Living Consciously

Life is all about the choices that we make and how conscious or aware we are when we make those choices.  We have choices when we pick a life partner or not, when we choose to bear off-spring or not, what food we will or will not eat today, where we will or will not go today.  It’s all about choices and for me it’s about doing what’s right – - not just for me but for my family, my home, my environment and my planet.

Earth is a living, breathing entity and so far she has been a beautiful home for many species for millions of years.  So why is it that our species in this day and age is so destructive to Earth and ultimately ourselves?  What sets us apart from the billions or trillions that have travelled on Earth before us?  My belief is that they lived consciously, and with revered gratitude each and every moment that they existed.  What is it going to take to get the attention of the human race of today to start taking care of the hand that feeds us?

And what about us?  What makes us so destructive towards ourselves?  From what I can see, the human race is far more self-destructive today than ever before.  For reasons which elude most of us we are compelled to ingest unhealthy foods, consume mass quantities of alcohol or drugs, surround ourselves with toxic relationships and believe that we are not the captains of our own ships.  What’s up with THAT??

Every day we have an opportunity to create our day and our universe.  Several years ago I used to describe myself as a tumbleweed – I would just blow where ever the winds took me.  Now I see myself as a conscious creator in my universe or my movie of my life.

Did you know that you can make a conscious choice to have an excellent day filled with miracles or you can choose to create a day of misery?  Your brain sends

out actual frequencies that can be measured by sophisticated machinery and medical instruments as it sends out this information and your universe will begin to shape itself to respond to the nature of your song.  When I was a teenager my grandmother shared some of her wisdom with me.  She said quite simply, “What goes around, comes around”.  So if I make up my mind in the morning that I am going to go out and be a conscious member of humanity and be the very best that I can be, then I am going to have an awful lot of power behind me to see that it happens.  But if I have even the tiniest bit of doubt, that will come to fruition as well.  I can’t say, ‘Yeah, but what if… “.  I have to believe with all of my being and know that it is so.  That belief is what will propel me to move in the direction of creation. Believe it and know it.

I have a favorite quote that I would like to share with you.  I have a copy of this on my bathroom mirror that has been laminated.  I read it in the morning and at night when getting ready for bed.  I love to take this into dreamtime with me.  I hope you enjoy it.

“I believe that you are great…  I know that there is something magnificent about you.  Regardless of what has happened to you in your life.  Regardless of how young or how old you think you might be.  The moment you begin to think properly- – this “something” that is within you… this power that is within you… that’s greater than the world, will begin to emerge.  It will take over your life.  It will feed you.  It will guide you, protect you, and it will sustain your very existence if you let it.  Now THAT is what I know for sure.”

Reverend Dr. Michael Beckwith

Quote from the film “The Secret”.


So as you begin the rest of your day and the rest of your life, go out and be the magnificent creator that you are meant to be.  I believe that you are great…
