Finding Beauty – Cherry Blossoms
“We should try to develop the love of Beauty, which is at the
foundation of our being.”
Eugene Fersen
Cherry Blossoms
One of the most spectacular signs of life budding from a long winter’s slumber is that of the plants and trees blooming with warm spring colors against clear, blue skies.
Pale pink is the color of tender and unconditional Love.
It is spring’s sweet blossom of compassion and gentle nurturing.
In the Japanese tradition and art the cherry tree is symbolic of extreme beauty then quick death; mortality. It’s like clouds that burst forth in their bountiful glory then quickly change, even disappearing to the human eye though they have merely changed form.
Life it is always changing and in constant movement. Upon the earthly death of an individual, the soul merely changes its body, its form.
Even the trunk of the ornamental cherry tree is beautiful!

What They’re Not Telling, Part 5
Spirit of the Soul
We tend to overlook our simplest soul attributes and put them in the back seat of our activities. Yet, we need only express them in our life to help us live a more successful, happier life now. And as we live them consistently, the more refined we become, revealing the source of those qualities – the Spirit of our Soul.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, patrisyu
A newborn’s tender expressions of their soul remind us of our own soul qualities which are hidden behind the masks we have created for ourselves and we’ve come to believe. We were once newborns too, and can express those FourSquare qualities again:
- Newborns assert living in the moment. Life is precious and this moment is a once in a lifetime opportunity to live it fully without fear of the unknown future or pain of the past.
- Their very presence is the felicity of creative change. Change is the very nature of the universe, and it is advantageous for us to maintain an attitude that is mentally open and adaptable rather than fight against change, looking on it as an opportunity for growth.
- Newborns demonstrate that we do not know everything there is to know and that is a blessing because we have the joy of learning and making new discoveries before us. As we commit to our spiritual practice in earnest, we become more conscious of inspiration and guidance of our Super-consciousness and the traits and habits of the subconsciousness, which we can use wisely to help transform ourselves. With an Enlightened Mind we discriminate intelligently with the consideration of Love leading us in our choices of behaviors.
- Newborns testify to sincerity, honesty and the power of faith and trust in the Eternal. Doubt fades away the more we are sincere and honest we are in our thoughts, feelings and behaviors, freeing us from the roles we play and aligning with the Universal Laws. Habitually repeating anger, resentment, guilt, worry and other subconscious traits can lead to becoming self-righteous, limiting our view of the world and ourselves.
- It is easy to love our own newborns since they are so tender, gentle and trusting. Newbies radiate an aura of generous love and even if they are not our children they warm our hearts. Their heart of love attracts love from within us and gives us the great opportunity to know the best part of ourselves, our unconditional Love and the endless abundance of love. Compassionate Love promotes understanding and cooperation.
- When we look into the eyes of a newborn we can see that Divinity is close at hand, because looking into the eyes of another human is looking at Divinity. And, when we are truly conscious of looking at Divinity, another Soul, we can see ourselves in them, because we are of the same Divine Source.
Easy to Love
As we consciously practice releasing false beliefs about ourselves, we also can wholeheartedly embrace Love and all our soul qualities of Strength, Wisdom, Truth. The more we do, the closer we come to the full realization of the Spirit of our Soul, the Divine in ourselves.
We can see the Divine in newborns. Now is the time to see It in others and most of all experience It in our self. Our Soul qualities to wholeheartedly manifest are:
In the hope you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:
“The emotion of Love is for us the key which open the gates of Heaven. In reality we do not love human beings; we think we do. We love Divinity through human beings. 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.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 44.
What They’re Not Telling, Part 4
Soul Statement of Love
We spend most of our life unconscious of the best part of our self, and at times suffer from aversion, fear, and loneliness. But, newborns speak to us soul to soul to help us know that we are capable of giving and receiving the deepest kind of love.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, David Castillo Dominici
Being Lead by Love
It was love at first site for me, even before first site, when my children were born. And, for most people newborns draw some degree of love from them through the Law of Vibration and the Law of Attraction.
