Universal Truths

Change for Goodness Sake (1 of 2)

I've been referring to change a lot lately and it's no coincidence - not that I believe in coincidences but that's another post.

As a race or species we are told by numerous sources that we are undergoing monumental change on every level of our existence.  Change that is beyond the detection of physical science because these changes are not only of a physical nature...they are predominantly of the Universal kind.  How do I know for sure whether or not this change is happening?  Because I am experiencing great change, in some shape or form, first hand, everyday.

Further, change is one of the main ingredients for producing our highest expression as human beings (human excellence) and human excellence is a subject of great interest to us here at Universal Truths.  We have come to believe, with everything in us, that change means evolution and evolution means Life. And Life lived in excellence, as the Sages of the Ages have taught us, is a Life truly worth living!

Whenever I entertain any doubt about whether change is good or bad, I remind myself that it is absolutely great because whatever is happening, regardless of its appearance, is happening for my highest good.  I can say this with conviction because I have begun reaping the rewards of years of training to refocus my attention toward my good and now recognise more and more that in reality there is nothing but this Goodness – it just so happens to include a vast array of contrast from which I can differentiate and select.

Like billions of others getting around on this extraordinary planet we call Earth, I wasn't always so sure or so clear about this concept.  Then, AND in the occasional now moments of living life, my doubt becomes apparent when I again function from the place of limited information and beliefs.  In doing so I reap the consequences of that limited thinking by producing undesirable conditions.

Through study, implementation and experience I have come to know that my conditions are not only a direct response to my thoughts, feelings, words, and actions, but they are 100% accurate, although not 100% exact - here's what I mean...

A reason why I haven't to-date instantly received millions of dollars in lottery prizes, engaged specific companies to share our services with, hooked up with people that look like this and act like that, cured ailments and illnesses this way by this time, or occupied a CBD abode in that building with this address, is because these are all a matter of how.   What I have learnt to do instead is open channels and receive big, happy, financial surprises, engage with large iconic Australian and global companies, meet and know many lovely and interesting folks, and focus on health and other desirable conditions.  And, how Life played out the details of these experiences through me, was not in ways I could have expected nor requested.

I’ve since learnt that how is the desire/Will of Life Itself and thank goodness this is so because it certainly makes things easier, more elegant, and far quicker than anything I could have produced myself.  Life has the means and the ways for how to manifest what we desire that is beyond finding out.

My role, as I now understand it, in the change/evolution process is to contemplate what and not deviate until what next activities (what we also refer to as Divinely Inspired Actions) appear in my consciousness.

To continue the process that starts with a thought, idea, inkling, or desire, I contemplate and hold my thoughts and feelings on what it actually feels like to be, do and have the details of that condition now.  I am continually becoming more and more disciplined in what thoughts I entertain and what I’m feeling because I now know this is part of the creative process; for the production of desirable and undesirable conditions.

An example of what thinking in order to change my condition of not enough money was to contemplate instead what it actually felt like now that I have (note: not "going to have" meaning its coming, but "now have") more than enough of the substance called money or currency to do what I want, when I want, where I want, and with who I want?  And, yes indeed, wealth includes much more than money!  No matter what stage of wealth we are demonstrating or expressing today, there is always more available...and for very good reason.

Regarding an ideal job, an example of this what thinking to manifest a change in my conditions is to feel deeply who I am being, what I am doing, and what I have, now that I am providing a service that contributes to my joy, and that is good for many.  When I thought about, and took action towards, providing a particular service because of what I could earn, and the money dilemmas this could solve, I earned little and often found the related activities arduous.  Now that I'm focused on providing a service because of the value I am and can yet provide, my income streams have opened up and money has arrived from a variety of unexpected channels.  A key here was to recognise the true Source of my supply – yet another topic for another time.

Regarding what thinking and an ideal relationship, I changed this by replacing my thoughts of being single and the looming doom of failure, distrust, and disappointment in any shape or form with my fairytale outcomes.  Today, I continue to change/evolve it by changing my own thoughts and feelings and by becoming the person I wish to be with, thereby attracting my perfect mirror as my reflection.  In my opinion, intimate relationships are most telling of where we are up to in our personality and its expression  - physically, mentally and spiritually, when viewed and conducted in an enlightened manner.  Anthony reveals to me areas to be healed and refined and the more I did and continue to do this, the more beautiful my mirror image becomes, literally and metaphorically.

My role, as I've come to understand and live it in the game of life, is to differentiate and select from the array of available life experiences.  In other words it is to decide what I desire to be, do, and have by contemplating what those conditions and experiences would feel like if they were true for me right now.  By holding these visions and imaginary experiences as true, I am breathing Life into them and playing my perfect part.  The fake it till you make it phrase and perfect practice are vital concepts when playing the change game.  Even scripture tells us to "call things that are not as though they were." 

