While I am here I might as well

While I am here I might as well, be free. We spent so much time in life being discontent that by the time we get out of the “discontent” we are in our elderly stages of life. Why not right where we are in life begin to have a mind set on freedom. Freedom of the mind, is freedom of the soul, and freedom of the soul is freedom of this universe. Once we free ourselves we begin to awaken freedom in this universe. We awaken by beginning to see and experience change. We also awaken by way of creation. Once you begin to see differently you can now create an element of freedom in and around the globe.
Just a glimpse of this freedom I speak of, is able to cause a ripple effect of ever abundant life to unfold and become mysterious to the physical eye. This ripple effect is similar to the domino effect where you align all the dominos and knock down one domino to watch all the dominos come to a fall. You see that one domino caused major difference, if it did not fall all the other dominos would remain stagnant. This is the same as a thought. One thought can make or break what time of day your going to have. It has been proven that one negative thought is almost always followed by another. The glimpse of freedom does not have to be a glimpse; it could be a reality.
The only way it could be a reality is if we go back and reclaim our birthright. Many pioneers of the new thought movement like Louise Hay and Charles Filmore have explained that our birthright was always of life and not of death. I believe that this what the scripture personifies when it states “I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” The spirit beings that we are, has somehow been forgotten and replaced by sickness and death. I’m choosing to call sickness (lack, poverty, disease, etc) and death (is the absence of life or creativity in the human soul). No one is born to fail, its just that the environments we are born in are conducive to failure, due to lack of knowledge about ones original nature and birthright. If you become aware that you are a King and not a Peasant will you not accept the role of King? I know by saying we are where we are by lack of knowledge. The ego might take a offense to it but its perfectly fine to challenge the ego. This is beneficial; this might even cause its death, which is the beginning of freedom.  The truth is as spiritual beings we recognize that we are not created in the image and likeness of God to fail.

In essence the thoughts we think either pollute the world or save the world. Yes. We have that much power. While we are here, why not elevate our mind and speak to see the end of poverty and lack within our lives and the lives the people around us by of remembering our birthright. John 10:10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.

Why is it that we are always looking to find something wrong, in someone, or something? It’s like were continuously finding something to ponder upon. As women it may be our weight, this looks good and this area does not. As men it may be how much we make a year or our persona in front of our friends and family.
You see the underlying thing here is that we are always looking for something to critique or criticize to say that something else is better. I’ve recently begun to understand that the time it takes to criticize and look at the outward form of things is that exact same time we can be using to arise in conscious awareness. Conscious awareness is where one begins to look around them with a different reference of sight. This sight is called the third eye; the third eye is of divine perception.
This eye was the sight through which Jesus could look at a man and call him healed, even though everyone saw the person was maimed or ill. This third eye is the sight we must begin to see with. Once you begin to see with this sight things in your life will begin to shift. You will find that you no longer worry about your position or your weight; you literately have begun to see your physical body as the carrier of something much more divine. You become reminded of your purpose and begin to comprehend that your physical body is a mean to which the Divine himself has come to express himself.
I have personally found that trying to ponder upon what I would like to change and what I do not have opens conversation to the same speech. This type of negativity does not cause expansion but pollution. This pollution happens in the soul. Pollution in the soul will manifest to the physical body and cause illness and other types of ailments. We collectively as a society look past the enemy which are these thoughts and move forward with a new sight, to begin to say I’m above and not below and that I have greater concerns towards this universe I live in. Once the mind begins to elevate the body will naturally follow. Truth is you can’t be in a derogated mindset but expect fullness of life. This would be the equilvant of a magnet being attracted to a negative pair instead of a positive pair.
Will you decide to enter a new field today? I believe that one person entering a field of conscious awareness is the beginning of the salvation of this nation as we know it.

 Peace and Love,

Sand

Warm and soft to the touch
We are one
We are sand
Unique and allowed to stand alone
To be called a grain, yet collectively
We are sand
Perfectly aligned, perfectly put together for the purpose of being one
How can anyone of us lack?
Which one is greater than the other
As you search deep within our layers
There is no ending…
We are sand
We are one
We are beautiful
We are whole,
We are warm and soft to the touch
Because of our radiant sun
Beautiful as grains yet perfect as one

Peace and blessings be with you

Enlightenment:
Is to begin to see differently
Is to begin to see clearly
Is to begin enjoying life within
Is to begin living, acting, speaking in the richness of the resurrected Christ from source deep within
Is to see and resurrect that which is inside the “source”
Is to awaken in others truth and its presence
Is to begin to transform that which is considered illness in the natural into what is known and seen as the glory of God.
So now begin to see, create, move and transform!
Experiencing TRUE identity

What would it take to acknowledge that there is someone else moving, acting and speaking through you?

How long are you going to wonder about the presence within you that makes an appearance of excellence every so often? You, know what I’m talking about the presence that is full of love when everyone else is full of bitterness at that particular time. Or remember that time when you gave your last dollar to someone who you felt needed it? What about that time you thought you were going to die but somehow you made it through?

Perhaps these examples may have rug a bell, if not I’m sure you have had at least one moment that brought you to thinking about what I’m choosing to call the “life deep within”. You see the life deep within is the life that resonates with you at times when you’re looking  for an answer and you have the inclination that tells you to lean right while opposing the left. The life deep within is your spirit, your Divine Spirit that is the most precious seed you were formed with. You see, you are more than you think you are. The precious seed you were crafted with is that which is your “True Being” whether we realize it or not the house you point to is not your home until you step inside and dwell.

