Captured Moments

on taking your negatives and turning them around."  Summer Redstone Negative thinking and feeling is often based on the past.  When we become conscious of the present now being the truth of our present time and self, we can change any negative thoughts and feelings into positive ones, thereby changing our whole vibration.  Positive thoughts and feelings are changed through forgiveness, gratitude, appreciation and uplifting expression.  Understanding that all of life is just vibration of energy, we are so much more able to shift and change our perceptions, too, to match a higher and clearer perspective.  

beyond darkness.  It is knowledge, the object of knowledge and the process of knowing.  It is seated in the hearts of all beings."  Bhagavad Gita There is great inner knowledge within us all.  There is a great SOURCE of life and Love within our own heart.  It tells us the truth of who we are and it shows us the light that we are in truth.  When we aspire to know and understand this Light and Love, it begins to reveal itself to us. To know this inner truth, fills us with Peace, Grace and a surrendered Love.  Peace dwells in the Heart of us all.

pull you into their storm.  Pull them into your peace."  Author Unknown - Facebook Our raw emotions can feel like an inner storm, churning with upheaval and stirring us into an expression of wildly justifeble behavior. When we are worked up by our reactivity and righteousness , we can turn to others to support our opinions, our stand and our belief system.  The greater approach is seeking peace within our self and reflecting that balance back to others by remaining calm, compassionate and understanding.  Our human system can be unrefined and refined with the ways of Love and peace.   Being peaceful is a natural human state when we can quiet the mind.

seeking fulfillment and happiness.  Just because they're not on your road doesn't mean they've gotten lost."  Dalai Lama Judging others because they are not like us is not only harmful to them, it is also harmful to us.  Seeing life as ultimately one golden interconnected, vast vibration, it becomes more clear that what we send out effects where and who we send it to.  If we have negative thoughts and feelings about others, a useful technique is to look in the mirror.  When we can see where it is in us internally, we can heal that within ourselves by releasing it through Love, understanding and compassion. Discerning positive and negative energy for ourselves is a useful practice for our safety and well being yet being judgmental is not a positive practice.  As we change, so changes the world. 

. . . you can only love them".  Anais Nim When we Love other people, their spirit and heart is uplifted.  By Loving others, heartfelt inspiration, healing energy, care, compassion and positive thinking are energetically sent to them already.  Their karma, their path, their health and well being is ultimately in the hands of a higher power and the timing associated with their life is for a higher purpose.  We can pray, speak and act lovingly and hope for the very best outcome, yet it isn't us who will save the person.  Loving people is ultimately what we can do and we can do it well.  Love is a giving force that resonates with even more Love.

in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other."  Desiderius Erasmus Creating peace is done through peaceful, purposeful action.  To create a peaceful human system takes self forgiveness, self Love and compassion for one self and a deep gratitude for life.  In that way, we let go and Let Love guide our way.  Once we feel the inner Love becoming who we truly are, it is easier to Love our environment, each other, all our relations, the world and life as we become conscious of our true nature once again.  Peaceful truth becomes our true vibration, clarity and way of Being in the world.

pleasures.  They are the last refuge of the complex."  Oscar Wilde When life becomes too complex, simple joys can bring us back to the force of Love, spontaneity and an open heart.  The joy of noticing one last fall leaf clinging to the branch before the next breeze comes, soap bubbles arising around us as we do the dishes, echoes of rain coming in before it is actually outside and the magic of a child's sudden burst of happiness as he throws cereal in the air.  When we open to life's delightful magic, we remember laughing and playing is an essential part of a healthy and happy life.

in breaking the enemy's resistance without fighting."  Lao Tzu - "The Art of War" To understand and offset a negative attack or onslaught through other human faculties is a gift worth developing, nurturing and utilizing in the name of evolution and peace.  Fear manifests as a need to control or to be controlling and fear is often expressed as anger, which creates and generates more negativity.  Love as a Cosmic and universal force for positive change is an intelligence that manifests as a compassionate, understanding and peaceful balance.  Truth understood and spoken clearly can also offset the fear that ushers in negative attacks.  Love, Truth and positive energy are also healing modalities that enhance and transform us all and the world around us.

