    Finding your life purpose: a great practical exercise for you.

    June 30th, 2009

    I learned this from Jack Canfield, who got it from Arnold Patent (www.arnoldpatent.com)

    I LOVE THIS!!!!
    Please get a piece of paper and a pen.

    1. List 2 of your unique personal qualities. Such as enthusiasm or creativity

    1.
    2.

    2. List one to three ways you enjoy expressing those qualities when interacting with others, such as to support or to inspire.

    1.
    2.
    3.

    3. Assume the world is perfect right now. What does the world look like? How is everyone interacting with everyone else? What does it feel like? This is a statement, in present tense, describing the ultimate condition, the perfect world as you see it and feel it. Remember a perfect world is a fun place to be. For example: Everyone is freely expressing their own unique talents. Everyone is working in harmony. Everyone is expressing love.

    4. Combine all the parts of the above together to create a single statement.  For example: My purpose is to use my creativity and enthusiasm to support and inspire others to freely express their talents in a harmonious and loving way.

    This world needs new leaders. It needs light. It needs you.

    June 25th, 2009

    In times of change, learners inherit the Earth, while the learned find themselves beautifully equipped to deal with a world that no longer exists.” – Eric Hoffer

    We are standing smack in the middle of a global shift. If you think life is going to continue as it always has, then you are in for a brutal surprise. This world is changing, and fast.

    Where are you?

    Are you lost in dreams? Or are you awake?

    Are you aware of the responsibility that is asked of you to take your place as the Savior of the world?

    YOU ARE NEEDED IN SALVATION.

    You are as God created you – which means there is no process, there is no transformation. It’s done. You are whole, healed and perfect as God created you. It means the work is accomplished and that you are ready to fulfill your function as the Light of the world.

    Are you ready?

    Do you realize that when Jesus said he would heal the blind and deaf and raise the dead that he was talking about you? He was talking about me. Jesus was not talking about physical blindness, deafness and deadness. He was talking about the human condition. He was talking about the walking dead who are blind and deaf: which is everyone you see, all the figures in the dream, sleepwalking their way through life, oblivious to all the wondrous splendor that is right there in front of them to behold.

    Transformation, in its fullest sense, is TO SEE and TO HEAR and TO BE ALIVE.

    You stop being deaf, blind and dead.

    To be awake is to be consistently happy for no reason.

    This is the ending point AND the starting point.

    While you are still “not quite there yet” you are actually blind, deaf and dead. I hope this pisses you off. This is a confrontation.

    If you are not consistently happy, you are blind, deaf and dead. Wake up. Time to get up.

    We don’t have time to dilly-dally anymore. The world needs you.

    “DELAY IN TIME IS TRAGIC.”

    This world needs light. It needs you. It needs leaders. It needs individuals with the willingness to demonstrate joy, passion, peace, purpose and love.

    It is impossible to do things the way we have done them before.

    Here are some great quotes to consider:

    “It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change. ~Charles Darwin~

    “There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.” -Niccolo Machiavelli, The Prince (1532)

    “Whosoever desires constant success must change his conduct with the times.” -Niccolo Machiavelli

    “Every generation needs a new revolution.” -Thomas Jefferson

    “The dogmas of the quiet past are inadequate to the stormy present. The occasion is piled high with difficulty, and we must rise with the occasion. As our case is new, so we must think anew and act anew.” - Abraham Lincoln

    “In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic, even lunatic.” - Alvin Toffler

    The colossal misunderstanding of our time is the assumption that insight will work with people who are unmotivated to change. Communication does not depend on syntax, or eloquence, or rhetoric, or articulation but on the emotional context in which the message is being heard. People can only hear you when they are moving toward you, and they are not likely to when your words are pursuing them. Even the choices words lose their power when they are used to overpower. Attitudes are the real figures of speech.” - Edwin H. Friedman


    So, we are standing in the middle of tremendous change. It’s already occurring. We are witnessing it with our very eyes. Last night I was watching television (for the first time in over a year) and I can’t believe how dumb it all is. I also noticed on the commercials that they use a soothing woman’s voice (I feel like it’s the same woman, is it? does anyone know what I am talking about??) and it’s the exact same voice they use in the futuristic movies (like The Island, with Ewan McGregor and Scarlett Johansson) to manipulate the masses on the gigantic movie screens that are in the streets, and in every building.