We must choose to dwell in the house within, the “life deep within” that we may experience the fullness of life. It could be said that you can achieve so many great things in life such as graduation from college, marriage, and the experience of having children but never fully experience living from the life within. Without experience from the life within, you were not really living at all.

The life experienced from the essence of your true identity is the life that most of all fruitful. Jesus teaches that “…He cuts off every branch that does not produce fruit in me…” John 15:2. This means that (God within) cuts off every connection in our mindset that is resistant to change. Jesus also shown us the revelation of mind renewal when he said that one should be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” Roman 12:2. Furthermore, Jesus taught us how to do this when he went away prayed to His father as stated by the father. Prayer is the innermost umbilical connection a mother has with her child, where the child retains all of his/her nutrients. This is the same connection we have with our eternal source within. We pray by simply allowing our “beingness” to connect with the life source within. There are many ways of doing this, for example meditating, singing, and chanting.

Life is so uncertain when there is no evidence of the defining presence within one’s soul. People are dying every day only to realize that there was a life that they fell short of. Therefore, why not begin lean unto this presence within today!

May peace and blessings abide with you,

I always thought it was interesting when folks talked about having a “Godly fear” towards certain things. For example sex before marriage and other “obscene” or “grave” sins that are thought to bring one to (mental) hell, if committed. This information can be misleading. Just to be clear I do not promote sex before marriage, without proper understanding of what marriage truly signifies.
I find it baffling that a God that permeates as love can be anything else. It is understood that; “Godly fear” means that an obscene sin is committed and punishment with consequence will follow. Godly fear can also be understood that one has a reverence for God and will endure challenges to overcome the nature of sin to maintain the blessing of God. This is all necessary, however detrimental when thought about in the God Mind.
A God that is love cannot be the same God that we fear. God is love, God is not fear. Nor does he have content of judgment within him. To say that God is fear is to say as the Course of Miracles affirms that to fear God is to be afraid of joy. Since God is Good with a capitol G, we can only find the supremacy of the evidence of Good within him. Therefore, only happiness, love, peace, and harmony can exist in and around him.
God is not to be feared; instead the ideals of God need to be respected. In essence as we respect God, we value and uplift ourselves. This is why it is important not to be afraid of God. It is imperative that we embrace the life that is within us and around us. This is truly loving and upholding God that we may behold the beauty of life unfolding. 
Having fear separates us from God. God does not want to be separate from us. God desires that we actually realize that he is closer than we think. To be afraid of this statement would be to be afraid of feeling air rub against your skin. God is all in all, not someone in the sky that we imagine with a cane waiting to strike people and send them to hell. But a God of love who essence is within the water we drink, the arm we lift and within the breathe we take.
There is no point of being afraid of God. To fear God is to fear joy, happiness, love, etc. Most people do not fear these attributes because they are Good. Today I’m here to tell you that God is joy, happiness, love, etc. Therefore there is no need to fear!
Mistakes do not have to be defined as wrong action. However, the new definition I’ve chosen is that which is an opportunity of the ideal promotion of self development and transformation into the ideal man. In essence what the world’s collective consciousness tells us is a mistake is actually an immense blessing to the individual acquiring spiritual awareness.
Peace be with you.

The Voice
     The human voice can be used to express certain emotions such as anger, surprise, happiness and even sadness. It can be used as an instrument by those who have the gift of singing. Have you ever sung your favorite song in the shower? What kind of feeling does that give you? Do you hold back or do you sing at the top of your lungs? Do you sing random songs? Do you sing songs based on your mood? In this instance we see the voice as an expression of feeling from within.


     In another instance “voice” is used in a metaphor describing the calling of ones life. When an individual considers themselves in their element or in a realm where they are expressing their talents, creativity, and passions it is said that they have found their voice. Think of anything that you have excelled at. Think of any kind of gift that comes natural to you this can be a sport, a certain subject in school, something you excel with at work,  drawing, painting, playing an instrument, community service, being a great listener……. Now imagine that each time you use that talent or gift you are able to create healing in some way shape or form to someone’s life; here the voice is an element of action. It is an action that has started from within the mind body and soul and has now taken form.


     We see this term used in yet another instance when a politician gains momentum in a race. This usually occurs when they deliver a consistent message that becomes popular by the audience. The element of capturing the attention of others suggests that the politician has found their political voice. Think about your day to day interactions with your family, friends, classmates, co-workers, teachers,  and strangers. What would it be like to go through a whole day of 100% peaceful interactions with others? Lets take it one step further imagine a day where all your conversations from morning till night in some way shape or form brought out the best of everyone in its path. In this last element we can see that the “voice” is an element that describes the impact or influence one has with people.

     If we pay attention all of these elements describe our voice DEEP WITHIN. The perfect being that is inside of you is comprised of a voice that has expression, positive motion and action, and influence and dominion over negativity. Have you found your inner voice? The truth is you have always had it. From the moment you were in the womb. It is truly not a matter of finding it but remembering it. You cannot find what you haven’t lost. The world is like an audience you are on stage. The time is now. Its time to step up to the microphone and let the world here your voice.

Blessings,
