The Power of Patience

Movement is so fast throughout the industrial/technological world. Many of the people who dwell within this world are heavily conditioned by the fast paced environments that help to keep this extreme world in motion. Everything must happen immediately, instant gratification, no patience.  When things are not received in rapid time, people get antsy, restless, and agitated. "We want it and we want it NOW!" is the daily mantra that is engraved in the minds of the collective within the industrial/technological habitat. Although individuals have become accustomed to ridiculous and unrealistic expectations, we live on the physical plane, the material world. Just as it takes time for the seasons to change, or for children to blossom into adults, physical manifestations, or creations, take time to cultivate.

During the cultivation process, The Power of Patience is the key to seeing all things through to completion. No matter what    the project may entail, The Power of Patience will help to keep the mind at ease while the actual journey is taking place. Patience has a very simple meaning,  which is to wait without question or concern, because you know that whatever you are focusing on will unfold. Focus and Patience work hand-in-hand when creating or evolving in life. Acknowledging The Power of Patience is having respect for the process. Athletes are very in tune with The Power of Patience, because training to be the best doesn't happen over night. With that being said, is The Power of Patience active within, or do you choose to rush through and produce poor quality creations and manifestations?

The Power of Transcendence

Transcendence

When you consider the word Transcendence, what comes to mind? Maybe some form of uplifting, or a situation that compelled you to rise above, going beyond your normal course of action. How about a mutation, or transformation into something new. Could transcendence be viewed as an enhancement and should it be sought after in this life?

Transcendence is upward movement, elevation.  Transcendence maintains an element of growth which is brought on by the realization of a particular state of mind that will no longer suffice if one's expectation is to navigate into a different realm of living, doing, and being. Many individuals are completely consumed by their insatiable ego's. Ego is comprised of all of negativity that has ever been instilled into one's mind.  Ego is fear based and causes internal suffering, that is disguised in the form of complaints, worry,  overtly harsh criticism, name-calling, feelings of worthlessness or of not being enough, insecurity, bitterness, shouting, screaming, overreacting, anger, and manipulation. Ego is always wanting more and is never satisfied. Ego is the urge within to make some right and others wrong, otherwise known as defensiveness. The truth never needs defense because it is the truth, and that is always enough. In the book  A New Earth Awakening to Your Life's Purpose,  Eckhart Tolle refers to ego as thought that identifies itself through form. He further states "Once you realize and accept that all structures (forms) are unstable, even the seemingly solid material ones. . . the recognition of the impermanence of all forms awakens you to the dimension of the formlessness within yourself, that which is beyond death."

Take a few moments to reflect and digest. How consumed by ego are you? Will you choose to use The Power of Transcendence to move beyond ego and into the freedom of being.

The Power of Love

Love is what means the most to me because in my world, the Power of Love makes up everything, therefore, I am love :) Growing up, I didn't really consider life without love, there was a consistent and abundant flow of love all around me( I, and those closest to me, still have our share of pains and obstacle illusions like everyone else, but that's when the Power of Love comes through)  I grew and interacted with other's, intertwining paths and experiences. At a very young age I began to understand that people have different kinds of relationships with love. I have also found that many have never even had the pleasure and luxury of  experiencing pure love. When I say pure love I mean no restraints and unconditional, but please DO NOT confuse the word unconditional with disrespectful! There are people in this world who really believe that showing or receiving love is basically providing or getting large amounts of materials, which is totally fine if that's how you choose to be, but that has very little to do with love. Gifts should be used as tools to help further express love, not replace it.

Anyway, Love is UNLIMITED and that is raw power. Any relationship, circumstance, or experience that
is limiting in every fathomable way is NOT love. And any source that enforces or permits limitations is NOT a loving source. The Power of Love is freely flowing throughout the universe and available to EVERYONE!!! Please remain open in heart and mind. Don't be too closed, cold, and selfish to feel love.

The Power of Slience

Sound is everywhere. If you happen to live in the city, as opposed to the "country", you may be predisposed to even more sounds, clashing together creating noise. Some households allow television and various other noise emitting devices to remain on and active throughout the day and into the night(I personally cannot STAND sleeping with any electrical systems on, outside of myself(lol), and I honestly wouldn't sleep with my cell phone on either, but being available for my family at any moment during the day or night is important to me). With so many media influenced outlets around to spark individual impulses, it may be  hard to hear, remember, or even appreciate the Power of Silence. 

