WHEN YOU LET GO...

When You Let Go...
What happens when you LET GO?  It is a scary place to be when you let go and it can also be an exciting place to be, when you simply let go of the CONTROL in your life.  WHO or WHAT THEN IS IN CONTROL? WHO or WHAT DO YOU TRUST?
 
"When you LET GO you are no longer holding something... SOMETHING IS HOLDING YOU!" -- Nat, Numerologist.com

TRUST UNIVERSAL LIFE in the NOW!  TRUST IN SOMETHING BIGGER THAN YOURSELF!

"You know you're surrendered to GOD when you rely on GOD to work things out instead of trying to manipulate others, force your agenda, and control the situation. You LET GO and let GOD work. You don't have to always be in charge. Instead of trying harder, you TRUST more." -- Rick Warren, Daily Hope

I am conscious of being in this PROCESS right now in my life experience and I am PREDISPOSED to LET SOMETHING BIGGER THAN MYSELF HOLD ME.  Letting go is not the most comfortable thing to do, but I believe it is the BEST thing to do.  As always... it is your CHOICE!

THE WAY TO THE TREASURE IS WITHIN...

The Way to the Treasure is Within...
This morning I received my much anticipated daily message from 'The School of Practical Philosophy'  this one entitled: 'Hidden Truth'.  I have heard this PARABLE before and totally agree with the PROFOUND timeless message of the Unknown Author, and wanted to share it with you.

"Long ago all human beings were gods, but they so abused their divinity that Brahma, the chief god, decided to take it away from them and hide it where humans would never find it again.

Where to hide their divinity was now the question. Brahma called together the other gods to help him decide. "Let's bury it deep in the earth," said one. Brahma answered, "No that will not do because humans will dig into the earth and find it."

Another god suggested, "Let's sink it in the deepest ocean." But Brahma said, "No, not there, for they will learn to dive into the ocean and they will find it."

The third god said, "Let's take it to the top of the highest mountain and hide it there." Once again Brahma replied, "No that will not do either, because they will eventually climb every mountain and once again find their divinity."

Then the gods gave up and said, "We do not know where to hide it. It seems that there is no place on earth or in the sea that human beings will not eventually reach."

Brahma thought about this for a long time and then said, "Here is what we will do. We will hide their divinity deep in the center of their own being, for humans will never think to look for it there."

All the gods agreed that this was the perfect hiding place, and so the deed was done. Since that time humans have been going up and down the earth, digging, diving, climbing, and exploring, searching for something that already resides within them." -- Unknown

The TREASURE truly is within each one of us, but you must do the work "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."  Matthew 7:7

JOYOUS MOTHER'S DAY... EVERYDAY!

JOYous Mother's Day... EVERYDAY!
Mother's are GOD's GIFT to mankind! Of course fathers figure in there as well, but today we CELEBRATE  "MOTHER"...

"Because I feel that in the heavens above
The angels, whispering one to another,
Can find among their burning tears of love,
None so devotional as that of "Mother,"
Therefore, by that dear name I have long called you,
You who are more than mother unto me."
-- Edgar Allan Poe

May Almighty Holy GOD BLESS and KEEP ALL "Mothers" everyday, all those who "Mother" who are not biologically connected to their children through fostering, adoption or children of a husband with children (I do not care for the term "step-child"), as well as females who are a natural "Mother" to anyone.

JOYous Mother's Day... I CELEBRATE YOU my own, myself, family and friends!

SIMPLY SURRENDER...

Simply Surrender...
SURRENDER to what is... ACCEPT THE PRESENT MOMENT NOW!  I truly do not know what is going on in the mind of someone else... not even my own, sometimes.  Therefore, if I do not know someone else's mind, they could not possibly know mine!  At this point we must just ACCEPT our self and others exactly as is in the present moment... NOW!

"Let everything happen to you, Beauty and Terror. Just keep going, No feeling is final."        - Rainer Maria Rilke
      
No feeling, no situation, no circumstance and no condition is final... so SURRENDER to the moment, it too shall pass.  Everyone must deal with their own demons: THOUGHTS, WORDS and other IMAGINARY things.  The thing is not to get caught up emotionally in other people's stuff, you have your own to surrender. FORGIVE them, wish them well and then LET THEM GO!

