It's All or nothing

If God is All That Is
If everything I perceive proceeds from Him
Being the Source of All thing

If He loves me so much
That the only thing He gives me
Is love and happiness

How then can I seek something else ?
How can I crave for any kind of stuff
While the totality is forever available to me in Him?

How can I run after mere shadows
While Truth is calling on me so lovingly
And Is in fact what I really am ?

How can I turn my back to light
And blindly jump into darkness
Where only illusions abide?

Today I have made a new decision
Today I have made a new choice
Today I take a new direction

I choose only Totality and nothing else
I choose Reality and Truth instead of shadows and illusions
I choose the Source instead of Its mere projections
And I choose light instead of darkness

It's All or nothing !

Put aside whatever is not in alignment with your purpose

Life is a series of events, situations and circumstances you get through on a continual basis and that represent occasions or opportunities of choice; the choice to affirm your true identity despite the suggestions of your physical senses.

Whatever occurs in your existence that you consider as injustice, bitterness or wrong doing, never pay attention, complain or react negatively against it. Otherwise, you loose your energy and focus on what is essential.Take the seed for example; it has an important lesson to teach you in this regard.

The seed never loose focus and is never distracted from its main objective, which is to grow and become a beautiful plant or a big tree. No matter what happens in its environment, it keeps growing up. In fact, the seed needs only whatever is necessary for its expansion. That is, all the resources it uses are in perfect alignment with its ultimate goal.

You don't know it but, as human being, you are exactly like the seed, although you may think differently. You believe you have various types of needs and goals, while in fact there exists only one which is the same as for the seed. It is to grow, evolve,  and get back home, in the oneness of your creator.

Once you understand that your main purpose is to grow and become one again with God, anything that is not in alignment with your goal is put aside. Ask yourself over and over, "is what I am thinking or doing in alignment with what I really want or am?". If the answer is negative, give it up immediately and correct the course.

In effect, you cannot achieve your ultimate goal or whatever, unless you put aside and give up whatever you are doing that is not in alignment with it. You are so engaged in all kind of distractions that, without a serious revolution in yourself, oneness with your Father seems almost impossible.

However, the choice is yours. Make the inventory of your life. From the list, retain only the things that are in harmony or in alignment with your goal, which is your oneness with God. Then, discard anything else that distracts you and wastes your creative energy.

Playing truant in the school of life delays your personal evolution

All creatures, including human beings, are here to grow, evolve and expand towards a higher consciousness. That's one of the main reasons for which we are here. But this implies diverse types of tests and experiences  along the path, including small incidents  as well as big challenges often erroneously perceived as problems, obstacles, difficulties, blocks, injustices and so on.

In fact, what you perceive as such are gifts and blessings from the Almighty, and should not be dreaded, resisted and avoided as most people do. Understand that these are necessary steps we all must go through, if we are willing to grow in knowledge, strength, wisdom, understanding, self mastery or even faith; and so, get ready for the next level of higher consciousness.

The majority of people would like life to be as a long calm and quiet river without any disturbance, so that they may enjoy it more fully. They believe that the unique purpose of life is to make human beings happy during their entire journey on earth, by insuring that every possible unwanted condition is put out of equation.

Only a few dare to challenge themselves by facing the difficult conditions of life with the conscious intention to exceed their current limits, and grow, up to a superior level of their consciousness. Maybe intuitively they know that there is not another way towards spiritual growth and evolution.

However, happiness is not the main purpose of human existence. Of course, enjoying from time to time happy events that delight your soul for a moment can be a good thing. But, such circumstances are always ephemeral by nature, like anything else in this dimension of life. So, they come and go, but never last forever.

The main purpose of life however, as stated at the beginning, is to make you grow, evolve, and expand unlimitedly, through all the exams presented to you along the path, in the form of challenges of all kinds. Happiness may delight you; that's true. But, by itself alone, you cannot achieve the spiritual growth and evolution you seek. 

And, if you'd like to have an idea of what your current level of self mastery and spiritual growth is, just observe how you react to the present conditions and circumstances of your life. The feedback you get from yourself like that is an accurate indicator of your current state of mind, as well as your spiritual level. This test will always reveal you the truth about yourself.

As such, life can be compared to a school in which we learn new lessons, that prepare us everyday for the next class, the next year. But if, all year long, we keep playing truant, miss and avoid important courses, we will not catch the essential lessons we are supposed to learn through these courses and pass the final exam that opens for us the door to the next class.

However, it is what we do all the time, when we resist the challenges of life which, like school, gives us new and important lessons every single day, through people, events and circumstances. But, these lessons are so well wrapped and deeply hidden in them that, most of the time, we focus only on forms.

