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!

(After many requests, I am re posting a version of this Realization from last year…a bit updated, but timely for this moment of Now.  Blessings!)

Looking deeper into our religious history of this planet, we will find one thing in common with all ‘worldly’ religions….all praise God. Each has their own traditions and rituals in which to ‘talk’ to God/to pray.

Very few of us have not had some sort of traditional guidance regarding Spirituality, even if it was just that ‘no one would talk about it.’ In other words, we all get some societal message about God.

Looking at One Master, Jesus Christ, it was told that he only left one prayer, claiming it was all we would ever really need, for it was a prayer that originally was not an asking at all; but instead a ‘thanking; a thankful prayer of Gratitude.’

Yes, it was and still is a true prayer of Gratitude. It is “The Lord’s Prayer.”

Many interpretations, in many religions have had their translations of this prayer. I have found this version personally, to be the most clear.

Our Father—ALL LOVE
Which art in Heaven, hallowed be they name—ALL THERE IS, IS LOVE!
Thy Kingdom come; thy Will be done, in Earth, as it is in Heaven—THANK YOU FOR HELPING US EXPERIENCE HEAVEN ON EARTH.
Give us this day our daily bread—THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO ALLOW AND RECEIVE ALL THE GOOD ABUNDANCE THAT IS YOU.
Forgive us our debts—THANK YOU FOR HELPING US FORGIVE OURSELVES WHEN WE ERROR
As we forgive our debtors—THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO FORGIVE OTHERS WHEN THEY ERROR AND HELPING THEM TO FORGIVE THEMSELVES TOO.
Lead us not into temptation–THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO BE FREE OF ALL NEGATIVITY, WORRY, FEAR, DOUBT, DEPRESSION, ANGER, CRITICISM, BLAME, COMPLAINING, AND ADDICTIONS; RATHER THANK YOU FOR HELPING US TO ONLY VIBRATE, THINK,  AND LIVE IN THE FREQUENCY OF LOVE.
Delivering us from all evil—THANK YOU FOR KEEPING US SAFE IN EVERY WAY,   IN OUR THOUGHT, WORD, AND DEED; MIND, BODY, AND SOUL; KEEPING US FREE OF ALL DIS-EASE AND FEAR.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen–THANK YOU FOR THIS FOR MYSELF, AS WELL AS FOR ALL OTHERS ON THIS PLANET, AND ON EVERY PLANET, IN EVERY SOLAR SYSTEM, GALAXY,
AND UNIVERSE.
THANK YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ME AND EVERYONE ELSE TOO. THANK YOU FOR TAKING SUCH GOOD CARE OF ALL OF US.

For what truly blesses one, blesses all!

So often it feels as if we do not have a connection with God. We stress about daily problems, fearful sometimes of impending possible doom upon us even before it happens; thinking so hard about negative possibilities that have not occurred that it often feels as if it has already happened.

To think about the good that can come is often not a thought. We are usually afraid to think positive because we somehow think it cannot be true. Why is that? Why do we go to the negative outcome first?

We come into this world to some degree, asleep; asleep in that we do not remember from whence we have come. We do this on purpose. We create a ‘relativity field’ and literally ‘play.’ We play make believe. We imagine, and then it appears. It does not appear immediately (that happens in a different frequency in another dimension), but we definitely do imagine and create. This ‘playground’ can seem very real at times, and if we allow ourselves to become ‘in the world,’ it can sometimes become very scary indeed!

Hence, the statement, ‘to be in the world, but not of it,’ that is an experience of enlightenment.

Whether it is consciously or unconsciously that we create, depends upon our own personal evolutionary choices.

We create sending ourselves messages in the form of people, situations, and yes, even writings such as these. We are all capable of remembering who we Really Are (Spirit), and we are all capable of receiving the messages that truly come from within.

It is simply a choice.

To remember, therefore, is to make a choice to; to decide to allow that awareness to become your experience.

When Jesus Christ said, “ask and it shall be answered; knock and it shall be opened,’ that was in reference to choosing. Creation is a choice; it is just a matter of whether we do it with purpose, feeling and being aware of what those are.

What is your intention? What is the feeling you are experiencing? That will tell you what you are in store to receive from what you are now ‘creating.’

