"I AM FREE"


"Said eyes, Those EYES...
Don't steal my FREEDOM
Oh ..my FREEDOM" To Whom it May Concern. CREED



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYjrF...eature=related ((NICE SOUND on this one...something different about it from all the rest,...even the voice was different, different energy maybe. Good dancing song, or having a drink alone song... I like it.))





"Advance, and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only corrupt blood." Khalil Gibran



We reach perfection as soon as we let it go.

PERFECT Freedom comes when we no longer seek acceptance from outside sources, but only when we find the courage to look within.

The only eyes that can steal my freedom are my own.

Personal Story:
I recently completed an individual assignment on a support group experience that I had to write about. The support group dealt with people who are dealing with CHRONIC PAIN. I am including a small piece of the writing that details what the facilitator (PH.D in NUTRITION) said to us in closing.

"She made it a point to emphasize how important it is for us to keep our thoughts healthy and in thinking healthier our bodies will follow. We have instilled inside of us the power to choose what we think about and what we take into our minds as far as words and images, just as we have the power to choose what foods go into our mouths and bodies. She said the mind, body connection is powerful and real, and makes a huge difference in our health." ...My Support Group Journal


"Your body is constantly renewing itself. The one thing about it you can be surest of is CHANGE. Every one of the millions of cells of which it is composed is constantly being renewed. Even your bones are daily renewing themselves in this way.

These cells are building—building—building. Every day they tear down old tissue and rebuild it with new. There is not a cell in your body, not a muscle or tissue, not a bone, that is more than eleven months old! " Secret of the Ages by Robert Collier


"You can hold before your mind's eye only the vision of youth, of manly vigor, of energy and strength and beauty—and that is the model that your cells will use to build upon." Collier


"Up in your subconscious mind is a Master Chemist with all the formulas of Universal Mind to draw upon, who can keep that chemical laboratory of yours making new parts just as fast as you can wear out the old." Collier


Is my master Chemist...a Dr. JEKYLL or a Mr. HYDE? ;)

Live the goodness

Life is difficult when you assume it to be so. Yet you never have to make that assumption.

Life is good when you allow it to be so. And you can always allow it to be.

It is not the situation itself that makes life one way or the other. It is the way you choose to view and to live the situation that makes all the difference.

Make the assumption that your life today is the very best it can possibly be. Then go out and prove that assumption true by the way you live.

Operate from a positive perspective and that will enable you to see the positive possibilities. Focus on visions of goodness and fulfillment, and the most valuable opportunities will fill your awareness.

You are immensely powerful, capable, and creative. See the goodness, be the goodness, live the goodness, and fill your life with the best possibilities.

— Ralph Marston from the Daily Motivator

Create a storehouse of positive thoughts in order to over come any negativity. It's like spending money...if you have plenty in the bank, you will avoid debt, you need more coming in than going out. To maintain a healthy weight we must be balanced with intake vs output. Too much output, not enough input...creates an energy deficit.

Its the same with our minds, which ultimately creates our outer circumstances or at least the way we react and view our outer circumstances.

Affirmations are a good way to create a new storehouse of great thought, this is one of my personal ones:


"My mind is full of only loving, healthy, positive and prosperous thoughts which ultimately are converted into my life experiences."

With much practice ...Magic Happens! Great Days Ahead... :)

"FICTION or NONFICTION?... that is the question!"
New Article in this months Scientific American Mind that says fiction Readers are more sociable than nonfiction readers. Interesting study because my youngest is a big fiction reader and she was voted the friendliest by classmates.

Says its because you are better able to relate to each character and therefore are able to accept a difference in perception by another due to a clearer understanding of what they may be feeling. It also opens up a wider dialogue approach to multiple situations. Most people respond to others based on dialogue experience. Certainly with the media these days and television those dialogues..HA! are very limited.

Lets just spray them..then they'll act like we want them to....KIDDING...

Using negativity to produce positive results.