Let's keep changing for Goodness sake...

Entering into the Spirit of It

Now back to the matter of a complimentary abode in the city...

It was in Judge Thomas Troward's Dore Lectures that I first read about Entering into the Spirit of a thing.  Below are a variety of extracts from the Lecture of the same name.  Before reading them I would like to give you a tip that may assist you experience the true value of this material written in the first decade of the 1900s.  As this blog suggests, when you read these lines do so when you have a moment of quiet to read the words with care, and feel the feeling that is at the back of each word.  Imagine what the author felt as he wrote and spoke these words; and - from a place of uncritical observation - I invite you to notice what feelings they elicit within you:

"The Spirit is that which gives life and movement to anything, in fact it is that which causes it to exist at all.”

“The creative process in the first instance is purely a matter of feeling.”

“Since the Spirit is Life-in-itself, its feeling can only be for the fuller expression of Life.”

“It is this original feeling that we need to enter into, because it is the fons et origo [source and origin] of the whole chain of causation which subsequently follows.”

“...since the desire to bestow the greater fullness of joyous life can only be described as Love, we can sum up the whole of the feeling which is the original moving impulse in the Spirit as Love and Beauty -

...the Spirit finding expression through forms of beauty in centres of life, in harmonious reciprocal relation to itself."

"If we could only so enter into the Spirit as to make it personally IN OURSELVES what it evidently is in ITSELF, the magnum opus [the great work] would be accomplished.”

“This is a generalised statement of the broad principle by which Spirit expands from the innermost to the outermost, in accordance with a Law of tendency [natural Law of Growth] inherent in itself."

So far, so great right!? While there is a WHOLE lot more to what Troward has to say on this subject, the more I read the more I see patterns of wisdom and instructions guiding me toward the manner in which we turn thought forms and our imaginings into matter and that is - through the recognition that Spirit is creating the conditions through me as an Individual Placeholder in the Great Plan of Life [a form of beauty and centre of life]. 

We are each fully equipped and integral vehicles through which Spirit/Life evolves!  However, for us to become demonstrations of this Truth and utilise the Loving Might and Ability of Life's potential, which can only operate in this physical/third dimension through us, we must first recognise and believe this to be a Truth. 

Now, if this “living an ideal life” business was easy, every man and his dog would be doing it!  However the only reason it isn’t easy is because of our prior conditioning – that is beliefs and decisions about Life and how It operates that are incomplete and limiting.  How’s it going for you so far?  Are your current beliefs about yourself and Life serving you, and all your affairs, well?

The reason Anthony and I looked for what else people were writing, saying, and doing to live a more ‘ideal’ life was because the information we had wasn’t cutting it – in any area of our life (home, work, relationships).  And it certainly wasn’t bestowing upon us the greater fullness of joyous living that can only be described as Love and Beauty. 

I am delighted to share however that these days Life is expressing itself more lovingly and beautifully through us…and it is certainly becoming easier and easier to Be this way.

“This means realising our life as drawn direct from the Originating Spirit; and if we now understand that the Thought or Imagination of the Spirit is the great reality of Being, and that all material facts are only correspondences, then it logically follows that what we have to do is to maintain our individual place in the Thought of the Parent Mind."

On the Universal Truths Facebook Page this week I shared another of a number of quotes that come up as reminders/affirmations on my phone daily – some of which have been coming up for in excess of 110 days.  This one reads, "I give thanks for already having received on the invisible, and make active preparation for receiving on the visible."

Over this weekend, and in my upcoming posts, I'll be developing ways to share exactly what I'm thinking and doing to actively prepare to receive our additional dwelling in Brisbane – well, to the extent that I can in 700-1000 words at a time.  Perhaps I’ll add some video blogging along the way..?  I'll also be writing a whole lot more in the coming weeks as I acquire a tool of the trade to support this overwhelming desire to write, write, write and share, share, share.

The Waiting Game

A blog about Manifestation

The greatest fascination I have currently, regarding the Law of Attraction, New Thought, or Mental Science, is the speed at which it takes to manifest our desired objects, relationships and conditions.

Is there a way to determine or influence how long it takes for our "stuff" to show up?

I honestly believe there is, and one of the ways I am applying and improving this process is by gaining a greater understanding of the Natural Law of Growth as well as getting into the Spirit of a Thing.

Allow me to explain my interpretation of the Natural Law of Growth concept with these examples...

Simply put, if my desire is to draw to myself an ideal role, optimum health, a gazillion dollars, or a fabulous relationship, I must first become this person in my imagination.

