The Most Overlooked Quality That Makes or Breaks Your Love life

Share Button

The most overlooked quality that makes or breaks your love life is not bad luck, but personal timing.

We’re not referring to trying to time the beginning of a relationship for success, such as planning a wedding on the day of a New Moon. Our findings tell us that other forces, such as an individual’s fate, trump such triviality.

Conventional wisdom dictates several common sense items that make or break your love life, including the following: you must be receptive to a rewarding love life; you must socialize and make yourself available so that you can meet prospective mates; a good match should share common interests and beliefs; and you must feel a sense of well-being in a partner’s presence.

Just put yourself out there and choose someone who makes you feel good. Easy, right? Not so fast.

Almost everyone who has looked for a long-term relationship has encountered the usual problems, including wasting time with bad apples, and just not finding good or even moderate compatibility and chemistry no matter how much effort they put into it.

Why do some people have such an easy time finding a good match, and others fail no matter what they do?

Eliminating the obvious, such as personality challenges (red flag issues such as domineering tendencies, selfishness, vanity, anger, drug and alcohol issues, etc.), or the subconscious fear of abandonment or fear of being trapped in a bad relationship, for example, there still exists an overlooked quality that makes or breaks your love life and it’s unexplainable by modern science, including psychology and almost all the love “experts” we’ve seen and read.

The one hidden quality that determines your love life is personal timing. Your unique collective timing, outlined by comprehensive astrology and numerology, symbolizes your love life. Extremes are easy to identify. In our proprietary systems of analysis, massive collections of red-flag love life timing represent major love life problems. Sometimes the tough love life timing is short-lived, sometimes it lasts a long time.

Unfortunately, you can’t change your collective timing, no matter how inspired you get. Our findings firmly tell us that your personal timing is part of your predetermination. In other words, your timing reflects your fate (or destiny–same exact meaning–what you can’t change about your life).

Fate and karma are best considered from a very wide scope, as in lifetimes, instead of only part of your current life. It’s one sure way to make sense of the unexplained in life. Your intentions, thoughts, and actions now serve to shape the circumstances of your future lives.

Your love life timing may be terrible now for two main reasons: you are fated to endure a challenging relationship because the lessons you will learn are necessary for your spiritual growth; you are supposed to be focusing on other parts of your life, instead of relationships.

In the case of the latter, it’s usually a matter of the person having favorable love life karma, but having to endure a span of time that doesn’t reflect that overall favorable love life karma. If only they knew they were in a temporary negative phase and things would get much better, it would provide a lot of peace of mind.

Perhaps you’re wondering, “How can you possibly say a person’s terrible love life has to do with personal timing?” Our theory isn’t rooted in guesswork.

Our philosophies are the result of long-term empirical research. For over twenty years we’ve scrutinized comprehensive astrology and numerology charts while observing the representative circumstances (past and present) of thousands of individuals. The regular and unfailing repetition of patterns from the comprehensive charts completely matching the events and circumstances in people’s lives has convinced us that love life trials (and other life particulars) has a lot to do with personal timing.

It’s okay to have believed the myth that all it takes is luck and some effort to have a rewarding love life, but now you should act on the truth. If your love life timing is terrible right now, have faith. Bad love life timing doesn’t last forever, and while you endure it, try to focus on other parts of your life to prepare for better times.

Spirituality and Great Sex: Top 8 Hidden Reasons it’s Rare

Share Button

Great, mind blowing sex can be healing and transformational, making you feel alive and full of energy, but unfortunately, it’s rare.

Common complaints about sex that is less than satisfying are selfishness, lack of interest, poor hygiene, low energy, being too quick or slow, being too aggressive or passive, a bad attitude, and being out of shape or overweight.

What makes someone good in bed? Good technique, wanting and knowing how to please, a concern for safe-sex, a sense of adventure and playfulness, and being relaxed and confident all contribute to great sex.

All of those things matter, but what can really make or break great sex is the energy or spiritual connection between two people. If you pay attention, you’ll notice the energy connection is different between every person you meet. The spiritual connection also includes subconscious memories of how your souls knew each other in past lives. Consider the circumstances below metaphoric if you don’t believe in reincarnation.

