Thoughts about Heaven

8/28/2019

Many times, we tend to expect negative outcomes when working on a specific goal or even in relationships with others. Life has a way of working itself out, but our patience and trust in the Allness of Good is lacking the conviction that all will be OK. Instead we are defensive and ready to fight whatever comes our way.

Don’t fight life; live it! When we think that we must fight life and its challenges (even for a good cause) we block our inner positive energy. We toss our otherwise calm mental state out of balance. We should support, help, love and nurture good causes. We should do the same for our friends and family, our neighbors and even strangers, but we should not fight anything. Fighting is the opposite of being at peace, and only peace can bring you harmony and lasting happiness.

Lasting peace and harmony are heavenly. It feels good, loving and perfect. Remember, heaven is here and now and not a far-off place to be enjoyed later.

It's a mistake to think that we must be good now, in order to get to heaven later. It's up to us to create our own piece of heaven, which is the harmonious state of our minds. Since harmony is the basic principle of all life, we must focus on harmonious thoughts today and every day, so we can experience this heavenly state of mind now.

Nothing mysterious about it, it just requires mental work and the want to be happy. This is our life, we make the choices, we are in charge of our thoughts and feelings, and we experience in exact proportion the energy and love we exude.

The hustle and bustle of the world belong to the ego

8/21/2019

Remember when you could hear yourself think? When your days were quiet and peaceful. When you could reflect on your dreams and look joyfully toward the future?

What happened? Are the daily happenings in your world drowning out your inner voice? Are the moments filled with worry and fear, negative expectations and hopelessness?

Imagine going back to clear and healthy thinking where peace and calmness reigns; like a child whose mind is not contaminated by past influences and wrong teachings.

How? Slow down and reevaluate what’s really important in your life. What makes you happy and content? What refreshes your enthusiasm and your jest for life?

We are so busy playing our daily role that we are constantly neglecting our Soul. Remember, the Soul, our Consciousness, loves to think quietly. It cherishes solace, relief from emotional distress. It is our true nature, it is the ‘I’ of each of us.
The hustle and bustle of this world belong to the ego. The beauty and silence of the Universe belongs to the Soul.

What can we practice today?

8/14/2019

Let’s give this some thought. What is it that needs correction in our daily, habitual thoughts and feelings? What’s the negative emotion that seems to come back so easily when probed? Why does a painful experience from the past resurface over and over again.

Let's start observing ourselves carefully and begin cleaning out all of our painful, petty, judgmental, negative memories, and fearful thoughts, one at a time.

Yes, letting go of painful experiences seems like a daunting task at times; but this 'letting go' is a necessary healing process. Of course, we don't know that at first and so we hold on to the memory of the hurt; but it must be done.

Often, this painful experience occurs, because we have outgrown the old and are being pushed by our higher self into a new and better situation. We no longer belong in this lower frequency and therefore we must see the new, better path in front of us.
Self-correction is not a dreadful task. It should be done with joy and gratitude, and with a sincere desire to be right. Not right in opinion, but right according to Universal Law.

Say 'thank you' to the Almighty Power for showing you the way and be grateful for what's in store next.

Start living now

8/8/2019

Today, just a simple reminder:

Don't wait to 'start living' until you think the time is right—until you retire, the kids are out of the house, you have more money, or it's less busy at work. Don't put it in the future.

Start living NOW. Paint yourself a big, wonderful picture of happiness and then tackle it, step by step, piece by piece, and like a puzzle the picture will come together and look beautiful, just the way you imagined.

We fool ourselves

7/24/2019

Why do we talk about our problems all the time? What does hearing ourselves speak out loud do to our thought habits? Does it intensify the feeling of being right? Or are we reaching out for help
We fool ourselves by thinking that we can get away with lesser thoughts, and then we act surprised when unpleasant action follows. “Poor me,” we say, wondering why and where we’ve gone astray.
The remedy is simple: We must improve not only our thoughts, but also our feelings and our habitual demeanor. Balance in temperament and kindness toward all will get us in touch with what’s important.
Focusing on the negative is an addictive and destructive habit. Instead, we must talk about what’s good in our lives, the joys and upsides rather than the daily frustrations. This includes our ‘inside voice’. It’s what’s in our heart that counts.
Let’s not try to fix the outside, our perception of what we see; it’s our inside, our innermost thoughts and feelings, that need attention. Good feeling is the key!

Persistence

7/16/2019

If you want to achieve a goal, any goal, be persistent, and do not give up or wander off your path easily. Insist and know that it can be done. Be determined to achieve whatever you've set out to do, if it’s good for you and all concerned.
For example, if you desire more money or want to be more abundantly provided for, you must start at your word habits.

