Insightful Parables.

http://sdj.gaia.com — Thu, 12 Jun 2008 16:48:34 GMT

These 2 parables I’ve recently come across that touched me. I hope they do the same for you. The first is a great insight. The second is a teaching from Sir Ramakrishna. “Why do you insist that my normal self is unreal?” a disciple once complained to his master. “Why not put it another way?” the master replied, “What makes you think you are real?” It’s obvious,” said the disciple. “I think and feel and act. I know myself for who I am, with all my habits, my likes and dislikes.” “Yes but what do you really know?” the master insisted. “Did you have your habits when you were asleep?” “Of course not. I am unconscious when I am asleep.” “Perhaps you are unconscious now.” “No, right now I am awake.” “Really?” The master smiled. “Can you remember everything that happened to you yesterday? Or even what you were thinking an hour ago? Isn’t your self-awareness very selective, amounting to just a partial memory? And then there are your dreams, which you lose as soon as you wake up. Not to mention that your habits and preferences are always changing and even when you do seem stable, don’t your emotions often betray you? An insult from a passing stranger can completely throw you off balance, or the news that someone close to you has died. Isn’t there also the problem of being lost in wishes, false hopes, and various mental illusions?” The disciple looked baffled. “All this may be true, but none of it makes me unreal. Perhaps I am just very confused.” The master shook his head. “If so, then everyone is just as confused. The truth is that what we call a person is constantly in flux. There are long stretches of forgotten time, not to mention our lapse of consciousness when we sleep. Memory is faulty, and only the mind’s craving for continuity keeps alive the illusion that ‘I’ is constant. ‘I’ is never constant. For every experience there is a difference experiencer.” “I am beginning to see what you mean,” said the disciple. “Although you make is seem that nothing can be trusted.” “Nothing about the changing personality can be trusted,” said the master. But there is more to life than experience. Things come and go – feelings, events, and achievements. Pleasure is inevitably followed by pain. Success is bound up with failure. Yet behind all this show of change, something remains aware at all times. Find your what that is awareness is and you will have what can be trusted. This is the way out of illusion.” ____________________________________________________________________________________ A disciple once came to a teacher to learn how to meditate on God. The teacher gave him instructions, but the disciple soon returned and said that he could not carry them out. Every time he tried to meditate he found himself thinking about his pet buffalo. “Well, then” the teacher said. “You meditate on that buffalo you are so fond of.” The disciple shut himself up in a room and began to concentrate on the buffalo. After some time, the teacher knocked on the door of the disciple’s room. The disciple answered: “Sir, I am sorry, I cannot come out to greet you. This door is too small. My horns will be in the way.” Then the teacher smiled and said:” Splendid! You have become identified with the object of your desire through concentration. Now fix that concentration on God and you will easily succeed.”

The Miracle of Love

http://sdj.gaia.com — Wed, 11 Jun 2008 01:46:26 GMT

Recently I have been studying A Course in Miracles. I felt an urge to share some of what I have learned in a specific topic; that of relationships. This is my Truth and if what I have said here does not touch you than please disregard it. Relationships are assignments meaning that no meetings are accidental or coincidental. “Those who are to meet, will meet, because together they have the potential for a holy relationship.” (A Course in Miracles) What we call a “special relationship” is an illusion for these relationships are based in fear and guilt. They are manufactures of what we seek to rectify. Since only love is real, to set aside one over others is a lie of the ego. The purpose of a holy relationship is to heal our self-loathing, knowing that healing is why we are together and trusting that the relationship will continuously heal through mutual forgiveness. To be holy is to be a friend. Any relationship can shift to holiness by changing our minds. This releases others to be who they are and releases ourselves to see their inherent beauty. Our egos reflect our past wounds. Pure love asks for nothing but peace because peace comes from us (from within). The other person in the relationship is here to provide the perfect lesson to be learned form that person. We choose how they show up in our lives just as they choose how we show up in theirs. In every moment we have the chance to change our past and reprogram the future by being Present. A spiritual relationship is authentic because the two have recognized they were brought together for real work (to love) and are willing to give and accept rigorous honesty and forgiveness. These relationships are just like any other except that each person understands that they are participating in a healing of themselves and each other. Anger is energy. Its repression is unhealthy; however its expression is the key. Expressed anger from love is of God. Only what we have not given is lacking in any situation. Our barriers to love are consciously chosen by us because we create what we defend against. In other words, what we resist persists. We are never angry for the reasons we think we are. When we allow the past to infiltrate the present, we punish others for what was done by someone else. This is fear and not of love. And since only love is real and what isn’t love isn’t real, our fears are a hallucination. We also tend not to see others as they are now, in the Present. We see their “shadow figures” and judge them as such. But judgment is of fear and therefore not real. We decide what we want to see before we see it. It is not accident that at first, the other person appears to be perfect. It is in those first moments that we truly see them as they really are. And then we allow ego to set in. We allow our past to creep into our perceptions which destroy our ability to love. The fact still remains that it is our problem, not theirs. The meaning of forgiveness is to consciously focus on loving thoughts and letting go of fearful ones. This is a process. Forgiveness is selective remembering; to focus on love only. It is to enter into all relationships without the temptation to judge and find fault. Forgiveness is a decision to see others as they are right Now. Forgiveness is discernment between what is real (love) and what is unreal (fear). Not be too hard on yourself. The ego will try to make you feel bad. I know because mine loves to attack me. If you are reading this, then it is your time to gain this knowledge and I am blessed to have been the conduit for you. Everything is right on time. Namaste

