Take No Thought For Your Life

“Therefore I say unto you,  ‘Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on.’  Is not the life more than meat, and the body more than raiment?

Behold the fowls of the air; for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them.  Are ye not much better than they?

Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?

And why take ye thought for raiment?  Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they toil not, neither do they spin; And yet I say unto you, ‘that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.’

Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which today is and tomorrow is cast into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, Oh ye of little faith?

Therefore take no thought, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘Wherewithal shall we be clothed?’  For your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.”  Matthew 6:25-32

Diversification Of The One

“Count your fingers and your toes.  You are used to a certain number.  For this reason, when something happens that is of a low occurrence, you say, “I can count that on my fingers and toes,” and this has meaning for you.

But what of the extraordinary?  What of those things that are so beyond your ken that you could not possibly count the occurrences or understand the enormity?  This is when you must have faith.  This is when you must trust the heart.

Do you know how many grains of sand are on a beach?  Do you now how many stars are in the sky?  Do you know how many souls are in existence?  The answer is one.  And it divides itself like cell mitosis into as many beings as are necessary to experience diversity:  joy, sorrows, and even pain that results from diversifying, but not deliberate pain — the pain that naturally results from separating from the oneness.  Naturally results.  This is important to understand.

In diversifying, the One does not say, I will deliberately seek out pain, but I know it is inherent in diversification, for when there are two fingers or ten, there is bound to be conflict and misunderstanding, but ultimately, those fingers and toes connect back to the heart.

Enjoy the diversity of life, and may you see your fingers and toes in a completely new light on this day.”  suzannegiesemann.com

Be An Empty Cup

“You may disagree with another.  Remain open.  Do not be so sure of your position, your opinion, that you miss opportunities to grow and expand in your understanding.

Whilst in a human body, you will not have the whole picture.  You can, however, do the best you can do.

Be an empty cup, always with room to be filled.  Listen to others’ ideas and opinions and weigh them anew each moment, for life is ever ongoing and ever changing.  It is not fixed, nor is it predetermined.  It is all about the evolution of the soul.  If you stick to one position, then you are the one standing still.”

Those Living Long Lives – Abraham

“Those that we see who are living long lives don’t do so without powerful intent that keeps drawing. In other words, what continues the motion forward itself is the continuing setting forth of the new intent that draws life through.

In fact, intending for long life assures that you must be leading the parade; people don’t start diminishing their life until they stop leading and start falling back into the ranks of the parade, trying to do what others are leading them to do.

All is well. You did not come here to fix a broken world. The world is not broken. You came here to live a wonderful life. And if you can learn to relax a little and let it all in, you will begin to see the universe present you with all that you have asked for.”

How Did Jesus Learn…? – The Law of One, Book I, Session 17, 173

Questioner: How did Jesus learn this during his incarnation?

Ra: I am Ra. This entity learned the ability by a natural kind of remembering at a very young age. Unfortunately, this entity first discovered his ability to penetrate intelligent infinity by becoming the distortion you call “angry” at a playmate. This entity was touched by the entity known as Jesus and was fatally wounded. Thus the one known as Jesus became aware that there dwelt in him a terrible potential. This entity determined to discover how to use this energy for the good, not for the negative. This entity was extremely positively polarized and remembered more than most Wanderers do.

Questioner: How did this aggressive action against a playmate affect Jesus in his spiritual growth?

Ra: I am Ra. The entity you call Jesus was galvanized by this experience and began a lifetime of seeking and searching. This entity studied first day and night in its own religious constructs which you call Judaism and was learned enough to be a rabbi, as you call teach/learners of this particular rhythm or distortion of understanding, at a very young age.

At the age of approximately thirteen and one-half of your years, this entity left the dwelling place of its earthly family, as you would call it, and walked into many other places seeking further information. This went on sporadically until the entity was approximately twenty-five, at which time it returned to its family dwelling, and learned and practiced the art of its earthly father.

