Motivation and Inspiration to Live on Purpose

We all have to find the motivation and inspiration to live life on purpose.  The power to will and co-create our reality is living with purpose on purpose. 

The decision to co-create your reality rather than be a victim of circumstance or a child of chance can be difficult when the world around you tells you that its systems and customs are the only way to achieve success in life.  When one decides to co-create their reality, he or she has to re-evaluate goals, intentions, and desires while focusing on what really matters in life.

Often times, when one says the word “purpose” some people get frantic and wonder, “how do I know what my purpose is.”  At Blue Lotus Living, we answer this very simply, “You give your life purpose.” 

And just what do we mean by “you give your life purpose?”  Life purpose is the child or offspring to the Soul Purpose.  Our Soul Purpose is to expand, create, cultivate, and enrich life by becoming more of who we really are and what we really are in our truest nature is abundance and infinite creative power.  That’s who we are.  Therefore, as we go through our life, we discover purpose for our life force energy—yes we purpose our creative power.  We accomplish this by probing our lives and determining what brings us joy and elation, how we want to serve humanity, and how do we want to expand life on this plane of existence. 

Although teachings and information can inspire us and inform us about our power, no one else can give us the answers to these questions.  We must desire to know and through our desire we will determine these answers for ourselves.

 Accordingly, at Blue Lotus Living, it has never been the desire or intention of our community to determine these answers for anyone but rather to inform people and inspire people to desire to know these answers for themselves without the influence of others (that includes us).  We want you to know your power as a co-creator.

 It is for this reason we call our community Blue Lotus Living.  We call it Blue Lotus Living because we hope that what we share will help everyone to rise up and live life in full bloom and his requires that one knows that he or she is infinite creative power and abundance. 

If we all live this way and let this be our reality and continue to allow inspiration to flow through us from the Creative Spirit, then we will find that The Most High Source of ALL Creation cannot be separate from us and through this realization (the only reality there is—the Absolute Reality) we discover our true power and just how infinite this power is.

 It’s easy enough to dream and plan according to the systems, customs, and cultures our society has already put in place, but it takes great courage, desire, and determination to live as a co-creator and maintain the motivation to live life on purpose.  I do not in any way seek to minimize the importance of dreams and aspirations because it is when we do not limit our dreams and aspirations that we are living as co-creators. 

However, we must be brave enough to expand our dreams, plans, and aspirations beyond the limitations of our systems, cultures, and customs.  Your dreams and visions cannot be limited to the house you own, the car you drive, and where you vacation twice a year.  These are but simple perks of manifestation resulting from living on purpose.  If we look deeper within ourselves and listen to the voice of the soul, we will realize that these simple manifestations of focused intentions are not the dream itself.  Often times when we limit our dreams and life aspirations to these simple manifestations, we suffer from discontent, and despair.    

At Blue Lotus Living, we are always hoping that through our writings and teachings, we are inspiring people to dream big and then dream bigger and just when it seems like you realized the biggest dream ever, you dream even bigger than that and actualize it.  This ever-increasing power to actualize one’s dreams is expansion and expansion is living a limitless life with unlimited possibilities.   

As we share workshops, performances, writings, and teachings, Roslyn and I hope that every person can see their own unlimited and infinite possibilities.  For it is in the realm of infinite possibilities that we create life as co-creators with and as the Source of ALL Creation works through us as Willing Vessels. 

So let’s live beyond the limitations of our societal systems and really invoke and evoke our power as co-creators all while allowing the Creative Spirit to move us on purpose.

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.

Can Creativity Pay My Bills?

Allowing creativity to flow without the analytical and bombarding thoughts that may very well devalue our work as artist can sometimes be difficult in this day and age. And the number one cause of these bombarding thoughts which take us out of the Presence is a little something called “bills.”

Yes, unfortunately, we all have accumulated them over the years and often times “bills” have caused too many artist to turn their backs on their gifts and talents while taking the path of their fall-back-just-in-case-it-does-not-work-out career choice. You know the career choice we often get trained for just to have back-up plan just in case the “art-thing” doesn’t work out.

