<h2>Who Do You Think You Are?</h2> Every morning we wake up and remember a name, a history, a personality, and a collection of beliefs. We remember what we like, what we fear, what we believe we can do, and what we believe we cannot.We call this "me."But what if it is only the identity we have learned to wear?From the day we entered this world, an identity began to form. Family, culture, education, successes, failures, praise, criticism, and countless experiences shaped the character we now call ourselves. This identity contains thousands of characteristics and attributes. Some serve us well. Others keep us limited.Yet beneath every identity is the same living presence—the same life force that animates every human being.The life within us is not different. What differs is the identity through which that life is being expressed.The beautiful news is that identities are not fixed.As we meditate, practice self-hypnosis, repeat empowering affirmations, visualize a new future, and consciously choose higher states of being, we begin to reshape the identity through which life expresses itself. New beliefs replace old limitations. New habits replace old conditioning. Gradually, the outer life begins to reflect the inner transformation.Perhaps awakening is not becoming someone new.Perhaps awakening is remembering that we are more than the identity we have been playing.When the identity changes, our thoughts change. Our emotions change. Our actions change. Our relationships change. Our experience of life changes.The awareness that witnesses all of this has always been present.The invitation is simple:Choose your identity consciously, rather than living the one that conditioning chose for you.<h2>The Innocence Behind the Identity</h2> If the identity is something we have learned rather than who we truly are, then something remarkable follows.Every person is doing the best they can from the level of consciousness, conditioning, and experiences available to them. Every fear, every belief, every reaction was shaped by countless influences.This does not mean that every action is wise or harmless. Actions have consequences, and we are responsible for them.But it does suggest that beneath every conditioned identity is an innocence that has never been lost.Many spiritual traditions teach that before this lifetime our souls chose certain lessons, relationships, and experiences to support growth. Whether you see this literally or as a meaningful metaphor, it invites a profound shift in perception.Instead of asking, "Why is this person this way?" we begin to ask, "What experiences shaped this identity?"Compassion naturally replaces judgment.Some traditions go even further, suggesting that there is only one Life expressing itself through billions of unique perspectives—that what we call "God" is experiencing creation through every person, every creature, and every circumstance.If that is true, then every encounter becomes an opportunity for learning. Every challenge becomes a classroom. Every relationship becomes a mirror.From that perspective, the purpose of life is not to prove that we are better than one another. It is to awaken through the experiences each identity lives.Good and evil still matter within the human experience because our choices affect one another. Yet beneath the drama of the roles is the possibility that something deeper remains untouched—an awareness that is whole, loving, and complete.Perhaps that is why forgiveness is so powerful.Forgiveness does not deny what happened. It simply recognizes that no conditioned identity is the whole truth of who anyone is.It remembers the being beneath the story.It also feels as though humanity is entering a unique period of history.Never before have so many spiritual teachings been available to so many people. Ancient wisdom, neuroscience, psychology, meditation, and technologies like artificial intelligence now exist side by side. Ideas that were once hidden in monasteries, mystery schools, or rare books can be explored by almost anyone with curiosity.Whether this represents a divine unfolding, a cultural evolution, or simply the natural spread of knowledge, each person must decide for themselves.Whatever the explanation, we have an extraordinary opportunity.Perhaps the game has not changed.Perhaps, for the first time, enough of us are beginning to remember that it is a game—and that remembering changes how we choose to play.<h2>You Have More Choice Than You Think</h2> One of the greatest discoveries of my life has been this:I have far more choice than I ever believed.For years I thought I was simply "David."I believed I was my personality, my habits, my fears, my strengths, my weaknesses, my opinions, and my history.I thought that was who I was.Now I see something different.I see that the character called David was shaped by thousands of experiences. Family, school, culture, successes, failures, relationships, loss, praise, criticism, and countless moments programmed the mind of this character.None of that was consciously chosen.It happened.The programming became the personality.Then something remarkable happened.I discovered that the programming could be changed.Every book I read, every seminar I attended, every hour spent in meditation, every hypnosis session, every affirmation, every act of forgiveness, every conscious choice became another line of code written into the character.Slowly, the old identity loosened its grip.New qualities appeared.More peace.More compassion.Less fear.Less