Evolving the Thought

People call the field/sea/energy different things – and everyone has come to envision their experience of it in their own way, based in how they have been taught/ how they have chosen for themselves how to see it, experience it, be with it.I am noticing that the way many are looking at it/ interacting with it – no matter what way that is – it is not effective or useful or helpful for that which we say we want to experience.

Why do I say that? Look around at that which you experience everyday. Is it what you say you are choosing? Listen to people speak of their lives, of the world: are they speaking as if they are experiencing a world of their choosing?

Have you consciously addressed that which you are choosing?

WE create our experiences. We create what we call our future. We create everything we are calling our experience. This may sound crazy – it may sound harsh: We Are Making It All Up!

Everything we see around us – what is going on in our families, our communities, our world – WE – each and every single ONE of us – individually and collectively – we have created/ are creating everything we are experiencing. WE ARE MAKING IT ALL UP.

On this planet, in this universe, using physical bodies, or not using physical bodies: WE EACH/ WE ALL ARE RESPONSIBLE for what we are experiencing.

And if we are not LOVING it, if we are not IN JOY with it, if it is not what we say we are choosing, what we would choose — then it is time to look anew at what we are DOING, and how we are BEING –> and Choose Anew!

 

“Education is Broken – Don’t Fix It!”

The conversation started with the observation that education – as a system, as an institution, really, as anything useful, effective and beneficial at all – is broken.

My response: do not try to fix or repair that which is not serving us most beneficially.

So if education is broken, let us NOT fix it. Let’s create education, anew.

I’m not talking about wiping the slate clean. I’m saying throw the slate out and hit the re-set button. Heck, get rid of the machine analogies altogether,  and begin anew, organically.

To begin anew, it helps to be clear about what we are looking to accomplish. And it will be most beneficial to throw out the ideas of what we think anything should be or should look like, or how it always has been done.  And simply look at, with brand new eyes and open minds and hearts the basic concepts about education that we have been holding as true; why do we have those concepts? Do they serve us?
Well, how do we determine what serves us?
We need to look at what we are choosing to accomplish by what we call education.
What’s the successful “end result” of “education”?

And I’m even saying, don’t just ASSUME we need an “educational system”.  Can we wash our minds so clear of what we have been exposed to and have come to hold as true, that we can question if an established system or institutions are the most effective way to accomplish that which we come to identify as the purpose of education?

Then, having examined those notions, begin anew.

Starting Anew.

It would help to differentiate “starting anew” from fixing what has not been working – and arguably never did. (But why argue?)

Starting A-New indicates: a different approach, fresh thinking, creating new experiences for new and different outcomes (among other things). Fixing is NOT one of them. Creating anew IS.

It is important to be willing to make conscious determinations as to how we are choosing to have and express a thought. Then, having had/expressed the thought, how are we NOW proceeding, and why. When we become more adept and accustomed to the process of functioning anew, then we settle into functioning Naturally ~ as is our true Nature.

In this process of inviting an A-New process, it is really an invitation to functioning Naturally in TRUTH ~ as is our true nature.

To many, it seems like those we call Angels have no choice. That is not so. In the universe, Choice is at cause. Choice is a given for ALL and simply must be ~ or Life/Love could not be what is truly is.

Angels, other highly evolved  Beings, and those of us who choose to own  and embrace that we are enlightened when  we say we are, recognize who we  All truly are. Once one determines that  ONE-ness/We Are ONE is the A-New Process of choice, then functioning Naturally is likened to a fish who can fly, be on land without  gasping for air, but prefers spending most of its time in the water.  That flying Fish has a choice. The water is where it chooses to frolic and create outcomes that even at times could call for going on land and or flying. All the while though, the Fish is having fun, acting in and with deliberate conscious consciousness/ONE-ness.

So how do we function if we are not fixing anything, not righting wrongs, and not in pursuit of “doing” what’s right, or opposing what we have been complaining about?

We open our hearts and minds to bring forth of ourselves to ourselves, the wisdom of functioning A-New in the comforts of ONE-ness. This is where we also demonstrate taking responsibility for how we live.  No one can tell you what it feels like or how it is to be. This is an experience of your own making as you come to your own remembrances of YOU/the ONE of us. Others can share their experiences, share pointers, make references and offer invitations to you about We Are ONE, but you get to experience first hand how it is for you, being our natural SELF, naturally.

