When confusion takes over it is best to re-analyze our life and see what it is in the first place that brought us there. In other words, what was our motivation, what was the reason why we started the journey, to get into this particular pathway?

In our everyday life we are bombarded by all different kinds of information and it is very easy to lose track. While at the moment a new idea is born it is easy to find a way to accomplish our goal, we then lose the sight of our goal as we move into that pathway we think will bring us to the destination…. But it is actually bringing us, maybe somewhere, but definitely to some place of confusion.

That pathway sometimes is no longer clear at the moment we start walking it, and this is for two main reasons:

1)      We realize that we need something else other than what we have considered; we realize that we need more tools, more information, more training, more, more, more…..

2)      Therefore we change the goal by changing our mind. Our mind is not focused directly on the purpose anymore and we are convinced that there is something else we need to achieve first, or it is more important to achieve something else than what we have planned.

Again, the result for all this is: we get stuck. Now, some people put out lots of energy trying to achieve a goal, and at the end of it they find themselves exhausted. They have lost their spirit and their energy in the process, and they have nurtured their ego and sense of self-centered power. and instead of giving them power, they realize that the pursue of that goal has actually deprived them of power. They have put themselves into a pedestal and, sooner or later, they will realize they missed something… the contact with the spirit of what they were trying to accomplish.

Confusion sneaks in without us even noticing it and at some point we have lost our most powerful treasure, that sense of inspiration that drove us forward at the beginning. What was it?

So today I am going to show you how to get back in touch with that purpose and how to do it in the most simple way.

THE SIMPLEST PRACTICE

So, here’s the simplest approach one should take towards making his life much more simple and directed towards inspired action: COME BACK WHERE YOU WERE. Bring yourself back there mentally, close your eyes and do it now. Maybe you can really do it right now. What is it in your life that seems to have lost significance? It could be anything, your relationship, a specific point in your career, your spiritual path. Think about it and keep it right there in front you in your mind. Now close your eyes and bring yourself back to the point where you first embraced that idea. Take your time and bring yourself back there. What was it that motivated you to start taking that idea into a reality? And what was its purpose? Was the purpose good for your soul, for your body, for your mind, for your emotional balance? Is that purpose still good for you? Go back there and feel it again.

Now, you will instantly how many diversion on the path you have taken. Do you think you have moved forward all the time towards accomplishing that purpose into your goals? Are your goals accomplishing that purpose?

Ok, depending on the individual there might be different responses. For example, some people are disconnected with their goals and purpose. In other words, they feel the exuberance of having found a worthy purpose to pursue, but then they set their pathway into accomplishing lots of goals that might not be directly related to their purpose. The line needs to be straight. You must set goals that are in DIRECT relation to the purpose of your idea. If you want to help people, for example let’s say you are a healer, then you should start healing, and set goals only to start healing people directly. Most people think that they need to build first a huge platform, a huge company, and huge income, etc… so that then they can start fulfilling their purpose, and of course they get lost in the way. But if you are a healer and you start creating opportunities and situation for you to heal and for people to be healed, then what is necessary to do will come up, and you can either do it yourself for the sake of your purpose, or you can even outsource it as you continue to follow your purpose.

Some people realize that the motivation that drove them at the beginning sound wrong to them now, or that are not in relation with who they really are. So they realize they have been going through a pathway that doesn’t really resonate with their purpose and also realize that what gave them energy was put on the side.

I would like you to think of a time where you felt absolutely great, where you felt exuberant and excited, when, even if for a tiny moment, hundreds of thousands of doors of possibilities opened in front of the screen of your mind and the wind of a great new change, of new incredible directions touched you gently. What was it? What was the purpose of what you had in mind at that time. Bring yourself there and find the purpose of what was worth following.

Was that giving you energy as you would it? Was that also bringing you peace and a sense that that was  the right thing to do? Not because someone told you, but because you had that sense spontaneously within you.

SIMPLE PATHWAYS TO ACCOMPLISH

1^ST PATHWAY

Draw a straight line between where you are now and to the full accomplishment of your purpose. Please note that I said your PURPOSE and not your goal.

Now fill up the line with dots. Every dot is a station, a step through which you are going to move forward towards the accomplishment of that purpose from where you are now. It is that simple.

