Listening Within, Three



Listening Within, Three

If we have cultivated the observer in ourselves, we will notice times when our mental processes are not functioning creatively or harmoniously. This observer can begin to see when we carry resentment in the form of habitual complaints, when we indulge in self-pity or self-judgement, or when we play old recordings with negative themes.

If we observe our inner talking, we will see that each day our thoughts cluster around a few different themes. An event, a conversation, or some reading will set off reverberations in the mind. Some difficult situation will echo in our thoughts with surprising persistence, and these echoes will distort or at least colour other experiences that have nothing to do with that past experience. This is one way that we carry the past inappropriately into the present. An unpleasant experience at work will be brought home. Difficulty with a family member might reflect on relationships outside the family. A certain pattern of thinking activated in one situation persists into another, making it more difficult to know the moment as it is.

If we are preoccupied with some worry, for instance, it absorbs most of our awareness. To the extent of this preoccupation, this absorption of awareness, we are absent from the present moment. Imagine, for instance, that while at work I received news of some unexpected expense and I am worried about paying it. As I drive home my thoughts echo this preoccupation. I drive unconsciously, automatically. I carry this preoccupation into my home and perhaps seem distant to others around me, not really enjoying their company or giving them my real attention. Depending on the degree of my self-awareness, I may not really be conscious of the time I have lost, or of what is occupying my thinking. In other words, much of this may be happening on an unconscious level. Not only is the present moment obscured, but the contents of my own mind may not be known because my “I” is so absorbed in what is going on. In this state of identification with mechanical talking, negative emotional loops prevail; the Life force is imprisoned; a rich emotional and spiritual life is not possible.

Listening Within, Two



Listening Within, Two

This listening to our inner talking should first be practiced within the context of meditation, where it can be experienced under relatively controlled conditions. Listening to our thoughts is different from commenting on them. Conscious listening is possible only in a heightened awareness. The inner commentaries with which we are filled are an example of thought judging thought, one part of the intellectual mind commenting on another. This occurs normally in our everyday experience and is simply the result of our mind being composed of many separate parts, each having its opinions and judgments of the others.

Conscious listening takes place on a different level, a viewpoint from which thinking, feeling, and behaving can be observed. If we practice this listening when we are quiet and still, focused only on the task of listening, we still see how we move from being identified with the process of thinking to being aware and relatively free of thought. Occasionally we have a moment of observing the process of thought itself.

Once we have practiced it enough to know it, we can attempt to introduce more of this listening into the midst of life. Occasionally we will catch ourselves at the end of a process of thinking and will awaken from it much the same way as we awaken from a dream. So much of our waking time is spent unconsciously identified with the process of thinking, out of touch with the present moment and situation, living in our heads.

George Winston’s Thanksgiving from his album, Winter



George Winston’s Thanksgiving from his album, Winter


Feeling a little nostalgic this morning…While cruising the net, I ran across this piece on youtube and thought I would post it…accompanied with a few comments from admirers…


I remember my mom would always play this album during thanksgiving day. its back when the farmers burned the cornfields in the area so there was always that odd sweet smell in the air with a warm orange light coming though the windows. we have moved since then and my mom hasn’t played the album in awhile.

Davidevgen

When I was a teenager, I gave this album (in cassette form) to my mom for her 40th birthday. We were so poor, the only place we had a tape player was in the car....we hopped in the car and drove for 1.5 hours so we could listen to it 3 times....the best memories of my teenage years!!! My mom is still alive and I just called her to let her know she could listen to is again from her computer. We both cried tears of joy and shared memories.

Amy Metcalf

This song is the first track on a Windham Hill Christmas album that my family always used to play on Thanksgiving Day, right after the Macy's Parade- so it was always the first music of the holiday season for us. Hearing it brings back this enormous rush of nostalgic for my childhood.

Saena

Each time I hear it, I get this sense of nostalgia for something lost or in the past, that once was, but will never be.

Mygalmo

When I was a little boy, my mom wanted to listen to 'thanksgiving' that I playing for her. I was very shy for it, so I could hardly play, although I could do that well as a child.now I'm not a boy..over 30years old, feeling regretful for it. And I'm missing everything about that time..


