Hush your Mind

6/1/2013

0 Comments

 
Come around again and listen to Me tell you about you, about your beauty, about your wisdom, about your truth. There is truth in your being, in your being you. There is nothing for you to do, so be still, hush, yes hush your mind. You will never know all until you can quiet the rambling voice which shouts, and learn to listen to the Small Still Voice with which you have never been without.

It will Ring True

5/28/2013

It is scary, because all I have known as safety is slipping away. Yet I know what matters isn’t matter at all, it’s spiritual and my spiritual truth is grand and wonderful. On this truth I rely. I put my faith in God and His Magnificence. All glory, I give to God.

This is the way, the way you come to Me when all else fails and is broken. You fall to your knees and I lift you up in My Arms. I hold you, love you and admire your strength, your willingness to circumvent yourself for the larger goal of love to and from your “True Self.” This is the way of Life with Me, Life for Eternity.

Things are better than they seem. They really are. I can see the glory of the day to come. I know what you do not. I know what your future holds and it is glorious. Yes, your vision is clouded, but your heart is in the right place, next to Mine. We beat as One. You are My hope and you thought I was yours. I have plans for you, for things We can together do. Yes, Me and you. Oh, what We will do.

We do not desert Our own. You have awakened into a Brotherhood of a caring Family. We are here to love and support you as you do “the work.” You are our eyes and ears. Head to toe you can be and go, and be seen, where we may not. Whatever you do, wherever you are, we are now fully able to assist, as you have allowed us to enter your heart and consciousness. You can say what needs said, so it can be heard. Your voice is clear and beautiful. It will ring true and herald Truth for many. We write books together. Of One Heart and Mind we are. Whatever kind of questions you ask, are the kind of answers you get.

Meant to Lighten your Load

You don’t have to do this, any of this, on your own and we are not speaking just to the one with the pen in the hand. We, your Spirit family, your Good and God connection, are here to minister to your every need and wish, but it cannot be two ways. It’s either your way or the “High Way.” We invite you to take the road less traveled.

Part of me speaks with a voice expressing what I think and wonder about and the other speaks with a confidence that makes firm statements of this is how it is. I believe this is the Voice of the Truth of God, which is Good.

You have to ask the right questions to get the right answers. Not everyone knows this, this is true, but you are not alone.

Can you see the Light, the Light of Day? I have put it there to light your way. Steal away unto My heart. Give True Life a worthy start. Hear My Voice. Sing My Song. The day, I promise you, will not be long. We are together you and I. Together with One Voice, we touch the sky. This, no man’s heart can deny. All My Power is with you and within you. All can be done. Tell it like it is, My Will be done.


Allow Me to Express through you. Our work is not through. There is much We shall do. Be available. Remain open to Me and your eyes shall see the Glory of it all. The channel, your soul, is just being cleared. There is so much more We will do My dear. Stay near. Don’t you doubt, you will never be without My Love holding you so above the fray. There is no delay. I got you girl, you get Me. We are a team, undivided. As “One” We win, “All to All.”

He asks you why you aren’t doing your art right now. It’s because people need words, words to find their way and you are to direct them as you know and as I show you the Light of Day. Your art will gain value in other eyes as you help Me give them new eyes.

It is all to be well with thee. Smile, you are not forgotten. You are My “For-Get-Me-Not,” My flower child, My blossom in the garden of heavenly delight. Someone will say, “We have been waiting for you, for these words to be delivered.” and you will say, “Here it is, the manifesto!” And as well you have the images which illustrate the brilliance of My Light.


It all started because I wanted to understand why I was this way, why I was so driven to create. I have known no other quite like me. I had to know why this was my destiny. I began to write words as they came, “painting titles” I called them, became a game which I played with myself for over a year before it became clear that there was more just beyond the door which was my mind. And I had to find what lay ahead, what was “Truth” for me, not ever imagining the glory of my destiny.

I now know, it’s the Voice of God which I hear so clear. He calls me “Precious” and loves me dear, but not just me alone. And even though it is my own soul I am to atone, I have to tell what I am told. The story sounds new but it is very old. As old as time and then before time began, our Maker was, the “I am.”

I need to feel good because I have a lot to do.


Yes, you do!

I give God the power of full expression in my life. This is heavy stuff!

This is light stuff, meant to lighten your load to unburden your shoulders from the weight of the world, which you carry around. We never said you had to do it alone. All is done as needed, as you wish. Please be fine with that knowing for now. There is much for you to do and you know what that is. You are the only physical one to do it. So please do leave the unseen to the unseen. We are happy to be of service, please allow.

Take it to the Highest Power

We are told Jesus Christ came to preach “The Good News,” the Gospel. He and his apostles proclaimed the “Good News” while Jesus walked and talked as man, as Christ on earth, all before his crucifixion, death and resurrection. So what was this “Good News” they preached? Was it the same stories we have heard it in church and read in the bible? The stories that proclaim Jesus as the “only Son of God” and that Jesus was God and of his resurrection from the dead?
 
It couldn’t have been. Jesus never proclaimed he was God, Jesus as Christ said he was one with God. His whole mission and ministry was focused on leading us on this same path, so each of us as well, may feel and know God as our Father. Know God so well and be so filled with Divine Love that God’s Will automatically becomes our will and thus we are as well “one in being with the Father,” the Father, our Creator, Mother, Source, All, the Universe, Parent, Life, Wholeness, Completeness, return to our True Being.   

To many it’s a riddle that can’t be solved. God is the key. It’s not a brain thing. The brain is too small for such understanding. One has to let go of preconceived ideas, quiet the brain, the busy chattering mind. One has to check out of this physical reality and check in with their spiritual center. God is our spiritual core. God is good and good is our essence, our Truest Self. The one we forgot about. The one we stopped listening to. The one we don’t trust. The one whom is waiting.

Saints and sinners, two groups or one? I want to be a saint. Please forgive my errors of thinking, speaking, judgment, non-action. Take me in, into Your arms. Hold me close. Never let me go. I need help. I need Your help. I am ready.

You called My Name
Here I am
Private relationship
Go alone and pray
Go into your closet and pray
Invite Me in
Take Me in
No room for worry
Strength
Stronghold
Security
Breath
Flow
Flourish
Nourish
Enrich
Take it to the Highest Power
Power Source
Take the lead
Re-search
Look again
Into the quiet
Find the calm
The blessing happens
Faith in the phenomenal
I am
Feel your way
Inner trust
Our moment
Dwell in the Light
Be patient
If we trust
There is no darkness.
Do you have faith?
If so, faith in what?
You say, “Faith in God”
What do you mean by that?
Do you mean that you know God exists?
Do you mean that you know God?
Perhaps you say you have faith
Faith that God knows best for you
That you trust God’s Will
So what do you believe God’s Will is?
Do you say when something happens that
It is the Will of God, just because it happens?
Is this your response, whether you perceive
A situation as good or bad?
Do you delight and praise God
When all is well?
Or do you give God a second thought?
As all is going so well for you
By your estimation that
You don’t need God’s help?
What about when you feel life is wrong
Or unfair to you or others
Do you blame God?
Do you ask why God
Would let bad things happen?
Do you accept this as the Will of God?
Are you angry?
Do you think God is angry?
Mean and uncaring?

Wow, that’s really heavy stuff and exactly what I believe many people believe. I once did too, but no more. I have a new understanding of God. I have a new understanding of how the universe works. I have a new understanding of how God’s Will is done. It’s all up to us, each one of us really. The prayer attributed to Jesus Christ, the Lord’s Prayer, says we are to pray “May Thy Will be done.” So what is God’s Will and how is it done? God’s Will is for each and every one of us to know His Being intimately. We do this by silencing our own mind and tuning into the higher frequency of God mind. God gave each of us our own free will; free will to do as we like on our own, living only on the physical plane or rising higher and living higher by acknowledging and listening to our “Spiritual Essence.”  There, we find God.