Follow the steps and, if after the first step you realize there is another step that will draw you closer to the full expression of your purpose and more quickly, then again change the line and re-draw the dots. In all this, KEEP ALWAYS THE PURPOSE at your sight on the paper. You current situation might change, and your pathway might change.

When you think you will have reached your purpose, then maybe you will want to live your purpose for all your life, or build and expand on your purpose.

If you have trouble in getting the steps done, then follow this easy procedure than many people already know: try again in different ways until you can do more of what works and less of what doesn’t until you reach your destination

2^ND PATHWAY

Decide where you want to go and keep it in front of your eyes always. Start going there. Keep on going until you get there. That’s it.

I love this second pathway, because it is easy to remember. And very effective. But the first one is incredibly good and it helps to build a good and easy strategy to get where you want while also keeping your mind open to a possible change in your strategy as you get closer to your goal.

Strategies can only be understood in relation to where you are now, and where you are now will change consistently as you move forward. With these two methods for following a pathway you can keep it simple.

Remember only choose what brings you directly to your purpose without diversion. Resist the temptation of thinking that you need to do 500.000 things before you can even start going in the direction of your purpose, that’s an illusion. That’s why many people don’t see meaning into their life. Yes, you need the courage to live your purpose it’s true. But why not preparing and learn while doing? Why not having enough humility to change your approach so that you can always say “I am not sure about this, let me check it out and I will come back to you in a few hours”?

Start living your purpose now. Or start living for what you think is right, make that your purpose and start to think about its meaning. What is the meaning that has in your life? What is its deepest meaning, and what is the purpose of it?

You see, by right questioning, by just taking the time a few minutes a day to start bringing back your purpose up into your mind and clarifying it, make it clear until you know that that is it, then you will also be able to create a simple pathway that will lead you there.

Another reason why people get confused is because they don’t clarify the purpose of what they are doing enough, therefore they do something else, they follow goals that are disconnected with their true purpose and that do not bring them anywhere really. This is because their personality is split in two. On one side they have not defined well their purpose and they start setting goals that do not serve them well, and on the other side, they subconsciously know they should be looking for something else and therefore, when they write their goals, they don’t even achieve the wrong destination they have set, because they subconsciously try to set goals that will drive them towards their true purpose. So the purpose is wrong, and the goals they set are not right either for the wrong purpose or for the right purpose.

Take a few minutes out of your day, and start seeing the real purpose of why you are doing what you are doing, or make your purpose something that you think it is right to do, and think, meditate upon its deepest meaning.

And write goals that will lead you directly there. Forget about what you have been doing before. Just see what you could do to get there.

Now, when life gets extremely complicated, it is time to simplify. Come back to what is important. First things first. If Clarity + Simplicity gives you a Powerful Pathway to follow, your life will also be benefited by the right actions as you give importance to what needs to be important. Clarify, make it simple and clear. Do not wait that someone becomes perfect, or that you become perfect. Life is not about being perfect, it is about doing your best, it is about learning, it is about good will. You can be of benefit to yourself, to the world around you and God loves you for this and for who you are.

A mother and a father love their children for who they are, they see the good and the best in you, and you can be the best of who you want to be if your clarify and decide to be yourself in the good version of who you are, if you are now what you would like to be.

Welcome to another Life Catalyst Blog Post.

This is the general transcription of the Radio show entitled “New Opportunities and Financial Improvement“, which you can downalod here:

Enjoy it and let me know what you think:

QUESTION
I want to move to San Diego California to expand my (Animal Acupressure) work.
My deepest questions..tough question.  I am afraid, that I can’t do this by myself, take care of myself on a long-term needs.  Moving and starting over, new people, finding a place to live and everything required is a Pattern for me. This one [maybe this time*] I want to meet the people my Soul long’s for.
I want this to be safe, fun, comfortable, easy…not a struggle, which is feels like right now, especially feels physically challenging. Have all the Masters and Adepts experienced this struggle to move forward in their human lives?

ANSWER
Certain things are definitely out of our control and we might need help. We could do it alone once we have established a solid foundation. Therefore my opinion here is that you need to find the earth element of your new change… this means that you need a foundation. Look for someone who has it, or who would help you in sharing the struggles, especially someone who’s practical on what you are missing at the moment.

