The Now

Things continue to get more interesting!  There is so much distraction, that creating division seems to be the norm.  This keeps you from focusing on what really matters.  It is all designed to pull you from your Center and slow your spiritual growth to stop the evolution of your soul. The good news is that this is Divinely designed to strengthen your internal resolve and challenge you to practice and anchor the heart virtues to further manifest who you really are; which is a powerful spiritual being. This is what these times are for!

Tolerance, gratitude, and compassion are key expressions for the current time. Knowing that you can make a difference, while working within the virtues, is key to your personal evolution. There may be many things that are happening now that you may not be able to do anything about, yet being centered and balanced within your heart at all times will assist more than you know!  This is the strength of love that is needed now to assist others in their processes. It is not an easy task, but it is the greatest act of love one can put forth!

One thing to remember above all else is that there are no accidents or mistakes, and everything is designed for spiritual growth and refinement. It isn’t as complicated as it seems; our minds and egos make it seem so. Find that place of peace within through the heart virtues. That’s where true peace resides.

Love/Light

Stepping out of the mind (ego) and into the heart puts love into all that you think, do, and say. This creates an energy of change, transformation and upliftment that goes out to all you are in contact with.  It affects the world at large as a ripple in a pond from a drop of water.  It does not matter where you are; it is felt and expands.  Love does not dissipate, for it gets stronger as it is released.  Love creates a ‘crack’ for light to enter when it encounters a closed off situation [person].  When the light enters the situation [person] it seeks out love and expands it.

When you are living from the heart [heart virtues] you are emanating love. You cannot help but create change for yourself and others when you are in this state of being.  Each virtue begets each one, and it works the same in others in the form of light.  Love is light.  It seeks a way in and finds the source of truth and expands upon that.  Love and truth are both light.  Truth carries in it an aspect of love that generates light and it expands love to shed light on anything where it is present.  When truth is spoken, it carries love to all that hear it.  This love/light (LL)in the form of truth carries with it all aspects of the heart virtues to create healing and transformation to all within its reach.  This light then plants seeds of itself and expands to evolve anything that is of a lower vibration.  All benefit from this experience for when LL is shared it strengthens the source and evolution takes place.

We are all here to evolve. Our hearts seek out all opportunities to assist us with our evolution.  This is done by giving and receiving LL. These sparks of LL exist all around us and we are always seeking it out.  When we create opportunities to give LL, our expansion is greater than when we struggle to receive it.  Struggle is of a lower vibration and it signals an opportunity for healing.  LL highlights the struggle, for it illuminates that which needs to heal.  Lower vibrations do not stand a chance when LL is present!  The lower vibration is forever changed as the alchemy of the frequency of the love mixed with the lower expression automatically changes it.  That is why there are some who are entrenched in their sadness or grief that may not want to be around someone who is trying to help (love) them.  It matters not because your thoughts can carry the same LL energy to them.

When you ‘think’ love it does not have the energy of love. It is only when you feel the thought from the heart that it has the LL energy.  All intention that is put forth when laced with love from the heart, will manifest the desired outcome.  Intention underlies all that you think, do, and say.  When you understand that you will understand the meaning your life carries.  Living from heart centered consciousness reveals to you the truth of your being and enlightens your life!

Be Well, Be Love ♥

State of Being

As the crisis, chaos, and conflict seems to continue, I am reminded of the peace that the heart virtues bring within.

We are in a time of deep fluctuation and change.  There is no other time like this, and that is because people are starting to awaken and draw to themselves the truth that exists, and always has.  There has never been a time before when the truth is there for all to see, if one just looks.  This resonates with your heart as you know it to be true.  What then is revealed to you is the truth you hold within; that you are an enigmatic being that holds within your heart the ability to know and express truth with love.  There is no other reason to exist, other than to evolve and grow from where you are at the current time to the next moment.  All that surrounds to you is taking you on that journey, and that is the only journey there is.  Your free will choice is what part of that journey you are willing to participate in, knowing it is that simple.

There is much out there to sideline your mission, and that is apparent within your life.  The biggest hurdle of all is the ego, for it is the egos job to keep you distracted from your true purpose; which is to evolve.  The outer stimuli that is created by others’ egos in the world works to connect with your ego to feed it energy to keep the illusion intact, and on a purposeful course.  That is to say that the egos main job is to deter love from existing within and so, without.

Love is of itself not a grand and glorious state of being?  If it were so, why is there so much lack of it in the world?  Love is an emotion and a feeling, but more than that, it is a state of being.  It holds within it the powers of the heart; the heart virtues, and it can be much more powerful than anything else.  So, the struggles are between the ego and the heart, each one holding power, and the good news is the heart can overcome!

