#1 You are the master of your life.

No matter how much you may be tempted to place blame someone else You are responsible for your life…… for your experiences, mistakes and successes, challenges and opportunities. You are the path maker and path taker, the dreamer and the builder.

And no matter how tempting negative urges may be, like impatience and worry, you are very capable of observing them within yourself without involvement.  

For example, when I am negatively criticized I immediately notice that I may be tempted to choose a revengeful, verbal attack. Yet, I become conscious of the temptation because of the way it feels …. dark.

This may happen to you also, but know that after that first time you recognize such a temptation and choose to let it go, You will choose to release it again and again …… because of the way it feels …. harmonious. And Peace will be upon you.

But even when we do fall into negative temptations, we can learn from the experience. Our Higher Self helps us recognize Truth through intuition, gut feelings, instinct and even reason.

There is no comprise with Truth. It is Truth always. It is what It is. And when I recognize that I’ve fallen into a fear based temptation, like guilt and self-punishment, I am Grateful for my Higher Self’s recognition and the Truth of it. And I know that I have the freedom of choice to move beyond the mistake and return to sanity and Love. And that freedom is so inspiring.

#2 see yourself in others

Relationships are wonderful opportunities to expand our happiness, including those that may seem challenging. We are not here to judge or to change anyone else, rather to learn to love and evolve as we travel our own spiritual path ….. to change ourself and be lead by Love in our earthly life.

As we come to know our own good, bad and ugly without attachments, we can walk alongside another person and get insights into their conditioning that hold them in subconscious habits and traits similar to us.

And You may begin to see yourself in them. Recognition can stir a longing and hope for them to suffer less.

And You may feel compassionate energy spring from your heart, touch them and eventually return to you increased even though you expected nothing in return. It’s the Laws of Attraction and Compensation being factors in your reality. 

#3 Relate to everything!

Everything is connected through Universal Life Energy and you can feel It. You can cup up your hands, silent the thinking mind and feel Universal Life Energy flowing through You, flowing through Mother Nature, the plants, the trees, the earth, the air, the expansive of the universe.

You can observe the Beauty in a nonattached state that is impersonal, yet deeply moving and loving. And feel yourself expand mentally and your emotions soar!

#4 This naturally leads to gratitude and ways to express it

As You recognize your interconnection with the Universe, You may come to feel a deep, sincere gratitude. And compassion may rise in your Heart with an intent of easing suffering in the world. And with the help of the Great Principle this intent will also ease suffering within yourself.

Consider Transmitting Universal Life Energy and Love to the World practice. It is very Inspiring and also a bridge to your soul. 

In the hope you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Crazy thoughts when trying to find Silence? It’s easy to deceive, Part 3

Most of us can relate to feeling assaulted by crazy thoughts especially when we are on a conscious spiritual journey, trying to observe and know ourselves. It is so contrary to being in Presence, living in the present moment with silent alertness.

As an observer we can be very affected by what we bring with us, like expectations, interest, familiarity, and beliefs discussed in Part 1 and Part 2. And our perceptions as a witness can also become defective because of other factors. Yet we can rise above them.

Drama

Our emotions affect our perceptions. Being in lower levels of consciousness with fear related emotions makes observations unrealistic and untrustworthy.

If we are stressed out and fearful then our inner observations can be very swayed and even perverted. Guilt can lead to self-ridicule, anger to lying, arrogance to domination. Plus, these emotions can circle around unconsciously and surface as irresponsible choices.

The ego feeds on drama! And this is why in self-observation we quiet the thinking mind, the hurt, the sorrow, the resentment, and come into the present moment, entering the Silence.

We can feel the Presence of something greater than ourselves as we make the Mental Contact. In this state you become an unattached observer, and can courageously observe the good, the bad and the ugly without attachment to emotions like self-pity, regret or despair. You can observe that fearful temptations are just temporary, illusionary and irresponsible choices.

When you make the Mental Contact, you are in Authentic Power and guided to make responsible choices that are rooted in Love, helping you deliberately choose uplifting thoughts and emotions like Optimism, Transcendence and Gratitude. You can observe that these are your natural state which benefit yourself and everyone.

