Hi Connee
The best way I know to stop the negative thoughts is to choose more positivethanks Connee for reminding me of this. And that is something that alerts me when I have something bothering me.. when I'm not happy and bouncy, I know something is bugging me. My friend says she knew I was being bothered by the # of times I had to rip out my Xstitch.. I generally never have to but this time I did 4 times. It's a beautiful day again. I've removed the immediate pressure from myself by delaying my schooling until Jan. This gives me more time to manifest wonderful things.. and I find it easier to stay happy and focussed on the positive when the pressure is off. Find a way to get happy and stay happy today!woohoo... this is the part I love the best.. it's so much easier to get through the day happy.. I used to be so grumpy all the time... And then, when you are feeling much better, fantasize about massage school.These things are easy for me as I already practice massage and healing on a regular basis. I bought my massage table last year.... and as I was getting on the bus with it, I sat down totally content and looked up to see a sign that read "Your career starts here!" boy did that make me happy.. :) Life is good.it is.. and thank you, Connee for reminding me of the wonder of it all.. Love, hugs and chocolate -- Mary-Anne The only way to find the limits of the possible is to reach beyond it into the impossible. |

noticing my quick manifestations
Jane Petersen
When this thread of manifestations started, I didn't think I had
anything to contribute. But this morning I realized I have maybe small manifestations that count. I am impressed with how fast things can happen on the net. There is a chatspace that I frequent at spiritweb.org that I think is a lot of fun. Anyway, I Love meeting people from all different kinds of places. Several times I have thought, hmmm...I haven't met anyone in here from THIS (whatever country I feel curious about in the moment) country. And its like minutes and someone from that country will surf in, usually for the first time, and join in on the chat and joking around there. <g> I know its a LITTLE thing, but it sure is fun when it happens. I manifested email penpals from Russia that way, wanting to meet likeminded people from there. I wanted to find out what was happening with rebirthing and psychic research since the big changes in that country. Both of these people flagged me down on icq, wanting to know more about rebirthing. LOL! Anyway, thats ~my~ little share..... light Jane Petersen |
Re: awesome manifestation with my Mom
Trixi Summers
Good Wonderful Morning to Connee and ALL!
Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful story! It touched my heart deep within! As a woman I know that the mother/daughter relationship is a very strong bond, therefore can cause many rifts between woman. It's almost like the ying and yang, Mother and Daughter. But when you look deeper you will see that the "mother" is the un-conditional lover. (Not leaving you guys out - just the mother thing today as we have learned and know it here on earth!). The one who will give her life for her child. The one that will forgive no matter what. That is what comes from deep inside and why? Because when we love another so very much our hearts are open. Fully open. We see first and foremost the love and then all else takes over. You see - a Mother's number one is her love for her child. It takes over EVERYTHING ELSE! Mothers are the absolute BEST teachers of un-condtional love! Do you remember who held you when you scraped your knee? She could always make it better. Just by loving you. And if you had a mother that believed in you un-conditionally - well - need I say more? Have you ever noticed that the ones who we really admire on tv are the ones who say - my Mom told me to go for the gold. She believed in me! You see a mother is our first introduction to this life. She is our life force while we are in the womb. She is our bandager when we scrape pieces of our bodies. She is our protector - WHOOPS - That is a human trait what we think and here is where the rift begins......... Out of the love that a mother has for her child she begins to believe that she must protect the child. As soon as you go into protect mode you leave the love mode. Funny huh! Meanwhile the child is screaming - BUT MOM, just leave it be. We are all safe. ALL IS WELL! No matter what! And then the mother believes - wow this child is wild and I must protect more and more.... The mother does all this out of the love she has for her child. And once a mother ALWAYS a Mother, no matter if you are 5 or 50! She is always on the sidelines cheering you on. Always on the sidelines saying I LOVE YOU! I want only the best for you. You are my angel! And so I now take this opportunity to Thank all the Mothers in the world - past, present and future for all the un-conditional love that we spew all over our children. THank us ALL! And I Thank the Fathers for supporting the mothers! I thank the Fathers for being here doing what they do - usually balancing the mom and daughter! Ha Ha Ha! I Thank the children for coming and re-minding us how sweet life is. How beautiful the NOW is ALWAYS! Yes, the mother - daughter relationship can be difficult - but take the challenge! Take the part that loves you un-condtionally! Take the LOVE, the Laughter! Take that part! ALL THE REST DOES NOT MATTER! Oh and Connee - Thank you so very much for laying this on the table for us to see just how wonderful that relationship can be. You have proven once again that it's not the subject at hand, but the love that we have for one another! You are the child that has shown your mother just how wonderful life can BE! I AM THAT I AM, OH and a mother too! :) Loving my "job" as a MOM - Giving Love and Receiving that love right back! Trixi P.S. I am going on vacation on Saturday and will miss reading all your posts. I am sure that I will have a zillion messages to return to and look forward to reading them! Thank you all for being part of my wonderful life!

