Seeing Only Love
EveryOne is pure Love and desirous of experiencing mutually Loving interaction with You. However, the mind can only create perception of ‘others’ according to the cumulative of that which has already been considered from your perspective and taken to be true.
In this way, you can’t really harm or offend anyOne; and you are in no real danger of being harmed or offended by anyOne. Nevertheless, individualized forms of awareness (people) may make themselves feel harmed or offended by their perception of you; and likewise you may feel harmed or offended by your perception of them.
However, every expression emerges from the One that is only Love, and what’s perceived is just a story made up in the mind.
To the extent you are afraid that your behavior may harm or offend anyOne (or that their behavior may harm or offend you), your pure essence (Love) is being distorted by mental concepts - which creates the feeling of confinement and emotional dis-ease - and is expressed in the material world as such.
The energetic connection between people who have shared relations is such that when thoughts of the ‘other’ cross your awareness, the emotional energy that you project is a force that not only affects your life experience, but it influences the ‘other’ to see their self from the same emotional point of view - especially as it relates to their interactions with you.
Make it your intent to recognize that, despite what you perceive, the ‘other’ can only Love you to the best of their ability according to what you are allowing; and that your only offering is Love. If you are uncomfortable or afraid of anyOne, make physical space, and as thoughts of them arise in your awareness, be receptive to seeing them in the mind’s eye as only Loving - whatever mental imagery feels Loving from your unique perspective.
In this way, you are using your energetic connection with individual forms to transcend layers of mind, while vibrationally inviting them to do the same - thus allowing for the experience of Loving relations to expand in your perception and in the perception of everyOne within your sphere of influence.
Love Message: Motion
This too shall pass! Everything perceived is in motion, constantly manifesting according to the conscious response given to what’s being perceived Now.
To have your truest desires made manifest, let every concern go, take slow-deep breaths, and allow the spirit that burns within to direct the movement of consciousness (the One Force that creates all worlds) through your individualized perspective.
Led by Desire
Whatever is wanted, it’s opposite is also unwanted. Wanted and unwanted are mental polarities with wanted being associated with the feeling of happiness, and unwanted being associated with unhappiness.
Every individual 'want' is a form of God's pure desire for experience. Pure desire springs consistently from the Source of all awareness, is filtered through layers of mind-created self, and is expressed as a unique invitation to allow happiness - whatever that means to the individual at that point in their evolution.
The trouble most people have with desires is attachment to them - which could take the form of either ‘need’ to attain what’s desired, or repression of what’s desired.
Either way, it is the endeavor to gain control over that which is a force beyond control that makes desire feel like dis-ease. This would never be the case if desires were simply allowed, however, allowing is not the nature of mind.
According to individually held beliefs, the fearful mind is programmed to evoke thoughts that resist desire. Based upon what is desired coupled with the degree of resistance offered in response thereto, the mind leads awareness toward manifestations that are mentally calculated to prove that what one has been believing and feeling about their desire is true.
All feeling is emotional, taking form somewhere on the polarity scale between happiness and unhappiness, depending on what's being imagined. Feeling of happiness is attuned with thoughts of the ‘lighter’ vibrational polarity - and feeling of unhappiness is attuned with thoughts of the 'heavier' vibrational polarity.
Feeling is always in direct correlation with what one believes about the desires that arise within their awareness; and to the extent desire is being allowed without judgment, emotion moves automatically toward lightness (happiness); and likewise, to the extent desire is being resisted in thought, emotion moves automatically toward density (unhappiness).
Happiness attained through the energy of separation (fear), such that one mentally manipulates the elevation of their energy by creating a happy feeling based on circumstance, is experienced as shallow, fleeting and insecure - because it's foundation is really the 'lighter' pole of mental patterns in victim consciousness. This form of happiness, because it's based on circumstance, powerfully attracts manifestations that correlate with the opposing feeling (unhappiness) - the denser pole of victim consciousness.
In ignorance, one uses perception of victimhood as 'reason' to further chase desires or repress them - depending on which they think will create a happy feeling, according to their individually held belief system. In believing thought that assumes personal desire for enduring happiness can be attained by the mind-created self, one energetically aligns their ‘self’ with fearful thought/feeling, thus reinforcing associated mental/emotional patterns of victim consciousness, and causing their individual experience of those patterns to progressively become more extreme.
