Creating professional success and contentment for the soul

Compromise or  feeling defeated never helps the soul evolve. To evolve, it is important to feel powerful, content and aligned with our inner voice. We have to keep changing our choice sin life to evolve to success from the soul level. The soul is not static. As consciousness expands. choices change . Our beleif in God increases as we follow our changing choices while remaining true and responsible , as God would in our place.

Staying in debt, but incurring meaningless expenditures, staying married to people who are negative and cursing your fate, doing jobs which pay but make your soul feel crushed -- all are ways which incur negative karma. Suffering arises when we create negative energy and negative karma because we are weak as souls . When we take choices as the Creator would for the good, then our soul helps us evolve.

It is important to feel good to be happy. We feel good when we have dreams of happiness for that keeps alive our zeal to live. Dreams keep our soul alive because the soul is a part of the Creator. It has to create. The soul creates through thinking in a certain direction. Energy is released by feelings contained in our thoughts. Thoughts which have positive feelings entailed release positive energies necessary for creation of happiness. Dreams, ambitions and desires tell us what to create so as to feel enriched and evolve, as souls. Our soul cannot stay happy in the body, if we get used to monotony or boredom as a way of life , as those release negative feelings of emptiness in the soul. The soul devolves if we focus on emptiness as a way of life.

The devolved soul is like a positive light trapped in a dark body . If the soul’s light cannot radiate out through the body

, we feel depressed, diseased, demonic or sick of being alive; and keep waiting for death as   a rescue from the body. But, the death doesn’t help because the soul is caught in a negative energy circuit on Earth and has to free itself at an energy or thought level, to rise upto a positive dimension of freedom, creativity, love or happiness.

The technique of dreaming to keep the soul happy & radiant

Keep doing these steps mentally as you read them. Just reading will not help. The steps have to be practically applied in your imagination with feeling involved.

EXAMPLE DREAMINg OF PROFESSIONAL SUCCESS

•       Sit with feet flat on the floor, spine upright or lie down.

Keep the backbone straight.

•       Focus on the top of your head and remove an imagined lid, as in a kettle. Imagine boiling water pouring out taking out your stress.

•       Feel black smoke coming out of the top of your head.

•       Now, feel a strong beam of light falling on your head from above filling your brain with light. Think that the light is spreading to all parts of your brain.

•       Feel the light travelling down to different parts of your face, to your cheeks, eyes, ears, chin, neck, chest, stomach, hands, finger, and legs.

•       Feel black smoke leaving your feet and feel lighted up in your whole body, as if a white cloud is filling your whole body with light

•       Now, silence your mind and take a deep breath.

•       Close your eyes if you feel like it but it is not necessary.

•       Now, imagine you are in a place where you are successful.

You  can  see  yourself  watching  the  film  of  you  in  the

central role on a TV.

•       If you do not have a concrete image of what happiness

means for you, just make an abstract film in your mind.

•       Feel yourself moving in the picture.

•       Make the picture colorful and as vivid as possible. Focus on being surrounded by energies of success and happiness. Keep imbibing the energies of success with feeling happy.

•       Feel the experience as real as could be in your mind.

Feel your clothes, your skin, your eyes, your smile, your gestures, and your movement.

•       Get  into the feel inside your body. Feel the energy of happiness in your being.

•       Now, feel yourself receiving the respect you desire, the appreciation and love you crave for. Imagine feelings of self worth swelling in you. Feel peace in your body as you imagine you are achieving your goals smoothly. Feel good that It’s Happening and! You are in it now!

•       Hear the sounds, focus on other people involved, hear the negotiations, hear the arguments, hear the questioning, hear the approvals, the laughter and hear your own mental talk.

•       Keep talking positively to yourself that your work will be done as you desire with success. Feel happiness rising in you as you feel successful.

•       Thank God that you feel happy and successful. Smile to yourself as you keep imagining. Focus on happiness in a way that you actually feel joyous in your body. That would ensure you release positive hormones in the body.

•       Feel powerful, successful or content as you come out of the scenario. Focus on the feelings you desire more than on the details of the picture.