I was 16 when I first heard this album (which is actually what it was back then). My father noticed how moved I was by Mr. Winston, he bought a huge upright piano for me and put it in my room. Over the next two years I learned about music and wrote some of my own too. When I had a bad day at school or was feeling that typical teenage angst, I would listen to this album and, like magic, all the pain would simply disappear. It is the most sacred childhood experience/memory for me.

Mark R

I've lived in the northern tier of the U.S. (Massachusetts) all of my life and have luckily lived thru 65 winters thus far.Winters here are a time for reflection, introspection, rumination, etc It's a serious time of the year.

Joe J

I listen to this every year during the first snowfall. I sit in a chair near the window, sometimes light a fire, and just watch and listen. It used to be that the kids simply knew not to bother me. Now, more and more, they put down the Facebook and video games and join me.

Person of Interest

My son has went to sleep so many times since he was born on my lap to this album. We just had a wonderful conversation about it as he dozed off this evening. He is 5 and loves George Winston.

Jerm Gibson

I've been an addict for 20 years.. Not bragging or anything, just saying. My neighbors John turned me on to this beautiful music & it really helps me calm myself when I'm feeling anxious. I would have LOVED to buy all his cds for my mom but she was killed in a terrible accident shortly after I heard these beautiful works.. Thank you Mr. Winston for helping me thru the healing process of my addiction. I feel the presence of God when I listen to you & I appreciate that more than you can ever know. May God bless you & keep you always.. Sincerely, Dana Porter-Izzo

Sharon Porter


Thank you for letting me evoke my daddy who passed away 4years away. When I was 12(29y ago), he gave me this CD piano album and I really enjoyed it a lot! It toughed my feeling and drove me calm and quiet when I need relax and good sleep. Also I had great imaginations listening George Winston's album. My most favorite of his piano playing are Canon and Joy. I played the piano both as well, when my daddy bought a very nice piano on my birthday. Only I have such a great and happy memory for George Winston with my daddy. And now, it's snowing in NYC today, it's the 2nd in this winter. Daddy, I miss you so much. Love you!

Listening Within


Since in order to speak, one must first listen, learn to speak by listening

Rumi, Mathnawi I:1627


It is possible to restructure the brain so that there is more conscious awareness. This has been called polishing the mirror, awakening from sleep, cultivating the witness, and developing the real “I.” Through changing the energy level of the brain, we can activate a different kind of brain function – a finer attention that stands above routine, habitual thought, feeling, and behaviour.  

This presence – this conscious, listening mind – not only opens a window on our experience, it also connects us to the source of will. Attention can be called the first act of the will. It establishes the relationship between observer and experience, raising the level of experience and transforming a biological automaton into a sensitive being. It is this sensitivity that makes the difference between being nominally awake and experiencing life as the gift it is…

A change in vibration occurs when we move from passive attention to active attention. When our attention is passive, we are merely reacting to random stimuli in the environment and within our own psychology. We are weakened and fragmented by the various demands that occupy our attention.

An active attention, on the other hand, allows us to be receptive and whole by connecting us to the source of will, a willing, conscious I-ness, a more unified and harmonized presence. A change in energy level has taken place. This active attention creates more and more energy of its own kind and brings increasing freedom from the processes within the mind. It allows us to listen in on our thoughts more clearly and feel our feelings. It is the beginning of knowing ourselves.

Through this process we are freed from the servitude to habitual thoughts and feelings. Many unconscious motivators – such as envy, resentment, and fear – lose some of their power over us. We are taken out of the darkness and brought into the light of awareness, where emotional contradictions can be seen and resolved, where self-defeating thought patterns can be understood and worked with.

Everyday maintenance of the Soul



Everyday maintenance of the Soul

What does it mean to care for your soul? Care of the soul is the constant practise of bringing loving attention to the problems, conflicts, and longings of our lives. Emotional suffering is something to be attended to, not split off from. We can learn to read our life as a story, rather than as a clinical case. Moreover, if the story we have been telling ourselves is a melodrama or tragedy, we need to rewrite the story. Every human life, when seen from the perspective of the unrelenting Divine Mercy, is the story of grace unfolding. Love is revealing itself in the precise details of each human life, if only we do not impose the script of self-pity, bitterness, and fearfulness. The soul is where the divine attributes of God may be awakened from their latent state to be integrated into our character. These qualities are the soul’s natural inheritance from the Divine. It is through communion with the Divine that the soul takes on the spiritual attributes of kindness, generosity, courage, forgiveness, patience, and freedom…

The soul is a knowing substance that knows the Reality beyond time and space. To acquire this kind of knowing is to become illuminated, to be connected to a greater intelligence that will guide every step of your life. Instead of living in fear and uncertainty, you will more and more be able to trust the unfolding of Life. 

