A Seemingly Rude and Yet Positive Awakening (Interpreting a Dream for Embracing Life)

Posted on by

I found myself awakening from the strangest dream. It all took place in a dark setting even though it was daytime.  It was sort of like in certain movies when it seems like the theme is dark and the sun rarely shines.  In such a setting, even when the sun does shine, it seems to only peer through the darkness. This is how it felt in my dream, quite dark.

In the dream a very good friend of mine was working for my business and he also had a crew to help with his work.  He and his crew were stranded on the road, and could not get to the next job. Not only was he trying to get to the next job, but he was trying to get to my wife (The beautiful lady I was with in this strange dark world) He was very much interested in her sexually and about to make his move.  The two of us, my dream wife and I, were having some marital problems at the time and my friend in this realm knew this.  And yet, there he was pursuing her despite our friendship, and in despite of his own marriage. It was surprising, and felt like a big betayal.

I soon felt myself awakening, not understanding why I was having this strange dream.  I just kept laying on the bed asking why I would have such a dream, when I could have had any other dream.  Perhaps one much more positive is what I would have expected.  Then I remembered talking to my son about the movie Ground Hog Day, and how we must repeat situations until we get our lesson.  This begged the question. What was the lesson in this dream?

Then right away, my page for the day came to mind.  It was the very page I had read the day before in my book 30 Days of Metaphysics, Miracles and Enlightenment in Your LIfe.  This was the second book I wrote quite some years ago.  It is a combination of sayings and parables I learned from my teacher, and my explanations of them. Everyday I look at a page and make that my message. So do many other people who I know.  It’s the way the book was designed to be read and experienced. And as I said, the dream reminded me of my page I had read just the day before the unpleasant dream. Oh yeah, the page I got was titled “When Sexual Energy Is Aroused, It Has The Power Of 21 Buffalos.”

As I remembered my page I had an aha moment, where I laughed to myself as I thought about how my teacher would at times ask, “Have you ever tried to stop 21 buffalos?” I realized that in the dream this energy had definitely been aroused, atleast in my friend’s case for sure.  In the book it also mentions how we must be careful of the situations we place ourselves and our family members in.  As I thought this, I realized something interesting.  I was no longer upset by the dream.  I was enjoying figuring out the message.  I felt like the world was magical once again.  I now understood my friend in the dream, and I realized how in my dream I was not careful of the situations I placed my “dream wife” and “dream friend” in at the time. I also realized that in my world I must pay attention to such things more carefully, and never forget that we are all human. I could see it all so clealy.

At this point I felt honored that the Universe was talking to me through my dream.  I felt connected on account of my page showing up in my dream to give me a message.  I was reminded of how the lessons in my book seem to magically show up in the reader’s world. Many times people have told me this was the case in their lives when reading and applying their page in the book. And once again I knew I had to share the book and the message of how spiritually connected we all are with more people.

I also remembered what I shared with my son the evening before. When Phil in the movie Groundhog Day decided to lean into the lesson, his life became grand.  He magically became unstuck and was able to move on to the next wonderful day on account of really loving where he was and getting into the present adventure. This was the same thing I was doing while analising my dream. While thinking about all of this I was reminded that this is what life is all about, enjoying the here and now, looking for and getting the lesson, and becoming who the Universe wants us bo be.  I found myself looking forward to the next wonderful lesson in my life, knowing I am magically connected to it.

Story about Dr. Thind’s Two Second Meditation (The Next 30 Days)

Posted on by

My teacher, Mr. Ambrister, would often speak on how his teacher, Dr. Thind, would be giving a talk in front of an auditorium of people.  After sometime if you were really paying attention you could see that he was getting just a little tired.  Then great meditation master would suddenly look off to the side for a second or two and be recharged with incredible energy and a magnificent light in his eyes totally recharged and continue his talk.

One day when Mr. Ambrister and I were having a conversation, after years of telling me  the story many times, Mr. Ambrister shared with me that when Dr. Thind looked off for that quick second during his talk, that he actually went into a quick meditation and came back out.

