"Travel in the direction that you intend to go." said dad

There is saying, taken from the I Ching that states,

" If the beginning is right, the ending is right."

In trusting this ancient wisdom let us vowing to listen to and follow our hearts and inner spirit, no matter what.

By making this courageous decision we assure ourselves the best possible chance of moving beyond the frustrating and
all too familiar struggle that comes with ignoring our inner voice, and
into a life filled with grace, blessings, and authentic meaning.

This is the kind of life we are designed by our Creator to experience, enjoy, and share with one another.

Let's do this for ourselves, each other, and the Holy Mother Earth.

To the bone, to the very core, that is it, this is it, the Truth.

May the brightest light shine in everyone and guide them to their biggest dreams!!!

May abundance in all of its forms come your way!

Blessings on this beautiful unfolding!

It’s time to release that which no longer serves or resonates with my deepest and most loving Spirit, even if I want to hold on.

 It is OK to be afraid, but not OK to allow fear to prevent me from trusting my inner voice or facing my weaknesses.

It is also Ok to ask for help, from above and from those who love us and can help.

So, help. I'm open to all in harmony with God's will and my highest good.

And thank you God and life for loving me.

May I be graced with the courage to receive?

People who love and support are real gifts. To be able to receive love from true friends and family when you really need it is heaven on earth.

It is the greatest treasure there is. I am so grateful.

Life is full of Wonderful moments to embrace and acknowledge Love is the greatest of all gifts, Love one Another with heartfelt positive selfless passion.

I am most grateful for the friends who are now my family....and sending out more love, may my reminders always come when you need those most!

I'm hearing from many old friends these days... some whom I haven't heard from since grammar school. It is amazing to recognize just what an impression we leave on people's hearts by our presence.

I intend this day to leave the most loving impression possible in all which I connect with; I find that people from my past always seem to reappear during Mercury retrograde.

I have many that I have cherished memories of and now I can pop in and say hi and see what's up in their life.  Thank you for your presence in my life.

Acknowledging our own power and impression takes courage.

All the judgements have created so much fear, and the world is running amuck with it.

It's time to set ourselves free, one uplifting thought at a time.

ps/smoh

Let go and let your Higher Power in.

It is a good day to cut cords and end attachments to those people and things that no longer resonate with you that you are becoming today. 

Just open your heart and let go. 

No judgements. No story. 

No explanation. 

Just release and be done. 

Then get ready for the new energy and the new people who match your energy today.

We say this so often to people who don't know how to just release and be done. 

So, what they are left with is repression. And then it just comes up again later, and possibly uglier. 

Release is a process of becoming one with the Self. Then one doesn't need to worry with what others are up to, or what they have done.

Now find the strength to let go, a hard step, but one with no regrets. I've done this. It really makes people mad and they think you're crazy. But that is there issue not mine. My goal is just to be happy.

When it's time to go, it's time to go. Somewhere we know this--but we allow our bargains with reality to keep us from the truth of acceptance. 

But here's the thing. Repression is not going to work any better than bargains. When it’s time to go, walk through the going as if it is a gift--because it is. 

But don't repress your feelings about it--they are also a gift.

Every time you let go of something or someone negative, it or they are replaced with a positive.

When we call our energy home into our hearts, honouring, nurturing and revitalizing the song that always resides within us, our song is energetically heard by all beings on the same frequency. 

Let us sing, and in our singing, encourage others to join the ballad of self love and devotion to grace.

ps/smoh

Taking a breathe...

I make a personal commitment to speak my truth, so it is out there.

Today, notice what you are afraid of...say it out loud. Each time you do, also notice where you are right now... and say that out loud as well.

Do this for several minutes. It releases fear and brings you to the present moment. Try it. It is an amazing way to be free of fear in a moment.

You cannot breathe deeply and worry at the same time. Breathe. Let the worry go. Breathe; allow the love and intuition in.

Each breath brings a sense of peace. 

I don't remember where but I read somewhat recently that when you take a breath it refocuses your mind and that worry isn't there after the breath.

When looking for guidance take a breath, place your hand over your heart, and say" my heart says..." then fill in the blank.

Guidance is there of you allow your heart to speak.

Sometimes we feel guidance that we do not want to acknowledge. It may be a gut feeling that something is off or not quite honest or true. 

Believe your intuition, especially at times when it is most difficult to do.

Be clear about what you are seeking guidance on. Learn all you can about your question, separating fact from fiction, and then turn it over to your Higher Self for guidance. Say "Higher self... move me in the direction of my highest well on this matter...”

Then be flexible enough to be moved.

Be flexible today, I find flexibility brings spontaneity. I love it; intuition gives you an opportunity to make a new and better choice than the one you may be in the habit of making.

Listen and follow a new way today.

