In Stillness, You Can Manifest Your Dreams and Desires Spontaneously

Be Still. I AM God!

A dream is but a desire you have had in your heart for a period of time.  We all have desires and dreams.  Our dreams and desires can manifest spontaneously when we restore our mind power and listen to the voice of our Soul as it guides us with inspired action. 

Of course, this requires that we “Be Still and Know that I AM God.”  Do we know that I AM power which is God or have we become so addicted to turbulence, noise, and drama that we fear the very idea of stillness?  The great Yogis and Sages teach us that if you are going to chase one thing, then chase everything.  And family, we are here to tell you that you will run out of gas for sure.

And at some point in this holographic time-space-reality network we all get tired as our Souls beckon for peace.  Our soul beckons for  peace because the Soul knows that when we are still, we enter the field of pure consciousness and in this field all things are possible when we knowingly believe.  The Oracle Within guides us and our dreams manifest spontaneously.

 When we create from the field of pure consciousness, there is no need to chase a dream to manifest a dream.  There is no need to chase a desire to actualize it in your life.  You are infinite creative potential ready to be activated when you learn to “Be Still and Know that I AM God.” 

And who or what is this I AM.  As you unplug from the Matrix and its exhausting programs and systems, you develop a Visionary’s Insight which allows you to see that I AM God.  I AM is all that it is and I AM is all around you.  I AM is in you as you and as us.

I AM is the one.  I AM is oneness.  So be still and know I AM.

It is the fear of those who have benefited most from the Matrix and its programs and systems that you will learn stillness and silence.  And this collective unconsciousness breeds and feeds on our exhaustion as we chase and chase and chase.  Your Soul cannot function in this exhaustion and because of the turbulence and noise and dysfunction we can’t hear the voice of the Soul. 

It is the fear of the ego which only knows how to operate in the Matrix and its systems that you become still and silent.  So, the ego creates drama for you to act out and stress for you to live in. The ego fears the light and it fears being light.  It limits expectations and possibilities for greatness.  But your Soul wants to be free.

 And family, when you are free, you are free indeed.  When you are free, you can hear the voice of your Soul guiding you to greatness.  You are no longer weighed down by the fetters of the ego.  You are free to reveal the light and luminosity of your Soul.  You are free to share that light with the world.  Like the Blue Lotus you rise up with the Morning Star and you live your life in full bloom.

Silence, Meditation, and Your Infinite Creative Potential

Meditate to Create!

We create in silence and meditation and we stir the energies for the manifestation process.  It is hard for some people to practice the art of silence and meditation, but silence and meditation is essential for the use of our infinite creative potential. 

In our society, many have become addicted to emotional and mental turbulence.  We feel like we really have a life when things are loud and turbulent.  Unfortunately, silence has become equated with boredom.  And for this very reason, we have more stressed-out people in the world than ever before.

The truth is, we may not be as stressed as we think. In fact, we just may need a little silence.

And silence is what we can get when we unplug from the useless systems and programs of the Matrix.  When we unplug from the programs and systems of the Matrix and its counterproductive effect on our ability to create the life we want to live, we find that we can activate our infinite creative potential and transform it into infinite creative energy.  This is accomplished through the practice of silence and meditation.

Silence and meditation allows us to cleanse the subconscious debris of counterproductive thoughts and thought forms.  Like a mental detoxification, we are then “empty to be refilled.”   We are liberated. 

As we empty our minds, we can reload and restore productive mental imagery which works with pure consciousness in the creation and manifestation process.  Productive mental imagery then activates our infinite creative potential and turns it into creative energy.  When this creative energy is used, it becomes creative power which has the volition to manifest our most focused intentions. 

 Silence and meditation also activates our infinite creative potential for creative energy because the yoke of resistance are broken and energy (creative energy) always follows the path of least resistance. This is why it is important to “purpose” your intentions.  Purpose intentions are not weighed down and held back by resistance.

And how can we undoubtedly know we are resisting.  Stress is the signal.  Stress and turbulence is always the signal of resistance.  Our infinite creative energy cannot flow and become power where there is resistance.  Silence and meditation make us aware of what and where the resistance is and through our Oracle Within, we discover what inspired action to take to unblock the flow.

All to often we are told we need to add something to ourselves in order to become our true and authentic self.  However, those of us who have grown on the path of enlightenment have discovered that it is nothing we need to add to ourselves but what we need unload to make room to reload and restore what we’ve already had. 

Silence and meditation is not only detoxifying but it is replenishing.  What we replenish  and restore is the infinite creative power we require to create the life we desire to live.

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.

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.

