PRIDE OR TRUST

Posted on by

Beloved,

This has been such a time of introspection, perhaps which is what winter is for…to crawl into the cocoon and emerge as a butterfly with true freedom. Winter, especially in the North, is a gift in a way as it gives you the opportunity to slow down and ponder what the future will bring. The sad part is that there is always a future, a tomorrow, the next moment, which keeps us from embracing the present moment in all of its fullness. True happiness comes from being right here, right now, in this moment as it will never ever appear again as it is right now.

I am a planner and a big part of my enjoyment is figuring out what I am going to do next or where I will be going next. How efficient can I be? How can I do it faster? Which way would be the best way to go for me? What should I wear? Who will I be with? What will it feel like? I try to foresee the possible problems that might occur so I will be prepared to deal with them.

I have come to realize that this is what I take PRIDE in. What is pride? How does it make me feel? We humans like to take pride in many things because it means that we have done well. When all it means is that I am self-sufficient. There is a great deal of pride in being self-sufficient; it means I can do it myself. Thinking about this makes me “see” a little child who is adamant that it can do it all by itself without realizing that were many others around the child that had assisted it to get to where it is now. As a child, I wanted to do it “myself” without realizing that it was more fun if others helped. I needed that pride to make myself feel OK. I was valuable to others because I would help them without letting myself accept their help. Accepting help made me feel weak and I did not like that feeling.

Planners are very important to our society, yet allowing and following the flow of energy is a lot more fun. Have you ever tried to swim upriver? It is a tough job but humans take pride in trying to do it, including myself. I believe that TRUST is a trait that is the most important part of being human. Trust is not pride. Trust allows others to be with you on your journey on their terms and yet they are by your side. Can you imagine the Monarch butterfly flying all by itself on its journey? I think not, as it is a group effort with each butterfly assisting in the propulsion of the air flow so all arrive at their destination.

Brenda Hoffman says this so beautifully. Isn’t it amazing the synchronicities that pop up when you are not looking? When you are focusing on something, the Universe always manages to send you similar “pop-ups” to confirm or clarify where you are now.

David Hamilton gives us a male’s point of view which is just as true and another perspective.

Eckhart Tolle put it into a few words:
“The greatest difficulty is the mental resistance to things that arise, and the underlying assumption that they should not.”

Time to laugh, this made me feel so much younger when I stopped for a minute and remembered to play and laugh with myself.

LOVE AND LIGHT ON VALENTINE’S DAY

Posted on by

Beloved,

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY! It really warms my heart to receive your emails expressing your ideas and comments on my newsletter. Thank you.

This is a day for lovers, lovers of ALL. LOVE is the single most powerful energy on Mother Earth. Even the hardest heart is melted by pure unconditional love. Until these hard hearts see and feel that love, they are embroiled in bitterness and hate which are the heaviest and darkest energies. It takes only one candle in a dark room to lighten the heavy load of darkness and to light the way. Can you be that candle?

There is a special gathering tomorrow that you do not have to go out of your home to attend. Let’s all give Mother Earth a Love Hug which will be like an epidemic of Love overshadowing the whole planet and all the beings on it.

Do you remember when we gathered as a huge group to meditate for 15 minutes envisioning the peace for the people of Syria? Well, this is the latest news on the results of your loving energy.

Peace Agreement Signed for Syrian Conflict
A Miracle of Synchronized Meditation?

Ten days after millions of people gather for a
worldwide synchronized meditation, an agreement is signed in Munich to end the violence in Syria.

Many will think it was just a coincidence, but consider this: After nearly every worldwide synchronized meditation focused on an area of the world experiencing extreme violence and war, a peaceful solution was achieved within two weeks.

Are we taking credit for what happened today? Of course not. What we are doing is using this to illustrate what could happen if we continue this movement of peaceful, prayerful activism. My goal is to have an “Army of Light” ready to respond at a moment’s notice whenever a situation arises that needs our focus – at least a million people from around the world we can contact days or even hours before we gather to shower our energy on a given crisis. We hope you will continue to support this movement. You are not powerless, and this is the way you can help change the world!

WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO IT AGAIN? JOIN US.

Next we focus on the Heart of the Mother

Next week I will send out a video you can share with everyone you know. Our goal is ONE HUNDRED MILLION PEOPLE sending their energy and love into the heart of the earth – Mother India. I will be there with 3.5 million people celebrating peace, and there are already 10 million people registered for the prayer vigil. The synchronized meditation will take place on March 11, 12 and 13 at noon your local time. We want to create a wave of penetrating light that sweeps across the planet. Please help us reach our goal and continue this powerful movement.

Lightness Returns. This seems to be a prominent message that is being echoed all over the world. Will you latch on to this brilliant idea? (sorry, could not resist the pundit)

Solutions that the world needs are coming from our youth, are we paying attention? Can you imagine that the biggest medical scare right now is the ZIKA virus that is so easily spread? These young people have come up with a solution created from simple substances that are effective and we don’t have to pay high pharmaceutical prices for it. Kudos for our youth.

CHALLENGES ABATING THIS MONTH

Posted on by

Beloved,

Everywhere I look, I see souls that are in a quandary. There appears to be so much sadness, anger and confusion in the world. Even our political process is displaying this to us. I have just been through such a state which seemed to last so long as I look back yet as I was going through it, it was a series of events that kept coming. As I solved one situation, another would appear and so unexpectedly.

Even my youngest son, Bruce, is experiencing this.The quandary is showing up in such unusual situations that have not been commonplace in our own reality. His dog got lost in the woods which they both love to explore. One minute the dog is there and the next she isn’t. She was away from my son for 4 hours and all the different avenues that my son tried were to no avail. There were periods of despair, questioning all who might have seen her, going home and then returning again and again to the woods, hoping to catch sight of her. Finally, after the last return to the woods, some men working on the railroad had spotted her and were able to grab her but then…how could they locate my son? I know it was his intuition to ask these railroad men 3 hours before that alerted them to the missing dog and I recognize it was his intuition that led him back to the woods where he would find her being held by these men. Trust your own intuition.

Many emotions went through him in those 4 hours and left him empty of grief and drained of energy afterwards but very grateful and appreciative. Notice that he did not do this journey alone although he FELT alone. When we humans are being challenged either by our beliefs or by events that challenge our normal state of affairs, we do feel alone. But are we? No, of course not, yet our feelings tell us we are. Who or what are we to believe?

When I was going through the same emotions but under different circumstances, I tried to remember to breathe. To concentrate on the input and output of my breath that would initially relax my body and also my mind so I could arrive at a more reasonable solution to whatever was happening. I had my moments of despair and tears and then the release of emotions that I most likely had stored from my past. Emotions that I had buried deep inside of me because I had not been allowed to release them at that particular time of the event. January has been quite a challenging month with all of us experiencing trauma in our own unique way. February is clearing the air as well as your body so you are free to create exactly what you wish. Here is a great article giving a more detailed explanation.

There is so much I wish to share with you this week but I must choose. Right in this moment, I need some “good” news, how about you?

http://spiritlibrary.com/videos/robert-theiss/2016-the-integrated-human

You are not alone; all of us have been experiencing what you have gone through. Know that we are all in this together even when it does not feel like it.

This is for all of us who would like to remember “The Good Old Days” at least for a few minutes. This really brought me back to that time in my life. Enjoy it.

NOW, I dare you not to smile. There is no way you can stop yourself. What if we adults laughed every time we learned how to do something new instead of feeling the struggle that we perceive we are in? This will be put in my favorites to use when I feel I need a smile or a laugh.
