( FELLOW) Ships that pass in the night.

Humanity is not comprised of billions of people, but may parts of a greater WHOLE

Just as a family pulls together for the betterment of each, thereby improving the familial bond, and a team works as one for the victories of the whole, as well as a company of employees all contribute to the success of the host, whereby all parts derive benefit from their contribution.

Such is the makeup of life.

The reflection of Divinity in Form is not a fragmented mosaiccollection of individuals, but a glistening mosaic of joy and love. The diverse nature of the contrasting hues brings flavor and mystery, while each component complements the other, elevating the grandeur of Its being. With darkness setting stage for magnificent sunrises, and violent stormy nights allowing for the appreciation of crisp clear skies, so too do the maladies of man usher in the joy of victory and the gratitude of redemption.

No condition exists that has not been sanctified by Our God. The good, the bad, the ugly and magnificently breathtaking, share one common seed. DIVINE ONENESS

With the understanding that ALL THINGS ARE ONE THING, sharing eternity in a perpetual state of change, we must accept that every encounter leaves with it an indestructible mark that forever changes us by virtue of the even the slightest contact.

Many say we are the product of our choices, truer words have not been spoken, yet the greater truth is that who we are has been created by the pieces we take from one another. Every contact leaves a mark, for better or worse.

The very point of life is the creation of joy through the expansion of the universe, UniVerse being the single song of Love.

We exist solely to expand the physical presence of God which is Love. Our individual, and collective mission is to use our authentic self, with all of it’s glory to contribute to the Divine Reflection of “WHAT IS”

There of those of us that struggle to discover the gifts we have to offer, and others that effortlessly, and altruistically submit offerings at the alter of forgiveness with nary a second thought. Mistake not though, there are those who live to shine the light of of truth that others may see themselves through the viscous haze of uncertainty

These are the prophets and ushers of discovery of whom without, many would sail aimlessly across the turbulent sea of indifference, never tasting the nectar of true Unity.

The authentic self, that place wherein we each reside with the other, could remain shrouded by the self imposed veil of ignorance, lest the way- showers nudge us toward the revelation of truth.

The true master of the way, is drawn by the contrast to illuminate the higher self by being the impetus for the removal of the cloak of denial.

As a wandering soul void of such purpose, I knew there was an obstruction hindering my growth and preventing me from seeing myself clearly in the reflecting pool of men.

Gordon Rankin plucked me from obscurity and wiped away the fog upon the mirror of my soul that I could find the genuine spirit that resided within. While our paths crossed only briefly in the larger scope of life, the mark that was left by that encounter will be the first part of me to enter the room, and the most poignant memory all those lives that I endeavor to touch will have of me. Most will never know his name, or what part he played in my Divine Comedy, but his touch, his contribution to the canvass of my world, will be prevalent non the less.

We are here to Glorify God through the contributions we make to humanity and reap the joy of our own existence by way of these undertakings.

They say give it away to keep it, love to be loved, care to be cared for and live selflessly to gain everything. This understanding was in me. There was a pile of dirt on top that Gordon saw to it I removed.Removing Fence Posts 1 LaRomana, Silver Lake, our own parish house and the very pulpit where he himself laid his own offerings, became the showers of grace that washed away my inequity til I found myself.

Never underestimate the impact we each have on one another. Do not fail to entertain strangers as you will be residing with Angels

Where Are All The Angels?    angelsLook around. Gordon sees them. They are the in the very faces of those we minister to everyday. By minister, I mean serve, love, share with, encounter and yes, even those we ignore.

As journey men we sail the sea of life. As we pass one another in the night, we need stop, ever so briefly, but stop. shipsSee God in the faces of the ships that pass, leave your mark, change the world.

Gordon did. I will forever be grateful for his contribution to my enlightenment. Know that all to whom I bring joy will also be indebted to him.

Gordon your legacy of selfless service lives on in me as well as all I encounter.

Good luck, Godspeed, and thank you.

