Many people have been using regression therapy to learn and gain understanding of how past lives are affecting their current lives. This therapy has produced incredibly positive results in changing lives where no other therapy had been able to resolve their issues.
Consider the possibilities of discovering answers to ancient human mysteries if the information obtained through regression therapies were studied and researched from a broader knowledge seeking base.
From these regression therapies, certain information regarding cultures, societies, religion, lifestyle, geography, etc. are revealed along with the person’s personal story. Suppose this information was accumulated, cataloged, and pieced together so that it would begin to frame answers to hidden human history.
The possibilities of discovery could result in answers on a global scale regarding human activity, life, and societies on our Earth. We could learn the secrets of ancient forgotten technology, how the pyramids were built, the truth about the flood, the sources of our unique races and languages, etc.
To consider the possibilities of using this regression therapy to seriously study human history is exciting, and certainly a matter to be scoffed and ridiculed by the skeptics. But had skepticism instead of open inquiring minds prevailed we would still think the world is flat.
Most people do not realize our dramatic and incredibly complex technological, scientific, and medical advancements have been created as a result of inspired thoughts generated from a paranormal type of experience. In short, these creative ideas have originated from the “One Mind” that exists somewhere that no one has been able to locate.
The most creative thoughts of our minds usually come without effort, when one is totally engaged in another unrelated activity, in a sleeping dream state, or otherwise relaxed condition. Questioning of this phenomena and the relationships of our minds and our brains has become a serious topic of research and study.
Our brain, which had previously been given the credit as the originator of thoughts somehow instigated by our minds, has now been identified by many researchers as the receptor or receiver of the information rather than the originating party of the creative thought energy.
It is interesting to consider the possibilities that could exist if a majority of the peace loving people across the world, or even a quarter of the people, were to somehow come to this awareness and subsequently learn how to tap into this “One Mind” to birth powerful solutions that could easily overcome all our diversities, challenges, and truly create a new peaceful world.
Considering the sheer numbers of people that exist on the planet, the thought of such an enormous shift of consciousness is startling and very exciting. Perhaps it will happen.
I think we all know someone today who is struggling and having a tough time. Sometimes the most important thing to help inspire or motivate someone to consider possibilities for renewal is a little encouragement or vote of confidence from someone else.
That inspirational person could be you. We have all experienced disappointments, losses and fearfulness due to challenging life events or circumstances. Sometimes life events push us a little too far, so that we temporarily lose sight of our mission or goals and all the things we have to be grateful for. Times are challenging, and it is not difficult to find someone in need of encouragement and support. Some people find it easier to see and consider possibilities so that they meet and rise above challenges easier than others.
Everyone makes mistakes, bad judgments and just plain goofs up from time to time. Some people can roll with the punches with great strength and resolution of purpose so that defeat is an impossibility for them. Other people become easily discouraged and defeated.
“Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.”
by Confucius
Most of us fall somewhere in between. Our human spirit emerges time after time to lift us up so that we can meet most of the ups and downs with a healthy mindset. However, many of us have known moments of despair that have tried to pull us downward. And something or someone stepped in with just the right words of comfort, reassurance or hope so that we picked up our feet and moved forward once again. Perhaps this is the time that such a word or gesture from you is just the ticket to lift someone else from despair. You can let them know that you care, that their life is important, their work is important and that they can find peace, hope and solutions.
Maybe just giving a little of your time, some words of encouragement to consider possibilities, an introduction or referral that can provide assistance, a book or an article or a poem with inspirational quotes, an offer of transportation, a phone call, a beautiful flower or some other fitting gesture could be just the perfect thing to provide that little bit of hope to lift someone up.
Our lives are a complex mixture of life relationships. Relationships come in many forms throughout our lives. We most often think of life relationships as the interactions we have with our family, our friends, our work, and other people within our community with whom we correspond, conduct business or engage with in other activities, etc.
However, our relationship realm expands way beyond the people we interact with and communicate with on a regular basis. Our relationships include every person, place, or thing with whom our paths cross. This includes everything and everyone. The dictionary states within the definition of relation as: “connection or manner or being connected or related, as in thought, meaning, etc.” Within the definition of relationship, the dictionary states, “the quality or state of being related; connection.”
So life relationships are connections with others. Everyday our lives are a constant series of engagements and connections with other persons and things. Some examples of connections with people that may not be thought of as relationships are phone conversations regarding business, personal, or social inquiries, eye contact with a fellow bus commuter, other drivers and/or pedestrians we encounter while driving our cars, email interactions, etc. Life relationships with other than people are those we have with our pets, the pets we see at the homes of our family and friends, the wildlife we encounter within our yard and community, our uses and experiences with all plant life, water, and other natural resources.