But are we as human beings able to let go of the analytic mind which lacks the imagination to see the infinite possibilities available to us as artists and co-creators? And if we used the creative abilities of our Living Mind, would we not see that devotion to who we really are will pay the bills?

When I was in college, I met several artists who were getting degrees in biochemical engineering, writers who were majoring in Pre-Law, and actors who were getting their B.A. in Marketing and Finance. I usually said, “huh.” Roslyn and I took a brave road and got our B.A. in Speech Communication. For us, it had it all, writing, performing, entrepreneurship training, and public speaking.

However, the first questions we were bombarded with were “What kind of job can you get in Speech Communication? How much money can you earn in that field?” At the time of majoring in this field, I honestly never thought about it until other people brought it to my attention, I simply knew I wanted to achieve the goal of getting my degree and with that commitment, I chose a Major I actually enjoyed—something that more I did it, the more I loved it tremendously.

Things changed when I got out of college. People had a strange way of saying “Hah, welcome to the real world.” I would reply, “Didn’t know I wasn’t already a citizen.” Their words didn’t express it entirely but as I have grown and matured, I now realize that there are some people who glorify the struggle. The struggle of bills and they make bills the driving force of their lives.

So, can creativity pay the bills? My answer is, if you want it to. There are those among us as artists who can not see the value of their creativity. If you can’t see the value of your creativity, no one else will. When you begin to value your creativity as much as you would the money in your pocket, then you will soon see that creativity can not only pay the bills, creativity can totally improve the quality of your life.

The truth is, as long as we live in this society as it is, we will have bills. If you purpose your art as a profession from which you will create many streams of income, it will become your reality.

Accordingly, how do you purpose your art as a profession? Here are some helpful tips to get you started:

1. Know that your work has value.
2. Know that compensation is just. Nothing gets to live in this universe without compensating and recompense. As an artist, it would be inappropriate and unjust to “never” be compensated for your work. It’s okay to charge. You haven’t sold out.
3. Know the value of networking with others. As artists, we have the tendency to want to be the lone wolf. There is a reason wolves run in packs. I’m not saying get your posse rolling, but do find a mastermind group of people who share your intent and vision.
4. Invest and reinvest in your work as an artist. Investing in your work means investing skills and more skills training. Investing in work also means paying for things that will enhance you as a professional. Take it a little bit at a time, but be sure to build on your investment for your professional advancement.
5. Get uplifted by other people’s work by socializing with other artists.
6. Remain creative and never let the woes of competition take your spunk or divert your attention away from Purpose.
7. Let the love of what you do be your guiding principle.
8. Open yourself to opportunities to expand professionally and creatively.

Yes, creativity can pay the bills, but you must commit to turning your creativity into a profession. Commit yourself to become greater and greater at your gifts, talents, and creative abilities. If this is your focus, then your mind will open to the infinite possibilities that await you and no “bill” will stand in your way.

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 Universal And Spiritual Law of Radiation

We identify the Universal and Spiritual Law of  Radiation as a law significant to spiritual transformation.  The Law of Radiation is a practical law; meaning, it is not only a “that is” law, but a law which can be practiced.  The Law of radiation is defined as follows:

The Universal and Spiritual Law of Radiation is expression of Divine Activity. Understanding radiation and emanation conditions, the law of radiation asserts that one emanates or radiates according to one’s vibration.  As such, one’s approach to reality and ability to affect reality is determined by one’s spiritual evolution. The law is universal.  It is the outer effect produced by all forms in all kingdoms when their internal activity has reached such a stage of vibratory activity that the confining walls of the form no longer form a prison, but permit the liberation of the subjective essence. From a cosmic, spiritual, divine, and universal perspective, liberation means the ability of any conscious atom to pass out of one sphere of energized influence into another of a higher vibration of a larger and wider expanse of conscious realization.  This is the basis of all true and authentic evolution and transformation.

