Beyond Illusion

Jesus is a being in existence who had a life experience, while God is existence itself. Just like all people, Jesus was both human and being. Our human aspect is created and sustained by God, while our being aspect is God's presence. Without both aspects, there could be no life experience.
God is the same one who creates, sustains and observes the experience of everything in creation. Everything that is not human is perfectly comfortable being unified with existence, but the human ego is so attached to the physical/material self that as soon as our minds develop beyond infancy, we have great difficulty seeing ourselves as anything but separate from God, each other and everything else.
The entire material world exists in our perception. Our material self aka ego determines which experiences we will have based upon the thought energy we project, while our spiritual aspect observes and orchestrates the events and circumstances of our life for the highest and best interest of our being (which is not separate from existence).
Notice that according to the Christian belief system, Jesus is God. Thus seeing Jesus in anyone would be the same as seeing God in them. Even this belief makes it plain that our inner essence is God - but the manipulative mind keeps us so bound to delusion that we cannot see the true reality even when it is in plain sight.
It is this delusion that is the cause of all conflict amongst humans and between humans and other aspects of nature.
Jesus was a human who allowed his inner essence to be expressed more fully than most humans allow, because he developed his inner vision to see beyond mental illusion. In order for Jesus followers to get beyond mental illusion, they must go beyond what they know of Jesus and access their inner essence. I'm sure Jesus was a great guy, but to follow him is really only following a mental concept of him - which is illusion, and we remain bound to illusion as long as we limit ourselves in this manner.
As long as we keep ourselves bound to the illusion of separation, our egos continue to project for what we consider "punishment" for our shared reality - while our spiritual aspect Joyfully creates the manifestation of whatever the ego projects. However, when we achieve the level of awareness whereby the ego recognizes our spiritual aspect (aka Godliness aka God essence) as our guiding Light, we are able to see and understand the mental patterns that create blessings - and send our thought energy there to create Heaven.
Until such time, religious believers and non-believers alike will continue to hate what the ego has created while projecting for more hateful manifestations in the world.
It takes great courage to be who we really are, but the benefits speak for themselves and they become readily apparent in our lives. Allow the real You to have presence in your life, and command creation accordingly.
Self Compassion Heals Suffering
The level of intelligence of any living being dictates how specifically they are able to create for themselves and for the world. Human beings aren't victims or villains. We are the most powerful creators to ever walk this planet, and just like everything else, we are created and sustained by the energy of pure Love.
When we notice anyone suffering, the ego naturally seeks to protect the self image by ignoring the pain of another person, judging them for having created their circumstance or projecting thoughts that feel like victimization. All of these create an energy of disempowerment and reinforce the pattern of pain which manifests in our lives time and time again.
Everything in our experience is a reflection of ourselves. It's human nature to lay blame on “others” for creating things that disturb us, but the truth is that each and every one of us is responsible because everything in our world is created by consciousness, and we are that consciousness.
Likewise, when we feel defeated for ourselves or for anyone else, we add our energy to the current that has created and sustains the thing that we do not like. Surrender instead to the way things are, and gently shift your perspective toward feeling more Joyful about the possibilities.
Anything is always possible but we cannot be receptive to possibilities for the change we seek while we are focused on what we perceive as "problems".
Compassion is the key to creating new momentum for the one suffering and for everything else. This means allowing the pain to be what it is without judgment, and consistently returning our thoughts to focus on that which brings us Joy in the present moment.
This is not lying to ourselves because the authentic Self aka The Observer orchestrates all life circumstances for the benefit of the being, and is Joyful no matter what. Have compassion for yourself first for creating something that disturbs you, shift your thought-based energy to project your Joyful perspective, and heal the world with your presence.

Independent Thought Shifts Collective Consciousness
Collective consciousness is the belief patterns projected by all people in a shared environment . From within our homes, neighborhoods and places of work to our cities, countries and even the entire world - individual human thought is largely dictated by the mental habits that prevail within that environment.
Like always attracts like, and onto itself it is drawn. This is a fundamental law of the Universe. Even though opposite poles attract, they must have a resonant vibration, otherwise they will repel each other.
