Admission of Victory
Belief in thoughts of lack is an admission of defeat. Specifically, thought trained on scarcity confines your energy of awareness to a mental construct whereby perception of scarcity is amplified in your experience; and in every moment that you believe such thoughts, you are being led by the mind toward the experience of physical 'proof' that there is not enough (money, time, love, talent, knowledge, etc) for fulfillment of your desires.
You are an inherently victorious being, for which everything you believe becomes truth within your perception of this creative environment - while no belief can ever define or identify you. Indeed, all desires projected out of your energy of awareness are being fulfilled right now - as modified to accommodate the beliefs you hold in contradiction to those desires.
All struggle, suffering and feelings of defeat are manifestations of existential ignorance, brought about by belief in that which is energetically dissonant to the essence of 'who you are'. However, in the moment your energy of awareness returns to focus on the Truth that underlies all 'truths' made out of belief, ignorance is immediately absolved along with perceptions and feelings of ignorance.
Getting to know the voice of scarcity by its feeling and associated breath pattern will give you conscious overview of lackful thoughts as they are playing in your awareness. In this way, space is being allowed by you, within which you may consciously discern which thoughts are true for you.
Through attention, it eventually becomes obvious that the only thing to admit is victory because that is closest to the Truth of who you are.
Your Will is The Will of God
Your will is the will of God, indeed your consciousness is God. While you can only know egoic will while entranced within the mind, you can intuit the Will of God through conscious overview of thinking and feeling.
The ego (energy of fear) is asserting authority of mind over your energy of awareness whenever you think or speak the words 'I have to', 'I need to', or 'I must'.
There's no-thing that needs to be done. Really! The breath of life sustains your being, and the movement of thought determines your state of being - out of which action emerges.
It's up to you and only You to allow your energy of awareness to be attuned to your will (God's will) by staying focused on the Truth of who you are, no matter what you think is expected of you.
You are invited to recognize the words of egoic will, along with the associated feeling response, let go of the idea that anything needs to be done, and notice the shift in feeling.
That shift is your energy of awareness being lifted out of mental construct.
From this lighter, more sensory perspective, you can perceive which movement serves you (God) instead of egoic mind. Even if you do nothing physically, you are always directing the movement of thought, and with conscious attention to that movement, much progress can be made whether or not any physical movement is involved.
Movement that is true to the One who knows what glorifies All is a pleasurable experience, totally detached from any outcome or personal attainment. This delivers your energy of awareness to the flow of abundance and grace, where you may remain focused as long as you stay alert and keep choosing the direction of thought that's 'right' for you.
Creative Direction
Because the totality of ‘what IS’ evolves according to the movement of collective thought - whatever you perceive is your offering or ‘service’ to All. Your doing is only secondary - it's a more reactionary thing - something you can't help - it just emerges out of perception (which is the culmination of all experience up to the present moment).
Take a look at what you’re against, what you want to eliminate, what you are afraid of, etc.. These are the things the unconscious mind is amplifying in your perception.
No need to judge 'negative' thought, as that only adds frustrated feeling thoughts to your energy of awareness. Instead you’re invited to notice that whatever evoked the ‘negative’ thought has also caused you to imagine its opposite.
Now, you can relax and allow the movement of thought to lead your awareness toward the more uplifting feeling you have created in imagination; or you can make excuses as to why the more dense feeling thoughts (which you have also created in imagination) require your attention. Either way, You alone make the choice.
Even by just recognizing without judgment that a choice is being made, your energy of awareness is uplifted and emotional extremes are diffused. As you continue to so recognize, you will invariably become more aware of the choice that supports and uplifts your energy - until eventually there will be no need to choose.
In this way, the mind remains a tool for ‘feeling neutral’ calculations and storage of data, but creative direction is given over to the authority of the heart.
Led by Desire
Whatever is wanted, it’s opposite is also unwanted. Wanted and unwanted are mental polarities with wanted being associated with the feeling of happiness, and unwanted being associated with unhappiness.