Why ego is valuable, wonderful, EVERYthing
<< Somebody today asked me why ACIM says ego is bad, and Abe said ego is
good. >> What does "ACIM" stand for? << 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? >> Here's my take on why ego is valuable, wonderful and EVERYthing and why Abe has is positive about ego. It has to do with perspective. Our unique perspective and perception of our experience comes through the "lens" of our individual personhood, and to me our individual personhood is tied in with our "ego". Can we have different perspectives, different perceptions, without egos? Can we be individual persons without individual egos? Each of us is a unique "lens" or "focal point" because each of us was born in unique circumstances, has lived a unique chain of experiences in a unique series of places with a unique series of people, with different "results" and "reactions", resulting in different "beliefs". It's because of our uniqueness that each of us has a original and "creative" new ideas, new thoughts, new ways of looking at things. And we all know the value of new thoughts!! On a recent tape of the month (Albuquerque, 5/9/99) I heard Abe explain that (not a direct quote) when we create we are not sending vibrations out into the universe, as many of us imagine. Instead we are attracting energy IN, each of us attracting *** a unique synthesis which comes from our unique perspective. *** To me this means that there is great value in our individuality, our unique personhood (which again, I relate to the concept of "ego"). Abe said when we have a "new" idea, we are drawing energy in, creating a thought bank which is then accessible to others with similar perspectives and focus. They gave the common example of a scientist having an original theory, researching it long and hard, only to have another scientist on the other side of the world "tap into it", do much less work on it (grasp the concepts more easily) and announce his "discovery" at the same time!! I'm still looking for clarity about these "thought banks", and this tape brought questions to my mind! Are our thought banks "close to" the earth, related only to the physical experience? Do we draw in energy on a topic, "closer to" the earth from "out there" somewhere in the Universe, making it more accessible to our fellow physical human beings? Is anyone clear on this? Jane (ME) |

Re: I want to be happy

What is our working definition of "happy"?
In HOW WE CHOOSE TO BE HAPPY, this is the definition of happiness. "A profound, enduring feeling of contentment, capability and centeredness. A rich sense of well-being that comes from knowing you can deal productively and creatively with all that life offers--the god and the bad. Knowing your internal self and responding to your real needs, rather than the demands of others. A deep sense of engageme living in the moment and enjoying life's bounty." I'll take that, Universe! ~^^V^^~ |
Re: ?

Hi Mary Anne,
So what it will feel like to walk in to the massage school on the first morning? On the 30th morning? what will your classmates be like? What will your instructors be like? Will you have homework? Who will you practice on? What will it feel like on the day your graduate? The day you get your first client? The day that you open up your first clinic or shop? How strong will your hands and arms and shoulders feel as you get used to doing the moves? how sore will you feel at first? Will you each massage each other in class? What will be your favorite subjects? What will you wear your first day of school? Go there, the money will come when it does, there's no doubt that it will, just live as if it's already here. LOVE YA- Juls |
Re: a template
Steve & Elisabeth
From: Ilana Goldman <ilanagoldman@...>
Hi everyone, I wrote myself a few guidelines and then I used them as a template for relating to specific subjects. It felt wonderful so I am offering them to you to play with if you wish. With love, Ilana-Ora ------- Reality does not matter at all to me except to the extent that it is fun. I do nothing in order to make things happen in any specific way. This is not my job LOA takes care of this stuff. I only interact with reality for the fun of it. Anything in the physical world that is not fun on its own accord is an opportunity to have fun in my fantasy world. I allow reality to catch up when it will. The more fun it is the more valuable it is. So what would be the most fun right now? Hi Ilana, Your words are perfect as usual. You always express yourself so beautifully. Thanks for the boost! Love, Elissabeth |
Re: I want to be happy

