How Much Free Will Do You Really Have in Life?

There is an overwhelming amount of self-help books on the market; hundreds of success seminars exist and still, every year, our society continues to experience more and more problems. This is certainly the case when you look at recent statistics on divorce, health and money related issues, the last one topping the list.

If you have free will why would you decide to lose your job, undergo a bankruptcy, have an accident or create any other negative circumstances?

There must be something here that is missing . . .

Some people claim that they control everything in their lives by free will. There are others that believe that free will does not exist, as everything is predetermined by God or some form of higher power.

What Do You Believe?

If you observe how people govern — or fail to govern — their lives, it turns out that we all register on various points along the scale, starting with free will and self-determination on one end and ranging to no free will and ruled by God or some other higher power on the other end.

Everybody claims to know his or her own place on the free will continuum. This is really interesting as it demonstrates somehow that either most of us simply don't know how much free will we exercise, or that there is simply no basic rule applicable.

Exercising free will means that your decision is not based on any circumstances or influences from the past or future. Nor is your free will based on moral issues — and absolutely not on personal preferences.

When you closely examine your decisions you will soon see that they are indeed based mostly on existing facts and personal preferences. So how much free will do you really exercise?

What if you follow your intuition or go with your gut feeling? Are these based on free will? Where does intuition come from? Where does your gut feeling come from? You can see that the limits of free blur rather quickly when compared to most non-rational processes.

Your level of free will is determined by the state of your consciousness.

When you base a decision on intuition, you are really exercising free will because you are giving a certain higher level or your consciousness the power to rule. Intuition is free from any indoctrination brought about by pat forms of beliefs and concepts.

That's why success in life has a lot to do with your spiritual path. True success is far beyond what most of society focuses on. Don't let yourself be pushed into a box by shortsighted claims that money and beauty are all there are to success. Success in your life is not dependent on how much money you have, where you live or if you are in a relationship.

Success is not feeling happy; it is feeling happy about who you are.

Creating Goals Beyond Yourself

Most people start out creating their goals on a physical level — that's fine, we all do. However, to get further into the power of manifesting you want to learn what is beyond what you call 'That's Me'.

‘That's Me’ is just an assortment of beliefs and experiences that you have collected over time. Compared to who you truly are, it is merely the tip of the iceberg.

To expand your level of control you need to step aside of your usual cause-and-effect thinking. Pay more attention to coincidences. Allow yourself to make spontaneous decisions. Connect and listen to your heart and follow its guidance when it comes to life decisions. Simplify how you live and reduce stress as much as possible. Stress is the biggest challenge in allowing your being to reach a higher potential of awareness.

Manifesting with Higher Purpose

When setting up your intentions and dreams, try to get to the point of what you really want, and not what you think you need. Think about what would be the highest purpose you could fulfill in your lifetime. Imagine — beyond anything that you may think is possible!

When you start doing this, magic happens in your life!

On this day of your life, Penelope Josefine [or you],
I believe God wants you to know...

...that there's no abiding success without commitment.

Anthony Robbins said that, and he was right.

Commitment is the key to achievement.

How committed are you to your future, to your goals,

to your relationship, to your self?

Do you want to be healthier, or do you just say you do?

Do you want to be happier, or do you just say you do?

Do you want to be nicer, or do you just say you do?

Do you want to be more patient, or do you just say you do?

Do you want to be lighter, or do you just say you do?

What do you really want...and who are you kidding about that?

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, Penelope Josefine [or you],
I believe God wants you to know...
..that it is time to move into unchartered lands.

If you want to do something you have never done before,
you have to do something you have never done before.

If you want to go somewhere you have never gone before,
you have to go somewhere you have never gone before.

You cannot do something new by doing old things. If
you want your life to change, you have to change your
life. So go ahead. It's safe. And it's also...about time.

Love your friend

Another letter from Neale Donald Walsch

2009-02-28T11:35:00.003+01:00

On this day of your life, Penelope Josefine, I believe God wants you to know...

....that it sometimes looks like "one thing after the other,"

but really, it is Blessing After Blessing.

I know, I know...you don't experience it that way. But

that's because you don't see it that way. In this business

of life, "What you see is what you get."