The thought patterns that each individual has projected from this and all previous lifetimes determines the environment in which they find themselves now. This is because humans are attracted to other humans by virtue of mental energy - the coalescence of which determines collective consciousness for a particular environment - and collective consciousness dictates our default perception of shared environments.
Most of us do not yet realize the power we have to affect our shared environments because we are conditioned to believe that the reality we know is created by "others", and that change must be preceded by undue suffering, struggle or even war. Whether there are arguments in our homes, gossip in our workplace, dishonesty in our government, or hunger in our world - the human ego seeks to lay blame on something, someone, or some group of people that appears to be outside of the Self.
But no one is separate from the whole, and each individual is the same energy that has contributed to the creation of all belief patterns in the shared mind that manifest in our individual and shared reality. If we find ourselves or anyone else suffering, it's because we have believed in our own limitation and/or we have judged those we perceive as "others".
This does not mean that anything is our fault. The human mind is born in limitation because limitation is the basis of a material reality, and we are not held liable or judged by anyone but ourselves.
However, everything is our responsibility in that the ego commands the creative force to manifest according what we have projected, and we have the ability to project that which can create the change we seek. Only by accepting responsibility, embracing our uncomfortable feelings, and forgiving ourselves for projecting the thought patterns that have created conflict, can we effectively shift (instead of reinforce) the beliefs being projected by collective consciousness.
Applying the Practice
When we notice anything we do not like, we can transmute our uncomfortable emotional energy to calm deliberate energy - and create new momentum for ourselves with the following process:
- Take a moment to realize that what we are perceiving is a reflection of what we have projected
- Direct our awareness to the feeling that realization creates in the body
- Breathe deeply into the uncomfortable feeling while forgiving ourselves for having projected it
- Once we feel the uncomfortable feeling shift to calm excitement, offer thoughts that match what we want to create
Similarly, when we notice anything we do like, we can use the resultant happy emotion to focus our creative energy to attract more of what we prefer with the following process:
- Take a moment to realize that what we are perceiving is a reflection of what we have projected
- Direct our awareness to the feeling that realization creates in the body
- Breathe deeply into that feeling while thanking the creative force (which is the broader aspect of ourselves) for the manifestation
- Offer thoughts of appreciation for what we are receiving instead of worry or dread over the experience coming to an end in a future that does not exist
Perhaps the best place to test and develop this practice is within the home or workplace because we can easily evaluate and refine our ability on a smaller scale. For example, if we perceive a family member, boss, client or coworker as angry - for the final step of this process we can offer thoughts that change our perception of them to being jovial, kind, romantic or whatever we most prefer.
What to Expect
As we consistently and deliberately shift our mental energy, we will begin to notice that the people and behavior we are attracting starts to shift. On a subconscious level, our new perspective invites everyone who experiences our energy to shift their thought patterns into alignment with what we are projecting.
As our new perspective becomes more believable in our perception, our energy is becoming very different. Thus, the people we have previously associated with can only continue to be attracted to us if their energy continues to resonate with ours by virtue of the belief patterns they are choosing to follow.
In this way, unhappy relationships and situations will easily fall away in favor of those that resonate with our new perspective. During these transitions, fear can permeate our thoughts, and it can be very tempting to return to our old belief patterns in order to maintain the status quo. This is because the ego is programmed to fear what it does not know.
However, if we persevere we will reap all the benefits of our efforts by creating a more Joyful reality for ourselves, while contributing to the creation of a more Joyful reality for the entire world. While our own energy is a small contribution to global consciousness, every person who experiences us is also changed on an energetic level, and as the new patterns of belief are supported by more individuals, our once unorthodox perception of reality will become a mental habit that Earth's present inhabitants and future generations are drawn toward.
Celebrate your independence by making a commitment to offer independent thought no matter what else is happening, and be the one to start a new momentum for yourself and for our shared reality.

Awareness is the Key to Heaven
Human awareness is the key that unlocks the heavenly reality that is our shared destiny. Through our individual sense of self (personal ego), we determine the extent to which we allow the true essence of our Divine nature to be expressed through our material forms.
The ego is always on the "outside" because it cannot know the inner workings of the Universe through the limitations of mind. But the "window" to the "inside" world is our experience in the present moment - which is a direct reflection of the belief patterns that are creating our reality.
