We were born with the unlimited potential to intentionally create (use the law of attraction) to manifest all of our heart's desires. Together, as Conscious Leaders guided by the Divine, we have the Mind Power necessary to co-create a sustainable, harmonious, peaceful, and prosperous world.  And, we can do this while also attracting and creating a passionate, loving, rich, healthy life with all of our personal dreams fulfilled.

I Feel Guilty for Having So Much When So Many Are Suffering

Category: Conscious Evolution,Conscious Leadership,LOA doesn't work for me,conscious creation,global transformation,law of attraction — Anisa @ 6:07 pm

Dear Anisa,
Last evening I watched Ann Curry visit one of the little
towns in Ohio where people are starving, children are ill
and dirty and have no food. The whole town seems to have
lost their livelihood and is ill-equipped by skill or
education to do much else. Jobs seem temporary when they do
come and even with the little income, the current economy
and abandonment to foreign resources leaves minimal options
for most. The town featured is not the only place where
poverty in the midst of surrounding luxury sharply
contrasts, but many of those featured were middle class
citizens with jobs and homes at one time.

I look at who I am, what I have, what I do on a daily basis
and I am so blessed. But I also feel a huge sense of guilt
and sadness….I cannot factor in the LOA and the ability to
create and how these concepts are not utilized…If we make
this work for us, why doesn’t it work for everyone? Is it
lack of awareness? I would like your thoughts on this as I
struggle. – Karen

A:

Thank you for your heartfelt sharing and question. I too am
finding myself more and more stirred by what’s happening
around the world and by something I can only describe as an
inner awakening. I sense that we are being called forth,
compelled by our connected sense of wholeness to do
something more, to fulfill a greater purpose and to co-
create a better, more conscious and harmonious world.

The challenges we face (sans excessive climate change) have
always been present. However, for the first time in
history, we are conscious of our creative powers and our
interconnectedness. The number of people awakening to a
world beyond survival, maintenance, selfish ideals and
materialism is reaching a critical mass – a tipping point
leaning in the direction of a conscious revolution and
intentional evolution. From my perspective, there’s a reason
why we are more acutely aware of the tragic conditions now
than we were previously – it’s part of the Divine Plan;
calling us forth to action and ultimately global
transformation.

I really want to make this point – so let me say it another
way. The fact that we are aware of those that are suffering
(in that small town in Ohio or anywhere else on the planet)
AND the fact that they are suffering are both active
partners in the Divine Plan to awaken us to our roles and
responsibilities as conscious creators born to co-create a
better world.

The message is not just coming from those of us who are
untouched by the financial crisis, for example, but also
from those that are in the middle of it. And, it’s not just
that the Universal Principles don’t work for them. It’s
that the Universal Laws are at work launching a higher
purpose!

The following excerpt from my article, “Why Bad Things
Happen to Good People” does not satisfy our need for a neat
and tidy explanation, but perhaps you too can find peace in
the consistency of the Universal Laws:

“….combining the principle of teleology with the many layers
of consciousness we find answers. I’m not suggesting the
answers are satisfactory or comforting, but they are at
least answers that are congruent with what we believe about
the Universal Laws of Creation. Consider, for example, the
evolutionary changes that, as far as I can tell, always
ensues chaos, destruction and tragedy. We can’t help but
wonder if somehow super-intentions along with the multiple
layers of consciousness were at work inspiring the end
result?

Viktor Frankl, considered one of the most profoundly
influential psychiatrists of our time wrote in his book,
Man’s Search for Meaning:

“We who lived in concentration camps can remember the men
who walked through the huts comforting others, giving away
their last piece of bread. They may have been few in number,
but they offer sufficient proof that everything can be taken
from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms–to
choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to
choose one’s own way.” (-Viktor Frankl, M.D., Ph.D., (March
26, 1905 – September 2, 1997) was an Austrian neurologist,
psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor.)

