Awareness

Self-Love

Self-Love is an important part of your spiritual evolution. This is the basis of your essence. Without self-love nothing in your world will work. Everything you are is based from this one expression. All your thoughts, feelings, perceptions, and actions come from self-love…..or the lack thereof!

Self-love feeds your energy and enlivens your spirit. This is a love of a spiritual nature that was created by Source to inspire and create within the world that was created for you. This love encompasses all parts of yourself, internal and external. As you care for your body you are caring for your spirit, for without the body your evolution on Gaia would cease. This is a heartfelt expression of your spiritual self. It involves seeing the good within and expressing virtuous actions toward yourself.

This love of yourself does not relate to the ego as this action of loving yourself is not admiration of the ego. You cannot love others without loving yourself first! The ‘you’ someone falls in love with, is the ‘you’ that you love first. If the love you have for yourself is superficial, then that is what someone else will love too. This would be the egoistic part of you expressing love for itself. This love arises in the mind (lower) and showers itself with materialism. This love is merely illusionary at best and hurtful at worst. It does not have any satisfaction and needs to be ‘replenished’ constantly. This is not self-love.

When you follow the thoughts of your higher mind, your expression comes from the heart. This is the love that you express back to Source. These acts of love are prayers of essence that combine with others to create an energy that reacts with Source energy. This loving energy seemingly reflects back to you, when in reality it IS you. When you give the love to others that you have for yourself, it comes back to you from all those you interact with. This then activates that part of you that is connected directly with Source and fills your life with all good things. This is experienced by internal peace, good health, happiness, and love. Love is our natural state of being. It is where we came from, where we are, and where we are going back to. Love yourself first, then you can experience the love that is around you! ♥

Virtues, Higher mind, lower mind

What are virtues? What bearing do they have in your life? What if any, role do they play? Are they important?

Virtues are prevalent with the alignment of your being with your higher mind. Virtues are the identifying factors of your inner self and the outward manifestation of the same. There are seven primary virtues of the spiritually balanced person. Those are: Tolerance, Patience, Forgiveness, Understanding, Compassion, Humility, and Valor. These are whole being virtues that are lived and practiced as part of who you are. These virtues can only be lived if the mind is in concert with the heart.

We have talked a lot about the ego in past blogs. The ego is not in alignment with these virtues. The ego expresses itself from the lower mind in the way of thoughts. Not all thoughts are ego based, but they are the loudest! There are two levels of mind; higher mind and lower mind. The ego expresses itself using the lower mind. This is the part of the mind that is mundane and automatic. It is the mind that ‘chatters’ all the time. It is also the mind where repetitive thoughts are generated. This lower mind is the generator of thoughts that keep you in crisis, chaos, and conflict to control you.

The higher mind is directly connected to the heart and your higher self. The higher mind exists behind the chatter. This is where the thoughts related to the seven virtues and the expression of your highest self are generated. The higher mind generates the ‘second thoughts’. These are the thoughts that are loving, kind, and courageous. These are thoughts that lead you to your highest good and that of everyone else. Aligning yourself with your higher mind will open you to new vistas of conscious awareness and perceptions. Once you practice recognition and focus upon identifying the higher mind from the lower mind, you will tune out the lower mind and ‘hear’ only the higher mind. This will lead to your true happiness and synchronicity with the world as it is meant to be. The more individuals that ‘sync up’ with the goodness and light of the world by working with the higher mind, the more your world will thrive and prevail. You are here to have a better world. That starts with each person finding their center and tuning into higher mind and the heart.

Our perceptions create the world we live in, and only those that match our perceptions can live in our world. If your perceptions are aligned with spiritual virtues and higher mind thinking, what would your world look like? It is there for you. Be Well, Be Love ♥

Within/Without

The conscious, energetic response to all within your world will draw the experiences to you that offer the greatest challenge and opportunities to evolve. There are no accidents or mistakes, as everything is on purpose for your growth and expansion.

Your Higher Self works in alignment with your being to connect with the seat of your soul within, and pull to you what you need to learn, heal, and awaken within your life for personal and spiritual evolution. This being the case, your conscious recognition and reaction to everything and everyone in your world is imperative to your succession!
The internal response you have to things will at times not be in alignment with the thoughts you have about the situation. This may create a conflict within that could complicate the issue. Which one will you listen to? When you get to the point that this happens frequently, you are awakening your heart and allowing alignment with your Higher Self. This leads to the evolution of your being and the awakening of your soul connection, creating spiritual accession.

