I Choose Peace

1176340_509738705770401_1320006987_n

There are many ways to live with PEACE – you can be peace in the world at large. Peace can be a gentle guide through the many ways you can live with purpose and become a shining light for others to follow. Peace is not only an ideal, but rather a way of being that can emanate out in to the world adding to the possibility of world peace.

The more we can live with peace in our thoughts, our feelings and actions, the more peace we are creating.

Interesting that promoting PEACE requires the courage to be something different from how we’ve been before, it might require courage coupled with compassion to make deep changes in our lives. For some, this might even involve moving to a new place, taking a new job or moving on from relationships that are not helping us to grow.

Some believe that the need for PEACE is a childish perspective, but acts of kindness and compassion are genetically wired in us. A mother cares for her young because it is ‘in her’. You will always benefit from showing peace and kindness, but that needn’t be the reason for showing it. Kindness, philanthropy, looking out for the best for all of us, is actually our natural state.

Aligning with the pattern of PEACE can be one of the most empowering things we ever do. Even if we don’t have large resources to contribute to creating peace, all of us can do inner and outer peace work. With each altruistic act we do, in our interconnected world, we make a tremendous difference, not only as a direct consequence of our actions, but because of the inevitable ripple effect created, which strengthens the pattern of positive change in the world.

PEACE and KINDNESS is LOVE in motion.

Remembering Your Origin Through the Living Attributes Codex

Within each of us lies a Seed of the Soul, a divine spark that carries the memory of our origin and the potential to live fully aligned with our higher self. This seed is not a distant concept; it is alive, present, and ready to awaken in every moment. The key to accessing this inner light lies in the Living Attributes Codex, a map of the qualities that guide, correct, and transform us.

The Codex identifies two complementary aspects of our being: Light Attributes, the ever-present capacities that reflect our highest potential, and Shadow Attributes, the challenging aspects of life that reveal the gaps, fears, and misalignments that require attention. Shadow Attributes are not failures—they are invitations, reflections of growth, and opportunities to purify the self and reconnect with Source.

The Role of the Seed of the Soul

The Seed of the Soul remembers. It recalls the wholeness of our origin and calls us to awaken from the illusion of limitation. Every conflict, uncomfortable emotion, or repeated life pattern is a signal from the Soul that there is an aspect of our being ready to return to Light. By learning to recognize and work with our Shadow Attributes, we honor the Soul’s call and allow the Seed to expand and blossom.

The Five-Step Correct & Transform Process

The Living Attributes Codex provides a structured path for nurturing the Seed of the Soul through a simple but profound process of Correct & Transform:

STEP ONE: Reconnect with Source
The Seed thrives in alignment. Begin by grounding yourself in the presence of Source through meditation, prayer, contemplation, or quiet immersion in nature. These practices awaken your Light Attributes and prepare you to perceive the lessons within your Shadow.

STEP TWO: Identify Your True Feeling
When a challenge arises, pause and inquire:
“What do I really feel about this situation?”
Observe without judgment. Set the intention to be healed and to move beyond limiting patterns. This awareness allows the Seed of the Soul to guide you toward clarity.

STEP THREE: Recognize Your Shadow Attributes
Name the Shadow qualities presenting themselves in the situation. For example:

  • Issue: “I don’t have any money coming in.”
  • Shadow Attribute: “I feel overwhelmed and apathetic.”

Acknowledging the Shadow is not surrender—it is recognition, a necessary step for transformation.

STEP FOUR: Correct & Transform with Light Attributes
Consult your Living Attributes Codex to find the Light Attributes that counterbalance and uplift the Shadow. For example:

  • Shadow “Overwhelmed & Apathetic” → Light “Competent & Enthusiastic”

Commit to embodying these Light Attributes consciously. This step activates the Seed of the Soul, allowing it to flourish through your intentional action.

STEP FIVE: Integrate Through Body Prayer
Use the Body Prayer of Correct & Transform to internalize and energize your Light Attributes. Practice daily acknowledgment and intentional application in meditation, prayer, and life’s actions. The Seed of the Soul grows through consistent alignment, eventually expressing as expanded presence, creativity, and divine clarity in every moment.


