Up-date- Soul Shift and Revelation and Me ♥

Soul Shift- Consumer to Steward... what is our relationship with possessions? Worldliness or Godliness? The talk was about how we all feel we need possessions to be accepted by others when in fact we need only to accept our-self with the higher power as our 'keeper', thats all we really need, right? In the mean-time, our needs for shelter, food, enlightenment have to be dealt with from out-side sources. Do we really NEED a big TV? Or the latest technical wonder of a computer? Most will say yes, one of each, please... Thank you, TY! I only really need to find that next piece of Spiritual gold ...: )
Talking about this with the group, one man at our study told a story of how his foster child in Hatiti's life was ruined because he bought him a goat as a special gift one year at Xmas. It was a special campaign done by the organization that sponsored the orphanage where he stayed. The boy literally disappeared with the goat, never to be seen again. This poor man is devastated because he gave the child, 13 yrs old, something he wouldn't of been able to afford other-wise. A lesson for us all, be careful what you really need to make yourself happy.

Revelation -chapter 7
The symbolism of the 12,000 or God's chosen people... many variations of what this means, the mark of X on God's chosen's forehead... I wonder? Only the Christ can see this and spare them from the apocalypse. I remember when I was 8 years old being 'saved' as a child in a small church in South End where I grew up. I ,being born & raised a Catholic ,had been invited by my 2rd cousin's to attend church with them on Sunday. I was visting with my mother& siblings at the time, so she never noticed when I disappeared up the road with them. The church was packed with people, all singing and praising God. I was not like a service I had ever attended before! I was very excited with all of them that Jesus was with us, right there in that church. The time came to go up and give yourself to christ. My cousin's told me to go up and kneel at the altar. I hurried up and told the preacher that I wanted to give my life to Christ, something I always dreamt about, after all, I had already said I wanted to be a Catholic Sister. He saved me, right then and there! Everyone was happy, telling me how precious I was. As we were leaving the Church, a woman with a buckskin horse was waiting outside the door. I eyes popped! I had always dreamed of having my own horse. She was letting the children pat the horse. I went over and someone lifted me to the saddle of the mount! Next thing I knew the reins were in my hand and I was riding that horse down the road! All my myself! What a great gift I recieved that day! My Mother was furious when the horse reached our driveway! She open the door of the house and ordered me me off that 'animal'. The woman who owned the horse arrived to take me off and was I in trouble with my Mother.
The morale for me? I did what I needed to do...I left home, made friends with people I liked, accept the Divine, took a first step, disappointed my family and received God into my life...just like Jesus did...

Soul Shift- Seen to Unseen

After borrowing the Soul Shift CD with the lecture from the Church, watching for a hour Saturday night and finishing the home work in my study book, I would have to say that what was described is what I've been working at for years...building a more open connection with the Divine. The study requested person's to look for other realm's working around us from 'God". Trying to see how the Divine works in our lives. ♥ All I can say to prayer, meditation and willingness to let it all go with-out question, is what Spirit needs to work thru us to help other's.

Prisms- Color that Heals

Prisms have always fascinated me sense I was a child. I remember a very much older woman who came to stay in the empty apartment in my building when I was about 5 years old. She never spoke to anyone except me, inviting me in for cookies and chat. She stayed only there a few weeks before disappearing with all her things, giving me a rhinestone necklace to remember her by.

All her belongings were packed into cardboard boxes around her as we
would set facing each other in her flat. My name was Princess Patrica Marie when we had our tea with raisin scones, dressing in our best the chat. The woman told me many stories
about her family, stopping occasionally to pick thru her boxes to
show me varies items she had collected over her life. One was a
crystal lamp with cut crystal 'tear drops' which hang off it. When
placed in the sun lit window, showed beautiful prisms of colours on
the rooms walls. She told me these were healing lamps and the colours
made people feel better, just by looking at them.

Now, many years later, I still love prisms. I keep  them in the window of my
meditation room, basking in the healing colours. 

