Prayer Without Words

Prayer Without Words is not just symbolic or metaphorical.  It is a very real act.  Praying without using words, isn’t empty.    It’s also not the act of using images or thinking thoughts.   If anyone is sincere in their prayers, but uses words to make up the body of the prayer, then they can also pray without the use of words.

Guide for how to pray without words.

To proceed in practicing this method of praying:

As we pray with sincerity – as we pray our normal way of praying, we usually have both words and feelings.  We especially have both when we pray for someone we love who is suffering or in need.  It is these prayers which come from our heart and it is the heart that is at the core of the Prayer Without Words.

If we find we’ve relied so much on words, that we’ve forgotten to add our heart, then we may have a little difficulty.  But, try anyway.

We begin by praying one’s normal prayer, for example, The Lord’s Prayer or any other prayer that  is meaningful to us.  In praying this with sincerity, we are talking to God, not reciting to Him.  Go ahead, talk to Him.  Then, as we’re talking to Him, we let go of wondering whether we’re doing any good.  We simply talk to Him through our words.  We talk to Him, letting our hearts be a part of the contact.

If we need to change the words of the prayer to make it real for ourselves, then go ahead.

Then, when we’re in the middle of the prayer, stop speaking – stop thinking the words – leave “words” behind, but continue to pray.  Keep going.  Don’t judge or critique anything.  Continue the heart in prayer, but don’t use words.  Don’t analyze either, and just continue the heart in prayer.

I will not add my comments to what the experience will or won’t be for anyone.  But, a word to the wise, if ever our heart is not in it, then we are not really praying.

I’ve found for myself, that occasionally a word or 3 may still come forth wanting to be expressed.  When so, I’ve expressed them.

The two types of prayer – with and without words are both different from each other yet still hold similar aspects.  Both have their purpose.

‘The Horrible News’ or ‘How to Save a Planet’

A friend asks, “What do we do with all the horrible news?”  I’m going to consider this a question about the news we hear around the world on the television, the news we read about in newspapers and on the Internet – news about wars, governments, disasters, pain, suffering, suicides, etc., and etc, and etc.

First, I will absolutely agree with anyone who says it can be and is overwhelming.  It is frustrating to hear all this news.  It is discouraging, sometimes bringing us to grief and despair even wondering how this world can be so full of insanity and horrors.  It can and does move us to feel sorrow for human beings, including ourselves.  It brings forth our pain, and can bring us to feel depressed, afraid, ever doubtful, and wondering if we should give up at even trying to offer some help.   After all, how can one person even make a dent in the insanity and horrors that is reported in the news every day.

If you feel anything like these feelings, just know you’re not alone.  Being on a planet where all these things happen, generating all these feelings is a most truly difficult and challenging thing.  Many of us succumb to the shear weight of the sorrow, pain, suffering, insanity and daily news.

However,…

I know of no soul that came into this planet that did not come with a purpose – the purpose of moving forward in their soul’s growth.   Yet, it is not difficult to lose being on the path of one’s soul’s growth.  All we have to do is think of our own benefit and well-being as being more important than anyone else’s.  All we have to do to get off our path is be selfish and putting our self first.  See?  That’s how easy it is.

And we’ve all done it.  We’ve all acted selfishly in small ways and sometimes in great huge ways.  If you doubt that you’ve ever done anything on the same level that you see on the news, then just look at your past lives.  Don’t remember them?  Guess why.

How do we get back on the path?  This is the challenge of any of the souls that want to move ourselves, our species, and our planet forward.

We start with prayer and meditation.  Or we can start with prayer by itself.  Or we can start with meditation by itself.  In both of these, we send out our call to God to help the life/lives on this planet.  Why start this way?  Because, to save a planet, we need unity and purpose.  We need guidance and love.  We need fortitude and persistence.  We get all of this and more when God is involved with us, and the One called on to help us.

When we hear the news stories, not that many people use it as a call to prayer, but that’s what it is.  We are being told of who needs our prayers and who needs Light sent to them.

Sure, everyone around the globe needs prayers and everyone around the globe needs Light and energy sent to them.   But, I caution anyone to think that they and they alone are the ones to save those poor souls.

Remember, souls are here to work on ourselves, and we have many lifetimes to grow, learn and work on ourselves.  We have been given freewill and we use it many times to decide to not grow, not learn and not work on ourselves.  These are decisions that humans make.  And we see the result of these decisions impacts in the world.  However, at the same time, we can and do also see the results of when we, (of our own freewill) choose to learn, to grow, to work on ourselves – to be kind to someone, to forgive someone, to be patient with someone, to be more understanding of someone, to show mercy to someone.

It is unfortunate that we don’t yet have news casts that report on where our prayers have helped.  No newscaster reports, “The prayers of last week helped the country of …. when they had to face ….”  Maybe one day.

For anyone who is willing, we are here to strive, to dig in, to bring forth that Light that helps to change whole planets.  We are here to do that which we are doing – bring forth change.  And we do that by changing ourselves, first.   We do this by leaning on each other.  We do this by needing each other.  We do this by helping each other.  We are not here to coast or tread water, or to sleep away the life we live.  We – a certain number of us – have chosen to go forward – to wake up – and not go back to sleep.

