Putting the Law of Attraction to Work Part 2

In the last post, I criticized the commonly understood definition of "abundance" as being primarily about wealth and health. While there is nothing wrong with desiring those things, this approach appeals to the ego-mind as opposed to the soul or higher self. Since selling the LOA has become a business model, I suppose it's natural to gear the pitch toward the ego.

There is nothing wrong with having money, but a surprising number of people believe that there is, at least above a certain amount. They tend to lose sight of the fact that obsession with not having too much money is not morally superior to obsession with having it. Obsession with it either way is a construct of the ego, and therein is the problem.

Just to be clear, this blog focuses on "The Fully Actualized Life", and material abundance is certainly an important subset of this. However, rather than focusing on the goals as the ego-mind might define them, the Fully Actualized approach takes a more integrated view of body, mind and spirit. The abundant life balances between all three. Life on Earth is really about the soul's journey, so it makes sense to look at this from the perspective of the soul.

I am actively working on applying the principles of "The Fully Actualized Life" to my own life. This blog is about sharing my thoughts and inspiration on this, but I also intend to discuss my own application of these ideas. I certainly don't want to be promoting a theory that doesn't work for me.

At this point, I will share a bit of my own personal experience:

Achieving financial abundance has been a personal goal of mine for a long time. While generally always experiencing that my needs were met, I believed firmly in the Law of Scarcity. My parents and grandparents lived through the Great Depression, and their struggles to eke out survival were deeply engraved in their psyche. It's understandable that my ideas about money were inherited from their experience.

The Law of Scarcity holds that success can only come from working hard, and that's only if you are fortunate enough to have a job. Also, it's rare to really enjoy your work. You essentially sell your time to The Man and endure stressful working conditions in exchange for a pay check. You may occasionally think of other things you would much rather be doing with your time, but just forget about that. You are a wage slave. Too bad if you are too tired and drained when you get home to do anything else - life wasn't meant to be a "bed of roses". If this all seems unpalatable, just remember that the wolf is howling just outside of your door. People without jobs can tell you a much more dismal story, so suck it up and accept it!

Then one day a magical thought popped into my head. I had been reading some teaching on the LOA by Abraham-Hicks. The teaching suggested that you can have anything you desire! Really? I suddenly wondered if that meant I could manifest an alternate way to achieve an income. Radical thought, that! Could I actually discover a way to "own my own time", and do things in life that I find fulfilling, rather than things "The Man" wants me to do?

I wrote down a list of goals, and began to focus on them with the intent of manifesting them. Top of the list was an alternate means of achieving an income that would allow more freedom. The LOA teaching said that you can't focus on what you don't like, or on your lack of what you want. This part proved to be extremely hard. Each day I reluctantly got into the car and drove to work, wondering how long it would take to change my situation. It took many years of struggling with this before I realized why it was so hard for me. In a word: Baggage.

The Law of Scarcity was a belief system that I had subscribed to early in life. LOA doctrine teaches that old beliefs that are contrary to your goals must be dropped and replaced with positive beliefs. This wasn't so hard for me on the conscious level; The LOA made sense on an intellectual level, and I read convincing stories of others having success with it. 

But Abraham also said that feelings have a strong role to play in manifestation. It makes sense to feel good once the goals are manifest, but how can you do that when you are still experiencing the same old grind? This is the same conundrum I had stumbled over in my younger days in church - I was taught that God will grant your desire when you pray, but only if you believe in it first. Since the thing I was praying about was inevitably an issue I was fearful about, the strong feelings of fear that persisted must mean that I still doubted. How can you not doubt when you feel afraid? But doubting means you won't get what you pray for, so you have reason to fear!

Eventually things began to change. An opportunity came along to become a freelance contractor, with my former employer supplying a reasonably solid amount of work. I was quite fearful of giving up a guaranteed paycheck, but this arrangement allowed me to ease into independence with baby steps. It provided some flexibility in time management, and allowed me to work at home.

Around the same time, I met Marie (another item on the manifestation list), and later the vision developed between us for Earth & Water Wellness. It became apparent that this was to be my ultimate destination, a manifestation inspired by my original list of goals some 10 years earlier.

Still I was troubled by the fact that money only flowed when I worked hard on consulting projects. Pouring myself into things my soul desires, such as writing and our wellness business, didn't bring in much money. I keep reminding myself that following my soul's desires shouldn't result in poverty.

