Oneness lesson part 2

Each and every person you see is but a mirror...

Will you shatter that mirror with verbal or physical attack?

thus attacking yourself...

Or will you uplift yourself though unconditional love and acceptance?

thus freeing yourself...

What will you do next, and why?

Oneness - Your first lesson

Everyone is you and you are them...

Know this and you will never hurt another...

Teach them and the truth will set you free...

Gays, Lesbians and the Catholic Chruch...

Reflection:

I am giving a hug to my friends brother, as I have just met him.

He is a Catholic priest and is on vacation with his two brothers.

Father Tom has been a priest for under a year.

I was looking forward to having some interesting conversations with Father Tom.

For the most part I agree with his overall philosophy. He focuses on love and forgiveness. In his three parishes Father Tom does his best to teach love and acceptance.

He also does his best to educate people to the positives of the Catholic Church. He does his best to dispel misconceptions of Priests who preach the whole fire and brimstone.

As I asked what do they do with Priests who are unruly and not presenting this positive image. Father Tom told me that they try retraining first and if that does not work, then they move them to much smaller parishes where they will have less of a negative impact.


Since I was finding out what the Catholic Churches stands were on many issues.

I brought up a big one :-)

I made the statement " I just don't get why we even have labels of gay and lesbian for people" "If people can find love then who cares if it's with a woman and man or a man and man or a women and women"

And then predigest rears its ugly head...

Here is the official stance of the Catholic Church "If you are gay or lesbian. We accept you into our Catholic churches with open arms, as long as you do not act on being Gay or Lesbian (No kissing, intercourse and such). For to do so, is to sin."

I reply "That is not acceptance at all!"

Father Tom "Yes, we would never turn them away"

I reply "Yes, but you are not accepting them as they are at all! That's bullshit! That's not even close to acceptance."

Father Tom "No, we do accept them"

I reply "OK, let's take Jesus and Mary Madeline.

Somehow I don't recall Jesus saying you're a prostitute and you need to repent.

No, Jesus praised her for the faith that she had in front of all who would Judge her.

Jesus taught never to judge anyone.

Love your neighbor as yourself, forgive everyone.

He even said love your enemies.

In fact if Jesus were right here, right now at this lunch table he would explain what acceptance really is, because you're missing the picture."

Then the subject got changed as there was no reply to the last statement.

Personally I feel it would be completely absurd to think that just because I am only attracted to women, that all men could only be attracted to women.

I really don't care for Country music, but I don't expect the rest of the world to dislike it just because I do. That would be really silly!

Just in the U.S. there are approximately 4.3 million people who are gay or lesbian. That figure is really low as it reflects just the number who are freely admitting that they are gay or lesbian.

So let me get this straight, are going to tell me that 4.3 million hard working, life loving Americans Citizens are wrong, or bad just because they should believe and do just as you believe and do?

An unruly two year old comes into mind...That is about the age you are behaving like if this is your belief...Their not just like me, so I can't play with them...wa wa wa....

Jesus Christ and I do not believe in double standards, or predigest in any form.

So I will go ahead and agree with the Catholics churches stand that no Gay or Lesbians should be allowed to kiss, hug, or have sex in public or private - as long as the catholic church passes the very same laws for each and every heterosexual on the planet.

And when their religion is no more for they have become extinct, maybe, just maybe they will look back and reread the words of the spiritual leader of the church - Jesus Christ

And as the last member of the Catholic church takes their very last breath, they may exclaim "Father please forgive us for our judgments against our loving brothers and sisters..."

But then, it will be too late...

The time is now...

The time is now to start paying attention to the life and teachings of Jesus Christ...

I propose a challenge to each and every Catholic and Christian church a crossed the globe.

I challenge you to make 2009 the year of Jesus Christ's life...

I challenge you to teach the teaching of Jesus and really focus on why he taught, what he taught...

Jesus gave each and every one of you the keys to Gods kingdom, the kingdom of unconditional love and acceptance, and sadly you dropped them on the floor and stepped right over them.

