When we experience an emotion that evokes our desire for change, that’s a wonderful thing because desire is the voice of our creative aspect summoning us to evolve our awareness and grow.  We accept that invitation by accepting ourselves fully, exactly as we are Now.

Only from the perspective of acceptance do we become receptive to thoughts that allow our evolution to be more in alignment with our specifications.

On the other hand, if we perceive ourselves to be in need of “improvement”, we make ourselves receptive to resistant thoughts which keep us stuck in what is already known about our present state of being. Any perceived need for improvement causes us to focus on what we WANT as being “better” than what IS, and that prevents us from evolving our present what IS to what can BE.

Specifically, until we can accept our present state of being, we remain focused on what IS, and whatever we focus upon grows in our experience.  But once we have fully accepted who and where we are NOW, our focus shifts toward that which allows us to become MORE.

For example, by deciding that some of our thoughts or emotions are “negative”, the mind perceives our state of being as something wrong that needs to be fixed.  Because this belief is so out of alignment with our true essence, it causes us to attract more thoughts that evoke negative emotion.

Feeling an uncomfortable emotion is an indication that we have forgotten ourselves and we are being summoned to return. Labeling, condemning or trying to change our emotions is not returning, but the offering of more thoughts based in delusion.

Delusion can only exist in darkness, and the moment it is exposed to the Light of awareness, delusion is dissolved thereby. However, the Light can never be attained from a place of delusion until it is allowed through the window of acceptance.

Acceptance is attained by releasing all effort and simply observing our emotion in mental silence. Through unattached observation of the ego as it deals with emotion, we can see through the layers of mind to expose the delusional beliefs that have been impeding our progression.

Through conscious observation, the beliefs that do not resonate with Truth are immediately resolved, along with their emotional charge.  However, because most of our beliefs are deeply ingrained habits in the mind to which we have become attuned, awareness must be a consistent practice in order to dissolve delusional beliefs as they re-emerge and to create new habits of belief in alignment with the true reality.

While no thought or emotion can be more perfect than another, we Do have the power to evolve our experience of NOW toward Blessings like we have never known before. Every emotion is an invitation to practice awareness and make it so.

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.

The practice of awareness is meditation in action which not only gives us control over the direction of our thoughts and lives, but it further conditions the mind to serve our higher purpose.

The belief that anyone’s behavior can disturb us is delusional. Our entire reality is in our perception, and we can only attract that which we project. So if we feel disturbed, it’s our own energy that created the disturbance, and thoughts that emanate from a disturbed feeling can only create more of the same.

We can determine whether any belief is delusional based on how it feels. Our real Self is eternally Joyful, so if our thoughts feel less than Joyful, the underlying beliefs are delusional.

We are constantly subject to delusional thoughts because we are having a material experience which is entirely based in delusion. However, the consistent practice of awareness allows us to identify thoughts based in delusion, relax our tension, and redirect those thoughts toward Joy when we’re ready.

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.

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.

Diets are about struggle and deprivation.  We subscribe to them because we falsely believe that we must sacrifice in order to attain a healthy physique.

Whenever we resist anything, it manifests more in our experience. This means that as long as we are focused on losing weight, we are attracting weight gain.  We may be able to force our bodies into submission for a time (or even entire lifetimes), but struggle around weight and food will continue to be our experience unless we redirect the vibration that we are projecting.

In order to manifest our perfect body easily, it helps to visualize ourselves at our ideal weight, and feel the sensation of being there whenever thoughts about the body cross the mind. This releases tension around the subject of weight and transforms our normally self limiting beliefs about losing or gaining weight to beliefs that promote healthy weight.

Regularly releasing tension is essential for achieving optimal weight because thoughts about struggle or sacrifice create mental tension which causes us to hold on to excess emotional and physical baggage.  Many times, that baggage is manifested as the body’s holding of excess body weight.

However, in the case of those who have difficulty gaining weight – their emotional/physical baggage is such that it prevents the nervous system from transmitting the signals necessary for digestion and utilization of nutrients.  Some peoples’ emotional states swing so drastically that they shift between being overweight and underweight many times throughout their lives.

Unless we regularly practice releasing tension, weight issues continue to accumulate as we accumulate tension in response to our life experience.  This is why weight issues tend to be exacerbated as we age.

Any diet that feels like struggle is bound to create more struggle around the issue of weight. Only from the feeling of physical well being do we become a vibratory match for the our ideal, healthy weight and overall vitality.

When we already feel like we are at our ideal weight, our eating and activity habits naturally move into alignment with that feeling.  There is no deprivation here.  We simply eat what we like and engage in the physical activities we enjoy. But without the added feelings of guilt, resentment, etc., we want what feels good on every level – body, mind and being.

Use your mental energy to align yourself with the beautiful and carefree physique that has always been yours, and heal your weight issues with the power of Self Love.
