Your Creative Power Allows You to Attract Empowering and Fulfilling Relationships

Create More Love!

You can only use the true essence of your creative power when you are living as your true and authentic self.  As you live in truth and authenticity of who you really are, your creative power allows you to attract, build, and maintain empowering and fulfilling relationships.

With this truth, one can easily realize that there are no limits to what you can create in your life when you develop the Visionary’s Insight.  It is the Visionary’s Insight which sees beyond the dysfunctions of the Matrix and its programs and knows that when consciousness flows, creative power grows, and when creative power flows we are able to build the charisma and magnetism required to attract functional, empowering, and fulfilling relationships.

The programs and systems of the Matrix have miseducated us on the purpose of relationships.  Relationships are meant to empower the Soul and fulfill our lives.  Volatile and turbulent relationships marked by unnecessary drama leave us with traumatic emotional scars.  And these scars will require more of our life-force energy in order to heal. 

Many among us have wasted a lot of life-force energy trying to heal from turbulent, stressful, and volatile relationships we have attracted and held on to in our lives.  Don’t waste your life-force energy and creative power on turbulent and toxic relationships.  You can attract and manifest empowering and fulfilling relationships that don’t zap your creative power but add to your creative energy through the power of inspiration and unconditional love. 

An empowering and fulfilling relationship can be a powerful source of inspiration in our lives.  This inspiration can move us creatively as we live our lives because with this inspiration comes the fuel of unconditional love—love that is not weighed down by the conditions, fetters, and illusions of the ego.

When we get a taste of a fulfilling relationship, we know what it can do for our Soul. The sweetness of its nectar is nourishing to our hearts.  It does not confuse us and leave us scarred and dismayed, but rather it is good to the Soul and it allows the Creative Spirit to move us. 

The Visionary’s Insight can see beyond the Matrix and knows how to function in, build, and grow fulfilling relationships.  The vibrational frequency of unconditional love and devotion flows from our creative power and nurtures our lives.

The ego will settle for co-dependent relationships, but the true and authentic self desires relationships that are built on love and devotion.  The true and authentic self doesn’t want to hide behind things but it wants to express who you really are to those in your life. 

Too many people have developed co-dependent relationships. But when we use our creative power to attract and build empowering and fulfilling relationship, we can stand as one as well as be one in our relationships.  Oneness and devotion no longer frightens us, but we look forward to it because we know that Oneness is the way of the ALL-mighty which lives in and through us all.  In an empowering and fulfilling relationship built by creative power we can see the God in others and those in or lives can see the God in us.

Using the Law of Attraction to Build Your Magnetism and Charisma

The Law of attraction governs magnetism and charisma.  Quantum physics teaches us that some energies have an affinity for one another based on vibrational frequencies.

In the creation process, magnetism and charisma are important to those who want to create their lives.  When we master our ability to align with the law of attraction to attract what we truly desire in our lives, we discover our ability to build magnetism and charisma.

We have been told, “Either you have magnetism and charisma or you don’t.”  While Quantum Physics and the field of Spiritual-Personal Development refute this fallacy, the programs and systems of the Matrix will have you to believe that you ca not affect your own ability to attract people, resources, things, and opportunities which will advance you towards your vision of purpose in life.  However, those of us on the path of enlightenment who have unplugged and realized our power in the holographic time-space-reality network know we have the ability to affect our magnetism and charisma. 

You are Magnetic!

The ability to affect our magnetism and charisma is possible when we  unplug because our energy is no longer being zapped by the programs and systems of the Matrix.  Think about your computer right now.  Let’s say you needed some space for a wonderful program you want to download to do a specific task.  If you remove some of the programs, files, and software  your  you don’t need from your computer, then there is more memory and more space to add the program you desire.

Similiarly, when we develop a Visionary’s Insight to create our lives, we see into the Matrix and we know that our true self worth is more valuable than all these useless programs and systems we have downloaded into our minds.  These useless programs do not help us advance, actualize, or manifest our vision of purpose in life, but rather zap the energy we need to build our magnetism and charisma for attraction and ultimately, creation.  The very magnetism and charisma we need in order to attract the resources, things, opportunities and people who can assist us in the actualization and manifestation of our vision of purpose in life, is unable to build because our energy–our life-force energy–is being zapped.

 However, when we unload all those useless programs, we regain our mind power, restore our life-force energy, and with the Law of Attraction we are able to empower our mental faculties for increased magnetism and charisma.  This is possible because when we unplug and unload useless programs, we have increased our vibrational frequency. 

As we have shared quite often here at Blue Lotus Living, your vibrational frequency determines what you attract in your life.  If we want prosperity, optimal health, empowering and fulfilling relationships, creativity, peace of mind, and success, then we have to align our vibrational frequency with these energies.  But, it is difficult to raise our vibrational frequency to develop the magnetism and charisma for such energies if we are allowing our mind power, life-force energy, and creative energy to be zapped by the useless programs and system of the Matrix, systems and programs which do not advance, actualize, and manifest our vision of purpose in life.

This is the importance of the Visionary’s Insight.  The Visionary’s Insight can quickly see into the Matrix and knows what programs and systems are “not working” to further the advancement, actualization, and manifestation of your vision of purpose in life.  When you develop a Visionary’s Insight, you know how to unplug and unload what is not working for you and make room in your life for those things which do add to the quality of your life.

As creative and divine beings, our volition (power to will)  requires energy.  And it is energy we must use to radiate a specific vibrational frequency to draw and attract what we truly desire in our lives.  We can manifest our dreams and actualize our vision.  We can live a life on purpose, but it requires that we restore our mind power and life-force energy for our own use.  And when we use it with powerful intention, we will find that we will have the magnetism and charisma to attract the best life has to offer.

