Neurological Level Of Identity & The WISE ONEs

Once there was a ball call “O” that is on a journey of self-discovery. And in that journey, he bumped into a pair of twins call “H”. With their new form friendship developed, they unified & created a new form. Thru the evolution of time, beings are born. As we all know that human’s body contains about 70% make up of H20 (ie water) With his task completed, “O” continue his journey alone, breathing life into all beings.

Thus I am the “AIR” that you breath.

Last week I was attending Master NLP Practitioner class and the topic of Neurological Level of Identity was one of the key topics of the day. Robert Dilts’ Neurological Levels model helps individuals and teams align their environment, behaviours, competencies, beliefs/values, identity and purpose, challenging them also to consider a higher purpose – whether work-based, family, social or spiritual in which they make a contribution outside the day to day demands of life. We were told to do an exercise with the following question in two groups. Below are my choice of representation and my personal findings.

What Metaphor Express?
I am “AIR” that you breath ~ The Air is a metaphorical symbolize of one state of consciousness that reside in the presence.

What Representation?
The Wise One~ Hermit is a chosen representation. An attached image gives a reference on the wise one. A sage carrying a rod with a hanging lamp symbolize his thus to light the way. He is also well train in many areas, which includes weather control, miraculous healing & manifestation.

I first got this deck of tarot cards in the late 90’s & I have continue to be fascinated by the Wise one (generally called ~ the Hermit). The continuous intrigue in metaphysical works continues till this day. As I mention a lot of time, there is no coincidence in this world. The representation that I have chosen further amazes me as I read the book by Doreen Virtue ~ Earth Angels.

Doreen: “For many years, I assumed that these four categories were the only realms from which Earth Angels originated: Incarnated Angels, Elementals, Starpersons and Walk-Ins.” “But there were always some students who couldn’t relate to any of the categories. What about us humans? They would ask.” “My son Grant finally supplied the answers, at the end of his talk he turned to the audience and said: ‘I know what the fifth category of lightworkers is . . . I know because I came from this category. It’s those of us who are Reincarnated Wizards, High Priestesses, Witches, Sorcerers and Sorceresses.’ Since than I have studied and interviewed many from this group, whom I now called the “WISE ONEs”

Its amazing how the universe works, I have all the time being told that I am one, yet I do not embrace the belief. Till now!!! For those who have seen me in Friendster & Facebook, its one of the images I have selected to represent me. I have seen my past lives as priest, shaman, sage, oracle, bone reader and many more. These are only parts of what I have acquired through my many lives.

Doreen: “They are extremely powerful and well-trained magicians of the human race who were called out of “retirement” from the spirit world in order to come back to Earth for the currently urgent situation on our planet.” Louise Hay says in (Heal Your Body) that the metaphysical meaning behind heart problems is ‘Long-standing emotional problems.’ “The Wise Ones have carried emotional pain for eons from their earthly lives ~ talk about long-standing! Since the Wise Ones’ purpose is to teach and be way-showers, perhaps this frustration with their mission is their greatest heartbreak.”

Having seen & know what is my mission on earth I have further re-aligned my values & my commitment.

Mission statement
To be a beacon of light, as universe spread his wings to embraced the needed of the world.
A light worker, a metaphysician bringing many assistance and helping mankind evolve.

What project is an Example of?
I continue to have keen interest in writing & have being embarking on the journey of book authoring for years. Not forgetting my recent decision to take a full certification in Hypnotherapy with a choice to major in “Past Life regression” Thus I am engaging in Past Life Regression to clear away leftover emotions that could be holding me back. And also firmly believe that my mission is to assist in human’s growth with my training.
With all that in line, look out for more articles from me to come as I share more of my personal findings & learning.

Art of Sleeping

All the parts of the human body work together, although each  one has its especial part to do. The stomach must have a  time to rest between meals. The other parts of the body require rest, too. This they usually get while we are asleep. We must not be neglectful and fail to give them enough rest, or they will soon get worn out and give us trouble.

Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise.

Benjamin Franklin (1706 – 1790)

Sometimes, when people are not well or are all tired out, they find they cannot sleep well at night. There are a number of little things that can be done to induce sleep. A warm bath before retiring, followed by a gentle massage, especially along the spine, often will, by relaxing the nerves and muscles, produce very good results. A hot foot bath, which draws the blood away from the brain, frequently will be found beneficial. A glass of hot milk or cocoa, taken just before retiring, often will have the same effect. If the sleeplessness is a result of indigestion, a plain diet will relieve.

