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.

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.

Our awareness is drawn into the illusion of the material world with everything that enters our perception. Based ON what we perceive, the mind offers thoughts that perpetuate the illusion – which is wonderful because without a mind based in illusion, we would not perceive anything.

Awareness allows us to perceive the illusion as necessary to have a life, while dismissing thoughts that limit us from being who we really are in our lives. No matter how much attention we give to awareness, we will never completely lift the veil between our limited and unlimited aspects.

But our attention does allow us to create our life experience in amazing ways. Every thought is an opportunity to practice awareness. Keep bringing your attention back to the aspect of you that is unlimited, and be great!!

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.

Human awareness is the key that unlocks the heavenly reality that is our shared destiny. Through our individual sense of self (personal ego), we determine the extent to which we allow the true essence of our Divine nature to be expressed through our material forms.

The ego is always on the “outside” because it cannot know the inner workings of the Universe through the limitations of mind.  But the “window” to the “inside” world is our experience in the present moment – which is a direct reflection of the belief patterns that are creating our reality.

Everything in existence is created and sustained by the Life Force Energy that is existence itself. Existence takes no sides – it simply creates according to all thought that has come before. All thought for the specific creation of our shared reality here on Earth is projected through the ego – which is the thinking process that transcends all time and is shared by all of humanity.

Because the ego does not know the real Self, it is afraid of being “wrong”. Thus the ego projects a false sense of fear that prevents us from questioning our deeply held beliefs.  In this way, the majority of humans unconsciously follow the same habitual mental patterns that have been created by those who have come before.

The mind is very convincing, but the true Self is infinitely more powerful than its creation.  Through our awareness in the present moment, we can give ourselves the ability to see and understand which thought patterns are resisting the heavenly world that is our shared destiny – and redirect them.

Specifically, when we notice anything we do not like, the one to forgive is ego for creating and repeating disturbing thought patterns. Total responsibility and self forgiveness releases resistance to what has already been created – thereby allowing us to create something new.

As we forgive our dissonant thought patterns, we can project new thoughts that are independent of those we have been habitually following. Through regular attention and practice, we can develop new habits of thought that serve our shared purpose.

Every one of us can make a difference for this and future lifetimes.  Let’s direct the Light of our awareness to dissolve our limitations and create a peaceful reality Now.

Having medical insurance gives us a false sense of control over our experience with dis-ease. But in reality, we always experience dis-ease to the degree that we have attracted it with our thoughts.

While having medical insurance may make it possible to control the costs associated with bodily dis-ease, shutting off one possibility for suffering only serves to redirect any suffering we have attracted to manifest in a different way.

Tense thoughts resist the radiant health that is our true essence. That resistance creates energetic blockages in the body and brain which eventually manifest as physical blockages and dis-ease.

Moreover, tense thoughts put us in energetic rhythm with possibilities that would evoke more tension from our perspective. This is the way we attract dis-ease in the form of circumstance.

For these reasons, the best health insurance is a still and peaceful mind. Total Well Being is available to everyone.  Just as soon we align our energy with the source of all wellness, we are healed!

It serves us to realize that because we have believed in the illusion that we are victims of circumstance, we have created our own fear, and insurance companies are a manifestation of our perceived need to control that fear. But since many of us have been deeply conditioned with this fear, until one develops their awareness enough to feel their own creative power, it may give them more peace of mind to keep their health insurance temporarily.

The key to creating abundance in every area of life, including health, is the practice of awareness. To discover more about your real Self and how awareness can work for you, please see: Your Real Self

The best health insurance is thoughts that glorify what’s true within us. Experience your true Self and be healed!

The beginner may feel excited and optimistic about getting what they want, and thus they become eager to reap the benefits of deliberate creation.  But biological imprints from past lives coupled with the conditioning we have received during this lifetime have formed powerful habit patterns that lead most people back into delusion and despair.

Because our mental programming is so powerful, the odds of becoming a deliberate creator are stacked against us. It takes practice and repetition before our energy shifts enough to make a noticeable difference in our lives.