This is more than thought; this is about feeling. We must actively and on purpose make a choice, and then a decision to Be Awareness. Alowing yourself to ‘remember’ who you Really Are; what you are truly capable of, and in remembrance of the Blessed Being of Light we all truly are is a CHOICE….a choice to be in a state of REMEMBRANCE..

For to Be in that state is to remember that, as Jesus had said, ‘to do this in remembrance of Me,
meaning, when you honor yourself you will choose to remember who you Really Are, and in Being that, you honor God.

….and ‘Heaven On Earth’ is then experienced, here and now.

Blessed Be.

Ever have someone show up in your reality, and you just can’t stand them? They just get to you somehow….they either ’cause you’ to feel anger you, help you to create a ‘nervous’ stomach, or downright just scare you!

These people are Masters whom have come to ‘show you a mirror;’ a mirror of what we are ‘reflecting.’ This in no way is blaming anyone for suffering; it is also not about judgment or trying to make you judge yourself (or anyone else) in any way.

This is all about reflection. (There is a topic called the “The 7 Essene Mirrors,” and you can see more about this if you check this title with author and speaker Gregg Braden on youtube.com for more information). When someone upsets us, it may serve to ask the question to oneself,  ‘are they showing me that which I judge?’

One example of this would be the following: if you value truth, integrity, honesty, and value it to the point that you judge others who do not at this moment display those said qualities, you may be ‘judging’ them in that they do not. This judgment will bring about people and situations showing up in your reality that are displaying these characteristics to you.

Healing the judgment will dissolve these life experiences that may show up in your reality.

By ‘healing’ we must acknowledge we indeed are judging, and open our hearts to dissolving it with Love.

All are blessed souls whom come to us to help us to heal.

All are here to help us to Be, ultimately and consciously, Love.

Blessings!

IN AND OUT OF ENLIGHTENMENT

So many have experienced Enlightenment…and then, they fall back into the world!

This really is all about our ‘Spiritual Health.”  Isn’t that what leads us to Enlightenment?  Or is there something more to it?

Myself, without exception, often allow fear to enter back in. We feel so elated at our
‘Awakening,’ and then, it seems to fade slowly away. It still is always there, but we often have a hard time ‘feeling it again.’

What is THAT all about???

This is a very important time on our Planet. I have viewed other writings that indicate that all the Universal Life Forms are lovingly watching in awe, anticipation, and praying for our ‘Ascending’ to the New Earth. We are already in the “New Earth;” many just do not know it, and hence have not yet experienced it…at least, not for very long. That is what I am referring to when I write of the Enlightened feeling that comes and goes….Our Christed State of Being is inevitable; it is just a question of releasing fear and allowing.

As quoted in the book, “Conversations With God, Book 1,” by Neale Donald Walsch, fear is referred to as really nothing more than, “False Evidence Appearing Real,’ and also states in his more recent book, “When Everything Changes, Change Everything,” a new acronym for fear that would better serve us is, “Feeling Excited And Ready!”

Another acronym I have heard that is very useful is one for SATAN….Seeing All Things As Negative.
(No real ‘being’ here, but rather just another perception that would serve us to change!)

These different ways to look at fear are once again, a matter of perspective…how do YOU wish to view them?

Getting back to feeling “enlightened,” and then it fading, simply means that we are on our way…that this is all part of our Spiritual Evolution.

It is so important to be free of judging ourselves or others. No one is better or more ready than anyone else, for all have their own path and that particular ‘path’ is  perfect for each and every one.

So the next time you feel angry or scared at ‘getting it’ only for a short while, remember that it is most likely (and only presently)  your process;  and that as in school, sometimes you get all the answers correct on an exam, and sometimes you don’t, but eventually you do pass!

We are not in a school; there is nothing to learn (as in school),  but rather we are only here to remember who we “Really Are” (That is another quote from Walsh’s books).  The highest truth is that we are all safe, all ‘Home’ already and it’s just a matter of Awareness to that Truth.

How to ‘become Aware?” Be still; do all you can to stay in the moment of NOW. A few excellent books that are  useful tools  for this process are, Echardt Tolle’s, ‘The Power of Now,’ and ‘The New Earth.’  If you have already read them, reading them again will bring awareness in this moment of NOW that were missed before.

