As we liberate Divine Love from the subconscious beliefs and negative energy of the human ego we grow closer to the realization of our Soul.

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.

Todays’s consideration: ‘Constructive criticism’?

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, Meditations and Exercises, Mindfulness, shaping your reality

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!

Energy Suckers, Part 3 – Emotional Overwhelms and Spiritual Leaps

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, Meditations and Exercises, Practices, shaping your reality

Most of us are bedeviled by life crises at one time or another, but for many of us past childhood upheavals become lifetime challenges that still affect us, though we are not always conscious of it.

Jolts like being separated from loved ones, abuse, assault, or loss become as living nightmares and emotional overwhelms with feelings of self-blame, resentment, self-pity, shame and anger.

Yet, they point to real spiritual opportunities for leaps in consciousness.

Overwhelmed

For example, as a child I was separated from my loving mother due to divorce, but eventually we were rejoined. During the transitions I was acutely overwhelmed, feeling powerless and afraid of what might happen next. And more did happen because I was neglected and abused during our separation, which I kept secret for years.

It wasn’t until adulthood that I got spiritual counseling 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 herself.

truth will out

Years ago, most children wouldn’t speak out about abuse, neglect or trauma because as children we where naive and easily programmed to keep quiet about such things. There weren’t resources or education readily available to help. And our guardians had been conditioned the same as us.

Even as adults, instead of speaking out, revealing the truth and seeking help to free ourselves of the burdens, we tend to hold on to harmful secrets. Accumulated negative energies can manifest through nightmares, habitual anxiety, dark moods, destructive behaviors, and even illnesses.

Remember The Infinite Presence, The Absolute, is more powerful than negative emotional overwhelms and ensures our return to Harmony. We have freedom to choose our path in life and in healing.

Spiritual practices can lead to healing and leaps in consciousness, as shared in this entry. And there are organizational resources offering help now with links below.

tried and true spiritual tools for healing

1 – Consciously contact Universal Life Energy. You are opening yourself to the Absolute, God, on a physical level. Just by cupping your hands up and silently going within you can focus on your unity. You can feel It.

Contact with that All Positive Energy, Light, Embracing Law and Unconditional Love counterbalances the negative, and begins to tip the energy scale, so to speak, to positive, constructive energies.

2 – I’ve found Relaxation and Silence to be the easiest and most uplifting practice to become conscious of being in the ubiquitous Universal Energy field. And it naturally leads to the Mental Contact with that Power.

3 – Willingly notice emotional upset without resistance when it rises.

Instead, honestly acknowledge feelings or pain without labeling or getting caught and circling in them. Fearful thoughts and feeling negative thoughts will eventually run out.

But, if you label thoughts and feelings like, I am worthless, then you are owning it, holding on to it, and will manifest like qualities. If you resist or try to suppress negative judgments, they just become stagnate and accumulate to surface with more force later.

4 – Further the process of release with negation. Mentally put negative thoughts and feelings like self-pity, resentment, or anxiety mentally behind you. Recognize but release them because they are not the Real, harmonious you.

5 – Instead, consciously acknowledge Eternal Harmony within yourself, using I am statements of Truth in a soft voice, like “I am One with Universal Life Energy that is flowing through me Now. I am indissolubly connected to Eternal Harmony manifesting all the same qualities of Universal Power, Cosmic Consciousness, Immutable Truth and Unconditional Love.”

This is especially beneficial just before sleep because you are infusing the mind, body and emotions with Truth and Divine Love, and resting in it overnight.

6 – Having aligned with Harmony within, the next step, and the most important, is to examine the cause behind the overwhelm so it can be recognized and eliminated.

The cause will be from a conflict in the subconscious that is out of alignment with Harmony; out of alignment with the FourSquare. Reasons including distorted perceptions, the way you’ve been taught to react, programming in the family or society, self-recrimination, or trying to control things.

Listen to your Higher Self and intuition and when you realize the cause, let it fade without resistance or fear. Negativity naturally fades as you align with Harmony.

A shift in consciousness occurs from seeing the situation as it is. We enter a higher level and understanding of truth. I experience a sense of calm understanding and peace.

7 – This, to me, is the most uplifting aspect in the healing process as we return full circle to Harmony …..Those doing conscious spiritual work already aim to be aware of what arises in the present moment. There is a willingness to look within to that awareness that is silent. And in Silence, it’s natural to realize the Universal Energy field of what some call Presence.

