Enlightenment is the Mount Everest in human consciousness. There is nothing greater in life to discover.  It is the peak of ones existence that naturally blossoms when you’ve reached a sweet ripe maturity within every area of your life.  Full enlightenment is not just about reaching a transcendental state of bliss through meditation.  The real deal means you’ve also integrated this expanded understanding into your personal life.  When you have mastered your relationships with people, money, food, sex, health, your body, feelings, thoughts and everything on your inner and outer world, then enlightenment simply finds you.  It doesn’t have to take very long, the moment you discover a deep and complete peace within every area of your life, you will have reached the highest level of maturity and reveal what the enlightened state is all about.

One can only achieve their highest enlightened state when one has grown, evolved and come to know all parts of themselves intimately.  The full ripening and maturity of ones life means you have found peace with yourself, which overflows onto everyone and everything in your outer world.  Enlightenment is a flowering of your divinity that naturally blossoms when you have relinquished this inner battle within you.  When you discover the Source of every thought, memory and feeling on your inner world, you instantly liberate yourself from them. The experience of enlightenment is something quite mysterious and very challenging to capture with words.  It is a state of profound presence that is coming from the beyond, and is heading back into the beyond.  If you are an individual who wants to traverse this spiritually advanced path, there a few things you’ll want to know about the various levels of maturity. 

If a man becomes “enlightened” in a Himalayan cave, then later returns to the city to find himself overwhelmed with stress, strife and struggle, he hasn’t reached his full maturity yet. The ultimate maturity means you are always abiding at your peaceful center, breathing deeply as the “I” of the hurricane, enjoying the cosmic play spinning around you.  This level of maturity comes with tremendous awareness, a consciousness that burns through the ego/mind, and doesn’t let you get snagged in the cyclone of people’s’ drama. The result of constantly abiding at your peaceful center is the continuous realization that a perpetual state of joy, bliss, love and freedom is always at the source of who you are.  These realizations lead one into the ultimate maturity, which ironically has the qualities of trees in a bamboo forest.  Each individual tree contains an incredible strength as well as amazing flexibility. Their roots are deeply intertwined, this allows them to connect with the souls of everyone around them, creating a feeling of a tight loving family with every new sprout that joins the forest.

True maturity is something that’s often misunderstood in our society.  This “enlightened maturity” is unique in that it contains a childlike playfulness at the core, a constant state of receptivity to each new experience, and a profound humility that stems from the willingness to merge with everyone’s heart.  Although a peaceful stillness is always found at the very core of the mature soul, they are easily inspired, outrageous in their ideas and simply excited about being alive in this amazing multidimensional Universe.  The immature soul is easy to identify as he/she will put others down to lift him/herself up.  Since they abide in ego, they always live in a constant state of insecurity because they haven’t yet found the courage to venture deep inside, to the very core of their being, and discover the vast cosmic consciousness and all-forgiving love that’s always there. 

Maturity certainly isn’t something attained through age or adulthood.  There are many children these days who are more mature than many adults, and the numbers seem to be increasing!  The ultimate maturity comes through a welcoming of the large variety of different “hot and cold” experiences life gives you.  It is a willingness to patiently bear the emotional storms of life, knowing always that everything is temporary and this too shall pass away.  This cosmic understanding leads to the ripening of consciousness.  And as Osho once said, “The ripened fruit simply falls from the tree.”  When your consciousness is fully ripe and mature, your burdens, difficulties and problems in life will naturally fall away.  You’ll stop manifesting them because your consciousness will be sooooo high, that you couldn’t be entertained or “hooked” by the ego/mind’s illusion once again. 

You must know that this Mount Everest of enlightenment is tremendously high, and there are many many old unconscious patterns from your past that need to resurface to be transcended along the way.  To climb this peak in your Sunday slippers simply means the journey wasn’t a real adventure, yet only a lazy stroll through your neighborhood park.  If you yourself are spiritually awake, yet find yourself falling back into your ego’s dramatic play again and again, do not be discouraged.  This is just one stage of the ripening process.  The secret here is consciously allowing yourself to fall back into ego/mind, and when it happens do it with utter awareness.  Bring pure consciousness into the ego/mind and let the two merge.  This will burn away your past karmic conditioning faster than chanting a billion mantras and truly liberate you!  We are all swinging on this pendulum that flows between the ego and spirit, and there’s no getting off this ride until you have mastered it.  This mastery is your journey into maturity.  So with pure awareness meet and greet every ego/mind you encounter.  Watch how the ego rises and falls, all the while you are witnessing it, relaxed at the core and in a state of awe of this great pendulum.