Awareness comes easily to those who desire it.

And that is truly the key…start thinking and feeling ‘Aware’ by choosing to Be that!

Enjoy every moment, whether it’s an ‘enlightened moment or not,’ for all are Sacred Beings of the Universe and all moments blessed. It does not matter what we have done, do now, or will become, for all go back to from whence they came. It may serve one however, to start paying attention to what you are currently thinking and FEELING. And if you are not ‘feeling happy,’ then that is a signal to do what you can to change ‘ feeling bad’ to ‘feeling  GOOD.’  This suggestion is only one path to Awareness and to Enlightenment…there are countless others. How do you know what is right for you? One way is to ask yourself, how does it make you feel? And remember in your Highest Choice, none are ever harmed, but only Loved, including YOURSELF!

We are all safe; we are always Loved.

As the old sayings goes….”Be patient with yourself.”

Love and treat yourself as you would a child that you love;  choose for yourself what
you would choose for your child in the Highest sense of Who You Really Are, and Love will always be your experience, as will “Enlightenment”…..an Enlightenment that will become your permanent reality….an Enlightened State of Being that will stay!

Blessings!

So often we find ourselves thinking of ‘health’ as a physical thing;  if we truly give it a deeper look, we will also view ‘health’ as an emotional state.

However, Spiritual Health is quite different from how we usually view the topic of good health, as we usually see health in more solid, physical terms.

Spiritual Health is really all about BALANCE. We can, as implied in the movie, ‘The Secret,’ by Rhonda Bryne, realize that being ‘Spiritual’ also means being in good health…mind, body, and Soul. For as stated in the movie, ‘you can say you are Spiritual, but if you are ill or poor…well, that is not being spiritual…’, for true and complete ‘Spiritual Health’ is being in balance in all areas.

This statement is not to shame nor to blame. We all are where we are for a reason, and that reason is EVOLUTION. There is only Good. There is constant change, and as Neale Donald Walsch’s book, “When Everything Changes, Change Everything,’ also states, ‘ALL CHANGE IS GOOD.’

Therefore, to have Spiritual Health is to create and keep balance.

One way that works is to enhance our Life Force. We are Energy (as everything is). This list includes all forms of foods. Food is also a life force and is meant to enhance our own ‘separate’ life force as well. (Of course, there is really ‘no separation,’ as there is only one Being sitting here; we are all One! For the sake of our perception of ‘individuality’ I use the term ‘separate.’)

Choosing ‘natural foods,’ (unprocessed) which have the longest ‘shelf life,’ without being ‘preserved’ with chemicals, etc., have the highest life force. An ‘orange’ or an ‘animal product’….which has the longest shelf life? The stronger the life force, the longer the shelf life is, and ultimately, will enhance and balance our own life force.

This article in by no means advocating a ‘vegetarian diet.’ Rather, this article is written with the intention of offering the opportunity in seeing all foods as Energy, and then to make your choice according to enhancing your own life force/Energy.

Spiritual Health brings about an accelerated evolutionary experience. This is the year 2012; everything is accelerated as we enter this Ascension into the New Earth. All are allowed to enter…all will.

For Our Highest Choice, in our Truest and Purest Sense of Who We Really Are, is Love.

Loving ourselves and all others, will bring us into a frequency/dimension/state of Spiritual Health.

This I know for sure.

Blessings!

So many times we repeat our thoughts, and then our deeds, which lead to experiencing the same results, over and over again. Einstein said it best: “The definition of Insanity is doing the same thing and expecting a different result.” Many have heard that statement, but what does it really imply?

It implies “Repetition” at it’s worst. Repetition like everything else, is neither good or bad…it’s how we use it.

We can excel at anything through constant repetition, such as playing a musical instrument, learning a language, etc. But when does it become an experience of feeling insane? When does it start feeling chaotic, confusing, and meaningless?
Repeating the same reaction to a stimuli will cause the same response. We see this in how some reprimand their children, their pets, handle their anger or stress situations. They often do not like the results, but keep repeating their behavior, none the less, and then, once again, experiencing the same end result again, and again, and again. This usually becomes a downhill spiral, until it does not; meaning until an awareness is reached, hence a change is finally noted.

