Today May There Be Peace Within

2011-12-01T20:43:00.000-08:00

May today there be peace within. May you trust that you are exactly where you are meant to be. May you not forget the infinite possibilities that are born of faith in yourself and others. May you use the gifts that you have received, and pass on the love that has been given to you. May you be content with yourself just the way you are. Let this knowledge settle into your bones, and allow your soul... the freedom to sing, dance, praise and love. It is there for each and every one of us.
~Mother Teresa

Where is love?

2011-11-17T19:53:00.000-08:00

“Your task is not to seek for love,
but merely to seek and find
all the barriers within yourself
that you have built against it.”
― Rumi

The Odd Thing About Life

2011-06-29T18:33:00.000-07:00

The odd thing about the often long and lonely path of life, Jill, is that when you get to the end of it and look back, you'll find that it was neither of these.

Reality TV - appreciating others?

2011-02-17T08:45:00.000-08:00

Recently I saw an ad for a new reality show called Car Warriors, and something hit me. Reality TV can be somewhat exploitative, but perhaps there’s also a positive societal shift and lessons involved too. When you think about some of them such as Car Warriors, Auction Hunters, Pawn Stars, Gold Rush, etc, I also see people being featured doing what they do best, and others of us can appreciate their skill and knowledge. Perhaps this is an example of us as a society valuing the talent of others. Something our television is giving us the opportunity to do.

What's Your Inner Truth?

Diversity

2011-01-24T21:04:00.001-08:00

I believe that diversity is a part of the natural order of things – as natural as the trillion shapes and shades of the flowers of spring or the leaves of autumn.

I believe that diversity brings new solutions to an ever-changing environment, and that sameness is not only uninteresting but limiting.

To deny diversity is to deny life – with all its richness and and manifold opportunities. Thus I affirm my citizenship in a world of diversity, and with it the responsibility to…

Be tolerant.

Live and let live.

Understand that those who cause no harm should not be feared, ridiculed, or harmed – even if they are different.
Look for the best in others.
Be just in my dealings with poor and rich, weak and strong, and whenever possible to defend the young, the old, the frail, the defenseless.
Be kind, remembering how fragile the human spirit is.
Live the examined life, subjecting my motives and actions to the scrutiny of mind and heart so to rise above prejudice and hatred.

Care.

-Gene Griessman

Goals?

2011-01-03T17:04:00.001-08:00

Remember to balance action with relaxation. Above all else, don't put yourself down, you are perfect and lovable just as you are. Celebrate anything that is an accomplishment for you. Visualize your goals, become silent, ask. Will power serves to push through things.... but letting things unfold naturally according to your greater vision and desires, is much more powerful - and easier!!

What is Gratitude?

2010-12-06T20:15:00.000-08:00

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
It turns what we have into enough, and
more.
It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a
stranger into a friend.
Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace
...for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow." ..
~ Melody Beattie via Greg

The Creativity of Words

2010-10-14T19:13:00.000-07:00

Words are small shapes in the gorgeous chaos of the world. But they are shapes, they bring the world into focus, they corral ideas, they hone thoughts, they paint watercolor perceptions. ~Diane Ackerman (thank you to Nancy for posting this one)

The Spiritual Purpose Behind Democracy?

2010-06-09T20:17:00.000-07:00

Founding a country on democratic principles wasn't just a political advancement, but a spiritual one as well. The idea of equality of power based on the average individual's conscience and intelligence -- that was radical when it happened and it's radical now. Something to ponder, and to protect. ~Marianne Williamson

Water Quality

2010-05-02T19:54:00.000-07:00

Water has a very important message for us. Water is telling us to take a much deeper look at ourselves. When we do look at ourselves through the mirror of water, the message becomes amazingly, crystal clear. We know that human life is directly connected to the quality of our water, both within and around us. ~ Masaru Emoto

Abundance

2010-03-07T18:05:00.000-08:00

Have you heard the story of the Buddhist scholar who went to visit an old monk to discuss Buddhism? The monk invited the scholar in and they sat down while the monk prepared tea.

The scholar immediately began to expound upon all he had learned about Buddhism at the university. On and on he went while the old monk quietly listened and prepared the tea. When the tea was ready, the scholar continued to speak even as the old monk poured the tea stopping only when he suddenly realized that tea was pouring down onto his leg since the old monk was continuing to pour tea into his already full cup.

