What Was Your Worst Decision? | Mine Was to Let Go of God | Without Knowing What I Was Doing Worst Decisions in Life? Many of us won’t have the luxury of looking back at life and wondering if we ever went wrong, or at which point we went wrong. Most of us are too focused on the problems and challenges in life, that looking back is not an option. But looking back and taking stock is one good habit. It tells us if we are on the right track or not. That’s how we know if we have to realign to correct our path. I was taught from an early age by some great teachers that I should take stock and look at where I am headed. Just heading anywhere could lead me somewhere or nowhere. If I don’t check the path, I won’t know if I am doing well or not. I took this advice seriously, and I did an introspection. Sadly, this introspection was too late in life. This was at a time when my mind had labelled me as a failure, good for nothing, and a total waste to my family. What Does That Mean? | And What Happened? The blessed few wouldn’t have to deal with thoughts that cripple from the inside. But I was an unlucky recipient of these crippling thoughts, and it led to an infamous ailment — depression. I was suffering from it and drowned in debilitating thoughts. In such a situation, I could literally do nothing right. Even if what I did was right in the eyes of others, my mind would butcher me nonetheless. ***Who do you think this was in my mind?*** We will come to that shortly. But I got help. The help was timely and great. As my condition started to improve under the guidance of a counsellor, I reached a stage where I could look back and check where I went wrong. Why did I have to check? Because, I was the top of my class in school and college, I was one of the brightest in my first job, got done what my peers couldn’t, I was the youngest to receive stock options in my second job, was one of the few to be elevated very fast in the third job, and yet here I was struggling to accept myself? How did that happen? Anyone with this kind of past credentials would be soaring in high self-confidence. I was the exact opposite, though. Where did I go wrong? The answer did not come straight away. As I started cleaning my mind through energy exercises with God’s help, my past cleared up to show me the exact point where I veered off the track. Where Did I Go Wrong? | More importantly, Why Did I Go Wrong? I remember, at the peak of my achievements, I had this nagging self-doubt, and yet an intermittent feeling of invincibility. These were two contradictory thoughts, which got me confused. And then came the most not-so-obvious suggestion of my life. I believed it was my own thought. Oh, how wrong I was! Let me write down the thought first, and then I will elaborate. “How can I ask God for success? Isn’t that cheating? I should succeed on my own and then show God how well I put to use what He created (me). I can’t keep disturbing God.” On the face of it, it looks like an innocent thought. A very straightforward idea that any proud son, even in an earthly relationship with his biological father, would love to do. Make my father proud by being the best version of myself. This works for biological relationships, but not for spiritual ones. What do I mean? While on earth, I can work independent of my dad, but I can never work independent of God. Ohhhhh boy, did I learn that the hard way!! Going Wrong | Going Very Wrong! You see, I have come to realize, from strong personal experience, that when you sideline God, you don’t stand neutral. There is nothing called “neutral” between Heaven and hell. When you keep Heaven away, hell is already whispering in your ears. Hell only plays dirty. Heaven gives you free will and respects your free will. The other side does not care a hoot about your free will. No God means yes to hell. This is not me quoting from some self-help book, or a religious one. This is my experience. Having grown up in a Christian family, I was always blessed by my Father in Heaven, His Son Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit, but then I went ahead and made a stupid mistake. You cannot show your expertise to God by distancing yourself from God. Heck, you cannot show your expertise to God even by staying close to God. Why? Because He knit you in your mother’s womb. For You formed my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. Psalm 139:13 He knows you more than you know yourself. And I thought I was going to surprise such a Being by my performance without taking his help. It was practically impossible. Thank God, that even though I left His hand in an attempt to do it myself, He did not let go of me. Read that again! And again! ****Now then, where did this brilliantly stupid plan of distancing myself from God come from?**** The Ungodly Whispered | And I Unwittingly Followed The minute I say demon, evil spirit, the devil, satan, notice how you think I am just speaking in the air without any substance. Notice how you even lose interest in reading on, thinking that I have gone overboard with my analysis. You, or at least some of you, are thinking there is no devil or there are no attacks from hell. You think that I am just over exaggerating my analysis. Well, guess what, that’s exactly how satan would want this world to be — always doubting God, but never questioning the devil; so much so, that it makes you believe that it does not even exist. Should I even tell you who came up with that wicked idea of letting go of God’s hand to prove myself? Well, well, not so hidden now, huh? There is no place for the evil one when God reigns in your life. The minute you let go, that’s when you drown in hell. So, irrespective of how successful I was, here I am just coming out of depression. To make you believe, here is something you can do. Go to Johns Hopkins or some reputable medical sites and check the cause of “depression”. I will let you know the answer, but you should check