INTRODUCTION TO "Becoming Self-Aware"

Self is what you are and it's important to put your own well being first so those around you are affected in a positive way by who you are instead of what you say you are or by the advice you give. Our best teachers are our examples and you can't be the example of how to live if you don't first focus on self. Of course you should give a helping hand when it's needed, but give in moderation. Everyone is capable of taking a small gift and turning it into abundance, because we have very creative reasoning abilities.

Those who need help the most are the ones who have given up on themselves and feel that they have little self worth or no reason to live. When you show them by example how special they really are and the potential that lies within themselves, they can turn everything around and take full responsibility for their lives, regaining strength and confidence.

This is only a tiny glimpse of who we really are. We consciously chose to come here to be a guide to show others the way. The only way that you can teach them is to fully realize your own potential. You began this path many incarnations ago and each time you return here in another lifetime, you are closer to becoming self-aware.

As awareness of self has increased throughout all of our incarnations, we have started to realize its importance and potential. It has especially become a necessity in this current lifetime, not only to learn how to bring ourselves closer to that goal, but also to strive for that constant perfect state of being that already exists deep inside our souls, which is where our true inner self resides and is what truly inspires us, continuously pushing us to become more.

When you are born, you experience true freedom, freedom from society’s domination, at least until you start going to school. Then at that time, you are forced to begin conforming to a predetermined set of circumstances called life. If you stay within its boundaries and do what they tell you and study hard, you can achieve any position in life that you want. That’s what they tell us anyway.

When you accept this condition, you are putting yourself into a world of unpredictable changes which can adversely affect who you are and what you do. Consequently, most of us are fairly far along in life by the time we really know what’s going on and many never even figure it out.

This is society’s world, the one they have created for you and me to live in and do things that benefit all the rest of society. And until recently, that has worked fairly well for us, but we are experiencing many difficult, if not impossible, situations that are beyond our control with the collapse of our economy, rising unemployment and of course skyrocketing energy costs.

This world that society made for us is what I like to call the “default” world. If you do nothing but just live, you are living in the default world. You must abide by its rules and do what it deems necessary for your survival and continued contribution to everyone else. You aren’t really allowed to think freely especially if it means that you are only taking care of yourself and not contributing to society.

But there really is another way. You can learn how to create your own world of which you are in complete control and you even determine who and what is contained within it. There are 2 types of vehicles you use to do this. You create situations and you attract the things you want to fulfill them. That’s all there is to it. It’s pretty simple in theory, but more difficult to apply, although not impossible.

You are about to discover a new way to create thought and you will learn to change what you believe to accommodate what you desire. You will be incorporating new ways of communicating with others, as well as forming statements to make specific requests. It isn’t hard, but it will require you to make changes inside, and you will be guided on your journey so that you succeed with your new goals. I won’t abandon you after you have received my book and I am always as close as an instant message when you need help. I pledge to help you work through this until you get it, no matter what it takes.

When you begin the process of taking the appropriate steps to reach your goals, you must promise yourself that you will work through the techniques presented here on a daily basis. You are going to learn how to program your brain to perform tedious steps automatically, but before it will do that, you will take each step initially many times over so that they all become habit-forming. You are going to be rewiring the connections your brain makes to perform logical thought patterns.

Many people who have no real inner drive or will power to succeed will tell you that it is impossible to keep a positive attitude 100% of the time, and while this may be true to an extent, YOU have the power to choose your attitudes and your moods. The real key to achieving what you desire is never give up. If you fall off the ladder, get up, brush yourself off, and get back on it.

The most difficult challenge, that I and many others have ever faced, was quitting cigarettes. I didn’t succeed on the first try, or on the second, but I knew it was something that I needed to do, so I kept on trying until I finally succeeded. If you give up, you won’t succeed and that’s just the way it is. That’s one of life’s most basic principles.

