Issue 2 Article: Successful Life Secrets

Civilised human life has four apparent goals. They are health, wealth, happiness and liberation. Good health is a priceless benefit. We will deal with it in later issues. Wealth not only means financial independence, but also lifestyle, and a safe and free society. For it is when the economic well being of a society collapses that people’s lives goes into darkness, and all can suffer regardless of how much money they may have accumulated. To be truly wealthy means to ensure that every person has access to a secure life. No one must be left out or disenfranchised from the society in any way. Begin with yourself, but then include as many others as you can. We will deal with financial matters in later issues.

Happiness is based on your ability to relate. It is essentially a flow of energy through your system. Real happiness is entirely dependent on your ability to express all parts of your energy. If you can’t express yourself, then you are holding down your power. Happiness requires a free flow of your life force. When you dim a light bulb, you reduce its electrical output. The room is not as bright. In the same way, if you reduce your life ‘electricity’, your life is not as ‘bright’. You are unhappy, or at the very least, in a bad mood or lethargic.

It is essential to get your energy system moving if you want to enjoy your life. Exercise is a great benefit, but people can exercise and not feel happy. The blockages in your personality are the real cause of unhappiness or lack of success. Particularly those in the subconscious mind. There are two ways to work on these. The first is through the whole range of therapies. These may make you feel better, but may not deliver the results you want. The second is by deliberately creating your life to become what you want it to be. This is extremely effective. Let’s see why.

You are the common denominator in all the experiences in your life. If you have an area in your life which you are unhappy with, it is usually contributed to by the patterns you have within yourself. You have made the choice to be in that situation, or you do not have the ability, or consciousness, or opportunity to get out of it. Sometimes, of course, we may be involved in things which are beyond our control. But we could be stuck in these by our inaction or lack of awareness.

By focusing on changing or improving the particular areas you are unhappy with, you cause the subconscious blocking patterns to be revealed. Usually these are through the experiencing of negative emotions, or even the situation seeming to get worse. You can continue to free yourself by continuing to create what you want. So if you have a problem in relationships, by deliberately committing yourself to creating a successful relationship, you can flush out all the resistance patterns to experiencing love and great communication. If you have a difficulty with money, or creativity, or spiritual development, or fitness, or anything else, you can do the same.

By freeing up these blockages, you cause more energy to flow through your system, and that results in a greater experience of happiness. You also have the benefit of the area in life you have improved also being fulfilling.

Many people make the fundamental error of believing that life happens to them, and, if they are lucky, then everything will be all right. Life doesn’t happen to you, you happen to life. And you happen to life based on the patterns that are sitting in your subconscious mind, creating the conscious choices, which become all your experiences.

So the key again is to work on becoming more and more conscious of your mind and your personality. You are made of many different selves (subpersonalities). Get to know them. Grow yourself. Go for the best you possibly can. You will be very glad you did.

Finally liberation. This means to totally free yourself from all blockages in your mind and remain in a state of pure awareness. It means that you are one hundred per cent concentrated in the present. This is the enlightened state you hear of in the East, or the State of Grace that you hear about in the West. This is a big subject and we will examine it in various ways during future issues. But be certain of one thing: this is the true goal of human life. Nothing will ever fulfil you as this will. To become an awakened being is really the ultimate. This next paragraph on one such man,who has achieved this, will help you experience it for yourself.