Silence is the absence of sound. Silence is so powerful that it even has a special place within music, which is ironic, because music is compounded sounds, which come together and form  melodies. Without silence,  a lot of music would fail to have the intensity that it needs to impact the senses and lead the audience. If we equated our lives to creating a symphony, how compelling would it be without the silent rests and pauses in between? Would the audience be moved by your creation if there were no clear separations to indicate the highs and lows? More importantly, would you be impressed by your own work? Find a quiet place and reflect on the impact of your symphony by using the Power of Silence.

The Power of Intuition

People always know when to follow a specific direction, or whether or not to head on a particular path. There are feelings deep inside of everyone that let them know exactly where to go. Some people call it natural navigation, or an emotional compass.  Even when we don't listen to the feelings, there are always situations that arise constantly, letting us  know if (or not)particular experiences are compatible and even worth  involving ourselves with. When a pattern of uneasy, questionable, or negative influences are chronically present throughout  any situation or circumstance we choose to undertake, we are probably NOT acknowledging the Power of Intuition.

Intuition is a gift that is well know and is held by all. Even though many people know about it, for some reason, we are all guilty, at some point or another, of choosing to act as if doesn't exist . Or maybe just selectively turning a blind eye to, and blatantly ignoring the Power of Intuition, because it's convenient(otherwise know as "making excuses") which for allow us to stay in situations that feel draining to energy and life. A really good definition for intuition is :

         A person's capacity to obtain or      have direct knowledge 

         and/or immediate insight, without observation or reason. 

         It's the "gut feeling" you get. People often place an 

         enormous amount of faith on their intuition, even making 

         decisions that seem to go against all available evidence

         (Read more: http://www.alleydog.com/glossary/definition .php?term=Intuition#ixzz2yrM0XJ4s)

Intuition is a reliable source of insight that is always useful and helpful. It provides people with a way to make decisions quickly and efficiently, without asking others for their opinions or consorting with outside sources about what should be done. A little Power of Intuition goes a long way.

The Power of Speech

Think back to an instance where you decided to keep your mouth shut, even though you knew you had something valid to say. It may not have been an explosive event that had the power to make or break your life, it could simply have been an ordeal that could have made YOUR moment(which is just as important, because the  individual moments that we have are what come together to create life, like building blocks) How did it make you feel? Did you have  nagging, recurring thoughts of "I should have said something," although that thought is annoying, because the time to act had already come and gone? In order to avoid pondering over situations like the one I just described, you'd better start speaking up and employing the Power of Speech.

Speech is:

I happen to like definition #4 because it relates to speech in the term of it being a power and, in my opinion, is the most concrete definition. Everything that involves you as a person matters, and you are the only ONE who can and will represent YOUR, thoughts, feelings, and emotions with total accuracy. No one has the right, ability, or power to speak for YOU. It is left up to us to make sure that we use the Power of Speech effectively in order to be heard and understood by one another.

The Power of Truth

Any time that I have found my way into a tough situation, the types of experiences that involve interactions that make your stomach turn and twist with anguish, down in the pit. They don't even have to be physical interactions, verbal exchanges are what get people amped, or charged, because words have the power to trigger the chemical impulses that conjure emotions.  Anyway, when I'm confronted with these agonizingly bearable circumstances, I can always think back to the moments prior to the uncomfortable event taking place. There's always the opportunity to be more real, more honest, the Truth.

Although living in truth is the option that consistently yields the best results, there are times when living an untruth seems to be more appealing or( a better fitting A-word) appropriate.  For a (normally not so brief) nonsensical moment, being disingenuous to one's self is the easiest , yet most harmful, self-inflicted cop-out that can be done. The truth is always benevolently bearing love on all things that are conceived in it, that's what makes truth so powerful.

Truth is defined as sincerity in action, character, and utterance(www. merriam-webster.com/dictionary/truth). Which means that everything that is thought, said, or done should be in honesty and sincerity or else, it's NOT THE TRUTH! Have you gained the courage to express and live The Power of Truth ?
