Personal Evolution


Be thankful this day for personal evolution. 
As humans our physical self evolves naturally. As spiritual beings we evolve through self awareness. There is little control in the physical evolutionary process. Our appearance is due to the attributes given to us from the gene pool of our family and birth parents. Though there are times where we are unhappy with this appearance, we alter ourselves with surgeries or harsh beauty regiments to become more pleasing to our own eye. The result of this can stem from verbal or physical abuse as a child, other forms of neglect or not receiving the proper love. As a collective we pay a lot of attention to our physical self and neglect the spiritual self. By no means am I saying you shouldn't look and feel your best. We all should, but think about why you want to alter your appearance.What will you satisfy if you do? When we are unhappy with our appearance, there is obviously a much deeper issue we must acknowledge. With the acknowledgment of the issue, our self perception changes. We begin to look at ourselves differently and become "lost", confused, or even clouded in judgment. When these emotions arise and views change, it is the sign of personal/spiritual evolution, yet if we give in to the same feelings, we devolve. As an individual, you must look deeper within self and have conversations with God, self, a family member, friend, or confidant. We seek answers to questions, we already have the answers too. Those closet to us reaffirm our own truths.

These truths are written on your soul. Yes, we feel lost, confused, misguided, less than what we "know" ourselves to be, however it is the painful process of growing. Think of a toddler asking their parents twenty questions, they are new to the world and they look to them for guidance. Now think of yourself asking the same or similar questions, knowing what you know now. It can be difficult to change your perception of what you already know.The truth is nothing really ever changes, just the perception of it. Our soul knows' the truth of it all, yet we were misled by the earlier teachings of the world. We forgot who to trust and have faith in. We must have trust and faith in ourselves and the Creator, not matter how much it hurts spiritually. Times life situations call for a complete examination to fully grasp our purpose, our own personal truth. The discovery of this truth brings unbridled joy. This joy is unlike any other joy. It's a joy that can not be shaken, no matter what life has presented to you in the moment. Being in the "now" aides in the personal evolution. It helps us to appreciate our perception of self, others and the world as it simple is. The change of perception is the awakening process of self evolution. Self evolution is the understanding and acceptance of your own personal truth derived from the soul. 

Be thankful this day and everyday for acknowledgment to grow inward to nurture true self perceptions.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the truth of self being reaffirmed to us through a trusted support network
Be thankful this day and everyday for the acceptance of the true perception of spiritual evolution. 

Evolution of Space
Sitting in the vastness of the space that truly is
Walking through the invisible energy of life

The perceived space in never empty just unseen
Feel the tug of creation created by self compelled to just be

Over filling the space with excess later to pare down to the necessary to appreciate what is given
Now having the desired abundance

Clearing the space birthed to make room more
Moving on in courage and faith to accept the now life has given

The bravery of self existence in a place of acceptance and love
Knowing all is bigger than self
Just a fraction of Source

One space shared by many with one purpose
The collective growth and individual development

Who is and what is the space evolved from
Meager beginnings to abundant grandeur of purpose with passion

The vastness of oneness now understood with respect to self and honor to others
Harmony and love above all else

Now sitting in the evolved space of oneness
Of love
The original creation of experience

One space
My space
All space evolved from the inception of creation from the first incarnation

The evolution is a constant change of space
Expand and contract through the acceptance of our creation of purpose

We are a matter of space evolved to energy manifested
We are time
We are infinite
We are space evolved

Self

Be thankful this day for self.

Recently I wrote about relationships, and how we must have a relationship with ourself. To create a healthy relationship with ourself, we must look at our purpose(s) and passion(s). All we do and are revolves around them, both consciously and unconsciously. When a goal, job, or any action or thought feels forced, it is not in alignment with purpose. When there is a natural flow to all we do, when it feels effortless, then we are in alignment with our purpose. The joy exuded from the purpose is our passion. This passion drives us to completion of the desired purpose. Knowing there are life situations where not everything is in alignment with our purpose, we have to accept it as it is temporarily, until something more fruitful takes its place. This is where we begin to examine and question all that is happening in our life now. When we begin to question ourselves, it is a sign of evolution within. With this evolution, we look at our situations, possible outcomes, people and their intentions for us, and all excess in our lives. When I say excess, I'm referring too emotional and material. This thorough life examination can take weeks or even a few years. During this time there will be life changing questions and situations. The most common question will be "why". The answers may not come immediately. With each answer received, we release something, (an emotion or item) and/or someone, anything we feel is not serving our higher goal, purpose or function. This will most likely happen during your period of rest. The period of rest is the time allotted for our soul and body to rejuvenate. This can occur in a waking as well as a sleeping state.