Imagine for a moment that Victor Frankl’s story, listed as
one of the ten most influential books in America, had never
happened? Is it possible that the Divine Order (possibly his
soul-choice) inspired not only his Nazi concentration camp
experience but his survival as a match to his higher
calling; a match to a super-intention? If his life purpose
was to arouse the spiritual liberation of millions of souls
that found his work then who are we to say that what
occurred for him was not a match?”

I am one of the millions that have been transformed by his
story. And, although it’s really difficult to accept that
pain/suffering may be required to awaken, or to find
liberation, I find peace in the fact that there really is a
Divine Plan that we cannot see. And, yet… maybe as we
awaken to the call, we really do see it because we have an
important role to play?

Even the invention of the internet was called forth from our
collective desire, even before we were aware of it, to have
instant and immediate access to knowledge and our global
community. The internet is the out-picturing of what we, in
the conscious culture, might imagine the “Akashic records”
would look like, if we had to draw out the architectural
design, for example. We now have access to anyone, anywhere
on the planet at any time and instant access to any and all
forms of knowledge, history, innovations, movements, news,
etc.

We are so intimately connected with our brothers and sisters
around the globe, there’s now an endless supply of
opportunities for not only personal fulfillment and global
contribution but also the 24-7 removal of our ignorance and
obliviousness with the onslaught of ever-streaming bad news.
It’s gloriously and heinously at our fingertips at all
times.

Underneath it all, we’ve always known about the suffering.
Somewhere on our planet there has always been someone(s)
suffering through persecution, war, genocide, extreme
poverty, violence, starvation, hunger, lack, illness, and
all manners of emotional, physical, mental, and spiritual
anguish. But now, we are not only aware of the suffering
we are poised to make the decision between defeat by
darkness or intentional advancement by illumination.

Here’s the exciting part – We are the Change-makers. We are
the awakened. We are the ‘chosen’ ones – not because we’ve
been chosen, but because we have chosen to awaken. Many of
us, who have much to be grateful for, have utilized the
power of our minds for personal gain and fulfillment. We’ve
read the books, attended the seminars, and invested millions
of dollars on personal growth, self-development, and
spiritual enlightenment.

And, we absolutely get to be grateful and proud of our
accomplishments. It has been a necessary part of our
journey to create wealth, comfort, and full bellies. When
people stay in ‘survival’ mode, they are less capable of
creative activism. We HAD to accept our unlimitedness and
manifest the cars, and the comforts, in order to experience
the possibilities of expansiveness. There’s zero shame in
achieving prosperity, even while those around us suffer, so
long as we realize that at some point our prosperity will be
meaningless and burdensome unless we expand and grow into
the ‘Enlightened Species’ we were born to become. This
enlightened species will not only have personal fulfillment
and abundance but will join together in one collective
spirit to transform our world’s problems.

I’ve heard Barbara Marx Hubbard, world-renowned futurist and
evolutionary leader speak of the mass traumas and global
crises that face us as “evolutionary drivers.” These events
are not without purpose but instead are propelling us -
driving us towards becoming what she calls “Universal
Humans.”

We are the Universal Humans being awakened to our incredible
potential as evolved, conscious, congruent, compassionate,
intentional, innovative, and co-creative species destined to
create a new and better world.

<<<< Big Deep Breath >>>>> Wow…. How can we consciously
create a better vision, beginning now?

Spiritual Mind Treatment for Faith and Guidance During Challenging Times

Category: Conscious Leadership,Creative Manifesting — Anisa @ 4:36 pm

“Thinking will not overcome fear but action will.” W. Clement Stone

I acknowledge that there is but one Presence and Power; one Omnipotent, all-providing Supply and I am intimately and irrevocably fused with this Source. We are ONE! The Divine Source is Love, Beauty, Peace, Harmony, Wisdom, and Prosperity and therefore so am I. I embrace the Truth that my Source and Supply is instant and immediate. I passionately hold close this Truth in my heart and soul, knowing that all is well for it cannot be another other way. If I am intimately and irrevocably merged with Source then it is impossible for me to have any wants, needs, or unfulfilled desires. I give thanks for this Truth and I allow for the physical expression of what I know to be true to be seen, heard, and experienced now.

