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!

“You are the Peace Warriors of Hope and Light.

In reading the lives of great men, it is found that the first victory they won was over themselves.

You see with third eye sight; the vision of total awe. You are the ones who hold strong to the convictions of Truth. You are free of ridicule or fear of the unknown. Reality is a perception based on your own limitations. Every man is free to rise as far as he is able or willing, but the degree to which he thinks determines the degree to which he will rise. It is your Divine Wisdom that lights the path so that others may see. Shine with the beauty of your Soul!

Your presence is far beyond the superficial constraints of the ego. You are the Light of the Universe, the power of the Sacred Design, true and incorruptible.

Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others. We hold the power to transcend. We all truly are the Ultimate Creators. Know your Soul. Trust only your Soul.”***

And So It is…………Blessed Be!

Patience is a virtue, so we have heard many times, in our lives…especially when we desire something that seems to take ‘forever’ to get here! That could be in the mind of a child waiting for that ice cream cone, a graduation coming up, or someone’s life long dream finally becoming a reality. It could also involve, waiting for someone to show up in ones’ life, or waiting for ourselves to show up being that person we ‘wish’ we could be, or we wish THEY would or could be.

Patience is seen as something we do not have, and/or, a need/wish to acquire. At best, it is thought of as something that, if we do all the correct things, we will ‘achieve’ it. It is never thought of as something we are intrinsically born with, nor something that is given to us, or handed down to us. At best, it is thought that if we are patient (implying we can become this at any moment, or rather we do indeed have this trait, but just don’t realize or use it all the time), that then, by example, we will teach others’ patience; sort of a ‘role modeling.’

The truth is there is only Now. The reason for “Patience,” is to help us realize that since there is only Now, everything we wish for is already here….therefore, the ‘patience’ we are displaying is just basically an ‘allowing’ something to come into our reality that is already present (as a ‘possibility’).

How to allow? Once again, gratefulness….to be grateful for what you already have, or search for a trait that you gratefully notice in that Significant Other. Realize that everyone and everything is made up of Pure Potential, and then ACKNOWLEGE that it is there! That alone will result in more things to be grateful for, and more things to be grateful for will then be coming into your life, including the traits you love in that person, amplified considerably!

Patience is truly all about allowing. It is realizing that there is NO TIME; that all is in the Eternal Now; that we have nothing really to ‘wait,’ for, but to only become Aware that it ALL already exists right now. If you do not see it in another, you cannot see it in yourself. If it appears to not yet be present, then look at what you are doing and being to yourself, and you will find that ‘missing’ trait or quality is there, all along, waiting to be realized and noticed. For what you see that you love in another, that is who you Really Are….What you do not like in another, you are doing to yourself.

The more we choose to see everyone and everything as the truly Perfect Being they are…Reflections of God/Spirit/Mind/All that is, the closer we come to seeing who We Really Are….For truly there is only “One Being” sitting here…..patiently waiting for Us to realize that there is only this One Grand Moment of NOW, and that everything is already Here Now, just waiting for us to Allow it’s showing up into our personal Reality.

One Grand Moment….a moment when ‘time’ stands still. How often have we heard that statement, “Time just seemed to stand still?” Usually a perception such as this is experienced during either a major trauma, or an enchanted moment, filled with elation and Love.

So what does this statement truly mean…time standing still? We often feel a sense of extreme peace…that no matter what is taking place, whatever we consider ‘good or bad,’ we are filled with a sense of safety and calm.

Speaking with many victims of either natural disasters, illness or even some kind of victimization, the same feelings are experienced: peace, a slowing down of our surroundings, and complete calmness…in other words, being ”In the Moment.”
.
This feeling we experience is our True Nature. It is the life event of experiencing our Source, our connection with the Divine, our connection with the All that Is; some call this Spirit, God, Mind, etc., but whatever we ‘name’ this connection, it is all the same…it is who We Really Are….A Spiritual Idea of God; a Spirit having a human experience.

