Nice problem consideration

Photo: PSLB

A reoccurring egotistic theme crops up in society causing us problems:

The ego, likes to be ‘nice!

But being ‘nice’ can mean being overly nice or fastidious, even going to the point of being unlawful. Unlawful by not being in harmony with Universal Laws or by not being in the standard of human laws. We may lie to be nice or encourage others to break laws and support criminals causing pain and suffering.

My spiritual teacher always encouraged us to be True and FourSquare with enthusiasm, wisdom, integrity, and Love as the key elements in any decision.

An egotistical driven nice person will lie or support criminal activities just to appear pleasing, while inside they are hating. A pleasant person is genuinely joyful without harsh judgment and compassionate.

We have a choice to fight for Truth or fight against unjust laws.

Why not fight for Truth and Justice, fight with Love, rather than fight against with hate?

Hate doesn’t solve anything, rather it supports more negativity and finds more reasons to complain, protest and aggravate. The ego is attracted to death, even while appearing soooo nice!

The soul knows Life! Is Wise, Truthful and Loving and will fight for and with those qualities.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

The sense of it

New Zealand PSLB

While floating on the surface of this instance, a soft breeze of joy and happiness caress my face with hope of inner peace.

But the sense of human existence and mournful sounds of painful memories cause me to sink with heavy chains of guilt.

Guilt pulls me further under, and I descend into darkness.

I struggle to survive and to rise to the surface of Light.

I’m wild with fear of death and full of doubt that the soft breeze continues even now without me.

Finally surrender becomes a conscious  inevitability. . . And dumping more illusionary trash in the darkness is halted.

With quiet alertness in the instance, a path to joy and softness of inner peace becomes apparent.

And I need only choose it.

Illusions of self vengeance are gone. And only Truth of Now is evident.

“Seems so” consideration

Photo PSLB

As we consciously travel our spiritual journey we seem to be presented with many dualities or obstacles that challenge our progress.These choices or obstacles appear conflicted between good and bad or helpful and not helpful causing stagnation/decline.

And I’ve found that the one that raises red flags of caution is when I’m feeling I ‘should‘ choose one pole over another!

I’ll ask myself why am I feeling anxious. Is it because subtle guilt is attached to mortal programming or is it fear? There’s a payoff of pleasure for a particular choice or fear of the alternative. It’s a want or not want thing.

Yet let us remember that our spiritual journey is all about Freedom, primarily freedom from the subconscious ego and its traits, programming and obligations. We can always suspend any choice until another opportunity presents itself with greater options.

Yet any choices that appear in duality can be resolved with a deep spiritual intent to use the FourSquare as guidance, using All Energy, Intelligence, Law and Love balanced in your choice. Then surrendering it to the Great Principle, knowing that things will workout according to the Great Law.

Every decision consideration

Every decision you make is a reflection of what you think about yourself.

And it comes to “Know thyself” doesn’t it?

Is it a decision to benefit the ego or soul?

Is it a sin to make a mistake?

Alaska PSLB

I’m so happy to share a question in the spirit of healing for us. So consider this:

Can we see that a mistake is a call for love?

Even a simple mistake like stubbing our toe … is it a call for love ?

The ego can be very careless and can walk along with little alertness or care. But when we are in the moment and conscious, we are alert and care about the way we walk and our surroundings. We love.

Yes we do make mistakes like stubbing our toe and it hurts. My spiritual teacher always said that pain teaches us. It certainly does get our attention and then we have a choice to care enough to learn from it.

To recognize this is very helpful to our healing process. Love lies beyond any illusion of sin. And we can correct most mistakes. Even so-called major mistakes can eventually be harmonized with commitment to spiritual intent not to do that again. And with commitment to union with Spirit and Harmony for all humanity.

Mistakes help us learn and acquire knowledge. Knowledge made of truth and love becomes wisdom and helps us continue to grow and expand spiritually. Why? Because Truth and Love are healing to the human mind.

But illusions of sin will hold us in a prison of blind belief and misery. And can eventually destroy our bodies.

When we make a mistake we can get hurt, but when we are conscious about making a mistake without condemnation or guilt we can get up and continue to live, prosper and grow in happiness with a positive, grateful attitude. We can recognize it was something to learn. Mind was not conscious and balanced with a positive attitude, intelligence, truth, and love. Not balanced in the FourSquare.