Jyotish as Quantum

http://sdj.gaia.com — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 19:53:32 GMT

Jyotish (meaning light) is a detailed system of astrology from India. It is literally to examine what the Light has to say about the future. As in other forms of astrology, Jyotish says certain planets are generally beneficial as pertaining to their energies and how these influence. There can be generated 16 different Jyotish charts that are all separate aspects of an individual person. These charts may cover among other things: minute motions of planets, time subdivided to predict one’s future, and several thousand individual patterns between any 2 or 3 planet’s arrangements called yogas.

Jyotish is a quantum scince. By exchanging energy, each point in the universe is communicating with the other. This means that energy contains information. In Jyotish, considerations that the universe is bound this way are important clues to future events. Jyotish asserts that information is encoded into energy and has human significance. As with the meaning of the word jyotish, the future is spelled out in light.

Because the Soul does not adhere to material level influences (feelings, movement, shape, etc…) is it apart from ordinary existence, and yet very much an iatrical aspect of ourselves. This may indicate that the Soul is the zero point, or junction point between time and timelessness; a point that is part of both dimensions.

In India, the soul has two parts.

Jiva is the individual soul that we carry with us on the material plane. It is also tarried along throughout the multitude of lifetimes we choose to experience. It is the aspect of us that must come to the full realization of God. It is subject to acts of good and bad and contains all the Karma it will incur; however as we make changes to our lives, jiva is changed as well.

Atman is the second part of our Soul. It is the pure spirit. It does not come with us onto this material place. It is the same as God in as it cannot change. It stays with God on the virtual plane where it is timeless, unbound, without form.

However, the Soul has its own agenda to accomplish. The Jiva must, as the Vedas terms, overcome the 5 Kelshas, or causes of human suffering:
Ignorance of the Nature of Reality
Identification with the ego
Attraction toward desire
Repulsion of desire
Fear of Death

Simple as it may sound, if you explore the true nature of Reality, all pain will eventually come to an end.

Love and Light

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 21:06:26 GMT

The Hebrew called it Shekhinah. Hinduism called it Sat Chit Ananda. It is called Darshan in sanskrit. All these words stand for light, eternal bliss consciousness and the force field encompassing who is a Saint. "This is not knowledge you learn, it is knowledge you turn into." (The Vedas) Even before the discoveries of Edison and Benjamin Franklin with regard to light, the ancient mystics knew we were of Light. Even Tesla, who conjoured the limits of our fabric of this plane and pushed it as far as he could, was certain that there was more.... much more. The basis of healing is quantum. Healing is made real by a manipulation of light. In the aura that surrounds our form, can be seen clear distinguishing patterns of light play. When the body, a physical representatrion of the Light body, becomes distorted (through dis-ease or misuse), we can trace this back to a distortion of the Light body. We are God; we are without limit, qualities, or definition. As we are "put together" (the form we show which is the physical body), we must re-mind ourselves that in Truth we are unborn, undying, unchanging, unmoving, immeasurable, invisible, intangible, infinite. Imagination is the creator, creation and the process of creating all fused together. Yet all matter is malleable. We are swirling bits of energy, vibrating at incredible speeds.This turns my attention to a Hindu ideal called second attention. This is the ideal when we gleen a deeper perspective into a seemingly ordinary event. It is the understanding that we all inhabit more than one reality at a time. Intuition and wisdom are also "second attention". Know this as fact: There Are No Victims, Everything Is Well Ordered, Randon Events Are Guided By A Higher Wisdom, Chaos Is An Illusion, Nothing Happens Without Reason. Each one of us is a different version of God coming to Knowledge through Expereince. Each soul you come into contact with is an expression of God; an expression of Yourself. Do you dislike yourself so much as to be less than Loving to everyone? Where is any judgment valid when experience is the difference between Absolute and Manifestation? St. Germain called us to "be in love" with each other. As we fall in love with some, feel that excitement and desire for all. This is not a distorted licence to harm others, but a plea to regard all as we are: The Love in Me Salutes the Love in you. Remeber, my Beloved, It is what It is until It is not, and It is never not.

