A Life of Separateness

which is physical life is but an illusion ..... a phantasmagoria, 
like clouds, form and melt away .... 

Its this simple ...

What makes a relationship?

Exactly how I would put it too ....

Feeeelllllllll ....

I love me !

Yessss

Life takes its own time

When I look at life from the outside looking in
I realize that I am called to play my part the best
I can with what I have. I see that the part I play
is just a participation with many others playing
their parts. There is no responsibility, ownership
or importance in any of these roles. Life happens
and we are called to respond to life and to the 
need at hand. I see it as a role play without need
for emotions and ownership. I see an impersonal
detachment at this higher level. Like watching a
movie in pantomime. This I want to emulate at
the personality level which is wrought with such
emotions, pain and needless suffering for what I
can just call the vicissitudes of life. We suffer 
because we identify with the events of life and 
we want to order and change and direct life but
Life is directed from higher levels - perhaps we
call this Destiny? or God? The stance to take in
all life events especially involving those close 
to us is that of how we attend to the bereavement
of others, understanding their sorrow yet quite
detached ourselves as we go through the motion
of rituals and rites. We stand as witnesses, as 
Observers, neutral yet with a deep empathy but
somehow untouched. This is the stance to take in
our own lives and life events. Thus do we achieve
mastery over our lower self and lower nature.

CLEAN YOUR KIDNEYS
Years pass by and our kidneys are filtering the blood by removing 
salt, poison and any unwanted entering our body. With time, the salt 
 accumulates and this needs to undergo cleaning treatments and how 
are we going to overcome this?
It is very easy, first take a bunch of parsley or Cilantro ( Coriander 
Leaves ) and wash it clean
Then cut it in small pieces and put it in a pot and pour clean water 
and boil it for ten minutes and let it cool down and then filter it and 
pour in a clean bottle and keep it inside refrigerator to cool.
Drink one glass daily and you will notice all salt and other accumulated 
poison coming out of your kidney by urination also you will be able to 
notice the difference which you never felt before.
Parsley (Cilantro) is known as best cleaning treatment for kidneys and 
it is natural!

FAITH

HAVE FAITH; HAVE FAITH; HAVE FAITH 
THAT IT WILL ALL WORK OUT RIGHT
NOT AS YOU INTEND; BUT AS IT WOULD BE 

YOU ARE BEING CALLED TO HAVE FAITH
Not hinder ! by your lack of faith; this lack spews out
through your thoughts and emotions which are
negative creations. What is trying to unfold needs
positivity; so hold on to your faith and be positive 
that you may not hinder the process with your negativity 
which results from a lack of faith. Therefore your lack
of faith is working against what you truly want and 
manifests what you don't want. So let not your heart's
desire not manifest for want of a little faith even if 
only a mustard seed sized, a gram of faith. For as the 
Christ said, Faith is the evidence of things hoped for and 
the substance of things not seen. 
So too have faith in others and in God that the highest 
good DOES manifest in all our lives. 
Let go of your fears and expectations and just have 
FAITH  that things will turn out all right and right for
self and others.

Allowing The Grief
Instead of suppressing the feelings , if it is allowed to come up and 
be relinquished ,we can quickly jump from grief to acceptance.The 
continuing grief over a loss is due to the resistance to accepting that 
state and allowing the grief to expend itself .The persistence of a 
feeling is due to the resistance to allowing it to be relinquished 
( e.g., “Cry me a river “) .Once we accept the fact that we can handle 
grief ,we are already up into pride .The feeling of “I can do it “ and 
“I can handle it “ brings us to courage .With the courage to face out 
inner feelings and let them go ,we thus move on to the levels of 
acceptance and eventually peace .When we let go of a lot of grief we 
have been holding over the years ,our friends and family will notice a 
change in our facial expression .Our step will be lighter and we will 
look younger .

Maya Angelou

 

 

Marguerite Ann Johnson @ Maya Angelou

 

Prolific American author, poet and civil rights activist Maya Angelou
has died at 86.

She was known for her inspiring words that shed light onto the beauty
and injustices of the world. USA TODAY Network lists 13 of her best quotes:

1. "I believe that each of us comes from the creator trailing wisps of glory."

