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!

When we misunderstand, which for the most part, usually implies that we did not get what was said (‘get’ meaning the true communication of an idea, feeling, etc.) we usually blame the other. We feel many things in relation to this: we may feel embarrassed, angry, guilty or confused; in other words, all negative emotions. Our ability to understand is endless, as we are unlimited…so what gives?

Why are we ever in the mode of a misunderstanding if we are truly LOVE?

The answer is AWARENESS. We sometimes will block our good through fear and a lack of awareness (which really implies being ‘unconscious’).  We do this as part of our path, and the path of that person we have misunderstood. Yes, we DO this as a way of EVOLUTIONIZING on a Spiritual Level. We cannot have good without bad, or up without down, or hot without cold; hence, we cannot understand often until we have at first MISUNDERSTOOD. We do this for clarity, realizing, and to produce a closer connection, which is always another way to eventually experience and show Love.

We oftentimes will go to extremes to communicate that we have been misunderstood or feel misunderstood, and at first it may appear to be very negative, indeed. We may show anger, disconnect, non-compliance, etc., all to prove how misunderstood we feel. We also may give someone the ‘cold shoulder,’ hoping they will somehow notice a change and ASK what the problem may be in our difference in mood or demeanor. And usually, unless we truly make an effort, things will not get better, until ONE or BOTH decide to be LOVE.

The first thing to remember (and I mean this literally, to RE-MEMBER; to become a member once again), is to realize that a person may mean something other than what they just did or said. A better way to accept this is to know that no one really wants to be misunderstood or viewed as being thoughtless, inconsiderate, or rude. It is therefore, a lack of awareness on the part of the one being misunderstood as well as the one suffering because they are both feeling the result of that negative comment or abandoning action. Both must awake/become aware of the situation, and discuss how they are feeling, for FEELING is everything. Our feelings bring on life experiences and those life experiences become our LIVES!

If there is a misunderstanding it is important to address it with that other, and for that other to listen with their heart/with an awareness of whom that person means to them, and how much the relationship means to them also. What they both decide to be IN RELATION to the situation is what “RELATIONSHIPS” are meant for, and why they are sacred, for without them, we are not, meaning that we experience ourselves through what we decide to be in every grand moment of now, and you cannot decide to be anything in such a grand and magnificent way as completely, as when you are in a relationship with another. (For more information on this subject, please read the book, “Conversations With God, Book 1,” by Neale Donald Walsch.

Therefore, when misunderstood, or feeling victimized due to a misunderstanding, remember that this is a wonderful opportunity to decide who and what you wish to be in relation to it.

And as always, for the best outcome and fastest way to solve any problem, the most highest to be in relation to anything is always Love.

Blessings!

Truth feels free. It IS FREEDOM. When we do not tell the truth, or rather, OUR TRUTH, we do not get a chance to evolve or help anyone else.

But there is so much more to this! BEFORE telling the truth, make very sure it is YOUR REAL TRUTH; in other words, YOUR HIGHEST TRUTH, and remember, the HIGHEST TRUTH is always LOVE. It never feels fearful, nor does it bring fear to another.

Therefore before making a decision, in being honest (which hopefully means that you are in touch with your FEELINGS), make sure that your decision is based on consciously CHOOSING THAT TRUTH, (the one you wish to express to represent WHO YOU WISH TO BE). For the only real Truth is what we decide.

So always tell the truth; that is not the issue. The important part of any truth is that one must make sure that whatever is decided as to what your truth is, must be YOUR truth and only yours; in other words, that your truth/belief/perception that you tell as YOUR TRUTH, is what you indeed REALLY WISH TO BE.

And of course, the HIGHEST TRUTH, is always based on Love.

Blessings,
Ellen

Do you remember the saying, ‘…to get to the fruit of the tree, sometimes you have to go ‘out on a limb…?’ How many times have we been told this in relation to our being afraid to undertake something that is considered a gamble? So many of us withdraw out of fear of being damaged, hurt or because we just don’t wish to take the chance of losing something or someone.

In truth, there is ‘no losing.’ We are always safe. HOWEVER, it sure doesn’t always feel that way. We scheme, plan, and often stress at possible outcomes that never come to pass…all because we ‘worry’ that we may ‘lose.’ Worrying, however, is actually ‘praying for what we DON”T want!’

We are basically creating the outcome we may dread or stress over, only because when we worry, we are focusing on what we DO NOT want, rather than what we wish for.  According to Universal Law, what we feel and focus on (and think about) manifests. Therefore, to be consistently afraid about a particular outcome is to eventually bring that outcome directly into our experience.