For this reason, faith is the foundation that gives us the ability to maintain intent over whatever amount of time it takes for the individual to transform.  Through faith we can find the courage to keep going until the benefits speak loudly all by themselves.

Each thought is our energetic offering that determines what we are manifesting, and only in the moments of attentiveness are we able to expose and redirect self limiting thoughts as they arise. In doing so, we shift our energy for that moment – which positively affects our manifestation.

But until we shift our underlying beliefs, we are constantly bombarded with thoughts that entice us back into the illusion of separation and limitation. For this reason, persistent practice is the key to developing an individual perspective that leads to infinite blessings.

Each time we ask the question: “How am I feeling and what am I thinking?”, our energetic offering is improved in that moment of awareness.  By making it a habit to “check in”, we eventually retrain the body and mind to be receptive to more beneficial thought patterns.

It’s also very helpful to quiet the mind through a practice of meditation in order to get accustomed to controlling the thought waves of the mind.  (Please see the links below from some great guided meditations to get you started)

As we continue to consistently practice awareness, we become more attuned to the thoughts that serve our purpose.  Sometimes this will feel difficult, especially when in the throes of extreme emotion.

But practicing patience with oneself is also an important part of exercising awareness.  Don’t worry if you cannot bring awareness to your thoughts for a time, but keep trying and have faith that you will return to your practice when ready.

You cannot fail and it will never be too late, but the longer you allow yourself to remain in illusion, the more difficulties you are creating for yourself.

Let your Will be the tool of your spirit by consistently bringing your thoughts back to truth, and deliver yourself on the course of your destiny.

It’s important to remember that we are not our bodies or our minds, but the spirit that expresses through them. Our minds are very limited, and thus they can never know what the spirit wants.

While every desire is Divine and honorable, each one is also a creative invitation for the mind to get into rhythm with the Joyful nature of the Universe.   When our vibratory offering is in perfect rhythm and flowing with spirit, we become conduits for our true Self to express through our bodies and minds – and our lives unfold effortlessly and gloriously.

But in practice, we tend to attach ourselves to specific outcomes – meaning we make ourselves feel dependent on something in the material world to make us happy.  This feeling of attachment is rooted in emotion, and its energy is counterproductive for creating anything we want.

Specifically, when we feel emotionally attached to anything, it’s because we are afraid of feeling how we felt before when we didn’t get what we wanted. This causes our energy to be expressed through emotion, and is exactly what keeps us from creating our lives according to our true desires.

The path of least resistance is very difficult to see while when our vision is impeded by the emotions that underlie our attachment. That’s why it’s imperative that we expose our emotions to the Light of our awareness if we expect to move forward in life.

Through practice and attention, we can release that which binds us to what we know – and open ourselves to the blessings that are presently unknown. By staying alert and attentive to every emotion, we can notice the physical and mental tension associated with attachment to our desires, and consciously observe them along with their associated thoughts.

By simply remembering that we are not our mind or emotion, we may be able to redirect our thoughts into alignment with what’s true about our real Self. But if the emotion does not immediately dissolve, that’s fine.

While in an emotional state, it’s helpful to take no action or as little action as possible so that we can just rest and observe our thoughts and feelings while consciously releasing tension in the body. Whenever we feel ready, another effort can be made to redirect our thoughts for improvement of our emotional/vibratory offering.

It’s common for feelings of failure or self-judgment to present themselves in conjunction with an extreme emotional state. But by loving ourselves unconditionally, we release the layers of self-judgment that otherwise prevent us from accessing and exposing the root cause of emotional attachment.

There is no hurry, but the time is always now to be presently present. Expose yourself to yourself in order to release attachment and deliver your body and mind into vibratory resonance with the Divine flow.

The most difficult thing we have to do is release mental tension about how anything turns out. As we release, we begin to recognize the Divine flow and learn to ride it’s rhythm toward the fulfillment of our destiny.

The energy of our thought has such tremendous power that the situations we feel stuck in are only manifestations of the self-limiting beliefs we keep regurgitating based upon what we perceive in our environment. The only way out is to disregard reason and develop a vision that does not make accommodations for anything that already exists.

