“Know yourself and you shall know all,” is an ancient spiritual teaching to aspire to.
We evolve through mind and being aware of what motivates us is key to our unfoldment into Spirit and Harmony.
Our motivation determines our attitudes and behaviors. And when we are motivated by our truest Self, by sincere gentleness, caring consideration we are building our own happiness because we are remembering our True Self.
It simple to begin….pause and become silent in-between breaths. Then just notice without judgement. thoughts and feelings as they surface to awareness.
Remember we are conditioned to react to the ego we experience and to the ego others experience. So if urged, motivated, to jump into egotistic resentment, revenge, or guilt …. choose to be what you already are….gentle, caring and compassionate.
As you continually practice this, it eventually surfaces as being no choice. Mind is not conflicted between choices, rather it is unified with gentle, caring, unconditional Love.
We believe in our human condition; mentally sleep, dreaming the ego. Yet we have the ability to awaken from the dream.
We can choose what already exists – Harmony. Pause, breathe and choose to realize the Silence in-between breaths. Or you can choose the Mental Contact with Harmony.
This is how we make opportunities for our own happiness. And when we realize Harmony within, it helps those around us, and indeed, the world!

When we judge another harshly we are blaming them and also attacking ourselves with guilt. It a trait of the ego, of insanity. And it is not beneficial, rather a weakness of character. Confusion, anger, anxiety and fear follows, which are harmful and delays inner happiness.
Meet everyone and every situation with gentleness, without judgement, which is a strength of character that frees mind from the ego.
Pause and enter silence, as experienced in-between breathes, with no thought.
And Peace can settle within us as we naturally release guilt and free Love to Be.
If we feel offended and must defend ourselves, then question if it comes from egotistical fear and guilt. Pause and become silent to consider that such burdens come to the surface of consciousness for us to become aware of, to release, and to rise above into Love and Peace.
Now is the opportunity to mentally embrace gratitude and emotionally rise into that feeling of Truth and into gentle Love.
All circumstances and conditions are beneficial for our spiritual unfoldment, especially those that we fear are demanding and may require sacrifice. Consider the opposite or polar of what the ego believes.

This #9 year numerically indicates the end of another cycle according to the Gregorian calendar.
2025 = 2 + 0 + 2 + 5 = 9
It also indicates new beginnings, because we are turning the corner into a new cycle, and even a new era for humanity, as we facilitate dynamic change and transition.
There may be many stops and starts during this #9 fiery, fast paced energy to complete humanitarian changes. But this is an opportunity to live up to a higher standard since 9 indicates growth with the energy to manifest world concept aspirations that have been developing over the previous years of this cycle and other cycles.
We will have to endeavor to keep our emotions on an even keel, impersonal and impartial since they may be tested. Keen discrimination will be greatly beneficial during breakthrough periods aimed to test utopian ideals for the brotherhood of mankind.
This is a time of changes and transition in which release of the past can be the seeds for optimistic social change. We may be tempted to wallow in the past but this is self-indulgent and destructive. We have the opportunity to let go and rise above placing blame and resentment in order to lift our self and humanity as a whole.
Being compassionate and forgiving will ensure productivity. When we forgive we release self destructive blame and guilt, freeing ourselves to Love.
Nine symbolizes a conscious spirit in the material world with an understanding of Universal oneness. It represents a doorway to a bigger view and deeper understanding of the dream we dream as spiritual beings in the human, egotistic world.
Have you ever had a dream that seemed so real that it wasn’t until you awoke that you knew all the experiences and feelings were a dream, even a nightmare? This year #9 will be an opportunity for awakening from the dream of the subconscious.
Through mind we evolve and progress towards full unity with what we are, Spirit. A change can occur when our mental perspective of the thoughts that flow through mind shift.
We feel thoughts and circle in them, yet we can rise above this habit and remember it is temporary and an illusionary condition of the ego that imprisons our Real Self and Spirit.
Since thoughts are temporary we can let them pass without feeling them, getting involved in them, without relating to them with stress and guilt. And let uplifting new thoughts enter consciousness to grow and help construct meaningful purposes with love and happiness for ourselves and all of humanity.
