Infinite Possibilities

Ever read “Dorian Grey?” The main characters show three aspects of Oscar Wilde:

"Basil Hallward is what I think I am."

     ...conventionally minded (Basil is the painter of the portrait of Dorian, who becomes his muse in art and life).

"Lord Henry is what the world thinks of me."

     ...a charming famous wit and brilliant intellect, possessed of “wrong, fascinating, poisonous, delightful theories.”  

"Dorian what I would like to be."

     ...the archetype of male youth/beauty, though exceptionally vain and narcissistic, convinced that his youth/physical attractiveness is his most salient characteristic, which leads to his death as the painting absorbs and reveals his narcissistic and unethical ways.

Our lives, similar to Dorian's picture in the attic, are a reflection of our self-image. This begs the questions:

How does self-image impact my life?

How is self-image formed?

How do I change my self-image?

Self-image lives in the subconscious mind. Your attitudes, perspective, perception, opinions all sit in your subconscious mind and all your reactions to events are triggers from memory and emotion. These triggers and reactions are dependent on how we see ourselves and our place in the Universe and the opportunities we feel we can grab onto.

Our self-image sitting in our subconscious is like the auto-pilot on a plane. The minute we go off-course in any area of our lives that doesn't match the self-image we have set up, then our course is corrected by the perspectives and attitudes embedded in our subconscious.

Say you want to lose weight – so you go on a diet. But how do you see yourself – your self-image? Has this weight become the new norm? Do you see yourself as this norm? Without accepting yourself as the new weight in your self-image, the weight will return, the eating habits will return — the auto-pilot in your subconscious will insist. It's not just a habit of eating practices, you've got to change your thinking about it.

You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete. ~Buckminster Fuller

Is a million dollars a large amount of money to you? Ten million? How about $50? It's all just a bunch of paper we trade for goods or services. However, it's also energy. When we are wowed by the bigger numbers or pooh-pooh the lower amounts, we are giving money a fear and lack energy. 

Change your thoughts, change the energy about money.

Say with me:

I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing amounts through continuous multiple sources.

I am so happy and appreciative that health and wellness show up in my life as vitality and vibrancy at every moment.

I am so happy and thankful that love, kindness, compassion, affection, and respect surround me all of my days from morning to night and back to morning again.

I am so happy and in deep gratitude for the peace and grace that constantly envelopes my every experience.

You could go on and on with this in every single part of your life. With consistency, within thirty – ninety days, you will start buying into those ideas. And they will start to live in your subconscious and inform your every reaction, action, and perspective.

You see, your subconscious is like a plant you continue to feed and nourish every moment. Like your body, what are you feeding it? Does that feeding nourish and flourish the system? or starve, struggle or stress it?

We live in a universe of infinite frequencies. In fact, had they had the technology to build a smartphone in the '30s, they could have used those same frequencies as we do today. The frequencies were already there, we just didn't know how to utilize them. The same is true for your frequency of success, wealth, health, etc. - it's all there and there's an infinite way to use them. We just have to learn to connect to those opulent frequencies. When we connect and awaken our awareness like science and technology did for the phone, we can use those infinite frequencies/possibilities to strengthen our knowledge and beliefs.

Our consciousness dictates the frequency we ride in life. If it's a low frequency of fear, dis-ease, anger, frustration, victimhood, and shame — all things seem to be done at or to me.

If it's a high frequency of passion, ease, love, peace, empowerment, success, and joy — things are done as and through me... and on purpose.

What are you consenting to in your life? The few things you have? or the unlimited things available to you? We get to choose.

God is infinite, God is eternal

And you are the God of your thoughts

the God of your feelings
the God of your imagination
the God of your subconscious

The subconscious always says “Yes.” It doesn't decide – your conscious mind decides...it accepts. It doesn't think...your conscious mind thinks and the subconscious acts.

Now any change can take some time. That paradigm in your subconscious, oh, it will put up a fight. But our job isn't to fight it - it's to change it by taking conscious control over it and focusing it in a new direction.

There is a difference between WISHING for a thing and being READY to receive it. No one is ready for a thing, until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be BELIEF, not mere hope or wish. Open-mindedness is essential for belief. Close minds will not inspire faith, courage, and belief.  ~Napoleon Hill, Think and Grow Rich

 Are you open-minded to the possibility of infinite possibilities? Better question - do you have faith in limited possibilities or infinite possibilities? If you don't have faith in infinite possibilities, you have faith in limited possibilities. And if you have faith in limited possibilities, when do you think you'll run through them? 

If you said your faith lies in the limited...you are wrong. Well, you are right in that your decision makes it so in your life, however, you are wrong in that the idea of limited possibilities is not a Universal Truth. 

