Begin the day by taking a few deep breaths, for there is no better way to get grounded, to open the airways and to invite the heart to be present throughout the day. Invite your heart-centered self to sit more firmly within you today. Allow that part of you to be more present in the ways that your thinking mind is usually present. When you have something to ponder, a decision to make, ask your heart to weigh in. Its response will be different from the logical, rational mind’s response. It may surprise you, if you are not usually heart-centered and heart-connected, to hear its wise answer. Give it more opportunities, as the day progresses, to be a greater part of everything you encounter today, people, situations, conflicts and anything else that might need a different perspective. For the perspective of the heart is deep and wise.
Behave as if everything is hunky-dory. Behave as if you have achieved your goals. Behave as if your life is as perfect as you desire it to be. Behave as if your wishes have been granted. But don’t stop there! Keep going to your next big adventure, your next big vision, your next big wish. Keep your dream alive and well and constantly transforming. That is how to live a good and productive life.
Charge your energy each day with positive mantras of love and gratitude so that your central nervous system is primed to step into the day, so you can show up in the best way possible for yourself, and others as well. Even if you don’t see another person today, you can still show up for others in your thoughts, your words, your visions and your intentions. Be a good companion to all beings by being companionable within yourself. And keep in mind that all deeds, good and bad, are leading toward the next phase of life. Challenging though they may be, they are necessary.
Matter comes from the Latin word materia, which means the physical substance that is born of mater, who is mother. Our physical body, our physical lives, and the life of our times is the creation of the father-of-suggestion in union with mother, the material substance of the subconscious mind.
Mother brings forth all physical life. The state of that life reflects the quality of the suggestions it has been impregnated with; are they of wisdom or are they of error? Wisdom is infused with impartial truth, error is filled with one-sided opinion.
Our current world is largely defined by the instant reactions of social media, from the White House on down, where the play and battle of opposites vie for dominance of public opinion, which serves as the ruling suggestions to the matter of our time.
Prior generations have struggled to establish union in response to this volatile battle of opposite opinions, often resorting to suppression, or to passing on to the future the insolvency of unrealized truth.
The founding fathers of America knew very well that slavery was immoral, but did not address it in the Constitution, forcing the future America, some 75 years later, into Civil War to resolve the issue. And though the outcome of that war ended slavery, the North and the South never came into real union.
The discontent over this imposed solution was suppressed and housed in the body of America, giving rise to a diseased nation, at war with itself, once again seeking solution in one-sided rule. Such is the karma of unsettled solutions, yet to be resolved into the peace of true Wisdom.
These unsolved issues—be they the equality of the sexes and races, an equitable outcome of Zionism, the divine might-makes-right of kings in imperialist acquisition, or the racist intent of Naziism that seeks its alchemical gold through the destruction of its projected shadow—have all broken through from the body of the world’s suppressed unconscious, once again begging completion, as we prepare to receive the advanced wisdom of the Aquarian age we are now physically living in.
The stupendous overarching truth of now is that human consciousness is on the cusp of a major evolutionary leap that requires a clearing of all the errors and opinions that have formed the ruling suggestions to our subconscious minds, and created our current reality. Take for instance the power of suggestion itself. Once an individual awakens to their personal power to create their physical life, the sky is the limit.
Donald Trump, a master hypnotist, astutely aware of the power of suggestion, recently offered this guidance when asked about the limits on his own global power: “Yeah, there is one thing. My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me.”
This is indeed a fundamental truth for everyone in relation to their subconscious mind. The suggestions to the subconscious mind are all powerful. Mother subconscious will produce in matter that which is suggested to her. The question, as Donald Trump points out, is the state of one’s morality. Is it based on the wisdom of truth, or the error of opinion? Either way, those suggestions will be manifested.
The unsolved matters of prior times, currently living through us, cannot find peace until we face them squarely and submit to the truth of Wisdom. We cannot revert to old defenses or old beliefs. These unsolved matters demand truthful resolution before we can evolve.
Resolution requires that we suspend the judgment of blame. Full acceptance, of what was and what is, is the precursor to a morality that will produce suggestions to materialize our creative potential for the greater good of all.
Inwardly, we must face the isms that have ruled our sense of self and our sense of the world. Inwardly, we must ask: Is our morality narcissistically dominated by the desire of ego for its own aggrandizement, or is it serving the wisdom of what is truly right? Inwardly, we must free our beliefs from internalized false opinions about ourselves based upon the thoughts and actions of others.
I close with this matter, the guidance and support of Lady Wisdom from Proverbs 3:16-18:
“Long life is in her right hand; in her left hand are riches and honor.
Her ways are ways of pleasantness and all her paths are peace. She is a tree of life to them that lay hold upon her: and happy is every one that retaineth her.”
It’s another day in the paradise that is your life. We stress that gratitude and thanks become a part of every day of your life. Start with saying something that you are grateful for as soon as you wake up in the morning, say what immediately comes to mind. What are you thankful for today, in this moment? Notice how often you say the same things, and notice how often you find yourself being grateful for simple things. Life doesn’t have to be so complicated. It’s the simple things that make it so delightful. Simple gratitudes enhance the paradise that is your life, like nothing else.
