Self Improvement - Journey of discovery
By: David Gau-Ghan
"The way you think, not only affects your own life, but others around you - it affects your world. You have the power to change the world you live in." - White Star
So who, you may ask, is White Star?
On face value, White Star is a character in the series of books The
Blue Star Millennium and Quest for Genesis. Many readers,after viewing
these books, have invariably asked the question "were these books
channeled?"
Of course, that query begs another question, "What is channeling?"
Well, there are various possibilities, including the Channel being a
vehicle for another entity to speak through them, or simply verbalizing
their own subconscious thoughts. Hmmm, subconscious... Yes! But what
about the super-conscious?
"There are several parts of your Essence living
simultaneous lives. A part of you will always remain in the higher
realms. This is your Higher Self, which is a spark of the Essence that
permeates all of creation, and which is the Creator. You are all Sons
and Daughters of this Essence, Co-creators of all that you see and
experience."
Okay, from this point of view, isn't it possible that we are ALL
capable of channeling these higher wisdoms? After all, isn't it just
tapping into the higher force, the fountain of wisdom of which we are
all a part? So why do so many of us choose to go to others to hear the
messages?
Admittedly, in times of emotional trauma it's often comforting to go to
others for guidance. Such experiences, perhaps, could be viewed as
valuable stepping stones that eventually lead to the question "Are they
any more capable of tapping into the source than you are?"
"Every individual has the potential to heal the
planet
and to help unify the people in co-operation and understanding. Every
individual has the power of creative visualization. Each of you has the
potential to use your power of thought to bring about change in your
own environment. There is power in numbers and the more people who
project positive thought-forms at the same time, the more powerful the
effect. Now the future is in your hands. Put a little effort into
creating the future that you desire, and you will achieve miraculous
rewards. It is up to you!"
In that case, you may ask, why do we limit ourselves by incarnating on
this physical plane at all? It is as though we have temporary amnesia
of our true origins - our true divinity.
"You are on a wondrous journey of self-discovery.
From
the moment you separated from the Source you chose to go through
certain experiences in order to learn and develop through these trials.
It is not wise to seek the end of the journey prematurely. There is
much to be gained along the way. Become engrossed in the excitement of
your quest and you will suddenly realise that you are a Co-Creator in
the Divine Plan. You create your own reality. You re-affirm your
reality through your beliefs. If you dwell on the negative, you will
manifest that negativity in your life. Similarly, if you concentrate on
the positive, you re-affirm that reality, in your personal life, and
throughout the universe."
So is it all positive, love and light? You would be right in pointing
out that there seems to be so much negativity in the world. How does
this equate with the above metaphysics philosophy statements? Hmmm ...
perhaps we should ask the White Star.
"Each of us has a negative aspect of ourselves,
although
most of us would prefer not to acknowledge that darker side. The darker
side can be so powerful as to form its own identity. We keep it alive
through feeding it on a constant diet of negative thoughts and
emotions. It can reach a stage where it will fight for its very
survival, as a separate entity. If its existence is threatened, the
Dark Side will come out from the shadows to confront us. It will try
and destroy us if we allow it to do so."
Whew! Okay, so if we're honest with ourselves, we all have the
potential for the destructive negative side of our nature to gain the
upper hand. If this happens, how do we conquer that negative aspect?
"You cannot fight your negative side. The more
you deny
it, the more you empower it. The ultimate test is to accept and
recognize the negative aspect of your Being. As long as you deny it, it
will have power over you. When you accept it, you love it into
submission. By merging with it, you transform it."
So why, I hear many of you ask, would we come to the Earth in the first
place. Why come to a world where duality exists, where positive and
negative forces are in perpetual conflict?
"The physical plane holds the greatest lessons.
It is
the ultimate testing ground. When trapped in the physical form, you are
forced to confront your main obstacles to spiritual development. If you
are able to conquer these tests while in the physical body, you make
the
greatest progress spiritually."
"The choice is yours. The choice has always been
yours.
You can either use your power of thought to manifest unity and harmony
in your life, or you can add to the discord by allowing negative
thoughts to dominate. Which is it to be? It is your decision. The way
you think, not only affects your own life, but others around you; it
affects your loved ones; it affects your world. You have the power to
change the world you live in."
White Star, as stated above, is a fictional character in a series of
metaphysical books. The intention of making these mind, body,
soul/spirit quotes available is to stimulate ideas in YOU, the reader,
to help you discover your own power. The initial response to White Star
quotes has been very positive and in recent times, many ezine,
newsletter and magazine editors use these quotes as a supplement to
their articles.
The quotes are excerpts from the new age spirituality books displayed
on the web site www.1-inspirational-quote-book.com
The stories are fiction, written in an exciting and action packed
format that is a medium for ideas to help bring about positive change
in our world. Some view them as new age spirituality, others as simply
inspirational. Regardless of personal beliefs, all have found them
entertaining and enlightening. As one reader wrote "The story slowly
engulfed me, drew me in until I was on my own journey, opening my mind,
enticing me to read more. I ask, is this just a novel or a key to our
future ...?
Unlike any other books, if you take the time to read and digest these
thought provoking stories, I guarantee your outlook on life will never
be the same - it will certainly change for the positive. As the White
Star would say "You have the power to change the world you live in!"
