The Power Money Cannot Buy But True Self-Awareness Produces

When we understand true self-awareness, we understand our true self-worth.  And this consciousness is powerful.  It is the power money cannot buy.

But Now I See!

The power money cannot buy but true self-awareness produces is the power of the Visionary’s Insight.  When you become awaken and unplug your mind power from the energy-zapping illusions of the Matrix and its programs and systems, then you become like Neo, the One.  You become the Oneness Blessing and your true self-awareness grows and expands into a self-worth money can’t buy.

This state of true self-awareness springs from the field of infinite creativity and infinite possibilities.  Without true self-awareness and spiritual awakening to oneness, we really don’t know our worth and our power.  In this field of pure consciousness , we rise like a lotus from murky waters.  The inherent qualities of this field are bliss, wonder, freedom, and wealth. 

Not so long ago, I asked the question, “Can Creativity Pay My Bills?”  The answer I received from Divine Intelligence is, “Yes, if you want it too.”  Too much time and energy has been placed on external sources of power which can be sold to the highest bidder in the Matrix.  And those who trade in external sources of power live by the code “you up one day and down the next.”  However, those of us who have discovered the power money can’t buy have awakened and we know that true self-awareness can produce creativity and creative freedom that will make you rich. 

The programs and systems of the Matrix will have you believe that you could never have such control in this holographic time-space-reality network.  The programs of the Matrix will have you to believe that you can only succeed in life through its programs and systems. 

It is when you awaken and walk the path of enlightenment that you discover the power that money cannot buy.  A power so strong you become certain—faithful to the voice of your Soul. 

In this faith and certainty, you live in such a profound way that abundance and creativity flows naturally and without resistance in your life.  You become the happiness,  prosperity, and success you once searched for.  And this is the Visionary’s Insight.

Every one of us who has awakened and who listens to the voice of our Soul sees beyond the Matrix knows the Visionary’s Insight.  We know what it is to see into the Absolute Reality or the Substantial Reality.  We know why it is said that “all things are created Spiritual Realm, first.”  We know what it is to live fearlessly without the limitations and fetters of the ego.  We have left the object-reference programs and we have realized the True Self and spirit-reference life which hears the voice of the Soul. 

And the voice is so loving, pure, and good that it transforms all of the fears we have into faith, love, passion, joy, and self-worth.  The voice of our Soul reminds us of who we really are and why we are here.  It increases our vibration to a state of Charisma which magnetizes us at a subatomic level and it transmits and radiates love, beauty, luminosity, and inspiration. Now, how much is that worth?

Creative Freedom and the Flow of Abundance from Pure Consciousness

An old 70’s funk song’s belts out the lyrics, “I want to be free.”  Do you know what I am talking about?  I am talking about creative freedom and the flow of abundance from pure consciousness.  Pure consciousness allows us to create what we truly desire in this holographic time-space-reality network.

I want to be free!

It is the goal and greatest desire of the Soul to live fearlessly—to live with the expectancy of ever-increasing good, freedom, love, abundance, expansion, and growth.   Pure consciousness, which is granted by enlightenment, is the elixir that frees us from the bondages, fetters, and illusions of the ego.  The illusion we live  and struggle through if we allow our Soul to be trapped in the programs and systems of the Matrix.

Pure consciousness is what allows us to live in a continued expansion of happiness, creative freedom, and the flow of abundance.  Creative freedom, the flow of abundance, and happiness is not a program.  Happiness is a state of being.  Creative freedom is an expression of who we really are, infinite creative potential.  The flow of abundance is the movement and rhythm of our true nature which is that of abundance. 

The Visionary’s Insights grows in a state of happiness, creative freedom and expression, and in the flow of abundance.  Pure consciousness makes it all possible.  

To expound on this truth, we must understand that there is no separation between who we really are—the true and authentic self, the Soul—and The Source of ALL-That-Is.  When we receive the Oneness Blessing or the Holy Spirit, we live in pure consciousness and we open our lives to the infinite possibilities of creative freedom and the flow of abundance. 

As we live in pure consciousness, our need for acceptance becomes true self-realization and our light shines.  We develop and expand this light and the light becomes so luminous that we ourselves become lightworkers with a Visionary’s Insight, intuition, foresight, awareness, and power. 

