What's A Devil's Choice?

2011-03-14T20:37:00.000-05:00

By Lola Jones

So often you'll hear people say things they actually believe are set-in-stone-reality, but any reality is always just one of many realities one could inhabit. Too often we buy into popular notions of what reality is.

I live in Los Angeles half the time now, and just today someone was saying, "You can't make it in this town unless you're under forty--it's a young person's game. It's hard to get funding for films, blah, blah, blah." He thought he was stating an obvious reality. I didn't say anything--I mind my own business and don't argue with people or try to convince them of anything unless they formally sign up for me to teach them--but my love Russell broke into film making at age fifty-three, and at fifty-eight he's now shooting his second film, which was fully funded by the Mexican government (a miracle in itself) and has other films and funding in the works. (Link to his site at bottom.)

There simply are no set realities, there is only what you create. The reason Divine Openings is so powerful is that it frees you at the deepest levels. Talking a new game often isn't enough, but noticing what you're saying does alert you to your own beliefs, and that's a start. Reading Things Are Going Great In My Absence gets you free from your own limiting beliefs, at a deep level, without analyzing and working on it.

One way we inadvertently limit ourselves is The Devil's Choice. There isn't really any devil, but The Devil's Choice is a fun name for when we limit ourselves to only two choices. Gets your attention, doesn't it? Of course the belief that there are ever only two choices in any circumstance is a disempowering illusion, so listen to yourself and see if you ever, without thinking, condemn yourself to a Devil's Choice.

A Devils' Choice is usually an either/or,
implies you can't have all of what you want,
and it suggests you're "damned if you do
and damned if you don't."

Here are some examples of Devil's Choices:

•I can either keep this secure job I don't like and have steady money, or do something I enjoy and make less money.
•You can be spiritual, or have plenty of money (but not both).
•You can either be in a corporate job, or make a difference in the world.
•I can be an artist and give up having money, or make a great living and sacrifice my creative expression.
•You can either enjoy life and eat all you want, or torture yourself with exercise and starvation.
•I can stay in this unhappy marriage, or be lonely.
•I can settle for this partner who's not a vibrational match to me, or I can do that awful dating process.
•I can struggle and toil on the spiritual path all my life, or I can enjoy life and never get enlightened.
•You can enjoy the physical world to the max, or be spiritual and give up the goodies of the physical world.
•You can be sexual, or spiritual, but not both.
•I can be lighthearted and fun, or successful and accomplished.
•You can choose a partner for love, or marry for money.
•You can have passion in a relationship, or peaceful compatibility.
•You can have fun, or be responsible, but not both.
•I can be realistic, or I can be airy-fairy and get disappointed.
•I can have lots of freedom, or achieve my dreams.
•I can be a great parent, or have a successful career.
•I have to either go back to school, or stay in this dead end career.
•I can pay off my bills or have fun.
•What Devil's Choices do you hear yourself or other people saying?

In the Devil's Choice mindset,
both of the two options are limiting, and
neither makes you happy.

Set yourself free from Devil's Choices. There are always thousands of possible choices and options available to you. The Presence lines them up for you the minute you need them, yet talking, feeling, and believing The Devil's Choice blinds you to those many options, so you don't see them even when they're parading right by you. I just noticed that the byline at the top of the page is the exact opposite of a Devil's Choice, because you can have both: Spiritual Bliss AND Practical Real-Life Results

Next time you find yourself about to make a Devil's Choice, just notice it. Don't make it wrong or give yourself a hard time. Take a big deep breath, and say to yourself:

"There are thousands of ways, options, and choices.
I don't have to know what they are right now.
I intend to be alert for them,
and be open to them."

Unbelievable "3-step" Strategy

2011-03-11T19:07:00.000-06:00

Ever wonder how to change your emotional state - instantly,
consistently (and whenever you want to)?

Then you've got to check out Christian Pankhurst's
new video from his 'Removing The Resistance' series:

CLICK HERE

I think the way he breaks it down into a simple 3-step process
can really help you make instant changes in your life.

The best part about this video is that he actually DEMONSTRATES
it with a live client, so you can see it working. It's really good to see.

Christian calls this process 'Embodied Awareness' and it
really is an amazing piece of the 'reality creation' puzzle. It will
help you move out of a place that feels disconnected and instantly
bring you back to your true self (and you'll be astonished at how
simple and effective it is. Wow.)

Over 700 people have posted raving comments about
Christian's videos. It's a phenomenon and worth checking out.

And it's the video everyone's been waiting for - "The Method"

huge. Stay tuned...

The Myths That Hold You Back

2011-03-11T19:04:00.001-06:00

Christian Pankhurst just posted an incredible video on
the myths surrounding how you manifest and create your
reality. I think you're going to be shocked by what he shares
as it turns conventional thinking right on it's head.

Check it out :

Click Here

Perhaps this is why you've not been as effective as you
would like at using the Law of Attraction in your life?

I guess this is the first time he's broken down this method
to the public outside of his sell-out retreats.

Christian's last training video got over NUMBER comments -
people were flipping out about him giving away this
much free content and training.

I know you'll like it, too, and it's definitely worth the optin.
(if you've signed up already, you won't need to optin again :-)

Marnyka

P.S. Christian is everywhere right now. After demonstrating
his approach, the viewing public from 91 different countries
voted him 'Britain's Next Top Coach'. And that was back in
2009. You should see what he's doing now... We can all
have the life we dream about. Christian proves it in
this video:

What is Heart Intelligence?

2011-03-11T18:59:00.002-06:00

Do you know Christian Pankhurst? The Heart Intelligence guy?

If not, you've got to watch this amazing content video from him.

It tells a powerful story of how Christian used Heart Intelligence
to sell everything, quit his well paying job as a Chiropractor and
leave his home behind to pursue a deeper calling to share a
message of personal and collective awakening from the heart.

Click Here to See the Video

Christian totally changed his life around using the powerful methods
he describes in this video.

For example, he cured his asthma when the doctors said nothing
could be done and broke free from his numbing depression and
panic attacks after watching his best friend get brutally beaten.

All this by the time he was 21.

Ten years later he won the 'Britain's Next Top Coach' award
winning 52% of the votes from 91 different countries.

Today his focus is on one thing: Helping you accelerate your
personal awakening through removing the neuro-emotional-
energetic resistance that keeps you from letting in the things
you want in life and keeps YOU from getting OUT.