Love heals us. Let us give each other and ourselves the gift of release from the past and guilt for we are brothers and sisters of Spirit.

Everything is connected in one as Spirit which we are…. Spiritual Life, Spiritual Mind, Spiritual Truth and Spiritual Love.

It hurts so good! 

PSLB

It’s all happiness to know that anything that was horrific in the past is gone. It’s logical. Yeah, we tend to cling to evil in memories and perceived injustices that others must pay for.

It’s the ego that clings to the illusion that the past is still now because it serves a purpose. The past is a place to lay blame for our pain and disappointments. For our wounded self-esteem.

The ego seeks retribution for offenses. Seeks vengeance. And even though we want to place blame on someone else, it returns to us as guilt. And because of guilt, inner condemnation, the ego demands vengeance on ourselves!

Yet how could we experience guilt without our own alliance with the past and with the ego?

How do we escape this vicious cycle?

These are questions we can ask ourselves to begin to be conscious and sane, instead of circling in the past, bringing it to the present with guilt and repeated thought patterns. 

In the present moment, in the Silence, we can recognize our freedom and Inner beauty. We need only make a small effort, spiritual intent to pause, take a deep breath, come to the moment mentally and be silent.

And a wave of gratitude can lift us into a higher level of consciousness and energies that brings us more freedom from the illusions of the ego. And we are happier.

This tiny step in our attitude and mental intent for Silence in the moment offers freedom. And the Great Law helps us expand and you can actually feel Universal Life Energy physically and/or mentally. You are communicating with The Universe!

In that instance is peace and love. The Truth is constantly now.

In the hope that you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Your potentials for 2026

Hoping for You and your Loved Ones

and All Humanity

a

Healthy, Enlightening and Successful Year and Always

Photo by rizknas on Pexels.com

If you are looking for a fresh start in your life, this #1 year, 2026, has the energies to boost your courage to start anew!

2026 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 6 = 10/1

In sacred numerology #1 represents Source and the Universal Great All, of which we are part. And communication is emphasized to facilitate unity ….. communication with Source, our Higher Self and with each other.

There may be renewed emphasis on taking action for the greater good of humanity due in part to the increased energy boosting communication on deeper and more comprehensive levels.

Individually this year will help us refresh and update our communication skills, remembering optimism is key for inspiring ourselves and others. We have the opportunity to communicate not only with our Higher Self through intuition, but also with Source Itself in meditation and conscious awareness in the present moment. Some simple practices are shared below.

Number 1 boosts energies for developing our sense of Inner Peace and purpose ….. to develop self-reliance and discipline. No more clicking into pop-culture opinion sites, rather it’s time to recenter within to our Inner Love and respect for ourselves and others.

When we respect and recognize the beauty and Love within others that love and respect is reflected back to us even when others are not conscious of it. This encourages others to do the same and develops our communication skills.

Number 1 is a masculine, Yang, energy that will be felt by everyone. And since it is the start of a new 9 year cycle it’s an opportunity to bravely step into infinite potential!

I am so happy to share some practices for You to get your optimistic juices flowing, while keeping you calm and centered even when things get loud and hectic.

🌞 A morning practice to help you get ready for the day: The Star Exercise. Simply stand with arms and legs stretched out into a star position with hands cupped up to receive Universal Life Energy, breathing deeply. This simple exercise is physical communication with Source. You can feel the Energy and be inspired! I do this exercise after I awaken in the mornings and as I fall asleep in bed.

🌙 An evening, soothing practice to wind-down to help you release any challenges you may have faced and reestablish inner peace: Relaxation and Silence. Pause. Take some deep, slow breathes and relax physically. Relax your thinking and let thoughts go and pass, until silent.

The uniting energies of #1 helps us become more aware of Self and I am, a divine expression of our unity with Our Father.

This I am practice is a verbal Self-consciousness communication with our Higher Self and connection to Our Father. It’s a Declaration of Truth that sinks into our subconscious and returns to consciousness to restore you for new beginnings:

🌞🌙I am indissolubility connected to the Eternal and I am an Individualized Ray manifesting all the same qualities of Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love. I am Spirit manifest.”

Remember to be patient with yourself this year, knowing that within you is Divine Love. And share that Love with everyone you meet.

You can see a spark of Light in the eyes of someone when you approach them with gratitude and ask questions like: What’s been the best part of your day? What is your most inspiring interest? Or gives you the most joy? What are you most grateful for, if you are willing to share? What is your greatest creation? And why? ….. Ask why for expanded connection, communication and insight.