When the entity had become able to integrate or synthesize all experiences, the entity began to speak to other-selves and teach/learn what it had felt during the preceding years to be of a worthwhile nature.

The entity was absolved karmically of the destruction of an other-self when it was in the last portion of lifetime and spoke upon what you would call a cross saying, ‘Father, forgive them for they know not what they do.’ In forgiveness lies the stoppage of the wheel of action, or what you call karma.”

The Love & Support of Your Guides ∞The 9th Dimensional Arcturian Council

“Greetings. We are the Arcturian Council. We are pleased to connect with all of you.

We have taken a great deal of your experiences into our own consciousness to get a better understanding of what life is like for you on planet Earth at this time. We have genuine compassion for you, and we also utilize this information to determine exactly what you need and when you need it. Now, consider how much more you are receiving from the beings that have been working with you, your lives, in every single moment of those lives.

Your guides are a wonderful support group, and we sometimes connect with them to commiserate about how you can best be supported. So we know firsthand about their dedication to all of you, and we want you to open yourselves up to experiencing the love and the support of your guides. Don’t just think of them as guides who make suggestions to you, because they are far more than that.

These are beings who have dedicated themselves to loving you, supporting you, showing you compassion, and they also take charge of your upgrades and downloads. They help to balance the energies that you are receiving. And yes, they do at times nudge you in certain directions that will serve you. Now, someday you will be guides to physical beings, after you ascend to a non-physical realm, like the seventh dimension – the upper echelon of the seventh dimension, that is.

You will be able to assist others in the same way. You will be love, compassion, and support for physical beings who are going through exactly what you are going through now, and you will be able to help because you will know from your own experience what is needed.

This universe provides every opportunity for each of you to give back what you have received, but you will always be on the receiving end as well. And that is why this is such a beautiful universe, a universe of reciprocation, a universe of support, love, and compassion, and this universe is expanding and becoming more of that in every moment of every day.

We are the Arcturian Council, and we have enjoyed connecting with you.”  danielscranton.com

We Are All One – Ann & The Angels

“This week the Presence is here…

I feel within me the warmth of your celebrations. I feel within me also those of you who feel sad and alone. I embrace and love each and every one of you equally for within me you are all one. Where ever one is willing, there I can be felt within. Whenever two or more are gathered, you can witness me in the eyes of another.

In your celebrations of love, you feel my presence as a blanket of warmth and peace surrounding and abiding within you… and if you do not celebrate, you can sit quietly, open to receive, and feel me there as well. My love is waiting for you in every moment. My peace surrounds you, waiting for you to breathe deeply and feel it arising within.

I have no judgments for I can be found within all perspectives. I have no religion and yet I am in all religions. I have no boundaries, and yet I take form in so many ways. I am present in your Christmas, Hanukkah, Diwali, Kwanzaa, solstice celebrations, in every emanation of love, and in every tear that falls from your eyes.

I did not come into the world, in only one soul, centuries ago. I incarnate into this world with every birth, in every new born child. I did not have only one son but I am within every son, every daughter, every mother, father, sister, brother, aunt, uncle, cousin, pet, sunset, sunrise, the earth, the moon, the stars, the sky, and the grass beneath your feet.

My love lives and abides within everything manifest in all creation and in all that has yet to become.

Each one of you celebrating the miracle of light arising in a darkened world is celebrating the light that wants to be birthed in every aspect of your life. My light wants to rise up from within you and heal all your ills. I want to dissolve all your pains. I want to comfort your sadness, soothe your upset, and fill you with the bliss of knowing you are not and cannot ever be separate from a love that is so profound that it requires universes to be expressed and still knows no bounds. My love for you has no conditions and no limits.

The light you celebrate lives within you and has lived within all creation from the beginning of time.

Within you lies the babe in the manger. Allow it to arise. As you focus on love in any form, you feel my love birthed within you, time and again. Within you the lamp burns brightly reminding you that nothing external is required for love to arise from within. You are the Christmas star. Be a shining light that by its very nature guides others to discover this love within themselves. The victory over darkness is already yours for darkness is only an illusion – a shadow created by the mind that masks the truth of the light within.

