Stop Complaining and Become Creative Power Soul – ‘lutions Oriented

What do I mean by Creative Power Soul – lutions?   It means to start to use your creative power for more than just complaining.  It is about finding soul – ‘lotions, or solutions from the soul, that will produce joy, peace, and harmony.

Don't Talk About It, Be About It

We all hear it all the time.  Friends, relatives, associates, church members, co-workers, parents, girlfriends, boyfriends, you and I, we have all spoken on what we feel would need to change in a situation that clearly bothers us.   Now whether or not we are individually affected by it, isn’t the point; although it should be.  Why?  Because some people who grumble the loudest, really aren’t that affected by what they may be complaining about.

I know you’re probably saying, O.K. give me specifics. 

Allow me to paint a very true life picture.   Not long ago, Carmellita and I took on the project of renovating three of her mom’s rooms.  Carm’s mom lives in a large, ranch style home, and since her youngest children and grandchildren moved out, the three rooms they were inhabiting for years were left…well let’s just say, they needed some work.  Carmellita decided that she wanted to take on the project.  It was her way of giving back and saying thank you for all the support her mom had given her and still gives her to this day when it comes to running a business. 

Unfortunately, there are people who don’t quite get having a vision and purpose.  Some may try to deter you from your goals because they can’t visibly see what you were doing at the time or why you were doing it in the first place; until the business begins to make money (but that’s for another writing).

I’m absolutely crazy about Dot (her mom) and I too appreciate her for being the kind soul and gentle lightworker that she is; so I decided to jump on board and help.  While we were working on a plan, there were quite a few people who thought we were crazy.  They didn’t see the point. 

We just kept on working and had a lot of fun picking out paint and new wall decorations and furniture.  It was magical to see the look of  joy on Dot’s face as we were helping to manifest her vision for the other part of her home.  I tell you Carm and I were just like designers on HGTV.  It took us 4 months to complete the project, but after the reveal everyone in the family was astounded and pleased. 

Dot had a man-cave for her husband, a home office, and a guest room for visitors.

In the middle of all this joy, there was a relative that appeared out of the shadows and disagreed with the entire look.  He didn’t really think it made sense to “purpose” each room.  He thought that each room should be guest bedrooms.  I can safely say that this person had his own ulterior motives.  So of course they didn’t get the vision.  You see, if there were a lot of guest bedrooms, then more family members and friends could move in, for an extended stay.  But once again that is for a later writing. 

This relative was one of the main people who were complaining about the rooms and that something should be done.  For months, the complaint was his daily mantra.  His creative power was being mis-used on complaining rather than providing soul – ‘lutions to the problem.  Mind you he didn’t lend a hand to help with the renovation, but was the biggest complainer.

Eventually he stopped complaining.  The pure light energy and focus we all shared for the new part of the house, finally diffused his complaints.

Friends, I know that each of you have come across people who complain constantly about a situation, but if you ask them for solutions (being pro-active), they are short on action, until someone else takes the lead and then it becomes a problem.

If you ever find yourself in a situation that’s bothering you enough where you are projecting your mental focus and energies on the situation, begin to ask yourself, “Am I being soul – ‘lutions (solutions) oriented?  How Am I helping this situation?  If this is bothering me so, what can I do to create positive and productive change?”

Or as a famous rapper once said, “Don’t talk about it, be about it.”

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

Your Creative Power Allows You to Attract Empowering and Fulfilling Relationships

Create More Love!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Motivation and Inspiration to Live on Purpose

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Be Extraordinary and Express the God in You

As children, unfortunately, we are taught to be like everyone else.  Walk in line, wear uniforms to school, sit in a single file row of desk at school, and follow the routine exactly.  Often times, it seems we were trained to be ordinary.  But as always, are we suppose to be ordinary?  Are we suppose to just spit out what is put in us in the same manner in which it was consumed?

I tell you friends of Blue Lotus Living, sometimes, ordinary just will not cut it.  There is a desire in all of us to be momentous, great, an inspiration to others.  The very idea of being something more than just your job title, your role as a parent, husband, wife, or friend is a desire that grows in us all as we mature and develop on the path of enlightenment.  This desire grows and yearns and we cannot deny it.  The more and more we deny it, the more we feel a disconnect with our true and authentic self.

