Using Your Powers is All About Taking Action, but not just Any Kind of Action - Aligned Action.

What is Aligned Action? and What is the Difference between Aligned and MisAligned Action?

Aligned Actions are Taken + Motivated by an Emotional State that Supports You + What You Want .

Oftentimes we take action Motivated by a Feeling of Urgency + Stress + Fear of the consequences “if we don’t take action”. Those Are MisAligned Actions.

What we tend to not realize is that those ” if I don’t….whatever…(enter worst case scenario here) could happen” statements that appear in our heads are the very sign that Most Likely you won’t allow that to happen, So. Why Use It As your Motivation? It doesn’t Make You Feel Good.

Wouldn’t it be *so much* Better if you Used Supporting Yourself + Your Desires as the Motivation Behind the Actions in Your Life?!?

When you Make The Decision To Align With Your Every Action, They become So Much More Powerful because with Each One of Them You Are Now Supporting Who You Are + Your Intentions + Desires - Now Every One of Your Actions is bringing you Closer To All of It.

When you take MisAligned Action - motivated by Feelings that Don’t Bring You Closer to The Ones you are trying to Achieve- it feels like a Struggle to get even the simplest things done.

That is because Aligned Actions are As Constructive As MisAligned Actions are Disruptive. The Same that Aligned Actions will take you closer on Every Level to the Realization of Your Intentions + Desires, MisAligned Actions will Discourage + Distract + Delay You from the Realization of Your Intentions + Desires.

But you’ve got Tools to Work With, Ways to Align Yourself + Actions + Thoughts + Emotions with What You Want.

Your Powers Are The Tools You’ve Got as a Human Being to Face and Go through Life and its Tests + Challenges.

These Powers or Tools aren’t something we’ve been necessarily Encouraged to give too much thought to in this Civilization + Culture we live in - but we are collectively paying more + more attention to this Side of Ourselves as times goes by, because we are beginning to realize how ignoring our Powers and Under·playing + Under· utilizing Them Makes No Sense.

Your Powers Have Always Been There, they are Intrinsically a Part of Who You Are and they are there for you To Use + To Serve You in Your Life Experience.

We just aren’t used to fully Embracing + Leveraging Them for our own Good + Benefit.

It’s All a Matter of Habit. We are creatures of Habit, it is How Our Brains Work. We Establish Emotional + Thought + Action Patterns or Habits since we are very little - based on What We Are Told + What We Observe + What We Experience. These Patterns of Emotion + Thought + Action Become Our Personalities + Beliefs + Perspectives + Realities, They Become our Everyday Lives.

When You Find Yourself Wanting To Be Different or Live Differently in Any Way - A Revolution of Consciousness is Necessary - But it does not need to be Violent or Abrupt, it can be as easy as Softly Establishing a New Habit of Looking or Dealing with Things that CounterActs The Habit You Wish To Change.

A Lot of Times when we want to change we Focus Too Much on Ridding Ourselves Of Our Old Ways or Habits, and it becomes A Hard Task.

It’s a good example of MisAligned Action. By Focusing mainly on What Needs to Be Changed or What You Don’t Like you Aren’t Really Supporting Your Own Decision To Change.

It is Much Easier to Consistently Establish New Good Feeling Habits and pay the Least Attention Possible to your Old Habits, until your New + Better Habits Take All of Your Attention + The Old Ones Just Fade Away.

To Deactivate Old Thoughts + Emotions + Beliefs + Patterns that No Longer Serve You - Patiently + Consistently Establish Counter Habits Until the Old Ones Disappear. Revolutionize Your Life Little by Little, One Habit At A Time.

This is a Confused Frightened World . Something To Run Away From.

A Lot of us Learned to Think of the World this way. And it is ONLY because we have not yet Realized that Thinking About the World in that way And, Most Importantly- Feeling it is True, is The Very Thing that is Creating A World that Feels That Way.

See, the Only problem we really have is Just How Much We Belittle and Put Ourselves Down. We Are The Creators of This World + Life + Experience and you just Haven’t Been Realizing How Much Power You Really Have Over Your Own Environment + Surroundings + All Aspects of Your Life + Experience of it.

We tend to give Everyone and Everything Way Too Much Credit and Rarely give Ourselves Enough.

It is also Important to Point Out that the ONLY reason You Haven’t Yet Realized This Completely Yourself (if you, in fact, haven’t) is Because We, as a Species and Civilization, have set up Lifestyles + Systems + Beliefs that keep us Distracted from These Facts and Encourage Us to Believe Pretty Much the Opposite.

