YOU are in charge of you. No matter how boring YOU think your life is, no matter how lonely you might be, no matter how ugly you think you are, or poor, or crazy, messed up battling a variety of addictions or YOU NAME it. It is those very labels with which you train to identify yourself that stunt your psyche. It's not in your genealogy but the way you speak to yourself that can be trained. Labels that are affirming can transform you to HEALTHY versus SICK. Start learning to guide yourself toward better living habits. All the labels can be changed. No one can pin hole you but YOU.
You might go back in time and talk about the school days and bullies including your own family members who made fun of: your height, weight, pimples, hair, clothes, grades, YOU NAME it. Today is today; you are in charge, even if back then they seemed to pull the rug out from under the way you felt about yourself. Just as physical scars lighten up just by the action of aging, you can learn to apply to yourself an energetic 'plastic' surgery to internal scars you think about over and over. Save your money. You can train to stop rehashing the most challenging times in your life via years of therapy that bring you only backwards to your challenged upbringing needlessly.
You can even do yoga, tai chi, meditation, and prayer until the cows come home and follow your religion to a tee, but that won't help if you keep imposing depressing, monkey mind labels on YOURSELF. Start noticing your thoughts while you are exercising and stop criticizing how you are doing. When you are cooking, eating, working, playing, talking, on the computer, and even when you are on the toilet or in the tub and especially when making love, which must be a very safe and secure time, you can catch the negative labels and stop in mid-sentence. Erase them and replace them on the whiteboard of your mind. At every moment, YOU can clean up your act. (Not just in the tub.) Join up with your most accurate appraiser of yourself; YOUR COSMIC MIND.
Your Cosmic Mind is unlike the Monkey mind which is what for a long time has come to be known as your left brained, culturally induced standard and common-most model through which people learn. How many children were taught to give up their 'imaginary friends?' It is the Cosmic mind which stands for transformation in the most powerful way. There you can form your images. Your logical, complaining Monkey mind doesn't do as well of a job. There are studies that have shown the veracity of this.
You have been trained, up until perhaps today, to tread carefully and fear the sharks in the water. What about using positive images to move far away from sharks? Your dreams, rituals, well formed ideas, words, and images that are based on a positive ideal can become the branch to hold on to when you are slipping off life's cliff. Stop yourself forever from repeating, "I am falling, I am falling!!!" Abandon that challenged and fearful self to your spirit that knows how to hope, pray, imagine and talk yourself back up to the spot you felt safe before a slip. Take in the scenery from where you are and really see that there is a branch that has deep roots, and a few rocks you can dig your toes into to give you the leverage to get back to where you were before you were hanging. Do you have to imagine it? You need not give up your religion to do this... Only understand that without the work and play you put in, you cannot really touch the unlimited Oneness as you name 'he,' 'she,' or 'it' with no holds barred. We come from Oneness that is so great!
No longer make it a battle of, "I am right and you are wrong!" Our world is made of individuals like you and I. I know I need to take my power, commit to it, trust it and project it! I did not know this over night. Build yourself through repeated journeys that will get you safe in any situation and keep you on a path to self confidence.
Are you suspicious of your imagination? Were you told all or at least most of your life that you should live in reality? Well guess what! All those "Pollyanna" types who chirped their 'mind-over-matter' raps and annoyed you are no longer being vilified but instead respected. This is the era where Quantum physics and modern biology is becoming more understood by layman: A transformative outlook can be trained to be used by you. Start reading the scores of research available by writers who have published laboratory experiments that now substantiate this wonderful news. Time and space can be transformed with intention. Read the Intention Experiment by Lynn McTaggert of Noetic Science notoriety. Biologist Bruce Lipton and Steve Bhearman have written a light, but still deep book entitled, Spontaneous Evolution: Our Positive Future and a Way to Get There From Here, about how our societies' leaders of the Western world for thousands of years came to actually hope people would be controlled by governments and religions. If people didn't have any idea that each person had power to be what they want in life, there would be an uprising.
As Steve Bhearman, a.k.a., 'Swami Beyondanada' might suggest.... "It is time for an "UP-WISING." These kind of books, of which these first two are some of my favorites, are not appearing without historic and long understood principles which have been known long before people have recently heard about The New Earth by Eckhart Tolle and The Secret by a group of writers that became popularized by Oprah Winfrey. Before them, back beyond the turn of the last century, writers belonging to such groups as Rosicrucians, (now popularized in The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown) and Science of Mind and their many writers were known in a world where people were held more strongly by their religions and governments than today. Rudolf Steiner, Helena Blavatsky, Max Heindel, Alice Bailey and Vera Stanley Alder are more writers who are still known. Decades ago they spoke truths that had been pushed from our society. Those in society who would rather keep away from knowing that you as an individual have more power rather than less power are still strongly hoping to let you slip off the cliff. Will you let them do it?
Also, will you be fooled by those who tell you that it is necessarily an easy journey? One book and one series of videos and etc. etc. with quite a financial investment involved to the latest and most popular teacher, will transform you instantly? Well, I know there can be some exceptions to the rule, but MOST of you will have to become truly dedicated to your own transformation. Hours a week must be spent and you will need to do physical, emotional, spiritual, energetic and of course some mental transformational techniques for many years to really change. Most people give up before they see change and go back to the temptations our society has put in front of us to keep us under control. Will you let them do it to YOU?

Raven teaches on a beautiful beach in N. Hollywood, FL. where there are the few dedicated students who become sweeter by doing the playful work of transformation.