Physical Conditions

Most of us know that if we are tired, sick or short of breath it can affect our perceptions. Things become blurred, out of focus and even seem impossible to give attention to.

That’s when it’s critical to relax. Pause, take a deep breath and you will automatically begin to relax when you allow yourself to. It may take a few minutes, but the body will respond dispersing beneficial hormones.

Remember that wellbeing is natural for you. Relax and allow communication between your body and Source, making the contact with Source Energy, Universal Life Energy. Willingly open yourself. Feel It and Trust It.

Contrary to the way the ego sees it, any discomfort points to where we should give attention to. Physical discomfort points to emotional discomfort. Allow yourself to observe discomforts and temptations in an unattached state of silence.

We don’t necessarily need to know the cause of disquieting thoughts and emotions. That desire to know is a push from the ego. We are creatures of habitual thoughts, attitudes, behaviors and we resist living in the present moment …… in Presence.

Empower yourself by making a decision to focus on the Light of Source Energy in the present moment. Purposefully reach for higher levels of consciousness and emotions like acceptance, tenderness and compassion. This opens us to more Life Energy for healing, growth, Inner Joy and Peace.

And remember it can take some time for the billions of cells in your body to align with your natural wellbeing.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Tricky self deception; It’s easy to deceive, Part 2

Photo: PSLB

Each of us are the creators of our life’s destiny. And it is critical to know ourselves and the workings of the human mind and it greater aspects in order to help us achieve success, happiness and spiritual awareness.

As shared in the previous entry, our perceptions are affected by our expectations and interests. To avoid these pitfalls….. remember we will always feel that something is off. For more link to the previous entry: Its easy to deceive, part 1.

Familiarity affects our perceptions

We have to live with ourselves everyday and we can get so familiar with our habitual thinking and emotions that we tend to ignore them. We may get out of the same side of the bed everyday and have the same attitudes, especially on work days. But, we tend to change our behaviors when we expect to be seen.

Plus …. and this is very interesting …. the ego may act differently when it (we) are conscious of being the watcher of ourselves! As we begin to watch ourselves engaging in such traits as resentment, anger, desire, the ego may retaliate and fall into hatred, despair, and guilt!

Or ….. the subconscious can become very lethargic and the ego can just ignore it. We may ignore our state of consciousness that we repeatedly engage in like procrastination. We may be ignorant of sarcastic attitudes around certain people. Or we may unknowing cling to memories that keep us in states of resignation, anxiety or stress.

It is the conscious self that is the window to self-observation and being the watcher or witness is a first step to recognizing subconscious traits. Yet, being the unattached observer leads to higher levels of consciousness and deeper understandings.

Levels of consciousness like courage, willingness to see the good, the bad and the ugly, and acceptance of our limitlessness and connection to Source can lead to release of the limited ego. And conscious embrace of Love, Joy and Peace.

When you are observing yourself in a detached, uninvolved state of consciousness then you can accept that you are tempted by the ego’s shame, guilt, or hopelessness. You can be conscious and alert in the moment and know that any temptation is fleeting. Put temptations in a mental trash can, knowing that it is an illusion of the subconscious ego.

Remember to make the Mental Contact and be grateful for being conscious and in the process of exposing the ego, and unfolding your Inner Beauty. Softy make Statements of Truth so that they can soak within, into the subconscious ego, to grow, like:

“I am a Ray of the Great Principle with all the same qualities of Power, Intelligence, Law and Love.

Programmed bias affects our observation

The human mind is naive and impressionable, especially when we are children. Since we were little we’ve seen how those closest to us react to circumstances, and we mirror them, becoming gradually programmed to reflect the same qualities.

Our perceptions are affected by the environment we live in. By our beliefs. By our memories. By our struggles for survival, gains, and failures. By our carelessness, lust, envy and self-righteousness.

The Law of Gender is a factor in the human mind, with thoughts, beliefs and programming growing unnoticed in the subconscious, to return to conscious reality. So you can help yourself by being conscious of memes and propaganda.

