"We believe we are hurt when we don't receive love. But that is not what hurts us. Our pain comes when we do not give love. We were born to love. You might say that we are divinely created love machines. We function most powerfully when we are giving love. The world has led us to believe that our well-being is dependent on other people loving us. But this is the kind of upside down thinking that has caused so many of our problems. The truth is our well-being is dependent on our giving love. It is not about what comes back; it is about what goes out!" Alan Cohen, Inspirational Author and Speaker

Bizarre Trance

Today I heard an old familiar sound. It seized me, enveloped me like some mask bandit. I said "what are you saying", as it whizzed by my head. I would not grab hold. I refuse to. Why should I? Should I let these sounds change who I am? Only bold is my might. The plan is written. Why should I care? I am Blessed.

Military Blames UFO Reports on Jet Drills

FORT WORTH, Texas (Jan. 23) - So much for aliens in Texas dairy country. At least that was the message Wednesday when the military said 10 F-16 fighter jets were training in the Stephenville area the night dozens of residents reported seeing a UFO. ANOTHER HOT AIR BALLOON?
More than 50 residents of Stephenville, Texas, reported seeing a large, silent, fast-moving object hovering over their rural town in early January. I nitially, the military said it didn't have any planes in the area, but later officials claimed that F-16 fighters were training around that time.

As for me, I am rich and blessed and a successful dreamer of Atmospheric muse.

MOON-MARS CONJUNCTION

All the talk is about tomorrow night's conjunction of the Moon and Mars. It's easy to spot. Just look for the Moon and you'll see Mars just below it to the left. In some parts of the world, people will actually see the Moon eclipsing the red planet. As the Moon (symbol of people power) passes in front of the war planet, those who wish for peace gain a rare chance to exert their influence. Soon, somewhere on this earth, a sorry conflict is about to resolve.
So lets send out the PEACE banner of LIGHT Tonight!

Another Awakened Night

What is this waking up and feeling like I can't eat and I can't sleep? When in fact I do and quite easily. What is this feeling of love and longing in my heart? Is the Universe trying to give me something I am not open for? Should I just ask? Who shall I talk to about this? How is that possible when there is no one around to do that with? Questions, questions, ok I am waiting? You know who the love is for. You embrace it daily. Yeah and why don't I respond? You do. It is always in you. You know about it. To live it is another thing. Most humans have a problem with this. Be kind to yourself. Don't turn on yourself because of it. It will all work itself out into the world of Light on another awakened night. I do love you Phi.

Strange New Beginnings

New Year Stories

Spending time in bed with the sniffles and propped up leg pain and knee sprain and falling and car colliding. Now this is what I call a New Year. If it is anything like last year, it should mean it will be good. Last year, I met the coolest guy and we danced and a lot of other things. I figured now this is going to be the best year ever. Well, Not only didn't I never hear from him again, It was the last good time I had on a personal or intimate level. So I figure this new years eve, being so lull in nature, it should be quite an eventful and exciting year..Believe me I know what I am talking about. I come from a long line of Soothsayers. As Betty Davis and Steve Martin would say, " Fastin your seat belts it's going to be a wild and crazy year". After all Marianne Williamson says we are in "The Age of Miracles". We can all use a few big ones. What do you Say? Photo from http://www.cainer.com/

The Bigger Picture

Truly, life is immortal. There is no beginning and no end
Every now and then, when I feel myself starting to get a little restless, I ponder the bigger picture for awhile. The first thought that usually comes to mind is that this Earthly existence is but one reality out of an infinite number of realities I could have chosen to take part in. Then I think that out of all the possible scenarios available to me, this one is just about as interesting and exciting as it gets.
What other place could I have entered as innocent and helpless as this one? Where else could I find the beauty and diversity of Beings as are here on the Earth? And where else offers the challenges which, according to the Mayan Calendar, include not only a total shift in this lifetime in the way humanity thinks and acts, but also a much larger shift in the whole cosmos that is almost unimaginable in its breadth and scope? Truly, we sit on the cusp of an age where anything can happen!
I don't know about you, but I feel very grateful to be here. Even when things aren't going my way, I look around and can't help but think what a beautiful place this is and how amazing it is that I get to be here at this time to unravel the wondrous mysteries of life.
"Once we've taken heart and learned to trust in our power, the next step is to stretch our imagination and know that we can create anything that we can think of. When we go beyond the bounds of our old, consensus reality, whole new realms open up before us. We can have leaders who are kind and beneficent; we can clean our air and water in a matter of days; we can enjoy free energy, free food, free shelter, free everything! A life of total comfort is available to anyone who is willing to shed their old thinking processes."
From The Highest Light Teachings
My Intention for today is:
I Intend that I feel blessed to be here.
From: Intenders Bridge series

Stretching for change

Even though we know it is time for change, we linger and wait to see if change is really happening. "Like the song, "Waiting for the world to change". We look to one another for whatever it is we need from one another. Yet, deny ourselves what we really know is true. How can I show up and keep on pretending it is all right? I am tired. I give up. The world is going to be the way it is going to be. One person cannot make that much difference. Yet we are foolish and believe it would.