All lightworkers know the power of pure consciousness, the Oneness Blessing, and how it frees you creatively.  The power of pure consciousness frees you from resistance and you find it unnecessary to be attached to anything or anyone.  Now, living without attachments doesn’t mean we are living without love, but instead we are living in unconditional love which is the prime source of pure consciousness.

As unconditional love flows through us, we become this wonderful state of being (pure consciousness) by letting go of the ego and listening to the voice of the Soul.  We become this wonderful state when we realize that the programs and systems of the Matrix are but an illusion and we are not trapped. 

As we become this wonderful state we live in creative freedom and the flow of abundance because we have allowed the Creative Spirit to move us.  With each move, we make a Quantum Leap into true self-awareness, ever-increase good, and continuous spiritual evolution and the light within us to shine brighter and brighter. 

Deliberate Creation in Harmony and Well-Being

Harmony and well-being that is the true desire behind every desire we have.  We just have to become enlightened to what harmony and well-being truly is. 

Deliberate Creation is a faculty of increased consciousness, enlightenment, and your spiritual awakening.  We all desire to succeed in life, but we all have different ideas and perceptions of what success is.  In the Matrix, there are many programs and systems which “tell us” what success is and what it is not.  And these programs and systems devalue our true self-worth.  We get so caught up in the illusion–the belief that these programs and system are reality and real life that we forget who we really are and why we are here.

However, for those of us who have developed a Visionary’s Insight, we know that if we buy into these illusions we are furthering an agenda that in no way aligns with what we truly desire to experience in our lives.  In fact, in all cases, it is counterproductive to what we truly desire to manifest in our lives.

It takes a true spiritual practice to “see beyond” and live beyond the Matrix—the great illusion.  When we practice true spirituality, we have the empowerment and determination for deliberate creation.  It is essential for our success to practice deliberate creation in harmony and well-being. 

I am Awake!

As we commit to harmony and well-being on the path of enlightenment, we will discover that we can live beyond the Matrix and we no longer are victims of  its programs and systems.  Deliberate Creation in harmony and well-being gives us the power to hit the delete key or the escape key to any program or system we don’t like in this holographic time-space-reality network. 

With this empowerment, we can begin again, and create what we truly desire instead of suffering with “experiences” we don’t want.  Our true self-worth is beckoning us to use this empowerment.  Our true self-worth is beckoning us to begin again with the self-awareness and consciousness necessary to create the life we want to live, manifest our dreams, and actualize our vision of purpose in life. 

There are many aspects to success and we have a divine right to experience opulence and success but we must work with the Source of ALL-that-is in us as us in order to experience this opulence, success, and abundance.  This is co-creation and co-creation is deliberate.  We will find that when we take this spiritual approach to creating the lives we want to live, we put ourselves in harmony with nature and we create in joy, peace, love, and happiness.

This is the purpose and intention of the Visionary’s Insight.  The Visionary’s insight is to see beyond the Matrix and align with that which is affluent, abundant, and harmonic.  There is a rhythm to life in which we can master and create a melody that is sweet, beautiful, and inspirational.  When we practice deliberate creation in harmony and well-being, we find that rhythm and we find our dance. 

And when we dance, we are greatness.  Each of us wants to express momentously who we really are and to showcase that expression to the world.  It all happens with deliberate creation in harmony and well-being.  This proactive way of living allows us to manifest optimal health, empowering and fulfilling relationships, creative independence and freedom, financial independence and freedom, emotional and mental stability, peace of mind, happiness, and meaning in lives. 

And as we commit to deliberate creation and develop a Visionary’s Insight, we realize we have become a seer who can manifest our dreams.  We have become a lightworker who shines our own light.  Yes, when we practice deliberate creation in harmony and well-being, there is no limit to our power as co-creators.

Happiness and Real Self Esteem is a Daily Celebration of Your Joyous and Powerful Nature

Did you get up this morning with a true passion and love for the life you are living?  Did you get up this morning with little butterflies in your stomach as you recognized this is the greatest day of your life?  I hope you are answering yes to all the above questions.  If not, I hope I could change your mind and perhaps remind you exactly why you should “be happiness” today. 

Today, I cannot call this an entry or an article for the Blue Lotus Living Community.  In fact, I would think it was something quite different.  Today, I will call this post a love letter for the Blue Lotus Living Community. 

