Change
Change
By
Howard Falco
You’ve previously kept the window closed
Afraid to feel the feeling
Protected from the unknown
Addicted to the reeling.
Similar questions form each day
Yet you deny the answers exist
If that’s a fact that is the truth
Why is it you persist?
Something deep within your soul
Shouts that you’re a liar
Begs you to open up the lock
Revealing something higher.
Faith is the word that asks for meaning
Take a chance that might seem strange
Finally allowing your mind to feel them
The liberating winds of change.

The Real Key to Life's Wishing Well
"Ask and it shall be given you" or "Knock, and it shall be opened unto you" is the way it has been described in biblical text. "Ask, believe, recieve." is the more modern mantra for the hope of quick manifestation results. But what is the real essence behind life's law of attraction and creation?
Like many things in life, there are no shortcuts to this understanding. As much as it would be nice to just think positively and have things appear, there is a deeper required attention that needs to be paid to how the experience of life works. There is no better place to start this understanding than from the example of your own life. When you look around the room or place you are at right now, ask yourself, "How did you get to this exact place in your life right now with all of your current circumstances?"
What you will ultimately realize is that your current situation has come together out of the thousands of choices you have made. Choices that were based on what you thought you needed to do to fulfill your intent in each particular previous moment. You have created it all which means you will continue to create it all. The magic of manifesting is to become more aware in each moment of WHAT you are creating and HOW you are creating it. Just as every seed that has grown into something has been cultivated in some way with a certain amount of soil, water and sunlight to produce a certain result, your wishes and desires, which are your seeds, will need to be cultivated in a certain way for particular desired result as well.
The universe is not a one way hand out street. You have to work hand in hand with the universe in the process of manifestation. You have to demonstrate the faith and belief in who you are through the actions you take to make your wishes real. By cultivating your desires with a strong belief that it will happen, an honesty about where you are in the process of achieving it, and a persistent action towards your ultimate goal, you become your own Genie.
Yes you need to ask, yes you need to believe, but faith demonstrated through your actions is the most powerful energy there is, and it is your true key to the wishing well of your life.

The Essence of Gratitude
Gratitude is a word that has been used a lot lately from those who are offering the "spiritual" path to others and from those looking to manifest more in their lives. The standard line is something of the order of "You just need to be grateful for everything in your life". Now, while it is true that a shift in perspective from an ungrateful state of mind to a more grateful state of mind helps one to temporarily feel more at peace, it is also true that a concept offered without the root understanding of the concept is likely to be misunderstood, be misused and lead to eventual frustration.
Gratitude is NOT a practice, it is an understanding. As a practice it is forced, as an understanding it flows. Therefore it is always the deeper nature of self-discovery and self-inquiry that leads to a deeper and more expansive self-love that results in gratitude.
This is a love that comes from the understanding that right now You are the perfection of all your past perfect choices, thoughts and actions. That if you hadn't made all those past choices you wouldn't be on the path you're on now coming to the amazing understanding that you are leading yourself towards each and every day. You would be delaying your evolution rather than expanding and evolving, asking questions, receiving answers and transforming into more of a peaceful conscious creator of your life and true master of your reality.
True gratitude comes from the realization that every situation in every moment as much as it can seem against you, is always and forever FOR YOU. For example, in this moment, who else could these words be for? How you choose to respond, react and feel, based on what you desire to create and experience in this lifetime is your "free will". You are the infinite and priceless observer and creator of life, and everything you can see, feel, touch, smell and hear is here to SUPPORT you in your creative effort. If that's not something to be infinitely grateful for right now, then maybe as you contemplate this in the days or weeks to come it will be.
When you see all persons, places and things in your daily walk as the tangible matter that gives your life its meaning and growth, your judgments will disappear and your gratitude and love for all of it will know no boundaries. This is the gratitude that sees all as perfection, feels itself as part of the perfection and manifests from the unlimited and unrestricted nature of this perfection. From this state of grace the great mirror that is the Universe has no choice but to respond in kind....
With endless love & gratitude,
Howard
