HAVE FUN

That's all.
Just have fun.
Isn't that enough?

Divine Love

By: Dr Emmet Fox (1886-1951)


My soul is filled with Divine Love,
I am surrounded by Divine Love.
I radiate Love and Peace to the whole world.
I have conscious Divine Love.
God is Love, and there is nothing in existence but God and His Self-expression.
All men are expressions of Divine Love; therefore, I can meet with nothing but the expressions of Divine Love.
Nothing ever takes place but the Self-expressing of Divine Love.
All this is true now.
This is the actual case, the actual state of affairs.
I do not have to try to bring this about, but I observe it already in being now.
Divine Love is the actual nature of Being.
There is only Divine Love, and I know this.
I perfectly understand what Divine Love is.
I have conscious realization of Divine Love.
The Love of God burns in me for all humanity.
I am a lamp of God, radiating Divine Love to all whom I meet, to all whom I think of.
I forgive everything that can possibly need forgiveness-positively everything.
Divine Love fills my heart, and all is well.
I now radiate Love to the whole universe, excluding no one.
I experience Divine Love.
I demonstrate Divine Love.
I thank God for this.


Affirmations by Dr. Emmet Fox

Finders Seekers

Those with ears to hear, hear and those with eyes to see, see.

Forgive them, they know not what they do.

Seek and ye shall find.

Jesus was speaking directly to those heeding the true messages within his words. He realized that for the majority the true value of his statements would not register. Thus go in one ear and out the other. The information Jesus heralded as the "Good News" has never been meant to be secret knowledge it's just that it's value has gotten lost as error interpretations have been celebrated and taught by unknowing masses. One eventually finds whatever one is looking for. Look for peace, find peace. Look for God, find God. Find peace in God.

When one comes upon something of value, he may take no notice of it if he wasn't seeking it. Perhaps not even acknowledging it's existence. Yet one who comes upon the same thing (idea or object) and was in search of it, recognizes it's value thus treasuring what is found. The finder is delighted and shouts for joy in celebration and is anxious to share their joy with others. But unless the others were as well seeking for themselves what the finder has found they will not be able to recognize the value of the found as percieved by he seeker of such.

The joy in finding is mostly for the finder yet others will recognize the finders joy and though not percieving the value of the found will still benifit from the joy expressed and shared by the finder. The seeker/finder says "Look here, I found what I was seeking! I'm so happy! Don't you want this too? I want my happiness to be yours as well." He trys to tell in ways they can hear but their minds get in the way. They believe they know the way of the world and believe that such joy is not possible for them as yet. As it does not make sense to them they call it nonsense.

So as the seeker/finder observes the others continue to chase their tails and dig their own graves he refrains from judgement reminding himself, "they know not what they do." He who has found hopes that his continued and growing joy glows so brightly that others may take notice and ask how they as well can have such joy for themselves. Then as true seekers they will find.

Live the Good Life! Live the God Life!

divine atmosphere

I hold it as a truth, that a divine atmosphere surrounds our earth, — an aroma emitted from the world of spirit, CELESTIAL FOOTPRINTS in which dwell the great truths and secrets of the universe, - a great world that pours down viches upon us, as the sun pours down heat; and as, without the sun, this world would be hut a formless wilderness, so without this spirit-sun would it be barren of thought or beauty. Above us and around us exists a spiritual atmosphere, more subtle than the natural one. As the latter is the supporter of physical life, so the former is of psychal. We absorb the delicate magnetic aroma from all substances, through the medium of the air, as well as the comparatively coarse oxygen ; so all of our soul-life comes from this spirit atmosphere, — all thought, all feeling, all appreciation of truth and beauty. Man is the apex of earth-creation, and the basis of all heavenly life, the foundation of all spiritual existence. Starring thus in a middle plane as the highest thing of earth and the lowest of heaven, he holds magnetic relationship to both. — T. T. Watts.

It's a GIVEN

Those ideas that pop-up

out of the invisible, good ideas,

wonderful ideas, timely and fresh ideas

they are gifts.

Remember to say thank you.



I thought of you.

Above my will, I am necessitated

Color Happens



Excerpt from essay "Art" by Ralph Waldo Emerson.

      
Above his will, and out of his sight, he is necessitated, by the air he breathes, and the idea on which he and his contemporaries live and toil, to share the manner of his times, without knowing what that manner is. Now that which is inevitable in the work has a higher charm than individual talent can ever give, inasmuch as the artist's pen or chisel seems to have been held and guided by a gigantic hand to inscribe a line in the history of the human race.

Happiness pandemic hits worldwide

This was originally reported as a disease but as I know this is the way we are all meant I a have edited the text to reflect this potentially contagious condition to be one of  TOTAL EASE.  -  Deb Clemente

A worldwide epidemic is spreading worldwide with an enormous speed. The WWO (World-Wellness-Organization) foresees billions of people being infected in the coming decade.

Here are the most prominent symptoms of this extreme condition:

1- The tendency to let yourself be guided by intuition instead of acting under pressure of fear, forced ideas and past conditioned behavior.

2- A total loss of interest in judging others, judging yourself and preoccupation with things that create conflict.

3- A complete loss of the capacity to worry – This is one of the most serious symptoms.

4- A continual pleasure in appreciating humans and things the way they are, which strengthens one’s tendency not wanting to change others.

5- The desire to change yourself so that innate thoughts, feelings, emotions, body matters are managed in a way they facilitate health, creativity and love.

