What Life Wants

So Much To Be Grateful For

 

You began our writing session this morning with a prayer of gratitude. This is an excellent way to set the tone for any higher vibrational work you wish to begin. Simple thanks is all it takes.

Your list does not need to be long, just heartfelt.

Try it next time you have a complicated task in front of you. Express your thanks - ahead of time - that everything worked out beautifully. Be consistently grateful for the bounty in your life and it will always be there for you. Thank the people around you for their support... and their lessons.

Gratitude is one of the building blocks of higher vibrational work. Its importance for aligning with the Infinite Presence cannot be overstated.

Yet it is so easy just to say, "Thank you."

 

A Roof Over Your Head

 

Your roofer arrives today to patch the section of roof that leaked during the last rainstorm. The roof over your head will, once again, be reliable for keeping out the elements. But, like any other man-made structure, it wears out and needs fixing from time to time.

The natural world is more self-sustaining. When was the last time the sun needed repairs, or the Great Lakes or the ancient forests? As far as humans are concerned, these resources have always been there and continue to function as they have always done. Unless humans interfere by damming, logging, or drilling.

In a few hours, your home will be watertight once more. But how do you repair or replace the habitats of other animal species whose homes and hunting grounds have been destroyed by human undertakings? Whether on the local level, with subdivisions where marshes used to be or internationally with oil spills and radiation leaks causing havoc worldwide, at what point do you say, "Enough?"

Where is the middle ground whereby all life is taken into consideration when decisions are made? The omnipresent Infinite Source of Life is not a human invention. All Life is imbued with its energy and sacred nature. All.

And all living creatures on Earth regard this beautiful planet as "home sweet home." Try not to break too many more roofs.

 

There Is Only One Power

 

The vastness of the Infinite Spirit is unfathomable. The breadth of Its understanding is unknowable. Yet the love you feel coming from this Power can be comforting and personal. How is that?

The eternal aspect of you stays connected to the Divine Presence 24/7, even while you practice unkind actions and vibration-lowering emotions. When you tap back into the sacred part of yourself, however, you can instantly feel the love you temporarily forgot about... because part of you is always there, aligned with Source energy, at one with All That Is.

There are many methods for raising your vibration and being at one with the Divine - walking in nature, uplifting music, meditation, feeling immense love for your child. Lately you have been listening to a PowerVision Contemplation that takes you consistently higher than other methods you have tried. You also have some "go-to" books that lift you up when you need that extra boost to carry on.

Whatever it takes, do it. You are at a major crossroad in your life now and the vibrational level you are able to maintain will determine the direction you will follow. Will you take the high road and realize your dreams? Or will you follow the lesser, easy path... again.

Fingers crossed.

A Million Years from Now

 

From the perspective of eternity, the average human life span is very brief. A blip on the timeline of Life. A million years from now, who will remember the deeds of the little hiccup that was you?

You will, for one.

You know that you are an eternal essence living part of your life in a physical body on planet Earth. Even with your minuscule life span, you are nevertheless supported by the Infinite Power of All Life. This was true a million years ago and will be true a million years from now. Your capacity for greatness is only limited by your understanding of this fact.

The Power of the Infinite runs through everything. This Power is always available for you to tap into. When you dissolve into the eternal energy of your Higher Self, you allow this Power to flow through you, filling your entire being with high vibrational energy.

The mystics and saints recognized this... but in truth, it is available to everyone.

Imagine what your world would be like if all humans allowed the Power of the Infinite to fill them as they lived from day to day. Imagine the impact on life everywhere.

Even a million years from now.

A Little Bit of Pain

 

You recently had some dental work done and are still feeling a few residual twinges of pain from all the poking and probing. The same thing happens when you awaken the sleeping giant in your life. As you enliven the Divine essence within yourself, the shadow aspects of your life dig in, stabbing at the Light that would diminish them.

While you are aligned with the Divine Aspect of your being, you feel blissful and in harmony with all. This is easiest done when you are alone and quiet. When faced with situations or people you have difficulties with, what happens? Do you stay serene and connected with your Higher Self... or slide into your previous ways of handling things?

And then, when you realize what you have done, you feel remorse, because once you acknowledge your inner divinity, you are aware of this new ideal to strive for... and of how your old behavior palls in comparison.

These are the "growing pains" of awakening to your own Light. And a signal that you are absorbing more of it than you realized. Do not stay in guilt for long, however, for it will suck the life right out of you.

As long as you understood the lesson and learned from it, the shadows will begin to go dormant and the Light will continue to expand.

Truly.

Wynken, Blynken and Nod

 

Sometimes you could use a lullaby to soothe you to sleep after a hectic day. For some reason, complete weariness does not always translate into easy slumber, especially when the remnants of your daytime activities follow you to bed.

When this happens, try a simple mantra to relax yourself into sleep.

A gratitude mantra, for example: "Thank you, thank you, thank you." Feel your vibration lift and your busy thoughts recede.

Or invoke the vibration of Christ consciousness with "Yeshua, Yeshua, Yeshua."