If you think you are looking at struggle, struggle is what

you will experience. If you decide that you are looking

at a gift (even if you can't see it clearing in this exact

moment), a gift is what you will get. Just wait. You'll

see. I mean that literally. You will see.

Love, Your Friend....

On this day of your life, Penelope Josefine [or YOU],

I believe God wants you to know...

....that "Why?" is the most useless question in the universe.

The only question with any meaning is "What?"

Asking "Why is this happening?" can only disempower

you. Asking "What do I want to make of this?" does

exactly the opposite.

Here is a great secret: the Why of anything is to produce

the What of everything.

Think about that for a moment. In fact, think about it for

the rest of the day.

Love, Your Friend....

Rumi - Poems for the soul - Madonna reads "Bittersweet"

2009-02-07T15:39:00.011+01:00

Mawlānā Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Balkhī or Jalāl ad-Dīn Muḥammad Rūmī (30 September 1207 – 17 December 1273).
Known to the English-speaking world simply as Rumi.

One of his many beautiful love poems:

Bittersweet

In my Hallucination
I saw my Beloved's flower garden

In my vertigo
In my dizziness
In my drunken haze
whirling and dancing
like a spinning wheel
I saw myself
as the source of existence

I was there in the beginning
and I was the spirit of love

Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
and the memory of love
And only the sorrow

I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy

And my love says

Look at me and hear me
because I am here just for that

I am your moon
and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden
and your water too

I have come all this way
eager for you
without shoes or shawl

I want to laugh
to kill all your worries
to love you
to nourish you

Oh Sweet Bitterness!
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I too have been covered with thorns

I got this from Neale Donald Walsch and thought it was something to share : )

2009-02-03T14:30:00.006+01:00

On this day of your life, Penelope Josefine,

I believe God wants you to know...

...that getting down on yourself is not the answer.

Why would you do to you what God would never do to you?

The few things you do not "get right" (whatever that is)

cannot compare to the things at which you excel.

Do you know that? You are kind, you are caring, you are

generous, you are sensitive, you are compassionate, you

are forgiving, you are more accepting than you know,

and more loving than you will give yourself credit for.

Now...what else is there?

Try to understand this: You are doing just fine. Better

than 'just fine.' You are excelling. You are magnificent,

you are wonderful! And God loves you to pieces!

Love, Your Friend....

A Christmas Boost From Jennifer Shepherd

2007-12-22T00:29:00.000+01:00

If you're stumped about creating a prosperity affirmation, don't worry - you're not alone!

When people ask me how to go about creating affirmations, money is always a hot topic. After all, who among us couldn't use a money boost? Finances are an intensely-charged subject for everyone.

Each person's definition of prosperity is different, so when I work with coaching people, I guide them through three important steps.

1) First I ask them: What conditions in your life would allow you to feel prosperous? Is there a specific amount of money that you need, or is it more about having a nice home, a decent car to drive, and plenty of food on the table? When you work on a prosperity affirmation, it's important to affirm the feeling of being prosperous and to imagine the situations in your life which would allow you to experience this feeling.

2) Then, after the person has identified what situations would allow them to feel prosperous, I ask them: What words carry this same feeling for you? What words have a feeling of prosperity? Some sample words might be: joy, peace, flow, happiness, plenty, abundance, relaxation, emotional well-being, luxury, or limitless supply. At this stage it's important to find words that have a real spark to them, that light your inner fire. It's only words that light your inner fire which will carry a true energy of prosperity as you create your prosperity affirmation.

3) After words have been identified that have the right feeling to them, I ask the person to construct some sample sentences using these powerful words. Sometimes you need to play around with grammar and try different nouns, verbs, and adjectives. If you use something that seems unnatural and the words feel stiff or weird to you, they won't work. The words need to feel good to you. Some sample sentence variations might be: "I am experiencing abundance at all times, in all ways." "I have plenty of money." "My home is safe and my family is healthy and well." "I am so happy that financial abundance has manifested." "I attract abundance at all times." "I am a money magnet." Each of these phrases works nicely as a prosperity affirmation, but feel free to use these as a take-off point to create prosperity affirmations of your own.

After you've found a nice prosperity affirmation that really "clicks," it's time to get to work! Start using the affirmation each day. Repeat it silently to yourself while you're in the shower, say it aloud as you drive to work, or write it down in a journal or notebook. Put the prosperity affirmation at the forefront of your mind and bring your attention to it throughout the day.