Click Here to See This Video

(At the end of the video, Christian gives a fantastic resource
to discover how much of your life you are living in resistance
and offers a way for you to identify what holds you back)

I just heard about Christian last year when he was taking
the world by storm. Out of nowhere he was online everywhere
making an impact in people's lives all around the world.

But what makes him unique, is how he does all this from the
heart... you can really feel his authenticity and 'realness'
from this video, and you'll be glad you took the time to
watch it.

Enjoy the video. And take notes. Trust me, it's worth the optin.

Marnyka

P.S. Christian's video -- especially the bit about our Neurological
Defense Mechanism -- is amazing. He says he's taking
questions on the blog, so watch and comment. No wonder
this guy is showing up everywhere! He's sure got some
recognition:

-- Neale Donald Walsch, author of 'Conversations with God'
said "Christian knows how to articulate these messages as well as,
if not better than I do. He is a profound source of clarity and
understanding of the richness and depth of this material"

Kundalini Rises Rapidly, Safely, Without Effort Or Long Practice

2010-07-22T21:22:00.000-05:00

Maybe you read books on kundalini, take kundalini classes, attend kundalini seminars, practice kundalini with your lover, or maybe even teach kundalini yoga. Maybe you've heard about kundalini and are just curious to learn more.

Your desire has brought you here in perfect synchronicity. If you're still seeking "that certain something", you've come to a very auspiciously blessed place. For many years, we did practices of all kinds, attended seminars, read, visualized, meditated, got healings and sessions, and sometimes it seemed we worked on ourselves endlessly. We thought we had to earn it, or achieve it, learn lessons, or get somewhere. No more.

Welcome to a new world of spiritual awakening, kundalini activation, and personal evolution that unfolds without effort. The new leading edge paradigm of human evolution is based on Grace. Grace does for you what you cannot do for yourself.

All the waiting, working, and effort is over
if you will open your heart and mind
and allow this Grace in.

Kundalini can safely rise for many, just from reading the book, Things Are Going Great In My Absence. Others might require a phone session or a live hands-on Divine Opening or two, or a course. This is the age of acceleration and miracles, and nothing demonstrates this more powerfully than Divine Openings. One of the phenomena of Divine Openings is that it causes the kundalini fire to light and rise safely, without effort, practices, or work. It does much more than that, but kundalini was your area of interest when you came to this site, so we'll address kundalini first. You'll learn more about the many other things Divine Openings does for you, beyond kundalini, as you read on.

The comprehensive energetic transformation of Divine Openings causes a safe rising of kundalini. You may get a bit over-energized at times, but you'll be given simple tools to deal with that, and it won't be unduly difficult if it does happen. You will not experience serious problems with kundalini with Divine Openings.

Divine Openings is different, so you cannot compare it to anything else. As you read, if your mind starts struggling to stuff it in some box with something you already know, like kundalini or shakti, you simply can't; it's unlike anything you've ever done. For example, your crown, third eye, and other chakras will open and balance, but we won't discuss, think about, or work on your chakras.

Major lifelong issues resolve, traumas disappear, patterns dissolve, karma is erased, and you won't even know how it happened. You won't analyze, work on it, or think about it. You won't do austerities or work at all in our spiritual retreat courses or online courses. Upon spiritual awakening, issues and limitations fall away, gradually for some, rapidly for others. This is spiritual awakening that works in practical life.

You do your 10%, and Grace does 90% of it for you. You learn to let The Divine do the heavy lifting. Divine Openings initiates or deepens spiritual enlightenment, reconnects and upgrades your DNA, lights up your light body, wakes up your full power, ignites your Divine Intelligence (inner genius), and resolves your "issues" -- and once you are free, you don't ever have to go back. We humorously refer to it as getting on the automatic upgrade program of spiritual awakening. Once it begins, it keeps unfolding like a beautiful lotus, in every area of your life.

What are kriyas? Kriyas are involuntary, automatic movements, twitches, or vocalizations that sometimes occur as the rise of Kundalini clears the karma, patterns, and energy pathways of the the energy body. Kriyas can take many forms, from a simple urge to do yoga postures (even if you don't know any yoga) - to dances, songs, and chants you don't know (possibly in a language you don't know).

It is said that yoga originated from observing people spontaneously going through kriyas during kundalini awakening. People surmised that if they reversed the process and did those exact postures regularly, their kundalini would rise. This is unfortunately a very slow route to kundalini awakening, and often it does not ever result in kundalini awakening.

Rocking, nodding, twitching, and shaking are the most common types of kriyas, and they range from tiny shudders to doing dramatic automatic movements. With Divine Openings we say Divine Presence takes over your body and does what needs to be done to free your energy and clear the pathways. As energy begins to move more freely, the kinks and blockages are shaken loose. Some people cry or scream and then don't remember doing it, because their Large Self took over their body completely for a short time in order to get the job done as fast as possible, by Grace.

The main thing is to let go and don't resist. The sooner you let go, the sooner the kriyas resolve and cease. There's a huge sense of release afterward, and the energy pathways are opened so kundalini can flow freely.

Divine Openings automatically ignites and liberates the kundalini energy without effort. It really doesn't matter whether kriyas are experienced or not. Some people experience kriyas more radically than others, some don't experience overt kriyas at all, or they're barely noticeable. With Divine Openings you can be sure that the kundalini energy will rise.

Some people experience flashes of firelike heat, increased energy, or simply more aliveness. Their eyes might shine with an inner light, and they tend to activate others, much as a lit match lights other matches it comes close to. Eyes are not just light receptors. In advanced states of spiritual awakening, the eyes actually emit light.

Some describe feeling as if their entire being is lit up temporarily like a white hot welding torch, with accompanying feelings of bliss and peace. Everyone is different. For some it's very subtle.

Sensual passion, love, or spiritual passion is usually increased; which one you experience depends on your Large Self's plan for you, your own heart's desires, and stage of life.

Again, Divine Openings does far, far more than cause kundalini rising, and the practical life effects are miraculous and wonderful.

We encourage you to read more about Divine Openings, the many life-altering benefits, and the many ways to receive it on our home page, then say yes to this most miraculous and life-changing blessing. From our home page, you can explore to your heart's desire, and dive into this bright new world of amazing possibilities. Then you can choose the best method for you to begin: spiritual retreat courses or online courses, a phone session or a live hands-on Divine Opening.