You cannot enter your birthright, the kingdom of God, with predigest and judgment in your hearts...

Reread the teachings of the master, our lord and savior Jesus Christ...

Teach his true word...the word of unconditional love, and of true acceptance...

Live his teachings....share his peace, his love, and his laughter with your brothers and sisters...

Uplift every person you come in contact with...Talk to them, share with them, teach them and learn from them...

For that my brothers and sisters is living Christ, that is teaching Christ, that is knowing Christ...

Begin...

A response to peace

I apologize for not being able to write more this past week. Life was extremely busy this week.

The questions was - What was the most peaceful moment in your life?

Once again a very difficult question...I can name the most elated,the happiness,the most manic,depressed,etc...but, I think my most peaceful has either not come yet or I simply missed it.~Jackie

Very good answer!

This is because "peace" is not found in past moments...

It is not found in future thoughts...

It is only discovered in this very moment of now...

To take all of your attention to this moment of now and experience totally this eternal moment...

Are you ready to begin this moment?

what does "holy" mean to you?

no new questions have been asked...

so here is a new one for you...




What does "holy" mean to you?

no questions asked...

Wild egos causing pain - Film at 11

Q: If you feel anxiety or pain as a result of ego, is it enough just to tell yourself it is only your ego and let the energy pass through? What is a good statement to tell yourself?

Statements to yourself, or "affirmations" as some call them, really don't do much.

You must allow the energy to pass though while observing...

Why?

Because you can not be identified with a issue and be observing it at the same time...

Watching it without judgment breaks your identification with it being you...

The "you" that is watching is the real you...

How much do you enjoy the peace of the real you?

Perhaps you can...

New! FREE for the next 24 hours!


During our walks together I will ask you one question per day, the question may...


As I stretch out in bed, and bring the knees up, thrust them forward and spring out of bed.

I feel the familiar texture of the carpet under my feet, and yet it is the very first time I have felt this carpet...

I open my eyes and the dream begins again...

I see images of holding hands, many images, big holding little hands, black holding white hands, many nationalities holding hands...

Unity...

Unity is why I appear in this dream where our eyes are open...



How can you express unity in every moment of "now" for the next 24 hours?

Human Nature Channel Special - When an "ego" attacks!

Q: When an 'ego' attacks our perspective of the meaning of life or belief system... how do we stay defenseless when our initial response is to defend our own 'ego' sometimes it is difficult not to react or feel we have to defend our perspective in someway...?????

To defend is to identify with and get caught up in "ego."

Every time you judge back in the form of retaliation, the cycle begins...

How do you break this cycle?

The correct answer is in the form of a single word...

This word is the very word that equals freedom from all that your not...

The word is "surrender"

The sweetness of allowing the energy of what is in front of you to enter pass though you body without judgment - and exit back into the universe...

Surrendering to "what is" in this very moment is freedom,

Fighting is imprisonment...

Why?

Because when you identify with the emotion of "vengeance" you will root your identity in it...

It is all consuming and "who really are" goes completely unconscious...

You could have half a world going "enough is enough already!" and yet, you will continue this path of vengeance...

Till you learn to surrender to the love that you are...

The love that goes far beyond your individuality...

It gently guides you to the very essence of your being...

Yes, once again, when you let go of all your not...

Only unconditional love remains...

Start by allowing the energy of each object in front of you, to enter, pass though you (energizing you), and exit back into the universe...

When you learn that judging the energy of anything as good, bad or neutral - are "all incorrect" you will begin your path to freedom...

When will you begin to embrace the freedom that is yours for the sharing?

I would like to hear about your week in New England...

The drive up was wonderful!

As I started the drive, I watched as the black rubber blade glided a crossed the windshield.

The peace of rain...

This brought back a recent wonderful experience...

Reflection...

Recently I was grilling barbecued chicken on the back deck. It was raining out. Morgan (our three year old daughter) wanted to come outside and hang out with me. As I slid the glass door, out she sprang with a big smile. Yes, the kind that warms your heart to the core.

