I am given opportunities every day to overcome fear. I find the opportunity in even smallest decisions. At any given moment, what do I do? What drives the choices I make? There are two clear voices in my being. The one that wants to do the right thing, it’s the one that wants to operate in love unrestricted by convention or obstacle. The other one does what it always does, what it’s been trained to do: to live in the mundane reality of sleep-eat-work, keep your head down, enjoy what you can while you can, and when it comes to being a better person, it’s mixed in with the element of ‘do what you can, where you can’. And that is the backdoor into action of what the other voice would have me do. In truth, I am capable of doing anything. Will the doing be successful or will it be a failure? Logic/left brain steps in. Right brain believes anything is possible, left brain puts a stop to that thinking.

It rationalizes the choice to stay in fear.

Every decision I make is faced with a polarity, the choices turn into a discussion between these two voices. Ego and Spirit.

So afraid. If I could change one thing about myself, it would be to remove my fear, to operate unbound by doubt. But the fear is that I would prove myself wrong. That the doubts voiced by the ego were justified. That what my heart and spirit wants to do is irrational, impossible, not reality.

Even the very fact that there is a present moment is the presentation of a choice. A choice to begin again. A commitment to doing what my spirit would like to do. To do something that makes me feel different. Something that would make life better on this planet. What the heck would THAT be? At least, the point would be to move in another direction away from this angst and see what results lay there.

Look for the thing causing the most irritation in your life and there lay your greatest opportunity for change. I’m irritated by the warring voices in this world. This side vs. that side. I just want people to relax, back down and look inward. Is it NOW helpful to look for advice from the logic brain and assess what choice of action would generate the greatest most desirable outcome in pursuit of this direction? Why now? Why give ego that power NOW? Why not before? And there is the first hurdle down the path of love.

WHAT can I do to make this world, this life, a better place for all? Intuition says it’s simple and to ‘let my inner light shine outwards’. Maybe it’s not an activity, action, or participation in something outside myself. /shrug. I’m pretty sure it’s at least a commitment to put into action, personal choices that promote movement towards that direction of the betterment of all. But fear prevents it. Fear of failure, fear of discomfort.

There is always a choice. There is always the opportunity to overcome fear. Even if it wasn’t something as glorious and grand as bettering the human race, even if it was something simple I needed to choose between, some every-day decisions… like decisions that affect my health.

I’m stymied by the uncertainty of any choice. Uncertain of the proper direction. Uncertain of the success or failure of any action. And the fear of choice and failure often determines what choice I make. I’m also afraid to be made uncomfortable.

Man, my behavior is psychotic sometimes. Not in any violent way, just, looking at the choices I make, you’d wonder why any sane person would make them. And what is sane anyway… Is it really sane to say that junk food in any capacity is ok to consume? Is it sane to pass up the opportunity to exercise if there’s nothing stopping me from doing it… except the fear of discomfort?

Compassion. Always comes back to compassion. Unconditional love and compassion. Not just fluffy love. I recognize how fluffy love is not the only thing that is required. Its passivity is not entirely conducive towards acting in compassion. I wish to understand the ways in which love is expressed. I understand hormonal love-chemical love, familial love… Unconditional love… somehow it’s tied into ego…

I once heard about a wise man that when asked how he operates in such peace, replied: “Do you want to know my secret? I don’t mind what happens to me.” I’ve heard that “Unconditional love is allowing the other being to operate as they wish.” It’s the setting aside of your own ego and simply allowing.

What happens when another being wishes to impose their will upon you? You may or may not be in a position to prevent it whether you wish to or not. Are you not operating in unconditional love by preventing them to operate as they wish? Does this mean unconditional love means you allow yourself to be acted upon? I know were supposed to discern for ourselves what resonates with us and what does not and to take into our experience only that which resonates with us. So… if having someone’s will worked upon me is something I discern that does not resonate with me, and I’m not in a position to do anything about it… what is that? I suppose it’s not a violation of unconditional love, if I am in a position to do something about it, to simply “be a moving target” and not allow myself to be ‘made a victim’. After all, I have a will also. It’s not stopping them; it’s simply choosing not to allow the interference. I suppose the most glaring ugliness is in those occasions where you are not able to do something about having their will imposed upon you. For example, cases of physical violence when they are stronger than you. But, what about the government and its various institutions? What if I no longer wish to be put under its will? What recourse do I have? I could go against the system… but fear of the discomfort that would cause stops me. Jail is very uncomfortable, I imagine.

