SECRET ONE: Consciousness shapes reality.
Down through the ages, scientists, philosophers, and theologians have offered up varying explanations for human suffering. The most compelling and effective explanation I have found is rooted in this fundamental principle: on a universal scale consciousness shapes reality. As a smaller instance of this universal event, on a personal scale, my consciousness shapes my reality. The quality of my intentions, thoughts, feelings, and actions plays a vital role in my life experience and the conditions around me. Why is this so?

SECRET TWO: NASA Hubble Pic Reality is a web of interrelated energies.
Although the answer has been given in many traditions over the centuries, the field of quantum physics has opened it up for us in the modern age. Through physics we have come to know reality as nested layers of fields within fields. These fields are made up of many types of vibrations which intimately affect each other.

Total interdependence is characteristic of this fluidly energetic universe. What happens in any part or aspect of the universal field reverberates throughout the whole. Therefore, any intention, thought, feeling, or action has wide effects. Repeated intentions, thoughts, feelings, and actions have even more powerful effects. When many people repeat the same intentions, thoughts, feelings, and actions the quality of the whole field changes in fundamental ways. There are many books which articulate this view in detail, our purpose here is to take the basic premise and apply it for maximal positive change.

If reality is interacting fields of energy, what is it that makes our experience positive or negative? What is it that makes for happiness versus suffering?

SECRET THREE: The smooth flow of the universal life force through you creates health and happiness.

chinese sage In ancient China, sages and medical doctors studied reality as fields of energy. They realized that when energy flows smoothly in any part of the field, such as in a human body, that body experiences greater health, happiness, and well-being. They also learned that when energy flow is stagnent, divided, or in any way impeded, that body experiences illness, unhappiness, and misfortune. They discovered a universal life force known as "qi" ("chee"). When qi is integrated, aligned, and flowing smoothly, a person lives according to "The Way of Life." When a person falls out of alignment with the universal life force, there is conflict, disease, suffering, and death.

Yet suffering is also our greatest ally. For when we suffer we are closer to healing than when we dissociate or cease to feel. Suffering signals us to dive deeper to discover the source of imbalance. It alerts us to disruption in our energy flow, so we can address it at the root cause. Suffering navigated wisely leads to greater consciousness and compassion and returns us to integrity and flow. It increases our awareness and our inner skills. Within our suffering we also discover our greatest gifts. For in resolving our own personal imbalances we gain consciousness, knowledge, and skills that we can bring to the world. Because of the interconnected nature of reality, whatever anyone realizes becomes a part of the whole. When you consciously bring your unique perspective and skills to the world, you realize your purpose in being here, now.

When you experience conscious smooth flow in your personal energy field, I call this a Core Energy State. You experience a Core Energy State when: 1) you become conscious of the universal life force within you (you feel your qi) and 2) it flows smoothly through you. Qi flow is smooth when your body, heart, mind, and spirit are synchronized, integrated, and harmonized by the flow of the universal life force. When you experience a Core Energy State you feel a general sense of well-being. You feel relaxed, happy, focused, and inspired. You feel that everything is in its perfect order and all is well.

You can facilitate both your consciousness of life energy and the smoothness of its flow by adjusting your awareness, intentions, thoughts, feelings, and actions. Rather than being a victim of circumstances, you can participate in the creation of your life. Rather than being a slave to reactive patterns, you can consciously choose your life. Your life is meant to be a fantastic voyage of increasing consciousness, passion, and purpose. You are here to discover and cultivate "who you are" and "what you are here to do" for the One Life that we all share. The navigation is in your hands with the fourth secret. Sailing

SECRET FOUR:
Daily Practice is your key to positive change.

Practice is:
the consistent repetition
of an intentional action
to realize your authentic possibilities.

When we recognize why we suffer and see what holds us back, why don't we make inner shifts? It's often because we'd rather stay with the suffering that we know rather than risk the results of change which are "unknown." Exercise your awareness until you gain clear insight into the fact that you are creating stress and suffering by the way you are perceiving your life. When you clearly see that the source of your suffering lies in your intentions, thoughts, beliefs, and habits, they begin to lose their power. You will overcome your personal challenges through deep conscious awareness, loving acceptance, and repeated positive actions to build your authentic possibilities. To challenge your habits of suffering, face them directly, understand the intentions, thoughts, feelings, and actions that give rise to your suffering, and then consciously choose your life. Choose to take daily actions to cultivate the life your soul desires.

Another reason why we suffer is because we don't really know what we truly desire. We often aren't aware of our authentic possibilities: what we are here to do right now. Knowing your authentic possibilities depends upon the quality of your core energetic awareness. Check out my Learn Qigong Meditation and Raise Your Vibration programs for meditations that develop your core energetic awareness. Also, in my programs, The Power of Practice and The Life You Are Meant To Live, I explore this philosophy in detail and give specific instructions on how to connect with "who you are" and fully realize "what you are here to do."

Through daily practice you can shape the life of your dreams.
