What About It?

As I gradually recognized the pain of trying to control the outcome of my life, of holding on to a dream that wasn't true for me, that was simply a conditioned belief; I finally arrived at this place of profound peace and ever new Bliss that comes from letting go, surrendering, trusting the process of life, and of savoring the Joy we are meant to experience.  

"From Joy we have come. In joy we live and move and have our being.  And in that sacred perennial joy we melt again."~ Bhagavad Gita 

"...men ARE that they might have JOY." ~ 2 Nephi 2:25   

2013 Life really is a dream.

I am now in a place of experiencing and appreciating heaven on earth, by practicing Loving what is, awareness, compassion, forgiveness, renewed innocence, integrity, and being with what is, in gratitude.  The journey of my life to nirvana then, is the   unwinding of what isn’t me, to what is.  I AM THAT I AM.  

My current Philosophy is that Love is the most powerful force in the Universe, and Free Will is the Law on this peculiar planet.

For me to be able to let go, surrender, and trust, I became aware of some basic principles of life as I see it, and keys to moving forward, that I will be sharing throughout my story, as follows:  

• Three basic levels of creation we participate in, in the physical realm. Gratitude is the key to moving forward in all things.
• Whatever we are conditioned to believe, or choose to believe, that is established in our subconscious mind, governs what we experience.
• Any Belief System (B.S.) can be a prison of the mind.  Living in the mystery of "What if?" goes beyond belief and opens all possibilities. 
• We experience life and create or react from instinctual, progressive psychological stages of the psyche.  These stages may possibly be mapped out in the Bible.
  
• Our humanity in duality wants to be honored and fully experienced. 
• We attract people and experiences to us, based on the vibration or frequency we hold ourselves in, and the lessons our soul wants to learn or is willing to receive.  Like attracts like. 
• What I refer to as "The Process of Life" can be recognized and understood in the patterns of history whether in the ancient writings, or witnessing nature herself, or looking back on our own personal journey.    
• All judgements are projections.  The outer world reflects our inner beliefs and dialogue.  The question here is "What is it in me, that I don't see the world as perfect?"
• Be a witness of what you judge, how you react or respond to each experience in each moment.  
• Meditation and dreams can provide insight into the world of the subconscious mind.  Self awareness, or being a witness of your thoughts and behavior can accelerate your healing through self correction.
• Listening really is the greatest act of love to yourself and others.
• Measurable steps through the three levels of co-creation for receiving bliss.

My passion is connecting soul to soul with others, with the intention of discovering our oneness.  I appreciate all the points of view, experiences, and insights of others on an authentic level.  In this way I have come to appreciate the beauty and richness of the process of life as it unfolds in an ever new horizon.  May the “Pearls” I’ve gathered along the way in my journey resonate in some way, so that our oneness may be realized in our human experience.

I am thankful for all of the experiences that have made me who I am

I would be honored to hear your points of view.  Feel free to leave comments.

Writing a Book? Oh My!

I kept having dreams about being in a gathering of people, needing to get something done, or clean up a big mess.  Everyone in the dream, including me, seemed not to be interested in engaging in the project.  They were just relaxing and usually eating. There was always a feeling that it was my responsibility to clean up or organize the stacks of whatever was lying about.  It felt overwhelming to me without someone's help.  Yet I knew the responsibility was mine.  Dreams tell us a lot about what is going on in the subconscious mind.  Information that is helpful in self discovery.

For the past fifteen years I keep hearing people request that I write a book about some of the things I've learned and philosophies I've obtained as a result of my Spiritual path.  I finally attempted preparing to write in 2010, and noticed a lot of resistance showing up within me as I gathered my myriad notes.  

It feels overwhelming because of how detailed I tend to be.  Then my head goes wild with stories about who would bother to read it after putting so much time and effort into it?  Will it be so detailed, people will be bored with it?  Who do I think I am to write a book?  

Success seems pretty frightening to most human beings. At the same time, the desire to pay forward the many pearls I've received from others who took the time to share what was given them, urges me on.  The encouragement from those who treasure those pearls in their lives speaks to me as well.  My intention is to write about the natural process of Life on Earth as I experience, and perceive it. 

I noticed myself doing a lot of avoidance drifting, allowing everything else to distract me, i.e. eating, visitors, video games, TV, or creating time consuming issues trying to clean up other projects so I can focus on this one.  Does any of this sound familiar?

With the assistance of my amazing soul sister, Marinna Siri, www.TheCoreInitiative.com  I came to realize the mess in the dream represented all the information I have been gathering since 2010, in preparation for my book. She also assisted me in recognizing a birth pattern of being stuck in the moment I am ready to launch a project.  Very similar to my own birth experiences.  

At my own birth, Mother was afraid to birth me with no assistance. Dad was out fetching the doctor 50 miles away.   She was all alone and I was coming fast.   They arrived barely in time to catch me.   

Then, giving birth to my babies, I experienced long and hard laboring with very little progress.   Sometimes the outcome was fraught with complications and/or 
complete failure.  

Completions free up my energies. Get going!
