My Life Is About My Relationships
August 8th, 2009
My Life Is about My Relationships… You will never find yourself in a point in time when the subject of relationships is not an active part of your now experience, for everything you perceive or notice or know is because of your relationship with something else. Without a comparative experience, you would be unable to perceive or focus any kind of understanding within yourself. Therefore, it is accurate to say that without relationships you could not exist at all. —Abraham

Just A Little Joke
June 26th, 2009
A man was walking along a mountain ledge when the earth under him gave way. As he fell he grabbed onto a root that was sticking out of the mountain side. He began to yell for help, “Help, help help!” he waited….”Help, help, help!”
Finally there was a voice, “hello”.
The man was so relieved that someone answered. “Yes, please help me, I’ve fallen off the edge!”
Suddenly there was a reply from above, “Let Go!”
The poor man, hanging from the root thought about it for a minute and said, “Who are you?”
“God” said the voice.
“Oh God, please help me get out of this mess, please!”
There was a long pause and then the voice said “Let Go.”
The man thought about it for a minute, his arm was really beginning to hurt now, so he said, “Is anybody else up there?”

I Am A Human Being
June 17th, 2009
I live in a body, or with it, I don’t really know.
I am part of a large group of human beings
and part of a larger group of all beings
and part of an even larger One.
I eat and sleep and think and feel and Am.
These are gifts I give myself.
I am created from and am also part of a greater being.
My essence is that of my creator.
I love and enjoy and Am.
I am free to choose all that I desire,
my connection to my essence makes this possible.
Mostly I choose my connection, really.
I love being this human.
I live in a place of wonderment and beauty called earth,
my home sits in a greater place with bodies called stars and planets,
again I don’t know much about this.
I can feel myself and I can feel my immediate environment.
I feel whole and complete and yet I know I am becoming.
I feel individual and also connected.
I Am.
I experience myself in many ways.
Peaceful, joyful, appreciative, loving, friendly,
helpful, knowing, waiting, allowing, trusting, wondering.
Sometimes afraid or angry,
but not often and not for long, not any more.
But most of all, I love being—here—now—a human being.
Just me, all, pure, untangled.
This is what I came here for.
To be me, to experience me, to love me, all of me.
To see through these eyes and hear through these ears.
And live and love and enjoy.
Distinct and connected.
Alive and limited, alive and unlimited. All and nothing.
A human being, my very own creation.

Allowing That Which You Really Are
May 21st, 2009
“You are killing more of each other every day over your quarrels over religion than all other things put together, because you cannot even come to an agreement about what you think God says, or wants for you. On one side of the world God wants something different than the other. On one side of the room, in one side of your mind, God wants something different than on the other. The power is within you. You are extensions of this powerful Source Energy. You are literally God expressing in this physical body. And so, as you are standing in a thought, or in a word, or in an action that feels good to you as you are standing there–then you are fully open and allowing all of that Divine Energy to flow through you. And in that moment you are all that you said you would be when you decided to come forth into this body. You are the extension of pure positive energy. You are in your full creative power. You are thriving. You are clear-minded. You are joyful. You are filled with love. You are who you are–you are allowing that which you really are.”
— Abraham
I love Abraham. These words of wisdom seem to cut through any confusion or concepts or misunderstandings. They remind me that I want to offer my words here on my blog, knowing that I am speaking to myself first and foremost. After that, if you or another reader finds clairity or love in them then that is my desire. This is a personal journey we are on and nobody knows what is between you and your voice better than you. I appreciate so much this entire collaboration, Abraham speaking, you and me listening and valuing. Thanks for stopping by and for reading.

Dispensing Wisdom
May 11th, 2009
I think I’ve been an unconscious wisdom dispenser for a long time. How do I know? Because I get so upset when I see others doing it. You know what I mean, somebody telling you what you don’t want to hear, haven’t asked to know and usually already know for yourself better than the teller.
I have decided to allow others to figure out their own stuff. After all, each one of us is Source Energy, and each one knows best for themselves.
I’ll answer if someone asks, gently with an eye to my own humility.
Tending to my business on my side of the street. My business, I am becoming aware, is a very lovely and awesome subject.
How do I really know what another needs to hear, and how do I know when the timing is right? I can’t.
My own life is the only communication that can really be heard.
When I do express, as here on my blog, or in my books, I want to own what I say as my own experience or my own understanding. Expressing first for myself, then trusting that my life can be of benefit to the greater me. And if not, that is fine too. Never with the attitude that I know more, or that somebody is messed up or wrong or needy in any way.
And with this ownership, I can finally let go of my grudge against those who I see dispensing wisdom and step out of the picture completely. And I can enjoy peace and freedom in this area.
Thanks for reading.

Desire
April 6th, 2009
If you suppress desire what will you do with the creative flow once you release it?
Desire is a natural human occurrence born of experiencing life.
Not to be confused with grasping, needing, or concern.
Yes to letting go of all needing, grasping, or concern.
Yes to embracing desire and creating my own life by allowing the flow.