More intense energy generated from within, produces faster results in mind and matter. Use emotions of a negative experience that produce an emotional response to visualize the future exactly how you would like it to be.
In the height of the negative thought when you become angry, or you become sad, when your emotions are peaking..VISUALIZE immediatley at the height. We can use bad things that happen to us in the past to create a better tomorrow.

It also works in the height of other energetic experiences such as exercise, an exciting memory..etc, etc, etc. Anytime you have an emotional heightening from mind or from physical promotion. ;)


What I do sometimes...is when I am in the middle of a workout and I am 45 minutes into it..and I feel like I can't go anymore. When I feel like I am going to pass out...I visualize this amazing supernatural scene that calms me down body and soul..I go deeply into my mind. I FEEL IT and it becomes true for me and then my body follows. I immediately regain the energy to finish the workout. Of course inner traveling as such can attract a few glances from bystanders, but that's ok...Nuttin to prove.



There are resources for this information, It has also worked for me personally. I think there is a Chapter in Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. It is also illustrated in many sacred texts...but I have alot to do today so I can't find them all at the moment. But if interested PM me and I will provide direct resources.

"That God, the Father, speaks directly to the sons of men-even as He has promised." 440-4 Edgar Cayce

"In electrical forces of every nature (that are the very basis of the atomic structure of the body, through which there is the manifestation of mind and soul of an individual entity, in its varied forms of whatever nature), if there are shorts of any nature there is confusion (mindclutter). This is true whether it be in the atomic structure of the individual or in any mechanical appliance to which it may be applied for its activity in the relationships for the benefit or convenience or constructive forces for man.

So in the radio wave that may make for pleasure, for convenience, for activities that are necessary for an attunement to a vibratory rate of a given nature for its association or connection with individuals who may attune instruments that may be in accord with certain lengths that are of a certain wave vibration, so that these are in unison, then there is the perfect accord for the bringing of those influences or forces into the experiences of individuals who may hear, feel, see, experience those activities that are without their own sphere of activity, but brought into their relationships as one to another by the use of those forces that must work by a law." 1135-3 Edgar Cayce :D


"This lies latent, of course, within self. First find deep within self that purpose, that ideal to which ye would attain. Make that ideal one with thy purpose in Him." 2533-1 Edgar Cayce

"And when this is done, enter into the inner self, opening self through the ideals of the meditation that have been presented through these channels, and surrounding self with the consciousness of the Christ that He may guide in that as will be shown thee; either in writing (inspirationally, not hand-guided) or in the intuitive forces that come from the deeper meditation, may there come much that would guide self first. Do not seek first the material things, but rather spiritual guidance,, developing self to the attunement to the psychic forces of the spheres as through the experiences in the varied activities in the varied planes of experience, but over in the light of that promise that has been given to be known among men, "If ye love me,, keep my commandments, that I may come and abide with thee and bring to thy remembrance those things that thou hast need of that have been between me and thee since the foundations of the world!" 513-1 Cayce

“Everything I experience today is a result of choices I have made in the past. The beauty of that statement is that I have the power to accept it or to change it if I am unsatisfied with the results. You plant one garden, you don’t like the harvest. Plant an entirely new one.

Sure some seeds will fall on tough ground and might not make a plant but repetition will finally get another one just like it to grow. At times I want to believe a truth, a completely new statement that I declare openly... but I find that my doubting its truth or my complaining, negative attitude keeps it at bay and I don’t see the results of that manifestation…I can’t touch it. I have found through tedious repetition that eventually the little spark grows into a fire that consumes my doubt and I begin to a see the harvest of that statement before my very eyes….One day I go to my mailbox and I am holding it in my hands, almost in disbelief but ...I can no longer doubt for the fruits of my labor have manifested right before my eyes...and I thanked GOD...OH ..did I thank Him, everything beautiful and just.

