There are lots of areas or ways in which you attract to you that which you focus on whether or not it is something that you desire or something you don't want. Have you ever wondered how someone all of a sudden got that perfect job or an awesome promotion? Maybe you've been curious as to how a few people always appear to have all they want or need and more? It is all about the Universal L. O. A. This suggests what you concentrate on, you attract to you. If you're now questioning why there are things, folk or situations in your life that you do not need, you are right sometimes what manifests into physical form isn't what you need. It is not always about you. When you concentrate on what you don't desire all of your energy flows into thoughts and emotions which cause the physical manifestation of something you don't need.

It's also a truth that irrespective of how you focus your energy, your thoughts and your sincere wants something that you do not want still manifests. This occurs because there is sadly more than a couple of people or experiences involved. So how is it that all of unexpected you find yourself in a situation that isn't to your tastes, not at all what you wanted? There are countless reasons, some of which are that it's time for you to be some other place or to be by yourself. It is even a very good chance that as a result of the Spiritual or healing work you have been doing that you are no longer a vibrational match to your present circumstances, surroundings or relations. It is or can be a very scary experience to suddenly find yourself facing the unknown. The unknown can filled with obstructions, blocked energy, fear, thoughts of lack and doubt. You can even feel a feeling of betrayal, frustration and even perhaps a great sense of loss.

Everything as you knew it is suddenly and irrevocable modified. The unknown can be crammed with wondrous experiences, meeting new folks, satisfying your Life’s Purpose. Amidst the chaos of your whole world just having turned up-side down, there are blessings, opportunities which would otherwise not be open to you. Take a bit of time to become extraordinarily clear about what you want, you have got a superb sense of what you don't want.

Turn your thoughts, your feelings and your actions around in support of all you wish. You may begin to attract to you all you desire and more. As thoughts and emotions rise to the surface, acknowledge and continue to heal from within. You will be surprised by what begins to show up in your life.

Everything you've ever wanted or desired is made manifest in your name in the Realm of Spirit. I am living my Life’s Purpose more fully than I'm able to have ever imagined as a result of my life having been turned up-side in the summer of 2010. I walk my talk, live my purpose, sharing with all who are open to their own uniqueness.

Since I was young I've been able to have a look at normal objects like curtains, crumpled garments or the shadow on a water jug on a table and I've seen the most extraordinary things. Maybe you have had the same experience. Another example is driving, especially at night, when I am exhausted.

I've seen exotic animals, suspicious strangers and curious scenarios in hedgerows, under trees and beside motorways, which on closer inspection end up being nothing but the play of light and shadows. It is more reminiscent of the religious internationally as it has an ephemeral enchanting quality. This numinous quality is appropriate to the sense in which the divine shoots through the relative world, which is time and space bound. In Hindu philosophy the 3 human states of waking, dreaming and sleeping — which comprise a human life — are transcended and made spiritual in the fourth state, which is named turiya.

To sublimate matters even farther the fifth state of turyatita is the indivisible transcendence of unchanging pure consciousness. The Hindu explanation presents us with a quandary. Smart and accessible as it is, it may nevertheless leave us asking the query : How will we speak of the unspeakable? How can we use words to explain what's beyond words? The answer's through metaphor, mythology and its use of symbols. Much like words (and words too are symbolical naturally) symbols refer to something greater than themselves. Now infrequently it is nice to play with words for their own sake. They're meant literally and understood to be shallow, shallow and devoid of deeper meaning. By contrast words used with precision and accuracy part the veils of perplexity and guide us to understanding.

But when are terms or narratives symbolical and when are they literal? As it is crucial that we know the difference. A few of these accounts make fantastic reading, ranging from the curious to the superb. There's the unimaginable story of Tikku-Baba, a fakir who had advanced powers and performed many miracles. Late one night, a young fakir who used to run errands for Tikku-Baba returned to the great fakir’s house to find Tikku-Baba’s body dismembered and his limbs stacked in a neat pile. Fearing a grisly murder had taken place the young fakir left. But filled with curiosity he returned in the morning. To his mystification he found Tikku-Baba in full health, beaming and carrying on as normal.

This clearly not possible set of events is created more tricky to evaluate when told by Nisargadatta Maharaj, an enlightened master who was very quick to scold ambitious adepts for their shortage of logical thought. In another fantastic story, this time from the Sufi convention, compassion is obscured by atrocity. A whole family was the followers of a Sufi master. One of the boys had a naturally smiling face. One day the master asked the boy, “Why are you smiling?” The boy kept smiling. In front of everyone, the Master beat the boy with his stick until it was damaged. The boy kept the smile on his face.