I began to look at the issue of emotional baggage, and how the unconscious mind plays a huge role in directing a person's thoughts. I realized that deep down inside, I felt very insecure. I also lacked self-confidence, although this had been overcome at times while achieving success in my career as a programmer. Still, my success was tied to the notion of working for others. It was (and still is) very difficult to believe that I could do something on my own that would result in financial success.

My current thrust is on clearing the baggage once and for all. It turns out that during bouts of anxiety and insecurity, my root and crown chakras are closed. It's difficult to manifest under these conditions;  thus energy work and meditation are an essential part of this process.

I tell myself daily that Source is infinite, and material things are just energy manifest in physical form. That there is no shortage in Source, and we are connected to it. That if we could just live in the present moment, the soul knows how to manifest its needs. That the LOA really works, and has a solid basis in the physics of how reality operates.

There are several other insights that are working for me. More on this later...

Putting the Law of Attraction to Work

The "Law of Attraction" (LOA) works. Not because of some esoteric woo-woo principle. Not due to following some specific formula laid out by a high-priced success guru. The LOA works because (1) The universe is full of raw, potential energy, and (2) because we are conscious beings that create our reality as a natural matter of course. It's quite automatic and happens daily, wherein we attract a reality that matches our predominant thoughts and emotions.

The most convincing proof that the LOA works is the fact that we are all already living in a reality  that we created and shaped. We each drew up blueprints before birth that govern the path of our life. We knew that sufficient resources would be available when needed to carry out the life plan. Without needing to know anything about the LOA, we each manifest some type of reality.

The question, as posed by most LOA teachers, is why many people are unhappy with their reality. Why do scarcity and overwhelming problems seem to be the law of the land? Why should it seem like magical thinking to suggest that abundance should be the norm?

The answer they would suggest is that the LOA can solve the majority of life's problems by attracting abundant health and wealth. Unfortunately, it's not that simple.

As I've written before, I have a major problem with the way The Secret and many other sources teach the LOA. Their premise is that suffering in life is due to forgetting the the key to abundance. Abundance is measured in dollars and degree of health. The assumption is that lack of abundance is the only thing standing in the way of happiness. This is a very ego-oriented way of seeing things.

From the soul's perspective, life is about experiencing a number of things, balancing karma, but most importantly, expressing its own unique qualities into the world. To achieve this, it tries to guide the life path along lines that provide opportunity for expression. The ego-mind may not grasp the big picture, and may clash with the soul's objectives. This clash is at the root of much suffering in life. An artistic soul will probably not find satisfactory expression as an accountant, for example, but the artist's ego might think that accounting is the only way of paying the bills.

The ultimate goal, as stated in this blog profile, is the "Fully Actualized Life". Essentially, this means living a life that fully achieves the soul's expression and exploits whatever potential for success exists in each person. With enlightenment and understanding, the ego can embrace the soul's program and enjoy life. Our natural state is actually intended to be one of joy, gratitude and contentment. This is how I would define abundance.

Of course, our civilization is structured so that money is essential for survival. Too many compromises are made in the pursuit of money, but it doesn't need to be that way. The real lie behind the "law of scarcity" belief is that we need to sacrifice our health, relationships and happiness in order to earn enough money. We sell our time like prostitutes sell their bodies and don't seem to realize what was lost along the way. The Bible says "the love of money is the root of all evil" but it's actually our embrace of the scarcity belief system that causes most of the problems.

I am in the process of working out these principles in my own life, and I will share more about this in future posts. For me, the Fully Actualized Life means trying an experiment to determine just how far the ego-mind can progress toward enlightenment of the soul's perspective. In other words, just how much of heaven can we bring down to Earth? What are the limitations? How quickly can we learn to manifest thought into physical reality? How can we transmute the awesome power of Source into love, compassion, and healing for those who are suffering?

I suspect that the "Shift" is leading us into a higher dimensional reality that incorporates my goals and more. Perhaps this is what inspires my goals. I believe that something fundamental has changed, that lifts many of the limitations on human development that were in place. The Age of Iron is over, and we can now once again be trusted to have "One foot in Atlantis".

How about you? Are you inspired and ready to move forward?

Quantum Physics and the Law Of Attraction

I just finished a book by Peter Baksa, “The Point of Power”.  

