Freedom from Subconscious Enslavement

What’s Really Happening with Pain and Suffering, Part 6

humanity and suffering

Suffering Comes in many Forms

All of us suffer, but most of us do not even know that we suffer on a daily basis! Of course, we are aware of experiencing pain and suffering from illnesses and injuries. And, we are usually aware of  emotional suffering that flattens us with symptoms of loneliness or depression. 

However, we tend to be unconscious of experiencing  some of the more common mental and emotional sufferings like boredom, mental exhaustion, impatience, pride, greed and jealousy. They can grow  unnoticed and unchecked in the subconscious, then resurface, morphed into harsher forms of suffering. Even causing physical illness!  

Emotions like anger, hatred, worry, jealousy and greed can become habitual without us knowing it and dominate our personality, enslaving us! We can feel like a victim of injustice and tend to blame others or the situation, striking out in frustration, anger or  even violence. Riots start this way. 

The subconscious is a horrible burden that causes us to suffer.

What Can We Do?

Our destiny as humans is to align our personality with our Individuality and Soul. To release negative emotions and traits that enslave us and cause us to suffer. To be strong, free and happy.

To heal ourselves there must be Love. Yet, it starts by being conscious or mindful of love in the present moment. 

It stands to reason that when we consciously manifest love from our heart we are exercising True Power and fulfilling our destiny as a Soul. 

We build to Harmony and alleviate suffering moment by moment, day by day. From a conscious state we can release the emotional pain of traumatic experiences, fear, subconscious temptations and enslaving habits as discussed in this series by several methods. And, they work!

Our heart is the Seat of Love and Center of Attraction. The more we express love the more we are conscious of receiving it. The more we feel connected to everyone else in an aura of goodwill, caring and compassion. The more we feel connected to the Great Principle. 

We will as humans continue to be faced with challenges, yet with awareness of Love within us we can face those challenges bravely and without suffering from desires. 

And this is the amazing part about manifesting love from our heart, it not only helps alleviate our own suffering, but also helps all humanity. They pass it on and so it circles!

In that intent, a new exercise as been added in which we activate our spiritual heart to help ourselves and the world:

Radiant Heart Exercise

With the help of the Great Law a corresponding practice will also be added in the near future: Conscious Heart Practice! 

We become a world of helping hands and hearts!

Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“We are to work, not only for our own improvement, but for the whole of Humanity. If we help one, it benefits all.”

Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Volume 1, page 364.

What They’re Not Telling, Part 1

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Liberating Your Soul

 

Life Soul Statements

When newborns come into this world you can see a certain look in their eyes. Newborns always look wise to me, like they know something they’re not telling. Although they are not talking, they make a lot of big, deep Soul statements. They are great teachers for us if we choose to understand and read their analogy. 

newborn soul quality of life

Creative Life 

Newborns bring out the best in most of us because their very presence draws out love from within us. They create an opportunity for us to know unconditional love. And, that is a great gift because knowing that we are capable of unconditional love is something we can express as compassion to help heal our self and the world.

Yet their most obvious (though often overlooked) gifts are the simplest demonstrations of creative Life that are soul statements. Those soul statements remind us of our own soul gifts:

  • A newborn’s very presence is a great gift of Divine Creative Life. Creativity is a quality of the Eternal and our Soul and newborns are a living example of our own gift of creativity. 

When I was young I was very creative and it made me happy to create drawings and wonderful dirt roadways for my matchbox cars. As we age we tend to forget the joys of creativity which has effected the quantity and quality of our happiness and overall condition.

Consider infusing some type of constructive creativity in your life, even if it is making dirt roads for your kids matchbox cars to increase your happiness! 

  • A newborn may not be able to tell us what life is all about, but we can see it in their analogy. A newborn’s purpose is simply to live. They are making the most of their life in the moment, doing the right thing in the moment.

They are Powerful force in the Universe and as harmonious Souls help strengthen the goodwill and movement for cooperation in this world! Even if their life is very short, and it sometime happens, it has purpose. One purpose may be to help us remember how precious life is, to be grateful and make the best time of it.

Consider infusing gratitude in your consciousness and being aware of this very moment to center yourself in your soul! 

