Aw, cripey, another one? Another realization? Well, I did say the day is young, didn't I?

I've always been an angel,..

1inMany, how precious to come to Know!

There’s an exercise where you stand in front of a mirror in a darkened room, and squint your eyes for a little bit. You see your wings. They may not be spread upward. Sometimes, they are folded down, so just the tops and part of the sides of the wings appear. And there’s a glow, too.

If you don’t see them, it just means you are better than many at following inner knowing. Some feel their wings on their backs, too. (If people have a different account of how angels look, they won’t see the wings.)


While you are here, I enjoyed reading about your date. I’m happy for you. (On all accounts.)

Mainly @ 1inmany but also to myself:
IMO, being ungrounded is lack of contact with our creaturehood, our natural body state of grace. Our bodies are made of the Earth, every last molecule, and will return to Her. Too much emotion, Water, intellectualizing, Air, or too spiritualizing, Fire, will lead to not being grounded. Feel the delight of a breeze or the warmth of the Sun. Keep it simple. Don't fly off into 'feelings' about it, or intellectualize the wonder of it. Don't even get into spiritual musings about meaning of it all. Just realize it is our inheritance, our natural state of creature grace on this planet. Let the peripheral nervous system tell you why Spirit took up a body. Eat a piece of real fruit with flavor and dripping with sweetness and juice. Sit on the ground or walk barefoot on the real Earth. Almost every problem we have is not one of where the body is, but where the mind and emotions are. Illnesses of the body are illnesses of poor thoughts, choices and emotions, both personal and societal.

When going to bed, remember your body is in a warm, safe and comfortable space. You are probably overfed. Life is very good, despite what the demons running through your mind or emotions inform otherwise. Body will stay behind when spirit departs. Is your heart beating, are you breathing? All is well from the grounded, perspective. We are born grounded and are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are. A very few psychopaths have taken full advantage of this distraction to create even more.

Grounding is about keeping it simple and being as quiet as possible inwardly.

I could not keep this to myself. My path does require me to share the goods. My life is very blessed and peaceful. The tiny corner of it that squawks a bit is all a part of me not handling something.........yet.

We all have our challenges.

Thank you for sharing this. I, too, wish you would post here more often. Alas, leaving your fans always wanting more lol.

After listening to what you were saying, I realized that I am drinking juice instead of soda, eating fresh fruit, eating salads til I fear turning into a rabbit...a radical change for me, and all because I was just eating what my body told me I wanted, what I crave. As that changes, I follow the body's lead. Being overfed or underfed is quite the possibility since balance is something I learn after changes happen.

I wonder if you can tell me more about this:

are slowly pulled upward into the cacophony of the dysfuction most of this planet lives in. Most of worldly woe comes from being ungrounded and forgetting who we are and how blessed we are.

because I am wondering whether spiritual growth doesn't cause one to become ungrounded as well. If this is the case, then it is not always being slowly pulled upward into that cacophony, but also towards more spiritual pursuits? I don't know, just wondering.

Much Love,

Spiritual growth IS the result of more groundedness...more attunement to nature and our own natural ways and means...the higher rhythms are an ebb and flow of cause and effect of our connection to the love of mother earth and thus ALL life around and above and beyond and Our Very Own : ) Every moment becomes more and more spiritually entwined.
Had to chime in 1InMany...Love,Love,Love!!!

I'm reaching out for help....again. I hate doing this. I have to be pretty desperate to ask for help...as so many of you all do, too. I just spoke with Mike about the Boss/job/our future. Honestly, he is in a place of despair. Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, everybody around here, including Mike, is not feeling well physically.

Apparently, the letter of intent - or offer to buy Boss' company - has not been well received. We knew this might happen, but I think in the back of Mike's mind he was hoping this would be the option that materialized. If this option materialized, according to Mike, he/we would be able to retire at some point. The Build-It (building a new company from scratch) would not afford any retirement options, and taking the Indiana job would not either. We used to have a nest egg, but it is now exhausted...taking care of people...as is the right and really only use for money if you ask me. But, I understand his fear that he will be "working for the man" for the rest of his years, and that 30 or 40 years of work will be "for nothing."

