Those of you who have taught yourselves how to operate machinery, program a computer, dance, successfully interact with the opposite sex, or run a business have already successfully managed your spiritual companions, EVEN THOUGH YOU DIDN’T REALIZE YOU WERE DOING IT.
The reason I can confidently say that is because you have, through simple repetition and sheer intention, managed to get your spiritual companions working in enough harmony that you have successfully done those things, even if you don’t realize you have spiritual companions!
You have overcome fear, anxiety, lack of coordination, and lack of interest to become proficient in some areas, and you deserve a lot of credit for doing that. Once you achieve proficiency, you only need to intend that something will happen, and it happens.
Sheer determination will accomplish these miracles, but there is an amazing shortcut to enable you to do any of these with much less effort and time. This shortcut makes use of a remarkable relationship between three factors, knowledge, responsibility, and control.
If you know you are surrounded by spiritual beings who have emotions and intentions that affect you, it is possible to take responsibility for these beings and to manage or control their actions, so they aid you in every aspect of your life. If you operate in ignorance of the existence of these spiritual beings, they can impede you and obstruct you in your everyday activities. For example, if you are doing things that upset your spiritual companions, they will resist every action you take, and life will become very difficult, and your body may suffer as a result.
You are continually receiving thoughts and emotions from your spiritual companions. When these thoughts and emotions are not coordinated with what you are trying to do, they place a heavy burden on you and can even make you physically ill.
Your spiritual companions are immortal beings just like you, but they have had harrowing and overwhelming experiences and can no longer manage a body like you can. Some of these beings are still desiring to help and seem to consider themselves “Spirit Guides” who advise you in various matters. Other beings are emotionally damaged and spend their time preventing you from harming yourself by doing things that might turn out badly, as these things went badly for them in the distant past. If you ever felt afraid to meet someone new or to engage in a project that might be risky, you have your spiritual companions to thank as they are not willing to have bad things happen to them again.
You can push your way through their objections by sheer willpower, but they will still worry and resist at each step of the way as you work to become successful and develop your skills.
The merciful shortcut to managing your spiritual companions begins with learning how to get enough of them in present time to accomplish what you want to do. After 45 years of study, I have finally discovered a method of meditation that will get your spirits operating in alignment with you. It involves a step that I have never seen mentioned in any article about meditation or mindfulness. When it occurs, it feels like stillness, but that is only part of the story.
The end phenomenon of this meditation is that all or most of your spiritual companions are focused on the same thing. This creates an incredible feeling of presence and allows all of you to operate in concert and to achieve results with almost no effort at all.
In Part Two of this series, we will discuss how to train yourself to achieve this particular meditative state and to be able to resume it at will when you need to control your spiritual companions.