We do this all within the context of cooperating with God, because in truth, it is the Spirit of Infinite Love that we have inside our hearts – sometimes without remember this.  It is the Spirit of Infinite Forgiveness that helps us to see beyond anyone’s actions to them still being a soul that needs help in some way.  It is in the Spirit of Infinite Patience that helps us to wake up in the morning and start thinking, “What can I do on this one day that may help one person?”  Maybe, we’ll say the prayer, “God, help me remember you, today.  Help me remember Love, today.  Help me remember kindness, today.  Help me remember who I am, today.  Today, God, help me remember that I love.”

Through this, we move forward one day at a time.  It has always been thus, and it will always be thus.  And it won’t all happen in one lifetime.

So, to answer the question, “What do we do with all the horrible news?” – perhaps it is a call for prayers – prayers like, “God, what can I do to help You with Your work of Loving?”

Prejudice of Ages

How silly humanity in general has been with so many years of prejudice against people involved in interracial marriages, same sex marriages, cross-cultural marriages, mixed political marriages, this or that marriage, and on and on and on.

Unlearning prejudice found in any human experience or human arena is a slow process.  The prejudices come from learned fears, from desire to fit in, from the desire to be loved and approved from those who are supposed to love us, and from our own past life experiences with different races and subcultures – whether those past experiences are cooperative or combative.

Many, many, many, many times, the prejudice and hatred comes from past life connections where there are still grudges and resentments towards a particular group or people.  Acts like “raids on groups”, raiding, pillaging and killing in wars, make for many prejudices.  All races and groups have been targeted at some time in some way, and many different groups have been slaves or bought and sold. Sometimes, in human history all that was required to be enslaved was to be defeated in battle.

Many groups have been perceived as second class, lower class, or lower caste, and these experiences sometimes are hard to go through.  Still others use these experiences to justify their vendetas, grudges or resentments or even to build new ones.

So, it will take time for prejudice to heal.  Since it can come from very real damage and harm done to each other in the past.  And each person will have to resolve it in their own time within their own heart, mind and soul.  Do you think?  This is also a contributing factor in the Middle Eastern conflicts and in the attack of 9-11.

What is interesting is that there is no one on this planet that has NOT experienced being on the receiving end of prejudice.  Everyone has, whether based on race, religion, gender, financial situation, spiritual belief, disability, weight, physical features, ethnicity, sexual preference, sometimes their job, etc.  And I say this regardless of whether we may see how that possibly could be true “for that other person over there who looks way better off than I am.” (Having this thought is a symptom of prejudice.)

I can go into a room of any number of people and show you how each person has been singled out in at least 3 different ways, just by being who they are.  Women, men, black, white, brown, red, Hispanic, Asian, European, Native American, Christians, Jews, Muslims, tall, short, small, large – no group has been free from being on the receiving end of hatred, disrespect, fear, attack, ridicule, different types of abuse and the like because of their group – even psychics.  Yes, there are groups that have predominately received recent prejudice, but all groups of peoples and different subcultures have received it at some time in the past, and even now in the present.

Prejudice has been the source of much human pain and suffering.  Pain and suffering is something that no human ever escapes.  Jesus Christ didn’t escape pain and suffering then or now, and Robin Williams didn’t escape pain and suffering, either.  Pray for all who suffer – whether on this side of the veil or the other.  When we are in pain and suffering, we tend to strike out at whomever we think is the cause.  This is the birth of prejudice.  Pray for all who are in pain.

Demons?

So are you seeing the demons coming out of hell? [From a comment in the “Tribulation…” article]

Be warned.  You’re not going to like my answer.  It’s not the answer you’re wanting.  But, it is the answer that will be presented here.

God calls no soul “demon”.  All beings/souls are equally seen and truly loved by God.  The “demons” you and so many of us are really afraid of are the demons within ourselves that we’ve done nothing to change or heal.  It is these inner demons that we’ve used as a channel to inflict pain and suffering onto others in the past and present – whether in this life and remembered, or in past lives and forgotten.

Change the demons within one’s self through effort, willingness, study, forgiveness and letting go of judgement and in time, you, too, could find yourself no longer calling God’s creations/children, “demons” – whether they are incarnated into a body or not incarnated into a body.

When we’ve faced our own demons, how we see others – including those we’ve labeled with insulting names – will change.

The Edgar Cayce Readings state, “There is good in the worst of us, and there is bad in the best of us.”

Have you ever been labeled with an insulting name by someone else who sees you as “bad” through their negative and hurtful lens?  They may see you as a demon.  If anyone has received insults, it then behooves us to ask ourselves if we’re sure we want to look at other souls, spirits, entities of any kind negatively as being demons, when, at the same time, we haven’t done anything to change the demons we have inside of ourselves.

There are many in the world that are willing to label other life forms or souls, both incarnate and discarnate, with insulting names, and they have been willing through all ages.  If any of us chooses to be one of these many that insults others, then remember, an unwillingness to change the demons within on anyone’s part, points to a continued willingness and desire within to inflict pain and suffering onto others.

******

“When we insult God’s creations, we’re insulting God.”

“All of us have lapses in our willingness to change ourselves.  It helps to remember that we can get up, dust ourselves off and get back into the ‘transformation through forgiveness’ game.”

Today

There are questions that come forth about “What will happen -when or if- this or that comes true as predicted or speculated?”

While these questions can be useful up to a point, it is best for them to be the last questions to ask.  The better question always to ask is a question for us to best ask ourselves, because we ourselves are the ones that know the answers.