We become conscious of something greater than ourselves ,,,,,. Presence of Harmony.

We are naturally attracted to the Presence of Harmony. Even if that conscious Oneness fades, we know It is there and will have a spiritual intent to consciously return to that Harmony.

At present

With patience and perseverance, an emotional upheaval can promote a transformative spiritual leap in consciousness ….. We reconnect with the essence of what we are, evolving our perspective of life.

I encourage you to use these practices and seek help as you are guided with the many more resources for assault, death of loved ones, and other traumas.

Energy Suckers, Part 2 – Bad Reactions and how to reestablish Harmony

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, Practices, shaping your reality

During our daily spiritual journey there are energy suckers from within that can distract us from our intents meant for strength, success, happiness, and spiritual unity.

And the easiest way to become conscious of subconscious traits that derail us and cause things to go sideways is to observe our reactions concerning someone else. Others can act as a mirror to see ourself.

And, if any negative traits surface, like resentment, guilt or dread, remember it is a real spiritual opportunity!

Troubling reactions

Since everyone is different, then different notes may be aroused when we interact with others. When you begin to notice something bothersome stirring within, pay attention and notice without getting involved, thinking and feeling thoughts. Remember they are energy suckers that distract you from your core of harmony.

Some destructive energies can be subtle like impatience, resentment, pride, defensiveness, boredom, or comparison. Or appear as strong pulls toward anger, hate, disgust, sadness, jealousy, regret, or fear.

Just notice any traits that are triggered without harsh judgment, remembering that they are temporary thoughts and feelings that will pass. Negative traits are not the real you.

Listen to your Intuition and begin to fight for your harmony.

The Present Moment is empowering!

I have found it essential to pause. I take some deep, slow breathes and silently go within. In advantageous conditions I close my eyes.

Both body and mind begin to relax. And when the mind relaxes its attachment to thinkingness relaxes. Let sensations, thoughts and feelings flow by without giving them attention. It becomes natural for mind to gravitate to peace and silence that is always there.

When you become Silent within, then it’s an opportunity to become conscious of the ubiquitous Universal Energy field. In that contact with Universal Life Energy you are countering the undesirable trait with All Positive Energy and the other qualities of Intelligence, Truth and Love.

You are choosing and allowing uplifting energies and your character and experiences will eventually change as those qualities surface in your consciousness.

More Positive Responses

Calmly negate any destructive thoughts and feelings like anger throwing them in a mental trashcan. Instead reach for Positive qualities that are naturally within your Heart like Gratitude, Optimism, Understanding, Compassion and Love.

Deliberately change discouraging thoughts to allow more uplifting, feel good thoughts that will attract more uplifting thoughts. For example, if you observe jealousy rise its head, deliberately allow yourself to be happy for the other person. And this attracts more uplifting thoughts and emotions like gratitude and compassion.

I have experienced first hand negative, low frequency personality traits surface repeatedly that sucked optimism right out of me. I’ve found resentment very subtle, but when it cropped up I quickly focused on gratitude in silence.

Live in the Present Moment. Use it. And act to re-align with your spiritual intents using the FourSquare as a map to happiness.

The Core

It’s a process of being courageous enough to be honest about ourself, releasing negativity and remembering what we truly are. I have repeatedly fought for harmony and have come to know the core of what I am. And so can you.

I invite You to share your own experiences or insights for overcoming negative reactions concerning someone else.

3 Energy Suckers Leading, Part 1-Destructive Urges and how to become Empowered

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Liberating Your Soul, shaping your reality
Photo PSLB

Most of us experience energy suckers within that we avoid harmonizing for one reason or another even though they may cause things to go wrong. Yet they serve as wakeup calls to eliminate from our character and win back Harmony. 

ONe Inner energy sucker is annoying, harmful habits with overpowering urges, cravings, and desires

Understanding any destructive habit is vital because Ignorance, Fear and Apathy are pushy traits that originate in the human mind and holds us in limbo. But our Soul seeks expression in our life and we are here to develop ourselves and eliminate the walls that imprison that which we are. And destructive habits are walls and energy suckers.

Indulging mindlessly

The longer we delay in eliminating destructive conditions the more trouble is drawn to us because of the Law of Attraction. But wishing it away is useless. And denial keeps us in the same condition or worsens it.

So we may try using will power, but human will is limited, and it’s easily observable. We may start the day saying we aren’t going to do a certain thing, but our programming takes over and we indulge in some disadvantageous habit.

