Re: Sick pet? Owner's problem

Melinda Fawver
 

Vilik Rapheles said:
. . . There is a psychic here who says pets always reflect the concerns of
their owners. She doesn't even deal directly with the pets, just with the
owners. Sick pet? Owner's problem. . . .
Well . . . here are a couple of examples maybe?

A sidetrack first. A few months ago my neighbor's rotting tree fell on the
corner of my house and took out my phone, electricity and cable (YEP! I had
been worrying about this exact thing happening!) The tree had been dead for
at least six years, the bark was off, the base chewed up by termites. I
actually remember standing next to the tree and picturing the trajectory of
the fall to see where it would hit the house. About a week later, the tree
DID FALL in a light rain, no wind. (I had been told it would be removed
SOON.)

I believe that pets reflect the owner's problems. I have two cats.
I handled the tree incident pretty calmly . . . I thought. No yelling or
crying or anything, but my cats didn't fare so well. Both were regurgitating
every day or so for a week when they normally NEVER do this and haven't done
it for months since. I figure they were expressing my feeling that I was a
bit "sick to my stomach" about the whole thing.

Another example.
I quit smoking cold turkey a couple of weeks ago on a Friday night. Just as
I was going to sleep, my white cat Geoffrey jumped up on the bed with a
sneezing fit. He sneezed throughout the night and then whatever he had moved
into his lungs and he coughed and wheezed for a few days . . . never
affecting his appetite or energy level . . . very odd indeed.
P.S. I personally haven't been sick in a very long time.

Dear Susan,

Okay...I surrender! (Laughing!) It seems you are NOT going to talk about
your own life.

I had a reason for asking you, specifically, about your life. In my time
here there have been a few people who seem to really "get it and live it"
and still hang around to interact on the lists. I know something about them
personally, in that they have talked about their own process and their own
lives. This makes it easier for me to relate to what they have to say. When
you arrive on the list and express yourself from a place of "being there"
and wanting to advise others, actually wanting to cry for others, I just
want to know a little more about you. So that I can really grok who you
are. It would be much more helpful to me, personally, than, say, crying...

However, our dear friend Law of Allowing, one of main teachers at the
moment, allows me to allow you to be who you are and how you are. And that
feels so darned good!

I am very interested in your 90 day program, as you describe it below, and
have emailed you privately about it. Sounds great. I would like to write
and visualize more. Let me at it!

Hey Green! (again :)
Cool! I feel good that I helped.

As a matter of fact, I saved the sight

Hey Green!
(scroll down :)
These last fifteen words of the paragraph
above
are the heart of the article
for me, and I wonder if they might well be
true,
that spirit and energy are
one and the same, having both a physical and a
spiritual component, and this
fact -- if it IS a fact -- having been lost by
modern mainstream humanity.

Spirit?

No, I haven't, but I'd definitely like to and
will make a special effort to
find it. Thanks! :-)) It sounds VERY
interesting!

I think you'd like it. It talks
a lot about the co-existing physical
and non-physical aspect of
everything...down to quantum stuff!
It also says somewhere in there
that the universe is light..and matter
is light slowed down a tad.
=====

Yes, and when you (not YOU, of course :-))
"deconstruct" matter, as is
done in fission explosions, great amounts of
electromagnetic energy are
released, including the part of the
electromagnetic spectrum we know as
light.


I believe we're definitely dealing with a Unity
here, of which we are a
part. My my my, how far we've come...

Thank you Sandy, I so much appreciate your

Re: Details of Creating (Formerly, Outrageous...)

Trixi Summers
 

Hi Vilik!

I think that to put this all in a nutshell (as Abraham does so often) it is all
about just following your bliss! This statement SAYS IT ALL. For you see once
you get it - REALLY GET IT - it's all just so simple. You look back and say -
why did I not see this before?

The answer to all your questions lies here. ASK! ASK for what you want! It
is ALWAYS GIVEN, ALWAYS! ASK ASK ASK ASK ASK! You can not get it wrong EVER!
Ask - get - re ask - get - re ask - get more!

