Life is About Choice—Your Choice

 

By Marilyn L Redmond

 

It may seem like the roof is caving in, all of life is fanatical, with taxes and wars never ending. Have you noticed that when life has smoothed out then another issue arises? The vicissitudes of life are there for a reason. Ultimately, they bring balance.  

Our lives have a purpose and each event, good or bad, have meaning for us to examine. The ones we call bad are there to teach us a lesson. What did the situation emotionally trigger in you? Did you get angry, get revenge, or get sullen. Is that how you dealt with this kind of situation growing up or early in your life? Do you continue to react in this kind of life situation and things seem to never change?

When I was older, I learned that I had to change with a new response instead of acting from my old ways. I did not have to stay in my immature childish ways of acting. I had been reacting from some kind of fear. In my early growing up, my parents did the best that they could, but as a child, I did not see it that way, In my feeling insecure, feeling a lack of, feeling lonely, or rejected. I wanted love, caring, and hugs saying I love you.   

Being naïve, I married and recreated the family in which I grew up. The roof was still caving in after a few years. I was not taught about how life worked or how to have trust, communications, or feelings. I was stuck at a young age, emotionally. I remember at the age of five telling myself, "If being an adult is about fighting every night, then I do not want to grow up." 

I continued my immaturity into my fifties, married as a teacher, mother, and working in the family business. I was never given a choice. I was a great "doer". Through circumstances, I found a spiritual program that had information very new to me. My first insight was that I had been living in fear. In addition, my new information had answers different from the religion in which I was raised.

I found new answers to be helpful in all parts of my life. I could respond to life situations in loving resolutions, instead of my old ways. I learned that I was like a magnet in the fear and the fearful situations kept coming to me. Making a list of the fears and reframing them into positive thoughts was bringing better results.  When I saw that this was improving my life, I continued to find my guilt, shame, jealousy, and other negative thinking to restate them into positive perceptions called affirmations.

I could claim the truth about myself. I was not unworthy, without value, or used merchandize. I could substitute the positive for the negative. This brought truth into my life. Continuing through many years of self-searching, prayer, and meditation to replace the misinformation, lies, and false beliefs was my inner work. Each time brought more peace and grace into my life. I felt a relief as my awareness moved into a higher consciousness of a beneficent universe that created it all. I began to see that the fear had blocked my vision of truth, where all is good. The fear was an illusion and blocked the truth that love is reality.

Making this change takes faith and trust in a higher power. I saw myself walk into the hands of a loving Creator leaving the past behind. I chose to have a life seeing the positive in all things. With my new choices over time, I moved more into a higher realization. Life was becoming better, I felt better, and I could see that life is good. I was going through a transition into new understandings about life. Ultimately, I gave up beliefs and now come from my heart instead of my head.

I could give up the judgment I learned so well from my mother. This allows me to be in a non-judgmental awareness about life and people. In changing myself, I became a new person as if I had a new pair of glasses. I finally realized they were my teachers to teach me to turn to "The Father of Light" in all things. Love and light are the same energy.  

The past anguish brought me to turn to a loving universe for help and support. If I stayed in my pain and anger, I could not have grown into my new world of seeing life and those challenges as opportunities to grow and mature. I would have remained immature and childish. I found forgiveness and compassion for those in my past that brought on difficult situations. Gradually, I was able to thank them in prayer, as they had past.

I have grown up and am grateful for all the good things I did not glimpse before. Learning to "let go and let God", I no longer needed to run from life. I could accept life on life's terms, even if I was not thrilled about it. I do not resist, but accept it learning the lesson to move beyond my old thoughts, words, or actions. I can choose to have love be my guide and foundation in life's experiences. Those experiences become wisdom. This brings joy and fills me with the love I always wanted and was only hidden. . Love never fails.

A New Mind Set for Life

 

Through faith and trust, it is possible to rise above the past. The forces of Darkness have kept this knowledge from us throughout centuries. Keeping the population in lies, misinformation, fake news, and distractions stops inner searching for the answers to life and love. It is easy to dominate fearful people and have them look for external salvation. The real answers are within.  

Love has always been within my heart. I learned that I needed to give up being the manager of my life or pay attention to experts. I was afraid to listen and be vulnerable. This is my defining moment, a decision to move beyond past difficulties as I follow my internal voice of guidance and direction. . It is only possible to support life by moving into a higher level of realization.