The more you choose to do things that uplift yourself and others the more Your Spirit can shine, can heal you, and can lead your life.

ps/smoh

The right guidance for the right moment..

Your inner guidance is available but it cannot override the other conversations going on in your head.

Take time to relax and meditate every day, if only for a moment or two, and the wide world of inner guidance will open to you like a flower in spring.

Yes, it’s an amazing experience when you attuning to your Inner Guide! But still a lot of work to do on my ego!

I love that inner voice, the one that speaks my truth. 

This inner guidance, like talking to the wisest being.

Today has opened a tremendous door way to our higher selves. Love your spirit and allow it to shine freely upon your life.

I invite the essence of all that I am to come in and experience every part of today and

Tomorrows with me.

Intuition partners best with reason. Learn all the facts of a situation, denying nothing. Even the parts those are uncomfortable to look at or acknowledge.

Then turn the facts over to intuition. If you are honest about your life your intuition will work beautifully. Try it and you will see this is true.

The best intuition sees reality as the field of intuition. Not vice versa.

When we do the work of looking at a situation honestly and ask for guidance, be on the lookout for small synchronicities on the path to healing. 

Knowing May not come busting in.

When you put the two together you create a mindful response without reason intuition may be off centre until you have learned to truly understand it.

Together you create a powerful tool, use it regularly and enjoy the possibilities.

Weekends..

The weekend was filled with reunions!

The reunion of family from places close and far as we joined together, celebrating the visit and seeing loved ones where time had passed too quickly since the last hug.

The reunion of friends from my youth, where time has brought wisdom about the value of those friends and the roots we share.

And finally, the heavenly reunion of family angels as we parted with sweet sorrow from a loved one whose life was long, joyous and forever captured in our memories.

Wrapped in love, this weekend of reunions filled my heart, touched my spirit and celebrated all that I am grateful for

"Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love time is eternity." --Henry Van Dyke

ps/smoh

Love your life and live your spirit!!!

Let us join together and open our hearts and shine our spirits on all those who are in darkness and despair.

Let us join together in asking forgiveness Mother Earth for all the ways in which we have not been her good caretakers.

Let us pray to learn new things, be at peace with ourselves, respectful, loving ways to live in harmony with this beautiful earth, with each other, and with ourselves.

Let us pray for guidance.

My prayer for the day:
I choose to live in joy this day, sending love, compassion, and forgiveness to those who have fallen under the illusion that violence of any sort is ever justified.

I call their Spirit back to true self and Divine Source as a sister and friend, and continue to pray for those who suffer their illusions.

Beauty feeds the spirit.

Beauty in nature.

Beautiful architecture.

Beautiful music.

Beautiful art.

One of our greatest expressions as divine beings is to create beauty.

One of our greatest spiritual pleasures is to experience beauty.

There is so much I am aware I really love.

I love my family and my wonderful friends.

I love my work and the people I am so blessed to know through it.

I love the beauty and creativity of the people and this planet.

I love riding my bike, swimming, outdoor concerts, dancing anywhere anytime.

I love my tea, good food, and good UNDERWEAR!

I've experienced some very disappointing and hurtful energy today. It's time to ask myself "how might I have attracted this and what am I to learn." Not sure just yet.

I'm still stinging from the experience. I know it will become apparent in time if I open myself to the deepest truth of my Spirit.
This is what we are all being asked to do as co-creators at this time Sending love to you and me as we grow.

Thunderstorms overhead...thunderstorms inside...clearing...cleansing...electrifying...exciting...new things are gathering in the air ...stale energy moving out.

One of the most liberating spiritual practices of all is telling the truth, to yourself and those you love, clearing the air, and walking your talk.

I believe in my values and my rules, but never lord them over others.

It is not enough to speak your truth if the choices you make and the behaviours you display do not honestly reflect that truth.

As for me, I'm truthfully pooped after an intense and exciting week of work out to get my fitness level up. . Truthfully I am clearing some past wounds and moving on to new things. AAAHHHH!

Feels encouraging.

I am so very grateful for the gift of my life this day.

I am grateful for my challenges as well as that which comes to soothe.

I am grateful for all messages sent my way, even if painful of hard to take in.

I am a grateful and humble student this day, learning ever more to surrender my attachments, and allow the divine plan to override my own plans.

ps/smoh

Let us just be..

It's a good day not to judge anything, not myself, not others, not the world and it will, without a doubt be one of our happiest days ever!

Blessed be, May our spirits is free to fly high with joy and cheekiness in our shining hearts as we practicing the art of allowing and appreciation of all along the blessed magical way...

You are a beautiful and divine spirit.

You cannot improve upon your spirit as spark of love within.

You can only improve upon your awareness of your spirit. I love your spirit. I love mine.

Always look Soul to Soul and not role to role.