If you just intend to be happy through ALL OF IT & ALLOW IT - the answers will
flood your being. AND you have fun through it all and it becomes a game
instead of "homework"!

Now I know this sounds simple and to those of us who have been here and there
say BUT HOW? BUT HOW? BUT HOW DO I DO THIS? Someone needs to tell me all the
steps. I am confused. There are so many things to remember!

You do it one step at a time and enjoy each step along the way all the while
keeping your eye on your goal. Your goal of Ecstasy, pure joy, happiness
through it all.

This list and Abraham and many many others have all helped me to see who I
really am. How powerful and beautiful I AM from the inside. Once I got this
the rest just fell into place.

So thank you for asking the questions - I am always learning more and I find
that I learn more as I type my perspective for others to read. I treasure the
moments that I can give back as I have received!

Love, Trixi

Dear Susan,

Thank your for your response. It sounds like you are indeed living,
breathing, eating, sleeping, the principles of conscious creation.

I would really like to hear how different people are doing that. I love
how Abe works with real people and real situations. The examples are, at
least to me, so much more helpful than just the theory. And oftentimes,
when people speak of their experience, it can be just a small phrase or
description of how they did something that makes all the difference. For
instance, when someone (Ted...was that you?) talked about the artist he
met, who has created such a wonderful life, he described how the artist had
started to feel and live his idea experience. I can't remember the exact
words, but it painted a word-picture than conveyed the feeling of it.

Would you be willing to talk more about what IS, experientially,
concretely, in your life? What your joy is ? What you mean by "outrageous"?
Is it going beyond expected boundaries? Taking risks? Doing the
unconventional? What dream of your heart have you followed that
looked/looks outrageous? How do you apply the principles on a day-by-day
and moment-by-moment basis? Can you give a few examples, step-by-step, of
how you have applied the laws of creation in particular situations? What
have you created in your life that you desired? How is your life "drenched
in love"...what does that look like? How does a day in your life unfold? On
a practical level what do you do to integrate the ideas into your life?

Actually, I would love to hear that from everyone and anyone who wants
to respond!

ans to Valik on evidence and stuff

Susan James
 

Dear Valik ,

You mentioned in your message for others to respond and there are many
folks here who have done
wonderful creating in their lives, and I will not overstay my welcome in
this moment.

I will offer you this as well.....and since it is free, I dont think David
will mind.
I began a 90 day manifesting program, as an off shoot of something else
that I do.
We are up to part 25.....
and this contains many stories of how others have manifested stuff
deliberatly in their lives.

However....you must know....that the main emphasis of this
program,......even to folks unaware of
Abe....are the basic Abe principles.....which are....change your
vibration......
and you do that by.....
"writing"
"verbalization"
"visualization"

Are you Valik, practicing any of this on a consistent and regular basis?
Just curious....so that I know from where you stand.

And anyone else thats wants copies of this stuff, just PEM me.....and you
will have to be
patient in my sending the stuff.....AND you will have to remind me to send
it to you and yada,
cause its a lot of stuff !! and it is all YUMMY !!!

Love Susan

Thin Red Line (and Overpopulation of Deer)

Ted Black
 

Thanks, Nancy, for your wonderful explanation of the situation regarding the
overpopulation of deer. It may be difficult to understand, but clearly the
Universe seems to allow every possibility including foolishness and war. I
don't claim to understand it, but my soul catches glimpses of the beauty.

An extraordinary movie called "The Thin Red Line" explores these themes in a
most beautiful and unusual way. I can't recommend the movie because it
focuses on re-creating the reality of war, and is therefore extremely
violent at times. However, if one has the stomach for these things or if
you can focus on other aspects of the movie, it reveals the spiritual
possibility that all of it--all of the beauty and ugliness of life and
death, wisdom and foolishness--is God, soul, spirit dancing, growing,
creating, exploring, learning, and adding unto all that is. The narration
of the film is highly unusual, poetic, amazing. It has had a profoundly
positive effect on me, even though the subject is extremely negative.
Somehow I passed all the way through the negative and discovered something
beautiful on the other side.