 Prism colours heal on different planes, reaching the Spirit Plane, an inner dimension that is much higher then our physical realm. The dominant colour on this plane, is purple, just as the dominant colour of our physical world is green.
Each colour for me represents a chakra. Red base, orange
sacral,yellow solar, green heart, blue voice,indigo eye, purple crown
and white spirit...

The prism colours work with the divine help of Spirit and lifts the
mediators consciousness to higher levels. Meditating on the problems
and health concerns activates the Prism. Healing energy flows thru
the colours, and gently covers, surrounds, and penetrates, the inner
body's request for healing. The healing 'atoms' vibrate, with the
inner body and raises energy. Meditating on the colours
brings the vibrations were they are needed, descending
back to our physical bodies.




Revelation #6




A pin for the impatient...


Another week has come and past-ed...I've spent much of it on the beach, walking and gathering 'stones' with my friend, who has now left for his home...again. Times are changing for both of us and soon I must make a desision on what to do about 'him'...
 Anyway, I went Wednesday night to my SAR meeting so missed my Soul Shift study chapter ' Seen to Unseen'...punny.... I have borrowed the CD to watch before tomorrow so I can do the home-work for next Wednesday night ; )


My Thursday morning study on Revelation was another matter...the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, plus others. I was not impressed with the description. I have my own ideas that what was predicted has been with us all along... famine, poverty, murder and the unjust. Personally, I see the White Horse representing the rightous self, not  the Anti-Christ victor... We are in times of change now, why do we suffer? because we choose to, most of the time. We as humans tend to need too much in this 21th century. We need to transcend to a simplier way of life ♥

Stones- a Reminise


The Universe sure works in mysterious ways sometimes...

Taking advantage of free time, back in September 2011, I went  to pay homage to the stones carvings and rock altar what  I had found over the last 3 years. When arriving, I went to the shore to sit among the rocks before climbing up the hill to view 'Utter'. Clearing away any energy from me and meditating in the cool September air, many thoughts came to mind. I wondered for an answer to my question of where it is I'm going, what task lay before me now and thanking the Universe for my many blessing/ lessons of the last 10 years.

I noticed then at my feet were several large pieces of blue stone I hadn't seen before. Picking one up to examine I remembered this is quartzite used to make pipe bowl the native called 'peace pipes'. I choose a triangular shaped one for my rock collection and put it in my bag.

   Then, looking up, I could see a man, standing above me on the bluff. What a surprise it was to see him as I thought I was alone there, not being any other cars when I arrived...

 Gathering up my things to start up the hill, I wondered who this person was who stood so quiet and obviously watched me meditate. When I got to the top of the bluff he was still there watching me.

  "Hello there." I said. "How are you this evening?  ” Fine." He told me, all smiles. I didn't recognize him but he did me! "I watch your videos on ‘YouTube’." he said. Sudden shock! I almost fell over remembering the recent one of me showing my toes while sitting in my bath tub, kittens walking the edge of it and lapping up the bath water...

"Really..." I exclaimed. "Yes, I enjoyed the view of Mavilette beach in the wind storm.” he smiled. O God !, I thought. We then went on to exchange names (Norm was his), talk about my potatoes growing (also on YouTube) and our love of the ocean. After I walked up the shore several hundred feet where a kind soul, (he told me his Uncle) had left lawn chairs. I sat in one looking out over the ocean waiting for him to leave so I could do my prayers in privacy.

