Contemplate: oneness with the Creative Source

Are you growing? Growing is about movement from one point to another in a forward motion; taking the situations in which we find ourselves and using them or applying them toward a new desired application or model. It is about learning from the situations in which we find ourselves and getting out of the wirlwind which just continuously goes round and round. Growth is about transferring knowledge from one situation to another for translation intended for improvement and the betterment of a situation. The very definition of grow means to "spring up and develop to maturity". Ask yourself the question 'what am I here to express'; more importantly, begin to answer thought-by-thought, image-by-image, spoken word-by-spoken word, and action-by-action: this greatness is what my life is about.

As we contemplate on the Creative Source of Life the answer begins to manifest through our every expression. To contemplate means [to view or consider with continued attention, to meditate on]. You see, we can do nothing of true importance without acknowledging the Creative Source, irregardless as to what we name it. We can do nothing without the Creative Source because we are nothing without It.

Our growth is the projection of our private devotion. What are you entertaining in your thinking--in your mental realm? Think on the qualities of life that you want to experience such as beauty, love, joy, peace, integrity, wisdom, poise, abundance, sharing, kindness. These are some of the attributes of God the Creative Source and Substance in which we have beingness. This means we must be in the flow or on the same page with this Energy before we can activley and consciously participate with the Will of our Source with any regularity or consistency. We must learn everything we can about the QUALITIES, and ATTRIBUTES of God which tells us exactly who we are in miniature individuality. Our growth and maturity in the Living Spirit depends on our daily practice of oneness. Contemplation on our oneness with God is our daily practice and brings forth our daily bread which in turn delivers our provision.

Bling-Bling Value


A quote from http://www.lifeabundanceinfo.com/ led me to write this post. The quote is: " 'If you really do put a small value upon yourself, rest assured that the world will not raise your price.' " - Anonymous

True value is not about how we adorn or embellish ourselves with gems and glittering gold nor silken threads all suited up for the greatest of compliments. As a matter of truth, the best threads and the most brilliant shine comes as a result of the purification bath that we must take often - that of ridding negative, greedy, rigid and putrid thoughts and ill feelings from past experiences and situations from our minds, from our thoughts and from our feelings; which result in showing up in our behavior. Holding onto these kinds of thoughts and feelings promote the moral corruption and acts of disdainment toward one another that we see today and we say that they require healing.

As we keep forgiving--giving these thoughts and emotions up which is a daily eliminating process; our behvior and our outlook changes. Letting them go not just when we are challenged in any given moment but regularly. There is deep cleansing which has to be done on a regular basis and doing so helps us to allow our true essence come forth and thusly, the old is replaced with the true attributes of our divine nature.

Although it may not be easily done, it is not only possible but it is a God-given ability for us to let them go. Letting go gets easier with practice and if we are really living life then we know that life does not fall short of learning lessons.

Thank God for forgiveness-our eliminating capacity; it is our "refresh button". This is the only way to learn of our true value. When we release then we will shine brightly, illuminating all that God is within us--our true value which is worth more than any material thing in existence or in visibility. The "Bling Bling" is really our inner essence, you know the Christ-self-the real and authentic self laced with God's attributes.

" 'Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
and strength and honor and glory and blessing!' " - Rev 5:12
