Disastrous control from infancy!

March 2, 2026February 3, 2026 by Circlelightbearer, posted in Liberating Your Soul, Mindfulness, shaping your reality

Greetings Lightbearers!

Have you seen 2 year old toddlers display the strange behavior of walking away from the protection of their parents in places like a mall? I have. And I recognize the attitude within myself and you will too when you examine it closer.

We are controlled and programed from infancy. Then our mental conditioning continues as we age into toddlerhood, kindergarten and school. We’re told what to do, when to do it and how to do it. What attitudes and behaviors to display. We are conditioned for compliance to attitudes and behaviors, usually for our own good to reinforce our survival.

Yet, we all desire Freedom from all the programming, from complications, strife and the heavy burdens of humanity. We all want the same things: health, happiness, peace and love.

Even toddlers desire Freedom!

But, we have been unknowingly conditioned to be a slave to the subconscious ego from a very, very early age. We are addicted to circling in guilt, desire, worry …..trapped in thoughts …..controlled by the ego.

Yet deep down there is something within that wants Freedom. And we may exercise our freedom in ways that can be disastrous ….. like driving too fast…. lashing out at people that don’t agree with our self-righteousness ….indulging in porn, binge eating, or other dangerous activities.

Yet we are usually unaware that it is still just programming of the subconscious. Why? Because the body also becomes programmed with these memories. There are many types of memories programmed in the body…. like evolutionary and genetic karma, personal karma, and habits.

So what can we do to claim our Freedom?

Remember freedom is based in Truth.

First, we can allow ourselves to be conscious and honest about any programming we experience. The Truth gets us everywhere.

Second, consciously release egotistic programming. That is move to #3, rise above programming.

And third, work in the moment to be FourSquare: Be enthusiast and intelligent, along with displaying integrity and compassion, thereby aligning with the Great Principle and our Soul. Thus we gain our Freedom from the subconscious ego’s programming to reveal our Real Self and Soul.

The sense of it

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Butterfly Wisdom: Poetry, shaping your reality

New Zealand PSLB

While floating on the surface of this instance, a soft breeze of joy and happiness caress my face with hope of inner peace.

But the sense of human existence and mournful sounds of painful memories cause me to sink with heavy chains of guilt.

Guilt pulls me further under, and I descend into darkness.

I struggle to survive and to rise to the surface of Light.

I’m wild with fear of death and full of doubt that the soft breeze continues even now without me.

Finally surrender becomes a conscious inevitability. . . And dumping more illusionary trash in the darkness is halted.

With quiet alertness in the instance, a path to joy and softness of inner peace becomes apparent.

And I need only choose it.

Illusions of self vengeance are gone. And only Truth of Now is evident.

“Seems so” consideration

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Practices, shaping your reality

As we consciously travel our spiritual journey we seem to be presented with many dualities or obstacles that challenge our progress.These choices or obstacles appear conflicted between good and bad or helpful and not helpful causing stagnation/decline.

And I’ve found that the one that raises red flags of caution is when I’m feeling I ‘should‘ choose one pole over another!

I’ll ask myself why am I feeling anxious. Is it because subtle guilt is attached to mortal programming or is it fear? There’s a payoff of pleasure for a particular choice or fear of the alternative. It’s a want or not want thing.

Yet let us remember that our spiritual journey is all about Freedom, primarily freedom from the subconscious ego and its traits, programming and obligations. We can always suspend any choice until another opportunity presents itself with greater options.

Yet any choices that appear in duality can be resolved with a deep spiritual intent to use the FourSquare as guidance, using All Energy, Intelligence, Law and Love balanced in your choice. Then surrendering it to the Great Principle, knowing that things will workout according to the Great Law.

Every decision consideration

February 2, 2026 by Circlelightbearer, posted in shaping your reality

Every decision you make is a reflection of what you think about yourself.

And it comes to “Know thyself” doesn’t it?

Is it a decision to benefit the ego or soul?

It hurts so good!

