Last night (5/22/2019) I was flipping through the channels to find something of interest and I stumbled across the movie Wonder. I had wanted to see this movie for a while and as I watched it I laughed and I cried and when the movie ended I started to think how many times do we miss opportunities because we don’t look beyond the outer appearance. As I woke up today (5/23/2019) the idea of gazing in wonder kept coming up and I kept thinking wow what a great message to deliver and then I remembered the words of Dr. Wayne Dyer who once said when we change the way we look at things our life changes. This is so true because we have many ways we can look at how our life is unfolding and we can choose to come from a position of lack or a position of abundance. We can be grateful for what we have or we can want for what we don’t have. It all comes down to a matter of perspective. Many times we get so caught up in looking at the negative that we forget all of the positive. Many times we get so caught up in what seems like despair that we fail to repair what may be creating the blockage that is stopping us from gazing in wonder. Many times we get so caught up in worrying that we get stuck. When you find yourself feeling stuck simply remind yourself that if GOD brought you to it GOD will bring you through it. I have found that when I am feeling stuck that is is best to take a walk in nature and gaze in wonder at what GOD has created and then counsel with GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels and follow the messages that they are sending. It is when we gaze in wonder and awaken that we are able to heed our calling and make the changes that will allow us to come alive thus attracting peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our personal, professional, and spiritual life.
Spiritual Awakening: Spark It Up and Pass It Along!!!
As you become an action taker while experiencing a spiritual awakening it is important to spark up you imagination and then to create what you imagined. As you create ways to be of service and value it is important to pass it along. Today (7/18/2018) I had the opportunity to work with Joel Gresham of The Imagination Bears. He taught me the process of creating one of the imagination bears which you can learn more about at www.imaginationbears.com. It really helped me go from a sad place where I was stressed to a better place. As we talked I began to imagine how great it would be have this available to people so they can become empowered and inspired thus I am passing it along to you.
When we imagine and visualize a world we want to see we begin to become more aware and awake. Once awoken we can take action to manifest the life that we desire, In imagining and discovering our why we begin to make a mind, body, and soul connection that allows us to create more peace, love, joy, and prosperity into our lives. It is when we take action and follow our passion that we can turn our dreams into reality. Many times we stunt our growth personally, professionally, and spiritually because we listen to what others say and our own negative self talk. It is time to go from limited thinking to limitless beliefs by embracing the idea of what the mind can conceive, the heart can believe, you can achieve. It is time to stop listening to the naysayers, the doubters, and the haters and to start listening to your heart. It is important to shut of the the negative self talk and go from the idea of what can go wrong to the idea of what can go right. It is time to take a journey into your imagination as take action on something that you have been meaning to do for but haven’t taken action because you decided to forget everything and run well now is the time to face everything and rise.
Now is your time to let your imagination flow and take action so you will be on top of the world. Many times we focus on all that is troubling us and holding us back which creates blockages stifling our progress to become the best version of ourselves. It is time to reflect and look and all, the good that you have done and how you have grown personally, professionally, and spiritually. It is time to clear the blockages and remind yourself that you are an amazing creative being capable of extraordinary things. It is time to make a commitment to spark it up and pass it along for you have so much to offer your community. It is time to take all the losses and accept them and learn from them and share your experience so as to help other people excel. The time is now to create sacred space that will allow you to reflect on and release anything that may be stopping you from creating the life that you imagined.
As you spark it up and pass it along take time to walk in nature and allow yourself to stay centered, focused, and grounded. Take a moment to show gratitude for what GOD has created and use the energy of gratitude to create the life that you imagined. As you walk in nature bring a journal with you so you can write down thoughts and ideas that you can take action on in the future.
Keep a notepad and pen with you as you never know when an idea will hit you that you think could help in moving you forward in a positive direction toward exceeding your goals and objectives. If you have an idea that you think will work to enhance your personal, professional, and spiritual life take action to implement the idea and let everything flow as GOD has intended and see where it takes you. You may find like I did the other day that what you imagined can be brought to fruition and thus bringing you joy and a sense of accomplishment.
