			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Illuminated-Mind.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1568" title="Illuminated Mind" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Illuminated-Mind-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>The &#8220;others&#8221; in our experience are only a reflection of ourselves.   Divine energy comes from the core of our being, not from anything outside of ourselves.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Speaking of giving, many times we give to &#8220;others&#8221; because we believe that someone <span style="text-decoration: underline;">needs</span> 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8211; even if we bring about measurable improvement on the physical/material level.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Keep aligning your mental energy with your Divine Self, and be the gift that keeps on giving!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[When we perceive government as having overstepped its bounds, the "normal" response is to declare battle and fight against it.  However, only by embracing what we dislike can we effectuate meaningful change.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/We-the-People.gif"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1520" title="We the People" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/We-the-People-150x150.gif" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>I always appreciate hearing news about how our government is regulating this or that in order to impede our freedoms. It&#8217;s good to know when we have created something we do not want so that we may direct our thoughts into alignment with the solution.</p>
<p>Because we are rational and logical humans, our first reaction in response to what we perceive as governmental abuse is to project thoughts about &#8220;battle&#8221;. 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 &#8211; in this case the fear is that we cannot or may not be able to do the things we like.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;problem&#8221; to vibratory alignment with what we consider the &#8220;improvement.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Consolatio-Hug.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1507" title="Consolatio Hug" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Consolatio-Hug-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>You are not the cause of anyone&#8217;s suffering, but whenever you experience anyones suffering, it becomes your responsibility. Your friend is not the self image that you hold of them in your mind.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>When anyone feels sorry for another person, they join in the other person&#8217;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.<br />
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 &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>It takes courage to be compassionate. Gather your strength from within, and you will prevail.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Humans only use diets and nutrition regiments because we subscribe to the self-limiting belief that we must struggle or sacrifice in order to improve our physique.  The truth is that these methods only create more struggle around the issue of weight.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div id="_mcePaste">
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;"><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dreamstime_1292777-e1278105261855.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1445" title="Self Hug" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/dreamstime_1292777-e1278105391521-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>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.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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&#8217;s holding of excess body weight. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">However, in the case of those who have difficulty gaining weight &#8211; 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&#8217; emotional states swing so drastically that they shift between being overweight and underweight many times throughout their lives.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;">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.</p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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. </span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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 &#8211; body, mind and being.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 13.0px 0.0px; line-height: 19.0px; font: 13.0px Georgia;"><span style="letter-spacing: 0.0px;">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.</span></p>

		<description><![CDATA[In the material world, conscious energy expresses itself as thought, which is projected through the filter of mind and memory.  Our thought-based focus determines the rhythmic patterns we project through our material form, which in turn causes possibilities that harmonize with that rhythm to manifest.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/dance-with-the-wind.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1268" title="dance-with-the-wind" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/dance-with-the-wind-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>The Universe is constantly expanding, undulating and flowing to the harmony of the countless rhythmic patterns that resist and attract one another as necessary to maintain the delicate balance that makes anything and everything possible.  Even that which appears to be chaos is in perfect harmonic accord with the whole of existence.</p>
<p>Universal intelligence is limitless possibilities existing as rhythmic vibratory patterns with the potential to manifest everything seen and unseen, known and unknown.  Conscious energy is the impulse that creates every action, and every action attracts a reaction &#8211; all of which occur in perfect harmony with the Universal flow.</p>
