Daily Guide For Inspiration: Better-Than-We-Can-Imagine Scenarios

JanuaryThemeThere are always vast numbers of possibilities before us. Some of these may be more desirable than others. Yet isn’t it simply wonderful to be aware that it is nothing other than our own focus that will determine which of these possibilities we call forth into our experience?

So with this awareness, let us spend time daily training ourselves to focus upon the highest and the best—the Divine Reality. Let us have the intention to move away from contemplating worst case scenarios, and instead let us contemplate not only best case scenarios, but better-than-we-can-imagine scenarios. As we do this we may not always know what the highest and best is, and that is a good thing. It teaches us to let go of trying to control the details, and instead encourages us to simply surrender to that sweet unfolding of good that’s trying to happen. And when we’re in that state of surrender, we are no longer “tying the hands” of the Universal Presence. By definition we have made ourselves available to all of those wonderful blessings that have been waiting for nothing other than our own permission to come into our lives.

Meditative Thought: Surrendering To That Great Unfolding

There comes a great relief once we arrive at the realization that we are not here to make anything happen. Much rather are we here to allow that which is seeking to happen through us to take place. There are qualities that are always seeking to be expressed. Qualities such as love, joy, beauty, well-being, creativity, joyous expansion, and harmonizing prosperity, just to name a few. These are some of the qualities that can be found all throughout nature. And so these qualities are seeking to be revealed in our lives as well.

Knowing this frees us up from feeling like we have to control other people, places, or situations; and instead we find we are able to simply trust that, as we make ourselves available, everything will unfold for the highest good of all concerned. Rather than moving through life always struggling to make something happen, we have instead relaxed into the sweet ease and grace that can come only from surrendering to that great unfolding that is always ongoing. What we have become is conscious participants in the eternal dance of creation.

Video Interview: Understanding Conscious Evolution

Barbara Marx Hubbard is a visionary who has been described as “the voice for conscious evolution of our time,” and who is the co-founder and chairperson of the Foundation for Conscious Evolution. Discussed in this interview are some of the extraordinary evolutionary changes that are currently happening on our planet.

Meditative Thought: Some Conscious Retraining

Everything in nature unfolds with harmonious ease and grace. The acorn does not struggle to become an oak tree. The cocoon does not kick and scream its way to becoming a butterfly. And the newly planted seed does not bemoan how tiny it is, and then dwell upon whether or not it will ever turn into a beautiful rose.

Yet what sets you and me apart is that — unlike the acorn, the cocoon, and the seed — we are beings of self-reflective awareness. This means we have free-will. And so we must be mindful to consciously retrain ourselves back into alignment with that creative impulse that is forever unfolding in perfect harmony.

So rather than thinking about whether or not we will ever arrive at our desired end result, let us instead contemplate that All That Is is ready and willing to support us. And let us be available towards wherever the Law of Perfect Unfoldment will take us on this sweet journey of ours. As we do this, we are making a declaration of trust. We are trusting beloved Mother-Father-God, and we are living our lives as conscious participants in this wonderful and eternal dance of creation.

Meditative Thought: Living From The Inside Out

As we mature on our path we no longer live life from the outside in – meaning that the seemingly external controls our state of consciousness, our state of being, and the choices and decisions we make – and instead we live from the inside out.

Living from the inside out means we are living life with intentionality. It means that we have a sacred vision, and this vision is what determines everything we think, say, and do. Instead of being dragged around by circumstances and conditions, we have realized that we are here because we have something to give. We are here because we have something to share.

So let us be mindful to live from the inside out. And let us be aware that as we do so, we are getting back in touch with and reclaiming those creative faculties and divine qualities that are at the core of our very Being.

AFFIRMATIONS

I live, move, and have my Being as an individualized center of God-Consciousness.

In me is all of the love, all of the peace, and all of the joy there is.

Divine love, peace, and healing are the order of my Being.

I see the highest potentiality for myself, for everyone around me, and for the entire planet.

I am fully receptive to the divine qualities that are seeking to emerge and express through me.

And so I let it be. And so it is. Amen.

Meditative Thought: The Most Rewarding Journey

As we progress on our spiritual journey, there will invariably be some life changes that will begin to emerge. Slowly but surely, we may find that we are letting go of old habits, we are releasing the things that no longer serve us. We are essentially saying good-bye to the lesser so that we may welcome in its place the higher.