SUNRISE

Posted on March 15, 2015 by positivelyjohn

Our lives are not created by the circumstances we confront, or the conditions we face, but by the decisions we make relative to our exposure to the world around we encounter. In essence, we control our outcomes with our point of focus and strongest belief. When we choose to believe what see ( that which has been created by others) as our own reality, so it becomes.
When we decide to focus only upon that which we desire to manifest, so too shall it be.
When we awaken to each new sunrise, we have the opportunity to create a brand new world. The choice is ours,’ the life is ours, the responsibility is ours.

SunriseEven though we believe our intents are always to create the conditions of our dreams, we unconsciously fall victim to the exposure of illusion. We see that which others have created out of frustration & fear, and unknowingly mistake it for our reality. The key to avoiding this trap and being tangled in the web of mediocrity or worse, finding ourselves trapped in the pit of despair and agony; is to view that which we are exposed to to as no more than a movie, or TV show.

The external world of form is simply fodder for entertainment and creative property. By experiencing the pain of these illusions, they should be the catalyst for our resolve to remain focused only on our bliss.

Remember,life is all About choice! We choose where will will keep our minds fixed, and that concentration becomes our point of attraction and draws unto us like conditions. THE KEY TO THE MANIFESTATION OF YOUR DEEPEST INTENTION IS TO LIVE FROM WITHIN, PAYING LITTLE ATTENTION AND OFFERING NO CREDENCE TO WHAT IS EXTERNAL

NOW IS FOREVER.

The Journey IS the Destination

THERE IS NO ONE TO BLAME. WE ARE EACH RESPONSIBLE. ONLY THE INDIVIDUAL CAN ALTER OUTCOMES.

Try Again

Posted on January 1, 2015 by positivelyjohn

When I began “blogging” a few years back, it was a cathartic release of my cranial overload, coupled with the satiation of my desire to “make a difference”. I knew I would never establish a following of any note without investing $$, but I wrote anyway. Somewhere in the deepest recesses of my mind, there was a glimmer of hope that my words may periodically fall upon eyes that need to read them.  After all, my purpose is to make a positive contribution to the well being of humanity. This, I believe if the point of life. We are all collaborating to co-create a collective experience based upon our individual perspectives and observations.  THE HUMAN MOSAIC. A DIVERSITY SOUP.images

It could be construed as hubris and/or self-righteousness  and conceit to think ones own perspective is THE perspective that will afford the most direct path to peaceful co-existence, but: if one is to offer perspective as a healing balm,  there must be a modicum of confidence in the efficacy of the position.

In an attempt to avoid adding fuel to the fiery pit of human interaction, I try to validate my philosophical offers with the following filters:

  • Will the accepting of my position cause harm?
  • Does what I have to say cause division among humanity?
  • IS there any religious or spiritual doctrines that directly refute what I offer as false?
  • Will it cost $$ for anyone to adopt the philosophy I put forth?
  • Are the perspectives I discuss only applicable to certain segments of society?

I only discuss theory that would be answered by the above 5 questions with a resounding NO!

  • Do the majority of the worlds religions say the same thing only with certian restrictions or twists?
  • Do the majority of “self-help, and personal development” programs say the same thing with only a mild variation?
  • Will the following of this advice offer personal, spiritual and inspirational improvement?
  • Can anyone do these things?
  • IS what I am discussing congruent with BOTH science ( physics) and religion?
  • Do I firmly believe what I am saying?

My second fail safe test is that all my material must answer these 6 questions with a resounding “YES”!

With all this in mind, I view what I am exposed to in the media and observe from mankind at large with relative disbelief? You see, I am no genius Guru, learned theologian,  physicist, or philosopher so what makes me think I know what the vast majority doesn’t? Again, I defer to my fail safe questions.

Being relatively tuned in to current events, a student of human nature and a malignant narcissist hell bent on saving the world, I have to admit I do not understand! I do not understand how so many, ( both rich &poor, educated and not) have life so wrong, and hold so strongly to what they believe. HOW ON EARTH CAN ANY HONEST INDIVIDUAL CONTINUE TO BEAT THE DRUM OF PRACTICES THAT WILL DIVIDE HUMANITY! It boggles my mind!

I realize there are conservatives and liberals, religious and atheist, rich & poor, and many, many races, creeds and ethnicities; but geeze, CAN’T WE TRY TO GET ALONG!

