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!

How many of us desire Freedom? Whether it is freedom of choice, freedom from pain, or freedom from emotional trauma or stress, we all feel this desire sometime in our lives.
,
We wonder how we ever got into whatever we are in, to cause this feeling of powerlessness, feeling stuck, (either with a person, place or thing), or the pressure of an unbearable situation; and we usually ponder, fret, or complain about it to everyone we meet…or decide to brew about it, keeping it deep within ourselves.

In either case, it will manifest in our lives, for our thoughts create whether we share them or not…they do, however, create faster when spoken aloud.

Either way, we are creating an outcome and life experience in our reality that feels as if we are trapped, and thus continue to desire Freedom.

This state of Being, this feeling of desiring Freedom merely causes just that…more experiences of DESIRING freedom, but not the experience of Freedom, itself. It, instead causes the experience of feeling trapped, or stuck. The only way to experience Freedom, is to Know you are free, always, and that basically, as the song by the band, “The Eagles,” states, in the song, “Already Gone,” ..’so oftentimes it happens, that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we have the key…”

The “Key” is not thinking we have to make a decision to run, or change things, as many think; but rather, the “Key” is the awareness to deciding a different state of Being.

So many times, we go over in our mind how we can change our lives…live better, change partners, jobs, etc…get more money…in other words, “do what WE want,” and yet, when we ‘get there;’ changing that partner, job, etc., we usually end up still feeling that desire for change, for Freedom.

For the truth is, you are already free, and to experience that, you must view/observe, looking INWARD at what you are really Being at that moment….

Being What? That is for you to decide, and it’s always in relation to any given situation.

The truth is you get to choose, always, and what you choose to Be, determines just how much you will experience Freedom, or the lack of it…

….for Freedom, like Heaven, is truly, not outside of yourself, but Inside.

And once again, what is Inside, will manifest outside, and become your Reality…it is a Universal Law….hence, as within, so without.

Truly, Freedom, like Heaven, is in your Mind.

DIVINE PLAN

How many times have we heard the expression, “…you can’t see the forest for the trees…?” Oftentimes we guide ourselves into a dead end street, or so it feels that way. We plan and fret and wonder, “how did I get HERE?” We cannot yet see the end result of our plan or decision, and worry that we may have made the ‘wrong’ choices.

The reason we feel these feelings, setting a plan into motion, and then FRETTING ABOUT IT, is that we, so to speak, “cannot see the forest for the trees..” In other words, we do not know where it’s leading us; we cannot ‘see that far’ into the future, so we worry, when looking at the results at hand, that it may have not been a good plan, decision, etc. These fears do not come from us…they come from our ‘domestication.’ (For more information on this topic, a wonderful book is, “The Four Agreements, by Miguel Ruiz)

Now, getting back to the subject of DIVINE PLAN, we often have heard terms, such as, ‘cold feet,’ usually used when we are ready to walk down the aisle during that ceremony called marriage, or signing at a closing to purchase a home, pondering whether we should change our career, or quit that job we feel safe but miserable doing. All these changes in our life experience usually accompany feelings of uncertainty, anxiety, frettng, and indecisiveness. All those feelings are not necessary and show up because we are locked into our past experiences, or worst yet, someone else’s past experiences that we have heard about! We fear, fear fear….what if it (whatever terrible scenario you imagine or have heard could possibly happen) happens again, or happens to me…what if I am so sorry I took this path, made that decision, etc.

All worry only causes more experiences of worrying! The solution is to first of all, do everything you can to remind yourself of who you Really Are…You are a Spirit, having a human experience. You are Energy, the most Loving Energy of All, for you are the Spirit of God, created for the whole purpose of discovering and creating who you wish to Be, and it will always serve you to think and therefore, create the Greatest and Grandest version and vision you can of YOU.

How does this all center around the Divine Plan? What the purpose of this Realization is here for is to help you remember that you are always safe, you are Energy and cannot die, ever….you will go back to from where you came, and you will experience Life everlasting…was that not God’s promise, and has been, no matter what religious sect you belong to? Life everlasting, world without End…For God is all Love, and no other promise could be Love, except that one!