for sure. “There is no clear cause of depression.” https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/depression And if you think depression is a medical condition, you couldn’t be further from the truth. The truth is that we are constantly bombarded by the evil one, we lose track of God’s light, we fall into the abyss of darkness, we see no hope, we don’t know how to stand up again, and lo and behold, we are in depression. I am not making this up; this is my exact experience. But there is good news. God Is Still the Most Powerful One | Nothing Can Harm You | Even When You Have Difficulty Believing in Him All of the ailments, all of the challenges, all of the issues seem too big or insurmountable when God is far from you. Call Him to you, submit to Him, and witness the miracles in your life. God responds. Every. Single. Time. So, going back to the start, where did I go wrong in life? I went wrong in my inadvertent belief of making it big in life without God. That’s where it all went terribly wrong. The good news is that I am back. I never thought I could. So, the only reason I am back is because of God. There was no way that I could have come out of the abyss myself. I hope that you, too, find God most blessedly, and I sincerely wish you don’t have to experience life the way I did. God is just a heartfelt call away. Pick up your heart and call Him. May the Lord Jesus bless you abundantly!  — — — — — — — — — — —  Image Courtesy: Mental Health by Mohamed_hassan at Pixabay(dot)com

Generational Trauma | Generational Curses | What Do You Think About It? What I Am Going Through Today Has Something To Do With My Ancestors Absurd, right? I thought so too just a couple of years back. It is odd that something my ancestors or my lineage could have done or experienced that would eventually harm me. Or I turn out to have the same experience as my ancestors (and likely unpleasant experiences). It becomes impractical because science cannot and does not explain any such possibility. What is wrong with me is because of what is wrong with me. Period. Any practical person will think in this manner, and I would have concurred with this in the recent past. This generational stuff is even more absurd to comprehend when the woke ideologies tend to use this to whitewash their ridiculous claims. Because of that, I find it hard to digest that any concept that has to do with my lineage affecting me could be true. It is out of the realm of possibility. And yet, I had to change my opinion eventually. Why? What changed? Here’s What Changed | My Inability to Deal With the Problem In my earlier articles, I had mentioned that I had gone through depression, which is an odd experience, especially when I was (and still am) an energy exercise practitioner for the past fifteen years. Energy exercises are a form of clearing the mind and body of unwanted thoughts and experiences, thereby allowing us to go through life without unnecessary friction. Some of the energy exercises I practiced were Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), and Ho’oponopono, to name a few. But I was living a contradiction. Either one of the above had to be false. Either I did not know energy exercises well, or I never had depression. But here I was, an energy exercise practitioner, drowning in depression. One of the known facts in the energy exercise world is that a recurring problem that does not get neutralized tends to have a root cause that we have not unearthed yet or not dug out properly. In such situations, we may need a third party to look at us or look at our problem and suggest what is wrong. This could be someone known to us, a friend, our spouse, or a counsellor. In my case, it was all three. Starting with my wife, who saw me struggling, called up my friend to come and help (since I wasn’t listening to her). My friend came, spoke to me, and then suggested the counsellor. With the counsellor’s intervention is where I started seeing blind spots. Things I couldn’t have seen myself about me. And one of the things was generational trauma. Generational Trauma? | Still Not Convinced That This Was True One of the traits that got me into depression was my stubbornness to avoid help. If that was not bad enough, even with the help the counsellor provided, I wasn’t keen to look at the possibility of generational hurt (trauma). It just wasn’t scientific, despite my counsellor sounding very scientific. I think my counsellor saw through my stubbornness and allowed me to self-discover this part. And how did she do that? She recommended that I read a book. And I took homework (😉) quite seriously. I obliged. The book was “It Didn’t Start With You” by Mark Wolynn. Despite my skepticism, I went ahead. I was always pro-acceptance once proof was presented. A book from a verified source is definitely proof. Heck, just fifteen years back, when I started with EFT, I had to be convinced that it worked. Why? Because science does not believe in energy exercises. But once I saw the science (yes, there is science), I was sold on the concept. In this case, the book started to make sense. The author does have scientific backing for what he states at every stage of the book. And with that, I started using energy exercises for generational hurt/trauma, and surprisingly, it worked. A problem that had never got sorted earlier was getting neutralized in a jiffy. And these problems or issues in my life were because of nothing I did, but what my ancestors did or experienced. How odd is that? And with that, my eyes opened to another area of human life and evolution. Who would have thought! Generational Trauma | Generational Curse | You Bet There Is Something To It While clearing the generational pile-up in my life, I coincidentally recognized why I was averse to acknowledging this reality earlier. The reason was the woke bullshit (pardon me, if I hurt your feelings. I recommend you keep your feelings aside.) that was loosely