The Soul, our Consciousness, loves to think quietly. It cherishes solace, relief from emotional distress. The hustle and bustle of this world belong to the ego. The beauty and silence of nature belongs to the Soul.

Yet we fall into the trap of daily commotion and entangle our fragile self with negativity and disturbing noise.

It seems difficult to awaken from this power of illusion, or cosmic hypnosis, that our mortal life presents to us. We still crave earthly pleasures, and that’s OK in moderation. It’s part of our journey. Where we fall short is in keeping the balance between desires of the flesh and desires of the spirit.

We should, and area able to, build our heaven on earth, here and now. The natural direction of our Consciousness is upward, our true self intentionally seeking a better understanding of Truth.

Those who coast and are mentally lazy will reap the unpleasant rewards of staying in the same daily rut. The only way out is to clear our minds of this mental clutter and lift our thoughts to where they belong.
​
Planting new seeds of lovely and good thoughts in our minds will bring us the blossoms and blessings we are yearning for, because every day is a new opportunity to correct yesterday’s thoughts.

Here some morning thoughts-

These days we talk a lot about Truth. Is he or she telling the truth about this or that? Can we trust them? Is it the whole truth and nothing but the truth?

Universal Truth is more than being honest with your friends or family, it is more than what we see on TV or politicians utter in public, it contains more than our earthly sense of what seems real to us.
Universal Truth it is unchangeable, unmovable, and everlasting. It is God itself.

When looking for Truth, it doesn’t matter who wrote it, said it, or taught it. Truth is Truth. The person shouting it is not the creator of Truth. He is only the messenger, a vessel of sorts – or in many cases the shouter of untruths.

Embrace Truth when you find it.

How do you know it’s the Truth? Does it feel right? Is it loving, uplifting, spiritual, pure, honest, and good for all concerned? Ask yourself these questions and observe your mental and bodily response to your feelings. Are you experiencing a sense of joy, a loving sensation throughout your being when thinking about Truth?

Therefore, let us stop obsessing about our ego-selves and focus on what is really important, which is our spiritual unfoldment and our all-inclusive attitude. We are vessels of this God-Consciousness, Truth, here to fulfill a purpose. We are pieces of the cosmic puzzle. Our true purpose of upward progress, when achieved, will free us from this self-inflicted, karmic bondage. It will free us from being limited by falsehoods, deceptions and self-inflicted denigrations. It will allow us to see Truth as intended by the Almighty Power, our higher self. It will show Truth in its true Light.

​We are all on this path of self-unfoldment, a natural progression of spiritual awakening. Challenges approach us every day, some subtle some bold, but always reminding us that the work has to be done.

In this journey of self-unfoldment we must seek self-improvement. Self-improvement requires self-control and self-esteem, which are utterly important to achieve a healthy balance. Self-control and self-esteem are two of the first issues we will have to address, because we must understand that it is ‘us’ who can change our situation, whatever that might be.

Do you see yourself in control of your daily doings? Do you see yourself as self-sufficient, self-reliant, and fully competent, or do you doubt your abilities?

Never doubt your abilities, your strength - and keep your good motives clear. Always move forward with love for life, people, and all living creatures.

To start out with let us engage with people who are on our positive wavelength, the ones that easily tune into our radar. Individuals who are loving and kind; who reflect good character and who want to better themselves by applying and living according to Universal Laws; the Laws of Truth.

Our personal behavior should set the standard for right living in this world. We all should be examples of positive thinking, good clean healthy living—and thereby teach and inspire others. Just imagine the peace and love we would experience and contribute to a world that suffers so much pain. Let us begin!

Let’s talk about how we solve our personal problems. Do we acknowledge them, reason them out, handle them, or do we just hide them under the rug? Do we get lost in the drama of the moment or can we step back and observe? Do we dwell on the negative observations or can we stop ourselves from replaying the mental images?
 
Any situation can be handled more easily if we are willing to take the time and carefully apply right and positive thought. In a matter of fact, it takes a lot of energy to stay negative. So why not turn it around and transform each challenge into an opportunity to grow and evolve? The negative events are really positives when we see them as a learning tool.

How do we do that? How do we separate our emotions and fears from what appears so real?

Firstly, we must take a step back and breathe. Secondly, focus and see the problem for what it really is: A learning experience. Nothing more, nothing less.

We must be of one mind and good purpose. We must have faith and know that all will work out for the good at the end. We cannot switch constantly between one thing and another, being wishy-washy all the time. We cannot doubt our decisions and we must have the courage to go on no matter how difficult it seems at the time. I can assure you, straying off the right path will get us nowhere. But being strong and moving forward toward the light will show us the way to a better day.

Take a good look at your life, your environment, your earthly possessions. Are you attached to everything around you?

Your house, your car, your family photos, and all of your things? Or can you look at them in a more spiritual sense: your house as a temporary abode, your car as a convenient means of transportation, and your family photos as a collection of fond memories for example?

We cannot take any earthly objects with us on our journey to our next state of being. We can only enjoy them here and now while practicing to reach a better understanding and refine our sense and connection to our higher Consciousness.

Yes, we can achieve all earthly blessings—a lovely home, a great family, the perfect job—and still gain spiritual knowledge. It all depends on our priorities; what is important to us at this stage of unfoldment.
​
Eventually, however, the longing for material riches will subside. Only our sense of comfort will remain, and even this sense of comfort will have evolved to a higher level of understanding. Once at this point in our unfoldment, our focus will be only on gaining more understanding of Universal Truth, spiritual awareness, God. Understand what God really is and all things will be added unto you…
