During all of the shifts and escalations of consciousness since that time period, and since we have been wiping the sleep from our eyes, it has become increasingly more obvious that we have been waiting for the 7th Day as the time when integrated co-creation is finally possible. This day, according to the Pleiadian High Council, is "<i>a time of feminine and masculine balance and when those on the path of higher consciousness achieve the physical manifestations of their sacred intentions."</i></p><p><b>Diagnostic Testing</b></p><p style="background-color: transparent;">Throughout most of October, after we emerged on the other side of the 10/10/10 portal, we were launched into what the PHC referred to as our "diagnostic testing" period in preparation for the final gateway of this year on 12/12…<i>how did you fare?</i></p><p>The overriding purpose of this testing period was to see how we handled the incredible frequencies of home for an extended period of time…those energies which are experienced as bliss, creativity, centeredness and non-polarized joy thru a purified body. This was a three week window by which we were able to notice how well we balanced the new energies in a grounded and spiritually responsible way (the focused co-creative blend of male/female energies)…and if we were capable of fully integrating this level of joy in our mental, emotional, and physical bodies.</p><p>At best, you may have been completely immersed in a 3-week (fast moving &amp; nearly symptom free) virtual reality of your new life …with extended periods of what my sister Kim coined as…"ascension amnesia". These are those periods of alignment when you are so immersed in the new energies that you COMPLETELY forget about the last 10 years of brutality. Its like the memory of suffering has just been erased from our hard drive. Thank GOD-DESS for that upgraded feature.</p><p>At the least, you may have experienced some random "bliss-bunnies", moments of "all is well", waves of creativity trying to push thru the dense goo, and a sudden, tho not constant, appreciation for your life just as it is…intermingled with the ups and downs of the process and the usual clearing symptoms.</p><p>Or maybe an amalgamation of both...</p><p>For me, these energies manifested as an INTENSE three weeks of grounded vitality and productivity focused on completing old business and aligning more of my external reality with the visions and intentions of my new life. It felt very unusual for me because as a cosmic correspondent, I usually need to keep my head stationed in the clouds and my feet securely fastened on the earth...but for those 3 weeks, I had no interest in anything off-world.</p><p>It almost felt like I was gifted with a final blast of the physical fuel and clarity required to deal with some very practical stuff…like back taxes (eeks)…and just in the nick of time because we are very obviously being completely squeezed out of our old lives. I literally managed to accomplish more in those three weeks than I have in the last 5 earth years…tho honestly (and secretly) while waiting for that other shoe to drop : (( …and it definitely did, but those three weeks were well worth it : ))</p><p style="background-color: transparent;">Eventually tho, every week will be like those three…imagine what we will be able to accomplish!</p><p><b>New Teachers, Leaders &amp; Visionaries</b></p> <p>The current state of the masses is still largely one of fear, limitation, and separation from our true limitless source of creative potential and abundance. During the 7th day, those who feel called to active service by way of new earth leadership (world teachers, leaders in all sects of society, guides, visionaries, etc) will be afforded the opportunity to step further into the limelight, into a position of greater global influence to expose the truth of creation, of human limitlessness, on a grander scale.</p><p>This group of pioneering souls will soon be operating from a much larger platform, and from this period forward, the next wave of leaders (Indigo-Crystals) who are called to service will be magnetically drawn to your works, visions and new earth creations in a way that will inspire, uplift and assist in determining the path of each and every individual who strives to achieve full-human potential for the planetary ascension.</p><p>(NOTE: The Pleiadians are careful to say that those who are publicly positioned as the living examples of truth will not be bombarded, or overcome with burden and responsibility... but that you will suddenly become desirous of a more public persona if this is your role. They mention this as reassurance that if you are currently feeling overwhelmed with biological purification/physical integration symptoms, and the thought of this is daunting, that this next step will align perfectly with radiant health and vitality.)</p><p style="display: inline;">I am also hearing that what will happen within the remaining weeks of this year (and with the support of Venus/Jupiter turning direct on 11/18) will be quite miraculous…some (with more public roles) will be catapulted to positions of influence nearly overnight, and many more will be blindsided by new opportunities that will seemingly arise out of thin air. For those who are well aware of your next moves, you too will have some unplanned surprises.</p><p>There will be moments of awe as we meet up with more new/old members of our soul families (these relationships/connections will come in MANY forms)…our brothers and sisters of divine heritage who have come forth to work together with us, so that we may support each other in implementing our new-earth endeavors.</p><p style="background-color: transparent;">The PHC say that <i>"</i>t<i>his is a very exciting time by which those who are positioned as new earth leaders in many different fields will finally have the leverage, support, connectivity, technology and influence to attract the focus of the masses (think social media), just as those who are false leaders will continue to be wildly exposed for their true intentions."</i></p><p style="background-color: transparent;">Never in our played-out patriarchal his-tory has there been a more ripe potential for massive planetary change... and each of us have been witnessing the fall out of an outworn system while simultaneously laboring to birth a new system of true sustainability since 1999. Due, in part, to our many selfless years of clearing work, world dominance from the western (masculine) hemisphere of the global brain is rapidly drawing to a close to make way for a whole new context in our world systems...(government, industry, economy, etc.)…one that is based in transparency, integrity and the needs of the people. Imagine that.</p><p><b>Sacred Counterparts</b></p><p>For those sole sojourners out there…making this heinous trek alone...this just in:</p><p><i>"Furthermore, we would like to remind those longing for their soul companions to rest assured that the love brought forth by the community of light thru the merging of sacred feminine and masculine energies will ensure the reuniting of your counterparts. In many situations, you already know these souls well, however in differing relationships. Take note of sudden changes in your feelings and associations with those already known to you. Together, you will co-create, and in some cases, pro-create, in divine union, harmony and enlightened love."</i> -PHC<i><br /></i></p><p><b>Sweeping the Floors</b></p><p>There is no doubt left that there is an overwhelming sense of completion in the air…the wrapping up of many internal &amp; external affairs that will continue to take precedence as the month moves on. These events are precipitated by universal endings/beginnings and are required for us to move forward...past the mis-creations of our once separated consciousness.</p><p>As we continue to finalize the past we have also been simultaneously creating in the new energies. While we traverse this overlap period, it has been quite a balancing act of going back and forth between worlds…finishing up the past and immersing ourselves more and more into our newly created futures.</p><p>It's kind of like that crazy period between a new and old residence. The universe has given us the keys to our new place so we can move our furniture and boxes and get a feel for what it will be like to live there... and our landlord has been kind enuf to give us an extra weekend to move everything out of our old apartment. We are not fully in our new home, but not fully in the old either…but really, all we have left to do is sweep the floors and discard the last remnants of what we choose not to take with us to our new lives.</p><p>In many cases, this in between space may mean finishing up outworn relationships/wrapping up a divorce, finalizing outstanding financial/legal matters, terminating old businesses/biz partnerships, careers, actual relocations, etc., while simultaneously starting new relationships/friendships/<wbr>courtships, creating/starting a new business/career, and receiving new ideas &amp; potential opportunities for financial security.</p><p>It's a busy time, and we need to keep both worlds in balance while we continue to make the complete transition. In this final hour, and as a gift for our futures, those things that are in need of resolution are still front and center, requiring our attention so that we can seal off those old energies…for good.</p><p>This is tricky right now because we are undergoing a very physical integration period from the vibrational bump up to the 7th day and the 11/11 frequencies...which can make it difficult to even get out of bed..but come the middle-end of the month, we will begin moving forward again into the new territory with greater mental expansion and fuller integration of our spiritual-human selves.</p><p>If you've done the work to unbridle yourself from old obligatory energies, then come the 12/12 portal of completion, there will be nothing left to hinder you, bring you back to the old, or block you from experiencing the full effect of the inspirational-based energies.</p><p><i>Dare we say that this Christmas may gift us with the best present possible?</i></p><p><b>Physical Happenings</b></p><p>OMG, yes, we are still undergoing massive biological reconstruction as enormous changes continue to take place in our physical bodies...even our cells are no longer able to operate as they used to. As always, this process can cause great challenges and make it very difficult (read: impossible) to stay in our center. It's not that these increasing frequencies are going to let up per say, but that our bodies are becoming more capable to integrate them…tho you'd never convince me of that.</p><p>One of the reasons for the often unbearable aches and pains is because we are entering the realm of galactic consciousness...a state of telepathic union with our star brothers and sisters and those of the higher dimensions. To work closely with these energies and beings requires that we are purified on every level which ultimately results in our cells' ability to hold more light, to mutate and self-heal from a genetic level. OUCH.</p><p>For the last few months, and in addition to the smorgasbord of the usual symptoms, there has been an unrelenting concentration of intensified aches and pains that seem to be "centering" around the spine.</p><p>This is nothing to fear, in fact, it is something to celebrate since our vital life force (Kundalini) is working feverishly to burn off all remaining layers of discord in preparation for the completion of our sacred union with the divine. (The positive and negative charges of kundalini energy move through the chakras and around the spine to the head (pineal/pituitary) where cosmic consciousness occurs as a result of the merging of the two opposing energy streams...the sacred marriage, where the divine feminine &amp; masculine become one.) So think of this pain as the ultimate wedding gift : ))</p><p><b>Integration Technique</b></p><p>For the battle worn, and those who are finding it particularly difficult to integrate these energies on a physical level, the Pleiadians recommend a balancing technique that will assist in grounding these high frequencies with greater ease.</p><p>The pushing and pulling force of our mental meddling can slow down the healing process and block the flow which causes these energies to get stuck or lodged in our cells. They say that we can greatly decrease the discomfort by surrendering/accepting the process and getting out of our own way...to let the energies "do their thang", without resistance or attachment. (yes, they make it sound so easy)</p><p>They say this simple technique (used regularly) will help to maintain equilibrium in our cells:</p><ul><li>First, get comfortable…you can sit or lay down, whichever suits you. Take a deep cleansing breath in and exhale slowly.</li></ul><ul><li>Next, envision a (coaxial : ) cord of light descending down into the top of your head, thru your spine and plugged into the earths core.</li></ul><ul><li>Once this cord firmly anchored and running thru the center of your physical being, release yourself from your physical body and observe it objectively. <span>(this part of the technique allows you to remove your perception of the energy which enables it to flow without resistance, increasing the rate of physical integration and lessening the discomfort of it)</span></li></ul><ul><li>Try to see yourself downloading these high vibrational frequencies through this cord of light that anchors you into physical reality (if you have a hard time seeing yourself, put yourself in a funny costume : ))</li></ul><p>NOTE: You can also open up and direct the flow of energy in those areas that are causing you most discomfort. (These areas of discomfort are those that are still holding some 3d dimensional debris in need of transmutation)</p><ul><li>After a few minutes you should begin to feel some relief in your body, if not, keep at it until you notice a significant change, even if it is just your state of mind that shifts. When you do, jump back in that (inflated) flesh suit, take a deep breath, and come back to...reality?</li></ul><p style="display: inline;">By removing ourselves from the process, we are enabling a smoother transition as the energies to work to resolve emotional issues and heal our cellular tissues without mental interference. The pushing and pulling of energy that happens when we are mentally involved in the healing process slows down the rate of transmutation a great deal so </p><u>engaging in this visualization a few times a day (to keep the energies moving) is more efficient than engaging in it only when discomfort arises.</u><p style="display: inline;"> This clearing technique should be viewed more as energetic hygiene, a way to keep the body continually clear of discordance and mental resistance to the process.</p><p>If this technique alone does not bring you enuf relief, one or all three of these should do the trick:<br /></p><ol><li>light stretching or a walk (in nature if possible) to assist detoxification </li><li>yoga to stimulate endocrine system and balance hormones (the endocrine system consists of our thyroid, parathyroid, pituitary, adrenal, pineal, and reproductive glands) </li><li>or an Epsom salt/clay bath to assist in detox and soak the pain out of muscles</li></ol><p style="display: inline;">Bottom line: our bodies really need our love right now.</p> <p><b>Separation of Worlds</b></p><p>As we enter this new cycle of transformation (the 7th day), we are literally pioneering a period in which an enhanced human species will give birth to itself. In may ways, the road splits here and those who are ready to move forward into a new earth will come together in community and shared resources to bathe in the light of higher-dimensional dwelling and the co-creation of a new paradigm. These souls will be the living examples of "what's next" on our human-galactic evolutionary journey.</p><p>Those who have not yet completed the vibrational work to unlock the galactic codes required to access this new domain are not going away or leaving our lives per say…they are simply being given another opportunity, through karmic cycling, to move forward and choose a higher path. Keep in mind that this is not a linear process (as in first/last), and we are not waiting for others to "catch up," so to speak.</p><p>In many cases, those souls seemingly "behind" were actually holding down the forts, waiting for us…to go first. Some of these characters in our lives were merely playing the part of antagonist, anchor or support system for us to blindly make this journey…alone.</p><p style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 153);">As a result, it may become obvious how some friends, family, coworkers, etc. may be suddenly finding themselves back at the beginning of their journey again…like a 1 step forward, 2 steps back scenario...not quite landing where they thought they would or intended to.</p><p style="background-color: transparent;">This is all part of the perfect timing in the "game" we are playing and nothing to be bummed out about. Truthfully, if I had to do this all again, I would definitely go next to last ; )) Besides, with the compression of time, the next turn on the collective karmic wheel will be equivalent to 5 minutes in earth time ; ))</p><p style="background-color: transparent;">In other words we are all <b>exactly</b> where we should be.</p><p style="background-color: transparent;">Catch you on the flip side,<br />Lauren<i> Cargo<br /></i><br /><span><a href="http://www.thinkwithyourheart.net/" title="ThinkWithYourHeart.net" target="_blank"><span><span><span><span><span><span>ThinkWithYourHeart</span></span></span></span></span></span>.net</a></span></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-2046244168108230465?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-45899728086508693682010-03-19T09:54:00.004-06:002010-03-19T10:02:44.035-06:00RELATIONSHIPS<br /><div><br /></div><div style="margin: 1ex;"> <div> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">It is difficult to imagine anything that is more encase</span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/S6Ofsww3L0I/AAAAAAAAAKA/pB_Px2N1v2A/s1600-h/rainbow+angel.jpg"><img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 301px; height: 299px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/S6Ofsww3L0I/AAAAAAAAAKA/pB_Px2N1v2A/s320/rainbow+angel.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5450375565401337666" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">d in myth and fairy tales than our society's construct of romantic relationships. We will meet "THE ONE" and fall in love and live happily ever after. With more than half of marriages ending in divorce these days it is stunning that we still insist on preserving this myth.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">In my understanding of my truths relationships offer us the greatest opportunities for growth as humans, angels in embodiment. Not just romantic relationships but family, friends, co-workers, all relationships between individuals.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Speaking to romantic relationships we have got it mostly wrong. And consciously awake, Lightworkers, if you will, and their clamoring for union with their Twin Flames. . .are not knowing and understanding the depth of that aspect of our beingness. It is my knowing that most of our aspects we identify as Twin Flames are NOT in embodiment at this time. Most of our longing for that "other part" of us is not about meeting another human here in body that will bring us happiness and fulfill our every fantasy of love. Our true longing is to become "WHOLE." And that, dear hearts, is the process of merging with our higherselves. That is the process of loving ourselves totally and completely for who we are becoming. Who we are now. Who we have been during our expression of the physical, mental, spiritual, etheric in this lifetime or any other. There is no "other" here or "out there" that can or will complete us except us. </span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">We have a very elementary outstanding of what love is. We often talk about there being something called "Unconditional Love" which we differentiate from romantic love. Love is truly all encompassing, there is no difference in love. Truly. There is love with physical intimacy but at its depth it must truly be unconditional. There is no "off button" or "on button" for love. There is deep abiding love with or without physical, sexual expression. When we actually learn to love self and then expand that to "Love others as you love yourself" it brings us to the beginning of expanding into real love for all. Not the intellectualized version of love but the true, deep heart center love for all of creation and all beings within that creation.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">We have physical vibrational energy attractions to others. We may choose to act on them or not in an intimate and sexual way. If that attraction then leads us to the thing we call "falling in love" we may then agree to become partners for a time. What most of us, and it is mainly women, do is have wild fantasy expectations of our partner that they will become some wonderful version of what or who we want them to be. The truth is the person you see before you right now is who that person is. The only ways in which they will change are the ways that THEY desire to change. Their growth or lack of it is totally their choice and is none of our business. WE CANNOT CHANGE ANOTHER PERSON! Nor do we have the right to attempt to change them. If we are confident enough to negotiate different behaviors with each other in a loving and considerate way and we are willing to and desire to agree on ways we each might benefit from some compromise, that is a choice to make change. Demanding anything from another because it is what WE want from them not only will not work it is an insult to the sovereignty of the other's being. It cannot work.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">When we are in the throes of emotion and physical attraction we seldom have the necessary conversations with the object of our affection that tell them specifically who we are and in return they share with us who they are. When we know who each of us are, only then can we make an informed decision about how we will choose to define our relationship. The person in front of you is who they are. The changes they may make are THEIR choice, not yours.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">We do not grow and advance at the same rates nor in the same directions. By intent and desire sometimes one partner chooses to accelerate growth at a much greater speed than the other. Sometimes we grow in very different directions. Some are resistant to growth of any type. So. . .knowing that, how foolish is it that we pledge ourselves to commitments of "Until Death Do Us Part?" And how predictable is it that most will not complete that commitment?</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">I will use myself as an example. In my past relationships I held the concept I could justify my relationship with someone by all the "potential" I saw in them. How arrogant! I just thought for certain that if they lived with me day in and day out eventually they would see that the way I handled situations, the way I thought and behaved, the things I aspired to would somehow magically become imprinted on them and they would become. . .what?. . .another version of me? . . .a better version of them? Arrogant!</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">When I had the opportunity to live alone for nearly 10 years and do the important work on myself I came to understand how totally ignorant I had been about relationships. I came to understand that I was not honoring the other person for who they are but for who I hoped they would become. Each of us has the right to be who we are. Each of us must spend the time and effort to discover who it is we truly are. From that place of knowing (the good, the bad, the ugly) we then can choose who WE wish to become. Who we are becoming is more important than anything else we intend.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">In the wonderful experience I was given in writing my book I was given the opportunity to meet and interact with my Twin Flame. Something that was more astonishing to me than anything I have ever experienced. As the writing progressed I had actual interactions at some level of physical experience with this divine being. I was awestruck. I could barely comprehend how this was possible but it was as real as me sitting next to you in physical person. Prior to this experience I was not exactly certain just what this "Twin Flame" that many spoke of really was or is. Certainly I had read many things about it. I knew quite a few others who were in constant "begging" of the Universe or Source to reunite them with their twin flame in this physical life. . .where was he or she? I did not rule out the existence of such, but I just was rather uncertain that there was such a thing as a Twin Flame. I was not one who was asking for a physical Twin Flame to show up on my doorstep. I wasn't sure they actually existed. So, yes, I was knocked off my feet by my meeting and experience.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Over months of these interactions and daily conversations with this divine one I was told that she and I were integrating, combining, become one with each other. It was a transformational experience of extraordinary proportions. We remain individualized yet truly integrated in oneness. I doubt there are words to fully or even surfacely describe it.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">But it is. I am the new person that I have become because of it.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">When I chose to enter into my new relationship here in the physical, it was and is with full knowledge of what I have learned. There is no forever more or death do us part. Of course we will be forever with each other in whatever means and purpose that might be, probably most certainly not in the relationship manner that we feel we are currently in.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Everything I do and say I bring from my deepest heart center of Universal Unconditional Love. I have become one who lives in my heart center. I do not get caught up in trivial, unimportant things that may not be the way I would choose to do something. I have full allowing of my partner to be who she truly is in all that encompasses. I also am in full allowing of me being who I am. I honor her individuality. She honors mine, which is amazing in as much as I am one of those "crazy, woo woo, New Age, Metaphysical weirdos" and she is not. We have many complementary things about our personalities/beingness. We have many very different aspects of ourselves that could be seen as opposite. I have no requirement that she be anything other than who she is. I explained to her very early on who I am and what is important to me and that my spiritual seeking and expressions will not ever be less than the most important thing in my life. She has accepted that. We don't pick at each other's differences. We allow them. </span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">I entered this relationship saying this is what it is for today. Each hour of each day it is what it is and what joy, comfort and pleasure it brings us. I have forecast nothing beyond today, this hour, this moment, this NOW. Our devotion and intent that our love grow and expand in our highest and best good is very strong. We do not speculate on how many days, weeks, months or years that may encompass. It is wonderfully what it is today. Now. And we know full well there is nothing beyond NOW.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Where your focus is will determine how you experience everything in life on this planet. I focus on the wonderful, the miraculous, the joyful, the beauty, the peace, the contentment, the ever expanding love. When it comes to my partner I focus on all that is positive and admirable, all that is beautiful, fun, interesting, praise worthy and I forget about anything that is not in alignment with that. What you focus on is what you get. The law of attraction in action. What you focus on is what you get. Each of us must KNOW this in our deepest heart and soul. We choose what we focus on. We choose millions of times each day what we will focus on. What we focus on is what we get.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Our focus is what determines our vibrational energy. We can have whatever we want if that is what we focus on. And we can have whatever we don't want if that is what we focus on. It could not be more simple. But to intellectualize that concept and not encompass it and integrate it into our heart center will not serve us. You cannot think this, you must become this. I AM BECOMING LOVE. Love is my focus. What I focus on is what I get.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">So in our ongoing releasing of things that no longer serve us. . .all those things that trigger irritation, all those things that others do or say that we feel opposed to. . . we release our resistance to things that are not our way of doing or being. We release them and understand with love that that is just where the other is, that is just where they are along their path of growth and advancement. We love them and we do not focus on where we disagree or feel in opposition to them, we release our resistance. We let go of all those old trigger reactions, we heal the experiences that brought the triggers into place in the first place, and we just let go of them. When our focus is on Love and all things positive we serve the highest and best of all creation. We absolutely get what we focus on.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">We can re-act or we can act. Our actions in love from our purist and deepest heart center are always right. Always. Reactions usually take us down a less positive and less productive path.</span><br /></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Blessings and love for your continued actions in love and caring for others,</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Endlessly I AM</span></p> <p><span style="font-family:Calibri;font-size:100%;">Shirl</span></p> </div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-4589972808650869368?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-57887338722354060122009-12-14T08:16:00.001-07:002009-12-14T08:19:44.773-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/SyZXVlP-x7I/AAAAAAAAAH8/32CSLS5EyoA/s1600-h/Picture0018.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/SyZXVlP-x7I/AAAAAAAAAH8/32CSLS5EyoA/s320/Picture0018.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5415111630247610290" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Musings</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">from Shirl</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">What does it mean? This 12:12 and the 12:21, what do they mean?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">What is it that is inherent in these elegant and exquisite energies?</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">We have benefited from many messages the past few weeks that have talked in detail of the various components of the energies. Read them again, or recall them in your mind/heart. Consider what has been offered for our understanding.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Then know this: The over-lighting theme of all the layers contained within these energies is TRUST.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">You must have and maintain an overwhelming trust of your knowing. What you know at your deepest knowing is not those multitude of facts and figures and emotions of the intellectual mind. You know only from your heart center. What is contained in your intellect is extraneous. This can be very difficult for many to grasp, let alone willingly shift to the place of knowing rather than rely upon the intellectual mind. It is counter to all that we were taught and all that has been described to us as the way we must be here as humans.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Knowing comes from our connection to higher energy, to higher-self, to creator source. If we have done the work of self-examination, of learning who we truly are, we are able to open our arms and hearts to deeply love the truth of who we are. From love of self comes all love. From Love comes all knowing. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">There are no steps one through 12 that we must take, no incantations, no rituals, no ceremonies necessary. When we KNOW from our hearts and we TRUST that we are who we are whatever we envision is possible and does indeed manifest into our now moment.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">What I was told: Forget everything you ever learned about spiritual concepts, ways and means, rites, rituals, and steps. Forget everything about everything. . .that the earth turns on its axis, that the sun rises in the East, that gravity holds our physical presence on this planet. . .everything. Move into your heart so you may KNOW.</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Follow your knowing. Understand that possibilities are endless and potential is limitless. There is nothing that is actually linear. Erase your concerns with the concept of linear "time." For you hold all the answers and all the keys and all the limitless power to create when you trust your knowing. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">We came here with one over-riding mission, to EXPERIENCE life as a physical being. OF course we had other important things that we wanted to do here, to help with here, but basically it has all been to experience and expand consciousness. We already know how things truly work and how to make whole that which appears to be damaged. It has ever been a work of remembering. A work of trust. It still is.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Remember who you are. Know that YOU are the Divine Being that you truly are. Then act from that place of Love and knowing and the miracles will encircle you. You are indeed MAGIC! You have what those of this world consider magical powers and presence. It is just the manifestation of your true self. Use it knowing that it is there and available. There is no need for an instruction manual. You already know. If you do things from your heart, if you listen to your own inner guidance, you will actively create the outcomes you desire. You cannot "think your way" through it, but you can accomplish all things miraculous if you just KNOW. If you TRUST that you Know.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">It is all about TRUST. It is all about LOVE. It is all about Knowing.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Do not diminish your divine power by questioning it. Trust.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Blessings of love</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">endlessly</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 0);">Shirl</span><br /><span style="color:#888888;"><br /></span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-5788733872235406012?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-57789462380511688482009-08-15T11:08:00.001-06:002009-08-15T11:10:13.977-06:00<h2 style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><b><b><a href="http://myvillageblue2.wordpress.com/2009/08/15/where-am-i/" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to Where Am I?">Where Am I?</a></b></b></h2> <b style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><b> </b></b><p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);" class="date"><b><b>Posted by <a href="http:///">shirlstars</a> on August 15, 2009</b></b></p> <b style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><b> </b></b><div class="entrytext"> <b style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><b> </b></b><div class="snap_preview"><p style="color: rgb(153, 51, 0);"><b><b>The magnitude of everything that is encompassing my life these days is astonishing.

