Creating by Default: Pictures of Torture

Good Morning Everyone!

Most of us create by default. We notice whatever passes by our awareness and fixate on that. That's what the news is; an opportunity to choose what we choose to give our attention to.

This morning in the McClatchy News is an article about the public viewing of pictures of torture.

Why anyone would want to see them is quite beyond my ken. Then again, I'm always wondering why people have to gawk at a car wreck or see horror films of blood and gore.

We are powerful focusers of Source Energy - Life Force. This is the energy that creates worlds and universes. What we focus on, we make bigger and get more of.
Do we want more bloodshed and torture? Do we really want more war?

All of war is hideous. Every single bit of it. To think that when we go to war for some "noble" cause that some parts of it can be legislated as legal and ok and other parts of it not legal, and therefore, not ok is insanity. You can't support war in part.

We are being called to a higher level of consciousness, and therefore a higher level of operating. There is another way, and as our consciousness of God increases and penetrates our human mind, we will see there are infinite other ways to create our reality on Earth.

Perhaps if you see these pictures of torture you will be so repulsed that you will desire a new way, a better way for resolving conflicts here on Earth. Perhaps that is the "good" in viewing such a thing.

For my part, I choose not to see them or anything like it. I choose to go through my day seeing the Life in all things and the God in all people.

We are directed in Matthew 5:44 "But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you."

How many of us actually pray for our enemies? Or bless those that trouble us? Or do Good to those who are hateful to us? This is applied spirituality in action. It is not moving in the ways of human mind and human understanding. Doing that results in more of the same. To see the change we want to see in this world, we have to BE the change that we want to see. You can't be that change for Good whilst filling your mind and consciousness with things that are not of Good.

Today, look for and see the Good and the God in all things, people and situations. If you can't immediately, then allow that you may not see it now but you will, because God (Good) is everywhere. Be willing to see with New Eyes, then you will see a New View.

A New Year's Prayer: Let Your Light Shine in 2008

Happy New Year World!

I've always ushered in a new year with contemplation and prayer. It seems a sacred time to me. A time to reflect back on my "works" of the past year; not just the mental and physical projects that I undertook, but the progress of allowing my Soul to permeate and transform my mental and physical works. (This blog is about applied spirituality, after all.) So after the contemplation, there is my evaluation, and after the evaluation comes my "prayers" which are the desires of my heart for the New Year.

The prayers of course begin with my desires for myself, my increased communion with my Godchip, the ever increasing spiritualization of my human mind being translated and communicated in my thoughts, words, and deeds. After that comes my "prayer" - my desires and wishes for others: family, friends, the world.

I pray for my "enemies". I think of "enemies" as those with whom I disagree, of course, which automatically implies their disagreement with me. I particularly love this part, because it brings soothing to me. I remember as I pray for them that they are God, too. That they are Love at their core, as well. My human mind wriggles about wanting to find a "solution" or "resolution", but my Soul knows that's where the magic happens and miracles abound. "Watch," it whispers, "just watch."

My prayers for the New Year 2008 center more around the continuing awakening of the individual to Who They Really Are: God having a physical experience on planet Earth. I see signs of this awakening everywhere. As institutions fail (government, health care, education), individuals are forced to look to themselves for answers, solutions and healing. Awaiting each and every one is their own Godchip, "ising" away It's Love, guidance, peace and fulfillment.
This is the silver lining in every cloud. One's Godchip is always there, having never left, and ready, willing and delighting in being back on your team.

In psychology It is called self esteem or confidence. This is what it feels like to be connected to your Godchip, for It is Who You Really Are. Full and replete with everything you ever needed.
Your personal Godchip is your personal I AM, connected to all the wisdom, all the joy, all the love, because it is just that: fulfilled.

Matthew 5:14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. 15 Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it giveth light unto all that are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven.

My prayer this New Year is my continued desire for the unfoldment of our individual and collective awakening. And I include everyone in this prayer, absolutely everyone.

It's all Good. (And remember, Good is a noun)

Happiest of New Years to us All!