  • Newborns scream enthusiasm, especially at their first breath. That thirst for life is a powerful emotion that empowers newborns to continue to live and progress. It comes from their heart and soul. Positive enthusiasm is an emotional boost which draws positive energy into their reality to better their condition. It’s true for us too. Enthusiasm lifts our spirits and that energy enriches our life. It draws more positive conditions into our reality through the Law of Attraction!

Consider infusing constructive enthusiasm in your realization to boost your positive energy!

That’s what life is all about in those first few moments and all the moments after: to simply live in the moment, to take life seriously, and to take responsibility for life facing it with enthusiasm. 

Yet, there’s more to life than seen in those first few moments of a newborn and for us too because life is license for transformation!

Next week we will look at the Mind qualities expressed by newborns, Soul to Soul! Until then, consider this quote to reflect upon:

 “That is what is meant by living life, TO DO ONE’S DUTY ALWAYS AT THE PROPER TIME AND NEVER TO WORRY ABOUT THE RESULT. THE RESULT WILL COME RIGHT INEVITABLY IF WE ACT RIGHTLY.”

Thank you for going on  a spiritual journey with me, The Lightbearer Center and all those that are in pursuit of understanding our opportunities as humans and revealing a bit more Light of our Soul everyday. It helps us all.

There will be more studies  next year with the help of the Great Law, including entries about other Universal Laws that are factors in your emotions.

Although all the quotes at the end of the studies are wonderful to me, my favorite this moment is from Releasing False Beliefs About Yourself, Part 4. Until the New Year’s message consider that quote to reflect upon again: 

“Without our knowing it, Superconsiousness plays a more important role in our lives than subconsciousness because it is always watching us and reminding us when we make a mistake.”

What Not to Do, Part 3

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness

We’re Conditioned!

Sure, we were taught not to be impatient or loose our temper, but we do it anyway and get caught in these very habitual behaviors. We can’t seem to help our self.

ID-100238139

FreeDigitalPhotos.net, taoty

Continuing from the previous two post’s list of what not to do:

We’re Conditioned to Believe

6 – We’ve conditioned our self to believe negative egotistic behaviors like fear, worry, resentment and greed are part of standard human behavior and are acceptable rather than consciously releasing them and regaining our freedom!

In fact, we can live in ‘what not to do’ for so long that we think it is ‘what to do’!

7 – We are conditioned to obey an ‘authority’ without first using our own discrimination process and listening to our Superconscious.

8 – We think it’s okay to tell little white lies to save our self from embarrassment or someone else’s involvement.

9 – We want to be liked, admired, and known as a nice person, and therefore, we mold our self to that image, trying to please others.

Spirit of Love

That gentle voice of intuition telling us that something is wrong, a what not to do moment, is our consciousness tapping into Superconsciousness which is part of our Soul and Universal Mind guiding us.

If we ignore the guidance of our Higher Self we still have backup means to help us know the right thing to do. We can reason with purposeful discrimination we learned through experience, conditioning and education, but we still have a choice to take it or leave it. It’s like the aphorism: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink. 

Means of the Mind

Eventually, we must come to know for ourselves the way to harmony and happiness since we are responsible for ourselves. In a deeper understanding and wider view it is still following the guidance of our Higher Self because we are harmonizing our thinking and behavior. We come to release our grip on the ego and embrace our soul and true Being.

Ways of the World

We make our life the way it is. We must take responsibility for it and be courageous in the present moment and moments to come to help transform our self into a better condition.

We already know the right thing to do because we are part of Cosmic Mind, but we have temporarily forgotten that since we are experiencing a separatist, self-centered, egotistic mind. You loosen the grip of the subconscious ego every time you live in the present moment and enjoy now.

When we consciously work at it we eventually recognize what not to do and realize what to do.  Things like being conscious and accurate, making the best use of our time because it doesn’t come again, and being respectful and loving others unconditionally because they are just like us – beautiful Souls.

In Light and With Love, Portia SLB

Consider this quote to reflect upon:

“Subconsciousness is the shell which prevents the Living Spirit within from manifesting as powerfully as it should. When enough Rays of Truth pierce the subconsciousness, then subconsciousness will collapse like a balloon, and there will be no more subconsciousness.” 

                     Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 98.

What Not to Do, Part 2

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness

It Seems Justified!