Beginning in the 1960s, other subatomic particles were discovered. In the 1980s, it was discovered that protons and neutrons (and other <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hadron" title="Hadron">hadrons</a>) are themselves made up of smaller particles called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quarks" title="Quarks" class="mw-redirect">quarks</a>. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_theory" title="Quantum theory">Quantum theory</a> is the set of rules that describes the interactions of these particles.</i></p> <p><i>In the 1980s, a new mathematical model of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theoretical_physics" title="Theoretical physics">theoretical physics</a> called <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_theory" title="String theory">string theory</a> emerged. It showed how all the particles, and all of the forms of energy in the universe, could be constructed by hypothetical one-dimensional "strings," infinitely small building-blocks that have only the dimension of length, but not height or width. Further, string theory suggested that the universe is made up of multiple dimensions. We are familiar with height, width, and length as three dimensional space, and time gives a total of four observable dimensions. However, string theories supported the possibility of ten dimensions--the remaining 6 of which we can't detect directly. These "strings" vibrate in multiple dimensions, and depending on how they vibrate, they might be seen in 3-dimensional space as matter, light, or gravity. It is the vibration of the string which determines whether it appears to be matter or energy, and every form of matter or energy is the result of the vibration of strings.</i></p> <p><i>String theory then ran into a problem: another version of the equations was discovered; then another, and then another. Eventually, there were five major string theories, all based on a 10-dimensional universe, and all of them appeared to be correct. Scientists were not comfortable with five seemingly contradictory sets of equations to describe the same thing.</i></p> <p><i>In the mid 90s, a string theorist named <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Witten" title="Edward Witten">Edward Witten</a> of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Institute_for_Advanced_Study" title="Institute for Advanced Study">Institute for Advanced Study</a> and other important researchers considered that the five different versions of string theory might be describing the same thing seen from different perspectives. They proposed a unifying theory called "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M-Theory" title="M-Theory" class="mw-redirect">M-Theory</a>", in which the "M" is not specifically defined, but is generally understood to stand for "membrane." M-Theory brought all of the string theories together. It did this by asserting that strings are really 1-dimensional slices of a 2-dimensional membrane vibrating in 11-dimensional space.</i></p> <p><i><a name="Status" id="Status"></a></i></p> <h2><i><span class="editsection"><br /></span><span class="mw-headline"></span></i></h2> <p><i>M-Theory is not yet complete, but the underlying structure of the mathematics has been established, and is in agreement with not only all the string theories but with all of our scientific observations of the universe. Furthermore, it has passed many tests of internal mathematical consistency, which many other attempts to combine quantum mechanics and gravity failed. Unfortunately, until we can find some way to observe higher dimensions (impossible with our current level of technology) M-Theory has a very difficult time making predictions which can be tested in a laboratory. Technologically, it may never be possible for it to be "proven." However, many <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cosmologists" title="Cosmologists" class="mw-redirect">cosmologists</a>, including <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_Hawking" title="Stephen Hawking">Stephen Hawking</a>, are drawn to M-Theory because of its mathematical elegance and relative simplicity.

A little less difficult but equally challenging is an explanation of how we got to that belief. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />As I pondered what it is I personally believe and how I could possibly convey it I came to this:</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I believe in <b>MORE.</b></span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have an unwavering belief that <b>there is more.</b> I have always believed in <b>more,</b> and that <b>more</b> is all encompassing. I see, experience, feel and believe that there is <b>more to everything.</b><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">In my endless curiosity here I have seen it over and over again. <b>There is more.</b> My theory of <b>more</b> postulated to myself has proved itself out a million, million times in every area of life and experience. There is <b>more</b> to science, there is <b>more</b> to art, there is <b>more</b> to music, there is <b>more</b> to sound, there is <b>more</b> to sight, there is <b>more</b> to literature, there is <b>more</b> to feeling, there is <b>more</b> to understanding, there is <b>more</b> to pain, there is <b>more</b> to discomfort, there is <b>more</b> to greed, there is <b>more</b> to detachment, there is <b>more</b> to love, there is <b>more</b> to hate, there is <b>more</b> to fear, there is <b>more</b> to blissfulness, there is <b>more</b> to beauty, there is <b>more</b> to reality, <b>more</b> to the earth, <b>more</b> to space, <b>more</b> to time, <b>more</b> to the universe, <b>more</b> to the multi-verse, <b>more</b> to all of creation that I have yet to discover and once discovered to understand.<br /><br />And beyond that <b>more,</b> there is <b>more.</b> Never once have I been proven to be mistaken in this, <b>there is more</b> to everything we can comprehend and perceive than we CAN comprehend and perceive.

