Karmic Effect becomes a cause for another cycle → Thought → …
These are the cycles, the rhythms of our lives.
We are emotional beings and our emotions power our thoughts and behaviors. One emotion can generate a thoushand thoughts. All those thoughts affect our behaviors and our reality. And with the Law of Rhythm we repeat history!
What we feel, think and how we behave, attracts like into our reality ….. in our bodies and health, our physical reality ….. family, work, society at large. and it’s cyclic because of the swing of the pendulum.
Like the waves of the ocean we ride the wave forward, then there’s an undertow drawing us backwards. When we are moving forward it is for our own benefit to take advantage of it and ride the wave forward with gusto! Enjoy it and put our full effort into whatever project we have in mind.
When we feel the undertow starting to come into play then it is an indication to slow, stand strong and refuse to be pulled backwards, mentally acknowledging that it has no power over us …… use negation. This period is beneficial because it gives you time to recharge, refocus and refine your objectives.
It’s simple
As we educate ourselves to understand the Laws of the Universe we can make conscious choices with our best interest in mind. It’s simple really – we empower ourselves through uplifting emotions and thoughts, and responsible behaviors.
The key is to BE CONSCIOUS with LOVE motivating us. If we aim for no harm to ourselves or others it helps harmonize us all. We flow in harmony with both the Laws of Cause and Effect, Karma and Rhythm.

“Our incarnations and reincarnations are determined by our activities here and there. That is we stay in the Beyond longer if our activities here have been constructive. And the same in the Beyond, if our activities are constructive we stay longer on Earth.”
You are in perfection of spiritual unfoldment…. and it is a beautiful process, working according to Universal Law.
As students of spiritual Wisdom, we study …. practice ….. experience the Wisdom ….. and come to know it….. then there is love in knowing, doubt-less and pride-less.
When we experience doubt….. let us view it ….. acknowledge it as a step in evolution of coming into knowing. We learn bit by bit, and it’s an adventure of mind! We are aligning Love and consciousness.
You …. we, are exactly we we are supposed to be according to Universal Law.

“It is Mind which, when misused, debases Life, and it is the problem of Mind to regenerate Life, through the proper use of Knowledge. It is on the plane of Mind that all mistakes must be corrected, that all evil must be transmuted into good, because it is on this plane that the first negative vibrations started, and therefore must also die away.”
The stage is dank and dark
The players desires rocket unforgiving flare
Forgetting the relevant line,
'Pride goes before a fall.'
They shout, 'I am holier-than-thou!'
While not even knowing
How things are truly going
Concern for self-gain
Sees the world as depriving
Blind to hearts' courage endowing.
Willingness to let go
No longer the victim
Intention envisioned
A sense of inner power becomes dictum
Championing of causes when allowing.

Many believe that pride is a ‘good’ quality and …
Though pride may seem supportive of us initially, pride blocks our expansion and is damaging. It lacks love and blocks us from freedom, happiness and our True Self. But, we have been programmed and conditioned to falsely identify with pride, feeling obligated to defend our positions, beliefs, and possessions. Yet there are ways to rise above it and regain our peace of mind.
To release pride …
It helps to realize how it works and how it gains a foothold of self-righteousness in us. Pride is a conditioned emotion based in the past ….. most likely when we were young and naive. And we tend to envisage this conditioning of pride into our decisions and choices without being conscious of it!
Pride displays defensiveness which implies fear and doubt that the object of pride is not strong enough to stand on its own merit and is open to question. A very prideful person, religious group or social movement is locked into a position or belief by fear, making it very difficult to advance or admit a mistake!
Focus may be on what is believed to be missing, with energies of disappointment, resentment, even anger and hatred, attracting more of the same energies. Anger, fear and hatred makes the prideful person feel that they are entitled to act-out, protest, become violent and even kill or maim those that don’t agree. And this also makes them vulnerable to counter-attack!
When we love and appreciate ourselves, a social movement or religion, the opinion of others has no power over us. We no longer need to be right. We recognize our self-worth and Inner joy arises because of love and enjoyment.
We acknowledge any intrinsic problems as works in progress. And this invokes attitudes that problems can be worked out satisfactorily with the world.
So how do we let go?
Pride is a label …. nothing real ….. an illusion and tool of the subconscious ego to continue its control. It helps to remember that nothing has any meaning other than what we give to it! And it makes it easy to let go since it was an illusion to begin with.
Peace of mind naturally rises within us, because there is nothing to defend or be angry about. Each time we recognize pride and get ahead of it, it’s easier to release.
