Hellow fellow students and Indira,

Well once again I have been missing from the classroom. So today I decided to stop doing other things and just spend time with the lessons I have been meaning to read. What i discovered is that I am never missing from the school. As I read the lessons, there were certain things that I have been doing, as if someone had wispered them in my ear. Things I would clearly never think to do on my own. But as I read the lessons ( and here I must come clean and say that I read three lesson together), it becomes clear, why those things would be helpful and uplifting. As I read lesson 13, I became nervous about creating an angle box. I want it now and I want to start using it now. I want to make my own box; one that is just exactly the way I want it, but I don't really believe I have the ability to do this. I think this is a metaphor for my life right now. I want to create the life I want, but am afraid I can't do that. love and light to all. Annie

Hello !

I arrived last night back in LA and would like to send a hello to everyone. Exited to be back and to print my lesson 13.

My cats are very happy to have us back and relax in the suitcases.

And yes Indira bless the AC founder.The cold air in switzerland cleaned my brain and my lungs and to be here in LA seems like a shock.

happy weekend

Gratitude

Some things I am grateful (great full) for today:

• a small black kitty I am nursing....who needs a home.
• my little dog snuggled beneath my covers with me.
• the sun filtering through the pale green curtains.
• the hum of the air conditioner which keeps me cool in the blazing heat of L.A.
• whoever invented air conditioners.
• all of you who exist out there walking a path of truth.
• the glass of ice water beside me.
• the hot tea waiting for honey...I make tea in a little coffee machine...and it just boils itself and waits for me,
• the blue and white cup I drink tea from.
• the silence of this moment.

Yesterday evening I drove to work (our new location) and had to park in a new place. Because I was not fully aware, I turned into the wrong parking area (they also do not mark it clearly). Once in, I couldn't get out without a token, which I did not have! I finally located someone at an adjacent parking structure who said I had to pay $5.00 for a token (even though I did not want to park, but to leave). I thought this was unfair and I was fuming . He also gave me a # I could call later to complain. I had to go back to my car to get my purse (which I never leave in the car, but had this time). While I was walking to my car a woman was driving out of the lot. She rolled down her window and handed me a token (she gets them free since she is an employee). You could say I was rescued by angels. You could say that was always the end of the story. I accepted I would have to pay $5.00, but not without a struggle and feeling indignant. And my struggle and indignation were never necessary. Had I taken my purse with me, I would have paid the $5.00 right away. Because I left my purse in the car, I had to go back for it, and the kind lady gave me the token. It reminds me of the beautiful Bible verse: Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Luke 12:27

The music keeps becoming

more free

more freeing

more enlightening

more enchanting.

Question & Answer

I see that a quiet student, way in the back has raised her hand. Her 1st question is, does she have to give her name? "No, no," I reply. "Though obviously you did not read the Introduction I posted." (She has the grace to blush). "But that's okay," I tell her. "You don't have to read anything you don't want to."

Q: "I hope my question is not too silly and unspiritual. I want to know if nature spirits really exist, and if they are actually part of the angelic kingdom?"

A: "I love your question" (I tell her). "I write a lot about that in my book. Nature spirits absolutely exist and, yes, they are part of the angelic kingdom."

Q: "But I can't see them, so what use are they to me?"

A: "The angels of nature are of a LOT of use to nature. And without nature, plants, trees, fruits, vegetables, and flowers, we could not exist in our human forms. Anyway, there are lots of things you cannot see, which are still of use to you."

Q: "Like what?"

A: "Like love. Like the scent of flowers. Like your body when you are sleeping (unless you are astral projecting, but that is for another lesson).

Q: "Oh. I guess you are right. Thank you. Maybe next time, I will tell my name."

A: "You are welcome. In another lesson, we will talk about acquiring a secret shamanic name, which you do not share with anyone. Except maybe the faeries. And the angels. And God."

Keep your questions coming in, and I will continue to answer them here, so everyone can benefit from them.

ngels live and move and have their being within a melodious flowing harmony. There is always an intrinsic harmony to life. This intrinsic harmony is not dependent upon our awareness of it. Our inner state of harmony, however, bears some relation to our awareness of the natural rhythms of the universe.

a fresh new look!

Maybe you've noticed the new look here. I worked my fingers to the bone scrubbing and painting the classroom! (A teacher's work is never done!) Enjoy! It's always a bright sunny day in the classroom. And you are always loved.

Hi teacher,
I like the new wellcoming to the classroom you created.
Hi Kevin,
I miss your picture ! Where are you ?
Hi everyone else,
are you okay ? Are you on holydays ? Are you busy in your lifes ? Sometimes I am not showing up in the classroom because my days are filled with a lot of activities that I mostly like. And sometimes I am just lazy. What about you ? I miss communication. I know, no one have to show up here. And I think it would be more fun and lifely to see and read more comments about you and your lifes.
Love to all of you
Monika

Hello to all of you,
sometimes I find this project "earth" very curious...
when I came into the post office singing, I stopped it, because people stood there and it was so quiet that I could not go on singing, or better I thought I couldn't do it,
I saw woman with very high heels walking so concentrated on cobblestone (Kopfsteinpflaster - hab ich nachgeschlagen), trying to smile,
businessmen with ties in the hottest summer, why do we do this?
I recognize myself having small talks about nothing interesting and also thinking about being "right" dressed... I want to be seen and on the other side I want to be like everybody else...to hide myself.
A lot of our rules and how we have to behave ourselves seem to be so..I don't know the word, but it feels not normal.
Why is it the way it is? Very often it shouln't be the way it is,
and now at the moment writing these sentences I feel so happy, knowing that there is so much more in everything, and I also feel sad, because there exists so much and I don't live it.
I will do it more and more and I'm so thankful about my work with children, because they touch my soul and they are full with love and they live it,
every moment,
every moment,
every moment....
(and whenever I go to the kindergarden I'm always "right" dressed, in the best case it should be very colourful!)
I'm happy!
Now I share this feeling with all of you,
love from Antje

