Are you sick of being the victim of victims? …I am!

I am sick of always feeling responsible for the pain of others and the guilt for being happy and caring and willing to make a difference.

I have recently come to terms with the fact that I was raised in the energy of the victim. I was responsible for my mothers unhappiness ( I believed if I was good enough perhaps she would be happy ) in this energy its hard to be happy so I separated myself a lot. I spent afternoons after school singing by myself in the local Catholic church. It was wonderful, like entering a foreign country where I was only a visitor, I was raised Church of England so the Catholic world was deeply foreign ( according to my Sunday school teacher ).
As I grew older I traveled further afield, walking the length of the giant water pipeline that ran miles and miles through the bush….. I never made it to the end, I had pretty short legs.

In this life I am sure I have done my service and it is time to step up to the next level of being where it is possible to be joyful all the time and not feel guilty because others choose to suffer.

“The world is full of challenges. The way to overcome them is to grow up and past the pain.“

Come into present time and be joyful for what is happening now. That’s the trick. Be here now and look around with appreciation at the beauty and wonder of the world and everyone in it.

money and God… so what’s up with that? (part1 – the missing link)

This post was written as the first article in the “money and God… so what’s up with that?” series. Due to a technical oversight, it has ended up as the second post. We can only assume it was divine order.

Hi there, this is Shankari and I have a puzzle I’d like to share with you.
I have been contemplating a comment I heard recently…
the essence of which was that the speaker believed ” truly spiritual people, find the expression of abundance by others in poor taste and evidence of those individuals lack of true spiritual integrity!”
Did you ever hear such a crock?
I am inspired and intrigued however by the comment and give thanks for the opportunity to have this discussion with you.
This is a broad subject and worthy of our inspection at every level.

I find it best to ask myself simple obvious questions, then answer them from my deepest inner knowing and personal experience. I warmly invite your comments on this timely subject.

The First Questions I want to ask are as follows:
1. What is true wealth?
2. What is true Spiritual Force?
3. Who is truly wealthy?
4. Why?

5. What does it mean to be abundant?
6. What is the difference between Abundance and Wealth?
7. Who has the power to make the most difference on the planet today, the poor
or the rich? The true nature of service.

8. What about our right to celebrate the gifts of The Divine in our own way?
9. Why are humans different from each other?
10. What is “self worth” and how does it relate to financial and physical worth?

So lets start with the first series of questions, “What is true wealth?” and “What is true Spiritual Force?” “Who is truly wealthy and Why”?
I will start by saying that Money is not true wealth. Why is that? Because no amount of Money can buy you a new arm or leg, nor can it buy you genuine affection or true acceptance by others or yourself. Money can’t buy you lasting self esteem, loyal friends, true love or creative drive. All these are true expressions of wealth yet there is no way to buy them!
An abundance of money as many of you will know from personal experience, in many cases makes things worse. It can support the creation of false relationships making it very difficult to discover a sense of ‘appreciation’. With no sense of appreciation for others it’s difficult to develop a true appreciation for your self, with little true self worth, even with money, life is challenging.
No one is protected from “the seeds of their own unfoldment,” no matter how much cash they have access to…. Evolution is rarely comfortable or convenient… that’s simply a fact.

In my early thirties, I was the single parent of four children, living on social security, in Sydney in the eighties. I was studying magic and found myself intent upon finding the energetic keys to abundance so my kids would have something worthy to grow into.

I am impulsive and trusting which has led me to begin again, from zero on more than one occasion! Truly successful, wealthy people have the power to lose everything and start again a number of times before they really make it. I believe that’s because these are the individuals who have that extraordinary ability to forgive themselves and get on with applying the lessons learned through their failure. I am indeed one of these, we know how to realign our relationship with Divine Source and reactivate our creative drive.

So what is the nature of true wealth if it’s not money?
Freedom! The freedom to think for yourself. The freedom to discover what brings you true joy and uplifts your spirits and the time and space to act upon it. Freedom to be of service to others and make a positive difference on the earth in your own way.
Freedom from self judgment and guilt gives humans the energy and self worth to keep stepping up for the next dance…. out of breath and flushed with excitement … completely alive!

I believe true wealth is a combination of these freedoms: a healthy body, an inquiring mind, a fearless heart, a creative spirit that can access from The Divine Source and a well developed sense of humor…  These are the attributes of true wealth and will act as a magnet for money, allowing you financial freedom.

Let me think about this!
True Spiritual Force is an outcome of the same qualities! Is that not so?
“A healthy body, an inquiring mind, a fearless heart, a creative spirit that can access from The Divine Source and a well developed sense of humor... that sounds like a Highly evolved, Spiritual Being to me!
So can you tell me why there is a judgment on wealth associated to people who engage in spiritual practices?

money and God… so whats up with that?