I have learned through experience, which increasing my awareness, is the single most important use of my time.

As you move through the day remember to check in with your vibes and follow your heart.

Give yourself permission to immediately walk away from anything that gives you bad vibes. 

There is no need to explain or make sense of it, just trust what you feel.

Life is about no effort. 


Not that we don’t have to do the work, however when its right the Universe will open the path of happiness for you.


ps/smoh

You and your truth...

I believe in my values and my rules, but never lord them over others.  

Nothing should stand between you and God, not imams, or priests, or rabbis, or any other custodians of moral or religious leadership not even spiritual masters. 

Stay away from all sorts of idolatry, for they will blur your vision. 

Let God and only God be your guide. Learn the Truth, my friend, but be careful not to make a fetish out of your truths.

Nothing stands between us and God and nothing stands between God and us. 

Often the problem in aspiring to spiritual progress is the flawed intermediary. 

Stand alone amongst others...stay true to yourself...recognise when others are trying to steal your soul and gently move away.

And how often do we see doctrine get in the way of the relationship with the God within.

I have watched with sadness as we beat each other up - for believing, for not believing, for not believing enough or for believing in the wrong God - as we stand on our high horses and preach equality, human rights and love!

Life is a learning process, be aware of our own prejudices and disrespectful behaviour towards others!

The power of ONE...

It's important to tune into your true "yes" and your true "no" and not get caught up in pleasing others over listening to your Spirit. As six sensory we can lose touch with or ignore our own needs all too easily.

Be aware of crazy makers.....people whose energy causes drama and upset wherever they go... it is OK to step away from such energetic disturbances. Take care to love your Spirit by placing yourself in positive energy.

As six sensory, we need time spent doing nothing but relaxing. Stepping away from the routines of the thinking mind opens us to subtle realms, the day dreaming mind, and this is where we make contact with our higher self, our spirit guides, and divine helpers. 

We need a vacation from the left brain to visit the right brain, and it should be taken often.

Do a vibe check on the atmosphere in your home and your workplace today. If the energy is dark, stale, heavy, stressful turn on the music, open the window for a moment, let some fresh air in, ring some bells, and clap your hands, sing Fa la la la la and dance for a minute or two. 

Yes it might seem crazy to some but it will raise the vibration and everyone will feel better. Blame the craziness on Jack Frost.

I'm had the most wonderful visit with my friend Petra. She is incredible. Filled with love humour and gratitude for every single sip of life. I'm so blessed to have all these friends in my life.

Being alive is a joy; breathe in all you are grateful for. Today I am grateful to be preparing for the guides workshop this weekend at Adam’s school. I love teaching this workshop and I feel so grateful for my spirit guides help in every way.

Who or what bothers you the most today is your teacher.....what bothers me most today is that I do not have more time...I am learning to live more and more in timelessness.....Ahhh! Ha!

I am so humbled and amazed at the collective genius, creativity, dedication, determination and pure love of humanity. The human spirit is Divine.

Don't forget to laugh today! Laughter connects you to the delights of the world and opens your heart chakra. So, share a laugh with a friend or have a daily ritual. I like to make faces while I brush my teeth.

Have you ever stopped and realized that you're not breathing? 

Take a moment to be quiet today whether it is: meditation, reflection, prayer, quiet thought. 

Allowing yourself a moment of solitude and peace will feed your spirit and allow emerging on higher vibrations. 

In our busy world, we usually stop to take a second to breathe but it helps our spirit phenomenally!

If you feel restless or fearful speak your fears and anxieties out loud. The more you put them in the light, the quicker they begin to evaporate.

I have been reminded, once again, after last night's performances that there is some real talent in people I thought I knew well, but didn't really.

"Never assume you know anyone well." Wow! That is so true. We all have so many more talents than are revealed in a day. 

Reveal one of your hidden talents today and surprise the people who think they know you. It’s wonderful for everyone.

The best you can do for the miserable of this world is don't be one of them. 

How can you be happy today? 

Me? 

I'm going to ride my bike which I love, after that will have coffee with the gang. 

That will do it for me.

Camouflaged Bliss

What if I tell you there are priceless things you can't afford to buy?

Yes, even a homeless could have.

The next opportunity you get to leave home, I request you to do yourself a favour that you undoubtedly deserve.

I want you to focus DEEPLY on something you usually take for granted.

It could be trees, flowers, the eyes of a cat you pass by, or simply the angel of breeze abundantly surrounding you.

As you concentrate more and more deep, you will begin to tantalize the music embedded within unexpected sources beating in unison to your pacemaker.

*At this point I literally stood up and walked outside my front gate*

I intend on sharing with you what I absorb during this mini trip.

