The Diving Board

by White Feather

Life is so beautiful, so magnificent, so wonderful, so outrageously fantastic, how can anyone complain? There is so much beauty in nature and in our world it can take our breath away. There is so much love; oh, there is so much love that we can be full of it every minute of our lives. There is so much love that every experience can shower us with it. There is so much love that we can live every minute in ecstasy. There is so much love that we can bond with every human on the planet. There is so much love that our every action can exude that love. There is so much love that we can all live our lives in a state of constant joy. There is so much love that every human on the planet is transformed into a divine being. There is so much love that our every action is full of that love and spreads more love around the planet. There is so much love this planet could explode with love.

There is so much love yet we fight it and resist it. Why? What are we trying to teach ourselves through our resistance? By living what love is not are we reinforcing what love is? Through comparison, are we teaching ourselves to appreciate that omnipresent love? By denying that love are we preparing ourselves to joyously dive back into it with an even more intense furvor? Are we afraid to look in that mirror and see the love or are we gaining a better understanding of it by glancing away from it ever so briefly? Is fear merely a tool we're using to briefly hesitate before jumping off the diving board in order reorganize our focus before surrendering to the dive into that pool of love? Does our resistance intensify the love or merely intensify our appreciation of it? What games are we playing?

Baggage

by White Feather

Bring into your being all the vibrations that you enjoy. Bring in all the vibrations that make you feel powerful and full of your being. Bring in everything that makes you feel good. Bring in those vibrations that make you feel like the creator of your reality.

Bring those vibrations in. Empty yourself to allow room for those vibrations to come in. Empty your self to provide the room for every ounce of joy you can attract to come in and fill you.

There needs to be an opening for these things to come in. What is blocking that opening for you? What can you release to provide more open space for those things to come in through? How much can you clear out to make a huge opening? How much can you release? How much can you relegate to the dust heap of the past?

The more we can release the more we can open up to new potentials. The more we can forget and release, the more new exciting adventures can materialize.

How many exciting adventures lie at the doorstep waiting for us to clear the space to allow them in?

When you go on an exciting trip how much baggage do you pack? How much open space do you leave for new adventures to come in? How many pages do you leave open for new adventures to be written upon?

Where is your planning? Is it in the now? Is it in respect to the past and how much space does that leave open to you? How much of it is squeezed by fears of the future?

Does each new day bring a new adventure? How can you include a new adventure in each new day? Does it involve clearing out the space for it? Does each new day come cluttered with old junk? Is it necessary to clear out some of that junk to make room for new adventures? How often do we clear our caches?

How do we face new challenges? How do we face new adventures? How do face each new day?

How much baggage do we carry into each new day? How much fear do we bring into each new day? How much reluctance do we hold in order to stay in our comfort zones? Can we embrace each new day thoroughly clear of all past baggage? How hard is that? How easy is that?

Each new day we are provided with a new door to walk through. Do we peer through that door? Or do we walk brazenly through it, bravely walking into what the universe reflects to us?

Imagine writing a to-do list for your self. Imagine writing out all the things you want to experience. Imagine expressing all of your hopes and desires and expectations. And then denying it when it shows up at your door. Imagine dreaming of everything you ever wanted and then shutting the door on yourself when it appeared.

That's what we do every single day. That's what we do to almost all of our hopes and dreams and aspirations.

Why do we do that? Why do we put struggle into every equation? Why do we deny ourselves our birthright? Why do we say "no" to everything that we want?

It seems like we have to turn ourselves inside out in order to get what we want and desire. It seems like we have to fight our selves to get what we want. But if we turn everything inside out, including our affirmations, then we can unflip our desires and allow them to be overcome with the creative energies fed to us by our Sources.

Our Source is feeding us energy to energize everything that we want but we present that energy with what we want in a backward fashion. We show the backside of it and then that backside becomes manifested. We need to flip-flop our intentions. We need to release all the condiitons we place on our intentions because it is those conditions that our Source energy first hits and energizes. So instead of our intentions being manifested our conditions are manifested.

To manifest we must be a blank slate. We must have no conditions whatsoever. Whatever conditions we place on our desires and goals get manifested instead of the desires and goals.

The NOW and the Life Spark

by White Feather

When there are several occurrences that deflect your attention from yourself in the NOW it becomes easy to get trapped in those events. Maintaining the NOW can seem difficult. We slip out of it and soon realize that we're out of it for a long time.

It seems like a struggle to stay in the NOW but as long as we are struggling we cannot get into it. There is no struggle in the NOW. We cannot struggle to get into the NOW. We can only release all struggle to get there.

We must feel the NOW in order to align with it. Any thoughts of the future or past takes us out of the NOW. Guilt from the past and anxiety for the future immediately creates struggle and we are no longer in the NOW.

The NOW is where we create. The NOW is where we live. The NOW is where we find joy. The NOW is where the physical and non-physical sides of us come together.

We are constantly spinning. The physical part of us and the non-physical part of us chase each other around in a circle around our center. That center can only be accessed in the NOW.

Broaden your perceptions to see more than what your struggles illustrate. In the center struggle is impossible. In the center we are all that is. If we are all that is we are instantly the solution to any perceived struggle. All struggle is canceled out. We are all that is. But when we separate our perceptions and only see a limited view then we never see the solutions that are part of every struggle. We fight and fight without seeing the solution that came with the struggle.

In the center we are all that is and we can see all that is. And there is absolutely no need for any struggle whatsoever. How does one get into the center? By being in the NOW. Our focus is so scattered outside of the NOW that we don't hardly even see the NOW right before us. Every moment we can fully spend in the NOW will help bring us back to our true self. The more we surrender our struggles and our obsession with the future and the past, the more we can open up to the NOW. The more we experience the NOW, the easier it will be to get into it and stay there.

It takes practice. We are so conditioned to live outside of the NOW that it's hard to break that conditioning. But that is the answer to finding joy and peace.

Bring with you an appreciation and joy for life and you can go anywhere in the universe. For the universe is inside you. To travel the universe one must go within. Go deeper and deeper into ever smaller layers of your being. Go down into the cells and then down into the atoms and molecules and then go deeper still. Go deeper and deeper still until you come to an infinitesimally small pinpoint of light. That pinpoint of light is you and it is the whole universe. Everything in the outer layers, including our bodies, are holographic manifestations. They are illusions created to live in an illusory physical reality. You in that body is not you. You are that tiny pinpoint of life at the very smallest level of your being. That tiny pinpoint is the opening through which your Source sources you the universal energy that gives you life. Through that tiny pinpoint you can connect with the entire universe and an unlimited amount of energy to create with.

Go within and down into the smallest layers, deeper and deeper until you find that pinpoint. If you are struggling in any way you are not going within but rather without. The farther out you go the denser you become and the more struggle you find. Time exists only on the outer levels. On the deeper levels in the center and at that pinpoint there is no time. There is only the now. That is your life spark That is your Source. When we can reconnect with that we realize our true divine Self and our unlimited creative power.
