Step Two of Intuition: Alignment & Connection

Here, through some easy diagrams I explain how my guide taught me how alignment and connection works through our intention (feelings; our heart) and frame of mind (thought, thinking).

Years ago, whilst the spiritual world was still maintaining that our thinking brain was what manipulated our emotions. My guide was teaching me that the opposite was true.

People were going to seminars and watching speakers who were repeating the mantra that what you thought/believed, you received. People busied themselves making goals and fantasy/dream boards, repeating daily what life they saw in their mind, in order to desperately manufacture their dreams.

Whereas I was being taught about being present. Appreciation over thankfulness and the work of maintaining that feeling, no matter the situation. Maintaining that temperance state is the work that needs to be the main focus for those that want to evolve spiritually as well as manifesting.

First Problematic Fork in the Road

Here lies the first problem. When people talk about alignment 'slash' connection, we're almost talking to two different groups. There are those who 'wish to align and connect to something greater than themselves in order to evolve and learn greater truths' - and usually this motivation is propelled by a realisation that everything is not what it seems in this dimension - which is why being awake has so many connotations more recently. And then there is the second group of, "Well if I'm evolved, I can also have a better life" camp.

There is a huge mistake that's taught in some circles of Psychology, 'Listen to the first part of what someone is saying'. When in 99.9% of the time, people say what they really want at the end. It's a purely subconscious. So for example, if you ask someone to list what is most important to them for a new home (and you're a a estate agent) listen to the last thing they say. Same for a future boyfriend/girlfriend. They may swear blind that it isn't true but it is. Validation for this perspective can be for another day but as a former Hypnotherapist I used this with great success to understand what clients really wanted.

Do you see where I'm going with this? Look back at the two highlighted sentences of the two camps and spot the second half of each sentence. Now there is a belief that there is no such thing as altruism because our ego always has to find a place to land, even though we're all capable of a spontaneous altruistic act.

So one party seeks truth and the other a better physical life, at its basic core. Both is a gain for themselves. So why does this make a difference? Well the first party is more likely to seek for the rest of their lives and it becomes a calling; a hobby that has no end whereas the second group tends to fall away quite quickly. So my question to you is why do you seek alignment and connection? Then listen to the last part of your reply.

Then another fork appears...

So now each camp now divides again into two more groups:

+ Truth seekers: 'Learning Emotional Control' (EC) and 'Not Learning Emotional Control' (NEC).

+ 'Better Life': EC and NEC

- The Truth Seekers attaining EC, will have a greater life experience all in all and will manifest with ease, as a bi-product.

- The Truth seekers who are NEC will continue their journey but won't create greater benefits that are long lasting or manifest things into their lives with any great accuracy; it will be a hit or miss affair.

-Better Lifers attaining EC, are able to bring into their lives success, sheer luck and prosperity and people are often in awe of these individualities because no matter what they do it is a success and even if they fall, when they get back up they're more successful than they were before. They're positive and smiley. Interesting footnote here, this is why psychopaths are in this group and do very well here.

-Better Lifers who are NEC go from one attempt after another, they have sporadic success but never gather enough understanding of 'how or why' it happened in order to replicate it repeatedly, so they know it works but they can't seem to sustain it. Their frustration leaves them with many books and tapes gathering dust on shelves and in cupboards.

Back to aligning ...

So you've worked out why you want to align (helps with anxiety, for instance). No matter what the reason, now can you see from above why EC is so important?

We all fall short at times and that's to be expected, its life. Without its struggles we wouldn't develop inner fortitude that helps us through the testing periods. If though, you wish for a deep relationship with your guide, Creator etc, then the 'monk like' tenacity is required but few desire with that much energy.

We can become easily side-tracked and distracted with earthly dramas, lose focus and go back to old ways but like sperm in the race to the egg, enough will still battle through, thank goodness and win the prize. My cry to the masses is for perseverance, tenacity, patience and endurance; for the fruits are worth it all. Learning to stay calm when all are losing their heads. To be balanced rather than reactionary when faced with something we don't like or feel comfortable about. To see the beauty or benefits of all situations rather than mope, moan and complain. To be at peace and be content in an environment that is awkward or stressful. These aren't easy, but life is better when you've started the process of Learning Emotional control.

I can't count the amount of people who've wanted help but when I say that this will involve controlling their emotions, they're suddenly not bothered. When they're 'up' they're rolling around manifesting like a happy little pig in mud but when they're 'down'; the whole world feels like it's collapsing around them and suddenly they can't manifest anything. they can't feel their guide or feel close to their faith; they feel abandoned.

They haven't been abandoned of course. They've just checked out of healthy, balanced feelings and went out of alignment with source energy. They stepped out of the light.

A little story ...

I always wanted to be aligned for aligned's sake. I loved God and baby Jesus when I was little (that's what I called them from a toddler) and all I ever wanted to do was serve them. Then I grew into my 20's and 30's and realised that something wasn't right. The narrative, the church, the people. It all felt like gaslighting. My Holy Spirit (when I was in my 40's, that's what I called my guide) didn't judge me, make me feel useless, worthless or hopeless. I knew this Holy Spirit always had my back and was teaching me large truths that church had long gone been able to keep up with. The people in church seemed to be stuck emotionally at a childlike level and the Ego was everywhere but nobody was seeing it. Why was the church keeping their people like sheep, infantile and emotionally governed. It was like the church was setting up the congregations to fail in evolving. Everything was watered down and the strength was extinguished.

The laws of manifesting or being aligned is not difficult to navigate, once you understand that Source doesn't move away from you ... you move away from Source!

It's is being mindful of what you feel. That's it. The meaning of life. And you can't cheat either. You can make a show of maintaining an aura of serene peacefulness but bottling up emotion usually finds an escape door and the veneer will fall away quite quickly.

The trick is simply to find peace in your heart and and then maintain that equilibrium and defend it from outside forces. You cannot control other peoples behaviour and attitude but you can control who you surround yourself with, the media you fill your head with and how you talk to yourself.

I highly recommend slowing down time on a regular basis by relaxing your mind through simple techniques of relaxing the body and mindful breathing techniques. These greatly help when you want to stay emotionally centred.