Conscious Creative Artists Are the New Sages – The Spiritual Endowment of Telepathy in our Artistic Expression

 As human beings we are endowed with very specific inalienable rights and that is the right to happiness.  However, as conscious creative artist—this choice to create as manifestations of God or Source, we are endowed with spiritual gifts imparted by the Oneness Blessing or the Holy Spirit.  One specific endowment is the gift of telepathy. 

We use the gift of telepathy to communicate wisdom and hope from this higher place through our art, artistic work, and creative expression.  As conscious creative artists, through our art telepathic whispers encourage and inspire others to allow the Creative Spirit to move them as they co-create their reality. 

For example, have you ever listened to a song and the song made you want to dance?  Have you ever watched a love story and wanted to fall in love?  Have you ever read a story of triumph and it inspired you to face your fears in life?  Have you ever read an article filled with information that helped you look at life differently or do something in a different way?

If your answers are yes to any of the above examples, then you understand the telepathy behind our work as conscious creative artists.  Does this inspiration and impartation of wisdom happen even when the artist is unaware of it?  Certainly it does.  However, the difference between conscious creativity and unconscious creativity is the same difference between co-creating your reality and being a victim or victor of circumstances. 

As a conscious creative artist you are deliberately convey a message for higher good and higher consciousness, just as a co-creator you are deliberately co-creating your reality for your highest good.  Yes, an artist can “just-so-happen” to tap into his higher being and create art that is inspirational and empowering, but would it not be better to do it deliberately?  If it is done deliberately, then you can channel this creative energy in all of your art.

Similarly, in life, it is better to co-create your reality.  Can you “just-so-happen” get the get what you desire from time to time? Yes.  Can you “just-so-happen” manifest one of your dreams? Yes.  But, wouldn’t it be better to deliberately co-create your desires and manifest your dreams with a loving and abundant universe?  If it is done deliberately, then you can channel inspiration, wisdom, and creative energy to co-create all your desires and manifest all your dreams. 

With this in mind, you may ask, what is telepathy for the Conscious Creative Artist?

Divine Telepathy is the communication of thoughts, feelings, words, or phrases without speech between minds.   Again, it is a gift of the Holy Spirit or Oneness Blessing.  Telepathy can be used to convey feelings between two minds.  For example, you can communicate a feeling of love in your artwork, creative work, or artistic expression.  This is what we are experiencing when we say that a painting or song or book “speaks to me or speaks to my heart.” 

Such expressions as this work “speaks to my heart” indicates that our artistic work, creativity, and art does in fact have telepathic energy.  Therefore, it is vitally important that we become conscious creative artists as we utilize our gifts and talents in artistic expression.

Furthermore, as we use our gifts and talents in artistic expression to convey a message of enlightenment, we are sages.  A sage is a wise woman or a wise man.  Using our gifts and talents in artistic expression to telepathically convey a message of wisdom is the Great Work and this is the concern of the conscious creative artist—the Great Work.

So the next time you write a poem, paint a painting, compose a song, write an article, draw a picture, play an instrument, play a role, interpret a piece of prose, or even knit a sweater, think about what you want the next person to feel or think when they read the poem, see the painting, read the article, see the picture, hear the instrument, witness the character you play, witness your interpretation of the story, or wear your sweater.  What are you telling them?  Have you set forth your deliberate intent with purpose? 

….A sage would! A sage would know his or her message and move forward in bravery and courage to share that message.  The Conscious Creative Artists are the New Sages in our society.  It is time we use our endowment of telepathy, intuition, insight, foresight, empathy, and charisma to convey messages of wisdom, peace and love.  The path of the Sage is simple.  The Sage is dedicated to the Great work.  The Sage is dedicated to the spiritual evolution, expansion, and growth of God in man and as man. 

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

Purpose and Intentions – The Energy behind the Unformed Stuff

We are continuously tapping into that unformed stuff.  This in itself is the art and science of being and becoming.  We identify this as being and becoming because the unformed stuff is being while it is becoming as we press upon it with purposed intentions.  This formable unformed stuff is in the universe as creative potential or dark matter, but also this formable unformed stuff is the creative potential which lies dormant in all us until we use it. 

