For my German-speaking friends and students...

Egos leben in der Zeit, und da Zeit nichts Reales ist,
leben auch die Egos in etwas, das nicht real ist,
was bedeutet, dass Egos nicht real sind. Die Zeit
ist von Bedeutung für das Leben hier auf der Erde,
aber für die Ewigkeit hat sie überhaupt keine Bedeutung.
Die Engel leben in der Ewigkeit, und auch unser wahres 
Selbst lebt in der Ewigkeit,
im ewigen Jetzt.
-translated by Annegret Baumhardt ©2015

Egos live in time and since time is not real,
egos live in that which is not real, which
means egos are also not real. Time is
relevant to life on earth and not at all
relevant to eternity. Eternity is where
angels live. It is where your true self lives,
too, in the eternal now.

...and here are some of your classmates: Monika F. who of course hosts the angel work in Mainz, Germany, Jutta and her sister Christel, who host the angel work in Maulburg, Germany. We are smiling after eating sweet things on a little outing together.

Beautiful Time.

I took this photo in Christel's garden in Maulburg, Germany (Black Forest). We have been meeting there for -- it must 19 years (right?) for seminars. The seminar there this year was very very deep. Those who made the time to attend added so much to the weekend -- and benefited so much! It was an honor to serve you. See you there next year. Start planning now so you can have that weekend free (Sept 30-Oct. 8) right after the weekend in Oberwil (Sept. 23-29).

Enjoy Your Life! Yes!

Here is another link to another pumpkin pie latté and coconut milk whipped cream. Sweet treats for all you sweet hearts. Spirituality is about enJOYing your life. Yes!

The Red Tree

Monika and I just began our day with homemade Pumpkin Lattés and conversation about our last seminar in Maulburg. The red tree outside the window is shining as it always does, in rain, snow, or sun. The red tree is a great Teacher. It can teach us that we, too, can shine in all kinds of weather. It can teach us that our inner state is not dependent upon whether we are in the midst of storms or clouds or sun. The True Sun shines brightly from Within at all times. It is not that it is not always there; it is that we are not always aware of it. (Maybe the tree is more burgundy. You can't see its true colors here. View from Monika's balcony on the 2nd floor).

Your Face

What look is on your face right now? This is a good awareness exercise. All day we never see our own face, unless we look in a mirror, and then we see only ourself in reverse. Other people are looking at our face, as we look at theirs, but we can never see our own complete image in the way that others do, without a camera, a mirror, or some other reflection.

Relaxed awareness is the best place to live from. Right now this minute, how many muscles in your face do you think you are using to maintain tension, pain, fear, or sadness? How many muscles to maintain the image of who you think you are?

Without trying to necessarily change the look on your face as you go throughout your day, become aware of the muscles in your face. Become aware of the tension. Become aware. Not with the idea that you must look different, more attractive, or pleasing to someone else, but with the idea that tension hurts. Tense muscles use up energy.

What you become aware of begins to lose control over you. What you are not aware of controls you. 

I love those angelic words, don't you? The angels simply ask us to become aware. Trying to change, to be different, is so difficult. Here in our school we learn that you must only become aware of what causes you to suffer, to be in tension. The awareness itself begins to change us. Awareness does for us what we cannot do for ourselves. No one who becomes aware of a face full of tension will want to keep that face. Right?

Remember patience. Real change happens from the inside out. Maybe inner changes take a long time to show up on your face--maybe not--but what's important is what's changing on the inside. 

Much love now and always.

Maulburg, Germany Happy Days 2014

Greetings from Mainz, Germany & Special Homework

Hello Dear Students,

I have been staying here with your classmate, Monika, who is a Reiki Master, crystal healer and teacher. I have given two talks, a seminar, and many readings. I have also been doing my best to send you daily messages, with the changes in time zones and using another computer with a German keyboard.

A 4th class began the School on September 8th, but I see none of them have introduced themselves here in the Classroom. Still, they are here, just as you are here.

I have a question....have two lessons a month been too much for most of you? Do you prefer to receive only one lesson each month, along with your daily lessons? I thought, anyway, this is what I will begin doing now....for those of you who have been taking the lessons since the beginning. I can write many lessons, but perhaps you need more time to imbibe the deeper meanings and complete your homework.

Also, for those of you who have not kept up with the lessons....YOU have special homework....I would like you to give yourself a marathon weekend.....where you make a plan and take the time to read ALL of the lessons you have not read. Come on, you can do it! Think of your old days in school, where you waited until the last minute to study or cram for an exam.

Think of the weekends or days or hours which you spend being depressed, thinking negative thoughts, or doing silly (and also fun) things like watching old movies on television. If you can give yourself time for those things, you can give yourself time for your lessons.

Forget about understanding everything you read. You cannot possibly understand everything you read in the lessons right away. Understanding is a process of unfoldment. Just make a commitment, take a deep breath, plunge in, and read all the lessons you have not yet read.

Catch up!

This is a way to push out what is not essential to your happiness and fill up with what is essential to your happiness. Make a commitment to your spiritual upliftment. Your heart will be so happy. Your heart wants to live in truth and happiness. It is up to you to provide an environment of truth and light for your heart to live in, just like you provide a beautiful room for your children or family or yourself to live in.

No excuses now! The angels will be watching you! Put a smile on your face. Catch up on your lessons. Make yourself tea or coffee. Go for autumn walks when your mind gets too full. Come back and read some more. Watch what your mind does as you read. Watch it complain or think it knows more than your teacher. Watch it do the dull ordinary things it always does. Pay no attention to it. Just read your lessons.

When you read the last one, write and tell me that you have caught up. I will send you a gold star in your dreams and you will be filled with light.

Do it NOW. Make a deeper deeper deeper commitment to your own heart, to your spiritual path, to God, to the angels, and mostly to YOU. You will be glad you did.

All my love,

your teacher
