Re: Be here NOW
 
I have to keep reminding myself that there are many who are lost and don't know the way, or have forgotten it.

Some have never even thought about our reason for being here - some, sadly, don't even think.

Things that I have always taken for granted, I'm coming to realize, aren't shared by a vast majority of us. This makes me sad - how could anyone not be aware of all the love and light that's being showered upon us?

For those who are in this state, I suggest that the first requirement is an open mind. Be prepared to listen to those who "Know," and don't reject what you feel uncomfortable with but hold onto it for a while. Be prepared to change your opinions of what is possible. By becoming open to new concepts, you will eventually find that doors open, shutters fall away and your world will be flooded with love and light.

Be prepared to love all without prejudice, be they black or white, Muslim or Christian. When you are able to do this, then you will be able to see your own inner light that will guide you through the darkest night when there is no sun, no moon, and not a voice to be heard.

Some of us are fortunate that we don't have to work at recognizing this freedom of spirit - it seems that we were born with this ability and knowledge. Maybe it's a sign that more souls are maturing and it is our job to help the newer ones to find the narrow path that widens out into a wonderful universe of love and light.

Love is light and light is love. I am - you are - we are love and light.

There are times when I feel like I'm riding a one-wheeled cycle on a tight rope. The view is exciting from up there and the ride is exhilarating and I'm not afraid of falling off because falling is a state of mind. :original:

If I do start to lose the plot, I just think of something funny and laugh myself out of whatever danger I thought I was in. The interesting thing is that when I get off my cycle after one of those events, I find I'm in a different place or frame of mind and the world is right and proper again - except for bathroom scales - they have a mind and sense of humor of their own. :sad:

be here now is the best advice.

oh how i need help with this but i'm glad i discovered the necessity of the here and now and i do feel the energy here... now... :-)

i have had some strange experiences the last few nights myself.

i've been seeing more of... the sky.

it's like i'm seeing things... but only come home with a very vague memory of where i have been. very strange. i wonder how many of the dreams i've had in an airplane were in fact an airplane. it's interesting what our minds come up with as cover stories for truth to make us feel better... and when it all comes up at once in our face and we have to make decisions in the now...

things are happening fast now. very fast. and it's either get swallowed by the black holes (i'm not a scientist, obviously) or take the leap.

being "here" is a leap. but it's not an obvious or easy step. and of course it isn't linear so most can't see it. it sort of happens all at once.

we happen. and if we are "here" when we are supposed to- things happen for us the way they might. but the strings are manipulated... even by other parts of our selves... and it is hard to regain control of these strings once they have been frayed and dealt to the manipulators.

hmmm. i wish to be. not to be manipulated. :-) i thank everyone here that has the good intentions of helping others to BE and know that the energy has helped me to stay standing.

There comes a time when all outer forms, words, and things of existance outside of us cease to hold

any importance. All that remains outside of ourselves fall away as we come back to the true essence

we have always carried within. This essence can be likened to a lighthouse that shines though the

darkness, beckoning all to follow it's radiance to safety. So too do we hold this same radiance within,

beckoning us unceasingly to follow it's soothing rays of to a magical place we all hold inside. May you

always listen and heed your inner light's calling and truth amidst the many illusions of this world. It

is your lighthouse as you travel through your life. It will guide you through storms, rocky shores and

rough waters to a place of peace, joy, and the highest truth there is.......................your truest self."

Re: Be here NOW
 
Fear is the tool of the negative or dark forces. Faith is the tool of the positive or light forces. Fear can be hard to overcome just as, in many cases, faith can be hard to achieve and then maintain.

From humanity's earliest days we have been a prey to fear. Fear of wild animals, fear of thunder storms, fear of having no food, fear of being without companions and the strongest fear of all - the unknown.

Humans have a very active imagination and fear can be used to manipulate this imagination. Religion was invented to control our fears and to control our behavior. Used in a positive way it endeavored to teach us how to love and care for each other and to live in harmony. It also tried to explain the unexplainable by attributing it to God's whim.

Used in a negative way, it induced fear of God as a jealous and possessive force, and the leaders of religion used fear as a way to induce fear and respect from the masses. These leaders used fear to advance their own interests.

To attain faith, you may need to have the support of a true friend, (of which there are many here in this branch of the Avalon family) and to learn to trust their judgment even if it goes against what you currently believe.

With faith, comes self confidence, and once you achieve self confidence, the world, as they say, is your oyster. Concentrate on thinking positive, good, healing thoughts and after a while these will become a natural way of thinking for you.

Thoughts have a very powerful energy to them and as many of us know without doubt, we create our own individual futures by the tone of our thoughts. Negative thoughts will give us a negative future while positive thoughts will bring us happiness and contentment.

A sure way to encourage positive energies to oneself is to think of a beam of light. Take your favorite color and think of it as having a powerful positive, loving energy to it. As you keep this positive aspect in your mind, you will find the light becoming stronger.

Like a fire, once it is lit it needs a little attention at first to keep it going. After a while it will become self sustaining. Once you have achieved this state, any time you start to feel fear, just "switch" this light on to flood your world with love and light. The fear will evaporate back into the thin air where it came from.

Peace and love to all.

the devas dance around with the fairy dust they sprinkle

the moon keeps a watchful eye as the seasons change
pure ideas ready to manifest as the energies re-arrange

simple and profound is the connection that we share
when the heart is in full blossom and the ego is bare

our spirits free...our hopes high...our intent is to heal

Hey Rhythm, great thread, its bringing the best out in everybody. I can't wait to meet you Brinty face to face, you're the man.

