MIND CONTROL!

I'm coming to a part in my life where the sidewalk ends.

The part where I realize nothing my parents prepared me for is either real or relevant.

It's not their fault I suppose. They too have been conditioned from birth with preset moral codes and rules. Things that make an entire world of people into literal sheep. And this didn't happen over night. This has been happening for centuries. Which is why our reality is now the way it is. Confining, limited, wasted, and miserable.

It's time to stop letting people in power tell us who we are, what we should grow up to be, how we should act, how we should dress, how we should feel. 

It's time to stop letting them feed us poison in our food, our "medicine", our water, our air.

It's time to start over from scratch. Clear our minds. Take back our power.

Restore balance. It's time for all of us to really decide what we want in this life. Not what we think is the "right" thing to do. It's time to stop letting borders and religions divide us. We are all one and the same living thing. We just think that we are separate. It's all been perfectly placed in our head to believe so.

 Believe in that part of you that is completely limitless my friends because I can promise you it's there.

We are all made up of something magnificent. We are consciousness, simply placed into this vessel of a body to experience this life in. We are capable of what ever we can imagine. And I mean that GENUINELY. 

I know it sounds like madness, but that is how they have conditioned you to respond to this. If you take just a few minutes to really think about it, it completely opens your eyes. Because your whole life you have really known it all along. Wake up! Wake up. wake up...
You have only been sleeping.

On the bright side it seems more and more people are becoming aware of this.

And the more people that come together and break free of their mind chains, the more power we get back. It's not about protests and violence towards the ones that did this. It's about taking back what is rightfully ours! All you have to do, is start becoming more aware of what you really are and it all starts to unfold before your eyes.

So don't take my word for it. See for yourself.

A small change in direction.

So I have kind of been spending the last month in self reflection. I wanted to take the time to collect all of my thoughts and make sense of myself again.

I thought what I've learned was good enough to share.

First, as much as I truly believe in putting positive energy out there, I have learned that making your growth process all about spirituality and a moral challenge will hinder your development rather than help. 

We need to step back for a second and set aside right and wrong, good and evil, and all your predetermined moral values. If everything in the universe is all connected, then in reality "good" and "bad" intertwine. You have to free yourself from any mold that you are trying to fit yourself into. This mold is only holding you back.

Once the slate is wiped clean we can begin to relearn and gain the wisdom we seek.

 Second, reaching a higher state of consciousness shouldn't be about separating our true animal instincts from some higher sense of self. That seems to be the very mentality that is holding us back. It should be about letting yourself truly flow without limits.

We had access to cosmic energy and higher states when we were first conceived and we still have access to it today. You don't have to go out and fast , or become a monk, or even be a "good" person to be able to access this energy and knowledge. It is our birthright as a life form in this universe.

Everything is in constant flowing motion with the universe, we were made to have the desires and instincts we have.
I heard an awesome example of natural psychic phenomena from a video the other day.

"Proof of a mental/ psychic connection in all things  is most evident in the wild. Birds for example, when flying can effortlessly create all sorts of formations together with out any plan or practice. They just know." 

I am not implying that we should go back to crawling on all fours and sleeping in trees. Instead I am implying that we need to just let ourselves be what we are without moral limitations. Go in the direction you are genuinely drawn to.

Let yourself grow freely.

A different you, a different time.

If you are alive today, you just may get to be here when something incredible happens to us. As a species, as a planet, and as a universe.

What I'm referring to is a shift.

 Every 26,000 years marks the end and beginning of a solar cycle.

Cultures all over the world were aware of this, the most common of them being the Mayans.

This is known as a "great year".

A great year is divided into four parts or "seasons".

Gold, silver, bronze, and iron.

Currently we are in the iron age, and sadly none of us will be here when we finally move into the golden age.

But! The beautiful thing about being alive today, is that we get to be a part of the human race's transition or evolution, if you will, into what we are truly capable of being.

It is thought, that in 2012 a massive change is going to occur here on our planet.

Some believe this could be bad for us as a species.

While on the other hand, many others believe this marks the start of a much needed and very beneficial change for the better on our planet.

Personally I don't believe 2012 entails any massive overnight change but I do believe it is the beginning of a shift in our consciousness.  

A shift worth being embraced.

While the nature of this change remains vague and illuding, I believe this could be the start of something incredible.

( I recommend taking a look at this)

Currently, our world is in desperate need of change.

Our planet has suffered greatly from serving as our host.

There is constant unrest in the world.
People fighting people, countries fighting countries.
Greed has become a way of life.

We can not continue to thrive in this manner if we wish to grow.
So where do we go from here?
Many great things have started from something small.
Although one person doesn't seem likely to make much of a difference, I can assure you that they can.
Just as a pebble dropped into water creates a rippling effect, you too can create a wake of enlightenment and positive energy to be shared with the world around you.

However, before you can make a great positive effect on the world. 

You must have a positive effect on yourself.

To truly understand and love others you must first love yourself.

Let go of all your regrets.
Let go of all the flaws you think you have.
Let go of your grudges and your hate.
Free yourself of all your negative thoughts and energy.
Let in the light that is thriving all around you.
Forgive yourself and forgive others.
I promise you if you can do all of this you will notice a significant change in the way you feel about your life and the people in it.

(You might like to try this)

Once you have achieved your own personal equilibrium, you can then truly begin to have a positive effect on others. The ripple starts with you! No gesture is too small. I challenge you  to go about your day going that extra mile for others. Smile at the people you see, approach someone who looks lonely, make friends with a stranger, do something you would not normally do for someone else. Just as Buddha once said, "Thousands of candles can be lit from a single candle, and the life the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared."





To be continued...

  

We are not alone.

We are NOT alone in our universe.