The term ‘Out on a Limb,’ now shows up with a greater meaning, for searching deeper, we find that going out on that limb means more than being brave. (Remember, bravery doesn’t mean you aren’t afraid…it just means you do it anyway!). What it really implies when viewing this term metaphysically is that to get what we truly wish for, one must place attention on what they WANT/wish for, rather than what they DO NOT WANT/not wish to experience.

It means coming up with the same answer again and again and again, which is:

“ENERGY FLOWS WHERE ONE’S ATTENTION GOES.”  For the truth is this:  going out on a limb (focusing on what we wish to experience, is what produces the ‘FRUIT’ on that ‘tree’…..to go out on a limb to get to the fruit of the tree is to focus our attention on what we want, which produces our dreams becoming our reality.  Remember, going ‘out on a limb,’ means putting your attention ONLY ON AN OUTCOME YOU WISH TO EXPERIENCE.

Remember, we ALWAYS get what we focus on…both bad and GOOD!

Which brings us to another saying, (for another ‘Realization,’ at another time), which is this:

‘Whether you think you can or can’t…either way you are right.’ —Buddha

Our society is geared towards keeping our youth. Money and time is spent, and of course, anguish over the fact that we do not ‘look’ the same as we have earlier in our lifetime. We view pictures of times past and often wonder, ‘how did we become this?’

Our truth is that we are timeless. We appear to have aged basically because we believe we are suppose to do so. Hard to take responsibility for that statement, but nevertheless, if one does a bit of research, there is undisputed proof that we literally create our bodies anew, every 7 years or so.

We do so with our THOUGHTS and FEELINGS. Therefore, if you have aged or have (or are) experiencing ill health, it is because you are presently carrying the same thought about you, which is being ‘not at ease.’

As stated in the movie, ‘The Secret,’ by Rhonda Bryne, we have created our bodies through our thoughts and we do this with our feelings about ourselves. We demonstrate both ill health and perfect health by this method of creation.

Everything that shows up on the ‘outside’ of ourselves is really all about what is really going on with the ‘inside.’ Our perception of our reality; how we are treated, and what we decide to be about that brings upon endless possibilities, to which we ‘choose’ with our feelings and thoughts; thus experiencing that particular outcome.

We most often do this without realizing it. We blame other people for stressing us; we dwell on situations that are difficult to handle; or we complain about our society for providing too much stress to exist; we even point our finger at the government for altering our foods, causing a host of problems on a health consciousness basis.

The truth is that EVERYTHING is a result of our thoughts, and as Buddha has stated…”whether you think you can or can’t…either way you are right.” The same holds true for aging and youth, for whether you believe you are old or young; sick or well……either way you are right.

Love, which is all healing, all Good, and all there REALLY is, is what we truly ARE. When we Love, we literally create good health and youthful regeneration throughout our entire state of Being.
When in Love, changes happen immediately. They take on the form of affecting our physical structure, but most importantly, Love changes us from the Inside—-Out, by changing our ‘mind/our perception’ of our world, which gratefully, changes everything.

May your journey bring you to a place that presents the opportunity to Be Love….All good becomes your experience at that moment, including a healthy youthfulness to your step, to your walk…to your life.

Blessings!

So much of our information regarding metaphysics is based on our ‘thoughts.’ While it is true that our thoughts do create our reality, there is one step (prior to that process) that has been overlooked. This step missed (or not included in much information that has been published) is all about our “FEELINGS.”

For those who have read the book, (or have viewed the DVD)  of ‘The Secret,’ by Rhonda Bryne, in the very last scene, she is writing in the sand the words, ‘Feel Good.’  Many missed this important message.

In another extraordinary book entitled, “When Everything Changes, Change Everything,” by Neale Donald Walsch, the process of creating our ‘feelings,’ is being addressed as the basic ‘kick-starter’ to the creation of our reality.

Basically our prospective of a situation starts; this shapes our perception of the world, which leads to an emotion, producing a feeling. Our feelings then become our thoughts, bringing attention to a certain outcome, and hence, bringing forth our ‘reality.’

Because of this knowledge, what is most important (and such GOOD NEWS TOO!), is that we do not have to monitor our thoughts (that would be exhausting!). Rather, to accomplish the art of ‘consciously creating’ is to be aware of our feelings. (A wonderful CD by Abraham-Hicks, entitled, “Money and Abundance,” addresses the issue of how we create with our feelings in wonderful detail!)

