Entering the Divine's Realms …
I would like to say my Gratitude for today, before the day is ended.
Thank You, Universe, for the rain today.
It’s not just once, but for quiet several times the rain poured heavily.
It’s such a blessing to have the rain pours down when it’s been hot in this town lately.
How about you?
What’s your gratitude for today?

Recently, I was lamenting that there is never enough time in the day for me to accomplish all that I need to. I know I’m not alone in this because many people’s refrain these days seems to be, “I’m so busy” or like me, “There is not enough time…”
Consider all of the roles we all play. For instance, in my life, I play the role of mother, wife, writer/consultant, cook, laundress, daughter, sister, daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, friend, and last and usually least, me for me. With these myriad roles come myriad responsibilities and I’ve taken to beating myself up for not getting it all done. This creates a vicious cycle – by attacking yourself, you plummet your own self-esteem and energy and usually end of getting even less done.
It’s time to take a step back and realize that instead of focusing on all that we’re not getting done, we should be focusing on all that we are getting done. I call this the Celebrate the Small Victories approach. The intent is to give a little love to yourself for all of the hard work you put into each day. This will make for a much happier existence, boost your self-esteem by placing focus on the positive and likely make you even more productive and energetic as time goes on. You can’t lose!
Here are a few guidelines to get you started.
Make a list.
That’s right, the age-old “To Do” list. It will get you organized and lay it all out for you. Do it on your phone, on yourcomputer, a notebook you always have with you or a loose piece of paper. You’ll soon find your own list-keeping style. However you keep it, keep it close and easily accessible. This will be an ongoing list that you will want to refer to and tinker with regularly.
Include it ALL on your list.
The big, the small, the seemingly inconsequential; it’s the small and inconsequential that will set you free. When you set out to celebrate the small victories, it all matters.
For example, my list as it looks today includes the following: write this article; unpack from the weekend trip; get oil changed on car; call to make one-year check-up appointment for my daughter; do laundry; order a new laundry basket; go to grocery store; throw away my beyond-dead flowers; get a hanging basket filled with beautiful flowers to hang from the deck; call back Megan and Allison; write a condolence note; pick-up dry cleaning; get some exercise; and, get the mail (yes, my mailbox is only ten feet from my front door, but it still counts as something to do). Everything counts.
TCB.
In case you aren’t familiar with Elvis Presley’s band’s name, it was TCB and TCB is what we all could use a little more of. TCB means Taking Care of Business and that’s the mantra you need to approach your To Dos. Start with one of the small or seemingly inconsequential things from your list and knock it out. Today may not be the day that you write that novel, but throwing in a load of laundry or making a doctor’s appointment has a different, but equally meaningful impact. Just think if you never did laundry…at least in my house, no one else would do it, so the fact that I do it makes a big difference in all of our lives! Tackling and giving yourself credit for all of these smaller TCB moments will help you start to realize how much you really do in a day.
Cross off/delete each and every thing you accomplish.
Take enormous pleasure in this. It feels good to cross it off, even if it’s “only” getting the mail. And if it is getting the mail, you get to cross it off and then put it back on again for tomorrow’s list. The process in and of itself is therapeutic. It increases your sense of accomplishment and highlights your productivity, even if you’re the only one taking note of these small triumphs.
Celebrate your small victories.
Congratulate yourself for everything you accomplish each day. Whether the day has ended and the only thing I’ve been able to do is get to the mail, so be it. That is still something. Sure, I’d feel like a rockstar if I’d have sewn my children some new clothes, called everyone I’ve been innocently neglecting for the past year and worked on my Nobel Peace Prize speech, but the truth is, I’m probably never going to have a day in which ALL of that gets done. How big or how much you’ve done slowly starts to take a back seat to the simple fact that you are doing.
Whereas before you might have focused on all of those things you didn’t get done, you’re now opening your eyes to all that you did do. Reward yourself with kind words, telling your spouse or a friend what you’ve done and that it means something to you. Heck, even open up a bottle of good wine, put your feet up and relax until tomorrow comes. After all, you work hard, so you deserve to take a rest!