As a man thinketh in his heart, so is he. ~ Proverbs 23:7

In doing so I will Grow into these roles naturally by attracting or drawing to me the right and perfect resources (people, places, information, funds etc.) and conditions (objects, opportunities, roles, learings, timing etc.) required to Be this person, Do these activities, and Have these experiences.

While today marks day four of my "ideal role" (a stepping stone to my grander aspirations of service), I rehearsed the role on and off (a significant inhibitor to speedy manifestation) for about six months in my imagination prior to it showing up in our three dimensional existence. I have been practicing on stage for three more months and only now beginning to gain some real clarity about how this is contributing to what my version of highest personality and "ideal" is.

During this time I have been observing a variety of feelings, especially in the past few weeks, and the ones I am specifically interested in right now are in regard to the three hours of travel required to get to and from my place of service.

When I consider "what's ideal" for the next phase of this journey, it is evident after 12 weeks that three hours travel, even though I utilise these moments productively, is not "ideal" for five days straigt, week in week out.

This part of the process we call Awareness. I am Aware that I would rather a different travel schedule.

My desired outcome in this role is to provide exceptional service. In doing so, I believe it will generate feelings of appreciation for my knowledge, skills and talents and also reflect desirable conditions of being highly valued - a reflection of the amount and style of value I am and will continue offering and delivering.

In Being and Doing what I next desire...what would be really ideal...is to Have access to an inner city abode, as well as the haven and expanse that the mountain cabin provides. This way, I can achieve greater flexibility in relation to office hours enabling me to perform my duties and provide the Executive I support with even greater service and value.

My first tendency when I thought of this was still to consider "how" this was going to happen. Although I know "how" is not my responsibility, I am now recognising that there are degrees of "how". Recognising and surrendering all attempts to control or dictate "how" a desired condition objectifies itself is what I'm addressing right now.

My role in this glorious, delectable Play called "Life" is to contemplate my undesirable condition from an uncritical place of observation.

Instead of thinking and saying things like, "we may not be able to afford it" and "it's not like someone is going to just give us a place", instead I clearly define "what". What's ideal? What do I now desire?

Here's what I am doing at present to surrender and release "how", in all its disguises.

An initial thought that came to me about a city abode was, "I desire a fully furnished apartment, on a top floor, free of charge."

By the natural Law of Growth this has evolved into, "My Loving Father/Mother willing provides me with the perfect abode, in the perfect place, in the perfect way, under grace, knowing that my deepest desires include:

• To be in walking distance to the office
• To have access to a large private balcony or private rooftop space
• That the premises is new and fresh or aged and funky (warehouse style)
• Lots of natural lighting
• Reliable hot water, heating and cooling
• Reliable Internet access
• Easy access; and
• A car space

That or Better!

And, in a way I do not know, you do not know, no man knows,
it will harden into fact!

In my next post I'll share what I do to get into the Spirit of this thing called "My ideal city abode!"

Imagining for Another

I was going to share about the Natural Law of Growth today and used my morning hour train ride to tell you how I've been applying this to manifest an "ideal" next step regarding my new corporate role. How quick an hour passes by these days. 

In the meantime however, a subject of far greater urgency came to the forefront and so the hour trip home, and some, have been dedicated to this matter of monumental importance.   

You see Gabriella Salmon desires a man! And she's written to the Universe to bring her love forth. That's right, my Clayton's Lil Sis (aka GabStar, and a host of other terms of endearment) assured me today, and no doubt others, in her Post "A Single Story" that she is soooo ready to receive a partner that to save her from bursting at the seams, I'm sharing instead about the importance of being able to "Imagine for One Another".

Neville Goddard, in and amongst a plethora of other outstanding new thought thinkers, who assures us that "Imagination is the only reality".  He goes so far as to say that it is the one and only Cause of Life and all it's presenting conditions.  He also tells us to give all our attention to the assumption that a thing is so, because all responsibility to make it so is completely removed from our shoulders. 

 

"You do not have to make a thing so, it IS so. You appropriate what is already fact, and walk in the assumption that it is, and in a way that you do not know, I do not know, no man knows, it becomes objectified in your world."

My partner and most beautiful friend, Anthony, Co-founder of Universal Truths, is a man who has elicited the best-worst and the best-of-my-best from me. He has also "Imagined for me" on many, many occasions.  Whenever I speak of desiring a better condition from something or someone, and knowing the importance of being able to move away from desiring and toward gratitude, he holds me in "ideal", he Imagines well for me and holds the feeling of the wish fulfilled for me; as I do for him.

On our own this is not always a simple task.  After all, we are emotionally invested in outcomes and are not always able to detach from the temporary conditions that show the absence of what we desire.  Having studied these concepts deeply, and tried and tested them with convincing results, I am going to join with the young Gabriella by Imagining "ideal" for her - and I invite you to do the same. 

