  Being-Everything

One cannot change the World by doing. Anything. One changes the World by... Being. Everything

Yes indeed, it is time to go within, and touch the essence of this journey, in this parenthesis in eternity that we call life.

We have a real need to raise the consciousness of humanity for it is in this field, that the real battle for an ascendant humanity, is being fought. We will not fail, for it is in authentic power, that of Spirit, with which we will ascend.

Our present World paradigm is in the use of Force to fix things, pure illusion, as force has never fixed anything.

Ultimately it consumes all, who work from this unconscious place.

It is my pleasure to interact with good souls...from a place of non judgment there are no other type; Just different than, which mirrors the diversity of this magnificent abundant uni-verse..I love it, in oneness, everything...paradoxical perhaps, to the five senses....still that is not my home anyway.

My joy is in the dance of the sixth and seventh senses, of intuition and knowing, which are impartial to ego.

From this place the other five senses move into alignment, and the protozoan nature of the ego surrenders its default mechanism, and instead of....."For now, I see through a through a glass darkly" we move into a state of grace...."but then, face to face, for then shall I know ..even as I am known."

Therein lies the alchemy of the human condition....conscious consciousness.. interaction with everything, no us or them, just exponential, logarithmic, Divine power, we, available to be exercised by all...

It has no judgment, coming from a place of Divinity. It is God's gift to use.... if we, but have the wit to use it:-)

In its ultimate state of use we reach journeys end, for the fragmented parts of the soul have all come home, back to its essence, which never left home....anyway!

This is how the Divine knows us.
This is why the Divine never judges us.....all else is Illusion. This is what I sense.... in this exquisite eternal moment :-)

My thoughts owe much to many, they are not mine alone.To those who have gone before, and lit the way, I give my love and thanks.

For we all are blessed, by their courage and example.......

And now, quite simply, it is our turn, to pick up the torch and light the Way......

 

 

 

"The Value of Peace"

Paulette Williams

 

I have always followed the path of least resistance. I believed that God is not a God of confusion and if I am in confusion I must be on the wrong path.  This year I have learned many things that would point to a God who wants nothing of me but that I chart my own way and be successful in it.  Well I have truly messed that up.  Let me share with you present position in which I sit.

I took a chance on a better life.  I pushed against the wall as if it would crumble before me.  When presented with a deal that could bring great riches into my life I leaped at it with both feet.  I threw caution to the wind and all hell broke loose.  I now have lost a very dear friend whose respect and love I valued.  He is the love of my life and I do not want to live without him.  He told me that he was beginning to doubt my intelligence.  But have you ever wanted to believe in miracles so bad that all logic is gone.  I stand in that place.  We use to talk every day.  Now I never hear from him.  The last communication was. “Thanks for all the love. Go and be happy.  Love always”

I stand to lose the respect of my children when they find that I have squandered all of the money and cannot pay the taxes on the property.  I borrowed money from both of my daughters.  The youngest has been saving for the bar exam and I spent it on this deal.  I don’t know how to tell her.  I am so ashamed.  My ego is completely crushed.  She has often spoken of me as the eye of the storm.  That is probably because I always chose the path of least resistance.  Oh yes, I am my own rock of Gibraltar.  In an economy where many have lost their homes due to foreclosure, I have continued to maintain with the help of my friends.  I would live within my means and whenever possible splurge on a meal out with the kids.  But I never coveted those things that others did which were not possible for me.  I live simple and I was happy with my simple life.  Oh I can’t say I never dreamed of more.  We always have our dreams.

I have seen myself standing out on this cliff.  It is high above a waterfall.  I have had the dream many times but only found out a couple of days ago where on the earth this cliff exists.  It is Juleda Falls in South Africa.  I knew that I would someday see it soon.  I just need this one deal to come through and all of our dreams would come true.

I would clean up the girl’s student loans and give them an opportunity to be free from the dept hanging over their heads just because they desired higher education.  I would give my sons the chance to attend a school of their choice and have a good life doing what they love.  You see life is not worth living if you cannot fulfill your passion.  But what is my passion?  In addition to being a great mother, I want to be a philanthropist. 

When I was young I wanted to be a Missionary Nurse and feed, heal, love on children in third world countries like Africa.  I became a minister because my desire to help people is so strong.  I know a great God that loves and want all to come to know this love.  Today I learn the value of peace while having my ego bruised beyond recognition because I have acted out of character and am feeling the burn of a hell I created for myself.  This is a place beyond hope because all hope is gone.  I know why many have ended their lives during this time of depression.  The stress is tremendous especially when you are the head of the house and the house is crumbling around you.  If incarnation is real, I said I wanted to return as a white male.  But that is not true.  I would hate to be in that position and feel that as the leaders of this society I was responsible for its demise.  I don’t want to be a man.  I only want to be a woman.  I want someone I can lean on at this moment.  I long for arms to hold me and a low calming voice to whisper in my ears words of comfort and care.  I have not been able to be a woman for a long time.