You are all connected to the Source of your Being, and the conscious awakening to this connection raises your frequency and vibration drawing greater forms of expression within and without. There is no greater form of love than the understanding that you hold within yourselves to the purpose and plan of your life. Your reason for being equates and connects the dots to all that has happened and is happening in your lives. There is no greater place to find answers than understanding the patterns and associations happening within and without. There you will find the connections to all the facets of your life and the effect it all has on your plan and purpose.
The expression of your heart is apparent when you take a conscious look at your life. The conscious actions and reactions to the events and people within your world creates opportunities for growth and expansion on a personal level and emits vibrations of equal import. This then in turn assists others, and draws like experiences and higher frequencial opportunity for spiritual advancement.

You are in this world but not of it. Your happiness and evolutionary gain does not lie in the 3 D expression of the illusion this world creates. When you know that everything you do and every thought you have affects all things, and you accept the responsibility for your expressions within and without, you will find the happiness and peace you yearn for and be the carrier of change. This is the time to understand your purpose and live it to the greatest expression of who you are. This then will define your world and those within it. This is the true meaning of as within, so without. Be well, Be love ♥

Love and Fear

March 1, 2015

The choice is yours. The choice has always been yours. To live in love or to live in fear.

The first thoughts you have are fearful thoughts. Further contemplation will either exaggerate the fear or reveal the contrasting thought, which is loving. Your awareness of the feelings your thoughts generate guides you to choose which thoughts you support; fear or love. We have been taught to judge, so we judge our thoughts as good or bad, right or wrong. They are neither! It is up to you as to what you want to believe.

Fearful thoughts are generated by the well trained and well supported ego. Loving thoughts are mostly foreign to us. We are not taught how to have loving thoughts, and they are not supported. What is a loving thought? Yes, it is the opposite of fear, but what is it exactly? A loving thought is that which unites, allows, and invites acceptance. A loving thought does not incite resistance, crisis, chaos, or conflict. The ego wants to fight, it wants to separate, and find something wrong. Why is fear so much easier? Because the ego has been ‘wired’ to react first, and it wants to divide and conquer. Everything in our world supports the ego. More, different, and better are everywhere! Striving, not thriving is commonplace. We are not satisfied because everything we hear and read says we aren’t. The world creates fear. How do we turn this around?

A good first step is to choose the loving thought, be it about yourself or others. This is the thought that lacks judgment. It is a more neutral thought. It is the thought that does not feel like it needs to be justified in some way. There is no rhetoric with loving thoughts. Most of all loving thoughts are peaceful. Loving thoughts feel right and good. These thoughts raise your awareness and create contemplation that leads to a higher vibration that draws love to you.

There are all kinds of reasons to live in fear. It is not easy to live in a loving way when struggling. This is when gratitude and appreciation are important to focus upon. You will always find something to be thankful for or appreciate in your life. Taking time each morning to identify those things that are truly important and incite gratitude, will set the tone for your day, your life. This will raise your vibration and draw goodness to you. Choosing this for yourself takes conscious awareness of your thoughts and is ongoing work. Falling into fear is easy as the ego lies in wait for weakness. Practicing love will eventually lead to an expansion of your being that will move you past the ego, and when fear does arise it will feel very foreign to you. With fear now easily identifiable, you will be able to convert it to love quickly and easily. This is the way of the new and peaceful life you desire. With love you can change your world! Practice, and set yourself free. Be well, Be love ♥

Spiritual Evolution

February 22, 2015

Spiritual connection within is expanding to open you to new universal vistas of knowledge, experience, and alignment.

When clarity is achieved through healing and cleansing, there is more that can be accessed to enhance your evolution.  This is not something that you think, but rather something that you feel.  The evolution of your spiritual self does not permeate your consciousness alone, it affects all levels through your chakra system (which are your energy centers) and your etheric being.  Spiritual Evolution is something that you ask for, as it does not happen automatically.  This is a process beyond all others that requires conscious connection to all aspects of your being. Spiritual Evolution is achieved through your ability to absorb and maintain light and is guided by your higher self.

The conscious part of your evolution is achieved by your ability to maintain balance and focus through intention. This is primary to your process as all the dimensions of your being need to be in alignment with your intention. Evolution, primarily spiritual evolution, is guided by your intention and desire. Nothing happens without your permission, as this is a free will universe. Seeking to understand the different dimensions of your being and how they correlate with each other, is where the next stage begins after clearing and healing have taken place.  There will be an expansion of your being when you have asked with clear intention for further enlightenment.