This thinking is disturbing to someone who has faith that everything will be okay and that we will be taken care of. The life we have shared has shown that "taken care of" may mean that we sleep in the car. Of course, I guess that is in the realm of possibility, but not probable. He has not ever chosen medication to treat his bipolar disorder, mostly because he denies having it. However, every family member - siblings, children, you name it - has been diagnosed. I mention this because when I say despair, I really do mean despair and I say so sheepishly but in all seriousness.

At this point, he wants to take a job with the Indiana company, and forget building anything. I support him wholeheartedly, but I do not think our separate living arrangement would change So, this makes things a little more complicated even as it gets him away from his Boss the quickest (which is his desire).

Anyone who has a little to share, would you send a booster our way?

You know I appreciate it very much.

Much Love,

Please see post #15908 for complete transcript.

“... paradox the point of power. Because if you are understanding things which appear to be opposites at the same time, that means you have to be in the center of those two things....”

“It’s not this or that, it’s this and that. And that when you do that you have to expand your consciousness to include what appears in the physical reality to be opposites, but from a higher perspective it can be seen as those are simply different aspects of the same consciousness.”

“But those two things don’t have to be seen as different. They don’t have to be labeled as different. Because by labeling them as different then you have a different experience of each of those things. But if you look at that thing holographically...”

“...But I’m gonna say that we don’t even need patience. Because if you’re living in the moment and you’re loving what you do, what are you waiting for?”

“...it becomes less of a linear space-time reality, and more of a simultaneous and holographic one. What you are seeing is the interconnectedness of everything all at once. And making choices from that point of view instead of from a more limited point of view.”

“What we think as think of as different moments are all the SAME moment viewed from different perspectives.“

3:36,

Q: What are the benefits of having a singer that isn't real?

A:"You don't have to worry about, like, public scenes and stuff. // Like Hannah Montana!.....// She was great, and then she started acting like a hooker."

[ulli]

Sending energy, 1inMany.
You will be fine.
There is just one line which you expressed there,
which showed me an error in your thinking, please don't be upset if I tell you this.

I happen to believe that our conscious universe might have responded to that philosophy of yours.
Hence your situation.
This is what you said:
"We used to have a nest egg, but it is now exhausted...taking care of people.....as is the right and really only use for money if you ask me."
This is a limiting statement.

My husband has a guilt thing about charging sick people, and thats why he is not a rich doctor.
Another self limiting person.
I have told him that he is a GOOD doctor and therefore should be seeing far more patients,
and not just the exact number that covers his monthly expenses, with nothing left over for savings.
Uncanny how that quota works.

I have known about the secret for decades before The Secret came out.
One just has to get rid of those feelings of shame which are circling in the New Age scene about money.

There are infinite trillions out there, and that money would be better off
in the hands of good, generous people than wasted on selfish hoarders.

If you can set higher financial goals in your mind, and allow that abundance to come your way,
and not instantly plan to give it to others you might bring everything to another level.
Set a goal of a few million dollars and then you will see that the scope of your kindness will really have an impact.

I'm reaching out for help....again. I hate doing this. I have to be pretty desperate to ask for help...as so many of you all do, too. I just spoke with Mike about the Boss/job/our future. Honestly, he is in a place of despair. Coincidentally, or not so coincidentally, everybody around here, including Mike, is not feeling well physically.

When making a choice these days, I find I am informed by the maxim: seek joy. What of the options available is going to make me (and Mrs A) the most happy and joyful?

How much do I want to hack reality to ensure the outcome I require?

If I can't live with any of the options, I will seek to change the game... hence "reality technician"... and I will add some options that were not there at first.

The problem is, that this is what works for me and her might not sound right for you.