From: Juls <laughingpaws@...>Hi Juls :o) ALL of those people that you mentioned are just doing the best that theyI completely agree with you...and posted something to that effect a while back to this list. One way is not better than another way, some ways just bring true longlasting happiness while others tend to be short term band aid efforts, but we're all working for thesame goal to be Happy.Ok...just to pull this apart a bit right before beddy bye. First, can you see that you are using the word BETTER to both infer and imply that I am making MORAL judgments about these hypothetical folks? I can assure you I am not. And second, after emphatically stating that there is no such thing as a gradient for BETTER, you immediately go on to classify these imaginary folks and their behaviors by your own gradient for BETTER: namely, the EFFECTIVENESS of some means to produce LONG TERM as opposed to SHORT TERM happiness (as you so aptly put it). And that is exactly where I agree with you, my friend, and exactly what I was pointing to with my post. :o) LOVE YA back, NetPaul |
Re: Trees
Steve & Elisabeth
Hi Connee,
Way to go!!!! I loved the story about your mom and the secret teachings-so to speak. What a wonderful manifestation! I too have had some mom issues and found the place of appreciation and helping her find that place. It feels so great! Now my mom and I have a super great relationship. Saying we have come so far is an understatement. We used to have the Catholic issue too, but our minds have expanded and that isn't an issue anymore. I feel soooo happy for you because I remember the contrast, and the beautiful way everything turned around, just beautiful and perfect as it always does. Thanks for helping me to remember how wonderful my life is. You are pure love. I appreciate all of your beautiful embracement of life. It's so good- isn't it! Love, Elisabeth |

Re: I want to be happy

Hi NetPaul,
ALL of those people that you mentioned are just doing the best that they know how in every moment to feel happy too. One way is not better than another way, some ways just bring true long lasting happiness while others tend to be short term band aid efforts, but we're all working for the same goal to be Happy. For you it's Freedom that makes you happy, so what does freedom mean to you? Would not freedom to a paranoid dictator mean living in a country where everyone is alike? Would not freedom to a pedophile be free access to kids that they desire and the freedom to do it publicly and without shame? Whose to say one way is better than another? How do YOU get YOUR freedom? is it by leaving another? Is it by not getting involved or close to another? Is it by having tons of cash so you have every option open to you? Are we not, as a government, also a paranoid dictator by running in to change those things that we don't like NOR understand when it serves our purpose? Are we not all pedophiles when we are little and play doctor with one another? Don't we all on some level wish that everyone we met, everywhere we go, everything we see brought us great joy and served us without complaint or contradiction? Is everything that is not generally liked or done a "Bad" thing? I often think about how just a few short years ago all of us here would have been outcasts in a major way, burned at stakes, drowned, put in prison because we don't uphold the general beliefs of our society, does that make Us "Bad" too? I have no desire to make everyone look like me, or engage in sexual activities with little kids, or any of those more extreme acts of possibilities, but I also have no desire to condemn another in their desire to feel good and happy along their path either. I have NO idea what is going on in their hearts or mind, nor do I want to because it's none of my business, but everything is relative. I watched a movie today about a guy who was sent to Alcatraz for steeling $5 from a post office to buy food for himself and his little sister. He ended up pissing someone off and was thrown in to solitary confinement for 3 years, he saw the light of day 30 minutes each year and then was released and killed someone from the frustration of that experienced. Different characters in the movie talked about how positive the penal system is, blah blah blah. Near the end of the movie, he's talking with his lawyer and the "Bad" guy told him to change his plea to guilty because he couldn't go back there, that he didn't know what it felt like to have stolen $5, etc. His lawyer said, Yes I do, I was about 12 and took $5 out of my brother's wallet. The criminal guy asked, What did he do? The lawyer replied, He told me to never do it again. Same crime, different circumstances, different outcomes, different vibes, different intents, same thing. There are always reasons Why people do the things that they do, and we almost never find out what the true ones are, basically it's none of our business and doesn't make any difference. Everyone is doing the best that they know how in every moment to feel better if not just plain good. For you it's freedom, for me, at the moment it's finding a gorgeous beach house that accepts dogs that is available the week of August 14-22, tomorrow it will be something else. I'll get off my soap box now, but I realized tonight at our "Prayer Meeting" :D, that we're all aiming for the same thing, just using different paths to get there and that's actually a Really Good Thing.

Water, Rain, Thunderstorms, etc
Juls
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 |

I want to be happy
Paul Roberts
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? NetPaul |