Release is a process of surrender …
We can give pride new meaning ….. and that is by viewing it as an opportunity to learn and grow ….. to surrender to Unconditional Love ….. and regain our peace of mind. We can reclaim our freedom from the burden of defensiveness, blame, arrogance, anger, vulnerability, fear and smug self-righteousness.
Attract what we want!
Our emotions are creative energies and with practice we can achieve our goals harmoniously by picturing them lovingly and allowing them, according to Universal Law rather than by our personal will.
We can deliberately create by deliberately choosing uplifting thoughts and emotions like appreciation, gratitude, optimism, compassion and Love. And with these energies we attract through the Law of Attraction and Love the necessary conditions and opportunities for success.
The greatest gift we can give ourselves is recognition and release of harmful attitudes like pridefulness, fear and self-righteousness ….. and surrender to Unconditional Love. This is surrender to Source, Universal Life Energy and allowing our True Self to Be.

“Every positive quality is the potential victim of this creeping poison [fear], which sows hatred, jealousy, distrust, anger, disease – every wrong and destructive element there is, physical, mental and emotional – in order to bar you from those things that you want and to bring into your life those things that you do no want.”
Eugene Fersen, Lesson 12 in 27 Lessons in Science of Being, page 260.

Recognize, Release and Surrender
One of the easiest ways to recognize pride within our own selves is to observe our thoughts when interacting with others.
As discussed in the pervious entry, we want to get to the bottom of the emotion that causes all the prideful thinking and struggle of defensiveness ….. by recognition, release and surrender.
To begin recognition: Take a deep breathe, relax, go silent and make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy first. …..
So many of us are feeling stressed! …. especially during these times of covid and social unrest. Many people are doing double duties ….. parents working from home and simultaneously schooling their children! Some of us have been been laid-off but still have mortgages and bills to pay.
We’ve become stress, if we weren’t already, but stress blocks us from our peak performance! It’s a habit of survival mode! We don’t purposely become addicted to stress, but it’s something known to us ….. familiar. We may even believe we should be stressed …. it’s our reputation on the line after all! Yet ….. stress is actually abnormal.
And though stress has physical symptoms and even produces hormones like cortisol that can make us physically ill and fat ….. stress is a mental consciousness issue. Calm, collected and confident is our natural state, which puts us in top performance condition. And we can return to our natural state with conscious intent.
Relaxation will give limited relief of stress, but we must get to the source of stress ….. which is emotional ties like anger, fear and resentment ….. in order to rise above it.
Consider these 4 simple methods to get relief!
# 1 – The simplest thing to do when we are tempted to get stressed is to do the opposite. Breathe in the calm and loving energy of Universal Life Energy. Mind is unable to stop itself from circling in thoughts and feelings even if we tell it to “stop thinking!” We need higher help.
If you felt the pressure of stress come from someone else, like your boss, coworkers or partner, send them Light filled with loving, compassionate thoughts. And mentally negate stress by saying and aligning with something like, “Stress has no power over me. I am calm, collected and loving.”
#2 – Do something else physically: Move ….. walk to a quiet place if possible ….. preferably in nature. Pause ….. take a deep breathe …. several. Deep breathing naturally induces relaxation ….. and calms the mind and emotions. Moving the body and coming into it mentally by breathing takes the energies from thoughts and feelings.
#3 – Contact Universal Life Energy. IT is a great gift of Our Father. It can help us surrender to Unconditional Love that is within us before we may even remember it.
#4 – Move into a higher level of consciousness with sincere intent from pride into courage ….. by mentally envisioning dropping stress ….. release stress like you would a pencil from your hand, or like a block you burn in the pure fire of Unconditional Love of Universal Life Energy.
And to release the deeper emotional causes of stress consider the method below.
We have been unconsciously programmed …
like a computer and conditioned to stress because of our mental naivety …. perhaps for thousands of years. We’ve seen adults experience it when we were children. We’ve seen co-workers experience it. It may be programmed in our DNA and cell memories that still causes us “fight, flight, freeze” reactions. This is when contact with Universal Life Energy is invaluable because it naturally harmonizes fear, the deeper emotion.
Even though others, our boss and co-workers can become stressed, remember …… no-one can make us stressed ….. just like no-one can make us mad….. it’s what we allow. Be conscious of emotional contagion!The energies of stress can enter the subconsciousness to grow unconsciously making us feel uneasy most of the time!
Questions to get to the bottom of it!
