In The Name Of Giving

Let’s put to rest the argument concerning giving, especially with regards to giving money.

Many ponder and even go as far as to criticize themselves for not giving money (or rather not giving enough). This argument is an extremely heated one and a cause of stress to those lightworkers who wish to do the right thing. 

Some may ask…

Is there a middle ground?

Can one not give money, if one doesn’t have any?

How much is enough?

What is a tithe and am I really responsible for paying it?

Yikes…The truth is:

The reason why the subject of giving money stirs so much negative emotion in so many is the realization that many individuals simply do not wish to give money; while others don’t want to feel obligated in having to give money.

Now, this is not the case for a great deal of people, but for many it is a struggle. This is very much a struggle for those souls who want to do the right thing but may suffer subconsciously from money issues stemming from the illusion of not having enough or fear of someone “taking” something from them.

Unfortunately, when people hoard, or feel lack in one area of their lives, more than likely that sense of hoarding permeates all aspects of their lives.

Soon those who hoard discover that they carefully monitor minuscule items such as… toothpaste.  They “cut back” on household and personal needs, and they usually give grief to one of their loved ones because they won’t make the same “cutbacks.”

This rather miserly type of thinking comes from the illusion of lack and a fear of not having enough. Whenever one believes that they don’t have enough then they end up hoarding or trying to make something stretch, holding on to things that have seen their better days, and wanting everyone around them to do the same. These same individuals usually believe that money will last forever if they don’t spend it. However they continuously find themselves in situations where money is always slipping away from them.

Living with the illusion of lack actually causes one to lose or “run out” of what they are trying so desperately to hold on to.   

Friends there is never a need to feel in a state of lack or “not enough.”  Remember the Universal Law Of Giving states, “what you give out, you receive back in greater measure.

Aspiring to become a giver means never running out, never lacking, and never being in a state of desperation. Giving is the direct opposite of hording (holding on, hiding, and putting away). Giving allows you to be in the direct flow of the abundance of the Universe.

This flow of good returns to you in the form of abundance.  Just as the farmer plants his seeds in the soil, the goodness of the ground always responds, yielding an abundant harvest.

When one hoards, they are sending a message to the Universe saying, “I don’t trust you to supply my needs. This is not enough.”   Unfortunately, lack and fear also yield a despairing return.

There are several ways to activate the mighty Law of Giving to operate fully and abundantly in your life. Through the Law of Abundance, which states that it is every individual’s Divine Right to live abundantly, one can begin to live a balanced life of wealth, health, and optimal living.

So start today. Look for opportunities to give. Give whatever is needed; whether it is a sincere ear for listening to the troubles of a good friend to giving a large tip to the guy who bagged your groceries at your local market. Give and it shall be given back to you.

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

The Power Money Cannot Buy But True Self-Awareness Produces

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

But Now I See!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And it begins with 3 unwavering decisions:

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

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

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

Polling President Obama

First off, allow me to state that I Am not writing this with any intent of assessing the performance of the President of the United States.  We are all allowed the freedom of choice and opinions in this great country of the United States.  I have learned in my walk that we cannot judge or fully assess a person or situation by the way it seems or by the way it is interpreted or told to us.  But many wisdom teachings believe, as do I, that You will know a Tree by the Fruit it bears.

And even with that, it takes a good amount of enlightenment and being able to see beyond illusion to know and understand what is really going on.

An article streaming on the internet today, reported the results of a recent poll, which says that the President’s approval rating is down 50%. 

After reading that article, I must say that I was more confused by the hodge-podge and mismatch of numbers it reported.  I understood the numbers, but I didn’t get the point.  Allow me to elaborate. 

The President’s approval rating is based on the way people feel at the moment they were asked. 

Have you ever been in a bad mood or just given a piece of information that may or may not have been true (i.e. gossip)?  If someone were to ask you how you regarded that individual, immediately after you were told, then depending on the information you were given, you would respond based on the information…whether it were true or not. 