using the term “generational” to twist the truth. This is what makes people like you and me skeptical of the authenticity of generational hurt. I haven’t touched upon generational curse, and that requires an even bigger arsenal. If generational hurt requires a bazooka, then generational curse requires intercontinental ballistic missiles. For the generational curse, you and I require the generation Creator — God. And I am happy to admit that with God’s intervention generational curse got handled pretty well in my life. So, to all my skeptical friends out there — generational trauma, generational curse, energy exercises, a great wife, a good friend, a dependable counsellor, and God above all — is a good mix to find salvation (or at least, a solution) from our troubles. It worked for me, and I am sure it would work for you. While I am quite a long way ahead from where I was two years back, I am awaiting input from my counsellor to concur. I feel that depression is not bothering me anymore, but like my counsellor would say, people outside us can see us better at times. It doesn’t hurt to take their opinion. So, I will wait for that opinion and feedback before I announce complete liberation from depression. 😊 ***Also, a side note:*** At a point in my life, I decided to journey without God. That was my first mistake. I got into depression because of the wrong guidance (When God is not guiding, the ungodly will take God’s place) and the erroneous path I took. I suggest (STRONGLY) to never leave God’s side. Maybe then you won’t have to worry about troubles or generational hurts anymore. That’s the easiest way to handle life. Get going with God. Jesus Christ saved me, and I hope he blesses you too!!  — — — — — — — — — — —

Getting to the Root Cause of the Problem | Multiple Root Causes? | Unlikely But Not Impossible Root Cause of a Problem and Energy Exercise I have been a practitioner of energy exercises like EFT, Ho’oponopono, NLP, and more for fifteen years now, and yet I end up with periodic surprises when dealing with the disempowering feelings that accompany a problem. There are two types of problems that seem to have no solution and yet can be solved. We will be looking at only one of them over here. But first, what are the two types? The first one is a “blind spot” or a problem that we can’t even see, let alone deal with. I have come out of depression, but to do that, I needed a counsellor to show me what I was unable to see. Imagine that, fifteen years of energy exercise experience, and yet I couldn’t solve a problem that I was facing. In short, “blind spot” problems need eyes outside of us to show us the problem. Hence, the counsellor in my case. The second one is not finding the root cause of the problem. As energy exercise practitioners, many would have experienced situations where the interventions just do not neutralize the feelings. Mostly, that would be because we have been unable to unearth the real “root cause”; needless to say, no root cause, no solution. In this discussion, we will be looking at the latter one — lack of root cause identification. Let’s get started. Lack of Root Cause Identification | How It Impedes Problem Neutralization While we talk about problem neutralization, let’s first understand that we are talking about energy exercises here, and the neutralization is for the feelings associated with the problems. Not the problems themselves. But most likely, if we can neutralize the feelings, then the problem doesn’t appear as mammoth as our mind would want us to believe. And that, therefore, allows us to deal with the problem much more effectively and handle it better. Now, all of us understand what a root cause is and how we can find it and deal with it. So, I won’t get into explaining that. But here is one unique situation that I faced where the problem seemed to have multiple root causes. At one point, I wasn’t even sure if the problem would get solved or not. What was the problem? It was one of my tenants that I had recently completed an agreement with, and the head-spinning problem of getting her out. The Crazy Tenant | And An Intriguing Tale of Multiple Root Causes Let me start with the background first. I had found a tenant recently for my house, and the interaction started with a lot of hiccups. I am a male, while this tenant is a lady. First of all, men have to be a bit more careful dealing with a lady than with another man. I guess this is the same worldwide, or at least, mostly. But I made of lot of mistakes in just the one and a half months of this tenant coming, where it went from the tenant being allowed into the house without even paying the full initial deposit to me giving her a one-month notice to vacate the property. But here is the thing, I was continuously scared because I thought I made a wrong move. First, didn’t take a deposit before signing the agreement. Then a clause in the agreement that goes against the period. Bigger than that, my own panic and fear of such crazy situations. The last one froze me up, and I couldn’t even do my daily work. I had to deal with this situation. I picked up my favorites, EFT and Ho’oponopono. Not to mention Lord Jesus Christ, the most cherished among all of them. 😉 The Root Causes | Here We Go I have come to realize, after some years of habit, that I will slow down doing my regular work if I feel that I am facing an insurmountable problem. So, until the problem goes away or is solved, I just cannot remain calm and focus on other areas of my life. That’s what happened here, too. I had to resolve it to get rid of it once and for all. And with that came multiple root causes. And they are root causes, not just another thought process. I am listing them out, and I will briefly explain afterwards. 1. I should not focus on work without solving the tenant problem. I should put all my focus on the tenant problem. 