The Meaning of Life I

Since the beginning of time people have searched for the meaning of life. They have asked the questions we have all asked at one time or another: Why are we here? Where did we come from? Does any part of us continue beyond death? And if so, where does that part go when our bodies die?

This search for the meaning of life has led to all manner of teachings and theories about heaven and hell, purgatory and paradise, but still something seems to be missing. In this series we will attempt to offer our own ideas about why we are all here on the earth plane and where we will go when our bodies become obsolete.

Of course, we could never be presumptuous enough to say that our ideas about the meaning of life are any more or less accurate than others that have been put forward. We offer this series simply as one possible explanation for our existence on this planet and in the universe. If you have strongly-held opinions about the matter which are not in agreement with the ideas in this series then you should feel free to maintain them. The universe is a big place and there is room enough for all attitudes, approaches and beliefs.

That said, we do hope that you find this series to be both insightful and valuable as you progress further along the road of your life…

If you are like most people, you probably view the beginning of your existence as the time when you were born on this earth. If you are a little more thoughtful, you might view the beginning of your existence as the moment in which you were conceived by your parents.

Whilst either of these events could be viewed as the beginning of your most recent earthly existence, neither of them are accurate in describing the beginning of your existence as a spiritual being. The fact is that spirit is eternal. It has no beginning and it has no end. Therefore you as a spirit being have no beginning and no end. You have always existed and you always will exist. This is the meaning of the word ‘eternal’.

This view of your existence throws up much more than the question of where you will go when your physical body expires. It also throws up the question of where you came from before your physical body came into existence.

If you study the scriptural texts of any major religion or philosophy, you will find that – in the majority of cases – one point is agreed upon. That point is that, in the beginning – before anything had manifested itself on the physical plane of existence – all that existed was pure potentiality. This potentiality, from which all things were created, is traditionally referred to as God.

Now most people have broken free from traditional views and come to the conclusion that God is not a white-bearded man sitting on a celestial throne and wielding a big cosmic stick. God is simply energy, and can probably be more accurately described as a Universal Intelligence (which may or may not be related to the so-called Dark Matter which many scientists believe to occupy 96% of the known universe). It knows all because it is all. It is everywhere because no place exists without it. It can do all things because it is all things.

Now if all things came out of that one energy which we call Universal Intelligence, then everything which exists in the universe is a part of that Intelligence. On a quantum level everything that exists is energy. In other words, everything you see around you is a manifestation of the same energy. You are energy. Your cat is energy. Your next-door neighbour is energy. All is energy and nothing is not part of the same energy.

So the question of where you were before you were born physically onto this plane is both simple and complicated at the same time. You were everywhere, because you are energy. And where will you go when your physical body dies? You will go everywhere, because you are energy.

How to Amplify the Law of Attraction

The Law of Attraction is a universal principle which really can help people to create good things in their lives, but not everyone who tries to work with the Law of Attraction gets the same quality of results. Some people read about the Law of Attraction, apply what they learn and find that they are able to manifest even sizeable desires with the greatest of ease. Others, by comparison, find that they have to work quite hard with the law of attraction to manifest even modest desires.

Some individuals have concluded that this variation in results means that the Law of Attraction is in some way inconsistent, but that is not the case. The variation in results is simply due to the fact that different people bring a different quality of energy to the task of creating good things in their lives. In short, those who bring a higher level of energy tend to experience speedier manifestations than those who bring a lower level of energy. It therefore stands to reason that if you have ever wondered how to amplify the Law of Attraction, the answer is to raise the quality of your own energy.

We all know how the Law of Attraction works theoretically – you attract whatever happens to be in tune with your own energy. The problem arises when people take the word energy to refer only to their thoughts.

Changing your thoughts is certainly important when you want to work with the Law of Attraction, but unless you also change how you feel on an energetic level you won’t manifest your desires as quickly as is genuinely possible.

For example, if you would like to experience a greater level of abundance in your life then it is obviously a very good idea to think abundant thoughts. But if you continue to feel a lack of abundance on a deeper level, that feeling of lack will reduce the effectiveness of your abundant thoughts. And unless you also start to feel abundant on an energy level you won’t experience the full power of the Law of Attraction in your life.

So how can you raise your energy to the point where you start experiencing the Law of Attraction at something approaching its full power? The answer is to learn to work on a feeling level as well as on an intellectual level, and we will discuss how to do that in the next part of this two-part series.

Develop Incredible Charisma

Some people in life seem to have incredible charisma. These people are confident, charming, witty and amazingly popular with almost everyone they meet. But charisma isn’t something that some individuals are born with and others aren’t. It is simply the ability to charge the aura of etheric matter that we all have with intensely positive energy. Anyone can learn to do this deliberately. Indeed, people have done so for centuries.