Whether or not you have had personal experiences with that individual.  Whether or not your life was bizarrely affected by that individual.

Since the inception of the President’s term, he has been closely watched under the very zooming lens of the public’s microscope.  There are certain interest groups who have made sure that propaganda is publicized on every channel and every station, which may sway the individual watching.

In other words, every move the President makes is tightly watched…more than any other “new” President in history.  Every comment and every action is up for interpretation.  And there are people who have a very open and public mouthpiece.

Television and radio has a hypnotic effect on our consciousness.  Advertisers are more than aware of this and fill their ads with sometimes useless banter in order to convince a population of people to buy.  Hearing something over and over again, become analogous to a mantra, to an affirmation.  These words and phrases seep into the subconscious and, if not checked, eventually become a part of our belief system.

Hence, the 2005 film, The Manchurian Candidate.    The theme dealt with brainwashing.  There was a special military unit deployed to the Middle East.  As the film unfolds, we see that this group was kidnapped and convinced that a sequence of events happened that actually did not.

You must ask yourself,

1. When were these polls taken?  At what point were these polls taken?
2. Were they taken after a flurry of information was released?  What type of information was the nation bombarded with at the time of the asking? 
3. Who are the individuals that were asked? (Personally, no one has ever asked me to participate in any type of mainstream poll).
4. Are they men, women; republican, democrat, independent; Asian, African, European; Wealthy, Middle, or Poor; Citizens of the United States; Citizens of other countries?
5. Did these individuals vote?
6. Who has the most to gain in spreading negativity and belligerence?
7. Are the respondents of a poll, individuals who believe in true economic growth or are they stingy?

Yes, I said stingy.  Stingy, tight-fisted, penny pinching, wouldn’t give a dime out of a dollar, if their life depended on it.  Just stingy.

Blue Lotus Living Family, those on the path of enlightenment have come to realize the importance of truth.  Enlightened beings understand that the universe is based on many spiritual, universal, and cosmic laws.  Carmellita’s beloved grandmother once said, “that you can’t receive anything with a closed fist.”

And that closed fist is symbolic to our attitudes and opinions on wealth, prosperity, and character.  Remember, there is another survey and poll that is well known to the metaphysical community.  That poll states that 2% of the population, own 98% of the world’s wealth.

Many Holistic teachers and leaders are illumined with the knowledge that change must occur. 

And change shall occur.  It is Divine Law that we evolve and increase.  The Universe does not rest.  We evolve.  We change.  We increase.  Any structure, being, or entity, which attempts to block change will just wither away. 

There is a wonderful biblical parable in which Jesus cursed a fig tree.  Why?  Because the tree was not bearing any fruit.  It was unproductive.  It had no purpose.  And it was of no use to anyone.  Therefore, it had to go. 

We are to look to no one particular man or woman to bring about that change.  Family, We are that change.  Each one of us.  We are as a collective whole, the ones who will bring about that change.  The Law of Rhythm states that nothing can, or is allowed to stand still.

Once again, I’m not fully assessing the performance of the President.  It has been under 1 year and time will reveal itself.  Time will.  Not a poll.  Not a special interest group.  Not a particular news channel or radio program.  Only time.  Only the fruit of the tree will tell what that tree is.

Allow me to leave you with words of wisdom from a beloved soul.  In the words of Gandi,

“First they ignore you, then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.”

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

Self Starting by Seeing More

Madame C.J. Walker, one of the greatest entrepreneurs who ever lived was quoted as saying, “I got my start by giving myself a start.”

Successful entrepreneurs know that seeing more; the big-picture, the end result, the vision, starts with seeing more within themselves. There is great value for the entrepreneur who knows their strengths and weaknesses; because the entrepreneur who has discovered themselves has truly discovered the keys to unlocking the hidden treasures of their lives.

