By Neale Donald Walsch
I’ve heard that before.
You’ve heard almost everything here before. You will feel joyous and free when you simply apply in your life what you already know. And . . . to offer one more repetition . . . the fastest way to apply it in your life is to assist someone else in applying it in theirs.
Finally, you would be aware that everything is energy in vibration. Everything. And so you would pay much more attention to the vibration of everything that you eat, of everything that you wear, of everything that you watch, read or listen to, and most important, of everything that you think, say and do, and you would immediately adjust the vibration of your own energy and the life energy that you are creating around you if you find that it is not in resonance with the highest knowing you have about Who You Are, and the experience of this that you choose to demonstrate.
Express Gratitude.
This is the most powerful tool you could be given. Gratitude can be a selected energy, and not merely an autonomic response. When one actively chooses to be grateful for everything presenting itself in one’s life (and I do mean everything), it sets up an energetic signature that washes over and impacts the energy of whatever is now arising. This can transmogrify (defined as: “To transform, especially in a surprising or magical manner”) the presentation itself – to say nothing of one’s entire life.
Choose a State of Being.
Do this in advance of anything you know you are going to think, say or do. Life has very little to do with what you are doing and very much to do with what you are being while you are doing it. The surprising thing about this is that through pure intention, “beingness” is transformed from a reaction to a creation. It is no longer something that arises out of an experience, but something that you put into an experience. And one final tool for integration.
Go with the soul.
Most often, you respond to whatever is happening in your life – whether it is an illness, a disappointment, a happy surprise, whatever it might be – from the logic centre in your mind. You analyse the data that your mind holds regarding the experience at hand, and that is the place from which your reaction emerges.
It is possible for you to cultivate the ability to respond from the wisdom centre in your soul. Here, the data regarding the experience at hand is unlimited and expansive, and includes considerations and understandings that may not have been even conceived of in the mind.
The soul is the place within which everything you know is already integrated, and simply awaits the outward expression of that. So take a moment whenever anything is confronting you – something that you call “good news” or something you call “bad news” – and instruct your mind to let you act as if you are out of your mind. Then notice your response emerge without thinking, producing a spontaneous demonstration of your soul’s wisdom and awareness.
I love this, I love this. Now we’re talking! Now I’ve got some equipment with which to finish climbing that mountain! This is great. And you know what? I actually came up with my own version of that last tool myself.
I guess I understood intuitively that there was one way that I could bring to my everyday life the experience of what I already know to be true. So I came up with, a few years ago, what I’ve come to call The Magic Inquiry. I use it to make an instant assessment of whether what I just did, am now doing, or am about to do, is . . . well, here’s that word again . . . congruent with my deepest desire. Before I sit down to watch a movie or walk into a social situation or prepare a meal or have a conversation with a beloved other, or do anything at all that I have judged to be of here-and-now importance, I quietly ask myself: and what does this have to do with the Agenda of my soul?
That’s a great question. That can open anyone to a powerful inner exploration.
