Simple Methods to Be Happier, Part 1

No one is happy all the time. We chase happiness because, while we may have it for a time, it is fleeting. We set an ideal, reach it and when our happiness fades we set a new ideal. Or, we may have been in a state of contentment and then something happened at work or home and we become unsettled due to negative circumstances or ego traits, which can trigger a tailspin.

However, the majority of our happiness is determined by our choices – that is, our choices of thoughts and behaviors.

There are some simple ways you can develop more awareness of your innate inner happiness.

 1. Choose Love

 We may say all we want is to be happy, yet what we truly want is Love. We want to be conscious of being loving and being loved; of knowing Love.

It’s the feeling of Love that changes things for us. When you choose to think, feel and express love in all that you do, like being consciously friendly, caring and considerate, the more you become conscious of Universal Love and your innate happiness.

The feeling of genuine love is the soul manifesting Universal Love as substance. However, when you choose to pervert love and generate fear-based emotions, it is still substance, but physically manifests in your life negatively as illness and problems. The subconscious perverts and reverses the power of Love, therefore you see and experience everything upside down. You feel separate and apart from everyone and everything, especially the Great Principle and Universal Love.

As you come to feel and express love more in your relationships and life you become more aware of Universal Love, and this will lead to the conclusion there is only one choice and that is for Love and happiness.

2. Cultivate gratitude

Start your day out optimistically by consciously stating 3 different things every morning that you are grateful for. Try this for 21 days at least! That’s the amount of days it takes for most of us to establish new brain patterns or habits with repeated daily practice.

You are creating substance, chemistry in the brain, to construct these new patterns with the power of Universal Love and Universal Mind. Therefore, if you consciously practice it every day for 21 days you will have created an optimistic attitude, or at least the start of one!

Gratitude (and optimism) has a vibration of love that attracts more reasons to be grateful and happy because it activates the Law of Attraction! It can also help you be more conscious of your Inner Love and more receptive to Universal Love. When you realize that you are part of Universal Love and emotionally feel it then you are physically, mentally and emotionally creating change in yourself and also helping others.

3. Practice Relaxation and Silence

 If you spend 5 to 10 minutes daily releasing the tenseness of the body and the constant monkey chatter in your thinking you can change the frequency of your brain energy.

The busy, busy vibrations of the human world can cause the brain to overload and your thinking can get habitually lost in circumstances or egotistic energies of negativity and fear. Those few minutes of Relaxation and Silence are a relief and you begin to feel free and peaceful. You are freeing yourself from the ego and it’s traits based in fear.

That feeling of freedom and peace are qualities of Love, and they can open you to new vistas in your attitude and behaviors that materialize in your life as happiness and love. Very simple to do and very effective!

We will continue with more ways to help you be happier next time, with the help of the Great All.

Until then consider enacting some of these ideas for more happiness and reflecting upon the following quote:

“Love has a dissolving power on everything negative and a power to bring together, hold together and cement together everything positive.”

Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Volume 1, p. 145.

Butterfly Wisdom – Come to Know You

COME TO KNOW YOU

We are born and play through our youth
And come to taste the pain of growing up.
In our middle years we more than make up for the time we wasted,
So we think, by striking at everything in sight.
We taste the wine, hear the song, smell the burn of fear.
We walk the walk how we are taught,
And forget how to be a natural friend.
Finally we tire of the game and begin to feel that there’s something wrong
And turn within to face the charges made about us.

come to know u backgroundGraphic FreeDigitalPhotos.net, prostocks

We die we think, yet come to comprehend
We choose to live and die forgetting again.
Each time I come face to face with You
And look in your eyes that are more than a window to the mind;
They are a window to the soul – yours and mine.
I come to know You.

You are strong, you are wise, you are true in heart.
You are beautiful, so am I and everyone else,
If we are aware of it or not.
I come to know this intrepid spirit of You,
You are so good at heart.

This is True. Love and Light, PortiaSLB

Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself, Part 4

If you feel aggravated while interacting with someone then a low-frequency ego trait was most likely activated. Yet, that uneasiness can be your great asset! 

Your emotions can lead you to realize the Wisdom and authentic Power of your Soul. When you become conscious of being tempted by a negative emotion or behavior it inferably is your Superconsciousness gently letting you know something is not in harmony with your soul! 

First things first!
When I feel some uneasiness during an interaction with someone, I use the FourSquare, as discussed in Part 3, to help me pinpoint the reason and name the trait or thought that was not in harmony with the qualities of my soul.

