The Greatest Secret of All

by Marc Allen -

There are no secrets, just truths and powerful laws of creation that remain hidden from our awareness until we are ready to hear them.

The law of manifestation is just as concrete as the laws of physics — in fact, the law of manifestation incorporates the laws of physics and chemistry.

We have the power within us to clearly imagine what we wish to achieve. 

The more often we focus our powerful thoughts on our dreams and goals, the closer we come to realizing those dreams.

Of course there are far greater secrets than the law of manifestation: the secrets of a life well lived, the secrets of happiness and inner peace, the secrets of a life of ease and fulfillment, a miraculous life, a sacred life. Here is the greatest secret of all, in my words — take it in, and then express it in your own words.

We have a great purpose in life — a great mission, vocation and calling. We are here to grow, to evolve, to reach our full potential and contribute to the betterment of the world.

This is what has remained a secret for most of humanity:

We are far greater than we think we are. Our potential is vast.

Most of us have just barely begun to realize who we are and what we are capable of. We have had just brief glimpses of the far more expansive possibilities that are within our reach.

Our task, then, is to discover our unique contribution to the world and let it shine for all the world to see.

When we do it, we help others do it as well and the light grows and grows, until it becomes a powerful force for change in our lives and in the world.

There are three very simple things we can do to realize the greatest secret of all in our lives:

Love, Serve and Remember.

Remember what? Remember to love and serve, always.

Remember love overcomes fear. Love rises above fear and opens us up to a higher awareness. Love opens the gates of heaven.

We have heard it so many times, but we forget it, over and over: The Kingdom of Heaven is within. Remember who you are:

A child of God, an essential part of a miraculous creation. Remember that love finds the perfect partnership in all we do.

To love is to respect and cherish all of creation, and to rise above fear and the need to control, to rise above all forms of domination and exploitation into endlessly creative partnerships with all.

We choose the cup of life instead of the sword of fear — in the words of Riane Eisler, we choose the chalice, not the blade.

Remember the brilliantly shining words of Ramana Maharshi:

“The end of all wisdom is love, love, love.” 

This is not just some great moral advice, something to do because we want to be good; this is the very practical, down-to-earth key that opens the doors to a new life and a new world and shows us the great view from the top of the pyramid of humanity.

In everything you do, love and serve yourself and others. 

This is the secret that guides you every moment to create the life of your dreams and a world that works for all. This is the end of every path of study, every worthwhile philosophy.

This is the greatest secret of all: Loving and serving yourself and others is the key to fulfillment, happiness, and inner peace.

You know the secret now. 

Put it in your own words and remember it, act on it and live it. Together, working in partnership, we can discover how to live the life of our dreams and along the way help create a world of peace and prosperity for us all.

Transcending into Love

by Dean Noblett -

Our human experience is one full of extraordinary opportunities, both on a personal and collective level. What lies before us in the unfolding of each present moment is the ultimate gift of understanding of who we are from the deepest recesses of our being and our purpose for being here at this time.

We all seem to have a common yearning to find meaning in what is happening to and around us in our world. And now a sense of urgency is rising up in the challenges we have created to help us remember where this journey is leading us.

That may sound a little strange, but when we look at the nature of the human condition and what motivates us, it is always in the face of adversity and struggle where the greatest awakenings occur. Many have found a real sense of purpose to their lives out of some of the harshest experiences.

We have been motivated into action to assist others who also have suffered from similar circumstances and find comfort and meaning through sharing our wisdom when most needed.

From the beginning times on our planet, humanity has witnessed and participated in the most extreme behaviors towards each other and our beloved Mother Earth.

Birth and death in the physical world are continuous cycles with miraculous and wondrous events occurring simultaneously with the tragic and horrific.

Seemingly, we have been caught on the karmic wheel of physical birth, death and re-birth and with that, many unexplained circumstances and happenings that challenge the very nature of our existence. With such a large number of people perishing at the hands of others and so much pain and suffering, the question always is the same: why?

All-Inclusive Unconditional Love

If we are to believe and trust that there is a higher purpose for everything and there is a Divine presence we are connected to that loves us beyond measure, then the message being conveyed to us from the great unknown is one of drastic measures.

Are we going to continue with old fear-based patterns of behavior that are very destructive, or are we ready to embrace ourselves and each other in the light of all-inclusive unconditional love?

It seems simple enough in theory, but our constant challenge is to remain neutral in regards to the unexplainable when we see those who are still lost and responsible for causing much of the pain and suffering. And yet, after all we have been through, we continue to get caught in the external hologram where the master of all illusions dominates our attention and continues to feed our ego.

By now we understand that we are both the cause and the effect.

Fortunately, most reading this already understand that to change anything in the external reality we have to change from within first.

Our immediate life experience and that which we give our attention to in the collective hologram are direct reflections of our state of consciousness. We know there is also the “golden rule” to do unto others as we would have them do to us…the law of the circle.

The acceptance of this universal principle has been gradually gaining momentum as we have bravely faced our own demons and taken responsibility for our reality.

This is the key to setting ourselves free.

The realization that everything we believed about ourselves from what we were told, taught, shown and exposed to as innocent children was mostly delusional.

The misinformation and mistreatment we all experienced wasn’t a deliberate slur on our very being. It was mostly projected onto us from the hurt and pain the previous generation had suffered and misinterpreted as “just how life is”. Many did not have the awareness or knowledge of how to break the chains passed on from parent to child and acted out from their own pain.

Being unconscious to their behaviour towards us did not mean they didn’t love us. They were only limited in their expression of that love, and therefore disabled through their own personal experiences of pain and suffering. The love was and is always present, just most often concealed beneath the hurt.