We desire to be something more than ordinary and in fact some say it is our desire to be extraordinary—an accomplished person who knows how to manifest his or her dreams.  Such an extraordinary person that he or she thinks so far outside of the box, he or she cannot be contained. 

And as we study self-improvement, personal development, or even self-help, are we developing our extraordinary nature or are we doing the same thing we were taught in school—maintaining the status quo?  To make it quite simple, are we developing our unique expression of creativity as it flows through us?

So when we say self-help or self-improvement or personal development, we truly don’t give justice to what it is we are trying to accomplish when we study this field.  We are not just trying to help ourselves, we are not just trying to get money, and we are not just trying to find our soul mate.  We are not just trying to improve ourselves.  What we are attempting each time we try a self-improvement program or philosophy is to become extraordinary. 

Now those among us who are modest in personality will probably swear this isn’t true.  Then let me ask you a question:  Are you truly satisfied with the status quo?  Do you want to keep manifesting what you are manifesting now? 

So, when you say you want the ordinary and you want to be ordinary, you have just taking residence and citizenship in the state of denial.  First and foremost, as spiritual beings, we are divine and creative.  Each of us is a unique expression and manifestation of the Most High Creator—the All in All.  And because we are this expression, it is natural for us to want to express this uniqueness through ourselves. 

When we open ourselves to this uniqueness, we plug back into life, not the mundane and surely not the monotonous routine which is no life at all.  Our unique expression of creativity restores the wonder and adventure back to life because it is the soul being expressed as it reveals itself to the world.  And when your soul is being expressed to the world, the God in you is being expressed.

With this in mind, celebrate your uniqueness and reach for the extraordinary in you and express your soul to the world.  Because when you show and express your extraordinariness, you are letting others see, feel, realize, and be inspired by the God in you.

Your Soul Reveals Your Life Purpose in Moments of Silence and Meditation

“I can’t meditate.” I used to say this and I have heard many others say it as well. However, what we fail to realize is that we meditate all the time, but often in the wrong state.

Meditate in the Right State
We meditate every time we watch television and suddenly slip into a trance and can’t remember what we were watching or what we were thinking about at the time. The unfortunate part of slipping in the gap while watching television is that we are being programmed by advertisers who want to convince you to buy their latest product.

The same method can be achieved when we use systems like the Silva Method which helps you slip into the gap (a state of pure consciousness) and hear more clearly from the voice of your Soul. In this state, the state of pure consciousness, you will find yourself able to tap in to the omniscience, omnipotence, and omnipresence which dwells within you—the place some of us call the Presence or the Presences of God.

Now many among us may say that they don’t know how to meditate and this is not true. We do know how to meditate, but we have difficulty because the ego is unwilling to let go and let God. To let go and let God, the ego cannot be in the driver’s seat. As long as we are in an ego dominated state, we are unable to slip into that gap of silence between thoughts.

It is in these moments of silence that our souls speak to us and reveal inspired actions or right actions we can take in order to realize and manifest our Life’s Purpose. In these moments, we are able to see the vision of who we really are and feel the power of our true and authentic self.

Meditation and Slience On Purpose

We can be on purpose when we allow ourselves to meditate. Silencing and cleansing the mind of daily debris leaves room for us to use our mental energies for co-creating with our loving and abundant universe.

So many people feel the strong desire to live in purpose, but to get to the power of revealing and living our life purpose, we must embrace meditation and silence on purpose. We must be deliberate about meditation. In other words, we must be sure to take time throughout the day to meditate and communicate with our soul in silence.

I remember one Esoteric Teacher of mine saying very clearly to a group of us, “Be quiet, and listen to what your Soul is saying right now. Students, the spirit is always willing.” Of course, it took some growth and development on the path of enlightenment to understand what she meant. I truly understood what she meant some years later when I came across and Ancient Egyptian Proverb which stated:

“Exuberance is a good stimulus towards action, but the inner light grows in silence and concentration”

This maxim from the Temple of Luxor teaches us that our exuberance which builds with the development of our mind powers is good, but if we want to experience growth on the path of enlightenment, this growth happens as we practice silence and meditation. Furthermore, we know that as we grow on the path of enlightenment we are able to fulfill our Life Purpose. My teacher was showing us this and emphasizing this when she said “Be quiet.”  She understood that the spirit is always willing in other words, something is always manifesting through us–shouldn’t it be something we truly desire?