We don't have to know someone personally to do this. It's as simple as thinking about, or imagining what it would be like when any person's deepest desire transpires. It's as simple as choosing a final scene of sorts that would indicate to you that a young, passionate woman has found a new love. 

In doing so there is also something in this for each of us...it's a great opportunity to turn our thoughts away from our own all consuming world for a moment and practice experiencing the joy, expectation and gratitude of "wishes fulfilled" through someone else.

We are told that as we sow, so shall we reap.  The Subconscious Mind doesn't recognise whether what we give our attention to is for us or for another; it simply attracts a vibrational match. So while we are assisting someone else get what they want we are also priming ourselves, vibrationally, to get what we want. 

For me this now means that every time I hear, see, think or speak of Gabbie, I will say "and her beautiful partner". I'm beginning now to imagine her smiling and laughing a lot. I'm visualising us speaking on the phone about him and being visited on the mountain by them. We'll read posts of their adventures together as they grow and become.

I believe there is no faster way to grow and become a greater version of ourselves then in relationship. And so, my desire for Gabbie is her desire for herself. I know and trust it's for her highest good, come what may.

I see you Gabbie, just as I see others and hold them in "ideal". I'm imagining well for you - oh she who is now metamorphosing from her steel shelled cacoon, to the essence of power and presence that can only be found through the display of femininity, gentleness and beauty. 

Rest well fair maiden for your knight in shining armor awaits to arouse you. [pun intended] :)

Too Cool For You

"Keys to a Better Life" 

How do I get rid of an old thought?

 
During the week, a friend of Universal Truths said and asked the following:

"I’ve been thinking about something and have a question. I realised that ever since growing up, I carry with me a standard that was past on to me which hasn’t served me any good then and now. It's a process that I recognise is getting in the way of my ability to be appreciative of others.

Growing up, I would take one look at a person and 'measure' their coolness. 

“I got teased when I was younger,
so I go out of my way to make sure I ‘fit in’.”

I have these categories where I put people in certain types of groups: 'people that are way too cool for me'; 'people that are cool enough'; 'people that aren’t so cool but I would still hang out with'; 'people that aren’t cool at all'.

I don’t just do that to others, I do it to myself as well. I put myself in one category as if that’s where I belong.

Today, I know it's getting in the way of feeling free to be me with others I encounter.

“How do I get rid of an old thought?”

Whilst there are a number of discussion points around this undesirable condition, this post has been primarily written to address the question: How do I get rid of an old thought?

The first Universal Truths Key to a Better Life is Awareness. Only by acknowledging or becoming aware that something or someone may no longer be serving our expansion towards living our highest expression, can we do something about it.

Further, the problem is never the problem! The problem here is not that this person had limiting beliefs passed on to them, or that they are unable to fully appreciate others, or that they got teased growing up, or that they categorise themself and others. These are all conditions and whilst many conditions from our past need acknowledgement and forgiveness, they are not today's problem. In fact, I would go so far as to say, there is no problem. Rather, what we have here is another opportunity to ‘feel free to be me’.

A distinction between what we do and what other personal development and psychological approaches do is that the latter often addresses the conditions and asks ‘why’ a lot. Why don’t you appreciate others? Why do you think you got teased? Why don’t you feel cool? And so on… Upon delving into these questions there is often an element of criticism that emerges for one self and others. Also, in our experience ‘why’, in this context, is useless because it is endless…

Instead, at Universal Truths, we turn Key 2 and suggest that once our awareness toward desirable or undesirable conditions has been identified, we become The Great Observer. That is, from a place of uncritical observation we consider ‘what’ impact has this style of thinking had? ‘What’ style of thinking is this? e.g. is it physical or spiritual, contracting or expanding, regressive or progressive?  ‘What’ feelings does this thinking generate? And, ‘what’ conditions did it produce?

Making uncritical observations broadens our awareness enabling us to become better equipped to contain situations, welcome them by understanding there are new gifts about to revealed, address them from the present moment, and progress in an easier, more elegant, and rapid manner.

Key 3 is to Refine our Imagination and is a real key in the ‘how to’ process. The masters tell us that ‘how’ is not our role to play. Rather, our role in the co-creation of our ideal life is to define and refine the ‘what’. 

We change old thoughts, word, actions and conditions by asking questions like, “What do I now desire?  e.g. my desire is to feel free to be me and to appreciate others. What feelings would the accomplishment of these new desires produce? e.g. feelings of freedom and liberty, respect and appreciation, oneness, worthiness etc. Who will this allow me to be? e.g. loving, friendly, fun to be with, relaxed, uniquely expressive. What new conditions will this new way of thinking produce? e.g. I’ll get to meet new and interesting people, enjoy beautiful interaction, and appreciate a variety of personal expressions. I get to express myself freely.

