Welcome. You are about to embark on a journey toward greater self esteem, self confidence, abundance, and peace.
The most important relationship in our lives is the one we have with ourselves. We spend all of our waking moments in the presence of our mind, which produces an endless stream of thoughts and emotions. These thoughts and emotions develop momentum over time, and this momentum comes to form the prevailing beliefs and attitudes that determine the quality and happiness of our earthly existence.
Perhaps the greatest illusion plaguing humanity is that the events that occur cause us to experience particular thoughts or emotions. In truth, events just occur. They are neutral. They possess no intent. They can be characterized as good or bad, but they are neither good nor bad. They merely are. Events, objects, individuals, ideas, colors, shapes, sounds, and sensations all dance before our consciousness.
From an early age, our minds interpret, evaluate, and judge all elements of our existence. What we have come to believe as the reality of events, people, and things are not in fact their true nature. The true nature of things is hidden behind our beliefs about them. For most of us, there is no experience except those that are filtered and interpreted by the mind. And in the process of pondering, evaluating, and judging all things, our minds produce equal, resonating characterizations about ourselves. These are the judgments, emotions, and even physical and biochemical responses that form the substance of our existence. The truth about human existence is that it is overwhelmingly experienced only in the mind.
Therefore, it is most accurate to say that our thoughts determine our existence. The act of observation is by its nature an act of creation, and the energy with which we characterize the objects, events, and people around us is the energy with which we experience them. Imbue the quality of love and acceptance in those objects, circumstances, and people, and you will observe an abundance of love, joy, and acceptance. Likewise, if you regard the conditions and relationships in your life with unease, mistrust, and fear, you will observe all things to be dangerous and adversarial.
This is far from esoteric philosophy. It is the very nature of matter at the quantum level. Physicists influence the actual physical state of the tiniest particles known to man by the mere act of observing them. In fact, observation conjures conditions from the field of infinite potential into a defined state of being. Before observation, energy exists in an undefined state of pure potential. But our observation itself plays a vital role in determining the nature of that which we observe on the tiniest of levels. And the same is true on the macro level of our lives. Taking charge of our observational expectations is the key to self-esteem, success, joy, and peace.
Things are as we decide to observe them.
We create as we observe.
And we observe ourselves continually. We regard our physical form, our mental capacity, our emotional tendencies, and our daily habits from the closest of vantage points. We form patterns of thinking about ourselves. These patterns of self-regard influence the choices we make. Our choices determine the conditions of our lives with exacting precision. Our choices exert tremendous influence over even those events and circumstances which we might normally consider well beyond our control. In this way, our life situation is inextricably linked to our mind activity.
Our thought habits create our lives in an even more immediate sense. The link between thought and emotion is instantaneous, visceral, and ancient. We are often made aware of fearful thinking only by the constriction and discomfort in our solar plexus. We experience anxious attitudes in our furrowed brow, clenched jaw, tense shoulders, and tightened joints. Every cell in our bodies becomes bathed in the hormonal and chemical residue of the quality of our thinking. In this way, we create health or disease, fitness or illness, relaxation or pain, merely through the energy of thought.
Because we create our existence thought by thought, moment by moment, and choice by choice, the door to greater confidence, self love, self esteem, material success, and lasting peace opens inward. There is nothing out there, out in the material world that we choose to believe as reality, that can create happiness and peace within. Yet, miraculously, choosing inner happiness and peace changes the very nature of our observed world, all the way down to the most minute experience and observation. [ends at 185]
In addition to instantly improving the quality of your life in each moment, the creative act of choosing love, joy, peace, and acceptance is also the most powerful way to change those circumstances in our lives that we desire to change. If we desire deeper fulfillment in our relationships, greater financial and material abundance, improved physical fitness, and freedom from illness and anxiety, the fastest way to achieve them is to choose joy in this moment, precisely as it appears to you now.**
Whether you’re well established on your path of peace and fulfillment, or just embarking on your journey inward to discover your inherent light, this meditation will help create the mental and spiritual conditions to manifest peace, success, love, and abundance in your life. You will emerge from your first meditation experience with a sense of peace and stillness, and you will see ever greater goodness and light inherent in every aspect of your being with each subsequent meditation.
[can hear my breathe]
This meditation will help you to observe and marvel at your true self, which is the perfect manifestation of pure, divine love. As you come to know the light and love of which you are constructed, and as you grow to understand that you are the miraculous personification of infinite divine intelligence, your new perspective will change every moment of your existence. You will begin to create a life of lasting peace, satisfaction, and abundance.**In order to prepare your conscious and subconscious mind to receive the maximum benefit of this meditation, you will first relax deeply. You should never use this meditation while driving. Find a quiet, comfortable place, dim the lights, remove any distractions, and lie or sit in a comfortable, relaxed position. If you fall asleep, your subconscious mind will still receive the maximum benefit of this meditation. If you remain awake, you will emerge from this meditation refreshed, relaxed, and with a calm, joyful, peaceful spirit.
Your meditation begins now.
