Every year I believe that the new year will be the best one yet. How can it not be, if my future in truth lies in the hands of God, and that I play just as an important role in co-creating it! New opportunities, new growth, new insights, new learning.....all part of the cycle of life just makes every new year or every new day for that matter interesting.
Every day, I write down one new thing I have learned about myself....this means that in the new year, I have 365 new things to explore within. I know that in understanding myself, I have a greater ability to understand others and this is something of great value that one one else can impart to me.
Then what lies beyond the understanding? I believe, action. So if I understand why I have a certain flaw or a certain good quality, then what can I do about it? So in the new year, I also have 365 new action plans to look forward to.
I may not make new year resolutions but the simple daily contemplations make each new year more exciting and inspiring.
2008 will be the best year ever! Happy New Year!

Personal Achievement
I am thrilled to have completed the 42.195km! I was running at a good pace and feeling strong and was all geared up to finish the race in 4 hours 35mins. BUT around the half way mark, muscle cramps made it impossible to run effectively. I had to walk and run in intervals as the cramps came back on every now and then.
With all the training I got from spiritual psychology, the most important thing I have learned is not to be attached to results. And this is exactly what provided me with the good headspace despite the pain and cramps. Even though I didn't complete the race in the time I was trained for, I am equally thrilled to have even completed the race in 5 hours 35mins!
Other runners who did the 10km and 21km asked me if I would discourage them from doing the full marathon, my answer is no. It is something that every runner should try once in their lives for it provides more of a psychological training than a physical one.
With all the months of physical training, it all comes down to race day. And there are many things that are beyond our control on the day itself. So one's mind must be prepared for anything really.
Ultimately, this is a race to compete with self. I am glad I did it!

Why are human beings stuck in inertia?
The other day I read that climate change scientists will have a report out in Nov that will show that greenhouse gases have already reached a dangerous level. I don't think we should wait for a formal report in order to do anything for our planet and for our future generations. We see in newspaper reports daily that climate change is affecting so many aspects of life in so many countries - Greenland now is hot enough to grow brocoli, the permafrost in Russia is melting etc
Greenland and Russia are really not too far away from us in Asia if we realise that we are experiencing the effects of Global warming too. Sea water level is rising and we are experiencing hotter days.
Mass consciousness is steep in inertia - most people think that there's little they can do, or that what they do will not make a difference. The negative mindset and inertia are so deeply ingrained. Perhaps the issue of global warming is just too far removed when people have trouble putting food on the table.
What about those who are a little bit more comfortable in life - who in truth are contributing most to global warming. Bad habits and addictions to materialism, excessive consumption of food, alcohol, buying for the sake of buying, cigarettes, negative thinking/feelings and so on are just putting people in a hypnotic state of existence.
It is so true what Dr Stone wrote: "Most of my work is not hypnotizing people, but rather, dehypnotizing them. A great many people walk around in a kind of hypnotic state already."
Hypnosis and self hypnosis are incredibly misunderstood in our society. Hypnosis to the ordinary person has a very negative stigma, caused by a misuse of the tool by the stage hypnotists and misinformation perpetuated by the media.
Hypnosis is actually a very common incident which occurs to each of us throughout our day. As I mentioned previously, every time you are a victim or are on automatic pilot you are in hypnosis. Every time you let the subconscious mind run you, you are in hypnosis. Every time another person’s thoughts or feelings affect you, you are in a subtle state of hypnosis.
When you go to sleep at night you go through stages of hypnosis. When you read a book, watch television or drive your car, you go into hypnosis. A person who is a victim instead of a master of his life lives most of his life in hypnosis."
I personally experience this to be true, for I used to live a life of hypnosis too in excessive amounts of alcohol and cigarettes and other stuff! And I have learned that when I move myself out of the influential wave of mass thinking/feeling/actions/speech, I can move out of inertia. Becoming more a master than a victim of life.
This includes seeing life from a bigger picture, than just satisfying cravings, habits, addictions, or being stuck in negative thinking, feelings, actions and speech. I believe that every single person on earth has the power to manifest change. Change that will be beneficial for self, the community, country and ultimately the entire planet.
So why wait? It is time to get out of mass hypnosis and inertia and be the cause and not the effect!