living life in  peace.  You may say that I'm a dreamer, but I'm not the only one.  I hope someday you'll join us and the world will be as one."  John Lennon Imagine a world of peaceful and loving human beings embracing Compassion, Truth and Love because that is their True Feeling and True Nature.  It may look like a dream now but before there can be reality, there must first be a dream!   Going on the Cosmic and Universal forces of Love, Light and Truth, we are not separate from, peace is possible because it is already in the Pure Consciousness of who we truly are within.  Open your heart and allow the Pure Feeling of peace to become who you are now.  As they say, when you change yourself and you change the world.

are sure to conquer."  The Mother - "White Roses" Truth and Love are Cosmic and Universal principles.  They are forces in the world and also in all of us.  Pure consciousness is also a force in the world.  Becoming consciously aware of who we really are means having access to the Cosmic and Universal principles.  The vibration of Truth and Love lift our energy to higher and higher realms of our own Self, inspiring us to go beyond what may be standing in our way.  When we resonate with Love and Truth, our whole life becomes a much healthier, happier and we experience a greater sense of wholeness.

every day so you keep lifting higher.  Let no thing stop you from this endeavor, for it is more important than any other activity."  John Roger Spiritual Love is a Pure Love that allows us to remember the higher perspective of life, ourselves and Love as a universal force.   It keeps us humble, strong, forgiving, gentle, peaceful and in the law of allowing.  Spiritual Love keeps us open to the Pure Fluidity of life, which allows us to move through our life in a state of trust:  trusting ourselves, our lives and the process of life itself.  Spiritual Love inspires us in each and every moment!

who you are, that you tower over your circumstances.  You are a child of God.  Stand up straight."  Maya Angelou  If we were to say "YES" to God's perspective of us, we would immediately stand tall in that true understanding.  How can we be separate from the Highest expression and Pure Feeling of Love?  We are not separate so yes, standing tall and straight is saying "YES" to the truth of who we really are! When we shine back from our Heart of Hearts, we are enabled and empowered to be bigger than our circumstances, no matter the challenge.  Keep saying YES and stand up straight.

. . . will not be heard or welcomed.  But when we are silent, we are still afraid.  So it is better to speak."  Audre Lorde To "give voice to a choice" that serves our heart and the hearts of others through compassion, understanding and joy, is to express from a place of True Feeling.  A place within us that knows the truth and truth is what sets us free.  A True Feeling is what lives in our Heart of Hearts and it is broader in scope that just one human voice.  In the higher perspective, Love is the force that guides the Cosmos, the Universe, the Wider World and Humanity.  When we speak from our highest Heart expression, we touch on a truth that deeply affects and touches us all.

. . . are cruel.  Gentleness can only be expected from the strong."  Leo Buscaglia When you know your own heart, you know compassion, gentleness and joy.  Cruelty is not able to function when the heart is open, loving and kind.  The energy we live with is the energy we attract.  When we actively, consciously choose to make it Love, more Love is drawn to us.  What we resonate, resonates right back.

" . . . the true meaning of one who can bring someone again to the remembrance of their true nature."  Dhyani Y Wahoo How easy it is to forget our true nature.  Our lives are full with too much to accomplish, do and complete that distract and attract us.  Given the busyness of our mind, the stirring of emotion, the connection to families and relationships along with the need to express and communicate, taking the time to actively remember the value of silence, contemplation, meditation and the presence of pure Being, can become a lost practice.  When we encounter a person who reminds us of who we really are, we can become whole again, remembering we are never really separate.

. . . and quiet, even in the midst of difficulties.  This is the way to overcome all obstacles."  The Mother - "Rays of Light" In the silence of peace, all answers come to us.  In the stillness of time, we can hear the profound wisdom in our hearts and receive guidance and intuition that allows us to take positive action.  Being calm allows our system to not be over-reactive and respond to fear.  Remaining calm, quiet and peaceful gives us a perspective of truth.

. . . and go to the wildness of your intuition.  What you will discover will be wonderful.  What you will discover will be yourself."  Alan Alda The mystics say there is just one True Self and the True Self is within us all.  The True Self is the one who knows the truth within us.  The truth about who we are.  Our intuition is the voice within us that helps us connect to our True Self.  The truth about who we are is in the Heart.