Your joyful journey on the path of enlightenment begins with how you feel about who you really are.  We can talk about personal development, self-improvement or self-help all day long, but true personal development, authentic self-improvement, and real self-help begins with self-love.  Self-love will empower you as a divine being.  Love is the fuel and energy within and about all things in our universe.  Why?  Because it is only through love that we can experience oneness, harmony, peace, well-being…and yes happiness. 

Self-Esteem has been explained 101 ways to Sunday by many self-help and personal development gurus.  However, real self-esteem is when you feel your own “divine-ness” and when you feel good about this “divine-ness.”

Divine-ness, what do we mean when we say divine-ness?  You as a divine being have this omniscience and omnipotence which is flowing through you by way of the Holy Spirit or Oneness Blessing.  The moment you embraced that light that is within you and decided you will be a willing vessel for good, you open a passage way in your life for the Holy Spirit or Oneness Blessing to flow. 

The flow of the Oneness Bless or Holy Spirit is the Creative Spirit and when it flows it brings with it the happiness, peace, well-being, and harmony of the Universe. When it flows continuously, it is abundance. This abundant flow of harmony and well-being reminds us each day that we can do, have, or be whatever we truly desire—and this is real self-esteem. 

Family, real self-esteem is feeling your real nature which is joyous, powerful, and abundant.  We think self-esteem has to do with whether or not we think we are physically attractive, smart, funny, or gorgeous.  That is only a generic form of self-esteem.  Real self-esteem allows you to feel your powerful nature and know that you are beauty, you are luminous, you are love and you are being loved right now. 

Your journey on this path of Enlightenment can be so joyous, spontaneous, adventurous, and beautiful if you celebrate your true self in such as beauty, joy, and luminosity..  Celebrate your self as if you were the most delightful, beautiful, luminous, attractive, happiest, peaceful, and intelligent person who ever lived.  With that celebration will spring up an unconditional love for self and this love will bring with it real self-esteem. 

We think we can base our real self-esteem on accomplishments or achievements.  These things will bring fleeting moments of joy.  However, if we want to truly experience real self-esteem and discover the joy and wonder of “being happiness”, then we have to celebrate who we really are each day as if we have already made high achievements and great accomplishments in life. 

When you and I make this decision—the decision that we will celebrate who we really are each and everyday as if we have achieved all the success in the world, then we will attract to our reality the happiness, peace, joy, harmony, and prosperity which flows in our loving and abundant universe. 

This is your journey.  This is your life.  You can make it a celebration or a B-rated 1970’s horror flick.  Let go the trauma which is perpetuated by the ego and allow well-being to flow in your life.  Celebrate the real you and you will increase in real self-esteem. 

Fitness Guru Jack Lalanne Celebrates 95 Years of Life

Jack Lalanne the Fitness Guru turns 95 years of age today.  About a month ago, my grandfather, Allen Brown Sr. of Delhi, Louisiana turned 89.  I sit and pondered today what he and my grandfather had in common which blessed them with long life. 

Let’s explore.  Jack Lalanne eats organic.  My grandfather had his own garden he tended for years and ate organic until recent years.  Jack Lalanne exercises and swims.  My grandfather exercises daily with walks.  Before he retired, he worked outdoors most of his life as a farmer and sharecropper.

Jack Lalanne has maintained and continues to maintain a good marriage to the same woman for many years.  My grandfather had a wonderful marriage to my grandmother for 53 years until she passed some years ago. 

Jack Lalanne loves to sing and so does my Grandfather.  In fact, my grandfather had a singing group with his sons for many years called “The Soul Guiders.”  The group has all new members now, but my grandfather was one of the founding members of the group.

Jack Lalanne seems to have a good attitude about life.  My grandfather has a good attitude about life.  My grandfather believes that you should “aim for the best and you’ll get the best in life.” 

So, what have I learned from Jack Lalanne and my grandfather Allen Brown. 

(1)   Eat health organic foods (for me that would be raw organic fruits and vegetables by following a raw food diet).

(2)   Exercise daily and make it a part of my lifestyle.

(3)   Maintain a positive and productive mental attitude.

(4)   Have a song in your heart.

(5)   Show Devotion to my loved ones.

(6)   Love unconditionally.

We always think it’s the right supplement or the right procedure or the right vitamin but it is the productive, positive, and loving life you choose to lead which promotes long life.  So, here at Blue Lotus Living, we would like to say Happy Birthday to Jack Lalanne.