Here are the top 8 spiritual, usually hidden, reasons for bad sex:

1) You were enemies in past lives. This type of energy can stimulate more energetic sex, but it can also foster animosity, which will eventually kill the connection.

2) He was your brother, sister, father, or mother in a past life. You may be drawn to each other now, in this life, but sex or even the idea of it with him just feels awkward. This is one reason why you shouldn’t try to force each potential relationship and instead just relax and see what feels right (or doesn’t) and is meant to be (or not).

3) You two were lovers but then she betrayed you in a past life by having an affair. This can often subconsciously motivate you to want to cheat and, or cause you to feel like you can’t trust her.

4) You two were nuns, priests, monks, or other religious individuals and sex was forbidden. The subconscious shame and guilt might still be present and cause sexual dysfunction.

5) You experienced a past life where you were punished or tortured for having sex. Subconsciously, you now associate sex with pain and death. In extreme cases this can cause someone to have little interest in sex, or be attracted to violent sex.

6) You had multiple lifetimes in societies where sex was forbidden for anything but procreation. You may have even helped enforce such beliefs. Subconsciously you still think sex is “wrong” and cannot allow yourself to let go and enjoy sex.

7) You are hopelessly devoted, subconsciously, to a past life lover. Consciously, you don’t remember promising centuries ago to wait for him or forever be hers and only hers, but the pact still prevents you from enjoying sex with anyone but that long forgotten love. If you don’t consciously remind yourself often that it’s over, time to move on, and that everyone has many soul mates, you’ll block any love life pleasures in the present and future.

8) You or your partner are experiencing spirit possession or attachment. The interfering energy can drain you, leaving little energy for sex. In some cases an attached spirit, for whatever reason, dislikes your partner. Since it’s difficult to distinguish between the attached spirit’s thoughts and your own, this can cause sexual and relationship problems.

Great sex doesn’t have to be rare; address the root cause for and you’ll increase the likelihood of more satisfying sex for both you and your partner.

Meditation Checklist

Share Button

Meditation is vital for increased peace of mind and even enhanced physical health; we offer a meditation checklist below to help you finally reap all the benefits from deep meditation.

Twenty-five years ago, meditation was still viewed by almost everyone as something only practiced by dreamers and fools. Thankfully, that has changed. Today, there’s far less of a stigma attached to the practice of meditation.

Follow this meditation checklist for success:

1. Do it first thing in the morning. Even if you have to wake up earlier, you’ll find the habit is well worth the marginal amount of lost sleep. Can’t seem to get up earlier? Turn off your TV at night and go to sleep earlier. Or, do it before bedtime–it will help you relax so you can sleep more soundly. A ten-minute meditation can make you feel great, but twenty minutes or longer is better.

2. Meditate in a quiet place, where you’ll be free of interruptions. Turn off your phone and computer.

3. Sit cross-legged with your back straight and supported, using a chair or sofa, or against a pillow and the headboard of your bed. Those who wish to exercise more discipline may simply sit on the cold, hard floor, like the ascetics in ancient times.

4. Maintain focus–until you begin to practice the regular habit of meditation, you’ll likely be very tempted to do other things as you sit down to meditate, or your mind will simply wander during meditation. The subconscious mind is very clever and does not want you to detach yourself from your fears and mind drama; it does not want to lose control. Tell yourself as you sit down to meditate, “This is important, everything else can wait.” Also, imagine taking all the concerns and issues on your mind and dumping them into a large box, telling yourself, “I’ll get to those thoughts after I meditate.”

5. Strive to maintain your discipline. Regular meditation is a discipline. In order to have the energy and will to maintain discipline, try reducing sugar consumption and eating more healthfully. Regular exercise and enough good sleep also help.

6. Follow a procedure that works for you. A popular one is this: with your eyes closed, take a deep breath, exhale, and begin focusing your attention on your chest plate. If your mind wanders try slowly counting and see each number appear at the point of your focus. Alternatively, focus on your third eye, the area just above and between your eyes.

7. Ask for help. If you’re having problems getting into a good meditative groove, right before you meditate, make it a habit to ask God, or your guides and angels of the Light (or whomever you pray to) to help you successfully meditate.

