(15) Inner Peace

An objective observer is filled with inner peace. The objective witness sees beyond the tension and conflict of duality into the unity consciousness of the Higher Self. This perspective offers peace to those who discover it. Unity, non-attachment and acceptance allow the observer to find inner peace.

The mind: You achieve deep, lasting peace when you no longer strive to be right, have the answers and control the outcomes. Freed from the demands of the ego personality, you begin to realize that peace is a state of being that is possible in every moment. Your mind alone cannot take you there; your heart—unconditional acceptance for everything and everyone—must follow.

The heart: An act of grace lifts you into peace when you accept who you are, what has been, what is, and what will be. If you can release the resentments of the past and worry about the future, you create the opening through which Love and peace enter. Filled with acceptance, you find stillness and inner peace.

Commit to the possibility of a peace that exists deep within you. Observe instead of judge.

(14) The Objective Observer Discerns Truth

The observing witness uses discernment to discriminate what is true from what is false. S/he analyzes and synthesizes information with awareness and objectivity. The witness is not attached to being right, having the approval of others or acquiring personal gain without concern for the whole. S/he observes self, others and life with clarity and an open mind. The objective observer focuses on getting to the truth of the matter, not controlling the outcome.

The observer perceives reality and truth with every aspect of being: body, mind, soul and spirit. S/he discovers truth by analyzing the past and assessing the future without the distortions of rigid, limited thinking and emotional turmoil. The observer is in alignment with the stillness of the moment, the inner voice of wisdom and the expanded awareness of Universal Intelligence.

In an observing, receptive state of mind, you receive an insight or creative idea from Universal Intelligence. Your task is to use reason and logic to test its foundation and evaluate its consequences for you and others.

As you observe more and judge less, you will receive and process information that helps you separate truth from distortion. In this expansive awareness your creative thinking becomes unlimited, and your rational mind is free to make wise choices and solve problems. If you are committed to truth, it will find you.

(13) Surrender Attachment to the Outcome

An objective observer surrenders the need to control outcomes. The non-attached observer does not let go of the desire for the outcome, but the need to have it a specific way and/or by a pre-determined time. This attitude brings the observer in alignment with the co-creative process, attracting the desired outcome quickly.

When you give up attachment to an outcome, you are able to recognize when you are striving to accomplish goals instead of living in the present moment. You are also able to recognize when something is not working. In both instances you need to make choices about what to do next. The observer who does not cling to outcomes will be able to take the appropriate action to change course or change a strategy.

When all you have tried is not working, let go of controlling the outcome and invite a power greater than yourself to enter the situation. As you put aside your controlling ego, you attract the answer to your question or allow the outcome to come to you. Do your best to achieve results and allow the Creative Principle to do the rest.

(12) The Authentic Self

The Authentic Self is one with Creative Principle and Universal Intelligence as well as the ego personality—the lower self. This unifying principle is ever present in a human being. The noise of the ego’s obsessive thinking drowns out this inner presence and quiet voice. But, the Self is waiting to be reconciled with the ego personality. It calls to the ego with unconditional acceptance in times of open awareness and grace. Silence and stillness bring the ego and Self together. In this space of unlimited potential, the divine and human merge.

Chronic negative beliefs and emotions prevent you from being open to the personal transformation the Self offers. Your personal power, compassion and wisdom remain limited until you live from the Authentic Self. This Higher Self lives in perfect alignment with the Creator. It is the Universal Christ Consciousness that exists within every human being; It integrates the spiritual and human aspects of your being and collapses inner polarities. It also puts you in perfect alignment with your desires, skills, talents, values and purpose.

The Self frees you from the illusion of separation from self, others, life and Creator. The Self influences you to be a choice maker who is in alignment with universal laws. When your will merges with your Authentic Self, your choices are no longer based on a need for power, control and being right. Together, you co-create for the greater good of the whole; you can improve and uplift human consciousness and the human condition.

As you observe more and judge less, you are on our way to the Self. The Self replaces the negative emotions and beliefs that are based on fear and separation with happiness, gratitude, compassion, and trust. Once this connection is strong, the inner knowing of the Self guides you. This quiet voice of truth fills you with inner peace. The observing witness within you creates the pathway through which the ego aligns itself with the Self.

