thanks, rhythm :-)
oh, rhythm, it is for all the wise ones i am here... now :-) one of my favorite women introduced to me "here and now"-as if we can be introduced to this other world... as i like to call it... it makes sense to me since i seem to have always sort of lived on the cusp of it... but have not found my way in... oh the parallel universes... :-) she was a writing therapist from england and i keep thinking i will find her here... ha. really... i know some of you here- at least one- have taken this very class and in a university too, which is soooo uplifting.... it was for me... talk about a paradigm shift- it was more of a validation- this is why it changed my life... it was this one little thing that shifted a lot for me... helped me shift a lot of things... but i quickly lost my path as fast as i found it... how often i am sure many of us have done this... but to have even tapped into this knowledge for a second is more than anything... and in fact a few of the women i 'met' there seemed to tap into even more with me... which was even more intriguing at times... i'll be back...
thanks thanks thanks... these pictures are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stars in my eyes Quote:

Re: Be here NOW
There comes a time when all outer forms, words, and things of existance outside of us cease to hold
any importance. All that remains outside of ourselves fall away as we come back to the true essence we have always carried within. This essence can be likened to a lighthouse that shines though the darkness, beckoning all to follow it's radiance to safety. So too do we hold this same radiance within, beckoning us unceasingly to follow it's soothing rays of to a magical place we all hold inside. May you always listen and heed your inner light's calling and truth amidst the many illusions of this world. It is your lighthouse as you travel through your life. It will guide you through storms, rocky shores and rough waters to a place of peace, joy, and the highest truth there is.......................your truest self." |

Re: Be here NOW
Fear is the tool of the negative or dark forces. Faith is the tool of the positive or light forces. Fear can be hard to overcome just as, in many cases, faith can be hard to achieve and then maintain.
From humanity's earliest days we have been a prey to fear. Fear of wild animals, fear of thunder storms, fear of having no food, fear of being without companions and the strongest fear of all - the unknown. Humans have a very active imagination and fear can be used to manipulate this imagination. Religion was invented to control our fears and to control our behavior. Used in a positive way it endeavored to teach us how to love and care for each other and to live in harmony. It also tried to explain the unexplainable by attributing it to God's whim. Used in a negative way, it induced fear of God as a jealous and possessive force, and the leaders of religion used fear as a way to induce fear and respect from the masses. These leaders used fear to advance their own interests. To attain faith, you may need to have the support of a true friend, (of which there are many here in this branch of the Avalon family) and to learn to trust their judgment even if it goes against what you currently believe. With faith, comes self confidence, and once you achieve self confidence, the world, as they say, is your oyster. Concentrate on thinking positive, good, healing thoughts and after a while these will become a natural way of thinking for you. Thoughts have a very powerful energy to them and as many of us know without doubt, we create our own individual futures by the tone of our thoughts. Negative thoughts will give us a negative future while positive thoughts will bring us happiness and contentment. A sure way to encourage positive energies to oneself is to think of a beam of light. Take your favorite color and think of it as having a powerful positive, loving energy to it. As you keep this positive aspect in your mind, you will find the light becoming stronger. Like a fire, once it is lit it needs a little attention at first to keep it going. After a while it will become self sustaining. Once you have achieved this state, any time you start to feel fear, just "switch" this light on to flood your world with love and light. The fear will evaporate back into the thin air where it came from. Peace and love to all. |

Re: Be here NOW
Hey Rhythm, great thread, its bringing the best out in everybody. I can't wait to meet you Brinty face to face, you're the man.
To tell you something about myself, i was a very angry man. Self employed, sarcastic, grumpy etc. Got into meditation, changed my life. Changed careers and now i looooove goingto work. I ooze love for everybody, Sounds funny but anybody that has known me for more than 5 years knows iam a different person. AT work, they call me the battery ( amongs other nick names) full of energy. I have helped other drivers get through very tough times including the death of a spouse, severe depression, etc. Its all about love, loving you are, caring for your fellow man. Using the gift of life to share with others. I have become a different person. Even i am confortable with myself. Meeting more avalonians has been a godsend for me. Wonderful caring people. I think i am off topic, but hey, its all about sharing. Henry

Re: Be here NOW
Cre8tion Sooooo Sweeeet
[I]A CHILD brought to its mother a piece of ice and asked: "What is this?" The mother answered, "it is ice." Again the child asked, "What is there in ice?" The mother answered: "There is water in the ice." The child desired to find the water in the ice, and it procured a hammer, pounded the piece of ice into little bits and the warm air soon changed all the ice to water. The child was grievously disappointed, for the ice that the child supposed contained water had disappeared. And the child said, "Where is the ice that contained this water?" And so it came to pass that the mother was compelled, by the child's persistent questions, to say, "ice is all water; there is no such thing as ice; that which we call ice is crystalized or frozen water." The child understood. A student brought to his teacher some water and asked, "What is water? What does it contain?" The teacher answered, "Water contains oxygen and hydrogen," and then explained how the two gases might be separated and set free by heat. The student boiled the water until all of the molecules of oxygen and hydrogen had been set free, but he was surprised to find that all of the water had disappeared. Then the student asked of the teacher, "Where is the water that held the gases that have escaped?" Then was the teacher compelled by the student's persistent questions to answer, "Water itself is the product of oxygen and hydrogen. Water does not contain anything other than these gases. In reality, there is no such substances or fluid as water; that which we name water is a rate of motion set in operation by the union of two parts of hydrogen with one part of oxygen and, of course, the phenomenon disappears when the union of the gases is broken." The student understood. A devout scientist presented himself before God and said, "Lord, what are these gases men call oxygen and hydrogen?" The good Lord answered and said, "They are molecules in the blood and body of the universe." Then spake the scientist, "Lord, wilt thou tell me of the kind of molecules that compose Thy blood and body?" The Lord replied, "These same molecules, gases or principles, compose my blood and body; for I and the universe are one and the same." Once again the scientist said, "My Lord, may I ask, then, what is spirit and what is matter?" And thus answered the Lord: "As ice and water are one, and the gases and water are one, so is spirit and matter one. The different phases and manifestations cognized by man in the molecules of My body—that is, the universe—are caused by the Word; thus, they are My thoughts clothed with form." Now the scientist felt bold, being redeemed from fear, and asked "is my blood, then, identical with Thy blood in composition and Divine Essence?" And the Lord said, "Yea, thou art one with the Father." The scientist now understood and said: "Now mine eyes are opened and I perceive that, when I eat, I partake of Thy body; when I drink, I drink of Thy blood; and when I breathe, I breathe Thy spirit." So-called matter is Pure Intelligence and nothing else— because there is not anything else. Pure intelligence cannot progress or become better. There is nothing but Intelligence. Omnipresence, Omnipotence, Omniscience must mean Intelligence; therefore these terms are all included in the word] EYE T [/I Last edited by 777 The Great Work; 03-19-2009 at 11:22 AM. |

Re: Be here NOW
Do you make the mistake of confusing the inner
with the outer and the outer for the inner ? What is inside you , you project onto the wold outside you. You feel hungry , and then suddenly the worl is starving. What is outside you , you internalize to be in you . Its a cloudy day, and you think your supposed to feel moody. you can create the beginingof a new life when you look for the sourse of things within rather than outside your self.... hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ..... |
