Life, the Quality of
Life
If you are reading this, you have it, life that is. Not only are you alive, but you are also aware, not only are you aware but you are intelligent as well. I can write these things with a high level of certainty based upon self-evidence and obviousness. As intelligent aware beings we experience life. I also believe this is true of everyone as well. What differs between you, me and the next person is our experience of life, but even there, there is commonality which enables us to communicate with each other, which enables us to share experiences and interests, likes and dislikes. Experiencing life is not limited to human beings. This should be obvious as well, there are many life forms which inhabit this planet we live on, many that we are aware of, and possibly many that we are not. We are often forgetful of the facts that all life forms innately have some sort of awareness and some sort of intelligence as well. Consider this last sentence the next time you mindlessly harm another life form.
This brings to mind the reason why I’m writing this in the first place. The reason is to express the value of life, and the value of quality of life which we all share and aspire towards.
I think we can all agree it is not enough just to be alive. A person in a coma is alive. None of us would choose that as a life expression if given the choice; Do you want to spend your life in a coma for, let’s say 75 years, then die, or do you want to spend your life experiencing all that life has to offer, moving about freely and easily, seeing, smelling, tasting, touching your surroundings? Laughing, crying, singing, dancing, sleeping and dreaming?
Regardless of who you are, or where you live, the primal instinct for each and every one of us is to survive. Yes, there are some who do not wish to survive, but I submit that they didn’t start out with that attitude; I submit that the quality of their life has contributed to such a life ending attitude. So, the quality of life is again at issue and therefore is a motivator which urges each of us on to a better life experience, not only for ourselves but others as well.
What will people do to experience a better life and what motivates them to do those things?
What motivates you to do what you do? Are you motivated by fear or by love? The quality of your life experience is largely determined by which of these is your motivator.
Fear has long been used as a means to manipulate and control others. Fears finger prints can easily be observed everywhere we look. Why is the evidence of fear so prevalent, because it is effective? I think we can all agree that it is effective, and most of us can attest to how powerful it is and shaping our lives, our choices and what we do. Take a moment to consider the quality of your own life as it is constrained via the influence of fear. Is this the quality of life you want for yourself? Is there a better way to live this life? I think the clear answer is Yes!
Recently I was talking with a friend about dealing with her children. She said something I’ve heard before, something which has been repeated more than once, springing from the lips of people across the world in many languages; “I’d rather be feared than loved.” What does that tell you? It tells me that many people believe fear is more powerful than love, and it may certainly seem to be true.
This brings me back to the quality of life issue, so let’s look at the quality of life where fear is the motivating factor and the quality of life where love is the motivator.
The quality of life where fear is the motivating factor.
In order for fear to be established, something of great value must be threatened. The more real the threat, the more powerful the fear, the more powerful the fear, the greater control those engendering the fear can wield. Because we value life so much, the threat of loss of life is often the easiest mode of establishing control, then the loss of quality of life is also somewhere in that fear factor. Fear is based upon hurt, harm, destruction and loss.
An example of how fear is established.
Mother: “Pick up your toys.”
Child: ….
Mother: “I said pick up your toys or I’ll spank you.”
Child: ….
Mother: Takes the child and spanks him on the bottom, which startles and shocks the child who begins to cry. Once again, the mother says. “Pick up your toys now or I’ll give you another swat.”
Child: Picks up his toys.
Why did the child pick up his toys? Because he didn’t want to be spanked again, it hurt and scared him.
So, the next time the mother wants the child to do something the spanking looms as a threat within the mind and memory of the child who doesn’t want to be hurt or scared; therefore he complies with his mother’s demand. Not because he wants to, not because he loves and respects his mother, but because the quality of his life experience is threatened.
I bet most of you reading this, can relate to this example as something very similar probably happened to you at a very early age. Not only once, but many times, and sometimes we got spanked but went ahead and ignored the threat until we got spanked harder, and so on. So the escalation of threat is always part of the effectiveness when applying the fear factor. You can see evidence of this on the TV news all the time called Terrorism. Why is there terrorism? Because it works.
Those who promote using the fear factor as a means to an end may seemingly enjoy the benefits of their manipulation and control of others, but in using fear as a means of control, a bit of their illustrious beautiful presence in being is tarnished and no longer available as part of their quality of life experiencing. This is evident in their lack of compassion, their heartlessness, their cruelty. The more one uses fear as a tool to control others, the higher the price for using that tool becomes. And the price paid is in loss of the enjoyment of life, the joy of life. The joy of life is the highest quality of life expression, so while those wielding the sword of fear may benefit materially, spiritually, they are poor and empty. You can therefore see why someone who has abused the fear factor might proclaim, “I’d rather be feared than loved.” The reason is because fear is the only thing left to them. When fear is the only thing left for you, it rules your life, you don’t trust anyone, and everyone is your enemy. This is what those who abuse fear find as their ultimate reward.
