There is Silence

there is silence

the tall sounds of confining chatter

keeps attention on the troubled lower road of human constructed thinking

that’s well worn from so much use that it sounds and feels normal

words are just words until they begin to feel like something

and behind each word and thought is dark or light desire

while inbetween the chatter is resting silence

during silence there is calm acceptance

in acceptance comes surrender

from surrender comes peace

peace brings  joy and

unconditional

Love

Love

unbridled

brings abundance

in every aspect of our life and

for others around us without prejudice

and surrounds us in an aura of protection that

radiates from our heart, our center for magnetic power

of attraction and the strength of character that commands any

darkness to dissolve itself and leave, all the while receiving and returning

unconditional feelings of goodwill, caring, gentleness, and tenderness for all beings,

earthly and universal in nature because we Know unconditional Love inbetween all the

human chatter.

To Know

 

water lilly  blue reasoning

In order for us to truly understand and know ourselves, we open ourselves, our thinking consciousness to the tenderness of our heart and Love. We heal ourselves because we become whole again – Mind and Love – recombine. Masculine Mind and Feminine Love energies freely flow together.

The heart knows, yet the brain forgot we are so beautiful and are at Home in unconditional Love. That frequency of Home is so close to us, yet to far away in our thinking because we have forgotten who we are and where we belong as souls.

In this creation of our earthly time we quest to Know who we are because some part of us knows we come from a realm of Harmony. We are of the realm of Harmony. We quest to feel the Truth and return to Harmony.

From our human mind we create opportunities for us to evolve step by step, even as we continue to forget what we quest for and suffer the consequences of our mental separation and behaviors.

“The more we improve our conscious self, under the direction of our Higher Self, the more we will invade and conquer our subconsciousness.  Some day both subconsciousness and Superconsciousness will disappear and only perfect consciousness will be left. This will be the divine or cosmic consciousness. We should just try to develop our consciousness. Become conscious of Truth. To develop consciousness is only to become aware. Be aware of all mistakes and misstatements, but do not condemn them in another. The Great Law will do that. Listen to others, then analyse what they say, before believing.”

The Law of Love is to face every condition, every person with Love. The Lover listens and recognizes shadows harbored in fear, ignorance, impatience, pride. All the while pressing in the pain, solidified. Understands the mind of worry, sorrow, slain. Offers harmony of responsive compassionate domain: 

“The more we apply that Law of Love in our lives, the stronger we become on our positive side, and the greater is the harmony within us, until finally we reach a condition of such harmony that no negative vibrations of any kind can ever touch us more because there is no longer in us a response to anything negative.”

Your spiritually driven life

animated-lotus

The human road can be winding and pitted with so many challenges, temptations, glitz and glamour that it can distract you from living a spiritually driven life. The ego wants to keep everything status quo because of conditioning. Yet, the spiritual warrior within is lead by our heart with the wisdom to create conditions for not only our own happiness, but for others and indeed for the world.

The message of Divine Love

We have had spiritual teachers through the ages as examples of a spiritual warrior,  and according to the teachings Jesus was a representative of Divine Love. Though he faced many human temptations he chose the Divine Road, showing us how we are meant to live a spiritually driven life; to be a spiritual warrior. As an insurrectionist his teachings challenged the social and religious order. And, people of influence at that time feared his deviant and very empowering teachings that the kingdom of God is near at hand for all rather than only for a few

The message of Divine Mind

The message of today is that of Divine Mind, the wisdom of the heart, the wisdom of Love: the kingdom of Harmony is within everyone’s own heart and mind. 

When we are consciously motivated by Love, from our heart, we are a spiritual warrior. Mentally we are conscious of both personal love and unconditional love. 

We can feel in our heart what is both wise and loving. The ego and blind beliefs of the subconscious that wants to keep us enslaved to memories, superstitions and conditioning are released as we awaken to the illusion of their influence. 

Facing Temptations

As a spiritual warrior we will and do face 3 similar temptations like all Great Spiritual Teachers. They are as in these questions, asking us if we are willing to let the ‘me,’ the ego die in order to create our happiness and spiritual fulfillment:

  1. Do we hunger for fulfillment, but live by human bread alone?
  2. Do we doubt the All encompassing Eternal and our innate Divine nature?
  3. Do we get lost in the human world of challenges, glamour and desire for influence and power?

Apathy delays us. Doubt cripples our progress. And greed, pride, jealousy, fear and other subconscious, egotistic traits perverts us.

Being a Spiritual warrior

You live a spiritually driven life and are a spiritual warrior, when you consciously manifest both personal and unconditional Love. When you are conscious of the wisdom of your heart. When you listen to your Higher Self and intuition. When you consciously face temptations of anger, revenge, worry or fear with courage and Love. 

