Karmic Guidance Interpretation Eg. From Lord Krishna


Life on Earth is expected to be difficult from the soul’s perspective. since the intention of life is to transcend negative energies into positive.

Sometimes, challenges planned can be tormenting to an individual soul who feels alienated from its real home on the celestial plane. Hence, we have friends in heaven who enter into contract with us to help in executing our life-plan on Earth. These friends are called our Spirit Guides.

The duration of a contract to help may last a life-time or it may be made specifically for shorter phases, applying to a limited period during which the soul may require special or expert guidance.

Our spirit guides, give guidance to us through a given lifetime, while remaining in the non-physical dimensions or by incarnating with us as friends, teachers etc.

If in the non-physical dimension, the spirit guides communicate telepathically by sending thoughts to our minds—through intuition, insight and dreams.

If on Earth, the spirit guides help us connect to our soul selves by offering insights which help us change our core negative belief patterns. Their intention is to help us free ourselves from the vicious clutches of negativity.

Following the guidance is, usually, challenging from conventional social wisdom, but helps us evolve to a more liberated, less negative way of thinking.

Once born on Earth we do not remember our spirit guides, nor do we recall who we truly are as souls, or have been in our past lives.

If our spirit guides incarnate with us as our friends, teachers or soul-mates, we usually develop an instant liking to them without any rational reason if we meet them, in person or through books, films etc.

Irrespective of whether we can decipher their presence or not, these spirit guides are there. The spirit guides are distinguished by the fact that they act like university professors, ready to help, but not to spoon-feed.

They offer guidance but the responsibility for learning the intended life lessons rests with the student.

Unlike ghosts from the dark sides., spirit guides do not threaten, bribe or force. They work more by using love as a driving force than magic or ritual.

If we make choices which can lead to us devolving as souls, they warn us on the dire consequences of our present thinking orientation, but do not create fear in us of the worst.

They help us correct our wrong choices and be more positive whereas ghosts from the dark side create fear in us and make us brood about worst possible outcomes.

The interference from ghosts makes us feel more negative or worried or fearful from within whereas the interference from the spirit guides makes us feel more relaxed, loved and whole.

The spiritual guidance is typically from a soul’s perspective, i.e., a perspective which takes time as eternal, unlike Earth time, which is finite. Therefore, its practical application is realistic from the perspective of soul evolution and may appear unrealistic from the perspective of attaining our immediate goals.

However, if we dare to follow the guidance, it leads to greater success and happiness in life than which we can imagine from our limited human vision.

It is important to note that the guidance given completely depends on interpretation for its accuracy. The guidance is similar to that given by the Gods in some religious scriptures, which has often been misinterpreted, leading to spread of darkness rather than light.

 

 

For example, in the Bhagvad Gita, Lord Krishna says—‘Take action. Don’t worry about the fruit’. Most people take this line to mean that God is asking us to take action and not expect fruit from it— probably like in selfless service. However, that is not how it is meant if each word is carefully interpreted.

The words are—‘Don’t worry’, not ‘Don’t Expect’.

It is unlikely that the Lord did not know the word

‘Expect’ and hence he used the word ‘Worry’. Considering that we are talking about God, it is most likely that the most specific word in context was used.

In this famous sentence, Lord Krishna is actually telling us not to have negative expectations. He is asking us not to worry because worry is a negative expectation. Negative energy acts as blocks in the flow of positive energy.

It is natural for a seed to bear fruit, i.e. it is natural that our effort should bear a reward. The only way it cannot happen is when we worry about it and keep digging the ground instead of letting the seed grow. Our doubts, i.e., negative energy created by our thoughts obstruct the flow of creative energy from bearing positive results.

A negative thought amounts to a negative action from the soul’s perspective of reality.

By worrying, we, metaphorically, expect the negative. It is like we keep digging the ground to check whether the seed is growing or not instead of allowing the seed to grow by itself.

It takes time for a thought to get converted into reality but all consistent thoughts do get converted into our reality whether we intend them to or not.

When we worry, we focus on the negative and hence, unconsciously manifest the negative. So, we sometimes make the wrong choices and incur losses where we would have gained had we focused on feeling positive, internally.

Hence, Lord Krishna says that instead of worrying we can consistently take action to speed up the manifestation of our desires. Taking action to manifest positive expectations is as important as not worrying about its outcome.

Secondly, it is important to bear in mind that the rewards may not necessarily mean financial rewards, as rewards can also come in the form of positive energy and happiness.