- You can see tenderness in others when they respond to newborns. Newborns have a transcendental atmosphere about them that brings gentleness, nurturing and love to the surface of our consciousness. Through loving them we can get a real sense of our unlimited capacity to love. The more we love the more we have to give.
- Little by little we begin to realize that compassion is unconditional love in action and it’s a great privilege to help another being, if it is nurturing a newborn or even if it is only holding the door for someone. That’s a great gift because it helps us be less self-centered, while getting a glimpse of our true character which is abundantly generous with kindness, goodwill and patience.
- Through compassion we can come to appreciate the opportunity and benefit of approaching everyone as a friend with respect and compassion. Love is wise because it is also Enlightened Mind. Thus, we will be wise enough to know when to back off and let anyone have their space if they are contrary. It is our opportunity to love them unconditionally without harsh judgment and help them if they ask for it. They are on their journey, working out their karma as they agreed to with The Great Law.
- Another quality of love that newborns bring to the forefront of our consciousness is patience, and they certainly can help us discipline in that respect. We can come to recognize patience within ourselves. But, we add to the energy of impatience and negative if we tolerate aggression in our adult relationships. That’s when to say “no” to aggression and cruelty which causes all concerned to suffer and we should not be patient with it. We can learn to set limits, while keeping our heart open to unconditional love.
Being Human
Newborns are human and complain like most of us. They cry when they are impatient, but on a deeper level they cry to be cared for and loved. Their impatience and complaints do not hurt us because we love them.
When we, as adults, are impatient or complain we are unconsciously trying to be cared for and loved too, but being self-conscious we are responsible for the perverted idea of love. We try to get attention and sympathy, even wanting to blame someone or something else rather than taking responsibility for ourselves.
If someone’s complaints hurt our feelings that is because there is something within the ego to be hurt. They can motivate us to look within ourselves and find out why.
For ways to release habitual behaviors that keeps us repeating the same adverse patterns consider the series: The Power of Emotion to Change Your Life.
The Law of Attraction is the Law of Love
We are naturally attracted to newborns because of love. When we discriminate and consciously let love lead us then we naturally feel it in our heart, and compassion begins to grow in us which spreads to embrace others too.
Great Friends of humanity have brought the message of Love throughout the ages, and so too has The Lightbearer Eugene Fersen brought the Law of Love to help us return to the Love of our Soul and the Eternal, transforming ourselves to a freer, stronger and happier condition.
THE LAW OF LOVE: NO MATTER UNDER WHAT CIRCUMSTANCES,
ALWAYS MEET EVERYTHING AND EVERYBODY WITH LOVE.
May you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
To see what 60 Minutes says about newborns knowledge of human morals view the video in: Soul Quality of Truth and Law.
Next week we’ll put it all together, with the help of the Great Law and look at how expressing all of our soul qualities of Life, Mind, Truth and Love naturally leads us to realization of union with Spirit. It’s what newborns are not telling us, unless we read their analogy!
Until next week consider this quote to reflect upon:
“All things can be bought; LOVE IS THE ONE THING WHICH CAN NEVER BE BOUGHT. That is why it is really precious and that is why we should never be ungenerous with it, because there is always enough for us to give. In fact, the more we give, the more there is to be given.”

What They’re Not Telling, Part 3
Soul Statement of Truth and Law
Newborns can’t talk, but they display an amazing presence of Sincerity, Truth and Law. As adults we can be insincere, superficial, and deceitful. Have we forgotten what we knew as newborns? Infants have a lot to teach us Soul to Soul if we read their analogy.
- Newborns are very sincere, expressing their Soul Quality of Truth.
FreeDigtalPhotos.net, David Castillo Dominici
Genuine
Newborns bring Truth to the surface of their being; they are very sincere and honest. Plus, research is showing that babies as young as three months old know right from wrong as seen in the 60 Minutes clip below. The clip also offers that we incarnate carrying prestigious we’ve accumulated in the subconscious ego, yet there is hope through understanding of justice and love to rise above them.
Newborns do cry and are impatient, but when they cry they are sincerely expressing physical issues.