Living the Codex

Working with the Living Attributes Codex transforms life from a series of challenges into a dynamic practice of remembering, correction, and alignment. Each Shadow encounter becomes an opportunity to bring the Soul’s Seed into full bloom. Miracles, in this context, are simply shifts in perception, the awakening to the ever-present Light already within you.

The Sacred Spiral Field teaches us that transformation is cyclical, not linear. Each Shadow encounter loops back into our centre, inviting conscious correction. Each Light activation radiates outward, expanding our life and the Seed of the Soul. By consciously being one with the Living Attributes Codex, we align ourselves with both the geometry of creation and the eternal memory of our origin story.

The Seed of the Soul is patient. It waits not in expectation but in readiness. When nurtured through self-referencing, alignment, and the consistent practice of the Correct & Transform process, it blossoms, revealing that every Shadow is a guide, every Light Attribute is a tool, and every moment is an invitation to remember our true origins and live in our fullest potential.

Heart to Heart, Elizabeth

Live In The Light Prayer

0001ER

Know your divinity.

And allow me, Your Radiant Self to emerge.

For your body is your Temple and your Sacred Passage.

A wealth of ancient knowledge

and an immaculate masterpiece of creation.

It is your divinity that brings forth life in every living cell.

And it is your love of the Light that brings forth Life.

Use your Light, and use it well.

Amen

This is a prayer I received as I was waking on the morning 15th April 2008. It arrived in this rhythmic completed form and I have been able to recite it in its completed form ever since that day. This was also the eve of my 49th birthday and the eve of my first public presentation of Living Attributes. It has become my divine creed and guideline for my life’s purpose.
I have been living this prayer daily now for five years and what follows is a detailed account of what the prayer is ultimately conveying, it has a simple but effective message of the absolute importance of maintaining one’s divinity. I hope it serves your soul as well as it has served mine.

Live in the Light Principles

1. Know your divinity.

This part of the prayer reminds you of your divine origins – Where do you believe you come from? What do you place your faith in? And do you know your own divine nature? These questions provide a meeting place for your worldly way and heart’s desire to be with your loving creator; your God. In this opening message of only three words, you are asked to remember your responsibility to God. For it is out of the relationship with your divinity that you are able to serve, feel, and love all that you have been given. You are able to know God more intimately from your ability to find where your own divinity lies. It is through the infinitely divine heart that one meets the Most Sacred And Holy One, which leads to the next expression.

2. And allow me, Your Radiant Self to emerge.

Now you begin to recognize the divine spark, the presence of the Radiant Self. Here is where you experience the self and God as one. This acknowledgment suggests that in the realm of divine consciousness there is no separation. This is the meeting of the true self. The Ego has given up its struggle for control and this divine union with the Most Sacred And Holy One has given the ego the peace it was seeking for. It now has no fear of separation, because the Radiant Self has emerged and taken dominion in your world of spirit and form.

3. For your body is your Temple.

Here you acknowledge the body as your temple and vehicle. The body in its full glory is a sacred and miraculous vessel. It gives your soul a vehicle to experience a life in the realm of the Physical. Like your soul, your body is multi-dimensional. It functions on many levels without your conscious awareness. When you are able to respect the needs and sanctity of the body you become closer to the true nature of your whole being. You become the ‘House’ of God and welcome all of your makers’ creations with an open heart.

4. And your Sacred Passage.

Through the relationship of divinity with your body, you obtain a regenerating higher frequency. This higher vibration transforms your basic body into a light body, which is your sacred passage. This is the Devotional Body; it is your connection to the Upper Worlds. Your Light Body creates a sacred passage between the worlds. It is your mode of transportation and gift that enables you to create heaven on earth.

5. A wealth of ancient knowledge and an immaculate masterpiece of creation.

Humans have been evolving for millions of years – the universe has been growing for over 13 billion years. And you are one of the results of that amazing evolution. The fact that you embody everything that has come before you gives you great power. You are literally a library; a wealth of pulsating knowledge that’s in every cell of your body. You are part animal, vegetable, and mineral. You are divine intelligence in motion; you create, evolve, think and respond. You are the incredible example of everything you know and don’t know all at once. You have an inner resource that occupies ’s and operates your body without conscious command. You are miraculous.

