Thoughts of Christmas, necessarily, are a reflection of an individual's own experiences as one follows a passage through life. The thoughts of joy and giving seem especially joined at Christmastime.
Joy is reflected in Christmas carols such as "Joy to the World." Joy brings an euphoric feeling of well being and it seems to happen, particularly during the Christmas season. It appears to be universal.
Joy of the Christmas season has been shared over the years by all stations in life, from peasants to emperors, kings and czars.
Joy of the Christmas season reflects on civility and simple courtesy. Friends and even strangers share a tendency to be less impatient. Doors are opened and passage is offered more often.
Cheery greetings of "Merry Christmas" seem to lift the human spirit.
Thoughts of joy lead to thoughts of giving. Christmas, in spite of all the efforts of those who would destroy the joy, remains the season of giving.
That spirit of Christmas giving did not originate with the giving of material gifts. It began with God's greatest gift to man: life itself.
Christmas celebrates the birth of a baby some 2,000 years ago. That baby was Jesus Christ. The story of the life of that baby was destined, through centuries of suffering and martyrdom, eventually to expand across the pages of history to become one of the world's principal religions, Christianity.
Christmas celebrates the birth of Jesus each year on December 25.
The spirit of giving, particularly at Christmas, is one of personal fulfillment. It matters not the value of the gift; it is the thought of giving that provides the fulfillment.
Christmas is also a time to celebrate the gift of life to children everywhere. Christmas more than any other celebration is a child's season.
Christmas Eve and Christmas Day are family time. Families gather in closeness, many around a cozy fire, as no other time of the year. It is a time for reunion and many times it celebrates the first Christmas of the newest member of the family.
The gift giving centers on the children.
This anticipation of Christmas, as I recall, began weeks before December 25. As the day drew near, real Christmas began with the selection of a Christmas tree that miraculously could be trimmed by Santa Claus during the night. Santa would leave presents for good little children under that tree. This belief among little children proved to be a remarkable aid to discipline. No child wanted to receive a bundle of sticks instead of a present.
This wonderful belief in Santa was a very closely guarded secret. No one, not even a villain, would dare destroy that magical belief before a child reached the age of first grade.
The Christmas celebration as we in America know it today came from our European heritage.
The Christmas tree, according to legend, came from northern Germany, when Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk and founder of the world's Protestant movement, witnessed bright stars surrounding an evergreen tree. Inspired by this scene, Martin Luther brought an evergreen tree into the home and illuminated it with lighted candles.
When Queen Victoria married her consort, Prince Albert, who was of German heritage, the Saxe-Coburg-Gotha line, the Christmas tree was brought to England.
The Christmas tree came to America when Pennsylvania Germans, today's so-called "Pennsylvania Dutch," came to America in the early 1700s.
Santa, the personified spirit of giving, had been known over the centuries in Europe as Father Christmas or Saint Nicholas. In particular the Dutch version, Sinter Klaas, seems closest to our term, Santa Claus. The Roman Catholic Church recognizes Saint Nicholas of Smyrna, a 4th
Century bishop.
The connection between Santa Claus and Christmas was popularized by the 1822 poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas" ("'Twas the Night before Christmas"), attributed to Clement Clark Moore, who depicted Santa driving a sleigh pulled by reindeer and distributing gifts to children.
The truly American celebration of Christmas was enhanced greatly in 1863 when German-American cartoonist Thomas Nast gave Santa Claus visible form and character in HARPER'S WEEKLY.
In 1897 an 8-year-old wrote to the NEW YORK SUN, asking, "Is there a Santa Claus?" In what remains, a century later, the most reprinted editorial ever to run in any newspaper in the English language, Francis P. Church answered: "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus. He exists as certainly as love and generosity and devotion exist, and you know that they abound and give to your life its highest beauty and joy. Alas! How dreary would be the world if there were no Santa Claus! ...There would be no childlike faith then, no poetry, no romance to make tolerable this existence. We should have no enjoyment, except in sense and sight. The external light with which childhood fills the world would be extinguished…"
No Santa Claus! Thank God! He lives and lives forever. A thousand years from now, 10 times 10,000 years from now, he will continue to make glad the heart of childhood.
Only the celebration of Christmas can bring such joy and wonderment to the hearts of children and adults alike.
Merry Christmas!