A distinguishing aspect of this book, among the many proffering to teach the LOA, is that the author makes a serious attempt to tie Quantum Physics into the otherwise metaphysical principles. Understand, this is a tall order, and I was originally skeptical. I tend to cast a jaded eye toward the many pseudo-scientific abuses heaped upon scientific terminology by many avid new-age teachers. Not that I see any inherent conflict between science and spirituality, but I insist that the two should not be casually mixed without at least some solid evidence and methodical thinking.

To his credit, Mr. Baksa passed mustard with my standards. He doesn’t claim a scientific background, but displays enough respect for actual the actual science of Quantum Mechanics to engage in a fascinating and rewarding discussion. He demonstrates a better-than-average layman’s understanding of quantum theory, and takes pains to educate the reader on the basics.

Most people are already aware that “spooky” things are known to happen at the quantum level. Particles act like waves, and exist in bands of probability rather than in determinate state. “Entanglement” means that particles can act in complete synchronization, even when separated by vast distance, and apparently share information over a distance. “Virtual” particles pop in and out of existence, seemingly at random. It's difficult to pin down exactly what is going on inside of an atom at a given moment.

The most profound ramification of quantum phenomena is the relationship between subatomic reality and the observer. This is the “spooky” behavior that disturbed Einstein and has made its imprint into mass consciousness – the understanding that events at this most fundamental level of reality do not take place in a linear and predictable manner.

Many metaphysical and spiritual teachers have jumped on the concept of the observer influencing reality, as if this somehow proves the premise that thought can really change physical reality. While I have long suspected as much, it’s a huge leap to claim that science somehow proves it. In particular, research in quantum mechanics only involves reality at the subatomic level. There is a huge order of magnitude between the subatomic scale and the macro scale that we inhabit. To my knowledge, no one has found any scientific link between the behavior of particles at the quantum level and the solid objects that make up our world.

All my disclaimers and hedging aside,  Peter Baksa has made a case for quantum effects on the macro level. A couple of new insights struck me while reading his book.

The first involves entanglement. While scientific experiments regarding entanglement deal with individual or small numbers of particles, on a philosophical level it makes sense to assume that every atom in the universe is entangled if everything originated in the Big Bang. And as Bernard Haisch postulates in The God Theory, it makes philosophical and mathematical sense to conclude that a single, unitary consciousness pervades the universe. Spiritual teaching holds that human souls are split off from the “God” entity, but remain connected (or “entangled”).

The second insight involves the observer phenomenon. Quantum particles remain in indistinct or wave pattern state until they are measured by an observer. However, it’s not the laboratory equipment doing the measurement that constitutes the observer – it’s the human mind that is observing the measurement. For agnostic science, which believes that human consciousness is merely chemical and electrical activity in the brain, this represents sort of a philosophical dead end. What would be so special about the human biological “machine” observing, as opposed to a sophisticated computer?

Applying the Hermetic concept of the human soul being part of the field of universal consciousness, it follows that reality is only relevant when observed by human consciousness. This meshes quite well with the spiritual understanding that humans are creators. This  is explicitly taught by Seth in The Nature of Personal Reality, and is an inherent assumption in LOA teaching.

The essential LOA concept is as follows:

Physical reality is created and maintained by consciousness. The human incarnational experience allows for an ego-based personality to exist within this physical reality without necessarily being aware that there is any level of reality above it. Thus, we experience causality, the illusion of time, and can work out our karmic paths. Since the ego is unaware of how reality is created and maintained, it’s easy to believe that things can only change by force or manipulation, or that we are victimized by circumstances out of our control.

The LOA teaching can raise our awareness to see that the ego is simply a construct of the soul for the purpose of interfacing with physical reality. Then we can remember who we truly are as souls, which are connected to Source (or God, if you prefer). Since Source contains the energy that created everything in existence, there is nothing about this reality to suggest that there is any need that cannot be fulfilled. Our very existence in the physical world is maintained by our consciousness.

The Point of Power is a great manual for understanding the LOA. Peter Baksa comes across as quite practical and down-to-earth. He shares his journey from hard-luck childhood to successful professional, illustrating how he learned to use the LOA to transform his life. He then breaks down a simple 3-step technique that the reader can easily employ.

The Quantum section is just icing on the cake, from my perspective. I have always been curious as to how things work. Someday, science will expand its frontiers to the point where quantum mechanics and the LOA are simply part of a grand Theory of Everything. For those wanting to begin changing their lives now, there is no need to wait for that. It’s all here.

Closing In On The Solstice 2012

The Galactic Center

As this is written, we are at 18 days and counting until the much-anticipated 2012 winter solstice. (The countdown widget on the Earth & Water website is based on universal time, whereas midnight is 6:00 PM CST on the day before).