2. I cannot feel calm and at peace when the tenant problem is going on. 3. This tenant lies a lot. What if she lies about the contract and refuses to vacate? 4. This tenant lies a lot. What if she lies about the entire episode of asking to leave and creates a problem? 5. What if this tenant does not leave by the time she says she will leave? (Time commitment not met was a big issue for me.) 6. The tenant puts a case against me, and we have to battle it out in court. It is an unnecessary overhead The above were the root causes that I faced. Now, you would say, how could these be root causes when I am listing out six of them? Well, the thing is, when I first started using energy exercise a week back, only problem 1 was the root cause for me feeling down. When I dealt with that and still felt unsure of the tenant issue, problem 2 surfaced. And then the other ones in sequence. It took me a week to handle them. Best part, I am writing this article while the problem isn’t solved yet. This wouldn’t have been possible a week back because of root causes one and two. But handled well for now. Also, in all the root-cause handling, I put Jesus Christ as the one handling the problem, not me. That changes things, but imagine, despite that, I had six of them to deal with. Dealing is Getting To The Bottom of It | Awaken The Sherlock Holmes In You 😊 This is just one example where I had multiple root causes for the same problem. Now, I haven’t elaborated on each of the root causes, but what I wanted to show is that a single problem may have multiple root causes. In this case, it was also like peeling an onion. The root causes were like layers. When one got solved, the other one emerged. Then that got solved too. All in all, a good thing. One other thing that I would leave the readers with is that you can also try to get into the habit of gratitude. That means, keep writing down or speaking out things that you are grateful for at regular intervals. In my case, I keep thanking God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit for all that they have done for me. This habit transforms our heart into a grateful one, and it is very difficult for a grateful heart to worry about a problem. I hope that it makes sense.  — — — — — — — — — — —  Image Courtesy: Question Mark by Peggy_Marco at Pixabay(dot)com

Law of Attraction | The Universe’s Got Your Back | Or Has It? The Universe I grew up knowing that the sun, moon, earth, planets, galaxies, and the universe are God’s creation and that we are the recipients of God’s goodness. This was a thought process that came through from my religion, and something I followed without questioning until my mom was alive. Since the time my mom passed away, I was kind of a pariah in the spiritual realm. I don’t mean here on Earth, but in the spiritual space. I was still blessed with an awesome family, great friends, an amazing community, and an engaging church. These were all good, but the lone time is what started changing. No longer was it about prayer or God. A new thought that God loves me anyway, so He will take care of me, started making me complacent. And thoughts like I can pray tomorrow and make up for not praying today started getting stronger. The problem was that tomorrow never came. I went days, weeks, and sometimes, months without praying. I still went to church regularly, but praying took a back seat, and when praying happened, it was impersonal. God became just another topic of respect in my life, and that too started fading. I began to believe that nothing in my life can be changed by anyone but me. God started being a distant concept and a concept to be upheld only around church members or family. There was no personal touch anymore. I don’t know if there was any to start with. Then the World of Law of Attraction Attracted Me | A Lesson Awaited Me I bought book after book about the law of attraction. Its basic tenets on how our world is dependent only on us, and we can change it any time we want, and to anything we want, seemed to resonate with me. It started feeling real and rhymed with my own belief that “no one in my life can do or change anything for me”. This was the perfect break I had been looking for, and the one that confirmed my belief. I was too excited to have found it and started practicing it. I only needed to believe that whatever I want, I have it now, and start feeling and behaving like I already have it. Interestingly, there are verses in the Bible (that I had left far behind) which corroborate these ideas. In fact, it was the other way round. The Bible had these verses, which Jesus had said, and the law of attraction follows the same idea. So, it appeared Biblical, and I was still on God’s path. Or so I thought. Didn’t Appear to be Going Forward | Did I Do It Wrong? | Did I Not Get the Concept Right? The initial excitement and my practicing started to get tiring. Days of practicing turned to weeks, weeks to months, and months to years. I didn’t seem to be going forward at all. I, in fact, fell back so badly that even what I had, I lost. And it still appeared that I was doing something wrong; at least, I wasn’t blaming others or circumstances. The more I heard audios of the law of attraction or read books, I started feeling sad, irritated, and frustrated with myself. The concept seemed simple, but I was going in reverse. At one point, I felt I was well off before the law-of-attraction world entered my life. By now, God was not even an option to turn to. I was too messed up and felt that I was only following Jesus’ words, then why weren’t things changing? Imagine that — to read from something other than the Bible, and blame the Bible and its Stalwarts for my shortcomings. 