Fighting for Love
Love is not something to fight for. Love is simple and free - You always receive Love to the extent you offer Love.
Fighting for love is a tool of ego (energy of fear) – it may result in what appear to be short term ‘wins’ – but in the long run it’s a recipe for intense personal suffering.
Ego is not Against Spirit
Ego is not against Spirit as in a battle between good and evil. Ego is the fictional creation of Spirit which allows for the perception of distinct forms - the foundation of experience in this material dimension.
Only through buying into Ego's assertion that thoughts are true does one resist Spirit's directive to uplift and expand energy of awareness. This 'buying in' is ignorance - not right nor wrong - just a mindset that generates the experience of struggle.
There is nothing to do but remember the Truth that there is no truth to any thought. From there, Spirit is allowed to uplift energy of awareness to lighter frequencies of mind - and infinitely more expansive Joy/Peace/Love/Pleasure may be experienced thereby.
Divine Adjustment
Accident, mishap and physical illness are energetic adjustments, intended to guide energy of awareness toward alignment with the essence of infinite, all-encompassing Love (Truth).
The need for these forms of adjustment can be largely circumvented by the one who heeds their more subtle forms of inner guidance. (Note: Some extreme forms of adjustment may have been chosen by you as part of your life plan)
Specifically, guidance into alignment with Truth is always being offered in the form of feeling. However, mental conditioning is such that ego leads awareness to avoid uncomfortable or painful feeling with layers of mental occupation, until more extreme forms of guidance (accident, mishap, illness) are made inevitable.
Mental occupation is marked by activity that distracts your awareness from the feeling at hand. It could be in the form of thoughts about how things will be better when you are through what’s happening now, or the compulsion to engage in activity for the purpose of passing time.
When mental occupation is noticed, you can stop doing, and start breathing deeply, just being with the feeling and noticing the thoughts that come with that feeling.
In this way, you become aware of what thoughts the feeling is bringing up. From that awareness, you can decide whether uncomfortable or painful feeling thoughts are still necessary according to what meaning you give to them.
Do this with devotion to the Truth that every thought is born in delusion, and no meaning will be given to the thoughts as they come up. In this way, you dismantle the structure of fear that gives credence to the underlying belief, and that belief loses it’s magnetic affixation to your energy of awareness.
As more thoughts that provide structure for fearful belief move out of the way, you can see more and more clearly the direction in which your energy of awareness is being ‘asked’ to shift; and to the degree that you follow that subtle voice, there is no need for more extreme forms of guidance.
Of course, if you experience extreme suffering, it serves you to remember that you have received a Divine adjustment, and that there is a purpose for that suffering. Continue to breathe through the thoughts about pain, victimhood, blame and resentment (forms of fear) in the same manner, and seize this opportunity for deep healing to occur.
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.
Love Message: God
What's egocentric is not knowing that you are God, it's the idea that you could possibly be separate from God.
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.
Daily Thought: Blame
Blame is a form of denial. It is employed by ego to maintain one's sense of separate self by hiding the truth that what's being perceived is really orchestrated according to the perceiver's own unresolved judgment.
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.