You cannot limit the ever-expanding Universe, you cannot limit the energy exuded in that expansion, and you cannot limit the frequencies of light and matter created by the energy of the expanding Universe...which we will never catch up with.

The proper distance … between Earth and the edge of the observable universe is 46 billion light-years. … but this does not represent the distance at any given time because the edge of the observable universe and the Earth have since moved further apart.   ~Extra Dimensions in Space and Time by Itzhak Bars (Professor of Physics at the University of Southern CA, L. A.) and John Terning (Professor of Physics at University of CA, Davis)

American astronomer Edwin Hubble discovered in the 1920s that the Universe is expanding by showing that most galaxies are receding from the Milky Way. The Hubble Constant tells us that for each additional megaparsec (around 3.26 million light-years) of distance, galaxies recede 500 kilometres per second faster — so the Hubble constant was 500 in units of kilometres per second per megaparsec. 

Yeah, I don't get the numbers much either, they are mind-boggling, but that is the science of the expanding Universe. With expanded possibilities, there are mind-boggling possibilities. Fuel your mind and imagination with that.

How does self-image impact my life?

It is the frequency by which my subconscious talks to me and the Law

How is self-image formed?

By our awareness to the Truth and by the use of these principles in our conscious mind. Yes, upbringing and environment play their part, but more by our continuous self-talk and connection to Spirit.

How do I change my self-image?

• Accepting I have the power
• Awakening to the Truth
• Putting that Truth into action with words, prayer, action, centering, grounding, deciding, knowing, awakening, connecting, using the affirmative incantations - in general, by working your Mind over and over again

Say with me again:

I am so happy and grateful now that money comes to me in increasing amounts through continuous multiple sources.

I am so happy and appreciative that health and wellness show up in my life as vitality and vibrancy at every moment.

I am so happy and thankful that love, kindness, compassion, affection, and respect surround me all of my days from morning to night and back to morning again.

I am so happy and in deep gratitude for the peace and grace that constantly envelopes my every moment.

You go to the mirror and tell yourself that...no one else will. I can tell you till I'm blue in the face, and yes, I am here to remind you – and that's okay. But you gotta tell you! You have to tap into that frequency of infinite possibilities and place it into your life...and I do too.

Join me in tapping into the infinite possibilities of the Universe!

And make this second half of 2021 our most fabulous!

Affirmative Incantation

Today I use my Word to open up to new possibilities.

These new possibilities inform me of the best next steps to take.

And those best next steps I take activate the Universe to deliver more opportunities to achieve multiple streams of opulence in my life.

With all these opportunities showing up from the Universe, I make myself available to use my expertise as an irreplaceable asset to all those who need what I do.

I am so happy and grateful that the river of prosperity is flowing to me right now. I am drenched in an abundance of love, wealth, and vitality. The possibilities are infinite and I grab them all.

TURN IT ON

Jono at Unsplash.com

It is said:  "Necessity...is the mother of invention.” Do you think that's true? Is it "necessity"?

No matter your gender, your organs, or your relation to children...you are a mother. You may not be called that, or maybe you have; I'm sure I have once or twice. And you have an invention...it's your life.

"Necessity is the mother of invention." I'm not talking about urgency, although you may feel urgent. I'm not talking about difficulty, although you may be in difficulty. I'm not talking about hardships either, though you may have some. The mother of invention I'm talking about is your primary driving force for your life. Not just a need or requirement...your purpose. Aesop wrote a fable called THE CROW AND THE PITCHER. In it, he tells...

In a spell of dry weather, when the Birds could find very little to drink, a thirsty Crow found a pitcher with a little water in it. But the pitcher was high and had a narrow neck, and no matter how he tried, the Crow could not reach the water. The poor thing felt he might die of thirst.

Then an idea came to him. Picking up some small pebbles, he dropped them into the pitcher one by one. With each pebble, the water rose a little higher until at last, it was near enough so he could drink.

Moral:  In a pinch, good use of our wits may help us out.

Do we have to wait to be in a pinch or in urgency, difficulty, or hardship to turn on our wits? Know that it never takes adversary, difficulty, or hardship for you to turn It on. Know that it never has to come to you only after feeling stuck, useless, or "hitting bottom," to turn It on.

The power to create ...to mother a life of living your magnificence... is available right now. The power and process given to you from Spirit are available right now. That power and process are...

feeling and imagination. 

That's what it takes to create the mental equivalent, to mother the idea and give it birth. The creative process embedded in each of us is the mother of invention.

The mechanism of creation is hidden in the very depth of the subconscious, the female aspect or womb of creation.   ~Neville Goddard

When you are able to imagine the event and feel the feelings of experiencing the event, then the event shows up or the actions you must take to facilitate the event are revealed to you.