This past year has seen more division of Humanity than any other year in my memory, and I’m 56. The radical Muslim groups known as: ISIS, BOKO HARAM, AL QAEDA, and THE TALIBAN, committing atrocities in the name of GOD,  and the more recent rash of violent anti-police riots, violence, murders, looting, havoc  and urban disruptions all serve no POSITIVE end.  To add insult to absurdity, the American leadership is siding with all these disruptive elements.

To be open minded, and advocate for diversity, I agree that anyone has a right to their religious beliefs, and should be left alone to worship what ever dogma they choose! BUT THE RADICAL JIHADISTS ARE COMMITTING GENOCIDE, AND ATTEMPTING TO TAKE OVER THE WORLD. These actions will only be met with equal force and violence. NOBODY WINS!

Empty barrellLikewise, I do not advocate The Police Killing people for relatively benign crimes like selling cigarettes, or stealing cigars. However, THE MEDIA AND LEADERSHIP IS PAINTING THESE KILLINGS AS RACIALLY MOTIVATED EXECUTIONS SOLEY THE FAULT OF THE POLICE!

  • The victims were committing crimes at the time of these encounters.
  • The victims resisted police
  • The police would have done the same thing regardless of the race of the perpetrator
  • More Whites were killed by police in the last year than blacks
  • Police cannot knowing allow a suspected criminal to walk away because they are resisting; what if they go and commit another crime?
  • Looting, committing violence, burning businesses, will not change any of this, but validate to the world that the targets of such behavior are in fact ANTI-SOCIAL.

So here I sit, at my keyboard, wanting to write inspirational words that will heal; WILL ANYONE HEAR ME? WILL ANYONE CARE? THOSE THAT DO PROBABLY FALL UNDER THE “PREACHING TO THE CHOIR” HEADING.

For 2015, I will “TRY AGAIN”  to offer a healing balm, a cathartic word, and an uplifting message to any that come across my words. I will sow these seeds upon rocky soils with faith and hope that perhaps 1 will take root.

To be clear:

  • I AM A STAUNCH ADVOCATE OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY- ( WE SOW WHAT WE REAP), and as such, excessive assistance dis empowers individuals,  groups, and entire socioeconomic demographics. We all need a purpose, and must contribute to our own survival.
  • I AM A STAUNCH ADVOCATE OF : AS A MAN THINKS, SO SHALL HE BE”, Our thoughts , mindset, and perspective on life will determine the quality of our experience.
  • I AM A STAUNCH ADVOCATE OF LIVING IN “THE NOW” The past & future exists only as thought. All that is tangible is the present moment, ( that is why it is “THE PRESENT”, AS IN GIFT). Any one, thing, or situation can be reborn in the moment and start brand new! ( old acquaintances are forgotten, never borough to mind).
  • I AM A STAUNCH ADVOCATE OF THE PHILOSOPHY THAT ALL THINGS ARE 1 THING. All that we know to be real is connected at the level of Spirit as well as the level of MATTER.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, WITH HOPE AND FAITH FOR THE UNITY OF ALL THAT IS IN THE COMING YEAR!

Empty Barrels,,,,,,

Posted on September 21, 2014 by positivelyjohn

Life is most certainly filled with “up’s & downs”, peaks and valley’s. good days, and,,,not so good days! This is to be expected. When one had made a commitment though, you would think those fluctuations would be minimal.

NOT SO MUCH!

As a young person, raised in a Christian environment, there was always an emphasis on ‘THE DEVIL” when one strayed from the path of righteousness, or was even tempted to, it was THE DEVIL pulling at them.devil

As I grew up and evolved, my philosophies changed and matures and my perspective became more focused. I became aware that we each control the state of our mind. That is not to say our thoughts are not influenced by forces outside of us, because the definitely are. Even though we have absolute control where to focus our mind, and in many cases draw unto ourselves the conditions that resonate with most acutely, the topics and perspectives we  have to choose from come from our exposure to external stimuli.

These days; with the advent of micro-electronics and the introduction of digital communications, we are bombarded with  an amount of external stimuli in one day that would have taken entire lifetimes in generations past. Unfortunately, the majority of what comes at us is not nurturing, be destructive.