Expressing Gratitude
Every Month A Million and the Daily Dose Of Good
"At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." Albert Schweitzer
Whatever life holds for us, we are indebted.
For life, for enjoyment, for happiness, peace, for well being.
For everything that we have, are and are going to be.
It is a privilege to be alive.
To be able to live and enjoy and give.
From the time of birth, we are in debt to a million influences.
To our miraculous physical creation – a million chemical reactions, transformations and creative forces.
To the people who fed us from the bottle, changed our diapers, cuddled us and gave us the physical touch that we needed, clothed us when we couldn't have done so ourselves …
We could have perished otherwise….
Clean water.
Fresh air.
Warm clothes and cuddly blankets.
Clean hygienic surroundings.
Roof over our heads.
Those who have touched and supported us mentally emotionally when we did not know any better.
No doubt, some experiences may have left emotional and physical scars- but for the most part there was some good.
The fact that we exist in this universe- makes us indebted to the creator who gave us life
Gratitude for not only the good things in our life, but also the problems, our mistakes.
And when we realize there is a loving source behind everything, we can be grateful.
Also for our surroundings, the wonder and beauty of nature that is immaculate.
When we feel gratitude, and acknowledge the source, we allow ourselves to feel joy and peace. We feel complete. The circle is complete. We have been given, we receive and we appreciate in gratitude.
Even the poorest of the poor can be rich if they have gratitude.
For the breath the breathe, the life they have, the little comfort they enjoy.
The little that the poor have is better than a feast at the rich with no gratitude or happiness.
Gratitude is wealth. Gratitude is joy.
Gratitude brings out the best in others and in us.
Gratitude releases the negative and brings in the positive.
We cannot be grateful without forgiving another.
We cannot be grateful and hold grudges and thoughts of retribution or revenge.
If someone has caused us to suffer loss or damaged us or our possessions to some degree and to this day cannot repay, should we be grateful?
Before we can experience gratitude in the face of wrong, we have to experience forgiveness. Of the event, the perpetuator, and of ourselves. Then we can go on and be grateful.
"When we harbor negative emotions toward others or toward ourselves, or when we intentionally create pain for others, we poison our own physical and spiritual systems….The challenge .. is to refine our capacity to love others as well as ourselves and to develop the power of forgiveness. Carolyn Myss, Anatomy of the Spirit
Underlying all this is belief.
Belief that all exists for our good.
Even if something terrible has happened.
Joni Eareckson was able to express gratitude in the face of the most devastating event that can happen – an accident that caused the loss of use of both arms and legs, leaving her totally dependent on another for her most basic needs. In gratitude she has written books on her life after the tragedy carried on living again.
Zig Ziglar expressed gratitude even in his darkest days of grieving when his daughter Susan passed away. In gratitude for the memories that she was able to give when she was alive. And in gratitude to God who has a plan for his life. He was able to carry on living through the pain, and embrace life again.
Gratitude is not an extraneous emotion that can be done with.
It is essential to our well being physically emotionally mentally and spiritually
It is the cornerstone of peace joy and connection to the source of all love and peace,
In gratitude we communicate with our creator.
For all that there is, that was and that will be.
Our creator has created us in love.
We reciprocate this in love and gratitude.
It is expressed in the love we give to ourselves.
It is expressed in the quality of our work, the depth of our experiences.
It is expressed in our relationships- the love we give to our fellow men because of the love which has been given to us.
If we can be grasp this fact, that we are expressing gratitude not only to the people who helped us, but knowing that behind it all, the orchestrating of all events is a wonderful and loving creator, we can continue to have the ability to be grateful.
In the face of whatever happens, there will be gratitude.
There is always something to be grateful for.
Whatever circumstance we are in, food will taste better, colors will look brighter, scents will smell better, water will taste sweeter, burdens will be lighter.
And if we focus on this, the thought and gratitude expands and it will attract more blessings and abundance.
This is the essence of the Law of attraction at work.
In acknowledgment of and together with a higher creative force for good.

Manifest Desires Freely by Having No Expectations
It is a most liberating experience when you are able to live life with an attitude of no expectations. When you have expectations, you have preconceived ideas of how things should be that you are attached to. Expectation creates fear because you think what you desire may or may not happen. Free of expectations, you can just go with the flow of the universe and not be affected by the outcomes that you encounter. Every outcome can serve to move you towards greater realization of your desires.