Love,
Ted

Thanks Ted - I think my quandry is that my Michigan Metro Park Resource
people didn't do the ecological resolution several years back. These
professionals should of (I know should of is judgemental but bear with
me! LOL) been projecting and trying to ease the deer population much
early.

It's almost like these professionals were snoozing for the past several
years then woke up a few months ago and said, "Wow, we need to do
something about this huge deer population."

This has all come about because all of a sudden the professionals were
noticing all the wildflowers and plants were being eaten out of
existence. And they chose to focus on the plants rather than the deer.

I totally agree with you that the deer population would be in harmony
if man didn't affect the ecosystem (here in Michigan there is a huge
hunting contigency who demands to be able to kill deer each and every
year - so much like demand and supply, the deer oblige all these
hunters)

As you can tell I'm not of the hunter mindframe and since my post to
the list, I'm trying to focus on all involved in the ecosystem of our
Metro parks to live in harmony with another - trying not to read the
papers talking about the culling of several hundred deer - and finally
trying to envision those beautiful and noble creatures becoming deer
again in a place where they can run free and happy.

The joke is that these professionals are doing exactly what they
shouldn't - those deer left alive will thrive to make up for those that
were mechanically killed. Again supply and demand.

The interest thing was that conversationists against this plan offered
non-lethal plant sprays to be sprayed on the plants that the deer would
find awful to eat leading them to the grasses and others in the woods of
the park. And others suggested tanquilizing the deer and moving them up
North. There were several viable options.

The professionals didn't even consider them. To thme it's just easier
to have a killing spree which supremely pleases the hunters who now will
get two opportunities to kill deer.

Oh well, in a perfect world...

I've got to go and refocus - thanks for your suggestions. Love and
Hugz, Nancy

Well, I would start by focusing on what you *do* want--like an
ecological
system that is harmonious and in balance and just the right amount of
deer
for the area.

In nature, deer die by the hundreds all the time--from starvation and
predators as a way of keeping the deer population in balance--so death
cannot be as bad as we are making it out to be. Death is as much a
part of
life as birth is. I know this doesn't sound very optimistic or
positive,
but I think that God's extraordinary wisdom can be trusted.

Love,
Ted

**Posted to all Joyous Deliberate Creators**

Hi beloved family! happy friday!

Here's what I need help on - we have some metro parks that have
allowed
the deer population to explode so now they are planning on destroying
several hundred.

I am very tenderhearted when it comes to animals and have heard
Esther
and
Abe talk about how animals are such pure spirits that they re-emerge
immediately into non-physical and are "recycled" again into another
animal
but (you knew there would be a but)

the thought of several hundred of bucks, does and fawns being killed
saddens me to no end.

Does anyone have more info about what Abe says about animals and when
they
die? Please post it.

I just need a little more "good news" to help me center this.

Love and Hugz, everyone have a glorious weekend!!! Nanc

Re: Details of Creating (Formerly, Outrageous...)

Janelle Kleppin
 

I echo Velik's sentiments. I'm still enough of a newbie to benefit greatly
from concrete examples. I adore the diaphanous wordage -- but I sometimes
feel a bit Abe-retarded when I don't "get" it all the time.

Y'all are the greatest group of teachers I've ever come across, by the
way -- I read every word with relish and find mind treasures in nearly
everything, so thank you everyone.

With much appreciation, Janelle

Re: What is Abraham's message?