After you use your prosperity affirmation regularly for a few weeks, it might be time to release it. I always remind people not to "overwork" their affirmations. If an affirmation starts to feel heavy and you have a resistance to using it, it's probably time to let it go and release it to the Universe. Set it aside for a while. Let the mysterious power of the subconscious mind go to work and give your waking mind a break.

Before long, you'll be noticing people, places, and situations that are leading you into a more abundant and prosperous manner of living. Pay attention to these opportunities. They are all signs of the power of your intention, and they are working to bring about your prosperity affirmation and help it manifest on the physical plane.

After you start experiencing more prosperity, you'll know for yourself how to create affirmations that will work in every area your life. And you'll start living the limitless life you were always meant to live!

A powerful question

2007-11-22T00:24:00.001+01:00

"Who would you be without your story?"

Byron Katie

Huna Ho'oponopono - To make right exercise

2007-10-31T11:45:00.000+01:00

Ho'oponopono means to make right. Essentially, it means to make it right with the ancestors, or to make right with the people with whom you have relationships. In Huna they believe that the original purpose of Ho'oponopono was to correct the wrongs that had occurred in someone's life including Hala (to miss the thing aimed for, or to err, to disobey) and Hewa (to go overboard or to do something to excess) which were illusions, and even 'Ino (to do harm, implying to do harm to someone with hate in mind), even if accidental.

This description is by no means a complete training in how to do Ho'oponopono. While appropriate to do for yourself, for yours and others safety, it should not be done with someone else without training.

For example, let's say your child hurt another child intentionally. If asked, then the one who was hurt would forgive the other immediately, because it is inappropriate for anyone to carry guilt any longer than they had to, if it were not necessary.

This is called the Hawaiian Code of Forgiveness, and it's an important thought, because when we forgive others, who are we forgiving? Ourselves, of course.

In Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), there is a presupposition, "People are only doing the best they can with the resources they have available." If you've heard that before, it has to do with forgiveness. Think about it. As you do consider that you are included in "people."

In the Eastern traditions, too, there is a real tradition of being aligned with and cleaning up relations with the ancestors. In Japan, China, as well as the Hawaiian tradition, it is thought to be important to align and clean up any past problems that you've had in relationships, especially with relatives.

At the same time, perhaps there are family patterns you do not want. Certainly you have heard the saying, "We just don't do that in our family," or "That's the way it is in our family." What happens then, is that certain generational themes get passed along in families, like sadness or any number of different traits. Ho'oponopono will allow you to clean this up.

THEORY: We carry inside us as parts of the Unconscious Mind, all the significant people in our lives. (These parts of us often look very much like Carl Jung's archetypes.) Ho'oponopono makes it "all right" with them. The process of Ho'oponopono is to align with and clean up our genealogy as well as to clean up our relationships with other people in our lives.

The Process of Ho'oponopono:
Bring to mind anyone with whom you do not feel total alignment or support, etc.
In your mind's eye, construct a small stage below you
Imagine an infinite source of love and healing flowing from a source above the top of your head (from your Higher Self), and open up the top of your head, and let the source of love and healing flow down inside your body, fill up the body, and overflow out your heart to heal up the person on the stage. Be sure it is all right for you to heal the person and that they accept the healing.
When the healing is complete, have a discussion with the person and forgive them, and have them forgive you.
Next, let go of the person, and see them floating away. As they do, cut the aka cord that connects the two of you (if appropriate). If you are healing in a current primary relationship, then assimilate the person inside you.
Do this with every person in your life with whom you are incomplete, or not aligned.
The final test is, can you see the person or think of them without feeling any negative emotions. If you do feel negative emotions when you do, then do the process again.

What is the art of forgiveness anyway?

2007-10-20T21:37:00.000+01:00

What is the art of forgiveness other than being able to let go of the hope or the expectation that the past could or should have been different.

By embracing this action one can fully understand that there is a lesson or a gift in everything we encounter on our path.

True forgiveness happens when we let ourselves of the hook reclaiming the power we gave away when we formed this particular bond to our past.

By forgiving ourselves and others, we seize the opportunity to start anew with the forgiven and raise our energy level.

This is true empowerment.
