Becoming One With

A Greek philosopher from approximately 250 AD had some interesting comments regarding achieving enlightenment and fulfilling a desire for lasting happiness and well-being. He remarked that rather than looking at finding satisfaction from matter, that one’s attention should be directed toward a higher source of creation.
This philosopher believed that what you align yourself with, you become that. You become one with that which you desire to be or acquire. We might say that his viewpoint is very similar to the concept held by the American Indian. If you want to know how a bird or animal feels, you become that animal in your consciousness, through becoming and placing yourself within that being. That is knowing and not believing.
This philosopher believed that we are facing the wrong direction in our desires and thereby our energies are being aligned with a form of matter existing below us. If our attention would be focused toward our spiritual source, we will become that. Now this philosopher laid out a philosophical system that stepped down from the ONE source, which next created Spirit, or the energy and force underlying all existence, to a Soul which was individualized in each body of matter.
Plotinus believed that if we long to resonate with the energies that have created and sustained us that we would become one with these energies of greater awareness and ability. Now he remarked that we humans are always attempting to possess something. Today in our world it might be our desire to have the job, car, partner or home. Often, whether in Plotinus’s period or ours, we don’t quite seem to get it right and when we finally possess the item of our desire, it doesn’t always meet our expectations.
Plotinus stated that if you want to know something or achieve something you had to become that something. Now I realize it sounds a bit roundabout, but he was pointing out to not get lost in the contemplation of how to become something, but to place yourself in that state of awareness immediately. Or, “true contemplation is knowledge, not an attempt at knowing.”
“It is not seeing what we want, but sight. Not what has been created, but the Creator. Not signs of Spirit, but Spirit itself. Not thoughts of unity, but actual oneness.”
Of course it is easy for me to share these concepts with you but what might seem ‘heavy’ is merely a slight juxtaposition of awareness. It is the difference between the seer and what is seen, the hearer and what is heard, the know-er and what is known.
Now Spirit, the underlying aspect of all matter, we can become in resonance with if we are able to contemplate it deeply enough. How? Through the recognition that there is a life sustaining energy of existence that permeates everything. Everything! It is the same energy in substance behind all individualized things. This energy becomes individualized as a Soul as it animates matter. Can you see that all is connected and part of the One?
If you can recognize and resonate with the underlying energy of all things, then you become Spirit. Actually you already are that Spirit, so you are now recognizing that fact. You will know everything that Spirit knows, and whatever Spirit can do, which is anything and everything, you will be able to do that also to the degree of your awareness of this fact. You will have a more enhanced awareness of possibilities. You will create and desire to be a part of a larger and more profound creation.
Now this picture is meant to show you that it is about gentleness and beauty. It is about a greater knowing in all that you do. You become a more enhanced YOU. Sense of humor, greater. Sense of Self, greater. Sense of Health, greater. Sense of LOVE, GREATER.
It is about walking and not just talking. It is about being and not desiring to be. What you imagine, you become. Act as you desire to be. Nothing I’ve shared is new or different. These concepts have existed a very long time. Much longer than the many books that abound at this time. I actually feel that today there are too many new systems with too much new rhetoric stating concepts that were explained in a more direct and simply manner in the past.
Have a wonderful last couple of weeks in 2018. New Year’s resolution? What more is possible! I intend to spread more laughter, excitement, fun and love (LEFL) in 2019. So watch yourselves.
With love, in love and through love to you.

Being lighthearted can bring you enlightenment, so go ahead...

Tinkerbell’s light is fading, and has almost gone out.

In the wonderful little movie Peter Pan there was the scene where Tinkerbell had been poisoned and her light was going out. Next we heard, clap your hands if you believe in Fairies! Peter Pan was asking us to bring back the light, bring back the energy, and bring back the magic.

We are losing the idea of our own magical abilities, we are forgetting whom we are and what we are capable of manifesting within our world.

Go ahead now and clap your hand if you still have any belief in your own ability to create the magic in your own life. If you did clap with vigor and a loud sound, please continue on with your day of creating your life the way you want to be living it.

For those of us who did not take the moment to clap, let’s continue on.

Throughout time the wise people who have accomplished the manifesting of their dreams have recognized a very important part of their Being. This part that resides in all of us is our imagination. Imagination is that magic wand within us that allows us to bring into our consciousness that which we choose to create, become, manifest and align ourselves with, to and become a part of.

Eastern mystics have been more overt in their writings with their systems of gurus and saints because one’s dwelling upon these people helps an individual to align themselves with these people who have demonstrated great love or special abilities. Most of this has been lost in the West do to the fact that Jesus has been placed on such a high pedestal that people often can’t relate to this great soul.

J. R. Newton, the great healer of the 1800s who healed 250,000 people through his ministry of love, stated that as to his power of healing, ‘it is a demonstration of the power of love. I tell someone I love them, I show them I love them, and if they believe and feel this, the disease must depart.’

Now if you believe that love has this power, then please clap your hands! Please clap your hands loudly if you want the light of love to become brighter. The testimonials for Dr. Newton’s cures were written by mayors, sheriffs, judges, lawyers and newspaper editors. They did happen! Love did find a way of curing and healing.

My post is not just about using love, it is about what you believe. It doesn’t matter about who or what group has been involved with lessening the belief in your own light, the point is that you are the one that is responsible and in charge of your own light. Clap your hands if you understand. You are the light, you are the only person that can lessen or brighten your own light.

When you become aware of whom you are and what you are capable of doing, your world will change and become what you desire. Why wait for someone else or something else to come and change your world. Imagine and create your world NOW. That’s right you have the light and power within to change your outer world. Clap your hands if you would like this to become your reality.

It is not just religious and spiritual people who have this light, it is captains of industry and others who have realized that what you desire and what you focus upon will manifest in this world. Everyone possesses the light of magic. Some people’s light shines so brightly that they just take it for granted that they will manifest whatever they desire. Others of us have lost sight of our light.

So again I ask you to clap if you believe in your own light of magic. Do you believe in your own light? How hard are you clapping now?

Have a beautiful day and may your light become brighter.

With love, in love and through love to you.
