After thirty years of teaching Inner City, Special Education students and forty-five years of metaphysical studies, I have decided to share my life's philosophical understandings on this wonderful website. For me, everything in my life has been a spiritual experience from being raised in an alcoholic household, to marriage and teaching, and finally caring for an Alzheimer parent. I have sought at least fifteen, personal psychic readings to try and assist me as a wife, teacher and caretaker. I want to share the wisdom that I have gained from following the valuable spiritual guidance from my inner knowing and from heeding the advise of channeled answers from trusted psychics. At almost 70 years old, I am writing, traveling and enjoying retirement in Florida.

You Will Get Different Results

“As your vibrational energy becomes more positive and balanced, you will actually feel lighter; the density of carrying a weight of anxiety will diminish and you will stop worrying about outcomes you cannot control.  Instead, you will decide to direct positive focus on things working out for the best of all concerned.

Our channeled friends, Bashar, Seth, and Abraham, have something further to add to this:

‘It is important to action your highest excitement every moment – the vibration energy that represents your true natural self.  Act this way with zero expectation as to what the outcome ought to be and you will be walking the optimal path, no matter how it looks.’ ~Bashar

“To change the physical effect you must change the original belief – while being quite aware that for a time physical materialization of the old beliefs may still hold.. If you completely understand what I am saying however, your new beliefs will – and quickly – begin to show themselves in your experience.  But you must not be concerned for their emergence, for this brings up the fear that the new ideas will not materialize and so this negates your purpose.’  ~ Seth

Notice the particular emphasis on acting without concern or checking to see if results are happening.  It’s a bit like the old adage: ‘A watched pot never boils’; or not digging up seeds to see if they have started germinating – just days after you have planted them.

It’s as if the act of looking for changes in external physical feedback gets in the way of them occurring.  I would suggest this is due to having a limiting or controlling expectation of how you think something should or could happen and not trusting, or allowing, that alternative outcomes could be just as possible.

‘The key is, you have to find ways of improving the way you feel from right where you stand before things can begin to change.  By softening your attention to the things that are going wrong, and by beginning to tell stories that lean more in the direction of what you want instead of in the direction of what you have got, your vibration will shift; your point of attraction will shift – and you will get different results.’  ~ Abraham

As Within, So Without

“I think most of us would like to live in a kinder world. A world where people are lifted up and affirmed, appreciated for their best qualities, and treated with compassion and understanding when they come up short. I know I would.

Maybe the way to do this is to begin with ourselves. After all, how can we fully receive the kindness of others, really take it in, when we are unable or unwilling to give it to ourselves? What could life be like if our inner voice was kind and patient, encouraging and loving?

It’s easier to see the good qualities in others, especially those we love. How effortlessly we build them up, celebrate their victories large and small, honor their gifts, and see their best efforts shining through their mistakes and missteps.

If we were able to do that for ourselves, it would be easier to take the kind words of others to heart, to believe the best about ourselves.”

Your Social Environment

“The company you keep is important.  If you leave your coat in a room where people are smoking, pretty soon it will smell of smoke.

If you leave it outside in the garden, later on, when you bring it indoors, it will carry with

it the fragrance of fresh air and flowers.

Such is the case with the mind.  Your garment of thoughts absorbs the vibrations of those with whom you mix.

If you mingle with pessimists, in time you will become a pessimist.  And if you mingle with cheerful, happy people, you yourself will develop a cheerful, happy nature.

Environment is stronger than willpower. 

To mix with worldly people without absorbing at least some of their worldliness requires great spiritual strength.

Beginners on the spiritual path, especially, should be very careful in the company they keep.  They should mix with other devotees, and try not to mingle with ego-saturated, worldly people.

They should especially avoid people who are negative, even if those people are devotees.

Whether one becomes a saint or a sinner is to a great extent determined by the company he keeps.”

True Balance Is Inner Balance

“Life is chaotic, with so many things to do, and so many places to go. And in all the outer activity we lose our sense of balance, be that ecological, health, or work-life balance. The inner balance is what Osho calls, ‘true balance.’

Osho says, ‘Life has to be lived in all its dimensions, only then is a life rich. Balance is something that comes out of the experience of all the dimensions of life.

Balance is something that HAPPENS; it is not something that can be BROUGHT. If brought, it will be false, forced, and if you bring it you will remain tense, you will not be relaxed, because how can a man who is trying to remain balanced, in the middle, be relaxed? He will always be afraid: if he relaxes he may start moving towards the left or towards the right—he is bound to remain uptight. And to be uptight is to miss the whole opportunity, the whole God-given gift.

I don’t teach you the middle way: I teach you the total way. And then a balance comes of its own accord. And then that balance has tremendous beauty and grace—you have not forced it, it has Come. By moving gracefully to the left, to the right, in the middle, slowly slowly, a balance COMES to you, because you remain so unidentified.

When sadness comes you know it will pass, and when happiness comes you know it will pass too. Nothing remains. Everything passes by. The only thing that always abides is your witnessing. That witnessing brings balance. That witnessing is balance.

In our logical minds, balance happens between opposite things. In reality, balance means the disappearance of the opposition, the two becoming one, their diametrically opposite ways merging into one, melting into one reality. That is balance, true balance.’  Osho”

Non-Attachment in Buddhism

“In Buddhism, non-attachment is a mental state that involves interacting with our experiences, thoughts, and feelings without trying to control or fixate on them. It means not getting stuck on specific outcomes or clinging too tightly to desires, fears, or self-concepts.

The Buddha taught that our self-concepts are impermanent and subject to change. We must not hold onto fixed ideas of who we are, our thoughts, or our feelings too tightly and embrace ‘non-attachment to self.’

Embracing this fluidity reduces suffering and enhances personal growth as it cultivates a life free from the pressures and anxieties of needing things to be a certain way. This enhances our ability to deal with life’s inevitable changes and challenges, allowing us to live more fully and with greater ease in the world.”
