CHAPTER 5: UNCONDITIONAL LOVE
                                                                  Print Version

                                 “When you really love yourself, you can then love all else, and these two conditions
                                  will allow a creator being to create. It is the most beautiful thing on Earth... As you
                                  hold an itention, something miraculously moves”.
                                                                                                  Ken Page: Remembrance of the Solar Heart
                                                                                                 March, 1996.  San Diego, California. (50)

The fourth step towards Creating From the Future with Inter-Dimensional Technologies is to Intentionally manifest and express Unconditional Love, Abundance and Gratitude in our hearts. To ascend above the 3rd dimension, we need to master our emotions and our wills__ and to overcome duality, which is  viewing things as "good" or "bad", or taking sides with issues,.

Tell Daddy You Love Him
I fly to Minnesota. Dad is in the hospital after surgery and not expected to live. For awhile he seems better, then he sinks into withdrawal. Mom and I are at his bedside. She glances at me curiously now and then and finally says, “Marilyn, can’t you tell Daddy you love him?” 

I’m shocked. Do they think I don’t? Aren’t I here with them now, having cancelled this week’s workshop and flown 1700 miles? But at the same time, I feel something well up from deep within, and soon I’m trembling with rage. Where is this coming from; why am I feeling this fury? Then I know: I’m over forty years old, but I can’t recall a single instance when another human being actually stated aloud that they loved me. Incredible. Impossible. Yet it’s true. Our parents treated us lovingly, but they never said it aloud.

During the Depression and WWII, people did not impose their feelings or pain on each other. Our family was talented, intelligent and kind, but emotionally undemonstrative. Hal grew up in the same era. We frequently discussed marriage but never actually used the words “I love you”.  Now, here I stand, being asked to tell my parents I love them, when I myself have been inwardly screaming for forty years for someone to “please, say you love me”.

Tears fill my eyes, as I realize that I never said it to my now grown children either. Oh, I praised and encouraged them, hugged and kissed them, sang lullabies to them, read to them and told stories about love, and tenderly cared for them as best I could, but I never said those words: “I love you!”  I can’t believe it!  Why haven’t I seen this before?

I want to immediately rush to the phone and call Hal and the children to tell them how much I do love them. But instead, I swallow my rage, blink the tears away, take Dad’s hand in mine, put an arm around his shoulders__ avoiding all the tubes and wires__ and say, “Of course I love you, Dad.”  He looks at me strangely. I’m not sure he hears. Then I understand that he, too, must be realizing how our family failed to communicate its feelings. Dad closes his eyes, sighs, and soon quietly slips away as if he, too, has been waiting for those words __"I love you”__ to release him from this world.

I stay with Mom for several weeks, telling her often that I love her, and I tell Hal and our now-grown children over the phone. It seems outrageous that we could all have been so close-mouthed about our feelings for each other. My relationship with Mom changes. After I return to Idaho, we call each other weekly, always expressing our love. A new responsibility creeps into my life. It seems that I’ve now become the parent, and she the child. I try to understand what’s going on inside my heart.

Intentionally manifesting and expressing Unconditional Love, joy, gratitude and abundance in our hearts triggers the Law of Attraction: By evoking loving feelings, observing attitudes and feelings, then harmonizing them, we attract love & abundance back to us.

A major lesson on Earth is to
Manage our Minds and Feelings. We do this to ascend into the New Reality along with Earth. Normally, our minds wander all over the place. We seldom focus on what we are doing in each moment, usually thinking about something that happened in the past, or about what might transpire in the future. While fixing my hair in the morning, I may instead, be wondering what to fix for lunch, or recalling what a friend told me on the ephone yesterday.

Keeping our mind on what we are doing in each moment is what Buddhist's call, "Mindfulness". We also know it as staying 'In the Moment" or "In the NOW". When we understand that whatever we think or feel will manifest in our environment or our bodies, we will understand the importance of Mental and Emotional Control.

We need to be able to
create Love in our hearts at will if we intend to reach the next dimensional existence. We came here to take part in a vast experiment having to do with Unity Consciousness and Unconditional Love. And it starts with loving ourselves. We fill ourselves with love first, for we cannot pour out from an empty bucket. Loving self allows us the greatest honor and dignity to be. Love self first __then love all else.

