With that said and commenting favorably on your blog—it is in the right vein—I would add a kind of caution. Hinting that we must ENDURE the “downs” as a part of being human, seems to divert from the original idea that we have the power OF creation.

Tell someone who has lost a wife, child or a home—- that he should enjoy those wonderful downs. He may have a comment not becoming of our ideas about a benevolent universe. Actually enjoying those things may be the farthest thing from his mind in such a situation. I am not saying that the lesson may not have been necessary to move him from his sticking point—-but enjoying it may not apply in such a case.

I understand the idea of enjoying the downs—but I believe that the reason for any down stems from self-pity masquerading as self importance—resulting in a belief system about this illusion. The downs are only enjoyable because they are reminders to think the opposite.

When you see a bill come in the mail—that may be difficult to pay—it is a reminder that your thinking made the difficult bill in the first place. Therefore you can smile and each time you see it, think it “PAID”. Then you must develop the faith that somewhere—on some plane of actual reality—-not yet visible to us—the bill is paid. At some point, when the balance of thinking has moved from the, “unpaid terrible bill” to the, “Easily Paid Bill”—it will physically manifest as paid.

The rest of the story—-because we all have developed our own particular perception of this illusion—the trials we see are hand picked by the universe. Once again you may smile at a bad situation knowing it was tailored specifically for you. If what you think is who you are—then what you see is what you are. One does not see what one wants to see—one sees what he is—his core beliefs.

If you see lack—you have a belief in lack. If you detach from the lack—remember that it is impossible for such a multidimensional luminous being as yourself to have lack —-then you simply have to think abundance. You are not changing you—-simply the belief.

The end of the story—-No one may fathom the mystery of a human life. We do not live one life after another—but an unknown huge number all at one time—each set of experiences in each separate life contributing to the overall growth of the entity all at once. The Blog indicated
that no one has all “ups”. That is probably true given the level of vibration we generally experience and manifest. However, we must remember that the whole purpose of participating in this illusion—thousands and thousands of lives all interacting at one time—-is to finally bring the valley to an even plane with the mountain. So,—it is possible to have only “ups”—highly improbable, however, at this point in the evolution of the pool of consciousness.

To end this seemingly unending diatribe—I will borrow from Carlos again. ” The flaw with words is that they always make us feel enlightened, but when we turn around to face the world, they always fail us and we end up facing the world as we always have, without enlightenment.”

He goes on to say that it is better to act than to talk. He says one gets a new description of the world when he acts. The acting he is speaking of is not the manipulation of solid things in the world. It is the act of deliberate thinking—the act of deliberate creation. To accomplish that, the balance of the act of deliberate thinking must be on the side of abundance—this may require an awareness of self-talk from second to second.

To have your desire is to lose self-importance—self pity —–and remember in every second the power you wield as a co-creator with All That Is.

Opportunities abound see them and live them.

Yes, you have some good thoughts in your comments… but I just wanted to point out a couple of things.

You said, “There is no need to suffer and struggle. We can get off the roller coaster and get into a rocket going straight up if we desire to. We see it everyday with these young people on the internet.”

First off, we’re saying the roller coaster is NOT about suffering or struggling, it’s about embracing the opportunities to experience, live, learn, grow and develop.

Secondly… the rocket only goes straight up for so long, and then it crashes down. Ups and downs are a part of life and the more extreme the ups, the more extreme the downs as a result.

Third… I know a lot of the internet marketing gurus, and while you may look at them and think their lives are 100% perfect… it’s just like celebrities, there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that we don’t know about.

Hollywood celebrities have beauty, fame, money… but so often they have terrible relationships, getting married and divorced time and time again.

John Demartini says it’s all about values. You excel in the areas you value most, whether that be money, relationships, parenting, or what-have-you. And, we don’t excel in the areas we don’t value as much, it’s all about balance.

There was one incident where I saw this intense fear in him as he was going through his divorce. His little house of cards was collapsing quickly. He had a woman on the side who he kept right out in the open for at least 7 years. I think in some ways many were drawn to him just like a bug to a zapper. They knew his true nature but it was their curiocity that drew them in.

I learned quite a bit from this experience. To me it was a facinating study of human nature. To those who believe that money is the root of all evil, its not the money, its the intent behind the money. Initially his motivation was one of not wanting to be poor but then his fear of being poor is what drove him.

The one thing this reminds me of is you better treat people nicely on your way up as you will surely meet the same people on your way down.

If we could only really ‘get’ that, we’d be free of all fear and pain.