Open Fully 

Now, with the awareness and understanding we have evolved into through our tireless efforts of seeking answers, we now know with certainty that we are the ones to set ourselves, and those who came before us, free. There are no other here to do it for us.

In fact, we are the only ones who can open fully to the flow of love and heal all that has chained us to the illusion. The illusion is all that is not based in love itself.

In other words, we love ourselves free by illuminating all past pain and suffering in the light of source energy of “all that is” – what we already are. Through this highest act of self love, which is inclusive of all of humanity (since we are all one), in turn sets our ancestors free as well. What a concept!

All unresolved feelings of being unloved, unwanted, not being good enough, not feeling worthy and so on (we are all-too-familiar with these by now) are in need of our loving attention. We are our own source of unlimited, boundless love.

As the old wounds present themselves - or are triggered - all we need do is to love that aspect that has been denied from the past, forgive all involved and set ourselves free. What this means is that our forgiveness unties our burdens and limitations caused by others in the past, which frees them because we are free. They were bound by our own judgement of them.

This ultimate gift to ourselves then becomes the very same gift we give to those before us to dissolve all that is not founded in love. The important thing to remember here is to give ourselves the love and compassion we felt we didn’t receive from our parents, guardians, teachers, spouses, friends, etc. which distorted the self image we inadvertently painted for ourselves.

From here we are then setting all souls free from the bondage of miscreation and the fear that generated the illusion of that reality.

To take this a step further, as we fully awaken to the God/Goddess within each of us, we effortlessly and naturally become and express that Divine Intelligence, which is who we are.

We become God-like through loving ourselves as God does, which then sets us free. Another way of looking at it is in order to be love we must live by the concept of giving and receiving the love that we are. This can only be done by opening to receive the Divine love of our Mother/Father God and giving it to ourselves.

When we do this our love is automatically flowing through us as a vehicle of the Divine Source and then we allow it to be expanded throughout humanity, the planet and way beyond. We don’t have to try to do or be anything but the fullest and purest expression of that Source energy.

By loving anything and everything else about ourselves that has been denied this love through external means, we are liberated and set free.

Many of us have been working on this concept for what seems like an eternity, and now we are almost home. As the light/love frequency has been increasing on this planet the opportunity to move easily through any remnants of the past are now at hand.

With the surfacing of any old unloving experiences it only takes the recognition of what has come up to be healed or loved in that moment, and to give that love to yourself from your God self just as you desired it from others (who were unable to give it to you because they themselves were chained to their own pain and suffering). Remember, “Forgive them Lord, for they know not what they did!”

The fifth dimension experience is now becoming a reality. 

As we embrace every aspect of our human experience in the light of unconditional love (and when we think about it, how else can we learn or remember what that means?), we transcend into love itself where all things are possible.

It’s only when we think it can’t get any better that new beginnings are found in the eternal now presenting new and exciting opportunities that are literally “out of this world”.

The veils of separation are dissolving with every breath we take and are setting in place a reunion that has been planned for eons. It is unfolding right before us. What a journey it has been!

Life in the Present

by Dr. Wayne Dyer -

I’ve discovered that I have greater success with living life in the present moment when I remove judgment from what I’m experiencing. Rather than making an event a bad or a good experience, I find myself being in the “isness” of the moment; that is, what I’m feeling is much more helpful than why it isn’t what I think it should be.

This is called allowing rather than resisting what is. Even if I wish to change the moment, it’s far more useful to allow it without any judgment and then notice everything I can about it.

The more I stay out of my good-thought/bad-thought routine, the more I’m able to just be with it. 

I love to observe the instant without any judgment. Birds simply allow whatever comes their way, no matter if the wind picks up or the rain comes, and I work at being like one of those fabulous creatures.

The way I do so is to ask myself this question: “What’s happening right here and right now, independent of my opinion about it?”

Then I notice all that I can take in—the sky, the wind, the sounds, the light, the insects, the temperature, the people, the judgments…everything.

I stay free of opinions and just let myself be. In these moments, I don’t need an excuse or an explanation for anything.

Even while I sit here and write, I’m practicing being present and simply allowing the words to flow though my heart to my hand and onto the page with a total absence of judgment.

When I eat my lunch, I work at just being present in a state of gratitude for my food and the experience of eating, rather than using those moments to think about all that I have to do in the evening or passing judgment on the taste, color, or smell of my lunch experience.

I try to keep in mind that whenever I react against any form that life takes in the present moment, I’m treating the now as some kind of impediment or even as my enemy.

As a child you knew how to be totally present. I encourage you to become an observer of little unspoiled children. 

Notice how they don’t react to every little disturbance in their world and how they’re in the moment, and then in the next moment, and so on. You can use this kind of non-judgment to practice your new explanation-free identity.

Total immersion in the present, without judging—that is, simply allowing yourself to be—is a great way to rid yourself of these long-held thinking habits that I’m calling “excuses.”

Be without judgment and you’ll never feel the need for some tiresome excuse to use up your precious seconds, such as “I’m too old” or “It will take a long time” or “It will be too difficult.”

Instead, you’ll be in the now, welcoming your constant present-moment companion, your Source of being, which knows nothing of excuses and doesn’t know how to be anyplace but here, now.

As one of my spiritual predecessors, Dale Carnegie, once wrote: “One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon—instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.”

Become one in the present moment with all of the roses that show up in your life. Stay present: every second, every minute and every hour. 

Every day of your life is full of present moments of infinite value.  You won’t find God yesterday or tomorrow—your Source is always only here, now.

I've Learned

by Omer B. Washington -

I've learned that you cannot make someone love you. All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.

I've learned that you shouldn't be so eager to find out a secret. It could change your life forever.

I've learned that everyday you should reach out and touch someone. People love that human touch - holding hands, a warm hug or just a friendly pat on the back.

I've learned that I have a lot to learn.