The scholar stopped talking, jumped up and shouted, "You old fool. What are you thinking?" The old monk calmly replied, "A cup that is already full has no room to receive." The message of this story is about the importance of having an open mind and a willingness to listen and receive new information. This is good advice.

However, there is another cup metaphor, from the Old Testament, that seems to contradict the message in this story. I'm sure you've heard the phrase "My cup runneth over." In this usage, an overflowing cup is an expression of abundance. So how do we reconcile these two seemingly contradictory metaphors? Well I believe we all have two "cups." One of these cups we want to keep as full as we possibly can, full to overflowing whenever possible. The other cup we want to keep as empty and open as we possibly can. What are these cups? Would you like to take a guess?

Truly Abundant Mystics have an empty mind that is open to new ideas and possibilities. And, at the same time, they have a full heart that is overflowing with light, love and joy. I believe that is one of the secrets to TRUE Abundance. The more you can release your thoughts and ideas about abundance and fill yourself with feelings and faith about abundance, the more you will attract abundance into your life. The more you can stop spewing your thoughts out into the world and start flowing your love out into the world, the more abundance will flow back to you.

Give your heart, but not into anyone's keeping

2009-10-09T07:06:00.000-07:00

"but let there be spaces in your togetherness,
and let the winds of the heavens dance between you

Love one another, but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.
Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf

Sing and dance together and be joyous,
But let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of a lute are alone
Though they quiver with the same music.

Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and cypress grow not in each other’s shadow."

~Kahlil Gibran

(thank you to Greg for this one)

Delicate vs. Strong

2009-09-07T10:40:00.001-07:00

A tree that is indoors, always catered, taken care of, etc... is delicate. Fragile. Its wood is tender and weak. Now a tree that stands in storms, outside, through harsh weather, now that tree is strong. Firm. It's wood is very hard and durable.

She let go.

2009-07-29T21:02:00.000-07:00

Without a thought or a word, she let go.
She let go of the fear.
She let go of the judgments.
She let go of the confluence of opinions swarming around her head.
She let go of the committee of indecision within her.
She let go of all the 'right' reasons.
Wholly and completely, without hesitation or worry, she just let go.

She didn't ask anyone for advice.
She didn't read a book on how to let go.
She didn't search the scriptures.
She just let go.

She let go of all of the memories that held her back.
She let go of all of the anxiety that kept her from moving forward.
She let go of the planning and all of the calculations about how to do it just right.
She didn't promise to let go.
She didn't journal about it.
She didn't write the projected date in her Day-Timer.
She made no public announcement and put no ad in the paper.
She didn't check the weather report or read her daily horoscope.
She just let go.

She didn't analyze whether she should let go.
She didn't call her friends to discuss the matter.
She didn't do a five-step Spiritual Mind Treatment.
She didn't call the prayer line.
She didn't utter one word.
She just let go.

No one was around when it happened.
There was no applause or congratulations.
No one thanked her or praised her.
No one noticed a thing.
Like a leaf falling from a tree, she just let go.
There was no effort.
There was no struggle.
It wasn't good and it wasn't bad.
It was what it was, and it is just that.
In the space of letting go, she let it all be.
A small smile came over her face.
A light breeze blew through her.
And the sun and the moon shone on her.

The Happiness Quotient By Rabbi Yonason Goldson

2009-06-07T20:03:00.001-07:00

This is from the article entitled The Happiness Quotient. Something to keep in mind as we are challenged to question our limitations and focus on the essential. -Nancy (thanks Nancy!)

DEBUNKING THE MYTH OF SATISFACTION The sages of the Talmud address the question of happiness with pithy insightfulness: Who is wealthy? The one who is happy with his portion. In contrast to the researchers who concluded that wealth produces happiness, the sages observe that happiness is the source of true wealth. One need not look far to discover that many wealthy people endure miserable lives, where many who barely scrape by enjoy lives of joy and fulfillment.
Furthermore, the sages consider a person wealthy because he is happy with his portion — not because he is satisfied. Satisfaction results from the attainment of a goal and is usually fleeting; often, we experience sharp pangs of melancholy after the initial rush that accompanies success. Conversely, happiness results from striving toward a goal that is both attainable and worthwhile. It is this struggle that makes us truly happy, and a life spent striving for goals of intrinsic value is a life of immeasurable happiness.
Indulging every whim and impulse may prove pleasurable, but such pleasure-seeking will merely distract one from the lack of purpose that would otherwise make life intolerable. One who anesthetizes himself with chemical substances and sensory stimulation may deaden his receptors to the paralyzing pain of futility, but he knows nothing of real happiness.

