Nothing, except our thought energy, can detract from the Joyful perspective of source consciousness, which we were born to express.  Every human thought is source consciousness as it is filtered through beliefs held in the mind. Everything in our experience is a projection of our thought energy, and only through transforming our conscious and subconscious limiting beliefs can we achieve the results we desire.

The Joyful perspective of source consciousness belongs to everyone. It’s just a matter of focusing through the mind and not from it.

The practice of awareness in the present moment brings us closer to understanding truth that transcends material reality, and allows us to use our energy to bring blessings to the world.

In awareness, our perception of conflict is valuable because it is the energetic spark that inspires conscious creativity. However, if we find that anything in the world needs fixing, our mind is being controlled by our own egocentric sense of self importance, and creating energy that causes more manifestations of what we do not like.

No matter what form consciousness takes, if we depend on any circumstance for our sense of freedom and well being, we are creating emotional attachment. It is this attachment, not money or anything else, that is the root of all mental anguish.

Many well meaning people work very hard to change things they do not like about money, constantly battling greed, resentment, fear, and desperation. These people validate their ego by offering thoughts about how sorry they feel for the “victims” of our monetary system, and how they need to do something to help restrain the greedy people.

Any action steps taken from these mindsets emanate from emotion, and they provide comfort to the ego by creating a sense that the person is doing “good”. However, even if we achieve material results from our action, if that action emanated from a disturbing emotion, we have simply created more of the same energy we were aiming to abate.

Once we become aware of the mental concepts that create our dis-ease, we are prepared to create the total freedom and well being that is our birthright. But there is never any enduring value to action taken from within an emotional state.

Align your thoughts with Love around money and every other manifestation of conscious energy, and create more Joy in your experience through the power of Divine perspective.

Emotion allows us to determine whether our current point of focus is projecting for anything that we want to manifest. Our present feeling indicates how our projected manifestation will feel based on the beliefs we currently follow.

Our present manifestation and corresponding emotion is always perfect based on all thought that has come before. Most of that thought has been involuntary as we have simply believed the thoughts presented by the mind, and they became our truth.

To create new momentum requires new beliefs, which can be created through consistent attention to our feelings and deliberate redirection of our thought patterns. If we are feeling anything other than blissful, we are attuned to self limiting beliefs in the mind.

With attention, we can identify those beliefs and offer thoughts that feel better. There is no limit to how good our thoughts can feel because whatever we sincerely believe is our truth.

When we follow our thoughts into a feeling place we don’t like, the point where we redirect our thoughts sets a precedent for our emotional low point with respect to the subject point of focus. This makes it easier to turn the tide the next time we find ourselves riding the same or similar thought wave.

As we continue this practice, we can create new belief patterns and then release them as we systematically raise our emotional set point higher.

Every moment is a new beginning, and we can only begin from our current feeling place by offering thoughts that we can believe in the present moment. How far we progress in this lifetime depends on how patient and compassionate we are with ourselves.

Specifically, belief patterns are hard wired biologically, and breaking free from them requires cooperation from our ego. If we judge or condemn ourselves for not attaining what we think we should, we create resistance which impedes our progress.

The feelings we project are the same feelings we are attracting. Everything in our experience is a lesson, and depending on how we perceive what has already been created, we project for what comes next.

When in an uncomfortable or painful emotion, breathe deeply and remember that you are not limited to the limitations of mind. Simply appreciate the lesson and allow it to guide your progression toward the experience of your Divine essence.

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.

Drawing of Hope's Spiritual Wing - June 2010

Erica has also been gifted with the ability to draw the wings as she sees them, and with stunning detail.  Erica can even visualize the wings without the physical presence of the person or object to which they belong.  In fact, she can perform readings for anyone, anywhere, even if she has never met them in person.

Erica’s wing readings consist of a single wing drawing followed by a verbal interpretation of its spiritual meaning. Since the wings look identical to Erica, she focuses on one of them to capture all of the necessary detail.

The wing drawing takes Erica about three hours to complete, with her clients generally not being present during that time.  Her client is presented with the finished product on fine art paper, at which time Erica offers her interpretation and answers any questions.

