Finding The True Source Of Joy

"We understand how easy it is for humans to become attached to the things of your physical world -- the people, the relationships, the possessions, etc.

"There is absolutely nothing wrong with enjoying these things, with taking pleasure in them. But it's far too easy to cross over that line between enjoyment and attachment. This creates huge problems for so many of you. And it often throws you into "an emotional downward spiral."

"We certainly do not advocate you remove yourselves from the world around you. Nor do we want to see you abandon that world, as some of you try to do in your own particular ways.

"There is no need to abandon your physical life and all the people and experiences it holds for you. In fact, you cannot abandon physical life -- it's not an option. Unless, of course, you choose to leave your physical bodies.

"Friends, life on Planet Earth was intended by your higher selves to be a joyful experience. Certainly not without its challenges and opportunities for growth.

"But you, as your higher selves, knew there would be those challenges and opportunities -- that's one of the reasons you chose to reincarnate to begin with.

"Life is a big game you've chosen to play. It's supposed to be fun. That's what games are all about -- fun!

"When you remember that -- when you remember who you are -- then life becomes easy and almost effortless.

"Where you often go astray is when you take life so seriously. You just drag your bodies out of bed in the morning, dreading yet another day of joyless living.

"It does not have to be that way. You were never meant to be so attached to this life that it drags you down.

"If you will take the time to reflect on your attachments (which are always unhealthy), you will start to see them clearly. You will realize they are robbing you of your birthright -- joy.

"Joy is what it's all about. When you can find your joy within yourselves in every present moment, and know you are your only true source of joy, you will then feel such an incredible sense of relief and release. You will be free again.

"Free to enjoy your lives, your relationships, your possessions. Free to enjoy them fully and passionately. But without depending on them for your happiness.

"Even if you lost them all, you know your true and only source of happiness is within you.

"Attachment to the world around you drags you from your happiness, your joy.

"When you seek happiness within you will empower yourselves to create and live the most joyous, abundant lives you have ever known."

What Is Enlightenment?

"Think of it this way - those of you who are struggling trying to become enlightened - if you are doing it to escape this plane of reality we promise you there is no escape.

"And if you think that somebody is going to come and save you they are not. There are no magic pills or potions. There are no magic rituals and rites. There are no magic disciplines or methodologies; none. That which you term enlightenment or ascension or whatever other funny name that you have for it, is indeed the natural result of loving every facet of you absolutely and unconditionally."

Transforming Scarcity into Abundance and Prosperity

"Since financial challenges have been in the forefront recently, this makes the perfect testing ground for learning to wield your magic wand to transform scarcity into abundance.

"The first point of transformation is to understand you're not really transforming reality or "what is," but yourself. The identity you hold determines your field of possibilities and the realities you activate into your life. If you're not sure whether your identity is one of scarcity or abundance, become a detective in your own life, observing and making notes on things you habitually say, do and feel around the issue of money. If you find yourself constantly saying you can't afford things or that you’re "broke," or "poor," this is an indicator you have some degree of scarcity consciousness. Beliefs about scarcity often are passed from one's family and are therefore deeply ingrained. However, it is possible to transform a“scarcity identity” to one of abundance and prosperity."

Adopting an Identity of Abundance and Prosperity

"The quickest way to create future realities based on abundance and prosperity is to adopt the identity of the version of yourself who is abundant and prosperous and to begin living your life from the perspective of this new identity. Adopting an identity of abundance and prosperity is a matter of shifting your perspective to see the world through the eyes of “one who is abundant.”"

A Short Course on Creating Identity Shifts

"Here is a short course on creating identity shifts:

"To create an identity shift, first set the intention to make the shift. This creates an energetic field that begins to attract energy, information, ideas, people and resources to bring your intention into physical reality. Open to allow your intention to manifest. Manifestation occurs when intention and allowing go hand-in-hand.

"In order to fine tune your new identity, you may want to spend some time observing those who hold identities of abundance. Also observe those who hold identities of scarcity. Observe the differences between the two.

"You may also find it helpful to brainstorm all the images and ideas you associate with abundance and prosperity. In a journal, list the qualities and characteristics you associate with abundance and prosperity. Look for photographs and symbols that represent abundance to you and place these around your home so they are always in front of you. This helps reaffirm and re-energize your intentions daily.

"If your brainstorming session yields images of things that make you feel abundant, make time for these. Something as simple as making time in your day for a walk in the park can boost your energy and enthusiasm for life, which subsequently magnetizes greater abundance. (emphasis added)

"As you move further into an identity shift, you will receive images of your new self in dreams. You can also ask your spiritual guidance to bring you conscious images and close-ups of any areas of your new identity that remain unclear. Your guidance will also bring your attention to any barriers, unresolved situations, or old beliefs that stand in the way of adopting your new identity. Release any thoughts of who you have been, who you no longer wish to be, and simply step into the identity of who you are now -- who you choose to be.

"By strongly identifying with the self who is experiencing your chosen probable reality, you make it your present-moment reality. When you bring your complete focus to your new reality, you move toward who you now choose to be, which naturally creates distance from any past realities. This carries you into a fuller experience of realities aligned with your new identity."

The Mind UNDERSTANDS, The Heart KNOWS

"So the mind is where all these illusions of separation are. The mind is where you hold all the complex constructs that allow you to play the games you are playing. The mind is the place of all these understandings and complexities. The mind analyses and engages in reductive reasoning.

"The mind UNDERSTANDS.

"However...

"The heart KNOWS.

"Your heart is your path through all illusions. Your heart is connected directly to The One and to the greatest truth of all which is The Oneness of All. If you stop all the babble of your mind. If you silence all the noise in your being. If you learn to just SHUT UP long enough to hear what your heart has to say then you will hear it crying out in longing for ONENESS. For the infinite, overwhelming, blissful love of The One.

"Your heart knows and has never forgotten this greatest truth.

"Can you feel it?

"Can you go to your heart and know this to be true?"
