​Nature’s Symbols
 
Let’s talk about symbols of this visible life. All visible life, anything you can hear, see, touch, taste and smell are symbols of the unseen – visible reflections of what is perceived in the mental.
 
Our work (seeking to improve our lives) is to look at the symbols and figure out their meaning, so we can use them properly and to our advantage. There is no coincident or random event, everything is working according to a Universal plan.
 
Let me explain: We shall reason about these symbols (everything that is visible to us) and find that everything is mental, because its origin is Universal Consciousness, which is mental in nature. It cannot be otherwise.
 
We have, through our beliefs and convictions, made it look “material”, or of material substance, in order to make it usable on this plane. The fact remains however, it is mental. Let me repeat, everything is mental in nature.
 
Let’s look at the Ocean for instance, and its steady flow of ebb and tide? The waves coming ashore ever so gentle, yet powerful. Ever wondered what the Ocean represents in the mental?
 
Well, it’s a vast mass of unsolved thought, not yet purified. Not drinkable, and not usable unless it is purified or solved. Thoughts, or thought potential, must be examined and cleansed, just like the Ocean water that must be cleansed in order to be useful.
 
Another symbol is the earth. The earth symbolizes (true) Understanding. We stand on solid ground when we stand on the earth. True Understanding is solid and we must stand firm, with both feet, on what we understand (not just believe to be true). So, our work is to unfold more and more from within, so we understand more of Universal Laws and Truth.
 

Mr. Walter, one of the early metaphysics teachers, once said: “In the end life is found to be nothing but sense”. What did he mean by that?

Look around you, life is everywhere. Not just in people and animals. Look at nature - plants are a lower form of life. We know that they respond to our thoughts and our sense. It has been tested and proven. Even rocks, sand and shells have life. Yes, we could move mountains if we just would understand that even the biggest and most solid looking things are mere mental images, mind reflections. Think about it!

All visible creations started in the mind of someone first. It was an invisible idea or a desire, and it became a reality through the individuals longing for the specific want. The desire was thought and reasoned about, and as it became a reality, an achievable goal in the individuals mind, it manifested into the visible realm.
​
Our sense of things, how we feel, is what manifests the invisible into the visible. It’s the key to creation. This invisible sense of ours is the cause of what we experience. So, we must change our sense of things if they are not to our liking.
We are taking our sense, our perception of things, feelings and moods, with us wherever we go, and we see the world as we believe it to be – and that is really wonderful! We have a choice. We can change our environment according to our beliefs and convictions. That is why our attitude towards everything, our sense about a situation, is so important!
​

When I started studying metaphysics, some 36 years ago, my life changed. It changed so drastically, to the better in all aspects of my experiences, that I wanted to share all this goodness with my friends, family and all people who would listen. Full of enthusiasm, I began to teach and write.  
 
As an inspirational writer and teacher, I had to seriously think about my ‘voice’. What do I want to get across to you, my readers? What is it that needs healing, nurturing, empowering, and teaching? What are the most helpful topics you are looking for? How can I benefit you best?
 
I suggested, and still do, taking a practical approach to every day applications, because all the affirmations in the world will not help you or change your life unless you utilize your newfound knowledge about Universal Laws, Cause and Effect. It’s the application of these affirmations that will change your experience, hence your life.
 
I intended to use my writings as an educational forum, with stories of real live experiences; mine and others. How have we managed to heal ourselves, how have we, as a society, made changes in conscious awareness, and how will the Universe respond to a collective change in mass thinking.
 
We experience the life we live right now because of our right or wrong thinking, our acting upon those thoughts and feelings, and our general beliefs.
 
But don’t fret. It’s alright – we are good, we are perfect, and we have nothing to fear, nothing to lose- only to gain. And there I say it: All is Good!
With love,

​I’ve been thinking a lot about value lately, especially about valuing yourself. Why is it that we, especially women, constantly think we are worth less than? Why do we back off when a more forceful person comes at us instead of standing our ground? Why do we feel like we lack in so many areas, when this is so far from the truth?
I read a wonderful quote some time ago and it has been with me ever since:
“Take yourself off the sales rack and put yourself behind the glass where the valuables belong.” (Author unknown)
Oh, how this advise has been ringing in my ears every time I had some doubts. I have lived by that for a while now, I have found my worth and I won’t back down. I wish the same for you my friends, you are worthy – that’s for sure!
Remember, our value does not depend on money or earthly possessions; it depends on our understanding of Truth and the meaning of your life well lived. Our value is in our minds, in our actions and sense of our selves. We are part of the Almighty Universal Power, and that is immense value in itself.

