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.
Yearning
Yearning for something better than what is HereNow perpetuates suffering in your world.
Whether the movement of your thought is motivated by the promise of a dimension that you think will be better than the one you think you’re in; or you think that a spiritual being outside of you will one day whisk you off to an ethereal place - these thoughts are based on beliefs that keep you apart from this moment - the only place and time that consciousness can enter.
Life is already as ‘good’ as it gets. It’s only your judgment that makes it appear as if there is something lacking, and no matter what material changes occur, until you release that judgment, there will always be something lacking in your perception.
Things and people should not be anything other than as they are. Thought about what ‘should be’ is a form of desire that has been distorted by ignorance - born out of the false idea that something or someOne can be wrong - and always leads to the perception of more wrong.
The only thing to shift is perception, and being conscious of thoughts about what ‘should be’ while remaining focused on the Truth will lead you there.
Desires spring from you automatically, but they do not define you. It’s only individual identification with desire that creates yearning, and suffering as a result thereof.
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.
You Are Never Wrong
You have never been wrong, and there is no reality to what you call a mistake. You may be aware that there are some things in your memory that you would like to have done differently, but judging your self as wrong for having done them can only create suffering for you.
Because the subconscious mind is programmed to seek pleasure and avoid pain, what you have deemed wrong about your self must be repressed in order for you to feel happy. Specifically, in response to an impression of judgment that causes you emotional pain, the mind creates a division using calculation and reason to protect you from feeling the emotion associated with that judgment.
In this regard, it benefits you to be present within every emotion, and to notice the thoughts associated with your emotions. Doing this with the remembrance that your thoughts are not your own (and that you choose whether to believe them) will allow you to transcend the trappings of victimhood and experience more pleasurable states of mind (“realities”).
You actually have no control over your behavior as it is compulsive based on all thought that has gone before. If you would like to behave differently than you did in memory, you have only to Be different by shifting your energy of awareness to a lighter (less judgmental) vibration.
Judging and then trying to control your self only creates internal struggle and further frustration every time the repressed aspect of self re-emerges. But appreciation for all things exactly as they have been created (including all that you have ever done) allows your self to easily learn necessary lessons of Love, and enjoy this lifetime more deeply.
You are never wrong, and you are never right either – You are simply Divine.
* Note: Ego is the master of illusion – it can hold many of your judgments and beliefs hidden beneath emotional layers that can divert your from the truth even as you are sincerely seeking it. If you are inspired to dissolve the trappings of mind, I encourage you to find someone willing and able to be your mirror for the purpose presenting you with what you are not seeing on your own.

