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.
With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Witness the End of guilt

We sometimes feel very guilty and it hurts our heart! No matter how hard we try it’s usually difficult to forget about because it circles and returns.
But we can witness the end of guilt within us.
The Truth of It
The egotistic, human mind is attracted to guilt! Many of us believe we should feel guilty because we blame our self. But guilt, blame, shame are conditioned expectations programmed in the subconscious by long standing beliefs.
We are programmed to expect guilt and choose guilt over forgiveness and release. Even when we blame someone else, it returns to us like a boomerang and it attracts more blame and feelings of guilt.
The ego thrives on guilt, using guilty thoughts and emotions to ensure its survival. Survival at all costs, even at the cost of our happiness, health and life.
However, guilt is a belief of the ego and just by taking a step towards truth, acknowledging that guilt is a belief, it begins to leave us.
Guilt is not Truth or else it would be never ending and there would be no happiness. Truth begins to free us of the burden of guilt.
Truth is eternal. The Truth is we are made of Love…It holds us together, our cells, mind and emotions. Love within us is in a state of harmony and doesn’t even see guilt because it is not a loving quality. Guilt is an illusion and doesn’t exist in Love.
Love does see Truth and attracted to Truth, but not guilt. Love has no guilt in it, but fear does. And fear is attracted to guilt, but not Truth. Fear has no love in it.
The ego is attracted to guilt. It urges us, demands us, expects us to choose guilt because of belief in it, blame and fear.
You can choose to release any temptation of guilt, by seeing the truth of what guilt is, by letting it go, releasing it to the Light of Truth and Love. Guilt is of the past. The past is gone, now is all there is.
But if you do ever feel guilt rise up into your consciousness
Feel the sensations of guilt in the body, usually as twisting in the stomach area. Just feel without judgmental analysis. Those sensations of guilt will eventually run out of your body. The feeling served a purpose in helping you become conscious of something to release for your own benefit and the betterment of all. Thus you can release guilt and blame and focus instead on gratitude, Inner strength, intelligence, spiritual integrity and love.
Love Truth and you Love yourself, for You are the Lightbearer of Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love. And you are free and wise to choose Peace and happiness rather than deserving of guilt.
You can witness the end of guilt. And be the witness of the Power and Love that You are.

“Our conscious self must learn the lessons of Love. Our Higher Self does not need to learn it. Our subconsciousness all the time emanates hatred into our consciousness. It has no Love in it.”

Instant Peace and Harmony

Sometimes we can be tormented by the continuous thinking and dwelling in negative traits like regret, anxiety, and craving. We don’t like it or want it, but we can’t seem to stop ourselves. Yet, we can consciously choose ….
the HARMONIZATION exercise. It is the most beneficial practice I’ve experienced that brings calm, peace and expansion into happiness. And this opportunity is always available in an instant!
Begin with Relaxation and Silence in which you open your body and mind to the influx of Universal Life Energy, the harmonizing Power of the Universe ….. And it leads to a greater awareness of your connection and Oneness with Universal Consciousness and Divine Love ….. where we are guaranteed Peace and Harmony.
“No circumstances even of the utmost danger can disturb” the calm and peace of mind and emotions when you enter Harmonization:
“After you have relaxed, entered into Silence and made the Contact with Universal Life Energy, concentrate on the Love Aspect of that Force from which Peace and Harmony spring.
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 380.
Allow yourself to trust the Supreme Power and let inspiration draw you into the core of your Spiritual Heart and your innate Oneness with Infinite Harmony. …..”it makes you master over yourself.”
It’s simple and this can be achieved in an instant, in any moment.
Be willing to pause and consciously reconnect with Unconditional Love ….. with that which you are already.
Being willing is very different from using the human, egotist will. The human will is the petulant demands of the ego’s narcissistic wants. When you are willing you lovingly trust, surrender and deliver yourself into the arms of Divine Love. You allow yourself to experience in your present physical form the Divine that you are and are open to infinite possibilities.
It’s a paradox; an effortless phenomenon of duality/unity. And NOW becomes an exquisite moment of enjoyment, happiness and harmony that expands and grows into future possibilities.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
“There can be no compromise with Love. It is an Impersonal Force, All-Pervading, All-Powerful, Supreme. No human Will can affect in the slightest the Power that holds the Universe in its grip. If you accommodate yourself with it, you will reap all the advantages that such a Strength can achieve.”