New Moon

New Moon on the horizon on Tuesday. Here is wishing for New Beginnings for all my Loved Ones....My intimate family and my extended family.

I am sure glad this past week is over. Colds Suck! Except for Micky Shor's going away party, which was so nice to see old friend's and meet up with new faces. The new ones with Eyes from my planted clan who ignited the spark of recognition to say hello. Yes there are new faces who know us out there. If only in passing it feeds and calls the soul to come forth...

New Moon faces the future with compassion and gratefulness. The Universe always supplies your needs. You only have to ask.

IOWA WHYA

HOLY MOLEY ANDY! Well do you really think they will let a Woman or an African American be President? I would like to think so. If not who are we left with? A Republican. oy...this Iowa thing a come on? Please...we are going to have a whole year of this...Hopefully someone comes forth to save us, that is my prayer. And like Lily Tomlin would say, "And that's the Truuuuth!"

In 1907

Marijuana, heroin, and morphine were all available over the counter at the local corner drugstores. Back then pharmacists said, "Heroin clears the complexion, gives buoyancy to the mind, regulates the stomach and bowels, and is, in fact, a perfect guardian of health." ( Shocking? DUH! )

How far do you think we have come, drug wise?

I am riding out my cold without drugs, thank you very much. Although all the commericals are tempting.

60 and up

What will the 2008 bring? I would like to think it will be the best ever. That is who I am inside. Outside filled with age and the ageless time wrapped up in a cocoon of light, floating in an ocean of dreams. Continuing to value the moment and gathering along the path chosen. For the given path is a lonely one. Who is left to understand? The language of the silent fusion of the young heart longings? Of times past, long gone yet still lingering as if in a package with all the rest of the clan who came here, together; To witness and support the futile dreams and visions of truth. Who will say, "It is all right"? "You will be fine". Surely, there is more of our clan we have yet to meet and know the depth of our voyage. At least that is my hope. If not then, maybe we must step up and not look back. Trust in what is given, be the free soul we always dreamed we could be, without the "If". Just be grateful. Of course.

Happy Solstice

A Christmas Comet

Did you know there is a comet in the skies in the Northeast area of the sky. It has been there since December 14th. Could it be the same kind of star that the wise men seen way long ago. Well it is happening again. Shall we think perhaps another great Avatar is being born on this planet, in this New Age? I will like to be around when he or she begins the mission. Will we be aware or enlightened enough to recognize the truth when it is revealed? At least take note and pass it on to your children. I believe your children's, children will be more aware of the presence.

Eye of the Storm

OK I am brain dead. Two days in my apartment...I never should have turned on the TV..The day started off nice this morning. Opera playing, snow falling, sitting by my front window, a cup of Tea and a good book, "The Shape of Love", by Masaru Emoto. Well it is more about Water. Did you know that If you had two tuning forks and you tapped A Fork and stopped it's vibration, you would find B fork continuing the vibration. Then stop the B fork, the A fork will continue to vibrate. Energy and Vibration. Photographs of crystal water changes form, when certain thoughts are focused on it. We are water and come from, comets in the Universe. You will have to read it. Again Energy and vibration and water mix.....fixed myself a nice breakfast, well it looked like a mess, mash..I have never mastered eggs..but it tasted good. My mistake was turning on the TV...I have been hypnotised. I fell asleep a couple of times..I woke up to "Edgar Cayce story". Cleaned the apt. up and thought I should eat again. Still watching tv. Fell asleep again. oy vay. More TV. Maybe I am a sleeping prophet, with no questioner or no one taking dictation. So I will never know. I think I will go to bed. This A tuning fork has stopped but B fork vibrates in my sleeping nap dreams. Nite,nite.

It's a Wonderful Life

Why is it we cannot help watching this film, year after year? It always reminds me of a warm Chalet in the Catskill Mountains. The winter of 1993, the whole family on Christmas Eve, all cozy sitting around watching it, as if for the first time. Frank Sinatra music was also playing in the background. As I was recording on my video camera all the old past family photos I had on the walls. Our last Christmas we were all together. I have this moment on film somewhere. "Yes it was a wonderful life". Such a great memory of the love and peace we all felt that night, it still lives in my heart.