Then I begin to believe it and it gets bigger…as big as I choose for it be with nurturing it in my mind.” My Daily Journal



“A man's mind may be likened to a garden, which may be intelligently cultivated or allowed to run wild; but whether cultivated or neglected, it must, and will, bring forth. If no useful seeds are put into it, then an abundance of useless weed seeds will fall therein, and will continue to produce their kind.
Just as a gardener cultivates his plot, keeping it free from weeds, and growing the flowers and fruits which he requires, so may a man tend the garden of his mind, weeding out all the wrong, useless and impure thoughts, and cultivating toward perfection the flowers and fruits of right, useful and pure thoughts.” James Allen

(nice..magical... comments)

ONCE ALIGNED The energy of that particular energy body (that particular CHOSEN frequency such as...perfect love) is reflected in every image, even past images of our being. Its magical in that all negativity seems to have dissapated and all anyone can see is me now, who I am now and the energetic reflection I express in this moment.

In simple terms..when I align with love for instance, then everyone who sees me is also aligned with love, we attract to ourselves what we are. Pictures that were taken of me in the past ...before I displayed LOVE ALIGNMENT will reflect the energy of now...not that of the past. Where I am energetically/spiritually in this moment is eternal and permeates the history of my being.

NOW...From a different filter of viewing..Now from a place of unity, and unfragmented wholeness, in lifting the veil of illusion I can see that....
Every person I come in contact with now, is a preceeding voice in my head. They are a physical manifestation of my thought process aligned with the current expression of my energy and I align with them and you align with me. We are all connected...

So the beauty of that truth is that everyone we see teaches us about who we are and what we are thinking...and how we can grow and change in perfect love, (perfect love casts out fear and negativity). It empowers us to be able to choose a change from within...for the exterior is simply an expression of source. :)

On a personal note...
I went to Jack's yesterday morning...bought a diet coke..rammed the straw in the cup while it was between my legs...straw goes through the bottom of the cup, cup explodes in my lap. I couldn't change, couldn't turn around.. I had a deadline, so I kept going . I had to take a very important test..I wrapped a coat around my waist to hide the coke spill which completely soaked me to my ankles and my seat. My child..laughed at me for 30 miles....but sweetly offered me some of hers. :)

Lesson is do not use extreme force while putting straw in styrofoam cup. Bigger moral Quit the Diet Coke and drink bottled water. There was a recent study on 400 people who drank lots of diet soda over a period of 10 years that displayed a 70% increase in abdominal fat. Ummm that's a big number.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rCB6fUyrOlo



To align in perfect love in a simple way I count my blessings. I think about all the things that really bring a smile to me inside and out. The amazing part is that its not stuff. The things that really make me happy has to do with serving others and knowing I could have made a positive difference in one life. That I let one person know that they matter, that they are loved and valued. That I care.

I had a patient recently that blew my mind. He was suffering from the results of a stroke. His entire left side was paralyzed and he was completely dependent on someone else to care for him in simple things like standing up.
He couldn't swallow very well because even the left side of his face was paralyzed so someone had to make sure he could eat properly without choking.

In a matter of minutes his life changed forever, he went from being able to care for himself, to total dependence on someone else. I would have loved to see him stand up and walk out of that hospital, and there is nothing more pleasing than seeing a patient be discharged that I cared for especially in my presence. Sometimes all we can do is pray, motivate and encourage.

He cried when I took care of him, actually he cried alot... what he said has forever changed me. Before this I was completely worried about my competence, overly concerned. I simply cleaned his glasses off so that he could see....and in his tears...He said, "We just need someone who cares". His words echoed that of everyone in sickness and in health.


I don't think he knows that he changed me...don't know that he will ever know that in his hour of darkness, he forever changed me for the better. When I left there, I was crying, but I felt whole...I knew God gave me a heart to care and if I can't do anything else right...I can do that.


God is good, and He speaks through others at the perfect time...with just what you need to grow in Him, in LOVE. He cares and He uses all of us, even in darkness to reach others who may only need to hear one word to do a complete turnaround.

In the dream I am walking, this guy pulls up beside us and tries to attack us...I didn't know the guy, but he was trying to hurt us in the beginning....until I started questioning him then I could see his pain. He went from being a monster to someone very wounded and displaying and expressing only what he had been instilled with since birth. Other interesting communication happened but its sacred.