Going to your job everyday, sitting alone in your room, digging in dumpsters for some scraps of food or useful items, anything and everything we do. . .all of it is spiritual. We are spiritual beings, all of us. We are on a spiritual journey, all of us. How we choose to experience that journey, what purpose or lack of purpose we find along the way, is truly ours to create in every moment of now.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><strong>MORE</strong> tells me that there are <b>more</b> ways to have this human experience than there are beings on the planet and as each new being arrives there is indeed a new more that comes in with them.

It is certainly very tempting for us to do so, especially when we feel that our way is producing a much more enjoyable or less stressful path. Whatever one gets from their belief system that brings them joy and happiness, that makes their life worthwhile to them. . .that then, is obviously the right choice of a path for them along their journey.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I see that what I give to others purely from my heart comes back to me as <b>more.</b> I see when I have no plan to get anything from others, but give to others what I feel to give, it is always returned to me as <strong>more.</strong> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">For me, the understanding that there is <b>more</b> is the most comforting, loving and expansive belief that I can hold. </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">May your lives contain <b>MORE</b> than you ever imagined possible.<br /><br />LOVE is all there is.<br /></span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Namaste`</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Shirl </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-114695152699653523?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1157843627523120992008-05-25T18:00:00.004-06:002008-06-06T16:20:38.855-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRSiltHnuI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ClVo0I0OqTM/s1600-h/AFreedom.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009219439733219042" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRSiltHnuI/AAAAAAAAAAk/ClVo0I0OqTM/s320/AFreedom.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">WELCOME To Matters of Spirit</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">This Site is updated frequently . .come back often and see what's new.

Still the most blessed being in the Universe.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">And there is a reason for that. . .this happens to be my favorite topic, so forgive me if I ramble on a bit here.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am not specifically aiming these remarks at you, but your emotions and concerns strike a chord with things I have learned over the years of my life.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">My "evolution" began with the knowledge, maybe even the absolute stubborn determination that no one anywhere ever was going to see me as a "Victim." It was not a role I was willing to play.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There comes a time in each of our lives when we have to choose who is in charge. Am I going to be in charge of my life and times or am I going to hand that over to others? Am I going to define who it is that I am or am I going to allow others to tell me who I am? Who is responsible for me and who I am becoming? </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Even as a child I didn't like anyone telling me who I was or what I should be doing, so that one was definitely out of the question. That doesn't mean that I didn't try to measure up to others expectations of me, or often think I "should" be this or that or I should be doing this or that. I went through it too, just as most all of us do. I cared what others thought or said about me. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Here's the truth: Each of us is responsible for our own lives and our version of reality. The first time I ever considered that concept I will have to admit that it totally pissed me off. I was sure that I would never have created the mess, pain and difficulties in my life that I had experienced. That's just plain stupid, I thought. I thought of every "yeah but. . ." that I could possibly come up with. The stunning truth of it was that there are no yeah but's anywhere that can hold water. It was (and is) a process, but bit by bit I began to move away from blaming anyone, especially myself for circumstances that I felt made my life unbearable at times. (and this came to my knowing when I was quite a few years older than you dear heart)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The simplest explanation of the Law of Attraction is that we get what we focus on. WE GET WHAT WE FOCUS ON! He has, she has, they have so much and I am struggling for so little. What the Universe hears and sees is the I have so little. Oh. . .she is focusing on having so little, lets keep that going for her.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The first step in focus correction and the foundation of Law of Attraction for bringing forth the things we do want is GRATITUDE. GRATITUDE for what we have. Make the list. Write it out (preferably), speak it out loud, run it through your thoughts like an unending tape. Pick different things at different times or review them all every day, but be grateful for the amazing abundance that you have in your life. Stop now and forever more comparing yourself and your life to any others. There is no comparison that matters, ever.</span><br /><br /><b style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">This is a partial list of what comes to mind when I say I am the most blessed being in the universe:</b><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have so much in abundance that I continually am looking for things to give away.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have a warm, comfortable place to live.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have so much food it sometimes goes to waste before I can use it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have adequate transportation (my car) that is reliable and serves me well.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am surrounded by loving, caring and generous people who have my best interests at heart.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The universe supplies my every need.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am filled with wellbeing, physical, mental, emotional and in every way exceptionally healthy.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am in awe of the beauty that surrounds me. It is an extraordinary gift.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The green blade of grass is so amazingly beautiful I love the feel, the look, the smell of it.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The beauty of the flowers is so joyous I can gaze upon them endlessly and be filled with peace and serenity.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The trees are awesome in their stature, their strength, the beauty of their leaves, the texture of their bark, the over arching of their limbs that bring me shade from the heat.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The cats and the dog that share my home with me are a source of great pleasure and love for me.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">All of the creatures that occupy this earth are beautiful and enchanting to behold. I so love the opportunity to have them in my life in any way that they come.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The universe loves me so much it continually supplies me with the beauty and joy of this life experience.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am loved.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am special (we all are, you know)</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I have so much and I am so blessed.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I look forward every moment to the next wonderful opportunity the universe will bring me.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">May my eyes and heart be open to those opportunities and the ways that I might best serve them.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am Fabulous!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I feel Fabulous!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am the most blessed being in the universe!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">~</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I start each day while I am drinking my coffee asking the universe to bring me the opportunities to best serve my highest and best purpose today. And saying "I am so grateful for the abundance of blessings I have." That's it. But throughout the day I notice things. I notice the birds singing and I stop for a second and listen, then smile and express my love for the part they play in my life. Every time I go outside, I notice the trees, the flowers, the grass, the bushes, the clouds, the sunshine, the rain, the snow, the breeze, the wind, the smells of sagebrush and fresh earth being turned by the nearby farmers. I notice. I speak my appreciation of it. My gratitude. I love it!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I bless and am blessed by the people and things I interact with everyday. Regardless of how that interaction may appear, I understand that there is something of value here for me. That is what I look for. Some of the most seemingly objectionable people or incidents in my life are actually blessings of bringing me to a new and expanded understanding of things. I don't take ANYTHING personally. I understand that everyone is just where they are along their path. It doesn't make me better, smarter, worse, or more or less caring, it is just what is. I love them for who I know they truly are that they have not yet realized. We are all, ALL of us a work in progress.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Fear, anger, resentment, struggle, regrets, negative, discouragement. . .and all the other things of that genre come from a place of feeling, "I am not worthy."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Most important thing to understand is EVERYONE is worthy. Without exception, everyone is worthy of love, acceptance, encouragement, praise, abundance and all of the blessings of the universe. Everyone. Even you. Even me.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">When we struggle against anything, when we have resistance to anything, we are not a vibrational match for all of the wonderful things and attributes we want in our lives. When we begin to express our gratitude for the things we want by thanking the Universe for already bringing them forward into our lives we are in alignment to receive those things. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">"Thank you for bringing me the new _______(house, car, job, lover, abundance. . .whatever it may be) I am so happy to see it manifest in my life."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Then let go of it! Stop thinking, but I don't have it yet, when is it coming, I still don't have it. . .every time you do happen to think of what you are wanting it cannot be from a place of not having it. It must be from an appreciation of the universe supplying it to you. Do not put restrictions on the universe. Don't tell it how and when to bring it to you. As soon as your energy lines up with it, it will appear. As soon as it energetically is a match with you and your purpose, it will come. As long as you notice you are lacking it, it just cannot show up in your life because you are focused on the lack.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Oh, it will be so wonderful when the universe brings me _____________ (whatever it is you are wanting). I am so grateful. I am so blessed!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Now here is one that will have amazing benefits. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am so grateful that my ex seems so happy in his new situation. I am so grateful that he is experiencing abundance and well being. </span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am so grateful that everything that I desire in my life is coming forward to bless me in this very moment. I am so grateful that I have a brand new experience of life and love and new people and places that will fulfill me in every way. I am so grateful that I am so blessed! I am so blessed! I am the most blessed. Thank you!</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am worthy of all the blessings and abundance in the universe! </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">( say this one statement I am worthy everyday at least 3 times a day. Start your day with it. If you were as weird as I am you might find yourself saying it over and over and over again under your breath all day long for a few days).</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">That's Shirl's short course. . .see how blessed we are I didn't go into the longer version of it! LOL!</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I love you deeply and eternally. I see more of you than you see and you are most worthy of all blessings forever more. You are worthy. You are beautiful. You are gifted with some very special attributes. You are appreciated. You are loved. You are loved beyond anything you can comprehend.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I appreciate and love having you in my life,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Thank you for all that you bring to me,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Hugs, smiles and unending love,</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Shirl</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-1078910480683031610?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-85489794609236599172008-05-03T13:43:00.003-06:002008-05-03T13:49:22.909-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/SBzA1_iEfiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/DyEZxXwztC0/s1600-h/AlecGabbitas_bnnr.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/SBzA1_iEfiI/AAAAAAAAAEc/DyEZxXwztC0/s320/AlecGabbitas_bnnr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5196240103898644002" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-family:Arial;"><div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>Masters in the Making</strong></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>April 28. 2008</strong></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">====================</span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Each day that dawns is surely a blessing in disguise and an ideal opportunity to readily acknowledge the well versed cliche -"Today is the beginning of the rest of my life!" It is with these simple words, perhaps, that one's life can be brought to an immediate aware-ness or recognition that it is really and truly lived in the now moment and that this now moment is all there is. We are over-busying ourselves, oft times, ‘worrying' what the future might or might not hold for us and the magical opportunity to be wholly present in these current now times can well be lost and not put to the best of use. Everything is, and will always be, in divine order and it is our responsibility to accept this simple fact as we take the helm of our ships and steer her on as straight a course as possible. To experience all or as much as possible upon the journey and not missing out on beneficial experiences that can easily be passed unwittingly by, or not attended to as fully as might be!<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We are a multitude of light-beings that were selected and elected to be here, on planet, during these climes of ascending realities and subsequent opportunities that are afforded to each one of us. It needs not be taken too lightly that our roles and actions carry quite some responsibility and relevance to the forthcoming eventualities that are to unfold and ensue. Future fruitions are subjected to our present collective intents, efforts and ever-growing capabilities. The co-creating of the ‘future' is taking place at this very moment of linear time and is totally co-dependent with these days of preparation and paving of the way, so to speak. Adjusting to and aligning with the ever incoming energy flows and the resultant shifts is an ongoing opportunity that is indeed enough to keep us 'on our toes' and ever alert to the task that we have chosen to undertake and be very much a party to.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Our beloved friends and fellow travellers off planet are also, in their own light, in the very throes of continual busyness and as we, are well aware of the ongoing ebbing and flowing of the universal christed and crystal energies that are paramount in these days of infusion.The universe, as we on planet Earth, is a very busy place and each and every planet or star is in its relevant phase of adjustment and preparation. There is virtually not a sparrow that falls without the sure knowing of the Universal Mind in all It's multifaceted-ness of Being. Immense indeed is the interdependency of life-forms within this grand arena of expansion and there is much realignment and recalibration as the need for co-habitation of like minds and vibrations are being honed and honoured. All is in a state of movement, shifting and alignment as the imminent days of reckoning draw ever nearer to fruition. It will be a gradual procedure and will fall into a synchronicity of ever flowing events heralding the redefinement of parameters and vibrancies.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The alternative planets, three in total, have been selected and are in preparation for their prospective new inhabitants with a wish and desire to continue their third dimensional and relative vibratory experiences. Indeed, in God's house are there many mansions and all will migrate to their own choosing and most suitable domain to further their experiences in a manner in line with their imminent needs and choice. Mother Earth continues in her own magnificent quest to aspire and atone to her criteria of being as she moves in ever perfect momentum towards her, and our, approaching goal of appropriate fifth dimensional plus vibrancies, which will herald of course the ‘shift of the ages' and all it's relevant attributes.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Many of our beloved off planet friends are working ‘full speed ahead' and are virtually moving mountains as their perseverance and able capabilities are exercised to the full, and it is impossible to expound upon that further as third dimensionality words are not suffice.<br /><br />The way ahead is being forged by the many divine architects within the heavens and is being so meticulously assisted by the resident and able light force on planet, whom on an inner level can clearly perceive and participate in the perfect picture in these changing times of note.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Many of the ascended and angelic beings too are moving on to incorporate other interests and avenues of expression as they, too, in their own right place another foot on the rungs of the ever eternal progressive ladder of enlightenment. They, like we, are moving on and it would be logical and apt to suggest that as they do, then will their recognised ‘places' of the now time be filled by others on the pathways of ascendancy. We are not being forgotten, very far from it, we are being assisted as ever by them, and others, as we too are being nurtured and are rising to states of ascendancy that will lead to the filling of those positions in days ahead. Evolutionary progress is the rule of thumb for one and all and it will always be so, a natural universal and omniversal law!<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">So, let us once more cast our attention upon these‘now' times, as ever always, continuing that diligent honing of our multifaceted beings, encouraging our greater selves, our higher of God selves, to be more actively evident in our every day lives. Let us determine that our journey here is to live in physicality to the full, expressing our selves ably through it, and not despite of it. It is a gift in itself, and is the mirror perfect for all that we might have need to look at and to work upon. Know thyself is the keyword as we embrace these final ‘years' of the old paradigm, polishing the multi facets of our beings as we ready for our much and well earned ‘shift of the ages' and all that it will afford.

