Reflection on the River of Life

 

Appreciation for Mother Nature can open our awareness to Universal Love. 

Reflections on Thai River

 

The calmer and more serene we are mentally and emotionally the better we are able to realize our true spiritual character and reflect it in our earthly life.


 

Everything in our life presents us with opportunities. Even our reflection on water can open us to spiritual realizations.

 When we are conscious and appreciate this very moment of our life, we are aware of our Inner Being:  the energy of our self, our thinking, our feelings of sincerity, peace and harmony –  we realize we are part of the river of All Energy, Powers and Love; our Unity with all Beings and the Infinite Source.

We are centered within our self, caring, compassionate and aware of being part of All.

Each of us are very capable of consciously experiencing our unity with the Source of our earthly reflection.

Hey, Buttercup

Hey, Buttercup

The kid inside
welcomes the bright
golden gift of love
and pure joy.

Kids and buttercups go together in my mind, maybe because most kids are happy and playing when they are outside in nature. I remember as a kid how it just made me happy inside to see even one buttercup! As it does Now. And, I hope does for You.

————

Buttercups can be found in fields, near forests, and even in flower gardens around the world. And, when you look at a bunch of them near ground level it looks like a band of yellow gold! Though you look down to see them as you are walking, they can inspire you to look up within and feel happiness inside.

-ooooooo-

Buttercups can be an analogy for real happiness in life, joy and laughter! 

Perhaps the tenderness inside You can relate to the idea of buttercup!

Light and Love, Portia SLB

 

Butterfly Wisdom – Drifting Desires

Floating Hopes

Drifting Desires

Though desires are realized, happiness is fleeting.

 Some drift downstream, continually retreating.

New desires drift in, some repeating.

Stay present, conscious mind, and desires begin depleting.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Butterfly Wisdom – Arrows Fly

Arrows Fly→→→

Listening to self-deception, sharpened by fear, jealousy, accusation,
Self-righteous arrows fly→→→  searching for their target to inflect  pain by    humiliation.

The targeted heart←←← being both judicious and tender, ardently follows Spirit  consideration,
Whispers silent words forgiving, gently pressing in arrows of desperation.

Self-righteous slings more arrows→→→ whetted with suspicion of retaliation.
Again targeted heart←←← presses in arrows realizing psyche seeks release from the  pain  of holding on to fearful accumulation.

Anxious psyche shakes off self-doubt while searching for an explanation,
Unknowingly cries out for freedom from self-righteous justification.

Ardent heart in stillness offers tender and gentle Love as motivation.
Looks up within for further guidance and inspiration.

The intent being to elicit Truth when there is possibility of arrows× mobility,
The wish to convey the highest form of compatibility,
The hope being to maintain inner tranquility,
The reality being to deny fear of any other possibility.

Finding Beauty – Cherry Blossoms

 

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

Weeping Cherry Blossom

 Cherry Blossoms

 One of the most spectacular signs of life budding from a long winter’s slumber is that of the plants and trees blooming with warm spring colors against clear, blue skies.

Pale pink is the color of tender and unconditional Love.
It is spring’s sweet blossom of compassion and gentle nurturing.

Cherry blossom cloud

In the Japanese tradition and art the cherry tree is symbolic of extreme beauty then quick death; mortality. It’s like clouds that burst forth in their bountiful glory then quickly change, even disappearing to the human eye though they have merely changed form.

Life it is always changing and in constant movement. Upon the earthly death of an individual, the soul  merely changes its body, its form.

Weeping Cherry Trunk

Even the trunk of the ornamental cherry tree is beautiful!

What They’re Not Telling, Part 5

Spirit of the Soul

We tend to overlook our simplest soul attributes and put them in the back seat of our activities. Yet, we need only express them in our life to help us live a more successful, happier life now. And as we live them consistently, the more refined we become, revealing the source of those qualities – the Spirit of our Soul.

A newborn’s tender expressions of their soul remind us of our own soul qualities which are hidden behind the masks we have created for ourselves and we’ve come to believe. We were once newborns too, and can express those FourSquare qualities again:

  • Newborns assert living in the moment. Life is precious and this moment is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live it fully without fear of the unknown future or pain of the past.  
  • Their very presence is the felicity of creative change. Change is the very nature of the universe, and it is advantageous for us to maintain an attitude that is mentally open and adaptable rather than fight against change, looking on it as an opportunity for growth.
  • Newborns demonstrate that we do not know everything there is to know and that is a blessing because we have the joy of learning and making new discoveries before us. As we commit to our spiritual practice in earnest, we become more conscious of inspiration and guidance of our Super-consciousness and the traits and habits of the subconsciousness, which we can use wisely to help transform ourselves. With an Enlightened Mind we discriminate intelligently with the consideration of Love leading us in our choices of behaviors.
  • Newborns testify to sincerity, honesty and the power of faith and trust in the Eternal. Doubt fades away the more we are sincere and honest we are in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, freeing us from the roles we play and aligning with the Universal Laws. Habitually repeating anger, resentment, guilt, worry and other subconscious traits can lead to becoming self-righteous, limiting our view of the world and ourselves.
  • It is easy to love our own newborns since they are so tender, gentle and trusting. Newbies radiate an aura of generous love and even if they are not our children they warm our hearts. Their heart of love attracts love from within us and gives us the great opportunity to know the best part of ourselves, our unconditional Love and the endless abundance of love. Compassionate Love promotes understanding and cooperation.
  • When we look into the eyes of a newborn we can see that Divinity is close at hand, because looking into the eyes of another human is looking at Divinity. And, when we are truly conscious of looking at Divinity, another Soul, we can see ourselves in them, because we are of the same Divine Source.

