Paying attention to how our words make us feel can reveal the emotional wounds we are carrying.

Feeling those emotional wounds without mentally buying in to any story about self or another allows those wounds to heal.

We've been programmed to put 'dollars per hour' value on the Energy we share in service to our world. This causes us to exert control over the limitless Energy thats meant to enrich our world and reflect back to us in like kind.

Through this programming, we have forgotten that Time was created for Artful Expression, that Love is Free Energy and that the Energy projected through us is always generously returned.

This does not mean we need to immediately quit our jobs, or stop charging a fee for our services. It's just a matter of recognizing that we are Creative Beings, that our Creative Energy is Free - and in that recognition, allowing our Energy to flow freely whenever we can do so without expected reciprocation.

As we come to recognize and live these Truths our world evolves to reflect the same.

Whether one partner in the passionate exchange dies, the partnership collapses, or it becomes dispassionate - it is Right in that it paves the way for us to rekindle the flame of our inner passion in a state of greater awareness.

As we let go of wanting things to be different than they are right now, we can re-experience the feeling of passionate love within ourselves. And whatever feelings dominate our experience are made manifest in the physical form.

This is not to say that feeling of loss is not valid. Indeed, we must go through feelings of loss if we are move deeper into our passion.

But to recognize that none of the ideas that arise with the feeling of loss are actually the truth allows us to move into a renewed passion for what was, what is, and what can be.

What's mostly thought of as self discipline is making the self do something we think we outta do, or not do something we thing we shouldn't do. These are delusional attitudes that give mental conditioning more control over our lives.

The ability to self discipline is an important key to Freedom through realizing the Truth of who we are, but self discipline is only valuable when its wielded in service to Spirit/God/The One.

Specifically, having the will and the intent, while emotionally triggered, to witness all forms of thought without following them, to remain present to the breath, and to feel unconditionally what's coming up is the ONLY form of self discipline that affects the cause of internal and external dis-ease.

This ability is developed through practicing stillness of mind - which means consistently taking time out of the busy lives we have created to do nothing 'productive' but watch our thoughts.

All of our behavior changes organically, in exactly the way it 'should', in response to awareness of Truth which comes through stillness - while every trip of disciplining the self to be a certain way is in and of itself resistance to the Truth we seek.

As these visions occur its just natural for programmed thought to come in with all the 'reasons' that our visions would be difficult or impossible to manifest, or about 'how' we're going to make them manifest.

As we feel into these fears with conscious breath, our visions become more powerful. This is not the same as trying to use more thought to convince ourselves that our fears are invalid.

Fear is valid and its diffused by our going through it experientially, not by thinking our way around it.

As our fears are diffused, we can Trust the grand design of the Universe, which renders us free to step Joyfully and consistently in the direction of our visions with full expectation that our visions will come true - but without attachment to any of the details.

Focusing awareness on the breath, no matter what's happening, allows us to direct the mind toward that which is truly relevant.

But we choose whether to empower thoughts by taking them as truth, or disempower thoughts by recognizing them as programming.

Every time we recognize thoughts as Programming, we are re-programmed toward neutral thoughts - which neutralizes the drama in our lives and for our collective world.

To recognize thoughts as Programming, we simply turn our attention to the underlying feeling and breathe with conscious awareness.

Going through the pain and discomfort we experience with this awareness allows the underlying causes of that pain and discomfort to be resolved.

This is quite a bit different than refraining from criminal activity because of boundaries imposed by other people, and fear of punishment.

The more we utilize whatever resources we have been given to share and expand present moment awareness, the more resources we are gracefully given as required to support this purpose.