    I am blessing you in every way, you, who is reading this. I love you. You are as God created you. Do me a favor, please and rise above the nonsense, okay? Refuse to participate in the dumbification of the masses. Okay? Please. Do it for me. Do it for Jesus.

    Watching that crap on television, I could begin to see why people have difficulty seeing things clearly. I can see why there is confusion and muddy thinking.

    Plus every other commercial is about prescription drugs, telling you to call your doctor to get a prescription.

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All I could think was: holy crap, people sit in front of this box every night?? And listen to this nonsense?

    I woke up this morning, feeling drugged and disoriented.

    I suppose I sound like your great grandmother giving old-fashioned advice from the stone age, but whatever. Please be aware of what you allow into your mind and be conscious of how you spend your time.

    Going on all around you is the creation of God. You can tap into this power and it will disrupt all your old patterns, knock out your problems, heal all sickness, and catapult you into Heaven where miracles occur naturally.

    But first, you must have a willingness to change your patterns. If there is something in your life that is not working, then that is an indication that something needs to change. Move the energy in other ways than just sitting on the couch or in front of the computer every night.

    Please give me your blessing, holy Son of God.

    Please join with me in the resurrection.

    Please be part of the solution with me, as we usher in dramatic changes.

    We are no longer part of the sleeping dead, Instead we take our place with Jesus by our side and we spring to life, transformed entirely.

    “What this world needs is passionate individuals with the Love of Christ in their heart who have the willingness to go out there and teach the message of Jesus to those who need it.”

    Amen, Lord Almighty.

    Let’s start spreading the word that there is a solution.

    Feel free to post anything you find on Gorgeous for God, anywhere you please.

    Let’s start demonstrating the simple message of Jesus through all our daily doings.

    I appreciate your help.

    I bless you. I love you.

    Love, Lisa

    Abraham-Hicks: Practicing the vibration of what you want until you have achieved vibrational alignment with it

    June 9th, 2009

    I love this:

    Abraham:
    “When you are clear about everything you want, you will get all the results that you want. But often you are not completely clear. You say for example, “I want the color yellow and I want the color blue” but what you end up with is the color green. And then you say “how did I get green? I did not intend that at all.” But it came forth as a blending of other intentions, you see. Blending the color yellow with blue creates the color green.

    In a similar manner (at an unconscious level) there is a blending of intentions that is continually occurring within you, but it is so complex that your conscious thinking mechanism cannot sort it out. But your Inner Being can sort it out - and can offer you guiding emotions. All that is required is that you pay attention to the way you feel, and that you let yourself be drawn to those things that feel good or right to you while you let yourself be moved away from those things that do not.

    Here Jerry asks a question of Abraham:

    Jerry: How is it that some people seem to eventually attract something they’ve really really really wanted, but then when it comes they find that it turns out to be a very negative situation. it brings them pain.

    Abraham: Often, from a place that is very far from what is wanted, people will decide what they do want. But instead of focusing upon that desire, and practicing the vibration of it until they have achieved vibrational alignment with their true desire - and allowing the Law of Attraction to then reach out into the universe and bring them their perfect matching result - they become impatient and they try to MAKE it happen by jumping into action. But when they take action before they have improved the content of their vibration what they get is something that matches their current vibration instead of something that matches their desire.
    Until you practice your vibration, there is often a big gap between the vibration of what you actually want and the vibration that you are offering. However, without exception, what comes to you matches the vibration that you are offering.

    It makes no difference whether you want the specifics of it or not; it is the vibrational essence of the subject of your attention that is attracted. That which you really really want, you get. And that which you really, really do not want, you get.

    Lesson 149

    May 29th, 2009

    My mind holds only what I think with God.

    When I am healed I am not healed alone.
    Heaven is the decision I must make.

    Great stuff. The problem most sincere Course people have is that they think by giving to others, others will give to them. They think that ACIM requires them to help other people and then they will be healed. They think if they give a lot, they will get a lot.

    No, No, No, No, No.

    There are no others.

    You only give to yourself.

    You already have been given everything.

    Say this out loud: I HAVE EVERYTHING!

    Did you say it out loud? What happened? What thoughts crossed your mind?

    It’s good to find out what your personal blocks and obstacles are.

    As you allow yourself to be healed, the world is healed along with you.

    Sickness is isolation.

    Heaven is the decision you must make.

    A Course in Miracles is about joining, connecting with truth and remembering God.

    Practically everyone focuses on the material/physical aspects of their life. That’s the first problem. Then they believe the images that their body’s eyes show them. That’s the second problem. Then they get stuck in a groove trying to figure out how to transform these images (no money, lack of relationship, sick body). That’s the third problem.