Let It Come From Unexpected Sources!

2010-07-08T15:00:00.001-05:00

Going with the flow and letting in ease often means letting go of preconceived expectations.

Three times this week, I've set my mind on something I thought would fulfill my heart's desires, only to have something better show up in a completely unexpected package.

In every case, it looked at first like I was not going to get what I wanted. In every case, something better than I had asked for presented itself very quickly. Fortunately I was open and willing to recognize the gift being offered, so it could come quickly. When we're too busy griping about how it isn't happening, we can't hear the solution.

Ask a question and Life answers it.... sometimes after saying "no" to your initial request!

Some very practical answers came just this week. My beloved dog Honey's teeth were looking really bad. Last time they put her under anesthetic to clean them, she had a reaction and nearly died. One vet was offering to do it anyway, at a very steep price, and that clearly felt bad, a sure sign to keep exploring. An inspiration came from within to just give her big marrow bones several times a week. I did that, she loves it, and her teeth and gums improved miraculously in weeks.

The next one was a tech challenge.
I called a software service I use, and asked for a change in my service. They said "No, we can't do that." At first I told them, "Well, I'll find another provider who can." This wasn't something I wanted to have to do, though, because the other providers are way more expensive.

But the wonderful customer service person told me some things I could do that would give me the result I needed, AND work much better than what I thought I wanted. Then she walked me through the process, showing me exactly how to do it. My disappointment soon turned to excitement at how much better it would work. Who cares how you get there, as long as you get there!

The third incident in that same week started when my horse Royal was acting up, tossing his head back and bucking as he went into the canter or gallop. Last time he threw such a fit, he broke my nose. Horse whisperer friends had helped some, but I was pretty fed up with his behavior. I let myself move up the scale from powerlessness, to anger, and then finally up to giving up: "I'll get another horse!" (I have another very steady, reliable horse, Tava.

Getting another horse didn't feel completely right, even though I was determined to have a change. I love Royal! Most solutions don't come in one giant leap. They're usually a chain of thoughts, feelings, synchronicities, and inspirations that lead to the result. So while I dreamed of the nice relaxing rides I wanted, I let go and let The Divine do the heavy lifting.

Next day the inspiration came to call an animal communicator I know. She tapped right into Royal's needs. He had tightness in some deep musculature, and breaking into the canter hurt a bit. She did some long distance healing, and on our ride the next day, he did better... enough that I had renewed hope. Next session, she identified some "babyish" insecurity that made him throw a fit when we'd ride away from his mate, Tava. Alecia said to take control, cowgirl style, and be really firm with him, which I did. She showed me that there was a gift in it for me, to become a stronger leader. Sometimes "enlightened" isn't always all sweetness and light. Sometimes it's tough love.

Sitting out on the porch thinking back over the week, I mused that in each situation, I thought I knew what had to happen. But each time, a solution showed up that was so much better, and so completely different than what I expected. These are mundane examples, but it often happens with big things we ask for: relationships, financial needs, jobs, trips, health.

How many times have I thought someone else MUST change in order for something to work out? Imagine my surprise when my Large Self informed me that it was I who needed to change.

Whenever it seems I'm blocked, and can't get something done, or what I want just isn't happening despite all my efforts, it's a sure sign that Life is trying to spare me a mistake or lead me in a better direction.

If we can just get out of the way and let go of our mind's limited ideas, The Presence knows our true heart's desires, and our practical needs. If we can stay unattached, open, and willing to keep moving, the most delightful things can come. Easier, cheaper, more fun alternatives appear.

For me, inspirations come in the form of normal, mundane thoughts. There are no trumpets or angels. But when I follow them, magic happens.

How Do I Make This Confusion Go Away?

2010-07-02T17:00:00.001-05:00

Someone wrote recently and said his thoughts were a swirl of confusion.

What to do? Well, first off, your thoughts are pretty irrelevant to your liberation. Your mind never got you free before, so don't expect the solution to be found there!

Remember Einstein's wisdom: A problem is never solved in the same consciousness that created it.

Your liberation is through feeling the confusion, not sorting it out mentally.

Embrace the confusion.
Feel the confusion without resisting it, making it wrong, analyzing it, figuring it out, or trying to make it go away.
Your presence with it is magic, and transforms it.
Confusion needs to happen as the old breaks up and goes into chaos.
Then the energy reorganizes into something you'll like a lot more.
People need to break down the old, but they don't always appreciate it, or want to feel it breaking down!
They want change, but when the old starts breaking down it may not feel good, and although they are getting what they asked for, they go "Oh, no!!!!"

It may be scary.
You may be temped to try to run back to the old order...... the one you didn't like!
But at least it's familiar, aye?

But Divine Openings won't let you. Trying to go backwards actually increases the suffering.
Instead, embrace the change and the feeling.

You'll love and appreciate what comes after confusion!
Chaos and confusion comes before breakthrough.

Of course, always be with everything you feel.
You asked for change: presto, it's happening!
Now you're feeling all that swirling, boiling ENERGY MOVING!!!!

Notice when you have the urge to run from what you're feeling.
Watch how the mind can hook you into thinking rather than feeling.

Here's how that can play out in many sneaky ways:
-- I shouldn't be feeling this. (Yes, you SHOULD BE, because it's been there stagnating and building pressure for a long time. Just feel.)
-- No one else is feeling this. (Yes, they do feel this, you just can't see it. Just feel and flow.)
-- Oh, no, that feeling again! (Just feel it and you'll never feel it again in that disempowering way.)
-- What can I do to control this? (Don't control it. Just feel and flow.)
-- I should be past this! (As you open up, new feelings arise. Feel them and they move on.)
-- I should be in control! (Small self's attempts at control got you in all the jams you're in. Just feel and flow.)
-- I should be able to understand this! (No. You can't. There's too much of it, and it's too old. Just feel and flow.)
-- I want to figure this out! (Not a good use of your energy. That's the mind's circular game. Just feel and flow.)
-- I need to get a session, healing, fix this, or make it go away. (Just feel it.)

Let go and JUST FEEL!

It really does resolve.
Everything Divine Openings stirs up, it resolves.
Your job is just to LET GO, and let yourself be taken effortlessly along in the flow of Life.

