The greatest illusion that enshrouds us is that all things are individual and apart from one another. This gives us the perspective of isolationism, helplessness and need.
The belief that all things and creatures are individual entities unto themselves causes us to seek out others for companionship and validation while competing for the “things” we believe we need to sustain us and finally defending ourselves and shunning those that would do us harm or make us less than we see ourselves to be.
Once we come to the realization that all things are ONE THING and not apart from but a part of everything, life changes as fear is replaced by love and contribution replaces competition. 
Spiritually and physically all of life is only 1 life with unlimited parts and components. It is the same as how our bodies have limbs, blood, organs, bacteria, enzymes, and millions of living organisms as its parts; so is the body only a small part 
of the WHOLE.
Everything we know as our world,(and much, much more) is God. There is no beginning or end to this life. We are individuated by our limiting thoughts of self (which is the ADAM & EVE STORY). When we focus internally we can find the point of intersection where the God mind overtakes the individuated mind. That is the small voice we call conscience.
By listening to this voice as opposed to the garbage coming at us from the illusion, we can find our purpose, live our bliss and be free from fear and pain.
This is The RealEYEzation of ONENESS. We see life through the real eyes of spiritual truth and are set free from the self imposed bondage and limitation of the self.
The Journey IS the DESTINATION.
folk, may have interpreted this “law” as a genie in a bottle. They now stand in front of the mirror reciting affirmations of themselves being rich, fit, popular, charismatic, sex gods that are loved by millions and will live forever. Once the reality sets in that these things simply are not going to come to be, they become despondent, and feel they were sold snake oil. I am concerned about this prevailing situation as I am an advocate for all things LOA. I just understand that there is more to living from intention, creating your life on your terms, than just paying lip service to believing in fairy tales.
making a contribution. Our gift, or talent is what we are meant to use a the puzzle piece to put in place. Then, the greater the impact we have on the collective, the more that will come back to us. karma, or as you sw=ow so shall you reap, comes into play. Then we need to have the calm resolve of knowing that simply by doing our part, all of our needs will be met, then we will not have fear. That is when we may understand that that bundle of money we thought was our wildest dream, was only an antidote for our fear. We can then change our dream to wanting to impact more lives in a positive way, (regardless the pay day).
directly related to the fear of being visited by the 3 ghosts as Ebeneezer Scrooge was, but I think not.
religious. If based solely on the dogma of the day, they would more than likely ignore it. By thinking of buying gifts, visiting relatives and friends, having and attending parties we are directed toward thoughts of the joy these people bring to our lives, the gratitude we have for our inclusion in theirs and the appreciation for what 
we have, can share, and look forward to giving/getting.
was preceded by ricin laced letters being sent to The White House and several Republican figures. There is nothing on the news lately that demonstrates Americans being GRATEFUL about anything. Lucky for us there are 328 million people in The Good Ole US of A. What we see thrust at us from the media may tend to reflect 2-3% of us. I’m not jumping on the “fake news” train, but sharing that news in general is only reflective of very few, out front, public situations. The vast majority live our lives in relative obscurity, bordering on anonymity. Like the tip of an iceberg, what we see is minutia compared to what is there. That is certainly a relief to me, how about you?
. Any authentic expression demands a genuine commitment to the value of it.
Post those weddings, births, puppies and butterflies on social media. Turn off the negativity of the news and refuse to discuss their toxic stories, “fake or real”. If we claim to be grateful, we will strive to attract, and create more of the same. We will never attract peace with hammer. This year, we should all say Thank You!
not, if the sun shines or rains pours on my BBQ, when I stub my toe or not and if traffic is light or heavy and parking space available or not. It is all base upon our thoughts.
experience, which is necessary for JOY. The Bible tells us : do unto others, etc. and be charitable, and what you do to them, you do to me. We are also taught that we each have a special gift or talent that is to be used to contrinute to the well being of the common good, in the same way your legs propel you, and your eyes show the way, each of us needs to do our part like pieces of a puzzle. When we are using our gifts ( the talents that bring us joy to exercise) and make a contribution to the WHOLE, then the WHOLE responds in kind, and our needs are met. ERGO: NIRVANA, or HEAVEN ON EARTH.
happiness and joy cannot be realized without them. There is fear that we will not have “ enough” to survive our days comfortably. This exposes the truth that the #1 situation we are all trying to attract is coming from fear, when we will only attract conditions that are aligned with our feelings of love, gratitude, and joy. This will sabotage any effort to follow a specific intent.
nly path to bliss is on a carpet of authenticity. Look within and determine what truly brings you joy, absent of anything external. Make choices based upon that, and the questions will go away. Popeye knew it, he always said: “ I YAM WHAT I YAM!”
ALL A MATTER OF CHOICE
least expect it. So just what is this monster and why do so many suffer from it? Even more importantly, how do we rid ourselves of it, or avoid it altogether?
We look to outside conditions to bring us what we need, forgetting that the conditions we see “OUT THERE” came from within us.
When we look to the external reality all around us, we must cease from expecting it to SAVE us, and realize that we are seeing what we have put there. Looking within for those situations that have restricted our ability to live in joy and changing how we view life will then put an entirely different picture outside the window of our creation.
refusing to allow their genuine personality to make the requisite contribution to the “WHOLE” that it was intended to make. This leaves the Mosaic of life with missing pieces.
Each and every thing, person, component has a purpose. When the true nature of any part is corrupted, the entire picture is compromised.
One of the very first pieces I ever wrote for publication was for the CT Citizen News. I gave it the same title as this article. In the piece, I addressed the futility of attempting to be other than what we actually are. We’ve all heard the axiom:” A leopard can’t change its spots”. The article was a humorous recollection of how we had to clean our garage every year by taking everything out into the street, tossing away half of it, cleaning & sweeping, then replacing everything of value and purpose in a strategic manner that we could easily access them. Within a few short weeks, the garage once again looked like a bomb hit it. The point being; if you’re a mess at heart, that messiness will find it’s way to the surface, the same as water always managing to stay at it’s own level.
Nuff said. We need ya’all just as your were intended to be. Authenticity, genuine personalities, “The Real Thing”, is much more appealing than any concoction born of low self-esteem and jealousy will ever be. After all, no matter how hard you try, the water will stay at it’s own level, and the leopards spots will remain. Full circle always prevails.
