Re: Water, Rain, Thunderstorms, etc

 

Hi Jenna,

Well, pretty early on Esther was in the same place with water restrictions
and the like and she did 68 seconds on rain and it rained for several days
after that, filled up everything that needed filling up and it all started
the day after she did her thing.

Today we got rain about 15 miles south of our house. So it's getting
closer. I don't know if it's just me or not and if the dogs are just
reacting to me or not, but these past few days I have felt down right WEIRD,
stressed and tense and had a metallic taste in my mouth and it almost feels
like I'm chewing on aluminum foil. The dogs are all shedding up a storm and
are also acting just plain weird. Monday I felt like I had smoked pot all
night, I was mellow and just didn't care about time or the things I had to
do that day, and then Tuesday I started to get weird and it's, of course,
just built higher and higher since then. And then today I stepped on a wasp
nest or a hornets nest or something that looks like a dark bee with painful
stingers and started to go in to apholactic shock, and I used to do bee
sting therapy on dogs and people so this is like WAY out there in my
experience.

Is it just the drought or the planet retrograde thing or the eclipse or just
me? I've manifested the coolest little beach house, just 30 yards from the
beach for very little rent, available the time I wanted to go and it's a
Friday to Friday rental which is the ONLY one I found and is Ideal for what
I and my Mom need. And I manifested the GREATEST dog walker person for the
rest of the summer, then she goes back to college but I'll be able to take
that week off with no stress at canceling clients so I can save that for
another time. So things are bopping along very well in my life, I just feel
weird, like I'm chewing on aluminum foil or my spine is chewing on it,
anyone else have this going on? I have the first 4 day weekend off since I
started my business 20 months ago, which is AWESOME, so I'd really like to
get back to normal so I can enjoy it to the fullest.

Does anyone have any hints or anything? I've done more positive aspects,
more 68 seconding, more scripting than I've ever done in my life this past
week and I'm flying just feeling weird. :D

Thanks- Juls

Hey Juls! I wanna play!!


From: "Juls"

Anyone want to play with me?

I'll start. Rain, dancing in the rain,
...barefeet splashing in squishy grass
<grin> mud oozing in my toes

thunder
rolling thru the skies,
lightening blazing across the heavens,
.......electric sparks in my mind,
breath quickening, eyes grokking,
heart pounding

birds
preening and cleaning their
feathers,
......soft, peaceful comfort
sweetness inside

kids squealing in delight,

....bright yellow rain jackets <grin>
left indoors!!! Drenched locks of
hair and chasing frogs..

rainbows,
double rainbows that touch
the ground and seem to cover the whole sky,
.....The mind behind this beauty
untouchable, yet penetrating...
tastes like sweet tarts! LOL (not
skittles!!)

snuggling down in your bed
hearing the rain drops outside your window,
....MMMmm (can't resist!) Warm lover
in cool sheets...<WEG> hey! If
I'm gonna have it, I want it all!!
<many chuckles> AH..I AM enjoying this!


rain
falling on top of your
roof, the pitter patter of rain on the leaves, on
the roof, on your
windshield, on your face.

.....catching raindrops in my mouth

The wind picking up
speed and moving the trees
all about in graceful dances,

.....OOOoo beautiful song. Gentle
heartbeat, the smell of wet earth
and tree bark


driving without
your sunglasses on, the
mellowness of a rainy day with nothing to do,
.....hot chocolate rice dream!

yellow rain boots, yellow
slickers, big floppy yellow rain hats, splashing
in puddles, the smell of
worms,
....walking carefully on sidewalks!


gentle night storms when the rain lulls
you to sleep, and gently
awakens you in the morning,
.....sweetness of being safe in the
arms of Love/ATI...of Being


big black clouds
filled with rain arriving from
all directions,
.....a three hour tour, a three
hour tour...<giggles> sorry...starting
to feel silly...but that WAS the
image I got!


the ocean in the rain,

....lightening on the sea

white
caps, big waves, seagulls
calling out,
.....the ocean reaches out to meet
the rain...the gulls cry out her
ecstasy


the moment the sun peeks thru again,

......it's light dances inside
a drop of water. The drop glides
slowly, quietly down a deep green blade
of grass..the smell of warming
wet grass....

the cool cleanness of the
air
...that's it! That's the smell! >:)

Thanks Juls! This was fun!
Love,
Sandy

Re: I want to be happy

Sandy Cecil
 

Hey Paul!
I think what you're trying to
say is that being ADDICTED to happiness
is a pitfall. Right?

