The Solution (Paperback)

Chapter One

Nothing Matters

Everything is a pure illusion of our own making, no matter how good or bad it may seem, when viewed in the context of eternity it doesn''t really matter. With this knowledge you can change your entire outlook on life. The things that give you stress, unhappiness, make you nervous, whatever, are just experiences for you to know, feel then understand, then they will be over. Positive things are the same, they are just for you to have the chance to experience, know and understand. Life is purely for the purpose of experiencing a whole array of feelings, moods, emotions and experiences.

There is a solution to everything

No matter how dire the situation may seem there is always a solution to every issue or problem that may exist. Sometimes this may seem elusive, but perseverance linked with a desire to solve or overcome issues will gradually bring to your attention the path or direction to take that will shed light on how to resolve matters. The key point is to never loose hope, always keep searching until the solution can be found. It is will power that enables us to persevere; that is the true gift. Overcoming any obstacle will give us strength that will be available in the future to give us comfort in times when we are challenged by some situation or event. If the issue you face is too difficult for you then seek help, you may not find this immediately, but it will be forthcoming. Breaking down the issue into smaller subunits, then tackling the smaller issues one by one is also a common solution. But it is perseverance that will help you win out in the end. Always seek to cultivate a sense to preserver in small matters, then it will gradually evolve to support you with major issues. Endeavor to never ever surrender or give up no matter what the odds. Even in the darkest days look for the light and direction to guide you. Willpower should always be cultivated at any opportunities you may have, because this will help you gain strength to manage the challenges when they occur.

There is always a solution

At times you may feel at a loss and overwhelmed by whatever you are facing. Whatever problems or uncertainties you may have take comfort in the fact that there is always a solution. No matter how extreme the circumstances there is always a way available for you, it may not be quite obvious, but by searching mentally, seeking out guidance from deep within your conscious and subconscious, your spirit, the solution will be forth coming. While it may not be immediate, or sometimes not easy, the solution will present itself to you, then all that is required is to do what needs to be done. One must always remember the old adage; if at first you don''t succeed try, try again. Without surrender, you should always proceed to go forward, doggedly, determined, unceasing, never surrendering to what fate may choose to create to disrupt your life. You are the architect of your own destiny, so use your willpower, your connections to your spirit to manipulate your life to best suit yourself. The key point to always remember is that you only you can make the choices that control your destiny, so never simply submit to what happens, but create your own life path, your own fortune, based upon what you really desire.

There''s a reason for everything

Everything is in synchronicity with each other, nothing is independent or act independent of the other, no matter what you may feel or believe. This life is a complexed structure of people, spirits incarnate, animals, places and things that are all finely interwoven together to form the fabric of life. While you may think that you are an individual with freedom of action, completely independent of others, in fact there is nothing you do or say that doesn''t impact all things in turn in some way or another. We are all interconnected to each other, to everything. The energy source, the force that controls everything is one, binding us all tightly together, even though we may not realize this. The fact is that each one of us is linked to the other, even the ones we dislike the most.

Things happen is to fulfill some purpose; like going to a fun fair and riding the roller coaster, this basically serves no purpose other than to give some thrill or excitement; so it is with the things that happen in our life, they all happen for the thrill of it all. There are no consequences or effect incurred in eternity, it is all down to having experiences that we create, as many as we like, it is all up to us. We create things in our super conscious and subconscious that manifests in our reality. Our mind has the ability to manipulate our desired reality by focused manipulation, using desires that we may have to create our reality. Our higher consciousness has desires that are also manifested in our life; in many cases our conscious mind has difficulty to comprehend the reason for them. Of course, our conscious mind can also manifest reality if it so wishes. We are also impacted by the wishes of others, unless we firmly resist, then any complacency on our part will open us to the effect and impact that occur from the others desires, especially those that are closest to us physically, spiritually or relationship wise.

