After listening to a friend during a fit of complaining, and as I listened to my own inner self-talk, I realized that all the complaints we make are based on things outside ourselves that we perceive as imperfect. We rarely hear people complaining about their own behavior, but often they complain about the behavior of others, or the government, or the weather.

If we didn’t waste so much time projecting outward, using our myopic viewpoints to judge everything around us, we’d have more time to project inward, to root out our own faults and take joy in our spiritual relationships.

The more we focus inward on our spiritual growth, the happier we’ll be, and the happier those around us can be.

Eliminate complaints forever!

Affirm: I focus on perfecting my own being.

This world, our Beloved Mother, is now being tested by letting more of Father (the God-light) in. This is the result of letting the two merge.

Human consciousness is the result.

So before this, was I unconscious? The errors we make are due to ignorance and lack of spiritual education. The more we spread spiritual love consciousness, the lovelier our world will be.

Human consciousness is generally a much lower vibration of consciousness than is the Divine Consciousness, however we can alter that with meditation on raising our vibrations to resonate with love consciousness… and then expand that outward to share the bliss and joy with all human beings in our home, in our town, in our region… keep expanding outward, ever outward, include all the people of the world. As individuals we can have a positive effect on others involved in discord, even if they be on the other side of the planet!

The earth now rises up to become enlightened - one mind-spirit, one heart, at a time.

I keep refining the purpose of this blog, and as I do it I see I’m looking for more authentic ways to just be me. Me and my blog - a natural fit which I seem to think needs to please other people just because it is on the internet. But must it? Seriously, is it wrong to have a blog that mainly pleases just me?

I’ve done a lot of internet writing over the last ten years. Much of it has been to try to fill the needs of other people. I resist posting for my own edification. It is too public! But this blog is a very deep, personal journey from spiritual seeking to finding, to seeking for more, understanding deeper truths, and sharing. What I most want to share is the authentic spiritual seeking that goes on behind my outward appearance. I want to share the spirit of spiritual service that combines with everything else that is me.

No two seekers will be the same, but we have similarities. Everyone is unique, but tied to the cosmic adventure of being human. I can speak only from my perspective, and admire the spiritual seeking perspectives of others. Sometimes they inspire me, and send me off in new directions.

Today’s thought is simply this - to be oneself, to appreciate the joy within oneself.

An affirmation for this: “I am unique and able to share my authentic self.”

Yesterday as I wrote my morning pages my mind turned into a spiritual direction of prayer and healing for the world. I gathered my journaling into a lens called Prayer for Healing the World. My idea is that we can pray for those that oppress us and in healing them, the world will become healed. Please join me in trying this . . .

Here’s a very simple affirmation for today: “I can relax and enjoy life.”

Say it ten times and write it on a card where you’ll see it later. Every time you notice the card, say this another ten times. Affirmations work by programming your sub-conscious mind.

I’m formulating these affirmations during a meditation session especially for finding a divinely inspired affirmation to post here. This one was probably also inspired by a Coast to Coast AM show I listened to recently, The Psychic Special. (You must be a Streamlink member to listen to it at this point.) The last psychic on the show was Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz. She spoke of medical conditions being outward evidence of internal truths. One of my medical conditions is high blood pressure, so I reason that must mean I’m feeling pressured. Indeed, looking back I can see I developed this condition at a time of my life that I was under an enormous amount of stress. Therefore, I need to learn to live without stress. I believe that’s why this affirmation came up during this morning’s meditation session.