    There is only one thing truly that will change your life: CONSISTENCY.

    Be vigilant only for God and His Kingdom.

    That’s your whole solution.

    Switch your focus.

    Change the dial on the radio station.

    Get out of the frequency of time and space.

    I’ve been on this journey for a very very VERY long time. I’ve made tremendous mistakes. I’m the slowest learner of them all. But here’s the good news. I’ve learned many things along the way. I know where the stumbling blocks are. I know where you’ll get stuck (and why and how) and I’m telling you how to avoid those pitfalls. I’m giving away all my secrets!! I’m handing them to you on a silver platter.

    I’m a tour guide into the known and unknown.

    I’m telling you, in very plain language, you must stop focusing on your problems. You must stop thinking about how to make more money. You must stop trying to improve your life, stop trying to alter time and space. This is so simple. LOOK TO HEAVEN! Put your entire focus on God.

    Your one response to everything should be appreciation and gratitude.

    This is the fast track.

    When anger and confusion come up, remember your gratitude, remember your Father in Heaven, and get the hell out of the quick-sand. There is zero need to stay in fear. None. It accomplishes nothing to stay fearful.

    Just re-align your mind with God.

    MY MIND HOLDS ONLY WHAT I THINK WITH GOD.

    Remember, you are TRAINING YOUR MIND in a systematic way. For this you need commitment and consistency.

    Trust me when I tell you that you will slide back down into forgetfulness.

    That’s okay, just don’t stay there! Get out of the quick-sand. Remember Heaven.

    This is a dream.

    There are no other people to heal. Your “sickness” is imagined. Your idea of limitation is imagined. You are healed and whole and perfect. It is accomplished.

    “Healing is the opposite of all the world’s ideas which dwell on sickness and on separate states.”

    1. Sickness is a retreat from others, and a shutting off of joining.
    2. Sickness is a door that closes on a separate self, and keeps it isolated and alone.
    3. Sickness is isolation.

    If you are sick, you are isolating. That’s neither good or bad, but contained right there is your whole solution. Right there is the answer to the end of all sickness and the end to all problems: Stop isolating.

    STOP ISOLATING.

    Focus entirely on creating with God. Join your brother. Fix your mind on the Kingdom of Heaven.

    “Heaven is the decision I must make”

    As you allow yourself to heal, the whole world heals along with you.

    Forget about other people. Forget about giving to get. Forget about healing the world. There is no world.

    This journey is an undoing, removing the BLOCKS to the awareness of love’s presence.

    What are the blocks in you?

    What physical things do you keep looking to improve/fix in time and space?

    What areas are you still fighting and resisting?

    Trust, the money issue and consistency

    May 28th, 2009

    There is one more thing I forget to mention:

    If you are going through the financial wringer and have no money, this is good!

    Rejoice! You’re right on track.

    All ideas must be disrupted. A Course in Miracles is about undoing every idea of “security” that you have. If you think that your safety and security lies in money, jobs or time and space, I can practically guarantee your world will be turned upside down at some point. Your safety and security lies in God, and nowhere else. Trust is the first characteristic of a Teacher of God, and there are 6 stages of “development of trust” and 4 of those stages are complete disruption (described in the Trust section in the Teachers Manual) and they really kinda suck!
    Sorry to inform you this, but it’s true. It’s right there in the Course for you to read. I’m not making this up. It’s in your course book and I know from personal experience that there will be periods in your life when it looks like you are failing miserably.

    You’ll have an easier time if you simply accept this statement as true … and keep going!

    You’re doing great. Don’t stop when it looks like things are falling apart. Just let things fall apart and TRUST.

    TRUST, TRUST, TRUST , TRUST, TRUST.

    You must be undone completely before you get to the stage of achievement.

    If you are reading this message, you asked for my help. My responsibility is to you. I would do anything and everything for you. I love you. I want you to find your inheritance and claim it. My hope is that I don’t lose you midway through the year because you lost your job or because your world is turning upside down.

    If your life is going all chaotic, there will be a tendency for you to think “this course is not working” or that you are doing something wrong.

    When in fact, this is when it’s going right!! All you need is trust.

    TRUST IS EVERYTHING.

    You have got to trust when you start losing things … because you will lose things, and here are times when it looks like things are being taken away. Okay? I’m just telling you. This will make it easier for you if you know this is part of the journey. Keep going. Don’t stop. Trust. Pray. Ask for clarity. Write to me.

