How can I hear spirit better? answered by Devan J. Byrne

 First there must be a welcome, it could be in prayer, in spiritually directed questions or a concern that you use to turn your attention to Spirit. Whatever you know spirit as, focus on that in your mind, and simply practice allowing everything else be silenced and simply pass, while you simply remain focused on Spirit. Second, open up the question, and be ready to write or record what comes to you. At first there is a lot of asking and almost begging and declaring your commitment and desire to hear. The third part also need much practice and that is writing and/talking till you also are impressed with the depth of where you are going. I honestly feel that Spirit is teaching us to “channel” her in every area of our lives until you Know You as Spirit. Intern focusing every area of your life to what is truth and dissolving the beliefs of our false reality. OR making a fake reality, up to you.

Here this is good:
1. Ask
2. Focus & Surrender
3. Write/record, with the intent of publishing.

Apologies To The Divine Feminine (from a warrior in transition)

Jeff Brown http://soulshaping.com Jeff Brown http://soulshaping.com

Jeff Brown:  I apologize for my inability to distinguish the benevolent warrior from the heartless warrior, a reflection of my own confusion dealing with the battlefields of yore. When I opened my heart too wide, I was vulnerable to attack from warring factions. I was conditioned to believe that I had to stay rigid, focused, prepared for any eventuality, in the desire to protect myself and others from attack. But I went too far, and closed too tight, and eradicated the bridge between our hearts. I am seeing this now and I am sorry. Continue reading

A dose of reality

I posted on Facebook, “Nice when the gentleman says, allow me to order for us. Tres galant. I could get used to this…”  My pal Miro Posavec commented, “Like the jurassic park movies.. It always starts out as “oooo… aaaaa..”, then there’s screaming and running.”

A Buddhist Prayer of Forgiveness

Image from www.thebuddhagarden.com

 

“If I have harmed anyone in any way either knowingly or unknowingly through my own confusions, I ask their forgiveness.  If anyone has harmed me in any way, either knowingly or unknowingly through their own confusions, I forgive them. And if there is a situation I am not yet ready to forgive, I forgive myself for that. For all the ways that I harm myself, negate, doubt, belittle myself, judge or be unkind to myself through my own confusions, I forgive myself.”

Someone is really trying hard today, you don’t know who so if you have to choose – choose grace.

Sometimes what you want isn’t always what you get, but in the end what you get is so much better than what you wanted.

Never doubt you have the power to change someone’s life

In September 2011, I met someone with a very fundamental, Bible based viewpoint.  He was a spiritual seeker, unsatisfied with where he was.  I began sharing my experience of universal truths, we began going through my library and discussing authors and ideas that were all new to him.  He said he’d never met anyone like me, someone metaphysically minded.  I told him there was a whole lot of “us” out there, I just happened to be the first he met…  I shared with him breathing exercises, and spoke of meditation, creative visualizationkundalini awakening, tarot, astrology, totem symbolism, numerology and the chakra system.  I could tell the lights were going off as he soaked in more each day.  Finally – something that made sense, something he could use to reframe his life to understand why he’d gone through all he’d experienced and how it all led up to that moment.  In six short weeks, we met and had intense discussions about energy work, transparency, the fact that it’s all related and karmic implications.  With no advance notice to me, he was incarcerated out of state for 6 months, during which time he was captive audience for daily letters and articles, continuing our conversations.  We spoke on the phone every other day.  Every week I could see changes in his thinking as he told me of how he was using the teachings he’d learned to counsel his cellmates.  He wrote me dozens of poems and songs in daily letters. When he returned, he began posting online what he knew and how he had been able to help others with it.  The one who left was not the one who returned.  The first was bound and the second is free.  Early on he wrote me “How blessed I was to find you. Who so effortlessly showed me who I was and made me see through the lies I’d been told and began to believe myself. Thank you. Jeremy James Bonner”   Never doubt you have the power to change someone’s life.  It was my honor to help change his.