And, what’s so amazing is we can indulge without even being aware of what we had promised ourselves until much later! We had become so programmed subconsciously that old brain patterns engage and we mindlessly indulge.

It could be something like easily loosing our tempter, road rage, procrastinating, binge eating, constantly checking the mobile phone, watching porn and staying up late. We just do it automatically, then perhaps regret it later.

Lizard Brain

Research has shown that habitual urges are established programs and patterns in the most primitive part of the brain. Some call it the lizard brain. The subconscious has been programmed and grown unnoticed! Every time you give into an urge it only reenforces the brain pattern that makes it stronger.

Eventually it is gone

The habit has no power over you unless you choose it. Observe the temptation as just that ….. only a temporary, mental urge. And remember that thoughts, feelings, urges are not you!

You can choose to dismiss an urge and accompanying thoughts and feelings, by negating them. And without acting on an urge repeatedly, it eventually fades until no more.

We can pause, take some deep breathes to relax physically and mentally. Remember to contact Universal Life Energy and we begin to change the way we think and behave because we are beginning to change brain patterned programming too. We are choosing the unlimited positive!

This is the most beneficial act we can choose ….. to consciously unite with Universal Life Energy to admit the healing power of Love, the highest aspect.

When any dark urge surfaces remember that it’s an opportunity to eliminate it and harmonize. Contact the Power and let It emphasize the positive and harmonize the negative.

Helpful

Again…. remember that every destructive urge is an opportunity in the present moment to harmonize ourselves and reach for Love.

I’ve found it very helpful to write down the harmful habit and accompanying thoughts and feelings, so I can become more aware, alert and conscious of the freedom of choice when urge voices surface again. And the voices will surface again!

I also write any positive actions/intents in a journal daily to set intents and be conscious of them, especially when urges come to the surface. It’s one day at a time and building on it. There is the opportunity to choose a positive, constructive response rather than obey the negative, destructive urge.

Empowered!

Conscious realization of freedom of choice is empowerment! It’s wisdom, from within. And the more we choose uplifting responses and negate destructive urges, the sooner those urges leaves us.

Urges, cravings, desires, and all thoughts and feelings are fleeting; they’re temporary. So we can pause and let them pass without acting on them, living in the moment. And freely choose uplifting thoughts like gratitude, appreciation, compassion and joy.

For more insights I’ve found resources very helpful and hope you do too: Lesson 23 of The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being by Eugene Fersen and The Little Book of Big Change, The No-willpower Approach to Breaking Any Habit by Amy Johnson, PhD.

There are also groups that serve to help overcome destructive addictions one day at a time with Twelve Step Programs like Alcoholics Anonymous.

Kindly look for the next entry on energy suckers to be conscious of and utilize for your happiness.

Top ways to master challenges that threaten the Spiritual seeker’s progress

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, Meditations and Exercises, shaping your reality
Photo by rizknas on Pexels.com

It’s amazing the emotions we can mentally repress. One of them is anger…..and it can be shocking when it explodes to our consciousness! Another is shame or humiliation ….. we may despise ourselves when it surfaces. Or it may be hopelessness ….. but we are aware of feeling despair, or even depressed. Any of these could hamper a spiritual seeker’s progress if we let it fester.

What can a spiritual seeker do?

1. See it as a Spiritual opportunity

When an egotistic challenge surfaces, especially a repressed one that suddenly explodes, consider it an excellent spiritual opportunity! It may be rooted in a trauma, yet see it for what it is …… a real, precious spiritual opportunity to overcome and raise your consciousness.

Life challenges us to express our Soul qualities ever stronger. We have to be conscious and aware of any egotistic trait or emotion that threatens our health and happiness in order to do anything about it. Be conscious that it is fleeting and not the Real You. Rather it is a temporary illusion that you can overcome, and constructively progress on your spiritual journey to fulfill your soul’s destiny.

2. Develop patience and perserverance

Your Soul endeavors to expose and purge every egotistic opposition to its freedom. And though not all obstacles may be overcome immediately, with patience and perseverance you can progress.

Blend reasoning and intuition, and let enlightened Understanding strengthen your Soul qualities of optimism, wisdom, sincerity and compassion to meet challenges.

We have within the ability to overcome every challenge that comes our way because the Great Law would not stop progress. Every step that overcomes an obstacle adds to our spiritual progress. Bit by bit we evolve.

