They are your beliefs.

Our lives are created by our beliefs. What we believe becomes our reality. In our lives we choose what we believe and yet many of those beliefs come from people with whom we place power. Doctors find cancer, They tell the patient they have cancer and how they are going to fight the cancer. They give odds and sometimes even predictions of a death date. As they are more learned than we, we tend to believe there predictions. Death comes.

I am reminded of a magnificent person named Maria. She came to me with a death prediction of six weeks. Together we shifted her beliefs and today almost a decade later she is still with us, cancer free, and happy. We are the master of our experience. Our fears create dis-ease. Our beliefs in the disease empower the disease. No matter who says what you are still the one who chooses to believe. They will tell you many things. The things they will tell you are all based on your past thoughts and actions, on your beliefs. The conscious shifting of your beliefs will shift your experience. Health and well being can be yours if you so choose.

A dear friend and extended family member today received news of lung cancer. The doctors removed a third of one of his lung today. Tomorrow we begin the shifting. I spoke to him before the biopsy and we began the shift of belief. Now the real work begins, the shifting of belief after a doctor's prognosis. If he chooses so he will be healthy and vibrant again.

Remember they are YOUR beliefs. You do not have to accept anyone else's. Believe in a joyous life of health and prosperity and SO BE IT. Blessings to you all for the choices you make. Choose Love for your self, others, and the world.

What can you do for the love in YOUR life?

I have recently worked with several couples who have fallen into a fear-based complacency in their spousal relationships. When we find ourselves disatisfied in our relationships, each of us tend to act disatisfied with our partner. They in turn mirror disatisfaction to us. It becomes a downward spiral of negativity. When someone focuses on the negative, God/Universe will give them more negativity because that is the focus. In Star Wars Episode One Lliam Neeson say a very profound line, "Your focus determines your reality."

Everyone wants Love in there life. Love, a positive place that is relaxed and easy, needs to be the focus of our reality. If you are in a relationship that is stagnant, then realize that you are creating stagnation. It doesn't matter who started the stagnation. It only matters that you end it. How does one end a cycle of stagnation? Love Them First. The reality is that in some form the complacent stagnation is just each person wanting love. Each has been shut down and afraid of doing something that will have them loose the Love in their life.

What can you do for the love in YOUR life? Be the Love you want. Let your partner experience what it is you seek.That way they can be the mirror of the universe that mirrors that love back to you. Go to them and let them know that you will love them no matter what, that your love is unconditional. There is no condition in which you will not love them. Since they are in the place of fear of not having love you are defeating the fear by giving exactly what they were afraid of not having.

This is not to say that you shouldn't go your seperate ways. This is to say that anything can be changed. The most fearful people in the world are controlling, Verbally and physically abusive, and egotistical. They can fall into the trap of addiction or suicidal tendencies. Sometimes it is better for all involved to go seperate ways. But complacency is not these extreme conditions and even these can be altered.

To break the chain of complacency is to step out of your comfort zone. One of my dear friends and an incredible motivational speaker, Dan Thurmon, (www.danthurmon.com) says that to remain in motion you must be," Off Balance on Purpose." Falling out of balance creates forward motion. Do you want to stay where you are or do you want to step into motion towards the joyful, fullfilling relationship you want and deserve?

What is the BEST thing you can do for the LOVE in YOUR life?........ Be Love.

Remember you are the creator of your experience.

After Meditation debriefing

I would like to thank all who participated in the meditation. At nine o'clock I was already in for a few minutes and when I felt the pulse of the meditation beginning. I know we had people In California, Oregon, Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio and elsewhere involved. Holly has been so good as to set up a response blog: http://johnofnew.squarespace.com/news/2009/5/28/may-27-meditation-the-debriefing.html We would love for anyone who meditated to share their experience and location. I would like to start doing these on a fairly regular basis and your feedback would help greatly. I am still a little shifted as I write this. For me it wa svery powerful to feel the connection. It reaffirmed to me that we truly can effect the world.



Thank you

Memorial Day

On this long weekend of barbeques and pool parties, let us take a moment to remember those who have passed. Family, Friends, and even strangers who didn't know you personally have given their lives in an attempt to make it possible to live a free and relaxed life. I am not just speaking of soldiers. Throughout history we have had heroes. Many were unassuming men or women. Maybe they dedicated their lives to feeding the poor. Maybe they through non-violence defeated an oppressive regime, or maybe they worked two jobs to keep a roof over your head.

Each of these heroes saw people in need and gave of themselves for each one of us. Many have passed in the task. Let us remember that though they fought for us it is up to us to create a world in which such sacrifice is unnecessary. Every time someone has given there lives, dedicated their person to service, they werer dedicating themselves to love. Each time they became defined as heroes and saints was because of their dedication to doing the right, caring, and loving thing. They became our heroes because they were courgeous enough to do what was right despite their personal fears.

Let us not only remember fallen soldiers this day but all heroes. Let us honor them by living loving lives and make the world a place where everyone is a hero. I will remember you.

Don't be so serious

Having spoken all over the country and experienced different types of religious thought, I have an interesting perspective on Spirituality. In truly believing that God is Love, I believe that God is Joyful. I find that most people who think of themselves as deeply religious are anything but joyful. They judge quickly and harshly out of fear. They get offended quickly they are uptight and completely unhappy. I tend to look at the world through comedy goggles. I find things funny. I like to break the tension and make people laugh.

If God truly is love, would He/She want us to be judgemental, offended, or unhappy. As a loving deity would God not want us to be joyful always? The interesting thing is My approach to spirituality does tend to bring out the negative of these types of people. God is Love. God is Joy. God is Happiness. Judgements, being offended, or unhappiness is a quest for being right. If your are right, you are respected, if you are respected your are loved and so, being in the negative state is the fear of not having Love. God is Love.

It is written," Judge not lest ye shall be judged." If you look at that statement from a different perspective, negative attracts negative. If you judge, the mirror of the universe will mirror judgement upon you. By Judging you are already judging yourself as judgmental. the place of judgement is raising yourself in status over someone else. It is the Ego straining to get respect. respect is Love. It is the fear of not being one with God.

The Message is Simple: be Love. Love is joyful and fun. Love never judges or is offended. Love is always happy. When you fell any other way you have fallen into the ego trap of fear. Recognize it as fear let it go and return to love. You are not sperate from God. You don't need specific rituals or foods to know God. You just need to Love. As Jeshua said,"Love one Another."
When you are personally judged, you have a choice. you can be offended, unhappy and judge them in return perpetuating the fear or you can respond lovingly and allow them to experience God. Most of what is said in judgement is based on religious belief. Remember that religion is the past and spirituality is the present.

I love you all.

Bobby McFerrin - Don't Worry, Be Happy

Simplicity of Creation

I recently received a message from an old friend. As I read her message I realized that probably ninety percent (maybe more) of the world doesn't understand that they are creating with God already. They don't tend to realize that when it was said ,"Ask and you shall receive" that you were already doing it. The difference that avatars like Jesus, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed and the like knew was they could consciously create.

