The quest for spiritual wisdom has come to the forefront in the minds of humanity as we seek Freedom, Justice and Happiness. We seek Truth and quest for our Soul. We are Light seekers and Lightbearers!

Science of Being by Eugene Fersen, page iii.

One hundred years ago THE LIGHTBEARERS was founded by Eugene Fersen and now the Teachings of Science of Being have spread around the world, helping thousands change their lives for the better.

“The Organization of THE LIGHTBEARERS was founded on the 14th of December, 1921. … The year 1921 adds to 13, a sacred number. It is a number which Humanity fears and yet a magic number so to speak in its Spiritual meaning .”

Eugene Fersen

According to sacred numerology this 100th anniversary date also adds to 13!

12/14/2021 = 1+2+1+4+2+0+2+1 = 13

Thirteen has a spiritual significance …. indicating tremendous powers of change and potential regeneration for something of spiritual value in the world! So, we all have great potential to refine ourselves in our earthly reality with this Wisdom.

“We started the work not with a rule, but with an opportunity ….. That opportunity was the Message:

Express in every act of yours, All Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love, thus living only can you live; thus acting only can you build to Freedom, Strength and Happiness in Life. This is your Problem: be this your foremost Aim.”

Eugene Fersen
The FourSquare

Science of Being is spiritual Wisdom that is organized to make our spiritual journey easier. There are no beliefs, rules or regulations, rather opportunities to harmonize your body, to elevate your emotions and unite your mind and Heart. Your Heart is your Seat of Love, connection to your Higher Self, and sacred chamber of the Eternal within.

The Teachings include ways to directly contact Source through Universal Life Energy as demonstrated in the image above and mental methods too. Universal Life Energy is used for healing treatments to harmonize physical, mental and emotional issues. It overpowers low energy frequencies, elevating and stimulating our consciousness to awaken to our Higher Self and Soul …. “to awaken within each that which still burns, the Light of Spirit which we all carry within us all the time.”

” Everyone of us mortals is to be a Lightbearer, to be a witness of The Absolute, carry the Light.”


Eugene Fersen

Ways to go beyond ordinary thinking

We are very capable of recognizing and exercising our mental powers to raise our ordinary rate of vibration, becoming freer and happier. And we don’t have to spend the day in meditation! 

Being conscious and aware of what is happening in our thinking is the easiest way to create a freer mind and attract what you want in life. If we recognize we are tempted by anxiety or greed, be brave. We should acknowledge temptations without labeling them ….. energizing them. Egotistic, immature thoughts can hold us in discouraging circles of regret, craving, worry and hate. 

Relax physically and mentally, observing the feelings, the sensations, rather than the thoughts as a detached, impersonal observer. 

If we get involved in fearful thoughts, analyzing, labeling them, reminiscing and following them we can get caught in those energies and circle there. As a detached observer of the feelings, the feelings will dissipate gradually. You are releasing the mental/emotional energies. And this is what we want when those energies are coarse and dampening. 

It happens to us all the time. I will start to feel something that’s just off. And I become aware of it, emotionally. Resentment is a very subtle one! I am very much tempted to go into it, and dwell there, analyzing, questioning, connecting the dots so to speak, then labeling it. Pretty soon I realize I’m circling in those energies, powering more of the same! 

That’s when I pause and have some self-respect, taking a deep breath, relaxing and contact Universal Life Energy. The energies start to disperse. I focus on gratitude, sincerely feeling it in my heart and return to sanity. Then I can see and experience all the beauty and love in Life. 

There are other simple, yet effective ways: Ways to go beyond ordinary thinking – Companion lesson to Mental Vibrations in Advanced Teachings in Science of Being.

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

Photo by rizknas on Pexels.com

Consider …… if we feel we are sacrificing something good for the better good or for wealth and moneythen 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.”

Eugene Fersen, Lesson 25 of Science of Being Lessons, pages 630-631.  


Unlocking your True Self

Photo by Monstera on Pexels.com

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!