You’re inner, outer, and Higher Self (supra consciousness) are the three dimensions of your physical being. There cannot be congruence without intention and conscious connection.  Finding your center, and setting your intention [to evolve] by maintaining clarity, focus, and balance will further enhance your evolution and connection with all the dimensions of your being. This energy signature (your intention) will attract light to assist you with your request. Once this happens, your frequency and vibration will align with the light, and on a conscious level new information and understanding will flow to you.  In addition, you will be drawn to people, circumstances, and experiences that will emulate your evolutionary process.  At the same time you will attract opportunity, experiences, and knowledge that will enhance your process exponentially. Nothing happens by accident. You are the creator of your expansion, intentionally or not. This is a place of miracles and higher understanding.  If you truly want this for yourself, you shall have it!   Be well, Be love ♥

Heart/Mind

February 16, 2015

There is much to say about the complexities of the mind and the activation of the heart to establish the heart/mind connection. This connection bypasses the ego, as the heart is not connected to the ego and never has been. The heart generates its own ‘thoughts’ as it has true intelligence without the conflicts that the mind conjures. The ego operates through the mind. This is why your spiritual evolution is linked to the activation of the heart.

The virtues of forgiveness, gratitude, appreciation, understanding, tolerance, patience, compassion, and valor all reside within the heart. The mind is a computer that reasons and makes factual decisions. It is also the seat of your fear, anger, depression, and judgment. This is why decisions made solely with the mind don’t often work out. When the heart and the mind are conjoined, the decisions that you make are made with the intelligence of the mind and the virtues of the heart. The heart filters out the ego as it does not recognize it. The mind does not want the heart involved in its decisions, and will fight for its control. That is why quick decisions are empty.

The world is made of glass. It can be shattered at any moment. Decisions made solely from the mind do not reinforce your life which resides behind the glass, which is your true self. Life is not meant to be lived in support of the illusion that has been created for you and upheld by you. The true things in life that matter are not accessed by the mind. Those things are accessed through the heart, where true lasting happiness resides!

Where does the intelligence of the heart come from? Within the heart lies the connection to your higher self and that of Universal Consciousness. This is why the heart has the ability to guide you and show you the truth in any situation. Lasting connection with the heart requires intention that is reinforced daily. When you learn through intention and practice to connect your mind [thoughts] with your heart, you will live a happier and more peaceful life. This way of living shatters the illusion and brings you information that leads you to the truth of your being and the world. When you find this place of authenticity and grace, you will have all that you desire. Nothing will be withheld from you and you will gift this energy to others, who will see this peace and understanding within you and want it for themselves. If you do nothing else in the world but this, you will have created a ripple that will affect many and it all started with you. You are a force of good in the world. Believe and conceive a better life for yourself. Be well, Be love ♥

Unity

As your evolution continues to a more heart centered feeling based existence, you are finding your life changing more with each day!  You should be experiencing these changes more and more if you are feeling more than thinking your way through each moment of your ‘now’s’.   The realization of two forms of reactions to things in your world should be apparent to you as you find yourself recognizing your auto responses and your higher self-realizations.  Which are you choosing?  Do you even know what I am talking about?

The realization of the two parts of yourself should be more evident now as the truth of separation is coming about. One feels good, and one does not. One is who you have been, and one is not.  One feels stronger, and the other weaker.  One holds truth in it, and the other supports illusion.  If you have to work hard on forgiveness, compassion, understanding, tolerance, humility, and valor and really don’t understand why, you are supporting the illusion.  This does not mean you are doing that on purpose, it just means you are not recognizing the trueness of your being.

Trying hard and feeling you need to ‘practice’ these things only supports the illusion. Taking time to recognize that you have two different reactions to situations and people is paramount to your awakening.  Some may say that they don’t have two different reactions or thoughts.  To them I say this; you are blocking the love in your being from actualizing because of the amount of fear you have about acceptance and faith.  You may think you love someone. Have you asked yourself what your agenda is for that love?  Is your love secular or all encompassing?  Do you think you love them?  Do you feel they would be all you need if you had nothing?

So many do not know that they are in fear rather than in love.  The first reaction is always that of fear rather than love. We are programmed to live our lives in fear and this is reinforced daily from our world.  Would you believe that there is another world you are missing?  That is the one behind the illusion.  It is the one of love when you trust yourself to believe in the good of the world without having to protect yourself from it.  When you step into this power you change yourself and those within your realm.  This does not mean that you relent to everything and everyone.  Quite the opposite.  Love is more powerful than fear.  It has the frequency of change and transformation within it.  But it cannot be the act of doing something loving, laced with fear.  It must be of loving intention, which creates the vibration powerful enough to create change.