To tell you something about myself, i was a very angry man. Self employed, sarcastic, grumpy etc. Got into meditation, changed my life. Changed careers and now i looooove goingto work. I ooze love for everybody, Sounds funny but anybody that has known me for more than 5 years knows iam a different person.
AT work, they call me the battery ( amongs other nick names) full of energy. I have helped other drivers get through very tough times including the death of a spouse, severe depression, etc.
Its all about love, loving you are, caring for your fellow man. Using the gift of life to share with others. I have become a different person. Even i am confortable with myself. Meeting more avalonians has been a godsend for me. Wonderful caring people.
I think i am off topic, but hey, its all about sharing.

777 The Great Work 03-19-2009 11:12 AM

Re: Be here NOW
 
Cre8tion Sooooo Sweeeet

[I]A CHILD brought to its mother a piece of ice and asked: "What is this?"

The mother answered, "it is ice."

Again the child asked, "What is there in ice?"

The mother answered: "There is water in the ice."

The child desired to find the water in the ice, and it procured a hammer, pounded the piece of ice into little bits and the warm air soon changed all the ice to water. The child was grievously disappointed, for the ice that the child supposed contained water had disappeared.

And the child said, "Where is the ice that contained this water?"

And so it came to pass that the mother was compelled, by the child's persistent questions, to say, "ice is all water; there is no such thing as ice; that which we call ice is crystalized or frozen water."

The child understood.

A student brought to his teacher some water and asked, "What is water? What does it contain?"

The teacher answered, "Water contains oxygen and hydrogen," and then explained how the two gases might be separated and set free by heat.

The student boiled the water until all of the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen had been set free, but he was surprised to find that all of the water had disappeared.

Then the student asked of the teacher, "Where is the water that held the gases that have escaped?"

Then was the teacher compelled by the student's persistent questions to answer, "Water itself is the product of oxygen and hydrogen. Water does not contain anything other than these gases. In reality, there is no such substances or fluid as water; that which we name water is a rate of motion set in operation by the union of two parts of hydrogen with one part of oxygen and, of course, the phenomenon disappears when the union of the gases is broken."

The student understood.

A devout scientist presented himself before God and said, "Lord, what are these gases men call oxygen and hydrogen?"

The good Lord answered and said, "They are molecules in the blood and body of the universe."

Then spake the scientist, "Lord, wilt thou tell me of the kind of molecules that compose Thy blood and body?"

The Lord replied, "These same molecules, gases or principles, compose my blood and body; for I and the universe are one and the same."

Once again the scientist said, "My Lord, may I ask, then, what is spirit and what is matter?"

And thus answered the Lord:

"As ice and water are one, and the gases and water are one, so is spirit and matter one. The different phases and manifestations cognized by man in the molecules of My body—that is, the universe—are caused by the Word; thus, they are My thoughts clothed with form."

Now the scientist felt bold, being redeemed from fear, and asked "is my blood, then, identical with Thy blood in composition and Divine Essence?"

And the Lord said, "Yea, thou art one with the Father."

The scientist now understood and said:

"Now mine eyes are opened and I perceive that, when I eat, I partake of Thy body; when I drink, I drink of Thy blood; and when I breathe, I breathe Thy spirit."

So-called matter is Pure Intelligence and nothing else— because there is not anything else.

Pure intelligence cannot progress or become better. There is nothing but Intelligence. Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience must mean Intelligence; therefore these terms are all included in the word]http://freshimagehosting.com/images/...k64mdfl6et.jpg EYE T

Do you make the mistake of confusing the inner

with the outer and the outer for the inner ?

What is inside you , you project onto the wold
outside you.

You feel hungry , and then suddenly the worl is starving.

What is outside you , you internalize to be in you .

Its a cloudy day, and you think your supposed to feel moody.

you can create the beginingof a new life when you look for the

sourse of things within rather than outside your self....

Re: Be here NOW
 
It's amazing how something can stare you in the face and you are unable to see it until it is pointed out to you.

In a classroom the children were learning simple geometry and the names of different shapes. The teacher then asked them to tell her the number of sides each figure drawn on the blackboard had.

In turn she pointed to a triangle, a square, an oblong and then a circle. The children shot their hands into the air shouting for the teacher to pick them and each one chosen gave the right answer - until she pointed to the circle.

There was a silence and then one child put her hand up and said that the circle had no sides. The teacher told her that she was correct and that circles, being round, did not have sides.

Little Alan thought for a moment then tentatively put his hand up saying, "I think a circle has two sides Miss." The other children laughed at this and the teacher, with a patient smile on her face said, "alright Alan, you come up here and point out to us, the sides that a circle has got."


Alan got up from his desk, walked up to the teacher and taking her pointer, turns to the class and says, "a circle has two sides." Then turning back to the blackboard, and placing the pointer in the center of the circle said, "here is the in-side," then moving the pointer to outside the circle said, "and here is the out-side."

As in this classroom, so in the world around us - sometimes the obvious has to be brought to your attention. A bit like the expression about not seeing the woods for the trees.

Sadly, even after it has been pointed out, some folk still can't see it. This in turn reminds me of another expression -
there are none so blind as those who will not see.


What you think is reality may not be the whole picture - try a simple experiment, spend a few hours with the sight from one eye blocked.
