If you must sacrifice for the better good …. then this

Consider …… if we feel we are sacrificing something good for the better good or for wealth and money, then fear is leading us rather than love. Sacrificing anything good …. especially love …. is counter productive and will not benefit anyone in the universal circle of Life.

Sacrificing love, sacrificing our better ourselves, makes the ego stronger and all the egotistic traits like greed, self-righteousness, blame, hate and scorn…… rather than all of our positive, loving qualities like gratitude, optimism, understanding and courage.

To feel that we must sacrifice our energy and time to attract money or power will not bring us wealth or true power in the long run. It instead takes away from our pursuit of Happiness and spiritual Power.

Sacrificing love makes us weak because fear dominates us, rather than love. True Love is very Strong, while being very active, balancing in Wisdom, seeing the depths of Truth and Intent.

Obedience to ecclesiastic beliefs in sacrificing something good for the better good restricts and holds us frozen in that belief, in that positionality. It holds us back from our Freedom. And if it is one thing that humans love and desire it is Freedom. Even children cry for Freedom.

If we must sacrifice something then …. sacrifice fear, laziness, ignorance, procrastination, pretense and disrespect. Recognize them for what they are …… illusions that are not the Real You. Allow them to pass through you. Contact Universal Life Energy, The Great Principle, aligning with Love. Love as the Great Principle Loves ….. Love yourself and others unconditionally.

Be brave. Have a sincere intent to release blind beliefs, assumptions, blame, despair, regret, hate and scorn when then arise. Recognize them without claiming them, dwelling in them and they will fade. This is releasing them, freeing yourself of them.

And …. releasing egotistic traits helps us open more to the continuous flow of Abundance of Strength, Wisdom, Sincerity and Love within us.

It is our Hearts that are our natural Center of Attraction …. Divine, Unconditional Love sets there …. Our Hearts are drawn to the magnet of Freedom, Strength, Happiness and All Wealth. That is why ….. attitudes of Optimism, Trust and Understanding empowers us to be in the full flow of ever All Abundance.

In the hope You generously express Love in your reality, PortiaSLB

“Whenever you feel Jealousy, Envy or Hatred flare sullenly in your heart, or Selfishness invade with smothering vapors your better impulses, relax and make the contact with Universal Life Energy. Do not yield to the sudden impulse of Fear that prompts you to try to choke them back within you; the enemy must be openly met to be vanquished. … You will discover, to your amazement, that you are no longer helpless in the grip of the storm that rages within, that you feel soothed, quieted, unafraid, until presently you are aware that the Evil Passion has vanished as traceless as a shadow, leaving a calm of perfect confidence in its place.”

Unlocking your True Self

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Mindfulness, Practices, shaping your reality

Our entire being, body, mind and Soul is deeply connected to The Creator …. to Cosmic Consciousness …. to Universal Truth …. to Infinite Love …. to the Great Field of Universal Life Energy. It’s in our DNA and cell memories …. but temporarily locked away and imprisoned by the subconscious ego. Our job …. our opportunity …. our joy is to unlock our own True Self …. and co-create our happiness in this reality!  

Portion your day

Through Universal Life Energy we connect with the qualities of our True Self ….. with Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love. I’ve found that there is an easy way to approach the daunting challenge of staying conscious of our connection with Source, in continual contact with Universal Life Energy, throughout our busy day.  We currently create our reality in time and space …. and that’s all good …. so let us align with them.

View your entire day as occurring in portions …. and ….have a sincere intent to consciously be in contact with Universal Life Energy in each portion. Have an intent to consciously observe and enjoy the space you are in.

Have a sincere intent to work to be Enthusiastic, Intelligence, Sincere and Loving See the beauty in things ….. appreciate them ….. and be feel grateful.

As you awake in the mornings… that’s a portion. Even as you continue to slumber but gain consciousness … mentally contact Universal Life Energy: I am One with Universal Life Energy. I feel It flowing through me Now.

Making and eating breakfast are portions. At the beginning work potion remember to be conscious of continuing in the flow. It can energize you physically and mentally… open you to appreciation of the moment.

Before sleep ….

Realize something like, “I am One with Universal Life Energy that is flowing through me now. It flows through every nerve, hair and organ. I am in perfect health and am Strong, Wise, Honest and Loving. I am Spirit and Matter, body, mind and Soul.”  