Inner vanity is an egotistic environment for the spiritual traveler. And the immaturity of the ego has lead to criminality, dissidence, and militancy. Society has been in states that glorifies status seeking, the criminal culture, and deliberate programming of children and adults with memes and political attitudes.

When you refuse to accept responsibility for how you think, feel and behave you are accepting propaganda and programming, becoming its victim. You, we all, become trapped until we are willing to fight for our freedom.

It’s a matter of choice.

As mature beings we can take responsibility for our own level of consciousness and release any payoffs of egotistic traits.

Remember you do not have to do it all alone. We are all on our spiritual journey together and awakening with Source, the Great Principle. As we unfold, so does the Absolute.

And the Absolute is always available to help each of us physically, mentally and spiritually. The Star Exercise and Mental Contact helps on all levels and in all circumstances. Doing these practices daily helps to clear and harmonize the subconscious ego, even those parts and traits that are long forgotten.

And being conscious, alert and aware in the present moment brings us the opportunity of choice.

In the hope you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Unexpected help in the Creative Fire

Photo: PSLB

It’s no wonder that we occasionally feel like there’s something seriously wrong with us. We can become obsessed with seeing the wrong in the world, in politics, in religion, and within ourselves, so we fight against it. What we don’t usually realize is that when we fight against something we empower it.

The child in us is vulnerable 

Choose to fight for rather than fighting against.

When we fight against, our ego it will do whatever it takes to be superior, to protect itself from loosing its power and influence over us. Over our conscious self, our thinking and emotions. We empower the opposition because of the Law of Polarity. And, we end up hurting ourselves anyway because of the Law of Unity and Law of Attraction.

For example, fighting back when you are criticized.

The ego wants to be superior and you can get lost in it, following your thoughts to anger, sadness or even depression. The child in us is shocked and hurt, and that hurt goes into our body.

You can end up mad and resentful, and later even  hating yourself, thinking there is something wrong with you, feeling like you’re not good enough. We assume and believe those thoughts are a part ourselves. 

The ego supports and keeps us in such holding patterns of thinking. It becomes an addiction for us, but we normally don’t realize it is an addiction. We can’t seem to control it and we condemn ourselves, thinking our spiritual practice doesn’t help. 

Fight for instead of against

When we fight for the positive qualities of our conscious self we are fighting to know our authentic self, our presence, our Being. We empower our conscious self.

Observe the temptations of the ego to get angry and resentful without attachment. Consider listening to criticism and use it for constructive improvement. Remain conscious without following a train of thought of angry retaliation in self-righteousness or of inferiority.

Maybe you are even fascinated by these fearful thoughts. Instead, just observe and let thoughts float in a stream, getting further away until they are gone.  

I am grateful for my awareness of fearful thoughts and feelings because it has stirred me to awaken to the way the ego will exert its influence to dominate my awareness and reality.

And, it can awaken you to something more

The fight to know yourself is a fight that can awaken your awareness of the spirit of your Inner Being. Your energy. That creative fire within that changes your awareness of your Self and creates a revolution, and evolution of change. 

You become conscious of freedom. Freedom from the ego. Freedom from the pain of hurt feelings, from retaliation, self-righteousness or inferiority. You are raising above the ego and You are reaching into higher realms of understanding. You are recognizing I am That. You are present as a soul in a body,  Self-conscious of being. 

AND A step beyond 

Consider adding another step to your realization and consciously fight to be one with Harmony, to align your conscious being with spirit. Say, feel and be conscious of something like: I am One with All Life, Intelligence, Truth, Love, Spirit. I am a ray of the Eternal manifesting all the same Powers.  I am That. You will receive unexpected help. 

There’s something right with You! 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Step 4 to Spiritual Awareness

Da Vinci’s man with disection

The sincere spiritual seeker will be willing to to fight for their freedom from limitations of the subconscious ego narcissism in order to become Spiritual Aware. And anyone that has genuinely experienced Spiritual Peace and Harmony within will work to experience it again.