The work of the soul is the greatest satisfaction in life. It is a long journey with many stages of realization. If you want to know how close you are to living the life of the soul, simply ask yourself: How much of my life energy is devoted to complaining about my circumstances, blaming others for my own unhappiness, controlling others to achieve my desires, deceiving others to make myself look good, or promoting myself? The remedy for all these spiritual diseases is the same: contact with your true inner being, which is a reflection of the Divine.

After all is said and done, after all our spiritual practices and all the esoteric knowledge that might be acquired, the real measure of soulfulness is simply the degree of our humility, gratitude, patience, and love.

The 10 Core Concepts of Science of Mind



The 10 Core Concepts of Science of Mind

Dr. Ernest Holmes, the founder of Religious Science and developer of the
Science of Mind philosophy, gave this definition for his teaching: Religious Science is a synthesis of the laws of science, opinions of philosophy,and revelations of religion, applied to human needs and the aspirations of humankind.

Dr. Ernest Holmes was a mystic who found God in the silence. Going within and experiencing God in the deepest part of himself was his spiritual practice. His spirituality was reflected in his living; he believed he was one with God, and he experienced that oneness in all that he did. As important as the mystical experience was to Dr. Holmes, he also believed that religion had to be applied to everyday life problems, as an integral part of the walk of faith. Wholeness involved the Presence, yes, but also the Power -- the two faces of the dual nature of God.

Dr. Holmes developed the Science of Mind philosophy to reflect his twin beliefs that the inner experience of God gave entry to the Power of God and that changing the way we think about our conditions causes the Power of the
Universe to change those conditions to make our lives better. Science of Mind identifies the spiritual principles that apply equally to everyone in every situation, and it teaches us how to use them for our advantage.

In their 1993 revision of the Foundational Class curriculum, Religious Science educators demonstrated that the Science of Mind philosophy is based on 10 Core Concepts that serve as the organizing principles of the Universe. The complete text of the Core Concepts can be found in the Foundational Class workbook. Summarized, with keywords, they are:

1 - Oneness- God is the Source of all that is, and God is all that is. Everything in the Universe is made of the God-substance and is a unique, individualized expression of God.

2 – Triune Nature - God expresses Itself in three aspects -- Spirit, Soul, and Body. Each human being also has these same three aspects. Thus, there is
God as macrocosm, human beings as microcosm.

3 - Creative Nature - God thinks, and the world comes into being. Likewise, all human accomplishments originate in thought. Our human thinking process is a reflection of the Divine Creative Process in microcosm.

4 - Prayer - All Good is eternally available and ready to flow into human experience. We activate this flow by means of prayer. Through affirmative prayer, or spiritual mind treatment,we increase our consciousness of Good eternally flowing to us.

5 – Wholeness - Spirit is a transcendent, perfect Whole that contains and embraces all seeming opposites.As human beings, we have free will and can
Choose what we experience, whether it be positive or negative.The same Principle that brings us freedom, prosperity, and joy also allows us to
experience bondage, lack, or misery, according to our consciousness.

6 - Abundance - All that anyone will ever need or desire is already provided by Universal Abundance. This applies to everybody, not just some people. Every person is heir to the riches of Creation, without regard to merit.

7 - The Reciprocal Universe - For every visible form there is an invisible counterpart. This means that what we receive corresponds to what we imagine and believe we can receive, the Law of Mental Equivalents. This also is the Golden Rule: that what we do to others will be done also to us, the Law of Cause and Effect.

8 - Forgiveness - In the Eternal Now, there can be no place
for Divine anger, unforgiveness, or punishment. If we perceive a need for forgiveness, this is a human condition. Human forgiveness is the process that frees us to live in the Eternal Now. It is the essential step before real spiritual growth can flourish. Science of Mind teaches that the ultimate goal of life is complete emancipation from all discord of every nature, and that this goal is sure to be attained by all.

