Turn Emotions into Actions
Changing what you do is much more powerful than changing how you feel! Can’t break out of the emotional rut? Get out and do something. Fake it till you make it!
Talk to the experts and public speakers about getting psyched up before performances. Some run up to the stage and podium because it jump-starts them. Physical action is the key to getting through tough emotional times. Time after time the military has proven that when the brain shuts down the body goes on autopilot. It does what it has been trained to do.
Even more exciting, physical activity can bring unruly emotions back under control. When you are angry chop wood or go for a run and use up that excess emotional energy. It is a fuel that your physical body can take advantage of. Turn emotions into actions.
Take that anger and say “I won’t let this stop me!” Turn anger into grit and determination. Don’t let it slide into depression and apathy.
I can’t stress enough the importance of training your body to do what you want it to. Let’s use the example of brushing your teeth daily until it becomes a habit. The point is reached when you will not feel right about going to sleep if you haven’t brushed your teeth.
Habit will get you through the tough spots if your habits are constructive and well established. Your mind and emotions can be completely elsewhere and your body will carry on and get you through.
Bad habits will have just the opposite effect and stall any progress bringing your life to a screeching standstill. That’s when you slide into crippling depression and passive inactivity. There are always struggles and barriers. The choice is to continue putting forth physical effort and break through those barriers to achieve the goal.
In my own life making daily posts on the Internet has become a habit so strong it is easier to do it than not do it. These posts have become a comforting routine of steady accumulative effort. I no longer feel the need for extreme bursts of energized activity to get through the posting material. In the beginning I did.
I look forward to the 1 ½ or 2 hours I spend as a time of relaxation and work that I love. The habit of work is a comfort to me in times of stress. It feels good to see progress at the end of a day where the only good thing that came out of it was posting a new episode! For me, even a bad day is a good day in that respect.

Emotions Can’t Reason
Emotions are intensely personal and not under conscious control. They are like having extra senses. Feeling can be rational or irrational but they can never be “right” or “wrong” in the sense that it is “right” to feel this way and it is “wrong” to feel this way. No body should ever feel guilty or ashamed about how they feel emotionally.
Only personal actions can be taken into account. There is nothing wrong with feeling like you want to kill somebody. That is an emotion you feel. It is wrong for you to act upon that emotion and physically go out and kill someone. We are responsible for our actions, we are not responsible for our emotions.
Instead listen to our emotions and try to determine why we feel the way we do. In many cases our emotions are trying to tell us that something is wrong or that something is right. That is a signal for us to be alert and cautious in what we are doing.
In magick and in physical life emotional energy must be directed and controlled by conscious intent or it will turn destructive. Emotional energy must be channeled and directed in a way that will bring positive results. In magickal practice mental energy “contains” emotional energy and directs it to the appropriate target. It is very important that our conscious mind rules physical actions and that our emotions do not rule physical actions.
This is a hard concept to understand because our conscious awareness must be very sensitive to our emotions and work with them in a supportive and positive way. Often our “inner voice” or “inner authority” speaks to us through our emotions. In learning to follow our “inner authority” we need to understand our emotions.
When I work extra hard at the gym and don’t feel like getting up the next morning it is important for me to realize why I don’t feel like getting up and then consciously make the decision to get up anyway. Emotions have extra sensory ability, they do not have reasoning ability.
Above all else emotions do not have reasoning ability and we can not trust our physical actions to guided by our emotions. We can use our emotions as extra-sensory input to assist us in consciously deciding what physical actions to take. There is a big difference.

Success Counts for Everything
Happiness, prosperity, health and romantic love are the rewards of a competent productive and honest life. We learn by successfully doing. These things are all based on self-esteem. Self-esteem is dependent on our ability to get results from our efforts. When we get positive results from our efforts our self-esteem increases. Self-esteem allows us to feel we have earned these things and we deserve them because of our competence. We feel good about what we have.
A high level of self-esteem requires total honesty and objectivity. What brings results one day will not always bring the same results the next day. When our efforts do not produce satisfactory results we must ruthlessly throw out those things that do not work and replace them with things that will work. This means having the ability to constantly try new things and improve upon old ones.
It also involves problem solving to discover why you are not getting the results you want. Do not throw away your life’s blood on things that do not bring results. Self-esteem is related to our ability to survive and prosper physically and independently in the real world. It happens when we have that feeling of being in control of our life and able to deal with anything. That is when we feel the happiest and most content. Self-esteem comes from taking our own power and using it through focused effort to achieve our goals in life.
The main point here is that so many people choose to throw their lives away getting poor or no results for their efforts. Much of the time this is because they are busy doing things that external authorities are telling them to do. “If I do what I am told, I will get rewarded.” This is the sick mindset that prevails in our world today. The simple truth is that the system is fixed or rigged and the only people that are successful are those that play outside the system and take unfair advantage.
External authorities will tell you what rules to follow but they will not follow those same rules in the same manner that you are expected to. There is a double standard at work and we loose!
All that I am trying to say is stop and take a real honest assessment of what is happening in your life. Are you moving toward your goals? Are you making gains every day no matter how small? Find those things you are successful in and explore them to find how they can grow even more. Seriously consider getting rid of the dead wood.

Personal Happiness
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
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.

Giving Our Power Away
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?

Moral Absolutes
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.

Carving Our Destiny
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
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.

Actuality vs. Reality
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.