Compassion for Haiti and a Time For Oneness

This is a season for compassion and oneness among humanity.  It is at moments like these that we show we are Divine Beings…

We were all stunned, shocked, and saddened by the 7.0 earthquake devastating Haiti last Tuesday.  As a survivor of Hurricane Katrina, seeing those images of the people of the land, I was overwhelmed with compassion.  Years ago a genealogist, who had specialized in studying facial shapes, was certain I carried Haitian and Senegalese ancestry.  I have yet to research my ancestral background, but what I am certain of is that Haiti has a population of 9 million people.  Reports of massive losses of life are steadily reaching into the hundreds of thousands.  The tragedy which occurred to this beautiful island, home to millions is a concern to all of humanity.

In this country’s greatest time of need, there are thousands of lightworkers hailing from all walks of life that are doing what they can to bring aid, awareness, and luminosity to Haiti.  It is during these times of tragedy, our consciousness as a nation elevates.  The best of humanity reigns supreme.  Unfortunately the worst also rears its unconscious head.  And who in this tragedy represents the worst?  Conservative Pat Robertson.

Mr. Robertson, an alleged proponent of the “Word of God,” in his view of the reasoning behind the earthquake, piously declared that the people of Haiti made a pact with the devil.  Since his remarks made it to mainstream media, many of his supporters rushed to his side insisting that he never indicated that it was the reason behind the quake and that Mr. Robertson believes we should all pray for the people of Haiti.

But mind you, this was one of the first statements he made regarding the situation in Haiti.  The cause of the destruction, “the curse,” was his interpretation or reasoning behind why the people have suffered for centuries.  In a time of great tragedy, people of every nation have always looked to their Spiritual leaders for comfort and to give reason for suffering.  Mr. Robertson has been a leader among his group for more than three decades.  He was asked for a spiritual answer or reason for the devastation in Haiti; and his answer was that it was an ancient curse.  Hence the wrath of God has yet again befallen the people.  Make no mistakes family, it does not matter what Mr. Robertson’s P.R. is saying, in his reality, God is an angry and vengeful God. 

As a woman of color and just as a human being, I found his comments to be highly offensive, insensitive, and prejudicial.  Prejudicial from the standpoint of the influence Mr. Robertson has on a specific group of people.  These types of comments disconnect one from the oneness of life and the people connected to that oneness.  It disconnects you from humanity.  It inhibits you from feeling concern, compassion, and love for God’s creation—in all its fullness.

The Quantum Physics of Affirmations – Speak What You Truly Desire into the Unformed Stuff of the Universe and Manifest Your Dreams

The unformed stuff of the universe is unused potential beseeching to become and be realized.  Quantum physics talks about this unformed stuff in detail.  In fact, this unformed stuff of the universe is called dark matter.  It has intelligence.  It has potency (potential) and it is formable under your volition (will or willing power). 

Quantum Physics teaches that you can transform this unused potential through your vibration because this unused potential is formable.  You can form it through daily affirmations and various affirmative exercises and spiritual tools which give your affirmations power and voliton.

We have been told by so many people that affirmations don’t work.  Affirmations do work but those times when affirmations have not worked have been because they had no power.  If you do not add your “will” or your “power to will” to an affirmation, the affirmation will just be meaningless words.  In other words, use the power of your intentions.

Quantum Physics acknowledges our ability to form and affect our reality if we are willing to use our mind power and spiritual aptitude to do it.  The science of Quantum Physics and metaphysics asserts that we live in a vibrational universe.  All things in our reality will manifest after its own kind.  Just like you don’t plant apple seeds and expect oranges, you must be in vibrational alignment with that which you want to see manifested in your reality.  In other words, we truly do have to get into the spirit of a thing in order to align with it vibrationally and see it manifest in our reality.

Affirmations are powerful spiritual tools when you add your creative power and momentum to it. In fact, here we will give you three prerequisites to adding power and momentum to your affirmations.

1.  Detoxifying the mind with meditation

Sit in silence and cleanse your mind before beginning your affirmations.  This form of meditation is designed to “detoxify” the mind of the debris which can cause your mind to wonder and shift your awareness to a lower vibrational state.  If we want to attract the best energy to create the best conditions, we must address our state of being by shifting our awareness to a higher vibration. 

 You can reach a higher vibration when you are not weighed down by stressful debris such as worries, unfulfilled desires, and illusions of the ego.  This is one aspect of what it means to be “enlightened.”  You are literally “lighter” (as in spiritual and mental weight) because you have released all that junk from your microcosm. 

As you become lighter with meditation, you have the energy to direct your mind.  Yes, you are then in control of mind instead of allowing your mind to be controlled by circumstances, worries, and other peoples vicarious desires. 

Once the mind has been released and is lighter; you have the energy to added volition (willing power) to your affirmations.  We don’t want our affirmations to just be another thing we are saying to make us feel better temporarily.  We want our affirmations to have forming power as we speak to the unformed stuff or unused potential of the universe.

2.  Say an Affirmative Prayer

Calling those things that be not as though they were, has been practiced among Christian Mystics for centuries.  While some who practiced this universal principle were considered a heretic, many built their message around it.  The most memorable among all Mystics was Yeshua, the Christ, who stated in his prayer “thine kingdom come,” in present tense.

Affirmative Prayer or Scientific prayer, as it is sometimes called, is a prayer which speaks the positive outcome you desire. Through affirmative prayer, you are guided by Infinite Organizing Power of the Universe to take inspired actions or right actions which will orchestrate wonderful synchronicities that will cause your desire to manifest in your reality. 

In reference, a short time ago, I taught an Abundance Training class for Universalclass.com.  In this class, I emphasized the importance of being process oriented, meaning putting your attention and intentions on the creation process rather than trying to manipulate the outcome.  Affirmative Prayer allows you to “let go and let God.”  Once you know the outcome you desire, you can then be guided through the creation process by the Creative Spirit. 

Affirmative Prayer makes you aware of what you “really” desire.  By practicing affirmative prayer before declaring your daily affirmations, you are asserting your desire; furthermore, you are increasing your conscious awareness of what you truly desire. 

Sometimes we just don’t know the power of increasing our conscious awareness.  When we increase our conscious awareness, we are aligning vibrationally with our desire.  As we are in sync with our desire, then the orchestration of the universe takes place and by way of the Law of Attraction you will attract every resource, thing, person, or opportunity necessary to bring your desire into your reality.