To help you “see the forest, for the trees..” simply feel as good as you can, always…seek something to be grateful for, even if it is just that you can read this page today, and your life will not only FEEL safe, but it will BE safe, and all your past ‘conditioning’ of worrying and fretting, will be gone, as it is in the past, and needs to be put to rest.

For when you truly remember you are Spirit, just having this human experience, you will be in Heaven, here on Earth; you will live as The Christ…being in this world, but not of it…and THAT is ‘seeing the forest for the trees..” In truth, every plan is a Divine Plan, for they all lead eventually, back HOME.

ABUNDANCE

Everyone wants MORE…more money, power, time, material things, Love…Wanting pushes everything you WANT away from you….now that sounds scary, but think of what the word “want” actually means…it means “lack, wanting, in need…” In other words, when you ‘want’ something, you are basically saying to the Universe that you lack it, and the Universe will give you exactly THAT experience…the experience of ‘wanting.’

To create Abundance in our life, the first step is to become aware that abundance exists…all the time, all around us, and it is there when we ALLOW it to be our experience. Now, it is understood that we could look around us, looking at all the ‘evidence’ of lack, but that is someone’s else reality and experience; it is created by their thoughts, and the thoughts of the collective consciousness. In other words, an ‘illusion’ of a world that really does not exist, that is temporal, meaning, that it is appearing to be real, but will disappear into the nothing from whence it came.

What is real is God, the Universe, Love, and that is all there is, which means, all there REALLY is, all that will be eternally and forever; that is what Abundance truly means. If we choose to recognize this as Truth, then we know Abundance is always there, all around us, and it is knowing this truth, and being grateful for it, that brings it into your personal experience of your Life. Remember, it is YOUR life experience; therefore, be sure to only include YOUR TRUTH, and only yours. Reason being, many times, many times we allow others and their thoughts of lack to enter into ours, and then we produce lack by ‘default.’ Therefore, keep strong and positive in your personal beliefs and thoughts, and when or if others show up with their limited thoughts or expressions, gently bless them on their way, for everyone is on their own path to enlightenment, their own path back home to God.

How to begin? Once again, Gratitude..find something to be truly grateful for…it is the start of everything good….and the start of Abundance.

PATIENCE

How many of us say to ourselves, “I wish for this NOW!” And yet, we are not seeing the forest for the trees, so to speak. So many times we wish for something to happen, believing that IF we just had this person, place or thing, we would be happy, healthy, peaceful, rich, contented…and the list goes on and on. And yet, when it does come, oftentimes, we realize that it wasn’t THAT important, or more often than not, it really doesn’t matter to us at all; the excitement fading soon after it arrives. And well, when it does not arrive, we persistently think about how it hasn’t arrived; a perfect formula to ‘keep it away.’

From sexual attraction to buying some new clothes, we often want something immediately, and then, when we receive it, usually realize that we are no closer to our dreams of happiness than we were before. Sadly sometimes, even further.

It is in those moments, that we are forgetting that we are Spirit, not matter. It is in those times that if we only will remember that everything, everyone, and all Good comes exactly when it should, when it does arrive, we will enjoy it for what it is…merely something or someone to enhance us, but not to complete us, for we are already complete.

Now that is a hard concept to accept, especially when sometimes it seems things have been hard for so long, or one feels unhappy with their present life experiences for an extended period of time. There are those who claim they have never really ever been ‘happy;’ still waiting impatiently for that moment to come.

The secret to this is to remember that impatience brings more feelings of impatience, and more life experiences to feel impatient about. Like everything else in the Universe, all things come when they are allowed. Feeling impatience pushes what you wish for away, because you are feeling the thought of “I do not yet have it,” and the Universe, being a giant copy machine, so to speak, will then reply with, the same experience; in this case, ‘yes, you don’t.”

