You are Love! Be willing to be who you are and prevail.

You are not separate from the Truth, but the beliefs you uphold for who you think you are have caused you to temporarily forget your true identity.

Because each individual accumulates unique life experiences which forms their present state of awareness, their path toward experiencing the enlightened state is not only unique, but in a constant state of flux - making it impossible to chart anyOne’s path. In fact, the more one endeavors to follow another person’s path, the more their sense of separation is reinforced - thus making their individual awakening less likely.

People with something to sell will insist that there’s something wrong about you, for which their method can make right. While nothing you do is ever wrong, all methods (even meditation) require mental effort - the antithesis to the enlightened state of being.

This is not to say that employing methods to invite enlightenment are not on your path - all methods used by you are on your path, but just like everything else in this world of form, methods are meant for creative play - not as a means to an end.

When you get ‘serious’ about meditation, yoga, observing your mental patterns, or any method, ego (energy of fear) enters through another window in your awareness to identify ‘who you think you are’ according to whatever method you believe to be important.

However, no matter the extent to which you are identified with thought, ‘who you really are’ is constantly leading you toward a more awake state of being. In this way, even if you are not seeking spirituality at all, the particulars of your life experience are your constant guide in the direction toward the enlightened experience.

Because awakening occurs in the absence of mental chatter, everyOne is gifted with perceptions that create minor to extreme mental shock and/or confusion - depending on their unique state of being and what degree of insight they are ready to receive.

Everything perceived is a unique message for the unique, individualized energy of awareness. While no perception needs to be analyzed unless one finds it entertaining to do so, every perception exposes self beliefs which can be further believed or simply dropped.

If one merely trades one belief for another, nothing has been resolved, but this is still along the path toward the enlightened state of being. Eventually circumstances will arise to help dissolve the newly formed belief; and if physical death comes before all beliefs are dissolved, their essence remains integrated within energy of awareness to be relived in the next birth/death cycle.

While methods are valuable to condition the mind into a preferred state of awareness, ultimately, stillness of mind (experience of nothingness) is the enlightened state of being, which ‘happens’ when every belief (including every method) has become irrelevant.

'The Devil' is a personification created by the human mind to explain fearful thoughts and feelings that arise within human awareness. What is labeled as 'evil' has manifested in the world and continues to do so according to the fearful thoughts projected by the collective Earth-focused awareness.

With all the conflict, struggle and suffering being lived in the world today, it's apparent that 'The Devil' has been given a substantial amount of power in thought; and the paradox is that the more 'The Devil' is battled against, the more powerful 'The Devil' becomes.

In ignorance to their true identity, 'The Devil' is given life and sustenance by the unconscious (habitual) thought projection of 'good', well-meaning people. 'The Devil' can even consume awareness to the point that malevolence becomes one's only available expression.

Many people are becoming aware that only Love can dissolve the 'need' for fear, but because most are still afraid to embrace 'The Devil', they unwittingly create 'his' presence in their thought projection. While each person holds the power to let love prevail through their projection, to exercise that power one must remember to stay alert to their thoughts with the intent to consciously choose Love.

Specifically, to the one who is alert, 'The Devil' serves to point out one's own ignorance, and calls attention to whatever judgment is hindering the full expression of Beingness. Bearing witness to one's own fearful state leads to absolution of the underlying judgment, thus shaking and eventually dissolving the foundation of belief that 'The Devil' actually exists.

By appreciating one's individualized rendition of 'The Devil', and embracing 'him' without judgment, one can begin to receive and understand the direction of the soul in absolving the fear-inducing thoughts that society has been conditioned to believe.

Each one has the power to use 'The Devil' as a tool to serve the soul's purpose, thereby liberating their self from the polarities of good and evil and finding eternal peace in the 'Heaven' that is always HereNow.

The experience of being abused is created and experienced by the one whose beliefs contradict their true desires - the only thing that can hold the self apart from experiencing the joy/peace/love/abundance that is the essence of I AM.
The belief that anything outside of one's own ignorance could be responsible for their dis-ease makes it true for their self, and their illusion/reality is showing them all the 'evidence' that their beliefs are True.

In reality, every person imaginable exists, but one can only experience the people and behavior that resonate with the vibrational offering of their own thought. There is nothing to separate from - it is all an illusion created by the One that is You. Look without judgment into the eyes of the 'other', and remember that they are only a reflection of your self.

Emotion allows us to determine whether our current point of focus is projecting for anything that we want to manifest. Our present feeling indicates how our projected manifestation will feel based on the beliefs we currently follow.

Our present manifestation and corresponding emotion is always perfect based on all thought that has come before. Most of that thought has been involuntary as we have simply believed the thoughts presented by the mind, and they became our truth.

To create new momentum requires new beliefs, which can be created through consistent attention to our feelings and deliberate redirection of our thought patterns. If we are feeling anything other than blissful, we are attuned to self limiting beliefs in the mind.

With attention, we can identify those beliefs and offer thoughts that feel better. There is no limit to how good our thoughts can feel because whatever we sincerely believe is our truth.

When we follow our thoughts into a feeling place we don't like, the point where we redirect our thoughts sets a precedent for our emotional low point with respect to the subject point of focus. This makes it easier to turn the tide the next time we find ourselves riding the same or similar thought wave.

As we continue this practice, we can create new belief patterns and then release them as we systematically raise our emotional set point higher.

Every moment is a new beginning, and we can only begin from our current feeling place by offering thoughts that we can believe in the present moment. How far we progress in this lifetime depends on how patient and compassionate we are with ourselves.

Specifically, belief patterns are hard wired biologically, and breaking free from them requires cooperation from our ego. If we judge or condemn ourselves for not attaining what we think we should, we create resistance which impedes our progress.

The feelings we project are the same feelings we are attracting. Everything in our experience is a lesson, and depending on how we perceive what has already been created, we project for what comes next.

When in an uncomfortable or painful emotion, breathe deeply and remember that you are not limited to the limitations of mind. Simply appreciate the lesson and allow it to guide your progression toward the experience of your Divine essence.