The more consideration and aliveness we give to Key 3 the faster we move from where we are to where and what we next desire to be, to do, and to have. You may wish to review the Phases of Change post for more detail about this process (a link has been provided at the end).

Once we have refined our imagination and given definition and life to the next greatest version of who we wish to be, the fourth and final key in the process is to be Grateful for the inevitable and joyous experiences that are already present, but which we haven’t been able to notice, as well as the new ones now rushing towards us through the natural Law of Growth and Cause of Life.

The moment we imagine what we now desire, the greater part of us, our eternal essence or the Spirit of Life becomes it immediately and through our focussed attention on what we want and how that feels now, we attract from Spirit its correlating matter or form. That is, we attract the like conditions.

So, in summary, my answer to the question, 'how do I get rid of an old thought?' is; by replacing it with a better one. And a process to do so is through the application of the four Universal Truths “Keys to a Better Life”.

1. Become aware of it (the undesirable thought and/or correlating condition(s)).
2. Contemplate it from a place of uncritical observation.
3. Refine your imagination by defining what you now desire.
4. Be grateful for its completion by detaching from anything unlike your new desire, focussing on like thoughts, and feeling the feelings of your wishes fulfilled.

Try it for yourself and let us know how you go…

Cause & Effect…

"Keys to a Better Life"

When we feel certain frustrations, we have a tendency to think that making changes to the conditions will fix everything. This is attempting to live by the law of effect & cause which is a reverse of the actual Law.

Using any law back-to-front produces back-to-front results. While it is true that changing our actions can generate changes to our conditions (effects)…our actions are not the First Cause of our experiences.

Acting better is as long term effective as thinking better;
both are surface level changes that produce temporary improvement.

First Cause consists of nouns and adjectives such as Being and Knowing so, when we change the reason (Cause) that attracted the undesirable conditions to us in the first place, we are sure to experience different conditions that ultimately generate more and lasting desirable results and feelings.

To change our unwanted conditions and outcomes, easily and elegantly and with lasting change, it is imperative we use the Law correctly. As it is the Law of Cause & Effect, we are to first contemplate the thoughts we have with feelings about the topic in hand, be it at home, at work, or in relationship. Following this key step we call 'Awareness', the rest is 1, 2, 3 * - all of which, in turn, cause us to take different actions which, in turn attract different conditions, and result in ongoing improved experiences and feelings.

Cause > Effect

Thoughts with feeling drive our words and actions
which attract, produce or reflect like conditions - (people, places and events).

Make 2012 about you, because we can't give what we haven't got and,

My Ideal Week

"Keys to a Better Life"

I use the Universal Truths - Four "Keys to a Better Life" (Awareness + 1, 2, 3), to plan and prepare my ideal week.

I also take inspired action to get there... Where's there? The feeling of the wish fulfilled.

Key 1: Awareness + 1: from a place of Uncritical Observation

I have reviewed my previous week's conditions to recognise what moments were not ideal. My feelings are my guidance system.

I know I'm observing my past experiences critically when I get sucked into the drama; and I know I'm observing them uncritically when they inform me how I felt when that person and those conditions presented them-self.

Key 2: What's ideal?

Knowing what I don't want, I then contemplate and discuss (only ever with myself or Anthony) what I would rather feel. What would I feel were I to have a great week?

Key 3: Desire / Imagination

I design a single scene that would imply fulfilment of my desire and I attach a short phrase (up to 3 words) to it, like, “This is great!”, “I love it”, “Perfect”.

Having clearly established what it would feel like to experience an ideal outcome in any area of my life, I hold my will here (to the thought + feeling most predominantly generated in the above activity).

In my meditations, I make there-here and then-now until my picture is so alive with feeling as to make it Believable. Then I desire it no more. I can never experience in form anything I keep separate from me. To continually desire something implies that I don't yet have it.

Key 4: Detach

Throughout the week, in my mind, I will continue to Be the person who has had a great week and I’ll frequently, throughout each day, feel that feeling and repeat that phrase.

I’ll spend many moments in gratitude that all that I require is already available and keeps 'showing up' at the right and perfect time, in the right and perfect form.

Until next time…

Thought Power for New Conditions

 "Keys to a Better Life"

Seven Things to Remember in Using Your Thought Power
for the Production of New Conditions

from “Your Invisible Power” by Genevieve Behrend

 

1. Be sure to know exactly what conditions you wish to produce.  Then weigh carefully to what further results the accomplishment of your desire will lead.
   