 

I am in this place somewhere in between.  Here you keep up the profile of your femininity while moonlighting as the man with shoulders broad enough to carry the load alone.  You know people look at you and wonder how you do it.  You never show stress and your demeanor conveys the message that you are weathering it all well.  You pray and meditate a lot as these things keep you in peace and in communication with the source of your only strength.  You believe that you are doing all that God requires of you.  Why your morals are impeccable.  No one can say that you have behaved conspicuously.   You are a pillar of the community, respected by all.  Your yard is well kept and your children neat and clean, with manners that reflect the quality of the home you are providing for them.  You could boast of your accomplishments but boasting is a garment that none wear well.  After all this is the life that God chose for you.  Then you learn that you created this.  You are the author of this book and suddenly it is not alright. The only thing God wants is that you take charge and create a life that you will be pleased with.  You have been provided all of the tools.  In my case I could say a spade, shovel, dirt and seeds are all at hand.  Now what are you going to grow in your garden.  Where do you begin to bring into manifestation your heart’s desire?  You and God are one; therefore your heart is God’s heart.  What do you want?

Well the computer hardware is the same, but now the system, the software must change.  This is easier said than accomplished.  You were going along finding yourself pleased with whatever state you were in because you thought it pleased the Source, Consciousness, The Prime Creator that you be in this place.  Now you know that if you do not decide a decision will be made for you, but not by God, by fate.  Fate is that which comes from the collective consciousness when we leave the results to chance instead of deciding for ourselves.  So I entered into this venture with the decision that life would be grander and more elaborate.  I envisioned a very loving and wise man by my side that also is not poor.  I no longer want to live in care of the three things that all animal life on the planet requires food, sex, and shelter.  I want to be the one bestowing on others, in the flow of the spirit, meeting the needs of others instead of always the one in need.  When the opportunity presented itself I jumped and did not hold back anything.  The results of which I have yet to see, but I am creating my own destiny aware of the choices I make for my life.  I must also bear the burden of my own failure in the process.  In all of this I have learned the incredible value of Peace.  Something my life has been absent of for a couple of months.  I long for my peace.  It is priceless.

 

 What is Kabbalah
 
 
 
 

Because it deals with fixed truths and universal principles it may be more correctly viewed as a science, a science that is felt by us as wisdom. It translates the architecture upon which all Creation is premised into an accessible guide that will profoundly enrich the life of the person who approaches it for the right reason. It contains the key that explains not only the way our inner and outer worlds are constructed, but why. It teaches a method that allows the spiritual seeker to live in exact accord with the guiding force behind the whole of reality and to work in the same way it does: with a higher creativity used only for the well-being and fulfillment of life. Kabbalah is called hidden because its purpose is to define and reveal our own and the higher nature that goes undetected by our senses... read more

Who Can Study Kabbalah?

When Rav Kook, the great 20th century Kabbalist and the first Chief Rabbi of Israel was asked who could study Kabbalah, his answer was unequivocal: "Anyone who wants to. In the last one hundred years, all the Kabbalists without exception clearly stated, and on many occasions, that today Kabbalah is open to all. Moreover, they said that it is a necessary tool in resolving the global crisis that they predicted would come, and which we are facing today. 

According to all Kabbalists, Kabbalah's hiding days are over. The wisdom of Kabbalah was previously hidden because Kabbalists feared that it would be misused, and misunderstood. And indeed, the little that did seep out evoked numerous misconceptions about it. Because Kabbalists state that our generation is ready to understand the real meaning of Kabbalah, and to clear up the past misconceptions, this science is now being opened to all who wish to learn... read more

Obama, The Unifier

Here's news: this weekend I heard Rahm Emanuel, the new White House chief of staff, publicly--even proudly—call himself a "liberal." It was yet another indication that Barack Obama represents a tidal change in American politics.

In place of a generation's worth of individualistic thinking, Obama brings a renewed commitment to another facet of our history: our belief in the ideal of unity, common purpose and community.

Yes we were pioneers, heading ever west with little more than an axe, a rifle and a bible. But we could not have survived in the virgin woods or on the unplowed prairies without each other.