(11) Observe Without Judgments or Resistance

Judgments: Your judgments distort what you see and hear as well as contaminate the interpretations you place on insights or situations. They limit your thinking, your being and your life. They limit truth. You are in a state of unlimited awareness when you suspend judgments.

The observing witness gets out of the problem, removes blind-spots and sees possibilities. S/he gets a clear picture of the issues and discovers creative solutions. Connecting to pure potentiality, the witness retrieves new ideas that s/he tests in reality: What is the next step to accomplish the goal? What resources do I need to implement it? What are the consequences of doing it this way?

When you approach Universal Intelligence with an open mind and heart, you become the highest instrument of the co-creative process. The results you produce will have a positive influence on mankind. Your personal gain will be great, too.

Resistance: You create struggle and striving when you force an agenda to happen your way. Through your mistakes and disappointments, you learn many valuable lessons about yourself and the process of co-creating. At some point, you must get off the treadmill in order to observe a situation from a higher perspective.

Your challenge is to recognize when you are resisting truth because you are striving to make something happen. As an observer, you are more able to discriminate between when to take charge and when to allow universal laws to do their magic.

A power greater than yourself is available to bring you into alignment with the co-creative flow. Trust this Higher Order; you will be able to let go of your fears and doubts. You will no longer need to control the outcome; you will be guided to the finish line.

(10) The Observing Witness

To witness is to be involved and aware without preconceived ideas. The witness assesses, analyzes and evaluates information with objectivity. The witness is able to remain open to possibility as s/he participates in life.

An observing witness is always a curious seeker of truth. What is real and true may change as the observer changes her/his level of awareness. When looking at blood or human cells through a microscope, the observer will see different things depending on the level of magnification. Yet, all levels reflect truth.

Your perception is the lens of your microscope. It affects your ability to look deeper into the truth of your being and the origins of co-creating. As your awareness evolves and expands, so does your ability to recognize and discern truth at the deepest levels of reality.

Human beings have within them the potential to be a witness as they

  • Observe without judgments
  • Discern truth from falsehood
  • Live in the expanded awareness of the present moment

    (9) Truth Is Within You

    If you could live the truth of your divinity, you would be free from limitation and at one with the abundant creative flow—the river of life. You would be a Master co-creator. But, layers of rigid beliefs and conditioned patterns prevent you from living this state of truth, unity and expansion. The way to clarity and truth is a journey that requires awareness, effort and time.

    Before you can shed distortions that leave out more truth, power and love than they let in, you must look beyond the known. Personal discontent and curiosity motivate you to discover what is possible within yourself and the universe. When you find a personal or universal truth on your journey of transformation, you feel free, expansive and powerful. Truth connects you to more of yourself and life, not less. It produces harmony, not discord. You begin to feel full, not empty; connected, not disconnected.

    When your awareness slips into the space between your thoughts (not thinking), you enter the space of pure potential. If you have a clear mental slate for even a second, a new insight can be written on it. As you slip into a blank state of mind, Universal Intelligence speaks to you. With an open, objective mind, you go beyond limiting beliefs to greater truths. This process connects you to personal and universal wisdom and eventually restores you to the human/divine perfect pattern.

    Become an observing witness:

    • Ask one open ended question (not a yes or no question) of Universal Intelligence while in a calm, centered, curious, compassionate state of being; then trust the answer is coming to you.
    • Remain open to possible insights or solutions while living your normal life for several hours, days, weeks and months; check in from time to time by asking the question and listening for the insight.
    • Be aware and listen for answers to come to you through your dreams, the media, books, nature or people. Do not strain for answers; just know the answer exists.
    • Analyze the data that grabs your attention. (If you do not know where or how your body feels truth, develop this response; your body wants to help you recognize truth.) When you receive the right insight or solution, it is in harmony with who you are and feels positive.

    (8) Cultivate Curiosity

    At birth an infant's mind is a clean slate, filled with possibility and potential. The developing small child is curious and totally engaged in the present moment. Parents and society begin to program and control what is real and what is possible for this emerging conscious being. The child’s natural curiosity becomes restricted as s/he learns reality from fantasy. Parents and society dictate what to believe and what is possible in the real world.

