A series of affirmations to assist you on your journey to
Spiritual Understanding:
Problems as Lessons
The meaning to life on this third-dimensional world is to discover
my true Self. I Am a multi-dimensional being of pure light energy. I express
myself in a body of matter in order to progress through challenge and gain the
necessary experience to raise my vibrations and merge with the Source. I
welcome all problems and see each of them as stepping stones to higher
awareness. Accepting and understanding each lesson enables me to find the pearl
of wisdom within each problem, leading me a step closer to home.
True Intention
It is through aligning my intention with the highest will that all
my future needs and circumstances will be created. A strongly willed intent to
always walk in the light of truth and love will surely manifest as peace and
happiness within my reality. Because of my intent to overcome ego and manifest
only divine will on this material plane, I have the God-given right to expect
the divine to abundantly provide for me. My intention is focused on the
ultimate goal - Unity.
Connected Oneness
I am constantly aware of my connection to All That Is. I resonate
with everything around me each time I reverently honour the beautiful tapestry
that is Creation. I have always been, and will always be, an essential part of
the Whole. There is no separation. The Creator and I are One. I am the
microcosm within the macrocosm - an evolving cell within the body of the
Creative Source. We are inseparably joined, united in oneness. I Am never alone
for I Am at One with the entire Omniverse.
Unconditional Love
A mother loves her child unconditionally. She doesn't judge her
child because she sees the child as a part of her own being. Similarly, I'm
learning to look upon all my fellow men as parts of my being, and love them all
unconditionally, warts and all. Unconditional love is freedom to be. It's not
to be confused with the possessive love with which some people smother and/or
tether their partners. There are no restrictions and no conditions on love.
Thoughts, words and actions
I continually make the effort to transcend ego and think only pure
thoughts, speak only pure words and act in an understanding and love-centred
manner. My thoughts, words and actions shape my reality, and so I endeavour to
remind myself of this truth every minute of every day by doing and saying unto
others as I would like others to do and say unto me. I make it my choice to
think of others in a loving light. Love made manifest will then be reflected
back to me.
Laughter and Joy
Existence was meant to be a joyful experience. A heavy heart full
of self-pity, envy, anger or jealousy is a weight dragging one down into the
dense vibrations of darkness. The vibrationary lightness of laughter sets me
free and enables me to raise my personal vibrationary tone. The harmonics of
joy vibrating within my inner being will eventually reach and resonate in tune
with my higher Self. This merging, this harmonic convergence, is the joyful
unification with All That Is.
Recognizing Truth
Many a being will profess to utter truths and many an ear will
listen, but the true barometer of Truth is the heart.
When a truth is uttered, my heart will respond with an inner
knowing. On a soul level I have access to every truth in Creation, so when I
hear a truth, the heart, my soul centre, will resonate in harmony with the
higher vibrations of that truth.
Words of lower vibrations cannot "ring my bells". If it
doesn't ring true in my heart, I choose to release it without judgement.
Stilling the Ego
I must consciously strive to overcome and still the selfish
desires of the altered-ego. The Law of Polarity states two types of ego exist
on this plane; one is the divine ego, the positive spark of the God-force
within me, and the other is the altered ego, the negative aspect of my personality. Doubt,
fear, greed and pride are just some of the negative energies that drive the
altered ego. I strive to still this negativity and allow humility and love
their rightful place and purpose in my life.
My Signature Note
Each of us emits our own personal vibrationary note or tone. The
Law of Resonance states I will attract into my reality people and events
operating upon a similar frequency to mine. My goal, and that of all mankind,
is to continue to raise this level of vibration until it resonates in tune with
the higher vibrationary frequencies of Christ Consciousness. That moment of
Unity will bring to an end any need for further reincarnation. Light is
vibrational energy: I Am that energy. I Am the Light.
The Silent Witness
I will not become an emotional prisoner of events. Events are
meaningless until my lower mind allocates an emotion-driven reaction to the
event. Most emotions are based on a collection of habits and memories - a set
of learned responses to a particular thought pattern. I have learnt to observe
events through the eyes of a silent witness. While the emotion-driven lower
self will judge the event, the God-self allows it to unfold polarity free.
Allowance validates all events.
