7/3/2008 - A Timely Reminder

The Window of Opportunity Is Always Open - Abraham-Hicks

Sometimes physical beings will say, "Well, I'm afraid that I've missed my opportunity. I wanted it, but my window (of opportunity) open but I wasn't there for it and so my window closed." And we say that window is always open. You may close it for a moment, but it opens right up again. In other words, the Universe never stops hearing you and never stops answering you. You are deserving beyond our ability to find words to explain. And it is your job to find yourself in that place of letting it in.

Now we know that a feeling of worthiness does let it in. And we know that there are many of you who, for whatever reason, decided that you're not worthy, and that might be (a) reason that you're not letting it in. But we think it is the predominant reason. We think that there are about 2,000 things that you're doing every day that you haven't been aware that you are doing that you think is all right to do because "after all, it's true!"

You see? And as you come to recognise that even though it's 'true', doing it, saying it, feeling it is holding yourslef - deliberately or not - in the place of not letting yourself be in the receiving mode of the very things that you're asking for, and the slightest little adjustment will begin to cause avalanches of stuff you've been asking for to flow into your experience.

We are not just talking about material manifestations... We're also talking about clarity in the moment or the sensation of vitality. We're talking about a feeling of awareness, a feeling of being in the moment. We're talking about saying the right thing at the right time. We're talking about being intuitive so that you know what freeway to take, so that you sense whether there's a blockage somewhere... We're talking about being so in sync with who you really are that you have broader view flowing through you at all times, so that you are the fully-blossomed Nonphysical energy in human form that you have come forth here to be.

4/3/2008 - EXPECT A WONDERFUL SURPRISE

Well, it has been fascinating... First the flooding, and weeks of incessant rain. Talk about feeling soggy in the brain!!! Yet, our drought is broken, our dam is 100% full for the first time ever and we have more rain clouds about.

I remember someone saying, "actually, this is what the weather was like 20 years ago," and then surprise of all surprises I saw three different species of frogs, two of which I had not seen in a long, long time. This little critter was one. Even more surprising, cane toads were nowhere to be seen and here where I live they used to be a pest.

So maybe it is in our subtle perceptions of the world around us, that we are able to perceive change and not necessarily looking for them in the BIG things all the time, though these happen as well.

Today, on a whim of total "outrageous joy" I sent an email to all my friends and simply wrote:

"Expect a wonderful surprise. Just call me the oracle... fun isn't it???"  I hope you get the intent and may your awareness and life be filled with manna from the heavens of all things "good".

28/2/2008 - Acres of Diamonds Exist Within You

The photo was received via an email "Nature's Best Pics". Absolutely stunning photography. I also learnt something about birds in flight, they do turn their heads and look at each other.

What really "awed" me tonight was the quote I received from Abraham-Hicks, it is literally like listening to myself. Here it is:

"The only problem with leaving and going someplace else is that you take yourself with you. You take your vibrational haibts and patterns with you."

Now, how many times have I felt like leaving and I reflect upon all the other times I have left somewhere for "someplace better" only to find that it is the same as what I was trying to run away from. So these days, I imagine, I dream, because they are the gifts of wings that my Soul offers me but I leave "the when and how" to the universe, trusting that it will happen when all other considerations are in order and I "really am ready" to receive and enjoy that which I am dreaming of, that which I am looking forward to enjoying and thriving in.

Blessings "Acres of Diamonds Exist Within You" not someplace else.

27/2/2008 - Across The Universe

This story was sent to me via a friend who recently had to say good bye to her canine companion of the past 15 years. A friend she valued and loved deeply. I hope you enjoy the story.

"John Lennon felt Across the Universe was one of his best songs. Ealier this month, it was broadcast, literally 'across the universe'. Nasa scientists played it through an X-band, deep space transmitter. If there are intelligent life forms near the North Star they will soon be hearing the distinctive chorus 'Jai Guru Deva, Om...' These Sanskrit words were once taught to the Beatles in India by the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Coincidentally on the same day his message was shared with the entire cosmos, the elderly Maharishi sat in meditation one last time and peacefully left his body forever."

There are so many aspects of this short story that spark inspiration in various directions. Yet, the one that feels like it is speaking to me right now is the one about death... "the elderly Maharishi sat in meditation one last time and peacefully left his body forever."

I am a believer in the possibility that if we "really, really wanted to" we could live forever in the same body - call me a fruit cake, call me whatever you like - names only hurt me if I choose to let them. I am aware, though, that there are quite possibly other realms of learning beyond this physical body and if there are not that doesn't worry me either. I really don't mind just dissolving into zillions of atoms that circulate around the universe.

Call it morbid, call it whatever you like, yet, for quite a number of years now, when I contemplate dying, my own death, I look upon it like I would as if I was preparing for a holiday that would satisfy the very core of my Being.

I look at all the alternatives around death that I have learnt to date. I could choose to die of cancer or some other such illness, I could choose to turn senile and live out however many years of my life in some "la la land" that isn't always pleasant or I could choose like Mahesh Yogi to sit in meditation and let my spirit leave my body consciously.

Well, this sounds like a pretty beautiful way to exit this planet and that is one of my options for exiting this planet, either when I have had enough or it is my time to leave.

I do not spend all day every day dwelling upon this subject. It only happens when the subject of death enters my realm of awareness, or when I become aware of the ephemeral and ultimately meaningless nature of life in the larger scheme of things.

The things we make important, yes they are important. It is necessary to create meaning for our lives otherwise life loses its lustre, its magic, its wonder and awe.

We can be thrown dice, lessons to learn or we can choose the lessons we prefer to learn.  We can even choose how we want to learn them, some people like to learn through feeling like they have "earned" their right to their dream or desire. Others realise that "actually my desires are being answered right now, I just have to see them as being here right now." 

So in relation to contemplating my death, I do feel I can choose how I want to exit this planet. So the above story is one way I have seen that feels desirable the other is this - when it is my time to go. I want to die laughing. Can you imagine that universe sounding forth uncontrollable mirth, laughter and bliss beyond what I can find words for?

2/2/2008 - The Truth Is Simplicity

 This is another treasure from Eileen's Weekly Guidance. I just happened to be thinking a day or so before about "simplicity" and what a gift that is and next you know, there it is, received in my inbox.

"The hallmark of truth is simplicity. It is My hallmark, printed indelibly on everything that is of Me. Look at the beauty and simplicity of nature. Drink it in and give eternal thanks for it, accept the wonder and simplicity and stop trying to work everything out with your mind until you lose all the enjoyment of it. Keep it simple. Become as little children, let life be simple and straightforward so that you can really enjoy it, for life is there to enjoy. It is a gift from Me."

What more is there to say, except simplicity RULZ and it ROCKZ!!!