You can listen to all the losers in life and follow them or you can listen to winners and do as they do, WIN! I have pursued this course of action persistently for many years and I am starting to be able to make real and amazing changes in my life. It didn’t happen overnight or in a few months because I had nobody to teach me. You, on the other hand, have me to show you exactly what you need to do to make it happen for you also. So you may see significant changes within months and perhaps even sooner. Don’t give up because you can be a success with this, just as I have!


I have finally finished my book, "Becoming Self-Aware", which has been 10 years in the making and it is now available to the public for a very reasonable price. There are many other self-improvement courses on the internet and I have purchased some of them and also bought printed books on these subjects. While many new concepts are presented, nobody seems to know for certain exactly what you must do to incorporate them into your life so that you can achieve real results. Consequently, if you are like me, you end up feeling that you wasted your precious time and hard earned money on material that leaves you asking more questions instead of getting real answers. Those internet courses are rather expensive, costing hundreds and even thousands of dollars, so I feel that what I am offering is not only unique and original, but very cheap in comparison, especially when you consider that you will also receive a lifetime of assistance from me via Yahoo! Messenger. If you would like a copy of my book, please email me at this address:

I will send you a free report with more information about what you will receive so that you can make a more informed decision about whether to purchase or not. I look forward to hearing from you and wish you success in your life and in all your endeavors!

I AM THE CREATOR OF MY WORLD

As I continue to progress on my journey, I realize that I have created everything, both the good and the bad. Focus and the law of attraction are significant points, but the true reality of my world is really subject to only 2 different perceptions, one as a victim and the other as creator. As a victim, which is if I don’t deliberately decide to take control of something in my world, then it defaults to a variation of my expectations for that character. In contrast, when I change my focus to creator, then that piece of my life performs exactly the way I desire it to.

 

I can only compare what I am experiencing to living in a dream, but being in control of it as I so choose, every situation, every experience, every detail and even every person. This is a very extreme concept and it puts total responsibility on me to make everything in my world to my exact specifications. I still haven’t discovered all the answers, but I have found enough of them to begin reshaping some parts of my life to my own standards. The true challenge in this is that if I fail to be aware of any part of my current situations, then it evolves on its own, perhaps in some unwanted way. This means that I have to be very aware of what’s going on around me at all times. And my brain is like a computer, in that it can only process one idea at a time.

 

As time passes and I begin to discover exactly what I want to create in my life, the unimportant pieces that I’ve brought into my existence thus far should fade and eventually disappear if no focus is brought to them. Some of my realizations have evolved out of my creative writing, taking all the content that I’ve typed into my computer as fact. Everyone creates their world or their reality, but the concept is vague and hard to visualize, especially when it contradicts everything that I was taught growing up.

 

I’m seeing now that there are as many different methods of manifesting as there are people. I’ve been reading a book entitled, “Ask and It Is Given”, which explains that we ask for what we want and then we allow the energy to return to us and that creates what we have requested. But even the ideas presented in the book seem too limiting, although I haven’t finished reading it, so I’m sure there is much more to understand. But it does bring into view another idea, which is that it was written by a human being who is relating experiences to other human beings with lesser knowledge of creating.

 

A revelation of sorts occurred to me, that my creations might not live up to my expectations, because I created them and if I wasn’t specific enough in their makeup, then the fault lies with me, not with them. Compare manifesting my life with writing a play and then being the director of it. If I don’t instruct my actors to do the scenes the way I want them to go, then I get something less than what I intended. This same idea can be applied to how our society perceives God. Christians think we’ll be punished for not living up to God’s expectations, but I believe that’s not our purpose. If we don’t live up to our creator’s expectations, then God can create something else that does, just like we can. If we can do that and God can’t, then everything is backwards and logic will no longer make any sense.

 

The book, “Ask and It Is Given”, states that when we ask for something, the universe responds by sending us Source energy. But since we are the source, that would seem to contradict itself. Perhaps this could be a lot simpler than I am making it out to be, since Source energy is not only running out of me, but also back through me. My perceptions of this reality have changed tremendously over just the past few days. What if we each have our own planet and we each are the only souls who have this creative ability, with everyone and everything else being the result of what we have created? I am led to this question because it seems that as I learn or discover something significant about manifesting, the rules seem to change and information that was previously important, now no longer applies to my situation. I’m being given just enough education to push me beyond a boundary or a threshold and once I’m there, my awareness has changed.

