I would like to explore the struggle, at least for me,

between “belief” and “fear” and feature some 

Affirmative Thoughts and MeditationNotes that

I want to share on these topics. I hope you

find them helpful. 

 

First, an Affirmative Thought For Today.

 

              INTERNAL STRUGGLE

             Let us fully understand and be aware,

                  that there is no struggle in our world

                   that is not an internal struggle –

                   entirely centered in our minds and

                   created by our thoughts.

           

            Let us fully comprehend that within,

                we have the power to reinterpret,

                reenvision and reframe any conflict,

                struggle, or negative event, simply,

                by rethinking and realigning our thoughts.

 

            All we see outside is created from within.

 

            Today, see only solutions, positive action

               and steady progress!

 

Next, I would like to conclude with a Meditation

Note that helps me conceptualize my internal

struggle between “belief,” on the one hand, and

“fear” on the other.  

 

POWER OF BELIEF                                           

Believe, and it will be true – it will be created – manifested

into complete form – full life. Simply believe. Belief is a full

alignment and focus of your vibrational energy –  

your creative soul energy - and it takes a tremendous

act of  clarity and focus.

 

Belief requires that competing forces in your mind and

Soul do not question but fully supports the effort – totally –

completely. Otherwise, “doubt” splits the focus like

a wedge and impedes the movement to total belief.

 

What is “doubt” but the competing ego forces of fear

and insecurity? The ego shouts – “how could this be true –

how could you move the mountain? Are you crazy? - do

you need help?” It is your job and in your self-interest

to indoctrinate the ego - soothe and retrain the voice

in your head to seek the safety of total belief – total

clarity in pursuing the prize of enlightenment.

 

Utilize the ego, teaming with the ego in the pursuit

of complete and total belief. Believe in yourself and your

capacity for cocreation - your ability to harness

the power and create heaven on earth.

 

Believe and it will be so!

A SIMPLE ORDER - NOTE ON ENLIGHTENMENT INSPIRED BY THE FINDING GOD ON THE TRAIN STORY - QUEST FOR A POSITIVE, PERSONAL, AND CONTEMPLATIVE SPIRITUALITY

Beneath the passion play of human existence,

exists nature, the natural, God’s world,

the simple order.  It is often easy to confuse

our constant state of human eruption with

what came first. When we settle down, rest,

meditate, dream, space out, pray -  we can

reconnect with and join this order once more,

realizing we, too, are part of this simple order.

 

A SIMPLE ORDER 

Tangible life erupts in mysterious ways,

like a fire at the end of a long evening,

a flash here, a spark there, a burst

of blue light ignites only to be snuffed

out by a gentle wind, lost in the embers

of its magnificence.

 

We live in discrete but connected

particles of consciousness, moments

always quietly present, simple, silent

reflections of our inner state of peace.

 

Reflect on the moment that surrounds you –

a slender song of opulent life calmly being –

no rush – no impatience,  just a simple order.

 

No need for doing – just enjoyable reflection –

life turning at its own pace – enjoin

its presence –  its nowness – listen

to its breath, listen to it sing,  it calls you

to its place – its God-given existence –

no harm – no foul – just the simple glow

and the hum of life eternal - being.

Spiritual quests are often about expanding

our insight, our vision, our comprehension

of what is actually occurring to us in

spiritual consciousness. It is often easy to

sit back and settle for what appears to us now

to be a revelation. Let us be sure we have made

the connection with God we were intended

to accomplish, knowing we are fully capable

of this intricate balance.  

 

FULL VISION  

Let us not move away from

            but towards a full vision

of complete spiritual renewal,

            with a sure-footed step,

aware and alive in the truth –

            connected life with God

is plausible, doable, and obtainable.

 

Let us clear away any doubt,

            fear, or confusing sentiment,

prepared and ready to grasp

            the notion of a connected

universe, where all within

            exist within the same ocean

of being, intention, and active life.

 

And as we do, understand

            our place, realizing each breath

is a lifeline, underscoring

            our very interdependence,

as we survive and thrive in

            our ocean of positive expansion,

aware caretakers of this

            intricate balance.