Unconscious creation is where the majority ofof the world is living their experience. I have said in earlier blogs that God's name is "I Am" according to Moses. that being said again your words are your tools of conscious creation. My friend's message said," I try and read it (my Blog-John) everyday. I am desperately trying to renew my faith I am having a hard time with it." From her statements I see that she doesn't read it everyday. that renewal of faith is not happening and it is frustrating and that the attempt is very difficult.

When you declare ,"I am desperately trying" Gods will give you,"Desperately trying" Because that is what was asked for in God's own name, I AM. Ask and YOU SHALL receive was what was promised. and so My dear friend is experiencing exactly what she asked for.

Conscious creation begins with listening. Listen to the words your use. an declarative statement is a creation that is on it's way. If in the next moment you declare somethin contrary to your first declaration the other is negated. But never fear, your the one in charge of your thoughts after a time of consciously shifting your words. your belief (faith) will follow. as results begin to be obvious so to will be your faith.

When the deciples ask Jeshua what diet they should follow, his response was," I would worry more about what comes out of your mouth rather than what goes in." Spirituality is in the present moment. Religion is in the past. Stay in the present moment, realize that your words are creating with God right now. Change your words. Become conscious about what you are creating and realize that ,"How?" is not a question you have to ask. Because God said ,"Ask and you shall receive" He/She did not say," Ask and if you can figeure out how I'll give it to you" To ask is your job. God/Universe/ Source/ Goddess, whatever you call it's job is bringing it to your experience. If you need to know how wait until it is in your experience then look back and marvel at the divine path to your experience.

If my friend declared, "I AM reading it everyday. I am renewing my faith I am having a fun time with it." What would she experience? What is she consciously creating witht he above statements. The interesting thing is she was already directly creating with source. The realization that all she has to do is shift to a optimistic creation and she would have the exp;erience she desires.

Each of us is on the cutting edge of creation. We have the power to have any experience we desire. That was the promise. All we have to do is believe it and even that is our choice. I thank her for sending me the message, it gave me the opportunity to clarify.

God doesn't want followers. God wants creators.

Go create joyfully and know we are changing the world for the better.

Thank You

Gratitude

When I look back upon my life, there are things that were painful, things that were joyful, and things that just were. Each of these moments make up the life I am living now. Each was a product of my creation with God. I can look back and focus on the painful events and look for the the positive result in them. Sometimes we ask for something and the only way we can get it is by having a negative experience so that we may arrive at the moment of our creating. We can look back and focus on the joyful moments and be greatful for the experiences. I look back at look at the results.

I have seen many amazing things in my life. I followed my heart from the beginning. When my family thought I should be starting a 9-5 career, I went on the road as a renaissance festival performer. I traveled all over the United States and eventually twenty seven countries. I have seen apparitions and miracles performed. I have seen and experienced pure love emotionally and physically. I have looked into my child's eyes and seen everything.I am grateful for many many things. Most of all I am grateful for the experiences, Good and Bad, as I am the one who created each and each has brought me to a new understanding of myself. Each has been a blessing in the end.

Look back upon your life remember where you were focused at the time and see the pattern in the creations of your life. Be grateful for each and every event. Be also grateful for the awareness that, YOU, are creating, and focus on bringing the positive to your life.

You are the Avatar

"Greater works than I have done you will do," "It is your faith that heals you," " You are the children of God" Each of these statements from an avatar of the past tell us that we are as he was and is. We each set the limits of our potential and since we set the limits then we are truly limitless. The source of all that is, God, Universal consciousness, mother earth, whatever you call it creates whatever we ask of it. Our unconscious creations have brought us to where we are at this moment in time.

The Avatar takes the role by stepping into conscious creation with the source. The,"Greater works" are your conscious creations that will indeed alter humanity. I use the term "humanity" as a reference to the experience we are living. There is an expression that is used frequently in metaphysical circles, "We are spiritual beings having a human experience." The experience of humanity is an illusion created to experience the seperation from the source. It is the realization of this fact that each Avatar of the past reached to step into the role of Avatar.

The illusion is created in thought, word and deed. It is the rending of seperation that allows us to become the christ, the buddha, the Krishna, The Mohammed. Each of these enlightened Avatars laid down the illusion that is created through fear as an example for us to follow. In truth you must be "born again." Children are fearless and love unconditionally. In coming to the state of love that we were as children we are in fact seeing beyond the illusion. Watch an infants eyes as they gaze around the room and notice when they notice things. Many times in your illusion nothing is there. The child sees far more than any of us.

"What you think, you become," when Buddha spoke those words he followed them with,"You create your world." The mere focus begins a creation the conscious declaration of achieving your desire is asking of source. and it is written "Ask and you shall receive." Krishna in the Bhagavad Gita says," When a person is devoted to something with complete faith, I unify his faith in that. Then, when his faith his completely unified, he gains the object of his devotion.” Realize that you are creating in this moment. You are on the cutting edge of creation, on the bow of your ship, wheel in hand, on the sea of possibility.

Love is NEVER wrong

As I have said on numerous occasions I believe fully that God is Love. It is written in the Book of John. That being said I also believe that Love is never wrong. I recently was speaking with a minister at a holistic center where I was speaking. He was quite offended that the center had ,"Homosexual paraphernalia" I asked him what the problem was and he responded that it was a sin. I asked him where he got that information. "Sodom and Gemorrah," was his answer. I asked him to elaborate he couldn't give me a straight answer especially when i expressed that the translation he was using was from the middle ages over a thousand years after the bible was written.

The earliest translation of the Old testament is known as the Septuagint when translated today the line that eventually is translated into "bring them out that we may have sex with them" is translated as, "bring them out to us that we may be with them." The minister had no argument that the book had been translated numerous times. Translations upon translations upon translations many times from the new translators perspective. Have you ever played the telephone game?

In my life I have known many homosexual men and woman. I have known some really wonderful homosexuals and some really troubled ones as well. I have also known some really wonderful straight people and some really troubled ones as well. We are all the same. We all want the same things. We all want Love. The Minister wanted to be right. He wanted to judge. That is where the minister gets his respect. Respect is how he receives love. He also wants love.

Is Homosexuality natural or an anomaly? In all honesty I don't care. As long as the people involved are loving, not doing hurtful or fearful acts upon another. Love is never wrong. As far as it being a "sin," as I have said before the word,"sin," was translated from three different languages In ancient Hebrew it translates as ,"Guilt." In ancient Aramaic it translates as," failure" and in ancient Greek,"To miss the Mark." Each or these translations is a perception of fear. Each is based upon the condition that our self worth is in question. Each is the fear of not being loved.

I wonder if that minister read in the bible," Love One another" it can't be translated any other way. I love ALL of you.