So much has been written and spread about on the topic of 2012 and the Mayan calendar, that I will limit my comments to a few relevant points.

First, there is no rational reason to expect doom and catastrophe on December 21. Much speculation has centered on the supposed alignment between Earth, the sun and the galactic center. While one can't rule out energetic phenomena of metaphysical nature, it's a fact that astronomically this alignment occurs every year at this time. Due to the gradual precession of the Earth, the date on which this alignment occurs slowly changes in sync with the astrological age. Thus it takes 25,600 years to complete a cycle, during which time the alignment with galactic center moves throughout the calendar and seasons. 12,000 years ago it occurred on the summer solstice, and the Milky Way would have been most visible in mid-winter instead of mid-summer as the case now.

The mystical meaning of galactic alignment on the winter solstice appears to relate to a marker in time for the "cycle of the ages". As the age of Pieces gives way to Aquarius, a moment in time is heralded that was foreseen by mystics and prophets over the past several millennia. This was generally seen as beginning of a new Golden Age.

Mythology and mystical tradition holds that the galactic center is the source of our life-force and perhaps our origin, and physicist Paul LaViolette speculates that periodic energetic outbursts from the galactic core have greatly affected life on Earth in the past. Thus there is reason to connote meaning to the alignment on the solstice, but don't be misled by the bogus pseudo-scientific claims being bantered about; the closest actual alignment is off by 6.5 degrees (equal to 13 diameters of the moon). Even if there were gravitational or other energetic effects of this near-alignment, it would have taken place every year for quite a while. The apparent movement of the stars is very slow and gradual across the sky.

On the mystical side of things, we have heard of Earth moving into a "photon belt", and how stars and black holes are supposedly beginning to radiate a different frequency of energy. There is real substance to the astronomical fact that the Solar System is moving into an area of increased dust, which could affect the sun and climate on Earth. It's difficult to pin down the likelihood of anything specific affecting us, but I'd be willing to bet that nothing drastic is going to change on December 21. The mystics may be correct as far as reality changing, but there are many versions and interpretations to sift through.

Ascension and "The Shift" definitely appear to be real, but not particularly tied to a date in 2012 - they have been happening and underway for several years now. Dolores Cannon has written extensively about The New Earth, and how the entire planet is supposed to be "graduating" to a higher dimensional frequency. (Check out her YouTube videos). Just how this plays out is still anyone's guess, but I am absolutely convinced that something is happening.

My personal take on the solstice: This is a great time for contemplation and reflection. Those who are sensitive and intuitive can sense a great deal of change underway. In some cases it has seemed chaotic and even painful at times. At this moment the change appears to be accelerating. Something new lies on the path ahead. This is an adventure that many souls have longed to experience and have gathered here in the flesh for this event. According to Dolores' discoveries, many discarnate beings and ETs have assembled here, and there is a buzz throughout the galaxy.

December 21 will likely be a day like any other, but I suspect that 2013 will mark a new phase in the ascension process. We may begin to see the outlines of the New Earth in whatever way that takes shape. I suspect it will be gradual and subtle and not perceived by all, but for those with eyes for it, this should be a marvelous time to be alive.

Taking Personal Responsibility

This blog seeks to examine what it means to be human, as spirit incarnated into flesh. This includes the reasons for struggle and suffering, as well as our potential for accomplishing great things.

For the most part, humans have forgotten who we are. We struggle and seem attracted to endless drama. Even those of spiritual persuasion often get distracted by various schemes to increase one's luck or invoke some hidden secret of magick to resolve problems or improve our lot.

When things go wrong, we tend to think of ourselves as victims of circumstance or the wiles of others. This problem certainly wasn't of my choosing, we may say. My boss or my partner did it to me. The stars were in adverse alignment or maybe it was just a stretch of bad luck.

This thinking has a flaw, in that in order to qualify as a victim, one must be in an inferior position with respect to the forces or individuals involved. We assume the problem is a lack of personal power, so we seek methods of increasing our power and perhaps evening the odds in our favor.

The simple truth of the matter, of which I often need reminding, is that we humans are, by nature, incredibly powerful beings. We have forgotten who we are. Our civilization developed based on the philosophy of materialism. Religion mentions that we have souls, but places us as pawns at the bottom of a celestial hierarchy. They would have us supplicate before a vast deity just to be saved from fiery damnation, let alone to seek help for self-improvement. How were we to know?