And, as I acknowledge this to be the Truth of me, I welcome this as the truth for all who read or hear these words. We are connected at our core and what is True for me, must be True for you. Therefore, I give thanks that our desires for ease, financial well-being, comfort, health, peace, and love are fulfilled, now.

I acknowledge that while I have allowed distressing news, and economic reports to sway my belief in my unlimitedness, I am ready to return to faith. I know I am not alone in my diversion. I know that as I pray, there are many who suffer far greater diversions and disconnection from the Essence of WHO they are – as unlimited beings, full of pure potential and unstoppable power. I seek to know the heart of harmony that being blessedly connected with the Divine always provides. I find myself tranquil and comforted with the Spiritual Presence that is inside, outside, and everywhere I look. I pray for the same tranquility for my friends, family, community, and world.

I welcome the opportunity for growth through the challenges we face and I embrace with zest and enthusiasm my role! I am thrilled to have this opportunity to support a New World Order full of Peace, Acceptance, Love, Prosperity, and Enlightenment for all of God’s children – that’s every sentient being on this planet!

I recognize and give thanks for the friction and contrast as it comes forth. I realize that our differences, perception shifts, and perceived challenges are critical components to our evolution. I embrace the obstacles as a fun and adventurous opportunity to stretch myself, to show up with even greater intention, awareness, and conviction. I choose to SEE what’s possible and find creative solutions to every quandary. I claim my right as a Divine Creator and therefore I do not flinch at the sight of contrast! Instead I scoff at the notion that I am powerless! I know that, with my connection to Source, Father/Mother/God, all things are possible. And, when I try to take on the world alone, I stop, take a breath and hand all my worries, fears, doubts, and wrong-thinking over to Spirit. It’s God’s job, not mine, to handle those fears and doubts. I am relieved knowing this and take confident, inspired action now.

My compassionate heart flows effortlessly to myself and to others. I SEE the God in YOU and I SEE the God in me. I am reminded that everywhere I look there is the evidence of the Divine Presence. I embrace this awareness and rest on the assurance this brings. The Divine Presence responds faithfully and predictably to my primary thoughts. Therefore, I send forth a clear signal for PEACE and PROSPERITY NOW.

I am grateful that I cease believing in the illusion of Time. I am grateful that time has become to me what it is – nothing more than a way to discuss possibilities. What was possible before is possible now. What I see for the future I claim for my present. I allow time to fold towards me, allowing me to receive the avalanche of abundance that I had projected for my future – now. Time does not exist. Therefore, I am pleasantly energized by the complete fruition of my goals now. Yes, I accept that action is required and that building great things requires stepping stones and building blocks. And, I am grateful that the WAY is revealed and that way is prosperous, creatively resourceful, and delightfully brilliant now.

I seek ways to give back and to support others. I am joyfully delighted to be able to support the reckoning of oneness with all of my fellow conscious creators! And, as we focus on giving, we receive; as we focus on the ESSENCE of what we choose for ourselves by providing that vibrational ESSENCE now, we lift our lives up to the high road of abundance, harmony, grace, and peace. For this I am grateful and blessed.

May those who are struggling, remember their worth, now. May those who are separate from their Unlimited Power, find their way back. May those who need support, compassion, mercy, and a reminder find this path now, and courageously step-up to their inner knowing and calling. May those who need protection while they are remembering their Divinity be instantly protected and securely restored. Whatever their struggle, I pray that the strength and confidence be returned while they find comfort, passion, and resolve in the purposes of the struggle.