In order to prevent my visual ideas over-ride my other perceptions, I switched off the garden lights and stood in complete darkness it was 11 p.m last night, only illuminated by moonlight.

Ahhh! How breathtaking! The handsome moon poured its silky beams onto the majestic coconut palms while the smooth blades of grass frolicked in delight against my feet.

I closed my eyes and felt the breeze tingle my face, only to be distracted by hyperactive mosquitoes singing against my ears and restless lizards creaking at a distance in phase with the leaves of all the trees in sight.

As I opened my eyes I spot stress-free fireflies flying with overflowing liberty, with joy peace many of us could only wish for.

The stars dazzled with pride as patriotic citizens of the Milky Way...

As you see,

the moon, 

stars, 

breeze, 

music of insects and 

all these priceless sources of tranquillity are affordable even to the starving and homeless.

As you choose to sip from these fountains of bliss, you will gradually quench the insatiable thirst for peace of mind until materialism with all its pressure would have no space on your list of requirements for true happiness.

Grandma knows a lot, but Mummy knows EVERYTHING!!!

If everyone takes care of him/herself only then we can evolve into independent humans, so look deeper and deeper... to find the apotheosis in existence.

There is nothing wrong if your world revolves around yourself.

Why, isn't that our right considering each of us represent our personal journey here?

It then becomes a matter of insisting on the best QUALITY of every aspect in Life.

From nutrition to clothing to our right to relaxation too.

Living life on our own terms and conditions is a bit tough but it represents exactly what we are on other side if we don’t then we can’t recognize our self.

It's all about following our passion. Mother Theresa was passionate towards what she did. That was her chosen universe.

Likewise, everyone is free to choose their calling.

Hopefully it won’t involve hurting others.

Aid workers and volunteers too had to abandon pleasing some section of society who had other expectations of them in order to pursue their passion of BEING aid workers.

You get my point?

So, when I say nothing wrong if  YOUR Universe REVOLVES around YOU, I meant YOUR passion. Allowing the Universe to ALIGN as YOU choose.

“Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it. Because what the world needs are people who have come alive." ~ Howard Thurman

Be selfish.

Do what works for you and don't let others dictate your life.

This doesn't mean to neglect friendships or relationships as they are proponents of a healthy, rewarding life, but it does mean you should look out for yourself, be self sufficient and true to yourself.

If you're unhappy that unhappiness will spread to other areas of life, and will affect other people.

Do what makes YOU HAPPY, your happiness will spread.

Yes, we can use our energy to TRY to please everyone and make ourselves miserable or we can remain authentic to our selves.

We contribute either way. Our contribution is grander when we do things out of love and because we care, not because we feel we have to.

When our world revolves around ourselves...... actually we are the champions and advocates of freedom.

I keep waking up with 80s music running through my head; What's up with that???????????

"If you should find you miss the sweet and tender love we used to share.
Just go back to the places where we used to go, and I'll be there
Well, how can I forget you, girl?
When there is always something there to remind me.
always something there to remind me.
I was born to love her, and I'll never be free
You'll always be a part of me.
'cause there is always something there to remind me.
always something there to remind me.
always something there to remind me."

Music and sports are old industries based upon entertainment!

Making something entertaining means it has to catch your senses, strongest senses!

And do you think they ever think and follow what God says?

Few of them!

But the majority is making Music to catch your most inner senses, without you even know you are being manipulated in your unconscious mind with the music you are listening to!

You learn to appreciate the stuff they are talking about in the songs and even repeat it in your daily life; this is good for the entertainers!

Today’s richest people!

This Cranky old man....

When an old man died in the geriatric ward of a nursing home in an Australian country town, it was believed that he had nothing left of any value.
Later, when the nurses were going through his meagre possessions, They found this poem. Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.

One nurse took her copy to Melbourne. The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas editions of magazines around the country and appearing in mags for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.

And this old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.

