Forever Now

Ever notice how there is a recurring theme throughout your life? A sort of cycle if you will. A cycle you ask yourself, "Why am I experiencing this and how can I get out from it?"

Could it be relations with your boss at each job you take on?
Perhaps it's a neighbor you just can't stand the thought of.
The way someone close to you knows just how to manipulate you into feeling one way or another is one more example. Maybe it's a lack of self-confidence or other insecurities stemming from the past. It could also be what we do to a loved one, which results in feelings of shame and guilt. In turn, we are affecting ourselves by our choices of action and reaction.

It's so easy to just allow ourselves to get caught up in the "drama" aspect. We should take a step back and examine the roles we each play; ask ourselves... how does this situation or person serve my highest good? Out of this, what can I learn? How can I transmute this, or is my task simply to ignore without involvement?

This is different for each of us. Only you know the lessons you must learn. We must find the balance of thought and emotion with faith. Faith in our ability to not only endure and surpass but faith in ourselves to evolve as spiritual beings.

After all, coming here to earth without a challenge would be pointless. Where is the fun in a game which has no challenge?
Mind you, this could be perceived as a complicated game (if you are unaware of the rules) but nonetheless a challenge of growth.
Not everything is made to be easy, although it can be difficult for some people to simply allow what is easy to flow through. Again this brings us to "perspective."

When we change our thoughts, we change our perspective. When we change our perspective, we change our emotions. When we change our emotions, we change our point of attraction, therefore changing the outcome and breaking the cycle.

Think of Alexander the Great; he had many moments in his young short life, where most people would've been discouraged to give up. He even had brief periods of doubt, but the mere thought of defeat or giving up caused him to dig his heels deeper to stand his ground. As we know he forged ahead no matter what the seemingly impossible odds were. Most of which he dealt with for the very first time. He acted fast on his feet but how he initially reacted could have cost him not only the battle at hand, but his faith in himself and his life.

So first we must win the battle within ourselves... Eliminating doubt and replacing it with vigilance, patience, trust, determination, strength, courage, passion and will power but most of all, faith. What we believe eventually becomes our "first nature" truth, in essence, our reality. Change a dis-empowering belief to an empowering belief and you just changed your life.

Remember you are all that you need, all is within you. How, when or where you were born is of no consequence. Only you own the control of your ability to move past the past and finally live in the full potential of the forever now.

Good luck to you, and all my love

One with All and Everything

If you open your heart and mind, you'll be surprised at the wonders that are available to you. If you want to be reminded simply go outside. Look around at all the natural beauty.

For example...

The soil of the earth
The fresh grass
The stones
The flowers
The trees
The birds
The small animals

Experience these examples with all your senses. Then close your eyes and feel the warmth of the sun upon your face.
Notice how life seems so timeless? Be one with the flow, knowing all that you need is provided for. Trust your natural abilities and allow what you need to come to you.

You are the beauty you seek. You are spirit. You are one with all everything. You are blessed and most of all, you are Loved.

The So Called "Bad"

Ever find yourself going through major life changes, for the "good" or the seemingly "bad"?

I know I have.

Sometimes they can seem rather scary, but you just have to remember that everything does indeed happen for a reason, all of which we have attracted into our lives.

You're probably thinking... "How on earth did I attract this?! I'm a good person! I do all the things expected of me and even more! What's the problem here!?"

Now does that sound familiar?

Perhaps this situation presenting itself is merely reflecting the issues not dealt with inside, perhaps even suppressed experiences that left a deep impression upon your psyche.

We've got to look at these as opportunities for awareness and healing. We should also see the good around the corner. Look at your difficult situation as a catalyst for something better on its way.

If you hold on so tightly to what's in your hands, how are you able to receive something better?

It's okay. You are protected. You can detach from what's going on because you are safe and loved. You have to know that your higher self is setting something up beyond the mind's understanding.

Now you may be asking "WHAT CAN I DO?!"

