Principle #7: Embrace A Miracle Reality

This is the final post in the series "7 Principles for Consciously Creating Your Life". Previous posts covered Living in the Now, Entering the Divine Mind, Summoning Pure Desire, Interrupting Old Patterns, The Ecstasy of Asking and Relax & Let it Go.

"There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle," said Albert Einstein.

Pablo Picasso added his unique vote for the latter: "Everything is a miracle. It is a miracle that one does not dissolve in one's bath like a lump of sugar."

This week's post will be short (miraculous in itself you might say) and sweet, like a lump of sugar.

The process of conscious creation we've explored over the last seven weeks, at its core, has been about liberating ourselves from our limited view of reality.

When we move into the ripeness of this moment...

Releasing our old, conditioned patterns of thought...

Accessing the infinite intelligence of the higher mind...

Acting innocently from the pure, creative desire that stirs our soul...

And relaxing into the greater mystery without agenda or attachment...

What was mundane and limited becomes wondrous and unbounded.

You see, when we slow down and experience ourselves as a vast reservoir of intelligence and creative energy, we understand our own true nature. We recognize ourselves as infinite, eternal, as powerful co-creators of our reality. It's a transformative experience. The whole darn thing is an undeniable miracle.

Living a miracle reality means embracing this deeper awareness, bringing our full attention to every moment, compassionately shedding our restrictive conditioning, and living into our capacity to be limit-free.

A miracle reality is sourced from the pure delight of the soul. No thinking required. No agenda. No plan. The thought-free mind is a miracle mind.

Jesus lived a miracle reality. He recognized himself, with unwavering faith, as son and servant of God. Through the power of his faith, he performed miracle after miracle. And he invited us to step into this same power and knowing, "If you have faith like the grain of a mustard seed, you (too) can move mountains. Nothing will be impossible for you."

When asked the definition of faith, Dattatreya Siva Baba responds simply, "Faith is utter positivity."

When we open into the awe and wonder of the mystery, we are simultaneously giving less energy to the negative, doubtful thoughts that keep us stuck in a non-miraculous reality. We are usually so full of worry and concern that there's no room left. But as we empty the cup, it can be filled with unpredictable blessings.

Miracles will come in unexpected ways. They will come as insight, spaciousness and delight. They will come as spontaneous healing. They will come as the effortless resolution of seemingly intractable problems. They will come as deeper personal connections, moments of meaning, acts of kindness both given and received. They will come as new opportunities to live in alignment with our most authentic calling.

Miracles will come as quiet appreciation for things large and small, good and bad, pleasant and unpleasant, exhilarating and challenging, simply for the wisdom they bring into our lives.

"If we could see the miracle of a single flower clearly, our whole life would change," said the Buddha.

May you experience miracles.

The most amazing miracle for me is this breath. Everything else is gravy.

Short, direct and spot on Stacey.

Rajneesh once said that when peeling an orange is like conducting an symphony, you know you got it.

Yay!

Done & DONE Stacy!
I think too many people try to purposely NOT feel thier thoughts and feelings. they put thier emotions and feelings in ther ego-and either try to use it for sympathjy(or play the victim/drama queen) or to manipulate to get something they want (both men & women do this to each other).
But this is ego. If you're doing these things to get what YOU want-or to use an intellectual debate to need to be proved superior of right--that's ego.
In relationships with others-is it better to be right--or to have peace?
Too many people try to bring their negativity to others to feed their own egos (victimization playing on others' emotions)-when the best thing a person can do--is just to let people who do try to suck the oxygen out of the room for themselves-is just to let em go. Let em blow off thier steam-but don't say
anything--your silence will send the message--and they will no longer be empowered. thier reality (or in actuality, imagination-will not be validated by you or anyone elses').
When you do have a thought or fear. (reading E. Tolles A NEW EARTH-fantastic for anyone who wants to speed up the process of thier own "unconsciousness")----you need to put a bubble around it. don't think I' m unhappy" or "I'm miserable" think " I HAVE unhappiness" or "I HAVE misery in my life right now". By putting the bubble around it-you can step back and take a look at the reasons why. You put some distance between the emotions themselves and reason-so you are able to make a better decision and not react instantly to the emotion (I was offended, I was angry).
By doing this-you don't allow your ego to be fed by your own emotions.
Too many victims do this-as rationalization of thier actions. they may have experienced similiar emotions as a group, (Jews, African-Americans,women, other minorities...) they validate and feed their own egos-making decsions/making comments based on their collective emotional fear--over simply encapsulating that emotion and standing back and taking an individual look at it. Others (the msm and politicians know this) and are able to exploit this-by appealing to negative/ victim emotions which feed the ego. This prevents people from making good decisions-since it a primitive reaction to emotion over thought. Negative thoughts stay with people longer than good/positive ones..
Perhaps now in this day and age-after 8 years of Bushs' playing on peoples' emotions. People will now be ready to purge themselves of these unconscious thoughts which allow them to be manipulated through thier egos-and be rid of them for good, or at least learn to recognize the role their own ego plays in this manipulative game.
Recognizing this is the only way to becoming a thinking, feeling, conscious being--who's happiness and life will be in their own hands.
The ONLY way.