As the "New Age" movement began to emerge, the concept of the soul's journey through multiple incarnations was introduced to many for the first time. One of the early voices teaching basic truths about the soul was Jane Roberts, who channeled a number of books from a discarnate entity calling himself Seth.

Seth's seminal work "The Nature of Personal Reality" is a source of essential wisdom concerning how we create our own reality. Seth identifies the Ego as the necessary interface between spirit and flesh, but shows how it generally takes on too large of a role and causes distorted thinking. When we attach our identity of Self to the Ego, we forget about the vast multidimensional aspect of Self, which is the Soul. With such limited vision, it's easy to develop a worldview that says we must strive against outside forces in order to take care of our needs and get our share.

Here are some quotes from The Nature of Personal Reality:

******************************************************************************* 

Your experience in the world of physical matter flows outward from the center of your inner psyche. Then you perceive this experience. Exterior events, circumstances and conditions are meant as a kind of living feedback. Altering the state of the psyche automatically alters the physical circumstances.

There is no other valid way of changing physical events.

You change even the most permanent-seeming conditions of your life constantly through the varying attitudes you have toward them. There is nothing in your exterior experience that did not originate within you.

Interactions with others do occur, of course, yet there are none that you do not accept or draw to you by your thoughts, attitudes or emotions. This applies in each area of your life. In your terms, it applies both before life and after it. In the most miraculous fashion are you given the gift of creating your experience.
 

In this existence you are learning to handle the inexhaustible energy that is available to you. The mass condition of the world, and the situation of each individual in it, is the materialization of man’s progress as he forms the world.

You make your own reality. There is no other rule. Knowing this is the secret to creativity.

I have spoken of "you", yet this must not be confused with the "you" that you often think that you are – the ego alone, for the ego is only a portion of You; it is that expert part of your personality that deals directly with the contents of your conscious mind, and is concerned most directly with the material portions of your experience.
****************************************************************************

Seth's take on how we create our reality concurs with numerous other wisdom sources and teachers, which include mystical exploration via hypnosis by Michael Newton, Brian Weiss, and Dolores Cannon.

I'm convinced that we are powerful creator souls, and as such can never be victims. If we don't like the reality we experience, then it's necessary to dig into the reasons why we created it. We can then craft a strategy to create something different.

The topic of "Clearing the Baggage" is vitally connected to reality creation, for the unconscious and subconscious minds are constantly creating the reality we experience. In order to discover why a particular negative feature exists in your life, it's necessary to examine the programming running on the unconscious level.

The "Law of Attraction" works, not as a clever or powerful ritual, but due to the fact that conscious focus initiates the creation process. Again, negative programming running on the unconscious level far outweighs any positive mantras we might consciously recite. Therefore, the LOA is of limited value without thorough self-inventory and baggage clearing.

The bottom line is, we are completely responsible for everything we experience. Taking responsibility is the first step toward changing and improving ourselves.

The next time you are feeling small while facing a problem, try reflecting on who you really are. Think on how your problem could be connected with the life lessons you soul came here to experience. Then remember your connection to the inexhaustible resource of Source. If you really don't like the direction your life is taking, you can edit the script and run a different program. But first you must become aware of the program that is currently running in your subconscious mind. Clearing the baggage is the first step.

Conversation With A Jinn

 

 

This is a bit unusual for this blog, but I've had some fascinating material for some time that I'd like to share. It consists of author Hank Wesselman's account of an encounter he had with a Jinn during a tour of Egypt. The following is my transcript of Hank's recounting of the experience while appearing on Coast to Coast AM.

Hank is a credentialed anthropologist who has followed a unique path in his personal life. He spontaneously found himself initialized into the world of Shamanic experience, and wrote a trilogy of books describing his experiences, beginning with Spirit Walker.

 

Hank Wesselman’s encounter with a Jinn in Egypt, as recounted in an interview with George Noory on Coast to Coast AM:

I was leader of a travel  group, and we were in a mortuary temple near the valley of the kings. A couple of the participants came up to me and said there’s this shrine near the entrance to the temple, and we got this huge energy hit when we went in there. I thought that was interesting, so I went back into the shrine, which was some distance away…to make a long story short…I found myself in a very dim corridor, the walls were covered with hieroglyphics. I could feel something…you become sensitive to stuff like this when you do this a lot.
I closed my eyes and amped up my personal power, and I cracked open an eye. What I saw was an eyeball, a single living eyeball looking at me from the wall of the corridor. When I looked directly at it, it was gone. I thought there was something in there, but was with the travel group, so didn’t have a chance to investigate it.