To allow into your experience what you wish for, what you are waiting for, you must ‘stop waiting.’ That means to ‘let go,’ and accept that your good is coming, and that you will experience it. It is on it’s way. It is here now.

Always was, always will be…World without end….Amen. For the truth is God is always, and always will be…World without end…and God is abundance, peace, happiness, and Love.

To know this, is to know God. And to know this is to experience a life without lack, patiently accepting all that is your birthright as a true reflection/Spirit of God.

CHANGE

Changes are forever…eternal. Life is Change. So what do you wish to be in relation to the changes that have gone on in the past, are going on right now, and the possible changes that will come in the future? There are many states of Being; Sad, happy, victim, perpetrator, apathetic, intrusive, etc. We all get to choose.

What many do not realize is that your choices place you on a certain frequency. Yes, in other words, YOU place yourself exactly in a position to get MORE OF WHAT YOU ALREADY FEEL, depending on what you decide to BE. So, if you feel Sad, more experiences of sadness from this change will occur; if you feel happy, more happy experiences will come from this change; if you feel victimized, more experiences to feel you are a victim will come to you, etc.

Knowing that Change is Life is important. Deciding what you wish to be in relation to these changes, preferably ahead of time, will save you much heartache and trauma. Now many argue that changes come so quickly, and they merely are reacting to them; that they ‘can’t help it.’ Not true, for with each and every experience comes the opportunity to think before you react. Yes, we are use to ‘reacting,’ without thinking. In fact, most of us do this all the time, blaming our ‘reactions’ on our emotions (and of course, blaming others for our emotions that surface!). Some typical statements, such as, “I can’t help it…,” “I just reacted…,”It’s all YOUR fault,”… “It’s just WHO I AM!” etc., etc., etc.

These statements occur when one is ‘asleep” spiritually.. all incorrect; for we always have a choice. Yes things come fast, and so do our emotions and then our reactions, but that one tenth or so of a second can be prolonged to “think again.”

Practice makes perfect. No truer words have been spoken. We can all do this. It is a matter of deciding to Be Aware. And Awareness IS also a state of Being, and definitely, a choice, as is all of life. What do you choose in relation to this information? That, as everything is always up to you. Make that your priority; always LET it be ONLY UP TO YOU, and no one else.

ENERGY

When one looks at the word ‘energy,’ we usually think of some mandatory science class we had to take in high school to graduate…either that, or we excelled in it, and understand it on a much deeper level. But in this context, it is used to broaden our knowledge of “who we Really Are;’ yes, WE are ENERGY!

If someone asked you, ‘who are you?’ you may reply in many ways. A boy, girl, man, woman, mother, father, etc. You may also start identifying yourself by your profession: doctor, nurse, teacher, technician, etc. But the truth of who you Really Are, is that you are Energy. And so is everything else.

What we know about energy (most likely learned from some high school science class), is that Energy never dies. It changes form, but is never extinguished. Energy also moves through everything, is IN everything, and vibrates at certain frequencies. (Now you probably by now, have some idea as to where I am going with this, if you have been reading this blog!). Therefore, WE cannot die, but we may ‘change form.’ We also vibrate at a certain frequency. Now this part is tricky, as we ‘vibrate at a certain frequency,’ depending on our moods, emotions, etc. In other words, how we are ‘feeling.’

Therefore, to feel good IS essential. And this is not about just ‘feeling good on a physical level.’ No, this is about feeling good, emotionally.

So, how are YOU feeling today? For how you FEEL is bringing you to a frequency that will bring you an experience. And everything on that frequency, you are ‘in line’ to receive, depending on your thoughts, and how intensified they become.

Feel good, and good things come; any other emotion is basically a take off of either feeling bad or feeling good…

…and as always, YOU get to decide.

LOOKING DEEPER

The Lord’s Prayer, it is said, was the only “writing” or actual word that was left by Jesus when he gave his “Sermon on the Mount.”

