The Universe Within, The Universe Without

Within you exists a universe that is as vast as the universe without! We have seen in the previous post, (Link Here) that visible light (what we are able to see with our physical eyes) forms only a tiny band of this vast spectrum. This reveals to us that what we are able to perceive through our five physical senses is a minute fraction of the whole.

How do we perceive these electro-magnetic frequencies that are invisible to us? Technology has only recently detected these energies considering the age of our planet. Infrared thermography and Squid based Magnetometers have also only newly documented the existence of the electromagnetic field of the body. Questions that remain unanswered have clues found in the wisdom of ancient sages documented in sacred texts. Remember that what the ancient masters, saints, and prophets have been telling us for thousands of years, science is currently proving through its research and studies. The ancient masters speak to us of the practice of meditation, of which we are able to expand or contract our consciousness at will, as well as awaken the possibility of tapping into the sixth sense of the intuitive faculties.

Therefore if we are to overcome our challenges, it is important to take time in our day to stretch our mental muscles by exploring meditative concepts. The practice of meditation enables us to use our imagination to step outside of our recurring thought processes that often take control over our lives. Meditation is a key tool for shifting one’s perspective off of his or her mental concepts to view his or her own intellect in relation to the rest of the Universe. We can really learn something of importance through this practice.

When we begin to realize that our personality is only one out of three billion souls inhabiting this planet we call Earth, and Earth being one of the smallest planets in our solar system AND our solar system being only an atom in a galaxy that is just one galaxy upon countless other galaxies….. can we logically continue to move forward in our thinking that our opinions and theories centered around a limited human intellect is the RIGHT way? Or are we part of a larger whole? Are we part of a much grander design? And, if we learn to merge with this grand design, can this larger organism reveal universal truths that will lead us to the understanding of the purpose of life and our purpose in it?

Co-Measurement

The purpose of striving to view our external circumstances from a larger picture is to evoke a sense of wonder. When we wonder, we begin to think, to ponder, to contemplate. In our attempt to gain a wider perspective, we begin to step outside the box of the narrowly-defined and limited concepts of our tiny self against the backdrop of an immense universe. When we practice this, there is no doubt that our self-centered concept of self will dissolve in comparison. We become a little less pompous and a lot more humble.

Contemplating the reality of where we are at in terms of our planet, the solar system, and the possibility of other distant stars with planets orbiting around them perhaps supporting some form of life, while at the same time, distant galaxies recede into invisibility, we can learn to perceive our reality on a larger scale. We can begin to perceive our role in terms of being a citizen of the universe.

In a recent post, we learned that scientists consider that there are billions of galaxies, that in their conservative estimate: “the universe must teem with more than 100 trillion civilizations.” In our attempt to contemplate this magnitude, it almost defies our ability to equate with the cosmos in which we exist. What is even more mind-blowing is that “ALL” that scientists are able to observe in this universe is ONLY on a physical spectrum-which is a very thin line of frequency as shown in the chart above. There is still a vastness of cosmos that is above and below that frequency. What is above and below this very thin line of frequency of the physical spectrum of cosmos that science observes? How do we measure up? Do we compare ourselves to a limited defined point of view or to the vastness of the cosmos?

What we learn here is that in order for the individual to measure itself against the vastness of the infinite cosmos, it is necessary to expand consciousness. When we are able to expand our consciousness, we realize the concept of co-measurement which is the ability of the individual to perceive his or her unique role in the evolution of an entire planetary system.

What IS the Purpose of Our Lives?

What is the purpose of Life? Where did we come from? Why are we here? What does this life lead to? These are questions that I have been asking myself since the time I was born. Literally, since the time I was a toddler, I remember experiencing certain states of expanded self-awareness. I remember sensing an eternal comforting Presence surrounding me as I would play in the forest that was my backyard. I was self-aware, ever-present, and connected to my surroundings. I know I was as young as what I speak of, because I remember exactly what I was wearing, what I was doing on that specific day, and my mother has the pictures to witness to that period of time. I did not remember her taking those photos but when I saw them later in my years, I was instantly reminded of my experience with self-conscious awareness. This realization impacted me deeply. This was the first of many deeply profound experiences in those woods that I was raised in my early childhood on Jamison Road in Elma, New York.

Since then, my life has become a journey of self-discovery. A journey of realizing Who I Truly AM, the Real Self beyond the temporary self of the physical body that is conditioned to be molded to, and is pressured to conform to a set of defined expectations impressed upon the mass consciousness of humanity through structures erected through a materialistic and media based society. I have concluded in this journey of self-discovery that the idea of a limited-self that is based on the foundation of a temporal form, no longer serves me.

