You created this moment

water lilly blue You have created

Each of us are in a personal transformation process of discovering and revealing our Real Self and soul. We are in a creative process – we create our reality  which is a reflection of our original spiritual power of creativity. But we repress  or deny that power of creativity or use it to cause us to be distracted or to misdirect it in negative creations and self-images that cause us to suffer.

We believe we are not smart enough, rich enough, thin enough, fit enough, witty enough, beautiful enough, educated enough. We feel lonely, depressed, worried, left out. Thinking and believing false assumptions until they become our self-concept and identity. We can feel justified for jealousy, hatred, and even take offense against others. These are our creations that cause us to suffer. 

We will reap the effects of our thought, emotions and actions – and it will manifest in our life.

Create your happiness

We create a more harmonious, happy life with positive energy – positive thoughts, emotions, and of course, behaviors and actions. It all starts with our attitude!

Here are some simple ways to create a happier life for yourself, which will touch others also: 

  1. Approach everything as being an opportunity to grow and learn the lesson of love, even during the most trying of times. 

  2. Be conscious and mindful of the watcher of the thinker! Detach from negative thoughts and emotions. 

  3. Be grateful for your opportunity of life and to have come this far.

  4. Listen to your intuition and follow through on the guidance.

  5. Express goodwill, kindness, caring and love from the tenderness of your heart to everyone, including yourself. 

  6. Contact Universal Life Energy to energize and harmonize yourself.

  7. Mentally and emotionally connect to the Eternal with Declarations of Truth just before falling asleep. I am statements like: I am One with the Absolute, All Power, All Wisdom, All Truth, All Love and All Beings.  

  8. Daily practice spiritual exercises, such as, Relaxation and Silence, meditation. 

  9. Create something everyday – like when you were happy and in the moment creating as a child – art, cooking, writing, imaginative beauty – the ways are unlimited! Listen to your Higher Self.

  10. Smile!

Mindful in Nature: Power of Listening, Part 3

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Mindfulness, World & Self Development: Terrorism

The Trees Sing

The leaves stir, moved by a gentle breeze,

Listen! There’s a voice of silence in-between,

The trees sing, as the breeze weaves the stories.

We are inspired by beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We look up into the night sky at the moon, stars and Milk Way and are amazed at the beauty and wonder of it. We are getting a glimpse of the Infinite and it inspires us.

Communing with Nature

By being in nature, mindful and consciously aware we are communing with All that is, the Great All. We commune through vibration, Universal Life Energy, chi. Every cell, every fiber, every mental and emotional frequency of our being resonances with Universal Life Energy in nature and it harmonizes us. In nature we naturally synchronize with the earth energies, reestablishing balance between our auric field and earth energies. Our emotional and mental vibrations rises. We are feeding our soul. Healing ourselves. 

And as we  resonant, we can gain access to the wisdom in nature.  Nature has a silent voice. And, we can hear it when we are quiet inside, mindful, open and receptive. How much we can hear is a matter of our state of consciousness. 

Being quiet and mindful, we can get inspirations through our Higher Self. It may be a mental voice, colors, music, visions, or understanding. 

We are interconnected with all natural life in its many varied forms. We can feel the energy and the way it effects us. For example, different crystals have different vibrations and frequencies.

Hold different crystals in your hand or to your ‘third eye’ and feel the different frequencies, the way it makes you feel or how it opens a door to your awareness.

Meditate under a tree and you may gain access to the tree consciousness.

The stream babbles, has many experiences, and you can get an impression of them.

The spirit of the mountain speaks and has great wisdom that relates to us. Listen.

A natural life

We can learn much from nature. The mountains, seas, plants and animals are not burdened by beliefs, religions and superstitions that condition us and separate us. They live a more natural life and in harmony with earth. They benefit from the strength, wisdom and growth of each other. And, only until very near the end of their earthly cycle do they begin to decline in strength and beauty.

 Connecting with Nature

Nature is the very air we breathe. The warmth of sunshine on our face. The beating of our heart.

Everyday one of the first things I do in the morning, weather permitting, is to go outside and raise my hands, my head and mind to lookup within to the Universe and open myself to the Great Father and Mother Nature. I consciously contact Universal Life Energy and open myself to receive It, mindful and return it according to Universal Law.

We commune. I am grateful. Love is close at hand.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Your insights and inspirations are appreciated and can add to the meeting of minds!

Mysterious Sunset

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Butterfly Wisdom: Poetry, Truisms,....

mysterious sunset

Darkness approached as he swam for the shore,
and the mysterious sunset.
He didn’t know what he was getting into
but he knew it had to be better than swimming around in the dark.
The dark, the dark why am I so afraid of this approaching dark?
He was always questioning himself like that,
but it was for a good reason.
He reminded himself,
My Inner Guide will always answer when I am willing to listen.
But not always in the way he had expected.
The answer came this time too, short and simple:
There is always Light.

He nodded to himself as a thank you to his Inner Guide.
And, with his heart full of trust in an even higher Source
He stepped upon the shore ready to continue on his journey.
Confident, though cautious and facing the unknown future,
he said, “With the help of the Great Law I am brave and I will continue.”