As a spiritual warrior – remember You are a powerful Being that has created this moment for yourself to remember your own inner authentic powers as a Universal Soul.

You are Strong, Wise, Sincere and Loving. And, You have the Creator, Divine Mind and Divine Love supporting You. 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:

“Mind, through his own mistakes due to Pride, at first destroyed his very life, but having REALIZED HIS MISDIRECTION starts to regenerate it, to rebuild it on a right basis.  MIND, WHEN MISAPPLIED, DEBASES LIFE; PROPERLY USED, EXALTS IT.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 40.

 

 

 

The Future is Present

Jungle Fern on Leaf refined

Clocks and calendars are a human, mental invention we created to help us organize for the future and comprehend how much time has past. In some other realms beyond our three dimensional one time does not exist as we humanly perceive it.

Through analogy we can get a hint of that even in our present consciousness – because the past, particularly the immediate past, can have a great impact on the present and the immediate future, especially when we bring the past with us mentally. 

This in turn, emphasizes the importance of the present moment and our conscious awareness of it. Dwelling on the past can keep us in habitual patterns of reliving past experiences  freezing our self-imagine, limiting us and keeping us circling in associated emotions. Or, we can worry about the future, anxious and afraid that things may happen similar to what may have occurred before. Our negative emotions draw more negative energy to us contributing to our current condition and we may carry that around with us, creating negative conditions in our future. 

It’s our opportunity to be mindful and in the moment, synchronizing body and mind. We have the chance to mentally release the negative of the ego and be conscious of and grateful for all the positive in our life. An opportunity to manifest sincerity, kindness, goodwill and love. Not only creating our happiness now because we are conscious of the positive energy and emotions in our life, but also because we carry it with us into what we call our future.

As we raise our consciousness by being mindful and in the moment, we awaken to more beauty and happiness. And, through the Law of Cause and Effect we build our future condition too! 

Every moment is loaded with spiritual potential that expands into our future and into higher realms that are meant for us!

“It is a very important thing that we should not keep Love unmanifested, but should at every opportunity disclose it, show it forth, manifest it, be it in a word, in a smile, in a look or in a handshake.”

Mindful in Nature: Power of Listening, Part 3

The Trees Sing

The leaves stir, moved by a gentle breeze,

Listen! There’s a voice of silence in-between,

The trees sing, as the breeze weaves the stories.

We are inspired by beautiful sunsets and sunrises. We look up into the night sky at the moon, stars and Milk Way and are amazed at the beauty and wonder of it. We are getting a glimpse of the Infinite and it inspires us.

Communing with Nature

By being in nature, mindful and consciously aware we are communing with All that is, the Great All. We commune through vibration, Universal Life Energy, chi. Every cell, every fiber, every mental and emotional frequency of our being resonances with Universal Life Energy in nature and it harmonizes us. In nature we naturally synchronize with the earth energies, reestablishing balance between our auric field and earth energies. Our emotional and mental vibrations rises. We are feeding our soul. Healing ourselves. 

And as we  resonant, we can gain access to the wisdom in nature.  Nature has a silent voice. And, we can hear it when we are quiet inside, mindful, open and receptive. How much we can hear is a matter of our state of consciousness. 

Being quiet and mindful, we can get inspirations through our Higher Self. It may be a mental voice, colors, music, visions, or understanding. 

We are interconnected with all natural life in its many varied forms. We can feel the energy and the way it effects us. For example, different crystals have different vibrations and frequencies.

Hold different crystals in your hand or to your ‘third eye’ and feel the different frequencies, the way it makes you feel or how it opens a door to your awareness.

Meditate under a tree and you may gain access to the tree consciousness.

The stream babbles, has many experiences, and you can get an impression of them.

The spirit of the mountain speaks and has great wisdom that relates to us. Listen.

A natural life

We can learn much from nature. The mountains, seas, plants and animals are not burdened by beliefs, religions and superstitions that condition us and separate us. They live a more natural life and in harmony with earth. They benefit from the strength, wisdom and growth of each other. And, only until very near the end of their earthly cycle do they begin to decline in strength and beauty.

 Connecting with Nature

Nature is the very air we breathe. The warmth of sunshine on our face. The beating of our heart.

Everyday one of the first things I do in the morning, weather permitting, is to go outside and raise my hands, my head and mind to lookup within to the Universe and open myself to the Great Father and Mother Nature. I consciously contact Universal Life Energy and open myself to receive It, mindful and return it according to Universal Law.

We commune. I am grateful. Love is close at hand.

The mountain speaks

mountain speaks 4 refined

The mountain speaks
Of the strength in stillness,
Being in the world but not of the human world
Where life and death means only life
Where winter is the promise of spring
Where cloudy days are eventually blown away
and
There is the light of unlimited stars always.

