I STILL LOVE YOU!

In my journey with The Law of Attraction, I have found it necessary to separate from people I have been extremely close to for a long time, some family and some friends. Lately I have been asked if I would re-visit the possibility of resolving the issues that forms those distances. My response has been the same in every asking, yet, I am not sure if it is the TRUE thing to do.

My life has transformed so much that I am not sure that these people belong in it, in the same capacity, I will always love them, and I am saddened by the loss, but my quest to find the truth in myself is just too important to go back. I find that people that can only bring negativity to me are not who I want to be around right now.

The Law of Attraction teaches us that we attract more of what we are thinking about. Each time that someone asks me to re-visit the possibility of this reconciliation, I find that all I attract from it is sadness, so I have resolved to accept that I have learned enough about forgiveness to let this go and move on so I am not attracting more sadness.

I am still reading Eckhart Tolle’s book “A New Earth, Awakening to your Life’s Purpose”, and with every page I take time to read it, then reread it, highlight each line, and tab the line for quick access. I am using post it flags and if like me, you are reading more than one book at a time, these are life savers. It takes organization to a new height. I know…it is silly that something as simple as a posit it notes gives me great joy. I have shrunk my world down a bit for focus, and although post its excite me, I am finding more relative things to fill my world with, and reading is a big one. I have stopped reading fiction because fiction will again, attract what I think about, so I am careful to read positive books with TRUE life experiences, and messages that others have found in their journey for TRUTH of their being. The new Oprah Book Club online is so great, I love the interaction with the actual author and Oprah’s opinion on matters of spirituality are usually so in sync with my own…no I am not thinking I’m Oprah. Anyway, if you can you should join in on the Monday night calls, they are so rewarding. Make sure you get a copy of the book and print out the weeks lesson.

QUIETING THE MIND!

Eckhart Tolle and Oprah discussed "quieting the mind" during their first of ten classes online, Monday nights for 10 weeks. During the conversation he said "just make sure you check to see if you are breathing". I found that odd, and it has been running through my mind a great deal since then. Tonight I discovered what they were talking about. It's the method of breathing you use to quiet the mind.

When I meditate there are seconds in time when an old cartoon runs through my mind. I picture a table with just talking heads on it. It was probably in a "Three Stooges show". That is the kind of humor they had. The feeling of detachment from the body is so surreal (of course), in the sense that although my hands are touching my thighs as I sit cross legged, I begin to lose contact with the feeling of my hands on my thighs. At one point I felt something touch the tops of both hands, as if someone was trying to reassure me.

Eckhart Tolle offered the fact that someone compared the experience of "quieting the mind" to "dropping acid", only the acid experience was more violent in nature. I was intrigued enough to spend more time finding the experience, and I did. There is no experience that I can compare it to. There is no greater peace, ever. It helps me to understand separating from the "ego."
It is a concept I was having difficulty understanding, but feeling it makes it real for me now.

If you are taking this class, getting in touch with this experience is something that I recommend, it is beginning to show in my daily reaction to the normal events that take place in our lives, everyday.

Make a choice to watch it, read it or live it…but at least try it, and remember this: THE SECRET

IT IS JUST A CHOICE!

I’m writing my blog now on Microsoft Office 2007. I never really saw the need to upgrade, I mean I know that a lot of technology is changing and I will have to go to High Definition soon, but when it comes to word programs, how much more could there be? Well, I was wrong, this is pretty nice. I realize it means learning new technology but I like a good challenge, so I am trying it out. The look alone is less ominous than I thought it would be. I’m one of those people that were not afraid to open the VCR when a tape got jammed in it, or open a computer and learned how to install RAM. I will admit, I do have to hold myself back from fixing things or putting my fingers where no woman’s fingers should go…technology wise. I can not tell anyone how to fix a broken toaster, because I never tried to fix one. The reason is simple, they are cheap, and so I just buy a new one. And the same with VCRs and DVD players, they are so inexpensive that we just replace them. Wouldn’t it be nice if we could say that about poverty and homelessness? It is so cheap, we can just buy everyone a house, or we can just fill their freezer. Why can’t we say that? And if we do, will it make it happen? I believe it will. I believe that if we all try to make sure that houses and food are cheap enough to make sure everyone has them, then that is how it will be.

We have to all try to get on the same page about issues like this. We have to believe more in our ability to accomplish change. I admit to being a procrastinator, but if you stand in front of me and tell or ask me to do something, I will. How many people do we know that will say that? I can think of a lot. I think we should all try that. Let’s try to believe that these changes are in our power, and because they are, we will be moving people out of hunger, poverty and everyone will have a place to live. Now how hard is that? To just believe that it can happen. I believe it and I need everyone to believe it, so let’s all make it our business to make others believe it.

I was having a conversation today with my oldest son and I said some thing similar to him. He still believes that things are more improved if we spend time worrying about them, or trying to fix them when they do not need fixing. Or to make it clearer, why spend all day worrying about someone that does not want help. Why not just offer love and believe in the ability to fix them self, and see them fixing themselves. I believe in that. I see my friend having faith in her ability to have provided her child with the ability to heal HERSELF. I see my children and family members healing themselves, fixing themselves and I believe that they have the ability to do that. The power to change is in every one of us, we have to just allow it.

While I was surfing the internet today I ran across an article about Abraham Lincoln. This is what I got from it:

It said that Abraham Lincoln suggested that the government pay each state $400 for each slave, and in return the states would abolish slavery within 20 years. He referred to it as gradual emancipation, and suggested that it would cost the same to do that as it would to fight a war over it.

The suggestion is sound but the time would have been a huge issue to me. The mere fact that there was another solution to the issue of slavery is a huge thought. There are solutions like that available to all situations and when WE ALL begin to think differently, but realize the same results; we will have made the world a better place. We have to learn to separate from our “ego” and think of peaceful solutions instead of resolving issues of war. We can make war non-existent; it is a matter of CHOICE to accomplish that. We just have to CHOOSE. I know it sounds too good to be true or too simple, but it really is, once WE ALL THINK THE RIGHT WAY. It has worked NEGATIVELY this way for centuries. All we have to do is take those thoughts and use them for GOOD instead of EVIL. Hitler managed to convince massive numbers of people to believe in his theory. The Rise of Hitler as explained began as thoughts. How is it possible for someone as evil as Hitler to manage to convince enough countrymen to torture and murder millions of Jewish men, women and children, and impossible for us to take the same thoughts and turn them all into positive actions. Most of the original points of Hitler’s 25 point plan can easily be implemented positively to change the way the world works, or at least The United sates.

I hope that enough people read this and CHOOSE to change the way they think so the number of positive minded individuals increases by passing this message along to others.

Make a choice to watch it, read it or live it…but at least try it, and remember this:
