Programming the Universal Mind
I believe that we can do a certain amount of programming the Universal Mind.
In my life and the lives of some I know, when real clarity is achieved by an individual or collective mind, it communicates with Universal Mind. This might sound way out, but it is my reality, and has also worked for others.
Examples, you say? I determined around twenty-some years ago to become as clear as I could on my "life purpose", figuring that the clearer I got the more my mind and life could reflect it. I started out with "helping people" and tried to fulfill that well-intentioned generality for a few years. I was indeed provided with many opportunities to help people, professionally and personally.
Along the way I discovered some shortcomings to this statement of my life purpose: for one thing, I needed to specifically discern what was really help. And which people to help. And, was I included in the broad category of "people"? In other words, was it ok to have "helping myself" as part of my life purpose? And, how was I best at helping people? Should I focus on certain ways of helping? And what the heck am I helping people (including myself) to DO?
So I tried to answer these questions as they arose, as best I could at that time, (understanding that the human mind as we've been taught to use it is way too limited to see the big picture in any case), and act on my best guesses.
Each time I did this it took me somewhere I wouldn't have gotten if I hadn't trusted/acted on these temporary answers. Example: At one point I concluded that one way to help people was to create contexts in which they could get in touch with their emotions and become more free with them. As I am a singer, I reasoned that music could be a vehicle through which this could happen. I moved to NYC to study vocal music and become a healing vehicle through the field of opera.
It didn't work the way I thought it would. I studied and auditioned for several years in the Big Apple, trying out for the Met and New York City Opera as well as many lesser known companies. I ended up singing twelve lead roles for smaller opera companies and almost inadverdently building a therapy/healing/life coaching practice as a way to help folks and pay the bills until opera became a paying job (which it never did).
But listen to this! In the process I learned to sing in such an emotionally expressive and technically proficient way that I've sung in churches, temples, Native American ceremony, Buddhist ritual, and other spiritual contexts, and in the process of recording my first CD "TRUE VOICE", I hired a wonderful producer whom I ended up marrying and being so happy with for the last four years that I can hardly believe it. AND, my new husband and I have started a new recording label and performing group (www.healingraingroup.net) to perform, record, and disseminate music with a healing function.
This blog is not all about me but I want to give examples of clarity programming Universal Mind. In fact, if any readers have examples from their lives please add them in comments.
Blessings to all readers.

Many people try to achieve goals. Most fail. Some strive, work hard and plan for all the details yet they achieve little or nothing at all. Others strive, work hard, plan and achieve huge success. Yet there are a few individuals who do little else than take small steps and seem to achieve a great deal with what seems like effortlessness. What is the difference between these people and which one would you like to be?
Most members of the human race fall into two categories - those who live in the past and those who live in the future. Most live in the past. Many of these are the people who achieve very little in their lives and are so fearful of the future that they dare not strike out to get anything. They are the under-achievers who hang onto bad episodes in their lives and either relive them time and again or look at new situations as similar potentialities. They say things like "all men are deceivers" or "all women are interested in is money" or "I can't do it. I tried before and it didn't work so why bother!". Due to bad experiences in the past they believe that all future events will turn out the same way if they dare to go after what they want.
The other type of person lives in the future. This type tends to create more of the things they want in life. They have a vision of where they want to go and exactly how they are going to get there. They work diligently at making concrete plans and they pursue those plans with a persistent ferocious appetite for success. These people are the high achievers - The Richard Branson and Bill Gates of the world. These people have much to teach us about setting and achieving goals.
However, there is a third type of person who almost goes unnoticed. They are the person who takes life in its stride and yet achieve most of what they want. I am sure you know of such a person in your life that just seems to saunter through life and yet they always come out on top. Or a person who you hear of that has decided to open a shop. You meet them a few months later and they have three shops all doing well! So what makes these people so successful and if they aren't living in the past and aren't living in the future where are they living?
I suppose you guessed it! Whether they are consciously aware of it or not they are living in the present. It is in the 'living' present that we have our greatest power. Everything happens in the present. You live your entire life there - even if your mind does not!
By becoming more aware of the present and by 'accepting' it as it is we are much more in control of our emotions and focus. When we live in the past we are fearful of making bad choices and/or getting hurt. We do not wish to recreate the past again! When we live in the future we can also be fearful of what might happen. But even if your future vision is full of power and worthy of working towards many people can, and often do, get stuck there. By constantly reaching for bigger and better goals they fail to enjoy what they have in the moment.
If you wish to start living a life that is almost effortless begin first by living in the present. Accept your situation the way it is and then you can enjoy what you have. Your focus changes from a memory of what was or a vision of what might be to a realization of what is. You become much more empowered to then see the beauty of life and also look at where you wish to make changes. But to make changes you must first accept the situation as it is. Trying to escape from your present only increases your focus on your problems by creating resistance to what is. Accept your life as it is now. Make no judgement, just accept it and then you will be free of doubt, worry, pain and fear. For you only experience these things when you live outside the 'moment'. subliminal