9 - Immortality- The Universal Truth about life is that life never ends. What we call death is simply the changing of one form of life for another. Death, the belief and perception that life must come to an end, is a human concept. As in birth the invisible becomes visible, so in dying the visible again becomes invisible. Life continues on another plane when the body has outlived its usefulness.

10 - The Christ - Christ is not a person, but a Principle, a Universal Presence, the Universal Image of God that is present in all Creation. This is the concept of the Cosmic Christ, which is present within every person. Each human individual partakes of the Christ nature to the degree that he or she recognizes the Cosmic Christ within and lives out of that revelation. Jesus of Nazareth was a human individual who revealed the Christ Nature to the highest degree ever known.

Christmas 2



Christmas 2

Our day is measured from midnight to midnight, and, since the visible day begins in the east and ends in the west, the ancients said the day was born of that constellation which occupied the eastern horizon at midnight. On Christmas Eve, or midnight of December 24th, the constellation Virgo is rising on the eastern horizon. So it is recorded that this son and savior of the world was born of a virgin. It is also recorded that this virgin mother was traveling through the night, that she stopped at an inn and was given the only available room among the animals and there in a manger, where the animals fed, the shepherds found the Holy Child.

The animals with whom the Holy Virgin was lodged are the holy animals of the zodiac. There in that constantly moving circle of astronomical animals stands the Holy Mother, Virgo, and there you will see her every midnight of December 24th, standing on the eastern horizon as the sun and savior of the world starts his journey northward.

Psychologically, this birth takes place in man on that day when man discovers his consciousness to be the sun and savior of his world. When man knows the significance of this mystical statement, "I am the light of the world," he will realize that his I AM, or consciousness, is the sun of his life, which sun radiates images upon the screen of space. These images are in the likeness of that which he, as man, is conscious of being. Thus qualities and attributes which appear to move upon the screen of his world are really projections of this light from within himself. The numberless unrealized hopes and ambitions of man are the seeds which are buried within the consciousness or virgin womb of man. There they remain like the seeds of earth, held in the frozen waste of winter, waiting for the sun to move northward or for man to return to the knowledge of who he is. In returning he moves northward through recognition of his true self by claiming "I AM the light of the world."

When man discovers his consciousness or I AM to be God, the savior of his world, he will be as the sun in its northern passage. All hidden urges and ambitions will then be warmed and stimulated into birth by this knowledge of his true self. He will claim that he is that which heretofore he hoped to be. Without the aid of any man, he will define himself as that which he desires to express. He will discover that his I AM is the virgin conceiving without the aid of man, that all conceptions of himself, when felt, and fixed in consciousness, will be embodied easily as living realities in his world.

Man will one day realize that this whole drama takes place in his consciousness, that his unconditioned consciousness or I AM is the Virgin Mary desiring to express, that through this law of self-expression he defines himself as that which he desires to express and that without the help or cooperation of anyone he will express that which he has consciously claimed and defined himself as being. He will then understand: why Christmas is fixed on December 25th, while Easter is a movable date; why upon the virgin conception the whole of Christendom rests; that his consciousness is the virgin womb or bride of the Lord receiving impressions as self-impregnations and then without assistance embodying these impressions as the expressions of his life.

Christmas



Christmas

Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is God with us. —
Matt. 1:23.

One of the most controversial statements in the New Testament concerns the virgin conception and subsequent birth of Jesus, a conception in which man had no part. It is recorded that a virgin conceived a son without the aid of man, then secretly and without effort gave birth to her conception. This is the foundation upon which all Christendom rests.

The Christian world is asked to believe this story, for man must believe the unbelievable to fully express the greatness that he is. Scientifically, man might be inclined to discard the whole Bible as untrue because his reason will not permit him to believe that the virgin birth is physiologically possible, but the Bible is a message of the soul and must be interpreted psychologically if man is to discover its true symbology. Man must see this story as a psychological drama rather than a statement of physical fact. In so doing he will discover the Bible to be based on a law which if self-applied will result in a manifested expression transcending his wildest dreams of accomplishment. To apply this law of self-expression, man must be schooled in the belief and disciplined to stand upon the platform that "all things are possible to God."

