What Are You Thinking?

Awareness and deliberate Intention.

 Are you aware of what you are thinking? Are you aware that your thoughts are creating things in your lives and in the lives of other people? Are you are that your thoughts are like arrows of energy that fly out into the universe on an elliptical pattern and come back around flying through the lives of so many millions of people before that arrow comes back to hit your life? Some arrows have elliptical orbits that last for years. Some have orbits that only take seconds but they all come back to affect you directly. A simple thought of displeasure creates myriads of other thoughts of displeasure. A thought of kindness creates a myriad of other thoughts of kindness. Are you aware of what you are putting out into to the world to affect you and others?

How deliberately then should you be choosing your every thought? Perhaps it’s time to understand that you think too much! I teach you to become an observer. That is the best use of your mind. To take in information and learn what you can learn, to perceive the Essence of Creator here which is what you came here to do; not to think, not to create danger and illness with your errant thoughts. Thoughts are not the big wonders of your life. Sure, you were taught that thinking is important and for the ordinary man who judges himself by what he can create I suspect creating thoughts is a major past time for that person. But now that you realize that all his or her thoughts are also affecting your life and your reality and the world at large and Mother Earth and the whole universe, you might now wish that people would think less. Isn’t this why the Buddhists practice no thought meditation so very much? At least they are trying to not influence the universe in a negative way.

What do you intend? Are you aware of what you intend? You should be at every moment! How many intentions do you have? Probably too many. What is an intention? It is a thought backed with emotion. Emotion is the power or energy that propels the arrow of intention.  It is your emotional feeling about that thought that makes that though so powerful. Do you control your feelings? Or do you let your feelings run your life? Is everything in your life about “how does this thought make me feel emotionally?” If this is how you run your life I guarantee you that you are not happy. Let me show you another way to run your life as captain of your ship, as the authority figure for your own life in my Shaman Apprenticeship 101 Course.  Let me show you how my ancestors ran their lives and become powerful and effective healers able to do miracles.

Day 87 Package Bombs

So many times we make a choice based on nothing at all. We assume something or we take a chance or we talk ourselves into something or we believe what someone else says. All too often that choice is not a good choice. We choose to believe something with no basis in fact at all, with no foundation, with no real information at all. We let that thing become our reality by choosing to believe in it. It is amazing how sloppily we choose our beliefs and let those beliefs create our reality. A simple distaste for something, a quick decision about how we feel about something, an experience that we didn’t enjoy one time, basically a shot in the dark creates our reality and forms our experiences. How can we be so cavalier with our lives? Is it any wonder that people have dis- ease?

Wouldn’t it be better to not choose anything at all rather than to choose something you know nothing about? Why do we always pick up those mystery packages along our paths? Are we so dissatisfied with what we already have? Yes we are! For most of us, any other package seems more appealing then not having a package at all. We want things. We want diversions and toys and mystery trains and surprises. And what causes this? Desire, dissatisfaction with what we have. After all, what we have now is most likely the result of making choices based on nothing as well. So we go from bad choice to bad choice all our lives. No wonder we have dis-ease.

So how can we end this dis-ease and have a life that does benefit us? By choosing what we believe very carefully. We need to investigate things more thoroughly. We need to consider all choices and their ramifications before we make a choice. We need to be more conscious of what we are doing.  If we have to take days or weeks to understand a situation in order to make a good choice, then take that time because that choice is going to create your reality, maybe even for a long time to come. That package may be a bomb. How are you going to know? By perceiving it. By using your outer and inner senses to perceive that package until you do know what it is. And if you cannot figure out what it is then I suggest you don’t pick it up. Better to walk past fifty pretty packages and not take any of them rather than to pick up one bomb.

Day 46 Traditional Shamanism as a Career

To be a Shaman is to practice Shamanism 24/7. You cannot be called a Shaman unless you practice it 24/7. It is a way of life, a way of living, a calling, an occupation much like a doctor or priest or Buddhist monk. Remember the old horse doctor with his little black bag who went from house to house bringing healing to the community? He was on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week. He was called upon to heal all kinds of things from chicken pox, to difficult childbirth to cancer to broken bones and everything he had to heal with was in that little black bag. This is the life of the Shaman.

The Shaman is available to everyone everywhere she goes, she is always healing, always counseling, living her life as an example to others to show the way to live in peace and health. She carries her medicine bag with a few leaves and stones and feathers and in that bag she has everything she needs to heal broken hearts, help cancer victims, heal chicken pox, whatever kind of healing she is called upon to bring. The healing is not in the black bag anyway is it! Those are just the tools. The healing is carried in the heart and mind of the doctor.

Shamanism is like becoming a doctor or a priest or a Buddhist monk. The ways of living and being are all conditioned by this career path and the true Shaman no longer lives like an ordinary man any more. Any true Shaman you encounter will definitely not be an ordinary man or woman and that will be apparent from the very first moment you meet them.  You will notice that he or she is light hearted, balanced, aware of everything you cannot even perceive, in good health and not physically mentally or emotionally ill at all. The true shaman is a person who has already done the work to heal themselves completely and now has become an example to the world of what true health and love look like by their own example living it. Its not common to meet a true Shaman. In fact it is said there are only about 50 true Shamans left in the world today.

Day 40 Is There A Difference Between an Exorcism and A Soul Retrieval

Shall I tell you how many people who have tried and failed at exorcism come to me for help? Oh my goodness, if it is ever a choice between exorcism or soul retrieval, go for soul retrieval if you can find a reputable shaman willing to do it. And there will be a lot of diagnosis before a soul retrieval is done. The good shaman wants to be sure that this soul retrieval will be the answer. I ask my clients a whole ton of questions about them, about their symptoms physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I look for other causes of their symptoms besides soul loss. I consult Creator and my guides and the client's guides. I don't think the priest who does an exorcism is even able to consult with Creator on a one to one basis before he treats his client. I think if he did consult Creator, Creator would teach him to phone up a true shaman! LOL!

So there is no spiritual difference between a soul retrieval and an exorcism. The big difference is the priest makes the being come into this reality through the poor client's body and the shaman risks his or her own life to go to where the being lives and encounter it and heal it there.