Release and forgiveness are key.
We transform ourselves as we release and forgive ourselves for mistakes and beliefs of separation from Source and each other. When we do our part to realize we are connected and one, The Great Law does It’s part.
Yet remember that we do not always welcome change even though we believe we do. And there are many of us that still slumber in the idea of duality and, “I’m right and you’re wrong.” So there may be high tensions and threats of world conflict because of self righteous desires for the world to be the way some want it to be.
Remember the subconscious fears, so use the Law of Polarity to think, realize, feel the opposite of fear …. Feel Unconditional Love and unity to help yourself and all of us. As a doorway, you can ask yourself if you think you are right and others wrong.
Harsh, fearful judgment always brings some type of negative effects, running the gamut of violence to health issues.

The 0 in between the two 2’ s intensifies the #2’s representations of cooperation or belief in duality and separation. We should consider balancing within ourselves a compelling sense of service to others with inner responsibility. We will need to develop cooperation with our Real FourSquare Self in order to accomplish goals.
Da Vinci’s man with disection
The #5 is symbolic of humanity, our five fingers, five senses and our spiritual journey manifesting our FourSquare powers leading to full unity as Spirit. Ever time we manifest the FourSquare we add 0’s to intensify our realization of unity with Spirit (#1) instead of the ego.
Five also symbolizes the need for discipline, self love, forgiveness and taking responsibility to free ourselves from the dominance and belief in the dream of the ego.
Remember the ego does not want to forgive, release and change. It wants to survive, dominate, and resist in fear of change. Discipline and commitment are required to change eons of subconscious habit.
Liberation is not only possible but already in the process once you understand the Truth about the dream of the ego and what you really are.
Science of Being, the textbook, contains “The Dream,” which is a beautiful allegory of our mental fall from Unity with Spirit to the ego’s dream of separation, duality and back. It is especially uplifting when projected aloud for all humanity, especially at the new year.
In the hope You find this an uplifting and joyful new year and all year long, PortiaSB
“We are in the Eternal and It is in us. It contains our physical, mental and emotional bodies, and our activities.”
Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings in Science of Being, Volume I, location 254 of 265 (Kindle location).
When I first heard my spiritual teacher say, “Santa Claus is a lie,” I was dazed and confused even though I knew it was true. I had been repeatedly programmed to believe he is real! But, the truth slowly sank into my conscious understanding. And I was finally freed of the illusion along with the accompanying stress, obligations and expectations. And I am so grateful.
Traditional lies and illusions can cause us to distrust our inner knowing and to feel guilty unless we take steps to expose and rise above them.
Traditional lies
During our childhood we are taught to blindly believe in certain traditions and that they are good even if we suspect something is off. And we often carry on the same traditions without considering the consequences.
The human mind is naive, especially when we are young. The ego’s desire to belong and not be left out is so strong that we blindly become ‘followers’ and stuck in serving the ego’s world.
Liberation comes through conscious awareness and Love
Until we consciously awaken, question, discriminate and listen to our inner Love and guidance, we will accept every belief, superstition and prejudice without discrimination, which can cause us to experience self-righteousness, anger, hatred and guilt.
Yet such feelings can help those of us on a conscious spiritual journey because we have the opportunity to ask ourselves as to why we feel these thoughts and can consciously choose to serve a Higher purpose rather than the ego.
Take it or leave it
We can expand our consciousness and open to the tenderness of our heart. And, the connection to our sacred heart center leads to answers; the true reasons back of emotional disturbances.
Such insights and inspirations are messages from your soul. And, we all have additional help, including from greater realms of Harmony and the Great Principle.
You can have new thoughts. Old thoughts can be replaced with new ones, more accurate ones. With insight you can change your perspective. And your experience of reality will radically change.
Truth or consequences
The way you respond to conditions in life determines the way you evolve. It determines your power, health, success and happiness. You can be conscious of creating in the Light of Love or circle unconsciously in the consequences of karma.