Spiritual Counseling
a Three-Card Layout
This spread is taken from Soul Coaching Oracle Cards by Denise Linn.
Simply ask the question or focus on the concern while your hands hover over the cards.
Choose three, place them facedown and side-by-side, then turn them over in order.
Card 1: What needs to be healed.
This card is called the “Blockage Cards,” and it indicates the area that needs work in order to resolve the problem.
For example, if you receive the cards Courage, this might mean that you’ve been too fearful and should take a few more risks.
If the Love card appears, it could be saying that you need to love and nurture yourself more to achieve resolution of the issue.
Card 2: How to heal the blockage.
The second card is the spiritual tool or “Healing Card” that helps resolve the obstacle.
For example, if the card on the first card was Strength and you find Playfulness in the second cards, this might mean that stepping into your strength can be fun!
the Blockage Card
the Healing Card
That is, you can have pleasure while activating and accepting your own inner strengths or not being overwhelmed by the power of others.
Or, if the challenge on the first card is Joy and the Healing Card in the second card is Silence, this might mean that you’re taking life too seriously and not allowing yourself to experience happiness.
the Blockage Card
the Healing Card
This may be telling you to take the time to be still, get away from the hustle and bustle of life, and allow joy to gently enter into your heart.
Card 3: Future Outcome
The last card is the future outcome of the situation if you follow the advice that was given in the first two cards.
For example, if the Blockage Card is Passion, the Healing Card is Surrender, and the Future Card is Abundance, this might mean that if you surrender to passion, you’ll reap abundance in the future.

Enthusiasm
“I celebrate everything in my life,
and I live in limitless joy!”
Card meaning:
Embrace life with excitement, and celebrate even the smallest victories!
Let your childlike exuberance radiate to others — this isn’t the time to be cool or reserved.
Find joy in the ordinary events of life, and discover what’s great about today!
Your Soul wants you to know:
It’s easy to think that you’ll be enthusiastic once your dreams have become reality; however, the fastest way to manifestation is to be joyous about what you already have.
As a direct result of your unabashed excitement, you’ll start to see miracles in your life and in the lives of those around you.
Additionally, enthusiasm is a direct path to vibrant health: it helps improve your immune system and sends a message to your body that it’s vital, healthy, and strong.

I would like to say my Gratitude for today, before the day is ended.
“Thank You, Universe, that I could breathe properly with my nose when I woke up this morning.”
Lately, I’ve been having some problems with my breathing, one of the nostrils gets clogged every time I wake up in the morning.
But, not this morning fortunately.
How about you?

When we begin to feel lost or confused about various aspects of our lives, our first instinct is to search for direction. We feel sure that the answers we need are out there somewhere, and finding them will help us to know the right way to turn.
While seeking advice and guidance from others can be helpful at times, it is not always the best way to help ourselves. Rather than relying on someone else to tell us our truth, we can instead choose to look within and find the answers inside ourselves. Each of us has been given the gift of an inner advisor that will never steer us wrong.
This inner advisor is not pushy, however. He or she will not speak up unless we ask for help. When we finally open our hearts and minds to hear what our inner advisor has to say, the wisdom will begin to flow freely and our lives will begin to change for the better.
So, how do we tap this wealth of wisdom? Is there a request form we need to fill out somewhere? No, it’s even easier than that, thank goodness. Following are tips to help you connect with your inner guidance and use it to create your best life:
1) Create a Harmonious Forum - our inner guidance flourishes in peaceful, quiet surroundings. If you’ve got a lot of noise and chaos around you, you won’t be able to tap in and hear the wisdom waiting for you. Try to find a quiet place that you can relax in. You can also surround yourself with beauty by bringing in some fresh flowers, scented candles or incense, or even some soothing artwork. Whatever will help put you in a calm, peaceful mood.
