THE TWO SIDES OF YOUR GIFTS

Posted on by

Beloved,

How has your weather been? Up and down? My lake froze once,then thawed and then froze again. We had snow so the snowmobilers had a wonderful day last weekend and the lake lost it’s smooth coat of white. The next day the temp went up and we had so much rain that the snow disappeared and then a real quick freeze so now it is ready for ice skating but I have not seen any skaters out there. My street and driveway could serve as a skating rink because the water from the rain storm froze before it could get to the lake. Well, it has not been boring because Mother Nature is keeping us in suspense all the time.

The energies have been disconcerting since the New Year began. If there was something we did not address in ourselves in 2013, it popped back up with perhaps a different scenario. In December, 2013, I joined a course to have an Ebook published by Kindle at the end of January. I was given some material to read two weeks before the classes began. Have you ever made a commitment like that and all of a sudden, everything else in your life seems to magnify and your time and energy is whittled away? That is what happened to me. I am an author of the book “The Wounded Chalice” so I thought creating an ebook would be a piece of cake even though my present book is in ebook form also.

I was committed to this so I did my best. I attended the first class and was surprised that I did not know the language of Facebook and even of the computer. The teacher spoke quite fast in order to give us as much as possible but my brain did not understand a lot of the terminology that others take for granted so it just could not absorb it all. We have our own Facebook page which all 223 of us used as a means of connecting. Well, most of the other students were well versed in the lingo and also in using Facebook. We were to create a fan page, and our own group so our supporters could be there for us. (I know you would have been there for me).

I have been on Facebook for 6 years but only use it so my newsletters can be there for anyone who wishes to read them. I KNOW NOTHING OF THE WORKINGS OF FACEBOOK. I did not know where to start, how to send messages, which ones would be private or which ones would be read by the general public. We were to create our own book cover so I spent some time checking this out to see what I would use but again, I was a novice. Scrivener was suggested but I had no idea what it was or how to use it. I have a deep appreciation for the other students who knew how to find the art or how to use their blogs for their book. It was suggested we do a series so we had to decide what the series would be about so we could break it down into sequels. Guidance has given me the title of my next book so I thought I would create a series instead of just one book.

After the first class, I knew I was in trouble. It takes me much longer to even the use the computer as I do not know the shortcuts let alone try to pull together all you need for a book. It made my first book look like a piece of cake. Of course, it took me two years to write my first one and self publish with a Print On Demand publisher. I only had a month to do this. I have plenty of material, my newsletters for one but finding out how to combine in the physical world of computers, I drew a blank. I find writing easy so I was not concerned about the actual writing of the ebook, it was all the other pieces that needed to be put in place. In my heart, I think the Facebook part was the last straw. I valiantly stayed another week but knew in my heart that it just was too quick for me. I could not be Jack be NImble and Jump over the Candlestick.

I did make an appointment at a neighboring Senior Center to at least get some basics on Facebook. I can learn one on one, face to face. But to learn from the computer or just listening or reading the instructions, my brain just does not compute the info. Soooo….right now I am dealing with the emotions of feeling like a quitter which is something I do not take lightly. Once I make a commitment,(I am stubborn) I hang in there even if it is by my fingernails. On the bright side, at least I know more about Facebook so maybe I will get more active in it once I get to practice. I also know now that my time will be well spent if I get more instruction on how to operate the computer with much less aggravation and more ease and agility.

Of course, being committed is an asset but like all the gifts we have, they also have their opposites. After all, we live in the realm(dimension) of duality. We now have the opportunity to live in a realm of TRIALITY. That is the fifth dimension and is where duality; good and bad, warm and cold, etc. is balanced into triality. It is where the masculine and feminine are balanced into triality. Triality is a peaceful blend of all the Gifts of Spirit. It is a realm of peace, acceptance, compassion and most of all LOVE for humanity and all forms of life on this beloved planet, Earth. I CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE REALM OF TRIALITY WHERE ALL LIFE IS BALANCED.

I want you to know that I am grateful for you and for all the gifts you offer me and the world.

Do take the time to see and listen. The artistry in its combination of visuals to music is inspirational! It brought tears to my eyes…

I received this email this week and I was amazed at what I learned from listening to Anna Galland, from the Move-On Civic Action group. I do not usually send you links with this kind of information but since I was so intrigued, I thought you might like it. WE, THE PEOPLE will be taking over the reins and this had so much information.
Dear MoveOn member,

I had a chance to represent MoveOn members on C-SPAN’s flagship show Washington JournalSunday morning. I discussed what 2014 could look like for the progressive movement and America at large, and took questions from callers across the country on issues from climate change to economic inequality to health care.