judgment.More curiosity.More gratitude.Today, I hardly recognize the man I was twenty-five years ago.Even the man I was ten years ago feels like someone else.The circumstances of my life certainly influenced that transformation, but they did not determine it.The choices I made afterward mattered.Every day I chose what I would read.What I would practice.What I would believe.Where I would place my attention.Little by little, those choices reshaped the character I call David.Perhaps this is one of the greatest freedoms we possess.We may not have chosen our original conditioning.But we can participate in what conditions us next.We can consciously cultivate the qualities we wish to express.We can become more loving.More peaceful.More courageous.More forgiving.Not because we are pretending to be someone else.But because we are no longer imprisoned by who we thought we had to be.The question is no longer, "Who am I?"The better question may be:"Who am I choosing to become today?"And perhaps, deeper still:"What qualities does my deepest nature long to express through this character?"Life takes on a different feeling when you realize that much of what you are doing is shaping the character you are living.For years, most of us believe the character is fixed. We think, "This is just who I am." We assume our personality, habits, fears, and limitations define us.But what if they don't?What if they are simply patterns that were learned?Then every day becomes an opportunity to consciously shape the character we wish to express.Instead of living the life that conditioning chose for us, we begin choosing the qualities we want this character to embody.Peace instead of fear.Love instead of judgment.Courage instead of avoidance.Gratitude instead of resentment.Kindness instead of reaction.The circumstances of our past helped shape our character, but they do not have to write the rest of the story.Each day we are invited to participate in its unfolding.Whether you see life as a spiritual journey, a process of psychological growth, or simply the unfolding of human experience, one truth remains remarkably practical:Today, I get to choose the qualities this character will express.My Definition of Awakening For most of my life, I believed I was the character.I believed I was David—my history, my personality, my fears, my successes, my opinions, and my conditioning.I didn't question it.I simply lived from it.To me, that was being asleep.Not asleep physically.Asleep to the possibility that I was more than the character I had learned to be.Then something changed.I began to notice the character.I could observe his thoughts.I could observe his fears.I could observe his habits.And if I could observe them, perhaps they were not the deepest truth of who I am.That changed everything.Now I see life differently.I see that David is a character through which life is being expressed.He has a history.He has strengths and weaknesses.He has lessons to learn.He has a role to play.But he is not the whole of what I am.This realization doesn't remove me from life.It gives me greater freedom within it.When I believe I am only the character, I react automatically from old conditioning.When I remember that I am aware of the character, a space opens.Within that space is choice.Perhaps not complete choice.Perhaps not immediate change.But enough choice to ask a new question:How shall this character respond today?That single question changes everything.It allows me to consciously cultivate peace instead of fear.Compassion instead of judgment.Forgiveness instead of resentment.Joy instead of struggle.For me, this is what awakening means.Not escaping the character.Not rejecting the character.Not pretending the character doesn't matter.Simply remembering that I am more than the character—and choosing, day by day, the qualities through which this character will express life.<h2>I Do Not Walk Alone</h2> One of the deepest shifts in my life has been realizing that I do not believe I am walking this journey alone.I experience life as though there is loving intelligence beyond my ordinary conscious mind.I have called it by many names.God.The Holy Spirit.Jesus Christ.My Higher Self.Superconscious.Angels.Guides.Others may use different words, or none at all.The name matters less to me than the experience.Again and again, I have found that when I become quiet, ask sincerely, and remain open, wisdom, peace, guidance, or unexpected help seems to arrive.Not always in the way I expected.Not always immediately.But often enough that I have learned to trust the process.I no longer feel that I must solve everything with my conscious mind alone.I ask for guidance before making decisions.I ask for peace before reacting.I ask for clarity before speaking.I ask for wisdom before teaching.I ask that whatever is for the highest good unfold through me.Perhaps these unseen helpers are separate beings.Perhaps they are expressions of divine intelligence.Perhaps they are dimensions of consciousness we do not yet understand.I cannot say with certainty.What I can say is this:Living as though I am supported has changed my life.It has made me more peaceful.More trusting.More grateful.More willing to surrender what I cannot control.Whether these helpers exist exactly as I understand them is a mystery.The love, guidance, and peace I experience when I ask for help are not.So I continue to ask.And I continue to listen.Because one of the greatest comforts I have discovered is this:I do not have to walk this path alone.