2) Turn Within - if you’re not a regular meditator, this can be tricky at first. You might wonder what the heck you’re supposed to be turning “toward,” or focusing on. The answer is simple: nothing. Focus on nothing. Simply close your eyes and turn your attention inward, to the silence within you. Random thoughts will probably keep popping in, but gently push them back out and return your attention to the silence.
3) Listen for Wisdom - if you’ve got a specific situation you’re struggling with, this would be a good time to think about it. Try to do so without judgment, and without trying to come to any conclusions. Just ponder the issue and practice acceptance for what it is at this moment. Then ask yourself, “What would be the best course of action for me at this time?” Consider the possibilities before you, and think about how each one makes you feel. Most often, you will notice a difference between something that feels right, and something that feels wrong.
4) Let the Solution Materialize - if you don’t recieve any insights initially, put the issue aside for awhile. By going through this process, you’ve already tapped into your inner guidance and asked for help. Even if the answer doesn’t appear immediately, it will eventually. And in my experience, it doesn’t take long! Just make an effort to stay open to the answer when it arrives. It will usually arrive in a flash of inspiration or insight that makes you say, “Ah ha!” Or perhaps it will be more along the lines of a subtle gut feeling, where you just know that one particular course of action “feels” right.
5) Act from the Heart - once you know what you need to do, act with confidence. Don’t let worries or fears hold you back. Believe that your inner guidance knows what’s best for you, and move forward with courage. Remember that there are truly no right or wrong paths in life, only experiences that we can learn from. By at least examining your options and considering which path is right for you at this time, you are making a wiser decision than you would otherwise.
At all times, strive to be your own master. There is nothing wrong with seeking knowledge and insight from others, but you aren’t bound to mindlessly follow where they lead, either. You have the ability to find your own way and decide what’s best for you. In your quest for knowledge, you will come across information that feels right to you, and information that doesn’t seem to make sense. Use discernment and understand that there are many truths. You just have to find yours.

“…ALL THAT IS seemingly scatters its omnipotence into new patterns of being that, in your terms, remember their source and look back to it longingly, while still glorifying in the unique individuality that is their own.”
Seth: The Nature of Personal Reality – Jane Roberts
The key to consciously using the Law of Attraction is to remember who you are. Whether you appreciate this reminder or it’s the opposite of what you’ve been taught, if you are reading this, on some level you are ready to see the world with new eyes.
Simply put, your thoughts create your reality because…
You are of GOD, the I AM THAT I AM, the ALL THAT IS
You are part of the infinite ocean of pure potential where all things are possible. You also are an Energy Being, an individualized vibration of God which gives you a unique perspective.
As an Energy Being, you can perceive what is and what is not a part of your unique perspective.
Everything springs from God Consciousness. You, the stars above, and the thoughts you think are of the absolute origin, ultimate unified field, membrane, and fabric of our Universe. You are of the Source of all awareness which is everywhere at all times.
As an Energy Being, you are an individualized expression of God. When you came to Earth you forgot who you are so that you could, through life experience, expand God Consciousness by turning what could be (potential) into what is (reality).
Your life on Earth is about experiencing a physical world of conditions that cause you to ask for more than what is. Your thoughts and actions are energetic vibrations that cause an aspect of infinite potential (God Consciousness) to become physical reality. As an Energy Being, it is your attention and expectation that brings it into being.
“When you offer a vibration, the Universal forces are working in concert with each other in order to satisfy you. You really are the center of the Universe.”
Abraham-Hicks
Freedom for All
God Consciousness is objective, impartial, and granting of well being to all. Your existence as an Energy Being is not limited to one physical life experience. What you think and do on Earth as a physical expression of God Consciousness is not judged by God Consciousness. Your Earth existence is a celebrated part of the whole, no matter what.
Judgment and condemnation are subjective, fear-based responses to conditions that seem threatening when you have forgotten who you really are. When you remember who you are, fear and judgment just get in your way.
