The topic is:
lots of times people ask in prayer for something and then wonder why it doesn’t arrive – and the reason for this is because of the POWER OF YOUR WORD and the POWER OF YOUR THOUGHT. If you ask for something, then know for certain its on it’s way, don’t sit around waiting.
Get ready for it. Start preparing for its arrival. It’s on its way.
Are you ready for it?
What are the words you are using? What are your thoughts about it? What are your preparations?
Are you excited that what you’ve asked for is coming? Are you happy that your request has been heard and answered? Are you making room for it in your life? Or are you still scratching your head in depression and sadness and confusion “waiting to see” if it comes?
You’ll know which place you are in by THE WAY YOU FEEL and THE WORDS YOU USE and THE THOUGHTS YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
Are you still wondering if the request was heard and if you are worthy? This is what most people do when they ask for something in prayer, they turn right around and start doubting.
Don’t do that anymore.
TRUST.
KNOW.
When you want something and you ask for it, start making preparations for it. It’s coming. Don’t doubt. Just get busy. Get your life in order. Know it’s on it’s way.
If you ask for something, and you really really want it, and you’re serious about it, then start making preparations for its coming. Don’t wait for God to give it to you, you have to do the work. Make yourself ready.
Get your life and house in order for it’s arrival.
I will be speaking from one of my favorite books, THE GAME OF LIFE AND HOW TO PLAY IT by Florence Scovel Shinn. This book is a gem – she talks about getting aligned with the word of God and Jesus Christ.
She is part of the whole group of spiritual teachers and New Thought thinkers in New York in the early 1920′s, a friend of Emmet Fox.
I love this bit:
haha! 1925. If you do not know the power of the word, you are behind the times. In this book she talks about words and thoughts being vibrations and frequencies of energies, and I’ll be talking about that this morning.
Shinn expressed her philosophy as:
“The invisible forces are ever working for man who is always ‘pulling the strings’ himself, though he does not know it. Owing to the vibratory power of words, whatever man voices, he begins to attract.”

on the radio: http://www.acimgatherradio.org
I’ll be interviewing my gorgeous friend Carla Serrano today from 12-12:30pm on ACIMGatherRadio – and the topic is
Listen in LIVE here at 12pm EST: http://www.acimgatherradio.org/
Then for the rest of the hour, we’ll open it for questions and comments.
She posted something I really loved on facebook a week ago, and so I’m gonna get the whole scoop on it today at 12pm.
Here’s what she wrote:
“Life has taken an interesting twist. I just want to live in Joy so I stopped struggling, I let go, and now a whole new world has opened up. So many fun things coming up. I feel kissed from inside ? I.Love.You.Me. “Yes, IT IS easy! This just came upon me and I literally now have all the time in the world. No worries. No struggles. Just pure happiness doing what I Love. Things are just showing up in my face. WOW. That easy. The first thing I do everyday is wake up and give thanks. First things first!” -Carla Serrano
I love that. What I also love is that while yes, she knows about A Course in Miracles, I get the sense it’s not her main practice (although I could be wrong, we’ll find out today) but what I like about her change of mind is that without the Course, she simply made a decision to live in joy and stop struggling – SO SHE DID! She LET GO – and it was that easy. It didn’t take any time. In the moment of decision TO BE HAPPY, you just let go and “a whole new world opens up”
AMEN!
Join us at 12pm today, live!

WHAT IS YOUR “I AM”?
Enjoy! Click this link to listen: http://tobtr.com/s/2530883
YOU CANNOT BE FOUND UNTIL YOU START SHINING YOUR LIGHT.” -Max
WHAT IS YOUR “I AM”?
The Name of God is YOUR name. When God spoke to Moses in the burning bush (in the book of Exodus) when Moses asked God was his name, God responded: “I am that I am” So when you add things to “I am” like depressed (I am depressed), sad, lonely, sick, confused, guilty you are using the name of God (I am) in vain because God’s name is I AM. Is God depressed? Is God guilty? No. God is love. Then how can you be depressed or guilty, if you ARE what God IS.
To say “I am depressed” is not only an attack on yourself, it is an attack on God
So, what can you do? stop it and start using the I AM that’s Jesus gives you:
I am love.
I am joy.
I am happy.
I am the resurrection.
I am the way the truth and the life.
I am the light of the world, along with you.