The next day we were on our Nile cruise, we were all in a big room and I was drumming for the group. I instructed people to go back to a place we had been to, to connect with the spiritual guardians that were living in that place to see what we could learn. I went back to the shrine…I brought up the memory of the shrine in my mind, while drumming with my eyes closed, and projected my consciousness back into the shrine. This time there were two eyeballs and a smoky vague form took shape in front of me. Turned out that there was a Jinn (what we would call Genie)  living in this shrine, and I had this very interesting conversation with the Jinn. First thing I did was to trick it into giving its name, because once I knew it’s name it couldn’t lie to me. I’m just giving it to you straight – this is kind of like what I do.

I asked the Jinn if there was anything that it wanted. The image of the carved alter in this shrine came up in my mind’s eye. In response the Jinn’s energetic field of pastel greens and blues…the answer came almost shyly – honey. It wanted honey. I digested this request, and I couldn’t have come up with that in a million years – it wanted honey. I was being watched by this spirit in the same way a cat looks at you just before you feed it with that same intensity that cats have. And so what I did was to use my creative imagination to create a bowl of honey – a thought form – ok I’m in the dream world, in the dream aspect of this shrine, and that’s where the Jinn is living. As I put the honey on the altar I said I will give you this honey if you tell me your name, and any resistance in the Jinn was gone. As it took the honey and drank gratefully, the Jinn’s name appeared in my mind.

Satisfied, the Jinn turned its attention fully toward me, and we had this really interesting conversation. The Jinn opened by saying “You humans are creators. We the Jinn cannot create anything but we can mimic and imitate and can affect potential outcomes but cannot create. Few can perceive us anymore, and fewer still can bind us to their will. Now that I’ve told you my name, you can ask me to serve you and I will.”

Hey, it’s beginning to sound like the Arabian Nights, isn’t it? But this isn’t going on in Arabic or English, it’s all going on in think-feeling, non-verbal communication. I asked the Jinn what qualities it possesses that could be of service to me. It kind of flickered thoughtfully and then answered “I can protect you from enemies and can inflict curses and misfortune on those that oppose you.”

My response was that I am constrained in my practice from inflicting harm on anyone for any reason. Still I thought to myself that this Genie might come in handy if a really bad guy came along. So “how about healing work?” I asked.

“Who can say what’s written on another person’s soul? We cannot purposefully influence their destiny without tampering with our agreement.”

“Agreement with who?” I asked.

“With the higher organizing intelligences”

So I asked “Are the Jinn below them in the spiritual hierarchy?”

The Jinn responded “Oh yes. Some of the younger Jinn occasionally misbehave, and the watchers approach them and encourage them in more appropriate forms of expression”.

This led me to ask, “Who are the watchers?”

The answer: “The ones among the higher intelligences responsible for this world. We’re not allowed to interfere with humans on their path, although there are some who do, as well as some who function as adversaries.”

I thought about this, and about my recent reading, so I asked “are those the ones that the Gnostics called the Archons?”. (This could hinge on UFOs and ETs).

The Jinn’s response was “Oh, so you know about them? The Archons are not true spirits, they’re mind beings. They’re mental entities, many of whom were created by humans as thought forms. Many of these function as attachments, as mental parasites.”

So I asked “How do they do that?”

“They feed on the energy, on the attention paid to them by humans. This includes the energy created by human belief systems, but they’re not true spirits and they will cease to exist if nobody pays attention to them anymore. The ones that you call the Archons are ones that we call ‘deceivers’, and like us they are not creative. They can mimic and can take on forms in response to human belief systems.”

I thought about this at some length, and then asked “Are they the ones that we call aliens or extraterrestrials?”

The Jinn didn’t appear to understand the question, so I explained. It’s response was more than interesting. This is what the Jinn said:

“The deceivers can take on many forms, drawing from the belief systems of humans. There are also visitors who come here from other places.”

“From other worlds?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“Who are they and why do they come here?”

“They are others and they come here as visitors.”

“Why do they abduct humans and perform experiments on them?”

“They don’t. It is the deceivers who do that.”

“The deceivers? Why do they do that?”

“Humans are greater than the deceivers. The deceivers that you have called the Archons wish to become more like humans, but they cannot create. They can only imitate, and the only power that they have is derived from humans. Humans have power, and the deceivers want that power.”

