Life

Life

We create happiness within our Spirit, and then that happiness is shared with the Whole of Creation. Everything that is originally a part of our Divine Realty can be found within us, in our Spirit. I heard something similar to what I am about to say on tell-a-vision (TV) that truly resonates within my Spirit. To touch life is to know life, and to know life is to love life. That is similar to something that came to me a few years ago that goes like this. To Love is to Live, and to Live is to Love.

Earth Mother Loves and Blesses humankind unconditionally and abundantly, however, if we continually abuse and misuse her, she will eventually return to us what we have given to her. If we protect and honor her, she will protect and honor us. Again, if we continually abuse her and misuse her, she will reflect our negative actions and energies back to us. Every single thing that happens to us is necessary to further awaken and mature us Spiritually. Life is all about respect, honor, and balance. Life gives back to us what we give to life. Our seeds of life are our thoughts, words, and actions. Be assured that every seed that we plant will grow into fruit after its own kind. Because of that very important reality, we must be ever conscious of our seed thoughts, words, and actions. We can bet on our every seed returning to us a bountiful harvest after its own kind. Life is what we make it. We are the authors of our life and we are the creators of our reality.

Everything Is In Divine Order As We Follow Our Souls Melody!

Gratitude

Gratitude

How do we obtain and maintain True Happiness? We obtain and maintain True Happiness through gratitude. I am not saying that we should be joyful over every life experience, because we should not be and will not be, and that is okay. Nevertheless, we should be grateful for every single life experience that becomes a part of our journey through life. I have learned over 57 years of life that every life experience whether I view it as positive or negative always guides me to a better place in life. They also cause me to awaken more Spiritually. When I am ever so conscious of that reality I can be grateful for every experience I have in life. So, I invite you to join me on the Path of Happiness by expressing Gratitude for everything you see, hear, taste, touch, feel and experience in this lifetime.

I maintain the space of Gratitude!

Journey Within

Peace and Blessings!

I am extremely happy and excited to share with you what is going on within my Spirit today. I have been sharing my inner dialog with others online since 1996; I started by sending a daily email entitled Essence of Paradise, then after a few years I renamed it From Within My Spirit. In 2008 I started posting on a new blog I call Essence Blogesphere. Now I have decided to also post on Facebook. You can find me under the name Essence of Paradise Wholistic Health and Spirituality. I hope you will enjoy my inner dialog there. Please join me in Creating A Beauty-full Life, One Day At A Time!

... how very important it is becoming for each of you to learn to follow the guidance and direction you receive through the channel of your own heart. All teachings serve only as signposts created by those who have gone before, pointing the way toward a mystery each student must achieve in their own unique way.

Eric Klein

When I read this by Eric Klein, I cannot help but say, Yes! That is what has been going around within my Spirit for the longest time. I am one who really enjoys reading. However, one day years ago I experienced a time when I just could not sit down for any length of time and read with the same joy I once had. At first, I could not understand why. That was because I had not taken the time to go within and ask why. I had slipped into the rut of seeking all of my guidance from the teachings of others in books, audio recordings, and lectures. Even though I was still practicing Early Morning Prayer and Meditation, the Still Small Voice of SPIRIT within my Spirit was getting faint. That was due to the fact that I was becoming more and more reliant upon the words and direction from the books I was reading. One book would say this, and another book would say that. There were giving me many different perspectives of the same thing. I was not paying attention to the fact that it is that way because of the many different experiences each writer had.

That was when I first started to truly understand something I heard a long time ago, that goes something like this. There is no right or wrong when it comes to an individuals understanding, truth, and belief. As you know, you and I could look at beautiful countryside, and our interpretation of what we see would be totally different. Was our interpretation wrong? Were we being misleading? Of course not. Who we are, and our life experiences paint the canvas of life with a picture of personal thoughts, beliefs, and understanding. That is authentic, personal, and true to us.

When I was reading as profusely as I was, I became unbalanced. That was due to the fact that I was trying to follow everything I read, causing me to be pulled in many different direction all at once. Even though each author was headed to the exact same final destination, many had chosen very different paths. If you were trying to go somewhere and you were not sure how to get there, and you asked a friend for directions and they gave them to you. However, as you started out on your journey you saw another friend, and you told that friend where you were going and they here is the way you should go. Then you began to wonder if the first directions were right. Now in your mind you were going back and forth wondering which set of directions was right. Later after making the trip many times, you realized that both ways were right, they simply took you on different paths to the same final destination.

