GRASSHOPPERS & ILLUSION MADE MANIFEST

Posted on by

Beloved,

Happy Labor Day!!! Does it feel like fall to you? We have had
several nights now in the 50’s which is so good for sleeping. And…
the kids are going back to school so I guess it is time to rev up
our engine and get busy. This summer I found myself not “wanting”
to do anything. Whether it was the heat or just my body taking a
prolonged rest, I am not sure. I so enjoy the heat except it makes
it feel so much colder when you go in any of the buildings that house
grocery stores, doctors, hardware or clothing. I thought we were
supposed to conserve energy, it certainly does not feel that the
companies are conserving.

Have you ever had something happen to you that you would have thought
was impossible? Were you grateful that you had a “witness” so others
would not think you were crazy? Now, I believe that there is a reason
for everything that happens even when we can’t find a reason for it.
You might find out the reason years later, they are part of AHA moments.

I know that all things are connected, not just living things but even
rocks which appear not to have life but they actually do, they are
formed from living organisms. Everything on earth has a vibration
and frequency. Some things like rocks just vibrate at a much slower
speed and some like the hummingbird have a very high vibration and
frequency. Have you ever felt the energy of a crystal?

For years now, I try to be aware of what is happening around me and
to me. I have a special bond with ALL animals as I know they allow
themselves to be used as messengers for us. Have you ever had the
experience of an animal or insect suddenly appearing out of their
normal context? Whether that is out of their “season” or their
normal habitat? Has an animal suddenly crossed in front of your car?
Or you notice a bird flying that you never noticed before?

There is a fence that separates the Lakeland Beach from my yard.
When I came to my home here for the first time with a realtor, a
Great blue Heron met us at the gate between the beach and my yard.
Now, they never walk across a beach as they only walk at the water’s
edge. I KNEW that was sign to me that this was to be my home. Has
anything like that ever happened to you?

Last Sunday, I watered my plants outside before leaving to go to
a Meet-Up with other spiritually minded people. I felt something
bite me on my left buttocks but could not find anything. I came in
the house and took off my pants and checked them but again nothing.
I didn’t pay any more attention and when my friend came, we took off
with me driving the hour long trip.

While we were in the circle and listening to the presenter, I felt a
bite on my right buttocks so I put my hand there. It felt like a
round scaly thing like something had dried on my pants? But…it
was not on the outside of my pants and since I did not want to
disturb the speaker, I just got up and shook my leg and my pants with
my hand hoping something would fall out of the leg. No activity.

When the break came, I went to the ladies room so I could check. I
took off my outer pants and there was nothing there. I took off my
underpants and nearly fainted in shock. There was a GRASSHOPPER
attached to them. I was in shock and my mind would not work as to
what to do now. I noticed some feet in the next stall so I asked
the person who she was. It turned out to be the assistant to the
presenter so I opened the stall door a little and showed her my
underpants with the grasshopper attached.

I did not want to kill it so I asked her if she would shake them
out of the window but I think she was scared of the grasshopper
so she suggested that I flick it off and leave it in the bathroom.
Since I still could not think, I flicked it and it hopped onto the
floor and under the sink. I then got dressed and joined the group
who had been told of my “episode”. They were all as shocked as I was
except we were all giggling. HOW did it get there, everyone wanted
to know. It must have done quite a large leap up my pant legs when
I was watering the outside plants. How else could it have gotten
there?

My shock was that it had survived my sitting in the car for an hour
and then my squishing it when I felt the bite. Why did it not
shake out? It must have attached itself to the cotton in my underwear.
I never knew that grasshoppers bite, I used to catch them all the time
when I was a child. I could find no bite marks but had two small round
black marks on my white jeans. They must have been caused by some
secretion that came from him? Also, since I “felt” the bite on both
sides of my body, left being female and right being male, I knew
that my Divine Masculine and Divine Feminine are now balanced. What
a gift that was and what a way to receive the message.

ie, I asked Jesus why I received the message in that manner and he
simply said that I was not listening to my guidance so it came
through in a way that I would pay attention to. What a gift!!!

Pay attention to that still small voice which is your guidance.

By the way, as I was leaving the meeting, I took a cup and caught
the grasshopper. I let it go outside and was teased about having
the grasshopper crossing state lines as I live in Massachusetts but
was leaving it in Connecticut.

