Keep the word gratitude uppermost in your mind. At dawn’s awakening call it forth and recall all that you have gratitude for. At noon’s high sun ask again to remember where gratitude has a place in your life. At day’s end pull up once again the pictures of gratitude in your mind’s eye. And finally, as you rest your head upon your pillow express once again the gratitude for a beautiful day lived and another to come. With gratitude, begin each day with a skip in your step and eagerness in your heart, for how can you not have gratitude for the simplest and most wonderfully satisfying of things, for life itself!
Find your sweet spot, your place of perfect inner balance where your mind is calm, your body is calm and your heart is open. Let the calmness within you guide you to experience the world in a new way, as calm and open as you feel, as heart centered as you are. Resonance with the world around you brings you into alignment with nature and with the present moment so that all else disappears and all that matters is the now of it all, the simple solitary now. Hold onto that moment for as long as possible and remind yourself to replay it in body, mind and heart often throughout the day. Reconnect to the now of it all and re-experience peace, calmness and nature as it truly is, in each quiet moment, as it comes.
Each day there is the opportunity for something great to occur. The potential is especially high during certain phases of each month, the full moon, the new moon, though every day does offer equal opportunity for greatness. Let the day be as special as any day should be and keep attuned to opportunities as they arise, such as the opportunity to be more fully present, to say something nice, to do something differently, to act compassionately. Every day you have such opportunities, but be extra alert today because today may just be the day you have an extraordinary opportunity. See what happens.
Let not the vicissitudes of life get in the way of your spiritual growth. The inner path, the path of direct heart centered growth, is the path of the spirit, the part of you that does not judge or condemn but only focuses on going where it knows to go, onward and upward. Know that your spirit does not grow sad, does not falter, does not grow weary. It is patient as it waits for you to remember its existence, as it waits for you to catch up to its urgings, and as it waits for you to follow its path. The path of spirit is the evolutionary path of true growth in any life. Find that path and you have found your purpose.
We live now in an age of extraverted influence where the mind is preoccupied with the narratives, messages and suggestions of outside influencers.
The energy that sustains these entities is largely drawn from the mental and emotional attention we supply them with, in our reactions to power dynamics exercised by the various players. It’s like a sport, where we identify with, and root for, our chosen team. The subtle energy of emotion powerfully shapes the creative outlet of its manifestation in physical reality.
My recent blogs have focused upon the power of self-hypnosis to generate change on the physical level of reality. The conscious exercise of autosuggestion allows one to assume personal responsibility for the creation of one’s own purely physical reality.
While it is true that outside influencers have infiltrated and saturated the news, social media, and atmospheric thought space with their intentions, everyone is free to think beyond these outer scripts and suggest to the subconscious a reality in harmony with their own personal intentions.
Predetermination must be accepted as a probability among all the permutations of all that is. Perhaps the interplay of formerly repressed historical autocratic forces, now unleashed throughout the globe, is so great that we cannot avoid the tide of its destruction. However, despite the potential of that possible reality, the freedom to create still rests with each individual.
My predilection is for a world where truth, not manipulation for personal gain, is the guiding force. I seek not to influence anyone with this intent other than to awaken them to their own latent power to create. May they exercise that power with heart, whichever way that leans.
Evolution requires of us to evolve, not to simply follow. If, as a species, we must relive and remake the past before we can move forward, then that truly is where we are and what we must live through. I can be in acceptance of that probability. I see no alternative but complete acquiescence, with equanimity, to all possible outcomes for evolution to advance.
The truth is that life in time/space offers such an opportunity for the refinement of the love we possess, so that, regardless of the drama of our given time here, we can grow. Learning to love all, with detachment, is the highest form of spiritual love. This is the definition of a path with heart.
I am convinced that a sizable portion of humanity is aligned with the intention for the greater good of the planet. This can very well be the silent majority. To be in alignment with this intention is to suggest it to the subconscious, without revealing it outwardly. No need to be an influencer. When we peddle our wares, we awaken the algorithms of descent that then drag us into the mud of doubt and despair.
Instead, find spiritual companionship in the rightness of a path with heart, and in the subtle dimension of dreaming as well, where teachers readily support evolutionary intent.
Hold dearly to your inner truth as your guiding spirit. Never surrender your power to intend, your innate birthright. Become the loving outcome of your own evolutionary suggestions.
Hold space for possibility beyond influence, Chuck