Cranky Old Man

What do you see nurses? . . .. . .What do you see?
What are you thinking .. . when you're looking at me?
A cranky old man, . . . . . .not very wise,
Uncertain of habit .. . . . . . . .. with faraway eyes?
Who dribbles his food .. . ... . . and makes no reply.
When you say in a loud voice . .'I do wish you'd try!'
Who seems not to notice . . .the things that you do.
And forever is losing . . . . . .. . . A sock or shoe?
Who, resisting or not . . . ... lets you do as you will,
With bathing and feeding . . . .The long day to fill?
Is that what you're thinking?. .Is that what you see?
Then open your eyes, nurse .you're not looking at me.
I'll tell you who I am . . . . .. As I sit here so still,
As I do at your bidding, .. . . . as I eat at your will.
I'm a small child of Ten . .with a father and mother,
Brothers and sisters .. . . .. . who love one another
A young boy of Sixteen . . . .. with wings on his feet
Dreaming that soon now . . .. . . a lover he'll meet.
A groom soon at Twenty . . . ..my heart gives a leap.
Remembering, the vows .. .. .that I promised to keep.
At Twenty-Five, now . . . . .I have young of my own.
Who need me to guide . . . And a secure happy home.
A man of Thirty . .. . . . . My young now grown fast,
Bound to each other . . .. With ties that should last.
At Forty, my young sons .. .have grown and are gone,
But my woman is beside me . . to see I don't mourn.
At Fifty, once more, .. ...Babies play 'round my knee,
Again, we know children . . . . My loved one and me.
Dark days are upon me . . . . My wife is now dead.
I look at the future ... . . . . I shudder with dread.
For my young are all rearing .. . . young of their own.
And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known.
I'm now an old man . . . . . . .. and nature is cruel.
It's jest to make old age . . . . . . . look like a fool.
The body, it crumbles .. .. . grace and vigour, depart.
There is now a stone . . . where I once had a heart.
But inside this old carcass . A young man still dwells,
And now and again . . . . . my battered heart swells
I remember the joys . . . . .. . I remember the pain.
And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . life over again.
I think of the years, all too few . . .. gone too fast.
And accept the stark fact . . . that nothing can last.
So open your eyes, people .. . . . .. . . open and see.
Not a cranky old man .
Look closer . . . . see .. .. . .. .... . ME!!

Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within. We will all, one day, be there, too!

PLEASE SHARE THIS POEM (originally by Phyllis McCormack; adapted by Dave Griffith)

The best and most beautiful things of this world can't be seen or touched. They must be felt by the heart!

The wheel line..

Somewhere, over the rainbow...

Come out of the circle of time, and into the circle of love with the, THE CIRCLE OF HANDS to remain in the circle of love today and always.

Love really transcends time as long as I’m concerned; we’ve got love TRIANGLE these days instead of a circle of love!

The circle of illusion..... Up is down and sideways is straight ahead. Time is an illusion anyway!

Love defeats time that’s the secret ;) its more powerful than time. Time if left unguided is what kills love and life and freedom.

“Ocean absorbing a drop is no wonder,

But drop absorbing ocean is a wonder,” – Kabir

Meditation is silent musical alignment with the creator, while prayers are verbal alignment with the Law of Attraction.

The path to ultimate truth is a process in which a person undergoes constant transformation. 

Those who journey in company with others, which are most, also undergo transformation as a group whose members are continually growing spiritually.

Hence, the pursuit of truth through the practice of perennial wisdom is an ever dynamic unfolding; in which appreciation of this wisdom is constantly deepening as one's ability to experience it increases.

Get out of the circle of time and enters the circle of love!!!

EQUAL RIGHTS FOR PEOPLE!!!!!! ALL PEOPLE!!!!!

A gentle reminder of an enforced, but concise ban policy.

WHY WE WILL BAN YOU:

- RACISM

- SEXISM

- COMMENTS OFFENSIVE TO THOSE WHO ARE LGBT

- ABLEISM

- TROLLING

- USING PERSONAL INSULTS

- JUSTIFYING THE EXISTENCE OF FASCIST ORGANISATIONS

Because happy women will lead to happier men.

We don't want to be gender divided and we do want to be humanist in our approach to all the world's problems but it is a fact that sexism is an issue and the 'feminist' movement (which contains men too) has more vital work to do and we will do it.

Happier men will also lead to happier women.

Malcolm X said something very similar - to educate a man is to educate an individual but to educate a woman is to educate and liberate a nation.

YES - it DOES start from within. It starts with awareness of the current situation, which is to say women are NOT equal and feminism has not achieved equality for many women.

But it can.

People often state on threads that feminism is divisive but it IS NOT. It is about women organising themselves and supporting each other.

Many men are feminists too and many men and women work together on feminist activism.

Some feminist groups do not want men with them and this is usually because their work involves working alongside women who have experienced abuse most commonly from a male partner.

Feminism is about liberating the woman first and indirectly but most definitely the community at large.

We're all equal, and we're all connected. A balanced society is better for everyone.

The point is that you have to liberate those who are currently being disadvantaged by society, and everyone will benefit because of it.

When a woman is liberated for example, with education, she will have the opportunity to educate and socialize males such as her own children in a less gender restricted world.

Both men and women can adopt a more androgynous way of living, hence a more liberated life. Androgyny means that a person does not limit her/his life due to gender constrains.

An example to us all !!!!!!

"There are an awful lot of scientists today

who believe that before very long

we shall have unravelled all the secrets of the universe.

There will be no puzzles anymore.

To me it'd be really, really tragic

because I think one of the most exciting things

is this feeling of mystery, feeling of awe,

the feeling of looking at a little live thing

and being amazed by it

and how its emerged through these hundreds of years

of evolution and there it is and it is perfect and why."

