Sheer Natural Beauty Fascination

“Buddha taught His fellow beings to love as their younger brothers all those entities belonging to the different kingdoms of Nature, to respect their lives. Thus He prepared His followers to love better their own fellow men, the highest manifestation in Nature.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 100.


 

We can go through our day and even through our life without appreciating the grass beneath our feet, the trees that defy gravity to grow upright, or the clouds above our heads full of life giving water particles. Yet, they are an integrate part of our life, and they add beauty to our life. Nature inspires us if we are willing to be aware and conscious of it.

The beauty of these small pink orchids fascinate me and stir my imagination. They’re like little fairies with wings that sparkle from natural luminescence. 

They’re about 2-3 inches across, and most of their petals are very sheer, while the center is bright yellow with tiny fuzzy looking growth. They have an aura of gentle eloquence and refinement. Yet, in their gentleness they also have a very strong presence. Unique and beautiful.

A friend had these orchids in a pot at her house in Thailand on the deck. She said that any orchids she tries to keep outside get eaten by the squirrels! Yes, squirrels any where in the world can be aggravating when they eat our stuff! I suppose that’s an analogy that it’s not our stuff – but Mother Nature’s! 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Memories lost but residue still ripples life’s pond

Mind’s walls separate, while Love’s bridges tie together

Natural forces take us home to calm and peace, to the present untethered.

 

This scene is so beautiful I thought I would share it with You. I took this photo in Virginia on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s now a historic site called Mabry Mills, but they used to grind corn on a stone mill inside powered by a stream turning the water wheel.

This setting is a popular subject for artists and You are welcomed to use it for creative art too.

The Secret to achieving love and happiness in your life

We can disregard the soul, but disregard the body and the body dies

In Light and With Love, PortiaSLB

 


We like to know secrets – the inside story. We want to know the secret to attracting the things we want, love in our life and our happiness. Secrets are a human, mental concept which gives us a big clue to the secret for achieving our fulfillment and happiness.

Our mental condition determines our state of being, especially our happiness. But our mind is usually in an inconsiderate state of constant chatter. We also experience emotions like in fear, hatred, anxiety, worry, hurry – which feeds more busy thinking. 

Yet it is also through our thinking that we can find our happiness and fulfillment. An easy way to be more aware of your thinking and quiet the mental chatter is to bring your mental focus to be in your body now and breathe. Feel your presence in your body – that is being conscious and mindful of your soul and a vaster realm of mind beyond human mental chatter. It’s an amazing awareness of Being. And, a big bonus is that you get a glimpse of unconditional Love.

These glimpses of love calms and harmonizes our thinking. And as we awaken to being motivated by kindness, consideration, goodwill and caring, then we become conscious of experiencing love. And, through experience we come to know that we are more and more in a mental condition of love. And in that condition we find, we realize, that we are happy and fulfilling our life purpose.

Being lead by Love is the secret to our human refinement and purpose of life here on earth – it’s not a secret at all


 


“MAN IS THE INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECTION OF THE GREAT PRINCIPLE INTO ITS OWN ETERNAL SUBSTANCE, PROCEEDING FROM THE GREAT PRINCIPLE AND INDISSOLUBLY CONNECTED WITH IT, MANIFESTING ALL ITS QUALITIES AND POWERS.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 47.

Comments welcomed – what’s your take?

You are the only one …

No one can

We reveal the beauty of our soul when we are sincere and open ourselves to the tenderness of our heart and love. When we see the good and beauty in others and think well of them, even when we see the negative too. When give of ourselves in service for our partners, our children, our parents, our friends and others. When we do acts of kindness. When we create works of encouragement and caring through our words, our actions and our constructions. When are truly grateful. When we are at peace. When we are present and are just being. 

We reveal the beauty of our soul unconsciously in every part of us, every minute cell of us. Yet, we normally are not conscious of that beauty, of love. We fear it, thinking it a weakness rather than strength. Yet…

The more you become conscious of your intent to be sincere, tender and loving, and practice that intent, the more you reveal your True Strength and Power. And, in that beauty comes your happiness and freedom.

No one else can do it for You.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB


“Your human intelligence is that within you which must learn the lesson of love. You are saturated with Love, made up and sustained by It; Love is the Foundation on which you are based. But you must realize this, perceive it to be so, and by thought and action build up a superstructure of Love and Harmony on the very Foundation of Love which Nature gave you at birth.” 

Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 394.

