Nothing is happening. Nothing ever happened. The world is a dream. Nothing is real, only this moment, right now. There is no past. There is no future to fear or even prepare for, even though we must prepare. Everything is happening now. Everything just is. It is not good or bad. Each past moment falls away like the skin of a snake and each moment I emerge new and fresh, untouched by anything that happened since the past is only a dream.
When the pain gets to be too great, AND we do nothing about the pain from the old ego self - when we do nothing to relieve the pain with our old ways, the old 'me' vanishes. The more we try to resolve/solve/dissolve the pain from our old ego nature, the more the pain grows. There must be a complete letting go, the realization that ‘I’ can do nothing; only then with this surrender can a higher force come in and do for us what we could not do for ourself.
Now is okay and always has been. Now is all that will ever be in the ‘future.' There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to regret. Fear and regret, panic and anxiety, depression and loneliness, are all tools, tricks, of the ego. They just do not exist if we do not accept them as real.
Everything in this world is temporary so there is no need to be in panic or fear. Everything changes. We make the mistake of thinking that the transient is real, forever, and permanent, and that causes pain. It is not real. The world is maya, a waterfall always changing before our very eyes, and our physical eyes do not see with spiritual sight, only the spiritual eye can see what is real, the ONE eye, the I.
Hi there...
ReplyDeleteThank you Indira!
Today I was going to ask you for an impulse... and when I came into the classroom, you already gave it. :-)
(still noticing miracles.)
I have been stuck with "old stories and pains" lately and looking at it in different ways, I found, I wanted to do some healing on the births I gave and also on my own birth.
But then again, I thought that the soul or the real me can never be harmed/injured, can it? So if I worked on healing of an "outer" part of myself - what would it be for? Wouldn`t I try to heal Ego?
In a way I found that I have made Ego to sort of an enemy - and that is not love, not my true self.
I can see my ego self wanting to debate that with me... and sometimes I do, other times a deeper "me" stops: there is nothing do debate about.
So I am just looking at it now. And thankfully taking in your words.
Thank you all here for sharing your thoughts... it is always such great impulses, reminders,... to me!
Have a beautiful day!
Love - Petra
These past few weeks I have had trouble shutting out the pain so that I can fall asleep at night.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing that helps me to fall asleep is to listen to an angel CD that I have that calls upon each of the arch angels individually for help and when I am listening to the CD the only moment that I am in is 'now' because I am in the presence of the angels and I am able to feel calm and nurtured and able to put my worries for myself and my loved ones into the hands of God's messengers, the angels, and that is a form of surrender for me even tho I don't think of it as surrender at the time. I just think of it as help.
So when I read your words Indira that say
"There must be a complete letting go, the realization that ‘I’ can do nothing; only then with this surrender can a higher force come in and do for us what we could not do for ourself"
I know it is true, even tho my pain does feel so real and doesn't feel like it is a dream.
Petra, helped me when you said that "the soul or the real me can never be harmed/injured". When you said that it helped to validate what I tell myself when I worry so much about my granddaughter losing her mother and the grief that I know she and my son are feeling. While I am at work, my mind is off of the worry, but when I get home in the evenings my worry becomes so great that my stomach has terrible pain.
And I want the pain to go away, and then I remember that Kahlan and James soul, the real them, can never be harmed, and the pain in my stomach eases.
I am so grateful for you all, and this school, and Indira, and the angels, and for these truths.
Love,
Mary Birdsongs
Dear Judy
ReplyDeleteI read this text over and over again. It makes my mind and my ego speechless:) Thank you so much!
Lots of Love

Ruth,
ReplyDeleteYou have read and heard these words with your heart. The angels always say,
"Unless the heart is open and receptive, knowledge is dry and useless. Even if we have an answer for every question, even if we know so many things, it is of little value until it has been received by the heart. The heart has the power to transform mere knowledge into a priceless pearl of wisdom."
Thank you for reading the text over and over again. They are not mere words. And they are my actual experience.
I write in my unpublished angel book about the mind being "stunned into silence." When the mind is stunned into silence, or as you so poetically put it, "makes my mind and ego speechless" it means you have listened with your heart.
Keep Listening. With your Heart.
Mary Bird Song,
ReplyDeleteAll the flowers in all the fields rise in the morning sun and eventually fade away and more come to see the light of day and they too pass away.
What remains is what never is born and never dies.
There is so much learning ahead for you. Learning is joy and so there is so much joy ahead for you. You are in the right place to find the truth you seek.
When someone is here, love takes the form of a physical relationship with that person -- and manifests in many different ways, through many emotions.
When a person vanishes from physical form, love doesn't know what form to take anymore, so in its confusion, it takes the form of pain.
Just stay on your path. Remember that the river of grief has its own intelligence. It knows the way, even when you do not. It is a healing river. Do your best to do nothing from your false nature (ego) -- everything done from the false nature only increases the false nature and so increases pain.
Do you best to let what is be. Trust that the river knows the way. Sink into the river and let it float you to healing, to safety, to absolute trust, in God's time and design, not ours.
Try to see the difference between what your ego mind creates and what is real.
Someone died. You are here. This is so. Someone died. You are sad. This is so. Someone died. There is much to take care of. This is so. Someone died. It changes things. This is so. Someone died. Your life is different. This is so. Someone died. You miss her. This is so. Someone died. Other lives are changed. This is so.
Someone died. You must go into fear and worry. This is not so.
Follow the simplest path possible now. Ask the angels to show you the step to take. Take that step. All you must do is take one small step at a time. Do not go into fear or worry and so make the grief worse. Do not fear and worry because the step you think should be there is not there. Just wait till the right step appears and take it.
Thank you Judy for being here!
ReplyDeleteI send you a big hug
Ruth
Dear Indira,
ReplyDeleteI have been carrying, in my heart, the words that you and the angels gifted to me in this post.
Today, when I have felt lost and scared and wondered what I was going to do about getting moved to Rogers, I became aware of my fear and worry, and stopped myself and remembered what you said about just sink into the river and let it float you to healing and to just wait till the right step appears and take it. And also to ask the angles to show me the step to take. I have asked them. I trust they will answer.
I am especially grateful that you said "do not fear and worry because the step you think should be there is not there". That is a big one for me and something I really needed to hear. Because everyday I am going to my email to check my application status on the job at Mercy Hospital where they said they are actively considering me along with other applicants and may call for an interview. That was almost a week ago and I have heard nothing and was going into total fear of "what if I never get a job in Rogers".
My husband and I went to Rogers this weekend and kept the baby with us overnight at our hotel. She was much improved over last weekend. More content, less worried, and much happier, which I was so grateful for. Although she still doesn't want me out of her sight when I am there.
On Sunday we took baby Kahlan to Tiffany's sister's house and Tiffany's mom came over to visit also. It was good to spend time with them. While we were visiting, Kahlan would look to be sure I was still there. I was glad I got to spend so much time with her.
After the visit, I took her back home and rocked her sleep, then left to come back to Tulsa. It was so hard to leave her. But I knew she would be fine when she woke up and saw her dad. She has really become a daddy's girl. It is so sweet to see. Also I knew she would be going to Samantha's house on Monday while James is in class, and she loves being with sam who is young like her mommy that she misses so much. Samantha is going to sign up to go to baby activies with Kahlan, like toddler games at Gymboree and story time at the library.
James is doing better also. Thank you all for your healing thoughts and prayers.
Love,
Mary Birdsong
Mary Birdsong, I wish your gentle nature continues to grow and nourish your little granddaughter through the years.
