Ho`oponopono

Ho'oponopono in Hawaiian means to make right. It is a way of clearing negative energy between you and people you are in relationships with, be them friends, partners or family.

"I love you, I'm sorry, Please Forgive me, Thank you."

I'm not going to get into Ho'oponopono or Huna because I am just a fledgling user of it. Look it up!

Here's something I got off of this website.

"I" Am The "I"
OWAU NO KA "I"

---

"I" come forth from the void into light,
Pua mai au mai ka po iloko o ka malamalama,

"I" am the breath that nurtures life,
Owau no ka ha, ka mauli ola,

"I" am that emptiness, that hollowness beyond all consciousness,
Owau no ka poho, ke ka'ele mawaho a'e o no ike apau.

The "I", the Id, the All.
Ka I, Ke Kino Iho, na Mea Apau.

"I" draw my bow of rainbows across the waters,
Ka a'e au i ku'u pi'o o na anuenue mawaho a'e o na kai a pau,

The continuum of minds with matters.
Ka ho'omaumau o na mana'o ame na mea a pau.

"I" am the incoming and outgoing of breath,
Owau no ka "Ho", a me ka "Ha"

The invisible, untouchable breeze,
He huna ka makani nahenahe,

The undefinable atom of creation.
Ka "Hua" huna o Kumulipo.

"I" am the "I".
Owau no ka "I".

The Hunt for Someone

Been a while since my last post. I have been doing a lot of growing in the way of my spirituality and things have been getting clearer for me.

It is funny what twists and turns happen in your life when you least expect them. It's like that person, you or me, who constantly try to find the person of their dreams. Their search is never over and they are always sifting through all of the people they meet or putting themselves out there with dating services and other things like that. I have known a few people who have done that and it is always at that moment when they completely give up, when they're so sick and tired of going through the same motions with nothing to show for it, that they find that special someone.

It happens with smaller stuff too, like when you can't remember some important bit of information you were going to tell a friend. As soon as you let go of trying to remember what it is, you remember what it is.

This is what the Law of Allowing is about. It is about letting go and allowing the Universe to work and provide for you what you want. Giving up can be looked at as 'giving it up to your higher self". Another way of looking it is through EWOP (everything works out perfectly). You take a problem and give it up to your higher self to deal with. Trusting in that part of you to take care of it swiftly and easily. Tell yourself that everything works out perfectly and then release the worry.

A friend of mine has told me that she goes through life expecting nothing and is always pleasantly surprised when things pop up for her. She has also told me that she believes that there is more than one soul mate for each person out there. I believe she's right on both counts.

Merry Christmas everyone!

The More You Know

Contrast

I was just emailed by Abraham-Hicks and the video clip that was in the email was a question about why dogs risk getting bugs in their eyes sticking their heads out of car windows. The answer was this:

"Because the contrast of the bugs in the eye is a small price to pay for the exhilaration of that ride. And it is exactly the way you felt when you made the decision to come into this physical existence, and it isexactly the way you felt when you knew there would be contrast, and you said the ride was going to be worth it."

Think about that one for a moment.

The Rate Of Change

We watched this video at a leadership conference this past weekend. It is amazing how much our world is expanding each day. As I watched, it dawned on me that humans as a species want to connect with the rest of the world. We are drawn to each other and into everyone else's lives with things like the internet and mobile phones. Every gadget that comes out these days has a way for the operator to communicate with other people!

Are we drawn to each other in this way because we want to be "one"? Is this our attempt at becoming "connected" with each other without having to delve into ourselves too deeply? The answer is there. Humans have gone far from their spiritual roots and have lost their 'self'. So many books and visionary people out there tell us that we are a part of something much bigger and that everyone is connected fundamentally at our cores with every other living thing in the universe. Can those of us who are not so aware feel the lack of oneness in the universe? Is that why we are striving to be a part of people's lives through technology?

Perhaps what we don't realize is that there are many different forms of communication. What we do as a part of our day-to-day lives is just a small portion of what we are truly capable of. A person conversing with another person has many different levels of communication. It is not just the words that they say to the other person, it is also their body language and their tone. Those three things are not all there in modern forms of communication. What sort of tone or body language do we get from a text message?

There is more to a conversation than just words, body language, and tone as well; there is energy. Every single conversation made throughout our days, every gesture or look transfers energy from one person to another and back again. We do it all the time and don't realize it. It is a fundamental thing that humans do with each other and with the rest of the world that we know.

