Happiness can not be found in material possessions or in another person. Happiness is a deeply personal inner matter that is a product of our personal choices in life and the consequences of our actions. It happens when we can see the positive results of our efforts.

When we work hard toward a goal and get few or negative results there is a loss of happiness and self-esteem. When we work hard toward a goal and get many positive results our happiness and self esteem grow. When things come too easily or are given to us we tend to take them for granted and take advantage of the situation.

While this may result in short term happiness, it will not lead to long term happiness and positive self-esteem. Understanding our True Will and being clear in what we believe and stand for helps us to act in a confident and decisive manner.

We continually test our individual version of reality by keeping those things that bring results and getting rid of those things that do not bring results. Continuing to put out effort and energy in efforts that return a poor or negative yield destroys both self-esteem and happiness.

When we find ourselves not getting results from our efforts it means there is something we believe in or something we are doing that is not realistic or in agreement with the way things actually are. When we are not getting results it is time to try something else. It is time to consider we are wrong in our thinking on this particular issue. Either that or we must work harder to break through the resistance we are encountering.

Life is short and sacred. Each one of us should be allowed happiness and prosperity according to our own individual needs. There are three requirements that will allow us to achieve our personal goals in life.

First we need to take care of our physical bodies. Our physical bodies are temples and should be as clean and healthy as possible inside and out. This means eating right, breathing right and getting enough physical exercise.

Second, we need a healthy self-esteem. A healthy self esteem will allow us to be confident in our own ability to overcome any obstacles and to get our individual needs met. We need to believe in ourselves and our ability to produce change in our lives.

Thirdly, we need to have a clear understanding of what we believe and act in accordance with our own personal “Truth” or paradigm. We need to be true to our inner voice and our conscience. When we understand our reason for being alive, we can act with conviction and certainty.

When we doubt ourselves and turn to external authorities for the answers that are inside of us, we are hesitant and filled with doubt. This causes us to act indecisive and weak. This includes the understanding that each person has an individual path and an individual “reality” that they must follow. Just because one thing is true for me does not mean that it must be true for the next person.

Being a victim and giving our power away go hand in hand. When we blindly follow external authorities and expect them to fix our problems, we have given them power over us.

Any external authority will be destructive and restrictive. They will not have our best interests in mind. They will have their best interests in mind.

Are we to be like the soldier that murders civilians because he was ordered to or are we going to think for ourselves and act for ourselves?

There is something inside us that is weak and wants to turn power and responsibility over to external authority like the government. Each and every time we turn to an external authority we give a portion of our personal power away and become more of a victim. Each time we wait for someone to teach or empower us we loose valuable time in our lives that could be spend in active effort.

If we refused to turn our power over to external authorities and lived according to our “True Will” the world would be a much better and safer place and we would treat each other as equals.

There is an evolutionary principle at work here. It’s time we asked the question of whether it is correct to artificially support actions and behaviors that left unsupported would collapse. Sometimes people need to hit bottom before things can get better for them. There needs to be an ending with closure and consequence.

To support things artificially goes against nature and sucks resources away from healthy enterprise. Why does our society feel that it is so important to take care of people that can’t or won’t take care of themselves? Is there a place for tough love in this confusion of co-dependency?

In the gray murkiness of what is right and what is wrong, there are some absolutes a person can count on: The importance of knowing your “True Will” and the perfection of your personal paradigm or view of reality. Each will be different from everyone else’s, but will be in harmony with the universe. They represent your particular place in the universe and the reason for your existence. All personal effort is cumulative in nature.
Without personal effort we will not get anywhere. We must apply ourselves and not look to others to fulfill our needs for us. Each of these require we be entirely honest with ourselves and with each other. We must be true to ourselves at all costs and allow others the same respect. There are some things unconditionally bad:
Habitual dishonesty and laziness.
Destructive actions or activity intended simply to destroy without replacing what exists with something better.
Denying individual rights or controlling others simply because they are not doing what you want them to do or controlling them for the “higher good”. This is especially true for laws and government authorities that try to control people through legal legislation.
This includes the use of force against individuals. The use of force is never justified except in self-defense or the defense of loved ones.
Giving personal power away to some higher cause or person is never in our best interests and is never justified. Those in power will always act in their own best interest and not in ours.
Always remember we find our “True Will” by listening to our “internal authority” and not some teacher or Guru. That includes these teachings as well. They are intended to make you think and decide for yourself. They are not to be accepted blindly or followed blindly.

We can carve our own destiny. The point of power is in the present moment but not in the way some might suppose. To live and act in the present moment is to reap the full benefits of past actions and make choices affecting our future in a positive way. Too many people dwell on the past and spend their energy wishing things were different or like they used to be. This is a waste of precious time.

Others say, “I will write my book next year” or start exercising after the holidays. They have plan after plan but never get started because a new plan comes along and takes its place. The net result is nothing substantial ever gets done.