God wants us each individually to seek Him. He wants us each to come home, back to His arms. He wants each of us to love Him and want His Love. He is so ready to fill each one of us up with his all-powerful Divine Love. Divine Love is the essence of God. God offers the Gift of His “Divine Essence” to each one. First we have to ready our hearts. We have to build a worthy temple, a worthy temple in our own being, the truth of us, our heart and soul.
 
Through Moses we learned of the Ten Commandments of God. Yes, this is God’s Will but as humans we find it not so easy to do. We most often fail at keeping these laws. God knows, He wants to help us, help Him. God wants to make it easier for each of us to help Him, to do His Will. When we ready our hearts and drop to our knees and ask to be filled with His Love, God will give His Divine Love to us. It’s a one on one thing. No one can petition for another for God’s Will or God’s Love to fill another’s soul. It’s a matter of surrender, surrendering the idea of self importance, surrendering one’s own will to the Will of God.


Never fear God’s right here!
Love is the opposite of fear
God is Love
Thus when one lives in fear
They live as though God is not near
God is good
When you believe in good
You believe in God
Who fear’s good?
Look for good
Look for God
Good is not to be feared
God is not to be feared
Fear not
So is fear a sin?
To sin is to miss the mark
Sinning is error thinking
So what do you think?
God is our refuge
Make your heart a worthy place
A holy shrine for God
Fear not, God is with you
I am right here
Too good to be true
What a statement
What a sad statement
Life is good
You have to look for it though
Remember, seek and you shall find
It’s a matter of what you are looking for
Not where you look
Open your eyes
Wipe away the mud.


I believe in good, for goodness sake. I believe good is the truth.


Find Me here
Walk this way
Way to go
Go ahead
Lend an ear
Leading the way
Universal viewpoint
All knowing
All seeing
The wonderful world of God
As you believe
Watch what you think
Be careful what you say
Be nice
Let your words be kind
Send love with every breath
Feel Me
Be Me
I need your presence
I need you
Inquire within
Divine Council
Ask Me
Feelin’ groovy
In the groove of life.

Whatever comes to me, I am not making this up.

For real
Real good
Real God.

I’d like to know more.

Information please
Wisdom ways
Incubate an idea
Sleep on it
The Gospel according to…
Matthew, Mark, Luke & John?
The Gospel word
The Gospel means “Good News”
God still speaks.


I am prompted, urged, possessed to record these “thoughts” that come to me. They are not to be Divine secrets. They are to be told, to be written and to be recorded, to be manifested, to be shared. We are to be the voice of God in the physical, a link between the two worlds, a medium.

Divine Love Flow Through Me

9/6/2012

0 Comments

 
My mind used to be filled with pain and fear. Now it is filled with love and comfort.

See how far you have come. It is truly a delight. I delight in you. Delight in Me. Delight in Me in you. Oh yes, this is the way. It is and shall be. Walk with Me.


It was a whole new concept, the idea that I should fix me, not everyone else. Talk about a hard pill to swallow.

But swallow you did, not all at once for sure. You broke it up into little pieces and nibbled on it from time to time. Bitter booger wasn’t it? But see how sweet life tastes now? How you can enjoy the company of, actually delight in the company, of those who you had determined to fix if it killed you, and in fact it was.


My first decision was that I was going to learn mind control. I jokingly said that, knowing all the while that it was my own mind I wished to tame. As I explored and researched ways of doing this, new information continually came to light, very shocking and unsettling information which I didn’t just take as a truth and swallow whole. Again, I picked over each bone and investigated and tested the teachings.