The Holistic Creative Entrepreneur Practices Productivity and Creativity for Good Business Sake

Being an Entrepreneur is one of those gifts we all have access to if we develop our skills in areas of productivity and creativity.  As a Holistic Creative Entrepreneur, I have discovered that productivity and creativity are the basic essentials for success in any field of business.

Since we’ve re-established Blue Lotus Living, productivity and creativity have been the focus of everything involved with our business model.  Our business model is that of internet publishing (blogging, social networking, link-exchange, digital products…) and with internet publishing you have to be creative and productive on a daily basis. 

Yes, here in the blogosphere and cyberworld, you have to utilize productivity and creativity daily because things are constantly changing.  Do you know how many times I go to the administration area of our site to find out I need to upgrade a plugin?  But this is what entrepreneurs do; we have to stay on top of things.  We have to know the latest innovation. 

With this in mind, I wanted to share with you today some skills necessary to promote productivity and creativity in your business or career.  And let me make it very clear, productivity and creativity is necessary even if you are “hired” by someone else.   

Some skills necessary to enhance your productivity and creativity for good business sake are:

1.  Innovation

Innovation is not unique to the entrepreneur, but it is most definitely required.  Innovation is spawn from the creativity and the execution of one’s witty ideas.  It is always good to be an innovator instead of an imitator.  Innovation is the ability to use creative energy and channel original ideas which become something unique. 

For instance, as I have become more and more involved in the internet publishing or e-publishing industry, I have learned the necessity of innovation.  We live in an age of the Global Economy and The Age of Information (an overlapping gumbo of an age you can say).  Because information can be transmitted with the touch of a button, we are consuming more information than ever and we are consuming it quickly.  Those who are succeeding online are staying on top of ways to meet the demand for information.  They are staying on top of ways to get information out quickly, efficiently, and accurately.

And if you don’t think you have great ideas, that doesn’t mean you are not meant to be an entrepreneur.  Innovators also know how to capitalize on a great idea.  A few moments ago, I told you about how I always have to update my plugins for this site.  Well, this site is powered by www.wordpress.com, but many different people have developed the plugins I use for this site.  That’s still innovation.  I may not have “invented the internet,” but I sure am finding wonderful and innovative ways to use it to promote and establish a luminous and beautiful community and company called Blue Lotus Living.

2.  Passion

Few people believe it, but we got to keep saying it.  “Do what you love and the money will follow.”  I tell you the truth, you will be amazed at the amount of energy you can muster when you are doing what you love.  And that energy which will take you so much farther than ambition and drive is called Passion. 

It is very difficult to be passionate and enthusiastic about anything you don’t love.  Moreover, it is difficult to be productive and creative if you are not passionate about what you are doing.  Again, ambition can only take you so far. 

Passion puts the intensity in your intentions.  Those among us who understand how the Law of Attraction works also know that your intentions are critical to the manifestation process.  The intensity behind your intentions are fueled by love and passion.  Productivity and creativity follow this passions.

And how can passion be a skill, you might ask?  Passion becomes as skill when we use it as vehemence.  Vehemence has force as in influence.  And in this context of influence we mean the ability to effect something.  For this reason, passion is very important in helping you enhance your skills for creativity and productivity. 

If you are not passionate about what you are doing, you will not have a passionate staff or passionate subordinates and you most certainly will not have passionate consumers or clients. 

For instance, before I left New Orleans, I was told that an associate of mine was stepping down as Executive Director of her Community Based Organization.  She had been providing Substance Abuse Counseling services to HIV/AIDS clients for over 14 years.   After leaving, she opened a small but elegant Night Club in a more up and coming neighborhood in New Orleans.

She was met with a lot of criticism because people felt she had turned her back on the community.  After running into her daughter,  a few months after she opened the club, I asked about her.  Her daughter said that her mom stepped down because she was tired.  She wanted the services to continue but she no longer had the passion for it.

 “Mama wants to be around music and laughter at this point in her life.  She’s 47 and she has been doing community work and activism since she was 19,” her daughter told me. “She has a new passion now.  I wish people would stop dogging her about it.  She’s happy.”

I fully understood and I told her daughter to tell my former associate that I wished her well.  There is nothing productive nor can anyone be creative if they continue to do a thing they are no longer passionate about.  You know longer have influence when you are doing something for which you no longer have the passion to do.

Are there ways to stir up your passion again?  Of course there are.  Some great ways to stir up your passion are:

• Return to your purpose and intentions.  Why did you begin to do the thing you are doing in the first place?  Think about how you would feel if you could no longer do it.  Ask yourself, if you are resisting some sort of necessary change or transformation which has caused you to lose your passion.  Again, this will take you back to purpose.
• Find ways you can make things new and fresh again.  Is there something you haven’t tried?  Is there something you haven’t tried a different way? 
• Associated with others who are interested and passionate about the thing you are doing.  Passion can be contagious. 
• Walk away for a while and see how you feel before making a drastic decision.  We all need a break.