   
2. By letting your thought dwell upon a mental picture, you are concentrating the Creative Action of Spirit in this centre, where its forces are equally balanced.
   
   
3. Visualising brings your objective mind into a state of equilibrium which enables you to consciously direct the flow of Spirit to a definitely recognised purpose, and to carefully guard your thoughts from including a flow in the opposite direction.
   
   
4. You must always bear in mind that you are dealing with wonderful potential energy, which is not yet differentiated into any particular form, and that by the action of your mind, you can differentiate it into any specific form that you will.  Your picture assists you to keep your mind fixed on the fact that the inflow of this Creative Energy is taking place.  Also by your mental picture, you are determining the direction you wish the sensitive Creative Power to take, and by doing this, you make the externalisation of your picture a certainty.
   
   
5. Remember when you are visualising properly that there is no strenuous effort to hold your thought-forms in place.  Strenuous effort defeats your purpose, and suggests the consciousness of an adverse force to be fought against, and this creates conditions adverse to your picture.
   
   
6. My holding your picture in a cheerful frame of mind, you shut out all thoughts that would disperse or dissipate the spiritual nucleus of your picture.  Because the law is Creation in its action, your pictured desire is certain of accomplishment.
   
   
7. The seventh and great thing to remember in visualising is that you are making a mental picture for the purpose of determining the quality you are giving to the previously undifferentiated substance and energy, rather than to arrange the specific circumstances for its manifestation.   That is the work of the Creative Power itself.  It will build its own forms of expression quite naturally, if you will allow it, and save you a great deal of needless anxiety.   What you really want is expansion in a certain direction, whether of health, wealth or what not, and so long as you get – as you surely will, if you confidently hold to your picture – what does it matter whether it reaches by some channel which you thought you could count upon, or through some other of whose existence you had no idea.  You are concentrating energy of a particular kind for a particular purpose.  Keep this in mind and let specific details take care of themselves, and never mention what you are doing to anyone.

Until next time...

Another Euphoric Day

 
"Keys to a Better Life"

I’m grateful that the sun shone brightly today....on every area of my Life.  My desire is for more of these experiences that give me cause to feel Euphoric.

If you’re reading this Blog Post, it's because you are significant in my life. You can be assured of that because a) we are somehow connected; and b) by my concept of you, you provide a contextual field of my available choices in this Buffet of Life.  And, this occurs regardless of how near or far we think we are in time and space.

I fall more and more in Love when I think from the place of; it's not about whether or not we like each other, it’s about Loving each other for assisting us become clearer about who we now wish to Be, what we imagine that Being will enable us to Do, and what that Doing allows us to Have and to Express – as an individual, a partner, a parent, a family member, a friend, a colleague, a business owner, a resident of a state, a citizen or visitor in someone’s home or country, and as a representative of humanity.

Depening on how you choose to express yourself today and my interpretation of that personality, based on my current beliefs and values, you play your part in providing me with immense choice. For that, I have only Love for You.

If we're not contemplating and expressing our personal personality
in every moment, then we are expressing learnt behaviours,
inherited beliefs or adopted values.

Our personal version of Planet Beautiful is possible when we become responsible for, and ordered in, our every thought and feeling. Those not living an ideal life, and wish to with every cell in their body, will know they are ready to do so when they realise they are already living it. 'Now' is part of it.

Becoming aware of, observing, and choosing our every thought and feeling causes us to truly experience this ‘Now’ and enables us to design the next version with purpose, clarity, accuracy and pure intent. Our journey is not haphazard it is always precise, on purpose and valuable right now.

We are always being a demonstration and expression of Life.

By ordering our thoughts and feelings it becomes possible to be still enough to hear what initially is the soft angelic voice of Divine Guidance’s whisper, beckoning us Gently and Lovingly forward. Soon enough it becomes the same volume as the sound of our voice in our head. 

We all desire Order and “Order is Heaven’s First Law”.

There is no one else to show us how to know Love (Life), for knowing Love is a unique, personal journey that we alone are to enjoy with the Source of Life. There is no other you on the planet that is coming to play your part.

We’re always telling others what Love is. We’re always showing others.

Transitioning with Awareness + 1, 2, 3

 
"Keys to a Better Life"

This Post is a practical piece and a follow on from the previous Post “Killing with Kindness”.

One way to turn this, or any situation around, is to use the Universal Truths “Keys to a Better Life” (Awareness + 1, 2, 3) by experimenting with the following steps:


1.   Firstly, become AWARE of the undesired condition.  For example, “I don’t want to see my child hanging around not working or earning an income and a decent standard of living.”

Perhaps they are dating a partner you don’t approve of, or mixing with peers that you don’t feel are in your child’s best interest.  Whatever it is, write down the undesirable condition as you currently perceive it.