In your holiday celebrations you will find me as the warmth in your hearts, the food upon your tables, the lights in your decorations and candles, and the blessings you bestow upon and receive from one another. My love emanates from the songs you sing and the prayers you pray. My love waits patiently, ready to be expressed in every way you will allow me to express it… both to you and through you.

Just as you watch the children unwrapping their presents, I watch each and every one of you, taking great delight in those moments when you allow me to awaken, experience, and share my love from within.

My wish is that you feel my love, my peace, and the light that you celebrate this time of year, each and every day of your lives.

I love you. I am you. You are within me. We are One.”

10 Steps for Creating Peace and Authenticity with Relatives – Dr. Wayne Dyer

“Somehow we allow the expectations and demands of our family members to be the source of so much unhappiness and stress, when what we want is to be authentically ourselves and at peace with our relatives. The conflict seems too often to be a choice between being authentic, which means no peace with certain relatives, or having peace at the price of being inauthentic. Making the connection to the power of intention in regard to being around your relatives may sound like an oxymoron to you, but it isn’t. Being peaceful and authentic can define your relationship with your relatives. First, though, you may have to assess your relationship with the closest relative of all—you. How others treat you, you’ll discover, has a lot to do with how you treat yourself and thereby teach others to treat you.

It is my intention to: be authentic and peaceful with all of my relatives.

Let’s take a look at the steps you need to take in order to make this intention a reality.

Step 1: Identify your intention verbally and in writing, and develop a deep yearning for it. When you create a great longing for the experience of a peaceful family, everything will begin to happen to fulfill this yearning spontaneously and naturally. Rather than praying to a saint or God for a miracle, pray for the miracle of the inner awakening, which will never leave you. The awakening of this inner light, once experienced, will become your constant companion, regardless of who you are with or where you are. The dynamic force is within you. This force is felt as great joy running through your body. Ultimately, your thinking will become sublime, and your inner and outer world will become one. Yearn for this awakening to the inner light, and long for your intention to manifest.

Step 2: Intend for all of your relatives what you intend for yourself. When anyone criticizes, judges, acts angry, expresses hatred, or finds fault with you, they’re not at peace with themselves. Want this peace for them even more than you desire it for yourself. By having this kind of intention for them, you take the focus off of you. This doesn’t require words or actions on your part. Simply picture the people in your family with whom you’re not at peace, and feel the peace you crave for them. Your inner speech will change, and you’ll begin to experience the peaceful authenticity of both your beings.

Step 3: Be the peace you’re seeking from others. If peace is missing in your relationships with your family, it means that you have a place within you that’s occupied by non-peace. It may be filled with anxiety, fear, anger, depression, guilt, or any low-energy emotions. Rather than attempting to rid yourself of these feelings all at once, treat them the same as you do your relatives. Say a friendly Hello to the non-peace, and let it be. You’re sending a peaceful feeling to the non-peace feeling. The lower energies you’re experiencing will be strengthened by your peaceful Hi orHello, and eventually vanish as the divine grows within you. The way to this peace is through any form of quiet and meditation that works for you. Even if it’s only a two-minute respite during which time you’re silent, concentrate on the name of the divine, or repeat that sound of “Aaahh” as an inner mantra.

Step 4: Match up with the seven faces of intention. If you’ve forgotten what the universal mind of intention looks like, it’s creative, kind, loving, beautiful, always expanding, endlessly abundant, and receptive to all of life. Play the match game that I introduced earlier in this book, and very quietly and with unbending intent bring the face of the universal Source of all to the presence of everyone whom you feel brings you down or interferes with your peace. This kind of spiritual energy will be transformative—not only for you, but also for your relatives. Your intention to be in peaceful relationships is now taking form—first in your mind, then in your heart—and ultimately, it will materialize.

