This blog is dedicated to those on a journey of personal empowerment who are seeking to craft a life of happiness, peace, harmony, prosperity and vibrant health. Let us join together in partnership and collaboration on our journey using our insight to incite change that will lead to positive personal transformation!
In this world where rancor and egoistic actions often leave us with more frustration about where our world is headed; let me introduce you to a friend, Nick Mann, and his beautiful and harmonizing site:
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by
a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with
deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." ~ Albert Schweitzer
Nick is introducing the world's largest thank you card this coming Thanksgiving Day; November 25th.
Please visit The World's Largest Thank You Card, and celebrate by posting a Free thank you message to recognize and acknowledge someone who's made a difference in your life. It's all about Gratitude! ~♥♥♥
“Can you see the holiness in those things you take for granted–a paved road or a washing machine? If you concentrate on finding what is good in every situation, you will discover that your life will suddenly be filled with gratitude, a feeling that nurtures the soul.” — Rabbi Harold Kushner
Sharing your gratitude for kindness given you and for gifts you receive is the very best way to keep your flow of abundant prosperity moving your way.
“Whatever our individual troubles and challenges may be, it’s important to pause every now and then to appreciate all that we have, on every level. We need to literally “count our blessings,” give thanks for them, allow ourselves to enjoy them, and relish the experience of prosperity we already have.” — Shakti Gawain
Let's get our holiday gratitude flowing by supporting Nick's cause and acknowledging your thankfulness at the same time.
Nick, here's to you and all you do to make this world a better place for all!
“Feeling grateful or appreciative of someone or something in your life actually attracts more of the things that you appreciate and value into your life.” ~ Christiane Northrup
From each life experience insights are possible that fuel our enhanced tomorrows. ~Dave Kenyon
Imagine, for a minute, what your life would be like if you internalized and lived from the perspective of The Law of One?
"We advise you to love not only your fellow man, but also the conditions of your life. Bear no resentment. Nothing happens out of order or by chance, and the great Law brings those very conditions in your life which you need for growth. So accept with love all that happens. Look for the lesson that has to be learn t from the experience." ~Neale Donald Walsh
The Law of One embraces unconditional love and acceptance for each as well as all of us.
What value-added might you discover from living your life from a perspective of unconditional love? What value might your community enjoy?
"The beginning of love is to let those we love be perfectly themselves, and not to twist them to fit our own image. Otherwise we love only the reflection of ourselves we find in them." ~Thomas Merton
What insights, if any, did you gather from this video? How might these insights incite you to consider living your life from a oneness perspective?
What changes in your associated thoughts, feelings and actions might you need to make to begin living in the oneness perspective?
“… there are no random acts. That we are all connected. That you can no more separate one life from another than you can separate a breeze from the wind.” ~from Mitch Albom’s book, The Five People You Meet in Heaven.
"Look out! Because pollutants can change us. And not just chemical and biological ones, cultural ones as well." ~The Last Mimzy
Enhanced awareness may act as your sensor when scanning the energies you are being exposed to; in terms of thoughts, emotions and attitudinal -biased pronouncements through news, government, political, religious and entertainment. We are consistently being bombarded by these manipulative messages designed to leverage control over and compliance by the general population.
"...So long as the people do not care to exercise their freedom, those who wish to tyrannize will do so; for tyrants are active and ardent, and will devote themselves in the name of any number of gods, religious and otherwise, to put shackles upon sleeping men." ~Voltaire
We are moving, as a planet, away from this "learned-helplessness" model to that of an empowerment model. We individually and collectively are now coming into alignment with the empowering and emerging new paradigm of light; shining focused awareness of consciousness raising leading to greater planetary enlightenment.
"Somewhere along the journey of remembering who we really are, we may find ourselves in a very uncomfortable space, a void in which we realize that we haven't totally let go of our old beliefs, and on the other hand we have yet to fully plug into the new truths we have discovered. This awkward "place of mind" can bring on an internal crisis of uncertainty, instability, confusion, frustration, and a most unspeakable despair as the "dark night" sets in and makes its presence felt."
~Nicholas Schmidt
Now perhaps it's time for another segment of potential insights with your viewing of this next video; The Law of One.
Insights into improving your life experience most often do lead to incites of proactive thoughts, emotions and actions. Discover yours, lovingly.
Here's to your personal enlightenment and happiness.
Meaning: “I bow to the divine in you.” Namaste is a traditional Indian greeting of respect and thank you, with spiritual and symbol meaning. This is done with your palms pressed together in the middle of your forehead (third eye) or at your heart, and lightly bow your head and shoulders. www.bonzaiyoga.com/YogaGlossary.html
My blog is about respect for one another and for insightful process. Merriam-Websterdefines insight as,
"the act or result of apprehending the inner nature of things or of seeing intuitively."
Respect for and gaining understanding of the nature of things is at the core of this endeavor to enlighten each of us through sharing of points-of-view and collaborative dialog.
Discovering your truth within our current world paradigm is quite a daunting task with so many politically and economically motivated groups seeking to dominate the communication landscape.
These agenda-based groups are constantly bombarding each of us with powerful; mostly fear-based messages designed to manipulate our thoughts, feelings and behaviors to comport with their particular agenda.
If we are motivated by fear we are much more easily manipulated and used to further these agenda's that are not respectful of individual needs and desires.
If fear-based beliefs form the cornerstone of our individual mental models then we are often imprisoned by and held captive by beliefs that dis-empower us; beliefs that tend to hide the true nature of things from a perspective that is light or truth enabled.
"Fear always springs from ignorance." ~ Emerson
What is the way out of the clutches of fear-based belief? How may I move beyond the almost addiction to the control that fear-based beliefs hold in my life?
"The wise man in the storm prays God, not for safety from danger, but for deliverance from fear."
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
Light is an illumination that shows us the way to truth. When we are focused upon fear that blocks our perception of the 'light of truth' from making us aware that right action is the way out.
Whenwe are focused upon fear; we hold on tight to what that fear represents and either misread or lack awareness of our options for being released from the ugly grip of fear.
Releasing or letting go is the true way to grow beyond the grip of fear. When we let go we let in the light of truth to counsel us regarding the best way to act; in any given situation.
Please relax and take a few minutes to savor the video below; let it engage your thoughts and emotions concerning the release of crippling fear-based belief.
What insights did you become aware of and what actions, if any, will you now be incited to take when faced with fear? Letting go keeps you in the flow of source energy!
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us "Universe," a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest - a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty. Nobody is able to achieve this completely, but the striving for such achievement is in itself a part of the liberation and a foundation for inner security." ~ Albert Einstein
What is this collective consciousness; you may wonder?
"Jung coined the term 'collective unconscious' to refer to that part of a person's unconscious which is common to all human beings, as opposed to personal unconscious, which is unique to each individual. According to Jung the collective unconscious contains archetypes, which are forms or symbols that are manifested by all people in all cultures.
The concept of collective unconscious relates to the Spiritual model of living beings consisting of individuated parts of Spirit encased in physical form. Like island in the sea we appear as distinct individuals, but beneath the surface we are all connected." ~excerpt from Wikipedia articles on Psychiatrist Carl Jung
Working with this model, let us examine just what might be in it for you and me. When we are working with a dualistic model we tend to see ourselves as disconnected for all others and from any sense of a conscious community with whom we may collaborate for our mutual-benefit.
Nothing could be further from the universal truth; the truth that our "collective consciousness" provides each of us with the connectivity to the whole which is necessary for you and me to to expand our awareness and gain valuable insight into the nature of how things do work in the oneness model; the one model that actually is the core of how things do work in our universe.
We,in fact, are all interrelated and our connection point field is the collective consciousness.It's the field of energy harmonic that contains our planets collective wisdom that each of us can learn to tap into and collaborate with.
Einstein proposed that "The intellect has little to do on the road to discovery. There comes a leap in consciousness, call it intuition or what you will, the solution comes to you and you don’t know how or why."
This connection and ensuing give and take with the collective conscious field forms an unbroken link between the unfolding new galactic paradigm and the personal growth necessary for each of us to align successfully with it's unfolding.
Yes this link is always available to each of us; but only when we open our awareness to its continual accessibility and align our vibrational frequency to match this field. Alignment with your highest good is a very worthy goal and one that will pave your way to alignment with the emerging paradigm.
“Every time you want something and achieve vibrational harmony with it and allow it to come to you, you not only gain the satisfaction of having accomplished your desire, you also gain a whole new perspective from which to desire.” ~Nithin Mohan T K
Please take a few minutes to explore the video below on collective consciousness; be mindful of any insight you gain and just how that may incite you to change your consciousness.
"Life is not discovery of fate; it is continuous creation of future, through choices of thoughts, feelings and actions in the present." ~Sanjay Sahay
Yes, as Dr. Sanjay Sahay states above; the direction of your life and mine are determined by the minute-by-minute choices of your thoughts, feelings and actions.
As you consider this insight; askyourself this question, Is my life a reflection of thoughts, feelings and actions that support and nurture my most cherished dreams?
If your answer is anything but a resounding yessssssssssss; then consider the following formula that when practiced daily will provide the valuable fuel that your dreams require for them to materialize in your life.
R=T + E + A x FOT
Your results are determined by the combination of your thoughts, feelings and actions multiplied by your willingness to focus upon these magnetic properties over time.
Let's look at these components of our formula; one at a time.
"Cause and effect is as absolute and undeviating in the hidden realm of thought as in the world of visible and material things. Mind is the master weaver, both of the interior garment of character and the outer garment of circumstance." ~James Allen
When your thoughts reflect the ingredients: of being in the present tense; being reflective of you deserving the outcome you seek; and are focused upon the brilliant details of your most cherished desire as they would be witnessed through your eyes, you are on the right track.
"Feeling and longing are the motive forces behind all human endeavor and human creations."
~ Albert Einstein
Our feelings are the glue that binds with our thoughts to create our actions. Unfortunately, not all of our thoughts and feelings bind in a way that allows for mutuality of direction.
We are also not aware of all of our thoughts; many are in areas of our mind that we have either limited or no conscious access to.
Also, many of our thoughts have become imprinted with emotions that are fear-based and thus move us in an opposing direction of our dreams or away from our worthiness to receive same.
As thoughts and feelings are tools that we use to design and build the structures of our dreams they must align with our good and choose wisely which ones to surf.
"We are all here for some special reason. Stop being a prisoner of your past. Become the architect of your future." ~Robin S. Sharma
As the architect of your future; what design for your life will best fit the natural you?
What are your core values and how would they look expressed as your life? What makes you truly happy? Which types of activities are you passionate about?
When you are the most frustrated; what are you engaged in? Who are the people you feel the most alive when you are in their company and what are their characteristics?
Where have you been when your feelings are joy-filled? The answers to these type of introspective clarifying questions will assist you with uncovering where your thoughts and feelings are out of alignment and with those types of people and experiences that typically bring you together with happiness emotions.
"By banishing doubt and trusting your intuitive feelings, you clear a space for the power of intention to flow through." ~Wayne Dyer
My hope is that you will use the insights gained from today's post to help you realign proactive feelings with the vision of where you want your life to go; to create the life you will love!
Today's highlighted insights are found within the context of our emotions. When we consider our basic model which is that our results are determined by the degree to which you and I are able to focus upon our goals through the lenses of positive thoughts and emotions; it becomes vital for each of us to learn to master our emotions.
Merriam-Webster defines emotion as "a conscious mental reaction (as anger or fear) subjectively experienced as strong feeling usually directed toward a specific object and typically accompanied by physiological and behavioral changes in the body."
"All the knowledge I possess everyone else can acquire, but my heart is all my own." Goethe understood that we have say in our emotional makeup and that that makeup is uniquely ours.
Some of our emotions reflect an alignment with our positive intentions and some do not. When our emotions and our thoughts are not in alignment this impedes our ability to make manifest our dreams, goals and aspirations. According to eminent Swiss Psychiatrist, Carl Jung,"There can be no transforming of darkness into light and of apathy into movement without emotion."
Thus emotions are necessary for any personal transformation and those with a negative context also act as blocking mechanisms for change.
According to the Dalai Lama, "...all our suffering comes about as a result of an undisciplined mind, and this untamed mind itself comes about because of ignorance and negative emotions."
To broaden this discussion, the video below explores emotions please take a few minutes to watch and attend to the message the video imparts.
One of the questions this video poses is, are you able to live in a world with drama and chaos? This question, answered with self-honesty, will help you to realize more of the totality of what is holding back your growth toward the personal transformation that would lead you to alignment with the emerging paradigm.
The second video in this series by Free Your Mind forever's channel at youtube.com opens to greater depth into emotions and how they may work for your benefit as you move along your spiritual growth path.
"In the last decade or so, science has discovered a tremendous amount about the role emotions play in our lives. Researchers have found that even more than IQ, your emotional awareness and abilities to handle feelings will determine your success and happiness in all walks of life, including family relationships." - John Gottman, Ph.D.
Personal transformation does begin within and when our thoughts and emotions are aligned what we seek is seeking us. When they are on conflict they push against one another like two north poles of a magnet would. Success in goal and dream attainment is boosted when we are able to substitute misaligned thoughts and emotions with those that that harmonize.
So what insights have you experienced as a result of this post and the two videos you viewed, if any?
In what ways have your emotions blocked your intentions, if any? What negative emotions do you struggle with?
When you think about something you wish to manifest does the emotional linkage offer harmonious or painful emotions?
As you consider where you are in creating emotional and thought harmony know that wherever you are in that continuum you are able to move into a place of greater harmony.
I will open future discussions on this blog that will elaborate on just how to use the substitution process of creating emotional and thought harmony.
Until then, savor the insights you've gained through this post and seek opportunities to incite positive action in the direction off your dreams and goals.
When we embrace the mystery of life and open to each new insight life affords us, feedback from our multidimensional-selves enables our consciousness expansion and adds new and vibrant meaning to life.
"Abandon the urge to simplify everything, to look for formulas and easy answers, and to begin to think multidimensionally, to glory in the mystery and paradoxes of life, not to be dismayed by the multitude of causes and consequences that are inherent in each experience -- to appreciate the fact that life is complex."
~M. Scott Peck
"Science can point out dangers, but science cannot turn the direction of minds and hearts. That is the province of spiritual powers within and without our very beginnings-powers that are the mysteries of life itself."
~Oren Lyons,Haudenosaunee Faith-keeper
What is the value of multidimensional thinking; you might ask? Why are we being called upon, at this time, to think multidimensionally?
"We are being called to radically shift our awareness into a whole new paradigm of understanding. The shift is from third dimensional thinking; time, space, matter, to multi-dimensional thinking. It is time now to let go of our resistance and open to new ways of perceiving reality. Many of the radical earth changes that we are seeing are mirroring to us the need to shift our perception. As we change and begin to shift, the planet itself will no longer have to take on the role of the catalyst for our growth and we will see a restoration of balance and harmony on our planet.
What can we do to shift our perception....? We can begin by taking our place as planetary healers by stepping fully into our unique gifts and forms of service. We can begin by surrendering to the flow of universal energies that are always available to support us in developing our highest potential or power. And we can let go of the illusion that we as individuals don’t make a difference.
We each have a calling or spiritual destiny that is essential to the whole; to the healing of the planet. As we step into full awareness of this truth we receive increasing guidance from the divine souls that have come before us. The only thing that prevents this guidance from happening is our illusion of separation; the belief in the limitation of third dimension reality."
~James Jarvis
If Mr. Jarvis is correct we have a true responsibility to engage in multidimensional thought and reflection. From this thought platform we open ourselves to awareness of life that is certainly not traditional in the Western view of the world; though it is reflective of indigenous peoples and Eastern thought models.
To best illustrate one possible benefit to opening up our thinking; let me offer you the following video. While engaging with the video, open yourself to new possibilities or both thought and action.
What did you discover? How might your thinking change as a result of this experience? What new thought pathways might you now consider exploring?
"If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." ~Wayne Dyer
As always I hope you gained valuable insights, here, that will incite you to proactively engage change in ways that add to your enlightenment.