    This course in miracles will take you on a bit of bumpy ride at times. It will turn you upside down and inside out. You will think it is failing. You might call God some choice swear words. You might decide to curse the day I came into your life. Some intense emotions will come up that rock you to your core.

    And there are some times when it looks like things are being taken away from you. THIS IS THE TIME FOR TRUST.

    This is the reason I want to work with you in every way possible that you continue to keep your commitment for the whole year.

    Usually the point when most people want to quit is when they are standing right in front of their inheritance. Yet, this is the place where you think you are miles and miles in lost territory.

    Please don’t bail on yourself. If you are starting to get lazy or bored in your mind, please make a new commitment to the workbook lessons.

    Start asking for help. Begin praying again. Talk to Jesus. Find your center again. Open the Course. Write to me. Whatever it takes.

    I know it’s overwhelming, but you are the Savior of the world, and it’s time to go the full distance. This is the Second Coming.

    We do this work for the Love of God, for each other, that this world may know peace, joy and happiness.

    I love you so much. You’re doing great. Write me any time. I’m right here.

    Love, lisa

    No exceptions/no compromise

    May 26th, 2009

    “Successful people adhere to the “no exceptions rule” when it comes to their daily disciplines. Once you make a 100% commitment to something, there are no exceptions. It’s a done deal. Nonnegotiable. Case closed! Over and out.” ~ Jack Canfield from The Success Principles

    With A Course in Miracles there is no middle ground. Either you are living the instructions 100%, no exceptions, no grievances, giving all to all, loving your enemies, remembering God … all the time, no compromise … OR …  you are in hell experiencing all the limitation that goes along with time and space. There is no middle ground.

    You will know where you are in your mind just by looking at your life.

    This used to piss me off royally, until one day I realized how simple it was to make a commitment to follow the teachings of Jesus with no compromise. From that day on, my life has been one big miracle.

    There is no world. This is a dream and does not exist. You don’t have to struggle anymore.

    There is a wake-up call going on throughout the universe right now, and if you don’t hear it it will keep getting louder and louder (in the form of sickness, poverty, and problems) until finally it gets your attention. It’s time to wake up.

    Can you hear the alarm? It’s blaring. It’s flashing red lights.

    There is work to do. God needs your help.

    I love you. It’s time to get up.

    Life is famous for throwing curve-balls. Be alert.

    May 24th, 2009

    Lesson 144 from the Gorgeous for God Membership site:

    My mind holds only what I think with God.

    There is no love but God’s.
    The world I see holds nothing that I want.

    This is so true. I’m not even here anymore. Every day I wake up and I’m in paradise. My mind holds only what I think with God. Love is all there is. The world I see holds nothing that I want.

    A Course in Miracles is 100% true. Jesus gives what he promises.

    You have an inheritance. Have you claimed it yet?

    The only way to to do this work is to do this work. Trying to understand will get you no where. If I say something that produces a change in you, you probably notice that eventually you start sliding back down into your old thinking and old routine. This is because the only fundamental change that lasts is change that comes from your own conscious active work. I can’t help you in any way. I’m just the messenger. You have to do the work. I can’t do it for you. No one can do it for you. Change that comes from outside is no change at all. You’ve probably already witnessed this in your own life.

    Random effects are nothing. They come and they go, and they are nothing.

    Lots of times people get excited by something I say and they go “YES!!! Oh my God! That’s it!” … but that’s not it. As you probably have already witnessed. Why is it, you’re asking yourself, can’t I experience any consistency in my life? Why do I get it, only to lose it again?

    Because the work is nonstop. You cannot merely alter your behavior. THIS IS CORE WORK. You are building a foundation in stone - not merely putting a new coat of paint on your life. You cannot allow yourself to get lazy. And no one can do the work for you. No one. I don’t care how brilliant a teacher you have - you are responsible for the shifts that occur.

    Stone by stone. Brick by brick.

    Most people like A Course in Miracles on a merely superficial intellectual level. It sounds good. They are intrigued by it. But almost no one actually wants to do the work. THE WORK.

    You’ll know if you are doing the work if you are seeing dramatic miracles in your life. Are dramatic miracles occurring in your life?

    If you are just moving along, reading this blog, reading the Course, waiting for something to happen … you missed it. You are absolutely no where.

    I hope this pisses you off. I hope to stir you up.

    YOU NEED CONSCIOUS EFFORT IF YOU EXPECT TO ESCAPE THIS WORLD.