Even more interesting, most people live for immediate gratification and won’t put effort out for long range goals. Long range goals are simply too unreal for them. A long-range goal is like an abstract thought that is too difficult to take seriously.

It is a balancing act to learn from our past and make choices affecting our future. We do this by living fully in the present moment. It might help to realize the major events of our lives are locked into place a year ahead of time. This is a metaphysical truth. The main events of our lives are preordained, not before we were born but at least a year ahead of time.

The Akashic records are etheric in nature. They reflect things that will happen in the future and things that have happened in the past. It is possible to dream about future events that will come true. Each year new events enter into the akashic records. They are potential events ready to manifest physically. The end point for putting new events into the akashic records is the autumn equinox of each year.

This means the main events we experience were placed into the akashic record some time during the last year. There is lag time between when they enter and when they physically manifest.

Minor alterations in our physical life can be filled using the lunar cycle as well. It is important to live in harmony with both the solar and lunar cycles of nature. Our physical body lives in the (physical) universe and our soul lives in the (astral) universe. Each universe has different rules. As physical matter gravitates toward each other in the physical universe, events gravitate toward each other in the astral universe. There are critical time periods where everything happens at once and long periods where nothing significant happens.

This is a natural phenomenon that astrology has tried to understand and master. The important point is there are periods of time that are more important than others and we must take advantage of them to be successful in life. Proper timing is the key to everything in life.

By the same token, don’t attempt something when the time is wrong because the entire effort might be put at risk. Our “inner authority” will guide us into action at the proper time when we learn to listen to it. We can learn to recognize the natural closing points and opportunities that surround us by living in the present moment.

Paying attention to the natural closure points and opportunity points as they occur is what mastery of life is all about. Trying to force things at the wrong time leads to nothing but pain and heartache. If we try the entire universe works against us. If the timing is right the entire universe works with us and supports our efforts.

Our “inner child” knows how to live a balanced life. We can recapture the excitement, the adventure and the energy we had as children. This will help us live a balanced life.

There are some important differences between the child and the adult we can explore. The excess energy children have comes into this life with them from past lives. It is energy they have earned and brought to use as they wish.

This surplus energy is used up by puberty and its absence triggers the need for the body to produce its own energy. There is a reversal of energy flow as the child hits adolescence and the free energy is no longer available.

This produces the stress and angst teenagers experience. Producing our own energy is difficult at first and instead we get energy from other people, especially as teenagers. We hang out with people that give us the energy we require. In like manner, they get energy from us. This is mutually beneficial.

At first most of the energy comes from our parents through our genetic link. This link is an etheric link that exists throughout our lives. That is why the relationship between us and our parents is so important in modern psychology.

Of the seven types of shared energies, the chances are at least one type of energy comes naturally and easy to us. Other types comes very hard. We use our “friends” as crutches to balance our lives and provide us with those hard to get energies. The energy cycle of relationships is like this:

1- Union- we have enough energy as children and freely give it away to others.
2- Movement-We sense our lack and move toward energy we can’t produce ourselves. Not knowing where to turn, we begin to explore our environment.

3- Attraction-We are increasingly drawn toward another person and have identified our energy goals.

4- Seduction- The other person invites us into their sphere of energy and gives us the energy we crave.

5- Entrapment-We realize the other person is feeding off our energies the same way we are feeding off theirs. We are locked in co-dependency.

6- Exploitation- We are taken for granted as the other person gets their own energy needs met. We get less energy than we are giving out. We give less in return and take them for granted or turn to others and exploit them.

7- Loss of innocence-We have trapped ourselves in a relationship that is not healthy and we can’t get out of it. Energy we can’t spare is being taken from us and we are emotionally drained. At the same time we drain energy from others in a vicious cycle.

8- Join forces-We use cooperative communication and supportive effort to move toward mutual goals and needs even though the spark and the attraction are gone. We realize mutually using each other can achieve positive results even if it is not exactly what we would like.

9- The spark-A new type of attraction is born out of competency as we become successful. We no longer need the other person or their energy but choose to be with them out of friendship. We have earned the respect of our partner and in turn we respect them.

10- Realization-We understand each other as true equal partners in the giving and receiving of energy within the relationship. We realize our own strengths and weaknesses as well as those of our partner and value our relationship with each other.

Through work we train ourselves to generate the energy we need. We develop the ability to generate each energy easily and once more have a surplus of it. This is important because most of the things we lack in life are the result of not having enough energy to go out and get them. This surplus energy allows us to reclaim our “inner child”.
This cycle of energy dynamics within relationships is further explored in OAK:Tarot of Love and Romance.

Defining terms is important in communicating with others. The following concept is about “actuality Vs reality”. Actuality is what exists in the universe. We might never know it because it is so complex and based in chaos theory. What exists might be so complex the human mind might not be able to perceive or understand it.