Once I consciously realize that I was tempted to engage in a harmful trait that is based in fear, I then will myself to relax mentally. This is important so I can focus on going further in my attitude adjustment! I then mentally step away from that adverse criticism and let it go. I let it pass me by. I turn it away; I throw it away; I blow it away! It is such a liberating and empowering feeling!

The next step is life changing – I mentally look up within to connect with a Higher Power – Universal Life Energy to help further harmonize and inspire me. I realize and make a declaration of Truth to align with love instead of fear with a statement like:

Header_with_Exercises_new“I am One with Universal Love and Universal Life Energy. I am conscious of being loving and being loved Now. I feel IT.”

This brings my awareness and gratitude into the moment before speaking or acting. I manifest that attitude adjustment in some physical manner. It may be something very simple, like a smile to a stranger or sincere listening and to what the other person is saying. It will be a choice that is motivated by love rather than fear.

You’ll know a change has taken place within yourself and so will the other person if they acknowledge it or not.

Temptations of the Ego
We experience detrimental emotions and traits because of choices we made in the past and choices we make now. Through the law of karma, the Law of Cause and Effect, we unconsciously create harmful conditions that become habitual by frequently engaging in thoughts of worry, impatience, anger, procrastination, or carelessness! 

The subconscious ego aims to dominate us with these temptations, and thus we come to believe the illusionary personality traits we engage in and claim them as our own. You may come to think that is who you are, including that you are a terrible person at times, not good enough, not lovable or loving. You are not your thoughts! 

Your Soul Mind Connection
You may be tempted by fear-based emotions, yet that feeling of something not being right is your Higher Self awakening you consciously to the illusion of the insecure ego. Your Higher Self or Superconscious is your connection to Universal Mind. You are tapping into Divine Mind when you listen to your intuition. Be grateful!

You have the Eternal supporting You and helping You unconditionally! Take the opportunity to release subconscious traits in the moment and choose to align with Love instead. In this way you will  bring out the qualities of your Soul in your life and empower yourself to attract more conditions for your happiness, and indeed the world!

You will come to know that You are a beautiful Soul and so very good at heart.

With Light and Love, Portia SLB

Consider this quote to reflect upon:

“Without our knowing it, Superconsiousness plays a more important role in our lives than subconsciousness because it is always watching us and reminding us when we make a mistake.”

Once you are aware of being tempted to react to someone with prejudice, the next step is to name that harmful trait because you are in the process of recognizing it in order to release it, and choose Love instead.

I start my self-analysis with questions like: Am I being motivated by fear or Love?

If I am not so sure of the answer, then I refine my questions to help me discover if I am in sync with the four major characteristics of my soul. If one of those four qualities – energy, intelligence, truth and love, are not fully present then I know that I am not balanced and am motivated by fear, ignorance, or impatience.

The four major characteristics of our soul are the same qualities of the Eternal, what a Lightbearer calls the FourSquare:

FourSquare_Pyramid

LIFE: 

  • Is this emotion I’m feeling enthusiastic, energetic, and high-frequency (calm and peaceful)?
  • Am I doing the right thing at the right time with a harmonious purpose?

INTELLIGENCE:

  • Is my reasoning in this emotion logical, rational, wise and based in fact, or is it based on an assumption?
  • Am I conscious, reasoning and open to the inspiration of my superconscious, or am I listening to urges and desires of the subconscious? (Do I feel  calm, rational and considerate or rushed, anxious, and worried?)

TRUTH:

  • Am I in harmony with the Universal Laws? Is my reasoning truthful, honest and sincere?
  • Am I feeling hurt by the truth?
  • Am I aligning with my inner strength and wisdom, or submitting to wrong?

LOVE:

  • Am I approaching the issue impersonally or is it all about self-righteousness? 
  • Am I taking responsibility for my actions and feelings or am I placing blame on someone else?
  • Am I mentally stepping away from anger, resentment and negative thoughts and choosing to align with unconditional love for myself and the other person(s)? 

If one quality or corner of the FourSquare is missing or corrupted then I know my reaction is out of balance and can cause me further temptations and problems! Thus, I do something about it – I change my mind!

With Light and Love, Portia SLB


Next time we’ll work on changing our mind and choose to align with love, with the help of the Eternal.

Until then consider this quote to reflect upon:

“If we would follow more our Higher Self, we would by and by not only make no mistakes, but we would unfold our FourSquare. The FourSquare comes from our Higher Self.  We have always had it, but we must realize it.”