Herein, it may be noted that selfless service is not selfless from the soul’s perspective, since it aids in soul evolution. From the soul’s perspective, the concept of selfless service does not exist because every action yields some energy, whether it is in material form or not. No act can be considered selfless as the soul seeks to gain some energy from it. Selfless service can help the soul gain respect or repay earlier karma. Either way it would help the soul in gaining positive energy and raising its vibrational frequency.

Barring rare exceptions, every seed has to bear fruit. That is the natural law of the universe.

The soul does not recognize money as such, as the soul cannot directly feel a physical, tangible reality. As long as the energy exchange is positive, the soul has benefited from the act.

Hence, each action bears fruit as long as it is taken with a positive intention.

But, if our efforts yield more negativity in our lives than positivity, it is like sowing seeds in the wrong way and eating bitter fruit.

Therefore, whether rewards from an action come in the form of money or not, every effort we undertake should naturally help us feel positive in some way. Otherwise, it may be more useful not to do it.

Evolutionary History of Human Education

Shiva Swati

Charles Darwin’s research as published in his book “ The Origin Of Species “ , propagated the theory of Survival of the Fittest , which suggests that animals survive in the jungles by killing and defeating others less capable than the fittest. 

Animals killed because they depended on scarce resources. If you 

did not kill as an animal, you were amongst those who were 

eaten. Competition evolved as a tool of survival because animals 

genuinely needed to develop competitive fighting skills to survive. 

However, due to the repetitive energy cycles which govern all energy 

movement in the universe, these dominant thought cycles continued to repeat 

though external circumstances kept changing as humans evolved from 

animals.

Human beings continued to believe in the illusion that if you are not

a winner, you would be a victim without any genuine cause. Though, 

there was no animal-like associated helplessness arising from an 

inability to grow resources, definitions of success and power were 

blindly carried over from the animal mind-set. 

Success in the animal world, came from defeating others because resources 

were not enough for all; and they could not grow resources as human 

beings could; but success in the human world was falsely assumed to 

be that which came from defeating others wherein scarcity was 

artificially created for fun or learning. 

Just as power in the animal world was equated with violence and 

killing, power in the human world was defined by emotional bullying/ 

killing of the optimistic human spirit. . 

Therefore, success and power in the human world, as blindly imitated from 

the animal world, were defined by a survival instinct and not by an increase 

in inner peace or happiness. 

Thus, it came about that, as human beings advanced from animals, 

their bodies evolved but the thinking patterns remained stuck at 

rudimentary energy cycles where the belief was that ‘you have to 

competitively crush others to dominate ‘.It was firmly believed that 

competition was necessary to survive as it had been when human 

ancestors were animals. 

Hence, though teeth were replaced by guns as the brain 

evolved from being animal-like to human-like, the 

technological improvement did not erase the primitive need to 

kill to survive. The concept of the ‘enemy ‘and ‘a need to kill 

another’s spirit to survive oneself’ continued to be accepted as 

gospel. 

This crux of fear based thinking has not changed though human 

civilization has evolved technologically. A vicious circle of scarcity and 

competition has resulted as a circuitous chain of evolution. 

Circumstances of life manifest in alignment with dominant thinking cycles. 

Since there was a belief in scarcity of resources, it manifested such that human beings genuinely feel trapped in cycles of scarcity wherein the scarcity 

is inappropriately advertised by excessive focus on comfort, greed,

deprivation, fear, poverty, future dangers and traditional criteria of right 

& wrong. Usually, individual consciousness is ruled over by mass 

consciousness and we allow others to decide how life should be. 

The education system has developed an imitative mechanism of 

learning such that, the cycle of feeling helpless individually and as a 

mass, has continued automatically from the competitive animal’s 

mind-set. In alignment with the laws of automatic repetition of 

energy cycles, instead of promoting meaningfulness and peace in life, 

education has been imparted in a way which has fueled energies of 

compromise, helplessness and negative competition. 

Animals felt helpless without competing because their intelligence 

was limited to grabbing food and shelter whereas human beings feel 

helpless without competition and bitterness, because of repeated 

patterns of thinking being carried over from animal conditioning. 

Logic is ignored by repetitive energy/ thought cycles until it is 

imposed by deliberate changes in the super-structure made by a 

higher, more positive consciousness. 

The human soul is a co-creator unlike the animal soul which is 

a passive receiver. Therefore, the responsibility of creation of 

happiness, peace and sufficient resources for survival is as much 

human as God’s in the human world. We cannot blame God or 

external factors for our problems just as the primitive man could not 

blame God for not giving rain on time.