 

The one big question that has me perplexed so far is, how aware are the living beings who are creations of my thoughts and who are part of the scenario that I am creating for myself? Are they as real as I am and therefore are they also creating their own realities on purpose and I just happen to be a part of theirs as well? It’s amazing that as a person learns more about a given subject, he realizes how little he really does know about it. This is what’s happening to me now. I have only reached the tip of the iceberg and I am very happy to be where I am, but I have so many more questions than I had before I started to become aware of the effect that my thoughts are having on what I’ve created.

WHAT DOES THE YEAR 2012 HOLD?

As the year 2012 approaches, much is being broadcast about predictions described in Revelations and in text written by Nostradamus depicting Armageddon, catastrophe, devastation and chaos to take place for the whole planet. The History Channel has hosted many programs on this topic and as each show points out, we are definitely headed for a huge change of massive proportions of some kind here on Earth.

Many have suggested that we, ourselves, are responsible for what is currently going on with Earth changes, stemming just from global warming, which is having large scale impact on our climate, causing polar ice caps to melt, oceans to rise and species to become extinct. Statistical figures on the number of record low temperatures versus double the number of record high temps also seem to support this fact. Global warming is definitely occurring. We can speculate who is to blame or we can observe it with an open mind and see what other possibilities exist. For example, astronomers have noticed that the planet Mars is also warming, so it would seem to indicate that something other than the human race is causing our planet to heat up, even though we may be contributing to it to some degree.

In December of 2012, we will experience a galactic alignment where our sun will appear to rise through the center of the black hole of the Milky Way. Some believe that this alignment will somehow cause havoc on our world perhaps by some kind of gravitational magnification. It should be noted that we have already experienced a planetary alignment in our own solar system in the very recent past which some people believed would trigger massive earthquakes and volcanic eruptions, leading to the same sort of chaos and devastation. Of course, none of these events happened during this alignment. I remember the day it happened and it progressed just like any normal day. From my own perspective, a planetary alignment would seem much more likely to have adverse effects on us than a galactic one, since the planets are so much closer to us. Admittedly, I am neither an expert on this subject nor an astronomer.

Astronomers have also noticed that our solar system is being bombarded with waves of energy of some kind. Some say it is from the Blue Star of Hopi which went supernova about 140 years ago, but there is also another phenomenon known as the photon belt whose orbit around the Milky Way intersects with our solar system’s orbit every 26,000 years and this belt of energy is about 2,000 years wide. The last time this occurred, mankind reported to have experienced 24 hours of daylight, physical lifetimes lasting many hundreds of years void of illnesses and with heightened psychic abilities. We are already feeling some effects of this belt of photon radiation and will be fully within its influence by the year 2012.

While this may sound like something far from catastrophe or chaos, heightened psychic abilities will magnify who we really are inside and will make us transparent to other people. If we haven’t learned how to live a loving, forgiving, happy and positive life by then, all the worst qualities in us will also be magnified and our thoughts will instantly create all those negative things in our lives. In contrast, those of us who are positive and loving in our thoughts and ideas will create more of the same for ourselves.

Most Christians believe that we are either approaching or have already begun what’s known as the end times or end of days, which lead up to the return of Christ when we will be judged. All of these beliefs and events seem to be coming to a focal point where what previously seemed to have no connection to each other, are going to occur simultaneously or may in fact be the exact same thing only with different names. Some refer to the photon belt as the Christ Consciousness which won’t judge us, but will show the world who and what we have become.

Along with the characteristics that these events will bring, come more changes in us as physical beings. It is believed that the photon belt will propel us into the 4^th dimension where psychic abilities and awareness reside and then into the 5^th, which may be where heaven is located. If you are reading this, then most likely you are headed in the right direction with your life and you will experience these marvelous transformations instead of walking down the road to destruction. While all human life will be brought into the 4^th dimension, it is only a stepping stone or perhaps better described as a weeding out process to determine what happens to you next.

