I Found Where God is Hiding...

I found where God is hiding and I know why God hides.  God hides within us and we have chosen it that way.   But once we know where to look, God is no longer hidden.  And when we realize that God is within, there is no need to turn to someone else, a religious authority perhaps, to tell us what to do, where to look, how to be. 
And how, you ask, can God be inside?  Well God, not all of God, is inside, but we are a creation of Source, God is Source.  God is infinitely more than we can conceive because we are finite beings on a small planet with free will somewhere in Universes that are all created by and are part of Source.  But I too, as so are you, also created by and are part of Source, we have just forgotten that here.  We are starting to remember.  And it is time to remember who we are and who God is.   It is time to remember that we are a drop of water in the ocean that is Source.  We are a grain of sand that is part of the beautiful beach that is Source.  But that ocean and that beach is not complete without yours and my drop of water and grain of sand.   And now that we remember that we are part of Source we have the option of bringing more of Source into and onto Planet Earth and ourselves.   It is going to be difficult to get past years and even lifetimes of programming that we are separate from God and less that the least.  But it only makes sense and you can have that epiphany just as I have had if you choose. 
We have been taught to greet our fellows with 'Namaste'.  Namaste, I see the God within you.  It might help to look into a mirror and greet yourself, Namaste, I see the God within.  If we learn to see God, that little piece of Source, in others and in ourselves, there won't be a need for division, for war.  
I had an epiphany, an ah ha moment, a great understanding.  I found where God is hiding.  God hides within you and me and the animals and the earth, and All that Is, just waiting for us to look.  Namaste...

They Will Keep Coming...

None of the planetary changes, or even the cultural changes will have much affect in the long run if we, the humans, don't face up to the challenges and changes taking place on our level.  I read and hear of the many challenges and changes on many levels that are taking place for individuals, families and even groups.  The challenges, the problems, the changes in our lives are a result of the balancing of negative and positive energy.  As with the planet, humans are balancing out the negative energies.  When you encounter problems in your life, look at them as part of the changes taking place.  Your part. 
Think in terms as your being here at this time and this place in history in order to clear up, heal your life, both for your soul's sake and for the planet itself.  What you do for yourself you do for the planet. 
Look at the problem.   Look at it as a challenge.  There are usually emotions involved.   Decide that the emotions are there to be felt and healed.  An intense emotion may take some work.  For example a lifetime of anger, or fear.  When the problems come up, face them, claim them, deal with them.  Deal with them, surrender them, and let them go.   
If you don't deal with them they will keep coming till you do.  

Facing Challenge and Change in a post 2012 World.

The days, months and years beyond 2012 are all about balancing polarity and the changes and challenges that come about because of the balancing process.  The process is actually happening faster than expected.  The old paradigms of religion and culture are starting even now to break down.  Corporate greed and the dominance of the wealthy class is being exposed and starting to crack.
You have been hearing, I’m sure, of the disclosures and whistle blowers that are filling the front pages and the television news stories.  Genetically modified foods, government surveillance of the people.  Even religious figures and politicians are being shown for what they are rather than what they appear to be.
When we hear these things often our reaction is ‘see I told you so’, or ‘oh no not another one’.   Or we get angry and self righteous.  This affirms all the conspiracy theories we have heard,  we might have a fear reaction that the government is out to get us now.  That is a big response to the growing firearm controversy in the USA.  These are truly all signs that the old negative structures are breaking down.
This breaking down of paradigms is happening on all levels.  There are galactic changes but those are too far away for most of us to notice them.
There are planetary changes.  This should be obvious; powerful storms, earthquakes, hurricanes, volcanoes, heat waves, long heavy winters, wildfires, glacial melting.  Have you heard about any of these in the news?These are all part of balancing of negativity.  Our lovely planet has been dug up, mined, warred upon, drilled to the point that it has to change.  It is changing.  But again recognize this for what it is.  Do not go into fear.  Make preparations or leave if you live in an area affected by these occurrences.
The cultural and individual changes and challenges we will talk about in subsequent writings.   Just remember this:  You are safe, you are not alone, and at least on a soul level you have chosen to be here. 

