I’d like to start out by welcoming all the new subscribers. I am both touched and humbled that so many have expressed an interest in Enlightened Journey. It has been an amazing and exciting month with much going on and I hope that today finds you all doing well.
Since this is a new e-zine I will take the time to explain the best that I can how things will flow with respect to the E-zine and what you can expect from “Enlightened Journey” in the future.
Within each of the upcoming “Enlightened Journey” e-zines we will be covering a specific topic, each of which is an extremely important part of each of your lives, whether or not you are currently aware of it, and how we each individually fit into it as a whole. As we progress, you will begin to develop a deeper sense of awareness as to why and how the events, conditions, and circumstances that you experience in your day to day life happen as they do. This new awareness, if applied, will allow and empower you to begin experiencing a life far greater than what you have previously known and in many cases ever thought was possible.
It is extremely important to understand that the information that is shared is only that, and until applied will remain useless. It is through the application of Correct Knowledge that you will become empowered to begin experiencing a life that is far superior to what you have become accustomed to and until now, believed that you had no control over.
I will be writing on one specific topic within each “Enlightened Journey” Ezine and including an occasional guest article from one of many world renown teachers.
I will recommend a specific action for you to take during the month that will, not only take you to the next level of understanding, but also prepare you for the next e-zine, and which will allow you to, between e-zines develop a deeper understanding of each topic discussed, if you choose to do so.
Each of the points made in “Enlightened Journey” in most cases will provide scientific proof as well as Spiritual Principles in an attempt to make it clear to everyone that these two areas are not separate as we have been led to believe, but that all things that are in existence are, and were intended to, work in Harmony for a greater purpose.

OK, Let’s get started. We’ve got a lot of ground to cover…..
The Cause Of Your Life Experiences
I know from personal experience that the majority of people in our world believe that the various events, conditions, and circumstances that they experience in life are brought about by chance or fate.
If this is your cuurent belief, you are in for an eye opening experience. After many years of trial and error, research, and soul searching, I've discovered that there is a predictable and certain way to purposely create those things that you desire for your life, regardless of what they might be.
Here is what I have discovered.
All that exists in our world, whether human, things of nature, the chair your sitting in, or the computer that you are currently looking at, when broken down into it’s purest and most basic form consists of pure energy.
I know, we’ve all been taught that everything in existence consists of millions of molecules of various structures. Although this is true, recent scientific technology has enabled us to break down and explore even deeper the intricacies of molecules, which when broken down into their most basic structures consist of pure energy, also many times referred to as pure consciousness.
Many don’t realize that ALL matter, regardless of what it is, broken down into it’s purest form, are just a bunch of individual vibrating energy packets that vibrate at varying frequencies, which attract to each other, like a magnet, additional energy vibrating at the same frequency, intertwine or join with, and once joined together form matter. ALL things regardless of what they are, seen or unseen, broken down into their purest form, are merely vibrating packets of energy.
This includes your thoughts. Your thoughts consist of individual packets of energy that join together with energies that vibrate at the same frequency or vibratory pattern, intertwine or join with, and through a process of time, create matter, or the things that you come to see or experience in your life. What that matter consists of, and what is eventually brought into the physical world, is based on the energies that you emit, and the resulting formation of those varying frequencies, or that combined energy, results in the physical manifestation of what you are eventually enabled to see, feel, hear, touch, and taste, with the five physical senses.
As an example, lets compare the process that goes on within you with the computer that you’re sitting at and using right now.
Like the main portion of the computer that you plug all the components into, (the keyboard, the mouse, etc.) Your brain serves as, and acts just as the computer, or the hardware. The brain like the computer, is the physical mass that receives and processes all the information that is fed into it. Like the computer the brain can be seen, (has a visible physical mass) and if it weren’t safely tucked away inside your skull could be touched.
Your mind is like, and acts as the operating system, (much like Windows XP etc.), and although you can’t see it in physical form once it is installed into the hardware, you know it’s there operating in the background somewhere. Even though it can’t be physically seen, all those various functions that you perform on the computer such as typing on the keyboard, accessing various programs etc., work as they should, so you know that, even though you aren’t able to physically see it with your eyes, that the operating system is present and doing what is suppose to do.
Many people believe that the mind and the brain are one and the same. They are NOT. The brain is the physical portion of the body,(the mainframe) and the mind is the unseen or spiritual. (the operating system) The brain is literally the physical tool that the mind requires to carry out it’s physical functions.