    The child’s curiosity is replaced with conformity. As the child adapts to the status quo for survival, s/he is socialized. The community benefits, but the curious mind of the child gets trapped in rigid, limiting patterns. If the adult can put aside rigid beliefs, s/he has found a way back to a state of childlike curiosity and openness. The adult has an opportunity to discern a new level of what is real and what is fantasy.

    When you are a curious and aware adult, you are open to possibilities, wise with knowledge and life experience, and connected to Universal Intelligence:

    Open to possibilities: You allow new information to break through your existing belief systems. You are able to brainstorm new possibilities and ideas as you search for creative solutions to existing challenges.

    Wise with knowledge and life experience: You assess, analyze and synthesize information as a result of the wisdom that comes from life experience. You are more able to discriminate truth from illusion and make wise choices.

    Connected to Universal Intelligence: You receive insights and creative ideas from an inner source of knowing that is much greater than your personal consciousness.

    With an open mind you are able to ask curious questions and allow possibilities, knowledge and knowing to lead to outstanding results. The naiveté of the child is replaced with the discernment of the adult. Curious and aware, you discover truth and co-create wisely.

    (7) Contribute to the Greater Good

    All creative thoughts come from Universal Intelligence—the reservoir of all possibilities. When you become an observer to your own creative thinking, you will tap into this source of intelligence. You will be more receptive and open to what is possible. You will notice that an unfolding order is guiding you from within. You will soon understand that when you live your deepest truth, you contribute to the greater good of the whole.

    If you can give up attachment to personal gain (not the desire or outcome), you will find that more enlightenment, more money and more harmony will enter your life. You will be motivated by the need to give back rather than accumulate. Knowing you are one with the whole, you will want to do your part. Sharing who you are will be more important than protecting your own possessions.

    When you are free from the worry for your own survival, you will focus on co-creating in alignment with your divine/human talents, values and purpose. To create and contribute is one of the greatest reasons for being alive. Because the mass consciousness is not in alignment with this truth, the creative flow has become stagnant. The poisons are building: Bodies, minds, souls and communities are contaminated.

    The current co-creative process is out of alignment with the Law of One. When wealth is held in the hands of a few or beliefs exclude rather than include, the co-creative process is thwarted through ignorance and misalignment.

    Everyone is a co-creator, from the simple to the great. All are doing their part as they participate in a Higher Order. All are participating in the glory of creation. You are invited to bring forth your unique contribution to the whole. You are invited to join other creative geniuses who create through universal laws.

    As you co-create, you can choose to serve the highest ideals of personal truth and love, or not. Claim the power of creation within you; be willing to become your best.

    Tuesday, October 9, 2007

    (6) Perfection is Possible

    Your challenge is to begin thinking outside the mindsets of the mass consciousness. If you can be in a question without relying on what you know for the answer, you enter the realm of unlimited possibilities.

    If you are able to think less and be open minded more, you will experience a shift in your awareness. As your mind becomes more receptive, you will be influenced by the unlimited possibilities within Universal Intelligence. This intuitive connection brings new insights and wisdom to you. You begin to integrate cosmic knowing and rational thinking as you create the life you desire.

    Creative genius, power and wealth are not guarantees of a happy, fulfilled life. In fact, these possibilities can destroy as easily as uplift. Your highest potential will be fulfilled when you enter the realm of possibility aligned with your personal truth. If you are also willing to serve the greater good of the whole, you will be restored to your original perfection as a co-creator.

    Master co-creators return to a state of perfect alignment with divine wisdom, love, power and peace. The laws of physical nature no longer dictate their reality, and the ego personality no longer dictates their desires. Masters embody Divine Self and Divine Will. They see perfect possibility in everything and everyone. They focus on the perfection of being, and they create in harmony with the Law of One.

    The answers to your problems and challenges can be found within Universal Intelligence. It is the repository of possibilities. How many of you are willing to step into the clearing? There you release attachment to your limited perceptions of self and life long enough to discover more. It only takes a flash of a second to receive a truth that sets you free from limited thinking. Eventually, you will understand that the state of perfection is a possibility within you.

