Absorb-va-tion

Absorb-va-tion

            What happens when you decide to go some place for the day or the night to “get away from it all”? What is happening in your mind? When you go to an amusement park for example, you are preparing yourself to be amused, to let go and be a child again, to forget your worries for awhile. Most of the other people are there for the same reason, to have fun! The energy all around you is high with excitement. People are running, smiling, laughing. You can let go and let a ride take you for a spin of excitement, you can refresh yourself with a swim or just sit back and watch the activities around you. It feels good to be in an atmosphere where you know you are going to experience fun. Your body as well as your mind (if you so choose) are absorbing this energy. Usually by the end of your “get away” you are tired; but you are usually relaxed, you sleep well because you allowed yourself to let go for awhile. Being in an energy field that you enjoy helps your body, mind and soul. Some people may find this feeling out in nature, others may find it on the dance floor, while others may find it in a place of worship. Where ever it is that you allow yourself to let go and be amused or be fulfilled in some way, you are absorbing good energy.

            Now think of what happens when you are some place where the energy is negative. You witness someone arguing or a fight breaking out. You become uneasy. You tense up. Some people can even feel it when they enter into an atmosphere before they even see or hear the negativity. It is because the energy that is being sent out is not in alignment with love or with God. Your body is also absorbing this energy. You may start to sense a feeling of anxiousness or nervousness. What about if this negativity is happening to you? How are you feeling then? If someone is angry with you and directing their anger toward you, it is felt in your body. You absorb it also.

            Before we enter into any new place we look around, we observe what is going on and our awareness is high. We listen to what is being said or how things are being said. We look at expressions on people’s faces. By observing things, we know whether we would feel comfortable in the new place and if we would accept being there.

            Now let’s think about doing the same thing where ever we go, but turn inward and tune into your feelings. Have absorb-va-tion. Know that if something or someone does not feel comfortable, then the energy is not in direct alignment with God or with love. Do you want to absorb this kind of energy? Ask yourself these questions? After I am with someone who is negative or who makes me feel negative, does this help my body, my mind and my soul? When I am in a situation again and again that I do not like, why am I feeling down, tired, discouraged, or anxious? It is due to absorbing the negativity. Think about these situations, be aware of when this is happening and feel what it is doing to you.

LOVE AND FEAR

LOVE AND FEAR      

In truth I realize the fear that overtakes my body and my mind, pulling me and ripping me apart. Stripping my core beliefs to make me re-examine this life, my truth at this time. Fear is a part of the ego-apart from love. It takes on a breath, a flowing, and a power of its own. The more energy and attention it is given, the more it will grow and evolve.

I notice the fear not only in my own life, but in the lives of others. The power of the ego as it connects and entraps everyone’s life. “Must”, “Should” become common every day words in people’s sentences, lives- a driving force from the ego, from the fear. Why must we embrace this fear, this ego? It only brings us emptiness, leads us away from God, from love. We can look at it and know the truth. Love is the only real everlasting energy in the entire universe. It is true, truth will set you free. It is the purest essence of God, all knowing, infinite.

 LOVE and FEAR are both four letter words; short, easy to say, easy to write but complete opposites. Just looking at each word individually brings up different energy vibrations within the body. Fear brings anxiety, an emptiness of being, of wanting-never getting enough. This is what hell feels like-never being satisfied with what is here and now, the cup is always half empty.

Love brings a sense of peace, beauty, solitude and fulfillment. The cup is overflowing, the heart is reflecting light, and God is here.

Remember this for yourself:

TODAY MY TRUTH WILL BE TO FOCUS ON LOVE. LOVE IS GOD. GOD IS LOVE. THIS IS TRULY THE ESSENCE OF MY BEING. THIS IS MY TRUTH, MY LOVE, AND MY LIFE.

How Green is Your Valley?

How Green Is Your Valley?

            You are walking out through a wide and long meadow when you come upon something that stirs your imagination and your soul to the very core. This picture is so grand, so intensely extreme that it takes your breath away.  The overpowering strength of the force of its nature draws you closer to get a better view.

           

            Picture in your mind some high rugged mountains, where steep rocks strive to retain the outlying edges. These mountains rest across a blue sky where only wisps of clouds dare to envelope the peaks. Resting tranquilly through the middle of these mountains is a deep green valley. How odd the valley looks from a distance inside this steep jagged surface. Still something beckons you closer to feel the full effect.

            As you get closer you hear trickling water, singing birds, see many butterflies and hear the humming of bees. That’s when you notice the exuberance of what you have stumbled into. In this deep green valley running smoothly through these high rugged mountains, a small stream feeds the lush green valley from a ravine running down the middle of the mountains. Half way up on the other side of the mountain you notice a clear, deep blue, abundantly flowing waterfall. Now you feel a sense of peace come over you as you move closer noticing the lavishness of this deep green valley. You blissfully surrender to your surroundings as you become one with this natural scene. You are part of the lush green grass, the meadow, the flowers, and the gratefulness of the song-filled birds. You become so transfixed on the tranquility that you no longer see the ruggedness of the mountains. They are all just a part of the surroundings, but they are not at the heart of what lies inside.

            Now envision this: Think of the rugged mountains as life’s challenges or obstacles you come across. The deep green valley is the heart of you. The waterfall represents God/Universal Source. It seems that sometimes in our lives, we only see the rugged mountains. We forget to experience and refresh ourselves under the waterfall that is always available to us. We forget to go within in prayer or meditation and let God wash over and cleanse our struggling hearts and minds.