Standard of Success

2009-05-26T06:49:00.000-07:00

There is no desire that anyone holds for any other reason than that they believe they will feel better in the achievement of it. Whether it is a material object, a condition, or a circumstance - at the heart of every desire is the desire to feel good. And so, the standard of success in lie is not the things or the money - the standard of success is absolutely the amount of joy you feel.

Please Yourself

2009-05-10T11:14:00.000-07:00

Often you are pulled this way and that in an attempt to please another, only to discover that no matter how hard you try, you cannot consistently move in any pleasing direction; and so, you not only do not please them, but you also do not please yourself. And because you are being pulled in so many different directions, your path to where you want to be usually gets lost in the process. - Abraham-Hicks

Guy Finley - Fearless Living

2009-04-13T21:39:00.000-07:00

When we feel fear, it is our mind instantly projecting an event's meaning onto our past or future to produce fear. This fear produces the feeling, and then offers and projects the image of the way out of the situation. This is not a friend talking! What the mind is feeling is not the event, but what we brought with us into this moment, that now needs to be seen as a limitation. Fear is negative imagination. The power over it belongs to ME, not the event! This darkness that is talking to us is not able to show us the light. It searches only for new powers, skills, protections, and ways around the event.
THE FEEL IS REAL, THE WHY IS A LIE.
Stop, Drop, & Endure.
Stop: The moment you feel fear, come to a complete stop.
Drop: Do not identify, drop associated thoughts and feelings.
Endure: This moment, and the external event, is part of the whole that is you.

Healing With the Masters

2009-03-11T20:55:00.001-07:00

So wonderful, free guidance / spiritual-emotional training, just listened to Sonia Choquette, The Four Chambers Of The Heart, the trainings are only available for 48 hours at this link,

http://www.healingwiththemasters.com/audio.htm

To increase your secure feelings about money, try these methods:

2009-02-27T16:55:00.001-08:00

1. Write your worries or concerns and put them in a special box (I call it a God Box) as a physical demonstration of "letting go and letting God" help you with the issues.
2. Write a letter to God, spelling out all of your feelings and what you need help with. Put this letter face-up on your altar or the location where you most-often pray. I’ve had miraculous results over the years with this method.
3. Write any fears on a piece of paper and then put that paper in the freezer compartment of your refrigerator. When you "freeze the fears," the problem is rapidly resolved.
4. Keep asking yourself: "What is the blessing within this situation?" There’s always a silver lining to every seeming problem.
5. Use my favorite Louise Hay affirmation: "Out of this situation, only good will come!" The more that you affirm this, the more peaceful you will feel. And a peaceful mind attracts and creates wonderful solutions.

Emotional Healing

2009-02-23T06:59:00.001-08:00

Emotional healing does not mean dwelling upon the wound;
it means looking at the world through unwounded eyes.

We have not come here to take prisoners.

2009-02-12T09:10:00.000-08:00

We have not come here to take prisoners,
But to surrender ever more deeply
To freedom and joy.
We have not come into this exquisite world
To hold ourselves hostage from love.
Run my dear,
From anything
That may not strengthen
Your precious budding wings.
Run like hell my dear,
From anyone likely
To put a sharp knife
Into the sacred, tender vision
Of your beautiful heart
We have a duty to befriend
Those aspects of obedience
That stand outside of our house
And shout to our reason
"O please, O please,
Come out and play."
For we have not come here to take prisoners
Or to confine our wondrous spirits,
But to experience ever and ever more deeply
Our divine courage, freedom, and Light!
--Hafiz

Two Wolves

2009-02-04T16:30:00.001-08:00

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people.

