The definition of freedom is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without hindrance or restraint. This leads me to ask a question…… Can my thoughts be a barrier to my own freedom.
To answer this question I decided to ask myself two more questions Do my thoughts allow me to be myself at all times? Some times we experience certain events in our life that give birth to sublevel personalities. These personalities can take over our thoughts and create a blur between our true self and our fake personality(often called ego). Do my thoughts allow me to choose my attitude at any given set of circumstances?
Your instinct to automatically react comes from a thought pattern that you have nurtured and developed for years, However your reaction or attitude in response to a situation can actually be controlled through the very mind that tells your emotions to get mad, sad, happy, and nervous. The truth is we have the power to have dominion over all thoughts.
This is referenced in 2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
So can my thoughts be a barrier to my own freedom? The answer is yes, but we can live in our freedom by stepping out of our solitary confinement which is our mental habits and giving a voice to the christ within.
I love you,
Michael

As the day passes by; while we are at work, completing tasks or running errands. What are the types of thoughts that go through your mind? We may even go about thinking about our next move while forgetting about the current move in front of us. We may even have a random thought about life in general, or about how this person just cut you off in traffic.
As I think about my own thoughts I often get a headache because they are happening so frequent. But what I have recently realized is that no matter what the thought is whether about traffic or your next item of purchase it is important that we choose our thoughts by allowing the universe’s experiences to bring us to higher ground; in our mind that is. If we don’t choose our thoughts they will surely destroy us. By not choosing our thoughts we are allowing the collective beliefs of the people around us to infiltrate and become more than we would like them to be. Allowing someone else to think for you removes your own innate imaginative quality and replaces it with a fear. We therefore, we need the universe to teach us as well as empower us. The universe is God’s way of teaching us. We see this in the scriptures often; an example of this is when Jesus compares Solomon to lilies in field in Matthew 6:28-29.
The universe is the Divine Mind of God in manifestation; therefore through it we understand and take into account lessons of mental freedom and peace. For example, as thoughts of confusion in dissonance fill your mind “look up”. Seriously, by “looking up” there is so much peace that comes from being reminded that you are living!
In looking up you are sure to have quick relief of the frequent mental conversations. While looking up into the sky your mind is clear in that moment; in that moment so much can happen. You begin to contemplate the beauty of the earth and commune with the glory of the beauty you are experiencing. In doing this your level of existence will begin to expand beyond yourself and what was a blur will become clear simply because you are no longer focused on self.
As the day passes by look up and contemplate the beauty of the Divine Mind in manifestation by looking up and experiencing the beauty of love, life and gratitude. I therefore challenge you today to look up and experience the gratitude that universe brings to you after you realize that your ultimate needs are met.
Peace and Love,

Within the last few weeks I have had the privilege of speaking to many individuals. A common concept that has come out of all our conversations have been about the reasons we are choosing to do what we do. It is interesting that human nature speaks of a sense of continuation, where we want to experience longevity in some facet or another. The concept of creating longevity is appealing in that we desire to eat right, and to have jobs that feed us so that we are able to go about completing task and achieving goals that we need money to accomplish.
The concept of longevity is not negative by any means, it is in fact positive in that we desire to accomplish, accomplish, accomplish…..after we accomplish there is nothing more to do but accomplish more. Is this purpose for living simply about accomplishing? Or is it about more than that. At the end of our life we may own a home, a car, have an abundant amount of accumulated wealth and realize that all we lived for was to accomplish.
To really live has nothing to do with material gains. This is often said but do we understand the reality of the statement. If you don’t believe what I’m saying go buy yourself something and evaluate consciously how long it takes you to forget about it, or for this “thing” to become not as important as it once was. It might take 2 weeks, a minute or a day but the truth is the value of this possession will soon lose its glow.
The purpose for living beyond what we can learn by spiritual books and gurus. The purpose for living is to be in omniscience of space where you know that where you are there is abundant life. Life is an element within itself that has incredible power. The purpose of living fully is to live a Life that transforms the life of others, and that creates a way for others to awaken change within them without guilt or lack of sincerity. This is life: to make another better!
Peace is with you.

Friends,
We can live very blissfully at peace if we simply take ourselves to the BAR. Going to the BAR allows us to live in the moment and enjoy life the way we were designed to. I am not speaking about the BAR in the traditional use of the word. I am speaking about BAR the acronym. Bar means: Belief- Appreciation- Realness. This acronym, these basic words can be the treasure map leading to something far greater in value than we can imagine.
Everything begins with a belief. A great attitude goes a long way. You can’t move forward with anything until you believe in it. In comes appreciation. Appreciation gives birth to gratefulness. What you appreciate appreciates in value. Let’s look at kids for an example. They are seeing everything for the first time. They are blown away when they see their first ball game, movie, zoo etc. Do you remember when you had that feeling? Do you remember being mesmerized by life? We can take that and channel that back into our lives. We can stop to see how beautiful the sun is. We can stop to chew our food and enjoy every flavor, texture, etc. We can experience our life as if we are experiencing it for the first time with appreciation for everything generating a profound sense of gratitude.
At last we arrive at realness. We need to be real about who we are and what it is we stand for. I can remember being a teen and trying to put up a tough guy act. I remember rooming the halls of school trying to intimidate people with a frown on my face. The truth was I just wanted attention regardless of what kind of attention it was. How often do we step into roles that we know is not a true representation of how we are? It may not be as extreme as trying to intimidate someone but we play roles everyday without realizing it. If we take a minute to stop and question our actions we can find our selves acting in a role that has nothing to do with who we truly are.
These three principles bring us back to living life on purpose. When we intentionally live our lives we stop existing and we start living.
Peace and blessings
Michael
