The Universe and Us

More and more people are awakening to the fact that there is a non-personal Universal power behind all of creation. We may call it The Almighty Power, God, Allah, Energy, Consciousness, or whatever name suits you, but the fact remains that since this power is non-personal, it is flowing through us, is a part of us, and directing us to the point of perfect Understanding of who and what we are.

Since we are becoming aware of the Truth that this entity consists of Universal Laws not a person, we can align ourselves with the necessary rules.  All of a sudden the scriptures make sense, the veil is being lifted and the light of Truth shines through the past misunderstood perceptions. Now we understand why we must apply the commandments. Not because of fear, but because of Love and respect for our creator.

Our relationship to this Almighty Power is intimate and an integral part of this innate urge for Universal expression. We are a living part of this living organism. When once fully understood, the results will be marvelous.

Yes, it is our Universe. We are part of it, and we are co-creators. In infinite consciousness, there is also infinite power for us to access and use to our liking. We might not ever need it or use it, but it’s there for the taking. This creative power (being part of us) is ours, whenever we want it.

Can you see the abundance of Life? Can you acknowledge the limitlessness of seeds in plant life, the countless species of the animal kingdom, and the births of our children? Look at this grand picture of our Universe and its limitless possibilities! Our developing minds do not yet grasp the vastness and, many times, stand in the way of natural unfoldment. Let it happen. Work with it, not against it!

The Law of Cause and Effect, or Like attracts Like, will ensure that you receive what you imagine to be true. It is impartial and will act upon our thoughts and convictions, good or bad. It does not differentiate. It does not know the difference; it only responds. This is the beauty of the Laws, impersonal, not favoring one or the other, just and fair. This God-Power is always just and fair and therefore we need to know how to use this force for the good. We can use it for other than good purposes, but it will surely backfire. The consequences may be negative and unexpected, again, because the Law works without bias. The Law is Perfection. The Law is Goodness. The Law is God. God is the Law.

The “how” is the key to manifestation of our desired goods. We can repeat all the positive affirmations all day long, but if we cannot apply the thoughts properly, then nothing in our lives will change. Application, application, application— and the willingness to change, this is your tool!

The lowest vibrations…

Just a gentle reminder for the day: Fear and hate are the lowest vibrations in the Universe. Fear, worry, doubt, and hate are the culprits you need to work on first. It’s easier to let go of hate. Do you really, really hate, or is it just a bad word habit? “I hate this outfit” or “I hate this new hair style” … really? Why use such a strong word?

You can start using the word dislike and soften the blow. Then you will start seeing that there is nothing to even dislike on this wonderful planet. Start loving everything and slowly you will also gain a sense of love for people. All people that is. Loving people requires a bit more openness, forgiveness, and a general sense of embracing the Allness of Good.

Getting rid of fear is a bit more challenging. It requires getting rid of ignorance, erring supposition, erring beliefs, and longstanding habits. It’s mental housecleaning galore. You will need to focus on each and every fear; and with diligence and an honest approach you will be able to see that there is really nothing to fear. Let’s keep talking about how to conquer all fears as we go along…

Visions and Dreams, your individual Desires

9/10/2015

I am curious: Do you think about your visions and dreams? Do you make a conscious effort to achieve your desires? What are your goals in life? Have you fulfilled your childhood aspirations? Have you mastered some of your teenage ambitions, have you even come close to your adult objectives? Take a few minutes out of your busy schedule and really, really think about these questions carefully.

All of us had certain ambitions during our younger years, but over time life has stirred us in other directions or we made decisions which were not in line with the original intend. Many times we allowed others to decide our path for us, we felt powerless and stayed with a job or a relationship that was less than desirable, or we just went with the flow and slowly but surely our once clearly defined path became muddled and dwindled into the far distance. We took the easy way out. Looking back we wonder what happened, “why didn’t I stay with my visions and dreams?” we ask.

Many people just exist, they are not fully living. They react to outer circumstances, rather than acting in accordance to their God-given power of self-management. Instinctively they reach for a higher goal, a more refined being, but many do not succeed. Unfortunately this seeming failure results in future doubts. “Maybe I am not cut out to do this job” or “What if I fail again?” they wonder and their enthusiasm diminishes. Giving up seems easier than sticking with the plan.