Humans are oftentimes creatures of habit. This does not mean that they like habits, but rather they get into a pattern easily. This works when we are in school, study habits we create to help us excel, etc. But when we continuously do/react to a problem situation using the same tools, or not using any tools, the results are usually the same. That is unless, something else creeps in that changes it enough to render a different outcome. That “something else,” is usually when we say to ourselves, “I have had enough!” That “statement of BEING” literally forces us to make a new decision, and hence a new choice.

This often is quite done ‘unconsciously,’ meaning that we are not aware of what we have just decided, which results in stopping the ‘repetition.’

We may finally start behaving differently to that person, place, or thing that is causing this duress, and suddenly we literally find ourselves in a completely different frame of mind, and ultimately, a different situation.

Thus, the repetition finally comes to an end, and with it a different result that we can then evaluate for efficiency, and problem solving.

Repetition is an important ingredient in our own personal and collective evolution. Repetition brings us clarity until we are ready for a change. We do something over and over again to prove to ourselves that this outcome is assured. It is therefore perfectly OK to continue to do something again and again, even though it may not be working, to display to ourselves what does not work. It is just a matter of how many times you need to go through with this experience/experiment, before you try something else, (hence, before you have declared, ‘you have finally had enough!)

Some feel the need to continue their pattern because they are not aware of a different way to do whatever they are doing/repeating to get whatever result they are seeking. Much of this is due to conditioning from birth, social class, education, ethnicity, life experience, past data of painful experiences, etc. The list goes on and on as to how we think and feel our way through our lifetime.

The whole point is that repetition is necessary and also something that, once we become aware, we will stop in order to expand and grow.

Evolution could not exist without repetition, and yet, there could be no evolution if repetition continues (that is, without change; hence another divine dicotomy). One leads to the other, and yet one cannot exist if the other does continue it’s path.

Therefore, it may help us to consider that when we repeat something over and over again, it may serve to do three things: first of all, watch how many times this situation is occurring; secondly how much there is enjoyment in the outcome, (it is hurting you or someone else to continue this particular path?), and lastly, how does it serve oneself?

If you can honestly take some time to ask and answer these questions, you will automatically change/stop any repetition that is causing a problem in your life…..it all is dependent on your answers. For, with all respect to everyone’s opinion of why we are here and where we are going, our “outcome” is always assured. We are always safe, and there is only advancement. The choice/free will, is how long one wishes to take….how much repetition we allow and for how long.

We all go back to from whence we came; we all are going home….what path we choose, how easy or hard, how long we take, is always a choice, and (as usual)…..up to us.

Blessings!

Violence….an act against Self…to be violent is to forget that you are everywhere, in every form, and truly what you do to another, you do to yourself.

Maybe that is ok with you? Maybe you wish to hurt yourself or someone else…what then?

We all have had times when we wanted to ‘get someone back’ for what they did to us, or what they did to another.

We all have had times when we wished the worst for someone, rather than wishing them well.

We all have had times when we were upset with ourselves, and hated who we were being.

These times we were asleep, and there is no right or wrong to that statement, for when we are sleeping, we know not what we are doing. The same thing goes for those who like to see someone punished or to see someone suffer in the name of ‘being right,’ or just for the sake of seeing that person in pain.

Another form of ‘passive violence,’ is with our thoughts….as when we are not happy for someones’ good fortune or achievements.

There are names for these types of disorders, but all that is an illusion, for we are Pure Love, and some just have temporarily forgotten.

The truth is there is only Love; all else not real. In our reality, everything has already been done. What we feel, we will then be drawn to that dimension, that ‘frequency’ taking us to an experience that matches our feelings. So many outcomes for each feeling we have….

So be mindful, not careful, but mindful….for what you feel, what makes you feel a certain way, will bring that experience eventually to you. (Some have called this ‘instant karma;’ however this is really just the fact that we are all the same energy, so what you do to another, you just are doing to yourself and with our ‘time delay’ in this reality, it appears as if it just takes a bit of time to finally affect you, but it eventually will…that is the Law).

Violence therefore, breeds more violence. Envy, more to envy. Hatred, more reasons to hate. And feelings of violence or fear of it? Well, the experience of violence eventually will find you.