-         -  Jane Goodall

What an amazing pioneer & example to us all. Jane is not only a woman's companion model but humanity’s entire teacher.

This lady has always been one of my heroes, ever since I was a little girl. Goddess blesses you, Miss Jane.

We are our biggest enemy..

Do what you want!

Wear what you want!

Go where you want to go!

Date and marry whoever you Love!

As long as your intentions are peaceful and loving.

There is really nothing to worry!

As for those using God and FEAR to control others tell those God loves you too and wants you to have FUN, for life is too short to worry about others judgements.

We are human with brains and we know what’s right and what’s wrong with our own limits. And if we work within our limits, and add to that our conscience, humbleness, and there’s love in our hearts we shall be fine and shall have a righteous life.

When our ACTIONS and STEPS are guided by LOVE, then we will always choose the right path ... Many people are fearful of happiness.


For such persons, to be content in life means they must change a number of their habits.
We do not accept them, because to do so causes us to feel that we are in God's debt and because of that fear of shrinking, we fail to grow.

You are innocent.

You are blameless

You are without foible or fault of any kind.

I know you do not believe this about yourself, but do you believe this of the three-year-old beautiful child?

And what makes you think that you are anything less in the eyes of God?

Did you know that that the highest form of ignorance is to reject something you know nothing about?

The responsibility of Freedom includes allowing others to be free to make their own choices even when we disagree with seemingly valid reasons.

Disagreeing without judgement is to act responsibly with freedom, even if it means sometime being assertive, and with seemingly valid reasons.

I believe the greatest favour one human can do to another is respect his or her idea of freedom.

Let there be peace and let that peace begin within. That I may set forth on a journey to find harmony.

Be slow to speak and quick to listen.

Read between the words and tone of voice.

The next time you are with someone, try to gauge what they are feeling.

Don’t just listen to their words, look deep inside to see if you can get a handle on what they are feeling.

Read between the lines. Look past the words; listen with a clear mind and an open heart.

It really is an art form that has been lost often in everyday life.

If we impose preconceived thoughts of the other it may not be so effective.

Practice active listening, it can work miracles.

Reach beyond the five senses and feel grasp the person's vibration frequency.

This is so important...the listener hears so much more by engaging completely in the words, expressions, tone and demeanour of the person talking.

So much more understanding and depth enters into the conversation when this practice is followed.

One thing that gives me a deep sense of gratitude in my own life is the feeling of being heard and truly listened to.

Do this and it will becomes a habit, non verbals are the dominant in communication.

Let's continue to hold each other.

I was actually ridiculed by a college professor for this. She made fun of me for looking at and nodding my head when I identified with a speaker in our class. 

She penalized the speaker for looking at me the whole time. 

Active listening for me is allowing someone a spiritual space in which to communicate, whether I'm one on one with some and this does require keeping your own egoistic dialogue at bay for a while, but that awareness is what we must be out to achieve.

Don't only be good, be good for something. A passion to persist...

"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race." –Calvin Coolidge

He sure showed that with his persistence and determination with Prohibition.

He does have a point for sure. Put one foot in front of the other comes to mind.

There is some truth in President's Calvin words, especially when he says:

 "Nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent”;

I think he is absolutely wrong when he says:

"Genius will not, Talent will not"

And I really do not agree with the words " ‘press on’ has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.”

I rather believe that it is the combination of talent and persistence which brings success. And this combination is a personal mixture which varies from person to person.

There is no pattern. I rather think that we have to include values like intuition and ability to improvise to gain a strong personality ... besides persistence and determination.

Practice, makes perfect - the only difference between a winner, and, a loser, is, the winner got up one more time - Babe Ruth held two world records - the most home runs, and, the most strike outs.

But, I believe in this quote he implied talent, genius and other hibernating blessings are futile until persistently manifested into action with determination. 

Everyone has talent, at least one. But what makes the divine blueprint within us tarnish and fade over time is the fact we don't acknowledge the possibility of transforming them into tangible forms via our potential ability to contribute to Humanity. 

As for 'press on', consider this on an individual scale. How many times have talented geniuses given up to when they almost reached the pinnacle.  Only almost...

We have no idea what we give up when we "give up". 

Passion and persistence will help you reach the goal. Of the two passions might be easier to come by.

Passion burns hot and quick but persistence is the hand that nurtures and revives the flame of passion when it flickers or grows dim especially when it is doused by your own limitations or those imposed by others or by the simple and inevitable passage of time!

Let’s send out our intentions and become the witnesses of the happening of the wonders of life. 

Let’s feel the faith that every intention is like a stone we throw into an endless sea of stillness and every single one of this stones creates waves that are expanding through the whole infinite sea of divine consciousness.

