What I am about to tell you is something I would have thought absurd and laughable a decade ago. Such is the process of Spiritual evolution. Even those words, “Spiritual evolution” would have made me wince years back. And I do not expect everyone who reads this to resonate with my words. I share these words and experiences with you all because they represent who I am now, not ten years ago. Additionally, I think that there is enough anger, hatred and discord in this world these days and frankly, I do not wish to be a part of it. So here goes. Laugh if you must. Judge if you wish. But if you do, ask yourself why you wanted to read it in the first place :)
One of my previous posts explained a technique I discovered a few years ago which goes against the grain of human behavior; and that is sending thoughts of love to everyone around us. If you did not read that post, what I would do is to visualize my heart energy center as expanding. I then would visualize a thread of light extending out of my heart and engulfing the people I would see around me as I sent the affirmation which said, “You are perfect. You are loved”. Back in my materialist days, I would have thought it silly; even absurd. But until you get to the point where you understand WHY I do this, all I ask is that you indulge my beliefs.
As I have mentioned, I meditate daily. It is during meditation where I receive ideas. In fact, the above heart engulfment came to me during meditation. Now it is one thing to send love to those around us. But what about the entire world; the whole planet? Why not do that? Hey, if I have come this far, why stop? So I received this and began to visualize it. It has become my new favorite exercise. One more thing I want to explain is that we each have the ability to visualize anything in our mind. If I tell you to visualize an orange, you can easily see it. You can also feel yourself peeling it, smelling it and even tasting it. The power of visualization is a known scientific fact. I can write all about that, but you can also easily research it your self.
Once you accept that our visualizations are powerful, and once you see its effects in your own life, you can consciously choose to visualize ONLY that which you desire, and that which helps, and not hurts others. So, this time I was shown that I can imagine myself growing my heart center AND my body larger and larger. Eventually, I visualized myself so large that I was able to hug the planet. And yes, “He’s got the whole world in His hands” can play in your mind, if you wish. But as I hugged the planet, I also engulfed the entire planet in love; love for and to each and every one of the seven billion of us who now inhabit this blue marble. In fact, love for ALL life!
I send forth the intention that this world will heal, that darkness and corruption be exposed and collapse and that people awaken to their own heart energy and reconnect to their Divinity. I see it and I feel it. But most of all, I believe it. Now I realize this sounds so very 1960s Hippy Dippy. I get it. Like I said, I would have laughed at something like this. But even scientific projects such as The Global Consciousness Project out of Princeton University have demonstrated that our collective thoughts have an impact on the planet in a measurable way. And if our collective thoughts impact the resonance of this planet, so do our individual thoughts and intentions.
So I ask you, should I send hateful thoughts; thoughts of fear, anger and discord? And if I were to do so, what result should I expect in my own life? So, imagine if millions and millions of people around the world sent forth thoughts and intentions of love, peace, joy and abundance to the entire planet? Well, it turns out millions are already doing this. Of course this is not something you’ll see on the evening news. In fact, there have been countless mass meditations for peace; even in certain crime ridden cities where, during the meditation, the number of calls to the police literally vanished, only to rise again afterward. (You can research all of this, as well)
I don’t know anyone personally who does not want a better, more peaceful world. But I think most people do not understand how powerful their own thoughts and intentions are. Spoiler Alert: They are INCREDIBLY powerful! I also think so many live in a reality shaped only by mainstream news, which is designed to keep you tuning in and scared out of your mind! Turn it off. Spend time alone and in Nature. Start to intentionally visualize the things of beauty in life; especially in your own. While you do this, realize and KNOW that your thoughts have as much creative power as the very original thought which created the Universe. Quantum Physics, after all, has shown that Consciousness is the original cause of the existence of matter. Not the other way around. This is not me. Einstein said this one hundred years ago.
I invite all of you to try to begin to take control of your visualizations and intentions and send forth your own for a better world. When we change the way we look at things, the things we look at will change. I see the world as I want it to be and it’s looking better and better!
Namaste!
