Life is a Classroom

Life is a classroom where we learn to be who we are--extensions of the divine, of great love and awesome power to move mountains. ~ Jenna Ryan

Knowing is present tense. Faith is knowing even before manifestation. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen". Hebrews 11:1 Faith (believing before manifestation) is your power to create on this planet. 

Problems are distractions from the knowledge of your full power as the creator of your life. Strength comes by focusing your faith/power and overcoming obstacles. You have everything you need to fly RIGHT NOW. You're not missing a thing. You must only realize your power to make your own life happen. Lift off. You are pure potential. 

YOU. YOU. YOU are a vessel of power, a wellspring of answers, a universe of expansion lies within you. Go inside.

The understanding of the power of your thoughts is like fire, then electricity... You have untapped power inside of you.

Finding the right thought and holding it steady is like a treasure hunt leading to your destiny. #dotjenna #original 

That which to hate expands that which to love. Evil expands good. Death expands life.

As life has seasons, so does the spirit. As life has ages, so does the spirit. Divisions amongst God expands that which to love.

You were created to tap into the divine within and pour out its riches to the younger ones.

The way to fulfill your burning desires is not the way you think. No. It will take different thought--that you must find--to get there.

Whenever you are ready, your suddenly will come.

Your faith is your power to move mountains and manifest the truth of who you are, that burning desire in your heart.


You can spread your wings and fly right now simply by choosing to do so. You can choose the feeling & lightness as you soar to your dreams.

YOU can spread your wings and fly right now. Contrary to what you think, you don't have to go back to the beginning & get what you missed.

If you don't think it's holding you back, it's not. If you think it's holding you back, it is. So STOP IT.

Whatever you feel is holding you back is only holding you back because you feel it. Dismiss the notion and watch the obstacle melt away.

You are the very heartbeat of God.

Whatever obstacle you face, whatever thorn in your side is the weight which builds strength for fulfilling the purpose of your life.

Faith is knowing before seeing, feeling before being and believing before manifesting. ~ Jenna Ryan

FAITH is knowing BEFORE it reaches the 5 senses. Belief that moves mountains occurs in the realm of power that you can't see, taste, touch, hear, smell--yet...  




Mastery of the realm of possibility is the main purpose of life, tapping into the divine & expanding its power by faith unto manifestation.

Whatever you were born to carry out will require that you take the leap from the here, now and into the realm of possibility.

The burning desire in your heart to be more, do more, see more is a divine purpose that you were born to carry out.

Obstacles in your way represent the divide between what you see today and what is truly possible for your life if you raise your expectation

The leap of faith required to reach your dreams is a vast divide between knowing what you see now, and believing in your own power to create

Your dreams lie on the other side of knowing that you have the power to foster beliefs that align with your wishes to usher you in.

The bridge from feeling to knowing is the pathway to the divine, owning the power that lies within to create a life that you dreamed up.

If you want to feel the satisfaction of the manifestation of your heart's desire, you must know it before it comes to past.

Satisfaction is the feeling that comes when you experience your heart's desire. To reach for your hearts desire, you must only line up with the FEELING of satisfaction BY FAITH. 

Satisfaction is a feeling that comes from seeing the evidence before it manifests.

Feeling is reaching, knowing is grasping. You feel your way to knowing.

Faith is the feeling before knowing.

Knowing is present tense. Faith is knowing even before manifestation.

You FEEL loving another because you can't get out of yourself and truly know the other. (Not in the actual sense), but you KNOW their love.

How does it feel to be loved? You don't feel it. You know it.

FEELING leads to knowing. 

Feeling is on the path to knowing. #dotjenna #original

Knowing is the solid form of feeling.

Life is a classroom that teaches the willing who you are, and the power that lies hidden within. You must seek it to find it. Find it by searching for the right thoughts, feelings and beliefs.

Part II: How to Rise Above Negative Emotion

This is a continuation of Part I: How to Rise Above Negative Emotion.

First, let me say, that a huge part of rising above negative emotion is to feel your frozen feelings. You must allow yourself to feel all the repressed feelings that you hold inside from degrees of abuse you experienced as a child. Once you've completed that process, you will come to a place where you're ready to take the next step in rising above the negative feelings you hold in your heart.