Each of us has a real need to receive and bestow affection and nurturing. Some of us ignore Love, thinking only poets, artists or deeply spiritual persons need it__ or can make sense of it. Creator's Divine Love__ Unconditional Love__ must be “felt” in the heart rather than simply "thought" in the mind.
To feel love, recall a moment or period in life when you were happiest, when you most enjoyed being alive. Was it when you were reunited with a lover? When a child was born or you landed a good job? Maybe it was an exciting vacation, a wonderful gift received, your favorite spot in nature, a person or animal companion you loved or the achievement of a longed-for goal.

Close your eyes and try to
feel what was in your heart at that moment. Rather than "thinking" happiness, “feel” it.  Remember this feeling. Practice calling it up until you can do so at a moment's notice. Use Mind and Heart to evoke happiness within yourself any time you choose rather than depending upon some exterior event, person or thing. No one can make you happy or unhappy unless you yourself choose to be so.

Deliberately triggering feelings of Love moves the creative drive to the heart, the midpoint between lower, personal creative energies and Higher Creative Energies.
We must go through the heart; we can reach the Physical through Mind, but only Heart__ Emotion__ links us directly with Spirit. The higher energy centers of the body serve as inspirational portals to expanded levels of creativity.
(
Figure 2.)  Feeling Love throughout an Eenergetic Intention is the most important factor in healing or manifesting.

It is not selfish to put ourselves first. Whenever we’re making life choices that keep us less than happy, it may be because we don’t value ourselves, we are getting something out of playing the “victim-rescuer” game, or we don't know Who We Really Are. We settle for less. We settle for less because we’re afraid that if we don't, we’ll end up with nothing. We believe everything in life has a price__ that Creator wants us to give up something in return for something else. Is that Unconditional Love?

Because we fear we’re unlovable, we follow a path limited to physical activity and intellect__ working harder, longer, smarter__ distracting ourselves from that unspoken fear. Life does not become simpler or easier as we seek only achievement upon achievement; life becomes more and more complicated because decisions sprout ever more frequently, demanding ever more difficult resolutions. We feel like a juggler with too many hoops. We find ourselves hurling hateful thoughts, crying dry-eyed, silently wallowing in the numbing tangle of superficial, clock-dictated rituals, never pausing to consider what else in life might lie behind it all. Some try to escape from the insanity by moving away, only to discover that settling in a far-away city does not stop the challenges of life. Within about two years, people find themselves right back in the same circumstances they thought they had escaped.

We’ve been taught that "God is Love"__ Unconditional Love__ and nothing can destroy Creator's Love for each of us and for humanity. Then who are we to decide we are unlovable? We don't need to "earn" Creator's Love, or earn “points” towards health, happiness or abundance. We were born with that right and it never leaves us, unless we choose to forego it. If Creator is Unconditional Love, and we are a fractal of Creator, then we are Unconditional Love, too.
Creator's Divine Love is the greatest and most powerful force in the Universe__ the Primary Creative Force.

Unconditional Love frees the person we love to be what they want to be, go where they wish, do what they like, just as they choose. We continue loving them long after they’ve left us, accidentally, or by choice. We put no strings on one who is loved unconditionally; make no rules about our relationship with them other than those we place on ourselves. We don’t even have to be in each other's physical presence in order to continue loving unconditionally.

Creator wants us to be happy.
Creator IS Love, and Unconditional Love could never conceive of anyone as a "sinner", would never consider creating a "hell". If we find ourselves in any sort of hell, it is our own state of consciousness__ and of our own making. We can rise above our trauma-dramas, rise above the trials, sorrows and struggles of the world and see them for what they really are:  lessons to be learned, stemming from fear and ignorance. Our feelings are our teachers. Once we learn to balance those feelings, to get out of Fear and into Love, the needed support arrives as if by magic.
                                                                     

                                                                                 Emotional IQ
Emotion fuels our visualized creation into reality, be it a home, a symphony, a business or a healthy mind and body. To Be Human then, means to feel emotion fully and deeply. Bookstores, libraries, magazines and the internet team with self-help books and articles about emotional skills. Higher Self can direct you at the bookstore or library. Move into the Zone/Dreamtime and let your left hand glide across the books on the shelves, not quite touching each book. Your hand will feel a definite tingle as you near what you need.

Emotions, Thoughts and Intentions are Creative Energies. Intentionally intensifying emotions during difficult encounters turns on a transmutation process: a shifting of energy from one level to another. Emotional Intensity breaks us through to completely new types of creative possibilities. Deliberately feeling anger, pain, disgust or fear to the fullest, identifies its origins. We can then change our perception by asking Higher Self: “What is Love trying to show me here?” or, “What would Love do now?” Acting lovingly on the answer received creates new views of reality. Emotional sensitivity becomes an asset, not a liability, and we develop emotional maturity. We take responsibility for our emotional experiences__ we become responsible for our own wounds, not blaming someone else.