I have an Animal-Speak book by Ted Andrews which is a Comprehensive
Dictionary of Animal, Bird,& Reptile Symbolism. I checked it when
I got home even though I knew that Grasshoppers symbolize leaping
forward. The key note is: Uncanny Leaps Forward. I will accept that
gift.

Some interpretations are: Grasshoppers have a knack for being
in the warmth and light and knowing when to make their leaps. Trust
your own instincts and rhythms. Listen to your own inner voice to
know when to make your moves in any area of your life. Sometimes
grasshopper can show up if we are not listening or if we are afraid
to make the leap off our mound. Many times Grasshopper people have
to learn to make new leaps. Life only becomes difficult when they
refuse to move.

Has a grasshopper shown up in your life?

When the Great blue Heron showed up, I checked the book also. It’s
Keynote is: Aggressive Self-Determination and Self-Reliance. It
reflects an aggressive movement toward opportunities that present
themselves. I KNEW without looking at the book that it was definitely
a sign from God that this is where I supposed to live. I still
checked the book though as it is fun to get confirmation.

Miracles are only illusion made manifest. Here is something
that we would have thought was a miracle except we have concrete
proof that is created by the earth and the minds of a creator.

This shows amazing creativity, but is also a strong
indication of the competition the Western world can
expect from China and other developing countries
in the decades ahead.

ARE ILLUSIONS REAL?

Posted on by

I have been pondering on how to explain or put into words the AHA
moment I had when I was kayaking this week. Have you ever tried to
explain to someone something you “felt” or “spiritually experienced”
but yet had no words to express?

I love to kayak as you know and my favorite time to do that is when
the water is perfectly still so it feels like I am actually floating
in glass. There is no wind to push me but there is no wind against
me either. As I am in the water, I can see the mirror image of the
trees, the homes, or whatever else is in the water and it gives me
an eery feeling because the depth perception is off as it gives you
a “double”. As above so below. The docks are twice as deep or high
depending on how you look at it. The boats give you an eery feeling
as you actually see it differently than you are used to.

I have experienced gliding through the trees’ image or even the
house image which is disconcerting to say the least but this time
I got a whole different view of what was happening. I deliberately
aimed my kayak at the images in the water and, lo and behold, the
images kept moving away from me. I was unable to glide “through”
because as I moved, the image moved away. It was always just beyond
my physical reach???? Was it because one side of the lake was in full
sun while the other side was in the shadows?

The closer I got, the smaller the mirror image got. It was as if my
mind was playing with me. I was never able to actually touch the
image with my kayak. The only rational explanation I came up with
was that it had something to do with the sun which was creating
the shadow image although with the still water, the image was as
clear as the so called “real” thing.

I really felt like I was in an illusion and suddenly was hit with
the realization that life itself is an illusion. This has been said
by many spiritual people and I know we can change the “illusion” by
simply changing our perspective about the situation. Everything is
in our mind as our mind is what creates our reality. Huh?????

How many people have said that life “is only a dream”. When you are
in a dream, it FEELS so REAL! Sometimes you wake up and have a hard
time waking up as you can still FEEL what you were dreaming about.
Was it an illusion? How do you know? Are our dreams the REAL reality?

Our bodies respond to dreams just as if it was actually happening
for real. How many times are we told to live our DREAMS? Our
imaginations (minds?) feel real and it is the ticket to fulfilling
our dreams. It is the stuff that makes our dreams come true in this
physical reality. In fact, our bodies respond to our thoughts (dreams?)
just as if it was happening in reality.

Am I confusing you? I am confusing myself. There is so much to life
and living that our mere mortal minds cannot grasp. Then there is
the heart where all our wishes are. If we respond with our hearts,
true reality is created. When we love, all is possible.

How many miracles have you heard of that happened because of Faith,
which is actually believing in something that is not seen but which
we know exists? I cannot see the wind yet I know it exists because
I “see” the effects of it. I believe in miracles and I know they are
created with LOVE. I know that my mind is what creates FEAR.

My eyes were playing with my mind of what I had believed to be true.
How many times do we think we see something that turns out not to be?
Just watching the birds fly over the water and suddenly they disappear,
or should I say, I can no longer see them but my mind tells me that
they still have to be there as there was no way for them to disappear.
Somehow they were in a “space” that my eyes could not see them but
they were still there in flight. I believe that is an optical illusion.
There is the word illusion again. How many illusions do you believe
to be true and yet are not?