We always have options to choose, opposites always exist, even if they are not always obvious at first. For everything that happens to us there exist a mirror image experience, we can always choose an alternative reality. To make the switch simply requires mental focus with the specific desire for the reality we require. If our life is unfocussed, without firm dreams and desires, then we will be impacted and controlled by fate; we will simply be an unwitting accomplice, going wherever an undefined destiny may take us. Conversely, if we control and manifest our life desires, both short term and long term ones, then our life and reality will be closer to the life we want, the life we wish to live and experience. It is a fact that something less clear seems further away; this is also true about our life reality. Without a clear and precise focus our life will spin out of our control, leading us to be manipulated by our reality rather than the other way around. We have the sole right to control and manage every aspect of our total reality.

We experience what we want to, or what we accept; if we reject totally and completely any reality it will have difficulty to manifest. Chains of events are coordinated, being linked by cause and effect, once an effect has taken place it is most likely will be irreversible. However, the consequent scenarios of any event can be managed to provide a better outcome within reality. Thus we have the power to change an event in advance but not after the fact. We can fully control the impact and subsequent reality after the event of course. Everything has a reason; the reason is simply that it is someone''s desire; if what happens is not our desire then it''s someone else''s due to our complacency, or lack of desire or direction. With a firm will power our desires for reality will always have priority.

In essence the reason for our reality should be what we wish to experience and perceive; this is our true destiny. Others will surely try to hijack our destiny, using it for their own purpose if we so let them, if we freely surrender to the desires of others for reality we will loose control of our destiny. But as stated, we can change the result of anything affecting our lives, including how things impacts us, simply by taking full control by micro managing every aspect of our lives in order to experience the life that we most long for.

Everything that Happens has a purpose

There is a meaning or lesson to be learnt from each and every experience, the value of which can only be determined by looking at each occurrence in detail, then figuring out what you can get or learn from it. Each moment has value and if an experience passes you by without you utilizing or understanding at least in general what happened then that life experience will be wasted. Take each experience for what it is worth to you and make the best of it, for all you have in the end are the pleasant memories that were created.

Whenever you have the opportunity, then you should reflect upon things that happen in your life, analyzing what the lessons could be in relation to what happened. Whenever you have a major event in your life then analyze it together with what else happened at that time, including anything related to consequent events, find the meaning including the purpose of what happened. From this we can learn the meaning, judge the intention, then grown from the knowledge.

It is the value we that we give to or obtain from life''s experiences that makes the difference. The effort we choose to exert, what we are prepared to do to make the differences to our life is what counts. We can choose to just drift through life without a care, just taking it easy, letting others have responsibility. Yet it is the effort we make to pursue the things of importance to us that will make the experience far more rewarding, valuable and memorable. Material things only have a short limited worth; one should seek to find the special things in life that will have true everlasting value, then pursue them unceasingly. If we can focus our desires on the most important and valuable things of life, not only in the physical sense but also the spiritual, then we can achieve a higher level of realization, satisfaction and frequency of consciousness.

Chapter Two

The choice is yours alone.

You can''t blame others for anything that is undesirable in your life. While it may seem difficult to believe, in fact the choices are there for you to make, right or wrong, good or bad, you always have the final deciding choice of what happens to you. You can decide every fine detail, every fact that makes up your life. Therefore, it is wise to think carefully about what you want from your life, the lessons you wish to learn and the experiences you wish to have.

The combinations of the choices we have made up to this point have a far-reaching impact on our current situation, dictating the quality and standard of our life. The choices that we make from now will determine our future. Few people actually realize the full impact that a series of choices made on a day-to-day basis can have on their life. We are bombarded with choices at every moment, in most cases we decide in less time than the blinking of an eye which course to take, almost without realizing it. Making choices glibly, or without much consideration, sometimes automatically without even consciously thinking, will when accumulated has potential to lead us in a direction we really didn''t want to go. Paying more attention to details, thinking or considering deeply about all the available choices seems a logical solution, but it is not so practical in normal daily life. There are few curve balls in life, but things tend to occur in a repeating cycle; therefore we can predetermine how we will react based upon past experience, thus maximizing the impact we have upon circumferences when they occur.