According to the dictionary, relationships include even our connections through our thoughts. We generally think of our thoughts as being private and having no consequence unless they are followed by some deed or action. Life experiences, however, show us that our thoughts do have affects on our relationships of all kinds. Our thoughts are the lead-in to what we do and how we act and/or interact. Actions or deeds manifest only after thoughts have first appeared within our minds.
So thoughts are not just an unimportant chattering that continually goes on in our heads. Thoughts are worthy of important consideration and examination that direct our lives in every single aspect. We have thoughts, though often very brief, about nearly everything we encounter throughout our daily lives; therefore, we have relationships with all of these people, places and things.
Consider the possibilities of more positive and healthier interactions and connections with all of these relationships through compassion and solution thinking instead of criticism, judgments, and indifference.
Consider the possibilities of open minds that are sourced from love and peace eagerly exchanging ideas and inspirations with one another. Imagine the buzz of energy and excitement in such an atmosphere of pure creativity.
In this atmosphere, fears and doubts are quieted as a new sense of hope and evolutionary thoughts to consider possibilities emerges in the hearts and minds of the participants. The stubborn ego human mindedness of a need to be right are dissolved by an acute awareness that each person is connected to the “One Mind”. No one is superior to another. Each are equal and wholly respective of each other regardless of such physical characteristics as age, gender, ethnicity, religion or culture.
Consider the possibilities as all feelings and experiences are allowed to be aired and looked at in the light of nonjudgment so that healing can take place to resolve thoughts, intentions and deeds that have reflected and influenced human behaviors that have resulted in hatred, chaos, prejudices, wars, crime, jealousies, and indifferent attitudes.
Consider the possibilities that Obama’s energy of proposing and setting an example of openness in communication and problem solving could be a catalyst for a new age of solution thinking in our minds that will finally shed the cloak of indifference, fear, greed, selfishness and false perceptions among people everywhere that will be a strong proponent in leading humans to consider possibilities of enrichment for our planet renewal and peaceful solutions for everyone?
It is time that our leaders in government, business, research and development, and science who have become so ensconced in their own limited piece of history, real estate, and contributions evaluate their own consciousness and follow this example and open their minds and hearts to consider possibilities of human advancement that truly leads to and promotes healing benefits that will stretch to the ends of the earth and impact all people everywhere.
And all people everywhere, are invited and encouraged to use our minds positively and productively to help usher in new possibilities.
The world, society, civilization and all of us work best when we work together and help each other with a service mindset. There are those people–we all know at least one person who always seems to have the time to help someone else out. Often these people appear to have more energy than the average person. But maybe they really don’t have more energy than everyone else; maybe they just have a service mindset, and the energy to help out just comes from their motivation and mindset.
My father was one of those people whom everyone called upon when they needed help of some kind. He was an absolute genius when it came to fixing anything, and everyone knew it. He used his talents well, he worked extremely hard, and never hesitated a moment when he was called upon to lend a hand. He seldom was paid for his neighborly labors of love and kindness; it was an understanding and an unwritten code of conduct by which he lived to help out when needed. He received back much goodwill and gratefulness from those he helped as well as some occasional monetary rewards and some bartered trade in kind, but that was never his primary concern for serving. He was never famous, certainly not rich, and he lived and died in an ordinary way, and he was a man of honor and integrity, and I’m sure people remember him with gratitude.
Though he was not a religious man, and since spirituality was never really discussed with him, I really don’t know his personal thoughts, ideas, or his take on spirituality. I do remember a time, when I as a teenager, of around the age of 16 and was feeling that I knew it all, and tried to convince my father to go to church and to begin to follow a religious protocol of some sort.
I look back on that time period now from a position of considerably more wisdom and awe at my boldness and naitivety in thinking I could teach my father about life, religion and saving his soul.
I had so much to learn and still do, and really didn’t have a clue at that time. Even though my father was not a religious man, or even thought of spiritual concepts, at least that I am aware of, and yet, I am certain that his crossing to the other side more than 30 years ago was smooth and certain. For he had a service mindset, and that is how he lived his life every day.
I am probably like many of you who grew up in the western world with fixed concepts of our reality. History, geography, health and science classes in school taught that our bodies, our world, and our universe are fixed realities composed only of solid matter. Many of us were not really taught how to think and consider possibilities beyond what information was in our textbooks, the mode of instruction was to memorize the “facts” so that good grades could be achieved.
