We can disregard the soul, but disregard the body and the body dies
Mortal man, earthly death comes through the human mind
Humans not realized Man, the Laws of Life we cannot comprise
Mortal to Immortal Man: deeper into Matter, Higher into Spirit, man redefined.
Comments welcomed – what’s your take?
We reveal the beauty of our soul when we are sincere and open ourselves to the tenderness of our heart and love. When we see the good and beauty in others and think well of them, even when we see the negative too. When give of ourselves in service for our partners, our children, our parents, our friends and others. When we do acts of kindness. When we create works of encouragement and caring through our words, our actions and our constructions. When are truly grateful. When we are at peace. When we are present and are just being.
We reveal the beauty of our soul unconsciously in every part of us, every minute cell of us. Yet, we normally are not conscious of that beauty, of love. We fear it, thinking it a weakness rather than strength. Yet…
No one else can do it for You.
In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
“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 the very Foundation of Love which Nature gave you at birth.”
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 394.
Thank You
It has been an enlightening year for me and I hope it has for You too.
I am grateful for all of the help and inspirations I have received from many sources, including You, and for the support of the One Source.
With the help of the Great Law we will continue on our spiritual journey, in pursuit of revealing a bit more Light of our Soul everyday.
I appreciate all the comments that You have made this year and hope You make more in the upcoming posts! It helps us all.
“Truth never destroys anything. It is fundamentally a creative Power.
Today is Truth. Tomorrow is a belief in something. ”
“We have that longing and yearning within us to go back to the Father, to the Absolute, and whenever we find a channel through which we can achieve that return to Him, a channel opened by Love, we are only too glad to use it, because it is the inmost desire of our heart, it is the love of our Soul.”
Until the New Year’s entry consider this quote to reflect upon:
“Sincerity, which is a form of Truth, is a rare thing on Earth. It is Truth passing through the Door of Love.”
Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 145.
Okay, you may not like this entry, or at least the ego may not. It can sting.
Most of us are dissatisfied with who we are or the way we are. We don’t trust ourselves, and even think we’re a terrible person at times. We’re also impatient in our dissatisfaction, but we’ve got our pride. We cannot change into something different, transcend this unwanted personality until we get a good look at it.
The personality is primarily created by the subconscious ego. We allow ourselves to be dominated by the ego which is self-serving, fearful and dualistic. We create a troubled reality because of it.
To regain control over our lives, our personality and create a more positive reality, we must be mindful and conscious in the moment – in a state of consciousness that we take responsibility for. But, the ego doesn’t want us to be conscious, mindful, or listen to our intuition and discriminate – it’s self-centered like that! We battle our conscience. It’s a vicious cycle.
How Did We Get Here?
The subconscious is our storage box of memories, thoughts, desires, and habitual emotional traits like fear, doubt, worry, loneliness, shame, and resentment. We’ve been conditioned to follow its dictates. It is a major factor in shaping our personality, or parts thereof, that we are dissatisfied with. We identify ourselves with subconscious traits and emotionally empower them as behaviors! “I’m mad, I’m lonely, I’m ashamed.”
The ego lacks discrimination and supports ignorance. After centuries of history repeating itself we should be able to see the truth in that. We don’t know ourselves. But, we must know ourselves in order to free ourselves of those parts that cause us pain and suffering.
Our personality, our reality, is something we created and agreed to. Fortunately, even from the darkness of the subconscious ego, it is our destiny to evolve and harmonize ourselves and become fully empowered.
It is our deepest desire and hope to align our personality with our soul. As we courageously make a conscious intent and live the qualities of love like consideration, kindness and caring we bit by bit gain control of our life, transforming our personality. As we consciously release negative egotistic traits we integrate personality and soul, becoming beings of Light here on earth. We transform our reality.
We may still experience pain, because we all suffer, but our inner happiness, peace and joy are not dependent on it.
The ego dislikes such information, but I hope you got a smile out of it!
“… Lucifer typifies the human mind with all its errors and limitation. This name has been ground in the mire and dirt for centuries but only through the regeneration of mind can improvement come.”