Every individual 'want' is a form of God's pure desire for experience. Pure desire springs consistently from the Source of all awareness, is filtered through layers of mind-created self, and is expressed as a unique invitation to allow happiness - whatever that means to the individual at that point in their evolution.
The trouble most people have with desires is attachment to them - which could take the form of either ‘need’ to attain what’s desired, or repression of what’s desired.
Either way, it is the endeavor to gain control over that which is a force beyond control that makes desire feel like dis-ease. This would never be the case if desires were simply allowed, however, allowing is not the nature of mind.
According to individually held beliefs, the fearful mind is programmed to evoke thoughts that resist desire. Based upon what is desired coupled with the degree of resistance offered in response thereto, the mind leads awareness toward manifestations that are mentally calculated to prove that what one has been believing and feeling about their desire is true.
All feeling is emotional, taking form somewhere on the polarity scale between happiness and unhappiness, depending on what's being imagined. Feeling of happiness is attuned with thoughts of the ‘lighter’ vibrational polarity - and feeling of unhappiness is attuned with thoughts of the 'heavier' vibrational polarity.
Feeling is always in direct correlation with what one believes about the desires that arise within their awareness; and to the extent desire is being allowed without judgment, emotion moves automatically toward lightness (happiness); and likewise, to the extent desire is being resisted in thought, emotion moves automatically toward density (unhappiness).
Happiness attained through the energy of separation (fear), such that one mentally manipulates the elevation of their energy by creating a happy feeling based on circumstance, is experienced as shallow, fleeting and insecure - because it's foundation is really the 'lighter' pole of mental patterns in victim consciousness. This form of happiness, because it's based on circumstance, powerfully attracts manifestations that correlate with the opposing feeling (unhappiness) - the denser pole of victim consciousness.
In ignorance, one uses perception of victimhood as 'reason' to further chase desires or repress them - depending on which they think will create a happy feeling, according to their individually held belief system. In believing thought that assumes personal desire for enduring happiness can be attained by the mind-created self, one energetically aligns their ‘self’ with fearful thought/feeling, thus reinforcing associated mental/emotional patterns of victim consciousness, and causing their individual experience of those patterns to progressively become more extreme.
In contrast, the wise one knows that what's 'wanted' leads toward experience of enduring happiness, and that every desire is another opportunity to allow thought to be moved in accordance therewith. One seizes such an opportunity by consciously releasing thoughts that contradict their desire, thus allowing the spirit within (the all-knowing aspect) to lift consciousness into states of mind that correlate with feelings of calm happiness.
As states of mind are transcended, emotional polarities become less extreme, and the full spectrum of feeling can be experienced with more clarity and less anxiety.
There is a distinction between chasing desire and allowing it; and understanding this distinction is an important key on the path toward pure being.
Fearless Love
The love that you feel for anyone in your perception is emotional - energy that is constantly in flux between polar opposites of conditional love and fear. Emotion is the feeling response to what’s being imagined, and every feeling is entirely dependent upon the imagined comparison to its polar opposite.
In this way, the more you believe your emotional love to be real, the more you are magnetizing fear for your experience.
Specifically, by believing in the truth of feeling, the belief that ‘separation is truth’ is also activated on a subtle level. Belief in separation creates a tension in the mind that makes love feel extreme (anxious), and extreme feeling is an indication that its opposite polarity has been activated, and is now being attracted for your experience.
Your true identity is Love that transcends imagination - it remains consistent irrespective of what is perceived. Simply by remembering, during moments of extreme emotion, that you create your own feeling, and that your ability to create is not dependent upon the 'other' - you allow beliefs in separation to be dissolved.
As beliefs are dissolved, fragments of self also dissolve, and a state of wholeness arises from within. From the perspective of wholeness, emotional love (and all feeling) is still experienced, but now with a depth that knows no fear.
Not by Works
Because the majority of humans identify with a false sense of self, most of us sacrifice Being in favor of doing.
We have conditioned ourselves to believe that hard work and struggle is the way to create a meaningful life. In accordance with those beliefs, we sacrifice our health, happiness and peace of mind to meet the expectations for 'success' and 'service' created in the mind.
