A State of Mind
“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the foundation of our being.” Eugene Fersen
Even a novice photographer can capture the scenic beauty and power of Alaska on an iPad. And, there is more to it than meets the eye!
Summer doesn’t last long in Alaska, but it is beautiful, green with mild weather and swollen rivers and lakes from melting snow.
The states of water can be used to symbolize the states of mind.
Clear liquid water is in a state of fluidity and active movement, representing consciousness aware in the present moment.
Mind in the present moment is clear, calm and receptive. It better reflects our True, beautiful individual character and its unlimited quality, like the open sky.
However, if our mind is muddied and rippled by negative attitudes or harmful desires it symbolizes a troubled personality and life.
If mind is fixed, stubborn, opinionated without hope of change it is like ice, frozen like hell.
Water in a gaseous state represents the Higher, True Self. Pure Mind, a perfect complement to Divine Love. Our natural state. Beautiful.

“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the foundation of our being.” Eugene Fersen
It’s amazing how the beauty and power of Alaska can be captured on an iPad! Yet, it is also amazing that there is so much beauty in this world to enjoy. It out weights the dross. And, everything, everything – says something about our earthly condition. It speaks to us in deep and profound ways and all we have to do is be conscious and aware of it.
The Law of Analogy is such a powerful law to help us understand ourselves and of great benefit for those on a conscious spiritual journey. The law Itself is beautiful.
The different states of water can be used to symbolize the different states of mind. The liquid state is like the lively, discriminating consciousness, while the frozen state is like the fixed ideas, beliefs and habitual behavioral patterns of subconsciousness.
The subconscious freezes and imprisons the beauty and Love of Mind, dominating our emotions and behaviors with traits like irritability, worry, guilt or greed if we let it.
Being frozen is hell for us, because the Great Law says Life is constant vibration, change and gradual evolution.
Just like the way the sun can melt a 10,000 year old glacier in Glacier National Park so can unconditional Love of Universal Life Energy melt and change the frozen misconceptions of the subconscious.
We may think we don’t like change, but everything else about us says that we do. That’s an analogy that can help us be courageous in challenging situations!

Turn your life around and find the deeper purpose of mindfulness
Through millennia we have come to believe our mind and brain are the most important part of ourselves. Our intellect and our technological progress. But in the dark recesses of our mind we also think there’s something wrong with us. The subconscious ego dominates our thinking and keeps us habitually circling in the same patterns of confusion. We become trapped in our head. This is one of the reasons so many of us are practicing Silence and mindfulness – to help free us from the ego’s grip. Yet there is a deeper, more filling purpose to mindfulness that can turn our life around.
In our head
In the Silence of mindfulness we are still centering our mental energies in our head and brain, developing our mental awareness and receptivity. However, we are also opening to our Higher Self, Superconsciousness and intuition, mentally raising above the subconscious. We are becoming conscious of a vaster realm of awareness, developing the pineal (7th chakra) and pituitary (6th chakra) glands. Connecting with the awareness of our soul.
In mindfulness
In mindfulness and Silence we are also becoming more conscious of the tenderness of our heart. The calm, gentle feeling that brings a sense of peace. We are mentally opening to the deep emotions and wisdom of our heart. That tender spot that feels love for our spouse, our children, family and friends. That spot that holds us together in times of troubles and crises. That spot of Divine Love, compassion and unconditional love.
In our Scared Center
New research shows that the heart also contains brain cells. With the heart being the Seat of Love and Center of Attraction it is the spot of spiritual awareness; your most scared center and chamber of the Eternal. A spiritual consciousness.
Deeper purpose of mindfulness
This knowledge alone can change the way you think about your heart center and the 4th chakra. This can change the way you think about your mind, brain, 6th and 7th chakras. For the pineal and the pituitary (6th chakra) are parts of the brain that receives impressions from the heart.
The deeper purpose of mindfulness is to become conscious of the wisdom, the harmony of your heart. To become conscious of the reflection of the heart in your mind. In the 6th and 7th chakras. The pituitary and pineal.
The way the subconscious creates our life
In the human mental state we live dominated by the subconscious ego with fear and doubt. We live in that part of the mind that believes in the Law of Polarity as the Law of Duality in which everything comes in opposite pairs. Something great happens, but there is also something bad. And, in the Law of Rhythm in which we may experience great progress, but then we swing back down to almost where we started.
Living a conscious heart
Yet, when you live a conscious heart, you are mindful, in the moment you are conscious of your ability to create from your heart and love. Creating from the scared chamber of your heart means you are creating with your genders balanced. Mind and Love are balanced and in harmony.
From your heart, you are conscious of choosing to create your reality in the action of the Law of Cause and Effect, of karma with the harmony of your soul. The Law of Polarity and Law of Rhythm is the same as the Law of Unity or Harmony. When we experience something great we experience something good too. We continue to evolve in to greater freedom, strength and happiness.
That can turn you around. Completely. Change the way you see yourself, others and the world. Change the way you respond to challenges. Change the way you create your life.

“You may ask, but is not the mind in the brain? No, the brain is merely a switchboard for certain mental processes. It may seem stronger because the qualities are more concentrated. Nevertheless, the whole of our body has mind and soul interwoven in it.”
