no assumptions. Any assumptions are based on your prejudices and beliefs. You cloud the potential clarity of pure witnessing when you assume.
4. Resist the temptation to figure it out. This is a big one as we so easily convince ourselves that the reason for witnessing is so that we can come to KNOW. Ahhh, and it is–but not by mental gymnastics.
5. Trust in yourself and trust in Spirit. Trust that both are One. Trust that if you let go of controlling, manipulating, and imposing a false persona, you will be left with that which is pure. You will be hard pressed to interpret or put into words, that which you Witness but, you may actually experience SEEING and you may actually come away with Knowledge.

Later on, we’ll spend some time looking at how the power of Witnessing can be reconciled with you conditioned, human aspect.