For me surrendering for caring help from my heart was the most difficult decision and action I have taken. In my growing up love hurt.  Today, I know better and choose to replace my ego driven life of the past to become an agent of love. This was the turning point in my life. It is called the leap of faith.

With a new foundation, it is possible to grow into forgiveness, gratitude, compassion, and unconditional love that transports being in the world, but not of it. Well-being is living in the moment. This is a gift and why it is called The Present. Fresh feelings of harmony, serenity, and joy fill me. I am a spiritual being letting go of human burdens and errors as I grow back to my source of health and wellness.

"Everything in life is a vibration", said Albert Einstein. Ester Hicks who channels Abraham brought the pieces together for me. "As you identify the thing that you want and you achieve vibrational harmony with it, by the Law of Attraction, you summon the Energy through you, and that is what life is.". This process is described in my book, "Paradigm Busters". It is as simple as "There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear." 1 John 4:18. I changed my past by changing me.

 Through The Law of Attraction, which is about aligning with the love of God, new perceptions of compassion and synchronicity appear. . The Law of Attraction is not about material wealth and possessions, but in attracting joy, love, and caring that manifest in a healthy emotional life. A higher consciousness attracts a higher-quality life. The right use of will power is to unite with your higher power's grace and love, knowing that God's grace is sufficient. Intuition is the presence of your higher self, which gives a beautiful vision of humanity joined in harmony and well-being.

 I believe grief is the basis of more illness than is usually identified. When you experience the sorrow of the past, you are free to move into grace. The emotional barriers I had built to protect me were actually preventing health and good things in my life. The stuck energy releases to allow the love to flow and there is no dis-ease or symptoms. Healing your pain and suffering is the biggest gift you can give yourself. With a new cause, there are better outcomes.

 Reprogramming your thinking is necessary as the past culture sent ego messages of anxiety that keep us separated from the loving universe that created us. Releasing the old negativity allows room for the good and truth to be real in our lives. The following honest sentences help you bring about all the renewed good health and energy you have wanted.

 Honesty is my connection to a higher power. I move into the sunlight of the spirit, that is the solution to my medical and other problems. There is no sickness in the grace of a higher power. My books have tools to find health and wellness from within.

 Affirmations affirm the truth and come from love. Saying affirmations to replace old thinking and behavior is most beneficial in retraining thoughts. They bring health because it changes the mindset from the ego driven life into your heart where all is good.

 Reframing thinking for doing the next right thing from the heart takes practice. Moving from the head into the heart for good orderly direction brings good results supporting health and well-being. Loving messages bring productive information to your body from self-love are often termed miracles.

  I freely release all pain, illness, and imbalance, feelings stronger with every day.

·         I am now renewing my body's ability to heal itself.

·         I balance my body, thoughts, and feelings easily each day.

·         I am now in perfect harmony.

·         Each time I want a __(a cigarette, drink, sweets), I now notice what I'm feeling.

·         I now say my feelings instead of swallowing them.

·         My body grows more beautiful.

·         I can see God/Life give my health back to me.

·         My body is now healing miraculously!

·         My strength grows steadily with every new day!

·         I am now willing to be free of all pain and illness.

·         I am now becoming the picture of health, again!

·         I accept, love, and respect my body completely.

·         My body returns my loving support.

·         I let the white light from above and within heal me with love.

·         I do not need this problem and send it away.

·         I heal this part of me with every new day.

 Changing  the focus from your head/ego to your heart center, is the answer to your life improving. The fearful messages from the brain are replaced with loving messages that support health and well-being. The change occurs with loving support of the spirit. The well-known psychic Edgar Cayce said, ""For, that we find in the spirit taketh from in the mind. Mind becomes the builder. The physical body is the result." 

 What you focus on grows. My mind set determines my life and a loving mindset of healthy thoughts become manifested.. Think good thoughts because thoughts become things, so think the good ones. I find that I have to do my part is most important; it is an inside job. Before I heard this prayer, I had never thought about taking responsibility for my health and well-being.

Prayer for Spiritual Healing

I ask the Great Unseen Healing Force

To Remove All Obstructions From My Mind and Body

And to Restore Me to Perfect Health

I ask this in all Sincerity and Honesty

And I will Do My Part.