Thoughts come strolling or sometimes rampaging through your mind. Like today.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">I have been hearing from rather a lot of people in my little realm lately that an avalanche of “things” are coming in on top of them, that people, emotions and circumstances are just overwhelming them. Chaos prevails. Many of them are quite distressed. They are uncertain as how to handle anything. In fact often they feel so incapable and powerless that they are looking for the quickest exit possible. Wit’s end is a place they have passed a few miles back.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left"><span id="more-55"></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">The mass consciousness or what is sometimes called conventional wisdom has trained and programed most all of us to believe that we are powerless beings that life happens to and it ain’t pretty. We are ingrained with the thought that we have no control over our lives. Our parents, our children, our spouse, our boss, our co-workers, our circumstance, our city, our state, our Federal Government, the health care system, the economic system, the giant corporations, the heads of state of the world. . .these are what dictate our lives and times and we are just the pawns on the chess board.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">I used to live there too, so I am very much in compassion for the feeling of being overwhelmed. Yet, I also speak from many years of experience and hard learned lessons. Ask yourself, when you are feeling this way, “Why do I choose to live in such chaos? Why do I choose to remain powerless and allow all of this discord to bombard me?” This is a sincere question. You really should consider asking it of yourself and listening to an inner knowing that will help you discover the answers.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">People often challenge me by suggesting that they do not choose these things, they just happen, it just is how it is here. Really? I would like to suggest that we always have a choice about everything. Sometimes we don’t like the available choices, but there is always a choice.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">We are consciousness energy beings in a physical body. Everything here, regardless of how solid it appears to us is energy vibrating at a specific repetitive speed. The more dense something is, the slower the vibrational speed. The less dense, the higher the vibrational speed. This is “Shirl’s Physics” overly simplified definition. So don’t waste your time or energy explaining the intricacies of the actual physics. I know and understand them fairly well for a non-scientific lay person. And no, I couldn’t hold a decent comprehensive conversation with a physicist, mathematician or scientist of any measure. Just wanting to offer a simple example that most might be able to grasp. If you are into Physics go search out Dr Lisa Randall and read some of her great work on the Theory of Everything. . . .still speculative at this point, but it does enchant the imagination and the intellect.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Rocks vibration, slow. Radio wave vibration, fast. Simple.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">The wonderful and amazing thing about those of us in physical bodies is that WE are in charge of our life and times. Each of us individually either choose to be or choose not to be in charge. Simple. If you say you have not consciously chosen to be powerless and unable to cope with life, then it is most likely that you have chosen by default. By not making a conscious choice we choose by default the status of the energy surrounding us.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Chaos is not actually a negative thing. In fact all creation comes from chaos. The birth of everything new comes from chaos. The chaos of the Big Bang brought forth some pretty amazing stuff, wouldn’t you say?</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Although it is not an overly popular concept, we do actually each create our own version of reality. None of us sees anything exactly in the same way any other does. We often have agreement on certain concepts and ideas and they become those things we call conventional wisdom or mass consciousness.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">There is a big hang up most people have with the idea of creating your own reality, if that is valid, then that means we each must take responsibility for everything in our lives. Oh dear! That just leaves us hanging out there realizing there is never anyone else to blame for anything. That doesn’t go down well with most of us. Surely there are things out of my realm of influence and control. Surely I am not responsible for a long list of things that I feel are repressive and harmful to me. Who would possibly want to take on the responsibility for everything in their life? I need to blame someone. I would never purposely screw things up this badly for myself. No thanks.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">That was pretty much how I felt about it once upon a time. So I certainly commiserate with any who feel similarly.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left"><i>Live Your Life On Purpose!</i> Stop letting life happen to you. Each of us has more power than we can begin to imagine. Step into your personal power by taking control of yourself, by taking responsibility for yourself. You, as a vibrating consciousness energy cannot vibrate for anyone else but you. You cannot change anyone but yourself. You can consciously craft and design and bring into being the self and the life that you wish to have.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Change your perspective. Stop berating and beating up on yourself. Experiences are just experiences. They contain amazing jewels of understanding and wisdom if you search them out. Mistakes are a process of learning. If you are not making mistakes, if you haven’t made mistakes, you aren’t doing anything and you certainly aren’t learning anything. I hope we all make many mistakes in the present and the future because otherwise we might as well be dead. . .we aren’t learning, we aren’t becoming more today than we were yesterday.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Most of us learn that if someone does something that displeases us or says words that feel hurtful to us we must jump immediately to <i>react</i> to those assaults.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Stop caring what others think of you or how you are living your life! </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">It is lovely when others agree with us. It is lovely when others encourage us and praise us. But that doesn’t change who we are one bit more than those who despise us, think us stupid, think us less than dirt or certainly less than they are changes us. We are who we are becoming. None of us is finished yet. None of us will ever be finished. We are constantly and continuously who we are becoming.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">The best advice I ever got about learning not to be a reactionary, a person who reacts to others rather than a person who is who you are becoming, was to allow yourself a small pause, a deep breath and a considered response before responding to anyone about anything.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Raw emotion is exciting and brings its elements of drama with it. We human beings love our drama. But thoughtful, considered interactions bring so much more. Not everything requires a response from us. Imagine that. We don’t need to counter, defend or promote ourselves, ever. Sometimes no response is better than any response.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">While one is taking that small pause and that deep breath first know that you don’t have to be right. . .about anything. . .even when you are certain you are right. Release the need to be right. In your reality you may very well be right. In the others reality you may very well not be right. See how that works. We are not coming from the same perception of who, what and where we are. Makes people want to shout angrily at each other. Makes people want to physically harm each other. Makes people want to go to war and kill each other. All just because we are seeing things from very different perspectives.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">As we choose to create our reality, consciously choose, it is best to sprinkle it liberally with <i>allowing</i>. Allow others to be who they are. Not who you wish them to be. Not who you think they should be. Who they are. Allow yourself to be who you are, not who you think others want you to be, not some negative version of what those friends and family and perfect strangers have suggested you might be, but WHO YOU ARE. Don’t like who you think you are? Change it! For goodness sakes, change those things you don’t like about yourself. There is nothing about you that you are destined to be. There is nothing you can’t change and improve upon if you wish to. You get to choose. Pretty powerful wouldn’t you say? We get to choose.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">When you are in emotional and physical distress I would like to suggest that you use some simple techniques that might be very beneficial to you. Yogic breathing. Or belly breathing as it is often called. It is very simple. It is very effective. Anyone can do it.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Take a deep breath and through your open mouth expel it with some force. Be aware of your body. As you expel this deep breath relax your shoulders, let them droop. Next take in a long slow deep breath and then slowly exhale. If you raised your shoulders or your chest while taking in this breath you will need to pay attention and practice breathing from deep in your lungs. When you take in a long, slow deep breath push your belly out, your belly should expand outwards. Might take you a few times to do this, but soon it will become second nature. When you exhale your stomach should push inward towards your spine.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left"><span style="text-align: center; display: block;"><object height="350" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/a41PjF6czRU"><param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/a41PjF6czRU&amp;rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" height="350" width="425"></embed></object></span>.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">Now that you have the idea of this, take in a set of three long, slow deep breaths, filling your lungs as completely as you are able. Breathe in to a count of 7. Hold that breath for a count of 7 (or as close to it as you are able) then release the breath to a count of 7 or more. Do this three times or sets. Concentrate only on what you are doing while breathing. Push the belly out on the in breath, suck the belly in on the out breath. Holding and counting. Focus on these things.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">You and your body and your emotions should be feeling a much greater calm, a bit of relaxation and general well being. You can do as many sets of 3 as you feel comfortable with. I suggest you always find a minute to do at least one set of 3 when you are stressed and distraught. It is not difficult. It doesn’t take a long time. It works wonders.</div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" align="left">.</div> <div align="left"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Give it a try.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Hugs</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Shirl</span><b><b><br /></b></b></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-5724119830086818219?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-84353040526587411722008-03-25T14:38:00.004-06:002008-03-25T14:45:26.308-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/R-ljW8sZQPI/AAAAAAAAAEM/ti-gt4ZdzSk/s1600-h/AlecGabbitas_bnnr.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/R-ljW8sZQPI/AAAAAAAAAEM/ti-gt4ZdzSk/s320/AlecGabbitas_bnnr.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181782092167069938" border="0" /></a><br /><span><span><span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-family:Arial;font-size:85%;" ><span style="font-size:100%;"><strong style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"><em><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">With Fervour and Goodly Intent ! <br />March 23.2008<br /><br /></span></em></strong></span> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:180%;"><strong><em>What a veritable abundance of incoming energies are we experiencing over these days of multi faceted inputs which are both extra-ordinary and exceptionally variable in their content and overall effect upon all of us, and beloved Mother Earth.

It is in within the stillness that you will find the bioluminescent that you need to become. The Light within the cell structure of your being shifts in luminance as a deep-water fish. Visualize your DNA becoming bio- luminescent, glowing in the liquid center of your cells, ebbing and flowing.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">The light that you so seek has become activated. You have cleared the debris from the landing field of your soul and self. You have announced to all the molecular content of your being will be light. You have come into the center of the Universe that you represent. Slipping through the shackles that you have worn as adornments.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We are the Council of She. We come from the past and the present simultaneously. We sit at the intersection of time awaiting a doorway to remind you that within you is both she and he, the God and the Goddess. When the goddess (God in Us) is activated it has no gender, no specifications. The doorways of the past now shut very quickly. You look back (hoping not to turn to salt) to find who your were but all has been shifted the landscape has been cleared showing a new shoreline.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">When You came to earth you told the universe that you were capable, and not to worry you would get the job done. Being earthen a great denseness befell you. Your light shifted and your contracts became a burden. In that burden, you lost your lust. You lost your passion. You lost your drive. You find that very little of earth fulfils you. You want to be happy in your light work. You want to be happy in your healing work. You want to be happy in your life, but you have lost the pizzazz. You have lost your passion. These contracts and burdens that you carry upon your shoulders are like honey buckets from an oriental lifetime filled with what needs to be disposed.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">You try to birth yourself anew everyday yet no one applauds your cosmic completions, your human revelations, and your accomplishments. Where is the applause? Where is the acknowledgement your soul seeks? A Great Depression has befallen the human race, a planetary sadness a giving up before the tides turn. This energy comes from a DNA remembrance of a time that is aligned with the three falls of Atlantis. A time when you tried so hard to lift the world, to lift the light, to lift others to a point of safety, and you did not succeed. Lifetime after lifetime, existence after existence you have given yourself 100% and you have not seen the completion of the contract.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">We the Council of She ask you to take it to the limit one more time. We send you comets asteroids solar flares and energies from newly birthed stars. We sent you postcards from Sirius, from the Pleiades, from Arcturus and Andromeda. We send you etchings from the green grass and signature songs from the birds. We do it all for you. To keep you from giving up, for you are the hope of the planet. You are the ones who have never given up, even though they wanted to. In this lifetime you come to clear on a cellular level the three falls of Atlantis. Not only earth Atlantis, but the destruction of the star Atlantis and the energies that befell it.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">You are going to find that the God that you have worshiped, the God that you have bowed down to, the God that you have prayed to is but a sectional God. You have seen known and experienced but one slice of that pie of light. We ask you to be the captains of your ship, the master of your soul. You are not intended to go down with the sinking ship in this incarnation. This is the one time and the one place that you have awaited. The universe is about to unzip its limitations and open up for you to see exactly what needs to be birthed. The vibrations that come to you already cause confusion within the brain. There is so many levels of communication that you are hearing, on so many levels of light, you are seeing, on so many levels of heart, you are experiencing, so many levels of dark that you are vanquishing all in the same breathe, in the same day, in the same thought.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">Each singularity that you are is divided into millions of components. That is approximately how many components you have within each thought. Each one of your thoughts is touching everything. Everything through your past, everything through your blood and your family history, everything through the stars, everything through the universe and all time all space and all dimensions. You are the place that life intersects life.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-family:Arial;">If you could see the fabric of light that you come forth from, if you could know the history around each of you, you would understand that there is no failings, there is no shortcomings. Always you have lasted until the last minute and never have you given up even when the universe did not show itself to you, even when your people were not saved, even when you could not heal your tribe, even when disaster happened. You believed.<br /><br /></span></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">We know that you have many disappointments and angers at the Creator. We know that sometimes you feel your prayers have not been answered. We know that you feel as though you have been discarded and deserted, but that cannot happen. You know that you are never alone. We ask you to take it to the limit one more time for all that you have ever believed in and everything that you could not prove. We are the Council of SHE. We are contained within you, as you are contained within us. We are an ocean and you are the streams and the creeks and the rivers and the ponds that we open our arms and our hearts to. We ask you whenever you get tired and you want to quit earth, just think for a moment upon creation and see it as an ocean and dive into it. Just for a little while, lose yourself, come home.

In every direction I can see into eternity and beyond. The clouds sweep softly against the stunning blue cheeks of the sky. The wind kisses my face with a thousand, thousand touches of angel lips. My feet lift gently up off of the mother earth and I stand on the unseen rock of All That Is, mid air, wrapped in light, infused with love.<br /><br /></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">My hair blows back away from my face as the wind becomes the very breath of me. My arms are thrown wide open to encompass all of creation from the endless reservoir that it is. Here above the mountain top, here aloft in the winds of change I stand to gather up all that is good and all that is love from this place called earth.<br /><br />The wind blows through me as if I am a multi-portaled bit of porous cloth. It begins then as the acts of kindness and love of every moment, of every being everywhere, as they are gently gathered up and brought into the circle of my arms and circulated throughout the vessel that I AM in waves of overwhelming love. Small, tender, untold acts of child to elder, elder to child, stranger to stranger, family to family, friend to friend, and friend to foe. So many unknown actions except to the few, acts that have made all the difference in another's life, that have lifted the burdens for a brief moment, that have turned whole lives around, that have made one very small ripple in a life troubled by a multitude of pains.<br /><br /></div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">No earthly vessel can hold this love, this magnitude of amazing love, from each human on this planet.

I Am everyone in this moment. Love disassembles me into a million million molecules that scatter from atop the mountain to every spot within creation and beyond into every space within the stars and planets and galaxies and beyond. . . .indeed, I am become the "dust" of love scattered everywhere. . .beyond. . . and beyond, beyond. In between the molecules you will find me and you will remember the greater purpose and the smaller purposes of why I came. And I will leave with you this love gathered up, infused and dispersed back out into the timeless, immeasurable aeons. And you will know. Beyond any doubts, ever, you will know.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">~ All that I AM ~ All That IS ~ is within YOU ~ Shirl</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;">Art by artist Rassouli at <a href="http://www.fassouli.com/">www.rassouli.com</a></span><br /></span></div> <div> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-112467962347590863?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1155174420718760592007-09-22T11:11:00.000-06:002007-10-25T22:55:40.304-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/1600/HC_AngelOfNature.gif.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/320/HC_AngelOfNature.gif.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I AM WORTH IT, AND SO ARE YOU!</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> a biographical sketch</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >Some have requested some biographical information about me and my journey. At another site I participate in, it was suggested that we share our spiritual journeys with them. In that suggestion was the question of what were the turning points in our lives. I started there.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >As I thought about turning points, I started to laugh.

