If You Would Know Me

Sometimes poetry speaks in words of Truth. Even if you think you are not a poet or can't write, try it. You might be surprised! Maybe you will contact something deep within your heart and soul. Maybe the angels will speak through you. Maybe your writing will release you from another prison of lack, loss, fear, and limitation. You just never know! Here is what came when I sat down one day and wrote spontaneously. I started with a title and the rest followed:

IF YOU WOULD KNOW ME 

A SPIRITUAL JOURNAL

As you enter the new year, consider keeping a spiritual journal. Write spontaneously and freely.

Welcome to your Classroom!

 Come in! Find a seat. This is YOUR school! It's not like a regular school. It's a spiritual tea party, You can come barefoot. Drink coffee! Laugh right out loud. Wear your pajamas. Share secrets. And you don't have to raise your hand! If you are shy you don't have to introduce yourself (we love it when you do) you can sit way in the back, where no one will ever see you, and just show up to see what your classmates are writing on the chalkboard.

You are welcome to become a "follower" and add your beautiful picture along with your friendly classmates. Use your real name or give yourself a new name. I have more than one name, myself, as you will see, my given name, Judith (Judy or Judi for short) and my "spiritual name" Indira.

Ask questions! Create your own "posts." Comment on posts. Sign up to receive email notifications when new posts and comments are added! Share your spiritual journey!

Writing is healing for mind and body, especially when you write here in the presence of angels. Your Open Classroom is always open! So stay open. Visit often! Write often. The more you show up for yourself, the more Truth will show up for you. This is a spiritual law.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Dear teacher and classmates!

I wish you all a very happy, healthy, joyfull and lightfull 2011!

Thank you all for being here!

Love, Sandra

Dear Students

Thank you for the cards, ecards, and other messages of love that you have sent during this holy season. I wish for each of you that you begin to sense the true holiness that lives within you and that you begin to live from that holiness each moment of your life, here and now, in the eternal present.

New Lessons

Hello Everyone. I hope by now you are cuddled up by a warm fire sipping hot chocolate in your pajamas and reading your new lessons. Well, that's a nice image, isn't it? As the angels always say, if you are going to use imagination, then you may as well use it for imagining things that make you feel happy and peaceful. So often we use imagination to terrorize ourselves. Notice when you are around other people. Notice what they say. Notice when they are using imagination in terrifying ways....imagining horrible futures and horrible pasts. Just notice and do not allow yourself to be taken in by their negative and frightening images. The more aware you become of the frightening stories other people tell, the more you can be aware of the negative stories in your own mind. So watch the world around you with awareness. Awareness is the magic key that will set you free. (By the way, new students....you have not yet been invited to your Schoolroom....the fairies and elves are still painting your walls and decorating your chairs....so be patient....your will receive your first lesson soon!) All love, your happy teacher.

CONTEST WINNERS!

Hello Dear Students, I would like to announce the winners of the holiday gift contest. Click below to read more!

Boston

Hello dear Students and greetings from Boston, MA. It is 6am and I am sitting in the Boston airport waiting for my next flight to Buffalo, where I will get a ride into Jamestown, NY. I slept a couple of hours on the plane, but I am wide awake now and have lots of energy. I just realized that I forgot my tiny modem that connects my computer to the internet via a phone line. I will have to have it sent to me. That means I will most likely not have any internet access until I get it. I am using the airport's highspeed connection right now. So you will not hear from me for longer than I intended perhaps. Well, you have your lessons to read, you have this Classroom, and you have your own connection to the angels who are always connected to God. You are always connected to God too....even when you forget it. To think upon the angels is to think upon God. God. That is a loaded word for many people. What does it mean to you?

More Angels!

Some people may scoff at the idea of believing in angels. They would rather believe in their human doubts and fears. Does that seem very logical or intelligent?

THE CREATION OF ANGELS

Dearest Students,  Please click below to read the special message. It is a Present from me to you for this Holy Season. May your hearts be merry and bright and may you accept yourself as you are, so that you might live in peace and happiness all your days.

Welcome!

I discovered a new student here. Very welcome to be part of a special group of people who are very brave and joyful in their growing towards light. What is your name ? Where do you come from ? My name is Monika and I live in Mainz, in Germany where it is pretty cold right now. Love to you and I am looking forward to our time together in this classroom. Monika

Angels

Dearest Students, for those of you who make the extra effort to click the button that brings you to Your Open Classroom, you will begin to experience more angelic energy slipping into your life. Every moment spent with the angels is a moment less spent with the doubts and fears of the human mind. What if you could track every thought you have during the day? Do you think your thoughts would be more harmful or more helpful, more false or more true? Well, one way to answer this question is by another question: "How do I feel most of the time?" Your feelings are in direct proportion to your thoughts. I will post more about this soon. Until then, may the love and blessings of the angels go with you now and always.

Coconut!

Dear Students, do you know that coconut is good for your body? Coconut oil is excellent for sauteing your food (angel students never ever fry, right? Because we don't want all those unhappy oxidants entering our lovely bodies!) Coconut butter is also healthy. And you can eat fresh coconuts and drink the milk. You can also use coconut oil or butter as a beauty product for skin and hair.

Here are just a few of the potential health benefits of eating coconut on a regular basis:

• Lower risk of developing heart disease
• Help prevent bacterial, yeast, fungal and viral infections
• Help regulate your blood sugar and prevent or control diabetes
• Help keep your skin smooth and soft
• Improve your energy.

Angels Appearing

Dear Students, After I published the message about Robin, below, and was reading it over in the Open Classroom, suddenly the blog posts disappeared, replaced by a picture of beautiful angels. I was stunned and knew this was a message of peace and comfort from the angels. The picture was one I had stored as an icon on my desktop, and I must have somehow touched something that made it appear....still...that is enough of an angelic miracle for me and I wanted to share it with you. It appeared very large, but when I add it here, it is smaller. Hmm. 

Thanks Annie G.

....for your beautiful expression of gratitude, warm and generous.

Goodbye Robin

Dearest Students, you didn't know her, because she was one of those students who sat way in the back of the room and never raised her hand, but I want to take a moment to honor Robin, who passed away last night after a long illness. In the last months of her life, she found the angel lessons and said they were "invaluable." I want to take this moment to honor Robin's path into the Light.  She wrote me these words, just before she went into the hospital for the final time, after reading her last lesson: "I just took my little poodle, Curly, for a walk in a very new way of trying to be present in the moment. I noticed a lot of plants I never noticed before as well as the wonderful smells of autumn." I am glad we have this beautiful classroom and each other to share the journey with. You are all invaluable in my life. With love, respect, and gratitude to each of you.

Poetry of the Present Moment

L

ove rises like a fountain or cascades into us like light or flows over us like an ocean until we drown in its fatal embrace. Yes! We must give up everything we are not if we are to become what we are. We must pull the beautiful sword Excalibur from the cold hardness of the dark edge where the dark angel waits with love to be released from all it is not, wanting to be released, waiting eternally only that we turn with willingness and total surrender into the tunnel of its dark eyes and see the light shining there.

Early Childhood Memories

What are your earliest memories concerning your concept of God and spirituality? 

M

y earliest childhood memories are of trying to find God so that I could understand the meaning of existence and where everything came from. I remember sitting quietly, willing myself to return to the beginning of everything, intent upon finding God, meditating before I knew the meaning of the word. I would have a sense of my body dissolving into nothingness and my consciousness expanding into sparkling space. Just when I was sure I was there, almost touching truth, I would disappear into a deep void. I would awaken from these meditations as puzzled as ever, wondering what had happened and where God was.