No matter how we may feel some days, it is true we really do have a purpose for being here. Yes, our Soul Purpose is growth and expansion, but for this life that we are living now, there is also a purpose. There is a purpose for every bit of energy you have in your body right now. There is a purpose for every bit of creative energy ready to flow through you from your spirit. There is a purpose for all the mental energy you have right now in your mind which is ready to manifest in your reality as some “thing.”

However, it is in silence and meditation that we slip into the gap of pure consciousness and tap into this energy which lies in the field of infinite possibility. The greatest gift we can offer ourselves throughout the day is moments of silence and meditation on purpose. For it is during these moments that the well-being and loving-kindness of the universe flows to us and through us.

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

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.” 

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.

Flashbacks on Bulldozing My Way to Success – I Wasn’t Always on the Path of Enlightenment

You know, I wasn’t always on the path of enlightenment.  As a teacher, conscious creative artist, intuitive, and visionary, I know it is important to share insight into my success and failures.  It doesn’t make us any less enlightened to admit that we have had failures in the past. 

Now, on the path of enlightenment, we don’t have failures—we only have opportunities to take inspired action and either we take that inspired action or we don’t.  Before embarking on the path of enlightenment, we didn’t have the Law of Grace on our side to sustain us and direct us through negativity, non-productivity, anger, confusion, fear, and complacency.  In other words, because we are no longer focused on the Ego-trip and now focusing on awareness, the true and authentic self, creativity, and unconditional love, we have the power of Grace working for us. 

With this in mind, let me get back to my flashbacks of faltering.  I remember how competitive I used to get when I wanted something.  Specifically when it had to do with status or anything I felt I had a “right to.”  No, it was not a winner’s continuity I had, that would be deemed a positive thing.  Instead, it was more like a bulldozer or pitbull’s continuity. 

During those unenlightened days, I would literally “run your ass over,” if you stood between me and something I wanted.  And to be honest, I would do it with a smile.  It was not a good way to live and ultimately whatever “I got”, I was bored with shortly thereafter.

As I have now grown on the path of enlightenment and my soul looks back and wonder, I understand why I got so easily bored.  The things that I was so competitive about were not my true desires, but instead, they were temporary soothers for my burning desire. 

Yes, can I tell you that a true desire unrealized will become a burning desire that cannot be quenched by temporary soothers?  My burning desire to be creative and help others discover their creativity, brilliance, beauty, and true self was a desire that could not be quenched by excelling in the corporate world or excelling in the non-profit corporate world—neither appealed to my soul. 

When I let go of the ego and turned my focus to my inner-being, the greatness that I was searching for outside of myself…well, I found it within my true and authentic self. Now with the Law of Grace working with me as I co-create my reality that fear, confusion, and anger that was driving me to bulldoze my way to success has changed. 

Today, I am a person who knows how to love my way to success.  Today I am a person who knows how to create my way to success.  Yes, I guess you can say, “I’m a lover, not a fighter.”

The Metaphysics of Love – Your Love Vibration

Love Vibration

 Love is Metaphysical.  It reaches beyond our physical reality.  Yes, love is a soul experience and when it is unconditional, its powers are far reaching.

  Love is Metaphysical because it has flow and frequency.  One could say there is a Metaphysics to love.  And that would be to let it flow and as it flow, it heals, restores, and rejuvenates.

Love itself is a universal and spiritual law.  Love is the continual energy that flows throughout all life.  The ALL is the source of love.  The ALL is Supreme Love.

Many of us do not allow the vibration of love to increase the quality of our life for fear that it will compromise our intentions, desires, purpose, and ambitions.  However, love is what makes our purpose possible.  Love has the power to heal, motivate, inspire, and empower us.  When we lack the motivation to live our soul purpose we must ask ourselves:  “How is my love life? How is love flowing in and out of my life?  What am I doing to increase the vibration of the energy of love?” 

Love is not scarce nor is it limited.  There is more than enough love contrary to how things appear.  The travesty is there is so much love energy that goes unused by us until we have societal problems such as strong addictions, broken and dysfunctional families, wars, hate crimes, murder, and suicide. 

