Invisible Principles at Work

Invisible Principles at Work

After years of spiritual searching—pulling away, searching again—then giving up on the powers of something greater than I at work, I have come to the conclusion that invisible powers work in my life daily. I can’t put a name to them, because any word would be too miniscule. I see these powers daily in the brush of a cool wind, the beauty of a flower petal, or smile of a stranger.

Mostly, though, I see invisible powers in synchronicity—in the way life interweaves with ease and intricacy. Years will pass and I will visit an old friend. As if time didn’t exist, the friend will have experienced the same path I had traveled, but from a different perspective. Our lives, though they have been separate, have never really moved from the tightly braded knot that life somehow weaves using all of us.

Coming to the understanding that everything happens for a reason and that invisible powers work on our behalf is the only means by which we can make sense of a vastly confusing world. Chaos seems to be the prime ingredient of every human day. If only but for a few minutes daily, we could come out of our ego selves and experience the world from above in meditation, we could get a glimpse of the vast network of principles needed to make a chaotic world look simple and miraculous.

I don’t need to look at all the bad in the world when I know that, for some reason, all of it is working together to create for my soul the perfect breeding ground for experiential knowledge. From the time I was mugged with a machete in NYC to getting my first acting role, to moving to Nashville, to becoming a hypnotherapist—everything had a reason.

This blog has been a place where I see divine destiny taking place in my own life. From my own source of experiences and lessons, I have helped thousands of people, mostly people I don’t even know personally. You may ask me, how do you know what to write or what is appropriate to share?

All that I can tell you is that when I sit down to write this blog, it is the only time in the day I absolutely know my purpose. It is as if a divine dictum had been placed before me and I simple answer, yes.

Could your purpose be as simple as saying yes to a dream or a vision? I think it may be.

I had spent my entire life searching for a publishing deal, an acting job, and a singing contract, only to find that what I needed was a reason to get up in the morning. Though the blog is a great venture and spiritual duty, I also feel that life supports me every day with my work as a Life Coach and Clinical Hypnotist. The two experiences together generally get me through the day with happiness and purpose.

I also noticed that as I have let go of waiting for the finale or the result of everything I do. I get the feeling that being on a path is vastly more important than getting to the goal line.

As I experience the NOW in every day, I also find others who can share my joy and laughter on that path with the same ease. Because I have found my peace, my life has attracted wonderful friends and clients who find their perfect space in the intricate weave of my life.

Has their space always existed in my divine purpose? Have I been simply waiting for my purpose for the characters and plot of my singular play to begin? I only know this, if I let life unfold by stepping into it and playing my part.

Start a Chain Reaction of Good

Start a Chain Reaction of Good

“Pay it forward” became a phrase people began to use after a movie about the act of one good deed changing a series of people’s lives for the better. A simple act of kindness or doing what your heart tells you to do—instead of your ego mind—can, in fact, often lead to a place of a magical chain reaction of events where love becomes the catalyst for great change not only for you, but for the world.

How clear are you on your place in the world of doing good? Do you start off every day, waking up and thinking: I just need to get going, get to work, make money, and pay my bills? Or do you ask Spirit to lead you to the best path for the ultimate good of the world? The latter is certainly a harder choice. But if you choose divine purpose, your life will have more meaning than you ever thought it could?

About five years ago I read a Buddhist story about prayer. An explanation of selflessness was disclosed in the magic of doing what the world needed as opposed to fulfilling our own worldly desires. I realized then, that I had to make a choice daily to overcome my ego mind and seek to uncover, perhaps, sometimes a bitter pill to swallow to create the magic that is often called good.

As a result, I made a prayer altar in my room. I placed on it a large quartz crystal, a couple Christian relics, a Ganesh, a few holy objects that people have given me over the years, some of whom had passed away. I also placed a candle in the center. Every morning I stand or kneel before the altar and ask God to fill my heart with great purpose. I ask that I could put aside my own needs for the needs of the world.

Sometimes I fulfill my destiny and the will of the greater purpose. Sometimes I choose my own happiness instead. I’m not always successful, but I must say that in the past five years, almost every day I have said that prayer and intended to do my best. As a result, I stay in a place where I realize that I am in a world where Spirit has weaved a magical web of stories and lives that will ultimately end in Divine Destiny, probably even if I am not the one choosing good.

One of the ways I know that I am in God’s will is synchronicity. When I find myself in the midst of purposeful events that occur in ways that speak volumes to divine intention, I know I am on the path that is my destiny.

Today, I had one of those days. I went to church as I normally do with my mother. The preacher spoke of creating love in our lives. In his sermon he made reference to the book, “The Velveteen Rabbit.” It just so happened one of the singers in the special music this morning was a man I used to date. On my birthday he gave me a copy of the “Velveteen Rabbit.” I thought, what are the chances of something like this happening? He gave me the book six or seven years ago. And yet, God had intended to create this perfect moment for me today to realize that I was not lost in sea of madness, but was in His perfect will.

I have a deal with God that, if I give my heart and life for the will of the universe, that God will take care of my needs according to the riches in heaven and ultimately on earth. When I loose track of my spiritual goals, I always come back to this promise.

The past few months have been incredibly difficult financially. It seemed that everything that could possibly break or malfunction happened all at once, to the tune of twenty-one thousand dollars worth of bills.

In times past, I would have bit my lip and worried myself to death about how I would deal with all of the bills. But as of this week, the only means of dealing with my finances that I had to do was charge Peter to pay Paul. But in the end, bills were all paid and nothing was owed to any bank or person. I would say that this is a miracle working in my life to show me the wealth of good always giving to provide for my life and my mother’s.

Every day, part of passing the torch of good is actually writing this blog. I try to help people see Spirit’s work in my life and those who are close to me, so that you can also believe and trust in the power of Good in your own life.

I pray now that whomever God has reading this blog has read it by divine intervention. So, if this blog is something that has crossed your path today, close your eyes right now and know that God has you in His gentle hands and is tending to your every need according to His riches in Glory.

And so be it!