    (5) Finding Truth

    Creative thinkers are asking questions about the nature of human beings and the universe. In their quest for truth they are unveiling the deeper mysteries of creation and co-creation: Who are we? Where do we come from? Why are we here?

    Personal and global discontent is growing because human beings are beginning to realize something is wrong. It is this restless spirit and questioning mind that take you and others on a search for a greater truth. Your search for truth will not always replace what you know; sometimes it gives new meaning to an old concept because your perception has changed. Other times, epiphanies shatter old beliefs and personal goals, changing you and your life.

    You will find core truths for yourself and discover universal truths if you search with an open, curious mind. The highest universal principles are inclusive and expansive; they leave the seeker feeling connected to a power greater than the ego personality. This growing awareness of unity, expansion and harmony will influence the evolution of the individual and human race. It will change the course of history as well.

    Hatred, ignorance, greed and fear are destroying the potential for human beings to live within the Law of One—the unity of all life in perfect order. Out of alignment with this Law, human beings live with poverty, disease, war, crime and mental illness. They co-create separated from the influence of unity. If your awareness, choices and actions are not in alignment with who you are and the Law of One, you will struggle in the co-creative process. You will compete for limited resources when abundance and peace are possible.

    You will find a way out of limitation if you are willing to discover: Who you really are (a divine/human being); where you come from (Universal Source and Creative Principle); and why you are here (to co-create with the Great Creator).

    Universal Truth is waiting to connect you to the awareness that you are a Master who co-creates in accordance with the Law of One. Once you acknowledge and experience this possibility, you are on your way to enlightenment. You liberate yourself from ignorance, lack and limitation. You replace dogma and judgments with awareness and alignment. You accomplish your personal intentions with ease because they support you and a higher order. This and more are yours!

    (4) Beyond the Status Quo

    Rigid beliefs limit your awareness of what is possible. They hold you captive in what you know to be real, true and comfortable. In your need to remain in the known, you are less able to discover the truth in a new possibility. A fearless, inquisitive, open mind leads you out of limiting perceptions and beliefs.

    Spiritual, social and scientific institutions promote the status quo—the known. These institutions limit your access to what is possible and real for yourself and the group. When you rigidly believe someone else’s truth, you silence or devalue your inner voice. Possibilities for the evolution of the human race remain a secret as well.

    Formal religion reminds you of your spiritual roots. It is a source of comfort and community. It is also filled with dogma that may prevent you from finding truth through direct individual experience. When you rely on another’s truth instead of discovering your own, you limit your connection to Universal Intelligence and Creative Principle. When you have the courage to be awake and aware to unlimited possibility, you will be able to go beyond the status quo.

    As you allow Universal Intelligence to guide you into truth, you will become an enlightened co-creator. You will live in harmony with the universal laws of creation. You will begin to change human evolution and guide the course of history in positive ways. The ultimate Power, Wisdom and Love are within you. Use them to co-create a new way of being, doing and having in this world.

    Opportunities to open your mind and change your thinking exist everywhere. A book, person, class or movie can touch you with a truth you are ready to hear. Being in the stillness and expansion of nature itself can stimulate valuable insights. Each new truth you discover expands your awareness and transforms your being.

    (3) Co-Creating: Thought into Form

    Through the process of evolution, one phase creates a bridge to the next. The airplane has been brought to its current state of technology by the visions and actions of many different people. It began with the Wright Brother’s first airplane. It has evolved to current jet airplanes and space rockets. Someone will take it beyond jets and rockets.

    From simple to complex, air travel is in a dynamic process of evolution. One stage builds on another as more efficient air travel evolves. To date, no human creative thinker has been able to grasp the technology that will unlock the ultimate air travel. But, some co-creator will eventually receive these new ideas and guide air travel to the next level. More advanced co-creators will reveal to others how to transport the human body itself through space and time.

    There is another reality to consider in the process of co-creating. All material form has its origins in Universal Intelligence, and all thoughtforms exist right now, beyond time and space! A form exits as a thought contained within the realm of all possibilities in the present moment. The first airplane and ultimate flying machine simultaneously exist right now in this mental universe of possibilities.

