Something To Remind Us When We are Feeling Down and Useless.

Today was one of those days where my emotions are down. As I woke up, voices are speaking and nagging in my mind saying, "you need to do this, you need to do that," "again you have no accomplishments today," "you are no longer productive."

I really do not know. Maybe these are effects of our current society being compulsive on goals? Habits that were formed throughout my life? A goal-based past reality and habits wherein we tend not to be happy until a certain goal or thing is reached? Or it could be that I am really lazy and just chose to play with the little kids next door, not doing something "productive" as the world currently defines it? Sometimes the thought that I have no where to go creeps in. And the fear that I would not amount to anything also knocks in my head.

I think this is the first time in my life, that I was doing less than ever. I used to do a lot of things in work, worry about many things. Maybe the worrying became a habit that even though I am no longer doing anything, I am worried that I should do something! Weird mind that I have.

This dawned on me that this is the nature of our current society as it is. Moving on about, rushing things, doing one thing after another, cramming all things, and being stressed in the process. All these health problems rise up because of that. And maybe relationship problems too.

I think we need to get back to basics and simplify life. Be less in the world and more in touch with the spirit. I just think we have to start that process, that journey. It could not be done in an instant, but it is a journey worth taking.

I went out of our garage. After I fed the dogs with their dinner, I looked above at the moon. I noticed that it does look brighter than when I was still a young boy. I looked at it, looked at the stars, wondering about all this existence. I was also feeling the emotions inside of me as they are happening. As I also wanted to free them.

And as I got back in, I clicked on this video by Bashar on my computer. And it led me to a message that pulled me up to lighter state:

After hearing this, it just felt better and a little lighter. Thank God. And in one of my habits, I always want my challenging moments produce something positive for myself and for others. I always want to "alchemize" negative energies into positive ones for all. And because of that I figured out that there may be someone out there that is also undergoing these kinds of things (I know a lot do, from time to time). And so I created this post. I hope that this would be of help.

Please remember, that you are not alone. We are a big family, loving and supporting each other, though maybe not consciously as always, but I believe through our unconscious intentions such as coming from the love that emanates in our hearts. The energy coming from our hearts is truly amazing.

I love you always,

Carlo

Hear What You Need To Hear. Learn What You Need To Learn. An Interesting Definition of Abundance. Introducing, Bashar.

I got the chance to know about Bashar while listening to the radio program where Tobias Lars got in as a guest. For an introduction to personal awakening coach Tobias Lars, here is my past post of him. Click this LINK.

The seminars of Bashar (channeled by Darryl Anka) are music to my ears. A soothing breeze to my sometimes (hmm, maybe most of the time instead, at these "transitioning years") troubled and confused soul. And what is amazing is that the lessons come from him at the exact moment that I need it.

Not before. Not after. But at the exact moment that I needed it.

Bashar brings a calm perspective on how to approach the different aspects of life. Topics like abundance, spiritual healing, emotional healing, patience, and other relevant issues that trouble humanity nowadays. He shows you a clear path on how tread life as it is. And he tells us to enjoy! To act in our highest excitement in every moment. He also gives tools through advice and through music on how to heal our spiritual and emotional wounds.

He has a very liberating definition of abundance and he encourages us to adapt to it. Since majority of humanity nowadays are troubled by this aspect with the status of the current "economy". 

Here it is:

Here are other videos to further clarify the point:

Enjoying the process as it happens, And the reason why you have "less" right now:

He has lots of videos in You Tube and you can pick which you resonate to. The being is very wise. 

He lights up something in you after hearing him speak.

Good Day To You!

Looking Within Yourself. The Patch Parables from Spirit Science.

Hey there! If you have been watching the Spirit Science videos that I have introduced before, Link of that post, below:

Spirit Science Videos

If you are, then you may be familiar with the cartoon character named "Patch". Well I have found gems of wisdom inside the Spirit Science You Tube channel like these parables that I'm going to share with you.

This first video typically illustrates the kind of world that we have lived in the past. That it is all about materialism, ego, tendencies of putting material things above relationships, which is mostly and probably the cause of the wars happening or that happened in our world.

Well the good thing coming out of those is that we are now able to know what kind of world we do not want. And MORE importantly, what kind of world we would want to build starting right now.

If those wars caused these calamities, heartaches, broken families, etc. then would you want to continue the cycle? 

Or maybe let us interpret it in a smaller scale and this is common here in the Philippines: if a certain dispute over a property causes your relationships with your family members be broken and turn ugly, then would you want to live in a situation like that?

And in a much "smaller" scale, a quarrel between your friend over lent money that was never paid. Turning into exchanges of harsh words or even taking it onto the courts.

Let us look within ourselves. And then decide what kind of world we want to live in.

Continually seek wisdom and not let the ego take over. The wisdom may not come in the form of these cartoons. The wisdom may come from a friend or from your parents. Or the wisdom could come in prayer, in meditation.

Love is the new currency. It is the new way of exchange.

Appreciating you always,

Carlo

A Fresh Perspective. The Teachings of a Spiritual Catalyst Named Teal Scott.

Here is another teacher which helped me understand the different aspects of our life. In the pursuit of knowing how to feel good every time, sometimes I get emotional "tantrums" of feeling lost and wanting to know something. Upon hearing her somehow I get an answer. I get another piece of the puzzle.

I have learned about her from the Spirit Science videos that I wrote about in this entry: Is there Such Thing as a ''Science'' for Spiritual Topics?

I think I am an information addict. I seem to continuously search for answers from the questions that my heart brings (almost everyday). After listening to her, you kind of have a deeper understanding of that specific area and gain an insight not heard before. From which you can apply immediately and see the results at your perspective.

You will understand what I mean from those last few statements by watching her videos.