Through the great intelligence of life itself this waves becomes the manifestation of our desires in the most direct and harmonic way that is possible and that creates good for all what is.

"Trust the process"

All is in a constant state of change but the essence, love, remains the same.

Although it means the same thing, it sounds much better than 'whatever'.

I am seeing it and in others too

It all comes to changing prospective that is all anyway you look at any situation.

I understand that sometimes like a building structure we require to become ruins in order to rebuild

I have faith, I TRUST in the Divine Order of things and that gives me peace.

Everything is falling together perfectly, even though it looks as if some things are falling apart.

Trust in the process you are now experiencing.

Life is on your side. It is showing that to you now, though you may not be able to see it clearly at this time.

In esoteric teachings, we realize that we cannot control all events.

Be like water, sometimes to relinquish control is to be empowered.

The forces play, just remember you are indestructible and a forever learning consciousness.

I am having an epiphany, hoo ho. I do not learn from people, I learn through people. They charge me with an idea and thoughts; I process and derive my truth.

We are all masters. The only law I abide by is the law of consecutiveness, the love frequency.

The master is the untapped power. 'What I can do, you can also do and more.'

Feel it, do not think it, the thought comes from the feeling/sensors, interpret the experience to self empower.

When your ego is in silence for a moment,

You can actually hear one’s words..

Observation, awareness, conciseness....how ever you put it

When you observe anything/one of a lower energy level/ refinement than yourself, are THANKFUL for ALL your blessings, breathe and SMILE.

It’s not a matter of geography or social status at birth than determines the QUALITY of thy personalities, rather a collection of CONSCIOUS choices every step of our individual journey.

The statement kind of assumes a position of judgement, humm many are exactly where they are supposed to be regardless of station, intellect, etc.

An interesting example would be to decide that the level of consciousness of the planet is inadequate because it does not speak directly to us in English or the language of our preference?

And being appreciative that we are better than the "stupid" Earth. LOL!!!

The quality of superficial personality is directly related to quality of life and interpretation of sense of value of self...

There are more reasons to be thankful than to compare oneself to another...i.e. thank God I have all of my fingers and toes, or Thank Goodness I was not born poor, etc.

We forget that everyone plays their roles for a reason, in the larger human drama.

It should really be a self statement of Thank God, I am so happy I have another opportunity to be my unique authentic genuine representation of your love on this planet.

Well, I speak on what I perceive on a day-to-day basis more than really what I pond over an extended period of time.

Being who I am- a minority in nearly every sense, it’s only natural to discuss this topic.

I find it more ALIVE to speak of NOW. :) As I unfold my petals of growth, I share with all of YOU my journey.

Therefore when I know better I do better,
I do not want an excuse not to do my best,
I am thankful for my faith in good,
I am created in the image of what I hold dear.

Aristotle was right...

Aristotle was a man that warned 2500 years ago about the dangers of:
- Interest
- Derivatives
- Central banking
- Usury in general
- The intertwining of corporation and state

Seems nothing is new in human society, a proces rarely changes, only the names do. Read about it:

'Rumi'

I tried to find Him on the Christian cross, but He was not there; 

I went to the temple of the Hindus and to the old pagodas, 

but I could not find a trace of Him anywhere… 

I searced on the mountains and in the valleys 

but neither in the heights nor in the depthswas I able to find Him.
 
I went to the Ka’bah in Mecca, but He was not there either…

I questioned the scholars and philosophers but He was beyond their understanding…

Then I looked into my heart and it was there 

where He dwelled that I saw Him, 

He was nowhere else to be found.

I never ask for your opinion..

The responsibility of Freedom includes allowing others to be free to make their own choices even when we disagree with seemingly valid reasons.

Disagreeing without judgement is to act responsibly with freedom. Even if it means sometime being assertive, and with seemingly valid reasons.

I believe the greatest favour one human can do to another is respect his or her idea of freedom.

As in someone who thinks they can enforce a karma situation on someone who they don't even know personally right?

I mean when we share our experiences, our duty stops at sharing alone. We can't enforce anything beyond expressing.

That's true, but then you have someone who will try and manipulate a situation of someone who is not hip to what's going on, then what's been shared off rumours... some pretty clever ones.

We're only in control of our actions via our intentions. Everyone has the freedom to exercise this right and they shall reap the seeds they sow based on their intentions too.

I think that's an important one. I can only present my view and no matter how valid I find e.g vegetarianism or religion or else I have to allow the freedom of choice to others!

There is no such thing as total freedom unless one is isolated to one's self - we must respect boundaries.

Inter-dependence > independence > dependence.

People do not like freedom - so they hire bureaucrats to protect them from it.

Let there be peace and let that peace begin with me. That I may set forth on a journey to find harmony.