Sat down quickly and hid my face in my mother's arms. Seven year old me knew something. (The job was to become the very best version of me I am able, and laugh while I do it.)<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >As a teenager, about 15, I decided that formalized prayers didn't make any sense to me, so I began just having conversations with God, unloading all the things I didn't understand or know what to do with. I talked to God just like I would talk to you, no "thees" and "thous" there. I didn't really have any expectation or thought that God would actually talk to me, but sometimes I would get a wonderful warm and peaceful feeling in my heart and it seemed like that was God telling me that He/she understood and was with me. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >My spiritual journey has looked just like my life journey, and I don't think there is any difference in the two because what else am I but a spiritual being? I have been willful, stubborn, unyielding, bumbling, hard-headed, rebellious, and sometimes so outright obtuse it is hard to fathom. So you can see I had all of the stuff of a great adventurous life and journey of spirit to work with. (Big Smiles!)<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >My strong draw to things of spirit drew me to many things, most particularly a lifelong study of religions and spiritual philosophies and concepts. It drew me to the depths of despair at times and to the heights of bliss at others. It drew me to study for the Christian Ministry, and to help establish an ecumenical Christian church that I loved, and then had to leave it. It drew me to incredible heartbreak and amazing grace to be found in the High Desert Mountains of Southern Utah, living in a tent for 4 months and having one continuous, nonstop conversation with God, the angels, and the Universe. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >THIS WAS A BIG TURNING POINT</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >. In those beautiful mountains ( at 9,000 ft elevation) God, the angels and the Universe engaged me in conversation. I was probably taking up so much Bandwidth (computer humor here) they figured it would be best to respond in a voice or with a voice I could hear within. What I learned, and what I understood of what I learned guided me, informed me, lifted me up, healed me, and surrounded me in joy and peace. This conversation continued the entire 4 months and right on through my bumpy life. . . although I wasn't all that thrilled with the idea of "them" kicking me off my mountain. Who knows how long I might have stayed there, it was heavenly!<br /><br />They let me know that although sitting on the mountain top might be my idea of a wonderful life, the growth of a being, the growth of a spirit is to be found in living the elements of my truth and doing it while interacting with the rest of the people of this planet every day. I was 33 years old and it was 1974. I had not courage enough to tell but a few others of my experiences or what I understood and learned from them, there were plenty of folks who thought I was crazy already just for living in a tent in the mountains. I had all the excuses not to talk about these experiences. And you better believe I used them liberally.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >At that time in my life I was still thinking, as so many of us do, that there was some sort of division between day to day life and a spiritual life. No one could accuse me of being quick to get the real concept. That didn't slap me in the head until my late 40's when a friend, who claimed, then and now , she is not very into this spiritual stuff, loaned me a book to read. </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >HUGE TURNING POINT! </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >My what a perfect "accidental" event that was! It was a beautiful book by a Native American Woman that punched me in the heart, shook me awake, and brought me to tears by page 3. It was monumental in my life. I finally got it. All of life is spiritual! I finally got it. I am not my body! I finally got it. God/Great Spirit/Creator/Source (you choose) LOVES ME!!! I finally got it. I was not expected to be perfect, I was already perfect in the eyes of the Creator. Yes, I finally got it. . .or Knew it in my </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" id="misp_0_1" class="hm" >Knower</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > as I like to say.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >That book led me to an unquenchable hunger to learn more and more and more. I read book after book, hundreds of books over the next nearly 15 years. I lived it, breathed it, it was more important than food or air to me. Nothing else mattered. Nothing at all. I was determined to introduce myself to every book intuition led me to and to apply the knowledge that I was acquiring to my thoughts and actions. I read everything from the most Ancient of texts to the latest Channeling and "New Age" concepts. Sometimes I was really good at it. . . sometimes it just seemed I was no good at it at all. I ran, I jumped, I fell down, I tripped, I stumbled, I sometimes found myself face down on the floor sobbing and asking someone "Up There" to help me get up and to find a way to do this transformation. No matter how many times I fell, stumbled, tripped or ended up on my face on the floor, I always got up and kept on doing my best, which at times looked pretty pathetic. All through this time, I continued my conversations with Creator and the angelic entities. We were long time buddies by now. They began to speak louder and more clearly and I just figured it was the most natural thing there could be.<br /><br />But then I let doubts and other people's opinions and questions get me distracted. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >Yeah, so why </span><span style="text-decoration: underline; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >would</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > angels or Creator or an ascended Master be talking to me, eh? Some people were really quite pleased to point out to me that of ALL the people this could happen to, I was a pretty unlikely candidate (1992). I have always said I am the Least Likely Suspect. Being very human in my humanness, having made enough mistakes (opportunities) for a dozen people let alone just one rebellious, adventurous, irreverent, and downright not very perfect person like me. . .it made me wonder. Why indeed? So, in my childlike way I asked "them". . .Why would beings like you be talking to the likes of me, really, I can think of a hundred more "God-like" or spiritual people than I will ever be just off the top of my head. Why me? The reply was quick, it was unmistakable:<br /></span><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">"Why not YOU? And if you didn't want to have us interact and talk with you, why have you spent so many, many years talking to us and asking us for help and understanding? All of you are "God-like", you are from your Creator, you are literally a piece of your Creator. . .do you think that God sees you as anything less than a perfect creation? And do you think you are less worthy than the angels? All are worthy. We talk to you because you have talked to us, because you seek us, and you allow the communication. There is nothing more to it than that. Everyone has the ability. We wish everyone would use it. Maybe YOU will encourage them to." </span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > </span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >I got it. I still get it.</span><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >The last turning point I will speak of now was the year 2000. In February of that year, my 95 year old mother transitioned to the angels side of the veil. Two weeks later my live in partner of 8+ years went on a trip to visit family in upstate New York and never returned. Also never told me why or resolved anything for me at all. I was going to turn 60 that Fall. I was trying my best to stay at my job 2 more years so I could retire. I had very bad arthritis in both knees and the cartilage of both knees was gone. I was in unrelenting physical pain. Dr's said knee replacement was the answer, I said no. We add to that what I had thought was my perfect partner relationship dissolved suddenly and without notice or explanation, I was in unrelenting emotional pain. I was in financial pain. I was a mess. And I was angry!!<br /><br />Now, you want a sample of what a fine advanced spiritual being I was at that time! I started yelling out loud as I limped through my empty house at night when I was in so much physical discomfort I could not sleep more than an hour at a time. The pain was incredible (magnified, of course by my emotional pain). I yelled at the angels, I called them out by name, every Archangel known to man and a few most don't know of, and I yelled with tears streaming down my face:<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">"This is a fine payback for me devoting every living breathing available moment for these past 15 years to the study and practice of spiritual truths! This is what I get? How can YOU do this to me? I have done the best I can, I have learned, I have grown I have been focused, sincere and dedicated. This is what I get?"<br /><br /></span>We can replay these scenes over and over again because they went on regularly, night after night. (And I won't tell you all the names I called them). Finally, after six months (I told you I was stubborn) I was exhausted. I knew I had to do something. So I did. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" ><br /><br />I signed up for a Workshop. <a href="http://http//www.ronnastar.com/">Ronna Herman's</a> "I AM Mastery" course. I took money I couldn't spare and I bought a plane ticket to Reno, paid for the course and I spent 4 days in this intensely focused training. (There are many reasons I chose this one, you or anyone else might find as much or more help and encouragement in some other or on your own). </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >LIFE CHANGING ~ BIG TIME LIFE CHANGING.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >Since that course 6 years ago, </span><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >everything in my life has changed</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > (even changed more than all the other times everything in my life changed). It was a time and place of Miracles. The 4 days I was there I was pain free, believe me that was a Miracle! I had an immediate connection to Ronna Herman, and two of the other students there were definite Soul Family members, we knew each other immediately.<br /><br />As Ronna brought us messages (channels) from the energy being we know as Archangel Michael, He spoke in words and phrases that are not commonly used, words and phrases I had heard privately for several years now. I was embarrassed that He was talking directly to me, but goodness knows, no one needed it more than I did. There was no doubt in my mind that was the case. We were all in tears.

It is a lovely story of a man who found his path along his journey. I enjoyed it and while enjoying it revealed to myself some of my prejudices. Still holding on to some of my resistance of anything that has the appearance of "religion" or structured belief. That is so old and so not pertinent to anything of spirit. Perhaps it is just so that I have held on to aspects of this for many lifetimes. From another perspective, this watching of the film is a continuation of things in my awareness of late. Seeing that all who seek spirit, who seek the validity of who they are in highest truth have process that is very similar. That seeing for me is comfort and validation that although we may have come to it in a different way, through a different process, that in some things, some areas, we have exceeded our most extravagant expectations. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" ><br /><br />It keeps being shown to me these past weeks that we have extraordinarily succeeded in our quest, in our seeking. I say this with no thought of ego nor praise that we have accomplished more than others or that we have done anything that all cannot do as they choose it, or have done and continue to do. It appears to be merely a recognition of what IS. It is the filling up of ultimate self-love. The love of self that is the love of all. Being filled with pure love of self is that which expands us to pour it out on all those around us, to all.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" >As we perceive that we are unfinished masterpieces of creation, as we are sometimes acutely aware of those aspects of self that seem less than we hoped they would be, as we sometimes take note of our "faults" this self love brings forth in us the knowledge that we are divinely perfect now, just as we are. There is nothing to chastise ourselves for, only to encourage ourselves into a place of greater grace and perfecting of all that we are becoming. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" ><br /><br />What this stirs in me is amazing and overwhelming gratitude for the journey, for the discovery for all that is as it unfolds before me. This type of gratitude only comes from a place of pure love. And pure love only brings forth greater amounts of gratitude. </span><script><!-- D(["mb","\u003cbr\>\u003cbr\>My entire lifetime this time has re-written itself from a perspective of my deep abiding gratitude for all of it just as I perceived it in my experience. . .and the breathtaking change of my perspective of what it all meant and how it directed my choices and experiences.  It has all been masterful in its teaching me and guiding me towards this place of knowing.\n\u003cbr\>\u003cbr\>In my close association with your hearts and beingness, I know your place of IS in this now is similar and expansive and inclusive.  Always I love to hear your stories of how it is with you.  If you care to share them with me, I am here.\n\u003cbr\>\u003cbr\>Blessings and love\u003cbr\>Hugs\u003cbr\>Shirl\u003cbr\>\u003cbr\>Ram Daas, books &quot;Be Here, Now&quot; and &quot;Still Here&quot;\u003cbr\>Netflix film:  Fierce Grace\u003cbr\>\n",0] ); //--></script> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" ><br /><br /><br />My entire lifetime this time has re-written itself from a perspective of my deep abiding gratitude for all of it just as I perceived it in my experience. . .and the breathtaking change of my perspective of what it all meant and how it directed my choices and experiences.

Effortless. Today's soaring was filled with a bit of quiet and wonder-amassed gentleness. Swooshing and lifting within the music of the spheres. As I dipped one arm or wing or sail as perceived, and circled slowly and luxuriously into the depths of an inviting energy, I was caught up quite fully and irresistibly into a whirlpool of LOVE-LIGHT. As these things are, the whirlpool here is an upward spiral, drawing up rather than pulling down. I became a stillness in the ocean of color, sound and light that held me aloft. Suspended in Love. Suspended. All things within their realm expanding and showing forth amazing beauty.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />As it does, my heart-soul center swelled and was filled beyond capacity with the flowing abundance of its inpouring. As it does, it spilled out and overflowed into the everywhere, splashing and showering onto and into the everyone. The love tears made wonderful streams and waterfalls as they traced their paths down my cheeks. Again, I thrust my arms wide open as far as they could go in order to allow it all in and to bless the overflowing cycle out to every other pilot and passenger aloft and about and beyond, especially those who haven't yet thought that they would fly.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Beyond language are my thoughts and words to you. . .Dance in the waterfall of Love that is pouring out to you and you will see, hear, touch, taste, feel it as I do. . .</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Know that in your stunning beauty of soul/spirit/heart, you leave me filled with the blessing of you.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Namaste`</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />Shirl </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-115528596146023524?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-24377484315808817732007-07-21T14:15:00.000-06:002007-07-21T14:26:32.744-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RqJqFt2yvEI/AAAAAAAAABk/O5MQpKQ1pvg/s1600-h/NealeDW.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RqJqFt2yvEI/AAAAAAAAABk/O5MQpKQ1pvg/s320/NealeDW.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5089747175323384898" border="0" /></a> Neale Donald Walsch<br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Something for your consideration</span> <br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Finding Joy in Life -</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It's not about meeting the needs of your body...</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />========================================</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">If you believe that life has anything to do -- anything at all -- with the needs or goals or accomplishments of your body, then you haven't understood anything at all about the purpose of your existence, about the reason you, a spiritual being, chose to travel through time and space with your body and dwell in the realm of physicality.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You must understand who you really are before you can begin to understand life -- or even tolerate it.<br /><br />Only when you know your true identity, and your true purpose for being here, can anything that's happening around you even begin to make sense. In the absence of this clarity, life as it is lived on the planet Earth will become totally unacceptable to do. It will make no sense at all. And you will want to reject it, to run from it, to hide from it, to pretend you have nothing to do with it, and ultimately, to abandon it.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It will all seem so pointless to you. It will all seem to have no reason or purpose whatsoever, but to simply be a tangled mess of no-fun alternatives and joyless experiences and frustrating choices and impossible challenges, and you will say to yourself more than once, "what's the point?"</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">In these moments of deep questioning you may find yourself in such a negative place that you will even snort out the defiant lie: "I'd rather be dead."</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Only in the presence of Awareness can the primitive existence that we are all living in this barbarian civilization begin to have any meaning, to hold any promise, to provide any comfort in a way that makes sense to our soul.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">So here is the truth, here is what you need to know to make some sense of it: You are not your body. Your body is something you have, it is not something you are.<br /><br />The "You" that you are, is non-physical. You are a package of energy, a singular unit of the Essential Essence of all of life. You are an expression of all and everything that life is. In spiritual terms it could be said that you are an Individuation of Divinity.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You are a Spirit. You live in two realms: the Realm of the Spiritual and the Realm of the Physical. You move between realms eternally in a process called Evolution.<br /><br />You experience life in the Realm of the Spiritual in order to know your Self, and you experience life in the Realm of the Physical in order to Experience your Self. The back-and-forth movement of your soul between realms is a journey from Knowing to Experiencing and back again.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">So far this is all pretty straightforward.<br /><br />Now here comes the twist. In order to Experience your Self you must forget some of what you know about your Self. This is because if you remembered all of it, there would be no way to re-create the Experience of it. And it is the Experience of your True Self which your soul desires.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I will explain in my next commentary why forgetfulness is necessary. For now, take my word for it that it is.<br /><br />Digest this feast little by little. What we have here is a meal for the Mind, nourishing your understanding. Do not try to gulp it down all at once. Do not gobble it up. Savor it, morsel by morsel. Taste its delicious flavor delicately, bite by bite. For now, allow yourself to just accept the fact that a certain kind of "selective amnesia" is part of the Process of Evolution.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">What is important for you to know, what is vital for you to understand in the early going as you explore your Reason for existing and the Reality of all of life, is that there is a much larger agenda being served here than what may be immediately apparent. That agenda has nothing to do with the desires of your body, although your body may, and will, be used in advancing that agenda.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The agenda you are serving is the agenda of your soul. This does not mean that you can have nothing to do with the desires and the joys of physical life. Indeed, it is just the opposite. It is through experiencing the desires and the joys of physical life that the agenda of your spirit is served. Yet you cannot begin to know the joys of physical life until you stop chasing after them as if they were the Prime Agenda, the Prime Purpose, the Prime Goal.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Because most people have not given up the chase, most people have given up the joys. They're resigned now to settling for simple satisfactions. They want only an end to the fear, to the struggle, to the frustration of daily existence. They seek a modicum of security and just the smallest portion of what they see that the most fortunate have. They have become bitter and angry as a result of their inability to achieve even these minimal life goals. They have joined the Great Mass of the Disaffected. They are facing, each day, a life of small sufferings (or in some cases, very large ones), and they scrape and scratch for a tiny moment of happiness here or there.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">This is the way it is for many people on this planet. In fact, most. Believe me, I am not exaggerating here. This is the way it is.<br /><br />Perhaps you have experienced life in this way yourself. Perhaps you are experiencing life in this way right now. The above description may feel a little exaggerated to you, but, by and large, it may not be so far off from your own moment-to-moment journey. And if this is not the way life is for you now, I'd venture to say that, at the very least, you know someone in your immediate circle of acquaintances who fits this description perfectly.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I don't mean this to be a "downer." I'm not trying to throw tons of negative energy around here. In fact, just the opposite. I am bringing all of this up here because I want to make a larger point: Life need not be this way. Life was not intended to be this way. The reason life is this way for so many people is that there is among so many people a huge misunderstanding about the nature and function and the purpose of life itself, and who they are in relationship to that.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />The good news is that there is a formula that human beings can use that can and will turn their experience around. And the beginning of that formula is about coming to a place of great clarity that life has nothing to do with the body. Life has to do with the Spirit.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">That is the understanding for today. Let that be Today's Reminder.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Nothing more needs to be said now. That is enough. That is a lot. It is a great deal to absorb and to embrace and to digest. So grab onto that knowledge and hold tight to that wisdom as you move through this day.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />Stop -- this very day, stop -- the incessant voice inside your head that complains about the experiences your body is not having, the pleasures your body is not enjoying, or the security your body is not feeling. And stop, as well, the endless activity of your mind, wishing for acknowledgment, that others may know who you are and how special you are and how wonderful you are and how good you are at what you do.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You will have all of this. I tell you that before this lifetime is over, every one of your wishes about this will come true. And it will mean nothing to you.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />Then you will realize that you have been reaching for the wrong thing. Then you will understand...then, in that moment...you will know that you came here to begin with to serve the agenda of your Soul, not the agenda of your Mind or Body.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I know that all of this may seem empty to you right now -- especially if you are young. Who wants to wait for all the wisdom of life to befall you? Who wants to wait for all the wishes of youth to be granted? Who wants to go through everything that it seems we have to go through in order to achieve what the Spirit is choosing to accomplish?</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Yes, yes, it takes great patience, it takes a great willingness to surrender to the process, it takes great faith, especially when you are young. For you have just come into your body, after all, a mere 18 or 25 years ago, and you are just really embarking upon your life, and you understandably want to get on with it, and experience the joy of it.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Well, you can! Yes, you can! Even while you are young!<br /><br />Wisdom does not have to wait until you are very old. It is not the treasure only of the ancient and the aged. True wisdom may be embraced at any age, at any time, in any moment. And with the embracing of such wisdom, joy becomes possible to achieve and to experience -- yes, even in the midst of the frustration and the anger and the sufferings small and large.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">So journey with me to the place within you where wisdom resides, where lasting joy is created, and where the wonder of life may be known as it was always intended to be experienced.<br /><br />Come with me now, and I will show you the place where your heart's desires dwell, where your grandest truth lives, and where is born your most wondrous expression of Self, which can emerge through you, as you, in the most extraordinary and breathtaking way at any moment.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You must believe me when I tell you there is more to life than you now know. I promise you. There is a Reason that conditions are the way they are in the appearance of things, and there is a Reality that stands apart and aside from these conditions. This series of commentaries will deal with the Reason and the Reality.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Someone asked me the other day, "What is Enlightenment?" Enlightenment, I told them, is joy experienced. And it can be experienced, even in the midst of the primitive life that we all live on earth. Indeed, we came to the earth to do so. We have the opportunity, because of this environment, to know and experience the bliss of entering and expressing our True Selves. On the time scale of the Universe, we are here for but a split-second. Yet even in this tiny moment, even in this smallest slice of eternity, we have ample opportunity. Such is the wonder and the glory of life. And such is the generosity and the love of God.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">~ NDW</span> <br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Neale Donald Walsch </span><a href="%28http://www.cwg.org%29">(</a><a href="%28http://www.cwg.org%29">http://www.cwg.org</a><a href="%28http://www.cwg.org%29">)</a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Neale Donald Walsch is the author of the Multi-million best seller "Conversations With God" and many other books.