Its funny how we are so much like sponges. Children believe everything adults tell them and then they grow and become adults themselves. Some toting tremendous burdens.

We wonder why some will not leave an abusive situation but then realize that's all they know...the abuse is home because in their world view that is all they understand love to be...anything outside of that feels foreign. This girl I know told me about something that happened to her. She said she married into this family who loved to give hugs, she had never had many hugs growing up, so when she came into the first encounter with her new husband's people they were all hugging and kissing on her...she said she felt completely violated..HA! well her exact words were "I wound up standing in the corner, my hair sticking up, looking like a raped monkey" I love how she uses such illustrating words. I thought that was funny but its a great example of conditioning.

His mission was helping poverty sticken people who felt that they had been forgotten right in our own country. I liked what he was doing, he was just loving them. I thought about how important right thinking is for so many and how words sung, spoken or prayed with a great message can change a persons life because it changes the way they think. It instills hope in those who have lost it, and it empowers those who are weak in mind. Education is so important, whether it be in home, through school, or entertainment. Not education through remembering facts and figures but IN WISDOM.

Is it possible to Change the shape of your DNA, with emotion? Positive emotions are much STRONGER than Negative emotion. The happier we are ...the DNA becomes more relaxed and stronger. Every positive second we spend counting blessings or focusing on exactly what brings a smile reshapes and heals our body and our community and our world, simultaneously.

Infiltration: To gain entrance gradually or surreptitiously.
n. One that infiltrates, especially an abnormal substance that accumulates gradually in cells or body tissues.

Infiltration requires finding the weak spots in the enemy and entering through those areas to take over from the inside out. Every one wants acceptance and love no matter what kind of personality they are expressing or what belief system they are into. They want one person to see their potential. Acting upon that with everyone tirelessly... eventually attaches permanently and...transforms the entire system. It starts with love and accepting at the source...the outside is only a reflection of that accomplishment...just lets you see how far you 've come. I have a few more cells to penetrate.

I find beauty , externally and internally in that life has this incredible flow to it, this synchronicity that is beyond coincidence and has this mysteriousness about it. You can't explain it...just be in awe of its existance.
God is Brilliant and He loves you and me. ;)

"Goals help you overcome short-term problems."
Hannah More


I woke up with an empty head, no thoughts as to what I needed to learn
today or what I needed to focus on and as I type this its comin' to me. Goals written and focused upon takes my attention off ...little problems, little problems are no match for a higher focus point.

I find that when I write it down and create even a wobbly unsteady plan things begin to come together from outside resources, magically, that help me to meet those goals. The more specific I am and the more focused I become the quicker it happens. I find that I have to negate any doubtful thoughts with complete awareness of my current, now thoughts...by catching them as soon as they are out of alignment with specifics and flipping the negative to one positive saying that produces results in favor of the ultimate finishing point. Wow that was a mouthful...HA!..I love to just let it happen like that! :rolleyes:

Nice Example: My youngest daughter is a highly competitive athlete. She writes her goals down in a notebook and prays about them, and when she's met those...she writes more. She said that when she writes her goals, people help her achieve them. They are unknowing of her writings, the notebook stays here. They just know that something inside them is urging them to help her get better. They give advice, but not just any advice...the exact advice she needs to improve and meet her goals. Happens all the time. ;) I stand in complete amazement at how it all comes together. She'll say these were my goals from a few months ago...I met them all.

WATER

Can you take me higher?
To a place where blind men see?

My friend I'd sacrifice all those nights,
If I could make the earth an my dreams the same. CREED (HIGHER)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erFoL...eature=related

FACT:
As babies we are approximately 75 to 80% water and as we grow older this percentage decreases until the percentage is reduced to approximately 60 to 65% for men and 50 to 60% for women. The human brain is about 85% water and our bones are between 10 to 15% water.

Cells are made up of mostly WATER. We have BILLIONS of cells in our body.


How does energy effect water?

Water is a perfect conductor of electricity and this becomes important in the day to day operation of our bodies. For example, the electrical potential is shared between the brain neurons through electrochemical transmitters. This electrical potential of brain chemistry must be present for any of our "thoughts" to take place.


