Feeling out of control...angry...hurt? It is said that ALL of misery and suffering comes from the false belief that you are separate from and powerless to someone else...and the solution lies in YOU

Whether physical, emotional or mental, it is said that ALL of misery and suffering comes from the ego's false belief that you are separate from and powerless to something or someone else.ย 

Feeling angry or helpless over any situation, regardless of how big or small, will chip away at and undermine the integriy of your healthy whole being, giving someone else the power of you. The Dalai Lama says it would be wise to cultivate the courage to learn how to forgive your supposed enemy (person, sickness or situation), that within forgiveness lies our greatest salvation. By aligning oneself with this TRUE nature of the spirit...we begin to remember our wellness and gain control over our own personal power.

Do I desire a world where:

ยท I am in control over how I feel or dominated by another

ยท I am FREE of enemies or defensive & fearful of them

ยท I am accepted and accepting or afraid to make mistakes because of punishing judgements by self and others

-Are my thoughts, words, feelings & actions in line with my highest outcome

Is the world you SEE the one you desire?

It is said that God gave man dominion over the world.ย  When living under the illusion of fear and separation, one would interepret this as a means for dominance and control over others and permission to fight & gain power over another. For example: do you kill bacteria to gain health, dominate a market or competition to gain abundance, self serve to gain happiness regardless of others?

From the perspective of โ€œwholenessโ€, it is understood that at every choice point (challenge) we are given an opportunity to gain mastery over one Self.ย  When we choose to respond to our pain and problems with and from LOVEโ€ฆmiracles happen.

To experience life from this powerful "state of BEing", rather than from what our small minds are limited to perceive when under stress, we become FREE from the erroneous belief that we are in any way shape or form "victims" over anything or anyone. The world you see will change based on your internal decision to BE IN-Power. From here...all things are POSSIBLE!