This is a natural byproduct of living an awakened life. And though the process may be gradual – it is inevitable. We simply cannot help but become more of our True Selves. We cannot help but to demonstrate more of our limitless nature, we cannot help but to actualize more of our inborn divine genius coding.

So as you engage in your spiritual practice – as you take time to mediate, to affirmatively pray, to contemplate, and to tune into the highest vision for your life – know that you are in fact creating the space within your own awareness that will allow for this sweet transformative process to occur. And there is no journey more rewarding than the journey that takes you back to your True Self.

Meditative Thought: Conscious Participants In The Eternal Dance Of Creation

There is a very real and tangible science behind the fact that every single one of us are the creators of our experience. Our thoughts, beliefs, and expectations are always perfectly mirrored back to us – regardless of whether these thoughts, beliefs, and expectations are conscious or unconscious.

So when we think a thought, when we imagine something, we are literally causing the molecules and atoms to rearrange themselves in a way that will make them replicate in seemingly outward experience the essence of what we have thought about, the essence of what we have imagined.

With this awareness let us take time each day to consciously tune into our vision. Let us see it, let us feel it, let us contemplate it as if it’s already done – always leaving room for it to even exceed our wildest imaginings.

Let us become conscious participants in the eternal dance of creation that is forever unfolding all throughout the cosmos. And let us step into those magnificent lives of ours that we came here to live.

Gratitude Song, Weekly Recap, Recommended Links, and Affirmations

And with another Sunday comes another weekly recap. We’ve had quite some activity on the site this week, including two video posts, one of which being my first video blog. There will definitely be more of these video messages coming up very shortly, so keep an eye out for that. And I would like to take this moment to also introduce you to this particular site: Awakened Life Now Media

What you will find there is an Awakened Life Now YouTube Channel. It’s still in the beginning stages, but basically the idea behind it is to create a hub that features a vast number of higher consciousness videos — anything from music to interviews to seminars and workshops. I figured it would be nice to have a channel where you can find a lot of the great teachings that are out there right now. Some of which you may already be familiar with, and some of which may be new to you. Anything from EFT to Science of Mind, Abraham-Hicks, and much, much more. So definitely check it out and allow your Soul to be nourished by these empowering, healing, and revealing teachings of truth.

Also, if you are a regular reader of this website and you find that you resonate with what is being shared here, please feel free to keep referring your friends or anyone you know that may be interested. The internet is powerful in that it connects us with individuals all over the world, and what it does here is allow us to come together — regardless of where we are within the confines of time and space — for the purpose of simply just expanding our awareness together, and allowing us all to become more of our true selves.

And now, as you proceed to check out our weekly recap, the recommended links and the affirmations, allow yourself to just feel deeply grateful. Grateful for this moment, grateful for this day, grateful for all existence.

Much Love and Blessings!

ACTIVATE YOUR POTENTIAL – YOUR DESTINY AWAITS!

As you take these next few moments to read this particular entry, allow yourself to feel good about the fact that, right here and right now, you are consciously choosing to evolve. Because that’s exactly what you’re doing. You are investing these next few minutes of your day into your Soul’s ongoing growth and evolution. Through reading material such as the content found on this blog and others like it, and through, most importantly, practicing the spiritual tools and insights that are being offered here, you are making a commitment to raise your level of vibration. As you do this, you begin to inhabit a frequency that is above that at which much of our mainstream society vibrates. Slowly but surely you begin to embody a standard of excellence in anything and everything that you do. Slowly but surely you begin to move away from living life from a fear-based perspective – thinking there’s not enough, or that you’re not good enough, or that somehow you just can’t do what in your heart you want to do – towards living life from the loving perspective of higher awareness. This living life from the loving perspective of higher awareness is what I like to call living the awakened life. And living the awakened life means that we have chosen to move out of Victimville and relocate into the Land of Empowerment. Living the awakened life means that we are letting go of being reactionaries, and instead we are embodying the empowering traits of revolutionaries.

Now I’m sure you’ve already caught onto this, but let me just say it anyway: this is a really big deal! The reason being that it will be the revolutionaries that will not only transform their own lives, but ultimately transform the entire planet and give birth to what has been called “a new heaven and a new earth.” Not in some distant future, not by waiting for God to “show up” someday to help us out – but through embodying a more conscious way of life right here and right now. A big deal, indeed!