<p>In the material world, conscious energy expresses itself as thought, which is projected through the filter of mind and memory.  Our thought-based focus determines the rhythmic patterns we project through our material form, which in turn causes possibilities that harmonize with that rhythm to manifest.</p>
<p>Inner rhythm is the subtle voice of spirit, constantly calling us to become more that what we already know. To the extent that our thought-based energy is in harmony with our inner rhythm, we experience peace of mind.</p>
<p>Conversely, when our thoughts are rhythmically dissonant to our inner rhythm, we feel like something is out of order or in need of &#8220;fixing&#8221;.  While nothing can ever remove us from being within the harmonic flow of Universal order, to the extent that we believe thoughts of limitation, we experience complete chaos.</p>
<p>But there are no missteps, and nothing is ever out of order. Anything that we humans label as unwanted, bad or wrong is only based on our mental perception of the reality that consciousness has created, and which it continues to create based upon our perception from moment to moment.</p>
<p>Our power of deliberate creation is in our ability to recognize our inner rhythm and to choose the thoughts that harmonize with it. For whatever we seek to change or improve in our experience, we have only to focus on our new perspective with the <span style="text-decoration: underline;">belief</span> that it is being created, and that belief attracts the possibilities that manifest accordingly.</p>
<p>Since having a life experience means we are constantly subject to sensory influences that cause the connection between the ego mind and our inner rhythm to become distorted or disconnected, it helps to employ a daily practice to develop and strengthen inner focus. Regular practice also creates a habit of mental discernment as to which thoughts support the direction of spirit as it expresses through inner rhythm.</p>
<p>Some effective tools for re-establishing and reinforcing mind/body connection and mental discernment are dance, art, music, martial arts, yoga (especially the practices Kundalini and Dahn), and meditation.</p>
<p>Clear your mind, find your rhythm and deliberately choose thoughts that resonate with possibilities that glorify yourself as an integral part of everything.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/See-Beauty.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1221" title="See Beauty" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/See-Beauty-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>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.</p>
<p>Although it&#8217;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&#8217;s always present &#8211; just waiting to be discovered.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>But in order to make our thoughts our own, we must be aware of the thoughts being offered by mind &#8211; 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Joy-Equals-Success.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1185" title="Joy Equals Success" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Joy-Equals-Success-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>In the illusion of separation we have developed the idea that we are in competition with each other, and that our success is measured by how well we achieve as compared with one another. In order to determine how we fit in with the world, we contrast things like our own wealth, level of education, status, rank, assets, age, beauty etc. against other people in our experience.</p>
<p>Following this mindset, we feel proud and happy when we perceive ourselves as winning or having gotten the upper hand against another person or group of people; while the perception that we have lost, are losing, or that we are &#8220;less than&#8221; anyone causes emotional discomfort and even pain. In business transactions, many of us feel gratified if we believe we have received the better end of a bargain &#8211; even if that means taking unfair advantage of another person.</p>
<p>Because we have lost sight of our true power, many of us seek to manipulate people or situations as necessary to avoid losing at all costs. But the more we strive to win, the more we create discord between our vibratory offering and the source of all blessings and abundance.</p>
<p>Specifically, while we may create the perception that we are winners because we have gained a material advantage, in this way we also deepen the mental conditioning that our value is dependent on our ability to be more, do more or get more than other people.  This validates our egocentric feeling of separation from everything else, which causes mental tension and fear around the possibility of losing.</p>
<p>Because we expend most of our mental energy on our endeavors to “get ahead”, our vibratory offering serves to disconnect us from the part of Self that is the source of total WellBeing. As we continue from the feeling of separation and fear, we tend to rely mostly upon our basic human will to compete as our life&#8217;s radar &#8211; which makes our sense of well being dependent on whether we win or lose.</p>
<p>When our feelings are dependent on how things turn out, we create conflict and dis-ease in our bodies and in the world.  The more we do to gain control over people and circumstances, the more illness we create for ourselves through our attachment to outcomes, and for the world by the way we project ourselves into it.</p>
<p>Even if we accumulate massive wealth or achieve the highest esteem amongst our colleagues, we cannot be fulfilled until we have attained Joy that is not dependent on circumstance or accomplishment.</p>