“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.”

Life changing!

Of all the advice we can ever be given in this lifetime there is none more potent and life changing than…. to be in continually contact with the Great Field of Universal Life Energy.

Star exercise

That and consciously use the qualities of Universal Life Energy – Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love – in all that you do. This is how we take control of our life and create our own happiness!

We attract….

PhotoPSLB 2021

Just relax and trust the Great Law that things always work out for you. That attitude of Trust relaxes the mind and will allow answers.

The Law is above all Loving ….. so even when we initially may be in a wanting, desiring mode, when we relax and Trust that things will work out, then we allow ourselves to consciously hear intuition ….. we attract …. intuition and inspiration from our Higher Self, which is connected to Universal Mind.

“There can be no compromise with Love.”

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

Photo by Mohan Reddy on Pexels.com

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

Photo by rizknas on Pexels.com

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.

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.

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.

Sometimes the bullsh’t gets to us: How to recover

Sometimes the stress of the bullsh’t gets to us, and in trying to defend or protect ourselves we explode! We get mad, scared, worried.

So what to do? So how can we consciously continue on our spiritual journey and feel good about ourselves?

Remember we’re human. It happens to us all. And a downfall into anger, fear, worry, resentment can be a wake-up call if we are aware.

Every experience is part of our spiritual journey, including our outburst or downfall! Every experience is an opportunity to refine ourselves. To find the tenderness of our heart and wisdom of our mind.

A brave heart faces challenges, faces ourselves. Even runs right into it with eyes, mind and heart wide open! So next time – if you loose it try these simple steps …

1. PAUSE AND TAKE A DEEP BREATH.

Focusing on your breath is changing your mind already!

2. THEN MOVE YOUR BODY, WALK.

Like freezing in fear, if you freeze your body, it can also mean freezing your mind. Moving your body also gives your hormones time to disperse. And better yet, it gives you an opportunity to walk into self-awareness.

3.  BE CONSCIOUS; YOU ARE A FREE BEING AND NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU ANGRY OR AFRAID!

 You are beautiful! Beautiful! Deny anger, fear, worry as having any power over you.

We play the blame game; blaming others and emotional contagion, the kids, or the situation for our stressed condition. Which in itself is a self-defeatist attitude!

The more you are tempted to assign blame then the greater the emphasis you, your soul, has placed on the lesson and opportunity to remember your inner beauty and natural state of calm!! 

Emotional challenges can be changed into beautiful opportunities to know your true nature.

4. LET IT GO..LET IT GO…LET IT GO!

Be conscious that low-frequency emotions of anger, impatience, resentment and hatred are only temporary urges of the ego and the sooner you step back from them the sooner you return to the moment and its positive potential.

5. RELAX AND FOCUS ON SILENCE.

Inner calm, quiet, inner peace is your natural state. Relaxation and Silence can bring you back to the beauty of the moment. 

6. MAKE THE MENTAL CONTACT WITH UNIVERSAL LIFE ENERGY (CHI, PRANA). 

Let It help you. You are unifying yourself with the harmonizing energy of the Universe and Great Principle, increasing your own inner Light and Love.

7. CENTER YOURSELF IN YOUR SPIRITUAL HEART.

Find within yourself personal love and unconditional Love. Tenderly touch your heart. Feel the love there, within. Start to gently radiate Love from the tenderness of your Heart.

Love is your only true protection, source of strength and wisdom. When others are being disrespectful, remember that they also experience confusion, ignorance, and fear.

It happens to us all

I have been amazed at the results of using the 7 steps above! And even more amazingly is how others can respond. Even though they may not be conscious of what has happened or why, they usually change their attitude too!

The deeper we fall into the dark hole of the ego the greater the lessons for all concerned!

As a parent or guardian for children that temporary loose it, I recommend a wonderful book for helpful guidance: The Conscious Parent by Dr Shefali Tsabary.

You are courageous! Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is to continue. To get up and try again!

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