It makes no difference whatever your religion may be, whether you believe or do not, the following is a version/translation of that prayer,that may help you today (that is the only intention):

Our Father whom art in Heaven (All Love)
Hallowed be they name – (Love is all that exists)
Thy kingdom come – (Help us to experience Love)
They will be done – (Help us live only in Love)
On Earth as it is in Heaven – (As the Absolute is only Love, help us to experience Love as is our natural state while in our physical structures)
Give us this day our daily bread – (to accept the Abundance that is always there)
And forgive us our debts – (help us to forgive ourselves)
as we forgive our debtors – (and to see everyone as connected – One Mind/One Spirit, as US, therefore forgiving them also)
And Lead us not into temptation – (keep us free from fear)
but deliver us from evil – (help us to always remember who we Really Are, being free of being anything less than that)
for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever – (All there is, all that matters, all power, all that ever really exists, forever, is Love)

Amen – (For All)

Does it matter the translation or whom gave it, if the message is Love? What really matters, the whole reason for being, is to decide what you wish to Be in relation to everything, everyone, and every given situation and experience. Some will embrace this translation; others may be appalled by an interpretation that dares to ‘interpret” it.’

The intention is only to make Truth simple….because the Truth IS simple.

It is time to awaken from this dream of fear, judgment, and sadness. Unless it is not. Only you get to decide.

Remember….it’s all choice. And what WILL you decide to be in relation to your life experiences today? Gratitude, happiness, Joy, Fear, Anguish, Condemnation… or Love?

SPIRIT

The Spirit/Observer, who we Really Are, just watches, patiently waiting for the mind and body to have their way, until they are ready to have a ‘higher experience.” (Spiritual Experience equaling JOY, LOVE, etc.)

The Spirit will always allow the mind and body to have their way because IT (GOD) knows that mind and body is just temporary, and that only Spirit lives forever. So, we may go about our lives, eating the wrong foods, not exercising, having our addictions, and all the while the Spirit waits; patiently and Lovingly waiting for us to ‘return Home.” This could be in the form of passing on, or just plain ‘waking up,’ and experiencing the Grandest and Greatest Version of ourselves, in our physical structure…..Christed.

And in the end, we all go back to from where we came….Home/God/Love.

EGO

We always think about psychology when we think of the Ego. But the Ego is more than a term…it is the “false” perception of who we THINK we are. It is the “I” in the sense of thinking we are separate from everyone else. It is the reason for all the suffering in the world, and the suffering we oftentimes experience within ourselves, for it is stating an untrue theory about who we are; namely, that we are not connected to anyone or anything. This is a lie; a preconceived notion, based on our ‘domestication’ within a society, and our perception, which is based purely on our 5 senses.

It is quite alright to view the world in this way at certain times, for it is when we view the world with only our 5 senses that we get a ‘personal’ experience, such as falling in Love with one special person, accomplishing a goal, having a wonderful dinner, etc. But it is when we make decisions, excluding everyone else, regarding decisions that really do have an effect on everyone else, that we suffer. It is when we lie, manipulate or do something that we know is really not the ‘best’ for us. For it is then that we cause pain for ourselves and others. And, on some level, since we are all connected, we do eventually suffer someway. It may be in the form of a guilty conscience (if we are somewhat aware!) or worse so, when “bad” things happen to us, and we “just can’t figure out how it happened!” (completely ‘unaware!)

All this is because we are in our “Ego State,” forgetting who we Really Are, which is a Spirit having a Human Experience. Now the big thing about this is that you probably now think, “I cannot make my life revolve around everyone else’s needs…,” and you are correct. That is not what is being stressed here. It is doing what is necessary for the grander good, meaning doing what is best for YOU. Seems like a complete contradiction, but if you look at this a bit more deeply, you will find that what is good for all, IS what is good for you! And in so doing what is good for you, you are doing what is good for all….(remember, we are all connected…that is what Jesus meant when he stated, “what you do to my brethren, you do to me.” …

….the whole point is to ask yourself just one question….”what would Love do now?” If you think this is about loving someone else, it is not…it is about Loving YOU. By loving yourself and doing the most loving thing for you, IF you are choosing the HIGHEST decision, is always beneficial to all those around you. For example, if you take good care of yourself, keeping yourself happy, you will be there to help others. You will ‘literally’ spread joy wherever you go. Doing things for others then, is never a chore when you are feeling good and feeling happy. Nothing is a problem. When you understand that all there is to share is Love, and the more we share that love, and act FROM LOVE, the more we have to give, you will experience Heaven on Earth.

