Activating Miraculous Success

Part 3, Exploring the Depth of Emotion

By Lazaris

Parts I and II of Activating Miraculous Success ran in the last two issues of New Moon Rising. They are important to maximizing The Pool of Emotion meditation and the techniques that follow it, they explain the Secrets and the Treasures you find at the bottom of the Pool of Emotion. If you aren't able to locate the back issues you need, please call Concept: Synergy at 800/678-2356, and they will be glad to send you copies.

And now a meditation.

Find your comfortable position, and allow yourself to gently close your eyes to gently close your eyes.

And as your eyes are closed, allow your body to begin to relax. Use whatever method of relaxation, whatever technique of going deeper works best for you: counting in descending or ascending order, clearing your mind, or filling it with beautiful pictures, creating a gentle bubble of silence, or speaking to yourself mentally. Whatever works, whatever you have learned and have conditioned your body to respond to. Allow yourself to relax.

You will find yourself first in a clearing following the day as it begins and as it ends into the night. Then you find your way in the dark, in the black of night into the earth into a world that is beyond that of the inner worlds of your imagination, that is the Underworld, the realm of the Unconscious Mind.

There a path will lead you, a beautiful path that you will follow easily and gently until it is time to leave the path into the Unknown and wend your way, make your way, through the thicket, through the density of forest, to a pond, to a lovely pool banked by soft green grass, and gentle lazy trees, willows that weep their branches into the water.

The Pool of Emotion. It is blue and inviting, yet deeper than you know. And you will enter that pool, going through the depth of emotion; through all those contracting emotions that you've convinced yourself you fear, but that you feel and deal with and respond to and react to every day of your life.

And you descend until you reach the real emotions that scare you most of all. Those emotions felt, gone through, experienced, symbolically, until you reach the very bottom, until you reach the very depth.

And here you begin uncovering the treasures with your Higher Self, uncovering the treasures that can, in turn, lead to the miraculous success that can be yours.

And as you are relaxed now, having used the sound of our voice, as well as the words, having done what works for you to let your body know, to instruct it to enter a state of total relaxation.

Total relaxation, total relaxation. Total relaxation.

We will count from seven to one. With each descending number you will go deeper until the count of one. You will find yourself in an early morning clearing before the day has begun.

Seven letting go now six relax five four three two one.

Sense yourself there. Grey dawn, silent trees, dew-wet grass, silent mist, early morn.

As you face the east awaiting the sun, awaiting the first sliver of crimson light that will skid along the horizon, trumpeting the rise of the ball of fire in your life.

And there it is, the sliver of red. And then the sun rises. Slowly it lumbers out of its sleep filling the sky with light, stirring the mist as though it were a stew, waking the leaves with its breath absorbing the dew. Morning has broken the silence and stillness of night.

And the fire-red ball lifts to orange and yellow until it becomes a tiny ball of fiery light.

And in the brilliance of dawn in the early morn, where shadows stretch long to the west, you welcome the sun. For today you muster the energy to create the field of force, a resonance of miraculous success. And so you welcome the sun enthusiastically.

And as it rises to the midmorning height, gentle breezes blow, you smell the fragrances of first daylight. The gentle breeze, the sound whistling in the trees, the smells, the touch, the sight. The touch, the taste.

Turning to the south, lying back in the sweet grass, the smell of new-mown hay, waiting the zenith of the day. Waiting for her to reach her height to fire your imagination with clarity and insight.

And in the heat of day, the bake of warmth and sun melts away the fears with trickles of perspiration on brow and sweat upon the neck.

And you smile behind your closed eyes, feeling the caress, the embrace, the kiss.

As the sun passes her zenith you too pass to turn to the west to await the last light, for the set of sun. And facing this westerly direction as the sun catches up with you and begins to lower. The bottom rim touches the top of trees silhouetting what was green now into a monochromatic black.

The glorious ball of light enlarges, you know it's just the atmosphere, but a huge disk now of glorious red light smears colors of purples and pinks, magentas, across the heavens. A glorious sunset.

And as the lower edge touches the rim of earth, the sun moves on to bring a day yet to another place upon the earth. As you wait for night.

And as the light begins to lower, that very magic time: the twilight hour, where the night sneaks out from its hiding place silently to replace the day, to embrace you with a soft cool silence, to give back more than was taken away.