Abundance can be created in the human world by choice, unlike the 

animal world which is dependent on luck and rain. The imaginative/

abstract / creative brain power which human beings have and 

animals do not have, automatically places humans on a higher realm of feeling intricacies of life and being in control.

Why Is Knowledge Of The Soul Needed?

 When we start indeed the concept of the soul , the mind-set is often that of speculation. Could concepts like the souls being creators or the existence of an alternate world be real; as real as the fact that a wooden table is made of wood, or 

are they simply illusions, a part of a fantasy world, which may or may not exist? 

While worrying about what is reality or truth, and what is 

illusion or fantasy, in abstract aspects of life, we need to be 

aware that reality is not an absolute concept, but more a matter 

of perception. Everything is not made of wood and hence 

cannot be measured on the same scale.

The concept of the soul is an abstract concept, as concepts like 

truth, honesty, God or heaven are. The belief that the soul 

exists cannot be seen or touched by the naked eye, as the 

wooden chair can be. Yet, it can prove to be very useful in 

helping us understand our inner selves. 

Those who have a problem with believing in the term ‘soul’, can 

also use alternate terms like ‘‘the inner self’, ‘the me within’ etc. 

Knowing ourselves from within is necessary so that a resonance 

is achieved between our inner needs of evolution and our 

material needs. 

This resonance between external/material or bodily needs, and 

our internal/emotional or soul needs works to ensure that the 

efforts we put in towards achieving what we desire externally, 

get us rewards which give us satisfaction from within. Otherwise, 

it has often been experienced in our world that hard work gets us success 

and money, but does not necessarily lead to happiness.

Finding ourselves, as souls, helps to break this recurring 

dichotomy between the needs of the body and those of the soul. 

When we discover our soul identity, we break free from the 

negative clutches of a so-called reality of life, towards an 

alternate perception of reality, i.e., the reality of life as viewed 

from our soul’s perspective.

For example, a life-threatening problem which may cause us 

intense anxiety from the worldly perspective appears an illusion 

from the perspective of the soul which cannot die. When we 

realize this illusory dimension of worldly matters, we seek to 

understand what the soul is gaining from creating these negative 

experiences, which are essentially unreal. That knowledge aids 

us in healing ourselves by defeating the fatalism within us. 

In this process, we arrive at a more complex dynamics of all that 

which life on Earth entails, from the soul’s perspective of 

evolution. Thus, we reach a higher level of consciousness.

Entering the world of the soul is a step by step process, which 

begins with finding how our subconscious mind works, because 

our subconscious mind is the channel through which 

information passes from the body to the soul and vice versa.

In this book, we use a logic based approach to understand the 

world of our soul. The intention is to bring the soul out of the 

world of magic, into a sphere of scientific logic, wherein we can 

understand its energies and use them with conscious, rational 

awareness to create exactly what we desire in life, in the

emotional or physical plane. 

This is necessary to remove the fear of the unseen realms from 

our rational minds so that we can focus on our dreams without 

being dwarfed by fearing the unexpected, the worst or the 

unknown.

From the soul’s perspective, by developing knowledge of the 

invisible world of the soul, we make our soul’s presence active

while making everyday choices of life. Instead of worshipping 

God on a pedestal, we allow ourselves to take action in 

alignment with the energies of the Oneness. We, thus, put light 

on the hidden or dark parts of our energies and clear channels 

for the Creator’s power to work with us.

We start entering the world of our soul by finding how our 

subconscious mind perceives the external world, how we form a 

positive or negative interpretation of reality, and how our 

perception affects our deep sense of identity. This knowledge 

would later help us decipher how our soul uses the physical 

body to achieve its purpose of incarnation on Earth.

Marriage becomes Sad if Internal Dominant Focus is Negative

 This blog is an excerpt from my book- CREATION OF HAPPINESS; THE ENERGY WAR, A SOUL'S PERSPECTIVE


www.shivaswati.com

 

            The negative feeling is created whenever the energy we focus upon in our minds is of a low frequency or dense/close-knit like in a cob-web. For instance, when we feel sad, lonely, angry, afraid, helpless, hurt, rejected, guilty, lazy, upset, rigid etc. we vibrate at a lower frequency than our usual soul frequency.

 

            Therefore, by choosing to feel negative internally, we allow negative energy, to block our soul vibrations and therefore, devolve in terms of soul evolution.

            Our beliefs about life are often conditioned such that we get tuned into suppressing our negative feelings for the sake of maintaining a positive exterior front.   However, our positive self talk fails to help us if we feel negative within, irrespective of how it should be as per our beliefs and conventions.