"SURRENDER is simply but profound WISDOM of yielding to rather than opposing the flow of life. The only place where you can experience the flow of life is the NOW, so to surrender is to accept the present moment unconditionally and without reservation."  'The POWER of NOW' by Eckhart Tolle

Simply SURRENDER to the GUIDE within yourself NOW, or walk your path alone... your CHOICE!

WHAT DO YOU HAVE IN MIND?

What Do You Have In Mind?
What "state of mind" do you INHABIT?  You can only inhabit one place at a time, it does not matter if you have multiple places, you can only BE in ONE place at one time... SO BE HERE NOW!

What "state if mind" are you in? You can tell what "state" you have wandered into by your experience and environment.  Check your INNER "GPS", or I like to think of it as "GOD's Purpose System", to see if you have ventured off onto a "purposeless" path.  This "GPS" only works for that which it stands: GOD's Purpose a "state of mind" for ALL GOOD.

You CHOOSE the "state of mind" you will inhabit.  You CHOOSE what you have in mind, and you will have it whatever IT is... your CHOICE!

BE OPEN, from your inner "state of mind" to Universal GOODNESS and it will be REFLECTED in your outer state of experience and environment.

“In WORDS are seen the state of mind and character and disposition of the speaker.” ― Plutarch

BELIEF IS THE CATALYST...

BELIEVE...
You must BEGIN with BELIEF. You must BELIEVE YOU CAN or else you will not take the first step that can lead to many other steps for new beginnings across the board in your life.
  
BELIEVING IS the CATALYST for that first step. BE BOLD IN YOUR RESOLUTION TO BELIEVE. TODAY I CHOOSE TO BELIEVE! 

“Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back — concerning all acts of initiative (and creation), there is one elementary truth that ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one’s favor all manner of unforeseen incidents and meetings and material assistance, which no man could have dreamed would have come his way.

Whatever you can do, or dream you can do, begin it. Boldness has genius, power, and magic in it. BEGIN IT NOW.“ - Goethe

BELIEVE!

THE WORD IS NOT CONTINGENT UPON...

The WORD...
ANYTHING outside of ITSELF.  The WORD becomes what the word IS.  Love IS LOVE. Peace IS PEACE.  Joy IS JOY... NOT CONTINGENT upon ANYTHING outside of the WORD itself.  It just is what it IS!  The attitude with which you express your word becomes that word expressed in the tone of your attitude.  It is the INTENTION behind the THOUGHT, which is a collection of WORDS that manifests accordingly.

However the WORD of GOD which is ALL GOOD is NOT contingent upon anything outside of itself.  The WORD of GOD can only be spoken with PRAISE and ADORATION. Look at the words: LOVE, PEACE and JOY. These words are PURE.  Your own interpretation will defile your experience of them, but the WORD in itself cannot be defiled, nor in PURITY be contingent  upon anything outside of itself.

"For beautiful eyes, look for the good in others; for beautiful lips, speak only WORDS of kindness; and for poise, walk with the knowledge that you are never alone." -  Audrey Hepburn

THOUGHTS ARE THINGS...

Thoughts are Things...
EVERY thing has its genesis  in THOUGHT! This is why it is of the utmost importance to THINK & SPEAK what you would truly like to MANIFEST in and as your life experience.

'Material vs the Spiritual Mind' "To thine own self be true" is an oft-uttered adage. But to which self? The HIGHER or lower? You have in a sense two minds -- the mind of the body and the mind of the Spirit." - 'Thoughts are Things' by Mulford Prentice
 
The HIGHER Mind is that of the Spirit, and the lower mind of the body illustrating THOUGHTS ARE THINGS.  The THOUGHT of the Higher Mind manifests in the body the lower mind.  "As above, so below..."

Today I was on the DB (Deutsche Bahn)  train travelling from Munich to Fussen, Germany when it began to rain framing the snow capped Mighty Alps in a fog & clouds, with raindrops on the windowpane of the train... it was MAGNIFICENT!  To look at these INCREDIBLE mountains gave me a feeling of GREATNESS rising from somewhere deep within my soul... barely finding the WORDS to describe how GREAT was the experience.

