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.

AWAKENING – A Dream
A Dream
Stone on my heart, heavy
with black underneath
No notice of twilight, deep
Cold and deserved frozen complete
Hands of time, still
with experience incomplete
Sweetness unravel memories, tear
Ice and immure darkness begin to retreat
Question forms on my lips, why
within light still burns
Smell a whisper of roses, sweet
Faint movement and beat
Do I dream, now?
Do I begin to feel?
Am I awakening? Hope.
Is that gentle love that I feel?

Facing fear Square on- The Power of Emotion to Change Your Life, Part 3
Facing fear Square on!
The Universe compassionately works to help us come into our soul and wholeness. Fearful emotions that are circling the globe is very stressful for everyone, yet there are simple steps to center yourself squarely in your soul’s power to help you confront every fear that can negatively impact not only the present, but also your future.

Emotions can be learned
We are conditioned to react emotionally to certain conditions like what we face in the world now. We’re taught to react with fear unconsciously through childhood experiences, in the media and in society. We even condition our self by transferring our emotional reactions from similar experiences of the past to the present.
If negative reactionary emotions are learned and conditioned, then it stands to reason that you can learn to respond to any situation positively.
STEPS to face fearful temptation Square on
1 – When you are faced with temptation to act on any negative feelings, like striking out from anxiety or anger or fall into despair, the first step is to take a deep breath, exhale and relax. Deep breathing evokes a relaxation response and release, so it will immediately adjust your attitude.
2 – Make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy to help You harmonize not only your mental energies, but also your emotional and physical.
3 – Look up within to raise your consciousness to observe ‘the thinker,’ synchronizing body, mind and emotions, bringing yourself into the present moment.
Observe your thinking in a detached state; without judgment or entanglement. But stay here long because we can easily start circling in the same troubling thoughts and emotions that trapped us in the first place!
4 – Then ask yourself the question: Am I coming from a place of fear or love?
If it is fear, then just let it pass you by. Release it and with a thought like, It was only a temporary temptation and illusion of the subconscious ego, and I am grateful to realize that. I am Strong, Wise, Sincere and Loving.
5 –Deny that any temptation of fearful thoughts or emotions have any power over you. Negate fear. Remember and realize that You are a law unto yourself on the mental plane!
The key is to feel sincere. Sincerity opens the door to your Soul heart and Real Love, calming the mind and emotions.
6 – Use your free will to choose to attract more high-frequency energy and focus your thoughts with uplifting energies like gratitude and appreciation. Further open your heart to feel Love.
These are the energies you want to engulf yourself in, spend time in – appreciation, gratitude, goodwill, consideration, respect and love. Appreciate those wonderful people, and situations in your life. Appreciate the air you breathe, the sunshine, the grass and trees. Even appreciate the beneficial things in your immediate environment. You know what is good in your life. Feel appreciation and love in your heart. You will be amazed at the results!
You are creating an uplifting mental/emotional state which will eventually manifest more benefits in your reality! All those energies attract more of the same energies through the Law of Attraction.
7 – You’ve worked to change your energies mentally and emotionally, but you’re also a physical being. Manifest a positive emotion physically in the moment. It may be a change in your body language, a smile, a kind word or helping others.
Moving can disperse hormonal chemicals like adrenaline, which is why some people jog or exercise, to help release stress.
You and Universal Power
I’ve used the above methods many, many times to release negative energy and center myself in authentic power of Love. I can definitely see patterns. Thank the Great Law the patterns are changing for the better.
Through sincerity and making the choice to come from a place of compassion and love emotionally, you can bring peace and happiness into your life and to those around you. You establish new neuron paths in the brain, and each time it will be easier to make the choices that are uplifting, wise, sincere and loving; that are FourSquare.
You have authentic Power and are stronger than any negative temptation because you are a powerful Soul.
In the hope that You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
“Analysis of Fear, its nature and causes, is one of the vital points in Mental Science, because in Fear is comprehended the entire problem of all the negative.”