However, I don't think that strung out
crackheads, paranoid dictators nor
obsessed pedophiles do the things they
do out of an attempt at happiness (at
least, not consciously!)-
but in a clutching at control.

..crackhead approaching control from
knowing loss ...
...dictators aproaching control in
controlling others...
...pedophiles gaining control over
another to project their LOSS of
control onto the child....

IMO, Letting go of control is
freedom...is happiness! Surrendering
to ATI, Love, and life. Being.
Of course, the moment I clutch at
that surrender by trying to force
it, it's suffocated...until I let
go again. So, I learn eventually
what happiness, freedom, and Love is.
Ok, Ok. So, I've come full circle!
Either we are happy/in Love, or we are
learning what it isn't! So, we are
all striving towards happiness/Love,
whether we know it, or not.

<grin> What was the question?!
(shaking head at self) I need to
go to bed soon.
If happiness and freedom are
included in the broader definition
(perspective) of Love, then there is no
conflict. To be truly happy is to
be free.
Love,
Sandy >:)






So many people do so many things
because they
want to be happy...and not
all of them are of equal worth, imo.

Strung out crackheads snort crack
cause they want
to be happy.
Paranoid dictators do the ethnic
cleansing thing
cause they want to be
happy.
Obsessed pedophiles troll the net
cause they want
to be happy.

But I DO want to be happy too!

So how do I work / play with this
thing myself?
By realizing that the only
thing that REALLY can make me happy
is the
experience of being FREE.

For me, being FREE is both the
necessary and the
sufficient condition for
happiness. Everything else, it seems
to me, is
gravy.

When I am experiencing life as a FREE
being, life
is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. When
I fall asleep, or forget, or get
disconnected (or
whatever words you care
to use) life is not quite so
good...and sometimes
is quite "bad".

If life gets "bad", and that's where
I
concentrate all my remedial
efforts...sometimes life gets WORSE.

On the other hand, if life gets
"bad", and I
concentrate my remedial
efforts on getting FREE once again,
life
immediately gets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Is this abe-ish? I dunno!

But I do know that trading in FREE in
order to
get HAPPY would be a bad
deal for me at this point in my life.

Comments? Ideas? Thoughts?

Abe / ACIM Paradigm Clash and Resolution

Paul Roberts
 

Someone just mentioned the apparent paradigm clash between Abe (who says
that ego is GOOOOOD)...and ACIM - A Course In Miracles (who says that ego
is baaaaaaaddddddd).

Jeez louise...will youse non physical folks please take a vote or sumpin
and make up yer minds!

The paradigm clash is more apparent than real, imo. Both are interested in
personal expression hooked into a larger consciousness space as a basis for
effective living.

HITLER Tapes

Essence Solutions, Inc.
 

Hi. Thx, Elisabeth, for telling us about these two tapes about Hitler and
persecutors.

I'm prepaving how nice it will be to read those excerpts here on our
AbeList...if anyone is so moved. [And, Elisabeth, I am Not assuming you
will be the one to do it ;^).....just putting out what I want!


Again, Thx for the tip-off. And for anything that comes from this
prepaving ;^D


Much love,

Pat Mmmmmm




From: "Steve & Elisabeth " <fun4us@...>

Hi Everyone,

A little while ago someone (I forgot who) said that they were looking for
an Abe tape where they talk about Hitler. I found it! It's Los Angeles
1/31/99. There's another one about when persecutors die what happens on
El Paso, Tx. 11/14/98. I hope this helps.

Love,
Elisabeth

HAPPINESS, Anyone??

Essence Solutions, Inc.
 

Hi, folks...

In today's Washington POST [available on the Web], in the STYLE section
there are two stories about Happiness ;^)

One is called "The Happy Side of Life" and talks about 'who is happy', and
the psychological aspects of all that.

As I read it, I used it to discover more things that I want...like they
talk about the "flow" experience, which a University of Chicago
psychologist's research has shown increases one's quality of life. They
define it as 'achieving a state of mind in a task that mindfully engages
one's skills and challenges them without being overwhelming.'