But, even the path of pain, stress and doubt can lead us through the lesson to love and compassion. When we’ve suffered enough we will look for the reason why and do something about it. But we can consciously choose not to think and circle in old beliefs. And as they leave new thoughts enter and we can move on.
Being free of a false belief releases you from expectations, obligations and the mass dream. A burden lifted off your back and opens you to being conscious of the Light of Love.
All lessons lead us to remember Love eventually,
which is the base of unconditional Love.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
“Let us lift our eyes from this increasing darkness to the pure Light of Knowledge, aflame with Love – that bright Star on the firmament of Life, which is heralding now to mankind, the Dawn of a New Day, the Day of Spiritual Regeneration, which is to bring to man lasting Justice, Peace and Happiness.”
Eugene Fersen
Consider watching a 3 minute video on the origin of Santa Claus:
Our earthly life is a great opportunity to learn about ourselves as individual humans, as communities, and as a global family. But most of all to remember what we are: Spiritual Beings; projections of the Absolute.
In our human life we can get befuddled with our busy lives ….. circle in our thinking …. get caught up in planning for the future, worrying about it or experience despair and guilt about the past. And when we feel our thoughts, it causes us to suffer emotionally.
Yet, this can be seen as a blessing because we can come to know the polarity of the human mind and have an insight that can set us free of the belief that we are our urges, thoughts and behaviors. Rather the essence of each of us Divine Harmony and Love. That we are the projection of the Eternal: All Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love.
Yet, we forget, but have continual opportunities to remember. We are here to remember to continually expand our consciousness and connect with our Spiritual Heart. That is to become conscious of Divine, unconditional Love. And to project Love in our earthly life here and now.
That seems to be the ultimate goal for us on earth doesn’t it?Otherwise what’s the point of all the suffering we cause ourselves?Why would anyone want to suffer? Unless they have some subconscious desire due to guilt?
As we focus on That which we are …. the more we blend our bodies, mind and emotions with That. And we can feel something physically in silence, that tingle of Universal Life Energy flowing into and through our bodies. That is what we are …. a projection of the Eternal …. an individualized projection.
And that is how we help ourselves, how we have a far richer and more peaceful life. And how we help all of us.

“People should realize their shortcomings and try to rise above them.”
Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Teachings by Eugene Fersen, Volume I, page 275.
During my early years of studying Science of Being, I remember my Spiritual Teacher helping a fellow student that was feeling so downtrodden, so hopeless that they couldn’t see a way out of the emotional dark hole they had dug for their self. Our Teacher bombarded them relentlessly with questions like, “How is it down there? What are you feeling? Do you want me to push you further down, so you can push off from the bottom?” There was no sympathy at all! That went on for a long while until they both started giggling like children!
It was an eye opener for me, and quite the adventure in understanding the spiritual teacher that we all have.
Our True Spiritual Teacher
As I observed our Spiritual Teacher above I knew that she was giving us the opportunity to learn how to do the same thing for ourselves: To be observant and completely honest and truthful with ourselves without holding on to fear and hurt. And as we release hurtful emotions, memories, and worries, we are able to rise in consciousness.
And that is the core of a Spiritual Teacher: to learn for ourselves how to build to our Strength, Freedom and Happiness. And that is the core of the Spiritual Teacher that each of us has within, our Higher Self.
Your Spiritual Teacher
The Spiritual Teacher and our Higher Self is caring, loving and empathetic, rather than sympathetic. Actually, there’s no sympathy at all because our Higher Self has no notes of sorrow, fear or anxiety. There’s Wisdom, Inspiration, Love and Joy.
Your Higher Self, your Spiritual Teacher within, guides you now. Your Higher Self does not impose or push with urges or desires. Those would be from the ego. Our Real Self is courageous, a dare and doer. Is optimistic and willing to observe the good, the bad and ugly without condemnation, rather with understanding and inspirations for transcendence.
Our Higher Self guides us with intuition, inspirations and synchronicity. Intuition and synchronicity happens all the time, but we are not always conscious of it. It’s our Higher Self guiding us, pointing the way on our path.
