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!

 In the hope You find close at hand, PortiaSLB

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. 

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 35. 

Mindful Pull

mountain speaks 3 refined

In your silence
You stand tall against pain and suffer,
against prejudice, human dross.

In your solidity
You push upward, loyal to your foundation and nature
with a generous upward bound.

You are revealed
Through your strength and humble beauty,
Through your mindful pull.

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


What are your first thoughts and impression of the photo and poem? You reveal yourself.

Memories lost but residue still ripples life’s pond

Mind’s walls separate, while Love’s bridges tie together

Natural forces take us home to calm and peace, to the present untethered.

 

This scene is so beautiful I thought I would share it with You. I took this photo in Virginia on the Blue Ridge Parkway. It’s now a historic site called Mabry Mills, but they used to grind corn on a stone mill inside powered by a stream turning the water wheel.

This setting is a popular subject for artists and You are welcomed to use it for creative art too.

The Secret to achieving love and happiness in your life

star exercise as Intution

Human Redefined

We can disregard the soul, but disregard the body and the body dies

 Mortal man, earthly death comes through the human mind

Humans not realized Man, the Laws of Life we cannot comprise

 Mortal to Immortal Man: deeper into Matter, Higher into Spirit, man redefined.

In Light and With Love, PortiaSLB

 


We like to know secrets – the inside story. We want to know the secret to attracting the things we want, love in our life and our happiness. Secrets are a human, mental concept which gives us a big clue to the secret for achieving our fulfillment and happiness.

Our mental condition determines our state of being, especially our happiness. But our mind is usually in an inconsiderate state of constant chatter. We also experience emotions like in fear, hatred, anxiety, worry, hurry – which feeds more busy thinking. 

Yet it is also through our thinking that we can find our happiness and fulfillment. An easy way to be more aware of your thinking and quiet the mental chatter is to bring your mental focus to be in your body now and breathe. Feel your presence in your body – that is being conscious and mindful of your soul and a vaster realm of mind beyond human mental chatter. It’s an amazing awareness of Being. And, a big bonus is that you get a glimpse of unconditional Love.

These glimpses of love calms and harmonizes our thinking. And as we awaken to being motivated by kindness, consideration, goodwill and caring, then we become conscious of experiencing love. And, through experience we come to know that we are more and more in a mental condition of love. And in that condition we find, we realize, that we are happy and fulfilling our life purpose.

Being lead by Love is the secret to our human refinement and purpose of life here on earth – it’s not a secret at all


 


“MAN IS THE INDIVIDUALIZED PROJECTION OF THE GREAT PRINCIPLE INTO ITS OWN ETERNAL SUBSTANCE, PROCEEDING FROM THE GREAT PRINCIPLE AND INDISSOLUBLY CONNECTED WITH IT, MANIFESTING ALL ITS QUALITIES AND POWERS.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 47.

“We have that longing and yearning within us to go back to the Father, to the Absolute, and whenever we find a channel through which we can achieve that return to Him, a channel opened by Love, we are only too glad to use it, because it is the inmost desire of our heart, it is the love of our Soul.”

Okay, you may not like this entry, or at least the ego may not. It can sting.


 

Until the New Year’s entry consider this quote to reflect upon:

“Sincerity, which is a form of Truth, is a rare thing on Earth. It is Truth passing through the Door of Love.”

Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 145.

 

 

December Rose

December Rose in repose

It’s incredible! You wouldn’t expect a rose to bloom in the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, but it can! This rose is in the front of my abode and continues to bloom, even with the weather turning colder as the season progresses. 

The beauty of a rose or anything in nature touches something inside us emotionally. That is because we feel the vibrational attraction of love. The energy of the earth has the essence of beauty and love. And, expresses the nature and attraction of love in uncountable ways.  

And, we are attracted to it. It can melt our cold heart.

As our heart melts, our consciousness rises. Love can do that, bring out the tenderness of our heart and we become conscious of love.

It’s indicative of finding Love close at hand when we allow ourselves to experience beauty. And beauty is evident in a rose! 

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


“Accept Love as something normal.”

Flutters

ID-1008718

Flutters

We are constantly fluttering,
Becoming dumbfound
We listen to voices with no sound
Dream resolution in delusion
Speak words of confusion
All the while, tasting bitter feelings of collusion.

We oscillate, palpitate and fluctuate
Totally ignore and subordinate the beauty of the butterfly
Misunderstanding the need to identify
With that character to comprehend
The butterfly is not pretend,
And does help us to ascend.

As dangerous flutters abound
We fear the butterfly cannot withstand the pain
Believing it is foreordain
That we are set apart
Opposites, an unsubstantial counterpart
Like a shadow with no heart.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

In the Jungle

 

Jungle Trail2

In the Jungle

The shadows are dark – the air is damp and hot;
The forest thick with tall palm and kapok tree.
Where moss grows on most trunks
And spiral vines hang free.

Where the dabbled leaves in sunlight sing
A patient and wondrous rhythmic song;
With harvests of silence in-between
Ringing truth that in this moment I do belong.

Intrigued I enter a man-made trail
Walking gently on Mother earth awake and aware
So many wondrous sites, sounds and smells,
I smile, enjoy the beauty, and silently declare

I love this adventure!  Granting temporary freedom from ego indenture.
Then there! – broad, beak toucans fly and catch my eye!
They call two young fledglings who are drinking
From a hollow of tree branch nearby.

Spider monkeys jump and howler monkeys yell
Loud warnings of territorial realms
Sounds meant to frighten and repel
Their cry deepens then overwhelms

I look higher and spot a three-toed sloth that rests
In the highest treetop, peaceful, still
Living the moment in the leaves as nature requests
Ignoring the monkeys’ shrill.

I pause and listen again to the jungle’s song;
Grateful knowing that even after I leave this place
I’ll remember Mother Nature’s generous spirit, varied and strong
Offering wonderful adventures for all to embrace;

And no matter where I am
A patient and wondrous rhythmic song
With harvests of silence in-between
Rings truth that in this moment I do belong.