There have been a number of messages already this month about <strong>"Fire the Grid"</strong> which is to take place at <strong>11.11 GMT on 17th July 2007</strong>. In my own messages the emphasis has been on how important this month is, and reference made to it "being one that will be looked back upon as a major turning point" (Diane 07.02.07). I only had to listen to the first video to know that Shelley Yates is a great soul, who has spent her tragic life for this particular important moment in time. I was absolutely riveted to her message, and every word carried an energy that told me that this dear soul is so honest and loving. She was clearly inspired, and I have not been so excited for a long time at the message she gave. It was dynamic and powerful with a clear instruction as to what each individual can do to "Fire the Grid".</span></div> <div><span style="font-family:Arial;"><br />We are in the time that we can exercise<strong> our own power to determine the future of Mankind</strong>.

color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Come Fly With Me<br />~Shirl<br /><br />It has been a while since I have invited you all to come soaring into the universe with me. . .if you wish to come along now, please do.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">We are just going to the top of that lovely mountain over there. Yes, that beautiful one you see. The purpose of our going there is just to get the grand view of things. And as you envision us there on the mountain top you are aware that it took no effort or skill to get here. There was no climbing or traveling of the physical body necessary to come here. Wonderful how that works, isn't it. Just a delightful pulse of the universe and here we are.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Let me point out some things of interest to you from our higher vantage point. Look first at the blueness of the sky and the wispyness of the white clouds that have no concern how they display themselves in the sky as they move on the currents of wind. There is an energy there in the clouds and the sky, bathed in the brilliance of a sun drenched canvas, breath it in, let it permeate your being fully. And what is it that it feels like to you? And in taking in that feeling are you not aware of your gratitude and appreciation of its beauty and energy? Of course you are. Hold on to and expand that feeling of appreciation. We are going to take it with us.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The mountains fall away to the forests, valleys and lakes. Aren't they magnificent in their beauty. Don't they fill us up with a joy and feeling of appreciation? Then let us expand that feeling again and take it with us.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Even in our cities and crowded places there are many things of beauty to behold. Let us look at them in that way. Let us appreciate the structures and active movements that are contained within our cities. All the things that these concentrations of buildings and peoples afford us and bring to our experience, let us appreciate the best of what they offer.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Look around at the throngs of people. Aren't they amazingly magnificent in their going through of their day to days? There they are, regardless of what their personal circumstance may be, doing their best to live within their space of the life and reality they have created for themselves. The variety and diversity of humans is phenomenal. They bring us so many gifts, even if the gift they bring is showing us what we don't want to experience so we have a more clear and focused picture of what we do wish to experience instead.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Regardless of what perspective we are currently choosing to view things from, we will absolutely see and experience what we focus on. We can look around us and see pain, suffering, anger, deceit, despair,or we can choose to see and focus upon all that is the best presentation of humans. The generosity, the kindness, the helpfulness, the love, the caring, the outstretched hand offered to another, the laughter of children, the joy of accomplishment, the beauty of each and every one, we can choose these things as our focus. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">We will see and experience exactly what we focus on. And when you focus on the inherent goodness and love and beauty you will begin to feel the deep gratitude of that experience.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">So our "flight" today has been about gratitude. About appreciation. Seeing everything around us a gift of great value and import. And at some point, if you choose it, you will be absolutely overwhelmed by your gratitude, just as I am today. Focus on it, it will come.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It is so delicious and so amazing in its filling up of our being, I encourage you to use your gratitude every chance you get. If you look for things to appreciate, you will find them.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am grateful you came along with me today. You restore my faith and trust in all that is around and a part of me.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Blessings and hugs</span><br /><span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Shirl</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-3311118175086354966?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1646048414925366042007-06-23T16:07:00.000-06:002007-06-23T16:08:33.804-06:00<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Kb9Ti71n5s"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Kb9Ti71n5s" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><br /><br />Sometimes music says it better than anything else.<br /><br />Much love and hugs<br />Shirl<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-164604841492536604?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-49683024952046492552007-05-29T12:58:00.000-06:002007-05-29T13:00:17.064-06:00<p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Change.<br />CHANGE.<br /><b>CHANGES.</b></p> <center><br /><img src="http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y32/shirlstars/before_the_storm_800.jpg" alt="Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting" /><br /><br /><br /></center> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">That's the perspective I've been wandering through for a space of time of late. </p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There is some commonly accepted thought that many if not most are very resistant to change. It is an interesting concept, as it suggests that one is or might be resistant to growth. I wonder sometimes why any would be resistant to growth and expansion.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">As short and comparatively small a word as "change" is, it is ultimately powerful. It comes to us in many guises and many differing proportions.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Change can as easily tip-toe in quietly, even unnoticed for a time just as it can come roaring in on a Tsunami strength of overwhelming capacity. It comes to each of us in all the differing ways it is capable of and we either pay attention to it or we choose to ignore it.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I had a thought to compare my reaction to something today to something just a few short weeks or months ago that was very similar in appearance. It was quite stunning for me to recognize the vastness in the difference of my reactions. Very telling it was and very encouraging as well.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It is my perception that everything we do here in this lifetime is about change, is about reaching to become something more than we perceive we are. Perhaps more importantly, about changing our perceptions about the experiences of our lives and how we choose to let them affect us. Where we "stand" at any given moment always colors and affects our view of everything. We can choose to stand at the curbside and forever view things from there, or we can follow a path that leads us to an ever higher, bigger perspective. It is truly our choice of where and how we wish to look at things. And it is never too late to choose.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">For me, change has been the most welcome and exciting part of my life. Oh, and it is certain that some of the changes I chose did not feel so good to me at the time, but every time I reached a "higher viewpoint" it has become clearly obvious how much such experiences helped me grow and move forward. I cannot imagine wanting to choose a life that does not bring forth growth and expansion. I cannot imagine a life without consciously seeking change. It is how I learned to love and above all else, I cannot imagine a life without LOVE.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">How is it with you these days?</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">May it be blessed and love-filled and ringing with laughter!</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Hugs,<br />Shirl</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-4968302495204649255?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-20510154019115792372007-05-28T00:05:00.000-06:002007-05-28T00:06:21.331-06:00<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/I-NRriHlLUk"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/I-NRriHlLUk" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-2051015401911579237?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-13830758148458666232007-04-08T17:52:00.000-06:002007-04-08T17:58:34.476-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RhmBbQx6awI/AAAAAAAAABM/aZ9QGHniyw0/s1600-h/centralparkNewYork.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RhmBbQx6awI/AAAAAAAAABM/aZ9QGHniyw0/s320/centralparkNewYork.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5051210762433489666" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It Was Early Spring. . .</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">~Shirl</span><br /><p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">New York City, the Isle of Manhattan. New York is beautiful in the Spring, trees are blooming, Central Park is amazing with its small rolling hills and ponds and trees, bushes and flowers blooming. There is a promise in the air, something not often felt or even noticed.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">In that Spring of 1964 it was a quiet Sunday morning as I took the bus ride to a part of Manhattan I was unfamiliar with. When I stepped off the bus, there was a building across the street bearing the address I had been given. It was an unremarkable building in the architectural sense, a building maybe only 3 or so stories high in a neighborhood that looked to be mostly residential. I double checked the address with the slip of paper I held in my hand. This was it. I was a little nervous. My 24 year old self here in the BIG city alone, in unfamiliar territory. </p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I checked my watch. I was a bit early. Better to be early than late. I crossed the street, entered the building, walked up a flight of wide entry stairs and into the hall. It was a good sized room, probably could hold a hundred to two hundred folks. It was laid out with rows of folding chairs with a nice wide aisle down the middle. There was a lectern in the front center, facing out to the lines of neatly placed chairs. To the right of the lectern as I looked at it was a piano. Not a beautiful fancy shinning piano, a piano well used with the dings and marks of bumps from many years of use.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There were a few people walking around in the room, busy at some preparatory tasks here and there. There were a small handful scattered about in some of the seats. As I was walking towards a far too large selection of empty chairs, I made a decision of which I would sit in and went directly to it. At that same moment, a young man, maybe in his thirties walked quietly up to the piano, silently moved the seat back to accommodate the length of his legs and began to play. </p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Debussy’s Claire De Lune. A stillness and a silence, save for the beautifully haunting sounds of this music settled in over everyone and everything.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I sat transfixed, enveloped in music so clearly other worldly, so not of this earth, so heavenly that tears formed in my eyes. I certainly had heard Claire De Lune many times, played at Symphonies, in concerts, often by very famous and acclaimed pianists. But I had never heard or felt Claire De Lune played like this before. The music became a living thing that transcended all else in existence.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I don’t know when this extraordinary master of piano ended this piece. I don’t know who he was. I don’t know when the chairs filled up with people. I do not know what was said that Sunday morning in that church service. I do not know if anyone spoke. I don’t remember leaving there or when or how I got back to my place. But in 43 years I have never forgotten that Sunday experience of Claire De Lune. I can hear it yet if I close my eyes and listen. . . .it is forever embedded within the very cells of my body.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Enjoy this day whether you celebrate it in any particular way or not, it is a gift.</p> <p style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I wish you all Claire De Lune today. . . .</p><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKd0VII-l3A"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">Listen Here</span></a><br /><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-1383075814845866623?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-83508287641241639512007-03-03T23:17:00.000-07:002007-03-03T23:25:54.145-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RepmKv5TW0I/AAAAAAAAAA8/vA78hMd3TFI/s1600-h/Abutterfly.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RepmKv5TW0I/AAAAAAAAAA8/vA78hMd3TFI/s320/Abutterfly.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5037951468008856386" border="0" /></a><br /><p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Allow Yourself to Believe</span><br /></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">~by Shirl<br /></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I like the metaphor of the crawdads in the bucket. . .in a bucket full of crawdads if anyone of them is able to climb up and is within striking distance of getting out of the bucket, the rest of the crawdads will pull them back down. </p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The conventional wisdom in our culture is to do everything possible to dissuade someone with dreams of soaring beyond the "ordinary" or "acceptable" by any means possible. Others do not encourage or assist you in your dreams, usually. They want to keep you in the bucket.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">As I see it, most people are so frightened of being "different", so frightened of the thing called "failure," that they sit at the bottom of the mountain and feel helpless, unfulfilled, alone, and disillusioned. Dr Wayne Dyer gives a great illustration about this. Think back to your days as a small child. For most of us, we were encouraged to take our first steps, to form words, to make sentences from words, to try new things. We were constantly told we could do it and supported and endlessly encouraged to do "it." Of course you can learn to ride a bicycle. . .just keep trying. . .etc. Then somewhere about 8,9 or 10 years old there is a sudden and abrupt change. Very suddenly it seems, we are told we cannot reach out for this or that, we musn't have big dreams, we can't do things beyond the ordinary and acceptable. As we grow into our teen years this reinforcement of "can't" becomes stronger and stronger. So we are trained into our belief system of what we can or cannot do.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I think family, friends and the others in our lives mean well. They want to protect us from possible painful experiences. They want us not to be disappointed or to get "hurt." But in truth, that is what experience is about. When we reach out to experience life we then have the opportunity to choose how we will perceive the experiences, and what we will choose to do with the results.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">To really LIVE life, you must participate, and the more whole-heartedly you are willing to participate the greater the experience will be. There is nothing wrong about any of these experiences. We may have hoped for a different outcome, but it is not wrong that we didn't experience it the way we had hoped.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">If we can get ourselves to a place where we let go of our expectations, have no agenda other than to experience the experience and fill it with our intent that it directs us to a higher and better version of self, then we begin to see how life can be a constant joy.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There is also the understanding that it is okay to change your mind. I know I personally got a lot of negative feed back from others when I changed my mind about things. But there is nothing wrong with that. Each person holds what they think is the "right" way to progress through life and many tie themselves securely to the conventional wisdom of the times. It is a very limiting way to live.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Dreams may be small or apparently impossibly large, but nothing is created or manifested in our lives that we don't first hold within our thoughts as potential. So dream, and continue to dream, and intersperse your own wisdom and knowledge within those dreams. </p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Blessings and hugs<br />Shirl </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-8350828764124163951?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-64646750825687748442007-02-17T00:42:00.000-07:002007-02-17T01:08:52.525-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/Rda3jz4L71I/AAAAAAAAAAw/0bVXaCOPRQw/s1600-h/AngelDiane.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/Rda3jz4L71I/AAAAAAAAAAw/0bVXaCOPRQw/s320/AngelDiane.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5032411459482283858" border="0" /></a><br /><p><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">TIMELESS FLIGHT</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">~ Shirl</span><br /></p><p><br /></p><p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There is a line I've drawn, out there in the starry places. It is of variable design and pattern, hardly a straight line from here to anywhere. Most certainly it is not a demarcation of one side or the other of anything. It is what I have called a "time line" of sorts. A place where all times and all things exist simultaneously in their variety of color, themes and light.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I enjoy moving along its length, height and breadth where movement and still shots equally are available in any stage of evolving wonderment.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">There was a purpose more than my child-like enjoyment for this pathway through the stars. I consider myself now as much a map maker as an artist (f drawing lines is art). Surely it is a map if one can consider such things as music, rhythm, sound, color geometries, mathematics and light to be chartable things.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">As to when I have drawn this, it must be said it was in some always space of existing things. For everything is within the always, is it not? It could just as well be said that it may not have been this presentation of me, but rather some other cumulative aspects of a greater version of me that made this graffiti among the stars. None the less, I have felt ownership of its appearance and function just as I have no hesitance to claim myself the creator of these starlines.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">It's purpose? What is it for. . .I can hear you asking. It is a grand place to dance, to imagine oneself a "tight rope" walker, to bounce upon, to dangle from by two fingers, to skate upon as the edges of infinity. It is malleable, flexing hither and yon without discretion or concern. It is a grand place to play.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Within or along or encompassed by this lovely playground is access to every door we have thought closed to us, every place we imagined but thought we could not travel to, every era of every time/space that exists in always, past, present, future. . .it is all there and in far more detail than incarnate minds can comprehend. Past-past, Past-Present, Past-Future, Present-past, Present-present, Present-future, Future-Past, Future-present and Future-future. . .all existing in no ordered progression whatsoever. They do not follow each other marching along orderly in any alphabetized, numbered or otherwise coded system. Any step may be backward-backward or forward-backward. The combinations are endless and always. It is like opening beautifully wrapped presents and becoming that which was hidden within.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">The many presentations of "us" are there as well, the many presentations of all beings are accessible with such ease and pure joy that there seem to be no words for it in our earth language. There are possibilities endless. </p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">When I first became aware that I was traveling here among the stars, it was so beautiful and awesomely encompassing I was willing to give up my presumed need to understand where, what, who, why. BEing here was enough. Indeed it was/is a grander euphoria than any drug excursion I have ever heard of. When I speak of LOVE to you in my many words offered there is no earth concept of it that can begin to express it. That is the drug of here, LOVE. That is the euphoria of here, LOVE. It has a far greater meaning than what we ascribe to it in our physical existence. We haven't invented the words yet that can even scratch the surface of it.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I will tell you why I drew the line, and take that in its multi-layered meaning. I am a most adventurous soul. Even when things are a bit tenuous and confusing, I am willing to take the journey and see what there is to see, experience what there is to experience, feel what there is to feel. Some of you are like that as well. Some are not. Neither way is better than the other, just different. So I drew the line because I intend to be your (and my own)journey guide should you choose to explore the stars and multi-verse and the spaces between the molecules. Not because one is required. Not because you are not equally or more capable of doing it by yourself. Because I want to offer a little surety that all is well on your journey. Because if it becomes too confusing you might feel apprehensive, and there is no need for that. And just because I love your company.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">So when I tell you I am not connecting much to 3D earth just now, this is what I am talking about. Traveling among the stars into always. There is no being or force that is suggesting I must do this. I do it because I love it. I do it because it enhances all the parts of me. I do it because of LOVE. I have chosen it as my way. And there is much more in it for me (and you) than mere star travel or molecule excursions. It is the grandest Library ever imagined. It is more Max than any I-Max ever envisioned, it is more JOY than can be contained and more LOVE than comprehensible. It is All That IS.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">I am holding out my hand to you, inviting you to join me any "time" you wish. If you are somewhat timid or less adventurous, fear not, all is well with your soul. If fear is something you know, you may release it and travel during your sleeping periods and there is no need to be concerned. You choose it. You choose IF, you choose when, you always choose. You will know me by the stardust streaming from my hands and the laughter resonating in my smile.</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Take a hold of my hand. . . . . You're going to LOVE this soul flight. . . Take a slow, deep, breath. . . here we go. . . .</p> <p style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">In love more than I can describe,<br />Shirl</p><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-6464675082568774844?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1953730880220478782006-12-16T12:56:00.000-07:002006-12-16T13:01:16.506-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRQIFtHntI/AAAAAAAAAAY/LnaolDF1otE/s1600-h/DrLisaRandall.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRQIFtHntI/AAAAAAAAAAY/LnaolDF1otE/s320/DrLisaRandall.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009216785443430098" border="0" /></a><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;">What's Happening in Physics</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;">~by Shirl</span><br /><div style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);" class="content"><p>Charlie Rose on his nightly PBS program had Dr Randall as his guest tonight. Needless to say I was wowed, excited and dancing around the living room. I have also ordered her book as described below and can't wait for it to arrive. This unnatural love of physics of mine is pretty hard to explain for one so lacking in math and science skills, but somehow I seem to understand physics concepts easily. This should be an exciting read for me, as I've been well acquainted with the "theory" or knowledge of more dimensions for quite some time now. I just love it when my flights of fancy are caught up to by actual physics and science. . .I'm pretty excited about this stuff. </p> <p><b> </b></p> <blockquote><p><b>"Warped Passages<br />Unraveling the Mysteries of<br />the Universe’s Hidden Dimensions</b><br />~ Dr. Lisa Randall</p> <p>The concept of additional spatial dimensions is as far from intuitive as any idea can be. In this lecture based on her new book, Dr. Randall employs creative analogies to explain how our universe may have many unseen dimensions. Randall works hard to make her astoundingly complex material understandable, providing a great deal of background for recent advances in string and supersymmetry theory. As coauthor of the two most important scientific papers on this topic, she’s ideally suited to explain these ideas. Although physicists do not yet know if there are extra dimensions a fraction of a millimeter in size, dimensions of infinite size, or only the dimensions we see, Randall shows how these theories will be tested in coming years.</p> <p><b>Dr. Randall is a professor of physics at Harvard University and one of the leading theoretical physicists in the world today who works on string theory, particle physics, and cosmology."</b></p></blockquote> <p>What follows is the review by the New Yorker Magazine:</p> <blockquote><p>"From The New Yorker:<br />Randall, a professor of physics at Harvard, offers a tour of current questions in particle physics, string theory, and cosmology, paying particular attention to the thesis that more physical dimensions exist than are usually acknowledged. Writing for a general audience, Randall is patient and kind: she encourages readers to skip around in the text, corrals mathematical equations in an appendix at the back, and starts off each chapter with an allegorical story, in a manner recalling the work of George Gamow. Although the subject itself is intractably difficult to follow, the exuberance of Randall's narration is appealing. She's honest about the limits of the known, and almost revels in the uncertainties that underlie her work—including the possibility that some day it may all be proved wrong.<br />Copyright © 2006 The New Yorker"</p></blockquote> <p>I'll give you all a holler when I've read the book which I am eagerly awaiting from Amazon.</p> </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-195373088022047878?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-75029898890946387282006-12-16T12:26:00.000-07:002006-12-16T13:27:42.629-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRN11tHnsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1Gjfvv9p1kY/s1600-h/Astardancer.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_FX14vQgqRaM/RYRN11tHnsI/AAAAAAAAAAM/1Gjfvv9p1kY/s320/Astardancer.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5009214272887561922" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><span style="font-weight: bold;">Are there Other Dimensions?</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">~by Shirl</span><br /><br />On another site that I participate in, one of the members posed this thought to me and I thought it worth sharing his statement and my response with you. We were discussing the movie, "What The Bleep Do We Know?" If you haven't seen it yet, I would suggest that it is very worth while. It is a very professional and beautiful presentation.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-style: italic;">"The thing that strikes me about dimensions is that I wonder if we aren't actually an instrument(organic) that can also be used to access these thingy's ,whidgits, whatyamacallit levels of inexplicable dimensional beingness."</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />Yes, you could certainly look at it that way. What we are, actually, is an energy consciousness currently focused on what we are doing dressed up in our skin suit. We are no less who and what we are whether we are perceiving ourselves as solid organic 3D beings wrapped in a skin suit, or some other form or seemingly formless presentation.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">One of the analogies that worked most easily for me early on was knowing that we are in a holographic existence. . .thank you Star Trek and others for helping us understand holograms. While we are in the hologram it is the "most real" thing there is to us. We truly are defined by our collection of beliefs at any one time. There is no reality beyond our beliefs. If we can suspend our beliefs and be open to question and discover, it is then that we see more than the obvious. When we allow our beliefs to expand and change, we begin to explore other possibilities, other potentials. That's what the space between the atoms is. . .unlimited potential.<br /><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Because we have been taught and trained to think linearly we believe in things in a linear fashion, ie. . .3D dimension, 4th D, etc., etc. If we accept that there are dimensions beyond 3rd and 4th we often view them in our belief system as somehow being a strata or demarcation of </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">such. In truth, the dimensions are more like softly colored layers of fog, in movement and intermingling in overlay all of the time. There is no requirement to go in step by step fashion from 3 to 4 to 5 to 6, etc. We interact with all manner of dimensions all the time if we allow it into our awareness. So it is not uncommon to be experiencing 3D and then 5D or 12 D, then 7D, or any other so described dimensional expression. </span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">When we have stretched our "presumed" human minds enough, we also understand that there is no need or even necessity to name or number these dimensions as they are intermingled constantly. How we perceive these interactions with other than 3D is by increasing our level and speed of energy vibration, and by allowing our former beliefs to fall away as we are open to the possibilities and potentials.<br /><br />I've shared a few of my other dimensional travels with all of you here. They are as real as anything I do in 3D. (as an example: <a style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);" href="http://mattersofspirit.blogspot.com/2005/10/there-is-nothing-but-love-shirl-very.html"><span style="text-decoration: underline;">There is nothing but love</span></a><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 255);">) </span>There is nothing I yet know of that will "prove" my travels, so I continue to describe the experiences I have, the feeling of them, the essence of them in hopes that it will convey some small part of what it is.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">When we change our belief system and we expand our conscious awareness, we are open to all the potentials and possibilities that exist and will exist.</span> <span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br /><br />It took more than 200 years for the general population of humans to accept that the world was round, not flat. Beliefs are very strong things.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Hugs</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Shirl </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-7502989889094638728?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1165745711688444772006-12-10T03:10:00.000-07:002006-12-10T03:15:11.700-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5789/1060/1600/909600/Awesome.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/x/blogger/5789/1060/320/30108/Awesome.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;">Now and Zen</span><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">by Shirl</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You know those days when you don't think you or what you do in your life matters very much?