I realized that *I* want more of that too. [And, in fact, I experience
that in my work, and talking with like-minded friends when we start soaring
while 'taking thought beyond'.]

So, as I read about that and other aspects, I was telling NonPhysical,
"Yes, I want that too: Make It So."


The second article is entitled "One Woman's Campaign to Make Happiness
Official." It includes a website for the Secret Society for Happy People.
[www.sohp.com]

This woman has been campaigning to have August 8 proclaimed "National Admit
You're Happy Day"!



We've come a long way, baby!!



Several governors have agreed to do so, including those in Maryland [yay,
my state!], Rhode Island, Nebraska, Indiana, and Texas.

This woman is quoted as saying: "Happiness is in the closet; it is not out
in the open where it should be."


Aaaaaamen. No argument on this list, I bet ;^)




Yes, this seems right up our alley ;^D


Much love,

Pat Mmmmmm

Ilana wrote last week [sorry, I'm catching up]:

Dear friends,

I am writing to let you know that after years of working to line
up my vibrations I finally got it and the universe was able to
deliver to me the love life of my dreams. My husband urged me to
tell you this story because he felt that it may inspire those who
read it to feel greater confidence in their own ability to create
whatever they want for themselves as well.



Ilana....This story is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!


And... sister/brother ABE-Babes/Hunks, of course the energy of Ilana's
deliberate creation is available to all of us....and of course we attracted
this phenomenal story of a success that represents the possibility for
any/all of us to have such a wonderful shift in ANY area of our lives.



As I read Ilana's story, savoring every word, I found myself wondering
repeatedly: is this a script?

Only to hear, again and again....No, THIS Is Real!!!



Wow. WHATEVER Ilana's real-life dream means to Me in my life experience,
I am asking NP to feed me thoughts and ideas, and whatever it takes, to
deepen and expand this experience in me as well!

In other words, to quote "When Harry Met Sally", I'm saying:

"I'll have whatever she's having" ^D




NP: MAKE IT SO!!!!







What if Ilana's shining example is one that each of us on the AbeList
[that wants it] is soon writing to share their PERSONALIZED version
of....in the next weeks and months ahead???


Again, I say: NP, Make It So!!!



Mmmmmmuch love to you all--- and Ezra!!!



And as they say in the old country: YUMMMMMMMMMMM!!!

The Plaster Shell

Intense feelings of embarrassment and absurdity filled my
entire body. This would not help the fact that I was
slathered in baby oil, clad in a T-shirt and lying in my
basement, in fifty pounds of plaster. I stared down at the
warm plaster that embraced my midsection and slowly
crept up towards my chest and tried to remember why I
had chosen to make a plaster cast of my entire body. For
a moment, I simply concluded that I was an utter fool, but
I soon remembered my motives, and while the plaster
dried, I certainly had the time to think about it.

The insecurities of my freshman year in college combined
with my poor body image made me feel like an oaf. Here I
was surrounded by all these lithe, long girls who wore the
latest fashions really well. Was there some mold that was
churning out these girls? And, where in the world did I
come from?

That was the beginning of the question that lead me to
my plaster ensconcement. It all began 506 years ago,
when my forebears were thrown out of Spain. They
migrated to Eastern Europe and developed the stocky,
bosomy shape consigned to overstuffed chairs. Though
my tall, slender parents seemed to have defeated this
pernicious (certainly in my eyes) shape, it continued
lurking in the depths of the family gene pool, and flung
itself into existence again with the arrival of their first-born
child - me. It gifted me with wide hips, a nonexistent
waistline, powerful shoulders, and ample breasts. Very
reminiscent of a long line of intimidating German
matriarchs.

Built to survive harsh winters and to breed children, I
certainly wasn't near anything I say in fashion magazines -
or like any of my new college peers. I loathed my shape
and cursed my past. Though I was always an
independent person who disregarded the edicts of
popularity and fashion, I could not ignore our culture's
concepts of beauty. The rancor I had for my body made
my freshman year of college really hard. Clothing seemed
to be made for those generic stick figures I sat next to in
class. That was when Dorothy, my slightly eccentric art
teacher, and mentor, originated the idea of body casting.

