Breakfast thoughts

Although I rarely eat breakfast, I realize that after sleeping, when starting to think consciously again, we are breaking that fast of unconscious thought, waking up, starting to think (with thought) again. Yet, it seems that many, many humans go to sleep and forget to wake up again... they stop to think and forget to start... Many people do not think consciously!

Thinking consciously means that you choose the thoughts you want to experience. If you want to experience joy, you must start to think joyful thoughts. Try it. Can't hurt. Think consciously. There are other tools... Meditation, treatment... other forms of spiritual practice, that open up the heart and bring the thinking in alignment with the higher self.

Today, think what you want to think, feel what you want to feel and place no limitation on that Spirit with in you!

Donuts are diet food???

I came to that realization at about 12:30 this after noon.. just a few moments ago... that I believe that donuts are diet food! I know it's not true, but it has been for me for a long, long time... Let me explain.

One time in my early life it was my joy and pleasure to sit with the 'women's group' on Tuesday mornings. My Mom's girlfriends would come over, they would eat donuts, drink coffee or iced tea and talk about diets and weight loss and other such gossip, so I learned to associate donuts as a food you eat when you talk about diets. I learned that I must diet to be thin and acceptable, and as I grew up, I decide that diet and donut went together. Indeed, when I did not lose enough weight, I ate more donuts. Then I had the desire to lose weight again and after failing, eat more donuts.. I loved the donuts, I created the experience of failure because eating donuts does not make one lose weight. The donuts served as both the nurturing from the good memories of being allowed to watch the women and listen to their secrets, satisfaction of the warm, sweet taste it left in my mouth. Please realize that by donuts I mean donuts, but to a much broader extent, I mean all sweets, mostly.

I realize how much effect our memories have on our present moment. Actually it seems that we create our present moment out of the memories of the past. It is our consciousness and our willingness to allow the greater consciousness of humanity to guide us OR the greater will of that greater/wiser part of yourself that is connected to everything, including, but not limited to the All of the All.
I notice that when I limit my consciousness to the greater consciousness of humanity, I don't seem to have as positive, joyful results as when I harness my consciousness to the greater Good of All.

For the past14 years I have been descending down into a private, personal hell that cumulated, I believe when I got fired last January. I am still hurt and I am still wanting to blame their malicious acts for my demise but the truth is that it was my own consciousness, my own beliefs, the contrast between what I was doing and what I wanted to BE. The Good won out, it always does, but because I believed I couldn't make the choices myself, I was buoyed around by the will of my place of work and that will was not healthy for me. Totally against my ethics and I felt I was unethical working there. Yet fear of poverty and depravity kept me there. I loved my job, but the place was sick..

The point was, that after that I fell to the bottom of my bottom. I became very withdrawn and inward bound, went through some pretty hellish places in my own consciousness. When I was 22 I promised myself that I would do what ever it took for my own conscious evolution, no matter how painful it felt. I always have known that I was always loved and cared for by something greater, stronger, wiser than myself. In the pit of my own depression I revived that intention, to walk through what was there, regardless of how 'hard or painful' it might be. I had no where to go but up. I had a passion for life so intense that I could not let up, yet the contradictory statement of my life was that I seemed to believe that I MUST lose everything before I could gain anything. So, I did. Lose everything. I was still taken care of, though.. and when I started allowing the Universe, Spirit, God to take care of me, I was taken care of in ways that I could not fathom before and it was amazing! (yes, Patricia, amazing!!) awesome, fabulous, mythical, magical every day experience! As I released the need to HAVE, I was given more than I could imagine.

Today is my 41st birthday, the start of my 42nd year and my 6th cycle on this planet... I know that this year will hold as much good as I can imagine and I've realized that I have NO limits to my imagination, so I suspect I have no limits to what I can achieve, have, give, share and allow! I intend to fully accept my good from now until I become my good, which will happen later, when I am ready.. Becoming my good! All the spiritual Masters have taught that!

So, no.. Now I know that donuts are not diet food.. I can choose health a lot more easier now that I know that I have changed my thinking! Spirituality promises me that when I change my thinking, my life changes, too!

Suddenly it hit me....

out of no where, an odor offensive enough to make a growing boy proud. I looked around for the dog, naturally, because Jon was not home, but Buford was nowhere in site, nor where the cats. Spooky was eating and looked at me with sheer indignation when I suggested that the odor might be her expulsion. Then I realized what it was... One of the 'girls' had left a morning sooper-dooper pooper.

See what I have to put up with????

Tonya came home in an altered state last night... (family members would be humored to remember, "here, kitty, kitty, kitty" ) If you don't know ask about it in the 'comments' section and my mom can answer them, she would LOVE to tell you all about it!

Annnnyyywayyyyyy.... she figured I'd be mad at her, but I know that the consequence of her choice will hit her when she wakes up... I couldn't put that kind of punishment on her... It's Karma... although Tonya insists on call it bad luck. Ha!