In a way we cry too, complain and are impatient when we experience problems. We are inclined to worry, doubt and fear our ability to harmonize them. We are reluctant to go to dark places within our self and see our mistakes, to feel them fully, then work to release them and start new positive causes. That takes courage.
Trust and Faith
Newborns are very courageous. They incarnated to earth physically helpless, demonstrating great trust and faith in the Eternal. As their caretakers, we carry a great hope for our newborns to grow, become adults and achieve all that they can. We encourage and bolster their growth. It is an analogy that says we also have within us trust and faith, but we doubt the Source.
The Truth and Law of Our Soul
We are inherently sincere and courageous, but we get lost in the dream of the ego. We doubt our connection and the support of the Eternal. We prop up false images of our self trying to be what we perceive others expect us to be. In other words, we are inclined to be insincere and pretentious.
And, when it is a ‘little white lie’ we think it’s okay and even polite! Like when we say things to people we don’t really mean, but say them anyway trying to please them.
We can be kind without lying. We can choose to look others in the eye and speak sincerely; we can choose to say what we mean and mean what we say, keeping our promises. We can choose to be honest and law-abiding.
Through our choices we determine the path of our life; we create the vast majority of the conditions around us and within us.
Allowing Truth
You know how it feels when you sincerely express the truth; how liberating and freeing it is. That’s because you are releasing yourself from the chains of the subconscious ego. The Great Law encourages and assists our growth through all the Universal Laws that we live in. Truth frees us of egotistic traits and opens us to the tenderness, kindness and Love of our heart and soul, and thereby we create expansive, abundant, and happier conditions.

Next week we will continue this series with what newborns reveal about Soul Love, with the help of the Great Law. Until then consider this quote to reflect upon:

What They’re Not Telling, Part 2
Mind Soul Statements
We may not know what is going on in a newborn’s fuzzy little head, but if you can read their analogy they communicate soul to soul. They express emotions, display mental sensory awareness and new research is showing that they even display some level of self-consciousness. Their mental condition points the way to our own mental condition and transformation to Enlightened Mind.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, Clare Bloomfield
Consciousness
Newborns have a fully functioning Mind, but with a new brain they have to acquire knowledge and consciously learn through their senses. They feel gentle kisses on their little faces, hear our coos of love and encouragement, taste mother’s milk, smell the scent of her and even try to focus their eyes.
They are like a mental sponge, absorbing knowledge at an amazing rate. They naturally live in the moment, synchronizing mind and body. They feel pain, but apparently do not fear it.
Somewhere along the way to becoming an adult, we’ve forgotten what comes naturally to newborns. We’ve become resistant to change, reluctant to learn anything new, experience fear, and forget to live in the moment. Yes, we are now more self-conscious, which is the idea of “I think, therefore, I am.” But, we’ve gotten so wrapped-up in our busy life and demands of civilization that we neglect trying to know our inner self and soul, which is essential to realizing our connection to and support of the Eternal “I AM,” and our very realistic happiness now.
Subconsciousness
It is true that newborns exhibit obvious signs of mental inefficiencies like nescience and emotional subconscious traits like impatience, but they also have an aura of Love about them. They incarnated to earth physically helpless, trusting and having faith in the Eternal to provide means to grow into a better, freer condition. That trust is made real and material through us, their caretakers. It’s an amazing privilege for us.
It is a common practice in hospitals for preemies to be held for periods of time on a care taker’s chest with skin contact. They hear the heart beat, feel the charge and aura of love of another soul.
The heart is our seat of Love and this therapy nurtures them through the Law of Attraction and Law of Vibration. Newborns need care and love in order to flourish, giving us a great opportunity to personate unconditionally love and compassion as representatives of the Great Principle on earth.
Allowing Enlightened Mind
Being self-conscious of unconditional Love and compassion is allowing an Enlightened Mind. We live in the moment, keeping to the main issues without getting lost in details. We listen to the voice of Inspiration (‘I am’), having faith and trust in our connection with and support of ‘I AM,’ the Great Principle. And thus, by allowing Enlightened Mind we make responsible choices to not only help newborns, but also to help all of us achieve all that we can in this life.
To learn more about Enlightened Mind that helps us live a rich and full life: MIND.
