Behold Your Beauty
No matter where we are in the world, the beauty within is being projected for us and through us by the power of our thoughts. In fact, the profound beauty of creativity is the energetic force that causes every person, circumstance and material object to manifest in this material reality.
Although it's not always readily apparent, all things seen and unseen are made possible through the beauty of Divine Love. Many times we cannot realize this beauty through the layers of mental conflict and struggle that have been manifest, but it's always present - just waiting to be discovered.
Everything in existence is created and sustained by all conscious and subconscious thought that led to the present moment, and this moment is constantly being recreated through the energy of our thoughts. Because humans are the embodiment of the creative force coupled with a materially receptive mind, the balance of what we focus upon always multiplies in our reality.
When in a mental state of sincere appreciation for the beauty in our experience, we offer a very powerful vibratory pattern which commands the Divine creative force to manifest more of what we consider beautiful. However, many times we do not allow ourselves to enjoy the beauty we have noticed because our focus is quickly drawn to what should be done, changed or fixed in some way.
Where our thoughts go, creation follows. And, when we make conscious decisions about the direction of our thoughts, we are deliberately commanding the power of creation.
But in order to make our thoughts our own, we must be aware of the thoughts being offered by mind - and consciously choose whether to follow any of them. Many of us have been so conditioned to notice what we find wanting that we must access imagination to offer thoughts independent of what we are programmed to receive from mind.
The creative force is limitless possibilities. The more Joyfully we focus upon whatever we personally find beautiful, the more prominent beauty presents itself in our experience; and the more our ideas of beauty are created for the world.
Make your thoughts an offering that resonates with those possibilities that are the most beautiful from your point of view, and create a more beautiful reality now.
Mind: The False Master
The mind is commonly referred to as being owned by individuals. But it is actually shared between everything presently having a life experience.
The mind is the source of unlimited knowledge through energetic patterns of information about everything that is known, understood, or calculated during every material experience that has ever been and that ever will be. That information is accessed by our bodies and brains through cell receptors that act like antennas for the informational signals being broadcasted by the matching thought patterns of the mind.
Every subconscious habit and conscious thought is essentially downloaded by our cells from the mind, which is shared by everything in existence.
At physical birth the cells in our bodies and brain are already attuned to certain information created by those who have come before us. If we have had past lives (and most of us have), our cells are attuned to the mental patterns and behaviors that we developed over those lifetimes.
The parents to whom we are born and our ancestors’ experiences also determine which mental patterns will dominate our subconscious habits and our conscious thoughts. Throughout our lifetimes, our cells are further conditioned to be receptive to the mental information that matches what we have learned about our world during our present life experience.
What we refer to as “my mind” are those thought patterns that are personal to the individual including all physical and emotional memories, and how we identify our material self in relation to everything else. This information is integrated within the mind, and it is accessed by our brains as needed to direct our thoughts, words and actions during our lifetime.
While each of us is infused with pure Divine energy, the energetic relationship between our cellular receptors and the matching mental patterns are so powerful that most of us live almost entirely from the limited patterns of mind that keep us apart from experiencing our true Self. While it seems that we have free will, most of us are our thoughts and actions our predetermined by our biological programming.
While each person is created and sustained by a conscious energy that transcends mind, unless our awareness connects with that energy we live on autopilot - just repeating the same patterns in an unconscious or sleep-like manner. This is because the mental patterns to which we are attuned continuously offer thoughts, and when our spirit is not present, we automatically believe those thoughts.
In order to awaken to the real Self and become Alive in our lives, we must consciously realize that we don't have to believe what we think. Through meditative practice and bodily conditioning we can gradually move beyond our programming and retrain our cells to access information that is relevant to our true life purpose.
When our real Self is present, we can choose to disregard the limiting thought patterns that keep us from moving forward, and embrace those that advance us in the direction of our destiny.

Alone
There is a single supreme consciousness that projects through every person from an individual perspective. While there appear to be billions of "others" on Earth, they are all just different forms of the same Being.
That Being is the eternal creative force that is existence itself, and the One that is the core consciousness of everyone in existence.