What I am concerned with is the sensation of a moving life-giving force, a moving steam of consciousness that is flowing through this animated body vehicle right where I AM in this moment and in EVERY moment. What is the nature of this energy? What is its source? How can I access this source, and therefore access greater quantities of this seemingly infinite energy? I am concerned with the intelligence behind this force that I experience as my consciousness which does not allow me to rest but continually pushes me to question the truth of my reality until I discover the answers that I am seeking and until I understand the truth of my being. I demand these answers! I cannot and I will not idle away my time and my energies until I have an understanding as to why I AM WHO I AM. The purpose of this page is to explore the cosmic mystery of life and to discover the keys to understanding our purpose in this grand scheme of things. Attempts to answer the above questions which I have asked of myself, and which have been asked of others since time immemorial is my passion in life. A passion so intense, it has consumed me. My love for solving this universal mystery and uncovering the keys that free the mind, the body, and the soul are what thrill me to the core and offer a sense of purpose to my life. It is with great joy that the opportunity is present to share with you what I have learned in my philosophical and theological studies. For I have discovered as a theologian, that when we blend the knowledge of modern scientific advances with the wisdom of the ages from documented scripture of both East and West, we learn that science is now proving what ancient sages have taught us for thousands of years.

My question to you is this: How did these ancient sages know what they know? How did they grasp these concepts in a time so long ago, when today, we appear to be seemingly more technologically, scientifically, and medically superior? What were there techniques for accessing this information? What were the techniques of the masters and the saints who walked the face of this earth before us, who were ordinary human beings but in their search for truth became extraordinary?

It is my life’s quest to answer these questions and offer processes and techniques that allow one to finally grasp and realize the truth of their origin, nature, and Real Self. Right now, this very moment in time and space can be a starting point for anyone who is willing to embarking on a very exciting journey of self-discovery. It is time to break the mold and step outset of a confining and limited belief system that traps the soul into indentification with a false set of norms. In order to change our life, we must seek radically new thoughts and ways to perceive our reality. This site will challenge your belief system and at the same time create an enlightening environment for you to explore new concepts and ways of perceiving yourself and your purpose in the face of such an immense universe. It is our intention that you discover your supreme importance to the wholeness of this magnificent universe and your interconnectedness to all of life.

How Can I Begin to Uncover My Purpose in Life?

You!....Yes, you are so very special! You have a unique gift to offer this world and the world needs what you have to offer! This is the truth of your existence. You already know and feel this on a deep inner level. Yet, every single person on this planet has a special purpose to fulfill in their lifetime, a mission that is unique to them. You may have a particular strength, or a talent, or a gift that is distinctive to your individuality. It is our purpose in life to discover our purpose if we are to feel that vital joy filled sensation of being fulfilled from within.

The soul knows the true Reality of your inherent creative potential, of your fiery destiny and the means to bring it into external manifestation. When we are not living up to our fullest potential, when we are not living out our purpose on earth, the soul is not at peace. Oftentimes, this causes feelings of anxiety, frustration, and an overwhelming sense of discontent. These feelings of not being satisfied with life or not feeling adequate in our lives arises wholly because we search outside of ourselves for answers and knowledge that can only be obtained from within.

The thread of knowing our true Reality and the value of our self-worth becomes hidden when the lens of the mind is focused on the acquisition of material things and on satisfying the never ending pursuit of pleasure. Man’s identification with the impermanent and changing existence of the tangible world dulls the sense of the soul. The soul is the permanent aspect of our selfhood that becomes buried under layers of false values.

If we are to find happiness, if we are to awaken to a crystal clear understanding of our purpose in life, we must become archaeologists of the Spirit. We must strive daily to uncover the blueprint of our Soul’s fiery destiny. Fundamental to the excavation of our unique identity, our true purpose in life, a person must first define and then refine one’s spiritual identity. We know who we are as physical beings, but do you really know who “I AM”? It is essential to acquire self-knowledge if one is to fully comprehend what “I AM”. This is the requirement that builds the foundation for one to step into their fullest creative potential and accomplish anything of worth.

The best thing we can do right now to move towards a deeper understanding of who “I AM” is to withdraw the senses from one’s external environment and focus the lens of the mind onto their beloved heart. You can do this right now, right where you stand, or sit for that matter. Close your eyes, take a deep breath and center on your heart. Then use the mantra in the image above to call forth the unveiling of your fiery destiny. Quietly repeat this mantra over and over again with love and devotion in your heart. Allow yourself to sit in stillness for a few moments when you are done.