It is all in the choices we make

What our life becomes is guided by the choices that we make, each choice therefore changing the course of our life, its meaning and direction. We must take care of the direction our life takes, for it will effect and impact every element, every factor of our destiny and fortune. Choose wisely therefore what you do, including the courses and paths that you take. Always consider your desires as well as your life course before making any choices or decisions. The source of everything is based on the choices we make, by which we create and direct the reality for our life.

The Devil is in the Details

Filling in the bits of our reality randomly is what the universe does best. Therefore, if we only create a rough outline of our desired reality the universe goes ahead and creates the rest; which may or may not be in our very best interests or our desires. We may in fact have had a desire for a completely different reality, or at the best a different perception of reality, which was more suitable for our wants and desires. Don''t ever leave gaps in your desires, for fate will takes these randomly creating events to fill in the void.

Chapter Three

Life is a cycle.

All things are tied to some form of repeating cycle; the most noticeable example of this being the cycle of life and death. For example take a tree; in autumn the leaves fall then the tree seems lifeless, yet in the spring new life shoots forward with new leaves. This example also helps show that things are not always what they seem at first glance. Such is our cycle of existence; so while death seems to be the finality, it is simply a transition between states of being. We are in fact eternal spirits, as such we are indestructible, we can only change form, from the physical energy of earth to the mental energy of eternity. Life is like taking a holiday from the spirit consciousness, in order to experience the wonder of creation in the physical form. We can be incarnate in various forms, or repeat the same experience, as many times as we wish, it is solely up to us, our spirits desire to experience.

Continually change and reinvent your life.

Don''t be dragged down by old habits and thought patterns, always try to continually reinvent yourself. Constantly search for new experiences and ideas; read about new subjects, learn new things; do things you don''t usually do, ware different styles clothes of different colours than you are use to; meet new friends who will change your ideas and habits, make an effort to join associations or groups that will give you new insights into life-as well as offering the possibility of meeting new friends. Always seek out new things, avoiding being a person of habits, escaping the trap of repeating your life over and over in the same pattern repeatedly. It is only the experiencing of new things that will make your life fulfilled and joyous. If you follow habits you are destined to keep reliving the same experiences again and again, and what is the point of that, that would be a waste of your life. Seek always to find something new; especially the interesting things or experiences, the people that give you joy. It is indeed true in fact that you can become whoever you want to become simply by reinventing yourself continually. Always try to give yourself new experiences and avoid habit-forming routines or patterns. The experiences available to you are endless and varied; try to experience all the wonders and joys of your life. This life is an adventure so live it as it should be lived, by your rules, your ideas, by your dreams, wishes and hopes. It is always a good idea to identify the traits that you appreciate and should keep, the ones you are not keen on you should be changed. Identify those things about you that you wish were different, then find a way to change them, or even completely replace them with a whole new identity. Study how to change the things about you that you don''t like, this can be achieved by talking to people, leading or joining training classes or study groups. The purpose or meaning of your life can sometimes be illusory; yet working to redirect your life towards a course that truly appeals to you is truly a worthwhile endeavor to undertake.

Have tempo in your life

Each beat of your heart, each and every moment spent creates a tempo to your life, it can be bright or dull. The wise man always chooses the brightness over darkness, joy over sorrow, peace over war, love over hate. The Rhythm of life is critical for if you are out of frequency with this you will be like a member of an orchestra who is out of tune with everyone else, you will be out of balance, you will perceive and understand things differently, you will have a completely different experience than others. This doesn''t mean you need to lower your frequency, if you are on a higher frequency to others it will not matter, you will perceive everything someone at a lower frequency can perceive if you so wish. However, you will not be able to fully comprehend others that are on a higher or even completely different frequency to you.