 

david,
yes, I only intended it for you. (this feels like my coming out party.)
reason: shy perhaps. on stage i am secure confident. am surprised when my
"secret self" is accepted and appreciated! several years ago i redefined my
reality and home which is down deep in the center of a rose becoming the
velvet, the fragrance, the peace, the smiles, the beauty, the divine life
energy.
Abe and the prior list have been, ah, my light, laughter, inspiration for
some time. as a lurker. I must work or plork with that time thing. I am not
adept with mc and have had trouble with MIME, downloading, naming, retrieving
files, so couldn't keep up with threads as well as i wanted. now, wow, i've
been walking on clouds, excited, adoring everything, everyone, learning,
learning, laughing with delirious delight with new list server! Thank you
for your wisdom n all your wonderfullness.

i have been, am, a performing artist. for 17 years gave one woman broadway
musical condensed shows. Abe's message could so easily be simply mame's
"LIVE!"

Visions

Vase appears,
of dynasty crust curve.
The vase and I are mask
in camouflage facade,.
The form explodes,
suspends in air.
Jagged pieces silhouette,
protecting eyes
from blinding white within.

Lotus bowl emerges,
held in outstretched arms
of Buddha, ancient old,
offering the glow.

Petals open wide,
revealing pool of
radiating, silver gold.

Small, athirst and eager ready,
I spring to center,
arms held high together,
to sink, submerge, to melt
in liquid cool of calm.
Hybrid ornaments of dross
dissolving off
in blissful disappear of loss,
as universal music sings
"Look with heart to soul,
Within."

and this, david, i send to you and all with love and appreciation, admiration
and awe.


answering Valik on Outrageous.

Susan James
 

Dear Valik.....,

What outrageous means to me:

1. No Human Logic applies here, about covers it.

2. But to be a little more specific:
I always follow my heart.......which looks outrageous to many, based on
the choices they see
me make.

3. I believe in Power of Love more than any thing or any one else.

4. Although, I can not see the Energy of Love I use it and know it as I
would a tool.

5. Although, I can not see the Energy of Love I trust it as much as this
chair that I know
I to go set in, is going to hold me.

6. I am being held by a force that is bigger and stronger and sweeter than
anything I have ever known.

7. How does this all transfer over into my real life......I have positive
momentum everywhere.
I have no pain...only sweetness in my life.

8. All that I consider to be good just flows to me........

That about covers it in a nutshell.

Love Susan

This or That?

Ted Black
 

From an article by Bernie Siegel, M.D., in the July 1999 edition of Readers
Digest:

The students of an enlightened monk walked up to him as he was
working in his garden and asked, "If you knew you had only 15 minutes
left to live, what would you do, Master?" The monk smiled, said "This"
and went back to his gardening.

I have spent most of my life doing "that" (what I thought I had to do)
instead of "this" (what my spirit delights in doing) because I thought if I
were smart enough or rich enough, *then* I would be able to devote more time
to "this." The truth is I cannot be smart enough or rich enough until I
consciously choose to live "this" right now--no matter what my
circumstances. I cannot choose to live from a continuous flow of joy until
I realize that I am pure consciousness (spirit) living and breathing in a
universe of infinite consciousness (spirit). Until I know this, I think I
am my mind and I think I am my body, and both tell me that I am weak and
limited and cut off from Source. Only pure consciousness (the spirit of me)
knows the truth--I am unlimited, powerful, whole, harmonious, perfect, and
complete. When I know this, the whole Universe gives way to the vibration,
the flow of spirit. My path then seems strewn with rose petals, and when I
say I will do "this" with the feeling of trust and knowing and pure love,
the Universe absolutely ensures that all conspires to lift me to my highest
good, enabling me to live "this and this and this" instead of "that" or
"this and that, this and that." And this is not to say that contrast will
disappear from my experience. Contrast is simply the background experience
that gives birth to new desire. However, when I absolutely know I am
forever bathed in grace (the flow of consciousness, spirit, joy), I
experience no resistance whatsoever to contrast. Resistance comes only from
the mind, from thinking I am my mind/body, that I am limited and weak and
somehow stuck in my contrast. Of course, resisting contrast only amplifies
it and strengthens its gravitational pull.

Choosing now to do this,
Ted

Passionate bodhisattvas who run kewl not hot

Paul Roberts
 

The other day, after I posted how I am a passionate bodhisattva here to
wake up myself and the world, Carol James asked me (respectfully indeed)
how one might do that gig without being a compulsive rescuer or neurotic
worldsaver type.

