This is because existence is the infinite expansion of consciousness, and in our world, intelligence fuels that expansion by driving the creative force toward greater leaps in creativity. Every human expression is the culmination of every thought that has come before, as the individual being has evolved over many lifetimes as many different species.

At present, humans are the only species endowed with the level of intelligence that commands the creative force with specificity.  As such, human thought is on the leading edge of creativity.

Whatever possibilities we humans create for ourselves, we are also creating for everything else. Indeed, beings currently expressing themselves as animals, trees, etc., are all evolving toward the human experience.

Animals do not perceive the world as humans do – they live more from a vibrational perspective and summon the creative force for manifestations that support life on Earth.

Unlike humans, animals express their preferences from an instinctual rather than a material perspective.

Through their thought-based projections, animals contribute greatly to the sustenance of the environment on Earth as being conducive to human life.   They do so effortlessly, simply by living in rhythm with their environment, and following the flow of life through the perception of Unconditional Love.

However, humans are the judges of the world. Thus it is we who are responsible for everything in the reality shared by every creature on Earth.

It is our thought-based projections that create the vibratory environment that everything else projects back to us.  While all other forms of consciousness are supporting our survival, humans are creating well beyond this basic instinct.

To be human is a gift that the soul has done nothing special to receive, and every Earth-bound being is on its journey to becoming human. However, humanity is not the end of our journey. Once our being is expressed through the human mind, we continue to evolve toward more conscious expression in the progression of the creative manifestation that is our world.

The more we allow consciousness to prevail in our lives, the more we come to appreciate animals and every other expression of consciousness that supports us. The more we appreciate everything in our environment, the more our world represents our perception of harmony.

Humans can learn a lot about allowing from animals, and when we develop our ability to couple allowing with creativity, our thought-energy manifests blessings for ourselves and everything else.

Like always attracts like, and onto itself it is drawn. This is a fundamental law of the Universe. Even though opposite poles attract, they must have a resonant vibration, otherwise they will repel each other.

The thought patterns that each individual has projected from this and all previous lifetimes determines the environment in which they find themselves now. This is because humans are attracted to other humans by virtue of mental energy – the coalescence of which determines collective consciousness for a particular environment – and collective consciousness dictates our default perception of shared environments.

Most of us do not yet realize the power we have to affect our shared environments because we are conditioned to believe that the reality we know is created by “others”, and that change must be preceded by undue suffering, struggle or even war. Whether there are arguments in our homes, gossip in our workplace, dishonesty in our government, or hunger in our world – the human ego seeks to lay blame on something, someone, or some group of people that appears to be outside of the Self.

But no one is separate from the whole, and each individual is the same energy that has contributed to the creation of all belief patterns in the shared mind that manifest in our individual and shared reality. If we find ourselves or anyone else suffering, it’s because we have believed in our own limitation and/or we have judged those we perceive as “others”.

This does not mean that anything is our fault. The human mind is born in limitation because limitation is the basis of a material reality, and we are not held liable or judged by anyone but ourselves.

However, everything is our responsibility in that the ego commands the creative force to manifest according what we have projected, and we have the ability to project that which can create the change we seek. Only by accepting responsibility, embracing our uncomfortable feelings, and forgiving ourselves for projecting the thought patterns that have created conflict, can we effectively shift (instead of reinforce) the beliefs being projected by collective consciousness.

Applying the Practice

When we notice anything we do not like, we can transmute our uncomfortable emotional energy to calm deliberate energy – and create new momentum for ourselves with the following process:

1. Take a moment to realize that what we are perceiving is a reflection of what we have projected
2. Direct our awareness to the feeling that realization creates in the body
3. Breathe deeply into the uncomfortable feeling while forgiving ourselves for having projected it
4. Once we feel the uncomfortable feeling shift to calm excitement, offer thoughts that match what we want to create

Similarly, when we notice anything we do like, we can use the resultant happy emotion to focus our creative energy to attract more of what we prefer with the following process:

1. Take a moment to realize that what we are perceiving is a reflection of what we have projected
2. Direct our awareness to the feeling that realization creates in the body
3. Breathe deeply into that feeling while thanking the creative force (which is the broader aspect of ourselves) for the manifestation
4. Offer thoughts of appreciation for what we are receiving instead of worry or dread over the experience coming to an end in a future that does not exist

Perhaps the best place to test and develop this practice is within the home or workplace because we can easily evaluate and refine our ability on a smaller scale. For example, if we perceive a family member, boss, client or coworker as angry – for the final step of this process we can offer thoughts that change our perception of them to being jovial, kind, romantic or whatever we most prefer.

What to Expect

As we consistently and deliberately shift our mental energy, we will begin to notice that the people and behavior we are attracting starts to shift.  On a subconscious level, our new perspective invites everyone who experiences our energy to shift their thought patterns into alignment with what we are projecting.

As our new perspective becomes more believable in our perception, our energy is becoming very different. Thus, the people we have previously associated with can only continue to be attracted to us if their energy continues to resonate with ours by virtue of the belief patterns they are choosing to follow.

In this way, unhappy relationships and situations will easily fall away in favor of those that resonate with our new perspective. During these transitions, fear can permeate our thoughts, and it can be very tempting to return to our old belief patterns in order to maintain the status quo. This is because the ego is programmed to fear what it does not know.