You turn now to the north to face the dark, the cold, the winter of your day, to face the death of black empty nothing. Clouds cover the heavens, blanketing the earth, and the crescent moon that would have been is nowhere in sight.

It is now that you stand and walk, as though blind, with hands reaching furtively into the dark, with feet shuffling along the now wet, slippery grass, into the dark, into the black, into the death of night. Leaving behind all your fears, all your doubts, all your concerns, considerations. Letting loose of all you've been taught about where you're going. Letting loose of fears, of intensities, of getting lost, of what you might find in this death, in this dark.

And as you find your way, eyes wide, trying to absorb light that is not there, you finally see a sliver, a slit of red, not horizontal, no, but vertical this time. Not a rising sun, but an entry into the earth.

Drawn to it, this sliver of crimson, like a trickle of blood, drawn to it. For here is a curtain, a veil, a portal from one world to another.

And as you slip through this sliver of red crimson light into the earth, you shall enter into a tunnel, a corridor, a cave that runs deep. Following its descent, curving left and right, wherever it shall lead you, following where it takes you.

Deeper. Moving quickly now. Drawn by the enthusiasm of where you go. Drawn to the portal deep in the earth to the Underworld.

And as you round the very last bend; you didn't know it was the last `til you rounded it, there, the door, the entry, the way in.

You stop and walk, now slowly, catching breath. And to the door, the portal whether plain, ornate, or simply old cloth over an opening, you cross a threshold.

And as you step over the threshold you step upon a path, a glorious path of concrete or asphalt, or packed clay. It is smooth, it is wide. No holes, no potholes, no obstacles here, no hurdles to overcome. No trickery, no struggle, no pain, no hardship.

And as you look behind you, surprise, not a door, but a road, the ribbon of road that stretches way into the past that has always been there, always smooth.

As you turn forward again to proceed, you walk along this path under the beautiful blue sky of a day with tall trees: willows and wispy birches and evergreens. Meadows and fields and gentle lakes and ponds. Old people sit and ponder the past, children play, giggle and laugh, as you walk the path. Following, going where it takes you, following its way, easily, joyously, with each step more confidence, more sure of yourself. Heading toward a place that you know; a pool of emotion.

As you walk along your way you come to where it is time to leave the path. You know, you stop, you stand. Hesitate but a moment, you turn and walk into the unknown, into a thickness of forest where the trees are a blue-green, where the bark is almost black, where the soil is moist, where the sun has not yet absorbed its moisture, has not yet taken it back.

And into this dark thicket you go undaunted by what you don't know. Lifting branch to walk under, stepping over felled tree trunk, rotting branch, feeling the squish of soft humus soil, the sponge of decaying leaves and branch and twig.

This way and that you go. Until you come once again to a clearing, this one different than before. A clearing of soft green grass that gently rolls down to the edge of a pond where water is so very still and blue like morning glories. Where trees outline and reflect. Where willows weep their branches into the water.

You walk to the edge. A pool of emotion. Herein lies all your feeling. Here is the well of your feelings.

You stare for what seems a long time. It's not that big, the pond, not that far across. But it is deep. That you can tell. That you can see.

You kick off what covers your feet and remove what clothing you might, for deep in this pond, far beyond your sight, are treasures, are glorious treasures locked in little treasure chests.

At the bottom you'll find your destiny, and the meaning of life, the sense that it makes. You will find your personality; not one you must conjure and make, but one that is so natural, so you.

As you step deeper, knee-deep in the water that's so gentle, soft, and cool, at the bottom you'll find image that always precedes a miraculous reality.

You will find character: the ideals, the principles and the ease of adhering automatically so that you might forego guilt so often used in its stead, so you might forego pity.

You'll find your motivation, your identity, and your creativity. You will find your strength.

Deeper you go to your waist, to your midriff, to chest and armpit, to shoulder, neck, to chin, to lower lip, to upper lip, to nostril.

You close your eyes. Step in. To your eyebrows you're deep in your feeling. One more step, breathing normally in this special pool, step off the edge.

And let yourself begin a descent. Let yourself begin a descent. Slowly descending now. Deeper you're going. The water's cooler, you feel the pressure against your skin. Your feet are like lead pulling you down, pulling you deeper, deeper.

Sinking into the depth. Let yourself start feeling. Let yourself start feeling. Like layers of thermal layers in the water. Come across the feelings; which ones first?