We keep complaining about appearances, or  what is, erroneously perceived as threatening, while in fact these are bearers of lessons for us to grasp. Therefore people, events and circumstances come to you as messengers or teachers, not as ennemies whose mission is to hurt and push you down.

So, instead of joyfully and gratefully welcoming situations without any preconceived idea, and open mindedly be willing to learn from them in order to achieve a greater understanding that leads to a higher knowledge, we resist. Because we believe that life is unfair and against us.

Therefore, we do whatever we can to avoid or escape from people or situations we resent and dread.  But the fact is, as long as we behave like that, situations we resist cannot change; just as students who play truant cannot pass exams and enter the next class. That is, until they change their mind and decide to attend the courses and learn the lessons of the current class, they cannot move to the next.

In fact, situations are not meant to change externally. Change, instead, must come from you, in terms of  understanding and inner growth, before new challenges can be presented to you. That means, you have to become strong, spiritually speaking, to the extend that you no longer perceive conditions as separate, but as integrate parts of who you are now.

Today, take the decision to change your mind about people, situations, events and circumstances of your life.Remember, what is is, but the choice is yours; the choice to react  according to who you are. Decide you will no longer perceive them as separate entities, obstacles, blocks, or threats. But as blessings and opportunities to learn and evolve. And, with more and more understanding, by choosing love you would move towards higher levels of consciousness.

Once you've learned the lessons from a specific level of consciousness, situations will change by themselves and open the door for new ones in the same class or the next. It is not another way around. There is no escape, and the only result you get when playing truant, resisting and refusing to learn your lessons, is but a useless delay in your personal growth and evolution.

This, by the way, is not wise. Because when you do, you'll keep living the same situations over and over again, until you learn the lessons deeply hidden in them. These lessons, however, are delivered for your highest good. For in its infinite wisdom, life knows you must be well prepared and become strong, before you move foreward to the next level.

God knows all your impatience, frustration and anger. But, He's got also the whole picture; meaning,  the challenges waiting for you ahead, in your next classes. And because He loves you more than anything, He prepares you to be ready first, before you face those next challenges.

But, it is important to remember that you are not alone on the path of your journey to higher consciousness.God, through the Holy Spirit is forever present in you, providing you with continuous support and assistance.

That is the job of the Holy Spirit in you; to guide you and help you to catch the hidden lessons of your situations, so that you can move forward. But you also have an important responsibility in this process. It is to ask.

To do so, you must know what to ask,  how to ask, when to ask, and to whom. Asking is not as easy as  people think. If you are not clear at this point, you shouldn't even try to ask for anything. Because risks are that you get opposite results from your "bad" requests.

According to the bible, there is a major condition to perform before formulating any demand. In Matthew 21:22, this condition  is as follows:

"You can pray for anything, and if you have faith, you will receive it."

"If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."

You've got it! This major condition is belief, or faith that you have already received whatever you ask in prayer. But, what is it that you really ask for? What do you really need on your path to a higher conscousness?

In truth, the first thing you should ask from the Almighty is faith. For when you have faith,  you get clear about any situation; you get light. It is what you really need, in order to achieve the state of clarity necessary to learn your lessons.

Now that you know what to ask, when to ask then? You ask only when you are in a state of absolute relaxation, stillness, peace of body and mind. Call it the vortex or whatever. Anything you do out of this state, with a  trouble mind, leads directly to failure and disappointment.

But, how do you ask more effectively? You do it by genuinly giving thanks and gratitude that it is so, and living according this truth. You give thanks to whom? Of course to God, the Almighty, All That Is, through the Holy Spirit which is in you.

Only the Holy Spirit's voice can be understood by God, the Father. The Holy Spirit is the bridge between the Creator and you. You are not pure enough to get in touch with the Almighty, and all your efforts in trying to address directly your pryers and your gratitude to Him, will be vain.

There is still a lot to say about this communication between you and God. This, however, is the big picture.

It is all around you

Up to this moment, you have been looking at the same things always in the same way. Guess what? Your life has always been the same, also. Remember that what I call your life has nothing to do with your experiences, "good" or "bad", but with who ou are when you live them, or the way you live them instead.

When I say that it's all around you, I really mean it. When you are in your home, in your office, out with friends, in the street, what at you looking at? How are you looking at it? What do you focus on usually? What do you feel?

You see, it's just about that!

People can look at the same thing at the same time, but neither seeing the same thing nor experiencing the same feeling.

What do you feel when you see another person with the kind of new car or nice home you crave for? What do you feel when you see a nice guy or a beautiful women? What do you feel when you notice you don't have enough money in your purse? What do you experience in you when someone else is succeesful and you are not? How do you live these things? Why even do you notice them?

