REALIZATION

I believe we are in unity; one interlocking link with a Universal Consciousness.

I am this energy every moment, every day, of every year I breathe. We all are. My intuition tells me this Universal Consciousness is similar to what we feel on this Earth plane as unconditional love.

After years of practicing as an intuitive and interacting with family, friends and colleagues, I have gathered that we are all searching for this one thing called Love. Not any old love we share with a boyfriend, parent or even child. What I attempt to define is without restriction; it has no words to express itself.

I have felt its power, and it has prevailed for me time and time again. It is Magnificent and Magical. It has the ability to cross all threads in time and space. It cannot be bought, found or even denied. Unfathomable. It can heal with mere thought and from it emerges the meaning of Trust.

As far back as I can remember, I felt a physical separation from this unconditional state. I think at one point, we all have.

I was challenged by my family’s traditions and what society hoped for me. I struggled with feeling inhibited in a world where all I wanted was to be liberated. Their ideal relationships, politics and religion—even God being a male who lived beyond my reach—possessed so many requirements that felt impossible to fulfill.

All of it simply did not resonate with me as an everlasting unlimited support system.

I had no choice but to discover the true meaning of faith; however influenced I felt, I had to put my trust into someone else’s words and actions over my own. I was torn by a conflict between my head and heart, and still I continued to search. I knew I would not settle for anything less than a path that would help me comprehend the meaning of unconditional love.

_________________________________

I remember it was a weekday morning. I was watching the sunrise sitting near the ocean on Fire Island when it occurred to me that the dysfunction in my life and all of my questioning had forced me to choose something different.

It was then when I made the decision to stop searching. I did my best to detach from the limited perception of what I knew and what I was told to be or do. This did not happen overnight—but the timing was just right. I discovered that what I felt was displaced so long ago. A newfound feeling of peace and a sense of courage would be at the foundation of every step I would take from that point on. In the search for unconditional love, I had discovered my integrity.

TRUTH

We are unconditional love; a blissful state that resembles an earthbound love we hope to find one day. I do know the attempt to find it would lead to an endless journey, as it is impossible to find something outside ourselves that already resides within us. We will need to find patience on our quest to rediscover what integrity truly means to us.

We must be ready to make a decision with the hope that an opportunity will present itself; a possible option for us to return to our natural state of living without provision. This journey of exploration will begin here and enable us to embrace all of life’s experiences—the happiness and heartbreak—and lead us to know what works for us and what feels right. Ultimately, we will come to know our truth.

UNITY

Integrity is not only to be true or honest. It is a sense of peace. It’s holding ourselves accountable. When in integrity, there is no questioning our identity because we are certain of who we are: a wholeness residing within our being.

Unity. We express compassion not only for ourselves, but for all whom cross our path.

Oneness. We do not identify what is right or wrong; however, we act out of the Right-Action and not a Wrong-Action. Or, simply put, what actions we believe within ourselves to be the right course versus a misguided one.

The origin of the word integrity is compared to integer: something complete on its own, like a whole number that is not a fraction. Consider this: when a number is split, it is still whole. For example: when the number 1 is split, it becomes a 0.5 and a 0.5. The split is evident, yet each division can become whole again. We know this because our education has taught us the conflict or separation happening is temporary; we are fully aware the 0.5 came from the 1, which is the original source. A whole, single source.

CERTAINTY

When we experience challenges, we may feel disconnected from our Higher Intelligence (also known as our Higher-Self). This conflict replaces the feeling of oneness with uncertainty, doubt and fear.

This struggle is real, and perhaps it may help us shift. It is possibly pushing us to look at ourselves in a new way. Although it will require a bit of work, we must hold on to our integrity and be patient. When you remember you are aligned and supported, living divided from the whole is not an option. We are complete, even when we feel disconnected or separated from our unity.

When we recall that we are still connected to our original source and who we truly are, we will no longer just make it through the events of our lives, but rather focus on creating a life filled with Love and Infinite Possibilities.

In my world, there is no such thing as coincidence. I believe this book is in your hands because it is where it needs to be. It has found you so that you may prepare for this modern spiritual movement.

I know we are on the verge of a powerful discovery. I am also aware we have some time before our world moves forward, merging the gap between science and spirit. Even though it may take decades or a few centuries, we should not concern ourselves with this because you and I have chosen a path of transformation and inspiration. It is possible you have been bestowed the responsibility to set a living example to inspire others, so at one point many more will have a clear understanding of our link to the Higher-Self and the Omnipresence.

I feel it is possible for all living beings to experience Bliss, a place where suffering is optional. The words written and examples offered to the reader is a starting place. The breath with The Eight Second Rule and the tools available to help us remain in our center can be your beginning. If you are committed to Living Aligned, you will progress in your practice with awareness, with patience to live from the Heart Center and with guidance from your Higher-Self.

Trusting in our Higher Intelligence becomes our natural state once more, recognizing the oneness of our unconditional love and peace.

INSIGHT

I recall walking down the narrow hallway with my second grade class, making my way to the school library. Soft spoken, I asked the librarian for a book on my birth sign, Virgo. This small book sat perfectly in the center of my palms as I read, You will be an amazing nurse, teacher or someone in service to the community. I sighed and thought, that’s it. I shut the book with a feeling of disappointment.

Arriving home that afternoon, I pleaded with my mom to branch out to the public library. Happily, she agreed. I had a master plan to discover more on this fascinating topic of astrology.

I was intrigued with the subject of planets moving throughout our solar system, and in some way, aligning with my life events. The planets Mercury and Venus seemed to be important; however, at the mere age of seven, these topics were not easily comprehended. Nonetheless, they opened the door to what would become my life’s work and pilgrimage.

Crossing the threshold of adolescence, I began to have a stronger intuitive insight; an internal voice which sounded much more confident than I felt. It supported me throughout my days of being bullied and abused, allowing me to feel some type of assurance—possibly even safe at times. What had truly occurred was the beginning of a deep-rooted trust within myself.

This act of trusting had appeared odd, as it defied the normal stages of growing up and figuring things out. I made difficult choices to develop a state of surrender, acting on Right-Action: what felt right for me; not what I was told could be the right thing to do.

This was not an easy task. It left me feeling like I had a great responsibility. Most of my relationships, including friendships, did not always understand me. There were so many moments in my life I felt burdened, and consequently at times, isolated. Although it felt challenging, I knew somewhere deep within my heart I had made the best possible choices for my life. I could sleep at night and stand up for what I believed in with no guilt or regret.

My conclusion was this: I had discovered my Higher-Self.

Reminiscing on this experience, I realize I’ve always believed there was something beyond this earthbound realm: an Omnipresence, a God or Higher Consciousness; it did
