#3 - Moving With The Energy

#3 Moving With The Energy

 

You are going through challenging times, dear ones.  These are the times you incarnated to experience.  These are times of major personal transformation, should you decide to use them as such.  It is during periods of difficulty that you, as human beings, have the opportunity to expand your consciousness and make quantum leaps in your spiritual development, if you remain conscious and if you employ the necessary tools. 

 

Challenges are a way of life on planet earth.  For some of you life’s challenges are like a pothole in the road, and for others they appear to be the size of your Grand Canyon.  With practice you can move through life’s ups and downs like a joyful ride on a roller coaster.  You have the ability to manage difficult times with ease and grace.  You determine if your journey is a stressful one or a joyful one.  Being in a human body can be challenging, but it does not have to be.  The key is to remain present, conscious, and flexible.  This will enable you to be aware of what is happening in the NOW moment and make the necessary adjustments to move with the river of life, rather than against it.  As you move with the energy in this manner, life becomes a joy, and so much easier than when you resist the natural flow.  To do this you do not need to see far off into the future, just the next step or so.

 

As you learn to “read” the energy and move in the appropriate direction, you will find yourself in a new world, enjoying the beauty of life as unexpected doors open and magnificent vistas appear on the horizon that were totally unexpected.  Life becomes a sublime experience of ever expanding joy and bliss.

 

Each and every one of you has more assistance beyond the veil than you can imagine.  Ask for our help and it will be given.  However, you must remain conscious to recognize our help when it arrives, for it will come in many forms and through unexpected channels.

 

You are loved beyond your knowing.

 

I AM Melchizedek

 

 

Randy’s Comments:

I have found that life becomes more difficult when I resist the natural flow of energy.  I’m going to give some examples from my own life experience of how I moved with the energy to illustrate what Melchizedek is referring to.  By the way, I had no idea that I was following the energy until years after my first experience.

 

Military Draft

When I was 18 years old and about to graduate from high school, I was concerned about being drafted into the U.S Army and sent to Viet Nam to fight in a war that I did not want to participate in.  I was told that if I went to college or was married with a family I would not be drafted.  I don’t know if that was true of not, but I thought it was at the time, so I acted accordingly.  I was not ready for college or marriage, so I ruled out those options.  On the other hand, I did not want to be drafted and sent to Viet Nam either.

 

After giving it some thought, I wondered what would happen if I volunteered – if I enlisted in the Army.   That seemed contrary to what I wanted because I was not interested in being in the military, period!  But, since the idea came to mind, I figured that I should at least look into it.  As it turned out, if I enlisted in the Army I could request two locations where I would like to be stationed, and while it was not guaranteed, I was told that my request would be considered.  I requested Japan or Germany.  As a result I was stationed in Germany!  I had a wonderful time (except for the military part) and had the opportunity to visit Switzerland, Belgium and Holland while I was there.

 

At the suggestion of my commanding officer I went to college on the GI Bill after coming back home, as I continued to follow the energy.  The GI Bill was an educational assistance program for ex-service personnel.

 

Major Life Transition

Much later in life, in December of 2006, the company I had been working for as a wholesale sales representative in the mortgage business declared bankruptcy and went out of business.  I had been in the mortgage business since 1978 in various capacities, so even though I never had a passion for that business, I was comfortable with it.  It gave me a lot of freedom and a good income.  After the company I had been working for went bankrupt I tried holding on to what I had been doing for 28 plus years, by working for three other companies during 2007.  It wasn’t working; it was obvious that the energy had shifted and it was time for me to do the same and go where the energy wanted to take me, in a completely different direction.

 

I had planned to step out into the world of self-help, metaphysics and spirituality as a teacher because I had been studying and practicing those topics since the early 1970s, but my intention was to do it gradually.

 

I decided that it was time to cut my ties with the mortgage industry and move in the direction the energy was taking me, where it was obvious that the Universe wanted me to go.  This was a major, life-altering decision because it required me to totally reinvent myself.  So here I am, five years later continuing to do what I came here to do, sharing knowledge and wisdom garnered over the years.

 

What I have found is that it is very obvious when we are moving with the energy because there is a nice flow to life.  Things go our way, unexpected doors open, and life is good.  There may be challenges, but nothing major.  It is also very clear when we are not moving with the energy.  Things just don’t go as smoothly.  When we frequently encounter obstacles, it is the Universe telling us that we need to make an adjustment.  It may be a slight change or a major life-altering modification.  This applies to all areas of life including relationships, health and one’s spiritual path to name a few.