3.  Attention and Focus

Some of us have developed a short attention span for everything but what “entertains” us.  Developing our ability to focus and pay close attention to what is truly important in our lives has now become an arduous task for many.  It has become a task because of the vast number of distractions or “dis-attractions that we have in our lives.  The average home in Western cultures has at least 3 televisions.  Then  you have iPods, cellular phones, 200 Apps on the cell phone, video games, tons of DVDs and CD, computers, and  computer games.  

When was he last time you sat in a room other than the bathroom quietly for 15 minutes with no television, no phone, no computer, or any other gadgets?  Hmm…Can’t remember?

Sometimes in order to get our focus back and to start paying attention to what really matters in life, we need to detoxify from our distractions.  Yes, all these things serve their purpose and have become important in the day to day tasks in our lives, but we still have to put all the stuff away at times in order to keep our footing in life.  Most importantly, we must pay attention to and remain focused on our vision of purpose in life. 

For example, as entrepreneurs we always have to remain focus if we want our business to grow and expand.  You have to pay just as much attention to customer and client relations as you do to the bottom line.  What good is a top-notch marketing plan if your customer relations suck?  What good is customer relations if you have no marketing plan and your business is barely breaking even?

You happen to notice these things when you are focused and paying attention.  When you get focused, you get productive.  When you pay attention, you are in the present moment.  And we all now know that when you are in the present moment, you are in the presence of God or you are in the presence of omniscience and omnipotence.  Your most powerful moment is now.  As you increase your awareness in the present moment, you tap into the field of infinite possibilities.  Here, in this field, there are endless opportunities available to you.  By holding the vibration of acute awareness and ever-increasing good, you will draw to you by way of the Law of Attraction, the best opportunity to get the best result no matter what the current situation may be. 

 Need a marketing plan?  It’s available so get focused.  Need a better way to relate to your customers or clients?  It’s available so get focused.  Need a new business concept?  It’s available so get focused on it.  It’s all available when you become available to it by tapping into the field of infinite intelligence and drawing to you all the resource, opportunities, things, and people you need to conceptualize your desires.

What you don’t pay attention to, you get distracted from or dis-attracted from! What does that mean?  Whatever you don’t pay attention to in life is left in a state of default.  In other words, you have no influence over or no power to flow energy towards a thing you don’t pay attention to.  This means it is left to chance.

For instance, if you don’t pay attention to your children, then you have little influence in advising them on things that could help them succeed in life.  When you don’t have influence in your children’s life, then who knows who they are taking advice from.  Perhaps, your child is listening to someone who may not have your child’s best interest at heart.

The same is true in the subjective/spiritual realm.  Remember, as it states in the Kybalion, “ALL is mind, the universe is mental.”  When you do not pay attention or focus in on something, then it is left to be influenced by other mental powers.  Yes, this includes your business so pay attention.  If you are not focused or paying attention, you may hire the wrong people for a job.  You may execute an advertising campaign that isn’t very fruitful.  You may launch a product that isn’t ready for market. 

When we pay attention, we get full wisdom and knowledge on how to handle things most productively.  We also get creative ideas on how we can do things.  So, again, pay attention.

4.  Imagination and Visualization

Increasing your imagination and visualization skills is crucial for the enhancement of productivity and creativity.  Imagination and visualization can be used as tools in business. 

When you use your imagination and visualize, creativity flows naturally and without resistance.  The flow of creativity then sparks excitement and enthusiasm.  When this fire is lit, you become more productive almost spontaneously.

Some of the most effective ways to increase the flow of your imagination and improve the vividness of your visualizations are:

•  Journaling about what you would like to see happen in your business in the next year, 5 years, 10 years.  Make this a daily activity.  As you journal, you are thinking and seeing at the same time.  What you are writing down, you are imagining.  Be sure to journal in present tense as if the vision you have for your business has already actualized.
• Go on long nature walks.  Just going on a 30 minute nature walk sparks the imagination.  You will find that nature gives you incredible inspiration that will stir your imagination. 
• Meditation as a daily activity.  Meditation has a way of clearing the mind of debris and gives you the energy and mental space to imagine and visualize what you truly desire to happen in your business and in your life.

Now, with these skills you will enhance your productivity and creativity as you thrive in life and business as a Holistic Creative Entrepreneur.  Furthermore, as you grow in other skills, talents, and abilities as an Entrepreneur, you will find that your productivity and creativity will naturally enhance to meet your growth if you continue to develop these skills. 