6. It is your divinity that brings forth life in every living cell.

Here you acknowledge the light as your divinity. The more you are able to see your light and divinity as the life force that sustains all life, the more life/light you create. It is through your heartfelt gratitude and deepest love that the Creator can give us a full and healthy life. Without this eternal spark, you are not fully ignited/united.

7. And it is your love of the Light that brings forth Life.

The love of the light is the respect and embodiment of the God force. The more you acknowledge the evolutionary power of God, and your ability to participate in the larger divine plan, the more Gods divine plan is revealed to you. You are a spark in the mind of God that has taken on a human form. Your ability to create and sustain life is part of your divine nature. When you are creating life with every breath, thought and action you are happy, God is happy.

8. Use your Light, and use it well.

Once you have come to the realization that you are a piece of Gods light in the world, you begin to use that light wisely. You remember the divine placement of this precious gift and know not to throw it around like loose change, but rather give your contribution to the world with great reverence. This light; your gift was given to you freely and with profound love.

So, in conclusion, you must be willing to share your gift with an equivalent devotion.

Blessings Abound

Realms of Consciousness

This month at Temple de Lumiere we celebrated the archetype of the Enchantress, which was presented by Souzi Wilson. I would like to acknowledge Souzi for her wonderful presentation that centered around family, forgiveness and sensuality. Her message really brought home the power of love and forgiveness. At the end of Souzi’s story she graced us all with a joyful song that she wrote called “Forgive Yourself”. Thank you again Souzi for sharing your beautiful voice and story with us.

The other part of our morning was spent exploring the four realms of consciousness and how these different levels of reality are not just some lofty experience we have in meditation, but rather they are indeed real levels of experience in our daily life. What follows is a description of how we can work with each of our archetypes in these realms to fulfill our true purpose in life.

Physical Realm (OUR EARTHLY NEEDS)                                                                    

What is the nature of your life purpose? This is where you draw on the qualities of your particular archetype in the physical sense. This archetype helps you to stay focused on your true nature in your life/business/vocation. By identifying with the particular attributes of this cornerstone you gain finer distinctions regarding WHAT your foundational aptitude is and then accordingly activate it in your life. This archetype is the driving force behind the way you present your self in the world.

Emotional Realm (FEELINGS & RELATIONSHIPS)                                                    

Why are you in this particular vocation/relationship? This archetypes true power stems from its emotional nature and is the one you draw from to get your message across. The way to be attractive in your vocation/life is by appealing to the emotional needs of your particular relationships/market or audience. Authenticity is paramount and this is the realm of feelings, so coming from your heart and rather than your head is the best way to deliver your communication/message. By applying the attributes from this archetype, rather than trying to copy someone else’s mode of conduct, you will feel comfortable and more confident in your style and delivery. When you are emotionally connected to WHY you are sharing your vision or your life, people will respond accordingly.

Spiritual Realm (CREATIVE PROCESS & SKILLS)                                                        

How do you like to operate and relate in your vocation? Here is where you connect to HOW you like to be creative; the way you like to express your inner resources and abilities. Ask yourself what creative systems/modalities do you like to work with the most. The attributes of this archetype will signify what sustains your inner world, your spirit. When you are unable to serve this part of yourself, it will show up in your vocation. A lack of spirit is not attractive; where as a vision that is alive with your own personal spark is what keeps people interested. The great thing about this insight is you don’t have to do anything but be yourself and be a creative expression of your vision in your life.

Celestial Realm (ALLIANCE & EXCELLENCE)                                                                  

Who are the people you want to serve or team up with? This is the key to finding out what your true niche is. This is how to best serve the people you are in alignment with in the world. These are the people WHO want to benefit from your highest and most refined talents. This is where you really shine; using the attributes of this particular archetype will help you identify and attract the people who want to listen to you, buy your products and use your services. These attributes are the key to revealing your true excellence and perfected nature. This is you matching your intention with the intention of creation and evolution. 

Loving Our Differences

We are not meant to only respect each other’s differences, we are meant to love them – that is the Creators intention.                                                                          

Pathways of Light are a valuable component of the Living Attributes system. There are three combinations and streams of energy defined as your pathways of light. Each pathway (contemplation, devotion, activation) has an important function that instructs you at a soul level of how to use your light. These light streams are what activate and illuminate the Cornerstones of your Sacred Temple.