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Meditations and Exercises, Mindfulness, Practices, shaping your reality

It’s all happiness to know that anything that was horrific in the past is gone. It’s logical. Yeah, we tend to cling to evil in memories and perceived injustices that others must pay for.

It’s the ego that clings to the illusion that the past is still now because it serves a purpose. The past is a place to lay blame for our pain and disappointments. For our wounded self-esteem.

The ego seeks retribution for offenses. Seeks vengeance. And even though we want to place blame on someone else, it returns to us as guilt. And because of guilt, inner condemnation, the ego demands vengeance on ourselves!

Yet how could we experience guilt without our own alliance with the past and with the ego?

How do we escape this vicious cycle?

These are questions we can ask ourselves to begin to be conscious and sane, instead of circling in the past, bringing it to the present with guilt and repeated thought patterns.

In the present moment, in the Silence, we can recognize our freedom and Inner beauty. We need only make a small effort, spiritual intent to pause, take a deep breath, come to the moment mentally and be silent.

And a wave of gratitude can lift us into a higher level of consciousness and energies that brings us more freedom from the illusions of the ego. And we are happier.

This tiny step in our attitude and mental intent for Silence in the moment offers freedom. And the Great Law helps us expand and you can actually feel Universal Life Energy physically and/or mentally. You are communicating with The Universe!

In that instance is peace and love. The Truth is constantly now.

In the hope that you find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Witness the End of guilt

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Meditations and Exercises, shaping your reality

We sometimes feel very guilty and it hurts our heart! No matter how hard we try it’s usually difficult to forget about because it circles and returns.

But we can witness the end of guilt within us.

The Truth of It

The egotistic, human mind is attracted to guilt! Many of us believe we should feel guilty because we blame our self. But guilt, blame, shame are conditioned expectations programmed in the subconscious by long standing beliefs.

We are programmed to expect guilt and choose guilt over forgiveness and release. Even when we blame someone else, it returns to us like a boomerang and it attracts more blame and feelings of guilt.

The ego thrives on guilt, using guilty thoughts and emotions to ensure its survival. Survival at all costs, even at the cost of our happiness, health and life.

However, guilt is a belief of the ego and just by taking a step towards truth, acknowledging that guilt is a belief, it begins to leave us.

Guilt is not Truth or else it would be never ending and there would be no happiness. Truth begins to free us of the burden of guilt.

Truth is eternal. The Truth is we are made of Love…It holds us together, our cells, mind and emotions. Love within us is in a state of harmony and doesn’t even see guilt because it is not a loving quality. Guilt is an illusion and doesn’t exist in Love.

Love does see Truth and attracted to Truth, but not guilt. Love has no guilt in it, but fear does. And fear is attracted to guilt, but not Truth. Fear has no love in it.

The ego is attracted to guilt. It urges us, demands us, expects us to choose guilt because of belief in it, blame and fear.

You can choose to release any temptation of guilt, by seeing the truth of what guilt is, by letting it go, releasing it to the Light of Truth and Love. Guilt is of the past. The past is gone, now is all there is.

But if you do ever feel guilt rise up into your consciousness

Feel the sensations of guilt in the body, usually as twisting in the stomach area. Just feel without judgmental analysis. Those sensations of guilt will eventually run out of your body. The feeling served a purpose in helping you become conscious of something to release for your own benefit and the betterment of all. Thus you can release guilt and blame and focus instead on gratitude, Inner strength, intelligence, spiritual integrity and love.

Love Truth and you Love yourself, for You are the Lightbearer of Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love. And you are free and wise to choose Peace and happiness rather than deserving of guilt.

You can witness the end of guilt. And be the witness of the Power and Love that You are.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“Our conscious self must learn the lessons of Love. Our Higher Self does not need to learn it. Our subconsciousness all the time emanates hatred into our consciousness. It has no Love in it.”