The next step in rising above negative emotion requires that you do the following:

Separate from the Negative Emotion

You must see yourself as who you really are, who you were meant to be, and you must see the negative emotion for what it really is. Negative emotion is a part of you that believed a lie that is contrary to your divine truth. Negative emotion is felt when your beliefs are out of alignment with the truth of who you are.  

Negative emotion is NOT YOU. It may FEEL like you, you may have thought that it was you, but it is NOT YOU. It has nothing to do with you, it is separate from you. It is false, it is something that is "out-there," not "in-here." Once you start depersonalizing the emotion, you can start to separate those parts of you that are true, from the parts of you that are false, not yours and that need to be disposed of little-by-little.

The Truth is... You are love, you are accepted, you are wanted, you are love. Any time you hold a belief that you are anything less than the divine soul that you are, you feel negative emotion. You feel badly. These negative emotions are energy-in-motion which send vibrations out into the universe and return to you more of the same, thus proof that you are right in feeling badly. It's a vicious cycle that must be stopped if you ever want to move ahead in your life and rise above it.

1. Know Who You Are
2. Know Who You're Not
3. Stop Taking Negative Emotion Personally

Stop Taking Your Bad Feelings So Personally 

If you're like me, you have feelings of negative emotion and immediately associate those bad feelings with who you are as a person. This is the epitome of feelings of worthlessness, unworthiness, low self esteem. These feelings would dwell in my heart and cause all sorts of thoughts to crop up about why I wasn't good enough, less than others, undeserving of the goodness that life has to offer. It was a spiral. I took every negative, sad, depressing, hopeless, shameful thought directly to heart. I believed what my emotions were saying about me as if it were my truth.

I've since learned to call a spade a spade. No longer do I incorporate bad feelings into my truth. I see bad feelings as something that is separate from me, and I do not allow it to touch my feelings of self worth and value. Just because I have a bad emotion doesn't mean that I am a bad person. Just because I have bad thoughts about my worth and value doesn't mean I have to act on those thoughts or believe those thoughts. I can stop myself in the midst of a spiral of negative emotion and subsequent negative thoughts and begin the process of fighting for my truth.

What a breakthrough!!! When you can stop yourself in the places that typically cripple your heart, crush you, cause you to fall back, sabotage yourself and beat-yourself-up, and you can begin taking a stand for your truth by arguing with the negative thoughts, thus changing your very opinion of the situation... That's when you start reprogramming your mind to believe new things about yourself. Whatever you believe about yourself is what you manifest in your life. You get what you feel you deserve.

When you reprogram your thought processes, rethink your thoughts, you cause new feelings and emotions to emerge. These new emotional vibrations are more empowering and beneficial to you and will bring the equivalent match into your life in terms of success and the things you want. These new thoughts, feelings, emotions (vibrations) will spur actions in you that are in alignment with the truth of who you are, not who you falsely thought you were to be. It's a beautiful process!!!

Once you recognize the negative emotion, realize that the negative emotion is NOT YOU, but actually the epitome of what YOU'RE NOT, which is why it feels badly, you will then understand that the negative emotion is separate and can be dealt with when you're operating from a place of knowing your truth. Your truth is that you are good, you are love and the world is on your side. You are a co-creator on earth with God. You have power to overcome situations. Your thoughts matter. You get in your life what you believe you deserve AND you have power to change your beliefs.

That's all for now... More next time on taming the negative emotions and bridging the gap to attaining higher level feelings more in alignment with your divine truth. Stay tuned!!! XO

Why Do We Hold Onto Self Hatred That's Not Ours?

Usually we receive this hatred when we are vulnerable and lacking in boundaries, and before we have an understanding of Self vs. Other. So we often don't know that this hatred does not belong to us. In addition, if we live with constant abuse, then we are also imprinted with the belief that we MUST NOT FORM BOUNDARIES or say NO to the abuse, that we must stay open to "what we deserve". Our Belief System then says we deserve this, and that we must continue to accept it and hold it. Staying open to another person's hatred then, becomes the pattern for our lives. We may not have always known how to hold against this hatred. We may not have been able to form boundaries or say no to it. But we can change this now. We CAN give the hatred back. We can form boundaries to prevent ever taking in more hatred again. And we can heal the wounds the hatred created in our soul.  The Patterns of Self Loathing

Stop Fixing Yourself, You Are Not Broken

You are NOT broken. You do NOT need fixing. You just need to awaken to the beautiful, miraculous creation that you already are. Perhaps you were not taught this. Maybe you were misled. There is a tremendous SHIFT that occurs when you discover who you really are. The only thing that can be messed-up is your understanding of your true essence, your true nature and your true divinity. You are light, love and truth at the center of it all. Peel back all the layers, see yourself as you truly are, lift up your eyes and SOAR. 