Yes, Entrepreneurship is a wonderful gift, but as with all gifts, once it is in your hands, it is your job as a co-creator with our loving and abundant universe to make the most of it.  Be momentous.  During your journey on the path of enlightenment you will gain many gifts and talents along the way, but you must be willing to maintain a progressive state of being.  Everything in this universe must grow, multiply, and expand.  Anything that stagnates will either disintegrate or die.  Digression is death.  Expansion and growth is life.

So put the life back into your living and your business or career today.

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.

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.

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. 

Deeply Exploring The Law of Attraction – Change your Vibration, Change Your Thoughts, and Attract Well-being and Harmony

The Law of Attraction can be summed up very easily by saying the conditions of your reality are drawn to you according to your state. That would be easy, but then it leaves the belief floating in our consciousness that somehow we are our thoughts.

Thoughts and thought forms are citizens of the mental plane and while the “All is mind. The Universe is Mental” as it states in the Kybalion, we are still not our thoughts. As eternal and Divine beings, we could not be defined so simply.

To truly understand this, we have to deeply explore the Law of Attraction from a much more metaphysical perspective. Now, in this day and age as we study more about metaphysics, metaphysical science, quantum physics, and ontology, it is not a popular thing to tell folks that you are not your thoughts. Many among us on the path of enlightenment who have bravely said the words “you are not your thoughts” have been met with much criticism.

To this matter, let’s give some clarity. We are not a sum total of our thoughts, but the conditions we manifest through us is a result of our thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions, and attitudes. Even more boldly, one can be sure that you are not your actions.

However, we are Divine Beings. As Divine Beings created in the image and likeness of God, we have the ability to create and manifest things, situations, and conditions. And we create in partnership with our loving and abundant universe as channels, conduits, and conductors of energy. We manifest these things by channeling thoughts, feelings, beliefs, actions, and attitudes and these continual thoughts become thought forms which form and cause the things we have in our life.

In other words, we channel thoughts and thought forms according to our vibration. It is often taught to us in a backwards kind of way. We are erroneously taught that our vibration is the result of our thoughts but our thoughts are the result of our vibration. Our vibration is the result of the energy around us which we have channel through us (intentionally or unintentionally). This energy around us can be seen as our environment. In our environment are images and people. As we go through life, if we are not centered in our own intentions, then we are influenced by the energy emanated from people around us, things and images we see, and words and expressions we hear. This influence (which influence means internal flow) becomes our state of being.

For those in fields such as substance abuse treatment and other addictions, the first thing they teach their clients is “change your environment.” This often times includes changing your friends, where you live, where you hang out, or even the things you watch on television and listen to on the radio. For example, it is not a good idea for a recovering alcoholic to hang out at the bar every night with the same friends he or she hung out with before they began the recovery process. It is not a good idea for a sex addict to watch pornographic images or have a subscription to penthouse magazine. It is not a good idea for a food addict to go to All-you-can-eat buffets.

Your influences can affect your vibration and cause you to draw by way of the Law of Attraction, thoughts and thought forms from the mental plane which match your vibration. And since energy follows thought, these thoughts become things.

So as one on the path of enlightenment boldly states “you are not your thoughts”, think about this for a moment…Remember all the times you really no longer wanted to think negative or non-productive thoughts. For instance, you have said to yourself, “I don’t want to think about “the lack of money” all the time, I want to stop thinking that way. You ask yourself, “why can’t I think about abundance and prosperity instead of what I don’t have?”

And here’s the honest truth, it is your vibration. Until your transform your vibration, you will continue to draw the thoughts and thought forms which match your vibration. To change your vibration, you must align your physical and mental state with that which you desire to create in your life. The greatest thing we can create in our life is the flow of love, well-being, and harmony.

This is accomplished through meditation, holistic, natural, and conscious eating, as well as what we allow to entire our eye and ear gates. This includes the images we see in our environment and what we listen to and hear. To this effect, if we transform what we allow to affect our state of being, then we can transform the conditions in our life. As we grow on the path of enlightenment, we will discover the truth of the Law of Mentalism and the process of mental transmutation which contends that it is our state which affects our conditions not our conditions which affect our states.

With this wisdom, we will find that if we want to transform our reality and live according to that which allows us to be the happiness we are searching for and be the miracle others are searching for then we have to transform our state of being.

We can do, be, and have all we desire. We can transform our thinking, but we must begin with our state.

Until next time, Live Well, Live Wise, Live Wealthy and let the Creative Spirit move you.
