Our Wake-Up Call

When we check in with ourselves to determine what sort of 'vibes' we are giving out to the universe, do we find we are living from a standpoint of restriction or frustration? In what ways have we been holding ourselves back and playing it safe? What are we afraid to dream of? What old patterns keep coming up that are causing frustration or pain?

When we can answer those questions and honestly assess where we are (and not in a condemning or judgmental way, of course) we can begin the healing/revealing process and help unclog our high vibration, super-attracting pipes. What have you been attracting or creating in your life that needs to be unclogged?

For me, I've been creating from my false belief that I'm not enough and I have recently encountered situations where I feel like I'm not seen, not important, and not enough. These are small incidents and easy to toss aside and ignore; and I don't want to ignore them just in case I end up creating big incidents that I can't ignore. 

I'm choosing to consider these situations as a 'wake-up call' to step more boldly into my life as Source, and to consider I am actually dying to my belief that I am not enough and that this particular dragon is not going down without a last-ditch effort to fight! With this viewpoint, I can bring the high vibrational energy of joy, gratitude, and compassion to these experiences and transform them - and not get sucked into them.

What beliefs might you be dying to even though they may still be appearing in your life? Could they simply be the remnants of something old fading away?

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

Free yourself forever from the thought that God may be pleased by a life of sacrifice, that the world is any better because of your misery, or that righteousness is more perfectly expressed through poverty than abundance. Know that the greater abundance of every good thing which you are bringing out in your life, the more perfectly you are satisfying the Divine Urge within you. ANYTHING YOU CAN DREAM OF is not too great for you to undertake, if it hurts no one and brings happiness and good into your life         ~The Science of Mind

Feeling our Feelings

Have you ever felt flawed, cracked, damaged, and no good to anyone? Have you ever been consumed by thoughts of hopelessness and despair? While it may be true that we are never separated from God's love, during these times, we don't see it nor do we feel it. What's the answer? Do we wallow? Do we slap on a 'happy face' and pretend everything is okay? Do we eat or drink or sleep or zone out in some other way?

At times like these, New Thought platitudes are not very comforting. Well-meaning friends that question our consciousness or tell us to "fake it 'til we make it" or remind us that we created the situation in the first place generally fail to inspire, soothe, or help. We are generally not supported in feeling our negative feelings, so when they come up, we have to hide them or pretend they don't exist. 

Maybe a first step would be to give ourselves permission to feel our feelings - all of them! And we can be fully present in the feelings without having to play out worst-case scenarios in our minds - just be present in our feelings. And a second step could be to reach out to someone (like a minister or a practitioner) who can know the Truth for you without making your feelings wrong. 

When we are experiencing spiritual pain, our philosophy should help us and not hinder us. We shouldn't let the idea of having to appear to be 'perfect' stop us from reaching out and reaching up for support.

I wonder who could use your own special brand of compassion and understanding.

Transforming our Faith

We can talk and talk and talk about what our life will look like when we change our thinking; and we can speculate and speculate and speculate about our infinite possibilities and the field of pure potentiality, and the creative nature of the Divine, but until we apply these ideas that we talk about, nothing changes. 

When we are busy talking and speculating, we aren't practicing and we aren't consciously utilizing the principles we say we believe in. Faith must be lived and not just talked about. So often, we try something once or twice and if it doesn't work, we quickly give up and revert to our habitual thinking. Our faith is in the familiar and what we can see operating in our lives. 

It's time to stop looking to the outer and start looking within to see the love, faith, and wonder that we are. When we can transform our faith from judging by appearances to knowing that what is seen was created from what is unseen; transform our faith from believing the words of experts to tapping into and trusting our own genius; transform our faith in our stories that identify us and thinking we are small, limited, and flawed to understanding that we truly are wonderful and awesome beings  - then we can utilize all we talk about and all we speculate about and move these ideas into action in our lives (whew! that was some long sentence, huh?)

It might just be time to take a leap of faith and see what Spirit can do through you!

Wisdom from Ernest Holmes

It is not going to take any more faith than we now have, for one of the greatest lessons we can learn about faith is that we always possess it. But too often we are using it negatively. As a matter of fact, we are always affirming something, be it for good or for ill. We are always either saying, "I can," or "I cannot." What we need to do is to eliminate the negative and accentuate the positive. In doing this we shall gradually acquire the habit of affirmative thinking