Taking Care of Yourself...

I am reading of so many individuals in pain and having negative symptoms. With the changes in energy this will continue to happen. So much is coming up to heal and our bodies and psyches are learning to live in the new energy.
I would like to present just a few ideas for your consideration to help with these negative symptoms. Take what you can use and forget the rest.
1. Much is happening now but we have chosen to be here. We are not victims.
2. Accept responsibility for yourself.
3. The negative symptoms are not fun but we can learn to handle them.
4. To handle negative emotions learn to sit with them for a time. Breath deeply at least three deep breaths. Allow yourself to feel the feeling as much as you can. If they appear to be overwhelming, feel them as long as you can and then do something to distract yourself and come back to it when you feel it again. When it feels better after sitting with and feeling the emotion, let it go.
5. Sometimes if the challenge is too much for you, you must seek assistance; Professional help, 12 step program, body work, more.
6. Pray, meditate, make contact with your guides, angels and most of all, your Higher Self.
7. Surrender, surrender, surrender....

I might also recommend the work of Dr. David R. Hawkins, Kryon, from Kryon.com and the work of Robert Schwartz.

Sometimes I Really Need Some Reminders...

I am currently reading a book that has a message that I needed to hear, again.  The book is PROOF OF HEAVEN, by Dr. Eben Alexander.    Dr. Alexander is a neurosurgeon who spent 7 days in a coma resulting from a rare case of bacterial meningitis.  He came out of the coma changed and with a message that he felt he had to share with the world.  There is a lot more to the book but the main message is:  "You are loved and cherished, dearly, forever.  You have nothing to fear." and interestingly enough, "There is nothing you can do wrong".   He reminds us of who we really are and that God, while being more than we can imagine, is truly personal and loves all of creation including you and I.  It is these reminders that I need the most.  I seem to need the reminder that it is okay to be me at whatever level of consciousness I am at, today or ever.  If you are in need of assurance, reminders of who you are, or even just have a great summer read I recommend this book.  Dr. Alexander has a website and the book is very accessible.  The kindle edition was very reasonable.

The Sacred Future...

I wish to present a webpage that is well worth a read.  It is a part of Starhawk's web page and it is an updated section from her novel, THE FIFTH SACRED THING.  In the novel she outlines a vision  of the city of San Francisco that could very well be a blueprint for a sustainable future for the human race.  This small example about energy: 
"The city has abundant sources of renewable energy. The tides and currents that flow under the Golden Gate turn huge generators that provide a major source of electrical power. It is supplemented by solar panels on roofs, wind generators, including many that hang from colorful balloons suspended above the rooftops, and others that crown the supports of the bridges that span the bay."
The book is an excellent read.  The abbreviated webpage is well worth a look as a blueprint for the future.  THE FIFTH SACRED THING

A Visit from a Chickadee...

I stepped out onto my balcony to look at something when I heard a noise.  At first I couldn't tell where it was coming from.  It sounded like a bird had banged into a window.   I looked around and saw inside my apartment a bird on the inside of the window trying to get out.  I went inside and caught the bird and as I went toward the open balcony door it slipped out my fingers and flew out into the forest.  My dog was going crazy....
It was a little beauty of a bird and it left before I could photograph it.  As a totem the chickadee talks about communication and how to use our voice.  It teaches us about flexibility and curiosity.  I think my little visitor must have been a very curious little one.  Chickadee also is considered the bird of truth and one of my favorite places on the internet, Linsdomain, states it this way:   

"Truth can be shared in a way that adds joy to everyone’s lives." I wonder.  Can that be Chickadee's message to me, or to you? http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/chickadee.htm

I Had a Steller Day Yesterday...