Ages Now or Ages Ago?

More dates for the Age of Aquarius
Dear Jonathan,Your colleague suspects we have been in the Age of Aquarius since the fall of Constantinople. The books I read suggest 1987 was the time of change. The Sixties' hippies were 'early'. And if Jesus ushered in a 2,000-year Piscean era, the Aquarian age can only be starting now.Mary

Dear Mary, Christianity notwithstanding, I've long argued against the mooted date of 2046. My money's on the 1780s, when the first hot-air balloons flew. 1453 is a new one on me, as is 1987. But whenever the the New Age kicks in, we will know it.
Taken from Jonathon Cainer.com
What do you think about the New Age? Is it here and now?
Your Metaphysics says; Well 1987 sounds about right to me. Since The Age of Aquarius, is the Age of "I Know!" Consciousness. With PC Computers coming in big time around that time. Nothing seems to be hidden anymore. The Piscean Age, was the "I Feel" Consciousness. Spiritually we are finally understanding the Teachings that were given by the Piscean Age. Thus, "I Know" consciousness seems to have taken over. What do you think?
Vessel of Water pouring down upon us,
Phi
miss maro says
i have to agree with your hypothesis. but maybe we're in "i know i feel something but maybe not" consciousness?

Holiday Blues

Not feeling too inspired lately..Those holiday blues have set in. Just have to ride it out. Have a drink and toast those who have come and gone. They have left you joy and tears and a growing desire to praise and honor them. If you were to really look, you could see them standing right next to you especially when you're thinking of them. I was told many years ago in a meditation, first it will come on a machine (computers) to see its manifestation, then you will be able to see without it....vibrating and being able to view it like a hologram with our god given eyes. This may be very much a part of our evolvement as a species. My late husband use to say "Science fiction becomes real. We create with the mind stuff and then it manifests in the physical world." So think good thoughts, enjoy the spirits and the ones who stand beside you while riding out the holiday blues.

Our Home Party

It was great seeing everyone at Oncology Support Holiday Pot Luck. Of course the playback players were great as usual. There were some very important messages. There is a lot of work to be done; so many going through hard times and still willing to live strong and true. There is joy and sadness, both sides of the same coin, are magnified and supported by each other. Makes one want to escape and get drunk. Yeah ok, so I am not very strong in the face of what is happening. I put on a happy face. But hey the human element is weak and unsure. What is there then one can say here? That's Life? No! Rather the compassion that is stimulated moves us to continue to contribute in whatever way our gifts can, now that is living Life. My heart is filled with all of you.

Strange, it seemed to have happened suddenly. There I was in the midst of some kind of new space. Where trails of loss once were, now the space was filled.. Music, simular, chills and such...familiar ...personal...engaging...am I imagining this? Is it some kind of third kind lapse?....I have those you know. If it is real, then I must say, wow this is new.... cool....I am glad....it has been so long since the night has given way to the noon day sun.

Contemplation

"So much of our lives are unwritten yet stored in the deep dark shadows of our forgotten streams, waiting for us to recognize the brilliance of the truth we may bare witness too".
Don't ask me what it is I am saying....It just comes....could be past lives or streams of consciousness, however you might view it. As I reread these verses I write. I myself am surprised. Perhaps they are to help one move deeper into unknown areas of our being or toward the center that encompasses the whole. Although, I would like to think it has its own personal meaning for everyone who reads them. I serve to inspire.

The Field of Consciousness

The field works as a whole.

It correlates distant events instantly.

It remembers all events.

It exists beyond time and space.

It creates entirely within itself.

Its creation grows and expands in an evolutionary direction.

It is conscious.

"Life After Death", Deepak Chopra

Endless re-created Universe

Without death there can be no present moment, for the last moment has to die to make the next one possible. There can be no present love, for the last emotion has to die to make a new one possible. There can be no present life, for the old cells in my body have to die to make new tissue possible. This is the miracle of creation, which in every second is one thing: Life and death joined in an eternal dance.
To touch the silence of your being, you become the witness.
Rabindranath Tagore said it so movingly.

When I was born and saw the light
I was no stranger in this world
Something inscrutable, shapeless, and without words
Appeared in the form of my mother.

So when I die, the same unknown will appear again
As ever known to me,
And because I love this life
I will love death as well.
from book "Life After Death" Deepak Chopra

Searching Cyberspace

What about the plan? What about meeting in these times? From long long ago, to assist one another on the path toward Awareness and our Truth? How do we abandon these things that was set before we came here. I know I cannot. I will linger as long as I am able. Then when I no longer can. I will think of you and remember the enchantment of bringing the depths of my true self to the surface for my heart and peacefully say, it was all worth it.