8. Remember the goal of meditation, which is to detach from your mind and reposition your focus in the center of your being. You’ll know you’re making process if you feel a growing distance from the judging, active mind. As you detach from your mind,  listen for whispered truths from deep within your being, as if you’re listening for an oncoming train. Over time, you will eventually receive consistently pure insight, untainted by fears and desires.

9. Make the commitment to getting centered through daily meditation, which will allow you to receive the maximum amount of benefits. The daily routine will also make the practice a breeze instead of a struggle, and you’ll be amazed at how easily you’re able to make time for it.

We encourage you to follow this meditation checklist to increase your peace of mind, the clarity of your thinking, self-understanding, and to gain all of the other benefits of regular meditation.

The free version of our Direct Your Destiny e-package includes a Psychic / Meditative State Script to help you get the most from your meditation sessions.

5 Sure Signs of Spiritual Progress

Share Button

Our long-term empirical findings show that you’re here on planet Earth primarily to make spiritual progress. The more progress you make now, the more you’ll be rewarded later, and eventually you’ll complete the cycle of reincarnation.

You can’t control how you’re spiritually tested, but you do have free will to react in a positive way.

How do you react to life’s challenges? We believe there exist distinct signs that indicate a person is making progress in the spiritual game of life. Below we list five.

1. Finally accepting what you can’t change in life, particularly people, while doing your best to change what you can, goes a long way toward spiritual mastery. Trying to change your spouse’s habits, or your friend’s attitude is futile. Doing your best to develop your talents to be more successful earns good karma, but dwelling on missed opportunities is a waste of energy. As a bonus, once you accept that which you have no control over, your peace of mind and happiness increases.

2. Consistently appreciating everything in your life, including the challenges for what they teach you, is a sign that you are becoming spiritually adept. The more you appreciate, the more you express gratitude, the more rewarding your life becomes.

3. Expressing authentic unconditional love on a regular basis is absolutely a sign that you are spiritually progressing. Conversely, conditional love, such as “I’ll love you if you do this,” or attempting to control, shows that a person is not quite getting it. Unfortunately, most people inconsistently express unconditional love in their relationships. But to their credit, it’s not easy to embrace someone with unconditional love who displays a complete lack of respect.

Although we recommend always striving to express unconditional love, it’s quite healthy to constructively express disappointment, annoyance, and other negative emotions, or even use anger in self-defense. Truth be told, if a person walked around every day never expressing conditional love, they’re probably out of their mind.

4. Regularly viewing others (and yourself) without judgment is a very significant sign you are making great strides in your spiritual progress. Similarly, when you suspend judgment it’s easier to see people exactly as they are rather than how you are (i.e., projecting). Of course, everyone judges everyone on a regular basis, but the key is to detach from it, and attempt to suspend judgment.

5. Living in the moment is a key indication you are making spiritual progress. How do you do this? Regular meditation helps a lot. Instead of concerning yourself with the past or worrying about the future, regular meditation will help you remain in the present moment, which is more peaceful and rich. Exercise, art, and sex are other activities that will help. Clearly, excessive living in the moment, as in neglecting your responsibilities in life and abandoning your goals, is to be avoided. Meditating all day, every day won’t allow you to learn your life lessons and accomplish what you’re supposed to.

It’s important to note that nobody constantly expresses all of these virtues without fail (be wary of permanently smiling, so-called gurus who “never” express negativity). You can’t completely eliminate strife and conflict. It is part of life as are anger, worry, and other fear-based emotions. But if you sincerely strive toward the above-mentioned ideals, they’ll eventually be part of your natural way of living and it will be a sure sign you’re making great spiritual progress.

8 Tips to Avoid Ruining Your Love Life in 2014

Share Button

It’s that time of year again. Countless Valentine’s Day ads remind you of your happy love life, or if you’re like most people, your less than perfect romantic life.

Contrary to the implications of this commercial holiday, there’s nothing wrong with being single, or having a non-traditional relationship.

No matter what your love life status, here are some love life tips you can use year-round to make the most of it.