Those that are contracting, the lighter of all the emotions you have! Significant, yes, but less so than the heavy ones of love. Feel what is there. Let it be perhaps your anger. Perhaps your fear comes shuddering over you.

Images come to mind, pictures, scenarios, montages tumble by. Childhood rage of anger. Adolescent hurt. Humiliation. Pictures of betrayal, of abandonment, of treachery, of rage, of fury. Let yourself feel the emotions. All those that contract within you. All those you feared and pretended were never there.

Let yourself feel. Let yourself feel them. Let them bubble up inside of you. Let them fill your mind, fill your imagination.

Hearing the shout of mother's voice that sends shudders through your spine. Hear the rejections, the laughter, and the humiliations. Feel the grit of teeth, the revenge you promised yourself. Feel the dig of your nails in your palm.

And let loose the rage. Let the furies explode!

Swept by depressions perhaps. Swamped with guilt. Feel!

Let the pictures come of all the hurts and pains, of angers and furies and rage! All the humiliations, the rejections. Let them all come tumbling out, no order, just randomly flooding you. Causing you to twirl and spin head over heels, heels back over head.

Twirled and swirled as though taunted and tormented, as though being made a fool. Sense it laughing at you. Sense it trying to swallow you up.

Sinking deeper. Deeper now. Feel the pity. Oooh the pity. Oh poor me!

Feel the martyr; the tightening of the jaw, the lift of the chin, the arrogance of rising above it, as you sink deeper within.

Feel the blame like huge undulation under your skin.

Feel the righteousness come bubbling out of you, oozing out of you.

Feel the pressure pounding in your temples! Feel the pain.

Deeper now. Deeper. All the emotions you were sure you didn't have, all the ones you were afraid to feel. Don't hold them back! Let them pour out of you as though the pressure of the depth is squeezing them.

They ooze out of you until you don't know if you can stand it anymore! Feel it screaming in your mind, deafening you!

Until your feet sink through up to your knees, something's different, to your waist, to your midriff, to your heart.

Until you come into the expanding emotions. Love the light, the embrace of love and wonder and curiosity. Of closeness, of tenderness, of intimacy, of joy of happiness. Of laughter!

Going deeper. Feeling; feeling delirious with love, with trust, with a joy, with a gentle happiness, with a smile upon your face.

Sinking deeper, letting go, letting go, letting go, letting go.

All the way. Feel the love, the wonder, the enthusiasm, the trust, the gratitude, the forgiveness, the peace, the gentle still of contentment, the awe of satisfaction.

And when you're sure there's no more, there is only more! Wave after wave floods you, twirls you, swirls you, tickles you.

All the love. All the wonder. All the miracles. As though you're being wrapped in the arms of your Higher Self. As though God/Goddess/All That Is, is wrapping you up in all that is.

Washing wave after wave, beyond what your mind can conceive, beyond what any words can hold.

Ecstasy! Utopia. And more and more.

Until finally you gently come to rest on a beach. Soft, gentle sands. And there your Higher Self waits for you, standing over there watching out over the waters, looking out over the horizons; the sea of miracles.

They turn and look at you. You see the tears that have been streaming down cheeks. So glad you've come, so glad you dared, that you risked to feel.

They walk, somewhat deliberately, yet with a saunter still, and as you climb to your feet, somewhat weak in the knees, they grab hold of you, and they support you. They hold you up with their love, with their embrace. You cry in the nape of their neck. Their arms strong, capable, hold the weight and they say simply, I love you.

And you feel the strength returning to you. Almost vertebrae by vertebrae down to the pelvis and through the legs to the knees, to the ankles and to the feet. You stand. But that's all you need is love, it's all that's necessary. And it's a good thing because ultimately, that's all there is.

And now in this sand though, along this stretch of beach, are buried your treasures in little treasure chests without keys.

You and your Higher Self begin to walk hand in hand, barefoot in the sand. And when you come to the place that your heart demands, you both drop to your knees and dig with a joy, with a childlike glee, until your fingers touch hard wood or metal. A box.

The first will be your destiny. And as you uncover the box together, lift the lid, and a whoosh, a vapor, that clouds your eye and then clears your vision.

What do you sense? What is your Higher Self saying to you? What do you learn of meaning and destiny? Let it in. Let it in. Let it in.

