4 square reasons the Star Exercise is a spiritual lifeline

“I am One with Universal Life Energy. I feel It flowing through me now.”

#1 – Life

When you perform the Star Exercise You are contacting spiritual energy; UNIVERSAL LIFE ENERGY from the Source.  

You become a living magnetic! As Magnetic Energy Universal Life Energy energizes and refreshes every cell in your body, clears and balances your thinking, and lifts you into higher realms of soul awareness.

The physical element of the contact makes it easy. It works because it is based on the physical Law of Attraction. Your soul, heart and Life Center is attracting the LIFE ENERGY  from the Universe.

We are made of this energy, but we are unconscious of it and therefore do not derive as much benefit from it as we could. Since we made our original mistake on the mental level with ingratitude, impatience and ignorance, then we must reconnect mentally and an I am declaration of Truth used in addition to the physical position helps us open ourselves.

#2 – Light

You are bringing your presence to the essence of the Source and also contacting Universal Life Energy as Mental Vibrations. 

It lights you with finer frequencies of mental energies. And your thoughts become charged with this energy making them even more magnetic and they become Mind Force! 

You become more conscious, better able to discriminate and aware of your intuition. At the same time It shrinks the subconscious ego. 

A big bonus is when you focus on feeling the energy in your hand you become aware, conscious, and present in the moment. Mindful. Mindfulness stops the ego from circling in thought; stops the continuous monkey chatter, worry, guilt or depression. 

And for me, mindfulness enhances meditation and silence. I relax and become calm. Better able to meditate. I’ve become more mindful during the day and more understanding in my relationships.

At work you may notice that your focus improves and you have more stamina.

#3 – Liberty

As you become more mindful and conscious, you will discover that with discrimination you are freer. You begin to live more from the higher aspects of your heart lead by Love.

You see more opportunities for harmony, especially in mistakes. That is because you are aligning with the Universe, with the Laws of the Universe and with the harmony of the Source. You gradually align with harmony, not only through the energy, but also through the lingering mindfulness. 

More and more, as you gradually build on your consciousness and spiritual awakening, you create your own freedom in your reality. You create your physical, mental and especially emotional freedom. Freedom from worry, hurry and fear. The ego gets weaker as your unique, spiritual character strengthens. 

#4 – Love

You are also contacting Spiritual Energy direct from the Source. 

The soul vibrations refine your consciousness into what we may call Superconsciousness, and you become more conscious of your Self as a soul. You begin to balance all of your authentic soul powers of Strength, Wisdom, Sincerity and Love.

You begin to consciously balance yourself in the Universal Laws and align with them. You begin to experience The Laws of Gender, Cause and Effect, Polarity and Rhythm as the Law of Unity, Harmony. 

Spirit

You may notice small changes at first, yet as you persevere and continue making the contact everyday you will experience big changes. I’ve found my spiritual practice deepen, become more inspiring, inclusive and loving. 

I had a very difficult young life. After performing the Star Exercise for 40 years, my life continues to blossom as a great blessing. I am so grateful for the energy, wisdom, inspirations and most of all Love. 

When I look back it seems I’ve experienced so much spiritual unfoldment, yet I know I’ve barely begun the adventure! I’ve had wonderful spiritual teachers for which I am also grateful. Everyone is my spiritual teacher and companion, including You.

In the present moment I know that my Higher Self and soul is my great guide and who I am.  It may be the same for You.

“And the mysterious sign, the Pentagram, becomes indeed a KEY TO ALL POWERS, as it unlocks and brings forth in Man all his latent powers and forces. It is when the human body takes the position as show in the diagrams following that the actual contact of the life energy within is made with the Universal Life energy without. And a man’s physical, mental, and emotional development will be thus stimulated by an ever increasing Force.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, pp. 64-5. 

Contacting Universal Life Energy
The Star Exercise


3 surprising self-defeating patterns you may not recognize, and one is wanting enlightenment!

