IN THE (K)NOW
YOU CHOOSE AND DECIDE YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE
We just need to be aware that you choose and
decide your experience. We make these decisions
every single second of every single minute of
every single day. Every moment offers countless
slavenka.weebly.com
opportunities to experience ourselves the way we know ourselves.
We can always choose to be love or fear, to be truth or lie, to be God or
separated from God, to be violent or non-violent, and so on. Not only that
we can choose, but we choose. This means to be God - to have the power
to choose to experience love because you are Love, to experience the
kindness because you are kindness, to experience peace, because you are
peace. Next time you face a situation, just stop for a moment and observe
it. Observe yourself. Observe your reactions. Observe your thoughts.
And then CHOOSE to be who you truly are.
At the moment of greatest fear, choose to be
fearless because you know that you are eternal
pure consciousness, pure love. At the moment of
greatest grief choose to be joy, because you are
unaffected by worldly drama. Just do not pretend
and lie to yourself. Admit any feeling that arises.
slavenka.weebly.com
Allow yourself to be sad, angry, to be
whatever. All is God, so do not judge and
reject any part of your being. Just be aware
that you choose to be that. And if you do
not like it, choose differently. If you do not
like to be angry, choose to be in peace. If
you don’t like to be sad, choose to be happy.
YOUR EXPERIENCE IS YOUR BEST TEACHER
slavenka.weebly.com
Whichever choice you make in life, you will feel the consequence. And that’s
what life is for. Feeling the consequences of our choices is our best teacher
in life. If you try to escape the consequences of your actions and choices, if
you prolong till tomorrow or a day after tomorrow, or the next year, what
happens? You get new body and bear consequences of choices you cannot
even remember. And then you feel like a victim. So use this opportunity to
experience and feel the consequences of your choices from this lifetime.
OBSERVE THE MECHANISMS
When you experience the consequences of your
own choices, you can ask yourself: is this beneficial
for me? Ego will say then – oh this pain, I am so
miserable, I am so terrible, what have I done, etc.
slavenka.weebly.com
Ego will blame itself whole life to keep you in the low state of
consciousness. And your Spirit, the consciousness will experience
the consequences and simply say – this is not done in this way, I go
on, now I live differently, there won’t be anything like – look how
terrible I am, look what I have done, I’m gulity, punish me, none of that.
Consciousness and awareness experience and then decide what to do
next. Mind experiences and then gets depressed and blames itself for years.
EGO OR SPIRIT?
slavenka.weebly.com
Ego overpowers, mind overpowers and says - I’m terrible. That’s what ego
and mind say. Look at my mistakes, I’ve wasted so many years, everything
I do is bad, I’m good at nothing, I’m helpless and so on. Then self blame
kicks in, shame over what you did, and that’s the bottom of consciousness.
Mental and ego will always keep you down there, in suffering, guilt, apathy,
shame. You cannot wake up that way. And what does consciousness,
your Spirit do? It sees all the trash, might be unpleasantly surprised,
but won’t fall into shame and guilt, won’t give up. The consciousness
says - now we see that it’s not done this way. What shall I do now?
SAINT AND SINNER
slavenka.weebly.com
The only difference between a saint and a sinner is
that the saint hasn’t given up.
DIVINE PATIENCE
Patience is the foundation of calmness, the foundation of
true ability to work creatively. The more patience you have,
more you can achieve in all areas of life, including self-
realization. Patience should not be passive. Of what use
is to be patient while doing nothing? True patience is an
active state. We should patiently, step by step, transform
slavenka.weebly.com
negativity in ourselves in accordance with the highest Consiousness. In this
process, we aquire divine patience. First we acquire patience with ourselves
which is the foundation of patience with others. Without patience, we
become spiritually weak. Purity of thoughts, feelings and actions, patience and
persistence bring good health and bliss. Anger comes from a lack of patience.
Cultivation of patience is the only remedy for anger. Trying to win over and
control anger do not lead to elimination of anger in our lives. Developing
patience automatically reduces anger. To remove the darkness, we need to
bring the light. Similarly, to eliminate anger, we need to cultivate patience.
BE A WAVE
slavenka.weebly.com
A very good way to free yourself from the low vibrational fields is to use the
waves. Waves of energy, life, opportunities, possibilities, choices and changes,
which are constantly coming, are waves with which we should cooperate.
As the waves by their nature go where they want despite the obstacles, it’s
better not to stand in their way. The best is to consider yourself as the wave,
not a fixed object standing in the way of the wave. You are vibrational creature
that moves through the sea of vibrations. It is necessary to learn to move, to
harmonize and immerse in a constantly fluctuating dynamics of life energy.