Conflicting Personalities
The damaged child, the confused teenager, the career-driven
worker, the loving partner, the guiding parent - all these inner personalities
and many more, want to experience life through me. No single personality within
this clamouring crowd can ever find complete fulfilment because each carries
excess baggage in the form of memories and attachments to the past. When I
acknowledge, then release all past memory attachments, I transcend personality
into pure awareness.
Limitless Horizons
No matter where I go and where I stand, I always remain the centre
of my Universe. The same infinity extends in all directions. Therefore every
relative point in the cosmos becomes the one point, a focus for infinity in all
directions. Limitless oneness. Space can't be boxed and measured, nor can time.
If the present moment is eternal, all events must occur in the one
instantaneous moment. One point is every other point surrounded by infinite
Isness. I Am that one point.
Emotional Love
I might say "I am in Love" but what I am really saying
is that an image I carry around inside has been satisfied. If I lack love for
my Self, I form an image to fill that void. If I am shunned or betrayed by my
beloved, any pain I suffer is because the gapping wound of my own need becomes
exposed. Emotional love is based on an inner image of what love is thought to
be. Loving unconditionally is being able to love beyond mere form. Love is not
attachment - it just IS.
Desire
There is nothing "unspiritual" about desire. However,
the struggle in which we sometimes embroil ourselves, blocks the energy needed
to make the desire a reality. We believe we have to work, worry and struggle to
get what we want. Like the person struggling to remember a name, but getting
nowhere, people thrash wildly to fulfil desires, never realizing that effort is
the problem, not the solution. Surrender - allow the desire to be, then let go.
The Universe will provide when the time is right.
Knowing or Believing
Knowing is a feeling of recognition within my heart. A belief
system is based on intellectual evaluation. A belief is limited thinking -
weighed, evaluated, labelled and compartmentalized. When challenged by the
winds of change, some believers seek comfort within the safety of their
dogmatic belief systems. Fear of the unfamiliar creates resistance to change. I
Am learning to feel the nudge of knowing within my heart. Ego may bolster
beliefs - knowing manifests in Truth.
Spontaneity
Life really is unpredictable, but because of past programming, I
sometimes mistakenly try to impose some sort of restrictive order in my life.
This is because the ego feels comfortable with a sense of order, but threatened
by disorder. I have continually tried to control the uncontrollable. But by
letting go, going with the flow and giving up control, I open up to the
potential possibilities of a spontaneous, unpredictable future. I live in trust
- I let go - and let God.
Relative Reality
The world around me, everything I perceive, is relative - entirely
related to MY senses. What I smell, touch, taste, feel, hear and intuit. My
perception of the world, and life in general, is entirely based on the
viewpoint of personality, which, because of its ego-based individuality, cannot
be TRUE reality. Spiritually-based reality (true reality), doesn't depend upon
a viewpoint - it just IS! A true perception of reality is seeing the world as
it is, and just allowing it to BE!
Limitless Expansion
As an unlimited expression of the Creator, I Am more than just my
body, more than just my conscious mind. My divine expression of Self is but one
facet of my limitless true being. The veil of forgetfulness and fear is being
lifted and I now step forward into unlimited expansion of Self. In truth I am a
powerful, multi-dimensional being, no less than the trees and the stars, and
the Universe IS unfolding as it should. There is no beginning, there is no end.
All is limitless expansion.
Synchronized Symphonies
In truth there are no coincidental events. Everything happens for
a reason. People and events are brought together in a synchronized manner. Plans and agreements are drawn up on a
soul level in order to further each individual's spiritual development. Meticulous timing in higher realms
will bring about a synchronized coming together on the physical plane. All is
pre-planned. Incidents are carefully orchestrated in order to gain inner wisdom
through learning experiences.
Free will and free mind
My God-given right of a free will and free mind provides me with
the power to create my own path through life. Giving up my empowerment to the
will of others is to be avoided at all costs. Unblinkered, I will listen with
tolerance to what others have to say, but discernment and intuition will
prevent me from wandering off my own individual path. I will not become part of
the fearful herd, but strive to uncover my life's plan by listening to my own
inner feelings.
Judgement
Within the knowledge of true perception there is no right or
wrong. Everything happens for a reason. To judge an event or person as good or
bad, right or wrong is to dwell in the world of duality. Judging one polarity
as being of greater value than the other only creates an imbalance, and so I
continually exercise my freedom of choice. I choose to see all events as
learning experiences. My non-judgemental acceptance of events and of others
will be reflected back to me.
