Manifesting

Life has a way of grabbing our attention in the way that is most meaningful to us. We drive ourselves hard and fast much of our lives; never stopping to smell the proverbial flowers. Today it has come to my mental awareness to stop and be thankful for those things which seem small in my life for it is upon appreciating those things that we can take another step forward which causes our gratitude to grow and expand.

Sometimes losing people, and such things as jobs, material items and "seeming" former pleasures, give the illusion of despair which leads us to think in a stream of fearfulness. Let it go from your awareness as quickly as possible so that you can embrace the way to bigger and better things; things with truer depth and meaning. Sitting in melancholy, licking our wounds only deepens the mental groove of pain and despair. Letting go leads us to develop an open mind which helps us manifest a mental pattern of finding the glory in the situation and if we but hold on, we will make it to the other side - the brighter side of the situation. While holding on we might consider holding in mind the truth that "God is with us and God is in this situation". When we hold to God in the situation then we trust that "this too will pass with God's grace and mercy at the helm.

It's a new day. Rejoice and be glad. New doors are being opened; new ways are being made visible to us and new possibilities are dawning as the former is being released into the melancholy fire. Be still and stand in the state of divine mentality which says God: our Creative Source is with us always...closer than hands or feet but within each of us and Always PROVIDING the best for us.

Happy Manifesting Brothers and Sisters,

In the Living Spirit,

Rev. Ethel

The Universe Is Calling

In my meditation this morning I heard: "All I can say is that I pray you catch this vision. My wish is that you be clean and clear to see and hear how to ex-press your divine destiny which includes your purposeful intent in this activity of life. May your dreams be realized not only for you but for the universe. "

Your and my (our) purpose are a part of the Divine Plan which encompasses the vastness of the greater good of the universe. We may not understand who our expression will touch nor how it touches; but that is truly the beauty of it all; because we have been given the spiritual, and mental tools and original raw materials to express, we are simply to do so, and that's that.

With Bless-ful intention,

Ethel in the LivingSpirit

A New Song

God's unfailing love causes us to sing a new song...one of happiness and personal responsibility. The joy of the Lord (the Law of being) instills a love and enjoyment of life in me and in anyone who captures the vision and allows the reality of God to express through them. I desire the goodness and richness of God for all people and I pray for those who do not know joy, to right now be struck by a bolt of shear, unadulterated Love which can only be issued through the Spirit of our merciful God of Truth, Life, Love, Wisdom, Power, Beauty, Peace, Joy and the like.

There is a certain joy in practicing responsibility for our self. It is real freedom and It means we have to do what it takes to make our life work, blaming nobody else for anything but moving onward and Spiritward. If in our doing, we recognize that a power greater than ourselves walks with us and empowers us each moment to do whatever it is that we have been given the "choice" to do; then we know it is imeperative and wise to recognize this energizing Force as much as we can and every chance we can. Walk with God and know God walks with us.

Be anxious for nothing. God is always at work; inspiring and delighting in all that will allow the Living Spirit to show forth through their character. Doing so reflects glorification in truth, peace, beauty, joy, and wonderment. Keep releasing that which does not glorify the truth of God which is also the truth of each woman, man and child. Be still and know God in you. Sure we all have such to release but Christ in us is our hope of glory and we are made to achieve victory. Let's Honor God's gifts inside of us.

To all eyes reading this post, I not only wish you joy; I pray it in the Living Spirit and trust in the Power that can make it so.
Amen.
Love and Genuineness,
Rev. E.

Become Inspired! Eliminate Frustration

Here is a message sent to me via email which I found very helpful. I hope you find it helpful too.

Every time you feel frustration, you have an opportunity. You have the opportunity to create positive value out of a negative situation.Frustration is an unmistakable signal that things could be better. And though you may be completely unable to change the outside circumstances, at the very least you can change yourself for the better. Instead of becoming mired in your frustration, let yourself become inspired by it. Know that your frustration is pointing you to some positive, valuable action you can take. That action may end up bringing great value to thousands or even millions of people. Or it may simply be a positive change in your own perspective, which is also of much value. Frustration is indeed unpleasant, and that's how it gets your attention. Yet once frustration has your attention, you can quickly move away from it. As soon as you feel frustration, look to find the positive value that is surely there. And a whole new world of possibilities will open up to you. So go ahead, use it to your advantage

Spice Up Your Life!

I am thankful for the power that God is in us: causing us to think, feel say and do -indeed to be. I am thankful for the gift of choice which empowers us to choose things which we desire more of and things that add value and meaning to our lives.

