Creating your Own Reality
Recieved 12-30 2007

As your  planet undergoes various changes in both concsiousness and action we would like to take a few minutes to explain the true value of "creating your own reality. "   As you know there is a great deal of pain and suffering on your planet.  Often you feel that this suffering is unfair and you wish it would stop.  Realize that all suffering is a part of creating ones reality.   Mankind has the free choice to respond to the influences that surround him on a daily basis.  The experiences you have make up your life. Your reaction to those experiences are based upon your perceptions of those experiences.  Your perception defines your reality.

Mankind promotes the idea that when you think something  you create it.  In a way this is true.  Energy does follow thought which means that if you continue to think about something you can indeed manifest  it.  However, if your creation doesnt quite happen in the way you had planned, if it takes longer than you had anticipated, then you need to ask yourself why?  Realize dear ones that if you start to consciously create a reality when you are 30 years old you still need to deal with all the prior years that you were not focused or disciplined  in your creation.  The experience you are presently living in is an accumulation of every thing you did as well as everything you allowed yourself to be influenced by.

In order to create your reality  in the present moment you need to heal your past.  This doesn't mean you need to analyze everything you have ever done.  Analyzing requires energy that could be directed in a more beneficial way.  Forgiving yourself and letting go of the security of your insecurity frees up your energy so that you can consciously create anew.  

So many people today chose to create abundance in their lives.   Abundance of what?   We wish to remind you that its is always more beneficial for ones soul growth to focus on creating the abundance of  spirits love within you, an abundance of compassion for your fellow man and an abundance of humility within yourself.  If you hold these three virtues of abundance within yourself you have everything you could possible want or desire and your reality is complete.

At the present moment in time everyone on the planet is being given an opportunity to wake up from his or her spiritual amnesia and embrace the energy of unconditional love. The acts of terrorism on the world trade center in New York indicate this. Mankind is in a state of shock.  Fear continues to surface and suffering escalates as the slow process of healing begins. 

Many individuals do not understand the reasons behind such a violent act. Although this tragedy awakened compassion and servitude in the hearts of many the psychological repercussions of this event are still growing. 

Humanity lives in a world governed by polarities. Some individuals believe that suffering is needed for soul growth and others do not. Whatever your belief system is it is important to realize that you are a creator.  Whatever you think you create. You become that creation. Spirit does not judge you, you judge yourself. When you choose to stand trial or put another on trial there can never be unity between all people. 

Planet Earth and her inhabitants are being faced with many challenges. Each challenge holds an opportunity.  It is important to find the opportunity that is being offered to mankind even though war may be on the horizon. Battles going on within self express themselves outwardly and affect all life. If humanity chooses to honor their personal demons they feed fear.  Fear is the biggest terrorist of all. 

Some individuals fight for peace because they fear war, and what it will do to their lives, not necessarily because they truly honor peace.  By eliminating the terrorist that lives within freedom reigns supreme and light overshadows the dark. 

Honoring peace starts with maintaining peace and non-judgment within self. When you take the time to discover what really motivates your thoughts, feelings and actions and then approach all situations from pure intention balance on planet Earth can be restored. 

Humanity as a whole are doers. They believe that they must do things in order to find resolve. Anyone that wants to eliminate conflict should begin with them selves.  First acknowledge your personal fear and hold it in the light for several moments. Thank it for being a teacher to you, surrender your attachment to it and choose to let it go. 

If you see someone perform an unloving act focus on the heart center of that individual and acknowledge their light before you react and try to bring that person to justice. God lives within everyone. To love unconditionally means to recognize another’s light. Don’t send love to that person. Sending love is not the solution. If you view a situation as negative how can you honestly love it? Do not try to direct or control the light simply let go and let flow. 

The evolution of the soul is a mysterious and glorious affair with life. The souls ultimate goal is and has always been to attain enlightenment. Enlightenment is a work in progress with different developmental stages influencing it. When a person understands the energies as well as the stages of growth they are experiencing they reunite with their souls aspirations and can manifest those aspirations through right thought and conduct.

We would like to discuss these developmental stages so a better understanding of the growth cycle can be acquired. At the present time on earth these cycles are speeding up and merging together eliminating time frames as you would normally perceive them. Some of you will experience this merging while others will live the time frame of the full allotted cycle. One is no better then another, for both awakens the realization of your divine self. For those of you who are taking the Wisdom of Being Correspondence Course this information is applicable to Part Two.

Between the ages of 1 and 14, the physical cycle of growth takes shape and becomes the dominant factor in ones life. It is during this stage of living that hereditary influences are revealed and the constitution of the physical body is known. Its health or ill health, physical strengths or handicaps, the individual's position in life and within the family unit, the span of life and type of circumstances pertaining to ones life are shown. The body is the budget of credits and debits, which have carried over from ones prior lives and relate to what one has to deal with in the present life. Most karmic health problems present themselves during this cycle.