The story always sounded like folklore or an unattainable state, until one day he suggested I did the same thing in an upcoming talk I had to give. I did try it when doing a talk for the Theosophical Society. To my surprise it worked! Just before giving my talk I took myself to a higher state, right before walking on stage, with this quick meditation just like my teacher suggested. I also did the same thing during my talk.  Afterwards, over the years I would use this method and slip into my higher state in seconds to come back charged, especially in challenging situations when I felt like I was in over my head. The more we meditate the more we are able to do such things.

How Do You Know If Your Sign Or Message Comes From A Higher Place? (Today’s Positive Question)

Posted on by

 

 

Last week Charles asked, “How do you know when the message is from God and The Universe and not just from your own mind?”

I Thought this was a great question because first, it implies that we can be so connected with God and our higher self that we can get information from on high.  And second, because it suggests that there is a difference between our normal everyday thoughts, experiences, and information, and the spiritual information that is always correct.

I gave an example of how when I had my bookstore I needed more customers and had tried many things to acheive what I wanted.  I tried radio ads, popular publications and other sources.  I tried a light-up sign in the window.  I was not allowed to put a sign on the building.

I put the question to God and The Universe asking “What do I do to get more people coming in?” I meditated for a long period hoping for an answer.  The next day as I entered my printer Roy’s print shop he said “you know what Craig? ” As soon as he spoke, I got a chill and said to myself “Here comes my answer.”

Then he said “When I had my shop on Northwestern Highway I had all kinds of walk in traffic because of my sign. You could see it from many angles and far away. Now I don’t get the walk in traffic because I sit far back off 12 mile and people don’t know I am here.  So I am going to get me an old van and put it out by the road.  I don’t even care if it runs. I am going to paint a sign on it and use it as a billboard for my store.  I did it in Florida and it worked well.”  I could not believe it.  I had a van that barely ran I was about to get rid of. This was my answer. To put a sign on it and keep it by the road of my store.  Roy never this did this, but I did.

I paid a guy to airbrush the most beautiful sign. And guess what? Nobody came.  I got no new traffic.  But I knew this was my sign because of how strangely the information came to me and the feeling I got before Roy even spoke to me. So I drove up and down Southfield Road where my store was and I realized the sign I paid for was too pretty and not bold enough to see from a distance.  That evening I painted the top half of the van white and placed big black letters on it from front to back with the name of the store on it, which I shortened in order to make the letters bigger.  The very next day people started coming in saying “I saw your sign.  I did not even know you were here.”  Traffic increased dramatically.

When we get information from on high, we may get a strong unusual feeling or sensation to tell us we are on track like I got when I walked in Roy’s shop. Things may line up perfectly to tell us that we are on track, like when I heard Roy’s story telling me what to do one day after asking for help. The answer can come from anywhere or anyone.  We just have to be open. Often it helps to step up our meditaton and positive or spiritual works to help us catch the message. And if we are not sure of our answer or sign, we can ask for another.

A Wonderful Ashram On The Inner Planes (Today’s Poetry)

Posted on by

I have a wonderful Ashram on the inner planes

t sits on a hill and is shined on by the sun.

It stretches many miles like an ocean filled with wonderful souls.

It is where I live, where I share, where I grow in the light.

It is a home to many; in a region I can’t describe.

I have seen it in dream and travels within.

I have been told it is my ministry, I must take wherever I go.

Sometimes I forget just how great it is.

When I think of it I am reminded all is good right now.

When I am there, I see my teacher and all I have been taught.

When away I must remember I have so much to share.

We are light, we are one, we are peace we are love.

It’s time for a new year.

It’s time for a new start.

It’s time for a new me.

Its time for a new you.

Time to go where we belong.

Time to truly sing our song.

Time to be and live strong.

Our time has been waiting all along.

Time to go within.

Time to rebegin.

Time to see what’s in,

The stars for us again.

Time for us to be.

Time for us to see.

A perfect path that’s laid out.

To be lived by you and me.

And What Do I Do With The Rest Of My Life?(Today’s Poetry)

Posted on by

And what do I do with the rest of my life?