True Perception
True perception is centred awareness. Knowing and understanding
the difference between separation and oneness. The ego's false perception
suggests I am a being separated from the Creator by distance. True perception
opens the heart to the truth - that I am one with Creation. Each of us are, for
the time being, fragmented parts of the whole. Each is an extension of pure
creational energy expressing itself in matter until all learning in the school
of life is completed. Fully realized, we then return home.
Allow and Validate
Each time a stressful situation presents itself, I allow the
relevant emotion to surface and be recognized before I respond. If anger
surfaces, I allow and validate its existence, then explore the opportunity
being presented. Neutrally balanced, I then respond with my chosen, mediating
preference - patient understanding. By taking responsibility for the scenario
created, by conceding ownership, I am able to experience the finer vibration of
the preferred reality.
All is valid, else it would not be.
Contentment through Purpose
Because of a thorough understanding of my connection to All That
Is, my lower four body system has increased its light quotient and vibrational
frequency. Higher levels of vibration elevate me to higher levels of connected
awareness. With expanded awareness comes a growing understanding of who I Am
and where I'm headed. Contentment provides a balance and an absence of fear.
Contentment lies in aligning with my life's true purpose - Oneness with
Creation.
Attachment
All and any attachments to material objects, past events and other
people serve only to hinder and limit my growth. True happiness does not lie
outside of me. I choose to accept myself as I Am, knowing I Am growing into the
Light more and more with each unlimited loving thought. The deluded altered ego
sees the collection of outside attachments as collected happiness. The divine
ego sees them as illusion. Free of encumbering attachments, I will soar beyond
limitation into a full awareness of Self.
Detachment
Whenever I feel anxious about the role I am playing in this
production called LIFE, I consciously detach myself from the drama. Temporarily
stepping off the stage, I realize that as well as being one of the actors, I am
also a co-writer of the play. Each actor writes his or her role in the play. As
a co-creator of the drama, I have the power to re-write my part at any time. I
am also the director and can choose the direction my character takes in the
play. I am solely responsible and in control.
Balance
The perfect balance of polarities results in a state of
equilibrium. I maintain a balanced state of mind where everything has an equal
right to be. I live a life of simple acceptance. I live in a state of being in
which my mind is totally unconcerned with judging people or conditions. I am
aware that any situation or condition is but an expression of the Source, hence
it is valid. I accept fear and love as equal parts of the whole. All is valid,
otherwise it would not be.
Preferences
In my world of true perception there are no winners, no losers,
only participants in life acting out their chosen role upon the world stage. A
silver coin has two sides - opposites. The two sides are essential parts of the
whole. I might prefer the coin displayed two heads, but my judgement-free
preference and choice does not affect the worth of the coin in any way. To
prefer one situation over another is an acceptable choice as long as I do not
attempt to judge and devalue the less preferred option.
A focused, healthy attitude
At all times, I maintain a healthy, happy attitude to life. Rather
than bemoan the trials and tribulations of life, I choose to embrace all
difficulties as opportunities to grow. I see lack simply as an opposite
polarity to abundance. I live in faith of the Universe providing all my needs
at all times. The Law of Supply states that a fearful focus on loss and/or
limited supply, will manifest the very thing that is feared - lack. I don't
stand apart from anything. Lacking nothing, I Am a part of everything!
Sowing Abundance
I understand the difference between wants and needs. I have faith
in an abundant Universe which provides everything in direct proportion to my
needs. I am thankful for whatever I have in life rather than complain about
things I don't have. Expending energy by worrying about lack will only focus
that energy and manifest more lack. I choose to focus on spiritual development
by giving love and service to others. Only
by giving can one expect to receive.
The Awakening
The great awakening is under way! Restrictive and negative thought
forms are giving way to the new higher vibrations of Light. All around me
others are slowly awakening to their divine purpose. The time has come to put
aside judgements, join together and support one another. All pathways are now
leading to the one destination - Unity Consciousness. I am opening myself to
allow wisdom and guidance to awaken me into a greater awareness of who I Am.
The Stillness of Time
The eternal now moment is open-ended, with no beginning and no
ending.