What does that have to do with the price of eggs?...nothing J/K


It is a fact that the spoken word is a vibration, an energy just as any sound. This energy effects us in a positive or negative fashion as we recieve it into our being. But the connection is physical as well as mental.


Example: Stressfull thoughts cause a release of catacholamines in your body that make things happen such as high heart rate, etc. Chemicals within you mix to form a reaction. You are the chemist, your body produces substances that can heal you or kill you based on your thought process. Isn't that interesting?


A Japanese Scientist did a research project on WATER's REACTION to positive and negative words. Now the water didn't see any difference in what language was spoken, just the energy that was produced (negative or positive). Its an amazing experiment and it will make you think twice about how our body reacts to positive energy.

If you want to be in awe (nice music too)....watch this:

ASK AND WE SHALL RECEIVE....(EXAMPLE)...

It's a miracle! For years I have struggled with this last 25 lbs. I started at about 235 and worked down to 150. I've fluctuated between 135 to 150. I thought I might have diabetes (Type 2) because the weight was right in my middle and I could not get it off. I am working out 4-5 days a week, over an hour at a time weights and extreme cardio. I eat healthy except for a bag of sour patch kids every now and again. :rolleyes:

I was completely baffled...What is the problem? I finally ASKED the question... then suddenly out of no where, the answer comes....after all these years..the answer comes...BAM..just like that! SUGAR!! HIDDEN SUGAR! I am so HAPPY :D ..Do you know what this means? :D

This is how the ANSWER CAME...I am in WalMart buying cookbooks for Christmas gifts when I look up and see this guy smiling at me on the cover of this book. It's JORGE CRUISE...he has this program called the Belly Fat Cure. It was glowing...(the book was standing out from all the rest). I knew I had to buy it.

I get home and a miracle happens, after reading his lovely book...I realize that there is hidden sugar in most of what I was eating and not just a little sugar..massive amounts of sugar...which you guessed it ..goes straight to your middle as fat. ONE cup of Yogurt has 26 grams. Its hidden in foods that are supposed to be healthy. I wish you could have seen my face. I looked like someone had just hit me with a 2 by 4. But then this feeling of satisfaction overwelmed me because I knew...I had the answer I NEEDED TO FINALLY REACH MY GOALS!! I looked like Indiana Jones in my cabinets and fridge searching for sugar contents in products. I found my treasure!

One of my favorite stories: Very Moving...(this is the ending)

I have been here. I have always been here,” said the stranger. “You say you don’t celebrate Christmas. Why?”


“Well, after my wife passed away, I just couldn’t see what all the bother was. Puttin’ up a tree and all seemed a waste of a good pine tree. Bakin’ cookies like I used to with Martha just wasn’t the same by myself and besides I was gettin’ a little chubby.”


The stranger put his hand on George’s shoulder. “But you do celebrate the holiday, George. You gave me food and drink and warmed me when I was cold and hungry. The woman with child will bear a son and he will become a great doctor. The policeman you helped will go on to save 19 people from being killed by terrorists. The young man who tried to rob you will make you a rich man and not take any for himself. “That is the spirit of the season and you keep it as good as any man.”


George was taken aback by all this stranger had said. “And how do you know all this?” asked the old man.


“Trust me, George. I have the inside track on this sort of thing. And when your days are done you will be with Martha again.”

The stranger moved toward the door. “If you will excuse me, George, I have to go now. I have to go home where there is a big celebration planned.”


George watched as the old leather jacket and the torn pants that the stranger was wearing turned into a white robe. A golden light began to fill the room.


“You see, George … it’s My birthday. Merry Christmas.”


George fell to his knees and replied, “Happy Birthday, Lord.”

"ODD" evening posting for me....

Energy Flows where ATTENTION goes!


"Patience is a virtue only needed for one who holds on to the resistance of instant creation."

