Allowing
March 18, 2012
There are differences between accepting, submitting, and allowing. There is also a difference between what the programmed ego-mind and the awakened Soul will allow. Understanding these differences will assist you to make wiser decisions.
From an ego-mind perspective, you may accept someone’s thoughts or actions, and be in agreement, or tolerate without protest. You may submit to another person’s will, either under pressure or reluctantly. Or, you may allow others to express themselves with your permission, but not necessarily your approval.
From your Soul’s vantage point, you can allow people to choose their own course of action, permitting everything that does not bring harm to another, or themselves. What is for the highest good is always a foremost consideration. When an action may cause destruction to the planet, or those living on it, it is the wisdom and courage of the Soul Self that steps in to prevent such damage.
Courage and integrity to life fuels the passion of the Soul because it knows the interconnectedness of ALL. This wisdom and understanding creates a powerful protectiveness toward Earth and her inhabitants. The awakened spiritual aspect of us will not permit anything that robs our Earthly home of life, love, or dignity.
Find this strength of spirit within yourself, and build your personal character with integrity and virtue.
Upliftment
March 11, 2012
As co-creators of our lives, it does us well to build with positive, strong, durable, healthy, uplifting, wholesome, and joyful material. Our imaginations, attitudes, beliefs, and desires play a large role in our creative process. Do you feed your mind with life-affirming material?
Do you clean out negative thoughts that cause dis-ease? Are you dedicated to building a positive life filled with purpose, camaraderie, and fulfillment? How is your attitude? Could you be more discerning in what you bring into your consciousness? Are you taking full responsibility for the atmosphere in which you indulge your senses. Is it uplifting and inspiring? Are you empowered by what you read, watch, or listen to?
Nourish your mind, body and Soul with everything useful for co-creating a more desirable world to live in, and to share with others. Remember, the Earth is created by God, but the world is made by mankind. What type of world do you want to live in and be a part of? Begin building it for yourself, and invite others to join your vision.
Imagination
March 4, 2012
Pictures in our minds are the building blocks by which we design our lives. We have the ability to create whatever we put our mind to. Our greatest tool is our imagination. With our creativity we can draw up plans, or blueprints, by which to follow as we bring our imagined concepts into physical manifestation.
Have you used your mind to invent something original? Have you been able to improve upon someone else’s invention to better suit your needs? With contemplation, have you developed a five year plan of action? Are you following your dreams, or someone else’s ideas?
When you take the time to decide your life you awaken within yourself all that is necessary to bring it to fruition. Your Soul has everything you need to accomplish your goals: passion, drive, knowing, positive attitude and synchronicity. With your Soul’s guidance you are sure to meet with success.
Before anything is made in physicality it must first be designed within your imagination. What are you designing right now? What things are you attracting into your experience through your thoughts? Are you happy with your creations? Weed out the negative thoughts that prevent you from attaining that which you truly desire. Use your imagination to create a life of joy and fulfillment.
Wholesomeness
February 26, 2012
Wholesomeness nourishes true desire. Our bodies are designed in a way that they can repair and regenerate themselves for a lifetime of experience. Skin grows back after it has been torn. Bones re-knit when broken. Blood replenishes after loss, as long as the drain has not been too severe.
This innate desire to continue living is built within each person’s being. To remain whole is a natural desire. Therefore, everything that is wholesome, or life affirming, is attractive to our true nature. You can find this desire for continued life within every living being.
People have been known to “hang on for dear life,” even when their bodies are experiencing great pain. What impulse takes over to spur a person on to keep going and not give up? The majority of humanity will agree that life is worth living, even when circumstances are difficult. This yearning can be used favorably to pull us out of hard times. It can also help us to assist others when their situation looks bleak.
Provide wholesome goodness for your brothers and sisters to enjoy and thrive on. Keep choosing to experience that which is pure and positive. Awaken your true inner being that desires all that is life affirming.
Harvest
February 19, 2012
“You reap what you sow” is a phrase known by most people. What does it truly mean? Can you plant seeds of corn and expect to harvest wheat? How about growing beets from radish seeds? Would you be surprised to wake up one day to find peaches growing from your apple tree?
Then, why do you curse life when you harvest something undesirable in your experience? Can you not trace it back to a belief system that has planted the idea and cultivated it right up to harvesting time? Nothing happens to you without a vibrational match to it within yourself. Everything happens for a reason. What was the reason behind your unwanted situation?
This is what meditation can assist you with, to gain a higher perspective, and to see where you planted an undesirable seedling. It had to come into your experience by your own hands, or more accurately, your own mind. What belief brought it into your life experience?
When you understand that everything in your experience is connected to your very own thoughts, feelings, or beliefs, you may choose to be more diligent to keep your attitude positive and productive. You are capable of harvesting whatever positive idea you choose to plant and cultivate. Or, you can live by default and reap the consequences of abdicating authority to someone else. Why not choose for yourself which life experiences you would like to bring to harvest?