There is always a choice. Free will is like that.

Why am I afraid?

There is no reward for having courage. The experience is the same, it only lacks the consequences of choosing fear. I don’t feel cowardly when I make the choice not motivated by fear. That’s a good thing, sure. (Oh yeah… there is no good or bad. Well, then… not feeling cowardly is something I discern that I wish to incorporate into my experience.) So, in the everyday choices, not choosing fear has the result of me not feeling cowardly. But the results of choices made in bravery don’t feel like they have any sort of ‘empowerment’ behind them. I just did what I was supposed to do. It’s an ego thing to want a reward.

I feel as if the purpose of life is to act in compassion without it having to be a reaction. The old adage, “Act, don’t react”. So what am I waiting for?

I can act in compassion for myself in the very least. Make decisions that promote me as opposed to bring me down. Listen to the voices inside. What do I want my experience to be? (AKA: what’s ‘good’ for me?) Have courage, be brave... I may not like what I hear. Is this uncertainty just me not liking what I hear? To make the decision on what I’d like my experience to be, I’d need to know what the outcome of any decision! If I smoke cigarettes, or eat junk food will I get cancer? Some people do, some don’t! So we have to accept the consequences of our actions. Does that mean we now make decisions based on the fear of the possible negative consequences?!

UGH!!! MORE FEAR!

Or is it that I need to “not mind what happens to me”? Accept the consequences because they are the results of my actions. Is this the purpose of life? Interesting. And not.

In a perfect world, I'd wanna quit my life as it is and start participating in a lifestyle that promotes global human unity. I wanna live on a commune. I'm a hippie, what can I say. :) Uncertainty of direction stops me, and an attachment to my current experience stops me (the life Eric has been living so far). The only fear that exists is a separation from Eric’s life. That’s a choice. The fear then lies in the ‘what if’. What if this direction is pulling me down? What if my soul’s dreams are never realized by means of my current choice? What if this direction does not lead to what my spirit wants? Can my spirit be satisfied with this choice? Yes? They why this angst? Why this persistent ‘what if’?

I suppose I’m waiting for something to present itself; a way to display compassion and live in unity. But is that lazyness? Fear? Is that in violation of the purpose of life: to act, not react? Be the change you want to see... Probably.

Ugh… over-thinking.

From the story "The Diary of Adam and Eve" from the musical "The Apple Tree"

I see animals and birds and flowers,
Every color, every shape and size;
Moss and pebbles and a host of wonders,
Gleaming everywhere I aim my eyes.
So if ever I'm attacked by boredom,
I'll just open up my eyes and see
This diversified, curious, fascinating, bountiful,
Beautiful, beautiful world.

I hear chattering and I hear chirping,
Whistling, murmuring and horks and snorts;
If I simply take the time to listen.
I hear music of a thousand sorts.
So if ever I would rest my eyes,
My ears could easily describe to me
This diversified, curious, fascinating bountiful,
Beautiful, beautiful world.

World, thank you very much,
for all I see, hear, taste and touch;
Plus every whiff - I sniff.

Still it's possible a day may come
When momentarily the world wears thin;
If I'm weary of the world outside me,
I can always take a good look in.
For along with every cloud and cobweb,
I'm emphaticaly a member of
This diversified, curious, fascinating bountiful,
Beautiful beautiful world I love!

How would humanity change if, instead of material wealth, consciousness was our highest value?

Over a month ago, I posted a petition I found online which stated that humans were open to receiving assistance from higher beings. ET's, multi-dimensional consciousnesses, creators, angels, what have you...

I found this online today as a sort of cautious response/re-proposal by humanity for such assistance. I have some issues with it. I would not sign it yet. I do not think the greater universe works in this way an that this petition only serves to illustrate humanity's ... what would be the word... unreadiness, lack of elevated maturity, mistrust... maybe you get my point.