Choose you this day...where will you dwell in your mental world? Which path are you walking? Which words are you speaking? What thoughts are you choosing to direct your actions? Have you made a choice as to what you want to experience in this adventurous journey called life on earth? Are you choosing or are you allowing others to choose for you? These are just a few questions to spice up your life.

But with all diligence keep your mental gaze on things that are true, noble, just, pure, lovely and things that are of "good report" instructs Philippians 4:8; for when we do this the God of peace is with us

Peace be with you.

Go For It!

Emerging from the Baby Boomer era and from an acculturation which among many mental and behavioral patterns, included my having learned to delay my good. I learned to keep or use certain things for "special times" or to wait to use my goods and/or nice, newly purchased items for "special times or special events". I began to find myself asking "when am I going to live my life ...? what am I waiting for? Isn't everyday special? Times have changed and continue to evolve very quickly. If we are going to apply ideas and live out our dreams, there can be no waiting. We must tend to the business at hand...the business of living our dreams and aspirations.

There is no such thing as "playing catch-up"; it is simply start where you are and go for it. If you value love, then love with all you know and with the real love you feel allowing the Master within –your ChristSelf to guide your thoughts and emotions. If you’re going to add more play in your life then add play into your life daily, weekly, monthly as you are spiritually guided. In all things be divinely guided from within (from the indwelling Spirit) and trust that God is working all things for good.

Let us continually break and release (forgive) the old patterns that bind us to things which no longer serve our higher good; for if they no longer serve our higher good individually--they definitely do not serve the greater good of all humanity and the Spiritual fabric of this universe.

Will.i.am sings: It's a New Day! May we be responsive to and within this new day.

Go for it!

Amen! Amen!

Ever Wonderful!

Take time now to breathe in the love of God and reacquaint yourself with the good in your life right this moment. Know that you are blessed [favored with well-being, good fortune and abundant pleasure]. Know that you are made in the image of the Creator and Inexhaustible Supplier. Selah!

Because we are blessed we respect ourselves as well as others and do not have to take on the negative emotions of jealousy and resentment etc.; instead we can now choose to be a blessing to others - be it one or several others. Our choices determine our self-confidence and our uniqueness or lack thereof.

In this awareness, we bless as we are intuitively and lovingly led to do so. Those who really know they are blessed are mentally strong enough and spiritually mature enough to encourage, compliment, and even cooperate with others as opposed to being a hindrance. They do not have to be the center of attention nor do they have to put others down or degrade anyone else in order to make themselves appear bigger or better. They also do not have to fight over supply because they know that there is always enough for all, that they simply must turn within for their own proper way to be given to them from the Higher Authority. We are blessed inwardly first which exudes outwardly and spills over into our life, relations and affairs.

We all, each and everyone, are special and unique!

Take the time now to meditate on these things if it resonates with your soul.

Be Blessed and Breezy in the Blissfulness that God is!

Fait accompli

A fait accompli is a thing accomplished and is presumably irreversible. My sister and I recently completed a marathon in Seattle. I completed the half marathon (13.1 miles) and my sister completed the full marathon (26.2 miles).
This was such a victory for me because there were about 10 hills (major inclines) throughout the course. I had always had a mental block concerning hills. But each hill gave me a greater sense of acceptance, value and understanding. My faith was strengthened and deepened with each step I took. I grew closer and closer in Spirit and in motion to the ever living and ever loving invisible OmniPresence of Good that exists and causes us to be.
We are made in the image and after the likeness of extraordinary Power, Intelligence and Love. And our acknowledging and appreciating this truth is expressed by being the living testimony through our actions, behavior, deeds, thoughts and words.
It is true our personalities must be Spiritualized; and mine unequivocably proclaims "I am a God loving person". Let us all Know it, follow it and live it with all of our being.

Apex We Are!

We are not here to live second best. We are the apex in the uniformity of creation the ones made in the image and after the likeness of the "All" "Mighty" and "Infinte" "Source" of "Good and Very Good". Why on earth would we accept or give anything less than the best? I'll tell you why...it is because we are dying trying to separate ourselves from our divine Source; trying to be something and someone we are not. We are the expressions of the One universal God --the Creative Energy Intelligence which is our, Good, Love, Truth, Joy, Beauty, Wisdom, Peace and indeed our all and all.

Be Breezy in Bliss!

Ethel

This is your day; Master It!

Command every moment of this day by filling it with thoughts which lead, direct and drive you to the good that has been prepared for you from the beginning of time. Each thought you think and each emotion you feel are recorded subconsciously to direct you either into your bliss or away from your bliss. Choose this day whom you will serve: your Christ-mind or your worldly illusion-filled ego. Your Christ-mind or Higher-self is that in you which is one with God - the Divine and Creative Source. Master your day by letting your "Son-light" shine. Choose to let your inner light of love, wisdom, beauty, peace and joy shine by taking it one step, one act of kindness and one day at a time.