The quality of life where love is the motivating factor
The qualities of love define the values of it as a supportive expression in life. Love is creative, life supporting and sustaining. Life begets life via love. Love cherishes and values, therefore promotes growth, caring, sharing, guiding and protecting those we cherish and value within our life experiencing. These are qualities substantially opposite to those of fear. Unlike fear which is based upon lack of trust, love’s foundation is firmly established on consistency and trust which engenders supreme caring and willing abiding.
Let me restate the prior example, this time where love is the motivating factor in driving the scenario.
Mother: “Pick up your toys.”
Child: ….
Mother: Goes over to the child, distracts him from what he’s doing by giving him a big hug and kiss. “You know I love you so much, don’t you?”
Child: Smiles, and nods to his mother, as he enjoys the mother’s positive loving attention. He hugs his Mommy back.
Mother: “Come on, help me pick up these toys, okay?”
Child: “Okay.”
Instead of making it a chore, the mother makes it an enjoyable game they both play together. This enhances their relationship because she provides him with the example of a happy loving being. Children emulate those they value in their life experiencing, so taking a loving and caring approach to life experiences promotes that behavior in the children as well.
This example may seem farfetched. You might say, “Yeah right, like that’s ever going to happen like that.” Well, you may be right, it might not actually happen like that, but when love and caring is the motivating factor, creativity can come in to play, and whatever the experience is, it can be an enjoyable one.
When love is the motivating factor for encouraging others to do what you ask them to do, they are more likely to choose to do what you ask because of their mutual love and caring attitude as well as mutual respect. You will also notice a big difference in the language of a loving approach when compared to a fear based approach. In the loving approach, one would ask the other to do the thing while in the fear approach; one would tell the other what to do without allowing him/her the freedom of choice. So you see, love promotes freedom of choice while fear restricts freedom of choice.
It is good to be mindful of our motivators, of our attitudes and of the quality of our life experiencing because being mindful of these things opens us to the possibilities of change. Not only the possibilities of change, but change for the better.
I’m certain we all want to enjoy life fully. By adopting love as your motivating drive, you can certainly enable such a life. If your heart has been tarnished by the effects of fear, you can begin to wash away the tarnish with the balm of love. The wonderful thing about love is it’s forgiving nature. You can be welcomed back in to the Father’s house with open arms when love is the foundation of life. When fear is the foundation of life, there is no forgiveness, now open arms, only locked doors.
I have a key right here to give you. This key unlocks those doors and opens them so you can find forgiveness within.
Abide within the realm where love is supreme.
If you are reading this, you have it, life that is. Not only are you alive, but you are also aware, not only are you aware but you are intelligent as well. I can write these things with a high level of certainty based upon self-evidence and obviousness. As intelligent aware beings we experience life. I also believe this is true of everyone as well.

Vibrational States in Being (Frequency States)
Vibrational States in Being (Frequency States)
General Background information
I’ve written about vibrations before, stating that everything is a manifestation of vibrating energy. Other teachers speak to this fact as well, for instance Abraham, as brought forth by Esther Hicks, often says we are vibrational beings and that the law of attraction is a vibrational law.
I’ve stated before that a characteristic of energy is that it vibrates and that there is a scale of frequencies for this vibrational energy. I don’t know the range of this scale, as far as I know, it could be infinite, but I do know that within that scale are specific frequencies which are consistent and persistent. That is to say, for instance, the frequency of 1 Hz is always 1 Hz. It is consistent and persistent. So with this understanding, one can extrapolate this understanding and apply it to every frequency within the scale of vibrational energy. Whatever the defined frequency is, it is consistent and persistent. (This is very important to grasp and understand.) This is important because if you can identify a specific frequency, you can attune to it, and by attuning to it, you can experience that frequency. And, if you can experience that frequency, you can remember it, and if you can remember it, you can choose to experience it again by recalling the memory of it and thereby attuning to it once again, drawing it into your sphere of experience. If you don’t have a conscious memory of a specific frequency, you can become aware of it by searching for it. So for instance, while you don’t consciously know what the 1 Hz frequency feels like, you can know that it does exist. Knowing that it does exist enables you to seek it out, or attune to it which brings us to the idea of attraction about which Abraham primarily speaks.
Everything is a manifestation of vibrational energy. What we perceive through our senses in this human body, are not just one frequency at a time, but a multitude of frequencies in combination which present, express and therefore are experiencable to us as our life in human beingness.
Within the scale of frequencies, there are ranges of frequencies or spectrums which are generally and broadly identifiable as light, sounds, taste, smell and touch. And narrowing those ranges down, for example, one can experience within the light spectrum a range of colors, within the spectrum of sound, one can experience a range of sounds and the same is true of taste, smell and touch. In other words, there isn’t just one frequency of light, but derivations of that spectrum of frequencies which we experience through our human senses as what we perceive as colors also in a range from magnitude and intensity. (Dark and bright being magnitude or intensity of the specific frequency.) In the same way, each spectrum (sound, taste, touch, smell,) encompasses variations which each can be experienced with varying intensity.