I encourage everyone to make use of the broad array of information at their disposal, but it has been said, with great knowledge, comes great responsibility. If we allow those that try the hardest, shout the loudest and spend the most at getting their messages to us, we will compromise out integrity and fall victim to the lure of the ignorant.

IN SHORT- THE DEVIL WILL GET US!

Technology is fantastic, information is knowledge, and communication is unifying. However, we must be ever vigilant to closely discern the messages we read and be disciplined enough to bypass that which does not serve out highest good. We all still have choice.

“As a man thinks, so shall he be”. “THEY”  ( The Devil) are trying to pull us in with this tool of higher achievement. On the individual can control what is allowed to influence him or her.

We are each accountable for our thoughts and actions. Every thought leads to action, which in turn adds to the mosaic of life. In order to only contribute life affirming creations, we must control what we are exposed to.

The empty barrel makes the most noise. Focus on small quiet voices. Take control of your mind.Empty barrell

NEW year, new world!

DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT!

Image

            I love to ride my motorcycle. When I am riding I feel freedom and potential more than any other time.  I find the most inspiration while on the road. That is why I love to write this article. Much of the philosophy of “open road freedom” applies to daily life. Most “regular folk” ( those that do not ride, or drive hot rods) never realize the connection between blissful living and the road.  That is why I am here; TO SHOW YA’ALL!

Riding is contemplative and cathartic while also invigorating and exiting. You get the best of both worlds. On one hand, I can zone out into a Zen-like state, but on the other, I need to be keenly aware of EVERYTHING!.Somehow, that is possible on my bike.

While riding has all these beneficial components, the dangers, challenges, pitfalls and drawbacks are exponentially more prevalent than anywhere else. I regularly encounter; potholes, objects, stopped traffic, people that don’t see me, construction, puddles, sharp turns, dirt and sand, wet leaves, road-killImage and a host of other issues that could ruin my day, damage my bike, or take my life. These are not good things. I never ride without encountering at least a few. Yet; the minute I navigate through them, I put them out of my mind. They are gone as quickly as they came. The ride goes on, life is good!

Today is January 4th 2014. We are at the beginning of a new year. As POSITIVE as my attitude usually is (being the Positively Speaking author and all) I must admit, 2013 was ripe with challenges. From the Federal Government, to local and state government, news media, celebrity melt-downs, declining economy and new health care regulations with their commensurate costs, all the way to local groups, bike clubs, churches and even my family, there has been countless situations that are not aligned with what I believe to be my highest good. For most, the dividing line between 2013, and 2014 will mean little when it comes to these conditions. All of the negative possibilities I just listed will ruminate in the mind of the masses and grow to epic proportions. Most will allow the challenges they have navigated through to remain with them, destroying each and every minute of every day in 2014. I would equate that to safely swerving around a dead raccoon, then going back and doing it again, and again. No one that rides would ever do that! Be like a biker and let it go.

Every day is a chance to start over. We have the choice where to put our focus. That which we concentrate on is what will control us. If we CHOOSE, to experience the same obstacles again and again, we will have the same pain repeat itself. Everyone should apply the law of the road to everyday circumstance. That Law is: WHEN YOU PASS IT, IT’S GONE!  Enjoy the ride. I say, let’s all close the door on 2013, look ahead at the open road and make the best of it. It’s 2014, A NEW DAY, A NEW YEAR, A NEW START. POSITIVELY SPEAKING; TAKE THE EXIT FROM 2013 AND DON’T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT.

Fuggedahbout it!

Posted on November 27, 2013 by positivelyjohn
To forgive is to set a prisoner free and discover that the prisoner was you.”
 Lewis B. Smedes

 

There are a million reasons to be angry these days. Just open the newspaper and you will find all the ammunition you need to label yourself the victim. Every day we end up paying more than we think we should for the things we need because of those big companies making big profits. We are always inconvenienced by some stupid rule or regulation that was designed to cause us grief. imagesSomeone, somewhere during day will cut us off in traffic, jump ahead of us in line, close a door in our face, or take the last good batch of grapes on the produce counter. Enough to push you over the edge, doncha’ think? Then there is always the more personal betrayal by a friend or family member, deceitful boss or coworker, and maybe even the thug that stole your wallet! Man! How’s a guy supposed live around here?