1) Accept how your love life is right now. This isn’t easy, so you’ll have to repeatedly remind yourself, especially when it seems like your circumstances couldn’t get worse. Once you accept being single or your relationship as it is, it will be easier to cherish the good things about your situation, and sometimes that will encourage change for the better.

2) Accept that you don’t need someone else to make you happy. You are all you need, believe it or not. Once you understand this, a relationship becomes an added bonus rather than a narcotic drug you can’t live without. Love addicts experience the crash and yearning for more far more often than the high.

3) Learn to not care about what other people think about your love life. It’s really none of their business. Do what makes you happy, even if it’s not the norm. If you don’t, you’ll have regrets at the end of your life.

4) Don’t fall for the “one and only soul mate” lie. Some love life experts claim to have the key to finding “the one,” “your twin soul,” and other fanciful love life goals. We’ve found through our years of empirical research that everyone has many soul mates, and most of them are not meant to result in a life-long, blissful relationship.

5) Don’t fall for the “together forever” fantasy. Sure, it’s possible, and in rare cases couples do grow old together without great suffering and sacrifices that make them die inside. Unfortunately, most couples who commit at a very young age find that they’re not compatible enough for a traditional relationship after five, ten, or twenty years. Couples in prior generations had to remain together due to sociological and economical reasons. Today, singles and couples have more options, and that’s a good thing. The length of a relationship isn’t important; what you learn and the love you give is.

6) Don’t beat yourself up if you don’t have an ideal relationship, the type of love life that some celebrities seem to have as described in the media. Like an airbrushed photo, what they present to the world and the reality might be two different things. In fact, in some cases, you might be shocked to know the truth about the relationship.

7) Consider karma and fate. Even if you use your free will to do all you can to improve your love life, and you should, things won’t always go as you hope due to the ever-present laws of karma and fate. This doesn’t mean you’re being punished, but it might mean that you’re going through a learning phase now for a more wonderful love experience later.

8) Lighten up and relax! It’s so easy to get caught up in your routine and be stressed out from the responsibilities of life. But if you don’t take “me time” to relax, rejuvenate, and become centered, whether it’s through meditation or other ways, it’s more difficult to present your best, beautiful self to your partner or a new potential love interest.

Beware of These 10 Types of Demons Part II

Share Button

Are there different kinds of demons, and are demons even real? Yes, based on our experience of clearing places and people of dark energy for more than 13 years, we believe so. We didn’t believe in demonic energy prior to our findings, but we now believe that both positive and negative energies exist in the universe, and that there are different entities associated with both sides. In this article, we explore different types of demons and why they target different types of people and situations.

Sexual Orientation Demons

Based on our empirical research, we believe that sexual orientation, like many characteristics, begins with the soul before birth. However, we also believe there exist demons that encourage gay sex as a way of breaking down some heterosexuals, or even gay or bi people who are uncomfortable with their orientation. We believe this to be particularly true if they are abusing alcohol, using drugs, or have great shame and fear about sex due to a strict religious upbringing.

Then there are those who believe homosexuality is a sin and rally against gays, and even gays who are biased against straight people. Any sort of strong prejudice, especially when it leads to a polarized political issue (i.e., gay marriage), which leads to more strife and chaos, we believe can involve demons. The universal demon motto seems to be, “The worse the anger, chaos, and division among people, the better.”

Bad Mood Demons

Everyone has occasional challenging days or longer periods in their lives. It’s easy to become pessimistic when things aren’t going well, but always try to look on the bright side and keep your energy and that imaginary (or real, if you so choose) Light up. Imagining yourself protected with a bubble of Light positively impacts your subconscious mind (your subconscious can’t tell the difference between real and imagined) and actually can have a protective impact on your life. Otherwise, letting pessimism grow and not protecting yourself can make your negative energy a beacon for the little demons to come running.

Religious Demons

There are countless good and even saintly religious people in the world. But those who are influenced by religious demons can be far from it. Religious demons are fueled by the guilt, fear and, or shame of their host, and derive great pleasure in convincing their targets to do terrible things. At the very least, religious demons can encourage their targets to be very intolerant in the name of their religion.

Religious demons also target those (e.g., atheists) who express negative sentiment against religion or New Age tenets.