This is a gift to you from the Divine Feminine

Just a reminder that angels do exist, check it out.

I hope I have not overwhelmed you with all of this information but there is so much coming in now and events and perspectives are changing not on a daily basis but on a hourly basis. Hang on for the ride.

DIVINE SOLSTICE AND PORTAL

Posted on by

Beloved,

Today the sun is out. Whenever the sun is out, it is a good day. I even got to sunbathe for 15 minutes until the phone rang and I received another request to borrow money from a family member. I leaned to say no in my travels through life but my weakness is my family. The requests always upset me as I struggle with myself. If I can donate to strangers, why can I not do it for my own family? With strangers we feel free to say either yes or no, with family there appears to be no choice. I struggle mightily with my answer as I feel I am on a seesaw, yes one minute and no the next minute.

If my loan would help avert a crisis, that is one thing. But…there always seem to be a crisis. And…they are legitimate crisis’. Being overdrawn at the bank so the automatic deposit will be taken to pay it thus leaving me no money to pay the rent…. the check for my rent bounced and I received an eviction notice….I don’t have money for my prescriptions which are ever so necessary….my car insurance is cancelled so how can I get to work or anywhere else. Soooo, my loan helps only in the moment until the next crisis

Most families have one person who seems to take on all the burdens even if they are self made. One scapegoat that has such a low personal opinion that they fulfill that prophecy to the letter. I am well aware that they are here for us to be able to find forgiveness, compassion and wisdom. Every person in our life is here because we asked them to be. They are here so we can teach them as much as we are here to learn. I THOUGHT I HAD LEARNED ALREADY! All I want for my loved ones is they are healthy and happy. I try to stay out of their business and let them lead their own lives even if I do not agree with them about how to do it.

These people sincerely do not realize just how small their world is, it contains only them. It is like the caterpillar in the cocoon. If only they would reach out and share who they are in whatever small way they can, it would create an opening for the world to give back to them what they need. In their minds, they are trying as hard as they can and they cannot understand why these things keep happening to them. What they don’t realize is that they feed on drama. They need the drama to help them feel alive and when they are in drama, people give them what they think they need. What they need is self esteem and self love. What they need is to feel inside themselves is the love they are seeking from others . Love thyself first., fill thyself up with love so that you have love to give. If you are empty of love, you have none to spare. These people do not love themselves even though they carry the air about them that they do not need others. They isolate themselves from society so they will not feel the hurt of rejection. I have reached my limit though and demanded a consequence( other than repayment) that has to be fulfilled or my answer is NO for all future requests. This consequence is one that the person has been avoiding but which I feel will help down the road so it is not something that can be done just one time. It is to be done weekly or my bank is closed. I have promised this to myself and I do not break my promises even to myself. I guess I can call a promise a vow and they are sacred…at least to me.

I need to thank this person for bringing up in me my fear. My fear of not being enough for my family, of not having enough love to solve all their problems, of being vulnerable, of being angry with them for not being who I wish they were, of challenging myself for my IDEA of who a mother is or should be, of being independent because I never had anyone to depend on, of not trusting in the Universe to care for those I love, for not giving them enough credit to take care of themselves, for the arrogance I feel that I SHOULD be able to care for them, for failing my idea of what or who a mother is, for bring up all my perceived limitations that I might look at them and surrender them to my Higher Self and to God. These are gifts even when they do not feel like gifts. Do you ever receive these gifts? Do you have someone that challenges you, especially at Christmas?.

Thank you for letting me share this episode with you, it really helps my heart and mind to release all I am feeling. I am so grateful for you, without you there would be no need to write this newsletter as there would be no one to read it. You are THAT important to me.Let us be there for each other and not just because it is in this season of LOVE. Christ is born in everyone and I empty myself that the Christ in Christmas is born in me.

I don’t know about you but I need some laughter and lighter energy about now. Enjoy.

I’m sure you are aware that tomorrow, Dec 21 is the Solstice. Hurray, tonight is the longest night of the year so from now on, each day will get to be longer and there will be more daylight. There are many meanings to LIGHT so I will be happy to have more sunlight, more light in my ideas(AHA moments) and deeper aware and understanding in the Divine Light. Here is a great article that explains the rest.