She starts running around the table on the wet deck. I say "Sweetie don't run fast when the deck is wet because it's slippery" I see her happiness quickly fade.

I say to her " OK, lets do something fun"

"What daddy?" she says

It starts raining harder

She says "Daddy, it's raining hard"

"Yes, it is, now hold out your hands with your palms up" I begin

"Now open up to the wonderful energy of the rain, feel it washing through you and back out into the universe" "That's it allow it to flow in though and back out into the universe" "Feel that wonderful energy"

She is now looking up and giggling as it is poring down rain. I could tell she was really feeling the energy of the rain as it was moving though and back to the universe again, and again in a beautiful symphony of motion.

The innocence of her laugher in the rain is forever etched in my mind...forever shared in my heart...

Every moment of sharing is precious...

Arriving at New England:

As I arrived at the NGH convention I felt such a charge of excitement...

This year was going to be even better than all past years, I could feel it...

There were many new Hypnotherapist's this year, or "Counseling Hypnotists" the new 2007 title for the profession. It seems to change every few years.

When anyone asked recently what I do for a living - I have stripped away all the titles and just tell them
"I teach unconditional love"

That really is what I do in my practice.

Most of the classes were wonderful...

The sharing of knowledge is healing at it's highest...

Knowledge always frees that which has perceived it was bound...

It always sets a smile on that which knew it was free already...



Hugging a stranger with complete love was the norm.


I could not tell you how many people I hugged that convention.


I talked with so many wonderful new wonderful people - that the level of sharing was sheer perfection.

There was not one moment that was outside of perfection...

as a smile of friendship...

a knowing that the sharing will continue...

Yes, that was priceless...

How do I respond when I am told I am going to hell?

Q: I believe God is 'Unconditional Love' and bigger than anything we can wrap our tiny minds around. I told a Christian co-worker that God is not to be feared. How can we fear unconditional love? The Christian co-worker believes I am going to hell because he believes God doesn't know me if I do not practice the Christian religion. I told him that I love Jesus, but believe 'The Truth' goes beyond what Christianity teaches. What is my best response to a person like this.


Your mind can never understand God...

You heart however - knows God very well...

You know in your heart that God is unconditional love...

It breaths this love in every beat...

It is from this place of unconditional love in your heart that your response must come...

You must meet someone where they think they are - to extend a hand in love...

As I tune into your heart here is your response:

"I love you totally and completely without judgment.

I always will...

And if for simply loving you - I am going to burn in hell, then so be it.

It will have been worth it - for sharing unconditional love is why I am here..."

What religion are you?

I belong to the church of unconditional love...

I attend service in every waking moment...

Service is in my heart - which encompasses this world...

With with every beat - I love, and accept you...eternally...

What is your wife like?

She is a pure expression of unconditional love...

I could say lots, but that covers it all...

This past week

After getting back from New England there were a large number of people that needed help this past week.


So now we are brought to this moment...

The fingers are back on the keys...

The mind is silent...

The heart is alive...

The sharing begins again...

How can I be a better dancer?

Dance:

To move in the vibration of sound...

Quit trying to move to the music.

Music is a vibration...

It moves in a rhythm we call song...

Close your eyes and allow the rhythm of the vibration to enter your heart...

Feel it there deeply...



Let go...

Allow this vibration to move throughout your body...

Surrender to the vibration, and allow it to carry you to the sweet ecstasy of movement...



All your inhibitions are gone, as you have nothing to worry about, as you are not dancing to music...

Music is dancing you...



Enjoy the passion of every beat, as you flow with it...

1,2,3...1,2,3 - this is forcing against the vibration of the sound, which is why it looks unnatural...

Forget the math...




Feel...

Feel...the beat in your heart...

Let go to it...

Breath...



Flow - in every moment of -now- as the music carries you...

The sweet movement of surrender...

Feel the passion of the "author" of the vibration you call song...

Share this passion...

Smile...

When dreams end...love begins...

Q:I would like your insight on several issues I am working to understand. I understand "duality" and separateness, but how do I truly know when I've become One with the Universe, and it's not this Ego making me think I am?