3. Come to the present moment

Relax and take some deep breathes to energize the body and brain and bring awareness into the present moment, knowing that the present moment is all there is. Now is powerful and the only moment where great opportunities are within reach, because we exist only now.

4. Continually contact Universal Life Energy

Contact the Power of Universal Love and Attraction, Universal Life Energy, which attracts the very Soul qualities within that help you face obstacles. And know that you are not alone in the fight for harmony.

See any apparent defeat as another opportunity to realize that defeat is only a defeat if we see it that way. Learn from challenges and meet them ever stronger with your Soul qualities of Strength, Intelligence, Truth and Love.

Life is meant for your happiness and enjoyment. If any repressed trauma does surface be gentle with yourself and face it with unconditional Love. Choose to feel grateful for the opportunity to face it consciously and rise above it.

5. Express the FourSquare

All that arises and happens in our life are spiritual opportunities, even those that are devastatingly ugly and can kill our bodies. Endeavor to accept any lesson that surfaces and proceed with optimism, understanding, sincerity and above all Love (the FourSquare).

Love is a Power and a Universal Law. It governs the Universe in Harmony. So identify with It mentally, physically, emotionally, and spiritually. It’s the surefire way to progress on your Spiritual journey.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Another uncomfortable pitfall of the seeker that can be subtle!

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, shaping your reality

There are many pitfalls on a spiritual seeker’s journey to evolve beyond the ego and one of the most uncomfortable is repressed anger. It can be subtle ….. because it may be just under the covers so to speak …. But it can also brust to the surface suddenly and shake us to the core!

It is a destructive energy and we may act on it unknowingly. There may be feelings of wanting to be better than others, of feeling self-righteous, of the need to give your opinion, of the need to protest, of the need to win and not be defeated.

We are ambitious. And repressed anger can suddenly rush to the surface and we are sooo mad that it hurts!

We want to win and the desire may be so strong that it could be at any cost! It’s the way of most politically minded individuals.

We’ve been conditioned that way….. to compete…. to strive to be better than everyone else. We compare ourselves to others. And judge.

And until repressed anger comes to the surface it is not processed and we rise above it. Repressed anger can morph into physical or mental issues. We see it in today’s society. We’re loud! It’s the lower ego.

Yet, those of us on a conscious spiritual journey can be constructively aggressive rather than destructively angry. We can be constructively aggressive by being considerate and caring, releasing fear in our hearts. By being sincere. By practicing Silence and listening to the Inner Voice and guidance. Thus, we counteract impatience, pride, fear and anger.

And when you are tempted by anger and repressed anger suddenly surfaces, be kind to yourself. Relax, take a deep breath and know that You are not alone in your fight for Inner Peace. You have the help of the Eternal and a host of others that fight for Inner Peace. Make the Mental Contact and let It help You.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

” We must fight, not on the battlefield of killing, but on destroying all that is opposing real happiness with us. …. We are fighting in the army of the Eternal. ….. there should be no fear in our hearts, no matter what the pressure of the negative or the Astral. We should not say we are alone. We are not. We should rise above it and say, ‘I have within me the Sword of Truth, my helmet is the Inspiration from above.’

Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings In Science of Being Volume II, page 124.

Today’s consideration: The lie about lying!

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Liberating Your Soul, Mindfulness, shaping your reality

We might as well face it …. lying is a sign of being afraid! There is no such thing as a little white lie meant to protect someone or something. It still comes from fear, is unbeneficial, and a mistake. It would be more beneficial to say nothing at all. Habitual lying is a form of slavery for pretense and hypocrisy.

To realize the truth about lying begins to free us from the fear that grips the ego into believing that lying is a tool to use from time to time for the good of ourselves and others. It’s not a protection from getting hurt, shame, guilt, or despair. It’s cowardly and a barrier from experiencing Trust in Life and the Universe. It’s holds us back from expressing our innate love and experiencing love from others.

Out of fear we are tempted to lie. Yet, the temptation to lie is a temporary condition ….. it will pass. We need only to pause and observe without attachment the way we are tempted to think in the moment.

When we realize this through experience, we are able to recognize traits of the ego like lying, like greed, guilt and criticism are mistakes in the making when we succumb to them. They are based in fear. We can instead choose to align with Truth, with honesty, sincerity, and accuracy.

And the potential for Understanding, compassion and love for ourselves and others rises naturally. We get closer and closer to Unconditional Love. And the Truth of our Real Self is unveiled.

And thus our Joy and Happiness increases too.