My intent is to feel emotionally as if it is already manifested….because it has on the mental level….and what is true on one level will attract the same for all levels.

Hope you consider this method of conscious awareness and connection Source and your Real Self. Kindly share any of your insights, inspirations or questions. It may help us all!

In the hope you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“The most trivial and ordinary of your daily occupations becomes just as great a factor in the work of self-reconstruction as the more responsible ones when put to the test of the principles contained in these lessons.”

The Spiritual Warrior

We have to fight and be a spiritual warrior …. to lift ourselves up emotionally. and consciously. Step by step we can begin to feel better by recognizing opportunities in challenges and accompanying emotions. 

From anxiety and fear we can build a bridge to higher levels by realizing we have felt the same way before and we have overcome it ….. that it doesn’t have to be overcome in one moment since there is always enough time ….. that it feels good to recognize what holds us back and that recognition empowers us to see other possibilities …. and we have within us the courage to look ahead with hope. 

Courage, hope and reason are higher levels of consciously than anxiety and fear. With the attitude of courage we can experience anxiety and fear as catalysis for higher levels of consciousness.

Blocks

We all want success and happiness. But, we have been programmed in this lifetime and many more ….. how to think, feel and behave in challenging situations by our families, communities, religions, and society as a whole …… that are not always helpful. We can tend to focus on what we are missing …. and this can keep us boxed in a lacking attitude, blocking from what we want. 

Clearing the way

By being in the moment with uplifting attitudes we attract beneficial energies and possibilities. We are actually on the cutting edge of constructing our future. You may view it as building in the Law of Cause and Effect or the Law of Attraction. 

Either way you view it ….. it comes to the same Universal Law – LIFE, MIND, TRUTH, LOVE, SPIRIT IS ALL IN ALL. which is aligning with your True Self. And this is our destiny.

In Light and With Light, PortiaSLB

” The Great Principle, the Absolute, is all Life, all Mind, all Truth, all Love, all Spirit; all there is, is in the Great All, and if we apply that Law, the Law of Life, of Mind, of Truth and of Love, to all problems of our daily life, we work out, without noticing it, all the perfection we can ever aspire to, we build up the Pyramid of our own life and reach the Point of Spirit, and we do not notice how it happens, because it is the Great Principle Itself Who is working to that end through us. It is Its work as much as ours. All we have to do is to be conscious, open channels for that.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, pages 178-9.

Tought for the day

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

Our true character is revealed when things are challenging! Any negative that surfaces from within reveals what was latent ….. and this gives us an opportunity for self awareness and growth.

The ego gets all involved in other people and projects onto others. As soon as we are honest about our defects, rather than repressing, denying or projecting them, we are less defensive and more self-accepting. We are more inclined to release narcissistic ego traits like blame, guilt and pridefulness.

We have freedom of choice and we can choose Harmony. And if we can’t seem to jump right to harmony from disharmony and blame, then we can begin by taking a deep breath and relaxing. We’ve already begun to release disharmonious emotions and thoughts. In that release we can focus on feeling something better, lighter. And this is when focus on the FourSquare is so beneficial …… being optimistic, considerate, sincere, and loving.

When we are sincere we become more self-aware. And we begin to experience unconditional Love for ourselves and others.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“We must fight outside disharmony and counteract it with inside Harmony. There is nothing more helpful than to be sincere. Insincerity is one of the greatest obstacles to coming in touch with Harmony. The world today has reached a most insincere condition. We can to some extent eliminate the troubles from ourselves. Try to synchronize as much as possible with the good things. There is nothing more important than enlightenment. More light means more joy and more Harmony, more life.”

FourSquare

Today’s consideration

Summer trail PSLB 2021

Merely being conscious of our freedom of individual choices can be very uplifting and freeing.

Attitudes like those listed above are very simple choices that supports our spiritual process. It’s not just about making our life more pleasant and enjoyable, but it’s also …… about moving out of the compulsive ego that imprisons us in limiting and unhappy fallout.

Our choices determine consequences and shapes our reality.

With FourSquare choices that are Enthusiastic, Intelligent, True and Loving, we form a positive armor and eliminate the pain of mistakes.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“The wiser we become, the more harmonious we become, and the more useful we are to ourselves and to others. Wisdom governs justice and includes Love. Wise people are fundamentally kind people. Wisdom never forgets anything, but never resents anything.”