I LOVE MYSELF COMPLETELY JUST THE WAY I AM
To love ourselves unconditionaly, we have to be sure that
we don’t hold anything against ourselves. Spend some
time alone and contemplate whether there is anything
from your past or present life that you hold against yourself.
slavenka.weebly.com
If there are any resentments, forgive yourself for everything. Accept it.
Don’t judge yourself because you are perfect the way you are. If you
don’t like some part of your personality, simply choose not to behave
in that manner anymore. But first forgive yourself, forgive, forgive. If
you find negative aspects of your present personality, simply discard
them like a piece of old clothes. It has served its purpose and is no
longer needed.
FOUNDATION OF LIVING IN ALLOWING AND SURRENDER
slavenka.weebly.com
Forgiveness is something that’s done and felt. It happens through conscious
decision to forgive. In our highest consciousness we forgive everything to
everybody, including ourselves. Because the highest consciousness knows
there’s nothing to forgive. Realizing and honest accepting that there’s nothing
to forgive brings about the total transformation of every aspect of our life.
LOOK OF LOVE
Look at yourself in the plain mirror. Look
yourself deeply in the eyes. Look into your
own eyes with look full of love, compassion,
sympathy, understanding and acceptance.
slavenka.weebly.comLook yourself the way you would look at beloved child. Look yourself the way
a child would look at you. You deserve your own love. You have divine and
natural right to be loved and to love, not just others, but yourself too. Eyes are
the doors of the soul, so look deeply and lovingly, until you feel deep respect,
acceptance and compassion for yourself. Remeber that Love is actually a
verb! Love is work. Love is something we do, and it’s practically expressed
as: respect, understanding, acceptance, caring, freedom and compassion.
LOVE IS RESPECT
slavenka.weebly.com
To love yourself means to respect yourself. To appreciate your time, space,
knowledge, skills, work and efforts. To appreciate who you are and not let
anybody underestimate it. It is one thing to accept knowingly to receive less
than you deserve for a while, but it’s completely different to continuously
underestimate yourself by allowing others to take advantage of your
weaknesses. Respect yourself, your time and knowledge and others will too.
LOVE IS UNDERSTANDING
slavenka.weebly.com
Loving yourself means to understand your behaviour, your decisions, your
emotions and thoughts and what caused them. All that is happening
now is the result of your prior decisions. If you do not like something
about yourself, see where it comes from and you will understand why you
behave in that manner. You will see that a person or an event imposed such
behavior or attitude in your life. Understanding leads to acceptance, and
thus to forgiving yourself.
LOVE IS ACCEPTANCE
slavenka.weebly.com
Acceptance is the first step of healing. When you understand yourself
you will be able to accept yourself just for who you are and then you’ll
be able to forgive yourself. In fact, you’ll see that there is nothing to
forgive because you did nothing wrong. While you deny some parts
of yourself, they will continue to exist and become ever “louder”
because God does not discard anyone or anything, so you are being
pushed to live according to it and not reject any part of yourself.
Accepting it as a part of you will be an expression of love and love heals.
LOVE IS CARING
slavenka.weebly.com
Caring is expressed as care for body, mind and spirit. Pay attention how
you care about your body – what you eat, drink and breathe, the amount
of cosmic energy you take in, what kind and how much exercise you do,
how much you pay attention to hygiene, how gentle you are to the body,
how much you touch yourself, what kind of clothes you wear and alike.
Everything you take in your body and all the activities that you do have
frequency of consciousness that may be negative or positive. Pay attention
what you feed your mind with by reading, watching, listening and speaking.
Thoughts are language of mind and emotions
are chemical reactions caused by your thoughts.
Food you supply your body and mind with directly
affects the emotions that appear. When you’re
emotionally unbalanced then your decisions and
reactions will be hasty, conditioned and ultimately
unwanted. Finally, notice how you feed your
slavenka.weebly.com
spirit through meditation, sitting in
silence, enjoying the couch, staring at
the sky and clouds passing by, dancing,
singing, painting, swimming, cycling,
walking in the woods. You have only
yourself, be kind and caring and don’t lose
the only treasure you can call your own.