😊 But the outcome was not very good. I made some brash life decisions, was drowning in stress, and stress-related ailments like psoriasis and lupus were slowing me down. I lost my verve, my spirit, and psoriasis-induced black patches started showing on my face. Now, the world knew something was off with me. They just did not know what. My finances crumbled. I was a successful guy, and now I was reeling in worry about money. The worry about money was always there; that’s why I looked at the “law of attraction” world, but now it seemed to have gotten far worse. I had no idea left. I had no solution. I was tired. And I had a family to take care of, a daughter who was growing up, and a father suffering from dementia. The only silver lining — my wife was still working and doing well. (P.S. Wife is a staunch believer in God.) I didn’t even bother to take her help when she saw what was happening with me. It went down south real slow but real bad. Silver Lining | Light At the End of the Tunnel | Went Back to Where I Started By 2023, I was in depression. I had literally ruined a whole career on the back of the idea of improving my life. Not going to lie, but thoughts of ending my life crossed my mind so many times that it was not funny. I quite literally thought it was one of the most obvious choices out there. And then I felt it. It was distant and like the only light from a tiny hole in the ceiling. I was in a pitch-dark room, my head crouched on my knees, and I was sitting in the corner of the room. I sure felt that I was covered in filth. I don’t know what this was. Was it some kind of imagination? I sure was sitting on my bed, then what is this place I saw when I closed my eyes? I don’t know. The only thing that felt real was that light. It came through when I wasn’t even calling for it. It was the silver lining. It was the light at the end of the tunnel. I had to go back to God. Killing myself was not an option, especially since I would be going to hell for it. Thank God, my mom taught me this really well. Who would have thought one day I would need this teaching so bad! God’s hand reached me. Even though mom wasn’t there, her teachings were still safely wrapped and kept in one corner of my mind. I started with the Rosary. The one she always asked me to do. I wasn’t out yet, but good thoughts started filling me. I had to take external help and found a really good counsellor (not a religious counsellor). My counsellor once told me, when people are in this situation (that I was going through), it is very difficult for them to see the mess they are in. They have to, therefore, rely on the feedback of people who can see them. In other words, I had to take the inputs of my counsellor, my wife, and my friends, who could see that there was something off about me, and start making amends. That was the beginning. But most importantly, I went back to God. The real healing happened at the Hands of the Father. My wife, my counsellor, my friend who suggested the counsellor, all were cogs so well entwined in my life that God’s work seemed intricate even while I was far from him. I will cherish these gifts (people) from God. And finally, what about the law of attraction? Law of Attraction | What About That? Well, I am not here to deflate your experience if the law of attraction works for you, but give it a closer look. As I started coming out of depression, I started seeing the obvious signs of what was wrong with the law of attraction. The base idea is correct: If you ask for something, believe it is already yours, and it will be. But the error is that it apes the Bible but removes the most important part. What is that? Ask anything in “prayer” and believe it is yours already, and it will be. Please do realize that I am not quoting the exact Bible verse, but you can check it under Mark 11:24. So, pray to whom? God. The law of attraction leaves out “God” and “prayer”. So, in the absence of God and prayer, whom are you asking? Universe. Really? Here is the biggest bummer — no one can take you from where you are to where you want to be. Only you have to do it. In other words, no external help or intervention will work. While this may sound empowering, do you notice that it is basically pushing you into a corner? If nobody can help and if you aren’t someone with strong willpower (which basically also comes from God), then you will fall into fear when you can’t come out of an unfortunate situation. This is exactly what happened to me. You don’t even think God can help. The second biggest bummer — you have to feel yourself to a good place, and the good feeling thoughts will add more good feeling thoughts, and you will be in a rampage of goodness. The problem here is, when you are down, you can’t get up with just a change of thoughts, unless it comes from God. Try doing it. Besides, willpower, courage, boldness, and bravery are not a function of feelings; they are a function of God. If your feelings dictate how you live, then only God can save you. In my case, He did. P.S. — Notice today’s problems? I feel like a woman. “Feeling”. See where it takes you? You don’t live on your feelings; you live on every word that comes forth from God. Here are some other obvious errors. In case of ill-health, the law-of-attraction ideology states that you start thinking of good health, and your health should improve. The problem is that terminal illness doesn’t work with these ideas. The examples of healing in terminal illness are many, and all of them (not most. All.) have to do with the person believing in God and God’s grace saving them. There are many more, but let me add just the genesis of the law-of-attraction ideology. An Ouija board was used to connect with a spirit guide, correct? What does the Bible say about spirit guides? Here, read on: Deuteronomy 18:10–12 explicitly states, “Let no one be found among you who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead”. You can read the entire passage to understand better, but I had been misled by dark forces acting as the real Source of light. I can see it now, but until 2023, I believed all that was said in the law of attraction world to be true, and yet it wasn’t working for me. No wonder I was miserable. I was looking at the ungodly and thought