When you are attached to an outcome, you expect things to happen at a certain time in a certain way. But when it does not happen at the expected time or in the expected manner, then what results is a feeling of fear. Having expectations about how your desires should manifest will produce negative feelings when your expectations are not met. That is why it is better to act on your intention without expectations about the when and how it manifests.
Fear, doubt and worry are the last things you want to experience in the process of manifesting desires. That is why the best way to create what you want is through detachment. Act on your desires with a detached involvement. You do what you are guided to do by your heart but you do not judge the rightness of your actions by the results that you get. As long as your actions are based on purpose, you have done what you were meant to do regardless of what seems to happen from it.
When the universe is in the process of working things out for the realization of your intention, there might be things that happen which make it seem as though things are not working out. It is your expectation of how things should happen that makes you think that things are not working out. But actually you are not seeing the whole picture, because what you are seeing is only a piece of the larger scheme of events where everything is really working out the way it should.
Expectation colors your perception of things. You don’t see how things are really happening when you expect them to happen a certain way. This prevents you from recognizing the good that comes your way and causes you to push it away thinking that it is evil. Without preconceived ideas to limit your perception, you are able to accept what comes your way as part of the solution to realizing what you truly desire in life. You are able to receive and not resist truth and love.
Many times we feel discouraged when things are not happening the way we want them to happen. We might even lose hope thinking that it’s not meant to be, and even give up pursuing it altogether because our actions are in vain. But we do not realize that we are right in the process of it all coming to pass, and we turn away when we are closer than we ever were before. Let go of expectations so that you can surrender to the process and let the outcome fall in place in the right way at the right time.
When we do not know how things will really turn out, we have to trust. There is no need for hope when we already know how the outcome will be like. Hope is confident expectation of good. The only expectation you need is the expectation that everything is happening for good and not evil in your life. You can expect good no matter what the outcome seems to be.
The best way to live life is to be like a little child, having no cares and expectations. You are just doing what brings you joy and expressing yourself fearlessly in every moment. You completely accept yourself and whatever is happening without judgment. You are trusting that you are always provided for and there is nothing that is stopping you from attaining all that you truly desire. You are free to live fully in the moment without worrying about the future.
Live with an attitude of no expectations and you will experience more freedom than you can imagine. Failure does not stop you anymore because it doesn’t exist in your perception. You can keep doing what you believe in simply because you are not expecting a particular outcome but you are just expressing the truth that is in you. You are able to let go of anything negative and nothing holds you back from going on in the direction of your desires.
When you hold no expectations, you are committing the outcome. You can always experience much more from a place of no expectations than from having expectations because the universe is able to do above and beyond all that you can ask and even think of. Leave the outcome in the hands of the universe, while you continue acting on your desires. Surrender to the process and know that good things come to you when you least expect them.

The Law Of Vibration
Just as a pebble creates vibrations that appear as ripples, which travel outward in a body of water, your thoughts create vibrations that travel outward into the Universe, and attract similar vibrations that manifest as circumstances in your life.
The Law of Vibration is perceived by many as something that is beyond simple comprehension, and entirely too complicated for the average person to understand.
If you were to read a scientific report or journal containing all the equations and formulas that bring science to the conclusions of their findings, then I'd have to agree and I would be as in the dark as anyone.
The reality is, the Law of Vibration, like anything in creation is actually a very simple concept and made to appear complicated by man.
The intent of this article is to simplify the explanation of this awesome and creative force that is known as the law of vibration, in an effort to allow even the novice to become "conscious" of, develop an understanding in, and validate for yourself the life changing power that it holds for you.
We will be examining the workings of the law of vibration from two aspects, the scientific and the spiritual, each of which, as more scientific studies are done and our technology increases, appear to be joining together as one understanding.
At the conclusion of this article, it will be up to the individual to choose to accept or deny it's reality. It will then become the choice of the observer to purposely and consciously put this knowledge to use to create a life that defies logical, sensory (or physical) thinking processes or deny the reality of it's presence and continue to unconsciously produce the same results experienced to this point.
Either choice, to believe or not, will not change the fact that the Law of Vibration exists and is always present, and that due to it's unwavering power you are creating the conditions you call your life, whether you believe it to be so or choose to deny it's verifiable existence.