What I got from this re-proposal was: "We'd like to trust you but we don't and we feel the need to explain and propose this to you instead, on our terms for our own self-interest." That is a very shallow minded, short sighted response in my opinion. I agree that full open acceptance, or some might say total immediate capitulation, may not feel good, but, listen to what I've come to understand. The lesson most pressing upon me at the moment is to embrace fear, enter into it, do not hesitate, love what you fear. In doing so, you transmute it from what is unknown (or maybe even unknowable) and bring the event involving fear into the known (through its experience). This is not done by setting up safeguards and imposing restrictions on how you face what you fear.

The online petition can be found here: http://www.petitiononline.com/readynow/petition.html

Here it is:

Petition

We Are Ready to Change the World

While we, "individuals without distinction", as you put it, cannot be certain that your message is a sincere attempt initiate first contact, nonetheless we feel it is prudent to respond with our aspirations for such an encounter.

The forthright picture that you paint of us lets us know that you value honesty above superficial pleasantries even in an introduction. For us as well, honesty has proven to be a key in building close relationships.

As you point out, our experience on this planet demonstrates that the contact of a human society with a larger collective can be difficult. We understand that, in this situation, we are in the role of Pacific Islanders on the eve of Discovery. Great ships of the foreign powers wait offshore, out of visual range. Even though the ships are invisible, our seers have advised us that the ships are out there, waiting. So it is time to consider our options. With respect to malevolent foreign powers, the strategic options are limited to either resistance or capitulation. Resistance in the face of overwhelming technological superiority is ultimately a futile exercise in self-mortification. Yet capitulation could entail a long process of colonial occupation and exploitation. While this might be in the perceived interests of certain elites, for the people in general, it is a disaster.

But what if one of the foreign powers is benevolent? As we see it, your proposal presents us with the possibility of a third option, namely, to establish a partnership with a foreign power that has our best interests at heart. In this way, even though we might lack the military capability to defend ourselves, any power that would threaten us would also be taking on our friends, and so therefore would be restrained. Since our prospects under this option are far preferable to those under the other two scenarios, we wish to explore the opportunity you have offered.

How can we be sure of your good intents? The simple truth is that we cannot know at first. We can build trust only through working together successfully toward shared goals. As we understand your offer, you will give us new information regarding science, technology, medicine, personal empowerment, energy and consciousness. With these tools, it is our responsibility to build the world we desire. To us, this seems to be an ideal method to build self-confidence and accelerate our progress toward the "technical and spiritual maturity" we need for productive interplanetary relations. The terms of your offer in and of themselves give us confidence that you have our long term interests in mind.

What can we offer in return? We can envisage a time in which the human experience can be brought to bear to resolve contentious issues in many places in the galaxy. On this planet, South Africa is a country that has overcome a violent history and has reconciled diverse antagonistic communities, so much so that it is now a model of successful peacemaking and healing for the rest of our planet. We would like to be able to offer what we have learned on Earth to assist in resolving conflicts occurring in other places.

What is the best way to proceed? While, no doubt, many humans will be eager to immediately explore the full spectrum of opportunities afforded by contact, we appreciate the wisdom of waiting until after we have absorbed the initial shock. And, to be truthful, we would like to postpone any binding interplanetary agreements until we are confident we understand your values and goals, and we have had the opportunity to demonstrate the unique offerings that we have to contribute to interplanetary society.

Therefore, we suggest a seven year period during which we can learn about you and the larger Federation of which you are a part; and so you can learn more about us, and our unique talents. During this time, we can develop a coherent planetary voice and new institutions suited to the task of conducting interplanetary affairs. At the end of the transition period, a properly constituted authority can enter into formal agreements that we consider would best serve our collective interests.

Are you right about the presence of a "third party" of ETs? After we meet you, we will be in a position to consider your allegations of misconduct on the part of "third party" ETs or humans acting in collaboration with them. Certainly we are already aware that some humans in positions of power do not seem to act in the best interests of their people. What we do not know is the cause of their choices. If, as you allege, many in power are not free to choose their actions, we would consider this a gross violation of their human rights. We can offer to establish a Truth Commission that will consider any evidence that you may like to bring forward regarding human rights abuses on, above, or below the planet's surface.