When the brain receives data or information from the mind, (thoughts) a physical and measurable electro-chemical process is initiated as the brain processes the information, as can be verified with the help of various machines. (EEG etc.)
Your thoughts are the equivalent of the software or the programs that you install into the hardware and which work together with the operating system, allowing you to perform the many various functions within the main operating system. When the operating system and the software are compatible or in harmony, everything operates smoothly and functions as it should. When they aren‘t, well, we all know what happens. Nothing within that application will work as it was designed to.
The two must be compatible. In addition, if something happens along the way and the software becomes corrupt, it has to be removed and reinstalled before it will again be able to perform it’s intended function.
Are You With Me So Far? Ok, great, let’s move on.
In order to acquire the necessary programs that we want to use, it is necessary for someone to first write or create them. In this day and age almost everyone knows someone who is a computer programmer. These programmers are the guys that input the data that create the programs, or the software that we install into our computer hardware. The programs that are written, after being installed, allow us to enjoy the benefit of the many things that we can do on our computer. A game that you play on the computer is software. The text editor that I am using to write "Enlightened Journey" is the software, or program that allows me to do so. Different programmers write various programs or software that we use and enjoy every time we sit down at the computer.
The result of this combination of hardware, operating system, and software is the visible appearance of what shows up on your computer monitor, which can be likened to your life results. The computer, the operating system, and the software (the cause) all work in harmony together to bring about the desired results, (The effect) which shows up on the monitor that you are looking at.
In the same way the combination of the brain,(hardware) the mind,(operating system) and the thoughts that you think, (software or programs) all work together to bring into physical form those results that show up and that you experience in your life.
Now, something to ponder on, and think more deeply about. Just as the computer programmer must write or create the programs that you use and are necessary for you to experience the effects every time you log on to your computer, someone is also creating the programs or software that are responsible for bringing about the results that you experience in your life.
Who writes those programs? You Guessed It. YOU!
You quite literally write the programs that determine the outcome, (effects) or what you come to experience in the physical world, with your thoughts! Each and every one of your physical experiences that show up in, and that you experience in your life each and every day, YOU are the programmer that writes the various types of software, that, just like the results that are manifest and displayed on your computer monitor, you are experiencing in your life based on the programs that are being inputted!
These thoughts (programs) that you create or think (an average of 60,000 per day) create an electro-chemical reaction in your brain and somewhere during the process beliefs and emotions are formed and become attached to those thoughts. Based on the joining of these three creative forms of energy a memory is born and is stored in the vast, and unlimited subconscious portion of your mind. (memory card)
The resulting memory that is created, is based solely on what you have created through your thought process and allowed to be stored in there. Many of the memories that you have stored are received through previous teachings, life experiences, etc. The combination of these thoughts, beliefs, and emotions, and the resulting memory form your perception of each and every thing that you come to experience in your life, and are what attract and eventually manifest in your physical world EVERYTHING that you come to experience.
Many have heard the age old quote, "Whether you think you can, or whether you think you can’t, you’re right."
It is absolutely dead on target and correct! The resulting memory, or what you end up believing as a result of the above process literally determines what you are able and unable to do in your life! The things that you are capable of achieving (or not capable of achieving) are TOTALLY dependent and based solely on your current or previous programming which results in a vibrational output based on your currently established beliefs, which in turn determines what you attract and eventually come to see and experience in your life! You, like the computer programmer in the previous example, are writing the very programs that are creating your results in life.
So, what can you do to change the resulting events, conditions, and circumstances if they are not in alignment with, and producing the kind of results that you desire to have in our life?
You Guessed It Again....
Change the Thoughts (programs) that are creating them!
These programs that are creating these events, conditions, and circumstances, that you are experiencing, need to be removed, cleaned of the viruses that they contain, and reinstalled before you can expect them to begin producing different results. Just as you are able to remove unwanted programs or viruses from your computer hardware, you have the ability to change and re-write the programs that you are and have been installing into your subconscious.
You only need to develop the awareness as to how to go about it.
Is this possible? Absolutely. It is more than possible, it is necessary and is EXACTLY what needs to be done to begin creating different results in your life.
And that brings us to our First Action Step for the next 30 days.
