			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/heavenly-scenery.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-3027" title="heavenly-scenery" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/heavenly-scenery-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225" /></a>Heaven first and all else falls in line. All doing is either for a desired feeling or out of a desired feeling, and when doing is for a desired feeling, mental energy makes that feeling unavailable to you until the mind can rationalize it based on what's been done.</p>
<p>Moreover, nothing that's done can ever have a lasting effect on feeling, and whatever feeling is evoked by circumstance soon becomes its opposite. The way out of feeling in polarity is to allow the desired feeling irrespective of circumstance.</p>
<p>Present feeling depicts how proximate the vibrational frequency of thoughts come to allowing desired feeling. Awareness of this enables you to discern where thoughts are leading, and to determine which thoughts, if any, you are willing follow.</p>
<p>The conditions of Life are always ideal for your awareness to return to unity with all that you desire; and every circumstance that draws your awareness into separation is another opportunity for transformation and growth through the return to unity.</p>
<p>You seize every such opportunity when you remember your intent to allow all things as they are HereNow, and let your awareness of the breath gently absolve your grip on anything that contradicts your intent.</p>
<p>In this way, the desired feeling can be experienced now, and whatever is done from that feeling becomes an expression of Heaven for your world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Creative-Direction.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2873" title="Creative Direction" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Creative-Direction-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Because the totality of ‘what IS’ evolves according to the movement of collective thought - whatever you perceive is your offering or ‘service’ to All. Your doing is only secondary - it's a more reactionary thing - something you can't help - it just emerges out of perception (which is the culmination of all experience up to the present moment).</p>
<p>Take a look at what you’re against, what you want to eliminate, what you are afraid of, etc.. These are the things the unconscious mind is amplifying in your perception.</p>
<p>No need to judge 'negative' thought, as that only adds frustrated feeling thoughts to your energy of awareness. Instead you’re invited to notice that whatever evoked the ‘negative’ thought has also caused you to imagine its opposite.</p>
<p>Now, you can relax and allow the movement of thought to lead your awareness toward the more uplifting feeling you have created in imagination; or you can make excuses as to why the more dense feeling thoughts (which you have also created in imagination) require your attention. Either way, You alone make the choice.</p>
<p>Even by just recognizing without judgment that a choice is being made, your energy of awareness is uplifted and emotional extremes are diffused. As you continue to so recognize, you will invariably become more aware of the choice that supports and uplifts your energy - until eventually there will be no need to choose.</p>
<p>In this way, the mind remains a tool for ‘feeling neutral’ calculations and storage of data, but creative direction is given over to the authority of the heart.</p>

Pure desire springs consistently from the Source, 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.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Heart-Light.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2817" title="Heart Light" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Heart-Light-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>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.</strong></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>There is a distinction between chasing desire and allowing it; and understanding this distinction is an important key on the path toward pure being.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[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.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Lonely-Flower.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-797" title="Lonely Flower" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Lonely-Flower-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>In reality, we are <span style="text-decoration: underline;">all</span> 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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/ego-purpose/" target="_blank">ego self</a> and not our <a href="../../../../../yourrealself/" target="_blank">real powerful Self</a>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="../../../../../i-am-the-infinite-i-am/" target="_blank">what’s true within us</a>, we can harness the power of our creativity.</p>
<p>When we become more independently <span style="text-decoration: underline;">and</span> 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 <span style="text-decoration: underline;">easily</span> into and out of our experience with the precise timing that best serves our purpose.</p>
