Everything is Offered

 

The angles say .... Dearest One -- Yes, everything is offered. Everything comes to everyone from the hand of God. That is an absolute Truth. There is never a reason to feel lack, loss, fear, or limitation, even though it is the world most humans live in. Look into your mind. Really look. Look until you see. Really SEE! See what is hidden there. See what is ruling your life. Take the crown from the thoughts you worship and place it directly upon your own head. Yes. Do it now.

At least in imagination do it now. Visualize this crown upon your head. Is it golden? Is it shining? Is it filled with light? Is it made of light? Is it light? Yes! It is! It is light. It is a shining halo of light, right, the might that ascends from God, the great God, the God of Light.

The only necessary thought is PRACTICAL THOUGHT. Remember this and do not forget this! All thoughts that lead you down the dark stairway to the dark basement of loneliness and fear, competition and comparison -- all those thoughts are unnecessary. They are not vital to your true existence. They are vital to your false existence. Take the crown from those thoughts! Cease to worship false thoughts, because then you will have a false you.

Look into your mind. SEE those false thoughts! See that you must be worshiping them, or how else could you feel so bad so often? You are not bad. You are good!

GOODNESS is your true nature, because it is the nature of God, and God is your true nature. Negative thoughts of lack, loss, fear, and limitation are not your true nature. You just got lost in them. You got lost in the dark forest of ego. No matter! Angels will help you when you want to be helped. Angels offer you pure bright crystals of Truth. Hold out your hands! Open your hearts! Open your minds! Open your entire being to receive the pure bright crystals of Truth the angels offer you each moment. Let your heart chant constantly the name of God. Let your mind be so filled with God that the light radiates, shines out from you like a halo, a shining crown of Light, bright, right within your true sight.

Stay Aware

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1 Peter 5:8

Poem

ENLIGHTENMENT

Love is flowing through my body
Light has replaced my bones
I no longer sleep
I am awake
During the night
When the angels sing
They come to me
On ribbons of light
Shining with joy
Diamonds of light
Jesus appears
A holy flower
Shining power
His scent is grace
His face is lace
He sears my soul
With passion
I rise with the angels
I kiss the face of God
There is a holy dance
My soul is enraptured
Forever captured
By the Holy One
For whom my soul
Has yearned since birth
I shall not wait for heaven
Night has no power here
Sleep is but a dream
Eternal Wakefulness
Has come at last
Time has passed
Into timelessness
And I cannot stay
To say goodbye.

FEEDING MY SOUL

Last night my soul woke me
In the middle of a dream
It was hungry
So I took it for a walk
Into the deep dark forest
I filled it with the silence
That cradles the trees
and the tiny violets
with their heart-shaped leaves
And holds the stars in space
And keeps my heart in place
And my soul was happy

MAYA

I am not here
no matter how it looks
I was never here
my flesh is no evidence
of my presence
past or future
it is clear
I never was
nor will I be.

Drawing by Vincent van Gogh

The trees form a cathedral
I can walk through
into the heart
of the forest
the beating
throbbing
loving
living
being
heart
of
nature

Live Consciously

"All life is one and everything that lives is holy. Plants, animals and people all must eat to live and nourish one another. We bless the life that has died to give us food. Let us eat consciously, resolving by our labour to pay the debt of our existence."
~ Gurdjieff, mealtime prayer at The Prieure

hard lessons

I came across these words. They may be hard (for the ego) to read ... but the heart always longs for Truth. What is healing balm for the soul is an eraser for the ego. The ego (false self) is slowly and gradually erased whenever words of Truth are received and understood. The angels always tell us that words of Truth must be repeated over and over because the mind is so thick, so ingrained with false beliefs.

These words came to me today: "The trading of ego-gratification is the basis of most human relations, which uninformed humans call love and unity. A person who you think is the nicest, kindest, most loyal person on earth will abandon you instantly when: (1) You hurt his ego. (2) Cease to feed his ego. (3) Cease to serve his ego as much as someone else." - Vernon Howard

It is a great exercise for the soul to not turn away from people when they stop fulfilling our ego needs. For this, we must be astute enough to recognize when the ego takes offense or gets hurt. We cannot stop a reaction of pain, but we do not have to let that reaction of pain tell us how to live, how to act towards that person.

