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!

Often we decide to control…either a situation, ourselves, or someone else. We usually feel our intention is to help, but sadly it is seen as an intrusion on either a situation or to someone else.

Controlling usually (and eventually) leads to resentment by others; they may not see it that way at first, as many of us can attest to someone seeming to WANT us to have control over a situation, or even them because they don’t wish to ‘consciously’ be responsible for a decision), but sadly, once we do ‘control’, anger and resent usually/eventually follow.

It is said that someone whom controls always feels ‘out of control,’ so that they have a need to control everyone and everything. But it goes so much deeper than that, for on a metaphysical level, control is actually stopping oneself from experiencing life to it’s fullest, and not for the reason one may think!

We tend to view controlling people as that they always want their way, and while that may appear to be true, the truth is this: The only one that they are truly ‘controlling,’ (not giving their way to..) is THEMSELVES. This is a great truth because there is none other THAN YOU! There is only ONE BEING sitting here, split into countless units of Energy called Souls, and so, to control another is to really control SELF; in this case, stopping oneself, hindering oneself, not allowing oneself to evolve or grow!

When observing a person who controls, (we may sometimes use the word, “control-freak…”) we often think that they should just mind their own business; we perceive them as that they are not allowing the other to realize something essential in their life situation. They are either over-protecting, being intrusive, or worst yet, manipulating that individual into living their dreams, rather than realizing their own; in other words, they are stopping that person from experiencing life! And what of a person that controls?  They actually are not experiencing/enjoying their own life. They become so involved in the other’s life or in a situation, that they are not free. They are always concerned, complaining or judging a situation or person, and usually refuse to look at their own life.

To be involved so deeply in another’s life story is detrimental not only to that person, but to oneself, for someone who controls robs (not only the one whom they are controlling), but also themselves of freedom and joy.

The best way to perceive anyone is to remember, ‘they were God’s child, before they were mine…’ and in that stillness, the control is lifted, freeing both the controlled, and especially, the one controlling.

And isn’t this the exact definition of God/Love, which is to allow FREE WILL? Love is truly allowing others to be free; and in Loving ourselves, we then also choose freedom in letting go of controlling those around us.

As we stop controlling others, we gain and experience our own freedom, which is another word for God, and the experience of being THAT.

Blessings!

We are all afraid to be diagnosed with a disease. We feel it threatens everything we are, making life hard and painful.

It is natural to feel this way. We all wish to continue our good health; in order to be free of disease, we must realize how it manifests.

The first ‘thought’ or feeling that begins a disease is to be in a state of ‘DIS- EASE.’ In other words, to not be AT EASE. Emotions such as feelings of being DIS-heartened, DIS-couraged, DIS-appointed, DIS-missed, DIS-contented, etc., all lead to DIS-ease….disease.

Feelings are everything. We often dismiss them, hide them from others and from ourselves; cover them up, self medicate (in the forms of alcohol and with both legal and illegal drugs), to not feel them, deal with them, etc., but they are STILL THERE. How do we know that?  Because they come back.

Feelng powerless, hopeless, and feeling what’s the use, are all forms that also bring an outcome of disease, for these feelings also put us in a state of ‘not at ease.’

In our true and natural state of Being, we are Pure Love; that is our vibration and the energy we are. We are God/Love/Energy in physical form, expressing and experiencing in this dimension as a human…. for a little while.

When we feel these feelings of ‘not at ease,’ there are several ways to turn this around and feel good.

The first thing is to address why we may be feeling ill at ease. We can blame others for our negative emotions and feelings. We can expect them to ‘make us feel better,’ but the truth is we actually do have all the power to change how we feel. It may not feel that way, but it is the TRUTH of our BEING. No one can do anything to us (metaphysically speaking) that we do not allow. I realize that this is a big step to acknowledge, but it is TRUTH. We may not consciously be aware of this, but nevertheless, we are responsible for everything in our life and how we choose to experience it.

So to start feeling better is often difficult, and you may ask how can I do this? How can I feel good when I do feel so bad?

Always the first step is to DECIDE. A conscious decision to feel good is essential. It is all a matter of choice and discipline. If you feel you do not have this discipline, then just by finding something to feel grateful for starts this process of feeling good, and eventually leads back to wellness if consistent with your intention.

If it’s hard to find something to feel grateful for, then it may even be that you have the eyes and sight to read this page.

There are times, however that we can feel grateful and still have feelings of abandonment and feeling unsupported, which can lead to those same feelings of discouragement, discontent, and eventually manifest into disease.

It is important to stop these feelings and one way is by knowing that the perception of feeling abandoned or unsupported oftentimes may come from our ‘domestication,’ and is a learned reaction and behavior; it can be unlearned. It is to change our perception and instead to realize/know that support is all around us, and abandonment is and can be nothing more than seen as an opportunity to BE with oneself and to make a decision to flourish.

If a loved one or someone close to you is displaying this type of negative behavior towards you, and these feelings arise, looking deeper into THEIR behavior will always reflect that this treatment towards you is nothing more than someone who has experienced this abuse to the point that they disconnect, and cannot feel how others are perceiving their behavior. It has nothing to do with us or our value. Finding that place of ‘not taking it personal’ brings a sense of peace and feelings of being ‘at ease.’  (for more information on this subject, ‘The Four Agreements,’ by Miguel Ruiz is a good book to gain deeper insight into this subject of ‘not taking it personal’).

The most important emotion is to feel Love…..Love is always the answer; Love of SELF, Love of another.

Loving Kindness towards others is Loving SELF, for we are ALL ONE.

If you are having a difficult time doing this for yourself, do it for another, and it will be done onto you….why? Because we are all the same energy, therefore what we do affects us as well as others.

Strive for EASE….ease into the flow of life; do what you Love; what brings you joy, and causing those good feelings for another will also become your experience of feeling good.

Bring understanding and clarity to another, and you will have and experience the same for yourself.

All are blessed…..The Light of Love shines all the time….any darkness in our life is just as a cloud blocking the sun…the sun is still there, as is always Love/God/All That Is!

With that knowledge comes relief, freedom, peace,….. and EASE.

Many Blessings!