In multi-dimensional reality, the past, present and future all
exist in the now moment. Illusionary linear time moves forward when I worry
about the future and backwards when I remember the past. My thoughts create the
illusion of time in motion. The now moment is constantly recreating itself to
do with as I choose. I prefer to use this now moment to choose happiness rather
than fear.
Mirror Reflections
Everyone and everything is a reflection of who I Am. We are all
One. The ego sees individuals, the Self sees integral parts of the whole. To
gain a clearer understanding of another is to see them through non-judging
eyes. I accept that they are just like me, a divine being creating and
experiencing life. By allowing them to just be, I free both them and myself. I
honour their validity as equal expressions of the Source. In the absence of
judgement, the clarity of true perception is reflected by one and all.
Conscious Awareness
I can't change the world, but by changing the way I think, I can
change the way I perceive the world. The conscious observance of the marvels
around me serve to remind me of my inner greatness, my spiritual connection to
All That Is. True perception tells me every living thing IS the Universe, each
wearing a different disguise.
The miracle of a new-born baby, a bird in flight or the majesty of
a star-filled night sky exemplifies Creation in motion. Conscious awareness has
me connected to it all.
Honouring Others
Rich man, beggar, criminal or saint - all have their valid
right to be. By looking past the exterior of each character in the play, I can
see the bigger picture. Each player is acting out yet another episode in their
self-scripted drama called Life. My ego may wish to judge, but I honour others
by recognizing their Oneness with All That Is. I simply allow them to be.
I now acknowledge and honour my unified connection with ALL life
forms, both here on Earth and in the infinite Cosmos.
I Am Responsible
I Am not a victim. As a co-creator on a soul level, I Am
responsible for whatever occurs in my life, be it trouble or be it joy. I do
not blame others and have learnt to look for the pearl of wisdom within each
scripted drama.
Once I recognize and accept the lessons to learn, I move forward
in growth and knowledge. I welcome all opportunities to grow. I transform
fearful situations into learning experiences by accepting full responsibility
for their creation.
Cause and Effect - Karma
Karma is not a moral issue of what's 'right' or 'wrong'. Morality
is a human creation. The Universe does not judge. Newton's third law of motion
states, "For every action
there is an equal and opposite reaction." It's karmic equivalent would be, "You receive from the world
what you give to the world." Karma
of the soul is created and balanced by the total activities of the soul's
twelve personalities. The balancing of that energy may not always happen within
one lifetime.
Accepting Loss
I can't lose anything because the only thing I've ever really had
is my Self. Objects and possessions come and go - what always remains is the
Self. Everything in Creation is made of energy - a house, a pile of money, a
relationship. Some egos struggle to defend these objects from dissolution. We
don't make a cloud develop and fade - it just happens. The ego readily accepts
this natural law, but not about things it gets attached to. Universal law
governs ALL aspects life.
Tolerance
Everything around me, all of Creation, is Universal Energy (God)
in motion. Every person is the Creator personified, and so I choose to honour
the divinity in each person I meet. Because they are just like me, I understand
the divinity in whatever it is they are creating or experiencing. Reverence of
the God in others engenders tolerance within me. By negating the programming of
the intolerant ego, the divine Self will lovingly choose to tolerate,
understand and forgive.
Changing my World
Change is the catalyst for growth. As my understanding grows, it
allows me to embrace change without fear. I am learning to adapt to change and
rid myself of old habits which have impeded my progress. I intentionally ask
for changes to be brought into my life which are for my highest good. Only through
change, the renewing of my mind, will I quicken my progress towards Unity. Only through transformation can my
purpose, my life mission on Earth, be finally fulfilled.
Surrender in Faith
Unity, oneness with All That Is, is not a destination. I am not
going from 'here to there' because there is nowhere to go. The 'journey' is a
belief. I have always been united with All That Is. Most of us are trying to
struggle free, but it's the struggle that holds us back. I needn't struggle to
be free, but simply BE "struggle-free". By letting go and focussing
on the simplicity of non-striving, non-resisting surrender, the heart will hear
and see what the ears and eyes could not - Oneness.
Doorways to Awareness
All painful pitfalls and disturbing experiences in my life are
potential doorways to higher awareness. Each such created episode offers me a
chance to see beyond the illusionary "hard-luck" stories of life.