If you can change the way you look at things, or completelly choose to look at new ones instead of focusing on the same over and over, you would change everything in your life also. That does not mean things will change, which is by the way not important. What will happen is that you will change, regardless of what occurs around you, and this priceless.

Remember that everything is around you. Everything. You have the choice to put your attention where you want.

There are no such things as problems or obstacles

Yes, that's true. Problems or obstacles are but merely opportunities for you to declare and choose who you are and who you want to be. They are not there to have grievance for, neither to be worried nor feared.

As opportunities, they should and must be met with gratitude, appreciation and love. Just as Benjamin Franklin said:" Notice the blessing in everything, big and small. Dwell on the beauty in all I see, hear, touch, taste and smell. Realize that everything is a gift from the almighty and is put there in order to enjoy and learn from".

As you see, gratitude, appreciation and love are the only answers which are to be given to any situation whatsover that seems to bother you. Because, as a creator of your own life and not a victim of it, you are given the chance through them to choose rightly, in order to become little by little Who You Really Are.

What you are creating is how you react to people, events and circumstances that come your way, and the way you feel about it is what is called your "life". The question is, how would you like this experience to be?

Yes, you've got it. Your life is based on your state of mind which is produced by your reaction to what you experience now as "good" and "bad". And this experience, in turn, is dictated by the way you judge everything that happens to you.

That's why you are often said: Judge not! You don't have enough clarity to do so and to really appreciate life as it is. Therefore, your only alternative is the one described above which consists of appreciating and being grateful about everything for the apportunity they give you to choose your true Self and thus, get back home.

Give and you will receive

They say, ask and you will receive. I say, give and you will receive. What do you prefer? For me, I believe that both giving and receiving are one, and there would not be one, without the other. But, the truth is that one precedes another.

Which is thus the one that precedes the other? It sounds like the story of the egg and the hen, isn't it? So, let's assume that as sons of God, we are and have already everything, and nothing is missing to us, right? That means, love, joy, happiness, abundance, wealth, and health, to list just a few, are our inheritance.

If this is so, and I firmly believe that it is, it implies that having already everything, giving then must come first to precede receiving which comes later. But generally, because they don't have the awareness of what their true reality, people have the tendancy to ask, in order to receive what they already have, not realizing that all they seek for is already in them.

When they keep asking, they reinforce in themselves the belief that they don't have what they are asking for. And doing so, they never get it. Because they look for it where it is not for having been confused with their fonction given them by God and which is to give and share with their brothers all the abundance that is in them.

You are a natural giver because of what you are. And, if you want to have some indicators of the things you don't give enough, look at those that are not enough present or are missing in your life.

Do you have enough love, respect, money, abundance, help, attention, kindness, promotion, happiness, joy, health and so on in your life? If not, that's the proof that you are a poor giver of the same. If yes, keep giving more and more so that you experience more also.

Remember, your function here is to give out and share unconditionally with the world the blessings given you by your father. Asking for them is a sign of poverty, which has nothing to do with you.

Don' worry about receiving, this is not your part and does not depends on you. What depends on you is what you are responsible of, or choose to give, through your will. That is the only thing that matters. Receiving, then, takes care of itself.

Be like de sun if you want to be happy

Most people believe that happiness is something to get outside of themselves. Something gained from or achieving a specific goal valuable to them. Such as getting a good job or a promotion, living romantic relationship, receiving lot of money, buying a new car or a big home, passing an important exam or receiving a degree, etc.

But, the truth is that happiness is not something you get from doing or achieving anything. Happiness is inherent to you, it's your nature, It's what you really are. The good feeling that emerges from you due to a particular event was already there in you, but not activated. It's only when a specific event is pleasant to you that this feeling is activated, which does not mean it comes from outside. Some time later, it is disactivated again.

The question is, if happiness is your natural state, why aren't you permanently happy?

Here are a few answers. First, you are unhappy because you do not focus enough on things that please you. People usually spend most of their time on things that generate in them feelings of worry, fear, anxiety, dispear and so on, instead of on those that make them feel good or make them happy.

They don't know how to use their existing environment as a pretext to activate the feeling of happiness in them, even for a moment. Instead, they let their attention wander everywhere and be focused on things they don't like, which generate only negative emotions and finaly make them feel bad. Thus, by not having the capacity to choose and focus only on what please them, they behave like victims of circumstances, instead of the conscious creators of their own life.

Second, you are unhappy because you are looking for happiness where it is not and can not be found. As stated earlier, happiness is not obtained in exchange of acquisitions, or achieved as a result of living specific circumstances or events. Happiness Is, already, in you, however dormant. What is required is merely your awareness of it, so that in time, little by little, it manifests in your life.