Closing your day: WAYS OF A LIGHTBEARER

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Meditations and Exercises, Practices, shaping your reality

When those of us on our spiritual journey consciously close our day…… we are still seeking Light.

We are still in pursuit of adopting the positive that benefits not only ourselves, but indeed for the benefit of all mankind ….. spiritual commitment that transcends the ordinary ego and worldly, to that which is of true value for spiritual progress.

As earthly night approaches consider adapting these effective evening routines that not only set the tone for our evening rest and rejuvenation, but also for the dawning of the day to come.

Make it your intent to feel good before sleep

Your emotions help determine the process of continuous creation in your reality ….. so an evening practice that helps you feel good, do good and Be good before bed bleeds into the night, the next morning and into your reality.

Set aside some wind down time ….. about 30 minutes before bed.

Silence and Meditation

Contact Universal Life Energy, the Supreme Universal Power, to help flow in the natural relaxing energies of our earthly life. Include an evening Relaxation and Silence practice to clear the mind and reconnect with your inner peace.

From Silence enter a few minutes of Meditation as described in Lesson 19 of 27 Lessons in Science of Being to “wipe away the discordant films which obscure expression of the Soul’s higher qualities:”

“Drown your Conscious Self in the crystal Light of your Inner Self, allowing it to dissolve from you the irritating crust of disharmonious memories and experiences….Understand it as the Inexhaustible Spring of its manifestations in you as Life, Mind, Law (Truth) and Love.”

Be a Channel for Healing

We do not have to be fully enlightened beings to be a channel for transmitting Universal Life Energy as in this practice to help heal the world: Giving Healing Energy to the World.

As you project it out to others and the world, the Universal Power flows from one being to another, connecting everyone and everything, and generating an increasingly stronger flow of the healing fire! Yet, remember do not use your own will power, rather the Will of the Eternal will do what is harmonious.

Declarations of Truth

This practice is of prime importance to me as it elevates all of my being, aligning with Truth and Love before drifting off to sleep. I am in a happy place mentally and emotionally, and I sleep very well and am refreshed in the mornings.

While lying in bed taking the Star Position and just before drifting off to sleep make these Declarations of Truth from the spark of Unconditional Love in your Heart as shared by The Teacher, Svetozar:

“Father, Thou art inspiring me on the Spiritual Plane.

Thou art guiding me on the mental plane.

Thou art sustaining and protecting me on the material plane.

I am Thy individualized projection into Thy own Eternal substance.

Indissolubly connected with Thee, manifesting all Thy qualities and Powers.” Thank You.

Avoid excessiveness and techno

Avoid large meals or excessive workouts in the evenings. If your body is still dealing with digesting lots of food or your muscles still experiencing tension, the mind stays active too!

Scrolling the newsfeed or reading messages on our smart devices before sleep keeps our brains alert. Shutting down smart devices, computers and televisions early evening helps eliminate blue light that interferes with the production of melatonin, a sleep hormone.

I have found that if I sit at my computer screen and write into the night that have a difficult time getting my brain to calm down and relax. The thinking mind takes over and just wants to think some more! I have to turn off the computer early evening, then I begin to align with the natural approaching night cycle.

But if you do find your mind racing when in bed there are some things you can do:

1) Focus on your breathing. Placing your right hand on your chest over your heart and the other cupped up consciously receiving Universal Life Energy. Breathe in and exhale slowly. Continue slow breathing as you allow relaxing.

2) Gently acknowledge what you are grateful for.

I avoid evening reviews because I’ve found that thinking about the past can keep me circling in thoughts about how I could have done better. Guilt, regret and self condemnation can subtly creep in primarily because the ego recognizes the Law of Polarity as opposite pairs. Those energies are not helpful for creating your reality, especially before going to sleep.

Whereas, focusing on gratitude lifts our emotions, keeping us in the moment and reconnecting with happiness within that is already there.

3) Try some soothing sounds to drift off to, like gentle nature sounds.

IN the hope You find these practices help You align with your Inner, True Self, PortiaSLB

Ways of a Light Seeker: Setting the tone for your day

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness, Practices, shaping your reality

Each of us are reaching for Enlightenment, whether we are conscious of it or not. It is a quality and promise of the Law of Evolution which is ever unfolding. And it is open to everyone and has no requirement other than to relax body, mind, emotions and surrender to Truth, Joy and Peace.