Consequently, on a lovely May morning, I found myself
sitting in a dank basement encased in plaster. I lost all
sensation in my legs at approximately the same time that
the plaster hardened. After an additional uncomfortable
twenty minutes, I slipped out of my plaster shell. At first, I
was rather depressed by the sight of the powder-white
and headless torso lying on an old towel. It looked more
like a sea creature stranded by the tide than a human
shape. My eyes squinted, trying not to take in the entire
picture of my shape, which was even more exaggerated
by the plaster. I thought about how I would never be
graceful or delicate, how two-piece swimsuits were
absolutely out of the question, and how I would never be
conventionally beautiful, or fashionably thin.

As I stared at the empty outer shell of myself, a great
realization hit me - I realized that I had been completely
wrong about my body image. For the past nineteen years
I had believed that my linebacker-like shape would
discourage others from noticing my additional attributes.
How would they ever see my love of science and books,
my creativity, or my offbeat sense of humor?
All this time I wanted to be fashionably svelte, but that
would not make me a better person. I recognized that
confidence was much more important to others than a
dainty appearance, and that if I had confidence, they
would notice my talents. More important, I realized that I
did not actually want to be thin and bikini-clad. I was quite
content using my powerful build to lug around
sixty-pound scenery pieces, and I liked my one-piece
practical bathing suits. My physical appearance had
shaped my personality in a largely positive way. It
contributed to my dislike of conformity. It gave me my
somewhat self-deprecating sense of humor. And it gave
me that strong will that I cherish so much. The
misconception I was holding all these years, along with the
exaggerated body cast that lay there on my basement
floor was suddenly so hilarious to me. I laughed for five
straight minutes.

The body cast currently resides in Dorothy's attic, under
a large blanket. I never actually used it in any art piece; I
felt like it served its purpose. The process of body casting
had been far more important than the product.

Since that day three years ago, I have not resented my
ancestral build. I have also discovered that being
comfortable in my body has given me increased
confidence and assertiveness, something many girls, and
women lack. Perhaps they should all be given the
opportunity to make their own body casts? When the
shell of the body is separate from the person it is obvious
that it is severely lacking. Without the wisdom, sense of
humor and heart it really has no shape at all.

Energy for Safe Move

 

Dear Friends,

I'm fairly new to this list, but love it and the Abraham principles. I've
posted about my new relationship in Portland, which I believe came about as a
result of using those principles.

I just wanted to let you know that I'll be moving to Portland, with Stephen's
help, on Saturday. We're stopping in Lincoln, NE for two days to see my
parents and then heading on west. We expect to arrive in Portland sometime
on Wednesday the 11th (the eclipse!!). I'd certainly appreciate your loving
energy for a safe and joyous trip. That's what I'm intending and allowing as
well.

I will be packing my computer tonight, and won't likely have it set up again
for a week or so (need a second phone line at Stephen's), but I can check my
mail on his computer until mine is up and running. Even though I won't be
reading your great posts during this coming week, I'll be thinking of all of
you.

The next time I "see" you all, I will be in my new home!! And I'll tell you
all about the wonderful adventures we had during the move and as I get
settled in Portland. Bye for now.

Laurel (formerly in Springfield, Missouri)


what is the meaning of "happy"?

 

Paul wrote: I do know that trading in FREE in order to get HAPPY
would be a bad deal for me at this point in my life.

I see no reason for you to trade what is working for you for
something that does not. LOA does not care what words you use, it
responds to your vibration.

As for reaching for happiness

When we are in a negative place LOA is going to offer us thoughts
that match where we are. Because they are a match to where we
are, these thoughts are going to feel perfectly justified and
appropriate in other words, they are going to feel good on this
level!

The same thought or action can match one desire (which feels
good) and contrast with another (which feels bad) or it can match
a desire (which feels good) and contrast with a belief (which
feels bad) or it can match a belief (which feels good) and
contrast with a desire (which feels bad...)

When abe talk about reaching for happiness they talk of reaching
for thoughts and actions that feel good purely no discomfort
at all. A thought or an action that feel even the least bit
uncomfortable indicate that they are in contrast with at least
something that I want or believe. But a purely happy thought is
always a match to the full spectrum of my desires and beliefs.
When I think a purely happy thought I am fully myself, I am fully
blended with my inner being, and I am on my joyful and direct
path to everything that I want.