Basic Inner Technologies prepare us to get out of investing in materiality and invest in our inner selves instead. Maybe we feel we don’t deserve abundance or success, that we must "achieve" something before we can be happy. This attitude never ends; whatever we attain never seems to be enough__ we want more and still more, for life shifts, constantly demanding more learning, more adjustment, more achievements. We create our own life circumstances and must give attention to what’s happening in each moment. (See Archives .)

                                  
                 Charging Up with Emotion
To Heal or Manifest with energetic Intentions, we first charge up with Divine Love__ Unconditional Love.  I find soothing music to be a great help, as well as deep breathing exercises, (Chapter 11) and evoking the FEELINGS of Love, Gratitude, Peace, Joy, and Abundance For All within self. The Heart Math people (www.heartmath.com) have a marvelous device that can be used with computers called the emWave PC. It's a game that teaches us to raise our vibrations and relieve stress. There is also a hand-held version.

Humans are dual beings, part animal and part god__ but emotion is not our “animal nature”__ emotion is our “Creator-Spirit Nature”. How we use emotion is what’s important. Mankind needs to release from its sense of duality, to integrate its feminine-intuitive nature with its masculine, logical nature and evoke a Unity Consciousness: perceiving All Life Everywhere as "Another Ourself".

Just as sound, light and shape determine the manner in which our artwork expresses, the emotions and atttudes we hold about ourselves__ the way we perceive ourselves and the world around us__ determine the circumstances in which we exist. Attempts to manipulate our environment through will power usually bring only more conflict. Attitudes of Love, Abundance, Joy and Gratitude evoked through our powerful imaginations, can create win-win situations for all concerned.

Occasonally we produce grief, pain or emotional crises. But while locked in competitive battles, seeking only the upper hand,we have no freedom to create or follow our own agendas. The global controllers know and instigate conflict to keep us distracted from evolving our consicousness. In the fullness of time, we won't need the dramas, the crises, anymore; we won't give our energy to those scenarios. We will then have made a decision to
change, and now we know how: by intentionally changing our thoughts and feelings. Many Cultural Creatives deliberately seek situations were they’ll be forced to confront negative feelings, then they intensify them, go within to behold their origins, and transmute them to a Zero Point State. Zero point emotions occur when we find that mid-point between fear and love__ a point without any emotional charge on the issue at hand. In other words, we neither fear nor crave a specific outcome.

From a Zero Point State, we can control both Mind and Emotions and lift consciousness to more Higher Creative levels. Mind is naturally connected with Body, but it is Emotion__ Unconditional Love__ that more quickly and fully aligns with the Creative Force. This is Emotional IQ__Self-Management. To ascend and rise above the 3rd dimension, we not only need to master emotions _but to also overcome duality__ taking sides with conflicts, seeing things as "right" or "wrong"k "good" or "bad". We also need to recognize and let go of outworn religious, educational, judicial, medical and political beliefs that have caused conflict and suffering to the world.

As Earth’s energy fields change, whatever we think and feel strongly will manifest more and more rapidly. As we manage our emotions, we raise our consciousness. When we entered the 9th Wave/Universal Underworld of the Mayan Calendar in March 9, 2011, events began to  occur twenty times faster than they did before. Emotion attracts people and situations similar to what we expect__ either through fear or through love. Feelings deliberately evoked and intensified to a high degree might as well be ecstacy rather than agony.

Our
Subconscious produces the dramas of our lives without our even being aware of it until we behold its hidden motives. Subconscious programs from the past exist on several levels and need to be faced and dealt with many times over. The first step is discrimination when choosing the media we allow into our homes. The subconscious doesn’t know any difference between what is real or what is illusion; it identifies with whatever it views. How often have we wept in front of the TV when Lassie finally came home, held our breath as evil beings invaded Earth, or yelled with anger or encouragement at a Super Bowl game?  That’s emotion in action.

Even more insidious, is what happens when the TV, stereo or radio are on and we are not directly paying attention. The announcer’s or actor’s words, the song’s lyrics, impact us subconsciously.
Hypnosis shows that the alpha state__ the subconscious__ is even more powerful than the beta state mind. Everything that happens, even a fleeting glimpse of 47 fenceposts out the speeding car window, is registered somewhere in the subconscious. And if music is involved, the effect is even more intense, for music has a hypnotic effect, as anyone who’s ever attended a church, classical or rock concert knows. TV, radio and any music lyrics can trigger emotional responses. (53) Emotion will permanently imprint that subconscious event into our energy bodies.

