Create Your Soul's Direction

You are already successful. You have done everything you needed to do put your Self exactly where you are this moment. “You cannot dream your Self into a character; you need to hammer and forge your Self one.” James A. Froude

Karma is in play all the time. Your account is seeking balance. Some people may take issue with these statements. You might point out that many events transpire that are beyond your control. You might contend that you were an innocent bystander in the game of life and were side-swiped by tragedy and disappointment through no fault of your own.

The events in your life are not an issue. Your choices, reactions and responses to the events are what create your experiences and delineate your path. The degree to which you fail to believe that your choices, reactions and responses create your experiences and delineate your path is the degree to which your life is out of your control.

Life transpires, with and in spite of your beliefs. Your choice to believe that you have little or no impact on the course of your life can lead you to be in a chaotic place. There are no guarantees everything you do will lead you to happiness and an easy life. That is not what life is all about.

At the primary levels, life is about survival on this planet. At higher levels life is about thriving and moving towards self-actualization. Whether you are in the survival mode, working hard to have shelter and food to eat, or you are in the lap of luxury, you can maintain your diligence in expressing your purpose. You are called to hold fast to your ethics and values. Your purpose and ethics needs to remain the same whether you are rich, poor, stranded on a deserted island, or are enjoying the luxury of a wealthy life style.

If the conditions of your life are not working for you, the most important question you need to ask is, “What do I need to achieve to create a different result?” There is no reason to blame anyone or anything else. Taking responsibility for your life, and taking proper action, is the quickest and easiest way to obtain your goals, and to experience heaven on earth and beyond.

Karma is the tally of the positive and negative thoughts, actions, reactions and state of mind. The conditions of your life, at any moment, reflect the resultant balance. Each soul gravitates to exactly what it needs for its evolution. It is entertaining to say that to a person and watch his/her reaction. Some people get upset and think that is not going to be a good thing. Others give a sigh of relief that their good deeds are going to be rewarded. Or that the worst is over and better experiences are to come. As the cliché intones - Not so fast.

How would you react? Would you like to have exactly what your soul needs to complete its evolution? Or are you hoping that Karma comes with a big helping of grace without needing to go through the muck and mire?

Justice may appear as heaven, delivering bounty for proper choices. Alternatively, it may feel like hell, bringing ever-greater challenges until the soul learns to resolve well-worn and misguided choices.

The bounty or challenges are created by each individual’s subconscious mind. The soul will choose spiritual growth and increased consciousness over temporal comforts and pleasure, and in some cases even physical life itself. The soul will work to achieve its goal, even if it kills the body (you) to do so. However, you do not need to go that far. Let’s look at the various choices you have in approaching your responses to life

Throughout existence, a soul has the option of following one of four directions. A soul follows an overall direction, while specific actions or philosophies also have directional orientation.

Each soul gets exactly what it deserves. It is entertaining to say that to a person and watch their reaction. Some people get upset and think that is not going to be a good thing. Others give a sigh of relief that their good deeds are going to be rewarded.

How would you react? Would you like to get exactly what you deserve? Or are you hoping that karma comes with a big helping of grace? Justice may appear as heaven, delivering bounty for proper choices. Alternatively, it may feel like hell, bringing ever-greater challenges until the soul learns to resolve old issues.

The bounty or challenges are created by the individual’s own subconscious mind. The soul will choose spiritual growth and increased consciousness over temporal comforts and pleasure, and in some cases even physical life itself. The soul will work to achieve its goal, even if it kills you!

But you don’t have to go that far. Let’s look at the various choices you have in approaching your responses to life.

Throughout existence, a soul has the option of following one of four directions. A soul follows an overall direction, while specific actions or philosophies also have directional orientation.

Moving toward life: The soul will find the proper pursuit of happiness. Thus, the soul engages in purposeful activities that contribute to its growth and promotes the development of its consciousness and existence. The soul faces the lessons directly and is satisfied to learn from it. The soul considers its choices and opts for those that support life. There is creativity and self-determination in this direction.

Moving away from life: When you move away from life you are avoiding lessons and experiences, sabotaging the fulfillment of goals and purpose, as well as deprivation, denial and emotional or physical suicide and any form of escapism. In this mode you are also giving control of your decisions and thoughts over to another person.

Moving toward death: In this direction the soul engages in activities involving harmful, self-sabotaging intentions and behavior. It may include illness of all kinds, illegal drugs, prescriptions, OTC and excessive use of alcohol, smoking, violence and criminal activity.

Moving away from death: These activities are based on fear and the avoidance of perceived disaster and punishment. It may include giving in to personal and political pressure, and making choices based on the lesser of two evils. This direction includes playing victim and those who spend time reacting to the circumstances that come onto the path.

As an exercise, consider all the activities you engage in during a day, week or month. These activities include hygiene, naps, sleep, quantity and quality of food intake, alcohol or drug consumption, exercise, sports, relationships, hobbies, TV, reading, work and etc.

Which of your life activities and relationships are moving toward or away from death? Which are moving toward or away from life?

If you answer honestly and take full responsibility for your Self and your life, what would you do differently? If you made changes, what would be different in your life?

The more clearly you see your Self and your actions, along with the consequences and impact on your Self and the world, the quicker you will achieve heaven on earth. The heaven which you create on earth is the heaven you take with you when you cross to the other side of the veil. ###