I was surprised by how young she is and the wisdom she has at that age. And she is beautiful. She is a fresh sight to behold. A total healing for the soul.

She has lots of videos in You Tube worth watching. Pick one that resonates with you each time.

In one of her videos, introducing, Teal Scott

There you go, I hope I have given you another doorway to aid in the healing of your soul and another step in your spiritual journey.

See you on the next door,

Carlo

And One Thing Led to Another... Learning from Tobias Lars

And so.. after finishing the videos from the Spirit Science series. Here is my blog post about it:

http://spiritualawakeningphilippines.blogspot.com/2013/03/is-there-such-thing-as-science-for.html

I was having the impression that this dude Jordan that made the Spirit Science videos had researched extensively regarding topics about spiritual stuff.

Here is his channel, he lives by his passion, travelling the world and meeting interesting people:

http://www.youtube.com/user/jordanduchnycz

And so, coming back to his Spirit Science channel, I browsed his recommended videos and saw an interesting teacher. One who recommends facing all the negative stuff hidden in ourselves, feeling them and finally freeing it all. Because the negative stuff is "heavy" releasing it enables you to feel "lighter"

Face it. Feel it. Free it.

He is Tobias Lars. One thing that resonated with me is that he is as real as it gets. He is like us. He also has his shares of "setbacks" in life just like the rest of us. I have learned a lot from him especially in his radio guesting in Soul Journeys Radio with the bubbly host Christie Aphrodite.

If you are someone who is tired of all the negativity. Or you are hurt in some way. And you want to be freed of it. You can check out Tobias Lars. He can be of help. You can search his name in You Tube and click on his videos which feel good to you.

Here is one of them:

Living here on earth (or should I say, the physical dimension..) is a great experience. We should lighten up! and enjoy the ride, along with its ups and downs.

Remember that what happens outside is only a reflection of what is inside you. If you don't like the outside, step back, reflect a while and ask, "Maybe there is something inside me that is causing this. Maybe there is something inside of me (be it thoughts, beliefs, or feelings) that I need to change.." After pointing it out, by the way, remember this is a process, it may take a while before you can pinpoint it fully. Pinpointing it out brings awareness to it. And once you are aware of it, you now have the power to change it. 

Changing the inside is also a process. It does not mean that if you do one thing changing your internal that it immediately manifests on the outside. It will also take a certain amount of time (some are fast, some are slow, different lag times in many different cases). The time delay is a characteristic of this physical dimension that we are currently in.

More to come in succeeding posts!

Recognizing the Light in You,

Is there Such Thing as a ''Science'' for Spiritual Topics?

Some things do happen in an unexpected way and in beautiful synchronicity.

It was early November last year (2012), at that time I was having a stressful week from my sales work. I was rushing to reach my target quota and maybe because of that I was experiencing insomnia. But then after my mind could not take it, finally I decided just to take a break and have a breather. To take my mind off from work.

While taking my break, a thought crossed my mind, "This violent rushing of our society, of working, getting from place to place, being busy as we call it, getting all stressed out, hurrying up to our deaths, what is this all for?"

"Is this all worth it?"

This made me reminisce way back in the year 2009 where after an emotional breakdown, I asked the questions, "What am I really here for?," "What is the truth?" Well these questions led me to exploring the Bible at that time.

Going back to 2012, I was then browsing You Tube that day, I found another perspective of things which resonated with me. I am an information freak, I like to learn new things up to its details as long as it felt good with me exploring it. I investigate it and see if it felt right or it has a sense of truth in it.

There I saw the Spirit Science video series. It was one of the suggested videos at the side while you are looking at the current video. I could not remember what was I watching at that time which led me to clicking the Spirit Science series. It had a catchy appeal since it was animated and in cartoons.

Here is the first video of the series:

And if you want to see the rest of the series, the page of the playlist, click HERE

The series is really interesting and it has a certain truth and depth to it. It is also good that it is presented in a light and enjoyable manner. It is then up to you to believe or not. Just see if any of the videos also resonate with something inside of you.

Enjoy!

My Realization of the Existence of Ego

Or the Egoic mind, as some may call it.

The book, A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle opened this to me.

The book fell literally on my lap as my mother, an Oprah fan, bought this as one of Oprah's book club listings. I saw it on her bag and was intrigued. Upon seeing it, I said out loud to her, "This book is good!" which seems weird since I have not yet known or heard about Eckhart Tolle before.

You know that weird intuition wherein you feel something good about something you've only seen for the first time? Well I got that feeling upon seeing and holding this book. It had a certain energy in it.

One of the topics he discussed in his book is the existence of the ego.

From my understanding in reading this, the ego is an entity inside us that seeks excessively more than what you need, be it prestige or possessions, defends and builds-up "self-image", one that is highly attached to worldly stuff and would choose those stuff over true relationships and unconditional love. The ego loves the world and lets you make it your "god". Eckhart Tolle tells us that when we are aware of the ego in us and be a witnessing consciousness behind it, we prevent it to take over our lives and our decisions. The technique is to catch it doing its thing before it overtakes you as a person and let you do unnecessary things, harm others and harm yourself.

He also said that the human ego is one of the main causes of wars and conflicts that plagued humanity in the past centuries. But the ego is not to be judged or be made into an enemy. It is to be accepted as a part of the journey. It has its role and its place in our evolution as a specie.

Eckhart Tolle's teachings resonated well with something inside of me. It is as if he just reminded me of many things that I used to know before but had forgotten.

Aside from his books, there are lots of videos over the internet about Eckhart Tolle. And the discussion regarding the awareness of the ego is just one of his teachings. Here is one of them:

To be enlightened, is to lighten up! When? NOW. =)

Have a great week!