“What are we doing TODAY to bring forth the Christ Spirit in our lives and the lives of those we come in contact with?”  As Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow.  Let tomorrow worry about itself.  Deal with today.” Matthew 6:25-34.

The questions of today are way more important to ask. Whether we brought pain and suffering to someone or whether we helped lift someone up, the question is here to ask.

Who is in our life that needs understanding and compassion, TODAY?
or Who were we rude to, or mean to or hurtful to, TODAY?
Who needs a kind word, TODAY?
or Who were we judgmental towards, TODAY?
Who can we forgive TODAY?
or Who’s life did we add pain and suffering to, TODAY?
Who can we show mercy towards TODAY?
or Who did we insult or show disrespect – TODAY?
Who can we pray for, TODAY?
or Who did we hate, TODAY?
Who can we help, TODAY?
Who needs our patience, TODAY?
Who needs gentle kindness, TODAY?
Who did we give a demonstration of love to, TODAY?

If it’s the future or phenomenon, or drama, or amazing and strange earthly occurances that we seek, then these are here today and gone tomorrow.  We more often treat them only as entertainment – and not anything that sways beliefs or actions. But, the acts of understanding, compassion, kindness, forgiveness, mercy and love are the miracles that are capable of changing – lifting up – lives, forever.

The Tribulation and the Time of Jesus’ Return

Q:  You said that you see us in the times and half times. Isn’t that during the tribulation in Revelation? Could this mean that we are living in time of Jesus return?

A: Remember, the questions you have are questions many others are wondering about also.  There’s a great deal that is left unexplained in our world.  Now is the time in our lives that many things can be asked and answered.  So, I welcome any question that someone may have gnawing at them.

To answer your questions: I want to preface by saying that this whole topic can easily have (and has had) books written to explain this.  It would be worth it to read some of them.

Okay.  Here’s how I’ll start to answer this.  (Don’t worry too much if you don’t understand all of it.  It’s on the Internet and anyone who wants can return to it at will, reread it and understand a little more each time.)

Both the inner experience and the outer experience of that described in Revelations are possible in the same time frame.  The consciousness transformation described in Revelations must happen within individuals to prepare the way for Christ to return in the same body in which He ascended.  It is the opening within individuals to the Christ within, and the establishing of the Christ Spirit within the consciousness of individuals that sets in motion and brings forth the manifestation of Jesus Christ in the body.  One will not happen without the other.

The Christ Spirit within each individual is the Highest Self within the individual – that part of our consciousness that has never left the realm of the Father.  As Christ said, “I and the Father are One.”  and “I am in you, as the Father is in me.”  These statements can bring forth the awareness that within all of us, the Christ Spirit resides, and at the same time, is always One with the Father.

As we open to this very tangible aspect of who we are, and pour forth this aspect into the world, (as the pouring forth of the water at the wedding of Cana)  our Higher Self – our Christ Self- we bring forth the Spirit of Christ into manifestation in the world we live in (the water turning into wine.)   As we continue to manifest the Christ Spirit through the different ways to manifest love, – the fruits of the Spirit, such as forgiveness, mercy, patience, humility, kindness, love, compassion, understanding, etc – we “lay down the palm fronds” that allow the Christ Spirit to enter into the manifested Earth – the manifested Earth being the body that was flesh and blood, made from the dust of the Earth, that ascended and will be reestablished at the designated time the Father determines.

So, in a vision, I saw that we are in the times and half times.  But, these “times and half times” are not designated by a calendar, but by the process of transformation within the hearts and minds of human beings.  Tribulations galore are happening in our world – not just to the world at large, but to individuals in this world.  The Earth itself does not experience our tribulations.  We as people experience them.

Yet, transformation is happening also.  It is each individual’s freewill choice to decide how and when to address the tribulations that each individual faces.  By facing these challenges in life, by transforming our response to life’s situations, our own transformation can occur.

Many souls now alive in the Earth work to continue to open to and manifest the Christ Spirit within through prayers, through meditation, through the study of dreams, through health efforts, through cooperation, through forgiveness, through courage, through loving kindness, through support of others, through service, and through any other way that any individual is inspired to manifest the Creative Spirit that guides our efforts – (meaning ‘creative ideas’.)

Metaphysically speaking:  the efforts to bring forth the Christ Spirit on this planet, have the effect of raising the vibration that exists in the world.  This raising of the vibration of the planet itself creates an environment which sets the stage for the Highest Vibration – the Christ Spirit vibration – the vibration of pure Love – the vibration of the Light of Love – the “God in Man” vibration to then enter into this physical realm.  It is as has been said before – “I stand at the door and knock.”  We need only prepare the way, and open the door.  And we are working towards that.

SIDE NOTE:  The calamities around the globe are NOT a demonstration of the vibration lowering in the planet.  If the vibration were not raising in the planet, we would not be having all these calamities.  This fact may not be easily understood, but it is much like turning up the heat under a pot of water to purify the water.  As the level of vibration raises – the temperature – the pot boils releasing the energy within the water.  If there were no raising of the temperature vibration – the pot would not boil – leaving all energy dormant within the water.  In this metaphor, the impurities of the water cannot be removed without the water boiling and turning to steam.  The transformation happens and the impurities are no longer part of the water. (Here, the impurities are hatred, prejudice, criticism, judging others, intolerance, selfishness, etc.)