of them to be the true God. The true God is only one — Lord God Almighty, my Father in Heaven, His Son, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. And the best part, you can talk directly to Them and They will answer. But wait, it’s not over. You have known of people possessed by evil spirits and demons, right? Or at least seen them in movies? What does the law of attraction say about those who are demon-possessed? How do you resolve it? Let me help you. It says nothing. What does that tell you? By the way, the law of attraction does attack Jesus by calling Him out of alignment (with the Vortex) in the end days of His life, and thus ending up on the cross. What does that tell you? There is nothing left to the imagination here. We are speaking to an ungodly spirit under the guise of the law of attraction. Save yourself is all I will say, especially that I have experienced it firsthand. Anyway, friends and readers — I am just sharing this here for you’ll to take note and get help from the real Source, not made-up sources from the last few decades. God is real. And so are demons wanting to mislead you.  — — — — — — — — — — —  Image Courtesy: Space by MattioVerga at Pixabay(dot)com

No One Can Curse What God Has Blessed | Then Why So Many Living a Cursed Life? | I Think I Get It The Verse And The Saying It is a verse I have known for some time, and hence a bit unclear how it works. First, let’s see the verse. Numbers: Chapter 23 — Verse 8 How can I curse  those whom God has not cursed? How can I denounce  those whom the Lord has not denounced? The understanding is that no one, not human, not demon, not an evil spirit, can curse the one whom God has blessed. So, a blessed person can’t be taken away by the forces of evil. But is this what we see in the world today? Aren’t all of us blessed? Then, how come many of us are living a less-than-blessed life? There is something missing in our understanding, right? The Understanding | The Missing Piece I was listening to one of the Biblical speakers on YouTube and stumbled upon one of her videos where she explains this exact dilemma. You see, God thought and spoke things into being. If we read the Bible, we understand that God said “Let there be light” and there was light, and then He created all the living-verse (or universe) as we see today. The key here is “speaking” into reality. If we are built in God’s image, then we too have the power to speak things into reality. The only problem is that we do not understand, believe, or practice this truth. However, it is true, and we will see it in a moment. The only thing other than God that believes in this power of ours is the devil. The devil can see what our thoughts and words are capable of. It also knows that it can’t touch God’s creation, because God’s creation has been blessed by the Creator. But what if the evil one uses the creation’s power to curse itself? Ah, that’s kind of starting to make sense. So, the sequence goes something like this: - We are blessed by God  - So, we can’t be cursed by the evil one - However, God has given us free will - We used this free will to go away from God - This free will can also be manipulated by the evil one - The evil one manipulates the creation into believing it is living a less-than-blessed life - The creation curses its situation, circumstances, and itself  - God’s blessing is turned to a curse by the free will and speech of the creation - Mission accomplished for the evil one Not very difficult to see it now, right? This gives me a sense of what is going wrong. It happened in my life too, and I am doubly sure this has to be true. Getting Us to Harm Ourselves | The Evil Ploy All of us, at some point, have come across people who seem to be beyond believable levels of confidence. They say they are going to achieve something and achieve it. It seems like God has given a blessing more than us commoners. We envy that kind of confidence and the person. And here’s where we start to go wrong. The person who says he will achieve something and achieves it is no different from the person who says he cannot achieve anything and ends up not achieving anything. Do you see the similarity? Sadly, many are not able to see it. Whatever we speak (remember, God spoke creation into reality) to ourselves, loud or in our mind, is us, blessing or cursing ourselves. The sooner we get this truth, the sooner we put God’s power to good use. However, the evil one seems to have gotten to many already. First, we distanced ourselves from God and opened the door to the evil one. The evil one went on with the manipulation. The silent whispers telling us that “we are not worthy”, “we are enough”, “we are unlucky”, “we are dumb” are the ones that feed our subconscious with wrong ideas about ourselves, and eventually, we regurgitate the same thing ourselves. With many going through the same experience, now there is a society that believes that it is worth nothing. They even exchange notes on who is more miserable and useless. Then it becomes a reality so strong that we don’t believe we can escape it; least so, by just thinking and speaking the opposite way. Then we start blaming everybody, starting with God, the society, the government, and the list continues. And finally, the evil one gets its way. Reality is Just What We Speak Continuously | Change the Talk | Change the Reality It is as simple as that. Just speak a new reality into fruition. God’s blessing is a force that will make it happen faster than you think. In the beginning, it may seem tough. After all, not only the erstwhile speaking but also the conditioning would have made us believe in the lies. But stay put. God’s blessing cannot be undone so easily. If I get it, I am sure you get it too. Once you understand this power, you will know God’s been kind all along. All that we have to do is align with God’s blessing and live a blessed life! — — — — — — — — — — Image Courtesy: Question Mark by Peggy_Marco at Pixabay(dot)com