Join me and Max today at 4pm EST. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/maxandlisa/2011/11/08/the-max-lisa-showa-course-in-miracles-radio
I am the kind of teacher who teaches that the body is healed. Jesus doesn’t just leave us with a healed mind and broken body. Healing is total – when you take your place in God’s plan for salvation and you know your purpose AND ARE FULFILLING IT, the body becomes a perfect instrument for communication and all pain and sickness disappears.
“ONENESS AND SICKNESS CANNOT COEXIST.” -A Course in Miracles
Don’t try to fix it, and don’t try to heal your mind around it.
Thinking about your body and how it is failing you is a total waste of time and energy.
Just forget about it, and focus your attention fully on remembering WHO YOU ARE, WHY YOU ARE HERE, allowing your body to be a perfect channel of communication for God – allowing His love and joy to flow through you.
Who cares if you don’t have legs, or if you have cancer? There is nothing stopping you from living your life fully except your excuses – you are a Child of God – and you can be happy.
There is nothing stopping you from being the light of the world, today, right now, whatever condition you are in. Don’t wait until your body, or finances or relationships are in order – you’ll never begin! Just start where you are right now, and forget about excuses.
And as you do this, as you allow the light of God to flow through you to others, sickness disappears.
So – a practical way is that every time a negative thought comes up (worry, doubt, complaining, fear) simply catch the thought and say NO! I’m not going there. I don’t do that anymore – I have a function as the light of the world for God.
Just keep stopping these thoughts in their tracks, and then switch to a thought of gratitude, appreciation, joy, and love.

Healing is accomplished as you recognize your function for being here in the world, and begin living it.
from A Course in Miracles, very uncompromising (and very exciting):
“Healing is the result of using the body solely for communication. Since this IS natural, it heals by making whole, which is also natural.” -A Course in Miracles
The removal of blocks, then, is the only way to guarantee help and healing. Help and healing are the normal expressions of a mind which is working THROUGH the body but not in it. If the mind believes the body is its goal, it will distort its perception OF the body, and by blocking its own extension BEYOND it, will INDUCE illness by FOSTERING SEPARATION. Perceiving the body AS A SEPARATE ENTITY cannot but foster illness, because it is not true. A medium of communication WILL lose its usefulness if it is used for anything else.
and this I love from the Teacher’s manual: How many teachers of God to save the world about THE PROPER PURPOSE OF THE BODY.
What makes God’s teachers is their recognition of the proper purpose of the body. As they advance in their profession, they become more and more certain that the body’s function is but to let God’s Voice speak through it to human ears. And these ears will carry to the mind of the hearer messages that are not of this world, and the mind will understand because of their Source. From this understanding will come the recognition, in this new teacher of God, of what the body’s purpose really is; the only use there really is for it. This lesson is enough to let the thought of unity come in, and what is one is recognized as one. The teachers of God appear to share the illusion of separation, but because of what they use the body for, they do not believe in the illusion despite appearances.
The central lesson is always this; that what you use the body for it will become to you. Use it for sin or for attack, which is the same as sin, and you will see it as sinful. Because it is sinful it is weak, and being weak, it suffers and it dies. Use it to bring the Word of God to those who have it not, and the body becomes holy. Because it is holy it cannot be sick, nor can it die. When its usefulness is done it is laid by, and that is all. The mind makes this decision, as it makes all decisions that are responsible for the body’s condition. Yet the teacher of God does not make this decision alone. To do that would be to give the body another purpose from the one that keeps it holy. God’s Voice will tell him when he has fulfilled his role, just as It tells him what his function is. He does not suffer either in going or remaining. Sickness is now impossible to him.
A Course in Miracles:
I’ll be on Paltalk.com today at 12pm EST noon. The topic is inspired by my lovely friend Susie who wants to know how to be in the world but not of it.
This is a great topic.
It’s impossible to be in 2 places at once. There is no meeting place between the world and Heaven – the two worlds don’t mix. A lot people try to bring God (peace, love) into this world, into their life and then wonder why it isn’t working.
Because the two worlds don’t meet. If you want to be happy, you’ve got to leave this world behind, get above the battleground.
Mooji is teaching these days: “STAY IN THE “I AM” FREQUENCY. Enough with your stories!”
Don’t be split between the worlds. Be in the world, but not of it. It IS possible to stay centered in God all day long, and allow the joy of God and the love of God to flow through you.
