We have to let go of what’s killing us, even if it kills us to let go

I’ve been at it since 5am, shredding pounds of paper as I purge old files. It began with me shopping for another file cart, then it occurred to me, this is how clutter starts and clutter can suffocate the life out of you. I realized if I purged files, I could use the file cart I have now. I shredded 2 cartsfulMy life is an ever widening realization of what I do and do not have to hold on to. It’s getting easier to let go.

Let’s hurl a fireball of Love across the world

Dear Brave Souls: This is a call for us to form a prayer carpet of our winged selves, flying over the people in need in our world, to in Spirit, shelter and inspire those who struggle. There is never a shortage of souls to pray into, for and toward. Remember, this very day… yes, many many souls are praying for YOU, and they do not even know your name. Let us do likewise every day. To raise up best energies and hurl them across our universe to those who can receive them, who may never know why or how or whom has sent a sudden inspiration, a sudden and just enough energy to keep going. I send love, hurling a fireball of Love across the world, to add to all the other lights that are traveling toward those in need of remembering that others of us, still know they are alive. Dr. Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Stop being afraid of UFOs

ufosFirst of all, UFO doesn’t mean spaceship. UFO means “something is airborne and we don’t know what it is until further investigation.” It could be a comet, it could be debris, it could be an optics error. Even if it is visitors from another planet/ galaxy/ dimension, It’s time we accept UFOs and stop being afraid of them. We let tv tell us who to be afraid of with scary stories. All life forms are precious and permitted by God to exist. Equal love for all! And you know what? If we’re wrong and they laser blast us on sight, all we’ll drop is this one body for this one lifetime. These are just our physical bodies , “we” survive in consciousness after death of the body.

We must know Who we are to navigate our world

bamboo water stones text

We meditate to discover who we really/essentially are, what we’re capable of and what is possible. Only when we begin to know who we are, can we correctly interpret the circumstances and events we find ourselves in. Until then, we’ll imagine wrongs and slights that only exist to a limited mind. These words came to me as I contemplated Frank DeMarco’s lines, “If you do not understand your internal life, you cannot understand your external life. To find your place in the world, you use clues from one to illuminate the other.”

Frank DeMarco Dialogues with The Guys Upstairs

Frank DeMarco“Your life has meaning, and with sincere effort you can find that meaning.” All your difficulties in 3D life could be seen as stemming from your misapprehension of your true condition. To the degree that you “see” [intuit, sense] your true position, your anxieties disappear, and with them, your problems. Then (only) do you see rather than hope that “All is well, all is always well.” If you do not know what you are, how can you know what is happening around you? If you do not understand your “internal” life, you cannot understand your “external” life, and if you cannot use clues from one to illuminate the other, you have little ability to find your place in the world.   In his blog, DeMarco discusses exploration with the non-physical world and his sessions of communication with disembodied entities he calls “TGU — the Guys Upstairs.”  Visit  –> http://ofmyownknowledge.com/blog/

Game of Thrones?

It’s all about perspective. A friend from the UK writes, “Just about to download the latest episode of Game Of Thrones – all about a land in turmoil, with multiple factions fighting each other, the unstoppable onward march of a zombie army and winter and darkness on the way – it’s nice to have a bit of light relief from reality.”  This references those who voted to leave the European Union but I was glad for the Game of Thrones recap. Friends watch it and the previews don’t appeal to me. Now I know why. People wonder why their lives are not filled with Love and Light. If they’d take their attention off turmoil (real or movies and tv) they’d stop resonating in harmony with conflict. When they stop resonating with conflict, conflict will slowly drop from their own personal lives.

Sometimes the kindest thing to do is not answer the survey

customer-surveyI attracted confusion at the post office this morning. I love and appreciate our postal system: it’s fast, it’s safe, it’s affordable, it has always been good to me.
 
He: Your prices are wrong on this form.
Me: I’ve been using these prices the last 6 months, price list January 2016.
He: I’ll write the new prices down for your job. You have to fix it and come back.
Me: Can you give me a sheet with all the new prices?
He: I’ll just write down the ones you need.
Me: Can you please tell me where to find the form you are looking at on your computer so I can look them up myself next time?
He: No, you don’t have access to what I have in my computer.
Me: Can you tell me the name of it? Can you print out that page for me?
He: It is the Ratefold 123. It’s this thick (holding fingers a half inch apart.)      Continue reading

I got called for jury duty

I was called to jury duty this week for the first time in 20 years and was pretty excited to do it. I’m always up early and it would be a fun break in the day.  I’d carefully packed my purse to go thru the metal detector, forgetting that instead of a bulky plastic hair brush I’d opted for a small flat hair pick — with metal prongs. It got confiscated. Phooey! I was surprised I didn’t know more people in the jury pool since there were about 100 there.  At 10 a.m. they’d called names for two jury pools, but we were not in those groups. I got called the same day as a girlfriend so we had a chance to catch up and do the jury duty adventure together. Waiting for jury duty, I thought it’d be fun to play some spidey sense games. When they were calling names for the second jury pool, I turned to my friend and said to her “You’ll be the 5th name called.” They didn’t call her (Ellen) but number 5 was Ellie sitting right next to her. So no, I can’t count that as a hit. Most jurors were glued to their phones, three had hard copy books and magazines and only two sets of people are talking face to face.  I found an outlet to charge the phone and sat facing a giant map of the world on the wall. I took time while I charged my phone to study it and do the meditation where you are breathing in the troubles of the world and offering them up to God, breathing down God’s love and breathing it out into the world. I figure if I’m trapped here I have to make use of what’s in front of me. Here’s the meditation –> A Meditation To Help Transmute the Suffering Of The World

At 11:20 a.m.  I got released