We went swimming at Barton Springs yesterday and took Ruby, who was here from the UK (Wales) to do the 5 Day Silent Intensive. It was a perfect, no-mind activity, and I love to do that, especially after being in all that profundity for 5 days. It's great to do mundane, normal, fun things after a big explosion of bliss. Ebb and flow, enjoy the contrast.

To soothe confusion, instead of thinking and analyzing:
Do some things outdoors, or do things you like...... that don't require or encourage thinking.
Curl up in a ball on your sofa, and don't think. Feel.
Take a hot bath or jump in cold water.
Give yourself hugs.
Sing, dance, exercise.
Follow your guidance and urges.

Feel, and without any work, clarity will come.

The Economy, Oil Spill, and Saving The World

2010-06-30T17:30:00.000-05:00

How To Navigate These Times

Divine Openings is very practical. It's not only about being blissed out or having spiritual experiences - it's about living a full and satisfying life. Didn't we get on the spiritual path to get peaceful and happy? And so, whether Divine Openings is new to you or you've been blessed by it for years, let's take a moment to focus powerfully.

Most people believe that it is important to accept "reality", to be tuned into what is going on in the outer world. So many believe that watching the media and keeping up with current events is necessary to know the things they need to know.

Now, some of you can look at outer reality and still keep strongly, clearly vibrating what you want enough to overpower that vibration of what you don't want. But as most people look at things they don't like, they get swamped in the emotional response to it. They begin to vibrate with it, and without meaning to, they align with that energy. Their attenton to it affects them emotionally, and the resulting charge on that "unwanted reality" gives that "reality" even more vibrational power, and more of that reality is created.

Most people simply can't give a lot of focus to a reality
they don't want, and still create something else.

I wrote a song collection called Watch Where You Point That Thing. It's a rousing inspirational romp about how you give energy to what you focus on, so you gotta watch where you point that thing. You attention and focus is a creative act. As you vibrate it, you create it. So watch where you point that thing. Watch what you give attention to.

Since it is so challenging to keep your vibration high while looking at awful things, I suggest to you, that until you become unshakable, that you turn your powerful attention away from things that bring your vibration down. Keep your focus, which is as powerful as a laser beam, on what you want. When Jesus said, "Turn the other cheek," it feels to me that it meant turn away from what you don't want, and turn your face in the direction you want to go. Turn your attention to what you do want. He was saying, "Don't bother pushing against what you don't want, or fighting what you don't want." What you resist persists.

Flip your attention from "Don't want this" to "Do want that". Notice how you feel and vibrate in each direction. Compare the contrasts of that. Which feels better? Which gives you peace of mind right here and right now? Focus on what you want rather than on what already is.

You may need to consciously flip a thousand thoughts per day until your mind is automatically trained to do this habitually, but this is important. My mind now automatically flips thoughts. They moment I experience something I don't want, my mind looks for the solution, for what I do want. And it comes quickly. Disrespect reality. Create reality rather than just being a consumer of pre-packaged reality.

Create reality rather than just being a
consumer of pre-packaged reality.

Ideally, here is what happens: we feel the discomfort of what we don't want, and then we reach even more passionately for relief, or a solution. For example, people feel the lack of money when the economy is slow. A fox feels more chilled as an ice age approaches. There is public outrage and concern about an oil spill.

The discomfort, the awareness of what isn't working, causes a powerful desire for relief, for something better. The Presence answers all those requests, and the solutions immediately begin to be offered. Those who get stuck complaining about the problem are just part of the problem. They're giving more reality to the problem. They will not only fail to help find a solution, they'll find similar things showing up everywhere in their lives.

Those who can stop focusing on the problem quickly, and start focusing on solutions, will more quickly be able to see the solutions. They are "letting the good in". Financial opportunities begin to form in the non-physical and then are soon experienced in the physical. Nature lets it in quite well, so the fox begins to grow a thicker coat. Nature always finds balance in the long run, and so she begins to handle the effects of the oil spill. Humans get a wake up call and begin to look more seriously for solutions about oil and alternative fuels.

This mechanism of discomfort, and response to it, actually works to move us forward, expand and evolve us. The completion of the solution may not happen instantly, but in this eternal universe, there is no mistake or fatal tragedy. Life goes on.

It is supposed to feel bad to feel limited. It's supposed to feel bad to be anything less than your powerful, Large Self. Whenever you feel less than powerful and uplifted, your Instrument Panel is surely guiding you, nudging you to move.

You Large Self is already waiting for you at the party you've requested to have. The food and drink and decorations are up. The how-to's for how to get to the better financial state are lined up. The thicker coat for the fox is lining up. The newer, better ways to find fuel and use it are lining up.

But until you get yourself to the party, there can be no party. You're the key element, the guest of honor. If you're the missing link, you're holding up the party.

So how do you get yourself to the party? You line up with the vibration of what you want rather than the vibration of what you see around you that feels so bad. Some things are supposed to feel bad, so that you'll want to expand, evolve, and get moving vibrationally. Then the physical will fill in to match your new vibration. But don't think about the end results unless you can stay relaxed about it. Focus on who you want to be and how you want to feel.

Important Points:
•Don't make it wrong that things happen that feel bad. Can you see how it spurs evolution? Can you see that out of the American Depression came the most prosperity of any era in history? Can you see that oppression brings a desire for freedom? More people are free today than at any time in history. Kings used to rule everyone. Pollution brings a desire for clean water. Many rivers have been cleaned up due to that. Ecology and organic food are no longer fringe movements.
•Mind your focus and your vibration first. It all begins at home with you. As you sit and focus on what you desire, you join the party, and The Presence does the heavy lifting. If you are moved to do something physical do it.
•Take a long term view. Evolution sometimes takes a while. You are an eternal being. Step back, way back, from your Large Self view, and see that all is well from that perspective, even though you may be in the thick of a challenging adventure right now.
•Change the way you feel about it. Then it doesn't matter that it takes a while to change the physical.
•Think hopeful thoughts, even if they're tenative. "Things always get better. Grace is raining on us all. All I have to do is focus on letting it in, and stop taking score of what isn't here yet. All I have to do is rave about what good has already come to me, feel where I want to go, and put my powerful attention there. All I have to do is stay open and receptive to the answers that are offered."
A woman wondered how her life had taken a turn for the better, even back before she found Divine Openings and learned all of this. She'd been in an abusive relationship, and was very depressed. So she thought back to those days, and realized she'd often walk down the street and say to herself, "Anything can happen. I could run into someone today who could change it all. Something could happen that would change my life." She kept just enough hopeful vibration going, that one day, it did all change. She now lives in an idyllic setting on a tropical island, in a beautiful home, with a loving husband and kids.

