Someone responded to my video series About Scientsts proving DNA can be changed--my blog post yesterday. This is what the person said:
"It's nice to see someone else knows this...can you imagine what I go through day to day as an awakened one? A Lightworker now?"
This statement troubled me immediately upon reading it, because, while I sympathized with this person's sense of isolation, I had to reply with this:
"I feel you, homie. I would minimize putting yourself in an exalted position (calling yourself an "Awakened One") just because you have access to information that others do not. There is always more to learn. Besides, more people know what you know than you are perceiving. Center in your power and attract like. Apparently you are already doing this because this video came up in your awareness, so you're on the right track! Keep expanding into new possibilities and Loving everything!"
Many of us 'New Age Hippies' can feel isolated and lonely because we feel we are the only ones with access to certain kinds of information, and it may verily be true in our experience. However, many us cover up the pain and suffering of perceived 'loneliness' by exalting our egos to a higher plane than others--it's the only way many of us know to make sense of our pain, but the fact is that it's just psychological pain we are experiencing based upon a mis-thought. We categorized ourselves out of the illusion of fear and separation, when we are limitless beings.
Yes, the experience of isolation can hurt. I know very well what that feels like. I always felt different growing up. No on seemed to understand me, and many people in my life even dismissed or ridiculed me. This caused great pain. As I silently suffered within, I began to create a character that was exalted above everyone else. This made sense of my pain (at least for the time being), but it also reinforced my pain. It didn't make the pain go away, the new character merely crystallized the suffering in my heart.
And so this new character dominated my life. I didn't call myself an "Awakened One", but I surely believed I knew more than everybody else. More and more I began to feel cut off, separate, and my pain turned into anger.
Anger destroys the body, and corrupts the waters of consciousness. While the 'soul' never can be corrupted, it surely seems to die in one's own awareness. My passions disappeared. My lust for life diminished. My trust in myself and others withered, until one day, I found myself completely alone--I, by my own Divine power, had created a living hell of isolation for myself. I had succeeded in reinforcing an experience that didn't give me pleasure at all! A thirsty man in a desert of his own making.
Of course, I didn't realize this. But a voice within kept leading me, slowly slowly slowly in the right direction to integrating my inner and outer lives--it started when I realized, in a visceral way, that I am human, I make mistakes, I am far from perfect, and it's OK. I felt lonely, and it was OK. I felt anger, and it was OK. I felt lust, rage, panic, apprehension, indolence, indifference, and they were all O-K. That meant if I could accept those things within myself, I could have compassion for those on the 'outside' when they expressed these very same emotions and states.
Being an 'Awakened One' or a 'lightworker' means that you see the game for what it is in your own Being. My thought would be that if you are truly awakened, you would never need to declare it--you would simply be awake. In the awakened state you are free from fear, free from lies. Therefore you are free from loneliness--you are never 'alone'. Alone implies separation, that you can be separated from existence, but that can never be. You are never ALONE, for there is no one else. You are 'ALL-ONE'.
Everything that you need is 'within' you, so go there, and you can transcend the illusion of alone/not aloneness.

The thoughts that you project onto others' thoughts of you is your own fantasy. You can't possibly know for sure what others think of you. Sure you may see facial and bodily cues that could betray their inner state, but that leads me to the second point--it's none of your business what they're thinking about you!
You live in your own body, moving your own hands, making your own yawns, dancing with your own feet. Who gives a fuck how the person next to you is dancing?!? Those aren't your feet, pay attention to your own!
The spiritual process of growth in a human experience is not for the faint of heart. The goal is to live life completely on your own terms, with nothing to gain or lose from it. Life is not about coming out on top. Life is about sometimes being on top, sometimes being on the bottom, and not giving a damn about either one, only the love you have for yourself.
What others think of you, positive or negative, is irrelevant. Sure, you may want to surround yourself with people who generally think positively of you, but you don't want to base your life around that. Connect with your source, feel good about yourself, then you'll see the Universe deliver human reflections of yourself that love you too, regardless of their individual, superficial thoughts. No one is judging you but you. No one is loving you but you, so take the reins of life, and live it freely, on your own terms, with nothing to gain or lose.

I was the movie "The Celestine Prophecy" with a few friends, and I could tell that one of them wasn't really digging the material. For those that don't know, 'The Celestine Prophecy" is a fictional account of a main character's expansion of consciousness in order to see the world in a celestial way. This is done through nine insights about the current state of the world and how to not only ameliorate it, but to turn it into a paradise.
If I was correct in my assessment about my friend, then I understood his skepticism. That was me, in a way, three years ago--skeptical of possibilities of expansion, joy and magic happening in my life. Another friend said later as we were watching, "This is make-believe," to which I blurted, "That's right. We make what we believe."
I felt a little hurt at the mild skepticism and patronization I was perceiving, but the most important thing was that I enjoyed the film (after seeing it like 30 times), and I gained new insight into myself.
"We make what we believe." I couldn't believe I had said that, but it was/is so true. Whatever we perceive is what we create, and what we create is what we believe. This may be hard for some to gather, but life is a series of perceptions, or one big wave of perception.
The human eye can only see 0.005% of the entire spectrum of the universe--and even of that infinitesimal percentage, we choose to see even less than that! Our entire reality is a perception of the Universe, a perception of what we believe about ourselves.
"We make what we believe about ourselves." This is important because what each individual human being believes about her/himself on a subconscious level is what gives rise to the world that we share. Think about it. If you believe you can do something, even if you don't have the strength, tools, or now how in this very moment, don't you fight like hell to realize your ability in that thing? If you don't believe you can do something, you don't even attempt it, or you may attempt it, fail, and become discouraged easily.
Sometimes we believe we can do something, but we believe we'll never get the chance to do it, which can lead to a lifetime of self-stifling, and for those that don't know themselves to be the creators of their reality, they blame their lack or dream realization on the outside world that they themselves have created.
What really needs to happen is a deep uprooting of outdated, un-useful beliefs. If you want to do what you've never done, you've got to be who you've never been--you've got to believe what you've never believed, and don't give up.
Old b.s. beliefs have to be replaced with beliefs you prefer, so your experience follows suit.
Have you ever seen kids playing? Of course you have. When they play make believe, have you ever noticed that they simply declare what role they are going to play in the game with others? Rarely do you see a child think about what they want to be; they just 'be' it! "I'm going to be the captain!" "I'm the monkey!" "I have super magical powers!"
You've got to be like that. The difference between how kids play at the playground, and how you play in the game of life, is that you can't leave life like they can leave the sandbox. You have the ability to hold on to a dream, to uproot the beliefs keeping you from that dream, and to replace those beliefs with more suitable ones to realize your dream.
"Make-believe". Really listen to those words next time you hear someone say them, and remember what we've discussed here:
"We make what we believe."

So, I found an article from the 'Be Spiritual and Rich' website, which tells how not to feel stupid in front of more knowledgable people:
Recently, someone said to me that he feels really stupid in front of some people he knows. I thought it was a curious thing to say, since I find this friend pretty intelligent and most of the time he seems confident enough.
Then he continued and said that he...

A man learns how to let life in and enjoy it much more. This philosophy of 'yes' is actually the basis of the Tantric philosophy, and while 'Yes Man' is a more simplistic form of 'saying yes', it still gets the point across for mainstream audiences.
We must still, however, go deeper into the "Yes philosophy" and detail a crucial element to it.