Meditation, if practiced, will bring about this sense/experience of time standing still; of connection with all, and a feeling of calm, peaceful security. It is the feeling of being connected, rather than separate; a feeling of complete letting go, and yet ‘holding on.’ It is the experience of completeness and wholeness; it is the feeling of Love.

Trust comes extremely easy during this period of ‘timelessness.’ There is a sense that there is nothing to fear..in fact, fear is never even a thought during this experience.

In Truth, there is only this Grand Moment. Time is simply mankind’s way of ‘keeping track,’ so to speak, of life events. There is no such thing as aging, except what we believe, based on what we have been taught. There are cases of people, whom, having lost their perception of time, literally stop aging. (Examples of this situation can be found in a book called, “Science and Health, with Key to the Scriptures,’ by Mary Baker Eddy).

Remember, Be free, and Be Happy…for you have all the ‘time’ in the world!

And how to once again experience anything Good? Begin with a statement of Gratitude!

Blessings!

Needing is so much different than desiring.  It may serve one to ask, “do I truly desire this/them, etc.,”
just for the pleasure of it/them enhancing my life?  Does it or they enhance my life?  Or do I need because
I am temporarily in the illusion that there is something within myself I am lacking and trying to ‘fill’ that part of me I think is not there?   In truth we all are complete and whole and Perfect; a true Love will help us to enhance that completeness; that’s why it’s all about both giving into the relationship and not what can be ‘got’ out of it….(any ‘getting’ we get is because the other is enhancing us (adding to our already ‘completeness’)…

……because we in truth, are without need.

Enhancement is more a desiring, rather than a need.

Ask yourself what kind of relationship completes you?  And you will know to be Happy Right in this Moment of Now (because then more to be happy about will show up)…If you have been happy, and someone is no longer in your life right now, it most likely is because that relationship was not enhancing or keeping you ‘happy;’ consequently, it ‘left,’ because you were ‘Being Happy,’ and that relationship just wasn’t on your ‘frequency,’ of how you usually were feeling, which was “Happy.”

Everything runs it’s course. We are meant to be happy, and if we are not, we will adapt, meaning we will “change” ourselves, our life situation…something will definitely change!

Change is Life is God is Life….the circle is complete.

Therefore, as stated in Neale Donald Walsch’s recent book, When Everything Changes, Change Everything,” ALL CHANGE IS ALWAYS GOOD!

‘….There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume the existence of a conscious and intelligent Mind…’ This Mind is the matrix of all ‘matter….’
-Max Planck

Everything we have around us is the result of a frequency and what that also means is that if you amplify the frequency, the structure of the matter will change. This ‘self-contained system’ is a holograph; our feelings change the field. Reality behaves in accordance with the expectation of the observer. The Substance of the Universe IS Consciousness, therefore it is only behavior and feelings that are important.

Therefore, Matter does not exist.

The Act of Consciousness builds our universe as we go.***

***This writing was in part taken from the DVD (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LrZDC5tOqfo)

One of my good friends commented on a love relationship that was not working, by this statement: “…this fantasy that was better unlived!”  

Never have I experienced it stated more clearly! (But notice, that implies ‘regret’ to some degree), and it is so important to do your best to know that all is for a good purpose…for Evolution of the Soul! If you read through this statement’s message, you will notice that my friend seems to be addressing, in so many words, that there is regret that the relationship was ever started, in addition it was stressed to me that there was a feeling of doubt as to if they can both get past this part..(which implies that there is still a feeling it’s possible/or that he/she still may wish for this relationship to continue).

The most proper and perfect question is, ‘does this person whom is feeling regret, wish to?’

In other words, what is gotten from this chaos, stress, hurt, etc.? If one will look within and think really hard or rather ‘feel’ how they are feeling…..does it (this pain, sadness) ‘feel’ familiar?’  Anything from growing up? (The ‘not good enough’ syndrome) or the wanting someone’s approval (they give you a hard time, and then when you get them…they marry you, or show ‘full commitment), it then becomes, “I would never want to be a member of a club that would have ME as a member,” syndrome. (Not wanting someone who accepts you).