The outstanding dramatic dates of the New Testament, namely, the birth, death and resurrection of Jesus, were timed and dated to coincide with certain astronomical phenomena. The mystics who recorded this story noticed that at certain seasons of the year beneficial changes on earth coincided with astronomical changes above. In writing this psychological dramathey have personified the story of the soul as the biography of man. Using these cosmic changes, they have marked the birth and resurrection of Jesus to convey that the same beneficial changes take place psychologically in the consciousness of man as he follows the law.
 
Even to those who fail to understand it the story of Christmas is one of the most beautiful stories ever told. When unfolded in the light of its mystic symbology, it is revealed as the true birth of every manifestation in the world. 

This virgin birth is recorded as having taken place on December 25th or, as certain secret societies celebrate it, on Christmas Eve, at midnight of December 24th. Mystics established this date to mark the birth of Jesus because it was in keeping with the great earthly benefits this astronomical change signifies. The astronomical observations which prompted the authors of this drama to use these dates were all made in the northern hemisphere; so from an astronomical point of view the reverse would be true if seen from the southern latitudes. However, this story was recorded in the north and therefore was based on northern observation.

Man very early discovered that the sun played a most important part in his life, that without the sun physical life as he knew it could not be. So these most important dates in the story of the life of Jesus are based upon the position of the sun as seen from the earth in the northern latitudes. 

After the sun reaches its highest point in the heavens in June, it gradually falls southward, taking with it the life of the plant world so that by December almost all of nature has been stilled. Should the sun continue to fall southward, all nature would be stilled unto death. However, on December 25th, the sun begins its great move northward, bringing with it the promise of salvation and life anew for the world. Each day, as the sun rises higher in the heavens, man gains confidence in being saved from death by cold and starvation, for he knows that as it moves northward and crosses the equator all nature will rise again, will be resurrected from its long winter sleep.

Enemies of the Soul



Enemies of the Soul

So what takes us away from presence and remembrance? This is what we must observe in ourselves, for different types of people have different ways of abandoning their souls.

A big ego is not the same as a strong soul. The ego is more of a reaction to circumstances and conditions than an agent with independent will. The ego has little viability because it is more of an effect than a cause. It may have the strength of self-interest, but that same self-interest makes it vulnerable to a million disappointments and threats.

What are the signs of a weak soul? If we are dominated by the attractions of the world, bouncing among likes and dislikes, shifting from one sub-personality to another, from one intention to another, changing our mind constantly, living without a center, these are signs that our soul needs more substance.

In simple terms care of the soul is disengaging from the matrix – the false reality we are hypnotized to believe and conform to – and connecting to the true source of our being.

Human beings are extraordinarily suggestible. We tend to believe in a childlike way what we are told, what is repeated, and what those around us believe. In small, traditional communities and tribes this suggestibility may have been an advantage. More often than not, the wisdom of experience was passed from generation to generation. But as society became more complex and diversified into large, institutional religions, political parties, and empires, the sources of indoctrination became more sophisticated. In today’s fractured societies people can be manipulated and controlled by beliefs, opinions, symbols, and dogma manufactured by psycho-pathological individuals and secret societies that seek control and power.

What does it mean to “sell your soul’?

The preferred means of seduction are porneia (whatever distances us from our true nature) and anaesthesia (a defense against the imagined pain of waking up).

These rigid constructs then usurp presence and imagination, building a false reality; the feeling of being alone and vulnerable in an impersonal universe, or of being an imperfect soul striving to please a judgemental God, results in a persistent existential alienation. Through this day-to-day loneliness and fear we are manipulated into false security by those who seek to control us. They play upon the ego’s need to be with the tribe, the party, the ‘true’ religion.

The Imprisoned Self



The Imprisoned Self

“To be what we are and to become what we are capable of being,” wrote Robert
Louis Stevenson, “is the only end of life.” But when we stultify our divine
birthright in manacles of mental and spiritual limitations, then we have no
alternative but stagnation and pain. As long as we are responsive solely to the
stimuli that impinge upon our senses from the outer world, we have no choice but
to be victims of every circumstance. Locked to the senses, we reel under each
stimulus, now aggressive, now afraid, now joyful, now sad, now seeking death,
now life, but always our inner serenity and equilibrium are in the hands of
something we neither understand nor control; and so we are puppets, pulled by
invisible and unknown strings, swirling in the maelstrom of life like scraps of
paper in the wind; and if perchance we garner knowledge enough to perceive our
helplessness, then we often are overcome with such depths of sadness as to
make effort against our bonds an almost unimaginable thing.