This being the case, judgment day won’t really be a situation where God decides where you should go, but rather your transparent self will either take you forward or backward, depending on who you have become during all of your lives and incarnations. You need not worry whether you are Christian or not, but instead be confident that you are moving forward and not backward. If your life is based on greed, hatred, spite, revenge or anything else negative in nature, you may be fairly certain that you will not be propelled into the higher worlds of the 5^th dimension, but instead, plunged back into the 3^rd where you may experience a living hell, which may be nothing more than having to reincarnate many hundreds or thousands of times until this magnificent event takes place again after the next 26,000 year cycle has been completed.

Your life is based on choices, since free will is the most basic law of the universe in our lives. What this means is that you can choose the right path or the wrong one. There is either a bright light at the end of the tunnel for you or there is darkness. Your individual beliefs determine what the future holds for you. If you continue to repeat the mistakes of the past, refusing to forgive those who have done you wrong, or placing the importance of others below yourself, based on prejudice, spite, revenge or hatred, or living your life solely to gather monetary or material possessions with little regard for those you step on or push out of the way to do so, or perhaps just forgetting that we are all brothers and sisters here on this planet and ignoring the Golden Rule, then you have already been so judged, and the coming events will clearly show this.

It’s your choice as to what happens to you next, both now and in the future. Have faith and believe that you are a good person and that you have lived your life in such a way that the world and the universe will perceive you favorably so that when that special day arrives, all your dreams will come true.

HOW REAL IS YOUR REALITY?

Are you living in a dream world? In a sense, you are. The words ‘real’ and ‘reality’ are alike in that they both are forms of one word or the other. But at the same time, what do they mean? Reality is subjective and unique to each individual. What’s real for me might not be real for you and vice versa. My reality, whether manifested while fully awake or while sleeping, is still just as real as can be.

For most, dreams while we are asleep are seemingly out of our control. We observe everything that is happening and participate just as we would normally. Some people are able to manipulate their sleeping dreams by using anchors which are usually established by making a conscious suggestion to self before falling asleep, such as making an effort to see one’s own foot or hand within the dream. An action such as this establishes an anchor point that you can use to take control of the dream, since our hands do things and our feet take us to places.

Unconsciously expecting an event to follow another event, simply because it’s logical, can manifest that occurrence in a dream. How many times have you been dreaming and were able to realize that it is a dream and that you are sleeping? This has happened to me many times and when it does happen, sometimes I’m able to direct the dream just as if I were the director of a movie or a play. One night I had a dream that I was entering a large crowded room while at the same time most everyone else was leaving. As all of the people were passing me, heading in the opposite direction, I realized that I was dreaming and had an urge to see how far I could get by attempting to put my hand up a girl’s dress, just for kicks. Before I could even touch her, I felt a hand grab my wrist to stop me. The dream ended at that point and I either woke up or drifted into another dream.

The interesting thing about this is that if I were to do the same thing while awake that I tried to while sleeping and dreaming, I would most likely be met with the same defense, which is logical, right? My inner most expectations would be that of resistance to my actions. And my expectations were fulfilled.

There are many people, probably a majority, who believe in dream interpretation. I am, however, one of those who do not. I believe that a dream is a life or an awareness of a co-existing reality on either another plane or in a parallel dimension. And when the eyes are closed and our awareness of our current life is shut off, consciousness goes off to explore these other worlds. I see things in these other worlds that feel natural to me and seem to be correct. But after waking up and remembering the dreams, many times what seemed comfortable and natural in my dream make no sense whatsoever in my waking state of consciousness.

I read an article today, which seemed to take my view, that we not only create or manifest our life here in the current waking physical reality that we see everyday, but also we create everything in it, based on what we expect to see. So then, how real is everyone around you? They are as real as you want them to be. Our ability to create everything goes far beyond what most people perceive as manifesting our lives.