Hi there, this is Shankari and I’m back to talk more about that puzzle!

Have you been giving it some thought?
The Questions I want to ask and answer today are as follows:
1. What is the difference between Abundance and Wealth?
2. What does it mean to be abundant? Where does service fit in?
3. Why do we have such difficulty with money and worth?
4. Who has the power to make the most difference on the planet, the poor or the rich?
5. Why do spirituality and poverty get linked in the unconscious?

In future blogs we will discuss:
6. Why is “the victim” so seductive?
7. Why are we encouraged to give up control and believe we are a “victim of circumstance”?
8. Where does personal taste apply to your ability and right to celebrate the Divine?
9. What is “self worth” and how does it relate to financial and physical worth?

10. What is the upside and downside of your relationship between financial wealth and freedom?
11. What is the highest responsibility of each human being on earth? Isn’t that… to live to your full potential, as a creative expression of The God Force?
12. Where does your Success and celebration fit into wealth and spirituality?

13. What is “Spirituality” anyway? Simple choices are powerful, why don’t you make them?
14. Who is “spiritual”? Having the best… why not?
15. The danger of labels, the value of “non judgment”.
16. Never compare yourself to anyone… the only one worthy of competing against is yourself!

17. Who really cares and why?
18. What level of responsibility do we take as the world is going into transition?
19. Why wear an activated Talisman made in Sacred Space?
20. Glamor, what is glamor and how did it become ‘non spiritual” to be glamorous?

21. Who are the White Magicians? What is their purpose and potential? Who supports them?
22. The truth about service, wealth and abundance, how does the God Force express on earth today?
This is a list that should keep us going for a while.

Years ago in the beginning in Bali I would often meet extremely wealthy people, I also met others who did not have large sums of money but seemed to always be magnetically aligned for the best outcome from everything they touched. These were the happy people that cared about the welfare of others. True wealth is a “Frequency of Being”, it has nothing to do with how much money you have.
I have met some extremely poor very rich people in my time and I know from personal experienece…. you cannot make a poor man wealthy by giving him money, so what is wealth and why is it different from abundance?

A wealthy person has a lot of resources they keep for themselves, an abundant person knows there is always enough and is willing to share what they have in service to the greater good.
I am an abundant person. I have chosen to be this because as I observe the world around me it is those who share their wealth and see them selves as abundant that are truly joyful, healthy, and respected. These kinds of people are invested in the common wealth and are responsible for building community.

Thirty four years ago when I first realized my future was to be a single parent living on a small pension, supplied by the Australian government, I decided that I would apply for a world vision child and send that child a small part of my pension each month, that way there was another soul benefiting from my pension and my frequency could remain abundant, since I had more than enough to share! To believe you have more than enough to share is to know absolutely that you are an abundant being, supported by the God Force.

This set up a frequency of abundance in my life that has stayed with me for all these years and through many trials and tribulations, Abundance is the exercise of freedom, the freedom to share from source.

Wealth is a statement of your position in the world and determines your available resources, it does not insinuate the power to share in the same way abundance does.

Beautiful Secrets..!

• Self worth is your magnet

Self Worth and Beauty have an intriguing relationship. They both create a similar reaction in those around you. When you feel worthy it affects your environment. You become a magnet for  attention. You are attractive and beautiful. People feel comfortable in your presence and want to be near you.

• People want to like you

When you are not sure of your worth, people see you coming and run the other way. You will seem unbearable, “needy” and “clingy.” They will perceive you as an energy drain and a distraction. They may be polite to your face but they’re really looking for the fire exits, thinking up excuses and planning their escape!

• You can’t fake it till you make it

When you first meet someone, you both go through your stories about who you are. After dust settles you start to see each other as you really are. It’s pretty clear who feels good about them selves.

• False confidence is only temporary

It might work for a while but when the dust settles your facade of false confidence will crumble. You might create envy in others but it is no replacement for genuine self worth.

• Your Self Worth is the deciding factor

If your self worth is low, then it’s difficult for people with high self worth to be around you. It’s difficult for them to like you. It’s even difficult for them to pity you because if they do, they are agreeing with your picture of your self. In doing so they are locked in to dealing with you and your version of your self.

• Raise your Self

There is a natural tendency for you to associate with people who have the same level of self worth as you have inside. Often your level of self worth is a product of the environment you grew up.  I have got good news for you. You are still growing up! Everyday you have the opportunity to raise your self.

• It’s your “come back” that counts

If you fall back into your old ways, don’t “beat your self up,” remember that no one is on top all of the time. We all have good days and bad days. What matters is how soon you choose to confidently and gracefully pick your self up again. Affirming your worth to your self takes some practice but you are worthy of the results you create for your self.