If you do decide to go ahead and make yourselves visible, we are sure you understand that you do so at your own risk. We are not able to guarantee your safety and so you will have to take appropriate measures to defend yourselves in the event of any adverse reaction on the part of humans or other ETs. Especially at the beginning, we may have difficulty distinguishing friend from foe, and we and our representatives, do have the right and responsibility to defend ourselves from actual threats.

Given the difficulties you cite with our current governmental institutions, we wish to make sure that the transition process is conducted in an open, transparent way. In particular, we feel it vital to include "individuals without distinction" in decision making bodies that include our political representatives. As they do not represent any national government, such individuals could be charged with holding in mind the interests of humanity as a whole. Individuals with a history of dedicated service, and a commitment to truth, peace and justice are not hard to find. As just one example, the World Commission on Global Consciousness and Spirituality, brings together esteemed individuals of integrity that share a positive vision for our planet:

"The Commission seeks to inspire consciousness of the wholeness of the human family and the sacred tapestry of all life. " http://globalspirit.org

Certain universal values, such as the aspirations for Peace, Truth, Compassion and Justice, come naturally to humans, and we would love to see them everywhere become more compelling than the allure of parochial interests. We can wholeheartedly endorse such a goal as part of this process.

We appreciate your respect for the sanctity of human free will, and the inalienable right of each individual to pursue their own spiritual path. In the past, humans have looked to the skies for gods or some kind of salvation. We understand that this is not part of your offer, and that we must each continue to pursue our own individual development. As a species and a planetary ecology, we remain responsible for our own evolution.

What do we want? Certain places on Earth are of exceptional beauty. The island of Tahiti is an example of a place so beautiful that visitors are content to "take only memories" and "leave only footprints." We would like to be able to conserve the planet's natural environment so we can continue to enjoy the rich variety of life that surrounds us. As well, certain places on Earth are sacred. We desire that the Earth’s sacred landscape will remain dedicated to universal values such as Truth, Freedom, and the quest for God.

After contact, we can anticipate that we will need a new foundation for our economy, one that reflects the system of values current in the interplanetary economy. We can see that it is to our advantage to be able to function autonomously within this context as soon as we can. Of course, because of our isolated condition, we must be technically backward by Federation standards. While we are ignorant of what you might use as a process or medium of exchange, we know we must offer something that you value in order to receive much of what we will need in order to develop without undue dependency.

We are quite pleased to read that you value Joy and Peace. Many here would delight in providing just such commodities to the Federation! With this in mind, we would like to suggest that Earth establish an economy based on interplanetary tourism and peacemaking rather than any extractive industry.

We would like to be known as a place of Truth, Peace and Beauty. This is the identity we feel would do the most to preserve what we love about our precious planet, while also providing the basis for our economic and political independence.

If you are in alignment with these goals, we are on board with your proposal.


Sincerely,

The Undersigned



Interesting term... Exo-politics. I'm gonna look into this.

Are you people really buying this line the media feeds us about the spiral lights in Norway last week? It doesn't matter what you or I think it is, what matters is that we don't stop asking questions about it. It may take years for people to find out what it is... but do we really buy the first "reasonable explination..." we're handed? (NOT THAT IT'S EVEN THAT REASONABLE!!!)

And don't fall for the lightshow either. It's not gonna be like that. It's YOU. It's US.

This weekend I went to a workshop that is held twice a year in my area of the country. Author and Priest Orion Foxwood goes around the country teaching people willing to learn, his unique tradition. He calls the program Faerie Seership because it deals with our relationship to beings and spirits who exist beyond the veil of our perception. Many beings exist beyond the veil. Not too few of which are our ancestral dead, both recent and ancient. Then there are the discorporate beings who existed here before the evolution of man. One of the founding inhabitant beings of the earth. Cayce speaks of them in many of his readings. The hidden knowledge of them has been passed thru the ages and eons of man as the legends of the Fey. The spirits of the wood and stones which you might call Inanima.

This is from Orion's website: http://www.orionfoxwood.com/seership.html

What is "Faery Seership" and where did it originate?