But our real power is our creativity, not physical or mental prowess. Our human abilities to calculate and act are only tools for the maneuvering of form toward that which has already been created in thought. To the extent calculation and/or action is substituted for creativity, humanity creates their own suffering.
Since most of us have been conditioned to project thought energy that reflects our beliefs in physical labor and/or mental manipulation as a means to create a life, we wind up working ourselves into mental and physical dis-ease in our endeavor to attain a fleeting sense of self worth. Fear and fatigue permeate the being when awareness is focused in a competitive state of mind because awareness is the conduit for source energy, and the more awareness is mired with belief created out of judgment that separation is real, the more the conduit to the Breath of Life is constricted.
When we work ourselves into what feels like bondage, it's because our energy of awareness has been constricted and thus we are not allowing the essence of freedom/clarity/peace to penetrate perception - it's like having our back to the sun and believing the shadow we cast to be the only reality. This limited vision causes many people to eventually resign their self to a life of mental, physical and spiritual dissatisfaction because they can see no other way.
In a state of delusion, the mind presents thoughts that point out all the circumstantial difficulties between what we are and what we wish we could be, while condemning people whom we perceive as greedy, selfish, unfair, spoiled or abusive. Then we may endeavor to work feverishly toward what we think we deserve and/or use mental manipulation to control people or situations.
Any 'success' while in a state of delusion creates difficulty in the attainment and the journey to that attainment is fraught with feelings of guilt, greed, deprivation and resentment which do not naturally subside after 'success' is declared. In an effort to feel better, many 'successful' people create a 'charitable' self image by giving money to causes or offering service to help the so-called less fortunate. However, since a delusional person's 'charity' is only an extension of the same ignorance that led to the benefactor's dis-ease (ie: fearful beliefs are taken as true), even in their effort to be helpful, one only creates more dis-ease.
The truth is that every single person on Earth is born into this material environment as powerful creators, not by our own works but through honoring all desires, devotion to the truth of 'who we are', and willingness to take inspired and detached action when opportunity to share our unique gifts is presented. This means that if action cannot be offered as a labor of love (without expectation), rest and rejuvenation are in order until inspiration returns.
Through the persistent surrendering of perception to thoughts that align with the soul, especially in moments of delusion (fearful beliefs are taken to be true), one allows perception to be inspired, and the action steps which facilitate the 'evidence' of that inspiration become obvious and feel Joyful.
Until we are able to sacrifice the egocentric need for self meaning, we cannot fully experience the blessings and beauty that we have come forth to create. By releasing the idea that we have to do anything at all, we re-learn to enjoy being in the present moment without worry or despair; and Life is allowed to flow in a manner that commands peace of mind and manifestations of like kind.
Be true to the Real You and let your presence be a testament to the Love that you are.
Condemnation is Self Inflicted Suffering

EveryOne who condemns is 'right' to do so, even though condemnation cannot lead in the direction of anything they want. Thoughts of condemnation are perfectly attuned with all thought that has gone before, and therefore it cannot be a mistake.
Ego is the thinking process that continually constructs the self image of all thought projected by awareness from a personal perspective. When one feels the perceived 'need' to condemn it's an indication that self-judgment is being denied by the ego in order to maintain the illusion of separation.
The cumulation of denied judgment is known as the 'shadow self'. In executing its program to keep the shadow self hidden from awareness, the ego employs mental calculations, labels and judgments to create the appearance as if something is, was or will be 'wrong'. Every time the perceiver takes the appearance of 'wrongness' to be true, the shadow self is fed fearful thought-energy, thus creating the illusion that there is more and more 'wrong' in one's life and in their world.
While condemning is very tempting because it creates a sense of self importance, it is also the cause of much personal suffering. Specifically, when one is expressing from a thought/feeling pattern of condemnation, their mental energy is projecting for a condemned world in need of a 'righteous' savior. This imaginary savior can be anyone from the perceiver's own self image to the self images of political leaders or spiritual figures like Jesus Christ.