What You Can Do
Begin to develop a conscious awareness of WHAT programs you are writing by becoming conscious of what you are thinking about.
As we mentioned above, the average person thinks 60,000 thoughts per day. The majority of people in our world couldn’t tell you what 95% or more of those thoughts consisted of if you asked them. The result is that they are unconsciously and leaving to chance what they are creating in their life.
By becoming aware or conscious of what it is that you are creating, you can then begin to take the action steps necessary to change those thoughts that aren’t serving you and begin to attract and bring about different results. The results that you DESIRE to see in your life!
This is a necessary and CRUCIAL first step in beginning to change the events, conditions, and circumstances in your life, that you desire to change.
Which brings us to the Specific Action Steps for you to take.
Your Specific Action Steps
For The Month.
As you go about your day to day duties and activities, make an effort to become aware of the random thoughts that pass through your mind and make mental or written notes as to the specific minute by minute thoughts that arise.
Begin to make a conscious effort and begin thinking about what you’re thinking about. When you discover a thought that isn’t in alignment with what it is that you want to see brought into your life, STOP, for a second and CORRECT the thought.
Although it is not absolutely necessary, It is best if you can write them down as soon as you possibly can. If you don’t, you will forget them. When you do, and are able to look at and review them when you are idle or unbusy, and you will begin to clearly see the pattern of thoughts (programs) that are responsible for creating your outcomes and causing your life to unfold as it is. The most important thing that you are trying to accomplish is becoming aware of the thought patterns that up until now, you were unconscious about.
Many people find that journaling is an effective way to consciously bring their predominant thoughts into awareness. By taking a few minutes each day and just writing down whatever it is that comes to mind, without analyzing whatsoever whatever that rain of thought might be, you will discover a definite pattern as to why your experiences in life are happening as they are, and doing so will make it much easier to begin the process of doing away with the thoughts that aren’t serving you and learning to replace them with thoughts that will.
An Eye Opening Exercise
This exercise will only take a few minutes and will allow you to clearly see just how active your mind continually is without you even being consciously aware of it. Take two minutes RIGHT NOW and do the following....
Close your eyes and for the next 2 minutes, just allow your mind to go blank. Don’t think a single thought for just the next 2 minutes. Don’t think Anything, just allow your mind to be totally blank. You can visualize a single thing to focus on. Maybe visualize an object like the sun, or a glowing ball, or whatever you choose. It really doesn’t matter what it is, the important thing is to just focus your attention on that single object and achieve non thought. Take 2 minutes, close your eyes, and do it right now.
OK, How’d you do? Pretty amazing isn’t it? This exercise allows you to develop the awareness of just how noisy your mind really is without you ever being consciously aware of it. This awareness is the first crucial step in learning to develop the ability to become continually conscious of how active your mind really is, and which will begin to allow you to learn how to quiet the endless stream of unconscious thought and mindless babble that you have each day. Once this is accomplished it will allow you to begin to learn how to begin to replace the unconscious and mindless babble with conscious and focused thoughts which are in alignment with what you want to see manifest in your life.
I urge you to, if you haven’t already, try the little experiment above, and until the next "Enlightened Journey" newsletter comes out, make a conscious effort to become aware of the minute by minute thoughts that you think each day. If you will, I Promise it will be a valuable and Eye Opening experience. You will begin to see the pattern as to how and why the daily events, conditions, and circumstances that you are experiencing in your life happen as they do.
Make a conscious and focused effort to think about what you're thinking about and you will be one step closer to becoming a "creator of circumstance" rather than a "victim of circumstance."

For Further Study and Contemplation
Scientific Research
E=MC2
One of the greatest minds of all time discovered the fact that ALL things in the Universe consist of energy many many years ago. His name is Albert Einstein. The formula documenting this discovery is E=Mc2. (E=Mc squared)
Although the initial discovery of this wasn’t widely accepted by the scientific community initially, it is now the basis by which almost all scientific study is based. If you choose, do a little research on this amazing discovery in the coming days.
Cause and Effect
The Law of Cause and Effect as defined in the scientific community is....
"The Law Of Cause and Effect is the law by which THOUGHT correlates with it’s object."
When you get an opportunity, make it a point to study the
Universal Laws
which are the Supreme Laws that rule our entire Universe. Read about each of these laws and it will assist you in developing a much deeper understanding and a firm belief in how the power of your thoughts can and will change your entire life.
