Flashes of insight that suddenly appear and then disappear just as quickly are sometimes the way in which the higher energies penetrate the denser atmosphere of planet Earth. These are perceived at the individual level as intuition—both creative and intellectually-based ideas, hunches, and/or solutions to dilemmas at the personality level. Even in the moment when a crisis occurs, these insightful flashes make themselves known; a question and/or need instantaneously yields the answer or fulfillment of that which is required and/or desired. The choice is yours alone as to if you accept or reject what is provided by Spirit. As with any choice made in three-dimensional reality, there are consequences that accompany that choice. Human beings often interpret the word consequence as having a negative connotation, and that is not the meaning intended here. Consequences are neutral; they just are. It is the individual’s point of view that attributes (either positive or negative) meaning to them. The phrase “ask and you shall receive” aptly describes the climate of planet Earth; it is only the individual’s perspective that determines the experience of that Truth.
Do not fear your own thoughts! Understand that it is the power of your emotions that activates them into form. Awareness of your thoughts (as well as the emotions and physical sensations that accompany them) is encouraged in order to know the nature of your (current) thinking. How a thought feels in your body gives you ample information as to the quality of that thought for you and you alone. A thought that is perceived to be a high-quality thought by one person is viewed by others in various ways. Each human being has the capacity to discern what is right for them. Allowing for the differences in others not only fosters a peaceful environment, it greatly contributes to inner peace. Embracing differences in personalities, ideas, and beliefs engenders serenity. Suffering is born of judging and resisting what other-than-self (as an individual expression of the whole) has chosen. There is an immense amount of unnecessary suffering on this planet due to the ego/personality seeking validation outside of itself. Combined with the acceptance of power and responsibility for your own thoughts and perceptions as well as the quality of both your inner and outer worlds, self-awareness yields serenity and, at times, blissful experiences.
Maintaining presence is the basis for power realized. There is no suffering in the state of presence, nor is there judgement of self (or other-than-self), fear, or discord. Every moment of presence experienced while in human form is powerful beyond what the human mind can perceive. ALL that is born of presence (including but not limited to ideas, intentions, and actions) is in alignment with and, therefore, not resistant to the Divine. When focused in the here and now, you experience peace and love. Fear, judgment (of self and/or other-than-self), and perceived separation from Source cannot abide where presence resides. While extant on planet Earth—a dualistic world defined by time and space—any practice that enhances presence allows for more peaceful, powerful, and joyful experiences. A respect for the limitations of the material world in which you reside, combined with knowing the expansiveness of who you truly are via presence, allows for flow. Like the waters of a river bound by land, there is power in allowing the limitations to direct your course. There is also power in the combined energies realized in a forceful surge that breaks through material barriers to chart a new path, which then expands what was once perceived as a fixed boundary. Be present, be powerful, be peaceful, and GROW!
