Claim What's Yours

“You have brains in your head. You have feet in your shoes.
You can steer yourself any direction you choose.
You're on your own. And you know what you know.
And YOU are the one who'll decide where to go...”

―Dr. Seuss, Oh, The Places You'll Go!

We've all been in places that we'd rather not be. But how many of us would still be there if we KNEW a fool proof way to make today's glass ceiling tomorrow's foundation?

The proof of the pudding is in the eating, -or- you have to eat it to know what's in it! 

My point is that, although it's possible to read something and understand it completely, you cannot accomplish what you're intending through understanding alone. Conscious action is necessary- whether in the form of visualization, physical doing, attitude accountability, creating new habits, cutting cords with toxic relationships and substances, etc.

ॐ

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got.

Try something different:

Reach outside of your comfort zone

and apply your will, motivation, effort, and habits

towards what you want to create for yourself and your life.

You cannot get to where you want to be if you do not will it.

You cannot begin to move in the direction of your dreams

if you don't take it upon yourself to motivate yourself.

You cannot achieve what you want to accomplish without applying effort.

And you cannot apply effort if you keep giving in to your same old, oppressive habits.

Take responsibility for your life,

accountability for your actions and happiness,

and claim freedom now. 

I came across an amazing page today in search of something for a loved one that reminded me of the power we carry within ourselves, that most of us have forgotten about. It's the unlimited power to create anything we choose~ you can read it here.

At the above link Stefan states, "If you fail to learn to use the law of attraction, you’ll continue to struggle and manifest bad things in your life.  If you can learn to take advantage of it, you possess the ability to create and manifest anything you want in your life."

Basically, if you don't watch what you think, believe, do,  desire, or expect to the degree of abolishing destructive or debilitating subconscious patterns and ways of being, you'll continue to witness your life going in directions other than what you would want for yourself. 

There's more to manifesting than simply holding the vision in your mind, although visualization alone is extremely helpful in helping one to achieve goals.

To take advantage of the Law of Attraction:

define your dream: know what you want

get clear on what is desired

believe in your ability to manifest anything you desire

believe that it's not only possible, but already on it's way

create goals in alignment with desires and beliefs

take action in alignment with pulling the vision into physical existence

let go of the outcome while you focus on your goals

while letting go of being attached to how they manifest

  

I know it sounds easier said than done, but that's where practice comes into play.

L I T E R A L L Y, play. Have fun with it!

The more enjoyment you get out of what you're focusing on,

the more you can feel the passion you have for it and the joy it would give you,

the faster it will become real to you.

"Unless you consciously choose a different future, your past will decide it for you."

—Rod Stryker

Here's couple more powerful statements from Stefan: "If I didn’t have the success I have now, then I would have told you that it’s B.S.  But because I have undeniable evidence and have experienced it working for me first-hand, I am a believer.  I attribute the law of attraction to helping me to create everything I have in my life – the good and the bad.  I take full responsibility for everything that happens for me, the good and bad, as I truly believe that I’ve created and manifested EVERYTHING." and "The way the law of attraction works is simple:  Likes attract likes.  A vibration will attract a similar vibration. The closer the vibrational match, the stronger the magnetic pull. Whatever frequency that you put out is being pulled back towards you, or is attracted to you."

This may sound like a new age idea, woo woo, too much work, or too mystical to be practical or even real- but what do you have to lose by really applying the effort it takes to see if it works for you or not, other than something to complain about or remain in misery over? 

What's a commitment of four to six weeks of continual practice towards the life of your dreams in the grand scheme of things? It's small and doable for everyone!

The concepts I'm speaking of here have been said throughout history by some of the world's leading masterminds who have reinvented the world as we know it. The only reason it may seem so foreign is because of the agenda to keep people on the hamster wheel, which we may step off of anytime we're ready. 

If you need more proof that this concept has worked for others, you can do a quick internet search and pages upon pages of results will pop up in less than a second in most cases with account after account of the Law of Attraction working for them.

I can honestly say from my own personal experience that it does actually work. I've seen the good and the bad and it has all come from my mindset, intentions, and actions. The good shows up when I apply my ability to focus, make decisions based on what is truly best for me, and use my mind's eye to visualize what I want more of. The same is for the opposite. If my intentions are no good, I'm lazy and playing small or a victim, and my thoughts are made of piss and vinegar~ that's what I get.