As it goes unused, we feel purposeless and limited.  This purposeless and limited feeling surfaces in our emotional consciousness when we “feel” like we are not moving or prospering; hence, we feel this way because we are not becoming more—we are not creating or moving forward.  We feel this way because we have fallen victim to stagnation and complacency.

There are those among us who feel this stagnation regularly and feel their lives have no purpose.  For this reason, Roslyn and I are so “intent” on demonstrating the power of the Creative Spirit and teaching others to “let the Creative Spirit move.” Why?  Because in the art and science of being and becoming is something so loving, tender, and passionate and that something is your true and authentic desire which is constantly being aroused by the impulse to create.

This may all sound romantic, but we all feel the urge to create and become more.  That in and of itself is why we are here and who we really are—we are creators who have partnered with the universe to co-create more good, more productivity, more beauty, and more life.  We are conductors, vessels, and wells for creating, manifesting, and stimulating more life.  The level of our vibrancy to create more life and manifesting good is based on our purpose and intentions.

To begin this process, we must know our purpose for wanting what we want in life.  However, this would require that we have a vision for that which we desire and this is where it gets difficult for many of us on the path of enlightenment.  You see, for some unknown and extremely erroneous reasons, many among us think that we are “sinful,” bad, or undeserving of our desires.  With this guilt and regression hovering over the unformed stuff of the universe (our creative potential), the potency of our desire is diminished to do what it can so powerfully do.  In other words, we get so caught up in our guilt and regret about what we want, we can’t get a clear enough picture from the universe to map out the creation process.

This creates a barrier which makes it thoroughly difficult for us to manifest “through us” what we truly desire.  It is similar to trying to create a sculpture with hardened crumbling clay—yes; it is difficult to form, if not un-formable. 

This is why we emphasize that what the unformed stuff of the universe “becomes and what we create is determined by the energy behind its use.” Again, that energy is called The Energy of purpose and the power of intentions.  The Energy of purpose and the power of intentions are not tangible.  However, the law of purpose and intention is what motivates us.  It is why we do what we do and why we desire what we desire. 

In fact, what we create is only a reflection of what we are allowing ourselves to desire.  So, in order to effectively create anything in the material world, we must know what our true desire is in all things.  In order to know what it is, we must have a vision for it. 

Heroes and Sheroes – The Energy Charges of Hathor (Het-heru) and Horus (Heru)

Can an artist, scientist, or entrepreneur be a hero or shero?  He or she can when charged with the energy of higher consciousness.  A hero is someone who helps you attain something higher within yourself.  An artist can inspire you—move you to see something greater in the world that corresponds with the greatness in you.  An entrepreneur can inspire you to expand your territory and reach beyond the boarders others have attempted to define in your field.  A scientist can inspire you to reach a truth about life, nature, and the world that can only be recovered if your mind is ready to break the rules without breaking spiritual laws.

 And just what is this energy which makes us heroes and sheroes?  The Ancient Egyptians gave honor to this energy or charge through the Neteru/Angels, Heru (Horus) and Het-heru (Hathor).  Heru is the energy or charge of higher consciousness and consideration for the whole self—particularly what we call holism or the holistic lifestyle.  Furthermore, Heru is charged with the energies of higher order thinking and the higher self.  Het-heru is the energy or charge of health, beauty, artistic expression, sensuality, sex, and inspiration. 

Together these energies can charge mankind and womankind with a principle of power that reaches beyond the physical into the metaphysical.  And it is in the metaphysical field where truth and the Absolute Reality can be seen, felt, and understood.  With this wisdom, we understand how higher consciousness works to help us recover or rediscover who we really are and how we are woven into the fabric of a loving and abundant Universe. 

 Heru and Het-heru are charged for spiritual empowerment and spiritual empowerment gives us the volition for effortless (without resistance) spiritual transformation on the path of enlightenment.  The Ancient Egyptians believed that the Neteru were forces of nature working within us.  Specifically, they believed that each of the Neteru had a charge or energy which worked within us all from time to time.  Het-heru (feminine) and Heru (masculine) were two charges which worked together to empower us for all that is higher and greater. 