But it’s up to us to make use of it. Like the old euphemism, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.”
Our Higher Self, Spirit is projected into Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love, the FourSquare. All constructive powers to overcome destructive mistakes like greed, pride, blame, fear, worry.
There are several entries in this website sharing the releasing method like that above. It’s a simple but very effective method to rid yourself of so many destructive emotions like embarrassment, guilt, anger, anxiety and craving. I use it whenever I’m conscious of something bothering me. It’s a real adventure and Joy!
Have you experience distress and used this method?
a world of opportunity
My Higher Self has guided me to the teachings of Science of Being and they have become my spiritual path. I have become a stronger, wiser, and more loving person. It is a great honor and privilege to learn, experience and share the Knowledge aflame with Love.
Your Higher Self is close at hand, guiding You now through intuition, inspiration, and synchronicity. I encourage You be conscious, aware and flow in the opportunities your Inner Spiritual Teacher guides you to.
Ask questions, share experiences and Inspirations to encourage us all. Thank You.
In Light and With Love, PortiaSLB

When we face challenges like major illnesses or catastrophic events, it can become emotionally agonizing very quickly. And physically agonizing too. We just want to tighten up into a ball or fight like hell.
But when we address agony on the mental level with a higher energy, then we ripen the potential to heal any physical agony.
address the emotions
Our feeling of agony is the hurt of the subconscious ego. It’s a suffering. And this emotional suffering is what we must address. It appears difficult because of the ego’s attachments or aversions. If we try to escape the feelings with reasoning and logical thought it is ineffective; we start to circle trying to figure it out again. And willpower makes little headway either.
The ego believes in and identifies with the feeling of agony. It’s attached even in its aversion and fear. The ego holds on and thus we ball up in compliance, or angrily fight.
Subconsciousness believes that the source of happiness is external which brings up fear of loss …. loss of happiness and ultimately loss of life. To overcome the ego’s attachments we must be willing to relinquish its attachments and aversions on the mental level.
If we address sensation energies without circling in thought and worry, rather be aware in a higher level of consciousness, we can recognize feelings without harsh labeling and judgment,
From a higher level of consciousness –
Subconscious fears enter and accumulate in our solar plexus and lower chambers of our heart and grow unnoticed. But they usually resurface when we face challenges and can affect us negatively with agonizing emotion.
I’ve found we have to be brave and entirely honest with ourselves to get to a higher level of consciousness. This is a tried and true method:
Pause. Take some deep, slow breathes. Become silent within, and allow ourself to become consciously aware of the Universal Energy Field that we are one with. Mentally focus on feeling It. It is the energy catalyst for rising our consciousness and releasing the idea and thoughts of suffering.
Let the sensations of agonistic thoughts and feelings resurface without resistance or labeling. The ego values labels and identifies with agony, suffering, fear, guilt, shame, self-righteousness. Yet, when we are aware and conscious, one with the Universal Energy Field, we can surrender these.attachments. Release and let the sensations run out.
And we eventually come to a place of calm within.
From a place of calm Healing can occur
The spiritual endeavor is to Be a higher level of consciousness, One with Universal Life Energy, The Eternal.
And in calm awareness, we can come to realizing that our happiness has always been within us rather than the ego’s belief is it outside of us, in the world..And this is a transformation of consciousness; a healing; rising out of subconscious ego to higher levels of consciousness.
It is in higher level of consciousness, in higher Energies, the very qualities of Universal Life Energy and our own Being, that the potential for physical healing can also occur.
The spiritual practitioner is responsible for the effort of surrendering the ego and surrendering desire to control the outcome, rather than dictate the outcome.
It’s our opportunity to continue to hold a high level of conscious contact with the Life Energy of the Great Causeless Cause, called the Mental Contact in Science of Being. In the Mental Contact a higher level of consciousness one is aligning Mind with Love. They become as One within and the same One with The Great All.
The mental and physical healing will work according to Universal Law as natural course of unfolding manifestation.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