The same with Love.

That is Law….Universal Law. As a Great Master once stated, ‘…what you do to my brethren, you do to me….’

Right and wrong are subjective…there truly is no right or wrong, but what we make it out to be.

Therefore, if you are experiencing violence in any way, whether receiving or giving, change your frequency to love yourself, and all others. The ‘shadow’ in your life is to give you a chance to see your own light.

Remember, in order to experience yourself as being forgiving, you need someone to forgive.

All are Blessed Souls. See no one as ‘villian,’ and see no one as ‘victim’…..this includes youself!

Violence then becomes not only an illusion, but unnecessary to experience ever again, for when
Loving yourself, you will then experience yourself as Love.

For Love needs nothing else; it is without need and is of itself enough.

Love Reflects Love, and that dispels all illusions, including violence.

How to start? Once again, with anything you can think of to feel and live in a Being state of Gratitude.

Blessed Be.

We honor many situations…..from others to the incidents in our history and personal life. We make days, called ‘holidays’ that honor a situation that has occurred or honoring a deed of an individual.

But what is honor? What does it mean to honor someone or something?

Honor is Complete Awareness. All honor comes from more than expectation or belief…it is a Knowing…..a knowing that is indisputable.

To honor our bodies, is to know and provide what is needed for optimum health and wellness.

To honor our mind is to put into it only the Highest Truth, the most positive thoughts, and to take good care of our physical brain, by preventing anything that affects this wonderful ‘creation machine negatively,'(in any way), (such as addictions, ie, drugs, alcohol, nicotine, etc.).

However, to honor our Spirits, we need only to be Aware….of ourselves and all others.

For what we do to another, (As a Great Master once stated), we do to ourselves. And what we do to ourselves, we also do to another. We, by our thoughts, by our Awareness, affect all; every living thing….and so the Universe, being one Being, one living Life Force, is always in a state of pure Honor/Awareness/Love.

Evil is purely from a simple lack of Awareness. The Christ Consciousness is the opposite…. Complete and Total Awareness.

To honor oneself is to honor God, for both are the same. Our pure energy, our life force is God, whatever you conceive God to be. To Honor God, we must Honor Ourselves…in other words, to be completely aware of Who We Really Are.

Both are interchangeable. Both are the same. Love Reflects Love.

Truly there is no other Being sitting here, but One.

We are That.

Love is Peace. We often go through our lives wishing for peace, searching for it, and oftentimes looking for it through another. Peace is a state of mind; it is not found in a person, place, nor thing.

Peace is what the heart feels when letting go of all thoughts of fear. Peace comes from faith that we are always taken good care of, in all ways.

How can we get to that point of feeling that, of being in that Vibrational Frequency of Peace? Gratitude comes to mind, and yet when one feels discouraged or despondent, we somehow just can’t even find one thing to feel grateful for. Immersed in our own little world, we ponder and ponder until that one thought dominates all others, and we feel anything but peaceful.

Many try to maintain or find peace outside of themselves; drinking alcohol, ingesting drugs, both legal and illegal, gambling, having sex without feeling anything…all these are ways outside of oneself that many feel they will find, or can keep peace in their lives.

And yet, it eludes us. Peace usually does not come at all during those ‘artificial’ highs, and if it does, because it was brought about from something outside of ourselves, which is neither permanent, nor even real, it quickly will slip away and once again, we become and experience a state of turmoil or uneasiness; again we continue looking and searching for that one person, place or thing that can bring us everlasting tranquility.

That’s really all we truly wish for….to be happy, loved…peaceful.

The solution is to Be Still. Calming oneself, and at the same time, being aware of what our feelings are showing up as.

Whatever that feeling is, instead of resisting it, embrace it with all the love you can. You are NOT wrong to feel scared, unsettled, abandoned, betrayed or used. You are Love, and all those negative states of being are very temporary and unreal. Breathe in deeply, and just Observe it all. At that moment Peace will uplift you, for you are becoming the Observer, and you cannot be something and observe it at the same time.

Peace will then show up, and stay.

Love, Peace, Goodness…..by being Still, you are being good to yourself; you are giving yourself time to re balance. Love follows, and Peace shows up.

Blessed Be.
