Self-lies overtaking,
Sabotage in the making.
Externalizes pain with excuses
Looking for distractions
To avoid fear,
To avoid abuse sensation.
Harsh control of childhood-will,
Result – procrastination.
Cognitive behavior, little self-regulation
Squandering Life participation.
Let your tears Love,
Inspire emotional transformation.
Self-lies overtaking,

Externalizes pain with excuses

Result – procrastination.
Cognitive behavior, little self-regulation
Squandering Life participation.
Let your tears Love,
Inspire emotional transformation.
It’s a dark, dark hole;
The center of our life
At one time
Long dead and decayed,
Remnant of what was,
Yet, decay can be a hotbed for growth.
Harmful weeds,
Poison vines that climb
And come back out
Into consciousness.
No power of discrimination,
And we fall back into conditioned illusion.

A spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart because it can mean a great deal of work to know both the personal, human traits and the individual, spiritual aspects of ourselves. Knowledge of the human, personal part is not always pretty, yet it is essential in order to release any part of it that may be holding us back from the success and happiness that is our natural right as souls.
Our life is our spiritual journey. And, by looking at our life experiences, the choices we’ve made and our character we can learn about ourselves.
But, some of it – yeah, a lot of it is not pretty! Yet, it is essential to look at that too in order to grow.
“Know yourself and you will know All,” means we have to look at and know what we perceive as ‘the good, the bad and the ugly’ about ourselves.
We often overlook the ‘good’ about ourselves, identifying instead with ‘the bad and the ugly’ more often than not. We suffer from the ugly emotions of traumas and painful situations, identifying ourselves as a victim rather than as an authentic person that’s had terrible experiences. We experience fear unconsciously.
Sometimes we even choose to identify ourselves as ‘bad,’ and act it out. And that is our right as a soul. Yet, that doesn’t mean that abuse should be tolerated – even from ourselves. It should not.
All experiences, even ‘bad and ugly’ experiences have value. Those negative energy ones point out what we are to overcome and can motivate us to reach for our inner strength, wisdom, truth and love in order to heal ourselves. That we might come to know ourselves as a compassionate power and soul.

Until next time consider the following quote to reflect upon:
“The battle rages usually on the mental plane, but affects the physical plane.”
Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Volume 1, page 168.
Though you’ve known troubles so dark that fear could kill
You are beautiful, kind smile, wise eyes that see the depth of here,
Refined colors within, inspired song of world with goodwill
Tender heart draws compassion, freedom from darkness, to come near.
As spiritual beings we are each beautiful and unique and it is our opportunity as earthlings to bring that forth and improve our condition now.
The orchid signifies different qualities in different cultures, but it can be said that beauty, refinement and affection are predominate. Qualities we all aspire to, and more importantly qualities that are already ours!
Orchids hanging from an eave along the river is an unexpected combination unless you are in a tropical country like Thailand!

Pink
Gentle rose
Your beauty frees
Inner Love no longer in repose.

“Nature tells us to be ourselves. Be true to ourselves, and we will be true to others, especially to the Eternal.”
Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Volume 1, page 300.
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.

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!

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
Life is too busy,
too dull,
too stressful,
too painful
yet
i take a Super-conscious view
Ascend egotistic status quo
release all thought
obtuse space time
breath
effervescent illumination
allow Inward Soul
to be in control
waves of peace
core and aureole
the best moment . . . .
mind
still a human contender
return to this earthly life
all the strife
remember and retain
a ray of splendor
more than that –
Now every moment
the best moment
as
I
release
and
surrender.
May you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