The master took a heavier piece of wood and continued to beat him until his head entered his shoulders and his shoulders entered his body. When the boy was a mass of damaged bones, flesh the Master went within and gnawed betel nut. When he came out, he pointed at the bloody pile and announced, “Who is lying there?” Then, in a voice of authority, he exclaimed, “Get up!” and the boy arose without scars or any trace of harm, entirely whole. The master commented that the boy was now a Wali (Saint) and he stayed one for the remainder of his life. This was the family’s dearest wish and the Master had done in around an hour what would be expected to take many years or lifetimes. Again the routinely reasonable minds of Sufi leaders like Irina Tweedie or Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee (who released this story) seem to consider this a literal story, since it was apparently witnessed and related by their predecessor, the Sufi master Bhai Sahib.

Metaphor, symbol, myth are the tangible and verbal communications of choice for spiritual truths, which won't be truly voiced any alternative way. Why not? Because spiritual truths aren't the same as literal truths. Spirituality pertains to the life of the spirit, to transcendence and liberation and ultimately to the Divine or God, Brahman, the Conclusive.

We have so many names for numinosity exactly because it is so hard to describe and when we go into a bi-partisan holy war about it, it is usually as we have become attached to the symbols and forsaken what they stand for. There might be a different way to employ words if we experience their meaning in a different way. Defending the actor Steven Seagal, who destroyed his Hollywood career by making a film about heavenly pollution which pre-empted Al Gores’s An Awkward Truth by at least ten years, the psychologist Robert Trager explained, “A part of Steven lived in Japan so long that he's Japanese and in Japan the literal truth is not as critical as the emotional truth. In Japan there is another level of reality, one where the literal facts don’t matter as much as the social and the emotional facts.” Emotions predominate over scientific fact in the writing of Laurens van der Post : “Time became reluctant, for it's not only a movement in and through space but also a movement in feeling, and when feeling is fixed in one unforgettable moment, time only half exists.” So, are words literal, symbological, emotional, factual, fantastical, figurative, literal, representational, abstract or metaphorical? The answer is of course that they can be any, either, most, some or the majority of these. But our subject here is the use of symbol and metaphor to convey religious facts, or truths.

Occasionally words are used to simply lie. Unusual phenomena are, of course, not necessarily as extraordinary as they seem. The Indian rope trick has been discredited : Sai Baba may not have materialized holy vibuthi or jewelry out of thin air and not all crop circles turn out to be the work of alien life forms.

Turning now to the mad knowledge college of religious instruction, what does it mean when the fifteenth century, “enlightened maniac” Drukpa Kunley is claimed to have instructed a female disciple in meditation, inseminated her and sent her off to a cavern to meditate. Apparently a year later he returned to find that there had been a landslide and that the cavern entrance had been closed off for some months. However when he found her she was alive and well in spite of having taken only a few days of rations with her into the cave the year before.

After a short period of instruction she is said to have accomplished Buddhahood. When the latest non secular teacher Adi Da Samraj died, two expectancies : first, that he would rise from the dead, and, second, that his body would show no sign of rot, meaning that he was a great yogi, were both disproved. Did this discredit Adi Da or show that his proponents were literalizing symbols? Religious metaphors are symbols over fact (i.e. Reality of the relative world). When the symbolical and the literal become confused they displease and dishearten. The child-philosopher, less than the religious disciple, is naive and finally materialistic. In his heart doing and having are more important than being and being is close to presence and human presence is close to the divine.

We meet the divine through our identification with it, through exhibiting those mystical powers, and wondrous means developed through our non secular discipline, often known as siddhis. Siddhis are those perfections or accomplishments mentioned in the Mahabharata. Clairvoyance, levitation, bilocation and materializing objects are some examples. However looking farther into the manifestation of siddhis leads us into more everyday kingdoms : knowing the past, present and future, tolerating heat and cold, knowing others ‘ minds, not allowing oneself to be controlled by another. Some are only elementary meditation experiences, like experiencing your body as tiny or infinitely large, heavy or weightless. Occasionally mystification is caused by mistranslation, as in the mystification surrounding the virgin birth. Virgin essentially means “maiden”. In the first Latin the word refers to sexual inexperience or “uninitiated”. So that the virgin birth simply means “born of a maiden”. Similar havoc is wrought in the mistaken belief of the word apocalypse.

Rather than the end of civilization, it actually means “lifting of the veil” or “revelation”. In the kaliyuga, deception, illusion and falsehood must be exceeded and truth embraced and accepted. I have seen truth in a grain of sand, god in an in-breath, perpetuity in the sea and unending mystery in the wind. None of these incline me toward changing into a worshiper of nature, anthropomorphizing natural phenomena or starting a spiritual cult.

Metaphor and symbol are the ways those of us who are moved to convey timeless truths and deathless knowledge endeavor to aid others toward understanding.
