Every day has the potential to deepen our knowledge and expand our consciousness. Here are some thoughts to ponder.

Creation is all about evolution. We are five-sensory human beings who can evolve into multi-sensory people. This, according to Gary Zukav in his book “The Seat of the Soul.”

It is widely believed that the great teachers of this world, like Christ, were multi-sensory. He lived and died reflecting a higher purpose, that of a person who transcended his five-sensory human perception and understanding.

Many inspired leaders like Gandhi and Martin Luther King aspired to expand their realities to create a larger picture of themselves as individuals who play a significant role in the dynamics of life itself.

They acted in accordance with values that directed their motivations and actions, fueled by their higher selves. And this higher self reigns in an unseen world, the realm of the soul.

So what does this way of thinking have to do with us and our everyday lives? Actually it has everything to do with us—whether you are a parent, sibling, businessman or homemaker.

Truth no. 1: You have a soul.

Truth no. 2: You have a personality.

There is a distinction between the two. Your personality is an expression of your mortality. It experiences anger, hatred, fear, jealousy, regret, loneliness. The personality can judge, abuse, manipulate in the pursuit of external power. But while the personality can be loving, forgiving and wise, these experiences are only reflections of the soul.

The heart of the matter is this: A five-sensory individual is not aware of his/her soul. Moreover, he/she cannot recognize the stirrings or influence of the soul.

A multi-sensory individual is aware of the soul, and always looks inward as a basis for expressing one’s self outwardly. When you align your personality with the soul, this is the beginning of true creation.

To do:

1. Decide to take action on your personal evolution by practicing conscious choice.

Unconscious choice leads to unconscious evolution. Conscious choice equals conscious evolution.

Translation: If you follow this strictly, then you should no longer justify this statement: “I couldn’t help myself!”

2. Ask yourself what truly motivates and inspires you. Reach inside of you. Stop looking outside. The answers, more often than not, are within.

Intention

Not everything in our world is physical. Our thoughts are forms made of energy or light. And how you think and feel, how you behave, and more importantly, how you live your life is reflective of how you use the light within you.

To do: Challenge and change a negative pattern like anger or jealousy by replacing it with compassion, understanding and trust.

When confronted by a negative person, consciously choose to take control of the situation by changing your reaction to the negativity.

Transcend the “bad vibes” by shielding yourself with light and reflecting that same light with calm. Think peaceful thoughts until you are peace itself. This can overcome the beast in others. And yes, even in yourself.

Let’s get real by putting creation and intention into action.

Getting fit

And you think that I would just leave you in an altered state of consciousness without making it all happen for you in the real world?

So you want to get moving in your fitness goals. Then don’t just make them goals. Convert them into a plan.

This is the process: dreaming, wanting, planning, doing.

One leads to the other.

Ask: Do I want to be fit?

Declare: I will be fit.

Act: Plan and execute your fitness regimen.

When you are successful at this (Note: I didn’t say “if”), you have embarked on a re-creation of yourself.

Yes, oftentimes you could be overcome by guilt. When the stress of work and the challenges of life bear down on you, others who are in the line of fire suffer your wrath. Your intention is to become a more agreeable person. Guess what? That’s not at all impossible. Start by accepting the fact that you can change.

When the “demons” attempt to get to you:

1. Be vigilant. Know that you are under attack by your “lower self.” Awareness is crucial.

2. Drive the dark shadows away by simply taking a deep breath, filling yourself with goodness and happy thoughts, and exhaling your anxieties. Remember: Happiness drives away the blues.

3. Smile, not just with your mouth but with your heart.
