Mid-week Inspiration,                                                                                  

Could you use a little more joy in your life? 

I am presently facilitating a course. It is such a wonderful experience; just for the opportunity to grow,   I see things in other people and I see reflections in me, I see things that are all me, some gifts, some talents, some opportunities to grow. 

All of these many ripples, these challenges, come down to two issues which can become either weaknesses or strengths.  The first is our penchant for acting unconsciously.  A beautiful gift when it is about getting up and walking to the bathroom in the middle of the night, unconsciousness aids us in our peace and harmony, growth and joy. If it weren’t for this capacity to operate unconsciously we would never have time to create anything new in our lives. 
Without unconscious processes the universe would not hold together; it would simply unravel into chaos. 

Unconsciousness is supported by all the laws of the universe; gravity, cause and affect, attraction, displacement and so on.  It is a wonderful thing that we can rely on such a process. 

Until we put a counterproductive pattern in there; like for example smoking, or drinking, or sarcasm, or selfishness or, or, or…

Suddenly the very principle that holds the universe together starts to unravel our lives with disease, poverty and conflict; the principle of unconscious re-creation itself is not bad, it is solely our use of it.  And once we begin to use a principle counter to the law of life or the law of creation that principle will lead to our death. 

So how is life treating you unfairly, how are things continually wrong?  God, or whatever name you choose for that power, will begin to save you only as you begin to change those deep rooted patterns.  Yes doctors, police and other professionals can sometimes provide a quick fix but the only real solution will be deep inner work, work at loving yourself and all your world.

The great teacher, Jesus, was not providing some magical cure, he was simply explaining and demonstrating powerful laws, the laws of conscious thought and creation, of surrender and attraction. The first cause of turbulence in our lives is the misuse of the principle of unconscious repetition; what goes in must come out.  The second cause of turbulence in our lives is a product of choosing unconsciously, the company we keep.  The people we associate with continually express to us ideas that reinforce those unconscious patterns. 

To make real change in our lives we MUST, absolutely must change the people we associate with.  We must find people who empower us in our dreams, people who demand of us to live up to a higher standard.  We must choose the ones who will build us to our greatness.
