Thoughts and snapshots of the life of a man with 12 kids doing 'A course in Miracles'

Lesson 276

This little fellow was on the books by my bedside table this morning so I looked up what he is thought to signify in the shaman world….when I take into consideration all that has gone on lately, the spiritual or psychic attack the other night and  the trouble we have had with Alison’s ex…the message is pretty clear. Interesting I was writing about paying attention to messages from Spirit yesterday, this one is huge! I liked that even my Qi Gong gets a mention here when energy and martial arts are mentioned….

Praying Mantis — Benefit from prayer, meditation and the martial arts, the ability to blend with the environment becoming invisible. The Praying Mantis teaches how to still the outer mind and go within.  The praying mantis teaches how to transcend linear time and move according to the rhythm of nature and inner instinct. The praying mantis can remain motionless and blend with the environment becoming invisible to enemies. They hold the secrets of materialization and dematerialization and teach perception through stillness. In dream symbols, a praying mantis is a telepathic symbol of Angels warning of hypnotic aggression from the “dark side.”  A praying mantis appearing may be a sign of Angelic protection. Becoming involved in situations where someone may lose their head, in one way or another.

And I like to compare the two books I have…

The Praying Mantis

The praying mantis has a great deal of myth and lore associated with it.

Its name comes from the manner in which they hold up the forepart of the body, with its enormous front legs, as though in an attitude of prayer.

Martial art forms in China have adopted specific movements of the mantis into their practices. These movements help the student reconnect with their personal chi or energy. The discovery of how energy moves through our body, what it is projecting and where energy blocks are located can be a great aid in healing ourselves. Those with this totem would benefit from prayer, meditation and martial arts.

These amazing creatures serve the earth and her people in various ways. They consume large amounts of insects helping to maintain ecological balance. Excellent hunters with an efficient attack strategy the praying mantis always knows the right moment for attack and for retreat. Time in the linear sense is irrelevant to the mantis. They move according to their inner instincts and remind us to do the same. Moving effortlessly between worlds the mantis is associated with time travel.

They help us break out of linear time and move according to our personal bio rhythms.

The praying mantis can remain motionless for an indefinite period. This ability helps them blend with their environment becoming invisible to predators. They hold the secrets of materialization and dematerialization and awaken this ability in people who hold this medicine. Perception through stillness is part of its teaching.

Patient, perceptive and focused this little totem holds a powerful message. When it appears in your life it is asking you to direct your energy, your thoughts or your actions in a different way. Asking the following questions can give you the insight necessary to motivate appropriate changes. Have I lost patience with a particular situation?

Have I been too patient, and if so, has this had a detrimental affect on me? Is my perception correct regarding a situation? Have I become narrow-minded? Am I focused on my objective?

  

It is all so beautifully and powerfully validating to me and I found great joy and peace in reading it. I feel I should not add too many of my own words today…Great Spirit has spoken and I would rather just listen. I’m off to the beach with the kids :  )

“The Word of God is given me to speak.”

What is the Word of God? “My Son is pure, and holy as Myself.” And thus did God become the Father of the Son He loves, for thus was he created. This the Word His Son did not create with Him, because in this His Son was born. Let us accept His Fatherhood, and all is given us. Deny we were created in His Love and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and for what purpose we have come. And yet, we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self.

 

“Father,Your Word is mine. And it is this that I would speak to all my brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and blessed and saved by You.”

Lesson 275

I’m not sure why and I don’t need to know, but there is a peace this morning that seems to have descended on this home and the family the lives in it.

I did realise that the Hawaiian workshop finished yesterday, I felt better after Qi Gong last night and that Alison and I have been working hard on healing this family any way we can….but there is more to it….it is like it is not just in the present….that there is a peace in knowing on some level that the future path has been made straight, flat so that there are no bumps that would make the journey uncomfortable.

I certainly do not expect we will not have challenges, it just feels like we can handle them in a more loving and graceful way. I feel more connected to my heart and Spirit than I ever have, a sense of peace and quiet inside….probably not very interesting reading compared to the tumultuous times we have had but, there it is.

Sometimes it is a strange thing to read the guidance of Spirit. This morning it took a person to ask about a friend and then my daughter to ask to watch ‘Doctor Dolittle’ before I realised and was being told to ring a doctor friend I know who IS a real life ‘Doctor Dolittle’…he can literally talk to the animals and they talk to him ! So I did ring and he was very glad to hear from me. :  )

Hope everyone is remembering those effected by the earthquake in New Zealand…I am becoming increasingly aware of those people who live in San Fransisco as we have had more of these natural desasters….that is an inevitable one so lets offer prayers for them all eh? 