I’ve personally designed an online program that is guaranteed to shift you into the highest state consciousness so that you start manifesting everything your heart desires.  Whatever your Mt. Everest is in your life, it can be reached.  You can manifest anything by using this manifesting technology.  The Super Manifesting Program contains the 8 habits Manifesting Routine that will dramatically raise your consciousness so that your desires effortlessly begin showing up in your life!  Simply follow this program for 90 days in a row and we guarantee you’ll experience the magic of manifesting!!

There is nothing to heal, fix or change because everything that is real is already perfect.

When we know this to be truth, even for just an instant, LOVE heals our mind from fear.

I arrived at the lake to prepare for some friends to arrive for a couple days of fun.  It was raining and overcast skies.  Not a perfect setting for a bonfire and time at the lake but was assured that all would be perfect.

As my friends arrived we noticed two beautiful pelicans sitting right in front of the cabin on the lake.  I had never seen that before.  Then they explained that they had seen pelicans as they were driving to the lake.  They were beautiful, peaceful and serene.  What a message for us, for all of us to live our life in peace and serenity.

As time went by we saw a third pelican, then a fourth.  I couldn’t believe it!  Why were they suddenly here?  They had never been here for 11 years.  Even more intriguing….they were all right in front of our cabin.  They had the whole lake.

As we pondered this, we wondered if this was a message from the universe for us.  No one seemed to know.  What is the symbolism in a pelican.  So true to our lives in 2010, we fired up the computer to search for a meaning of pelicans.

Pelicans:  Abundance and plenty!!

We were astonished…..the four of us met and came together through a prosperity program. 

We were learning and understanding the infinite abundance of the universe.  That all is provided for us all the time.  It is only us that stops the flow of goodness to us.  We block the flow of abundance in whatever form (money, relationships, career, etc.) by our limited beliefs, our past, our fears and resisting what is, right now.  We all were born connected to this infinite abundance.

Our journey here on earth is about finding and remembering our home……our inheritance.

Thank you God for the beautiful, powerful message!

How do I deal with the never ending fear associated with a cancer diagnosis?  (not just for cancer but for all our fears)

Just the word cancer brings up a huge energy of fear in everyone…we have come to know the word and the dreaded consequences of it.  Cancer seems to be everywhere….it touches everyones life…its scary!!  We begin to believe if I get cancer its a death sentence.  Its not….but we hold these beliefs and fears about cancer within us.

If you are going through treatment for cancer it is a never ending state of fear…is the treatment working?

Will my cancer cells die?  Will it come back?  Will I be sick?  What will happen to my kids, spouse, family? How am I going to pay for all this?  What if I can’t work?  What if I lose my job?  What if I die?

And the list goes on and on….Can you feel the above words…how much fear and how you can spiral into millions of questions and more and more fear?

It is like a vicious circle feeding off itself…creating more and more of the fearful thoughts and scenerios.

This is common and can happen….but it is very important to have tools to shift yourself out of that energy into a higher energy.  Your body can heal, there are many treatments and options available,  and you have to work on staying in a higher vibration of energy for your body to heal.  Your body can’t heal in a low energy state.

If you noticed all the questions above have to do with what might happen…..none of them are happening now…they are something that could happen in the future….SO they are not even real.

Your mind creates thoughts which can rule your life….it can create monstrosities……

You have two options……continue to think about all these fearful things that may happen in the future…which wastes all your healing energy…..

OR

Notice all these thoughts and DECIDE…that you don’t know what is going to happen in the future and thinking, thinking, thinking and becoming more fearful is wasting your time and precious energy.  The energy you want to heal.

You choose…….

If you choose to use your energy for healing…try this………………..

Focus your attention in your body as much as possible.  Feel it from within.  Is there life in your hands, feet, arms, chest, etc.?  Can you feel energy flowing through your body?  Stay focussed on your inner body.  Notice the pulsating energy flowing through all your cells and organ…this is what gives you life…Feel it deeply.  Feel your body alive.

