Yes I Make Mistakes!!

Yes I Make Mistakes!!

I don't know why over the past little while people have asked me do I ever make mistakes??
HELLO!
Yes indeed I make mistakes, and just because I am spiritual doesn't mean that won't happen.
I am after all human.
If someone tells you they are perfect and never make mistakes, run the other way. Being spiritual to me means you have a chance to be responsible and work through those mistakes.
(if you choose to)
Here's the biggie AND LEARN THE LESSONS from those mistakes.

This is what I point blank tell people in my rough around the edges way.
"I had to crawl through a lot of crap to get to where I am".
I spent more than a few years alone to get to know me.
I've always had faith that there was more out there.
Since I was a small child in fact I could feel it.

I have learned a long time ago that balance is the key.

So here it is I still make mistakes, and until my last breath
I hope to learn each day something new.
I am not perfect nor is anyone else.
Striving to become a better human being is what I think everyone should do.
Each person can make a difference in this world. I truly believe that.

May peace, love, laughter and the blessings of happiness guide you.

What is The Spiritual Place?

The Spiritual Place is something that lives in each and every one of us. Be it that we choose to acknowledge it or not.

The fuller we live in our soul's realm than we do our physical, more doors in the earth realm open up to us and allows us to live in Abundance.

When we remove, ego, hate, anger, judging, (this list is long so I will just say etc.) and learn to live from true pure unconditional love, life changes. and your life can change as well.

When we deal with all the feel bads that I call the splintering of the soul, we begin to live from a soul that is whole and joyful. We cannot be responsible for what others have done to us, we can merely correct our own mistakes in life.

That to me is what The Spiritual Place is....

Spirituality

Spirituality is something that has long been debated amongst the human race. There seems to be an evolution in regards to the human soul seeking in wishing to attain a higher level of enlightenment. While this is deemed by some as "The New Age Movement", I would simply call it a recognition and a coming back the simple things that are so very important.

Religion does play key role in developing one's personality and moral values. Our parents teach us from childhood (if we are lucky) that there is a greater life force other than human that exists, the Creator of all things. Some people have named this "God", "Allah", "The Creator", it doesn't matter what the name is it's all the same thing. Most of us are taught this, this is our beginnings in connection with spirituality.

All the great minds, geniuses, some world leaders, do not deny that God exists. In fact their belief and faith have been essential in becoming the recognized people that they are. Einstein for example had a strong belief in God. Nelson Mandela suffered greatly however is one of the world's most recognized leaders, who never gave up faith or his belief in God during these years of imprisonment. Gandhi was again another powerful leader who's enlightenment, and determination to not react to violence with violence was a powerful statement.

In my opinion religion does not exist on The Other Side. I believe that it is the human condition to place boundaries on what God is and wants us to do on the earth plane. God is limitless, has no boundaries, is timeless, is love, and doesn't fit into any molds of human conception. While on my path as a seeker/seer of truth, I have studied many different religions. I would recommend strongly for your own development to study different religions. It seems to me that what is missing or void in one religion, the next religion will have meanings that make sense to you.

To me the essence of all living matter on the earth plane are God's creations. It is the essence of light, the beginning of, is what we are all connected to. From your soul. The energy or life force that is so makes up for who you are is where I believe the soul is found... Incased in the intricate functioning of the "heart", and the "brain".

When I see a tree and it's energy, I know that I am part of a greater plan. I have a reverence for all living things, regardless of what it is. We came from the same creator. For me this means, the spark or energy used to create all that is living.... we are a part of. A cosmic or universal connection if you will. This to me is what the essence of spirituality is.

3 Dimensional Human Being

3 Dimensional Human Being

Many human beings are seekers to one degree or another.
While we are upon the 3D realm we know as Earth,( being 3D
beings as well) we have many tasks to fulfill.

Let me explain as simply as I can what a 3 dimensional human being is.

First and perhaps most obvious, is the physical. The
physical of flesh and blood which contains the 5 senses.
Scientists view this as the evidence on which they base much
of their studies and research on. As it represents the
"LOGICAL" based on one or more of the senses.
EXAMPLE: Lab testing involves watching and observing different
results.