1. Being a nice person!

You may disagree with this. I did in my earlier years!

My spiritual teacher helped me spot my ego creating a persona of a nice person, but below the surface I was in a conditioned state of fear of being unacceptable and disliked, rather than truly being conscious of myself, others or circumstances. On some level the nice person self-concept I had created was a means of self protection, but I was also afraid that I was unlovable!

We can create a nice person persona to hide behind, but we can end up discrediting ourselves because we think we are not good enough. In fear we can get fixed and stay in that condition state, closing our hearts and trapping our minds!

The easiest way that I know to open our hearts and minds is to be sincere. Truly sincere. And when we feel truly sincere within then we will project sincerity in our attitudes and behaviors. It may not always appear nice, because we may not give a dollar to those looking for a handout or stop traffic to let another car cross over the lanes at a heavy intersection. But we will be loving, kind, and have an attitude of goodwill because sincerity opens us to our heart and the Love within.

2. Pursuing happiness.

It can be inspiring to have something to look forward to, but when it comes to desiring happiness, if we are always pursuing happiness that is all we will do – pursue. For most of us, even when we do achieve happiness, it is fleeting. We set new goals and are in desire mode again, looking for happiness. Happiness is always in the future. We don’t enjoy the moment.

This can also true of pursuing enlightenment. Until we release the mental concept of enlightenment being something in the future, something separate from our physical and mystical life now, then we will always be pursing enlightenment.

Realizing the condition of the human mind helps free us, enlightens us. The heart does. We become the observer of the thinker, bringing us out of the subconscious ego into a higher consciousness.  We  can relax in silence and release desire, desire for happiness, and even enlightenment. 

When we live in the higher aspects of our heart rather than our mind we can just Be. Be in peace. Be in Love. Be in a higher consciousness. 

3. Pushing a little too hard. 

It’s a no pain, no gain attitude! When we become ‘true’ believers in the rightness of our way, then the opposition is energized. We push, complain and protest being motivated by fear and a feeling of powerlessness. We become the cause behind the opposition!

And, in our self-righteousness we can become stuck in that energy. We end up experiencing loathing from within ourselves and from others. And, we can judge ourselves, our ideals and our spiritual journey harshly.

The Law of Polarity or duality, as the human mind perceives it, pushes back hard in the opposite direction of our desire. We humanly perceive the Law of Polarity as opposition  rather than a blending of energies and the compassion of the universe awakening us to our conditioning and concepts.

When I face opposition, I think of it as the ego’s perception of duality and that all energies blend. It is an indication that it is an opportunity to realize “I am” strong, intelligent, sincere, loving and most of all One with the Source, the Great All.

Consider taking the middle road without getting attached to any ‘one’ way. Listening to my intuition has lead me to depths and heights I never expected! In silence you can feel that your intuition it is a reflection from your heart! And, the higher energies of your heart are lead by Love.

When you want to do something harmoniously from your heart say and feel, “With the help of the Great Principle I will.”

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB


“Like protects like. But if we want to get rid of disharmony, then Harmony will help us.”

Eugene Fersen, Pearls of Wisdom, Teachings by Eugene Fersen, Volume I, pages 234-5. 

 

It hurts so good: The beauty of pain; it’s not for the faint of heart

Behind pain is a mental cause. Mental disturbances can cause emotional anguish and physical illness, yet pain is also a wake-up call, especially when we are conscious of our potential for harmony! A spiritual journey is not for the faint of heart.

Pain is the teacher!

When we are hurting, physical or emotional pain is revealing that we are in the mist of disharmony. Yet, there is beauty in pain. Pain reminds us that Harmony is our natural condition. And, we consciously seek harmony when we experience pain. In the mist of disharmony we seek to align with Harmony.

When we are sick something is wrong that stems from the human mind. We co-create our reality with our thoughts, emotions and behaviors, but we unconsciously dwell so much of our time in ancient subconscious human fear. Any mental disturbance in our life can cause us to circle in that fearful energy. We form false, painful beliefs about ourselves. “I am worried, I am mad.” And it manifests physically in our emotions and body. 