"All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within." Horace Friess

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." Gandhi

Whatever is active in my vibration NOW...is bringing in my tomorrow. I Let go of the resistance of unforgiveness and embrace love with all of my being.
What I am living and what is playing out before my eyes is a vibrational indicator of what is going on within me. Relationships, financial well being, my landscape are all vibrational indicators of my thought process. I should recognize the importance of how I FEEL in this moment. I should care about the way I feel about everything because its planting seeds that grow into a great harvest. I should make it a point everyday to find a better feeling thought.

I have to remember that my better feeling thoughts are unique to me.

I must move myself deliberately back up the emotional scale to align with who I really am. As I do this everyday... I will begin to see through new eyes and I will fall in love with a life that is a friend in all ways to who I really am. :)


God is so, sooo Good and I am so very thankful for his presence in my life today, He was around every corner, in the eyes of every person, even in the beautiful artwork that lined the walls, I love texture art and I had such an epiphany while viewing it all.

The one thing I heard loud and clear today out of the mouth of a woman speaking to my heart was this: "I knew you before you were born." Prayer changes things and you can never ever replace family and friends in a time of need. Our little patent who was only 12 years old and like a son to me came thru the radiation treatment like a little warrior. He only has a few bandaids on his head from the brace that he had to wear during the treatment. They got all of the problem out of his head and he will heal completely.

Every DAY we should appreciate our children, and our family and friends because in an instant they can be sent home and we are left here holding a memory. Every day we should tell people what they mean to us. Every day we should forget the little problems and focus on what wonderful blessings God has given all of us especially through those who surround us daily.

So very Thankful! :D

What is my perception of Freedom?


There is an expression I want to project but I am worried about the worlds response to that expression, really..the freedom is not being challenged at all because its not really the world, its only my perception of the world. I care too much about the outside, about what people think about the choices I am making, it comes from a place of wanting approval and acceptance. This is the polar opposite of freedom.

When I am at this crossroad and this feeling comes up within me...it is an indicator that my life has become more than I am letting myself be. I have to make a choice in this moment to move forward or to remain standing where I have always stood, in a place of self deception.

The acceptance of others is a complete illusion started at the source of my being. Their approval doesn't matter because it all starts within me...when I approve, they approve and those who don't are not existant in my vibrational space ...anymore. They vanish from my path and the ones remaining in my space are genuine and align with source. But its only when I find the courage to crossover into an existance of mental clarity and understanding of who I really am, can this joyous moment be born. Welcome Home.



Letting go of all that I was only takes one more step toward what I am becoming.

"The Prince and the Statue"


"All that has been devastated
Can be recreated

We pick up the broken pieces" CREED (Who's Got my Back)


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SRbVctz0bLY
Play the link while you are reading...adds a little "something" to the story.


Some can read but never see, it's only when we align with it that we can see it clearly. To align, it is essential to believe. In believing we see.


The Prince and the Statue


“There was once a prince who had a crooked back. He could never stand straight up like even the lowest of his subjects. Because he was a very proud prince his crooked back caused him a great deal of mental suffering.

“One day he called before him the most skilful sculptor in his kingdom and said to him: 'Make me a noble statue of myself, true to my likeness in every detail with this exception—make this statue with a straight back. I wish to see my-self as I might have been.

“For long months the sculptor worked hewing the marble carefully into the likeness of the prince, and at last the work was done, and the sculptor went before the prince and said: 'The statue is finished; where shall I set it up?' One of the courtiers called out: 'Set it before the castle gate where all can see it,' but the prince smiled sadly, and shook his head. 'Rather,' said he, 'place it in a secret nook in the palace garden where only I shall see it.'

The statue was placed as the prince ordered, and promptly forgotten by the world, but every morning, and every noon, and every evening the prince stole quietly away to where it stood and looked long upon it, "noting" the straight back and the unlifted head, and the noble brow. And each time he gazed, something seemed to go out of the statue and into him, tingling in his blood and throbbing in his heart.

“The days passed into months and the months into years; then strange rumors began to spread throughout the land. Said one: 'The prince's back is no longer crooked or my eyes deceive me.' Said another: 'The prince is more noble-looking or my eyes deceive me.' Said another: 'Our prince has the high look of a mighty man,' and these rumors came to the prince, and he listened with a queer smile.