Today’s consideration: Food, sex, worries; So many distractions

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Liberating Your Soul, Meditations and Exercises, Mindfulness

Thinking is an addictive distraction, especially when we have an intent to quiet the mind, to mediate and come into your Real Self. We tend to think about things we try to avoid or repress when we get quiet and listen to ourselves. Things like that chocolate we’re missing, the sexual pleasures we’re missing, and the many, many solutions to worries we’re missing.

It’s normal for us all. That’s important to remember when the guilt and the hurt of it all begins to further distract us. Yet, we can free yourselves with practice.

Just keep being conscious and aware of the temptation to be distracted. Just observe, be the watcher of the thinker without judgment. And amazingly, in that awareness of the temptation to be distracted, you have entered a meditation of observation. Whereas, if you we unaware of being distracted then one thought leads to another. And you can circle there.

Let compassionate Love lead you deeper into Relaxation and Silence. Pause and take some deep breathes, being conscious of breathing in Universal Life Energy. Let compassion for yourself, lead to compassion for others and for all Beings. And in this practice you can release, release and rise in consciousness above temptation into Love, Peace and Joy.

Delirium while seeking Inner Peace

We all suffer, and for those of us on a conscious spiritual journey we may suffer emotionally more than anything. As we travel along gaining more and more experiences, there is the process of learning from our mistakes. And this can cause the greatest emotional suffering, yet it is part of the human growth process. The good news is that we can rise above it.

There are egotistic challenges …

Like guilt, self-righteousness, pride and frustration. Impatience is one that I repeat and I suffer emotionally from with guilt, resentment and even self hatred. Sometimes it seems to be an endless dark, painful tunnel of different negative traits! Yet there is Light of hope and inspiration to continue to fight for Freedom.

One thing egotistic challenges teach us is to be more conscious, alert and aware of temptations that surface. And that they should be faced, rather than pushed down again only to resurface stronger than ever. Better to face and release now than let them fester and grow.

And if we ignore feelings and dealing with trauma and traits that may have initially happened in childhood, we cause ourselves more trauma unknowingly. In childhood if we didn’t have help with trauma, we probably suppressed our emotions, which grew unnoticed. We were naive.

So when we become stressed in our daily life; feeling bothersome feelings like anxiety we may try to soothe or numb ourselves by looking for comfort in overindulgence in unhelpful matters, like over eating, porn, drugs.

Better to face negative emotions and past memories of trauma, rather than continuing to be naive, so we can come to the present moment fully. And feel the uncomfortable emotions and consciously choose to let them go ….. then embrace those emotions that are uplifting. It’s our choice, after all!

The fight for Freedom

Some may encourage us to be humble and forgiving to overcome negative traits, Yet, humility haves connotations and definitions of lowliness and unworthiness. Forgiveness has connotations and definitions of indulging in excuses for wrong doing, or ignoring negativity.

I’ve found that being accepting and compassionate are fitting and accurate. When we can accept our and others egotistic fallibilities as being human we can give up, that is release, the obsession with “being right!”

Self-honesty requires courage. And courage lifts us consciously; it helps us recognize negative patterns of resentment and condemnation without getting all involved and stuck, then feeling guilty about it.

We can be compassionate, see our human fallibility and be willing to do something about it, by releasing it, letting it pass us by. This is being lead by Unconditional Love.

We may initially feel the pain of an egotistic trait or traumatic memory. In fact the pain points to what needs awareness and healing. Sure, self defensiveness may creep up too!

Yet, those egotistic constricts are released when we let them pass us by. And we are able to rise above the pain into understanding, optimism and gratitude.

I become so grateful for becoming aware of different painful emotions …. temptations that where under the surface and have been around a long, long time stemming from childhood trauma.

We can face dark memories and emotions stemming from trauma and be protected. You have the help, and we all do, of The Great Law through Higher Consciousness, with Universal Life Energy as the constant inspiring Source of Power and Unconditional Love. Such Love is our True protection. We merely have to be compassionate and willing to make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy.

Rise above

It seems obvious that with more self-honesty and release of negative temptations we become less vulnerable to self condemnation and creating more trauma of fearful traits of feeling like a victim, self-hatred and escape-ism.

With acceptance, compassion and release we rise above the emotional pain. And with gracious and compassionate attitudes like alert awareness and optimistic gratitude, we can rise in consciousness.

We can align with our natural state of happiness, Joy, Love and Harmony. Yet, we must be brave!