A thorough and correct understanding of this principle called the Law of Vibration will allow you to see that it is possible to attract the unlimited supply of abundance that is and always has been available to you. Becoming aware of it's immutable, unwavering and flawless operation will provide you with a renewed sense of hope and crystal clarity with regard to how to align your thoughts, emotions and actions with it's never failing or wavering operation to begin intentionally, purposefully and consistently attracting the desired events, conditions, and circumstances into your life, that to this point, may have seemed to elude you. Developing an understanding of and combining that knowledge with the magnetic force of the Law Of Attraction and reviewing the law of Cause and Effect will allow you to conclude that you are able to attract to yourself, life experiences that to this point you may have considered and "perceived" to be wishful thinking.
This knowledge will allow, and empower you (if you choose) to become conscious of and free yourself from the negative thoughts and emotions which serve as the "unseen" cause and attract with unwavering certainty and precision, the VERY things that you fear, creating anxiety, unpleasant circumstances in your physical reality, and begin to replace them with thoughts and emotions that harmonize and are consistent with attracting and creating a life of Abundance, Happiness, Fulfillment, and Joy, above and beyond your wildest expectations.
To fully understand how this law can change, and positively effect the course of your life, you must first have a basic understanding and awareness of it's operation.
Let's Get Started With The Law of Vibration From A Scientific Viewpoint
The first thing that is important to understand is that all that exists, whether seen or unseen, broken down into it's simplest and most basic form, consists of a form of, or rate of vibration.
Let's begin by looking at something as simple as a piece of paper. As you pick it up and look at it, it appears to be a solid object that you can sense with all of the five basic human senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.
If you were to tear off a small piece of the corner, and place it under a microscope, you would find that it now appears to transform into a different form than when you held it in your hand or as it laid on the table.
As you observe it closely you will find that there appears to be movement within it. Not only does it appear to be so, but there really is! The movement that you see is millions of individual forms of microscopic matter that make up the piece of paper, which are called molecules. Everything in our world that you can sense with the five basic human senses are made up of these tiny wonders. Actually billions and trillions of them. Are you still with me? Great, let's look further.
Now let's take one of those molecules and place it under a much more powerful microscope and as you look through the lens you will find that there appears to be movement from within the molecule. Not only does there appear to be, there is!
This movement is created by something known to the scientific community as atoms, which broken down and analyzed further consist of a proton, which is at the center and an electron which constantly orbits the proton, creating a vibratory pattern. (energy)
We could continue this process until we get down to the smallest known discovery by the scientific community to this point, known as a quark.
Without getting into all the mathematical equations and specifics of the scientific discoveries of this reality, everything that exists, either physical (seen) or non-physical (unseen), contains some variation of atoms and subatomic particles. The varying amounts of each of these put together, form various shapes or energies which determine form, or rates of vibration.
Depending on the specific amounts of each of these ingredients determines the structure of each object that can be seen and determines whether the thing is solid, liquid, or gas, and which also determines whether it can be sensed with the 5 human senses or not. Regardless of it's form, broken down into it's most basic structure, everything that exists, seen and unseen, consists of a rate of vibration.
A good example of this that everyone is familiar with would be the wind.
Although it can be felt, at a certain vibration it cannot be seen with the human eye or heard with our ears. When the rate of vibration changes to the point that it causes the rate of the wind to increase and became strong enough to pick up dirt or debris, it would then be at a level (vibration) that would allow all 5 of the human senses to experience it.
Now that we've looked into some aspects of vibration that can be experienced with the five basic human senses, let's look at rates of vibration that are above or below our ability to comprehend in the physical world.
Consider oxygen. It is something that we use everyday, and each of us realize how crucial it is to our survival, yet we aren't able to experience it with touch, taste, smell, hearing or feelings. The fact that we can't experience it with these senses certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We know it does. The reason that we are unable to sense it with our physical sensory perception is because it's rate of vibration is outside of our physical ability to do so.
Another example is a dog whistle. Although as humans, we are unable to hear the sound that comes from it, there is no doubt that it releases a noise that mans best friend can clearly hear. Again, the rate of vibration is beyond our human capacity to sense and experience, but it surely exists.