    If you are drifting along, you need to shake yourself up again. There is no other way.

    Either you can produce something in your life that it is going to shake off the sleepiness in you and grab your attention, or the universe will send you something as a wake-up call. It’s better to do this from your own conscious effort. Stuff that the universe sends in usually will blind-side you. But sometimes … there is no other way.

    LIFE IS FAMOUS FOR THROWING CURVE-BALLS.

    So be alert.

    If you are just rolling along, not consistently happy but not making conscious effort to keep vigilantly doing the work … be careful. Shit happens.

    If this makes you nervous, good! Use that energy. Stay on your toes.

    Great quote!

    May 12th, 2009

    “This is the true joy in life, being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.” - George Bernard Shaw

    I love this! I can choose to be a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances! LOL. That’s awesome. I choose to be as God created me: a force of nature, a force of love.

    I love you. Talk to me. Tell me how it’s going with you. I would love to hear from you. What new miracles are occurring in your life? What are you doing for fun?  The holy Child of God in you loves to play.

    Sending lots of love on this day to you.

    Let’s celebrate Swine Flu for the gift that it is!

    April 28th, 2009

    I rec’d a letter from someone today that we should pray away swine flu. Here is my response.

    Dear ________________,

    Rather than pray away swine flu, it is better to look directly at your fear. Why would you be afraid of swine flu? Why be afraid of dying? To get rid of swine flu is not to look at the causes of fear, which is a tremendous gift and opportunity.

    I love Carlos Castaneda’s description that Death is standing directly behind you at all times, to your left within arm’s reach, behind you - ready to tap you on the shoulder and take you at any time. Today could be your very last day! A warrior becomes best friends with his own death and then he’s not afraid anymore.

    Most people have zero idea why they want to live till 65, 80 or 100, and yet they keep protecting their body to live a long healthy life. What for? What is it that is so important that you must be here in the world? This is a good question to ask. You have a purpose, but you don’t need to protect yourself. Find out what you want to accomplish in this world. And then follow in that direction. Stop waiting for your life to begin. It could end any moment. Why are you here? Is there something you are meant to do … that you have not been doing? Have you been waiting for your life to begin? If you were infected with swine flu, what regrets would you have? What things do you wish you had accomplished in life that you never did? Are there things left unsaid? Apologies that need to be made?

    Then begin it today. Set out to do all you want to do, and be gloriously alive!

    I have died almost twice in my life. Death tapped me right on the shoulder and scared the LIFE into me!! One time what felt like a brain tumor which lasted for a week, another time a heart attack. With the brain tumor, it made me look at what I wanted to do that I had been waiting for. What would I regret if I died? Back then, I wanted to write and publish a book and also I was waiting for my relationships to improve. If I died, I would die with great regret that I never published a book and that I never told several people that i was sorry for things I did, and that I loved them.

    So with death staring me straight in the face, I got busy!! There was a mess to clean up and work to be done!

    I wrote and published a book. I called all my family and friends. Wrote letters and apologized and said I loved you.

    And the amazing thing? I didn’t die.

    But I am no longer afraid of death. Now, I am terrifically gratefully alive!

    it’s almost like swine flu HAD to happen, because no one is paying attention to all the other atrocities of this world. People read that there is a brutal war or children starving and they say “oh, that’s horrible!” and two seconds later they are talking about their favorite television show and asking “What’s for dinner?” and then wondering who is going to win Dancing with the Stars.

    Swine flu hits home. It’s not out there anymore. You can’t push fear under the carpet anymore. This might affect you and your family. It doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor. It doesn’t matter where you live. This has the potential to affect everyone, which makes it a great terrific gift!!! Now you can look directly at your fear and remember the truth.

    Getting to purpose and letting the Holy Spirit have all of you will keep you perfectly protected. Nothing can happen to you when you let go of all your goals, and let yourself be a perfect channel of communication for the light and love of Heaven. If there is work to do, and you are doing it, nothing can touch you.

    And when the work is finished, you’ll go home. End of story. It could be today. It could be 100 years from now.

    Your body is a means of communication for the light and you don’t have to protect yourself. You will do the work God has sent you here to do, as you have so beautifully been doing. Your life is a perfect demonstration of the Love of God. Don’t worry about anything. Just keep extending your light and love as I have always known you to do.

    Thank you for writing. There is nothing to fear. There is nothing to heal. You’re whole and perfect as God created you.

    I love you.

