How Good Can it Get?
Cynthia Sue LarsonCynthia Sue Larson


Improve Your Relationships

"We do not see things as they are.
We see them as we are."
- The Talmud

Have you ever said or done something, only to find out later that you had been completely misunderstood? This happened to me a lot as a child, due to the fact much of what I "said" with my first words was aimed at directly communicating with the people around me, yet my baby cooing was not recognized by others as words. As I grew up, I made the further discovery that the ideas I most wished to communicate were seldom spoken of, and therefore not understood when I attempted to discuss them. While I noted subtle energies and the way those energies changed and flowed as they related to others and the world around them, the ideas that people around me spoke about were focused on material reality and various outcomes associated with the physical world. I was also interested in the physical world, yet as I learned to speak English, much of what originally so fascinated me became relegated by default to a status of "that which we do not discuss." Not because such things are inherently bad, but because they are not considered an important part of daily life. My natural lens of perception was to see the world through a mystic's eyes, yet I was growing up in a culture that embraced materialism.
Cynthia
Recognizing that we can be misjudged, and that others can be biased to interpret us very differently than we intend is essential in order to better understand how important our lenses of perception are in how we view the world. Such misunderstandings occur in all relationships in which people have very different world views, with very different frames of reference, and very different lenses of perception. We can see this for ourselves when considering how very differently a lifelong soldier might interpret a situation than would a lifelong monk... yet both world views could be considered to be equally relevant, equally valid, equally true.

Often we take for granted our own unique frame of reference, with all our own experiences, insights, assumptions, and beliefs, assuming that our own mental frame of reference is correct, since it consists of our existing and default beliefs. We are capable of transcending the limitations of our natural lenses of perception and frames of reference, and observing in ways that help us to see and hear something as a pattern that extends beyond what we expected, rather than focusing on just getting something right that we were looking for in particular. Opening our minds to a greater reality, by intentionally viewing the world through different lenses of perception can reveal an underlying intrinsic reality that is much deeper than most people are able to see, due to our having adopted more limiting frames of reference.

The way we perceive the world and people in our lives has the power to change the world and everything and everyone around us. If you are fortunate enough to have grown up knowing an adult who showed you true respect, then you have benefited from the gift of having seen someone recognize something wonderful in you. This concept of seeing good in others is tremendously beneficial, as it allows for openness and trust, where such things might otherwise not exist.

What does this mean in practical terms? It means that if you find yourself feeling annoyed with what someone seems to be thinking, saying, or doing... or even how they are dressed... you have the power to transform this situation. Give yourself a moment to pause, reflect... and adopt a more compassionate attitude. This exercise is usually most challenging with those we see more frequently when they are not at their best, so it is even more important with our family and loved ones. Imagine how you might see and experience the world through their frame of reference... their lenses of perception... their worldview. Stretch your frame of reference to include theirs as fully as possible... and take another look at what they seem to be thinking, saying and doing. Treat this as an opportunity to expand your lenses of perception, and if you are talking with someone who is similarly interested in expanding their worldview, share some of your lenses of perception, too.

If you really want to expand your consciousness, consider the idea that how you feel about everything around you is showing you a great deal about yourself. All that delights and inspires you is providing you with tremendous insight into who you really are, just as all that annoys and bores you also does. This is much like seeing on one hand your illuminated qualities -- those you are proud of -- and also your "shadow characteristics" you are not so proud of. Your full knowledge of all aspects of yourself can help you further improve your relationships, by paying attention to all of these qualities.

consciousness in brain
You won't find consciousness in the brain
New Scientist
7 Jan 2010
by Ray Tallis
MOST neuroscientists, philosophers of the mind and science journalists feel the time is near when we will be able to explain the mystery of human consciousness in terms of the activity of the brain. There is, however, a vocal minority of neurosceptics who contest this orthodoxy. Among them are those who focus on claims neuroscience makes about the preciseness of correlations between indirectly observed neural activity and different mental functions, states or experiences.

Survival of the Kindest
Science Daily
2009 Dec 9
In contrast to "every man for himself" interpretations of Charles Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, Dacher Keltner, a UC Berkeley psychologist and author of "Born to be Good: The Science of a Meaningful Life," and his fellow social scientists are building the case that humans are successful as a species precisely because of our nurturing, altruistic and compassionate traits. They call it "survival of the kindest."