Realizing Your Powers is a Process of Attunement.

First You Understand How Your Life Works + How Powerful You Are.

Then You Feel Where You Are and Where You Want To Be.

After That, is All About Tuning + Fine Tuning All Day, Everyday.

Thought by Thought, Feeling by Feeling You Use What You Will Realize Are Your Tools + Powers to Bring Yourself Closer + Align Yourself with What You Want.

Have You Ever Felt like Life was Happening To You?

Actually, it is more like You are Happening To Your Life.

You just aren’t keeping track of how it is all exactly going down. You aren’t in Conscious Control of Your Own Powers, Mostly because you are hardly Aware of them or How They actually Work.

Becoming Aware of Your Powers and How They Work and Affect Your Life +Experience is the First Step Towards Taking Conscious Control of Your Life + Destiny.

The reason so many Extraordinary People often find themselves Depressed or Disillusioned with Life is because we are very Sensitive and In Tune with Our Own Feelings and Emotions and we can’t Feel Right or Properly Function as long as we Deny ourselves of our True Nature.

Feeling down is actually a sign that your Guidance is Alive and Working Well and Trying to Send You a Message.

You are Powerful and that is Your Nature. You have Powers + Abilities that You May Not Be Completely Aware Of. And They have been Working All Along. They never Cease To Be because They are Part of Who You Are. But You Might Have Been Blocking Them.

There Are Three Elements to The Realization of Your Powers:

1.Emotions Are Living Beings’ Power of Guidance.

They Are Like Your Master ‘Life’ GPS. They Are Meant to Guide You in Your Path with Great Accuracy and Precision. They can be Your Biggest Help + Ally IF you Understand Their Language and Their Function. They can also confuse + distract + overwhelm You if you Don’t.

Their Language is Intimately Tied In with Our Own Purpose + Nature.

Your Emotions Are Constantly Talking To You and ONLY You About Your Life Experience + Your Focus + How On or Off Track It is with Who You Really Are + Who You Want To Be + Your True Nature.

2. MetaPhysics is The Study of The How’s + The Why’s of this Reality + Life + Existence.

It is About Uncovering the Wisdom and Truths that not only Surround Us but Of Which We Are also Made Of.

The Truths + Relationships + Processes that Apply to All Things in this reality.

The Natural Ways of The Universe + Existence.

Time + Space + Being + Dieing + Expansion + Destruction + Creation + Decay

3. Mind + Body + Spirit Are The Three Parts that Currently Make Up You.

They are Intimately and Intrinsically Inter·Connected + Inter·Dependent + Inter·Twined.

Observing the Relationship and Connection of your Mind + Body + Spirit You Will See it Measures + Indicates Your Attunement to Who You Really Are, Your Own Powers And Their Effects + Consequences.

Realizing Your Powers to their Fullest Potential and Being the Best You Can Be is An Everyday, All Day Long, All Life Long type of Process. It is “The Work”. But in reality, it is not work at all, because When you Do It, Life Feels Easier + Better + Brighter than it could have Ever Before and it only Gets Better and Better.

Knowing Yourself is Important. You could say it’s the First Step towards Happiness. The Better you know Yourself as an Individual and a Human Being, the Better you will be able to Respond to and Make of Your Life.

Getting to Know Yourself Better Deserves putting your Time + Energy + Effort and Making it a Major Priority in your life because it will Radically Affect the way you Experience and Live your Life.

By developing a Deep Understanding of Yourself and your Behavior, you will be able to easily Utilize your Strengths and Overcome your Weaknesses. But Most Importantly, you will learn Extremely Valuable Information about Yourself and How You Work on All Levels, as well as your fellow Human Beings and your Life in General.

You are a Complex Being. More than you may Initially Realize. But in the Most Basic level there are two main aspects to all of us: our Physical Selves and our Non- Physical Selves.

Our Physical Selves are the ones we are usually most in Touch with: your Body, Name, Gender, Age, Health, Shape + Size, Race and Roles in this Physical World. But in reality, our physical selves only constitute a small percentage of Who We Really Are - we are More Non- Physical than Physical.

Your Non- Physical Self is: your Thoughts, Feelings, Emotions, Intentions, Desires, Inclinations, Impulses, Tastes + Preferences, Opinions, Concepts, Ideas, Values ect ect ect. You could call it your Personality but it’s Deeper and Bigger than that.

Your non -physical self Influences + Shapes + Directs your Physical Self and as a result, it is the Physical Expression of your Non- Physical Self.