Within the total spectrum of vibrational energy one can expect an infinitely rich and diverse library of unique vibrational states which are available and therefore experiencable. Remember, each of these vibrational states is consistent and persistent.
What I identify as myself, in this human body, as Jerry Dechant, is a compilation of vibrational energy in being. As I consistently identify with and therefore attune to this mix of vibrational energy in expression, I maintain my “identity” as Jerry Dechant, recognizable to those who perceive me as the same Jerry Dechant they’ve met or known before. This is not really true though, because I am really not the same vibrational mix now as I was a moment ago, the truth is, neither are you. While we may remain substantially the same, we are constantly adjusting, remixing, re-attuning vibrationally from moment to moment.
A sense which most humans don’t understand as a sense, and therefore may not effectively make use of is what we identify as emotions. Similar to the other senses, there is an emotional scale of vibrations or a spectrum of vibrational energy expression. Emotional experiences may generally be understood as good feelings and bad feelings. These emotional sensations are actually feedback which enables us to actively attune to a chosen frequency or compilation of frequencies. The emotional sensations therefore are indicators which inform us of our proximity to our point of attention and or focus. That last statement is true only when we understand the function of emotional sensations. If we don’t understand why we have emotional experiences, we may erroneously attribute these experiences. An example of this idea is may be expressed as follows, “You make me so very happy!” or on the other end of the spectrum, “You really piss me off!” If you adopt the understanding expressed by these statements, you will want that other person to be present all the time because he/she “makes you very happy” and if you want to remain very happy, you will need that person to continue to make you very happy, won’t you?
Also, if you believe that someone pisses you off, you will want to avoid that person unless you enjoy being pissed off.
The results of this misunderstanding of the emotional experiences are very different than the results when a proper understanding of these emotional sensations is grasped.
If you understand that the emotional experience of being “very happy” is an indicator of being attuned to what you desire, you will understand that the experience of being very happy isn’t given to you by someone else, but rather the result of being attuned to your own desire.
Likewise, the experience of being “pissed off” is an indicator of being very far out of attunement with what you desire. With the proper understanding, one can avoid getting very pissed off by monitoring the emotional sensations and if these experiences begin to move towards being pissed off, redirecting attention and focus so that instead of moving further out of alignment with your desire, you again move towards your desire.
In this way, the emotional sensations are our navigation system which enable us to effectively move through the infinite range of vibrational experiences as life unfolds within us, around us and before us.
States: Attracting, Neutral and Repelling
Attracting State
Part of the problem people have with effectively using the law of attraction is they don’t adequately understand the emotional experiences as a guidance system. They don’t understand the nature of vibration, therefore they may want something very strongly, but because they lack the valuable understanding of their emotional experiences, they may not effectively attract what they desire.
To correct this, I suggest understanding and experiencing what the state of attracting feels like. How that manifests for you in your life experience may be uniquely yours, but the feeling of the attraction state is one of those persistent and consistent frequencies, which once you know about and attune to, will facilitate the effective application of the law of attraction within your life experience.
This requires an experiential knowing. So, you will have to find this Attracting State within your own being by first thinking about this attracting state vibration. What does this vibrational state feel like? If feels like your presence is drawing to you like a magnet draws metal particles to it’s surface. Generally, this attracting state feels very good or what might be understood as positive emotional experiences. The magnitude of this feeling is determined by your attunement with the attracting state frequencies. There is very little if any effort necessary when attuned to this vibrational state in being. The only effort necessary is that of applying attention and focus upon that which you desire.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the attracting state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Neutral State
The Neutral State is the state where there is no attracting or repelling occurring. One can maintain a neutral state and move through life neither attracting nor repelling anyone or anything. This is a peaceful state, a relaxed state. This is the state you are in when you aren’t actively attracting or repelling vibrational expressions. In this state, it is easy to move through a crowd of people without attracting or repelling anyone, which is experienced as easily moving through the crowd.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the neutral state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Repelling State
This is an unnatural state because our natural state is to attract. Because this is an unnatural state, it is the state which requires a great deal of energy to maintain. It is like being in a river with a very strong current, and trying to swim against the current. It is certain the current of the river is more consistent and persistent than the individual is able to move against it. This state therefore includes a great deal of struggle, frustration and fatigue.
Even though the Repelling state is unnatural, you are probably more familiar with this state than the other two, in particular if your life has been a struggle, if you’ve experienced frustration over and over again, and or if you are constantly exhausted.
You may take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the repelling state. Once you find it, attune to it so that you have an actual experience of how unnatural this state is.
Now that you’ve experienced these states, (I hope you did take the time to experience them as I suggested,) the next step is to actively and or intentionally move from one state to another.
If you are predominately experiencing the repelling state, actively focus upon attuning to the neutral state because that is the easiest state to access from the repelling state. All you have to do is relax. Relaxing is letting go, putting aside any concerns, issues or intentions other than just being here now. Breathe easily. Take an easy deep breath, and then just let it go.