Feeling is the one and only medium through which ideas are conveyed to the subconscious.  ~Neville Goddard

You want money to buy a plane ticket somewhere? Well, then why not just imagine and feel the result of that plane ticket, with your name on it, in your hand. Who needs the middleman called money. You're not imagining stealing the ticket or getting it nefariously somehow, so let the Universe figure out the means. You just know the end of the imagined story, the plane ticket to your next wonderful adventure in your pocket.

Your feelings create the pattern from which your world is fashioned, and a change of feeling is a change of pattern.  ~Neville Goddard

As you stick with this imagination and feeling practice for your desire, you mother the belief in your subconscious and thus send off clear instructions to the Law. Francis Scovel Shinn tells a related story in THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT:

I knew a man who wanted to buy a fur-lined overcoat. He and his wife went to various shops, but there was none he wanted. He said they were all too cheap-looking. At last, he was shown one, the salesman said was valued at a thousand dollars, but which the manager would sell him for five-hundred dollars, as it was late in the season.

His financial possessions amounted to about seven hundred dollars. The reasoning mind would have said, “You can’t afford to spend nearly all you have on a coat,” but he was very intuitive and never reasoned.

He turned to his wife and said, “If I get this coat, I’ll make a ton of money!” So his wife consented, weakly.

About a month later, he received a ten-thousand-dollar commission. The coat made him feel so rich, it linked him with success and prosperity; without the coat, he would not have received the commission. It was an investment paying large dividends!

I'm not telling you to go out and spend beyond your financial abilities, nor am I condoning buying fur-lined clothing. It really wasn't about the coat itself. It was the feeling the coat gave him.

You have to Feel Rich to be Rich

...and I'm not just talking about money.

Assume the feeling that would be yours when you realized or revealed that which you desire. That impresses the subconscious and puts you and your mothering system in a state. Not just a state of mind, but a state of being, having, and living. Here are the two gateways into the subconscious:

1) SLEEP

One-third of our life is sleeping, it is a natural door into the subconscious. In the state of sleep, the conscious and subconscious meet - like lovers touching.

As you feel, so do you impress her; and she, the perfect lover, gives form to these impressions and out-pictures them as the children of her beloved.  ~Neville Goddard

Feeling a function produces that state. That's why I recommend you to state and feel the affirmative incantations twice a day. They are not merely affirmations, they are cleansings, 'rebootings,' motherings, ....'creatings.' They are an imagining of a story that builds, inspires, motivates, and impresses upon your subconscious and belief system.

Our volition or choice of reaction or response

Our decision on perspective and perception

Our turning on our connection to Spirit or not

are our truest of freedoms!

Not speech or assembly, but choice, decision, and flipping It on.

The second gateway is prayer. This is where you really turn IT on, connect to IT, and reveal IT on purpose. Prayer is not just the act of affirmative words to the Universe or using spiritual mind treatment or other modalities. Prayer is in the words you say in conversation, your self-talk or inner dialogue, the meditations you have, and the thoughts you bear and hold. When you assume and affirm the feeling,  declare the possession of that idea or thing, and reveal the Divine Power, Love, and Intelligence in you, through patience, persistence, allowing, listening, letting go and surrendering, and speaking your appreciative and grateful word…you are turning It on.

IT - that Divine in you

These are the processes going on in sleep and prayer:

• Imagination is the key
• Feeling is the secret weapon
• Declaring is the gavel hitting the table
• Connecting to the love and wisdom of the Universe is the power

You can do all the shadow work or other modalities to have unconditional self-acceptance, other-acceptance, and life-acceptance. You can

1. Identify Irrational Thought Patterns and Beliefs
2. Challenge Irrational Beliefs
3. Gain Insight and Change Behavior

But without the commitment to Turn IT on with your mind and heart, and listening from your gut...your foundation is rocky; as in unstable, without a foundation.

Turn IT on...your connection to the Divine Mother in you.

Turn IT on...and watch your life change exponentially for good!

Affirmative Incantation

I am flipping the switch to position...ON!

On, to embodying confidence.

On, to embodying vitality.

On, to embodying opulence.

I am anchored to the Source and Substance of my supply with the on-switch active. My brain and heart are energized and focused. And any actions required are being taken with grace,ease, and wisdom.

I own my future. So, here I go to create excellence and live my life with abundance turned on.

AFFIRM

by KimVanHornDesigns on Etsy

When I affirm that I am alone, my crap shows up.

When I affirm no one is on my side, yesterday's junk shows up.

When I affirm I've been forgotten or never known, I feel alone.

What I forget in those pity parties is that in Truth, all those ideas are a lie. The facts may bear those emotions, my edging God out ego may experience those false assertions, my B.S. may believe that b. s. for now, but that doesn't make it True 

...facts aren't Truth

The Christ is here. It is your very own consciousness when human thought is stilled… Where human effort ends, the activity of the Christ begins.  ~Joel S. Goldsmith, Spiritual Interpretation of Scripture

The “Christ” Goldsmith speaks of is that awareness in you of the higher self as part of a universal system, a state of consciousness in which a person has found self-realization and unity with the Divine. Like the Hindu concept of samadhi, it is a deep spiritual bliss, an enlightening, an awakening, a revealing of the Divine within.