I am amazed at the detail and fine attributes captured by Erica in her drawing of my wing, and her interpretation provided well timed guidance along my spiritual path. If you are reading this, it may be time for you to see what your wings look like, and gain some insight into their meaning.

Erica’s spiritual wing readings can be performed for anyone, anywhere.  Just call or email Erica for an appointment. Phone: 714-458-6844 or Email: Tmttq86@yahoo.com

It’s generally beneficial to have a new wing reading every six months to one year in order to check in and keep on track with our spiritual development.

When we develop our inner vision, we can recognize the Christ in all people. That recognition is an energetic summoning of the inner Light to penetrate the layers of mind, memory and emotion – and live through the physical form.

In this way, we promote our collective evolution toward the peaceful reality that is our birthright.

We are so intricately connected to one another that we cannot be separate except through mental perception. We are also attracting everything that we experience.

When our thoughts only regurgitate what we already know of humanity, our energy serves to reinforce the patterns of mind that are already being followed.

If we do not deliberately access our creativity by offering thought outside of what’s rational, we are creating by default. Most people are creating more of what we don’t want because our thoughts are predominantly focused on the aspects of humanity that feel less than Joyful.

By minding our minds, we move toward our center, and from a more centered vantage point we project – and thereby create gloriously. Be open to experience the Divine through the physical form, and create Heaven in the only time-space it can ever exist – Here and Now.

The “others” in our experience are only a reflection of ourselves.   Divine energy comes from the core of our being, not from anything outside of ourselves.

Every person is an individual, and when we expect them to act according to our own will, we end up disappointed.   But when we place our focus on how we enjoy being treated by “others”, without attachment to the “who”, the people currently in our experience receive an energetic invitation to shift into resonance with our new vibratory offering.

If they are prepared to shift their energy to a higher frequency, they will accept the invitation, and our experience of them will change.   If they are not so prepared, they will fall away from our experience, making way for those who are a match the vibratory patterns that we are offering.

However, when we are resistant to certain behavior, we are resisting particular energetic patterns that reside within our Being.   By resisting any part of ourselves, we are feeding the energetic current that sustains what we are resisting, and we are attracting more material manifestations of it into our experience.

Acceptance is the key to allowing ourselves to receive the reflection of pure Love from “other” people.   When we accept people fully, we give energy that summons their highest and deepest Self to be present in their lives, and that reflects back to us as Love.

Speaking of giving, many times we give to “others” because we believe that someone needs our help, and/or we expect something in return.   Depending upon how much time, physical energy, money, fight, etc., we have given, we create an esteemed self image.

However, the belief that anyone needs us 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 is eternally free and unaffected by anything in the material world.  That dissonance creates emotional disturbance in our perception of reality.

Giving that is derived from disturbing feelings creates little or nothing of enduring value because it is our energy, not our action that determines our potency.   The energy behind our efforts affects our shared reality in a way that cannot be quantified in the physical world, and if our energy is disturbed we are creating more disturbance – even if we bring about measurable improvement on the physical/material level.

Contrarily, when we direct our thoughts into vibratory harmony with our forever Self, we glorify everything even if we do nothing at all. This is because our thoughts are always commanding creation, and when we think from a vantage point that perceives our true desires, reality unfolds in glorious ways.

In this regard, the most important thing we can do for the All is to infuse our awareness with Joy by focusing our thoughts accordingly. In this way, giving springs effortlessly from the abundance of a Joyful heart as we bestow immeasurable value that endures forever.

Keep aligning your mental energy with your Divine Self, and be the gift that keeps on giving!

The ego is the mental process that creates our self image from the thoughts that we project. When we project thoughts that evoke shame, those thoughts and associated feelings are repressed by the ego because it believes it needs to protect our self image from being perceived as “shameful”.

The culmination of what the ego represses is known as the “shadow self”. In its effort to keep the shadow hidden from our awareness, the ego manufactures labels for other people who demonstrate the behavior that mirrors our shadow.