After receiving a donation of mini helmets from Riddell to use in my fundraising efforts efforts for The American Cancer Society Relay For Life I thought wouldn’t it be great to have a Relay For Life mini helmet. I spoke to the people at Riddell and thye came up with this design. I share this design with The American Cancer Society and they are thinking about doing these helmets. This is one example of how sparking it up and passing it along by using your imagination can make a difference in peoples lives. It is when we decide to take action and heed the messages that are being sent to us from GOD, Jesus, The Ascended Masters, and The Angels that we are able to spark it up and pass it along. There are many opportunities for us to spark it up and pass it along we just have to stop and take a breathe and then take action which in turn allows us to continue on our spiritual journey toward enlightenment. Continue to imagine today! Namaste!!!
Spiritual Awakening: Spark It Up And Pass It Along!!!
It is when we spark up our creativity and take action that we enhance the spiritual awakening process. On of my favorite exhibits at EPCOT is Journey Into Imagination as it reminds us just how powerful we are and how important it is to collaborate with others to bring our visions to life. It taking action on a vision that you conceive in your mind and believe in your heart you will manifest what you are seeking. In imagining and then bringing that idea to life you also come alive and find that you are expanding in your personal, professional, and spiritual life. How many times have you been told by others that it is impossible or your idea is crazy and you didn’t pursue your idea only to see someone else implement it and have success? How many times have you let negative self talk sabotage you and stop you from taking action? There will always be doubters, naysayers, and haters but do not allow them to rent space in your head. Through the spiritual awakening process I have learned there are no bad ideas and that you never know until you take action. In taking action and putting your idea put there you will see what is working and what needs improvement. In using your imagination and making sure you write things down as they come to you it will allow you to take action when ready. I recommend that you get a legal pad and carry it with you and keep it with in arms length at all times so you can record your ideas and then take action to bring them to life. I have a friend who carries a small tape recorder with him every where he goes and when he has an idea he speaks it into the tape recorder and then when he has 15 minutes he listens to the playback and thus is able to begin the process of taking action on the idea. Simply imagine and then take action to bring the vision to life.
Imagine if everyone began to subscribe to the belief that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations what a world we would have. If we simply began to understand that we are all divine children of GOD and that GOD has great plans for us we would become more aware and awake thus allowing us to make a mind, body, soul connection which would lead us to manifesting the life we desire. Remember that you are where you are today in the place that GOD has planned you to be and everything is the way it is supposed to be at this time. It is when you can visualize and act as if that you will begin to understand more clearly your spiritual awakening.
As I reflected back on my experience as a U.S. Peace Corps Volunteer in The Philippines and a very insightful trip to The Botanical Garden in La Union I realized that as we awaken spiritually we must change our scenery from time to time. I remember the day I ventured to the Botanical Garden it was extremely hot and the walk from the center of San Fernando was about 6 KM( 4 miles). I was alone but along the way I was able to stop and engage with some of the local Filipinos and they all said the same thing it is a long walk here is some tubig (water). I took the water and drank it and as I walked I realized just how lucky I was to have the opportunity to do something that showed that the brotherhood of man transcends the sovereignty of nations. I arrived at The Botanical Garden and as I walked the garden grounds and saw some great sites I sat on the bench pictured here and really began to understand that if I want to things to change I had to change. As I rode in the jeepney down the mountain all I could think of was how a change of scenery can positively affect your attitude. It was at that point that I realized that sometimes all it takes is a change of scenery to change the way things are going in your life. I finished my service with the Peace Corps in February 2003 and here it is 13 1/2 years later that I find myself using this lesson to enhance my personal, professional, and spiritual life.
Where I live now we have a big lake and in some areas around the lake there are benches to sit and just enjoy being out in nature. On days when it is clear and I get off work early or have a day off I will find myself walking around the lake and then sitting on a bench and sitting in quiet reflection or talking with GOD. Sometimes I find myself speaking with my mom who was called home to GOD on July 5, 2012. When reflecting or communicating with GOD, my mom, and other angels I find myself getting a new way of looking at things. I have found that when doing this I am able to release the negative feelings that create blockages and hold me back from evolving and creating the life I want.