What a lot of people really don’t understand is that once you have had an experience of Christ-consciousness, of being “out of the world” (and everybody has! those moments of pure joy, when you feel in love with everyone, you’re at peace with yourself, you know you’re not alone, you feel loved and lovable, there are no problems, no fear, just happiness), well, what happens is that once you’ve reached that consciousness level if you are not vigilant to stay there (and practically no one is), when you drop back down into your old habits they are DOUBLY PAINFUL.
This is described in the bible in Matthew 6:23: If the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness!”
The Master Teacher used to talk about this – that when you use the light that has been given to you for your own purposes in the world (better relationships, more money, happier dream), the light turns to darkness.
HOW GREAT IS THAT DARKNESS!
Light that is dark is doubly dark!!
It’s light that’s gone poison because you tried to use it for your own purposes.
Anyone following a spiritual path who is not being vigilant knows EXACTLY what I am talking about. Before, when you were just deep in oblivion, going along the routine, things were painful … but bearable and tolerable.
Once you have an experience of joy and then dip back down, Oh my God, it’s excruciating.
You feel things more deeply, you are even more sensitive because once you enter into God-consciousness – even if just for a split second, or a day or a week or a month – once that has occurred – your whole system of being-tightly held together is now unraveling. There is a crack where the light has entered.
And if you try to hold onto your old thought system while a new one is being introduced, you will definitely feel the pain of it, more acutely than before.
The best thing to do is let yourself be COMPLETELY UNDONE – but this isn’t what most people do. Most people think, okay, I’ll just go back to my old way of living now. I’ll use this light to help others, I’ll use this light to find a love relationship, I’ll use this light to find peace, which seems innocent enough, until you see how painful it is.
You can’t be in 2 places in once. You have to choose – CHRIST CONSCIOUSNESS or ILLUSIONS and if you are trying to use the light to be in the world, you will get the effects of it .. and well, it won’t be pretty!
So this is my topic for today: 12 noon EST. http://www.onemindfdn.org/acimgather.htm
I’m open for questions and comments and general dialogue and so it should be a good time.
I love doing A Course in Miracles lessons every morning. The book is on my night-stand within arms reach of where I sleep – so all I have to do is roll over and there is my book. I need the reminder of God before any other thought gets in.
I have a little ACIM daily calendar which tells me what lesson I am on. I gotta see if they are still selling them for 2012, and if so, I’ll let you all know.
I also do Morning Pages every morning – 3 pages hand-written journaling on paper (so not on the computer, not blogging) which is an idea from Julia Cameron’s book The Artist Way. It’s a way to get focused and centered – to bring all the energies back to center, to turn away from the external world and to seek to hear the Voice for God in stillness.
I use the journal and quiet time to practice the instruction from Chapter 30 Rules for Decision to not make any decisions alone without consulting with my Advisor and to think about the kind of day I want, the feelings I would have, the things I want to happen to me, and the things I want to experience and then say:
IF I MAKE NO DECISIONS BY MYSELF,
THIS IS THE KIND OF DAY THAT WILL BE GIVEN ME.
I love it because it is the recognition that I AM NOT ALONE and that I have a Guide who is walking with me, doing everything for me, with me, removing all obstacles from my path if I let Him. He shows me which doors are open and which doors are closed. All I have to do is acknowledge Him and receive the help and support that is available to me.
There are times when I forget and I start my day without finding God first, without Morning Pages and those days are NOTICEABLY DIFFERENT than the days when I actively reach and find the vibration of gratitude, joy, peace and enthusiasm before my feet hit the floor.
Yes, enthusiasm.
It is possible to feel excitement and gratitude when you start your day.
It is possible to live in Christ-consciousness from this moment on.
For me, the vibration I actively seek is JOY. I make it my priority to go there as soon as I wake up, which is a real miracle, because I used to wake up and sigh and want to crawl back under the covers.
I’m not like that anymore.
I wake up and find the joy of God.
Often I have to get the coffee first, and then I’m able to find that vibration. haha, no joke. 
It wasn’t easy at first because my habit was to wake up and sigh and dread the day, so it did take some practice to train myself to feel happy. I learned it is do-able. And now it’s easy. I wake up and I’m excited because I get to spend time with God, and I know the day is going to be a great adventure, AND IT ALWAYS IS.
I love this poster:
Mooji is in Portugal teaching: STAY IN THE “I AM” VIBRATION.