LOVE IS COMPASSION
Compassion means to experience feelings of others inside their skin
and heart, to walk in their shoes. Compassion dissolves prejudices
and convictions. Thoughts and mind control stop, and the heart takes
the lead and connects, fully understands and feels another being at
that moment. The power of compassion is then able to flow through
slavenka.weebly.com
our heart so strongly that it immediately affects the healing process
or leads us into an active physical help and action in order to eliminate
suffering. Spontaneous act of kindness and help someone in some
moment is able to touch the hearts of millions of people and initiate an
unstoppable transformation. Look at the people and the world through
the eyes of compassion. Look at them with eyes of love, because when
light falls on the dark, dark disappears. The world needs your blessings
and your loving look, not the look of contempt and resentment.
LOVE IS FREEDOM
Love is freedom, because freedom is the
soul, and the soul is love. Being free means
allowing yourself the freedom to be who you
slavenka.weebly.com
are, regardless of other people and situations. This means you allow
yourself the freedom to express all the other expressions of love: respect,
understanding, acceptance, caring and compassion. It means giving
yourself the freedom of feelings, emotions, needs, fantasies, dreams, joy,
fulfillment and satisfaction. If you do not allow yourself this freedom, you
will die while you’re still in the body. Then you’ll be like the living dead,
walking around and vegetating. It’s not very pleasant, even less necessary.
REMEMBER WHO YOU ARE
slavenka.weebly.com
If ego feels lost, what does it have to do with you? Ego and mind are weeping,
ego and mind are blaming themselves, ego and mind want to keep you in
the state of low consciousness, in shame and guilt, apathy, in fear. That’s
not you. You always have opportunity to rise and say – this is not me.
I AM NOT AND I WILL NOT
slavenka.weebly.com
When resentment starts, when you reproach yourself or somebody else for
being ungrateful, irresponsible, lazy, incapable, just say – this is not me. And
then ask yourself: But who am I really? Am I the one whose behaviour is
driven by such thoughts and impulses? No, I am not. So I will not do that.
EGO OR AWARENESS?
slavenka.weebly.com
Are you functioning based on ego or awareness? If you’re controlled by ego, all
your thoughts will be related either to the past or future. Thoughts related to
the past usually cause emotions of sorrow and anger becuse something had
happened in the past or something didn’t happen the way we wanted. Such
emotions signal that your ego is controlling you and dwelling in the past. If
ego is in the future, you’re afraid and worried over what will or won’t happen,
how the things will work out, and whether they’ll work out at all. Emotions of
fear and worry show you that ego is controlling you and living in the future.
AWAKE AND AWARE
slavenka.weebly.com
You are not your thoughts, you are not your emotions, you are not your
opinions, ideas, plans, likings, you are not your beliefs and attitudes. When
the emotions, thoughts, memories and traumas arouse, just stay awake, be
aware that it’s not real, be present and centered in the middle of your chest,
in your heart.
WHEN THE LIGHTS TURN ON...
slavenka.weebly.com
When the light turns on, you will clearly see the dirt. Do not be surprised.
Awareness will reveal all the thoughts and emotions, all the garbage
strewn within your being. Do not give up, do not give in, do not get
depressed. It’s already there. It was there before you turned on the light. It
has been always there, but now you will clean it, you’ll know it’s not you,
it’s not yours. You’ll ask what’s this garbage in my house and then you’ll
throw it all away. And don’t be taken by the first shock and surprise. More
surprised you get, greater the urge to clean it up as soon as possible.
PATH OF AWARENESS
slavenka.weebly.com
Consciousness is the light that will fall on ignorance, expose dirt and dust.
Path of consciousness is not a technique. We can work with techniques
our whole life, but that doesn’t mean that we will be aware or a better
person, or live in different values . We can use technique tool to raise
our awareness. But few people use it for this purpose. We usually treat
the body and emotions, and get sick again and treat ourselves again.
YOU ARE UNLIMITED ENERGY SOURCE
You have unlimited energy, but are you living at the
level of consciousness at which energy is limitless?
Or are you living in the mind which thinks there’s not
enough of everyting.
slavenka.weebly.com
Although it is true that you are the source and that the energy is limitless,
inexhaustible and infinite; when you live your life in a mental concept that
there’s not enough, that you should work very hard to make some money,
in the idea of poverty, then it absolutely reflects on everything, it even
turns the truth into a lie. The mind is the foundation of the manifested
universe and if your mind believes that there is not enough, the realization
in your life will cofirm that.
RELAX YOUR BODY
slavenka.weebly.com
Body is condensed form of consciousness, material form of consciousness.
Relax your body, allow the energy to flow freely. Feel the lightness and ease it
brings. Consciousness flows only through relaxed body. The body is an energy
device. Electric energy, thermal energy, energy in various forms flow through
the body. Body postures and positions determine the energy flow of the body.