Another unseen example of the Law of Vibration that far fewer are "aware" of, or put another way, "unconscious to" is consciousness itself .
An experiment done many years ago, shows us the law of vibration at work. Although I don't necessarily agree with the methods utilized, the experiment proves that vibration in the form of consciousness does exist in all things, seen and unseen, and most certainly validates the Law of Vibration.
A mother rabbit was taken down into a submarine and one of it's babies was kept in a laboratory thousands of miles away. The mother rabbit was hooked up to sophisticated equipment that measured the brain waves (brains rate of vibration measured in Hertz Hz) to determine her reaction to the upcoming experiment.
The scientists in the laboratory then killed the baby rabbit and observed the brain waves (Hz) of the mother rabbit which went absolutely haywire at precisely the same time even though they were thousands of miles apart!
The conclusion being that consciousness (vibration) consists of, and is interconnected, providing a distinct vibratory pattern and is immediately received, with no concept of space or time when released into the universe, and doesn't require time to travel even thousands of miles. It was a step in proving that vibration exists as an ever present consciousness that exists in the entire universe!
Everything in our universe consists of vibration. If the rate of that vibration falls below or rises above a certain intensity, it becomes unmeasurable or invisible to the human senses. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, as we've proven in the examples above that it does.
Now that we've established the fact that Everything that exists in our Universe is, in it's purest form, a vibration, let's determine where this vibration comes from and exactly what it is.
Looking At The Law Of Vibration From A Spiritual Perspective
Since anything and everything that exists must come from somewhere or something (a Source) we must assume that vibration comes from a Higher Force or Higher Power. The Source of the vibration.
This Higher Power or Source is known as many names amongst the people in our world. For the sake of everyone involved, and to simplify this explanation, Let's refer to this Source as a Universal Consciousness also often referred to as The Super Conscious Mind .
This Universal Consciousness is THE Source of all that is, was or ever will be. Although He/She/It is referred to in many ways, regardless of the names attached to it by man, it exists and is always present everywhere. It is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, all knowing, all seeing, the Alpha, the
Omega, the beginning, and the end etc.
This Source exists as a spirit being or thought consciousness.(vibration) We, like this spirit being, broken down into our purest, most basic form, (like we did with the piece of paper above) consist of vibration (spiritual) as well.
Each of us, as an individual being, are an integral yet individual part of this Universal Consciousness, and collectively make up the whole of the Universal Consciousness, much like a drop of water is a part of and makes up the body of water referred to as a lake.
We, like the Source (and everything else within our universe), in our most basic form, exist as a vibration.
You could say that we, although individual are an integral part of the whole. Everything is...EVERYTHING.
The smallest particles known to man are vibrations. Thoughts are vibrations. Words are vibrations. Sounds are vibrations. Light is a vibration. Our planet is a vibration. Our entire universe and everything within it (seen and unseen) is a vibrating mass of atoms and subatomic particles.
When you truly grasp this "Higher Truth"
By learning to become consciously aware of this truth, and learning to control what vibrations we are creating and emanating within ourselves and projecting into the field as scientists call it or "The Kingdom" as spiritual circles refer to it, in the way of thoughts and emotions, it is possible to align and harmonize those vibrations with, and to consistently attract the things we desire to experience in our lives.
By learning to master a conscious, intentional and harmonious vibration in your day to day existence, and through developing the ability to focus your thoughts on that which you have a desire to see manifest, you will have mastered the creative power of the Law of Vibration and the ability to attract the life of Abundance and Happiness that is, always has been and always will be available to and for you which you were created and exist here in "physical form" to enjoy.
For an in depth understanding of this phenomenon that we call the law of vibration, as well as all other Universal Laws which determine your outcomes in the physical world, keep following here with my Daily Dose Of Good and I will provide an in depth view of life and your role in the process will enable and empower you to become keenly aware of the importance of YOUR individual quality of consciousness and the crucial role it plays in molding and shaping your life.

Choose to become fully aware of the Law of Vibration and it's ability to dramatically improve your life. Learn how to align and harmonize your thoughts, feelings and actions with it to unleash it's limitless creative potential in your day to day life and you will discover how to purposefully and consciously attract to you, a life, that until now you would have considered a dream.
