			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Love is not something to fight for.  Love is simple and free - You always receive Love to the extent you offer Love.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><span id="more-3386"></span></p>
<p>Don’t worry about who’s going to Love you. Let Love flow generously from you without personal expectations, and Love will surprise and delight you in ways that are inconceivable to the gripping mind.</p>

<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>However, every expression emerges from the One that is only Love, and what’s perceived is just a story made up in the mind.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Adjustment.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-2971" title="Adjustment" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Adjustment-210x300.jpg" alt="" width="210" height="300" /></a></p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>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)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</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>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Fearless-Love.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-2811" title="Fearless Love" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Fearless-Love-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The love that you feel for anyone in your perception is emotional - energy that is constantly in flux between polar opposites of conditional love and fear. Emotion is the feeling response to what’s being imagined, and every feeling is entirely dependent upon the imagined comparison to its polar opposite.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>In this way, the more you believe your emotional love to be real, the more you are magnetizing fear for your experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Specifically, by believing in the truth of feeling, the belief that ‘separation is truth’ is also activated on a subtle level. Belief in separation creates a tension in the mind that makes love feel extreme (anxious), and extreme feeling is an indication that its opposite polarity has been activated, and is now being attracted for your experience.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Your true identity is Love that transcends imagination - it remains consistent irrespective of what is perceived. Simply by remembering, during moments of extreme emotion, that you create your own feeling, and that your ability to create is not dependent upon the 'other' - you allow beliefs in separation to be dissolved.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As beliefs are dissolved, fragments of self also dissolve, and a state of wholeness arises from within. From the perspective of wholeness, emotional love (and all feeling) is still experienced, but now with a depth that knows no fear.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Illuminated-Mind.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1568" title="Illuminated Mind" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Illuminated-Mind-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>Our perception of our world is only a reflection of the self we have created out of thought. Perceiving through the eyes of the Divine comes from harmonious alignment with the core of beingness, not from anything outside of ourselves.</p>
<p>When we expect anyone or anything to behave according to our own will, we set conditions for our experience of Joy, thus setting ourselves up for disappointment.  But when we set the focus of our awareness upon that which we already enjoy, without attachment to how it may come or continue to come, the people and circumstance in our world receive an energetic invitation to shift into resonance with our new vibratory offering.</p>
<p>If they are prepared to shift their energy accordingly, our experience of them will change.   If they are not so prepared, they will fall away from our experience, making way for that which harmonizes with our energy of awareness.</p>
<p>However, when we are resistant to certain people, behavior or circumstance, we are resisting particular energetic patterns that reside within our Being.   By resisting any part of the self, our energy is given to reinforce the current that sustains what we are resisting; and we attract more material manifestations of it into our experience.</p>
<p>Acceptance is the key to allowing ourselves to perceive the reflection of our Joyful essence in this lifetime.   Only when Life is accepted in its fullness, does our individualized energy of awareness resound with the highest and deepest Joy/Peace/Love, thus allowing such Divine energy to be our gift for ourselves and for our world.</p>
<p>Speaking of giving, many times we give to "others" because we believe that someone <span style="text-decoration: underline;">needs</span> our help, and/or we expect something in return.   Depending upon how much time, physical energy, money, fight, etc., we have given, we may create an esteemed self image in the world.</p>
<p>However, the belief that we are needed creates a feeling of obligation, while expecting something in return for our efforts creates attachment to outcomes. Both of these mental attitudes are dissonant to our Divine energy, which cannot be disturbed by anything in the material world.  That dissonance creates emotional disturbance which creates a disturbed perception of reality.</p>
<p>Giving that's guided by disturbed feelings creates little or nothing of enduring value because it is our energy, not our action that determines the potency of our intent.   The energy that drives our efforts affects our shared reality in a way that cannot be quantified in the material world, and if our energy is disturbed we can only create more disturbance - even if we bring about measurable improvement on the physical/material level.</p>
<p>Conversely, when we direct our thoughts into vibratory harmony with our eternally Joyful essence, we glorify everything even if we do nothing at all. This is because our thoughts are always commanding creation, and when thinking arises from a vantage point that perceives what IS to be what is desired, reality unfolds in energetic harmony with our desires.</p>
<p>Accordingly, the most value anyone can bestow upon their world of form is the focusing of thought energy into harmony with Joy/Love/Peace. In this way, giving springs effortlessly from the abundance of the heart as we garner eternal blessings for our world.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[In ignorance to their true identity, 'The Devil' is given life and sustenance by the unconscious (habitual) thought projection of ordinary and even well-meaning people. 'The Devil' can even consume awareness to the point that malevolence becomes one's only available expression.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Devil.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-658" title="Devil" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Devil-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The essence of God is pure, all-encompassing Love, which also creates and sustains this time-space illusion by directing pure awareness through the human mind.  To the extent that there is conflict in the mind (ie: thoughts that feel uncomfortable are taken as true), Love's essence projects through the energy of fear, thus immediately creating a disturbing feeling in the body.</p>
<p>'The Devil' is a personification created by the human mind to explain fearful thoughts and feelings that arise within human awareness. What is labeled as 'evil' has manifested in the world and continues to do so according to the fearful thoughts projected by the collective Earth-focused awareness.</p>
<p>With all the conflict, struggle and suffering being lived in the world today, it's apparent that 'The Devil' has been given a substantial amount of power in thought; and the paradox is that the more 'The Devil' is battled against, the more powerful 'The Devil' becomes.</p>
<p>In ignorance to their true identity, 'The Devil' is given life and sustenance by the unconscious (habitual) thought projection of 'good', well-meaning people. 'The Devil' can even consume awareness to the point that malevolence becomes one's only available expression.</p>
<p>Many people are becoming aware that only Love can dissolve the 'need' for fear, but because most are still afraid to embrace 'The Devil', they unwittingly create 'his' presence in their thought projection. While each person holds the power to let love prevail through their projection, to exercise that power one must remember to stay alert to their thoughts with the intent to consciously choose Love.</p>
<p>Specifically, to the one who is alert, 'The Devil' serves to point out one's own ignorance, and calls attention to whatever judgment is hindering the full expression of Beingness. Bearing witness to one's own fearful state leads to absolution of the underlying judgment, thus shaking and eventually dissolving the foundation of belief that 'The Devil' actually exists.</p>
<p>By appreciating one's individualized rendition of 'The Devil', and embracing 'him' without judgment, one can begin to receive and understand the direction of the soul in absolving the fear-inducing thoughts that society has been conditioned to believe.</p>
<p>Each one has the power to use 'The Devil' as a tool to serve the soul's purpose, thereby liberating their self from the polarities of good and evil and finding eternal peace in the 'Heaven' that is always HereNow.</p>