It’s important to know that any emotional damage we face in life is something that can be fixed and mended.

It's a choice to want to heal those hurts that have made us broken at one point in time.

As we restore ourselves...we emerge with a stronger and more beautiful spirit, ready to take on life once again.

Take a few moments and slow it down. Most things in life do not need a swift automatic response.

Think, "What is it that I am trying to accomplish here?" 

Before you assume, learn the FACTS!

Before you judge, understand WHY?

Before you hurt someone, FEEL,

Before you speak THINK!

The seemingly on-going "foibles" of the Human Experience...ALL of the "Above"..!!

How simple life would be!

Our whole life is a prayer. Those who understand this, take responsibility for their thoughts, words, and deeds, because they know the power and responsibility we all have in creating reality. Everything we do affects everything else. 

To the people who love you, you are beautiful already. This is not because they’re blind to your shortcomings but because they so clearly see your soul. Your shortcomings then dim by comparison. The people who care about you are willing to let you be imperfect and beautiful, too.

This is a predatory world we live in. It's not good or bad, it just is.

Distance...

Does "distance make the heart grow fonder"?

The Question is- do individuals grow fonder of each other as they are physically separated?

Yes it makes a difference but based on perspective, the bond can be as strong but a very different feeling maybe even connects to separate chakras...fills different voids in our life.

Maybe that’s why monks teach total observance only...no connection.

It depends on what the platonic friendships are built upon. If it's friendships for just hanging out and having fun time together then eventually they/ we find new friends as distance separates them.

If its friendships build on intellectual, spiritual interests then these can deepen via distance as each friend experience new challenges and lessons with the new geography and they/ we will share these across the miles.

Particularly with today's technology, it's instantaneous! Consider friendships of this nature build on face book!

Many of whom we never met in real life before, yet these bonds are often inexplicably stronger than most friendships we have in real life based on the rare power of synergism via similar interests and overlap of experiences.

If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders...

Life's inherit timer is always set on perfect!

Life is conspiring in your favour. 


It may not always look that way, but it is, I assure you.

Morning comes every day; the sunrise does not fail, nor the sunset.

Give it time.

That is all that may be required. Just give it time.

Do not try to push the river.

The cycles of life present themselves, play themselves out, and make smooth every passage and terrain.

Life is a perfect unfoldment and ALL is in Divine order.

That reminds me of a line in a poem by Rumi:

 "Even after all these years, the sun never says to the earth - you owe me. Look what happens with a love like that, it lights the whole sky."

How can we stay in sitting position when we face a problem?

To push the river is unwise.

But to find out the underlying cause for the problem and to try to solve the problem are justified.

If we got all the things serially like day and night without effort, obviously we were be happy.

Finding silence in Music

For me silence is not the absence of sound, or the stillness of the mind.

It is the opening to the natural stream of well-being, a state of peace and harmony.

Sometimes I find this in traditional stillness, often I find this through music.

I was thinking about how much I appreciate music:

Being able to find a song that matches my mood in 10 seconds on my phone

My favourite radio station Digitally Imported, for uplifting vocal trance

Going epic clubbing in Buenos Aires, with sweat, beats and smiles

How music and rhythm are part of every culture and religion

Listening to Chris Martin sing 'Fix You' live to an ecstatic audience

Cruising along the road to a great soundtrack and throbbing engine sound

Making out to a powerful song – loud

Hearing the acoustic version of Why Does My Heart Feel So Bad?

For the first time on a beach in Thailand

The depth, precision and clarity of a high-end sound system

Opening my canopy at 12 000 feet on a sunset jump, and loading a song

How music is effectively used in enhancing the movie experience

Headphones, for making music portable and accessible everywhere

The emotions that music wakes up in people – universally

While running, being pleasantly surprised by a new playlist

Low background music setting the ambience in a restaurant of café

Someone playing the guitar by a bonfire

And since everything is vibration and energy – that we are in a way a musical piece of art.

Groomed....

How do you guys feel when you see individuals of the same gender as yourself super-groomed?

Women (We Men) react in different ways on noticing other attractive/groomed Women. Some admittedly feel jealous while others get unbelievably intimidated.

I feel excitedly MOTIVATED and SO very glad to see groomed women and men-
are it in physique,
intellect and/ or
Consciousness
as this is proof of their Awareness and interest to take care of one/ more dimensions of them.

This is indeed progress for our Universal Evolution.

It's always good to see people that take pride in their appearance...

There is a LIMIT Extraordinary External Beauty can give one luck, eventually it will become clears that although the outside of the cup is shining and beautiful, that the inside is filled with filth and decay.....

Kind of like you can talk to me for 15 minutes but after that you better know something because it don't take long to figure a person out after that..

Give me a tired and worn cup that is shiny, sparkly clean and beautiful within!