This form of mental energy validates the false sense of separation - the underlying cause of all suffering. Even if suffering is not what's consciously intended by condemnation, when individualized awareness enters a condemning state of mind, mental energy is being focused with feeling upon what has been rejected; and whatever one's awareness is focused upon is being created for their experience.
Also, the more one follows thought into the feeling of condemnation, the more energy is supplied to cultivate their shadow self, which will eventually overpower their own "good" intentions.
After all, condemnation is really an expression of one's own rejected tendencies and desires; and to the degree that anything is rejected, thoughts of condemnation arise as a reminder of what the perceiver has judged to be 'wrong'. But what the perceiver rejects always threatens to take form in their world, and every time the perceiver believes their own condemnation to be the truth, their creative power is given to make what they have rejected more apparent in their world - thus creating a cycle of pain wherein the perceiver plays both the victim and the victimizer.
These patterns of pain can be diffused by anyone who is willing to take responsibility for that which disturbs them. In this way, one allows their awareness to be guided inward to observe of the self-judgment that is the true cause of their perceived 'need' to condemn anything.
By letting go of mental attachment to what's 'happening' in perception and by focusing instead on the nature of creative energy being projected from one's individualized awareness, they allow their energy to be transformed in a manner that heals perception. Because the individual perceiver is intricately connected (such that there is no separation) from the One that is All, the perception of mass consciousness is also being affected through one's practice of being aware of how their own thoughts and feelings create their perception of Life.
Condemnation is self inflicted suffering that can be healed through courage, acceptance and Love for All. By staying alert to the direction of one's personal energy of awareness with willingness to see what creates the perception of disharmony, one allows upliftment of their energy, thus transforming the tendency to condemn into healing energy for their self and for the world.

Energy is our Gift
Our perception of our world is only a reflection of the self we have created out of thought. Perceiving through the eyes of the Divine comes from harmonious alignment with the core of beingness, not from anything outside of ourselves.
When we expect anyone or anything to behave according to our own will, we set conditions for our experience of Joy, thus setting ourselves up for disappointment. But when we set the focus of our awareness upon that which we already enjoy, without attachment to how it may come or continue to come, the people and circumstance in our world receive an energetic invitation to shift into resonance with our new vibratory offering.
If they are prepared to shift their energy accordingly, our experience of them will change. If they are not so prepared, they will fall away from our experience, making way for that which harmonizes with our energy of awareness.
However, when we are resistant to certain people, behavior or circumstance, we are resisting particular energetic patterns that reside within our Being. By resisting any part of the self, our energy is given to reinforce the current that sustains what we are resisting; and we attract more material manifestations of it into our experience.
Acceptance is the key to allowing ourselves to perceive the reflection of our Joyful essence in this lifetime. Only when Life is accepted in its fullness, does our individualized energy of awareness resound with the highest and deepest Joy/Peace/Love, thus allowing such Divine energy to be our gift for ourselves and for our world.
Speaking of giving, many times we give to "others" because we believe that someone needs our help, and/or we expect something in return. Depending upon how much time, physical energy, money, fight, etc., we have given, we may create an esteemed self image in the world.
However, the belief that we are needed creates a feeling of obligation, while expecting something in return for our efforts creates attachment to outcomes. Both of these mental attitudes are dissonant to our Divine energy, which cannot be disturbed by anything in the material world. That dissonance creates emotional disturbance which creates a disturbed perception of reality.
Giving that's guided by disturbed feelings creates little or nothing of enduring value because it is our energy, not our action that determines the potency of our intent. The energy that drives our efforts affects our shared reality in a way that cannot be quantified in the material world, and if our energy is disturbed we can only create more disturbance - even if we bring about measurable improvement on the physical/material level.
Conversely, when we direct our thoughts into vibratory harmony with our eternally Joyful essence, we glorify everything even if we do nothing at all. This is because our thoughts are always commanding creation, and when thinking arises from a vantage point that perceives what IS to be what is desired, reality unfolds in energetic harmony with our desires.