Minds can make anything happen. We try to prove our concepts on the physical level, but we’re in a “Catch 22" situation:  a) we suspect we can change reality with our mind; yet, b) until we behold physical evidence, we won’t fully accept it as real. Since we don’t fully accept a), b) won’t work for us either. When we continue to use physical methods to change life, we negate the a) principle. The common bond for both a) and b) is taking back our power, physically, emotionally, mentally and physically. By managing emotions, we control both thoughts and physical actions and change our lives.

What about that “Let go and let God” thing? Letting go doesn’t mean releasing oneself from responsibility.
It means to be ready to accept freely, whatever Universe presents in place of what we released. Mental control allows self to feel emotions without preconceived ideas of the results. For example: To keep thinking of how to be free of a pain, is to continually focus on the pain itself. How can we negate pain with thought if we’re always focusing on pain? Pain centers attention on self, ego and the physical body, leaving less attention for other matters. The pain, the thinking and worrying burn up energy that could be put to better use. The remedy is to focus on a more positive concept: imagine the body feeling comfortable and well, then visualize it as already comfortable and well feel the joy and express the gratitude of being already pain-free.

All our subtle bodies link through the creative drive. As we develop flexibility and maturity through Unconditional Love, the Creative Force connecting all things attracts to us manifestations of whatever we do, say, think, feel and believe. If we’re angry, we invite conflict. If we’re in harmony, we invite peace.
We must be able to evoke Unconditional Love for self and for All Life Everywhere before we can use the Expanded Inter-Dimensional Technologies to Co-create New Realities.

                                                                  
Relationships
The 3rd, solar plexus chakra, is our relationship center. If our creative drive is stuck or blocked here, it cannot reach the heart chakra, and energy from the heart or higher energy centers cannot download into the solar plexus to be expressed through life.

You are known by the company you keep” is an old adage that still applies. We need to seek the companionship of people we admire and wish to be like, watch the films, the online ites and programs, and read the books that uplift us. It’s easier to be detached and blissful in the presence of an authentic spiritual adept or a truly loving group__ and easier to practice Inner Technologies. In fact, a like-minded group is required for Expanded Inner Technologies. If those persons or groups inspire and nurture us to grow in consciousness, then by all means, continue the relationship. But if we or they are only in it for sensation, for control or material gain, then we might do better by ourselves or with individuals truly striving toward greater unity, peace and love.

We attract people into our relationship patterns whose beingness is similar to our own. These persons act as mirrors enabling us to behold
1.) a reflection of ourselves, 2.) an opposition to who we are, that we may see the difference, 3.) what we judge in self or in others, 4.) what we fear most, or 5.) Who We Are Becoming. “When the student is ready, the teacher appears” is another ancient saying. There are few traditional “gurus” around now, so our “teacher” may arrive in unexpected forms and places: an internet website, a lawsuit, even a new baby in the family. I did meet a traditional guru in 1989, complete with long robes, crystal-topped staff and a group of Asian disciples. But he didn’t show up at my door, nor did I visit a monastery in Asia. In fact, true to modern lifestyles, we met in a bus terminal at Little America, Wyoming. It was Sri Yukteswar from India, author of The Electricities and The Holy Science__ he and his troop of young Asian disciples on his way to the Men’s Room, and I just leaving the Ladies’. I had with me, a newly purchased copy of Yogananda's "Autobiography of a Yogi", but had not yet read it. Turned out, Sri Yiketeswar's photo was  in the back of it__ he was Yogananda's guru. Yogananda brought Kriya Yoga to America.

As we evolve our consciousness, old friends, neighbors, co-workers, even some family members, gradually fade away. When we grow in awareness, our vibrations change, attracting new people, new environments and adventures. Let old friends and family members go with love and wish them the best in their new lives. Trust that Spirit is leading us and them into new ways promising more personal fulfillment and growth than anything left behind. Contrary to old consciousness ways, 21st century relationships are no longer formed to complement  a perceived lack in self. We already have the only partnership we truly need__ that with Higher Self-Spirit.

