Wind of the Soul

I recently spoke with an acquaintance that knows about energy and understands that our emotions, thoughts and beliefs contribute completely to the experiences we are encountering. Yet, they simultaneously hold firmly to the idea that anytime they hit a rough patch in their life it means they must have had lessons to learn. I always listen quietly and respectfully to their explanations, until eventually shifting gears and changing the direction of our conversations. While I never knock anyone’s personal beliefs; we all have the ability to view our circumstances in anyway we choose, I can’t help but notice how disempowering this life lessons approach can be.

Obviously, this is a very personal thing. If it makes someone feel better (than where they just were, emotionally speaking) to chalk their recent experiences up to life lessons, then far be it from me to say it’s not a valid approach. However, if we always turn to that excuse every time things seem amiss, it’s tantamount to saying that something outside our own awareness is assigning tasks and obstacles to us because we refuse to “play ball.”

Have you ever pondered the significance of the mile markers, billboards, sign posts, and scenery along your daily drive? I’m talking about a deeper significance a little further below the surface. For most of us these things just blend into the periphery, becoming an ever increasing blur of shapes and colors as we’ve grown accustomed to their presence.

We stare out the windshield while our mind wades through a ton of minutia: thinking about what we did yesterday, last week, last year, and what we’ll be doing today, tomorrow, and next month without paying much attention to what’s whizzing by either side of our vehicle. Yet, what’s whizzing by us is the very reason we perceive ourselves capable of arriving at the destination we’re en route to reach.

There’s a firmly seated idea within the human mind that death and the afterlife provide a permanent respite from active awareness. This holds just as true for believers as it does for non-believers in the survival of consciousness beyond the death transition. Whether viewed as a reward from the almighty to sit on a cloud and play a harp for eternity or as a means for taking the fast track into oblivion; death has somehow been equated with the end of our expansiveness.

This shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise however, since most people shun their expansive nature during the course of their physical experience. Many assume they did their duty by playing the game of life and after they die it’s time to either turn the keys over to “whoever’s running the show” or else cease to be altogether.

The thing is- we don’t get off the hook that easy, but I have a feeling you already knew I was going to say that.

Question: I’ve always been interested in whether or not our will has the potential to overcome universal laws like gravity?

Answer: That’s an excellent question. It’s one I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about as well. All of the scientific literature refers to gravity as a universal law. However, science (outside of some forms of the new physics) still refuses to acknowledge out of body experiences (OBE), near death experiences (NDE) and the dream world as legitimate encounters in which consciousness is interacting in other realities and environments. Despite this “oversight” by the scientific community, hundreds of thousands of people continue to embark upon these experiences via altered and expanded forms of consciousness, which cannot be explained away as elements of overactive imaginations.