Stiff body is a sign that we are in low, narrow state of consciousness. Energy,
consciousness, life flow through relaxed body. You flow.
WHAT IS BODY SHOWING?
slavenka.weebly.com
The body shows all beliefs, all opinions, all the experiences, all the
events, all the memories, all the feelings, all you’ve ever experienced
as an individual being from the beginning of creation until today,
it tells everything about you. The moment you change any of
these components, an attitude, a belief, an idea, when you erase a
memory, the physical appearance of your body will be changed too.
BODY AND MIND
slavenka.weebly.com
Body and mind are interwoven processes that are both mental and
physical at the same time. Thus, the body is not in the process, but the
body IS the process, the body is happening. We need to get used to this
– that body is not the thing, but an event, that it’s constantly flowing,
and that the body is different each second, its cells are changing and
every thought causes body to create positive or negative emotion.
WHAT IS MY BODY TELLING ME?
Your body always tells you what’s going on with your
entire being. And when you observe your body, it’ll
became clear which mental processes do you good,
and which are harmful. And as soon as you became
aware of it, consciousness has taken the lead, restoring
the balance of the body.
slavenka.weebly.com
Consciousness balances the body, and mind can excite it, make it high,
or bring it down. The body is inseparable from the mind, and it has the
reactions to show you, the consciousness, that whatever your mind is
doing at the time, is not serving your life or your goals, so you should either
change the thoughts or simply move away from the situation. Emotions
are chemical reactions of the body, and they’re easiest to notice, impossible
not to notice actually. Hidden beliefs you may not notice. Attitudes you
may not notice, because they are the deepest manipulators. But you must
notice emotion.
FREE FLOW OF ENERGY
slavenka.weebly.com
At the levels higher than physical, whole creation is constantly making
love with itself. All beings exchange the energy continually. Allowing the
free flow brings you the state of purity. When we allow the life to flow
freely, it provides everything we need. Something happens, a person,
a process, a healing, a realization, something comes and puts us in the
state of purity. And you don’t have to force anything. When you allow,
energy changes the flow itself, consciousness takes care of everything.
PLAYFULLNESS
slavenka.weebly.com
Abandon the concepts of life and spirituality as something very
serious. Be playful, don’t take things tragically or hold resentments.
We’re born to be joyful, like children, playful, limitless. Then we have
been conditioned to keep focus on negative thoughts, thoughts
based on fear, hunger, wars, poverty, incapability, crisis, loans,
huge interest rates. People living in fear are easily manipulated. Be
aware of manipulation. Free, joyous people cannot be controlled.
BREATH AWARENESS AND HEART AWARENESS
When you notice that you are being manipulated by
negative thoughts, when you stop for a moment and
notice sadness, anger, despair or powerlessness are
setting off, or that you feel as a victim,
slavenka.weebly.comit means that negative thoughts and emotions based on fear overcame
you. Then you have the chance to say: I don’t need this, what do I chose?
In every moment you can choose different thoughts, replace the negative
ones. To do this, you always have efficient tools available: meditation,
breath awareness, heart awareness, awareness where you are, who you are.
Observe and just notice. Heart awareness and breath awareness enable you
to be present, not to fall in the traps. To be in the NOW.
YOU ARE NOT YOUR MIND
slavenka.weebly.com
You are not your mind, you don’t belong to your mind, it belongs
to you. You are not your emotions, you are not your attachments,
you are not your attitudes, you’re none of those things, you’re
spontaneous being, not acting out of emotional reactions, but
spontaneously, following the impulse coming from the heart.
THE HARDEST ADDICTION
slavenka.weebly.com
In one of the books of Carlos Castañeda, the
teacher says: One day I had to accept that
I don›t need my own past, I›ve abandoned
it and gave it up just like drinking. Your
own past is one of the main things that
needs to die and that should die. Your
attachment to your own past should die.
WAITING FOR YOUR GIFT
slavenka.weebly.com
Consciousness expresses itself in different ways. Which way is yours,
you›ll have to discover on your own. Are you pure love, are you joy, are
you the warrior? Are you silence? Who are you? What›s your expression of
consciousness? If you›re warrior, be the best warrior. If you›re love, be the
greatest love. If you›re peace, be the deepest peace. If you›re dance, be the
best dance. If you›re speech, be the best speech. What are you? Who are you?