Nothing Can Bring You Peace but Yourself…Peace and Harmony Begins Within and in This Very Moment

A quote by Ralph Waldo Emerson states that “Nothing can bring you peace but yourself.”  If we are to believe this quote, then we realize that peace and harmony begins within. 

To support this principle, “Peace Be Still” is a beautiful scripture which can stand on its own and describe the harmony and well-being that is always available to us from our loving and abundant Universe.  Peace is literally a place within us where harmony and order flow from the well of our being and thus creates well-being in our reality.

It is all too often that our day to day worries and fears block the flow of this well-being in our lives.  We cannot draw from this well of peace and harmony because we block it with our resistance to life.  We block our resistance to life because we are always trying to get to some “future” event and not allowing ourselves to “be” in the Presence. 

Before rediscovering (because we all once knew) the path of enlightenment which dwells within and the peace it provides, I, personally, remember being unable to enjoy the moment because it always seemed as if some future event would be greater and make me happier than what I was experiencing in the present moment. 

When you grow, develop, and evolve on the path of enlightenment as I did, you discover that this moment, this very moment is the greatest moment ever. No other moment in the past or in the future is greater than this moment. 

When we allow the well-being of the Universe to flow into every moment of our lives with gratitude and appreciation, we tap into the field of infinite possibilities by way of the Law of Mentalism.  With mental well-being, we are able to transmute this energy into wealth, joy, and success.  As we transmute the energy of wealth, joy, and success in our lives it becomes our ability to prosper or our power to increase and create more life.  By way of the law of attraction, those of us who can transmute this energy and maintain our ability to prosper will attract money, riches and good fortune in our lives. 

And yes, it begins with “Peace Be Still.”  This stillness is the acceptance of each moment as it is and this acceptance allows well-being to flow without resistance.  As a result of this continual flow (which is abundance) we experience the increase of optimal health, peace, order, love, devotion, wealth, success, wisdom, and knowledge in our lives. 

“Peace Be Still” is the Comforter, the Holy Spirit, the Oneness Blessing at work orchestrating the details.  Those of us on the path of enlightenment value peace beyond all things because we know that it is peace and harmony in this very moment which makes all good possible. 

Some among us are trying desperately to manifest their desires.  They are striving and struggling and suffering to have the very things they already have.  All things are available to us in the present moment, yes, in the Presence.  To be in the present moment is to be in the presence of God, Source Energy, The ALL in All.  When we are in the Presence we are in the presence of all-power and all-knowingness.  The ability for all things we desire to manifest in our reality is in the Presence and it is peace which allows you to remain in the Presence.  

With this wisdom, we must realize that lusting things as if they will never happen, dreading the moment because we so desperately want to be in our perceived “perfect future”, will not conjure the power to manifest nor shall it empower you with the ability to “will” those things you desire in your reality.

As we always say at Blue Lotus Living, the present is a gift.  You will find your gift in the present moment.  Therefore, show up here and now in the present moment and receive the keys to the kingdom. 

The Law of Attraction and How to Attract That Agape Kind of Love, Oh Yeah

Agape is unconditional, unselfish, and giving love.  We talk about unconditional love a lot here at Blue Lotus Living.  Unconditional love is the fuel which accelerates abundance, prosperity, harmony and well-being in our lives. 

We know, Agape, unconditional love when we experience it.  Our lives build and become more from the energy of love.  Love is the seed of prosperity and it causes good to manifest in our lives.  And the manifestation of good and prosperity is governed by the Law of Attraction.

You see, the energy of love is very powerful, specifically, the Agape kind of love.  The Agape kind of love is love with no strings or love with no cause.  This love with no cause comes from Source Energy because this love, like Source Energy, has no boundaries.  It is the beginning and the end all at once because it is infinite..  This love is ALL-that-is.  The Agape kind of love has no limits.  When you operate in this love, you are operating in the omnipotence of Source Energy, God.

And how do you attract this kind of love into your life?  There is only one way to attract the Agape kind of love…you have to give love without condition.  In other words, in order to attract Agape love, you have to give it. 

When we open our hearts and give unconditional love, we attract that love and all its by-products into our lives.  And those by-products include peace, prosperity, well-being, happiness, wealth, success, harmony, and greatness.  That’s right when we open our hearts to love we become greater.  When we close our hearts to love, we become smaller, lesser, and bitter.  The ego takes control and we lose sense of just how great and divine we really are.