Forgiveness is one of the major components of Christianity. But have we ever stopped to wonder… why? Most of us probably think,” because that is what Jesus taught”, or, “because it’s the right thing to do!” Still some may figure it is compassion for the target of our wrath.

Well, I don’t think it is any of the above! Forgiveness is freedom. Forgiveness is about allowing ourselves to live without giving away peace of mind to strangers that do not know you gave it to them. Forgiveness is happiness itself. Jesus taught us to turn the other cheek. Jesus also taught us to; “Judge not lest ye be judged” which is where the divine truth of forgiveness is born.download

 

God created human kind in order to experience the unlimited diversity of “being” that results from countless choices between relative conditions. We, (and ultimately God) appreciated calm, in contrast of chaos. We enjoy being respected, contrary to being disrespected, and so on. All things that occur, give meaning to the contrasting condition, and therefore are all components of our journey toward inner peace. When we judge actions or conditions as “BAD” and determine that they were unjustly directed toward us, we end up in a state of resentment that prevents any measure of peace from existing in our hearts. Ninety nine percent of the time, the target of our despair has no idea about, or at least is unaffected by, our state of mind. We become victims of our own judgment. This is what is meant by; “Judge not lest ye be judged” That lesson does not warn us to refrain from action as others will take similar action in return. It means we are literally “spitting into the wind”, and it will land right in our own face.

If we can find our way to place where we can understand that all that “is”, simply is, and accept it as a component of our journey toward Grace, we can refuse to allow prevailing conditions to rob us of the present moment joy. If we forget about the actions and situations that we initially “Judge” as unacceptable, and just notice them, then (Fuggedah Bout It) we will find that there is much less anger and resentment in our hearts. POSITIVELY SPEAKING, “fuggedah bout it” is great advice.

The only way to fly!

Posted on October 19, 2013 by positivelyjohn

I have written many pieces related to the unending thirst we humans have for “more”.As an advocate of going after your dreams, I fully believe that our desire is the seed of life. The unquenchable thirst for “more” is what drives the expansion of The Universe, and is by Divine Design, our destiny.

As I have relentlessly stated, all human desire is born from fear, and rooted in the erroneous belief in separation. We continue to seek the fulfillment of desire as the panacea for our illusory sense of self. Recently I have been focused upon chasing our bliss with careful consideration to avoid compromising the Present Moment, and remaining independent of outcome. These assertions are all integral to the message of aspiring to Realize Oneness.

As Spiritual beings having a temporary, localized, pit-stop in form and substance, we are actually attempting to connect to Source. Every desire is an illusory expectation that the realization of such will offer fulfillment. We quickly find that , (not much different than eating Chinese food) our repast did not satisfy as anticipated. Thus our quest resumes.images

While this erroneous quest to fulfill desire is like chasing our own tail, it is paramount to the survival of the physical species and the unfolding of God In Form. This is the projection of Divine In-Formation. The original and most beautiful form of communication.

The only issue derived from chasing our illusion is that we never really grow from it. In the Christian Bible, Jesus made a host of proclamations explaining 
 the meaning of physical life and what to expect as well as how to proceed. Many of us fail to pay any heed to when we were told ” Seek Ye FIRST the Kingdom of God and all these things will be added unto you”

This being said, the quickest path to Joy and Grace is to chase the understanding of our relationship to our Higher Self. The acquisition of material, financial, and images (1)emotional satisfaction does little to sustain real peace and joy, and may even be the catalyst for frustration and pain, regardless of level of achievement.

I tell you this:

By loosening our investment in the world of form and substance, and allowing images (2)ourselves to participate as THE OBSERVER WE ARE, we experience less stress and turmoil in our lives.

The discovery of our TRUE IDENTITY as ONE SPIRITUAL AWARENESS, the story of life unfolds with much more ease and GRACE.

By denying our infinite reality, and being strongly rooted in the illusion of separation, we become dependent upon the dram from our encounters and give our emotions control of our destiny. Thus the ride of fear and pain begins.