We can also call the process of acting A-New as remembering and being that which you remember about you from within you. Next, it is the process of EASY/Ease and Grace. To really appreciate Easy/Ease and Grace, is to give up on “fixing” and move into the process of Life supporting life of which you are and a part of and not apart from. Life in Truth is about the grace of ease/the grace in “ease.”  In hardship, we try to fix things. That is the separation consciousness way of living, and we often mistakenly say this is how life is. In functioning A-New, ease is the new attraction, the new energy, the new excitement. Ease and Grace is how you now act without having to think about it, because it is about BEING the flow of life and being in the flow of your conscious awareness,  naturally.

By default (of which there is no fault involved),  we are, (without fault!) Beings of what we now refer to as Light.  As Beings of Light, we are invited to be light, so that we can Do/Act in Light, and Have ever-lasting experiences of pure light of which words cannot explain and care not to try, but the words lend themselves to point to the Ease and Grace for our ever- expanding experiences of light/flow/ease and grace/who  we truly are.

When we are not busy or otherwise fixing or trying to fix, we can easily get out of the fix/fixes we have brought about for the experiences we next chose. This is now. Let us, by our own free willingness, be here and now in the moment of NOW, liberate our selves from trying to fix ourselves and everything in sight and embrace a new approach. One of, acting in a way that is beneficial to one’s self and every  person, place, and thing seen and yet to be seen. WE ARE ONE. Because we are one, there is no one or no-thing to fix, including one’s self, but only to remember the natural SELF and BE that way,  all ways and always.

Love to us All.

 

“Separation Consciousness”

Separation consciousness is the way we function when we believe that we are separate and apart from the source of creation and all aspects of the creator, i.e. creation. Separation consciousness is the mindsets and beliefs that cause us to see the world as existing only in opposites and extremes, a state of constant battle: good/ bad; right/ wrong; positive/ negative. Choosing to view the world and life this way promotes internal and external wars.
We form judgments about things we label as those opposites, and decide that people who do not agree with our judgments are wrong, and label them opponents, whom we must fight against. (yeah, yeah, I know, Never end a sentence a preposition with. whatever!)
But, hey: if everything arises from the same One Magnificent Source of Light/ Love – then how is any aspect of that creation less than any other aspect of creation? Why would we treat life that way?

Humans (that’s us, you and me, claim your responsibility!) have made choices (& keep making choices) which have created what we are now experiencing on this planet. If we don’t like how it’s going, if it’s not bringing us joy, we have the power to make choice to create something that works more effectively, more joyfully, more peacefully, for the benefit of all of Life.

Would you be willing to make that choice?

What would happen if the judgments we have been holding, we just decided to release; and we opened to what works, most effectively for the benefit of all of Life, and let go of what does not work; let go of right v. wrong; let go of warring as a way of human interactions?

Could we come to the table, devoid of preconceived judgments and biases, in our peaceful discernment and share our ideas to create anew, what works most effectively for the benefit of Life.

 

Form and Focus

Notice that where your focus is, your power goes. If you are focused on what you think you are not experiencing, or focusing on how you feel about other people’s experiences, thinking those experiences are nothing like what you are experiencing – then that is what you are manifesting for your experience. That’s where you are flowing your power.

Is that really what you intend to be focused on?

Everything we do – every choice we make, every thought we sustain, flows from our basic premise in life. Most people have simply adopted the basic life premise of the people with whom/ by whom they were raised, with perhaps a few little adjustments here or there, growing up.

What do I mean by basic premise? I am speaking about the mindsets and beliefs we accept, often without question, to be true. It is these beliefs that then form the basis of how we interpret the experiences we call life.

“Life sucks and then you die.” “God wants us to suffer, so we can be rewarded in heaven.” “Life is about repaying karmic debts.” “Earth is a school for learning, and making mistakes.” “It is human nature to be cruel.” “It is better to give than to receive.” “Don’t show emotion, it is unseemly.” “No one likes change. Change is hard.” “Life is suffering.” “Anything worth having is worth suffering for.”

We could go on with this list forever and never record all the different premises people use to base their lives and life choices on. The point is this – WHAT YOU BELIEVE DETERMINES WHAT YOU PERCEIVE. What you perceive influences the meaning you decide to place upon your experiences, and the life choices you make, from there.

What do you believe about Life, Love, Self and God?
How is that shaping the choices you make in your life?
How is it working for you?