 Accordingly, these energies are often represented in systems of healing and transformation.  The idea of heroism, creativity, sexuality, and knowledge of self has been explored in many healing systems.  These healing systems include often time correlate with the Ancient Egyptian Tree of Life. 

 The Ancient Egyptian tree of life as it corresponds to the Chakra system, Het-Heru and Heru  would represent the 4^th and  5^th chakra.  Heru represents the 4^th chakra which is the heart (who you really are).  Het-heru represents the 5^th chakra which is creative expression.  Additionally as the Ancient Egyptian Tree of Life corresponds to the Ten Light Bodies Heru and Het-heru are represented in the Arc Line and the Auric Body. 

What does this teach us about heroes and sheroes?  It teaches us that each of us becomes heroes when we concentrate our energies and efforts towards that which considers the whole and inspires the whole. Irrespective of whether we are functioning in the office of an artist, scientist, or entrepreneur, as heroes and sheroes, we are empowered and charged with the ability to be inspirational beings through our connection to our higher self.   

 All the beauty, creativity, and true sensuality come from a higher place within us.  It is up to us through our willingness as “Willing Vessels” to determine if we will project this intelligence, beauty, creativity, sensuality, and higher order thinking for the purpose of inspiring others to be their true and authentic self.  It is up to us if we want to be heroes and sheroes—a powerful representation of that which is higher and greater in our Universe.  It is up to us to let our light shine.

Religioutize Me…I don’t think.. So Too much Love in Co-creating My Reality

I recently commented on a fellow blogger site called “U Create All” at http://www.reginaldc.me . He has a wonderful site and I highly recommend his content. My comment about “hearing from God or Source” is what led me to add a new word to the English language. The word is Religioutize. Yeah, my computer doesn’t recognize this as a word either, but bear with me here.

Religioutize, while totally made up by me, is a valid word. We all have lived in cultures that have tried to religioutize us in some way. Some call it traditions. Some call it customs. Some call it, yeah, religion. When you have been religioutized, you are no longer a free-thinker. All your beliefs are spearheaded by someone else’s made up rules.

Over time, as the religioutizing continues, you lose touch with your true and authentic self and you no longer know what your true desires are. Furthermore, you lose sight of your vision of purpose in life. Religioutizing has become a disease because some people feel it necessary to control others in order to feel empowered.

Now, I remember the documentary a few years back called Super-size me when the guy ate Micky D’s for nearly 30 days. That guy had to go on a serious raw food Detox to get his system cleaned out. I suggest the same for anyone who has been Religioutized…detoxify now.

I remembered when I detoxified from being religioutized. For a while, I felt all alone in the world, but soon I began to walk the path of enlightenment through meditation, yoga, and journaling. As I meditated, I emptied my mind of all the religiosity I’d been taught over the years. As I practiced yoga, I regained my composure and began to live life from the inside out. And when I journaled, I poured out ignorance and poured in luminosity and truth. And with luminosity and truth, I was fulfilled. I was fulfilled without judgment of others, criticism of who I am in the image and likeness of the Source of All Creation.

Now, as a free-thinker, lover of all creation, co-creator of my reality with a loving Source of All-that-is, I am not about to go back to religion. I am not about to shut off my brain and my heart again. I have detoxified and now I am enjoying all the love associated with co-creating my reality. Religioutize me, I don’t think so; there is too much love in co-creating my reality.

Your Detox plan may be a little different from mine, but whatever Detox plan you choose, remember your quest here on planet earth is to enjoy life, create, be an expression of All-that-is, love, prosper, and live as your true and authentic self.

A Day in the Life of a Holistic Creative Entrepreneur

You awaken before dawn and find a quiet place to meditate on the goodness that is in your reality now. You are an entrepreneur on the path of enlightenment. You are dedicated to living a holistic lifestyle. You are determined each day to use your creative potential to its fullest. You know that it is the use of this creative potential along with your gifts and talents which adds to your competence. You know that the skills and abilities you have acquired over the years garnish your competency. However, you also know that it is your spiritual aptitude which makes you the accomplished entrepreneur you are and are continuing to become. You are confident that there is not anything you can not do be, or have.