If you can’t sleep, then get up and do something instead of lying there and worrying. It’s the worry that gets you, not the loss of sleep.~ Dale Carnegie

Sleeping upon a hard bed without any pillow sometimes produces the desired effect. Always have plenty of fresh air in the room. Keep the mind free from the cares of the day. If they will intrude, crowd them out by repeating something else some soothing sentence or bit of poetry. One good plan is to close the left nostril by pressing on it with the finger, then take four deep breaths through the right nostril. Then close the right nostril and take four deep breaths through the left one. Repeat this about four times. Then breathe slowly through both nostrils, but count your breaths. You seldom will count very many. Never take any sleeping powders or tablets except upon the advice of a physician, for they usually contain drugs that will injure the heart.

In my previous article on “What is Self-hypnosis.”  All that is require is to simply set your goal “Sleep well & soundly”, the rest will come to past.

Sleep aside, a simple quote to bring smile in your heart

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone. ~Anthony Burgess (1917 – 1993)

Rest well and sweet dreams to all.

The Four Wives

“In one of the Agama Sutras, the Buddha’s early sermons, there is a very interesting story:

Once there was a man who had four wives. According to the social system and circumstances of ancient India, it was possible for a man to have several wives. Also, during the Heian period in Japan, about a thousand years ago, it was not unusual for a woman to have several husbands. The Indian had become ill and was about to die. At the end of his life, he felt very lonely and so asked the first wife to accompany him to the other world.

‘My dear wife,’ he said, ‘I loved you day and night, I took care of you throughout my whole life. Now I am about to die, will you please go with me wherever I go after my death?’

He expected her to answer yes. But she answered, ‘My dear husband, I know you always loved me. And you are going to die. Now it is time to separate from you. Goodbye, my dear.’

He called his second wife to his sickbed and begged her to follow him in death. He said, ‘My dear second wife, you know how I loved you. Sometimes I was afraid you might leave me, but I held on to you strongly. My dear, please come with me.’

The second wife expressed herself rather coldly. ‘Dear husband, your first wife refused to accompany you after your death. How can I follow you? You loved me only for your own selfish sake.’

Lying in his deathbed, he called his third wife, and asked her to follow him. The third wife replied, with tears in her eyes, ‘My dear, I pity you and I feel sad for myself. Therefore I shall accompany you to the graveyard. This is my last duty to you.’ The third wife thus also refused to follow him to death.

Three wives had refused to follow him after his death. Now he recalled that there was another wife, his fourth wife, for whom he didn’t care very much. He had treated her like a slave and had always showed much displeasure with her. He now thought that if he asked her to follow him to death, she certainly would say no.

But his loneliness and fear were so severe that he made the effort to ask her to accompany him to the other world. The fourth wife gladly accepted her husband’s request.

‘My dear husband,’ she said, ‘I will go with you. Whatever happens, I am determined to be with you forever. I cannot be separated from you.”

This is the story of ‘A Man and His Four Wives.’

Gautama Buddha concluded the story as follows:
‘Every man and woman has four wives or husbands. What do these wives signify?’

THE FIRST WIFE (Fame)

The first ‘wife’ is our body. We love our body day and night. In the morning, we wash our face, put on clothing and shoes. We give food to our body. We take care of our body like the first wife in this story. But unfortunately, at the end of our life, the body, the first ‘wife’ cannot follow us to the next world. As it is stated in a commentary, ‘When the last breath leaves our body, the healthy color of the face is transformed, and we lose the appearance of radiant life. Our loved ones may gather around and lament, but to no avail. When such an event occurs, the body is sent into an open field and cremated, leaving only the white ashes.’ This is the destination of our body.

THE SECOND WIFE  (Wealth)

What is the meaning of the second wife? The second ‘wife’ stands for our fortune, our material things, money, property, fame, position, and job that we worked hard to attain. We are attached to these material possessions. We are afraid to lose these material things and wish to possess much more. There is no limit. At the end of our life these things cannot follow us to death. Whatever fortune we have piled up, we must leave it. We came into this world with empty hands. During our life in this world, we have the illusion that we obtained a fortune. At death, our hands are empty. We can’t hold our fortune after our death, just as the second wife told her husband: ‘You hold me with your ego-centered selfishness. Now it is time to say goodbye.’

