HJ: Reality is subjectively experienced and created.  The truth is that we have far more power over every facet of our life experience than we realize.  It is so real and true to every last detail of our beliefs and emotions that it can frequently seem as if it is out of our control, because most of us are not aware of the myriad beliefs and perceptions we hold because they are so deeply ingrained into our psyche.  They literally form the basis of our experience of reality and therefore they go unseen and unquestioned because we believe they ARE reality.  Only through turning our gaze within and observing these patterns can we begin to deconstruct what we believe and bend our reality to our will through the restructuring of the most fundamental levels of our consciousness.  It sounds more complicated than it is, believe me.  The biggest stumbling block for most people is the steadfast clinging to their model of the world, even if it doesn’t serve them.  The only truly necessary ingredients to be successful are a desire to change and a willingness to let things that no longer serve you go.  A bit of motivation always helps...

As you move forward into the new world you are creating for yourself; you will be asked, moment to moment, to respond to it. You can choose to react strongly, remain neutral or simply walk away. Let your heart be your guide. ~ Creator

When you experience things as being magical, you are noticing evidence of the divine being present with you. If you understand that you are an aspect of Source having a physical experience, and that magic is Source energy making itself known in physicality, you must then be magic, too! Do you see? There is magic and divinity, in you and all around you. It is what you came from, it is what you are, and it is what you can create from. ~Archangel Gabriel

I don’t think heaven is some intangible, far-off place that we should focus so heavily on that we forget to enjoy our lives right now.

I think we can create heaven right here on earth, and I, like a lot of people, want to do everything I can to raise the collective vibration and make this world heavenly.

There are a few belief systems that resonate with me, and they all preach the idea that heaven can be found and/or created on earth.

Spiritualism, which I write about but don’t practice, endorses the idea that life is a journey filled with constant lessons. It also promotes the concept of consciousness living on after the body dies.

Most people who hear the term ‘spiritualism’ probably associate it with mediums and channeled messages that have to do with life after death, but there’s more to the religion than meets the eye.
