Z is for Zen
“I have lived with several Zen masters – all of the cats” -Eckhart Tolle–
Zen Buddhism holds many truths and philosophies about living and having the best human experience. However, one philosophy resonates with my soul over any other about awakening. It teaches us that awakening or enlightening comes in two ways if it comes in this life.
The first way is called Satori, and that is when something clicks. You have an “aha” moment, some form of intuition slams into the back of your head, and you know you have just unearthed a truth aligned with your soul and your reasons for being. After that moment, things can never be the same because what you have just learned or witnessed can not be unseen.
The second moment, which happened to me, is called Kensho. Kensho happens after we get so low and go through a dark night of the soul (mine lasted a decade, and I wouldn’t change any of it).
Kensho is an act we must move through to say no more and finally pick ourselves up. Like the mythical phoenix who rises from the ashes to become a beautiful, majestic creature, finding fire in its belly and doing things that it could not previously or even possible.
Another beautiful idea Zen teaches us is that the source of all sin is delusion, so ask yourself the following question as you move through the seasons of your life. What I see, hear, do, think, and feel is an illusion causing my delusion.

***Next, a new FREE series of journal prompts based on the brilliance of Henry David Thoreau’s transcendentalist philosophy and ideas he wrote almost two centuries ago from Walden Pond. The idea is to explore yourself through writing in a way you have not done so until now. So, bring a pen and paper (or laptop) and give yourself full permission for the words to flow like the river of life. The secret to this fun and exciting journey is to be as vulnerable as possible and seek answers by asking questions (if you ask a question, the universe has to provide a solution).****
Y is for Yin- Yang
“Yin and yang. The qualities that make us human. As though our lives play out on an immense balance scale – move one way, the scale tips to the left, but move the other, and it swings to the right.”
– Abramelin Keldor –
The Yin-yang is the ultimate symbol of duality. Feminine v masculine, light v dark, good v evil.
The symbol is a beautiful swirling image that flows into each other and is stamped with a dot from the opposite sides. The bubble seeps through is a reminder that in all good lurks some evil, and out of all evil can be found some good.
Light and dark is the cyclical representation that shows the impermanence of all things. Think seasons or a 24-hour day. Wherever you are reading this in the world, you are about to witness this in nature. Winter is either coming or going, meaning that the spring will begin to show the birth of a new light or autumn has put the plants to sleep. A new moon and a new world.
We shall search for the good as we emerge from the evil that has enveloped the world for the past few years.
The yin-yang can also be a personal reminder that no matter where you are on your journey, you are capable of both sides of this cultural coin.

X is for X-ray-vision
He wished he had some kind of X-ray vision for the human heart.
-Kim Edwards-
If you could choose a superpower, what would it be?
How about X-ray vision, the ability to fly, super-human strength, time travel or teleportation? How about all of the above?
When we go inside and sit in the empty, dark void, shutting out the 3-D sensory world, that is precisely the time when we can work on such superpowers. Limitless possibilities in the quantum field can be manufactured in the alchemy of our minds. We can time travel, see places we usually can’t see with our eyes, and visualize things that nobody can.
Lucid dreaming and Astral projections are two well-documented ways to make all these fantastic superpowers real (I have not enjoyed these experiences yet). If you have tried lucid dreaming or astral projection, please let the community know what it feels like because all that matters here is your world experience. It matters not what anyone else says.
So, What is your superpower? Do you have more than one?

W is for Will
“The kingdom comes, thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.” Matthew 6:10, King James Bible
Willpower! Do you have it? If you answered No, fear not because it can be developed over time.
When we have willpower and dominion over our bodies, we can do almost anything in this life.
One way to do this is to teach your body how to automate positive actions that improve your life. Enhancing your life is akin to training a dog to sit and stay. Over time, repeated behaviour will automate a conditioned response with practice, and eventually, the body will naturally take this action.
For example, if the location has energy and time has memory (and it does), this means that by doing an activity at the same time and in the same place every day, we begin to tell our body that every day at 8 am, we will go to this location and do this thing.
Essentially, we develop an intentional pattern instead of unconsciously repeating patterns placed inside us by the countless archetypes we have encountered throughout our lives. Once you cultivate and grow your will, you will power yourself through the things that seemed difficult in the past.
Repeated training of your body will allow you to craft a life of mastery. In doing so, you won’t be a follower of the crowd. You will not eat the cookie when you are on a diet. Instead, you will control your thoughts as they arise in your head. You will be able to have a review, see the idea, and then watch that thought pass on without having to act impulsively contradictory to your values and beliefs.
It comes down to keeping promises; once again, proving how we speak to ourselves is critical.
If you are the girl, who gets complimented for having a lovely dress and then says something like “It was on sale” or “Yours is nicer,” these statements go against the will of someone with personal mastery. Instead, just say thank you and leave it at that.
I am not suggesting that others are not better at certain things than we are. Instead, I recommend that we take our mastery to the next level with the power of will.
If you have the will to survive, you are the ultimate survivor. If you can finish the race or do the hard thing you don’t want to, please know that it will make you better than a master over your domain.
We often see a competitor ‘will’ themselves to victory in sports. They may seem down and out. But, battered, bruised, and broken, their will was never in doubt, and that is why even when their gas tank is empty, they somehow ‘will’ themselves through the pain of defeat.
The greatest thing about the power of will is that it is a teachable skill. Once installed as a habit, then no one can stop you. So, my only question is, Do you have the ‘will’?

V is for Visualisation
“Visualisation is daydreaming with a purpose.” -Bo Bennett-
If you can visualize your future and hold that intention in your mind every day, there will come a time when you will meet that future vision in the present moment. You will know because it will feel familiar, like you’ve been there before, and feel right. As if you were expecting it.
The alternative is not visualizing your future and stumbling through life ‘hoping’ for things. In that case, there is a chance that you will get them, but there is a better chance that you will walk right past the future you want as it appears.
Something remarkable unfolds when you visualize the future you want and focus on daily. First, you start to notice events, people, and circumstances that align with your intention appear in your life. Then, because you consistently focus on that future outcome, your brain (specifically the RAS or reticular activating system) finds a path forward, showing you how to do it.
Visualization, affirmations, intention, and a disciplined work ethic will lead you to the future you want, but you must also have faith, desire and belief.
When you combine faith, desire and belief, then sprinkle in a bit of visualization, you will manifest opportunities set up by the Universe so that you can take the path toward your dreams.
It may appear as a conversation you hear on a bus or a song on the radio delivering a message meant for us. The synchronicities spark ideas and become so apparent after a while that when it happens to me, I laugh a little, smile and say thank you.
In The Alchemist, Paulo Coelho said, “When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you get it.” The way you let the Universe know how to help us get what you want is by Visualisation.