To purify the water, the vibration must be raised.  Now, to continue with the water metaphor, the water – people – don’t always want to be purified.  The fact that the Earth is to become a place for Spirit to manifest in greater and greater ways means that those who do not choose transformation – the alignment with the Christ Spirit vibration – the alignment with brotherhood, loving kindness, patience, perseverance, forgiveness, acceptance, tolerance, understanding, etc, – may not be allowed to re-enter into another cycle of lives in the Earth, until such time that they have a closer matching vibrational environment allowing them to return to the Earth realm and work again on themselves, to face the impurities within themselves.

God is the God of Mercy and Patience – Infinite Mercy and Infinite Patience.  As such God will not allow any soul to be left behind but give opportunities for each soul to turn back to God until even the last soul is on the path back to God.  Christ is committed to this when He said, “He who would be first, must be last.” Mark 9:35.  “Whoever would be greatest among you must serve all the rest.”  Matthew 23:11.  He recognized this for Himself.

RETURN TO THE TOPIC:

There are predictions from thousands of years ago describing this time period and the potential that this time period can offer.  These are predictions that so many people have no idea even exist.  Each person has the right to choose whether they will participate and “wake up” to all that is possible, or “stay asleep” and see nothing out of the ordinary.  And this fact means that for some who are awake to this, they see that it is the times and half times, and for preparing the way of the Lord.  And for others, who are asleep to this, the see nothing and therefore, it isn’t.  Remember, 2000 years ago, to many, it was just another day as usual, with nothing special happening “according to them.”  But, to some, it was the Day of the Lord that came upon them.

This Jesus knows and hence why He said, “Many will say, ‘Here is Christ or there is Christ.”  pointing to external events and people coming forth fostering the belief that it is only an “external” event.  But, those who have opened to the Christ within, will know when that which is within them manifests in the world.  Those who work to continuously bring forth the Spirit of Love towards others, will recognize this Spirit of Love in the Earth from already having known it and shared it from within their own heart, mind and soul.

Finally, I add that Jesus is already at work in the Earth and has never stopped.  Many people have had personal direct encounters of Jesus and Mary.  We know of personal stories from Medjugorje, Fatima, Lourdes, and others.  One book I recommend is “I Am With You Always”, by G. Scott Sparrow.

End of the World, Blood Moons, Eclipses, etc.

I’m going to answer questions about the End of the World, and signs portending to the “End of the World” in this way.

First, the world has ended and begun again differently so many times that no one can keep count.  Sometimes, it is easy to see, like for those who remember September 11, 2001.  The “World as we knew it” ended and a different world began.  The world has ended many times and begun again differently many times.  There are many areas around the globe where the people can say, “The world as we knew it ended.”  So, if anyone is telling you that the world is ending, they could be right.  The world they know could be ending, but there will be another one to begin, just like it always happens.

Second, the issue then becomes “what kind of God do any of us believe it?  Do we believe in a God that will call it quits? and destroy a whole planet?”  To those that suggest this, I answer this way.

Imagine if you will, a God that is infinite.  There are some that try to imagine this or even believe it, but yet, they don’t take it further in meaning.  This means infinite in everything – with no end.  To believe in a God that is infinite means believing in a God that is infinite in patience, infinite in mercy, infinite in understanding, infinite in kindness, infinite in forgiveness, infinite in love and infinite in wisdom.  Now imagine He sends Christ to help us to know Our Father, in a greater way.  Now, imagine Christ says, “If you see me, you see the Father.”  And Christ shows us friendship, kindness, love, mercy, forgiveness, goodwill and a peace that passes our own understanding.

Yet, if we believe God is not like Jesus, then we can only believe that Christ lied to us, when He said, “If you see me, you see the Father.”

However, if we believe Jesus told us the truth when He said the previous words, as well as “Love one another, as I have loved you.”, then we must allow for it then to be possible, that when we see Christ’s forgiveness, we are seeing the Father’s forgiveness.  When we see Christ’s kindness, we are seeing the Father’s kindness.  When we see Jesus’ mercy and understanding, we are seeing God’s mercy and understanding.  And when we see Christ’s love, we are seeing the Father’s love.  All with no end.

There is no end to God’s patience and understanding.  There is no end to God’s mercy and forgiveness.  It is the nature of being infinite.  There is no end to love.

Is this the God anyone believes in?  Or do any of us believe in a God that would hurt people and subject them to horrors, be impatient and take away His children’s chance to learn and grow by destroying the planet.

What kind of God do you believe in?  You have freewill to believe as you choose.

The Return of Christ

When you see the future, when do you see Christ physically returning, around what time period? C.

It is for the Father to decide when Jesus will return in physical form to walk the Earth.

The process of predicting involves many factors, and one of those factors is the will of God.  Likewise, there are many factors involved with the return of Christ.  One of those factors, too, is the will of God.  Likewise, another factor in both of these is the willingness of human beings to attune to the will of God.  Human beings have freewill and freewill will never be taken away.  Put this altogether and it means what Jesus, Himself, said, “Only the Father knows.”

Predicting is only called predicting, because events have not yet happened.  Yet, many events have already been laid out, planned and set in motion.  These events are present to be foreseen and shared.  We call this predicting.  However, not all events are set in motion.  Many events are determined by choices human beings make – whether we turn right or turn left – whether we go forward or backwards.  The return of Christ will happen when humankind is ready, and right now there are 7, going on 8 billion people who are using their freewill to decide their lives, and this determines readiness.