    What would constitute a miracle for you?

    April 26th, 2009

    It’s a good idea to take an inventory of what you think is POSSIBLE and NOT POSSIBLE. It’s great to have a look at what your beliefs and ideas are - to put them right down on paper - to look directly at your self-perceived limitations, doubts, fears, wishes, and desires.

    What do you believe is possible for you? What do you believe is not possible for you?

    Write it down.

    IN GOD, ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

    And then to answer the ultimate question, what would constitute a miracle for you?

    DEFINE YOUR MIRACLE.

    Name it.

    Ask for what you want.

    Set the goal.

    Nothing can happen until you get clear in your own mind and begin to see the power that has been given to you.

    40-Days in the Wilderness

    April 26th, 2009

    The 40-day adventure to heal food addiction using A Course in Miracles begins on May 1st.

    imtbannerfinal.jpg

    It’s not a diet. You can use it to heal any addiction. The program is designed to strengthen your core and make you aware of the power that is within you, given to you by God. The problem most people have is they try to change external situations (dieting, controlling, planning, organizing) and then wonder why they fail.

    You fail because the only work that produces results is to strengthen your core and increase your personal power by getting rid of blocks and obstacles. Then miracles occur naturally.

    PURIFICATION IS NECESSARY.

    If you have tried to change yourself by changing your behavior, you already know that doesn’t work. The only way to change is through inner work and purification.

    The only way to get rid of obstacles is to get above them, to rise up your thinking.

    So we’re gonna start from the top - the finish line - and stay there for 40 days.

    You will emerge healed, whole and perfect because that’s where we are going to start and that’s where we are going to stay.

    For 40 days we will encourage and inspire you to stay in a space where miracles occur naturally as expressions of love.

    Most people falsely believe you can change yourself slowly. CHANGE IS IMPOSSIBLE. There is no journey. There is no process. PROCESS IS THE PROBLEM. The solution is to allow yourself to be catapulted ON DAY ONE to the place where you are completely transformed … which is now.

    You are already all that you wish to become … it’s just operating in a different frequency of light so you think it takes time. But what you want and need and desire is right here, right now … and you will see it when you have the willingness to see yourself differently.

    The difficulty is most people cannot stay in a high frequency where love is all there is, where every sickness is healed, where addictions do not exist and where problems are non-existent. Most people slide back down to old habits and limited thinking.

    The 40-day trip into the wilderness is designed to help you stay in the light.

    Law of Attraction and Manifestation is child’s play.

    April 25th, 2009

     

    Lesson 115 from A Course in Miracles:

    Salvation is my only function here.

    My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made. For thus I am released from them with all the world.

    My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.

    I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the world. For He gave me His plan that I might save the world.

    If you are busy, stressed, overworked, tired, lonely, sad, depressed, angry or confused … you will notice that just by taking a moment to stop what you are doing and to open A Course in Miracles and read the daily lesson, it changes the quality of your day.

    It stops the flow of thinking and puts you in a brand new place, instantly.

    Extending light and love to yourself and others catapults you out of darkness. You’ll find yourself standing in tremendous peace and joy.

    A lot of people nowadays are talking about manifestation, Law of Attraction and projection. Almost everyone now agrees that what you see out in the world is a mirror reflection of your inner thoughts.

    Well, if you are with me, I’m telling you there is another step to take beyond that. Projection exists only in the illusion. Manifestation is child’s play. Attracting a house, a car or money is like playing with baby blocks. It’s nothing. Anyone can do it. It’s for those still sleeping and dreaming. You have been given all power. Extension of light is where you will begin to see miracles occur.

    When you take your function in God’s Plan for salvation you’ll see much more than a house, a car, or money. You’ll slip right past this world and see your inheritance, and all your needs will be taken care of without you even asking or visualizing. The Holy Spirit knows your needs and it will give it to you, bigger and better than you could have imagined for yourself. You don’t have to tell Him. He knows what will make your heart sing. You need only take your place in God’s Plan for salvation and do the work that is given to you to do: hear the Word of God and to forgive the world all the errors I have made.

    Projection is for those still sleeping.
    Extension of light is for those who are awake.

    Let the light of you flow into this world and be prepared for miracles!

    Are you an Indigo?

    April 23rd, 2009

    I enjoyed this article about Indigos. I definitely can relate. It gave me a new perspective on some of the way I am sensitive to energy. It feels like I have less and less tolerance for certain energies. I have no patience any more for grievances or gossip. I have been developing resistance to certain food (processed food leaves me feeling like I’ve been drugged). How about you? What is your experience in the light? Do you feel as if things are getting intensified in the world and in your life? Do you feel like you are becoming more sensitive?