Ernest Holmes said that there was no sin but a mistake and no punishment but a consequence... and you can't get it wrong, the Universe is folding out excatly like it's suppose to. Don't you agree?

God Between the Molecules

For years I've been trying to find and refine my definition of God. I have tried NOT to call that 'Thing' that is everything, God because of what it meant for so many people.. Ugh, an angry, controlling, evil watching, hard ass, do as I say, not as I do type God... my higher self asked my lower self, I mean; in my meditation I had this flash of intuition.. "this isn't working, redefine and teach them your definition of God". I just said Yes!

Here is my story and my re-definition of God:
God is that space between all the molecules. Since we can literally see, going small enough, there are really not any molecules, God is all that space. God is all possibility and all potentiality. God is the wave and the particle. The particle is life, the wave is energy and it is every where, all the time. The particle becomes form, life... and the wave energizes the form. God exists as time and space, all possibility and all potentiality. This space between the molecules, this space that is every where, at all times has the possibility to potentially BE anything. What is it that makes nothing become something???

My answer is that it is the observer. What is the observer? Good question. I think that it is the sum total of all potential, everything that is possible. What is possible? What is NOT possible? Really, think about it. So, the sum total of all things is the Observer. ( I felt an urge to capitalize this really huge thing, the Observer) But here's the best part... I think WE are the Observer! Or rather, the Observer(being the sum total of all things) becomes ALL THAT IT OBSERVES. Hence, we are the Observer. We have form, and we observe. We are made of particles and energy. We have potential to become anything that is possible. Anything is possible. Dare to believe it!

Aren't convinced? Just imagine the possibility if that were true! Would believing that make you experience more freedom?

I bet the Wright brothers imagined flying; soaring through the skies, feeling a great and holy sense of Freedom. I bet they studied all the previous wisdom on flying, I bet they studied how God accomplishes it. If you can imagine it, you will see it happening some where in that space between the molecules. Remember that space between the molecules contains all possibility and the potential to become what it is that you see! So, they imagined, they saw themselves doing it, studied the wisdom of the ages and experienced it in nature and the figured out how to do it.
Do you imagine that when the Wright brothers flew for the first time, that they felt FREEDOM? I imagine they did!!

Back to the Observer. When the Observer observes the space between the molecules where everything is possible and they see a potential, that potential is immediately formed. Depending on the amount of observation on this potential, the stronger, larger, denser the form. The form becomes a mold in which becomes filled with that space of all potential and all possibility.
What we observe becomes form. And even though form is always filled with all possibility and any potential, it becomes...inside the form...that which observed IN the form. IF in that space of all possibility I see fearful, sad, bad, evil things, that is what form possibility is going to take. It becomes potential fear, sadness, badness and evil. The more fear, sadness, badness and evil that the Observer sees in the form, the more the space of all possibility becomes filled with that potential. The potential becomes form, and the more the Observer observes the form, the stronger, bigger it gets.

So, the lesson there, Dear Reader is to see only good things in the space between the molecules.

My world is moving tooo fast

I have a question I was pondering and I thought I'd share: Why does the physical world seem to be such a contrast to spiritual? Answer is that it's not. Yet I started this thread of thought, prompted by the Biblical quote, " . . . In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world." John 16:33. Of course that's Jesus being quoted, and I am sure it's right; after all, it was only a few hundred years after he left this planet that it was wrote down! Also, remember Jesus was quoted as saying something like, "anything I can do, you will do and more.." So, it must be true that WE must over come the "world".

The world in biblical means the physical form. Imagine this; everything in the world, our physical world, the earth and everything that is created; either by US or Something greater than us, is made from the same thing and it comes from the same source! The world exists because it is NOT contrast to the spiritual world, but a slower, massive vibration of the spiritual world. Having awareness of the spiritual world, there is a whole new set of rules to play by! We are living in a spiritual world and having a spiritual experience!! Yet, the Biblical world is that world that has slowed down... a place where humanbeings are infinite Spirit having an individual expression as ME!

I've evolved to a space where I know that the only game in town is that this is a spiritual universe. The world, the earth, the matter of this plane of existence is still spiritual, just slowed down in vibration to the point that mass gathers! We are always fully supported by the laws of the Universe! Physical beings in this dimension attract energy to themselves the same frequency as we release energy. The energy that is attracted produces the experiences that we have.

So, since Jesus was just another "infinite Spirit having a individual expression as ME", then I am too. And since Jesus (and other masters, that have come to teach and lead us) said that what they could do, we could do and more,
then I too will over come the world!

long winded ramblings..

The Nature of Spirit
One Mind… present everywhere, always, in all things, as all things. Spirit/Intelligence is the Earth and the rock. It is the Ocean and the raindrop. It is the Fire and the spark. It is the Hurricane and the summer breeze. It is the Mountain AND the molehill.

