CONTENTS
On the surface, an ExtraOrdinary life may appear to be quite similar to an ordinary life. In each, we work at jobs to earn money to pay bills to secure items for our survival and comfort. We develop relationships with neighbors, friends, and family.
There is a significant quality to an ExtraOrdinary life that distinguishes it from an ordinary one, and that is aliveness. You live from the inside out, leading with your Innermost Self. Your body, mind, and feelings are in the direct service of your soul; in your soul-led life, you constantly reflect the Divine lightyou are aligned heart, mind, and will. Consequently, the bumps and bruises of life are not stifling or nearly as dramatic.
When you are living an ExtraOrdinary life, your intention is to always seek to find the light in others and in life. Committed to recognizing, identifying, and validating the light in every aspect of humanity, you enjoy immunity from the impact of negativity.This is not to say that you never encounter or experience the difficultbut rather that it doesnt stop you from finding the good, even in lifes most terrible situations. You are inspired to perform great acts of kindness and generosity.
A deceptively simple strategy, revealed to me through my work in the Akashic Records, becomes our protocol for making this significant shift from an ordinary to an ExtraOrdinary life, as laid out in this book. The Records can be understood as the Cosmic Chronicles of You: an energetic archive, a dimension of consciousness, that tells the story of your souls journey through space and time as a human being. More than that, the Akashic Records contain an experiential body of wisdom that comprises everything that every soul has ever thought, said, and done over the course of its existence, as well as all its future possibilities. They are formed of energy and exist simultaneously within us as people, and beyond the material world in a vibrational dimension.
The Records serve as an infinite spiritual resource for personal growth and empowerment. The strategy that I mention above emerges from this profoundly loving dimensionit can be used by anyone, anywhere, but is particularly potent within the Records. It consists of awareness, acceptance, appreciation, and appropriate action.
This is the four-step protocol that we will employ at each topic we address, to facilitate our desired shift in consciousness. A more detailed explanation of this process for use in personal healing can be found in my book Healing Through the Akashic Records:Using the Power of Your Sacred Wounds to Discover Your Souls Perfection. For our objectives with this exploration, I offer you this streamlined explanation, which will be more than sufficient for your success.
- Awareness is the keywe strive to become aware of what is transpiring, as well as our natural human responses.
- Next, we aim for Acceptance of what is, without modification or judgment. This means we acknowledge and allow everything and everyone (including ourselves) to be exactly as is in any given moment. We describe, rather than evaluate, our observations; this is significantly more powerful than passing judgment, because we dont weigh down what we observe with any subjective meaning.
- Acceptance is followed by Appreciation, which is founded in recognizing and understanding the positive value of our choices that brought us to this place in our lives. It involves a measure of comprehending our prior selections as befitting at the time they were made.
- Finally, we arrive at Appropriate Action, the stage at which we seek to take action expressing our Innermost Self in the best way possible.
This process engages inner and outer aspects of transformation, both of which are required to make sustainable change. This protocol can be applied to nearly every situation we encounter, and it enables us to start walking the path of an ExtraOrdinary life.
Our stated quest in the subtitle of this book is to make this shift from ordinary to ExtraOrdinary living, which sets us each upon our souls path. Together, we will travel this well-defined journey, one segment at a time, examining five Akashic concepts that function as a wholeas a single beam of light, if you will: Incarnation, Authority, Discipline, Responsibility, and