Actively attuning to these states.
Actually, if you participated in the suggested experiences, you actively attuned to each one of these vibrational states. You may therefore understand how to intentionally attune to these states, or move out of one state into another. This is done through present moment awareness and conscious intentional focus of attention.
The neutral state is an excellent vibrational state to attune to because it enables you to “energize” yourself. It is also be an excellent state to observe from. Observe your physical sensations, your surroundings and people from this neutral state. Observe your emotional experiences from this neutral state in particular when you observe thoughts which come drifting through your field of consciousness.
To be an effective applier of the law of attraction, you will certainly want to actively attune to the attracting state primarily and secondarily the neutral state for your periods of rest. If you primarily reside in either of these two states, you will likely begin to find your energy level increasing, your ability to accomplish a great deal with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment will become the norm for you.
Homework
I think a better word is Homeplay. I’d rather play than work, so lets begin to call it Homeplay instead of homework.
For your homeplay, practice actively attuning to the attracting state. Think about it, feel it, let it encompass your being. Reside within this state. Alternately, practice attuning to the neutral state. Like anything else, the more you practice, the more you play within these vibrational states, the easier it is to maintain them and or enter them at will.
The results will be amazing, to say the least. There is a cornucopia of fulfillment awaiting your accepting it into your life experiencing. Residing in the state of attracting also implies a relaxed open state where that which you’ve previously expressed a desire for easily and effortlessly is drawn into your life experience.
As you play within this state of attraction focus upon what you desire rather than what you want to avoid or don’t want. Whatever you focus upon within this state will be drawn to you, so be mindful of what you are attracting.
The last but not least important point to reiterate is to be mindful of what you focus upon and intentionally focus upon what you desire.
Dreams DO come true, it will happen to you!
Best regards,
Jerry

An example of this idea is may be expressed as follows, “You make me so very happy!” or on the other end of the spectrum, “You really piss me off!” If you adopt the understanding expressed by these statements, you will want that other person to be present all the time because he/she “makes you very happy” and if you want to remain very happy, you will need that person to continue to make you very happy, won’t you?
Also, if you believe that someone pisses you off, you will want to avoid that person unless you enjoy being pissed off.
The results of this misunderstanding of the emotional experiences are very different than the results when a proper understanding of these emotional sensations is grasped.
If you understand that the emotional experience of being “very happy” is an indicator of being attuned to what you desire, you will understand that the experience of being very happy isn’t given to you by someone else, but rather the result of being attuned to your own desire.
Likewise, the experience of being “pissed off” is an indicator of being very far out of attunement with what you desire. With the proper understanding, one can avoid getting very pissed off by monitoring the emotional sensations and if these experiences begin to move towards being pissed off, redirecting attention and focus so that instead of moving further out of alignment with your desire, you again move towards your desire.
In this way, the emotional sensations are our navigation system which enable us to effectively move through the infinite range of vibrational experiences as life unfolds within us, around us and before us.
States: Attracting, Neutral and Repelling
Attracting State
Part of the problem people have with effectively using the law of attraction is they don’t adequately understand the emotional experiences as a guidance system. They don’t understand the nature of vibration, therefore they may want something very strongly, but because they lack the valuable understanding of their emotional experiences, they may not effectively attract what they desire.
To correct this, I suggest understanding and experiencing what the state of attracting feels like. How that manifests for you in your life experience may be uniquely yours, but the feeling of the attraction state is one of those persistent and consistent frequencies, which once you know about and attune to, will facilitate the effective application of the law of attraction within your life experience.
This requires an experiential knowing. So, you will have to find this Attracting State within your own being by first thinking about this attracting state vibration. What does this vibrational state feel like? If feels like your presence is drawing to you like a magnet draws metal particles to it’s surface. Generally, this attracting state feels very good or what might be understood as positive emotional experiences. The magnitude of this feeling is determined by your attunement with the attracting state frequencies. There is very little if any effort necessary when attuned to this vibrational state in being. The only effort necessary is that of applying attention and focus upon that which you desire.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the attracting state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Neutral State
The Neutral State is the state where there is no attracting or repelling occurring. One can maintain a neutral state and move through life neither attracting nor repelling anyone or anything. This is a peaceful state, a relaxed state. This is the state you are in when you aren’t actively attracting or repelling vibrational expressions. In this state, it is easy to move through a crowd of people without attracting or repelling anyone, which is experienced as easily moving through the crowd.
Take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the neutral state feeling. Once you find it, attune to it, and reside there for a time so that you become more familiar with this sensation.
Repelling State
This is an unnatural state because our natural state is to attract. Because this is an unnatural state, it is the state which requires a great deal of energy to maintain. It is like being in a river with a very strong current, and trying to swim against the current. It is certain the current of the river is more consistent and persistent than the individual is able to move against it. This state therefore includes a great deal of struggle, frustration and fatigue.
