What Are My Chances?

What are a person’s chances of awakening? Let us take a brief look at the lives of many average people.

Daily Stressors

  1. Often 8-10 hours of stressful work, with a 1 hour average of driving on crowded streets, or freeways, with smoke and smog to get to work, with many people on shift work or holding two to three jobs.
  2. 2-4 hours of television a day, which is often focused on distressful news, competitive sports, win/lose game shows, good guy/bad guy dramas, and jazzed up music.
  3. Power struggles at home, at work and at school
  4. Fast-food, sugar and white flour products, and stimulants such as coffee and sodas
  5. Addictive stimulants such as tobacco, alcohol and drugs
  6. Insomnia
  7. Frustrating desire for or resistance to sex
  8. Medication with side effects
  9. Restless desire for a coffee break, desire for 5 p.m., desire for the weekend, desire for vacation, desire for retirement
  10. Never paid off credit card debts and loans
  11. Only one of four families is a traditional two parent family with children
  12. One of every two marriages end in divorce
  13. Step-children and blended family adjustments
  14. Layoffs and downsizing
  15. Problems with intimacy
  16. Pornography
  17. An affair
  18. Violence or legal problems
  19. Moving every three years
  20. Illness, depression, anxiety
  21. Peer pressure to join in with the crowd to be accepted.
  22. Suffering with the stress and symptoms of such a lifestyle

Such experiences can take up most of a person’s life and time, just to survive. These behaviors, as a composite, keep a person functioning at barely a survival level. But then we are asking how can a person raise his vibratory frequency level?

In this book I have been outlining the chief way that we can change our vibratory frequency level: through divinity-awareness and infinite imagination.

In addition to divinity-awareness, there are also what I call energy enhancers.

Energy Enhancers

There are energy enhancers which can support and uplift our level of energy:

  1. Gratitude, forgiveness, and unconditional love
  2. Natural whole energy foods and drinks
  3. Exercise and relaxation
  4. Meditation, worship, prayer, and spiritual/classical music
  5. Communication and problem-solving skills
  6. Non-judgmental attitudes
  7. Intimacy/friendship/support system
  8. Use of natural health and healing products and alternative medicine when traditional medicine is not enough for chronic conditions.

Energy enhancers alone are a temporary boost. We can get a "contact high" from such experiences, but our finite mindset is operating 24/7 in the background or in the foreground of our mind and continually pulls us down or lifts us up. Our basic attitudes have to be radically altered to stay ahead of the 22 stressors of our ordinary lifestyle and collective mindset. The transition from our finite mindset to Infinity Vision is worth our study and effort.

What are the chances of enlightenment for me?

100%

What are the chances of enlightenment for me in this lifetime?

1%

Why? The chances of enlightenment are 100% because I am eternal light. Nothing short of perfect enlightenment is going to satisfy me. Anything short of perfection is going to manifest as a painful symptom, a gift to remind me that I am ignoring my spirituality and clinging to a self-created story.

God will not be mocked. Everyone of "his" will return to fellowship and union with him. And we are all "his." Not one shall be excluded. Even those who exclude themselves will not be excluded. All will return to their inherent perfection. Nothing short of godhood can content anyone.

The chances of enlightenment in this lifetime are 1%, but that is all that is needed because that 1% is our guarantee. The chances are only 1% because we are so heavily programmed that we actually believe in the human story of limitations, faults, inferiority, vulnerability, victimization, littleness, shame, separateness, deficiency, and entrapment. Even though we may be frustrated and angry about such littleness, we nevertheless believe it. We have been brainwashed if we believe that anyone is anything but fearful. Although this fearfulness has hardened into misbehavior and poor health, it can be softened and transformed. 1% can do it all. 1 ounce of truth can transform a ton of junk. And nothing can remove that 1%, guaranteed. Nothing can hide, reduce, weaken, or destroy that 1% guaranteed spirituality. The mustard seed is enough. .