The love I speak of does not create fear, it creates unity. It does not leave anyone out.  It is good for all concerned, not just one party.  You feel it within as a force of truth.  The mind, however will tell you something different.  It will find all kinds of things wrong with what you are thinking, feeling, and doing with loving intention.  That is one way to know you are being authentic and genuine!  You are working against the grain of the ego.  Resistance is the most powerful reaction of the ego.  That is why it feels so strong and right.  Love surrenders, ego resists.

If you have created a situation through a loving action, where unsettling thoughts take control of your mind due to the reaction from another, and this puts you in the looping effect of CCC (see Heart/Mind Connection September 8, 2014), change something.  Let go……read, watch a movie, or call a friend.  Change your state of being, and allow it all to just be.  The love you put forth has an energy and vibration that continues to affect the intended subject or situation.  It transforms all within the event and has a ripple effect.  The ego knows this, and must squelch your power so that you will not continue to act loving and fearless.  That means your power and reality will shift from your ego to your higher state of being, rendering the ego powerless.

This is when you will see all for what it truly is and not with the ‘eyes’ of your programming.  You will activate your authentic self and ‘see with new eyes and hear with new ears’.  This is the path of awakening to the real world that was created for us.  Not the world that we have created.  Open to the possibility that there is another way.  Then, open the door and step into love.  This will ignite your higher state of being and carry you into the truth of your life, and the world around you. This takes courage and faith in what you know to be right within your heart.  Your mind will tell you that this is all crazy talk and you’re bored.  Don’t believe it. Try it out.  Act without fear knowing it is your truth you are listening to, and not someone else s.  Then know, because you have acted with loving intention, that all will be well and you are an agent of change for good.  There will be a peace within, knowing you have exerted truth.

You may not always know the effects of your actions, and this is where faith is important.  No one ever forgets a loving act, even though it didn’t feel like it.  The intention will never die. It is a spark of clarity, a remembrance of time, a gratitude for change.  Know that it starts with you.  You are important.  Not just for your own awakening, but that of all of the world!  Be Well, Be Love ♥

Perception

January 25, 2015

With all that seems to be happening in the world right now, it is most important to take a few pauses during your day to reset yourself and restore balance. Peace of mind and balance within your being is imperative at this time. So much is going on so quickly, and there are some that are having a very hard time; it is you who must be the anchor in such times as these.

A strong connection to your heart and a willingness to see things differently than you have perceived them in the past, brings new countenance to your life. Being open to seeing things differently will open new facets of clarity in your life that weren’t apparent to you before. In addition, this will assist you with cleansing, clearing, and forgiveness which is an ongoing process.

Being able to see things from a different perspective opens the door to new and positive ways of dealing with same situations. This will bypass the ego that wants you to continue warring with yourself and others. If you can find a way to understand that one perspective is not the only viewpoint, you can see truth and innocence. When judgment is softened, your perception clears, and you can see differently. This is the path to oneness.

Allowing others to walk their path without interfering in their process will open new vistas of light to assist and support their lives. This allows others to grow and expand, and is paramount to your process as well. So many feel it is their responsibility to make others see, understand, or do something they feel is best, all in the name of helping someone through their personal wisdom and experience. When you are willing to see things differently, you will understand them and yourself much better.

In seeing things differently, you are allowing a different perspective to arise which sheds new light on the situation for all involved. Too often we carry our perspectives forward to apply to same situations and people, which locks everything into the same chain reaction and response. Sometimes a new perspective simply allows the situation to unfold as it should, even though it may not appear so at the time. This brings new clarity and insight, and allows your perspective to expand and change. How you see and perceive your world creates and energy that is embedded in everyone and everything you focus upon. When you change your perspective by seeing things differently, you change your world. May gratitude and appreciation be yours ♥

Thoughts

January 18, 2015
The purest form of love is awareness. Finding your way into awareness is the key to awakening. This is a consciousness beyond all thoughts. This is knowing that nothing else matters except your connection to cosmic consciousness. Your alignment with the connection to your highest self, reveals truth and genuineness in all things. There is a knowing of this connection that resides within your thoughts when you tune into the feeling of the thought. Is the feeling peaceful or resistant? Does the thought incite love or fear? The most important path is the one you walk with an open heart. The heart cannot be open in the presence of fearful thoughts.