The spirit speaks
Of the disturbance in the mental winds
Of imposing now-not-rare microwaves
Of strange chemical rain.

The spirit whispers,
‘Walk softly on Mother Earth
She pulls you closer to your soul purpose
Grounds you in the present moment
Solidifies you in the law.’

‘Feel the power,
the pulse of life beneath your feet
That sparks your heart to beat.’

‘Be quiet….and listen
to life, the breeze in the the trees, the stream, the moon and stars,
Change is the way of the sun.

The Hidden value of humor in your spiritual practice and life

funny gif police
buzzfeed gif

LOL! We can do funny stuff. As we age we accumulate negative energy in the subconscious through conditioning and the choices we make. We race for another day and dwell on the past. It can make our heart feel heavy, anxious and stressed. A sense of humor can be overlooked in spiritual practice, but it has real value and power. 

The value of humor 

If you laughed at the video above you probably feel more energized, happy and relaxed. Spontaneous laughter can relieve pinned up stress and negative energy from our heart and subconscious ego.

Smiling and laughter is an instinctual form of emotional communication. Babies radiate positive energy, love and acceptance when they smile or laugh. 

With a sense of humor we can keep a balanced view of life. Everything is important and nothing is important. We enjoy a sense of wonder, where everything is interesting, never boring, and even humorous. 

 A sense of humor helps protect you

When we stumble we are tempted to be embarrassed, but with a sense of humor we can throw off negative energy like carelessness and see another side of it. Comedians can make us laugh at awful things we do. Have you ever giggled at a funereal or wake?

We instinctively laugh as a defense mechanism to mentally negate the possibility of emotional damage. It’s a protection against fear growing in our imagination and thinking because we are blocking negative suggestions and energy from entering our subconscious which could take root and grow – to come back and haunt us. A sense of humor can save us a lot of emotional troubles! 

Laugh therapy

Because of increased stress at work, some corporations hire laugh therapists to help their employees release tension, relax and function better. The therapists aren’t comedians, rather they induce laughter through emotional contagion.

The energy of spontaneous laughter jumps and spreads through the Law of Attraction! You’ve probably experienced being in a room of people and someone starts to laugh, then it spreads and you laugh too without even knowing the original trigger. Contagious laughter fosters unity in groups. And, we may spontaneously laugh to trigger laughter in others!

Harmful laughter?

I do this nervous laugh when I don’t know what to say, so I stall. I initially thought I was doing it to lighten the situation up. But, it’s sort of an unconscious ‘ughhhh…’ It can be misinterpreted by others and I have gotten into trouble because of it. I’ve been practicing being conscious and considerate when I am tempted to laugh nervously, since it is based in doubt and it can hurt others.

There’s also the fake laugh and ridicule laugh. A ridicule laugh is dangerous because it can kill an idea, even something we like. People that argue or debate use ridicule laughter to gain the upper hand, to humiliate, to kill something in us.

Let’s not forget the diabolical, cruel laugh; we are communicating that something is wrong, very, very wrong.

Freeing our heart

A sense of humor is a great gift that we can develop through the practice of wonder. Being mindful we recognize that everything is in a constant state of change and this moment won’t come again. We’re not ‘stiffs,’ frozen in the drama of self-righteousness. We’re free to see all sides of the situation.

A sense of humor enriches our life. It gives us a creative, positive disposition and we become more relaxed. In a relaxed state we live a more natural, loving life. 

Of course, the entire situation in the video above could be a setup and probably was just to get a laugh. If we laugh about it we feel better, it energizes us and our heart soars!

Becoming fearless in a scary world

Animated-Wallpapers-aura

Humanity as a general rule does not like to look at the evil in the world, our wrong, the terrible things we do. We want to talk about Love. We don’t want to talk about our negativity; it’s not a popular thing to talk about, write about, discuss. We’d rather ignore it for as long as possible until it causes us so much pain that we have to do something about it. It scares us. Yet, that is exactly what we have to look at.

We talk about Love so that we might be conscious of it and align with Love in our thoughts, emotions and behaviors. We talk about negativity so that we might be conscious of it, release it and align with unconditional Love. Doing both we learn to be fearless.

The Truth about evil

Is there evil in the world? … Yes. Why?… Because it is the collective and accumulated subconscious negative energy from all humanity. And, it is very contagious.

 We do evil things. We are not evil, we are temporarily insane. We’ve lost reasoning, logic, common sense, consciousness. We’ve fallen into a dark, dark hole. Into the subconscious ego of negative energy, that generates more negative thoughts and emotions of hate and fear.

