Bartholomew

KONICA MINOLTA DIGITAL CAMERA

BARTHOLOMEW is a good friend of mine.  He probably is the one who lined up my current point of spirituality.   There are 4 small books authored by Bartholomew via Mary-Margaret Moore.  The titles are I COME AS A BROTHERFROM THE HEART OF A GENTLE BROTHER, REFLECTIONS OF AN ELDER BROTHER, and  PLANETARY BROTHER .    First one published in 1985.  If you can get your hands on one of these and you are on my blog,  you will love His messages also.

Here is a random selection, page 37, from I COME AS A BROTHER:   Consider it an assignment, if you so choose.

You came to the earth plane to experience the full range of emotions and to become master of those emotions.  Mastery comes by realizing that you can choose your responses, which thoughts you pull in and what actions you bring about in your life.  And what I am suggesting to you today is that most of the thoughts that you pull in are based on the belief that there is something wrong with you, that you are not lovable, and that you have to do something in order to be loved.  And I would like to reverse that process by asking you to begin a serious, ongoing commitment to the repetition of a mantra that has never occurred to you: I love myself! In an instant you can thereby go from despondency to happiness.  Try it.  Think of a happy thought and you will be blissful.  Think of a depressing thought and you will move to unhappiness.  And here you are, just sitting in a chair!  Has anything happened to you?  Has anybody hit you?  Has anybody loved you? No! You’re simply sitting, and you find that you have the capacity to move from ‘high’ to ‘low’.  And all you do is change your thought.  You already know how to do this and you do it all the time.  If it is true that you can sit quietly and change your mood in a moment, then perhaps it is also true that you can sit quietly and say with understanding, ‘I love myself,’  and begin to feel something happen inside your being.  You will begin to feel a warmth.  It is true that there is a ‘flame’, a ‘fire’, within.  There is a chakra that ‘lights up’ through love.  It is all true.  By resting in that feeling of love for yourself, you begin to generate a warmth.  I would ask you to try, for the next month, to give yourself some time every day to simply sit and feel this.”

HO’OPONOPONO for Mother Earth / Gaia Sophia

Recently it was called to my attention a meditation for the Aral Sea.  Background: The Aral Sea is one of our many great and terrible man-made Eco-catastrophes of the past 60 years.  Diverting the upstream water source to make cotton fields, rice paddies and hydroelectric power downstream in what was before a barren desert, to now “desertify” what was before a thriving ecosystem of one of Gaia’s largest inland freshwater lakes – essentially “robbing Peter to pay Paul”.  Transferring fertility and abundance from north to south.   Eradicating Gaia’s abundance and diversity in the process because business and corporate interests are about controlling resources, not about supporting life.   Agribusiness is not about to give up its cheap Asian cotton and rice to restore nature and the tribal peoples dependent on it. China maintains an iron grip on the Tibetan plateau primarily because it is the source of 90% of Asia’s great river systems.  It is all about controlling resources.

Among the recommended directions this meditation / prayer time for the Aral Sea was to use Ho’oponopono.   Which is a great mind set for healing.

This is a Hawaiian Prayer that has been made known by Ihaleakala Hew Len.  The story behind it’s power is documented in the book ZERO LIMITS by Joe Vitale.  It boils down to  “ I AM SORRY FOR WHAT I, MY FAMILY, RELATIVES, ANCESTORS HAVE DONE IN THOUGHT WORD OR DEED to _________________________ THAT  HAS  CAUSED _____________.  I LOVE YOU,  I AM SORRY, PLEASE FORGIVE ME, THANK YOU, SO IT IS.

In my meditation for the Aral Sea; after connecting in my personal manner to source:  I think/word the following:

“I stand with my brothers and sisters at the Aral Sea, which is a demonstration of the devastation humanity has inflicted upon you, Mother Earth.  I love you, I am sorry for what I, my family, relatives, ancestors have inflicted upon you, Mother Earth, in thoughts, words, and deeds; in the present, past, future, across all time lines; that has caused disharmony to You, and all the life forms you support.  I love you, I am sorry, please forgive me, thank you.  So it is.”

THE LAST LECTURE episode 2

2013 08 14_0191Diane Sawyer interviewed Dr. Randy Pausch.   Randy Pausch – Interview Highlights – 10 Minutes – Inspirational – Meaningful – The Last Lecture .  I will quote parts of that interview that demonstrate the strength humanity can have.

“Don’t think it’s not fair.  We all stand on the dart board.  A very small percentage of us will get the dart labeled pancreatic cancer.  I was unlucky, but it wasn’t unfair.”

“Never found anger to make a situation better.  And right now I have a finite amount of time.   I can spend that time angry or I can spend that time doing something productive, and worthwhile and having fun.”

We all have a finite amount of time, only Dr Pausch knew his in detail.  Based on his guidance;  I am looking to have more productive, worthwhile, and fun time in each day.

THE LAST LECTURE

THE LAST LECTURE is a book by Randy Pausch.   I would love to be quoting this or that from the book,  but I just read it during the last 3 days that it was available to me on Kindle as a library loan.  So the text is no longer in my hands to quote.  But, it is best I don’t quote it,  you will love reading it.

Randy Pausch was a professor at Carnegie Mellon in Pittsburgh.   The University has a program asking professors to give a Last Lecture as if it were their last time on earth and what message they would impart.   Well, it was Mr Pausch’s last few months on earth by way of pancreatic cancer when unbeknownst he was asked to give the lecture.

Besides Randy Pausch telling/demonstrating how to die, he tells/demonstrates to us how to live.  The book imparts lots and lots of wisdom as one of the many documents he was leaving to guide his children when he would not be there to do so in person.