Your thoughts carry agendas. The agendas serve the ego. This is the subterfuge of the ego, to keep you in the world it has created, with the opinions it wants, for its sake and survival. This is not the real world. The real world involves acceptance, love, kindness, understanding, openness, tolerance, and compassion. Without agendas for anyone or anything, including yourself.

Alignment with your higher self is the path to awakening beyond the ego. This path lies in the second thought, not the first thought that you have about something. The first thought is the ego response, the second thought is the truth revealing thought. The immediate reaction is that of the ego. The true self, your highest self, reacts slower with more awareness. Acting with the first thought contains fear, acting with the second thought is love. The egos job is to act quickly to dispel the connection with highest self. This is why the ego has connected feeling to the first thought. It is the feeling that spurs action and belief. This causes more first thoughts and keeps you ‘dancing’ to the egos ‘tune’. Who you are up to this point is created from a lifelong succession of first thoughts. When you dismiss the first thought (initial reaction) and allow the second thought to surface, not only will it feel different but it will lead you in a different direction. This does not mean you must ponder on each situation that arises, but to think past the first thought that arises about the person, situation, or event. Truth and love lie within the second thought you have about the situation.

The world as we know it contains multitudes of information all connected to an agenda. It is the agenda you want to see within the information, and make your choices from there. Programming of these agendas appeals to the ego. The ego is the one that believes these agendas. The higher self being slower to react does not buy in to most things. It is wise to the ways of the agenda. It does not believe everything for face value and looks for the agenda first to determine its reaction. Your highest self only responds to truth. If there is no truth within the situation, it will not give credence to it.

Following this path is a detoxification of your thoughts which will lead to new reactions and beliefs within your being. This will establish a higher sense of knowing and believing. It will increase the awareness of your life and those within it. It will wake you up to new conscious awareness and give you a new sense of clarity and vision.

When you connect with your highest self, you will live in truth and authenticity. This genuine way of being in the world will assist others in finding this within themselves as it carries a specific frequency; the frequency and vibration of love. When you come from love it overcomes and dispels the darkness within others, when you are around them. It will draw those of like vibration to you, and may drive others away. Knowing this will assist you in understanding them and why they are reacting in such a way. Be Well, Be Love ♥

LOOKING BACK ~ MOVING FORWARD

As the year comes to a close you may find yourself looking back at a lifetime of growth and development that has brought you to this point of attainment and awareness. This may feel different from years past as we have crossed the ending of one era and are now at the beginning of the next!
Looking back at your life and the realization of changes and opportunities that have formed who you have become will shed light on where you are today. The letting go of the past will open you to the possibility of the future being more authentic and feeling more empowered, rather than needy and weak. This threshold of empowerment will lead you to the awakening of your being with the energy of the past falling away. This choice to expand upon the goodness of your authentic self will give you a clarity of feeling the new beginning of this year.
Appending areas of your life where healing has occurred will impart your strength of character and open you to a new awareness within your heart to the connection of all things. This gives you the energetic stamina to continue the healing process and creates the strength within your heart to do, think, and feel the energetic quality of the new frequency of being that connects you with the flow of your life.
As this cleansing continues and your frequency of being increases the reaction from the world around you answers the call to rise and feel the love you are emitting. This clarity of being is felt by all around you and it feels as peace within.
Letting go of anything tied to the past life you are releasing will instantly change your energetic field. This systemic release of anything or anyone that no longer serves who you are will create a new world of opportunity and increase, meant to join you with those in the new age of awareness and connection. This is a beginning of an era meant for those of pure intention and consciousness.
With the old of your being falling away, you will feel the sparks of new beginnings within. With the layers of the past rescinding, the ego will recapitulate within attempting to hold its control over your mind. This will feel less intimidating as you continue releasing your past life, as the ego is very invested in what you have become. The ego will not know where it fits in the new paradigm of your life, so it will continue to attempt to draw you back to the past life you are leaving behind. The more resilient you become to the temptation of the ego and your past, the more strength and optimism you will gain. Refining your will and using affirmations beginning with ‘I AM’ will assist you with pressing forward to the new frequency of being you have laid out before you. Reminding yourself that the past is not who you truly are, but who you had become [until now], will assist with the release and strengthen your willingness to continue forward.
Bringing your conscious awareness into the present, and knowing this is where you exist right now, will open your life to new intention and dimensional thinking that will empower you to change your life. All is well in your world and you are the one that will make it so. Be Well, Be Love ♥