So whereas last week’s entry had been revolving mainly around us transforming our own individual lives, this week we will be looking a little bit more at the global implications of these matters. You may even want to reread last week’s entry, particularly the part that talks about the empowering traits of revolutionaries. Because, as I’ve indicated, it will be the revolutionaries that will give birth to what we may call humanity’s next stage of unfolding.

  • An Inner Revolution

Sun-125012_678x200  There is indeed a revolution occurring on our planet at this particular time in human history. Yet this may not be apparent, as this is not a revolution that relies on the use of weapons, or on the waging of wars, or on the overthrowing of individuals in positions of power. No. This particular revolution is an inner revolution. This revolution begins within the sacred space of our own awareness – within the sacred space of every human being – as we gradually allow our level of consciousness to be raised. As we raise our level of consciousness, we begin to see things differently. In fact, we begin to cultivate within us the ability to practice the art of True Vision.

And so this revolution begins with those of us who are, first of all, receptive to the change that is occurring. As I stated, this change won’t appear obvious at first. Certainly you won’t notice it if you spend too much time watching CNN or any other news media. Furthermore, this revolution begins with those of us who are aware that this change is not something to be feared, but much rather something to be celebrated. It begins with those of us who are able to see that there is indeed a grand future that has been laid out for the human race, that the coming chapters of the ongoing unfolding of humanity’s story may surpass even our greatest hopes and dreams. That we may truly begin to anchor heaven on earth – on earth as it is in the Mind of God.

Now this grand future for humanity is not something that’s just going to happen all by itself. December 21st won’t come along and, all of a sudden, zap! – everyone’s enlightened! No, that will hardly be the case. Much rather, just as we must choose to evolve in our individual lives, so humanity as a whole must choose to make that evolutionary leap. And this is where you and I – and all of us who are making this conscious choice – come in. In order to bring about this evolutionary leap on a global scale, we must begin right at home, within the sweetness of our own consciousness. Rather than going out and trying to change the world by means of force – which is just a form of resistance – we instead embody the state of awareness that we want to see reflected back to us on a global scale. We must indeed, as the above quote by Gandhi puts it, “be the change we want to see in the world.” It is only from embodying this higher state of awareness that we can truly be of service. And it is only from this higher awareness that we will not only activate our own Soul’s Potential, but in fact help humanity to embody its true potentiality which, just as the very cosmos itself, is limitless.

So let us once more dare to have a vision. Let us dare to have a dream that will impact the entire world, a dream that in fact includes the entire world. Let us have the inner vision to dream of a peaceful, kind, and just global society; let us dare to dream of a society that is built on oneness rather than separation; let us dare to envision a society that embraces the sweet diversity found within the human race, realizing that this diversity represents nothing less than the infinitude of Divinity – it represents the beauty of God that is reflected back to us through the eyes of every individual and through the collective souls of all nations. And let us dare to see the limitless nature of the Infinite manifested through the vast multiplicity of cultures; let us dare to celebrate the sweet variety of humanity, and let us honor the beauty in all races, in all nations, in all cultures, and in all sexual orientations – for all of it represents the One Life that is the Life of God that is forever unfolding and revealing more of itself. That is the “new heaven and the new earth.” That is what is seeking to emerge at this moment in history. So let’s let that be the revolutionary vision that we hold for this planet and for the entire human race.

  • The Signs of Transformation

transform-yourself   Anytime that real transformation occurs, be it either individual or global, things may be shaken up just a tad bit. Yet this is perfectly normal as this shaking up represents the old structures falling apart. Naturally, to those who don’t know what’s happening this may seem a little unsettling. And while this “weeping and gnashing of teeth” was indicated a long time ago by one of the most evolved beings to have ever walked the face of the earth, it does not represent what we might call “the end of the world.” It is simply “the end of how things used to be.” It is the old giving way to the new.

Evolution is the natural order of things, it is the flow of the Universe. Everything in nature is always in the process of evolving. Nothing remains the same, everything is in a state of unfolding and revealing more of its true nature. And so too is humanity simply in a state of evolving. This evolution – just like the revolution – is internal, meaning it is occurring within our own awareness. And it is the collective consciousness of humanity that is seeking to evolve; it is the collective consciousness of humanity that is seeking to make the leap into the new world; it is the collective consciousness of humanity that is seeking to move away from those lower frequencies of fear, doubt, and worry; of lack, limitation, and scarcity, towards beginning to embody a powerful awareness of these higher realities.