We have an ‘automatic’ barometer or ‘GPS,’ within. Basically our feelings about anything tell us ‘where we are going,’ in terms of creation and the outcomes we are to experience IF we keep feeling a certain way. Feeling good? Keep feeling that and more things to feel good about will show up. Feeling bad? Do all you can to change that, as more things to feel bad about will start to manifest if you stay on that ‘frequency.’

As Michael Beckwith mentioned in the movie of ‘The Secret,’ by Rhonda Bryne, thankfully positive thoughts and feelings are infinitely stronger than a negative
thought. So, no need to worry, as in this realm, there is a ‘time delay,’ and as long as you change that bad feeling to a good feeling, the outcome will change in accordance with ‘your song.’

Awareness is everything. Be aware of all your feelings, and the quickest way to change any negative feeling or emotion or thought? Once again….Gratitude.

Blessings!

So many run through their lives giving time to no one in particular, including themselves. They may think as they follow situations that occur that they are in the flow, but this thought keeps them from blocking out all good, all abundance, all health…all Love.

As the Master Jesus Christ stated, ‘Be in the World, but not of It…’ When connected to Spirit/Love, then one is truly ‘in the flow;’ the flow of life, to where our true abundance lies. Why? Because we are THAT!

As we go through our day, as we connect to Love, whether that means a person, place or thing (or better yet, by our feelings), we are then connected to the Flow, and this is the Secret to All Good.

Being truly in the flow means we are connected to Love. When connected (aware; feeling joyful) all opportunities abound….all good. How will you know when you are ‘in the flow?’ Joy, elation, and feeling good become your experience.

You will know you are not ‘in the flow’ when you are too busy to call or connect to someone you Love; when you put off doing something nice for yourself or another; when you think, ‘I must run for the money, in terms of allowing others to dictate your time and day—any reactionary decisions are not in the flow.

Being Love and connected to Love is the true flow of Life, and when in alignment with that frequency everything does truly FLOW, matching a frequency of how you are feeling.

As stated, ‘Everything is Energy and that’s all there is to it. Match the frequency of the reality you want and you cannot help but get that reality. It can be no other way. This is not philosophy. This is physics.?

Who wrote this?……..ALBERT EINSTEIN!

I have recently experienced the transition/death experience with my dear husband Frank this past January 23, 2013. Aside from the emotional aspect of it, it was an experience that has enhanced me as a Soul on their journey.

My darling passed after living with Leukemia for the last 13 years. He was diagnosed during our dating in 2000. Thankfully, he was well until last year, and with his passing now, I have realized how grateful I am for the moments I had with him.

The ‘death’ experience, as we call it, is not death at all. The consciousness expands to the point that others in different dimensions are then seen by the one whom is transitioning. During this process, which Frank had called it himself when symptoms of ‘death’ first began, he saw his father, and then later on within a few hours before his passing, told me he saw 6 people standing in the room with us. I asked if he knew them, and he replied, “nope,” with a touch of curiosity and a bit of anxiety, as it was so new to him, (and probably, because I could not observe what he was seeing).

He spoke constantly during the last stages, even while he was free of all drugs for those last 8 hours. He talked in conversations that he had throughout his life, and in all stages of his life. He would then come back to full consciousness as soon as I called his name or asked him a question, apologizing for his somewhat temporary conversations with others in what seemed a different dimension.

When the pain got severe, after almost 7 hours of drug free processing/transition, he asked me if it was ok to get some morphine to ease his pain, and again, told me he was sorry but could not go through anymore suffering. I immediately told him I was perfectly fine with his decision, and he gently passed while I held him in my arms.

I do my best to ‘feel’ him around me….I miss him so much. I have meditated and have experienced his presence. I have also heard messages from him, (during meditation/prayer in my ‘minds eye…’ to which I was ‘told’ that he does not miss me, as I am with him, and that what we do not realize is that when one passes, all Souls that are loved, (whether still ‘alive’ or passed on) are with the departed ones; he also mentioned that what we also do not realize is that our Souls are so BIG, that as we transition, our consciousness expands. He told me to “LIVE, LIVE, LIVE,” and that when I grieve and cry, he feels it, and cannot/will not leave, until I am ok.

I am comforted in knowing that he is still living; just not as we know it.

I am doing my best to be happy, so that I can live, as he asked of me, and that he can also then live as he wishes, too.

May this article serve all those whom are grieving, and for those to appreciate all those we love, whom are still, thankfully, here in this dimension with us.

Blessings!