The ego holds sway keeping the mind at bay until the heart converts it to Divine Mind.  This is not an agenda of the heart like the one the ego holds.  When the egos agenda is apparent you will find yourself immersed, if ever so slightly, in the world of an illusion created by the ego.  This distraction pulls you in with opinions and judgements over things that seem to be worthy, but what is truly worthy of your time and attention?  It goes back to the old adage of ‘if it feels good do it, if not, don’t’.

Too much is ignored about how something or someone makes you feel.  No one has control over this but you.  This is not easy, and the healing that should be done when things surface within, such as feelings, is daunting at times.  There has been much discussion about healing in this blog.  Healing is the starting place to remove the ‘fodder’ that feeds the ego, to keep your heart suppressed.  The heart virtues cannot activate without healing taking place.  Grace is the energy that feeds the healing process.  It is there for anyone to access that sets the intention to heal.  Healing needs to take place to ‘convert’ the ego.  Without internal fear and pain the ego cannot function as a destructive force.  When healing takes place the ego is transformed, it blends with the heart and your life is projected without fear!  This means that love is your state of being and when this happens all that is drawn to you is a reflection of your internal state of being.  What would the world look like if we infused it with this state of being, this energy?

Healing starts as an intention, and the work begins with your feelings as your guide toward wellness and expression of that clarity of being.  We cannot transform our outer world without transforming the inner one.  When we stop resisting the healing that needs to take place, we can transform the ego which will end the judgements.  It’s the judgement that keeps the ego in motion.  Allowing perspicacity to take the place of improper judgement is the answer.  Using proper discernment is a loving expression for yourself which then means it will be loving for your world and the world at large.

Desiring to and finding a way for loving expression within and without, is called for now.  Open to the idea of doing this work within and have the courage to take each step along the way.  Measure your success in each moment and it will unfold before you as a work of love.  Transformation such as this is a process, and must be done over a string of moments.  This is the real process of spiritual evolution and what we are truly here to accomplish.  Finding your way back to the purity of your being is the one journey we are all on together.  It is the only one that counts!

To Be or not to Be

Alignment with the highest expression of yourself is imperative at this time.

The chaos that ensues is happening within everyone that has not worked within to heal and connect to the heart.  The current time is forged with despair and courageous deeds.  It is a time of heightened acts and concerns of the ego, as the ego fights for its place in the world.  The energy being created by this egoic sense of panic puts forth separation consciousness.  This is far from being connected to ones’ heart, as the ego pines to be in charge thus eliminating Unity Consciousness that is the true power.

As more confusion is created to appeal to the ego, peace and alignment with what really matters to allow the truth to surface is diminished.  This creates opportunity to go within and determine why you feel the importance of fighting for separation consciousness; if that is indeed what you are allowing in your current consciousness.  Peace is found through surrendering the need to fight and not allowing the ego to create your experience.  Allowing everything in the illusion that exists to unfold naturally and as it will, creates the support from your heart to trust that all will all be aligned with the perfect will of Spirit.  This current time calls out to the heart to step into its power with the Heart Virtues in full force!  None of these virtues call for ‘taking sides’ or elevating egoic consciousness.  The more that you step into the power of the heart, the more truth will be allowed to come forth.  The more you fight with the ego consciousness, the more delays and confusion will perpetuate.  This is not what this time is about.  It is about staying true to your power to contribute to the healing and wellness within and align with Unity Consciousness.  The fluctuation of energy that is taking place is nothing more than distraction being generated, to feed the egoic centers of the few to keep things copesetic and unbalanced.

It is up to us as heart centered beings to be the ones that stay centered in peace and tranquility to support truth and unity, knowing we can change the world.

As you join with your truth, it will expand to create trust.  Trust has within it the component necessary to effectuate the energy needed for change. This is the cycle that is meant to be at this time.  Knowing this deep within your being will elevate your frequency match with love and expand that energy to counteract the chaos that exists.

It is imperative that you find the disparity that may be perpetuated by your own judgement that is being stimulated with the current time of change and evolution.  We are being tested to find out where we are as humans that finally have a voice to express our current state of being.  Shall this be lost to the Pied Piper?  Have we done all the work within only to allow ourselves to be judge and jury?  This does not mean that we cannot effectuate change if we surrender the egoic responses that are being stimulated.  This means that we can exude our power from the spiritual nature we have that is our innate sense of being, and that is who we really are!  If we each choose to support that which is truth, we will have chosen to evolve within our true nature and goodness will prevail.  That is a promise made within the structure of our true purpose during this time of change.