“Why don’t the watchers inhibit the deceivers from interfering with humans?”

“The deceivers are not spirits. They live in the human mind, and so the watchers cannot affect them.”

I considered this at some length, and asked more questions:

“How long will you remain in this shrine?”

Again the Jinn didn’t understand the question so I rephrased it.

The answer was “This is my place.”

“If I travel here in spirit form, in my dream body to this place the way I’ve done right now, will I find you here?”

“Yes.”

“Why do you remain here instead of going someplace else?”

“This is my place.”

Then I mentioned that some years ago I had met a Jinniyah (female Jinn) in the desert to the south of where this place was, and that she was service to me in an interesting way. I asked if he knew her.

He said “Yes, all the Jinn know each other.”

“Can you tell me her name?”

“NO!”

“Can you convey my greetings to her as well as my respects?”

“Yes, but you can do that yourself if you have connection with her.”

“I’ve not felt the connection for many years” I said.

“Time is not in the spirit world. All time is now.”

I asked if the Jinn exist elsewhere in the world beyond the deserts of the middle east.

“Yes.”

“What are they called?”

“I do not know. We are the Jinn, Earthbound spirits. We live where we wish.”

“Where do the Jinn come from?”

“The Jinn are manifestations of the great spiritual force the Gnostics called The Sophia. Everything that exists on this world are manifestations of The Sophia”

“Who or what is The Sophia” I asked.

“She is the soul of this world.”

“Does she have a physical aspect”?

“Yes, this world is her physical aspect.”

“Where did the Sophia come from?”

“She came from the center of –“ and then the Jinn used a strange term. Asking for clarification, I was given to understand that the Sophia came from the core of our galaxy.”

“Is the Sophia a goddess”?

“I don’t know. She emerged from –“ (the strange term again) “as a river of conscious light. She dreams, and all that she dreams comes into manifestation. That means that she is a – “ and again an unrecognizable term.

Note: Unfortunately at this point in the interview, George Noory cut in saying it was time to take calls, so we didn’t get to hear the remaining details about the Sophia.

Addicted to Drama?

I would suppose that, if asked, most would say that creating unnecessary drama in life is a bad thing. The pejorative terms “Drama Queen” and “Drama Llama” suggest a dim view of drama, particularly when magnified out of proportion.

But what about the drama that just seems to happen despite our assumption that we prefer to avoid it? For those who seem to struggle against continual challenges, life can seem hard and unfair. We certainly didn’t ask for our problems, did we?

Despite the supposition that we desire peace and tranquility, many of us have a penchant for stirring the pot when things remain uneventful for too long.

Relationships are a great example; for some reason, many unconsciously attract partners that are guaranteed to clash with them. The friction points may be personality traits, behavioral problems, or karmic issues from previous lives. The conscious mind seems to overlook these issues while the unconscious steadily homes in and plants the hooks. The result is drama that appears to have no resolution.

At other times, a relationship that seems relatively serene is thrown into chaos by a casual affair or a thoughtless action. Why would anyone invite drama into their lives this way unless there is a desire for it? The emotional pain and turmoil that result would appear to be unwanted, but are we really unaware of what we are attracting?

Then we have our workplace dramas, money dramas, parenting dramas, health dramas. Of course, unpleasant or unfortunate events can simply happen in life, seemingly out of our control. However, when the dramas have a repeating pattern, there is reason to suspect that an unconscious mental program is creating them.

An argument can be made that simply to incarnate on this planet is to invite drama. Earth is known as a tough school and a difficult place to exist in. Souls that come here generally have an ambitious agenda to overcome challenges or balance karmic debts, so struggle is often a natural result of simply being here.

For those who long for a placid existence with no problems to resolve should remember that such a state of bliss was undoubtedly one of the choices available before birth. The fact that we are here is evidence that we chose tough challenges over the alternative. Perhaps bliss becomes boring after a while.

This is not to equate life’s normal challenges with unnecessary drama. The soul chooses challenges that it thinks are possible to overcome. To be beaten down with no hope and to remain stuck in endless cycles of defeat and failure – this outcome is most likely not on the soul’s agenda. This discussion concerns what I term “unnecessary drama” that remains locked in place.