Peace be with you as your fiery destiny reveals itself!

Offering Loving Suppport to Japan

Turbulent times call for tools that wake us up to full realization of our human potential.....

Changes in the environment, politics, the economy, and the effect of natural disasters can cause us to feel like helpless victims living a life of mere chance and circumstance. With the recent disaster of the earthquake and tsumani in Japan, we can choose to sit around and watch more news of the devastation and feel sad or we can choose to let this historic event awaken a new awareness within ourselves to:

• Take some sort of selfless action to give back to the earth…plant a tree, ride a bike or walk to work to reduce gas emissions in the environment, unplug electronic devices not in use, etc.
• Open our hearts more in loving compassion to everyone around us
• Strive to see the beauty present in each moment
• Openly express our gratitude for what we do have in our life
• Nurture ourselves little more each day by tuning into our inner needs and finding ways to joyously express ourselves

I encourage you to spend some time today sending loving thoughts of healing energy to Japan. Visualize the entire country wrapped in a cloud of peace and wholeness……see the nuclear reactors of Fukushima stabilizing themselves and operating at optimal efficiency. Call on your angles or guides to join you in a unified effort as you intentionally support the country of Japan on an energetic level. See the people of Japan being infused with this loving support by finding an inner strength and resolve to discover the courage to move forward in renewal.

This is an easy way to offer selfless service to support the entire country of Japan without leaving the comfort of your own home. Intention and visualization are powerful actions that you can take right now!

Awaken to Your Consciousness!

I saw this piece of paper by Sassafrass Lass and all I could think of was AWAKEN! Since this is my ultimate desire, to awaken to the unlimited possiblities of my consciousness in each and every moment, I had to create this layout on a piece of canvas. Where do you think I placed it?........By my bed of course!

My intention for this creation is that each and every morning this piece of art will serve to remind me of my ultimate desire. What better way then to anchor this affirmation into a beautiful piece of art that will serve as a focal point and reminder of that which you desire in life. Upon waking in the morning, I will reinforce to my subconscious mind that what I wish to achieve. Not only am I imprinting this affirmation into the creative energy that flows through all living things, but I am starting my day off in a positive way!

When you start your day off with positive thoughts and intentions, you can be sure that you will attract experiences of a like nature. This LO makes me so happy! It was fast and easy to make. this project will be featured in my new book, and will be expanded on in more detail. I would love to hear about any intentions that you are currently creating for yourself. You can contact me via email, liz@creatingintentions.com. You can sign up to receive more information about what I am doing by signing up on my website. It should be up and fully running by the end of the week!

What Do You Desire?

The first step in creating the life of your dreams is to clearly state what it is that you desire in life. You may have a plan, goal, or idea that you want to achieve and move towards. You may have certain attitudes or recurring emotional states that you would like to seek change in or heal. Whatever is happening at this moment in your life experience, you definitely have a dream that you hold for yourself or someone you love. The first step in moving towards fulfilling that goal is to hold the conscious awareness in your mind of that which you seek.

State it clearly and out loud.

I wish.....

I want.....

I desire....

Know that you are meant to receive all that you desire in life. Think about your dream in detail. Let it unfold in your mind. Focus on the positive outcome of your dream being fulfilled.

Check back tomorrow to learn about the second step in turning your thoughts into a realized outcome.

One Touch of Nature Makes the Whole World Kin. - William Shakespeare

Most of the greatest writers, poets, artists, and philosophers of our time have written or expressed in some form their awareness of an intelligent, living presence that flows through all livings things. This presence, which I refer to as creative energy, is what animates us as humans, and it is that which guides, heals, and inspires us to grow and expand in life.

Being in the beauty of nature is one of the easiest ways to sense this living presence of creative energy. If you take time to sit quietly in nature, you will inevitably revel in its wonder. It is likely that you, too, may be able to sense a living presence in everything around you. This living presence is the same creative energy that flows through you and every other living person, animal, plant, and mineral. By becoming aware of the presence of creative energy within all living things, we can start to connect with it and begin to understand it.

Creative energy can be accessed and harnessed by way of the subconscious mind by anyone who is aware of their ability to do so. It is not more or less in any one individual by way of religion, creed, status, or race. It is the SAME throughout us all and is what connects us to each other on a non-physical level. What separates us and what makes us different from one another is the level of our conscious awareness of the presence of creative energy within ourselves. Our way of thinking and the beliefs we hold is what shapes the world around us, and it is how we choose to express ourselves on a physical level that keeps us individually separate from one another.