The Law of Vibration, once understood and consciously utilized can and will ensure with unwavering certainty that YOUR life can and will become one of Joy, Fulfillment, Profound Inner Peace and Limitless prosperity in each and every area of your life.
What we choose to refer to as Abundance and Happiness.
I will have much more in future post on discovering how to combine the Law Of Vibration with the other Universal Laws ( Law Of Attraction and the Law Of Cause and Effect ) that will provide an overview and a deeper understanding of how you can begin to consciously, intentionally and purposefully attract, produce and personally experience the results that you desire for yourself and those you love whatever they might be.
The Law of Vibration is perceived by many as something that is beyond simple comprehension, and entirely too complicated for the average person to understand.
If you were to read a scientific report or journal containing all the equations and formulas that bring science to the conclusions of their findings, then I'd have to agree and I would be as in the dark as anyone.
The reality is, the Law of Vibration, like anything in creation is actually a very simple concept and made to appear complicated by man.
The intent of this article is to simplify the explanation of this awesome and creative force that is known as the law of vibration, in an effort to allow even the novice to become "conscious" of, develop an understanding in, and validate for yourself the life changing power that it holds for you.
We will be examining the workings of the law of vibration from two aspects, the scientific and the spiritual, each of which, as more scientific studies are done and our technology increases, appear to be joining together as one understanding.
At the conclusion of this article, it will be up to the individual to choose to accept or deny it's reality. It will then become the choice of the observer to purposely and consciously put this knowledge to use to create a life that defies logical, sensory (or physical) thinking processes or deny the reality of it's presence and continue to unconsciously produce the same results experienced to this point.
Either choice, to believe or not, will not change the fact that the Law of Vibration exists and is always present, and that due to it's unwavering power you are creating the conditions you call your life, whether you believe it to be so or choose to deny it's verifiable existence.
A thorough and correct understanding of this principle called the Law of Vibration will allow you to see that it is possible to attract the unlimited supply of abundance that is and always has been available to you. Becoming aware of it's immutable, unwavering and flawless operation will provide you with a renewed sense of hope and crystal clarity with regard to how to align your thoughts, emotions and actions with it's never failing or wavering operation to begin intentionally, purposefully and consistently attracting the desired events, conditions, and circumstances into your life, that to this point, may have seemed to elude you. Developing an understanding of and combining that knowledge with the magnetic force of the Law Of Attraction and reviewing the law of Cause and Effect will allow you to conclude that you are able to attract to yourself, life experiences that to this point you may have considered and "perceived" to be wishful thinking.
This knowledge will allow, and empower you (if you choose) to become conscious of and free yourself from the negative thoughts and emotions which serve as the "unseen" cause and attract with unwavering certainty and precision, the VERY things that you fear, creating anxiety, unpleasant circumstances in your physical reality, and begin to replace them with thoughts and emotions that harmonize and are consistent with attracting and creating a life of Abundance, Happiness, Fulfillment, and Joy, above and beyond your wildest expectations.
To fully understand how this law can change, and positively effect the course of your life, you must first have a basic understanding and awareness of it's operation.
Let's Get Started With The Law of Vibration From A Scientific Viewpoint
The first thing that is important to understand is that all that exists, whether seen or unseen, broken down into it's simplest and most basic form, consists of a form of, or rate of vibration.
Let's begin by looking at something as simple as a piece of paper. As you pick it up and look at it, it appears to be a solid object that you can sense with all of the five basic human senses of sight, touch, taste, smell, and hearing.
If you were to tear off a small piece of the corner, and place it under a microscope, you would find that it now appears to transform into a different form than when you held it in your hand or as it laid on the table.
As you observe it closely you will find that there appears to be movement within it. Not only does it appear to be so, but there really is! The movement that you see is millions of individual forms of microscopic matter that make up the piece of paper, which are called molecules. Everything in our world that you can sense with the five basic human senses are made up of these tiny wonders. Actually billions and trillions of them. Are you still with me? Great, let's look further.
Now let's take one of those molecules and place it under a much more powerful microscope and as you look through the lens you will find that there appears to be movement from within the molecule. Not only does there appear to be, there is!
This movement is created by something known to the scientific community as atoms, which broken down and analyzed further consist of a proton, which is at the center and an electron which constantly orbits the proton, creating a vibratory pattern. (energy)
We could continue this process until we get down to the smallest known discovery by the scientific community to this point, known as a quark.
