courage

There is a change point at the level of courage. Below the level of courage are states of consciousness that lead to suffering. At the level of courage, we have the courage to look at ourselves and recognize that we are at the source of our own suffering and we also have the potential to be at the source of creating our own joy and peace.

"Surely the bravest are those who see what must be done and go out and do it anyway." (Thucydides)

Dear Soul Friend,

Courage is the golden thread that draws us ever higher into the inner realms of God.

Courage is the fuel that gives us strength to make our journey through life. If you feel you are lacking in courage, know that coming to Earth to have a spiritual experience was in and of itself a great act of bravery. If you want to be more courageous, here are some things that can help you do so:

* Trust in God: When you put your life in God's hands, you are as safe and as protected as you can be while in this lower world of karma and reincarnation. This does not mean you should throw caution to the winds and ignore common sense rules of safety. It means you should go forth into the world in a sensible way, knowing that most people in the world are good and that most situations most of the time are perfectly safe for you.

* Focus on Safety: What you focus on with the most emotional intensity is what you get in the universe. When you focus on fear by envisioning fearful situations and outcomes, you are actually creating them. Only you can control what you focus on. So start creating your own reality as you would like it to be. Focus on safety: see yourself as being safe and protected at all times. Make safety your reality so that you can become courageous.

* Act with Courage: Here is what the old saying "A coward dies a 1,000 deaths, the brave man just once" really means. In the moment requiring courage, the brave person acts with courage based on who they really are inside. The brave person is satisfied with their conduct in the past and has no need to regret what happened. The cowardly person is never satisfied with themselves and relives the past by thinking of what they could or should have done with that past courageous moment. So, being courageous, means is acting from who we really are inside the courageous moment without fear knowing that at all times God will act to protect us.

Attractor Fields

Let's start from the idea that the whole universe, including everything in it, is a sea of energy, which we can term a field of consciousness, traditionally associated with divinity or God. Within that all encompassing sea of energy, there are numerous energy fields, each with distinct properties.

Dr. David Hawkins, author of Power Vs. Force, uses the term Attractor Fields to describe the field of energy specific to a level of consciousness. Each level on his Map of Consciousness is associated with a distinct attractor field and that field predominates in the experience of the person at that level of consciousness.

I see an attractor field as a matrix of energy surrounding the physical body. It includes the aura, but is not limited to it. The field contains thoughts that have been realized within the body and sent back out into the surrounding energy field to attract circumstances back to us that reflect those thoughts, giving the illusion that there is an objective reality "out there". The Heisenberg principle, which states that it is impossible to have objective observation independent of the person doing the observing, scientifically supports this.

People with low levels of consciousness, for example at the level of Shame (calibrating at 20 on Hawkins' scale) have dense attractor fields that are close in around the body. It's difficult for anything of higher frequency to get through this field so the person has difficulty seeing beyond the shame that dominates their consciousness. In contrast, people at the level of Love (calibrates at 500 on Hawkins' scale) have more expanded, less dense attractor fields, so their potential experience is much less limited.

The human brain is a receiver of thought energy and converts the thought energy into electromagnetic energy. Certain thoughts tend to predominate in an attractor field. Individuals will think those thoughts over and over again, thinking they belong to them, whereas actually they are a function of the attractor field. When those thoughts are processed, they are experienced in the body and sent back out into the attractor field, where they continue to attract the same circumstances to that individual.

According to Hawkins, individuals are born with a certain level of consciousness, hence the attractor field is already in place at birth. This level can be changed, but in practice, most people do not vary much from their birth level, and some may even drop in consciousness.

The human Will is what allows us to progress beyond the attractor field we are in. Any time we allow more unlimited thoughts to register in our brains (without allowing the ego to block them) the brain develops new neural pathways for changing those higher frequency thoughts into electromagnetic energy to register in the body.