Creating abundance means changing your sense about the meaning of the word. When you hope for riches, yet say, ‘I don’t have enough, I’m poor, and I lack money,’ the Universe will respond saying, ‘OK, you don’t have enough, you’re poor, and you lack money.’

But if you say, ‘I have plenty, I am abundantly provided for, I have everything I need’—no matter what the circumstances of your life are at this moment—your sub-conscious, through the Universal Law of Attraction, will repeat those thoughts and bestow all the goods upon you. Remember, you cannot simply say those words without sincere conviction. You must believe them with all of your heart.

We must understand, that all so-called material things are reflections of the mind’s substance. They are mental in nature. You are the thinker. You are the cause of everything you experience and see in your surroundings. And therefore, your desires will be made manifest in this world if you follow the plan, written by Universal Law.
Know and feel your good desire so strongly that you can taste it. Sense it with all of your being, and it will be yours. Try it, and you will see a change in your pocketbook and all other aspects of your life.

Our purpose in Life

7/10/2019

Have you asked yourself the question: “What is my purpose? Why am I here? What role do I have in this lifetime?”

Our basic purpose in life is to unfold from within (learning the truth about your mental being and growing into the wonderful, loving individual you are meant to be) and through conscious recognition (understanding what we’ve learned and see the growth within) enjoy the fullness and goodness of life (all is already good).

However, our purpose of life is not only to live a good and productive life, and to enjoy the fruits of our labor, it also calls for creative vision and kindness to help manifest a better world and service to mankind.

We can all contribute and be part of the world’s healing process by being the best we can be as a person and as a spiritual being. No matter how small our contributions, all efforts are rewarded by the ‘Law of Cause and Effect’ and the ‘Law of Attraction’. But learning takes time and practice. It’s a daily awakening.
Our society wants instant gratification. There is no patience present with this kind of attitude. Good things come in due time, and they are certainly worth the wait.

Preconceived notions and opinions

7/3/2019

Can you let go of your preconceived notions and opinions? The ones you’ve acquired over a lifetime, knowingly or not. We tend to have a certain idea or picture in mind that we pursue with stubbornness and inflexibility. We insist that it’s the way it’s supposed to be. That’s the way it’s always been…

However, we must remember that the Universe, the Almighty Power, Intelligence itself, knows best. It is all-knowing, all-wise, and all-loving.

So, if something doesn’t go our way immediately and seems to point us in a different direction, let’s not fight it. Instead, let’s give it thorough and open-minded consideration: ‘What would happen if I followed the new path?’.

Only then should we make our decision, because even though we are the writer, actor, director, editor, and observer of our lives – we must allow the script of life to be flexible and fluid.

And lastly, our imagination should be treated with loving care and curious excitement. Desire is the starting point of all manifestation, but imagination will mold the desire into its anticipated shape. By letting go of what we think ‘should’ be and accepting what’s yet to come with positive expectations, we’re creating an environment for ourselves that is more in line with the loving, abundant life we are yearning for.
Therefore, allow your imagination to imagine the best only!

Creativity within

6/26/2019

Creativity resides in all of us. You might think that you are not the creative type, maybe you’re more on the technical or practical side, or just not interested in anything artsy.

Yes, you might not be an artist per se, but aren’t you creating your reality each day? Aren’t you painting your mental pictures of your desires constantly? Aren’t you envisioning the outcome of your dreams daily?

We, each and every one of us, are creative every moment of our wakening hours because we are the creators of our reality. This creativity is natural and effortless, because it is our nature. It does not require hard labor or excessive thought. It just is, if you allow it to flow through you, easily and comfortable.

So, be assured that you are a creative being. Let us keep our visions and aspirations alive. We must not allow anyone to shatter our dreams but we must stay focused and inspired of what is yet to come!
With Love, ULRIKE

Progress in Unfoldment

6/19/2019

The Universe constantly wants to express more of itself. As scientists have explained, it expands. We can also see this expansion in the evolution and progress of our visible world, which is the reflection of invisible consciousness. It expands and grows constantly. This invisible consciousness is cause; the cause of our experiences.

We are consciousness and therefore part of this growth. We are part of universal expression. We must expand our minds by being open-minded.

Our individual thought process is individual consciousness in action. Whatever we put our attention on becomes energized. Whatever we ignore dwindles.

Therefore, we must stay focused when working toward a goal. We do our living within, not without. Our correct and loving mental attitude is the only thing that matters; it creates our daily events.

With Love, ULRIKE
