Has the ego kept this secret from you?

Temptation is not something that is out there tempting us. Nor is there is a little devil on our shoulder tempting us. The ego just likes us to think that!

Temptation is from within the egotistical subconscious. We wouldn’t feel tempted if it wasn’t within! That’s the secret the ego tries to keep from us to retain its power over us.

Yet we have the opportunity to free ourselves from the burden of subconscious desires. And the easiest way that I know of is to embrace the truth as ugly as it might be.

The ego seduces us with the desire of gain, the payoffs of satisfaction in guilt, hatred, and even curiosity. We’ve seen in the news that the ego will kill in classrooms just to know what it feels like!

When we can see the seductions of the ego clearly, then it gives us a wonderful opportunity to release them and rise above into higher levels of consciousness.

So when we feel a tug of seduction or what we may call temptation to feel guilty, feel resentment or hatred, then it is a sure sign that our Higher Self is working to help us rise above it because we are in the field of awareness.

And awareness is a dedication to love. We can see the truth, which opens the door to love within us. Truth is the key to open ourselves to love, to gratitude, to unconditional Love.

And love rises us in consciousness. Even conditional love can help us remember that love is an innate part of us. And once we feel love, we want to be in that energy again.

The FourSquare helps us build to that spiritual unconditional love through dedication to being strong, wise, truthful, and loving. And each time we express these qualities, opening the door to love through truth we rise in consciousness. We experience more fulfillment and happiness.

The secret Love of a crisis – it’s not what you think!

The subconscious ego may be torn up and desperately distraught …. circles over and over in despair, depression, worry, and fear about the global and very personal issues we face now …… without finding any value in it at all.  Yet, there is value in everything, including the present challenges. 

Difficulties can challenge us to pause, ponder and contemplate …. to go within …… to seek joy and happiness. Isn’t it true that we seek strength, wisdom, freedom and harmony? Even the subconscious cries for freedom from misery. Urns for happiness. Pleads for strength and wisdom.  

The subconscious ego wants to reject the way things are now, and would much rather focus on the future or the past without fully experiencing life now. Yet, it’s an opportunity missed. So many, many opportunities missed to consciously experience life. Gone.

If we view every challenge, every problem, every opposition  …..  as an opportunity to find within us a greater response then …… we are encouraged to look within to find our sown strengths …… to rediscover our Soul’s Strength, Wisdom, Truth and Love.

Challenges can prompt us to pause, ponder, and become Silent …… and that’s when we are better able to look deep within and recognize our own Inner Real Self. We may find that we are in the moment fully ….. appreciating Life.

And there can be victory in our hearts ….. and this is a secret Love within us awakening ….. Unconditional Love and Joy.

Gratitude may arise for the awareness of what is happening. Not for the crisis, problem or opposition, rather gratitude for the awareness of serenity and love always being close at hand. Gratitude for the infinite opportunities in this moment. Gratitude for some higher conscious understanding, that may not be logical, rather something deeper and far reaching ….. life changing.

And we can know ….. that if we do fall when facing challenges, it is temporary because we have a deep drive within us to succeed in life. It may take a while and we can hit bottom. Yet, eventually we will, with the help of the Great Principle, find the courage to dust ourselves off and face life again ….. and this is a great gift of Unconditional Love.

In the hope You find Love close at hand, PortiaSLB


“And there are those who walk the Divine Road. No human help do they expect. At first their steps are handicapped. They have to fight ill-will, and apathy, and ignorance, and fear….And by and by, slowly, step after step they climb, overcoming obstacles along the way, until easier and broader turns the path on which they move onward.”

Eugene Fersen, Science of Being, pages 305 and 306.

Responding with Soul

Too much drama in your life? The human mind will not help, but this will.

When I was a little child I experienced a lot of chaos and a lot of heart ache that I carried with me for many, many years into adulthood. I came to feel that drama and heartache was a living standard. It wasn’t until later in my life that I became aware of the importance I placed on stories I told myself and that I identified with. 

The stories we tell ourselves that are the hardest to let go are those with the most drama. Which we use to create more stories about ourselves and that we identify with.

The more importance you place on drama and the story of it, the more the subconscious ego imprisons you in a fixed self-identity. The less you’re able to freely experience unbound possibilities in the universe and your own innate Light.

So how can we step outside of the human ego’s drama story telling? 

We should allow ourselves to grow into the moment. Observe in a detached, yet involved state without all the thinking the ego circles in. That still, small voice you find in Silence will help you observe the way your personal mind works without harsh judgments.

 You can attain a clarity of mind in silence that can guide you in your choice of actions. While at the same time you are able to observe the subconscious ego’s desire to circle in what it is familiar with. With conditioned habits and behaviors.

The more you pause and become silent the freer you will be able to move into the moment. The more you become aware of things you hadn’t been conscious of before. 

Amazing things can happen that some would overlook or miss completely. Butterflies can fly by even when you’re at sea! Dolphins jump and the waves reflect your heart’s deepest longings.

The more you become silent and observe, the more drama leaves you. Not the memory of an event, rather the emotional drama the ego tells stories about. You can gain some perspective and understanding the lesson that life presented.  

In a state of detached state you are free to observe life constantly changing, yet remains steadfast. And backed up by a realm Unchangeable. Unknown. 

Contacting Universal Life Energy is a backup Force which can help you attain emotional and mental clarity. This is especially helpful just before sleep when the ego tends to review the day and create stories about it.

Instead of creating stories, mentally realize, “I feel Universal Life Energy flowing through me now.” You are aligning with the Light that you are and the Great Unknown.

 Your Heart slowly awakens from it’s imprisoned walls and becomes free to openly experience unbound love and compassion, gratitude, caring and sincerity.

The bravest thing you can do is to focus on your own Inner Love. When your focus mind in that sacred chamber of your Heart you become a spiritual warrior and express unconditional Love in your life. 

And this creates more opportunities for your happiness and unfoldment. 

If you’ve already experienced this, have you also experienced synchronicities to enjoy and expand your gratitude? 

In the hope that when chaos does come into your life that you will remember to come to a state of silent observation and free yourself of the ego’s crippling drama and stories. And that you step out of the ego into the realm of Being and unlimited possibilities, PortiaSLB