If you're already doing Divine Openings, this is just a reminder.

If you haven't let it in, we invite you to do so now. So many of us are having no recession, no financial difficulty, are hopeful and happy, and are bringing a high vibration to the planet.

Working On The Universe Is Even Harder Than Working On Yourself

2010-06-29T17:56:00.000-05:00

You all know that Divine Openings is not about work.

You know that it's not about working on yourself -- that it's about becoming who you really are, and work becomes unecessary. You know that it's about seeing the perfection that already is, not looking for things to fix, thus creating more of what is not wanted.

A Divine Openings Giver wrote recently and said she'd been doing "work on the Universe" and that it can get taxing.

Well, I guess so! That's like working on yourself times 6.7 billion times whatever else there is in the Universe.
I don't teach this or recommend it. Divine Presence runs the Universe just fine.

I wrote to her:

Always make sure not to sacrifice and let it get hard.....
For your Large Self things are never hard, it's only an unfolding.
Taxing or hard brings heaviness to the world instead of light.
When we get too serious about anything, it is giving our power away.

When it stops being about joy and gets into fixing and healing, we're creating brokenness and sickness.
It's a razor's edge.

We bring to the world what we're vibrating, and if we're vibrating doom or danger, that is what we're creating. When people sit and "work on" the world, they're often just radiating out what is wrong.

I've just never related well to fixing the world, which is evolving and not broken.

Frankly I never do sit and meditate for the poor broken world.
Or for "poor broken anyone". I don't see them poor and broken in the first place.
I see them as powerful beings, choosing to play the game of life how they want to play it.
Some people come here to live challenging adventures in this life.

If I were to sit and visualize what I want for other people, it feels like I'm trying to create for them.
Don't they get to do that?
I don't think we can or even should be able to create FOR other people.
They get to do that with their own free will.
My vision of utopia may not be theirs.
Some people want to be in wars and struggles. They like it.

When people come to me of their own free will and ask, I help them.
If I were asked to go to a Third World country and raise consciousness, I would say yes.
But create for them? No. That's their free will. They get to keep it.

I guess we all have our own approach.
I like to focus on liberating people and having them create what they do want.
Then they vibrate that instead of the old paradigm.

The other factor is that in almost every single case where I've seen a light worker get real wrapped up in fixing the world, it is invariably true that they need to get joyful within themselves first. Very often they are avoiding what they feel.

You don't need to work on the world.
Just get happy and act out of that joy.
Create out of that joy.
It will impact the world, without work.
And it respects other people's free will.

Does It Matter What I Eat Or Whether I Exercise?

2010-06-25T15:28:00.001-05:00

Theoretically, we can balance our physical bodies with vibration alone, but frankly, most of us are just not at that level yet. Most of us, including me, still need to eat healthy food and do things to stay physically fit to enjoy life to the maximum.

I find the bliss increases when energy is flowing through a limber, well-nourished, clean-feeling body.

Now, I'm no austere, fanatical health nut. But I do try to eat live, raw, fresh organic foods when I can, drink pure water, and skip the sugar, alcohol, and coffee most of the time. I eat natural meats without hormones or antibiotics. I avoid plastics, as it leaches chemicals into water and food, especially if it gets warm. I don't get vaccinations for myself or my animals.

I use whole-food nutrient supplements.

It all pays off.

But if I do eat chocolate, or have a drink or a cup of coffee occcasionally, I relish the experience. I enjoy it. I don't make it wrong. That would do more damage than the substance itself.

One day we'll get to the stage where we can eat or do anything we want and still be healthy. But I'm not there yet! I've even experimented with it to "test where I was." I went back to healthy eating and exercise.

Some teachers are saying it doesn't matter what you eat, but are fat and getting fatter! In those cases, believe your eyes, not your ears.

One interesting note: I've noticed a correlation: people who are overweight or even "physically dense" are more likely to have difficulty flowing their emotional energy fully (which will inhibit spiritual development) than people who are normal weight or "lighter of body." There is no such thing as a hard and fast rule, and this is not always the case, but when it is, it means spiritual progress and manifesting ability can be slowed. "Lightness" increases on many levels when the body lightens up!

The good news is that Divine Openings does help with the spiritual lightening up for almost everyone, even those with the "density challenge".... if they will stick to it even when the small self is urging them to bail out.

Divine Openings has helped with the physical lightening up for many. Once client wrote me just today saying that as she let go of some old patterns, she automatically began to lose weight. Her body stopped wanting the old foods, and the awakening innate Divine Intelligence in her started guiding her choices instead.

I actually hear this a lot. And guess what, it mostly happens when they are struggling with their weight. It just comes as they get happy and connected. Fat is usually a sign that the body's systems are not functioning optimally.

In the Level 2 Online Self-Paced Course, we go into depth about restoring yourself to physical wellbeing, and the Divine Openings in Level 2 have very powerful "healing" and wellbeing attunements.

Rave About It!!!

2010-06-24T09:53:00.000-05:00

What is even more powerful than gratitude?
More potent than appreciation?
More profound than giving thanks?

RAVE About It!
"Raising your vibration" used to be a nebulous concept. Those of you who have read my book know it can be as easy as reading the altimeter on your airplane. And you know that once you can use that altimeter to navigate your plane up into the higher altitudes, you become a more powerful creator.

Gratitude, giving thanks, and appreciation are pretty high altitudes, so what could possibly take you even higher? I've been calling it RAVING. Raving can take you to bliss.

Go on a spree of raving about what is good in your life. Talk it up, play it up, juice it up, feel it, and so magnify it. A client from the United Kingdom recently said, "Over here we call that 'going on about it'."

And most of the world is going on about what is wrong or bad. So go on about what's good! And on ... and on.

They call non-stop dance parties raves. My mom would say, "He just raved about your art." I love the word. It's dramatic.

"Raving about it" creates an updraft that swoops you up into high altitude, ecstatic feelings -- far higher than appreciation.

The practical value of this? Things that happen in your life match your vibration on that subject. Change your vibration on that subject, and you eventually change your results in that area of life.