Can it be then this searching is only of myself who got lost somewhere in time. Perhaps you know me better then I myself. I know you better then you do. Or maybe I truly do live in illusions. All of you out there, who are you? You are me and I am you. I find myself in you. The part of me who will never be. The shame is the unwillingness to cross the boundaries. What are we afraid of? That we might find ourselves? Our freedom is at stake. So Dream and love and create a better world. That is our greatest purpose. What else is there that we can do here? Feel free to comment.

Birthday Party Boy

He was very calm before his friends arrived. Then they all came at the same time, all 9 boys and one girl. It was total chaos. The sound level was in need of ear plugs. It freaked him out at first, I am sure because he was trying to figure out how he was going to control his posse. He finally gave in and enjoyed the ride. It only lasted 1 1/2 hours, which seemed like 5...yep he is 5 now....he told me I was beautiful, I swear this kid is a genius. haha...Big Lou, Grandma adores you.

Improv Healing Circle

Barbara, Bobbie, Mickie, Moira, Pat, Carol and I.
Tonight we experienced the first magical moments in our whole career as visiting Earth Angels...We encountered the most profound Angel of all. Who brought us to our knees in all humility and praises for having touched our lives. She came upon us, as we came upon her and met us with the most precious spirit of the Divine. She revealed to us her reverent plan and we listened to the trumpets blaring and Angels singing, as we stood there, our knees weak in this wondrous amazing Light. We listened as her son praised and supported her life and all she gave to him and his sister. Many of us have seen her on more then one occasion, with a warm smile and grateful for all her blessings. Tonight her words solemn and True the value of her awakening Truth. Her stone the example of her high vibration the "Amethyst". Her son green "Adventurine", sign of the Healer, heart center and her daughter a "White Heart" pure and loving. There is no other way I can share this experience.
Barbara Sarah gave us the greatest example of social work I have ever encountered.

We may not be alone

Once, all heavenly bodies had poetic names. These days, it's a bit dry. The amazing, exploding comet in the North East each evening, for example, is 17P Holmes. 41 light years further away, there's a star called 55 Cancri. These are not exotic titles but the objects they represent are pretty special. 55 Cancri has several planets orbiting it and though none, yet, has turned out to be 'Earth like', a new discovery now makes it more likely that a world like our own may soon be found. Perhaps the comet portends proof, at last, that we are not alone.

Simple words are my way of seeing the simple ways.

Moonglow travels the cycles of every living beam.

And in conclusion vast areas are covered without a sign.

Sundays Bike Ride

We went to the Ferncliff Forest in Rhinebeck, bike in hand, riding and pushing up to the tower. One mile and 5 total...there and back. Took 17 minutes...average speed 6 miles an hour, peak was 14 miles an hour. Took 16 minutes to climb up and 1 minute to come down...Which the ride down was worth the climb up..oow weee. Flying down the rocky rough leaf covered path. Ok we are the thrill seekers. haha. We also met up with other outdoors people from our little corner of Kingston. Diane, Kathy and several other hikers.
Then we decided to continue somewhere behind Super 8, path to 209...well this was another challenging experience. rough and narrow bumpy path that was only 4 miles there and back, but felt like 10 ....Another experience once completed, will never have to do again. We are a narily group of thrill seekers. Purnima was initiated and now we can just cruise onto widely used rail trails....
The whole afternoon was only 3 hours of new and untried trails....We were young again for a while...Till now as I care for my aching body.....Still it was worth it. Diana, Purnima and I...are 3 different spices....who supported one another on the trails of life.
Yeah! Philly

All the signs are there, embrace the lighter side and ride, ride, ride. For to soon it will all be gone all this unknown glitter that feeds and supports our quests for adventure.

I try to understand but the silent bow bends and the arrow flies pass into the unknown.

Dia De Los Muertos All Souls Day Too

By celebrating those who came before you, you celebrate your part in the cycle of birth, death and rebirth. Honoring those who made your life possible is a wonderful way to acknowledge our debt to death.

Life is But a Dream
What do you think? In Mexico, today is Dia De Los Muertos (or Day of the Dead). This two-day event honoring those who have passed on, dates back 3,000 years - but it almost didn't survive the Spanish settlers! The problem? Instead of fearing death, the indigenous people of Mexico embraced it. To them, life was a dream and only in death did they become truly awake. Unable to quiet the revelers, the new Spanish government eventually compromised and the festivities were moved to November 1 and 2 to coincide with the Catholic All Saints and All Souls Day celebrations.Are you fully awake in your life?