What is within your control, act upon it without delay.
For everything else that is out of your control, know that
adversity makes you stronger. And that there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Your job is to REMAIN POSITIVE.

See the outcome you want to create. You are a powerful manifester. You don't believe me? Look around at everything in your life. All of these you attracted into creation, good and "bad." I am sure if you stop for a moment and really look at your life you will see much more good - friends, family, happy experiences, etc. etc.

You did all of that. Good for you. In other words you actually bring more good than "bad" into your life. BUT where is your focus? Constantly on the negative? Well then of course it's going to seem overwhelming. What you think of expands.

So do yourself the favor of concentrating on the positive. Do what you can and let the rest go. Worrying about it does you no good. In fact worry is a form of prayer. Focus on what you want, not on what you don't want. Don't think about the lack of something and ask for it because it's not there. You are just going to continue the whole lack experience. Instead, bring gratitude into play. Be thankful for what you do have so that it will expand.

Remember, positive thoughts are at a higher vibration, therefore they manifest more quickly than dense negative thoughts.

The power is within your mind... Change your thoughts, change your emotions... and you'll change your outcome. Use your imagination and have FUN.

I have much more to share with you on this subject alone but for one blog post I feel like this should help you guys out. You're not alone. If you want to chat sometime about all this, you can contact me through TWITTER. I don't check my Direct Messages, so @We_Inspire will do just fine.

Bless you all, and much Love and Light to you and your families!

Predator and Prey

Recently someone I am close to has been "preyed" upon by an older "predator."

My message to the prey is, never give away your power by allowing yourself to be allured by a predator. They come in many shapes and forms. This is what they do. They know how to confuse you. When you begin to catch on to their games, their aim is to confuse you more. It may be through an offer of some kind... Something that will appeal to you, like a job or even friendship. Don't be fooled by this or their pretense of innocence, as this is part of the trap. After all if there is nothing wrong with what they are doing, why defend it or continue to pursue after being asked to stop?

Responses like "I was just joking or playing," after you confront them are strong indications that they are playing this game.

If you sense anger after their advances have been rejected, this is another sign.

Trust your gut feeling. If you are uncomfortable, it is for a reason. This is your wise intuition speaking to you. So if you don't want to be sneered be sure to speak your truth. Stand up and be very clear about your feelings and set your boundaries. This does not make you a "bad" person. Predators are counting on your feeling so, and this is another form of manipulation through guilt.

If you feel that you need help, call on a friend or loved one for assistance in the matter. If you have no one at all, I offer myself as that friend. You can contact me at MatthewJacobDaniel@gmail.com. My door is always open to you.

NOW if you are the predator, I'd like to talk about your actions and their consequences. No matter how insignificant they may seem TO YOU, be considerate of others' feelings. Misusing your power in the form of control or manipulation is a waste of your potential. You have it in you to be a protector.

I always say the same energy that can destroy with great force has the same potential to create and protect. Choose the higher road. If you feel that you need help, I suggest you begin seeing a professional for assistance. I highly recommend someone who integrates the metaphysical/spiritual realm in his practice, so you can begin not only to heal your life but to heal your spirit.

I lovingly pray for your healing progress. After all, we are all brothers and sisters on this earth. Do not be ashamed of yourself. You are a spiritual being just like all of us are. You are VERY loved. Indeed, you have the power. It is up to you how you choose to use it. Somewhere within, there is a victim inside you.

If you turn your negative experiences around by reframing them as positive ones that taught you a lesson, you can TRULY come into your power now.

Here I am, World

There's a first time for everything. For now I'd like to say I'll be covering a wide range of topics here. These will mostly center around metaphysics, spirituality, reincarnation (the eternal soul), astrology, healing, poetry, music, and creation in general. It is my goal and wish to inspire those of you that come across this blog. I hope you can benefit from my words and experiences.

So are you read to grow with me on this journey we are about to embark upon? Fasten your seat belts because we are going on a ride Aries Style. ;)