Who Do You Think You are?

The Lumiel State of Being CircleJoin us Sunday evenings at 8pm on zoom for this group event.Most people spend their lives trying to change their circumstances so they can finally feel better.At the Lumiel State of Being Circle, we explore a different possibility:What if you could consciously choose your state of being first regardless of circumstance?Each week participants are invited to briefly share a challenge, fear, concern, or circumstance that is affecting their emotional state. Together, we explore how that situation is showing up in their experience and what feelings it is creating.Then we ask a simple but powerful question:"If this issue were completely resolved, how would you feel?"As the answer emerges, attention shifts away from the problem and toward the desired state of being.Participants are then invited to step into that state now.Rather than talking about joy, freedom, peace, confidence, love, abundance, or gratitude, they begin expressing these qualities as who they are.They speak powerful generative statements such as:"I am peace.""I am confidence.""I am freedom.""I am joy."The group witnesses this transformation in real time. As one person consciously chooses a new state of being, everyone present is reminded that they too have the ability to choose who they are beyond their circumstances.We may also use a simple embodiment exercise. With eyes closed and hand over heart, participants imagine themselves living their lives from this new state of being. They experience how relationships, work, health, and daily life feel when they are already being the person they choose to be.This is not about positive thinking.It is not about denying challenges.It is about recognizing that while circumstances may influence us, they do not have to define us.The Lumiel State of Being Circle is a place to practice conscious living, discover your power of choice, and experience the freedom that comes from becoming who you choose to be.Join us each Sunday as we learn to live from the inside out and create life through our chosen state of being.

The Power of Your Spoken Word: Creating Your Life Through LanguageMost people believe they use words to describe reality. Science of Mind teaches something radically different:Your words create reality.According to the philosophy of Science of Mind, there is an Infinite Creative Intelligence operating in and through all of life. This intelligence responds to thought and spoken word the way soil responds to seeds. It does not judge what is planted it simply grows it.This means your spoken words are not neutral. They are creative forces.The Law That Always Says Yes One of the central teachings in Science of Mind is that Universal Mind responds to our belief and declaration with a constant “yes.”If you continually say:“I’m always tired” “Money is hard to come by” “I never remember anything” “Getting old is terrible” The creative intelligence of life accepts these statements as instructions and begins organizing experiences to match them.Not because life is punishing you&nbsp; but because life is responding to you.Likewise, when you declare:“I am guided and supported” “Opportunities come to me” “My body knows how to heal” “I prosper in all I do” Life again responds: “Yes. As you say.”Words Program the Subconscious Mind Your subconscious mind listens constantly to your spoken word. It does not argue. It does not filter. It accepts what you say as truth and begins to act accordingly.If you tell yourself repeatedly that you are forgetful, the subconscious accepts the instruction and produces forgetfulness. If you tell yourself you are strong, capable, and guided, the subconscious begins organizing behavior and perception to match that identity.This is why casual negative self-talk is so powerful and so dangerous. And why conscious, uplifting speech is transformative.Speak Your Life Into Form Most people speak about their lives based on appearances. Science of Mind teaches us to speak from creation, not observation.Instead of saying: “I’m overwhelmed,” say: “I am guided and supported.”Instead of: “I’m not good with money,” say: “I handle money wisely and easily.”Instead of: “I’m getting old,” say: “I grow wiser, stronger, and more vibrant every year.”You are not lying to yourself. You are directing creative intelligence.A Daily Practice for Conscious Creation Try this simple daily spoken-word practice:Morning (set direction): Speak out loud:Today I choose peace. I am guided in everything I do. Good comes to me in expected and unexpected ways. I uplift everyone I meet. Throughout the day (stay aware): Notice your words. If you catch yourself