Edge of Things Going Wrong | Can’t be At Peace | Even When Things Are Fine Looking for Trouble The Conditioning It was not intentional, nor was it planned, but I went through conditioning that kept me at borderline anxiety, fear, and worry. Now, I was blessed with the best of things, but the environment left me in uncertainty and fear. That got coded into my subconscious, where I carried it with me for the rest of my life. The problem with that kind of mental programming is that we are always simmering. Not a single moment to wind down or relax. Even when we genuinely have a chance to relax, the mind would race to problems previously experienced, or problems yet to be dealt with, or worse still, stay on the lookout for new problems. Can you imagine what kind of life that would be? — Anxiety and fear leading to disappointment, discouragement, and depression. And all that put together would eventually have its physical manifestation as stress, leading to blood pressure or heart problems. In some extreme cases, like mine, even psoriasis and lupus. (Yep, I had been diagnosed with both. The key words are “had been”) How Did the Conditioning Affect Me? It took me a while to see that my mind was stranded at the edge of “things going wrong” or “about to go wrong”. Always standing at the edge of the cliff, fearing the possibility of falling off. It was so bad that I didn’t even know that all I had to do was turn around and notice that the solid ground (or good things) was right there. Or my inability to view the beauty that the edge of the cliff offered. I was too strongly focused on things going wrong. Why did this happen? Simply because of what I picked up from my environment. I was trained to stay safe from a never-ending barrage of problems, issues, and challenges bombarding me. It was so intense that I couldn’t feel the peace that existed. I was like the soldier on the lookout for enemies even during non-war times. The mind, heart, and the body as a whole never got respite. The only time I did find respite was when I went to sleep. But going to sleep with an anxious mind is as good as staying anxious with your eyes closed. And then I slipped into all possible physical ailments that I could have avoided. But There’s Hope | If You Can See the Problem | Then You Can Deal with the Problem I have practiced energy exercises for nearly fifteen years, and still haven’t been able to get around this issue. It took me some time to realize the issue and some more time to neutralize it. Why I wasn’t able to neutralize it immediately? It was because of some very un-obvious reasons. We will get to the un-obvious reason, but first, what did I do to put my mind at peace? (the ones that didn’t work). You see, since I use energy exercises like EFT, Ho-oponopono, and more, I realized that you need to get to the root cause of the problem to deal with the problem effectively. And since I read quite voraciously as well, I went on some solid medical sites to know the root cause of Psoriasis, Lupus and stress. Guess what, all the sites said something similar — and what was that? It is “BELIEVED” that psoriasis is…. However, the cause of psoriasis is “UNKNOWN”. It is “BELIEVED” that lupus is… however, the cause of lupus is “UNKNOWN”. Notice that even an authoritative voice on ailments isn’t sure about the ailment or its root cause. You don’t have to take my word for it. You can check for yourselves. My problem was how to use energy exercise if I didn’t know the root cause? Anyway, I dealt with the problem by taking an un-obvious route. Let’s talk about the Un-obvious. The Un-obvious | Obvious to Some | Not So Obvious to Many Having come to the biggest conclusion of the century — that no ailment’s root cause is actually known to our medical experts — I was left to fend for myself. I had to ask myself questions like — when did it first happen? What was the situation like at that time? What changed? What was I feeling? Anyone practicing energy exercise would know this line of questioning and introspection. And then something not-so-obvious turned up. I noticed the same pattern across all my ailments, mindset problems, and root causes. You see, I had been quite a religious person as a kid, with my mom insisting on praying daily. I even got married to a lady who was way more spiritual (and religious) than I was. But after my mom passed away, I somehow took prayers for granted. I thought God would anyway look after me. So, I would end up saying a five-second prayer (if I remembered) and do my usual Sunday church outings. That’s it. That’s how close (or far) to God I was. I was so far from God that He did not appear like a real Being. And society further accentuated that belief. Talking about God was uncool, and talking about my own will power, achievements was manly. Besides, I was doing well at work anyway. Why change? The thing is, God is very kind to offer us our own will, and too powerful to grab us by our ears. But you know what is not very kind? The ungodly. The first instance of a guard let-down is an open invitation to the ungodly. I had seen all those pastors and YouTube preachers say it, but here I was about to experience it myself. And I did experience. You know why I was always on the edge? Because I was constantly bombarded by an inner voice that told me… “This achievement was not good enough. Anyone could have done it. I am taking credit for something normal.” “People are just being nice to me while complimenting. They talk behind my back.” “The next deal won’t be so easy.” “There is nothing I have done so far that I can be proud of.” These are just a few of those invasive, unwanted thoughts. At that time, I thought these were mine. Now, you understand why I was on edge all the time? These are not even a small fraction of the debilitating thoughts that I endured. Now, tell me, if these weren’t my thoughts or voice, whose was it? God’s? Or the