Money makes the world go ‘round…or does it? Is money really that important? Is it the end all, the one thing we should be striving for? Or should we look at money in a different way?
Have you ever thought about what money represents in the mental realm? Everything we see, hear, and can touch has a mental meaning. It is the visible reflection of something in the invisible, the true invisible cause of all.
In the metaphysical sense, money is a convenient means of exchange. Nothing more, nothing less. You exchange your dollars for things you need or want. You are circulating money for usable items or experiences.
Our wealth does not depend on money; it depends on our understanding of Truth and the meaning of Wealth Consciousness. Our wealth is in our minds, in our actions and sense of our selves. So, ask yourself: How do I see yourself? Do I value myself?
When we start seeing that even the thing called money is mental not material, we will experience abundance flowing in more easily.
And let us not forget, appreciation is the starting point of abundance, which includes money. We must start being grateful for what we have now, and deeply feel this sense of thankfulness. This appreciation is the foundation to a more abundant life.
​

​We attract what we believe to be true, not what we merely want. “I want” is purely wishful thinking. To manifest our desires, we must be absolutely convinced that it is possible to receive. Doubt will guarantee failure.

All manifestations are created by our ability to imagine, visualize, reason, act, and feel this truth. The correct thought-application of Universal Law is what projects our positive experiences into the visible.

However, the one thing that never changes is our awareness, our conscious substance. Everything else varies and shifts all the time, because our experience is only the reflection of our sense of things, which is fluid.

Never forget, Harmony is the principle Quality underlying all Life. Like a river we must flow with this spiritual current and remain in a constant harmonious state of being. Let's practice! 

Three simple, yet powerful words – Health, Wealth and Happiness.
 
We all, knowingly or not, strive to be happy. It stands to reason that one cannot be fully happy without health and some degree of comfortable living. With health being the most precious of all, we must realize that our physical health reflects our mental state of mind. The visible body reflects our invisible mental health.
 
In our society health is seen as the proper functioning of the organs, as well as an overall feeling of well-being. Mental wellness, however, is generally viewed as a positive attitude, a balanced and sound mind. This definition of mental health highlights emotional well-being. It includes the capacity to live a full and creative life, and foremost the flexibility to deal with life's inevitable challenges.
 
Wealth has many meanings. We all see wealth with different eyes and have a different sense of what it means to be wealthy. Of course, seeing it from a material stand point it means money to most people. But there is more to that.
 
Wealth means an abundance of goodness flowing into our lives because we have given and contributed to the goodness of all. It means a sense of immense love for ourselves and every living being, which in turn will bring back all the love we’ll ever need. A feeling of wealth will engulf us when we realize that we are part of the Allness of Good, God, which leads to Happiness.
 
True happiness doesn’t come from things or riches, it comes from an inner knowing of self. A fulfilled sense of being. A sense of gratitude and a sense of bliss.

​We say we love our friends and family, but then we are quick to judge. “She should have known better”, “He’s such a slow mover”, “Why can’t they pick up the pace at work? I always have to help”. I can go on and on with examples of judgmental thoughts, might they be small or large.

People have their own pace, their own way of working things out.
They might appear to be less talented, less quick to act or understand, less tolerant, or less gifted, but by judging others we are taking away from our own good. Why?

Because judging them robs us from the good we could be thinking instead. We must remember that they are not less—they are as perfect as you are. They are just on a different level of unfoldment, or frequency, working on their own issues and challenges. It’s all in the perception. We expect from them a certain level of understanding or capability. But we should not fall into this trap. It’s not our place to demean them or think of them as lesser.

So be compassionate and focus on yourself. Live your life as an example so they can see your progress and blessings. Only that will inspire them (if they desire so) or they can do what they think is right for them. After all, it is their life!

​Take, for one moment, your physical sense of health away and think: “What is really healthy in the mental realm?”

Not medicine, home remedies, quick fixes, organic juices, lean food, diets, and all the other advertised cures. Real health comes from healthy, wholesome thoughts; a shift in attitude and mental stamina. Real health is our ability to discern between right and wrong, always choosing high quality thoughts and feelings, the virtuous, wholesome and good for all concerned.

Our physical and emotional aches and pains are the reflection of our painful thoughts from past thinking. Let us make sure that our thoughts ‘now’ are full of love and appreciation, and free of fear, so we don’t have to experience the same agony and discomforts tomorrow.

Let us make sure that we, not only, live a healthy physical life but also a healthy mental life. Naturally, a shift of Consciousness to a higher and healthier dimension is inevitable, because progress is a law of life. So, allow yourself to be open to this natural flow of progress. Even though the spiritual transformation might be subtle, it is also certain. It’s all part of the Universal Plan.

​You are Health!

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.