An excellent question.

I offered her a reply, and posted it here too. But today I remembered a
strong post (and thank you Connee for YOUR strong post....I like it like
THAT) which I sent to another list at the tail end of a little skirmish
started by some passionate bodhisattvas who happened to be militant
vegetarians.

I made a gentle, tho deliberate, remark about bible thumpin...which of
course goosed em real good. (grin) And of course, what with me being a
bible thumpin man for not a few years, and a preacher to boot, I know
whereof I squeak.

And then, while they were unrufflin their thumped tailfeathers, I slipped
in this wee bit of dharma...personal lessons learned along the way on this
particular question Carol so kindly pointed to.

Here it be...for what it's worth. Mebbe it'll be grist for your mill, or
another photo for your personal Scrapbook of Desire, you dolphin you.

And if it's too damn cryptic, I'll happily reply to all pem's.

Strong Vision and B I G L O V E,

NetPaul

====================================

First of all, lemme start by saying that I don't see any "us vs them" in
the recently concluded fun and frolic re animals, vegetables and (I believe
someone even mentioned) minerals. And just to recap my own involvement,
where I jumped into the tub was in my admittedly rascally post (and yeah, I
am rascally at times) re "bible thumping"a deliberate thrust into a
meta-discussiona perspective some others appropriated in their own ways,
in their own terms, as well.

And (I think it's good to say this) bible thumping by passionate
bodhisattvaspeople who care deeply about changing the mass reality for the
betteris not something THEY do. It's something WE (as a race) do. It's
something I door have donemany many times. I think such behavior is no
more limited to fundamentalists than it is to sethians, or urantians, or
ken wilber fans, or buddhists, capitalists or communists. I think it's a
meta-behavior of the race transcending the particularities of the issue at
hand.

And I think that regardless of the forum, the agenda, the particular
beliefs or POV's, the arc of the discussions become entirely, and (for me,
at this point in my life, depressinglyor sometimes merely annoyingly, or
worst of all maybe...boringly) orthogonal. People too often end up talking
AT each other, rather than WITH each other or even TO each other.
Paranoid perceptions manifest (s/he wants to nail me), bifurcations abound
(us vs them; we're right, they're wrong), downsizing and disparagement
diminishes the entire shebangwhether those thoughts and feelings are
couched in YCYOR (I create you as a pimple on my ass) or conventional
(you suck, you annoying fuckhead you) terms.

And while this IS a new-agey tub after all, and liberalism is the order of
the day, and YCYOR a foundational gospel truth, and we are now at the
unravelling/joking/moving on stage of the Great Vegetarian Debatewhile all
this may be true, I can assert with a reasonably high probability of being
perceptually accurate that in the recent goings on people got nasty pissed
at one another, and some perhaps are pissed still. I've seen it in the
posts here...and also in some barely oblique comments in the reality next
door.

Someone recently mentioned that understanding the detailed mechanics of
creation is her particular personal interest tho not necessarily that of
others, even perhaps others here. I have one or two personal (and not
necessarily globally shared) interests, too. One is finding better ways,
or at least other ways, perhaps more effective ways, for passionate
bodhisattvas to share their (our) vision with the world.

And just as my own personal journey on the pathless path began with a very
unpleasant push experience of a hard stick rather than the pleasant pull
promise of a sweet carrotso my impulse here originates (but does not end)
with my perception that balkanization is not simply something happening in
the Balkans, but in the global mind as well, whether viewed on the talking
head bashing of cable tv, in the shrill halls of academia, behind police
barricades in front of abortion clinics, or in what often descends into
flame-o-ramas on the net in forums such as these.