It's not the whole answer, that's true, but it's pieces of puzzles that are important to you. As you open the treasure you will discover pieces of your destiny, of your meaning. Your Higher Self will explain or fill your mind with understanding.

And as you go forth, stopping where your heart demands, digging fervently, with giggles and laughter between the two, other treasures will be found by you. Not necessarily in any order.

Some treasure chests may be bigger, yet others smaller. Some may open automatically, some may take a special combination of touch. Each will be labeled. Before you open it you will know what you will find. Go now together, explore. Find more treasures, but not them all.

And as you come across a second box and then a third, and finally a fourth, it's important to note not only what's in, but also which box you discovered, which treasure.

Explore now. Have fun.

What do you find second? Is it your creativity, identity? Or is it your strength? Perhaps your character or motivation or could it be your personality? Explore.

Finding box after box; one, two, three, and four. You can come back to find the rest.

The day passes until finally at sunset you've gathered the four boxes. Sitting with Higher Self, what have you found?

Sit there surrounded. Which of the four boxes faces east? Which one south? Which one west, and which finally north?

Arrange them, juggle them, and put them until appropriately placed.

For the first will offer you knowing; the second, celebration of your imagination, the fire of your desire. The third, that which faces west, a celebration as well, of success. And the last: your stability, your foundation.

And from each of these treasure chests now energy comes. Perhaps in a form of light, or of sound, or just vibration.

And you find yourself lifting right off the ground, levitating. Lifting up, up, into the sky, Higher Self right with you. Up into the Pool of Emotion, buoyant, you reach for the light, you reach for the shimmer of blue, and the sunlight of the brilliant streaks of light that are coming, searching for you.

And, carried on one of those beams, you're lifted even higher. Lifted higher, lifted higher, until buoyantly you pop above the water and breathe.

Climb out of the pool and roll and lie upon your back. And let it in. You can have it. Miraculous success is activated inside.

In a moment you'll open your eyes. At the count of five you will open your eyes, not before. At the count of five. One, two, three, four, and five. Open your eyes. Let yourself become awake. Let yourself look around your room, awake, back in the room. Blow your noses, those that need to, certainly. Others just sense, just sense.

And know that, though words may not describe, something has changed.

***

And each time as you would do the meditation, simple enough to repeat on your own, and also recorded for those that want to be guided through the experience. So you can pick up more of the energy, more of the resonance, more of that field of force that can allow miraculous success.

But now, how do you use it? How do you go about it in a very pragmatic and practical way? How do I incorporate this into my unique metaphysics?

Well there are two general approaches; one specific and one general. One specific; to allow the dreams, to allow the desires, the expectations, the imaginations that you hold, to manifest; not just in being successful, but manifest even more than you expect, even more than you desire, even more than you imagine. To create miraculous success by bringing about the things you want, the things you desire, more than you want them, more than you desire, expect them.

And this is how you do it, it's really quite logical in its way, but will work incredibly well.

Let us say there's an area of your work that you want, or an area of your life, a relationship that you want to create, or one that you have that you want to repair, a friendship that you want to embellish, a friendship that you want to change, a health concern that you have that you want to heal; you see, there's no limit to how you can use it. It can be for as many tangible or intangible aspects of your reality as you desire, as you expect, as you imagine.

And therefore, it can be, I want to create a new car, a new house, more money, I want to create better health, getting rid of this cold, or this bronchial condition, to get rid of this ache or pain that has followed me most of my life. To finally have the loving relationship that I've been talking of and longing for and running from. To finally deal with the relationships I have in a way to end the martyr once and for all. To conclude the punishment that I control others in my reality with, to end the self-pity, the blame, the righteousness, to finally have the sense of depth and character, so that I don't have to use guilt to get me up every morning. So that I don't have to use depression to guide my life through weighting it one way or the other. So that I can, in that sensing, end the pain, or the sabotage, or self-punishment. So that I can feel good enough, in that way. Whatever it is you want you just decide what area that you want to work with.

And the first step then is to go about the normal process and program that you would do anyway.

In other words as you would process what you want, certainly so, might talk to the child, might deal with the adolescent, might sit down and look at the beliefs and attitudes that are standing in the way, to clear out certain blockages, or certain past, how do you say, rote sort of sayings that go on inside my head. I might need to forgive this, or heal that, or express some anger at this situation and let go of it. Whatever you would normally do in your processing to clear the way.