“God’s healing Voice protects all things today.”

Let us today attend the Voice of God, Which speaks an ancient lesson, no more true today than any other day. Yet has this day been chosen as the time when we will seek and hear and learn and understand. Join me in hearing. For the Voice of God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. It is in this that all things are protected. And in this the healing of the Voice of God is found.

 

“Your healing Voice protects all things today, and so I leave all things to You. I need be anxious over nothing. For Your Voice will tell me what to do, and where to go; to whom to speak, and what to say to him; what thoughts to think; what words to give the world. The safety that I bring is given me. Father, Your Voice protects all things through me.”

Lesson 274

I have been a Daddy and a Mummy, which I thought made me a ‘Dummy’,  for 12 days now and in that time I have come to the conclusion that I am in fact, a Mummy and a Daddy making me a ‘Maddy’.

An emotional roller coaster which has included the death of my spiritual mother, the war and peace of the relationships with my step daughters, the tentative steps of my youngest son in his first weeks in a bigger world at school, the struggles of toilet training over night and the subsequent greater struggle from losing more than winning – hence more washing (and I am grateful for the fine weather lately), the anguish of not having my dearest companion , friend and lover with me and the feelings of failure and defeat at not being able to do it all.

Alison says I am not a failure, that the kids are feed, clothed and relatively happy and healthy considering their main source of security is not present. But I just don’t think I handled it well emotionally over all and feel a bit of a train wreck.

We have agreed that it is far too stressful to do it this way for everyone so, next semester , if she is going to continue, we must find a better way for the whole family. Perhaps we can get enough money together to rent a house up there somewhere on the beach, that way it will be a holiday for us and a working holiday for Mum?

I was reflecting with a friend today just how much of a process this has been for all of us, I have been only able to share a small amount on this blog so far and there is still much healing and integration to continue.

For me it is a glimpse of the healing program we will eventually establish for the emotional and spiritual healing of this nation and, though an honorable task, we must take care not to damage our own family as a sacrifice to gain the end result. If we did this, the process we established would fail as it would reflect trauma inflicted on another family and the cycle would continue. No, we must create a process that is healing IN its creation so that when it becomes a part of the wider communities healing and that of the nation, it will be a totally congruent process from its beginings to the point of the nations healing…for the oneness of the people! 

“Today belongs to Love. Let me not fear.”

“Father, today I would let all things be as You created them, and give Your Sons the honor due their sinlessness; the love of brother to his brother and his friend. Through this I am redeemed. Through this as well the truth will enter where illusions were, light will replace all darkness, and Your Son will know he is as You created him.”

 

A special blessing comes to us today from Him Who is our Father. Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto Love.

Lesson 273

With only 4 days to go before Alison is home again, our great trial and task is far from over. I had a continuation of my catharsis yesterday, bought on by Maerys funeral and Alison’s insight the day before. Last night neither Alison or I got much sleep as we found ourselves in new territory, literally battling with something spiritually very dark that had tried to sweep in and suck and fed from our transformational energy during this last 2 weeks and it tried to take away everything…we were victorious in the battle sometime after 4a.m. I only know when we are united in the physical next week there will be more work as she plans to work on me first…eek!

I cannot really explain it except to say that it was very dark and evil and that we used our spiritual knowledge in prayer and ceremony to vanquish it back from whence it came. We feel we know the source and being aware that this CAN happen in such a powerful way will prepare us should it be tried again by any such thing…all I can say is I would hate to be the person who it was sent back too!

I wrote a letter to my spiritual mother yesterday morning, it seems fitting to share this as it has been a significant part of my process as we near the end of this course….

” To Maery Gabriel, on assignment on planet earth from 9th of June 1939 to 15th of February 2011,

If  you had stayed longer on this earth, I may have seen who you really were to me. Would that have changed anything?

You even gave me the name ‘Brother Bear’ as a mother would, I should have known who you were then, why didn’t I?

All I had to do is call and you were there by my side, a hug first and then into whatever was needed to be done and though it was sometimes hard work much laughter was always shared. Only now I remember you saying to me more than once that you thought I gave the best hugs…why didn’t I know then?