This is not so easy because pain speaks very loudly. The ego will insist that you take offense, get hurt, get even, turn away, get mad. The ego will insist on its own way, which is always the way of more pain. It takes a great deal of self-effort not to listen to the ego, but to the heart. It is great inner work when we can rise above the ego's demands. Life becomes less painful.

GRATITUDE

"Gratitude turns anything into enough, puts past to rest, brings tranquility to our hopes of tomorrow, and blesses today with harmony and bliss.” ― Joseph Rain

 

Happy Autumn Equinox - You have Enough - You are Enough

As the midday sun begins to sink lower and nights get longer, the reign of summer is coming to an end for the northern half of the world. The autumn equinox arrives at 10:21 a.m. ET (2:20 p.m. UTC) on September 22, officially marking the beginning of fall in the Northern Hemisphere and the start of spring in the Southern Hemisphere.

The word “equinox” comes from Latin and means “equal night,” referring to the roughly 12-hour day and night that occurs only on the two equinox days of the year.

Mabon is the mid-harvest festival, time to honor the changing seasons, and celebrate the second harvest. On or around September 21, for many Pagan and Wiccan traditions it is a time of giving thanks for the things we have, whether it is abundant crops or other blessings. It's a time of plenty, of gratitude, and of sharing our abundance with those less fortunate.

Whatever moment we can take to honor the cycles of the earth and the many blessings we receive from her great abundance is the right moment. So let's dance joyfully in this present moment together, at least as we share these words. Let's thank all the nature spirits, who are part of the realm of angels, for loving and protecting earth, her waters, mountains and valleys,  and all growing things.

Let's celebrate having ENOUGH today. For surely, wherever you are, right now you have enough. Right now you are loved and cared for. You have enough food. Enough shelter. Enough water to drink and bathe in. Enough friends. Enough spiritual energy. You have enough. You are enough. At least for this moment dance joyously, truthfully, and honestly in this knowledge -- this enoughness.

Live quietly in the moment and see the beauty of all before you. The future will take care of itself.

Fear

We must become aware of the many ways the false self tries to keep us in fear.

‘You believe that if are afraid, then you exist. Your fear proves you are here. And there are so many things to fear! The list is endless. Every time you are afraid that you do not exist, you can reach into your basket of fears, pull out one, and say, ‘Yes! I fear: Therefore I am!’ And you feel saved. Your fear makes you feel alive.’
You fear; therefore you are not.
When you fear, you are not whole. You are not happy. You are not real. You are not true. You are not living in your highest vision. You are not living God’s highest vision for you.

Meditation

To gain energy, practice this exercise of sitting still and making your muscles dead. Only when everything in you is quiet for an hour, then make your decision about your aim. Don't let associations absorb you. --G.I. Gurdjieff

Divine Love

Happiness

 “If you have given up hope of ever being happy, cheer up. Never lose hope. Your soul, being a reflection of the ever joyous Spirit, is, in essence, happiness itself.” -Paramhansa Yogananda

A Staggering Comment

Today

Karma

Every bad thought and feeling reacts on us again, or on one another, and on me. If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in a hundred years, but you will be helped. --Gurdjieff

 

This also means that when you hurt others, you will be hurt. The problem with hurting others is that we are so unconscious that we don't even know we are hurting someone else. Think about this. Let the meaning of this permeate your consciousness.  

Ask yourself, how do I unconsciously hurt other people? How do I unconsciously hurt myself? Ask the angels to show you. Ask God to help you see more. 

We justify our wrongness in so many ways. We tell ourselves "good" reasons we have to be 'bad." We tell ourselves that our bad is good -- and we don't even know we do this!

 

Ask the angels to give you more humility. Ask the angels to show you how to be of true service in the world, to your friends, your family, your husband, your wife, your lover, your parents, your children, your colleagues. You can only serve where you are. You can only serve what you are.

Ask for more awareness. Every bad thought and feeling reacts on us again, or on one another, and on me. If you help others, you will be helped, perhaps tomorrow, perhaps in a hundred years, but you will be helped.