If this confuses you, then live as if Christ were in your life already.  Imagine giving Jesus a big hug, and Him hugging you right back.

Question of 8-2-2014: The Rapture

What do you mean by this? “I do not see it as a literal event on the planet Earth. But, I do see it as a personal experience awaiting those who seek to open to greater awareness of one’s relationship to God, oneself and others.” C. (See the comments of “Prayer, Meditation, Edgar Cayce and Hurricanes” for the subject matter topic.)

Everyone on Earth has different beliefs.  This is because everyone is different.  No two lives are the same and no experience means the same thing to any two people.  You’re beliefs are yours, which you’ve developed throughout your life.  In addition to that, you don’t have the same beliefs that you had when you were 6 years old or any other age, and you will adjust or change beliefs as you continue to live your life.  You have already and you will continue.  This is the way life is for everyone.

So…I mean that when I look psychically, I do not see this event, as believed and defined by people holding this set of beliefs, to occur on the planet Earth in the form that is readily believed and defined by those people holding to these beliefs.  I see a continuation of life on Earth for generations and generations with the normal human need for learning and growth carrying on.

I see the continuation of life on Earth for generations so as to allow even greater opportunities to open both minds and hearts to an ever expanding awareness of the “world in which we live.”  I see a continuation of the social, spiritual, community, and mental and emotional evolutions in the same way that mankind has been growing and evolving for centuries and centuries.  I also see a God with Infinite Patience for all of us.  I see God’s Infinite Patience being a foundation for His helping us to grow in our awareness of the true relationship we have with each other and Him.

Finally, I see what many term “The Rapture” as being a decidedly inner experience and not a physical experience.  I see this being a consciousness experience happening on one’s own road to greater awareness of one’s self and one’s relationship to God and all life.  It is an experience that happens at the “individual” level, because every individual is different and in a different place on their path to greater awareness.  And in this definition, I reiterate that there are no shortcuts to greater awareness of our relationship to God, to one another and all life.  The “Rapture” does not release anyone from the inner work of healing all these relationships.  This must be done.  This inner work is the work of forgiveness, mercy, loving kindness, patience, tolerance, understanding, etc. and etc.

This is what I mean.   I hope this helps.

Prayer, Meditation, Edgar Cayce and Hurricanes

While Edgar Cayce himself participated in drilling for oil in the 1920′s, and the readings tried to help him, he didn’t succeed at that particular time.  The readings considered the venture worth pursuing, though. However, what he did succeed in at that time, and during his life, was help people to learn the power and influence of meditation and prayer.

We can see this now as being a powerful force to help in facing disasters here on Earth.  In my own work, I was able to psychically see that after Hurricane Katrina, the outpouring of prayers for the entire Gulf Region – the outpouring of prayers coming from across the country – brought forth the Christ Spirit to protect the Gulf during the entire 2006 hurricane season and 1/2 of the 2007 hurricane season.  While meteorologists were baffled, expecting a great many hurricanes, it was a quiet season and they didn’t know why.  I did.

Skeptics could have a field day with this vision I describe.  But, it brings us face to face with the challenge.  Do we believe in prayer and meditation or not?  Do we believe prayer can change things in this world?  Do we believe the power of thousands and even millions praying and meditating can change the future, change the Earth, and change situations for the better?

What about the questions, “What are we thinking that will happen that will let us know that our prayers have been answered? How will it appear?  Will there be signs in the sky telling us, ‘Your prayer has been answered from XYZ happening to ABC happening’?”

I don’t think so.  Who else saw or even considered that it was the prayers of the many that resolved the 2006 hurricane season?  But, if we believe that prayer and meditation can change things, then we are going to have to expect things to not happen as they may be expected.  And we may not fully be aware that we did in fact change the future with our prayers and meditations.

Edgar Cayce and the readings spoke often of the power of God.  The readings speak of Christ and His current and continuous involvement in our lives.  Books abound about personal contact with Jesus Christ and other spiritual beings.  All of these describe a very active involvement by the Divine with our personal and collective lives.  And so, we have to decide if we believe in prayer and meditation or not, because prayer and meditation are practices that can make direct contact with the Divine.   Edgar Cayce’s readings are clear about this over and over again.

Many believe it is important to pray and meditate but yet expect nothing to come from it.   That’s like playing the lottery, but throwing  the ticket away in the trash, the same moment we buy it.  Putting effort forth, but expecting nothing from that effort.

I think I remember E.C.’s readings saying, (someone may have to help me with the reading number)  “Expect much, you’ll gain much.  Expect little and you won’t be disappointed.”

I think this is telling us that God is eager to be an active participant in creating this world that we live in, and affecting our lives in a healing and supportive way.  But, God won’t take away our freewill to choose to bolt and lock the door before He enters, when we’ve just finished inviting Him in.

What I tell people is something that I’ve come to realized for myself from reading and studying the Edgar Cayce readings.  I don’t know if it’s specifically in the  readings, but the readings have helped me to be aware of this.

Don’t trust the doubt we have in God.  Don’t trust the doubt we have in ourselves, our prayers, or our meditations.  Doubt is not truth.  We may have it but it’s not true and need not be trusted.  God’s readiness to be active in our lives is the truth.