     

     

     A Message from Stefanie Miller

    Indigo children are those who are believed to represent a higher state of human evolution. The term itself is a reference to the belief that such children have an indigo colored aura. The color indigo represents the chakra of the third eye, which is associated with intuition, and paranormal abilities such as seeing angels or deceased loved ones. They possess the ability to discern what others are thinking and feeling, and are highly empathic. Thus they have the ability to know when someone is being authentic, honest a truthful.

     Indigo children are highly sensitive with a clear sense of self-definition and a strong feeling that they need to make a significant difference in the world. They are strong-willed, independent thinkers who prefer to be self-guided rather than directed by others.

    They are unique in the way they see things and will not conform in order to fit into society. Indigos possess wisdom and a level of awareness “beyond their years.” When you look into their eyes you can see that they are old souls, and wise ones. They can be very outspoken, speaking to an Indigo is like talking to a miniature adult of sorts!

     They are often diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD), Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD), Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Dyslexia, and also Autism, and that they become unsociable when not around other Indigo, Crystal or Rainbow Children.

     They are also prone to depression and sleep disorders such as insomnia and persistent nightmares Indigo children also possess defining characteristics in learning; indigos tend to be more visual, kinesthetic learners so remember best what they can picture in their brain and create with their hands. They are highly energetic people so movement is required to keep them better focused. They love to talk and explain things. They tend to be very animated and dramatic.

    The Indigo’s life purpose is to bring awareness that the old systems no longer work and rally for change. They possess a low tolerance for people and systems that are not authentic and authority without a good cause or reason. They become very angry, frustrated and will act out if they feel injustice is going on.

     Because they are so highly sensitive they tend to a have lot of allergies to foods, and environmental toxins, and this can cause them to become off balanced easily. Indigo’s need to learn how to maintain balance in their lives.

     When surrounded by a lot of negativity, anger, loud, noisy places and things of this sort, they will become imbalanced and will absorb the negativity and begin to act out in an angry way or become very introverted and have difficulty coming out of their shell.

    The characteristics and attributes of the Indigo and Crystal Child may apply to anyone, whether a child, adolescent, young adult or middle aged. There were souls that elected to come to the planet early on to feel things out. An example would be in the 60’s when the flower children and hippies were prevalent. To a large part many of these individuals eventually chose to conform to societies standards, however, the Indigo’s of this generation aren’t as willing to comply. The challenge today is for parents, teachers, and society to rethink how things are done.

    If you, as an adult or parent resonate with this information, you very well may be a parent, adolescent, young adult or adult Indigo or Crystal being. Please know that you are not alone in experiencing feelings of isolation, anger and frustration that you can no longer keep contained, a nonconformist attitude, you may be highly intuitive and/or psychic, feeling like you don’t belong or fit in (on this planet, in society, in your family, community, work, etc.) There are many soul and family groups coming together at this time to band in unison to re-member. We are cultivating a New Earth.

    Through love, dedication, honesty, clear communication and trust we can make our planet, our lives and our children’s lives a better, safer, more joyful place to be. The heart connection begins with you. I offer advice and solutions for parents, techniques for adults but the real effort begins in your life and how you approach it. Connect with your higher self, listen to your heart and make the necessary changes to make living and assimilating on planet Earth a more enjoyable experience.

    There is a legion of angels, archangels, spiritual guides and ascended masters that are watching over you. All you need to do is call on them for a healing or knowledge and they will assist you in any area of your life. If you are ready to find a teacher, healer, book, soul family, school, or experience a healing, they are eager to help! Take the first step. Open your heart and experience the love and acceptance that is waiting for your taking.

    I meet so many people that are astonished to find out they or their child are an Indigo/Crystal child. They never knew why they were different than others. Now is the time for the awakening and the changes to begin. Change doesn’t have to be difficult or negative. It is a necessary and unavoidable part of life. Allow yourself to accept your own or your child’s uniqueness and let it flourish. I know that there are often many obstacles on the journey to remembrance. Embrace them joyfully and know that you and/or your family are growing and flourishing as God’s children.