Accordingly, the most value anyone can bestow upon their world of form is the focusing of thought energy into harmony with Joy/Love/Peace. In this way, giving springs effortlessly from the abundance of the heart as we garner eternal blessings for our world.
Use what you perceive as the opposite of what you want to inspire your Divine creativity and bestow the gifts that endure forever.
Opposed in Thought, Created in Form
It’s all made of thought. Nothing can manifest without having been repeatedly represented in thought.
For or against makes no difference. It’s what one thinks ABOUT that has creative power in this time-space reality. In this way, the most fervent opponent of war supports war just as much or more than the most fervent proponent of war.
All thought is projected through the thinking process known as Ego, 'whose' existential foundation is the energy of separation aka fear. Everything perceived contains its opposite, and Ego uses mental calculations to position the self on whatever side least contradicts one’s own held judgment.
As such, egoic mind constantly grips to thought that says the perceiver must mentally choose one side over the other to validate their identity, and the emotion attached to those thoughts can make the perceived need to choose very convincing.
However, because the foundation of ego is belief in separation (which is illusion), ego cannot calculate the truth that no matter what position is taken, it’s opposite is also resisted. In that resistance, one unwittingly gives their energy of awareness to create more of what they do not want.
Nevertheless, one can only be convinced to take up sides while they are believing in duality - which is ignorance because in reality nothing is separate. Fortunately, even the most profound ignorance is immediately transformed to infinite wisdom in the moment one allows stillness of thought - not because anything was done, but because all sides have been recognized as equally Divine expressions, and thus the perceived need to choose one over the other becomes irrelevant.
Peace is HereNow! Have a taste for yourself in the silence between thought, and infuse your heart, mind, life and world with the Peaceful presence that knows no adversary.
Perfect Trust
Every person you perceive, including your self, is made up entirely of thought. As such, placing your trust in something as fickle as a person is sure to lead to feelings of disappointment, anger and/or resentment.
This is not to say that you should or should not do anything with respect to your relations with the people presently in your experience. Instead, this is an invitation to use whatever emotionally tumultuous thoughts you project onto people to discover how to uplift your energy and experience more interpersonal harmony.
With regard to the type of energy exchange, if any, you ‘should’ choose to pursue with particular persons, you always make the best decisions when you employ common sense coupled with common intuition. However, irrespective of any choice you make about your relations, if you are to deliberately create more harmonious relations, the focus of your inquiry must be directed inward.
Contrary to what your physical senses seem to be telling you, the ‘other’ person is not really ‘there’ as you perceive them to be. Every person you come into contact with is the same source awareness projecting through mind in order for you to perceive the ‘reality’ of your own mental impressions, memory and judgment - which you formed based on all you have perceived before.
Once you really ‘get’ this, you will find it ridiculously simple to create harmonious relations with all people in your perception. This is not to say that the process is easy, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
Specifically, the energy of your fearful beliefs couples with emotion in a process that tempts you interpret what you perceive as your ‘cue’ to play the victim again and again. Each time you believe that another person is victimizing you, your energy of awareness is given to reinforce victim consciousness, thus making the experience of unpleasant relations more prevalent in your life.
It takes Courage, Focus, Intent and most of all Trust that you are the creator of your world to focus your awareness through the layers of delusion that fearful thought has formed in the mind. One way to cultivate Trust and create more pleasurable relations is to observe what you are thinking about the people in your experience, and if you feel an emotional trigger, immediately intend to allow thoughts that would make you feel more pleased with that person.
If you are so emotionally charged about a particular person that you cannot imagine yourself being pleased by their behavior, allow the ‘other’ person to be anyone or no one in particular. The point of this practice is to shift your mindset to a thought pattern that produces as much pleasure as possible.
As you consciously allow your awareness to ascend to higher (more pleasurable) states of mind, you will begin to attract behavior and people that please you more. This will inspire you to keep practicing, but until the evidence speaks for itself, persistent practice may be inspired by your Trust that everything in your world is unfolding according to your own thought projection.
Trust only in the One that’s True, so that you may come to recognize and appreciate the reflection of your Divine essence within every person.