What do You Know?

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sun, 08 Jun 2008 15:55:14 GMT

Having read much on this subject of late, I bring to you here, my knowledge. However, if any of what I know does not touch you, than this knowledge is not for you and I ask that you please disregard it. As Ramtha says, what is truth is what touches you. We have created God in personification of ourselves. These attributes are: fight or flight, reactive, restful awareness, intuitive, creative, visionary and sacred. As we pass through our own levels of awareness, we become aware of God in new ways. "You believe that you were created to serve God, but in the end, you may discover that Gos was created to serve you." -- Anonymous Indian Guru God is as we are. This is hard for some to sallow because at this present moment, their needs are specifically tied to the Ego's needs. Yet, as we grow and expand, our percetion og God grows and expands with us. Any perception of God through religion is merely a fragment of God. A being that is unbound, has no image, no role to play, and no location cannot be and would not be tethered to this Material plane. The Ego is so built into us as an atribute of this material plane. Therefore, the Ego is not "wrong" or "bad" but is. When we are out of balance, we have forgotten what it was like to be without Ego and therefore serve the Ego's needs without question; even unto the false sense of Enlightenment. The Buddhist ideal of ego death, meaning that the more you base your center on ego the more suffering you willexperience, is an example of this. When we free ourselves of addictions (of all modes) we are therefore free to be Who We Really Are. Detachment, rejection, aquisition are all forms of Ego. Since the Ego doesn't beleive itself to be beyond this physical form, without these aforementioned things, the Ego will die. And so we believe that we will die. We know, thanks to Einstein, that energy is neither created nor destroyed. We also know that when we break ourselves (and everything else) we are tiny fragments of vibrating energy blinking in and out of exisitence. This is the quantum level. This is where we originate. Yet, even that is not true. To originate, means that we must have a beginning, yet since we are energy, we cannot have an origin. And this is where we enter the world of God. God is beyond even the quantum level, existing beyond form, time, space, etc... This is evident in when we go beyond quantum levels. As we break down the energy even further, we find NOTHING. No time, no space, no light. And so we come to the Truth about ourselves. We are God. Everything moves from Nothing to something. The dellusion is in the belief in what we see. But how can we trust what is seen when it isn't really there. The brain computes like a computer in that it translates blinking photons into matter. Without the brain, we would not be able to percieve this material plane. However, since we are essentially minute bits of energy blinking in and out of existence, our brains run like the movie projector. When the flim is run through the projector at a certain speed, the images appear to be moving. Ahhh.... See? Well, of course you see. You are watching your version of the same movie we all are watching. So who is watching the movie? "I am That, You are That, All this is That." -- Vedanta The mind is beyond the brain. Memory centers have been identified in the brain, yet we have not found any memories sotred anywhere in the brain. It takes no brain activity to know your name. Preferential taste (opinions) take no brain activity as well. Intuitive certainty cannot be measured in the brain. And yet these things exist. Hmmm... "It is the mind which expereinces and it is the brain which records the expereinces." -- Wilder Penfield The mind is an ghost created by neurons, yet is maintains its own energy outside the energy attibuted to the brain for functionality. The mind remains intact even after damage to the brain like head truamas, comas, severe reactions to anesthesia. Knowing this, the mind must be beyond the brain, and yet closely tied to it as we know individual epxereince as well as the ability to percieve apathetic epxereince. This unmanifested domain is beyond time for with our minds we can remember the past and even glimpse the future without exerting any energy from the actual brain itself. So what... Well, yeah, that is true. Nothing matters unless we attribute meaning to it and evne then, it is our personal perspective that attaches to that meaning. If we are God, and God knows what we know, then the pointt must be to experience what you know. To know is to gain knowledge. To apply is to experience. "God only knows what you know." -- Ramtha What do you know? Namaste