Your focus on the inner body has freed your mind…….this will help you so you won’t lose yourself in your mind.  You will still have thoughts, emotions, fears, etc. but they won’t take you over.

Practice this every day for a week and you will be amazed at how you feel.  Many times a day, refocus yourself back into your inner body and feel it.

In thinking about what I was told, the truth rang out to me.  See how it feels to you.

This is a human dilemna….we live with so much fear that separates us from our inherit greatness.

You can insert any word in the place of “illness” and it still feels true to me.  So whatever it is you are dealing with, take these wise words and use them in your life…….

“Yes I am your angel & I am with thee at your side. I have heard your question about fear ….

You fear what you can not see and you separate yourself from what it is that you are…which is  pure light  and oneness with that light.

You go outside of yourself and allow yourself to feel the unknown as fear.  

You are the light of awareness separating yourself from the light of Christ
and holding on to what you fear…… illness and loneliness and freedom. ”
 
“How do you let go of these things we hold on to?” 

“You need to speak to the part of yourself that knows who you are and what you are.  Believe you are well…….. believe you are hope…….. and believe you are righteousness in what you are as a human. 

You are not your illness, but you still believe you are.   You need to go within and tell your  illness to be gone in the name of  love and feel yourself release that fear of illness that you believe is part of what you are.

You are not the illness……….you are the butterfly that waits to be released from the hold that you have put on yourself.    You are within the cocoon of freedom waiting to be set free!!!!!

Speak to yourself  and say “I release you in the name of love” .  Release it into Gods Hands with love.

Separate yourself from the illness, you are not alone. The angels are with you!  Take this and make this real.”

Living Proof – A Man’s Unusual Prescription for Bone Cancer:

In 1995, 54-year-old Michael Gearin-Tosh was diagnosed with myeloma, a form of cancer affecting the bone marrow. Myeloma is one of the most deadly forms of cancer. Faced with the prospect of chemotherapy, he decided to create his own natural protocol which included:

1. Gerson therapy entails juicing fresh fruits and vegetables; it is combined with three coffee enemas per day (www.gerson.org).

2. Regular acupuncture treatments.

3. He consumed enormous amounts of vitamin C, as prescribed by Dr. Linus Pauling.

4. He performed Chinese breathing exercises, a practice used for thousands of years. For one hour a day, he visualized inhaling oxygen through his toes.

According to Gearin-Tosh, “I imagined the heroic Imperial Russian armies that defeated Napoleon in 1812 marching through my body, looking for white cancerous cells to hunt out and destroy.”

Doctors gave him little likelihood of surviving no more than one year without chemotherapy. More than 7 years after that prediction, he wrote his book – a success story that will touch anyone who has fought cancer, along with friends and family members of a cancer patient.

A Woman is Cured of 3rd Stage Cancer Using Nigella Sativa:

Nigella Sativa (or black seed, as it is more commonly called) is a well-documented cure for many forms of cancer, including pancreatic cancer. Black seed is used to treat everything from migraines to cancer.

A woman in Yemen, suffering from 3rd stage cancer, sought a natural treatment. She was advised to take black seeds with honey three times a day, in addition to garlic and honey, also taken three times per day.

Her husband faithfully crushed the seeds and mixed them with honey. He also crushed the fresh garlic and mixed it with honey. After three months, her cancer disappeared. The woman has continued to use honey and garlic, even after the disappearance of her disease.

Breast Cancer Cure Using a Natural Diet:

Marilyn Brent, breast cancer survivor, has shared her story of survival using a natural cancer plan developed by Solomon J. Wickey. Her plan was very simple, comprised of the following elements:

1. Drink fresh carrot and celery juice every day (1 pint each)

2. Maintain a healthy diet with no animal proteins, no sugars, salts, eggs, dairy, white flour or peanuts.

3. She also took some herbs for 9 weeks, which consisted of: 1 tsp red clover blend, 1 tsp whole apricot extract, 6 food enzymes, 6 parsley, 6 pau d’arco.

4. She avoided cooking in the microwave.

She also walked daily, drank only pure water and prayed a lot.