If we face it ….. the job or issue at hand itself doesn’t cause stress ….. it’s the meaning we give to it! It’s our own internal feelings about it. It’s personal! And we feel personally obligated to fulfill expectations.
The mind created this problem of stress ….. but can’t control it. We can’t control our thoughts ….. our feelings! One emotion can cause a thousand thoughts! We want to get to the bottom of the emotion that causes all the thinking ….. recognition, release and surrender ….(RRS … 🙂
These questions are more of what rather than why ….. mostly because why questions are abstract and we can get blogged down in memories and associated feelings. What questions can lead back to the base emotion without entanglement!
Questions like: For what? So what? Of what? Then what?
Whatdoes it feel like?What are the physical symptoms? Sometimes simply observing the physical symptoms or sensations and labeling it like ‘pressure around the heart’ or ‘difficult to take deep breathes’ (the one I often experienced) makes it easier to recognize! Pressure for what? For what purpose?
The primary question: What’s the payoff?
The ego will fight tooth and nail at this point! It feeds on the belief of stress and hyped up emotions to keep it alive and kicking!
What’s the payoff for feeling stressed? …. To feel better about ourselves? …. To feel like we’re at least doing something?
Does it fill the hole of low self-esteem? What for? To compensate for insecurities, shame, guilt, fear?
Fear of what? ….. Fear of not being good enough ….. not being fit to be loved, lovable?
Staying in self-analysis and question mode is not the objective and we could circle and get trapped there if we dilly dally ….. so consider moving to more beneficial steps!
Try this …..nothing has any meaning other than what we give to it!
It may helpful to look at A Course in Miracles which is viewed by most spiritually minded people, It has Christian connotations, but can be used by anyone! You can listen to YouTube explanations to learn what the coarse is all about.
There are 365 lessons …. one practice for each day of the year. Hence, I am sharing the first 10 lessons in the workbook, which I found to be very helpful to release arrogance and ‘know it all’ attitudes which are related to stress: so practice thinking and realizing as per instruction several times a day!
– Lesson 1, Day 1 – Look at any object in the room or outside and say/realize – “Nothing I see in this room (on this street, from this window, in this place) means anything.” …. page 23 of workbook.
– Lesson 2 – “I have given everything I see in this room (on this street, from this window, in this place) all the meaning that it has for me.”
– Lesson 3 – “I do not understand anything I see in the room (on this street, from this window, in this place).”
– Lesson 4 – ” These thoughts do not mean anything. They are like the things I see in the room (on this street, from this window, in this place).”
– Lesson 5 – ” I am never upset for the reason I think.”
– Lesson 6 – ” I am upset because I see something that is not there.”
– Lesson 7 – “I see only the past.” (It takes at least a split second for anything we see to travel to the brain and process! Hence …. a true statement. And stress and expectations are based in the past!)
– Lesson 8 – “My mind is preoccupied with past thoughts.”
– Lesson 9 – “I see nothing as it is now.”
– Lesson 10 – “My thoughts do not mean anything.”
It may be helpful to write these down and keep a journal to record realization of release of subconscious conditioning programmed from the past.
Release and surrender
Recognition of stress and release of emotional causes are essential processing, yet the primary one is surrender ….. surrender ourselves ….. our thinking and emotions ….. our expectations …… to Unconditional Love. When we allow ourselves to recognize, release and surrender to Love …… we discover our innate courage and real security!
There is sureness and gentleness rather than hurry when we release stress because we are conscious that there is always plenty of time to do what is essential. We trust in the Great Law!
What we gain
We can view stress, or any other emotional issue, by finding the value in it …. by giving it new meaning …. by viewing it as an opportunity to learn and grow.
The release of stress gives us the opportunity to surrender to Unconditional Love ….. and regain our peace of mind. This is a great gift ….. because we have also lightened the burden of defensiveness, resentment anger, and self-punishment. We are less vulnerable and fearful.
We are calmer, happier and more powerful.

“Whenever you feel the impulse to indulge in some negative inner call, school yourself to bring out instead the exactly opposite and positive quality.”
Eugene Fersen, Lesson 12 in 27 Lessons in Science of Being, page 255.
Many societies regard free will as a human right, where we are free to determine our destiny. But there are some that feel everything is predetermined by unknown causes, where our birth to death is already set and there is nothing to do about it other than enjoy the ride in between! Which is reality – free will or determinism?