Your direct connection to Source

I am a firm believer that God/ Universe is Love. Love is the positive state. I also believe that we were given fear as a tool to experience Love fully. That all being said, I one time while watching a fireworks display, saw the world go into slow motion. This phenominon is not uncommon. Many people speak of moments during car accidents when thy can see the world go into slow motion. I watched as the fireworks drifted apart from it's center explosion and I heard a voice. The Voice said, "I come within a smile." I realized that when we are truly happy, joyful we smile and behind that smile is a feeling and that felling has no pain, no fear, no stress. It is completely open and relaxed. It is the source within us when it is not effected by our personal fears. It is our true and highest self.

There is a moment in meditation when you can literally watch your body breath itself. It that moment there is a realization. We don't breath our bodies. If we did we woud be focused twenty four hours a day, seven days a week month after month and year after year. When we breath deep and relax our muscles in the exhale we reach the same state as in a smile. Consciously breath that good feeling up to your head on your next inhale and feel the same feeling as a smile right there in your deep breath. Most religions mention the breath as divine. In Christianity, after the resurrection Jesus, in the upper chamber, breathed upon his deciples. The Source/God/ Universe is within you, now, in this moment. You are one with it. and all you have to do is breath or smile to feel your connection to the divine. If you feel negative (Sad, mad, etc.)that is your fear. Recognize it as fear and release it. Surround your self with the positive state and you will be surrounded with more of the same.

Someone in Need

I just returned from an incredible weekend in Ontario. Holly (my assistant) and I met some wonderful and loving people and spent some time offering healings. I have amazing stories in the room. But sometimes Holly is the luckier to witness the whole story. Here is one such storyin Holly's words that shows how divine things can truly be:

Holly:
We were nearing the end of a wonderful weekend of speaking and healing at Unity Church in Windsor, Ontario. This wonderful group meets in what, until the 1980s, was a convent. Sue, our church hostess, was coming to lock the building and say goodbye to us as we were leaving in an hour or so. When the doorbell rang, I ran to let her in, and she walked in with another woman in tow, rather unusual looking. “Hi Holly. We have a conundrum and we need to see what we can do about it.” Okay, I thought perhaps the woman was homeless or something. We walked up to the meeting room and Sue told me that this woman Diane had just recently returned to Windsor, and had come to the nuns for help not knowing that the convent had been moved. We all sat to hear her story.

Diane had been suffering with a severe infection of the bone around her jaw and cheek which had necessitated removal of some teeth and some dental appliances. The front section of the teeth had been so deformed by infection they jutted out and interfered with her eating. We noticed that her left cheek was swollen and pink. She’d been through many medications that did not work, and her doctor believed she’d found something that might. Being a caregiver Diane had little money to spare on expensive medication. She decided to reach out in trust to neighbors for assistance although being new to the area she didn’t know them. She knocked on a door, showed the man what money she had, explained the situation and asked if he might loan her $20 until the following week. He warmly welcomed her in, told her he understood and could help her. He pulled out a $20, turned to her, reached for his zipper and asked her what she was prepared to do for him. In shock and horror she was able to run out the door without harm, ran home and cried for an hour. She thought to ask the nuns for help and comfort and that’s when she met Sue at the door. Funny thing . . . Sue had taken a wrong turn and had gone the very long route to the church. Had she taken her normal route, she probably would not have pulled up just as Diane got there.

Having heard the story and assured Diane that she was safe with us, Sue and I started to react to the miracle that was taking place. We told Diane that John Davis, a healer, was at the church this weekend, and if she was open to meeting him, she might be helped. At first she said no she didn’t have time as she still had a client to visit, but when I told her it would only be half an hour, she eagerly agreed. It struck all three of us what had happened – Diane had accidentally showed up at the church just when Sue happened to arrive and see her at a no-longer-used entrance, when John just happened to be in town, coincidentally two hours before we were to leave.

John completed his session with a client and opened the door to the prayer room they were in. I hugged Diane and escorted her back to meet John. I told her again that she was completely safe here, and John opened his arms and said “I need to hug you”. I saw her face as she was enfolded in God’s love – OH the relief! In his great sensitivity John also assured her she was safe, and asked if she wanted the door closed or left open.

In about half an hour we heard a great deal of laughter coming from down the hall. The door opened, and out walks a beaming Diane. She’s nearly bouncing in joy, breathlessly saying “I am healed, I can feel it, it’s so warm, Oh my GOD, I’m healed, I just can’t believe it, there’s no pain, it’s not swollen!!!” And indeed, her cheek looked exactly like the other, no longer swollen. “God can do anything! Oh my God, I’m healed! I can’t wait for my doctor to see this!” We talked for a few minutes, all of us emotional and basking in the joy, and after many hugs, Diane bounced down the stairs and left.

If Sue had not asked us to come this weekend. . .
If Sue had not taken a wrong turn. . .
If Diane had come two hours later. . .
If . . .

Thank you God, for allowing me the honor to witness this breathtakingly beautiful gift. I am forever changed. Thank you Diane for being God’s messenger so that others can know what He does for his beloved kids.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Interconnectedness

Everything in the Universe consists of atoms. According to Einstein there is nothing solid within an atom. Atoms are purely an energy"event". That being said think about your breathing for a moment. Now realize that the air is made of atoms as are the lungs with which you breath the air and the room in which you breath the air. Anything you see, hear, smell, or touch is constructed of atoms. Everything is nothing but pure energy.

Where do you begin and end? In reality you are the alpha and the omega. You are your consciousness within the energy of the universe. What is the energy? Consider this for a moment, the energy is God. We are truly created "in God's Image." We are connected directly to the source. We are connected directly with each other, through the energy of Source.

"In the Beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God" Consider this meaning of the first lines of the Book of John: In the beginning of what you create is the words you speak and the words goes to God and God creates your words around you in his image. The word truly is God. When Someone does fearful acts they erupt fear in those around them as to give to that person that for which their words have asked. Synchronistally people who are in like allignment with that creation are right there to comply. Because the fearful act they are erupting to is in allignment with some fearful creation of there own.

We are all connected with each other, as such, we effect the world on the whole. If you could consciuosly create a joyful loving experience instead of a fearful experience created unconsciously, which would you choose? When you catch yourself in a negative frame of mind you are consciously recognizing a fear response and then you can consciously change your state and thus the state of those around you. The more of us who consciously create a loving joyful experience, can in effect change the world.

As a reminder of my last blog: May 27th 2009 at 9 pm I will be meditating on the unconditional love for all. The love I am speaking of does not exclude anyone from Christiansd to muslams to indigenous tribes and atheists, black, white, yellow, polka dotted, everyone is included because there are NO Conditions. I ask that you join me for a thirty minutes meditation if we can get enough us on the same page we will experience our interconnectedness and start changing the world for the better.

Focus May 27th

Mother Theresa said,"I was once asked why I don't participate in anti-war demonstrations. I said that I will never do that, but as soon as you have a pro-peace rally, I'll be there.

