B.A.L.A.N.C.E

Discipline #7

B.A.L.A.N.C.E: Being Able to Live A Naturally Centered Existence

~ “Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.” ~

—Brian Tracy

Have you ever been driving down the freeway and just as you reach a certain speed you begin to notice how your car starts to shake or vibrate? Generally this happens because there are heavy spots on the wheel-tire combination and to prevent this from happening, generally you will have to compensate for it by placing a measured lead weight on the opposite side of the wheel from where the heavy spot is. This would then “balance” the weight of the wheel making for a much smoother ride. This simple analogy holds true for all aspects of getting out of balance because of too much weight being distributed in a certain direction. You’ve probably heard it said that “life is a balancing act,” but there’s so much more to this phrase than you know. Given the fact that everything is energy, including you and I, the idea of over or under exertion can ultimately become detrimental to your spiritual wellbeing. When I speak in terms of everything being energy, I’m suggesting that all things from the smallest vibration of thought all the way up to the faster realms of sound and light are all merely different waves and forms of energy being expressed. It takes just the right balance of molecules and energetic expression for something to harmonize within itself. This state is called symbiosis. However, should an imbalance happen within the structure, malfunction occurs in which case this could translate into illness and/or dis-ease depending on the degree of imbalance. All ailments, diseases, emotional, physical and mental disorders are a direct result of the chemicals, thoughts, habits, and practices being thrown out of balance. Once the harmonious state of the body becomes disrupted, homeostasis is no longer achieved and the vehicle whether it’s motor or human then becomes adversely affected.

As an energetic being, it is very easy for you to get out-of-balance with your natural state of being which is one of peace and harmony. There are many contributing factors as to why you are so out of balance but the main point I would like to make here is that you must seek balance if you are to remain healthy not only physically but also spiritually. A good visual example of balance would be like watching the tightrope walker as they gingerly traverse the tight rope while holding on to their balance pole. These acrobats maintain their balance by positioning their “center” of mass directly over their base of support, i.e., shifting most of their weight over their legs, arms or whatever part of their body they are using to hold them up. In the heading of this chapter, I use the acronym for B.A.L.A.N.C.E. as; “Being Able to Live A Naturally Centered Existence,” because the true art of living a harmonious and balanced life is about being able to equally distribute the weight of your life back onto the center of your being which is source/God. Everything you experience in life is neither good nor bad but rather the experience of what feels right. When that feeling becomes overwhelming for you, you simply come back to your center. Too much of anything is not necessarily good for you and so life becomes a delicate balancing act of knowing your limitations and being able to recognize when you are out of sync.

A.W.A.R.E.N.E.S.S.

Discipline #6

A.W.A.R.E.N.E.S.S: A Waking And Responsive Effect Native to Every Sentient Soul

~ “The great awareness comes slowly, piece by piece. The path of spiritual growth is a path of lifelong learning. The experience of spiritual power is basically a joyful one.” ~

—M. Scott Peck

Every sentient, feeling being has an innate sensibility that allows them to know truth without question. This uncanny ability cannot be learned it is intrinsic, it cannot be taught it is essential. When you first come into this existence, your awareness is keen, but gradually after years of inculcation and indoctrination into certain disciplines and various ways of thinking and feeling, your natural senses eventually become blunted and desensitized. This is not to say that you don’t still possess this natural quality, it is merely to suggest that over the many years of conditioning, cultural biases, systematic beliefs, generational influence, dogmas, and societal norms, you tend to sacrifice what you know to be true in exchange for what you’re told is true. The greatest contradiction ever to be foisted upon man is to be told that what he knows to be true in his heart of hearts, in his soul and in his being, is actually not acceptable to society’s way of thinking. There has to be a sweeping shift in awareness prior to you rising above this unconscious state. Fortunately though, once one awakens, we all awaken.

Awareness is not simply about being awake or alert; it has more to do with an inner sense of knowing. What you hold to be true about your godly self, your divine make-up and the abilities you possess as a spiritual being are actually true. If everyone were truly aware of the inherent qualities they harnessed, there would be no need for organized thought systems hence the religious systems would be vanquished overnight. We wouldn’t need elected officials or laws or even people to enforce them because we would all respond to the same innate guidance system unique to us all. The highest vibration is love and as you tune into its frequencies, and become aware of its pervading influences, you too will become autonomous no longer needing to be told what is “good” or “acceptable” for you will know truth instinctively. When you are truly aware, nothing outside of yourself can dictate or influence your actions. It’s simply about knowing unequivocally that what you sense in your heart is in harmony with the mandates of spiritual law. When you become aware once again of the divine laws which permeates all of existence, a quickening will occur hastening you on to a fully awakened state of enlightenment.

Discipline #5

A.T.T.R.A.C.T.I.O.N: A Thought That Resonates As Communication To Invoke Our Needs

~ “Whatever is going on in your mind is what you are attracting…We are like magnets—like attracts like. We become and attract what we think…Everything in our lives we have attracted...accept that fact...it’s true.” ~

—The Secret

In dealing with attraction, you are actually engaging in the creative process by emitting thought energy which is a vibration which communicates with the Source of all creation, in order to invoke or bring about that which is needed in your life. Take a look around you; everything including your spiritual, physical, emotional and mental condition, the lifestyle you are living, the clothes you are wearing, your income, the money in your bank account (or the lack thereof), the car you are driving, the people you associate with, your relationships, the work you do and the overall condition of your existence, is a direct result of your attraction. In any given situation, you are forever attracting to you the direct results of how you think and feel about the world in which you live. There’s no getting around this.
The Law of Attraction (LOA), states that whatever you concentrate on, you create. The reason for this is, as a spiritual being, you are energetic in nature which means you are constantly communicating with the Creative aspect, the Universe, God, All-That-Is, by the very nature of your energetic prowess. The means for this communication is your Conscious Mind via your Sub-Conscious connection. First, your Conscious-Mind develops and idea or a thought which over time can ultimately filter its way into your Sub-Conscious Mind. The Sub-Conscious aspect of all human beings is your God-Consciousness and anything that resides there, through its creative principle, eventually becomes the reality you see depicted in your life. This is not to suggest that fleeting or temporal thoughts will always manifest in your life so you shouldn’t always worry about passing thoughts becoming reality. However, if over time you allow those thoughts to become constant and they somehow find their way into your Sub-Conscious programming, then eventually, they will become the foundation from which you create your life.