Our Story

http://sdj.gaia.com — Tue, 20 May 2008 15:20:21 GMT

Naked, you and I re-cognize the rush beneath our skin. Pulsing currents commune; minute eruptions through our Minds. Our Energy that never left or came. Given rise to fervor, the only splendor. Our story. We search in every Life, concerned with our Minds. Glancing backward to birth, and forward to our departure. We are Light. Not created or destroyed. Masters in all Time. I give my Heart and Soul to You. I am out of my Mind. We have made it here and we will tarry Home. No longer await rescue. Back to the One. For You

Memories

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sat, 29 Dec 2007 02:46:31 GMT

In disarray, I am rattled
from walking straight backward.
Having just recieved
these petty words misconstrude.
All about the emotions of another
and the sympathy I had offered.
Was I not expected
to be impartial
about my accpetance?
Your smell is intoxicating
like a sweet Port
on a summer's day.
That precocious grin
of a little boy
having done something wrong.
Butterfly kisses make way
for longings of nights wasted
cloaked only by the dark.
When we lay spent
in the throws of laughter.
When I forgot
I had once held another
just as you hold me.
To feel that rising in us,
like the world has slowly vanished.
To forget all before you;
as I am the first Lover
you have ever known.
Come lay with me
and lie to me.
Tell me tales taller than the mountains...
of a time when I was all you needed.

Namaste

My Love

http://sdj.gaia.com — Tue, 25 Dec 2007 16:32:56 GMT

My Love for You is without end
as is the wisdom
of the Soul's timelessness.

Appreciation of these boundries
enparted by distance,
concedes My anticipation of
physical attainment.

In this expression of Love,
Spirit is not forsaken;
Our bodies will redefine worship
of the ardent priests of ancient days.

As I know You in Pure Spiritual Love,
so shall I know You again
in amorous communion.

For Our continuous gravitation
to these chosen forms
is a testement to
Our Love for one another.

For You

We Love

http://sdj.gaia.com — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 15:33:22 GMT

Delight could not illustrate

the hurried beat of my heart as I wait for you.

Time winks knowingly in sarcastic repose.

Hours in this day spent in meditation,

connection to all profoundly on my Mind.

Remembrances reflect Our language,

of a mutual destiny within grasp.

Change makes way a path,

each step reveals Perfection.

I, as the Observer,

appreciate this moment;

Love in True Expression.

Enlightened as chosen begets

Trust between our Souls.

How joyous is this participation?

How this place facilitates the Energy needed.

No difference, simply Acceptance of One.

As we Love the others,

we Love each other.

For You

Here

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:49:55 GMT

Here

In the midst of Ego she heard her voice,

the cries of needs that echoed with frenetic frequency.

In the quiet of stillness she felt her Soul

as whispers of a Peaceful wind.

As the flesh calls for maintenance,

her Spirit knows all that ought is Here.

The Mind creates from the mold of Manifestation,

the Soul Observes as the continuous flow.

With the reminiscence of Trepidation,

she places her foot onto the warm wood of the boat.

A whisper arrives from Nothing to caress her ear.

"I am here," the Loving Awareness implores.

She turns from the Past with respectful reverie,

accepting Here is all there is.

Like a former Companion,

these memories will wait for her return;

curled at the foot of false comfort.

She smiles for what was IS still.

What will be is Here.

Perfection

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:47:38 GMT

Perfection

Recognize not all you knew before,

as the Time for glancing back as passed.

Peer ahead as Sight allows the shadows

to make their presence accepted.

Creation has conceded to retain tangible form.

What IS has not been acknowledged.

For this and that clouds the vision

of all that ever could be.

See as a child through the mask worn

to perceive the Beauty awaiting.

Its Patience is infinite as the Heavens.

Its memory froth with Potential.

Its existence will always be.

Embrace requires no action of Flesh

as connection has never been severed.

Yet to know the calm of our Heart's rhythm

is to accept this expression

in Perfection of the Soul's manifestation.

Namaste

Allow

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 23:44:17 GMT

Allow

The further open to each other we become,

the flow of acceptance also brings to the surface

all perceived obstacles in feeble resistance created.

Their earnest upset of darkness bourne,

their desolate misunderstanding of perception askew,

their mistrust of unknown potential,

their tender triggers point without cause.