Everybody in the capital is comparing Obama to Abraham Lincoln. But the more recent—and illuminating—comparison is Ronald Reagan. In 1981, Reagan came to town vowing a massive shift in philosophical thinking. "Government isn't the solution," he declared. "Government is the problem." Individual striving was the answer.

It was a message that resonated deeply at a time when voters felt they had lost touch with some fundamental American values; that government had grown too large, corrupt and incompetent; that taxes and bureaucracy were crushing creative freedom. They saw Reagan as the iconic Western cowboy, who meant what he said (even if he was a movie actor). And majorities of voters remained loyal to him, ignoring criticism from the national media.

A genial man, Reagan reached out privately to his political adversaries as he arrived in town. Even before his inauguration, he held a dinner at the old F Street Club for the city's reigning (and about to be deposed) Democratic establishment. He did not win them over, but he sent out a signal that he respected their history.

Happy New Year 2009  A New Year Prophecy
 

 

This is the year of Unity and Unconditional Love.  This is the year that we in the spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ turn from love of self in selfishness and the struggle for power to embrace the unity of the Family of Mankind in Light and Love.  We are water.  Water cannot be divided, burned, or dried up.  Water will transform under various pressures, but it will not disappear, it goes on.  This is the Age of Aquarius.  We are love, we are the beloved, and we are lovers.  This theme must become our goal and catch on all over the world as we move into this period of transformation to experience our higher self and unity with our Master.  Be the example that he was in devotion, love and ultimate sacrifice for the unity and enlightenment of all mankind.  Until all humans are infected with the love we emulate.  Let go of the struggle for material possessions which is clouded with the desire for power and selfish gain.  Let go of the struggle to lift ourselves up above our brothers and sisters for we are truly one.  All are equal in the sight of God.  All are loved.  God desires that all will see the light and be transformed.  All will move from this lower plain of thinking to one of elevation into a place of peace, comfort, and sharing earth’s resources which she so readily gives to us for our greater good and care. 

 

All will see the unity we share with God Almighty the Creator of all things in which is all and there is none higher.  We share the same DNA.  We all possess the DNA of God and that transcends the unity of race, party or nation.  That unity is the very essence of this creation.  Even to see ourselves as higher than the creation is a form of disunity.  The plants and animals can teach us something.  They know of this unconditional love and express it in the beauty and care they provide for us daily.  Whether it is a house pet that loves its master and is companion for that master with no relinquishment of devotion or the trees and plants that give of their fruit and vegetables to provide for our nourishment, we are all of God.   

 

We will all pull together in this year and see the healing of our planet and the smooth transition into higher beings.  The consciousness of the people will rise to encompass all and so end our enslavement to a life of difficulty.  There will be no more lack, for there is more than enough for all if none will hoard.  Those with open hands will experience this first.  Those with open minds will receive enlightenment first.  Those with open mouths will spread the word and show in their deeds that which is in the mouth is in the heart.  This message enters the mouth bitter because it breaks down our hierarchy.  However it will exit the mouth with honey as it brings healing to all who hear and receive.  A soft answer will turn away wrath.  Turning the other cheek will soften the heart of the one who throws the first blow.  Laying down our guns will open the door to peace among those who have fought so long that they grow weary of the battle.  No one wins in war.

Spread the word.  Go tell it on the Mountains over the Hills and everywhere.  The Lord Jesus Christ of whom I am a follower is born.  He is born in us, and this is His finest hour.  Ascend into His image which is the ultimate goal, is it not.  That we see Him reflected in the mirror.

One Planet- One People. 
Love your nieghbor.  Love Yourself
 
"All growth takes place by giving up a small identity to attain a new one and achieve the consciousness of the creator.  Jesus said it like this, "If you will lose your life you will find it.  What are you holding on to that is keeping you from this great treasure.
 

Well now this would require I give up my elitist position.  After all it truly gave my ego a boost to be told that I was the elect of God, the chosen, the anointed one, set apart for his service.  Could we all be chosen?  Could we all play equally important roles in the massive scheme of things as they are playing out on earth?  We also miss out on so much by keeping ourselves from discovering some of the knowledge and wisdom other religions or cultures have acquired over the years.  I am enjoying the peace and growth taking place in many through the gift of contemplation and meditation.  I would love to spend time in Tibet with monks who have truly perfected this particular subject.  But my Christian family and friends would say I have certainly gone off the deep end.   As I study other religions some of the puzzles which represent questions I dare not ask in the past have been answered for me and it did not take anything away from the bible.  It only confirmed and cleared some confusion. 

