Manifest a Beautiful Life Despite The...
(There will always be challenges and there will always be opportunities)
by KhaazRa MaaRanu
Hello, first of all, you should be very thankful to be here!
You could actually be history right now. A thought in the past. One of your loved ones could be fortunate enough to be reading this letter, yet thinking about the moments they shared with you when you "were" here. So, with that, take a short pause to be GRATEFUL.
We often take for granted the fact that someone, some energy or greater power has to do the work in waking us up every morning.
It is easy for you to complain, moan and groan about what is not right. What you don't have. Who did this to you and how you deserve and "demand" so much more. Yes, that is easy.
Then there is the group of people that has as there focus, to correct all the ills in our society or community and in the process, save the world. They tend to be reactionary and focus on the negative issues of the world. My goodness, do I feel for them and this type of focus.
Maybe it is just my personality, yet I think it is a combination of nurturing as well as my conative instinct and spiritual make-up that I was born with. Being calm, rational or always willing to resolve issues via peaceful compromise or any other resolution has been a strength of mine for some time. Even to the point of reaching out to others for their opinion of a situation. Constantly looking for resolution and answers. This does not mean that it always works out for me, it is just one method of
how I approach challenges.
This calm demeanor that I have exist up to this minute, where at one time, others around me became irritated because they thought I did not care when we were seemingly in the middle of a storm. It is so popular and justified to lose emotional control and just flip out in our society, to do and say whatever you want out of anger. I even wondered why I could not get angry like so many others.
I would ask myself,
..'are my hormones on the decline? Am I a whimp? What is it I thought.' Later on, after studying with an ancient spiritual society, I learned that these storms were merely crossroads. Events that help us grow or shrink in our spiritual fortress.
They are events that we are supposed to learn something from and not just react to every challenge that is put before us.
Here is where perception has a great impact on what we project via our lens. I am calling it our human 3-D video camera. I remember something very interesting from a well respected friend of mine by the name of Isiah that lived in New Jersey. He was a little older than I, carried himself in a very mannerable way, always polite, genuine nice guy and had great communication skills.
Now, he was also a Jehovah Witness and a very devout one at that. He was spreading the gospel with absolute conviction, yet still very humble. Something not too common today. Some people take the spreading of the gospel literally by using the "sword" sort of speak.
It was 1995 and Isiah was teaching myself and others that according to his word, his book and teachings, that the
world would be coming to an end by the year 2000 due to what he called "the rapture". Maybe some of you can recall this gospel. Knocking on doors every weekend in groups to help save your soul. Even though some of us may not subscribe to such a belief, we must agree that they were a unit and very passionate about their convictions. Isaiah really believed the world was coming to an end in the year 2000. Even the massive Y2K chaos was considered as proof to help place fear in our hearts. Heck, I ordered stock piles of dehydrated foods with air tight containers, gas masks, night vision goggles, hunting knives, etc... I was ready to live like Wolverine. The real life Rambo. I placed tons of energy into that preparation. All based on fear. By the way, alot of people got paid off of my fear.
This explained why Isiah did not go to school or further educate himself. What would be the point of waisting time he said '..if the world was coming to an end by the year 2000'. Isiah said '..we only have time to get our life right for the rapture.' The thinking was that 'all other desires or aspirations need to be placed aside and we need to work on our souls'. Now, exactly what does getting your soul right mean, to whom and based on what?
Most of my associates and I did not believe him, yet it still caused many of us to create an unconfirmed fear in our minds. We could not disprove nor prove what he was saying. Some of us believed in another "belief". Another religions version of the rapture and I tell you, many people got made lots of money off of these beliefs as well. Too many of Isaiah's friends that were in his faith lived life as though they were sitting by a clock that told them exactly how many hours and minutes they had left to live before the rapture.
How do you think most people would live if they were told that their life would end in 5 years? Would they live it up and be the best that they could or would they give up and go out like a firecracker that is a dud? Would they allow the spark and passion to fade out? Would they live it up and drink excessive amounts of alcohol, sodas and eat tons of artificial flavors? Would they say, "what the heck, I am going to die anyway?"
How many people do you think would actually try to optimize their life, even though they were told it would end soon?
Have you ever been paralyzed based by some type of fear? If so, what were you prevented from doing? How long? Why? And what are you doing now? We want to hear from you. Send us an email.
Interestingly enough, I bumped into Isaiah exactly 3 years later at a party. It was 1999, one year from the rapture. A party? Jehovah Witnesses were forbidded from partying. Well, this is what I was told by a Jehovah Witness. They were supposed to be getting their lives right for the rapture.
The only reason I noticed him is because this guy was dancing his shoes off. One of those dancers that literally moves every part of his body and without concern for onlookers or those that can't dance. He looked like he was having the time of his life. I walked up to him and greeted him. He was smiling from ear to ear, like a child in a candy store. He had just danced with a beautiful voluptuous woman that had a figure that could
hypnotize the Pope.
So, he was all smiles...
He told me that he was no longer a Witness for Jehovah and was now living La Vida Loca and that the world was no longer coming to an end. Imagine that and just like that! Our mind-set and reality can change in an instant. Now talk about rapture... I just smiled and watched him
live La Vida Loca.
I wonder how those people that believed as he did were doing? Did they feel like the most valuable resource that we have was waisted on focusing on the doom and gloom. The Rapture. The day when we would be sentenced to hell or paradise.
I too must admit that there have been some really rocky moments in my life. Even times when the situation seemed so bleak that the fear and focus of it literally paralyzed me in both mind and body.
Have you ever put on hold those things that you knew you needed to do? Like going to school, opening that business, writing the business plan, exersing, falling in love,
making your health and happiness a priority, despite what is happening around you? Can you relate, can you feel me?
In hindsight, too much of my time has been waisted focusing on the doom and gloom. Waiting and even preparing for whatever form this doom and gloom comes in. Sometimes we focus too much on what we perceive as doom and gloom in the past. I often hear alot of people say, "I waisted xxx years with this person". Well, you could look at it another way as well. It is better than holding the energy of bitterness deep inside. Those years could have been learning years. Now the question you should ask yourself is, "what did I learn?".
Not what someone did to you. This latter form of thinking is more suited to a child while the former is for a mature developing adult.
If you learned something, you now have an excellent opportunity. One that could help you Manifest a Beautiful Life Despite The fact that your previous endeavor did not work out. You now have a unique business opportunity that only you are the expert in. How many people experienced exactly what you did and how many actually learned something from it? How many people do you think even opened their minds enough to realize it was something for them to learn? How many are bitter, ruined, stuck on the gloom and doom and need help and healing? With your unique experience, you can help others Manifest a Beautiful Life Despite what they have experienced.
Please be mindful of the group we spoke of earlier. They only focus on the problems in society. They simply magnify the negativity. Some of our friends are this way and when we share our challenges with them, they often add "gasoline to the fire" instead of helping you seek resolution. I call them "tag team buddies". When you strike a negative blow to someone or something, they tag you and strike one as well. Showing you that they are indeed your friend. Just striking and striking, no healing. And we never learn anything valuable in the process that will help us
Manifest A Beautiful Life.
We will come back to this topic at a later date because there is so much more to share on so many different levels. Even more real life examples that would literally blow your mind and cause you to immediately feel gratitude for whatever you have in life at this very moment. For now, remember that no storm last forever.
