The Seven Tells

How many time have we heard ourselves say, "Why did I do that?" or "What was I thinking?" or "What the heck was that?" As we attempt to live well in our fast-paced  3-D world and all it's obligations, we wind up trying to survive in this chaotic, mysterious world, a world that often pulls all kinds of surprises on us and we catch ask ourselves asking these very same questions and a few more, even crucial questions. I have, as a practitioner, whittled most of the problems people have coping down to these 7 fundamental questions. They are of course, rhetorical questions and whether answerable at the moment of not, I see these questions an opportunity to regroup and gain insight into healing or adjustment. If you find yourself asking any of these questions to yourself, look at it as an opportunity. Upon realization of our momentary descent into frustration or misunderstanding, we can get re-adjusted and ascend back into a personal moment of awakening and despite living in the mundane routine of daily life, like walking, driving, socializing, doing anything routine  we can perk up and asks ourselves to literally and esoterically wake up and be aware.    

Talking to yourself. We often make fun of people who talk to themselves, and the cliché is we all talk to ourselves, we are just not suppose to answer ourselves. 

If you find yourself asking yourself any of the following questions, it's time to look deeper into your life, and realize it's time to see how you got there and what you can do to get out of there. I wonder if we realize how often these crop up on us.

1. Why is this happening to me again?

2. Wow, I didn't see that coming,

3. My life is just one, big long boring routine.

4. Look, that's a problem, when is someone else going to fix it?

5. Hmm, I don't remember the last time I felt love 

6. Wow, why isn't my magic working any more?

7. Gee Whiz, I don't need this. . .

What are tells? These are verbal slips of the tongue that let you know that you are having an unconscious or subconscious block in your ability to integrate whole awareness. In one's personal work in their "Sadhana" or Path and Practice, these "tells" are indicators to watch for that signal you that you have gone from NOW HERE to NO WHERE. These tells are quiet desperations blurted out of the mouth when the heart and head are not connected. In dire straights  these tells are a way for you to transfigure you experience of  fear, disconnection or frustration back to your Flow, your Zone your authentic presence.  When you ARE connected the answers to these questions are become an experience, Living Acts of Grace or Spiritual awareness and even God Consciousness.     

1. Why is this happening to me again? This is  the greatest of all escape trances, a great hiding place, a place that many people stay for years at a time. Antidote, "You can not do the same thing over and over and expect a different result." If you find that you keep repeating and end, or the means to an end, and you don't like it, then stop doing that. Easier said than done, but, you must take responsibility for winding there again and again and again. It is human nature to adopt a new plan, like diet, or a new regime or religion or a new rules, but alas they don't work. The miracle comes when we discover that one can not take ON more, but must eliminate the contaminant. Why is this happening to me again? because when you got the fork in the road you choose the wrong path, or you took the wrong advice or you forgot to choose the 1st principle of Spirit which is, you didn't choose the choice that included LOVE. If you find yourself saying to yourself, Why is this happening to me again? It is not because God is trying to tell you something, it is because you made a choice that brought back to the same place. Nothing is set in concrete. Remember the Fibache move.

2. Wow! I didn't see that coming! Well, 99 times out of a 100 you did. You not only saw it coming - you were given a series of messages loud and clear beforehand which we call Insights. For one reason or other you ignored the insights and waited until it became "A Lesson." Hey, wake up,  Lessons are painful. Avoid them as they waste time and opportunities to experience love and clarity and better yet, even more insights. Instead, listen to the symbols, clues and insights that come to you in your magical milieu on daily basis and live as living love and light. Fact is, you are brilliant and a Shaman, and the Shaman knows this first and above all things, "There is no part of anything that isn't connected to everything" and like it or not, admit it. You are not totally clueless, you always do know. In fact, on some level.  on many levels you know everything 2 hours, 2 days and 2 weeks in advance.  Yes, I will repeat it, on some level you know everything 2 hours, 2 days and 2 weeks in advance. The person inside you wants to either deal with it or not. Don't deal with it and then act like it's a surprise. .. yeah right, that's  called denial.  