It’s incredible! You wouldn’t expect a rose to bloom in the winter months in the Northern Hemisphere, but it can! This rose is in the front of my abode and continues to bloom, even with the weather turning colder as the season progresses.
The beauty of a rose or anything in nature touches something inside us emotionally. That is because we feel the vibrational attraction of love. The energy of the earth has the essence of beauty and love. And, expresses the nature and attraction of love in uncountable ways.
And, we are attracted to it. It can melt our cold heart.
As our heart melts, our consciousness rises. Love can do that, bring out the tenderness of our heart and we become conscious of love.
It’s indicative of finding Love close at hand when we allow ourselves to experience beauty. And beauty is evident in a rose!

“Accept Love as something normal.”
Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 69.
We can be complainers. It’s a pattern with most of us. We see someone’s faults and we complain about them when it affects us. Unbeknownst to us however, when we complain about others faults we are aligning with the same energy we are complaining about! Complaining about them weakens us.
We complain about the weather, the traffic, the government, and awful people. We’ve taken it personal!
Complaining says that we’re frustrated and feel like we’re inadequate to deal with it. Feeling powerless, we want to blame our aggravation on conditions or others and feel like a victim. We propagate reasons to procrastinate and avoid responsibility even if we could do something.
We’re miserable and miserable to be around.
Complaining keeps us dwelling on the negative, reinforcing it – attracting the very thing we are complaining about!
Most of us are unconscious of how much we complain because we can make such a habit of it. We may think we are just repeating what everyone else thinks or said, that we’re just venting, or maybe we feel like it is right to complain – like it’s an observation and we’re right!
But, like any thought, emotion or behavior, complaining is a real creative manifestation. And, therefore we are creating negative energy in our own reality! Plus, we attract more negative energy to us through the Law of Attraction. We create a less rewarding life, a less satisfying and happy one. And, eventually even our health can be adversely effected.
The emotional energy behind the complaint is also contagious! That low-frequency energy can spread first to those close to us like our family and friends trapping them too, making them feel frustrated and even powerless. They start to complain like we do. Or, our habitual complaining can push others away, affecting our relationships and our job.
Fortunately, we can break the complaining habit!
1. Be Conscious/Mindful
First of all, we have to be conscious of complaining, have a positive intent to recognize that we are tempted to complain, or that we have complained! Be ‘the watcher of the thinker’ and observe unattached, without harsh judgement and taking things personal.
2. Take Responsibility
Being conscious in that moment is when we are becoming aware of our authentic power as a soul. We are consciously taking responsibility for ourselves.
I ask myself a simple question that I have shared before to help me recognize my true motivation: Am I coming from a place of fear or love?
3. Let it Go
When we recognize the temptation to complain or even that we have complained, then we still have the opportunity to let that thought go – to mentally step back from it. The ego may also want us to feel guilty or even hate our self, but is an illusion, because it too is only a temporary temptation and not from our true Self.
4. Choose a Positive Motivation/Emotion
In that moment of temptation to complain we can see it as an opportunity to choose an attitude coming from love instead of fear. Our attitude is emotional power and fearful ones of complaining hold us in that energy, making us feel even more unhappy and despondent.
Calm consideration lightens our load. Kindness does. Gentleness does. Appreciation does. Respect does. Seeing the good in others helps us! We free ourselves to search for solutions.
Sometimes we really don’t have any control over things, like the weather. Then we can change our focus to gratitude! Gratitude is an emotion that opens us to abundance and creates more reasons to be grateful!
We are far more familiar with the ego than the tenderness of our heart and inner love. Yet, when we are conscious of ourselves, our inner love, we can also be conscious of the temptation to complain without being negativity influenced by it. And, we don’t take complaints personally, or let it hurt our ego because we are centered in love.
Consider being conscious of any temptation to complain and use the steps described above for the next 3 weeks and you will have established a new brain pattern that changes your reality!
We can change our mind, our attitude and our reality!

“If we complain of hardships, we may have them later.”

Your comments and insights are welcomed and appreciated! Our Higher Self never hesitates!
It is only in the present moment that we experience anything!
And, experiencing the moment is our life – in it we create our reality.
If we spend this moment thinking about what to do next, hurry up and finish this or what happened yesterday we are squandering our life. If we spend it trapped in subconscious traits of worry, anger, loneliness, and fear we are squandering now. We are creating a reality to sleepwalk in.
Our happiness is in this moment. Even if we remember happy moments in the past or possible ones in the future we are squandering now. Our obsession with time is a tool of the subconscious ego that feeds itself.
Connecting with Nature and enjoying the beauty of Mother Nature helps us remember our own inner beauty and helps us connect with Now. Any beauty, does when we recognize it and emotionally connect through love (beauty is a quality of love).
Thus, the mind being dominated by love helps us consciously reconnect with our Superconsciousness, our intuition and inner wisdom, which opens us to a vast expanding universal consciousness of which is Love.

