Appreciation Journal : 18th May 2020

'Consciousness knows itself, through raw experience, as the subjects & objects of experience.The 'alphabets' of experience are SIFT: sensations, images, feelings & thoughts' make up the 'constructs' or stories of experience.' :DC

' When you resist change, it can be painful. Focus on your desired outcomes : what you expect will be what you get, so expect the best. Go through the process & do not be dismayed. How this looks on the other side is entirely up to you. When you hang on to the old for too long out of fear, things can get dicey because the momentum stops. It can be scary to let go; just know & appreciate that there will be something new to rely on. Go with the flow. When you no longer depend on outside influences for your state of being, this is a much easier task. Rise above the chaos & the fear! Stay tuned to the 'radio channel' frequency for love. : Archangel Ariel

'Wilfully letting go of the negativity is a very positive thing to do. Relax & release but it takes practice, with low-hanging fruit first.' :MS

'Worrying about things we have no control over causes emotional suffering.We compromise our happiness by worrying about things we have little or no influence over. We can't change what already is, but we can choose what we do under the circumstances.

1. Living with arete : express your highest self in every moment
2. Accept whatever happens : focus on the things we control & accept rest as it happens.
3. Taking responsibility :don't let outside events determine our well-being
4. Be mindful of anger (triggers) : it's a temporary madness, interferes with problem-solving, affects sanity
5. Know where you're going: live with conscious purpose, be clear of own identity, know who you are, what you want & how you can achieve your goals. Find purpose & meaning
6. Don't follow the crowd
7. Admit $ into your home, not your heart:wealth is the slave of a wise man, the master of a fool. Enjoy material things but don't become attached to them.
8. Cherish the Present : every day as it comes should be welcomed & reduced forthwith into our own possession as if it were the finest day imaginable.
9. Give without expectations($, time, effort): a human being is an opportunity for kindness ;the satisfaction of helping is the payment
10. Always be youthful : keep mind active & seek harmony between body & mind to face world with strength, joy & serenity.

'The human race is a stage through which various forms of consciousness travel... Yours is a training system for emerging consciousness. Before you can be allowed into systems of reality that are more extensive and open, you must first learn to handle energy and see through physical materialization, the concrete result of thought and emotion.

When you leave the physical system after reincarnations, you have learned the lesson and you are literally no longer a member of the human race, for you elect to leave it. Only the conscious self dwells within it in any case, and other portions of your identity dwell simultaneously within other training systems. The training will serve you for existence in a variety of interrelated systems. In more advanced systems, thoughts and emotions are automatically and immediately translated into action, into whatever approximation of matter there exists. Therefore, the lessons must be taught and learned well.

In the most basic sense, the purpose of life is being - as opposed to not being.
In your system of three-dimensional reality you are learning about mental energy (also called thought energy or psychic energy) and how to use it.
Knowledge about mental energy and its use is learned by constantly transforming your thoughts and emotions into physical form (your physical reality) and by then perceiving and dealing with the matter and events that are formed.
From doing this, you are supposed to get a clear picture of your inner development as it is reflected by the exterior environment.
You participate in physical reality so that you can operate and experience within this dimension. Here, you can develop your abilities, learn, create, solve problems and help others.
Matter is the shape that basic experience takes when it comes into your three-dimensional system.
Your dreams, thoughts, expectations, beliefs and emotions are literally transformed into physical matter.' 

You must learn to listen to the voice of the inner self and work with it.
You may also simply ask the inner self to make the answers to problems available on a conscious basis.
You create your reality according to your beliefs and expectations, therefore you should examine these carefully. If you do not like some aspect of your world, then examine your own expectations.
Your world is formed in faithful replica of your own thoughts... If you think positive suggestions to yourself about a situation you send telepathic ammunition for positive use. You must learn to erase a negative thought or picture by replacing it with its opposite.

You should tell yourself frequently "I will only react to constructive suggestions." This gives you positive ammunition against your own negative thoughts and those of others.

A negative thought, if not erased, will almost certainly result in a negative condition.
Say to yourself, "That is in the past. Now in this new moment, this new present, I am already beginning to change for the better."

It does not do to repress negative thoughts, such as fears, angers, or resentment. They should be recognized, faced and replaced.

You must watch the pictures that you paint with your imagination. Your environment and the conditions of your life at any given time are the direct result of your own inner expectations. If you imagine dire circumstances, ill health or desperate loneliness, these will be "automatically" materialized, for these thoughts themselves bring about the conditions that will give them a reality in physical terms.

If you would have good health then you must imagine this as vividly as you fearfully imagine ill health.

You create your own difficulties. This is true for each individual. The inner psychological state is projected outward, gaining physical reality - whatever the psychological state may be... The rules apply to everyone. Knowing this, you should try to realize what your psychological state is and change your conditions for your own benefit.

You cannot escape your own attitudes, for they will form the nature of what you see. If changes are to occur, they must be mental and psychic changes. These will be reflected in your environment.

You are not your emotions. They flow through you, you feel them and then they disappear. When you try to hold them back they build up.

Physical symptoms are communications from the inner self, indications that we are making mental errors of one kind or another.

You must accept life on its terms, and not demand that it behave in certain ways. You must accept life gladly, as its own reason and cause within you'.:S
