Through the ups and downs of life, it can seem at times, as though the quality of our lives is dependent on the people, situations, and conditions of the world around us. Yet, to become the powerful creator of our lives, we must be willing to see beyond this short-sighted view of ourselves and our lives.

Whether we are aware of it or not, the choice each of us is constantly making is the choice of picking between heaven or hell. The truth is, every moment, each of us decides. There is no outside force that decides. We choose it every moment.

The comedy is that even though we have the choice — usually people pick the experience of hell over heaven.

To see whether you are currently living in heaven or hell, look around your life. On a scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being hell and 10 being heaven, where would you rank your life?

This week, observe your thoughts and words.

How often and about what do you complain?

How often and about what are you disappointed?

At what frequency do you wish things could be different than they are?

How often are others letting you down and not meeting your expectations?

How often are you letting yourself down?

Focusing on complaints, disappointments, should be’s, and unmet expectations creates the illusion of hell.

To have a life a bliss, you must be willing to challenge the assumption that the root of our dissatisfaction is really about the complaints and unmet expectations that dribble out uncontrollably out of your mouth.

Step One: Clean up your thoughts and language.

Catch yourself before that same old complaint indomitably burps out of your mouth. Choose your language carefully.

Before you tell yourself, “I have to wash the dishes,” notice that you really don’t have to. Even if you’re at gunpoint — which I entirely doubt you are — it’s still a choice — to do the dishes or not.

Adjust your language to be both more accurate and empowering. An example would be, “I choose to wash the dishes now rather than later, because I know how great it feels to walk into a clean kitchen.”
Step Two: See the real issue beneath the illusion.

The subject of your complaints and unmet expectations are a facade of the deeper issue that is really the culprit for your life feeling more like struggle and pain than joy and bliss.

The culprit lies inside choosing self-worth over self-hate.

Step Three: Expose underlying beliefs and assumptions.

How you make the choice between heaven or hell — or self-worth and self-hate depends on your assumptions and beliefs of whether you feel worthy, good enough or deserving of happiness.

To take yourself from hell to heaven, you must consistently choose to find inner value and inner worth. To do this, you must be willing to become deeply aware of your Self. You must see what overshadows your feelings of worth, so you can send love, kindness and compassion to those places.
Otherwise, your experience of life will always be painful.

Step Four: Accept that you already live in and deserve heaven.

Much of our socializing has taught us to believe that “life is hard,” and “you have to suffer,” and “you must endure this life” to get the bliss of heaven in your next life.

Challenge these beliefs.

Rather than living this life trying to earn your way to heaven in the next, begin today and every day grounded in the assumption that not only are you are already worthy and deserving of heaven — but you are already there. All you have to do is claim it.

Step Five: Illuminate your worthiness.

if you want to “go to heaven,” it is your journey to illuminate your worthiness of bliss today. The amount of pain and struggle you feel in your life is inversely related to your feelings of worthiness. The more self-love and self-worth you have, the less the pain and struggle you will experience.

Every moment, you are the one who decides heaven or hell. When you decide that you are not worthy of heaven, by default you will experience hell, and thus so will be color of your life.

Step Six: Make self-love your #1 responsibility.

Self-love occurs when you recognize your value and worth. It becomes who you are, when you set your life in alignment with your inner wisdom  the part of you who knows what is best for you.

Until you live according to inner law, you will consistently live in disappointment of yourself. This is the seed of self-hate. Living out of alignment with inner law, you will forever live with the sickening feeling that you aren’t worthy of joy.

This is because you have failed at your most important responsibility: listening, honoring, and loving yourself.

Failing to live up to this most important responsibility manifests the creation of hell.

When you align with self-love, you reclaim your right to feel worthy of all the joy, love and wisdom in the universe.

I invite you to a new perspective of yourself and of life. Whether your life feels like heaven or hell is dependent on how much you love and cherish you.

When you become a master of self-love, you will see all things as loving and as an experience of heaven. You will no longer be stuck in the chains of fear and pain, because you have the one thing your spirit needs most: your love.