St. Valentines Day….a day that we as ‘humans’ have created to celebrate LOVE! Many are disillusioned with this day because they feel it is just another way for the card, candy, and florists to take advantage. But what about the fact that cards, candy, and flowers help us to feel GOOD? Isn’t it perfectly ok for a business to flourish, and in doing so,  helping others to feel happy?

I realize that some people buy all these things out of obligation, and that is NOT LOVE. There are relationships that are put to the test, challenged, or worst yet, completely broken over one of the partners not being ROMANTIC on this day. Ignoring a loved one, on a day dedicated to LOVE for the most part, feels hurtful. Those that say ‘it’s just another day,’ most likely feel that about other holidays as well, but especially about this one….why? Usually it is because the Magic/Love has not been felt in that particular relationship on all the other days of the year…so why should this one be any different, is their logic?

It feels hypocritical to celebrate a day that one is to honor Love and that special person, when the feelings are just not there, or there IS LOVE, but its been covered by fear, doubt, criticism, or anger.

Love is Love; true Love is unconditional and always there. And it is true, it is patience and kindness.
But how to get to that place again?

Let it be said that those that do not wish to honor this holiday, need healing LOVE most of all. If someone does not feel like this day is special, it is only because they are not feeling very Loving, and giving Love is the answer. To love someone whom seems to be unlovable is what Love really is, because we are THAT. We are Love, and Loving someone brings that manifestation to their reality.
It is “Namaste…” …(honoring the divinity that is in you, that is also in me…’)

And what happens when you give Love? It is returned to you (if not by that person, then another, or just helping someone feel special is often enough for someone who truly loves to be enhanced someway by that giving of Love).

This day IS just like any other day….what we wish to BE IN RELATION to it, is once again, always
our choice.

Blessings for a most Loving Day!

Money issues; money problems…how many say, “I have enough?” Just the connotation of saying such a thing oftentimes causes fear, as once one states that, they usually think, “Oh no…now someone is going to ask me to SHARE! And…I have enough for me, but not everyone else…”

That thought alone; that FEELING of “I don’t have enough..” starts that experience coming right to you!

“Allowing Money” means to basically ‘let it happen.’ Its already there. Now for some that is a very hard concept to understand. The reason is that we don’t ‘see it,’ AND that usually means in our own bank account. Yes, we may see it in other peoples’ lives, and usually feel envious or at the least, we start asking ourselves, “WHY not me?” “Where’s MINE?”

Everything vibrates at a certain frequency, ALWAYS, in ALL WAYS; we too are included.

Vibrating at a frequency of ‘where is it?’ implies we do not yet have it, and we then live that experience of ‘not having.’ Allowing Money is all about FEELING. Yes, that is what it is; even before a thought! Feeling leads to experience!

So now you may ask, “HOW DO I CHANGE HOW I FEEL?” How I FEEL, is how I feel and that’s it!”

The answer is to perceive money a different way. Let’s start with this question: Why do we wish to have a lot of money? If you answer, as most will, to buy things, to have things, to help someone else have things and/or buy things…to feel secure, then that is the reason money is not always there. To clarify this statement, the term, ‘to want,’ implies a statement of lackt, for ‘wanting’ is to lack something, such s ‘wanting in manners…’ The purest reason we should really wish to have money is to show gratitude for what we have received; in other words, to exchange money for a service. Yes, I know you may wish to give to others, just because you wish them to be happy, or to take care of them, etc., but the real reason money was first even ‘created’ in our society was to pay for a service.

How many of us receive a bill and am THANKFUL for it? Bills come and the usual response is, “Oh no…another bill!” Some even HATE bills! Yes, that is because we are not being grateful for what we have received to have the bill sent to us. (And, this even holds true for people who have more than enough money to pay the bill!) 99% of bills are sent AFTER we receive the service, product, etc. Whether someone comes in to clean our home, repair our car, provide water and other utilities…why even eating food in a restaurant, (at least a sit down restaurant), many never stop to think that that person/company deserves to be given to, in return for what we have received.

GRATITUDE…it is the KEY to RECEIVING. As Rhonda Bryne mentioned, in her latest book, The Magic,” the physicist Issac Newton stated, ‘for every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction…’ Therefore, one must GIVE THANKS, to RECEIVE more.

And to FEEL grateful for that service, allows more money to pay that bill.

Stating “thank you,’ for the money; even writing ‘thank you,’ on a bill, is a wonderful way to ALLOW MONEY. (another idea from that same book, ‘The Magic,’ by Rhonda Bryne!)

