Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth

Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth: Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth › Dr. Linda Gadbois: Spiritual Sciences - Mentoring for Personal Transformation

 I spent years of my life trying to figure out why I was born into the situation I was in, and when I was young, I felt like I was being punished for something that I didn't do. But as I grew through my life experiences, I began to realize that it was through difficulties, challenges, and tragedies that I grew the most as a person, and through that realization, I began to embrace challenges rather than dreading and resisting them . . .

Changing Your Vibration Through the Law of Polarity and Cultivating the Art of Attention

Changing Your Vibration Through the Law of Polarity and Cultivating the Art of Attention
The term "vibration" is an abstract term when it comes to understanding the nature of our own mind and will, yet, in the most basic sense, it's produced by our own mind in terms of how we use our will to direct our attention. The very act of giving our attention to something transforms it energetically to conform to our mental model, and serves to determine our state of mind in relation with it. We can change both our inner and outer world, which are correspondences of each other, by learning how to intentionally choose what we pay attention to and focus on, and regulate our vibratory frequency as a result . . .

Self-Mastery: Metamorphosis, Self-Creation, and the Art of Becoming

Self-Mastery: Metamorphosis, Self-Creation, and the Art of Becoming

  The true meaning of what we call self-mastery is our ability to master our own nature and resume conscious control over our higher capacities for creating ourselves. The fact is we’re always in the process of creating ourselves in every moment based on what we enter into relationship with, blend with energetically, and become like in nature. The mind, like the body, is comprised of vibrating essence that’s undergoing a constant process of metamorphosis by exchanging subtle energy with everything around it. The mind is a combination of both spirit and matter, and while it coagulates into temporary forms and becomes somewhat fixed and habitual in nature, it still remains in a constant flux and flow within the same fixed patterns and tendencies. The mind is what constitutes the inner nature and essence of form, and is what gives it its character and personality that determines how it functions and behaves, and what type of stories it naturally participates in . . .

Our First Birth – How We Become a Product of Our Conditioning

Our First Birth – How We Become a Product of Our Conditioning: Our First Birth – How We Become a Product of Our Conditioning › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

We all have what we call "2 births", the first is where we become who we are through our formative conditioning, and the 2nd comes when we become adults and have the ability to take control of our own development, and overcome the issues engrained in us through our conditioning . . .

A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul

A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul: A New Way for Understanding the True Nature of Your Mind and Soul › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

It’s interesting to notice how modern science and psychology are acting to steer us away from our own true spiritual nature by attempting to equate our mind with our brain and body, and our memories as something stored in the brain, while debunking the idea of the soul as being real. They’re simultaneously gearing us up for the idea of merging our personal consciousness with a computer (the singularity) as a way of supposedly achieving immortality. Yet we already possess immortality through the very nature of our mind and soul. We’re being systematically taught to think of our self as our physical body and personality rather than our soul and consciousness, which promotes the natural assumption that when our body dies, we, as an individual, will also die and cease to exist. Yet nothing could be further from the truth . . .

The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness

The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness: The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

The idea that life on Earth is a school for the soul that’s designed to teach us in some way can seem a bit confusing to many because we often associate this idea with our pain and suffering brought on by the constant challenges that cause us to struggle in life. Sometimes our life can almost seem like a bad joke that can cause us to lose faith in ourselves, or we feel as if we’re being punished somehow for something that we’re not even quite sure of. But if we learn how to work with our own mind to change our perspective and form new realizations around our soul’s essence and purpose in life we can begin seeing all things as an opportunity for growth instead of . . .

How to Release and Erase Memories of People and Events

How to Release and Erase Memories of People and Events: How to Release and Erase Memories of People and Events › Dr. Linda Gadbois › https://drlindagadbois.com/how-to-release-and-erase-memories-of-people-and-events/

Memories are something that only exist in our mind as a mental construct that we make and then replay over and over due to the intense emotion associated with them. All of what becomes actual memory that we can vividly recollect in emotional detail years later comes from significant emotional events (SEE) that had a powerful impact on us in some way. These events and the memories we formed of them served to change us in the most fundamental sense, and as we continued to live out of them, they served to shape our identity and who we became because of them . . .