So here are two ideas (surely not the only two) for the potential to create
some alternate realities for those of us who might self-identify as
passionate bodhisattvasone taken from my observation of other dolphins who
(imo) are masters at this sort of work/play, and the other from my own
personal take as well as my personally and deliberately chosen field of
play (at this particular time):

-------------------------

Alternate reality 1: A Passionate Bodhisattva with a Hot Button Issue

Bodhisattvas with hot button issues are trying to change the world "bottom
up", to use a systems perspective. Instead of focusing on the entire
spectrum of human belief and manifestation, they are focusing on some
particular subset which they feel an impulse to address right now. In that
category I would surely put someone like our resident vegetarian
spokespeople, with their passionate intensity about alleviating the
suffering of animals.

Two modern examples of master players of the "bottom up" game come quickly
to mind: Ghandi, whose hot button issue was the self determination of his
country in the face of British colonialism, and Martin Luther King, who
took Ghandi as his primary model in his struggle for the civil rights of
American blacks. What both of these dolphins did that I find so
instructive, so useful, and so laudatory, is that they succeeded in putting
their vision of what SHOULD BE and COULD BE on the table over and over
without downsizing their opponents in one way or another.

My view (only mine) is that they were able to do this because they had
succeeded, by some means or other, in purging themselves of sufficient
shadow material so that when they presented their vision and their
challenge they could finesse the usual tendency for the mass reality to
crack and splinter into these negativity drenched bifurcations which are so
very common.

Just to dip into American history for a bit for contrast's sake, that's
exactly what DIDN'T happen post Civil War during the period called the
Reconstruction. The unexamined, unpurged shadow material of the northern
victors got such play that the sense of bifurcation continued to be a
dominant belief construct in the southern vanquished for well over a
centurythus (imo) slowing down the process of integration and creating
backlash contra creations such as the KKK, Jim Crow, etc. Lincoln (another
master dolphin in the same mold) took a bullet to the head, and thus his
vision for forgiveness, healing, bridge building was lost in the "we're
gonna get 'em" zeal of the radical reconstructionists.

As a society, we are still paying the price of that error today. (Not
necessarily a YCYOR perspective, but there it is anyway).

Alternate Reality #2: A Passionate Bodhisattva With An Primary Interest In
Global Consciousness Change

This is the one that rings my personal chimes. It is a "top down"
approach, rather than a "bottom up" one

I get this perspective from the understanding I have evolved to over
interaction with a number of my fave metaphysical sources...probably the
Tao Te Ching more than any other.

In a nutshell, the idea is this:

The natural state of the individual and the mass society is one of
effortless flowing with ATI, called here the Tao. In such a state of flow,
good stuff...right action...arises automatically. What we "learn", on the
other hand, all too often is a myriad of consciousness contraction stuff,
unconscious discrimination stuff, unconscious belief stuff, deliberately
implanted stuff on ethics, rightness, wrongness, a case hardened sense of
who we are and who we're notall things which restrict the simple flow of
Tao like hair restricts the flow of water in your bathtub drain.

Thus, the great work of deconstruction: getting the hairball out of the
drain (or the cat gullet, as the case may be).

This process of deconstruction leaves us freer and freer to simply manifest
our deepest impulses, with less and less contra-creating crap,
individuallyand corporately too.

Soa passionate bodhisattva operating from THAT modelthe top down one
which is concerned not with a subset of the spectrum of human beliefs and
actions, but the entire rainbowseeks by word, thought, interaction to
deconstruct, both in self and others, the entire contracted business...and
then the Tao flows wild and free, and ain't it a pretty thang, tho!

Below is the model for alternate reality #2 in Lao Tzu pithy terms. I may
have posted these before, but they're so on target in this context that
I'll take the chance and share em againno thumpin' thopromise. :o)

When the great Tao is forgotten,
goodness and piety appear.
When the body's intelligence declines,
cleverness and knowledge step forth.
When there is no peace in the family,
filial piety begins.
When the country falls into chaos,
patriotism is born.

------------------------------------------------------------------------


19

Throw away holiness and wisdom,
and people will be a hundred times happier.
Throw away morality and justice,
and people will do the right thing.
Throw away industry and profit,
and there won't be any thieves.