May You find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
With the help of the Great Law in the next posting we will examine what newborns are not telling us about Truth and Law (yet they are)!
Until then consider this quote to reflect upon:
“TO LIVE INTELLIGENTLY MEANS TO GIVE TO EACH PERSON AND TO EACH THING THEIR PROPER PLACE, to keep one’s judgment clear and try to judge as impartially as possible.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 22.

What They’re Not Telling, Part 1
Life Soul Statements
When newborns come into this world you can see a certain look in their eyes. Newborns always look wise to me, like they know something they’re not telling. Although they are not talking, they make a lot of big, deep Soul statements. They are great teachers for us if we choose to understand and read their analogy.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, patrisyu
Creative Life
Newborns bring out the best in most of us because their very presence draws out love from within us. They create an opportunity for us to know unconditional love. And, that is a great gift because knowing that we are capable of unconditional love is something we can express as compassion to help heal our self and the world.
Yet their most obvious (though often overlooked) gifts are the simplest demonstrations of creative Life that are soul statements. Those soul statements remind us of our own soul gifts:
- A newborn’s very presence is a great gift of Divine Creative Life. Creativity is a quality of the Eternal and our Soul and newborns are a living example of our own gift of creativity.
When I was young I was very creative and it made me happy to create drawings and wonderful dirt roadways for my matchbox cars. As we age we tend to forget the joys of creativity which has effected the quantity and quality of our happiness and overall condition.
Consider infusing some type of constructive creativity in your life, even if it is making dirt roads for your kids matchbox cars to increase your happiness!
- A newborn may not be able to tell us what life is all about, but we can see it in their analogy. A newborn’s purpose is simply to live. They are making the most of their life in the moment, doing the right thing in the moment.
They are Powerful force in the Universe and as harmonious Souls help strengthen the goodwill and movement for cooperation in this world! Even if their life is very short, and it sometime happens, it has purpose. One purpose may be to help us remember how precious life is, to be grateful and make the best time of it.
Consider infusing gratitude in your consciousness and being aware of this very moment to center yourself in your soul!
- Newborns scream enthusiasm, especially at their first breath. That thirst for life is a powerful emotion that empowers newborns to continue to live and progress. It comes from their heart and soul. Positive enthusiasm is an emotional boost which draws positive energy into their reality to better their condition. It’s true for us too. Enthusiasm lifts our spirits and that energy enriches our life. It draws more positive conditions into our reality through the Law of Attraction!
Consider infusing constructive enthusiasm in your realization to boost your positive energy!
That’s what life is all about in those first few moments and all the moments after: to simply live in the moment, to take life seriously, and to take responsibility for life facing it with enthusiasm.
Yet, there’s more to life than seen in those first few moments of a newborn and for us too because life is license for transformation!

In the hope you find Love close at hand, Portia SLB
Next week we will look at the Mind qualities expressed by newborns, Soul to Soul! Until then, consider this quote to reflect upon:
“That is what is meant by living life, TO DO ONE’S DUTY ALWAYS AT THE PROPER TIME AND NEVER TO WORRY ABOUT THE RESULT. THE RESULT WILL COME RIGHT INEVITABLY IF WE ACT RIGHTLY.”
Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, page 21.
What Not to Do, Part 3
We’re Conditioned!
Sure, we were taught not to be impatient or loose our temper, but we do it anyway and get caught in these very habitual behaviors. We can’t seem to help our self.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, taoty
Continuing from the previous two post’s list of what not to do:
We’re Conditioned to Believe
6 – We’ve conditioned our self to believe negative egotistic behaviors like fear, worry, resentment and greed are part of standard human behavior and are acceptable rather than consciously releasing them and regaining our freedom!
In fact, we can live in ‘what not to do’ for so long that we think it is ‘what to do’!
7 – We are conditioned to obey an ‘authority’ without first using our own discrimination process and listening to our Superconscious.
8 – We think it’s okay to tell little white lies to save our self from embarrassment or someone else’s involvement.
9 – We want to be liked, admired, and known as a nice person, and therefore, we mold our self to that image, trying to please others.