A major issue seems to be knowing when to continue a relationship or not. Ask self: "
What is this relationship's purpose; what is it evolving towards?", for we will consciously or unconsciously follow those directions. Relationships which seem to be going nowhere after a reasonable period of time will probably dissolve out of mutual consent. Often, relationships end when one or both partners can no longer evolve their consciousness through the relationship. If there are frequent difficulties with relationships or with work, read Chapters 8 and 11 of Conversations With God, Book 1. by Neale Donald Walsch. (54)

Creative people manage physical and emotional needs first, preventing Body and Feelings from calling all the shots in life. If we really love ourself, we will take good care of Body, for it has to carry out our actions. Then, if we have time and energy to spare, we can do more for family. And, if and when more time and energy allow, we move to extended family, neighbors, community, state, regional or national matters. Some of us may go on to international or even extraterrestrial service. It depends upon our chosen path and function. Serving one individual well is as valid as serving millions. We are each in the place where we need to be in this moment.

Many of us have been confused about what we call "
service” to others. We think we must "take care" of others, even at our own loss. It makes us feel useful, needed and important. Better to teach others how to care for themselves. If everyone learned to take care of self first, no one would ever need outside help. Our higher nature knows self and others are already whole on inner levels, therefore any assistance required can be guided by the individual’s own Higher Self., once they learn to contact It.

There are times, however, when we compassionately perceive a true need for assistance.
Consider first whether that person or group really wants or needs our help. Some people cling to their miseries because it brings the attention they think they need to feel valid, or because their disabilities prevent them from taking on dreaded responsibilities. The first consideration for helping people is, did they request the help? The second is, are we capable of giving that help without harming ourselves or others? The third is, could they do it for themselves? If either of the first two answers is "no", or the third is "yes", then we are desiring to give based on a hidden motive. It’s better to teach others how to make fire than to keep warming them every day.

                                                                  
Abundance
Abundance is more than a sense of being fulfilled at a physical, material level. There are emotional, mental and spiritual abundances to be considered. Spirit does work in mysterious ways__ if it is for our highest good to experience something, it will all come about as if some higher intelligence or force within us had planned the entire episode__ it did.

Sometimes doors open, opportunities appear and we rush towards the new vision only to see the doors slam shut and hopes vanish in an instant. We ask, “
Why was this offered, then suddenly snatched away?” If it’s not going to work out, not in accord with Higher Self's mission, not in accord with the subconscious, or not an appropriate time to get involved, the vision flounders. Perhaps we have only been shown something about the true nature of our mission; there’s something more we need to know or do before we can manifest it.

The four highest predictors for dealing with stress are: *
being able to say no to favors, *staying in touch with and expressing anger constructively, *reaching out to others and asking for help when truly needed and *saying no to requests from others without feeling guilty or ashamed of asserting ourselves when we must tend to our own needs. (55)

We must take back our power from the beliefs we have given it to:  the idea that we are not deserving, the idea that we are incapable of coping with difficulties that come our way, even the idea that being “spiritually evolved” means we are “special” in ways others are not __and therefore__ either we don’t have to take on the same responsibilities that others do__ or we "must" take on even more or greater responsibilities than others. Until we humans are fully shifted into Earth’s New Reality, we must continue to hold useful jobs, follow health hygiene, serve self and family, take charge of home and finances, and prepare for emergencies and retirement. Strangely enough, it seems that if we don't fully tend to the needs of self, we also have trouble serving our family, neighborhood or community groups as well.

If we keep having the thought, “I
want material success”, then that is what we’ll get. We’ll have the experience of continually wanting material success. Feel the bliss of having success already present in our lives. Then thank Creator as if it has already been received. Finally, just relax, follow daily routines, holding the intended vision, thoughts and feelings in the back of the mind and watch for opportunities to do what's possible to make them come true. (54)  The purpose for the dramatic Earth changes now is to bring us to the understanding that we are spiritual energy-beings, not just physical bodies. As we bridge with Higher Selves and shift awareness, we gradually lose the over-emphasis on materiality, the related competitions, and even the need to attract money and spend it. This is what we leave behind__ we no longer need it.

                                                                
Love’s Labor
Basic Inner Technologies link us with inner sources inspiring us to reach a higher consciousness. First we bonded with Mother Earth and Nature, then we connected with Higher Self and Spirit through Meditation or Dreamwork. Now we are learning to use the energetic creative skills of Emotion, Thought, Attitude and Belief to transform our quality of life.