Seership has long been connected with the folkloric practices of Gaelic and other indigenous people, specifically as it relates to the second sight. This "second sight" is the ability to see in both the world of humans and that of the spirits. In the culture I come from it is called many names such as "the blessing", "the veil", "dreaming true" and "the knowing". The lore and practices of what I call "Faery Seership" are influenced by Celtic, Appalachian and Southern American cultures.

As a practice, I doubt that it was ever called this, however, I use it as a term for the lore and practices of the material I teach. For me, Faery Seership is a system of lore, practices, techniques and other concept elements that aim to bring forward the otherworldly gifts of the students who practice it. By otherworldly gifts I mean what I call "the gate of enchantment", which is the manner in which humans touch the unseen company and the spirits touch the individual human. Once this point of sensitivity has been identified, it can be expanded and refined through Faery Seership as an instrument for inter-species and inter-plane communication and work.

Additionally, in the Faery Seership apprenticeship program and my new book, I offer a paradigm for the seeker to approach and understand themselves as spirit beings involved in a relationship with other forms of life/ intelligence be they incarnate (embodied), discarnate (transitioned from a embodied to a disembodied state through what is erroneously called "death") and non-carnate (energetic states of life that never crystallize into physical form). Application of the Faery Seership principles and techniques allows the student to reweave their awareness into the overall fabric of life and guiding vision of this planet of which we are a part. This re-weaving brings about deep healing of the sense of "abandonment" and "disconnection" that plagues humanity because of the gift of "individuation" and "free-will". Once this is healed, immense magical potential and healing is opened out of their inherent virtue.

This lesson helped illustrate to me that, indeed, we are only free when we are ALL free.

So long as one has the comforts they believe they need and want,and others suffer, you truly are not free, you are just using the system to your advantage.

Spiritual freedom is freedom as one whole people... and it's a goal worth working towards... and it starts, yes, only STARTS, with ones perception of what one is doing... the acknowledgement of participation in this system of modern human slavery, a prison without walls. It is a comfortable imprisonment which is why we indulge in it.

But freedom of the spirit is MUCH more fulfilling. But it requires trudging thru the desert which is a very uncomfortable journey.

Funny, it's about the journey and not the destination that is important. The trials make us and shape us. They may be difficult but we become a sharper, more sparkling diamond in the process.

Knowing this, why do I still eat junk food?

I knew that as I came to these levels of awareness I would become "shocked and appalled" at the decisions that others make. Well, I'm shocked and appaled at the decisions I still choose to make. I feel empowered when I make good decisions (like going to the gym) but bad when I choose to smother my meal with butter and barbcue sauce.

If my body is my temple and is the only thing I have to be responsable for in this life, why do I still treat it like crap? I guess there are still some lessons to learn.

/shrug

So... I am Wiccan. Wicca, witchcraft, witches... None of these things means the same thing to everyone. Everyone has their own definitions. I accept the title of Wiccan because my personal theology most matches it. But... I've never been happy with the lable witch. And my magic is more... Hmmm... personal, I suppose, than the "bubble and boil, turn and toil" of classic witchcraft, although I do do that too. My personal magic is born of love.

I don't really mind the labels. I mean, it IS just a label. But... due to my recent understandings, I have come to find a label that I am EAGER to wear. That of the lightworker.

I found a definition of it on a website.

What is a lightworker?

2 June 2007 - 10:02pm | Adeon

Lightworker: Any being dedicated to the cultivation of inner presence and the elevation of awareness in self and other selves. This being is called a lightworker and is an evolutionary step toward a state of "LightBeing"

What's happening in the world?
There is an awakening happening all around the world. And that awakening involves you and every being that exists on our lovely home planet, mother earth. We are truly entering a renaissance of spiritual evolution, an evolutionary process that proceeds and transcends the physical. Our wisdom stems from coming to understand how little we conceptually know about life, god, the universe and everything, and embracing the fundamental truth of inherent divinity within all life.

