Vibrational Elevation
I believe that we must elevate our vibration to the highest material world level before consciously ascending upward into the spiritual world. This means that we need to overcome unresolved core personality issues, their defenses, and their habituated thoughts, words, and actions. It means that we must overcome the bondage of physical and mental illness through non-resistance, non-judgement, and non-attachment. It means that we must recognize and rise above the human ego and its distractions. (Ego stops intelligence from perceiving the truth and instead imposes its own opinion as truth.) It means that, regardless of the hand life has dealt us, we need to reach a sustainable state of happiness. When we have done so at the highest material world level, then we can consciously enter the higher spiritual places.
We have all probably stumbled upon them during crises, peak emotional moments, or while meditating. Such spontaneous occurrences are relatively random, we may not be consciously aware of what is actually happening, and they are temporary. We want to create the conditions within which we can consciously and intentionally enter the higher vibrational frequencies of love, joy, and peace; and ultimately truth; and remain there unceasingly.
Following is a system for attaining the highest material world vibration. It is excerpted from “Seven Colors of Happiness” as published in Alternative Medicine magazine (Jan-Feb 2014 Issue). It is also the inspiration for the Alternative Shrink site design.
If you want to be happier, please choose one of the following methods based on your current life circumstances, practice it daily, and realize its benefits. When things change, you may want to switch to the color that best fits your new situation. These prescriptions will help make you happier in the absence of unresolved core personality issues and their accompanying defenses. For those with such issues and defenses, therapy or spiritual teaching may be indicated.

Everything you love about your life, you can give yourself a pat on the back and a hug for, everything you don’t love, give yourself a little forgiveness and a pat on the back for being such a good creator anyway. The hardest part of conscious creation is that you don’t have the luxury of blaming your problems on “the other guy.