Be Well, Be Love ♥

Graciousness

A new time has begun with the transition from fear to peaceful purpose!  The energy that is upon you is asking that you gracefully allow things to unfold without judgement, and expect the best.

If you were to look back to the last year at this same time, what has changed?  Do you see a years’ worth of struggle or a tremendous amount of spiritual evolution within your being?  What can you contribute these changes to mean?  There has been much happening to give you opportunities for heart centered growth and evolutionary gain.  If you have been living within the heart virtues and letting them guide your life, you have experienced things much differently than others that are not consciously aware of this graciousness.

The expansion of your spiritual nature has been challenged, and this has made you aware of the difference between heart centered consciousness and ego awareness.  Aligning with the decisions made from your heart is a much different path than those made by your ego.  The ‘I know better than anyone else’ mind set arrives at a dead end.  The attitude of wanting to include others in the process of relating to their heart comes from the inclusion of grace within your life.

Finding the place within the connection to your heart and allowing your life to express this connection always awakens others to the peace you hold within.  Coming from this place inspires others to want this for themselves and shows them where their misalignments might be.  This then creates a crack within their paradigm that leaves a place for clarity and light to enter.  From that moment forward they are forever changed and their heart is activated.  When this happens, they will feel the difference between the ego and their heart centered activation.  This is a powerful time for them as they choose what part of themselves to listen to.  The more that you interact with someone the more they are affected by your heart frequency, and the more stimulated by the love sent forth from you activates their being.  The feeling of your grace filled composure ignites the internal recesses of their soul to reach for more and search within.  Your life giving spiritual nature aligns with others at the same energy frequency.  When you take your heart out into the world you affect others in a very profound way!  This is the next step for a heart centered person leading their life in such a way, with graciousness as their creed.  If this makes sense to you then it is you who are meant to change the world, to heal and activate the spirit within those you encounter.

The transitional energy that is now being expressed wants to find the higher frequency to lift all up into clarity and heart awareness activation.  You are that frequency of light that searches for the likeness of itself within everything and everyone, and when it ignites that within others it communes in clarity and love.  This generates ecstatic enlightenment and a change of energy.  Go forward in the attitude of graciousness towards all you encounter with your heart in full activation!

Blessings to you in 2017.  It is the year of enlightenment!

Peace and Contentment

There is much to be thankful for during this season of peace and contentment.  So much has transpired and it seems that everything is changing, or will be.

The changes that have taken place have opened new pathways to connect your heart with your mind.  Some of these changes have ‘the ego on the run’ and glimpses of contentment can be found within.

A new-found connection and understanding of the 8 heart virtues (compassion, understanding, forgiveness, gratitude, appreciation, valor, acceptance, and allowing) is the bridge from the state of change to peace and contentment.  There is much to be said for embracing change without fear and resistance.  This is to say that during change the ego may create CCC (crisis, chaos, conflict); as it may want to create suffering through resistance when change is present.  Peace and contentment can be found under the rocks of CCC, for change is inevitable through this alchemy.

There are two opportunities with any change that is presented.  One is resistance and the other is expansion.  One offers suffering while the other creates opportunity for healing and spiritual attainment.  Every opportunity that change presents is duly suited for a clearer connection to your Higher Self through a vibrational equivalent.  Processing change starts within the mind and completes within the heart.  This then instills clarity of being and elevates your frequency match with your Higher Self.  There are no shortcuts around growth and expansion, and this is why you are here.

As you accept change within your life the blessings come forward.  These are the harbingers of peace and contentment.  When one cannot find the blessings within a situation of change, there is resistance.  Resistance comes from the ego and cannot be transmuted.  Change would not appear in your life if you weren’t ready or didn’t call it forth.  Change is intrinsic to life and vice versa.  Some changes are welcome, and some are not.  All change creates hidden opportunity for expansion.  There cannot be change without expansion, even with resistance.  Resistance shows you where change needs to take place.  That is a blessing!  Resistance is tied to the ego which accesses the place within you that needs to be healed.  If one decides not to proceed with change, the resistance within will grow.  This will lead to another form of change being presented to you with more facets.  Faceted changes are more likely to create CCC.  This is where change can become unmanageable.  Starting with and practicing the 8 heart virtues will aid one in this situation breaking apart the faceted change to more manageable parts.