In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity - Albert Einstein
Last week i was down with the stomach flu, and consequently was too tired and weak to do any work. On that same day, these words from my "Words of Inspiration" mailer which I have auto programmed weeks beforehand appeared in my inbox: "In the middle of every difficulty lies opportunity - Albert Einstein" What great timing I thought!
Though I spent a lot of time inspecting the sewage system, I also had lots of opportunities for bed rest. And sleep I did, something I don't do a lot of.
I am now almost at 100% and feel really grateful for the unplanned longer than usual weekend break. Opportunities abound!

Protection From Negative Energies
I often receive requests for help on how to protect self from negative energies. This is a very common phenomena amongst spiritual practitioners. Often even after prayers and a healing/clearing the person is still plagued by negative energies, psychic attacks, implants, astral energies/entities. Why?
Not many people realise that there is such a thing as "psychological immune system". This is a concept that is introduced by Dr Joshua Stone in his book SOUL PSYCHOLOGY. In this book, the chapters: The Development Of Personal Power and Psychic Self Defense explore the theme of strengthening one's psychological immune system.
Essentially, the lesson that all of us must learn is to be the Creator & Master of our reality, through mastery of our thoughts. And this is not just conscious thoughts but our subconscious thoughts as well. Consciously, no one will ever asked to be attacked, however, our subconscious mind is filled with much negative ego programmings, fear based programmings, faulty programmings, illusions, blind spots, limited lens seeing, and so on (from mass consciousness, from the media, from cultures/traditions, from our upbringing etc) that the negativity within our subconscious minds magnetizes negative energies to ourselves. The laws of the universe is such that, you will attract that which you have! So, how does one work on repelling negative energies? Firstly to work on owning one's personal power and secondly to reprogram our subconscious mind with Spiritual/God/Christ/Buddha/Krishna/Allah consciousness every day of our lives. Thirdly, to practice, practice, practice!
You will find that the more 'gifted' one is, in terms of spiritual gifts like ability to channel, clairvoyance, psychic attunement etc, the more vulnerable one is if one has not learned to own their personal power and to master their subconscious mind. These 'gifts' in turn can sabotage the efforts of even the most sincere spiritual practitioners by opening them up to psychic attacks from negative energies, negative forces, astral energies/entities, implants, and even other people's negative energies.
So if one would like protection from negative energies, what is important is to learn to own one's personal power, to master one's subconscious mind, clear one's energy system/chakra/aura/physical body daily. These are just a few things to start with.

As part of my training for the marathon, I did an extra long run by the beach on Saturday with a group of ladies. It is the same location where the military boys and men train too. I noticed that the negative ego is just so competitive even in training. The boys and men will not allow a lady to run side by side at the same pace, they will always try to edge forward just to stay ahead. We see this happening in life all the time, don't we? At the work place, in school, with family and even in spiritual circles. The negative ego flip flops us from superiority to inferiority complexes causing us undue stress and giving our power completely away so that we are ahead of other people simply out of vanity and the desire to win.
I remember one of Joshua's chapters where he talked about how the spiritual path is like a marathon run and I totally agree. One must maintain consistency in one's pace and not burn out too quickly, one is also not competing with others, but with self! To make improvements every step of the way and asking for help is part and parcel of the whole process.
In my last 2km, I was feeling the effects of the run and I asked for 1st ray infusion for my mind, muscles and might! I was immediately uplifted and managed to complete the run in good time. God, spirit and the masters never fail :-)
Once again the mantra, "God, spirit, the masters, my physical body and the power of subconscious mind is an unbeatable team!" has done it again :-)