WHEN I LOOK AT YOU, I SEE MYSELF
slavenka.weebly.com
When I talk to you, I talk to myself. When I look at you, I look at myself. When
I listen to you, I listen to myself. When I touch you, I touch myself. When I
smell a rose, I smell myself. When I taste the food, I taste myself. Everything
I see is the reflection of my own being, of my essence. Everything my eyes
see, it›s me. Evereything I see is me. Absolutely everything, but not just
metaphorically, not just spiritually, not just cosmically. But practically, daily.
IN ALL I SEE, I SEE ME
slavenka.weebly.com
If you feel you›re a victim of someone else›s behaviour, conditions or
laws, then you›re helpless and cannot do or change anyting. Someone
else is guilty, I cannot do anything, just have to bear it. Then the despair,
powerlessnes, misery, frustration, rage grows stronger. What you can
do on the path of consciousness is to become aware: all of it is just a
reflection of my consciousness. And then notice what you can do about it.
DISCOVER YOURSELF
slavenka.weebly.com
Know that problem is never, never, never, never, ever in someone or
something else. It's just a reflection of you. The most wonderful, the
most direct message you can get. All you see, you see yourself. See
yourself in everything, in every thing, listen what people in your life are
saying. Discover yourself in everything, discover yourself in everybody.
PROBLEM AND SOLUTION
slavenka.weebly.com
Although in some situations in life, it can seem that they are someone else›s
fault and even if you have hundreds of material, physical, written evidences,
you must know that the cause and the solution are within you. The program
of virtual reality seeks the the cause and solution of the problems in others,
outside yourself. Don›t believe it, it›s not somewhere else. And no matter
how it looks like and how much you convince yourself, you›ll never ever
solve problems in your life by requesting others to change something.
THE FIRST STEP
slavenka.weebly.com
Don›t go around solving problems of the world. At least not as step
1. The first step is to notice where in your life you do the same to
other people. Everything you see or notice is in your consciousness,
otherwise you wouldn›t notice it. Become aware when you treat others
like that. Heal it within yourself, choose to behave differently. And if it
continues to exist in outside world, then decide what to do about it.
ALL IS YOU, YOU ARE ALL
slavenka.weebly.com
All you see, you see yourself. Your country is a reflection of you,
politicians are reflection of you, foreign debts are relection of you, even
wars are reflection of you. Whole planet is a reflection of you. Each
continent is one of you chakras. Seven continents – seven physical
chakras. What is Asia, Europe, Africa, America? Discover. Afganistan
and Iraq are inside you. The higest country, Tibet, is inside you.
TRANSFORMATION
slavenka.weebly.com
Transformation of this planet will not fall from the sky, but it will happen
through human hearts, human bodies, through the awakenings of
individuals. Not by waiting for someone else to bring it. Actually, it›s
already here, but we›re not living it, we›re at the lower frequency
of consciousness. So, nothing new will happen. We will just finally
become aware and experience the high frequency, higher levels.
FEEL YOUR HEART. STAY IN YOUR HEART.
slavenka.weebly.com
As a human being you are made to be magnificent. Magnificent
creature. Know this truth, hear it: I come from magnificence, I attract
magnificence in my life, I am magnificence. I come from abundance, I
was born out of the abundance, I came into existance from abundance,
I attract abundance in my life, because I am abundance. If I came from
abundance, how can I be anything else or anything less? Feel this thruth
in your heart: I come from the boundless energy source. I am the source.
MY TRUTH
slavenka.weebly.com
I deserve everything. I deserve the best, that is my right, that is my
truth. I come from magnificence, I attract magnificence in my life, I am
magnificence. The place I›m coming from is abundance. I was born out of
abundance, I came from abundance, I am abundance. That is the truth. If
I came from abundance, how can I be anything else? I come from silence,
peace, love and attract them in my life, because I am all of that, that is the
truth. The truth is magnificent, there is no modesty in it. I don›t make it
bigger or lesser, I don›t try to make it better or worse. I just allow it to be great.
MAGNIFICENCE
slavenka.weebly.com
You allow the magnificence to come in your life. Not because your ego is
tripping, but because you were born out of magnificence, so of course you are
magnificence. You›re not more or less than that, just that. And don›t think how
much is that. It will just become mental process which makes it bigger and
destroys it, or makes it smaller and says: I›m nobody, who am I to be magnificent?
I AM THAT
slavenka.weebly.com
I come from magnificence, I attract magnificence in my life, I am magnificence.
I come from the boundless energy source and I am the source. Not less, not
more. Just that. I was born out of something great. I come from abundance, I
come from the power and energy. I come from that, I am made of that, I am that.