Your best friend is the Law of Attraction Principles which governs the way potential becomes reality. It is objective and impartial, and applies to everyone at all times. Without it, free will would not be possible.
The gap between who you really are and who you are being is a perceptual illusion that is keeping you from expecting and receiving the good things you deserve. To change your life, do all you can to remember who you really are and seek inspiration for your actions, which comes from your eternal nature (inside of you), rather than external motivation, which is prompted by the ever changing conditions around you.
Close the Gap
To close the gap, you have to let go of the outdated concepts and limiting beliefs you learn from those who do not remember who they really are.
It helps to understand that most humans are afraid of remembering who they really are because their family, religious, and political authorities have used fear and criticism to control them. However, we always have the mental freedom to buy into their tactics or not. Think about war survivors who refused to succum to torture and the propaganda of their time! These are our ancestors who blazed the heoric trails we can only imagine.
Happily, over the centuries, the cumulative desires of mankind have given birth to the benefits of modern science and psychology. In many parts of the world, we demanded the freedom to determine our own lives. Modern democracy, the abolition of slavery, the fall of communism and dictatorships, and technology have allowed us to enjoy longer lives and a higher standard of living (even considering the drawbacks).
This progress is evidence of our collective evolution. Together with our ancestors, we are turning potential into a new form of reality. Our children and future generations will build on our advances and live lives we can barely imagine today.
My question is, are you ready to let go of the old world restrictions that are controlling you through fear and holding you back today? Are you ready to sail across the endless ocean of which you are a part, or do you still believe the Earth is flat and that you must cling to the shore??
Are you ready to catch even just an inkling of the power and deliciousness that is within you and everyone else?
If you are, you will never have cause to regret it. What you will learn is that all is well, there is no danger, and that you are loved by your Creator beyond measure. You will learn to see things with new eyes, an open heart, and a mind full of brilliant ideas. Your energy level, your health, and your ability to get out there and do what you want will seem like magic to those who are afraid of the ocean. You won’t care if they approve of you because you will see how much they want to be like you!
As this Practice is the foundation for the others, I’ve included a brief exploration of quantum theory and the relationship between matter, energy, and consciousness. I find scientific explanations can help us organize our thoughts around metaphysical principles, especially as scientists get closer to the top of the mountain climbed ages ago by the mystics.
Quantum Exploration
Science tells us that everything is made of energy. The atoms and molecules of your body, the chair beneath you, and the stars above you are actually made of highly complex arrangements of tiny packets of energy (quanta) with great distances (relatively speaking) between them.
But what is energy?
Quantum theorists now seriously suspect that energy has no physical origin. The closer we look at the composition of energy, the faster its physical properties disappear. At the sub-atomic level, packets of energy pop in and out of existence, vibrate at certain speeds, spin in peculiar directions, and communicate instantaneously across vast distances. According to Einstein, this is impossible in a three-dimensional space-time universe, so much of what creates our physical world must be taking place beyond the realm of physicality!
When you dig down deep enough, energy is affected by the expectations of the observer and Newtonian physics does not apply. Energy can only be described in terms of “wave-forms of information” that contain undetermined potentials (uncertainties), probabilities, and relationships with other wave-forms. The wave-forms collapse to become physical energy quantum packets in agreement with other energy packets when an observer expects to perceive an outcome. Energy only becomes physical matter when we step back and look at the big picture.
A popular theory with quantum scientists is that our Universe was created by a collision of two or more hyper-dimensional membranes (infinitely large wave-forms of information). The collective implosion of these membranes created our three-dimensions and caused the Big Bang of vibrating energy that composes our Universe.
The merging of these membranes formed the basis and background “energy fabric” of our reality. Some scientists even suggest that this fabric may be conscious, or that the fabric of our Universe is actually consciousness itself, as consciousness is the only “unified field” that can accommodate the properties and behavior of energy at both non-physical and physical levels. All information and potential, i.e., energy, is born from this all encompassing, ever-present consciousness! Sound familiar?