Through this period, it may feel we are suffering because of the emotional shedding we experiencing. It is a time of challenges leading to evolved growth of self. This level of growth challenges our internal environment, our soul. Whatever the challenge or situation is, it is meant for growth. We often seek external sources for guidance, times to be reaffirmed by our own instincts. As humans, we desire reassurance to feel good about ourselves. Ultimately, the reassurance received feeds the human ego. Our souls does not require such reassurance. The souls requires love and proper guidance, through this the soul, self can and will flourish. This guidance is obtained from those whom God has placed in your life to serve you at the desired capacity. The relationship with our self is the most important one of all relationships. When we learn of self, we learn of others. We learn how to treat, respect, love, honor, cherish, be kind, and care for others. We preform these actions from a genuine place, because we would want the same. As a collective we are more alike than different. All relationships begin with self. If we see energy of ourselves, we can bring this world closer to harmonic vibration of peace, love and gratitude.

Be thankful this day and everyday for the growth and development of self.
Be thankful this day and everyday to release the excess in your life now.
Be thankful this day and everyday for those in your life to offer love and guidance.

Design of Me

A blue print of me
Defined by He
DNA who made me
Led me to life

Design of me living life as it should be free

Life’s trials
Life’s loyalties
Testing me
Counting on me
Astound by what this is to be

Design of me living life as it should be free

Reflection of what is to be
The company I choose to keep
Mirror image of a former me

Design of me living life as it should be free

Unique more than a technique
Charm
Wisdom
Lessons learned
You are to be better
A work in progress

Design of me living life as it should be free

Combination of what was is and shall be
Altered the plan from choices given
Livin’ the freedom to choose
Now a part of me

Design of me living life as it should be free

Soon to be whole
Weaved from experiences and teachings
Leading me
Creating a new design of me

Soul


Be thankful this day for your soul.

Many of us question what our soul is. When most of us thinks about our soul, we think about our personality and various characteristics to make us unique. That part is true as it is to identify us from others. However, our soul is more than just a unique signature.  It is the energy carrying this vessel, this human body. Our soul is our essence, part of the spark of life connecting us to each other and all that truly IS. The soul is us, our intuitive guide during this incarnation of life. It's like having your own internal tour guide. When we think of ourselves or unique signature, how we look, dress, act, speak and listen, we tend to forget about our soul. Daily we think we are being led by the processes of the mind, but it's our soul working on a super-conscious level speaking to other levels of consciousness. The super-conscious works on a deeper level than our subconscious. The subconscious preforms involuntary and motor functions. The super-conscious draws from past or in-between life experiences to guide you in fulfilling your purpose and work chosen for this incarnation. With each incarnation we enter into a partnership with ourselves, host body and God.

This eternal partnership was created at the birth of our creation from God. Our creation was for a reason to experience various levels of emotions, situations, capabilities, and faculties. Our soul agreed to experience each life to the fullest while fulfilling its purpose(s). With each life experience, we learn and grow, both spiritually and physically and times exceed self imposed limitations and expectations. Through the achievement of said experiences, the self burden is lifted. We must come to realize we are more than flesh, muscles, blood, organs, and cells. We are energy manifested first. All else is secondary, yet necessary to experience life on Earth. Our soul is designed to fully engage life in the many facets the human mind created, though conceived spiritually. Aside from our soul being a guide, it is our protector, refuge and sanctuary from all harm. Our soul is a piece of God and for this reason alone, we all shall live harmoniously and joyously among each other. We are ultimately connected, being birthed from one Source, God.

Be thankful this day and everyday for the sustaining energy your soul provides.
Be thankful this day and everyday for connection we have to others through our soul.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the love, joy and birth given to us by our Creator, God.


Soul

Apart of He created form the earth we walk
a single cell one day the bell will toll for all souls

A tenacious vessel carries me
able to preserver through trials of life
as I sustain revive my vessel becoming my sanctuary

As I speak to you
believing in the words spoken from past lives
longing for an understanding of what I am soon to be
accept me
then come one day no surprise I’ve taken over

Accomplished the deeds of  this vessel
laid to rest soon to be renewed
the eyes gaze beyond the sky
looking for my new sanctuary
feeding off the elements

I am your core
I made you whole
just like the air you don’t see
you believe
you breathe me

Protecting me
those who deserve and saving the disbelievers
whenever they call
whenever they fall
traveling through space and time intertwine with beings

Relationships

Be thankful this day for relationships.

