Every day, we make choices that shape our existence, but how much do our thoughts influence these choices? This exploration into consciousness and destiny raises critical questions about our role in life. Are we the architects of our reality, creating it through our consciousness, or are we merely following a predetermined path? Understanding this relationship can offer valuable insights into the way we direct our lives.
Have you ever thought, 'nothing works out for me'? "I'm doomed." While things do have a way of turning out differently than what you saw in your mind's eye, when you affirm that nothing works out for you, you are conditioning yourself to that expectation which you speak unto thee.
From a renowned Vedic scholar, leader of the Maharishi Foundations, and Harvard-trained neuroscientist: a radical new paradigm for understanding Consciousness and finding enlightenment, peace, and fulfillment
The words you pronounce, you keep. The word you speak defines what your life experience becomes.
The words you pronounce become you. When you critique others you own what you say. Your thoughts do not own you. You own your thoughts. You create them with your mind willingly or not.
You may have lots of thoughts that you can watch and let go. You don't have to cling to the thoughts that negate you. But to the ones that multiply what your heart truly wishes, to those give voice and they will multiply.
Our power is in our vibration. Our vibration varies throughout out day and livespan to various herz. Sound is a force that moves matter and influences vibration just like movement. First come thought, then action, then life happens and you never even knew what you thought about all that time.

Defining Consciousness and Destiny
To effectively discuss this connection, we first need to clarify our terms.
Consciousness refers to our awareness of thoughts, feelings, and the environment. For example, when you laugh at a joke, you experience joy in the moment. This awareness enables us to process our surroundings and make decisions.
Destiny, on the other hand, points to the belief that certain outcomes in life may be predetermined by external forces. This idea leads us to reflect on whether we actively shape our destinies or simply follow a script laid out for us.
The Power of Thought
The influence of thought on our experiences is immense. The concept that "thoughts create reality" is not just a popular saying; it is an idea backed by research. For example, a 2018 study found that individuals who maintained a positive outlook were 31% more likely to achieve their goals. When I focus on positive outcomes, I often find unexpected opportunities arise. On the flip side, negative thoughts can create a cycle of discouragement, where I miss out on potential successes.
This principle aligns with many spiritual philosophies, which argue that our individual consciousness plays a key role in shaping our reality.

Although pain is inevitable, suffering is optional.
The Role of Intention
Setting clear intentions is another powerful way to influence our destinies. When I deliberately outline what I want in different aspects of my life—whether it's finding a job, building relationships, or traveling—I engage my consciousness more fully.
For example, during a recent trip to Italy, instead of being a passive tourist, I decided I wanted to immerse myself in the local culture. I sought out a cooking class, met locals, and even participated in a vineyard tour. This proactive approach led to memorable experiences and friendships that I might not have made had I simply followed a generic travel itinerary.
Intentions act like a compass, providing direction and clarity. By consistently setting these intentions, I find that I am more likely to achieve meaningful experiences.
The Influence of Beliefs
Beliefs play a crucial, yet often underestimated, role in our lives. They can either empower us or hold us back. For instance, research shows that 70% of people feel they have limiting beliefs affecting their work performance. I have experienced this firsthand, thinking I wasn’t qualified enough for promotional opportunities because of self-doubt.
Once I recognized these limiting beliefs, I began replacing them with empowering thoughts. For instance, rather than saying "I can't do this," I started saying, "I can learn how to do this." This shift opened new doors for me. I was able to pursue new projects, which in turn led to career advancements I had once believed were out of reach.
The Impact of Awareness
Awareness is essential for understanding how consciousness and destiny work together. When we become mindful of our thoughts and actions, we can respond thoughtfully rather than react out of habit.
In my journey, practicing mindfulness has revealed moments of synchronicity—those timely events that seem to align perfectly with my intentions. For instance, when I decided to focus on my health, I coincidentally met a fitness coach who aligned perfectly with my goals. Recognizing these moments strengthens my belief that awareness can guide our path.
Moreover, mindfulness helps me release worries about the past or future and keeps me present. This focus allows me to make choices that align with my values, paving the way for positive experiences.
Embracing Uncertainty
While I aim for direction, I’ve also learned to accept life’s uncertainties. Realizing that some aspects of destiny lie beyond my control can be liberating.
During one of my travels, I encountered an unexpected concert in a small town. Initially, I hesitated to go, unsure of what to expect. However, attending led to a joyful evening filled with local music and new friends.
By blending intention with openness to life's surprises, I find that consciousness and destiny work in harmony. Our awareness creates a framework for life, much like a river naturally carves its path.
Reflecting on My Journey
Through my exploration of consciousness and destiny, I have gained valuable insights. I’ve realized that how I engage with my thoughts, set intentions, and challenge limiting beliefs profoundly impacts my reality.