3. My life is just one big, long boring routine. Ok, some routine is good, the sun and stars, sleep and food, work and play, some routines are good. But if you catch yourself being bored than you have confused two virtues perseverance and Holding a rhythm with masochism. being a martyr in your mind is the fist step in vanity and self deception. If you are going to be cautious about something then be cautious about routine, break it up, be something new, inspire yourself to break the mold and find out why your spirit is hiding. Solution, talk to your Psyche and your Egoic Self and your  Higher self and be cool, be honest ask them what's up. They may not agree but they deserve the right to dialogue and negotiate. Be inspired and create, maintain and let go. Generate, Operate and dissipate. GOD, wow, you are a GOD in a way. When you get out of the routine then the Guides and Angels and GOD say, Hey, now here is someone we can use!  

4. Wow, look at that, that's a problem, when is someone going to fix it? This is the best of all tells, it's an indication that you are awake and being your true self. You see a problem? Then guess what? You may be the ONLY ONE who does. Time to tell someone else. Don't wait, they may not see it at all. You may have just recieved a blessing of such Spiritual Genius that may change the destiny of the whole work, (or not). See a problem?  You can fix it yourself or delegate. Don't delay. The universe sent you a message and it's time to share it. 

5. Hmm, I don't remember the last time I felt love. Wow, this one is a doozey. And no doubt the single most important one of them all... What does it mean to feel love? Well, there are several kinds of love, carnal, brotherly, spiritual and others, but they have one thing in common (and it ain't the mind), it's "The Thymus Gland". When the Thymus gland is stimulated (about 8 different ways) love becomes an experiential and cooperative endocrinal event, a LOVE EXPERIENCE which affects your thoughts, emotions, health and especially OTHERS. making sure you have access to love in your life will prolong your health and healthy ideas. People heal faster at home than in the hospital. Old people live longer and have less depression when they have a pet. Singles look better, work better and get more creative when they gain a partner or love interest. But most of all. love is like an access code to God secrets wonders and mysteries and you can't get in them with out the doorway of love. Solution find and keep new ways of finding love in your life. 

6. Why isn't my magic working any more? This is very mysterious statement to most civilians since they don't understand the way the word magic is being used. Each person is born with a potential and pre-program which gives them access to their gift. A gift is something you can do well, either for yourself or others and your gift defines you and sets you apart and even above others and the mundane. Each person has something or many things than brings them luck, charm, grace and connection ( from ) the universe to and for others. Your magic is something that when you add 2 & 2 you get 22 instead of 4. Discovering your magic is like winning the lotto, losing your magic like getting a flat tire in the rain. Solution, find your magic, enbracing it as your personal arcanum and then find ways to keep it. Your magic is your Path, keeping your magic alive is your Practice. 

7. Geez, I don't need this. Ok, the new age has taught many people that everything happens for reason. Well, that was taught because many people , too many people were asleep to the fact that many things that happened did have a deep and profound connection to something else that part of their magic or something along the lines of kismet and grace. Now that you have groked that everything happens for a reason, un-learn it. Something happened because the world can't be totally significant for you 100% of the time, especially if you aren't going to work at being significant 100% of the time. Accidents happen, other people can interfere, sometimes things just happen and to look for meaning in a random event is like looking for a black cat in the dark when there is no black cat. It's ok to reject something if you don't like it, it's ok to reject if it doesn't feel right or it's not part of your assignment or your archetype or your program or your magic. Sometimes something that happens is just plain nonsense. It's ok to call it nonsense and walk away. Just walk away. If you don't need it, don't make it need you.

I found that by asking some questions we may not have the answer at hand and some questions like "what was that", is reasonable one since we don't know everything and it's good to ask, but there are other questions that we ask that are sign s that something is array within is, that we have disconnected ourselves from our Zone, our FLOW or authentic ness, our Magic, our grace call it what you like and that departure is often so slow, so subtle that only when we find ourselves way out of it do we notice we are not longer in it and there are TELLS that TELL  us we are now no longer here. That place I call here, the zone, the place I call NOW HERE. what a great place to be. The other place, which I call NO WHERE, is still somewhere, but that place while on earth is NOT FOR ME, and do it means, experientially that I am in my mind, into he past, in my fear, in the future, in my projections, in my fantasy and the list goes on, but it means I am no longer NOW HERE so I call it NO WHERE. There are tells that tell me I am NO WHERE and so here is the list again and an explanation of the 7 tells and how I relate to them.