But there are obstacles that the human mind sets in place: 1) ignorance and fallacious beliefs, 2) pride and valuing something else because of the payoffs, and 3) impatience.

For those of us on our spiritual journey who are conscious and aware …. our behaviors have shades of meaning. We view life as opportunities for spiritual growth and choices that concur with our spiritual awareness.

There is a connection between how we start our day and what kind of life we have. The attitude you wakeup with and your morning habits bleed into your day. Like me, you may be very aware and have experienced it yourself!

PRACTICES

Here are some morning practices that can help us start our day identifying with Spirit and our inner Joy and Happiness …. setting the tone for the day.

1. Upon waking do an attitude check and become conscious of gratitude for Life, Intelligence, Truth and Love ….. and gratitude for all the opportunities that have come and are to come.

I do this before even opening my eyes! An attitude of Gratitude brightens my day and I know that there is much to look forward to. Even challenges we are to face are opportunities for growth!

2. Make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy. You can also place yourself in the Star Exercise position in the bed and make the Mental Contact.

MENTAL CONTACT
STAR EXERCISE

3. While still in the Star Position make these Declarations of Truth from the spark of Unconditional Love in your Heart as shared by The Teacher, Svetozar:

“Father, Thou art inspiring me on the Spiritual Plane.

Thou art guiding me on the mental plane.

Thou art sustaining and protecting me on the material plane.

I am Thy individualized projection into Thy own Eternal substance.

Indissolubly connected with Thee, manifesting all Thy qualities and Powers.”

Thank You.

4. After rising, avoid phones and mass media. Meditate with deep Breathing, Relaxation and Silence for as much time as you allow. This can bridge the human mind to Truth and open the door to Unconditional Love.

RELAXATION & SILENCE

5. Read some inspiring works or write in your spiritual journal. Set sincere purposes for being considerate, honest, fearless, friendly, kind and loving.

6. Go outside and walk barefoot upon Mother Earth in the sun as appropriate. Do some deep breathing and observe Nature in the moment.

Kindly share any of your experiences, comments or questions.

The world says ‘don’t discriminate,’ your Inner Courage says, ‘always discriminate’

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Practices, shaping your reality, World & Self Development: Terrorism
Photo PSLB Thailand

Discrimination reflects both the human mind and the human spirit! The human mind usually views discrimination according to the current social mania. Currently the general concept of discrimination is based in fear and hatred. It feeds more of the same energies in society, causing protests, self-righteous stubbornness, anger and hatred.

Yet, the foremost objective of discrimination that comes into evidence is the development of love within us.

Polarized discrimination

There is division in the human mind. It sees right and wrong, yes and no, duality. It divides us from Harmony and our own Soul! And it divides us from each other, thus mental and emotional judgments against groups, etc.

Yet, the human spirit also discriminates ….. with distinction. Our Spirit, our own Real Self, always discriminates with distinction to manifest all our wonderful, soulful qualities ….. of Enthusiasm, Wisdom, Truth and Love.

The greater objective of discrimination is ……

To elevate the human mind to be conscious of our Unity ….. with Spirit ….. with Harmony. To be conscious of – All Life, Intelligence, Law and Love ….. And to Manifest ….. to Be …… in the ever present moment these qualities …… with every thought, every attitude, and every act of ours.

Discrimination with fear and hatred imprisons these qualities. But we will eventually seek relief from the pain of such a mistake. Yet, we need not suffer ….. it’s up to us to beneficially discriminate.

To enhance beneficial discrimination …..

  • Be Courageous and Observe yourself in a detached mental awareness ….. the good, the bad, and the ugly. Courage can empower You ….. to observe without getting involved in the emotions.
  • Choose to release fearful, egotistic thoughts and behaviors, keeping in mind that there are no secrets.

Consider using the practice of eliminating fearful thoughts, temptations and emotions outlined in the link just below whenever you feel negative energy rise within you.

Reaching Soul Vibrations – Lesson 23

  • Courageously accepting responsibility for yourself, for your own path in life, is Willingness that empowers You to transcend reason and embrace Love. It adds to your Strength and can help attract you to ….. Forgiveness, Understanding, and Love ….. opening you to higher levels of consciousness!