•       We  are  manipulating  creation  of  energies  which  will manifest into form. The feelings of happiness are more important than focusing on the form through which you attain happiness.

•       Be  as  specific  as  possible  in  feeling  the  outcome  you desire. Feel it intensely. Keep yourself grounded on your feet in that picture. Do not think of your visualization as fantasy. Be in that body as in real.

•       Finally, connect to a halo of light above your head and take white energy in your stomach and chest. Breathe out any heaviness as you take in energy from the sky.

•       Radiate  out  light  from  the  centre  of  your  heart  and stomach, as if you are beaming like a Sun.

•       Tell yourself that ‘I thank God that I will be guided to the right profession where I would achieve these feelings of

purpose of incarnation. I allow myself to be guided by my

Higher Self in making the right choice at the right time.’

•       Breathe in and  take in golden energy into your body.

Inhale the energy of the words into you, making it a part of your subconscious repertoire. Accept the guidance mentally even if you do not have clear choice yet on what to do or are confused that your choice may not get you these feelings which you desire. Choose to be flexible so that you can follow your subconscious guidance.

•       SMILE,    thank    GOD,   thank    yourself   for    accepting the guidance and feeling good and come out of the visualization.

Keep repeating the exercise mentally. Even if you do not have time to follow all the steps exactly each time. You can release positive hormones in your body by just allowing yourself to float into a smiling imagination whenever you can spare a few seconds.

The more you visualize, the happier you would feel and the energies of happiness would get activated in your life.

Overtime, your circumstances would change to manifest the feelings you focus upon.

The same technique is used for any visualization, be it creating feeling loved or healthy. The focus has to be on feeling the picture of the dream we desire, before taking action on how to achieve our dream.

If we programme our subconscious mind to focus on feelings of happiness, before making the choice on how to achieve happiness; our intuition will guide us in directions which would ensure our happiness.

Otherwise, we are likely to make choices out of fear or by following doctrines of a generalized definition of success or happiness; which would backfire in the long run.

Being successful to keep our family happy or prove our self worth in terms of other people’s definitions of success may not help us to feel happy from within.

Achieving impossible dreams

As we go through life, we all have dreams. Usually, our dreams are governed by what other people expect from us. In schools, we are told to perform and our dreams entail receiving praise through sports or academics etc. Then, growing up entails dreams of professional success which is again determined by what society deems is possible given our sphere.
The only break away we make from conventional thinking is by falling in love, having affairs or going truant. Though these activities are considered distractions in Indian society, these are the only ambitions towards original thinking that we display.
For teenagers, seeking an identity involves drinking alcohol or smoking because they want to diverge from the set norms. Doing something different appeals to the soul which wants to break away and create something anew.
However, as the person grows older and gets into the grind, he tries to follow set norms. The teenagers who rebel a lot, have too many affairs or experiment to much with negative habits start feeling abused, overtime. The need of the soul was for creativity but by jumping too high , and too often, they end up bruising themselves more than moving on.
Such people become bitter and start preaching traditional values though they still find it difficult to follow tradition, themselves. An inner conflict keeps breaking them as the soul needs to achieve dreams, left in half ,due to careless mistakes.

However, dreaming is important for soul evolution. If we just achieve success in terms of other people, we would never rise to a higher quality of existence as we would keep procreating that which already exists. We would do the popular jobs, marry the trendy looking people and think we have achieved success in life.
But, the soul craving would not get satisfied with being popular or conventionally successful.

The soul would seek fulfillment be it sexual fulfillment arising from being truly loved, emotional fulfillment from being understood or professional fulfillment arising from contributing meaningfully.

As is written in the book  IN SEARCH OF HAPPINESS

SECTION - THE PURPOSE OF A LIFE ON EARTH

In each life on Earth, we, as souls, plan to achieve a specific purpose. The purpose of life involves focusing energies on creating a particular kind of physical reality, which would help us attain happiness in that life.

Different souls have different life purposes and they are born with a skill set necessary to attain that purpose. For example, one person may have a desire to be a dancer while another may desire to be an engineer. In the process of the pursuit of these desires, the soul moves towards attaining its  life purpose.