There is nothing that cannot be healed through the Heart Virtues!  The heart restores all life and blesses ones being.  The heart tempers the ego without struggle, and imparts a new dimension of goodness to its processes.  When this happens, new pathways open within that lead to living peace and contentment.  This then, allows you to expand your experience to include more complex forms of change that add to the flavor of your journey!

Be Well, Be Love ♥

Happiness

What is happiness? Where does it come from? Is it a state of mind or does it come from the heart?

Happiness is a state of being as true happiness is generated from the heart. Happiness is found when there is a state of peace that exists within. The expression of peace is happiness.

Peace is the natural state of the heart. When the heart is activated and healing has (or is in the process) of taking place, peace is the state of consciousness the heart reflects. The synergy between the mind and the heart must be clear and in divine repose. If the ego is active, its ‘job’ is to prevent peace from happening. The egos job is to prevent healing from taking place. Its function is to create crisis, chaos, and conflict (see previous posts ), as its purpose is to uphold and strengthen the illusion of separation.

When all parts of ones being are in harmony, happiness and peace are the by product and glorious state of being. This means that you cannot truly be pulled from your center. At this stage, it is of the utmost to stay in alignment with this vibration to connect with the highest consciousness of your being to assist others with their processes. You become a beacon of hope, and your frequency meets that of enlightenment and ascension. This state of being is important to all of humanity, as it accelerates healing and connectivity to the hearts of all ones currently on the same path.

If your heart is activated from healing and is restored to its divine state of creation, its love is brought forth and the ego mind cannot withstand the frequency. This amalgamation transforms the ego into divine mind. This state of holiness becomes your natural state of being and from this place you can create miracles!

The reality of this state of being is the ‘mustard seed’ of truth, and the vibration of truth cannot be withheld. Truth only speaks to itself and when it is present, healing and clarity can come forth. Truth is the first step of deep healing and restoration. Truth happens outside of the illusion that is separation. True love cannot exist without truth, and nothing that is not of truth can exist within the current frequency and vibration.

When you heal within, you find your truth. When you find your truth, you activate your heart. When you activate your heart, you radiate love. When you radiate love, you transform your mind. When your mind and heart work as one, you create peace within. This state of consciousness emanates within and without as happiness!

Awareness

Awareness is a conscionable connection with your inner and outer realm.  It is an ongoing act of communication involving your heart, mind, and higher self in relation to your world.  When we add the word conscious to awareness we are adding that you are not focused just in your mind, but all facets of being are engaged.

Conscious awareness brings to light the complete picture of what you are focused upon; making the experience of it a permanent part of your being.  This means that you are having a spiritual experience and expression of whatever it is you are doing.

All of life and all that you do is a spiritual act of communing with your life’s journey.  There is nothing outside of that, as this is the purpose for your life.  There is no other reason to be here!  The spiritual nature of your journey involves conscious awareness in that you cannot have a connection with your purpose, and the plans set forth, unless you are in a state of conscious awareness.  This brings to light the importance of the connection between the divine mind and heart (see The Stand & Belief posts) to fully engage your conscious awareness.

Your life is a spiritual act of love.  Just by virtue of interacting with your environment and tuning within to the feelings (heart) that are created from this alchemy, is a spiritual experience.  Being consciously aware of this process enables you to evolve and expand your awareness.  The more you connect with this interaction, the more clear and concise your intentions become to correlate with your life’s purpose.  You cannot have any mistakes along your journey as everything you do, learn, and know is all leading you down your life’s path toward the reason you are here.  This should take the stress off if you are concerned about know what your life’s path truly is!  It is the here and the now.  Becoming consciously aware of your spiritual nature, along with your intentions with regard to everything and everyone in your life, and the connections you have within is the key to creating all you want to have in your life’s experience.  This is the conscious part of your awareness and what you are here to learn.  You cannot have the feeling of fulfillment without the knowledge of your spiritual process of attainment.  Being consciously aware that all you do enriches your spiritual nature and will expand your life’s path to open to more of what you intend your life to be.

Be Well, Be Love ♥

Trust

Seeing is believing and trusting is believing without seeing.  To rise above the ego mind and trust is far more difficult than anything …. other than faith.  Faith and trust are very similar in that there is no proof that they exist.  Trust is a value as is faith, and both come from the same place, the heart.

Why should you develop trust?  Trust allows the truth to come forward and faith allows you to believe in it.  Trust is really in one’s self, as you are the one who allows it.  You must believe in yourself and your heart to be fully connected to trust.  If you trust someone else, you have faith [believe] in them enough to trust them [truth].  If you trust a situation or event will turn out the way you want it to, you must first know your part in it as you must be in perfect truth for the outcome to be assured.  There is another side to this as well in that you must always trust that things will be as they are meant to be, and only 100% of the time!  There are no accidents or mistakes and all is on perfect timing and task.  This is how the Universe was created, and when you trust in its perfection and have faith in your process, everything in your life will reflect that power [love].