Even though the Repelling state is unnatural, you are probably more familiar with this state than the other two, in particular if your life has been a struggle, if you’ve experienced frustration over and over again, and or if you are constantly exhausted.
You may take a few minutes right now to sit quietly, with your eyes closed to find the repelling state. Once you find it, attune to it so that you have an actual experience of how unnatural this state is.
Now that you’ve experienced these states, (I hope you did take the time to experience them as I suggested,) the next step is to actively and or intentionally move from one state to another.
If you are predominately experiencing the repelling state, actively focus upon attuning to the neutral state because that is the easiest state to access from the repelling state. All you have to do is relax. Relaxing is letting go, putting aside any concerns, issues or intentions other than just being here now. Breathe easily. Take an easy deep breath, and then just let it go.
Actively attuning to these states.
Actually, if you participated in the suggested experiences, you actively attuned to each one of these vibrational states. You may therefore understand how to intentionally attune to these states, or move out of one state into another. This is done through present moment awareness and conscious intentional focus of attention.
The neutral state is an excellent vibrational state to attune to because it enables you to “energize” yourself. It is also be an excellent state to observe from. Observe your physical sensations, your surroundings and people from this neutral state. Observe your emotional experiences from this neutral state in particular when you observe thoughts which come drifting through your field of consciousness.
To be an effective applier of the law of attraction, you will certainly want to actively attune to the attracting state primarily and secondarily the neutral state for your periods of rest. If you primarily reside in either of these two states, you will likely begin to find your energy level increasing, your ability to accomplish a great deal with minimal effort and maximum enjoyment will become the norm for you.
Homework
I think a better word is Homeplay. I’d rather play than work, so lets begin to call it Homeplay instead of homework.
For your homeplay, practice actively attuning to the attracting state. Think about it, feel it, let it encompass your being. Reside within this state. Alternately, practice attuning to the neutral state. Like anything else, the more you practice, the more you play within these vibrational states, the easier it is to maintain them and or enter them at will.
The results will be amazing, to say the least. There is a cornucopia of fulfillment awaiting your accepting it into your life experiencing. Residing in the state of attracting also implies a relaxed open state where that which you’ve previously expressed a desire for easily and effortlessly is drawn into your life experience.
As you play within this state of attraction focus upon what you desire rather than what you want to avoid or don’t want. Whatever you focus upon within this state will be drawn to you, so be mindful of what you are attracting.
The last but not least important point to reiterate is to be mindful of what you focus upon and intentionally focus upon what you desire.
Dreams DO come true, it will happen to you!
Best regards,
Jerry

The Observer
The Observer
Deep within at the center of my being, in the stillness, in the peace, in the calm, in the undifferentiating is the Observer.
While life is happening, things coming and going, movement around me as well as within this body as the cells grow, blood flows, heart beats, lungs breathing in and out, eyes see, nose smells, fingers feel the touch of the keys on my computer keyboard, ears hear sounds around me, and who is me, but the ever-present Observer at the center of my being, in the stillness, in the peace, in the calm, in the undifferentiating being.
As I sit quietly, I notice. . . this Observer is the same now as it was when I Observed my first step, as I laid sleeping, dreaming peacefully in my comfortable bed, last night, last year, a decade ago even before I was born into this body, I have always been the Observer and the one experiencing this beingness.
I notice the space of stillness remains stillness. I notice the space of peace remains peaceful. I notice the space of calm remains calm even amidst the turmoil and chaos that swirls around it like leaves being blown to and fro on a windy fall day. While the waves of the ocean swell and build up into huge masses of water which sometimes come crashing back into the mass of water from which they sprung forth. At the depth of the deepest ocean. . . calm stillness, even with the waves crashing above. . . stillness.
Walking through life, I find I don’t always notice myself as the observer, I get caught up in the activities, in the attitudes, in the movements of cause and effects. I identify with this body as though this is who I am, what I am. And even as this occurs, the Observer within notices observes.
How expansive is the stillness, how expansive is the peace, the calm? How far into the manifest world of chaos and movement does the Observer’s realm reach? How far can it reach? As the Observer it reaches out to infinity, and even amidst the movements, the activities, the emotions which range from despair to bliss, its realm is because there is no size to it, no dimension, no boundary except that which I place upon it, and even that boundary is just another observable.
How different is this Observer who reads this from the Observer who writes this? No difference.
The saying, Namaste means, I bow to that place in you, that when you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are one.
The Observer is his place where we are one. The observer is everyone, and no one at the same time. It is everyone in that it uses these vehicles to observe; it is no one in that it does not attach to any one particular vehicle, it does not identify or limit itself.
Notice. . . That which is. . . Thoughts, sensations, feelings, sense perceptions. Who Observes this?
I do, even without saying it.
Having now experienced this, I know this exists, I know I reside here within this stillness, peace, calm for I am this stillness, peace and calm.