IMAGINE that these MIGHTY Alps came from HIGHER Mind THOUGHT in the BEGINNING eons ago to NOW... HOW GREAT THOU ART!

ONE...

ONE...
EVERY-ONE. WE ARE ALL... ONE.  We are each ONE.  ONE with each other.  One in BEING with the ONE BEING, the ONE CREATOR... GOD, which is ALL GOOD!  We are merely different EXPRESSIONS of the ONE, however WE ARE ONE!  THE APPEARANCE DOES NOT MATTER, AS IT IS NOT REAL.  THAT WHICH WE TRULY ARE CANNOT DIE, THE APPEARANCE WILL, however DIS-APPEAR.

During my morning meditation this PERCEPTION of ONENESS was deeply IMPRESSED upon my consciousness as if to make a point.  The meditation was quite INTENSE to the point that all outside of my conscious awareness APPEARED not to be there and I was COMPLETELY dissolved into the UNI-versal... ONENESS.  I shared this revelation with the young lady where I am currently staying in Munich, Germany and she totally got what I was saying, it was very exciting.  I FELT the ONENESS with her and everyone/thing around me.  As I continued to FOCUS on the ONENESS it continued to EXPAND.

Yesterday, was truly one of those mind expanding days as I ventured out into the rain (SHOWERS of BLESSINGS!).  I was helped by a very kind woman from France, living in Germany for many years, whom I asked what area it was I had wandered into, she inquired if I was alone and then offered to walk around with me, even though she was on her way home.  I was extremely GRATEFUL for this WONDERFUL woman and everything she shared with me. She showed me St. Johann Nepomuk, "better known as the Asam Church (German: Asamkirche) a Baroque church in Munich, southern Germany", which I have seen before but had not gone inside... INCREDIBLE.  We also visited St. Anna Damenstiftskirche, "a chapel in Munich, southern Germany, whose interior was created by the Asam brothers (Asam Church)".  We then walked through one of those AMAZING passageways leading to even more hidden TREASURES, that revealed several cafes offering different fare.  The area was so colourful with the flowers, outdoor umbrellas covering the brightly colourful table dressing and sculpture.  She showed me the famous authentic Bavarian restaurant Augustine which is tremendously large!  After about an hour of her GENEROUS time she bid me farewell and continued home.  As I enjoyed a cappuccino and Portuguese cake at Bricelta Cafe, "They say: Everything is fado . This typical Portuguese music style, which translates literally as meaning fate, lives of the saudade , the gentle melancholy, and of the desire.",  I breathed in the BLESSING of my journey and how very GRATEFUL I am!

This morning I read in 'The Power of NOW' a treasure by Eckhart Tolle... "An infinite number of completely different interpretations, completely different worlds, is possible and in fact, EXISTS - all depending on the PERCEIVING consciousness.  Every being (ONE) is a focal point of consciousness, and every such focal point CREATES its OWN world, although ALL those worlds are INTERCONNECTED."

WOW, this is INCREDIBLE, TRUE and mind EXPANDING, further confirming for me my PERCEPTION and our ONENESS of BEING... yours and mine with the ONE!

DIVINE PERCEPTION...

BEAUTY... from the ground up!
LET GO OF THE PAST IN THE PRESENT, IT IS BEHIND YOU.  I AM IN THE PRESENT NOW, LOOKING FORWARD TO THE FUTURE... NOW!     Q: WHERE AM I?  A: NOW... My new "comfort zone" is NOW!

You can't TALK about being in the NOW.  You must BE INTENSELY HERE RIGHT WHERE YOU ARE... NOW.

Whatever is going on this moment IS ALL THERE IS.  In this space NOW is EVERY THING REQUIRED IN IT, BECAUSE REMEMBER, NOW IS ALL THERE IS!  Let NOW reveal itself to you and through you... BE STILL, BREATHE, LISTEN TO THE SILENCE. MEDITATE ON THE NO-THING THAT IS EVERYTHING.  GO DEEP & DEEPER.

"Remember, that your PERCEPTION of the world is a REFLECTION of your "state of mind". - Eckhart Tolle  'The Power of NOW'

BEAUTY... from the ground up is how you perceive it!