(4) Your Reality Shift Stories

Bad Part Became Good
Adolphius
Orlando, Florida, USA

This incident occurred almost 30 years ago. I was working for Martin Marietta (now Lockheed/Martin), a central Florida Aerospace Corporation, as a failure analysis engineer. Whenever a project had an electronic component fail the component was sent to my laboratory. At the time it was important for engineering production group to keep track of failed semiconductor components in order to determine if they had a vendor problem, a design problem (it happened a lot during initial design phase), or if the part was removed by mistake (it happened a lot). In almost every case a request form was filled out before analysis was performed and a written report was issued.

One day two project engineers brought down a JANTX2N5036 transistor for failure analysis. This was a very common but expensive MIL-SPEC NPN power transistor. This transistor had failed to operate in a system and was removed. Project needed to know right away why the transistor failed. This transistor had been checked out in the engineering laboratory and found to be defective.

No damage or defects were visible on the case except for normal handling. I checked out the transistor using a Tektronix curve tracer and found the Base terminal to be open with respect to the Collector and Emitter. The Collector-to-Emitter connection appeared normal (for this type of transistor). I explained what I was doing to both engineers who witnessed this test. They confirmed that the Base terminal (or junction) was open during system test. I did a second continuity test before I removed the lid.

I was expecting one of two possible failure modes: an open or loose Base bond wire or a completely vaporized bond wire. Instead the die cavity was clean and no damage, defects, or anomalies were visible on the die. The Base bond wire connection was intact. The construction was typical of a high quality Mil-Spec component. I then performed a continuity test between the external Base lead and the internal Base bond wire. It had continuity. I attached leads to the external terminals and all junction breakdown characteristic curves were as expected of a good transistor. I then inserted the transistor into a socket and the transistor passed all of the normal tests at both high and low power. I could not find any reason for the previous failure. (A remark was made: "the badness escaped when you removed the lid")

Project took the component with them and did not request a written report nor did they let me perform additional analysis on the transistor. I never had a "bad" component become "good" after it was opened in the last 29 years as a failure analysist.

Note from Cynthia: Thanks for sharing this story about a bad part becoming good... noteworthy for having happened in such a controlled environment where such things are presumably not a typical part of most work days! I especially liked the comment about "the badness escaped when you removed the lid," as most people love to have some sense that even the most unexpected events have something to do with our actions. And in a case like this... who knows? Maybe they do!

Missing Socks Dramatically Reappear
Charles
Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

I had two separate 'reappearances' occur with my socks about two weeks apart. The first time, I had a sock disappear one day and come back two days later. It was a really stand-out shift because I had literally just put the pair of socks down beside me on the edge of the bed, turned my back on them to put on another piece of clothing, and when I turned back to them, suddenly there was just one sock. And the other one was nowhere to be found. Not on, under or beside the bed. Nor caught up in the sheets. Just gone. But two days later it was on the floor by the bed, just as if it had been freshly dropped there. Exactly where I expected (and looked for) it to be when it went missing. And of course, that area had been cleaned at least once in the intervening time.... (smile)

I'm sure many people have had something disappear and reappear later, but the second event I have to relate here really stretches this to incredible limits... Two weeks after the first sock reappeared, I was cleaning out old boxes in my girlfiend's basement. Stuff that hadn't been touched since before I ever visited her home. And in the bottom of one of those boxes, flat under dusty old papers, I found one of my socks! I cannot emphasise enough the complete 'impossibility' of that sock being in that location! This is an extraordinary rarity for me, as most shifts I have experienced tend to move an object from one 'possible' location to another. This was just not 'possible' at all! All I can speculate is that the earlier incident with the socks put the 'thought' into the back of my mind to be manifested further. This has been happening more in the last year....

Oh, and just for interests sake, it wasn't an 'extra sock'. I did actually have one go missing from my laundry sometime last summer. And that in itself was slightly noteworthy because I'm very attentive (borderline OCD) to keeping pairs together in the laundry, and yet one got away from me. Didn't think much of it at the time, but now.... (smile) So strictly speaking, the sock did 'disappear' and 'reappear' in the same room. But how it 'decided' to appear at the bottom of that box.... (shake head) It's going to be an interesting year!

Note from Cynthia:What an amazing experience! I love the way the sock vanished so dramatically, and reappeared even more dramatically in such an unexpected place! I agree with you about the extraordinary emotional impact of seeing something that's gone missing reappear in a tremendously unlikely location. This has happened with some of the most noteworthy reality shifts I've seen, as it is just plain shocking (and wonderful) to discover something in a location there is simply no way that item could have found its way there. The only thing more startling, in my experience, is to actually observe objects in the process of materializing into that unexpected spot... something I've only witnessed a handful of times. I tend to think of such emotionally powerful shifts as being wake up calls to us... asking us to pay even more attention than ever before to what we take for granted, and challenging us to be even more open-minded about what is and can be possible in this world.