I may not control every aspect of what happens to me, but I can choose how I respond and navigate life’s challenges. This journey has taught me that by nurturing awareness and remaining open to the unexpected, I can genuinely influence my destiny.
As you reflect on your path, consider how your consciousness is shaping your reality. Take the time to explore your thoughts and intentions, challenge beliefs that limit you, and embrace the unpredictability of life. You hold the power to create a life that resonates with who you truly are.
Does our level of consciousness dictate our fulfilment?
The purpose of this post is to propose a method of becoming aware of our level of consciousness to help seekers unveil the highest level of consciousness in our current embodiment- for the benefit of all sentient beings and the collective good karma of the world we live in.
In other words, how can we evolve into a more peaceful friend to all living beings and the Earth at a global level? And individually, how can our level of consciousness dictate our well-being and that of the people we care for? As they say at Unity, ‘let peace begin with me.’
This and every end of a calendar year earthlings will make promises, adopt resolutions, and devise the best plan for their intentions for the upcoming 365 days. But New Year resolutions may soon turn stale and end up forgotten amid the automaticity of daily life in which we fall back into, way too fast. Time passes, and in the course of a decade, dreams and goals have nearly ceased to exist. Painful memories of broken promises to ourselves get pushed back even deeper into the unconscious mind only to become reabsorbed into future manifestations of the same. Nothing changes.
Almost every week, certainly every New Year, every new season, each time we feel the tug of the muse, our mind-body-soul connection may sit us down to write our “to-do list” for that week, year, life, and ultra self. I’ve created too many “to-do lists” and not just when it’s time to turn a calendar page. My dreams and aspirations have remained nearly the same list after list, year after year, seasons in and seasons out. But no matter how many times I reaffirm my life goals, they are not being materialized yet. So many sidetracks come around! And each one can be used as an excuse or an opportunity. Or do you know when to say no to your flings?
"But this end of the year is different," haven't we heard ourselves say that, too, many times? I've decided to shift from goals of what I want to achieve, to WHO I want to BE because I WILL only have one wish, one goal, and one direction WHICH has nothing to do with the phenomenal world's steps that I need to take to accomplish my life-long dream of becoming a popular author in my time. Someone who will be able to help the world through stories. Someone who will not only entertain but also educate through stories. A level of story-telling that includes diversifications. The dream has been there from the start, and the goals are in motion, "about to score" (as always), "if only my consciousness were at a level or two higher!!! That's the key. Let me say this again. The goal is not to obtain a dream home or become a rich and famous author. The goal is to achieve a level of consciousness in which you will always feel accomplished and able to overpower your own obstacles.
That’s my take on this year’s resolution. If I climb the spiritual ladder of enlightenment, if my vision becomes unobstructed by delusions, and I focus on what makes a difference, then, because my body-mind-soul connection already has the blueprint (all those lists and the actions that followed), I can expand my reality to manifest the always present dream vision that keeps lurking in the shadows when I ignore it and makes me smile once upon a time which can help the world become a bit closer to enlightenment. Is it real? Do I hear the voice of doubt? Of course. It, too, is always there.
How are you planning to end the cycle of suffering in your life as of 2021 and beyond?
Well, reflecting on 2020 and previous years in this life span, so far, I’d say the level of my consciousness has manifested in two hip replacement surgeries from July to September of 2020; 20 years in public education’s prisons of the mind helping children escape through storytelling that heals and makes you feel alive; a few books self-published that have my mind wrapped up around their success, the production of a film adaptation of one of the newage stories my soul creates premiered. I also look at my closest family and the relationships we have created by default. I see a lot of good and more intentional work to be done.
I intend for a new era of giving and receiving love to unfold throughout the rest of my time. Hope satisfies Faith. Faith is believing. Then the universe did say to me when I was already bent over the keyboard making up a storm trying design my own website, "You can't do it all alone. Get people to help you." And that's exactly what I am doing. Hey, after all, I never expected anyone else to do it all on their own, so why should I? The next part comes, the doubt. How are you going to pay for it? " Where there is will ...," you know the rest.
With Hope instead of doubt, we can put our trust in the hands of experts. "But we must stay vigilant," says doubt. "Please do," replies Hope. We can keep trekking in the fields of our imagination and let the wings of the concepts embedded in the vessel speak for themselves. Just watch how the universe guides the process, believe!
To steer and control the entire process of manifesting during the span of a lifetime actively involved instead of by default! Yet, we choose to think we cannot. Constantly in motion, the elements of nature combine to formulate our human experience. Sound waves from a web. Light particles tumble in. A drop of dew is formed. Our senses flood with stimuli, we hear the voices of the past, we react according to the code. We move in Litany. we act in response to the laws of inertia. To cut this process off is not easy. Change your thoughts!
First, watch them. Then practice them out loud. Then see what it is that you are thinking because your THOUGHTS ARE THE ONES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL. Reverse this by thinking the thoughts that will make you feel good as instantly as possible.