You see each day as a wonderful blessing and an opportunity to do great things in your life. Each day is a gift and a reminder that you truly do co-create your life with an inexhaustible universe.

Exhilarated with hope, right before the sun peers into the horizon you begin to practice your yoga routine. You feel more and more empowered as the sun rises. Completely renewed, you dedicate a sun salutation to a brand new morning. Thankful and grateful for a new day filled with infinite possibilities, instead of singing the latest tune, you chant beautiful and powerful mantras, declare affirmations, and set your intentions for the day as you shower. Feeling refreshed, you remind yourself of all the things you are grateful for in your life. Immediately after grooming, you say a prayer visualizing all the great things which will happen today and how today will be safe, secure, and yes, fun.

The day has already set the pace of being peaceful, productive, creative, and joyful. The transition from home life to career life is simple and seamless. There is no frustration or need to pause to get it together because you don’t have to do or be anyone different than who you really are.

Are your activities different? Perhaps, your activities are more focused toward a different intention or goal, but the purpose for you is the same. Why? The purpose for you is the same because as a holistic creative entrepreneur, you have a vision of purpose for your life and all things—all career and work activities align with this vision. You know and are aware of your true and authentic self. And your true and authentic self when operating in the office of an entrepreneur seeks to create things, services, products, and opportunities which add to the quality of life. This inspiration and passion is felt by the people who work with you and for you. This inspiration and passion is felt by each client or customer near or far.

And that’s a day in the life of a holistic creative entrepreneur. This writer knows from first hand experience.

Open Your Heart to Compassion and Unconditional Love

Roslyn could not have said it better; there is opportunity after opportunity to express love, specifically unconditional love.  But in order to express love, we must have compassion.  After Hurricane Katrina, I promised myself that I would hold on to compassion.  After the being rescued from the rooftop of our townhouse, both Roslyn and I were taken to the Causeway Camp where rescuers took people who had been “rescued” from rooftops around the city.

At this “camp” we saw very little compassion from the guards around us, the volunteer workers, and many of the people who had been trapped there together.  Everyone was angry, coldhearted, distant, and uncompassionate.  It was during this time that I learned that no matter the situation, if we are to walk in unconditional love, we must have compassion. 

 Compassion reminds us that we are all one.  Compassion helps us to reach higher states of consciousness and to transcend the lower self which can only identify with its own immediate desires. 

Additionally, compassion stirs our passion and brings ecstasy into the creation process.  How does this happen?  This happens because we become available.  Often times in life we see availability and vulnerability as a weakness, however when we are compassionate and walk in unconditional love, it is not a weakness.  It is not a weakness because  our compassion makes us vulnerable to the Creative Spirit.  In this sense of vulnerability, we become available to creative power.

I completely understand how Roslyn was once resistance to affection, love, devotion, and vulnerability.  And thank goodness, she grew beyond this resistance and made her heart available and open to love.  The remarkable things she has been able to do to help others heal their broken hearts would not have happened if she had not open her heart to love.

And let’s be honest, we all battle this resistance from time to time.  I most certainly have.  I battled this resistance because I didn’t want to get hurt.  The ego has a way of convincing us that if we open our hearts to love then someone will hurt us.  And you know what?  That’s possible.  Someone could take advantage of your love and devotion.  I’ve experienced it and we all have experienced it.  Why?  There are people out there who will take advantage of your open heart to love because not everyone is enlightened. 

However, if you choose to walk in unconditional love, have a compassionate heart, and make yourself available to love and devotion, and realize that love is dutiful, then you will begin to attract that same love, devotion, loyalty and compassion to you by the loads. To experience a life of love and compassion is worth the risk. You may have times where you get hurt but you can get hurt just walking out your front door.  Would you rather stay locked in your home forever?  I think not.  And even if you do get hurt,  there will be enough love in your life to heal the pain.