I have just listened to the actual lecture Randy Pausch Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams and think I got more out of reading the book.    Either way, his advice is a win-win.

David Icke “I AM Infinite Awareness having an experience called David Icke”

Just spent only a  1/2 hour listening to this interview of David Icke.    I loved it all, all the topics he addressed and the thoughts he presented.   However,  my favorite was at 17:30 minutes;

” I AM Infinite Awareness having an experience called David Icke.”

or how about

I AM Infinite Awareness having an experience called Theresa Geise.

or how about

I AM Infinite Awareness having an experience called   the name you ID with in 3D land.

To discover the full impact of this, listen to the background presented and the full interview.

President Obama addresses Colin Kaepernick controversy

While in China at the G20 meeting last week  Pres. Obama  gave a press conference at which he was asked about SF 49’s quarterback, Colin Kaepernick’s,  refusal to stand for the National Anthem.  Mr Kaepernick was doing so to protest racial injustice.

I felt so impressed by Pres. Obama’s answer that I have transcribed it here.   This was between 27:28 min until 30:15.   If you want to listen to the whole press conference;  the link is below.

“In terms of Mr. Kaepernick; I got to confess that I haven’t been thinking about football while I’ve been over here.  And I haven’t been following this closely, but my understanding is that at least he’s exercising his constitutional right to make a statement.  Think there’s a long history of sports figures doing so.

I think there are a lot of ways you can do it.  As a general matter, when it comes to the flag and National Anthem, and the meaning that holds for our men and women in uniform, and those who fought for us; that is a tough thing for them to get past. . .  To then hear what his deeper concerns are.

But I don’t doubt his sincerity based on what I’ve heard.  I think he cares about some real legitimate issues that have to be talked about.  And if nothing else, what he’s done is he’s generated more conversation around some topics that need to be talked about.

So, again, I hadn’t been paying close attention to it;  but you’ve heard me talk about it in the past; a need for us to have an active citizenry.  Sometimes that’s messy and controversial.  Gets people angry, frustrated.  But I’d rather have young people who are engaged in the argument and trying to think thru how they can be part of our democratic process then people who are just sitting on the side lines, not paying attention at all.

My suspicion is that over time he’s going to refine how he’s thinking about it.  Maybe some of his critics will start seeing that he has a point around certain concerns about justice and equality.  And that’s how we move forward.  Sometimes it’s messy, but it’s the way democracy works.”

12 Unexpected Ways to Make Meditation Easy and Fun

Good ideas for meditation!

Astrology

I follow Oracle Report and today’s report included “GRIEF AND LOSS REVISITED/RE-FRAMED – Mercury is retrograde (appearing to move backward in the sky) and is “revisiting” or coming back to the energetic of “a flag at half-mast in front of a public building.”  Mercury discharged this degree on August 19-20.

Since the solar new year began on 4/7/2016, I have been  keeping a  diary/journal.  So I page  back to my 8/19/16 entry and find that I pulled the Tarot card of 7 Cups  –  Debauch.  (I do not reflect via a tarot card every day, but it can be quite enlightening.)   That had the meaning of  ‘some deep disappointment has still not been resolved.’   Well, my deepest disappointment is that my husband couldn’t have been cured from cancer  The fact that I’m ALONE.

So going down the rabbit hole on that; I questioned ‘How can I change my present situation?.’  And drew another tarot card:  0 (Zero) – The Fool.  “You are ready for a new beginning, perhaps even a quantum leap.  Give in, dare to leap, even if fear attempts to hold you back.  Trust the voice from within your heart.”

Out of that I made the affirmation:  I change my inner sense of ALONEness to opportunity for personal development.

Back to today’s Oracle Report,  in reviewing my Aug 19 reflections;  I see that I had decided to study Remote Viewing to see if I could help humanity that way.  Which hasn’t progressed that well for me.  From guidance received yesterday, a better path has been indicated for me.   One I feel more in alignment with.  It is along the lines of learning to be of assistance in particular mental crisis situations.  Stay tuned to see how this works out for me.

PS  Today I even noticed a flag at a Post Office which appeared to be at half mast.

“Connecting Consciousness”

Don’t we all feel relaxation when we are able to share with like minded people.   Like having a bake sale and that comradery.    The YouTube below is the background information on the group “CONNECTING CONSCIOUSNESS” which may be a sharing outlet for you to consider.  Instead of baking cookies for a bake sale;  we are growing spiritually together and pooling our spiritual attributes for humanity.

This YouTube below is a good introduction, in my opinion, to Simon Parkes.   I belong to his group, Connecting Consciousness.   Have had Skype visit with local members and in-person visit with the group for NJ & PA.  Very supportive to share with like minded people.

His web site is http://simonparkes.wix.com/home .    He has a YouTube collection of his interviews also under ‘Simon Parkes’.

While listening to the YouTube below, I felt that we are F**Ked.   However,  it brought out the importance of doing our work NOW.   I am guilty of not doing as much as possible,  mostly because I can’t decide how (if that can be accepted as an excuse).

At the 48:55 guidance begins for solutions on the personal level (which effects the whole).  You would need to listen to the whole presentation to discover the depth of the battle (if I may describe it as such).

After getting thru this sobering YouTube, I went out to sit on Mother Earth (no chair) and while focusing on being in my heart center I used the Ho’oponopono prayer:                             “Mother Earth, I love you, I am sorry for what I, my family, my relatives, my ancestors have done that hurt you.   I am sorry, please forgive me,  I love you, thank you.” 

I have felt an attachment to Joan of Arc,  I am sorry for what (or the ‘way’) she was led by  Black Magic and the juice her torture and death gave the Black Magicians. Like it was all a big set up.   Can we see that now, and not feed anymore juice to the Black Magicians?