At this point it's just a matter of the general public excepting that.

It's a little vain on our part to assume that we are the only intelligent life in the universe.

The universe is seemingly endless, and our planet is a grain of sand on the beach in comparison.

I believe that life froms somewhere else may be the reason we evolved the way we did. 

Our evolutionary development all of a sudden jump started. 

And scientists today still cannot find the missing link between us and the neanderthals. 

Here's a thought, maybe that's because the missing link isn't here on Earth for us to find.

If you are still interested in reading, I recommend reading about the Ancient astronaut theory.

 I won't be going very in depth into that theory because I could literally go on and on about it, but for you to understand what I'm talking about it's important you understand that theory at least a little.

Because we are so adamant on only truly believing in what we can examine with our basic senses

I will start with what you can see with your own eyes.

Youtube wasn't cooperating with me this morning 

so I am going to have to just give you the link to this video.

I apologize for the inconvenience. 

*What we can see with our eyes*

I get goose bumps every time I see this video.

And obviously, that's not the only visual evidence out there.

You could drown in all the reported sightings, videos, and pictures, that just happens to be one of my favorites.

So I guess the next question to ask is, what do they want?

Do they have good or bad intentions for our species?

My own personal opinion is, just like here on Earth there are good and bad people.

So perhaps, in the depths of our universe there are in fact different life forms out there, some of them have good intentions for us and maybe some have bad intentions for us.

I think there is really only one way to go about finding that out.

We as a whole need to get our heads out of our asses and start seeking the truth, for ourselves.

If we continue on the path that we are going we are going to continue to be blindly led.

We won't know the truth, we won't even be close to it.

There is a bigger picture to be seen, we just chose to go about our lives without it.

And if that's what you want to do, then by all means continue.

But for me, that's no longer good enough.

I want to see the bigger picture. I want to get off my hamster wheel, and start actually accomplishing something.

Getting the ball rolling...

The unwinding of our ability to reach higher states of consciousness has been going on for thousands of years.

Humankind's journey through evolution has gone in a direction that has ultimately filtered out the need or desire to use that part of us. However, there are still religious practices today that believe in this state of mind and strive to achieve enlightenment through it.

 Today I have chosen to discuss different ways to achieve higher forms of consciousness.  

1.) Meditation

I personally enjoy this method.

Meditation has been an effective way to achieve different states of consciousness even long before the times of Christ. And has been used by dozens of religions through out time.

If you are anything like me meditation can be a little difficult. It is very hard to turn off your mind, which is a very important if you wish to use this method.

Not that long ago a friend of mine recommended a  6 part video to me.

And it did in fact, prove it's self effective where other guided meditations had always failed me.

2.) Contemplation:

The contemplation of art and nature can lead to epiphanies. 

No longer does the word just apply to its Greek origin meaning manifestation of a god or deity, but also a special and usually sudden raptures, where the meaning or reality of something becomes clear. Also known as, Enlightenment! 

^.^

3.) Sex:

Yes, let's not act like children. 

Sex is in fact a way to experience another form of consciousness.

I'm not saying every time you go do it you are going to have a god like experience.

But I am asking you to look back at one of the handfuls of times you may have had sex where you remember something incredible changing, not just with your body but your mind also took a trip. Believe it or not, your state of consciousness did change.

4.) Mind-altering substances:

I am going to tread carefully on this particular topic so I don't influence people to do something incredibly stupid and also so you, the reader don't get the wrong idea about how I conduct myself.

I am not in anyway telling any of you to go out and do a bunch of drugs so you can talk to god.

With that being said, I'll continue.

"In ancient times, people all over the world grew or gathered sacred plants (and fungi) with the power to inspire visions or conduct them on journeys to other worlds; some of these people, who are sometimes called shamans, returned with the kind of spiritual knowledge that underwrites whole religions."

A big mystery of human life, as Michael Pollan puts it, is that "there are plants in the garden that manufacture molecules with the power to change the subjective experience of reality we call consciousness." 

5.) Theta waves:

A man named Robert Monroe said he had developed tapes which send different sound signals to each ear, signals of 400 to 404 hertz resulting in a blending inside the brain and forming a binaural beat frequency of 4hz (theta waves).

This produces a state of brain hemisphere equilibrium, and an altered state of mind.

These sounds are usually listened to with head phones to ensure each ear gets the sound designed for it.

It's actually a pretty interesting experience.

So there you have it, just because a higher state of consciousness doesn't come naturally to most of us anymore, doesn't mean we are incapable of reaching it.

I'm hoping this first post wasn't too much of a let down.

Plenty more to come.

The beginning.

Before I started this blog I want to give anyone who might be reading this a little information about me and the purpose of this blog.

My name is Ashlee, I am 20 years old and currently residing in southern California.

For years now I have felt out of place in the world.

I have grown weary of society's norm. The constant disregard of other people and living things, the general need that all people have to cling to trivial and material things, and the emptiness that comes from living life the way we do today.

I want to clarify now that this blog is not about any religious views of any kind. However, I do not discriminate anyone's beliefs. I believe in people doing what makes them genuinely happy.

I am making this blog to keep track of information I have come by during my exploration for enlightenment, that I feel is valid enough to hold onto and to share.

In this blog I will cover a number of things:

*The higher state of consciousness that we all have.

*Why we don't use this state of consciousness in our daily lives today.

*Different ways to accomplish a higher state of consciousness.

*The FACT that we are not alone in this universe.

*The FACT that there is good and evil throughout the universe just as there is good and evil in our own world.

*The connection ALL things have within the universe.

*...and as I continue my own personal journey, much much more.

I hope writing this blog will not only help me but also you, whoever may be reading.

Much love,

Ashlee.