Well, it is exactly the same with just about everything in life. That is why it is so important that we develop the habit of go within and check in with someone that is closer to us than anyone or anything could ever possibly be, I am speaking of SPIRIT. We should be communicating with SPIRIT just like we communicate with our best friend or our partner. In a normal situation, could you be with someone all day and not communicate with them at all. Well SPIRIT is with us always, and it will be that way throughout eternity. So that being the case, why do so many people end up having to go for days, weeks, months, years, and even lifetimes without communicating with SPIRIT in an intimate personal way? Every answer to question we could ever possibly ask, can be found within our Spirit by way of communion with our Eternal Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD, also called SPIRIT. As Eric Klien said, "…how very important it is becoming for each of you to learn to follow the guidance and direction you receive through the channel of your own heart. All teachings serve only as signposts created by those who have gone before, pointing the way toward a mystery each student must achieve in their own unique way." We must follow the guidance given to us after checking it against our Heart/Spirit; which are one in the same. Moreover, yes, we must follow our own unique way, what I call our Souls Melody. If we do not do that, we will find ourselves wandering around following someone else’s Souls Melody and going from place to place and never reach our personal destination.

Every answer to ever question we have can be found within our Spirit, the dwelling place of our one and only true counselor. SPIRIT. We simply must take the time and effort necessary to receive the answers we seek. However, in doing so, we must practice patience. Today people have become impatient because so much has become instant such as automatic tellers, Microwave food, drive-in pharmacies, computers, movies on-demand, and the list goes on and on and on. We want everything right away or preferably yesterday. Just as it is when it comes to cooking, taking time to slowly marinate and simmer food makes the end result tastier. We appreciate things better when we take our time as we create and learn. There is an old saying that I heard from many of my elders. Stop and smell the roses, slow down and enjoy life before you miss it. We must slow down and be conscious of everything that we do, and be conscious of everyone and everything we come in contact with. We should start looking each other in the eyes and truly listen to them when we talk, and pay attention to the details of everything around us. If we do not fully take in and digest our every experience, we may miss some very important keys that will open some very important doors we need to walk through. Our eyes may be wide open, while our minds and hearts are shut tight.

I have committed myself to consistent communion with SPIRIT throughout each and every day of my life. Let me tell you something, there is nothing like communion with SPIRIT. Nevertheless, communion with SPIRIT does not eliminate all of my challenges and mis-takes. However, it does make everything I experience that is less than favorable, tolerable and a lesson I can learn from and stimulate additional Spiritual growth. Communion with SPIRIT helps me maintain a balanced attitude towards this experience called life. When I am consciously connect to SPIRIT through prayer (which is us talking to SPIRIT) and meditation, (us listening to SPIRIT) life becomes Wonder-Full no matter what.

I am enjoying taking time to go within and reading my personalized book that is kept in my Inner Spiritual Library. Hey, why don't you join me and go within and read from your personalized book today. The more you do it, the better and easier everything will get. Enjoy!

Love Is Our Eternal Equalizer!

.

Love and Respect

We must Love and Respect ourselves as much if not more than we Love and Respect others. You might ask; why must we do that? We must do that because how we Love and Respect ourselves sets up a vibration/energy around us. That vibration/energy colors our aura in such a way that we can only attract individuals and things to us that vibrate at the same rate or at a lower vibrational rate, because we are unable to handle and maintain a higher vibrational rate because our system has not been prepared to handle a higher rate of vibration/energy. How we fashion our vessel vibrationally, which is our body, determines the amount of energy we can handle. It is similar to a newborn baby. You would not take a small piece of apple and feed it to a newborn because the newborns system cannot handle solid food. The newborns system must be prepared over time as its body grows and matures for such a drastic change in diet. So must our system when it comes to Loving and Respecting ourselves, especially when we are older and have not been caring for ourselves as we should. It takes time to change. However, that does not give us the right to procrastinate and take our time when it comes down to making such change in our lives. We must facilitate a space for that change and allow it to take place as quickly as possible.

We are taught that thinking about self and doing that which makes us happy is being selfish, we have been totally deceived. Think of yourself as an instrument that is designed to do a specific precision task to facilitate a specific outcome. If you are not finely tuned, and in complete precision working order, you will throw everything out of whack, and the task will be impossible. Well, living as we are designed to live is the precision task I am speaking of. Moreover, to carry out our task of living life as planned, means that we must Love and Respect ourselves totally. In order to set the wheels of Love and Respect in motion, we must be selfish, we must focus on ourselves, and do whatever it takes to remold our thinking, words, and actions in such a way that they align perfectly with Divine Plan so that we enter into the awesome state of Self Love and Self Respect.