3.  Journaling in Present Tense

Journaling in present tense may very well sound crazy to some people.  But I have to make a statement that some people believe is a cliché nowadays…”In order to receive something you have never had before, you will have to do something you have never done before. “  Although rather cliché’ –ish, the saying still has a bit of Zen to it. 

Journaling in present tense before declaring your affirmations will make your affirmations more real to you.  When we are writing, we are using our conscious mind and our subconscious mind is visualizing what we are writing.  When you spend time writing your desires regularly in present tense, you are having that experience now.  And as we have been told, the subconscious mind does not know the difference between a mental experience and a physical experience. 

For instance, if you want to be a homeowner and you wrote:

“I love being in my new home.  As I walk through the rooms of my home, I feel peace and joy.  My gourmet kitchen is always stocked filled with fresh foods. I entertain family and friends in my kitchen and we enjoy having dinner parties in my formal dining room.  My husband, my children, and I have movie night every Thursday in the family room.  There is always laughter in my home.”

Now, if you wrote this in your journal in present tense and later said the affirmation “I am a homeowner who experiences financial freedom while enjoying my home with my family,” the above journal entry is in vibrational alignment with the affirmation.  The affirmation has power and volition because you have “vision” which is in tuned with the frequency of your “homeowner” affirmation. 

Quantum physics teaches us just how powerful the human mind is.  We truly do have the power to co-create our reality with our loving and abundant universe; however, we must be proactive in doing so by practicing Quantum physics of affirmations to manifest our desires and actualize our dreams. 

Meditation, prayer, and journaling before you do your affirmations daily will add creative power to your affirmations.  We can say our affirmations in a sing-song repetitive manner or we can use our infinite potential and allow our affirmations to empower us. 

By practicing the Quantum Physics of Affirmations, we do something much more substantial and much more momentous.  What we are doing is speaking to the unformed stuff of the universe and forming it to manifest our dreams and our vision of purpose in life.

Friends, we are much more powerful than we know and we have the entire Universe willing to work with us and through us to make our dreams a reality.  What we must learn is that the dreams we have are in us for a reason.  These dreams, our visions, were seeded in us long before we took our first breath of life. 

Our dreams were seeded in our Soul to manifest in our reality and we can proactively co-create the manifestation of these dreams by practicing the Quantum Physics of Affirmations.  Speak your reality as you truly desire to experience it now.

How to Use Your Spiritual Gifts Everyday…Even When You Don’t Know What They Are

Rediscovering your spiritual gifts and true talents is a daily developmental process.  You don’t just jump up one morning and know what your spiritual gifts and true talents are without the practice of asserting purpose and intentions or purposed intentions.  We have often stated at Blue Lotus Living that we should create consciously in other words, the creation process should be deliberate creation. 

Deliberate creation does require that we understand that rediscovering our gifts and talents is something we must be committed to.  It requires the discipline of wholeheartedly doing our spiritual work daily:  This spiritual work includes:

 (1)   Meditation:  We meditate daily for the purpose of increasing our awareness and to live from higher consciousness.  Through meditation, we can hear from the voice of our soul without any words being spoken at all.  The voice of our soul communicates to us in ways that seems like impressions which are from that all-knowing place within us that we call “The Oracle Within.”  This all-knowing place reveals to us ways in which we can rediscover and use our spiritual gifts and talents.

(2)   Prayer:  Prayer allows us to tap into the field of infinite possibilities with our desire, faith, and belief.  It is through our prayers that we open our hearts to infinite possibilities and wonderful synchronicities begin to happen.

(3)   Affirmations:  Affirmations are your voice reaching into the cosmic order of the universe and affirming who you really are and what you truly desire.  Your spiritual gifts and talents are not only affirmed through affirmations, but multiplied and energized.  Affirmations work well with prayer and visualization in the manifestation and creation process.  The fusion of affirmations, prayer, and visualization is called Affirmative Prayer or Scientific Prayer.  Affirmative Prayer and Scientific prayer are very powerful spiritual tools for those on the path of enlightenment.

(4)   Visualization:  Visualization is imaging or creating vivid images of what you truly desire with your third eye or mind’s eye.  Your spiritual gifts and talents will expand and grow with the daily practice of visualization.  Not only will they expand and grow but your spiritual gifts and talents will have the power to spread inspiration—that’s right, you will inspire others to inspire other people.  This is what makes inspiration absolutely contagious. 

(5)   Journaling:  Yes, write it down and make it plain.  There is something magical, yet mystical that happens when we write things down.  To affirm our spiritual gifts and bring these gifts into our awareness, we can start by writing down our abilities and skills.  Remember there is nothing that is too simple or too small.  Even if we have great organizing skills, this alone can be evidence of a spiritual gift.  Hmm?  Perhaps you are gifted in bring divine peace and order to an environment or situation?  As chaotic as things can get in our society at times, who couldn’t benefit from peace and order?

These daily practices will then create impulses that when aroused through your discipline creates a vision.  Your vision, when expounded upon, becomes your vision of purpose in life.  You will not discover what your spiritual gifts and true talents are without spending time developing and honing in on your vision of purpose in life.   This is the beginning of realization or self-realization.  In self-realization you begin to use your power to create your reality while in partnership with our loving and abundant universe.  Building your partnership with our loving abundant universe as you create your reality is called co-creation.

Realization is the key to knowing what your spiritual gifts and talents are.  As co-creators, realization is our breakthrough in all things.

Yes, spiritual gifts and true talents must be “realized” just like everything else in our lives.  And what do we mean by “realized.”  In the process of realization, we recover and rediscover what is true and authentic for our own soul development.  Yes, we are literally in a joyous recovery as we grow on the path of enlightenment and rediscover who we really are. In this recovery and rediscovery, there is a great deal of “re-cognition” that must take place in our soul development and this includes our spiritual gifts and talents. 