Everything in existence is created and sustained by the Life Force Energy that is existence itself. Existence takes no sides - it simply creates according to all thought that has come before. All thought for the specific creation of our shared reality here on Earth is projected through the ego - which is the thinking process that transcends all time and is shared by all of humanity.
Because the ego does not know the real Self, it is afraid of being "wrong". Thus the ego projects a false sense of fear that prevents us from questioning our deeply held beliefs. In this way, the majority of humans unconsciously follow the same habitual mental patterns that have been created by those who have come before.
The mind is very convincing, but the true Self is infinitely more powerful than its creation. Through our awareness in the present moment, we can give ourselves the ability to see and understand which thought patterns are resisting the heavenly world that is our shared destiny - and redirect them.
Specifically, when we notice anything we do not like, the one to forgive is ego for creating and repeating disturbing thought patterns. Total responsibility and self forgiveness releases resistance to what has already been created - thereby allowing us to create something new.
As we forgive our dissonant thought patterns, we can project new thoughts that are independent of those we have been habitually following. Through regular attention and practice, we can develop new habits of thought that serve our shared purpose.
Every one of us can make a difference for this and future lifetimes. Let's direct the Light of our awareness to dissolve our limitations and create a peaceful reality Now.
Thought Creates all Punishment and Blessings
The Being that transcends the human level of awareness includes all human consciousness, is not limited by any concept of mind, and it certainly does not punish any part of itself. While there are many levels of consciousness in existence, every level is intricately connected to all others, and every conscious being is an integral part of the single Self that is existence.
In the same way that humans rely on cellular awareness for sensory feedback, the part of Self that is “above” human awareness, and even the great Being that is the whole of existence relies on the sensory feedback that humans transmit via our brain wave vibration. Because humans sense the material world through the workings of mind, we apply thought to everything that we sense in our material reality.
Every human thought causes the brain to emanate specific vibratory patterns that inform the transcendent part of Self as to what is being asked for our material experience. Whatever we focus upon is created for us by the part of our consciousness which cannot be experienced through our thought-based awareness.
Specifically, with every thought there is a focal point, and that point of focus is what we are requesting to experience more - whether we really want it or not. Because our brains are programmed to receive information from the mind (see Mind: The False Master), we tend to unconsciously focus in a manner that requests the transcendent realm of Self to deliver what we might consider “punishment”.
Through our conditioning over many lifetimes, we have come to believe that by using the cleverness of the human mind we can avoid punishment. In fact, we have come up with rules and laws that are based on the belief that if we follow a certain code of conduct, we will not be punished.
But in reality, we create our own punishment, not through our acts, but through our thoughts. Only our thoughts, through brain wave vibration, have the power to command creation and draw like circumstances, people and events into our experience.
Fortunately we humans are able to receive messages from our non-human Self via emotion. While we communicate messages with the unseen part of us via thought vibration, we receive messages from our higher consciousness in the form of emotion which can be felt in the body.
This makes it quite simple to determine whether our thoughts are asking for something pleasing because if we would not like what we are creating, we receive a message of discomfort in the form of feeling. Because we continue having thoughts that evoke extreme emotion over time, we develop a “shadow self” which is the cause of physical and mental tension, discomfort, pain and disease.
The individual human shadow consists of memorized sensory stimuli which has a vibratory link to specific thought patterns in the mind. Since every thought pattern evokes a specific emotional response, even if the present circumstance is in no way related, we may find ourselves in an emotional state.
The shadow causes our emotions to remain hidden within the layers of mind because we are not willing to look upon any part of Self that is viewed by the ego as detrimental to the self image. Since we are largely identified with the mind, we tend to believe the validity of this egocentric fear, and we protect the self image instead of facing the feelings that keep creating our punishment.
But our self image is only the false sense of Self that has been created for presentation of Self, as it is individually focused, in the material world. Emotions are in no way a representation of the true Self. Unresolved emotion is simply baggage that the human aspect of Self accumulates from having a life experience, and by becoming aware of them - we can release them from our psyche.
In order to turn punishment into blessings, we must be alert to the messages being received via feeling, and to the simultaneous thought pattern that we are transmitting. Once any feeling and associated thoughts have been identified, the emotion loses some or all of its vibratory charge in the present moment.