Regret is a tricky emotion…. although one may be unhappy, there still presents the emotion ‘regret’ in addition to the sadness. Regret, therefore is merely not being awake to the knowledge that there is something YOU are sending to YOU, in order to decide what you wish to Be, and what you wish to experience…..What part of your “Light” do you wish to show? There are many forms of your “Light”….Compassion, Tenderness, Loving….and we always think in terms of giving to the other, but it also means, giving to Self. Regret, therefore is a negative illusion which is not part of your Light…therefore, it serves absolutely no purpose. Once we become aware that everything is a gift that WE are sending ourselves for our Highest Good, ‘regret’ disappears!

Then there is a question as to the ‘outcome.’ In other words, the ‘maybe it can still work,’ thought.’ Now, that thought of ‘hope’ is quite ok, as this usually comes about because there has been some length of ‘history’ between the couple. Oftentimes, if middle-aged, feelings of at this ‘age’ you just wish it would work out, so you can live out your life with that part of your life (relationships) FINALLY settled, or “I have given so much TIME to this!” may come to mind.  The truth is, if you really observe what is taking place, does your thought of “still hopeful” come from really loving this person, and wishing for them just so badly, to be in your life, or if you were 23 years old, would you bother with them or someone like them, at all?

Sometimes, we make decisions based on what societal upbringing makes us believe (we are getting older, etc). But what if we still have 50 plus years to live, and we stay healthy and look pretty good, would we truly be ‘hoping something will change,’ so that we may be able to spend the next 50 years with that person?

My intention is to give support and encourage insight so that you will BE HAPPY. That is the only thing we are suppose to “BE” here….HAPPY! Do you remember that? Please remember that! We have nothing to ‘learn;’ we have ‘Only to ‘Remember!’ Think of the word ‘re-member;’ to re connect, to become a ‘member’ again….to re connect to our true essence, God. (This was stated in the Book, “Conversations With God, Book 1,” by Neale Donald Walsch).

The whole point, as presented in the relationship section of Conversations with God, book 1, by Walsch, is that the true purpose of relationships is what we each put ‘into’ them, not take out; that we BOTH are to ‘enhance’ each others’ lives.

Therefore, if you honestly do feel you do enhance that significant others life, and yet, the other person does not, then they are simply not awake to what a relationship’s purpose was truly meant to be.

Do you see the beautiful ‘dance’ a Relationship Really Is? Do They?

If you are unhappy in a relationship right now, you are most likely feeling this way because, one of you is forgetting that part….their part in a relationship…to Enhance the Other. One of you may be demanding the other to Enhance their life, but not doing the same thing they are expecting….that’s usually about the time that you may not feel you are in a ”Love Relationship” at all….and you are certainly correct in feeling that way!! For, it IS a relationship, but not a LOVE Relationship.

It often helps to look into our past Love relationships with others, (or all other kinds of relationships, for that matter!) and if you had not been enhancing their lives at that time, it does NOT mean that you deserve all this suffering now….does that make sense? It just means be grateful that NOW you DO KNOW that Love and Relationships mean something more to you now than they used to…THAT, IS Evolution of your Soul!
Be Happy you now KNOW this; that you are now aware of this!

And….just Be…Be Love to everyone, including yourself, and the kindest thing you may do sometimes, is to stop someone who is NOT being Love, in other words by saying …..’no.’ Stated clearly: “No more abuse or hurt. I bless you on your way.” ” I wouldn’t wish this on my child, so I will not wish it for myself.”  

Another approach, IF you feel you cannot leave this relationship that feels that the ‘unconditional Love’ is much too strong to break away; if you wish to be with this person for the next 50 years, then another thing you can do is to constantly ‘see’ their Perfection as a Light Being of God/Universe, which truly is what they Really Are, and then do all you can do to think only the Good they are…think of anything and everything you can of all the things you completely Love about them, and think nothing else, and see what they show up as….remember, it’s your choice to be whatever you wish to BE in a relationship, and it’s THEIR choice, also.

