The Price of Loss

Loss creeps in and out of life like a stolen shadow. It eats at faith and trust in both tiny bite size morsels and gluttonous chomps. Its ferocity can leave one dangling from a thin tether as it stretches further and tighter until…it breaks. Only when it breaks can reconstruction begin.

Gain becomes the stronghold as new life is born like a mushroom in a recently burned forest. Loss and gain, the two tango back and forth across the dance floor of self as a rose dangles from the mouth of this paradoxical cycle.

What is loss, but gain? Old trees must burn to make room for a new forest generation. Transformational fires rage through self via the mundane, external world. Every loss brings new growth and every gain brings new burdens, without exception. Each has reasons. Loss alludes to loss, but it fakes out the perceiver because loss doesn’t exist. There is only the need to make room for new.

The price of loss is freedom, freedom from that which has become wretchedly worn and used up, but not let go of willingly. Renewed by gain, the cycle continues with vigor until the new becomes old and once again transforms. Nothing is permanent. Nothing.

Certain stagnant death would occur if change did not. Small children cry with an abandon at the want of things to stay the same forever. Adults laugh at the cuteness while having their private tears of transformation. Acceptance of change, and the good fortune it brings, offers security. Insecurity comes with insistence on sameness and wanting.

I need your vote today to become the Next Top Spiritual Author. The book I’m writing uses a fictional story format to explain the mechanics of karma energy. Karma is a tool used by souls to incarnate. There are only four possible patterns of karmic energy, which form your base personality, and one of them belongs to you. Understanding your pattern, and how it works, gives you full power to clear your karma and in turn, a happy, peaceful life.

Adversity

Character is like a tree that bows in a mighty wind as it gains strength through it’s own resistance to adverse conditions. Life brings winds of change upon even the most innocent, not as a test or punishment, but as a building block in the very foundation of a soul. Current times are challenging and it is good. New foundations are being created through shifts and change as new energies align in the heavens bringing forth an era of sharing and equality.

An outdated system is breathing its last breath as it aches with its own demise. A cash cow that promised inequality and powerlessness gives way to an unknown scheme yet to be envisioned. Collapse of a monetary nothing promises a new… something. Thrive in the chaos of creation as the winds of change blow hard and tumultuous through the now times of transformation. Those who are bankrupt contribute to our new humanity; hopefully with a grin of understanding, while the bankers bite their nails with anxiety of a world they are losing control of and can’t understand.

Adverse times build strength and character like a mighty tree in high winds. Go forth knowing that all is grand and on purpose. Nothing is lost. Destruction before construction: No foundation can be built any other way.

Contest

Hello,

I’m Boston Carter, a medical intuitive, karma specialist and general psychic. Before you delete this message, please know that I’m not selling anything.
I’ve developed a model that explains how karma energies create personality during the incarnation process. Personality occurs through patterns of perception. What I mean is that there are specific patterns that people view life events through, and the pattern that is yours will create how you feel, how you interact with others, how you think and essentially what kinds of experiences you will have in your life.
There are only four basic patterns, only four, and one of them belongs to you. It is my highest wish to share this information with the hope that it helps you understand yourself and your relationships with others. To that end I am writing two books. The first is a fictional story that will explain what the patterns are and how they work. The second is a non-fiction workbook that is designed to help you see all the ways in which your pattern shows up in your life and how to work with it to clear karmic energies.
I am currently in a learning process through the avenue of a contest. The contest is called The Next Top Spiritual Author. This contest is the American Idol of spiritual writing. The winner will receive a publishing contract and $50,000 for marketing the project. Going through the process of competition is teaching me invaluable lessons about marketing, with which I have always struggled. I’ve never liked the marketing side of writing, but it is an essential aspect to getting my information out to you who can benefit from it. So I am willing to learn.
The contest allows for only one book so I am entering the fictional story and it is called “Grace, Karma and Sin: A Story of Clearing Karma”. In order to win the contest and subsequently to get this information out to you, I need votes. I am asking everyone I know to go the contest website, look at my project as it unfolds and vote for me at each of the four rounds. If you like my work, please pass it on to everyone that you know and ask them to vote too. There are about 2000 participants and only one winner.
The contest will occur over an 8-month period of time. The first round will be a video sales pitch. It is designed to sell my book project to the general population and the publisher. Round two will be the book proposal. Round three will be the first two chapters of my book project and round four will be the completed book. (My fingers are crossed right now.)
I am not selling you anything and no one else will sell you anything. I just need your vote. Following are some links that will allow you to connect with me so I can let you know when it’s time to vote and how to do that. The contest begins March 29th and I look forward to this process. Thank you so much for your time, consideration and your vote.
If you would like to take a further look at what I do, you can read some blogs I’ve posted at http://nowageknowledge.blogspot.com/ and go to my website to read some free articles, watch videos and look at a schematic of the model of perception patterns at http://www.nowageknowledge.com/