With love,

Ilana-Ora

In north Idaho 30 miles below the Canadian border, in the beautiful
evergreen-forested mountains east of pristine Priest Lake.

At the eastern edge of a large rolling meadow near my home, overlooking a
marshy pond and surrounded on three sides by steep, low evergreen-forested
mountains.

A narrow band of ferns borders the meadow edge, extending out from the
forest undergrowth, and giving way to a wide swath of daisys now past their
bloom on the drier crest of the hill. I will be seated on a folding chair
where the daisys end and marsh vegetation begins, in the shade of a clump of
alder there.

I will be wearing black drawstring pants, a red T-shirt proclaiming "WE ARE
FAMILY" across the back, a Green-tone camouflage jacket if there are
mosquitos, and the colorful neck-pendant bead lizard my daughter Dove
Rainbow made and gave to me for Fathers Day this year. Across my lap will
be my beloved bamboo Shakuhatchi flute in its brain-tanned deerskin case
beaded in black raven tracks.

I thank you each and all for being yourselves and for your part in the
unfolding of my life.

With all the love in my heart,

Re: [FindYourSoulmate] Cat Love Letter

 

I get these things in my main every morning, never been about a cat before
but I thought it was relevant to creating our hearts desires, etc. I think
that's the way it works best to create something in our lives, to love it
more before it loves us.

Anyway, this is what I got in the mail this morning. LOVE YA- Juls

TODAY: Love Letter To A Cat

A love letter to a cat?
Why not? At least Andrew thought it might work.
This is an actual love letter written by a boy to his cat. But
before you read the letter, you must understand this about the cat.
She is about as affectionate as a cactus. And besides, she goes to
great length to avoid Andrew. She would rather sleep the day away in
one of her many hiding places scattered throughout the boy's house
than be near him. And on one of those rare occasions when she makes an
appearance, he can forget about touching her. If he never has anything
to do with her, that is all right by the cat.
The boy tries his best to be nice. He looks for her, searching
the house for an occupied hiding place, and feels abundantly grateful
if he should stumble upon his treasure. He is occasionally allowed to
stroke her once or twice before she flits off. He even feeds her,
hoping to eventually win her confidence and perhaps even a bit of
affection. But he is seldom rewarded with anything like attention.
Now that you know something about the cat, whose name is
Mehitabel, by the way, what about the love letter? It was found next
to the cat's food dish. This is what it said: "To cat (he couldn't
spell Mehitabel!): I love you. Before you love me I will love you
more. Love, Andrew. Meow!"
What a selfless love! "I love you. Before you love me I will
love you more." That is a parent's love for a child. And God's love
for humanity.
There is something excessive about a love which says, "Before
you love me I will love you more." What a wondrous world this would be
if it were filled with excessive lovers!

Re: ego a la Abe vs ACIM

Robert Payne
 

wow Connee....... i just happen to have an abe tape in my wlalkman about
that very same thing if you can possible imagine something like that ever
happening!!!!!

Ref: Abraham-Hicks - Boston MA 10-11-98 (side A)

The tape begins .... someone asking about the holy spirit that ACIM
describes as 'a guide who helps us heal the separation'. What is the
'holy spirit' and is 'healing the separation' the same thing as being
blended?

++++++++++++++++++++++++
Abraham:
it is tricky to find physical words for things that are non physical and
so we all are reaching for the best description for the reality of what it
is. this holy spirit that ACIM describes is 'source energy', it is 'the
god within', it is the 'Inner Being', it is 'lifeforce' ...... LOTS
of different words would describe it accurately. And when you are
allowing that.... you are 'blended', you are 'connected', you are
'soothed', in other words......you are 'source'............. and so when
you are allowing it...there is no separation.

separation and disconnected mean the same thing--but both are too strong of
words ----because in truth------ you can never be separated or disconnected
from your source! You can only pinch it off enough to have a miserable
time or feel pain or dispair, or experience sickness or poverty.......
because you have absolute free will......... you are so free that you can
create bondage (if you want to.)
+++++++++++++++++++++++++

And i have also found that combining the daily ABE calander place matting
process and the ACIM workbook together is cool ....WOWOWOWOWOWOW! ACIM
and ABE are just awesome when used together. ABE with the plain ordinary
talkin that children can understand and ACIM with the poetic beautiful and
also sometimes strange language that only someone like marianne williamson
can grasp the true meaning of. and connee, i love the way that you
translated abe into roman catholic words so that your mom could actually
(for the first time) hear. So could it be that 'floatin your cork',
or 'following your bliss' or 'lovin your neighbor' or 'dont worry be happy'
or 'book of positive aspects' etc etc etc ...... are they all just
Abrahams 'nothing is more important than feeling good" message at the
heart of each idea?