2. "I am a Woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal Woman,
that's me."

3. "I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget
what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

4. "You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can
decide not to be reduced by them."

5. "My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so
with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style."

6. "My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try
to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return."

7. "Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud."

8. "I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on
both hands; you need to be able to throw something back."

9. "We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated."

10. "You are the sum total of everything you've ever seen, heard, eaten,
smelled, been told, forgot - it's all there. Everything influences each of us,
and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive."

11. "One isn't necessarily born with courage, but one is born with potential.
Without courage, we cannot practice any other virtue with consistency. We
can't be kind, true, merciful, generous, or honest."

12. "Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates
walls to arrive at its destination full of hope."

13. "Nothing can dim the light which shines from within."

In her poem "Caged Bird," Angelou wrote:

"A free bird leaps

on the back of the wind

and floats downstream

till the current ends

and dips his wing

in the orange sun rays

and dares to claim the sky.

But a bird that stalks

down his narrow cage

can seldom see through

his bars of rage

his wings are clipped

and his feet are tied

so he opens his throat to sing."

Surrounded by greats.

In CNN's 2009 interview, Angelou spoke in the way that she came
to be famous for, each sentence a crescendo of emotion, a call to
everyone to act and to be better.

"Our country needs us all right now to stand up and be counted. We
need to try to be great citizens. We are necessary in this country, and
we need to give something -- that is to say, go to a local hospital, go
to the children's ward and offer to the nurse in charge an hour twice a
month that you can give them reading children's stories or poetry," she
said. "And go to an old folks' home and read the newspaper to somebody.
Go to your church or your synagogue or your mosque, and say, 'I'd like
to be of service. I have one hour twice a month.'

"You'll be surprised at how much better you will feel," she said. "And
good done anywhere is good done everywhere."










The world knows her as a poet but at the heart of her, she was a teacher.
'When you learn, teach. When you get, give' is one of the best lessons
from her,"

Some of Angelou's most powerful speeches
"Look where we've all come from ... coming out of darkness, moving
 toward the light," Angelou once said. "It is a long journey, but a sweet
one, bittersweet." 

"I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings" was an international bestseller and
nominated for a National Book Award in 1970. It was her autobiography
and last contribution to literature.

"If you want to know what it was like to live at the bottom of the heap
before, during and after the American Depression, this exceptional book
will tell you," hailed British critic Paul Bailey.

Om

"An Esoteric Catechism"

I play my part with stern resolve                                                                                                 With earnest aspiration
I look above, I help below
I dream not, nor I rest
I toil, I serve
I reap, I pray
I am the Cross, I am the Way
I tread upon the work I do,
I mount upon my slain self
I kill desire, and I strive,                                                                                                       forgetting all reward.
I forego peace, I forfeit rest
and, in the stress of pain,
I lose myself and find Myself
and enter into peace.
To all this I solemnly pledge myself,
invoking my Higher Self.

 

Godhead

We are in essence a reflection of the Godhead, made in the image of God, and eventually reflect the Holy Spirit or Mother or Matter through our bodies, the Son or Soul through our consciousness, and finally the Father or One Spirit or God through our spirits.

Reiki Founder Dr Usui

 
“From vast emptiness all things have arisen 
and will return to that same vastness .All things 
keep on returning .The one permanent thing is 
the mind of the Buddha ,which permeates all 
existence “ Dr Usui, Reiki.

Think about the people in my life !

Persons are either blessings or lessons. They are meant to cross 
our paths for a reason.       ~ Ana Barletta

Sometimes the really difficult people are the biggest reasons of all. 
Makes us who we are & if you learn by the mistake, that is to your 
benefit.                ~ Valerie Marino 

 

Good or bad, they are definitely in your life for a reason ~ Laurie Kaiser 

Nothing happens by accident. The Universe takes care of the law 
of attraction worth.                     ~ Ana Barletta

There are no accidents in life. Everything is for a reason. You may 
not find out the reason for years.               ~ Helen Tarantino 

Everyone has a message to give you or you will give them a 
message. If you are attentive enough you will see it. ~ Douglas Zawacki