I had a steller day yesterday, in more ways than one.  From my balcony window I saw at least 6 species of birds, a deer, and squirrels.  Earlier in the day on a walk with a friend in her neighborhood we saw 4 deer.  For someone like myself seeing this wildlife in the city really made my day.  I’m not very fond of people, although I suppose I have learned to live with them.  I also know that I would probably not enjoy living without other people.
There do not seem to be many like me, who love the wild things.   This is the reality I have created for myself.  It is a reality which makes me happy.  It gives me joy.  Those deer represent gentleness, love, and compassion.
“Deer teaches us to be gentle, to touch the hearts and minds of wounded beings who are in our lives. Don't push people to change, rather gently nudge them in right direction, with the love that comes from deer. Love and accept people as they are. The balance of true power lays in love and compassion.”
I had a steller day yesterday.  5 deer, chickadees, gold finches, stellar’s jays, towhees, crows and hummingbirds.  I love the wild things.  They give me happiness and joy. 

You are my Sunshine... A little boy's song...

I have no idea where this story originated or if it is true.  It doesn't matter.  I believe in miracles.
Read it if you want to feel good.  Maybe it will help you or reinforce your belief in miracles. 

"Like any good mother, when Karen found out that another baby was on the way, she did what she could to help her 3-year-old son, Michael, prepare for a new sibling. They found out that the new baby was going to be a girl, and day after day, night after night, Michael sang to his sister in Mommy's tummy. The pregnancy progressed normally for Karen, an active member of the Panther Creek United Methodist Church in Morristown, Tennessee. Then the labor pains came. Every five minutes ... every minute. But complications arose during delivery. Hours of labor. Would a C-section be required?

Finally, Michael's little sister was born. But she was in serious condition. With sirens howling in the night, the ambulance rushed the infant to the neonatal intensive care unit at St. Mary's Hospital, Knoxville, Tennessee. The days inched by. The little girl became worse. The pediatric specialist told the parents to prepared for the worst.

Karen and her husband contacted a local cemetery about a burial plot. They originally fixed up a special room in their home for the new baby - now they planned a funeral.

Michael kept begging his parents to let him see his sister, "I want to sing to her," he said. Week two in intensive care. It looked as if a funeral would come before the week was over. Michael kept nagging about singing to his sister, but kids are not allowed in Intensive Care. Karen made up her mind. She decided to take Michael whether they like it or not. If he didn't see his sister now, he may never see her alive. She dressed him in an oversized scrub suit and marched him into ICU. He looked like a walking laundry basket, but the head nurse recognized him as a child and bellowed, "Get that kid out of here now! No children are allowed. The mother in Karen rose up strong, and the usually mild-mannered lady glared steel-eyed into the head nurse's face, her lips a firm line. "He is not leaving until he sings to his sister!"

Karen towed Michael to his sister's bedside. He gazed at the tiny infant losing the battle to live. And he began to sing. In the pure hearted voice of a 3-year-old, Michael sang: "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine, you make me happy when skies are gray --- " Instantly the baby girl responded. The pulse rate became calm and steady. "Keep on singing, Michael." "You never know, dear, how much I love you, Please don't take my sunshine away---" Her strained breathing became smoother.

"Keep on singing, Michael." "The other night, dear, as I lay sleeping, I dreamed I held you in my arms..." Michael's little sister relaxed as healing rest seemed to sweep over her. "Keep on singing, Michael." Tears conquered the face of the bossy head nurse. "You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. Please don't, take my sunshine away."

The next day--the very next day--the little girl was well enough to go home! Woman's Day magazine called it "The Miracle of a Brother's Song." The medical staff just called it a miracle. Karen called it a miracle of God's love."

Earth Guardians....

I have written before about youth that are being born with much more awareness than the generations who came before.  Often they appear as prodigies and are recognizable by their intensity and even at a young age, their abilities.   Here is a group of those youth.  There are more, they are all over, they are all ages.  Look for them, give them support and assistance. 
This group is Earth Guardians:

Keepers of the Secrets Know...

There is magic in the air.  And changes abound.   A South American dictator dies, Barack Obama keeps his presidency for another 4 years.  Horrible school shootings have started an amazing dialogue about firearms and mental illness.   A pope resigns and the new one is not from Europe.  There are still wars and many states, countries, and cities have financial problems. 
Many looking at these goings on would say that things are getting worse, that good ole mother earth and her greedy humans were on the fast track to hell.  But I want to remind you.  If you start to think that thought, that all is going to hell in a handbasket, cancel it.   Cancel the thought and replace it with the thought that this is all part of the birth of a new way.  The old ways will fight for their existence but they are on their way out.  Look for the positive things.  There is Magic in the air.   Which is the message of the crow and raven.  They are keepers of secrets but they know.  The changes are positive.  You will see...