speaking negatively, gently replace the statement with what you prefer to create.Evening (impress the subconscious): Before sleep, speak:I am grateful for this day. My subconscious now creates solutions, healing, and prosperity. Tomorrow unfolds beautifully. You Are Always Speaking Your Life Into Form Whether you realize it or not, you are constantly giving instructions to your subconscious mind and to the creative intelligence of the universe through your spoken word.So the question becomes: Are you creating by default or by design?The Science of Mind reminds us: Your word is law in your life.Choose words that heal. Choose words that build. Choose words that uplift.Choose words that create the life you truly desire.Speak your life into form&nbsp; consciously, lovingly, and powerfully.Manifesting Through the Spoken Word: The Scripting PracticeThere is a powerful tool within the Science of Mind philosophy that uses the spoken word to consciously create your life. It is called manifesting through scripting.If your words create your reality, then why not choose your words with intention and design the life you would love to live?This is not wishful thinking. This is conscious creation.<h2>Write the Script of the Life You Love Take time to write a script describing the life you would absolutely love to live.</h2>Write it in the past tense, as if it has already happened and you are now living it.Example:I am so grateful for the vibrant health I enjoy every day. My body feels strong, flexible, and full of energy. I am prospering in wonderful and unexpected ways. I love the work I do and the people I serve. My relationships are loving, harmonious, and joyful. I feel deeply connected to God within me at all times. Write about your health, wealth, relationships, purpose, peace of mind, spiritual connection, and daily experience. Let it be beautiful. Let it be inspiring. Let it be the life you truly choose.This is not fantasy. This is direction given to the Creative Power of Life.Once your script is written, make it a daily ritual to read it three times each day:Morning Midday Before sleep Each time you read your script, read it out loud. Feel the words. Hear yourself declaring your life into form.The spoken word impresses the subconscious mind and sets creative law into motion.Prepare Your Mind Before Reading Before reading your script, pause for a moment and center yourself.Close your eyes and feel the truth:God is not outside of you. God is within you. You and God are one.Do not read your script as if you are asking something from a distant God. Read it knowing that the Creative Power of the universe lives within you and is responding to your word right now.You are not begging. You are not hoping. You are creating.Begin with Ho’oponopono Before reading your script, say quietly a few times:I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.Allow these sacred phrases to clear the mind and open the heart. Feel peace. Feel connection. Feel oneness with the Divine within you.Now begin reading your script.Speak as One With God As you read your script, know that you are not a small human trying to get something. You are an expression of Infinite Intelligence speaking creation into form.Feel that God within you is speaking these words through you.See yourself and God creating together as you speak. Feel gratitude that it is already done in consciousness.Do Not React to the Outer World The world will present news, fear, and appearances that seem to contradict your script.Do not react as if outer conditions have power over your creation.The outer world is a reflection of past thoughts and words. Your script is creating your future.Know this deeply: God within you is the truth. Your spoken word is creative law. Your script is being formed now.Do not let news, fear, or appearances stop you from declaring your life into being.Make It a Sacred Ritual Turn this practice into a daily sacred ritual.Speak your script with:Faith Feeling Gratitude Certainty Visualize as you read. Feel the emotions of already living this life. Know that creative intelligence is responding.Your spoken word is shaping your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind is shaping your experience. Your experience becomes your life.Create Consciously You are always creating through your spoken word whether you know it or not.Now you know.So create consciously. Speak deliberately. Declare lovingly. Affirm boldly.Know that God within you responds to your word. Know that your spoken word creates your life. Know that what you consistently speak with belief and feeling must come into form.Speak your life into being and watch it appear.