From there, we can redirect the thoughts around the subject point of focus to something that is more pleasing or less tense. This is not lying to yourself because your reality is only a manifestation of what you believe, and changing your beliefs to create a Joyful feeling is the whole purpose of the human experience.
Provided that we practice awareness without judgment or any other thought that would evoke more uncomfortable emotion, over time we will expose and release more of the emotions that are hidden in our psyche. Not only does this practice get easier with repetition, but over time the emotions become less powerful.
Make it a point to relax and be aware of yourself, breathe deeply and turn fear into inspiration so that you can keep releasing accumulated emotions and be the beneficiary of blessings today and every day.
You Can’t Serve Two Masters

A strong human Will is what makes the ego a competent servant, but the ego cannot serve two masters. Either our Will is employed to follow the call of spirit for the expansion of the soul, or it serves the concept of individual self by repeating existing patterns of mind in recreating what is already known.
As a conduit for spirit, the ego is in a constant state of bliss because it is consolidated with the infinite Self. But left to its own devices, the ego accumulates layer upon layer of deprivation and dis-ease.
It's impossible for anyone to be a conduit for spirit unless they have faith in the unknown. But because the unknown is unreasonable, the mind resists it with thoughts of fear and worry.
If we believe in self-limiting thoughts, we remain stuck in the known as we further validate the habits that create vibratory discord between the psyche and the soul. False beliefs have no power unless we lack faith in the unseen, and they easily dissolve when we develop the faith that comes from exposing our doubts to the Light of consciousness.
But being faithful is not without sacrifice. The old self image must be repeatedly sacrificed in order to keep changing in rhythm and flow with the ever evolving call of spirit.
Spirit always calls us to be more than we already are, and that is uncomfortable for the ego because it is programmed to resist what it does not know. In every moment that we accept reason to convince ourselves that we cannot be, do or have what we want, our Will is tuned to the mind and thus it is resisting the unlimited essence of spirit.
The mental habit of fear is the cause of all egocentric self doubt, self victimization, self importance and self confidence. Only when we integrate the understanding that the human ego is nothing more than a concept of mind, do we begin to resolve our fear and live as the expression of our Being.
The real You is always ready and willing to be the master of your life - just as soon as you take that leap of faith in releasing your grip on the old self image that no longer serves your purpose. Direct your Will to serve your infinite Self through your willingness to be new in this moment, and deliver yourself to the flow of Divine blessings for this lifetime.
Forever Young
Through life experience, the ego develops tools for navigating in the material world. But the human soul never ages nor does it care about worldly conditions.
The soul’s sense of freedom, coupled with the worldly tools we develop through life experience, presents the unique opportunity for us humans to actively participate in the fulfillment of our desires. However, as we learn about the material world, we also come to believe in the illusion of separation.
In illusion, we experience emotions that we cannot release because we are not aware that the underlying thoughts are untrue. Because life experience has caused many of us to forget who we are, fear permeates our thought process, and instead of feeling more freedom as we age physically - we create bondage for ourselves in our own minds.
But the spirit does not change. It knows complete freedom and unbounded Joy just like we did as very young children. The soul always yearns for new experiences, but most of us deny it as we continue with the habits that define and protect the self image created by our egos.
As we continue to deny the voice of spirit, the ego must become more of a master in our lives. While the ego can be very capable and well endowed with material abilities and talents, it is also very limited by what it knows to be true from memory and emotion.
When we live from ego, we feel trapped by our circumstances and bound to the life we have created. Moreover, with the ego as master, we quickly begin to feel the restrictions of physical age.
Eventually it becomes commonplace to tell ourselves that we are “too old” when we hear the subtle call of spirit to create something new. Because our bodies follow our thoughts, we create dis-ease and discomfort in our bodies as we age physically.
But the soul never ages, and it is intricately connected to the Divine source of infinite possibilities and Love. Whatever the soul wants to do, it can do! It only requires a physical body and brain that is receptive to all possibilities.
The soul is always calling the ego, like an innocent child asking if it may be, do and have what it desires. Every time we say "no" with thoughts of restriction or unworthiness, we suppress the only part of us that is real.
