New Definitions

To make this particular blog a bit more fun I've included several magic eye pictures. They actually pertain to this blog in that if we shift our focus and relax it we can all see the 3-D image pop out at us. They all work, because I've seen the images myself. Try them out and watch your perception create.

What follows is an alphabetical list of terms and their meanings that you will encounter throughout these blogs

Acceptance: Non-judgment of self, of others and of belief systems. Acceptance is not fatalism and is not an act of not caring. One continues to hold opinions and preferences that prod action, but right or wrong should not matter. Acceptance says, ‘It Matters Not’.

Anger: An expression of emotion signalling in the moment that we see no other choice. Negative judgment perpetuates it. Frustration is an aspect of anger. It is an objective (outer) expression of a lack of acceptance.

Attention: Attention is what I am doing, not necessarily what I am thinking. Attention is action and can be multi-tasked. Our attention is the belief that is being expressed outwardly in the moment. Attention should always be directed to self.

Automatic Responses: A response generated by a lack of acceptance of a belief or belief system. It comes about through not recognising and examining the belief systems or individual beliefs that influence an emotion. Its action is often without thought.

Belief System: We live in a belief-generated reality. Everything that we experience is created by the projection of our perception, which is influenced by myriad beliefs. We will not get rid of beliefs. The key to conscious creation is the acceptance of them, which in turn widens awareness and choice.

Blame: Rejects both self and other (another person or thing), for blame says neither is creating perfectly. No one is the cause of another’s emotion or distress. It is an identification of right or wrong, and therefore an aspect of the belief system of duplicity.

Choice: Choice is not dependent upon the choices or preferences of others. Choice is what we do, and is similar to attention. It is not based on thought. All choice requires acceptance, for our choices are neither good nor bad.

Communications: All experience is a communication to self. Communications include emotions, inner and outer senses, impressions, impulses, body function, dreams, interaction with others.

Comparison: Each one of us is a unique and perfect expression. If comparison includes judgment it is non-acceptance of self and other.

Compassion: Understanding without judgment. It is acceptance through understanding that individuals create perfectly within their intent and value fulfilment. Understanding without judgment facilitates the expression of love.

Concentration: Concentration is the expression of one’s beliefs, since all action is a function of belief systems. It is where our attention is directed and in this sense is similar to attention. What I choose (do) tells me what I am concentrating on. Concentration is not based on thought.

Conflict: Occurs when attention is in the past or the future and/or not on self. It is created by a lack of acceptance of self and the self’s creations. The conflict is not the relationship I have with another, it is the relationship I have with myself.

Control: Control is an illusion. Consciousness, once set in motion, must have free flow. Attempts at control blocks the free flow of energy and therefore blocks what we desire to manifest. Control goes against trust and is therefore linked with worry.

Creating: We create through the projection of our perception. We do not create the individual we interact with as a focus of essence, but we do configure the energy of that focus into the physical individual we see before us. What we do not pay attention to subjectively we will create objectively as a communication. We create many objective expressions to communicate the same message. Our creations are a reflection of our inner subjective states and arise simultaneously with those states.

Death: Death, like birth, is a transition to another state of consciousness.

Defensiveness: Perceiving another’s expression as an assault, thus indicating lack of acceptance of self. Defensiveness attaches itself to fear, which is a lack of trust. Defensiveness often disguises itself as opposition.

Desires: Are always aligned with our intent and are directed by the subjective self. Wants and desires are only the same when thought correctly interprets our communications to self.

Destiny: There is no destiny. There is only an infinite realm of probabilities, which are created in each moment. Some probabilities are near to certainty in terms of being inserted by the individual into his or her reality.

Duplicity: A major belief system of good/bad; right/wrong. Every action we create involves this belief system. Both good and bad are judgments. Fear is a big factor in duplicity, and secrets are created because of the belief system of duplicity. It is the most difficult belief system to accept.

Emotion: Emotion is one of two base elements of this reality and is created by belief systems. It is a communication of what we are not paying attention to. What we call the feeling (sad, happy, angry, etc.) is the signal that a communication is present. The signal is not the emotion. It merely tells us we are receiving an emotion. The emotion is a communication and not a reaction. It is not the effect of a cause.