From consciousness to energy…
Consciousness, the non-physical origin of all, or pure potential, becomes physical energy by embedding vibrational information in wave-forms that collapse into particles when they enter our three-dimensional Universe. (A biological parallel would be to think of vibrational information as Reality DNA.) These particles arrange themselves to become stars, planets, plants, animals, opportunities, and people according to the information embedded in their wave-forms. All energy, and therefore all matter, is consciousness being realized.
You are an individuated consciousness who, as a part of God, has self awareness and free will. Your thoughts are vibrations that affect the fabric of the Universe and cause wave-form potentials to become reality. Your ‘dominion’ over this process is orchestrated by the Law of Attraction.
If your eyes are glazing over you can skip this part, but if you want to dig a little deeper it’s pretty cool…
All potential for the expression of God Consciousness, the origin of all experience, exists outside of our time-space reality (physicality).
Every possible thought, action, result, relationship, interaction, and outcome—infinitely compounded—exists in God Consciousness as a hyper-dimensional construct until the attention of an individuated consciousness (such as a human) focuses on an outcome and expects it to occur. If his expectation is sufficient and not neutralized by contradictory vibrations (beliefs or thoughts), his focus causes the construct to expand until it enters our physical world and becomes energy. That energy is attracted to the energy of the consciousness who focused on it, and it appears as the expected outcome. Law of Attraction 101!
Every thought and action fulfills the potential for a specific expression of consciousness. As consciousness is infinite, every fulfillment of potential creates an infinite number of new possible universes in which different decisions and actions may take place to fulfill the newly created potential.
It is mind boggling to think that everything we think and do creates an infinite number of alternate universes where we make other decisions and take different actions. But when I consider that God Consciousness is unlimited by its nature, I find it reassuring to know that I AM so much more than this singular mind in this singular body!
How This Applies to You
What you want already exists as potential in God Consciousness, where all things are possible. To attract it into your reality, focus on it and expect it to appear. You don’t have to earn it, be worthy of it, or sacrifice anything for it, because you are “it” in essence, you are connected to it by virtue of who you are.
Let your heart’s desire come to you by not resisting or restricting it with limiting beliefs. If you block it because you don’t believe you are good enough to have it, then you are not remembering who you really are. If you block it because you don’t think there is enough of it to go around, then you are not remembering who you are and who everyone else really is. If you block it because you think there is only one way to get there, one specific person for you, or one solution to your situation, then your control issues are keeping you from remembering the unlimited resources that are your birthright.
If you’ve stuck with me this far you have a better idea of how the Law of Attraction works. Consciously using it to create a better reality is what this website is all about. Take on the Practices that appeal to you and go easy until your life begins unfolding according to your own vision. Relax into the process. Success comes from who you are, for what you do flows from there.
Trust in God and thus in yourself and take your steps in faith. Despite the way conditions may seem, focus on what you want and give thanks for receiving what you’ve asked for, especially before you have it. If you are worrying about the way things are now rather than eagerly anticipating the way things are going to be, you are doubting who you are and resisting the very things you deserve to have including health, abundance, peace of mind, and loving relationships.
Remember, your role is to desire and trust. It’s up to God Consciousness, from which you spring, to turn potential into reality for you, if you allow it! If everything was perfect now, you would soon be bored, uninspired, and have nothing left to do!
When you remember who you are, you are compelled to make feeling good about yourself you number-one priority. You naturally keep your eye on the goal and let the Law of Attraction work out the details along the way. When your mind and heart are open you don’t limit your options or create resistance. Good stuff flows to you, through you, and as you!
There is no need to panic or fret about anything. There is no virtue in worrying and no benefit in denying yourself. In fact, it will keep you from attracting what you want!
Of all the Practices, this is the most powerful and it requires the highest act of courage because whatever is going on in your life, it requires you to turn away from fear and toward the magnificence of who you really are. It’s also the most effective form of prayer because…
YOU ARE GOD.