Another dimension
Evidence is that things are determined about us before we are even born into this incarnation. Our DNA, genes and cell memories are programmed determining our physical characteristics like sex, eye color, etc. Since we are born with programming of our DNA and genes, it’s possible that the time of our birth and perhaps even the time of our physical death are also predetermined by some unknown causes.
Yet, the unknown causes of these programs could actually be our own choices as souls with the help of the Great Principle and Unconditional Love! If we can make choices in one dimension then according to the Law of Analogy, we can in other dimensions.
This dimension
After birth we are mentally and emotionally conditioned by the collective human subconscious by our families, environment and society at large. We are conditioned because of the naïveté of our individual consciousness. We are ignorant about how this works….. how we co-create our dualistic, human reality ….. about how we’ve made it with Unconditional Love with the help of our Father.
The Great Principle is the Creator and IT also backs us up as we use our will to shape conditions for outcomes in Universal Laws like Attraction, Cause and Effect, Polarity, Gender, Rhythm. But in that creation we can get lost in the collective human subconsciousness.
Yet we are very capable of knowing ourselves and living in the present moment unattached ….. observe ourselves uninvolved in past emotional attachments and conditioning. We can learn to elevate our consciousness and recognize temptations like fear, anger, and envy ….. then release them before we cycle in them again.
What it takes ….
This process of overcoming our mental naïveté requires courage and a higher level of consciousness. I say courage because we usually observe things about ourselves that are not pretty!
I was surprised when I realized that I carried conditioning of anger unnoticed, because I am a relatively calm person. When any temptation of anger crops-up now I release it and the fear behind it or redirect the anger for positive motivation. Then I surrender to Unconditional Love.
The ego would feel very justified to feed on negative emotional energies like anger, fear and envy. Yet our Real Self, which is the spark of the Eternal within, inspires us to reach for higher levels of consciousness like courage, compassion and goodwill. These emotions are ours in the present moment when we willingly choose them!
Release and surrender ….
When we train ourselves and strengthen our will to choose higher levels of consciousness we are on the cutting edge of mental mastery and physical reality. We attract more of the same uplifting energies and destroy negative impulses within ourselves ….. and hence we co-create a more harmonious reality.
And when we add to our conscious practice contact with the Great Field of Universal Life Energy, we are contacting all Power and Harmony to help. That Harmony burns away fear, negative programing and conditioning bit by bit.
What’s it about …..
We can view our destiny from both perspectives – free will choices and determinism.We are born with certain characteristics, DNA and genes. Our preprogramming and egotistic conditioning can block us from our True Self and harmonious reality. Yet ….. by developing our mental awareness and free will we can recognize and release egotistic conditioning as in determinism. And with that same free will we can choose to manifest higher levels of consciousness aligned with the FourSquare…. Strength, Intelligence, Truth and Love.
To learn how to easily recognize and remove blocks to higher levels of consciousness consider:

“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. When you overcome that, you kill at a blow the hydra-headed monster which leers out in the thousand and one ills and diseases of Body, Mind and Emotions.”
Eugene Fersen, Lesson 12 in 27 Lesson of Science of Being, page 257.
Most of us believe if we were beautiful, thin or rich then we would be acceptable, be liked, be loved …. and be happy …. we would get that ideal partner ….. that perfect job, etc. So we might start trying to improve outward, on the physical plane…. but still we may not start to improve inward, on the mental and emotional planes to harmonize our thoughts and attitudes.
Eventually we may give up ….
thinking it’s too complicated …. because even when we do the physical work and put positive, uplifting thoughts in our subconscious …. we still may not get what we want so badly!.
And we wonder why? …. Something in the subconscious opposes it …. beliefs …. criticisms …. thoughts …. emotions …. energies that have grown unnoticed …. and in conflict with our goals.
Universal Life Energy can purify the subconscious ….
and eliminate conflicted, negative energies in the subconscious. Therefore, visualize and realize Universal Life Energy purifying the Solar Plexus, the seat of the subconscious … and remember that there also are all the latent, pure qualities of the Superconsciousness within the subconscious.
The above practice in Science of Being is known as the FERTILIZATION EXERCISE. We are adding to Truth in our own subconscious. That positive, empowering thought will eventually, if not immediately, return to our consciousness and …. our reality with the help of the Great Law.
When we purify the fertile ground of the subconscious …. the power of our Imagination and the Law of Attraction can attract those positive, like energies to manifest in our reality, instead of attracting negative energies.

“It is in your power to sow within you the seeds of whatever success your ambition may decree, and to realize that Success on the Plane of your Physical existence.”
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 134.