In contrast, the wise one knows that what's 'wanted' leads toward experience of enduring happiness, and that every desire is another opportunity to allow thought to be moved in accordance therewith. One seizes such an opportunity by consciously releasing thoughts that contradict their desire, thus allowing the spirit within (the all-knowing aspect) to lift consciousness into states of mind that correlate with feelings of calm happiness.
As states of mind are transcended, emotional polarities become less extreme, and the full spectrum of feeling can be experienced with more clarity and less anxiety.
There is a distinction between chasing desire and allowing it; and understanding this distinction is an important key on the path toward pure being.
Perfect Trust
Every person you perceive, including your self, is made up entirely of thought. As such, placing your trust in something as fickle as a person is sure to lead to feelings of disappointment, anger and/or resentment.
This is not to say that you should or should not do anything with respect to your relations with the people presently in your experience. Instead, this is an invitation to use whatever emotionally tumultuous thoughts you project onto people to discover how to uplift your energy and experience more interpersonal harmony.
With regard to the type of energy exchange, if any, you ‘should’ choose to pursue with particular persons, you always make the best decisions when you employ common sense coupled with common intuition. However, irrespective of any choice you make about your relations, if you are to deliberately create more harmonious relations, the focus of your inquiry must be directed inward.
Contrary to what your physical senses seem to be telling you, the ‘other’ person is not really ‘there’ as you perceive them to be. Every person you come into contact with is the same source awareness projecting through mind in order for you to perceive the ‘reality’ of your own mental impressions, memory and judgment - which you formed based on all you have perceived before.
Once you really ‘get’ this, you will find it ridiculously simple to create harmonious relations with all people in your perception. This is not to say that the process is easy, but the rewards are well worth the effort.
Specifically, the energy of your fearful beliefs couples with emotion in a process that tempts you interpret what you perceive as your ‘cue’ to play the victim again and again. Each time you believe that another person is victimizing you, your energy of awareness is given to reinforce victim consciousness, thus making the experience of unpleasant relations more prevalent in your life.
It takes Courage, Focus, Intent and most of all Trust that you are the creator of your world to focus your awareness through the layers of delusion that fearful thought has formed in the mind. One way to cultivate Trust and create more pleasurable relations is to observe what you are thinking about the people in your experience, and if you feel an emotional trigger, immediately intend to allow thoughts that would make you feel more pleased with that person.
If you are so emotionally charged about a particular person that you cannot imagine yourself being pleased by their behavior, allow the ‘other’ person to be anyone or no one in particular. The point of this practice is to shift your mindset to a thought pattern that produces as much pleasure as possible.
As you consciously allow your awareness to ascend to higher (more pleasurable) states of mind, you will begin to attract behavior and people that please you more. This will inspire you to keep practicing, but until the evidence speaks for itself, persistent practice may be inspired by your Trust that everything in your world is unfolding according to your own thought projection.
Trust only in the One that’s True, so that you may come to recognize and appreciate the reflection of your Divine essence within every person.
"Should" is the Language of Delusion
Releasing "should" and "should not" from our mental dictionary is not about whether anyone should or should not take action - it's about choosing action based on intuition rather than pursuant to our mental perception of what "should" or "should not" be done.
"Should" and "should not" are always based on mental perceptions of what we think we are supposed to do in certain situations. While doing exactly what is expected can be the same action that is in our best interest, action that emanates from our connection with Consciousness always serves our purpose.
The mind is programmed to offer thoughts that grip to expected outcomes in exchange for our action, and that is why awareness must be a CONSISTENT practice in order to be effective. When we think in terms of "should" and "should not, we create attachment to our desires - which detracts from the pure Joy experienced when action is offered as its own reward.
Attachment is delusion, and due to our worldly conditioning, we are naturally attuned to the patterns of mind that keep us bound to delusion through ego identification. Being in the present moment means acting in innocence, without the expectation that we will achieve any particular outcome as a result of our efforts.
By remembering that the journey is the destination, we may be reminded that how we feel Now is our prayer for the future that is always being created Now. Through attentiveness to our own thoughts and feelings and consistently directing our attention back to Now, we develop the overview necessary to more easily determine where we are gripping, and the trust necessary to surrender to the present moment.