A friend related how in youth, after completing all her farm chores, she would hurry off to a quiet corner to play her grandmother’s violin. But if her dad came into the house and heard her, she’d be marched off to yet another chore in rhythm to words like “wasting time” and “useless pleasures”. Just because it’s the work we most enjoy, it doesn’t mean it’s easy or useless. Like the painters who found "art is in the doing" rather than in the completed product, choosing to spend time doing what we enjoy most is not a selfish pursuit. It’s a hallowed act of what may very well become an inspiration or  a specialized service to family, friends, community and possibly, to all humanity. And, since we are all connected on invisible levels, our joy and passion uplift others and move us closer to a global Unity Consciousness.

To be
original, means to express strictly according to our inherent beingness. Originality in creative activities is about unrestrained explorations of personally unique ideas and skills. Whenever we’re joyful in our tasks, trusting universe to provide us with abundance at every level of living, we’ll do our best work, and we’ll perform some valued function in the world__ perhaps one for which no one else is so well qualified. (56) And that joy and trust radiates out from us to positively affect others in our sphere of contact.

My hubby, Hal, an athlete, scoutmaster, Little League coach and dedicated father and husband, was employed with a national railroad. His frequent, month-long absences from home demanded increased self-sufficiency from both of us. When our three children entered middle school, I took jobs outside of home to help finance their college educations. I sized sausage casings in a factory, managed a collection agency and served as an assistant librarian while establishing myself as a full-time professional painter.

We’re moving away from the old “
work ethic” notion. Today's teenagers and Cultural Creative adults sense the futility of always wanting to earn more, achieve more, beat the other guy out of a place at the trough, die with more toys, or measure success by the size of the hoard we've collected. If the attainment of material luxuries is our primary concern in life, we will never be happy, for there is always "more to get". Several adult men I know were recently offered positions at work providing more money, power or benefits. But they declined, because those perks also meant longer working hours, heavier responsibilities, more energy spent working and less time at home. They declined out of the loving knowledge that at that particular time, their wives and young children needed their presence more than the extra money or prestige

If we don’t love our work, we’ll seldom go beyond what everyone else in our field already does because we won’t have the incentive to keep striving when the mud deepens in those unexplored realms. Work in the new consciousness reality will be done because we love doing it and it serves others__ not for money, fame or material possessions.
(56)

Most of us thought we “should” spend our lives doing the kind of work everybody says we’re “supposed" to do. Spirit doesn’t care
what work we do for a living, but Spirit does care about how we do it. We’re not seeking the condition of doing”__ we’re seeking the condition of “being”. We haven’t come to Earth to produce anything. We’re here to learn how to be. The surprise of beingness is that when we achieve and maintain that attitude over time, it becomes very hard not to achieve success in the material world.

And even if we came into life with talents to make music, teach, cook, write, heal, build spaceships or service cars, no one is born knowing it all. Everyone has to spend time, money and effort to develop his gift. Any truly serious artist will tell you they’ve worked longer and harder at their creative works than at any other type of job. Even the physical labor involved to mat, cut glass, and frame, label, make packing cases, pack, transport, unpack and hang forty paintings for a one-man show can be tremendous. Potential customers would look at one of my works, note the price tag, then ask, “
How long did it take you to paint this?” I learned to answer with:  “Oh, about four hours and forty years of practice.” 

Creative People who work at doing what they love never give up
. They look life in the face and dare it to keep them from following their bliss. Pursuing our personal passion without harming Earth, self or others, we begin to feel fully alive. We experience the rapture of just being, rather than forever examining the past to find meaning for the future. We choose to use Mind and Heart to feel happy and fulfilled__ not next week, next year or ten years from now__ but right now, this very moment and in every moment.  
  
Since we are each one particle of All That Is, whatever we do for others, we do for self as well. And whatever we do for ourselves, we also do for others. Into even the best of times, come moments of confusion and concern until we learn to balance work with play. Eventually, that balance becomes so finely tuned, we know no difference. At this point, we rid ourselves of the extremes and the dualities. We view what was formerly “work” or “play’ as simply__ “Loving”

Once “you learned to be a warrior__ to confront, to battle, to conquer and dominate" ....(now)... "learn to be an adventurer." Enlightenment begins when we discover we can trust ourselves and the divine power within.
Let go of the limiting belief that tells us Who We Should Be, that anything worthwhile must be difficult and complicated, or that we’re not good enough, smart enough, holy enough, or highly evolved enough to deserve the quality of life we desire." (55)

                                                                 
Social Engineering
Socially creative people are everywhere. They lead full lives, find nourishment in community and value their connection with humanity, Earth and Universe. They use creativity in all areas of life. Their interest in discovering and learning gives them great curiosity about how things fit together, how life works. From Inspirational sources, they perceive new ways to use the information and skills they already have. Their strong urge to share creates something new and unusual to finely balance the fantastic with the pragmatic.

