WHERE SHOULD WE LOOK FOR MANIFESTATION?

            WHERE SHOULD WE LOOK FOR                                              MANIFESTATION?

In my last blog I talked about our duality, and I would like to continue in that vein this week. Because we see ourselves as unconnected to the Divine, Universal Consciousness, Creative Energy, whatever you wish to call it; we feel we have to look outside ourselves for assistance in this area. We look to literature and teachers, guides and gurus for help and we forget that we are the experts of us. Just because we are learning, growing and changing constantly does not mean that anyone knows us better than we do.

We are our greatest source of wisdom and source of guidance. We are, because you are the expert of you. You created the ‘you’ that you are now and the ‘you’ that you are creating as well as the ‘you’ that you will become in the future. You know what needs to be let go, what needs to be strengthened, what needs to be relearned, turned around and changed. You know what you need to manifest, how big/small, how far reaching, whether it will honor your deepest and greatest truths, your core values. No one outside yourself can know these things or guide you to them; you are the only one who can do that. You are your designer and creator, director and guide.

You can read and listen to those around you for inspiration but all the while you must pay attention to what resonates within you. Should you follow another person’s path? You may try if you like but do it with awareness. Be aware that as they pass along their path, the person you are following changes it so that you are not following the exact path they followed. And, as you pass along your path, you will change it in your way as you grow into you next step of personal evolution.

You will manifest what you create inside your innermost being. If/when you reconnect to your innermost self, your inner most truth and love, you become free of the doctrines, designs and dogmas of others. You are free at your highest level to honor your truest being to embrace your inner light and let it shine out in a way that only you can. Then, you will manifest, from within the wonderful being that is you, just exactly what you truly desire.

What Are You Thinking?(About)

                   What Are You Thinking?(About)

Grant Morris said, “Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there! But what do we choose to keep in this miraculous cabinet? Little broken things: sad trinkets that we play with over and over. The world turns our key, and we play the same little tune again and again and we think that tune's all we are.”

Unfortunately, he is correct. Humans have a tendency to keep and hold all the hurtful and broken bits of life. We hang on to them like they are our defining images. Because we identify so strongly with and invest so much emotion and energy into these nasty little tidbits that we eventually manifest that broken energy as the person we project to the world. We actually believe that it is these “sad little trinkets” that define us and so that is what we become; “…little broken things…playing the same little tune again and again and we think that tune's all we are.” Personally, I don’t feel that I want to be sad, broken, small, or having the “world turning my key” so that I dance to the tunes of others. I want to be my own master and play my own music and be all that I can be but, I am asked often, is this change possible?

Consider that Morris also said “Your head's like mine, like all our heads; big enough to contain every god and devil there ever was. Big enough to hold the weight of oceans and the turning stars. Whole universes fit in there!” so I challenge you to see this side of being human; this part of us that will allow us to do away with the false beliefs and notions and allow the seeing of the magnificent, positive thoughts and universes that we can embrace and create.

Everything in life should please and astonish you with its awesomeness and that is what you should embrace. Embrace it, hold it close, share it with everyone and let it shine out from your innermost being. Understand that you can change what you think about as well as how you think about things. By doing this one thing you can and will turn your whole world around and make it the beautiful, exciting and loving place you live in. Consider this as you form your opinions and beliefs from now on.

Don’t Let Life Discourage You

                     Don’t Let Life Discourage You

“Don’t let life discourage you; everyone who got where he has had to begin where he was.” (Richard L. Evans)

Chances are one day you decided to change some things in your life. You were where you were and somehow it just didn’t quite feel right, it didn’t fit. It may have been any one of a number of things, a notion that feels wrong now, an old piece of knowledge that you have just found out was incorrect information or, possibly you have found that a way of thinking about some issue or group now seems unworthy of you. Whatever made you wake up and realize that self-improvement was in order is to be applauded.

Changing anything requires you to start somewhere and I suggest that where ever you find yourself is the perfect place for you to begin. The simple fact that you have come to this conclusion is an awesome step for you, for everyone trying to make their lives better.

Start with baby steps, they get better results and as you see progress you will be encouraged to keep going. Self-improvement is always time invested in your most valuable asset, you. Like the instructions when you are on a plane to put the oxygen mask on yourself before helping the person next to you; if you are not in a healthy, whole, balanced place you can’t help anyone else.

Even if you can respect someone for being a mess because you’re a mess too, you don’t have to stay that way. Learn to respect yourself for the right reasons and watch your mess straighten out.

Some of your baby steps might be to think of all the things you feel are important to you; then ask yourself if they are worthy of you? Do they raise your vibrations? Do they move you to grow? Would they be precious to you if they were suddenly gone? If so then enjoy, if not then lose them because when you change how and what you think about, how and what you think about changes.

To get to the good things in life not only do you need to make changes in the way you think and perceive things, you have to let your walls down and take the chance that you might get hurt; this is better than feeling nothing and, as you grow toward your goals of wholeness and betterment, the absence of walls will allow your feelings to become those of joy that all of us want to achieve.

Remember that life, especially a conscious and aware one doesn’t just happen; it requires your participation so participate with joy, empathy and balance of body, mind and spirit. Know too as you work that you are the bridge between where you are now and where you want to be and that the only person who can get you there is you.

I wish you an awesome journey and Bright Blessings. Chessie