Opportunities in Karma Excuses

Opportunities for change
There are things we would like to change about ourselves, like being a chronic worrier, nervous, sickly, obese, unlucky in relationships, not good enough …… and the list goes on. And we can blame it all on karma. But we can consider such conditions as notices for opportunities to improve!
The ego likes to place blame elsewhere to avoid taking responsibility and doing anything about it.
In order to overcome any difficulty we must first become conscious of the subconscious payoffs, being a victim, guilty, superior, so we can take steps to outgrow it.
Within your willingness, without arrogance or expectations, in this opportunity is your acceptance of your natural state of harmony.
So consider this paradigm to outgrow negative egotistic difficulties:
- Be conscious and aware of thoughts, emotions, especially the payoffs. There are payoffs for being stuck in negative traits, even those that we don’t want, like avoidance and procrastination, escape or the need to be right! We can be willing to look at those payoffs honestly and feel them completely right in the moment without being attached or taking them personally! Relax. Do not claim them as being yours or who you are! Instead, notice them without attachment and let them run out.
- Negate any negative egotistic thought emotion or payoff that does not serve the better good, like, “I can never change this. It’s too hard. Takes too long. Is too difficult.” Mentally say something like: “Get behind me. I have outgrown this condition.” And throw it in a mental trashcan.
- Contact Source. You are of Divine Harmony called Source, The Great Law, The Great Principle, Universal Life Energy, God, whatever you want to call IT. And anything is possible! Therefore, make the Mental Contact with Source to help you.
- Make Declarations of Truth, like “I am One with Source, always connected and have all the same FourSquare qualities of Power, Intelligence, Sincerity and Unconditional Love.” Let the thought and feeling enter your entire mental and emotional being ….. into your Heart and Mind, and spread into your body and each cell, cleansing, purifying and multiplying.
- Put your heart and passion into what you naturally are with powers of the FourSquare. In other words be enthusiastic, intelligent, sincere and Loving, focusing on these and manifesting them in your life choices as you become what you want.
- Be compassionate and reach out to help others, especially those with similar opportunities. We all have the right to our karmic density. And serving humanity also serves Source and yourself.
These are simple Self-love steps and completely doable! Do them over and over as they become what you are.
Remember you attract and manifest what you are!
If anyone of us can do it so can You!

Anxiety the night before work? 5 Simple Self-Love Practices
Sometimes we dread going to work, feeling a bit anxious about what we have to face. Yet, try to remember and be grateful that your Inner Being is altering you to take notice!
You can recognize these uncomfortable emotions, release them, and choose a different path to build your happiness!
So, if you are tempted to feel anxious consider these simple practices:
- If conditions are agreeable, go outside and look up at the sky, the clouds and universe, drinking it in. You are an eternal Being, One with Source. Be totally in the moment and enjoy it fully, appreciating the Freedom and expansion into the Infinite.
- Moving, dancing or just pausing and taking some deep breaths releases endorphins in your brain to help change your emotions and attitudes for the better. Give it at least 90 seconds to kick in ….. You will be amazed at how it helps!
- Do not compromise with anxiety! Just notice uncomfortable sensations without labeling because you can end up circling in those thoughts and going downhill. Instead, just feel the bodily sensations fully, letting them run out. Make Declarations of Truth, something like, “I am not subject to such temptations because I am an Infinite Being unified with All Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love. I am Spirit with a body and am Loved Unconditionally and I have this wonderful opportunity to Love Unconditionally as the Eternal does. Life is full of opportunities for my happiness and for others.”
- Just before sleep set a purpose of rising in the morning with a positive attitude. Visualize yourself working with enthusiasm, having genius insights, sincerity in your heart, cooperation and gratitude …. You are training the subconscious to work for your happiness!
- Be kind to yourself! Remember uncomfortable feelings are reminding you to be conscious, aware and Loving! Give yourself moments of Silence and contact Universal Life Energy to shift your consciousness. I do the Star Exercise and mentally realize, saying, “I am One with Source manifesting all the same qualities of Energy, Intelligence, Sincerity and Love.” That Divine Energy, Universal Life Energy harmonizes body, mind and emotions, elevating you to higher frequencies.