Invocation of Presence
For the purpose of this article, "Presence" means conscious overview of the thoughts and feelings being entertained within your awareness. Your physical body can only be focused into a single location at any point in time, and when your Presence is focused there too, experiences are seamlessly digested and your perspective is advanced for the evolution of your world.
The only thing that prevents you from being fully Present is internal conflict which manifests as emotion. Emotion makes your thought based perceptions feel real, and the emotion you are feeling is an indication of how much Presence you are allowing around and between your thoughts.
Specifically, all thought is a patterned mental/emotional response, which leads deeper into unconsciousness in the absence of conscious overview (Presence). Presence directs your awareness toward those thought patterns that feel more closely attuned with your non-emotional yet eternally Joyful essence. In this regard, the closer your thoughts feel to contentment, the more presence you are allowing around thought - while less contentment means you are allowing less presence.
So the question then becomes "how can I feel contentment when I really hate what's happening?" The answer to that question is Acceptance and Appreciation - which “happens” within the remembrance that everything happens for you. That remembrance can be invoked by slow, deep breathing and the consistent allowance of silent space between thoughts.
It's futile to resist thoughts that you think you should not be having, because it's the having of those thoughts that inspires your creativity. Simply allowing Presence around and between thoughts leads your awareness to thought patterns that feel better, while resistance to your thoughts leads in the opposite direction.
Contentment is not a goal that you have to achieve, but the emotional direction in which Presence leads your thinking irrespective of circumstance.
All that you perceive is only a reflection of the feelings that you have allowed to take form through the focus of your thought, and your conscious aspect (Presence) feels like the ultimate bliss/pleasure/joy/comfort - transcending all emotion. Just by looking for things in your perception that please you, and/or imagining what would please you more, you are invoking Presence for the creation of more pleasure in your world.
Conversely, to the degree you are focused on things in your perception that evoke anger, worry, sorrow, desperation, etc. - you are resisting presence and relying instead upon Ego aka fear - which is only capable of offering thoughts that evoke more fearful feelings which are then reflected in your world.
The temptation to be driven by unconscious thought comes in the form of things and people (including yourself) that you don't like, or want to change. Your perception of such things immediately decreases your happy feeling because it shifts more of your awareness away from the moment and into the fear-based Egoic mind.
This is not to say the Egoic mind is a bad thing, or that feeling uncomfortable emotion should be avoided. This is about being aware of how much Presence is being allowed at any given time so that you can navigate your awareness back into alignment with 'who you are' when you're ready.
The more you practice allowing Presence, the easier it will come to you, and your world will evolve in a way that is ever more pleasing from your perspective. Amaze yourself by giving your awareness over to the only aspect of yourself that is capable of creating a world you might describe as "heaven", and exalt your material aspect in this very moment in time.
Experienced yet Innocent
Your story is unique to you, but like you, everyone in the world has judged themselves as being a victim at some point in their life. That self judgment, created through your perception of your experience, formed a belief that you need to be in control - which attached to your awareness through emotion (energy in motion).
Unpleasant emotional energy consumes a portion of your limited awareness as egoic mind endeavors to protect you from the feeling by controlling the specifics of your life. However, ego only knows your own beliefs, thus it consumes much of your precious energy trying to figure Life out from a very limited resource of information.
Every time you perceive that something went “wrong”, which causes you to experience uncomfortable or painful emotion, more judgments are created about the egoic "need" to protect you from people, circumstances and even yourself. In this way, it's natural to feel a greater need for control as you continue to accumulate life experience.
Just imagine if you could return to the innocence you were born with while still having the benefit of your experience for the adjustment of your perception. You can! And it starts with awareness of your perceived need to control anything, deep breath - and letting it go.
As you look for them, you will begin to see the self judgments that caused you to develop the perception that you "need" anything or that things "should" be different - and as you see, you are healed.
* Note: Ego is the master of illusion – it can hold many of your judgments and beliefs hidden beneath emotional layers that can divert your from the truth even as you are sincerely seeking it. If you are inspired to dissolve the trappings of mind, I encourage you to find someone willing and able to be your mirror for the purpose presenting you with what you are not seeing on your own.

The Mirror
Ego is a thinking process that's programmed to maintain your individual sense of self by creating illusion of the judgments you hold about you and projecting them into your outer world. In this way, your world is a presentation composed of people, things, circumstances and events that mirror what ego keeps hidden from awareness.
According to the feeling that you created for your self at the time you judged that you were subject to limitation, that feeling is triggered in you every time the essence of your held judgment manifests in your perception. What you perceive is only a demonstration of your beliefs, and when your awareness is absorbed by your dissonant feelings (instead of in observance of them), self pity prevents you from seeing the message being presented to you - by you - and for your own evolution.
Moreover, every time your judgment is made manifest and you believe the manifestation to be real, you are tempted by mind to create more belief that's logically associated with the underlying judgment - thus compounding your judgment's power of attraction.
Every feeling has meaning, and whatever you feel is a form of the emotion that binds your judgment to your self image for this life experience. When one exercises sufficient presence of mind to experience the feelings evoked by perception while observing the thoughts associated with those feelings, they allow the Light of Awareness/God/Source to burn through layers of delusion until the underlying judgment is also exposed and dissolved.
There is nothing else to do! All limitation is a phantom that dwells in darkness, and once exposed to the Light of your Awareness - it simply dissolves.
* Note: The ego is the master of illusion - it can hold many of judgments and beliefs hidden beneath mental and emotional layers that can divert one from the truth even as they are sincerely seeking it. If you are inspired to dissolve the trappings of mind, I encourage you to find someone willing and able to be your 'mirror' for the purpose presenting you with what you are not seeing on your own.

Integrating the Perception of Spirit
The perspective of spirit is Unconditional Love, while the perspective of mind is always conditional as in: I can enjoy this as long as...
It's a balanced blending of the two that leads to peaceful awareness and in turn the creation of a more peaceful reality. Specifically, when the mind does not approve of a situation being perceived, spirit can be invoked for acceptance of what is, and unbiased awareness of the egoic mental/emotional habit patterns at the root of the disturbing perception.
Repeatedly exposing unnecessary habits in this way causes their progressive dissolution, thereby allowing the material self to be a more authentic expression of spirit, a more sophisticated tool for Divine creativity, and a vessel for the experience of the unbounded Joy that represents our true essence.
Spirit is creating this material reality based on the energy offered by the balance of all thought. Persistent attention to emotion reveals whether our thoughts are commanding a reality that we would perceive as more peaceful or more conflicted.
Align yourself with Self, relax into the moment and command blessings for your experience and for the world.
Peace everyone!