You are literally a "vibration generator," always humming along, cranking out vibrations constantly. Raving has you emit enough wattage to light the east coast.

How do you rave? Easy. Just start talking about all the things you do love and appreciate. Get emotional about it, and juice it up until you can feel it in every cell of your body. Think of more and more things to add. With practice you'll get good at this and it becomes a habit. You'll be very powerful by that point.

"Well, you might say, that's easy enough. But how do you rave about something you're not so crazy about?" OK, let's say it's your job (or insert your challenge here ________.) Start with easy things you do appreciate to get your vibration up first. Then cross over into the area where your want to raise your vibration.

"I love this morning light, and my soft bed. A shower is so refreshing, and the smell of coffee... yum! Oh, my dog wags his tail like every morning is the best ever on the planet. Nothing like a big, long stretch to start the day. The flowers are blooming! How good to have eyes to see these colors. I do appreciate that I have a job that's near home. I love working with Phil. They do pay me on time. They're very stable. Wow, imagine the job I'll have next! It'll pay more, I'll have shorter hours!..."

What if it's a person who's tough to love. Appreciation vibrates at the same frequency as love. Why's that important? Because it's easier to muster a little specific appreciation than it is to conjure up love and light you don't authentically feel. And when you RAVE, your vibration soars even higher than appreciation and love. It's powerful.

The beauty of advanced states of consciousness is that you can generate vibrations at will, rather than being at the effect of other people and outer circumstances. This is going to keep increasing as you do Divine Openings.

Then you're the master of your reality. That's something to rave about.

From the previous post: Advanced take on these vibrations:

Vibrationally, gratitude is a medium-high vibration, giving thanks is a bit higher, appreciation is even higher than that.

Feeling these distinct energies will be good practice for you: feel how gratitude has some tinge of "I'm lesser than the entity who is giving this to me." When you're on your knees in gratitude, for instance, you are not feeling very powerful. You are "less than". There can even a hint of unworthiness in it.

Then feel the vibration of giving thanks. Again, it's usually as if you are looking "UP" to Heaven, rather than thanking a Larger aspect of yourself.

Now, there is nothing whatsoever wrong with any of this. But you are presumably here to go to higher levels of consciousness.

Appreciation has more of a feeling of equality to it, yes? When you appreciate something or someone, there's no sense of beholden-ness. There's no sense of you being more lowly. You appreciate as an equal would appreciate another equal. There's nothing you owe anyone for.

When we move into appreciation, we stop praying like beggars. We begin to declare what we want with authority, and know it's coming. We begin to look upon what is good with power. We feel powerful. We're looking at this world as the Creator does, with pride, awe, and wonder.

Raving is full out celebration. It moves you into bliss and ecstasy.

The Mind Can be a Wrong Seeking Missile...Sometimes

2010-06-23T15:11:00.000-05:00

The Wrong-Seeking Missile
Ever notice that the mind is a wrong-seeking missile? It looks for what is wrong, what is NOT yet here, what is lacking.

It does this funny thing (not so funny actually) I call "yebut".

You say, "I am doing so much better with money."
It says, "Yebut you're still in debt."

You say, "My sweetie brought me lunch."
It says, "Yebut he/she isn't into the spiritual life."

Sometimes, until we get that contraption quieted down, clients yebut everything they accomplish to smithereens!

Stop the heartbreak of the "yebuts!"

Overwhelm that wrong-seeking yebut machine with a barrage of appreciations, celebrations, acknowledgments, and noticing what IS good, IS here, and IS abundant, about you, everyone, and everything.

Then you'll feel so good you won't care what it says next.

I'm sending an appreciation zap with this blog post. Tune in and feeeeeeeeel it.

How Can I Make A Difference For Others?

2010-06-22T12:03:00.002-05:00

.... BY Minding My OWN Business.
by Lola Jones

Our families, friends, and associates are often the ones we want most to help, but find it to be the hardest. I found that rather than trying to teach, inspire,
or "help" them, that just loving them, listening, and being my Large
Self worked wonders.

In other words, we need to mind our own business.
Who we are speaks so much louder than what we say.

Drop a hint here and there about what you're learning, and some will
get curious, ask questions, or even eventually
come on the journey with you.

If they don't spark, let it go, and love, love, love them.
Isn't that the idea anyway?
To be loving?

Don't say things you know they will reject.
Say things they can relate to and agree with to build bridges.

If we can't love 'em and appreciate them as they are, therein lies
the problem. They can feel the judgment halfway around the world.
They know we think something's wrong with them.
That doesn't feel good, to either person.
Can you feel it?
It's the opposite of unconditional love.

My definition of unconditional love is
"I will be happy no matter what you are doing or not doing."

Now of course, getting up to love on the Altimeter is a process, so go easy on
yourself till you're there. Appreciation is the same frequency, and it's easier to do,so think of one thing to appreciate about them, and tell them.
Suddenly you get smarter, and easier to follow.

The best test: When you do Divine Openings or some other spiritual
path that actually works, and you are LIVING IT rather than just talking about it,
people around you begin to transform very quickly without your doing anything.
If they're not becoming more their Large Selves in your presence,
don't work harder on them -- go back to who you're being.

With Divine Openings, people around you shift, often in a matter of weeks,
when you're being it. It takes no effort on your part. You don't have to say a word. It's best if you do absolutely nothing and just let go.

They may even zoom "beyond" where you are.... an interesting
phenomenon that I talk more about in Level One.

You know that your vibration affects the collective consciousness
-- not so much by what you do, as by how you vibrate, by what is in
your heart and body.

Are you vibrating love and freedom, security and bliss?
By achieving your own liberation you will cause many to rise in
vibration, without doing a thing. If you focus too much on others,
you get distracted from what counts -- YOUR vibration.

Your family is your most immediate collective. You'll see them
affected first. Next is your community and your co-workers.
Start at home and at work. When you are able to love them
unconditionally, then you can successfully step up to larger stuff.

Divine Openings helps people get there quite easily.
All you have to do is commit, relax, listen within, let go,
and The Divine does the heavy lifting.

Then your enlightenment quite effortlessly spreads out in
concentric rings from you.