    It’s important to keep in mind that the Indigo, Crystal and Blue rays are highly sensitive people. By identifying your attributes and characteristics isn’t meant to label anyone, single them out or make them more important or significant than anyone else on this planet, because in truth we are all equally important and valuable. The value in identifying your origin or the origin of your child is to come to a realizations and understanding so that you can take the proper and necessary steps in caring for yourself and your children to make life more at ease and joyful.

    I hope the information I offer here is of value and service to you. Take the suggestions that resonate and consider what works for you and your family.

    Knowledge, awareness and understanding are the first steps in growth and healing.

    Many Blessings,

    Stefanie Miller

    The Boringness of Success by Christine Kane

    April 18th, 2009

     By the fabulous gorgeous brilliant beautiful Christine Kane. I love this woman so much. She is an inspiration and muse to me:

     http://christinekane.com/blog/

    By Christine Kane

    My trainer pisses me off.

    Her name is Kam.   She puts these heavy weights in my hands and makes me push them in various different ways to build various levels of strength in my body.

    That doesn’t bother me so much.  I can play that game.

    But just when I think I can’t push any more or lift another time, she says, “Okay, three more. You can do it!”

    That’s when I decide to hate her.  Sometimes I even spew mean things to her in between breaths.  This only makes her laugh.

    The truth is, I pay her to do this to me.  Because this is when I would typically stop.

    This morning it dawned on me during my work out that this moment – when I want to toss a dumbbell at Kam but lift the weight anyway – is what success is all about.

    It’s about the uneventful little choice we make in the moment. Every moment.

    It’s so typical to make success about the “there” we arrive at.

    “115 pounds!”

    “Best-selling author!”

    “Billboard Hit!”

    “A million bucks!”

    “NCAA Champions!”

    But the truth about success is that it’s really kinda boring.  That’s because it’s not about the arrival.

    Success is about the choices you make each and every moment.

    Not each and every day.

    Each and every moment.

    •  Push the weights up three more times when you’d rather be in bed.

    •  Write the next paragraph when the family is watching television.

    •  Sit with your guitar and a lyric idea when you have no idea of the outcome.

    •  Market yourself and your product consistently when you’d just as soon give up.

    •  Practice shooting three-pointers a hundred times each afternoon for 4 years.

    A few years ago, I mentored a woman who had big dreams and goals.  She’d mention a new idea on a call, and together we’d break it down into small chunks and do-able activities to help her create this new thing in her life.

    But after a week, she’d get bored. Frustrated. She hated just sitting there writing.  And research wasn’t nearly as cool as her imagined fame and notoriety.

    She wanted to be THERE.  To arrive in that glorious moment of success that is already guaranteed and sparkly.   So, she did what most people do when they’re faced with their own illusions of what success should feel like.

    She gave up.  She went back to her self-created world view that none of “this stuff” works for her.

    I was sad for her.

    Not because I knew she could succeed if she put her mind to it.  Not because of some grandiose outcome she’d never have.

    But because she would miss out on the splendid truth of success:  The miraculous boringness of it.

    When I am succeeding, there are no cameras flashing.

    When I am succeeding, there are no articles being written about me.

    When I am succeeding, it is just me and my relationship to the moment.

    This is not news-worthy. In fact, from the outside it looks downright boring. But on the inside, there’s an all-out ticker-tape parade in the streets of my head.

    Because I am choosing to do what matters to me.

    Because I am not listening to the gangs of critical voices that used to run my entire day.

    Because I am willing to sit there in spite of not knowing the outcome.

    This is the miracle of success. This seemingly boring choice in this seemingly boring moment.

    What boring choices are you going to make today?

    Accepting new energies and not reverting back to old ways. - Kuthumi

    April 16th, 2009

    “It is now time to have acceptance of the new energies, of a new path, a new Earth. The old ways will no longer serve you. I tell you if you revert back to the old ways, you will begin to feel ill, physically and emotionally. Your levels of energy will be quickly depleted. Further, if you continue in the old ways of behavior, your energy field will be vastly weakened. You see the third dimensional energies cannot survive in the new fifth dimensional waves of energy engulfing Earth and all who live on it. And so I say to you accept.”

    The miracle of your changed DNA within you, encouraging you to accept and move forward seeking only peace and love, opening your heart to others in support and assistance on many levels. This itself is a great miracle if you look back to your history. A history full of anger, control, greed and war. This is the old way of living. Over the previous nine years you have been prepared in your mind, as well as your heart. We have spoken of this – of the mergence of the left and right brain. This has also played it’s part in your evolutionary process. The need to live in the moment. To accept. To release control of your future time.” - Kuthumi
