PEOPLE WE LOOK UP TO

Beloved,

I hope you got to join in the celebration of the Eclipse in some way.  I did not have glasses, they were nowhere to be found so I watched the two hour special on TV for the length of the Totality and I watched it going on at NASA on my computer.  It was kind of cool to have both and I got to see shots of the Eclipse that I would not have seen if I had been there in person.  I am sure all of you have heard about the Astronomer Without borders who are collecting the used glasses to bring to the kids in countries where they do not have access. They will be having a full Eclipse in 2019. Don’t throw yours out, they are still usable for the next eclipse in 2024 or donate them here

Gary Zukav has such a beautiful interpretation of the eclipses in our lives.  He brings much awareness  about self-love in this blog post.

Every eclipse of the sun represents symbolically the activation of a frightened part of your personality. While that part is active, it obstructs the experience of your love, which is represented symbolically by the sun. Yet in the midst of that obstruction there is a great deal of power and beauty that is visible physically in a total eclipse of the sun.

 

While the darkness obstructs the sun’s light, the great power of the sun can be seen around the perimeter of the darkness as bursts of energy, as brilliant displays of light. These are reminders of the cause of the darkness. It is an experience of a frightened part of your personality that is active. That part of your personality eclipses your love, and yet it is in consciously going into that experience of darkness that you develop the ability to move beyond its control. That is represented by the brilliance and power that is visible around the perimeter of the darkness when the eclipse is total.

 

When love is obstructed totally, there is still the power of love surrounding that obstruction. It is the reason for that obstruction – so that you can experience the obstruction, get to know it fully, and challenge it as it occurs and when it reoccurs – so that when it comes you recognize it for what it is, a temporary eclipse of your love.

 

Love,

Gary Zukav

 

How do you feel about GMO Food?  There is so much controversy about this subject but knowledge is power.  I have listened to the first two days of the series and am amazed at how much there is to know about this subject. And yet there is still a large number of people in the mainstream who still insist GMOs are “perfectly safe.” But you will learn the truths when you watch this free new 9-part documentary series called GMO’s Revealed.

 

GMO’s Revealed features leading doctors, agriculture experts, scientists, environmentalists, and political activists. They will help you understand how GMOs are making you sick, how they are destroying the soil we depend on for food, and how they are creating a health and environmental disaster that could have repercussions for generations to come. If you are interested, sign up now for free and hopefully they will send you the first 3 interviews of the series. It is free to watch and it starts next Tuesday, August 22nd.http://www.gmosrevealed.com/

I do not watch sports so I had no idea who John Cena was.  After watching this video, I will never forget him or his name.

Here is this month’s energy update from Lee Harris

I want to leave you with a smile of gratitude for all the support that you have offered me.  Aren’t big brothers and big sisters wonderful?  They have been here before us so they can help us understand what we fear. SMILE

THE BEAUTY OF OUR EARTH

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.

My wish is that Congress would behave in this manner. An eye opening into the reality of being human by Gary Zukav.

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.