 

I ask This Great Unseen Healing force

To Help Both Present and Absent Ones Who Are in Need of Help

And to Restore Them to Perfect Health

I Put My Trust in the love and Power of God

How do you go through this shift in your personal awareness? With knowledge and acceptance that you can move into a higher frequency to enjoy a new life is possible. Moving out of the ego and fear based life into a heartfelt life through doing the inner work, you recognize the best is yet to come.

 

 

 

 

Firing The Ego

 MARILYN L. REDMOND, BA, IBRT, ABH

Growing up I did not know I had choice in my life. This was not an option in my marriage, either. When I was divorced, I started driving out of state to the Santa Barbara's Writers' Conference in California. People shared their writing during the sessions. I shyly shared my piece with the group. After the gathering, a woman came up to me and whispered in my ear. "You always have choice."  I thought to myself, she never grew up in my family.

 Going to counseling for help in recovery from my traumatic past, I found out you could change your thinking and feelings. This was new wonderful news to me. I proceeded to find new ways to approach life that would be more productive for me. Spiritual groups were supportive, but the real answers for me also came from the 12-step programs. One step has you release the past problems, negative feelings, or difficulties. This gave me a choice to release what does not work for me. I found it a gift to let go of the past harmful feelings and abuse.

 I heard in meditation that when I release the past of what I do not want, I was to replace it with what I do want, because nature abhors a void. Releasing the past in contemplation was more productive than just saying it. It takes me to a higher consciousness of my soul to become real.

 Continuing to identify each difficulty and release my many fears, resentments, guilt, and shame, I had an amazing experience. While camping in Death Valley National Park, I was meditating on a beautiful sunny day with all the magnificence of the park around me. I felt grace from head to toe replacing the problems I had released. Grace had filled the void left. It felt like cozy billowy cotton balls soft and warm filled me. I continue to release each fear, anger, resentment, guilt, and shame from the past, for love to replace them. I wanted more of that good feeling.

 It was in my thinking; I was my own enemy. I read that I had to release all the barriers that I had created; they stopped grace. I read a cartoon one Sunday in the funny papers with a character, Pogo in the strip written by Walt Kelly. He said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us". Taking responsibility for undoing my old ideas, beliefs, and behaviors from fear were mine to change. I was glad to see how I could still improve my life by facing the truth about my old mindset doing me in.

 I am still finding old ideas I had forgotten from years back to reframe into being positive and supportive of the life I want today. I needed to move from listening to my head voices from the past and move into my heart. That is where I hear the loving guidance and directions from love and not fear.

 Understanding that the ego, Edging God Out, of my life was the problem, today, I merge God in. Finding affirmations to support my new feelings, thinking, and actions brought great results. Affirmations replace my thoughts with positive, productive ideas to remind me of the new life I want. 

 My first affirmations I received were from therapy my first day. I came home with the list of affirmations and read them while I was in a lawn swing in a sunny afternoon. I had a wonderful loving feeling and light rise in me and I never had felt so good. I placed the list by the bathroom mirror to read twice daily every time I brushed my teeth. After repeating them time after time, I found they were becoming part of my life automatically. They actually were creating a new pattern of thinking and behaviors.

 While staying with my minister's family during drastic times in my marriage, I had read a lovely poem on the wall of his dining room. I saw the vibrations of the words leave the paper. I realized if I put positive poems, sayings, or ideas on my walls, they would radiate the message into my home. I now have affirmations, slogans, and positive comments in several rooms. I have angels' pictures and figurines placed in every room, and I even play CD's that have constructive messages.

 Most of the old barriers are gone today; however, I find it is a lifetime process. I still find old ones to let go and let God replace. A couple fears from my childhood just surfaced in an unusual way. I found my dental problems are coming from an old fear early in my life when I was afraid to tell the truth. Fortunately, today, I am around people who are honest and respect truthfulness. That is not the old situation anymore. I can release that old thought.

 There is nothing wrong with the core of me and who I am. I have patterns to unlearn, new behaviors to embody and wounds to heal. I am unlearning generations of harm and remembering love; it takes time. God's love and energy, peace, and harmony flow through me.

 My book, "Paradigm Busters" at Amazon and Barnes and Noble has the details chapter by chapter, of how I released the past negativity in my life to replace it with love and grace.  I moved from victim to victory. My books are being distributed internationally to prisons and used as a booked study in San Quentin. I was just included in the current, prodigious book, "Who's Who in America. This concept is explained further in my books,

Tuesday-boldbravemedia.com is Holistic Health and Affirmations for Love Never Fails

How Do You Harness Your Energy?