WE are all governed by Law and …. our alignment with Law, Universal Law …. is the key to our Happiness. So this entry is a simple reminder for myself and all of You that are here and Now to take the opportunity to become conscious, alert and engaged in creating our own happiness!
According to Universal Law …. there are only degrees of ‘good!’
LIFE, MIND, TRUTH, LOVE, SPIRIT IS ALL IN ALL ….
This is called the Law of Spirit or Unity in Science of Being.
When we are in harmony with the Law of Life, Law of Mind, Law of Truth, Law of Love and Law Of Spirit … each one as important as the other and balanced with the others …. we establish harmony in the moment and are creating a cause for our future moments.
Law of Life
The Law of Life is doing our duty at the right moment … being enthusiastic, energetic, strong …. realizing that we are One and inseparable with All Life.
Law of Mind
The Law of Mind is the call to be Self Conscious, aware of living in multiple dimensions …. conscious of living in the visible world of Matter and the invisible universe of Spirit.
Realize we are One with Cosmic Consciousness … aware of levels of mind, emotions, behaviors …. of Superconsciousness, Consciousness and subconsciousness within us.
Organize our day, yet not get fixed or caught up in detail.
Law of Truth
The Law of Truth is to always be honest and say what we mean, keeping our promises. Being sincere.
We should look at the big picture, simplify our life without getting drowned in details. Always accurate without assuming.
Stand for Truth in our life. Create within and manifest Truth in our reality. And realize we are One with All Truth …. All Law.
Law of Love
Living the Law of Love is to meet everyone and every situation with Love leading us. That is …. love impersonally and as unconditionally as possible …. without living in past personal histories.
The Law of Love is The Law of Attraction. We attract those energies of what we put out with our thoughts, attitudes and behaviors …. hence conscious FourSquare, loving intents add to our betterment and others.
And when we realize we are One with All Love …. we are One with the Soul of the Universe.
Law of Spirit
The Law of Spirit is the Law of Unity …. realize the best we can that we are One with each other … One with All Beings …. and One with the Infinite Universe, One with Universal Life Energy. Cosmic Intelligence, The Great Law and Infinite Love, also known as the FourSquare.
In the hope You express Universal Law in every moment, PortiaSLB

Kindly consider your experiences or questions ….. you never know who it may help!
“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the foundation of our being.” Eugene Fersen
It’s amazing how the beauty and power of Alaska can be captured on an iPad! Yet, it is also amazing that there is so much beauty in this world to enjoy. It out weights the dross. And, everything, everything – says something about our earthly condition. It speaks to us in deep and profound ways and all we have to do is be conscious and aware of it.
The Law of Analogy is such a powerful law to help us understand ourselves and of great benefit for those on a conscious spiritual journey. The law Itself is beautiful.
The different states of water can be used to symbolize the different states of mind. The liquid state is like the lively, discriminating consciousness, while the frozen state is like the fixed ideas, beliefs and habitual behavioral patterns of subconsciousness.
The subconscious freezes and imprisons the beauty and Love of Mind, dominating our emotions and behaviors with traits like irritability, worry, guilt or greed if we let it.
Being frozen is hell for us, because the Great Law says Life is constant vibration, change and gradual evolution.
Just like the way the sun can melt a 10,000 year old glacier in Glacier National Park so can unconditional Love of Universal Life Energy melt and change the frozen misconceptions of the subconscious.
We may think we don’t like change, but everything else about us says that we do. That’s an analogy that can help us be courageous in challenging situations!
When two children accompanied their mom shopping they saw a popular miniature doll that they wanted because of the egg packaging it came in, saying it was so to fun open. The mom told them no. But when they all got home, the mom discovered the children had taken it anyway, having hidden it in their backpack …. unpaid.
We all make mistakes
Some of us develop a conscience that hurts when we feel like we have done something wrong. The conscience is a process that kicks in thoughts and emotions of remorse that are in contrast to our moral values.
But here’s the thing …. some of us don’t have a conscience or at less don’t listen to our conscience. And our conscience is not necessarily based in reason, rather in conditioning of culture, civilization, religion, doctrine, and judicial laws.
As children we are usually conditioned in morals by family, society, and religion ….And as we grow our morals and conscience grow also …. but …. so does the subconscious ego. And subconscious desires can dominate reasoning and morals …. thus mistakes like shoplifting are made.
Are we conscious?
That question above …. that’s the question we have to ask ourselves. Are we conscious? ….And do we need a conscience?
