A POSSIBILITY OF FREEDOM

Posted on by

Beloved,

What a week of ups and downs this has been. Tuesday night I went to bed at 11:30PM, not waiting for the election results. The next morning I did something I never do, I put the TV on before I did my prayers or even ate breakfast. My heart sank but worst of all, this incredible sadness came over me. An American Muslim said it best. He said” I feel like this is the morning after 9-11”. I had no tears, the sadness was too deep. Not because a Republican won but because of who he is. He is not a good representative of what America is all about. He is a bully, a racist, a bigot and refuses to follow any rules, including the one about declaring his tax return. How come everyone else had to but he did not. You do not hide things unless there is something to hide. He does not even represent the Republican Party as there is no Republican that does not honor America or what it stands for. He spews out the energy of his superiority over any other living being and their well fought for laws.

Worst of all, he did not receive the majority vote, the most popular vote. Do you know of any clubs or organizations that do not follow the majority rule? I don’t. Every meeting held in this country follows that rule from the home, schools, sororities, clubs, small town governments, etc. In the United States, it is the law even in the courtroom with the juries. From the time we are little, we are taught that majority rules. Why does that not apply to voting rights? I feel so sad that my vote might be worth less or more than another person’s just because we do not live in the same state.

The electoral might have been fair many years ago before the advent of TV or the internet. But in these days, it is totally unfair. For years I have been upset with the electoral vote as it is racist and contrary to what we believe and that is in equality for every person in every aspect in America. WE are the land of the free.

Do you realize that the majority of votes that Trump received were from white males? Does that sound like the Ku Klux Klan? The Klan were bullies who made themselves superior to all who they decided were worthless so they could be done away with by any means possible while hiding their faces. Doesn’t that sound like what Trump did? To me, he is a perfect example of that. I, for one, do not want any person to think he is above the Law. Do you realize that Trump is of the 1% who is running this country today (or trying to anyway)? Do you think he cares about you or your concerns? Will you join me and millions of others to stop this raid on our government and our individual power? If enough of us pursue this opportunity we have, we will definitely make our wishes known to the ones who have been blind sighted.

I received this email last night that brought a little light or possibility that we who have the majority vote might still have a chance to bring America back from the brink of disaster.

Please do sign the petition! Seems like there is a possibility!

Politicians wonder why the attendance at voting is low and that is because we have discovered that our vote is actually worthless. Why bother to vote when it doesn’t count anyway. WE, as Americans, have been brainwashed into being apathetic. I still believe in the vote being the ONE thing that has been fought for and died over so that we will be free. Let’s change that apathy and prove that EACH vote is important and worthy to be counted. WE are one Nation and so each person is important and irreplaceable.

During my prayer time this morning, I could not stay in the peace and tranquility, my mind kept bring me back to the injustice that this member of the Ku Klux Klan is bringing to bear on the people of America. This morning I received this email which opened up even more possibilities. I am not alone and neither are you. We are strong as this email shows. Will you join us and let your voice be heard this time?

Here is a message that will lighten the load we carry and the encouragement to know who is actually in charge.

The whole planet and its people are experiencing the ups and downs of these times. Here is another good explanation.

Today is 11-11, a most powerful day and time for us to awaken to who we really are.

I realize that my subject for today has not been one of the most uplifting ones yet we need to know who and what we placing our trust in and what we can do about it. There is an uplifting when we find a possible solution and it is simple to do.

I was given a good suggestion for lifting our moods and it is so true. Go to You tube and put in “Children Laughing” and then watch your mood shift. Children are the innocent ones and the heart up-lifters.

THE BEAUTY OF OUR EARTH

Posted on by

Beloved,

It amazes me how often I am surprised by things that happen on the lake, especially since I have been here 20 years. Do you remember last week when I said I would just take my kayak out a little ways to be rocked by the boat waves on Sunday because it would be too hot to kayak? Well, I kept watching the lake and to my surprise although there were many boats on the water, they were not speeding around or even going anywhere. They were all congregated in the middle of the lake just sitting there. But…..the people on the boats were diving into the water and swimming around. They were having a grand time visiting with each other in the water. I have never seen that before. The air was so hot and humid that even the wind from being on the boat was too hot. It was much cooler in the water than they could get by being on the boat. I, myself, went into the water twice that day just to get my body cooler.

It feels to me that that day was the peak of summer and now the temperature and the humidity are easing their way out. I know it is the middle of August but it just feels so much like fall weather is right around the corner. Boy, summer is so much shorter than the other seasons. I am very grateful that I am not in the California fires or in the floods that are raging.

I am sure the planets and the sun are causing these different weather patterns. There is a full moon and a lunar eclipse which is the first of three that will be affecting earth in this next month. I am not an astrologer and neither do I follow my horoscope yet my spirit knows that the planet, climate change and also myself are affected by the movement that occurs in the entire universe.

Another explanation which is fascinating.

This is new information for me so I thought I would share it with you. I ordered these glasses for me and my two bi-polar sons. I will let you know how they work.

DEPTH, BEAUTY, AND POWER

Dear Spiritual Partner,

I am always amazed by the depth, beauty, and power of people. I see these things often at our events, and they thrill me. Last month at our first urban Journey to the Soul retreat, a large, beautiful, black woman stood to speak. She was big in size, voice, and presence, but she was trembling and struggling to find her voice. A previous sharing about loss had activated a frightened part of her personality, a part deep in terror, pain, rage, and humiliation. She spoke haltingly. “I am fed up with it. I am sick of being afraid. I am so tired of fearing the police. How many more of my black friends will be arrested, beaten, or killed?” She was sobbing with despair and rage and powerlessness. “Everyone I know who is black fears being stopped by the police. The police always have a reason. Its driving while black. Or breathing while black.” Now her whole body was shaking, and her face was wet with tears. She held to the back of a chair to remain standing. “I am fed up!” she struggled to say again. “FED UP!” Then she seemed to physically grasp herself and said in a different voice. “A frightened part of my personality is fed up. It has had enough. Enough!”