(except I think it might)

I doubt for one second I could convince your other half with words alone, that all is well - but it is - and yet, that is not going to help right now is it?

The weight of the challenges bearing down, stifling, tempting feelings of helplessness, victim hood - WHY ME! - layer on layer of endless problems - especially when an initiative, a good one at that, gets knocked back in your face - its like the universe is mocking you.

An initiative that may well have sorted things out so neatly... its a double blow: disappointment at apparent failure, and compounded general doubts and uncertainties about the future.

Surprisingly this is what it takes to activate some people. The dark night of the soul.

So, how can we help?

As so often is the case one has to be very clear on what, exactly is it that one wants.

Do you want help with the despair, or the goal?

Is it possible to frame the current circumstances in the light of being for the highest and best good?

Perhaps there is a higher reason that you have not succeeded in this first grab at independence.

For example, perhaps it was far better to have a dream shattered now than have the problems of running a business in a failing economy - of for some other, as yet unseen reason?

That is exactly what happened to me when I had a similar moment.

Shattered dreams are as depressing as you let them be.

It's pretty natural to be upset for a bit, but like grief, unhealthy if prolonged.

Crying helps. Men have problems with that though. I dont. I cry like a baby and let all the pain run down my face.

Afterwards I may have to go and wrestle with a bear unarmed, to regain my false sense of manliness - LOL.

Perhaps it is time to make some new goals, and then see how they can be made manifest instead - in joy.

We are all being pushed very hard. Things are changing and we don't like it.

Yet there is a common ground between all of us that will see us through these problems, and that is the field in which we operate: love.

When I had problems with my business and before it was destroyed, I too faced a precipice of despair. Shrieking - hair pulling - why God why, why me?

All it took was for Mrs A to ensure me that no matter what, we were in this together, NO MATTER WHAT, she loved me and always would.

That was all I needed in the end.

No one can take that away from you.

Even if I were in the gutter, I would be happy to the last - knowing that she and I were in this together right the way there to the end of it all.

And in the end I did give in, and elect to let my company go.

I never really looked back - except to see that this was indeed a blessing in disguise, and yet more proof to me that there is always a reason, time and place for everything that happens.

Its a hard, hard, bastard of an experience to go through, but you'll get through it.

Love - that does not need testing. It is there and its unconditional.

What this is, is a test of faith.

It's a challenge from the universe, the gloves are down, who art thou?

Posted by KJV Matt 6:25
Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they? Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith? Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? (For after all these things do the Gentiles seek ) for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.

IMO some bits of the bible kick-ass, and that is one of them

Except as you know, its not that programmed God in heaven, its the God in us - testing himself.

Here and Now: watching a part of the local news where they are showing live
how a fifty year old old woman is being taken blindfold to the water's edge,
to see the ocean for the first time in her life.

She never expected the vastness, the sound of the waves.
It is such a pleasure to watch her express her delight and amazement at it all.
I was nine years old when Dad showed me the ocean for the first time...
I will never forget it.

[astrid]

yes..I'm tackling yet another round of my self limiting/ programmed beliefs around money as we speak

And I don't much post on this issue anymore as it tends to end up always in the same circular place/ debates.
The programming runs so deep that most can't see it, especially among the "spiritual"
folk.

For me, spirals are the way to go.

[ulli]

I will be returning to the Caribbean next week, until mid September.
Husband will join me there in August for three weeks.
Can't wait to see my grandchildren, my son's family, and lots of friends.

[1inMany]

Thank you, Ulli, I am NOT offended. I am grateful for the reminder. My brother (another one) once told me that if he said to me that he liked a painting I had on the wall, I would take it down and give it to him no matter it's value or how I felt about it. I just would. Your sentiment resonates with me, that money (if it shall be the system) should be in the hands of those who will use it for the highest good. We are good money managers, if we weren't we couldn't be able to make what we have go so far lol. But, how can I hold on to a dollar if there is one with nothing next to me? Yes, internal struggle for sure.