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Your experiences and comments are welcomed. Remember your Higher Self and soul never hesitates.

Ocean of Infinite Power and Harmony

As the sun sets on the horizon it seems to happen very slowly.
The same is true of our life.
Our life seems to pass by slowly day by day, season by season, year by year.
But, before we know it we are in the sunset of our life –
and we have the opportunity to stop
and reflect on the many sunsets we’ve experienced
to express gratitude,
for walking softly in nature,
for breathing in the air,
for feeling Universal Energy through the sun, the moon and stars
for the daily glimpses of happiness and peace between all the stress;
for experiencing silence in-between all the noise;
for listening to our Higher Self;
for Friends that shared Truth,
for knowing the truth of our self;
for being loved by the one and unknown others,
for knowing we can love ourselves,
for loving one and further,
for this life’s wonderful, spiritual journey!

It’s always an opportunity to reflect and ask ourselves do we experience the GREATEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL MANIFESTATION OF LOVE?

“Whenever we love unselfishly, not from our own personal little self, but from the Great Self, then that ocean of Infinite Power and Harmony is immediately behind us in its GREATEST, MOST BEAUTIFUL MANIFESTATION OF LOVE –  the manifestation which is last and yet is first because it is the most important, and because it is  THE GREAT PRINCIPLE, THE ABSOLUTE.

The Seasons of Our Life

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Butterfly Wisdom: Poetry, Truisms,....

“The seasons of our life are different units of life, and each opportunity carries with itself the different seasons, they are indissolubly connected one with another. 
In the Summer there is opportunity to increase the creation; in the Fall there is opportunity to gather the creation, and in the Winter is the opportunity to spend properly that, which as be gathered. 
Now this is Life and how lovely and how interesting it is according to the Four Seasons.”    Eugene Fersen

I’ve been meditating a bit about life and death and am grateful that I have made it thus far in my life, age wise and experience wise, etc. I’m now more conscious of the seasons of my life having gained some perspective and insights. I am coming to the peace of feeling that death will be another step in life and a joyous time, with the help of the Great Principle.  

In the hope You find Love close at hand in every season of your life, Portia SLB

Living a Conscious Heart

by Circlelightbearer, posted in World & Self Development: Terrorism, ....

Every moment we are conscious of some quality of love, it heals ourselves and the world. Living a Conscious Heart is being mentally conscious of the qualities our innate, unconditional Love and manifesting it in our life. While we are at work, doing errands, at home, anywhere. 

Though we may still have challenges, because we all do, the spiritual practice of living conscious heart helps us have the courage to face them head on with confidence and peace within ourselves.

We refine ourselves and all humanity. 

Enjoy the Moment

Consider these ways to be more conscious of living unconditional love in your life:

 1. Consciously think well of others

Find the beauty and see the good in others. Focus on their positive qualities rather than complaining or gossiping about them. And, if the opportunity arises express appreciation for them.

That does not mean that we are ignorant of negative traits or support them, rather we are encouraging their positive qualities and ours. 

This sounds so simple and it is, but it is something we don’t normally do! We forget to consciously appreciate others. 

Start with those closest to us first like your partners, children, parents. Widen the circle to include acquaintances, then those in your neighborhood, and others you many not even know as in passing. And wider still, to include all humanity and all earthlings.

2. Hope the best for others

Genuinely hope the best for others; that they find happiness, health, success and inner peace. Even those that we consider difficult!

We each have to make our own efforts for happiness and peace, and we can not make it happen for others even in small ways unless they agree to it. Yet, by sincerely hoping happiness for them we are opening ourselves to manifest opportunities for love and compassion for ourselves and the world.

Start with those closest to us first like our partners, children, parents then widen your awareness. 

3. Do acts of kindness

Compassion means love in action. So do acts of kindness. For those closest to you first, and to those you consider strangers. Offer your help; they can always refuse it!

Especially unexpected acts of kindness can warm a person’s heart. What may be considered small things like giving a person your place in line or offering a person a dollar for something like a tip at the airport when they suddenly find they are short in cash.

Acts of kindness propagate! I’ve seen it happen! Though I didn’t know the origin of it, I knew it is a pay it forward type of thing when I experienced it! 

4. Radiate the Light of Love & Universal Life Energy

What we all really want is to know Love, to be loved and to be loving, therefore be conscious of your goodwill for others. 

When you are standing in line, sitting in traffic, being served in a restaurant have the intent to consciously radiate love from the tenderness of your heart. Send those around you Universal Energy and Light of Love without using your own will as to how you think others should be. Rather feel loving and generously radiate Universal Life Energy from your heart impersonally.

Consider practicing an exercise like the Radiant Heart to send that Energy and Love to the world unconditionally. 

5. Be conscious of your motivations

Whenever you are tempted to jump into a negative emotions like anger, recognize it for what it is – a temporary temptation. We can ask ourselves a simply question: Am  I motivated by love or fear?  

Release the temptation and recognize your tender and loving heart within. Be grateful that you are conscious; it is your Higher Self helping you recognize that you are out of alignment with the Real Self and soul. Then act being motivated by tenderness, goodwill, kindness, consideration. 

