We live two lives at all times and the most important one is usually less cared for. My master shaman would say that we have one life in front of the eyes and another behind them. By behind he meant our internal world. As my Shamanic training advanced, I verified that everything outside of us actually reflects everything that is already going on within us.

There is a system I’ve mentioned here before, the one of the three concentric circles. External reality is measured in Shamanism, by three levels: Level 1, is whatever is in your personal space, level 2, is anything you’d need to physically walk up to and level three are physical things you can see but cannot touch (Ie. the Sun, birds, top of mountains, etc.). Internal reality adopts a similar process, but backwards. Internally, level 1, are thoughts you have on the surface of your consciousness, level 2, are thoughts you need to make an effort to call in or concentrate on and level 3 are thoughts, ideas and visions that exist within you but have not been explored yet. In shamanic language we call level 3, both internal and external, “invitations”. Meaning, consciousness will literally invite you to explore certain experiences and it depends on your thinking, feeling and doing if you move in that direction.

If this idea makes sense, then anything in your life is possible, the only effort is in your attention and intention. In making sure you understand that what you focus on will gravitate, densify and solidify towards your actual life experience. I can confidently share with you that even knowing and living by this principle, practicing it is much harder than it sounds. Especially because we are surrounded by other people going through the same process unknowingly and they can be very influential just by their normal human relation to us.

One of the most useful tools I’ve discovered to not get entangled in a reality that is not satisfying to you is to give everyone else the big “F” word!

Yes, of course, I mean to forgive them. This automatically releases all previous negative attention that was given to that unwanted area. In any situation or information you encounter that upsets you, immediately forgive it. This action instantly diverts from you the direction of a bigger unseen event that is undesired headed your way. Actually forgiving people and events from the past instantly illuminate your future.

Speaking of illumination, the fastest way to be illuminated into a state of grace is to consciously decide to be grateful. It does not matter what you are grateful for, we are working with inner energy here, the only thing that matters is vibrating / being in that state. May your life be a constant creation of Light and Love.