What I have gotten from various people and life events in my own life is this:

“Does this Bless Me?” For if it does not, it may be best to ‘turn away.’ Only YOU can answer that question by how you are Feeling.

Another possible consideration and observation in a ‘problem relationship’ that may be helpful is this:

We often (and usually) give what they are NOT doing quite a bit of focus; instead of hating what they do, feeling bad, etc.; why not just ‘turn away’ from it?  If you were looking at a menu and you saw foods on it that you did not care for or like, you would certainly not complain or go into detail to yourself or anyone about the hows and whys of you not liking that certain food; instead, you would simply skip over it, (turn away) from it, and not give it another thought again.

So maybe it’s time you ‘do not give either that person, or their negative behavior, another thought. If you are not speaking or seeing each other, let it be YOUR choice, in other words, simply ‘turn away’ from what you don’t like or wish for, rather than a decision based on how much you are unhappy…there is quite a difference.

Remember, we all are on a Spiritual Path to evolving and right now, this is part of your process, and in this case, with that particular person right now..so BLESS it, rather than ‘curse the darkness,’ so to speak. Be Grateful for this ‘life event’ because that is all it is…a chance to heal, to create and become the Grandest and Greatest Version you ever had of yourself….notice I do not mention being a martyr or long time sufferer…just Be Happy.

And once again, if you can’t seem to “be happy” right now, do all you can to feel grateful….for anything you can!

So you read all the books; you go to all the conferences, workshops, and do everything you can to understand and demonstrate how much you wish for ‘help.’

Well Dear Ones, the whole trick to this is that, and I understand it’s sometimes very hard to hear….but here goes….As long as you keep thinking there is something you need to fix, heal, or make better, something will always show up!

To KNOW, in your experience, that you ARE healed, fixed, made better, etc., THAT is when you will experience the healing, the being ‘fixed,’ and the experience of everything ‘being made better.’

For the truth is that the Universe gives you exactly what you are thinking…EXACTLY. So if you keep thinking you need to lose weight, you will keep weight on, so you have something to lose! If you keep thinking AND FEELING that you need to heal, you will keep experiencing the ‘need to heal;’ experiences showing up to ‘require’ healing…..and so on and on it goes.

As stated in the movie “The Secret,” by Rhonda Bryne, its’ exhausting to try and monitor our thoughts; rather be aware of how you are feeling about anything and everything, as that will give you a clue as to what you are thinking.

If you feel bad, you are vibrating negative feelings, and obviously thinking negatively, even if you are not ‘aware’ of it. So, change your feelings about everything, including that you need to ‘get help.’
(Remember to start changing your feelings, think of something to be grateful for…anything you can think of…if you cannot do this, then you are ‘out of balance’ someway, and immediately repeat and state, “I AM IN BALANCE…Mind, Body, and Soul!)

If you DO need help, in that you feel bad, then you are now receiving that help. Know THAT.
Repeat, “I am SO GRATEFUL that I am in balance in my mind, in my body, and in my Soul.” I AM SO GRATEFUL that I am Healed, and that I feel Good. I am SO GRATEFUL FOR being helped right now.

The Universe will respond to THAT statement, immediately.

Remember, the Highest Prayer, is a prayer of Gratitude.

Blessed Be.

Throughout our historical religions, worldwide, we all hear of people either praying for a healing, or showing appreciation for one they have received. So, what exactly IS a healing? We usually think of it as being ‘cured’ of something…in other words, something we ‘had,’ and didn’t want, or didn’t wish to “Be” that behavior any longer, and then, it’s gone. We are then better in whatever way ‘better’ means to us. (Remember, EVERYTHING IS PERCEPTION!)

But Healing, if you really look at it, does not exist! Why? Because in order to be healed, something has to be ‘wrong,’ or ‘bad’ and all THAT is an illusion. Yes, I know, looking around us, thinking of past events in our lives, and the lives of others, it seems sometimes that there is so much that is wrong. BUT, that is not true! The Truth is there is only Love; all else is an illusion that we are creating, to decide what part of our True Selves (Love) that we wish to express.