  Looking out othe ocean,  Lo and behold, there was a schooner sailing on the horizon.I picked up my bionoculars out my bag to get a better look. Then, I looked to see if Norm had noticed it but he was back to me, looking the other direction. I decided not to disturb him ,going back to my observations.After what seemed like hours, He did leave, eventually and I made my way back to where the stone altar was I had found a few weeks before on the shore among the rocks. Taking the steel brush from my bag, I took sea water and scrubbed the paint graffiti from the altar as much as I could. I then said a cleansing prayer, asking for the negativity to be removed from this sacred place. Lying a heart shaped white quartz I had found on the beach on it, I read an offering prayer  to the Universe. The 'Utter' obliged me with a constant booming of gratitude after so long being un-noticed...AND defiled.  I watched the waves beat against the shore rocks, sending large  white foamy crests over them. I listened to the surf, seagulls calling and the sound of my own heart beating together with the cosmic rythumn of nature...feeling the Divine Love of All Creation with-in me. Sitting there watching the waves, I noticed a black harbour porpoise surface. It came to blow many times as I watched there. This gave me a great joy and 'wakening'. I had never seen one so close to shore before! How magic after asking the Universe to guide me

 

Walking back to my car after I went down the twisted path, between the hills of grass and sand. There, sitting among the hills was a white car. O No...I wondered who THAT was. I wondered if they have seen me...

Getting closer I saw it was 'Norm", my 'YouTube' fan.

"Did you find what you were looking for?" .he asked.

My heart jumped. I looked back at him thru the window of his car. I couldn't see any angel wings...
 
 
 
 

Sunday Shine

 
"Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you."
~John 15:16

It’s had been more than a year sense I have seen a woman from my Wednesday night bible study group. She was stricken with ALS more than a year ago, just before our initial introduction. Her husband had brought her to one of our study group’s pot-luck dinners were we were introduced. She was very weak at that time after being in the hospital, doctor’s tests and struggling to understand what was happening to her.
She was very quiet on that occasion, didn’t participate in the meal, really, plus left early because of fatigue. Our group has had regular up-dates on her condition and so we decided to visit her weekly on Sunday as she doesn’t feel she can attend services at the Church because of her health.
On Sunday, I dressed in my Sally-Anne new purple 2 piece suit and waited for my ride to her home to arrive. I and the bible study leader got there about 11:15 and I sat on her comfy couch to take in whatever study the leader had to say. Looking around her beautiful home, I noticed, of course, she had a crystal sphere chandler. It was beautiful hanging there and I tried to imagine what it would look like with the sun light shining thru it. Would it be many prisms or just one appearing on the wall across with all the crystals working together?
Our leader read the scriptures she’d selected, stopping to ask why the lady had decided to give her clothes away. She said she didn’t think she needed those clothes anymore. I told her in the bible it says ‘we are born naked and naked we leave’; she looked at me laughed at that, finding it very funny. There were pots of brightly colored Mums on her porch when we came in and I complimented her on those. It was obvious she loved flowers and had orchids inside in pots.
Our leader talked about how some people are made to suffer with illness, that God said ‘I am the vine and you are the branches. Our strength comes from him.’ I added also that when we are sick, not being able to do much, that God has tried to slow us down, taking more time to talk to him plus he speaks to us more. She got excited about that. She said she had been stricken with a bad back at one time in her life and God had sent a miracle for her, but she never explained what that miracle was… I read her a poem from my book, Graces, about nature and how we connect with it. Its all creation around us all the time ♥

The hour passed quickly and soon her husband arrived from the Church so it was time to leave. We gathered together to hold hands and pray. I held fast her cold hand; consciously I tried to warm it sending the warmth thru myself to her and asked for healing for this beautiful soul of a woman. Her hands warmed in mine and when I opened my eyes to look at her, she was looking wide eyed at me, smiling shiny. I smiled shiny back, too. She asked us both what we would want her to pray for each of us in the coming week.
I looked at her and said,” That I can become a better witness."

She gasped a deep breath, filling her lungs and exclaiming, “What? You already are a good witness!”

As we said our goodbyes, she complimented me on my purple suit. “Yes,” I said, " I was brave this morning and wore my purple for you.”








 
For God is my record - I call God to witness that I have the strongest affection for you all, and that I love you with that same kind of tender concern with which Christ loved the world when he gave himself for it; for I am even ready to be offered on the sacrifice and service of my faith,
quote- Philippians 2:17.