However, only when attuned with the mental force that controls the Universe (which we all possess) will we be able to change our destiny and perform the work that needs to be done.

The physical world is merely a reflection of the mental world; it’s not the other way around. Unfortunately the reflection is a mostly imperfect one, as the thoughts produced by us are imperfect as well. Like attracts like, and our thoughts are causative and create everything we hear, see, touch, taste and smell, and most of all they create everything we experience. It is the Law – it cannot be changed.

The mere fact that we can say “I”, “Me”, “My” and recognize the meaning of those words show proof of our awareness of self. This one and only consciousness that is within us, is the great sea of the Universe and we are part, a particle, of this great universal mass – an individual drop in the Universal Ocean.

Our minds activity includes desire. Desire is the active spark that presses for expression as part of our natural thinking process. Our mental picture is the blueprint of our experience, good or bad, and this vision will become our experience. Consciousness always assumes a form in the visible; it automatically manifests its convictions and beliefs. There is only one Mind, one Consciousness. In the individual sense you are Mind, you are Consciousness – you can think. You are aware of your being, you know that you ‘are’, and your sense of self is what is expressed in the form you call YOU.

We, our true substance, is not a changing ‘thing’. We are constant, limitless, powerful, and already perfect. What is changing is our understanding of SELF. Through this change of our understanding, with its triumphs and tribulations, we change the reflection to either good or bad. However, the inevitable growth and self-unfoldment we eventually experience will reflect the glorious calm and happiness that comes with this understanding.

So let’s go back to our visions and dreams and redefine what they mean to us. Let us get the enthusiasm back which we experienced at an early age. And let us shed the bondage of the ego and leave the restrictions of conformity behind.

Ego will always think that we are greater than others and less than we truly are. Ego does not understand the great Truth of our innate heritage of perfection, nor the fact that we are all made of the same substance, imbued with the same Understanding. The only distinction between each of us is the difference of levels of understanding in our quest for unfoldment. Therefore there is an apparent divergence in our life experience.

But there is within us a power of complete liberation, an ability to rectify our mistakes. As long as we live and think a certain way, we will continue to do so without progress, however, when once we use this innate power, our visions and dreams will be fulfilled – but remember, only that which takes root in our minds can become fact. It all rests within us.

It is time to cast off all concepts of limitations and it is time to improve the quality of our thoughts, because what we accept as a permanent mental image, or fact, must manifest in this world. Our dreams, your dreams, will manifest if we stay focused and true to our vision, with the knowledge of the power within.

Can you see the importance? Can you understand that your life has been shaped by your convictions, and you are actually living your visions and dreams right now? If you don’t like the picture you see, know that you can change it at any time – make it your priority. Set goals, dream big, and know that you can achieve anything you set your mind to, because your mind is the most powerful tool you have. I wish you much success! www.modernthoughttheories.com

What does your country mean to you?

I shared this story last year in my book "Forever...and 365 Days", but I thought it is still relevant today:

In 1953, the region of Salzburg, Austria, sent the first “letter of responsibility” to all citizens who turned twenty-one that year. It is called the “Jungbuergerbrief” and they have done so ever since. The word “Jungbuerger” translates into “Young Citizen.” I think you will enjoy the translation and see the significance and importance of this document in a world that has lost a lot of its values.

“Dear Jungbuerger,

You have reached the legal age of twenty-one and therefore have earned the right to vote. With this responsibility you have the privilege, and it is your duty, to participate in the shaping of your future public life – which is also important for your personal fate.

Your successful participation in public life demands being responsible, and requires a good knowledge of the history of your region, state, and country. Since you are a citizen and this is your country, you are being asked to show also knowledge of the people of your homeland.

In this celebration of your ‘coming of age,’ you are herby accepted, and it is now up to you to handle your affairs after your own will and strength; acknowledge the duties of the communities, and with a sincere heart help the development of these communities.

Support and uphold the beliefs and customs of your forefathers, and stand up for the independence of your homeland, the region of Salzburg, and support the freedom of your country, Austria, in word and deed.

You promised to uphold and honor these rights and duties in these celebratory festivities, and with honor you declared your sincerity - and strengthened it with your handshake.

Oberalm, September 20, 1953

Maybe we should send a letter of responsibility to the young citizens of America on their twenty-first birthday?