Fortunately, the Law of Attraction compassionately reveals negative energy you are burdened with when you feel physical pain, when you feel emotional pain, when you feel justified for a resentful, jealous or impatient attitude towards someone or guilty and depressed within.

Mindful moment

Notice your thoughts and feelings. Write those down that you want to consciously release.  You can consciously release them in meditation.

And, you can release painful and fearful feelings the moment you become conscious of them. Fearful ideas and emotions are a temporary condition. Being aware of the watcher of the thinker, the observer, is the beginning of releasing a fearful belief about yourself.

Contact Universal Life Energy which lifts you higher in awareness. As I release fearful thoughts there comes Declarations of Truth, I am statements: ‘I am Strong, Wise, True and Loving. I am One with the Great All that inspires me on the spiritual plane, guides me on the mental plane, sustains and protects me  on the physical plane.’ You are aligning your consciousness with the energy and Cause of Harmony. And, since your body, mind and emotions are one, then harmony seeps into them. 

Your right as a Soul

Knowledge about ourselves is not always pretty. When I am sincere and silent in my spiritual purpose and discover that I am being motivated by fear then I am grateful for that realization!

It is our Higher Self, our superconscious and heart, that inspires us to consciously recognize false, painful beliefs in order to release them. And, remember you always have the help of the Eternal. 

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB

Like in a reality show we create conflict in our life! But why?

fighting

Television dramas and reality shows soar in popularity, especially when there is obvious conflict. We want the characters to bravely face problems and overcome them. We want happy endings and great achievements. But, why are we so attracted to conflict in stories and competitions? And, do we purposefully create conflict in our life?

The Entertainment

Sure, we like to be entertained with games and stories on tv and conflict makes good drama. We are kept in suspense and emotionally invested with anticipation in the hope of them overcoming the challenges they face.  We like the adventure and are attracted to it because we relate it to our own drama.

Our Power of Creation

In reality shows some of the conflict is staged for entertainment. But, in our own reality we create conflict and drama in our life unconsciously because we fall prey to subconscious negative temptations.

Cause and effect modality

When we do fall prey to negative temptations we have chosen to engage in the dynamic of karma. Negative karma can be very painful, yet we may learn some very valuable life lessons.  

Myself as an example

I remember driving and coming to a stop light, when the driver of the car in the parallel lane next to me got very angry that I hadn’t pulled up further. He shouted at me and I quickly replied with a nasty response. Fortunately the light turned green and we moved on. 

I still remember that particular road rage incident, my self-centerness and retaliation, and the pain it caused me from guilt.

Yet, I learned from it –  to care about what I am doing in the moment. And, that even when I make a mistake and it is painful, I can pick myself up and know that I am on the other side of it.

That moment lead me to understand that when we sincerely quest for answers to know ourselves, help and answers will come.

Life lessons

When someone attackes us it is a sure sign they are hurting. And jumping in their pain only adds to it, feeds it, and hurts us too. They have a right to their own mistakes and learning process.

That doesn’t mean we should accept abuse. Love is strong and we can either remove ourselves, get help or report it to proper authorities.

Being conscious, calm and finding our own inner peace will help us release a retaliation response and even if the other person is not conscious of it, it will help the other person too.

We will keep experiencing the same lesson over and over until we recognize our authentic power of a conscious loving mind and manifest qualities of love. 

Pain is a teacher

Pain in problems and conflict is something that we agreed to and created through our thoughts, emotions, and most of all, our behaviors. Yet, what hurts us also hurts others.

Remember!

Next time you face a challenge and are tempted by low-frequency emotions which creates conflict or adds to conflict, to get in a fight, be brave and remember that the greater the temptation, the more importance you have placed on the lesson you have agreed to learn!