And then whatever programming technique; I might decide to use a 33 second, or a Sphere of Light, or go into the Causal Plane, or the Underworld. I might be wanting to use this or that or whatever technique that you would decide, or combination thereof.

Go about your metaphysics, about your reality creating in the way that you would.

You might work with a co-creating energy, or with whatever you want, you work with.

And you just go through it, not as rote, in that sensing, but by your right to do so. To simply process and program in the way that you would have otherwise.

Then what you do, step number two, is that you go to this Pool of Emotion. Now this particular Pool of Emotion, the one you went to in the meditation, this one that you do in the technique is very similar except this one's going to have a label on it.

You know how in the old Norman Rockwell sort of paintings you see a pond and there's a stick sort of leaning to one side that says No Fishing. Yes? Or no swimming, whatever, in that sensing, that says on the sign, in that regard.

Well, you're going to see that similar; get to the Pool of Emotion however you do, go into the Underworld if you like, or just go into a safe place and find the pool close by.

And the pool will be there, and there, sticking in somewhat of a crazy way, in that sensing, sort of leaning on bleached wood that is no longer, how do you say, new, but has been there a long time; it'll say career. Relationship. Or it might be more specific, relationship with so and so. It might say health. It might say martyrhood, sort of bleached out and barely readable, in that sensing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's an m, an a, and an r, martyr, hoohoo yes. This is the martyrhood pool alright. [laugh]

And be imaginative. Again, the more imaginative you can be, the more powerful and effective the meditations will work. The more quickly, as well.

So you find the particular pool that relates to the problem or the issue that you want to specifically deal with. It has a label. It may be new things in my life. Yes? Houses. Cars. Jobs. Whatever. It might be creativity. It might be whatever the label is, and it may be obvious or not.

At any rate, this is the right pool, alright, because it's been labeled, there's a sign that says what this pool is.

Then what you do is you walk into it. Walk into it until it gets right up to the nose and then up to the brow. I'm up to my eyebrows in it.

And then you step off the edge and start sinking into the emotional pool, and start feeling whatever emotions come up around this issue. Whatever pictures flood into your head; childhood pictures, snippets of pictures, whatever comes to you. Voices you may hear, or just memories that come up, or songs from the past that had particular meaning. Situations, circumstances, whatever. Let it come to you. Let yourself, however, feel the emotion.

Now we know in a meditation in a group or full of people you're not necessarily going to let yourself cry, or let yourself holler, or moan, or groan. But in your own meditation, at least inside, let yourself feel the emotions in the fullness that you feel them: the fear, the anger, the fury, the frustration, whatever those emotions might be, let yourself feel them.

Don't hold back, don't, well, this isn't for real, yes it is for real. Here, perhaps more than if you were to stand up in front of a group and share in that way. Because here there's no one to impress, no one to perform for. At least, hopefully, you won't perform for yourself.

Let yourself feel it. Feel the pity. You may want to do this for a meditation lying on the floor so that you can curl up in a fetal position and moan and groan and feel pity. Feel the hurt, the agony of hurt. Feel the deep moan of a deadening pain. Let yourself feel the emotions that are there. It's just so important.

Pity, by the way, is a real emotion and therefore it has a negative and a positive potential; mostly negative, yes, but there is also a positive to pity. Not to martyrhood, [laugh] no. That's artificial, it is only negative. Not to victimhood, that's artificial; the feeling of being a victim is artificial, it has no positive outlet. But pity, to feel self-pity, has its place; it can be a positive emotion, to help cleanse. So if it's pity, feel it!

If it's rage and blame and unfairness and wrongness, let yourself feel it! Let your face screw up and feel the emotion, or be very placid, but let yourself screw it up inside. Clench that fist, nails into the palm, mentally, if not physically, you don't necessarily have to bleed, but in that sensing, you just feel that fury and want to burst with the anger, with the fury of it. Feel all the negativity, all the contracting emotions.

And then into the positive ones around this issue; around career or around relationship, or whatever it is. Let yourself be flooded, in that way, as well, until you sink through all the emotions.