As children we were expressly taught by our guardians what not to do for our own good. However, as adults most of us have fallen into some very detrimental behaviors that we learned unconsciously through observation and conditioning. Having unconsciously fallen into these patterns, we have to work at breaking their control over us by first becoming conscious of them.

First, be conscious!
First, be conscious!
(FreeDigitalPhotos.net, David Castillo Dominici)

We’ve Seen Others Do It….
And now we do it too!

1 – Like in the last post – we see people try to change someone else – that is definitely a what not to do because it can’t be done anyway.

Each of us are a powerhouse underneath this part of us we call personality, mind and body. We have to agree to change within our self first. The better route for everyone is to work on our own improvement and assist others that seek it.

2, 3, 4 – We definitely should not spend our time and effort thinking about what is beyond our immediate control, such as wasting time with regret over past mistakes or missed opportunities, or even worrying about the unknown future.

Let it go, otherwise you can get stuck in regret, guilt, and worry until it gets so bad it can make you mentally and physically sick. Instead, practice gratitude in the present and enjoy it as much as you can.

5+ – We repeatedly engage in negative things such as expressing impatience, being in a hurry, procrastinating and lazing around. Some more harmful ones are: lying, falling in a depression, losing our temper, negatively criticizing our self and others, and, fear of making a mistake.

These are all very habitual and self-centered, subconscious behaviors. When you are in it at the time they seem justified because of egotistic self-righteousness. Self-righteousness is one of the worst what not to do’s we experience!

FreeDigitalPhotos.net, Stuart Miles

Definitely What To Do!

We experience pain because the harmful energy of mindlessness we generate comes back and hits us like a ton of bricks. That is the power of Universal Mind and Love physically manifesting, but perverted by fearful thinking and powered by fearful emotions.

It takes courage to face the truth of egotistic behavior, yet you have all the power you need to rise above it. Consider being mindful, consciously aware of your thinking and motivation in order to release those harmful traits and emotions.

With a feeling of love rather than fear motivating you, you can live harmoniously in the Law of Cause and Effect with wondrous consequences!

In Light and With Love, Portia SLB

 

We will conclude this series with more What Not to Do in our next post, including ways to whole heartedly embrace what to do! Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“To be Spiritual means to do the right thing, without thinking of being Spiritual. As our understanding grows, our sense of right grows also.”

Simple Methods to Be Happier, Part 2

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness

Any negativity we experience, like emotional outbursts or physical problems, is of our own creation. We created that negativity with the power of Universal Love and Mind, but perverted it – turned it upside down in our thinking and feelings (emotions) – thus we perceive it as negativity. When we let this perversion dominate our thinking, feelings and actions, it gets in the way of our happiness. Therefore we have to work at being happy.

Here are 3 more simple ways to be happier:

 moss moment

Image: FreeDigitalPhotos.net, Sweet Crisis

1. Live in the present moment

When we live in the present moment we are raising our consciousness to a higher mental level because we are releasing our grip on constant human thinking, or what some call monkey chatter. What most of us consider normal thinking is predominately lingering in the subconscious where we habitually think about the future or past, and it cycles round and round.

Have you ever gotten a song stuck in your head? Or incessantly think about an incident in the past and do instant replays trying to figure it out? Or a problem you’re trying to work out? Or make plans for the future in the next few minutes, in a day or longer, then go over (and over) them? That’s the habitual monkey chatter that keeps you so busy there’s no room for appreciation of the moment and your happiness.

You may ask, just how do I live in the present moment?

Participate in the present and give it your full attention; mentally pause and watch the material world you are in at the moment. Focuse your attention on your body and the surrounding area. Become aware of your breathing and sensation perceptions of sight, sound, taste, touch and smell. You are intently observing, being silent inside.

You can practice this in your normal daily routines like when you stir your coffee, or even this very moment. Expand your awareness. You will come to notice there is no monkey chatter! And, little by little, you will come to know that you are part of something greater than yourself as you get a glimpse of The Unlimited!

Also watch the thinker within yourself.

Observe yourself thinking from a calmer and more understanding place, a higher mental consciousness. It’s like you are outside of yourself and watching your thinking process. It is especially helpful because you will come to watch your discrimination process before you manifest a thought by speaking or acting. And, more importantly, you become conscious of your motivation.