Drug demons

Any street drug or mind altering prescription narcotic will lower your spiritual protective energy and allow dark energy and entities to attach to you or even possess you in extreme cases. Drug demons have a great appreciation for those who use drugs regularly, for they can allow demons to take complete control of their lives. We believe this is a key reason why addicts have such a difficult time overcoming their addiction.

Demon party

Add excessive alcohol and, or drugs to any of the situations above and the target will be certain to be the host of a demon party. Come one, come all; the weaker the host, the more demons jump on board, and the worse off the person becomes, along with those close to him.

What can you do if you think there may be dark energy intruding in your life? The most important way you can guard against any future interference is to always react with unconditional love and compassion instead of anger or fear, even in response to hatred and prejudice. Responding this way, even if it’s only in your mind, will stop the back-and-forth volley of negative energy demons strive to incite.

Beware of These 10 Types of Demons Part I

Share Button

Do demons exist and if so, are there different kinds of demons? We’ve been clearing people and places of dark energy for over 13 years and we believe the answer is yes to both questions.

We’ve learned that while there exists “good” and “bad” energies due to the polarity of the universe, there seems to be different types of dark energy or demons too. Certain demons flock to certain types of people and situations, and their influence can be anywhere from subtle to disastrous.

Political demons

Everyone has their own political opinions. Then there are those, on both sides of the aisle, who are so biased and fueled with resentment and, or mindless anger that they can’t even have a rational discussion about a political issue. Instead of debating the facts reasonably, they go for the jugular and personally attack anyone who disagrees with them or their politician. The political demons love their anger and how they don’t debate fairly, and enjoy feeding upon and escalating the negative energy.

Racial Demons

Racism still exists, though many Americans aren’t aware that racism in America pales in comparison to racism in other parts of the world (e.g., Asia) and that most of it doesn’t involve those of African descent.

Our findings show that the physical body is just a temporary home for the soul, and that people (their souls) become different races in different lifetimes, though many humans today reject this notion or don’t understand it. Thus, many individuals assume, we believe wrongly, that they only live once, belong exclusively to their race, and select individuals even contend that their race is superior. Add some racial demons to the mix in already tense relations among opposing factions, and the conflict escalates.

Racial demons sometimes also target those who think they’re fighting against racism. Have you ever been falsely accused of racism? If so, the accuser may be dancing unknowingly with racial demons. For those influenced by racial demons, everything is about race and they don’t care if they destroy an innocent person’s reputation or life in their fight against racism. They have no idea that their thoughts are being twisted and distorted by what we believe to be an unseen, yet potent, dark energy.

Relationship, Enemy and Family Demons

Most people have at least one enemy at one point in their lives, and sometimes a family member, former friend, or ex can turn into one. Demons are attracted to conflict and sometimes they target certain people and relationships with a specific goal of chaos.

It’s important to note that we believe conflict is an integral part of the spiritual ecosystem. We’ve witnessed fate in action countless times, and sometimes in order for fate to manifest, bad things happen in life. Those bad things are sometimes helped along by conflict. Just as you can’t completely and forever eliminate negative thinking, terrible weather, or bad people, you can’t completely eliminate conflict.

Sexual Demons

Demons are attracted to extreme emotions; certain sexual acts, like S&M and others involving pain or humiliation, can open one up to dark energy. Sexual promiscuity, while under the influence of drugs or alcohol and, or if the host is already spiritually damaged such as through childhood abuse, can also cause attachment or possession.

So how do you protect yourself from negative energy and demons? Since demons feed on extreme emotions like fear and anger, every time you find yourself reacting negatively or even thinking angry thoughts about someone, stop. Instead, try to express unconditional love and compassion, or at least be neutral, even in response to animosity. Love and compassion will stop the negative energy ping-pong and make the demons go running.

Examples of Karma – True of False Part II

Share Button

After years of many past life regressions, we’ve learned to accept karma as a fact of life, and something that influences everyone, even if they don’t believe in it.

We believe that many people don’t understand the real meaning of karma, which is a reaction from an action that was most often in a past life. It’s not about punishment, but it can be about reward or a lesson.

True or false? Which examples below are truly about karma?

