Showing Up

Often times we stop showing up for our spiritual self, our spiritual work, when our life takes a turn for the better. This can be especially true when we have had a long 'dry' spell -- a period of loneliness or unhappiness -- followed by suddenly getting what we 'want' (maybe a new relationship, a great job, outer adoration) -- that brings us joy. Joy is great! Angels love to bring tidings of great joy, and they always do, even when we cannot heed them.

Still, times of great joy are times to stay focused upon your spiritual path. We do not want to turn to God only in times of misfortune--anyone can do that--we want to turn to God even in times of good fortune. We want to remember God in good times, bad times, all times.

Your connection with God and angels can deepen immeasurably when you remember to stay focused and grateful in times of great joy, as well as in times of despair--and all the times in between.

New Open Classroom

I like the new Open Classroom look, Indira. You have added a lot more to it. I like how the school just keeps getting better, expanding with creativity and newness. It never stays the same. Just like we are always growing and changing, like life is always changing. The Open Classroom is a perfect example of this.

Do good, feel good.

Try this. Not really as an exercise in doing good, but as an exercise in awareness -- which our school is all about -- being aware. When you find yourself complaining (in your mind) about a situation you are in, a place you are, anything at all -- ask yourself, how can I improve this? Can I say something kind? Can I just keep my mouth shut? (sometimes that is the kindest thing :)  Can I do some actual physical work to make things better? So -- basically the question is: Can I leave the place or situation better than I found it?

I tried this today. I was in a public restroom and when I walked in I saw someone had thrown a pile of paper towels on the floor. Thoughts went through my head, like -- This looks terrible! I should tell someone in charge who can pick these up!! Then I thought, why don't I just pick them up and throw them away myself? And so I did. It took me a couple of minutes. And I felt good. I still feel good thinking about it.

When we Do good, we FEEL good. That's another cosmic law. So -- try it. You'll be glad you did!

Rules for a Scientist

I found these "rules" for a scientist to be interesting and worth looking at, so here they are:
"Even if you're not a scientist, these are good rules for anyone to live by. The 11 Commandments of a Scientist."

Snow!

This is where I grew up and where I am going December 15. Into the snow belt of western New York State. This is what the thruway looks like today! And it isn't even the first day of winter yet! I will need plenty of snow angels!

And here is a car buried in snow. Oh my! 
I have to fly into here soon! To spend 
Christmas with my Mom. Oh my!

Realize you are asleep

Every sleeping person is convinced he is awake. -Vernon Howard

Yes, as your lessons teach you -- the most important step on your spiritual path is to know that you are unconscious (asleep). If you do not know you are asleep, how can you wake up? Sleeping people believe they are awake!!! This accounts for most everyone in the world. Sleeping people walk around believing they are awake.

So be one of the few. REALIZE YOU ARE ASLEEP! This is your only hope for waking up. Every problem in your life happens because you are asleep. 

Angels love all kinds of weather

Do you know that angels love all kinds of weather? Angels are not dependent on the sun for light, as we are. Angels shine with their own light! You shine with your own light too. When you are living from your heart, even the most somber winter day can seem warm and peaceful—because real peace is independent of any experience. Even the most somber moment can be filled with peace—because peace is the backdrop upon which everything is written.

Happy Students, Sandra and Christel

Let go of the past . . .

Just as a snake sheds its skin, we must shed our past over and over again. -Gautama Buddha

Happy Relationships

Science says lasting relationships come down to—you guessed it—kindness and generosity. This is good reading for all of us, because all of us are involved in relationships constantly, and what works for couples also works in our relationships with each other, our families, at home and at work, with the earth itself -- and certainly with God and Angels. So please do read these when you get the chance.

Sharing your experience of Your School

Word-of-mouth is a great way to pass along good news! You may gift others with the School.Tell friends, family, and associates about your experience in your School. Post information on your social networks. Send people to my official website if they want to know more about the School.

Having friends, family, and associates around you who are also taking the lessons speeds up your own transformation because you are on the ‘same page’ and can share the work together. Sharing life with people who are dedicated to waking up is one of the best ways for you to grow closer to Truth.

 Circles of Rainbows

from Ramana Maharshi...

A Perfect Rainbow

We see only part of life and so we miss the perfect wholeness, 
the perfect circle, and the Light.

NASA recently posted this photo of a rainbow taken from a helicopter. Most people see rainbows from the ground, which makes them look like an arch. But when you see a rainbow from the air, you can see it's actually a full circle.

New Lessons Have Arrived

Dear Everyone,
Your new lessons flew through cyberspace to you yesterday. The very first students are now on Lesson 73, called, 'God is Here". That is the lesson I wrote after I got back from Europe a few days ago, while I was still jet lagged (still am).

Take some time to read your new lessons and apply them to your lives. The energy of the angels is in each lesson, in the words and the silence between the words. As you go throughout your day today, imagine that you are breathing a big breath of angelic energy. Whatever color you need. Maybe soft pink or blue. Maybe some other color.

Take a big breath right now. See the angels around you, if only in your imagination, filling the atmosphere with their colors of light and love. Breathe in all the love you need. Breath in encouragement. The power of God. Strength. Light. Enthusiasm.

Yes! Whatever you must do today, you can do with great love and enthusiasm. Enjoy your new lessons!

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).

Flying

Early tomorrow morning, November 4, I return to the USA. Penny and I will be on a 12-hour non-stop flight to Los Angeles. I have chocolate-covered rice cakes, so everything should be just fine. Looking forward to California sunshine, but loving the rain here in Mainz.

It has been a beautiful 2014 European Tour with beautiful people. Thank you all who made this journey peaceful and easy, and those of you who gave your time and energy to attend a talk, reading, and/or seminar. The work here was very deep. Each year it gets deeper. This has a lot to do with students who attend seminars. Your energy adds a powerful force to the seminars, since each of you is acquiring a profound understanding as you read your lessons and practice your homework.

I am grateful -- eternally and forever -- with love, as always, Judy aka Indira and the angels (and Penny).

Healing the pain of Separation from God

The way to heal the pain of separation is not by gaining the love, esteem, or good opinion of other people, as comforting as these may be. Whatever is gained can be lost. The only real safety is revealed through our communion with God. Our private moments with God determine our conduct, our experience of life, and influence how others experience us.

Reading your lessons is a way to commune with God. The lessons flow from the heart of angels to your heart. The intention of your school is to put you in deeper communion with God. If it were not also your intention to come closer to God, you would not have been guided to the school.

You are becoming more aware and more conscious with each breath. Each breath is a breath closer to God. Breath comes in. Breath goes out. No matter what you do, this is true. Until the last breath leaves the body, you can rely upon breath to flow in. Breath is your greatest constancy in life. Even when you are not aware of breath, breath is aware of you. Breath knows to flow.

Isn’t it astounding to realize how taken care of you really are? Isn’t it comforting to know that breath -- the most important function of your life on earth -- is taken care of by a power greater than your own? Isn’t it freeing? Doesn’t it fill you with awe and wonder?