The Agape kind of love flows when there is no restriction on love.  And the very thing that restricts love is fear, complacency, and resentment.  However, the very thing that allows the Agape kind of love to flow is gratitude. 

Gratitude is the healing balm which soothes, treats, and cures all resentment.  Gratitude is the fertilizer which enhances our self-growth in courage and therefore kills fear.  Gratitude is the magnifying glass which helps us see the wonder, beauty, and luminosity of life and thus, diminishes complacency.  In fact, one would say the Agape kind of love and gratitude have a marriage certificate which promises to bring love, goodness, and inspiration to your life.

The truth is, each of us wants to attract, without limit, the best life has to offer.  And if we want to attract the best life has to offer, we have to give the best we have to offer.  The best we can offer the world is unconditional love…Agape. 

And it begins with 3 unwavering decisions:

1. I will be a friend to the Universe.
2. I will show and emit gratitude at all times.
3. I will love myself and others unconditionally. 

Even as some may read these words, they may ask themselves, “Can I do that? Can I be a friend to the Universe by creating more good through me?  Can I emit the energy of gratitude even as I grieve loss or feel anger?  Can I love myself unconditionally even when I make bad decisions?  Can I love others unconditionally even when they hurt me?”

If you dig deep and listen to the voice of your Soul which is your true and authentic self, you will hear a whisper which says….”Yes, I can.” 

Have Gratitude in the Face of Traumatic Change and Life Transitions

 At some point in our lives, we all face trauma and tragic life situations which require that we have to transition from one way of living to another.  It takes courage to make life transitions and to face traumatic change with your whole self intact.  However, an attitude of gratitude will get you there.  Gratitude is an attitude which welcomes the beauty and luminosity of life in spite of traumatic change and life transitions. 

Just last year, a friend of mine in told me about a moment she witnessed first hand which change which she often thinks about when she feels down or hurt, or even agry…

(Based on True Events)

A 57 year old woman had been through some terrible life tragedies and situations which left her distraught and angry.  She didn’t want to grow old and bitter so she decided to join a therapy group which helped with life transitions and how to deal with traumatic change in your life. 

At her first group therapy, she saw women of all ages sitting with frowns on their faces.  Some squirmed in their chairs looking uncomfortable, in fact, to the woman, some of them seemed ashamed for being there.  The woman thought to herself, “These ungrateful women, if they had been through what I’ve been through, then they would really have something to feel uncomfortable about.”

The meeting began and each woman spoke about her traumatic experiences and what life transitions they needed help adjusting to. Some of the stories the woman heard were “mild” in her opinion.  Some of the women were overlooked for promotions, had just had babies and felt unattractive, some had gained weight, and some said their sex lives were on the rocks in their marriages. 

When it was her turn to tell about the traumatic change in her life, the woman knew the other women would be shocked and more grateful for their situations. She took a deep breath almost feeling proud, “My husband left me for a younger woman, he hired the best attorneys money could buy and kicked me out of my home, and is now living in the home I had with him for 25 years with a new wife and a new baby.  I have not heard from my son in over a year and my daughter has moved far away and I rarely hear from her.  Two months after my divorce was final, I lost my job with a company I had been with for almost 20 years.  My severance package was a total of $3,200, most of my retirement money was lost after the Enron fiasco, and now at 57 years old, I have to go back out into the job market.   The one home I did get in the divorce settlement, I will have to sell it, downsize significantly and hope that very soon I can find a new job.” 

She exhaled and took another deep breath; the women around her looked shocked.  “Now,” she thought, “that’s trauma.”  Soon the therapist asked a young lady sitting in the corner quietly if she wanted to speak today and tell the group about your life transition or the tragedy she wanted to overcome. 

The woman looked at her and thought, “What could be her problem? She’s only about 20 at the most.”  She stared at the girl who seemed to be smiling and tilting her head bashfully. 

The girl stood up. “I am 19 years.  Two years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer.  The cancer was treated and I received a clean bill of health.  However, two months ago, I was told the cancer has returned in other areas of my body and that it is spreading rapidly.  I was given 6 months to live.  I am not here to transition to death, but I am here because I want to transition to life. I want to continue to be glad for each day.  And really,  I want to live. As a matter of fact, right now, I choose to live,” She sat down.