The children of Earth will initiate Unity Consciousness here. Also termed “Christ Consciousness”, this evolved awareness will not be set up by governments, religions or the “New World Order”. It will come from the grass roots, the masses. It starts here and there across the globe with one or two people at a time, then with small groups, then with larger groups and expands outwardly. (53) Children know from birth what life is really about. An article by Lucy Williams in the Arco Advertiser, September 12, 1996,  gave us this insight: “A few years ago at the Seattle Special Olympics, nine contestants, all physically or mentally”... (challenged)  ..."assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with the relish to run the race to the finish. All, that is, except one little boy who stumbled on the asphalt, tumbled over a couple of times and began to cry. The other eight heard the boy’s cry. They slowed down and paused. Then they all turned around and went back. Every one of them. One girl with Down’s Syndrome, bent over and kissed the little boy and said, “This will make it better”, then all nine linked arms and walked together to the finish line. Everyone in the stadium leaped to their feet. The cheering went on for ten minutes.”

Immersed in this chaotic, old consciousness world, it's hard to find that Zero Point, that perfect emotional center, where we’re neither too anxious to attain our goal, nor afraid to turn aside from an old path that is no longer effective. We can only do it with a Love that has evolved out of compassion and understanding for the true needs of self, others and Earth.

If we investigate spiritual or metaphysical teachings, we read about elaborate rituals and difficult testing periods called “initiations
.” An initiation is not something that happens to us; it is the response we make to what happens that is the true initiation. Initiations help us become aware of how over-identification with a body can leave us open to controllers who enslave people simply by guaranteeing shelter, food, health, sex, security, beauty, wealth, "going to heaven" or “forgiveness of sins”. This kind of servitude led to separative, organized group dogmas with price-tags promoting routes of escape via begging, forced celibacy, elitism, cloistering, or free love and vagabondage.

Creative people can short-cut the natural evolutionary process with mental, emotional and behavioral skills. They create new systems for organizing life that empower others, bringing joy and abundance through self-esteem enhancement. A vision is needed of what is reasonable to achieve. Then, if the work is to be done in stages, they organize a tentative schedule for using data, specialized skills and  knowledge. Intuiting what has real and permanent value every day, they let go of the non-essentials and create a fulfilling and rewarding life even in the midst of utter confusion.

Nothing happens to us that is not of our own choosing and for our highest good. Because we have free will, Spirit will allow us to be or do anything we want. If what we do does not lead to happiness and joy after a reasonable amount of time, then consider if the direction chosen is truly in keeping with our life’s purpose. If it isn't, we take a different approach or try something else altogether, until we’re sure we are following the energetic blueprint we designed for this lifetime.

When socially creative people move to a different environment, they often encounter friction with what is already there. Stop driving for awhile. Walk slowly and see what surrounds you. A surprising ability to see the supreme order in all life, to observe from many points of view, arises.Then balance your actions with those of others. As you go about your daily business, let your heart guide you to new resolutions__ resolutions in which there are__ no losers.


                                                 
DNA and Transmutation of Consciousness
DNA alterations affecting body, mind and emotions result from cosmic energies entering Earth, and from Her own energies, speeding up in preparation for the coming Shift. Emotional clearing will be central to our evolutionary path. We will soon learn, or rather, remember__ almost unbelievable skills and knowledges needed for Earth’s Shift and Her New Reality.

In the early 1990s, scientists decided that our DNA describes What it Means To Be Human. They found a direct link, a measurable factor, indicating that human emotion is electromagnetic in nature and can be measured in wavelengths and frequency vibrations. In 1993, U.S. Army Intelligence and Security placed living cells from inside a donor’s mouth in a device measuring DNA electrically. In the same building, one room held the DNA sample, and in another, the donor was shown videos that evoked strong emotional responses. When the donor had a peak emotional experience, the DNA responded with the same emotion, and without a time lapse. This non-locality, caused both the donor and the DNA to respond at exactly the same instant. The experiment went on to see just how far apart the donor and DNA had to be before it no longer worked. They quit after a separation of 50 miles still gave the same results. (24)

Glen Rein and Roland McCraty of the
Heart-Math Institute, discovered that loving meditators have increased salivary IgA, indicating enhanced immune system functioning. Loving meditators also had the ability to voluntarily affect the winding and unwinding patterns of DNA in a test tube__ whether the DNA was in the room with them or at a distance of half a mile. (25) In other words, Unconditional Love changes our DNA.