Focus: An individual spotlight of attention created by essence (the whole self). It is the individual life we experience as us.

Forgiveness: Forgiveness discounts the other individual in the sense that he/she did something wrong. It also says we were wronged by another. No ‘other’ may create our reality for us. Forgiveness is strongly tied to the idea of ‘victim.’ It has been camouflaged into a ‘good’ thing by our religious beliefs.

Gratitude: Gratitude toward self is merely a recognition of appreciation of what is created. When offered to another the expression is camouflaged as humility and appreciation, which in actuality is a discounting of self. It says, “You did this for me. I did not do it myself.”

Guilt: Lack of acceptance of self and other and a strong expression of duplicity. It removes us from the present and throws us into the past. It is an emotional communication.

Influence: We can only influence another by total acceptance of ourselves and acceptance of the one we are trying to influence. Their choices are their choices and are made for their reasons. We may not understand them, but they are in alignment with the individual’s intent and value fulfilment.

Intent: A theme chosen before entering a particular focus. All individual experience is in alignment with our individual intent. Look to themes that run through the entirety of one’s life to determine intent.

Intuition: An aspect of consciousness that communicates to self.

Judgment: Always indicates a lack of acceptance of self. In placing no judgment it becomes no longer necessary to experience that which is judged.

Love: Love is knowing and appreciation. It is knowing that within essence there is only love, and appreciation for the life each focus has taken on to move within their individual intent.

Now: Eternity. Past and future do not matter. All answers to challenges and conflicts can only be found in the present.

Patience: The allowance of the natural flow of energy, which is consciousness. It is based on a trust in the Self’s ability to create its desires. It is an active participation in time for the insertion of a probability. Patience is not the same as waiting, for waiting involves expectation and therefore lack of trust.

Perception: Projects physical reality. It is not a receiver of reality. It is heavily influenced by individual beliefs.

Projection: An outer mirroring of what we express inwardly. It arises simultaneously with the inner expression. Projection works both ways. I configure your energy through the projection of my perception and you configure my energy through the projection of your perception.

Probable Selves: Each focus splits into a probable self at every significant decision point. The probable self lives out the choice not taken, which is just as real as the focus that generated it. The probable self can create its own probable selves. The probable self experiences the exact life of the focus until the split, where it branches off to its own reality.

Purpose: Purpose is a line of probabilities that we create as we enter physical focus that aligns with our intent. Every choice we make is in alignment with our intent and value fulfilment. There are no mistakes. This dimension was designed to experience sexuality and emotion (see definitions of both).

Relationships: Are communications to self and are heavily influenced by beliefs. The relationship is not the conflict. The relationship you have with yourself is the conflict.

Responsibility: Our only responsibility is to ourselves. When we express responsibility for another we no longer express responsibility for ourselves. We do not create anyone else’s reality. When we hold responsibility for another we are saying that the other is not responsible for him or her self.

Selfishness: Look to self first and offer yourself all of the elements you would offer another. Only then can you truly love another. It is not the same as our definition of egocentrism for it includes the new definitions of love and compassion.

Separation: The belief that you and I are separate. Separation is created by the lack of acceptance of differences and the root assumptions of time and space.

Sexuality: Is not what we currently think it is. Sexuality is a perceptual orientation and is a building block of this reality. It consists of three orientations; common, soft and intermediate. As a perceptual filter it creates all our outer manifestations.

Thought: Thought interprets communications to self. It is influenced by beliefs and it influences perception. Thought does not deliver the communication; it interprets communications. Thought is not a base element of this reality. It is a translator of communications; it is not concentration.

Time: An aspect of this particular adventure in consciousness. It was created by us to allow an appreciation of each moment. We distort time by trying to fill each moment.

Tolerance: A temporary and conditional expression. It includes expectation and anticipation, and therefore is non-inclusive. It expects change and is an expression of non-acceptance.

Trust: Trust is the expression that it matters not how our desires are accomplished, but that they shall be accomplished.

Value Fulfilment: Value is the recognition of self. It is not a thing that we aspire to. Value is intrinsic to self and is an expression of worth. Value fulfilment, therefore, is associated with our intent in coming into this world and the recognition that we are already our highest expression.

Wants: Are determined by thought. If thought is not interpreting correctly our wants are incorrectly identified.