“Re-cognition” is really a three-step process for those of us on the path of enlightenment as we “realize” our gifts and talents.  Our re-cognition process is three-step:

(1)    Re-cognition is giving a token of acknowledgement or gratitude for what you have.  In other words, you may not know what your spiritual gifts and talents may be, but you can give acknowledgment and show gratitude for those abilities you do know about.  And the best way to show gratitude and to acknowledge these gifts is by using them.

(2)    Re-cognition is also identification based on pass knowledge.  We are re-cognizing our spiritual gifts and true talents because we are re-discovering what has already been within us and used by us before through some soul experience.  Accordingly, to identify our spiritual gifts and talents, we must spend time in prayer and meditation.  We must also spend time affirming those abilities we do have.  If we do not affirm those abilities we do recognize, then how are we to connect with the energy necessary to identify our gifts and talents.  In other words, you may discover that you give good advice.  It may seem like a simple ability, but it may be significant.  By utilizing and affirming this ability, you may discover you have the spiritual gift of insight, communicating divine wisdom, and discernment.  That’s not a minute thing.  Ask anyone.  Helping to bring someone out of a state of confusion into a state of awareness is powerful. 

(3)    And that brings us to…Re-cognition is also validating the existence and power of a thing.  Sometimes we don’t validate our own gifts and talents because we don’t believe it’s worth anything.  We have to see our spiritual gifts and talents as valuable.  In fact, we have to see our creativity (The Creative Spirit moving through us) as being more valuable than the money in our pocket. 

With these “re-cognition” steps, continual meditation, and prayer, we will rediscover our gifts and talents.  So, how do we use our spiritual gifts and talents each and every day even when we have yet to know what they truly are?

We use our gifts and talents each day by asking a simple question:  “How can I best serve humanity today?”  Then we affirm, that “In some way with some opportunity or resource presented to me today, I will serve humanity in a way that will promote well-being in my life and the lives of others.” 

A heart that has been convinced and has visualized the opportunity to serve humanity in some way that day will actualize this intention.  That’s right, you can use your spiritual gifts and talents each and every day by affirming your commitment to serve others and by visualizing an opportunity to spread well-being. 

Remember, an intention visualized with purpose, becomes a purposed intention and a purposed intention is a powerful intention.  It may sound like a riddle of sorts, but it is truth.  It is truth because if you are really committed to using your spiritual gifts and talents each and everyday, it is not something you have “try to figure” out or something you have to use force and might to accomplish.  Using your spiritual gifts and talents daily is accomplished by your powerful intentions or purposed intentions. 

Yes, through your powerful intentions, the cosmic order of the universe will bring into your reality opportunities, people, things, and resources in wonderful synchronicities to assist you.  That’s the beauty of co-creation because as we co-create our reality with a loving and abundant universe, the ALL-Mighty through Spirit will draw to you by way of the Law of Attraction all you need to use your gifts and talents daily.  All you need is the courage to execute. 

Now, where does this courage to execute come from?   It comes from your WILL and the daily spiritual work we discussed a few moments ago.  Daily spiritual work such as meditating, visualizing, affirming, and praying empowers you as a Willing Vessel. Once you have decided to become a Willing Vessel and have been empowered as a Willing Vessel, the well of your being ignites all those dormant spiritual gifts, talents, skills, and abilities to use for ever-increasing good or well-being. 

A fine example of this was something that happened to me shortly after college.  After college, I had written several poems that were published by various publishing companies and in various anthologies.  I was very happy about the results.  Then one day, I sat down to write a poem and instead, I was drawing a picture.  Now I hadn’t sketched anything before in my life (other than a few stickmen and stickwomen), but these pictures were quite vivid.

A cousin of mine, Aquilla Miller who is a cartoonist, saw my drawings and thought they were great.  I submitted a drawing to a publication and received a significant check for the rights to buy the drawing.  I was once again very happy with the results.  

Later, I began writing what I didn’t know at the time were personal development articles.  I was paid quite handsomely by several small publications for exclusive rights to these articles.  And yes, once more, I was very happy with the results.  My aunt read some of my articles and asked me to speak at one of her women’s groups.  After attending the group, my friend Marcy asked me to speak at her prayer group meetings. 

It was through these small speeches and articles that I developed a love for personal development and reignited my abilities for public speaking.  That’s truly the way that it works.  We have to be available for good and good will show up every time thanks to The ALL-Loving and ALL-Mighty Creator. 

Your spiritual gifts and talents can be used everyday; you just have to pledge and commit to using them.  There are infinite possibilities and infinite opportunities available to you right now.  You just have to open your heart and mind to them. 

Affirming and using your spiritual gifts and talents is the key to being successful, experiencing financial freedom, living in purpose, and enjoying life again.  So my advice is…Open your heart. Open your mind.  Step out on faith.  And let the Creative Spirit move you.

How to Get Out of a Non-productive Environment With the Law of Attraction and Vibration

Your environment is important.  Some environments are non-productive for you and some environments are productive for you.  It all depends on your purpose and intentions at a specific stage in life or most importantly, it depends on your vision of purpose in life. 

 And your environment is subjective in more ways than one.  It is the subjective realm that determines your environment and it is subjective as to what environment is right for you.  In other words, what might be a great environment for one person could be a terrible environment for someone else.

 Your environment affects your vibration and your vibration determines the environment to which you are drawn to or the environment in which you remain.  Some would call this Law of Attraction 101. While this is most definitely true, your environment is not only a representative of the Law of Attraction, it is representative of the Law of Vibration as well. 

 The Law of Attraction works with the Law of Vibration in creating various synchronicities (the order of the cosmos working in our time-space reality) that play out according to your vibration.  For example, I had a friend from college who I saw a number of years back, she was a well-known party girl in our circle in college. 

 Since college, nothing had pretty much changed for her.  She worked at a bank as a Head Teller and she “lived for her weekends.”  She worked for a small bank in which she had the weekends off and on Thursday after 5:00 pm. She went home and planned which clubs she would hit Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Night. 