From our egocentric perspective, we cannot help but be self centered because our awareness is specifically focused through a single body and brain. As individuals, everything we perceive, sense, feel and desire is according to how we see our material self in relation to everything else.
In our relationships with each other, the degree to which we have emotional love or hate for someone depends on how we see ourselves in them. But it is our own projection that draws every person into our experience.
Likewise, every event, circumstance, thing and even the condition of our planet is a reflection of what we are creating in the mind. While the individual creates their own reality according to their beliefs, all things, people and circumstances in the material world are a reflection of the predominant beliefs projected by the combined consciousness on Earth.
The mind does not belong to a single person, but is shared between all living things. It contains every belief and pattern of thought from the beginning of consciousness on Earth.
Each individual is tuned to specific patterns within the mind through receptors in our brains. As we go through life believing we are limited and separate, we reinforce the patterns created by those who were projected before us as we continue on the course that has been charted before our physical birth.
But since our essence transcends our brains and even the mind, we can change those patterns and create new, more favorable ones by focusing our awareness from the part of Self that is All. The creative force synchronizes everything in our shared reality to reflect peace, harmony, abundance, beauty and Love to the degree that we are projecting the pure essence of our true Self through our material form.
In order to create all of this in our reality, we have only to allow ourselves to be the expression of Unconditional Love as we perceive everything in our experience. Since each person is really Alone, we don't have to concern ourselves with what any person is doing or what they are thinking because our individual expression is dependent only on our individual connection to Self.
There is no other. Be the true You and glorify the only One that endures forever.
You Are the Universe
Everything is created for our experience in the eternal expansion of cosmic consciousness. To hate anyone is actually hating ourselves because those people in our experience are only a reflection of the part of ourselves that we are trying to repress.
While each person is unique in their own individual way, our bodies and minds are intricately connected extensions of the single energetic Being that is existence itself. As we direct our minds from the conscious perspective of our source, our inner conflict turns to harmony, and we notice more harmonious people, events and circumstances in our lives and in the world.
Heaven is Here and Now
What we call Karma is either an exact match to the thoughts we have projected in this or past lives; or events in accordance with the life script we chose for ourselves before physical birth in this lifetime. Karma can be improved through appreciation despite ANY circumstances - and our lives can unfold according to the specifications of our real Self aka God.
Jesus was an example of the astonishing power of "God" that is available to every human in equal measure. Heaven is here and we are in it - that's why Jesus spoke with urgency saying things like "Heaven is in your midst" and "The Kingdom of God is at hand".
Most people believe that Heaven is in another space and time because the conditional mind cannot comprehend that which is not already known. It's a leap of faith to step out of the known and into the field of unlimited possibilities, but that's the domain of God and the more direct route to Heaven.
As soon as we are willing to wake up in this time-space reality and realize who we are, we will begin creating peace and abundance for every creature through the Unconditional Love that is the source of our Being. Of course, no one can experience Heaven while they still believe that some of their fellow humans are going to Hell, or that they are inferior to anyone or anything.
Smile and be thankful that you have been given this experience to help you reevaluate and refine the thought offering (prayer) that you are projecting in every moment.
Let The Christ Live!
We are that to which we pray. Every thought is a prayer. Every feeling is a request we make unto the Universe that is within us.
Our bodies and egos will die, but the Self that is our true identity is eternal. While we're here on the physical plane, we have a choice to live as the God in us, or as an unconscious doer of habits.
For those of us who’s awareness has not yet evolved enough to grasp this understanding, following a belief system that requires God to be "out there" can lead us on a path of enlightenment - but egocentric self-importance usually gets in the way.
I see most religious people comparing themselves to God, judging themselves as powerless and sinful - like unworthy beggars for God's mercy. In this way, they unconsciously make judgment their most common prayer.
Jesus said "judge not lest you be judged". By judging ourselves as "less than" God, we become fearful of the power within, and instead of being Alive through our lives, we live from the habits of humanity that have been conditioned into the subconscious mind over time.
Many people call themselves disciples of Jesus, but they do not know him because their experience of Christ is only from the mind's interpretation of the books that were written about him. Christ is a level of consciousness that can only be attained by letting go of the limitations that having a life experience has caused us to believe.