 

            For example, if we are in a marriage (or in a job) where we have several differences with our partner, we may tell ourselves repeatedly that we are coping up happily but go on feeling sad within. The negative feelings would reach our soul, not what we tell ourselves consciously, since the soul only feels us at an energy level; it cannot hear our self rationalization.

 

            When we cheat our soul, we feel internally helpless and our bounce of life drops because the soul is like the filament of a bulb. It keeps getting its power from the main source of Life, through invisible energy circuits, which connect the soul to its Higher Self.

            If the focus of the body is on negativity, these energy circuits get clogged and the connection of the bulb to the source of light gets weakened.

            The soul can no longer connect to the Light and hence, it no longer feels positive. Its frequency lowers.

 

             Like a fused bulb filament, it feels trapped inside the body, unable to connect to or radiate life force. However, unlike the machine filament, the soul doesn’t permanently die. It has a unique consciousness, and the power to revive through exercise of its will.

            When the soul feels blocked it tries to restore back to its original frequency. To raise its frequency, it has to reconnect to the main source of Light.

            To reconnect to the light, it has to clear its energy circuits by removing all thoughts and beliefs which make it focus on the negative. Hence, our soul tries to break that structure around us, which forces us to focus on the negative aspects of life.

 

            For example, the soul which feels blocked in a marriage or in a job would try to remove this obstacle which it perceives is the cause of lowering its frequency. Thus, irrespective of our positive self-talk, our soul energy would pull us subconsciously to break the marriage or leave the job.

           

            If we ignore our subconscious pull, we would go on feeling sad. Overtime, due to feeling sad, we would develop mental and physical diseases, as there would be a consistent focus on stress and release of negative hormones in the body. The negative feelings would keep lowering the soul frequency, and our situation would turn from bad to worse as we go on reinforcing our focus on the negative situation.

            The only way to help our soul feel positive would be to make ourselves feel good, not merely tell ourselves that we feel okay. Feeling good internally would be a more honest experience and would necessitate changing a negative pattern of thinking or working or living.

           

            To feel good, we would need to release illusory fears of survival, which may be the reason for us to want to continue living in the negative experience.  Or we may have to break persistent, harmful habits which create problems in our job or marriage like laziness, impatience, rigidity of thinking, refusal to adopt positive beliefs, lack of self-discipline etc. In either case, feeling good within would require learning of soul lessons, failing which we would continue feeling negative.

 

             Negative feelings aid in soul evolution because they force us to learn soul lessons. If feeling negative did not cause us pain, we could conveniently drift through life, without making any effort to evolve to a better quality of existence.

Energy War Between Positive & Negative Energies

 

reality of life, as viewed from the perspective of our soul is bound to be different than when viewed from the perspective of the body because our soul lives eternally. The soul views time in a continuum, unlike our rational mind that is governed by limitations of the body which dies overtime.

The soul realizes that if one body dies, it can reincarnate in another body and continue on its journey of evolution.

A physical body is like a house, the soul chooses to inhabit for the period of a life-time. It is said that souls pass through different life-times as clouds pass through skies. Each life experience helps the soul evolve to a higher dimension.

In human bodies of different kinds, colours, creeds and genres, the soul plans a variety of experiences which help us evolve in unique ways.

 

One life, for the soul, is just like one step in its ladder of evolution. The difficulties which seem fatal when viewed from the vision of limited time and space of one life-time, appear as challenges to be overcome when viewed from the perspective of our eternal soul.

 

 

 

The Energy War

 

Understanding the working of this alternate reality, that is, reality, as viewed from the perspective of the soul, is particularly useful when everything in life appears to be going wrong, when one does not understand why life is taking the turns that it is, and when the WHY ME syndrome takes over - often, deluding reasoning.

 

When we view our life-time as part of a journey and not as a one-time experience, then we can view difficulties as road blocks, driving through which enhances our expertise. Overcoming difficulties helps in soul evolution.

 

Realizing happiness in life for the soul is like winning an Energy War between negative energies which block our happiness by making us focus on fear and competition and the opposing positive energies within us. As souls, we seek to express our inner pure self freely, so that we can experience joy and laughter while going through the walks of life. But, usually we lose the war when we live feeling stressed and die feeling diseased.

 

The soul continues on the same journey of challenges till it can radiate its light fully i.e. till it realizes happiness in the path chosen, even if the process takes several life-times.

 

So, if we make choices which make us feel pangs of emptiness often, where we keep questioning why we do what we do but keep feeling obliged to remain bound by a system of organization in order to meet our financial or traditional commitments; then, we need to be aware that if our body dies feeling compromised in any area of life, we would reincarnate with similar problematic circumstances. Death will not solve problems.