 “Yeah, she told me, I have to go out Thursdays because most Thursdays are ladies night.  Everyone will be expecting me.  You know the party doesn’t start until I get there. So Friday, I have nothing to give at work.”  Then she told me she had been working at the same small bank for 4 years. She said it took her 3 years to get to the head teller position. 

 Moreover, she told me how she really wanted to go back to school and get her masters and get a position in the marketing department of a larger bank.  She went on to tell me how she still lived in the same apartment she rented after college and how she still throws her Block parties for Halloween, her birthday, and New Years Eve.  “Everybody where I live looks forward to my Block parties,” she told me. 

I simply listened and smiled.  For nearly a half-hour she went on and on about how everyone in her neighborhood and the tellers she work with all want to see pictures she took at the “exclusive” clubs she gets into and pictures of what she wore each night.  She went on about how her credit cards were maxed to the limit because she wouldn’t be caught dead in the same thing twice.

Then after a half-hour rant on her party life, she begin talking about how hard it was to find a good single straight guy (her words, not mine I happen to know there are some great men out there if you’re available). She bounced the conversation between her work woes and her relationship woes for about another hour. 

Finally I asked, “If you found a good straight single guy, are you still planning on doing your thing at the clubs?”  I asked.

“Hell yeah.”  She responded.  “No man is going to tell me where I can and cannot go.  He better try to keep up with me.”

Then I asked, “If you go back to school, how are you going to manage to still do the club thing?”  I asked.

“Well, I mean, I can schedule my classes, like I did in college.  Remember?”  She asked.

“And work?”  I asked. 

“Yeah,” she said quite confidently. “I just can’t push my friends out of my life.  A lot of my friends expect me to be there or like they say, ‘it’s not the same without me.’  There are several people I work with that wouldn’t be able to get in some of these places without me and people where I live treat me like a celebrity.  I can’t disappoint my fans.”  She said laughing.

After I talked to her a little longer, I got it.  Subconsciously, she knew that her environment prevented her from attaining many of the desires and goals she had in life.  She was stuck and although she truly desired more, she tied her whole self into this “party girl” identity perpetuated by the ego.  She was still stuck in the vibrational frequency of the egotistical identity she created in college.  Her environment and lifestyle was only a reflection of it. 

That was nearly 5 years ago when I last heard from her.  A mutual friend told me a few days ago that the bank she used to work for closed down and now she is working for a retail clothing store as an assistant manager.  According to the mutual friend, she moved out of the apartment where she used to live and now she’s trying to get back in school, but financially it has been difficult for her. 

I didn’t judge her for what she chose to do with her life at the time because we have all been there.  We have allowed the ego to run rampant in our lives as we buy into the illusion of  the ego by not taking the time to get to know who we really are. 

As a result of this resistance to self-knowledge and self-realization, we get stuck in a vibrational frequency which causes us to attract people, places, and things that continue to perpetuate the illusions of the ego.  The voice of our soul may be speaking to us, but we are not listening.    

So how do we get out of a non-productive environment with the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration?  Well let’s be honest here.  Either you are using the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to co-create the reality you truly desire, or you are using the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to continue to perpetuate the illusion. 

However, if you truly want to change your environment from a non-productive environment to a productive environment, you have to do some things that Roslyn and I often say “makes the ego uncomfortable.”  Here are some steps to get you on point:

(1)    Meditate on the beauty and greatness of your being (your true and authentic self) through silence and present moment awareness.  Begin meditating for 15 minutes before you start your day and then build on it.  Meditating each morning will center you in who you really are and set the pace for the voice of your Soul to speak to you.  In this state, you are making yourself available to your highest good.  Being available to your highest good will transform your vibration to a higher frequency and get you out of a frequency that is non-productive to your purpose, intent, and true desires.

(2)    Journal about your activities for about a two week period.  Then note some conscious changes you can make that would be more conducive for the type of environment you want to live in and the lifestyle you want to lead.  For example, my old college friend could have given up her party lifestyle on Thursdays and perhaps Fridays and opted to take one class towards her masters.  This change would have transformed her vibration and she would have been available to more good.

(3)    Make the time to visualize what you really want in your life daily.  Visualization and imagination are wonderful spiritual tools and technologies for seeing more and recognizing that infinite possibilities are available to us.  When we visualize how we want to live our lives, our environment changes through the orchestration of the Universe, yes, our environment changes cosmically through divine order. If we never visualize what we truly desire, then we are not opening our mental faculties to the infinite possibilities of manifestation.  Therefore, our time-space reality never transforms it just continues to follow patterns of the same vibrational frequency. 

(4)    Make a conscious effort to find people with which you can network and build friendships.  Socialize with people who are in the environment you want to be in.  My grandmother and mother always told me to “watch the company you keep.”  They meant watch the people you hang around and if they are not living the way you want to live then you don’t need them in your life—that’s just good old fashion wisdom.

(5)    Write down a vision for your life.  Read it daily.  Remind (yes re-mind) yourself of your true desires.  In the day to day grind, if we don’t remind ourselves of our true desires and our vision for life, then we won’t recognize (re-cognize) our opportunities even when they are staring us in the face.   

(6)    Always affirm who you really are.  Now I am saying this wholeheartedly.  I love to party just as much as my friend.  That’s right I still party.  I am spiritual and dedicated to evolving on the path of enlightenment, but I like to party.  However, I do not make it a part of my identity.  When I choose to party, I party with people who are like-minded.  We dance.  We talk.  We drink fresh juice, herbal tea, and Kombuchas.  We have a great time, but it still affirms who I really am.  The only identity I hold to is that “I am a Living Soul with a Living Mind and a Spirit at One with Source Energy—God, The ALL.”  That’s affirming who I really am. 

Yes, it takes a conscious effort or should I say a higher conscious effort to transform your vibration.  You most certainly can work with the Law of Attraction and the Law of Vibration to get out of a non-productive environment into a productive environment, but it requires that you change your vibrational frequency.  Don’t allow the ego to trap you in a vibrational frequency that doesn’t align with your true and authentic self.  The voice of your Soul is calling out to you beseeching that your reality matches that of your Soul’s purpose.  You can get their by changing your environment to an environment productive for your spiritual growth and personal development.

