When I Listen To My Silence

When I Listen To My Silence

When I listen to my silence, I can hear clearly the voice of Truth. There are no lies and everything is so clear and transparent. I can see, through all the faces, and I see the true face who is eternally looking back at me. I can listen to the words and, behind them, I can hear their true meaning. Sometimes through their lips I hear one thing, but their true meaning  reveals a totally different story.

When I listen to my silence, I can feel the pain that I have been carrying for decades: thinking that there’s no other way to live. I had created a world of pain and suffering that only I can see and feel.

But behind all that, there’s this  silence where there’s no pain, there’s no suffering, there’s no lack, there’s no loneliness, there’s no sadness, there’s no sickness, there’s no hell, there’s no darkness, there’s no difference between you and I.

Behind the silence there’s this huge possibility of becoming one with the Creator, He/She/It has given us the freedom to create our pains, sorrows and  darkest moments. Everything that comprises our life is our own creation. We create it all  and at the same time we can make any aspect of it disappear.

Our loving Creator has given us the power to make a mess out of our life as well as  the power to heal, transform, and created it all—we are limited only by our limited ability to imagine.

How happy can I make my life?…Happiness is only a thought away.

How much money can I attract into my life?… Wealth and abundance is only a thought away.

How healthy can I be?… Health and wellbeing is only a thought away.

How successful can I became?… Success is only a thought away.

And this list goes on and on. What’s stopping us from becoming the wonderful beings that we already are? I believe we have given over our power to others allowing ourselves to be victims, instead of the powerful beings with many   wonderful gifts that God has given us from the moment He created us.

Because of circumstances in our history we have been afraid. It seems like in order to hide this wonderful gifts we have created an educational system that leave us little room to look inside and find for ourselves our true potential.

We have created religions that keep us in fear and full of guilt, leaving us with an uneasy feeling that we are less than what we really are.

We have created a society that  binds us and keeps us competing against each other. This system encourages us to try to be the first, better, smarter,  richer and  bigger .

Reflect back on your own history. Who was the author of the books you grew up reading? Who was behind the pulpit you grew up listening to and worshipping before? Who was in charge of your education and behavior? If those people didn’t  reflect the joy, wellness, wealth, freedom of expression of their true selves, then we should start checking our memory bank to see what we have learned about money, love, health, freedom, and God. If there’s something in our life that we want to change, go back to our past and reflect on the people who taught us the believes and behaviors that are causing us pain or suffering.

There’s no reason why we should not be happy, free, wealthy, and healthy....  For one reason or another we have given our power to others who have given their own power as well. We do not need to repeat those patterns, we need to take control of our lives and start anew in order to experience our own beautiful and free “true self”.

Others may feel insecure if we do that, but at the end we will be showing the way how to get rid of usessless rules, systems and laws that had kept us afraid, fearfull and powerless.

There is hope, we can take our selves out of the darkness and  slave position that we have created around us for so long.

Close your eyes and imagine that you are as happy and healthy as you can see yourself. Don’t limit your ambition -- It is not bad to be ambitious. Have you seen  beautiful scenery with all the colors and richness that  knows no limits? Well, the same life that runs through them is in you. So you have ALL the right to be as luscious as you want.

In nature, there’s nothing lacking. You are part of the same nature. There’s nothing you or I  lack. Perfection is our birthright and we have to claim it TODAY.

We deserve to be happy in whatever shape or form we believe happiness is.

Go to your silence and find the beauty that belongs to you and claim it, see it and live it.

Never say, ‘I can’t” -- because you will create what you believe you can’t be or do.

Never say “I can’t afford it”, because you will create the inability to afford anything.

Never say “I’m not happy,” because you will never be happy.

Never say “I CAN’T” because that will be a command you send to the Universe, and the Universe will not give you anything more or anything less than what you command of it.

With Love,

Patricia Elena Garcia

Freedom

Freedom

Freedom is a concept that few human beings have been able to experience. There are those who live in countries that claim to be the freedom fighters for the rest of the world. But seeing it up close, we can be more slaves than those who never knew this strange form of freedom.

Under the name of liberty we bind ourselves to a prison, such as being bound to a daily routine, in order to get the things that will  enslave us even more. Because when we obtain these things we need to keep them in perfect condition by maintaining them. This enslaving effort is so that we can make sure theses things are not stolen from us. We acquire houses, cars, jewelry, clothes, and more things that, instead of giving us freedom and happiness, they enslave us and robbing us of our inherent peace.

Coupled with these things comes competition, e.g., my things are of better quality than the things of other people. If I have more than the rest; if I have this then somehow I’m  a better person. We feel more important and we live by  the notion that “more is better.”

We can also say that we have nothing, so we are free. But maybe we have bad habits and routines yet without them we can’t function well on our daily life. Our daily cup(s) of coffee to wake up; our favorite foods; and the use of pharmaceuticals or drugs to soothe our endless human sufferings. We even hold the belief of maintaining a healthy diet to lengthen our life of enslavement.

Or, we maybe addicted to toxic relationships that oppress and bind us to a life of pain and anxiety.

We go from one relationship to another looking in others for what we can only find inside ourselves.

