Bruce Lee

Empty your mind, be formless, shapeless - like water.
Now you put water into a cup, it becomes the cup,
you put water into a bottle, it becomes the bottle,
you put it in a teapot, it becomes the teapot.
Now water can flow or it can crash.
Be water, my friend.

Jon Mundy talking on A Course in Miracles Made Simple mentions either projection (you not me) or don'tevernoticeiamlying occur when you confront people over past issues. Maybe people should just forgive and bypass the confrontational part.

4th Dimension

I was curious, I'd heard and read about 4th and 5th dimensional stuff and wondered what it's like.



Can you imagine waking up one morning and everything looks like that. The wonders of the internet. You can look things up and check them out for yourself.




- the fifth dimension is a metaphor for unexplored and unknown aspects of the universe and oneself.
- In physics, the fifth dimension is a hypothetical extra dimension beyond the usual three spatial dimensions and one time dimension of relativity.

Ralph Waldo Trine

"The moment we fully and vitally realise who and what we are, we then begin to build our own World even as God builds his." "Within yourself lies the cause of whatever enters into your life. To come into the full realization of your own awakened interior powers is to be able to condition your life in exact accord with what you would have it"

Spring has sprung

Teach Us to Pray, by Charles Fillmore founder of Unity Church, [1941], at sacred-texts.com(see more of his books there too):
But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thine inner chamber, and having shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret, and thy Father which seeth in secret shall recompense thee.(Mathew 6.6).
It is difficult to improve upon this simple method. Quietly entering the inner chamber within the soul, shutting the door to the external thoughts of daily life, and seeking conscious union with God is the highest form of prayer we know. “.
ACIM students may recognize the similarity to "Song of Prayer".


Genevieve Behrend's book: Your Invisible Power
Chapter IX,
How I Attracted to Myself Twenty Thousand Dollars
A nice little curiosity. All I can say is try it.

The Strawberry Story.

This is a good experiment. If you can duplicate it then show the kids. Projects for guides , cubs, seniors etc. The list would be endless.

New Thought


I've been researching New Thought authors, my interest being the 1800's to early 1900's. Thomas Troward, who mentored Genevieve Behrend, is indicative of using mental facilities to visualize what you want , being tuned into the Universal consciousness to be guided towards action and having the faith that your seeds will bear fruit. And that prayer plays an integral part.In “Your Invisible Power

Only love creates, and only like itself.

Listening to Ken and Gloria Wapnick or Tom and Linda Carpenter just reinforces my belief in a Holy relationship. I remember my parents did an evaluation through a friend, an ex V.P., who started into a new business.


I remember he was astonished at how close their answers were for all the questions.
Tuned into love.

Connecting a few dots.

My fascination with ancient history led me to Atlantis and Lemuria.
Ahkenaten led me to Petra, Jordan through two different means
Remember Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade? “The next day, filming moved to the ancient city of Petra, Jordan, which stood in for the temple housing the Grail.”.
Not really sure how I connected these but:
Lisan (tongue) Dead Sea peninsula is mentioned in the Bible Code.Zecharia Sitchin had a series of books based on the Sumerian Tablets.
Lisan figures there as well.
The geology of the Dead Sea is unusual. It is divided into two parts by a large peninsula called the Lisan (“the Tongue”), which reaches to within two miles of the western shore. North of the Lisan, the Dead Sea is up to 1,310 feet deep, the lowest landlocked point on Earth. To the south, in complete contrast, the waters are shallow, from only three to fifteen feet deep. Could this unusual geological feature be attributed to an explosion which breached the original Lisan and caused the previously dry “valley of the fields” to become submerged under water? To this day, unnatural levels of radioactivity are found in the water of springs around the southernmost edges of the Dead Sea.

Just a reminder of 2 invaluable resources from the Foundation for A Course in Miracles

Things we should do more often:

  • Hug someone. If you can't, imagine who you would if you could.
  • Those pennies you see on the ground. They're adding to your first million. Put them in the box at Tim's.
  • Stop rushing. Hold the door for someone. Smile.
  • Help someone else with leads to that job they need or with their computer problems.
  • Compliment others that need it. Give them a boost, keep them positive. Joke with the cashier at Loblaws.
  • Start a website. Join an online network. Blog. Share what you know. Inspire others. Show them where to get information(websites, books).

Goal Setting (Practical forgiveness)

Without a clear-cut, positive goal, set at the outset, the situation just seems to happen, and makes no sense until it has already happened. (CH17,VI,3.1)

No goal was set with which to bring the means in line. (CH17,VI,3.5).

The universe will serve it gladly, as it serves the universe. (CH17,VII,6.8)
Most of the LofA stuff leaves out the mutual beneficial component with the universe.


Unity Church in Kitchener has their Sunday services online.

They also have Prayers and Meditations.

Music


Neil Young said he thought music would change the world but he no longer believed that. I tend to disagree.
Time to eat all your words
Swallow your pride
Open your eyes
High time we made a stand and shook up the views of the common man
And the lovetrain rides from coast to coast
Every minute of every hour - " I Love a Sunflower "
And I believe in lovepower, Love power, LOVEPOWER !!!
Sowing the Seeds
An end to need
And the Politics of Greed
With
love
I've always thought certain music songs pertained to something going on in my life.
Sometimes just about life.

This is the sound of my soul
This is the sound
I bought a ticket to the world
But now I've come back again
Why do I find it hard to write the next line
When I want the truth to be said
I know this much is true
It might be about relationships
Some day I might (I might) find myself looking in your eyes
But for now, we'll go on living separate lives
Yes for now, we'll go on living separate lives
The one that you think got away
So take a look at me now, well there's just an empty space
And there's nothing left here to remind me, just the memory of your face
Just take a look at me now, cos there's just an empty space
The one you're looking forward to
Two hearts, believing in just one mind
Beating together till the end of time
You know were two hearts believing in just one mind
Together forever till the end of time
A change in consciousness
I can't stand this indecision
Married with a lack of vision
Everybody wants to rule the world
Say that you'll never never never need it
One headline why believe it ?
Everybody wants to rule the world
All for freedom and for pleasure
Nothing ever lasts forever
Everybody wants to rule the world
A connection to spirit
Just like me
They want to be
Close to you
Here's to the future
And when the evening comes we smile
So much of life ahead
We'll find a place where theres room to grow
And yes! we've only just begun