It's comfortable to fall into the limited mindset of judgment, dismissal, or falling into the countless reasons of why it won't work for you. Push through those limits by reviewing the beliefs you carry around manifestation, universal laws, and anything that's outside of your current scope of awareness regarding similar subjects.

One cannot manifest what is wanted when they don't first believe that they can.

"Your very intention to keep believing, even in the face of challenges, will often be enough to carry you through any rough spots and keep you focused on the outcome you want." ―David Hooper, author of The Rich Switch - The Simple 3-Step System to Turn on Instant Wealth Using the Law of Attraction

When you have the desire and believing in yourself parts down, the action plan will almost manifest itself because your harmony with it is building momentum towards its manifestation.

A profound statement made by Napoleon Hill in his 1937 unedited edition of Think and Grow Rich, “When faith [by which he meant belief] is blended with the vibration of thought, the subconscious mind instantly picks up the vibration, translates it into its spiritual equivalent, and transmits it to the Infinite Intelligence, as in the case of prayer.”

And more profound statements on manifesting came from Claude Bristol, author of The Magic of Believing in 1948, “We are moulded also by the thoughts of others; by what we hear in our social life, what we read in newspapers, magazines, and books, what we hear in the movies, the theatre, and on the radio; even by chance remarks from the conversation of bystanders --and these thoughts bombard us constantly. Some of them that accord with our own inmost thoughts and also open the way to greater visions in our life are helpful. But often there are thoughts that are upsetting, that weaken our self-confidence, and turn us away from our high purposes. It is these outside thoughts that are the trouble makers, and later I shall point out how you can keep free of them." "However, I would like to point out that hard work alone will not bring success. The world is filled with people who have worked hard but have little to show for it. Something more than hard work is necessary: It is creative thinking and firm belief in your ability to execute your ideas. The successful people in history have succeeded through their thinking. Their hands were merely helpers to their brains.” ―Claude M. Bristol, The Magic of Believing

Believe in You.

I Am Authentic

How am I so happy and yet so sad at the same time?

What’s wrong with wanting all my reasons to rhyme?

I look in the mirror grateful that I survived

and simultaneously wonder how I’m alive

How much suffering can one person take?

If I’m not being crucified, I’m burned at the stake.

What’s wrong with wanting all suffering to end?

Why is that most only have one true friend, if that?

How many people must I be forced to walk away from?

Why do I want to feel when I’ve always wanted to be numb?

What has changed in me that’s causing this revolution?

How did I break free from the institution…

that broke me into a million tiny pieces

and told me salvation lies in my thesis?

 ➳

My worth isn’t found in textbooks or assignments

or in someone else’s interpretation of my alignment

with who I know, where I'm going, and where I’ve been

or the balance between my yang and my yin.

I determine my value and where I’m going,

whether I’m growing or whether I’m towing

baggage from thoughts I refuse to heal

or letting them go in order to reveal

exactly who I Am.

Limitless, powerful, sexual, and expansive~

I Am.

The Return to Light

Hell Has Many Mansions. —Marianne Williamson

Love casts out fear like light casts out darkness. Violence, war, crime, and oppression affects every living thing on this planet. Plants, trees, animals, water, children, men, women, EVERYONE & EVERYTHING suffers when we abuse our power and allow others to abuse theirs towards us.

We cannot change people, but we can stand up for what we believe in and we can intervene when we witness human rights being violated and our world being raped and pillaged by greedy corporations and people.

Change comes from within. 

{God} is love within. Whether we allow love in or not is our choice and when we choose to be one with love, life is amazing. 

It doesn’t have to be called God, but that’s what it is. Peace comes from loving and it’s very difficult to love with a closed heart and mind!

I’m a spiritual person, and I like researching the metaphors of the christian bible. 

For example, Adam and Eve were happy living in their beautiful world until the “snake” came along and persuaded Eve to eat of the knowledge of good and evil, meaning perfect love was present until judgment and a half-closed heart came into the picture.

Hence, the Fall of mankind.