To activate the Will, one can simply use intent, but in practice it is difficult to change levels of consciousness on one's own. Traditionally, the student seeks out a teacher at a higher level of consciousness, and the attractor field of the teacher adds the necessary energy for the student to expand his or her attractor field. By the same token, the benefit of attending self-help groups or classes that calibrate at higher levels is the energy of the attractor field and its power to uplift us.

THE SECRET OF THE VIOLET FLAME

http://violetflame4u.com/karma/secret.html

Not everyone who gives the violet flame sees violet light or hears unusual sounds. Some sense violet when they close their eyes and focus on the energy center between their eyebrows. Others simply feel happier or more in tune with their Higher Self.

The violet flame imparts a feeling of élan--of vibrancy, buoyancy and vitality. It helps you to be merciful and forgiving. How does it do this? By transmuting your negative karma.


Negative energy can manifest as everything from disease or accidents to ingrained habit patterns that keep you from getting along with others. This negativity is recorded in your aura, which is the energy field that surrounds your physical body. The aura reflects positive thoughts and feelings, but it can also reflect feelings such as anger, hatred, jealousy or frustration. This includes vibrations you pick up from those around you as well as your own accumulated karma and records of past lives.

Once you have begun to use the violet flame to clean up your aura, you will discover that it can create positive change at all levels of your being. The violet flame can free you to progress spiritually, to enjoy the full benefit of positive energy descending from your God Presence and to realize your highest potential. Uniting with your Higher Self can take many years or even lifetimes. But each time you invoke the violet flame, you are bringing yourself closer to that goal.

The more you give violet-flame decrees, the more you free yourself from limiting conditions. Then you, as an instrument of God's love, are better able to help others. You will find that when people contact your aura, they too will receive healing and upliftment.

The true purpose of miracles is to restore wholeness to the body and to achieve union with the Higher Self. Jesus used the power of the Holy Spirit to work his miracles. The first miracle he performed was at the marriage feast in Cana of Galilee, where he turned water into wine.

The water symbolized the human consciousness being transformed into the violet wine of the Holy Spirit. This is a clue that Jesus was using the violet-flame aspect of the Holy Spirit to perform this miracle. Once you are transformed by the violet flame, you, the alchemist, can also perform miracles of spiritual and physical healing.

The violet flame goes after the schisms which cause psychological problems that go back to early childhood and previous incarnations and that have established such deep grooves within the consciousness that in fact they have been difficult to shake lifetime after lifetime.

Courage and Willing to Change

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is that little voice at the end of the day that says: "I'll try again tomorrow."
--Anne Hunninghake

“A key quality that distinguishes a successful athlete, or a top-notch performer in any field, is the way he responds to his bad days. Everyone has good days and bad days, and the good ones are certainly easier to handle. But do we allow the bad ones to throw us off our course? Are we so shaken by our mistakes or troubles that we lose our focus on our goals?

Adult development is a process; it's never an end goal that we reach and hold. Our healing and recovery includes preparing ourselves to respond well to the bad days. We can do that by keeping our eye on the big picture, knowing that however bad things may seem at the moment, they will change. We learn to reach deep into our spiritual center for the courage to stay focused in the midst of our hardest days. We don't have to do it alone. We have the spiritual support of our Higher Power and the companionship of our friends to keep us on the path.

Today I will stay in touch with my spiritual center to find the courage for another day.”
As you can guess, as a Life Coach whose niche is addiction recovery, this writing hit me between the eyes like a 2’x4’. It is not only applicable to today’s journey for me, but to those I coach and those who require coaching.
To respond to those bad days, and keep moving forward, an athlete requires the tools that allow them to take things in stride. High performance people in athletics, and most in life, are coached to learn tools and bring out the best from within.
Courage is needed to change. Courage is needed to put new tools into practice, even after a less than stellar day.
One of the great things about coaching is working with people with courage. They have the potential, and it is a blessing to see them respond to the challenges they face.
It is great to see people realise their potential and win in the game of life!