Self-esteem

Those who are confident shine like a beacon and draw many like a magnet. Self-esteem percolates with zest and oozes from the pores of the phlegmatic.

Frightened by comparisons to other, confidence reshapes into timidity. The eye sees other as mighty and sturdy oak while viewing self as spindly, weak bamboo. The oak is hard and has beautiful lines of grain when polished, while bamboo’s softness splits easily and offers flexibility of movement. Both are beautiful and righteous for their purpose yet comparatively unequal.

The world would be less for the loss of either tree and the world would be less for the loss of any talent, thought, person or contribution. Confidence eludes as comparison competes bamboo with oak. Oak is good by itself. It has many roots that go a distance to hold the earth in place and offers grand shade on a hot day. Bamboo is good when grouped. It offers wind protection, and flexibility of movement, as it’s long trunks sway on the breeze.

The plight of people is to be both oaks and bamboos, sturdy when alone and flexible in groups. Shape shifting back and forth between the two can bring timidity through the power structures of superiority and inferiority.

What would oak trees do in groups? Would they still be oaks or would they compare their bark and leaves to other oaks? Do they remain sturdy and strong or become mushy with self-doubt?

Resistance and Receptivity

Resistance and receptivity: eternal archenemies in a relentless tug-of-war for the prize of supremacy. One cannot exist without the other yet both flutter about seeking a place to land. A useful tool for disregard, resistance follows like a shadowy figure constantly ducking in and out of psyche’s doorways. It persists with a tenacity that Taurus would be proud of as it pushes away everything regardless of value.

Then comes its opponent, receptivity, with a toothy grin and a come hither look. ‘I am open’, it shouts. ‘Come to me, I welcome you. I can see you and I can hear you. I have all that you long for within.’ Receptivity welcomes all, but only if a toll is paid. The price for passage is vulnerability.

Resistance has its place and feels very much at home with its dear friend, guardedness. Receptivity only feels at home with vulnerability. Two tag teams of energy driving down the toll road of destiny as each pushes and pulls on the wheel. Come here fate and take me to my shrine of happiness, but go away providence and keep me from that which I most fear.
Push, pull, tug and tweak in continual search for the center between these teamed enemies. Subjective midpoint persistently moves and changes as it eludes its seeker who incessantly hunts its prey.

The Unknown

The known future slithers along just out of visual range. No matter how much it is chased, it is always faster than the chaser. It never tires of toying as it covertly moves through the thick underbrush of dread. The dreaded unknown rises to be seen clothed in religion and fear as explanations and information are sought to stop the chaos of a seeking mind that has nothing solid to seize.
Current times are bulging with the unknown, so much that many are ready to detonate. Clearing meadows of change and transformation tease as the wriggling beast is sighted. Then, it’s back in the underbrush again. What hides under the bushes? Is there a tall, sheer cliff from which to tumble, or is there a mountain of wishes and dreams treasure waiting to be scooped up and hunkered away under coat?
Back room trust evades as it ekes in and out of reality. Trust, the notion that sets aside fear of that which cannot be controlled. Trust: not for the timid or weak of mind, but only for those willing to risk it’s inclusion and occupation of sanity.

The following are quotes that include the word unknown and are available through thinkexist.com.

“History does not record anywhere at any time a religion that has any rational basis. Religion is a crutch for people not strong enough to stand up to the unknown without help.” Robert Heinlein.

“Growth means change and change involves risk, stepping from the known to the unknown.” Unknown. :D

“The more everybody lives, the more life reveals to him; what was unknown becomes known.” Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy.