Without getting into all the mathematical equations and specifics of the scientific discoveries of this reality, everything that exists, either physical (seen) or non-physical (unseen), contains some variation of atoms and subatomic particles. The varying amounts of each of these put together, form various shapes or energies which determine form, or rates of vibration.
Depending on the specific amounts of each of these ingredients determines the structure of each object that can be seen and determines whether the thing is solid, liquid, or gas, and which also determines whether it can be sensed with the 5 human senses or not. Regardless of it's form, broken down into it's most basic structure, everything that exists, seen and unseen, consists of a rate of vibration.
A good example of this that everyone is familiar with would be the wind.
Although it can be felt, at a certain vibration it cannot be seen with the human eye or heard with our ears. When the rate of vibration changes to the point that it causes the rate of the wind to increase and became strong enough to pick up dirt or debris, it would then be at a level (vibration) that would allow all 5 of the human senses to experience it.
Now that we've looked into some aspects of vibration that can be experienced with the five basic human senses, let's look at rates of vibration that are above or below our ability to comprehend in the physical world.
Consider oxygen. It is something that we use everyday, and each of us realize how crucial it is to our survival, yet we aren't able to experience it with touch, taste, smell, hearing or feelings. The fact that we can't experience it with these senses certainly doesn't mean it doesn't exist. We know it does. The reason that we are unable to sense it with our physical sensory perception is because it's rate of vibration is outside of our physical ability to do so.
Another example is a dog whistle. Although as humans, we are unable to hear the sound that comes from it, there is no doubt that it releases a noise that mans best friend can clearly hear. Again, the rate of vibration is beyond our human capacity to sense and experience, but it surely exists.
Another unseen example of the Law of Vibration that far fewer are "aware" of, or put another way, "unconscious to" is consciousness itself .
An experiment done many years ago, shows us the law of vibration at work. Although I don't necessarily agree with the methods utilized, the experiment proves that vibration in the form of consciousness does exist in all things, seen and unseen, and most certainly validates the Law of Vibration.
A mother rabbit was taken down into a submarine and one of it's babies was kept in a laboratory thousands of miles away. The mother rabbit was hooked up to sophisticated equipment that measured the brain waves (brains rate of vibration measured in Hertz Hz) to determine her reaction to the upcoming experiment.
The scientists in the laboratory then killed the baby rabbit and observed the brain waves (Hz) of the mother rabbit which went absolutely haywire at precisely the same time even though they were thousands of miles apart!
The conclusion being that consciousness (vibration) consists of, and is interconnected, providing a distinct vibratory pattern and is immediately received, with no concept of space or time when released into the universe, and doesn't require time to travel even thousands of miles. It was a step in proving that vibration exists as an ever present consciousness that exists in the entire universe!
Everything in our universe consists of vibration. If the rate of that vibration falls below or rises above a certain intensity, it becomes unmeasurable or invisible to the human senses. That doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, as we've proven in the examples above that it does.
Now that we've established the fact that Everything that exists in our Universe is, in it's purest form, a vibration, let's determine where this vibration comes from and exactly what it is.
Looking At The Law Of Vibration From A Spiritual Perspective
Since anything and everything that exists must come from somewhere or something (a Source) we must assume that vibration comes from a Higher Force or Higher Power. The Source of the vibration.
This Higher Power or Source is known as many names amongst the people in our world. For the sake of everyone involved, and to simplify this explanation, Let's refer to this Source as a Universal Consciousness also often referred to as The Super Conscious Mind .
This Universal Consciousness is THE Source of all that is, was or ever will be. Although He/She/It is referred to in many ways, regardless of the names attached to it by man, it exists and is always present everywhere. It is omniscient, omnipresent, omnipotent, all knowing, all seeing, the Alpha, the
Omega, the beginning, and the end etc.
This Source exists as a spirit being or thought consciousness.(vibration) We, like this spirit being, broken down into our purest, most basic form, (like we did with the piece of paper above) consist of vibration (spiritual) as well.
Each of us, as an individual being, are an integral yet individual part of this Universal Consciousness, and collectively make up the whole of the Universal Consciousness, much like a drop of water is a part of and makes up the body of water referred to as a lake.
We, like the Source (and everything else within our universe), in our most basic form, exist as a vibration.