What is a Lightworker?
Everyone is a Lightworker whether they know it at all. Just as truth is truth whether anyone knows it or not. The real question arises then, "Am I aware of who I am?" Behind all labels, behind all self created illusions of mind and ego, or social dogmas and masks, there lies the truth, the answer to that question. Just as the Sun shines bright both day and night, it is only the movement of the planet and clouds that obscure it from view. But the sun is always shining. A Lightworker is awake to this truth, aware of their true presence and living in accordance with the divine plan. All beings that exist are a channel between eternal, formless heaven and the temporary world of form and illusion, earth. Why am I here? One does not always need to consciously realize the answer to this question, but living your life purpose is achievable in every moment, right now. Sit in peaceful contemplation, in pure awareness. Allow yourself to be present in every moment and feel within the depths of your heart for your inner truth, your guidance. The work is easy and the burden is light. Your true essence of being is so vast, it is beyond any concept, any word, thought or form. A Lightworker then is any being, who is aware of their true non-dual nature, their eternal "I Am" Presence and acting in accordance with it. A Lightworker is active in enlightenment, or in cultivating enlightenment.

What is Lightworking?
Just as the sun rises each morning, to shine its light into the world, so it is with lightworking. To walk upon the face of the planet lightly, light in spirit and bearing, and shine love, happiness, tranquillity and peace into the world. To calm the inner turmoil, to just be, and be at one with who you truly are, to love and honour life as an expression of divinity, to love all that is, that power some call god, and of course to love one and other unconditionally. In being true to the divine presense within all beings, and releasing all false thought forms, all masks and illusions, is the essence of lightworking. In this lightworking emanates love, happiness, joy, faith, hope and inspiration into the inner and outer world. This not only helps to awaken the lightworker, but also to awaken others to their own natural state. What can be called enlightenment, what may be called ascension. A Lightworkers divine mission then comes to life, as one enters the flow of creation and maintains the presence of awareness without being caught up in the turmoil of the creation. This is done in the service of all. For all beings (self included), all the time.

What does a Lightworker do?
All life exists for a sacred purpose. A Lightworker, that is a being, aware of their true presence, their inner awareness and non-dual nature then becomes a vehicle for divine activation. This role is a very simple and a natural one. When the illusionary self is dissolved into the true sense of being, the IAM presence, a being begins to shine and resonate this mandala field of pure state bliss. The transition starts from Lightworker to Light Being. This activation can occur anywhere, in any situation, in all places, roles and demographics, from the mother at home to the soldier in the military, even in the depths of the darkest regions of human nature this blossoming occurs. It can be slow, or instant. It has been this way for eternity. For all the people, all the time. All for one and one for all. This is the effortless state of being, devoid of all grasping, all seeking. This is existence under a blue sky, and bright sunshine, exposing all to the life giving energies of our divine source.

What is the Light Energy?
Light Energy has many names. Some names include, the oriental Chi, Yin and Yang, the Indian Prana, and the Greek Aether. The light Energy pervades all. It encompasses all things. It is of the source, but not the source. It is the flow itself. It is the essence of all things. The primordial essence of spirit before it manifest into form. It is from where all things emanate, and all things return. It is the stuff of stars and the stuff of souls. We see it, and experience it in this material world as both form/matter and energy vibration. We experience it as thought and emotions. All these things are waves on the primordial ocean, resonating in various frequencies. All energy is frequency, and all frequency is harmony. Everything before you now is connected through frequency. The sounds you hear.. Do Re MI Fa So La Ti DO.. to the light you see.. Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Magenta, Violet, RED, winding its way up through the frequencies. Even the course elements of matter are connected to this harmony H,He,Li,Be,B,C,N. Each is the same, just operating on a different frequency, at a different harmonic. All is Light.. All is Energy. And its master is divine consciousness. We are constantly, directing spirit into form, thought, actions and endeavours. The question arises. "From what level of consciousness to I create?" This will determine the results and experiences of life. Each being, operates in various levels of consciousness. Yet when creation emanates from the source itself, free from resistance and obstruction, divine will manifests. Heaven is made manifest on earth. The cards are stacked for growth and learning. We will be guided by angels or pushed by demons.

Where do I start?
Being a Lightworker is both very easy and very hard. How hard is it to be the real you? Are you prepared to let go of everything? Think of who you will be when all form and material life is gone. That is the real you. Are you prepared to forgive and release all? There is nothing you must do, it's all about what you no longer need to do. To stop hiding, to face the true awesome reality of who and what you are, free from all illusions. Are you a thinking, breathing, centered person? Do you control your ego, or does your ego control you? Do you live in a state of awareness or reaction? Where are you looking for your answers? Within or without? These are all serious questions we must contemplate and come to accept for ourselves.. To "Know Thy Self" beyond mind, beyond ego, beyond words is the first and only step.

