Winnie the Pooh

“Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?”  “Supposing it didn’t,” said Pooh after careful thought.  Piglet was comforted by this.

Romans 12:21

From "The Message"
"Our Scriptures tell us that if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.”

 ....................................

Hmm — maybe not so easy to buy your enemy lunch — what do you think? Everything in your school is designed to make you think for yourself. You are not here in your school — or on earth — to become a blind believer — you are here to get free of the blind beliefs that are running (ruining) your life.

Here are a couple of other versions of this verse, from other translations of the Bible: "Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good." -Lamsa Bible. "Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."-KJV

Hi Everyone

I just took the opportunity to share something from my current lesson, 'The Incredible Lightness of Earth" in the comment section of Indira's post below. It was a good experience for me, and I found myself excited about sharing with my classmates. Speaking of "incredible" - that's what every lesson is for me, and my experience of being a longtime student in the school. So just want to say thank you from my soul to your soul for sharing the incredible lightness of earth with me. I know from this lesson that we are all souls who come to earth together for a reason. Even when we do not see each other or know each other, our souls are connected through this school. We are on the spiritual way together. Love, Kevin

Beautiful Poetry

I know all of you are not poetry lovers, especially if English is not your first language, but I love the flow of this poem this morning as rain falls languidly outside my window and the mourning doves coo their early morning songs. So many poets touched something beyond the mind. They tapped into the great resources that our Eternal Self has always in store for us. Do try tapping in yourself, if not to write prose and poetry, at least to journal, write to the angels, a friend, or just yourself. You can even try writing to God. Or from God. You might be surprised at what happens. All my love, Indira aka Judy -- Oh - and here is a photo of Emily at 16. If you want to read the poem you can click below to read more.

Carl Jung

Love

This is a nice quote. Not easy for the human being though. We have so many judgments. We think we must be right. We know how other people should live their lives better than they do! In fact, we are so busy deciding how other people should live their lives, we often have no time to live our own!

It's easy to post nice quotes. Just as easy to post them and forget about them. This is what most people do, then they are on to the next thing in their multi-tasking world. Don't be like that. Take life slowly. One moment at a time. One now at a time and your life will become one wow at a time! You will be amazed and enraptured by each present moment because that is where you will be.

And don't forget to ask yourself if the words you are reading are true. Do not take the words or teachings of anyone for granted. Do not be a blind believer! Blind believers become blind deceivers. Find out for yourself what is true. Then go and live that truth.

Why?

Sunflowers

Sunflowers

Sunflowers are all that matter in this world
you may think other things matter,
like how much money you make
if the stock market crashes
if you save face instead of losing it
Can you really lose your face?
Better pray to the God of your choice
to lose your face and replace it
with the lovely face of God
that would be a prayer of grace
a prayer worth praying
then you would know as I know
Sunflowers are all that matter in this world.

Fear not the fear!

THE CLEAR & SIMPLE WAY
http://www.theclearandsimpleway.com/

The good news is you do not have to have courage. The false self has no courage. It has nothing of its own, not even itself. The false self is like a mirage on the desert. How can a mirage claim that it has anything? The mirage claims it is an oasis; and it is nothing.

We are all walking across the desert towards a mirage that doesn’t exist. Aren’t you tired of being alone on the desert?

The angels whisper to you, Give up. Surrender. Stop. Fall to your knees. Tell yourself the truth. See through the lies you tell yourself.

Stop pretending you have courage. Stop pretending you are not afraid. Be as afraid as you are. Fear not the fear! Fear has no power over you. Fear has no power!

Be as afraid as you are. The false self is afraid that you will see it is not real. That you will see through it.

See through it! See through the mirage. The false self is not an oasis. It is a mere mirage. It doesn’t exist.

The false self is trembling even now, even as you read these words. The false self does not want you to know the truth. It does not want you to know Truth!

Truth does not require that you have courage. Truth has all the courage you need.

Happy Shivaratri Day

http://tribune.com.pk/story/1060876/11-incredible-pictures-of-hindus-celebrating-maha-shivaratri-festival/

The Maha Shivaratri Festival is celebrated by Hindus on March 7 in reverence of the Hindu God Shiva. It is said to be the day Shiva saved the universe by drinking poison and also the day he was married to the Goddess, Parvati. The festival is celebrated mostly during the day, but some hold all night vigils. Shivaratri falls today on the most holy month in the Hindu calendar.

And it's a good reason to post this brilliant picture to brighten your being. 

The inner creates the outer

The Golden Rule

Find your true self. Be that self. Don't be afraid to be who you are. Don't be afraid to express your true nature in all its glory. Don't be afraid. Stop being afraid to be who you are. Stop being afraid of other people. Within you is an innate kindness that always knows what to do. You can be yourself without being unkind to anyone ever.

The trick is to know when you are being tricked by ego. Ego masquerades as your divine nature. When you harm others, you harm yourself.

Ask yourself: Am I being kind? Am I doing unto others as I would have them do unto me? Am I causing harm? Am I following the fear in my mind or the love in my heart? Am I acting from separation or inclusion? Is my action necessary? Is it kind? Is it true?

The golden rule is a wonderful and truthful Guide: Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Kalida

Cleaning The Mind

When soot blackens
the chimney of a lamp,
who would waste time yelling
at the flame for not shining
brightly enough?

Patiently clean the impurities
          from the glass of your mind,
the brilliance and beauty of
          your true Self
will illumine all around you
with the light of Love.

    -Kalidas

-One of the greatest poets and dramatists in Sanskrit. His chronicle of the kings of the Raghu clan - Raghuvamsha - the great play Shakuntala and other works depict through many characters the highest ideals of life as seen by the ancient people of Bharat.

An Angel Story

Today I was reminded of a sweet story. Where I used to live in California, not so long ago, I had a mobile of small angel wings hanging from the ceiling. Hirth's little granddaughter was visiting one day and she asked me what they were. I told her, "Angel wings," and she said, "How did they get them off?"
That should bring a sweet smile to your day.

The Angels Say . . .

People often pray for strength to bear their bad karma. Angels say, 'If you are going to pray, then pray for the strength to bear both the bad and the good. Strength and courage are as necessary to beauty as to difficulty.'

Angel Message

This is in Jamestown, along the river, where I am now.

Dearest One, On this snow-wintered day here on the east coast angels send our feelings, our vibrations, our energy onto you through the one who writes these words upon her computer and offers them to you.
We see what you need in the moment you need it and do our best to fulfill those needs according to the will of God. Many believe that angels exist to fulfill human wants and desires. This belief is for small minds, limited minds, minds content to dwell within the illusion, those who cannot begin to imagine what God is.
You also cannot imagine what God is, but at least you have an idea, a glimmering, a wish for your imagination to grow and expand into the greatest light. This is a beginning. Start where you are. Start at the start. If you must start a thousand times a day, start a thousand times a day.
Just as it takes millions of stars to fill a darkened night to cast light, so are many starts needed to fill you, take you, reveal to you the great Light that IS.
Love as always, your own dear Guardian angel loving you beyond your wildest imagination.
