We have all heard that the way we perceive our world will determine our experiences, but what does that actually mean? Some experiences are easily understood, but what about the car accident, or the flu, or the serious illness that some of us encounter? Without a doubt, some lessons are ones we agreed to have the possibility and the probability of learning in this lifetime, however, when the lesson is remembered, the problem goes away. Survivors of cancer will tell you that when they stopped fighting with their cancer, and made peace with their bodies, they suddenly found themselves in remission. There are no accidents and no co-incidences, just lessons and lessons re-membered.

Now, before I get mail, there are experiences such as child abuse that are part of a choice made before coming to this earth school. In this case, it becomes what did you do with the lesson you came to learn ~ did you pass on the abuse, or did you reach out to others with compassion?

So, how about creating your reality? Most of us create from an unconscious space. We live on automatic pilot - wake up, smell the coffee, drink the coffee, drive to work, and so on. We react to situations in the same way. Someone cuts us off when we are driving; how many of us react automatically, in anger? How many times do we actually and consciously thank the interloper and wish him God-speed and a good day?

In order to manifest your heart's desires, there are a few simple guidelines. First, you must be conscious of all that you are doing. I am a Healer, and the number of times I am told that someone's neck is killing them, or their leg is killing them, or their wrist is killing them… is always a surprise to me. I choose to answer them in jest: that if their neck was actually killing them, I am sure that it would have succeeded by now, and they would be dead. This may seem amusing, and it is meant to be, however, we are sounded into existence, so exactly what is being created by the words that you speak?

Remember: pay attention to your thoughts, words and beliefs, for how you see your universe is how you create your world ~ whether you do it consciously or unconsciously. If you believe that the world is a dangerous place, and filled with trials by fire, you will indeed find a dangerous world that is filled with any and all trials you care to imagine. You are a grand magnetic Be-ing, and you draw unto you that which you believe.

Separation is an illusion. Only here on the planet of free will, is there a rule where opposites attract. Only here do we have light and dark, up and down, left and right, good and evil. Beyond the Veil, there is only the One, unity, love, peace, & joy. The truth of the uni-verse is that like attracts like, & water seeks its own level. Take a look around your personal environment. Is your life as you would wish it to be? If not, take a look at how you speak, think and believe. You may find a clue or two there.

The next guideline I offer is to learn the correct meaning of the words you speak. Especially words like want. This word is over-used and incorrectly used all the time. Want means lack. It does not mean desire, so if you desire something, say what you mean, for the universe is a literal place and it has but one response to all your requests, ~ And so it is! ~ So, are you asking for your heart's desire, or are you reinforcing lack in your life?

How does this tie in with Transition? At this time, many, many of us search for a beloved one to share our lives with. We are in a different space than most of the people we meet daily, for we have begun the Awakening process in earnest. We choose not to turn back to the time when we were less aware, and in fact, we could not do so even if we chose. We are a small group at this point, so how do we find each other? Is there a Beloved One searching for you? What do you believe about this situation? Do you feel a lack of love in your life? Do you feel there is little or no hope of connecting with your Soul Mate?

If you believe there is a lack of love in your life, then choose again. Know that there is not only one soul mate for you, know that we are all soul mates, and choose to fill the void of love-lack with ~ love. It is much easier than, you think. There is a world of people out there, lost alone, hungry, ill, & dying. There are shelters that would praise your name with love and honour should you reach out and touch. There are home bound people who require assistance with shopping, doctors appointments, food delivery, mothers with more than one baby who would just love an hour or two for a bath. Should you prefer, there are animal shelters all across your country and mine, who would love you as much as our furry friends do, if you would just reach out and offer your help. How much love can you hold? How much love do you desire? What are you waiting for?

Remember, you are magnetic, and you draw unto you that which you believe ~ imagine how much faster you draw it unto you when you know you are loved, and your world is filled with that love. How can your soul mate not magically appear ?

So, are you the one who wakes up in the morning and exclaims "Good Morning, Lord" or do you cry "Good Lord, Morning". I guess its all in how you see it ;o)