ungodly? https://youtu.be/DNiWUmRbYx0 You see that modern medicine does not have answers to our ailments. It tries to solve the symptoms and hopes that the root cause vanishes. But the real answer to the root cause is God. I experienced that too. And when I combined my energy exercises focused on God, the problems fell like a pack of cards. I started praying daily. Not because I was scared, but because I wanted to pray. The peace that I always sought was finally mine. At the edge of the cliff, I could finally see the beauty of God’s creation, and when I felt my heart filled, I could turn around and find firm ground to carry me through. I am at the edge no more. God is the answer, and Jesus is my savior! I had to share this experience so that you knew the real answer to your problems. I wish you find your solutions and peace too!! Keep at it. God is there to help! Image Courtesy: Depression by BiancaVanDijk at Pixabay(dot)com

Too Focused on the Problem | Unable to Leave It | And Therefore Unable to Look Forward What Am I Talking About? I know that's a long (ish) title, so let me elaborate. You see, this was my problem, wherein I was so shaken by an issue that I was unable to focus on the work that needed to be done. It was even worse when I knew that I couldn't do much about it anyway. For example, my father's health. He had a severe back ache because of which he had limited movement, and I did what could be done medically, physically, and emotionally. Beyond that, it was a matter of wait and watch. The medicines have to take effect, right? This wait-and-watch was the problem. I could wait, but could not take away the gaze from the problem. It was so debilitating that I couldn't even get my regular things done. And, even if I could, I couldn't give my hundred percent to my work. I can see it now, but I couldn't see it in the past. I had a big faith and trust issue. Faith and Trust? Faith and trust, simply put, are a way to believe that something good or favorable will happen. Faith and trust can equally mean to believe that something bad or unfavorable will happen. My problem was the latter. I was so scared that something could go wrong that I had no control over my mind in those instances. I had to find a solution. To be honest, the solution was always there. My mom taught me the solution when I was a kid. My wife uses the solution every single time, even now. I used that solution when I was growing up. But somewhere the success got to my head and I forgot that I wasn't the "end-all" of everything. I got into depression, and I had to be helped out of it. By what or who? By God! And He was the solution. The problem with our world today (and me following that world as a herd) is that it is "cool" and "responsible" not to talk about religion or God. It is almost criminal to be talking about God and religion. Not surprisingly, my following the crowd and the misfortune of losing my mom quickly turned me towards the herd and away from God. And every conceivable issue surfaced after that, with depression being the most prominent; not to mention psoriasis, which graduated to lupus. Oh man!! God Was Always There | I Chose to Look Away Not only did my work life, family life, and personal life get affected, but I became a scared piece of art. I lost confidence (now you understand the depression part). Didn't know how to move forward. And when I could move forward, I wasn't sure how to address problems in life (remember my dad?). Here's where faith comes to play. **Faith in God makes every problem solvable, and where you have to wait-and-watch, you can leave it under the Almighty's gaze.**. Can you imagine the freedom that comes with this kind of faith? Not only are you free, but the problem is also solved by God. Imagine that. At the end of the day, neither I nor the doctors could cure Dad, right? It had to be God. ***With that kind of belief came an intense relief!*** Now, when a problem arises, I have to pray to God and believe the Almighty Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit are in charge of the problem. And I, a mere mortal, can focus on the work that I have to do. Best part, God supports me even in the work that I do. With this kind of support, there was no chance of being timid. I could boldly go out and achieve what I had to achieve. I could trust God with my problems, and I could be more than just a regular person. Faith in God | Solution for man With the trust and belief in God, my faith is back up. Now, I can even expect things to turn out well. When I took myself out of the equation and made God the main part of the equation, the solution seemed obvious. Why did I give up what my mom so meticulously taught me? Why didn't I see my wife's successes through trust in God? Why did I choose to go after the herd that I saw only on social media or someone, whom I didn't see for more than a few hours a week? The error was not the world nor the herd. The error was planted in me, and I failed. Thanks to God, I could reclaim my life and refocus on things I have to do (which is a lot). In the meantime, I hand over my problems to God and believe He will see me through. I wish the same amount of faith (if not more) for all of you. Find God. The freedom is immense. Jesus has saved my life and given me a new direction. I hope that happens with all. In the mighty name of Jesus, I ask!!

No matter how small, don’t ever underestimate the time for exercise. It all adds up.*** What Was I Up To? The usual, the known, the mundane, the everyday thing… but…. It all adds up!! Prayer I started the day with many Rosaries. I got up quite early and put the time to good use. I'm never gonna stop saying this - God in the Day is a Godful Day! 😊 Runs | Walks | Cardio I did a two-kilometer walk today at a good brisk pace.

The record belongs to Aivars Smaukstelis (Latvia) on the set of Lo Show Dei Record, in Milan, Italy, on 21 February 2024. But what is a power stairs contest?