Now, what to do with those ‘individuals’ who do not appreciate or return the Love to you….? Well, Jesus did not heal the whole world, remember? Why? Because they didn’t ask! Not all are ‘awakened’ to who they Really Are (Spirits having a human experience). They are still caught up in their Ego. Jesus only helped those who were ready…who asked for assistance or help. Remember, a “Master” knows never to intrude. It does not mean you abandon someone, especially if you feel you are in a situation that you cannot leave…such as a spouse, parent, child, etc. However, when someone does not return Love, or tries to take without giving back (in other words, they are caught up in their Ego, thinking they are separate from you) , would you wish this experience for someone you Love? No, you would not…so do not wish it for yourself by staying with an experience that does not bring you true Love and Joy…not ever. It will not help that person evolve, nor will it help you aspire to the greatest and grandest version and vision of who you Really Are. This is when you must be in the world but not OF IT. Go about your life, live your vision of what you wish to experience, and LET THEM BE. Do NOT INTRUDE. You do not have to comply or continue to be used or victimized. Just BE….be anything you wish, and do not allow others to INTRUDE on you. This may mean distancing yourself, but that may be the most loving thing you can do for yourself, and it will give that Soul a chance to evolve, i.e. to be accountable and responsible for THEIR decisions.

It is not as difficult as it sounds. Any time you have a decision, just ask yourself, “what would I tell my child to do if they were in this exact situation?” The right answer will always come, even if you do not have children, nor ever have. Why? Because your Soul, which is Spirit, knows all, and knows the correct answer, and since your Spirit is Love, it will always give you the Highest Truth about who you are and what you should do, based on LOVE. The answer is once again, to Love yourself, and since you would not wish your child (whom you Love) to experience being taken advantage of, victimized, or suffering in any form, you would always choose the most loving decision. Then, and this is the hard part for many, FORCE yourself to do this for YOU. That’s right, whatever you would tell your child, do this for YOU. Remember, you must place yourself in the same group of people you Love. For you Love your child UNCONDITIONALLY, and to Love yourself the same way, would always lead you to the most beneficial decision for you, and for all.

Remember, the truth may not be liked, but will always be accepted. Doing the most loving thing for you, will always benefit all. The big question of the day is “what is the most loving thing/decision for me?” That depends on your evolutionary process.

But remember…It is always the Highest most grandest, greatest version and vision you have of yourself..nothing less.

Always, in all ways. And THAT decision will never hurt anyone…including yourself!

Not Ever! Once again…

Love is reflected in Love.

LOVE

Love is the highest vibrational frequency of all. In the law of Quantum Physics, everything vibrates at a certain frequency….emotions are included, which is Energy In Motion. That is why, when you walk into a room, you can literally “feel” Love, or Fear, or something in between. Whatever vibrational frequency you are in, you will meet other people, situations and experiences that also vibrate at that frequency. And that is why it is so important to be in a ‘vibration’ of Gratitude. The vibration of gratitude uplifts one to the vibration of Joy, and then into the vibration of Love. Therefore, with Love being the highest vibrational frequency of all, it is the vibration of “God.” The quotation, ‘all things are possible through God,’ therefore translates to, ‘all things are possible through Love.” All things are possible through Gratitude and Love. Staying in the vibrational frequency of Gratitude, Joy, and Love, will place you in that frequency, where all things of the same frequency will come to you; experiences that bring you more to be grateful for; experiences that bring you Joy; experiences that bring you Love…it is the Law.

And Love is reflected in Love…