ACIM's -----Holy Spirit and Ego
ABRAHAM's-----Non Physical and Physical

hmmmmmm. Are both just different words used to describe the opposite
ends of the same ATI stick -----And are we the ATI stick? Are we that
ATI stick ..... with GOD (good) at one end and DEVIL (evil) at the
other?
And could 'who we think we are' just be wherever our free will happens
to focus on the ATI stick?
And is abe only saying for us to "focus where it feels good "?

and so could this also be why i sometimes feel like im so absolutely good
inside as well as sometimes feeling like im the biggest screw up that god
ever molded outta mud? and could this be why some people are so delighted
and some are so disgusted by what i reveal of myself? and is this what
determines to whom and when I speak out or shut up? is this what you mean
by that "uneasy truce" you have had with your mom? Is this always part
of the leading edge of thought contrast that everyone else here also deals
with ---- both outside of this abe space and also right INSIDE this abe
space a la our posts and pems?

thanks connee for sharing that last positive post..... i mean the
personal one about your old hard headed mom who still goes to the wrong
kind of church but heard abe anyway without you having to slap her a single
time and teaching her to like tree murderers no matter how many homeless
birds there are out there. i think you are pretty brilliant.
hmmmmmmm i sure wish you would work on my mom and potty train that tiny
taco bell dog she never leaves home without. even abe themselves are
stumped on that one. oh well, little 'hope' (her dog) is her
connection and her whole life .......and it does only takes a cotton ball
and a toothpick to clean up where shes been and she does sing 'home on the
range' real good now when mom plays it on the harmonica. oh yeah......
sing Hope........ 'where seldom is heard a discouraging word and the skies
are not cloudy all day.'........ jeeeeeez i cant sing .... so connee ,
could ya just please pass me your end of the ATI stick that you keep
stiring my thoughts with and a fresh focus wheel?

thanx
lois

ps. you wrote ........."my Science of Mind point of view" and "I am a
Licensed Religious Science Practitioner, which an ecclesiastical officer
position in our church. " ? i am unfamiliar with these terms. could
you explain exactly what this is and what you do and how does abe happen to
be sitting in the middle?

Subject: [Abraham-Hicks] ego a la Abe vs ACIM


From: Connee Chandler <connee@...>

Hi, friends,

Somebody today asked me why ACIM says ego is bad, and Abe said
ego is good. (Paraphrasing the question here. ) This was my
answer, and I thought you guys might want to add to it.

The problem with ego is that Abe and ACIM define it differently.
ACIM means ego as acting separate from God (loose translation.)
Abe means ego as being your unique personality perspective on the
world that acts as a filter to choose what is necessary to pay
attention to in the 1 billion sensory data bits coming at us at
all times.

The best line I ever heard about ego was someone who said (can't
remember who) that if you
replace the word ego in 20th century literature, with the word
"devil" in 19th Century literature, you could easily be reading
the same literature! <grin>

So your friend is right, when he is acting from ego, as in,
separation from God, it doesn't feel
good. But ego can learn to be integrated with God within, and
trained to perceive the million data bits in every moment that
feed back love, light, beauty and joy, and identify itself as the
very valuable filter that shows you God in all things.

What do you think about ego?

Love and hugs,

Connee

are so
low that "only a few hurricanes" could restore reservoirs to their
necessary levels!!! WOW, my immediate thought was to watch and see what
manifests this fall -- implanting this intention in the minds of
millions that to restore our water we need to invite several hurricanes
into our lives!!!!!

I recall one time in college, as a camp counselor, my group was assigned
to stage a rain dance. Intuitively I penned some syllables ("that I
made up on the moment") and we performed it ... it poured for the next
three days!