Energy/Intelligence does not care if it is the storm or the calm, it is both, and water does not mind if it flows through the rapid cursing river or the wide, meandering stream, it is both. This Energy and Intelligence that becomes all things comes from nowhere, according to our physical senses, yet it is everywhere and is all things.


The Nature of Me
The difference between me and the rock, raindrop, spark and breeze is that I have some level of conscious awareness. I can choose what to think, how to feel, where to go, what to experience. The rock and I are made of the same things, yet I breathe and I move and I sing and laugh and dance. I choose and that makes all the difference.

Being all things, this Energy and Intelligence is what I am. As I move and as I breathe and as I think, I am. Because I duplicate the nature of Energy and Intelligence, I can be any thing. As I think, as I feel, I create.

I am vibration, which is energy. I am consciousness, which is Intelligence. I have the capacity to KNOW who I AM. I have some intelligence to choose WHO I am and WHAT I am. I duplicate the nature of Spirit as ME. I can do ANYTHING that I can conceive in my mind. I can’t do everything; I have physical limits, at this time. Evolution of my Spirit-Self renders even physical limitations a choice. The All does not care what the I is or does, IT is all things. It does not delight, It is. I call it Spirit because for me, that is the highest Ideal I can imagine with my limited physical senses, but this is good because as I evolve in my own spiritual expression, which means Spirit-Self, more and more becomes revealed to me.

Duplicating the Nature of Spirit in ME
I affirm for myself the power of choice in every single thought and feeling and action! I affirm that I choose thoughts, feelings and actions that bring forth joyful experiences. I’ve decided that Joy is the highest consciousness for me, and it is my Intention to think joyful thoughts and feel joy and take action that creates experiences of joy as my life! I simply allow Spirit, which is everything, to BE Joy as me. My life that is as Spirit, then becomes as I desire it, as I intend for it! My thoughts bring my feelings, which brings my experience… my own unique experience. I USE the Energy and call it Mind or thinking or feeling… I use it uniquely according to my unique thoughts! Not one person has all the same thoughts as another, yet we all use the same mechanism for thought and feeling. Everything I experience in the outside world is created from the same energy and intelligence that is everything. Everything is a vibration. Vibrations like to match. I think, I feel and I take action, which creates a Vibration… I include in my vibration the things i think about, which creates feeling, which tells the vibration which frequency to vibrate in. Depending on the frequency of my own special vibration, i attract TO me, the same Energy frequency. The question then becomes; what do I want to have/be in my experience? How long do I want it to last? How good do I want it? We can’t seem to answer what our Spirit-Self has as lessons, but what I believe is that the more evolved I am the better it gets, so what ever I have now, regardless of how Good I think it is, has the potential of getting even better! So, I want good. I want experiences that are fun, joyful, loving, abundant, opulent, balanced, beautiful, free, harmonious, peaceful, feelings of unity, wise. I take time to remember this Intention and change the very thoughts in my own unique mind. I do this to reflect the Intention of LOVE that I’ve set, the highest vibration I can feel, to experience the best adventures I can. I can only do this for ME. We all have the potential for anything we can imagine. This is good stuff!

Thank you..
Gratitude feels good. Gratitude gets me to thinking of good things in my life. I remember that I am in charge of my thinking and I relax and remember to appreciate the good in my life. I want more good, I appreciate whatever form that good is appearing in the moment, in the Now. When I groove on the good in the NOW, I automatically get Good in the Future. What feelings I think from, I experience. Thinking thoughts of appreciating brings more things to appreciate! It is my intention to stop often and appreciate how Life is showing up for me.

Let the Spirit have Its way...

Robert had seen on a church sign one time, "let the Lord have His way"..and after laughing, laughing and laughing about the visual, we decided that letting Spirit have It's way was a pretty nifty trick for the human being!

The thing is, when we can live from our spiritual mind and not the animal-human instinctual mind, we some how seem to have a more rewarding, enriched, loving life. Things seem to be more easy and life seems to arrive at our awareness in a way that allows us to make choices that are more related to the "Qualities of God".

I think that letting Spirit have Its way with my life means that I live more in harmony with that greater Life that is around me. I have no deep understanding of the why grass comes up in the spring, but I know that it does and I know that there is intelligent people on this earth that understand that process more than I do. So, I refer to them. But there are things that no one seems to understand, and to that I defer to something that, while with in me is more than I am. That is Spirit! Living in harmony with that greater awareness of Spirit we find that life is more peaceful.

The answer, I think in living more in Harmony with Spirit is in doing spiritual practices.. We practice them until we embody them, then we are living those spiritual practices. The ones that work for ME are meditation, journaling, group spiritual practice, Treatment and just conversing with people who are like-minded!

It's all a journey that we are on.. and I just want to remind people that it's easy to live in Harmony with that Spirit within when you do *some* spiritual practice!


Let the Spirit have It's way with your life!