The physical thus is merely one part of the 3 dimensional
human being.
The body which is fundamentally governed by "the laws of nature." , it has finite, meaning a beginning and an ending.
(Birth and death)

Second which I would deem the most important ...
is the metaphysical part. The Soul.
The Soul, is generally not seen by scientists or other human
beings. The soul, that has been given by our Creator the free-
will of choice, and to exist as co-creators.
Now this term co-creators may have some of you shaking your
heads, thinking OK... she's way out there.. And that's fine,
perhaps it's not your time to understand this, consciousness. I
am not suggesting as a co-creator, that I am above The Creator.
Rather I am submitting to you, that through our soul state, we were intended to be companions of The Creator, or God.
What our souls lessons are on the Earth realm differs from human to human/ soul to soul. As each experiences different lessons, tests, and many temptations. Temptations that many times leads us away from God's will, into our own will.
The soul is governed by "The Laws of Karma.", which is infinite.
Karma in my humble opinion was not developed as a means to punish us, or inflict emotional/physical pain. Quite the contrary.
I believe God created "The Law of Karma" as a tool to obtain the soul's lessons with.
Scientifically known as "cause and effect/action=reaction."
Religiously known as "an eye for an eye".
The layman term known as "What you give you get."

The soul may return many times in order to "learn" and live God's will vs their human will. In doing so, this guides us away from the "physical" I AM- to the "Spiritual" I AM.
Within the physical trappings of ego, pride, greed, anger, & ME,
to the spirits enlightened being of "How many I help you, " or
"How may I ___________(fill in the blank). " Done so
without expectation of reward of any kind. This alleviating any of the bonds we have entrapped ourselves within the physical state of being.

I am trying to explain the 3 dimensional being which is taken from the physical body
on the Earth realm. However, it is often stated that we are multi-dimensional beings.
This to me represents the soul/spirit state or realm.

The 3rd part of the 3 dimensional beings is the mind.
Thought, intentions, energy used within thought and feelings.
Thought... the mind is an intrigal part of both the physical and the Soul.
However, how many times have you heard that when someone was on a life
support system, that they were termed "Brain Dead". This is lack of energy,
the body and soul are still present.
The mind, thought, intention all of these are the beginnings of our individual collective creativeness, and from what co-creating, co-creator stems from.
Let's fact it, when someone opens a new business or writes or draws, (the list goes on)
The very first concept it is... is thought.
The same is said for intention.
This all enters the conscious thought, of human beings first.

Now let me try to decipher the complexity of the "3".

PHYSICAL=5 SENSES-EXPERIENCING-FINITE-BOUNDARIES
SOUL/SPIRIT=CO-CREATOR-COMPANION TO THE CREATOR,INFINITE
NO BOUNDARIES
MIND-THOUGHT-INTENTION ON THE PHYSICAL CONSCIOUS LEVEL.

This complexity of the 3 is what makes up a human being. Given to us by The Creator.
Some human beings remain trapped by the Earthly sensations. Lessons hence keep repeating till we free ourselves from the Earthly bondage's. We are indeed
souls/spirits on a human journey, at least at this point and time..
(Grins but that is another journey..)

Just Thinking...

Just Thinking...
~
I wish I had a quarter for every time I felt lonely.
But then I'd be the richest,loneliest person.
I wish I had a smile for every tear that I've shed.
But then I'd have a room full of smiles with vacant eyes.
I wish I had strong arms to hold me when life let me down.
But then, I'd have so many arms around me that I'd be struggling to be set free.
And lastly, I wish I didn't feel so strongly, intensely, and deeply.
To the point that I make people want to run and hide.
But then, I wouldn't be me, and then,
you wouldn't remember my name.

We All Need To Be Loved

We All Need To Be Loved
In this very busy world of rush around, and do this and that, people in general have turned off the wonderful emotional part of themselves. Some say it's for self protection. Others will tell you they don't have time because they have too many things they "WANT" to do with their lives. There are those that will concede, money is the reason for their lives.

To me these are excuses for not really living.

Self Protection Hurts You
When you close off your feelings for protection purposes, you prevent yourself from being the true loving soul you are meant to be. Yes we all have experiences that hurt, however when you deal with that from an emotional level, (and stand in your own truth with it) loving again and being open to loving becomes much easier.
No two human beings are exactly the same, so isn't it time to stop passing judgment on everyone, because of one or two people?
Self protection from loving=loneliness and depression.
That is how this self protection hurts you.

Too Busy
Many of us wake up and rush into the shower,
-take the children to day care
-head off to work
-pick up groceries after work
-pick up the children
-cook dinner
-do some hous work
-get ready for a well needed rest
Only to start all over again the next morning.

