Keep Searching, Choosing and Doing.....

We talked of paths and choices.  Now let us talk of dreams and desires.   Stop and think about that which you most desire.    Then work toward that desire but don't do as I have done and quit when the going gets tough.  I always hated those sayings like 'when the going gets tough, the tough get going'.  I probably hated them because they were mostly true.  Then there is the excuse which has some truth to it also that sometime we are too busy making a living, or just plain trying to live our lives, that we don't have time to put into our dreams.   I suppose that is when we need to just keep searching, choosing and doing.   Doing doing and doing.   So take a look at your dreams and if they are really something worth doing then do. 

The Paths we Choose...

Very little of what happens in our lives doesn't involve some measure of choice on our part.   and after all those double negatives all I'm saying is that we make a lot of choices about what and how we live whether we realize it or not.  Realization of this allows us to take full responsibility for ourselves.  Sometimes all it takes is a realization of who we are and what we want out of life.  Acknowledging that it is ok for us to be ourselves, to like what we like, to make decisions based on who we decide that we are.   It is ok to be ourselves.  It is ok to take the path we choose we just need to be aware that we are choosing it.  

The truth is out there.....

The other night while flipping through the channels on my friends television I came across a show on the paranormal on the history channel.   I don't know when this show was first presented but it had sections on ghosts, mediumship,  ufos, and life after death.  It struck me that if people really want answers to those questions in the era of 2012 there is a lot of information available.   Many of these questions are answered by individuals that have done a lot of very thorough research. 
And one does not have to take any of these as total truth.  One should always be discerning.
There are also a lot more information available.  And as Kryon has said, whether we wish to beleive it or not.  All scripture has been channeled.  These are the websites of just a few of those researchers and most of them say that they had questions like this originally and were very skeptical until after they began to get into their research.   
Here are just a few:

Trust in the connection.....

In the new energy when one takes on the spirituality that is not based on religion an individual will need to be able to trust in the their connection to God, the higher self, the Holy Spirit, the part of God that is within us.   And at least to those of us that have lived in this so called modern world this may be the most difficult part of it.  It is for me.   One can only set their intention....  Speak to God about it and try to go with the flow.   The story is told in the Old Testament how the Israelites were made to wonder in the wilderness for 40 days and 40 nights with no source of food except what was provided for them daily by God.  They had to depend on that for their food.  Could I go from day to day not knowing where I was going and how I was going to eat?  I am not sure.   and when I think about it, is that the way some street people live?  Is this what faith really is?  Am I learning to trust in my connection to God?  I hope so...

Interesting name, Golden Rule.

The Golden Rule is a perfect guide for living ones life and it is found in all major religions.

Christianity: All things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye so to them; for this is the law and the prophets.
      Matthew 7:1
Buddhism: Hurt not others in ways that you yourself would find hurtful.
      Udana-Varga 5,1
Islam: No one of you is a believer until he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself.
      Sunnah
Judaism: What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellowman. This is the entire Law; all the rest is commentary.
      Talmud, Shabbat 3id
Hinduism: This is the sum of duty; do naught onto others what you would not have them do unto you.
      Mahabharata 5,1517

Must be something to it if it is found in all of them.  Interesting name, Golden Rule.  

Children of God...

Last post we talked about expanding our definition and thoughts about God.   This time I want to encourage us to expand our definition about ourselves.   We are often told that humans were/are made in the image of God.   I believe it would be a little more accurate to say that we are made of the same stuff as God.   And that which makes us human is that not only are we made as the same stuff as God, we are also made of the same stuff as earth.   So we become a mixture of spirit and flesh tied together with the energy of God.   Not all of the energy of God because we would not be able to handle that but a spark, a flicker, contained in each of our DNA, of our Creator.   The Holy Spirit resides in our DNA and that is what makes our connection to Source.   We have never been encouraged to think of ourselves this way but it is becoming clearer that we should.  Children of God I think pretty well describes us.  Now the big job is claiming it.   

God is all that.... and more.

To the modern human the end and the beginning of the 365 day calendar is a completion of a cycle.  And so in that context we have just finished one such cycle, 2011 and began another, 2012.  At the beginning of this new cycle I would encourage you to expand your definition of God.  The problem we have had is that of making God in our image, which is basically the creation, in our own minds, of a super human figure, usually male and very old.   It is difficult to think outside of the human box to expand our definition of God but I would hope that it would make sense to do so to any human thinker.
We often talk about living forever.  It is a promise of heaven, it is supposedly what Vampires do.   So we are not unfamiliar of the concept.  But now, think of this 'forever' as having no beginning and no end.  Now think of the universe not as 'the universe' but of multiverses.....   numbered beyond human imagination, infinitely back in time and no end forward in the future.   God is all that.  And if God is all that, what does God do?  Make more of all that....  universes constantly created coming into being, others ending cycles and going back into 'all that'.  Energy constantly changing, forming, unforming but never dying.  God is all that......  In this new year I encourage you to expand your thinking a little.  God is too big for a single religion but as long as there are humans there will be humans trying to place God in a human size box.  A large one of course but still a human size box.   God is all that.... and more.