Just a little light.....

Its only March but it seems like its been a long winter.   In the east and midwest lots of snow, in the northwest lots of rain and dark, grey days.  I get tired of the grey days, the days without sunshine.  But I have to remember that I sometimes have to supply the light.  Just a little light is all it takes. and sometimes that inner light is all you can find.   In the darkness all it takes is turning on a light, however that is done and the darkness goes away.   That is how easy it is to make the darkness go away.  Darkness on its own has no power.  Darkness cannot come into a lighted room and chase away the light.  But any little light, a match, a candle, even a cell phone, chases the darkness away.   Allow your light... the beautiful light that is in you, all of you, to chase away the darkness.  You can't imagine how much light that puts into the world, each of us... just a little light...

The Message of Hummingbird...

The hummingbird is such a beautiful little flying flower that the message they bring is one of pure joy.  Just think what it would be like if our life consisted of being a most accomplished flyer, showing off our beauty and tasting sweetness all the time.   A lot of humans try for that don't they.  Hovering, flying backwards, performing amazing aerial stunts, and seeking sweet nectar for food and nourishment, that is the life of a hummingbird.   A very wise young man recently remarked how difficult it is to 'remember to be happy'.  If a hummingbird has crossed your path lately think a little about the joy in your life and think about how you can make it a little more joyful for yourself and someone else.  Often that is when we feel the most joy when we are making someone else happy. 
And let the beautiful little hummingbird remind you to remember to be happy.  Choosing happiness and joy is easy and simple.  We simply have to remember to do so.   

Soar High My Friend...

Today my friend had a wonderful up close encounter with a wild eagle.  This is for him.   

"The eagle is symbol of the zenith.
A great reminder of your own ability to soar to great heights... 

Those with an Eagle totem need to have an involvement with creation;...

Its four-toed feet remind you to stay grounded even went soaring high;
Its talons remind you to grasp the things of the earth;
Its sharp beak shows you when to speak, how much, and how strongly.

This totem will show you opportunities and how to ride the winds to your benefit.
Eagle people can live in the realm of the spirit
yet still remain connected and balanced within the realm of the Earth."

Thank you for this to:   http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/eagle.htm

Soar high my friend!!!

The Message of Deer...

The message of deer from:
http://www.linsdomain.com/totems/pages/deer.htm

"Deer teaches us to use the power of gentleness
to touch the hearts and minds of
wounded beings who are in our lives."

And my friends do not forget to use the power of gentleness on yourself.  

There Comes a Time for Silence....

There comes a time when the speaking stops and one can only just be.  Words fail even now.  One makes choices, asks for assistance, tries to be open, allows and then watches.   If you are open and observe you will see what comes up ‘to be looked at, understood, surrendered, recontextualized, healed and forgiven’.  This is what I have been doing instead of writing, instead of ‘speaking’.  I will share things as I feel they need to be shared, if they might help you on your path.  Sometimes I will share some of my nature images.   If you have a question, want to contact me, use sparowhwk@gmail.com.  If I have updates or something of interest to share it will be here.  I am grateful to all who have followed these ramblings.   There really is something to ‘ask and you shall receive’.  If you have asked and thought you hadn’t received maybe you just weren’t looking.  Namaste and espavo.

There is no turning back....

It doesn't matter whether you believe that we have turned a corner in consciousness.   It does matter the decisions you make.   "The attainment of wisdom is slow and painful, and few are willing to relinquish familiar views (even if they're inaccurate);  resistance to change or growth is considerable."  (POWER VS. FORCE by David R. Hawkins, M.D., Ph.D.
However, if you make the decision, and truly intend to change there is no turning back.  

Love, Allow, Forgive

Choose Loving, Allowing, Forgiving.

Angels Among Us...