The most proven way to reach our “real” selves is through silence. When we block out all the man -made rhetoric and distraction, and focus on the core of our being, we have the opportunity to transcend the bondage of our own creation and embrace the freedom and expanse of the “Oneness of Being”.

The Realization of ONENESS is the “ah ha” moment when we discover we are NOT our bodies, mind, or accomplishments, but THE ONE who is using this body/mind.

Infinite existence beyond form is where we all are the same.

The belief that we will find joy by filling our lives with “things, power, status, sex, self importance, and indulgence” is the root cause to all the ills of this world. Joy cannot be found, only realized!

Searching for Happiness causes grief, realizing happiness eliminates it
Get out of your own way and allow Divinity to flow through you.

BE STILL AND KNOW THAT I AM GOD!

I Am!

The Success Paradigm

Posted on September 22, 2013 by positivelyjohn

How do you define success?images (2)
Does it require sacrifice? It shouldn’t.
Does it require compromise? It shouldn’t
Does it require struggle, stress, and pain? It shouldn’t!

So many of us believe that society demands we accomplish tasks of great importance, reach status of incredible heights, or acquire wealth worthy of a dynasty just to be considered “Successful”  The optimum word here is “Considered”

Are we trying to please others?

Are we gauging success by someone else’ yardstick?

Are we struggling for a goal only to keep up “Appearances”?

Success should never be married to an ” Outcome at any cost”.
Success is measured by the quality of the life we are experiencing in the present moment. If you compromise your entire life to reach a pinnacle moment, you have not lived life, but have been a slave to appearance.
Too many of us are reaching for a goal that will define us. We mortgage our present moment for the hope of an OUTCOME. After many years of struggle, sacrifice, stress and compromise, we finally reach the summit of our intentions, only to find they have robbed us of our life. Goals & Dreams are wonderful for defining direction, but vicious task masters if our peace of mind is contingent upon them.
Never put your life on the roulette wheel of outcome, you will be paying with much too much. Lifetimes have been lost in pursuit of dreams, that when achieved, diminish in value exponentially Diminish in value.

Happiness and peace, ARE the earmarks of success.
Struggle and sacrifice are the pictures of a slave.

Success is measured by the quality of life. Goals & Dreams are wonderful for defining direction, but vicious task masters if our peace of mind is contingent upon them.

Happiness IS Success.

The successful person knows where he is going, but s right where he wants to be in the moment. Happiness and peace, ARE the earmarks of success. Struggle and sacrifice are the pictures of a slave. Have you been tied to an outcome haven given up everything in the present for the chance of a few minutes in the lime light?

Never put your life on the roulette wheel of outcome, you will be paying with much too much. Lifetimes have been lost in pursuit of dreams, that when achieved, diminish in value exponentially.

Have you eye on a goal, but live for today!

Success is being able to lay down at night having enjoyed the day.
Success is largely misinterpreted as the completion of a task regardless the cost.

We gain nothing if there is a cost attached. We only trade sweat for the ability to claim “I Made it”

Examine what you are reaching for and weigh the cost. Any business images (1)transaction is only successful when more is gained than is lost. Does that sound like the journey you are on?
Slavery was abolished in the US a long time ago! Let yourself free. The shackles that bind you to the grief you are experiencing are only locked with the key that is in your pocket. Quick, while no one is looking, unlock those chains. It is OK!

Smell the flowers today and you are success.

What have you lost in the name of success?

Rethink your choices.
Live
Laugh
Love

Oh say can you SEE!

Posted on September 14, 2013 by positivelyjohn

We all have the “Knowledge of the Ages’ locked inside. When we decide to travel the path of Enlightenment, there is nothing to learn. We need only “Uncover” that which we have buried. Then one day, there will be a teacher. One that will help pull back the shroud of illusion and reveal the true self. That teacher will be you. ..
All at once a realization will overcome you,,,,a true sense of KNOWING that God, man, inner-space, outer space, the physical world, dreams as well as every possible experience or encounter are not separate events, but all integrally linked components of ONE Experience.