    The creation of a conscious being, a co-creator, follows this pattern. The ultimate co-creator is within you right now even though you are not aware of it. Your limited thinking keeps you bound to the human evolutionary path, and out of touch with the Master within you. Your inner Master is equal to the Avatars who came to be human/divine role models in their communities. These Masters express the ultimate human being, at one with the Creative Principle.

    There are written accounts of Master co-creators who can turn an intention into physical form immediately. Such a Master can think a flower and miraculously hold it in his/her hand. At this stage of evolution, you turn intentions into physical form through time and space. You plant a seed, and the flower grows to maturity in nature over time. You may not be able to manifest thought into form miraculously; however, within you is the potential to do this. Acknowledge this as a possibility today. You are taking one step closer to knowing the Master within you.

    Sunday, September 9, 2007

    (2) Enlightenment: What Is It?

    Enlightenment leads to the understanding that each of us is a co-creator with the Great Creator. If God is only a specific personality outside of you, you limit your awareness of this truth. Your own development as a human/spiritual co-creator is stifled. The light in enlightenment is formless; it is pure awareness. In this light you will be able to see clearly and recognize truth. An enlightened individual participates in the world of form as well as the formless dimensions of the universe—the empty space that contains all possibilities.

    The Great Creator exists beyond all form, including duality. Duality is a limited way of understanding the nature of a God and mankind. It also limits your understanding of your role in the universal plan. You cannot develop into your ultimate TRUTH if you limit the Creator as a Father or Mother. Yes, God incarnates through a man or woman; however, the essence of the Creator being expressed through these divine beings is much more and cannot be contained in or confined to male and female personalities.

    Ignorance of the formless dimension of the One Creator—the Source—contributes to people living in disharmony. Mankind is on the verge of destroying itself with hatred, greed, violence and wars. This negativity is an indicator that the human race is out of alignment with the universal laws of unity, balance and harmony.

    Organized systems of honoring God serve a sacred purpose. They connect people to their predominant nature: Spiritual beings having a human experience. If you are willing to go beyond beliefs that comfort and limit you, you can reconnect to your wholeness. With an open mind and heart, you will understand the deeper nature of your being and the nature of the universe. Enlightenment offers you expanded awareness, power and love.

    (1) Co-creators with the Great Creator

    In the act of procreation, the DNA of two human beings and a spark of the Creative Principle co-mingle to co-create a new human/divine life. The Creator expresses the unlimited potential of the universe through this new being. The Creator and new being are one; they can never be separated.

    Unlimited potential and possibility fill the new conscious co-creator. Unfortunately, human programming and personal experiences soon constrict the creative genius within everyone. These mindsets not only limit the individual, but the human race as well. Consequently, few gifted individuals receive the label genius or Master. But, as more people unleash their unlimited potential, the ranks of the gifted will increase. The extraordinary will become ordinary.

    The Creator is the dynamic source of all life. It expresses itself in form, but is also formless. It creates in accordance with universal laws. Human beings participate in this process. They co-create with the Great Creator. They turn thoughts into form through intentions and creative energy. Ignorance, limiting judgments, and negative emotions prevent human beings from remembering they are divine as well as human, infinite and finite. To think of yourself as a spark of the Creator is not heresy. It is the greatest truth. Human beings distort the concept of co-creation. They have forgotten that the potential to live the full expression of their divinity is within them.

    You become a master co-creator through your own efforts as well as the efforts of the human race. As the collective awareness breaks through limited thinking, the way is made possible for the individual to follow. Or, as an individual breaks through limitations, the way is made possible for the collective to follow. The individual and the collective human race influence one another; they are inseparable.

    Path to Growth and Enlightenment: Awaken to your inner cosmic knowing and connect to the source of all life. Allow this unlimited divine potential to guide you on a journey of personal transformation. This process aligns you with your original perfection. To grasp this notion, you must put aside your rigid beliefs of who you are and what the Creator is. Instead, think about yourself and the Creator through an open, curious mind. As you climb outside the walls of your mental boxes, you are more available to the unlimited Creative Power and Universal Intelligence that is a part of you.