But who will be those brave souls that allow love to flow?  Let love flow in our lives.  Let love flow even when we feel pain, disappointment, and frustration–for all these things are embryos of fear.  When this fear is fully grown, it becomes hatred, bitterness, jealousy, and despair. 

The life that many of us lead is void of love.  We feel disconnected with our families, friends, and lovers.  We continue with the everyday mundane tasks and there is no connection with the people in our lives.  The other extreme is those of us who feel we have to fight for love.  We have to stand-out more than the next person  in order to win love.  We have to be the most attractive.  We have to be the most successful.  We have to be the most intelligent, yet still we feel inadequate.

Each day we live with the fear that love will be taken from us.  The nagging voice in the back of our minds says, “They are going to figure you out and when they do it will be over.  They will all turn their backs on you.  You are a fraud.” 

Many people have deprived themselves of love energy flowing in their lives.  This void taps out and exhausts their creativity, motivation, and makes a many talented and gifted people appear incompetent. 

A number of us need to re-charge and raise our love vibration.  Love is the most powerful energy in the Universe.   When our love vibration increases, every positive thing in our lives increase–our wealth, health, wisdom.  We lead lives of abundance and prosperity because the seed of all goodness in the Universe is Love. 

The simplicity of love amazes us even though it is immensely potent.  Just for a moment, sit and imagine a person you love and hold dear to your heart.  Imagine their words as they speak.  Think about all their acts of kindness.  How do they know all the right words to say?  How could their very presence make your heart beat a little faster and trigger your spirit to want more from life?   

Love does not clog the mind; in fact, it releases the creativity, wisdom, and answers that may be trapped therein.  Too often we view love as a distraction–a detour off the course of our life’s purpose when it is the very essence of what calls us to purpose.  It cures the lacerations of disappointment.  It soothes the thrashes of weariness.  Love is our one true source of power.  Without it, we are parsons of our own destruction and prophets of our own demise. And this leads to self-destructive behaviors which limit and stagnates our personal development and spiritual evolution.

Our only hope is that we have the courage to allow love to flow through us, consequently, increasing our love vibration.  This courage will lead us to the freedom and wholeness only love can provide.  As we connect with ourselves and others around us we will find inner peace and self-fulfillment.  And this inner peace and self-fulfillment will lead to our spiritual evolution and personal development.

Bernie Madoff Made off With a Lot of People’s Life Earning But this Doesn’t Mean Wealth and Riches Will Make You Evil

Long title here, I know, but I had to find a way to get my point across on the matter. Many people are afraid of wealth and riches because they think it will make them evil. Such may be the case with criminal minds such as Bernie Madoff who made off with a lot of people’s life earnings, retirement funds, and charity funds; however, this doesn’t mean that it will be your fate too.

Here’s something really simple about wealth and riches…if you behave like a dirty rotten criminal-minded scoundrel then money, wealth, and riches will only allow you to continue your efforts until you are exposed or until you choose become enlightened. The same is true if you are a giving loving enlightened soul. If you are a giving loving soul on the path of enlightenment then money, wealth, and riches will open up infinite avenues for you to continue your efforts.

With this understanding, one must realized that Bernie Madoff didn’t just wake up one day and decided to rob people. His greed and propensity for ill-will had to already be a part of his mentality long before he stole his first dollar.

Roslyn and I have taught for years now the importance of creating your life from the inside out. This requires that you go to that Principle of Power within you and take your eyes off other people’s mishaps and failures. Stop trying to figure out who is good or bad and if they deserve the wealth they have. Trust us, if they have a propensity towards ill-will, such individuals will be exposed in time. If they have a propensity towards goodwill they will continue to prosper and experience well-being.

Concentrate and focus your energies on co-creating your reality. You have the Principle of Power working in you to co-create your reality with a loving and abundant universe. If you choose this principle as your lifeline to creating more life, then you will never have to worry about wealth and riches corrupting your soul.

Wealth and riches are resources to help you expand your vision of purpose in life. Develop your ability to see your vision of purpose in life and wealth and riches won’t corrupt you. Develop a strong desire to see this vision actualize in your reality now and wealth and riches will be drawn to you. Where there is vision, the universe makes provision.