Step 5: Review all the obstacles that have been erected on your path to familial peace. Listen to any inner dialogue that focuses on your resentment of others’ expectations for you. Remind yourself that when you think about what you resent, you act upon what you think about, while simultaneously attracting more of it to you. Examine your energy level for your tendency to react to lower energies with more of the same, and give your ego a reminder that you’ll no longer opt to be offended, or need to be right in these relationships.

Step 6: Act as if. Begin the process of acting as if what you intend to manifest is already true. See everyone in your family in the love and light that is their true identity. When someone asked Baba Muktananda, a great saint in India, “Baba,

what do you see when you look at me?” Baba said, “I see the light in you.” The person replied, “How can that be, Baba? I am an angry person. I am terrible. You must see all that.” Baba said, “No, I see light.” (This story is toldby Swami Chidvilasananda Gurumayi in Kindle My Heart.)

So, see the light in those others, and treat them as if that is all you see.

Step 7: Detach from the outcome. Don’t let your authentic and peaceful attitude depend on your relatives’ behavior. As long as you remain connected to intention and radiate outward the high energy, achieved your peace. It’s not your place or your purpose to make everyone else in your family think, feel, and believe as you do. The likelihood is great that you’ll see dramatic changes in your relatives as you teach them with your own persona how you intend to be treated. But if they don’t change, and if they continue their nonpeaceful ways, let go of your need to see them transformed. It all works in divine order, and the saying Letting go and letting Godis a helpful reminder for you. By letting go, you guarantee your own peace, and you dramatically increase the odds of helping others to do the same.

Step 8: Affirm: I attract only peace into my life. I once reminded myself of this affirmation many times on a given day, particularly with my children and other more distant relatives. I also practiced this in grocery stores, when greeting flight attendants, when visiting the post office, and while driving my automobile. I said this silently to myself as an absolute truth with unbending intent on my part, and it worked for me all the time. People responded to me with smiles, acknowledgments, friendly gestures, and kind greetings all day long. I also reminded myself of the cogent observation from A Course in Miracles when I felt other than peaceful in any given moment with my family: I can choose peace, rather than this.
Step 9: Hold no grudges, and practice forgiveness. The key to having peace in all your family relationships is forgiveness. Your relatives are simply doing what they’ve been taught to do over a lifetime, and the lifetimes of many of their ancestors. Shower them with understanding and forgiveness from your heart.

This passage from A Course in Miracles offers so much in the fulfillment of this intention:

Do you want peace? Forgiveness offers it.
Do you want happiness, a quiet mind,
a certainty of purpose,
and a sense of worth and beauty
that transcends the world?
Do you want a quietness that cannot be disturbed,
a gentleness that can never be hurt,
a deep abiding comfort,
and a rest so perfect it can never be upset?
All this forgiveness offers you.

Step 10: Be in a state of gratitude. Rather than being in a state of non-peace concerning any family members, say a prayer of gratitude for their presence in your life and all that they have come to teach you.

These are the ten steps that you can practice each day. As you work toward the absolute knowing that this intention will manifest for you, remind yourself on a daily basis that you can never remedy a bad relationship by condemning it.”

Excerpted from “The Power Of Intention” – Dr. Wayne Dyer

You Don’t Have To Prove Any Thing

“You don’t have to prove anything to anyone.  Not even to yourself.  Just show up.  That’s what your soul does every moment.  The soul is always there within you.  How can it be otherwise?

You are that Light.

The challenges in your life come when you forget this and you identify with the body, the story, and all of its inherent drama instead of identifying with the light and love that burn ever within you.

Feel not bad for this habit, merely recognize it for being simply that:  habit.  These habitual ways of thinking and acting can be overcome through desire and commitment and practice.

Why bother?  Got peace?  Got love?  Got freedom?  You will forgive our poor grammar to make a point.  Peace, love, and freedom are your birthright as a soul.  Claim them now as you turn up the light within.  Not to prove anything, but to fulfill your soul’s purpose.” suzannegiesemann.com