You were the right age to be my mother and it was good of Great Spirit to give me another mother after being without one for so long…you were an improvement on the drug addicted first one as well ! :  )

You taught me how to light a fire too, like Meredith your daughter, so that the fire has lots of air to breathe. You taught me this when I most needed to know for my family…when I moved to the mountains where the winters are colder.

But one of the most powerful lessons, one that I can hope I will be able to apply, was that the best teacher is the one who appears to be the student. You always made me feel as if it were me teaching you things of the spirit when, quietly and gently, you nurtured my spiritual growth, so lovingly allowing my expansion, directing me towards the tools I would need to help others by allowing me to think they were for you. Like when we thought you needed “soul retrieval”, so you looked and I looked for someone to do it until finally I just learned to do it myself….now Alison has learned it too and we have helped many people with this spiritual tool. I don’t even know if it helped you? I know you said it did at the time and it was a beautiful experience for you and I believe it because you said so…but there was so much more to it than that wasn’t there you crafty old girl?!

You have been with me on one of the most important journeys of my life these last 9 years, the journey of becoming a shaman, pipe carrier, builder of medicine wheels, co creator of the medicine wheel cards and now, these cards are used to help me read the energy of people for the purpose of helping them heal.

You have stood silently beside me to facilitate the painful and sensitive process of me learning of the powerful gift of ‘death medicine’…how could I know when we began that path that you yourself would be assisted by this spiritual process?

We have honored each other as it should be between mother and son.

I shall mourn you like the spiritual son I am to you. Though you called me ‘Brother Bear’, I now proclaim that I am now ‘Son Bear’ to you, and I will be seeking your guidance and teaching throughout the rest of my life and would point out to you, to your great amusement and shock no doubt, that this means you have an extra 12 grandchildren to watch over and look out for too!…I can hear that mischievous giggle AND cackle too you old witch!

I love you beyond death as we continue to work, play and walk together in my life. I know you will always be with me, carried in my heart and on call still to help when I need you.

Thankyou for everything Mother Maery, I will continue to walk this path you so gracefully worked with Great Spirit to set my feet upon. Aho Mitakuye Oyasin.

P.S. Don’t forget to help me win the lotto next week ; ) xo

 

“The stillness of the peace of God is mine.”

Perhaps we are now ready for a day of undisturbed tranquility. If this is not yet feasible, we are content and even more than satisfied to learn how such a day can be achieved. If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. We need but tell our minds, with certainty, “The stillness of the peace of God is mine,” and nothing can intrude upon the peace that God Himself has given to His Son.

 

“Father,Your peace is mine. What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep? I cannot lose Your gifts to me. And so the peace You gave Your Son is with me still, in quietness and in my own eternal love for You.”

Lesson 272

Getting prepared to go to a funeral this morning I was feeling o.k…..that was until my darling wife spoke to me on the phone and pointed out the healing it would be for me…”what healing,? I’m feeling fine about it all’  She says, ‘ Because you never got to go to your mothers funneral’….Ka Boom ! A smallish explosion resulted in Mark becoming little pieces on the ground. God bless my wife for bring the real significance of an event into focus….argh !

Interesting, my mother would have been about Maery’s age too. I said to Alison that I never thought of Maery as my mother to which she instantly thrust like a sword that I had a dysfunctional relationship with my mother too in that she was my ‘friend rather than my mother.

This woman who just died, I realised in a cathartic moment at her funeral, was my spiritual mother. A teacher without me even realising she was and still is teaching, a nurturer, always encouraging me in a subtle way to be more….to be who I really am and step into my role as a spiritual facilitator of healing…and I did not even realise it till after she died. One of her daughters spoke about some of the things she had been taught by her mother…they were the some of the same things she taught me! I wept like her son would have if she had one ( she has 2 daughters ), a friend of hers that I had met several times came and hugged me and asked if she could sit next to me because she said my energy was helping her!? – I felt like a total train wreck!? I held her hand for a little…it was like having more mother energy around me. I wondered how I would ever rise to the charge of being a pall bearer in my catharsis. Somehow it all worked out and found myself standing by the hurse with people morning all around and just holding the space when for them and then, without expecting, a dear friend appeared at my side who I haven’t seen for years and I just fell in her arms to weep again.