This evolution has always been ongoing, yet it has now reached a crucial moment. It has reached a point where, energetically speaking, the old and the new are clashing. Meaning that right now on our planet the lower energies of fear, worry, and scarcity are rubbing against the higher frequencies of love, well-being, and generosity to a greater degree than ever before in human history. And with everything being energy, it is these opposite energy polarities rubbing against each other on a planetary scale that brings about these signs of transformation, which are simply birth pains. Yet, as I’ve stated last week, the higher always dissolves the lesser. That is because the higher is a presence, whereas the lesser is an absence. And so, as these opposite energy polarities rub against each other, it is only a matter of time until the higher frequencies begin to reach critical mass, and slowly but surely the lower begins to vibrate, quite literally, out of existence.

So what I’m saying today is this: Let us participate in the higher. Let us consciously participate in what is seeking to happen here. Let us embody in consciousness the change we want to see happening on a global scale. Let us be bold enough to hold in our awareness this vision of a new world – a world that truly represents humanity’s limitless potential. Let us prepare for the possibility of it turning out even better than anything we could ever imagine.

BECOMING REVOLUTIONARIES OF ONENESS

Hands on a globe

A few weeks ago we had been looking at what quantum physics calls the Unified Field. It is the vibrant field of energy out of which everything emerges and in which everything lives, moves, and has its being. You and I have not only emerged out of this Field, we also embody all of the qualities that are found within this Field. These qualities are being expressed everywhere in the cosmos, they are always life-giving and nurturing. They are what we may call divine qualities. These are the qualities of love, beauty, abundance, harmony, creativity, constant joyous expansion – things of this nature. Quantum physics also states that there are no well-defined edges in space and time. And this means that, at the quantum level, everything blends into each other. There is no one point where you end and where something else begins. There is no one point where you end and where God begins. It’s all one.

To be revolutionaries of oneness we must learn to go beyond merely intellectually grasping this – we must learn to embody this truth in our day to day lives. So how do we do this? How do we experience that we’re one with everyone and everything? Fortunately, this is very simple.

You experience Oneness by becoming the embodiment of Love. This is because Love is seeing one’s Self in the “other.” When you’re in Love, boundaries begin to melt away, and you begin to sense in a powerful way that you’re connected to All That Is.

And when we say Love, we’re not talking about love for a particular person or thing. What we’re talking about is Love with a capital “L.” This is Love as the purest state of consciousness, as our natural state of being. It is once we begin to embody this state of being, once we begin to consciously practice unconditional love in our day to day lives, that we begin to truly grasp the meaning of the beautiful quote that says, “My Love radiates from my heart like light from a bonfire; focused upon no one, and denied to none.”

I_remember_Oneness

So as you continue to go about your day, and throughout your coming days, allow yourself to just have an awareness that there really is no separation between you and what you perceive as being around you. And allow yourself to be aware that, while your physical senses may tell you otherwise, you actually share a very deep and intimate connection to everyone and everything in existence. So have the courage to truly look at someone, to truly see who they really are; and allow yourself to just love them.

Yet to be able to do this, you must first love yourself. It is only then that you can “love thy neighbor as thyself.” For in truth, thy neighbor is thyself. So shower yourself with love and appreciation. See yourself the way God sees you. See your own magnificence and feel how precious you are. There’s so much potential in you. There is a divine genius code within your very Soul that is seeking to be set free by means of you. Surrender to that awareness. Feel it. Embody it. Believe it. Know it. And then, let that transformative Love radiate out from the core of your being like light from a bonfire – and watch how you become a powerful force for good on this planet.

EMBODIMENT

As I focus inward upon the sacred space of my own awareness, I allow myself to have a grand vision. I allow myself to see what is possible not only in my own life, but what is possible for humanity as a whole. I see the earth immersed in the white light of divinity; I see this entire planet thriving; I bless the earth and I bless all of humanity. I give thanks for the joyous unfolding that is now occurring, and I allow myself to see beyond of what my surface mind thinks is possible. I am available to more good than I have ever imagined. I am available to planetary shifts occurring beyond of what I have imagined. On earth as it is in the Mind of God. On earth as it is in the Realm of the Ever-Expanding Good. I give thanks for all that I have, for all that I am, and for all that I am in the process of becoming. And so I let it be. And so it is. Amen.