But the moment that we pause long enough in the headlong rush of life to see
that we are not moving in accord with or in response to our own decisions but
rather in reaction to the world around us, then we have taken the first step
toward freedom. Only one who knows his slavery can aspire to be free, just as
true freedom is possible only to one who has experienced chains. Our hates,
loves, fears, envies, aspirations, deceits are for the most part products of
circumstance, of false and limiting codes and mores—more often innate terrors of
mountains that are molehills; and the solution to all of them is to stand fore-
square before them, daring them to do their utmost, exposing them for what they
are, thus foreswearing allegiance to the cupidity of the deluding and blinding ego
which forever keeps us thinking we are greater than others and less than we truly
are.

The Magic in your Mind
U.S. Andersen

The Mask



The Mask

The surface mind or sense-self or ego is the villain of the play that is being
enacted on the human stage at present. Man as a form of life is sufficiently
evolved so as to understand his separateness and uniqueness. He looks in the
mirror and understands that the reflected animal is he. He is concerned with the
appearance and welfare of this animal and ponders its relationships with the
world and others. He does not truly understand what he is, only that he is
conscious and confined within a particular body, and the experience and
knowledge he acquires, together with his disposition as to their use, he labels “I,”
and thus he is deluded into calling a ghost by his own name.

Hidden behind this ghost, obscured by its struggles and fancies, is the Secret Self,
which even though hidden, ignored, or misunderstood, nevertheless moves all
things on the chessboard of life according to their natures and aspirations. We are
never ego or senseself. These are masks we don as we play at the parts we find
in life. What we truly are is not a changing thing, but is whole and entire, powerful and serene, limitless and eternal. It springs from the inexhaustible
source of life itself, and when we learn to identify ourselves with it, then we have
hitched a ride on a power so far beyond our tiny temporal selves that our lives
are changed in the most amazing manner.

Care of the Soul



Care of the Soul

In Sufism we understand the human being to be composed of three aspects; self, heart, and spirit. Self is the experience of our personal identity, including our thoughts and emotions. Heart is something deeper, experienced through an inner knowing, often with a quality of compassion, conscience, and love. It can ultimately lead to the recognition of the deepest part of ourselves – our innermost consciousness, or Spirit, the reflection of God within us.

If we simply say that soul is our inner being, then the quality of our inner being, or soul, is the result of the relationship between self and our innermost consciousness, Spirit. The self without the presence of spirit is merely ego, the false mask, which is governed by self-centered thoughts and emotions.

The more the self becomes infused with spirit, the more “soulful” it becomes. We use the words presence and remembrance to describe the conscious connection between self and Spirit. The more we live mindfully with presence, the more we remember God, and the more soulful we are, the more we drop the mask.

Care of the soul, then, is always the cultivation of presence and remembrance. Presence includes all the ways we mindfully attend to our lives

Soul is the child of the union of self and spirit. When this union has matured, the soul acquires substance and structure. That is why it is said in some teachings that we do not automatically have a soul; we must acquire one through our spiritual work.

Ho’oponopon Hawaiian Mantra



Ho’oponopon Hawaiian Mantra

We are part of a whole.

Self Identity through Ho’oponopon is an updated version of an old Hawaiian problem-solving process that releases the memories or programs that we recorded in our sub-conscious.

These memories are activated by our thoughts. Our mind is a thinking machine. It thinks millions of thoughts a day, as well as our heart is a machine pulse. So we are conscious of a tiny portion of these millions of thoughts. When a thought comes to mind, even without us realizing it, it automatically activates a memory stored in our sub-conscious mind and then manifests itself as a problem. Problems are memories that recur throughout our lives. When we are conscious that we are 100% responsible for everything that we manifest in our lives, then we accept our problems as a chance to clean them from our lives. We can appeal to Divinity who knows our personal blueprint for healing of all thoughts and memories that are holding us back at this time.