In praying for any disaster anywhere, right now, let’s not tell God what He is capable of or not capable of.   Let’s ask Him to show us.  Studying the readings have helped me to believe that God rejoices in the opportunities to show us what He can do.  A new paradigm is being created on this planet – by God – through us and with us.  Through our prayers and meditations, we can participate in this new paradigm in ways we could never have come up with by ourselves.  But, God won’t do it without us if we decide to not participate.

How do we know?

Hi Jodie! I wasn’t sure where to ask my question, so I thought I would put it here, hehe.. I “stumbled” across your page awhile ago, looking for information one day about Edgar Cayce and Atlantis and I found you! :D I really enjoy reading your entries and find myself reading and re-reading everything you have here.. Love it! So, the other day I was talking to a friend and was a bit conflicted. He mentioned that not once does “Jesus” get mentioned when referencing the “New Age movement”.. In that, he doesn’t know who is behind these notions of lets say, Law of Attraction, or Living in the Now, etc. etc. So, I was a bit conflicted by that because he used to be all about researching Osho and everything that he lumps into “New Age” now, which includes channeling (the Seth readings, Abraham-Hicks, Bashar via Darryl Anka, etc.), crystals, psychic readings, etc. etc. So, I guess my question is, how do we know what is right and what is wrong? If reading these books, researching about law of attraction, etc. is “evil” and not information that is of Jesus and the church, but we are learning about it with good and pure intentions, does that still put us in the wrong? Will we not be “saved”? Honestly, I don’t know much about religion, but feel like the information out there about this so called “New Age Stuff” is positive and I wanted to see what your take on it was.. I might sound naive and I hope I don’t offend anyone, but it made me question my “faith” and I have always thought I was in the right (but his views made me question myself, which scared me).  (VanessaM)

I’m almost jokingly tempted to write, “Yes, Vanessa, there is a Jesus in what you are learning about.”  But, I won’t.

You’re questions are good questions to ask.  To answer them, go back to much of what Jesus said at different times.

I’ll preface all of this with the statements that like any system of beliefs, what is called “New Age Thought”, is many times used to lump so many different beliefs under one name.  Since that is what we have to work with, I’ll go with it, even though some of the beliefs of the “New Age” have been around longer than many versions of today’s religions.

Let’s take a look at Jesus’ ministry.  During that time, his message was overwhelmingly about how we behave towards one another.  There is no mistaking this.  The first two commandments he gave were about love.  Love God above all else, and Love your neighbor as yourself.  His admonition to know who was a follower of His, was along the same lines, when he directed that we will know one another by our demonstration of the Fruits of the Spirit – the fruits being loving kindness, mercy, patience, charity, brotherhood, compassion, cooperation, forgiveness, understanding, faith, and more.

At the same time, I’ll mention that Jesus did not condemn other religions – he condemned hypocrisy and self-serving agendas.  Even though he walked among the Romans, he never condemned the Romans or that they had different beliefs.  In fact, John, the Baptist, also didn’t condemn the Roman’s beliefs, but instead said to the Romans, to be honest in their dealings as Romans.  John did condemn some actions which were also self-serving.

We can look at every religion, and hold to the same questions that you have.  How do we tell who is sincere in their following God?  The answer I adhere to is whether they practice what they preach.  If we want to label one religion as the only right one, or any religion over any other, then I think we”re missing Jesus’ message – that the main question we need to ask ourselves isn’t about what we believe, as it is what we do with our beliefs.  Do we use our beliefs to bring brotherhood, harmony, kindness, forgiveness, mercy or understanding in dealing with the people in our lives?  Or do we use our believes as weapons against others, bringing separation, condemnation or hatred into ours and others lives?  Do we use our beliefs to unite one another, sowing peace instead of war, or do we use our beliefs to go to war, attacking others in some way?

For the most part, every religion I can think of has the ability to bring more peace to this world, but every religion also gets used to bring war into this world.

That which we believe lies inside the mind and is a belief system (called a paradigm,) but how we live, demonstrate and activate our beliefs, comes from the heart.  If we hold forgiveness, patience, kindness in our heart, our beliefs are in line with the one who said “Love one another, as I have loved you.”  However, if we choose to hold criticism, bitterness, resentment, hatred, vengeance, prejudice, contention or separation, in our hearts, no paradigm of beliefs will ever counter that using any rationality or logic.  Our life simply will not be one of Love.

Like every religion or any other way of believing – whether it be science, math, psychology, philosophy, politics or anything – they all have adherents who go both ways with regards to their hearts, and therefore their beliefs.  Those who wish to use any of these beliefs to serve their own judgements and condemnations, supporting their own agendas will find ways to do that within the paradigm/belief system they’ve chosen.  Those who wish to use any of these beliefs to love more, support brother and sisterhood, be more forgiving, understanding, or kind, also will find ways to do that within their own paradigm/belief systems.

As it is said, “God seeks mercy, not sacrifice.”  We don’t need to sacrifice any belief we have that we feel brings us to love more and then demonstrate love more.  Know that what a person has in their heart, is what guides a person in how they show themselves to the world.

If any of us find our beliefs changing as time goes on, then wouldn’t it be harmonious to let those new beliefs help us to love God more, also?  And then to Love our neighbor as ourselves more?

Every way of believing has the potential for Christ to be a part of and to come forth from within it.  Why? Because, His message was “Love one another, as I have loved you.” and we can bring this forth in any setting or context using any language or ideology.  It depends on us, and how we manifest our beliefs.

