What is it that we are all searching for, is it ultimate happiness, blissful joy, a utopian society where each person is entitled to grow and develop as they are meant too, barring the obstacles placed on them due to social and economically reasons. How does one begin a journey to a place where true peace and serenity dwell. I suppose if I had the answer to that question I would be the richest person in the world. Although I don't have a set course that is foolproof, I can provide an idea of where to begin looking. To take that first step towards a Higher Consciousness, begins simply with the desire to do so. It is realizing that you are much more than you see and think. No man can restrict you, harm you, hold you back unless you give him/her the power over you to do so. No one person, can be the reason for either your happiness in life or your unhappiness. People can add to your growth, your joy, but in the end it is the contentment of YOU that is the final judgement of success or failures. For those people who feel that the world is against them, I ask them to look within themselves and to see where that negativity is coming from either on a conscious or unconscious level. What evil man do, is mainly to themselves, not by outside forces or "dark forces" it is one sabotaging themselves, for a variety of reasons. One of the first steps on a ladder of many rungs, is to take a deep and honest look at yourself. Look and examine your fears, your feelings. See how they affect you, and look into coming to terms with them, to eliminate them from your being. The pathway to higher conscious awareness is to remove, deal and embrace those negative attributes that each of us have. To allow your being to be filled with the healing light, to create in you a force of light. Negative emotions, such as hate, intolerance, anger, & ego all block your evolving to become a Higher Conscious Being. To look at yourself and those around you with a "higher vision" is your goal. Higher Consciousness is a balance, it is to be the center of Light and to also see the darkness, It is a balance of both Light and darkness, for one can not exist in this physical realm without the other. A Universal Law of balance must exist and we must reside and abide within each of the Universal Laws. So many people are searching for ways to remake themselves into what they feel they must be, that they forget to look and just see who they really are. With all the self help books out there on creating a new you, my question is why. Each of us are uniquely who we are suppose to be, each at different levels of consciousness. We must look closely at our intention when trying to recreate a newness to who we are and what we are. That we do not create ourselves to be what we are not meant to be, and lose ourselves in that redesigning process. I have found that many of the self help theories although they sound good on the outside are potentially dangerous when you look more closer to what they are suggesting one be. One must remember constant, "To thine own self, be true". It isn't a matter of what one group might say, or do, that we must govern and create a new self. but what we can do, to take what is there and expand and develop more what is already inside of ourselves. Creating a new you, can be done in many ways, opening yourself up to new schools of thought, taking classes either self development or any type of classes. Going back to College, looking into changes in career, expanding on your interests and hobbies, all help create a more fuller life for you. Getting involved in life itself. A step to a higher you, is simply accepting who and what you are right now, realizing that you hold a vast opportunity to be more than you see and certainly more than you are right now.