Anchor, oh your thoughts...they are so good. Do you want to know what I told Mike? Actually, I continually tell him these things, no kidding. I love you no matter what. We will be okay no matter what. Today, in fact, I told him that just because we don't have a Retirement Plan as such right this minute does NOT mean one will not avail itself. We will be taken care of if we are on the right path. I know you (him) are in my future, and I am in yours (his)...and together we can tackle anything. For heaven's sake, we've been married for...19 years in a couple of weeks.

I tell him that he has inner strength, and it is there for the asking. I remind him to pray, as this is something he feels comfortable doing, and he feels better afterwards...hey, it works - do it. I tell him to tune into the spiritual, that he has Guardian Angels...or...I try to give him all the reminders I can of things that are important to him so that he may choose something that has worked for him before, all the while knowing I cannot choose for him.

What do I want, or what is it I would ask for - if I could ask for anything in the world? I would ask that Spirit be with Mike so that choice that will lead to the highest good avails itself, and that he makes that choice. Because if I know that is the choice made, there is NO doubt in my heart that All is Well.

When bipolar enters, when our own insecurities enter, when earthly concerns enter - money, school, that kind of stuff, we can only make the best decision based on those things. But when the highest good comes into the picture and the decision is made for that, I will be able to get up every morning thereafter and KNOW - without even a shadow of a doubt - that all those earthly concerns are/will be taken care of.

Mike is...well...on his path. And he thanks me for being there, but because of...I don't know why...part of his processing mechanism... I just don't want him to do anything stupid. (I may not mean that like it sounds?) UNLESS that is in the highest good.

So the whole things goes round and round, and truly if I know that I have asked, for the most loving reason, that he have a booster shot...that means that Spirit will find him and possibly help him to see clearly the choice for the highest good without allowing other things to bog up the process... Thank you, Anchor.

Much Love Village,

Beautiful words here EagleSpirit. Namaste. To add my personal experience with Avalon is i have felt closely attached to Gaia and Nature after becoming a vegetarian. I believe this diet change has raised my awareness and vibrational frequencys tremendously thereby moving me closer with nature and everything that exists here and in this universe. To add further I have had some moments of Bliss when i felt directly attached with the consciousness of trees and plantlife if you will. As we raise our frequencys we can become more sensitive to nature.

[1inMany]

Ya know, all your words have got me to thinking...especially about what I ask for when I say a booster shot. I really don't know what he needs, I'm not that kind of good lol. But I do know that, much like Reiki, if I come with a humble heart and ask this Village for help, whatever it is that he needs is what will be. The facts are that he has an illness that guides him into his own hell from time to time and that I must try to shield, or buffer, myself and children and grandchildren when that happens. I sometimes lack the strength, or maybe the confidence, to do that by myself. I've just started on this path, and I am constantly aware of how little I "know." And lately I have been feeling like the bubble I use for myself et al...feels like it's waning for some reason. I live by a "first do no harm" type of rule in life, and then I just follow my heart. Sometimes, Mike ...um... brings some external/internal influences that I feel ill-equipped to handle. So I ask for help. I don't know what kind of help comes, but I know it is sent from the heart because I can feel it sometimes. And that will provide whatever he needs or we need in order to make the choices he needs. I know that when we ALL begin to have the same type of symptoms it may be a cold, a virus, whatever...that the energy we receive will help us heal. Same goes with any other influences that are infringing on the process. I just don't know enough, and I'm not far enough along with things. I share my aha! moments, revelations and such, and while they are HUGE to me, I know they are just a bunch of drivel in the whole scheme of things.

Much Love,

Have bookmarked MW and Anchors posts. They both spoke to that part of me that I cant see, but feel. They filled my eyes with watery love. And I can touch that!

I have a dear friend who, many years ago, pointed out my poverty consciousness. There were many hard lessons during the de-programming. Am grateful for all.