Finding the Lost Child
April 2nd, 2009
When I was 8 years old my parents stepped up their war with each other. During the prolonged months before they finally separated, I was 8 and 9 years old. I remember spending a lot of time on the couch watching TV. I also remember being very sick during this time. I had no idea why and neither did anybody else in my house. Now I know I was responding to my own feeling of helplessness because I couldn’t save my parents. I also know now that it was a projection, I was very concerned about myself.
In the last few days I have gone back to that house and sat with that alone child, eventually she came to me and was ready to leave with me. She wanted to rearrange the furniture, get rid of a lot of junk my parents had and finally clean up the yard before she left. We did this. And we left, now that house is empty and dark. I know, I have been back, just to make sure.
I now know that the huge haunting desire I’ve had all my life to help others comes from the view of that child of 8 who wanted so much to make things better for herself and her family she loved. And now, as a result of bringing her forward to the present, I can redecide about this subject of helping others.
Here’s my new decision. Everything is a projection. If I see others as needing my help, I am seeing myself as needing help. So, I am choosing to focus my attention on myself and my business. I am owning the projection. And I am knowing that all is well. By listening to the voice of that child and helping her to see from a broader position, I teach and comfort myself with the knowing that all really is well and that I can focus my attention on me and what I’m doing, just like I did before the war. I embrace the attitude that none of us is really in any danger and that we are each only able to change our own circumstances. This heals my childish desire to save others. If I’d had a grandmother with this wisdom she’d have told me this then. Now I have the wisdom within myself to teach myself.
The benefits of this view: I am free not to be concerned about anybody else and to focus on me, here, now. I demonstrate that all is really well. I move toward the desires of my heart. And about helping others, I want to help others, but it’s not the same, it is a desire that comes from a place of connection to Source, followed by an allowing and a knowing and then an experience, a flow. I’ve given up the concern.
My Grandmother would have told me, and I tell myself, that we are truly all one being. With the greater part of ourself in nonphysical, we cannot really die, or be hurt and the best way to help myself and/or others is to come to believe this and move on with my life. I’d be able to see this demonstrated in her life, and I would be able to feel the vibration of this knowing and it would make sense to my free child mind.
So, once again, I lovingly listen to my lost part, understand, and give ideas that refresh and free my little child. I become my own wise parents and I love and trust myself.

Following Myself
March 11th, 2009
When we get here as children, we have an inner knowing. Soon we are taught what is right and wrong. And we begin, like almost everybody else here, to follow a standard. There are a variety of standards, as many as there are individuals.
In order to grow into our selves, we will need to let go of our standard and listen to the voice of our own soul. We haven’t listened to this much for a long time. It takes a while and some attentive listening to revive our own voice.
I think of my own voice as the voice of Source, or all that is. So, when I follow my own voice, I am following ‘God’.
This view eliminates the projection of Source being somebody other than me.
This following of my own voice involves trusting in who I really am, and it involves separating mentally and emotionally from all others.
But think about the benefits of understanding who I am and listening to Source Energy and following through in this physical environment. It changes everything. It creates an allowing for all of us. An inflow of vitality, wisdom, love and freedom that must effect the Oneness that we all are.
As one understands more and more who one really is, then following the voice, whatever you call it, becomes more and more a natural reality of daily life. It becomes the work that brings he who has the courage to believe, a life filled with joy, peace and love.
I know that’s what I want.

Sharing
March 8th, 2009
“Kabbalah teaches that sharing in a way that encourages others to become beings of sharing is the highest form of giving. And it has the biggest return.“ Yehuda Berg, Daily Kabbalah Tune Up
If you stop and think about sharing you’ll notice that we all already are sharing.
We share the air we breath.
We share the earth that our bodies are made of.
We share the same Sun and Moon.
And we share physical resources, only limited by our own personal belief as to how much we can enjoy.
We share all our thoughts.
Even great thinkers who have new thoughts that haven’t been thought before share these with all of us.
We share the same source, who we are, nonphysical us.
There are two areas where we don’t share.
What we want and how we feel.
These are personal. Determined by a combination of the position of the planets when we were born, and our family of origin, and all that we as individuals have experienced.
This creates a kind of boundary.
A very natural one.
Where I follow my own feelings and my own desires.
And at the same time share freely with all of me.

Tending to My Own Business
March 1st, 2009
These days we have a beautiful 22 year old young lady living in our home. At first her lifestyle, sleeping habits, eating habits and other habits were a clash to me. But I know that she could only come into my life for my good. I knew this when I opened my house to others.
As I worked with my own voices from the past about what should and should not be, bringing them around to knowing that all is well and things are exactly as I would want them to be from the vantage point of source, and I was able to observe her without judgment I noticed something. Something I’d forgotten and she hasn’t lost. She is able to tune all of us out and be herself.
She has a freedom about her, a non concern. I want that, that freedom to be me and let everybody take care of themselves and their thoughts. A freedom to be me right now and not worry about what others are doing or thinking. I am so glad she is here and so glad I have grown to have eyes to see.