Scholars say that mankind’s outer-space technological advancements will alter humanity greatly. Perhaps it is the reverse__ perhaps we must change ourselves drastically before we are able to fully explore outer space. What is going to occur in the next few years is beyond the understanding of most of us.
Be prepared. If we’re having difficulties in our personal lives, whatever it is that we’re using to stop ourselves from growth is popping up in front of our faces right now. We must have the courage and flexibility to change with the times, to let go of old beliefs and behavior patterns and move forward into the future with love in our hearts and trust in Higher Self and Creator.

Listen to your desires, your “wantings". They are about something other than materiality__ understanding and capabilities will follow. Higher Forces are guiding us into realities holding greater joy and abundance than what we’re tossing behind us. What now seems most foreign to us will soon become our most trusted experience.

If you are reading this text you are already aware that humans are on the verge of a leap of consciousness, and some part of you is seeking the courage to go in that direction. Respectfully and sincerely, ask Spirit or Higher Self to give you a signal as to whether these
Basic Inner Technologies are meant for you. Pray, meditate or dream for guidance, then pay careful attention to what occurs around you during the following 2 days. Even a TV commercial or unusual plants or animals appearing in dreams or outside your window can be relevant.

When we physically incarnated on Earth, Higher Self helped us create a plan for what we wished to become in this lifetime. The Superconscious/H.S. opens when our creative drive rises to the heart center, overrides the subconscious and the personality through Love and reveals the blueprint originally crafted for our life. Higher Seld will never deviate from that blueprint, even when we have consciously forgotten what it is. It doesn’t have to be something “grand”. When we find our purpose for being here on Earth at this time, all fear leaves. Joy moves in. Higher Self always leads Us to the right and perfect adventure enabling Us to encounter exactly what We had originally planned to experience. Whether we benefit from the experience or not is up to us. It could be what we had planned, or it could be something else, depending on how we choose to view it. Perhaps your youth was spent learning to be self-sufficient, and now your passion is to teach others to be self-sufficient, too. It matters not whether you show a lectur hall how to structure a billion dollar corporation or show a kid how to make a kite out of newspaper and string. You’re following your passion, your path.

Creator will never, ever, force Its desire on the conscious, physical part of you; Unconditional Love never forces anyone or anything. It is against Love's nature to do so. No, Creator will never force Its will upon Higher Self, either. And Higher Self follows suit and never forces Its will upon your personality. However, Mind very often does seek to exert its will on Body. Similarly, Body seeks often to control behavior and frequently succeeds. Remember the last time you were ill or in pain?

Anything in life that is not in accord with H. S.’s plan for Unconditional Love and Unity Consciousness is going to dissolve. Assist personality to do this by letting go of anything that doesn't serve H. S.’s purpose. We then come to feel whole and to love all our selves. The Maya have a term for this higher emotional state: "In Lak'esh", meaning, "I am another yourself." We call it Unity Consciousness/Oneness. We’re coming to unmistakably know that each of us is one unique thought-form in an all-pervasive, collective Greater Self__ Spirit__ Creator. Ultimately, everything in our lives will either merge with all else in Loving Onneness or dissolve  away.

When all goes well, we feel confident, on top of the world. When it doesn't, we feel we’re being asked to swim in cesspools. We’re learning how consciousness__ thoughts, feelings, attitudes and beliefs__ affect our life circumstances. Have courage. We will not be mucking out the sewers of the world forever. Benefits will come, usually from a totally unrelated quarter, but not often in monetary form. We may reap a revelation, a new friendship, a healing, but only when the sharing occurs through Love and without concern for outcomes.

Higher Self is completely without needs (unlike Body and Mind, which believe they are nothing but needs) and H. S. allows Body and Mind to have their way, for if the spiritual being that is you is to create, and by creating, Know Who You Really Are, it must be through an act of conscious choice, not through blind obedience. We must recover the certainty of our spiritual beingness and learn to operate __successfully and at will __in Unconditional Love, Peace and Oneness.

Higher Self’s mission is to assist us to consciously become One with our Creator. Mind's mission is to imagine__ to envision all possible alternatives for that task. Heart's mission is to lovingly choose from those alternatives, and Body's mission is to act upon those choices. When Body, Mind and Heart create together in accord with H. S.'s mission, then Spirit is made flesh on Earth__ or perhaps: "flesh is made Spirit on Earth."