We may have mental chains; we may be imprisoned in an emotional prison of pain, resentment, hatred, fear, intolerance, or sexual obsessions.

So who can say that they are really free?

We drag our chains disguised as masks; we may feel we have a more beautiful mask than others; we may have stronger arguments than others; and we may say that our chains are lighter than others. Or, we find sacred arguments to show off our chains. But at the end of the day, what are they any way?

They are chains.

We have the silly illusion that those who are deprived of their freedom are only those who are behind bars… but where are our chains?

We can be outdoors receiving the sunlight, but in our mind and in our lifes there are walls and fences higher than those in a maximum security prison.

We have convicted ourselves, and the funny part is that when we serve our sentence, we impose yet another one.

It goes something like this: “When I pay for my car, when I pay for my house; when I finish school; when I get married; when I get divorced; when I win the lottery; when I retire; when the democrats rule the congress; when my family believes like I do when I get a job; when I quit smoking; and when I leave jail.” When, when, when, when.

An unconscious life is an imprisoned life: We are the worst judges we could find to hear our case and give our judgment and sentencing.

What binds you? What drowns you? What worries you? What hurts you? What is overwhelming? What is it that sometimes takes your breath away and makes you feel like something is  oppressing your chest, and leaving gasping for air?

God created us free. But, all by ourselves and with no help at all, we have gotten into our mind and cells using the so-called “Free Will.” We have chained ourselves; we have divided ourselves into categories of races, creeds, nationalities, social groups, and all sorts of other with endless labels, divisions, and barriers. It’s them versus us. 

We have set up ourselves with goals, thoughts, beliefs, and other such nonsense, which takes away our freedom.

Not even on the spiritual path do we allow freedom to guide us, because we allow the spiritual path form to impose upon us many rules, commandments, and precepts that, instead of giving us light, they obscure our true thoughts, and our minds became narrowed. Sometimes we have the absurd idea that our spiritual path is better than those of others. Maybe we think that our way is better than the rest. In some instances, we even believe that we are the “Chosen Ones” by a god who acts like a mortal human. We have tied ourselves even more, by becoming spiritual fanatics… thus, the walls rise higher and we become more absurd.

In order to experience true Freedom we have to abandon all preconceived notions and ideas related to EVERYTHING in our life because what we have chosen provide us with no Freedom or Peace!

Surrender to God –completely - for He is the only One who really knows what true Freedom is, He is intrinsically free. He is pure Love and He created us the same way.

Even though now, we may be behind bars, we can still experience freedom because freedom is an innate condition of our inner eternal Spirit. We will never find freedom on the physical plane, but we can experience it while in the physical reality.

So let’s release our chains; let’s open the doors of the mental prison we have placed ourselves in. Let’s FLY! LET’S BE REALLY FREE!

Let’s place our minds in the hands of the Holy Spirit, or whatever higher source we believe guide us. Let’s stop  limiting ourselves, and instead, let’s call our angels, our guides, our God, so they can clean us up. They will heal us. They will help us free ourselves. They will guide us as to how we can do a spiritual overhaul. Only then we will achieve true freedom, regardless of where we are physically or spiritually right now.

We can be called a slave and have a master, but we can also be truly free. Because in truth our mind and the spirit that we ignorantly use to chain ourselves with…  are intrinsically… always free.

With Love,

Patricia E. Garcia

We are free. The door is wide open, but we unknowingly locked the door and forgotten where we  placed the key.

The Dream Of Life

The Dream Of Life

I was dreaming and while I was there I thought “I can get out of this dream and create my very own dream” So I did.

The dream was going very normally until I wanted to know who was I, in this dream, because everybody was having a normal relationship between them but I was not seeing myself inside the dream, I was not feeling being a part of it, I was not feeling included.

So I wanted to know who was “I” in that dream, I had a feeling I was there but I was not having a clear idea who was playing my part.

This bothered me terribly, so I decided to question each and everyone on MY dream. I took their faces with my hands and scream: “What is MY part in this  dream!!!!!!!!!!?

I didn’t get an answer, I did that with all of them screaming on the top of my lungs: “WHAT IS MY PART IN THIS DREAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Silence…….

All of the sudden everyone disappeared and I felt a darkness that involved me completely. On that darkness there was an inexplicable silence.

I “heard” a “voice” that said:

“You are everything in the dream”

At that moment a light appeared and I heard some nature sounds, which I can’t explain at all, it was like a clear canvas ready to receive the order for a new dream if I wanted to create one.

At that moment I was yet in another dream. As soon as I could I told them:

“I have to tell you about a dream that I just had before I forget it”.

Before I forget, I want to remember. Remember that I am inside a dream, and that, I am the only one who has created the whole thing.

Before I forget, I have to remember that the players on my dream are my own self.

Before I forget, I have to remember that if I don’t like the dream that I’m dreaming there’s nobody to blame. Who’s there to blame if I’m the creator of the dream or nightmare that I’m living?

Before I forget, I have to remember that when the screen of the dream turns blank, I have the possibility to create another dream or dream no more, and wake up!.