Eugene Fersen, Advanced Teachings in Science of Being, p. 26 

 

Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself, Part 2

 

It May not be Pretty

A spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart because it can mean a great deal of work to know both the personal, human traits and the individual, spiritual aspects of yourself. Knowledge of the human, personal part is not always pretty, yet it is essential in order to release any part of it that may be holding you back from the success and happiness that is your natural right as a soul.

Your Higher Self does not impose itself on You. You must be silent and listen for your Inner Voice of intuition with an awareness of Unity.

 
Self-analysis can reveal both what we consider good and bad. One of the easiest ways to exercise self-analysis is to be conscious of the way you respond or react to people you have a relationship with or those you have just met, even in passing.

Those responses that are harmonious are the ones to embrace as they carry you further on your spiritual journey, while those that are not quite there yet could use an attitude adjustment, because those are the ones that can drag you down and cause you pain!

 Pain is the teacher, while your intuition is your liberator – when you listen to it!

Notice your thoughts and feelings when you interact with someone; that is, be conscious and aware of living in the moment.

You may feel justified for a resentful, jealous, guilty or impatient attitude towards someone because your egotistic beliefs are pulling you down. Yet, it is your Higher Self, your superconscious, that inspires you to consciously recognize false beliefs in order to release them. 

Once you understand that you were tempted by self-righteousness beliefs, consider refining your conscious self-analysis using the qualities of the FourSquare to pinpoint the problem. The qualities of Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love are standard to press into judgment as you listen to the inner knowing and intuition of your Higher Self.

I start with questions like:

  • Am I feeling compatible and drawn to this person, or am I feeling uneasy and put off? Though that’s usually an easy question to answer, I’m also keenly aware that those questions do not get even near to useful self-analysis. I go further.
  • Am I feeling critical, spotting shortcomings or feeling congenial? Why? Then further.
  • Am I conscious of being motivated by fear or love? That’s the big question!

When I am sincere and silent in my spiritual purpose and discover that I am being motivated by fear then I continue in the examination.

We’ll go deeper with more FourSquare questions and steps to unveil your Soul by releasing hurtful traits next time, with the help of the Great Law!

In the mean time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“What you call Good is also an effect, brought about by attuning yourself to the Law and working in harmony with it.”

Releasing False Beliefs about Yourself, Part 1

 

Conscious Awakening 

You can learn a lot about yourself by observing your reactions to other people, and even better yet, it can help you release false beliefs about yourself that can encumber your spiritual journey and derail your dreams of happiness.

Observe Your Reactions to Others
Most of us unknowingly carry around illusionary and fearful subconscious baggage in the ego like jealousy, guilt and resentment. Those traits can urge us to react impulsively without logic, especially when we are in the presence of another person spouting negative energy as in anger, hatred, and self-righteousness.

Observing our reactions to others gives us great insight about ourselves!  If we do react to the emotions of another person and project fearful energy like anger, it most likely is because we carry a similar trait in our subconscious and personality.  Due the Law of Attraction, like attracts like energy is drawn out – and we choose to express it. 

A negative reaction to other people’s ego will hurt us because what we put out there in the universe eventually returns to us increased. It boomerangs, coming back to us, attracting more negative energy! And, we don’t realize what’s happened – that we caused our own unhappiness.

No one can make us mad, sad or lonely. We may want to blame others for feeling wronged and dejected, yet we are responsible for our own emotional being. Anger, self-righteousness, loneliness, hurt and other negative egotistic traits are false beliefs about ourselves rather than about another person.

We have created personalities that carry around fear, pride, impatience and ignorance, and we create our reality with those thoughts and emotions. Yet, we always have a choice and free will. And, responding with high-frequency, loving energy to others, even if they exhibit negative traits, creates our own happiness. Plus, it may help the one that we may be tempted to negatively react to.

Those character qualities that are considerate and peaceful don’t need

your conscious adjustment, only more frequent activation!

It is of the greatest benefit to be conscious of your thoughts and emotions when interacting with anyone because only you can do the real mental work to release subconscious beliefs about yourself, transcend the subconscious ego, and create your happiness.

With the help of the Great Law we will continue transcending the ego next time with steps to take to release false beliefs about ourselves.  

 If you feel like you have to analyze things to death,

then that’s the point – to kill off negative traits. It’s a good thing!

In the meantime consider this quote to reflect upon:

“When Jesus said: ‘Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow will take thought for the things of itself; sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof,’ He meant that we must NOW do the right thing and then the Future will take care of itself because of the law.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, p. 220.