Becoming More Self-Aware

Becoming More Self-Aware: Becoming More Self-Aware › Dr. Linda Gadbois › https://drlindagadbois.com/becoming-more-self-aware/ › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

One of the greatest challenges we have in life in terms of being able to facilitate our own growth and development, comes in being "aware" of ourselves, in terms of how we're feeling, what internal processes are always being set in motion by how we're stimulated by others and our environment, and as the story we're always in the process of telling ourselves that makes everything mean what it does. We tend to always be focused on others rather than paying attention to what's happening inside of us in relations to others . . . .

The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness: The Path of Self-Mastery and the Process of Transformation to a Higher Level of Consciousness › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

So many people spend their entire life focused on other people while being controlled by others through their own emotional reactions, often feeling as though life is happening to them beyond their ability to control or direct it, yet if you step back and observe your life from a detached perspective, you'll realize that you're the one who's always creating how you experience things. It's not what happens to you that matters in the most basic sense, but how you respond to what happens, or use it as the means for developing yourself to a higher level of self-mastery . . .

How Karma Provides Us with the Basis for Learning Life Lessons, Healing, and Self-Administering Our own Spiritual Evolution

How Karma Provides Us with the Basis for Learning Life Lessons, Healing, and Self-Administering Our own Spiritual Evolution: How Karma Provides Us with the Basis for Learning Life Lessons, Healing, and Self-Administering Our own Spiritual Evolution › Dr. Linda Gadbois

 While the Law of Karma can be interpreted several ways, based on who’s interpreting it and their level of spiritual knowledge regarding the universal laws that all life faithfully operates according to, the most basic way of looking at it in the practical sense is as the Law of Cause and Effect. Every action, no matter how great or small, produces an equal or greater reaction as a direct correspondence. All activity forms an energetic discharge which flows in a circular current, and always returns to the place it originated. This means the effect produced is of a similar nature and idea as what caused it. You can determine the cause of something by studying the effect it served to produce, because they’re always of the same nature. All life functions through rudimentary patterns that are whole ideas. An action of any kind is a form of expression that sets a whole pattern in motion, where whatever we “put out”, either immediately or eventually returns to us, where we experience it as “happening to us” by another or through a set of what appears to be natural circumstances

Realizing Your True Self and Embodying Your Power to Consciously Create Yourself

Realizing Your True Self and Embodying Your Power to Consciously Create Yourself: Realizing Your True Self and Embodying Your Power to Consciously Create Yourself › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

The process of personal transformation (Alchemy) as a form of spiritual regeneration comes as a process that has two basic stages. The first stage is what’s often referred to as our psychological healing, where we shed our false ego built through our formative conditioning, and the second comes by learning how to employ the principles necessary for developing our self to a higher level of self-awareness and creativity. The first stage is necessary as a means of laying the proper foundation for creating ourselves through our ability to develop our true character from a fully conscious and self-aware state . . .

Moral Strength – The Power of Being Willfully Directed

Moral Strength – The Power of Being Willfully Directed: Moral Strength – The Power of Being Willfully Directed › Dr. Linda Gadbois › https://drlindagadbois.com/moral-strength-the-power-of-being-willfully-directed/

One of the most basic things we lack nowadays, and that's being intentionally taught-out of people. We have a tendency to glorify weakness, cater to mindless sensitivity and sentiment, and fail to recognize the spiritual power and significance of our own conscience and morality . . .

Recognizing how You’re Programming Yourself to Create and Maintain the Life You’re Living

Recognizing how You’re Programming Yourself to Create and Maintain the Life You’re Living: Recognizing how You’re Programming Yourself to Create and Maintain the Life You’re Living › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

I think one of the greatest lies that we've been taught is that we're not powerful in our own life. Very few people realize the power of their own thoughts and emotions in shaping their life experiences, or the fact that as they "think and emote", they're actually using one part of their mind to program another part on what to create as an experience . . . .

