Faith in the Future – Optimism in Politics

politics, optimism, faith, law of attractionWhat a gift the future is! Indeed, it’s the present wrapped in tantalizing papers and bows awaiting the perfect moment of ‘presentation’.

The future beckons. We are like the flowers unfurling in the NOW of this moment while we ever turn towards the sun. The future is like the sun, attracting us towards it with the promise of nourishing light.

And, still, there is the paradox. There is always some amount of faith required to enjoy the promises of the future. The flower must continue to evolve through the night, trusting the warmth of the sun to reappear.

Tis the Season

A time when almost every culture on Earth celebrates a story of miracles.  A time when joyful amazement sets the tone for celebration and rejoicing.

Law of attraction, Winter Solstice, holidaysFor me, the miracle story closest to my heart wraps around the turning seasons.  Tis the Season of Solstice when the darkest night reflects the faith of a people dependent upon the warmth of the sun for sustenance and survival.  It is a time to come together and celebrate faith – faith in the turning cycles that will bring warmth and sunlight again – before there is any evidence of Light’s return.  In the darkness, people gather to share what is left of the last harvest’s bounty in belief of the bounty to come; to rejoice in the appreciation of faith.

The Solstice is a celebration of hope.  I love celebrating hope and faith. Continue reading “Tis the Season”

Strongest of the Strong – Awakening

There is a shift in the air.  Can you feel it?  I do. 

Many religions and cultures have a story about this time and the changes that are imminent.  I don’t know which ones are true.  I only know what I feel – with my senses and my Soul.  I see it like law of attraction, ho'oponopono, vortex of attractiona shimmer in the air around me; the trees vibrate with aliveness.  I hear the Voice within with more clarity and depth.  I touch from a distance now…  before my skin makes contact, I am “in” contact.  My Soul rejoices, calling me in jubilant tones to continue..  continue.

The stories I hear tell me of Earth changes and hard times and many deaths for ‘unbelievers’.  The stories attempt to describe the undescribe-able:  a world changed beyond what has ever been before.  The stories say to prepare; to gather resources and be ready to live without modern convenience.

The stories evoke fear.

But all that I experience evokes vitality and awakening. Continue reading “Strongest of the Strong – Awakening”

Power Rhymes with Flower – Law of Attraction in Action

Power, law of attraction, vortex of attraction, freedomI will do just about anything to feel powerful.  I don’t know if I was born that way or raised in a culture that shaped me so.  But I will do just about anything to feel powerful because – more than anything – I want to feel free.

In the beginning, power came with approval.  If I could determine who had the power (mother, teacher, popular girls, bosses) and gain their approval, I wielded power by association.  In the beginning, I didn’t think I had any power at all; I had to beg, borrow, and manipulate to obtain any sense of freedom.

I watched the world around me, and I learned attitude made a difference. Continue reading “Power Rhymes with Flower – Law of Attraction in Action”

Abiding in Grace – Life in the Vortex

vortex of attraction, law of attraction, meditation, vibrational alignmentSome days I don’t have much to say. Some days, I just bebop through without deep insight or wisdom on which to hang my sense of self. Some days, I strive to understand and explore meaning.  I used to think I had to be witty and wise to count for something. I used to believe that; some days I still do.

Today, though, I have a new idea. It’s ok to be diffuse. Indeed, today I believe I hear deeper and absorb more of the silent whispers that Guidance murmurs in the soft fuzziness. Continue reading “Abiding in Grace – Life in the Vortex”

When I Died – A Story of Awakening

Have you heard the saying, “Nobody gets out of here alive.”?  As far as I can tell, that’s the truth.  It’s the door at the end of every hallway, the final step of the dance; Death takes a bow right before every curtain comes down.

I “died” once.  I recall watching in slow motion as my car sped towards the freeway wall and then….  I floated, like a feather in the breeze.  I felt relief, like I’d just removed a shoe that was too tight, and I drifted, as though a gentle current held me lightly in its buoyant caress.  I saw millions of lights, like fireflies, dancing on what seemed like a night sky.  The voices sang a harmony that made one Voice, and the Voice soothed and comforted and reassured.  I abided in peace and bliss for a timeless moment (or just under one minute if you count the seconds when the medics couldn’t find any vital signs).

A Satisfied Mind – In the Flow of Law of Attraction

It’s all happening at the zoo. That’s what Simon and Garfunkel sang. Those were the words anyway. It seems to me, though, that where it’s all happening is in the mind.

Lately, I’ve pondered the qualities of a Satisfied Mind – how does it think differently than a mind that is dissatisfied? I came to this conclusion: A dissatisfied mind struggles. A satsified mind flows.

A Satisfied Mind sharing the same experience with a dissatisfied mind will find more humor and reason to enjoy whatever the circumstance is. A dissatisfied mind will find reasons to want the experience to be different.

At first glance, it may seem that a Satisfied Mind is always preferable to a dissatisfied mind.. that it is always better to relax and let whatever is happening be as much fun as possible. I always thought so..

Defining Wealth – Law of Attraction in Action

Full Moon Solstice, awakening, law of attraction, vortex of attraction, money, wealthBack in the days of my Life as a Streetkid, when I had no money and no place to stay, I hitch-hiked. Someone always fed me. Someone always provided shelter. There was no money in my pocket; still I was my own person making my own decisions, and I felt free. Freedom is a type of wealth.

In the more recent past, I’ve been blessed with ample resources to travel and live with horses and enjoy a very comfortable home and relax into a long-standing, stable relationship. All of my childhood wishes come true. Living my happily ever after. Having lots of dreams is a type of wealth.

A while back, we sat at the Grand Canyon and, as I absorbed the immensity of it, I said, “This is big enough to hold my feelings.” It’s true. I’ve always been a person of many feelings, felt deeply. I swim the deeper currents of emotion, and that is a type of wealth, too.

There are different points in my Life where one or the other of these types of resource is more or less important to me. Continue reading “Defining Wealth – Law of Attraction in Action”

Love – It’s All Law of Attraction

When I was a kid, I couldn’t understand the meaning of relativity no matter how it was explained. Relatives were people associated by birth. That’s what I understood. And when someone would clarify for me that relativity was all ‘relational’, I’d say, “Right. Relatives are relationship.” My mind couldn’t make its way out of the literal to grasp an abstract that used the same syllables.

Similarly, I get lost in the definition of love. It’s a word with alot of street cred. Many of us will do ALOT for love, but what does that mean? When my parents said they loved me, they meant relationship, love, law of attractionthey cared and it mattered to them what choices I made. As long as I made the right choices, I got their approval. With my parents love and approval went together. Continue reading “Love – It’s All Law of Attraction”

Sanctuary for the Divine – Physical Well-being Re-defiined

self esteem, physical well being, law of attraction, ho'oponoponoOur bodies are sanctuaries for the Divine. I read that yesterday, and it stopped my mind in its tracks.
 That’s a good thing.

I’ve tended to think of my body and other peoples’ bodies, as I believe most of us do, in terms of function and size and shape; measuring always how it could do better, look better, feel better. For most of my Life experience, how I measured myself to this criteria determined my sense of esteem and confidence on this playground called Earth.

My body is a sanctuary for the Divine. Continue reading “Sanctuary for the Divine – Physical Well-being Re-defiined”