 Dearest Students,

Here is a question from someone who chooses to keep his name confidential.
QUESTION: What is the biggest obstacle to my spiritual development?
ANSWER: The biggest obstacle to your spiritual development is the need to be right. Notice the way this need crops up in your everyday life. Notice what it does to you...what it causes...like silly arguments, wasted time and energy...and blocks to learning. Look at what it creates inside of you...anger, hostility, blocks, anxiety, tension, separation. Notice the way it blocks Truth. (Notice that your need to be right also means "right" about how wrong you are, bad, worthless, a failure, unattractive...What if you were WRONG about those low opinions of yourself : )

You didn't ask this question, but I will ask it for you:
QUESTION: What is the biggest help to my spiritual development? ANSWER: The biggest help on your spiritual path is your receptivity. An open mind, an open heart, a spirit on fire for Truth, is your best friend. With this, comes energy, enthusiasm, and fearlessness. You do not let fear overcome you, because you are pointed in the direction of Truth, and nothing can stop you! Not even your need to be right!

Thank you for your question! And your receptivity!

Hey there
I could finally manage to post my picture :-)
It's a little hard for me to write in english, that's why I hardly ever post something...
I wish you all a beautiful summertime!
Lovely greetings from Switzerland
Ruth

I am longing for a world, where there is no word for war, because people live in peace. I am longing for a world that has no word for murderer and no word for murder and people even have a hard time to understand when you - maybe from a far foreign world - want to talk about theese words to explain.
I hope and wish that this longing will be fullfilled in the near future. I wish for myself, that I am capable to put all my power towards this goal.
I wish all of us that we more and more open up to the neverending stream of love. That we let happen love through us.
Monika

I AM

I am not myself
I am the color of your eyes
I am the soft dark center of your true vision
This is what I have always been.

I am the light that radiates, pulses out
From the center of the darkness
The soft, dark place out of which you see me.

I am the dancer
Dancing for your delight
When you close your eyes I enter you
When you sleep I disappear.

I am not myself
I am the color of your eyes
I am the soft dark center of your true vision
This is what I have always been.

MONTHLY MESSAGE FOR JULY

Hi. Every month I post a new message on my blog. This one is called Freedom. You can read the message on my website: Freedom

YOUR ENERGY

Your energy is divine. Why? Because it arises from God. It does not arise from "you"...the small you. "You" have no energy of your own. You have nothing of your own. You do not need anything of your own. All the things in your life are here on loan for you to enjoy, take care of, appreciate, and use. So treat everything with care...not with possessiveness, but with care. Honor the things in your life. Honor your energy. Use your energy wisely.

Do not allow others to use your energy. You must not be at the beck and call of anyone else's drama. Give yourself permission to break free. You are on the freedom path. You do not have time to waste in petty dramas that sap your divine energy, leaving you exhausted, upset, and confused.

Ask yourself (remember the value of questions!)..."is this person or situation involving me in a drama that only causes me confusion and leaves me exhausted?"

We often think (that silly thinking again!) we must stay and partake of a drama....(when do not think for ourself)....that we "must be nice...polite...kind." First be polite and kind to yourself. Honor your energy. Each person only gets so much energy for a lifetime. Just as a candle eventually burns out, so does each person. So be nice to yourself. Be AWARE! Notice when your energy is being zapped by a drama....and give yourself permission to step out of that drama! You will be glad you did. You will have much more energy. You will be more relaxed. And definitely happier!

Just Stop It!

Is there a bad habit you have been meaning to stop? A negative habit that you really want to give up? That you know will be good for you? But you keep procrastinating, waiting for another day, finding excuses why you don't stop it, thinking and ruminating about stopping it, beating yourself up for not stopping it, feeling bad about yourself every time you realize you haven't stopped it?

Stop thinking! Just STOP IT! Give yourself permission to break free of your procrastinating nature. Stop waiting! Stop letting silly thoughts rule your life. Stop doing what you know is bad for you. Stop making excuses! Give yourself permission to give up that negative habit now! Then give it up!

The Bene Gesserit Litany Against Fear.

I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past
I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Pg 19 of Dune by Frank Herbert

Fantastic

There's nothing but God
and now I lay me down to sleep
to dream, to die
forever
to fly, to cry
to believe in God's plan
forever
to be true
never to go back to being untrue again
would be a good thing
even when it feels bad for a moment.

JUST DO IT!

Is there something you have been meaning to do? Something you really want to do? That you know will be good for you? But you keep procrastinating, waiting for another day, finding excuses why you don't do it, thinking and ruminating about doing it, beating yourself up for not doing it, feeling bad about yourself every time you realize you haven't done it?

Stop thinking! Just DO IT! Limiting thoughts and feelings do not have to be your boss! Give yourself permission to break free of your procrastinating nature. Stop waiting! Stop letting silly thoughts tell you what you should be doing. Do what you know you should be doing. Stop making excuses!

Do the thing that your deeper inner intuitive VOICE is telling you to do! DO IT NOW! Go against limiting, self-defeating, lazy thoughts. And DO IT! Do it now!