Humility, Shedding the False Ego, and the True Path of Liberation

Humility, Shedding the False Ego, and the True Path of Liberation: Humility, Shedding the False Ego, and the True Path of Liberation › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

The reason most people never undergo the process of true transformation, is because it's extremely difficult and serves to change you in every way there is to be changed. Not as trying to achieve some goal you've set, or by focusing on an intention you've set for yourself in creating, which is how it's commonly portrayed, but in terms of forcing you to face and resolve every delusion you're built around yourself and the meaning of life. I'm writing about this, not from theory or a text book perspective, but from having gone through it myself and conveying what the experience was like . . .

How to Become Aware of Yourself through Your Reaction to Everything Else

How to Become Aware of Yourself through Your Reaction to Everything Else: How to Become Aware of Yourself through Your Reaction to Everything Else › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings

The outer world and everyone in it is formed as a reflection of our own inner nature, and anytime we're triggered into a reaction of some kind, it directly correlates to a hidden part of our own psyche, called our 'shadow self', which is formed out of our repressed nature. This is natures way of allowing us to 'see into' the hidden aspects of our own psyche so we can bring them into the light of awareness and begin working to transform them using our higher power of realization, choice, and will . . .

Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth

Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth: Seeing Challenges as Opportunities for Personal Growth › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings › Dr. Linda Gadbois

It can be difficult to really grasp how challenging situations, tragedies, and extreme hardships actually provide us with the basis for spiritual growth, but they're the only things that do. Many people think your "spiritual work" is separate from your daily life, when in fact, your daily is what provides you with the perfect means for growing yourself in new ways. We only "grow" when we're forced out of our comfort zone, where we're pushed to the end of our rope and are left not knowing where to go or what to do! I've had a very challenging life and it has provided me with the means for becoming who I am today, and this article is written from my experiences and how it was I used them to develop myself to a higher and more competent level of self-mastery . . .

Exploring the Nature of Dreams – Lucid Dreaming, Higher Forms of Intuition, and the True Nature of Reality as a Mental Projection

Exploring the Nature of Dreams – Lucid Dreaming, Higher Forms of Intuition, and the True Nature of Reality as a Mental Projection: Exploring the Nature of Dreams – Lucid Dreaming, Higher Forms of Intuition, and the True Nature of Reality as a Mental Projection › Dr. Linda Gadbois

One of the ways we can gain a greater understanding of how our "mind projects our reality" is to explore the nature of 'dreaming'. Not just in the sense of nighttime dreams, which is a function of our subconscious mind, but also in terms of what's called 'lucid dreaming', which is where your conscious mind becomes aware within your dream and begins directing how it transpires and unfolds. Once we can gain a better understanding of 'how dreams are produced' by our mind, we can apply that knowledge to our waking life and come to understand how it is we're all 'projecting' our own experience of reality . . . .

We Only Cultivate Spiritual Powers through Live Experiences

We Only Cultivate Spiritual Powers through Live Experiences: We Only Cultivate Spiritual Powers through Live Experiences › Dr. Linda Gadbois › https://drlindagadbois.com/we-only-cultivate-spiritual-powers-through-live-experiences/

I've always found it strange how some people see their "spiritual work" as something they do independently of their daily life, as a special form of exercise, practice, or ritual, when, if we look closer at the true nature of reality, we can realize that we only ever "develop ourselves" by embodying new traits when we're in a live situation and pressed against the wall or forced out of our comfort zone. Spiritual development is exercised by how we respond to whatever is happening around us and is acting to stimulate different parts of our character into and active state of expression. We only truly "learn" by doing . . . .

How we Create Ourselves through our Life Experiences

How we Create Ourselves through our Life Experiences: How we Create Ourselves through our Life Experiences › Dr. Linda Gadbois › Spiritual Sciences - Mystery School Teachings ›

Some people find it difficult to understand how it is that in every moment, through every thought and natural or deliberate decision, we're acting to form our own reality, out of which we also form how we "experience" that reality by what we tell ourselves about it, while simultaneously shaping "ourselves" in relation with our own self-produced mental field. The "self", which is something "we create" through purely mental means, isn't our body and personality, it's the entire outer world which serves as the basis for "experiencing ourselves through our own mental projection". We're both the inner (body) and outer (reality in which the body lives) at the same time . . . we're the one creating, or should I say "co-creating" all of it . . .