Just as Love warms the Heart to bloom,

to arise by stimulation of the Flesh's release,

so Our pure openness initiates

the Healing of our emotional wounds,

the secret places where we are shut down,

where we live in fear and resist love.

Coming Together

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:47:05 GMT

Over the course of the last two days, my ex and I reconciled. We came to an understanding of what lessons we had to learn individually. This brought us to an understanding of how much we love each other and want to be together.

These events are a manifestation come to pass. I am elated beyond words that we have reunited and will begin again as a couple and a family. We have decided to move together to a place where we can continue to explore our relationship with God and each other. This move is to Colorado, to live with an intentional community. We both agree that we are being led there by God. And this experience will be a wonderful source of knowledge for our son.

It is amazing to me how God can repair what we break. How He is able to rejoin two Souls in Love and create such a lasting peace admist our own trivial problems.

To say that I am happy is an understatement.

Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within reach of every hand.

--Mother Teresa

Observations of a One Year Old

http://sdj.gaia.com — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 17:19:01 GMT

I am amazed and humbled every time I glance at my son. He is truly a gift from God.

As I am living and experiencing, my son is in a constant state of Observation. And through this, he is able to do things I did not think he could at a year of age. Without my having to show him, my son is speaking understandable words, attribute pictures to words, drinking from an actual cup (not a sippy cup) and eating complex foods simply for the experience. He runs around and can even climb a few steps. He has a rocking chair that I used as a child that he will climb into and sit; then he will rock the chair back and forth.

As a first time mother, I thought that I would have to show my son everything. But as a new Soul, my son's ability to be a Conscious Observer in his natural state is quite impressive. And as he watches everyone around him, I wonder if it is the mere act of mimicking that is the key? My son will pay close attention to something being done and then try to recreate it on his own. Most of this process is explained through developmental stages of child development, but I see the spiritual side of this phenomenon. I see his aura wiggle and brightly sprakle when he is able to use his body in the same ways he uses his mind.

These moments are what I live for. Brief instants of time when my son and I connect spiritually as well as share the gratification of success with each mile stone acheived.

Ahhh, the rewards of parenthood.

Makes my heart smile like nothing else.

Thoughts on Perspective

http://sdj.gaia.com — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 15:03:15 GMT

Sometimes your joy is the source of your smile, but sometimes your smile can be the source of your joy.

--Thich Nhat Hanh

My brother and I have been having conversations about perspective. I suggested to him that it may be possible that personal prspective is all there is. I asked him, how can the Observer not observe?

My brother replied that he believes there are 3 versions of Reality; mine, yours and what really happened. He proported that since we use our perspective to evaluate a situation, and since our perspective is tainted with our emotional and intellectual beliefs, we could not be capable of objectivity. Or in other words, we cannot know perspective that is not clouded in our personal judgments.

I thought about this for a while. The possible ramifications were staggering to me. I realised that if this is true, then what we call Reality IS a creation of our personal beliefs about what really is happening. And when we want to know the truth, what we may really be asking is to more fully understand why we have chosen to view a specific event in a specific way?

As a parent of a small child, I want to meditate on this point because I feel that it may be important for how I am raising my son. As I teach him how and why, am I simply just changing his perspectie to meet mine? And if this is true, what personal beliefs am I tainting my perspective with so that I can even come to these specific conclusions?

As I explore this, I felt compelled to share with all of you.

This Path

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 22:19:20 GMT

This ego embraced has transformed the message of care;

as the sojourn of self-preservation arrives at reevaluation.

The fate of a God discussed at length by perspective

as refusal of pardon makes known its pride.

What once was believed as an expression of Love

now turns its face to reveal Destruction.

For this reason set before me,

I choose this path alone.

Though time may yield a blurring of Today,

as often it is said to do,

to allow the Attraction of Negativity in

is to realign my frequency with your Melancholy.

This time as well may prove to be finite.

The future is entrusted to God.

In this Moment of Time, the condition is such.

Perhaps you will finally become conscious.

For You

The Power of Who I Am

http://sdj.gaia.com — Sat, 01 Dec 2007 17:16:37 GMT

I had the best night's sleep last night that I have had in a long time. I dreamt of wonderful things and hope for my future. I am excited now that I am free of the pain and connection I allowed myself to endure for the last 2 months. This is the most amazing feeling I have ever known.