Think about it. Ever have someone's mood rub off on you? Ever run into a friend who is deliriously happy about something? Did you find it infectious? What happens when you come across someone who is angry or upset? Ever feel drained or a bit off center? Some say emotions have vibrations, these vibrations are energy. A person who is down, or upset is probably in a state of low vibration or low energy. We give them attention and energy to try to make them feel better. A person who is happy oozes energy and passes it along to you. Try to take a notice how you feel next time.

But I digress...

It seems as though we have lost ourselves in this new technology stream. I believe, as a race, we feel something fundamental is missing and we're trying to regain what we feel we've lost. The only thing is that everything we need is right there waiting for us to be used, in ourselves.

Manifesting, again!

There was a time in my life a few years ago where I was tired of the same old relationship that was doomed to go nowhere from the beginning. I would always find the "good for now" kind of guys and we'd have fun for a while but I'd always know that he wasn't the right one for me. I had asked the Universe for "someone I could share a good portion of my life with." I thought this request was very specific, and I got a very specific person to share a good portion of my life with. See, I was scared to ask for what I really wanted; a soul mate. The universe provided me with someone whom I did share a good portion of my life with. I brought him home with me and showed him my old stomping grounds. I took him to the places I spent time with growing up and in high school. We hung out with my old friends that I hadn't seen for years and then just like that, he was out of my life. I did get to share a "good portion" of my life with him, it was just the wrong portion. The universe has done it to me before, with very specific results.

About a year ago, I was up to some manifesting again. I decided that I was about ready for a new relationship in my life. I knew the Universe is good at getting specific and I was going to ask for someone pretty specific. I made a list and put down all of the qualities in a man that I would like to have in an ideal mate. It was a pretty extensive list: humour, reciprocation of feelings, sexual and mental attraction, intellectual and spiritual equal, someone I would grow old with, I even wrote down great sex in the mix. I wanted my soul mate. I wasn't scared of asking for what i wanted this time.

This was the money shot for me, this was something that would change my life once and for all. I was ready to make the leap and let it happen when I was ready for it to happen. Because it was a very important manifestation, it kept popping up in my head. I had a hard time to let it go and trust in the Universe. I didn't fear asking for what I wanted, but I had some doubts actually receiving what I had asked for. What if i wasn't ready? What if it didn't work out? Thoughts kept popping up in my head and this kept on pushing this person away. I think I felt that I wasn't ready for receiving what I wanted. I wasn't quite at the right point in my life to welcome a partner into the mix of craziness that is my life.

A few months ago, I turned a corner. I stopped worrying about what the Universe would provide me and I let it go. I just had faith that I would receive what I had asked for when I was ready for it.

A few months ago, the brother of an old friend of mine contacted me on facebook. I had known him for over a decade and had helped him out when he was going through a rough patch a long while ago. We started talking and somewhere in the mix the fact that we had been attracted to each other years ago but weren't in the right place in our lives to do anything about it. It was weird because I had always had an inkling that he was attracted to me, but it was great to find out that it was mutual. An online relationship started then and the more we talked the more we discovered that we have a lot in common. A few weeks into it and I remembered the list that I had made and went through it; I ticked most of the things off except for the few that I couldn't tick off because I'd need to actually be in contact with him.

It was decided that I fly back home to see him on my break, which was only a couple weeks away. This is where I'm writing this post, the end of my two weeks with him. Everything I listed has been provided for me. I have everything I asked for. Not a day has gone by where I haven't been in awe with what I have received from the Universe. We are both extremely connected with each other, we can feel what the other is feeling without words. I can hold his hand and feel the love he has for me and he can feel mine for him. It is unbelievable.

What will happen next? Who knows? We have decided to do our best not to think too much on the situation and to just feel. Letting our spirits and hearts guide us through what is yet to come will be awesome. I am excited.

No such thing as a coincidence

I've stopped believing in coincidences. There is no such thing. When something happens to you out of the blue it's because it's supposed to happen. Why is this? Everything is interconnected, whether you choose to believe it or not. The opportunities we come across in life is the universe saying to you, " hey, what about this? This is the path that you wanted to go down, and I'm giving it to you now." Sure, these non-coincidences are out of the ordinary and sometimes don't really make sense at the time, but they shouldn't. They should stick out and make you stop and think about what has happened or what could happen. Don't discount them as a mere coincidence. As I said before, everything in this life happens for a reason. This holds true for the good stuff and the bad stuff as well. Remember: no rain, no rainbows.