I chose to place the picture of the Heart OM at the top of this because the heart symbolizes Life, Love, and compassion, that which we must have for ourselves before we can project it towards others, and because the OM symbol represents the word/vibration, the creation sound that SPIRIT spoke/uttered to bring everything into existence. We must speak/utter the words of Love and Respect as we open to and start Loving and Respecting ourselves.

As I think in depth about this, I actually believe and must say the following. We cannot, and will not truly Love and Respect others as we should if we are not Loving and Respecting ourselves as we should. Without Love and Respect we have absolutely nothing, absolutely nothing at all.

Love Is Our Eternal Equalizer!

Our Guide Deeper into the Matrix

.

Coming Soon ……………..

Technology - Our Guide Deeper into the Matrix

Technology is not only that which leads us deeper into the Matrix; it also takes us further and further away from our Divine Conscious Connection with SPIRIT. Technology is the pulse, the heartbeat, and the energy that feeds and maintains the Matrix. We will either choose the deceptive dark controlling temporal path of the Matrix, or the Eternal, Life Giving, Liberating, Spiritual Path of Light and Love provided to us within our Spirit by SPIRIT. Which path have you chosen to follow? It is never to late to change your path.

I Am That Which I Am Looking For

I Am That Which I Am Looking For

This offering of words of my inner most reality was motivated by the following statement made by a friend on June 11, 2010.

“The only thing in the world you can change is yourself and that makes all the difference in the world.”

I use to believe and say, the only thing in the world we can change is ourselves. However, now I know and say something altogether different.

I cannot, and do not want to change myself because my true self, which is my Higher Self, is nothing less than Complete Perfection. The only thing in the world I can do to make all the difference in the world as I should, is simply be myself. Moreover, that can only be accomplished through what I call Total Spiritual Re-Call. I must remember the truth, remember who I Am, remember that I Am created by and through PERFECTION ITSELF, that makes me a Perfect Creation that does not need to change who or what I Am. I Am perfection, I Am the Complete Personification of Perfection; I Am the Complete Personification of SPIRIT temporarily manifesting in a state of physical form. I do not need to change who I Am, I just need to start viewing everything through my true field of vision. I must start seeing everything through my First Eye. My First Eye actually is what most people call the third eye.

Viewing things through our temporal physical vision is the equivalent of trying to clearly view the world outside a window through dirty smoky glass. In essence, I do not need to change myself, or change who and what I Am. What I need to change is my perception of myself, also how I view and define everything in this physical realm, which includes me. If I Am created by PERFECTION, because of that I can be nothing less than Perfect. Therefore, the bottom line is this. I need to stop looking outside of myself for answers and direction; everything I seek can be found within the very core of my Spirit, which is the Sacred Dwelling Place of SPIRIT ITSELF. That is why it is said in the christian bible, "Be Still and know that I AM GOD." In addition, in numerous other religions their follower’s are taught to be still, clear their minds, go within and meditate.

I Am GODDESS-GOD, because I Am Created by MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD. The created is always one with the creator. The creation is the energetic manifestation of the creator. I am my father and my mother because of the fact that I am the physical creation that has come forth through both of their physical bodies. Physical creations are simply reflections and replicas of that which is Spiritual. Every single creation is a physical reflection of something Spiritual. When it comes to myself and the entire human race, the problems we are experiencing enter into our understanding and lives when we started viewing this physical experience we call life solely through our physical eyes and our other physical senses. How can such an action serve us well when we are Spiritual Beings temporarily traveling through a dense physical plane? That is the equivalent of trying to view the cells of a plant using a magnifying glass; it is impossible to the cells of the plant that way.

Therefore, this is it. I do not need to change who I Am, I need to change how I relate to and how I use who and what I Am. I need to recognize that I Am not an imperfect miserable flawed creation that needs to find something or someone outside of myself to save me from me, and fix me so I can be acceptable to my Sacred Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD. There is no need for me to worry about being accepted by that which I Am One With. I Am who and what I have been looking for to rescue me my entire life, also who and what I have been looking for to rescue me all of my other lifetimes as well. I Am a Divine and Perfect Creation, one who is whole and complete because of my Divine Connection and Sacred Oneness with my Sacred Parent MOTHER-FATHER GODDESS-GOD.

I Am One with GODDESS-GOD,

There Is No Lack In Me,

All of My Need Are Met Daily,

Now I Can See That I Have Always Been Free!

So It Is!

One Love, Unconditional!