“It is Mind which, when misused debases Life, and it is the problem of mind to regenerate Life, through the proper use of Knowledge.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 247.
The beauty of a rose tells us that love is natural. It is beautiful to us because we have within us that same beauty – the beauty of Love – and we are touched by it’s soft and tender expressions. It’s color, its shape, its texture, and its fragrance says love.
Love makes us stronger, but the subconscious ego wants to deny that and turn it upside down.

“The seasons of our life are different units of life, and each opportunity carries with itself the different seasons, they are indissolubly connected one with another.
In the Summer there is opportunity to increase the creation; in the Fall there is opportunity to gather the creation, and in the Winter is the opportunity to spend properly that, which as be gathered.
Now this is Life and how lovely and how interesting it is according to the Four Seasons.” Eugene Fersen
I’ve been meditating a bit about life and death and am grateful that I have made it thus far in my life, age wise and experience wise, etc. I’m now more conscious of the seasons of my life having gained some perspective and insights. I am coming to the peace of feeling that death will be another step in life and a joyous time, with the help of the Great Principle.

Your insights and comments are always welcome too!
Chaotic water swills in the present, but what effect will it have?
How far will the effects reach?
How does it affect You now?
Sometimes our lives can be a bit chaotic! Maybe a bit more than we would like to admit. And, though we may not know the deep reason for the chaos, there is some rhyme and reason to it.
Chaos is natural element in nature like air turbulence, the weather, and even our mental states. It’s like the beating of a butterfly’s wings.
The butterfly wings beat the air and the effects may be felt as a hurricane later somewhere across the world. We don’t know if that’s true, but the butterfly wings beats definitely cause a real effect.
The same is true of every thought we have, every emotion, every behavior. We stir things up, creating chaos.
The nature of chaos is complex, yet through some understanding we can better prepare ourselves in the moment. Even though time appears to be linear, our life is nonlinear. The present moment is interconnected to the past and future. Still our body is only in the present moment, so synchronizing mind with body consciously sets us up for opportunities to create a harmonious and happy life. By being conscious in the moment we can avoid those elements that may be detrimental to our well-being and attract those that are beneficial.
It’s full of surprises and unexpected situations.
Yet, the idea of the unexpected in our life can be beautiful and even help us organize our life. It can help simplify our life.
Knowing that life is fractal and can be chaotic gives us some insights, and opens a door to deeper understanding with compassion for ourselves. We may not consciously know the effects of what we are doing this very moment. Yet, when we do the right thing, that is we are living our authentic power with intelligence, truth and love, then we will draw a ‘like’ effect because of the Universal Law of Cause and Effect and Law of Attraction which are uncompromising. The effects can be much more far reaching than we may ever know.
What we may consider an inconsequential thought or behavior may lead to major effect. It’s a pay it forward type of thing. What we do now, this very moment, may have far reaching effects around the world sooner or later. We are all connected to each other and to the Universal Laws that work in-conjunction. What we think this very moment may nudge someone else to open their heart or mind, and it spreads to those around them, then to their community and eventually it may spread around the world. That’s power!
So our opportunity as a soul is to BE. To BE and radiate in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors – enthusiasm, intelligence, truth and most of all Love. This is our authentic power as a soul and it is that much more powerful because of being one with All Spirit.
We have the greatest asset we can ever have – the help of the Great Principle. We can Trust that when we do the right thing in this moment, the most wise and tender hearted, then the Universal Laws work out the effect harmoniously!
And if there is anything that chaos teaches us it is – to expect the unexpected! It teaches us to live in the moment fully and to be mindful. To be grateful for now. To be grateful that we don’t know what’s next, otherwise there would be nothing to look forward to! There would be no adventure.
Life is an adventure. Life is fractal. It’s simple! There is some rhyme and reason even in chaos.

Consider this quote to reflect upon:
“The Great Principle is the One Point. There is nothing more simple than a point. At the same time the Great Principle is a Sphere. There is nothing more perfect, complete, and at the same time more simple than a sphere. It is perfection in absolute simplicity.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 22.