Spread peace and love everywhere I go.

Live the life of a positive guru.

Stay connected and it will be real.

Some say you can’t meditate all day long.

I say it is needed for the new journey.

It can be done I’ve seen it before.

Even to attempt brings brand new meaning.

What do I do with the rest of my life?

Stay in the flower garden where everything is real.

The golden age I’ve seen it before.

I want it back so I dive in the ocean.

As I dive in I am who I am.

My time with the father a magical journey.

I am so blessed to have lived this life.

I must live it again in the ways of the mystics.

Time for the New Era of No Holding Back(From Craig’s Journal)

Posted on by

This morning I woke up thinking about the Coronavirus and life, and how the world is so uncertain and changing. I also thought about when my father asked me “What have you learned from this?” He was speaking in turns of this virus hitting the world by storm. I spoke about money mangagement and making sure there is always more than enough. I talked about changes in my business. I thought about sharing more love to the people in my world. I thought about doing things that I am now forced to do. Now I know that next time when the ideas come, to move on them early. Some of these changes I am making I thought of doing years ago. I’m sure it would have made life easier back then if I acted, and I would be on a different level now. Don’t get me wrong, I love my life and my accomplishments. Life has truly been wonderful thus far. But I do have some aspirations that I would love to move into. As I was thinking about all of this, it really hit me. I absolutely have to be the person I want to be in my heart of hearts unapologetically.

I decided to open a book, any book, and if the page was talking about doing this, then that is what I would do. I would no longer hold back in life, especially when it comes to teaching and sharing spirituality, metaphysics and meditatation. I was excited at the idea of truly becoming free, free to share without the fear of taking things too far for those who may not be approve of what I have to say.

The page I opened to was in a book that I had never read. It was leftover from when I used to own my spiritual bookstore. It was one of many. It was a book on Tarot. The funny thing is, I don’t even get into tarot cards, but I said to myself “my answer will be on the page I open up to.”

It spoke about an old card called The Angel, or The Last Judgement. It represented an angel, or messenger, blowing a trumpet, and attached was a flag bearing a symbol of the aeon of the age of Osiris. It also spoke about the destruction of an old world and the begining of a new. This angel was the messenger who brought news of the new aeon, or era to earth. The paragraph ended talking about the importace of revealing.

As I read, it was like an out of body experience. And I could barely feel my body. This was my confirmation! How much more clear can you get than that? Unapologetically blowing a trumpet with the news, revealing. I thought to myself. This is what I was to do. Blow the trumpet loud! What are the odds I would open up a book that was talking about this? I decided there will be no more holding back. I will share. I will talk about dream interpretations, visions, meditations, and lessons, no longer wondering if it is too much. I will be me 100%. I will share through writings, poems, video, song, by what ever way it hits me at the time and let the chips fall where the may. Any way, today I share this by way of journaling so I can remember not to hold back on my expression.

Peace and Blessings

When I Step Into The Place Filled With Ojas (Spiritual Substance)

Posted on by

When I step into the place filled with ojas,

It seems I’ve been meditating all day long.

When I’m like this I can do no wrong.

What’s the next move? Does it even matter?

To be in this state is a wonderful thing.

When I look back I see I was guided.

I do what I feel in the midst of the moment.

I feel so free as I take each step.

There is no right there is no wrong.

As the Universe guides me to the most wonderful places.

I trust my moves are inspired by onenesss.

Those who are watching will say they are perfect.

When You Are On The Beam

Posted on by

There is something inside that knows when you are on the beam.

When you make it there you are truly in the zone.

Being on the beam is like a stroll through Heaven.

You can barely feel your body, it’s a beautiful thing!

There is something inside that knows when you are off the beam.

When you see chaos you have surely stepped off.

And being off the beam can be like everyday life.

Feeling free and having miracles are few and far between.

There is something inside that knows when you are on the beam.

When you get there its a true state of oneness.

Being on the beam is like walking on clouds.

Things magically work out when you meditate and live your bliss!