2.   Recollecting from previous Posts and from what many of us have no doubt read, heard and experienced for our Selves at various times, we cannot change anyone but our Self. 

All undesirable outward conditions change
when we change something within us. 

So, from a place of UNCRITICAL OBSERVATION, that’s right – without criticism or condemnation, identify and write down any thoughts, words and actions that may have contributed to these current conditions.  Do your utmost not to edit what comes forth, just observe it from a “that’s interesting” point-of-view.

Some questions to ask your Self may include:

• What do I think about work?  Therefore, what beliefs have I inherited about working?
• What do I recall my parents saying about work?
• What do I perceive their attitude to work and earning a living was/is?
• Did I perceive my parents as having enjoyed the work they did?
• Did I perceive my parents earning sufficient income to enjoy a comfortable lifestyle?
• Do I enjoy what I do?
• What may I have said or demonstrated about work to my children? You may even ask them what they recall you saying about work or what they perceive your attitude to work and earnings might be.

It’s also most beneficial to jot down how we feel when we observe this outward condition our child, or whoever, is displaying.  Some examples again may include:

Frustration, anxiety, anger, fear, sadness…

What other words come to mind when you make these observations.  Do you have thoughts of them being:

Lazy, expecting the right job to land in their lap, having a poor attitude,
being negative, expecting too much…

Remember, we’re doing this from a place of UNCRITICAL OBSERVATION, so just notice!


3.   Next, CLEARLY identify what you now DESIRE?

The idea, as a starting point, is to identify the minimum requirement and some, to comfortably meet our desires. Turn each of the inverted statements noted in steps 1. and 2. to affirmative ones:

For example:  “I desire to see my child happily working and earning an income and enjoying a wonderful standard of living.”

Often, by this step, we can identify that the undesirable observations we make of others pertains in some way to our Self.  After all, everyone is our perfect mirror!

“I desire to work in an environment and in a job that I do happily,
earning an income and enjoying a wonderful standard of living for myself.”

It’s always about us!  Everything we project, judge, condemn of another is a temporary indicator of a part of our Self that we have a distorted perspective about (often an inherited or limiting belief).  When we identify and begin to think differently, i.e. affirmatively about that area of our life, our conditions must reflect that and the undesirable expression currently being observed of another will also fall away.

Write down what you would prefer to feel: e.g. relaxed, supportive, confident, joyful, valuable etc.

I think of him/her OR myself as being:  energetic, enthusiastic, positive, motivated etc.

Dispose of the notes captured in point 2. and make multiple copies of the ones captured here in point 3.  In other words, take whatever steps feel natural to ensure these desired states of awareness/consciousness are at the forefront of your thoughts.

The key is to think about, visualise and focus our attention on how we feel and what we will have and/or do when we, or the other person expressing the undesired conditions, are expressing a desirable one instead.  What will this do for me?

For example: I can meet my needs with peace and ease.  I can gift my family and loved ones in the most beautiful and joyful manner.  I can experience happiness every day doing what I take great pleasure in doing with people I admire and respect and who admire, appreciate and respect me in return etc. etc. etc.

Only when this becomes our sustained thought, i.e. our thinking is persistent, continuous, unrelenting and constantly on what we desire, will our conditions change to mirror that. 

Conditions ALWAYS mirror our thinking.

 

4.   The fourth key to turn in Awareness, 1, 2, 3 is detachment.  DETACH from any thought you notice that is unlike what you desire.  Employ a mental Gatekeeper to keep a watchful eye on your thoughts and emotions.

The thoughts and emotions we experience towards others
directly effects our life and the conditions we produce/experience.

Deny your senses (anything you see and hear etc. about a condition that is not what you want) and refocus on the thoughts and feelings captured in step 3. that evoke the images and feelings you do want.

FAKE IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!

Whilst it may feel difficult and unbelievable initially, the more we implement and repeat this process the more natural it will feel and the quicker the results will be attained.

Financial Blueprints

 
"Keys to a Better Life"

Recently I was chatting with the father of two young boys aged approximately seven and nine.

While tucking his boys into bed one night dad asked his boys what makes them happy?

The nine year old responded that money makes him happy and his father asked him why? The boy didn’t have a response right away so dad asked him to think about it and told him he would ask again the next night.

When he asked his seven year old the same question, his response was “I don't know”, so dad asked him to think about it and told he would ask again the next night.

The following night, the nine year old informed dad that money made him happy because he could buy fun things. With the intention of "pulling him back a couple of cogs" dad said "but you know mate, things don't make you happy, so have a another think and I'll ask you again tomorrow night."