"Where is your focus? I watched a youtube video sent around by a friend. It focused on the violent riots around the world. It focused on fear of a "New World Order" It focused on all the negative aspects of fear and it was spread across the internet to spread fear. It will I am sure anger some, but moreso I believe it will dishearten people and make them fearful. It was what was intended when it was made. If we focus on the negative we get more of the same.

How did Ghandi get the English to leave India? Passive nonviolence in the face of extreme opposition. When you confront violence with violence it becomes a ignited flame fed by gasoline. It erupts and helps nothing. Focus is inportant. Bob Proctor says, "I don't care if it's get in or get out, if you are focused on debt it's debt"

Where is your focus? Are you focused on fear and violence? Is your focus optomistic or pessimistic? The ever optomist lives a joyful life. The ever pessimist lives a life in expectation of fearful events and each receives reasons to keep believing as they do. I believe we can choose a new focus and the more of us that choose it can literally change the world.

On May 27th at 9pm eastern time I will be Meditating on Unconditional Love for the world I ask that you join me at that time and start a ripple of loving peace that will surround the world. After which we can share our experiences of being in that space for a half hour. Let's change the world one of us at a time. Please join me.

This Moment

Look around the room your in, right now, go ahead do it. Realize that at this moment you are right where you are. When you look around the room it isn't yesterday nor is it tomorrow. It's not and hour from now nor an hour ago. This moment is the only one you have. The past is done. it is a collection of present moment memories, a track record of actions or inactions. The future is not set. In reality there is no future there is only possibility. The future is a blackboard on which we write goals. Each of those goals will not and can not be achieved unless we take in the present moment. Right now in this present moment, decide what goes in the chalkboard, a new car, a new house, health, wealth, a loving partner. Make the decision and focus on the result of achieving that goal. Actively focus your thoughts on the final outcome of your desires. Realize that focusing on a specific partner entering your life is not productive as the person of choice may be focusing elsewhere. Focus instead on the perfect partner coming into your life and thus that partner will come. But realize that the action in this moment is the next present moment memory that you are creating. and the next will happen and the universe will surround you with like actions that will real-ize your dreams.

Today

Today, today is a day of celebrating a great deed. I am asked constantly whether the thing that is celebrated today actually happened. My first memories of that past life were of my face raising from the sand. My face was in the sand because I had fallen onto my face at the feet of my friend. My friend who wasn't supposed to be there. My friend who I had seen suffer and die.My friend who gave his life to keep his friends and enemies from a war that would reap nothing but fear, death and destruction upon us. A man who at the very very end upon the cross looked down at me in complete love for me and all who stood about. This man now stood before me. I dropped to his feet. If I had believed he was amazing before, now I was convinced that he knew things that I didn't. He had told me many times that everything is Love and that In full faith everything is possible. Now he stood there I fell to my face. When I built the courage I slowly looked up. He smiled at me, laughed, and told me to get up. He told me that this was an example of the possibilties of our lives. He told me that with full belief (faith) we are unlimited. His words didn't change my awe in seeing him again. It was not long before this that my dispair of his death left me clutching the foot of the cross with my hand above me just to touch his foot. Did it happen? Yes. Why it happened was to show us that when following the path of love, nothing is impossible. Today is a day for all of us to remember what he did yes, but more importantly it is a day to live what he was teaching us. Be loving not fearful. Have faith that in love all things are possible. I am grateful for the greatest lesson he ever taught.

Amy's Story

I was recently contacted by Amy with a message that really moved me and I asked if I could share it. I am so grateful to her for allowing me to do so.


John,

You don't know me personally. I am on your MySpace because I'm a fan of the Hack & Slash shows. But, I felt compelled to write to you when I read your new blog.

My Grandfather died suddenly in January, and we were unable to bury his ashes until yesterday. He was incredibly important to me and we were very close. Of course, you know that when you lose someone dear to you, it's very painful for a while... but then your heart begins to heal and you move on, keeping them in your memory. But since my Grandfather's death almost 4 months ago, I wake up every morning and the pain feels fresh again. My sorrow will sneak up on me, and I will sit and sob for hours, totally inconsolable. My poor husband doesn't know what to do for me, and it's beginning to affect our young marriage. But I don't know how to turn it off, how to control it... and I can't find a way to turn it into something positive. I have been struggling with my faith... unsure of a "loving" God who will allow one of His children to experience pain like I have that will not subside, with no relief in sight. I just don't know what to do with all this darkness I have inside me. I was so angry with God for letting this happen. My Pop was relatively healthy, still had his right mind and still lived at home with my Grandmother. I had such high hopes that he would one day be able to see and hold his great-grandchildren, and that they would know the man that shaped who I am in so many ways.


When we got home from Pop's burial yesterday, I happened to read your blog last night (Ask and you shall receive no matter how much it hurts- john) It gave me a new perspective on my pain... and more importantly, some insight into why I felt that all the other everyday things that went wrong were a personal slight against me from God or Karma or whatever was causing these things to happen. I see now, that my negative way of viewing my Grandfather's death, and my inability to find some sort of solace was making everything else only seem worse than it was.


So, as I sat in mass this morning for another death on my husband's side of the family, I prayed for God to help me find peace in my soul, to help me let go of my Grandfather and to see him resting comfortably and happy where there is no more pain. As I prayed, crying what felt like the last tears I would shed for my Pop, God allowed me to see an image of him standing near our family at his grave while the minister prayed for his soul. He was wearing his favorite baby blue blazer, smiling, with one hand in his pocket and the other holding a drink (as he always stood, as we would all remember him). Then I saw him walk past the family, touching each of us on the shoulder or cheek on his way by. He walked down the path through the cemetery, and as he reached the gate, I smiled and looked back at the flowers on his headstone, simply knowing Who was waiting for him just outside the gate. Just then, a sense of relief washed over me... so strong, like nothing I had ever felt before, like a huge weight had been lifted from me and I could breathe again. I left that church feeling at peace for the first time in 4 months.


I don't know if that image was the product of an overactive imagination or not, but I believe it was God helping me find the peace I asked for. I believe that God really does work in mysterious ways, and I believe that in some small way, you were inspired to write those words on April 3rd so you could inspire me. I see now that it wasn't that God didn't want to console me and take away my pain, it was that my doubt was in His way. "Ask and you shall receive no matter how much it hurts"... no words have been more true.


So, thank you, John. Thank you for helping me find God again, and thank you for helping me find the path to heal my heart. I still have a lot of pain to let go of, but I finally feel like I'm heading in the right direction.

Take Care,

Amy

UPDATE:After asking If I could share her story Amy sent me this reply:


Absolutely, I don't mind at all! If I can be of any help, please let me know. I also wanted to give you a little update in case you were wondering. My relationship with my husband is better than ever... these days I wake up rested and smiling... and I deal with everyday problems with an optimistic attitude - a huge change from just one week ago! There is a Sufi saying that my Grandmother found after Pop died and she wanted me to share it with you - "When the heart grieves for what is lost, the soul rejoices for all that is left." I am so thankful for all the blessings in my life.