font-weight: bold;">~ by Shirl</span><br /><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" class="postbody" >When I returned home from the Life Changing Workshop, everything here that I had left behind for those 4 or 5 wonderful days was still here. Funny how that works. Same crushing debts, same reminders of heart break, same need to go to work everyday regardless of how I felt and the pain in my knees came back with a vengeance.<br /><br />Over the next six months that inner angelic voice coached me, coaxed me, prodded me and pointed me in directions I could not seem to find a path to. But just about every month, I said with wide-eyed wonder, "Wow! I think I am finally getting what this 'Love' thing is all about. And then the next month it would be expanded and even more awesome. Every month a deeper understanding.<br /><br />I kept feeling "pushed" to find or gather together other like minded persons also on their spiritual paths. I tried several means of doing that. Everywhere I looked or attempted, I ran into a brick wall. So when I would feel those "Angelic feet in my back" pushing me towards joining or gathering together such a group, I would just ignore it and say I have tried, there aren't any that I can find around here in small town Idaho, or I just don't know where else to look. (I could tell you how much I didn't like groups and I didn't join or form them, but you probably already have guessed that part.)<br /><br />This went on from October through May of the following year. One day, actually it was May 11th, 2001, I got a huge shove from the angelic realms with this same old, now "tired" exhortation to join or find a group. In my sweet, irritated way I shouted out to them: <span style="font-weight: bold;">"If you want this group so darn bad then YOU bring them to me. I have done all I know to do in order to find them. There are no avenues open to me that I can see. YOU bring them!" </span> I was quite self-satisfied with my answer. Surely now they would leave me alone about this doggone group stuff.<br /><br />May 12th, the next day, I was on the Internet visiting a spiritual message board that I sometimes went to peruse. I hadn't been there in at least 6 months and although I read some of the things posted there by various members, I seldom if ever commented or posted anything myself. On this day, there was a really cute and very humours piece posted about the "Clown Chakra." I smiled a lot. I laughed out loud. I just really enjoyed it. So I immediately sent off a thank you to the person that had posted it and told them they had made my day.<br /><br />Almost instantly an email response came back. Full of information and questions. The person asked me if I was in Idaho, and if so, where in Idaho. At that time I had a local ISP service that ended in "Ida.net" In two days I was switching to Earthlink as an ISP. She would not have thought to ask, perhaps, if I was in Idaho without the Idaho identifier. It seems she was in Blackfoot, a town just 40 miles S of me.<br /><br />I didn't waste the opportunity. I responded with where I was and then asked if it wasn't time we formed a group of like minded people and got to know each other. Several emails, a few phone calls and 2 weeks later, we had our first get together with 4 people. Two weeks later we met again with about 15 people present. For two years we met once or twice a month and shared our varied backgrounds, and many skills and our knowledge with each other. What a blinkin miracle that was!! The timing was just exact, otherwise my now very dear friend Kebbie, would not have asked me if I was from Idaho as there would have been no obvious clues to such. I knew these people in my deepest heart from the moment we met. It was just amazing. And we had all different and very interesting backgrounds and many different skills to share with each other.<br /><br />Within a month, the Archangel Michael was suggesting to me that I could allow his words to come out of my mouth, not just remain inside my head/heart and share them with those gathered at our little meetings. WHAT? WHO? ME? To that point, that was just about the scariest thing I had ever heard. I went to visit 3 of the people I was most closely connected with, feeling certain that they would pat me on the head and tell me with a smile and a chuckle to forget about it, which was very much what I wanted to hear. Kebbie laughed out loud at me! And said of course I should do it. I gave forth all the reasons I thought it was a preposterous idea, but she just laughed harder. I got the same treatment from Rosalie (a very gifted intuitive healer and reader), my how she laughed. In desperation I went to see Eva, a quiet, love filled and very wise one, she laughed too and told me to get over myself, just do it! Certainly not what I was expecting.<br /><br />And so I began channeling or bringing forth messages from Michael and others in the angelic realms every month at our meetings. I think we may have already established that I am stubborn to a serious fault and can find the most difficult ways to do the most simple things. Rebellious to be sure. Michael is more diplomatic, he says I am "Not exactly a compliant one," and I think he enjoys his laugh at me a bit too much.<br /><br />The week before each meeting, I would start worrying about the message. I thought the very least it would be helpful if I had some idea what it would be about. I would get nervous, doubtful of my place in this, why, what if no Angelic Being showed up to bring a message, then what? I made myself a wreck. By the day of the meeting I would spend most of the day in "meditative" conversation and association with the "higher realm" beings and ask for courage and help to be as clear a transmitter of any messages as I was able to be. In the evening, about an hour before we were to meet, I would have a wonderful peaceful calm descend on me and I would quite happily go about the great fun we had at those meetings and then bring forth whatever message there might be from whatever being wished to bring it to us. Most usually it was Michael.<br /><br />In a few days I would be sure that I was somehow a fraud and if those messages were coming from Michael or others, what if I was coloring them or somehow messing them up. So I would listen to the tapes we made of the messages as I transcribed them to put on the Web Site we had. Listening was always stunning! I could feel the Angelic energy, I could feel the energy of Michael, I knew these were not my words. For a week or so, I would know, I would have not doubts. Then I re-enacted this scene all over again every month for several months. What I put myself through was ridiculous, and just plain silly. I finally let go of it, but not without a struggle.<br /><br />What finally got through to me? these words: " It is NOT about you, dear one. It is about the message. It is not about you." The understanding of that was very deep. I finally got it. IT WAS NOT ABOUT ME! All or any who might hear or see the messages would use their own discernment to feel and know what was truth for them. They would feel the energies for themselves. They would decide what role or importance it may have in their lives or not. It was not about me.<br /><br />There were many miraculous things that occurred over these months. As I said before, somewhere, I look for the miracles everywhere, in everything and it is no surprise then that I find them. I expect them. Michael asked us to fully open our hearts up to everyone. Holy Cow! Never saw so many scared people in my life. What? Whoa. . .that seemed impossible and I was one that had my doubts. You mean tear down all those walls that I have spent a lifetime building and reinforcing, you mean just open up my heart to everyone? Yikes! But after the miracle of bringing this group together in the first place, I made a promise to align my will with the will of the Creator and the divine plan. I promised to do and be whatever would most serve the highest and best purposes of all. So I had to tear down those walls and open up my frightened and bruised heart to everyone. I had to, I had given my word, my promise. So I did! Another beautiful miracle!<br /><br />Unless and until you do it yourself, you will never know what a magnificent blessing it is to you and your life. Living with a fully open heart, allowing everyone in without exception and with out expectations. . .amazing thing that is. You are the one that grows and expands and finds the most exquisite joy there is to be had. You become so full of it that it pours out of you in ever greater abundance to everyone else. Truly amazing! I have no doubt many if not all of you here know exactly what I am talking about.<br /><br />The meetings began in June, 2001. Miracles were everywhere. We loved, encouraged and supported each other like nothing any of us had ever experienced before. Awesome stuff! Michael had encouraged me to take a dozen roses to each meeting, and we had the meeting at different homes each month, most everyone took a turn. In December, Michael suggested I take pine boughs and White Roses. I agreed, but when I got to the store where I usually bought the roses, they had only one dozen White roses, and they were turning brown, petals curling, on their "last leg" you might say. So I stood in front of the cooler where the roses were asking why I couldn't take the beautiful Pink ones or the deep Red ones that were perfect? Now, I did have some thought as to what I might look like standing there by myself muttering quietly, arguing with the Archangel that the White ones were just awful but the others were beautiful. . .if anyone noticed, they were kind enough to ignore me, but it makes me laugh now to think what It must have looked like. I took the White ones and I didn't even get a discount on them. . .hmmmmm.<br /><br />When I arrived at the home we were meeting in, I embarrassedly took the roses in and apologized for their condition, but placed the blame squarely on Michael, after all, HE insisted. The hostess just smiled and didn't seem to mind as she put them in a vase with water. In the 12 or 14 steps that it took from the kitchen to the living room, less than 30 seconds, something quite miraculous happened. Those brown crispy curling edged roses, those sickly straggling looking roses turned the most amazingly beautiful White I have ever seen. I was speechless. There was not one crisp brown edge on any rose, there was no drooping, faded rose in the lot of them. Twelve exquisite and perfectly perfect beautiful beyond description White, White, White roses. It still brings tears to my eyes to tell the story.<br /><br />Two weeks later at the New years eve meeting 7 or 8 of us decided to have, the miracles continued. Since my knees had become so bad and not very functional 2 years prior, I never got down on the floor, because if I did, I knew I could not get up, even with two people helping me it was very difficult. That night, however, after a message from Michael, we were all very much in the spirit and one of the group, Kristin, was anointing our feet with oil. It was something she felt directed to do. Then as Kebbie was doing some Bowen Therapy energy healing on Kris, I got down on the floor without a thought and anointed her feet. When I was through, I got right up and walked across the room, almost to my chair when Kebbie and Kris both said, "Wait a minute. How did you do that?" It was as if all three of us became aware at the same instant that something had happened here. Not only did I easily get up off the floor by myself, I was in no pain and I was walking, not limping on the way to my chair. Wow!<br /><br />Six months later, in June 2002 I was on a six mile trail hike in the Tetons with a soul-family group. Me! Me who had barely been able to walk. Me who even though limping along had been in unbearable pain several months prior. Prior to this New Years eve miracle I spoke of, I want you to know that at least 6 of the Reiki Masters in our group had done work on me and my knees over the months we had been meeting. At least two of the group had done Theta Level Energy Healing on my knees, and I had practiced in Theata healing to grow etheric cartilage to replace the missing physical. Little by little over the months there had been the lessening of pain and a bit more mobility. But what happened on New Years eve was dramatic and complete and long lasting, to this day.<br /><br />During 2001, other friends would ask me why I wouldn't have the knee replacement surgery. I told them it wasn't necessary. My little "angel" group was going to facilitate the healing. My friends scoffed in disbelief, trying not to laugh too hard. Most said something about me being the most stubborn person they knew. They don't laugh now. At Theta level I can look down into my body and see the etheric "shock absorbers" that are in place where the cartilage would be if I had any. I smile. I am forever grateful. I am still the most blessed being in the Universe.<br /><br />I could tell you endless miracle stories, but they will all or as many as I can put there, be in the book.<br /><br />Our group met for two years until it was time for us each to expand out into greater realms of influence. We get together a few times a year or so and have a great party and wonderful spiritual family time together. We each have gone in our own direction as guided by our inner guidance and become the best version of ourselves we are able as we share our love, understanding and knowledge with those who wish to know, or care to ask.<br /><br />I have intention to HUG every being on the planet. I am hard at it! What a great way to live. <span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span><a href="http://www.villageblue.com/" target="_blank" class="postlink"></a>I am writing a book, and maybe I am writing two books. . .but the one I know for sure is, "Skating on the Edge of Infinity." Hope to finish it this year.<br /><br />There is a lot more to the story, of course, but I have inundated you with enough of it.<br /><br />For those who wanted to know why my partner of 8 years left without a word or explanation, here it is. I don't know in the 3D reality sense. I have never been given a truthful answer, plenty of sort of excuses, but no real answer. I have long ago forgiven and let go of it and have a "higher" understanding of it now.<br /><br />Archangel Michael gave me the answer. And a more true answer there has never been. I would not have done the things that I have done since then. I would not have gone to the intensive training workshop, I would not have stepped out and stepped up to be in front of groups of people doing anything let alone allowing Angelic Messages to come forth through me and out of my mouth or off the fingertips of my hands, had there not been a change. Me and my flare for the dramatic! I would have to pick such a drastic one. My former partner was/is a most gregarious, outgoing, humorous, brilliantly intelligent, well read, capable person who never met a stranger. We were devoted to our spiritual work, our discovery of ourselves, our paths and our BEingness. If anyone in our family was going to be "out there" doing anything of a spiritual nature in public, it was not going to be me. I would have stood behind in the shadows strongly supportive, encouraging, and the number one FAN, but I would not have stepped out. I never even gave it a thought.<br /><br />So Michael is right. Our partnership agreement had come to the point of growth. I chose it. I chose to grow. I would not have chosen it if the partnership had remained as it was. It was time for me to be about greater expressions of Spirit. So what I supposed was a tragedy, was my greatest blessing. I love my life and I love all those I have the honor and blessing to touch, meet and interact with.<br /><br />It is the very best time to be on earth right now in this glorious NOW moment. Don't you love it?<br /><br />Thanks for listening,<br />Blessings, Love and Hugs<br />to all<br />Shirl</span><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-115517149386231348?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1155524959597876222006-08-13T20:59:00.000-06:002006-09-09T17:15:20.256-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/1600/HC_GoingHome.gif.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/320/HC_GoingHome.gif.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><strong style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">Every Thought Counts Dramatically<br />Creating or Destroying in its Wake</strong> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><strong>By Gillian MacBeth-Louthan</strong></div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">============================</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />The numerical evolutionary vibration of the atomic numbers within the year 2006 are powerful and self fulfilling. They actualize the need to achieve and reach for something more. Reaching for what seems so far into a future that can only be seen through a pinhole laced with haze.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />2006 births a new octave of divinity. Recycling beliefs that no longer fit the paradigm of the immediate now. A new channel is sought and found. The unexpected is birthed and the encrypted will be the norm. There was a time in your recent past when computers were not part of your daily experience and now they are the norm. What comes to be in 2006 has never been a part of your consciousness, so you have nothing to compare it to in your memory or your genetics. It is at this point of realization that you must reach out consciously to assist in the connection process that awaits you.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />2006 allows you the opportunity to align with all that was before creation, in the form of pure undiluted universal possibility. The alpha and the omega and every molecule in-between invite you to partake of their truths. You are finally able to enter the free flowing experience of all possibility; like newly fallen snow with no footprints on it, you will walk upon a clean slate that has never been written upon.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />Learning to truly see, to create, to make real by looking through the quantum portal deep into the proverbial rabbit hole takes its toll on your dormant imagination. It is time to change the description of what once was thought to be defined. A call to duty is announced to all that are willing to expand. Without playing favoritism with any particular side of creation you exchange the cross for the crown. Encircling what you want with clear intention, dotting your "I AM's" and uncrossing your "t's" will be an empowering daily event. All time and no time embrace creating an experience of time being fruitless and fruitful simultaneously.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />You have finally come to the 100th monkey realization that your thoughts are the source of your power. Any and all limitations are the source of your power. Any darkness you battle can be a source of power if transformed from lead into gold. What stretches you comes from all creational vibrations. 2006 issues a decree that you must become the Champions. As One who rises from battle and continues to move forward on the sheer 'will to do good', the knight continues on the journey of light.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />Favorable energies come to call at your door. Those who have never efforted in your direction bring a cornucopia of unexpected assistance. In 2005 you were asked to climb and climb and climb again. Above fear, above emotions above deep waters and debris. You watched your world change its landscape right in front of your eyes happening in moments not decades. You felt helpless to change the outcome of what appeared to be destined. You were stretched and pulled about like 3-day-old salt-water taffy. Many of you were not personally affected by the natural disasters, yet everyone still experienced the painful expansion on a soul and cellular level.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />You have changed forever never to return to who you once were. You sit perched on a new branch of heart and light awaiting a signal of when it is safe to fly, neither sign, nor signal comes, You must rely only upon your own intuition to move forward. As this singularity you sit in a place of great power and sacredness; all that you do or do not do is created by you and you alone.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />The Blessedness of 2006 travels to every shore that will welcome it. By seeing the existing blessings in your transformative lives you will create a connection for this wave of blessedness to adhere to. The more thoughts you have of blessing what is in your life right now the more energy is generated, and the easier the new connection will be made. Thoughts of thankfulness and gratitude beckon this wave of blessedness; thoughts of negativity repel it.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />The fruits of all past labors of life and love can be now tasted and supped upon. What was once thought to be lost is found within ones very own life. Energy spent in helping others was placed into a universal account that has accrued to mighty proportions. Nothing was every lost or wasted or tossed away in thoughts and actions of goodness and kindness. All actions of inherent good have been counted and accounted for by the universal abacus. All time spent in prayer and kind thoughts for others has been exponentially expanded and multiplied beyond earth's ability to count. A great amount of heavenly rewards finds itself on the road to the masses.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />2006 is a portal to the pathway of internal illumination and a glimpse into true spiritual fulfillment. It offers a place and time of reconnecting to the Great Light that has appeared to be absent for the past few years. One is finally escorted into a placement of atomic personal power. Every thought counts dramatically, creating or destroying in its wake. Mastership demands 100% of your attention 24/7.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />The vibration of 2006 is in the form of an 8 looping around itself (888) creating an interconnectiveness that cannot be deciphered by those with a lesser heart. It awakens within humanity an ancient DNA that was made from scratch using an old recipe of stardust and earth. 2006 unties the 'time slip-knot' creating an open road to travel upon beckoning one to quest in a new direction. Fractals restructure themselves into different patterns of thought as the light within the unexpected and unexplained is turned up so high that even the 3 blind mice can see. You are leaving the energy of what has so distracted you and moving into a place of sharp focus. Chose to see all or nothing, do not turn a blind 3rd eye to any possibility.</div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><br />August 8, 2006 (8-8-8) is composed of the marriage of matter and antimatter. It is a place were the polarities meet and heaven and earth sip from each other's glass. It is a celebration beyond time that escorts you home through the Sphinx Lions Gate to the Stars you shine for while on earth. This is an unprecedented event that will be taking place. The very ends of your DNA will open as their telemer endings are unwrapped to expose ANU possibility. What comes to be has not unwrapped its protective coverings as of yet, but be assured it is worth its wait in gold.<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> <div>Gillian MacBeth-Louthan<br />PO box 217 | Dandridge, Tennessee 37725-0217 |<br />Spiritual Tools for Accelerated Transformation<br /><a href="http://www.theQuantumAwakening.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">www.theQuantumAwakening.com</a><a href="http://www.theQuantumAwakening.com"><br /></a><br /><br /></div></div><span style="color: rgb(102, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" > </span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/13803807-115552495959787622?l=mattersofspirit.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Shirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14821335893587681812noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13803807.post-1150401663120158742006-06-15T13:54:00.000-06:002006-06-15T14:01:03.146-06:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/1600/feather.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/5789/1060/320/feather.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><br /><div> <hr /> </div> <div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><strong>Duality Ascension</strong></div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"><strong>by Abby Haydon<br /></strong>================<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">We would wish to thank you for your participation this evening.