Our news media seems to have a bit of an obsession of reporting on all the negative things in our world.  In an effort to change this and in his own words 'Uplift The Human Spirit by Shining A Light On The Best of Human Behavior.'  Mr. John Shimer has started the Angels Among us Project.  He has just put out a book about one such angel and has started a website where any one can nominate 'a human angel'.   It is a very positive idea so I recommend taking a look at the website.  You can read about the most recent angels among us stories and nominate your own.

Someone Must Do It First...

It seemed that it was all of a sudden, but maybe it was one of those times when life creeps up on you and everything just comes together and seems to make sense.   What you know makes sense but you don't have the mechanisms down yet.  You can't just flip a switch or snap your fingers so now what?
"If we are truly who and what we say that we have become, this time in history is our opportunity to demonstrate our becoming.  Someone must do it first.  Someone must interrupt the cycles of thought and  belief that have allowed the disease, hunger and killing in the first place.  These patterns are part of us.  They originated within us, from among us, and that is precisely where the change must occur."
WALKING BETWEEN THE WORLDS  Gregg Braden
"Someone must do it first."  I must do it first.  You must do it first?

A Good Read...

Are you up for a good mystery thriller with some metaphysics and spirituality added in for good measure?  Tenzing Norbu is a detective in Los Angeles formerly a Buddhist monk.  After getting shot in the first chapter, Ten, as he is called, leaves the police dept and opens a private detective agency.
With lots of twists and turns, a '65 restored shelby mustang, and some characters you really want to love as well as some pretty nasty ones this is one good read.  Tenzing Norbu, Dharma detective, uses what he learned as a monk to do his detecting.   And he throws in some words of the Buddha for good measure.  Written by Gay Hendricks and Tinker Lindsay this is excellent read.  Gay Hendricks has published books and taught body-mind therapies and relationship transformation.  There is a second Tenzing Norbu book called THE SECOND RULE OF TEN.   

Healing Journey...

Choosing to pursue ones own healing, choosing to pursue ones own understanding of Spirit, right and wrong, the way life works, are all freeing activities.  Fear and anxiety, and diseases both mental and physical, are all telling us there are things in our lives that need to be looked at.   Choosing to Look at these begins the healing that will free us from them.  It is possible that our families, our religion, our peers, have influenced our beliefs to the point that our beliefs may be bad for us and unless we recognize this and look at them and release them, some of them and what results from them can affect our entire life.   The healing journey that we embark upon can be beneficial in many ways but it may save our life...   

Be Gentle with our Mother...

Summer sunset, reds, oranges, fading to purples and pinks
Stately trees, leaves swaying in the breeze
You only see the deer when it moves
The owl when it flies

Rain forests disappearing with all they hold
for a few pieces of charcoal
pasture land

Glaciers breaking
so that polar bears have no place to go
Water levels rising
and some humans will have no place to go

Humans I implore
Be gentle with our Mother
There is no other...

Revolutionary ideas about disease process.

This is quite revolutionary information but there is no investment on who believes it or not. Read it and ponder it.  See how it feels for you.   All over the media these days we get news stories about ‘the flu epidemic’ how there has been a spike in certain cancers and many other stories that are considered news about disease.    At the same time the pharmaceutical companies are advertising their great breakthroughs in prescription medication.  Often in these commercials a disease is described in great detail.  The news and the medication commercials intend to educate us in order to prevent illness and alleviate the suffering caused by them and at least in the case of the pharmaceutical companies to sell a lot of medication and make a great deal of money.   Having heard these news reports and pharmaceutical commercials our minds are now programmed to accept specific belief systems.  
Our mind is programmed with the belief that now we have an awful and very dangerous illness that is moving across the country taking out all kinds of human lives in its wake.   And in the commercials we are being programmed that there is a terrible disease out there, out to get us, if we don’t get this particular medication.   The mind has picked up on the diseases, terrible things with terrible symptoms and at the moment we do not have these conditions and even if we did we couldn’t afford the medication, or our insurance company would not pay for it and deep in our psyche there forms unconscious guilt.  Guilt for not suffering along with the others, guilt for not having taken care of ourselves so that we are now vulnerable to this terrible disease, guilt for not having money to pay for the medication and the care we need for these terrible diseases.   This unconscious guilt grabs on to the belief systems that have been placed in our minds by the news and the commercials and starts an impairment in our energy flow.  Eventually, especially if we hear these news stories and pharmaceutical commercials over and over again, the energy becomes blocked in various places along the acupuncture meridians and we have the beginnings of a disease process.   All because our mind picked up on disease information through the news and the pharmaceutical ads.   Sometimes these processes in our system break out into full blown disease, sometimes it takes a long time, sometimes it never happens.  But the possibility that these things we hear and see latch on to us and give us belief systems and bring up guilt is a very Interesting idea don’t you think.   And add to that the problems with self healing is the fact that most of us have little idea just how powerful our mind is and how it works.     
Think about it...