Until next time consider this quote to reflection upon:

“Another way to neutralize that law of Polarity is continually to refuse to see the negative, always place the weight in the positive scale, to try to see, even in things most unpleasant, something good. Thus we cast the weight in the right scale, in the positive, and the result is, that by and by the law of Polarity will be neutralized, and finally will cease to operate in our lives at all. Then, ONLY the positive will come to us.”  

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being 


I appreciate You!

Mindful as the Open Sky

image

Looking towards the distant line of the horizon,
Becoming silent,
Found some peace there
by watching clouds

Above the heads of man,
Changing shapes at will,
Floating in their free
And impermanent way.

Like the sky
that is above us,
it is also right around us
and in us.
We are one
with the open sky,
just as we are one
with our soul.

 

Being mindful and looking up into the sky can help us look up within ourselves to find inspiration from within, from our Higher Self, our Superconsciousness. And inspiration can always be found when we are silent, grateful, ask and listen. We merge consciously with our authentic selves.

The photo is interesting in that when I use my imagination there seems to be a Being with mouth open, speaking, giving me guidance!  Nature is the Eternal manifested.

“Universal Brotherhood of all things is a Fundamental Fact of Eternal Existence. Only Perfect harmony prevails behind the myriad faulty manifestations which sprouts forth into human perceptions, because the Great Law governing the entire Universe is Harmony Itself.”

Mindful Silence

Enter the Silence in order to

release mental tension.

You will get a glimpse into your own mind.

Listening is a quality of Love, an inner feminine gender.

The ego likes to talk rather than listen and gets caught up in ‘monkey chatter.”

Yet, when we are conscious we can live in the moment. Be silent and enjoy life now, releasing the urge to jump into the monkey chatter thinking about what we have to do next or what just happened!

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB


“On Conscious Self is in a peculiar situation. On the one side we receive wisdom from our Higher Self. On the other side we receive foolishness from our subconsciousness.”

Which charka do you live in?

alignment-of-the-chakras-walks-within

It’s not only about sex, Law of Gender you’ve probably never been conscious of, Part 6

Our Light body and chakras is a living matrix containing the energies of our body, mind, emotions and spirit. It is who and what we are. It connects us to the flow of energies from the Source, Universal Life Energy and Mother Earth. But, the subconscious ego assumes much, ignores more and locks us from consciously experiencing all of our Light body, because we usually live from a particular chakra most of our life. 

What are chakras?

There are many, many chakras in our bodies, including in our hands and above our head that opens us to higher dimensions. Chakras are points, discs of energy, vortexes in our electromagnetic, bioenergy field and aura. Energies spiral up and down through the central light channel to the chakras and through the meridians, glands and body receiving and returning Universal Life Energy (prana, chi, Life Force) to and from Mother Earth and Father Universe. 

We usually are mentally focused in a particular chakra and create our reality with our thoughts, attitudes and behaviors in that energy that cycles outward and back in. All the chakras are potentially balanced in both genders of masculine and feminine energies, both Consciousness and Love. But, because we get out of balance manifesting low thoughts, emotions and energies our chakras can get warped, blocked and dark causing our mental and physical condition to deteriorate.

Chakras as levels of consciousness 

1st chakra

When we are an infant we mentally live in the first chakra, the root chakra. We are focused on surviving in the earthly, material world and naturally receive essential Universal Life Energy balanced in both genders. Though we radiate an aura of innocence, roundness and feminine qualities of love, being a soul new in the world we have a new brain and bodily centered on breathing and eating. 

As we grow into childhood, we enjoy playing and living in the moment, generally without anxiety, worries and concerns if we’ve not experienced traumas. We are connected to Mother Earth and the energies of enthusiasm, adventure and creativity. If we do get impatient or angry we don’t stay there long or hold on to it. We’re happiest creating something.