6- Repetitive attacks of smiling : a smile that says “thank you” and stimulates being one with all around.

OOPS - YOU CAUGHT ME SMILING....

7- A growing openness towards childishness, simplicity, laughter and happiness.

8- More frequent moments of communication with one’s soul in non-duality, that creates the pleasant feeling of fulfillment and joy.

9- Finding pleasure in acting as a healer who spreads joy and light instead of criticism and indifference.

10- The ability to effortlessly live alone, related, with family or in a community on a basis of equality, without the need to play a role as executioner or wanting to be sacrificed.

11- A feeling of responsibility and joy to offer the world one’s dreams of an abundant, harmonic and peaceful future.

12- Total acceptance of one’s own presence on earth and the will to choose each moment for what’s gracious, good, truthful and alive.

Do you want to continue living in fear, dependency, conflict, disease and conformism, then avoid at all cost people who display these symptoms, since TOTAL EASE is very contagious. If you already have these symptoms, know your condition is probably very hopeless. Medical treatment can temporarily repress the symptoms, although the progress of the disease is inevitable. There just isn’t an anti-happiness-vaccine.

Because this TOTAL EASE causes the loss of fear of death, a central pillar upon which the belief of materialistic modern-day society rests, a risk of societal turmoil with a complete loss of interest in warfare and to always be right, gatherings of happy people who sing, dance and celebrate life, emergence of people who celebrate their (physical and spiritual) healing, crises of extreme joy and collective emotional vent are at hand.

Feeling Good

  LISTEN HERE   I mean REALY LISTEN.

"Feeling Good" (aka Feelin' Good) is a song written by Anthony Newley and Leslie Bricusse for the 1964 musical The Roar of the Greasepaint—the Smell of the Crowd

Birds flying high You know how I feel Sun in the sky You know how I feel Breeze driftin' on by You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Fish in the sea You know how I feel River running free You know how I feel Blossom on a tree You know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good Dragonfly out in the sun you know what I mean, don't you know Butterflies all havin' fun you know what I mean Sleep in peace when day is done That's what I mean And this old world is a new world And a bold world For me Stars when you shine You know how I feel Scent of the pine You know how I feel Oh freedom is mine And I know how I feel It's a new dawn It's a new day It's a new life For me And I'm feeling good

SPLENDOR

Enjoy the splendor of today.

That's Just Grand Word of the Day from Visual Thesaurus splendor Several nouns in English conform to the pattern of splendor in two respects: (1) the Brits spell them ending in -our, and (2) there is a related adjective ending in -id (as here, with splendid). The sequence splend occurs also in the related adjective resplendent.  The whole lot are from Latin splendere, "shine." Splendor has moved away a bit from the literal meaning of shine but basks in the figurative sense of it: the quality of being grand and magnificent.

Do you know what today is?

It’s a fresh start.

You can take it with you.

We’ve all heard it again and again. That when you leave this life you can’t take it with you. All the stuff one busies their earth time  accumulating stays behind. Not one dollar, boat or business continues forth.

With the understanding that we  are spiritual beings having a human experience we know that our physical-ness also stays. The body that has been our constant partner in this earth life experience stays behind. With all our magnificent life force depleted from it withers and dies it’s own death. So because we don’t take our physical body into this new spiritual dimension we are free of it. Free of all physical pain and limitations but that doesn’t  necessarily mean we leave all pain and limitations behind.

There is something we do take, all of our soul self. The exact same soul that inhabits your body the moment before your heart ceases to beat is the exact same soul that you continue eternity with. It is now my understanding that what has been spoken of as Heaven is a state of consciousness which each one of us spiritual beings has the ability to enjoy whether we have skin on or not. Heaven is the conscious experience of a higher evolution of one’s soul. Does that mean “Heaven on Earth”. No. This wonderful state of consciousness is not earth bound.

Considering the idea that Heaven can be reached before the moment of physical death and that we continue on as spiritual beings with the same soul condition as we enjoyed or didn’t enjoy during our earth years. It should be understood that whatever level of spiritual evolution we each individually attain while inhabiting our physical body that will be the same level of spiritual evolution continue on with.

Here’s another idea that might throw you a bit.  Our consciousness is not our brain. Even though our brain will die and our heart will stop we we still be conscious. Each of us will have the opportunity to verify this when our heart stops and our loved ones grieve our loss. It will not be our loss at that time. It will only be theirs. For we will feel complete, whole, deliciously conscious and limitless.

The limitlessness I speak of is freedom from any physical boundaries but that doesn’t necessarily mean an eternal existence without limitations. Have you hear of limiting beliefs? You get to take those that are yours with you. In fact all the mental baggage you own is yours to keep forever and ever.

So I’m finally getting to my point here which is to “clean house” before you move. I recently made a physical move from one home to another and in preparation I made a conscious effort to work on clearing out my accumulated junk.  It was an effort inspired by my desire to make my present house look as attractive as possible to potential buyers as well as to make sure that I wasn’t moving any crap. I remember stepping back and admiring my slimmed down and organized linen closet. Wow, I’d love to live in a place like this I thought. Then I hit me. I did and I could. I cleared out the crap that cluttered my home a whole year before I actually moved so I got to enjoy the “heaven” I created right then and there. When the time came for our move, I moved what I had then.

It also happens to be that I’ve been doing quite a bit of spiritual housekeeping, throwing out tons of limiting beliefs. In the process each day I see more and more of the “Light of Heaven” and thank God.