Experience
February 12, 2012
What is life? One description can be EXPERIENCE. And, with every type of experience available to us, we are truly blessed to have such variety at our fingertips. What would you like to experience? Claim it, and then draw it to you by your alignment in consciousness. It is all up to you. You are the co-creator of your life experience.
What will bring about your desire? Do you need to apply more diligence toward anything in particular? Would it be better for you to learn certain skills to achieve your goal? Does it require greater focus and concentration? How proactive are you in fulfilling your dreams? You will attain your desired result to the degree of your determination.
How passionate is your drive to accomplish your objective? Are you courageous enough to push through the limitations and boundaries set up by your misinformed ego-mind? Are you willing to rise above false beliefs that keep you in the state of feeling unworthy? Will you break free of the victim consciousness pervading society?
You have everything you need to accomplish all of your desires. Go for it! Life is whatever you want it to be. What do you want?
Virtue
February 5, 2012
Wisdom applied produces virtue. It is simple. It does not take genius or great intellect to live in virtue. Surprisingly, it is actually easier to live a virtuous life when good, old-fashioned common sense is applied.
How may you gain this attribute of being virtuous? Deep within your nature is all of the understanding necessary for living a wholesome and fulfilling life. Your Soul already knows what the wisest choice is at any given moment. Rely upon this inner voice and awaken your knowing.
Meditation is helpful to cultivate a reliable relationship with this spiritual aspect of yourself. A person who does not know how to read can excel in wisdom. People of any culture can make decisions that are for the highest good of all. It is a matter of desire.
Claim your true nature by taking the time to decide wisely for yourself, for all of humanity and every living being. This will open your vision to perceive a connective web of life where everyone is joined together, vibrating at a higher rate of frequency than that of physical matter.
Retrain yourself to see from a higher perspective. Reach inside to your innate Self. Share with others your true expression of compassion and understanding. Seek to find the positive interpretation of every experience. Live a virtuous life by choosing wisdom to motivate you.
Tolerance
January 29, 2012
What flower grown on Earth do you believe to be worthy of extinction? Which edible fruit would you like to banish from life’s garden forever? Do you have the gall to dictate which crop you think should be prevented from thriving? Are you presumptuous enough to deny your neighbor of figs, just because you do not like their taste, or the mess that the fig tree produces? Or, can you tolerate your neighbor’s messy fig tree and appreciate their delight in its fruit? Would you be pleased if your neighbor tried to ban your favorite fruit tree?
There is a bounty of fruits and vegetables available to choose from. You do not necessarily have to eat something that is distasteful to you. You can choose to enjoy those foods that better suit your personal taste.
You can apply this simple analogy to everything in life that is a matter of preference.
Tolerance allows for diversity to coexist side by side. Color and texture bring enjoyment to the senses. If the world was only made up of three colors and two textures it would become monotonous and boring. Be grateful for the endless varieties to experience and enjoy. Learn to appreciate another’s preference, even when it differs from your own.
Life is meant to be experienced with great joy and wonder. Allow everyone on Earth to choose what will be their own personal preference and life can be truly shared in peace.
Nature
January 22, 2012
Life is forever regenerating itself. The cycles built into nature are designed to provide continuation for every species on Earth. Learn to work with Mother Nature to build a positive and prosperous life for yourself and others.
Plant your seeds and cultivate the land to feed your family. Uncover ancient wisdom held deep within your Soul. Seek answers from within as to what your part can be in recovering Earth’s beauty and bounty. Take pride in your home, the Earth.
Teach your children to care for this life-sustaining planet. Organize intentional communities that fit your current needs. Expand your knowledge of natural living. Decide to participate in the great shift that has begun – from living in an ego dominated world filled with consumerism and toxic waste build-up, to that of whole Self living based on honor for nature and sustainability.
Bounty
January 15, 2012
Nature produces a plentitude of nourishing foods, medicines, juices, living water, building materials, fiber for fabrics, working animals, and anything a person would need to live a healthy life. Simple living is making a come-back within modern society. Many people are developing and joining intentional communities.
Man-made objects are being scrutinized in greater detail to uphold Earth’s sustainability. Recycling has been promoted to imitate nature’s way of regeneration. Join your brothers and sisters to co-create a more natural, sustainable way of living. Design your life as close to nature as you are comfortable. Retrain yourself to be a responsible care-taker of our planet so that you can hand down its bounty to your children and grandchildren.
Trust in nature’s abundance. Life is fulfilling when we cultivate positive practices, and share with everyone God’s blessings of love, joy, and peace. Be proactive in your decisions and actions to create a future where every living being can prosper.