The Visionary And Creative Entrepreneur Must See the Infinite Possibilities of Our Gifts Before Our Opportunities Manifest

Yes, to maximize our full creative potential, we must increase our prosperity consciousness and develop our skills as creative entrepreneurs no matter what field, industry or line of business we choose.  And with this comes the ability to see opportunities and resources available to us. 

Now there are plenty of people who will say, “But I don’t have any money, and I don’t have any “real talents or gifts.”  This is one of the greatest illusions of the ego.  Like a crafty magician, the ego has done a slight of hand on you and you can not see what is right in front of you. 

There are so many gifts we all have and it is only when we open our minds to creative thinking that we then see what those gifts are.  When we realize and see our gifts, the opportunities, resources, and people to assist us will manifest. 

This manifestation occurs because we are operating on the creative plane instead of the competitive and analytical plane and mindset.  What we are actually seeing are the infinite possibilities available to us and when we hone in on one or some of these limitless possibilities they become opportunities and resources.

The truth is, these resources and opportunities were always there but it took the individual who has a “vision” of his or her gifts to see it.  When you have vision, the provision of the universe is always made.

Ultimately this is the edge that all Creative Entrepreneurs and Visionaries have.  We have the ability to open our hearts and minds to infinite possibilities and draw to us by way of the Law of Attraction that which is beneficial because we are thinking creatively.  And when you are thinking creatively you are seeing the infinite possibilities available to you.

Now, when we say infinite possibilities, we mean it in quantity and quality.  There are an infinite number of possibilities available to you and each of these possibilities are limitless in its capabilities. 

Over time, as we continue to “see” life and business in this manner—limitless and infinite, one of the greatest instruments for an Entrepreneur and/or Visionary is realized.  This instrument is the intuition.  Intuition derives from opening our minds and hearts to creativity and infinite possibilities. 

Intuition is a spiritual discernment which when developed leads to foresight and insight.

This foresight and insight builds, grows, and expands the more you use it and it carries into all aspects of your life, yes, even business and yes, even for the development of your gifts and talent.

Now what Entrepreneur or Visionary couldn’t use foresight and insight as they develop, create, or expand their business?  What Entrepreneur or Visionary could manifest their aspiration without foresight and insight developed through intuition?

I’m sure no business person or artist would deny the benefits of insight and foresight.  In fact, I am sure those business persons and artists of sound mind would most certainly welcome it. 

To this end, it is apparent and definitely obvious that seeing is the key to manifesting in business and in life.  One of the greatest assertions we can affirm here at Blue Lotus Living is “Be successful.” 

And being successful is correlated to our ability to actualize the intentions, dreams, and desires we set forth.  In business they may be called projects and in life they may be called goals, but it is all the same—it is our desires. Over time, if we don’t actualize these projects, goals, or desires, we don’t feel the success we already are.

With this wisdom it is imperative that we commit to seeing what we truly want manifest.  Over vision can lead to provision.  It goes back to the old saying that if you can conceive it, you will achieve it.   As such, it is our foresight and insight to our own gifts and talents and their infinite possibilities which makes us visionaries.  It is our foresight and insight to our own gifts and talents and their infinite possibilities which gives us the courage to be Creative Entrepreneurs. 

So, with this in mind, stir up the gift. See the magnificence of your gifts as you manifest great opportunities for success.

A Metaphysical Secret to Success – Your Higher Consciousness and the Law of Attraction Work together to Attract Resources to You

The conscious use of your creative power by allowing the Creative Spirit to move through you works with the law of attraction.  It works with the law of attraction because it is the use of your higher consciousness. 

Focused and Creative Visualization, Meditation, Prayer, Visioning into Manifestation, yoga, and other spiritual tools and technologies, when used, have the power attracts to you useful and limitless resources, divine wisdom, positive people, empowering relationships, and enables you to take full advantage of opportunities you may not have realized were available to you.

For example, during my days as practicing success coach, a young woman came to me for help getting into a program that would enhance here career significantly.  She had attempted to get in the program the year before and was turned down by the committee over the program.  As her success coach, we sat down and I guided her through a Meditative Journey in order to open her subconscious mind to the infinite possibilities available to her. 

Then, I encourage her to start go to the place where the program would be held (local university in New Orleans) and begin imagining herself there in the classroom, seeing herself doing the work for the program as if she had already been accepted.  Well, she went home and did her spiritual work.  She also took inspired action to rearrange her schedule at work to make room for the classes in her evening schedule. 

Furthermore, she remembered that the department at the university which was hosting the program was headed by one of her old college professors.  She decided to write a letter to him about why she wanted to be a part of the program and asked him for a letter of recommendation.  He asked to meet with her and remembered her.  While he did not write a letter of recommendation, he did put in a good word for her.  Although she got into the program at the very last minute, she got in because another student had dropped out. 

As she told me about her success, I could see the wonderful synchronicities that took place in order for her to manifest her desire.  I could see the Law of Attraction at work.    This is the power of vision and provision of the universe at work.  Where there is not vision there can be no provision.  It is much like the natural law of supply and demand.  Where there is strong demand for something, there will be a supply. 

In our culture, we now have something called “Social Networking.”  Why?  There is a supply called “Social Networking” because people don’t want to be out here in cyber-world alone and webmasters wanted to get to know their audience even if they can’t see their faces.  We now have “Social Networking” because if this great demand.  Some very bright people got together and took the web to another level (i.e. Web 2.0).  Where there is a demand, there will eventually be a supply.  My friend, ask and it is always given. 

It does not matter how impossible a thing may seem, the man or woman who is open to infinite possibilities and using his or her infinite potential by holding his or her desire in their heart until it manifests…will actualize be triumphant and succeed in getting what he or she desires.  Again, ask and it is always given.

Our commitment to spiritual “work-play” such as Focused and Creative Visualization, Meditation, Prayer, and the like is our asking when we focus in our desire.  We are aiming at what we truly wanting and we are demanding its actualization in our reality.  The obstacles are real.  What is real is what we visualize it to be.  Once we reconcile with this truth—that reality is what we co-create it to be—then we will find the joy, fun, and adventure in co-creating our reality.