Another solution would be to learn, and get the foundations yourself. If you choose this way of doing it, know that it needs time and you need to plan your learning. Therefore you must dedicate a certain period of time to learning, acquire the earth quality of your new change, and then transfer what you have learned into concrete step by step actions.

Another solution would be to start being part of another institution where they are doing similar work and join them with your service, until you will be ready to go on your own.

The real important thing is to organize it. If you can’t ground it in facts and action, you must ground it on paper, crystallize it. Build the earth element, do NOT leave it in the mind.

The fact that you want to meet people your soul longs for, and want it to be safe, it can be done. You should send out the request to God and to the Universe to help you, guide you, and protect you. You should abandon yourself completely during the practice of HONG SAU, and after the practice, you could continue your abandonment expressing your concern and needs to God. Get God on your side. Sit as you were in His true presence right here and now, and abandon yourself. Say “Take my life in your hands, I would like ‘this and that’, if it is your will… but I know that you want my greatest happiness and peace”.

The struggles Masters and Adepts have gone through are many and of different kinds… some of them where monks and their struggles where of different nature, sometimes highly mystical some other times psychological. We must remember that we should see our lives, whatever it is, from a mystical point of view, where we have a place in the Cosmic Net of God.

QUESTION
Dear Mr. Sandee, good day! I just want to know how could I improve my financial status in life, I want to be financially successful so that I could be a blessing to all who are also financially down. Thank you and may God bless you always in your good plight in helping more people just like me.

ANSWER
There are various ways through which you can improve your finances. All of these methods require energy and dedication, and in my opinion there is no lazy way of doing it.

First of all, organize your time better and clear your clutter, so that you CAN work smarter and not harder. Start cleaning your desk, through small papers that have been there for months and that you have stored in some parts of your drawer. Clean, clean and clean. Tidy up, tidy up, tidy up.

This is preparation work. And now another preparation work:

Start healing your relationship with money. When you think about money what do you think? If you think negatively about it, or if there is lots of conflict, it simply means that you have obstructed the pathway between you and money. Some people think money is evil, money is at the base of vice, it is hard to get, it never shows up, people with money are bad, if money comes it will also go soon, etc… Now think of money as energy. Everything is energy based. If you relate to it with this state of mind you are associating the form of money to that kind of energy and it will behave and react to your life in the way you focus your energy.

Money is money, money is energy, energy is energy. It doesn’t matter what it is, it can go downward or upward. It is the same energy, but it has two possible direction, down or up. If you make it go down, you will have a hard time with it, not balanced at all. If you make it go up it will acquire vibrancy.

Also think of money as your friend. If you say to one of your friends the he is evil, that he only belongs to bad people, and that you are disappointed with him, what will happen is, most probably, that you will lose a friend.

So think of your best friend, or the best person you can think of, and write down all of his/her qualities, than make money your best friend. You will see you might have resistance, if you have it just say to yourself: “Yes, this is how it was before, but now I am changing my relationship with money, I want a better relationship with it”. This is an important message to your subconscious mind, you have to embrace the messages of your subconscious mind and not ignore them. Your subconscious cannot be fooled, but you must wisely re-direct it towards what you want.

Then, I would suggest you to write a list of all your talents. Of things that you can do very well, and things that you could do very well if you just had a little training and/or learning. So write that down, it is very important to crystallize your thoughts. Then, let some time pass, maybe a day, and forget about yourself, forget about yourself completely. Then ask this question:

“If I were looking for this specific service (one of the things you can do very well) what would I want to find?”

Then readjust your service to provide that.

Then ask the same question to other people, or try to find answers from other people, like through forums for examples, or asking directly to them, and readjust your service as you receive more answers. It is the form of your service than needs adaptation and not your talents, really important. Yes, you might realize that you have to learn something new, and do it, but you don’t have to wear a role otherwise you will not have a true basis upon which to build real prosperity.

And, as I said, work smarter, organize your mind and work better. Make it clear in your mind just before you start, and then go straight to the point. It will require so much less time and your work will have shape.
