Why do experts say we’re responsible for everything that happens to us in life? Is that true?
/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-realization, Spiritual-Awakening, The Journey, Whole living /by Bob WuestI don’t know who are the so-called “experts” in your question.
Here’s what we’re responsible for: our interpretation of everything that happens to us. The meaning we ascribe to every event and circumstance. Ten people who have an identical experience will ascribe ten different meanings.
What meaning would you ascribe to this event? Read more

Sadhguru talks about organizing 4 dimensions in one direction. How do you organize these 4 basic dimensions (physical body, mind, emotions and fundamental energies of life) in one direction?
/0 Comments/in Anger, Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Love, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-love, Self-realization, Self-worth, Spiritual-Awakening, Spirituality, The Journey, Whole living /by Bob WuestI don’t know Sadhguru, sorry.
My own philosophy is that we are four bodies: physical, emotional, mental, spiritual.
It’s easy to understand how to keep the physical body in good condition: lifelong exercise. Where exercise becomes a lifestyle, rather than part of some weight loss plan. Where we devote at least several hours each week to work with free weights, or hike, or cycle…. Or something else that engages the heart, lungs and muscles.
Use it. Or lose it.
A common expression about the benefit of physical exercise.
I find this true for every aspect of ourselves. If we get a gift and we don’t use it, just like muscles – it atrophies.
So how to exercise our other three bodies? Read more

/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Intimacy, Love, Self-Awareness, Spiritual-Awakening, Whole living /by Bob WuestEvery day I make my partner coffee in the morning.

“And tomorrow?” She asks.
“I’ll tell you how I feel tomorrow”.
And I always do.

What is it about Law of Attraction that inspires you to work with it?
/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-love, Self-realization, Self-worth, Spiritual-Awakening, Spirituality, The Journey, Whole living /by Bob WuestThis might just be my favorite question EVER about the Law of Attraction!
I read it while I was out eating breakfast, and I thought about it all the way home. I couldn’t wait to sit down at my PC and see what flows through my typing fingers!
The Law of Attraction (a cute term for the concept of creating with mind) reinforces for me that there is a higher power, god, YoUniverse – call it what you will – that is benevolent. And that benevolent YoUniverse (my choice of term) is activated and programmed to respond by my predominant thought forms.
In other words, that which I give the energy of thought, intention, and desire to is guided toward me. And eventually, if I’m consistent in my thoughts, it will show up in my reality.
What’s the result of that? Read more
I am realizing that I can’t have an intellectual conversation with my boyfriend. Is there a no good way to change this beside ending the relationship?
/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Intimacy, Love, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-realization, The Journey, Whole living /by Bob WuestSure. Change your mind about how important it is to have an intellectual conversation with him. Focus on what you love about him, rather than how he fails your expectations. Get your intellectual conversation needs met elsewhere.
Why does it feel like I can make myself feel emotions, and I can no longer differentiate between what it is I actually feel, and what it is I am forcing onto myself?
/0 Comments/in Consciousness, Creating with Mind, Emotions, Energy, Gratitude, Happiness, Me, Self-Awareness, Self-love, Self-realization, Self-worth, Spiritual-Awakening, Spirituality, Vulnerability, Whole living /by Bob WuestI won’t focus on the way your question was structured (i.e. “Why”); but rather what I feel is the essence of your question: how to discern real vs. imaginary feelings.
Real emotions exist in the physical body. With attention, we can locate them. If we spend enough time and have enough interest, we can learn to know what we’re probably feeling by where we feel an energetic disturbance.
For instance: I feel anger in my face and back of my neck. It feels like red heat there.
I feel sorrow or grief (and fear, too) deep in the pit of my stomach. Fear feels like a black, amorphous blob. Sorrow or grief has less of a shape, but is usually yellow or purple in color.
Joy or happiness is felt in my chest. When I feel that I start breathing more deeply and stand straighter.
How do you do that? Read more