THE CREATOR
slavenka.weebly.com
My teacher has told me that the mind is the most powerful tool
humans have. Because the mind has made the universe, it is the
foundation of it, so we can just imagine how powerful it is. And that›s
the tool the consciousness uses to create, it creates through the mind.
YOUR THOUGHTS CREATE YOUR LIFE
slavenka.weebly.com
Thoughts are foundation of this universe. The mind is the basis, and the
mind is the collection of thoughts. All thoughts together form the mind.
And this whole manifested universe, all you can see, touch, smell, taste,
hear, it›s all result of the thoughts, result of the imagination of the mind.
Not just individual mind, but global, collective and universal. Thought
is the first step in creating something. Universe came into being as
thought. It›s like that in your life, everything starts with thoughts. Thoughts
are foundation of everything you experience and everything you see.
DON’T OWN YOUR THOUGHTS
We are aware that our minds are manipulated,
corrupted and that the thoughts are not really ours.
Do not own the thoughts at all. »This thought is
bothering me, I cannot stop thinking.» Understand
that the thoughts are not yours, realize it and accept it.
slavenka.weebly.com
Thoughts are there and those we pay attention to, will stick to your mind
Then it causes emotion, anger, anxiety, restlessness in you. Thoughts
are already existing, you just identify yourself with them. Let go of your
attachment to the thoughts, your identification with the thoughts. And
then you chose: do I like this thought? No. Is it helpful for me? No. How do I
feel because of it? Bad. Do I like feeling bad? No. So then I chose some other
thought, there are billions of them, so you chose. When you notice the
negative thought, refocus yourself consciously. When a negative thought
appears, replace it immediately with a positive, chose a different one.
PRACTICE MAKES THE MASTER
slavenka.weebly.com
Even in high consciousness, negative thoughts can enter your mind.
Even if negative thought appears, you can replace it with positive one.
You simply replace it, like a damaged item. You intentionally focus
on something else. You notice and realize that negative thoughts
have penetrated your mind, and you build them up, expand them,
make them yours. Then you consciously and intentionally focus on
something else. You refocus your attention to something else, some
other thought. That is the training and the practice of awareness.
WHICH THOUGHT YOU CHOOSE?
I always have positive thoughts in my mind.
The key words are «I have in my», not I always
think positively or I am positive person.
You are not your thoughts, thoughts are
slavenka.weebly.com
something you pay your attention to. And you are not source nor cause
of your thoughts. So stop fighting with them and criticising yourself
because of the thoughts you have. You didn›t create them, you are
not your thoughts. All those thoughts exist in the field around you,
regardless of your presence. There are all kinds of thoughts around us –
thoughts full of love and fear and murders and restlessness and anger
and compassion and joy and happiness. All kinds of thoughts. Your
responsibility is which thoughts you›ll choose, where your focus goes.
ENERGY FLOWS WHERE YOUR FOCUS GOES
slavenka.weebly.com
Where your focus goes, there the energy flows. If you focus on
negative thoughts which exist independently of you, they will enter
your mind. And when they come there, you decide whether you›ll
keep them or not and will you make an elephant out of the tiny
ant. That›s where your responsibility lies, that›s where you create.
TRUE RESPOSIBILITY
Thought is the seed, and what you do with it in
your mind, that›s your responsibility. When you take
on and develop the initial thought, when you grow
slavenka.weebly.com
it and build it up inside your head for days, when you cannot sleep for
nights, having dialogues inside your mind, planning what you will tell to
somebody, and what they›ll say tell back, how you›ll be annoyed, how
you›ll pick a fight and argue. In the same way you plan an argument, you
can plan that everything›s all right. But no, we choose the other option, as if
we enjoy it, as if we like to argue, as if we›re bored and lacking excitement.
Why it would be nice, I›ll envision everything wrong. And when it happens
that way, then we say: «I knew it. I expected it to be exactly like this. «
NOTICE AND STOP
slavenka.weebly.com
What›s not serving you anymore in your life? Which attitudes,
beliefs, opinions, requests, expectations? What›s not useful to you
anymore, but only taking your energy, where you spend your
life breath to serve the monster which grew too big and you›re
killing yourself by serving to something that›s not you. Stop, today.
USE THE POWER YOU HAVE
slavenka.weebly.com
Thoughts can be measured by a device recording the frequency of
everything around us. Thoughts have electrical impulse that is measured
in microwatts. Negative thought full of anger and hatred has the
frequency of 10-800 millions microwatts. That is 10 at -800 millions!
Negative numbers get smaller and weaker the further they are from
zero. A thought filled with love, compassion or understanding has
the frequency of 10-35 millions microwatts. That makes a difference
of 765 millions of exponents. A thought filled with love has the power
to undo all negative thoughts that day. Use the power you’re given.