Because being exposed to our mirror resurrects the shadow, and thereby causes us to feel shameful, the ego labels that behavior as “bad”, “wrong” or “evil”, and offers thoughts of condemnation in order to make our self image appear “righteous”. Of course the ego always has to be “right” in condemning anyone because it has already labeled the opposite as “wrong”.

While condemnation creates a sense of egocentric self importance, it is also the cause of much suffering.

Specifically, when we are in any thought pattern of condemnation, our mental energy projects shame for other people.  Shameful energy can only result in more of the condemned behavior manifesting in our experience, which causes our suffering.

This is because when we are in a state of condemnation, our mental energy is projecting the energetic current that creates and sustains the same behavior that we are condemning; and whatever we project we attract. Also, the more consistently we place our energy in condemnation, the more energy we supply to our own shadow which may eventually overpower our own “good” intentions.

After all, condemnation is really a reflection of our own hidden desires, and to the degree that we are repressing anything, the ego offers thoughts to condemn it. It’s a cycle of pain in the repression of the desires we have allowed to shame us.

These cycles can be diffused by anyone, but only through exposure to the Light of their awareness. When we take responsibility for that which disturbs us instead of condemning it, we can embrace the belief patterns that are the real cause of our dis-ease.

By simply letting go of our attachment to what the “other” is doing and focus instead on projecting only Joy for ourselves, we create peace in the mind, which reinforces the energetic current of Well Being for ourselves and for everyone.

Condemnation is self inflicted suffering that can be healed through acceptance and Self Love. By staying attentive to and redirecting our thoughts, we can turn our tendency to condemn into healing energy for ourselves and for the world.

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.

Because we are rational and logical humans, our first reaction in response to what we perceive as governmental abuse is to project thoughts about “battle”. However, government is created and sustained by the energy of fear, and we are only willing to engage in battle against anything if we are projecting an energy of fear – in this case the fear is that we cannot or may not be able to do the things we like.

When our thoughts about government feel disturbing, we are adding energy to the current that creates that disturbance. Without our energetic support in this manner, governmental regulations would have no authority over us.

Likewise, when our thoughts about other people feel disturbing, and we feel better about the prospect of government controlling them, we are creating a government that controls us.

We are not separate from government. It is exactly as we have created it based on all thoughts projected by the collective consciousness of those who have given thought to it.

When we notice anything about government that we would like to change, we have the power to redirect our thoughts from being in vibratory alignment with what we consider a “problem” to vibratory alignment with what we consider the “improvement.

When we shift our focus in this manner, we become receptive to all the possibilities that lead to the manifestations we desire. From there we have only to seize the opportunities as they arise by followig the path of least resistance toward what we have created.

Everyone is invited to shift their energetic offering from fear to acceptance; and join forces with those of us who are changing the world through the power of deliberate perspective. Mind your mind, and create peace therein.  From there, your vision for yourself and for the world can be made manifest as a blessing to All.

Each person is a vehicle transporting a powerful being though this time-space environment, and every being is another aspect of the real You. If you could see people as they really are, you would know that the self image is only a projection of the belief patterns currently being followed by the ego.

The real Self orchestrates everything in our experience for the refinement of our being. A suicide experience is the culmination of all thoughts projected by the various egos through which the being has expressed over many lifetimes.

Self limiting beliefs create patterns of energy in our vibration that resist our true essence. The trials and tribulations (such as suicidal tendencies) to which the ego is subjected are for the purpose of exposing those resistant patterns, which creates opportunity for deep healing.

When anyone feels sorry for another person, they join in the other person’s suffering. By joining in the suffering of another, we add energy to current of resistance, which can only serve to reinforce that which keeps them bound to illusion and dis-ease.
When dealing with a suicidal friend, look past the surface of personal pain, and offer comfort to the inner being by seeing them for how they truly are – powerful and pure! From that perspective, you are adding to the energetic current of healing and total well being, and any action you take, If you are so inspired, will be much more effective.

It takes courage to be compassionate. Gather your strength from within, and you will prevail.