So then how real is your reality? Your thoughts, your words, your desires, your actions, they all create something in this current physical awareness. While you may not be able to fully visualize a new environment, you still are expecting to see a variety normal things around you no matter where you go. Therefore, those things materialize based on your own expectations.

What if we were able to just be open to anything and not have any preconceived ideas about what the world should be like? I don’t have the answer to that question, but it intrigues me. However I do believe that when we are able to reach that level of awareness, the “anything is possible” phrase would truly come to life.

HOW DO I MANIFEST?

The process of getting what you want from life is fairly simple. It takes focus and determination and above all, you must decide that you aren’t going to give up, no matter what happens. As soon as you’ve made that decision, you have already taken a huge step towards receiving even more than you asked for because of the positive energy you created and the attitude you’re promoting.

 Please remember that any negative thoughts, feelings and actions that you have or that others around you have can easily destroy many of your positive efforts, forcing you to either have to start over, or just quit and give up altogether. You might not think that just being positive all the time can begin to change things for you in very positive ways and might even seem silly or stupid to try, but you’ll be amazed what happens if you can stick with this one goal.

 Now that you’ve decided to remain positive and not to give up no matter what, you’ve begun to lay the foundation for your endeavors. Everything you do in life that’s new to you must be accomplished by taking baby steps. Each step builds on the previous one, creating a strong base that will support the next one.

 You are like a computer in so many ways and in order for you to learn how to do something new, you must take steps just like how a computer is programmed. And also in this same way, each instruction can only be executed one at a time in sequence. The main difference between yourself and a computer is that the computer always goes back to this same set of instructions each time that it needs to perform the specific task, making it seem as if it learned how to do it without them. You, however, do actually learn through executing each step many times over and your magnificent brain eventually performs the task automatically without going through that list of instructions each and every time.

 Let’s recap what we have talked about so far. To manifest, you’ll need to focus and you’ll need to decide not give up. You’ll need to stay positive no matter what happens. You’ve learned that repetition is key to programming yourself to take basic steps automatically. So far you have the basic tools and guidelines to start the process.

 Now the procedure is simple as stated in the beginning. Ask, receive and accept, show gratitude. See, it’s easy just like I said it would be. Through my own experiences I’ve learned that I have to ask in some form to put the energy into motion. Asking can be interpreted in many ways. It could be just a simple thought of something you want to achieve or it could be a question to yourself such as, “how do I get…to come to me” or “please bring…to me” or “I’d like to have…in my life now.”

 The next step is what might seem to be the fun part where you start to receive what you asked for or some part of what you wanted. It’s already beginning to sound gloomy because you didn’t get everything yet. If you’ll notice, ‘accept’ was added to the ‘receive’ part. Acceptance is also part of the package of remaining in a positive state at all times. Being accepting of what’s given transmits feelings of contentment and joy, which by themselves attract more of the same.

 Gratitude expresses permission to keep receiving more things on the same level or frequency as those you are seeking. And actually when all 3 steps of this process are used together at the time of the request, your faith is created by the energy of the words of your thought since you can foresee having received in your mind and accepted what is given and been thankful for it. You have completed the transaction with your energy, which will in turn make it happen.

 However, don’t be surprised, shocked or dismayed when you don’t receive as quickly as you’d like to, especially the first times you use this to bring yourself the perfect life. Remember that to make it work it must be repeated many many times. Practice really does make perfect eventually when you are creating your life, but it’s going to take time, a lot of time and a lot of practice. You have to keep trying and you can’t ever give up.

 This is going to be the path to all your destinies for the rest of your life. I say that because once you learn how to manifest effectively, you’ll never want to go back to being a victim when you are the creator instead.

THE FIRST STEPS TO MANIFESTING

Since this blog’s purpose is to learn how to create what you want from life, I thought it would be a good idea to elaborate on it a bit. This may sound odd, but the hardest part of getting what you want from your life may well be just deciding what that is, because it will take a lot of focus and perseverance to make it become reality. I have found this to be my greatest challenge. After you decide what you want, you do the focus, you visualize the end result, you formulate the proper sentence structure to initiate the thought processes and so on.