“Your Purpose in life is to realize in fact the perfect Individuality within. Personality is the door through which the real YOU can emerge. Self knowledge, an intelligent understanding both of yourself and of the World outside, is your key to open the door.”

This is amazing to realize! 4 essentials to reestablish Harmony in your life!
This is an amazing thing to realize!
Disharmony in our life exists because of the Law of Harmony! We consciously want to be happy and even the subconscious ego desires happiness, but the ego is also neurotic and naive, causing disharmony.
When the subconscious ego hits against Harmony it creates an egotistical concept of disharmony and we suffer. The unconscious strategy of the subconscious ego is to get attention …. and drama pays! The ego can unconsciously make you feel like you have to perform to get any attention. And thus, we grumble, complain, shout, protest, and declare war.
Your authentic self quests for Harmony
When things really get “bad,” a sincere person goes silent and asks why: Why do I suffer this pain and hurt?
It is a turning point. You are beginning to become conscious, and quest to avoid disharmony. This is how we begin to find harmony.
Balance these FourSquare essentials for harmony
#1 . Go Silent.
Thinking is very addictive! So take some deep breathes and practice Relaxation and Silence at least once a day. Stop fighting, stop performing and begin relaxing in the moment. Peace is your natural state and your soul qualities surface in peacefulness.
And, consider contacting Universal Life Energy, the Power of the Universe and Great Principle to help you.
#2. Use your intelligence wisely.
Try to understand the way the human mind, the ego works. It is the reason for so called “disharmony.” And we can learn to rise above it.
And Meditation can help you align with your Higher Self, that part of you that is always happy and harmonious.
Slowly, slowly as your silent quest for answers deepens so does your understanding. And you rise consciously!
#3. Work to be truthful and sincere.
Find that sincere feeling within yourself and honestly express it! The Universe is always sincere and it helps us when we are too.
#4. The key to Harmony is Love.
Express Love simply. Be decent. We are all connected so have goodwill towards others and hope the best for them. And, be consciously grateful for the so called little things in your life and the big things.
Lack of gratitude has a terrible impact on our life. It is an indication that mind has turned away from Love and our mind gone cold. Gratitude warms our heart and mind.
Avoid disharmony
Mind is the leader here on earth, so when you are conscious of love in your thoughts, when you choose love, then the rest of you follows. Your attitudes, emotions and behaviors also express love. You are cooperating with harmony, aligning with Harmony.
Harmony is essential in all things
Deep inside we all quest for Harmony and Love. And Harmony is always here to help you.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings in Science of Being, Volume I, pages 93- 94.“We are not victims of disharmony, because disharmony would have taken good care of us. Devils are always pictured as taking good care of their fellow devils. Like protects like. What brought misery into the World? Not evil, but the Law of Harmony. Harmony is manifested in a world of disharmony. It is the worst enemy of those who are disharmonious.”