I am sure you have experienced, as have I, doing something not knowing exactly why just to realize later it was really the perfect thing to do at that exact time. This usually happens when you’re Going With The Flow. Your non-physical side is the Bigger + Deeper + Wiser side of you that Drives You and your Life from the background. You call it: Instincts, Vibes, Hunches, Gut-Feelings, Destiny, Fate, Sixth Sense, ect… So when You Know Yourself you Trust Yourself because you realize that you know more than you think you do.

To take the Time and Make the Effort to Get to Know Yourself, like you would with your Lover or Favorite Friend is a Radical Act of Love for Yourself.

All Human problems - whether they’re personal or global - stem from a basic Lack of Self-Esteem, Love, Acceptance and Appreciation. This happens when you Don’t Try To Find Out Who You Really Are or Who You Have - over time and experiences - Become. The temporary end result of who and where you’ve been.

It’s a result of the way in which you have behaved or responded towards your life and its events. The balance between actions and reactions. The level of consciousness or unconsciousness, acceptance or denial, resistance or allowance. It’s the equation of how in touch with yourself you’ve been and how much you’ve gone with the flow and how fast you’ve adapted.

And all these things have always been more or less out of your control depending on how much you’ve gotten to know, love and appreciate yourself.

So, Get To Know Yourself :

1. Understand where you are coming from. Understand why you feel the way you do and the relationship between How you Feel About You and What You are Living.

2. Be Aware of your Feelings + Attitudes + Values and how they are Shaped and Affected by your Environment + Culture + Beliefs.

3. Comprehend the Meaning and Importance of your Desires + Emotions + Impulses and How They Color Your Experience of Your Life and Determine its Outcomes.

All Humans are 99% alike, so Truly Knowing yourself is Also Knowing about Human Behavior, which will Make Your Life Experience Much Easier + Pleasant + Effective.

Your Life is Yours, so Own it. Live your life like you Really Mean it. According to You, Always. It’s easy to find yourself in this society living to fulfill expectations that you never really Resolved you Actually Desired to fulfill. Don’t live to please other people, let alone society.

Sometimes it can seem ‘easier’ to go ‘according to plan’ and keep your ‘crazy ideas’ to yourself as just that. But I believe you have those Impulses, Ideas and Desires For A Reason and following your own Scary But Exciting path will be about a trillion times More Rewarding than doing what is expected of you or sticking to the original plan you agreed you would follow back Who-Knows-When.

Get Clear on Who You Want to Be and What You Want Your Life to Be Like.

What you’ve Done or who you’ve Been is not as important as Who and What You Truly Want To Be and Do. That is the Foundation that will give Shape to your Future. A lot of times we’ve been Led to Believe that We Can’t Change who we are or that we only have a Limited Amount of Options. I Don’t Believe this to be True. The Only limitations are the ones in Your Mind, determining where you’re allowed ‘to go’ both figuratively and literally speaking.

It’s hard to Realize this Fully at first , but when you Mix : Burning Desire + Faith in Oneself and Life/God + Undying Determination + Consistent and Focused Energy/Action Investment… You Can Achieve Anything You Set Your Mind To - it Does Not Matter Where You’re at right Now. The Key is to Never Give Up.

The only Obstacles between You and Who You Want To Be are Faulty Mental Programs that have been running behind the scenes in your life, keeping you in the current situation.

Ultimately, Freeing Your Mind is All that is required for your Absolute Success of any sort.

Free Your Mind from Unwanted Mental Programming. Detect + Asses + Replace Mental Programs.

Our Minds work a lot like Super Computers and we Adopt or Develop Mental Programs or Systems of Thinking in order to live our lives Coherently and Workably. It’s just how humans work.

If you have a bunch of little (and sometimes big) things going on in your life that bother you or make everything more difficult. Things you don’t fully understand or know how to deal with - It is the Result of Negative Mental Programming. And by Negative I mean It’s Just Not Working.

It’s a Process of Thoughts, Emotions and Actions that are taking place in response to a trigger thought/feeling/scenario of which you are not completely aware of. These programs are there to deal with things that arise in your life, they’re like automated responses that were programmed by influence + example + adoption through out your life. Also remember that there’s nothing inherently wrong with these established ways of thinking and operating unless You feel/think so - but you can’t really Assess that unless you make an Effort to Become Aware of the Mental Pattern behind the unpleasant situations in your life.

Create + Develop + Adopt Programs or Systems that Work For You.

Detect when this is going on - when you are reacting in an ‘automated response’ way about something, and then give it some thought, figure out when you first started Feeling that way About it and try to figure out Why you started to Feel that way About it.