Love,
Lola

"Don't love the person, but love the divine within the person, tolerate the earthly, and go around the demonic. Whenever your task demands it of you, you must be able to leave without delay the person you love the most, because you must always remember that the lovable characteristics in him are GOD, not the person himself. The person is only an instrument for the manifestation of God. You can find and love the same manifestation in other people too. Love God in everyone; then you will not be attached to anyone. This not having ties must never be allowed to turn into general indifference and apathy concerning people around you."

Feeling Appreciation

Just thought I would post an audio I just made about feeling the vibration of appreciation.
The appreciation vibration is the same vibration as unconditional love. You will begin to recognize this when it shows up for you more and more.

If you like the audio and would like one specifically made for you, e-mail me for prices. They are not on my website.

Being On Purpose

2009-09-29T16:12:00.001-05:00

These last couple of months, I have been very aware of how I get off track in my life. My auto-pilot is working very well. It ever so slightly puts me back on my habitual course with unbelievable persuasion techniques. These past couple of weeks, I have really been in observer mode and have witnessed myself go off track. It's like I'm watching a scary movie and I'm telling myself "Don't open the shower curtain!!!!", but I open it anyway. It is amusing and at the same time annoying, which is good for me. This let me realize that I was ready for it to permanently change even if all of me is not in the majority on that thinking. It has helped me become VERY on purpose in my actions and being.
Where in your life are you on auto-pilot and you don't even know it?

Life-Coaching can really help you get clear on those areas.

18 Spiritual Myths That Hurt You And Hold You Back

2009-07-08T10:59:00.005-05:00

Here is a wonderful article from Lola Jones with Divine Openings.

Here are some common myths to bust free from:

1. Your will vs. God's will?
When you are living as your Large Self, there is no difference in your will and God's will. Your will IS God's will. This also relates to...

2. God is some authority figure who tells you what to do or what is right.
I hear a lot of people saying, "I'm supposed to do this or that mission on Earth" or "If it's meant to be, then I'll get to" or "I want to do God's will." You co-create with the Universe! You're not a pawn who is moved around the chessboard. God is not your "boss" or the big parent in the sky who says you can have the car keys, or not. You have free will, so use it. Decide what you want. God, your Large Self, the entire Universe, lines it up for you. Even if what you want is your small self's idea, you still can have it -- God isn't judgmental like humans. But when you're living as your Large Self you have more power, things come faster and easier, and the things you want will work out better for you and everyone else. Want! Ask! Create! Enjoy!

3. Humility is the mark of a true spiritual person.
Not necessarily. You are a magnificent being. Express it, be it, know it, radiate it. Why hide your light? Where did that idea come from? Now, when the small self thinks it's God, it can cause you some trouble. But jettison this false humility thing. Forget what others think. That's an old-paradigm myth. Very often it's unworthiness in saint's clothing.

4. Heaven and Hell. Heaven and Hell are conveniently located right here on Earth, in your back yard.
Choose which one you want to live in, and let go of anything that takes you somewhere else.

5. Being good.
This is one of the biggest myths, that you get some kind of points for being "good" or "spiritual". Again, that is a human perspective that says you have something to achieve or earn. In God perspective, you're here to experience, you have free will, and you can do anything you want without judgment. Now, here's the kicker: Up in the higher vibrations, being your Large Self, you wouldn't hurt anyone anyway. But neither would you have to sacrifice for anyone. How about this? Live in the higher vibrations because it feels good and works better, not to earn imaginary points. High vibration is its own best reward.

6. Unworthiness.
Spiritual people are too often the most plagued by unworthiness, probably due to centuries of conditioning by religions and leaders who didn't want people to know how powerful they were, and who wanted to be in control. It's hard to control magnificent, powerful, worthy beings.

7. You gotta deal with karma.
Grace wipes all that out. Karma only existed anyway due to man's feelings of unworthiness and guilt, which reside at the bottom of the Altimeter (explained in depth in the book). God doesn't chalk up your wrongs! Man does that to himself. Haven't you ever had a bad thought about someone, and instantly stubbed your toe? If you choose to believe in karma, good luck. You have millions of lifetimes to pay off and work out. See you in a few thousand years. You could be having a good time.

8. You shouldn't be selfish.
Every creature created by the Creator has built-in self interest, and this is a good thing. Some humans make that wrong, and label it ego. Most of the great art, music, innovations, institutions, charities, and inventions sprung from those with healthy egos. Those with no drive to express their genius were often relegated to obscurity, and so their genius was never recognized, nor benefited from.

We've been told doing what we want is selfish, and to sacrifice, and that somehow that works out. Master your mind and your small self, and put it to work for YOU, and humanity will just naturally be served.

When people tell me large corporations are bad and greedy, I ask them "How many jobs do they provide? How many paychecks do they pay out?" People could go start their own businesses if that was what they really wanted or were willing to do. But most choose to work for someone else who'll bear all the risk, and provide them structure and a steady income. Is that so wrong?

9. The meek shall inherit the Earth.
I asked within about this. What I got was, "The non-resistant shall inherit the Earth," those who are minding their own business and not fighting or pushing against what others are doing. They will find Heaven on Earth. I promise you the less resistant you get (higher on the Instrument Panel), the more you'll feel like you do own the Earth, and really will be able to do what you've been hearing about: create your own reality.

10. The material world is bad or inferior to the spiritual world.
Then what the heck are you doing here? Did you take a wrong turn at the 11th dimension? You came here to experience the delights of the senses and the slowed down energies of the physical -- to play and create here in this special environment of greater contrasts. To pretend you can die. To pretend you have limits so you can overcome them, and remember who you really are. To smell the scent of dry grass on a summer's day (as I did this morning). For the past 23 years, my intention has been Heaven On Earth. Not to get out of here. I came here on purpose!

11. Misunderstanding what materialism is.
Believing that money is scarce is buying into material limits -- even more than the rich person who believes money is just a tool and is no big deal. Being obsessed with money, even the lack of it, is materialism. The person who works too hard for too little, and has no time to be the magnificent being they are, makes money their God. Believing in your physical/material limitations is materialistic.

12. Be in the world but not of it?
Live here on Earth to the fullest, but don't buy into the material illusions of limitations. Know that you are a magnificent creator. Even in the face of challenges, know who you are. You know for sure that there is no true danger in all the Universe when you get this, deep down.

13. Spiritual or good people cannot also be rich.
To cut to the chase, first of all everything is spiritual. There is nothing that is not. Money is spiritual. Dirt is spiritual. So stop throwing it all into two convenient boxes: spiritual and not spiritual. God doesn't care.

