Life Alchemist

The job of the alchemist is to turn ordinary base metals into gold.

When you are faced with a challenging situation, you can become a victim or you can create gold and be a “life alchemist.”

Your life was not meant to be misery and you can attract amazing things and live the life of your dreams. But sometimes in the best of lives, the Universe will throw you a small challenge. 

You can fall into despair, or put on your alchemist’s robes and make some golden magic. The key is just a little bit of distance. 

Don’t let the situation become your energy. Keep a distance. Look at the situation. What “metals” do you have to work with? Has your spinning wheel been properly oiled and ready for work?

A sleepless night can become an explosion of creativity. A challenging encounter can become a funny story or poem. 

Everything you encounter in your life is gold. You simply, have to remember that you are the one in charge of bringing out the sparkle. ~Silas

You Are More Than Enough

Many of you do not feel complete. You look for something outside of yourself to "fix" you and then feel even more broken when it leaves. 

This might be a job, a home, or a relationship. 

Yet you are a complete entity unto yourself. A fully functioning and perfect being of Divine origin. Why would you need the aid or validation of another to make you whole?

You are such an amazing creature when viewed from behind the veil. It amazes us that you cannot see this, and yet that is your greatest power: To convince yourself that you are powerless. 

It is a game that is fun, but it is time to start focusing on the end goal and use your resources to get to the next level.

To encourage yourself to love yourself today, we remind you that you are an expression of the Divine that is equal to the greatest of souls who have walked on this planet.

You are not weak, you are not in need, you are made of magic! Now go and work your miracles! ~Silas

Believe it!

You may wonder why the Universe does not always reward you with abundance and prosperity. You do your affirmations daily, you think positive thoughts and you envision the event as though it has already happened.

So, why are you not rich, famous or living a fairy tale life?

 Is the Law of Attraction a Divine con game? Is a supreme being playing with your life like a toy?

If you create such a mean overlord in your mind, he might do just that, but it is unlikely. You already do not use the power you have to create the little things in your life. Why would you believe you are capable of conjuring an omnipotent, imaginary bully?

 

Sadly, if you look in the mirror, you will see just such a bully. 

No one will ever treat you as unkindly as you already treat yourself. No one will be as strict with you or demand so much.

You are a bit like a warlord. You supply weapons and supplies to both sides to keep the conflict going. The only difference is that the warlord is becoming rich and prosperous in the process. You are, simply, failing to get what you want.You fight the daily battle of declaring your desires to the Universe, then shaking your head and thinking silently, “If only.” 

The Universe is neither judging you, nor deciding which of the two statements is true. You get a little of both and maintain your current situation. A step forward, then a step back.

Occasionally, you get there. You manifest something amazing. You stand there holding in your hands something you had only imagined a short while ago and you say to yourself, “I can’t believe it!”

If someone were to give you a gift, would you say, “Wow! I can’t believe that you could afford this on your salary!” The person giving the gift would probably not see that as appreciation. They would not be motivated to give you any more. 

Gratitude and positive thoughts are the fuel that keeps your manifestation machine running smoothly and efficiently.

When you say you are not grateful for something, either with your words or thoughts,  the Universe is hearing, “I don’t care for that. No more of that, please,” and POOF!  Your wish is granted! There will be no more of what you are requesting.

Cultivate a habit of gratitude daily. Eliminate the phrase, “I can’t believe it!” from your vocabulary. Replace it with, “I’m amazed that…” or “I’m so grateful that….”  In fact, you can make up a list of words and phrases to replace, “I can’t believe.” 

When you make gratitude a habit, miracles will soon become a habit. This is not wishful thinking, it is inevitable. “Amazing” is your birthright. Own it. ~Silas

You've Got the Manifesting Blues

If you are struggling with your manifestations, it would probably trouble you to hear, that the Divine provides you with everything that you ask for.

Before you begin to swear, let us explain. 

The Divine is always standing ready to grant your requests. All of them, without fail. It is you who actually deny them.

Sometimes your focus may not be strong enough. You don't want the "thing" that badly. 

Sometimes, your ego convinces you that you want things that you cannot handle or would bring you more grief.

Your soul knows what you need in this life.  Surprisingly, your soul's needs are few, but as this life is meant to be fun, you are granted certain luxuries.
 
If something is truly not good for you, you will have trouble focusing on it. You will feel doubt and fear. You will hesitate. If you continue, you will get it, but it might not be what you want.

No, we are not playing psychological games with you. You play them with yourself. We often wonder why, but find it amusing to watch, unless you hurt yourself.

There is no difference between that which you must do in this life and that which you desire. You will always be granted the time, talents and resources to accomplish your life's purpose. 

If you want to know what you truly desire, then follow your passion. Play chase with it. Dance with it. Get to know and love it. Then bring it to life. You already have all that you need to accomplish this.

Do not work so hard on your manifestation attempts, work instead on your passion. That will lead you where you need to go.

And that is where you will find all that you are seeking now. ~Silas

Believe in Your Magic

So, you believe that there is no magic in the world, and yet here you sit.  

What do you believe are the odds of all of the energy that formed the atoms that make up the cells and organs in your body would randomly come together to form the person who it sitting in a chair now reading these words.

The odds of the Earth forming and placing itself at the perfect distance from the sun to allow the formation of life are incalculable.

You are a miracle. Every breath you take is pure magic.

Why then do you feel that you cannot affect magical change in the world around you?

As the walking miracle you are, your intentions and actions have great power.

Use that power with love and responsibility. When you wave your wand, you will get what you ask for. 

Do not allow random thoughts to dilute and hijack your magic. 

Imagine that you are sitting, wand in hand, working at your computer and sipping coffee.

As you think about what is on your computer screen, you wave your wand.

Suddenly, the room is filled with items you did not request. Things that were advertised on the side bar, negative energy from arguments and stressful things you have read; things you were trying very hard NOT to create.

That is how very powerful you are! 

So use your magic. Focus on what you want. Wave your wand via meditation, visualization, affirmations, vision boards or ceremonies. 

You are a walking miracle. You defied all odds to get here. You sit here due to countless synchronicities, that have guided your life so far.

You are not here to hide your light and be weak. You are powerful beyond your ability to imagine.

Pick up your wand and get to work. The Earth needs your magic. ~Silas