Can you tell that my eyes were playing tricks on me but it sure sent
my mind into delving into the questioning vs the logical side of
what had happened. How many illusions do we believe that are simply
not true to our logical minds? Isn’t life mysterious? Just when
you think you have all the answers, life shows you another side of
the same thing.

I would love to hear from you if you ever experienced such a
situation and what was your conclusion. I think I “understood”
the deeper meaning while it was happening to me but now that I am
back on land, it almost feels like a dream.

I read an article that the reason we do not like the pictures
that are taken of us is because we are used to seeing our reflection
in the mirror which is not how others see us. When we look at a
picture of ourselves, it is how other people actually see us. The
picture shows us the side of our face on the other side of what we
see in the mirror so it is disconcerting to us and not familiar.

When I watched this video, it sent me into laughter. It is a play
between what we “know” and what actually happens in our minds.
This is meant for those with distinctive, mature tastes. It’s quite
entertaining and it gets better as it continues.

Not only that, but a whole lot of us can relate to this, as you’ll
see…

Enjoy!

Take a look at this. Turn up the volume.

IS GOD BOTH MASCULINE & FEMININE?

Posted on by

Beloved,

The town of Wales where I live is honoring its 250th anniversary by
having an 8 day celebration. It started with an enormous parade
included cardboard boat race (the boats are actually made out of
cardboard), oldie pictures and movies, water skiers who were fabulous
some were six skiers carrying six other skiers, boat parade, baseball
challenge between Police and Fire Dept., Black Hawk helicopter honoring
the veterans, a play about OUR TOWN, sock hop with a mysterious
Elvis making an appearance, a car show tonight with a Trasher truck?,
a Bass Derby, BBQ and multiple bands throughout the week.

It has been well attended and it has been fun as well as heart warming
seeing the people we know in many different scenarios. Much laughing
and eating as well as dancing has occurred and for a small town with
about 2,000 residents, we did ourselves proud.

I always start my weekly TV Show by saying the Lord’s Prayer in
Aramaic which is Jesus’ own language that he spoke when he was here
on Earth. I like to create sacred space where my viewers and I
are connected heart to heart and I guide them into feeling the Love
that Father/Mother God had for Jesus and vice versa bringing
them into the Love exchange so they know that they are loved just
as well since Divine Love always spreads to all who are conscious
of it.

Well, this week I was challenged in a friendly way about God being
only masculine and not feminine. I went to 12 years of Catholic
school and am still Catholic but as a child I did not see God
as this stern male figure who meted out punishments at the least
infraction. I saw God as a true Father who loved me and the whole
world and only wanted me to be happy. As I kept increasing my
knowledge of spirituality and religion, I came to believe that God
was in everything. After all, he created every single living thing
here on Earth and our Bible and Religion tells us that we were made
in the Image of God and since half of the humans were female, God
has to be part female too!

In fact, can I get profane here? God is also a cockroach as God
created ALL living things. There would be no “life” without the
Essence of God. The Divine is in all life and we are loved
unconditionally even if life is as small as an atom or a bedbug.

God is all encompassing no matter what name you call the Holy Presence.
God also told Abraham that his name is: I AM THAT I AM. How many
times a day do each and every one of us say: I AM……tired, sick,
happy, sad, angry, jealous, hungry, cold, warm, etc? If you pay
attention you will be surprised how many times you use God’s name
in just an hour let along a day. Are we taking the Lord’s name in
vain?

When I was about 8 years old, I was told that only Catholics could
go to heaven. That confused me so I went to my priest and asked
him if that was true as my little cousin who was my age was not
Catholic. He said it was true. I was adamant. I straddled my legs,
put my hands on my hips and said: “My God would not do THAT!”

Today, you don’t hear anymore about only Catholics going to heaven.
I KNOW that God loves us all without preference and someday we will
all be with the Divine in what we call Heaven. God is so much bigger
that we can conceive. Just look at your body and how billions of
cells are each in a different organ (religion) but together they
form a “body” which is you. The human mind could not have
conceived a human body that could work with all the billions of cells
doing their own jobs still be the “chalice” of the soul and have
the mind work as it does. That is the biggest miracle ever
performed. I see the earth as a body that contains billions of
cells (us) and each cell (you) fulfilling its purpose on Planet Earth
that it chose before it was conceived.