My desire is that this Solstice awakens in you the opportunity of this Portal and use the energies of this time to awaken in you the LOVE THAT IS YOU. With this next link is the joy that is given by the simplest act of Love for one another. Let it bring Joy to your heart. After all that is the reason for the season, JOY!!!!

AWESOME BLESSINGS

Posted on by

Beloved,

How are you doing with your Christmas plans? It certainly is a very busy time of the year yet I wish you to give yourself a gift…a gift of time to breathe and go within. Fill yourself first and then your love will just spill over like one more drop of water in a glass that is full of water. It will be effortless and you will so enjoy sharing your love with everyone.

I miss the 20 minute meditations that Oprah and Deepak Chopra provided in their 21 Days of Meditation. Would you believe that I even got a sunburn on my chest as I sat in the sun while I was listening to their meditations? Of course, I must admit that the sun had been out for three days in a row so it cumulative. With my new full glass doors that do not have that film to prevent the sun from bleaching your possessions, the sun is clear and much warmer than what comes in my regular windows. I had to order them special and, of course, pay more but it was worth it. I still have not settled in my mind why what used to be “normal” costs so much more now than the altered product. I guess glass is like food, we have to pay more for the “real” thing in order to promote the use of “artificial” products??????

I came across a woman named Dr. Lissa Rankin and she is all about self healing which she speaks about from her own experience as well as from her doctorate in medical healing. It was so interesting so I downloaded her FREE self-healing kit and I am so impressed. I also did her 20 minute meditation which touched me with its truth. I now have another 20 minute meditation that I intend doing each day sun or no sun. Take a peek and see if it makes as much sense to you as it does to me.

ABOUT MIND OVER MEDICINE

Mind Over Medicine: Scientific Proof That You Can Heal Yourself will help you heal yourself, whether you’re battling a life-threatening illness, saddled with a “chronic” health condition that Western medicine hasn’t been able to cure, battling nuisance symptoms that decrease your quality of life, or just hoping to optimize your energy, vitality, looks, and longevity.

Not convinced you can heal yourself? You’ll think again after reading this book. As a skeptic herself, Dr. Lissa Rankin makes an irrefutable case, documenting with cold, hard science that the medical establishment has been proving that the mind can heal the body for over 50 years. In this book, she not only illuminates and translates the convincing data; she also teaches you the 6 step process that will optimize your body’s natural self-repair mechanisms and make your body ripe for miracles. (Read Kris Carr’s Foreward and a sample chapter here).

I realize that this next article is about Thanksgiving but it touched my heart so to realize just what the significance of the comet ISON really was. I was not aware but am so grateful to know the inspiration and help that the Universe is providing for us . Check it out!

http://spiritlibrary.com/dana-mrkich/the-thanksgiving-and-appreciation-comet?utm_source=Spirit+Library+Updates&utm_campaign=ff899c2165-Daily_Update&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_ef6a5211f4-ff899c2165-120804410

When I was going through my dark night of the soul for five years, I used to actually cry and beg God to take me home. I would ask: “Why oh why did you just drop me off on this planet where there is so much hurt and heartbreak”? I never felt like I fit in even with my own family. I could not fathom being actually physically born on earth even though I loved my mother dearly. She was the only human person who ever loved me unconditionally and I can still make that claim today. I really did actually feel and I could see myself as a waif who was just dropped off and my parents must have found me and brought me home with them.

One day as I was doing my daily prayers( supplications), and asking to be taken off this planet, I heard: “Mary, you have it backwards!. You are not leaving here to go to heaven, you came to bring…HEAVEN…. to Earth”. Suddenly, it all made sense. I stopped asking to be taken and started to ask for guidance on how to bring Heaven here. This article by Steve Rother struck a chord with me as I have never heard this perspective before. See what you think.

I get a daily inspiration from Christine Kloser which starts my day. It is quite a reminder to me of what is true and what is real. What do you think?

Stand in Awe

Everyday holds a million miracles, so allow yourself to notice some of them. You’re heart will beat 100,000 times today without any conscious effort on your part. Your lungs will generate approximately 25,000 life-giving breaths in the next 24 hours. There are estimated to be 300 sextillion stars in the Universe – and, only ONE magnificent YOU! These are just a few small reminders of the awesomeness of life itself. Stand in awe of these (and the many other miracles you’ll witness) today.

Love and blessings,

Christine Kloser