As previously discussed in the last post, when we choose to be motivated by love rather than fear, we are happier. And with the help of the Great Principle, we come closer to Universal Mind and know it is only motivated by Universal Love!

2. Listen to your Higher Self.

We are in contact with our superconscious, or Higher Self, through intuition and inspiration. It is our inner guiding spirit and connection to Cosmic Mind which is one with Divine Love! Therefore, listen to that calm, peaceful voice of intuition especially when we are aware and in the moment, because it will guide us to do the right thing. The more we listen, do the right thing and are grateful, the more intuition we receive!

If we do the wrong thing then our conscience hurts. Yet, we can consciously exercise our power of what Lightbearers call FourSquare discrimination – which is balanced in enthusiasm, wisdom, truth and love.

When we do the right thing, the balanced, harmonious choice, we are creating conditions for our own happiness.

 3. Be compassionate.

Compassion is not only being empathetic for others and conditions, it also encompasses doing something to help improve the situation with a purpose motivated by Love. It is that feeling of compassion that brings our soul to the surface of our consciousness, because love takes us out of the self-centeredness we all experience.

When we do something to help others and they become happier, it also makes us and others happier. It spreads. Therefore, consider giving of yourself, your time and effort, to help others and make the world a better place by volunteering or doing something kind for someone else.

Help a friend, be a friend, tutor a child, make deliveries for Meals on Wheels, make donations to those in need, there are as many ways as you can think of.

Being conscious of being in the moment helps us relate to Universal Love in our heart and that Love motivates us to be kind and considerate – happiness all around!

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Next week will be the final part of this series and we will list 3 more ways to boost your happiness, with the help of the Great Law. Until then, consider enacting some methods for a happier life and reflecting on this quote:

“We are so centered in our selves that we forget to be normal. We bury our own happiness. We should work out within ourselves, the qualities which will take us out of our present limitations. The moment the qualities are developed, in that moment the person will be lifted into something better.”

Eugene Fersen,  Advanced Teachings in Science of Being Volume II,  p. 132.

Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself, Part 2

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Liberating Your Soul

 

It May not be Pretty

A spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart because it can mean a great deal of work to know both the personal, human traits and the individual, spiritual aspects of yourself. Knowledge of the human, personal part is not always pretty, yet it is essential in order to release any part of it that may be holding you back from the success and happiness that is your natural right as a soul.

ID-10028011

Your Higher Self does not impose itself on You. You must be silent and listen for your Inner Voice of intuition with an awareness of Unity.

 
Self-analysis can reveal both what we consider good and bad. One of the easiest ways to exercise self-analysis is to be conscious of the way you respond or react to people you have a relationship with or those you have just met, even in passing.

Those responses that are harmonious are the ones to embrace as they carry you further on your spiritual journey, while those that are not quite there yet could use an attitude adjustment, because those are the ones that can drag you down and cause you pain!

 Pain is the teacher, while your intuition is your liberator – when you listen to it!

Notice your thoughts and feelings when you interact with someone; that is, be conscious and aware of living in the moment.

You may feel justified for a resentful, jealous, guilty or impatient attitude towards someone because your egotistic beliefs are pulling you down. Yet, it is your Higher Self, your superconscious, that inspires you to consciously recognize false beliefs in order to release them. 

Once you understand that you were tempted by self-righteousness beliefs, consider refining your conscious self-analysis using the qualities of the FourSquare to pinpoint the problem. The qualities of Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love are standard to press into judgment as you listen to the inner knowing and intuition of your Higher Self.

I start with questions like:

  • Am I feeling compatible and drawn to this person, or am I feeling uneasy and put off? Though that’s usually an easy question to answer, I’m also keenly aware that those questions do not get even near to useful self-analysis. I go further.
  • Am I feeling critical, spotting shortcomings or feeling congenial? Why? Then further.
  • Am I conscious of being motivated by fear or love? That’s the big question!

When I am sincere and silent in my spiritual purpose and discover that I am being motivated by fear then I continue in the examination.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

We’ll go deeper with more FourSquare questions and steps to unveil your Soul by releasing hurtful traits next time, with the help of the Great Law!

In the mean time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“What you call Good is also an effect, brought about by attuning yourself to the Law and working in harmony with it.” 

 Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, p. 155.