Your conception of Time will almost stand still, it will be changed. Time will go at different rates. Sometimes, you may feel that many hours have passed when only a minute has passed. You will be entering different dimensional frequencies. You will be in other vibrational frequencies where the concept of time will be different. This will be only one of many experiences that you will have as your body and mind begin to accelerate toward a new dimensional frequency. You will begin to "see" Time differently. You will begin to bring many other changes forth. You will then begin to realize that you are "SAFE" and that all of your experiences are happening in harmony with this Divine Plane of Acceleration of Ascension.<br /><br /></div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">YOU are moving to a new level of existence and your being is working in new ways. You will be experiencing Time differently. You will feel, at times, "out of sync" with clocks and other tools that are used to measure the passing of liner Time. Know that this is an experience of great Love and Joy. These experiences are happening for many reasons. We can only encourage you to feel comfortable and bring forth these changes. If you simply relax and allow yourself to have these experiences without creating great concern about them, without fear doubt or alarm, but know that they are part of a new emergence of energy, of the shifts in in the magnetic fields. All these energy shifts that are being brought forth are all working to bring into the space that you occupy a new dimensional frequency. You are as in two places at the same time. Part of you will be feeling as part of you third dimensional, usual, frequency, and another part will be feeling the higher level of this dimensional frequency.<br /><br /> </div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);"> </div> <div style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(102, 51, 51);">You will be in a unique position that has not occurred fo