Furthermore, we will become available to the flow and the working of the Law of Attraction to draw into our lives the resources required for manifesting our desires and actualizing our dreams.  This is living from our higher consciousness.  And when we live from our higher consciousness, we draw to us by way of the law of attraction; the best life has to offer.

Channeling Wisdom and Creative Expression to Create More Life

The God in You is expressive.  The God in you (The ALL in All in you) is expressing your uniqueness as you channel the essence of life.  The essence of life which flows through you makes way for your creative expressions.  These creative expressions come in many forms and are vehicles for creating more life and more life is riches. 

Human beings often search for the riches outside of our true and authentic self.  Sometimes as human beings, we don’t see just how rich we truly are. 

 You are rich.  Right now, you are rich.  You are rich with creativity and often times you may not be able to see it or conceive it.  However, when you Let Go and Let God, you will find that you have the ability to channel through you creative expressions which glorify the God in you.  It is through this expression that you demonstrate your power as a co-creator with our loving and abundant universe. 

 Channel?  Channeling? Some people have a problem with the use of the word channeling.  However, as you rediscover and recover (because you once knew before being weighed down by the fetters of the ego) more and more about the Law of Attraction, Co-creation, and Manifestation, you then understand that everyone channels. 

Sometimes it is hard to conceive the idea that we are channeling.  Channeling seems like some gift extended to a precious few.  We think of mediums, psychics, prophets, and conjurers when we think of channeling.  Channeling is the ability to allow energy and wisdom from Source Energy to flow through you as a conductor, distributor, and conduit of energy.  How effective we are as we channel depends on our level of consciousness and our commitment to being a willing vessel. 

 In this respect, I began to recognize something very different about channeling as I recommitted myself to creative writing.  As I recommitted my focus as a writer to fiction and poetry as well as creative non-fiction and moved away from the technical writing, I discovered that I was channeling.  I channel the energy of infinite wisdom as I write creative non-fiction and poetry.  As I write fiction, I channel the energy of characteristics and personalities which develop into stories. 

Moreover, as I recommitted my focus to performance arts and moved away from the daily grind of grant writing and sales proposal writing, I also discovered I was channeling too.  I was channeling the essence of a character or personality or the energy behind a lyrics, words, and poems. 

I was able to channel in these artistic expressions because this is where my talents served best so the Creative Spirit moved because the volition of purpose and intent was present.  If my talents were best served as a grant writer, technical writer, or sales proposal writer then I am more than sure I would have channeled the creative energy for this work rather than working from the routine, formatted, and uniformed part of my brain. 

Yes, everyone channels.  Teachers, sculptors, moms, dads, grandparents, landscapers, ministers, yogis, and building custodians channel energy and wisdom to create more life through their gifts and talents.  As we all create more life, we enrich life, and inspire others to be an inspiration.

Being Receptive to the Channeling of Infinite Intelligence as it Flows From the Oneness Blessing and Holy Spirit

Channeled information is one thing, but channeled wisdom comes from Infinite Intelligence and that Infinite Intelligence is within all of us.  We are able to channel wisdom through us based upon our consciousness at the time.  This is why it is so important for Lightworkers to be filled with the light of unconditional love. 

 As previously stated, information is one thing, but wisdom is another.  We can channel information and get information from many different beings such as ancestors who have gone on before us.  However, Infinite Intelligence (Your Oracle Within) is knowledge and wisdom, not merely information.

Many of us on the path of enlightenment know the importance of getting direction from the Holy Spirit or being directed by the Oneness Blessing.  We know the importance of this because we have witnessed the divine results of it.  We have witnessed how all things work together for our good when we are directed by the Holy Spirit and the Oneness Blessing.  We live the wonder of manifesting our true desires without struggle. 

 And we realize that we become better Lightworkers and Messengers of wisdom as we are receptive to the wisdom of Holy Spirit or Oneness Blessing when it is channeled through another Lightworker or Messenger. 

Taking the time to meditate on wisdom as it has been channeled through another willing vessel helps to keep us “in touch” or “in tune to the frequency” of the Holy Spirit or Oneness Blessing.  As a result, the Creative Spirit moves and flows through us and we are able to attract the right resources, the right things, and the right people necessary to manifest our true desires. 

Some people believe this is just New Age or Metaphysical mumbo jumbo but fail to realize that we are all Lightworker and Messengers when we choose the path of enlightenment; hence, they too can channel wisdom through them at any time if they allow it.  Those moments when we say “Something told me” or those moments when we just know a thing and don’t know how we know it are moments when we are channeling wisdom if we stay with the flow. 

When you stay in the flow, you can channel wisdom. In fact, many holy books and sacred texts were written while the authors were in an “altered” state or what some call the Alpha Consciousness State.  In this state many of the authors of the Books of the Bible, Upanishads, and the Yoga Sutras were written.  This is why we find so much similarity in spiritual principles and teachings which were written centuries and sometimes millenniums apart.  The similarity is there because it all comes from Source Energy—Infinite Intelligence which resides in all of us. 

As a Messenger or Lightworker, many who are receptive to channeling wisdom know that they are simply a willing vessel.  Anyone can channel wisdom from the Most High because we are a manifestation of God, The Most High.  Those among us who make meditation as much a part of their lives as breathing are able to reach an Alpha and sometimes Theta “Level” where we are able to channel wisdom and get Divine Guidance on many things that can increase the quality of life. 

We can reduce channeling to Metaphysical and New Age mumbo jumbo, but once we practiced receiving the channelings, we will also find it easier to channel wisdom through us.  Like attracts like and if we are receptive to wisdom as it is channeled through a Lightworker, we will find that we too are able to channel wisdom through us.  This is how the law of attraction works.  If we align ourselves with the flow of energy (in this case being receptive to wisdom) then we are able to direct that energy through us (in this case being receptive to wisdom enables us to become a vessel for wisdom). 