 

Our soul would not die with the body and the thought we die with would remain with us in the next body till we can transcend it. The energy which makes us feel negative never dies. Only the physical matter dies.

The energy remains and tries to free itself from feeling bound or compromised again, in whichever area of life it dies feeling negative.

 

Hence, as souls, we keep repeating experiences, which make us feel incomplete, underutilized and helpless till we can transcend the difficulties, as obstacles to be overcome, find what happiness means to our individual sensibilities and realize it.

 

Our soul seeks to win the Energy War it finds itself entangled in the ups and downs of life, by defeating the negative energies which prevent it from feeling happy or content from within.

 

The soul has to succeed in feeling happy, successful and joyous in order to evolve to a higher positive frequency; and usually the war is more within the self than external since how worthy or powerful, we feel internally affects how we make our choices and compromises externally.

Heart Chakra Healing

 

Different chakras have different functions. They influence both the emotional and physical health of the person.

 

For example, if a person’s success is blocked, the sacral chakra needs healing. If one has heart problems or has problems in relationships, the heart chakra and the solar plexus need healing. If the person has communication problems, the throat chakra has to be balanced.

 

If the chakras are clogged with negative energy, positive energy does not flow smoothly through them. Therefore, energy mobilization towards creating a positive reality does not take place.

In fact, if the chakras are excessively clogged, the process of positive creation gets blocked, even though we may visualize or try to feel manifestation happening.

Negative energies keep getting generated and blocking the process of creation, since adequate positive energy does not radiate from low functioning chakras.

 

This happens because the body is the soul’s machine for transmitting energies of creation. If the machine malfunctions, energies cannot be transmitted. If the chakras are blocked, doubts and fears overrule one’s focus of feelings. It becomes impossible to maintain a sustained focus on our desires with constant disruptions coming up. Metaphorically, if the car’s brakes are not working well, we cannot drive fast even if the road is clear.

Hence, to be able to channelize energies for the purposes of creation, to manifest what we desire to experience in life, it is important to clear, heal and balance the chakras so that they transmit the energies of creation clearly in a strong, sustained focus path.

 

Chakras get blocked by a focus on negative feelings. Negative energy concentrations act like road blocks and prevent the smooth flow of positive soul force to the body. The blockage accumulates over long periods of time and, hence, usually involves factors like traumatic past lives, difficult childhood experiences, negative beliefs about life held from family generations etc.

 

Chakras get cleared as we emotionally evolve by a deliberate focus on staying positive and on learning soul lessons. Meditative states where we focus on staying thoughtless, help in clearing the negative flow of energies and, therefore, clear chakras.

 Energy healing practices like Reiki, Pranik healing, Chakra cleansing meditation, Past Life therapy etc. also help in clearing chakras as they loosen the hold of the negative energy on the person by making him aware/conscious of his subconscious states of mind.

However, only the mechanical cleansing of chakras by itself cannot help in creation, as it has to be sustained through a focus on expecting the positive in the present and future.

If we clean the chakras as a routine meditative process, but allow ourselves to focus on negative aspects of life, chakras repeatedly get clogged.

Tips on handling criticism

 These are main points of handling criticism. the energy healing methods of the same in detail are given in my book - REDEFINING HAPPINESS, a soul's perspective


http://www.shivaswati.com/

5 key points for handling criticism

1.      Take criticism in an emotionally detached manner. Be non-judgmental with yourself.

2.      Hear criticism in a third person position. Be an observer to the event, than taking it in directly.

3.      Keep an emotional barrier like an imagined glass wall between you and the abusive person. That would filter out the negative energy, subconsciously, and help you find if there is anything useful in the words spoken

4.      Cut emotional attachments with the person who is negatively dominating by using the process of EMOTIONAL CORD CUTTING and throw out negative energies which harm your body. Do not feel inferior if the other person does not agree with your personality or your perspective of life. Repel away the negativity trying to come into you as you would repel a dark force. The negativity is infectious as it keeps corrupting the mind like a virus.

5.      Instead of focusing on words which hurt, focus on the underlined feelings or the thoughts communicateded. If some part of you agrees with the criticism, ask yourself why. Pay attention to any positive energy coming from the words spoken. Let the useful elements of the criticism come inside your mind. However, before choosing to integrate them in your behavior, enact the suggested changes in your mind. If you feel happy mentally with the results, then you can choose to be the changed person.


Self-Love Is Not Narcissism

Many people misunderstand self-love as selfishness or narcissism. In reality, self-love is a practice of creating positivity within yourself...