<p>As we seek the emotions of proud/happy/worthy through circumstance, we are only receptive to whatever keeps us alternating between these emotions and their opposites.  But when we seek the Self that is pure Joy, we begin to evolve to a level of awareness that allows our lives to flow more easily, peacefully and Joyfully.</p>
<p>Only our true Self knows what in the world will lead us to the peace of mind that comes from experiencing the Joy within ourselves. Everything we do with our bodies and minds is only for the material exercise through which we can find this treasure, and feeling attached to any of it can only detract from the Joyful experience we were born to create.</p>
<p>By shifting our focus from competition to compassion throughout our daily lives &#8211; even in business and interpersonal dealings, we gradually begin to open up to the possibilities that transcend the reasonable mind.  As we expand our receptivity, we can finally experience the Joy of Being &#8211; just as we are.</p>
<p>While our perception of peoples&#8217; behavior and circumstance may shake that Joy temporarily, every experience leads to a deeper understanding of Self and to an expanded awareness of the Joy that is our essence.</p>
<p>We are neither winners nor losers, but each of us is the pure energy that creates our experience in this time-space reality. To the extent that we create Joy, we are experiencing truth &#8211; and that equals success.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Not-by-Works.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1162" title="Not by Works" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Not-by-Works-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>Because the majority of humans identify with a false sense of self, most of us sacrifice Being in favor of doing.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;success&#8221; created by our perception of self through the eyes of other people.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;do-gooders&#8221;, giving money to charities that help the so-called less fortunate.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Be true to you and let the inspired actions that follow your creativity describe your purpose.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/New-Story.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1148" title="New Story" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/New-Story-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a>We are always becoming according to the story we are telling about ourselves. Every thought pattern and string of words in conversation is a prayer for the type of information that we are being created to receive.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 &#8220;how&#8221; is not our business.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our bodies and minds are only tools for the creativity of spirit, so submit yourself to your higher power and prevail!!</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of us believe that in order to effectuate positive change in the world, we must hate that which has already been created in order to motivate our will.]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Love-and-Hate.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1095" title="Love and Hate" src="http://www.thewaytotheway.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/Love-and-Hate-150x150.jpg" alt="" width="150" height="150" /></a></p>
<p>True Unconditional Love contains no opposite, and views everything as perfect given all thought that came before. Humans have been given a unique vantage point whereby we are commanding creation with the thought-based feelings we choose to follow.</p>
<p>Emotional love and hate are two opposites of the same energetic pattern. While both are emotional responses to life circumstances, one creates a happy feeling in the body and mind, while the other causes discomfort or pain in the body and mind.</p>
<p>These emotions attract one another along with their corresponding circumstances, and unless we find balance and Joy, our emotional extremes amplify as they continue to create more conflict for ourselves.</p>
<p>Mental and physical conflict is the cause of all dis-ease and deprivation because like attracts like and draws onto itself.  It is a fundamental law of the Universe.</p>
<p>Many of us believe that in order to effectuate positive change in the world, we must hate that which has already been created in order to motivate our will.</p>
<p>But our will only follows our energy, and hateful energy can never heal because it is not a vibratory match to healing energy. When we are in the emotion of hate without self-awareness, we labor in vain as we unconsciously create more of what we are hating.</p>
<p>Likewise, when in the emotion of love, we tend to attach ourselves to whatever we are loving, which creates resistance to its opposite.  That resistant energy is what keeps our emotions and life circumstances directed away from our true desires.</p>
<p>Notwithstanding the consequences, there is no benefit to condemning our own hateful or resistant feelings. Every feeling is instructional as to how resonant or dissonant our egocentric mind is in relation to our true essence. From there, we choose whether to continue with ill feelings (including self-judgment) and create more of the same, or return to Unconditional Love and knowledge that our deepest desires will be fulfilled.</p>
<p>When we perceive the world through Unconditional Love, we are creating our reality according to the part of Self that endures forever – and that benefits everything.</p>
<p>Emotions are our guide to creating through Love. When our ego self is unified with our enduring Self, we feel peace, unity, appreciation and Love for everything in creation.</p>
<p>In appreciation of all things that have already been created, our desires command the blessings that can transform our world.  Let your sword and shield be Unconditional Love and heal the world by your very presence in it.</p>
