One day I was telling my teacher about several dreamlike meditations I had back to back. In each one I was a different person living in different a country. In one experience I was teaching meditation at a college. In another I owned a bookstore in an Asian nation. In another, I was living in a mideastern region near the water in a fabulous home. All of these lives I was living seemed to be in today’s times and felt quite real. I asked him what was his take on all of this? His answer was “Sonny you are him whom you seek. Do you get it?” My reply was “but Mr. Ambrister, I am seeking God” He replied. “Yes now you get it.”
God, The Universe, The Eternal, is everywhere appearing in everyone and everything. The more we meditate and move into the oneness, the more we find and have experiences telling us we are not limited to this one expression that we know ourselves as.
The Universe is designed in a such a way that we are constantly being inspired, urged or pushed to new life and higher ways of being and expression. These promptings can show up in our lives in many ways. It can be in the form of dreams, ideas, situations, and challenges or problems. But the idea is always the same, to move us to the new life the higher ground and understanding. If we can see or feel the new life and make the changes, life once again becomes incredible, with wonderful new situations, and our connection feels miraculous.
When the process of the inspiring and prompting begins to occur, the question at hand is, Are we going to be open to the new even more wonderful life now, and make the needed changes while it may look far off and vague or are we going to have to be pushed more?
Peace and Blessings

This morning my ten year old son, Jordan, began to ask me a series of questions. He started by asking what year my sister was born. I answered him not having any idea where this was all going. Then he calculated and stated how old she was when her son, Jordan’s cousin Mav was born. They are only 6 months apart and Mav is not only Jordan’s cousin but also his best buddy. The two are always asking about each other and wanting to know when they get to be together again.
Next Jordan began to talk about how old I was when he was born. He reminded me that I was 41 at the time. He then said “That had to be a miracle.” I thought about it, and asked “Are you saying that it is a miracle because of how many events had to line up, and how many things had to happen for you to both be the same age in the same family, and be able to be so close?” He said yes. I told him “what you are looking at is the harmony of God and The Universe. And you are right. When you see how many things have to happen in order for you to be blessed by a situation, it is a miracle.”

I decided to start choosing a positive word for the month. The idea is to keep this word as my focus as I go about my days and then just be open and see what develops. The word that came to me for this month is compassion. I have to tell you that my experiences with compassion thus far during this month have truly been amazing. Just having the thought of being more compassionate has challenged me to exercise being this way in situations where I might not have before, especially when dealing with people who are bringing challenging behavior. Somehow just having the word in the back of my mind as my part of my spiritual work out, has caused me to put myself in other peoples shoes, even when they may be mildly attacking me. When I do this I find that I am at more peace with them and the whole world. I can see the other party much more clearly than I would have otherwise.
Now here is the clincher. Just the other day I wondered if I should share this word of the month on my blog each month or not. I began to even wonder “is it really as powerful as it seems to be, or is it my imagination?” Later in the day I was going to see the Peanuts movie again. It was not by choice. My wife wanted to see it with our son Jordan. Jordan and I had already seen the movie and I fell asleep on much of it, and was not really too impressed. But before going this time, my friends teasing me said “Go and enjoy it. Look for something spiritual in it. Ha ha ha ” Even as we joked, I was reminded that this is my way and what I am known for doing. So I replied “yea that’s what I am going to do, look for the spiritual” When I saw the movie again I was amazed. It was really good, quite spiritual with all kinds of insights. And at the very end of the movie, at the culmination point, when Charlie asks. what was it that made,the new girl, his love interest, choose him. She said “It was your compassion.” She went on to give other reasons connected to it also, but at this moment all I could hear was the inner sound, Aum vibration, roaring, as I sat there barely feeling my body, saying to myself “wow the word of the month, compassion. I have to share it.”
As you go through the rest of your month I invite you to invite the word, compassion, more into your focus and life as you move about your days. If you have any stories or insights to share, please feel free to do so in the comments section of this post. Peace and Blessings.