There are some that go around professing the name of Jesus Christ to anyone within earshot.  They will make sure their beliefs are known to those around them.  And they wear Jesus’ name on their sleeve, as if only saying the name is all that’s needed to live in our world.

There are others that quietly go around doing acts of kindness to someone who is beaten down by life’s circumstances. They extend patience and help to others who are struggling with the burdens they’re carrying.  They show mercy to those that are suffering in darkness, and understanding and compassion to someone who needs a friend in a moment of pain.  They don’t speak loudly the name of Christ, so everyone can know about them, but they do pray quietly within their own hearts for those they know could use a helping prayer.

Which one do you think actually knows the real Jesus Christ?

I will say this truly – Jesus Christ lives inside the act of kindness, not the act of criticism.  Christ lives inside the act of compassion and understanding towards another and not speeches of judging others.  If we find kindness, understanding and compassion in people, it will be these people that live with Christ.  When we practice the kindness, the understanding and compassion for people, Christ will live within us.  Then and only then will those beliefs we choose for ourselves be ours that connect us directly to Christ.

Finally, I’ll let you in on a secret.  No one is so bad, that there is not some good in them – some kindness, some forgiveness, some understanding of another, etc. and hence with Christ inside them. And no one is so good, that there is not some bad in them – some lack of understanding, some prejudice, some contention, some bitterness – which causes Christ to be set aside.

DIYers and Grid Independence in the Coming Decades

(Photo credit to imperfectlyhappy.com)

There is a huge resurgence of Do-It-Yourselfers and independent living enthusiasts in the U.S., also called “getting off the grid” with the numbers growing all the time.  The Internet is one of the best tools for finding out how to do this.

This is perceived by some as extremism.  If one thinks the nation is going to turn upside down in the next few years, and that they’ll be vindicated, then, yes, I would say this is an extreme view.  However, what I see isn’t that there is an extremism movement, but that people are tuning into their intuition, recognizing that their lives are dependent on their own actions, promises from any ‘outside-of-themselves source’ i.e. the government, are rarely going to happen, if at all.   An important factor in this perception is not knowing the correct timeline for this self-reliance to be most needed.

The movement isn’t happening just because of fear.  Extremism is happening because of fear, but not the movement to DIY and becoming more independent.  This is based on an inner resource.  What I “see” is that times are coming when DIY skills and grid independence are going to be needed, and people are intuitively tuning into this need for more self-reliance – a need which will grow in the coming decades as populations grow around the entire Earth.

All this is coming forth into our awareness, because it’s all going to be needed.  But, don’t mistake this for living alone and relying only on one’s self.  This is not what is needed.  As human beings, we need one another.  We need to rely on each other, as well.  God created us to need one another, and efforts to be an island unto one’s self don’t succeed.   Neighborhoods and communities which foster cooperation and helping one another have been successful for millennium after millennium.

The road ahead I see is this:

Food prices are set to rise significantly in the next three years specifically (2014-2016) at a greater rate of increase than average.  Starting in 2016, poor government actions and judgement directly impacting several contributing factors will set the foundation for 6 years of reduction of support to the majority of people, with support instead going to corporations and bigger business.

This will push for even greater reliance on corporations and bigger businesses to supply the needs of most Americans.  In general, I see most people who run corporations seeking to maximize profits (which corporations are always designed to fulfill.)   However, in the U.S. with corporate level efforts to control more and more of consumer markets,  many of the alternatives to corporate products, which are available today, will no longer be allowed to be available.

Those that are seeking to be DIYers and move towards more independence will be in  better positions to ride through the years ahead, because, after the 6 years, which end in 2022, there will be no turning back the tide of what is coming.

The population is rising around the planet leading up to 8 billion people.  This will lead, going into the 2030’s and 2040’s to experience much of what was experienced in the 1930’s.  A trend in the 2020’s will lead into the decade of the 2030’s where there will be a tighter supply of food.  It will be harder to afford what is affordable in today’s world.  The hardships will fall on the vast masses of people.   The government will be unable to do anything to help, because this will have been set in motion many decades even before the results manifest.

We see today the results of decisions made decades ago.  In the same way, today’s decisions, whether left or right, good or bad, will manifest decades from now.

What Can We Do

What can we do as people today?  Educate ourselves, believe in ourselves.  Rely on that which comes from within.  Let go of thinking that someone other than our self will make our lives better.  Let go of thinking that an elected official controls the quality of our own life.

Allow yourself to entertain the real idea that there may be more to life than just a physical existence.  Ask the spiritual world to come forth for the purpose of helping.  Entertain the idea of Christ as “a better friend” to us than we’ve imagined, and we’ve been to Him, and Him willing to give His very best to help His friends who welcome Him in.  Remember, Spiritual help that goes unused or untried, accomplishes nothing.  Spiritual help only becomes practical – only works in helping us with our lives on the Earth – if it is practiced and put to practical and pragmatic use in our lives – by applying our Spiritual principles to the different parts of our everyday lives for the goodwill and benefit of ourselves and others together.

The Regeneration of Mankind

The Regeneration of Mankind has begun.  It extends to all mankind.  Several principles are active during this regeneration:

Those who create the problems are given the task of fixing the problems.  Everyone has done this in present and past lives.  The problems we find ourselves in the middle of – those are the problems we are to face and do our best to help.  Many times problems are the result of many, many people and can only be resolved and helped by many, many people.  We are here to do that part that we, ourselves, can help with.

