ind yourself a teacher that can show you how to meditate on the cosmic vibration, travel to the higher regions within yourself, and get the answers from within. Once you can travel within sufficiently, have the sights of the invisible, and understand what you are seeing, you learn the rest from God within.
My teacher used to say “Don’t take my word for it. I dare you to try it.” He would also say that we have to become spiritual scientists and test these things out for ourselves.
Many people ask how did I get into the meditation. A big part of it was through experimentation. I wanted to know if the incredible things I was reading about were truly possible. The first time I wanted to know if my subconscious could wake me up at any given time I chose without a clock down to the exact minute. I read about this in a book. I chose an odd time. The first time it did not work. I tried the next night to see if I would wake up at this odd time. To my surprise I woke up at the exact unusual time for me, that I chose, down to the last-minute, 2:01 am.
The interesting thing was I did not do it on my own, my sisters cat came in my room and kept hitting me in the face until I woke up. When I did I could not believe it, it was the exact time I chose. I said to myself, “my deeper mind was deeper than I thought. Not only am I connected to the time to but the whole world including Amber (my sisters cat), she got me up.” After this, I was on a high, trying out meditation and testing for the incredible possibilities that I would hear about and read about. These incredible possibilities proved to be real, some hard to even believe. They have totally changed my life..
If there is something, some higher way of living that you say you believe is real, or want to believe works, be a spiritual scientist, test it out in your world. “I dare you to try it.”

Question:
I just got a an offer for a job that is one hour away from home. I’ve been looking for a job for a while with no luck on even getting interviews. I saw this one, and contacted them. To my surprise they called me right away. I have been to two interviews and they are very interested in me. I don’t get it. Why the one that is far away? When I did initially contact them I was not even taking it seriously.
Craig’s Answer:
Years ago when I had a landscape business, my business mentor told me to ask my customers if they want their gutters cleaned. I never thought much of this idea. Then one day I thought why not? and asked a customer if he needed his gutters cleaned. He said yes, and we did it. Two years later, I stopped doing landscape jobs and only did gutter cleaning. I loved putting people’s minds at ease about possible water damage etc. and it paid well. Now twenty years later, I still own the business. We do gutter cleaning and window washing. This business has been good to me and my family in ways I would have never imagined.
In my opinion, this job offer is a reminder that you have to be open-minded and know that your good can come from anywhere. It will often come from places that you never would have thought, if you let it. This job may even be the best job you ever had in your life.
When you did answer the advertisement, even though you were just answering, thinking “there is no way they will hire me, besides it is too far”, just the act of answering was letting the whole universe know that you are open to good coming in ways you were not open to before. The more you open up your mind to the possibilities of good coming in ways you would not look at before, the more you will find opportunities showing up all over the place.

Karma is another word for come back or results. Our current situation is our karma. It is the results of the way we have acted and thought about our world. These results are here for us to get the lesson at hand. When we truly get the lesson, the situation changes. Once again when we truly get the lesson the situation changes for the better. I have tested this in my life and seen it happen time and time again.
Years ago I had to downsize my gutter and window cleaning business. Business suddenly slowed down and I had serious cash flow problems. I hated the idea of downsizing. I didn’t want to let anyone go or get rid of my office space. I also taught meditation in the space and had it set up for this with a lot of metaphysical books, and the perfect environment. I even saw in meditation how downsizing could make a difference, but I still could not bring myself to make the changes. One day, I asked God to give me the answer one more time. I expected it in 24 hours. The answer came that same day in a surprising way, and this time I got it.
I began to make the changes right away. I downsized and raised my prices. I even moved my business and meditation classes to my home. To my surprise everything changed. I instantly had more money. The meditation students said they liked the classes more at my house. I had more time for my kids and they loved the people at the house every Sunday for the meditation classes. It was like the beginning of a Golden Age in my world. For anyone interested I have a 5 minute video on youtube that tells this story in more detail. For Heaven Here and Now part 1 Click Here