YOUR CHOICE
slavenka.weebly.com
When you realize you choose, then you
can change your mind and your life.
Until you don’t know you’re choosing,
you think you’re a victim. Whenever you
feel bad about something, you have
the choice to keep feeling like that or
to decide to change it inside yourself.
DON’T FALL INTO TRAPS

Falling in the trap of “victim” and “villain” roles is what most often
stimulates negative thoughts. When we see ourselves as a victim of
other people’s actions and behaviors, we can notice negative thoughts
related to that person immediately building up. Observe situations and
temptations in which you start criticizing, attacking or blaming other
people, circumstances or events. Notice whether you feel as a victim of
someone’s behavior. Negative thoughts are just a signal that you are not
in harmony and that your mind and ego took over the control of your life.
MY EXPERIENCE IS THE MEASURE OF MY EVOLUTION
slavenka.weebly.com
We need to be aware that we decide our own experiences. We make
decisions in every single moment. Every moment offers countless
possibilities to experience ourselves. We can always choose to be
love or fear, to be truth or lie, to be God or separated from God, to
be violent or not, and so on. Not only that we can choose, but we
actually choose. This means to be God: to have the power to choose
to experience love because you are love, to experience kindness,
because you are kindness, to experience peace, because you are peace.
WHERE IS THE SCRIPT OF YOUR PLAY WRITTEN?
You are aware that you are not your thoughts, you didn’t
produce them, you’re not their source and they aren’t your
responsibility. You’re responsible for taking those thoughts,
for buliding them up, for elaborating them. And then, instead
slavenka.weebly.com
of going around the world and correcting the manifestations, other
people and injustice, state laws and history and mistakes that shouldn’t
have been made, and war and famine and recession, instead of trying to
solve things on the stage, realize how it’s done. Look at the soap operas
and theater plays – actors act on the stage according to the script. Plot
is created and actions are changed in the room where scriptwriters
are, not on the stage or movie set. Your scriptwriters are in your heart,
in your imagination. That’s where you change the script of your play.
PLAY OF LIFE
You’re not the only scriptwriter in the play of your life.
The highest Self is the main scriptwriter, but he has
helpers because it’s a huge play. And it’s not written
in advance. It is being changed, written and rewritten
every day, in cooperation. We are co-creators of our
world. It’s impossible to be independent creator if
slavenka.weebly.com
you’re surrounded by billions of other beings in living solar system in living
galaxy in living universe. But you can influence and write there. You can
change the everyday things, your focus, your state of mind. The moment
your state of mind is cahnged, the scenery is changed too. There’s different
reflection. Everything you seee is the reflection of your consciousness,
of your current state of consciousness. Absolutely everything. If your
consciousness is in the dust, you’ll see dust. If your consciousness is high,
you’ll have better perspective, and you’ll see whole town, the sea and what’s
behind mountains. But it’s all based on your decision what to focus on.
IN THE PRESENT MOMENT
slavenka.weebly.com
The mind will always go a step further in the future and think: and
what if? Then you say: I’m here and now, there are no if and when.
When something happens, then I’ll know. I always know what to do
in the present moment. In the present moment, I am omnipotent and
omniscient. Consciousness is here and now, there’s no past or future.
Only here and now. And when consciousness is present, I know what to
do. Not tomorrow, but now, the answer is always in the present moment.
WHOLE CREATION SUPPORTS YOUR LIFE
Realize how much the whole world and whole
creation support your life and how much your each
breath depends on everything around you. Every day
of your life depends upon hundreds of people. Each
slavenka.weebly.com
day you go to the shop, grab something from the shelf, not asking where
that came from. You giving money in return doesn’t mean you understand
what’s behind it, who’s behing every product on the shelf, hundreds of
people, how much land farming, how many farmers, how many workers
so you can just walk in the shop and take what you want. If you’d realize
how much effort and work and organisation is involved in making your
life easier, then you’ll walk around with incredible gratitude. You feel true
gratitude when you realize the greatness of the system supporting your life.
DISCOVER THE PARADISE
slavenka.weebly.com
Be truly grateful, not just for what already is, but also for what is not,
be grateful in advance and it will be. Even if it’s not, you’re grateful
that it is, and then it will be. The feeling of true gratitide from the heart
is what we need to experience and live with each day. And when
you’re truly grateful from the heart, then we’ll have paradise, beautiful
place – it’s already beautiful, we just need to dicover it, we need to
clean it, we need to remove this dirt, and then we’ll see the gold at the
bottom. Gold is in our hearts too, we just need to remove the dirt.