A:What is the "illusion"? - Planets, stars, earth, people, people, plants animals etc. - basically anything that you can perceive, and hold any sort of "judgment" on...

On the path you have chosen to walk - to obtain oneness with the "illusion" first, is a necessary "step" toward true awakening...or enlightenment

Q:I want to reach the ultimate Spiritual Enlightenment and move beyond this illusion, so need to learn what I must do to get there, i.e., meditation.

A: You have chosen your path...

Patience is wrote on the stones beneath what you call feet...

Lets patience be your friend...

In this moment of now - breath in patience, allow it to fill your lungs - breath out patients - for what you seek is not found in the future...but only in this eternal moment of now...

right here - right now...

If you ignore this moment, you will have walked past your destination...as we have so many moments passed...as we identify with future thoughts as being who we are...

We are not future...we are not past...

Learning to let go of "future" and "past" is part of the answer you seek...

But wait you say "If I let go of future and past what else is there?"

There is now...

For this very moment your eyes read these words you are love...

in this moment you are peace...

in this moment you are safe...

in this moment you are eternal...

You mentioned"meditation"

Let me take away all the mystery that surrounds this word...

When you attempt to quiet your mind you are identifying with it as being you and you are trying to quiet you...now do you understand why it does not work?

For all of you reading this I ask you this...

Would you ever turn on every light in your home, turn on you oven set it for two hours, turn on the washer and dryer, turn on the stereo and set it to ten, turn on your TV, your computer, monitor, set the microwave for two hours, and turn on every other appliance in you home, and then leave to go out to eat?

"No, I would not do that" you say

Then why do you do it in your mind?

Why do you let your mind run ninety miles an hour all day long?

Why are all the appliances (thoughts) in your mind turned on all the time?

The answer is simple...

No one ever showed you where the shut off switch is...

Watch and patiently wait for your next thought to come,

just watch and wait,

and wait,

and watch for that next thought to come.

Just observe your mind,

just watch it,

and keep watching it...

What happens?

"Well I must be doing something wrong because nothings happening"

No, you must be doing everything right...is the correct answer

"Are you saying I just found the shut off switch?"

That is exactly what I am saying

You just learned the proper way to meditate or complete shut off the mind.

You must observe it...

The you that is observing it is your spirit - aka "the real you"

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following is your first steps in your path to love...

------------------------------------------------------------------------

1. Take all your attention to a past event for around ten seconds

2. Shift all you attention to an imagined future event for around ten seconds

3. Now bring 100% of your attention to this very moment of now

4. Watch your mind now, just watch and observe it. Continue to wait for thought to come as you watch for them patiently.

In this very moment of now notice all of your senses

what does it smell like?

What sounds do you hear now?

Where are your hands?

What are they touching?

What does the floor feel like beneath your feet?

Breath deeply, feel the breath, notice how it feels,

Now see all the color and textures around you.

What do they look like when you really notice each and every detail about them?

Notice a person place or object.

Imagine your energy filling that object till you imagine being that object in this moment. Then add the feeling of feeling being an other object.

an other, each time still feeling what it feels like to feel the first object and now all the new ones.

Now do this with ever object that you can see till your feeling being them all at one time. Now take any space between them and feel being that space too.

Continue to do this as you now merge all these feelings into one, and extend this feeling outward, feeling this sharing of energy, include the earth, as well as all the stars, planets, galaxies and anything else that you can perceive.

Experience this "now" as all that was once perceived as separate is now experienced as one.

This is the very first step toward enlightenment...not enlightenment itself

5. The next step is to experience that you are the author of all that can be perceived

6. But wait if it can be perceived you have taken a step backward

7. When nothing is separate from you there is nothing to be perceived or judged

8. Walk deeper into this moment of now, it is eternal, plunge into extending your love into this moment...feel you extending in all direction as all perception is gone.

9. Just be...

there is no ten,

for there never was a separation from God,

it was just a bad dream...

Awaken...and love...for it is all that you are...