Then went he out into the garden to where the statue stood and, behold, it was just as the people said, his back had become as straight as the statue's, his head had the same noble bearing; he was, in fact, the noble man his statue proclaimed him to be.”

Remember: Patience is only needed when we are resistant to the change. Allow it in the NOW...MOVE MOUNTAINS.

CRACKER BARREL

Officially in 1 minute it will be the 22nd. Yesterday on the 21st I went shopping at GameStop which is game heaven in the south. I wanted to buy gift cards for all of my nephews who are all gaming fanatics. I am standing in this long line, when this elderly woman behind begins to talk to me, we talked the whole time we stood in line waiting. Her husband had hip surgery, and is healing wonderfully. When I got to the register, I bought the gift cards, the clerk said you are about to make 4 little boys very happy. :D

The interesting thing about this conversation was that out of the blue he looks at me and says,"This guy walked in earlier today and said he was just about to go eat at the local Cracker Barrel Restaurant and asked,"Is there anything you all want me to bring you back?" The clerk laughing said, "Sure, bring us some rolls back." Ha! While he is telling me this story he points to this half eaten roll sitting on top of a take out plate from Cracker Barrel, He said, "It's amazing, he actually brought us back rolls."

I said, "There are alot really good people in the world."

We must see them and tell about them more for them to multiply in our lives.

Shifting Consciousness

"Tell me where I sign my name
Inside I have no peace of mind
Only bread of shame" Bread of Shame (CREED)



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwBEKVYViAA

Shame is another indicator of misalignment with love and acceptance of our being and of others. It is instilled at a young age, normally with the words "You should be ashamed of yourself." Anytime we stepped a little out of line this is what was repeated into our minds.

Interestingly as children believing what adults tell us, we consumed those words and then unknowingly nurtured them by always creating a life experience that caused them to be true for us.

The only way to avoid such experiences from repeating is to eradicate the seed (thought) from the mind using a repetitive counteractive affirmation. In doing so we create a new environment and new life experiences based on a newly planted seed (thought).

Here is a nice one:

Today, I want to release All need for guilt & shame, anger & resentment.

I am willing to release the need for guilt & shame. I release the pattern in my consciouness that has created these conditions. I order them wiped out, erased, eliminated, neutralized, released. I affirm that I am now free of them. I affirm that I am willing to release the causes; the patterns in my consciouness that are creating any negative conditions in my life now. I am willing to release the need for these conditons. I allow them to disappear, to fade away, to dissolve back into the nothingness from whence it came.

I am willing to stop mentally rejecting what I say I want. I am now FREE. I am FREE of the past. The old garbage no longer has a hold on me. I am now Free. I create in the present moment with the power of my own mind that which I now desire. My current thoughts are always creating my future. Now I will do this consciously. That which I need to know is revealed to me, & whatever I need comes to me. I am divinely protected & guided, & my way is made smooth and easy.

Anger & resentment & blame. I consciously dissolve that. I release the need for anger & resentment & blame. I truly forgive all of those that need forgiving & I forgive myself. I look forward to this day with love & peace & joy & anticipation of abundant good in every area.

This is a healthy, harmonious, loving, prosperous & creative day for me. It is filled with Joy. I welcome change & adventure. I bring new experiences & new people into my life.

Let this day be filled with love for me. Let this day be peaceful & calm. Let this day bring new insights, new understandings. Let this day bring unexpected prosperity. Let this be a day of great joy. This is my day. This is a good day. It is a new day. This is one of the best days I have ever had. This is a new beginning.



Merry CHRISTmas!

Labor Pains


As the pains get closer together the birth is imminent, the cervix dilates, and a child is born.


The best teachers are those who use themselves as a guide for others, those who have been there and lived through what they are teaching.

The best coaches were once players in the game.