 

When we are not moving with the natural flow, it’s as if we are swimming upstream, which requires a lot more effort than when we move with the energy.  The more we resist the natural flow the more energy it requires.

 

Tips:

  • Pay attention to what’s working and what’s not working.
  • When events in our life are going smoothly, doors are opening and life is generally good, we are moving with the energy.  When things are falling into place with relative ease, we are on the right path and moving with the natural flow of life.
  • If you are coming upon obstacle after obstacle in some area of your life, it may be time to make an adjustment, using your intuition for guidance.
  • If you make a mistake it is no big deal, just make another alteration to your course, just like you would if you were lost in a city.  If you need some directions, check with your inner guidance.
  • Sometimes a minor adjustment will make a world of difference, and sometimes a major modification is necessary.  Consider your options with an open mind and go with what feels right.  Writing your options on paper can be very helpful, especially in providing a clear picture.

Sending love and good fortune,

Randy

#2 - Focus On The Solution

#2 – Focus On The Solution

 

When confronted with challenges in life, we have a tendency to focus on the problem.  As we focus on the problem, it is apt to become imposing – larger than life!  In many cases we feel quite small in comparison to the looming difficulty, which can appear to be quite large.  In this case we have, as they say, “Made a mountain out of a mole hill”.  The more we dwell on the problem the more insurmountable it can appear.

 

Since it is a known fact that what we place our attention on is drawn to us, would it not be better to spend more time contemplating the solution?  Our problems are solved much faster when we focus on how to resolve them.  It can be as simple as wondering what the solution is, or asking what the solution is, or a knowing that the perfect solution will present itself.

 

It is important that we focus on the solution each time the issue comes to mind; thereby, we draw the resolution to us.  One method of doing this is simply saying something like: “I wonder what the solution to _______ is.”  Or “What the solution is for this.”  In many cases just saying this once will not produce the desired results, unless it is a minor problem.  We must keep refocusing our mind whenever we begin to worry, when thoughts of the problem resurface.

 

Our minds have the ability either to operate like a wide angle camera taking in a very large scene or to perform like a telescope zeroing in on a particular object.  We have the inherent ability to focus our mind.  For some of us this is easy; for others it takes more will and determination.  We have free choice, which means that we can drift along allowing life to deal our hand in a haphazard way, or to focus on what we want and draw that into our life.  When we choose the former, we get whatever comes our way.  The wonderful thing about being a human being is that we can choose the latter; we have the ability to focus on something specific, drawing the object of our attention to us!

 

The first step is making a conscious decision to focus on the solution.  Next, whenever you find yourself worrying or focusing on the problem, bring your attention back to the solution.  It’s as simple as that.  As mentioned previously, that could be as easy as asking “What is the solution?” then contemplating that.

 

When confronted with a challenge:

  • Make a conscious intention to focus on the solution.
  • When you find yourself thinking about the problem, bring your attention back to the solution.

 

This all boils down to one statement: Focus on the solution rather than the problem.

 

There are many ways to focus on the solution.  One of my favorite methods is to ask questions.  Asking questions not only helps me focus on the solution, but it also brings forth the answer.  Sometimes the answer comes instantaneously; other times it comes later, usually when I least expect it.

Another method would be to do some research on the topic.  This can be done by reading articles and books about the subject.  Reading biographies about others who have successfully dealt with a similar problem can be helpful.  Watching uplifting movies about people who have successfully overcome similar obstacles is also helpful.  It is imperative to maintain a positive state of mind while dealing with a problem, so we don’t start moving in a downward spiral.

 

The first step is to set our intention by making a conscious decision to focus on the solution.  Next we must take action; we do that by taking the next steps toward the solution while maintaining our focus.  Inaction provides an opportunity for our mind to wander and start to worry.  Just taking action of some kind helps us to move closer to a solution and to maintain a positive frame of mind.

 

Focus on the solution.   

 

Sending love and good fortune,

Randy

#1 – Maintaining A High Vibration

 

Greetings, beloveds.  When basic needs are barely met or you are faced with other life challenges, you are in a perfect space to raise your vibration.  Your first inclination may be to get caught up in fear.  We invite you to look at your predicament in a new light, from a different perspective. First of all, we suggest that you embrace the fear rather than avoid it.  Fear is merely energy – a vibration, a thought form.  As a human you have the ability to change your thought forms, and thereby change your feelings, which will change your vibration and your connection with All That Is.

This may not be an easy task when you first attempt it, but it will become easier as you put it into practice more often.

What you have with challenging situations are … [Continue reading: #1 – Maintaining A High Vibration ... ]