What this means is that each Cornerstone has a particular relationship with the light. For example, the archetypical patterns in Contemplation are the collectors and weavers of light, while the patterns in Devotion are the receivers and givers of light and the archetypical patterns in Activation are the transformers and activators of the light.

Each one has a valuable and unifying function in the larger divine matrix. Understanding and following the divine order of our personal patterning creates a rhythmic and cosmic beauty and a creative platform for the birth of unity consciousness. In each realm, there is another person’s archetype patterning (cornerstone) that can support yours.

For example if you have the archetype of ‘the visionary’ in the Emotional Realm you could work with ‘the teacher‘ who is also in the Emotional Realm to help format your ideas, they could receive what you have collected and help you by giving back to the whole; the community, the world, which ultimately creates the reality of unity consciousness.

 Contemplation – FROM THE CREATOR collectors and weavers of the Light

  • This is where you receive WHAT it is that you need to do in your life. This cornerstone or these cornerstones are connected to the light stream for true inspiration. A place you visit within, which opens you to your Divine guidance.

 Devotion – FOR THE CREATOR receivers and givers of the Light

  • This is where you receive WHY you do it. These cornerstones are the portals to the power of being fully present. This light stream is where you match your intention with Gods intention.

Activation – WITH THE CREATOR transformers and activators of the Light

  • This is where you receive HOW you do it. These cornerstones are the portals for the light streams of motivation and initiation. This is where you find your pathway of – “For the greater good of all.”

As you can see, we all connect with the Creator in different ways. Some through pure intention, others connect in the doing and being with others or nature, while others prefer to emerge in the arts or meditation. It’s fascinating and somehow comforting to know.

The precious gift I see in all our diversity is that we are the way we are for reasons we can’t even fathom. If we could see the true beauty in the order of all our complexities, we would indeed witness the true nature and glory of THE CREATOR.

I invite you to share some of your valuable differences and insights.

The Power of Story

This month at Temple we celebrated the Festival of Story Telling and the Teacher archetype and the attribute expressive.

In my opening presentation at Temple yesterday, with much jubilation, I announced it was our 1st Birthday. So much has been shared, experienced and discovered in that 12 month period. Plus it was our first Festival of Story Telling, which proved to be fantastic. I spoke on my favorite topic; STORY……….. Here is my story about story.

I believe our human story began with the evolution of human consciousness, which then started to build the earths noosphere (the thinking layer of earth). When men and women began to share their stories; their art, on the walls of their caves we began to grow our ability to relate to each other.  Some how we knew it was important to tell of our experiences, how we hunt, how we travel, how we live and how we dream. It became a quintessential part of our human experience, the ability to tell story is indeed our rudimentary foundation. Simply put, with out story we don’t know what we believe in, but with story we can define our heritage, find meaning in what matters to us and learn what is good and bad. Story can be fact or fiction and still have the same effect, if we can relate to the characters or images in a story we can be moved by its message. Story doesn’t always have to deliver a profound message, it can simply be delightful, humourous or even practical.

I always see story in three parts, it has a past, a present and a future.

The amazing discovery about story for me was, we are the story, there is no story without us. Because without us, coupled with the brilliance of imagination there is no story to tell. Everything you see, hear, taste, touch and think about has a story attached to it. It may not be an amazing story, but never the less it still has its own story.

All story has its contributing value, it may be good, it may be bad or it may be neutral, what ever it is, its still contributing to the collective consciousness.

What is your story?

What is your back story, what is your present story and does your future story have a brightness of future? Perhaps you have taken on a story that doesn’t match the one you want to share with the world. There is only one time to start a new and inviting story and it is NOW! Start creating the story that you want to contribute to humanity. Be the story you want to hear, be the story that new and exciting generations are built from……

Express yourself!

I would also like to thank Cherie for her generous contribution. Cherie shared her experience of having a Teacher archetype. She exquisitely expressed her personal story and how not knowing parts of our authentic story can fundamentally change who we are. The reveal of her beautiful and heartfelt story was a true gift, she contributed the power of story through her own story. Magnificent Cherie, thank you.

Love Elizabeth

I invite you to share your thoughts and feelings on the power of story?