Although 1 John 1:5, (NLT) tells us, "This is the message we heard from Jesus and now declare to you: God is light, and there is no darkness in him at all" this message is not for those who are inspired from the Christian belief alone; it is a universal message.

Whatever you believe that eternal good within you to be...behold it and let it shine through. When we allow it to shine through then we express it in unique and wonderful ways when we speak to and of others, in our thoughts of others, and in our interactions with others. We cannot help but receive the benefits of the love that is being channeled through us individually because we are the conduit for it to occur; however, we must behold or embrace and embody it for it to be true for us with consistency. Master your day.

Be Blessed in Bliss by the Power of the Best!

Smooches!

Who or what's driving you?

Who or what's driving you? Is it the fresh goals of the day or the stale leftovers from days gone bye which constitute the clutter in our lives? Is it the Living Spirit within you - which is unfolding your true mission or is it the rants and ravings and personalities of others who have no idea and could care less as to what your spiritual vision is or is it your Authentic Self which requires us to be still and listen before expressing?

Take a moment now to get quiet by taking a deep breath and focusing on your breath. Then silently tell each muscle in your body to be still. Just listen to the stillness and gain peace in the moment.

As you begin to cut away the external chatter of others and release the internal chatter that we have allowed to lodge within our minds; the Inner Knowing voice will become recognizable. This is our Spiritual connection to our Creative Source which gives our life meaning and has called us to purpose.

Take the time to get to know the Living Spirit within. It is waiting to guide us to our very best life.

Live deeply! Live boldly!

This is your life! Live it deeply and live it boldly. You have been called to live it with genuine and specific purposes. Nobody else can live the purpose in which you are here to express. Sure someone else can perform the jobs you have done but nobody else can express the qualities and characteristics that are intrinsically yours; otherwise we would all be exactly alike - clones.

Give thanks now to the Universal Creative Source - God, the Good Omnipotent - for your innate divinity and the ability, fortitude and inspiration to ex-press all that you are made to be.

Good emerges from within us.

The Spirit of God or as I experience It - the "Living Spirit " is constantly guiding us and directing our lives. It supplies us with the content for our daily lives. When we but get still and listen we will hear the inner voice that speaks into our mentality and nudges us with images that will provide the instructions to fulfill our day; if we choose to perceive it as such. Listen and begin to see, and feel the goodness that is waiting to emerge from within you. It is God's good pleasure to give us the kingdom. Accept it now.

Live Well! Live Wonderful!

Today is a vibrant day. It is a vivid, after-the-rain kind of day. The sun shining brightly awakens the early morning. My meditation in the stillness of the abundant and plush ideas creates a new dawning and more release for me. A mighty new wind is blowing. For those more concrete in their thinking let me pose this conceptually; the mighty new wind is a new way of thinking and living. It is the way of "just being present" and feeling utterly comfortable in the skin I am in, in this moment. It is a great day to be alive; using wisdom and love to guide each experience.

Several times throughout the day, Stop! Breathe deeply and set your focus on a sight of beauty while Listening to the stillness of the moment, then go about your day celebrating, living well and living wonderfully.

Now let's give thanks for this perceived moment for it is that which keeps us seeking and dwelling in more of the same.

Take Care of Yourself

Today is the day that was made for us. What we do in this day...you know, what we fill the day with is up to us. Adventure is great! Imagination is wonderful! Rest is a blessing! Only you know what you need and only you know what interests, energizes and nurtures you. Take the time to indulge in those things. Stay away from people, foods, substances, places and situations which drain your energy leaving you feeling uncared for.

Relax and rest when you know you need it. Exercise regularly. Feed your mind and your body more and more with nurturing thoughts and natural energy sustaining foods ad beverages.

Don't expect anyone else to do it for you because nobody else can. We are the only ones who know what we need at any given moment. By taking the responsibility for our own lives and our own dispositions, we take an active stance in healing and beautifying the world. We begin to live from a deeper perspective and we have more authenticity to share.

Here's to a magnificent day! Take good care of yourself so that your true caring nature extends into all that you do.

Blessed always in all ways.

What a great day in the essence of life.

The essence of life is within us each and every moment. When we can look up, way beyond the circumstances within the situations we have created for ourselves; we can realize the unearthly and super-powerful substance that not only awakens us but energizes and magnetizes us to that which we place our attention and efforts. Focus on the positively good purpose for your life so that the characteristics that you begin to attract are those which you continue to nurture and express with joy and with the ease and speed of The Living Spirit.

It's a good day! Let's rejoice now!
