You Exist.

 

Once you start to awaken, no one can ever claim you again for the old patterns. Now you realize how precious your time here is. You are no longer willing to squander your essence on undertakings that do not nourish your true self; your patience grows thin with tired talk and dead language. You see through the rosters of expectation which promise you safety and the confirmation of your outer identity. Now you are impatient for growth, willing to put yourself in the way of change. You want your work to become an expression of your gift. You want your relationship to voyage beyond the pallid frontiers to where the danger of transformation dwells.

When you begin to sense that your imagination is the place where you are most divine, you feel called to clean out of your mind all the worn and shabby furniture of thought. You wish to refurbish yourself with living thought so that you can begin to see. 

As Meister Eckhart says: Thoughts are our inner senses. 

When the inner senses are dull and blurred, you can see nothing in or of yourself; you become a respectable prisoner of received images. Now you realize that 'eternal vigilance is the price of liberty' and you undertake the difficult but beautiful path to freedom. On this journey, you begin to see how the sides of your heart that seemed awkward, contradictory and uneven are the places where the treasure lies hidden. 

You begin to become true to yourself. 

And as Shakespeare says in Hamlet: To thine own self be true, then as surely as night follows day, thou canst to no man be false.

 

The journey shows you that from this inner dedication you can reconstruct your own values and action. You develop from your own self-compassion a great compassion for others. You are no longer caught in the false game of judgment, comparison and assumption. More naked now than ever, you begin to feel truly alive. You begin to trust the music of your own soul; you have inherited treasure that no one will ever be able to take from you. At the deepest level, this adventure of growth is in fact a trans-figurative conversation with your own death. And when the time comes for you to leave, the view from your death bed will show a life of growth that gladdens the heart and takes away all fear.

Truth...be told.

 

The truth is revealed to you when you are ready to see and transform it. It comes to you as a reminder of where you were not standing in your power, were in fear or doubt or forgot your own divinity. It is not there to remind you of your imperfections, although that is what you might see. This is where you can find the perfection in the perceived imperfections, the rose among what may appear to be a pile of thorns. It is a very powerful realization that can free you from lifetimes of experiences in which you wanted to learn the lesson of truth. When you can see the truth you are ready for the awareness of your power. 

The truth of your past is not the truth of your present moment. 

The truth is revealed when you are ready to resolve your lessons and create new realities.

New Earth Energies

 

Our life on this planet is about learning.

Every situation in our life is an experience we asked to receive. 

Our beliefs, past thoughts, feelings, and experiences create a continuous and restrictive life pattern that manifests into our daily life. 

Releasing the old restrictive patterns by replenishing old energy with new vibrant energy in our system enhances our daily life and allows us to more easily receive clarification and direction towards manifesting our desired goals and dream life.

Our physical form is the most phenomenal miracle for all us on this planet. 

We take our physical life on this planet for granted and not fully appreciate our physical form or the beautiful planet Earth that is hosting us while we are here.

When we understand and accept that we are spiritual beings having a human experience, not human beings trying to become spiritual, our life's meaning changes. 

As spiritual beings we come from a realm of pure love and abundance of all (prosperity, joy, peace, freedom), with a co-creative power to instantly manifest whatever we desire. 

Our human life allows us to experience lessons at a practical level with feelings and emotions.

Every incident in our life is an experience that our Higher Spirit Self (Soul) wants us to feel with knowing.

The planet Earth is the practical lab for us to experience everything we have learned in the Spirit realm. This planet's matrix is made up of polarity, which requires experiencing opposite sides of each lesson. So, when we receive large sums of money (winning the lottery, or gains from stocks or business) we feel immense joy, love, gratitude and acceptance. To complete the lesson the opposite also has to be experienced. 

At some point a large financial loss occurs. The experience is the feeling we go through when this occurs. The normal feeling during a financial loss is depression, anxiety, stress and other strong negative feelings. 

We end up victimizing others and ourselves. 

These negative feelings develop into a deeper hole, which ends up worsening our situation. 

The objective is to graduate from the lesson and move on to the next lesson.

To graduate from the lesson we must feel joy, love, gratitude and acceptance in both experiences. 

To graduate from this specific lesson we must accept the lesson of financial loss, have gratitude and joy with love that we have experienced it. 

Upon full acceptance the loss will be short lived and we move on to the next lesson our Higher Self wants us to experience.

While we are experiencing our life's lessons on this planet, we need to understand that this life we are living is actually a drama for our Higher Self. 

We are the personality self and the main character in our play. All family members, friends and associates are part of our drama playing (friendly and unfriendly) roles to help us with our lessons. Graduation from each lesson is through love, compassion, gratitude and acceptance (no matter how severe the pain). 

Forgiveness comes through love and compassion. 

Being aware that each experience is part of our growth and that each lesson requires love compassion, gratitude and acceptance to complete, will help us flow through life much more easily with a better attitude.

All aspects of our life are experiences we have asked to experience for our growth. 

We have free will and choice at all times. 

Everything we go through in the physical life is through our own creation and doing. Every thought and feeling is registered. Our life path is structured by our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and past patterns ingrained in our system.

We are able to change our life paths by changing our beliefs, thoughts, feelings and past patterns ingrained in our system. We can change our thoughts and feelings to focus on more positive aspects. 

But how do we release our past restrictive patterns ingrained in our system? 

First, we have to understand that our life cycle is not linear. It is actually a circular flow of past, present and future. All past thoughts, experiences, and beliefs manifest our present situations. Our present situation is through our past reflection; this is carried and manifested into the future. This cycle is continuous throughout our whole life. 

The dream future we would like to manifest for ourselves is easier to attain once restricted past ingrained patterns are fully released and removed.