Self Love comes from knowing who you are and bravely living your authentic truth. It's not about living up to society's standards, or being what your family of origin molded you to be. Loving yourself only comes from living YOUR truth unabashedly, and connecting to your source without shame.

The act of "fixing yourself" is the process of self loathing and a misunderstanding of the truth of your essence. When you feel you are broken, wrong or full of mistakes, then you are operating from a core belief of unworthiness. Nothing good can come forth from a core belief that is false. Any belief that you hold that is contrary to the truth of your wholeness, value, worthiness and divinity is damaging to your soul and will lead you askew. 

The key is to let the truth of your power, your light, your spiritual source inside shine and lift you higher. The world has tried to dim your light, to hide the truth from you and keep it hidden. This truth has been with you the whole time, and it has shown through--even when you may be afraid to admit it. This truth, this source, this power, this love, this light that lies at the center of your being is your answer, your key, your ticket, your miracle. 

You don't have to love yourself. YOU ALREADY ARE LOVE! You must only discover your true essence and honor that which you are. Anything less than knowing the truth will leave you withered and in pain. Pain comes only when you believe that you are less than what you truly are.

What is Love?

In my quest to find out how to love myself, I was faced with the question of "What is love?" If you want to love something or someone, what is it, exactly, that you are doing? What is the essence of love? What is the difference between true love and false love? This is my answer, always evolving--what I know today...

• Love is the mystery element that holds the universe in place.
• Love is everything, both visible and invisible.
• Love cannot be held, horded, bought or traded.
• Love cannot be manufactured.
• Love cannot be given or received, it just is.
• Love flows where love is.
• Love is.
• Love is light in the darkness.
• Love is eternal, infinite and timeless.
• Love is misunderstood.
• We are love, each of us.
• Our essence is divine love.
• Love is perfect; our essence is perfect.
• Love can hide in plain sight.
• You can see through love.
• Love never dies.
• Love fills and completes.
• Love is necessary.

• Love does not compete or compare.
• Love is not longing--love is fullness.
• Love finishes.
• Love is loyal, consistent, trustworthy, true.
• Love is patient, kind, forgiving.
• Love heals the soul.
• Abandoning yourself is removal from your source of love.
• Your source is love.
• You are love.
• The answer is love.
• You seek love that you already are.
• When you find love, you find yourself.
• The love you seek, you already have... you are love.
  
• Love is the answer.
• Love protects and provides. 
• Love nourishes, feeds and delivers.
• Love is eternal.
• Love is for you.
• A drop of love is the same as an ocean of love. 
• Love cannot be measured.
• Love is boundless.
• Love is open.
• Love encourages, blesses, benefits, adds.
• You cannot add to love, you can only uncover the truth of love.*
• Love has nothing to prove, except for itself.
• You cannot add to love, you can only uncover it.
• You cannot add to love, you can only remove the barriers to seeing it.
• Love comes only from within.
• Nothing outside of you can give you the love you need if you don't already know love inside.
• Love is wild and untame.
• Love has no agenda.
• Love is the truth.
• Love = Truth
• Love is reality.
• Love is committed.
• Love is bigger than we realize.
• Love is incredible.  
• It is impossible to "get" love, it is only possible to recognize that you already have it.
• No getting of love will last.
• The world is blind to the true essence within each of us--LOVE.
• Loving yourself means you know yourself.
• To know you is to love you because you are love.
•  Lies you believe eclipse the love that you are.
• Love is a verb, noun, adverb -- Love is everything.
• Love affirms and accepts. 

*Still testing these hypothesis. 

Loving oneself is about knowing that you exist as a manifestation of Pure Love. Denial of your true nature is denial of reality that causes pain, depression, epidemics and addiction.

A parents job is to raise their children to know that they are love; to mirror their identity, which is Pure Love, so that the child knows who he or she is and knows they are divine.

The problem of man is not lack of love, but lack of recognition of what is already inside, the stuff that we are each made of--the world is made of--the universe, existence. Life itself is LOVE.