All people have something of value; something that can be shared. The universe has not rendered anyone impotent of creativity. It all begins with articulating one’s own abilities and discovering what additional skills are needed to acquire in order to bring the “big idea” to pass. For the entrepreneur, it begins with seeing value within themselves. Once entrepreneurs begin to truly see, to truly believe, then it becomes easier for an entrepreneur to see those “ideas” around themselves.

There is not one successful entrepreneur or visionary on the face of this planet who has not opened themselves to the treasure of discovering their own value and self worth. Self worth gives the entrepreneur the courage to take risks. All entrepreneurs are bold risk takers. It takes an incredible amount of courage for the entrepreneur to be immovable, while standing their ground and seeing more than what’s right in front of them. After all, the entrepreneurial spirit is the epitome of the human spirit. Strength. Courage. Wisdom. Some of history’s greatest inventors and entrepreneurs have mastered the ability to see beyond their own time in order to create a future that humanity can be proud of.

No matter what one may have seen displayed as personality flaws by various entrepreneurs, an entrepreneur’s goal is to increase wealth; their own, their country’s, and the people. By increasing the wealth of the nation, the country discovers untapped resources which increase the wealth, knowledge, and wisdom of the people. The people, then benefit from a wealth of knowledge and gained inspiration to become more and to discover more.

By the entrepreneur increasing their own wealth they have freed themselves from the bondage and exploitation of those who would seek to exploit their gifts. If an entrepreneur refuses to recognize and use their own gifts for their own good, more than likely someone else will find a way to exploit and take advantage of those gifts and talents, for their own good. For the entrepreneur choosing this path, they will eventually find themselves increasing the wealth of those who exploit them, while decreasing their own self-value, self-worth, and self-esteem.

That is the basis as to why entrepreneurs choose to be entrepreneurs. It is a gift and honor for them to increase the wealth of their country and the wealth of their people, while increasing their own knowledge, wisdom, and wealth. By seeing more within themselves the entrepreneur will begin to see more of what is around them. And by seeing more of what is around them, leads to the appreciation of inspiration.

Debunk the Economic Downturn & Choose to Live & Love To Live Holistically: Part 1 – The Sacrifice

The other day, I was browsing the pages of a popular magazine. I found myself enjoying their sections on money management. Their intention was to educate their readers on taking short-cuts in order to help them stay on budget. There was an enormous amount of information on which sites offered the best downloadable grocery coupons to information on selling school uniforms at consignment stores. This iconic magazine was even gracious enough to offer tips on successful consumer negotiation; offering advice for individuals struggling with their monthly mortgage, credit cards, and car insurance notes.

I found all of these resources quite useful; but I was somewhat perplexed as to why these resources weren’t publicized more. Knowledge is power; and researching is the only way you will become empowered to know. But it later occurred to me, that this particular magazine and this culture in general is teaching the people–adepts and neophytes alike—to manage debt. I don’t know about you, but I do not want to learn how to manage being in a system of debt. I do not want to learn how to take short cuts all the time.

Allow me to clarify.

You see I have chosen to live a holistic lifestyle; so many of the bargain coupons I may run across don’t really apply to me. Bargains such as discounted animal based products and many of the processed foods. When we choose to live in a holistic way, we have an awareness of our consciousness. We choose to make conscious choices for the overall health of our mind, body, and spirit. And those choices do not include settling for something that would risk your health and overall peace of mind, body, and spirit.

I’m talking about more than bargain grocery coupons. I’m speaking in terms of our overall thoughts and feelings about the perceived economic crisis. Believing and reacting to the situation that has been perpetuated by mass media has made people conjure the energy of “settling,” and “just-enough.” This energy, if stoked long enough will lead an individual to believing that one cannot have what it is that they truly desire. Soon, many would find themselves, getting used to and accepting the word, “NO.”