At the eye of a huge destructive storm is stillness, peace, even beauty all this while the storm rages and moves across the water and land, the stillness, peace and beauty remains ever present at the center of the storm. Eventually the turmoil of the storm dies down or another way to perceive it is that the peace expands replacing the turmoil.
Let the peace expand and thereby replace the turmoil, the storms that express as your life, that is, if you prefer the peace to the turmoil. It makes no difference to the Observer which choice you make. In both cases, it remains the Observer. It might make a difference to you as the experiencer though.

God is Light.
God is Light.
In a prior blog I wrote about false premises wherein I wrote anything which has a foundation of or originates from a flawed or false premise is therefore also flawed or false. With this understanding you may clearly understand the truth, and clear away everything based upon a flawed or false premise. The purpose of this writing is therefore to aid in clearing away a flawed premise, a false premise which uncovers the truth of our being.
---
In the beginning there was light and God spoke, “Let there be darkness.” Out of those words sprang the potential for infinite possibilities and potentials.
The Bible has it wrong in that it states that God said, “Let there be light.”
Now that I’ve said that, let me expand on the logic and reasoning which makes the first God statement true, and the second God statement false.
The unspoken or implied message of God saying “Let there be light,” is this: God is not light, God created it, therefore light is subordinate to God. To carry that implied message further, if God is not light, that means God is darkness and that darkness brought forth or created light.
It is universally accepted and understood that energy is indestructible. It changes forms but still remains energy. Being indestructible, the next logical thought must be that energy always was, and will always be. In other words, energy is eternal.
What is a characteristic of energy? It vibrates. Via this vibration, via the infinite variation in vibration, all manifestation expresses in infinite ways. Energy has spectrums of vibration, that is to say scales of vibration. Sound is an obvious spectrum of vibration and as we are able to hear, we can know, at least to the extent that our human hearing can perceive, sounds in degrees of pitch and octave and tone as well as volume. Another spectrum of vibration is that of light. The human senses perceive a portion of this spectrum as visible light while the light spectrum extends far beyond what the human senses can readily perceive. Also, in the same way there are spectrums of smell, and tactile sense, or touch. The human senses distinguish these energy vibrations as sound, light, smell, taste and touch, but in truth these senses originate from the very same energy vibration.
In order for this energy to express with purpose, intent and direction, the energy must be understood as being aware and being aware it must also be understood to be intelligent, which is to say, it is self aware.
So, in the beginning, intelligent aware energy existed. Energy without limitation certainly is universally radiant. That is to say, there was nothing but this undifferentiated radiant energy or light. It didn’t have to create light, or strive to be energy, because that is what it already was.
In order to have expression beyond its undifferentiated infinite radiant state, it had to introduce a state which would enable finite expression. In order to do this, it established resistance which is expressed in its extreme manifestation as darkness. With the creation of resistance came darkness. So with the advent of resistance came the apparent expression of duality; i.e.: God and not God, light and dark, good and bad, top and bottom, in and out, front and back and so on.
(NOTE: the idea of “God and not God” is a duality illusion because there is really only God. “Not God” is a concept within God, the one eternal infinite being.)
Darkness is the absence of light. Darkness does not or cannot bring forth light as it does not contain light to bring it forth. On the other hand, Light can bring forth darkness by limiting its radiance. By introducing resistance, darkness becomes possible. With this understanding, you may also realize darkness has no power over light but rather is the creation of light and therefore subordinate to light. That is to say that light allows darkness to be.
In the manifest, both are essential expressions for without both light and dark there can be no differentiation, no variation of energy expression.
Knowing that light brought forth darkness makes a huge difference and is a massive shift in perspective from what the Bible teaches. What this understanding carries with it is that at our source we are light, we are energy, we are indestructible, and therefore infinite aware beings. At the heart of our being is light, energy and wellness. Wellness is our true eternal state. When we remove the resistance, wellness springs forth because wellness is the energy of our infinite being in expression, and any degree of not wellness is an expression of the resistance we’ve identified with and adopted, consciously or unconsciously which limits our experiencing our natural state of wellness.
With this understanding we may therefore go forth and express our well-being through allowing it to come forth. We don’t have to make it come forth because that is its natural tendency. What we have to do though is let go of the resistance which limits, gets in the way of, or impedes the wellness expression in being. Letting go, and allowing are the tools which enable and facilitate wellness expression.
A lion doesn’t have to try to be a lion that is what it is by nature. As it allows its true expression to come forth, lioness expresses. The same is true for each of us. An eternal light being doesn’t have to try to be an eternal light being, all we have to do is allow our true expression to come forth as eternal light beings. What that means is in order for us to experience our true being; we must release the resistance which stands in our way of that realization and expression. As such resistance presents itself to us, we can release it and as we do, the light of our true being naturally comes forth. It may seem that we are very far from expressing and experiencing our eternal light beingness because we’ve encased ourselves is such seemingly impenetrable shields of resistance, because we’ve identified with the resistance more than we’ve identified with our true well-being. And, that’s okay. You don’t have to suddenly burst free from the resistance you’ve identified with as yourself if you don’t want to. At the heart of your being, whether you acknowledge it or not, well-being is always here available and naturally willing to come forth to the degree that you allow it to be so.