Relationship Karma

Ally dumped her boyfriend Alex for Ted. Six months later, Ted dumped Ally for someone else. Ally had it coming because she dumped someone.

False, it’s not her karma from dumping Alex. It was probably karmic that Ted was to end things, but doing so is not karmically related to Ally’s previous relationship, but it might be if Ted dumped her for Alex.

Janice gets very jealous and has never trusted Jim to be faithful during their six years together. Jim has never cheated or even flirted with anyone else, and Janice hasn’t had this problem in other relationships.

True, this is a karmic situation. In this example of karma, Janice and Jim have shared many lifetimes together in which they’ve both cheated. Janice is reacting to her subconscious memories, even though she has no conscious memory of her past lives.

Sexuality Karma

George grew up in the 1950s, when it wasn’t acceptable to come out of the closet. When his very religious parents found out he was gay at age 16, they kicked him out of the house. He’s lived a difficult life, and harbors a lot of anger about such an intolerant society.

True, it’s George’s tough karma. In this example, the soul that is now George lived a lifetime as a religious leader that persecuted anyone suspected of being gay. George’s soul chose a rough incarnation this time not as a punishment, but in order to learn more about tolerance.

Althea is a 17 year-old out-of-the-closet lesbian who lives in NYC with her very supportive parents and older brother. Her sexual orientation has never really been an issue for her, and her parents have always encouraged her to be who she is rather than trying to conform to the expectations of others. She has not been the target of much homophobia, and on the rare occasion that she does experience it, she shrugs it off because she knows she is a mirror for their own insecurities.

False, it’s not her bad karma. Sexuality is not a big issue for Althea this lifetime, but it was in prior lifetimes.

Karma Related to Being a Parent

19 year-old Allen broke up with 18 year-old Faye. She wanted him back so badly that when he came back to her for sex she agreed and got pregnant on purpose, even though she knew Allen didn’t want to be a parent yet. Due to his new responsibilities, he had to drop out of college and find a full time job.

True, it’s Allen’s karma. In this example of karma, it is not a punishment for breaking up with her, or for wanting sex afterwards, but karma from abandoning Faye and their child in a past life. Faye, by the way, created some negative karma by deceiving Allen.

How to tell if something is karmic? The best way is to do a past life regression and go back to the “root cause” of the issue, but generally, the lesson is that if something causes you great stress and, or anger, it’s probably karmic. The good news is that you have free will to act out of love and make the most of the situation.

Examples of Karma – True or False Part I

Share Button

Karma is defined by dictionary.com as follows: “The cosmic principle according to which each person is rewarded or punished in one incarnation according to that person’s deeds in the previous incarnation.”

We agree with this definition mostly, except that we believe karma is never a punishment from a judging god or anyone else. It can, however, be a lesson chosen by the soul.

The word karma is thrown around frequently these days, and in our opinion, is often misunderstood.

We have a different perception of karma than many people, which is based on many years of past life regressions. As we always say, reincarnation and karma are absolutely linked; you can’t have one without the other.

While keeping in mind the above definition of karma, decide which examples of karma below are true and which are false.

Racial Karma

Robert, a 23 year-old black man, has endured some racism, but not nearly as much as his parents and grandparents have. He doesn’t trust white people and blames them for his lack of success. He’s made it his life mission to fight against racism and is often the one shouting the loudest at racism protests. Unfortunately, he sees racism in many situations where it is absent.

True or false? Are racial issues Robert’s karma? Yes, true. In this example of karma, the soul that is now in the body of Robert had past incarnations as white and very racist, denying opportunity to anyone of color. Robert doesn’t consciously remember those lifetimes, so he projects his guilt and anger onto others.

Gina, a talented, young, black actress, feels fortunate to work steadily, as there are many starving artists in her profession. She’s witnessed many examples of racism, and heard many stories from her older black relatives and friends, but hasn’t experienced a lot of it herself. When she does, she tries not to take it personally and reminds herself that there’s nothing wrong with her skin color, it’s their issue, and they’ll eventually have to deal with it.

This isn’t an example of racial karma, but it is of good karma in general, since Gina has developed her excellent acting skills over many lives.