Desire and even our Attachment to Desire is not a hinderance to spiritual development. Our experience of desire is the call of Source summoning us to evolve our awareness toward greater understanding of Self; and while Attachment to Desire is what keep us bound to delusion, resisting anything is in itself a form of Attachment - which can only perpetuate our delusion. However, both Attachment and Desire are inherent to the human experience, and they evoke inner guidance in the form of emotion. (See Every Emotion has Meaning for more on "emotion")
If we are spending our energy trying to avoid or deny either Desire or Attachment, we are laboriously creating more of both as our awareness is buried more deeply in the delusion of mind. However, when we understand, embrace and enjoy both Desire and our Attachment to it (and all delusion for that matter), we return to being present automatically, and gain deeper understanding thereby.
We can only be damned or blessed through the perception of the mind. By minding the mind, we develop the ability to discern which thoughts keep us directed toward the center - where blessings abound and peace prevails.
Every Emotion has Meaning
Every emotion is perfect based on all thought that has come before. Through emotional activity, we are being directed by consciousness as to how we can evolve our energetic expression to achieve a higher frequency.
When we experience an emotion that evokes our desire for change, that’s a wonderful thing because desire is the voice of our creative aspect summoning us to evolve our awareness and grow. We accept that invitation by accepting ourselves fully, exactly as we are Now.
Only from the perspective of acceptance do we become receptive to thoughts that allow our evolution to be more in alignment with our specifications.
On the other hand, if we perceive ourselves to be in need of "improvement", we make ourselves receptive to resistant thoughts which keep us stuck in what is already known about our present state of being. Any perceived need for improvement causes us to focus on what we WANT as being “better” than what IS, and that prevents us from evolving our present what IS to what can BE.
Specifically, until we can accept our present state of being, we remain focused on what IS, and whatever we focus upon grows in our experience. But once we have fully accepted who and where we are NOW, our focus shifts toward that which allows us to become MORE.
For example, by deciding that some of our thoughts or emotions are "negative", the mind perceives our state of being as something wrong that needs to be fixed. Because this belief is so out of alignment with our true essence, it causes us to attract more thoughts that evoke negative emotion.
Feeling an uncomfortable emotion is an indication that we have forgotten ourselves and we are being summoned to return. Labeling, condemning or trying to change our emotions is not returning, but the offering of more thoughts based in delusion.
Delusion can only exist in darkness, and the moment it is exposed to the Light of awareness, delusion is dissolved thereby. However, the Light can never be attained from a place of delusion until it is allowed through the window of acceptance.
Acceptance is attained by releasing all effort and simply observing our emotion in mental silence. Through unattached observation of the ego as it deals with emotion, we can see through the layers of mind to expose the delusional beliefs that have been impeding our progression.
Through conscious observation, the beliefs that do not resonate with Truth are immediately resolved, along with their emotional charge. However, because most of our beliefs are deeply ingrained habits in the mind to which we have become attuned, awareness must be a consistent practice in order to dissolve delusional beliefs as they re-emerge and to create new habits of belief in alignment with the true reality.
While no thought or emotion can be more perfect than another, we Do have the power to evolve our experience of NOW toward Blessings like we have never known before. Every emotion is an invitation to practice awareness and make it so.
Guilt-Free Eating
If the pork chop with grease and gravy over rice or the double chocolate mousse cake feels satisfying to you, please enjoy it without guilt. Guilt is nothing but an unnecessary emotion which causes mental pain.
Let the guilt go and enjoy what you like. One way to improve health is to feel better about yourself.
You can make slight changes toward improved health by incorporating all or any of the following:
- whenever possible, eat a meal which includes plenty of uncooked fat and raw or lightly cooked grass-fed meat or raw fish.
- making or purchasing fresh organic veggie juice (no fruit or carrots - make the base celery or tomato) whenever possible.
- buying raw milk from grass-fed cows which are free of hormones and antibiotics; and having that as your drink whenever you feel like having something cold and satisfying.
If I were to eat a meal with cooked meat and/or fats, I would add something fermented to aid my digestion. I think pickled ginger would compliment this meal well.
You don't have to make any big commitment to health. Just make small comfortable changes, and see where they take you.