The technique for developing incredible charisma is easy to learn, but extremely powerful. It involves getting yourself into what is known as a ‘peak state’ of emotional and physical intensity. Once established, the positive energy created by this peak state will charge your aura and automatically make you more charismatic for the rest of the day.

To get the most out of this technique (which is, by the way, based on the profound knowledge of the shamans) you should practice it every day without fail. By doing this, your aura will maintain a strong charge of positive energy which radiates charisma day after day.

The very first time you use this technique, you may feel a little self-conscious. This is normal. Within a few days you will notice people responding to you differently, more positively, and this in itself will naturally make you want to use the technique again and again. Before long you will be an awesomely charismatic individual and enjoy immense popularity. At this stage all feelings of self-consciousness will have vanished automatically. The technique for developing incredible charisma is as follows:

Each morning, go to a place where you can enjoy total privacy. Now imagine hearing a regular drumbeat which has a moderate pace. As you listen to this drumbeat in your imagination, begin to dance along to it. Do not worry about how you might look – no-one can see you. Just focus on dancing to the rhythm of the drumbeat within.

Now gradually increase the tempo of the drumbeat you hear, and as you do so, ensure that your dancing pace also increases accordingly. Allow the drumbeat to grow faster and faster, until you begin to feel a noticeable increase in your physical energy.

If you do this correctly, you will notice that your heart rate speeds up and your breathing becomes more intense. At this stage, whilst still dancing, use your creative visualization skills to imagine going through your day as an incredibly charismatic individual. In your mind, see people smiling at you, wanting to be around you – maybe even flirting with you if that is what you want. As you do this, hear the drumbeat grow louder and louder. Right now you should feel the energy coursing through your head and through the rest of your body even more intensely. Enjoy this feeling of energy and vitality. This is the real you. The charismatic you.

When your energy level has increased as much as you think it can, stop the internal drumbeat and stand still for a few seconds. Take a few deep breaths and then continue with the rest of your day. You will now radiate charisma automatically throughout the day, and if you ever feel your charisma weakening, simply hear the drumbeats in your mind to recharge your aura.

Change Your Life with Power Mantras

For the benefit of new Create Good Things visitors, let me begin this series on Power Mantras by going over a few basic but nevertheless vitally important principles which form the foundation of all that I discuss here.

First of all, everything in the universe can be reduced to one basic substance – energy. The chair you sit in, the computer screen in front of you and your body itself are all different manifestations of a singular energy.

Secondly, the energy of the universe responds to thought (both conscious and subconscious). What you think on a regular, consistent basis alters the state of your own energy field and determines what conditions will be manifested in your life.

Thirdly, by using the preceding principles to deliberately alter the state of your personal energy field, you can determine for yourself what you want to be manifested in your life. In other words, you change your life greatly just by changing the quality (or vibration) of the energy that you put out into the universe.

The metaphysical theory behind these principles is sound, but theory is not enough. It
is not enough to simply tell people ‘change your thoughts and you will change your life,’ because, although this is true, we also need to address the question of, ‘How do I do that?’

There are many ways of answering this question simply because there are many ways in which one can begin to change the state of his or her own personal energy field. In this series we will focus on one of the most powerful methods I know of which is both easy to understand and simple to implement into your normal daily routine – the use of Power Mantras.

As many of you will already be aware, a mantra is a word or phrase which is repeated over and over during a period of meditation. The purpose of the mantra is two-fold:

To give the meditator something to focus on during the meditation period. Mantras dispel the need for creative visualization skills and the even more difficult ability to ‘empty the mind’.

To generate a specific state of awareness and/or to generate a specific state change in a personal energy field.

Normally, the aim of mantra meditation is to bring about a spiritual shift in consciousness and help an individual to increase their level of spiritual awareness. Whilst this is of course the highest use to which mantra meditation can be put, the technique can also be used quite legitimately for the manifestation of specific qualities or conditions in life.

Power mantras are specific words and phrases which can be used for just such a purpose. By selecting a power mantra which has been designed to change the state of your personal energy field in a certain way, you can effectively re-create your own reality from the inside out simply by using it on a regular basis.

For example, if you wish to experience a greater level of abundance in your life, you could use a power mantra which will help your personal energy field to begin to attract more and more financial success and abundance.

Or, if you wish to experience a greater level of romantic love in your life, you could use a power mantra which will help your personal energy field to begin to attract more in the way of romantic experiences.

The fact is that there is no limit to the applications to which power mantras can be put. In this series you will be given suitable power mantras for increased wealth, luck, health, and many other qualities that you might like in your life.
