Our inner world gets mirrored in our outer world. What we truly think ultimately gets mirrored in how our relationships are like. Our true beliefs come from our subconscious – rather than the conscious – mind. And so we may have no conscious awareness that we are holding a certain belief. Hence, to know what our core beliefs are, we just need to investigate how our life has been like.

In Gregg Braden’s The Divine Matrix, he shares about the Five Ancient Mirrors of Relationship. I find an understanding of it helpful when we start to analyze the mirrors of our own lives. According to Coptic, Gnostic and Essene spiritual texts, we are shown a series of mirrors that we will face at some point in our lives. The Five Ancient Mirrors of Relationship are listed in the order that we usually learn them. We recognize the most obvious ones and allow the deeper ones to emerge in time. The Five Ancient Mirrors of Relationship are as follows:

Curiosity as a Path to Abundance

I think, at a child’s birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift should be curiosity. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt

My husband Warren and I have been traveling around the world since 2010. It took a couple of years of serious saving and downsizing to make it happen, and during that lean time you could say we were a bit challenged when it came to entertainment options.

How to Jump-Start a Change in Consciousness

How would you like to jump-start a change in consciousness?

Well, the answer can be found in Gregg Braden’s book, The Divine Matrix: Bridging Time, Space, Miracles and Belief. In the The Divine Matrix, Gregg Braden lays out 20 keys about the universe. One of the keys is key #16 on how each of us contributes to collective consciousness. I have found it interesting to understand how it only takes a minority to create an impact on the larger population and how it can be measured so precisely.

“Key 16: The minimum number of people required to ‘jump-start’ a change in consciousness is the square root of 1% of a population.”

Increasing Gratitude and Awareness of Abundance in Your Life: The Benefits and How-To

“Abundance is not something we acquire. It is something we tune in to.” Wayne Dyer

This guest article is submitted by Michele.

One of the greatest gifts I have given to myself is the conscious awareness of the beauty and abundance in my life. All this awareness led to an increased level of gratitude. I think this is a natural progression. I think gratitude and awareness of abundance are inextricably linked.

By definition, abundance means plentiful. But it also means fullness: a fullness of spirit that overflows. Gratitude is this fullness. And that which overflows is easy to give away.

10 Depression Symptoms: Warning Signs to Look Out For

Depression symptoms are more intense than just fleeting moments of sadness. It is human to feel blue every now and then but when it comes to depression, you are in a vibrationally low state of being for an extended period. Over time, you could identify yourself with your depression symptoms so much that living with them feels normal.

Being depressed creates energy leakage. When severe, you can possibly lose the ability to function and to perform the most routine of tasks. You would rather confine yourself in your cave.

When sinking into despair becomes severe, it can turn into clinical depression. In extreme cases, depression can drive a person to suicide. This was what happened to my friend, Arch.

“Depression is the inability to construct a future.” – Rollo May

12 Ascension Symptoms: What Are You Experiencing

“Many ancient traditions worldwide maintain that humans not only inherently possess the potential for fully incarnating light at the physiological level, but that some have already achieved it, and millions more will do so in the very era in which we live.” – Sol Luckman

As I have found, ascension symptoms can be uncomfortable and disruptive to one’s usual daily functions. The symptoms are experienced due to a transmutation of carbon energies into more refined crystalline energies. The integration of an upgrading of energies into the physical body is what causes the discomfort.

A No-nonsense Guide to Ascension

“We’re living the completion of a 5,125 year long cycle of time–a world age–that the ancient Maya calculated would end with the winter solstice on December 21, 2012.” Gregg Baden

© Benjamin Haas at Dreamstime

Ascension in 2012 is not available to lightworkers, healers, meditators or the new age folks alone. It is available to every being (including all other non-human friends) in the universe. It is something that affects everyone not just individually but as a whole. Accordingly, we are in an epic time whereby we are given the chance to ascend while in our physical bodies.

I have to state that I am by no means an expert on this topic but I hope to contribute with a balanced perspective. For an increased understanding, you may wish to refer to materials by Gregg Baden, Dolores Cannon, Karen Bishop and channeled information that you have discerned to be reliable. Most of their findings corroborate, with some differing on the specifics.

How to Release the Ego from Struggle

Unwilling to back down from a conflict or argument?

Find it hard to forgive and forget…..but finding it easy to point and blame?

It is always someone else’s fault?

Feeling hot and bothered, and experiencing an intense need to justify your actions?

Well, ask yourself if it is your ego wanting to be in control.

“If you want to reach a state of bliss, then go beyond your ego and the internal dialogue. Make a decision to relinquish the need to control, the need to be approved, and the need to judge. Those are the three things the ego is doing all the time. It’s very important to be aware of them every time they come up.”
– Deepak Chopra