Where U At?

No matter where you are in life, you arrived there through your past thoughts and actions. Actions are a response to our beliefs. We react accordingly to our beliefs. If we believe our life is lacking, then our actions or inactions create a life of lack. If we believe our life to be fun and adventureous then our actions will create that experience. Your life changes with your very thoughts. Discover fully what your beliefs are. Listen to your words. You can not manifest wealth if you are constantly searching for the way to make money. Believe you are receiving it and when your belief shifts to absolute faith, your actions will be congruent with the reult you are creating. after your belief/faith has a track record it will create it fully. When you focus on "How?' then you are creating lack because your belief is you aren't receiving it because you don't know how. Release," How" and have faith that it is coming. You are unlimited, as is teh Universe. Nothing is too big or too small. In my life I wanted to travel I had complete faith I would. I never asked how. I just had faith I would. I have been to twenty-seven countries. most of which I did not pay for. I have been inside the great Pyramid of Egypt and Climbed Mach Picchu and Mt Sinai. I did not know how I would get there but I went there because my faith was tha I would get there. Start manifesting what you want. Bypass the "How" moment and step into the receiving moment. Just a thought.

Ask and you shall receive no matter how much it hurts

One can never know how the universe will grant your prayer. You ask for things and they are granted, but sometimes painful things are the impetus for change that puts you on the path towards that which you have asked for. An example might be: After years of struggling with my weight I asked God for healthy weight loss and a fit body. I immediately started feeling the symptoms of diabetes. It alarmed me. Being the spiritual person I am and after seeing so many healings I knew that the power to heal was within. I began eating an 80% raw fruit and vegetable diet. Which was somethingI had been planning on anyway for many reasons other than just my health. But change came quickly with the symptoms of illness and the shift was made towards healthy weight loss and a fit body.

I also asked for the opportunity to get my spiritual work out there more, to be more of service. I immediately had a good friend abruptly end our friendship. I didn't want the friendship to end and still offer my hand in friendship to her. As soon as my friend decided to part ways, the universe started bombarding me the right people to get my work out there more. Internet marketing people called me to tell me they were on my team. Readers in California started recommending my services. Speaking gigs sprang up and more and more opportunities started to abound. It was as if I had to go through the painful process to get the result I had asked for.

I worked with a woman from Texas who asked for her child's father to step up and be a good father. Events took place that had her child taken from her so the opportunity would arise for the father to step up. The mother had shifted into a loving healthy life and the family around her erupted in fear, thus taking the child so the father could step up. The more fearful the mother becomes as a result of her lack of faith the more fearful events surround her.

Many people ask, but as soon as a painful event happens, they lose faith in the result. Remember That whatever you ask for you shall receive. So if you ask for something and painful things happen, they are just events that must play out to arrive at the desired destination. Be thankful for the pain, make the shift, and have faith you will arive where you are supposed to be.

Fear is the Devil

As I said earlier in a post, the word "Satanus" which became translated to "Satan" when linguists study it today discover it means "an opposing force". I am a believer that God is Love and Fear is the opposite of love. Fear is the opposing force of Love and Love is God. Fear is the detroyer of lives, friendships, marriages, and relationships in general. Fear is the trespasses of which we ask forgiveness. Fear is the trespasses of which we must forgive. To be in fear is painful. It hurts the heart, the mind, and the body. It damages lives. Pray that you not become tempted by your fear and lead into a dark place. A place from which you may not return. Remember you are in control of your fear. The "Devil" has no power unless the power is given to it.

Friendships

Over time friendships change. They start innocently enough usually based on fun experiences. Over time you open yourself up more an more to your friends. You become relaxed which is wonderful. It is a great experience, as it should be. When either you or your friend slip into fear, you begin to rely more and more on your friends until they become crutches for you. Interestingly enough as they become a crutch for you, you become a crutch for them. enabling fear to live with you.

This life given to fear is a rapid spiral downward unless frequently checked. Each friend relies on the other to validate their worthiness. The need for validation is a product of fear. The spiral slips down further into fear and then when all else fails the fear becomes directed at the friend. Because the fear is now coming from one so close the damage is more. Boundaries are built and friendships alter. Each becomes less open to each other and a rebuilding has to begin. Unless of course the frindships continue down the fear spiral into an ending of the friendship.

Doors do not have to stay closed to these ended friendships. No Bridges have to be burned. Choose love over fear and accept that love is always correct. Take responsibilty for your fearful acts. It is the only thing you can do. If the other decides to end the friendship, that does not mean you have to. Hold them in your heart in love. Always be their friend and in time that love will attract love in return. Sometimes they never return and stay mired in fear, love them all the more. For only love conquers fear. Walk into the light out of the fear and in love keep an eye for the friend lost in fear. Always have your hand ready to pull them from the mire. The relationship will be different, probably stronger, but definitely different.

God Bless all who fall into the spiral of fear and be a beacon for their return to love. I bless the friends of mine with whom this has happened and I ask forgiveness for my trespasses into fear and pray they will still have a hand out when I am in need.

Thank you

My prayer formula

Over the years I have come to see many positive results from prayer. I slowly refined the way I pray. I first realized to see results of a prayer it has to be a prayer in the present moment. Next I have to be grateful for the result I have already achieved. The bible says whatsoever we wish ask in God's name. Moses climbed a mountain and talked to God in the form of a burning bush. At the end of that conversation Moses asked God his name. God said," I AM" Then I have to declare it in the present moment.

So I start my prayer formula with Gratitude:

Thank you God

I then move to the object of my prayer:

For the___(Whatever I am asking for)___________

I move on to God's Name:

I AM

Next is the action step:

recieving

Now to end in the present moment:

Amen

The word Amen when translated means, " So be it" not so, "it will be," or so it was"

Thank you God for the Healing I AM recieving Amen.

The next step is faith. I have to believe that it is true and act accordingly. In using this formula over the years I have seen it work every time. Give it a try and watch the miracles happen.

"Daddy I know everything"

Tonight at dinner my Five year old professed to me, "Daddy I know everything" " Do you?" I responded. He smiled and told me he did. "What is everything?" I asked. "I know that apples and cherries are red" he confidently snapped back. He knew full well that his response answered my question. He was sure the conversation wouldn't continue down that vein. "Is that everything?" I continued, just to see where it would go. " "it's enough" was his response.

Our experiences are draped with knowledge. Each one of us has had multiple experiences as have our families and friends, friends of friends, and neighbors and so on and so on. I have a faith that tells me we are all connected. We are more than what our mirrors reflect back to us. As one, the knowledge must be a communal property, a shared file. Psychics for years have delved into the unversal consciousness to pull information during readings. here was my five year old telling me he know's everything. I think he is right, and as he delves deeper into his interests, the knowledge will be there for the plucking. Like an apple or cherry from a tree. The knowledge is there for the taking. Pluck what is "enough," and be grateful for the resource of universal knowledge. At five years old apples and cherries are red is enough. He made me smile.