Spiritual Idealism
There are many things in life i feel very passionate about. There are also many things connected to my spiritual growth that I am especially devoted to in terms of reaching the highest ideal. This morning, when I was on the teleconference call with the other I AM U branch leaders and we were talking about the 6th ray and what it means to have spiritual idealism, it made me realise that I have many spiritual ideals that I aim to bring into perfection and most importantly to demonstrate and ground them.
One of these things that I am an advocate of is maintaining clear boundaries. To me, practicing clear boundaries with others on the physical, emotional, psychological, psychic, spiritual levels are about respect, honour and unconditional love/service. I hold this as one of my strengths that allow me to do my work effectively and I must say that I learned a lot about involved detachment and clear boundaries from Kuan Yin. She is the Master of Compassion but she is so crystal clear on where she stands as a teacher, healer and Bodhisattva. I feel her energy and strength whenever I feel challenged in this area of my development....and she never fails to give me a wake up call should I falter! A million thanks to Kuan Yin :-)
Anyway, what I want to share is that it is so important for spiritual practitioners to have spiritual ideals. Spiritual ideals give us a sense of focus, gives us a sense of becoming the best that we can become, it also allows us to dream the impossible dream! The 6th ray also teaches us that spiritual idealism must be grounded as practical service on earth.....
Let's aspire to bring Heaven down to Earth in a real way.

Testimonial
Recently I read a TESTIMONIAL from someone who feel such a close affinity with the work of the I AM U and to Dr Stone. It really touched my soul as this is how I personally feel too about Joshua and the work of the I AM U. It makes my heart sing to know that there are others who share the same level of devotion and passion. It just makes the work even more exciting.

Dream the impossible dream..
Someone sent this to me, i think it is so inspiring when people muster enough courage to live their dreams. It is interesting how other people around were at first quite skeptical, but he just blew their minds. I was blown away by his power!

The negative ego matrix
My 22 month old daughter has been displaying signs that indeed one does not have to be exposed to negativity through others or the media in order to operate from negativity! She is at the phase where she is very willful and will pinch and hit whenever she doesn't get her way. Where did she get these influences from?
The negative ego matrix is indeed ever present in mass consciousness. And my daughter is a victim of it. For as long as she doesn't know how to own her personal power, and not be victimised by her subconscious mind and her emotional body, she will be pulled and pushed by the negative ego matrix to do its little will. I know this is a challenge for all parents of small children.
Because my daughter does not have a capacity to own her personal power, we as her parents have to do it for her. So, guess what the little one was surprised by when she hit or pinched - She got a minute time out! She got to stand next to our statue of Kuan Yin for one minute. Reasoning with a 1-2 year old obviously does not work, so 'time out' seems like a reasonable cause of action for now. I was quite surprised she understood the concept of time out and that she knew immediately that, that scratch she gave mummy is totally unacceptable and inappropriate. She is slowly beginning to get out of the habit of hitting, pinching, scratching, everytime she raises her little arm to strike, she realises that it is inappropriate behaviour and immediately softens and instead gently touches my arm.
One up for Christ/Buddhic/Spiritual/God consciousness!

Break?
Yesterday I resumed my training for the marathon after a break of about a month because of the move and travelling. It was a good 47 min run, I felt good during the run, with a good pace etc. Today, I am feeling the after effects - my whole body is aching!
Clearing the negative ego is very much the same way. While we may be tempted to take a break from developing/refining our consciousness once in a while, the negative ego doesn't take a break from acting up! If we take a break from spiritual vigilance and allow the negative ego to take a stronghold over our consciousness, we may find ourselves struggling to get back into doing our 'homework'. Daily work is so important, together with vigilance over how our consciousness is operating from moment to moment. Human beings can function day to day just by using their subconscious mind from grocery shopping, to eating, and even working, without ever being conscious or awake, but what is the meaning of life if we do just that?
I am an advocate for daily work on developing and refining one's consciousness. To me, this is the best investment one can give self. I am glad for this gift from God!
Today with my body aching, I am thinking - no regrets for taking a break from training. I am not going to allow the negative ego to beat me up. I know I will come back stronger and better. With the power of God, spirit, the masters, the power of my subconscious mind, physical body and personal power, I am stronger and better daily! This is the mantra that kept me going :-)