Experiencing...

For a condition, a feeling, an emotion, a challenge or even just an experience that you want to clear or get through try this from Dr. David Hawkins HEALING AND RECOVERY:    "Welcome experiencing what you are experiencing in a very radical way and at the same time... cancel the thought form and belief system, and choose the energy field of Love, which heals." 

January 15, 2013...

January 15, 2013.  Well we made it through 2012 and look around... I don’t see any peace on earth.  The wars are just as bad, the murders are still happening, and, Oh, the weather...  The snowstorms are getting bad enough that the weather channel is naming them like we humans have named the hurricanes for how long now?  The weather is crazy...  See this new age was all a bunch of baloney...
Are you thinking this way?  Have you ever planted seeds... Crops, flowers, vegetables?
After you worked the ground, dug the hole, planted the seeds, tapped the dirt over them and watered them... Did you go out the next morning and expect to see your crops, a flower, a vegetable ready for the dinner table?  No, of course not.  After you have prepared the ground and planted the seeds it takes time for the plants to grow, and even then you have to protect the plants, keep them watered, tended them to keep the weeds from taking over.
Just because you don’t see the wondrous world without war, the golden age of healing, doesn’t mean it’s not there.   It is there being birthed, being grown, being nurtured .  Be of good heart... know the new world is coming... closer and closer then ever...  Keep on keeping on....

Some Thoughts on Fear... and Courage

Courage is doing something you don’t want to do or are afraid to do.   Not wanting to do something doesn’t necessarily mean you are afraid to do it.   Choice means you can decide for yourself if you want to do something whether it is something you simply don’t want to do or are afraid to do.   In both instances you weigh the positive results against the negative results and then make your decision.  It is said that if you are afraid of something to ‘feel the fear and do it anyway’.  Good advice but you may need to decide what you are actually feeling. 
Anxiety and worry are forms of fear.  Anxiety and worry are both the fear of something that may or may not happen and in fact, may or may not even be real.  If you can recognize something as fear try to get into the feeling.  The more you can feel the feeling the more you will face the fear and and start to release it.   If life doesn’t seem to be working for you or there are some things you want in life and you haven’t been able to get those things you might want to consider assessing yourself to see if there is a fear that is holding you back.   And remember... anxiety and worry are forms of fear also.     

Are you on a Spiritual Path...

From WALKING BETWEEN THE WORLDS one of Gregg Braden's earlier works:
"From my perspective, we are capable of only spiritual activity.   Life is a spiritual endeavor.  As varied and diverse as each path may seem, I believe with the power of my entire being, that each path is leading to the same place.  Without exception, I believe that each life, every death, all of the hurt, all of the joy and each experience in between, brings us closer to the same whole, to the same One.  Our relationships are not separate from our spiritual evolution.  Our relationships are our spiritual evolution." 

Some Insights on Love and Fear...

Some insight on Love and fear from Neale Donald Walsch and God.  From CONVERSATIONS WITH GOD Book 1:
"God knew that for love to exist--and to know itself as pure love---it's exact opposite had to exist as well.  So God voluntarily created the great polarity--the absolute opposite of love--everything that love is not--what is now called fear.  In the moment fear existed, love could exist as a thing that could be experienced.  ....   What you most fear is what will most plague you.  ...  All your holy scriptures--of every religious persuasion and tradition which you have created --contain the clear admonition:  fear not.  Do you think this is by accident?  
The laws are very simple.
1.  Thought is creative.
2.  Fear attracts like energy.
3.  Love is all there is."
Pretty powerful stuff.  Don't you agree?  Thank you Neale... and thank you God...    