But, in order to be truly happy once you become aware of it as inherent to you, give happiness all over the places. Give it to every person you meet and love them all. Most of the time, people wait for something to happen in order to be happy. But, this is a big mistake. Happiness is not a reward. Don't wait for the change you desire in your environment to occur, so that you may be happy.

Doing so means that your happiness is external to you; which is not the case. Happiness implies proactivity. That means, being conscious of your natural happiness, you take it first with you wherever you go, and give it freely to the world, without expectations. Because as you give, so shall you receive. It is law. Expectations are one of our main obstacles to happiness, as they block the flow of positive energy flowing through us.

Look at the sun. Do you think that all over the world you see, there is something more happier than the sun? Day by day, it sends consistently its big smile and its light to all of us, unconditionally and without discrimination. That is true love.

Be like the sun, if you want to be happy. Become an unconditional giver, not a frenetic receiver. Give only the best that is in you, always, and you'll experience it in return in your life. There is no other way to happiness.

What are you waiting for?

There are two ways of living one's life. The first one consists in chosing to appreciate, be grateful and satisfied for what is yours, already. The second one is the opposite; in which all your focus is put excusively and permanently on what you are craving for, but you don't have yet. And, because of that, you feel bad and frustrated all the time, at the point that you are no longer able, neither to notice what is already in your hands, nor to appreciate and enjoy it.

In these two attitudes, no doubt that the first one, if practiced regularly, will bring you joy and happiness for anything in your life; while the second will make you feel not enough, empty, poor and miserable all the time. However, the choice is yours, although not often easy. But, it is worth making, if peace of mind is important to you. As an old proverb goes: "a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush". Think about it!

You are never sure whether what you are craving for, will be yours or not. Or, if it will be good for you when you get it. In fact, there is no proof nor any guaranty whatsoever, that one day, the thing you want will come into your life and bring you the joy or satisfaction you seek. In addition, Considering that nothing and no stuff will give you everlasting happiness on this heart, why then wasting the few and precious moments you have in this lifetime for the unknown?

Do you want to be happy? Change your mind about life and go with the flow. That is, stop looking at the sky, waiting for a particuliar event to come, in order to appreciate your life and enjoy it. Know that every single thing that you have ever gone through, has contributed to the kind of person you have now become, and to the level of achievement which is yours currently . Therefore, appreciate and be grateful for all thing, even the slightest.

Your life, is like a half- glass of water. The way you see it, is what determines your level of joy or of unhappiness. You are your own judge. Judge your life as half- empty, you will be miserable. See it as half- full, you will feel good and your happiness is assured. What do you prefer, joy or unhappiness?
Remember always one thing: your glass will never be full as you imagine, as long as you remain on this earth. Because if it were, you would not be here any more. So, forget its half- empty part. Make a comprehensive inventory of the half- full one and, eveyday, appreciate, enjoy, and be grateful for it.

Chose your own beliefs

Generally, we behave according to what we have learned in the past from other people, our family, our parents, our friends, our society, our environment and so on, but rarelly from what we trully believe, or think to be true for ourselves.

As a result, what we experience in life becomes in alignment to social or traditional beliefs, and not to our true nature as individuals, or the core of our being.

Me, as individual, I have nothing to do with another individual. I have a personal focus on life, different from others's. Therefore, my reality shouldn't be the same as everybody's reality. I stand in life from a specific perspective that has nothing to do with the perspective from which other people stand in like.

That's why I must chose my own beliefs, and live according to them. As this has been stated by many people, the law of life is the law of belief. Your life is a mirror, a projection or a reflection of your beliefs. That's why in order to change your life, you must change your beliefs, not the outer world.

You cannot remove something on your face from the mirror you have in hand, no. The mirror just reflects what you have on your face, so that you decide to remove it or not. In the same way, you cannot extinguish fire in a house by fighting against the smoke outside the house, no. You do it by extinguishing the fire itself, in the house. The smoke is just a signal for you that your house is burning, so that you take action.

You see, you must change your beliefs, in order to change your current experiences. Let's say for example that you think you are stuck in some difficulty. You will remain stuck in this difficulty as long as you will believe that you are stuck.

If you think you have not enough of something, your reality will be the same as long as you do not change your mind about it; and this is true for everything you experience in your life. You think like this, because your environment is doing the same, according to what their physical senses have been telling them over and over.

Things have been working like that for centuries. But today, you can decide to chose your own beliefs, according to what you want to be true for yourself, and no longer live from the opinion of the mass.

For example, if it is about money, what you have just to do is believe that money if flowing to you abundantly. Believe it, no matter what your senses or people suggest to you. Do it over and over, even though nothing happens, believe it anyway, because it is your own choice.

If it is about health, job, promotion, relationship or whatever, do the same. Your beliefs are yours and they are personal. Live from them, always, and see them be reflected in your experiences.