It is like being reborn, like seeing the world a new through the eyes of a higher knowledge that now everything will be alright. Once the bonds were broken, and I allowed myself to revel in the freedom only the Truth can bring, I know now how strong I really am; how much more powerful Love is than Fear. Love truly does conquer all when it is allowed to come to fruition. And this experience is one of the biggest blessings I have known thus far.

It is a boomerang effect of the Law of Attraction that what comes around, goes around. The fact that my needs have all been taken car of, that my desires from the Universe have all been realized, is a testement to the Power of who I really am. I take pride in my courage to face this daemon that has come into my life. This has grounded me to what is really of worth in my life.

My beautiful son. My wonderful creation of God. The reason for my life now and the only true happiness I could ever know in this world. Grattitude for family and friends surpasses my wildest expectations. Their love and acceptance of me and my son is appreciated from the depths of my soul.

What I once wanted for myself was a request of less than I am worth. At the time, I could not see passed the pain of loss to glimpse how much more Love was waiting for me. I held on to what was removed from me thinking that it would be better returned than lost. But the Universe knows everything at once; and in Infinate wisom, denied me so that the truth of what I was asking for could be revealed to me. That the truth of what I was trying to manifest was not a positive creation. So the manifestation was halted just long enough for me to be given a clear choice with all the facts of what I was asking for laid out to me. And when I saw it all, I thanked God for the delay.

Now I choose what is best for me, my son and for the furtherment of my pursuits to be a Loving Conscious Creator of Love for the Source. I have been given the tools and the confidence. I shall not squander these gifts.

Life is meant to be lived!

Divine Guidence

http://sdj.gaia.com — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 15:35:53 GMT

To fall in love is easy, even to remain in it is not difficult; our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be
-- Anna Louise Strong

Choose Love over everything in this World.

Be of service to others.

When you have the choice to be right or be kind, be kind.

Love yourself enough to do what is right and not what feels good.

Let go of everything that binds you for more energy is spent fighting than Loving.

Protect those little souls entrusted to you by God for they depend on your Love and Guidence.

Make a conscious effort to forgive those who wrong you.

Hold no grudge for nothing is wrong in this Perfect Universe.

In all things, be loving to show those who do not understand how wonderful this life can be.

Accept the lessons and learn from them.

Do not be afraid to say no when others are not treating you well.

Fear is the focus of ungodly minds; endeavour to rise above this so you can lead by example.

Allow others their right to choose, even if they choose to be unkind.

Live in the Moment for this moment is all there is.

Let the past sail by like clouds in the sky for these are memories of another time and to dwell on them is to miss out on your present moments.

The future is your creation, think before you create.

Life is meant to be lived.

Blesed by Insight

http://sdj.gaia.com — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 20:32:10 GMT

The fruit of love is srvice, which is compassion in action."

--Mother Teresa

Today I received a blessing from the Universe. My very good friend called me to tell me of her troubles. She is experiencing physical manifestations due to her internal conflicts. Now, she is faced with the possiblity of sugery for what could become a cancerous problem. As I listened to her with love, I became aware of her need for expression. She has internalized her feelings for so long, they are manifesting in her body. And as we spoke, she became aware of this conclusion as well; without my prompting.

She asked me how I am doing, to seguway the conversation. I told her how I am learning to be a conscious observer of my surroundings and how I am focusing on love and service. I gave her a recent example of how I am inacting these truths in my life. My friend was thrilled to hear of my transformation. She felt encouraged. I laughed and said, "Hell, if I can do this, anyone can."

At the end of our conversation, my friend remarked to me that she is reading The Secret. I almost jumped out of my skin with joy. I told her how wonderful it was that she has attracted this book to herself and invited her to watch the movie version with me and my mother. She graciously accepted the invitation.

I write this because it never ceases to amaze me how the Universe brings insight to those who are searching. When we become the student, the teacher will appear, as the Zen proverb says. And it is so true!!!

I am reminded of another quote that I want to share with you.

Man may have a nonmaterial consciousness capable of influencing matter."

--Eugene Wigner, Nobel Peace Prize Winner

We do have a consciousness capable of influencing matter. It is that intangible force we may call our Higher Self, or whatever name you have for it. We are a spiritual having a human experience. And as I observe more often than I interfere, I am reminded of this fact repeatedly.

Be inspired to show the world that our call as conduits of the Source is to be of service through loving action. Be the change that you seek to find in the world so that others may be inspired to do the same.

Namaste