ACCEPT
slavenka.weebly.com
What is bothering you at the moment in your life, what you don’t like, where
is your ego having its own preferences, opinions, attitudes, beliefs? What
would your ego like to be different, to change, what does your ego expect
of others? Remember consciously and intentionally accept the things just
the way they are, at this moment. Stop being servant to your own shadow,
because ego is nothing more then a shadow. Shadow you create while
walking in the sun, in the light. Stop serving your own shadow! And accept,
accept now. Order your shadow to accept. You accept. Acceptance is one
of practical expressions of love and first step in transforming something.
LET GO AND SURRENDER
slavenka.weebly.com
Surrender your plans, ideas and opinions to life, surrender them to the source
of consciousness. Let them flow down the river, let the river of life take them
where they need to go. Let go of control over every single thing and situation
in your life, let it go. You don’t want to know where it will go. You believe that
universal intelligence knows the best. It’s pure love and joy. Goodness, truth,
only the best for you. Let go. Let go of everything. Believe and experience.
RELAX...ALLOW...SURRENDER...
slavenka.weebly.com
Relaxation is physical activity, allowing is mental activity, surrendering is
spiritual experience. Body relaxes, ego and mind allows, and soul surrenders.
Those are three levels of allowing: physical, mental and spiritual. Body is relaxed,
mind allows and soul surrenders. And each of them affects the other two.
SURRENDER AND THROW YOURSELF INTO LIFE
Become aware what your mind and ego control in your
life, what are they afraid of, what they don’t want to let
go, what they’re not accepting. Become aware and let
it go. Surrender to life and allow everything you need
slavenka.weebly.com
to come in your life. Allowing means that in spite of what you imagined,
you allow different possibilities. You allow, you’re relaxed. And you also
allow to be different than how you imagined. Life will always give you more
than you can imagine. And you accept everything that’s here for you now.
Don’t live in anticipation, waiting something that’s not to happen. When
you surrender, you’re not interested what’s behind the corner, because you
know that it’ll be good. That’s the difference, huge difference. Notice the
difference. Let go of control. Allow. Throw yourself into life.
PURE CONSCIOUSNESS
In the state of pure consciousness, we don’t visualise,
think, imagine, we don’t get in any intentional state
of bliss, peace, tranquility, love, we don’t do or force
anything, beacuse it would just be mental projection.
slavenka.weebly.com
You don’t want or intend to be in any particular state. Because that would
be mental concept and projections. And you don’t think and imagine
consciousness as a bliss – how would you know that if you’ve never
experienced it? So you don’t imagine, you don’t project. If you never felt
peace, how will you visualise it, you’ll just get deeper into illusion. Don’t do
it, be aware, present, just be here and now, whatever is going on. You’re here
and now, observing. There is no sentiment, no romance, no projections. You
just are, without intention and desire to be in a certain way.
VIRTUAL REALITY
slavenka.weebly.com
If you’re not in the present moment, detached from emotions, thoughts,
body, events around you, you’re easily sucked in by the virtual reality. And
every time your react based on the past emotions, memories, circumstances,
people, society, fear, worries, thoughts, attitudes, you became more
and more attached to the world of virtual reality, to the illusion that
annihilates your true being, you weaken yourself, you delay the awakening.
REALITY
slavenka.weebly.com
Unconditioned, unconditional Love is the only
reality, the only one really existing. Everything
else is just a projection, movie projection, play
of the light and photons, illusion.
REALITY AND THE WORLD OF MANIFESTATION
slavenka.weebly.com
This world is not real, this is the world of manifestation, this is not reality.
Manifestations are illusions, light plays, 3D movie projection. It comes out
of projector and that projector is in our hearts. The consciousness projects
itself to see itself. Quantum physicists know that this world is made up of
atoms and that atoms are not fixed, they are limitless, they are happenings
in time and space. Evertyhing made up of atoms is not real. If it can be seen,
it’s not real. If it can be heard, it’s not real. If it can be tasted, it’s not real. If it has
a beginning, it’s not real. If it has an ened, whenever it may be, it’s not real.
SILENCE
slavenka.weebly.com
Silence nurtures the main aspect of your
being, true you.
AWAKENING
slavenka.weebly.com
Your own awakening will set you free you both from teacher and the
teachings. It has to liberate you. First, you apply the teachings, then you
dicard them one day. And you have to discard everything I’ve told you,
everything you’ve read here. You will know when that moment comes.