Happy New Year 2016!

The Tone and Colors for the Coming Year

The ever-present now is the timeless conscious nature of I Am, but as humans we have also conditioned ourselves to be swayed by human dictates, including the human calendar.

According to the Gregorian calendar this is the year 2016, and it has a particular vibrational frequency which can give an indication of the character and potential of this year’s cyclical pattern.

2+0+1+6 = 9

Nine represents the end of a nine year cycle and a turning point. Next year will be a #1 year and the start of a new cycle according to numerology. This year signifies some fulfillment or attainment of the cyclic pattern we’ve been in.  It’s a year of reckoning for all that has passed.

The number 9 also represents Man on the evolutionary vibrational spiral. All Matter is the Manifestation of God, the Unmanifest, with Man being a Divine Soul in the Logos. So with this year being represented by #9 it will be focused on human group and world concepts. 

davinci_sacred_spiral

It may be a difficult turning point for us if we are unwilling to face our responsibility for the harshness and suffering in the world. Groups and governments have been trying to exert more power over the people, but the people have resisted, resulting in widespread emotional unrest. And, this will most likely continue this year.

But, some of the harshness can start to dissolve if we are willing to face our accumulated repository of intolerance. We’ve been stuck here for a very long time. We dream of tolerance and compassion in the world, but cling to self-righteousness and fear. So we must learn to detach, forgive and promote the brotherhood of mankind. We do have the opportunity to free our altruistic nature, to raise our consciousness and inspire the world to heal. 

This year’s #9 energy can help us recognize the Unity of Life
and Universal Brotherhood of Man.

With the winds of change in the air, it can mean more uncertainty. There may be a variety of events this year, with inexplicable and exciting opportunities in our life stream. This indicates we will have to be more innovative and improvise in uncertain times.

With all the unrest and a troubled global economy the drive for more meaning in our life will gather speed. We will generally devote more time to humanitarian causes and spirituality. 

Number nine, being a number of fulfillment, attracts success and money. But there are always yin and yang influences, and things can change very quickly.

Overall, towards the end of this year we can find some relief from all the emotional ups and downs, if we consciously endeavor for equanimity and finish up odds and ends. Gratitude for what we do have and allowing ourselves to enjoy life can help us turn things around. 

We have choices to make that can regenerate ourselves into
a refined, higher consciousness! 

It is time to plan ahead, to learn lessons and gain wisdom through our conscious experiences during our earthly sojourn.  And, if we willingly end this 9 year cycle with some understanding and tolerance for each other and Mother Earth, we can enter the next 9 year cycle with confidence in our ability for positive creativity.

May you find Light, Love and Peace this year and all the years to come!

Okay, you may not like this entry, or at least the ego may not. It can sting.


 

Until the New Year’s entry consider this quote to reflect upon:

“Sincerity, which is a form of Truth, is a rare thing on Earth. It is Truth passing through the Door of Love.”

Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 145.

 

 

December Rose

December Rose in repose

It’s incredible! You wouldn’t expect a rose to bloom in the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, but it can! This rose is in the front of my abode and continues to bloom, even with the weather turning colder as the season progresses. 

The beauty of a rose or anything in nature touches something inside us emotionally. That is because we feel the vibrational attraction of love. The energy of the earth has the essence of beauty and love. And, expresses the nature and attraction of love in uncountable ways.  

And, we are attracted to it. It can melt our cold heart.

As our heart melts, our consciousness rises. Love can do that, bring out the tenderness of our heart and we become conscious of love.

It’s indicative of finding Love close at hand when we allow ourselves to experience beauty. And beauty is evident in a rose! 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB


“Accept Love as something normal.”

Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 69.

The Seasons of Our Life

 

beautiful lake with fence

“The seasons of our life are different units of life, and each opportunity carries with itself the different seasons, they are indissolubly connected one with another. 
In the Summer there is opportunity to increase the creation; in the Fall there is opportunity to gather the creation, and in the Winter is the opportunity to spend properly that, which as be gathered. 
Now this is Life and how lovely and how interesting it is according to the Four Seasons.”    Eugene Fersen


I’ve been meditating a bit about life and death and am grateful that I have made it thus far in my life, age wise and experience wise, etc. I’m now more conscious of the seasons of my life having gained some perspective and insights. I am coming to the peace of feeling that death will be another step in life and a joyous time, with the help of the Great Principle.  

In the hope You find Love close at hand in every season of your life, Portia SLB
