Have you noticed? For a long time you might have seen and noticed how much people are being desensitized to the traumas and discomforts of others but now that has changed.
Mother Earth is taking care of herself and she must do this. I have spoken here many times about how we must take over many of the things Mother Earth has done for us, for example here and also here but now as I say things have changed.
We are now being sensitized, not desensitized. Some of you will have noticed this. Things that didn't use to bother you hardly at all are agitating you in situations at the office, maybe at home. You get mad without much stimulation. Things upset you.
This does not mean that you're going crazy though you might feel that way. In fact it means that what you have suppressed, what you have decided was insolvable in your life is now coming up to the surface to be solved or at least acted upon in some benevolent way so that your body recognizes that you - your mind and your total personality - are prepared to do something to improve the quality of your life even if it's only a step.
This desensitization that we've all deplored quite a bit in the past, people laughing at other peoples misery and so on or trying to find a joke in it and even sometimes trying to find a joke in ones own misery, has made for a lot of temporarily amusing moments but in the long run it has made for a lot of discomfort and a lot of yes - misery and it has also caused people to become very cynical because they expect less and less and less out of their life - but now as everyone is being sensitized to their own situation - so they will become much more aware of the needs of others because others will be speaking up just as you may be speaking up now. If not in words then in actions.
So here's the key. It's not about his fault, it's not about her fault, it's not about their fault though it may very well seem that way because of compromises you've been making in declaring your own needs.
It's really important now for those of you who care to do so to write down a list of your own needs or to just speak it when you are alone.
Nevertheless if you can begin to speak to friends and loved ones about your needs - not making any demands of them, not providing any commands towards them and to give them permission to speak about their needs as well and to keep these things in a conscious discussion and to try to help each other to meet your needs - things will get better.
Mother Earth is sensitive now to her own needs. We are made up of Mother Earth and we must become sensitive to ours - not because I say so but because this is what's happening. If we know what's happening we'll be less upset and agitated about it.
So - homework. Pick out 3 good friends - alright - or if you're not sure whether you've got 3 good friends then pick out 3 people that you feel pretty good about.
First say - I want to give you permission to speak about your needs. They might look at you blankly. Then say - I need to speak about my needs even though you (may or may not) have anything to do with fulfilling them but I need to do this and I need to find some way to act on these needs at least in part to bring about some solution - and I give you permission to do the same.
If they don't say much or they encourage you a little bit then speak about your needs to them - alright - and give them permission.
The best way to speak your needs is to say what you want, not what you don't want - that is very important. When you speak about what you don't want your body gets confused about what to bring to you or what circumstances to develop in your life so something comes to you. However when you speak exclusively your needs in the form of what you do want then your body will be able to create circumstances and potentials to meet people to bring about possibilities that you may be able to work with to fulfill those needs.
Say to your friends - when you want to speak about your needs come to me, I'll be ready to hear it - and share with them this idea of speaking of their needs to 3 people. It really helps and it will help to bring about the action that's needed. That's what I recommend.
Goodlife.

We Can Be Optimistic
Last time I mentioned about the value of changing the cycle of cynicism where one expects the worst, to not only avoid being disappointed but also because one has perhaps been conditioned to have low expectations, to a cycle of optimism where one expects - not only that things can get better but expects that things can get better for oneself. This is a most benevolent situation for these times.
You know by reading on this blog, Mystical Man, that I am discussing to a great extent now benevolent magic - yes and other magical aspects of life but also life changing capacities that we all have.
It is not my intent to say that you and you and you and you and you and me yes - are living our lives all wrong. Rather it is my intent to say - here we are all on this planet now. What are we going to do to improve the quality of our lives even if we perceive that resources are limited as good Economist's will tell us and from a pragmatic point of view - absolutely it's true - resources are limited but perhaps not as limited as they appear.
Magic can be bountiful, it can change everything and it does not have to be fiction. It can be benevolent and it is best when it is benevolent for all. In that way there is no resistance whatsoever to the most benevolent results.
You must let go however - absolutely - of revenge. Using magic to institute, perpetuate or in any way create a agenda for revenge simply won't work or if it does work it inevitably comes back on those who have encouraged it to happen - perhaps even ordered it to happen - meaning ordering others to do so and invariably causes usually twice the traumatic effect that was thrust upon others.
I am not trying to say - oh, all that do magic are doomed - just the opposite. I am saying that magic can be profoundly benevolent and I believe that that is exactly what it is intended to be. So without further ado let me go into the subject for today.
When we believe because of our conditioning that life is to be expected to be hard, a struggle, a burden and that we must fight and scrabble our way to the top no matter what effect on others - we see to an extent what our world has become.
It is possible of course to see many good things in our world that are there and of course it is desirable to sustain those good things and yet we need to do more to not only sustain them but to encourage the re-emergence of good things that are lost or have gone away completely.
Here's how we can begin. It is a simple idea that incorporates feelings. For those of you who are Actors or Performers this will be easier because you will know how to be something even for a moment. Feel free to instruct others to relearn as a child might do naturally how to be something as - almost in play - you see. To pretend, yes - but if you are not an Actor or Performer then you may have to pretend or imagine.
