Q. Hollywood Sentinel – Bruce Edwin:
Haha, I like that title, that’s great. And I want to read
those axioms. When one is attempting to manifest, and draw things
into one’s life, using perhaps the unconscious mind, or
directly things consciously, in going back to the aspect of
different forms of spiritually, how does someone know if that is
something that is or is not going against someone else’s
will?
A. Terry Cole Whittaker: Well, O.K., There is
this thing called cause and effect as we’ve said, and some
people call it “as you sow, so shall you reap,” and
another word is called karma. And karma is about activities. And
karma is the result of our activities. So you have to look at
your intention, before you do anything. For instance,
what’s your intention before you speak to someone? And most
people don’t think about it, because they’re just
operating on automatic. It’s like, I was just talking with
somebody yesterday and she’s got all these troubles and
problems, and she kept saying to me. “I can’t believe
all of this happened to me. Why did it happen?” And when I
would tell her that “really it’s your karma,”
she got really mad and angry, because she said, “I pray all
the time, and I do all this and I do all…” And I
said, “Well yeah,” but she didn’t want to
learn. And so she’s angry at God, she’s angry at
what’s going on in her life, and she’s frustrated,
and you know, I can understand that, but that’s not going
to help her you know? And the first thing I said was, “Well
the thing is, you weren’t paying attention to what was
going in the world and your life,” and everything in the
outer world is changing all the time. It’s not ever going
to be the way it was. Maybe in a few million years, because
everything in the Universe runs like a machine, and so any way,
what you do is, most of us are unconscious about our actions, or
even our words(…)
(…) So when someone eats a cow for example, they were
taught that you’re supposed to do that, they never took the
time to actually find out how the body functions, and what their
purpose in life is, and they’re not taught that in school,
or even in church, or religion. So what I did, is I started
looking at the effects. What’s happening in your
relationships? What’s happening in your career?
What’s happening in the world? There has to be a cause. Now
the cause isn’t an effect. Now this is maybe a little hard
to get, like this one person I was talking to, she said
“The reason I’m upset is because of the conditions in
my life.” And I said to her, “Why are you letting the
conditions of your life make you miserable?” And she said,
“Well, I can’t help it.” I said “Really?
Where is your misery happening?” It’s happening in
her mind. And it’s happening in her emotions, which then
control her actions. And so what happens is people are caught in
this reoccurring condition and keep trying to look for solutions
to be happy, when they are happiness. You can’t get
happiness. You are either your ‘self’ or you’re
not. So that’s what I’m saying is, if how you know
what you are going to do is going to be right, or wrong, first of
all, you also feel it in your intuition, so when we feel a little
strange about something, or something doesn’t quite feel
right, there is something not right about it. I know for me, when
I have gotten trouble in my past, I can go back, and you want to
go back and look at the past and see the cause and effect
relationship as a teaching tool. So then, when I got myself in
trouble, my conscious, my inner guidance would tell me not to do
that, but I over rode it and when ahead and did it myself, any
way, and then you pay later, right?
Bruce Edwin: Definitely. I’ve done that
too many times.
A. Terry Cole Whittaker: Too many times, right,
so when are we going to learn that the key is to really start
trusting that, plus you have to really learn- like when I was
studying (…) this great knowledge, we begin to really
understand who we are, how we function, and what we’re
supposed to be doing here. If a person doesn’t know their
purpose in life, and they don’t know who they are, how do
you even know what to do? Because they don’t know why
they’re doing it! Other than “Well I think
it’ll make me happy,” or, “I’m
gonna’ get me some money; If I get me some money then
I’ll be happy, and then I can get a woman, or I can get a
guy, or if I sell this then I can get this thing, and if I enjoy
this thing then I can have a lot to drink, and then I can go on a
vacation and I can lose it all in Las Vegas for a couple bucks.
Cool!” Where did you learn that? And they’re
suffering.
I don’t know if you’ve ever been on an airplane to
Vegas. They’re all happy. But on the way back,
they’re just morose!
Bruce Edwin: (laughs) That’s
hilarious!
Terry Cole Whittaker: Yeah! And so most people
don’t ever question it or ask why, or look to see,
what’s going on?! So that’s the key, you have to look
at before you act, before you speak, you’ve got to think,
well what is the result of this? (…)