A lot of consideration may go into your choices and that’s perfectly normal. You might make a choice that seems right at the time and then later decide that it isn’t. Manifesting becomes a process of changing your mind quite a bit because you must comfortably be able to incorporate these new thoughts and ideas into your daily life. They must become a natural part of your being and that can be difficult. You’ll decide on a path to take and then you’ll decide if it’s the right one or not. You have to embark on that path before you’ll know whether it actually is right or not.

It’s not only perfectly acceptable to change your mind quite a lot during the process, but it’s expected. I’ve often thought, once I’ve made up my mind to pursue a specific goal, that I have to see it through to the end just to find out if it’s right for me. And sometimes that’s true. We all get these wild ideas that at first seem to be a revelation of sorts, only to discover later that it was only a passing thought.

In the beginning, if you are new to manifesting your life, the first step a person might take is to find something you’re passionate about and make that your focus, no matter how impossible or difficult it might seem to get it accomplished. Everyone has a talent and sometimes it’s hidden from our view, just waiting to be sparked enough to make the light bulb burn and allow you to see it. Or it may be a dream you’ve always had that you may believe is completely out of reach. The most important part is to believe that anything is possible. Open up your mind to yourself and allow it to work for you.

Perhaps in the most basic sense, manifesting what you want could begin with having a dream and never letting go of it, no matter what. All of your thoughts create energy, so when you make a certain thought repeat day after day, week after week, month after month, and maybe even year after year, the only thing keeping you from becoming that dream is you and your beliefs. If you don’t believe that you can do it or have it, then you can’t. It’s very simple.

So if you don’t believe that you can do it or have it, how do you change that? The answer is easy. You change your beliefs. This in itself might become your next challenge but once you prove to yourself that you are capable of this, then the world is your playground. But wait a minute. If you don’t believe, how do you just change your beliefs?

Here’s a technique you can try. You would start by making simple statements in your mind to yourself. The first one you would want to make is to tell yourself that anything is possible. This is a statement that you hear a lot. People say it often, but in truth, how many really believe that literally ANYTHING is possible? Lots of times it is just said in casual conversation, but for you to incorporate it into your goals, it must be taken seriously. Say it to yourself often, several times a day everyday with conscious intent.

The second statement you could make to yourself is a choice to change your current belief if it’s a barrier that stands between you and your goals. Instead of saying, “I don’t really believe I can do that because it seems impossible” say “I can change my belief as easily as I can change my mind”, because that’s really all there is to it. And I can change my mind whenever I choose to.

If you can’t bring yourself to believe anything else from this article, here’s an important point that most people fail to realize. Your brain is a very sophisticated computer and because of that, it has to be reprogrammed at times. You can let your environment program it or you can take control and do it intentionally.

Programming your brain is exactly the same as programming a computer. It’s a process of making deliberate statements in a logical sequence. But because your brain is also a living organ, the statements must be repeated over and over one at a time. Each one must be carefully structured and executed individually, and must also be perfected before moving on to the next one. The programming will take hold if you are persistent. Dedication, focus, persistence and perseverance are all important ingredients to allow changes to be made in your self. Each statement of the programming cycle is a step to the next one, so it must be stated over and over until it becomes natural before moving on.

Practice manifesting by opening your mind to any and all possibilities. There is no limit to receiving any goal or dream you have if you are open to it. You will become more and more open to new possibilities the more you practice your focus and changing your mind to accept the things that you once thought were impossible to even conceive of.

Sometimes you’re taught that changing your mind often is a bad thing, but it’s only confusing to others when they are directly affected by your change of heart or mind. In most cases, when you change your mind to reflect the things you want from life, it only affects you, because these are personal individual choices you are making.

If you take in and practice the things I’ve talked about here and get comfortable with changing your mind a lot, you’ll change your beliefs more easily and you’ll come to realize that it’s a good thing because you’ll eventually learn to adapt to all change in life. Adapting leads to accepting and when you accept what is given and show gratitude to the universe for what you’ve received, you’ll receive more and more of those good things.