The 57-year old woman looked over at the girl.  The girl was younger than her son.  And in that moment, the woman felt a sense of gratitude, then shame, and then gratitude again.  She thought about all the life she had lived since she was 19 and all the life this girl may never experience such as having children, getting married, lighting a candle at her daughter’s wedding, or getting her college degree. 

The woman thought about how easy her own situation was to transform.  She could call her son everyday until he picked up the phone.  She could visit her daughter and grandchildren.  She could find another job eventually.  She could find a small condo in the city.  She could forgive her ex-husband and find love again with someone who would appreciate her.

Her problems had not been diagnosed terminal and she had gone days and days not wanting to live.  Yet, here was a young vibrant beautiful girl who had been diagnosed terminal and she wanted to live. 

In that moment, the woman realized she wanted to live.  She had grandchildren to spoil and places she wanted to see.  She looked around the room and realized that the young girl had spoken everything that each woman had truly wanted in their heart of hearts.  They all wanted to live. 

She understood there wasn’t much life in bitterness.  And what is wonder of living if it is without gratitude for each given moment in spite of traumatic experiences, life transitions, hurt, pain…Like her new 19 year old heroine; she too, had to be glad for every moment.  She too, had chosen to live.

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.

Traumatic Life Experiences of the Artist Can Produce a Powerful Creative Voice or Dysfunction

When our souls look back and wonder at our life experiences we see some great experiences and some traumatic experiences.  As artists these experiences can mold and shape how inspiration flows through us. 

The traumatic life experiences of the artist can produce a powerful creative voice or dysfunction.  This is why mind development and mental transmutation from our true and authentic self is so important.  Mental transmutation through mind development empowers the artist to take his or her traumatic life experiences and channel them in a way that promotes healing and inspiration to create beauty and express luminosity.

Mental transmutation through mind development invokes conscious creativity; in this manner, the artist is able to channel this conscious creativity to produce art that speaks to the heart of mankind instead of art which enables dysfunction and perpetuates the ills associated with lower energy. 

As artists, we have to be careful not to just vent our pain because instead of becoming conduits for the energy of light, peace, love, and inspiration, we become conduits of pain, suffering, and despair.  It is the joyful intention of each person on the path of enlightenment to spread the power of unconditional love, peace, joy, and beauty and not to perpetuate the downtrodden energy of pain, suffering, and despair. 

With this knowledge, it takes a conscious effort to mentally transmute our traumatic life experiences into life-giving energy which inspires others to be an inspiration.  In other words, as an artist, I should not use my pain to bring pain in your life, but I can use my painful experiences to inspire you out of your pain and give hope to that which seems hopeless. 

Often times, we think that the display of dysfunction in art (whatever art form it may be) is realism.  Much to the contrary, those of us on the path of enlightenment know there is only one Absolute Reality and that Absolute Reality is unconditional love, luminosity, peace, order, harmony, and well-being.  With this wisdom, those of us on the path of enlightenment know that we can create our reality by channeling the power of the Absolute Reality through us; thus, creating love, luminosity, peace, happiness, joy, harmony, and well-being in our reality.

This time-space network of reality on the third dimension has patterns it cycles through which effect appearances and changes, but we can still channel the greater good from the Absolute reality and create the best life has to offer in our lives even on this plane existence.  It is the artists who are demonstrators of this power to channel beauty, love, harmony, and well-being.  As demonstrators of these infinite possibilities to experience the best life has to offer, we should be instruments of hope and vehicles of inspiration.

To become these vehicles of inspiration and instruments of hope, we must renew our minds and transmute the energy of traumatic life experiences for the intent and purpose to inspire and motivate others to live their best life and express their infinite potential. 

Your powerful creative voice is hidden behind your traumatic life experiences.  You are the hope you are searching for.  Allowing yourself to realize your own strength and your infinite potential will empower you to let that powerful creative voice speak and let it be heard without shame, resistance, or reserve. 

Your powerful creative voice is the gift you can draw from your traumatic life experiences.  When you allow this voice to speak, you will realize your strength and power as conscious creative artist and know without doubt you are not broken.