Importance

Plans are made. Schedules set. Your mind is made up. Then the call comes from your Ex, "Can you take Kynan after school Tomorrow?" Extra time?!!! The Hell with Plans, Away with schedules, The mind doesn't skip a beat in changing. I nurture the love in my life. I ask god for more of the same and he always gives. The smile upon my face is because of the give and take of love. Nothing shows me the Love of God more than my son and I am grateful!!! Know what is important in your life. What is the right thing to do for your experience of love? To be loving is to be loved. I can not be more grateful!

THANK YOU

Judgements

I recently recieved an email from a woman who decided I was in danger from, "The Evil One" and I was on a path,"away from God, not toward him." After reading the stories posted on www.Johnofnew.com , She decided that what I was doing was dangerous, saying that I was creating, a whole new set of dogmas and religion ,"No one can make up a religion like making your selection in the cafeteria line.,". She wrote . I responded that I respected her beliefs and honored her path thanks for the concern. She responded saying I was trying to glorify myself and that I was "insecure and ignorant."

I am always saddened by the fear people feel created by organized religions. I believe that the kingdom of God is within each of us and it is through our own doorway that we will reach the place of promise. Anyone who knows me knows that I never expect anyone to believe what I believe. I come to my beliefs through my own personal experiences and share them as a means for others to see they are not alone.

When one is raised in a fear based state, anything that is different from those beliefs is ,"Dangerous." I honor the paths that each of us take to the source but when i see people judge others for their personal beliefs it reminds me that there is a lot of fear in the world. Occasionally that fear will reach out and try to pull you in. She judged that I was Dangerous, Ignorant, and Insecure because I did not believe as she did.

I explained that in her faith, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, Ghandi, and a myriad of others were currently burning in hell for their sins of not being catholic. She told me that she never found it to wrong to defend her faith. I asked who she was defending against as I never contacted her. She reached out to judge my faith in fear. I hope that our conversation has allowed her to look in love and not the opposing force, fear.As in all things I am grateful for the experience, I continue as I was, serving. I pray that she will choose to find the peace and contentment I have in my faith. I love you all.

Now a word from our sponsor

I would like to tell you the story of this blog. I was choosing songs for my profile and ran across John Denver' Annie's song. While I was listening to it, it made me think of the love of God. The lyrics were very profound for me. Right in the middle of listening the Lyrics ,"Come Love me Again" stuck out very powerfully. I felt as if God was saying that we had stopped loving him/her because of the stigmas of religion. So I opened my laptop and wrote "Come Love me again" Then the title," A return to Love in the Age of fear" just kind of wrote itself then I watched as a word at a time formed and I wrote them without question of what the next word was or even the meaning of the sentence. AfterI Dictated a bit I went back and read what was written and was astounded. It was my faith, but in God's words and point of view. So I continued letting whatever it was come through. So I entitled the blog ,"A Word from our Sponsor." That title was from me the rest was what came through. That is the whole story.

Come Love Me Again
A Return to Love in the Age of Fear....
.. ..
My brothers and my sisters, my father and mother, my son and daughter, I love you. I have always loved you, I will always love you. I Am with you. I have always been with you. I will always be with you. You feel separate and alone. You are scared. You carry the burdens of fear. You find it hard to receive my Love. You find it hard to Give Love fully. You are tired. You are becoming weak.....
.. ..
You are loved. You deserve love. Love is always present, past and future, Alpha and Omega. My gift to you was your fear. For how can you know love fully without having it’s opposite to measure against? I gave you this to fully understand the depth of love. It was, is, and will be a loving gesture. Out of Love I gave you this gift. Out of love I also gave you the control of fear. You create your fear and it makes you feel separate and alone. It is a loneliness that is insatiable by material means. It is only through Love that the fear is sated. ....
.. ..
My loving gesture to you has been your greatest downfall. You have taken fear as the defining measure of yourself. Your fear dictates your world. This has risen an age of fear. I come in the darkness to show you a path. I come to show you the way out of your dark valley. I am casting the light upon the pathway to the life of promise. I tell you this in truth and in Love. You are one with me. You ask and I give. Wherever you cast focus I will give to you freely out of love. Whatever you do wish to experience I freely give to you out of love. Lovingly I will give to you fear and separation if that is what you wish. Lovingly I will give to you Joy and happiness if that is what you wish. But, you choose rapidly without conscious awareness of what you ask. I give to you freely in every moment. As a moment passes so to does your mind. As your mind changes so to does my gift. ....
.. ..
What I ask of you is to come love me again. Rest in my arms, experience your true nature, for you are one with me. You create your world by your simple declaration. What you declare, that you are. Watch closely what it is you ask for. Become aware of your declarations. Declarations can only be made in the present moment, for it truly is the only moment you have. The Past is gone. The future will not happen if nothing is done within the present moment. When you declare with words that are not congruent with your present moment, such as want, need, try, wish, or hope, what you are asking for in the present moment is wanting, needing, trying, wishing, and hoping. I lovingly give you what you ask for. It was my promise. Ask and you shall receive. The blessed word, “Amen” is a declaration of present tense. It’s meaning is ,”So Be It”. It does not mean,” So it will be” or,” So it was”.....
.. ..
You read the books of teachers and gurus and you begin to declare that you are healthy, joyful, prosperous, but in truth you do not believe and so I lovingly give to you not believing. I ask you to take a leap of faith. In truth it is your faith that heals you. It is your faith that creates. Remember what Jeshua said, “ If YOU have faith as small as a mustard seed you can ask a mountain to move and it will move”. You are the creator. Remember the words of Siddhartha, he who became the Buddha,” We are what we think. All that we are arises with our thoughts. With our thoughts, we make the world." Or as written in the Holy Vedas, “He who knows self as the enjoyer of the honey from the flowers of the senses, ever present within, ruler of time, goes beyond fear. For this self is supreme!” Gandhi, another enlightened Avatar of your time eloquently voiced these words,” Keep your thoughts positive, because your thoughts become your words. Keep your words positive, because your words become your behaviors. Keep your behaviors positive,because your behaviors become your habits. Keep your habits positive, because your habits become your values. Keep your values positive, because your values become your destiny.”....
.. ..
You ask and I give. You are blessed with the gift of creation. I create by your whim. The energy of the universe is what I AM. The will of you is what I create. That I may also experience the knowing of myself, we are symbiotic. It is the full faith in that fact that elevated your avatars to the state called enlightenment. It is called thusly because as you lay down the burden of self imposed fear your soul becomes lighter. You are truly en- lightened. It is by your simple thinking that creates your reality. The illusion of fearful things is merely that, an illusion. Your experience is created upon the atomic level, a level of pure energy without form. You ask and I mold this energy to your declaration. I tell you in truth, I Am the energy. You are truly created within my image. As your eyes gaze about the place where you currently are realize that I Am what you see. Look At the ground beneath you there I AM. As it is so with the very air you breath and the lungs with which you breath me. I Am your breath. The very eyes with which you look upon me, there I Am. You are never alone and always loved. I give to you lovingly. You have asked for proof of my existence. I tell you that the very means of your search I Am. I Am found in your belief. I Am found in your declaration. You have asked and I give lovingly the proof is before you. Look about and know that what you see, I Am. ....

