Infinite possibilities

One of my interests this year has been quantum physics and there is a term used when referring to the universe that has caught my imagination – Infinite Possibilities.

At first it seemed to me to be just another buzz word in the amazing mix of ideas that quantum physics explores but it kept popping into my head and slowly its real meaning started to hit me. It is an idea so exciting with so many ramifications that you will never see the world the same way again.

A month ago I came across and audio program of the same name by Mike Dooley and I knew I had to listen to it. Mike was actually featured in The Secret and has been running a website for many years with what he calls the adventurers club. The concept being that life is an adventure. He also has a mailing list called Notes from the Universe which I have been subscribing to for some time.

So I downloaded it aware that it would not really be on the topic of quantum physics but related none the less.

I have actually listened to a lot of material from many of the world’s most renowned motivational speakers and the messages of many are similar. From each I can usually gleam a new insight or some clarification of a topic I am already familiar with.


Watch this Youtube video of Mike talking about his Notes from the Universe

The 12 hour audio program Infinite Possibilities from Mike knocked my socks off. For me it was a lot more than a few more insights and some clarification – it actually helped me put some important jigsaw pieces for the puzzle of like together. Everything has started to make a lot more sense.

Many programs can be motivational and inspirational but this was enlightening and liberating. If you are interested in Mike’s message in the above video or perhaps already familiar with him in The Secret then you are here to take your next step on your road to understanding. You are here to discover Infinite Possibilities.

The Secret | the missing part of the movie

June 08th, 2009 | Category: General, Law of Attraction, Philosophy, Spirituality, The Secret

I came across the teachings of Abraham who is one of the original exponents of the Law of Attraction some time ago.   At first I assumed it was just more about the law of attraction but there is more to it than that.

Abraham is not a person but rather ARE non-physical entities that communicate through Esther and jerry Hicks.   Esther claims to channel  these entities from source energy from which we all originate.   She describes what she is doing as tapping into “infinite intelligence” which is the same term that Wallace Wattle used in the last century to describe much the same concept.   

Here is a summary of some of the major concepts of Abrahams teachings:

  • You are a physical extension of that which is non-physical.
  • You are here in this body because you chose to be here.
  • The basis of your life is freedom; the purpose of your life is joy.
  • You are a creator; you create with your every thought.
  • Anything that you can imagine is yours to be or do or have.
  • You are choosing your creations as you are choosing your thoughts.
  • The Universe adores you; for it knows your broadest intentions.
  • Relax into your natural well-being. All is well.
  • You are a creator of thoughtways on your unique path of joy.
  • Actions to be taken and money to be exchanged are by-products of your focus on joy.
  • You may appropriately depart your body without illness or pain.
  • You can not die; you are everlasting life.

I had seen references from time to time about Abraham being included in the first release of the secret but later removed by Rhonda Byrne for some reason.  I had suspected that maybe Rhonda decided that using “Abraham” would be too way out there when many of the ideas of the secret were already going to challenge people.  It turns out this was just my own speculation.

First the “The Secret” Original Intro with Esther Hicks and deleted scenes:

Next Abraham – via Esther Hicks – explains why there are two versions of “The Secret” DVD and why Abraham is no longer in the video. Recorded live at a 2007 Abraham-Hicks workshop

That which does not kill us makes us stronger

April 18th, 2009 | Category: Mind Power, Motivation, Philosophy, Spirituality

Just over a week ago I had to deal with some very negative things that brought back a lot of bad memories and feelings related to being separated from my infant child.  Around the same time I observed a small child about the same age struggling to take his first steps and thought that my child too would be learning to walk by now and I was missing it.  The realization was like a knife stabbed into my heart. 

I also realized that these feeling were not helpful to anyone least of all me.  I resolved that it was time to fully let go.   Not of my love for my child or my expectation (note I do not use the word hope) to be reunited with him one day.  Just of anything that connected me with the negativity of the past year.  This included a decision to turn off the other blog. 

Well this past week has been a major mile stone for me.  A week ago when I resolved to fully let go I really did not appreciate what that entailed.  The last week has been amazing.  I have been overwhelmed by feelings of well being and happiness.  In fact more than that.  LOVE.

It occurred to me that the feelings I have had this past week are probably similar to what a born Christian feels when they believe they are filled with the spirit of Jesus. 

I have deliberately created my own state of euphoria.  I decided to be happy and have made my own happiness.  So is it real some might ask.  Am I in some delusional state of denial of reality? 

What is real?  Is the born again filled with the spirit of Jesus experiencing a more real happiness – from the point of view of a born again they are.  How about a drug addict getting a fix…is their state of euphoria more real or less than mine?   How do you validate happiness?

Years ago I read a short book by John Kehoe called the Practice of Happiness.  It was an inspirational book filled mainly with anecdotal stories but in his book he revealed the secret of happiness.  The secret is so simple that many would dismiss it and even ridicule it.   The secret is to just decide to be happy. 

We really are talking about the power of thoughts to control and direct your state of mind.  I have been working on my happiness for a few months now and avoiding focussing on the negativity.   I did not expect it to be so powerful.   

Another surprise is that there is no room for any feelings of anger and hatred.  They are gone.  There is nothing there anymore.

No one has ever hurt me so deeply and been as vindictive and nasty as my ex-girl friend and mother of my infant son.  At first I thought she was just under the control of the drug addict psychopath who also got her addicted to crystal-meth.  I then came to realize that she was a very active accomplice in many the dastardly deeds perpetrated by the psychopath.  My hurt turned to anger and eventually I even tried to hate her. 

Now if I look at her picture I feel only pity and feelings of love for her.  Not love as before but a compassionate love.  I am also aware that I hurt her deeply and made mistakes and while I don’t believe that my actions can justify what she did to me I accept my responsibility in allowing this psychopath into our lives.  I realize my ex-girl friend is a victim despite her active complicity in games of the psychopath.  So I will help her as well as my child once the Psychopath has abandoned them as I know he will.

If I look at a picture of the Psychopath who deliberately caused me so much pain and suffering the feelings of extreme animosity are also gone.  My feeling is more of indifference and detachment.  I realize how pathetic and sad this person is.   He is only in his mid 30s and already a chronic alcoholic and drug user.  I have also learnt about his estrangement from his family who have not seen or heard from him for more than four years.  My only reservation is that he will continue to hurt everybody that he comes into contact with. 

As for my day to day living, they are seldom in my thoughts.  I do think of my infant son but focus on feelings of love for him and knowing that he is ok.  I miss him.  I know that in the future circumstances will change enabling me to again be part of his life.

The quote “That which does not kill us makes us stronger” by Nietzsche comes to mind after reflecting upon the events of the previous year.  I am definitely stronger as a result of my experiences. 

No one will ever be able to hurt me again nor will I simply react to circumstances allowing them to determine my emotional states.  I am in control as never before.  I am becoming the active creator of my own life and can direct my emotional states.  I now take full responsibility for my life and that also means I have full power.

So in some ways my encounter with the Psychopath was one of serendipity.

Inner Peace

March 26th, 2009 | Category: Humor, Spirituality

If you can start the day without caffeine,

If you can get going without pep pills,

If you can always be cheerful, ignoring aches and pains,

If you can resist complaining and boring people with your troubles,

If you can eat the same food every day and be grateful for it,

If you can understand when your loved ones are too busy to give you any time,


If you can take criticism and blame without resentment
,

If you can resist treating a rich friend better than a poor friend,


If you can conquer tension without medical help,


If you can relax without liquor,

If you can sleep without the aid of drugs,