The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains. The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires. ~William Arthur Ward




I am thinking about my greatest teacher and coach. The one who is a King and deliberately came to earth to be born in a manger in a shed full of animals, with no socioeconomic status, not even a home to lay His head.

He started there to show me the way to heaven/paradise. To show me how to think, how to give, how to heal, how to forgive, how to teach, how to be a true friend, and how to love through self sacrifice. Blood represents and symbolizes our lifeforce, without it our bodies can't survive, it contains vitamins, minerals and electrolytes even oxygen...His blood which represents the pure life He lived washes me clean. I can begin again everyday holding His hand. When I remember that and give it all to Him, give all the burdens with deliberate intention and ask for guidance, everything is made new again.

They put the blood of a lamb over the threshold of the houses for the death angel to pass over. "Those who "believe" in me will never taste death."


From my personal experience growing up, had He not been there in the midst of all that darkness I don't know that I would have ever found my way, I followed Him all the way back into myself...where He lives today. ;)

For unto you a child is born...and you shall call him, Jesus.

HIGHER

"Let love replace all our hate."
Can you take me higher?... CREED (Higher)



Jesus or Barabbas?

If asked the question, who would I choose to go free? Who did the crowd choose to set free...then? Who did they choose to crucify?

Who does the majority choose to be free in their own lives today, roaming the earth and the mind....The question is still being asked and we are still choosing in every moment, with every book we read, with every channel we watch, with every conversation we have, with every thought we think, every song we sing....

Think about the type of energy each one harnessed, the kind of words that surround them, the kind of images they harness, the kind of thoughts they each provoke within us.

Jesus = healer, teacher, motivator, savior, love, acceptance, faith, friend, prayer, light.....

Barrabas= murdererer, hate, destruction, violence, rapist, robber...darkness...


It was a custom in history that one man could go free according to the crowds choosing. The popularity vote won, and one man convicted of crime and sentenced to death could go free...sentenced to death...the other one would live and walk among the people.

If we step back today and look at what the popularity vote is today in the media, what type of personality usually wins out? What type of movies win the popularity vote? Books? Television? ...Games?

Natural law states that what we think about expands in our lives, what we place our attention on gets bigger and surrounds us in many different formats.
Collective consciousness even it makes it more so...

Matthew 27: 21-23

Which of the two do you want me to release to you?” asked the governor.

“Barabbas,” they answered.

22“What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?” Pilate asked.

They all answered, “Crucify him!”

23“Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”



Today...It's an individual choice. Who do I want released into my life?

Who do I want to walk within me and around me?

Who do I want in my thoughts?



“The man who thinks hateful thoughts brings hatred upon himself. The man who thinks loving thoughts is loved.”
― James Allen, Above Life's Turmoil

“The man who sows wrong thoughts and deeds, and prays that God will bless him, is in the position of a farmer who, having sown tares, asks God to bring forth for him a harvest of wheat. That which ye sow, ye reap.”
― James Allen, Above Life's Turmoil


“A particular train of thought persisted in, be it good or bad, cannot fail to produce its results on the character and circumstances. A man cannot directly choose his circumstances, but he can choose his thoughts, and so indirectly, yet surely, shape his circumstances. ”
― James Allen, As a Man Thinketh


Matthew 7:16 By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles?
------------------------------------------------
Matthew 12:33 "Make a tree good and its fruit will be good, or make a tree bad and its fruit will be bad, for a tree is recognized by its fruit.

(The symbolism regarding the tree of life, according to Emanuel Swedenborg,
reflects the perception of our mind)

Words become thoughts, thoughts become tangible...

"The covenant has been broken
by mankind...."

"All that has been devastated
Can be recreated..." CREED (Who's got my back?)




“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him” (Jn. 1:1-3).


He spoke the earth into existance from darkness.... Gen, first Chapter


Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, in our likeness, and let them rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth, and over all the creatures that move along the ground." So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. Gen 1:26


"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us..." John 1:14


"Words are more powerful than atom bombs"...how we arrange them in our minds, shapes our future. I love playing with words...:rolleyes:





"The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who'll get me a book I ain't read." - Abraham Lincoln