Through many enlightened Avatars I have spoken this. You heard the truth and feeling separate and alone you deified the messengers much to their dismay. For each told you that you are one with Me. Out of fear, religions sprung up around the Avatars. Dogmas that were created to give a structure to be followed, muddied the fact that I do not want followers, but Creators. I ask you to create. I ask you to be one with me. I create as I am the creator. I create as you are the creator. Together in alignment we are the world you experience. When you create a Heaven on earth so be it. The Avatars applaud your path to this enlightened writing, for you have chosen the pathway to this page. You have chosen to be the Avatar within. Look back and see the divinity in your choices.

For here you are creating before you the very path that leads you to me. When you were lost in the valley of your fears, you asked for enlightenment and this page is where it brought you. This page in this present moment, you created. You asked and you received. Here I Am, hear me. You are Divine. As divine as all the Avatars of the past, Jeshua, Buddha, Krishna, Mohammed, many others and many more that are as yet not recognized, are you. You are the Christ, the Buddha, the Avatar. Create freely in full awareness that you create. We are one, I your loving parent and you my Loving child; I your loving child and you my loving parent. Blessed be YOU.

In Us, all things are possible. In We, is the Alpha and the Omega. In Our life is divine creation. In the beginning of creation was the word and that word came to me and I created it around you. With words you created. In fear you fell and found yourself alone in the wilderness, separate and alone. You forgot the gift of fear I gave you. You forgot that it is you who is in control. You forgot that you are the creator. You became lost in dogmatic thinking and separatist religions. You gave up control of your fear and created the feeling of being out of control. I tell you this now, you have always had the control, but you chose to feel separate from the source that is us. Now that you have had that experience, you have asked for a way home. Here it is. Declare control, accept responsibility, there is no wrong, no fault, it was and is all in divine order you asked and it was given and now you ask for something new and it is given. There is no failure. There is no Guilt. Each is a perception of the mind and has been translated into “sin.”

I Am Love. Is Love judgmental? Is Love vengeful? To think you are judged is to be in fear. To think you will be punished is to be in fear of vengeance. Recognize the state of fear and dismiss it. It is choice and when you choose to recognize it, it will dissipate. Bring yourself to Joy for Love is positive. Love is Joyful. Love is Happy. As you begin to create Joy and Happiness in your self then will joy and happiness surround you. For then will you be creating Love.

Do you remember the time of your greatest joy? Do you remember laughing uncontrollably? Think back and remember how that felt. Create within yourself the remembrance of Love, feel it. That is my Love. There I am in every smile. You connect in Joy. When you feel separate and alone, things do not FEEL joyful. The search begins for joyful things. We feel Joy is always external because we are separate and alone. We find alternate sources of joy, but as they are not true joy from within, they fade. We run back to them for the feeling of joy. Thus an addictive behavior is formed. When you realize that the Love is within and you can feel it at anytime with the simple release of fear, you become empowered and the addiction is now powerless.

Find the smile within, feel it, Meditate upon it. Let not the word meditation be daunting, for it is mere awareness. In noticing and feeling the vibrations of the body you are in meditation. If you wish for body transcendence then merely become aware of your body and let go of emotional attachment and watch as your body breaths upon it’s own. It is a created form within me. I breath it’s every breath. Your feelings weigh it down. Your choices make it heavy and painful. But I tell you this in each release you have the opportunity to experience me again. Take this present moment, inhale deeply and then fully release. Release every muscle fully with you exhale. Notice at the last of your exhale a feeling. It is lighter. It is Joyful. I tell you now, there I Am.

I Am You. I Am Me. We Are. Your consciousness, My consciousness, The combined Higher self consciousness are the trinity of which you seek. The avatars of the past declared their oneness and so they reached enlightenment. There is no hierarchy. No one is greater than anyone else. We are One. Is your hand greater than your foot? Is the Air greater than the water? We are equal. We are each experiencing the creation of ourselves from different vantage points. This is why Jeshua washed his disciples feet, to show that he was no better than they. He declared himself the son of Man. What are you but the children of man.

I tell you also this, there is no hierarchy of man or woman they are one in the great Us. There is no need for a separation of any type. Lines are drawn on maps out of fear, to stake a claim, to get their “fair share.” The experience of Lack is the experience of fear. Release the fear and receive the Love you are promised. To come to know me fully is to know yourself fully.

In Fear have we become complacent about your prophets, Messiahs, and Avatars. In fear we sometimes cringe at their very names, none more so than that of Jeshua. Jesus, as he has been referred, has been vilified by fearful acts done in his name. Mohammed has been maligned by fearful acts done in his name. Each has fallen prey to misinterpretation out of fear. Many say these names now and a negative feeling comes upon the body. That negative feeling is fear. They, for many, now embody fear. Each was enlightened and each told us of a love that was unconditional. Each told us kindness was the pathway. Each told us to live as they lived, because we are the Avatars.

Lay down your fear of these names and real-ize their teachings, Love one another, know kindness. See Us in all people. Each parent loves their child each child loves their parent. I tell you that in each other is your child, is your parent, is Jeshua, Is Mohammed, in You, there also I AM. Simplicity is the pathway, no ceremony, no ritual; we cling to ritual out of fear. The rituals are of a time long past. I Am present, here now. Ask for miracles and expect them, because, in truth, miracles are foretold creations. Each chronicled miracle was created in time by the Avatar. You are one such Avatar. You have been creating unconsciously. Now create with full awareness of your divinity.

I hear now the voices of those who would call these writings blasphemous. Against whom do they blaspheme? Blasphemy is a creation of fear. I tell you there is only Love and Fear. I Am Love. The bible tells us so. As I am not judgment or vengeance it is impossible to blaspheme against me. There are some who will declare this a devil’s work. I say again there is only Love and Fear. In which state do such declarations come?

We have come through the Valley and now as we ascend to the light at the crescent, those invested in fear will protest. They will expose their fear and do harmful things, but, if those things are not in your creation than they will not harm you. You are creating Love, if you so choose.

The Age of Enlightenment is coming to a close. At the end of the age is the Enlightened Age. Enlightenment is a process of en-lightenment. To End that process is to be enlightened. It is your choice. “To Be or Not To Be,” how will you answer this question? It is the time of your dreaming and I tell you,” There are more things in Heaven and Earth than are dreamt of in our philosophy.” The wondrous thing is that you can ask the mountain to move. It is just thought. There is no evil that will stop you. Evil is manifested fear. It is the Opposing force that we measure Love against. Fear is controlled by our thoughts and ,”There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so” Over the ages many have spoken volumes of truth and actors mouth these words without recognizing the divinity within the resonance. Hamlet spoke many divine words for the ones deafened by fear. It is now in our present moment age that we can begin to understand what Shakespeare was speaking of.