Within every negative event is the opportunity to challenge the emotion of fear
and wisely choose love instead. True perception identifies each fear as it is
presented, and I am empowered with an awareness that enables me, via a
God-centred faith, to transmute fear to love.
Transformation
The caterpillar transforms itself into a butterfly. This seemingly
miraculous change is effortless and struggle-free. Evolutionary change is the
inevitable destiny for all mankind; from tragic to magic; separation to
oneness; fear to love; ignorance to enlightenment. My inner knowingness has
changed. Where I once saw fear and struggle, I now see love and understanding.
My metamorphosis has begun. I have now stepped out of the shadows and into the
Light.
Intuition
True intuition resonates to the vibration of Truth. The foundation
of all truth is love. By attuning my mind to my God-centred inner being, I
become completely open to true intuition. Living in the knowing of Universal
Love, my being vibrates in resonance with Creation, allowing me to identify and
utilize true intuitive powers. If motivated by ego, I lack clarity and true
understanding of each lesson presented to me. Speculation is of the ego,
intuition is of the Divine
Embracing Fear
I have broken down the barriers of fear. My altered ego used fear
as a barrier to the Truth. My divine ego allows me to embrace all fears the
moment they are born in the mind. Fear is but a thought-provoked emotion. By
learning to balance fear with love - its opposite polarity, I see all of life
through the knowing eyes of true perception. I do not overcome fear by pushing
it away. I allow fear its validity, but I choose not to empower fear. I prefer
to choose calm inner peace. Balance has its centre in choice.
Who am I?
I Am a higher consciousness who has chosen to descend into matter
in order to experience. I Am a being of Light who, through the veil of third
density duality, is attempting to recall my true purpose here on Earth during
this period of change. I Am a spark of the divinity of God. I Am unconditional,
all encompassing love. I Am peace and power and Truth. Knowing who I Am, I will
shine my light brightly so that others may see and recognize their own
divinity.
I live in the moment
The present is eternal because it is ever-renewing. The present has
no ending. Each now moment is the present re-creating itself over and over
again. My past is a collection of excess baggage; old memories and habits that
obstruct and hinder me on my path. The old makes way for the new. Each now
moment is the new world in creation. I choose to embrace each renewed moment
with faith and joyful intent. I care not for the past nor the future. I live
standing in the now.
Living in Faith
The apparent lack of faith shown by others, presents itself as the
opposite polarity to my faith. I neither judge nor fear them, nor do I attempt
to convert them. By living my faith by example, others may come to seek their
own truth. My faith expands exponentially as I turn new knowledge into wisdom.
As I begin to understand and live in the knowledge of the higher frequencies,
my vibration intensifies and becomes finer. The
cycle is nearing completion. I am going home.
Harmony and balance
Harmony and Balance exists throughout all of Creation - from the
microcosm of the atom to the macrocosm of the planets and galaxies in motion. I
allow harmony and balance into my life by simply letting everything be and
going with the flow. The erratic driver, the rude salesperson, the brutal
mugger, all are valid parts of the whole. Rather than judge their actions, true
perception honours each soul's right to experience every facet of life on
Earth. Through allowance I maintain harmony and balance.
Sowing Abundance
I understand the difference between wants and needs. I have faith
in an abundant Universe which provides everything in direct proportion to my
needs. I am thankful for whatever
I have in life rather than complain about things I don't have. Expending energy
by worrying about lack will only focus that energy and manifest more lack. I
choose to focus on spiritual development by giving love and service to others.
Only by giving can I expect to receive.
A life of Contrast
I am here to learn by experiencing contrast. Only after
experiencing the darkness of fear am I able to fully appreciate the magical
light of love. Having experienced the contrast between the polarities of love
and fear, and made love my preference, I now know what to seek and what to
avoid. I allow fear its right to exist as a valid part of the whole, but prefer
to bathe in the light of love. Rather than give energy to fear by denying
its existence, I simply prefer love.
Power of Thought
I am a co-creator and as such I create my own individual version
of reality. The world I see is the world in me. Aware of my ability to manifest
via thought, I strive to think only positive, judgement-free thoughts. Because
I am aware my thoughts have the power to influence my reality, I accept that
whatever I consciously focus upon is what I will draw towards me. My world of
reality thus becomes one of abundance and happiness because I choose to think it
so. I am an unlimited creative being.