That constant go..go..go, is usually just for wants.
Our society is so judgmental and greed driven that many people fall into the trap of not listening to what their spirit needs. Instead, they listen to what society deems as the standard.

Ask yourself these questions an ponder upon it before you answer!

1- Are you tired all the time, and still don't have "YOU" time?
2-Is there someone in your family needing you, more than what you can give?
3-Are there road blocks in what you are spending all your time on ?

If you are tired all the time and still don't have enough time or you time, you must ask yourself if the path you've taken is worth it. Only you can answer this.
Is your happiness worth what you are doing ?

There is no amount money that can compare to the time spent with your family. If you feel inside that you are ripping someone off time wise that really needs you, listen to that inner voice. In the long run, you will happy you did.

Road blocks is the tough one. You have to already be in a state of watching and listening to the signs that the universe is providing for you. If it feels like you are going in circles not getting anywhere there is a good chance you are not getting anywhere. Ask for signs from the Creator. You will get them.

Standing in your own truth is so very important.

Money Motivated Living
I think this one is more prevalent in life today than anything else.
Many are chasing the all mighty dollar. If a piece of paper determines your worth I have to say without judging that your life really isn't worth very much. Sure today's society again sets the standards, but I am sure you would rather be a leader than a follower. If you stand in your own truth, you know if you have the basis covered (fed, housed and clothed). You are already further ahead than many that have nothing. So what if you don't have that fancy car, or swanky house. The richest people I know have a generosity, and abundance of spirit that shines through more than anything. That to me is wealth. Money is a tool to be used for good things. What I mean by that is giving without expectation of receiving in return is true giving. That is being rich.

So how do you ask does that apply to the title ? "We All Need To Be Loved" These are mere steps loving yourself. When you love yourself, without limits, love returns to you. When you take the time to get off the rat race tread mill, you are beginning to listen to what the universe has planned for you vs. what you have planned for you. You live much more fully as a loving being on a daily basis, than you do as one following the masses. 10% of the people in the world do a job that they love. What happens to the other 90%? Be one of the 10%. Love the job you have, or find one you do love. We all need to be loved. When everything in your life is positive and smoothly flowing, you exude love and you begin to truly live.

Your Anger is Your Ego Working Overtime!

Your Anger is Your Ego Working Overtime!

You've been standing in line for 1/2 an hour
waiting to be seated at a table for lunch that
you only have a 1 hour time slot for.

Or

Someone just cut you off while driving
making you swerve to miss hitting them.

Or

You have 5 minutes to get to work
and there is a traffic back up that
makes it impossible to be there for at least
another 20 minutes.

These are all scenarios of what causes us to get frustrated and even angry. I am sure you can think of a few yourself that causes that little rage monkey to rear it's head. However, have you stopped to contemplate exactly why anger exists or comes out ?

Each and every one of us has been raised with a set of values and morals. Some of us are fortunate enough to also have instilled in us some spiritual values. Whatever it is, you at an early age, were taught what is acceptable and what is deemed not acceptable. We are taught to be proud of our accomplishments. The list goes on and differs from family to family.
As human beings we have set limits and boundaries on almost everything.

Seems wonderful right ? Well you decide for yourself.
From this we are also taught in a more subtle way, not to accept others ways of being.
Can you not remember as a child, being told not to associate with this person or that one because of how they behave or are because of their parents? While sometimes it's for good cause i.e.. safety issues, more times than not it's because of a lack of understanding for another's lifestyle.
This is what brings out EGO to the forefront.
We learn our way is the right way with no room for anyone else's way.
As we grow we learn not to take it so literally, however it stays in our subconscious.
Residual effects.
Our ego begins to behave on a subconscious level and anger takes over.
When we are offended isn't it because we wouldn't treat someone that way, so why would they treat us that way ?
Isn't that ego ?
The anger comes out, as a result of whatever the offense to our moral and value upbringing goes against.
But....
You can change that.
No it's not simple because for many of us we have had years of it..
My example is I would get angry over my feelings being hurt, because I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone. If my character was bashed, that would send me reeling because again, it's not what I would do to anyone.
This is ego working it's magic into anger.

Once I began to understand this, I started to accept that each person has the right to live with whatever morals or values
they inherited from their family. It took away my judging, hence ego started to be removed, strange enough so did the anger.

Understanding where anger comes from is the first steps into removing it from your energy and spirit.