Easy to Love
As we consciously practice releasing false beliefs about ourselves, we also can wholeheartedly embrace Love and all our soul qualities of Strength, Wisdom, Truth. The more we do, the closer we come to the full realization of the Spirit of our Soul, the Divine in ourselves.

We can see the Divine in newborns. Now is the time to see It in others and most of all experience It in our self. Our Soul qualities to wholeheartedly manifest are:

Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“The emotion of Love is for us the key which open the gates of Heaven. In reality we do not love human beings; we think we do. We love Divinity through human beings. We have that longing and yearning within us to go back to the Father, to the Absolute, and whenever we find a channel through which we can achieve that return to Him, a channel opened by Love, we are only too glad to use it, because it is the inmost desire of our heart, it is the love of our Soul.” 

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 44.

Nature’s Sunflowers

We live in constructed civilization, yet we are still surrounded by nature’s bounty from the air we breath, the grass growing in the crack of the sidewalk, to the flower in the garden. When become aware of such wonders it brightens our outlook because it inspires us to appreciate not only the beauty we live in, but also to feel it emotionally!

In the hope You have many emotional sunflowers in your life, Portia SLB

What They’re Not Telling, Part 4

 Soul Statement of Love

 We spend most of our life unconscious of the best part of our self, and at times suffer from aversion, fear, and loneliness. But, newborns speak to us soul to soul to help us know that we are capable of giving and receiving the deepest kind of love.

Being Lead by Love
It was love at first site for me, even before first site, when my children were born. And, for most people newborns draw some degree of love from them through the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction.  

  • You can see tenderness in others when they respond to newborns. Newborns have a transcendental atmosphere about them that brings gentleness, nurturing and love to the surface of our consciousness. Through loving them we can get a real sense of our unlimited capacity to love. The more we love the more we have to give. 
  • Little by little we begin to realize that compassion is unconditional love in action and it’s a great privilege to help another being, if it is nurturing a newborn or even if it is only holding the door for someone. That’s a great gift because it helps us be less self-centered, while getting a glimpse of our true character which is abundantly generous with kindness, goodwill and patience.
  • Through compassion we can come to appreciate the opportunity and benefit of approaching everyone as a friend with respect and compassion. Love is wise because it is also Enlightened Mind. Thus, we will be wise enough to know when to back off and let anyone have their space if they are contrary. It is our opportunity to love them unconditionally without harsh judgment and help them if they ask for it. They are on their journey, working out their karma as they agreed to with The Great Law.
  • Another quality of love that newborns bring to the forefront of our consciousness is patience, and they certainly can help us discipline in that respect. We can come to recognize patience within ourselves. But, we add to the energy of impatience and negative if we tolerate aggression in our adult relationships. That’s when to say “no” to aggression and cruelty which causes all concerned to suffer and we should not be patient with it. We can learn to set limits, while keeping our heart open to unconditional love.  

Being Human
Newborns are human and complain like most of us. They cry when they are impatient, but on a deeper level they cry to be cared for and loved. Their impatience and complaints do not hurt us because we love them.

When we, as adults, are impatient or complain we are unconsciously trying to be cared for and loved too, but being self-conscious we are responsible for the perverted idea of love. We try to get attention and sympathy, even wanting to blame someone or something else rather than taking responsibility for ourselves.

If someone’s complaints hurt our feelings that is because there is something within the ego to be hurt. They can motivate us to look within ourselves and find out why. 

For ways to release habitual behaviors that keeps us repeating the same adverse patterns consider the series: The Power of Emotion to Change Your Life.

The Law of Attraction is the Law of Love
We are naturally attracted to newborns because of love. When we discriminate and consciously let love lead us then we naturally feel it in our heart, and compassion begins to grow in us which spreads to embrace others too. 

Great Friends of humanity have brought the message of Love throughout the ages, and so too has The Lightbearer Eugene Fersen brought the Law of Love to help us return to the Love of our Soul and the Eternal, transforming ourselves to a freer, stronger and happier condition.

THE LAW OF LOVE: NO MATTER UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES,
ALWAYS MEET EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY WITH LOVE.

May you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB


To see what 60 Minutes says about newborns knowledge of human morals view the video in: Soul Quality of Truth and Law.

Next week we’ll put it all together, with the help of the Great Law and look at how expressing all of our soul qualities of Life, Mind, Truth and Love naturally leads us to realization of union with Spirit. It’s what newborns are not telling us, unless we read their analogy!

Until next week consider this quote to reflect upon:

“All things can be bought; LOVE IS THE ONE THING WHICH CAN NEVER BE BOUGHT. That is why it is really precious and that is why we should never be ungenerous with it, because there is always enough for us to give. In fact, the more we give, the more there is to be given.”

Eugen Fersen, Science of Being, page 28.