You could say that we, although individual are an integral part of the whole. Everything is...EVERYTHING.
The smallest particles known to man are vibrations. Thoughts are vibrations. Words are vibrations. Sounds are vibrations. Light is a vibration. Our planet is a vibration. Our entire universe and everything within it (seen and unseen) is a vibrating mass of atoms and subatomic particles.
When you truly grasp this "Higher Truth"
By learning to become consciously aware of this truth, and learning to control what vibrations we are creating and emanating within ourselves and projecting into the field as scientists call it or "The Kingdom" as spiritual circles refer to it, in the way of thoughts and emotions, it is possible to align and harmonize those vibrations with, and to consistently attract the things we desire to experience in our lives.
By learning to master a conscious, intentional and harmonious vibration in your day to day existence, and through developing the ability to focus your thoughts on that which you have a desire to see manifest, you will have mastered the creative power of the Law of Vibration and the ability to attract the life of Abundance and Happiness that is, always has been and always will be available to and for you which you were created and exist here in "physical form" to enjoy.

How to Live Consciously
Here is my follow up on yesterdays post I told you I would
do on How to Live Consciously. Hope you find it helpful.
Have you ever seen ants marching in search of food? They just follow one another in an almost endless game that seems to drone on and on. Does your life feel like an ant's life – as if you're going from day to day, doing the same thing, the same way, and nothing ever changes?
If so, then there's a very good probability you're not living consciously.
Conscious living is being aware of your life and the things you're doing. It's about taking the time to stop and smell the roses so you can see where you fit into the whole picture. Living consciously is a vital component in enjoying the fleeting moments we have on Earth.
It's important to take note of what's going on around us and be aware of what we're doing. Living consciously brings us an understanding of what we're capable of doing and paves the way for us to get where we want to go.
BENEFITS OF CONSCIOUS LIVING
Perhaps you're wondering, "What's in it for me?" Conscious living brings with it many benefits, which you may already be seeking in your life.
HERE ARE JUST A FEW OF THESE BENEFITS:
1.Relieve stress. Conscious living can be a great stress reliever. Not only does it make life more enjoyable when you alleviate your stress, but it also makes you healthier. Stress affects every process in our bodies and can cause serious disease if it builds up within us.
2.Expand your horizons. As you become more aware of your surroundings, you'll find that you can better understand the world and your place in it.
3.Live in the moment. Throughout the day, you'll be more focused on your work because you're consciously acting on a specific task in the moment.
4.Enjoy more passion in your relationships. While living consciously, your relationships will become more meaningful because you'll be appreciative of them as well as the other person. You'll be more in tune with your partner and aware of every want and need.
5.Know your importance. Your job will become more fulfilling because you're more conscious of your role in the grand scheme of things. You no longer just answer a phone or hand someone a photocopy, but you are consciously making a difference.
6.Bring color into your world. Your surroundings will become more vibrant because you'll notice things like the subtle differences between the shades of the trees and the direction of the soft breeze.
7.Being conscious of life makes life more fun. When you're living consciously, bad days are few and far between.
ACTION STEPS TO LIVING CONSCIOUSLY
Luckily, transforming your humdrum life into one filled with vibrant joy is easier than you may think! You can make some simple adjustments to your everyday routines to live consciously and more fully enjoy your life.
HERE ARE SOME ACTION STEPS YOU CAN TAKE TO BRING CONSCIOUS LIVING TO YOUR LIFE:
1.Stop. Take some time to stop throughout the day and look around. Be aware of where you are and what's around you. Become conscious of your surroundings and notice how you fit into them.
• Notice the details such as the green on the trees, or the condensation dripping down the side of the cup.
• Become in tune with what your body feels and actually search out the sensations of your fingers and toes while feeling your chest rise and fall with each breath.
2.Breathe. Take deep breaths and be in the moment. Don't think about what you've done or what you still have to do, just take a minute or two to just breathe!
3.Learn. Take a few minutes each day to try something new. Pick up a book you've wanted to read or learn a new skill. By doing this, you're starting to become conscious of your life and the things you can do with it.
There are many things you can do to live life to its fullest. Living consciously is one of the easiest changes to make on a day-to-day basis. Take a few of these ideas, integrate them into your routine, and begin enjoying the benefits of living consciously!
