Walk a Mile for a Camel?

Paraphrasing the most awakened man in history is always fun! Jesus said in so many words, "It is easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to achieve the kingdom of heaven."

Churches, in their infinite convenient wisdom, will often take that type of proverb and turn it into a sales pitch for the donation plate, insinuating that Jesus meant that riches are evil, so "leave them all here with us and you will be poor and thus able to reach heaven faster." Ha! How convenient...and how wrong!

What is being said is what we have previously discussed....that by concentrating on the "worldly" side, which is the ego's side of the mind, one ignores the inner light that needs to be accessed in order to return to spirit, the "correct" side of our mind. So the proverb really means, to paraphrase again, "If you concentrate on the world all the time, you are making the dream-world into a reality for you, and you will never even begin to listen to spirit, which beckons you back to the real world, but only if you choose to listen."

I can't tell you how many times I notice that by tuning out the world through forgiveness and "I Love You," the world just becomes such a better place to me. Things go better, people are nicer, I have to compare it again to fixing the projector. So much better than using a Sharpie(TM) on the screen!

Another Projector Repaired!

A very "aware" acquaintance who I have learned a lot from had never heard of the "clearing" we have learned. I introduced her to our "clearing" method. She had some fantastic results which she credits directly to saying "I Love You" over and over to the source inside her mind.
She had been stressing over an upcoming trip....how would she get to the airport? Also, she had investment property that needed to be prepped to be ready to rent but who would do it and where would the money come from? To boot, she had a daughter who never communicated and she had felt badly about the distance between her and this child.
Shortly after learning of the clearing method I teach, she miraculously was approached by someone who would be glad to give her a free ride to the airport. Incredibly, she ran into a handyman who did the entire paint and repair job quickly and well on her investment property for a very reasonable fee. Yes, you guessed it. Her daughter called out of the blue, in tears, wanting to finally let it all out and communicate.
I have paraphrased a bit for this posting, but this new seeker is convinced it is the clearing that brought all this good fortune very quickly into her life. This is an experienced metaphysical woman, but she learned a shortcut to peace and prosperity, and I wanted to share her experiences with all of you.
Persistence is the key.......try mentally saying "I Love You" today as often as you can, while emptying your mind of all past thoughts and future worries. I promise you will be glad you did, and I look forward to your email describing the miracles you will soon be experiencing.

The Inspiration Age is here!

We were all promised such a bright future. Remember the end of the Space Age? At the beginning of the Information Age? I do! Work weeks in the wonderful future would be shorter, because machines would do all the work! Well, work weeks are very short indeed, just ask anyone who is unemployed!

With this wonderful new Age, who would have dreamed that most families would need at least two workers to bring home enough dough to pay the rent?! Treaties like NAFTA and CAFTA have moved jobs out of the USA but brought no new jobs in. Are we better off than our parents' generation? Has all this Information Overload really helped us? It has helped the banks and the government! I won't start down that slippery slope here though!

My point is this.....people are realizing that there "has got to be more!" But it is not "things" they seek, it is something less tangible. But more important. "Things" didn't satisfy anybody, therefore people are turning inward more and more to find the happiness that has eluded them. I propose that finding the inner light is what they need. Our four-step program can accomplish this! In an instant! Never forget, we are not content with future happiness!

Are we having fun......?

A friend wrote after listening to some rather dry cd's about all these metaphysical topics, and wondered aloud "Where is all the fun?" It made me think to say the least. But an answer as usual was found close by. The fun is that in this world, we do not have to perform perfect behavior. Behavior is irrelevant as long as we are forgiving everything we see. The truth, which simply IS, it doesn't need to be "found" or "figured out," is the idea that only spirit actually exists. The Source or Spirit or God, whatever you want to call that which is in you and nowhere else, is very unconcerned with what goes on in our daytime dreams of this earth. As long as you are forgiving everything here, let inspiration guide your actions and you cannot go wrong, and fun is a big part of the "Happy Dream" which is our goal right now, not in some imagined future which doesn't exist and never will. Perfect forgiveness yes, perfect behavior? NO!

Einstein....and You!

Albert Einstein, creator of the Theory of Relativity and e=mc^2, had major problems with the discoveries of quantum physics. He even called non-locality (the property of particles to behave as if they were still together even after being separated)as "Spooky action at a distance." Even the brilliant Einstein wanted things to be found to be the way they had always been assumed to be. He never reconciled this split with his contemporaries.

Wallace D. Wattles, a pioneering thinker of the early 20th century and author of "The Science of Getting Rich," also recognized this "spooky" action, but he merely called it "Thinking Stuff" that "fills every part of the universe."

I hereby propose that we can reconcile all this weird particle behavior and freakiness that even freaked out Einstein with the simple premise put forth in A Course in Miracles: that "all our time is spent in dreaming." That our waking mind is merely asleep on another level, and the real "us" is safe at home all the while we experience this dream/nightmare/trip.

"Nothing real can be threatened, nothing unreal exists." -A Course in Miracles

Giving thanks, and Short Term vs Long Term

Upon this day of Thanks, I would like to give thanks to everyone I have met and everyone I will meet. Without each other, how would we ever practice forgiveness?

Speaking of forgiveness, I consider that the "Long Term" exercise we are working on, and it is not as immediate or "Short Term" as the clearing we should do all day long. Memories, or stuck shared programs from the past that drag us all around the "River Wild" known as life never take a vacation! Why should our clearing ever stop? Miracles big and small are occuring every day for those of us who remember when the battle is raging to pause and observe our thoughts, occupy the present moment, and repeat all day long "I Love You" to the same source within us all. Do this all day long, and I challenge you to NOT see miracles occur on the screen in front of you all day long!

Perfection all around us

The way you react to the world on the screen "out there" directly affects how you feel, and how much peace is in your mind. How would you react to anything if you believed it was perfect? Wallace D Wattles in The Science of Being Great profers the thought that "the world and everything and everyone in it is perfect, just incomplete."
Each time you see another today, one whom we learned a while back after all was invited into your world by you, think of that person (or situation or event) as perfect though incomplete. Remember our "modified Golden Rule" states that how you treat others you treat yourself. Now following that thought process, we will be concluding today that we are perfect, though incomplete.
Try this thinking today, and see if it doesn't make you feel lighter and closer to the source.