1
You will find that what we encounter and what we imagine are part of the same evolutionary process. The epiphany of Everything will bring peace and a sense of ease. Urgency will dissipate as patience and reverence for all life emerges. The incessant NEED for so much, so frequently will mellow to an acceptance while the dichotomy of life 2ushers in the response to your every desire with little or no effort.
As the fear drains from your soul, thoughts of well being will flush your senses and physical healing will begin. Your root desires will transform from “what is in this for me” to “HOW MAY I BEST SERVE THE COMMON GOOD”.
Again, the Universe acting in contradictory ways you will find, every selfless act you extend, will return joy, peace and abundance unto you.
You may be asking what is the catalyst for such a magnificent awakening?
LOVE, LOVE IS ALL YOU NEED!

Once you view ALL THAT IS, from the Real EYES of Spiritual, unconditional LOVE, the entire cycle of life will appear before you in brilliant form, exposing it’s true nature.
LIFE IS LOVE UNFOLDING IN FORM.
LOVE IS GODS ATTRACTING ENERGY.
GOD IS LIFE
LIFE IS GOD
ALL INEXTRICABLY LINKED, INSEPARABLE.

What we see through the lens of the individuate self is filtered by the illusion of separation, riddled with fear, and misconceptions.
Only seeing with the Real EYES of Spiritual love can we experience the JOY OF BEING.

Why is it like this?

Posted on September 7, 2013 by positivelyjohn

Many of us look around and are disgusted with what we see. We often wonder how the world got to be like this. Then we look for reasons, rationals, and attempt to blame. Whether we are lamenting the state of the world, or simply whining about our finances or health, it is natural to look outside and point a finger. The images (2)problem is, it was not “them”. It is “US” individually, and collectively. What you see around you is nothing more than the reflection of what you harbor in your heart. Your physical life experience is the projection of your inner most convictions about life. If you do not like what you see, turn within to change it!

WE are not “drawn in” to the world we experience, as a VICTIM! The dance we are confronted with is born out of the song in our head.images

“My inner most convictions and most frequent point of focus will show me what is simmering in my “cauldron of creation”.

Unbelievably, the vast majority of humanity is unaware of a simple fact that can change their life in an instant: WE HAVE CHOICE!

What you see does not have to be what you get. You CAN create your own world by controlling your thoughts. Choose only POSITIVE thoughts that are beneficial to ALL and you will be contributing to the well being of the world.

Our lives can be fashioned by the input we receive form “out there” which would be living by default, or by  the knowledge we have within ourselves which would be living from intention.  images (1)The choice is yours as to where to put your focus. Whether we wish to admit it or not; what we are experiencing was created, attracted and summoned by our own minds.
WE ONLY GET WHAT WE ASK FOR!

Stay focused on ideas of love, peace, harmony & joy, and that is what you will see in your life.images (3)

We have all been created to: “CREATE”. Humanity is Divine Expression “in form” ( LIFE IN-FORMATION).

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence. … ~Albert Einstein ~

So many of us ask: “What is the meaning/purpose of Life?” This is a simple answer  albeit complex. The short version is that Humanity is the physical conduit through Which Divinity expresses and experiences ITSELF in all its glory and possibility. We are the leading edge “form factories” of GOD.

WE ARE GOD, REPLICATED AND FASHIONED INTO FORM, SUFFERING FROM THE ILLUSION OF SEPARATION, IN DENIAL OF OUR UNLIMITED ABILITY. OUR DESIRE IS BORN FROM THE PAIN OF OUR ILLUSION, AND OUR NEED TO BE RE-CONNECTED TO OUR SOURCE.

Every action we take is an attempt to fulfill our desire to be be ONE! There is no real path back to ONENESS as our separation is an ILLUSION. As we scurry about in all our glorified confusion, the end result of our actions is unlimited diversity of experience.

THIS DANCE HAS BEEN DESIGNED TO ALLOW FOR EXPERIENCE TO UNFOLD AD-INFINITUM! NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE!

The limits we experience are all self-imposed and passed on from generation to generation. We are GOD-IN-FORM and capable of much more that we ever will imagine.

“You’ll see it when you believe it”~ Wayne Dyer~

Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you too can become great.~ Mark Twain

 Those desires we entertain and fail to experience are only due to our belief in those that say it can’t be done. Humanity has shattered “Impossible” too many times to count. Believe in your dream

 

The Journey IS the Destination

Namaste`