Related: "Easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle." It can be tempting to put all of one's faith in the material when one has a lot of material stuff. One can become it's slave rather than it's master. Remember that your Large Self created all of it. Assign the power to your Large Self (God) rather than to the "stuff". The stuff is only stuff, and tools. Worship the Giver, not the gifts. Value the Giver, who is permanent, more than the gifts, which are not.

14. Spiritual teachers cannot be passionate about worldly things and worldly endeavors.
There is this weird stereotype that spiritual teachers, if they're the real thing, do nothing else. They wear robes and meditate all day. Not so. I know one who has traveled the world and taught for decades who is soon retiring to raise bees. I LOVE living a regular mundane life, and teaching quietly from the ranch.

My first spiritual teacher in 1985 was amazing on every level. He still travels the world speaking, piloting his own jet, having earned his commercial license at age 13. (He said, "No one asked how old I was.") He sat with hippies and laughed as they did acid in the 60's, then showed them how to get high without it. Once he took apart an old Mercedes down to the last nut and bolt, cleaned the parts by hand, and put it back together again. He did computer animations for fun back when that was new, in the mid-eighties. He has a giant fire hose he uses for the Hindu Holi celebration. A raging fire swept his Malibu coast neighborhood, and he personally got out there and saved all the neighbors homes by soaking them with the fire hose. He writes, plays with his kids, adores his wife (a former flight attendant he met at age 16 back when he flew on airlines) and expresses his genius in many, many ways.

He was born enlightened; I wasn't, but he was my first inspiration, and I've followed his lead, and have always been multi-creative. Since The Presence woke up in me, it wants to express in so many more ways than spiritual teaching... from business, to inventing, to art, graphics, music, internet marketing genius, decorating, writing... the list is long and getting longer. And my gift is teaching how to have all this work in the physical world. There will soon be business courses on the site. My creativity and productivity is out of control. This website is a virtual world I've created, and it never stops.

I LOVE, adore, and relish mundane, everyday life. I love simple things like cooking, working on the computer, and walking in nature. It's why I am here, not to try to ascend somewhere else or achieve something, or live a jet set life (although I could if that was my true heart's desire).

I'm HERE....
LIVING....
NOW.

15. If someone said it in a book it's true.
Part of the waking up game here on Earth is the hide and seek from yourself, including the red herrings and the dead ends. To see how effective a path is, look at the students. Popularity is not necessarily a good gauge. For some strange reason, many flock to paths and follow them for decades without achieving any degree of liberation, either emotionally, spiritually, mentally, or materially.

Esther Hicks, who has channeled Abraham for over 20 years now, has said, "There's never a crowd on the leading edge." Her work is just now breaking into the big time. People are ready for it and things like Divine Openings. For many years she spoke to small rooms of people, like I do now. Just about the time you see a very big crowd gather, it can be a pretty good indicator it's no longer leading edge.

Myth 16. Once you discover the power of spirit you must quit your job and become a healer or teacher.
Divine Openings seems to make people clear about what their true path is, and they either rekindle their passion for their current gig (they weren't there by accident) or find one they love that really suits them. Few of those who complete the 5 Day Silent Intensive end up getting guidance to be Divine Openings Givers. Most get who they really are, and find the most authentic way for their real gift to come through, whether in construction, sales, or as a school teacher.

Click to read what a California teacher did with Divine Openings after attending the 5 Day Silent Intensive. Her true calling is obviously to be a school teacher! Another grad gives Divine Facials, and the recipients get a Divine Opening as they get their yummy, nurturing facial.

There are so many ways to help and contribute, and if everyone were a healer, there'd be no one to build websites, create music, fix cars, teach our kids, or do accounting. Starving healers are in the wrong profession for the wrong reasons. Guidance can be interpreted in many ways, and "heal people" doesn't always mean "be a healer". By the way, your ability to hear and interpret guidance accurately increases if you do and stick to Divine Openings. Follow your passions rather than listening to others. I know psychics who tell everyone who comes to their table that they will become a healer or author, or that they're "supposed" to be this or that.

Myth 17. More Is Better -
There's a common myth that the more spiritual stuff you learn, books you read, seminars you take, and the more meditations you attend, the higher you'll go, and the more help you'll get. Sorry, folks, I actually find it to be the opposite. The people I see get the freest the fastest are those who come to me without any, or very little, previous metaphysical knowledge or training. Then when they "get it" they stop working on it, and go live life.

So often, people who have done it all are so saturated with stuff, mixing so much stuff, muddled with so much stuff, so conditioned to seek and never find, are the toughest to convince to let go and let it be incredibly simple. Thank God Divine Openings performs miracles! They know so much it's hard to move into this pure, direct place that Divine Openings can take you when you do let go.

Before I did my 21 days of blessed silence, communing only with Divine Presence within in India, speaking to no human, I had already made a powerful decision: to forget and let go of everything I knew. Deep within I knew that all that past stuff, bless it, had gotten me to "here", but no farther, so I needed to let go of it. I knew when I came home, anything I needed would still be there, but for sure, most of it, including boxes of books, ended up in the recycle bin. I needed that like a bird needs a hang glider.

That is one reason these spiritual myths are so clear since then. My greatest gift is the ability to let go and let The Divine do 99% of what I "do" (or don't do). I don't know how it works, and don't care to know. The people who know the most stuff are usually not the happiest, free-est and most powerful, in their work or in their own lives. They can't touch you and give it to you, because they are in the way.

The greatest power,
whether you're wanting to free yourself or others,
is to get out of the way.

As I watch students' progress, the ones who keep on Hoovering up more stuff after Divine Openings don't do as well. You really don't need more knowledge, more techniques, and more stuff. That's a trick the small self uses to keep you in bondage. We keep getting upgrades, but there's no need to work at it or seek for it.

The mind is a powerful thing, and it is not your best friend until it's trained to be your servant. It needs to get out of the way.

I can work with anyone, and get them free and clear if they're willing to stop seeking and focus. I've watched people who were just healed disbelieve they're healed even though their body is obviously doing things they couldn't do before. Some get disoriented when a lifelong issue is gone.

Myth 18. The Dilution Effect -
Related to the above, mixing modalities is like taking a glass of fine aged wine.... and adding brandy, whiskey, gin, and beer to it. It doesn't get better, it's a mess.