So, as the papers carry on about how this is the 2nd driest year in the
century, I'm also wondering what thoughts in the masses has manifested
this as the collective experience here? Any ideas for this one? How do
we ABE our way collectively on something that the collective has
manifested?

I choose to believe we can invite in long soaking nuturing rains with
the wonderful therapeutic sounds and energies that sooth so many without
flash and crash.

Count me in on this one Juls! Love, Jenna

Hi Guys,

Well are WE Deliberate Creators or What?

I say we pull together our group focus and brings some rain down to
any
and
all areas that would like it. I know where I live would sure like
some
rain, these water restrictions thing are getting hard to keep
straight-
with
so many pet sitting dogs in so many areas and I water plants as well
and
well, you get the idea.

SO, I propose that we focus on rain for a bit, say, what 68 seconds or
so
and get some instant manifestations going on the planet, clear
indications
of our power and focus and deliberate creations and all of that jazz.

Anyone want to play with me?

I'll start. Rain, dancing in the rain, thunder rolling thru the
skies,
lightening blazing across the heavens, birds preening and cleaning
their
feathers, kids squealing in delight, rainbows, double rainbows that
touch
the ground and seem to cover the whole sky, snuggling down in your bed
hearing the rain drops outside your window, rain falling on top of
your
roof, the pitter patter of rain on the leaves, on the roof, on your
windshield, on your face. The wind picking up speed and moving the
trees
all about in graceful dances, driving without your sunglasses on, the
mellowness of a rainy day with nothing to do, yellow rain boots,
yellow
slickers, big floppy yellow rain hats, splashing in puddles, the smell
of
worms, gentle night storms when the rain lulls you to sleep, and
gently
awakens you in the morning, big black clouds filled with rain arriving
from
all directions, the ocean in the rain, white caps, big waves, seagulls
calling out, the moment the sun peeks thru again, the cool cleanness
of
the
air..................................... Next.

LOVE YA- Juls


just to say...

Paula Sirois
 

I LOVE YOU ALL...and I cherish the glow of your expansive hearts and brilliant minds.

My life is unfolding into greater and greater levels of beauty and joy with grace and style.

The FINE details will emerge on another day...

here's a sketch:

My "First Light Meditation" classes are being held twice weekly now. The participants are an expanding and expansive group, full of desire and focus. We meet at a local light-filled cafe where my husband's rock band plays to a growing crowd regularly. This month, these "creative inner journeys" that sprout forth from my deepest imagination are being featured in two local newspapers. I am being flooded with freelance editing and writing assignments. My son is in REAL LOVE. We found a wonderful, connected, local nutritionist who is assisting Daniel with great levels of skill and understanding. My husband got a brand new job and a HUGE RAISE. Both of my brilliant and beautiful children fill me with delight continually. I am finding many new and true friends in my physical experience...and I am playing more and more in the light of ALL THAT IS DIVINE.

We are spiraling UP.

And I am loving the ride with YOU.

WE ARE ONE SOUL.

Re: I want to be happy

Robert Payne
 

harvey used to tell me that the defination of 'being happy" is:

to one who is starving .... it is food.
to one who is sick....it is health
to one who is old....it is youth
to one who is poor....it is money
to one who is lonely...it is a friend
to one who is misunderstood... it is understanding
to one who is a parent...it is the well being of a child
to one who feels hate.....it is love
to one who is at war....it is peace
to one who is afraid.....it is safety
to one who feels controlled....it is freedom
to one who dispairs....it is a dream
to one who seeks.....it is knowledge
to one who is thirsty....it is water
to one who is in darkness.....it is light
to one who feels lack....it is abundance
to one who is confused....it is knowing
to one who is rejected...it is acceptance
to one who is suffocating....it is air
to one who is hijacked.....it is rescue
to one who is critized....it is respect
to one who is dead....it is life
to one who is a jdc....it is abraham
to lois it is a laptop

and the list never ends.........it can be anything and everything, great and
small, needed or not. moment by moment, our definition of 'being happy'
changes and moves around as we do........and is also the exact same thing im
reading here that describes what "freedom" means, isnt it? i mean,
couldnt one also define 'being free' as ignoring traffic laws, shooting
guns in public, committing murder, rape, incest, theft etc etc etc?