When a person is in this cycle it would be helpful to create and maintain a healthy physical environment in which they can grow. Address issues of a karmic nature, shift the energies of ill health and encourage creative enterprises.

Between the ages of 14 and 21 the psychic cycle of growth appears within the life of the individual.  It is during this stage in ones life that feeling and desire takes hold. These feelings and desires are often the result of what one has desired, felt and done in past lives.  Emotional insecurity as well as psychic impressions forms during this stage of ones life cycle. Repeated dreams, nightmares, visions and emotional outbursts assert themselves during this stage of growth.

When a person is in this cycle care should be given to the emotional well being of the individual. Encouragement, support and respect on all levels and in all areas of the individuals life should be implemented.

Between the ages of 21 and 35 the mental cycle presents itself. Mental energy expresses itself as the thought patterns one has and how those thought patterns influence ones behavior. It represents the atmosphere associated with the mind of the individual and includes the mental character, attitudes, intellectual attainments and other mental endowments.

When a person is in this cycle attention should be given to the stimulation of thought and the encouragement of inspiring ideas.

Between the ages of 35 and 52, the spiritual cycle is awakened within ones life. Spiritual energy represents the amount or degree of self knowledge one has about themselves and the application of that knowledge. Spiritual growth is the result and the use of ones creative and generative force. It manifests as ones knowledge of humanity and human relations. The amount of self knowledge one has is shown by the degree of self control one expresses over their physical and emotional desires, as well as knowing what should be done for oneself and others. It activates intuition and brings forth enlightenment on any subject, idea, action or deed that the individual is engaged in.  Spiritual awakening is the sum total of the individual and works in conjunction with all others phases of growth. It accelerates understanding, acceptance, and compassion towards self and others.

When one has awakened their spiritual understanding fully, they have the ability and strength to use their awareness to clear any remaining debris within their being, to serve the universal plan and dissolve karmic energies within and around them.

If you work with the energies associated with the above cycles you can move through each one effectively and speed up the growth process. In each stage of growth emphasis should be placed on the energies that complement it for the best results to be attained.

Humanity often refers to destiny as inevitable. It represents the map of the soul for it is strongly linked to karma and choice. Presently the destiny of the world and its population is unfolding. This unfoldment signifies a cycle of completion for earth and her inhabitants. This cycle occurs approximately every 50,000 years.

Many of you are aware of the changes taking place on earth as well as the changes taking place in your personal consciousness. Although the present cycle of completion brings with it an opportunity for joy and harmony it must be initiated into your world in such a way that it stabilizes itself.

Since thinking is the basic factor that shapes destiny you must begin to review your thinking process. Realize that the consciousness of every stone, every plant, every animal, every event, and every human that has ever taken place works together as one energy and creates the core of destiny.

Two main aspects of destiny influence every soul on the planet. These are known as personal destiny and collective destiny. Personal destiny correlates to the life pattern of an individual soul and collective destiny is associated with the race and nation to which the soul belongs.

Although destiny has a specific purpose in ones life, how it is experienced is left up to the choice of the individual. Before an individual enters the earth plane the soul decides upon the growth experiences necessary to meet the needs of its evolution. The original intent of destiny always remains the same, but the free will of a person allows those experiences to be expanded upon.

As you view the world you live in realize that destiny is at hand. The suffering of many in certain parts of the world today is directly linked to the collective karma of that area. Collective destiny is an accumulation of past thoughts, words, and deeds performed by a specific group of people.

The suffering within your private world is linked to a personal destiny. Personal destiny has to do with past and present choices you have made. It represents your relationship with yourself and the planet you live on.

Speaking of the planet, please don't forget that the opportunities offered to mankind today are also being offered to mother earth. It would be wise to feed her nourishment on a daily basis so she too can transform into the beautiful place that she was intended to be.

We would also like to suggest that if you want to be of service to others start focusing on the light that lives within each persons heart and stop focusing on the problems that surround them.

For a very long time destiny has held you prisoner. Now you have the opportunity to complete a cycle in your growth process and move towards freedom. For this to occur there must be a sincere willingness within each individual to cross the threshold of ones personality and relinquish all egos based desires. Ego based desires represent anything that is thought, felt, or done, that does not honor equality, for equality is the virtue needed to enforce universal love on your planet.

Universal love means to detach from preferences. When a person has a preference for one thing over another, they create categories to place them in. Categories divide the whole into segments. In the golden age that is now approaching, oneness will be the unifying factor not division and separation.

You must understand that when you first entered the earth realm you were spirit manifesting into form. Spirit taking form in the physical sense had never been done before so the outcome of this experiment was unknown. Your intention was to create with love. Everyone was given a free will to create. Equality was the common thread that bound you together.

Unfortunately as time passed people started becoming competitive with their creative powers and forgot their original intention. You did not want to lose your original intention but the density of the physical form continually created challenges for you to deal with. Eventually these challenges distracted your consciousness from your original purpose on earth and polarity was born. Polarity prompted desire and desire prompted a need to return to the purity of love. The stronger the desire the deeper you fell into the abyss. One must understand that desire is a product of the ego personality. It is an emotional frustration with an agenda. Frustration is not love.