5 simple ways to transcend a ‘bad’ day
All of us can feel like we are having a bad day at one time or another!
When I asked a stressed parent what their top way to turn a bad day around they said, “to drop the kids off at the grandparents!” Made me giggle because I understand that logic!
Kids or no kids, know that you have the Power to transcend what the ego experiences as a “bad day!”
#1. Pause, take a deep breath!
So simple and effective to reclaim your connection with Life and the Source of All Power. You are resetting your body’s energies and your mind’s too!
With that pause and deep breath you are drawing in the Life of the Universe! And It will help you recenter in your Inner confidence to work out things for the best outcome.
As you exhale your body will automatically release some stress and begin to relax, along with your thinking. Stress is based in fear on the mental/emotional levels, so choosing to pause is choosing to recenter mentally in calm rather than negative opinions.
In that calm is the opportunity to deliberately synchronize your thinking and body body with Infinite Harmony ….. Make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy and let it flow. Be in the flow, in the vortex of harmonious Life.
#2. Move!
Walk to a different location to be in different atmospheric energies and move your auric energies. Walking can disperse hormonal chemicals related to stress and even soothe neurons in the brain.
Research has shown walking in nature is even better, decreasing anxiety as we synchronize with those natural energies.
If you notice your body language says aggravated or weak, elevate it! Bring your shoulders back and head up into a natural upright position which will also help you synchronize with your innate, confidence and strength.
#3. Change the story you’ve been telling yourself.
Pause in your thinking and mentally relax, becoming quiet, calm and the watcher of the thinker.
Recognize what is going right in your day. The moment you choose a loving thought you are realigning with Harmony and your natural state!
Remember you are an Infinite Being of Light and not subject to attachment to fears like worry and resentment habits. Observe in a detached state, releasing any temptation to think more, labeling and identifying with negative opinions.
You are a Light and Love Being! You, as an Infinite Soul, express all the same qualities as the Eternal: Life, Intelligence, Law and Love.
#4. Remember challenges point to opportunities to heal!
As in the quote below, effect points to the cause! And what we mentally focus on tends to manifest. So we can transcend karma by lifting and transcending our mental level of consciousness ….. that is we can deliberately transcend stress in the moment and in our life.
Through our intent we can express Harmony. It is mapped out for us as the FourSquare. By expressing in our attitudes and behaviors: Enthusiasm, Intelligence, Sincerity and Love we raise our consciousness and transcend ‘bad day’ attitudes.
Tweet
And contacting Universal Life Energy can also helps us be conscious of those inner qualities and express them.
#5. Choose happiness!
We choose what to anchor the mind and our thinking in! Choose happiness! Deliberately choose higher levels of consciousness like Optimisium, meaningful Reason, unconditional Love, All the FourSquare!
Tweet
Gratitude can help. Once you recognize one reason to be grateful, I’ve found that many, many more become obvious to us! And this lifts our consciousness.
*****
Once our human mind starts to identify a day as ‘bad’ it tends to circle in negative thinking, monkey chatter. Yet, we can choose the way of happiness!

It sucks optimism right out!
Have You experienced negative personality traits like resentment, like anger, like impatience that have surfaced repeatedly?
Especially since I’m aware of them surfacing repeatedly from this ego, it sucks optimism right out of me. I go down emotionally, feeling guilty and blaming myself, making everything feel worse!
And even though we go down. We can go down fighting for harmony! I quickly focus on gratitude in silence, especially for the conscious self-assessment and spiritual insights ….. for the opportunity to act in the moment ….. and for the willingness to eliminate flaws!
Relax, breathe deeply and make a silent connection with Universal Life Energy. My attitude and consciousness are immediately lifted.
With further observation, we can understand that in discovering our own qualities and flaws that everyone else experiences their own qualities and flaws too, if they are conscious of them or not. And by rising our own consciousness it helps all others to rise in consciousness too.
And I am grateful.
No favors
The ego buries all experiences, thoughts, and emotions in the subconsciousness to grow unnoticed and clings to them even if they are real downers and don’t do us any favors. We may experience negative personality traits, nightmares, flashbacks, or intruding memories. And bodily symptoms can manifest as illnesses.
We should fight for Harmony!
We have every reason to release the past. And we have unlimited opportunities to construct our happiness in the present.
There’s Hope for Us
Kindly consider looking up within and embrace understanding and compassion for others and yourself, knowing that we all are on our spiritual journey. And that everyone else experiences Love, compassion, understanding, and optimism in their hearts too if they are conscious of it or not.
As we rise in consciousness we release negative egotistic traits like doubt, fear and blame.
And as we rise we naturally radiate Gratitude, Compassion and Love, helping others and ourselves.

Consider Your Real Value

Every decision you make is a reflection of what you think about yourself; your self perception and value.
We are eternal, powerhouses of harmonious Spirit. And the greatest happiness is ours, but we have repeatedly belittled ourselves and believe it in this earthly reality.
Thus when faced with a decision, it is an opportunity to ask ourselves in a moment of silence: ‘Is this choice serving the limits of the ego or magnitude of Spirit?’
Does it feel contracting and binding or expanding and freeing?
This practice helps us realize we will not be content with anything that belittles us! And that we are Eternal power houses of joy and happiness.
Kindly see the Beauty and Love of Spirit in everyone else too, for they are a reflection of ourselves. Remember if we belittle them we belittle ourselves which we will not be content with.

“We are in the Eternal and It is in us. It contains our physical, mental and emotional bodies, and our activities.”

Continue reading “Consider Your Real Value”Overwhelming secret

We keep secrets, but we should not be satisfied with keeping secrets because they can hurt us. And they’re violations of Truth; destructive to our life and everyone else’s. Yet, we can build to our freedom, rising above them and walk the path of Spiritual unfoldment living a happy, earthly life now.
Let me share my experience to make it clearer.
As a child I was separated from my loving mother for some time due to divorce. During our separation I was neglected by caretakers, which I buried emotionally and keep secret. Eventually my mother and I were happily reunited. But I experienced high anxiety most of the time and would sleepwalk, crying in my bedroom doorway most nights, though I didn’t remember it in the mornings. My mother tried to solve the mystery but to no avail, because I still kept secrets of neglect and abuse.
It wasn’t until adulthood that I made a commitment to spiritual development and shared my childhood experiences with my mother. And to find out, she also had overwhelming emotional experiences during those times, and as a child had traumatic, abusive experiences herself. But as we opened to spiritual practice in Science of Being, we began releasing the trauma and began healing.
We both have had much success and happiness in our life since we began practicing the principles of Science of Being. I’ve been a practitioner for almost 50 years and I am so grateful for the Loving Wisdom and opportunities in life.
There are no secrets, the truth manifests
The cornerstone of Science of Being is Truth aflame with Love. It is part of the FourSquare qualities of our Real Spiritual Self: Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love. The principle is to develop all these qualities equally, yet Truth ….. knowing what we really are, the qualities of the Eternal made manifest in our life build us automatically to Spirit. It’s like the ancient wisdom of, “Know thyself and thy will know All.”
And knowing ourselves includes the very human traumas and egotistic traits in order to release them and rise above them into our natural condition of Freedom, Peace and Harmony.
Manifesting those natural qualities of Optimism, Intelligence, Accuracy, and Love in a balanced manner may take conscious effort to begin with, but as we commit to Truth, release the past, and continue to consciously and purposefully manifest the FourSquare in the present moment it gets easier. We automatically manifest what we already are!
Overcoming and aligning with truth
The human mind is naive, and children are especially naive, becoming programmed to behave according to what is expected. And as we grow up we can identify with negative traits like not being good enough, worthless, being a burden, being damaged goods. We may experience overwhelms with nightmares, anxieties, and emotional meltdowns. The effects of traumas are manifested physically.
The good news is that these are attention getters and point to what needs healing. When we open and enter the door of Truth we empower ourselves with All Truth, Power, Wisdom and Love.
It’s no secret. It’s Truth – know your own energy, wisdom, truth and love and communicate it. You are manifesting the FourSquare, which empowers you to rise into higher levels of illumination and consciousness.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
“We have Five Gates or Senses to penetrate into the Unknown. Inside of us, we correlate the outside impressions. Truth is both outside and inside. Truth demands completeness. Half a truth is a lie. Truth cannot be cut in half. It ether is or is not.”