Forgiveness is an act of regeneration.  The deeper in our consciousness the forgiveness happens, the deeper the regeneration. The more comprehensive the forgiveness, the more comprehensive the regeneration.  There are many more factors within forgiveness that are still to be learned.

Regeneration is for all life.

Regeneration comes through Christ (the Christ, The Christ Spirit, The Christ Consciousness)

Criticism, judgment, condemnation blocks regeneration and motivates destructive actions against others.

Regeneration is a “generation after generation” process, meaning it will happen through generational progressions.  This also means that many will struggle against it as part of the process.  But, because it will extend through many, many generations, all will be given all methods available to them for when they choose for themselves.

No one person will understand all of regeneration or what it entails.

Each person’s path of Regeneration will be unique to themselves.

Humans, Chakras, and more

Here’s an interesting little thing to think about.  The beings that came into this world before and at the beginning of Atlantis didn’t manifest in the 1st and 2nd chakras.  They only presented in the 3rd-7th chakras – hence not in physical form.  Many of the life forms on the earth for millions of years, though – spirits that have been trapped in physical forms, manifested greatly the  1st and 2nd chakras and hardly anything much at all above that for a long time.

That is why there has been a need for the descending into flesh by Amelius (Adam/Jesus) and His followers, all the way into the 1st and 2nd chakras, to begin at the bottom with the subsequent journeying on the path back up to full awareness and balancing of all 7 human chakras.

For the 3rd wave of souls to help spirits get out of the entrapment of the physical plane – the belief in consciousness that the physical manifestation is reality – souls must enter into the lowest vibration levels (i.e. chakras) that these beings are active at in order to walk the path back up to the higher vibration levels learning to balance all chakras as they go.

Mammals today are for the most part in the process of balancing or are balanced in the 1st through 4th chakras – with many having gone through their own evolution to this point.  While all life have 12 chakras, albeit unmanifested yet, the manifestation of each of these chakras is based on the evolution of the particular consciousness – or rather the development of the expression of each chakra to its greatest balancing with the other chakras.

Having a chakra that is out of balance means there’s still work to be done in the consciousness of the being.  And as we all know, imbalances come from the expression of “Me, first” rather than “One for All”.

As our own spiritual/social/human/soul evolution continues, the manifestation of the eighth chakra will begin.  FYI, the manifestation of the 9th on up, for the most part do not require being in physical form and so most will evolve this aspect in other realms, with a few continuing to connect with the Earth level in order to fulfill the completion of the evolutionary process which is going on here for life forms.

And why not with all this?  All life forms are worth the effort.  All life forms are worthy of being helped.  All life forms will be given all opportunities given to all others.  Remember, the key word is “All”.  Why?  Because All is One – in the greatest sense of the words.

Put another way – God, who is infinite Consciousness, who is infinite Love has willed that no being or soul that He Loves will be left behind or abandoned or left to perish.

Would you let those you love perish?

The World Will Not End Dec. 21, 2012

Personally, I know of no one who believes the world will end at the end of the Mayan Calender date of December 21, 2012.   What I psychically see of significance is multi-layered and the first thing being it is an end of a calender.

However, …

The End of What We Know

you could argue that Sept. 11, 2001 was the end of the world as we know it.   And this would be correct from a certain point of view.  The world changed significantly and the world we knew before 9-11 no longer exists.  You can also say this with each major destructive event, like natural disasters – the Tsunami of 2004, Hurricane Katrina, the Japanese Tsunami and nuclear disaster,  the Joplin, MO tornado destruction, Chernobyl – the world as known to the people connected to these events changes overnight and their previous world is gone.  In other words, the “world” that we perceived, changed and no longer exists.

However, …

A Galactic Event

it is true that we are also going through a galactic event, and it doesn’t matter what people believe with regards to science, spiritual beliefs, astrology or superstition.  It doesn’t matter, because changes are happening regardless of beliefs.  It doesn’t  matter what many people believe or don’t believe about global warming.   Weather is erratic and extreme.  It doesn’t matter what people believe and don’t believe about the effects of other planets and stars on the Earth.   Things are happening regardless of beliefs and are going to happen more.

What happens or doesn’t happen, what is true or not true has never been based on whether people believe or don’t believe.  There are still people alive that  choose to believe the sun goes around the Earth.   There are people alive that believe there are no consequences to their actions or behavior.  There are still many alive that believe that the way to create cooperation is by attacking and insulting others.  There are many alive today that believe that we can help people by harming people.

What we don’t believe in – only limits ourselves.  It doesn’t limit others or the truth, and it certainly doesn’t limit God.  (Rainbow Cards)

Do we have to fully understand something to believe it or believe it’s possible?  (Who among us fully understands how every part of a computer work?) (Rainbow Cards)

However,  …

To Believe or Not To Believe

we can believe what we choose to about Dec. 2012.   The world is not coming to a physical end on that day.   And the changes that I psychically see happening and alluded to above, and hope to mention more of in the coming weeks, will be seen by those who look with an open mind.    The results of an open mind are that those who have their minds open, and their eyes – will be in position to be aware of the changes that are happening now and happening then.  Those who have their minds open will have an opportunity even to understand the hows and whys of events and occurrences.