But we can reunite with our innocent childlike soul in any moment. All we have to do is allow our thoughts to follow our spirit as we delight in every desire that crosses our awareness.
Lay down your mental resistance, and allow your thoughts to follow your wildest dreams. Trust that your desires will be fulfilled in perfect time, and you will know your call to action because it feels every bit as Joyful as the thoughts that have prepared you for the moment at hand.
Irrespective of physical age, integrate your ego with the ageless spirit that you have always been and live your potential now.
Independent
Most of us have an egocentric idea of how to be independent. Our conditioning has caused us to believe that in order to be independently successful, we can depend ONLY upon the strength of our own will.
This notion cultivates fear that we may be perceived as weak and unsuccessful if we find the need to seek the support of another person or people. Where there is fear, there is always judgment – thus when we are stuck in this mindset we tend to judge anyone who seeks support from other people as unworthy of success. Judgment attracts more fear, and the cycle of judgment and fear continues until they eventually occupy the vast majority of our thought patterns.
In reality, we are all independent because the individual creates everything in his or her own reality. If there are people supporting us or hindering us, we attracted them by the thoughts we chose to follow in this or a previous lifetime. Feeling dependent upon anything or anyone for our well being is based in the fear inherent from perceiving reality in the delusion of separation from the Universe and everything else.
That feeling prevents us from realizing our own power - which keeps us apart from what we really want to create for our lives. If we find ourselves feeling needy or clinging to any person, people, or set of circumstances we are most certainly being led by our very limited ego self and not our real powerful Self.
There will always be an unlimited supply of people to love and support us. When we trust that we have the power to consistently attract the right person at the right time, we can release the perceived control that we exert in trying to keep particular people in our lives, making them behave in particular ways, or manipulating them into bestowing certain benefits upon us.
Moreover, we can release the pressure we put upon ourselves about how and when we are going to make anything happen through our actions. Our power is our energy, and when we focus our thoughts on what we want to create, we attract people who are willing and able to facilitate our creative process.
Through attention to how we are feeling, we can discipline ourselves to feel the powerful nature of our true Self, and from that perspective our creation glorifies ourselves and everything else. Dependence feels like powerlessness, and by shifting our thoughts to what’s true within us, we can harness the power of our creativity.
When we become more independently and joyfully focused, it’s easy to see and understand what actions are being “asked” of us, and which personal relationships are in our best interest to maintain. By releasing the habit of clinging to anyone or anything, all people and things can flow easily into and out of our experience with the precise timing that best serves our purpose.
Don't Sacrifice Your Soul
Every person has a purpose or a niche to fill in this time-space reality. Many people hear their soul calling them toward their purpose, but convince themselves that they must sacrifice their soul's purpose in order to make another person's dream happen.
While the ego can convince us that this type of sacrifice is for Love, it really comes from an egocentric sense of self importance. As if the other person or people may not be able to realize their dreams without the generous sacrifice of our own soul.
When we are well centered in Self, we can see clearly where our destiny lies and go there. The soul's call is subtle and always feels Joyful. With careful attention to how we feel and the thoughts that brought us there, we can begin to step in the direction of our purpose.
Ego Purpose
The ego's purpose is to provide our unique field of awareness with a sense of individuality and separation in order to make a life experience possible. The ego is programmed to protect our individual self from suffering, and thus it buries anything that is potentially painful to look upon.While we are identified with the ego self, our shadows or skeletons are harmful to the physical and emotional body, and are best kept out of our awareness. Eventually though, they tend to become so powerful that the ego is no longer able to contain what has been hidden, and our phantoms manifest as extreme emotion or physical dis-ease.
However, when we observe what has been hidden from the perspective of our conscious Being (not ego identification), any suffering is only superficial and temporal as that which has been exposed is gracefully released. In this way, we create more energy, clarity, and an enhanced life experience.
The most difficult moments come from self judgment or fear of the unknown. Remember you have done nothing wrong and the Universe is always focused on guidance toward your highest benefit.
As we continue on the path of awakening to the true Self, we are able to understand more of what is being revealed, and thus we notice spontaneous insight occurring more often. While there are still peaks and valleys with respect to the difficulty of our challenges, they progressively get easier as the benefits become even more rewarding.