If these three aren't enough,
just stay at the center of the circle
and let all things take their course.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

3

If you overesteem great men,
people become powerless.
If you overvalue possessions,
people begin to steal.

The Master leads
by emptying people's minds
and filling their cores,
by weakening their ambition
and toughening their resolve.
He helps people lose everything
they know, everything they desire,
and creates confusion
in those who think that they know.

Practice not-doing,
and everything will fall into place.


Outrageous Thinking/Love Energy & Creating

Susan James
 

List:

Since I cant be a virgin twice here, I will begin in this way.

1.One of the first statements that I clung to when I first Abed was Be
Outrageous.
The sign is still on my computer screen.

2. What I have learned to do, is to combine Unlimited/Outrageous thinking
with Love Energy.

3. It is when You can STAND with your feet firmly on the ground and point
Love Energy
towards: it, things, people, circumstances that you change your world
and THE world.

4. It is the force that you send out, that then brings back to you all that
you desire for your life.

5. How do you get to that place where you can actually understand and use
that Love Energy
as a real tool.....?

6. First, you enjoy who YOU Are.....!

7. And the rest is down hill from there !

8. And for new folks...how do you begin ....? ABE ABE ABE ABE ABE !!!

9. And if you want to apply human logic to any of this, youd better back
up, and begin
again.

Love Susan

Hi, friends,

I just wrote one of the strongest statements I have ever made of
my belief in the current expansion of consciousness... and I want
to share my passion and joyous vision with you all.

I am saying, feeling passionately, gloriously and joyously, that
there is no longer any such thing as a "very predictable path"
when it applies to people who understand the Laws of the
Deliberate Creation. It is *not* possible now to tell someone
else what they can or cannot do, regardless of our personal
experience. There are some very extraordinary people living in
our world, who know right down to their soul that they are beings
of light. I am seeing miracles happening all around me every
day. Maybe all the statistics there are say that NO ONE has ever
transcended an alcoholic marriage situation and been able to
influence bringing the light through clearly enough in their
partner to create a happy marriage. I bet even that is not true,
the ones who do just don't make it into the statistics.

But more to the point, I don't care! Some one will be the first,
even if it has never happened ever before. Abe says statistics
are only evidence of the ways other people have flowed energy.
We are learning a whole new way to do life, and the old
predictable paths do not nessarily apply.

Of course, we get to choose to take on easy paths or hard ones.
But if someone has the courage and the love to choose a hard one,
who am I to say it cannot be done? I choose to add my energy to
any expansive vision of love I witness, with no expectation as to
the outcome. Because I don't care who creates the breakthrough.
I just know that everyone who sees the possibility adds to the
likelihood of the evolution of human consciousness into greater
joy.

And Abe says it is as easy to create a castle as a button. To
Abe there is no degree of hardness or easiness, just alignment
with the energy or not.

Our job as "healers" or "teachers" as I see it, is to have the
capacity to imagine anew. To be able in our thought to transcend
the old thinking, the old patterns, the old energy. To learn to
see health where there is illness, to see wholeness where there
is addiction, to see prosperity where there is poverty, to see
love where there is hate. It is the path of the Christ, the
Buddha.

This is an exciting area of growth for me. I know my job as a
"healer" is to hold a space, to create an opening into the field
of unlimited possibility, where healing can naturally occur from
within the person and the situation. Focusing on statistics, or
even my own experience of leaving an abusive marriage, does not
lend itself for me to have a "beginner's mind" on possibility. I
must focus on the infinite potential of God to create Itself anew
in any moment, within anyone, anywhere.

Who knows what we here on this list could do collectively, if we
could blow the limits off our thinking and allow love to flow
through us totally without conditions! I believe truly
unconditional love can and will transform the world in the next
10 years, revealing the true beauty that is already here, masked
only by the fears of our limiting beliefs. I believe we are
right on the edge of the greatest revolution in human
consciousness the world has seen in recorded history.

Thanks for listening to my excitement and joy. And apologies to
those on LOL who have seen this twice.

Love and cyberhugs,

Connee