And there are some opportunities to create for yourself:

As reviewed in Step 1: Start on the mental level with a willingness to establish relaxation and quiet, physically and mentally as experienced in the Relaxation and Silence practice. At any moment we can pause, take a deep breathe, relax and come aware of the present moment, quieting the mental chatter.

Step 2 is to be courageous enough to be conscious and aware observing ourselves without scorn or pride. In this step we become aware of egotistic traits without harsh judgments, gradually allowing Understanding and Unconditional Love to rise within ourselves.

In Step 3 we become conscious of something greater than ourselves. And can readily experience unity with Universal Source through the Star Exercise and Mental Contact, reaping the benefits also.

Step 4

The Fourth Step is to develop within ourselves Soul Emotions for they must be equally present with Mind and Body to fully express our Soul or Spiritual Self. And spiritual awareness takes place only when Love is present.

Humanly we experience personal love as an emotion. We may experience it in many different frequencies, yet the one of the most uplifting and enduring is True Friendship. And Spiritual Friends of humanity has lived it and lead the way for our own spiritual awareness, showing Trust, Optimism, Forgiveness, Understanding, Appreciation, Gratitude, Tranquility and Joy.

In this step we may still feel and observe egotistic emotions like anger, disappointment, resentment and anxiety. Yet they will be fleeting because we observe them in a state of awareness that lets them fade away because we just notice them without clinging to them. Gradually such emotions become less and less frequent.

Living in the moment one becomes aware of emotions of the Heart. And we can begin by experiencing sincerity. Deep Sincerity opens the door to Love and all soul expressing emotions until those frequencies become a state of Being – states of Peace, Tranquility, Love and Joy.

To reach the feeling of sincerity we release fear and other egotistic traits, and in turn, our level of conscious awareness rises from feeling satisfactory into acceptance of truth and integrity. And this opens the door to understanding, peaceful joy and Love.

In this step within the eyes of your fellow Being ….. see yourself. And see the extraordinary …… for you are seeing God.

Live a Conscious Heart. Express Love ….. for it is meant to be lived. Meet everyone and every situation with Unconditional Love and compassion, remaining centered in the spiritual empowerment of the very powers of God: Life, Light, Liberty and Love.

Love is a Universal Power. It is the Power of Attraction that embraces the Universe. And the more each of us consciously expresses Love the more we increase our spiritual awareness, harmony, success and happiness for we are uniting with Spirit.

That sense of Freedom is a Soul Emotion

Any extraordinary feelings of Uplifting Enthusiasm, Optimism or connection with Life Energy, Understanding, Sincerity and Compassion are Soul Emotions because they are of the FourSquare qualities of Source: Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love. And these are what we are to develop within ourselves.

Everything on earth ….. all beings, circumstances and experiences are here for us to learn to Love. Through simple steps we allow ourselves to rise into higher levels of consciousness and evolution.

And as we experience a firm sense of Unity with Universal Source and IT’s unlimited Immensity. There is nothing in earthly circumstances that can disturb the Inner Harmony. We become Free within.

In the Science of Being we call it fighting up ….. fighting to align with the Great Principle. That is to BE MAN –

“Express in every act of yours ALL ENERGY, INTELLIGENCE, TRUTH and LOVE; thus Living only will you live; thus acting only can you build to Freedom, Strength and Happiness in Life.”

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PSLB

“As long as you believe yourself to be a separate intelligence, that delusion will set the limits of your knowledge. …..

Your human intelligence is that within you which must learn the lesson of love. You are saturated with Love, made up and sustained by It. Love is the Foundation on which you are based. But you must realize this, perceive it to be so, and by thought and action build up a superstructure of Love and Harmony on that very Foundation of Love which Nature gave you at birth.”

Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 394.

The most challenging teacher

When I was coming into my young romance years, I dreamed of and searched for someone to Love me; someone more than my mother of course.

Now in my older and wiser years, I have gained some perspective, and realize that instead of being here to find someone to love me …… I’m here to find Love within and truly Love others. And I am so grateful.

In my youth I felt I should teach. Where as now, I realize that am here to learn. Life’s lessons are a constant companion and teachers abound.