Messages from Spirit
Martha
Tempe, Arizona, USA

I don't know whether you remember me, but about three years ago, you did an over-the-telephone consultation with me about helping my husband, who had been laid off his job and was very depressed. You helped me reach out to him on a spiritual level, and together we "cleaned" his aura. There was a lot of dark "grungy" energy in it, but other than that, you said that it had the beautiful light blue of an engineer or person who works with mathematics, and I told you that, yes, he is an engineer. Since then, I've been reading your newsletters from time to time, but hadn't thought to mention the story of what happened after that. However, while reading your last newsletter it suddenly occurred to me that I should write and tell you the outcome of the reading, because it is an interesting story. Also, my poor dear husband passed away earlier this spring. Perhaps he would like me to tell the story, as he is so sweetly on my mind right now.

First, there's a little background to share, so that the story will be more understandable. For several years, the Universe and I have been playing a "game." It started a few Christmases ago when someone sent me an "angel book" for Christmas -- you know, one of those books with stories about people being visited by angels. I read it, and there were some stories in it about people receiving "pennies from heaven." That's when people find pennies and believe that deceased relatives were "leaving" them as a sign that "all is well," affirmations of love, or something similar. I like those kinds of stories, and I was thinking about them. So I told the Universe (which is one of my names I use for God or The Divine) that if anything like that were to happen to me, I would like to get something nicer than pennies. I would like a higher "salary level"! Maybe nickels. Or no-- not nickels, I would like dimes. Dimes are small, silver, slim and beautiful. I would like to see dimes, if anyone or anything would like to let me know that I am so loved, or to send me an "atta-girl!" -- Or even a quarter! Quarters are good. But, I thought, quarters are a bit much, and dimes are beautiful, so I will stay with dimes. Since that day, I began to find dimes a lot. I now have a coffer of dimes, and when it gets full, I will make a donation to something wonderful. I love my dimes, and I love the affirmation from the Universe that I am doing a good job, at least sometimes, here on earth.

Back to the story with my husband. I didn't tell him anything about the aura cleansing, because he was completely intolerant of anything "religious" or "spiritual" at all. Mention of it in any way would get him upset, and I didn't want to do that. Also, he had absolutely no knowledge about my "game" with the dimes. The aura cleansing seemed to help him some. He had seemed a little "lighter," -- or was it my imagination -- or wishful thinking? About four days after we cleaned his aura, I was in the bathroom putting on my makeup. He walked in and handed me a quarter. He said, "Here! This is for you!" Stunned, I accepted the quarter. I had a deep feeling it was a huge "atta-girl!" and that my poor husband was in a fugue state (an unconscious state where he can still function, but his conscious mind has been taken over by a higher awareness--perhaps his higher self). I wanted to test the situation, so I laughed and asked, "What's this for?" "You earned it!" he answered, and he swiftly turned, walked back to the family room, and sat down to continue watching TV.

There are actually a LOT of things I could write in continuation of this story, and with the processes related to dimes, but this is already getting long. I did continue to send my husband love and light, and at times tried to clean his aura, although I never got as fully "into" the process as I did when you were helping me. In the long run, I don't think that anything could have changed my poor husband's story. For many reasons, I believe his leaving the world when and how he did were fixed--although I don't believe in "fixed" things in general. But there are some things that are relatively likely, and create strong curves or nodes in space/time through the dimensions. Maybe he wants to share this story with you because he knows you, as you already were in contact with him.

Note from Cynthia: Thanks so much for sending me the lovely email, and giving me updates on what's happened since we last talked. What a heart expanding experience you've been through with your husband -- thank you so much for sharing all this with me. I can certainly appreciate what you say about your husband's passing being something "fixed" or arranged by some hidden order... I've felt that way about a couple of my beloved dear ones who passed over, as well. I really love the way your husband brought you that quarter and said "This is for you." I agree with you that spirit does talk and move and work through each of us... all the more so when we allow ourselves to be open to this experience. There are forms of spirit communication in which people think a question in a crowd of strangers, and receive spoken responses... often including their name in the beginning of a sentence meant just for them. I've had this happen, and it was the most amazing, surprising and delightful experience.

