The world rests on your shoulders.

I know you can feel the pressure every waking hour of every single day.

Where you are right now, you refuse to stay there because this is not where you are meant to be.

You are meant for bigger and better things.

You are going to get those things no matter the cost. You are strong, and you understand that winning is only for the strong, never for the weak.

So you hustle your ass off, day in and day out.

But…

Nothing seems to be happening.

You look back at the past year and note all the things you have been doing, doing, doing, but it seems like nothing actually got done.

You are still living in the same shitty apartment. Your income has not improved. Your business ideas haven’t made a single dollar. Obviously, you are doing something wrong.

There is a key principle here that you’re missing.

Alignment of The Mind

You are more than just your body.

You are also a Mind.

The Kybalion states in its First Principle: “THE ALL IS MIND; The Universe is Mental”

The Operators of The Matrix would like to have you believe that everything on this physical plane is governed strictly by physical phenomenon.

If you truly believe this then you are truly asleep.

Your Mind has the capacity to move mountains.

Adolf Hitler, regardless what you think about him, understood this Principle. This is how he managed to massacre millions of people and make the world shake in fear.

Mahatma Gandhi, also understood this Principle. This is how he made the world’s largest empire give up one of its most profitable colonies, providing Independence to India.

What both of these men had in common is an unshakable commitment to one singular path. All of their mental faculties were focused, ALIGNED, into one goal. Everything else was tossed to the wind.

I know what you are thinking.

“But I have been committing myself! Don’t you understand how much I have sacrificed? I have been working everyday towards this goal, what more focus do you need?”

Let me provide you with an analogy so you can understand.

Target Practice

A sniper has a target.

The sniper’s goal is to use the rifle to launch a bullet through the air that will strike at that precise target.

In order to do this, several things must be aligned.

The barrel needs to be perfectly manufactured to launch the bullet onto a straight path.

The rifle’s scope must be adjusted perfectly to align with the trajectory of the barrel.

The sniper’s eye must be in alignment with the reticle in the scope.

The sniper’s breath must be aligned to pull the trigger at the end of exhalation.

The wind must be aligned with the trajectory which the sniper chooses for the bullet.

Once all these aspects are aligned, the bullet will cut through the air and reach its target with ease.

Pretend that your mind is a rifle. You are the sniper.

God gave you a rifle with all its components in perfect alignment.

You, the sniper, want to hit target X.

As you lie down to take aim you get the target in your sights. But then, you start to become afraid that you might not hit the target so you keep messing with the scope. Adjusting it this way and adjusting it that way. Your FEAR told you that God is not perfect. You think that the way you adjusted it now must be better. You pull the trigger and miss, now you have sinned.

Sin, is an archery term that means “to miss the target”.

You curse yourself for it and take aim again. This time, you put the scope back to its original adjustment. You have the target in your sights, perfect. You will definitely hit it now. You get excited at the IDEA of hitting the target, and your breathing becomes rapid. In your excitement, you rush to pull the trigger and end up pulling at the beginning of an inhale, BOOM, you missed again.

You think, “I must not be meant for this”. But your determination prevents you from quitting. So you lie back down to take aim again. Target in your sights, your scope is aligned, your barrel is straight, you calm down and take a deep breath…exhale…BOOM. The bullet lands to the left of the target. Fuck!!!

You look up at the trees and see the canopy swaying to the left. You failed to take into consideration the environment around you and you missed again.

Now you start to wonder. Why am I shooting at this target? Who told me that this is the target I am supposed to hit?

Good questions indeed.

Aligning Soul With Mind and Body

You are more than just your physical body.

You are more than just a Mind.

YOU, are a Soul, inhabiting a Body, using a Mind to operate it.

The Soul decided to incarnate into this plane in order to carry out a PURPOSE.

That purpose is your TARGET.

The more the Soul is awakened. The more it will exert influence in your life and demand to be heard.

The Soul does not care what the Body wants.

The Soul does not care what the Mind wants.

The Soul only cares about hitting ITS target.

Realize that Your Soul is the Piece of God that resides within you.

Your radio comm has headquarters chiming in about what target you MUST hit next. These are the Operators of The Matrix. Ignore Them.

Turn your radio off and listen to what your Soul has to say.

It may not say anything right now. That’s okay. Wait…

Scan the field with your scope…

You may be there for days, months, or years, that’s okay. The Soul runs on its own Divine Timing. Keep scanning the field.

It will hit you like a lightning bolt. “Target Acquired!” your Soul screams out to you.

This is where Perfection Exists.

You will pull out that rifle and lay the barrel down. Put your eye behind the scope and place the target within your reticle. You rotate the power ring one quarter counter-clockwise, note the wind blowing to the right and adjust the windage turret appropriately. You lock sights with the target, exhale, pull. BOOM.

You did it. You hit the target. You barely had to think about it. You simply executed.

When Your Soul, Mind, and Body are in alignment towards the same goal. There is no way you can miss.

Why Do We Operate From Misalignment?

The Soul always knows what it wants. Sometimes its takes time for the Mind and Body to catch up and align themselves with the Soul.

During these periods of misalignment we may feel as if we are lacking, confused, or downright incompetent.

So we just continue to take aim and shoot any pretty looking target that comes across our way.

Why? Because we must keep shooting. If we don’t keep shooting then we are not trying hard enough and everyone around us including ourselves will think we are a failure, or worst yet just a lazy piece of trash.

Sometimes we hit these targets, sometimes we don’t. Regardless, it never brings us any real satisfaction and we begin to question ourselves.

Sure…doing, action, movement, and hustle have their place. But so does stopping, silence, stillness, and being.

Simply BEing.

What does that even mean?

It means that you Exist.

It means that you Exude your aura in stillness.

It means that you Listen.

These seasons of stillness are demanded whenever you go through major transitions in your life.

The Dark Night of The Soul. Spiritual Awakenings. Post-Traumatic Recovery.

These are the moments where stillness has its place.

Why is stillness needed here? Because this is when ALIGNMENT is demanded of you.

These are the seasons when change in your Soul is occurring. During change, nothing is aligned, everything in your consciousness is moving to a new place to create an entirely new YOU.

Trying to “make something happen” in this place of misalignment will only cause more misalignment.

Your barrel is crooked, your scope is not leveled.

You will do, do, do, and do some more, but nothing actually got done.

That success you were chasing never reaches you.

That result you were looking for never materializes.

Why? Because a misaligned person can never carry a POTENT INTENTION.

When misaligned, your intention is backed by only a few aspects of your being. Your fear, your desires, your need for approval, only these aspects will carry that intention, while the rest of you struggles in defiance.

The Universe only responds to POTENT INTENTION. The type of intention that can only be carried by a person that is FULLY ALIGNED. Mind, Body, AND SOUL.

Fear is the mark of a misaligned person.

Faith is the mark of an Aligned person.

Once you’re aligned, everything you do becomes successful.

Everything you do becomes fruitful.

We need to focus less on doing and focus more on being.

We need to focus less on success and focus more on alignment.

Then…success is easy.