Money Karma

John, a 33 year-old mechanic, was born into a poor family. Lack of money has always been a problem. He despises “the rich” and feels it’s a great social injustice that some people are wealthy and have more money than they need, while many are poor and can’t afford basic necessities. Nothing makes him more angry than seeing some “greedy, rich jerk” in a car that costs more money than many people make in a lifetime. In his opinion, no one deserves that much money, and they probably obtained it by illegal or immoral means. If he had his way, he’d confiscate all their wealth and give it to the poor.

True or false–is this a case of bad karma for John? True. In this example of karma, John’s soul had past incarnations as a “greedy, rich jerk.” Instead of acknowledging he’s seeing the world as he is (or was, in past lives) and accepting and forgiving that part of himself, he projects it onto other people.

Al was also born into a poor family, but he’s always managed to have everything he needs and money isn’t that important to him. There are things he’d like to buy but can’t afford, like a new car for his wife, but he gets by okay and is happy for the things he does have, like a loving family.

True or false–is this a case of bad karma for Al? False, it is not. Money is not an issue for Al, therefore, it’s not karmic for him.

How do you tell if something is really a case of bad karma? Experiencing past life regression and going back to the “root cause” of the issue is the best way, but generally, if something causes you great stress and, or anger, it’s probably karmic. Fortunately, you have free will to react with love and make the most out of all situations.

How to Get What You Deserve in Life

Share Button

A friend recently told us that he is waking up to the fact that what you think you deserve may not be what you merit, and that it’s a hard lesson to learn.

Although he’s considered successful by almost everyone in his professional and personal life, it was instilled in him early on in his life, and during school, that he deserved the very best. The sky was the limit and he believed it.

Yet as the years went by, he couldn’t break into the six figure salary realm no matter what he did in his career, and his personal life wasn’t free of the challenges that he thought that were beneath him.

In time, as he grew wiser, he realized that his expectations were too high, his income isn’t necessarily a reflection of who he is as a person, and he accepted that what he earns may not equal what he felt he deserved.

Tips to Prevent the Hard Lesson of Finding Out That Getting What You Deserve is Less Than The Best Life Has to Offer

1. Begin to accept that you might very well have exactly what you deserve, at this time. What you think you deserve is your opinion, a completely subjective viewpoint. Set important goals in life, strive every day to achieve them, and know that the journey is often more important than the result.

2. By all means, keep dreaming and dream big, but keep your expectations in check.

The world needs taxi drivers, cooks, construction workers, house-keepers, and other workers. Such professions are as honorable as any other, and your career doesn’t make you more or less equal to anyone; everyone is of the same spiritual essence. How you view your situation can make a significant difference, and in a spiritual sense, things aren’t always as they appear in the mundane world.

For example, someone in a seemingly unimportant job may have an extremely important spiritual role in the lives of people around her. Likewise, someone who society deems a prestigious professional and makes millions per year may be, spiritually speaking, a beginner soul who is not learning his lessons.

3. Accept what you can’t change, but do everything you can to enhance your life and get more of what you want. Develop a detached perspective; do your best to avoid judgment and be grateful for as much as you can in your life.

4. Avoid an excessive sense of entitlement. There is no such thing as inequality. Life is not supposed offer equal outcomes (equal rights and opportunity are another matter).

5. Take glorified inspirational messages in mainstream media and entertainment with a grain of salt, such as the one in the movie “Superman, Man of Steel,” which went something like this: “Superman came to Earth to empower people to rise above all challenges, to become empowered to fulfill their potential and avoid the limits that society places on them.”

Nobody is holding you down, and nobody places limits on you, unless you live in a communist country. Life will always include personal adversity and you have free will to make the most of it.

6. Stop living beyond your means. If you think you deserve the finest life has to offer, you better avoid spending like it unless you have the cash, not credit, to do so. Otherwise, when you find out you don’t deserve the finest life has to offer and lack the cash to pay your bills, you’ll have credit problems.

7. Practice humility, which is spiritual. A humble person never has the shock and disappointment of finding out she’s not the center of the universe, and that she isn’t entitled to what she previously thought.

The good news is that even though you can’t always get what you think you deserve, life becomes more enjoyable when you focus on being grateful for what you have in life instead of what you lack.