When you feel pain and struggle, sift through the rubble of “the story” you are telling yourself for why your situation shouldn’t be, and seek out the part of you that feels unworthy or unloved. Then, look that wounded part of yourself in the eye, and ask them what they need to feel loved. Whatever it is, give it to yourself, and re-align with the transforming powers of self-love.

Each time you make this choice, notice how your perception of yourself and your life changes. Watch as you step from hell into heaven.

Succinctly said, success is harmony. When the result is congruent with the ideal, success has been achieved. When the thought germinates and ripens to produce the consequence desired, victory is accorded.

Success is not happenstancial or accidental. It is intentional, providential congruency. Success comes from the direct application of certain knowledge. Success is the result of an intentional act of creation. In order to consciously create, one must first learn AND then apply the principles of creation. Those principles can be called the true knowledge of how things come into being in the universe.

The seven principles of true knowledge are:

1) Consciousness:

All things originate as a thought form, an imaginaton. (An imaginaton is a thought form, a single distinct unit of consciousness, just as a photon is a single distinct unit of light or an electron is a single distinct unit of negative electro-magnetic vibration.)

Thought is creative. Your thoughts create your reality.

What are you thinking? Who or what is in control of what you are thinking? Are you?

How many of the 60,000 thoughts a day that pass through your mind are purposely chosen? How many are just noise? Or worse, how many of them are distractions from and destructive to the creation of your ideal?

Learning to control your thoughts is the first step in becoming a conscious creator.

What is your prevalent emotional state? How do you feel about your self? What do you feel about how your ideals and thoughts?

Your emotional states and prevalent attitudes are just as critical to success as are your thoughts. In fact, your emotions are the power behind your thoughts. They act as a type of gravity to draw to you the elements necessary to effectuate your ideals and specific thought patterns.

Success lies in owning and controlling your mental and emotional states of being (or aspects of self).

2) Coherence:

Everything is in balance; as within, so without; as above, so below.

The world you see around you is a reflection of the world already existent within you.

The conditions and circumstances of your life are the result of certain causal forces.

The external world is the effect; the internal world of thought and emotion is the cause.

The physical arises from the metaphysical. The temporal arises from the eternal.

Strive to bring coherency to all aspects of self.

Success is a question of balance, of perceiving the relationship between effectual and causal and then acting in accord with that knowledge.

3) Frequency:

Everything is vibration.

The true nature of all things is not in the appearance of things, but, rather, it lies in the frequency, periodicity and amplitude of their vibratory nature.

Every existent thing is because of the coherence of its’ vibratory elements.

Your every thought and every emotion is your personal vibratory output.
These vibrations intersect and interact with other preexisting vibrations in your world. These interactions create interference patterns that produce either harmony or discord.

When they produce harmony, you have success. When they produce discord, you have failure. Success comes from understanding the flow of things.

4) Comprehensiveness:

Everything is duality within unity.

Nothing stands alone or is separate or merely coincidental. That is simply the appearance of things to those who do not perceive the greater reality.

Everything is part of one whole. Everything is relative and all things are meaningful. There is a lesson of value in every thing and every event.

Success comes from seeing, learning and applying the lessons inherent in events and conditions.

5) Harmonics:

Everything flows in waveforms.

There is a flow to congruity in all things. Going with the flow is more efficient.

Harmony creates harmony. Discordant thoughts bring discordant results. Scattered emotions bring scattered reactions. Become proactive. Be intentionally harmonious.

Allow choice rather than chance to govern your thoughts and emotions.

Success comes from the intentional congruity or harmony you bring to bear on the various aspects of your self. Learn how to catch the wave and ride it.

6) Cause and Effect:

Everything happens in accord with natural law.

There is a reason for all things. The universe works a certain way. It is not accidental. It is providential. Creation unfolds according to certain natural laws.

All science and all philosophy is an attempt to describe and find meaning behind these natural laws. Learn how the universe works and then work the same way.

You can best be creative by being in accord with these natural laws.

Success is learning to see the consequences of your thoughts, feelings and actions.

You are not apart from natural law. These same laws that govern the formation of atomic structures and entire galaxies also govern you and your vibratory output of thought, emotion and action.

7) Polarity:

Everything has masculine and feminine aspects, positive and negative polarities.