• Why do some people have all the looks but never seem to get the breaks?
• How come some people are not that glamorous but have an amazing ability to attract wealth and beautiful people around them?

• True Self worth is your magnet

Raise Your Self Worth, it will change your life. You will be pleasantly surprised at your magnetic ability to attract wealth and beauty. Just simply by raising your own perception of your self. Again, it does take some practice but the rewards are great.

You will start to make good progress in your life when you accept that regrouping your energy and caring for your self are part of the game plan.

• Raise your Self Worth

In this fabulous world your experiences in life may be an adventurous journey. Some days are great, other days will test you. The thing that counts most is how easily to re point your self back in the direction of your true path. The path of self respect and self worth.

• Celebrate your self worth

Surround your self with beautiful things that support you. As you remain firm, clear and gentle about how much you are worth, the world and the people around you will start to agree. You may not have your way with everyone but you will command the respect as one who is worthy.

People will look up to you because teaching by example is the most gracious way to share your light with the world. As you already surely know that actions speak louder than words. Celebrating your worth is an action that will help you affirm your natural divinity.

Be gentle, be kind, be caring and above all be honest with your self.

• Self worth is the true currency of the wise and beautiful.

It is your birth right…

 

The Danger of Self Pity..!

Self Pity ….. There is no more dangerous material on earth! If you want success in your life. You must be prepared to surrender the need for self pity and move into the energy of the hero!

You may wish to percieve this in terms of the victim or the victor! The victor experiences victory over the challenges they face for as long as they do not indulge themselves in self pity!

Because…

Self pity is the food of the victim!

My mother was deaf and as an outcome she approached her life in a more philosophical way than most women of her times. She constantly reminded us that God would not give anyone a job they couldn’t do if they really tried their best.

I believe she had a difficult life and as a result of her personal experience she brought a great deal of authority to our experience of life. She always said to us….. “All care will be shown but no sympathy!”

Sympathy is for wimps that want to be reminded of their weakness….. Instead you should show compassion which is the belief in their ability to overcome and succeed against the odds!
There is no more time for self pity. There is only time for action!

Action is the solution to self pity!

Taking action in service to your success and in celebration of your unique gifts for the world.

Go and do it now! Yes yes yes!

Is money your friend?

Is money your friend? Most people see money through very emotionally tinted eyes. Your core underlying beliefs are really your parent’s core beliefs this mechanism of survival is not often a path of abundance.

The way your parents felt about money is one of your underlying core beliefs that may be destroying your potential for financial success.

Discover your true relationship with money and adjust it to where it is in your true service. Not simply playing out the old patterns constantly “making yourself right,” that there’s not enough……. Time, space or money …… To keep you safe, give you rest or bring you true love. In fact it is not money that provides you with these things. This is the grand illusion of our life and times.

In all circumstances it is your ability to create and sustain good relationships with people, places and objects that determines your ultimate success and power to survive against the odds. The key is in retaining custody of your emotional body rather than allowing it to rule your every waking moment!

True power lies in your ability to adapt to new circumstances while being creative with the resources you have rather than complaining about what you don’t have.

Wealth is a frequency of Being. Love yourself enough to learn how to bring yourself to balance and stay flexible and strong under pressure. True wealth and freedom are experienced only when you are in a balance. Blessings from the winds of Hawaii Shankari xx

 

Music goes beyond politics

Music is a powerful force upon the earth. From the Russian Masters and their military meddles to the current form of modern popular music.
Music unites people and activates new brain frequencies in the listener as well as the musician. Music brings people together and soothes the troubled soul. Find your way to make music! Whoever you are and whatever you do, music will enrich your life.

Music goes beyond language, politics and economics. Music is the international language of understanding. I welcome all musicians into the energy of the Mystery School in Hawaii. We are planning a wide and diverse music department.

Great music comes from the heart and is a healing force across the planet…. Just listen to the lyrics of the Beatles! All you need is love! Blessings from the sunshine of Hawaii S xx

 

Successful healing

There are lots of very successful ways to address healing your emotional body and bringing all your bodies into alignment. The main factor is you must first and foremost WANT to heal it rather than wallow around it whilst saying to your self and others, “its not there and I’m not wallowing!”

The decision that you are worthy of a better life with more joy and less suffering has to come from deep within your Being. You must create a vision of your future and move towards it steadfastly. What do you deserve? What will you do to create your dreams? How much of the “victim within you” will you need to heal in order to begin creating your future success.

Its all in your hands! No matter how resentful you feel and how much blame you can assign to others for past events. Your next moment and your entire future is in your hands and no one elses. It’s up to you to decide what you are willing to commit to in the name of your personal evolution.
