It is perfect and it is powerful. It is absolute wisdom. It is love without limit.
Every experience I have takes place within the Infinite arena of God. Whether I perceive it or not, the perfection, power, wisdom, and love of Spirit is present. Today, I open the gates of my perception to experience these qualities of God in all things. I’m ready to understand more fully. I’m ready to let go of confusion and doubt when things don’t look the way I think they should in an orderly universe. I’m ready to trust the power, presence, wisdom, love, and perfection of Spirit.
I send out mindful and compassionate thoughts, feelings, choices, and actions knowing they are the only things that can bring the experience of healing to this world. Blame, anger, suspicion, and other modes of inflammatory thinking do not serve. Bemoaning the events of the world doesn’t heal them, either. At the same time, I don’t distance myself from my experience of world events…I don’t close myself off. When I experience pain, I experience it fully. And then I consciously, gently, mindfully, and compassionately take the actions I can take within my life to relieve that suffering. I take actions in the world that are informed by a serene awareness that no matter what happens, God is in this, Love is in this, and nothing can ever take that away.
This day, I choose to let my awareness of the power of my inner life be heightened. I use this innate power skillfully and compassionately. I am grateful for this ability to change my thinking and change my life…and all life.
Don’t you all even try and act like you already knew this either.
I had to go into the kitchen and check this out for myself. Whoever looks at the end of your aluminum foil box? You know when you try to pull some foil out and the roll comes out of the box. Then you have to put the roll back in the box and start over. The darn roll always comes out at the wrong time.
Well, I would like to share this with you. Yesterday I went to throw out an empty Reynolds foil box and for some reason I turned it and looked at the end of the box. And written on the end it said, Press here to lock end. Right there on the end of the box is a tab to lock the roll in place. How long has this little locking tab been there? I then looked at a generic brand of aluminum foil and it had one, too. I then looked at a box of Saran wrap and it had one too! I can’t count the number of times the Saran wrap roll has jumped out when I was trying to cover something up.
I’m sharing this with my friends. I hope I’m not the only person that didn’t know about this. Did you know about this? Let me know if you did or did not know.
You don’t expect to accept anything less then what you deserve. The problem is that you seem to have forgotten what you do deserve. Remember it today through us that have been sent to you. Angels surround you every moment. See us everywhere and we will give you the greatest gift the world can offer. You will know that you have received this gift when you experience the peace and love that surpasses this world. Remember that we love you and we are here for you always.
This is dramatic proof that collective consciousness changes what we believe to be true. Jmac proves that if you want it bad enough you can make it happen. The entire school wanted this to happen too so it did! Everyone can have what they want if they truly believe it is possible.
With a clean mind and heart, we will all come through what we are being challenged by these days. As Clarisa Pinkola Estes says so well, this is what you were made for.
What You Were Made For
by Clarisa Pinkola Estes
My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized, visionary people.
You are right in your assessments. The lustre and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plain of engagement.
I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind. Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Even though your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless.
In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails. We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn’t you say you were a believer? Didn’t you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn’t you ask for grace? Don’t you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater?
Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. It is not given to us to know which acts or by whom, will cause the critical mass to tip toward an enduring good. What is needed for dramatic change is an accumulation of acts, adding, adding to, adding more, continuing. We know that it does not take everyone on Earth to bring justice and peace, but only a small, determined group who will not give up during the first, second, or hundredth gale.
One of the most calming and powerful actions you can do to intervene in a stormy world is to stand up and show your soul. Soul on deck shines like gold in dark times. The light of the soul throws sparks, can send up flares, builds signal fires, causes proper matters to catch fire. To display the lantern of soul in shadowy times like these-to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do.
There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.