Once you’ve figured it out it’ll be Easy to Decide an Option that either Works Better For You or you Like Better. This Will of coarse, Take a While and some Practice and Consistency. After all, it took a long time, practice and consistency to get those old patterns going in the first place. The More you do this, the Easier your life will get and the more desired results and outcomes you will experience.

The Purpose of Life is Joy. We often forget that All that Really Matters is to Have a Great Time. To Feel Good. To Be Happy.

That means Many Different things to as many different people, But it is All The Same. Whatever Rocks your Socks.

If you don’t really know what Makes *You* Happy - it’s time to Find Out! They may have forgotten to tell you in school but Your Life Depends On It. It’s what Life Is About. It’s The Point.

Life is About Joy because Experiencing Joy is how you figure out which Way to Go and What You Want To Create in Your Life. Joy is what Motivates and Drives You.

Anything you could ever Desire - relationships, money, bodily conditions, adventures, opportunities, experiences - you want because you Think that you Will Feel Good or Better once you have them. You think it’s The Having of those things will bring you Fulfillment or Joy, but the truth is that Joy is the Indicator that what you are Currently Doing or Focusing Your Attention On is in Alignment with You . It’s what you should be doing. You’re On the Right Track.

Enjoyment = Enlightened Joy.

Enlightenment is just a Fancy Word for Super-Awareness, and Most of Us experience it At Least once in a while. Usually when we are feeling a lot of JOY. The challenge for most of us is to Sustain that feeling Within, and Learn to Live from it Always. After all, sometimes life gets difficult and you can’t always be surrounded by your favorite people, doing your favorite things.

When you are Doing or Focusing Your Attention On Something that You Truly Enjoy - you are feeling the Joy that exists Within You. The feeling you identify as The Best - and you are using whatever you are doing as a Reason or excuse to Let That Feeling Fill You.

When you find something that brings you Great Joy (anything!) - keep doing it and as much as you can because What You Focus On Materializes and Grows in Your Life and soon you will find more and more reasons to Love and Feel Passionate about your life.

Sometimes we get So used to the relative Perfection of our lives and the looking for the (in the big scheme of things) Miniature Problems that arise that we don’t even Notice when we’re actually having a Wonderful Time. Total Happiness always happens in the simplest ways, when you least expect it.

By Acknowledging and Expressing Yourself or your Feelings in whatever way tickles your fancy, you are Embracing + Exploring + Prolonging those feelings and eventually Living from Them. In other words - Expressing Yourself Fuels Your Life.

What you Put Out in life is what you Receive in life and when you use ANY medium to Focus Your Attention on Joyful Feelings - Consistently, Often, Most of the Time! - you get into a groovy flow and you find yourself living Boldly and Purposefully, which Cultivates your dreams and makes them Sprout + Grow + Blossom into Reality.

Your Life is Your Creation. You are the Driving Force behind your life and you Can’t even Help It. All Day, Every Day you are making choices and decisions that are creating and giving shape to your life. Even when you Choose to Let other people make decisions For you - that is still what You are creating in Your life.

Any Dream You Have, You Can Make It Come True. Your fantasy can Always become reality. If you have the Ability to Dream it Up - this life is capable of delivering it to you, or rather, You have the Ability to Make It Happen for Yourself in what feels like a Collaboration with life.

Have a Blast . Create your life Consciously by making yourself feel good by doing and thinking things that feel good. Enjoy Expressing Yourself.

I also wore this amazing sparkly hand knit headband made for me by Jacob Hawkins a.k.a. The Sweetie.

It was really an amazing talk and I feel like I gained a lot from it.

And on a side note, I must mention how fashionable Dr. Chopra was. He looked charming and so modern even wearing sparkly glasses!

I’ve glued a thing or two to my paintings/drawings before but this is the first time I’ve done it so deliberately.

A while ago I got some metallic paints and I’ve been loving the way they look on wood. Combined with the rhinestones + glitter + glossy finish, it looks like wall jewelry.

This is the result of my first try, which I finished at the end of January. I used part of a drawing that I found in one of my sketchbooks from years ago (yes, way before I had dreads. yes, I draw the future )

I love how this turned out. I wish the paper hadn’t gotten all wrinkly and bumpy after putting glossy sealer on top, I still have a lot of experimenting to do.

But I like the direction in which things are going

N. asked me why would I paint the back if no one was going to see it, and I said it was like asking “why add a lining to a skirt?”. I think it says a lot about me.