We all have relationships with our family, friends, colleagues, pets, spouses, potential mates, God and more. All these relationships fill a necessary part of our life, yet have varying degrees of love or any other emotion tied to the person, people or being involved. At some capacity these relationships is a reflection of our personality. Each person or being reflects a portion of who we are at the time in our life, while developing and learning more about ourselves. This is what ties us together. However, what most of us fail to foresee is the end of the relationship or movement in a different direction. When a relationship is dissolved or moved to a different place, we feel sadness, confusion and times joy. The reason for this miscued emotion(s), is most of us thought a particular relationship would last a lifetime or we did all we could to make it work. A dear friend told me "When God is ready to promote you not everyone is meant to go with you." This statement is true. All our relationships do last a lifetime, they are there for as long as they are needed for us to learn more about ourselves and who we really are. All who we allowed into our lives to some degree is a reflection of us or desire to be. We get so distracted by our relationships, and often forget about us. We forget about the true plan, path and purpose before us. We forget how to love ourselves and expect to come from other sources. We must have a relationship with ourselves.

The relationship with ourself should be limitless and without preconditions. We have to give ourself permission to love ourselves the way it is intended for each of us. With this permission, comes the freedom to fully express ourselves. This expression offers new levels of joy and love for self. We all love differently, but we do love. The relationship with ourself is the key to understanding others in our life and why they are there. We have to recondition ourselves through self forgiveness and compassion. Once these steps are taken then we can nurture ourselves, through this nurturing comes self acceptance. Self acceptance is very crucial in our relationship with self. We have to accept ourselves as we are, even with what we call flaws. After we fully accept ourselves, then we can change or improve upon our flaws. This level of acceptance send a message of gratitude to the Universe, saying I appreciate myself as I am. We begin to open up the flow of self love and a new relationship with self. Once the relationship of self changes so does the relationship with others and often invite new relationships matching the new love and acceptance of self. This is a continuing process of our relationship with self. As we evolve and grow, so does our relationship.

Be thankful this day and everyday to understand our personal connection to others.
Be thankful this day and everyday to love and accept ourselves fully.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the evolution of the relationship with self.

A new

Concentration of the emancipation liberation of past relations whether friends I’ve out grown others that made me moan

As the sands of time refine a beauty true choosing life over death caring grace gracefully beyond what knowledge seeks what knowledge knows

To forget the forgotten honestly crossing my mind with kind memories till the gleam fades to nothingness like the days wept and never slept

Not looking at second chances though I received my fare share one time no mistakes careful as time then the bell chimes

Feel a release in the flux of energy sent to down crown my thoughts maintain sustain the evolution of freedom

Reached a plateau of peace in my château from asking the questions of time of prayer bestowed benefits beautifully bustling bliss belong to my future

Picturing paths possessed poetically rhythmically resounding truthfully towering comfortably joyous supple sensations smiles proudly of a job well done

In a place where I reside redefine royalty ascending to levels of oneness to satisfy myself

Start with the beginning to reach the end depends on the conquest of conquering only then to be reborn to start a new

Responsibility

Be thankful for responsibility.

Not to confuse accountability and responsibility, accountability is the ownership of the actions taken and responsibility is the awareness of the action. There are a few alternate results for the actions we take, however most of us are unaware of the actions. We live most of our adult life on auto pilot or subconsciously. As children, we are programed by our environment and observations of what actions to take when various situations arise. Seldom as adults we learn new responses to situations in our new surrounding environment. We react to similar situations from learned behaviors or pre-programed reactions from childhood or other adult situations.  With us acting instinctively or subconsciously, we are not aware of what is was we done. The subconscious mind only lives in the now. For example, some one who is temporarily insane. They can kill a loved one, steal or act out any other abnormal behavior not natural to them. When the action is completed, the person is in shock and disbelief. They were not aware of their action, yet they still have to take ownership of it. How can we become more responsible for our actions or any other facet of life? We have to reprogram ourselves.

Take a look at the various CEOs and entertainers who lived a life of poverty, before their lives changes. They all had a story, were a product of the environment and was a static. Of course they had to first take ownership of the actions they desired to take. Once they made the conscious effort, they became aware of the actions taken. The conscious mind is like a time machine and a computer. It can go back and forth in time, to plan out our relative lives and relive moments. It can also override pre-programed behaviors. Reprogramming is definitely harder than is sounds. Think about how hard it is to reprogram a computer if you don't know how. Just think about it, we have rewire decades of pre-programed learned actions, thoughts and behaviors. It can a bit taxing at first, but it can be done. The first step to reprogramming is to become consciously aware of our actions, thoughts and behaviors. There are various methods to do this, find what best suites you. Once we become aware of our ownerships, life become simpler and more joyful. As individuals we must make an effort to change, but you have to desire and be the change filling your heart. This awareness is of love and joy for self, without those, what is left.

Be thankful this day and everyday for the protection the subconscious mind gives us. 
Be thankful this day and everyday for the awareness gained through conscious effort
Be thankful this day and everyday for being the heartfelt changed desired of self.

