THE ETERNAL EMPIRE

So often in our experience we allow ourselves to be ruled mercilessly by circumstance. We are just as willing to use our own faculties against us. We Think, Feel, and Speak curses upon our own lives without a second thought. We then expect somebody or something else to be the one to come in and save us. This is a surefire way to always be a slave. A slave to circumstance and a slave to patterns and habits. It is only when we are willing to stare down and face everything that is distorted in us and transmute that into Clarity and Power. The same Mind and Feeling that you wield to disempower and depress yourself is the same exact faculty that will open the door to heights unknown. Of course, the weakened Mind and Heart do not want to hear this…and I wonder why that is…You are your greatest conduit for the reversal negatively qualified energy in your life. Seize your mind and feelings and be free...or don't. Master or Slave is a choice at some point.

It is what it is. How often have we heard that? How often have we said that? Yes, there are many things that take place that seem to be outside of our direct control, so why not accept what is in our direct control? Our own authority and authorship in our own Being. Accept that you indeed do have the power to take up your cross, so to speak, and get on with getting on. Accept that you are indeed a mighty, powerful, loving being of sovereign power who can never be victimized unless you forget this simple fact. If it is what it is, then what are you? Let us begin to "it is what it is" our way into greater feelings and expressions of happiness, joy, and fulfillment. You are what you are. I AM That I AM. Hmm. Let this be the answer that explains why you as a Being are so magnificent.

So often, we dwindle Living Beings down to just a nice pair of legs, a pretty smile, or a big bicep. Everybody has a body. So why do we make such a big deal about them?

We make such a big deal that we are willing to deny the Living Spirit I AM to please a meaningless, temporary itch. Now, I have nothing against pleasure. But what is pleasurable about a pound of flesh being the only thing you think is worthwhile about another?

The Invisible Essence of an Individual is their real self. We live in two worlds. What good is a beautiful body if you have a nasty spirit, filled with distortion, insanity, and spiritual poverty? People like this are only good for a few years... because that's all the body lasts.

Once more, I have nothing against sex or enjoying the pleasures of the body to the fullest. But it makes more sense to unite with Beings you actually Know and Love on a Heart Level. This is the only place of true safety.

The sexual abominations on this planet come from a direct ignoring of the Inner Self—from a failure to cultivate Love. When you only care about your pleasure and another's body, that's when we see people willing to rape, kill, steal, lie, and cheat... all for a meaningless slapping together of flesh. To love the body but deny the Essence is but the attraction to Death. How could it not be? For surely if the Essence were to leave that body, you would be looking at a pile of rotting flesh. So, what are you really attracted to?

Why do we betray ourselves? Why do we crucify and deny the very being we are? If you spoke to someone you love the way you often speak to yourself… you'd see how cruel it really is. We put on the garments of self-hate day after day — and then wonder why we feel so heavy.

But the truth is, there's another choice. Right now. You don't have to wait. You don't have to earn it. You don't need permission. Take off the rags. Clothe yourself in love. Stop betraying yourself. Love yourself back to life.

So often in Life we can find ourselves in relationships, jobs, activities, and ways of being that we just accept. We don't even agree or resonate with what is taking place. But of habit, momentum, and unconsciousness—we continue living this way as if we have to. Who told you that you had to live that way? Given what we feel to be a real "choice", we would willingly put these tiring, dead systems of activity and Being behind us. Well thankfully, now is the time to do just that. Heaven on Earth cannot happen while you still live in a personal hell. Let us pick up our Awareness and choose again.

When we move through life with a goal, intentions, or plans, sometimes doubt and fear can creep into our minds. It can convince us that we are not enough to perform or do the task we have set out to accomplish. But look around. Surely you can find something that exists that is even more "grand" than your idea. Look at the very Earth you are on. What if Life had doubted its ability to create and provide the very Life it was? You wouldn't even be. So, take Heart. There is nothing that cannot be done when you align and allow. What does this mean? Be like the Evergreen Tree, throughout every season, every seeming change of circumstance, it but stays the same—Evergreen. Know you are that Tree firmly planted in your vision and allow yourself to blossom when the "time" is right.

Life is not linear. How many times have we heard that? Or maybe it is your first time. We tend to think in if this, then that. Straight lines. This makes sense, right? But how often have we been doing something that aimed, like darts, throwing at a target, or bowling? We swear we are right in line with our target; we let it go, and boom, gutter ball. But with the guardrails up, we would bounce right off them and continue on our journey. But what sometimes we give up thinking that A. we see only the gutter coming and think it's over, or B. that by hitting the rails we have failed to hit our target. What do you think they are there for!? What if Life also wanted you to bowl a perfect game as much as you did? Allow redirection and adjustments to occur, think of them not as failure or mishap, but what if they were simply redirection to the actual target because little did you know your aim was slightttllyyy off.