Is there anything else I can do?
Once the flow of creation is embraced, great energy is released, life becomes the adventure it truly was meant to be. What needs to be done, will present itself in every moment. All that needs to be accomplished, resolved and understood, will be. Be present, be still within the vortex of creation, in humble awe. We are all children of the one source, we are all babes. Take time out, take it easy, awaken and reconnect within yourself at your own pace. Take nothing personaly. Meditation, practicing awareness, observing your thoughts and mind flow are all stages of re-awakening to your true enlightened nature. Allow it to happen just as a flower opens itself to the sunshine each day, so too will you blossom when the time is right. Remember, in this creative experience, this world of perpetual change and form, everything is a perfect manifestation in relation to the consciousness that is creating it. The world is a mirror. Every moment brings with it a perfect experience that is tailored by you, for you. Learn from it. For many, this can be a hard truth to face.

Are Lightworkers religious?
Lightworkers are not bound by any religion or ideology. If you are part of a religious organization then so be it. That's just perfect for you. But in this world of form, change is inevitable. Lightworkers are not a religious ideology. There is a vast difference between spirituality and religion. Many religions formed to assist the process of re-awakening in practitioners and adherents. They can all point the way, but only serve as tools and methods. The tools used to build the house, are not the house.

What about God?
There is no concept that can define God. That power some call God is the source of all. It is the over arching divine consciousness that guides and directs all life in form and non form. We know God by knowing our true selves. We do not need to consciously understand, rationalize or define God for God to be real. Like us, God Just IS. We accept there is great power in who we are, and the processes of how we each came to be. Yet each is free to formulate their own interpretation of what that power is, yet to do so may prove futile. HOwever we can come to understand aspects of God. LIke the fact that God pervades each and everyone of us, exists both within us, around us and is intricately connected to us. God works, with us and through us and for that we honor and love God through divine service and existing in a state of least resistance to God. We honor the process and honor our own role within it. To see through the illusionary nature of form and see clearly each and every beings, non dual nature. To see the God aspect in each other, and to love God.

What about Ascended Masters, Messiahs & Prophets?
Each are free to follow their inspirational hero's and teachers throughout history. And each should never fear to question, rationalize, or reason. But realize the ever changing nature of thought. Go within to the source for guidance. Believe what you will, but do so in deep consultation with the inner master. In Spiritual teachings you will surely find wisdom, in your questions you will find reason, and in your doubts, you will find learning and growth. But in awareness you will find the only perspective that truly matters.

Shine on. Love always.

I've always been an inherently happy and loving person. This, I feel, is the source of my strength. Maybe not the only source, but certainly the one I feel is strongest. What makes a person this way? Why, in the face of debt and near homelessness am I still happy? Why am I not depressed and overly stressed? Why does the light of my heart still shine even when sometimes I let myself slide into despondency?
It must be, simply, because I choose not to let it. I don't dwell on the negative feelings for too long. I recognize them and I process them and I make a choice to move back into light, love and happiness, despite my material and illusionary, circumstances. Knowing they are material and illusionary makes it easy. Sure I'd love endless money and a beautiful home. I'm workin on it! Just because you recognize the material illusions does not mean you should forego them! Just don't get wrapped up in them.

I do have so much to be grateful for, first and foremost my LIFE, which is my living, conscious, experience and I will not loose that until the day I die. Even when I do, I'll still have my higher consciousness which is the source of light and love.

When I was a child, I fell in love with the Disney movie "Pollyanna". I even went to the effort to find the book the movie was based on. I think I read it in two days. I had no idea that this movie would stick with me all my life. To this day, it still remains my FAVORITE movie. I just love it to death and I think I watch it at least once every two months. It's a move full of hope and love and joy and the kinds of healing (spiritual and physical) that love can bring.

I really enjoy You-Tube. I searched for "Pollyanna" and I found this little gem. I think it's my newest theme song. It makes me all tingly.

I know light and fluffy makes some people sick. /shrug. That's THEIR choice. I choose otherswise.