Amanda’s Cure for Cervical Cancer:

Amanda says she cured her cervical cancer with a raw vegan diet, meditation and yoga. Her cancer diagnosis served as a wake-up call about her unhealthy diet.

According to Amanda, “A raw food vegan diet is based on unprocessed and uncooked plant foods such as fresh fruits and vegetables, sprouts, seeds, grains, beans, nuts, dried fruit, and seaweed.”

I was feeling a lot of pain…..the pain was gone…I know it sounds incredible and it is…

I have always believed in miracles…

I have always believed anything is possible….

And I have always believed that it really is our birthright to be healthy and abundant.

It doesn’t have to be hard or a struggle…I have always believed, IT REALLY HAS TO BE SIMPLE!

We are blessed to be living in 2010 when miracles happen all the time, when the energy of the universe and humanity is at a place of expansion. When the energy of the universe from the Divine is flowing freely and when individuals walk this planet who are gifted with the ability to trransfer this God energy.

“Trivedi’s energy transmissions utilize human intention in extraordinary manifestations on both living and non-living matter. Besides its applications in the realms of inorganic matter at the atomic level, his impact on human wellness is nothing short of phenomenal. But his ability to change the face of large-scale agricultural endeavors is perhaps the most exciting of all – and will be of greatest use to humanity. I have no doubt Mr. Trivedi will change the face of science and human well-being in my lifetime.”
- Dr. Rustum Roy, Ph.D

“This is what appears to be the emergence of a new form of Life Energy. This Energy is presently being transmitted by an individual affectionately known as Guruji [Trivedi] in a process he calls ‘blessing.’ The results of this transfer are rather remarkable, as demonstrated by empirical testing on items such as plant growth and human health…”
- Ken Wilber

Now years later, there are thousands of stories of healing from cancer.  If we open ourselves to a possibility…just maybe it could help…we can access a potential, an energy we didn’t know existed.  
     
   
The New Age Medicine of Dr. Bernie Siegel
Clete Hux

………………There are many examples which could be given and easily recognized as sensational quackery in the field of holistic medicine. It is crucial to look at one of the more subtle and winsome personalities.

Enter Dr. Bernie Siegel. His loving, caring and almost pastoral approach has gained wide acceptance, especially among cancer patients. Of course, this is not to downplay this sensitive style because there is much to be said for a doctor with a caring bedside manner.

However, Dr. Siegel’s approach is most likely how some people became involved in New Age medicine.

Bernie Siegel has good medical credentials. He was educated at Colgate University and Cornell University Medical College (holding membership in two scholastic honor societies, graduating with honors).

His surgical training took place at Yale’s New Haven Hospital. He was a pediatric and general surgeon in New Haven, Connecticut. Because of his popularity, he now spends most of his time lecturing and keeping up with correspondence.

His books, Love, Medicine and Miracles and Peace, Love and Healing have sold like hot cakes for many reasons, one of which is Siegel’s approach.

Another is because of people’s desire to try to find something new to help their condition. Unfortunately, this search for the new is leading many into the New Age.

Siegel was introduced to New Age medicine by O. Carl Simonton, who directs the Simonton Cancer Center in Pacific Palisades, California. Along with his wife Stephanie, Carl authored the book Getting Well Again.

This book reveals the origin of the New Age and Occultic ideas that have shaped their work. Siegel’s books promote the same.

Prominent influences include Silva Mind Control; thanaolgist and medium, Dr. Elizabeth Kubler-Ross (On Death and Dying, 1969) and; Mind Dynamics Inc. There are many other Occultic influences in the suggested reading list of the Simonton’s and Siegel’s books (see SCP Journal 9:3).

As for Siegel himself, he explains in his book how he was introduced into the holistic medical movement.

He states, “In June of 1978, my practice of medicine changed as a result of an unexpected experience I had a teaching seminar, a workshop: Psychological Factors, Stress and Cancer.

“The Simonton’s were the first western practitioners to use imagery techniques against cancer, the Simonton’s taught us how to meditate, to find and meet an inner guide” (Love, Medicine and Miracles, pp. 18-19).

Dr. Siegel said he was a skeptic, not believing it would work yet “still sat down, closed my eyes and followed directions.