The root chakra is at the base of the spine, the coccyx and the Life Center. The kundalini Life Energy lays static there, which is a very creative Power meant for our life. It is the energy connecting us to Mother Earth, the Material body that we are. This center attracts Universal Life Energy, from both the feminine character of Mother Earth’s Love,  and the masculine energy of the Sun and Universe. Masculine and Feminine, Mind and Love are in essence One, and the root chakra connects us with All. 

2nd chakra

As we master survival in the root level we begin to explore our world and seek out more contact with others. We start to live more in our second chakra, becoming more independent. Mentally and emotionally we start to identify our sexual energies. And, though we have within us both genders we usually have one sexual gender that we identify with not only because of our physical sexual gender and our conditioning, but also because of  our soul’s choice. 

As a soul we create a body and sexual gender with the help of the Great Principle that best suits our life purpose. Our body’s gender, our family, environment and potential conditioning help us learn life lessons and create opportunities for our own happiness and evolution and potentially for others too.

The 2nd chakra is just past the pubic bone, centered in the gonads and focuses our sexual energies. When we are mentally focused here we view our world through relationships, sexuality, career, power and money. 

3rd Chakra

As we continue to mature and accumulate experiences, we begin to want to know more so that we can control and manipulate our reality. We start to ask questions. Why this and why that. We are conscious of three dimensions, linear time, of being more than a body, but we’ve been conditioned, intellectually educated, and established in the world.

We connect with the civilized world, take up our roles in society or fight against them. But, we begin to believe we are the way we think and identify as it. Our confidence and self esteem, or lack there of colors our reality. We pursue happiness, experience it, but happiness is fleeting and we pursue it again. This make us anxious too. 

The 3rd chakra is focused in mental energy, located in the solar plexus area, around the navel. In Science of Being it is also considered the seat of the subconscious along with the back of the brain (feminine gender). It is the reservoir, the collecting vortex of energies, thoughts and emotions that can get stuck there and grow unnoticed. 

If those energies are low frequency then it can be a source of problem for us. We create a personality and ego with these energies, believing things like we are lonely, hot tempered, special, damaged. We’re mad, sad and worried. We’re stressed, hurried and tired. And, these low frequency energies can also manifest in the physical body as dis-eases and illnesses (as covered in Parts 1 and 2). 

Most of us get stuck the remainder of our life and live in the 3rd chakra mentally, not interested or aware that there is the possibility of higher levels of consciousness. We slowly experience chakra lessons that nothing is every lost, it will eventually return. Our life goes through cycles of a few steps forwards and then seemingly a few backwards. As soon as we are determined to do something we seem to meet opposition. And relationships come and go, and things are always changing. 

4th chakra 

I am feeling, and many of us are, that a change is coming; a transition for us. We are beginning to awaken to the possibility of reaching higher, more refined frequencies and consciousness. Some of us have studied spiritual wisdom and practiced mindfulness, meditation and conscious living for years. Humanity is consciously awakening to frequencies of the 4th chakra, to heart consciousness and the power of our emotions; especially to the tenderness of our heart. 

 The 4th chakra is located in the heart area and is an emotional chakra. Our emotions can run high! And, it is a very magnetic center that attracts ‘like’ frequencies. We view our world from feelings love or fear, because we can be in the higher or lower emotional levels. Though we may be unconscious of it, we feel our emotions in our heart. We feel happy or sad, broken, afraid or compassionate in the chest. We can experience heart issues and heart disease when out of balance. It is the center where we feel the expansiveness of gratitude, and both personal love and impersonal, unconditional Love.

As we begin to consciously live in the higher emotional levels of the heart chakra, we have conscious thoughts, attitudes and behaviors of Love.  We refine our character, releasing and burning away the negative energy and traits that had been stuck in the subconscious ego and 3rd chakra. We become more aware of Universal Life Energy, our Higher Self, our Light body and how we create conditions for our own happiness and for others through our attitude, motivation, intent, awareness and behaviors. 

5th, 6th, and 7th+ chakras

The chakras continue up through the body and even above. The 8th chakra (higher in a 13 or more chakra system) is experienced in other dimensions, but for this entry we are focusing on those of our material, earthly existence. We normally do not primarily live in these chakra energies, yet they are us, Light and Love. We perceive our world through them too.

