Consider Your Real Value

Every decision you make is a reflection of what you think about yourself; your self perception and value.

We are eternal, powerhouses of harmonious Spirit. And the greatest happiness is ours, but we have repeatedly belittled ourselves and believe it in this earthly reality.

Thus when faced with a decision, it is an opportunity to ask ourselves in a moment of silence: ‘Is this choice serving the limits of the ego or magnitude of Spirit?’

Does it feel contracting and binding or expanding and freeing?

This practice helps us realize we will not be content with anything that belittles us! And that we are Eternal power houses of joy and happiness.

Kindly see the Beauty and Love of Spirit in everyone else too, for they are a reflection of ourselves. Remember if we belittle them we belittle ourselves which we will not be content with.

Overwhelming secret

We keep secrets, but we should not be satisfied with keeping secrets because they can hurt us. And they’re violations of Truth; destructive to our life and everyone else’s. Yet, we can build to our freedom, rising above them and walk the path of Spiritual unfoldment living a happy, earthly life now.

Let me share my experience to make it clearer.

As a child I was separated from my loving mother for some time due to divorce. During our separation I was neglected by caretakers, which I buried emotionally and keep secret. Eventually my mother and I were happily reunited. But I experienced high anxiety most of the time and would sleepwalk, crying in my bedroom doorway most nights, though I didn’t remember it in the mornings. My mother tried to solve the mystery but to no avail, because I still kept secrets of neglect and abuse.

It wasn’t until adulthood that I made a commitment to spiritual development and shared my childhood experiences with my mother. And to find out, she also had overwhelming emotional experiences during those times, and as a child had traumatic, abusive experiences herself. But as we opened to spiritual practice in Science of Being, we began releasing the trauma and began healing.

We both have had much success and happiness in our life since we began practicing the principles of Science of Being. I’ve been a practitioner for almost 50 years and I am so grateful for the Loving Wisdom and opportunities in life.

There are no secrets, the truth manifests

The cornerstone of Science of Being is Truth aflame with Love. It is part of the FourSquare qualities of our Real Spiritual Self: Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love. The principle is to develop all these qualities equally, yet Truth ….. knowing what we really are, the qualities of the Eternal made manifest in our life build us automatically to Spirit. It’s like the ancient wisdom of, “Know thyself and thy will know All.”

And knowing ourselves includes the very human traumas and egotistic traits in order to release them and rise above them into our natural condition of Freedom, Peace and Harmony.

Manifesting those natural qualities of Optimism, Intelligence, Accuracy, and Love in a balanced manner may take conscious effort to begin with, but as we commit to Truth, release the past, and continue to consciously and purposefully manifest the FourSquare in the present moment it gets easier. We automatically manifest what we already are!

Overcoming and aligning with truth

The human mind is naive, and children are especially naive, becoming programmed to behave according to what is expected. And as we grow up we can identify with negative traits like not being good enough, worthless, being a burden, being damaged goods. We may experience overwhelms with nightmares, anxieties, and emotional meltdowns. The effects of traumas are manifested physically.

The good news is that these are attention getters and point to what needs healing. When we open and enter the door of Truth we empower ourselves with All Truth, Power, Wisdom and Love.

It’s no secret. It’s Truth – know your own energy, wisdom, truth and love and communicate it. You are manifesting the FourSquare, which empowers you to rise into higher levels of illumination and consciousness.

“We have Five Gates or Senses to penetrate into the Unknown. Inside of us, we correlate the outside impressions. Truth is both outside and inside. Truth demands completeness. Half a truth is a lie. Truth cannot be cut in half. It ether is or is not.”

Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Teachings by Eugene Fersen, Volume 1, page 243.

This and all entries are for inspiration and encouragement to persevere on our spiritual journey. And are shared with educational and humanitarian purposes. Yet each of us are responsible for our choices and only you can build to your own Harmony and Spirit.

Uncompromising

When we’ve done something we judge as very wrong, we tend to compromise and overlook the truth, thinking …. ‘well, it’s not so bad,’ and let it slide.

But compromise causes destructive, inner turmoil. Somehow we know within that Truth is Law and uncompromising.

When I realize I have made a mistake and am tempted to criticize myself or others placing blame and guilt. I become grateful for the wisdom to see the truth …. ‘I made a mistake.’