Instant Peace and Harmony

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Practices

Sometimes we can be tormented by the continuous thinking and dwelling in negative traits like regret, anxiety, and craving. We don’t like it or want it, but we can’t seem to stop ourselves. Yet, we can consciously choose ….

the HARMONIZATION exercise. It is the most beneficial practice I’ve experienced that brings calm, peace and expansion into happiness. And this opportunity is always available in an instant!

Begin with Relaxation and Silence in which you open your body and mind to the influx of Universal Life Energy, the harmonizing Power of the Universe ….. And it leads to a greater awareness of your connection and Oneness with Universal Consciousness and Divine Love ….. where we are guaranteed Peace and Harmony.

“No circumstances even of the utmost danger can disturb” the calm and peace of mind and emotions when you enter Harmonization:

“After you have relaxed, entered into Silence and made the Contact with Universal Life Energy, concentrate on the Love Aspect of that Force from which Peace and Harmony spring.
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 380.

Allow yourself to trust the Supreme Power and let inspiration draw you into the core of your Spiritual Heart and your innate Oneness with Infinite Harmony. …..”it makes you master over yourself.”

It’s simple and this can be achieved in an instant, in any moment.

Be willing to pause and consciously reconnect with Unconditional Love ….. with that which you are already.

Being willing is very different from using the human, egotist will. The human will is the petulant demands of the ego’s narcissistic wants. When you are willing you lovingly trust, surrender and deliver yourself into the arms of Divine Love. You allow yourself to experience in your present physical form the Divine that you are and are open to infinite possibilities.

It’s a paradox; an effortless phenomenon of duality/unity. And NOW becomes an exquisite moment of enjoyment, happiness and harmony that expands and grows into future possibilities.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“There can be no compromise with Love. It is an Impersonal Force, All-Pervading, All-Powerful, Supreme. No human Will can affect in the slightest the Power that holds the Universe in its grip. If you accommodate yourself with it, you will reap all the advantages that such a Strength can achieve.”
Eugene Fersen, The Fundamental Principles of Science of Being, page 380.

Anxiety the night before work? 5 Simple Self-Love Practices

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Power of Emotion, shaping your reality, World & Self Development: Terrorism, ....

Sometimes we dread going to work, feeling a bit anxious about what we have to face. Yet, try to remember and be grateful that your Inner Being is altering you to take notice!

You can recognize these uncomfortable emotions, release them, and choose a different path to build your happiness!

So, if you are tempted to feel anxious consider these simple practices:

If conditions are agreeable, go outside and look up at the sky, the clouds and universe, drinking it in. You are an eternal Being, One with Source. Be totally in the moment and enjoy it fully, appreciating the Freedom and expansion into the Infinite.
Moving, dancing or just pausing and taking some deep breaths releases endorphins in your brain to help change your emotions and attitudes for the better. Give it at least 90 seconds to kick in ….. You will be amazed at how it helps!
Do not compromise with anxiety! Just notice uncomfortable sensations without labeling because you can end up circling in those thoughts and going downhill. Instead, just feel the bodily sensations fully, letting them run out. Make Declarations of Truth, something like, “I am not subject to such temptations because I am an Infinite Being unified with All Energy, Intelligence, Truth and Love. I am Spirit with a body and am Loved Unconditionally and I have this wonderful opportunity to Love Unconditionally as the Eternal does. Life is full of opportunities for my happiness and for others.”
Just before sleep set a purpose of rising in the morning with a positive attitude. Visualize yourself working with enthusiasm, having genius insights, sincerity in your heart, cooperation and gratitude …. You are training the subconscious to work for your happiness!
Be kind to yourself! Remember uncomfortable feelings are reminding you to be conscious, aware and Loving! Give yourself moments of Silence and contact Universal Life Energy to shift your consciousness. I do the Star Exercise and mentally realize, saying, “I am One with Source manifesting all the same qualities of Energy, Intelligence, Sincerity and Love.” That Divine Energy, Universal Life Energy harmonizes body, mind and emotions, elevating you to higher frequencies.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

“Your Purpose in life is to realize in fact the perfect Individuality within. Personality is the door through which the real YOU can emerge. Self knowledge, an intelligent understanding both of yourself and of the World outside, is your key to open the door.”