Being available to the power of love, devotion, and duty increases the quality of life and aligns us with purpose.  As we grow on this path of enlightenment, we discover that love will lead us to purpose and love will be the guiding force in all we co-create in our reality.  Love is the fuel of the Creative Spirit and the engine of the creation process. 

If there is anything we must learn for our own personal development and spiritual growth, it is this…Live to love and love to live…

Creating the Life We Truly Desire

Again, there is abundance all around us.  And we must know who we really are.  There is abundance in us.  By choosing to live as co-creators, we are a part of and in partnership with all that is in the Universe. The same abundance, Infinite Creativity, Infinite intelligence, and Infinite Organization that dwells in the Universe also dwells in us. It dwells in us as the Creative Spirit moves through us helping us to actualize our hopes and dreams. 

Because abundance is a Universal Law and we are woven into the fabric of the Universe, we have a right to live abundantly.  In fact, we are abundant.  We were not meant to live in scarcity and lack.  The ALL, Source Energy, God has given us the power to live in  abundance.  However, we must abide by the principles and Laws that govern abundant living.  We must learn the gift of converting the unmanifested into the manifested.  Hence, this will require us to tap into our higher consciousness and not rely solely on what our 5 senses tell us.  For then, we become susceptible to the ego.  We cannot live life from the outside in.  We must live life from the inside out.  Once we realize the voice of our soul, we must have faith that the voice of our soul will not veer us off the path of abundance and greatness.

Our five senses can be enhanced by the wisdom and knowledge of Infinite Intelligence or we can allow the ego to distort our insight and feed us full with illusions. 

For example, in ego, your five senses tell you that if you do not eat fat you will lose weight.  However, nothing could be further from the truth.  With wisdom and knowledge from the voice of your soul, infinite intelligence will guide you to the proper information on this subject matter.  You would be led to discover that the key is to avoid eating animal fat, hydrogenated oils, and cooked fats.  Furthermore you would have the wisdom of knowing that raw plant fat gives you energy and helps you to burn and metabolize stored fat in the body.  Cooked fat, hydrogenated oils, and animal fat is unstructured and the body cannot utilize or metabolize it effectively.

The ego makes decisions based on deduction, not according to true knowledge and wisdom.  It believes this must be so because well…this is not so.  Thus you tend to perpetuate illusions.  A fine example of such illusions would be, if you are in debt, your five senses in ego would tell you to get two jobs and you will make more money to get out of debt.  Again, nothing could be further from the truth.  Most people miss about 20% of their income before they even get their paycheck due to taxes, Medicare, social security, insurance and other deductibles.  Furthermore, with every purchase, you are charged a sales tax of about 9%.  Meaning, each dollar you earn is only worth about 91 cents.   Let us say that you earn $1,000 per week from your job.  In actuality, you only earn about $700 per week. When you factor in food, clothing, transportation, shelter and all that comes with it, you are only working to keep working.  

Is that abundant living?  Absolutely not.  Your five senses in ego can only manipulate current resources and  materials.  It cannot see, touch, taste, smell, or hear the workings of the immaterial—the Spirit realm; therefore, it cannot access the unformed stuff of the universe in order to co-create more and become more.

But, friends, as our true and authentic self there is in our connection with the Universe unformed substance that when tapped into will help us create the lives we truly desire.  This unformed substance cannot be bought with money.  It is unused potential waiting to be formed.  It is the x or y of every equation of the mind over matter.   It is all which is unknown to us waiting to be known.  It is Infinite Possibilities and this is the possibility for anything that is possible. 

The realm of Infinite possibilities is built on the principle that there is endless abundance in the Universe ready to be utilized by us.  Science has discovered that 74% of the universe is “dark matter” or unused potential.  The realm of Infinite Possibilities is than unused potential ready to activated.  It is how something can come from nothing. It answers how a man or woman can hit rock bottom down to nothing and spring up with unlimited resources and opportunities.  Once this potential is activate, the flow is on. 

It is the unformed stuff from which everything is created.  The energy behind its use determines its outcome.