He said, "My son, the battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil. It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked hisgrandfather: "Which wolf wins?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

CURE (for mice) for Alzheimer’s disease

2009-01-28T08:30:00.000-08:00

From Dr. William’s latest "Alternatives" newsletter, he talks about the CURE (for mice) for Alzheimer’s disease discovered by Dr. Kim Green at the University of California. He has been shocked that it has not been more publicized. Perhaps you can pass this on to people you know who could benefit. Improvements can occur within 5 days to a year it seems. For full details please get a copy of his newsletter www.drdavidwilliams.com Here's the basics:

Recommended: 250 mg. of Vitamin B3 (nicacinamide/nicotinamide) every 1 ½ hours for 12 doses total per day. Freeda Vitamins has this dosage available- preservative-free. www.freedavitamins.com or 800-777-3737.

It supposedly helps with arthritis as well.
Dr. Williams says that a toxic dose in humans would be somewhere around 375,000 mg a day…so this treatment is not even close to being toxic.

Thanks to Jan Harkey for passing this on.

Letting it Go

2008-12-31T11:49:00.000-08:00

If you become ruffled with every comment that
you consider a 'slight,' you will never find peace.

Nor will you find it by always separating yourself from
those who ruffle you. You can only end so many
friendships before you find yourself very much alone.
You can keep making new friends, of course, but
sooner or later they will ruffle you -- and then what?

Perhaps the better course might be to let the ruffle
go. People rarely mean it when they do that, and a
touch of gentle tolerance and easy forgiveness every
day is even better than an apple...

Thoughts As Energy

2008-12-06T08:52:00.000-08:00

There is no "high work" or "low work". There are just opportunities to focus. You can feel as fulfilled and satisfied in any one task as in any other, for you are on the Leading Edge of thought, and Source is flowing through you no matter what your endeavor is. You can be joyful in any endeavor where you decide to allow the Energy to flow.
-Abraham-Hicks

by Neale Donald Walsh

2008-11-26T14:11:00.000-08:00

Every day is a new beginning, and nothing
from yesterday has to affect who you are today.

It does no good at all to bemoan what you may have
done on a day prior to today -- or even, for that matter,
a moment ago. You don't have to carry that into the
Present Moment, nor is your guilt about it going to do
you any good at good.

Simply resolve to become a different version of your
self right here, right now. Use yesterday to inspire
tomorrow, not to discourage it.

Bragging?

2008-11-24T10:30:00.000-08:00

I heard something very interesting recently: When men get together, they tend to brag. When women get together, they tend to discuss problems. Doesn't that mean that maybe men are focusing on the positive while women are focusing on the negative? Of course it is almost always an uplifting experience to get together in a gender group this way and just "be". But I do see that women tend to discuss "issues" and men tend to want to forget them and try to just have a good time. I realize these are sterotypes, but I thought this was a very interesting concept.

The Nigerian Paradox

2008-11-20T09:04:00.000-08:00

So what is the “Nigerian Paradox,” and why is it so important to your own success and happiness?
In a major study of 65 countries as reported on CNN, the BBC, and other major media throughout the world, the economically disadvantaged African country Nigeria ranked #1 for the happiest people in the world.
Mexico ranked #2, Venezuela #3, and El Salvador #4.
The U.S.? #16. Australia ranked #20, and Britain #24.
Furthermore, people in the Western world and Japan are no happier now than they were in the 1950s, despite a massive increase in income.So why in the world would such a poor country, where food is scarce for a large segment of the population and even radios are a luxury, have the happiest people in the world?
In three words: “positive intense experiences.”
A lot has already been researched and written about this Nigerian Paradox.
It turns out that Nigerians are deeply committed to simple, enjoyable, profound and deeply transformative actions in their life that melt away the negative states like stress, angst and worry and instead lead to a powerful sense of happiness.

A thought to give faith, and peace.

"Know that even in the midst of challenge and uncertainty, you are always safe. The spirit within you can never be diminished or hurt by the outer circumstances of your life but is ever expanding along its most evolutionary path."

A Native American Verse

I have to post this just because I found it so beautiful.

Do not stand at my grave and weep;
I am not there. I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow;
I am the diamond glint on snow.
I am the sunlight on ripened grain;
I am the gentle autumn's rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in the circled flight.
I am the soft star that shines at night.
Do not stand at my grave and cry.
I am not there; I did not die.

“What you see going on in the world around you is simply a balancing of forces. Greed is being exposed. Materialism is being subdued. People are spending more time with their families and less time focused on their possessions. People are learning to live within their means, to value their money, time and energy once again, and to live with more gratitude for what they do have.”