How many times have those closest to you spoken exactly what it was you needed to hear? How many times have you been that person for someone else? How many times have you become aware of the divine source speaking through everything and everyone? You are Me and I you. We are creating for those around us as they are creating for us. We are intertwined in creation and yet that is too complex a definition. It all happens as simply as the grass growing. It just grows. The processes of growth can be studied, but I tell you this as you study it is created. As someone declares it to be so, they create a system of beliefs and the next student finds what is expected. Your consciousness is one and as such, as knows one so knows all on some level. It is all far simpler than you have created it to be.

He said, "I Am" while he was.
A few weeks ago while doing a healing day at Merging Hearts Holistic Center in Canton Ohio, a mother came in carrying her eleven year old son on her back. He had been paralyzed two years before. She set him on the couch in the room where I was working. "Do you believe in God?", I asked him. "Yes," he replied. "Do you believe God can heal you?". "Yes" he replied. "Do you believe God can heal you in this room?" I responded. "Yes" he replied. "Do you believe that God can heal you now?" I strongly responded. After a short pause he responded confidently,"Yes" I stood up in front of him, offered my hands, which he took. He then leaned forward got his body over his legs and pushed himself into a standing position. After a short time his legs collapsed under him and I set him back on the couch. "Who did that?' I asked. " I did" he replied. I said "Do you want to do it again?". Without delay he said,"Yes". Again he leaned forward got his body over his legs and pushed himself up. While he stood there I leaned down and looked into his eyes, "Who is doing that?" I asked. "I Am" he responded. Soon after his legs collapsed again. Now his legs were tired. so I asked him to lift his legs off the ground and he did. His legs then spasmed and I asked him to relax them out of the spasm and he did. We did that several times, then just the right leg and then the left. This eleven year old boy was able to make the jump into his divinity. He was creating in time. He touched his inner Christ, his inner Buddha, his inner Krishna, his inner Avatar. He did so in the name of both God and the divine present moment. I am blessed to have witnessed his divinity.

Thank you

Projection
When people walk in fear they look for fear in all things. That being said relationships can get strained in the process. The most inane comments can be turned into attacks out of fear based defensiveness. To justify the defensiveness of fear reasons are projected for it. To need defense is to be in a place of fear of attack. When no attack exists, they are created in the mind to justify the fear. "Please don't turn the tv down", a simple statement with nothing behind it becomes an attack for the one who is projecting. "I don't like your tone" starts the fear based response. "what tone?" eggs the reaction further. The escalation climbs. Until the fear based anger is in full bloom in both parties. Fear wins.Have you ever been shocked to find out that you've been mad at someone for weeks. I recently had the experience where I was informed that I have been mad at someone for weeks. The information came after a defensive response to an inane statement. I was shocked! Then I was angered by the hurtful response. It was hurtful, fearful, and baseless. I say it was baseless as it was based on a projection that was not there in reality. I didn't understand, but I realized that the response only fueled the fire of fear. Which made the justifications a reality. I quickly apologized for my part as I also gave a fear based response.I am sorry for the fall into fear that I was pulled into. Like in meditation when the mind gets distracted I will go back to the walk of love and understand that love is the only answer.

Thank you for the reminder.

Financial Miracle

A Financial Miracle
Winter is usually hard for me financially and this one has been no different. The other day I woke up and put out a prayer for a financial miracle. I am a firm believer that you should be as specific as you can be when we pray. This morning , however, I decided to leave it to God/Universe. "A Financial Miracle" was the request I had for God. On the way to pick up my son from his Grandmother's home, I stopped by the Best Buy Store to pick up my latest fried laptop (Three in the past two years). I sent it out to see if it could be repaired and though they said it could, the repair was going to cost more than a new computer. I walked into Best Buy $85 poorer for the diagnostic fee I already paid. "I'm here to pick up my laptop" I said to the self -named Geek behind the counter. He brought the computer to the counter and set it in front of me. "I'll be right back, I need you to sign some paperwork" he said as he walked away from the counter. Five minutes went by, then ten, he returned. "Mr Davis I'm sorry for the delay there is a problem with your order" he apologetically started, " You see the diagnostic fee is non refundable. For some reason the paperwork says we need to refund $50 of it. We don't know why and none of us knows how to do that in our system. It's never happened before." I laughed inside as he continued," I'll be right back with the paperwork." I watched manager after manger got involved with the anomaly. Finally one manager came over with the paperwork. " Mr Davis I am sorry for the delay we have never had to do this refund before and we did figure out how to do it in the system, but then we had another issue. For some reason we couldn't put the money back on your card. I guess we have to give it to you in cash is that OK?" "Cash is good" I said with a smile. I had received my financial miracle. It wasn't what I had hoped for it was what I asked for. It once again reaffirmed my faith.

Potential

"What you think you become"; "Greater Works than I have done you will do"; " We are the Culmination of our thoughts"; "With Faith as small as a mustard seed you may ask a mountain to move and it will move", these are the words of the Avatars of Old. Each reached a place to be admired. Each reached the heights of their potential. Each told us it is our potential. Each accepted their personal role in divinity and effected the world around them. When they walked among us they each told us we are divine and all we have to do is take our place. It's the "taking" where we get confused. To "Take a place" is an interesting concept. We can take a place in a line or we can take the place of leader. What each Avatar asked of us was to take the role of leader in our own lives. It seems selfish to be sure. It is ,however, Through our own personal enlightenment that we can enlighten those around us. Each of the Avatars led by example. They lived the life of our potential. They asked us to follow their lead, so we could lead ourselves. As we reach the heights of our potential they ask us to to lead those behind us so they could lead those behind them. The true peacemakers of the world would love it if the world thought like they do. So they show another way in hopes that it would catch on and change the world. Each Avatar would love it if the world thought like they do, so they showed another way. Each hoping to change the world and reach it's fullest potential. Live a loving life, give Love, receive Love, expect nothing less. You are Love. God is Love. accept your role as a part of something greater and resonate with it and feel lighter. Become En-Lightened. Resonate with the vibrational song of Love and listen as the world harmonizes with you. Watch as the lights come up on a perfect life. witness the standing ovation of the universe and come in harmony with your potential. There is NOTHING to fear. It is only you and your potential without limits.

Crucial Day

In our lives we have people who mold who we are. Sometimes the process isn't pleasant. Sometimes we become who we are by harsh means. In my life my Father was mean, self centered, abusive, and demeaning, yet without that upbringing I would not be the person I am today. Words from parents have lasting results. They effect every aspect of your life. This morning I mourn the passing of my father. I can remember very few positive memories of the man, but I know that without that childhood to overcome I would not be able to be the person I am today. I thank him for doing the best he could with his own demons and know that now that he has returned to source he can breath in the Love of God and rest from his pains.
