Wind of the Soul

In my post Universal Law of Reciprocation, I related a summary of an article that was written by Bill Phillips. In today’s entry, I wanted to once again reference Bill and a writing exercise he employed in his old Muscle Media magazine. It appeared in the editorial section of the March 2000 issue and was titled “As I See It.”

Bill created a list of eighty four items that all began with how he saw things. His list addressed the topics of fitness, health, self development and some spiritual philosophies. I’ve always admired that writing exercise and decided to create my own list of thirty six items, listed in no particular order. I thought it would fit in perfectly as an entry in my Self Truths series.

So here it is, in Wind of the Soul style:

1. As I see it… when we set out to uplift others, we can’t help but lift ourselves up in the process.

2. Life is a journey that’s embarked upon for the experience, joy, and the use of our creative abilities.

3. We live more than once.

4. We’re never truly separated from those that have passed on before us.

5. Love is all that exists, but we’ve convinced ourselves otherwise.

6. The physical world is symbolically comprised of our inner feelings and beliefs.

7. The gates to heaven and hell exist in the same place; the only place they’ve ever existed— within. We’re the only ones responsible for withholding the joys of the former and condemning ourselves to the latter.

8. We’re pure energy swimming in an even larger sea of energy.

9. When we follow our bliss, we’re unstoppable.

10. We have the power to heal ourselves.

11. Our emotions should not be ignored. They should be cultivated and tuned like a fine instrument.

12. We can’t be of benefit to others from a place of minding their business.

13. We’ve only scratched the surface on the potential of our abilities.

14. We’re on the edge of a large shift in human awareness.

15. Altered states (meditation) and inner journeys (dreams, OBE’s, etc.) teach us more about reality and truth than all of our time spent in grammar school, high school, college, and work combined.

16. We’ve allowed ourselves to be bullied, by the sociological institutions, into forsaking inner knowledge, negating our own truths, and relinquishing our power.

17. The law of attraction sorts out everything.

18. Death is an amazing transitional experience into new worlds of being.

19. We should spend more time listening to young children and absorbing their wisdom. They believe in their dreams and know anything is possible. It’s only when an adult teaches them they can’t, often enough, that they start believing it.

20. Other people’s judgments of us mean nothing. The judgment of ourselves means everything.

21. If we set our sights on what we desire, maintain enthusiasm and a consistent direction of physical action toward it; the Universe will deliver it in full- no ifs, ands or buts.

22. Each one of us is god/goddess expressing itself at this level of reality.

23. The more often we take a few brief moments to appreciate, the more often we open ourselves up to receiving even more amazing experiences.

24. No one ever made it to where they wanted to be by complaining and focusing on what’s currently going wrong.

25. We’re over dependent on journeying toward material things to make us happy and under dependent on journeying toward our happiness as a means for uncoupling it from material things.

26. One of the most brilliant phrases ever uttered was, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” (Mahatma Gandhi)

27. The more often we can tune out all distractions and focus on our current moment and the subtleties within it, the more often we will achieve a greater comprehension of our life experience.

28. Our past resentments must be forgiven and wiped clean if we hope to move into a brighter, healthier future.

29. Animals, like young children, are some of the best teachers on this planet.

30. There’s no difference between all of us and the most famous spiritual avatars throughout history- other than they fully remembered and embraced their greatness, minus any doubts.

31. The big bang was not the beginning of consciousness.

32. The Universe is teaming with life, both physically focused and non-physically focused.

33. We must learn to aim our attention instead of aiming our guns. The deliberate shift in where we place, or aim our thoughts is powerful enough to circumvent the use of violence, permanently; if we would only begin utilizing it as a mass consciousness.

34. When I look back on my past, I realize the people I understood the least, often possessed great gems of truth, but I wasn’t ready to recognize them.

35. We each have our own life flow. The more we fight its natural current the more of an imbalance we create for ourselves.

36. It’s never too late to make peace with someone; even if they are no longer in your life. Find the feeling place and direct it toward them. We often believe everything has to be done face to face, but that’s not the case in a Universe which is stemming from our own inner awareness.

I hope you enjoyed this portion of my list. I’ll be back with more in an upcoming entry. Please feel free to contribute your own, As I see it list in the comments below. I’d love to post them.
