Each of us is a participant in a “Free-Will Universe,” doing the best that we can, trying to find our place in it. Its’ challenging but we had the confidence in our abilities before we ever came in to experience the consequences of our actions. But stripped of all past learning, it’s not as easy as we thought. To experience free-will is to experience unconditional love! Unconditional love means that there is both light and dark and each of us makes the choice as to what it is we move toward. They are not opposites. Both are part of the “One Substance.” One can not be recognized without the other. Both are light, of which there are many gradations that move from abundance to absence of light. At no point is there lack. Lack is simply a belief in something false that originates in fear. Its like going down a set of stairs but a shadow falls across your path of vision and you can’t determine by sight, where the next step is. There is hesitancy and it requires faith and trust to extend your leg just as you did before to find yourself supported, just as before, and your journey continues. Once confronted fear is simply shadows to be laughed at.
All consciousness and its expansion is simply a recognition of something that was always there but never seen. This is why you can’t change what you don’t recognize. Or to paraphrase Albert Einstein;” You can’t solve a problem with the consciousness that created it.” He also pointed out that when you are digging a hole for yourself, you have to know when to stop. Progress is simply a change of mind arising from recognition. So how do you resolve any perceived problem or challenge? Or how do you move from what you don’t want to what you do want?
Begin by expressing gratitude for what you currently have. This places you in the now moment and sends a message of thanks for life itself. Gratitude is not expressed once happiness or a desired outcome is achieved. Expressing gratitude is a pre-requisite to recognizing happiness or manifesting a desired outcome. As in many things we have the accent on the wrong syl-lable. In this free-will universe, like recognizes like. It’s what I refer to as a homeopathic, reciprocal relationship with Creation. We have the ability to choose what it is we identify with. Spirit only identifies itself with those who recognize their identity with it! If you think about it, this is exactly how you operate. Hesitancy is a reflection of self-doubt (fear of shadows). Willingness is required to commune with Spirit in the present moment with genuine feeling. It also requires stating why you are grateful. To be grateful is to be blessed. It is a recognition of your completeness, your “wholeness” or “holiness.” Without this recognition we remain stuck. If you can not recognize your own “Divinity,” (holiness) how can you create more of the same? Like only creates like. It’s an individual choice and an individual experience. It can bring us to joy or it can strip us of what we consider valuable and bring us to our knees. This is how our attention is captured and a recognition of something Greater substituted.
According to the Institute for Heart Math 96.6% of all of our thoughts are negative (fearful). It is the 3% that requires expansion! When we are in a state of fear (self-doubt, unworthiness etc.), we are in a delusional state. Delusion is a self concept (consciousness) of being anything less than perfect. We seldom recognize our perfection because we have bought into appearance, the limitations of the body and the trappings of duality. But the senses that go beyond the body can provide a recognition of a true essence (an I am Presence). Without the body there would be no recognition of a Greater Essence. The body is the vehicle of self-discovery. When you say, “I am,” or “I am Blessed,” it is a recognition or realization of something that was not known before. It is an act of “Sovereignty,” that removes the shackles of limited thinking and propels you to Unlimited Possibility!
You are not your “negative” thoughts or feelings. They are only momentary lapses of a lower self that has a role to play. Simply acknowledge it, thank it and choose a better outcome. In other words, “Grace it,” and get on with being more of what you truly are. What you truly are is, “Loved, Loving and Loveable.” There is no need for struggle or upset ever. This can be challenging to re-member in that moment when you are triggered. Just become more aware of any reaction that isn’t loving. Developing this awareness creates “Spiritual Muscle. I advise myself and others to develop a trigger statement such as saying; “I Choose Love,” three times. It helps to bring you back to where you prefer to be. You can also call upon “Grace Elohim,” for support. (Do an internet search and see what comes up.) It’s her function to relieve you of all past guilt, suffering and delusional thoughts. Try it. You might just be amazed at what happens.
You are a very, very powerful being. You’ve just bought into and identified with a delusional idea and made it a belief. A belief is really nothing more than an opinion. It is a prejudice based in delusion and fear with no supporting evidence. So, don’t believe, choose to have experience, only the best experience. Wisdom and Mastery come from experience. Choose to identify with loving experience because Spirit will identify with those who identify with it. If you want a better life experience for yourself, express gratitude for what you have. Here is a format that you can use. “I am so blessed that _______________ because _______________. Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!
Here is the interesting thing. We believe (opinion) that time is linear but it isn’t. Time is simply a coping mechanism that we created. Do you suppose there is time in eternity? Every experience we could possibly ever imagine, is simply waiting for us to call it to us. Creation is infinitely patient. Now, notice that I didn’t say, “Everything” is waiting for us. We are here to have experience. Anything material is simply an instrument without meaning. We give everything meaning and in doing so, we provide an experience to our self. The recognition of what flows from this is a step toward mastery. But we have allowed our self to be conditioned to believe (have a false opinion) in the value of material things. In this case, the desire for “things” masters the individual. Once again, we may have the accent on the wrong syl-able.
Learn to speak to the Subconscious Mind, in the present tense of being so Blessed to have already received the outcome you desire. Imagine it and state the reasons why you are Blessed and see what happens. The Subconscious Mind simply accepts what the Conscious Mind impresses upon it. Do this regularly and Spiritual Muscle develops. Start a “Gratitude Book” and each day write down 10 experiences that Bless you. It requires “Willingness.” Without “Willingness,” the process of self-discovery is ignored, in which case Spirit is ignored. All processes begin with an invitation to invite a recognition of awareness. Think about it. You don’t make a practice of going where you aren’t welcomed why should an awareness of Something Grander come to you, if it is not welcomed and invited!
Do not make the mistake of imagining how outcomes will come about. This is none of your business. When you do, you are now interfering with natural processes and blocking the manifesting of the experience that is desired. Simply collapse time down to the ultimate outcome and allow Creation to create. Just have the Faith and Trust that, “It is so,” and let it go. If there is any doubt at all in the process, you are once again interfering with the process by inserting delusional thoughts that are not in alignment with the Creative process. As a species, we must learn to undo what it is that we don’t want and focus in a relaxed way (contention) on what it is that we do want. Just keep writing and visualizing (using your inner eyes) your desired outcome only, and stating new and different reasons why and how the outcome Blesses you.
One more point, what you ask for yourself must be asked for all mankind! Otherwise you are attempting to usurp “Oneness,” and create a “Special,” circumstance for yourself to the exclusion of all other forms of “Individuated Spirit.” There is no such thing as “Specialness or Privilege.” To have, just be Blessed. In the recognition of being Blessed, the Blessing will manifest, if you are paying attention. Those who appear to have more than you are simply a reflection of your own delusional thinking. Forgive yourself, Grace yourself, Bless yourself, expand your 3% state and your dreams will come.
Namaste