THE THIRD WIFE (Family)

What is meant by the third wife? Everyone has a third ‘wife’. This is the relationship of our parents, sister and brother, all relatives, friends, and society. They will go as far as the graveyard, with tears in their eyes. They are sympathetic and saddened…

Thus, we cannot depend on our physical body, our fortune, and our society. We are born alone and we die alone. No one will accompany us after our death.

THE FOURTH WIFE (Karma)

Sakyamuni Buddha mentioned the fourth wife, who would accompany her husband after his death. What does that mean? The fourth ‘wife’ is our mind [or Alaya consciousness]. When we deeply observe and recognize that our minds are filled with anger, greed, and dissatisfaction, we are having a good look at our lives. The anger, greed, and dissatisfaction are karma, the law of causation. We cannot be separated from our own karma. As the fourth wife told her dying husband, ‘I will follow you wherever you go.’”

The Saint And the Scorpion

One day a saint was taking a bath in a river. His disciple sat on the bank with the saint’s clothes, asana and rosary. The saint noticed a scorpion struggling in the current. Taking pity, he lifted the bedraggled scorpion in his palm and started wading toward the bank.

No sooner had the scorpion recovered than it promptly stung the saint on the palm. The saint felt an unbearable, burning pain shoot up his arm, but he did

not drop the scorpion. Instead, he gently shook his hand to encourage the

scorpion to move away from the wound.

The saint’s disciple, watching from the bank, became alarmed, but did not say anything.

The saint had only taken a few more steps when the scorpion stung him again. A searing pain more intense than the first one went all the way up his arm and throbbed in his hand. The saint staggered and nearly collapsed in the river.

This time the disciple did call out. “Put him down, guruji! He will only sting

you again. Leave him to his fate. Your kindness is of no value to such a creature. He will learn nothing from it!”

The saint ignored him and continued walking. He had nearly reached the bank when the scorpion stung him for a third time. The pain exploded into his

head, lungs, and his heart. The disciple saw a blissful smile appear on the saint’s face before he collapsed in to the river. The disciple dragged the saint to the shore, still smiling and still cradling the scorpion in his palm. As soon as they had reached shore, the scorpion crawled away as quickly as it could.

“Guruji!” said the disciple after the saint had regained consciousness. “How can you smile? That wretched creature nearly killed you.”

“You are right, my son,” said the saint. “But he was only following his dharma, his nature. It is the dharma of a scorpion to sting, and it is the dharma of a saint to save its’ life. He is following his dharma and I am following mine. Everything is in its proper place. That is why I am so happy.”

Two Wolves within

Its being sometimes since the last i wrote, so I will start with a simple metaphor to kick start 2010

Nathanael

Here is the old native american teachings, called “Grandfather Tells” which is also known as “The Wolves Within”

An old Grandfather said to his grandson, who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice, “Let me tell you a story.

I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do.

But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times.” He continued, “It is as if there are two wolves inside me. One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him, and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way.

But the other wolf, ah! He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger,for his anger will change nothing.

Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit.”

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather’s eyes and asked, “Which one wins, Grandfather?” The Grandfather smiled and quietly said, “The one I feed.”

“My dear brothers, take note of this: Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry,  for man’s anger does not bring about the righteous life that God desires.” James 1:19,20  (BIBLE)

“Peace comes from within. Do not seek it without. Holding on to anger is like grasping a hot coal with the intent of throwing it at someone else; you are the one who gets burned.”

Buddha

WHAT IS SELF-HYPNOSIS?

It has being months since I last wrote, I have started with this article on self-hypnosis which should help in each individual’s evolution.

Self-hypnosis is when you bring or guide yourself into state of hypnosis. Self-hypnosis  is useful for managing stress, boosting confidence, improving performance and guiding  yourself towards a healthier lifestyle. Serious problems are best dealt with in collaboration with a professional clinical hypnotherapist.

Self-hypnosis can benefit an individual in many ways, including:

* Enhancing self-worth
* Helping in a good night’s sleep
* Relieving stress
* Giving clarity of mind
* Initiating positive thinking
* Accessing the cosmic consciousness
* Providing a calm and peaceful state
* Encouraging emotional and physical healing
* Touching on anger management, etc

The following are the summary of the steps in Self hypnosis;
1. Be sure of your goal.
2. Choose a quiet and comfortable place to sit or lie down.
3. Close your eyes and take a few deep breaths. Relax yourself.
4. Countdown from ten to one and be more relaxed and comfortable with each number.
5. Give yourself suggestions.
6. Wake yourself by counting from one to ten.

YOUR GOAL
Before starting on your journey in self-hypnosis, you will need to be clear of what you want and what you will be doing while in hypnosis. This is to make the session more productive and effective. If you are not sure about what you want, it would be difficult to guide yourself while you are in hypnosis.

Think about what you want to achieve or change and state your goal in a single sentence. Making your goal concise and to the point makes it easier for you to repeat & remember it.  Always keep your goals positive and in the present tense as though you have already achieved it.

For example;
● “I am calm and confident when I give a presentation”
● “I drift easily to sleep when I lie down at night”
● “I remember all I have studied and can recall the information at will”.

Do not use negative sentences such as : “ I am not going to panic when I stand in front of the audiences”. Instead say “ I am calm and confident when I stand in front of the audiences” Personalise your goals and sentences. Makes it relevant to you and in your own words. It is best to focus on a single goal for higher effectiveness.

CHOOSE A PLACE
Choose a place where you would not be disturbed for about 10 to 25 minutes. You may do your self-hypnosis for as long as you want, however it is always more effective to work on a single issue at a time.  Find a comfortable chair to sit on or simply lie down on a bed or a couch. As long as you are  comfortable, that will do. Some people prefer to sit on a chair because lying on the bed may  be too laxing & they soon find themselves dozing off.
CLOSE YOUR EYES
It is always easier to go into trance when you close your eyes. Than take a few deep and slow breaths. Notice your breathing for some moments. There are other techniques you may choose to bring yourself into trance. Besides using the
techniques mentioned above, you may also want to mentally tell yourself to “relax” or “ I am feeling sleepy and tired”. Be clear, focused and concise
DEEPEN THE TRANCE
After you have achieved a light trance state, it is time to deepen the trance. One of the easiest method would be to use the Countdown from ten to one technique.
Simply tell yourself that you are going to countdown from ten to one, and with each number you will become more and more relaxed. When you reached the number one, you will be deep down relaxed. Should you get distracted with random thoughts, simply revert your attention to your breathing and notice yourself breathing in and out comfortably.
GIVE YOURSELF SUGGESTIONS
Now it is time to give yourself suggestions. Use the goal statement you prepared earlier. Say the statement out a couple of times over & over again. Besides just saying the statement in your mind, you should imagine hearing it, seeing it and
actually experiencing it as though it is already happening. Use as many senses as possibles and make it as real as possible. Be clear, focused and concise.
WAKE YOURSELF
Waking yourself up from hypnosis is easy. Although you may not feel it is necessary, but it is always a good idea to wake yourself up from hypnosis. This helps your return to a fully alert state. Simply count up from one to ten and tell yourself that with each ascending number you will be more & more awake and that you will be fully wide awake by the count of ten.

REMINDER
It is important to know the limitations of self-hypnosis. Always consult a clinical
hypnotherapist if you are dealing with serious issues. This is because your problems may be roots outside of your conscious awareness and a clinical hypnotherapist has the expertise to handle it.

The Sun and Your Ascendant by Deidre Wilton

Extracted from article in Cosmic Lighthouse.

For most of us when someone mentions Astrology to you, your first thought is perhaps the daily horoscopes you read in the paper and the knowledge you have of your own birth sign. What people are not so much aware of is that your Astrology is the blue print of your life, it is the hand book you lost on the way down!

How this Astrology works is through the interpretation of your Natal Chart. Your Natal Chart is a map of the heavens at the time of your birth, therefore no two Charts will be alike as this information is based on the TIME, DATE and PLACE of your birth, and as the planets move in relationship to each other every 4 minutes, it is extremely rare for any two Charts to be the same.

For anyone, and especially those on the spiritual path, your Natal Chart is an imperative guide and wealth of information to help you along your journey. I believe that when you truly know and accept yourself for the person that you are, then there is nothing you cannot achieve in your lifetime. Your Natal Chart gives you the insight into what makes you tick and react the way that you do to certain situations and people, and through this insight you can learn to let go of the Self and the ego attachment we have to our emotions. Your Natal Chart can also identify periods in your life when you are concentrating on particular lessons, and you can see how at these times there is always plenty of positive energy to use to learn from, just as there is negative energy there to refuse to learn from.

Through a series of articles I am going to introduce you to the different planets and the energies that surround them and how they affect you and your growth on the earth plane.