I planned everything so badly. Forgot to make Ethan lunch, but Errin was feeling sick so gave her lunch to Ethan and she went to Nannas with Jayne. Went to the wake when I really should have gone home to pick up kids, but managed to ring Nanna and she did all the pick ups and deliveries and it all work.

Got home and was swamped and over whelmed by various ‘requests for attention’ from Nanna down to Jayne, had to just let it wash over me…just gotta wade through the night till 9.30…then it’s sweet sleep after a chat with my darling wife…not long now really…5 days to go!

“How can illusions satisfy God’s Son?”

“Father, the truth belongs to me. My home is set in Heaven by Your Will and mine. Can dreams content me? Can illusions bring me happiness? What but Your memory can satisfy Your Son? I will accept no less than You have given me. I am surrounded by Your Love, forever still, forever gentle and forever safe. God’s Son must be as You created him.”

 

Today we pass illusions by. And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear.

Lesson 271

For the growth of everyone who chooses, I am strongly recommending a film called ‘Incendiary’. It is not a film I would have chosen to watch unless it was recommended by someone I trust, I would never have picked it off the shelf had I just been browsing at the dvd rental store. Ignore anything, get through the challenging parts, sift through the sand and mud for the gold…I will tell you nothing more.

I wrote to a dear friend this morning going through her own personal hell. One of the things that I realised is the Phoenix story, as a metaphor for the hard times in our lives, can be extended on. The hotter the fire, the faster everything burns until the fire has no fuel to keep burning so it must go out….then the Phoenix can rise from the ashes in a quicker process.

This is why, sometimes things must get worse before they get better….so they can be over faster and the beautiful gifts of the adversity can be realised in all their colour and majesty in the bright light of the sun. We can only truly shine like the sun if there is the contrast of the night. How can we ever know how bright things can be unless we have the darkness to compare it with?

We therefore must sit in the darkness and in quietness and stillness wait for the birds begin to sing the sun into rising, feel its light touch us and warm us, and see how it does the same all around us.

I pray we all have the perfect amount of pain, suffering, healing, joy, love , peace and harmony in all things…for this IS what it is to be a human being. To be, IN ACTION, an example of the beautiful transmutation of trauma into love of self and others, love of the divine in EVERYTHING and EVERYBODY.

“Christ’s is the vision I will use today.”

Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God’s creation. In Christ’s sight, the world and God’s creation meet, and as they come together all perception disappears. His kindly sight redeems the world from death. For nothing that He looks on but must live, remembering the Father and the Son; Creator and Creation unified.

 

“Father, Christ’s vision is the way to You. What He beholds invites Your memory to be restored to me. And this I choose to be what I would look upon today.”

Lesson 270

Sometimes one single word can offend. intentional or not it will bring up anger in someone and the only way to stop this is to tip toe around them and not speak the word or words. Sometimes I choose not to ti toe, it’s probably a fault, I KNOW I’m not perfect, just perfectly human.

But as I am ‘perfectly human’ and that is what I was born to be, then it must be o.k. if I sometimes offend when all I seek to do is facilitate growth and love more completely. I cannot help that some interpret what I do in a different way and it is not my place to make them grow through the things that challenge them..all I can do is keep loving them as I learn how to.

It seems I have done it again…offended someone both in this blog AND subsequent attempts at communication. But it seems to me that this occurs for one of two reasons either miscommunication or there is something said that hits on a nerve…a basic truth one or both do not want to acknowledge.

Most of the time I feel it is the latter or though I concede that sometimes people either WANT to offend and others WANT to be offended.

I guess this is where all this forgiveness we are supposed to be doing comes in? After all, if we are not offended or ‘wronged’ in some way whatever will we ever have to forgive? And, as we are imperfect human beings, we can never really hope to go through life without offending can we?

The opportunity to heal each other arises every day. The question is….will we choose to take the opportunity or run from it only to run into it again in a different form. The only reason history repeats itself in our lives is because we do not learn the lesson contained within the experience. Sometimes we have to choose to sit in the mud we fell into longer before we realise the therapeutic value to our skin.

“I will not use the body’s eyes today.”

“Father, Christ’s vision is Your gift to me, and it has power to translate all that the body’s eyes behold into the sight of a forgiven world. How glorious and gracious is this world! Yet how much more will I perceive in it than sight can give. The world forgiven signifies Your Son acknowledges his Father, lets his dreams be brought to truth, and waits expectantly the one remaining instant more of time, which ends forever as Your memory returns to him. And now his will is one with Yours. His function now is but Your Own, and every thought except Your own is gone.”

