Right Here, Right Now #135

We would never recommend trying to put lipstick on a lion. It never quite works out the way you think it will. And we would never recommend trying to tame a lion. They're quite happy being the wild beasts that they are. However, from time to time, it might be helpful to walk up to the lion on your path and give him a good bop on the nose. Because, while lions in the wild are one thing, the ones on your path are actually paper tigers and that's a very good thing to know, indeed.

Reminders

The confluence of your presence in this place and at this time is a wholly unique experience. The Unconditional Love that you are has never expressed itself as it is doing so right now. This is your leading edge. This is where all the magic and the power can be found. Always.

You are an amazing being of light, manifesting a physical reality of astounding color and sound and texture and flavor and aroma, through the magic of contrast, organized by infinite intelligence, fueled by powerful desire, and underwritten completely by unconditional love.

Here is one way to look at your life:

Living in the chaotic universe:

Random events occur to you.
Planning is a very good idea.
Strategy should be developed.
Motivation keeps you on track.
There's a lot of work to be done and you should probably start now with the parts you don't like so you can get that over with.
Be sure to treat yourself along the way because it's very hard.

Here is another way to look at your life:

Living in the intentional universe:

Perfectly timed experiences arise in delicious ways that are specifically for you.
Letting Infinite Intelligence do the organizing for you feels really good.
Everything works out for you in perfect ways.
Inspiration is available in every moment and is easily recognizable because it feels better.
You never get anything done because your life is an ever-evolving series of deliciously unfolding experiences and the idea of working hard to get it done no longer is relevant.
Every moment is delicious when you turn your attention in that way and there are an endless number of delights along the way.

If you are preparing for the chaotic universe, then you will be surrounding yourself with more and more ideas of how that chaos is the order of the day.

And, as you relax and realize that All is Well, indeed, then you will begin to notice that the intentional universe, the one you are creating yourself through your intention, is what is actually happening.

Once you awaken to your intentional universe, you will never again truly be able to function in the chaotic universe. This is a very good thing, indeed.

When you say to yourself, "This is the way it is," you have an excellent opportunity to check in and see if that is the way you actually like.

If it is, then you are on the right track and might enjoy further such declarations!

If it isn't, then you have a wonderful moment, right then and there, to decide for what you want instead.

The only thing we would remind you is that if you are hanging your hat now on the actions of others or particular circumstances, it will be much easier to have more of what you actually want by focusing on what you expect to feel as a result of this new reality.

You create vibrationally, not by moving chess pieces around on a chess board.

It's all about how you expect to feel that brings the Universe of your thoughts in such perfect focus and which delivers much more than you can even imagine.

Freedom and wealth are not necessarily the same.

You can certainly have one without the other.

And you can have neither.

But you can also have both.

If we were in your shoes, we would put any question of this to rest by simply noticing how very much you already have of both.

Awareness begets awareness and gets easier and more obvious with just a bit of practice.

Now would be a very good time to do so.

Nothing actually ever ends but all things evolve and this evolution is constant.

As you follow those thoughts that feel better to you, you are aligning yourself with the evolution that is most amazing of all: that of unconditional love, which is evolving itself through you right now.

This creation known as your body is astonishing.

And we do highly recommend that you let it be the amazing, wonderful, delicious creation that it actually is.

Your ability to have what you want is directly related to your willingness to not have it.

What we love about you is how you allow what you want to happen so beautifully. This happens more than you tend to believe.

When you are saying to yourself "I am creating my reality," quite literally what you are doing is you are standing forth at the very center of your being and declaring a truth that is actually in perfect alignment with who you are regardless of what is going on.

If you want security, turn within, focus on your ability to create what you want, and rely upon that. Because that is highly reliable.

Contrast arises naturally in every situation, no matter what it is that you are thinking about or where it is that you are pointing your focus of concentration consciousness.

It's very important to remember, as you're spinning straw into gold, that contrast is actually helping you define and refine what it is that you are wanting.

If you did not have contrast, if you did not have those thoughts arising--either in manifested form or just in the ideas of them--that were showing you how you didn't want to go in the direction you were pointing in, then you would not understand the value of or be able to keenly define what it is that you're really wanting.

We understand why it would be very, very delicious--in concept at least--to live a life where there was very little contrast whatsoever.

But what we want to remind you is that it is the contrast of your experience that has actually helped you over and over and over again to come very clearly into alignment with what you are really wanting.

When you bring a problem to be fixed into your Vortex, you will get kicked out.

When you bring an idea to be amplified into your Vortex, you will fly

So, what problem is just contrast pointing to an idea that you want to amplify?