I acknowledge there are many times when we are unclear and confused about the path we walk and often the energy to continue eludes us. Never the less, I claim our energetic restoration now. I allow every breath I take to restore my faith, my conviction, my energetic well-being. I am filled with sustenance and I am fueled to achieve great things now. The energy, stamina, and vigor I require fills me like never before. I hold strong to this now and I give thanks. I am energy! I am a powerful creator!

I claim our return to wellness on all levels now. I give thanks for this Truth and I release it into the Law where it is made whole and manifests now.

So be it! Amen.

Namaste

How to reflect upon your situation and create your own Spiritual Mind Treatment:

1) The first step is to acknowledge the ONE PRESENCE and POWER (whatever you call it – God, Jesus, Buddha, Allah, Spirit, The Universe, etc.) And, acknowledge the its omnipotent omnipresence.

2) Next, claim your DIVINE RIGHT to ALL this Power and Presence. If GOD is LOVE, so are you. If GOD is PROSPERITY, so are you. Claim it. Own it. This is BEING unlimited and is essential to the creative process.

3) Then, Give thanks for what you want, as if you already HAVE it now!

4) Finally, let it go. It is done, therefore, hand it over to your Higher Power and release it. Detach and prepare to receive. Watch for signals and guidance as you will be shown how to take action from here!

I hold the vision of YOU claiming the Divine Health, Wealth, and Harmony that is Already YOURS!
Please post your prayers and comments! I welcome them!

Greener Consciousness and the Dangers of Plastic Bags

Category: Conscious Leadership — Anisa @ 3:48 pm

In my article today, “The Conscious Leaders Way to Respond to Global Warming“, I make mention of a few ways that my family is waking up and taking aligned action towards behaving more responsibly and positively.

One thing we’re doing is to phase out how we use plastic bags around here – (it’s not as easy as I would have liked… even the grocery store clerks snicker at me when I bring my own bags in.)

After watching the PowerPoint show titled, “The Dangers of Plastic Bags” (created by Vishal Mody, the Taft High School, Chicago science teacher that has inspired her students to petition Illinois to become a plastic-bag-free state) my kids and I were floored at just how blind and ignorant we’ve been!

I wasn’t able to find an official site where you could view the powerpoint presentation online, so I’ve uploaded it to my site and you can see it here: http://www.creatavision.com/consciousleader/The_Dangers_of_Plastic_Bags.pps

If you live in Illinois, be sure to visit their petition here.

If you live elsewhere, start your own!

Together, one step at a time, we are co-creating an entirely healthy, wealthy, and peaceful planet. It’s all about the love! So, let’s not get angry- let’s get passionate! Take one inspired action, now!

(My family thanks Dr. Jackie with Innate Chiropractic for keeping her spiritual activist flame burning and keeping me informed!  Thanks for sending me the email about plastic bags!)

We really can co-create a complete and total return to balance on our planet!

Category: Conscious Leadership — Anisa @ 1:04 pm

You are a Divine Child of God; born to have all that you desire: passion, love, purpose, prosperity, wisdom, wholeness and joy. This is not something that you have to earn but something that was granted to you upon birth. Abundant living is your Birthright and it’s up to you to claim it.

Right now, we (you, me, and the world at large) are experiencing a massive shift in consciousness. We are transforming from segregated races of unconscious, ignorant humans to one race of conscious, intentional creators. Movies like The Secret, The Moses Code, What the Bleep?!?! and best-selling books such as Conversations with God, The Way of the Peaceful Warrior are reaching the masses and finally helping us to create a Tipping Point… now, more and more will know the Truth: We have the innate ability to employ the power of our minds, the power of our subconscious thoughts, to harness the awesome creative power of the All-That-Is; to consciously and intentionally manifest the life of our dreams; the life we were born to live – AND co-create a complete and total return to harmonious balance for our planet and fellow humans.

Together, we can master our lives and become masters of The Universal Laws of Creation. Thank you for joining me!
