I think for those who have tasted the higher realms or had any kind of Kundalini type experience with pure spiritual energy understands that it forever changes you and alters your perception of life.

Everything in this realm changes and is altered. There are days when I have this burning in my soul to move out of this existence, but then I realize that everything I’m going through in the here and now is in a sense enhancing my experience in the next world and I can find contentment in that. There is a difference in ‘knowing about chocolate’ and actually eating it. Namaste!

Now, the first time I heard it, it didn’t resonate with me until recently –after Andrea’s article to be exact! (again the Universe in action) This actually makes major sense to me. Once you align the energy by either “reaching for better feeling thoughts” or just plain old “being” then taking action becomes much easier. In fact, Abraham stated how this was using the “leverage” of creative energy. On a deeper level, Abraham advised that if you have something that you have to do right away and may not have the time to line up the energy, then it would be prudent to “do some pre-paving by talking yourself into a better feeling place moments before you do it or as you even begin the task!”

Another kicker was the statement right or wrong of a decision is not the question because you can only make a decision based on where you are vibrating! The choices made available to you tend to change as you vibrate differently or “as you make your way up the emotional scale”. This process is what has been described by many others as making the best possible decision based on what you knew at the time.

I hope this helps.

What I still work on for myself is finding time to slow down enough to listen for spirit guidance before jumping into the lake of action. When I do that, the flow happens.

I’m going to chew on this one. I do think the ego gets a bad rap unnecessarily that further makes the waters of understanding murkier.

At times in the past I used to be a ceiling surfer we used to call such folks bliss-ninnies. Now I’m more aligned with what Akemi said. More often than not it’s my spiritual practice that serves as a catalyst for action.

And me, a Do-er (and also a person who loves to write long comments), is satisfied with just smiling right now :0)

The reason I missed you yesterday was I spent the whole day in a kind of shift. Basically, I woke up and decided to move, drove around in the morning, applied and accepted to a new apartment, which is a lot nicer than the one I live in now. Yeah, all in a day.

I was taking actions, definitely, but it almost felt scripted. I didn’t need to check out multiple options — the beautiful living space that’s much better than I thought I wanted for myself was waiting for me.

To answer your questions regarding taking action: I think it depends. I know tons of people with less spiritual development who are petrified to take any significant actions. I would think, at least in theory, taking actions becomes easier with spiritual growth because we have less fear.

Luv & Light,

Mostly, I stick to ‘if at peace in doing nothing, continue. If not, do something, even if it is imperfect. But don’t waste energy on the sensation of needing to do something, but not doing so.”

..guess that was my something to do….I am at peace now….
blessings to you and all you hold dear,

I suppose spiritual development has made taking action harder for me especially I used to be soooo action-oriented. Even when taking action meant going against the flow, I could do it, in fact I was especially proud of how I could take action while going against the flow!

It’s been a matter of balance for me though and cultivating the relationship with myself so that I know when to do and when to be, a fine art indeed.

Keena – I think the teachings of Abraham are a matter of interpretation because I do not hear their message as anti-action rather one of simply flowing wit the stream of life. Sometimes that flow will involve action, sometimes not.

In love, light and abundance x x x

And this feeling seems to increase day by day. The agonizing slowness of the third dimension sometimes gets me down.

Right now I am reading some books by Jerry and Esther Hicks. They have some wonderful points about creating from a positive place – applicable even if you don’t agree with their perspective on action.

Do you think their point of view is too 4D to be practical in the 3D realm…?
