Captured Moments

As we grow, mature and develop, we have human experiences that hurt us and/or harm us on some levels and layers, effecting and impacting, who we are. Maybe they are slight offenses between two people, major betrayals of trust by those we love or an ongoing sense of being rejected, unwanted or completely dismissed and left out.  Perhaps they affect us physically, emotionally, psychologically, mentally or intellectually.  In any case, we can hold in the actual feeling of what happened to us for fear it will happen again or might always happen.  After years of holding in the pain, confusion, resulting anger, even to the point of self-hate, we can forget it is even there. We can effectively and efficiently, hide our self from our self. Until or unless, we have it revealed to our self by our self or someone else says or does something to trigger it.  Then that old stuck stuff can begin to pulsate into an angry response, enough to torch a small town!  Why has this hap...

Aspiration is the great inner call to know the truth.  When we truly aspire to know and grow beyond what we know is true, the Great Cosmic Soul responds. When we aspire to know the Love within our own heart and soul, the Infinite Love responds.  It is like a great echo going out to find itself and respond in kind.   If we imagine a great Cosmic Being that wants to awakening those with enough courage to listen, how would it respond, why would it respond and how would we be certain? We would realize we aren't alone.  We would feel our hearts fill with such LOVE, JOY and PRESENCE, literally lifting our energy higher.  Forgiving the past and all people would be effortless, seeing the common good in us all would be refreshing, the higher and higher energies of expanded intelligence would be easily accessed and best of all, we would remember who we are! We would remember we are never truly separate from this beautiful LOVING FORCE within us.  We would remem...

When we grow and develop within the confines of family, we are taught and shown who we are and who we are not.  Part of the job of our parents is to teach us boundaries so we can control our selves and behave in acceptable ways.  To fit in socially, behaviorally and with self confidence.  Consequently, we can succeed as we continue our growth and development through all the ages and stages.  It is a workable system, except if our parents are limited in the scope of their own development.  In that case, they can only teach us, show us and demonstrate those same limitations. In other words, if they are 'knotted' up, unable to express emotions, unable to express affection or unable to show love, tenderness or compassion to us, we might 'knot' realize we are still able to love and be loved.  We can unconsciously, subconsciously develop those same knots and consequently, become closed down too. Maybe we can't forgive ourselves, maybe we limit the rest of our...

When we understand that our emotional self is like a clear pond, filled with joyful, happy life energy that can become tainted, convoluted or polluted as we grow and develop, then we can also realize that we can empty it, clean it and cleanse it any time we want or need to.  We can flush it clear again and restore it with fun, wonderful, delightful, exciting new energy.  We do not need to hold onto any and all old, stagnant energy that has been hurtful or harmful throughout our lifetime.   Where do we get this fresh, new, transforming energy?  By recognizing who we are and remembering our True Self and our True Substance.  We are not separate from the Infinite Being of Pure Love and Pure Energy.  We can use and draw down this Higher Love and use it as a hose to fill our empty, cleaned out pond with fresh new, positive energy at any time we feel out of balance. Imagine you are standing outside, staring down into your inner emotional pond. What you see in...

Our human systems may hold onto age old problems, age old memories and age old stuck places but no matter what, we are not human toxicity.  We are far more than that and in our highest Heart, we know that LOVE is the Highest attainment we can all achieve.  Why is Love the Highest?  Because LOVE is the real deal of all of life.  Our Highest imagination can picture an Infinite Being of Pure Love and Pure Energy, radiant with a LOVE so grand, it dulls everything else in it's shadow and transforms everything possible.  The Cosmic and Universal LOVE is within our own very HEART of HEARTS and it is this LOVE that brought us all into BEING.  We are truly all BEINGS of LOVE and LIGHT. As we go through our human life experience, we must see our bodies, minds and outer coatings as costumes we are wearing in the 'play of life'.  Whatever we chose to be, carry, vibrate towards or resonate with in this life, including our sex, our family, our children our our loc...

When we know who we are because we have lived out who we are not and we seek a deeper truth, the link between the inner sense of self and the outer sense of self is through our true positive self-esteem.  So true a positive self-esteem that no one and no thing can possibly penetrate it.  It comes from an inner 'knowing' that enables our more truthful self to be who we are because that is who we are!  That sense of not Being separate from the bigger picture and consequently, we know we are truly connected. Imagine it like you have swallowed the sun and it is glowing in your belly.  It contains the sun itself and no one or no thing can pop it or deflate it because it is yours; inside and outside.  It is your own spark of sunlight that glows as you glow and it's shine is always yours, no matter what! When we can welcome in, invite in and allow in this level of Light through Self-Love and Self Acceptance, there is no one or no thing that can distract from the po...

If forgiveness and gratitude are two powerful ways to begin the healing process and connect deeper to the Highest Love we are capable of receiving and experiencing within us, then it stands to reason the result will be positive thoughts, positive feelings and positive action in every day life.  The current moment is where our value actually lies.  Our Joy can be present with us when we are in a positive state of thoughts, feelings and actions. Obtaining this state takes mindfulness and determination, along with awareness of where our Consciousness is at all times.  Our greatest Consciousness is inherently positive because our True Connection and Unity to the Great Cosmic Soul only vibrates to the Highest Most Positive Energy there is; UNION WITH THE INFINITE BEING OF PURE LOVE AND PURE ENERGY!  There is nothing Higher than knowing who we are in that fuller context.  Joy is the result. Negative thoughts, feelings and actions are primarily the ego and the disa...
