Dear Judy

Dear classmates

I am trying to find a story Judy once posted.

It was about a man who was convinced that he was dead and finally went to a doctor..........

I liked it a lot :-)

Unfortunaley I cannot find it any more in all the post, messages and lessons.

Who can help me finding it?

Happy Sunday and lots of love,

Sandra

YOUR INNER GENIUS

      A tiny grain of sand entered the shell of a little oyster and began to irritate its soft interior. The little oyster, who happened to be a seeker on the path, began to ruminate, “Why did this happen to me?"

I wish you peace in your heart and light in your mind

This first and last Christmas of 2009

I wish a circle of peace around the universe . . . 

This first and last Hanukkah of 2009 

I wish a circle of light around the universe . . . 

Merry Christmas!

Dear classmates!

Happy Christmas to all of you

and all the best wishes for 2010:

Love, light, joy, peace and health!

I'd like to share with you the lyrics of a wonderful Irish song,

which we sang with our choir and I liked so much.

Irish blessing

My the road rise to meet you

may the wind be always at your back

may the sun shine warm upon your face

and the rains fall soft upon your fields

...and until we meet again

may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Love,

Sandra

Gifting the School

Thank you, Johanna, for gifting the school to your friend. And thank you also to another "anonymous" student  for gifting a scholarship. 

 If you are looking for a really special gift for someone, consider gifting the school...even for one session....it is a gift like no other. And if you gift to someone close to you, you can share your journey of the lessons. 

 Also remember, I will be in New York State Dec. 15 - Dec. 30. I will be visiting my parents, as well as giving readings, and seeing friends, since it is my hometown. I will write to you from there...and you can always keep up with me on my blog (on my website)--mostly I write poetry there, but when I travel, I try to keep everyone updated with my journey. 

Isn't it wonderful to know that students from across the ocean and across the United States are all reading the lessons together? There is power in group consciousness. There is comfort in knowing that you are sharing your journey.

December Monthly Message

If you haven't already, I encourage you to read Desire For The Holidays on my website. For those of you who like to work hard and learn quickly, this message provides extra-credit homework....you give yourself an opportunity to grow and evolve at deeper levels. How wonderful is that!

Our Thoughts, Including When They Are Dark

I was reading thru some older posts in the open classroom yesterday, and I read a reply from Indira to one of Ruth’s posts mentioning that it is OK to share our thoughts here in the open classroom, including when they are dark, because this is a way to bring them into the light of awareness. Thank you for allowing this Indira. I have an awful burden on my heart that I have struggled with for a long time, and I am hoping it will help to bring it out into the light, here with you, and the angels, and the other classmates. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR JUDI

All the best wishes and a lot of love and light!!!

Have a wonderful day!

Love, Sandra

Welcome Barbara!

How nice to see you (sort of see you) here in the Open Classroom. Love, your teacher.

Your New Lessons

Hello from Austin. Your new lessons are in your Schoolrooms, so be good students and read them. At least once. And if you carry your lesson or even a page with you, you can refer to it throughout your day. Fill your mind with light and there is less and less room for darkness!

Austin and more...

Just to let you know I am heading to Austin this morning December 2  and will return to L.A. December 8th. There are no students in Texas yet. However I will be giving readings there. I will have my laptop with me, so we will be in touch.

Also, your classmate Ruth is recovering from surgery and maybe if you have a chance, you can send a bit of healing light and love her way. Even mentioning her name here in the classroom brings soothing love to her. We love you, Ruth, and wish you well.

Your Nov. 28th Message

Hello Indira, I hope you enjoy your trip to Austin! Your Nov. 28th message about the ego being drama and darkness... This message dawned a light of understanding about the ego, for me, that I have never had before. I have always struggled to understand even a glimpse of what the ego is. Thank you opening my eyes so I can begin to understand it, and be aware of it. This message was sooooo helpful to me! Love, Mary

Happy Thanksgiving

I just created a new Happy Thanksgiving sort-of-poem on my blog. I have created many poems there lately. I hope you enjoy the poem of your life today.

Today is my 16 th Reiki Master birthday. I am very gratefull for this path full of learning, growth and fullfillment in my life.

Welcome Mary Birdsong...

...to the Open Classroom. You can sit anywhere you like and be just who you are!

Response to Gabi and Jen

Hello Dear Students, I decided to create a new post here, rather than adding to the comments in the recent questions and posts. 

Gabi, I very much like Elisabeth's response to you and to Jen. Elisabeth (Sanatha) has often made herself vulnerable here in the classroom, talking about her own battle with depression (an inherited predisposition)...and her last comments here show that she is imbibing the teachings. I so admire each of you for reaching out, for making the inner commitment to break free. I admire your courage. It is not easy to make one’s self vulnerable….even here in the Classroom. It may seem easier to hide in the shadows….not to make ourselves too vulnerable to ridicule or pain. It seems safer, sometimes, in the shadows.

Hi everybody,

I just wanted to add a further question to the angel message from the 7th of November. What should I do if I can't or don't want to live up to somebody's demands or expectations. Should I just say sorry, that is your problem and not mine, or try to be nice and do what is expected of me even if it is against my own intrest or feelings?

With love,

Gabi

Hi Indira and classmates,

I just read the daily message from November 7th. I love it, but I have real problems with it. How can I stop expecting and demanding things from people I am close to? Can,t I expect help from my husband with house work and other things? Can't I expect colleagues to do their fair share of work...... ? It feels to me that when I stop demanding things I have to do everything myself which will be more peaceful but would not feel right either.

I would be very greatful for an answer.

With love, Gabi

NOVEMBER 2009 MESSAGE

I encourage you to read the monthly message on my website (here)...particularly because it compliments your lesson this month. This month each of you, even beginning students, have received the same lesson. Because receptivity and gratitude are important for every student, no matter how advanced you are (or think you are). This is is an important lesson for all of you to receive. So please do receive it and contemplate the quality of receptivity and gratitude this month. all love, your teacher
