The School of Lost Causes and Found Causes

It’s at times like this, late in my life, when I feel the most humble. I’ll tell you why. I’ve been given so much help in my life when I needed it the most. This has not always saved me from suffering and pain but sometimes it has. The help is a comfort though through it all. I think that’s why The School of Lost Causes, as I’m calling it, is what I’ve been working on.

 The school is basically about things that can’t be fixed but can over time be transformed with work, patience, healing, forgiveness of others and one’s self and experience.

 Sometime lost causes can be people or events that have changed the course of people’s lives or limits and many others.

 Some of my motivation for the school came from a question, often with urgency, of, “Can’t I do something to help?”

 Sometimes there were things to do though often other people were already doing them. Now and then though, someone would say something like, “We’ve tried and tried but it’s just a lost cause.”

 I know they did try, I’m not doubting that and so I turned to prayer and spirituality.

 Eventually through the guidance of spiritual teachers I was able to discover something I called magic because it worked like magic and you’ll find a lot of what I call magic on this blog and on my other, Benevolent Magic and sometimes even on Explorer Race blog. 

 It’s taken me a lifetime to accumulate this wisdom and it is my intention to share what I can for those of you who are on a path of wanting to help.

 I feel it is best to read these blogs from their first posts to their most recent and feel what you are drawn to the most. 

 I may or may not be able to post much more on them but there is a lot that can either help you or inspire you on your own path.

 I wish you all well. Goodlife

My Path of Learning and Practice

One of the people I work with and am assisting to learn many things has asked a question that has come up before many times and since it has come up many times I thought I would publish my answer to him here for you to read. Here is his question:


Robby,

Is there a difference between Shamans like you and the ones from (a place mentioned here), as in (video link here).

How do you feel about the (place mentioned here) Shaman culture, if I can call it that way?

Goodlife,

------------------
And here is my answer:

My Friend,

I do not watch, read or in any way study the work of other Shamans. This is entirely because I'm attempting to move on my own path - growing, changing and acquiring wisdom as I accumulate time and experience.

If I interact with other people in this work I keep it in a social vein. In my experience many of them wish to do that as well.

So I won't be looking at the video link you've sent and I can't really comment on the value of the work of others except to say that there are many people working with great sincerity using mystical and shamanic practices to improve the quality of life for all beings. This is what I believe and I feel that those goals and a great many of those practices are worthy contributions towards that end.

Goodlife,

Robby

There is a related issue that comes up as well and it has to do with the channeling I do as well as other forms of inspiration I receive. So even though the following is somewhat repetitive as it is an answer to another question asking me about someone else's work I'm including it here so you know a little bit more about me and the way I work:

Greetings my friend,

I have to tell you that I have a certain standard because of the channeling that I do. I don't follow other people's work be it spiritual and especially if it is inspired or channeled. There's a reason for this.

I decided very early on that in order to bring through new material or even material that may have been known once upon a time in the far distant past but was completely lost that it was essential for me to not expose myself to other people's inspirations. So even though I've run across things - especially say books about people's UFO contacts that I would have loved to have read, once I started even the early stages of my channeling I stopped reading all that stuff. So we're talking about really not having read these things since the 1970's.

So, I do not ever read anybody else's or expose myself to anybody else's channeling or spiritual material they produce in the form of words or the spoken word.

This is not because I'm an elitist or a snob :-) but rather because I wish to produce what I do produce from a completely original point of view to the best of my ability without being influenced or stimulated by the creations of others in the world of spoken or written spiritual matter.

I've dedicated myself to keeping as clear as possible as a Channel and this has allowed me to bring through The Explorer Race material and other things that are unique.

Goodlife,

Robby

Understand that I value other people and their work and I do encourage you to read and study a wide variety of inspired and mystical work when you're on your own spiritual, mystical or shamanic path but when you are firmly on that path as I am now, and in my case have spirit teachers to guide me, then focusing on my own path in my own way is what's best for me.

For you - you will have to decide when, what and how you will stop studying with others - perhaps with the guidance of your teachers - and follow your own path. The people you serve and your experience with them may prompt you to extend your education through your entire practice however and life as well. Experience is often a wise and humbling teacher.

Still, whatever you choose I would recommend you choose a path that is benevolent for you and all beings. Goodlife to you all.