The courage to rise above a mistake naturally unfolds when I acknowledge responsibility for my mbehavior! And I am grateful for recognition of the mistake and the courage to rise above it.

And as my thinking becomes calm and quiet, I pause in that wonderful awareness any negative temptations are released.

So how do we avoid comprising, destructive thinking?

Express the FourSquare:

First, consider having a positive attitude. Be optimistic, hopeful. This sets us on a positive course.

Then be aware, Conscious, reasonable, considerate. Without Wisdom we cannot be successful in anything.

And be truthful. If we ignore or deny the truth of the situation, we tend to compromise or let things slide, which arouses fear, causing a divided, restless, destructive mind.

You have the courage to walk the path of Truth: with optimism, with wisdom, and with clear sincere eyes, mind becomes calm. And we get a clear indication of being on the path of Truth, feeling inner Peace…. our natural state.

Truth opens the door within us to Harmony. And we can express that calm harmony as Goodwill. We begin to move beyond the mistake and co-create harmony in our human reality.

There are no shortcuts, no comprises, with Truth to reach Harmony.

“Goodwill is the finest expression today of Love. It does not seek anything for its own use; it is generous.”

Eugene Fersen, “The Teacher,” The Public Years of the Baron Eugene Fersen – Volume I, page 87.

Consider Yourself Love

As humans we want to find True Love. When we are in our youth we look for reciprocating love through a partner. And this human love can be so powerful that it grows and surfaces True Love to our consciousness.

When we truly love another, we are expressing the essence of our True Self. We love Love that they also are, the essence of their True Self.

We eventually become conscious that we are loving, caring and compassionate for not only our partner, family and friends, but also for ourselves, humanity and The Great All, Our Father.

True Love is the essence of your True Self, so in essence You and I are Love. Mind and Love are one and the same; there are no contrasts like doubt or guilt. The ego is released.

I realize that Love is growing in this consciousness because I notice I am more at peace and joyful. I am so grateful that I am more caring, considerate and compassionate.

We all have the freedom of choice and Power to know what we are. To become conscious of the essence of what You are now, True Love, consider practicing a simple exercise: Relaxation and Silence.

Relax the body and mind, and notice the rhythm of deep breathing slowing. As your breathing slows so does thinking. The quiet grows and the monkey chatter fades. And you can begin to notice and feel more of your true nature. You can feel the peace and joy, the Energy of Source flowing through you. And that essence of Love surfaces.

We are all connected through Love and radiate the Strength of Unity and Harmony with It. And I hope You experience more of your True nature, that of Love, the essence of your True Self.

“If you are attracted to a certain individual, you know that your natural inclination coincides with the Law of Eternal Harmony, or Love.”

Eugene Fersen, loose leaf Lessons in Science of Being, page 596.

No Thinking contemplation

We like to think. Part of us believes that our survival depends upon it ….. to problem solve, plan and protect ourselves.

But it’s the ego that feels it’s necessary to continually think. The ego keeps us busy and distracted from seeking freedom from the burdens of the ego. Burdens like Self doubt and mistrust in Source to sustain and love us eternally.

Silence is a doorway to freedom of the ego and the monkey chatter. It’s an opportunity You and I can co-create for ourselves to remember the Inner Self and feel Infinite Love.

Kindly consider practicing the silence daily or whenever you feel pressured, tired or stressed.

Todays’s consideration: ‘Constructive criticism’?

Consider that when we criticize we are judging from fear … plus the ego wants to be in control. We can be harsh. And we can be even harsher when we self criticize.

We may feel that self criticism is justified because it can help us improve ourselves. And that others are going to criticize us anyway, so why not jump the gun? We secretly feel that we are not good enough to fit in or be loved?

We all do it; we all criticize! Yet we are in a process of realizing that none of us are perfect and we all have our habits ….. we all have been programmed to adhere to established patterns of behaviors.

But….. We can pause and consider the temptation to criticize, then listen to our Inner Voice, our Higher Self, to guide us.

Criticism is directed by fear and can result in anxiety, guilt, and even self-hatred. Such temptation is just a temporary distraction from Self Love and compassion for all of us. And we can realize this.

To realize that we all are tempted to criticize, then pause and let it pass, is the beginning of having compassion for ourselves. And ….. that compassion can raise our level of consciousness to Acceptance, Understanding and unconditional Love for ourselves, for others and all Beings.

And certainly increases our happiness!