  • The 5th, throat: power of expressing Truth, communication and sound.
  • The 6th, pituitary:  self-consciousnessness, power of perception, wisdom, higher mental thoughts.
  • The 7th crown, pineal:  spiritual power, connection to All and Higher Self, spirituality, Unity.
  • The 8th, above the head: ascension into higher dimension.

Harmonizing the chakras

The emotion of Love and the expression of Love is key to unlocking the higher frequencies of consciousness as we begin to live in our Heart chakra. Love is a feminine energy that opens our heart to our Higher Self and we live in attitudes of gratitude, compassion, and personal and impersonal Love. 

Other helpful practices:

  •  During meditation contact and focus Universal Life Energy in each individual chakra, letting the Source bring harmonization, purification and balance in each.
  • See the Light of Universal Life Energy moving up and down your central Light channel pouring in from both the root chakra and crown chakra, energizing and balancing each chakra, then returning to the Source. 
  • Visualize Universal Life Energy in the root chakra, the kundalini, awakening, brightening and raising up through all the chakras. Begin in the Root chakra and feel the Light raising up to the 3rd chakra, purifying it, moving further up to the Heart chakra and brightening and expanding. 
  • When you have a feeling of intuition, listen consciously, act on it and be grateful for the guidance!
  • Meditation, mindfulness, the harmonizing frequencies of sound and rhythms of Tibetan singing bowls and other frequency music, light, touch and Reiki therapies are also helpful. 

When Mind and Love are balanced

our Male and Female energies are balanced.

In the next entry we will discuss more ways to raise our consciousness to live in the 4th, heart chakra with the help of the Great Principle. 


“The Outer Aura reaches sometimes a thickness of several feet in certain individuals with a very strong mental or spiritual development. In the latter case, the whole nature of the human Aura is changed. Such individuals seem to be surrounded by rays of light, of very beautiful and changing colors. Their Auras are not only very beautiful to look at, but are also very soothing and healing to an appreciable degree. It is often sufficient merely to be in the presence of such people in order to be benefited in every way, physically, mentally, and morally.”

Light from the heart?

clemitis 2016Hatred is a perversion of Love. And, it is an absence of light in consciousness. Someone that is attracted to hatred is limited consciously. And, once they are immersed in hatred it begins to feel normal to them. Yet, hatred causes us all to suffer. 

Hatred is coming to our world consciousness through the media and personal experiences because of terrorism and tragic acts of violence. And, being conscious of hatred can be the beginning of understanding of what hatred is, what is the result and what we can do to help bring light.

From the heart

Hatred is the absence of Light, the Light of consciousness. And, the Light of consciousness is wisdom dominated by Love. Not a limited love or limited consciousness. Rather a creative, intelligent, principled and energetic love. Love is not a passive energy, rather an active, creative energy.

To me, the personal me, I find it difficult to forgive myself when I realize I am impatient, resentful, or anxious. I realize I’m resentful because of deeper feelings of fearful energy from within myself and from others. And, this can be true of many of us because of our upbringing and conditioning. 

However, I aim to release hatred not only because because I reach for the authentic power of my soul, but because it is logical. Hatred causes us all to suffer. When one person experiences hatred, it affects another person, and another, until each of us is affected.

How can we forgive when we hate and hurt so much?

In order to release hatred, we find the tenderness in our heart and forgive ourselves. We begin by being mindful and love ourselves. 

Forgiveness, or rather I call it release, is an expression of Love. Forgiveness is a releasing of our inner negativity, negative energy. We can choose to learn from the experience of hatred, yet not cling to the emotional baggage. When we release there is no regret, guilt or resentment because we release our attachment to all the associated emotions too.