The illusion of Love is easily spotted and derails Truth in communication and circles to guilt, so contact your Inner Love and Truth before you intent to communicate and inspire both another and yourself!

And most of all, I hope for You and All of Us this year that we seek, find and remove barriers within ourselves that we have built against Truly communicating with Our Father, our Higher Self and with each other. And the means to do so has always been within Yourself!

May You experience Peace Always, PortiaSLB

A State of Mind, Part 1

A State of Mind

“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the foundation of our being.”  Eugene Fersen

Even a novice photographer can capture the scenic beauty and power of Alaska on an iPad. And, there is more to it than meets the eye!

Alaska Reflection

Summer doesn’t last long in Alaska, but it is beautiful, green with mild weather and swollen rivers and lakes from melting snow.

The states of water can be used to symbolize the states of mind.

Clear liquid water is in a state of fluidity and active movement, representing consciousness aware in the present moment.

Mind in the present moment is clear, calm and receptive. It better reflects our True, beautiful individual character and its unlimited quality, like the open sky.

However, if our mind is muddied and rippled by negative attitudes or harmful desires it symbolizes a troubled personality and life.

If mind is fixed, stubborn, opinionated without hope of change it is like ice, frozen like hell.

Water in a gaseous state represents the Higher, True Self. Pure Mind, a perfect complement to Divine Love. Our natural state. Beautiful.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

AWAKENING – A Dream

A Dream

 A Dream

Stone on my heart, heavy

with black underneath

No notice of twilight, deep

Cold and deserved frozen complete

 

Hands of time, still

with experience incomplete

Sweetness unravel memories, tear

  Ice and immure darkness begin to retreat

 

Question forms on my lips, why 

within light still burns
Smell a whisper of roses, sweet
Faint movement and beat

 

Do I dream, now?

Do I begin to feel?

Am I awakening? Hope.

 Is that gentle love that I feel?

 

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

 

Witness the End of guilt

photo PSLB

We sometimes feel very guilty and it hurts our heart! No matter how hard we try it’s usually difficult to forget about because it circles and returns.

But we can witness the end of guilt within us.

The Truth of It

The egotistic, human mind is attracted to guilt! Many of us believe we should feel guilty because we blame our self. But guilt, blame, shame are conditioned expectations programmed in the subconscious by long standing beliefs.

We are programmed to expect guilt and choose guilt over forgiveness and release. Even when we blame someone else, it returns to us like a boomerang and it attracts more blame and feelings of guilt.

The ego thrives on guilt, using guilty thoughts and emotions to ensure its survival. Survival at all costs, even at the cost of our happiness, health and life.

However, guilt is a belief of the ego and just by taking a step towards truth, acknowledging that guilt is a belief, it begins to leave us.

Guilt is not Truth or else it would be never ending and there would be no happiness. Truth begins to free us of the burden of guilt.

Truth is eternal. The Truth is we are made of Love…It holds us together, our cells, mind and emotions. Love within us is in a state of harmony and doesn’t even see guilt because it is not a loving quality. Guilt is an illusion and doesn’t exist in Love.

Love does see Truth and attracted to Truth, but not guilt. Love has no guilt in it, but fear does. And fear is attracted to guilt, but not Truth. Fear has no love in it.

The ego is attracted to guilt. It urges us, demands us, expects us to choose guilt because of belief in it, blame and fear.

You can choose to release any temptation of guilt, by seeing the truth of what guilt is, by letting it go, releasing it to the Light of Truth and Love. Guilt is of the past. The past is gone, now is all there is.

But if you do ever feel guilt rise up into your consciousness

Feel the sensations of guilt in the body, usually as twisting in the stomach area. Just feel without judgmental analysis. Those sensations of guilt will eventually run out of your body. The feeling served a purpose in helping you become conscious of something to release for your own benefit and the betterment of all. Thus you can release guilt and blame and focus instead on gratitude, Inner strength, intelligence, spiritual integrity and love.

Love Truth and you Love yourself, for You are the Lightbearer of Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love. And you are free and wise to choose Peace and happiness rather than deserving of guilt.

You can witness the end of guilt. And be the witness of the Power and Love that You are.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“Our conscious self must learn the lessons of Love. Our Higher Self does not need to learn it. Our subconsciousness all the time emanates hatred into our consciousness. It has no Love in it.”
