Opening to Authenticity

100% responsibility

Here are some quotes from Zero Limits:  The Secret Hawaiian System for Wealth, Health, Peace, and More by Joe Vitale and Ihaleakala Hew Len.

"The entire world is in your hands."

"Memories replaying displace the common ground of Self Identity, taking the Soul of Mind away from its natural position of Void and Infinite. Although memories displace the Void, they cannot destroy it. How can nothing be destroyed?"

"The physical is the expression of memories and Inspirations taking place in the Soul of Self Identity. Change the state of Self Identity and the state of the physical world changes."

Ihaleakala Hew Len shares...

"I operate my life and my relationships according to the following insights:

1. The physical universe is an actualization of my thoughts.
2. If my thoughts are cancerous, they create a cancerous physical reality.
3. If my thoughts are perfect, they create a physical reality brimming with LOVE.
4. I am 100 percent responsible for creating my physical universe the way it is.
5. I am 100 percent responsible for correcting the cancerous thoughts that create a diseased reality.
6. There is no such thing as out there.  Everything exists as thoughts in my mind."

Powerful stuff.  I'm 100% responsible.

Here's a practice for cleaning out memories ...

I love you.
I am sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.

Perfect... the way you are

Susan Gregg shared this with her email distribution list today:  "There isn't anything you need externally to be perfect. You don't need to change anything internally either. You are perfect just the way you are."

Thanks, Susan.

Creators of our truths

"Forever, physical humans are saying, "give me the truth, give me the truth." And we say, there are all kinds of truths. Choose the truths that serve you. Now, there are a lot of people that would feel great discomfort with that. But the thing that we want you to hear about it is: there is a truth of cancer, and there is a truth of wellness. Which truth serves you? You can activate either of them within you, and make it your truth. Truths are created; they aren't static. They aren't conditions that exist that then it is your obligation to identify and catalog. You are the creator of your truths--and what you are living is your truth."

--- Abraham-Hicks

Well, I just felt inspired to share another of the daily quotes from Abraham-Hicks. 

Itakes me think of a rewrite for the John Lennon song "Gimme some truth"... New version:  "All I want is the truth.  I'll just make me some truth."

Today I dedicate myself to asking what truths serve me... and choosing those truths... allowing others to fall away.  Who needs them?  I sure don't.  Suffering is optional.  Lately I've been inviting myself to suffer by living with truths that don't serve me.  Today I shift what's true for me at this time.  That's within my own power.  

How about you?  What truths are you creating?  How well do they serve?

Love and blessings on your journey.

in munay,

vision resides in the heart

i see an open field.  in the distance a ring of mountains holds this land in its embrace.  it’s a field where the grasses find delight in the movement of the wind.  it’s a field where i stand surrounded by a large circle of allies and friends.. some from waking reality, some from my dream relationships.  i’m in an open field and the sun is warm on my face and neck.  the sun is high in the sky.  i feel the warmth of this time.  i feel myself wondering why i’m here.  i feel myself held by the companionship of this circle of friends.  i feel my life shudder.  i feel myself wondering why i’m here.  i feel myself knowing that i’ve stepped away and away and away from doing till i’m not sure where or how to put my energies in service to the great transformation that is underway.  i feel the transformation and i know it is part of my destiny to help make that change visible in the world. 

Namaste

I'm thinking about something Deepak Chopra recommends in his book The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire.  He suggests that each and every time you make eye contact with a person you silently greet them with "Namaste," which translates "The spirit in me recognizes the spirit in you."

He makes the point that, when we do this, the energy field of the person we're silently greeting in this way recognizes our greeting and responds accordingly.  This is a practice I have adopted.  And I find it makes a lovely, free flowing shift for people without my having to have any opinions about them or about me or about the situation.  And I haven't taken any action that is overtly designed to change anyone else.

It actually re-affirms for me that I am the universe arising in this form and I'm in the presence of myself arising in another form at this moment.  And it reminds me that nothing "needs fixed."

Here's an example of an encounter I had once a while back.  I was walking along the sidewalk with a friend.  We approached a man coming toward us.  Although I had no sense that we were hogging the sidewalk, he stepped completely off the sidewalk and far onto the grass to skirt us.  The sense I had from him was that he was really feeling like he needed lots of space and didn't want to have any human interaction. 

I happened to make eye contact in the course of this moment.  I remembered my practice and silently greeted him with "Namaste."  Instantly his whole body seemed to relax and he turned to us and greeted us warmly and asked how we were doing.  I responded warmly as though we were close neighbors and walked by.  He seemed a little baffled by his own behavior but walked on in a lighter mood. So did I.

That's how I experienced the situation.

For me it's about encountering everything in the universe as me and nothing as not me... nothing foreign or in need of distancing from. 

It's a process of allowing everything to flow in and out of my auric field freely without barriers... and without things becoming lodged.  It's a process.  If I do experience myself feeling reactive, I feel thrilled to notice that's an area where I'm still clinging to wounds and judgments.  It's an opportunity for me to address them sweetly... inviting new ways of being to arise.
