Divine Grace - The Gift of Forgiveness

An Open Letter in Extension of Divine Grace - A Christmas wish for all.

Dear Friends and Readers, This is my Christmas wish for you …

"May you always find the Grace in your heart to be forgiving, for it is by Divine Grace that we are forgiven in the eyes of God."

…..

Grace is a little understood concept in Christianity - if we waited until people deserved to be forgiven for their misdeeds, there would be little forgiveness in the world at all.  Grace offers forgiveness at no cost to the individual being forgiven; hence we forgive the debt they "owe" for their trespasses and set them free.  Forgiveness frees us because we are no longer looking back in anger or holding on to grudges or resentment surrounding the individual who harmed us.  Instead, we choose to live in Divine Grace, and extend undeserved grace to our enemies or perpetrators.  

I have found that after a period of time mulling over someone's offenses, if no suitable act of contrition or apology is forthcoming, then I must actively work to extend the grace of forgiveness.  The most effective way I have found to do this is to sincerely pray for the health and well being of the offending party, and summon gratitude for their positive characteristics.  In quiet meditation I ask for the help of the Holy Spirit to redeem all offending acts as forgiven and then bless the offender.   I do this in the conscious knowing that we ALL fall short of perfection and because we are human, we err and make blunders and mistakes.  But for the Grace of God, there go I.

I have had some truly powerful results with this simple formula.  I have seeded peace in others and found an inner peace I did not know was possible.  I have grown in my inner capacity to love unconditionally and give without expectations, all because I have found this inner peace and tranquility is the substance of true miracles.  And in the process, I AM HEALED.

May the Light of Divine Grace be bestowed on you as my Christmas gift, and may you find the peace we all desperately yearn for as your constant companion.  May you forgive and be forgiven, and be blessed!  Happy Holidays my friends!

A Memory Write - April 24, 2019

 Crossing the Time Warp!

 Holy Guacamole, Batman!!! The Universe has opened up at light speed moving us into the Cosmic Time Warp of accelerated motion, e-motion, and unconscious downloads. There are Cosmic Portals opening up everywhere, vast internal galaxies opening up for exploration, and astral dream states moving on internal hard drives. Fasten your seat belts!! We're in for one wild ride where distant dreams become eventual realities, and gun-toting Sheriffs become Sugar Plum Fairies. It's time to take it all to the Outer Limits - breaking sound barriers, and joining forces with alignments in parallel Universes. Let your Super Sonic hearing and your Emotional Compass be your guide as we fast forward in time from 1974 and "What-Could-Have-Been-Then", to miracles, and ultimate Yin-Yang pairings in the Mirror Universe of Love.

Just for fun, a memory write from April 24, 2019.   I also write poetry, and dash off creative blurbs and insights, like this, that come out of nowhere.  There's a sci-fi cartoon novella here somewhere.

Miracles, Truth, and Cultural Narcissism

Cultural Narcissism and Illusion
We must come to understand that fighting and arguing, (especially on FB and social media) about politics (or what have you) is just an addiction born out of the Cultural Narcissism this country suffers from; egos out of control and power struggles that render all parties drained and impotent to find workable solutions to the difficulties we all face. Marinating in confirmation bias only robs us; as we become crystalized in our own limited versions of reality, that is merely a self-created illusion. Worse yet, we become unteachable, incapable of learning from the opposition we so vehemently lash out against.  Confirmation bias is a trick of mind.  The Ego needs to be "right" and so justifies self-deception and lying to ourselves about how true our beliefs actually are.  We believe what we want to believe, see what we want to see, all so we can rationalize the righteousness of our actions.  We create projections about what we believe to be true and create distorted illusions we believe are reality, instead of realizing we merely see portions of a larger truth.

There is more to the story.  Living in the Illusion of Self-Righteous Brawling is a waste of our precious time, something we have so little of.  Real truth lies in the ability to hold both sides of any issue equally balanced in your mind, and see the validity of both sides. True Enlightenment comes when we realize that, "To know, is not to know."  To think and behave as if we are omniscient beings is folly.

Miracles and Truth
From this comes real freedom. The freedom to choose a course of action based on our intuitive and true understanding of any situation; instead of knee jerk reactions founded on "labels" and subconscious conditioning. We understand that things are not what they appear to be and we become open to new possibilities because our perceptions of what we see before us are clear and unclouded by bias. We are free to choose the best possible action for ourselves and how to spend our limited time. We become free to embrace unforeseen potential in a realm of thought unfettered by ego power struggles and the limitations of proving, "I'm right and you're wrong.", which in reality is subjective anyways. In truth, everyone is right and everyone is wrong, according to our individual prejudices and illusions.

Miracles happen when we can suspend our beliefs about what we believe to be " ultimate truth" and arrive to live comfortably in the great unknown for the true source of all understanding. Only then can the "unseen" become "seen"; the unknowable become known, and we are free to see beneath the surface limitations of faulty perceptions to a deeper core of reality.   We intuitively find answers and arrive at solutions we were blind to, yet were so obviously there.