It scares us

Deep inside we know that we are responsible for our own condition, our own creations of negative, evil. And that is very scary to us because we have to take responsibility for it and eventually do something about it.  

There is no little devil on our shoulder or satan making us do horrible things and giving us a reason to say, “The devil made me do it.” Nor, is there a vengeful, selective god.  The Great Causeless Cause is ubiquitous rather than selective. It is negative traits in our subconscious ego, which we created, that tempts us to do negative, harmful things. 

Unbelievable! 

It’s almost unbelievable how little we think of ourselves – and even fear about ourselves! The more I observe, it becomes evident that we unconsciously fear that we are incredibly powerful, incredibly creative, beautiful, loving. We fear it because it is unknown to us, that we wouldn’t know what to do with all that power and love. We’ve forgotten how beautiful and loving we are.

We doubt that we can love unconditionally. 

The Light on your spiritual journey 

Be brave. If we want to experience happiness, peace, become fearless and fulfill our soul purpose then we have to actually do something to harmonize ourselves. The more we try to understand the negative, the terrible things we as humans do the better. We face negativity so that we might release it.  

When you begin to feel scared consider staying there in uncomfortable. It takes practice for most of us to stay there and before we can release it. Uncertainly is the promise, the adventure, of life. And contrary to conventional belief it is also the promise of Love.

 There is the Light of Wisdom and Love upon Your path showing You the way! Love is the great harmonizer. We have the help of the Eternal backing us. And, we have the help of our fellow ‘man,’ and other Beings of Light radiating unconditional Love to us. 

Through Courage, Wisdom, Sincerity and most of all Love we become fearless. And a spiritual warrior. It’s very contagious! 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Green Art and what it does for You


Maybry Mills, VA refined

Green Art

Memories lost but residue still ripples life’s pond

Mind’s walls separate, while Love’s bridges tie together

Natural forces take us home to calm and peace, to the present untethered.


Even photos of nature can connect us with the calming frequencies in nature through our imagination and mental vibrations. We are made of the same stuff, but plants and animals live more in harmony with the Great Principle and the Laws of Nature. Everything in nature can inspire us! The energy in nature and Mother Earth energizes, renews us and helps raise our conscious frequency and awareness. 

What we can perceive

Many things speak to me through analogy in this setting. The natural plant growth, trees, rounded stones, ripples in the water and the endless, open sky. The ingenious human use of water, the split rail fence and stacked stone walls, and the reflection of the mill in the pond.  

It’s interesting that when we look at the reflection of the mill in the pond it appears upside-down to us. With water being a symbol of mind, it is an analogy that we can mentally perceive things in a polar condition, dual or upside-down. Yet, we can also perceive both the illusion and the cause, and know the difference.  We can see beyond the substance and feel the spirit and be inspired. 

The benefits

This setting calms me and I can rest in the serenity. Green plants in nature normally have a very healing energy with soothing vibrations, a quality of open living, abundance, growth and love. From the analogy of their presence, they are very connected to the Life of the Universe, Universal Life Energy, and rooted in the present moment of living their soul purpose. 

Interestingly, the heart chakra is associated with the frequency of the color green. With an open and tender heart we are abundant in love, giving and receiving love and life energy. In  a natural condition it is the center of our life; we feel through it. But, the heart chakra can become overburdened with subconscious negativity and become damaged. Being in nature can help cleanse, heal and inspire us because we are emotionally reconnecting with our natural heart state. 

We have house plants because they are alive and inspire us in more ways that providing oxygen. We line city streets with trees and make gardens on terraces. We cultivate an attitude of conservation of our forests, wildlife and oceans. Green is vital for our life!

The gift of art and what it does for You

I took this photo on the Blue Ridge Parkway in Virginia, USA. It’s called Mabry Mills and You are welcomed to use it for your own creativity and art. Creativity is a quality of Love.

Art is a creative expression, communication and statement. Art also gets us to think, ask questions, wonder. It can inspire us to be conscious of feeling something which manifests in our behavior. So, art can inspire us to create too! Great art inspires us to lookup within to our Higher Self and Love. 

One of my spiritual teachers gave a wonderful lesson on –I am the artist.’ Think about it! Creativity is a natural expression of our soul. It’s a self-help type of thing if we are conscious! 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Are You the artist? Are You inspired in some way by this scene? Comments and insights welcomed. Remember your Higher Self and Soul never hesitates!


Consider this quote to reflect upon:

“…through THE REALIZATION OF THE ABSOLUTE HERE NEAR US, CLOSE AT HAND, WE IDENTIFY OURSELVES WITH ALL ITS POWERS. There is nothing closer to us than the Great Principle, because out of Its Own Self has It created us and IN IT WE LIVE, MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING.”