Therefore, no ‘healing’ can occur, because there is really nothing to heal. All that really happens, when we experience in this ‘dream’ that we are ‘healed,’ is that we awaken to who we Really Are…we become alert/aware, and the ‘false self,’ the illusion part of us, simply drops away.

Healing is more of a ‘letting go,’ rather than a ‘getting rid of…’

The Highest Prayer therefore, to ‘heal’ any situation that one does not desire, is a prayer of “Thanks,” for allowing only Love as our experience…a prayer of Gratitude for our Awareness of Who We Really Are, letting go of any false thought/fear we may be holding as a ‘false truth.’ (Truth, in this case, being something that is one’s belief….True for Them).

The Universe is wonderfully simple….All that is required of Us is really to ‘just breathe.’ To ‘let go,’ and relax into the Love of God that is always there, that we Really Are.

All the rest, we make up ourselves.

A Prayer: “Thank you for helping me to always Remember Who I Really Am, letting go of any false thoughts. Amen (For All).

Blessed Be!

So many Spiritual Masters and Messengers express that the One True Way to God, to being Loving, to receiving, is to be Grateful. Many understand, and are indeed mindful of this practice. More, however, hear the words, mouth the words, but do not FEEL grateful. Still others, may say they are grateful, and do feel it, but truly when asked, WHY this is a “way to God,” honestly answer, ‘they don’t know.,’ or ‘they just know it works.’

Being Grateful places us on a frequency of Love. It is stating to the Universe, “I HAVE ENOUGH,” and the Universe responds, “yes, you DO!” And then proceeds to give you exactly WHAT you are stating you have enough OF and/or, giving you many more reasons TO be Grateful!

But there is still something more to this. WHY? Why does this WORK? Well, in truth, there is only One Being Sitting Here, individualized into billions upon billions of souls, all having a ‘life’ experience,’ in all different forms and dimensions; all vibrating at different ‘frequencies,’ and choosing their next moment of creation….endlessly evolving; some very fast, and some, well, not quite so fast….but All Still Evolving, always, in all ways.

But getting back to the question, WHY? Why does Gratitude work? Why does it ‘produce,’ and ‘create’ when we are stating ‘we are grateful?’ And the answer:

When God/Universe/Energy was first Only existing in it’s purest form, it Just Was. It had nothing to look back on and view it’s own Magnificence. So it decided to individualize itself into many units of Energy, ‘called Souls.’ With this, It could then look at ‘itself’ and Experience it’s own Magnificence. And, thus, to then create, It (God/Universe) would have to ‘call forth’ to “the All that Is” whatever it desired to make Manifest; to ‘Imprint,” so to speak, upon the rest of itself, in order to ‘bring forth,’ any and all desires.

“Thank You,’ therefore, is a Statement of ‘Knowing that it is Already Received,’ for the Universal Life Force (God), has already created Everything and Every possible outcome (Quantum Physics). Knowing this, it is only necessary to “Call Forth” whatever one desires, for it to be made ‘real’ in it’s own life experience. We do this (‘call forth/make real/manifest) by our feelings, and by our thoughts.

“Thank You,” therefore, is the Highest Prayer.

Thank you all, for your kind understanding, knowledge made manifest in your experience, and for choosing a most Magnificent Life!

Blessed Be.

Our feelings, no matter who we are with, or what we are doing, dictate the ‘outcome.’  I finally understand what Quantum Physics is talking about when they state ‘endless’ possibilities’ exist; that ‘everything’ has already been created and done, and is ‘stored’ in different dimensions.

How we ‘experience’ these different outcomes is by our feelings.  We literally ‘feel’ a certain way, and that produces a certain ‘frequency,’ and that frequency attracts the dimension with a certain outcome.  Therefore, if we feel ‘good,’ no matter what we are doing, we get into a dimension that has a good/positive outcome attached. If we feel badly about something, we vibrate at a frequency that produces us ‘traveling’ to that specific dimension that produces a different result for the same situation.

Therefore, it’s all how we feel, and not really what is going on…we are producing what is going on in our lives, all the time with our feelings!
