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.
Darkness in Balance
Darkness only exists where light is not present. Light illuminates everything that it touches, and eliminates darkness by its very presence - without fight or struggle.
With respect to hidden emotions, darkness is anything that has not been observed by individual awareness. But since emotions are what inspire expansion and guide us toward it, just having life experiences creates more dark shadows to be illuminated by our presence.
In the perspective of Yin Yang (balance), when we are not present in our lives, the shadows of darkness proliferate and create imbalance. But there is no danger of too much Light because new shadows are constantly being created as a necessary component of the ever-expansive nature of the Universe.
Enjoy the darkness. It gives meaning to the Light.
I am the Infinite I AM
I AM is nothing and everything. It does not exist, and it is existence itself. It has no beginning and no end. It is the balance from which all extremes are born, and it is also the extremes.
Everything in existence is I AM - the infinite consciousness - the all-knowing awareness that witnesses everything, including every human life experience through our individual senses. Separation from one another and from I AM is the great illusion that makes the human experience possible.
I AM creates and sustains separate human forms and egos to experience the contrast of life through infinitely diverse fields of awareness. And for all the diversity of awareness, the silent witness of every human experience is the infinitely evolving and expansive, I AM.
While the world we know as our reality is constantly being created by I AM, every creation also merges with I AM. As the created and the creator are seamlessly unified, everything already created continues to create as I AM - as each one draws from its source of pure Love that transcends mind.
Humans command the creative aspect of I AM with every thought
All human creativity also originates in the all-knowing aspect of I AM that is pure Love, and humans command the creative aspect of I AM through the filters of memory, mind and separate ego. As such, the Divine creative energy of I AM is converted according to each individual perspective.
In this way, humans have the unique ability to specifically create through individual points of view. The extent to which each human creation represents its source of pure Love depends on the resonance of our thoughts to the part of us that is the all-knowing aspect of I AM.
In other words, the less our thoughts are filtered through the memory of separation, the more we will manifest the reality that we really want. This is where most of us are misled by organized religion, politics, parents and/or society in general.
Humans create struggle and suffering when we perpetuate thoughts that we are detached from or unworthy of I AM. For the most part, we are conditioned to believe we are somehow bad, sinful or shameful - and for those of us who buy into these beliefs, our perspective is very dissonant to the all-knowing aspect of I AM, and we create conflict in our minds just as we project conflict into the world.
The more we shift our thoughts toward the reality that each of us, like everything else, is the embodiment of I AM, the more our life experiences will reflect this truth. When we mind our minds and choose our thoughts in alignment with the infinite aspect of I AM, we command the creation of Love, Joy and Peace through us and for us into the life of the world.
Let's remember I AM and begin creating that now.
Life Keeps Improving
Every manifestation in the physical begins with thought born from experience. Life on planet Earth keeps getting better because our perspective for improvement is constantly becoming more and more refined with each human experience.
The existence of circumstances and situations which we regard as negative will always exist to varying degrees because without them there could be no distinction from which a perspective for improvement could be developed. Likewise, out of each improvement, more contrast is born from which we can focus a new perspective for even more improvement.
For these reasons, expansion is infinite. We will never be finished creating and since we are natural creators, we wouldn’t have it any other way.
We always have the option of staying focused on the negatives and thereby creating and attracting more negative circumstances, or we can choose to focus upon our perspective for improvement. If we choose the latter, and then take action according to any inspiration that arises from our positive focus, we can shift our experience toward the improvements we seek.
Even if we do not take action directly, our perspective (whether positive or negative) is expressed by vibration into the universe. Through our thoughts, we have the power to either strengthen the flow of energy in the direction of improvement or degradation. Since our vibration attracts matching events, circumstances and people, we are effectively creating and promoting that which we primarily focus upon.
While deliberately focusing our awareness creates positive change more rapidly, human beings always naturally return to creating the improvement we want, and eventually everything either makes positive transformation or fades away.
For example - even as government is engaging in war, raising taxes, and regulating our freedoms, we are gaining a clearer perspective for the improved government that we seek. When we choose to believe that our perspective for improvement is possible and allow our predominant thoughts to reside in the improved reality, we will effectively shift our experience.
Indeed, we have realized that we don’t like death that results from war, and even though world peace is not yet a manifested reality, we have created and continue to refine technology that results in drastically fewer casualties of war. Also, since human innovation has made the world more accessible for trade, travel, and communication – there are more peaceful negotiations between the nations of the world.
When the majority of us also believe that we are capable of creating our own lives, and we no longer look for something outside of ourselves to produce health, happiness and abundance - we will create all of these things, plus government that regulates hardly at all.
Another example of improvement comes from our noticing how medical and farming technology has contributed to “incurable” diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. Because we have noticed this, more people are researching and discovering that energetic healing and proper nutrition are superior treatments in most instances, and our experience is gradually shifting back toward natural healing – only this time with the added benefit of the life enhancing medical miracles which we have created.
These are only a few examples of how life on Earth is continually improving. If we look, we will notice how more possibilities for improvement are being made available to us all the time. When we follow our creative instinct, we are able to create anything that we believe to be possible.
The power of creation is within each of us, and we are every bit as capable as we deem ourselves to be.