What if I gave you a book and said it is all about the life you are going to live outside the front door of your house.  And you began to read and read and read, gaining wisdom and insight daily, but never leaving the house to experience the life written about in the book.  I can only speak for Christians because that is where I have been for most of my life.  The last three years have taken me into others homes and I have read their books and worshipped with them.  We do serve the same God.  I have found many of them more kind and loving than I have experienced with Christians.  We profess Christ but hold on to our prejudices and racism.  Salvation is both personal and universalThat is the beauty of it.

 

Barack Obama- A product of the shift in Consciousness
 
 

 "Presidential election causing some question faith while others celebrate the shift in consciousness taking place in America"

 
 

As an African American being raised Black in America, I probably see this years  events different than most.  It is a bitter time for those who in their unconsciousness do not see that this was a necessary in the course of things and a positive move for our country.  How do you tell children of Black, Hispanic, Asian, or any other ethnic group that America is a land of opportunity when they open the history books and see 43 White Male presidents? 

This day was a great victory for all non whites hoping to be seen as equal in a country that has only utilized the hard work of people to their own advantage and personal gain.  I do not feel like an underdog anymore and never will again.  Yes myself worth and identity comes from a relationship with my creator that cannot be fabricated.  It comes from within.  It also makes it impossible for me to be unkind and use my brothers and sisters without regard for their well being.  Oprah Winfrey said, “It feels like a shift in consciousness”.  I totally agree.  I was also quite surprised at how quickly people who are conscious slipped into insanity when posed with the idea that lip service has now moved to action.  We can talk equality but on the inside if I still see you as subordinate to me, then I am deceived and deceiving.  If my vote was mandated by a party instead of a person, we are still asleep.  Even as religion has divided us into many denominations, the red and blue is simply another form of division.

My son voted for the first time this year.  He did not vote a straight ticket.  I want him to learn to see people as individuals in true bipartisanism.  Even as a house divided cannot stand, this nation can do great things all over the world if we would unite and support without backbiting our new president.  If we would all treat one another with the respect and genuine love that he exemplifies we can see peace not only in America going forward, but all over the world.  Many countries are happy with us today, because they also know that God lives large inside Obama.  He is God’s selection for this day, this hour, and this minute.  Have you ever seen anyone more present?

  LET'S GO DEEPER
You have everything you need.  The power to change the circumstances of your life are in your hands.  The biggest obstacle is your mind.  Learned responses, preconceived notions, believing the lies that others have told you. The world is full of rules that are meant to be broken.  I do not means the laws of the land.  Those should be obeyed.  But man has created laws which we adopt even before questioning the validity. We accept without researching how this rule began or what person or group was behind it.  There are many such notions about the bible, God and the human body that we will expose. 
   To learn more...
 
The life you always wanted is available now
 
 Addictions can be broken. You make choices everyday.   Make a choice for excellence, quality in life, love, and business.    Dare to dream, dare to believe.  Dare to break tradition and do what is in your heart.
 
We are spirits having a temporary human experience.  Our spirits are ageless, created before the foundation of the earth.  We will return to the creator after our respective assignments on earth have been completed.  It is essential to maintain our connectivity with that creator, higher power or God for guidance, support, and clarity of purpose.  Not a co-pilot role, but as the pilot.
 
 
In the beginning, there was only one state of consciousness, the spiritual, but since the fall, man has been divided into three parts.  Spirit, Soul, and body or spiritual, mental, and material.  Spiritual consciousness, when made flesh, is the perfect immortal body.  Few if any of the billions of people living on this planet have any knowledge of this level of consciousness and those who do are not optimistic that it is achieveable.  However, we must return to the Fathers house.   The return is only a matter of understanding where we are, for we have always been here.  In him we live and move  and have our being.  We are in the Father's house and everything we need is at our finger tips.

 

WHERE DO WE BEGIN?

 We must rise above mind.  On the road to this level of consciousness we briefly encountered the "If you can concieve it  you can achieve it stage."  This was temporarily effective, but it is not the ultimate accomplishment of man.  To relinquish control of our mind to the guidance of the Father is life eternal.
 
 

Begin by being comfortable with who you are and loving yourself i
  1. The mind is an instrument to be controlled by God.  
  2. There is a spiritual center inside each of us. 
  3.  All knowledge is available to us through our spiritual center when the mind is open to recieve divine input.
  4. Realize that the mind is not a power, but an avenue of awareness. 
  5. You and God are one.  Redirect any thoughts that bring a feeling of seperateness or dualism.  This will take a conscious effort on your part to not allow your mind to wonder on it's own.