Nightly Healing

Healing as a Meditation Practice

Before I go to sleep each night, I meditate - a healing meditation for certain people I know who are in need of healing.  You may not even know that you're on my secret list or you might be a close friend or associate or maybe someone I've had conflict with.  I do this practice nightly to offset the constant negativity of the news, politics, or disgruntled individuals I may encounter.

It is my choice to decide how I project my thoughts and intentions onto the world and no one can take that from me.  At the end of the day, it is my choice to bring thoughts of healing to my unconscious mind, instead of fear and agitation about things over which I have little or no control.  The World will be what it is, with or without me.  But the mantle I choose to carry with me in my being is my sacred possession and I alone am responsible for that energy.  My secret meditation list remains that, my anonymous gift to myself and others that keeps me free of the toxic negativity that can be so damaging in the World.  Try it.  I guarantee you will garner some amazing results.

Mid-Summer Mystic Update - July 16 Full Moon

Full Moon & Mercury Retrograde Energies

Tonight! The MOON!! Everyone get out and look at this amazing full moon!  Transcendent!

The Full Moon in Capricorn will be all about balancing the commitment we have to our families and career. Something was building inside us, and now will be the time when the cosmos’ energy fairly demands we let it out. During the following two weeks, we are going to discover what all this means for all of us. We cannot sit on the feelings we have, but we should express them.

This illuminates the conflict that exists between direction and roots. With the Moon, there will be full symbolic illumination happening in our lives. But, these new revelations and feelings will be emotional. It will be the time of expressing ourselves and letting things out of our system.

From the 7th of July until the 31st of July, the planet Mercury is in retrograde.  If we accidentally email the wrong individual, or things get lost, or every single thing seems to go wrong, think that Mercury is in retrograde.

All manner of communication and plans will be disrupted, so prepare for that in advance.  Now is a good time to meditate, do inner work, as in dream work, and reflect on future goals.

Luna Enlightenment

This day!  This night!   This place!
That I should be here
with you all
Right here!  Right now!
Together
This gift we have together
THIS Moment!
Blending in to the next,
and the next, and the next.
Full Moon SPEAKS!
Asking questions long in to the night!
Together this the time we ALL share together
HONOR it, in each encounter with one another
Without judgment!

The Moon asks us tonight to see all as One shining light!
The Gift of light you bring to the planet Earth,
like the light of the Full Moon,
Bows to be honored.
Honor it!  In yourself.
Shine it on all who see you.
Hang!  Like the moon this night!
A beacon that we should all share in that light together.
One, no separation, no judgment.
Only different angles of the same Light!
Then Enlightenment!

Mysticism & Psychology

The Mystical Arts & Energy Psychology

“Now I realize that it isn’t the miracle that creates the believer. Instead, we are all believers. We believe that the illusion of the material world is completely real. That belief is our only prison. It prevents us from making the journey into the unknown.” – Deepak Chopra

"To know, is not to know."  -- Cynthia Brone

This article is devoted to the Mystical Arts.  The Mystical Arts includes all genres related to spirituality, paranormal, quantum entanglement, divination, astrology, etc.  While we may not always have a scientific explanation for these practices, the mystical arts have impacted many in ways that result in dramatic life altering experiences, that often defy reason. This does not make these experiences invalid.  They are very real.  In recent years, science has come to offer solid empirical evidence for much of what the ancient mystics have known for centuries.

Because science is now validating what us "crazy" empaths have known all along, I have included this section to relay my personal experiences.  In addition, to experiencing planetary fields, I have experienced Cosmic Portals, telepathic links with people I'm in sync with, quantum entanglement synchronicity with groups of people, and most recently, the power of my own prayer to bring about a state of peace in a once violent neighborhood situation I was certain would never abate.  I did not seek out any of these experiences as one would out of curiosity, they simply manifested as I blithely bumbled along trying to follow a spiritual path of nonjudgment, while trying to develop the inner peace I so desperately sought in my outer reality.  Never the less, I have lived to see the outward manifestation of my spiritual practice (or the pain from the lack of, as well, as it so happens that I am also flawed) and I can say unequivocally that we are all connected by an invisible net of energy together; and that WE CONTROL the quality of our contribution to that net by the state of our inner being.

Now none of this is easy, and it takes time and practice and effort, and sometimes the gnashing of teeth, but I can assure you that if you spend the time to develop the rock of inner peace and nonjudgment within, eventually over time it will begin to impact those around you, like the wind eroding the mountains.  And this my friends is what it means to be TRULY FREE.  I highly recommend reading Dawson Church's, seminal book, "Mind to Matter", as a jumping off point if real peace is what you wish to create.

Letting Go, Letting In

What Are You Letting In?

Letting go is an ancient spiritual practice. It allows us to let natural law and the consequences of life to unfold undisturbed by our personal insecurities and fears, and ego. Yet, just letting go may not be enough. This is when conscious action and thought about what to let in can become critical, especially if a negative pattern has been attached to what we let go of. Our quality of life is hinged on what we let in to our lives, or what we take in emotionally.

If what we let in to replace what we let go of is of a higher quality or integrity, then changing negative patterns can be achieved much more easily.

Before letting go of something, ask yourself, "What would I like to replace this with first?" Then, arrange your conscious thought to guide your actions in to bringing that which enhances your life into reality.