Others to try are: "I am love," "I am peace," "I AM that I AM" or "All is well; all is as it should be."

Some of Florence Scovel Shinn's affirmations can be used as powerful mantras: "My ships come in over calm seas," "The ground I am on is holy ground," and "I cast this burden on the Christ within, and I go free."

Mantras are meant to - fairly quickly - transport you into a zone of higher awareness, where the troubles of the day no longer exist and the presence of the Infinite is evident... and comforting.

Choose or create a mantra that opens your heart - your "go-to" mantra that always makes you feel better - and use it whenever you need a vibrational boost.

Happy dreams.

Divinity Isn't Just a Fudge

 

When you refer to the "Divine Aspect of your being," you use the term interchangeably with "Higher Self." You could also use terminology such as inner being, eternal self, inner divinity, and there are many more.

This is the energy which has given birth to the consciousness of the physical you. Your consciousness is intricately meshed with that of your Higher Self, even when you are not aware of it. Think of it like an unborn baby in the womb, separate but dependent upon the host who houses it.

In fact, when you feel your Higher Self energy coming close, it is like being enveloped in a comforting embrace, like a mantle of love being placed around your shoulders. Like coming home.

As a human, it seems odd to think about the greater aspect of yourself residing in another dimension. You are accustomed to controlling the details of your life, yet there is so much more than meets the eye. You are just now dipping your toes into the pool of understanding that can reveal how it all works.

When you learn to become less human-centric and more All-centric, you begin to see more clearly. All-That-Is is just that... Everything. You are part of this Everything. Your experiences as a human contribute to the expansion of Everything, just as the totality of Everything's awareness is available to assist you when you remember to ask for guidance. Everything exists in all dimensions, including the 3-dimensional world in which you currently live.

Your Higher Self, on the other hand, dwells closer to the center of Everything. Sometimes you call Everything "God," but humans have created such a limited, small vision of God that using the terms "All-That-Is" or "Source" are preferable so as to not conceptually diminish the totality of its essence.

Just as you are the "baby in the womb" of your Higher Self's energy, so is your Higher Self in a similar relationship with All-That-Is. Separate, but contained within the All, like a cell on the tip of your finger, having its own cellular memory and purpose and, at the same time, existing as a necessary component of the finger and the whole body.

The dance of Life is intricate and each aspect of your life, seen and unseen, is important to the whole. When you realize that you are, in truth, a part of Everything, your eyes open to the infinite possibilities that are available to you. And when you forget, the Divine Aspect of your being gives you little reminders. In your case, a couple of illnesses that put you back on the track to wholeness.

The day-to-day details of your life can distract you from what really counts... knowing that you are one with All-That-Is all the time. You don't need to go looking for the Divine outside of yourself, in other words. You are already there.

The trick is to not get so bogged down in trivia that you forget to see your own Light.

Finding Your Self

 

Where do you think your Higher Self resides? Above your head, as some have taught you? In a separate spirit realm as others seem to suggest? Why would the Divine Aspect of yourself be outside of you or far away from you?

You know that your being comprises more than your physical body. The other energy bodies that make up the totality of you surround you and vibrate in tune with your thoughts, emotions and your sense of connectedness with the Infinite. And what is your direct pipeline to Source? Your Higher Self.

When you feel your Higher Self come closer, does the energy climb in through your crown chakra from somewhere overhead? Do you feel as if you are speaking with someone on a cloud somewhere? No.

When you invite your Higher Self to blend with your physical energy body, does it not feel like a warm embrace that envelops you all around? Your Higher Self is not separate from you, but resides in the subtle energy body that is part of you. In the energetic part of you that vibrates high enough to connect with Source energy.

Your connection with Divine Energy is built in. Each person has the same blueprint. It is up to the individual to figure out how to directly access this Divine Energy, to sustain the Life Force that makes human existence shine.

Your Higher Self only waits for your invitation. When you ask the Divine Aspect of yourself to come closer, you can sense the energetic shift. It feels like coming home, yes?

And that is what Life wants.

Trick or Treat

 

All Hallow's Eve, or what you call Halloween is approaching. You saw the candy in the stores yesterday.

Traditions say that this is the time when spirits of the departed visit the world they left behind. That is one reason children wear "ghost" costumes when they go door to door. There is so much noise and activity with your current Halloween celebrations, however, that no real wraith from the spirit worlds is likely to be noticed at all. 

In older times, people locked their doors and remained inside, worried they might be caught unawares by angry ghouls in the night.

Neither method really works, though.

When faced with unknown fears, it is always better to... well... face them.

Hiding from your shadows doesn't work, nor does creating distractions. Sometimes a trained counselor can help you see more clearly what is keeping you locked in place. Journaling, such as you are doing with this blog, is a helpful way to bring unseen issues to light.

You are a work-in-progress and you only progress further when you shed the dead weight on your shoulders. What baggage do you still carry? What traits and conditions inhibit your freedom?

The trick to life is unearthing that pure inner core of Divine Spirit that has remained buried too long under fears, debts and distractions.

When that light shines more brightly, no ghosts will ever frighten you again.