The moment one is truly grateful for the services provided, the more money we will ALLOW.

That is a Universal Law. Once again, all abundance is basically a thankfulness and that statement of gratitude, replays in our life, once again, as Abundance, MONEY, or whatever else you feel abundance is; there are many forms of abundance: Good health, Good Friends, Good Food, and of course….
….MONEY! All GOOD; ALL GOD!

Blessings!

Looking around? Searching for that special someone? Doesn’t matter what gender, age or preferences you may have, the vast majority, and well in fact, really everyone, on some level, wishes for Love in their life.

We are talking here about the ‘Love Experience.’ We all have a different conception of what Love means, is, and can be. We have heard or have first hand experiences of ‘conditional Love,’ relationship Love; Love for brother, sister, mother, father, etc. We may also experience Love for country, state, hobbies….the list can and does go on and on!

The experience of Love is usually the experience of feeling first we don’t have it, then we do. In other words, we are searching to ‘fall in Love,’ so to speak, for when we do, we feel a sort of ‘Spiritual Health.’ These feelings include, (but are not limited to the following): our step is lighter, sometimes feeling we are literally walking on air; our world seems brighter, and we treat everything and everyone we meet with a new found patience and kindness. Yes Love for another, does this for us and seemingly, TO US!

Why does this happen? Can Love really not be there and then appear? Is it something like a fire, that seems to come from nowhere and then go back to nowhere? We have all felt that feeling of Love, only for it to flee. That usually happens over something said or done that shocked, hurt, or disappointed us, and then we seem to return to ‘normal;’ in other words, that magical, top of the world feeling is gone.

The truth is this:  Love is always here—NOW. That ‘feeling’ that we feel when we ‘fall in Love’ is the Truth of Our BEING; WE ARE THAT! And Love is all around, always there. (As the Master, Jesus Christ said, ‘I am with you onto the end of Time…’) Therefore, falling in Love is just ALLOWING THAT FEELING;  in other words, allowing LOVE to enter into our experience for IT IS always here NOW.

The whole point of this article is to address the idea of ‘falling in Love.’ Yes, we are ‘falling;’ falling into another dimensional frequency. But not ‘arriving,’ as some would think. We are merely ALLOWING. When we are not happy in Love any longer; when we feel sad, disappointed, or merely as if we ‘fell OUT of Love,’ it is because we have pinched ourselves off from that frequency. The truth is that it is always still here. Why? Because that is REALLY all there is! There is only Love…all else, an illusion.

And therefore, to be more concise regarding ‘FALLING IN LOVE, we actually ENTER that dimensional frequency; in other words, we MATCH that frequency that LOVE ALWAYS IS, and then we experience what is always there.

We do this by OUR FEELINGS. We literally transform into a different vibrational frequency (in this case LOVE being the highest vibrational frequency of all) and when we match that with our feelings, we feel the magic that LOVE IS.

That is the reason it is so important to only enter into a relationship with the intention of what we can give, rather than what we can get. When we choose to ‘enhance’ the other, we are helping them to feel good, and that leads to both entering into that frequency to which LOVE is experienced. If we become self-centered, and only strive to be with the other for what we can get, we literally are pinching ourselves off, as being self absorbed is separation, which is a form of fear, and that prevents us from entering into a frequency of Love. (and if the other feels neglected or unloved, they also drop out of that frequency) because we are not focused on Unity, but on separation.

Some say they enjoy their solitude. They have lived so long alone, that they have little tolerance for another on a continual basis. While our society gives us the message that there is strength in ‘being able to be alone,’ the truth is that because we are LOVE, we only wish to unite; to BE with another. Sex is really a metaphor for Sexual Energy eXchange. It’s an expression of UNITY. And aside from the physical pleasure which is very temporary (meaning only for that specific moment), the true reason we wish for sexual contact, in the purest sense is to be united, once again, with Divinity. The feeling of Oneness IS our natural state, as we are All One.

To Love therefore, and to fall in Love is to unite, for that produces the experience of Love.

And when we Love another, it is the HIGHEST EXPERIENCE OF LOVING SELF, for as stated over and over again….WE ARE ALL ONE.  (and hence, the statement of “if you cannot love yourself, you cannot truly Love another…” for there is ONLY YOU!)

Therefore, there is no ‘falling in Love;’ there is only “ALLOWING LOVE INTO OUR LIFE EXPERIENCE…” Once again, all choice….and please remember,  ‘taking responsibility for all of it means we can change, at least, some of it!’

Blessings for a most Joyous and Loving New Year! Happy 2013!