There are two sides to every story inner and outer, positive and negative, front and back, up and down, masculine and feminine, waves and troughs, dark and light. Without this duality, there would be no distinctness.

Without distinctness, your result would be immaterial. Without distinctness, you would be immaterial.

If you desire material results that are in accord with your ideals, then you must learn to balance polarities.

All material things exist because of the balance between polarities. An atom exists because of the balance between positive (proton) and negative (electron). That is natural law.

The world is your mirror. What you see in that mirror is always your self. Success arises from being able to see both sides of the mirror. That is to say, by being able to see the underlying unity of your apparent duality (or the separation of your self from your world and your results).

Never in the recent past have the debates over the matter of women’s progression in their careers been as big as they are now. Nevertheless, the matter has always been discussed but not with the same intensity as it is today. With an increasing percentage of women in United States workforce (53%) in all professions, different barriers to progress have gone up.

Barriers To Women’s Career Progression

Taking a holistic look at the women’s career path makes clear that while most barriers are external, there some which are also internal.

Historically, male-dominated society has always viewed women as unequal and relegated women to secondary career positions. This is still being reflected in the modern skill-based job market by assigning women more and more to routine and mundane jobs that hardly carry decision-making authority. Even within new Human Resource Management processes, many processes for recruitment, interviews and aptitude tests, are sometimes centered on men rather than women.

While entry-level jobs such as teaching, healthcare and accounting are open to everyone, the dominant male population, which already occupies these jobs, leaves less room for women to enter and make a mark. Of late, the balance may be found to be shifting in favor of women, but the very nature of jobs in this category is such that women’s upward mobility is far from being significant because of the fundamental and apparent lack of headroom (the glass ceiling). Women intrinsically think themselves to be at an advantage in typical jobs, which is evident from the statistics available: 53% women as opposed to 47% men. This is what can be called a socio-gender-related problem. It is gender-related because men have an advantage over women by in the types of jobs that require a lot of travel, or those which are physical in nature.

Women of substance have excelled in their independent careers. One doesn’t need to look too far for names, as they are so dominant in their professions that their names could inspire those who want to tread their career paths. Why this can’t be replicated in private industry? HRM practitioners complain that there is just not enough talent for the top jobs. Even organic or preferential promotions to the top jobs are almost always based on the natural progression principle.

Other areas of concern, such as maternity leave, are also hindering women’s progression, although you would be hard-pressed to find an executive who would speak about this openly. Privately, many male executives cite women’s lack of demonstrated willingness and courage to take bold steps as decision-makers and lack of risk-taking behavior as some of the most major psychological barriers.

In order to remove some of the physical and psychological barriers to women’s career progression in private industry, a major attitudinal shift has to be made. Change will not come instantly, but over time, as society becomes more comfortable with women’s increasing role in the business world.

Tucson Arizona is one of hot spots for Illegal Alien civil unrest and although mostly peaceful it is going to be one of the major spots in an upcoming protest march. This issue recently came up in an online think tank and one member from Tucson state;

“Here in Tucson the High school students are chanting; “Si Se Puede” and waving Che Guevarra flags really have no idea what they are talking about. Every student we’ve talked to is clueless as to what is going on and they make themselves look like a bunch of uneducated delinquent kids who just want to get out of class.”

In Maryland same thing the school has given them extra credit for participating in public demonstrations, totally sick, unbelievable really. Civil Disobedience is one thing, but government (school) sponsored is another thing. I talked with an ESL teacher at a coffee shop there in Tucson and he told me of these issues as well. Also with the Minute Men Vigilante Forces on the Border, a problem in Tucson could easily come to a head and we should not allow the illegal immigration issue to turn into a race issue, but rather keep the issue and the point of the argument between “illegal” immigration and what to do about the problem.

Namely; Biometric ID Cards, streamlined legal immigration system, sponsor programs, work programs and securing the borders. I hope you will all listen to reason on all sides of this issue and consider viable solutions to this Out of Control illegal immigration problem in the United States, Arizona and especially cities like Tucson which are being over run with illegal alien invaders. Consider all this in 2006.