and doesn't 'being happy' or 'being free' both mean "FEELING GOOD
NOW"? But if ya hold your mouth just right. it does almost sorta
kinda sound like you could hurt, kill or destroy and call it 'being happy'
or 'being free'. i remember wondering this too and this idea still gets
presented time and time again to abe at workshops. abe always says
that it is NOT possible to feel good and hurt something or someone else
at the same time.....PERIOD. that is just not possible for a person to
do something "bad" and feel 'good' doing it ...... that it just aint a
match and just cannot be.....that is--- if you cut thru the words to the
feelings which are the real truth. and yes....... of course we all
know you wont feel a thing when you get a tooth drilled IF you are
unconscious or have a little shot of novicane .......... but OMG ....
when that drug wears off or the person wakes up--------oh NOOOOOOOOOOO .
well, you know what i mean..... but abe says it so much better on the tapes.

From: "Paul Roberts" <netpaul@...>

The purpose of this post is NOT to rain on anyone's parade...it is not my
intent...so please don't take it that way if you have been part of the "I
want to be happy thread".

For me, "I want to be happy" doesn't quite cover it, tho.

So many people do so many things because they want to be happy...and not
all of them are of equal worth, imo.

Strung out crackheads snort crack cause they want to be happy.
Paranoid dictators do the ethnic cleansing thing cause they want to be
happy.
Obsessed pedophiles troll the net cause they want to be happy.

But I DO want to be happy too!

So how do I work / play with this thing myself? By realizing that the only
thing that REALLY can make me happy is the experience of being FREE.

For me, being FREE is both the necessary and the sufficient condition for
happiness. Everything else, it seems to me, is gravy.

When I am experiencing life as a FREE being, life is GOOOOOOOOOOOOOD. When
I fall asleep, or forget, or get disconnected (or whatever words you care
to use) life is not quite so good...and sometimes is quite "bad".

If life gets "bad", and that's where I concentrate all my remedial
efforts...sometimes life gets WORSE.

On the other hand, if life gets "bad", and I concentrate my remedial
efforts on getting FREE once again, life immediately gets GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD.

Is this abe-ish? I dunno!

But I do know that trading in FREE in order to get HAPPY would be a bad
deal for me at this point in my life.

Comments? Ideas? Thoughts?

ABE at Collective Level

Jenna Wexler
 

This is a topic that I am extremely interested in and would love to get
this lists ideas about!!! How do we respond to dire collective
circumstances. I know we're already challenged with learning this at
the personal individual level -- but how do we take ABE up a notch to
the community or global level?

For instance, in the last few weeks I've received an email about dire
human conditions (for women) in various parts of the world asking people
to sign a petition for the UN and further network the petition to
others. OK, we can each do that, and then what? I thought about
forwarding it to the list, but didn't know...didn't know...didn't know!

AND, I've also received a plea to atten an ANTI-neo-nazi event in DC
(this weekend) to counter the Neo-Nazi's event that is being held there
at the same time. Talk about resistance!!! Though not raised Jewish,
many of my inlaws are Hallocaust survivors. How do I find appreciation
for Nazi's -- or the KKK -- or terrorists? Knowing their agenda.
Knowing they are choosing the ego of separation from Source and wishing
to apply the results of that in other's lives -- these are individuals
that we do not personally know that are choosing to set an intention to
control and harm others. How do we respond? How do we SOM or ABE
this? Do we repeat the actions of many countries during WW2 and not do
anything until it's in our backyard and then, since we didn't act to
help others, face the question of who's going to act to help us? This
was a form of allowing...how do we apply "allowing" in these situations?

I know there is a level of thought that says -- well each member of that
scenario chose that for themselves at some soul design level. BUT, we
are all one, we are all connected. What is our highest good and highest
form of action in the unified oneness? If you were the subject of some
terrorist activity, could you just calmly say "OK, I guess I chose
this..."?

I know one response, such as Jimmy Twyman, has been to hold peace
meditations and vigils -- to maintain and be a source of PPE in the
center of negativity. Is this the only tool in our toolbox? OK, I've
given you a tip about one solution/response. But, I'm challenging all
of you to crank this approach to community, global, planetary life up to
the next level of thought and discussion here.

And, for those who hold meditations on Saturday noons, are these
situations that you would hold in you PPE during that assigned time?
THen please let me know what information to forward to you (and to
whom).
Jenna