Eventually this gave birth to individuality and the illusion of self identity. Self identity encouraged self needs and eventually overshadowed God's truth. This is turn manifested the power of preference, which reinforced the concepts of good, bad, right, and wrong.

Bound by polarity you began to experience limitation, restriction, and emotional bondage. When emotional bondage developed the need for reincarnation became apparent. The individual could not contain within its physical vehicle all the negativity that had been accumulated and eventually broke free from it through the death and birth process.

Presently you are being given the opportunity to recapture the light that you truly are. If you succeed, reincarnation will take on a different meaning for mankind. To accomplish this one must detach from their knowing and live for a time in the void of the unknowing. Living in the void reunites you with love and eliminates individual destiny. It would be wise not to get caught in all the information flooding the planet today. Too much mental input and not enough mental silence can prevent you from entering the void.

The void is a place where a person surrenders their self-centeredness and moves into God centeredness. It is a place where you detach from the biggest addiction you have, your knowledge. Each soul on the planet today is going through a transformational process. No one is excluded from this for everyone is equal in the eyes of spirit. If you believe that some people need to change their consciousness or wake up and get spiritual you are just feeding their amnesia.

It is important to understand that transformation means to let go of the self identity that you have held sacred for so long and worked so hard to attain. You must stand with humility and choose once again to honor the creative will of God. In this way the cycle of completion is stabilized on your planet and the purpose of destiny is accomplished. That purpose is and has always been the evolution of mankind's soul.

Please explain what you mean by "let go of the self identity that you have held sacred for so long and worked so hard to attain." I thought that knowing our identities, and ourselves past and present, was important?

Knowing yes, attachment no. We refer here to the emotional attachment that an individual has to their identity. Emotional attachment blocks the flow of "becoming."

How can a person eliminate preferences from their mind?

When you have a preference stop focusing on it. Remember energy follows thought.

What is the reason for pain and suffering?

Both remind you that this is not your truth. The more you are reminded the more you remember love.

What can be done to eliminate my tendency to compete with others?

Simply live your dream and stop chasing it.

How can I detach from my knowledge?

Take one thought and look at it from different angles. Stand back from it, beside it, behind it, in front of it and then walk into it joyfully.

The rebirth of life that is now at hand is of cosmic proportions. Every part of the universe is being re-created to manifest God awakening. Mankind is the implement for this wonder to occur as well as the beneficiary of the gifts it bestows.

The new world being created will be ethereal light, not physical density, although the transformed being will be apparent in both domains and capable of functioning in both realms simultaneously.

It is imperative to remember that human history is being transformed. History must transform itself before an individual can transform his/her components, bones, atoms, molecules and so forth. This is because your history represents the totality of who you have become and how that "you" is living in the present moment.

As history dissolves fear passes away. The brain of man will no longer respond to historic memory. This will give everyone the ability to create with cosmic love. In the beginning of time this cosmic power was a known part of your creative expression and fortunately can be so again.

Many of you have reached a cycle of completion. Moving from the beginning to the end and returning back to the recreation point. Others will be arriving soon. No one will be excluded from this process. Superiority will be eliminated from your history for in the eyes of love, life is equal unto life.

Transformation of density into light occurs in waves. The first group of people to ride this wave are now on the upper rungs of the ladder and other groups are quickly following in their footsteps. As each group develops an understanding of cosmic law the threads of known reality can no longer govern you. True understanding gives you the authority to break free of karma and all its trappings.

Every thought you had, be it a second ago, a week ago, a year or a lifetime, is a component of your history. Eliminating history involves the removal of prior thought.

When one can empty the mind of the past, the cosmic power of unconditional love is present.  It would be helpful for everyone to start each day with joy. Joy in its new stage of birth, not the preconceived concept familiar to you.

Upon awakening say, "I am awake within the vibration of joy." Now get up and start your day. For the first 30 minutes of your morning repeat this statement until you have said it a total of 9 times. Nine is the number of completion and completion takes you back to the beginning connecting you with the creative power you were born with.

This statement does not need to be employed in a meditative way. Rather, it should be said while attending to mundane tasks. Taking out the trash, doing the dishes, eating your breakfast, getting ready for work and so on. You will find that if you are awake within the vibration of joy while you take out the trash your experience of this task will change. Being awake within joy changes your perspective, your attitude, your action, and your connection with life. Transformation of your history comes in small packages. Unwrap this package and achievement of your goals are attained.

What will the transformed body of man be like? Will it still have density and form?

There will be form and density to a lesser degree than what is presently known. The light of your auric field will move back inside the body where it originated. This is known as the light within.

Will there still be a physical earth once this transformation has taken place?

Absolutely. The earth is a living entity and will continue to thrive in the presence of grace.

How does history transform itself?

By detaching from past memory and returning to love.