“I met George, a bearded, long-haired young man wearing an immaculate, flowing white gown and a skullcap. It was an incredible awakening for me because I hadn’t expected anything to happen” (Ibid, pp. 19-20).

He began receiving insights from George and later in the book Siegel recommends the practice of kundaline Yoga (serpent force arousal) and transcendental meditation in order to have “breathtaking experiences of cosmic-at-oneness and enlightenment” (Ibid, pp. 148-150).

Later in the book, Siegel deteriorates even further as he teaches the value of communicating with the dead through seances, which he calls “healing circles” (Ibid, pp. 220-222).

This is postured in the caring mold. In Peace, Love and Healing, he tells how a person can get to heaven without dying, that he himself has visited there more than once (p. 245).

In Peace, Love and Healing Siegel describes his view of God.

He says, “As you know, I think of God as intelligent, loving energy. So, I expect everything in creation to be meaningful. After all, the same messenger molecules that I talked about earlier are in all living things” (p. 247).

He elaborates further: “Just as I believe that love and laughter and peace of mind are physiologic so I also believe that in our earthly lives we exist as physical manifestations of the loving, intelligent energy that we call God, the wholeness of the individual is the wholeness of the universe in microcosm. Atomically, anatomically and cosmically we express this unity whether or not we are conscious of it” (p. 252).

This is the impersonal god of the New Age Movement, not the personal God of the Bible.

He also seems to promote the New Age idea of reincarnation. He says, “From my experience I feel that we do live on in some other form of energy after the body dies. I don’t just say this to make people feel better, but because I have seen and heard about such extraordinary events” (p. 254).

With this he gives stories of patients who have had departed loved ones appear to them in different visible forms.

Siegel promotes the same moral relativism in his meditative techniques as does the New Age. He explains, “Remember there are no right or wrong ways of doing these visualizations. Do not judge yourself” (p. 261).

In one meditation he instructs a person to basically manipulate reality when he says, “¼absorb the energy of the earth and sun. Once again open yourself, every cell, to light and love. Harmonize the organs. Create the person, the new self” (p. 265, emphasis mine).

This is based on the idea that one can create reality because all is God. This is the god of the New Age – not the Bible!

I wonder what today will bring…

I wonder what this Christmas season will bring….

I wonder what the meaning of this holiday season is for me……

I wonder how I could give and receive love…..

I wonder what the biggest gift I could give…..

I wonder what I am to learn this coming year…..

I wonder what I really want to do right now….

I wonder what my greatest gift to the world is….

I wonder how I feel about…..

I wonder if I should call__________….

These simple phrases allow you to stop…it opens you and helps you to feel and get a glimspe of the answer.  All our answers are within us.  Often we act or react to something someone says or what someone wants or wants us to do, without really stopping to check in what is the best for ME!  When we react we are acting on autopilot..we are going through the motions without a clear direction and without lining up with our true wants and desires.

 I love what Neale Walsh says about reacting…He says when we are in REACTION we are not seeing clearly or acting with clarity.  We act with clarity when we are lined up with the true us, the us within, the power within, our true self.  So reaction is based on something outside of ourselves.  But when we are in CREATION mode, we are responding with clarity.  We are responding to something by first checking in, finding our answers and lining up with our truest self and true desires.

REACTION        vs         CREATION             There is only one difference in these words…and that is the letter C.

So when we “C” clearly we are the creators of our reality.

So stop today and ask I wonder…….and watch what unfolds.  Practice…this is a habit to develop and use to create what you want in your life.

Living your authentic self is living your true nature, your inner truth,that truth which resides in your heart and soul.  When you are living your authentic self you are guided every moment by the divine truth within you.

You are not acting and saying based on who you are talking to or what others think you should do or say.  You are not allowing the world around you to dictate what you do and who you are.  Deep within you is the truth of who you are and what you believe and you act on this guidance throughout your day.  You are true to yourself.  This is being authentic.

Here is an article by Carol Adrienne and some good tips on being authentic and how to notice when you aren’t.