Dare to dream as big as you are able and feel the sheer Joy of it. The balance of your feelings is the energy that you are projecting into the world, and that energy is always becoming your manifestation for yourself and for the world.

It doesn’t matter what anyone else is doing or thinking. That’s really none of your business. You came here to be a creator in your own right. Whatever is happening around you can only affect your vision if you allow it to play in your mind.

Don’t worry about overdue bills, controlling governments, greedy corporations or disease. Sure they exist, but your fretful energy keeps them alive and well.

Become impartial to the things that are not Joyful to you. You have the power to know about these things without feeling bound by them or otherwise offering your energy to support them.

Likewise, it doesn’t matter what you have done up to this moment, your time is always Now!

Bask in the beauty and sheer delight of a wide open mind, receptive to all the possibilities that cannot be seen through the perception of what has already been created. Be who you are where you are, but know that you are so much more.

Stay alert and present to your thoughts. If they feel less than Joyful, gently remind yourself that your thoughts are creating right now.

It’s perfectly fine if you can’t come back right away. Let yourself feel the emotional charge that your thoughts have created. Breathe deeply and release the tension in your body.

Love yourself unconditionally, and keep bringing back the vision because it feels good. And feeling good means your body and mind are receptive to opportunities that lead to the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

No matter what you say or do, nothing has more creative value than the energy of your thoughts. Despite everything else, be true to you and let your vision be the pure light that guides you on the Joyful journey through this lifetime.

We have conditioned ourselves to believe that hard work and struggle is the way to create a meaningful life. In accordance with those beliefs, we sacrifice our health, happiness and peace of mind to meet the expectations for “success” created by our perception of self through the eyes of other people.

But our real power is our creativity, not physical or mental prowess. Our human abilities to calculate and act are only tools for physical movement toward that which we have already created through the energy of our thoughts.

Since most of us emanate energy that projects our beliefs in physical labor and/or mental cunningness as a way of life, we wind up working ourselves into dis-ease in our attempt to accomplish a fleeting sense of self worth. Fear and fatigue permeate our lives as we compete against one another to gain money, status, respect and love from sources outside of ourselves.

When we work ourselves into what feels like bondage, we either continue working in a depressed state of mind, or seek charity either from government or people we consider more fortunate. And eventually many of us give up entirely, resigning ourselves to a life of mental and physical illness because we can see no way out.

But faith is knowledge that the unlimited possibilities for progression toward our destiny lie largely in what we cannot see; and that each step will become apparent as soon as we are prepared.  When our thought energy is aligned with our desires, the next step to facilitate their manifestation becomes obvious and feels Joyful.

Those of us who lack faith mostly think of all the circumstantial difficulties between what we are and what we wish we could be, while condemning people who we perceive as greedy, selfish or unfair. Then we endeavor to work feverishly toward what we think we deserve and/or use mental manipulation to control people or situations.

Most of us who achieve substantial monetary gain in this manner deal with guilt and depravation in many other areas of our lives. To compensate, many of us become “do-gooders”, giving money to charities that help the so-called less fortunate.

Even the charities we tend to support extend our ignorance in the belief that certain people are powerless and impotent; which only adds to the energy that makes them so. The reality is that the more we give with misplaced energy, the more lack we create in the world.

The truth is that every single person on Earth is born into this material environment to be powerful creators, not by our own works but through focus upon our desires coupled with inspired action which can only follow knowledge that every desire is already fulfilled. Our ability to visualize our desires being manifest is the power that synchronizes everything in the material world toward the fulfillment of them.

If we are not feeling the Joyful energy that match the manifestation of our desires, our work accomplishes nothing but further identification with struggle as a way of being in the material world.

Until we are able to sacrifice the egocentric sense of self, we cannot fully experience the blessings and beauty that we have come forth to create. This means releasing the sense that we have to do anything at all and learning to enjoy being in the present moment without worry or despair.

Be true to you and let the inspired actions that follow your creativity describe your purpose.