Once you've sunk through them and you come, kerplop, on the beach; it's nice to have a beach because sand is easier to dig in than dirt, right? You can do it by hand, you don't have to have a shovel and a pick and all that. Pragmatics of meditations, yes? [laugh]

Once you're there, be met by unseen friends: it may be your Higher Self, it may be your Counselors, it may be the Anima, Animus, it may be the Old Man, or Old Woman. It may be always your Higher Self. Some of you may work on this issue more clearly with a Counselor or with certain unseen friends that you might not even know yet, but you'll find an unseen friend or two or three, whatever, there waiting for you at the bottom to uncover the treasures.

And then what you do, once you've felt all the emotions, all the full gamut of emotions associated with this issue; kerplop, you find the helpers that are there to help you, and you go digging. And you start digging, not just for four, but for all of the treasure chests, OK. And that digging may be just an interaction, a communication. Ok, we sit and we talk.

What does this do? How does this thing that I want augment my destiny, augment my meaning? Or, how does it relate to my destiny and meaning, relate to whatever it is you're working on.

To dig for the treasure chest, to find the box and pull it up out of the dirt, brush it off, etc., destiny, or meaning, whatever it is.

Lift the lid, it's not locked. Lift the lid and discover what's there.

And as the lid is open, perhaps interacting between you and the unseen friend. Look, the way this relates, this job that you want, or this healing that you are after, or this financial acumen that you're trying to be able to work with, or this, whatever it is, here's how it augments your destiny. Here's how it fits within the umbrella of destiny and meaning. Or here's how your destiny and meaning relate to the thing that you're trying to create. To understand that.

Find the second treasure chest. It may be, not in order, it can be in any order, but it may be the personality and the imagery. How does creating this thing that I want, how does having this thing that I want augment my destiny, augment my meaning, yes, but how does it affect my personality; to bring it out, to draw it out. And how will my personality affect it?

And my imagery, what image is there? What's the truth? And as you discover that and see how it relates and how it fits together, then find yet a third treasure chest; character perhaps.

And then the strengths. Which of the strengths are going to be called upon to manifest this? Or to be, once this is manifest, that this is going to bring about. As I create this health, or this job, or this car, or this house, or this relationship, or this repaired relationship, how is this energy going to augment my strengths, or which strengths is it going to call upon?

What motivation? What is my real motivation for wanting this thing? You may discover my real motivation is to `keep up with the Jones,' my real motivation is to impress the pants off my parents. And then you need to look at that. Is that the motivation I want?

Is that really what I want to do here? Is there a better motivation? Or is that all right? Maybe in this case it is, yeah, it's OK, but I know what I'm doing, I'm not fooling myself. I'm not pretending that this is somehow lofty. It's base, but it's OK, it's my motivation, I'm not pretending! Or I may decide its base and therefore maybe I want to rethink it, all right.

How does this affect my identity; what I say, what I think, what I do, who I am?

And how can this spark my creativity; my ability to inspire myself and others? My ability to perceive so that I might conceive? What does this give me liberty to do?

And as you uncover these treasures, now it may take more than one meditation. You may go in and go to the depth of that emotion and only discover two of the treasures. All right, as you come out of the meditation, writing down, noting what you discover, working with it, contemplating it, etc. Another meditation the next day I'll discover, maybe this time going through those emotions more quickly because I've been through them once, I can now discover the remainder of the treasures. Or maybe three of them, and then a third meditation to pick up the last two.

But you uncover these seven treasures as it relates to the specific issue that you have at hand.

Once you've done so, and done whatever work is necessary, whatever the circumstance requires or asks of you, step three is to ask your helper, whoever it is, to help you create it miraculously. Ask them to help you.

Step four is to release it to them; very important. Please help me with this, OK, I will, but if you don't give it to them they're not going to be able to help you with it. [laugh]

No, I'm going to keep it to myself because when I get it I want to take all the credit, hah, hah! Help me with this, help me manifest this, but I keep it, hang onto it real tight. I've got to surrender it, in the positive sense of that meaning; let it go, let them have it, OK, let them have it. Step four.

Step five is to once again do whatever the technique was that you began. You don't have to process it, you've done that, but what was the technique. Here now, in this place, in the depth of emotion, do that 33 second technique, or do that Sphere of Light, or do that visualization in whatever formulation. See that end result in whatever way that you want to do it. Do the technique that you did, again, only at this depth, at the bottom among the treasures.