Am I saying don’t make useful, economically sound adjustments. No. There is a beauty of simplicity in living holistic. A freedom that those on the path of enlightenment are not driven by the conflict and anxiety of how much “material” one can acquire. The holistic lifestyle is one of beauty and simplicity. Do not confuse simplicity with poverty or being devoid of having nice things. Blue Lotus Living does not believe in lack. I define simplicity as the “ease” of having all the resources you need to accomplish your life’s purpose. It’s beautiful to adorn oneself and one’s home with what makes you happy—beautiful furnishings, fine gems, prosperous land; but it is not wise to deplete your resources or the earth’s and cause yourself debt, by acquiring something in order to keep up with what is popular or by competing with someone else (the “keeping up with the Jones’ syndrome).

Family, do what you must in order to balance your life. Make the necessary adjustments to balance your lifestyle. But never become used to sacrificing in such a way that it becomes a way of life.

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

Enlightenment, Inspiration, and Creativity – The Blue Lotus Living is An Inspiration to Rise Up and Live Your Life in Full Bloom

Jesse Tillman from Madison Wisconsin emailed me today.  He asked “Is Blue Lotus Living some type of philosophy?  I see a lot about the Blue Lotus on the internet. If Blue Lotus Living is a philosophy, does this philosophy have anything to do with the Blue Lotus flower?”

Well, good question Jesse.  Blue Lotus Living can be seen as a conglomerate of many philosophies.  We do not subscribe to any religion but our creative success system’s infrastructure is built on several schools of thought because Roslyn and I have always found truth in many different philosophies.  The Tao Te Ching, The Lotus Sutras, The Kybalion, The Holy Bible, The Metu Neter, The Book of Coming Forth By Day, and the list goes on.

While we look at these studies as philosophies, we don’t build Blue Lotus Living on any religion.  Blue Lotus Living is about our growth on the path of enlightenment.  We want you to be creative, live an inspirational life, and use your gifts and talents.  We understand that in order for inspiration and creativity to flow in your life, one needs to grow in enlightenment, be well in mind, body, and spirit, and be empowered; therefore, we share a great deal of information on these topics.  Furthermore, we develop practical programs that you can use to help you incorporate various spiritual practices in your life. 

For example, in our latest program The Oracle Within – The Scepter of Prosperity, we developed an After-word guide that included the mantras provided in the Oracle Within message.  To date, we have had 435 people to get the message and the After-word guide.  Many people have shared with us the great progress they have made in their lives as a result of chanting the Sanskrit mantras in the program.

The Sanskrit mantras I prescribed in the deep trance channeling were not for religious purposes, but for spiritual enlightenment and edification.  We want you to rise up and live your life in full bloom.  We want you to be successful.  When we have practice something that has been productive and progressive for us and other people we know and partner with, then we share it with you. 

Again, we want every person who visits this site and becomes a part of the Blue Lotus Living Family to live their life in full bloom.  This is what we care about.  Ultimately, Blue Lotus Living is a creative success system built on love—unconditional love. 

Some days, Roslyn, me and a few other staff members get together and just thank the Universe for ever person who visits this site.  We don’t attempt to create in your reality, but we send powerful intentions out into the universe that each visitor prospers, reaches their fullest potential, grows wiser, and lives well.

Purpose and Intentions – The Energy behind the Unformed Stuff

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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.

Living in Abundance on Alkalizing Raw Foods

In studying Universal Laws of Abundance, it is vital to take care to not neglect the health and wellness aspect of the law.  When individuals choose to study Divine Laws such as, the Law of Giving, the Law Attraction, the Law of Abundance, an eagerness to see the manifestation of the material aspect of wealth is usually the driving force.  But how many realize that if one fails to achieve good health or neglects to understand the importance of having an alkaline living food diet, then the abundance and enjoyment of money will be short lived?  Becoming holistic encompasses the “whole” self uniting in harmony with each part—body, mind, and spirit.  Entrepreneurs also have much to gain when incorporating more raw and living foods into one’s diet.  Living foods encourage mental clarity, while leaving one with a greater sense of focus and stamina.