I love that. That is such good advice.
“Before Abraham was, I AM.” -Jesus
Before all ideas of past, future and even now, I AM.
A Course in Miracles calls it: Above the battleground.
The Master Teacher, my teacher, expressed the same exact idea in this way: STAY IN LOVE.
He used to say: GET UP HERE.
Get up here in this vibration of God, of love. Get up here and STAY HERE.
Just stay in love – GET UP HERE – don’t drop back down into vibrations of confusion, doubt, anger, jealousy, grievances, conflict, pain, fear or suffering.
You can do it, because If I can do it, anyone can do it.
Keep your mind focused on God, and that’s the whole lesson.
Everything will be vying for you attention to pay attention to the world. A unexpected bill arrives, your crazymaker friend from the past suddenly shows up in your life, you lose a job, you lose a lover, a tooth breaks. The list of distractions is endless.
Once you have gone past the temptations of the “pains” of the world, the next test to pass is the list of pleasurable things designed to distract your focus away from God: becoming successful, desires, making money, achieving a dream or goal.
Those are just more distractions.
The place each of us must eventually reach (“this is a required course”) is to want to transcend all desire for a better life, a better world, a better you – to go beyond all ideas of trying to fix yourself or the world. To stop wanting to improve or change anything here.
Everything in life is leading you to the place where you finally can say with honesty: THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS WORLD I WANT. This world is just a place of pain and death – of passing pains and pleasures. I don’t want it. I don’t have time for games. I don’t have time for nonsense. I JUST WANT GOD, ALL THE TIME.
I’m outta here! See ya!
Now THAT is an amazing achievement – to reach a place where all you want is to live in the peace and joy of God, to not engage in conflict anymore, to make a decision to rise above the battleground AND STAY THERE, to not be tempted by anything or anyone. To align your mind with God and be in a constant state of gratitude and appreciation.
IF YOU MUST HAVE A GOAL, THAT’S A GOOD ONE!
To live in constant state of God and gratitude.
To suddenly realize there is nothing in the world you want, nothing you need, nothing that can add to your happiness.
That is a huge accomplishment: To stop wanting to mix God and the world – to stop wanting to make the world a more peaceful happy place.
TO REALIZE EVERYTHING YOU WANT IS NOT IN THIS WORLD, BUT IT IS HERE AND NOW AND YOU CAN GO THERE, RIGHT NOW, and live there forever, never experiencing pain ever again.
There is no meeting place between the world and Heaven – the two worlds do not mix.
A lot of people when they first start out (ahem, when I say “most people” I mean me) – okay, let me start that over, When I first started out on a spiritual path, my desire was to bring more harmony and miracles into my life.
I wanted to use God to have a better human life.
I didn’t know any better so I prayed, did the work, and lots of cool things happened. Except a curious thing I noticed .. even though miracles were occurring, I still was always fearful. I was still depressed (except when a “miracle” arrived and then I would be happy for a day or a week but then I would always drop back down into fear and sadness again – I was incapable of staying in a place of constancy and consistent joy)
It seemed like the only time I thought about God was when I needed his help with something.
So one day, a real miracle happened: I DECIDED TO PUT TWO and TWO TOGETHER!!!
I realized I’d been wrong all along. I didn’t have a clue what miracles were. It was a very humbling moment, but also very exciting. Kinda like the Grinch who stole Christmas in that final scene when he realizes all the material things in the world DO NOT bring joy.
And that’s what happens in life, or on a spiritual path. You suddenly have a realization that life doesn’t come from a store (or a relationship, or a job, or money or things of the world). You realize that “Maybe life, perhaps … means a little bit more!”and then your heart grows 3 sizes that day!
So I am excited that Mooji is teaching: STAY IN THE “I AM” VIBRATION.
THANK YOU.
I am in.
Count me in.
I am done with all desires to improve my life or the human condition or the world. There is nothing I want or need here. I know where joy is, and that’s where I AM. That’s where you can find me: living in the heart of God.
Today is a day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two, but take a firm position with the One. We dedicate ourselves to truth today, and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else, we will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is, and take the part assigned to us by God.
How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today, and take our stand with certainty of purpose, and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing that they were but mistakes.
The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic, nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability, because they know their function will be filled completely, in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will take today, that we may share their certainty, and thus increase it by accepting it ourselves.