The Spiritual Shift and Interconnectivity to Live Life as Your True and Authentic Self

What happens when you have achieved all the things which you believed would make you happy and give your life the meaning you’ve longed for?  What happens when you have tried everything to achieve the things you believe you desire, but so few things have manifested?  There is no difference as to what happens in either life situation.  The person who has achieved everything he or she thought would make them happy feels the same way as the person who has not manifested or actualized the things they believe they desire.  Both feel there is something missing. 

In both life situations, these individuals can feel as if they are going through the motions of life.  Each could feel inadequate, ill-equipped, unlovable, powerless, and alone.  In order to cope and numb the pain of emptiness and disconnect with the beauty and luminosity of life, such individuals turn to what we call “soothers.” 

Many soothers include, toxic relationships, drugs, alcohol, sex, food, and yes, television.  These soothers are agents used to soothe the pain for a while and eventually become addictions.  The soothers are what uses to mask the pain and agony one feels when the interconnectivity to life as your true and authentic self has not been recharged.  We say “recharged” because there is no disconnection with the true and authentic self but rather a recharged of purposed energy needs to be channeled from Source Energy/God and directed through our intentions.

This recharge requires that we make a spiritual shift.  And just how can anyone make that spiritual shift from pain and agony to joy, peace, and purpose?

We can make that change by re-establishing and replenishing our energy through intrapersonal communication with the true and authentic self.  Intrapersonal communication with the true and authentic self is about inner healing methods which strengthens the Higher Self or the True and Authentic self.  The strength is based upon the Ancient Egyptian commandment: “Man, know thyself.”

It seems like such an “a-matter-of-factly” statement—“man, know thyself, but it is crucial to our spiritual and personal development in this 3^rd dimension known as the plane of appearances and changes.  Without the interconnectivity to our true and authentic self and a true knowledge of who we are and why we are here, we can literally lose our soul on this plan of existence. We can trap ourselves in patterns of self-destruction or trap our lives in cycles of reincarnation to this very plane. 

However, the freedom we crave happens when we interconnect with our true and authentic self.  This freedom happens because we are no longer weighed down by the fetters of the ego.  When we are free from the entanglements and illusion of the ego, our consciousness is elevated.  Those of us who choose the path of enlightenment, when we are free, we are free indeed. 

It is the longing for freedom that we feel when we feel “something is missing” and freedom comes with our acceptance to live life as your true and authentic self.  The intrapersonal communication we experience helps us to grow in our knowing of our true and authentic self. 

Intrapersonal communication is communication with our true self or higher self and it is a process of building the following characteristics of our relationship with our higher self:

1. Trust
2. Reliance
3. Disclosure
4. Quality-Time (breath and depth)
5. Devotion

It is so important to take the time to build an inner-bonding relationship with your Higher Self as you would any relationship in your life.  It is then you become free and experience the peace, joy, and happiness you may have been searching for outside of yourself. 

Will You Manifest Good Health and Well-Being or Continue With Swine Flu Imaginations

We cannot emphasize enough the importance of thinking health, wellness, well-being, and prosperity.  Do we get up each day and proclaim our health and wellness or do we listen and believe that we will be victims of swine flu or whatever the latest “epidemic” may be?  Here’s a hint…Choose to imagine yourself in health, wellness, well-being, and prosperity. 

Are we saying don’t take necessary precautions?  Of course not, do what you can do to protect you and all those around you.  However, do one even better for yourself and those around you, think health and wellness.  Believe and know that you are in good health and that all good is manifesting through you right now. 

When you choose to co-create your reality with our loving an abundant Universe and with an omnipotent Creator and ALL in ALL, then you know with great conviction that you can live in health and wellness if you believe it.

I remember Roslyn telling me some time ago before she began her journey on the path of enlightenment, “I use to think that if you didn’t worry about something, you didn’t care about it.”  Many of us can understand her old thinking because we may have thought the same thing.

After growth and development on the path of enlightenment and increasing her consciousness, Roslyn came to know that worrying and caring are not the same thing and do not emit the same vibration.  Worry is focusing on fear and having greater belief in the thing you fear than the thing you truly desire.

So again, don’t get wrapped up in the doom and gloom and bad reports about swine flu, proclaim and declare your health, wellness, well-being, and prosperity and you will emit the vibration of harmony, peace, and abundance in mind, body, and spirit.

Until next time, believe in your health and well-being, and remember to live well, live wise, live wealthy, and let the Creative Spirit move you