(5) Reality Shifting Q and A / Mail Bag
Dear Cynthia,
Getting to all my emails from when I was gone, and received an email card from the astrologer I had do my relocation chart when I moved. Anyway, I sent him a brief thank you for the card, and he sent a reply, basically telling me how crappy things will get later this year based on my chart. So I went to your site for a reality shift inspiration and read the January news - How perfect!

"The secret of health for both mind and body
is not to mourn for the past,
worry about the future,
or anticipate troubles, but to
live in the present moment wisely and earnestly."
-- Buddha

One of my favorite quotes and so true. Thank you for everything you do, and for helping me create my best life over the years. I love you so much and am soo grateful!
Jen

Dear Jen,
 I'm so glad to hear this quote is one of your favorites, too! Mindfulness is so important, and of course it is always a good time to remember these things. When I hear about people who've received discouraging prognostications (from astrologers, psychics, doctors, etc), I generally suggest to keep a positive attitude, with awareness that often when people say negative things, they are actually reading more of themselves in their predictions than your situation. In other words, just as someone with rose colored glasses tends to see things looking rosy everywhere, someone who is going through a rough time energetically or emotionally or tends to view things a bit more darkly will tend to say things that are more true for how they are feeling at that moment than what is truly heading your way.
lots of love, love, love,
Cynthia

The Dice Game of Shiva

The Dice Game of Shiva
How Consciosuness Creates the Universe
by Richard Smoley
The Eternal Dance of Universal Consciousness & Worldly Experience
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1577316444/realityshifts

The Dice Game of Shiva tells the story of the Hindu god Shiva, lord of the universe, and his consort Parvati who learn a game with dice. Interestingly, Parvati wins round after round to the point that she cleans Shiva out... down to his last item of clothing... until he retreats to the wilderness. There is much more to this story, yet it captures an essential core sense of the eternal dance between universal consciousness (Shiva) and experience of the world (Parvati). Richard Smoley writes with the intelligent voice of the Harvard and Oxford graduate that he is, and better yet as a professor who passionately loves the topic of consciousness as viewed from every philosophical and spiritual lens known to man. Smoley has a rare gift for describing ineffable concepts articulately and elegantly, such as when he writes, "It is this higher love, which Christianity calls agape and I call 'conscious love,' that reflects the insight that the Self at the center of one's own being is exactly the same as the Self that lies at the core of everyone else's as well, human and nonhuman, animate and apparently inanimate." Smoley explores one of the six "orthodox" darshans of the Hindu sacred texts known as the Vedas, the Samkhya, weaving it together with Western ideas from philosophy, science and religion. Samkyha analyzes reality into its fundamental components, while Yoga is a system of meditative practice for spiritual liberation, and Vedanta is a way to detach ones awareness from physical being to a knowingness that all is as One. Even as physicists currently seek a "Theory of Everything," humans pursue a comprehensive answer for the true nature of reality, the meaning of life, and the relationship between universal consciousness and worldly experience. The Dice Game of Shiva takes us on a mystical philosophical journey full of fresh new insights into who we truly are.

Transform Your Life Through Handwriting

Transform Your Life Through Handwriting
by Vimala Rodgers
Change Your Life by Changing Your Handwriting
http://amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1591797152/realityshifts

Transform Your LIfe Through Handwriting is a spiritual graphology kit consisting of two audio CDs, a spiral bound guidebook, a spiral bound journal, and a deck of alphabet graphology cards. While all these go together very nicely, I was initially surprised to see the way this handwriting transformation kit was arranged, as apparently I'd been expecting a book and CDs, rather than a kit of so many things inside a box. For those who have read graphology books and studied graphology to any extent, the principle behind transforming one's life through changing one's handwriting is fairly obvious, yet seldom fully explained. There seem to be many more examples and descriptions of what not to do in other books, so Vimala Rodgers' approach of focusing entirely on positive patterns is refreshingly different. I like the sound of Vimala's voice on the audio tracks of the CDs, and once I'd adjusted to the initial shock of this entire kit being so very different than every other book on graphology I've seen, I started having fun with this program. Each letter is described in terms of its soul quality, its declaration of intent, its alphabetic family, its element, its gender, its gemstone, its animal and its angelic guardian protector. These qualities for each letter gave me a deeper appreciation for the meditations involved in writing each letter in upper and lower case -- and meditation is indeed the best way to describe what is involved. With only a modicum of advice on what not to do, I found myself fascinated by some of the reasoning behind the advice. We therefore learn to avoid writing a "secretary f," for example, that states, "I'll do your work well, but my ideas don't count." I highly recommend this for anyone open-minded enough to try changing their handwriting, as there is a great deal to learn here, and this system really can work!
