Transformation can be a very messy process. Unfun is the word that I am looking for. The good news is that transformation is all about evolution and growth. During this process of becoming and developing, we are losing our attachment for old things.
Don’t be scared or uneasy. It is okay to change. Our old stuff belongs to an earlier chapter of our life. The real question that we must ask is: what stuff fits our life now? What is it that we want now? The things that we were doing before in our life may not apply to us now. This is because of the change that is happening to us. Thing we cared about before aren’t necessarily as important anymore.
Clearing out the old stuff to make room for the new stuff. Your present self is evaluating all the things that your former self would choose in order to see if those decisions apply to u now.
Transformation is a beautiful because something that was once one thing is now becoming some else.
Transformation can be a sad process to endure. We are mourning the self that we used to be. A process such as this can be hard and painful whenever it involves breaking our old self-definitions.
Life gives us experiences to work with. From these experiences, we learn, adjust and choose—then transformation comes and something new emerges. Transformation is about becoming something new. As we change, we are choosing and nurturing the things in our life that matter while minimizing the things that don’t. All the while, we are raising our standards and optimizing our life.
That is the overall theme of this album. This has been the most challenging and impactful material yet. I channeled all 17 songs between 8/31 - 9/4. I think all 17 tracks will make the final cut. The translation of the channels into a coherent lyrics for 8 of the 17 tracks did not begin until 9/19. This 15 day gap was significant since it represents experiences in my life after 9/4 that contributed in helped me better decipher the channel.
Phenomenon
Posted to Website on September 16
The decisions we make in life…every one of them goes toward telling our life story. Our stories are never quite the way we imagine them to be. This is by design, since the Universe seems all about surprise. Sometimes, though life can seem like one big shitstorm that hovers over us for a brief period of time before finally deciding to pass over when we’ve had enough.
There is another kind phenomenon that seems a bit different than the shitstorms that come and go. This phenomenon is likened to a restriction or a test that has been placed upon us for whatever reason.
Perhaps it is because we have breached a threshold or exceeded a credit limit on the life decisions that we have accumulated over time. Could the result be that every decision that we make after that point gets put under a microscope and uber-magnified?
A threshold or a credit limit can seem like a punishment or a stern consequence for the life decisions that we have made over time. Perhaps, instead of a threshold or a credit limit, we are being challenged to a test—a test that we must undergo whenever we are getting close to manifesting something significant in our lives. Who knows. It could be even a combination of the two phenomena.
Whatever the case may be, during this period, there seems to be absolutely no wiggle room when it comes to our decision making process. Even the smallest arbitrary decisions carry a heavy weight to them. This is because the Universe is basically commanding us to break the loop caused by the energy footprint, created by our accumulated decisions. Our challenge is to transcend this footprint which has set us out of balance and outside the dream-vision that we have for ourselves.
If we make the kinds of decisions that align us to our dream-vision, we transcend the footprint and evolve to the next level of manifestation. If we don’t, our life continues to spiral down into a increasingly complex levels of chaos.
What dream-vision have you set for yourself? What is it that you want to see realized in your life? Are your day-to-day decisions contributing to this dream-vision?
Under this model, each decision becomes currency that we can either 1) spend frivolously or 2) invest toward our dream vision.
If we are too frivolous in our decision making, we take steps backward on our life path. And if we take enough steps backward, the Universe will begin to place stern restrictions on our decision making, magnifying the consequence of each of our decisions, until we are forced to make a self-correction. Not making a self-correction can result in a temporary (or permanent) collapse of our dream-vision, Such a collapse puts us in an exponentially difficult place where there is no happy ending in sight.
Of course, hard lessons can be valuable and sometimes necessary experiences that we can learn from, in order so that we can move closer to our dream-vision. But remember this: a life without a dream-vision and only hard lessons is not a life at all. It is only a struggle and a battle—not something that any of us were meant to endure over a lifetime. Yes, own and embrace whatever lesson comes your way, learn from it, so that u can move toward manifesting the next chapter of your phenomenal life.
