A New Frontier

Waitete Bay, Coromandel, New Zealand

The new frontier is Love. Love is the same as God, which is What We Are. It is our very essence. Love will not intrude on our lives if we do not want it to. It will not penetrate our wall of compulsive thought. However, once it is invited in, it will envelope us like a tidal wave. Once we open the door a tiny bit with our intention, that is all the encouragement that Love needs to enter our lives and transform us.

I propose an experiment. If we transmit Love every time our eyes light on a person, our ears hear words from someone on the telephone, we receive an email or a text, or we think of someone, everything in our lives will be different. Our business and personal relationships will be better. The Universe will cooperate with us instead of fighting against us.

Every time we have a negative or judgmental thought, we will replace it with loving thoughts. We will connect with every person we encounter with genuine warmth. We will even broadcast loving intentions and thoughts to those that are angry with us or are trying to harm us.

Let's not forget to transform our thoughts about ourselves into Love, as well. We are deserving of that.

We will create a Love Energy Field. Fear will not be able to penetrate it as Love is stronger than Fear.

Let's surrender to Love.

Bee Boxes, Te Kouma, New Zealand

We try to figure out the solutions to our problems by thinking them through. Sometimes we do not have enough information to formulate a solution. We do not have a clear view of the bigger picture. Also, we are trapped by our conditioning to only have a narrow set of beliefs within which to figure things out.

There is a better way. There is an Infinite Energy Source, which we are a part of. Some call it God. I usually prefer not to because that word is so loaded with religious dogma. We are cut off from the Source because we are trapped in a world of compulsive thinking that is a result of our programming from birth. We cannot see outside of our tiny world view.

Instead of trying to figure out a solution to our problems through thought, we can surrender to the Infinite Energy Source. It will guide us to the best solution for everyone concerned. We need to have faith that the Source exists and that we are a part of it. It is hard to have faith when we have been so disillusioned by life and the reality that we experience. The only reason that we are disappointed by life is because we do not see the full picture. For example, we are afraid of death, but how do we know that death is not a beautiful thing? We cannot know within our limited experience. If we have faith and surrender to the Infinite Source, we will be supported. We will be loved. We will begin to see the beauty of life. Our faith will then be reinforced. We just need to take a leap.

Let's surrender to God.

Acceptance

Bozeman, Montana

We wish that things were different than they are. We are not happy with things that are occurring in our lives, so we deny that they are what they are. Before we can make changes in our lives, we need to accept our life and our world just as it is. Our resistance to what is reinforces the situation that we refuse to accept. When we resist accepting it, we push it into our subconscious, where we continually give it energy, even though we are not aware that we are doing so. Once we accept things just as they are, we can begin making changes.

Let's accept what is without judgment or labels, and choose to create the world just as want it to be.

A World Of Thought

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

We live in a world of thought. Our entire lives exist within this world of conditioned thoughts and programmed beliefs. It is a limited world of fear, ego, regret, frustration and dread of the future. Every once in a while a sliver from the Ocean of Who We Really Are enters our world in the form of an intuition, premonition or feeling of love or oneness. We either forget about it ten minutes later or fail to acknowledge it at all. It is time to acknowledge and accept who we really are.

We are connected to and nourished by an Ocean of unlimited love, peace, joy and wisdom. It is our very nature, our very selves. All we have to do is remember it. By surrendering our thoughts, judgments and beliefs to the Great Unknown, we are one with the limitless Ocean of Being.

Let's remember who we really are.

Being

Tongariro, New Zealand

When we bring our attention to the present, we experience the isness of life. We accept the world just as it is. We surrender all of our stale thoughts, beliefs and judgments. Once we accept life as it is, we can make conscious choices that we have previously made unconsciously. The best course of action for us becomes readily apparent. The world seems more alive. We do not feel the need for our senses to be stimulated all the time. Our bad habits fade away. Our relationships are different. We lose the desire to judge and criticize others (and ourselves) so harshly. We see the beauty in simple things. We are content just being. We do not have to constantly be doing something.

Let's explore the isness of life by being.

Yellowstone

If we were electricity instead of who we are, we would not be able to describe ourselves. We could say that we are very powerful and we provide the energy to make machines work, but it would be impossible to describe our essence accurately.

We are electricity and it is impossible to describe or think about who we really are.

Just as electricity animates machines, The Infinite Energy Source animates our physical instruments. The Source passes through the filter of our belief systems and comes out as happiness, unhappiness, frustration, rage, insecurity, joy, passion, fear, elation and all of the other manifestations of the human experience. The energy that we receive is filtered through our programming. We can receive unfiltered energy and wisdom from the Infinite Energy Source, which is our very essence, and experience joy, peace, love and freedom. We can receive the unfiltered energy and information and become one with the Source by surrendering all of our thoughts, judgments, ideas and beliefs about who we are and what we think the world is. We become pure awareness and experience the world as if we were born anew.

Let's surrender to the Infinite.

Freedom

Jackson Hole, Wyoming

Freedom is the ability to make choices. We make choices hundreds of times a day whether we know it or not. Everything we experience is filtered through our belief systems. The vast majority of our choices are ones consistent with those systems. Our belief systems have been programmed into us since birth. Once we bring awareness to our thoughts and beliefs, we can begin to consciously choose which thoughts and beliefs help us create the life we intend to live. We can surrender and release those thoughts and beliefs which no longer serve us. The more we consciously choose our thoughts, beliefs and actions, the more life will unfold before us and we will discover our life's purpose.

Let's choose freedom.