The seven year old told dad that spending time with his family makes him happy and dad was pleased with his response.

Notice firstly, that people, including little people, always tell us what they want and what's currently important to them. Are we listening carefully?  And, what messages are we giving them in return?

According to sociologist Morris Massey and others, we inherit our values or blueprints regarding finance, health, relationships and spirituality by age ten.

What if then, instead of pulling children back a couple of cogs by impressing our own financial blueprint upon them, which may be limited by the beliefs and attitudes we inherited from our parents and other carers, we encourage our children to obtain a healthy financial blueprint and support their grand and achievable imaginings?

For example, another response could have been along the lines of "you sure can buy fun things with money, for yourself and others, that’s so true. In fact, the more money you have the more you can buy.  What would you buy with a lot of money?"

From an uncritical place of observation you can enquire what else they would buy?...and what else?” And after a few nights of this perhaps you could share with him/her what you would buy and then chat with them about what you could both do with a lot of money. 

Money, in and of itself, has no power to generate positive or negative
conditions, greed or destruction, or generosity and benevolence.
These conditions are always dependent on who the user of this commodity
is Being.

Individual expression occurs in and through the unlimited States of Consciousness we are choosing, from moment to moment, to express.

The rich man, the poor man, the beggar man, the thief are all made of the same substance.  The only difference being that this substance, our blueprint or beliefs and value of our Self in relation to a particular subject e.g. money, is reordered. 

When we revalue our Self, the world confirms the change – Neville

Then, our external expression of form (i.e. the money) simply becomes another tool or instrument to aid our fullest expression of our true nature being Freedom, Liberty and Life.

Refined Imagination (Part 4 of 5)

 Key No. 3 – REFINED IMAGINATION 

“When man solves the mystery of imagining, he will have discovered the secret of causation, and that is: Imagining creates reality.  Therefore, the man who is aware of what he is imagining knows what he is creating; realizes more and more that the drama of life is imaginal – not physical.  All activity is at bottom imaginal.  An awakened Imagination works with a purpose.  It creates and conserves the desirable, and transforms or destroys the undesirable.” (Neville Goddard)

Many men and women have written and spoken about the subject of imagination.  To-date, on our ever growing list of those we have learnt from, Neville’s work has been one of the most impactful. 

Further to what the 19^th Century Poet, William Blake, said:

 

“Man is all imagination.  God is Man and exists in us and we in Him…
The Eternal Body of Man is the Imagination, that is, God, Himself.”

Neville said that:  “Divine imagining and human imagining are not two powers at all, rather one.  The valid distinction which exists between the seeming two lies not in the substance with which they operate but in the degree of intensity of the operant power itself. Acting at high tension, an imaginal act is an immediate objective fact.  Keyed low, an imaginal act is realized in a time process.”

Do not be put off by the use of the word ‘God’ in this Key.  Religion doesn’t play a part in the teachings of imagination as the secret of creation or causation for life.   Both God (or Source, or the Universe, or whatever you prefer to call Pure, Positive Consciousness by) and Imagination existed way before man made religion.

Whilst Neville refers to this stage of creation as the ‘Definition of Aim’, Abraham-Hicks tells us that in the moment you desire (or imagine) something, ‘Source becomes it’. Abraham-Hicks professes that God and man share the same substance and that every man is in fact an extension of this Source. They say each and every one of us is made up of the non-physical substance (Source energy or the soul) and the physical substance (our body) with the non-physical substance being the larger of these two inseparable components; always connected, always part of the Whole. 

For millenniums now we have been convinced that we are mostly made up of these physical forms and that we must earn our connection back to our original Source or suffer for eternity in hell.

Having bought in to and tested this concept for our self, that imagination creates reality, we now observe all fellow human beings as living their dream life.  Depending on our level and/or the quality of our relationships, our happiness, our health and our wealth depends on whether we are dreaming up a nightmare or a nirvana.

Based on this belief, I like to refer to this 2^nd step from Awareness is the Key and the rest is 1, 2, 3 as Refined Imagination.  We are already creating our life and our experiences via this concept either wittingly or unwittingly, knowingly or unknowingly, consciously or unconsciously, nobly or ignobly.  What we do and what we assist our Clients do is to replace the viral way of thinking that has been implanted in our minds through the passing on of religious, cultural, other people's beliefs, values, limiting decision and behaviours and refine the mind with thoughts and imaginings that take us to and ultimately beyond our wildest dreams.

"To attempt to change circumstances before you change your imaginal activity, it to struggle against the very nature of things.  There can be no outer change until there is first an imaginal change. Everything you do, unaccompanied by an imaginal change, is but futile readjustment of surfaces.

Imagine better than the best you know." (Neville)

Until next time…
