If you don’t have time to create a new future, don’t bother to read the rest of this post. You may be like Eddie, with lots of interests and no focus.

To create a new future, you have to change what you are doing. You might want to start by seeing what actions contribute least to your survival. If you can’t make up your mind, try explaining to someone you trust why all of your actions are necessary.

We will be holding a Zoom workshop this Sunday at 12 noon EST, where we can help each other examine our barriers to change and devise strategies for making them gateways instead of barriers.

Almost all barriers represent some past counter-intention we could not overcome, so we carry them forward to prevent them from stopping us again, by avoiding the things we tried before.

Almost all past failures occurred because we were unable to grant beingness to some opposing viewpoint and we barreled ahead without understanding the basis for the opposing viewpoint and counter-intention. In our workshop this Sunday, we should be able to take an exterior look at some persisting barriers and help each other open the way to creating a new future.

Join us on Zoom, Sunday, at 12 noon EST using the usual link. If you don’t have the link, send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com telling me why you want to participate in the workshop.

You can go along, repairing the damages from past encounters with counter-intention, or you can focus on creating a future where intentions are focused on expansion and joyful accomplishment.

The decision is up to you, focusing on past disappointments or on future accomplishments. Either choice is valid, but the secret to happiness is knowing what choice you are making and how long you are going to go in that direction.

I see far too many people flailing about in untenable situations where they are looking for the environment to give them directions. Essentially, they are waiting to see what happens next, rather than deciding what they will cause to happen.

If you find yourself in this state, I may be able to help you. Send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com explaining your situation, and I will give you a free session to see if I can assist you in resolving your indecision with therapeutic spiritual counseling.

Harnessing is the present participle of harness, which means to control something, usually in order to use its power.

The only reason anything happens is because there is an intention to make it happen. When you intend something to happen, it happens, unless you allow other intentions to take over. The only reason we reached the moon in 1969, or became separate from England in 1775 was because there was enough intention to make that happen.

When you have enough intention, you make it happen for yourself, and if you intend it to happen for others, you can make that happen also if your intention is great enough to influence them.

Intention is a spiritual ability and depends on how aligned you and your spiritual companions are at any given time. If you are aware of your spiritual companions and are operating in alignment with them, all of your intentions are aligned and you make things happen easily and consistently.

If you and your spiritual companions are not aligned, you will find yourself being constantly distracted and unable to get things done the way you want. Aligning your intentions and the intentions of your spiritual companions takes an effort of will and an understanding of what you are all doing.

When you and your spiritual companions are operating in alignment, magic happens and you and they will experience unbelievable joy and satisfaction. In the attached image, Jake has been able to become his calm and beautiful self again.

What Will It Take To Be At Peace With Yourself?

I have the feeling that being at peace with yourself was not on your list this year, but if it was, you can help guide the rest of us while we discover the steps that will lead us to that goal.

What I have been seeing, and I include myself in that group, is people working diligently to get things done and to lead a better and more productive life. I realized this evening that my ultimate goal is to be at peace with myself and to help other to achieve that state also.

I also realize that I can’t quite state what I have to do in order to achieve that state and to keep it once attained. There have been moments in my life when I have achieved that state and I can’t remember now what I did that started that state, nor what happened that ended that state.

In tomorrow’s workshop we will explore the creation and destruction of that state, with the intention of being able to achieve repeatedly in the future.

Join us on Zoom at 12 noon EST, US time, using the usual SRT Workshop link. If you do not have the link, send me an email at srtcounseling@gmail.com and tell me why you want to participate in our workshop.

I look forward to seeing you there.