Satan is not a person, but a personification of ego that follows mind and not spirit. We cannot serve two masters. Either we identify with the mind or with the Being we were born to express.
Wisdom of this world is foolishness with God! When the mind is disconnected from God, the ego is led to believe that we can find God by studying things that are of this world.
But God is not found in the material world, and we are not material beings. Our souls are intricately connected and completely unified with the one and only great Being that is existence itself.
We are here to be ourselves! We can make up whatever we want to "believe in", but if we want to create our lives in glory to God, we will strive to live first and foremost from the fullest expression of the Being within.
In separation, the mind cannot know God, and thus mind becomes the leader of the ego - like the blind leading the blind. This causes the mind to seek comfort from the material world because it can only identify itself as disconnected from the All.
But each of us is really Alone in that our experience of the world is of our own creation. Specifically, the cells of our physical bodies are transmitters of the One great Being as a projection of a particular field of awareness (soul) into the life of the world.
Our minds filter that projection with every thought. The more we align our thoughts with the knowledge of the source within us, the more fully we are expressing the only enduring aspect of ourselves.
Only by seeking the treasure at the core of ourselves can the mind come to know God. When the two become one, we glorify God by using the gift of this life experience to create the Heaven that is our birthright.
When the ego is unified with the Being through unconditional Love, we can come to realize the Kingdom of Heaven that Jesus spoke about.
By giving ourselves the eyes to see who we really are, the ego can be married with God and they become One. In this way God is truly glorified because we allow God's presence in the material world through our physical form.
As we peel away judgment and limitations from the mind, we continue to experience the Light of Christ radiating through us into our lives. And, we recognize it within everyone - no matter how much control they have given over to their minds and egos.
The inner Light does not emanate from the mind, the ego or any part of the material self. It is the expression that flowers from our allowing the source within us to be preeminent.
When we consistently redirect our thoughts into alignment with our unlimited aspect, the ego becomes a clearer channel for expression of the Christ within. Mind your mind, and let the Christ Live!!

Centering
It's wise to seek centering because when we're centered, the call of our soul can be heard more clearly.
Our minds are so strong already that they tend to run our lives out of habits picked up through many life experiences. The work to be done is in controlling the mind to follow the spirit, and opening our hearts to be receptive to the unconditional Love that is our essence. I recommend a daily practice of Kundalini Yoga to get used to summoning your Being into your daily life.
The true you is the only thing that endures. Family and loved ones can be a source of happiness and emotional love (which always contain their opposites), but only you have the power to create the pure Joy that comes from being the expression of your true Self in this lifetime.
You are the center of the Universe, and everything that you experience is your creation. Create your life Joyful by learning to follow the subtle voice of your soul toward that which glorifies yourself as part of everything else.
2+2=4
People tend to put a lot of emphasis on knowing many answers without ever really understanding the question.Faith and belief are exactly what determine that which is "known", for without observation there is nothing but limitless possibilities. Once we believe something like 2+2=4, we feel more intelligent, but in reality our minds have just been closed to any other possibility.
We're not here to acquire knowledge for any other reason but to have FUN with it. The idea that we are learning because "things are a certain way, and this is the way they will always be" turns powerful creators into comatose creatures of habit and prisoners of mind.
Only when our minds are flexible and free can we be receptive to ALL possibilities that are possible now.
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.
What is Truth?
Many people following religious belief systems live in fear of being deceived by people who hold truths that are different from what they have been taught, or what their group believes. Here is a rather lengthy, but interesting discussion I had with some devout Christians on this subject:
Colin Warning: half-truths are still whole lies.
True dat!

So true!

Thank you for posting such a rich topic for discussion!
Both truth and untruth are only perceptions of the mind. But our spirit is not of the mind - our spirit is unified with the Divine at a level where mind does not exist.
Through our minds we can become so attached to OUR truth that we fear truth from another perspective. But when we are consolidated with our own truth, we can accept all others because understanding one another cannot harm or distort our truth
Conversely, when we have adopted the truth of another person or group, our truth is a fragile belief - not truth of understanding. This is the basis of fear, and fear is the ultimate illusion.