5 simple ways to transcend a ‘bad’ day

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in Keys to Happiness, Practices, shaping your reality

All of us can feel like we are having a bad day at one time or another!

When I asked a stressed parent what their top way to turn a bad day around they said, “to drop the kids off at the grandparents!” Made me giggle because I understand that logic!

Kids or no kids, know that you have the Power to transcend what the ego experiences as a “bad day!”

#1. Pause, take a deep breath!

So simple and effective to reclaim your connection with Life and the Source of All Power. You are resetting your body’s energies and your mind’s too!

With that pause and deep breath you are drawing in the Life of the Universe! And It will help you recenter in your Inner confidence to work out things for the best outcome.

As you exhale your body will automatically release some stress and begin to relax, along with your thinking. Stress is based in fear on the mental/emotional levels, so choosing to pause is choosing to recenter mentally in calm rather than negative opinions.

In that calm is the opportunity to deliberately synchronize your thinking and body body with Infinite Harmony ….. Make the Mental Contact with Universal Life Energy and let it flow. Be in the flow, in the vortex of harmonious Life.

#2. Move!

Walk to a different location to be in different atmospheric energies and move your auric energies. Walking can disperse hormonal chemicals related to stress and even soothe neurons in the brain.

Research has shown walking in nature is even better, decreasing anxiety as we synchronize with those natural energies.

If you notice your body language says aggravated or weak, elevate it! Bring your shoulders back and head up into a natural upright position which will also help you synchronize with your innate, confidence and strength.

#3. Change the story you’ve been telling yourself.

Pause in your thinking and mentally relax, becoming quiet, calm and the watcher of the thinker.

Recognize what is going right in your day. The moment you choose a loving thought you are realigning with Harmony and your natural state!

Remember you are an Infinite Being of Light and not subject to attachment to fears like worry and resentment habits. Observe in a detached state, releasing any temptation to think more, labeling and identifying with negative opinions.

You are a Light and Love Being! You, as an Infinite Soul, express all the same qualities as the Eternal: Life, Intelligence, Law and Love.

#4. Remember challenges point to opportunities to heal!

As in the quote below, effect points to the cause! And what we mentally focus on tends to manifest. So we can transcend karma by lifting and transcending our mental level of consciousness ….. that is we can deliberately transcend stress in the moment and in our life.

Through our intent we can express Harmony. It is mapped out for us as the FourSquare. By expressing in our attitudes and behaviors: Enthusiasm, Intelligence, Sincerity and Love we raise our consciousness and transcend ‘bad day’ attitudes.
Tweet

And contacting Universal Life Energy can also helps us be conscious of those inner qualities and express them.

#5. Choose happiness!

We choose what to anchor the mind and our thinking in! Choose happiness! Deliberately choose higher levels of consciousness like Optimisium, meaningful Reason, unconditional Love, All the FourSquare!
Tweet

Gratitude can help. Once you recognize one reason to be grateful, I’ve found that many, many more become obvious to us! And this lifts our consciousness.

*****

Once our human mind starts to identify a day as ‘bad’ it tends to circle in negative thinking, monkey chatter. Yet, we can choose the way of happiness!

Consider Your Real Value

Featured by Circlelightbearer, posted in shaping your reality

Every decision you make is a reflection of what you think about yourself; your self perception and value.

We are eternal, powerhouses of harmonious Spirit. And the greatest happiness is ours, but we have repeatedly belittled ourselves and believe it in this earthly reality.

Thus when faced with a decision, it is an opportunity to ask ourselves in a moment of silence: ‘Is this choice serving the limits of the ego or magnitude of Spirit?’

Does it feel contracting and binding or expanding and freeing?

This practice helps us realize we will not be content with anything that belittles us! And that we are Eternal power houses of joy and happiness.

Kindly see the Beauty and Love of Spirit in everyone else too, for they are a reflection of ourselves. Remember if we belittle them we belittle ourselves which we will not be content with.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB
