Sometimes it is as simple as asking: "What meaning shall I give to this?"
This of course implies that there is someone/something to ask such a question to. All of our work now is on accessing / awakening the real you, the 'more-than-human' aspect of self that is just waiting to be invited to share the ride...
So - when you are tempted to take that 'bad turn to the left' remember the following:
1) Refuse fear’s story of you (“See what you’ve done!”) – it comes to steal your identity. You are ‘cause’ and can never be defined by the effects of story unfolding.

2) Call upon Self rather than believing the surrounding circumstances can define your truth by causing you to be, to feel, to behave, etc. accordingly, when in fact these ‘special effects’ are only following subtle cues.

3) Stand apart from the circumstances - as they seem to appear - by realizing the surrounding effects can never define your truth; they can only show you what you believed (had been thinking…).

4) Call upon the ‘causal-aspect-of-self’ (mind) and choose not the circumstances as your defining truth.

If it's true that it doesn't have to be this way, then what must we do differently?
Well, how about starting with accepting that what's appearing now is only trying to show us what we've been focusing upon and therefore allowing! This morning I overheard 'them' saying... "They don't realize that it doesn't have to be like this"... and I knew they were correct. So I began wondering what it is we're not requesting and why we might be hesitant to ask for what we want.

note: I originally posted this as a podcast but the audio went missing... sorry for the confusion for those who tried to listen... to... nothing! (Hope that's not a commentary on my content!!)

This morning EnderDogHimself arrived to greet and comfort me. "Hello, Old Friend" I heard in surround sound. "Sure is nice to see you once again."

By now I know enough to understand that more release is coming for me.

Today I will get the opportunity to release an old point of interest that still captures my attention and draws upon my awareness. My friend will stay by my side as I choose to let go of the attraction and reclaim a piece of my Self.

Will this be the missing piece, the one that tips the balance in favor for my real, true, original relationship which holds my missing peace (of mind) and allows me to remember just who I am in truth?

We'll see... it's only a matter of time now...

"What's afraid, and exactly of what is it afraid?" may seem to be a goofy string of words, but look again. The one you are in truth knows not of fear. The one you are in this world knows all about fear. There it is! Do you want to continue to disarm the fears that appear in your world by assigning causal blame and fighting for what is right, or do you want to see the origin of all fear in your world and do what you intended to do when you submerged your Self into your 'human-suit' as if all that you are in truth could fit in such an alien vessel?
The world 'out there' is working overtime to distract YOU from Remembering...
But I know who you are. And I say to you - reclaim that which is rightfully yours!

Changes are so often thought of as occurring in the past or future, but what about it existing in the now? Right now you are present to witness your own process of completion...

It’s time to lock on to the real question. Are you more than human or not? Has your ‘human’ convinced you that what you see, and more importantly, what others see, is who you are, or even yet, all you are? Are you still believing that you, the physical, human vessel, are made in the image of your creator or are you still wrestling with the evolutionary story that continues to unfold? Are you content to stay in the life you have been in and let it determine your story, or could there be yet another story to tell?

It is the responsibility of every creation myth to establish the beginning. It must allude to The Beginning as well as place us, humanity, firmly in our roots. Should some information come along that changes the meaning of the established origins of our introduction into the story, that information and its implied interpretation risks an inquisition few can withstand. Well, it’s time for a revision, a revealing of sorts, an un-veiling of what was always there just waiting to be seen.

An example: Imagine a database of information that appears upon the scene so you can use it to locate places on a map. Clicking on this Map re-Questing information and directions you become use to it and begin to rely upon it as the way to get from here to there. Over time a new, improved database comes along but you don’t use it – as long as the one you are using – continues to work for you. But the new construction site where you live is not to be found in the older version and trying to get directions becomes fraught with angst. Eventually you only go to the new, improved database as you giggle (or google) at its effectiveness. The revised meets the needs.

When you arrived here you were told a story that others before you were told about the beginning. You were tested to be sure that you understood the implied and explicit meaning and all the consequences that might follow such a story and its meaning. Eventually, without notice, it became truth, operating on its own as a filter to incoming information and blocking access to competing sources of meaning. And so there we have it – it’s the meaning we give that holds the key. In fact it is that very meaning we seek out to find day in and day out. And find it we do!

So, just as the library has assistance in locating material from its collective shelves, or the University has an army of research assistants to seek out its needed information, so too you have an inner network on line 24/7 whose sole function it is to find what it is you are looking for. Are you willing to examine your inner information-gathering systems? And even if you’re willing, are you able to? Will it let you call it into question? Because the meaning of your life is an interpretation and the interpreter is more powerful than you might imagine. Has your inner interpreter become more powerful than you? Does the research assistant author the story? Are you allowing the Inner Interpreter to determine your story? (Did I just hear: “Aye, Aye Captain?)

YOU determine what is true for you. You agree to accept as gospel the meaning of any situation presented right before your eyes, and it is that meaning that you are re-producing every moment in your life. Control the meaning and you control the moment. Just ask the media moguls what they think. Nah, don’t bother, just remember – you can choose what it shall mean. That’s right - shall - future tense baby! If you do not call into question your own inner interpretive mechanism that keeps the story consistent with the already chosen meaning then no change can ever occur. But right now, today, you have access to another meaning, another interpreter just waiting to be heard. You may need to suspend judgment momentarily and give your self permission to be surprised, but give it a try.

It may well turn out that You are not who you thought you were! Ahhh, pronouns, such a tool for such a fool as I!  

Not all advisors are the same so choose with caution. It will always come back to whether or not there's a place to get (back) to. The greatest show on earth wants you to stay put, your I/O wants your attention...