Trust and faith put the 10 heart virtues into action.  Without these foundational values nothing else will work.  Trust and faith are facets of love.  For example, forgiveness is rooted in love with faith that you trust yourself to believe in the forgiveness you are enacting.  Compassion and understanding are an extension of love trusting that it will be received and make a difference.  Each virtue carries with it love consciousness [through the heart] with trust and faith as the processors.  As your awareness of this increases the more powerful your heart virtues become, and you turn into a mighty beacon of light and love!

With trust and faith there are no mistakes.  Since these values work with the heart in the pure expression of truth, there can be no mistakes; as mistakes are only an illusion of the ego mind used to create fear and project weakness.  When one is working with truth, the ego mind is not active and cannot create the illusion of mistakes or weakness, as truth is strength and directly connected to and operating from the heart.

The vibration of truth is such that it corrects all things existing within a situation or process and cannot be diluted.  This means that truth is without ‘mistakes’ (sic) and love is its foundation.  When truth is expressed, trusted, and believed it cannot uphold any illusion.  This means that reality is based on truth and illusion is created and maintained from the ego mind.  When you can trust your heart and have faith in yourself you live in truth and your reality is without illusion.  The reflections of ego such as fear, dismay, sadness, degradation, anger, and disillusionment cannot reside in a heart conscious being.  This is the key to your spiritual evolution and your guidelines to living a life based in reality where only happiness, joy, and peace are the cornerstones of your existence.

Trust your heart and have faith in yourself.

Be Well, Be Love ♥

Grace

What is grace?  Grace is the energy created out of pure love.  It is the energy that comes from the vibrations of the 10 Virtues (see Sacrednicity, Peace Within).  Grace is given to all that ask for it, and it is the foundation of all healing and restoration.  Grace is also a state of being i.e. ‘In the state of Grace’.

When you ask for assistance through prayer, Grace is given to the subject of the prayer and is bestowed upon the one that is asking.  Prayers are generated through intention.  The prayer [intention] that is generated calls out to the vibration of the heart virtue that will assist in answering the intention [prayer].  This then creates an emotion from the heart that adds power and strength to the intention.  This energy vibration [emotion] creates and magnifies the Grace that is sent to the subject of the prayer.  When this Grace is received it adds to the vibration and frequency of the receiver, and gives strength to the intention from which it was created.  This is why multiple persons creating the same prayer [intention] works so well.  The power of Grace sent to one specific person or place will modify the receiver and surround them with the vibration of the Grace that was originated.  For instance, if the intention was for healing, and emotion was combined with the vibration of the virtue of Compassion then sent to the receiver, the Grace would be magnified and the receiver would benefit greatly from the effect.  This is the place from whence miracles are created and manifested!

Grace is the energy of love, healing, and the eradication of fear.  Fear is the absence of Grace; as fear is generated from the ego mind and Grace is generated from the heart.  One can ask and receive Grace if they operate from the ego mind, however they will not have the full benefit of the effect that Grace offers unless they are able to receive it within their heart, as the love that it is.  The heart virtue of Humility is the receptor vibration of Grace.  Fear does not allow the heart virtues to flourish and achieve their full potential.  Fear shuts down heart consciousness and alienates Grace.

One cannot thrive while in the state of fear.  Fear wears many faces.  Sometimes fear is so obscure that one does not know they are operating within it.  If you practice the heart virtues but yet find judgement is something you ‘practice’ consistently, you are not within the State of Grace.  Judgement is fear based and more common than any other type of fear.  Doubt, worry, and stress are also fear based emotions and keep the ego mind in full force.  Consciously realizing you are in the state of fear, and going within to find the basis of that fear, will offer instant Grace from your heart for healing.  Anytime that your awareness is consciously focused upon something within (fear for example) for which you request healing, it will be answered with Grace.  This can be noticed through emotion.  The hearts response will generate an emotion for you to work with that will inspire more Grace.  And so begins the healing process within!  This process will continue as you consciously request (through prayer/intention) it, and work with belief, faith, and trusting in yourself to heal through Grace.

Conscious awareness of the differences between thoughts and emotions that arise in your experience will guide you to Graceful living and thriving within and without your life.  This will lead to a life of wonder and illumination of the Grace filled existence you long for and deserve!

Be Well, Be Love ♥