A Zen question

We should do our best to protect ourselves and others from hatred. I feel in my bones and soul that we will all reach the Light of our soul and become the enlightened beings that we already are, yet have forgotten. Yet, we have to work for it, to consciously know ourselves and consciously express the best of ourselves, the tenderness of our heart. And help each other.

There is always help for us.  There are other beings of Light on earth, in other dimensions and the Eternal is helping us return to Harmony, Home. 

We can contact a higher help in Universal Life Energy, which can help harmonize what we are unconscious of! Oh! There’s an answer to a Zen question – How can we harmonize something within that we are unconscious of?

“The more you hate the more hateful you are yourself; the more contemptuous you feel, the more contemptible you are. If you are indignant about something, that something is in you.”

Eugene Fersen, “The Teacher,” Volume 1, page 58.

Beautiful creatures

sit be quiet 

People are beautiful.

Sometimes I just sit and people watch. When we people watch we are looking at ourselves. 

People are beautiful, but we can also be so frighteningly ugly because we strive for external power in the world.

That unconscious desire and fear makes us do terrible things and causes us to suffer. Yet, if you look deep beyond the fear and emptiness, there is the beauty of the soul that is striving to express internal creative power of cohesion with everyone else and the universe.

How can that be true?

Even in the trouble we cause, the negative behaviors, the painful karma we create, we are in the process of unfolding our soul and our beauty. We may think – how can that be true in all that pain, suffering and ugliness?

We’ve created the subconscious ego that believes it rules the world. And, so we choose modes of learning in which we use negative energy, harmful energy, and thus create negative karma.

The Great Principle is eternally compassionate

We’ve fallen and think we can’t get up. We’ve lost conscious awareness of our soul. 

Yet, we are educating ourselves, and becoming more conscious of the Universal Laws. When we make a mistake it hurts and we think – perhaps we shouldn’t do that again! When I stumble and hurt, emotionally or physically, I always ask myself ‘why.’

Mentally we have separated ourselves from the Infinite and Source. That is a big mistake, yet not an eternal one. But, because of the Universal Laws, including the Law of Gender, time becomes a factor in our minds when we consider our spiritual journey back to full realization of who we are and unity with the Great All. 

Mentally we’ve turned away from Love and Beauty. When we think of other people as beautiful we are relating to the Eternal, the Source of Beauty. When we love, including human love for a partner, child or pet, we are expressing an awakening to unconditional Love and Love of the Eternal. 

We are harmonizing, healing ourselves.

Morning Greeting

arid forest path 3

As I awaken in the moment, the day coming fast,

Fragrant notes of the cypress, juniper, piñon pine

Greet me as I enter the arid forest path

Singing such a sweet melody of earthly design

In such abundant giving

Can only come living

With no regret and humble thankfulness express,

My heart purified and to infinite Spirit I do acquiesce.

∞∞∞∞

These paths in the arid forest of Sedona led to native dwellings thousands of years ago, built along the rock formation in the first photo. The landscape and energy in the area is so invigorating that it is easy to get a sense why anyone wants to live in the area. And, you can get a real appreciation for the people of the past living there, their courage and fortitude.

The earthy juniper and pine fragrance is so amazing in the early morning. With a few deep breathes it grounds you to the earth, to your body, and inspires you to look up within! While I was there getting up early was the best part of the day because I would go outside and just breathe, then look at the beautiful mountains.  

The best part at night is the opportunity to see the Milky Way since it is so dark and the city lights are kept low.

Looking into the Milky Way you can get a real sense of the vastness of the universe.  And, in turn it makes me wonder about what infinity truly means in my life and for all of us. 

I think about my own life, the hardships, the joys, the ups, the downs. Wasted time and hopes for days to come, with the help of the Great Law. And, how I have gained some insight into my own spiritual journey.

And, in that mindful moment I know that no moment has been wasted, especially viewing it with some perspective. There are infinite opportunities to come and with the Power of the Infinite behind me, supporting me and all of us, so much, much more joy, peace and purpose.

It’s humbling! And, gratitude fills me.