Adults are more likely to feel like our conscience hurts when we’ve done something ‘wrong’ …. because we have been repeatedly conditioned in morals. That process of conscience makes us feel remorse. Yet …. consider this …. would we need a conscience if we listened to and behaved according to our Real Self …. to our Superconsciousness?
Our Higher Self does not need a conscience. But ….. our conscious self does …. or at least, at this time in our development. The hurt our conscience inflicts on us can help us …. bypointing to a mistake …. to make us Conscious!
We can grow by learning from our mistakes …. when we are conscious. The subconscious ego doesn’t listen to the conscience because we would have to be conscious. And subconscious desires imprisons conscious reasoning and the conscience.
We have become busy shaking our heads side to side as in ‘no’ and as in confusion …. Fear dominates us so much of the time that our Conscious Self has become too busy to look up to our Higher Self.
We can so easily go berserk …. leaving behind common sense, logic and the good sense to listen to and follow our intuition …. the guidance of our Higher Self and Soul.
Yet there is hope ….
Reason and experience …. when supported by our Higher Self …. are the saving elements in our life.
The FourSquare is The Great Principle …. as a standard we can use to ask ourselves questions to awaken our consciousness …. Is our response Enthusiastic? Wise? Accurate? and Loving? And are we conscious, aware, alert in the moment …. observant without attachment?
And let’s remember friendship ….
Shouldn’t we learn to be friendly with ourselves, especially our Higher Selves ….. and with others? Consider ourselves with Love …. as being surrounded by the Eternal as Universal Life Energy, Wisdom, Truth, Love, Spirit in every moment …. indissolubly connected to the Great Principle …. and a ray of IT. Do we see qualities of ourselves in others? Do we see the Absolute twinkling brightly through the eyes of others?
That mom …. perhaps she had a conscience that hurt …. or …. she listened to her Higher Self and did what she could to harmonize the situation by encouraging her children to be conscious and experience the reasoning of the FourSquare. And by being those qualities herself.

There is a legend that when the European explorers first came to the Caribbean around 1491 the islanders could not see the sails of the ships as they were approaching. It wasn’t until the shamans pointed them out that they could conceive of them.
Karmic Vision
We tend to only to see what we believe we will see …. what we have conditioned ourselves to experience …. what we allow! Have you traveled the same route routinely day after day and passed a billboard or building and never noticed it …. I have and not until I became quiet inside …. did I appreciate the outside … did I appreciate the trees, grasses, wildlife, and yes …. buildings and billboards!
We’re creatures of habit …. even our perceptions of the world around us can become habitual …. we may notice a tree …. but miss the hawk sitting on a bare branch. We may may read words on the computer screen but overlook words that were repeated or mentally fill in words that missing. We can walk right past someone we know without noticing them. We can feel energies swirling around others, but not see thought-forms around them or their auras!
We can clear our Vision
We form karmic vision out of habit and the Law of Attraction. We tend to get stuck in illusionary thoughts and emotions attracting more of the same …. without being aware of the moment or even that we have a choice! Fortunately, someone else’s awareness can shake us awake and point to that thing we did not allow ourselves to see. But …. we must become quiet and peaceful within to have clear vision in the moment.
We forget to be conscious, quiet, open to the vastness of a clear state of mind, free of the domination of subconscious ego thoughts and emotions that have become habits …. of what we expect and relate to …. of what we are comfortable with.
We don’t know what we are missing …. what’s right there within our reach of experiencing in the moment …. because we are too preoccupied. And I can say that most of us miss opportunities to experience wonders that are there on the edge of our awareness …. if …. we are calm, conscious, alert and aware.
Even if someone else points to seeing something that we do not …. we still may not be able to see it! Is it logical that we must go within ourselves first to clear karmic, habitual vision? And then … be consciously willing and open to seeing that which we had not been open to?
When we allow the moment as it is …. quiet, ….alert, aware and observing what is …. thoughts of the past or future are silent. There are no worries, expectations or any habitual monkey chatter …. we do not assume from habit …. rather we observe independently. And this is when we can come to know ourselves and trust the moment …. all the while knowing we live in uncertain, ever changing moments. Our vision becomes clearer, taking in what is …. appreciating Now.
We become independent observers …. without blindly assuming what we are told to see or experience. Life becomes an adventure in the very mist of uncertainty …. and ….we can be soooo surprised by what comes within our field of vision! Within our field of awareness, experience, understanding and have compassion for it!
And clear vision is a great asset since we are not limited by blinding karmic vision. And from clear vision horizons open before us unlimited opportunities to be of service in the world!