This simple mind trick can make you do the opposite of what was intended!
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, hyena reality
When you hear, “Don’t look!” It’s like when Perseus was warned about Medusa’s snakes for hair that could turn a man to stone. It’s almost impossible not to look! Or when you hear someone say, “Don’t be afraid.” It’s like your heart drops and you’ve heard, “Be afraid, be very afraid!” It’s a subconscious mind trick.
The subconscious ego will take us emotionally and mentally on rides to places to support its own programming. It’s self-righteous and dislikes being bossed around because of fear. And it’s programmed to keep us mentally busy, chatty and inattentive in our thinking so we are constantly being entertained. We follow its trails of thoughts.
The subconscious is entertained by the primary word of the thought rather than the word not or n’t. The word not or n’t seems to disappear from our attention and we follow a familiar trail of thoughts from the primary word.
And we are all good with that until we start to consciously wake up.
When we start to wake up we realize it’s a challenge to become conscious and in the present moment. All of our past history, stories, beliefs and habits are like alluring trails that lead us to the familiar.
Yet there is a simple awakening practice. And this works when talking to yourself or when speaking with others.
Consciously choose the appropriate words as directives to the subconscious.
If the goal is to remember, rather than saying, “don’t forget,” say, “remember.”
When speaking to yourself, mentally swallow remember in order to program the subconscious to remember. This is using the Law of Gender, because you plant an idea in the subconscious to grow and return to the consciousness.
I’ve used this method so many times when I feel it is critical to remember something, like where I parked the car in a parking garage.
Be conscious of the words you choose. And remember the way the subconscious works. Consider saying, “Look away,” rather than, “Don’t look!” And, “Be brave,” or “Be courageous,” rather than, “Don’t be afraid.”
Your Superconscious speaks to you through intuition and leads your power of discrimination when you allow it. So listen to your intuition. You know what to do and what not to do and are conscious and in the moment.
Inevitably there are times it seems appropriate to use not. Like, “This does not mean…” Just follow that thought with what it does mean.
In the hope you find enlightenment close at hand, PortiaSLB
Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:
“The subconsciousness always imposes on consciousness. It always wants us to do something. The Superconsciousness always wants to be asked. When we ask we should always believe that we will receive. The Eternal must answer when asked.”
Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Volume I, p. 313.
Fear of Terrorists, Part 3
We all are affected in some way by terrorism because each of us carry a trait of fear in our ego and personality. When that trait is activated through worry, hatred, anguish or similitude it adds to the world collective of negative energy, pulling us further into it.
Terrorism and fear are problems to rise above as we make other choices that lead to happiness for us all.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, Stuart Miles
BE CONSCIOUS OF FEAR
Any fear that we harbor in the subconsciousness can be unconsciously activated and added to the fear circling the globe when we relate to terrorism through the media or any other way.
It can also draw more negative energy and fear to us. Thus, some of the fear we experience concerning the situation may be what we unconsciously drew to us from the fear circling in the world mental atmosphere. It’s like the mass seduction of a mob with fear spreading from person to person until nearly everyone is affected.
CHOOSE PEACE
Whenever you experience any type of fear, especially fear of terrorism, look on it as an opportunity to over-come it. That’s putting some positive energy in the equation already.
Consider viewing the ‘thinker’ within, bringing your thinking to the present moment where your body is physically. It frees you to practice silencing the mind, thereby releasing fearful thoughts, and you can consciously choose to align with inner and universal peace.

BE OPEN TO UNDERSTANDING
Through science we now have a bigger view of the universe; we are part of a great sea of infinite galaxies, infinite abundance, infinite creativity and infinite power. This enables us to have a deeper understanding and a base of faith that we are part of something greater than our self.
What some would call God, Lightbearers call the Great Principle, Our Father, that IS Unlimited Power, Cosmic Mind, Ubiquitous Law, All-inclusive Love and All-Encompassing Spirit.
Background: FreeDigitalPhotos.net, hyena reality
HAVE FAITH
Humanity created religions for our own emotional comfort because of the pain from our mental fall from Grace; our belief that we have lost the support of the Eternal. Fear, hatred and all the other negative subconscious traits were created because of that belief, and terrorists and fear of terrorists stem from that.
Yet, there is hope because there is still a flicker of faith within us that Harmony exists. That faith can become a flame to help us rise above fear.
DEVELOP AN INNER SENSE OF PEACE
Though we may experience fear it will eventually end because we created it and give it power.
Let us fight for freedom! When you are peaceful, happy and loving within yourself and express goodwill, caring, kindness and compassion for others, it helps raise everyone out of fear and break the cycle of terror.
Love too can circle around the world, increasing the Light in mind and heart.
May You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB

Consider this quote to reflect upon:
“We must live peace, be one with it. That is our problem, our final aim as Lightbearers. We must gird ourselves with the sword of courage. We must fight, not on the battlefield of killing, but on destroying all that is opposing real happiness within us.”

Nature’s Sunflowers
We live in constructed civilization, yet we are still surrounded by nature’s bounty from the air we breath, the grass growing in the crack of the sidewalk, to the flower in the garden. When become aware of such wonders it brightens our outlook because it inspires us to appreciate not only the beauty we live in, but also to feel it emotionally!

Butterfly Wisdom – Capacity
Capacity
Life isn’t about what you look like,
how much money you make,
where you’ve been,
how successful you are in the human world,
though we like to think it is.
We don’t want to face our self,
ask the hard questions,
dig deep to know what we feel.
Are we afraid we might find out?
We have a great capacity to Love,
but …
Why don’t we know that we do?
and that’s the question we must some day face …
but …
In the Hope that You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB

You can see we need anger management in how we entertain and tell a vision.
We dress in white collar and suits, but daily show that we are sons of anarchy;
the voice of mad men, dancing with the stars.
We live in a house of cards, under the dome of a community full of breaking bad and shameless, criminal minds.
It’s a grimm, arrested development and scandal in our worldly homeland because we feel justified to seek revenge with necessary roughness.
We are the walking dead, masters of sex and pretty little liars that believe we only have one life to live since that is part of being human.
Once upon a time we felt like life was elementary and we should have supernatural, happy endings, all the days of our lives even when we made bad decisions.
It’s tomorrow people!
Big brother, new girl, the young and restless, you are all a person of interest since you are a survivor and true blood, masterpiece.
There’s a modern family forming on earth in which we understand we are all part of something greater than our self, especially now!
The CSI (crime scene investigation) is fading to black and the last ship is sailing because we are on the fringe of Law and Order.
May you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