They will be with us; all who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain, too, will join with us, and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the call we heard, and answer it, when they have come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves today.
Is it not worth five minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize your special function here? Is not five minutes of the hour but a small request to make in terms of a reward so great it has no measure? You have made a thousand losing bargains at the least.
Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from pain of every kind, and joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose, with the promise of complete success. And since time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot lose. And what you gain is limitless indeed!
Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today’s idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words will join with yours, and make each repetition of today’s idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His in you.
His confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean.
Today you practice with Him, as you say:
“I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.”
In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the world today.
Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts, His answer to your words. He will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace.
Throughout the hour, let your time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today’s idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time to come.
And when the hour is gone, and He is there once more to spend a little time with you be thankful, and lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part which He would have you take, and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you and you with Him.
Christ, you lead me from darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me (THANK YOU!) to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.
Amen.
I’m doing my Zumba certification on Saturday, December 3rd to become an instructor – WOOHOOO – which gives me one month to get in shape. So here is my advice to myself for the month of November.

i’ll be on Paltalk today at 12noon EST for one hour.
http://www.onemindfdn.org/acimgather.htm
or http://www.paltalk.com the room is ACIM GATHER
MY topic for today came as a joke on facebook in form of a comment from my friend Neil McGregor
and for some reason, this really made me laugh. I can’t remember the original topic or why it got posted, and honestly, I don’t even know what it means – but it made me laugh and that got me thinking about it and it’s really true: IF GOD WERE A MAN …. the operative word being IF … IF God were a man, IF, he would be breaking all hearts, but see, God is NOT a man.
Only humans break hearts. Only humans hurt others. Only people who believe in the separation do cruel & harmful things to one another.
God as love knows only love … therefore gives only love. He doesn’t hurt anyone. He doesn’t judge. He doesn’t break hearts. He doesn’t hold himself back. He doesn’t wish for bad things to happen to people so they can learn a lesson. He doesn’t gossip or spread rumors about people in the hope they never find love again, hoping they stay sad and lonely and alone (because loneliness loves a crowd!)
God only loves. God only gives. He wants everyone to be happy and loved.
And so it is for anyone who accepted the Atonement. You become what God is – only love.
Once you have accepted your identity in God, harm becomes impossible. You wouldn’t dream of breaking someone’s heart.
As part of God’s Mind, you can neither harm nor be harmed. You only love. You only appreciate. You live life in joy and gratitude because YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE.
Suddenly grace descends upon you – and there is gentleness, and generosity and honesty, patience and faithfulness and open-mindedness
Your whole being changes, and that’s the transformation.
All your old ways of hurting your brother, being dishonest, holding back in fear, not trusting disappear.
I’m going to talking about this topic today at 12 noon EST on Paltalk.com, reading about the characteristics of a Teacher of God in the Teacher’s Manual from the section on Trust.
Hope to see you there
Love, Lisa
People want to know what I do, what’s my job? and sometimes that question gets a little tricky because I think what they really want to know is “how do you make money?”
I tell people “I am an author and spiritual teacher” because it’s easy to say, people understand it, and immediately – almost 100% percent of the time – it’s gets people talking about God, which is my all-time favorite subject.
Yes, I know …. I am very sneaky. I KNOW, I KNOW, I KNOW. I admit it. You gotta watch out for me. I just don’t want to waste any time on idle chit-chat.
I like to cut to the chase.
You should see the reactions I get. It’s so great. Everyone perks up. Everyone stops in their tracks and in that moment I’ve got their full undivided attention and focus (i have to be honest, this still surprises me, people actually go blank, wide-eyed with curiosity). Usually the response is: “REALLY? WHAT?” It’s like I’ve disrupted their mind for a second. Then the questions start and the conversations are always interesting.
What do I do? I encourage people to have a relationship with God. It’s the #1 “thing I do.”
I remind people who they are, who they really are beyond their stories, and I help them to know they have a Guide within them who will help them with every aspect of their life.
But my real job – my function - is not author or teacher. Those are my like hobbies, things I love to do – I love writing and teaching and helping people and talking about God. I do those things because I love them and it makes me happy to do them. Pure playtime.
THERE IT IS, PLAIN AND SIMPLE. I love it. That’s soooooo easy to do! Bring Heaven to the world, my goodness, my God, is that all?? Is that all I have to do?