I know surrender may seem like a giving up word, that you should never surrender, that you should maintain the struggle, the effort, the fight, but what are you struggling to protect? I submit to you, you are fighting to protect the limitation, the separateness, the ego which is the resistance encasing your magnificence, which stands between you and the realization you’ve sought your entire life.
With the misunderstanding that God created light out of darkness, it is easy to understand the hesitance to surrender, because with this understanding, if you surrender, you surrender to darkness rather than to light. So, you see the trap set by this misunderstanding? You don’t want to return to the dark, the nothingness, therefore you maintain the fight, the struggle, the heroic efforts to overcome the darkness, when it truth, it is the darkness which binds you, it is the darkness which holds you, which hides your true magnificent being from you.
And guess what, it is all self-imposed. God the infinite intelligent aware energy being, brought forth darkness in order to be able to play. When you realize you can still play as long as you want to, and you realize you have the choice of identifying with well-being or with resistance, you no longer have to struggle against the darkness/resistance to experience your well-being but rather surrender to well-being which enables a more enjoyable playful experience.
Are you conscious? Are you aware? That which is conscious and aware is that which is God within you.
You may therefore know the meaning of what Jesus said, “God, my Father in heaven, and I are one.”
Each person/being is an expression, a lens so to speak, which facilitates a unique perspective of God in expression. In all of creation, each of us is unique. That is to say there is not another me or another you and there will never be a duplicate of any of us. We are each novel expressions in being. Do you realize how magnificent that is, how important you are, how valuable, and how cherished you are to the overall beingness which is God?

With this understanding you may clearly understand the truth, and clear away everything based upon a flawed or false premise.

In Debt?
Why are people in debt?
Our financial system is set up so that it promotes financial debts as a norm. Even though there are programs to reduce debt, the stronger forces/programs promote being in debt. Being in debt is an external expression of our internal energy state. Being enlightened is living in attunement with our source energy. Being in debt is an outward expression of being out of attunement. Being in debt becomes a problem when we move away from our balance point. Like a spinning top, a little wobble is okay, but increased wobble leads to the top crashing.
Solution: Seek your point of balance in each moment. Focus on maintaining your balance energetically, and as you attune to that, everything else in your life will also move into greater attunement. If you are currently way out of balance, start right now to move slowly towards your center. Here now awareness, focus and meditation are tools which will serve you well.
Perseverance furthers.

Mantra (Light Body)
Mantra
A Mantra is a word, phrase or sound which is repeated audibly or mentally for the purposes of quieting the ramblings of the mind and thereby experiencing inner peace and developing mental control and intentional focus abilities.
Typically, the student is instructed to find a place where he/she may sit comfortably with eyes closed for a period without distractions or disturbances. The use of a Mantra is often incorporated within the meditation practice, which may also include monitoring the breath as the student breaths in and out. Of course, monitoring the breath in this way applies only to mentally repeating the Mantra. Also, if you are not an experienced meditater, just sitting comfortably with eyes closed and focusing upon your breathing is an easy basic meditation practice.
As a side note: One can be mindful of the breath while walking, running, or some such repetitive type of exercise. One can also mentally repeat a mantra during more activities than a sitting meditation, but one should not practice either method when your attention and focus needs to be in the present moment to insure your life, health and safety. In other words, don’t do these exercises when you need to pay attention to what you are doing.
Another way mantras may be used is to attune to a specific vibration or field of energetic expression. That is to say, one pays particular attention to a specific idea or feeling to become attuned to it, one with it, or immersed within it. Such a mantra may be more than a simple sound or short phrase; although a simple sound or short phrase may also be effective in attuning the student to a specific vibration or field of energy when used with that intention.
With this information in mind, I’d like to share a mantra I found in the writings of Baird T. Spalding, within the pages of his series of books titled, “The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East.” First, I will present the mantra, and then delve into a deeper understanding of the words in the mantra in order to intellectually comprehend the scope, depth and value in attuning to the mantra’s specific vibratory state and/or energy field. It is important to actually feel the mantra so having a very clear understanding of the words may facilitate experiencing the mantra more fully. As I express the meaning of each word, it might be useful to take some time to contemplate the meaning of each word so that you progress in awareness and sort of flesh each word out within your own consciousness to your own satisfaction.
The Mantra:
“Infinite love fills my mind and thrills my body with its perfect light.”
Infinite: All encompassing, without boundaries, unlimited, expansive, abundant
Love: The highest expression in being, bliss, joy, fulfillment, expansive, attracting and attractive. Vibrationally and energetically, Love is the harmonic attunement with the ONE Source Being which is Infinite. So, Love is the constant and eternal expression of Source/Being.