Many of you know I am an actor as well as a Minister. People ask me what the most important thing is about the craft of acting – in auditions, rehearsals, or performance. And I always say "tell the story," your job is to tell the story. Actually, that isn't enough. My job as an actor, our job in this adventure called life, is to...

                                                ...connect.

Having an adventure in life is not just about the trips to the Grand Canyon, zip-lining, a safari, or climbing Everest, though those are adventurous. It's our spiritual connection to those things. The journey of a spiritual being having a human experience is a daily adventure of connection; communing with the Divine in all of Nature and vibrating at the speed of the Divine in all events.

The etymology of the word “adventure” as both a noun and verb includes terms like “event,” “risk,” and phrases like “take a chance,” “to come to,” “to reach for,” or  “arrive at.” Connection is defined as a “bind,” “a fastening together,” “a joining,” “an intimate relationship.” And communion is about a “mutual participation,'' “sharing,” “being with oneness,” or “a union together.”

I invite you to look at how you are allowing this spiritual life to show up, where are you taking holy risks to evolve or seeking out opportunities to have an intimate relation to and a union together with your Spiritual Magnificence. It's not just a journey or a risk, it is a consciousness and a perspective to come to or arrive at...an awakening.

God is our adventure. Our active participation in It, both spiritual and three-dimensional, unfolds through affirming the Divine Urge that is inherently and eternally calling us into our greater selves. There's no risk in this adventure, there’s only a Divine Intelligence - the One Creative and loving Source & Substance found in everything ...coming into form as you.

We are of that Intelligence.

We are of that Source.

                            So, what’s to fear?

Where’s the real risk in living a life, affirming this connection?  

Fear of failure?

Fear of success?

Fear of facing the yesterdays?

Truly the biggest risk (if there is one at all) is in not opening to our Infinite Possibilities...

...not affirming our Power

...not affirming our capabilities

Find God. That’s the adventure!

So many people turn away this philosophy or other similar teachings because of the "God" word. Okay, use the word Universe, the Power, the Divine, the Great Accountant, Phil...call it Mind.  It matters not what you call it...just take the call.

Since before the Vedic sages proclaimed, “I am the universe” or Ernest Holmes' Declaration of Principles or the Fillmore's Five Principles or the Buddha's Four Precepts, or the Tao, or any progressive philosophy/psychology of love and success; the universe, and thus each of us, has been creatively and intelligently evolving and expanding, even before the Big Bang or the Genesis. The most significant process for us now is our alignment, receptivity, awakening, and participation in the adventure of our Divine selves working in this physical universe and affirming our ever-evolving expression while engaging, intercoursing, experiencing, and transcending whatever conditions show up.

          Ask yourself:  How does Life wish to express through me?  

In the midst of plenty humanity lives in want, because of fear. To overcome fear is the greatest adventure of the mind of man.  ~Science of Mind

Investigate ways you hold yourself back from Life. Uncover your fears. Reorient yourself to your divine heritage. If you find yourself shrinking or withering from your path and purpose, spend time in silence and listen. Step into your adventure every day. Reconcile your spiritual checkbook with enthusiastic participation in the Divine Unfoldment as your magnificent self 

There is an inner urge in our minds to grow, to expand, to break down the barriers of previous limitations and to ever widen our experience. This persistent urge is a Divine influence, and irresistible force, and constitutes the greatest impulse in human experience.  ~Ernest Holmes, Living Without Fear

Let us say “yes” to this Divine opportunity and, by the way, every opportunity is a Divine opportunity. Affirm your connection with It:  

• the Power and Presence of All that is in you
• the luminous essence of Creation that is available to you
• the energy of the actual Big Bang that was the Genesis that made us all and that you are

Affirm you are individualizing God!
Affirm that you have the power and presence to bust through, soar, and zoom...no matter what!
Affirm, like Raymond Charles Barker said in The Power of Decision,
You are the present becoming the future!

We arrive at our Oneness through our Conscious Participation. In that oneness, in the connection and communion with Spirit, remember:  you are not alone

...no one is alone!

So let us begin to affirm that right now!

Affirmative Incantation 

With unshakable confidence, I participate fully and freely in the adventure of an opulent, succulent, and peaceful life. I affirm my dependable connection and communion with the great I Am that I am. 

And so I face this day with Divine Love, Divine Intelligence, and the Power and Presence, vitality and creativity of Spirit at my back, my forward, as my foundation, and on all sides of me. I am busting through, soaring, and zooming into today affirmed and empowered.