We should always be receptive to wisdom because it is knowledge and wisdom that truly empowers us.  Channeled wisdom is another form of knowledge for empowerment.  Learning to be receptive to the Creative Spirit helps us grow on the path of enlightenment.  As we grow on the path of enlightenment, we become the miracle we are often searching for.

Co-creating in the Presence with Spiritual Enlightenment and Divine Productivity Catapults You into Your Life Purpose

In every moment there is a gift.  Each gift expands our opportunity to utilize our infinite potential for ever-increasing good, creating more life, and manifesting our heart’s desires.  For this reason we say the present is a gift because we know that to be in the present moment is to be in the Presence of God, the ALL in All.

When we become more aware in the present moment, we increase and raise our consciousness about our infinite potential.  This powerful awareness causes our minds and hearts to open to spiritual enlightenment and spiritual liberation.

As a result, we experience divine productivity.  Divine productivity is the ability to create more and manifest more in what seems to be a shorter amount of time.  It is a mystical experience when you can see yourself do more and accomplish more in what seems to be a shorter span of time.  Most importantly you can feel your soul being catapulted into your life purpose. 

And those of us on the path of enlightenment know that to be catapulted into your life’s purpose draws the enjoyable energies joy, excitement, and inspiration to life.  These enjoyable energies are the result of well-being, happiness, and peace which attracts wealth, success, and prosperity in our lives.  This attraction become inevitable because it is governed by all principle associated with the law of attraction. 

How is this possible?  How is it possible that being present moment aware with spiritual enlightenment can lead to divine productivity?  Well, the explore this wonder and gift, lets take a deeper look at what we experience when we are just going through the motions in life. 

Have you ever been so involved in the day to day grind and completely lost touch with daily meditation, prayer, visualization, journaling, and doing what we call at Blue Lotus Living Your Spiritual Work?  Did it seem as if the days were flying by and you never had time to complete anything?  This is what happens when you are going through the motions in life.  The hours slip away, the days pass by so swiftly, and it seems as if you are only living for that long nap you take on the weekends or your next day off from work. 

Co-creating in the presence or in the present moment with the sharpened awareness developed through spiritual enlightenment is much different.  Co-creating in the presence allows you to experience divine productivity.  When you experience divine productivity, you are experiencing “all things working together for your good.”  You are experiencing those wonderful synchronicities because you are purpose-centered.  As you co-create in the presence, you are in tune with your inner-being the very essence of your soul and operating in your life purpose. 

This is a completely different realm of being.  In this state of being, you are living your infinite potential and you are tapping into infinite possibilities where you draw to you by way of the law of attraction the best results ever.  Manifestation happens much faster with divine productivity.  Dreams actualize much more accurately with divine productivity. Your life purpose becomes clearer and your vision becomes certain with divine productivity.  And most importantly, you take the struggle out of living, manifesting, and actualizing who you really are in your reality with divine productivity. 

So, now, with this knowledge and wisdom, you can see that the present is a gift.  You can see that remaining present moment aware is the key to co-creating the life you really want to live with our abundant and loving universe.  God, the Source of All Creation, the ALL in All, has not restrained one good thing from you.  Your true desires can manifest in your reality if you remain in the Presence. Your gift is here and now.

The Law of Attraction Asserts that Positivity Creates Productivity Because Like Attracts Like

It may be difficult to believe that the Law of Attraction asserts that like attracts like.  We have been told for so long that opposites attract.  However, we grasp a clear understanding of principles associated with the Law of Attraction when we look at the correlation between positivity and productivity. 

A positive mental attitude is a productive mental attitude.  You can really see the difference in a person’s life who practices positivity.  You can see the difference positivity makes because you will see many manifestations of productivity. 

So how does positivity and productivity work together?  Positivity and productivity are powerful energy currency which work together to attract and synchronize your steps in right action.  In other words, positivity draws productivity which creates order. 

Sometimes, those of us in the field of metaphysics, personal development, spirituality, and even self-help can haphazardly explain what positivity is and how it relates to productivity and synchronicity.  We explain it as in complicated rhetoric which may convey perfectionism.  Then some may explain it  as having a nice disposition, thinking positively and saying positive affirmations all day. 

However, positivity is much simpler than this but much broader in its cosmic affect in our lives.  Positivity, which draws productivity, is the choice to live your life from higher consciousness and as your true and authentic self.  There is something about living your life with positivity as your true and authentic self that draws wonderful synchronicities and order in your life.  Things just seem to work out for your highest good. 

And just how does this happen?  Can the Law of Attraction explain this magnificent phenomenon?  It may seem like magic, but the law of attraction can most certainly explain how positivity draws productivity and wonderful synchronicities in your life. 

Positivity is manifesting life from your higher consciousness and committing to expanding your awareness of ever-increasing good.  This commitment to expanding your awareness of ever-increasing good emits a vibration which is synonymous with productivity and order.  Productivity and order causes alignment, harmony, and peace.  Synchronicity happens because inspiration flows easily and without resistance where there is harmony, alignment, and peace.

 In other words, positivity makes it easy for good to flow in your life.  And when it is easy for good to flow in your life, you can be more productive at manifesting the life and reality you truly desire to live. 

Negativity is the opposite of positivity.  The Law of Attraction is no respecter of persons; so, if you are operating in negativity, you are not living from your higher consciousness or as your true and authentic self.  When you operate in negativity, you are ego-driven and living your life according to fear, fetters, and illusions.  As a result, you have to fight and struggle for everything you desire and often times; you will find yourself confused about what you truly desire. It is like spending your precious energy and powerful intentions chasing apparitions instead of creating and manifesting your true desires. 

It may all seem more difficult than what it is, but the key is to operating in positivity is spending time in prayer and meditation in order to tap into the field of higher consciousness which is God (Source Energy, The “I AM”, The ALL) in you.  And when we begin to live our lives in the Presence, we find that the inspiration to live life the Blue Lotus Living way…in full bloom.

Until next time, flow in positivity and remember to live well, live wise, live wealthy, and let the Creative Spirit move you.
