Principles Governing our lives
We are all connected.
We are all one. The energy of Spirit/God/ Goddess/All That Is flows through us all.
This energy is the difference between life and death. When we are alive, we have this
energy flowing through us. This is why Spirit/God/Goddess/All That Is is
called “The Creator”--it creates us or gives us life.
There is enough to go around.
We are smart enough and have enough resources to provide for every living thing. Remember we are all one.
What we do to others we do to ourselves. Share. Help others. Appreciate others. Be kind. They are you.
Remember: you receive from the world what you give to the world. What you want, give away, and it will come home to you.
We create our reality.
Our thoughts and beliefs create our reality, and our thoughts & beliefs are a result of how we choose to perceive.
We choose. We can choose our state of mind. We choose our thoughts, our emotions, & our actions.
Therefore, we create our reality; we are responsible for what is occurring.
Remember: it is what you BE that determines who you are, not what you do. We need to be what it is we say we want.
Love.
There are only two emotions: love and fear--you can choose one or the other.
When we are in our “true,” aligned state, we are love. Love of self is critical
for a positive state of mind. You can only love others as much as you are capable of loving yourself.
Alignment
is critical. This means we are aligned with our soul and our purpose. Alignment means we are
in touch with our higher selves, our soul, our oneness and we, therefore, will do the ethical thing.
If we act from an aligned place, we are also doing what is “right” for others, because when
we are aligned, we are also connected to others with the energy of God/Goddess/Spirit/All That Is.
Energy.
Everything has an energetic body which is impacted by its physical, spiritual, and (if appropriate)
emotional states. Understanding the condition of our energetic body facilitates an understanding
of how to align with our spirit and our soul purpose. Our energy is a reflection of our state of
mind, spirit, and physical body and our state of mind, spirit, physical body impacts what occurs
with our energy. Systems, groups, and organizations also have an energetic body. This, too, can be
understood and aligned. We are influenced by the energy of those around us. Awareness is critical
if we want to maintain ourselves and our alignment when we are in the presence of others who are
not in line. Working with our energy and seeing that it stays aligned in these situations, helps
us to reduce negative influence.
Consciousness.
It is impossible not to have an impact. Knowing this, and knowing that we are all
connected (all one), it is important to be aware of what we do and how that impacts
others and the universe. Awareness creates responsibility and choice. It requires
observation of and honesty to ourselves and to others regarding what we see and feel.
Dichotomy.
The dichotomy of life creates our understanding of life. Our sadness, anger, or discomfort
help us to understand happiness, love and comfort. They provide us with the understanding
we need to evolve. Just as Jesus and Hitler give us dichotomous ideas regarding what we can
choose to be like as a human. Understanding the dichotomy provides us with choice, provided
we are “conscious.”
Emotions.
Our emotions are barometers for how well we are aligned with our
soul purpose. If we are content, we are doing well. If we are
unhappy, angry, we are not doing so well. This does not mean we are
always comfortable, for sometimes life lies beyond what is
comfortable. We need to learn to listen to ourselves. We need to
learn to love ourselves. Ask, Why am I angry/upset/unhappy? Be
willing to dig deep. Flow with the essence of who we are and be in
the here and now.
The Past.
Our emotions are impacted by our experience with, and our attachments to, our past.
This can dull our ability to listen to and love ourselves, and thus limits our ability
to know and follow our soul purpose. It is important to understand ourselves and our
patterns that exist as a result of our past pains and hurts. These pains inhibit our
ability to live in the here and now. These pains and patterns can be understood and released.
When they are released, we can see and feel more clearly, and are free to love ourselves
and follow our soul path.
Thankfulness and Forgiveness
are the emotions that lead to the most contentment in life. Being in the place of gratitude draws to
you even more of that for which you are thankful, which in turn produces even more contentment.
Forgiveness allows us to let go. Practice gratitude and forgiveness daily.
Evolution.
We are all attempting to evolve. It is possible to find joy in all of it--in order to do this,
we have to get “out” of ourselves; we need to observe ourselves; practice not taking ourselves
so seriously; see our connection to others and spirit, meditate, understand death (for then we
can appreciate all of life). Observe the learnings and the positives experienced through the
difficult. And be thankful for the difficulties and resulting lessons.