Consider that animals are able to smell scents we are not aware of. The honeybee can see colors we are not aware of. There are many life forms living in our world that sense things we do not. It is almost as if they are living in a different world. We are limited by what our outer and inner “senses” tell us and we call that “reality”.

The scents we can’t smell and the colors we can’t see are not “real” to us and are not part of our “reality”. It is our subjective view of “Reality” that we live and act in.
There is also a “collective reality” we agree on most of the time. For example we agree to drive on the right side of the road if we live in the United States. There is a paradoxical element about actuality and reality.

The closer our “reality” approximates “actuality”, the more successful our efforts will be. If we believe in a fantasy that is make believe it will never manifest results in physical life. If it works use it. If it does not work…throw it away. We are interested in results and in fulfillment of our needs. We are not interested in perpetuating illusion and superstition.

Another aspect of this issue is that a “close minded” person will achieve much more than an “open minded” person. The close minded person has no doubt about what is right and what is wrong. He or she does not hesitate to do what he or she feels is needed. For personal empowerment we need to be “close minded”. This will grant us certainty and keep us tightly focused on our goal.

The trick is to be “close minded” in a healthy way. We do this by perfecting our personal view of reality or our “paradigm”. In following our “inner authority” we get flashes of insight and personal “truths” that gradually become our “reality”. When we find our “true path” and “True Will” we know what is real for us. We become “close minded” in confidence that we are doing what is best for both ourselves and we are also helping the entire human race.

There should be a balance to our lives. Everything is where it should be within our environment. The door we must open lies within our reach if we can only discover where it is.

Whereever it is we want to go, our starting point is in the same room we are in right now. There is an action we can take that will alter our life. That action is a new action we have not taken before and we probably don’t know what that action is. That action might be a small simple action but it will have tremendous consequences on the rest of our life.

Most of the time it comes out of our blind spot and we only stumble upon it by accident. Many actions are like walking on a treadmill. We put out effort and energy but don’t get any place. When we do the wrong actions we don’t get anywhere.

When we do the right actions our lives are changed forever. Correct actions are accumulative and empower us over time. Good friends can see the things we can’t. They will help us if we let them. One secret is closure. When we start something we must finish it or the energy we have already spent remains unfocused and acts as a drain on our energy reserves. Instead of walking on an endless treadmill we can break our actions down into specific physical tasks that can be completed with closure.

Completing something gives us energy to start new projects. Completing brings energy back into our lives. If we don’t finish we never get the energy back. During each day set aside a portion of time to work for specific future goals. In performing these tasks our efforts take on added power and momentum. At first perhaps very little can be done, in time more and more can be accomplished.

Effort toward goals is cumulative and will grow in time. We progress in life through modest accumulated effort and not through heroic one time efforts. This has been one of the most difficult lessons I have had to learn. I have always wanted to do the heroic and not deal with the day to day realities. This reluctance to deal with the day to day realities of life has held me back for years. I am only now starting to come to terms with this issue.

All out heroic efforts have not gotten me anyplace except out of the frying pan and into the fire. Modest accumulations over long periods of time have brought the most important and lasting changes into my life.

As an example I got married and joined the military in a heroic effort at raising a family. It didn’t work. I got the marriage and the family but I also got the divorce and the separation from my children. Heroic efforts seem in my life to be like a two edged sword take gives and takes. Slow and steady bring true results. Like a fine wine, the universe and nature will not be rushed. Everything has its own season. If we don’t have something it is because we are not ready to have it. We don’t know enough about what we want.

Modest forward progress has been constant and over the years the thing that has been most empowering in my life. The pattern seems to be take a risk, gain experience and then gain skill. When enough skill has been gained I have advanced. At this point my progress seems to be increasing at an exponential rate. The progress I have made toward personal goals in the past year alone is more than I have made in the ten previous years combined.

I’ve got to conclude that long term planning and working toward long term goals are two of the key ingredients for personal empowerment and goal achievement. This is especially effective when combined with the closure concept. It seems to be an unbeatable combination.

This balance is only possible by working through and with the conditions of my life as they currently are and not as I wish them to be. Break things down into small chunks that are easy to do and put closure on them. Slow and steady does win the race.

When we fall in love with someone of the opposite sex the energy dynamics will help each partner develop an astral body and sense of self. It is this feeling of growth and completeness that makes love so exhilarating. When we are with this person we feel alive and vibrant.

There are many ways to fall in love with someone. The relationship may even be only a casual friendship or acquaintance, love at a distance. In each instance there is a mutual attraction of energy.

This all sounds so complex and impersonal that I would like to share my own story. I have experienced devastating “puppy love” in my youth and then later a broken marriage that taught me many karmic lessons about living with someone else.