Number six: let yourself begin to float up. Lifting up through the Pool of Emotion, you don't necessarily have to feel them all again, but through the Pool of Emotion. And if you've ever been in deep water and you look upward, and you'll see the sunlight, you'll see the light, but it'll be like streams of light in the blue. And you reach for those streams of light, and let those streams of light reach for you like long fingers of love and light coming after you.

And as you float upward through that Pool of Emotion, feel it, feel it washing you, feel it washing you as you reach for that light.

And then you emerge; having immersed, you emerge. And climb out of the water into the reality of having what you want, feeling it, living it, breathing it; the job, the career, the healing, the relationship, the healing of the relationship, the tangible, intangible thing you desire. Sense it, sense it. Having it.

And that's how you go after something specific that you want; using the Pool of Emotion to create miraculous success. And, as you do that, you're going to have incredible successes. You're going to get what you want, what you ask for even, you're going to get what you want and ask for, and you're going to find that it's going to come more powerfully, more powerfully; more than you desired, more than you expected, more than you imagined. And that's how you create specifically. You practice, you work with it. Because you're establishing a resonance; a field of force that elevates you to the treasures, that elevates you to the reality of miraculous success.

Now in order to engender something general; I don't know what I want here, I just want something different. Yes? It's not working the way it is, but I don't know exactly what I want. Or, I'm ready to now let some of my Higher Self's desires and expectations manifest. I'm ready to let that in, ready to have that in my world.

Now I would do the same; I wouldn't do any general meditation, etc., I would process to clear out why I wouldn't want to let my Higher Self in, etc. And then go to the Pool, but this time there's no sign. It is like in the meditation; a pool without a sign, the general pool of all your emotion, whatever.

And likewise go into it, go into the depth. And when you've plopped to the bottom; feeling all your emotions, contracting and expanding, when you reach the bottom this time your Higher Self will be there, absolutely. Maybe some other helpers too, but your Higher Self for sure.

And likewise you will discover the treasures. Discover what is my destiny? What is the meaning, what is my image, my personality, in fact? What are my strengths; the ones that I ought to be working on now as they evolve and expand? In general; not related to job or career, or to work, or to relationships or friendships, money or otherwise. In terms of my spirituality; my relationship with my Higher Self.

And with these particular treasures, place them. Which one goes east, which one south, which one west, which one north? Which one is my insight that will give me discernment? Which one is the celebration of imagination? Which one is the celebration of life?

Which one is my foundation? And of the others, where they go as well.

And then simply ask, at that point, ask your Higher Self; manifest some of your dreams. Manifest some of your desires for me, some of your expectations for me, in a loving way of course, manifest them in my world. I'm willing.

Open up and embrace it; be willing to let it in. I don't know what it is, you don't have to tell me first, I trust you. That I want you to go ahead now and drop something in my life that you want for me; that I may not even know, I may not even have thought of. Let that in. I'm willing to let it in, whatever it is.

Now will it be painful and hard? No! See that's that old grow by pain and all that sort of stuff, etc., very old-fashioned, very Old Age. And we would suggest here that if you really want it to be, your Higher Self will accommodate you, but if you really allow it, you don't have to have anything of any sort of discord. Oh, great, I got cancer, isn't that wonderful. My Higher Self wanted me to get cancer to teach me this. No. You wanted to do it that way, or your negative ego thought that might be a nifty plan but your Higher Self did not have that in mind. I had a car wreck that taught me to slow down. Oh come on! [laugh] You could've listened to some soft music, you know, it could've done the same thing [laugh] with much less distress associated with it.

Your Higher Self isn't out to trick you and trap you and to hurt you and to force you to learn by ironies and by strange sorts of turns of events. It's very straight forward, if you let it be.

But you got to let it; open up to it.

Then, likewise, float to the surface, reach for the light, and emerge knowing that within a very short time you're going to have certain miracles occur that seem to drop in out of the blue. Things that happen that you know are from your Higher Self that come to you.

And those are the two ways to work. Two ways to open yourself up to the two faces of miraculous success; the realities that are more than you expect and desire, the realities that are truly your Higher Self's desires and expectations for you.

And that's where the awakening begins. It's not something that happens overnight. It's something that you develop. And as you do so, you move more and more into the paradigm where the future creates your present, where the metaphysics in you creates your physical world. And you can once again function in harmony, creating magnificent symphonies, creating the dreams of a future.

Miraculous success; you can begin to activate it. And we close, and to each of you we offer love; love, and peace.