Enter doubt, judgement, guilt, shame, anger, fear, distress, emotional pain, obsession, envy, rage, anxiety, depression, contempt, sadness, disgust, disappointment, worry, revenge, grief, withdrawal, blame, control, perfectionism, embarrassment, pride, crime, violence, war, oppression, and hatred.

To surrender means to ask for help; To Let go and Let Love lead the way. We co-create through love, willingness, non-judgment, and by believing that a power greater than ourselves can restore our ability to mentally grasp harmonious ways of being and living to bring us closer together.

There is no I in team and not one of us can take on injustice alone. 

For this reason, we must be unshakeable. Unshakeable in truth, love, awareness, and faith. We all face situations and circumstances that render us unnerved. We’ve all experienced some degree of abuse and violence, even if we think our lives have always been perfect. 

We’ve had to look fear in the eye more than once, more than ten times, more than a hundred. 

We’ve all had a reason to doubt keeping faith and pressing forward. We’ve all had our patience tried numerous times and we’ve all felt like a hot mess, defeated, worn-out, and like we couldn’t relate to anyone else. We’ve all felt alone.

And it’s all okay.

—ALL OF IT—

The agitating, bewildering, discouraging, terrifying, weak moments that we’ve experienced do not define us. The deep, isolating journey many of us have known and endured has been long and cruel— but there is a Light at the end of the tunnel, guiding us home to Love.

Oppression is internal, as external as it may seem. It’s paralyzing and disgusting, and it renders us fearful, limited, and self-loathing. It makes us do crazy things and keeps us from bliss, joy, happiness, love, and pleasure.

Happiness spreads your wings, joy lifts you off the ground, bliss carries you everywhere you can imagine wanting to go, and pleasure is the external experience of the body and senses.

Bliss is being-ness, free from duality where no words can describe the elation and no opposite can be imagined. It’s our natural state of being.

Joy comes from the soul and is sourced from within. No outside circumstance or situation creates joy, but it IS reflected outwards around us. It’s created and nurtured by inner-security and an attitude of gratitude.

Happiness is in the mind and usually needs an external trigger to feel it, although it isn’t purely necessary. Just as we can think ourselves healthy, we can think ourselves happy.

If we want to go deeper, we can delve into OM and I Am. 

ૐ

OM, AhhOhhhMMMMM, is the primordial sound of creation. No other mantra matches its resonance in the human body. When OM and its frequency are sent through a cymatic device, it creates a perfect circle with no end and no beginning. It is a multi-faceted, universal, and infinite sound, creating depth, connectedness, and healing.

“Om is an experience rather than an arbitrary verbal label. It is a true symbol charged with numinous power. Experienceable in deep meditation, it is a sign of the omnipresence of Ishvara [the Divine] as manifest on the level of sound. . . . In other words, the human voice is employed to reproduce a “sound” which is continually “recited” by the universe itself — an idea, which in the Pythagorean School came to be known as the “harmony of the spheres.” —Georg Feuerstein 

I Am is pure presence and creation. It is the mystical heart, the permanent atom of being, our true identity; The God within. It can never be separated from us, no matter what we believe. 

Self-limiting beliefs and destructive thoughts are all that stands between who really are and who we perceive ourselves to be. We are not the fragile mortals we’ve been led to believe we are. We are immortal; Only the body can die.

Our personal experience of evolution and what we go through in our lives is all meant to propel us into the realization of our True Self. All we really need is truly within us. 

We can get caught up in how things that happen feel and it can throw us off track and lead us to believe that we always have to be on guard to protect ourselves.

The trouble with this is that it leaves our hearts half open and keeps us in a state of constant fear, worry, doubt, and confusion. 

Through spiritual alchemy and forgiveness of self and others, we can transcend matters of the third dimension and ascend into the higher realms of bliss, healing, and living where real power, love, and wisdom reside.

We can set the sacred, ever burning flame in our hearts ablaze through making conscious choices, by practicing mindfulness, and with self-awareness that leads to self-mastery. We care for this fire through clarity, unicity, innocence, consciousness, alive silence, truth, and spontaneity, which also balances karma. And we share this fire with all whom we meet along the way.

Let’s walk towards the Light at the end of the tunnel together.

Will you Vow to keep the Sacred Flame burning in Your heart?
