Feelings

I finally get it. It all comes down to feelings… and living them out fully. I have been listening to Gregg Braden, author and speaker, on You Tube. He has very interesting points and speaks about the traditions of the indigenous people. He talks a bit about technology and its place in evolving human consciousness. He also speaks about feelings. He mentions that it is important to not want things… but rather to feel as though it has already happened. Here are two You Tube videos of Gregg Braden…

 

 

 

I just realized that when people want things, it is not the thing that they truly want. It is actually the feeling they get when they get what they want. This is what Gregg Braden is saying. His lectures stress this and he indicates throughout his interviews that it is our feelings that create our life experience. This is true.

Feelings are the only things that are identical in experience from one person to another. Happiness is happiness, no matter who is experiencing it. Same for anger. Anger is anger regardless of who you are. The only things that differentiates from person to person is their reaction to the feeling. A person’s actions when experiencing happiness or any other feeling, is personal.

Here is a list of some possible feelings. I have put this together because my exercise is to identify other people’s feelings to better communicate and relate to them…

I cut and pasted this list from a site I found on Google. There is also a list of negative feelings… let’s just stick to the positive ones for now.

Wanting

Wanting events to happen, doesn’t make them happen. When events are out of your control, question your desires instead. Getting upset that things are not going as you want does not make for a pleasant experience. We are not meant to be unhappy.

The State Of Love

You cannot be in love with anything or anyone. Love is not something that you get from things or people. Love is not something you attain. You cannot get love.

Love is a state. You simply are in a state of love, or you are not. Just like you are either happy or you are not. It is one or the other.

When you are living in a state of love you are living your natural truth. Essentially, you are love. This is what makes it feel so good, so right. Being in love is exactly that… being in Love.

It doesn’t matter what comes up in your life, easily go with the flow of whatever is happening. Don’t react as if this or that shouldn’t be happening. Act instead. Act consciously too. For example, watch your inner turmoil begin as you choose to simply watch and allow the event, for whatever it may be. Feel the essence of what is really there instead. Leave spaces empty and watch how uncomfortable you will begin to feel. Inside you will meet your fear, a ripping or tearing… let it be. Go through it. Feel it completely. Don’t fight it, just live it through. See the difference in you. Know the power you hold. Your impulse to fill a void has been subsided and your fear of living has now died. Now you are truly living.

Feel whatever is there. Use your senses to stay connected to your life. Forget about your memories and thoughts. Forget about trying to figure things out. Forget about it all.

Instead… pay attention. See the opportunities as they arise. Simply watch. Know what is available to you at all times. Know the moment it appears. Your life is beginning to change in this instant because you are changing. You are changing who you are by allowing life to happen as it wishes.

The only control you need is the control you have over your self. Being in control is having power. Use this power to become an enlightened person. Observe yourself… from the movements you make to the expression on your face. Know what you are doing the moment you are doing it. Become aware of yourself. Know that you are in a room, know that you are sitting, or standing. Feel your body, feel your presence.

Don’t ever get discouraged. That is resistance. Simply realize that this moment is new, and so are you. Begin anew.

MobileMe Account Closed

Through Apple I had a MobileMe account and was able to set up second website. Now I have cancelled the account and the site is no longer available.

Quoting Vernon Howard

The present moment is all there is; there isn’t anything else. Reality is whatever thought, or feeling, or event we experience now. We may think about an unhappy past or hopeful future, but we think about them now. Yesterday and tomorrow do not exist except as this moment’s memory, or anticipation. To try to live in them creates illusion and conflict. Happiness is  truly now or never.

I put together a song using GarageBand ‘08. I wasn’t able to get the file in an acceptable format for WordPress yet…

Mississauga

I want to live in Mississauga, or even Brampton again.

Synchronicity

What exactly is synchronicity?

According to one online dictionary it is the simultaneous occurrence of events that appear significantly related but have no discernible causal connection. Though as I have recently discovered, there can be a discernible causal connection… you, the interpreter.

Another online dictionary describes synchronicity as being a coincidence of events that seem to be meaningfully related. That said, they are no longer coincidences then, no?

Let’s examine what a coincidence is…

One online dictionary states that it is a remarkable concurrence of events or circumstances without apparent causal connection.

A second online dictionary coins it differently by saying it is a striking occurrence of two or more events at one time apparently by mere chance.

I understand this not because of what the words say but because of personal experience. I say synchronicity is when the coincidences are occurring in insurmountable amounts for a long period of time. The feeling that this generates is overwhelming and can make your stomach queasy and your mind bewildered. The feeling is one that lifts your heart like when riding a roller coaster. Or maybe you can understand it when I say butterflies in the stomach, and lots of them fluttering very quickly all over the place!

Love

Love is a state of being. Love is not something you can find in the outside world. Only when you look within can you connect with the love you were born to live.
