I love this song we were singing last night in the singing group ( I missed one of our classmates there who is usually coming ) :
In unserem Leben da fließt eine Kraft die uns stets zusammenhält.
Es ist die Liebe zu Gott und den Menschen und der Natur.
Ein jeder findet die Einheit in seinem eignen Herzen nur.
Dort ist die Tür zu dem bleibenden Frieden der ganzen Welt.
I try a translation now:
In our live there is flowing a power that always hold us together.
It is the love for god, people and natur.
Everyone is finding unity (oneness) only in his heart.
There is the door for the remaining peace of the entire world.

I wish all of us remaining peace in our hearts. Monika

Negative affirmations

Most of us do not realize we are mentally (and mostly unconsciously) repeating affirmations to ourselves constantly! Alas, many of these are negative: "I can't do it!" "I am a failure." "I am too _____ (fill in the blank...fat, ugly, stupid, old)" "I am not enough." Negative affirmations affect us, whether we are aware of them or not. What affirmations do you constantly repeat? Are they mostly affirming and uplifting? Or are they mostly defeating? Do they enhance or deplete your life's energy? Perhaps you would like to make a conscious decision to become aware of the self-talk that goes on in your head. If you like, do some writing to help bring the unconscious into consciousness. As you become aware of harmful habits of thinking, healing begins - and this is a happy affirmation!

Positive Affirmations

     The affirmations below are not really meant to be positive affirmations. They are meant more as ways to bring you back into reality when you have slipped into frustration, irritation, etc. They are reminders. They are contemplations. If, for example, you are frustrated and irritated because life is not going according to your plan...

Yesterday I again asked the angels and my spiritual guides to comfort me. I found myself in intensive emotional reactions when I really opened myself to the possibility to receive what I asked for. To be open to receive implies an imense widenes. I do not yet know how far this goes and I feel a little scary with this field.
Love to all of you

I'm getting it!

First, hi to Annie, I see you are comment #56 up above in the school introduction. Good to see you back.

I want to share my understanding that my thoughts are not original, especially my complaining, negative, fearful thoughts. The same thoughts buzz around everyone's head. My contracted thoughts of fear and limitation are the same that everyone else has. I cannot tell you what a relief this is. I really get it. It is not just me. It is the same for everyone. Maybe the story changes, but the end result is always the same - fear, negativity, limitation, anger, resentment, you name it. Thanks school. Three cheers for us!

More on thoughts...

I have decided to use my classroom to learn more about myself. Myself? I know myself is not really this physical body, thoughts, & emotions. "I AM!" Just the same, I normally identify with physical reality as being me. Today I will try to apply what I am learning in our School.

YOUR OPEN CLASSROOM!: thoughts

YOUR OPEN CLASSROOM!: thoughts

Hi Kevin,

as often I am a bit late in the classroom and just read your "thoughts". I am sure our egos love negative thoughts, because we like somebody to feel sorry for ourselves, the ego likes all this attention. We try to imagine how things would be different if we would have taken a different path, other people would have behaved differently and get angry and jelous... Sometimes when I feel down I "like" beeing down; I don't want to laugh, I dont want to join happy people, I like to be miserable and feel sorry for myself. Luckyly my downs never last long, and with the help of the school I become more aware of my silly ego and its little tricks. I know that we can't change the past and so I try to smile at these negative thoughts to let them go. Easier said than done, but it is worth a try. I hope you can give your negative thoughts a little smile next time they pop up.
Best wishes, with love Gabi

Having No Value

Why is it that I see my own mother as having no value? I see her as having no value to me, or to the world. What scares me is that I know she is a mirror for me, so that suggests that I see myself as having no value. The exercise in today's lesson, helped me to become conscious of this belief inside me. When I got to the part "That's what she does best" (being herself), I choked on it because I thought "BEST???", she is not best at anything.

Greetings from Christel

• Since one Year I am reading the lessons and your comments . This year I made up my mind to give more time and attention to this process and to all people taking part. So I am looking forward to the next time to meet and contact some old friends and meet new ones, and have an intense time of learning and supporting. And I know, that some friends were waiting for this day finally to come. Here I am.

• I am breathing whenever I remember Judy's message (this short messages I like a lot as a support) and I feel how my body connect more with me. Feeling more alive and whole. It seems that my body needs this attention to get healed from this old stomach pain, which Isuffer a long time. I wish you all  apeaceful and satisfying day.  Your Christel

thoughts

Hi Everyone -- thoughts, that's what I'm thinking of. Thoughts cause so much trouble for me. A thought pops into my head and before y'know it, I am suffering. I would like to think (there's a thought again!) that I am so kind, so mature, so spiritual -- and then a negative thought pops into my head -- a thought of jealousy or envy, for example. Who wants to think they are ever envious or greedy or have mean thoughts toward another person? Not me. But the truth is, I do.

Expectations

Ruth, I wanted to thank you for asking the question about desires/ expectations/ visions in your comment to Indira’s post dated Dec. 24, 2009 called “I wish you peace in your heart and light in your mind”. The dialog about "expectations" between you and Indira has been a huge lesson.... I will be "chewing" on it for months! I had no idea how bogged down I am with "expectations" of how I think this world should be. I can see where my expectations have driven so many of the decisions I have made in my life. All the way back to when I gave up my baby for adoption when I was 17. My expectations were that

Unbelievabel,
today I got to know that Germany is worldwide the third biggest country that exports weapons. Also into countries that are against human rights. Our politicians say that they go against coutries that are against human rights. And yet they allow to export weapons to those countries. ( I am against production of wepons at all ). Thousends and thousends of people are killed through wepons that are produced in Germany and legaly exported.

Dead Man Post for Sandra

I found the original post Sandra. It is long enough to be a lesson! In fact, it is a lesson!  No wonder I don't remember what I write! I am reprinting the entire post WITH the Dead Man story here for you in its entirety. Enjoy!

Happy New Year Everyone!

It's been a fantastic past year in the School. I am super thankful for all of you, my classmates, for the school, our teacher, and the angels. This is the best classroom I was ever in. It's like layers of false conditioning are being peeled away, and what a relief it is. I was raised by a Jewish mom and an Irish Catholic dad. Now I'm being raised higher by universal angels. Ha ha. Seriously, have a great new year.

Happy New Year 2010

Thank all of you for your New Year wishes and blessings. I wish each of you true deep happiness that springs from within and is independent of any outer event, person, place, or thing. My love and gratitude go with you. I encourage you to read the 2010 New Year's Message on my website when you get a chance.

wish you a blessed year of 2010

Dear Judy and classmates,

wishing you all the best for the coming new year, you are as happy as the dancing people of the video