However, if we persevere we will reap all the benefits of our efforts by creating a more Joyful reality for ourselves, while contributing to the creation of a more Joyful reality for the entire world. While our own energy is a small contribution to global consciousness, every person who experiences us is also changed on an energetic level, and as the new patterns of belief are supported by more individuals, our once unorthodox perception of reality will become a mental habit that Earth’s present inhabitants and future generations are drawn toward.

Celebrate your independence by making a commitment to offer independent thought no matter what else is happening, and be the one to start a new momentum for yourself and for our shared reality.

The energy of our thoughts either deepens the grooves of current belief patterns or creates new ones. When we offer independent thought, we command creation for something new – but most of us offer thoughts that follow wherever collective consciousness is leading them.

When we take responsibility and forgive ourselves for the dissonant thoughts that have created anything unpleasant in our experience, we become more receptive to independent thought, and thereby improve our individual reality while redirecting collective consciousness to project for a more Joyful shared reality.

Our individual egos are not separate. As we heal ourselves, we heal the world.

Consciousness is the creative force that makes change possible. For without creative consciousness, there could be no perspective for change.

All living things are the extension of creative consciousness made manifest to benefit existence through individually focused perspectives in an environment of contrast. Planet Earth and all of its inhabitant life forms are vehicles for experiences that inspire the creativity that leads to the continual expansion of the Universe.

As individuals, we sense what is in our reality, and that causes us to project our preferences for change into the Universe. Those preferences are immediately created as energetic possibilities for our soul – which changes and expands the Universe.

While every preference confers a benefit to the Universe that is immediate and eternal, a preference only manifests in our individual experience when the energy of our beliefs becomes a vibratory match to it. By changing our beliefs accordingly, our material self expands toward the new possibilities we have created.

If our beliefs do not change, we energetically bind ourselves to the situations and circumstances that have already been created in our experience. In this way, we resist becoming unified with the possibilities we have created for what we would perceive as improvement.

Resistance to change doesn’t prevent us from being a benefit to existence because we continue projecting preferences for change until physical death.  But resistance does cause us to experience less Joy because our lives exist in a constant flow of energy, and when our energy is stagnant dis-ease becomes our experience.

Because it is the nature of the human ego to resist change within ourselves, we naturally seek happiness by changing and/or condemning the outside world. As we follow the nature of ego, we develop greater fear of true change because ego perceives inward change as death to itself.

Through resistance to change, we develop an egocentric sense of self importance and false pride, from which we employ hard work and dedication to manage worldly changes. In doing so, we manipulate people and situations to benefit our individual self (or our cause) as if we were disconnected from the balance of creation.

But outward changes in and of themselves only validate our egocentric fear of death, which causes us to worship the cleverness of mind as the creative master of our lives.  Since we are truly spiritual beings, we can never be fulfilled by outward achievements, and chasing them only leads to feelings of desperation and despair.

However, through inner focus coupled with the courage to harmonize with our preferences despite all external circumstances, outward change happens as the effortless manifestation of what we are becoming.  Moreover, when those changes are received with appreciation and humility, they glorify the core of our Being – which is the only part of ourselves that endures forever.

We are only capable of creating our reality from a self-centered perspective, and when we allow the energy of our beliefs to change with the constant development of our preferences, we cultivate our own peace of mind.  As we experience inner peace, we heal conflict and dis-ease in ourselves and in the world to which we are intricately connected.

That which we practice being is what we are becoming. When we practice being unified with our preferences, in appreciation of all that is, the things we achieve are simply the Joyful expression of what we are becoming.

There is nothing to do but relax into being the real You. Be the change you wish for the world and keep becoming toward the purpose of your inner Truth.

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.

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.

According to what we think we can be, do or have, every cell in the body and brain become receptive to the information in our environment that will prepare us to receive what we have projected for. Through focus upon what brings Joy to the heart and the feeling of Loving energy with heartfelt desire, the cells of the body move into energetic alignment with that desire.

Through being in alignment with Joy, we become receptive to the unlimited opportunities that can lead us to the manifestation of what we want.  But when we are focused on anything that evokes a feeling that is less than Joyful, we align ourselves with the possibilities that lead to manifestations we would perceive with a similar feeling.

When our perception of life circumstances causes our energetic offering to be less than Joyful, we can gently shift our energy back by dismissing circumstantial limitations and returning our focus to what we want.  Likewise, when our minds are involved in calculations about how we will accomplish things, we can gently remind ourselves that “how” is not our business.

Our actions only follow our energy, and every action is induced by our energy based upon the feelings that emanate from the story we tell about ourselves. To the extent that we have knowledge aka faith that every one of our desires is being honored by the Universe, our energy aligns with the information that leads us there.

However, since most of us tell a story that includes many reasons why we cannot create what we truly want, we mostly receive and act upon information that leads to confirmation of that story.

Similarly, when we try to use the mind to figure out how to get there or we try to manipulate outcomes in our favor, we make ourselves receptive to information that leads to a lot of hard work, manipulation and struggle. While this may lead to fulfillment of our desires, it is much more difficult and never leads to a lasting experience of Joy.

Moreover, since our desires are always changing, the vision gets lost in the details when we try to achieve from the level of mind.   In order to be the creators we were born to be, we have only to align our thoughts with what feels Joyful in the present moment, be alert to opportunities for action that feels Joyful, and have the courage to act on those opportunities.

Our bodies and minds are only tools for the creativity of spirit, so submit yourself to your higher power and prevail!!

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.

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.

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.