The most challenging teacher is very close at hand! Indeed it is within. It is the egotistic subconscious that challenges with guilt, fear, anger, pride and more. All the while, I think that there must be a tiny spark of the Divine within such powerful challenges. Perhaps they are opportunities to claim my freedom, strength and happiness.

For there is something within that knows I am here to enjoy and appreciate this life with all the bumps and slumps, twists and turns. And that something within is greater than the ego.

It is Divine. The Soul. Spirit. And I am grateful for glimpses of That.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“One instant of time, and that instant NOW, is one of the most precious and least appreciated of all the gifts with which Mankind is endowed…. Yet it is a messenger laden with greater treasures, greater happiness and greater woe than can ever be estimated until the end of Time.”

Step 3 to Spiritual Awareness

All of us value self-reliance and freedom. Even children exercise their ability to make their own decisions and establish independence. And as adults we continue daily efforts for our freedom, strength and happiness.

Ultimately our efforts are to awaken to the reality of Eternal Existence as Spiritual Beings. Spiritual awareness can come to those of us that focus our energies in a clearcut, concentrated spiritual direction.

And there are some fundamental steps that builds the pyramid of our life to the peak of Spirit. All of these steps may start on the mental level, but they permeate all levels, physical, mental, emotional, spiritual.

First step

The first step is to pause and go silent. A daily exercise called Relaxation and Silence can help you pause and go silent in any moment of your daily life experiences.

Bring your mental focus within yourself, taking some deep, slow breathes and becoming calm and present in the moment. Relax the body, gradually let any circling of monkey chatter thinking go quiet. That’s when we can allow ourselves to become conscious of profound peace within.

Second Step

The second step is to become aware of the witness within without judgments and labels. In this step we deliberately choose to step into a higher conscious frequency. It’s simple.

Pause, become silent and conscious of the witness within. And be compassionate. Courageously face the challenge of the ego with all its obstinate thoughts and emotions with a compassionate Heart and Deep Love. Be willing to accept yourself and the moment with Understanding and Inspirational Harmony.

Negate any thought or emotion that does not serve the better good, throwing it in a mental trashcan. Then purposefully choose higher levels of consciousness like optimism, understanding, trust and love.

the 3rd step

The third step is to become aware of something greater than ourselves, of an unknown mysterious presence. And we can do this very easily when we allow it.

We all experience the Great Causeless Cause Itself within us as life. That Power outside of ourselves is known as Universal Life Energy. And it is the very foundation and essence of All ….. Matter, Mind, Emotion and Spirit.

Because of pride, impatience and conceit we willfully broke our conscious connection with the Source of All Power in our efforts to becomes self-sufficient. Yet, now is our opportunity to restore our lost connection with simple methods of contact.

The most simple is the physical Star Exercise in which you open your body, turning your left palm upward to attract the Universal Power outside of yourself with your own Life Center acting as a magnet.

That contact may feel like a tinglingly of a warm or cool energy, but if you are not conscious of feeling It, then just relax. You are automatically attuning yourself with the Cosmic Currents because of the Law of Attraction. And eventually the Truth of the contact will help harmonize doubt or fear.

When you are conscious of contact with the Absolute through Universal Life Energy physically, then you are becoming conscious of being One with the Absolute on higher planes, mental and Spiritual.

Another simple practice is the Mental Contact

In this Mental Contact you physically relax your body and once you feel harmony within, you open the mental door to assert your union with Universal Life with audible Declarations of Truth:

“I am One with Universal Life Energy, that is flowing through me Now. I feel It.”

And feeling that Power physically is evidence that You are One with the Absolute on the Spiritual, Soul level too because what is True on one level is True on another.

It’s just a matter of what we allow ourselves to become conscious of!

In these practices you are beginning to become conscious of your unity with the Great Principle, God because you are feeling the Truth of the Absolute physically ….. that You are One with the Eternal spiritually.

We may physically feel It as Universal Life Energy and/or as a mysterious unknown presence.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“You must remember that on the Mental Plane you are a law unto yourself. If you believe in a thing, that thing will become a reality to you. But if you doubt or fear, that doubt or fear also becomes a reality to you and prevents you from realizing the thing you want.”