With Love,

Patricia Elena Garcia

My Thirst For Knowledge

My Thirst For Knowledge

I was reading a lot of books from beginning to end and it made me wonder why I had this thirst for knowledge. I received a very revealing answer. I was expecting a pat on my back for being such a good girl for wanting to “broaden my horizons”. The answer was a lower punch to my liver (read EGO).

“He, who seeks knowledge all the time, DOESN’T really want to find it”.

What? How can that be? I thought that if I search for the truth and took time to investigate, compare, analyze and study, isn’t it because I really want to find the truth?

Then the answer was: “You don’t have to seek for knowledge, because knowledge is inside of you. And if you seek outside yourself, it’s like a dog chasing his tail: He can spend the rest of his life looking for something that is already part of him, something that is really attached to its body.

 

To find knowledge and be aware that it is a part of you, you can’t seek outside yourself.  Relax, listen to your inner voice.

What makes you look outside yourself is the fear of knowing that you actually do know.

The general idea of “intellectualism” is something very accepted in our society. We accept very easily the titles, good grades, diplomas, etc. The more we try to improve our lives by society’s standards, the more we waste our lives trying to be who we are not.  We then  become our titles  because this is something that the general population readily accepts; but it’s not who we really are.

Besides, what we learn in books is not ours; it has nothing to do with US. Then whether it’s true or not it doesn’t affect us directly. An example is a book written by Mr. MD or Mrs. PHD. We read the book and then we repeat like parrots whatever is in there. We think that if they wrote it, it must be truth. But we protect ourselves by saying; “I’m only repeating what they have written in their book”.

If we go throught our lives repeating others people’s truths, we will be repeating words of death, echoes of voices without life, without strength, without ESSENCE.

The time we spend reading some books, we can utilize in ourselves, in knowing ourselves, listening to our Source, finding the truth within, the truth that has been there forever, the truth that is pure, beautiful, sincere, and free from manipulations and fear.

The truth that we all have inside.

Whenever we encounter our true selves, we won’t be wasting time because we know that it will no longer be enough to “Know That We Know”.

Knowing that we know, brings with it a “Great Responsibility” and the responsibility that we made with ourselves by LIVING what we know. And here is where FEAR plays a  big part...

Before we made others responsible for what they wrote in their books and we  freed ourselves from any responsibility. But now it’s our TRUTH and by making it our truth, we have to now LIVE IT.

Now it is our RESPONSIBILITY and no one else’s.

Wherever I go my presence will be an indicator of who I AM, the TRUTH THAT IS ME.

After that, we will not have to tell anybody that we know this or that because we will be a clear reflection of what WE ARE, NOT WHAT WE KNOW.

If our lives are a clear reflection of the truth that is insideus, we will became an open books with living letters and those who surround us can read without the need to even open our lips.

And this doesn’t mean that we will never read another book or go to another seminar or take another self improvement program.

The real message is: If a truth comes my way and if that truth resonates with the truth that is already  inside me but somehow was hiding from me: that would be a clear indication that it’s time to start LIVING IT as MY OWN, with the RESPONSIBILITY that it implies.

BE what you know.

LESS WORDS ……. MORE ACTION.

With Love,

Patricia Elena Garcia

In silence I find Peace

In silence I find Love

In silence a find God

In silence I find Myself

What are Simple Truths?

Simple Truths by Pat

This blog is going to allow me to share insights that I have been divinely receiving for as long as I can remember. Until now, for one reason or another, I had not dared to share them publicly. I always had doubts about not being intellectual enough to speak or write about such things, but now, I dare to do so.

Privately, I have shared what I refer to as, Simple Truths, and now I am inspired to share them with you.

You may ask, "Who is this Pat? What are her credentials?" Well,

everybody knows me as Patricia Elena Garcia. I have NO credentials; yet the only credential I do have is the certainty that what I’m sharing with you here, is not mine, it’s from Someone who knows more than me and understands everything better than me. Also, I can assure you that these Simple Truths came, and still come through me constantly.

I don't want to make this a long introduction because what prompted me to create this blog was not to become famous by any means. What moved me is a loving and unselfish desire to share what the Divine, (or whatever you may choose to call It), has the kindness and goodwill to reveal to me. It does it in a loving and Simple way, so that I can understand it,  apply it, and above all, practice it.

 I’ve noticed over the years that the truth is not complicated or flashy. The truth is simple, but we love to complicate it; and we find complicated names so that the ego will be entertained with the same things day after day, month after month, year after year, and lifetime after lifetime. If you don’t believe in reincarnation, don’t worry, it’s not necessary. As long as some of the things written here can be beneficial to you and your day, I will be content.

The only requirement for taking advantage of this blog is to not think that you know everything already because if you are breathing the same air, and you can see your reflection in a mirror, I can assure you that you, like me, still have some things to learn.

Start by emptying the mind of intellectualism and knowledge. These things may bring us a good reputation during trivial chats, but they have no application on our day- to day life. I fact, they block the mind, and prevent us from recognizing how simple life can be.

Remember: "Intellectualism is not an attribute of the soul but of the ego”. Please read with an open heart and you’ll see that your soul will recognize itself in some of these Simple Truths.

Welcome to my world... which is yours as well.