Through the healing process I was attracted and fell in love with other women that were teachers and taught me different growth experiences and relationship skills. At the conclusion of each relationship we managed to part with as much love, respect and peace as possible. We simply grew away from each other and were healthy enough to let go when we needed to.

These some of these relationships would be considered platonic and non-physical in nature. They involved minimal physical contact with each other but major contact with each other in dreams of great intensity. This dream contact always led to an alchemical marriage type of experience in which our astral bodies were bonded together at every level possible. Each relationship gave the impression of being a soul mate relationship but only on the level it existed on. When personal growth spilled over into other levels the relationship was terminated. We could not give each other what we needed for continued soul growth.

Each woman gave me experiences that I badly needed to learn. Because of these experiences I am more able to do my part in making a relationship work over long periods of time. My experiences were all positive and healing. It was these relationships that allowed me to find my current wife.

Because of these experiences I feel it is natural for different people to come into our lives at times and then leave when they are no longer needed. Such relationships encourage and develop our inner selves and bring needed communication and relationship experience. The important thing is to be able to let go when we must let go and be able to do so with as much love as possible.

Not one of my experiences in a relationship was repeated in another one. It was as if something was created within me and reached fulfillment. Each relationship involved new energies and new issues in my life. Each relationship was healthier because I was able to use my growing relationship skills to sustain it for as long as possible. Each relationship made new demands on me that increasingly involved effort on my part to make the relationship work. By now I have become convinced a lasting love relationship is one of the most difficult things possible but also one of the most rewarding.

Why do people fall in love? Why do people fall out of love? These are questions that have been asked for as long as people have fallen in love. We fall in love because there is a need for what our partner provides.

Love is a symbiotic relationship that goes to our core. There are marked differences between the sexes that need to be openly stated and discussed. Males and females each follow different paths of ego development.

The book “Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus” touches upon these striking differences. We each create what the other craves and needs. Most of us dream of a soul mate relationship with a partner ideally suited for us, someone that would complete us in all ways. Just about everyone would like that experience.

To aspire to this type of romantic love relationship is one of the most selfish things possible. Such a relationship would contain only two people and leave out the rest of the world wouldn’t it?

At least that is the fear of many people when they see two lovers caught up in each other. Friends, family and job often suffer and take a lower priority and importance than the romantic partner. The collective suffers.

To become too involved in love threatens the social structure and the survival of the community. We don’t have time any more for our friends.

Our society and culture actively encourage us to think of others, to think of national interests, our political party, favorite charity, job and community. Society and culture are constantly trying to find new ways to separate us from our romantic partner. It is not surprising so few romantic love relationships ever last.

There are so many powerful forces in each of our lives working against it from the very start. We are taught being selfish is wrong and this is the fundamental point we must come to terms with if we ever want romantic love and have it last.

Being selfish and wanting love and a romantic partner is a good thing and not a bad thing. Society and community will benefit from romantic love relationships. Family is at least as important as the security of our nation. Should we deny ourselves happiness in life and suffer for other people or should we live for our own happiness and share that happiness with those around us? To experience romantic love we live for our own happiness and follow a course of action that will find us an appropriate partner.

What is it that makes romantic love so special? Why do we feel alive and vibrant when we are with the person that we love? Why does that person make us feel complete?

It is this feeling of completeness that really defines romantic love. In this feeling of completeness we feel that we have a self. This feeling of completeness makes us feel like a person, like an individual. We feel complete and it feels good! We feel important and loved as much as we love. We also feel all we need is the love of our partner and that is the danger.

Most of us have experienced that intense emotional experience called “puppy love”. This is a soul level experience and involves our capacity for love. In “puppy love” we have a giant crush on somebody and give all of ourself to this person gladly and willingly. We expect that same intensity of love in return and when it is not returned we are no longer as young and innocent as we were before.

From this point on we earn the love and respect of any potential romantic partner and it is not an easy road to follow. To find love we first find self esteem and learn to love our own self.

Love and respect exist on every level. We develop the capacity for self esteem and love with our entire being. The only way to do this is to find someone to interact with us and teach us. This means we can be attracted to someone spiritually, mentally,emotionally, sexually or physically. Each type of love relationship is valid and causes our souls to grow as we share with this other person.

Somehow we find a teacher for each type of energy, someone of the opposite sex that will teach us the mysteries of that energy, someone that will give us experience that we need. At the same time we are teaching them and giving them experiences they need to become complete. We use each other to become complete.

It is very rare that one person will be able to teach us and develop us in each of the energies. It is more probable that we fall in love at different times with different people and learn the lessons they each have to teach us. We in turn will be helping them to learn and develop in a mutual relationship of growth and development. These relationships end when our capacity for self-esteem and love has been established and we are ready to move on to other areas. We have become complete in that area and don’t need them anymore. This defines a co-dependent relationship fairly well.