For starters - imagine a experience of complete benevolence whatever form that is for you as long as it is benevolent - meaning good for you and good for others - so everyone is happy yes - an imagination alright. And then - slowly if you can allow whatever you are picturing to be less prominent and focus on the feelings that have come up within you - alright.
Then while those feelings are present simply say out loud, "Life can get better" and "Life can get better for me now."
Make an effort to do this just in that fashion once a day for the next 30 days. Then once every other day for the next 30 days. Then once every week for the rest of your life - or more often if you prefer but never more than once a day.
Try to do this someplace where you are alone or if you are never alone or rarely alone then you can whisper it but it must be done out loud as a voice - a speaking voice or as a whisper.
It cannot be done and successfully accomplished to the degree that is desirable if it is thought. However if for some reason you are unable to speak out loud or even whisper then do think it and perhaps it will be helpful to a degree.
I will say more about this in time but for right now I feel the urgent belief - yes but also the urgent desire that we lay down the foundation for a cycle of optimism as I will continue to give you more and more in the world of magic on how to create the most benevolent world regardless of the materials that are available to create it.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.

Gently Influencing The Weather: Flood Part 2
Last time I spoke to you about engaging the sun. I want to elaborate on that a bit.
In order to truly welcome the sun it is important to engage it which in this case means to attract it.
If Mother Earth is cleansing herself with rain it is not for us to stop that process but sometimes because we, as human beings, become conditioned to things as we are often conditioned when we are young we become expectant of things to happen even if they are unpleasant or overwhelming.
It is this expectancy which creates an unintentional attachment to the least happening that is good and even expecting the worst. Granted, we might do this sometimes so that we are not disappointed in life but other times if a great many people are expecting the worst - meaning for it to continue raining and continue raining to the point of flood and beyond there must be some people who know how to engage the sun - in short how to attract it.
So this is what I recommend. You have perhaps studied welcoming the sun by now and even tried that out a little bit or at least considered how you might try it out at a time when it is needed. Engaging the sun is a little more so of that.
Here's how to do it. In order to engage the sun you must feel a kinship with it. This does not simply mean pretending to be the sun which others can teach effectively but it must be a kinship that feels safe.
I have mentioned this in other places - perhaps not on these blogs but I'm going to go over this now. This is a method you can use also to purify yourself - meaning to free yourself of energies and entities that may be harming you or could harm you not because they are malevolent but rather because they are lost or unable to find their way. Purification in this sense means that you will be able to release them from your energy body and they will be able to be transfered to where they need to be and it is a win-win for all.
Now this is what to do and the steps must be followed exactly as I've laid out to have the best effect. In this case the sun will not in any way be harmful to you because even though it is the sun in the sky, as we know it to be, the sun is not hot and we are not effected by the heat but rather we are effected benevolently by the light.
This is what to do. Picture yourself to the right of the sun and you can be standing or sitting and if possible actually feel yourself there. Those of you who've learned how to bilocate here, then here, and also here - that's the best way but if not visualize yourself to the right of the sun. Know that the sun will not be harmful. It is strictly a large light experience.
Now move very slowly. It will feel slow but it will take you about - maybe 30 to 40 seconds to move from the right to the left right through the sun and in that process - in that 30 to 40 seconds or maybe even in some cases a minute - possibly a little longer you will feel a lot of stuff fall away from you. And now move all the way through the sun.
As I say, if you can feel yourself moving through that mass of light it would be best but if you simply see it - as in a visualization that will be of some help as well.
When you are done moving from the right to the left simply be where you are - meaning if you are sitting or laying down and relax for a few moments and then open your eyes. See how you feel.
If it wasn't that good for you because it was a visualization then practice the bilocation as I've laid out before.
This is a good way to engage the sun because it allows you to feel the sun as something that is entirely desirable not just a light creating being in our world - alright.
So - when it is raining too much what you do especially if you can bilocate is you experience yourself moving through the sun and when you are doing that - you can be indoors by the way or outdoors, it doesn't make any difference - when you are doing that feel that good feeling you have because the sun has removed the discomfort from you and that friendly feeling will help you to welcome the sun to a greater degree on Earth where you are.
There is one last thing to do here. If you can say the following Living Prayer I recommend you say, "I am asking that all beings here in this area that is flooding or soon to flood feel a sense of great personal warmth and welcome for the sun and to expect the sun to be out, the sky to be blue, the ground to dry up as it is in its most benevolent state and for life to go on in the most benevolent way."
There is a follow up to that as well. When you see people, every time you hear someone say - the rain will never stop or other cynical statements simply say to them the following.
"The sun will be coming soon - expect it" or "I heard that the rain is going to lift and that it will be sunny soon." In short - it is like a suggestive statement you see but it is also to encourage people - alright. It is important to encourage and support people to not just believe something in the face of all evidence to the contrary but to encourage them to encourage others that the rain cycle can return to its normal state of being.
It is important to move beyond expecting the worst even if one is trying to avoid being disappointed. That way the cycle of cynicism can be broken and it is possible even to engage a cycle of optimism. I will say more about a cycle of optimism in times to come here.
Goodlife to you all and goodnight.