To attain this purpose, we make a life-plan, at the soul level before incarnating on Earth. All the steps on this plan are designed to lead us to attaining the level of emotional training required to achieve the life purpose.

The steps are coded at an energy level and they keep motivating us to pursue certain instincts over others. Through successfully making choices which help us feel happy/positive from within while manifesting our external desires; we can evolve to achieving our life purpose. The path towards achieving the life purpose is difficult but is accompanied with a high quality of emotional satisfaction.

 Since the soul is a unit of life force energy, it understands its reality in energy terms and not in physical or tangible terms.

 

From  our soul’s perspective, the praise, money, respect, success or power we seek to gain through our efforts on Earth,  are emotional experiences. The soul feels positive or negative through these external experiences but does not perceive them directly, physically. It only reads these external aspects of life from an internal emotional scale.

 The individual life purpose, therefore, is a unique emotional experience that the soul seeks to accomplish during that specific journey on Earth.  For an individual, incarnating, little soul, this purpose is the main reason for being born.

 

This individual purpose is also connected to a purpose for the world, i.e., for the planet Earth, as a whole.

In other words, when the soul seeks to raise its individual energy frequency to positive during the process of evolution on Earth, it also has to ensure that the planet’s energies also become more positive, through the work it does. 

 

Negative energies, which come in the form of negative emotions such as fear or doubt, act as obstacles in achieving happiness while pursuing the soul’s purpose of life.

These fears and doubts aim to divert the soul away from the life purpose into a meaningless pursuit of success or power which cannot lead to any feelings of emotional peace or happiness for the soul......... "

For more details, please refer to the book:

http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_seeall_1?rh=k%3AIn+Se arch+of+Happiness+by+swati%2Ci%3Astripbooks&keywords=In+Sear ch+of+Happiness+by+swati&ie=UTF8&qid=1343172768

 

The dreams that appear as impossible to us have to be pursued because they only appear impossible at the physically, tangible perspective of the body. For the soul, the dream is the guideline of the path to be followed to feel successful within.For example, if your dream is flying like superman, you may not be able to literally fly with a  body , but you ca do tasks which make you feel as if your are flying in spirit.

As long as the soul is satisfied, you would realize happiness. But, if you pursue the dream such that you achieve the external outcome but fail to realize the inner spirit, you would remain unhappy. Like, if you want to fly like superman and choose to get in a  superman body costume and bungy jump, the soul would not feel great. It would only make you feel emptier and more helpless because the soul identifies success with the feelings underlying the external act.

To feel like superman, you would have to take up superhuman tasks to help others, which normal people would not desire to. You would also have to learn to connect to a higher realm and take in superhuman power in the form of energy, faith , belief in self and in a  good world.

 

There are no dreams which are fantasies. It is your perception which makes it a fantasy. All dreams have feelings underlying which are achievable. For example, if you are a poor man/woman and you want to drive a Ferrari , it only means that you want your life to race ahead .If you try to work hard in order to buy the Ferrari, you would ensure that your life races and hence you would feel satisfied .If you are on the path of achieving your dreams in alignment with your soul needs of evolution.you would feel more satisfied than negative on an average.
If your desire is to own diamonds, then the soul wants you to raise in consciousness and glitter in spirit as a diamond light. The diamonds wont make you feel fulfilled as the brightening of your inner light would.
If you are ugly and want to marry a  handsome person, the dream is only to make you rise above physical expression of beauty and understand your soul. If you have a powerful soul which can make the other person feel good about herself or himself, your physical beauty would not matter.
 

 

If you are in love and you want a person to be with you but are afraid that you are not good enough, then the dream would motivate you to be good enough. If you believe you would never be good enough for that person, you may never be but if you believe that your dream can come true, you would raise your inner potential. 

If your lover ditches you, it only means that your soul frequencies did not match . You appeared to be similar on the outside but at an energy level, you were very different. If that person had stayed on, you would probably have felt non-understood without realizing it but after the person leaves, and you work on your confidence, you would rise to a much higher level. The process of self healing after getting betrayed in love is explained in detail in the book REDEFINING HAPPINESS ( how to handle negative feelings, a soul's perspective )