Sign

The universal language we all know and see yet ignore constantly searching for the answers that are staring at us

Prayers sent up in hopes of the release of a life of wrong turns wrong people sensing things can be better by letting go

It’s for you to see an only for your and be ignored for so long wheels spent passion gone broken down

The inner strength regained from the cycle of pain where the attention was given now living fluidly

Accountability

Be thankful this day for accountability.

Accountability offers us peace of mind and security. Our own personal accountability take place daily with the words, actions and thoughts. To some degree we take responsibility for what occurs in our life, the portion we control. It is when somethings goes awry or beyond our control, accountability is lost. This is when the "blame game" takes place. However, when someone steps up to account for the situation at hand, a peace has come over the situation and everyone is calm. When there is an outcome to our disliking, we are shameful. Then we attempt to hide what has occurred and then become filled with guilt. These emotions of shame and guilt, couple with the action of hiding are common among those who feel lost. The emotionally lost desire direction. The reason for their actions and emotions is to find direction to account for their life. What have I contributed to the world sustaining me? What can I account for in my life that matter of made a difference? These are questions I once asked myself. When we look at ourselves in moments of despair, conflicts, or depression, we must review our life actions and be honest with ourselves. It is the smallest action often going unnoticed. There are times where we brighten someone's day or brought comfort to another. Being accountable strengthens our soul and fills us with courage and confidence. Our personal accountability starts the cure of a whole.

As a collective we are less accountable. When there is a multitude of people to blame, we do. It's a protective instinct. When we see an out, we take it, even if it means blaming another in the crowd. This action solves nothing, especially if the victim of the blame is an innocent by-standard. Now you have created guilt and shame for self, then you have to hide and cover your tracks. This does no one any good. This shows the lack of confidence in an individual to sacrifice the collective. We all have been in a situation where we knew the person responsible for a misdeed. However no one told the authoritative person. We all knew the result. We all suffered the consequence, until one person cracked. Then we all complained and called them out their name, though secretly some of us was happy they told. What are we sacrificing and gaining by taking someone else's accountability? What are they loosing when they don't step up? As an collective accountability we can end so much violence, crime and hardships just by being accountable for the occurrences in our own lives. Once accepted, we become masters of our fate and examples for others.

Be thankful this day and everyday for strength our personal accountability provides us.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the lessons learned sacrificing our own accountability.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the for becoming masters of out fate through accountability.


Rose Colour

Seeing the world with black and white noise all that surround shaded to fit the mesh of life

The darkened days followed by the absence of purpose soon to be enlightened with the colour of optimism lined with silver

The positive flows to and through your being as the sea of energy washes the negative left standing resilient eyes open to the colour of the day

Trust

Be thankful this day for trust.

Trust offers us peace and security in the life we live. Actually peace and security makes trust. Peace is the emotional aspect, while security is the physical. It allows us to open ourselves up to family, friends, and strangers. This level of openness provides a sensation running through every emotional facet of life. Trust is also coupled with love, safety, care, hope, and many other underlined emotions. Not only does trust heighten our emotional states, it aides in our physical actions. Do we trust ourselves enough to love with an open heart, preform acrobatic feats or simple daily tasks. What makes us so trusting to others? We understand why we are trusting to family. We have the courage to meet new people and welcome them into our lives. Over a period of time we trust them as well. The trust we give ourselves is the same trust we extend to others. If we offer peace and security to ourselves, then it is given back. Yes I know, now there are instances where we trust with a whole heart and it's still taken advantage of. What then? Even though we leave ourselves open, and become vulnerable to having hurt emotions and insecure about ourselves, It's the peace and security we have within us to withstand the trauma taken place. We all know trust is more than the emotional gauge of feeling comfortable with ourselves and others. Trust is very fragile and easily broken. The broken trust results in having less faith in the one who broke the trust and ourselves. We start to second guess our choices in life until the trust can be rebuilt. How can it be rebuilt and fortified?

Trust is apart of our intuition as well. It guides us to knowing what is right, how to act, and being open to possibilities. As a collective we have trust issues. We feel someone is always out to "get us". You may call is paranoia or insecurity. The fact is we have it look in us to understand why we don't trust ourselves. To heal the broken trust, we must find compassion in us to understand the insecurity. With the understanding comes forgiveness. This is how the broken trust in us is healed, then we can relearn to trust others. Unless someone, even yourself gives any doubt to the healing process it won't work. We must let go of any thought of previous transgressions of trauma. The soul can only carry so much before it gives up and requires healing of it's own. We must remain aware of the trust given and received to know the boundaries allowed to be crossed. The crossed boundaries is a sign of respect in trust.

Be thankful this day and everyday for the peace and security we have daily within us.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the openness given and received by us and others.
Be thankful this day and everyday for the respect of trust gained through life exploration.