Every one person is at their own level of awareness. To be conscious of your way of thinking and your awareness of a presence of creative energy is to awaken to discovering your inner potential as a human being. We are meant to live fulfilled lives with all that we can imagine for ourselves.

Let nature be your teacher for the day. Go for a walk or sit in your garden or a nearby park. As you experience the beauty of nature, allow your conscious thoughts to ponder the intelligence that created everthing around you. Sense the aliveness that nature exudes, even if you have to imagine it!

To Live With Awareness

To live with awareness is to be conscious of the fact that we are more than just a physical body. It is to be conscious of the fact that we also have a mental body that is equipped with thought processes.

As we go through our day to day experiences, our conscious mind perceives the reality of our physical existence through our five senses. The way we perceive and shape the world around us starts with our thoughts and feelings.

To become consciously aware of the nature of our thoughts is the first step in expanding our lives with intended thought. As you become aware of each thought that enters your consciousness, you can choose and decide in the moment that the thought arises, whether or not it is in alignment with that which you are intending to create in your life. If it is not, you can decide to shift the thought to one that is of a more positive focus towards the outcome or life experience that you are trying to create for yourself.

Your conscious thinking is what gives direction to the creative energy of the subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind always responds to the nature of your thoughts by guiding you towards experiences that the conscious mind is directing it to. As you learn more about how the two realms of the mind work together, you can harness the powers of your subconscious mind and the creative energy within, to create life experiences of your deepest desires.

In my book, Creating Intentions, I will give a detailed explanation of how the two spheres of the mind operate. In understanding the deep inner workings of the mind, you will discover how to utilize the power of the creative energy within your subconscious mind through conscious thought processes and the art of scrapbooking.

You can do this right NOW! Begin by consciously observing your thoughts, watch them, and listen to them. I will continue to post little tidbits of information and scrapbooking projects to help guide, uplift and inspire you throughout the process.

I would love to receive information on intentions that you are trying to create for yourself! You can visit my website, http://www.creatingintentions.com/ to sign up to receive more information on when my book will be released.

Laugh - together as much as possible.....

I created this layout based on the desire for my two oldest daughters to have as many experiences as possible in their lives together that are filled with laughter and good times. My desire was born from the conscious awareness that up until recently there had been a considerable amount of friction between them. My conscious intention, which can also be viewed as a prayer, is to communicate to the creative energy that flows through each of them and myself of the image that I am choosing to uphold and positively focus on. As I focus on this image, I am imagining the end result of the desired outcome occurring in the NOW of this moment and as they continue on through their lives.

When I snapped this picture of them, I happened to be walking through the kitchen and caught them in the act of total and complete silliness. They were sitting on the kitchen table happily shooting the breeze and just cracking up. As always, I had my camera on me, so I quickly snapped a picture to capture the moment on film. This has become one of my all time favorite pictures of them.

Most of the scrapbooking supplies that I used in this layout had just arrived in a monthly kit that I currently subscribe to from Scrap for a Cure. I am always excited to use new products and my new kit contained the perfect embellishments and papers in colors that supported the mood and emotions that I was intending to create and convey. I also picked up the title “Laugh” from their monthly guest designer. This project will be featured in my new book where you will have the opportunity to read and discover more about the effects of color and how it affects humans on a subconscious level.

Currently, I have this completed layout hanging up on my wall in plain view. The overall layout has become a reminder and a focal point for me as I continue to reinforce to the creative energy of my subconscious, what it is that I intend to create as a desired outcome.

You can find out more about the techniques I used in the creation of this project in my new book called Creating Intentions. Learn how to expand your life experiences through conscious thought intention and the art of scrapbooking. You can go to my website at http://www.creatingintentions.com/ to register to be notified when my book will become available.

Creating Intentions Purpose

The creative energy of our subconscious mind reveals to us everything we need to know in every moment. Creating Intentions purpose is to help you to understand and to trust the nature of that creative energy within you. It is our hope and dream to guide and support you as you learn to expand your life with intended thoughts, thereby consciously creating your life experiences and living out the fulfillment of your deepest desires.

What is Creating Intentions?

Creating Intentions is based on the belief that there is a creative energy that flows through everything in this physical reality. As human beings, we are more than what we physically perceive ourselves to be. Looking past the reality of the physical body and how it operates, we are faced with the consciousness of our mind and its inner workings. This creative energy flows through us in the form of thought. By thinking positive and joyful thoughts, we can attract and create a life filled with experiences that are of our deepest desires.