We do seem to get bored when things are too easy. We create contrived dramas, in the form of sports and video games, as well as traditional drama in novels, movies and plays. Football is a great example of a contrived drama: We become invested emotionally in whether our team wins or loses. Each game represents another drama in which the possibility exists to become elated by winning at the risk of disappointment over losing. Following an emotional loss, it’s useful to realize that others not sharing interest in the sport are not experiencing the pain of disappointment. The drama was freely subscribed to by the faithful fans.

Wouldn’t we get bored with a team that always wins, or video games that are easy to beat? I can recall that classic Twilight Zone episode where a gangster gets killed in a shootout with police, and arrives at a place where everything seems welcoming and friendly. The women are always eager to provide every comfort, and he can’t lose at casino games. His initial delight soon turns to frustration, and he asks the caretaker why he ended up here? He had been a rather bad guy, so why not the “other place”? The caretaker (burly guy played by Sebastion Cabot) laughs and says “my dear fellow, what were you thinking? This is the other place! Bwahahaha!”

But again, if we chose our challenges before birth, we also had intentions of overcoming them. Sometimes, being stuck in a cycle of endless struggle can be a sign that we have become addicted to the drama. Relationships can be a happy adventure of two people growing and overcoming obstacles together, but repeatedly attracting a drama-filled relationship that brings only suffering and misery is probably not what the soul intended.

The same principle holds for money issues. Becoming successful and prosperous in our life’s work can be emotionally rewarding, particularly if obstacles were overcome along the way. There might be some drama along the way, but there is time to enjoy the reward of success afterward. Endless struggle with money can indicate addiction to the drama. Success would result in the drama fading away , so some unconscious form of self-sabotage ensures that this does not happen.

Anyone feeling stuck with repeated cycles of drama would be advised to take a careful self-inventory. The drama addiction can be so subtle that you are completely unaware of your part in creating it. Motivational gurus will tell you to burn your old beliefs about money and success, but the drama addiction program often flies under the radar.

Look for patterns that have repeated over and over. Is your job a source of drama? This is often coupled with the “lack of money” drama. You feel compelled to “slave away” under stressful conditions to scrape up enough to live on. There is generally an overbearing boss, annoying colleague, or some variation on the theme of unpleasant working conditions. You may have changed jobs, only to discover that the same players reappear under different names and guises. You resort to wishful thinking for a solution, such as winning the lottery. You contemplate your apparent options and dwell on your fears, which include ultimately ending up homeless and living under a bridge.

Here is some really big news! Most likely, you created the entire drama! How this actually works is a huge mystery, but each negative player or situation in you drama originated between your two ears! The big question is why. Perhaps the drama centers around a life lesson or theme that your soul brought into this life. Oftentimes the lesson is learned, the soul’s experience is complete, but you remain stuck in the mud. Perhaps you never understood the lesson and resisted it all along. Now is a good time to take that self-inventory and get in touch with your higher self!

Here is more good news: Once you take responsibility for the drama and realize that you no longer need it, the drama tends to just fade away. Troublesome players in your life begin to move away or simply start acting differently (at least in your perception). If your goal is to attain enough income to live comfortably without having to endure stress or obsess over it, then such possibilities will begin to open up. Your job should ideally be an extension of what you enjoy doing, and should be a creative outlet for the soul’s expression. This should be the norm in the absence of a drama program.

Something similar applies to relationships. Partners are attracted by mysterious forces that operate beneath your conscious awareness. If the drama program is doing the attracting, guess what the results are. If your unconscious mind is free of drama programs, and gets into alignment with your conscious intent of attracting good people into your life, then good things will follow.

With health issues, we must realize that most illness has inception somewhere deep on the unconscious level. Negative emotional patterns can lock in toxic amounts of energy in various parts of the body. Medical intuitives can sense the pattern even before disease is manifested. In a real sense, illness is a drama created by the prevailing emotional and thought patterns. When allopathic medicine treats the illness, it tends to come back or manifest somewhere else in the body because the drama program is still running. The ultimate answer is to clear the emotional and energetic baggage, and thereby terminate the drama program. Many have experienced spontaneous healing simply by working on that level.
In a balanced, “fully actualized” life, there is always room to grow and new goals to achieve. This should be sufficient stimulus for the soul so as not to induce boredom. Being bored is stressful  in itself and is a symptom of being stuck and imbalanced. A bored soul can create drama just to stir up some action. The fully actualized person will have removed blocks and barriers to the soul’s expression, so resorting to drama shouldn’t be needed. All action will take place under conscious intent and guidance, and will be aligned with the soul’s highest goals and aspirations. This is the prescription for a truly happy and prosperous life.
