Free to Love
February 28th, 2009
In my experience;
There is a correlation about not caring what others think and unconditional love.
Not allowing myself to be caught in the net of someone else’s ideas
Keeps me free to see and love them.

I Think Therefore I Am?
February 26th, 2009
When we open to the fact that we are creators and that we create with our thoughts:
- We know that what is, is a result of past thoughts we’ve been thinking.
- We know fighting with what is, is futile and silly and that change comes from focusing on different thoughts.
- We no longer allow our thoughts to wonder in places we don’t want to create.
- We use our imagination to create the life we want.
- We love and enjoy our thoughts, and pay attention to find thoughts that feel really good.
- We no longer try to figure out what is real and what isn’t.
- We get to live the life that gives us joy.
- We realize who we are and just how powerful we are.
- Our world changes.

Free to be Me
February 24th, 2009
“Make me sweet again, fragrant and fresh and wild and thankful for any small event.” Rumi
Free to be me. Free, and wild and fresh. Flowing my energy, knowing that I am completely supported and loved by all that is. Letting go of all ideas of how things should go. And relaxing in the complete knowing that all I seek is moving toward me, and is sometimes already here.
An individual, making my decisions free of any parental orders. Making my decisions based on my own assessments of my desires.
Trusting that the choices I make in the now will lead me to the desires I have for the future. Integrating my desires into one trusting, with no justification of myself or my desires or my actions.
Free and unrestrained and Me. Flowing and dancing and enjoying. Free to enjoy everything.
This post is an exerpt from my book, The Path of Enlightenment.

What Are You Letting Go Of?
February 22nd, 2009
The one theme that has run through my life for the last months has been releasing, letting go, and erasing. What am I letting go of, releasing and erasing, you ask?
Good question.
There has been a systematic letting go, not controlled by my ego, but from another source. An inner source, that keeps saying why don’t you just give that to me to take care of? A source that teaches me and consoles me, and nurtures me, and encourages me to continue to give up.
There is no need to fear because even though I always think… if I give this up then how will things be? I will starve, or be alone, or not exist because on the other side of giving up is something I don’t want…….
It always turns out the opposite. Every time, time after time, when I come to the decision to give up something, I never loose anything but I always gain, always. I repeat myself because I am in such awe of the whole process.
Giving up one worry or care after another to the source of life ………….giving up the struggle, you could say giving up my ego; my trying to figure it out, trying to make it better, wanting things to be a certain way, wanting somebody to love me, or get me, wanting me to do or think or be a certain way. Giving up…………everything that causes me any stress.
Giving up what others think, or what I think, giving up the life I was expecting, giving up how the ideal spiritual person would be, giving up the search for enlightenment, giving up having to have a certain house, or clothes, or friends, or having to have certain foods, or a certain amount of money, or anything to happen in a certain way. Giving up anything and everything until all that is left is just me. Just me. Just me.
Just me, don’t let those words fool you, they are what I always wanted. Me, only I didn’t know that me would include you and everybody else in this whole entire world. I didn’t know that I would be part of the flow of love that is nonphysical energy, or Source, or All that Is. I didn’t know that I would find a place where there is peace that passes understanding; I didn’t know that I could understand, in a way that feels really good,what is going on here. I didn’t know that I could see the pain in the world in a new way, one that evokes love and compassion, and that also makes sense to my mind and gives me rest in the knowledge that we are all doing fine and are right on track.
So what did I give up? I was a beggar who gave up his backpack filled with dirty old clothes.
I gave up nothing and I gained everything.
And I’m not done yet, how do I know, I’m still here. 
I would very much like to hear your ideas and experiences of giving up, ’cause I know you have been!

When we wake up and realize
we are making all this up as we go along;
We can give up the fighting
and just make up something we like.

No More Blind Spots
February 17th, 2009
Everybody else I see is a mirror of me. This is true because however I see myself is how I see my world. I have helped myself become aware using this to find my blind spots.
For example: If I am concerned about my daughter, I can sit and write a list of the things that I’m thinking about her. Then I can insert my self for her in every instance and I get a quick picture of what ideas I’m hiding about me. I can work with them to make new decisions about myself from my new awareness.
This works the same for any relationship. I can be angry with a coworker: I ask myself what is it about him or his behavior that makes me so mad? I can find this answer pretty easily. And then I can begin to look for how I am doing the same thing.
It works every time without exception. It is just so much easier to see things in another. No more blind spots!
The miraculous part is that when I get my concerns about myself worked out, I am not concerned about my daughter or my coworker any more because however I see myself is how I see her or him!
This post was inspired by a post I read, titled What Are You Thinking, at Stream Source Blog

What Do I Think?
February 16th, 2009
I’ve noticed that when I care what someone else thinks it is because I am still working on what I think.
And once I get what I think worked out, viola! I don’t care what anybody else thinks.
And when I don’t care what anybody thinks I am free to listen to the voice of my own soul.
So, when I notice I care what someone else thinks, aha! I have an opportunity to consciously decide what I think.

The Monster in the Closet
February 14th, 2009
The monster in the closet, I’m not falling for it any more.
My little child who is still growing may jump under the bed, but I don’t need to get under there with her.
I can identify with the adult part of me that knows it was just a random noise and that nothing can hurt us.
And just like any other parent, when I show that I am not frightened, my child will be encouraged.

Take What You Like
February 14th, 2009
I have a very good friend who says this a lot, “Take what you like and leave the rest.” Could there be a more profound way of being.
Take, enjoy, make a part of my ideas and part of my life. Create my life the way I want to choosing the ingredients I want.
and
Leave the rest, ignore it, allow it, don’t make a big deal of it. Just leave it. Don’t make it wrong, or judge it in any way. Just leave it.
Take what I want and leave the rest.
Be the creator you are and choose according to what you want…… And leave others the respect to do the same.
Just a thought.

This is what I hear for myself and I share it with you my fellow bloggers. The greater blogger me. Are you ready………really ready?
OK, here it is:
Write your stuff and forget about the listeners-law of attraction will take care of everything.
That’s it. Too simple for you, na….you get it.
Anyway, it’s just a thought.