The Journey Began with..

I have been reading The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield. I'm on chapter 3 of it now and I am liking the concepts that the book goes through. Though, I would love to see it as more of a manuscript than a novel about a guy on a spiritual journey. Still, it's a good book.

My spiritual journey began at home with long discussions with my Mom. During my first year or two in college she sent me a series of three emails about the Law of Attraction, the Law of Deliberate Creation, and the Law of Allowing. I have to say that they changed my life. They have also helped a few other people find their way as well. After that I started figuring out myself in terms of who I am and where/what I want to be "when I grow up". I think I have it mostly sorted. I didn't really start delving into my spirituality again until the end of 2007, which is about a decade after it all started.

I was going through a rough spot trying to figure out the reason for recent events in my life. I looked at it from all angles and even tried to meditate on it, but I was blocked. I went to the store for some gifts for my flatmate's birthday and randomly decided to take a look at the books on the rack. I came across The Secret. I laughed to myself and thought, "what's the big secret?" and opened up the book. There before me was the Law of Attraction in all of its glory and I immediately knew that I had to purchase it.

After delving into the secret I moved on to the teachings of Abraham and Esther-Hicks. I listened to the story of how Abraham presented themselves as a spiritual entity and was extremely moved. From that point I was pretty excited and have incorporated what I learned from The Secret and Abraham into my life today. I have successfully used what knowledge I gained during my final exams for the past couple of years with good results. I dropped 90% of the stress that I would usually have and learned to cruise along and do well in my exams. It was a breath of fresh air.

My next book was The Power of Now by Eckhart Tolle. All I can say that on a very deep level, I know that the words in that book ring true. As I read it, I found myself agreeing with virtually all of it.

My spirituality grows on a daily basis and I am excited about where I'm going with it. Of course I still have things that I have to work on in order to break throgh some boundaries that still remain but I am confident that I will overcome them when I am ready to. It's a good feeling.

My biggest problem was my ego which has been a strong occupier of my thoughts and I still have little battles with myself on a daily basis. The difference is that I am now aware of it and I can catch my ego trying to get me caught up in its web and I can stare it down and smile knowingly at it. That is usually enough to make it subside for the time being.

This is the physical history of my spiritual journey. The deeper discoveries will have to wait for a different time.

Random thoughts of consciousness

It's been a while since my last post. I think this is because I've had other things occupy my mind for a while. I've had other outlets for my thoughts about my spirituality pop up in my life, and I've learned more about my self: my conscious self, my ego and my super-conscious self. It's funny that these three things occupy the same space (my brain) and seem to be almost seamless at first glance. The thing is, the more read and learn about myself, the more I realize how separate each of those parts of Me are. More importantly, I am learning how to separate them and look at them separately.

There are too many things that I've learned to go through in this one post, and I think perhaps I may continue writing my thoughts down to share with whoever stumbles upon this blog.

What I wanted to write about tonight was a conversation I had with someone last night. This was someone I barely knew who opened up to me and shared with me her life-changing epiphany. It made me realize that we are both on the same path to discover our own spirituality. She made the same conclusion that I made when I was about her age. If you love yourself and truly believe that you are a good person then it shouldn't matter what other people think of you. It was one of the first "freedoms" that I discovered on this path of discovering myself. Once you realize that you are okay as you, you are set free of trying to conform to society's social norms.

I've been "free" like this for so long that it feels natural. Finding out that someone else has stepped on the same stone and figured out the same thing is a wonderful feeling. I have found many other people heading in the same direction of self-discovery.

The world is truly about to go through a spiritual revolution. It's a super-conscious awakening that is a huge global phenomenon and it's going to hit those who are unprepared like a ton of bricks.

There are those who will be left fighting against the current, fighting against the very essence of life; and there are those who will be gleefully gliding with the current and letting it sweep them away into ecstasy.

Once awakened and aware, it is so easy to pick those people out who are still fighting with themselves and with the natural flow of this life stream. They are like rocks jutting out of the water where the life stream flows down and butts up against them and diverges around them creating a small spot of turbulence that is easy to pick out once you know what to look for.

Some of them are avidly fighting against the current, some are standing and facing upstream, but others have their heads turned and are contemplating letting the river take them. All you have to do is let go.