6. Be sincere

Be honest and choose your words wisely, accurately reflecting your intent. Truth is sincere, and so is Love.

Sincerity is the key that opens the door to Love within us because of the power of emotion to change our life! That feeling of sincerity draws Love into our consciousness and heart, which will spread to others and the world.

 7. Express gratitude

When you are truly grateful you can feel the tenderness in your heart and this radiates out.

8. Be in the moment

Breathe deep, relax and be conscious! In this way we can consciously guard the entryway to our subconscious and reject negative energy from entering to grow into negative personality traits of the ego.

Consider meditating daily. We can connect with our Higher Self and receive inspirations and insights; most of all feel inner peace and joy because we are getting a glimpse of the Source within. 

9. Trust in the Great Principle

Remember that you are not alone. We are One with the Universe and the Strength, Intelligence, Law, Love, Spirit of IT, the Source. That remembrance helps us open to trust the abundance and protection in the Universal Laws of Justice and Love. The Great Principle is always working to help us unfold and align with Universal Harmony. We can have faith in IT.

10. Smile!

Through your genuine smile others receive the unconditional love that you feel in your heart. A smile that is motivated by love is a precious gift! And, genuine smiles are contagious!

When one of us becomes conscious of  that spark of Love and compassion within us it can ignite Love and compassion in someone else. Then they can pass it on too. Which is amazing!

And, even more amazing – when we are conscious of beauty and love in others we are becoming more conscious of the beauty and love within ourselves. And, so it circles.

We become a world of helping hands and hearts!

In the hope You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB

then that’s the point – to kill off negative traits. It’s a good thing!

Your Higher Self does not impose itself on You.
You must be silent and listen for your Inner Voice

On which ever road you choose, human or spiritual, you will face temptation

because it is something humanly created in our condition.

I am grateful for all of the help and inspirations I have received from many sources, yet the One Source,  for the start of this site and its continuation. 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.

May You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB

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.”

Simple Methods to Be Happier, Part 3

by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Mindfulness

As humans we collectively experience unease and perpetuate unhappiness, even endangering ourselves, but there are some very realistic ways to turn this trend around. More than ever, there is an awakening in the world of our ability and opportunity to improve our condition, our happiness and our success by changing our concept of this very moment in terms of spiritual awareness. It’s not about religion or beliefs. It’s about changing our mind and changing our behaviors in the present moment to help us make those improvements. Being human we still let the ego dominate our thinking and experience complications and emotional issues. Change starts with one person reconnecting with their inner happiness and Real Self, which helps all the rest of us do the same. 

Here are 3 more ways to boost your happiness now.

1. Release false beliefs about yourself. Negative ego traits, like anger, jealousy, resentment, and hatred, hurt. They not only hurt you, they hurt others. They are not part of the Real You, and the sooner you release them the happier you will be. Align with your Soul Powers, like enthusiasm, conscious awareness, sincerity and love. Read more in this website about Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself.  

2. Balance your life. When we take care of our self it helps everyone else too, especially our family. As an individual – You are body, mind, emotions and spirit, and you will be healthier and happier when you balance those in your activities.

*BODY: Exercise your body through sports, walking or something you enjoy, because it does great things like helping reduce stress. Get  enough sleep and eat balanced meals. Do what is appropriate for your health. You’ll feel better. 

**MIND: Ignorance is the main reason we are in the condition we are in now! That, along with pride and impatience. Strive to know Yourself; the Lightbearers’ Motto is: ‘Know thyself and thou shalt know All.’ All the Great Teachers of humanity have said the same thing. You are working on that right now! 

***EMOTIONS: Learn to appreciate beauty in the arts, nature and people – that is using the mind and heart! Release false beliefs about yourself and instead focus on your inner divine qualities like compassion, caring and goodwill. 

****SPIRIT: Most importantly, give attention each day to your spiritual nature and bring it to the surface of your thinking and activities. Consider daily meditation for 20 minutes because it can enhance your mindful awareness and help you relate to your True Self.

3. Foster your conscious connection with the Great Principle. Start your day out optimistically by cultivating gratitude, and also end your day optimistically by strengthening your conscious connection with the Great Principle. Make a declaration of Truth and leave behind all the false beliefs and troubles you may have encountered during the day. For at least 3 weeks, just before falling asleep, mentally realize and feel your connection to the Great Principle and manifest it physically by softly saying something similar to:

 “I am Spirit and Matter, proceeding from and unceasingly connected to the Eternal, manifesting all the same Powers of Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love.  Thank you.”

We hope you enjoyed this series because each of the 9 methods can truly boost your happiness. They’ve worked for me, and they can work for you too!

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Next week we will be discussing What Not to Do! with the help of the Great Law. Until then, consider enacting some of the methods for a happier life and reflecting on this quote:

“… whenever we realize that we are a part of that One Life, we have then all the benefit of all the Forces and the Eternity of the One Life. But whenever we feel separate from that Life, then we lose our strength, and are at the mercy of circumstances, of fate; just as a little drop of water which is thrown out of the ocean and lies there alone on the sand … ” 

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 30.
