Trust the Great Principle, and you are trusting the good in You. A happy shift of our self concept can occur when we are willing to trust the Absolute.
When we perceive concepts of fear and guilt remember we see them so that we might release them and rise above into gratitude, appreciation and gentle Love.

When we make many things in our life with our human will and ego they eventually crumble. They are temporary in the human perspective. Cakes crumble, plans crumble, even the Wall of China crumbles.
But when we co-create with the will of The Eternal we are in accord with The Law of Life and all the other qualities of Spirit. Co-creating with the Eternal means our co-creations are eternal too.
Since we don’t know the Eternal or our Real Self, we don’t know how to co-create with the Eternal. Yet, we have the same qualities within us that we perceive as: Life, Mind, Law and Love and we can express those in a balanced manner.
Thus, we have the opportunity in our human life to begin to express our eternal qualities by extending enthusiasm, sharing wisdom and true perception, and expressing sincere caring and love to others.
As we express the FourSquare, we are aligning with the creativity of the Eternal. We honor others as the Eternal does, and since we are One, we honor ourselves.

We do have real strength that is eternal and the only thing that we can take with us when we transition from this plane to the Beyond.
Our real strength is our real character and what we’re an extension of – Source.
We all can build our Strength in this earthly life now by building our human character in the same qualities of Source, Spirit, preceived as the FourSquare: Power, Intelligence, Law, and Love in a balanced manner.
We relate to and build the Power of our character through physical and mental contact with Universal Life Energy, Spirit, by simply pausing, cupping up our hands, going into Silence and feeling It. Plus, through daily practice of the Star Exercise and Mental Contact.
We relate to and build Strength by being wise and law abiding.
We relate to and build Strength through our Heart by being gentle, kind and loving.
Every moment is an opportunity to build, relate and remember.

We all experience suffering because it is part of being human. And when we see others suffering we can become very sympathetic.
But when we are sympathetic for suffering and sorrow the ego is sharing in suffering and sorrow, adding to it. Sympathy weakens us. Plus, the ego uses it to attack via judgement because of guilt and fear in perpetuating the past.
Sorrow and grief can feel overwhelming because of the ego’s sense of loss and belief in the source of happiness being outside of oneself, rather than from within.
If we are tempted to feel sympathy consider recognizing that temptation without resistance. It’s temporary. Be willing to surrender and release the temptation, rising above it into gratitude and gentleness, your genuine condition.
Be compassionate and extend this love and gentleness from within to those that are in sorrow and suffering, seeing them as beautiful souls.
Recognize them and ourselves as One with Spirit and that happiness and Peace are our natural states. We honor them and ourselves.
Also consider relating to the Strength of Source via the Mental Contact and by extending the Loving Universal Radiance to them and all of us:

If we blame others for problems we are also blaming ourselves. We identify ourselves with blame and traits may manifest as guilt, self-righteousness and resentment.
We make mind conflicted, troubled, because we deny the Light of Spirit that we are.
Yet, we can consciously choose to build to full unity with Spirit by manifesting the qualities of Spirit in our life as Enthusiasm, Intelligence, Truthfulness, and Lovingness in a balanced manner.
The Great Principle, Source constantly Loves Unconditionally, but we have fallen asleep to Love mentally and dream the dream of ego and its traits without knowing our Real Self.
Now is our opportunity!

When we justify egotistical thoughts and feelings of guilt, anxiety and fear we are making them reality for us.
The subconscious ego believes in what it has justified and rejects any mental recognition of Truth about it.
If you are tempted to believe the ego’s anxiety, guilt, or resentment you have the ability to recognize these unhelpful traits by the uneasy feelings they incur and redirect your thinking.
Recognition of the temptation is the Power of Truth in Mind that You are. And Truth is One with All Power, The Eternal Source.
With your free will You also have the ability to redirect your thinking. Choose calmness by deliberately taking some deep, slow breathes and pausing in the silence in-between those breathes.
You are aligning with Universal Life Energy, Source, and you can feel It.
Declarations of Truth can help you further align with what You are, like:
“I am an extension of Eternal Source, indissolubly connected and One, manifesting all the same qualities of Power, Intelligence, Law and Love.”

We tend to forget many things, like where we put our keys, to charge our phone, and to show up to appointments.
Forgetfulness is a trait of the subconscious ego, yet the subconscious retains and buries everything only to return to consciousness in an increased and usually unrecognizable state.
Sooner or later, every thought attitude and behavior will return to us enacting the mutual Law of Cause and Effect and Law of Gender. These Laws are without compromise, being True to the Great Law, Source. It’s what we are also and a source of motivation.
A disgusted judgment of someone else may return later as a guilty conscious about something else. A gentle, loving smile for a stranger may return as an unexpected pay-it-forward kindness.
Plus, what you think returns to you, affecting your perception. Thoughts that attack others makes our perception fearful and confused about not only them, but ourselves also. And loving thoughts in appreciation and gratitude for others and situations creates opportunities to recognize the Power within You to Love All.
Thus, it is logical to be aware, conscious in the present moment and remember to manifest our FourSquare Soul qualities of Enthusiasm, Intelligence, Truth and Love.
With the gift of free will we can choose what to think, feel and behave.
The FourSquare is what You are. And You are remembering That now! Manifesting It in your life experiences builds your happiness into the Harmony of Spirit. It eventually becomes a choiceless response to all situations, with the help of The Great Principle.

“Remember that every thought returns to you soon or late, vastly increased, and that for every evil of wind you sow, you will inevitably reap the whirlwind.”
Eugene Fersen, The Science of Being, page 650 (loose leaf lessons).
“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!