I don’t need to know what is happening or feel guilty since I don’t know why I activated this memory that manifested itself as a problem in my life. When I try to solve my problems by myself, I may fail because I will turn once again to a memory of my past or my ancestors. When I allow the Divine Intelligence to solve this problem, the solution appears perfect. So, as I don’t know what is best for me, I allow the Divine Intelligence to give me the right answer…How?...Assuming that I am 100% responsible for everything that I manifest in my life, and wondering what is going on in me that I’m expressing this problem?...and say to myself…I love you…I’m sorry…Please forgive me…Thank you.

I LOVE YOU…because I know I’m part of the Devine and therefore perfect in every way.


I’m SORRY…that I have expressed this problem in my life, since I am 100% responsible for it.


PLEASE FORGIVE ME…I’m asking forgiveness to myself and so I will be releasing these memories that are causing me problems in my life.


THANK YOU…for this problem that has manifested itself in my life, so I have one more chance to clean it.

Thank you for this problem has been solved.

Repeating these words, which are the key words to reach the sub-conscious mind, we are releasing these painful memories that caused problems in our lives and the lives of people involved with this problem.

It is a matter of going beyond traditional means of accessing knowledge about ourselves.

Nobody can guess what your next thought will be, because thoughts come from your sub-conscious mind. So, as I don’t have control at all over what will be my next thought, I can act on them or not. Act means clear these programs and memories that manifest themselves as problems. If the intellect worked by itself, it may not resolve this problem, but end up only concealing it. But since any problem is a projection of our mind or memories or programs, they will come back in another season, as soon as they are activated again by our thinking. What we really want is to clean, delete, releasing these memories and programs.

When we say…”I love you”…”I’m sorry”…”Please forgive me”…”thank you”…to the Divinity that is in us. It neutralizes and erases those painful memories that were stored in our sub-conscious mind and transforms these energies into pure love.

I’m asking LOVE to rectify this error that is in me saying, “I’m sorry,” “please forgive me “for whatever is happening within me that is causing this problem.

We are all perfect. What is imperfect in us is our memories and programs stored in our sub-conscious mind that we share with other people. As soon as I clean and delete what is imperfect in me, automatically the other people involved with this issue will also have cleared these memories that are manifesting problems. What I have to do is be 100% responsible for everything that appears in my life.

Saying…”I love you”…”I’m sorry”…”please forgive me”…”thank you”…and let God or the Devine in you, or your Super-Conscious Mind or whatever you want to call it cancel these memories and programs. And then, what is best for you will appear in your life.

The physical is the expression of memories and inspirations taking place in the soul of self-identity. Change the state of self identity and the state of the physical world changes. When your soul experiences memories (replaying as problems), say to them mentally or silently: ‘I love you dear memories. I am grateful for the opportunity to free all of you and me.

‘I love you’ can be repeated quietly again and again. Memories never go on vacation or retire unless you retire them. ‘I love you’ can be used even if you are not conscious of problems.


By taking 100% responsibility for the creation of our reality,
and with sincere regret of what was created in ignorance (I’m sorry),
we petition to the Divine to uncreate it (please forgive me).
Out of the acceptance of forgiveness arises love (I love you)
for the Divine, for self and for others,
and gratitude (thank you) for the healing received.
Love and gratitude restore the alignment with our true nature.

The Hidden “I”



The Hidden “I”

To be conscious is to be conscious; there are not different kinds. The “I” that is in
your neighbour is the exact same “I” within you. It may appear to be different
through being attached to different sensory experience, but that is only because
it has allowed itself to be conditioned by such experience. In point of actual fact
consciousness is never the result of experience but the cause instead, and
wherever we find it, it is primarily aware of existing, of being “I.” There is only
one basic consciousness in all creation; it takes up its residence in all things,
appears to be different according to the things it enters into, but in essence is
never changed at all. It is intelligence, awareness, energy, power, creativeness,
the stuff from which all things are made. It is the alpha and omega of existence,
first cause; it is you.

“Everything in Nature contains all the powers of Nature. Everything is made of
one hidden stuff,” wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson. He pierced the veil, perceived
behind the sense-enamoring dance of nature’s myriad forms the workings of the
one mind and one intelligence from which all life and aspiration spring. There can
be no inner peace or surety of action without this basic spiritual knowledge. The
man who lives isolated from the roots of his being has cut himself off from the
source of all power and dwells alone and without resource in a hostile and
threatening world. Let him once perceive the true nature of life and his
relationship to it and he soon sees that the world always reflects his thoughts