The transformation was palpable. Before she was speaking from a frightened part of her personality. Now she was talking about it. She was present again. Her shaking stopped, but her face was still wet. This strong woman was an executive in a multinational corporation. And she was black, terrified of the police, and had had enough. I could see her centering herself, scanninginterior places for painful physical sensations, and deciding not to act on them more. This was a moment of creating authentic power. It was intimate and heroic. As she moved beyond the fear of beatings and bullets, beyond the control of this part of her personality, she entered a courageous, compassionate, and caring part of her personality, and we all moved with her.

Another woman on the other side of the room stood up. She was small and blonde. “I am the wife of a cop,” she said. “My husband is not like that. I feel what you are saying, but he is not like that.” There we were, all of us, courageously experiencing the ragged tear in our country and in our world without the anesthetics of righteousness and rage. It took courage, because creating authentic power always does. It requires challenging painful frightened parts of your personality that are so strong they shake your body or so beguiling they envelop you in blaming. These two souls did neither. They cultivated loving parts of their personalities, the big black woman and the white wife of the white cop.

Our dear friend, Maya Angelou, often said, “We are more alike than we are different.” She was so right. We are all immortal souls learning how to love in the Earth school, in the domain of the five senses, in the realm of right and wrong, gain and loss, good and bad. This requires creating authentic power, and we all witnessed a moment of that creation, one of myriad moments in the life of each individual who is growing powerful – aligning personality with soul.

Can you challenge the frightened parts of your personality and cultivate the loving parts of your personality like these two women did and do? Can you create authentic power?

Yes, you can.

This video is so beautiful and so relaxing, It gives you inner peace as you get to appreciate what Mother Earth has been giving us all along.

WILL WONDERS NEVER CEASE?

Posted on by

Beloved,

I never thought I would live to see this day. When I heard on the news that Pope Francis was seriously looking into having women deacons in the Catholic Church, I almost choked. When I was a little girl, the biggest thrill for me was to be able to go to church every morning during Lent.. At that time, we had to fast from Midnight on before receiving Communion so my mom would make me egg salad sandwiches with hot cocoa which I would bring with me and eat after Mass and Communion. Now that I am an adult, I realize that I probably could have gone to Mass every day even if it was not in Lent, but at that age, I was only thankful that I could do it during that special time.

I fell in love with Jesus (Jeshua) and he was the only one I prayed to. God, he was OK, Mother Mary, she was OK but Jesus, HE was my guy. Do you know that I have a license plate on my car that reads: JESUS IS MY GUY. No kidding. Back as a child, little girls were not allowed up on the altar. Only boys could as altar boys as they were called then. Today the little girls get to go up on the altar and all of them are called altar servers. It certainly was a male dominated era. Even though, the nuns were female and taking care of the altar, they were allowed only to do the work so the priests could do what was considered important. It sounds so medieval as I write this.

20 years ago, I achieved my dream of being on the altar where things look so different as you see the altar more clearly without all the people’s heads in the way. And you see the rest of the church from a different angle. Before this, I always tried to sit in the front pew so I could “feel” more like I was part of the ceremony taking place.

Since I was young, I have been terrified of microphones. In fact, at one house party with other married friends, they liked to pass around a microphone to everyone but I always went to the bathroom when it was my turn. Evidently that was noticed and one night, before I could get away, they pushed the microphone in front of my face. Guess what I did? I broke down in the “ugly” cry, I was so terrified. I was so embarrassed. I was terrified of spiders too and many other things. When I got more mature, I made a promise to myself that I would conquer all my fears. After all, they were just in my head, weren’t they?

My brother tortured me with spiders as a child so I concentrated on that fear first. I would use my husband’s shoes for a year which was a big step as I would usually run from them. Then I graduated to using my own shoes and eventually graduated to accepting them and left them alone to be who they were. I became a Reiki Master which meant taking vows to honor ALL life including the insects and spiders. I found out later that they are a symbol for money or abundance.

I then focused on conquering my fear of public speaking and microphones. First I joined Toastmasters, a group where you learn to speak in front of others which of course meant handling and dealing with a microphone. I even won a humorous contest in Toastmasters while going through a divorce. I was on my way. I became a Eucharist Minister who gives Communion so that I could face people one on one and give them such a precious gift at the same time. Then I became a lector at church which terrified me, it meant facing the whole congregation. In Toastmasters, I only had to face other people who had the same fear. The first time, I was so nervous and my stomach and knees let me know that. I was still shaking after Mass when people kept coming up to me and saying: “I could hear you. I could understand you!”. I suddenly realized that my greatest fear was my greatest gift to the world. It seems my voice resonates at a tone that even the hard of hearing can hear clearly. What an awakening that was. With those two skills, I was allowed on the altar.

I remember when my church put out the ad looking for prospective deacons only a short 10 years ago. I asked about female deacons but they were not even in consideration at that time. I guess I am a female rebel at heart as I believe that all people should be considered equal. I am not able physically to fulfill the role of deacon now but I am ecstatic that other women will have the opportunity to participate in the religious ceremonies in a deeper capacity. Hoorah! Another win for womanhood and another big milestone conquered. Have you noticed just how much women have gained the right to be equal, at least in the USA. We even have a female Presidential Candidate. NOW, let’s spread it around the world.

I have tried hard to conquer all my weaknesses but have to admit, I still have more to go. I liked this message from Eckhart Tolle and his explanation of why we still have some lingering challenges.