Spirit of Love
That gentle voice of intuition telling us that something is wrong, a what not to do moment, is our consciousness tapping into Superconsciousness which is part of our Soul and Universal Mind guiding us.
If we ignore the guidance of our Higher Self we still have backup means to help us know the right thing to do. We can reason with purposeful discrimination we learned through experience, conditioning and education, but we still have a choice to take it or leave it. It’s like the aphorism: You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make him drink.
Means of the Mind
Eventually, we must come to know for ourselves the way to harmony and happiness since we are responsible for ourselves. In a deeper understanding and wider view it is still following the guidance of our Higher Self because we are harmonizing our thinking and behavior. We come to release our grip on the ego and embrace our soul and true Being.
Ways of the World
We make our life the way it is. We must take responsibility for it and be courageous in the present moment and moments to come to help transform our self into a better condition.
We already know the right thing to do because we are part of Cosmic Mind, but we have temporarily forgotten that since we are experiencing a separatist, self-centered, egotistic mind. You loosen the grip of the subconscious ego every time you live in the present moment and enjoy now.
When we consciously work at it we eventually recognize what not to do and realize what to do. Things like being conscious and accurate, making the best use of our time because it doesn’t come again, and being respectful and loving others unconditionally because they are just like us – beautiful Souls.
In Light and With Love, Portia SLB
Consider this quote to reflect upon:
“Subconsciousness is the shell which prevents the Living Spirit within from manifesting as powerfully as it should. When enough Rays of Truth pierce the subconsciousness, then subconsciousness will collapse like a balloon, and there will be no more subconsciousness.”
Eugene Fersen, Aphorisms of The Lightbearer, page 98.
What Not to Do, Part 1
Ways of the World
There are plenty of websites and blogs that have lists of what not to do, such as ‘what not to do on your online dating profile’ and ‘what not to do in an interview’. Often times they can be very humorous while being true.
Yet, there are some very practical things to consider when it comes to what not to do when you want to improve your life and enlighten your spiritual journey.
FreeDigitalPhotos.net, hyena reality
MEANS OF THE MIND
The subconscious doesn’t like to be told what not to do. That word ‘not’ or ‘n’t’ seems to disappear from our attention when used in a sentence, so consider reading the first sentence in this paragraph again! That’s the first important thing to remember about what not to do.
When you say to someone, especially a child, “don’t be afraid,” it’s like saying to the ego “be afraid, be very afraid!” Or, “don’t cry,” it’s like you are saying, “I understand why you are crying.” When you say, “don’t tell me what to do!” The subconscious of the person you’re speaking to tends to hear “tell me what to do,” and it’s almost irresistible for them not to tell you what to do!
When you say to yourself, “don’t forget,” the subconscious records the predominate word – forget. If you want to remember, say to yourself, “remember,” and mentally swallow it – you are programing the subconscious.
Be mindful and consciously choose the appropriate word as a directive to the subconscious since it is very good at recording thoughts and growing them, but not very good at recognizing the word ‘not’.
A very practical what not to do is try to change someone else. You can’t.
Everyone is incredibly strong. And, if you do try to change someone else you end up changing yourself! You ignore the health of your own sanity as self-righteousness and every subconscious trait that supports that line of thinking eats up the Light of your mind and emotions!
Everyone has a right to their thinking, even if it is harmful for them! Sad, but true. We can try to help them, but we can not change them. One of the best ways to help them is to work on changing our self for the better because it rubs off on those around us.
SPIRIT OF LOVE
Our great asset is our Higher Self, our Superconscious that speaks to us through intuition and inspiration which helps us know what not to do and what to do. And, we have the power of discrimination.
Knowledge is a means and power to help us advance and better our life, and along with soul sourced discrimination it can help us do that in universal balance.
With Light and Love, Portia SLB
We’ll share more things not to do that complicate your life in the next 2 upcoming posts with the help of the Great Law.
Until next time consider this quote to reflect upon:
“The subconsciousness always imposes on consciousness. It always wants us to do something. The Superconsciousness always wants to be asked. When we ask we should always believe that we will receive. The Eternal must answer when asked.”
