Today’s consideration: Unintended spiritual progress?

Apparently we have to be willing to progress spiritually. It’s something we choose or intend. And we could have made that choice for Truth so long ago that the ego has conveniently forgotten that choice.

We always have the freedom to stay and circle in many low levels of consciousness, like guilt, depression, anger and hatred, consciously or unconsciously.

However, with spiritual intent and commitment to spiritual discipline the self can translate enlightening perceptions into “aha moments,” or gaps in which we can spiritually progress. A Light comes on in a small gap as we interpret meanings. I’ve found it’s more than “an aha moment,” rather it’s a knowing and state of being. We shift from ego to Conscious Truth. We are willing to be aware of something greater and there is possibility of realizing more harmonious states of consciousness.

It’s also a matter of being brave enough to progress. Some of us don’t want to change. We’re used to and familiar with where we are. We know what to expect and may fear the unfamiliar.

We may also feel like we don’t deserve to be happier, freer or stronger. So we do not intend to progress. And the Great Principle gives us the freedom to choose.

But our intent to progress along with understandings of how the ego functions facilitates discernment and release of negativity. Spiritual Wisdom helps ease understandings when we allow it.

What else can we do? We can contact Universal life energy, opening ourselves to the inflow of the qualities of The Great All, lighting up and activating those very same qualities already within us.

There are two easy exercises in the wisdom of Science of Being: The Mental Contact and the Star exercise. They are Universal contacts with Source!

You that are reading this entry are apparently willing to spiritually progress by virtue of sincere willingness to comprehend it. And I thank you for that. We help each other.

Had any “aha moments?”

Ways to go beyond ordinary thinking

We are very capable of recognizing and exercising our mental powers to raise our ordinary rate of vibration, becoming freer and happier. And we don’t have to spend the day in meditation! 

Being conscious and aware of what is happening in our thinking is the easiest way to create a freer mind and attract what you want in life. If we recognize we are tempted by anxiety or greed, be brave. We should acknowledge temptations without labeling them ….. energizing them. Egotistic, immature thoughts can hold us in discouraging circles of regret, craving, worry and hate. 

Relax physically and mentally, observing the feelings, the sensations, rather than the thoughts as a detached, impersonal observer. 

If we get involved in fearful thoughts, analyzing, labeling them, reminiscing and following them we can get caught in those energies and circle there. As a detached observer of the feelings, the feelings will dissipate gradually. You are releasing the mental/emotional energies. And this is what we want when those energies are coarse and dampening. 

It happens to us all the time. I will start to feel something that’s just off. And I become aware of it, emotionally. Resentment is a very subtle one! I am very much tempted to go into it, and dwell there, analyzing, questioning, connecting the dots so to speak, then labeling it. Pretty soon I realize I’m circling in those energies, powering more of the same! 

That’s when I pause and have some self-respect, taking a deep breath, relaxing and contact Universal Life Energy. The energies start to disperse. I focus on gratitude, sincerely feeling it in my heart and return to sanity. Then I can see and experience all the beauty and love in Life.

“What we think, we are. True harmony, true civilization lies in our mind. Every organ in our body would remain harmonious, if it were not for the interference of our mind.”

The Spiritual Warrior

We have to fight and be a spiritual warrior …. to lift ourselves up emotionally. and consciously. Step by step we can begin to feel better by recognizing opportunities in challenges and accompanying emotions. 

From anxiety and fear we can build a bridge to higher levels by realizing we have felt the same way before and we have overcome it ….. that it doesn’t have to be overcome in one moment since there is always enough time ….. that it feels good to recognize what holds us back and that recognition empowers us to see other possibilities …. and we have within us the courage to look ahead with hope. 

Courage, hope and reason are higher levels of consciously than anxiety and fear. With the attitude of courage we can experience anxiety and fear as catalysis for higher levels of consciousness.

Blocks

We all want success and happiness. But, we have been programmed in this lifetime and many more ….. how to think, feel and behave in challenging situations by our families, communities, religions, and society as a whole …… that are not always helpful. We can tend to focus on what we are missing …. and this can keep us boxed in a lacking attitude, blocking from what we want. 

Clearing the way

By being in the moment with uplifting attitudes we attract beneficial energies and possibilities. We are actually on the cutting edge of constructing our future. You may view it as building in the Law of Cause and Effect or the Law of Attraction. 

Either way you view it ….. it comes to the same Universal Law – LIFE, MIND, TRUTH, LOVE, SPIRIT IS ALL IN ALL. which is aligning with your True Self. And this is our destiny.

In Light and With Light, PortiaSLB

” The Great Principle, the Absolute, is all Life, all Mind, all Truth, all Love, all Spirit; all there is, is in the Great All, and if we apply that Law, the Law of Life, of Mind, of Truth and of Love, to all problems of our daily life, we work out, without noticing it, all the perfection we can ever aspire to, we build up the Pyramid of our own life and reach the Point of Spirit, and we do not notice how it happens, because it is the Great Principle Itself Who is working to that end through us. It is Its work as much as ours. All we have to do is to be conscious, open channels for that.”