Also click here to for 5 steps to living from the inside out Living From The Heart.  A great workbook to start being authentic in all areas of your life

As children we have no trouble being authentic. Remember when you woke up in the summer happy with anticipation for the day? Remember the joy you took in having your friends sleep over? Remember your parents’ mixed reaction when you blurted out some delightful, albeit disconcerting, blunt truth? Growing up, we naturally question authority or the status quo because curiosity and the need to understand how the world works are prime motivations in our developing psyche. At some critical point, however, it is inevitably driven home to us that in order to get along in the world, sometimes we need to withhold our opinions, listen to our elders, deny what we see and hear, lie low or even lie. We begin the process of putting a lot of stuff—beliefs, opinions, self-criticisms, pain, fear, disappointments, humiliations, anger, rage, feelings of distrust and abandonment in a closet—with the idea that maybe it will go away or we’ll sort it out later.

The voice of the authentic self seems to be the same as the intuitive voice, that quiet, but persistent voice that whispers new ideas to us in the middle of the night, on vacation, or after meditating. Intuition speaks in short, clear messages that are qualitatively different from the repetitive mind chatter that makes us feel anxious. Intuition tells us where the authentic choice is—for us.

When we are birthing a more authentic version of ourselves—especially when we are unconsciously growing away from the familiar unspoken contracts and agreements we have with people, we experience some or all of the following feelings, which Rae expressed in our conversation. I asked her to state what she does not want as the first step in identifying what she does want. She said, “I don’t want to be dependent on anyone. I don’t want to feel unsure of myself. I don’t want to be tired all the time. I don’t want to be negative, to always see the down side, or to expect the worst. I don’t want to be a fearful worry wart. I don’t want to be a people-pleaser. I don’t want to feel that I am not being authentic.”

In a recent article in Noetic Sciences Review (March-May 2003), Eckhart Tolle, author of The Power of Now, says, “More and more, you realize that you are not your thoughts, because they come and go. They’re all conditioned; they’re all just the contents of your mind. Instead of deriving a sense of self from those contents, you realize that you can simply observe the contents. A deeper sense of self arises then. That is the aware presence, and it feels very spacious and peaceful, no matter what happens in your mind.”

Below is a list of some of feelings that comprise a syndrome of inauthenticity—which occurs when our inner needs, values, and self-image don’t match our outer expression, behaviors, and accomplishments—and some major characteristics of an authentic person.

• MEDITATE. Practice clearing the mind regularly. Observe passing thoughts as if they were clouds.
• SPECIFY THE FEAR. When you feel fear about some new action or decision, write down exactly what you are afraid might happen. Get very clear about the shape of the fear and what you are actually dealing with.
• FIND THE ROOT. Ask yourself, Whose voice is talking to me? Who is making me afraid? Is it my voice? My parents? The voice of mass media?
• MANAGE AROUND THE FEAR. Write down specific things you could do to work around the fear so that you can take a small step in spite of it.
• DROP SELF-DOUBT. The best way to feel good about yourself is to complete something that you have been putting off, or to set one small goal and achieve it. Nothing begins to erase self-doubt more easily than a little string of successes.
• LOOK FOR A THIRD SOLUTION. Whenever you are agonizing over two choices, remember that this polarization serves a purpose—to keep you from taking any step. When lost in black and white thinking, look for a third option.
• APPRECIATE YOUR UNIQUENESS. Everyone has a special knack, talents, and skills. Everyone.
• STOP STRUGGLING. There is a time for perseverance and a time to let go.
• ENJOY THE MOMENT. Take delights in small pleasures and beauty. Be with people you love and enjoy.
• TAKE TIME. Slow down. Avoid the tendency to fill up the space.
• STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. Nothing drains energy more than suppressing action, passion, and commitment.
• SIMPLIFY. Troubles arise when we set ourselves up to do too many things or to manage too much stuff. Being authentic is being able to say yes when you mean it and no when you need to.
• SPEND MORE TIME IN NATURE. The beauty, quiet, and harmony of nature helps you observe your thoughts as separate from who you are. Natural surroundings help put options into perspective. Peaceful sounds of birds, flowing water, wind, and waves lull the mental chatter and clear the mind. To quote Eckhart Tolle, “When your sense of self is no longer tied to thought, is no longer conceptual, there is a depth of feeling of sensing, of compassion, of loving that was not there when you were trapped in mental concepts. You are that depth.”

You need not make huge changes in your life to experience being more alert and present. Acting on any one of the choices above can immediately change how you experience your life.
