Mission statement: Awakening humanity to the Magnificence Within through the Power of Awareness.
Awareness: Awareness is what remains when we understand who we are not. To discover who we are not, we must first understand the roles of our mind, body, and our heart in relation to the Source of all that is.
Magnificent: Our natural state of being where love, joy and peace is what we are. A magnificent being is whole and complete. This is our True Self or Higher Self.
Love: Love is what we are. Love is Life, the creator and the primary ingredient of all of creation. When we are conscious, love is what naturally flows freely from us and we seek nothing in return. When we operate from a place of love, we see only the Magnificence in everything because we know love is all there is.
Fear: When our stories cause us to forget that we are love, fear is the warning sign designed to guide us back to love. When we are unconscious, we believe fear is real and it causes us to search for love outside of us in an attempt to feel happy. When we operate from fear, we hide our magnificence and expect others to do so, too!
True Self or Higher Self: Our natural state of being where love, joy and peace is what we are. Our True Self or Higher Self is whole and complete. It is the Essence of who we are before the well meaning adults in our lives began to program and condition us into becoming who they thought we should be. Our True Self or Higher Self knows it is one with all that is.
False Self or Lower Self: Who we believe ourselves to be when we unconsciously operate from the external conditioning we received (which is really in opposition to our True Self.) Our False Self or Lower Self always operates from fear. It believes that it is Me vs. the world.
Conscious: State of being or action made with deliberate intentions. Our consciousness expands when we welcome the Truth that exists within the realm of what we don’t know.
Unconscious: An action or choice made as a reaction to external experiences. Our unconscious state expands the more we operate within the realm of only what we know.
Dark night of the soul or Hero’s Journey: Scary place in our lives, where we have to make decisions that either move us closer to our True Self, or cause us to run back into our old comfort zone. Even if we don’t like it there. When embraced, the dark night of the soul, or the Hero’s Journey, we are consciously and deliberately facing who we are not.
Conscious community: A community of conscious creators who are committed to meeting and living from the seat of their True Self, while supporting others on the same journey.
Ego: That part of us that serves us until it doesn’t. At first it’s meant to protect us, to keep us from experiencing emotional pain, but when left unchecked, it cuts us off from accessing the realm of our True Self. The ego is formed out of the programming that is stored within our subconscious mind. The ego acts as the guard to our True Self or Higher Self.
Programming: All of the unconscious conditioning we received from the external world including our mother, father, teachers, preachers, media, friends, government, etc.
Mind: We are all in possession of a multi-faceted super computer, that when property used helps us navigate life. Our conscious mind comes complete with reasoning skills that allow us to interact with humanity. Our subconscious mind is a vast “filling cabinet” that stores all of our memories, along with providing us access to all of the knowledge available throughout the entire Universe.
Body: The body is the vessel that houses our mind and soul, and comes complete with genetic coding to make us breathe, sleep, eat, digest, among other functions, and facilitates our experience of what life has to offer, through our senses. Our lack of understanding the body’s role in our Human Journey diminishes it to an instrument we use to feel pleasure or pain.
Heart or Soul: We aren’t referring to the beating, pumping and pulsing organ, but the soul of a person. The Soul is the Essence of who we are, our True Self or Higher Self. Also, our heart or Soul is the body’s source of power, electricity, if you will.
Source: Our word for the starting point of life which also encompasses all that is. Just like a computer has to plug into an outlet to keep it up and running, we also are plugged into the source of all that is. Other common words for source are God, universe, Spirit, Light, Allah, Buddha, Jesus, Krishna, etc.
Energy vampires: People in our lives who suck the energy straight out of us, who take joy in influencing us to dim our light. Energy vampires are those with ego-controlled minds that love to create and feed off the drama!
Dimmer: You know that little button on the light switch we use to set the lighting low or turn up the light full blast? Awareness is the dimmer that when not used dims our own light , and when used, will let it shine!
Wasband: The man that “was” my husband.
Human Journey: This is the period from conception until our bodies expire when we are unaware of our Truth.
Spiritual Journey: Although we are all in a simultaneous human/spiritual journey, we refer to the Spiritual Journey as the timeframe from when we begin seeking the Truth of who we are, until we remember the Truth of what we are.
