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.

True Love -Thich Nhat Hanh

“According to Buddhism, there are four elements of true love.

The first is maitri, which can be translated as loving-kindness or benevolence. The second element of true love is compassion, karuna.  The third element of true love is joy, mudita.  The fourth element is upeksha, equanimity or freedom.”

Thich Nhat Hanh explains freedom in true love… “When you love, you bring freedom to the person you love.  You must love in such a way that the person you love feels free, not only outside but also inside.

‘Dear one, do you have enough space to your heart and all around you?’  This is an intelligent question for testing out whether your love is something real.” 

 

Thich Nhat Hanh – “True Love,” p. 1-4

Connection With The Divine Creator

“It is in that Moment of Sacred Connection with the Divine Creator Source Energy of All That Is (however brief that moment may be) that we come to Know (Remember) that we are That; That which Is Love and Love is the only real thing.
This is the Moment of Recognition      (Re-cognition). It is the place of Eternal Peace.
Even when we’re standing in the middle of chaos and confusion, we can enter into this Peace at any time if we close our eyes, connect to our Breath, and Feel the Love that we are.
Even in the midst of the darkness, we can always “Feel Our Way” guided by The Light that surrounds us and flows through us – The Light that we are.
The Light Is Love
and
Love Is The Light
and
We Are That –
Infinite and Eternal.”

Leave The Situation Or Accept It

“See if you can catch yourself complaining in either speech or thought about a situation you find yourself in, what other people do or say, your surroundings, your life situation, even the weather.

To complain is always nonacceptance of what is. It invariably carries an unconscious negative charge. When you complain, you make yourself a victim.

Leave the situation or accept it.”

~ E. Tolle

Finding Loving Purpose

“Leave a flower or a note for a co-worker who seems down. Pay for the next person’s coffee at the drive through, or buy a lottery ticket for a stranger. Hold a door. Say something nice to a stranger on Facebook.


Whenever spirit moves you leave a trail of loving kindness… always making sure you are being kind to yourself as well.

It is easy to look for the big things to bring purpose to life, but the real bliss comes from finding loving purpose in the smaller things, because life is a series of tiny acts, and simple thoughts that can be turned into pure, purposeful, spiritual gold!”