 

The quiet of today will bless our hearts, and through them peace will come to everyone. Christ is our eyes today. And through His sight we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole; the holy Son whom God created one.

Lesson 269

I have written before of  how, when we heal, because of our interconnectedness, we heal others too. I am in awe of how powerfully that seems to be happening right before my eyes.

It is easy to be sceptic of that which is largely ‘unseen’ , I know, I have been a health practitioner for nearly 14 years and I have seen some freaky things that were hard for me to comprehend.

I find it easier to see these events for the miracles they are and they are all around us all the time…we just don’t make the connection with the ‘unseen’ .

Alison’s Dad is healing his 35 years of living with diabetes, he his doing it through a process of prayer, action and the intent of others around him…particularly his daughter. Since she was a small child she has wanted to help her father heal. The love and connection between them is extremely strong. There is a family story of the time her dad was away from home doing a course and Alison (14) ran away from home. In the time when there were no mobile phones, pagers etc, Alison’s father was driving along and just had a strong feeling he had to turn around and go home…so he did. I have watched this connection get to a point where they will now check in with each other to see ‘why’ one might be feeling a certain way when nothing external seems to be happening…I have learned a lot from their relationship and Alison and I formed a similar connection unconsciously very early in our relationship so powerful I felt it 20,000 kms away in another country!

Now, while Alison is doing a deep healing process in another state, it seems her father too is healing further. It would be easy to dismiss this…but I am too far down the road of this weird stuff to deny it anymore.

Alison and I have been on this path of deep core transformation and healing for a few years now…why would we continue if it were not producing powerful results?

I feel we are all moving toward leading a life of love, peace and harmony….anything else we perceive as not being this is simply our misinterpretation… 

“My sight goes forth to look upon Christ’s face.”

“I ask Your blessing on my sight today. It is the means which You have chosen to become the way to show me my mistakes, and look beyond them. It is given me to find a new perception through the Guide You gave to me. And through His lessons to surpass perception and return to truth. I ask for the illusion which transcends all those I made. Today I choose to see a world forgiven, in which everyone shows me the face of Christ, and teaches me that what I look upon belongs to me; that nothing is except Your holy Son.”

 

Today our sight is blessed indeed. We share one vision, as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours. We are one because of Him Who is the Son of God; of Him Who is our own Identity.

Lesson 268

There have been some interesting things come up for me lately, mostly around children and the partnership required to bring them up in a loving and balanced way. I’m not saying this cannot be done by one person….just that it is a massive task to do so.

One of the pitfalls I have seen during this time of being a ‘Dummy’ is the frustrating emotions that come up if one comes to depend on the children to take adult steps and be responsible like an adult. There have been a few incidents where ‘help’ from teenagers has resulted in a lot more work for the ‘Dummy’. But I must be grateful for them trying, else they will not bother to try at all. It seems to me that there is a lot to be said for the philosophy of letting the children BE children…because that’s what they are. Not to force growth, but to provide an environment where mistakes can be made and learned from in a loving way, without fear of punishment or scolding…and this takes a lot of patience for a ‘Dummy’ like me….but they are teaching me….I am just slow to learn sometimes.

The greatest gift I see so far in Alison being away is the opportunity to learn to love these children more, to fail at times and to forgive myself and learn from the failure. There is nothing like the lessons a child can teach a parent…they are really straight from God.

I have done some fascinating work with people lately…particularly relating to theories about Auric fields and what we now call ‘Sleep fasting’.

I have been doing some work with people’s Auric fields. For those of you that don’t know, these are the energy fields that extend outside our body that are a part of our make-up as a human being. There are 7 distinct fields and I have been sensing their relationship to various issues people have. What I am learning is, that a big part of the reason symptoms in the body return after treatment that ‘appears’ successful for a while is because the energy field which creates the environment for a heathy person to function in is damaged and needs repairing as well as the body itself. Basically, there is an ethereal suture required in order for the body to stay repaired as well. There is also the question of the need for ancestral healing as each field relates to a generation the 1st being self and children, 2nd parents, 3rd grandparents and so on through to the 7th field. This is all new to me and is being taught directly from spirit…very exciting really.