            The color green is associated with the heart chakra. The heart chakra is the energy flowing in the center of our chest. When we go through too many struggles in our lives and our heart chakra is out of balance, we may experience difficulty in relationships. We may attempt to depend on someone else for our happiness and feel a lack of self discipline. To balance this feeling, breathe in God’s love, create something, go into nature and feel the balance of life around you. Give, donate, share something with someone and expect nothing in return. By doing this you release the emotionally suppressed trauma you have held in your heart. Your expression is one of love in action. It will create in you a limitless compassion filling your heart with empathy and most important forgiveness. The act of forgiving yourself for holding on to something that did not bring you a sense of peace will make an emerald lotus cross in your heart chakra emit a bright shining light. This bright shining light dwelling in your heart will pull the imminence of love and peace to you. You will know you are never alone. Breathe in the God light, bring in the lushness, the emerald peace into your heart.  Release, relax and let go of the past. God is with you now, God is with you always. Rugged times may come again and when they do, ask yourself, how deep and green is your valley?

Time changes, human changes?

          It seems like everything is changing  in this world. People are not as trusting as they used to be. The consciousness is going to fear, dread, helplessness and hopelessness. Why not embrace bliss, love, trust and gratefulness?
          I grew up in the 60s and 70s. I was comfortable in the 60s as I was very young, protected from the influences from the outside world. I had my own world with my animals and the countryside. Then in the late 60s and early 70s, I began to notice a change. There were wars being fought, riots taking place. My parents talked about the hippies and not understanding them. I saw them as free spirits. I took my parents thoughts into consideration; but I was amazed that there were people out there who were willing to "walk their own walk, talk their own talk". These people, well many of them, wanted to live in a world of freedom, love and bliss. I probably would have joined them had I been older at the time. Instead I was only allowed to watch The Brady Bunch, The Partridge Family, but I also listened to my dads albums of Nat King Cole and enjoyed music by The Jacksons. Times were changing, but people were still trusting, kind to each other (at least the majority of the time). We had our yards and neighbors and a handshake meant "hello to a kindred spirit".  We left our doors unlocked at night and were not afraid to stop  and help someone who was stranded on the road. We opened doors for people who had their hands full and did not think twice about helping someone out if we saw they needed it. 
             The 80s came and it was still a very cool time period. People had fun, were friendly still, but we started to get more and more technology. We seemed to spend less and less time with people communicating, having fun, shaking hands or lending a helping hand. Still the "feel" was good. The music fascinating and life flowed. People started looking at all people as becoming "united" and embraced people of all colors. This was a start into collective consciousness for the better and it felt good.
            The 90s seemed to change more still on a technological level. There was more of it, more of what people should do, should have, should be. Too many shoulds. We're always "shoulding" on ourselves. There were so many actors and musicians that flowed into the mainstream, it was hard to keep up with them all. People continued to believe that what these actors or musicians have, do, say is what is important. Media influenced people a lot and with that influence a lot of people became mean. Disrespectful, distrusting, not as many shows during the late 90s had positive influences  or stories to them anymore; at least in my opinion.  Was I just viewing from another perspective of my life as I grew up, had a family and worried about them or were people and times changing due to technology and media?
            As we entered the new millennium, more and more movies became more violent, more horror filled and stuck with "the bad reality" of the world. It was cool to people to be bad, be disrespectful and not caring anymore. It is even noticeable in relationships with people that you may consider befriending who is acting edgy around you. You offer them kindness and they wonder what you want from them. Cra-zy and sad also!
            What happened world? What happened to hu-man-ness? Under The Free Dictionary online human as an adjective is described below:

human [ˈhjuːmən]

adj

1. of, characterizing, or relating to man and mankind human nature

2. consisting of people the human race a human chain

3. having the attributes of man as opposed to animals, divine beings, or machines human failings

4.

a.  kind or considerate

b.  natural

 

            My question is this? Under #4, "kind or considerate", "natural"?  What happened to this race of humans that I grew up knowing? Has technology led us to become inconsiderate, nasty and un-natural from what we truly are? Why is everyone in such a hurry, so distrustful, so disturbed? Why is everyone focusing on what they don't have instead of being grateful for what they do have? Why are people being angry over a cellphone or so tied to an electronic device that they cannot look into the eyes of the person they are sitting with and have a conversation? Is it worth it to our human race to become like robots and tied down to technology?  We are becoming human doings so much that we forgot how to be human beings. I know it does have it good and bad points. You are reading this now because of technology. We can speak and become friends with people in another time zone and across the world.

              My main point is to take a break from technology, a couple of hours a day, one day a week, one week a month...just be; with your friends, with your family. Remember what it is like to touch the earth with your bare feet. Remember what it is to feel the wind blowing through your hair without clutching your cellphone to your ear. Stop and just be........without technology. Get back into touch with Spirit/Universal Life Forcet. Get back into touch and energy with those around you. First in your household, then in your neighborhood and finally send your energy out, out, out into the world. Touch others with your spirit, not your technology. It gives a much freer, open and loving spirit when it is given as well as received. I guess it reminds me of the love of the 60s and 70s......a time of simplicity, kindness and love. It all boils down to getting back to love. Uniting with kindred spirits, touching souls, coming back to what we truly are.

Until we meet again......Namaste' Timelesssoul1