Step 2 to Spiritual Awareness

“People value Freedom above all else; no more magnetic power of Attraction could exist than the sense of Freedom which your Individuality radiates from all your Being.”

Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principle of Science of Being, page 312.

A sincere spiritual seeker is courageously truthful about ourselves, living in a state of conscious awareness. Earnestly practice being aware of where the mind lives, its thinking and emotions.

And when you feel that anything is out of peace, disturbing your consciousness, you can know that you need only be willing to take simple steps to reestablish Inner harmony.

First

The first step is to pause and go silent ….. being consciously aware. Gradually let any circling of monkey chatter go silent. Bring the attention within yourself, becoming calm and present in the moment. Thus, we are living Life as it is meant to be …… as a conscious Being engaged in the moment.

To go into the silence in any moment a daily exercise called Relaxation and Silence can help. This is a simple exercise in which we relax the body, gradually silence the monkey chatter, and becoming conscious of profound peace and presence of something greater than ourselves. One can become aware of actually feeling that Presence as Universal Life Energy.

This is the 2nd Step

When you go within yourself and become conscious of the present moment, practice being fully appreciative of what’s around you ….. what’s happening without habitual pattern judgments.

A sincere spiritual seeker’s second step to awakening is becoming aware of the witness within. To view the world with new eyes, with interest, awareness and appreciation. To view what we experience, think and feel as if for the first time.

And to courageously face the challenge of the ego with all its obstinate thoughts and emotions with a compassionate Heart and Deep Love. To be willing to accept ourselves and the moment as it is with Understanding and Inspirational Harmony.

As an example

I have experienced much emotional pain and mental anguish and have became aware that those labels caused more pain rather than lessening it. And not until I pause and became silent do I begin to calm the emotions. And in that moment, like a flash, I can become grateful for this awareness about the ego.

I become aware of the witness within. Initially, awareness of emotional pain feels bitter-sweet, but when we are truly grateful there is no bitterness. We cannot sincerely feel true gratitude and anguish at the same time.

We can choose gratitude ….. We can outgrow challenges like feeling anguish, fear, hatred, worry, anger, jealousy and unworthiness; that is evolve beyond them.

We may be tempted by the ego to dive into emotional payoffs with blame, guilt, self-righteousness, fault-finding and being right. Yet we can choose to be a doer rather than a critic. We can learn from our mistakes. And even become grateful for them!

We can learn to love ourselves unconditionally and thus we develop compassion for others and love them unconditionally too.

Polarity in human thinking

The human mind is naive and the ego feels emotional pain. Yet, that emotional pain is a flag to awaken us to become conscious! And as a witness in conscious awareness we can view experiences without circling in egotistic traits..

It is a courageous mental exercise to be aware of polarities like how we view emotional anguish and gratitude. Both seem to have elements of the other within them. It is only our mental attitude, our mental perception, our belief that an experience is anguish or gratitude.

It’s similar for seemly polar emotions like fear and love, resentment and freedom, condemnation and forgiveness. Our morals, our values, our mental beliefs, habits and beliefs color how we see and experience life ….. how we experience challenges.

What to do when you are challenged

To outgrow temptations and the payoffs of negative, egotistic traits we should be willing to look at them honestly. Pause, become silent and conscious of the witness within. And be compassionate.

Choose to step into a higher frequency. Negate any thought or emotion that does not serve the better good, throwing it in a mental trashcan. Then purposefully choose higher levels of consciousness like optimism, understanding, trust and love. And we can choose the help of Divine Harmony by contacting Universal Life Energy.

The sincere spiritual seeker will be willing to to fight for their freedom, for Inner Peace and Harmony. And when we do then we are becoming aware of our Higher Self, our Higher Consciousness, our Soul.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“Practice Truth, and thereby cast off the fetters of weakness and fear with which untruth has bound you. Love Truth, and you will gain the treasures of this World, not merely of wealth, but of trust and honor and abounding love.”