I have also been exploring the concept of ‘sleep fasting’. Often this can be initiated by Spirit, where you wake up and cannot get back to sleep, only, instead of trying to sleep you get up and go sit somewhere to pray and listen to the answer. This can be an amazing time of quiet when you can still your own mind enough to hear the mind of another. Going without sleep can help you sence another place, a higher conciousness…it is a fascinating concept and experience if you choose not to fight it.

Lastly, I have been learning about how NOT to scold a child, as scolding can often led to tears in their eyes or a scar on their heart. Instead, I am seeking to hold a safe place for them to grow. To gain the confidence and skills to overcome adversity and be the shinning people that they are born as…lofty ideals for a ‘Dummy’ like me…but I can aspire!? 

“Let all things be exactly as they are.”

“Let me not be Your critic, Lord, today, and judge against You. Let me not attempt to interfere with Your creation, and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity, and thus to let it be as You created it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me. In Love was I created, and in Love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be exactly as they are?”

 

Let not our sight be blasphemous today, nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today.

Lesson 267

Our little 6-year-old boy is showing signs of suffering without his mum around, it is heart breaking :  ( Today he just didn’t want to go to school as we were driving there. The tantrum soon became tears as we walked up the path and so I sat with him and just listened to him cry, holding him. Eventually we got mummy on video phone, that got him to the class room. His teacher and I got him to his chair and I sat with him singing songs with the rest of the class until, at the end of the singing, he felt o.k. for me to go…this all took about 30 minutes and I am so grateful I am in a position to be able to take that time with my children when it is needed. I was nearly bought to tears several times during the event…it was so sad.

11 days to go. The emotional strain is starting to show on a few of us. I chucked it in a bit last night and got pizza and a ‘adult drink’ for myself….and some fizzy drink for the kids. Errin (13) rang up from school in the middle of all of this stuff this morning because she was cold and wanted me to come pick her up and take her home…got her to ring mummy (she has the morning off uni today) and Alison told me later she used the skills she has been learning to get down to the fact that Errin was just missing mummy too and putting her hand up for some love. Lots of heart ache here.

In the middle of all this I have been asked to be a pall bearer for my friends funeral….I am honored to do this last act for my old friend….but wow it sure does seem like a pretty big load today. Might be better by Tuesday when the funeral is to be held?

For Alison and I, there has been a lot of validation about holding space for people. Allowing people to talk, yell, cry or be silent and in this silence that we hold for them by keeping the flow of the energy, people can be allowed to become their own healers. They are empowered. The moment someone else offers a solution, a tissue or even a hug, the energy can be broken and the opportunity is lost. What is important here is to not get in the way of the process someone is going through. It is all about growth and how can a person grow unless we allow them to step into their own power?

THIS is the most powerful way to help someone through their emotional and spiritual challeges….to simlpy say in action, ‘ You are the answer, and only you can get yourself through this. I will stand beside you and allow your beauty and power to come to the surface and shine through so that you can become the embodiment of love and light that you truly are!”

All that is required of us is to sit with them and hold the space. Not to bring our own ego in, just sit and REALLY listen. Understand that an emotional expression must occur so that a layer of muck can be cast off and the body be allowed to become lighter, so that the soul can shine through. It does not matter if we are going through our stuff while we hold silent and listen…as long as we do just that…the process for the person will be guided by God…we simply become the hollow bone through which the breath of THE Spirit of love can be blown upon whomever needs it…’Be still and know that I am God’ as the scriptures put it. Aho

I am very grateful to the special friend who wrote me and set me straight about yesterday’s blog about councillors..”you know the answers, you know the process you need to take to find the answers, all your family can do is love you, they can’t counsel you. and of course your ceremonies support people to have what ever experience they choose to have with you, trust the process mark.”……” love you my friend you will get through this, as you are a bringer of the light to a darkened world xoxo”… Right back at ya sister xo and the same to all of you on this path.

“ My heart is beating in the peace of God.”

Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love. It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breath; in every action and in every thought. Peace fills my heart, and floods my body with the purpose of forgiveness. Now my mind is healed, and all I need to save the world is given me. Each heartbeat brings me peace; each breath infuses me with strength. I am a messenger of God, directed by His Voice, sustained by Him in love, and held forever quiet and at peace within His loving arms. Each heartbeat calls His Name, and everyone is answered by His Voice, assuring me I am at home in Him.

 

“Let me attend Your Answer, not my own. Father, my heart is beating in the peace the Heart of Love created. It is there and only there that I can be at home.”