It Takes Courage to Forget Who You Are...

It takes a lot of courage to choose to be a human.  It takes a lot of courage to choose to forget that you are a part, actually a piece, of the universe, of God.  At times when you are down, discouraged, depressed, and you are judging yourself as broken and not very good at this human thing, allow yourself to remember that Heaven is applauding you and sending their love to you.   You are not weak.  It takes strength to be born on earth, to even survive here.  And if you ever think you are not important remember that your actions affect the planet, and you are here for a reason, and what you do for yourself you do for the planet and all that live upon her.
“You are of infinite worth and immeasurable importance, your healing radiating to the far corners of the universe.  Anything less is fiction.  Anything else belies your magnificence.”  YOUR SOUL’S GIFT by Robert Schwartz. 

In the Dark Days of Winter Prepare for the Light ...

in the dark days of winter let us contemplate
our place in the universe. 
in the quiet of a winter’s night
peer deep into the darkness until you can see the web that connects us all.
silently allow yourself to look within
let the thoughts of fear, anxiety, anticipation and concern
pass on by, let them go... you don’t need them..
wait, what is that light?  like a gossamer web of light it surrounds you
some of the strands, light, bright, pulsing connect to you and then move off into infinity
surrounding you, some close some far, other lights, all connected,
all attached to the great strands of life that connect everything
Listen now... do you hear it... the music of the spheres
angels singing, life breathing, God breathing, in and out...
the harmony of the heart, your heart, the earth’s heart, the heart of God
See that light off in the distance, the outlines of a city
appearing covered by the great gossamer web of life is the new earth
healed, green, her great wounds gone
When summer comes remember this great vision
tell your children, teach them how to see this vision
so they have hope
and can prepare for the great light of summer...

It is Time...

It is time...  to develop your vision of a world without war, a planet healing from over use and abuse, developing old and new sources of sustainable unlimited clean energy, the basic human needs of food, shelter, clean water, and safety being met.  What can you do?  Do you have or know of a child who may be the one to solve the earth’s most pressing problems?     It is time...

Nothing That is Flawed...

Two short quotes from Robert Schwartz' YOUR SOUL'S GIFT are very poignant and impactful.
"There is nothing that is flawed or to be fixed."  and "Part of the process of re-membering is to understand one's full responsibility for the creation of one's own life and to stop making such self-judgements."
The challenges and the bliss that we encounter in our lives has been created, drawn to us, for a reason.   We did it that way... We created it... Yes even the challenges.   It is not an easy concept to grasp but if we can simply start taking responsibility for all in our lives... the positive AND the negative then we can start doing something about it.  If we created it we can un create it.  If we have created something wonderful... we can create more of that...There is nothing in our lives that is flawed.  It is perfect the way it is...  Don't judge yourself for challenges in your life, celebrate it for being there to remind you who you are as a spirit having an experience in a body.  

Three Ideas for Good Living...

A advertising but uplifting email from JJ Virgin, weight loss and nutrition guru gave three things she had learned in 2012.  They are good for everyone, regardless if you are trying to lose weight or just trying to make life work.  She has quite an interesting personal story and some interesting weight loss ideas.  You can find that information on her website www.jjvirgin.com.  The three things she shared about living:
Take care of your Health.
Be Grateful.
Forgive Quickly.  

God is LIfe, God is Spirit...

God is Spirit.  There is spirit in and through all things.  God is All.  God is dead?  Maybe the god of old, the old man in the sky, that looks a lot like father time, is dead, but God, the God that is All is not dead.   God is Life.   God is Spirit.  When you are down, feeling alone, just think of Spirit surrounding you in any way that you want to picture it.  It will surround you, with love, with support.   God is always there because God is All and God is Love.  My wish for your New Year is that you find and meet and get to know this God, The God of all.  Spirit...