Yes, you did. We were so proud of you. This is how it is supposed to be for when you did accept each concept new to you blind belief was not needed, for you knew their truth by your own testing and proving.

After having spent so many days of so many years in continual physical pain and limitation I was deeply offended to hear it said that it was of my own creation. That really pissed me off. It’s surprising now that I didn’t just slam that book shut and kick it down the stairs.

You were so curious. You were so wanting and desiring better for your life that you closed no door to possibility. This is what is needed by all an open mind. It is the mind that is “made up” that has no room to grow.


The thing that kept bugging me about the whole “law of attraction” thing was that the ideas that had until that point formed the foundation of my ideas of life, my understanding of what was and shall be were rocked, rocked back and forth. The ground beneath my feet no longer felt firm. If this was so, the law of attraction and all the tricks and tweaks to life as presented in The Secret, what was true of God and Jesus as I knew? How did all that fit in? I was not so easily swayed to believe that someone could replace the word “God” with “the Universe” or “Spirit” in a sentence and just move on.

It’s also true that prayer had lost its power and magic over me. I had continually turned to “the Church” for answers and comfort and left at a loss for all. My needs were not met. My answers were not coming. But God, or the idea I had always held of God, had a hold on me and said “Keep looking, seek and ye shall find.”  

One very important thing, actually I know it was the most important thing I have ever found, proclaimed and received is a Divine Love prayer titled, The Prayer Perfect. I found on the internet, happened upon, as it seemed while on this truth quest. The person that posted it challenged the reader to pray the prayer twice daily for fifteen minutes and that whoever did so would never experience life again the same. There would be a wondrous, internal and permanent change.

So as is always my way, I didn’t follow his prayer outline to the letter or even the word. Just as I can’t seem to follow a recipe as written, I cannot pray someone else’s prayer. So, I created my own inspired by the given prayer. Mine was simpler and flowed gracefully from my lips. Most importantly, I could remember it and creatively embellish it with flourishing concepts as I prayed and desired in prayer.

Divine Love fill me

Divine Love flow through me

Divine Love be me.

That’s pretty much the gist of it. So I did it, every time I remembered about it I stopped and said it. I wasn’t even sure what “Divine Love” was. It didn’t really feel like a prayer or sound like one, almost like an incantation or a spell.

I remember shortly there after things changing for me. More and more my actions, my seemingly thoughtless actions, surprised me. By “thoughtless,” I don’t mean not considerate of others. I mean I didn’t pre-think my actions and they were so amazingly thoughtful of others it was if I knew beyond my own mind how to be of the right help at the right time. I would continually say and do the right thing. “Hold on a minute,” I heard a voice inside me say, “You are surprised at your actions but haven’t you just been praying for God’s Love to flow through you and become you?” Was I? Did I? Is that what Divine Love was? I needed to know, for I had never heard it spoken of that way. Divine Love, what was it really? What was happening to me and had any other experienced such and written about it?

Growing Closer

Keep looking. Keep seeking. Keep desiring to show My “Love” for that is the “Truth” of Me. Know more. Know more Love. 

Little by little I found my way. Growing closer to God within each day.

When each is ready to hear, I Am here. Be real.

These are messages for my path, but when I read messages received by others I recognize they are my messages too.

All worth sharing.

We all get what we deserve. That’s hard to hear. Growth factor. Eye to eye faithful servant.

There are no words in “the ethers” man translates his knowings into his own language. Keep it fresh. Movie remakes. Songs rerecorded. Listen anew, self-help, Bible, Jesus, there’s more to it. It’s like the different languages.

Outer space exploration, why don’t you start investing more time to “inner space” exploration?

I have my ways. I get knowings. Truth is revealed to me. Make something from nothing, how can this be?

The “creative process.”

I ask a question and with the next breath, I have the answer.

Prayer does not change God’s mind of how to treat you. Prayer changes your mind of how you accept the Love of God, Divine Love, which is the true and complete essence of God within and around you.