Fills: as a verb means occupies completely the whole of a container. Fill, as a noun is a quantity that satisfies or satiates completely.
My: My is recognition of “Presence in being” and therefore experiencing, so “my” relates to ownership of that which is owned and or experienced, i.e. : the one experiencing the full expression of infinite love.
Mind: The element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons. So to state this in another way, mind is the seat of your conscious awareness.
So, Infinite love fills my mind, engulfs my conscious awareness. I’m aware of being immersed in this infinite energetic field which expresses as, and is experienced as blissful, fulfilling, expansive, and attractive being.
Thrills: feelings of excitement, exuberance, elation, also vibrates or trembles perceptibly.
Body: The organized physical substance, the material part of a human being. Also, includes the less substantial electromagnetic field which encapsulates and penetrates the material substance of a human being.
Perfect: Being entirely without fault or defect.
Light: electromagnetic radiation of any wavelength that travels in a vacuum with a speed of about 186,281 miles (300,000 kilometers) per second.
I like to also use the word “Life” in place of “Light.”
Life is defined as a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings.
So to recite the mantra in a more wordy but meaningful way, one might say:
All encompassing, limitless, expansive, abundant blissful joy, fulfilling, and expansive, attracting and attractive vibrational energy completely occupies my conscious awareness and excites with exuberance and elation my physical substance and subtle electromagnetic field with flawless electromagnetic radiance.
So, when you repeat the mantra, you can intellectually have a greater grasp of what you are saying, and as you more fully understand what you are saying, you may more easily attune to the vibrational expression which is to say, you may actually experience and embody the mantra more fully through intentional aware focused repetition.
When repeating the Mantra go for the feeling and realization experientially of what you are saying. In this way, you will bring about the expression in being, your flawless electromagnetic radiance body
A Mantra is a word, phrase or sound which is repeated audibly or mentally for the purposes of quieting the ramblings of the mind and thereby experiencing inner peace and developing mental control and intentional focus abilities.
Typically, the student is instructed to find a place where he/she may sit comfortably with eyes closed for a period without distractions or disturbances. The use of a Mantra is often incorporated within the meditation practice, which may also include monitoring the breath as the student breaths in and out. Of course, monitoring the breath in this way applies only to mentally repeating the Mantra. Also, if you are not an experienced meditater, just sitting comfortably with eyes closed and focusing upon your breathing is an easy basic meditation practice.
As a side note: One can be mindful of the breath while walking, running, or some such repetitive type of exercise. One can also mentally repeat a mantra during more activities than a sitting meditation, but one should not practice either method when your attention and focus needs to be in the present moment to insure your life, health and safety. In other words, don’t do these exercises when you need to pay attention to what you are doing.
Another way mantras may be used is to attune to a specific vibration or field of energetic expression. That is to say, one pays particular attention to a specific idea or feeling to become attuned to it, one with it, or immersed within it. Such a mantra may be more than a simple sound or short phrase; although a simple sound or short phrase may also be effective in attuning the student to a specific vibration or field of energy when used with that intention.
With this information in mind, I’d like to share a mantra I found in the writings of Baird T. Spalding, within the pages of his series of books titled, “The Life and Teachings of the Masters of the Far East.” First, I will present the mantra, and then delve into a deeper understanding of the words in the mantra in order to intellectually comprehend the scope, depth and value in attuning to the mantra’s specific vibratory state and/or energy field. It is important to actually feel the mantra so having a very clear understanding of the words may facilitate experiencing the mantra more fully. As I express the meaning of each word, it might be useful to take some time to contemplate the meaning of each word so that you progress in awareness and sort of flesh each word out within your own consciousness to your own satisfaction.
The Mantra:
“Infinite love fills my mind and thrills my body with its perfect light.”
Infinite: All encompassing, without boundaries, unlimited, expansive, abundant
Love: The highest expression in being, bliss, joy, fulfillment, expansive, attracting and attractive. Vibrationally and energetically, Love is the harmonic attunement with the ONE Source Being which is Infinite. So, Love is the constant and eternal expression of Source/Being.
Fills: as a verb means occupies completely the whole of a container. Fill, as a noun is a quantity that satisfies or satiates completely.
My: My is recognition of “Presence in being” and therefore experiencing, so “my” relates to ownership of that which is owned and or experienced, i.e. : the one experiencing the full expression of infinite love.
Mind: The element or complex of elements in an individual that feels, perceives, thinks, wills, and especially reasons. So to state this in another way, mind is the seat of your conscious awareness.
So, Infinite love fills my mind, engulfs my conscious awareness. I’m aware of being immersed in this infinite energetic field which expresses as, and is experienced as blissful, fulfilling, expansive, and attractive being.
Thrills: feelings of excitement, exuberance, elation, also vibrates or trembles perceptibly.

I like to also use the word “Life” in place of “Light.”
Life is defined as a principle or force that is considered to underlie the distinctive quality of animate beings.