“WE SHOULD ALWAYS TRY TO FEEL LOVING TO OUR FELLOW MEN, TO EXPRESS OUR LOVE-NATURE EVERY INSTANT AS MUCH AS WE CAN.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being
  • Be grateful for the opportunities in Life and ….. Give ……the whole of your physical, mental and emotional qualities – All Life, Intelligence, Truth and Love.

In this way you construct Strength, Freedom and Happiness in your Earthly Career. You create conditions for your happiness and for others.

In the hope You always FourSquare discriminate and find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Inner art

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Mindfulness, Practices, shaping your reality
photo PSLB New Zealand

Creativity is a spiritual process that as humans we sometimes overlook and underrate because we are not normally aware that we are constantly creating. We don’t see ourselves as artists …… or creators. Yet, we are constantly creating.

Creative Process

Art is the invisible within …… and the expressions of art are the manifestations. Art is the Power and Inner Being behind the creative process …….behind the manifestation of creation of works of art, rather than the works of art themselves. And that creative process is part of our life everyday.

It is the waking up and beginning your daily life of thoughts, motivations, and behaviors. You are creating within every moment of your day. Actually it is more accurate to say we are co-creators because …… there is nothing we can do without the Source, Our Father, the Eternal.

You are making choices and creating your reality …… with your thoughts, attitudes and behaviors. And this is art ….. the creative process.

Your attitudes and emotions motivate your thoughts ….. and you behave, take actions accordingly. Your actions create an effect. Everything is connected in mind, past memories and emotions, possible futures and most importantly ….. what is happening right now.

The Conscious Artist

A person conscious of being a creative artist …… loves the process of creating ….. and aware of what motives them in the present moment. Now some may call this spiritual awareness or even religious devotion ….. and it is in a way, because …… we are becoming conscious of the Divine within ourselves.

When we toast a piece of bread, paste a picture in a memory book or call a friend ….. we are being the artist …… because we are in the creative process. And we can choose to be conscious of it ….. love it ….. and create beauty because of love within ….. or slide along unconscious of our motivations or what, how we are creating.

We often create unconsciously with subconscious traits rooted in fear and ignorance, like anxiety, desire and pride. And we can be totally unaware of how such emotions motivate our thoughts and behaviors ….. and we end up creating problems/challenges for ourselves.

This inner creative quality is something to cherish and nourish

We usually dismiss and forget our creative process all together in our every day life. Yet, when we become conscious of being motivated by love and other qualities of love like ….. hope, appreciation, consideration, and compassion ….. then we are in the process of creating reality with these motivations …… and we attract more of the same …..

Then art is not a thing of beauty ….. art is beauty. Art is the inner creative cause within you …… the honoring of love and beauty. In this respect, art and our spiritual journey are one and the same.

In the hope You find your Inner Artist, PortiaSLB

Healing treatments

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Practices, shaping your reality

Health and happiness is the goal of us all and we are now becoming conscious that we are responsible for both. What we think, feel and do all determine our well being and success in life.

The purpose of Science of Being is to help all of us achieve Freedom, Strength, and Happiness. Thus this week we are exploring one of the greatest assets in our hands …… and that is to help us heal ourselves when we succumb to illnesses, physical or mental.

Here is an expert of the Companion lesson 17 in 27 Lessons in Science of Being …. kindly consider the link and joining us in this revealing series of lessons with steps to help us achieve all that we desire in life:

All illnesses are rooted in the human mind, thus start with a Mental treatment. Make the Mental Contact and get to the root of the problem by being open to recognizing the cause rooted in the subconscious ego. Let it flow through you, then fade. Allow Universal Life Energy to do Its work by penetrating and expelling the negative from the subconscious according to Universal Law without personal will power.

“Silently state that there is nothing to fear, that Peace, Confidence, Strength and Harmony are supreme in the Body under your ministrations.”

Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles in Science of Being, page 241.

And realize that Harmony and happiness is our natural state. You are being a channel for the patience to reconnect with their Higher Self and Universal Life Energy which does the healing.

For the Magnetic treatment I direct the Energy to the physical body, including any specific area as needed ….. without willing healing or transformed tissue. Depend on the Will of the Father and Universal Life Energy to work according to Universal Law, and Trust in That.

Kindly keep in mind that these lessons are arranged in gradual depth, so if you are just joining us or just starting your journey in Science of. Being start with Lesson 1 and build up.

Remember I am available for questions or comments too….. just leave a message in the comment box and I will get back with the help of the Great All.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
