May all I say and all I think
be in harmony with Thee,
God within me, God beyond me,
Maker of the Trees.

Goodnight Blogland , peace :zz; zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Suzanne called this morning to see how I was. I could hear in her voice that she was not O.K. I felt angry for a few second. Yhinks: " I don't need this shakiness at the moment . I've been in that pathetic place and I don't like it ,I refuse to be a victim. It serves noone.Stop it .. please stop it .. say what you really want to say , woman "

Susanne is someone I've only met once and hear about through a friend and client. Susanne's partner and soul mate of 27 years died a few weeks ago. S, is in a pitiful state, grieving, small , victim, vulnerable, tearful, overwhlemed with the daunting task of carrying on , sorting out her affairs and emptying and vacating her mother's flat who has been moved to a nursing home.

Practical things. Poor sod . I would not like to be in her shoes. Fortunately I'm not and it was possible for me to " coach " her. Coaching someone else is easier than doing it yourself , after all. Imake a note to myself to take my own advice.

" Baby steps " I tell her
" Cleaning and sorting is overwhelming on your own .. can you get someone to help ?"
" Go to the AF , do your boring errands and when you come home reward yourself "

" One task at a time "

" This practical stuff will take your mind off the wallowing and self pity .. have you thought that it could be a blessing ?"

" What do you like doing ? " I ask
" Nothing" She replies .. I don't like doing anything .
" Do you like talking to me ?"
" Yes " she says and laughs
" Do you like talking to Lena ?"
" YES " more laughter
" your sons ?"
" Yes ...... giggles " Now we are getting somewhere. We chat a little longer. I'm feeling empowered and strong. Susanne seems happier and motivated. This little chat has taken my mind off my own problems. I am reminded of the pathetic victim in me and reminded not to go there again. Baby steps . One step at a time. Easy does it.

I am happy that I was able to help and grateful to Susanne for this experience.Bless us both. It is a start.

Artemis, the daughter of Leto and Zeus, and the twin of Apollo. Artemis is the goddess of the wilderness, the hunt and wild animals, and fertility (she became a goddess of fertility and childbirth mainly in cities). She was often depicted with the crescent of the moon above her forehead and was sometimes identified with Selene (goddess of the moon). Artemis was one of the Olympians and a virgin goddess. Her main vocation was to roam mountain forests and uncultivated land with her nymphs in attendance hunting for lions, panthers, hinds and stags. Contradictory to the later, she helped in protecting and seeing to their well-being, also their safety and reproduction. She was armed with a bow and arrows which were made by Hephaestus and the Cyclopes.

Thinking of you Mrs F in warmer climes and Old Nick in colder climes ..Lady J and Mermaid .... we are gazing at the same moon , blessed be.
I spotted her

The Age-Old Questions of Life

“What is the meaning of life?” According to basic spiritual principles, we are individual expressions of Infinite Being and we are here to experience life. Each person is unique, and our purpose on Earth is to experience life from our own unique perspective. We are the eyes and ears, so to speak, of Infinite Being.

You are here to experience your uniqueness, and to experience it as fully as possible. That way, you learn as much as possible from the experience of being who you are in this particular incarnation.
The Paradoxes

It is a paradox that everyone is here for the same reason and yet everyone has an individual purpose. Everyone is here to experience life as deeply as possible, and yet your individual purpose is to explore your unique character. Everyone, therefore, has an unique function within the infinite variety of Creation.

Another paradox is the question of destiny versus freewill. People seem to have freewill, and yet, if destiny exists, wouldn’t pre-destiny cancel freewill? Not exactly. Here’s how it works.

You planned your overall path through life before you were born. That life plan is your overall destiny, but the details of life leave plenty of room for freewill. You could even use your freewill to change your whole life plan, but then, why would you want to change your own life plan? The fact that your physical brain doesn’t remember your own pre-made plan doesn’t hinder the fact that it continues to unfold as time goes by. Your inner self, your soul, remembers your plan perfectly. One of the functions of your inner self is to give you hunches that you can follow. These hunches, when acted upon, assist you to explore your life’s potential to the fullest effect.

Meditators Have More Fun

Regular meditation keeps you in tune with your inner self and helps to guarantee that you get the most out of life by being in the right places at the right times. Then synchronicity can unfold in the form of meetings and events which support your life’s purpose.

At a soul level, you are a member of an extended family of many hundreds of people. All of these people know and love you, so there are always ample opportunities available for incarnation through parents that you already know at a soul level. People usually choose lives where they can surround themselves with members of their extended soul family. People in the same soul family share common themes. They are in tune with your consciousness and therefore interested in the same issues and experiences in life.

Before the Veil of Birth

When it was time for you to incarnate into this life, you viewed several alternatives, including several possible sets of parents. Your final choice offered you the best opportunity to explore the activities and issues that you have been experiencing.

How much detail goes into planning an entire lifetime? Destiny exists for the main events in your life – the major choices, events and connections in your life. Important relationships are carefully planned so that they have the best chance of happening. Your parents and your environment are chosen for how they will mold your life in the direction that you wish to explore.

In the pre-life planning stage, you actually get to see how everything will turn out as you explore different alternatives and scenarios. Then you make your big choice. You say, “I’ll take Fred and Freda Smith as parents. I’ll be their baby boy, starting in 9 months when I get born. Until then I’ll hang around them in spirit, at least on and off, until it’s time to emerge and become a baby person.

Then I’ll grow up in their family, attending that local elementary school. When they move to Phoenix as planned, I’ll go to high school there and meet my old buddy, who’ll be called Freddie, and he’ll be the same age as me. Sylvia’s family will move into town when I’m sixteen, and being her boyfriend will start to shape the direction of the rest of my life. We’ll go to the same college together and explore the idea that she will need me to support her while she goes on to medical school to become a doctor.” And so on, and so on, as the plan unfolds. Each plan eventually includes a series of agreements orchestrated to interact with the plans of other souls.

Themes, Issues, Adventures

Personal themes are planned for exploration in life, as well as soul family themes. Also, there are cultural themes and global issues, especially in today’s growing global awareness. One theme that society has been developing over the last few decades is the issue of liberation from the imbalance of a patriarchal society.

At the same time, an even larger shift has been taking place – the shift from a consciousness of separation to one of integration. Separation consciousness has been the theme for thousands of years. We have separated into tribes, then countries and empires. We have separated ourselves by race, sex and religion. We have even separated our own consciousness, focusing it further into the external world and away from the inner light which is the very source of our consciousness.

One of the first differences that will be noticed as the world evolves towards integrated consciousness is that people will care more about their work. Most people today see their work as a means to an end, as a way to pay the bills and maybe get ahead a little.

Tomorrow, people will work at what they love and they will care deeply about the quality of service that they provide, because they will care for their customers. Of course, there are people who work just like that today, but they are in the minority. Tomorrow, it will become the new standard, the new work ethic. Loving what you do and doing what you love.

The purpose of being human in today’s Shift to the New Reality is to learn how to translate universal love into human form. Universal love is the aspect of original consciousness which holds Creation together. The universe is, by its very design, filled with the love of the Original Creator.

Once universal love has been transformed through the heart-consciousness of a human being, it enters the global mind atmosphere of Earth which we all share. This upgrades the entire human experience, taking us one more step into the unfolding New Reality.