I remember the first discussion group to consider possibilities in junior college where one of the “thinkers” who had obviously been thinking far deeper than I, and most everyone else who was present as well, who posed this question to the rest of us, “how do you really know that you actually do exist?” That was followed by laughter and a lot of opinions to be sure.
I remember at the time that I thought the guy was really weird, rather delusional and would in time certainly be sent away somewhere to keep him safe from himself. I don’t even remember his name, and very possibly he went on to become a scientist and/or a discoverer, or at least, a participant in progressive scientific endeavors.
Whatever happened to him, I do not know, but I now look back with some admiration for a young man who seemed normal in every other respect, and who was willing to openly question some of the very basic concepts and thoughts of humanity and consider the possibilities. He came out of the same generation and school system as I did, but his type of courage and inquisitiveness into self discovery is what makes it possible for the human mind to continually explore new frontiers.
I am very grateful for the courage of people with open and questioning minds who have stepped forward and shined their lights of questioning and new thoughts on science, human history and paranormal events of all kinds to consider the possibilities.
In spite of the enormous knowledge, experiences, and studies that have brought forth baffling questions, their are still “materialists” and those who yet focus on fixed concepts only.
Our news broadcasts give such tiny tiny reports, and it seems that many people are satisfied with these little tidbits of information to feed our knowledge bank as we go about the business of living our daily lives. And yet, where does this information come from, what are their motives in generating their reports, and are these reports accurate? It truly behooves each one of us to wonder, to question, to be open and determine if those findings resonate with our own experiences.
“Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?” — Chico Marx, “Duck Soup” (1933)
“Be the change that you want to see in the world.” Indian Sage Mohandas Gandhi (1869-1948)
It’s easy to be an armchair critic and analyze the actions and deeds of others. The rubber meets the road when we ourselves are put to the test. And we don’t have to wait for some trauma or tragedy or special event to occur to test out our moxie or our motives of intent.
Our daily lives are filled with moments and seasons of opportunities to be the change that we want to see. We all would like to be forgiven for our mistakes, acknowledged for our good deeds, shown genuine love, kindness and respect by people in our lives, given a helping hand or a shoulder to lean on when we are hurting, help and support in those areas of daily living where we have two left feet and can never seem to get it right, etc.
Simple acts of kindness, consideration, thoughtfulness and peaceful provocations can bring about far more positive changes than we may have ever imagined.
It is awesome to consider the possibilities of peace and innovation that we could all experience if we find a way to be the change that we want to see.
No one has been able to find the location of our minds. The fixed finite physical brain cells are not able to explain the experiences, memories, visions, capabilities and thoughts relative to our mind and consciousness.
“The concepts which now prove to be fundamental to our understanding of nature…seem to my mind to be structures of pure thought…The universe begins to look more like a great thought than a great machine.” — Physicist James Jeans (1877 - 1946)
“My first idea was that it (consciousness) has to be hardwired in the brain. I spent quite a bit of time trying to figure out how something like that is possible. Today, I came to the conclusion that it is not coming from the brain. In that sense, it supports what Aldous Huxley believed after he had some powerful psychedelic experiences and was trying to link them to the brain. He came to the conclusion that maybe the brain acts as a kind of reducing valve that actually protects us from too much cosmic input…I don’t think you can locate the source of consciousness. I am quite sure it is not in the brain–not inside of the skull…It actually, according to my experience, would be beyond time and space, so it is not localizable. You actually come to the source of consciousness when you dissolve any categories that imply separation, individuality, time, space and so on. You just experience it as a presence.” — Stanislav Grof, M.D., Ph.D., Freudian Psychoanalyst, Assistant Professor Psychiatry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, and Chief of Psychiatric Research at the Maryland Psychiatric Research Center, — “Your Eternal Self” by Craig Hogan, Ph.D.
“that the mind is a separate entity from the brain, and that mental processes cannot be reduced to neurochemical brain processes, but on the contrary direct them. And…a mind may conceivably exist without a brain.” — “Sir John Eccles, internationally recognized brain researcher whose work has had a major influence on brain research.” — “Your Eternal Self” by Craig Hogan, Ph.D.
The Greater Reality
The revelations that are beginning to explain the mystery of our minds, consciousness, and thought origination is, undoubtedly, one of the most important considerations that humans are becoming aware of today.