The Ho’oponopono LifeWhen you bring Ho’oponopono into your life not as an occasional practice, but as a way of being the entire tenor of your existence begins to shift. It is like a soft rain that falls quietly at first, then seeps deep into the soil of your mind, heart, and soul until the landscape of your life turns green again.At first, you may notice only small changes. A little more peace here, a little less reaction there. The arguments that once burned for hours now dissolve into quiet understanding. People who used to trigger irritation feel softer in your perception. This is the beginning. Ho’oponopono is doing its unseen work.It starts with the four phrases simple, almost child like:I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.They are keys, not merely words. Every time you use them, you unlock a door in your mind that was keeping old pain locked inside. Every time you repeat them, you release another knot in the tangled rope of memory, blame, and judgment.Soon, you find that you are no longer fighting the world. You are cleansing it from the inside. When someone is unkind, instead of clenching in defense, you find yourself repeating the phrases silently, not to change them, but to clear the place in you that resonates with the upset. And when you clear within, the world around you often shifts without.The tenor of your life changes because you are no longer driven by the urge to be right, to fix others, or to make the past different. You are now in the steady practice of letting go. And in letting go, you become lighter.You will notice this lightness in unexpected places in the way you breathe, in the way you walk, in how your relationships feel. Situations that once consumed you lose their power. Even the past, which once seemed carved in stone, softens. You begin to see that everything, even the hard and ugly parts, came to help you grow. Gratitude blooms where bitterness once lived.As you continue, Ho’oponopono becomes less of a technique and more of a heartbeat. You find yourself doing it without thinking, the way you inhale and exhale. And in that rhythm, you discover a deep truth: you are never separate from life, from others, from Love itself.One day, perhaps without realizing it, you will feel a quiet joy that does not depend on circumstances. You will see beauty in people you once judged, and compassion for those you once feared. You will realize that Ho’oponopono did not just heal certain moments it rewrote the entire music of your life.You have moved from discord into harmony, from struggle into flow. And once you hear this new melody, you will never want to go back.

The New Revolution: Love, Truth, and the End of Fear Many people are waking up to the hypocrisy, lies, and deceit of those in power people placed there not through service or merit, but through systems many now see as rigged and manipulated. We’re witnessing leaders clinging to power, more concerned with self-interest than with serving the people they claim to represent.We see our fellow citizens voting not from unity, but from what they believe to be their own self-interest usually promises of more from the government.&nbsp;Meanwhile, the same old tricks are being played: “The rich are the enemy.” “The illegal immigrants are to blame.” “A deadly disease is coming for us all unless we obey.”Fear is manufactured. Enemies are invented. Division is cultivated. History repeats itself.Again and again, we see the cycle: tyranny rises, people suffer, and revolution breaks out, bloody, violent, chaotic. Liberty is bought with lives, only to be handed back to another form of control. We’ve been looping this pattern for centuries.How many times must humanity relearn that power corrupts when it is not grounded in Love? How many more revolutions will be fought with guns and blood when the true revolution has always been closer than breath?There is a new technology an ancient one, actually. Older than governments. More powerful than weapons. It is Truth. It is Love. It is Faith in both.This is the new resistance. Not with fists, not with fire, not with fury. But with presence. With courage. With stillness and clarity. We resist by being uncorruptible in our own hearts, in our own minds.We forgive those who oppress us. Not to let them off the hook, but to unhook ourselves from the cycle of hate. We shine the light of Love and Truth, without fear. We no longer need to kill to be free. We need only to awaken.Mahatma Gandhi showed the way:“Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Now it is our time. The battlefield is within. The weapon is your state of being.Because in the end, you will die. That’s not a threat it’s a gift. So when you look back at this life, will you be proud of who you were being? Will you remember yourself as one who awakened, or one who obeyed? As one who spread fear or one who radiated Love?This may be the only thing you’re truly doing as a human: Choosing who you will be. So choose.Choose Love. Choose Truth. Choose to be the light in a darkened world. &nbsp; &nbsp;

<h3>Raising Your Vibration: The Path to Power, Peace, and Possibility Through the Lens of David R. Hawkins’ Scale of Consciousness</h3>Imagine your emotional state as a frequency just like a radio station. Tune into a higher frequency, and you receive a clearer signal, a more beautiful melody, and a richer experience of life. David R.
