We all create our reality with our thoughts and feelings....literally from the Inside---out! Our feelings and thoughts manifest into what we call our "reality," in other words, our "life situations/experiences," or whatever you wish to call them. Sounds like a big responsibility, but whether you wish to realize this, or ignore it, it IS a choice, as is everything. If we relax into the knowing that we are responsible for our life, then we have the power to change it. Blame to others and to situations that cause problems only leaves us feeling powerless, and actually renders us powerless (as you cannot give away anything that you do not "own"). For, as said in the movie, "The Secret," by Rhonda Bryne, "Whether you think you can't or can...either way you are right."

By taking the initial step of consideration that our thoughts and feelings do indeed create our reality, you have begun to start the experience of a wonderful, joyful, abundant and happy life...that is, once you get the true "feeling" of understanding.

Our thoughts are unlimited, and hence, so are we. We are true reflections of God, which is Love...the Source of Everything, and the only "Real" and true Energy in the Universe....Life, Love, Truth, Abundance, Peace....all these things are God, and we are That. We, therefore, have that "creative" power to create our reality, and we do that simply, effortlessly, and oftentimes, without realization that we are creating our reality, literally all the time! We will create reactively and unconsciously, that is, until we don't; until we are conscious of that truth.

And this concept and realization is my reason for starting this blog. To inform, give to our community, to all of you, to uplift the planet's consciousness, to create a better Now....which is actually giving to myself, as we are all connected...truly there is only One Supreme Being sitting here, and our reality consists of that glorious Being manifested into individual units of Loving Energy, called "Souls," "Life Forms," etc.

We are all on this journey together, to discover this wonderful realization and then to manifest the most glorious experience of Life possible!

This, I know for sure.

Connecting to Source, realizations will occur....we can all do this, and we do...the only question is are we doing this consciously or unconsciously? The more awareness we place on what we feel and think, the more we will be able to create Consciously, rather than unconsciously, or reactively.

Join me to view some realizations that have literally occurred from "The Inside---Out!"

Many Blessings!

Competition; one of the surest ways to cause suffering. We seem to value those whom participate and win, but it is a true double-edged sword, for as we cheer for the victor, we disrespect the one who did not succeed in achieving that recognition of  ‘being BEST!’

And the word BEST is such a relative term, for to be the best indicates that someone else is not. More misery has come from ‘feeling not good enough’ in every circumstance, and especially where competition is concerned.

Yet we constantly strive to instill in our young the desire to be competitive.  Many do this in the hope that it will somehow cause our children to excel in their academic endeavors; that the feeling to be the ‘best’ will somehow make them want to learn and succeed, when usually it creates the opposite feeling, and instead instills a feeling oftentimes of wishing to give up!

Feeling not good enough is usually a result of being placed into a competitive role, and somehow not measuring up to others’ standards of achievement and recognition.  We place ourselves and our young in that role, and then wonder why motivation, creativity, and curiosity diminish in many more than we tend to pay attention to, instead of just giving them our unconditional support and care.

Raising our young and wishing for them the best is natural; what is not is so many parents with well meaning intentions and attempts, deciding to instill a drive to succeed by pitting them against each other to achieve that goal.

Competition is in truth a mark of a very primitive society, for it produces unrest at the least, and even violence when brought to an extreme.  How many otherwise peaceful children, cultures, nations, etc, would thrive if instead of competition, they were treated with the respect and dignity that we are all One, accepted by our differences, and honored, instead of being treated in a way that they become offended and merely tolerated at best?

The only way to succeed in anything is to Love what we are doing.  Competition oftentimes creates a silent hatred for the hobby or activity we once held so dear to our hearts.

If one wishes to compete at all, merely competing with oneself, dedicated to an intention of doing OUR best, overcoming obstacles, and excelling to the Greatest, Grandest version and vision we ever had of who we Really Are, is ‘competition’  enough.

For there IS only ONE, and we are All That.  To go against another part of ourselves, in the form of another, only leads to separation, and with that comes suffering.  In a highly evolved society, one would never cause another to ‘lose,’ for they know that the other who ‘lost’ is also them.  They would never instill competition in anyone because it is teaching to go against Self, and this they would never do.

True Love for Self is always Unity, and with that comes Peace.

Many Blessings!