Have you often felt powerless and without control of your life? Are we really lacking the ability to influence your circumstances? Why do some people get the great results, while you sit on the sidelines?

You have energy in your life. The answer lies in how you use your inner spirit often labeled energy. Some people ignore this beneficial influence and some people have learned to harness their energy and use it well. It is often called chi, prana, or vital life force. An invisible, beneficent, vibrating force that gives us growth and manifests in my life is a new thought for some.

Spiritual power is invisible and usually not included for personal direction and guidance in life. This power can also be thought of as a Creative Intelligence or universal consciousness underlying the totality of things. Edgar Cayce the great psychic of the 20th century called it the Creative Forces and in the movie, Star Wars, called it "The Force". 

Over the ages, the message has been that we have little influence over our predicaments. In the past, I believed that I would always be in a terrible, horrible, and painful life being raised and married into domestic violence. After years of playing the victim and giving away my power, I discovered that I did not have to do that. It was time to stop volunteering to be a victim.

Finding different ways to manifest a healthier life style became my new goal.* First, I had to be committed to going to any lengths to change my old ways and ideas. They brought on my depression, harm, and illness. The old ideas were ingrained in me from my family, church, medicine, school, and societies' rules. Instead, I had to trust my inner love/light to support me.

My answer was to change my thoughts and beliefs for new results. I could alter my thinking into a new productive mindset. My imprisonment from false beliefs and thinking could bring freedom. Transforming my attitudes from negative to the positive became a major challenge for my new way of living.

Affirmations became my new encouraging view. Realizing they were simple statements of truth surprised me. I discovered that I had lived in fantasy and not reality. I felt changes happening.

The fact is fear attracts fearful results. Fearful messages edge God out. As I let go of each fear, I started to merge more of God's love and grace in to fill the empty space left.

I began to identify each of my ego's messages that were projecting fear and producing my lifelong misery. That there is a universal law that "Like attracts like" became a new understanding. Sending out loving energy would improve my circumstances. I cannot have fear and faith at the same time.

Staying in fear keeps me immature. A child is afraid of the Boogie Man. With the light of truth, the darkness leaves. I can then respond in a loving mature response. Because I was truly wanting a happy life, my ego needed to be reduced from running the show.*

Discovering a hundred forms of fear was my chief motivation was a new understanding. I found fearful ideas created irrational results. They were the obstacles to a better life; I was ready to let them go. That is why I never could improve my life. I learned, "Let go and let God". I also used a God Box where I placed a piece of paper with each named fear written on it, to release them from my mind.  Life started to feel better. It was working.

In addition, resentments had to be recognized and released. They are symbolic of a little child throwing a temper tantrum because something or someone did not go their way. Transforming the anger of the resentment into being upset and then disappointed, I found that furious energy gradually dissolves. Today, I choose to act in helpful ways and forgive.

Directing my power beyond the childish responses opens new doors to abundance and prosperity. This brings a new sense of security and comfort.

Messages of my lack of security and lack of love from the ego were the only obstacles to manifesting happiness and prosperity. Therefore, allowing spirit to flow through me and expand is necessary. Spirituality is energy in expansion. Watching the miracles appear is amazing.

Spirituality is very practical. Moving into a loving basis was exciting to me. My life began to bloom. Changing negative thoughts, words, or actions into positive ones made a difference.

I found a decorative plaque in a bookstore that listed the fruits of the spirit.  But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law."Galatians 5:22-23 is a typical list for the aspects of spirituality. Each week, I practice a different aspect and apply it in my life. Over time, my progress has shown harmony and peace. This is my reward.

When I express gratitude, even more goodness manifests. Listing everything for which I am grateful and adding to my gratitude list, brings further happiness. In addition, learning forgiveness is a major change for me. This removes the victim chains to the past. I found compassion for those people, as they are hurting from their own problems. Learning that we are all one in spirit brings unconditional love. I can love the person and not the behavior.

These ideas change everything. I am free to be myself. Stopping my reacting in fear to responding in love is empowering. I move beyond resentments and fear into maturity knowing everything is exactly as it needs to be for my lessons in growing up. Trusting that the universe will support me in all things brings peace of mind and grace. Being of assistance to others from my newfound love in my heart brings "Heaven on Earth".