Think of your body the way a farmer tills the soil.  Your body, just like the soil of the earth, extracts nutrients from the food it’s given.  Enzymes, which are found in (living and raw) foods, aid in the process of digestion (transporting nutrients to the cells).  By choosing alkaline rich foods, (foods with a ph level of 7.0 or higher), these foods contain vital and living enzymes which aid in the digestion and the absorption of nutrients. These nutrients are extracted from the food by the body through the process of assimilation.  If the food is alive, then the process of digestion is easier.  The nutrients are then distributed to the cells and then the healing of the body begins. 

“Let thy food be thy medicine” is a proverb that has been used in indigenous cultures all over the world for thousands of years.  But if the food is void of nutrition, then the healing process is compromised.   According to Wellness Educator, Carmellita Brown:

“For the average person, 80% percent of what we eat has no nutritional value.  About 40% of the foods we consume are meats and animal products such as milk, cheese, butter, which have nutrients, but these nutrients do not assimilate well in the Human body.  We eat it because we enjoy the way it tastes and because it gives us a temporary sense of fullness.  The other 40% is processed foods such as pastas, breads, canned foods, and frozen foods.  Only about 20% of what we eat is actually raw fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts and seeds.  This ratio not only promotes anaerobic pathogens, it also causes obesity, nerve damage, allergies, and stress.”

Making simple dietary changes need not be painful.   For many of us, there is a very real fear of becoming socially isolated and deprived of good tasting food because of changes in dietary choices. Taste is important and does not have to be discarded when making a selection of good healthful foods.  The days of the Scarsdale Diet are over.  You don’t have to eat bland, tasteless, putrid looking foods in order to achieve optimal health.  Here is a recipe that includes a few key foods that can be incorporated into any diet:

1 head of red leaf lettuce
1 cucumber
2 whole tomatoes
1 clove of garlic
2 avocados
1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
2 teaspoons of Cold Press Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Season to taste with dill weed, sea salt, and basil (dry or fresh)
Dash of Celtic “gray” Sea Salt to taste

Chop lettuce, tomatoes, and cucumber.  Finely mince garlic and mix together.  Slice avocados into strips.  Add dill weed, salt, and basil and toss all ingredients together.  You may add hot peppers to your liking  (Serrano, habanero, jalapeno) for a thermogenic effect.  Enjoy

The dill mixed with the avocado will give a rich, creamy, and buttery type taste to the salad. Enjoy the many therapeutic proprieties of the food such as, apple cider vinegar (raising metabolism, cutting appetite), tomatoes (cancer fighting agent) and garlic (reduces high blood pressure).

There’s no need to be in conflict when choosing good, healthful foods.  Here a few tips to keep in mind.  When incorporating holistic foods into the diet always:

1.  Remember when choosing foods, don’t be afraid of Green.
Green is associated with prosperity and growth.  Romaine Lettuce, Kale, Spinach, Bok Choy are enzyme rich, low calorie foods that can be the base of any salad.  Imagine the leafy leaves of lettuce flushing away toxins.
 
2. Don’t let too much brown hang around
Unless it’s brown because it’s a raw nut, seed, or grain, more than likely the thing you are looking at is a “dead” processed or fried food.  Remember processed foods have “0” nutritional value; meaning that over time it physically wears and tears down the body.

3. If the label is too long, put it down
Additives and foreign agents are usually included in foods with lengthy labels.  The body won’t recognize those chemicals and therefore will not be able to digest them.

4.  Add fruit for breakfast
Don’t be afraid to experiment.  Nature has given humanity thousands of exotic fruits to choose from.  Apples, oranges, and bananas are fine, but Mangos, Bosc Pears, black plums, passion fruit, and papayas are a great way to start off any day.

Making small steps towards optimal health need not be taxing or painful.  The earth is plentiful. And as you begin to take steps towards your health, Abundance of the mind, body, and Spirit will be achieved.