I had a dream last night about a friend of mine who expressed anger and resentment towards me some time ago. We have not talked since. In the dream the friend was trying to call me but could not get through. So he tried calling my wife, trying to reach me and I got very upset. Then I woke up.
When I awakened I could not believe that I had this dream, and reacted in this way in the dream. I reacted just like he did in this waking dream, with anger and resentment. I had another dream the same night where I was in a fearful situation. When I awakened from this dream, once again I was surprised. I was surprised because my dreams are not usually of this nature.
Upon reflection, these dreams told me that I am still holding on to some things in my world that I need to let go of. It also told me that I am in some way focusing on things that I don’t want to occur and now having them show up in my dreams. So for 2016, I choose to let go of fears, anger and resentments, as I move forward into this world with more peace and love. I will remind myself of this more as I step up my meditations, and focus on the good in my world.

Is there another life somewhere
where you know you that you belong?
is there another place
where you know you are meant to be?
Are there other ways
that you know you should be living?
Ways that go along
with who you are in this other place?
Does this other life
seem like it is a million miles away?
So far from where you are
and never to be reached?
Do you feel like
your getting there is almost impossible?
Too many hurdles to jump
Too many mountains in the way?
But what if this place
is already in existence?
What if it is real and
you are right there enjoying this other life?
What if you could see it for a moment
and truly get a glimpse?
Of this life in this other realm
would it change your life today?
Would you then know it is real
and feel that you belong?
Would you know that it is just as real
as where you find yourself right now?
Would you do what it takes
to be in the new place?
That you saw in your dreams
and said “that’s how my life should be?”
Yes
if you decided that you have to be there
Yes
if you determined to apply the great secrets
Yes if you choose to your live
in the great way
And and walk the magical path
enjoying all your steps
Positive Guru Reminder: The great ones say that everything is everywhere always. This means that your highest good, your supreme happiness, your wonderful situation is in existence right now, whether you can see it and are experiencing it or not. So the idea is to meditate to be at peace enough to see it and to live like the person who belongs in that situation. Place yourself in the atmosphere that convinces you that it is real. If you can do these things, you will find your greatest dreams magically manifesting.

Question for Craig: I had a dream last night in which I was to be seated at a table with my Grandmother. My children were with me. I felt as though my Grandmother may oppose us being there with them, because we were of a lower class or caste. For a moment I felt bad and crunchy or somewhat inferior. I was telling my kids, “it is okay we are going to sit that table with them regardless of how they feel.” As I was coming out of the dream, I was thinking “My Grandmother would never feel that way about me. Why am I having this dream?”
When I woke up all I could think about was a job we had to do for one of my clients. I felt like I did not charge enough and was in a bad deal. Do you think this had anything to do with my dream?
Craig’s Answer: Yes absolutely. Our dreams reveal quite a bit about ourselves, and are often trying to teach us how to behave better in the future. The fact that your first thought was about this bad business deal says a lot. But the fact that this was your Grandmother in the dream also tells us that at times, you may place yourself in bad deals in your personal life also, where you struggle with feeling inferior. Not with your Grandmother. She was only a symbol. But perhaps in relationships with your wife and children, or with friends.
In the future, you must only make good deals in which you are feeling yourself valued. Doing this will change how you feel about yourself. You will be telling yourself and the Universe that you only deserve the best. The entire world will respond accordingly, and change how it responds to you. If you can do this, only make good deals, you will find yourself in the best of income situations, and personal relationships.
Today’s Positive Guru Application: Pay attention to how you deal with other people. All day long we are making deals. Only make good deals, being fair to the other party, but at the same time absolutely feel fair and good to you. Soon this will become a habit and you will be surprised at where you find yourself in business and in love.

It is said that Albert Einstein discovered the theory of relativity in a dream.
In the movie The Wind Rises, the main character gets his ideas for engineering design from dream. He would actually go into a dream hoping to get answers.
We can learn to do the same thing in our lives, ask to receive information that we need from our higher self just prior to going to sleep, and get the answers from our dream. We can then live our lives accordingly.
Application: Just before going to sleep, think of something that you would like an answer to or more clarification on in your life. The more complicated the problem at hand the better. Ask your higher self, God or the Universe to reveal the answer to you in a dream. Upon awakening try not to let your feet hit the floor until you stop to recall your dream. Then pay attention to how it relates to your question posed the night before.