I love it. It is the easiest (and most fun!) job in the world to appreciate someone and make them happy. This is how healing is accomplished. This is how the energy starts to flow again, and all problems disappear.
I HAVE THE FUNCTION OF BRINGING LIGHT TO DARKNESS.
And let’s face it, if you’re reading this blog, that’s your function also. It’s the simplest easiest thing to do because it is what you are.
What does Jesus say: YOU ARE THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD.
Somewhere along the way in my life, I had to make a conscious deliberate decision to let sadness, guilt, depression, confusion, doubt and negativity go – and do what Jesus is asking – be the light.
I’m not the light of the world while I’m being dark.
Jesus says: “put your toys away.” -A Course in Miracles
A lot of people think emotions are real (they’re not! they’re toys!) and that you have to pay attention to them (you don’t! put them away!)
I used to believe in the lie of “process of transformation” and “I’m not there yet but I’m working on it” and those are just my own delay tactics I employ to keep myself small and in the dark, in victim mode.
Somewhere, I said THAT’S ENOUGH OF THAT NONSENSE. Enough with depression. Enough with sadness. Those are child’s games. Enough with complaining and negativity. Enough with doubt. I am responsible to Jesus and he’s counting on me. I’m not powerless. Emotions cannot rule me and they cannot rule my life, and they don’t.
Emotions can’t determine how I feel.
I choose & determine how I feel, and I am determined to praise God and be happy, living in appreciation and gratitude.
This is available to everyone. There is no need to suffer or be sad, none.
On David Hawkins scale (you can read the blog post HERE) you decide what your bottom is, how low do you go? Mine is 540 – Joy. It’s as low as I go.
You can make decisions like this. You can say, “I’m done with complaining and negativity and guilt and conflict. Joy and appreciation are how I choose to live my life now.”
And when people say it can’t be done, turn around say “WATCH ME.”
Hi there -
I just found out that the donation button that has been up on my website for god knows how long has been sending money to an old email address from 2004 that I have not used for years, and that paypal account had never been activated or in service. This is my mistake.
Sooooooooo ….. if you sent me a donation and I did not thank you for it – MY SINCERE APOLOGIES TO YOU and THANK YOU – All the notices were being sent to an old email address that I haven’t accessed in years.
Only yesterday when someone told me they sent me a donation and I had not received notification did I realize that something was not working right.
So if you sent me money in support of this website and audios, first of all
A BIG GIGANTIC THANK YOU!!!
Secondly I contacted customer service over there at Paypal and they said if anyone sent money to the wrong account (thanks to my mistake), here’s the steps you can take.
go to your paypal account under History (or Payments Sent) and see if some of the payments to me are unclaimed. If so, cancel the payment and the money will be returned to your paypal account.
Should you have further inquiries, please do not hesitate to call us at Paypal 402-935-2050 or 888-221-1161 during these hours:
4:00 AM PT to 10:00 PM PT, Monday–Friday
6:00 AM PT to 8:00 PM PT, Saturday and Sunday
If you sent a donation more than 30-days ago it would have been automatically returned to your paypal account or to your credit card – however you sent it.
My correct paypal account email is lisa_natoli@yahoo.com and I have fixed everything on my website.
Again, thank you.
All my love.
Lisa
From the book The Vortex by Esther and Jerry Hicks, brilliant advice:
“Most people would deem it unwise to load a big clumsy truck, which has a very bad suspension system and steering mechanism so worn-out that it is almost impossible to keep the truck on the road, with their most precious cargo. Or, most people would deem it unwise to gather a load of precious glass antiques and put them in the carrying basket of the bicycle that their five-year old son is taking on his first bicycle ride today. Or, most people would deem it unwise to carry a sack containing their life’s saving and all their favorite jewelry and then walk out onto the iced-over lake before they were sure that the ice was actually strong enough to hold their weight.
“In other words, it always makes sense to find first fundamental stability before embarking on any journey, especially those journeys that matter most to you. And yet, as people interact with one another on important subjects, they commonly plunge headlong into conversations and decisions and behaviors before they have achieved any true stability, and then the return to stability is often very long in coming. And often, once out of balance, they stumble into the next and the next and the next and the next out-of-control experience.
“It is our desire to help you remember the art of alignment first – then action.
Alignment first – then conversation.
Alignment first – then interaction.
Alignment first – then anything else.”
